3. Amanda’s Channel 7 Days & The Plight of News Anchors (06:53–10:29)

Memorable Exchanges:

  “It was the bottom. It was the bottom. And I've had this wine before… I poured it out thick… opaque, fully brown pieces. I was like, oh, you can't put that in your body.” (29:29)

7. The Great Podcast Seat Experiment (32:30–37:00)

• Shayne proposes a segment: everyone swaps podcast seats to see if it changes their “vibe.”
• Hilarity ensues as the hosts feel their personalities shift, Amanda breaks down laughing ("Where’s your mom?"), and Tommy theorizes about the different “energy” in each seat.
• This moment becomes a running gag, with Amanda sob-laughing and declaring,
  “This is a tough chair…I feel like I just swam at the bottom of the pool and I popped up at a place I didn’t like.” (33:29–33:38)

8. Getting Emotional (39:44–42:06)

• Tommy shares how a TikTok of a Native American woman singing moved him to tears, marking his “weeping era.”

9. “Hot Take Roulette” — New Smosh Pit Game (48:31–56:07)

• Shayne pitches a Smosh Pit game involving a roulette wheel and assigning “heat level” to hot takes in a category. Examples:
  • Mild music takes (“Beyoncé is a talented vocalist” or “most people like pop music”) (50:36)
  • Clothing (“Jeans go with everything” vs. “You should fold your knitwear”) (51:26)
  • Alcohol (Shane’s tongue-in-cheek: “Tequila is the liquor for people who don’t like alcohol”) (53:51)
• The group enjoys the challenge, judging each other's ability to match the needed “heat” of a take.

10. Absurd Game Pitches & Podcast Meta (58:43–61:40)

• Tommy describes a never-made Smosh game: “Try Not to Nut” (spot the porn screenshot or get pelted with walnuts).
• More “Hot Take Roulette” (best Alien movie, gross animals, “The Rock’s best role is Scorpion King”).

11. Sound/Sentence by Number Game (67:10–71:43)

• Tommy invents a game where each number corresponds to a “sound or sentence” (e.g., “Hi, guys, I want to sit on your lap” for a 6).
• The group briefly shifts into doing “cartoon noise” numbers, riffing on Tom & Jerry, and reflecting on childhood cartoon restrictions. (Tommy: “Let’s do Tom and Jerry sounds, pick a number!”)

12. People.com Guessing Game (75:05–77:52)

• The last test-segment: Selena reads headlines from People.com, hosts race to identify the celebrity. (They struggle with David Beckham & Victoria Beckham and a Guy Fieri headline.)
• Amanda declares defeat, humorously admitting, “I’m done. I’m done.” (77:52)

---

Overall Vibe & Takeaways

• The episode embodies classic Smosh chaos: random segues, playful arguments, nostalgia, and self-aware humor.

[Shane]

Tony, have you ever owned a phone case?

[Tommy]

Yes. Oh, I used to phone case all the time.

[Shane]

What happened?

[Tommy]

I dated someone who put it into my brain that if you didn't have a phone case, you look rich.

[Shane]

What an insane origin.

[Amanda]

What if you don't have a phone? Oh, because.

[Tommy]

Because I can afford a replacement.

[Tommy]

Like, it's heartbreaking. No, you still have. You still have magnet.

[Shane]

That's the ring.

[Tommy]

You still have magnet. Yeah, but, like, that's to keep the magnet through the case. That doubles the magnet.

X Men yelled at the wall to get it out.

[Amanda]

Like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Shane]

Like, what are you doing? Let it out.

[Tommy]

We were on the game set. I wonder if it'll make it into a video. This is so nonsense. I said something and then Arasha went to repeat it and just went. And then just like, shut down. And so now I just. I'll go up to her and I'll.

[Amanda]

Go, did she mean to shut.

[Tommy]

She just went to. Her brain just short circuited. So she went to go say something. She went.

[Amanda]

Let me say my brain has short circuited a lot.

[Shane]

I'm sure Frank got it.

[Amanda]

No, I'm. Yeah, I just can't speak.

[Shane]

Can I ask. This is airing on the 826 January. January.

[Tommy]

So the live show is done.

[Shane]

The live show happened 10 days ago.

[Amanda]

How are we feeling about the live show?

[Shane]

I thought it went really well, I hope. Good. I realized I've not talked about it a lot in the previous smosh mouths because we were shooting them before we even announced the live show. But I hope it went well. I was working on that bad boy for six months, so.

[Amanda]

Yeah, that's wild.

[Shane]

Yeah. But hey, yeah, you can still check it out, I'm sure.

[Tommy]

Yeah, I. I got my lines memorized day of the live show.

[Amanda]

Yeah, yeah, I got my line.

[Shane]

I can't believe you did what you did in that show.

[Tommy]

Oh, my God.

[Amanda]

It was wild when I got. I was disgusting.

[Tommy]

It's gross.

[Amanda]

That backflip that I did, so I nearly broke my right hip.

[Tommy]

Yeah, good thing you broke your left one instead.

[Amanda]

Thank God. Anyways, I'm recovered.

[Tommy]

Good.

[Shane]

How was everybody's Christmas?

[Amanda]

Oh, hot chocolate. Hot chocolate, marshmallows.

[Tommy]

It was good. I had a good Christmas. I went home to see my family and. Oh, I can talk about this now because this won't come out. So my parents are so hard to get gifts for because I'm an only child. So it's like there's a lot of pressure. I don't know. The gift is me coming home.

[Amanda]

Yeah. And you coming out.

[Tommy]

And me coming out every year.

[Amanda]

Gay, mommy, daddy.

[Tommy]

Gay. Gay. And so my dad loves hockey and he loves the Panthers. And so I decided to do a small splurge and do something that I've always wanted to do, which is he's gonna open a box and it'll be like in two days we're gonna go see a hockey game.

[Shane]

No, that's the best.

[Tommy]

Those are the best. Cause it's like, oh, you literally. We're gonna go do something father. Cause it's like I kind it too because I get to spend a day with my dad. But I got somehow I got a really good deal. And we have second row up from the glass. So it's going to be like I'm not going to tell them what seat have you been?

[Amanda]

You are going to love it.

[Shane]

Have you been to a hockey game before?

[Tommy]

I used to go when I was a lot younger. It's truly like going to a soccer game, but it's indoors.

[Shane]

I've never been to a hockey game.

[Amanda]

Oh, they're so fun.

[Tommy]

And I'm sure it's cold and it's inside very exciting. And like no matter what, it's just. There's a lot of movement and you can't really tell what's going on. So you're just like, whoo.

[Amanda]

I think the last one I went to a Kings game and then I would go to Bruins games a lot and I was obsessed. I loved it. Loved it. Cuz it's. It's kind of brutal to watch.

[Tommy]

Yeah, brutal.

[Amanda]

It's kind of what Shane sweatshirt says. Brutal.

[Shane]

Brutal.

[Tommy]

Brutal. Yeah, it's a lot of fun. They fight sometimes.

[Shane]

Oh, oh yeah, they do.

[Amanda]

They do.

[Shane]

The rule that the refs don't interfere until it goes to the ground is wild.

[Tommy]

It's awesome.

[Amanda]

When I was working at Channel 7, we had a lot of Bruins players come in. Cuz we had a like a sports area and every time they came in it just looks like they were beaten with like an inch of their lives. Like their nose.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Amanda]

Were just gone. Like they were just forever, like cemented and they always had like dark circles and they were like in suits and it was just a weird thing to see.

[Shane]

Oh, wow.

[Tommy]

Oh.

[Amanda]

The Bruins were like near the north end, which was very close to where Channel 7 was in Boston. Pretty cool. Neat.

[Tommy]

Do you wish you were back at Channel 7? No.

[Amanda]

I really, really don't.

[Tommy]

What's a. What's something you wish you could have reported on?

[Shane]

Ooh. Ooh. Oh, that's a good.

[Tommy]

It could be anything.

[Shane]

It's a good question.

[Tommy]

Whether it's out of your league, under your league has nothing to do with.

[Amanda]

I wish I could have reported on, like, a big, like, the World cup or like. Or like, something really epic where everyone was getting together and I was, like, outside in all the chaos, but. Except it was just like, you know, Boston's been working on the bridge. The turnpike. The bridge, you know, construction still underway, and it was just like another thing. Or snowstorms.

[Tommy]

Thanks, loser. And then we've also got, like.

[Amanda]

Oh, I think I. Yeah.

[Shane]

Being a newscaster, I oddly feel like the big, insane news stories. That's got to be the easiest, like, most, like, interesting part of the job. When I see. When it's like, oh, you're a newscaster and, oh, they're putting you out in the field at the. The chili cook off, I'm like, that's got to be agony.

[Tommy]

Got to be.

[Shane]

You got to make energy, dude.

[Amanda]

They just sit. They sit forever. And if they're going to court, they're in court for hours and hours and hours, and then it's their time to go. I just. And you think, like, Channel 7 is, like, glitz and glam. Like, it's old in there. Like, they don't. They didn't even have. When I was there, they didn't even have everything on digital. You had to go to, like, little tapes in the stacks that were like, there's a dead body in here. Like, it was, like, old. It just. It felt like. And you didn't know what time it was, and it was definitely 4am and every time I would park my car, I'd go through the alleyway, and there was tons of rats. All the amount of rats that hit my boots.

[Shane]

Hit your boots.

[Tommy]

So, like, you're making it sound like you're not kicking rats.

[Shane]

It sounds like they're hitting. It sounds like they're t boning.

[Amanda]

Your shoes were attacking my boots.

[Shane]

They would, like, run.

[Amanda]

I didn't. I just shuffled through the alleyway.

[Shane]

Oh, my God.

[Amanda]

Oh, my God. My boots had rat prints all over them every day.

[Tommy]

So they're just hanging out, having a normal night, just, like, having conversations. Then a giant.

[Amanda]

They're not a giant.

[Tommy]

Woman comes in with her big.

[Amanda]

Their normal night is this. Just running forth. They're going I got you, Tag. I got you. And then I'm just going to doof.

[Tommy]

Channel seven.

[Shane]

Channel seven. Oh, well, fun.

[Amanda]

Yeah, well, fun.

[Tommy]

The news anchor voice is probably my favorite thing ever.

[Amanda]

When you talk like this and you dip it down here and you know that you're going to go here, but everybody knows that it's this time, Amanda.

[Tommy]

My favorite thing is when there's up and down, side to side, and I'm sitting at this table next to Shane and Amanda. Tonight, we'll find out what I'm gonna say next.

[Amanda]

What's in your fridge that will kill you at 11? It goes up at the end.

[Tommy]

And what we mean by that is at 11pm your fridge will kill you.

[Amanda]

Your fridge will kill you. Isn't that great? Now let's see these puppies. Oh.

[Tommy]

Oh.

[Shane]

Later tonight, after Jimmy Fallon, we'll find out who's behind you and what they're about to do.

[Tommy]

Yeah.

[Amanda]

Very good. Very good.

[Tommy]

Thanks.

[Amanda]

It's fun. It's fun. You know, it's fun.

[Shane]

It is a fun time. No, it sounds like it's actually not fun ever, but it's fun.

[Tommy]

But it's fun to hear.

[Shane]

It's fun to hear.

[Amanda]

If it was my dream, it would be unbelievable. But it wasn't my dream. It was like, I wanna be an actor. And my mom was like, you're gonna do. This is the next best thing.

[Shane]

I remember we the next best thing. Cause we did that. We did a local news for la. We did an interview where someone came in here and just like the what it demands to do that type of work. I'm like, I'm incapable one day and I'd be so exhausted I'd have to nap for five months.

[Amanda]

Especially if you're just starting out, it's just you, a cameraman, you're doing everything.

[Shane]

Truly.

[Tommy]

Yeah. And you have to care so much about nothing. Like, you have to really wear makeup.

[Amanda]

Simply two hours before you're on air. So if you work at the 4am shift, you're up at 2am Yikes, yikes, yikes, yikes.

I'm not playing a spot.

[Tommy]

Amanda's brain just took a screenshot.

[Shane]

My body.

[Amanda]

My body's like. I don't know. Cockroaches are horrible.

[Tommy]

Yeah, they're pretty bad.

[Shane]

Cockroaches and rats.

[Amanda]

Cockroaches are horrible.

[Tommy]

Awful. Awful.

[Amanda]

You know that scene in Traders.

[Shane]

Where they're dumping the. Okay, can I be honest, though? I'm the type that, when I saw that challenge, I was like, that. That's the easiest challenge. No, no, no.

[Tommy]

Let's explain it.

[Shane]

I can. What?

[Tommy]

Explain it.

[Shane]

Oh, so. So they. They had to hold each other's hands within this glass box, and they just had to have a grip. And it's. Nothing's pulling them apart. It is purely psychological. They're holding hands, but then they're dropping stuff into this box.

[Amanda]

Not just stuff, snakes. Bags.

[Shane]

Bags. Lots of bugs inside this.

[Tommy]

None that'll bite you.

[Amanda]

Oh, they could.

[Shane]

Yeah. And they're not gonna bite them. I think that's a liability. Cockroaches don't bite. Like, it's mostly. It's mostly.

[Amanda]

Then they, Then they. Then they dropped in this, like, thick, long, like.

[Shane]

Yeah, like A millipede.

[Amanda]

You're cool with that?

[Shane]

I think it was a milliput. And then they also drop it on their heads.

[Amanda]

They drop it on their.

[Shane]

They're dropping bugs and stuff, and they're wearing top hats.

[Amanda]

We don't know why.

[Shane]

Actually.

[Amanda]

That was just, like, a separate thing.

[Shane]

But do you think, okay, we've talked about Survivor and stuff on this show before, but, like, when it comes to, like, having bugs on you, is that something like, you could.

[Tommy]

I'm signing up for a challenge, and I do. I can do a bug. That's fine. If I'm, like, in bed.

[Shane]

Oh, yeah, that's.

[Amanda]

Honey, this isn't a bug. This is bags of bugs.

[Tommy]

I could do bags of bugs.

[Shane]

We had our hands in a glass box, and we were holding hands and they were dropping bugs. If. If we're like this and they're dropping bugs on us, are you able to hold on?

[Amanda]

I don't know. I might throw up and scream. I might. I might. I might throw up and scream. I might throw up and scream. I hate this.

[Tommy]

Okay, close your eyes.

[Amanda]

It's bug, but I know it's your hand.

[Shane]

No, it was. It was the coolest moment. Because in Traders in that season. I know the new season's out now, but in the previous season, Boston Rob, who's, like, such a vet from reality shows, he's holding. And I forget. His partner was, like, a young woman, right?

[Tommy]

Yes.

[Shane]

And the way he was, like, talking to her throughout that process, he's like. He's like. He's like, hey, so when's your birthday? He's like, oh, my gosh. That's so funny. That's the same birthday as my daughter.

[Amanda]

Yeah.

[Shane]

And he's, like, talking to her. They're covered in bugs, and he's just like, that's so interesting. So, like, what do you like to do when you go to this place? Whatever. He's like, just like, hey, let's just go somewhere else. Because he was unfazed.

[Amanda]

He was unfazed. Of course.

[Shane]

He's Boston.

[Tommy]

Boston Rock.

[Shane]

He's a legend. I love Boss, but truly, that stuff, I'm not bothered by it at all. Forever ago, we got to do a thing where we had a bunch of bugs and animals here that Courtney and. And Olivia were hosting a show with with them. And there was a part where they're like, oh, we. We have this big tarantula. Do you want it to crawl across your face? And I. And truly, like, Olivia did it. I don't know if Courtney did it, but Then I was like, I'll. I'll do it. I was like, that sounds cool. And so, like, I laid my face down on a. On a table and, like, this tarantula crawled across it, and it feels crazy.

[Amanda]

The.

[Tommy]

The tips are heavier.

[Shane]

They're a little heavy, but also the tips of their legs feel like a little needle.

[Tommy]

Oh, really?

[Shane]

It feels like kind of like a little acupuncture type of vibe.

[Tommy]

Oh, my God. I need that on my arm.

[Shane]

It was really interesting.

[Amanda]

I'm actually very surprised that you're into this.

[Tommy]

I don't. I don't want.

[Amanda]

Yeah, you don't want.

[Tommy]

I don't.

[Shane]

You're not. You're not.

[Tommy]

When a bug in nature decides to interact with me.

[Amanda]

Yeah, you don't.

[Shane]

You don't want.

[Amanda]

I don't want. You don't want.

[Tommy]

But, like, in my home, if I see a spider, I'm like, usually, I'll let him chill out. Unless he's up in my business.

[Shane]

You don't have. You don't have an aversion to spiders?

[Amanda]

Not really. Oh, a thick ass tarantula with, like, a big butt. See, I'm like, get out.

[Shane]

Oh, no, Tarantula does not bother me. It's the tiny, little, tiny, little skinny, fast ones.

[Amanda]

No, no. Spiders are weirdly. Okay, maybe because east coast, there's spiders everywhere.

[Tommy]

Yeah, but tarantulas, like, are known to be, like, the least.

[Shane]

They're not like a.

[Tommy]

They really don't care.

[Amanda]

Here's you guys. You guys are confused. I'm not worried about what they'll do to me. I don't want the texture, and you just don't.

[Shane]

You just don't like my body.

[Tommy]

Got it.

[Shane]

I get that.

[Tommy]

Got it. Okay.

[Amanda]

You know that.

[Tommy]

So it's not their intent. It's their form.

[Amanda]

It. Yeah, that sounds awful.

[Tommy]

I think I'm just.

[Shane]

Actually, it's not their intent. It's their form is so funny.

[Amanda]

So awful. We can't say that.

[Shane]

Well, I get. I get it, though. I'm always fascinated when people just have, like, a full aversion because I'm like, yes. If I'm walking around and suddenly a bug skitters out of nowhere, I'm gonna jump back and be like, what the hell is that? I don't want that near me. But I don't understand just. Just seeing it and being like, oh, oh.

[Amanda]

I do have to say, like, I will ride or die for you, but if. If a rat or something comes towards you. So I was walking with my friend, so Sam, and we were Walking to the movies. And it was, I think, downtown. A guy opened a door and the door was like, to a trash room. And my friend wore open toed shoes, which you never do downtown. You never wear open toed shoes downtown.

[Tommy]

This is actually.

[Amanda]

So the door opened and the rat was like, yay. And it ran directly towards us. And we were like, holding hands, like, cracking up, like, being friends.

[Tommy]

Imagine you. You pick Sam up and you throw.

[Amanda]

No, I didn't do any of that. The rat, she kills me to this day. The rat landed on, like, sprawled out like a beach on her open toad. And I ditched her ass. I literally unhooked her arms and I went.

[Shane]

No, it crawled onto her foot.

[Amanda]

It literally went, like, on her feet. It was like, yay. And I left her ass and ran. I literally was like, nope. And I ran and left her alone to go, ah. And the rat was like, oh, you're freaking out. So what it did is just kept rubbing its little belly on her.

[Shane]

What the hell is this rat on her little belly?

[Amanda]

Oh, you're scared. I'm going to stay here.

[Tommy]

Have you ever seen a really fat rat? Like a pet rat that's really fat?

[Amanda]

No.

[Shane]

Pet rats are apparently really sweet in New York.

[Amanda]

They're like the size of your forearm.

[Shane]

So, no. When I go to New York, whenever I see a rat, it's like, truly, like a celebrity sighting scene. I'm like, rat, same. I hear about you guys.

[Amanda]

Yeah, here, they're there.

[Shane]

They're. They're everywhere.

[Tommy]

But, like, in New York, they're like.

[Shane]

I've rarely seen them. I've rarely seen them in my life. Like, when I'm in cities, I, like, look for them and I'm like. But I feel like you see them for a moment and then they skitter away.

[Tommy]

Well, you got to go to the back alleys.

[Amanda]

Yeah. You've lived a very cushy life if you haven't seen a rat.

[Shane]

And I just. You don't know. You don't know what that. You don't know what that rat's been through. It's like, maybe you make delicious dishes.

[Amanda]

What?

[Shane]

Maybe you train turtles.

[Amanda]

No, they're bare, crawling buildings.

[Shane]

They're like, dude, do boom.

[Amanda]

That's what they're doing.

[Shane]

Amazing. Sounds incredible.

[Tommy]

So they're Spider Man.

[Shane]

They Spider Man?

[Amanda]

Yeah, they're Spider Man.

[Tommy]

Are they Spider Man?

[Amanda]

They're not, like, cute like Spider Man. They're not like.

[Shane]

I just. I don't see rats as being disgusting. I see them. They look cute. They look no different than they're just big mice.

[Tommy]

Oh, that's wild.

[Amanda]

Good for you.

[Tommy]

Well, one person's right and one person's.

[Shane]

I will say, okay, there is one, there is one thing there. It's a bug that them. Absolutely.

[Tommy]

Mosquitoes.

[Shane]

Not mosquitoes. I, I, I don't get bothered by like what? I don't get bit by mosquitoes too often. You don't know what it is. Sweet blood, I guess I don't have sweet blood.

[Tommy]

I actually haven't been bit by mosquitoes in a while.

[Shane]

And I also, there's not, they're not that prevalent in la. I will say when I go to Florida and stuff, sometimes I get, I'm annoyed by them.

[Amanda]

Florida.

[Shane]

I don't hate them though. I don't. If I see them, it's not like a disgust. There is one thing that if I see it, I'm going to kill it.

[Amanda]

Whoa.

[Shane]

Full on. I love is it everything else. I do everything to not harm any bugs or any animals. I will Even flies. I'm like, you can do your thing. My cats are going to probably kill you. And I can't stop them.

[Tommy]

What is that?

[Shane]

But wasps can go to hell.

[Tommy]

Well, they're like nature's villain.

[Amanda]

They're naughty. They are, they're like, neat, neat, neat.

[Shane]

They are awful.

[Tommy]

One time I went camping, glamping. I don't camp. And I, and I didn't pay for the glamp. So I was just, I got to go.

[Shane]

Nice.

[Amanda]

Just hanging.

[Tommy]

It was when I was, I was dating someone who, whose family was like that. And so we went there and there was, they were coming out of the ground because, you know, the wasps can.

[Shane]

Like, they can do everything. They could do everything.

[Tommy]

And so there were, I would say maybe five wasps around you at any time. It was that many wasps in the air. And so we would just, we would take paper plates and just go. We would just be like, oh, you know, oh, let's, let's, you know, it's 11:00am let's walk around. And so we're just out there going, boom, boom. And as soon as you'd hit one, it'd fall on the ground and go. And then we'd kill it.

[Amanda]

Oh.

[Tommy]

And it was like we felt like evil monsters against nature. But also we were like, we need to protect ourselves. We're trying to hang out.

[Amanda]

I'm, I'm a good person over here. I'm just talking about my disgust. You guys are actually murdering Only wasps.

[Tommy]

Only wasps.

[Shane]

Because they will get in your face. They, Bees love them.

[Tommy]

Oh, my God. There was a dead bee in my.

[Shane]

Kitchen, and it makes me so sad.

[Tommy]

And I was like, how'd you get in here? I would have saved you.

[Amanda]

Yeah.

[Shane]

No, Occasionally running into a. A dying bee is so tragic.

[Amanda]

Oh, my God.

[Shane]

It happens a lot.

[Tommy]

There's my friend Bear. He has a pool in his, like, apartment.

[Amanda]

Okay, Rich.

[Tommy]

No, it's. It's shared by everyone, and no one's ever in it except every once in a while, a drowning bee. And if I walk by, I'll be like, no, no. And I'll, like, scoop about, and I'll, like, put him on a thing, and.

[Amanda]

I'll be like, oh, it's very sweet.

[Shane]

A little tiny cpr. Some honey.

[Tommy]

Yeah.

[Shane]

Like, drink, drink, drink. Thank you, Tom. He's like, I don't drink honey. I make it.

[Tommy]

Idiot.

[Shane]

Anyways, that's. That's a little funny.

[Amanda]

Should we play one of our segments?

[Shane]

All right.

[Amanda]

I liked this a lot.

[Tommy]

Segments? How many segments does a roach have? Your face dropped immediately. I just wanted to see what would happen.

[Shane]

Whoa.

[Amanda]

No, literally, I'm not even playing these faces. It's like. It's like a. Like a grate through my whole body. I'm just like.

[Tommy]

I'm like, all right, shall we segment?

[Shane]

Yeah. Does anyone have one we want to talk over? And we can play any that we want that we are capable of playing, or we can just talk. Talk it out. It's okay. We're going to move on.

[Amanda]

Okay.

[Tommy]

I have one. That's just fun. That's easy. I love recommendations that aren't focused on anything at all. It could be a book. It could be a movie. It could be something to do. It could be how to sleep. It could be, I don't know, something that's working for you right now or that you've enjoyed recently that you want to recommend just broadly.

[Amanda]

Okay, this probably won't work anything. This probably won't work for, like, anything, you guys, but for me, okay, Hair towels are a big thing when I get out of the shower. Like, a big thing. Like, it needs to be the right hair towel. If it's too thick, it'll just fall. Yeah, I do like.

[Tommy]

You do like the cartoon lady. Up, up.

[Amanda]

Yes, exactly. You're in the robe and you're like, oh, exactly. And then I drop my robe, and then I open the door and I go, oh, no one's there. Um, so I got these towels for my son. They're like muslin cotton. They're so wonderful. They are. And they have, like, the little triangle where you Put the baby's head in. They are perfect for your hair towels. Oh, they're so light and soft, and they dry super, super quick.

[Tommy]

Okay.

[Amanda]

That's my recommendation.

[Tommy]

Is your head the size of a baby?

[Shane]

No.

[Amanda]

Okay, so the triangle only fits up here? No, no, the triangle fits. So I put the triangle here, and then I bend over, and then I wrap, and then I do the.

[Tommy]

Oh, so it's up in the back.

[Amanda]

Yes, yes, yes, yes.

[Tommy]

That's great.

[Shane]

Okay.

[Amanda]

Thank you.

[Tommy]

Incredible recommendation.

[Shane]

So fun. Just any recommendation at all?

[Tommy]

At all. What do you recommend today?

[Shane]

Okay, give me a second. Can you. Do you want to go or do you.

[Tommy]

Do you.

[Amanda]

Yeah, you go.

[Tommy]

Yeah, I can go. I would like to recommend if you have a bottle of orange wine to finish it on the day. I've had a few orange wines lately where I've let it rest until the next day. And it has turnt. It has turnt back.

[Amanda]

Is it outside of the fridge or inside?

[Tommy]

Nope, it's in the fridge.

[Amanda]

I don't know.

[Tommy]

It's the. So I was at the end of a. Okay, so people at home like orange wine. You know, it's like. It's fucking crazy. It's a weird. It's a weird thing. It's skin talked out. So. So delicious. Sometimes it tastes like a foot. Yep. This one tasted like if white wine was a cigar. Okay, go with me. It was really good. It was really nice. Okay. People are like, ew. And it's like, wait till you're in your 30s.

[Amanda]

You're gonna want your wine to taste like a cigar. Wow, that voice is good.

[Shane]

We need another scam caller to call for real diabetes.

[Tommy]

What do you mean?

[Shane]

What?

[Amanda]

This voice is so good.

[Shane]

Me, when I'm at Tashi Station in Star Wars.

[Amanda]

This voice is so good.

[Shane]

That was crazy. You sounded like you work for Jabba.

[Amanda]

The Hut or at the dmv. Like, the woman comes out at the end.

[Tommy]

Did you bring your id?

[Shane]

Jesus.

[Amanda]

So good.

[Shane]

You sound like. You sound like you're part of a J punk song. Make it. Okay.

[Tommy]

I'm losing a little bit. Anyway, so good. I poured. I had. I guess this was the second. The third day. So maybe the recommendation is the third day, because you can kind of get away with the second day. I poured, and it was at the bottom. It was the bottom. And I've had this wine before. It has a picture of a woman who looks like Natalie Portman on it, and I continuously find it. Cause I'm like, oh, there's Natalie Portman again. I guess I'LL get the shit. Cigar wine, of course. Anyway, poured it out thick, like it was like top to bottom, like opaque, fully brown pieces. I was like, oh, you can't put that in your body. Yeah, you can't do that.

[Amanda]

It does that. Orange wine does that.

[Tommy]

I don't know why. If there's not a little bit of sediment, I'm not drinking it because then I know it's going to taste like.

[Amanda]

Yummy light out by the beach.

[Shane]

You want messed up.

[Amanda]

I wanted to taste like this.

[Tommy]

And that's it.

[Shane]

Okay. Similarly, I've been doing this a little bit this year. My recommendation, we have a lot of, like long shoot days here. Smash. Right. Sometimes I get sleepy in the second half of the day, but I've noticed something that I feel like fixes it for me. And maybe it's placebo. If I eat an orange.

[Tommy]

Orange. Orange.

[Shane]

If I eat an orange in the early afternoon, I have energy.

[Tommy]

It's incredible.

[Shane]

I don't know.

[Amanda]

Vitamin C, maybe it's just.

[Shane]

Maybe it's just the sugars in it. I don't know. But I swear by the orange.

[Tommy]

Clean, natural sugar.

[Shane]

And I just love an orange.

[Tommy]

Delicious Orange.

[Shane]

Love an orange.

[Amanda]

Orange.

[Tommy]

Do you eat it cold or do you eat at room temperature?

[Shane]

Good question. Tommy, put your oranges in the fridge.

[Amanda]

Delicious.

[Shane]

Oh, I don't do that. But that makes sense because it's like cold orange juice in it.

[Amanda]

Apples in my fridge. I put my apples in the fridge, too.

[Shane]

I do not put my apples in the fridge.

[Tommy]

I just don't put my bananas in the fridge.

[Shane]

Can't turn brown. Do they turn brown in the fridge?

[Tommy]

Yes. Yes.

[Shane]

Oh. Oh, yeah. I would think it'd be the opposite.

[Amanda]

And if you freeze it, you have to peel it.

[Tommy]

What?

[Amanda]

Bananas.

[Shane]

Why do you have to freeze it? Or why do you have to peel it?

[Tommy]

So it lasts longer. No, why do you have to peel it?

[Amanda]

You want to take out a banana that's frozen with a peel on it. How you gonna get that peel off?

[Shane]

Well, you let it thaw.

[Tommy]

But then why then what's the point?

[Amanda]

You use. Exactly.

[Tommy]

You want it for a smoothie.

[Shane]

Oh, see, No, I. Thank you. I let bananas get really brown and with the peel on, I put them in the freezer so that I take them out, I let them thaw, and I make banana bread. I just saved them.

[Amanda]

When's the last time you did that?

[Shane]

Probably like a year or so ago. I make banana bread a lot. It's the easiest thing to make.

[Amanda]

It is the easiest thing.

[Tommy]

It's Been a year.

[Shane]

Not a lot this past year. But I was making it a lot ass off.

[Amanda]

Like, before that.

[Shane]

I was making it all. All the time. Shane is loud all the time. Oh, here we go.

[Tommy]

Okay.

[Shane]

By the way, Tommy, we got to get you on board with this. We are going to get Reba on Smosh this year. Yes. And then also we want to do a Reba Moose Master.

[Amanda]

Yes.

[Tommy]

Oh, my God, that'd be incredible.

[Amanda]

Different versions of Reba.

[Tommy]

That's great.

[Shane]

At different eras. Reba. I meant for Reba. So, yeah, we're. But we got.

[Tommy]

It's.

[Shane]

I think it's going to be a big group effort to get Reba on Smosh. Reba. Reba.

[Tommy]

Reba.

[Shane]

Anyways, wow.

[Tommy]

Orange, orange, orange.

[Amanda]

Wine.

[Tommy]

Quickly.

[Amanda]

Muslin cotton hair towels.

[Tommy]

There you go. And those are your recommendations for today's episode.

[Shane]

Those are the recommendations for today.

[Amanda]

That's a fun little section.

[Shane]

I like recommendations.

[Amanda]

Really like that.

[Tommy]

It's just whatever.

[Shane]

That's a great.

[Tommy]

Whatever's working.

[Amanda]

So, so nice. So niche.

[Tommy]

So nice.

[Shane]

So nice.

[Tommy]

So nice.

[Shane]

Very nice.

[Amanda]

Very nice.

[Shane]

No, here's this new segment where we just say very nice over and over.

[Amanda]

Very nice.

[Shane]

Okay. Oh, I have a really dumb one. This is a one time segment.

[Amanda]

Okay.

[Shane]

And maybe we could do it with different guests and stuff where we just switch seats for like a minute and we just see if the vibes are different.

[Tommy]

Okay.

[Amanda]

Okay.

[Tommy]

I've never. I've always wanted to sit over here.

[Shane]

I've always wanted to sit there, too. So let's switch. Let's do one and then. And then.

[Tommy]

Because I sat here, let's.

[Shane]

Let's move counterclockwise.

[Tommy]

Okay.

[Shane]

One. And then. See the vibes? See, I've been here before and these vibes are good.

[Tommy]

Okay. Something's different with you over here.

[Shane]

How do you feel over there?

[Amanda]

I'm just kidding.

[Shane]

Whoa.

[Tommy]

New burp perch. I've never.

[Shane]

I've never been sitting here with you there.

[Amanda]

I don't actually know if I like this.

[Tommy]

You don't close to each other.

[Amanda]

It's trippy.

[Shane]

We've never done this.

[Amanda]

I feel like I just swam at the bottom of the pool and I popped up at a place that I didn't like. I popped up in the deep end with a bunch of people talking and I'm like, oh, sorry. I thought my friends were here.

[Tommy]

It's like when you're like. You're like seven and you're like, look, look, I'll do something underwater and you like go to like, flip upside down underwater and Then you come up and you're like, oh, I'm. It's just I'm elsewhere. Where's your mom?

[Shane]

What happened to you? Wait, what?

[Tommy]

Wait, what's going on?

[Amanda]

I don't even know.

[Shane]

Wait, what?

[Tommy]

Amanda's crying. Amanda's crying.

[Amanda]

The idea of a woman floating in the pool going into the. Where's your mom? I'm going.

[Tommy]

Oh, my God.

[Amanda]

Going, where's your mom?

[Shane]

Where's your mom?

[Amanda]

Where's your mom, kid?

[Tommy]

As she's crying and she's crying, actually crying.

[Amanda]

Oh, my God. You know. You know. You know when you have a vision in your head and people go, yeah. And then they add onto it. That got me. Man, this is a good spot.

[Shane]

It's a great spot.

[Amanda]

I feel more chill here.

[Tommy]

Cause you're sobbing.

[Amanda]

I'm having more fun here.

[Shane]

People think I laugh a lot. It's just where I'm sitting.

[Amanda]

Oh, thanks, James.

[Tommy]

I'll take one, too, just to blow my nose, though. Thank you.

[Amanda]

Where's your mom?

[Shane]

Where's your mom?

[Amanda]

You guys, I really needed that. Thank you.

[Tommy]

Of course. I slept really dry last night, so my throat is ready to do that.

[Shane]

Slept really dry. Yeah.

[Tommy]

Because I'll sleep with my mouth open. Some people snore. I sleep with my mouth open. Yeah. Is that bad? People say that's bad.

[Amanda]

And I'm like, spiders can get in there.

[Tommy]

They want to go in. Let them in.

[Shane]

Spiders get in there.

[Amanda]

Spiders get in there. Oh, my God. I'm so happy.

[Tommy]

I'm glad you're happy.

[Shane]

Do we want to swap one more?

[Tommy]

Let's do it.

[Shane]

Because I've never sat here. I've literally never sat here. Whoa. Oh, interesting.

[Amanda]

I've actually sat here.

[Tommy]

You have.

[Shane]

You have sat there once and I. I've sat there before.

[Tommy]

A little dewy under this eye.

[Amanda]

I'm Dewey.

[Shane]

Okay. This spot's pretty cool.

[Tommy]

Yeah.

[Shane]

You have a. You just are looking at Scott the whole time.

[Amanda]

Oh, my God. And I love it. I don't know if he loves it, but I love it.

[Shane]

Okay.

[Amanda]

I'm like, Scott, when he agrees with.

[Shane]

Something, he's like, you're mid conversation with the person here. But you're just like, yeah, I fully agree.

[Amanda]

I look at Scott a lot.

[Shane]

For sure.

[Amanda]

Yeah. And I know when the vibes are good, when Scott's doing that, but when he's not doing that, it's like, ooh.

[Tommy]

We gotta move on. So I'm realizing this chair is the focused chair, because my attention's here, and there's. It's just wall. Whereas, like, if you're here, your attention's split between the two and you have everybody out there.

[Amanda]

This is a tough chair.

[Tommy]

But then when you're over there, it's just this person and Scott.

[Amanda]

Yes.

[Tommy]

Yeah, but this is the focus and a little bit of spot. This is like when we talk and.

[Amanda]

And a little bit of Selena is this. Is this chair hard to look at the guest?

[Shane]

I don't necessarily think so. I think the guest is perfectly split. You got died.

[Amanda]

That was. That was so needed. Like I needed that.

[Amanda]

Is brought to you by Zocdoc. Never have I ever put off an annual checkup. A dentist, cleaning, or any doctor's appointments. Oh, come on.

[Tommy]

Wow.

[Shane]

Lose. Look, I tend to take vitamins and supplements and just hope for the best. And just say I'm totally fine.

[Shane]

Okay, being real for a moment. I actually do love Zocdoc. I've had it downloaded for years. I was doing what I said earlier and just saying it was totally fine. Just playing things off, delaying doctor's appointments for a long time till I had that app. And then I immediately had doctor's appointments set up. And I've been feeling great ever since.

[Amanda]

I can tell. You look better. Okay, stop putting off those doctor's appointments and go to Zocdoc.com smoshmouth to find and instantly book a doctor that you love today. That's Zocdoc.com smart smoshmouth zocdoc.com smoshmouth thanks, Zocdoc, for sponsoring this message.

[Shane]

An alley oop from James.

[Amanda]

Stop this nonsense.

[Shane]

Back to the show.

[Amanda]

Ow, my foot.

[Shane]

Good.

[Amanda]

Oh, wow.

[Tommy]

I needed a cry last night, and it came to me. And this is a very sweet thing, actually, it's just like, okay, here's my segment. Tommy says a sweet thing. Love that. There was just a TikTok that I saw. It was a Native American woman in a natural history museum cultural installation, and she was singing a song from her beautiful. Her culture, her tribe or whatever. And it was so impactful that I just started weeping. And then I was like, humanity.

[Amanda]

You've been weeping.

[Tommy]

I've been weeping. I've been very connected lately with my grateful for the lives we lead and connections with people.

[Shane]

You've been in your weeping era.

[Tommy]

I'm in my weeping, and I love. But in my, like, beauty. Beauty. Like, in my life.

[Shane]

Am I like, oh, I primarily cry in, like, positive ways. Yes. I don't cry when things are really sad. I cry when things are happy.

[Amanda]

Oh, not me. I cry for a lot of it.

[Tommy]

Yeah, for a lot of it.

[Amanda]

I cry for a lot of it. Like, I cry when things are really. I will. I'm going to admit something here. I cried in the strangest way. I got a full night of sleep.

[Tommy]

Good.

[Amanda]

When I was at work, I missed my son completely. I didn't see him when I woke up, and I didn't see him when I got home. So I was really sad. So the next morning, I got a full night of sleep. I was holding my son and h made crepes, and I took one bite of the crepe while holding my son and I sobbed, sobbed, sobbed, talked, sobbed. Nutella, sobbed, talked. I was like, it's so good. It tastes so good. And it was like, oh, my God. This is that moment. This is that moment where people go, parenting is hard. I'm like, oh, no. This is that moment. This is where it's at.

[Tommy]

Like, Childbirth. I'll do it again and again.

[Amanda]

Literally. Literally. It's like that famous picture of that mom who's holding her crying son and she's sitting on the toilet, and there's another son holding her, holding her leg in that picture.

[Shane]

Is that. Is that a picture of painting?

[Amanda]

I don't know.

[Shane]

I know what you're talking about, though.

[Amanda]

But I was like, yep. But I was crying in toy.

[Tommy]

Of course. Because you're like, oh, my God. I have my son. I have this breakfast, and everything's really working out.

[Amanda]

Tasting a crepe in that moment just solidified it.

[Tommy]

It just launched it.

[Amanda]

Anyways, where's your mom?

[Shane]

Where's your mom? Should we swap back?

[Tommy]

Let's do it.

[Amanda]

This is a fun place to be. Yeah. Yeah.

[Tommy]

You're right in the middle.

[Shane]

I'm really happy for our guest.

[Tommy]

I have the most energy in this chair. 100%.

[Amanda]

Really? What do you think about my chair?

[Tommy]

It's good.

[Amanda]

Oh. So, yeah. Yeah. I think it's Shane's chair that has, like, the energy in my chair.

[Shane]

I think I just bring those vibes.

[Amanda]

My chair's just fine. It's professional, I guess.

[Tommy]

I think it's professional. It's grounding. It's a grounding force.

[Amanda]

Yeah.

[Shane]

Yeah. I feel very professional.

[Amanda]

You shut down when you sat in it. You kind of were fine when you sat in it.

[Tommy]

It was kind of fine.

[Shane]

Fun, I feel like. Yeah.

[Amanda]

Okay.

[Tommy]

Okay.

[Amanda]

I'm gonna have to change some things.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Tommy]

Okay.

[Amanda]

Yeah, I'm gonna have to bring some new energy.

[Tommy]

Okay.

[Amanda]

I'm gonna have to chill out.

[Tommy]

Yeah. Switch it up a bit.

[Amanda]

Yeah, I'm gonna be chill. I'm gonna be relaxed. No filter.

[Shane]

For sure. For sure. Yeah.

[Tommy]

Let's go back.

[Amanda]

Okay, okay, okay, okay, I'm back. I'm back in my chair.

[Tommy]

Okay. I have a segment.

[Shane]

And we're back.

[Tommy]

Or actually, you haven't done one yet.

[Shane]

And we're back.

[Amanda]

I don't have one.

[Shane]

Do you not have any? I'm kidding. I know you have sud koopies because we talked about it before.

[Amanda]

I have. No, you go.

[Tommy]

Okay. I think it would be fun to answer one of the questions that make.

[Shane]

You fall in love with people every episode. We do. That's like 50. There's like, 50, right?

[Tommy]

From Women's Health magazine. There's like, 50 questions.

[Amanda]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Shane]

So if we start doing that, that's. We could do one every week for a whole year.

[Amanda]

You said make someone fall in love with you, huh?

[Shane]

Yeah. Or to make, determine. Or to determine Oh, I love that.

[Tommy]

I'm picking one. I'm picking one. I'm picking one.

[Shane]

Where's your bomb?

[Tommy]

I was gonna do. I was gonna get it.

[Shane]

Like, where's your mom, kid?

[Amanda]

Where's your mom?

[Shane]

She's got a cigarette. Literally, she burns. She burns it out on the floaty. It deflates. She sings.

[Tommy]

If a crystal ball could tell you the truth about yourself, your life, the future, or anything else, what would you want to know?

[Amanda]

So if a crystal ball. Thank you, Elda. Ina. I don't know what your name is. You're welcome.

[Tommy]

It's getting worse. If a crystal ball could tell you the truth about yourself, your life, the future, or anything else, why would you.

[Shane]

Want to know her name is Ina? Because she's in a pool right now.

[Amanda]

It is your seat. Your seat's fun.

[Tommy]

Lame.

[Amanda]

God, mine's so serious. I'm like, segments.

[Shane]

Sorry, sorry. What is it? What is it?

[Tommy]

If a crystal ball could tell you the truth about yourself, your life, the future, or anything else, what would you want to know?

[Amanda]

Not the future. I do not want to know.

[Tommy]

I don't want to know the future.

[Shane]

I don't want to know the future either. My life, my life, my life.

[Amanda]

I'm scared to go to a psychic for that reason. Like, I don't want them to tell me something that I don't want to know. I guess my life.

[Tommy]

I don't know. Okay.

[Shane]

I feel like psychics have said, like, oh, I don't want to. We don't predict the future because it is kind of like.

[Tommy]

I think it's a vibe.

[Shane]

It's not.

[Amanda]

It's a vibe thing.

[Shane]

It's not set.

[Tommy]

I think I would want to know, like, where to put my energy. Yes, I would like. I would like a. Like a light guide of, like, I think, you know, you should keep. Oh, it's like, oh, maybe focus on a pilot. You know, like, kind of give me, like, a nudge and a direction that'll, you know, and that could just, like, teach me something. Or it could be. It gets created, you know, Like, I'd love a little, like, ooh, bowling ball. Keep writing that thing.

[Shane]

Yeah, I know this is impossible because it is all subjective and it's all our own feelings and whatever. But, like, you know, in. In video games, where it's like, something will. Highlight of like, oh, this is the recommended thing to do, right? And I'm like, man, that'd be so nice to have in life. Of like, oh, well, this is. This is the path you're walking around.

[Amanda]

It just pops up. Recommend.

[Shane]

Like things just kind of light up and it's like, oh, go that direction. And I'm like, give me that once.

[Amanda]

It's called intuition, Shane.

[Tommy]

Yeah, intuition.

[Amanda]

It's called intuition. It's called where's your mom?

[Tommy]

I think people hate those voice, honestly.

[Amanda]

Where's your mom? That whole thing is going to be my.

[Shane]

That one. That lady's my new favorite character. Where's your mama?

[Amanda]

Because she cares about the well being of the kid, but she's also really enjoying her time smoking a cigarette in a public pool. And she's got like a frilly bathing suit on. Oh, for sure. She's a cigar woman. But she's a cute frilly bathing suit.

[Tommy]

Like short choppy hair that's got a blonde highlight.

[Shane]

What's that I'm picturing. What's that cartoon? That newspaper cartoon of the old lady with the sunglasses.

[Tommy]

Oh, oh, no. The old lady who's like.

[Shane]

It's like a famous cartoon.

[Tommy]

Like birthday cards. Yeah.

[Shane]

She's always a little sassy. That is. That is to a T. Maxine. Maxine, Maxine. That is to a T. What my grandma was like. That was her vibes just kind of like. And she had that like short.

[Tommy]

Is that where you get your aunt care or.

[Shane]

There's definitely some vibes there. She was very, like, sarcastic, very funny. And just a lot of just like, all right.

[Amanda]

I always wanted that.

[Shane]

Very popular. I feel like the imagery is everywhere.

[Amanda]

In the funnies and the funnies. Oh, do you guys remember? Is this crazy? Oh, my God. This is me showing my age when you had to call or look in the newspaper for Movie Theater times. Do you guys remember that we're to like call and like hear the movie theater times? Yes. Yeah. Thanks, Selena.

[Tommy]

Yes, I do.

[Amanda]

Oh, my God. This seat.

[Shane]

I do remember that seat is old. I.

[Amanda]

And lame. The seat is crusty and dusty. I'm changing it up. I'm gonna cut my hair like this old woman.

[Tommy]

We're gonna get you a frilly baby.

[Shane]

I do remember that. That was right around the time of like Watergate and stuff. It was crazy. Anyways, I hate you.

[Amanda]

Fuck you.

[Tommy]

Yeah, I remember that.

[Amanda]

Fuck you in that seat.

[Tommy]

I remember that too. I was like swimming around with my 500 brothers in my dad's balls.

[Shane]

500.

[Tommy]

He's got a good count.

[Shane]

You're a miracle.

[Amanda]

You guys keep me in the seat. That's actually what's happening. It's not me, it's you guys.

[Tommy]

You guys.

[Shane]

Okay. I love that I have a big I have a big one. Let's just do it now, and then we can go back to smaller ones. So I have this show. I have a show that I pitched to Kiana years ago.

[Tommy]

Okay.

[Shane]

That we would do on Smosh Pit. Now, this is a very rough idea, and the idea is for it to just be, like, fun conversation with a little bit of a game to it, and it is called hot take roulette. Okay, now we got this roulette wheel. Now, this goes to 12. Ideally, it would go to 10. Now, I think also there'd be two roulette wheels. There'd be a roulette wheel that has a bunch of categories on it, and then there'd be a roulette wheel that has the numbers. And one being the absolute coldest, ice cold. 10 being the hottest. Now, this goes to 12. So 11 and 12 are crazy. How do you go beyond?

[Tommy]

So. So am I presented with a thing that I have to then make a hot.

[Shane]

What it would be is one person would be the judge in this. In this given scenario, one person is the judge, and they pick a category. They spin the wheel, it lands on a number, and the other two people, they don't have to believe in the hot take, but they have to give a take that is equivalent to that heat level.

[Amanda]

Got it.

[Shane]

And the judge then determines who won, who got closer to the number. It's not a matter of agreeing with the take or liking the take or whatever. It's Is that take.

[Amanda]

It's like wavelength in that sense.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Tommy]

Okay, so it's not like pineapple on pizza is the category. It's just like, food is the category. And then we both have to try.

[Shane]

And make it better and determine how specific you want to get. You could say pineapples is my category. Give me a hot take about pineapple.

[Amanda]

On pizza is, like, the best thing in the world. What number would that be?

[Shane]

That I don't.

[Tommy]

Well, the way you said it would be.

[Shane]

It would be what I. It would be how hot. I think that it's great too. All right, let's.

[Amanda]

Let's.

[Shane]

Let's take a broad category. Let's say music.

[Tommy]

Okay.

[Shane]

Music. And we land on a one. Okay, who wants to go first?

[Tommy]

My hot take in music.

[Amanda]

I don't think I'm gonna be good at this.

[Shane]

Give me a one. What is a one take? What is the coldest possible take on music? Tommy?

[Tommy]

Coldest.

[Shane]

It is a one. So as cold as it gets.

[Tommy]

Ready, guys? Get ready.

[Shane]

Okay, here we go.

[Tommy]

I think Beyonce is a talented vocalist okay.

[Amanda]

That's really nice.

[Shane]

Beyonce is a talented vocalist.

[Amanda]

Amanda, most people like pop music.

[Shane]

Oh.

[Amanda]

Oh, shoot. I'm not winning.

[Shane]

That's not a one. No, I think I'm going to give it to Amanda because most pop popular music.

[Amanda]

Okay.

[Shane]

It's in the popular music that that's the most. Because I think. I don't know who, but I think there. I would believe more people out there would potentially.

[Amanda]

Yeah, right.

[Tommy]

Disagree with the best vocalist in current history. But yes, yes.

[Shane]

Both of those very good one takes. Does anyone want to spin and give a category?

[Tommy]

The category is clothing.

[Shane]

Clothing. What are we going to get?

[Tommy]

We don't want to get gnosis in the middle, by the way.

[Amanda]

Oh, that's so spooky.

[Tommy]

Okay, three.

[Shane]

We're getting low takes. Okay. Okay.

[Amanda]

Jeans go with everything.

[Shane]

Whoa, you think that's a three?

[Tommy]

Oy.

[Shane]

Okay. Okay.

[Tommy]

All right.

[Shane]

Okay.

[Amanda]

I'm having fun in this chair.

[Tommy]

What are you wearing right now? Not jeans.

[Amanda]

I'm not wearing jeans.

[Shane]

Whoa.

[Amanda]

Because I'm different. This is a three. This is like a chill take.

[Tommy]

I think it's a chill take. I think it's a chill take.

[Amanda]

Do you think it's more of, like, a one?

[Tommy]

No, I think that's actually more of a hot take than a chill take.

[Amanda]

Really?

[Tommy]

Because I know people. Well, I feel like the tides have turned and people don't like jeans anymore. I'm wearing jeans. I'm like, big pants.

[Amanda]

Jeans can be big pants.

[Shane]

Jeans. Okay.

[Tommy]

And what do you got?

[Shane]

Okay, I'm gonna go with. You should fold your knitwear. You shouldn't hang it. You should fold it.

[Amanda]

You should fold your knitwear.

[Shane]

Well, rest on these two and say.

[Tommy]

I think knitwear wins. Unfortunately, that's a three. I feel like. I feel like jeans is more of a.

[Shane]

That's a pretty bold statement.

[Amanda]

Fine.

[Shane]

I learned. I heard. I heard that about knitwear, and I realized it's true because whenever I would hang it, I'd have those. It would get the bumps on my shoulders.

[Tommy]

Yeah, yeah. Because it's too heavy.

[Shane]

Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Pick a category.

[Tommy]

Pick a category.

[Shane]

And we need to get some. Some hotter takes up.

[Tommy]

Yeah, let's.

[Amanda]

Alcohol. Alcohol, alcohol.

[Shane]

Let's spin it again.

[Amanda]

What did you. What? Hey, this is what happened. This wheel. A9.

[Shane]

A9.

[Tommy]

Alcohol.

[Shane]

Okay. And once again, I.

[Amanda]

Alcohol.

[Shane]

I want to be clear with hot take roulette. It's not about. You do not have to believe the take.

[Amanda]

Right.

[Shane]

You are just saying something that is of that caliber. A nine. Hot take. Okay.

[Tommy]

I think classic cocktails should not have twists on them. And I don't mean twists like a lemon twist. I think classic cocktails should stay classic, their classic form.

[Amanda]

Wow. Okay. Okay, That's a. That's a good one.

[Tommy]

Guess what? I don't believe that for a sec.

[Amanda]

I know. I love a twist.

[Tommy]

That's just my.

[Amanda]

I love. But I can respect.

[Shane]

But I like this. I like this.

[Tommy]

That's my take.

[Amanda]

That's your take?

[Tommy]

My take.

[Amanda]

That's your take.

[Shane]

That take is going to trigger people. Okay. A9. I'm going to say tequila is the liquor for people who don't like alcohol. Hey, I don't believe it. I don't believe it. But is that a 9 out of a 10?

[Amanda]

Like tequila shots, People taking tequila shots.

[Shane]

I just think. I think tequila is the go to for people who don't actually like.

[Tommy]

That's like saying being launched out of a cannon is for people who, like, land.

[Amanda]

Yeah.

[Tommy]

Fucking crazy.

[Shane]

Or people who like. Who don't enjoy, like, they don't like the taste of it.

[Amanda]

It is the most intense liquor there is. That's what's crazy. It's just like if you didn't like alcohol, it's a hot take. Be taking shots of vodka because it tastes like. No, I. Yeah, well.

[Tommy]

Well, I mean, hey, it's. It's different tastes.

[Amanda]

I will say that that's interesting.

[Shane]

I feel like tequila is the go to. It's like, oh, you don't. You never drink. You don't like, like drinking liquor, so you go with tequila.

[Amanda]

That's so interesting. Because I love alcohol, but I don't like tequila.

[Tommy]

I have started to not do tequila unless it's in an espresso martini. Wow, that's wild. If you get the golden. The golden tequilas have more of a vanilla flavor and actually pairs really well into an espresso martini. But I spent so many years in my mid-20s thinking that I knew how to pace myself really well. And then, like, near the end of the night, I'd be like, let's do a tequila shot. And then I'd be sleeping on the.

[Amanda]

Floor of my bathroom, dead.

[Tommy]

And it was always the tequila shot at the end of the night.

[Amanda]

Yeah, I hate tequila shots. I actually don't like shots.

[Shane]

I don't. I don't do shots.

[Tommy]

You know what will help? Shake it. I mean, you. I know you've made your decision.

[Amanda]

I just said I don't.

[Tommy]

But if you shake the tequila shot, it'll help anyway. Who.

[Shane]

Now it's a 9 out of 10. If you think mine is beyond 12.

[Tommy]

11 and 12 are extra.

[Shane]

11 and 12 are just insane.

[Amanda]

I don't know.

[Shane]

Actually, there's no wrong answer. You're picking what you think is more accurate to that. If you think I went past a nine or not quite there, I'm gonna.

[Amanda]

Go with Tommy because I actually think you went past a nine. That's like a really.

[Shane]

Okay.

[Amanda]

And that's hot.

[Shane]

That's the game. That's the game.

[Amanda]

So I'm going with Tommy.

[Tommy]

Hey, I'm sorry.

[Shane]

That is the game.

[Tommy]

Sorry, sorry.

[Shane]

That is the game.

[Amanda]

This.

[Tommy]

Okay, I think we'll know. You start.

[Shane]

Oh, yes, yes.

[Tommy]

But before we do that, I must say this story. And I'm like, maybe if I say it on the podcast, we'll make it get made. And it needs to be a one off. And it needs to be maybe not on YouTube because it would lose monetization, but a game that Kiana and I wanted to pitch ages ago was try not to nut. And what it was was there was two screenshots of a porn, but before it gets becomes a porn, when it's just like, hi, I'm. Oh, you're my brother. Welcome. You know, and it's just like a screenshot of like the acting part and then like a Hallmark movie or like, you know, a student film or something. And so you have to choose which one isn't the porn based on the screenshot. And if you pick a porn, you get pelted with walnuts. This was back in the punishment era. This is back in the punishment era.

[Amanda]

I think you're gonna know which one's the porn. I think that they use a different camera filter.

[Tommy]

It's a creamy one. Okay. Anyway, try not to. Obviously that didn't get made. And instead Kiana said, what if we read Reddit stories? And here we are.

[Amanda]

And here we are.

[Tommy]

So those, they were on the same plane at one point.

[Shane]

Okay, okay, I'm going to. I'll keep it broad still. I'm going to say movies.

[Tommy]

Okay, Movies.

[Shane]

Give me a good one. I want Like a seven.

[Tommy]

That was crazy.

[Shane]

Got a seven.

[Tommy]

That was crazy. What the heck?

[Shane]

Seven's hard. Seven out of. Let's do seven out of ten.

[Tommy]

Okay.

[Shane]

Seven out of ten on movies. So not too hot, but getting there hot. Not boiling lava hot. This is where it's hard. How do you nail down a seven hot take on movies? I almost think the more specific the category gets, the easier it is to come up with.

[Tommy]

Yeah, the broad is a little challenging.

[Shane]

Yeah. Movies. Do you want to. Do you want to say movies from this past year? Hot takes on movies.

[Tommy]

Movies from this past year.

[Shane]

I'm throwing out 20 just to help you narrow it down.

[Amanda]

Paul Thomas Anderson is the best director ever.

[Shane]

Oh, okay. Okay.

[Tommy]

And I'll say one battle after another.

[Shane]

But I'm just saying, movie's amazing.

[Tommy]

And I'll say Alien Romulus was just the best alien movie.

[Amanda]

Oh, my God.

[Shane]

Okay, I. Tommy, that was too far. I think I gotta give it to Amanda. I think that's a hot take. That's a very.

[Amanda]

Do you agree with that?

[Shane]

No. I really liked Alien Romulus. I say it was the best alien movie.

[Tommy]

Yeah, that came out of my mouth. It was a little too crazy.

[Shane]

That's a nine.

[Amanda]

Sure was spooky.

[Shane]

I loved it.

[Tommy]

Yeah. I really got barfy with that. Yeah, I was like. I was like, oh, you know, that was a real guy.

[Amanda]

No, I know. He's. He's.

[Tommy]

He basketball.

[Amanda]

He basketball.

[Shane]

He baskets. Did you know he basketballs and he basketballs. In that outfit?

[Tommy]

Yeah. In the white.

[Shane]

Dressed as that alien.

[Amanda]

Wearing anything.

[Tommy]

Yeah.

[Amanda]

Ish.

[Tommy]

Yeah.

[Amanda]

I. Gorgeous, gorgeous, beautiful.

[Tommy]

Get that man on a Runway.

[Amanda]

Oh, my God. No, seriously.

[Tommy]

Well, okay, here we go.

[Amanda]

So I won.

[Shane]

You won that.

[Tommy]

You won that.

[Shane]

Good job.

[Tommy]

Okay, I can't do that one. My category is, let's say.

[Amanda]

You, you, you.

[Tommy]

YouTube. YouTubers.

[Shane]

YouTubers.

[Amanda]

No, no.

[Tommy]

Okay. I'm just kidding.

[Amanda]

You can do it.

[Tommy]

I can. I was gonna say Harambe, and that's why I laughed. And I was like, we're not doing takes on Harambe because he's right there. That's just because I look at him and he can see you. So. Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.

[Shane]

Animals.

[Tommy]

Okay. Okay. Here's your category. Gross animals.

[Shane]

Gross animals.

[Amanda]

Fun.

[Tommy]

Your take on gross animals. We got an eight.

[Shane]

We got an eight.

[Tommy]

Gross animals.

[Shane]

Okay.

[Tommy]

However you want to make that happen.

[Shane]

I have a. I have a. I have a take.

[Tommy]

Okay.

[Shane]

I. Millipedes are cute. They are not gross. They are cute. And I believe that one. I've always thought millipedes Are cute.

[Amanda]

Shot down.

[Shane]

They're just, I don't know. Centipedes. Gross. Millipedes, Cute.

[Tommy]

Remind me the difference.

[Shane]

Millipedes are the ones. They're the kind of like, they're a little bit rounder. They're like. They can be big and long, but they're very round. They do not have, like, antennae, really. Like, they're. They're like, here, I'll pull up a millipede. I think millipedes are cute. So they're kind of like those guys.

[Tommy]

The ones that look more like worms.

[Shane]

They're, like, a little bit wormy.

[Tommy]

Centipedes are, like, flattened out and they're going to call their legs.

[Amanda]

I think that's what was on Traders.

[Tommy]

And centipedes are like that. Yeah. Centipedes deserve to die.

[Shane]

Millipedes have tiny little legs.

[Tommy]

Yes. And they're going like.

[Shane]

And they're like.

[Tommy]

Yeah.

[Shane]

And I looked at centipedes. Terrifying. Millipedes, Cute. Millipedes are cute.

[Amanda]

I really don't know.

[Tommy]

An 8 out of 10.

[Shane]

Like, if we had a millipede here, I'd be so excited. Be like.

[Tommy]

You could reference the first conversation we had on this podcast today.

[Shane]

You do not have to believe it, but. You don't have to believe it.

[Tommy]

But I think you can.

[Shane]

Gross animals. Think about them. Think about gross animals. We brought it back.

[Tommy]

When Amanda's thinking, she does little air kisses. Hmm.

[Amanda]

This is really hard to think about.

[Shane]

I love just, like, thinking things that we do. It reminds me of that interview of Ethan Slater where they ask him some question and he goes like, ah. And he does. He does, like, a weird smile thing off to the side.

[Tommy]

It's like, to fill time with your face.

[Amanda]

Oh, I'm struggling with this. I don't really like.

[Shane]

No.

[Tommy]

All right, Shane wins. No.

[Amanda]

Hey, hey, hold on. Cockroaches are the best insect to eat.

[Shane]

Okay, that's. She went. She went.

[Tommy]

I feel like that's. I feel like that's a little too far.

[Amanda]

Yeah, that's a little too far. I really. I really couldn't. I really couldn't. I think I was so taken back.

[Shane]

Okay.

[Amanda]

I want to go specific.

[Tommy]

Okay.

[Amanda]

The Rock.

[Tommy]

Dwayne.

[Shane]

Dwayne Rock Johnson. Yep.

[Tommy]

Okay, spin.

[Shane]

Okay.

[Amanda]

A seven Again, different number.

[Shane]

It's up to you.

[Tommy]

I feel like we should either do a ten or a five or something like that.

[Amanda]

Ten or five.

[Shane]

Okay.

[Amanda]

Ten or five.

[Shane]

Oh.

[Amanda]

Dwayne, the Rock Johnson is your category.

[Shane]

Okay, here we go. I'm thinking of one that you specifically will think is. Is really fun. Okay. I Think this is a hot take, But I think, Amanda, you might even agree with it. The Scorpion King is the Rock's best movie. Name a better movie. What movie?

[Tommy]

He's bringing 10. He's bringing 10.

[Shane]

Okay, Moana.

[Amanda]

Okay, fine.

[Shane]

The leading. The Scorpion King is the Rock's best leading role.

[Tommy]

Like, okay, here's my take on the rock. Here's my 10 take on the rock. Not buff enough.

[Amanda]

That's pretty buff enough. He's really buff.

[Tommy]

Not enough.

[Amanda]

He's big.

[Tommy]

Hey, here's my 10 out of 10 take.

[Shane]

Nah, he's down. He's dialed it back a little bit recently.

[Tommy]

He has.

[Shane]

He's dialing it back.

[Tommy]

But this was.

[Amanda]

But my.

[Tommy]

My standpoint is before the dial back.

[Shane]

You'Re talking about at his peak.

[Amanda]

At his peak, the Scorpion King is a really, really good hot take, though.

[Tommy]

That's true. How do you feel about the cgi?

[Shane]

No, that's the Mummy Returns. I'm talking about that Scorpion King.

[Tommy]

The Mummy Returns.

[Amanda]

No, but the Scorpion King has tons of cgi. Yes, it's when he literally turns into all the Scorpions.

[Tommy]

Yeah, but he's showed up as the Scorpion King in the Mummy, and the.

[Amanda]

CGI was really bad, and his head was. Was. That was crazy.

[Shane]

Yeah, I'm talking about the Scorpion King.

[Amanda]

Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I think I'm gonna have to go with Shane on this one. I'm so sorry, Tommy.

[Tommy]

Win.

[Shane]

I love the Scorpion King, though. That movie's awesome.

[Tommy]

I won one. Yeah.

[Shane]

He won one.

[Tommy]

I won one.

[Shane]

He won one.

[Tommy]

I won one.

[Amanda]

Scorpion King.

[Shane]

Yeah. And that's this game. Are you hoping to do one more?

[Tommy]

I'm gonna change the game really quick.

[Shane]

Let's do it.

[Tommy]

I'm gonna spin. I'm gonna spin the wheel, and you have to make the sound or sentence of that number. Love. Who that number would be. Love, love, love, love, love. Oh.

[Amanda]

Oh, my gosh.

[Tommy]

A six. Sound or sentence?

[Amanda]

Hi, guys. I'm just here hanging out, and I want to sit on your lap.

[Tommy]

Okay.

[Shane]

Hey, so I've got a pitch for you guys, and I think you're gonna want to hear it. All right, so. God, I've got my Tesla parked out there. It's mine. I own it. It is? Well, it's a lease, but can I.

[Amanda]

Come sit in your Tesla?

[Tommy]

I'm allergic to tulips, so if there's gonna be tulips at the wedding, I'm not gonna be able to bake it.

[Amanda]

Yes. That's how I feel.

[Shane]

Because they're sick.

[Tommy]

Cause they're sick.

[Amanda]

Well, they're middle of the road. They're like the middle. They're like, not so much a wet blanket. They're fine. Right.

[Tommy]

There's just something a little.

[Amanda]

There's something. I actually really love that game. Remember, we. When we played he's in Q's.

[Tommy]

I love hoes and coos.

[Amanda]

I love using cues with us. Of course I play where we did the character stuff, though.

[Shane]

I think I was that one.

[Amanda]

Yeah.

[Shane]

Yeah. It's very fun. I love. Also in challenge pit, when we do the. The game where you have a number.

[Amanda]

Yes.

[Shane]

And you're giving categories, you've got to, like, match that. I got the most stressed I've ever been. I don't think this has aired yet. Or maybe it has right around the time. If not, it's airing soon. Where we got the number four. Me and Arasha got the number four, and Chance was sitting in the seat in front of us. And for four. For the number four, he goes, pop stars or pop divas? And I was like, oh. I was like, what do I say to that? I'm like, I'm gonna piss off everybody no matter what. Because.

[Amanda]

What did you end up saying?

[Shane]

I ended up saying Addison Rae, just because I'm like, what's the, like, public opinion of, like, I'm like, you know, I know she had an album this year or this past year that people did really like. I. I don't have much skin in the game, but I'm like, what do I say? Like, what popped you?

[Amanda]

I have no idea. What would you say?

[Shane]

I've thought about it more. I would say MILEY Cyrus circa 2012, when she was doing the, like, crazy.

[Tommy]

Goofy, goofy, goofy, goofy. Beetlejuice.

[Amanda]

Beetlejuice.

[Shane]

Miley Cyrus, I think is there.

[Amanda]

I think it's pretty good.

[Shane]

I think since then, she. She's now far beyond a four, but in that era, four, because it's not like, okay, you're. You're not like, a complete joke. You are talented.

[Amanda]

Right.

[Shane]

But what. What are you doing? You're figuring it out. But I. I felt bad. I was like, currently, I don't know who I say, yeah, that's hard. Yeah, it's really hard.

[Tommy]

I don't know who I would say.

[Amanda]

I don't know.

[Tommy]

It's too challenging. I also don't want to insult anybody's stuff.

[Shane]

Exactly, Exactly.

[Amanda]

It's. You don't want to mess with that.

[Shane]

Courtney and I have played it just one on one, and my favorite category we've ever picked is. You get a number. The category is Tom and Jerry sounds.

[Amanda]

I don't think I know them enough.

[Shane]

So you just. It's just like cartoons and like. Well, so, like, I think. I think I had. I think I had. I think I had a 9, and it was just like. It was like. I forget. This is a. This is more of a dizzy. But it was like cartoon noises.

[Tommy]

Right, right.

[Shane]

And I got a nine. I did the, like. It's like. Yeah, that's a nine.

[Amanda]

That's pretty good.

[Tommy]

The goofy. The goofy. All right. Can we do it Gorge? Can we do it really quick?

[Shane]

Do what?

[Tommy]

The nut. That. What you just said.

[Shane]

Oh, yeah. We need to find a way to pick a number.

[Amanda]

Oh, how crazy.

[Tommy]

What?

[Shane]

Holy. Okay, so. So you guys have to get the number, and I. I.

[Amanda]

This is Tom and Jerry sounds.

[Shane]

Do cartoon sounds.

[Tommy]

Cartoon sounds.

[Shane]

I'm not gonna look.

[Tommy]

Okay, we see the number. We see the number. Okay, the number.

[Shane]

All right, go for it.

[Tommy]

Business.

[Shane]

Okay, go for it.

[Tommy]

Okay, we're making the number. Okay. Okay, here it is.

[Shane]

That's a good one, Amanda. Oh.

[Tommy]

It'S gonna be okay.

[Shane]

I'm not.

[Tommy]

It's gonna be okay. It's gonna be okay.

[Shane]

I'm. Maybe I'm biased. Tommy. I really like that sound, but I don't think it's going to be like the top of the, like, top of sounds. It's because. Very small, very subtle. I'm picking up. I'm going to go with a. I'll go with a five.

[Amanda]

What about what I did?

[Shane]

I don't know what you did. I completely disregarded what you did.

[Amanda]

What I did. That was an exasperated big dog.

[Shane]

Okay, I'll go with the five. Or I'm gonna go with six.

[Tommy]

No.

[Amanda]

Okay, let's do two.

[Shane]

Oh, see, I love. I. I love that, though. Picking up something that. I love that sound. It's a good sound.

[Amanda]

A really good sound. You did it.

[Tommy]

All right.

[Shane]

Okay. Okay.

[Amanda]

You didn't see it.

[Tommy]

No.

[Shane]

This is. I'm try. I'm gonna try to do this.

[Tommy]

Okay. And your take?

[Amanda]

I'm gonna pack up my stuff. I think my car is outside. I'm gonna head up my lift.

[Tommy]

Before you go. Before you go. They wait for five minutes after you call them. Can you tell me what that was supposed to be?

[Amanda]

I don't know. I won't. I can't recreate. I don't know what I did. I blacked out.

[Tommy]

Okay.

[Amanda]

I think. What did I do?

[Tommy]

Right? I'm going to say six or seven. There's an eight.

[Shane]

It was a 12. I was that.

[Tommy]

Those Numbers were.

[Shane]

Yeah, but if he'd said a 10, we would have counted that. I was trying to do Tom from Tom and Jerry.

[Tommy]

Like, when he, like, gets launched.

[Shane]

When he gets launched or when he yells or like, a hammer hits his hand or something, I'm like, that's the big. That's the big thing.

[Amanda]

It's been a long time since I've watched cartoons, so I don't think that this is fair.

[Shane]

Have you not watched Tom and Jerry? Tom and Jerry's.

[Amanda]

I watched Tom and Jerry, but a long time ago when I was a.

[Shane]

Child, my grandpa was watching Tom and Jerry up until the end, and he was laughing his ass off.

[Tommy]

That's awesome.

[Amanda]

We weren't really allowed to watch a.

[Shane]

Lot of cartoons because it's violent.

[Amanda]

I don't know. My dad just. Your dad was scared of anti brain rot.

[Shane]

Brain rot?

[Amanda]

Yeah, my dad. We weren't allowed to watch.

[Shane]

You need to show your dad actual brain rot.

[Amanda]

We weren't allowed to watch Ren and see Stimpy.

[Shane]

You need to show.

[Tommy]

That makes sense.

[Shane]

Can you please show your dad actual brain rot? Like, pull up tik Tok and be like, this is Italian brain rot.

[Amanda]

And he would probably love it. Yeah, that's the issue.

[Shane]

Probably. He's probably hooked on it already.

[Tommy]

Can I give you a little bone to chew on so there's a positive thing you can participate in? Can you tell me about this beautiful red ring on your hand?

[Amanda]

Yeah, this is my wedding ring.

[Tommy]

This is your wedding ring? Yeah. It's gorgeous.

[Shane]

It is really cool. That's got to be one of the most unique wedding rings.

[Amanda]

This is my wedding ring. And then we designed this wedding band together. It has. It has braided wheat on it, which back in the day, like, a traditional way, braided wheat would mean, like, oh, you work really hard together to, like, create, like, the harvest. But in Belarus, you throw seeds, and it just grows wild. So it's kind of like a hilarious thing about marriage. It's just like. It's really, really hard, or you just. You give it a little bit of love, and then it just goes.

[Shane]

Yeah, I love the combo, too, because your wedding ring is all red, and then you're the ring you have on the other finger. Turquoise.

[Amanda]

Yeah.

[Shane]

So you got blue and blue and red. So if you ever get mugged, you'd be like. Be like, bam. Fire ice or back.

[Amanda]

The red pillar. The red pillar.

[Tommy]

Oh.

[Shane]

Do a little Matrix action, Adam.

[Amanda]

Yeah, Matrix.

[Shane]

Pretty cool.

[Amanda]

I was gonna say that in one of the categories that Matrix is, Matrix is the best movie Ever.

[Tommy]

That's the movie ever.

[Shane]

Matric.

[Amanda]

I have. Help me.

[Tommy]

I love the Matrix.

[Shane]

Selena has a segment for us Amanda.

[Amanda]

Might be good at.

[Shane]

Okay. Selena has a segment. That's tough. That's got to be tough.

[Amanda]

Selena has a segment that I might be good at.

[Shane]

We pitched this.

[Amanda]

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

[Shane]

So you would read. You would read articles from people.com or from any news like, oh, Selena's gonna read it. Reading. Reading headlines from people.com. and we have to guess the celebrity.

[Amanda]

Yes, I forgot that we came up with that the other day. Okay, so Blank confirms she has a new title after husband David was knighted.

[Shane]

Oh, well, that's. Oh, wait. After husband David was knighted.

[Amanda]

What? David is knighted sir.

[Shane]

Well, Sir David.

[Tommy]

Sir David.

[Shane]

Sir David.

[Amanda]

No, I know, but who. Which David Bowie. He's passed away.

[Shane]

Okay, is this. Is this. I'm going to go with, who's a celebrity who's married to someone who got knighted?

[Amanda]

I have no idea.

[Tommy]

So you're supposed to.

[Shane]

Do we know this person? Do we know this person?

[Amanda]

Both of them are famous. This is the one I supposed to be good at. I will say David from the uk David.

[Shane]

Well, that's a given.

[Amanda]

David.

[Shane]

They don't. They don't knight Americans until me.

[Amanda]

Natasha Bedingfield. David. That's not his name.

[Tommy]

Yeah, so we're gonna say Natasha Bedingfield.

[Amanda]

They're not married. They're siblings.

[Tommy]

I hope they didn't learn that on this podcast.

[Amanda]

Soccer.

[Tommy]

That'd be a hell of a soccer.

[Shane]

Oh, Beckham. Posh Spice.

[Amanda]

Her name is Victoria Beckham. Wait, what about it? So she confirmed that she has a new title after David was knighted. David was knighted For. For. I mean, I like him a lot.

[Shane]

For what? For kicking ass.

[Tommy]

For kicking bulls.

[Amanda]

You guys mentioned him earlier. Blank reveals how he met his wife Lori, after firing her friend Lori. I'm supposed to be good at this.

[Tommy]

The only Lori I know is Shark Tank Lori. She's beautiful.

[Amanda]

Guys, after firing my day.

[Shane]

It is not my day. This is hard.

[Amanda]

Wait, Flavortown.

[Shane]

Guy Fieri.

[Amanda]

Yeah.

[Tommy]

Guy Fieri just busted his kneecap wide open. You hear about this?

[Amanda]

No. Why is this making me laugh?

[Tommy]

How he slipped down the stairs or something while filming and his knee fucking blew up.

[Shane]

Oh.

[Tommy]

And he's like, fuck. He's like, damn, he's okay. It's just like his leg fucking bopped.

[Shane]

It's crazy. I hope he rests up so he can get back to that barbecue.

[Tommy]

I know.

[Amanda]

Fuck.

[Tommy]

He's like, he needs to get back to flavor.

[Amanda]

He's like, shoot, shoot.

[Tommy]

No, I. I truly wish Guy Fieri the best recovery.

[Shane]

Oh, I love that guy.

[Tommy]

I love that guy.

[Shane]

I love that Guy Fieri. Amanda, how are you doing?

[Amanda]

Not well. Guys, Guys, I'm done. I'm done.

[Shane]

I think we can put this episode to rest. I think we've done it is the last year.

[Amanda]

But now I know that I need to get better at cartoon cartoons.

[Shane]

You. Well, look, Amanda.

[Amanda]

I'm not gonna remember Amanda's last hour.

[Shane]

In like a year or so. I feel like you're gonna be watching a lot of cartoons.

[Amanda]

I'm not gonna remember this. Guide. Guide.

[Tommy]

Guys.

[Amanda]

You guys are lucky that I showed up today. Like, you guys have no idea. I am running on negative 100. I am shocked. I'm here. I do not remember anything. We just talked about. Whatever.

[Shane]

You guys.

[Amanda]

I remember switching seats. That's what I remember. I think 2025 is literally this character.

All right, we gotta get abandoned. Tommy, thank you.

[Tommy]

Thank you.

[Shane]

And thank you for watching. We'll see you later. Bye.

[Amanda]

See you guys later. Thanks for coming.
