[Shane]

Office party podcast. Smosh was my first plane ride.

[Anthony]

What?

[Ian]

You flew with Smosh?

[Shane]

No. On Smosh Air. No, it was back in 2009. They reached out to me to be in one of their sketches, and I was so nervous because they were in Sacramento and I was in la, and I'd never been on a plane before, so it was probably, what, 2009. I was probably, like, 19 or something, and I was just like. But I wanted to do it, so I said, okay. But I never. I was so scared. Never been on a plane in my whole life. My mom and Jared dropped me off at the airport. I was, like, scared. They're just like, you'll be okay. She prayed over me and then, yeah, got on the plane. So plane sick. Realized that's not fun. Like, oh, my God.

[Ian]

That's the most embarrassing. Most embarrassing way to throw up is be stuck next to someone and throwing up next to them.

[Shane]

My problem is I don't. My body doesn't throw up normally, so I feel like the. I get really carsick. But then I feel like the throw up soaks into my body and turns into diarrhea later.

[Ian]

Oh, interesting.

[Anthony]

Always manifest his diarrhea.

[Shane]

But here's where the story gets worse. I land right. I am so sick. I feel like I'm dying. I'm, like, so nauseous. Full of diarrhea. Get off the plane. There's Smosh. Hey. I was like, hey, guys. And then they were like, okay, well, we're gonna get in the car. It's at three. Three hour trip, babes. Cause, like, they live. Maybe it was like, two hours, but it was, you know, we were filming in, like, the middle of the mountains because it was like a camping skit or something. So I'm like, okay. So I'm trying to be cool, and they're like, yeah. So now I'm in the back seat

[Ian]

in the middle now, going up some mountain roads.

[Shane]

Oh, after a plane. My first plane ride. I mean, the diarrhea was gathering, so now we're like, there's no bathrooms in sight. My stomach is doing that, like, diarrhea thing where it's like. So I' like, stars, you know, I'm starstruck. I'm seeing, like, here's what. Here's my. What I'm seeing. Or no, no, what I'm seeing is Ian. He's driving. Next to him is his girlfriend at the time, who was like, I loved her. I'm now sitting. I feel, by the way, like a whale. Even though at the time I probably Was thin, but, like, you know how my body's morpheus, so I'm a big fucking whale in between. Anthony Padilla, who's like America's heartthrob.

[Ian]

You're in the middle.

[Shane]

Why don't you smosh? So, like, he's sitting next to me, just full heartthrob, you know, the tight jeans, the long hair, the swoop. And I'm just. I. I feel like I'm sitting next to, like, the hot version of me, and I'm just this whale filled with diarrhea, swooshing around in the back seat. I want to. Just gurgling away, gurgling away. And on my right side is like, their assistant or something, if I remember right. So I'm just, like, dying. I'm sweating because the diarrhea. I'm, like, sweating, sweaty. And then Anthony just keeps going, like, are you okay? Just like, that's the worst. I'm fine. And he's just. And I was like, about an hour in, I was like, can I be honest? I get a little car sick, so maybe we should pull over. Oh, you have to throw up. And I'm like, in a way.

[Ian]

In a way.

[Shane]

In a way.

[Anthony]

Out my ass.

[Shane]

Puking out of my ass, really. So then Anthony pulls out. I think it was Dramamine. I'd never tried it before.

[Ian]

And.

[Shane]

And what a world changer. He pops one, I pop one. We're in the back popping Dramamine.

[Ian]

Popping Dramame.

[Anthony]

Why do you stay a victim now, then? If you know that exists? He'd be staying.

[Ian]

Why do you stay a victim? It's a crazy thing to do.

[Anthony]

Staying emotion sickness victim. When he knows Dramamine exists.

[Shane]

You're not supposed to take it, like, all the time, I don't think.

[Ian]

And also, it doesn't like. It's not like Gammaine. I'm fixed. It's like, it takes a minute to work.

[Shane]

It takes, like, 30 minutes. So. So, like, by the. After 30 minutes.

[Anthony]

So 30 minutes before we get along.

[Shane]

So then we get to the mountains, and they had. It was like this nice house in the middle of mountains. I don't know if they rented it or. I don't remember what the situation was, but yeah, so then it was like, now I'm living with them for a weekend. I mean, this was my first time meeting them.

[Ian]

That's wild.

[Shane]

And they're smosh right. Like, it was so scary and exciting, and I was just like, oh, my God, like, meeting them for the first time, like, living with them. And then we filmed the sketch, and that Was another scary thing. That was the first time I had ever been in someone else's thing where, like, it wasn't my, you know, high up camera angle with like a ring light or something.

[Anthony]

That you were editing. Yeah.

[Shane]

And now. So then I got like, I saw a glimpse of, you know, and at the time I was wearing a girdle because I had all the loose skin. So don't look at. Oh, my God, are you going to cry?

[Anthony]

I just feel bad. Overcoming so much to travel, to be in a video in the mountains with Smosh Sacrament.

[Shane]

Worth it really was. We should react to it. It's been a while. I don't know if they still have it up.

[Anthony]

I mean, when we react to that, we could also react to my audition for Smosh.

[Shane]

That. Yes, please. This podcast didn't get it. Where's that?

[Ian]

It's for, like, the new version where they have like a crew.

[Anthony]

I had no idea what it was. And my agent got me an audition for. They were like, to be like a new.

[Ian]

They have. Yeah, because they don't do. They don't do most of it now.

[Anthony]

They hold auditions like they would for, like an acting role. Because they're all like, sketch comedy actors, right?

[Ian]

Yeah.

[Anthony]

So before I got my job at Clever, Clever was owned by the same company as them. Sorry, I'm derailing your story.

[Shane]

Don't keep going.

[Anthony]

So Clever was owned by the same company. So I submitted an audition tape to Smosh. Didn't get that.

[Shane]

That.

[Anthony]

But jokes on them. I ended up working in the same building as a full time employee at Clever.

[Ian]

The joke is on them.

[Shane]

Hilarious joke.

[Anthony]

Really hilarious. No, I was. Yeah. I have no business doing sketch comedy.

[Shane]

Wig.

[Ian]

That wig says something.

[Anthony]

But if I'm requested to do something, most times I'll try. So you're in the mountains with my girdle. With your.

[Shane]

Thanks for bringing me back. Yeah. And you could see. So, like, I wore my. I've talked about this so many times, but sorry if you guys are bored, but I wore my mom's swimsuit as a girdle to keep the skin in check.

[Anthony]

Was it a one piece?

[Shane]

It was a one piece. Okay, once again, I'll explain.

[Ian]

If it was a bikini, that wouldn't really make much sense.

[Shane]

It was a one piece for the top, but then the bottom wasn't really cinching much, so I would wear her underwear. She had like, shapewear underwear. Sorry, mom. Shout out. I would hoist that up to keep my stomach skin intact, but I would cut the crotch so that my balls Would hang out.

[Anthony]

So if you would have got pants,

[Shane]

oh, my God, it would have been a vision. Oh, my. It looked like the bodies exhibit. It was crazy.

[Anthony]

Big old balls hanging around women's panties.

[Ian]

I think they were panting people on set.

[Anthony]

I mean, that's a very small to just get painted.

[Shane]

I don't think so. I feel like jackass. It's like, yeah, they wouldn't have not have done that. So, okay, so I'm wearing that, right? But like, they put me in a T shirt, which was scary anyways, because, like, when you're like, if you've ever seen old episodes of Drake and Josh, don't look for this because that's his nightmare as well as it is mine. But like, if you're wearing a girdle for loose skin, which I think he used to as well, if you wear a T shirt, you can see the girdle. So, like, I would always wear a hoodie or something, like, whatever. So, like. And when I met Josh Peck, I brought this up because I was like, I knew that we were connected because I. When I saw you, I knew you were wearing a girdle like me. And he was just like, oh, my God, Yes, Girdle brothers. Anyways, our girdle hood, that's pretty good. So, yeah, so I'm in a T shirt, and then I'm. I'm like, oh, how's it looking? They're like, oh, it's so funny. And then I like, see a moment of it on, like the monitor and I just had a full mental breakdown inside because I can, number one, see the girdle. Number two, I look huge because, like, oh, my God. And now people are going to see me looking huge like that. So then now I'm in my head. So I haven't actually ever watched the video. I don't think maybe I saw like a moment of it. I, like, promoted it and stuff, but it was too scary for me because I felt so fat and ugly in it and the girdle situation. So, yeah, and then I remember there was comments just being like, wow, Shane's big. I was like, oh, my God. So that is crazy. I'm sure looking back, I was probably not, but, you know, brains. So, yeah, that was a interesting situation.

[Ian]

That was your first flight.

[Shane]

First flight. First. First flight, first collab, first time meeting a big YouTuber all rolled in.

[Ian]

That is crazy. That is like, that would be super diarrhea.

[Shane]

Like, crazy in their cabin, literally.

[Ian]

That's a rough place to do it too.

[Shane]

Diarrhea. Like, crazy but also, like, getting out of a body girdle to diarrhea like crazy.

[Anthony]

Well, first you have to pull those balls back through the slit and then pull the girdle down. The visual of that is gonna hop.

[Shane]

I definitely already told the story, so I'm so sorry if you've already heard it.

[Anthony]

Where.

[Shane]

But there was girdle drama. I told this, right? Have I not told this?

[Anthony]

I don't remember.

[Shane]

So my girdle, it was a two piece, right? The swimsuit and then the balls thing, Right? So. So when we got back to the cabin, I always would take my girdle off at night to go to sleep because it would hurt my shoulders. Cause it, like, is pulling so much tension.

[Anthony]

And then one of the boys wants to come in and have a kiki. Not it. When I'm out of my girdle, please covers. It's like the Real Housewives when they, like, don't want to be seen without makeup. He's like, not without my girdle.

[Shane]

Oh, my God. Yeah. So I, like, I take off the girdle and I put on, like, you know, a big old hoodie. And like, you know, whatever. Just. Just in case I catch one of the boys in the kitchen at. I don't want them to see, but I forgot my girdle in the bathroom on the floor.

[Anthony]

Oh, no.

[Shane]

So now it's not just a girdle, but it's a sweaty, stinky girdle. Okay, okay, so. And it's on the floor. I didn't know that. So then, okay, so we're kikiing. We're like playing Yahtzee or something. I'm in my big hoodie, my titties are shaking. I'm just like yahtzee. Like, having the time of my life. We go on a night walk, and I'm like. And they're like, oh, should we go on a walk? And I was just like, yeah, the pitch black.

[Ian]

Hell, yeah. I can't see nothing.

[Shane]

So. So that was great. We come back the next morning, I wake up and, oh, okay, time to get my girdle. Where's my girdle? I can't find my girdle. Can't find either piece.

[Anthony]

No. It's like hanging over the back, panicking.

[Shane]

No. So then I walk into the kitchen. I'm like, oh, my God. And then one of them comes up to me. He's like, oh, my God. Like, you know, don't. I forgot exactly how it happened. But they were basically like, we think we found. It's so funny.
