Episode Tone, Style & Format

The tone is unapologetically silly, chaotic, and honest — classic Shane Dawson Podcast. The group’s rapport swings from raucous laughter and friendly roasting to moments of heartfelt empathy and genuine creepiness, especially during “Conspiracy Corner” and haunted amusement park stories. The humor is often self-deprecating, very queer, and full of in-jokes and wild tangents.

For Those Who Haven’t Listened

You’ll learn:

• Why your favorite candy might taste different
• The conspiracy theories linking amusement parks, carnivals, and cults (with a bonus on haunted UK theme parks!)
• How much awkward hilarity can emerge from secret-task improv games
• What it’s like to be embarrassingly honest with your closest friends in front of a massive internet audience

And you’ll get plenty of weird, true, and not-quite-true personal tales along the way!

TL;DR

Candy is changing and it’s not just you; aliens might be the next big government distraction; carnivals are even creepier than you remember; and everyone has at least one secret, whether it’s a hidden lube bottle or a staged cry on a podcast. The Shane Dawson Podcast keeps the stories coming, the laughter rolling, and the conspiracies spinning.

Transcript

[A]

Guys, sometimes I will say something and I will get that look, and people will be like, that's a reach. I don't know about that, but I was right. Allegedly. Let's just take a look at this news clip. Yes. Yes. Hey, what's up, you guys? Welcome back to whatever the hell this is. We're melting edition. Holy. It is so hot. I'm so sad. I'm so angry. On the way over here, I was like, wow, this day couldn't get any fucking worse. I've had a rough morning.

[B]

I'm sorry.

[A]

And then I just felt sweat drip down from my face, and it somehow went all the way down to my ass and then to my feet. And I was just like, oh, here we go. And Rylan goes, I love it.

[C]

Well, I said, I didn't know that he was dealing with so much. And then I said, at least it's nice outside. He was like, I thought, this is my dream come true. We were all just talking about how, like, people bitch about winter. And I was like, no. I said, California is too much winter for me.

[B]

I was like, 50 degrees at the tropical.

[C]

Too cold. Too cold and too much rain.

[D]

We're in a historical drought, but, yeah, too much rain.

[C]

I actually take your drought somewhere else.

[E]

I don't think we are out now officially. So I think they gradually.

[A]

And why?

[D]

Because there's just too much damn rain. Right, exactly.

[C]

You know, I have PTSD about when it rains. Something goes wrong with the house, our house. So it's just like.

[E]

Like, both your bedro. Like, that kind of thing when it rains.

[C]

It's kind of like what Chris is dealing with, which is not fun. Yeah.

[E]

First it was the mold they took out the walls, and then that was supposed to be it, but then it rained, and it flooded both the bedrooms. Now they have to rip out the floors, and it just keeps going forever.

[A]

Are you at least documenting it?

[C]

No, he's not. Which is.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I'm just saying, we all were looking

[C]

at him today, and he's like, I don't know what to film your apartment situation.

[F]

I think we all came up with at least, like, five.

[D]

I would kill for some mold in our house right now.

[F]

Okay.

[C]

Careful what you ask for.

[D]

I'm just kidding, but sure.

[B]

I mean.

[F]

I mean, we are possibly going to be living in our trailer, so there might be mold in there.

[A]

Okay, wait, let me. Okay, first of all, we have so much to talk about. Let me explain. We. Oh, my God. Get ready. But what I will say is, no, I am not having a bad Day. Sometimes you wake up and you're in a good mood, and then the universe is, like, throwing your curve balls and trying to ruin your life, and you're like, what's happening? But that just means a good thing is coming. And, guys, that this show is our good thing. All the power goes up. I mean, I woke up. It was like I had multiple videos copywritten. It was just, like a constant. Like, I was just trying to get here, and things just kept happening like that, and I was like, what is going on? But now I'm excited. I'm with my girls. I'm ready to go, and we have a very special game planned that we're gonna start right fucking now.

[C]

Guys, this is not even a hello to anyone.

[A]

Not even a hello.

[C]

Okay, well, I had a great morning.

[A]

What? What?

[B]

That's what we do on this podcast.

[A]

We are about the secret task. I have texted everybody in this room a secret task, and your job is to do it throughout the show with no one noticing. That's right. We've played this a little bit before where we had everybody have a secret word that they were trying to get, you know, throughout the show. No, no, no.

[B]

Sitting on a secret.

[A]

Sitting on a secret. Yes. So everybody here has a very different, unique task that is gonna be really hard to do in a group of people without getting caught. If you get caught, you lose. But you. If you don't, throughout the whole show, you win. Ooh.

[C]

What would be nice right now?

[F]

Oh, it's so hot.

[C]

Maybe it's a Dairy Queen blizzard. Oh, we're in different universes.

[A]

I don't know which ones you guys are going to know about, but right now, we're just going to kind of go around the room. Everybody's going to think about their task, and on screen, we're going to have it show what their task is.

[D]

Oh, Nana, you read that, right?

[A]

Okay. How was your morning?

[C]

Oh, delightful.

[A]

Was it really?

[C]

I mean, I had a good morning. Yeah?

[A]

What'd you do?

[C]

People are sick of me talking about my new adventure, so I don't need to go into it.

[A]

Oh, I think you should talk about it. Well, actually, I think you should talk about it and maybe show it.

[C]

No, I mean, I don't know if I'm allowed to. I had another audition this morning that we do. There is something I'm really wrong for. Like, really, really, really wrong for.

[B]

You hear that, producer?

[A]

And I fe. I felt.

[C]

No, no, listen. If they want to go in a different direction, I'm right here. But I am not with the breakdown calls for. It is an undercover detective playing a sports coach at a high school.

[B]

Yeah, okay.

[F]

Minus the 45, but I can totally.

[C]

And I was like, this is definitely going to, like, a Chris Pratt type. Like, somebody that is, like a bigger, more masculine, like, funny, loving, goofy dude. I'm like. I couldn't be more opposite. I'm like an angry gay man.

[B]

Wait, can you do a little, like, team talk right now to the team?

[C]

Spencer?

[A]

He has to describe basketball in this scene, and that was crazy.

[B]

He's googling. What does a basketball look?

[C]

I got it. And I was like, I might need to, like, redefine what I'm comfortable going out for. But then it's like, challenging myself is good because it's definitely outside of my wheelhouse. So it's like. I don't know. I went and got coaching for it, put it on tape and sent it, and was like, here you go.

[E]

I mean, if it makes you feel any better, there are times in the past where I would. Because I would audition for anything back in the day when I was, like, really trying to be an actress, and there was a time where, like, there was a Russian part, like, in a. Like, a mobster, and I was like, oh, I have no business auditioning for this. And, like, when I showed up to the audition, everyone looked polar opposite for me. Like, everyone looked like the type except for me.

[B]

Not Peruvian. Not Peruvian. Yeah.

[E]

And I was like, I. I literally. I was like, I should get my car and leave. I shouldn't be here. But I went in, I did it, and I ended up getting the part. So there are times. There are times you think you're completely

[A]

wrong and you can still.

[C]

And that's why I was like, you got that.

[A]

You got the part. But it's a part of a Russian.

[E]

Yeah, it was like an angry Russian mobster.

[C]

Well, they probably just changed.

[A]

What? Did they change it or were you actually playing a Russian?

[D]

I was playing a Russian in the thing.

[B]

Oh, my God.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

I feel like times have changed. I can't do this. Sorry. That was my task. What?

[B]

You folded so easily.

[A]

I felt so bad looking at Chris. My task was to get offended by something and act really offended. And I did it, and now I feel bad. I'm so sorry. I'm proud of your acting journey.

[D]

I was thinking like, damn, you're pressing him pretty hard on him.

[F]

I did do it.

[A]

Wow. I couldn't do it. I'll think of it. I'll think of a new task. I'll think of a new task. Oh, my God. My heart was racing. I'm not. Why do I play these games?

[F]

Wait, so then are we supposed to tell when we do the task?

[D]

No,

[A]

I know.

[F]

Last time I was a little confused.

[A]

You're just a baby. I'm a baby. Okay. Sorry. I'm so proud of you. I can't wait to look it up.

[B]

We don't get a little taste of straight coach.

[A]

Give us a couple. Give us the basketball line. No.

[F]

Do it. Let's see.

[A]

Do it.

[C]

No. Out of. You guys don't understand. It's out of context.

[B]

We don't care about the line.

[F]

And it totally goes with your outfit with, like, the stars.

[C]

I wore this. It was a track. It said he's wearing a track suit.

[B]

And this is the only tracksuit,

[F]

only

[C]

drag suit I have.

[F]

Holding his Ralph Lauren coffee cup.

[C]

If you want a gay coach, I mean, I think like a tennis coach, maybe I could pull off.

[B]

There's, like, a cheerleading show on right now. Yes, that's good.

[C]

A cheerleading coach.

[A]

Fuck it up. Yes.

[C]

Yes.

[A]

Well, Jared and Sandy, what are you guys up to? What's happening? What's going on, girls?

[F]

Well, my day kind of started off a little rocky.

[A]

Oof.

[F]

Yeah. Well, Jared brought me a coffee while I was getting ready. He got me this, like, Trent Starbucks coffee. Well, I walked, or I. I went into the car to, like, sit in the car and put my cup in, and it, like, bumped into the steering wheel and it just went everywhere. I didn't even get a chance to, like, taste it. So.

[C]

So how'd you.

[A]

Caffeine.

[F]

So you guys, I'm caffeinated list you're raw dogging life. Yeah.

[C]

Crazy.

[D]

But other than that, I mean, really? Just filming?

[F]

Yeah, we've been filming.

[A]

Thrifting.

[C]

What is it? Bigdicks.com?

[D]

oh, dongcity.com. i've been taking a lot of meetings. Haven't met the right part for it just yet, but dongcity.com still huge. Definitely.

[F]

Yeah.

[C]

Stays huge.

[D]

Oh, yeah. I think I'm thinking about getting a billboard that says dongcity.com now. What you think?

[B]

Ooh, that's a good billboard.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Spencer revealed to us that he has a messy bedroom this morning.

[A]

What? Okay.

[B]

Rylan's exposing. Okay, well, Jared and Sandy have a messy garage. Whoa, dude.

[F]

Dude.

[D]

That's outside of the house, though. You know what I mean?

Wait, so why is your room so messy?

[C]

I don't know why I'm gonna drag you.

[A]

Like, this is a.

[B]

This is a. Oh, airdrop it.

[A]

Airdrop it.

[C]

I forget the context. He Was just saying, like, oh, and then I talk about their garage. Oh, their garage. And then I said, well, what happens when a girl comes over?

[A]

Are you showing me first?

[B]

I just want to see.

[D]

He wants to gauge the reaction.

[A]

Oh, my God. Okay, can I be honest? I was just trying to like.

[B]

Yeah, it's not jokey.

[A]

It's not that bad.

[C]

Let me see. No, it's messy. It's not like it's not that bad. It's not like it's dirty. Yes.

[B]

Ok.

[C]

There's a difference between dirty and messy. And it's just a mess.

[A]

It's dirty.

[B]

What? Like dirty's like there's old dishes and stuff.

[A]

Wait, should we bring back room raiders?

[C]

Oh, yes.

[A]

Do you remember that? Should we do that for Spencer's dating season?

[D]

He wasn't even alive for room raiders.

[A]

Let me explain what it is. Okay, so room raiders. So here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna have three potential girls for Spencer and they're all gonna be in a van outside of Spencer's house. And then Spencer's gonn van watching on a monitor. And each girl's gonna go in his room and investigate his room and make fun of it and try to learn about Spencer through his room. And then. Is that how it works?

[C]

That's my favorite thing.

[D]

That was room raiders.

[B]

They like decide if they want to date on the room.

[A]

Yeah, it's not really how it goes. I kind of it up. But the idea is there. But basically, yeah. Girls going through your room. What would they find?

[E]

That was a great show.

[D]

Like, what is one thing that you'd be like? Please don't find that.

[A]

You know what I mean?

[B]

Let me think about that one thing that I don't want anyone to know that I have. Let me say that right now.

[E]

Dildo collection, Spencer.

[B]

Oh, no, no. It's just one.

[D]

He collects it for historian purposes. Okay. He's just interested.

[A]

Yeah, it's like wooden and weird and it has like faces on it.

[E]

This is George washington.

[D]

He's like super. And you're like super passionate about it.

[A]

Like, okay, well, it's like really signed

[C]

but you've wood burned. Your favorite quote.

[B]

My favorite quote. No, there's no wooden dildo with faces on it in my room. I don't think there's any like one thing. It's just my stuff everywhere, I guess.

[A]

What did we do with our lube recently? Because I was just thinking, like, what's something in my room? I wouldn't want someone to see it. Like, we all have that drawer that you hide something in?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So, like, we. I don't think we hide our lube, but, you know, we put it in the drawer. Yeah, but we were at a hotel, but Ryland lost his mind.

[C]

I didn't lose my mind. I was just like, oh, God, that's embarrassing. Because I didn't know they did, like, a turn down.

[B]

Wait, what happened?

[D]

What happened?

[C]

The loop was just on the bed.

[B]

Oh, they, like, put it out and then.

[C]

No, they didn't know we left it on the bed and then they put it on the nightstand.

[E]

This literally just happened to me because of my living situation, because there's, like, you know, workers coming in and out and, like, tearing out walls and stuff all the.

[C]

All day, every day.

[E]

I keep trying to hide everything because we're living out of our living room. Normally, like, we're in our bedroom. I close the bedroom door and I don't worry about what's in there. So I'm not used to having to hide everything all the time. And similarly, I left lube out, like, right in the middle of the living room. And like, nine guys walk in and walk past it. Like, huge bottle of lube on the table. And I was like.

[A]

But was it at least like a classy bottle of lube or was it like a big old gun show shoving in my ass?

[E]

That one.

[A]

Oh, no. Wow. How did we get here?

[D]

It's a slippery situation we're in.

[A]

It is. Well, speaking of, I'm so happy you're okay because you've been having some medical emergencies. Yes. Yes.

[B]

I had strep. Once again, everybody. I get strep like, four times a year.

[A]

Don't you get it from kissing?

[B]

I did kiss someone.

[A]

I'm trying.

[B]

Yeah, I'm actually seeing her.

[C]

It says she gave the strap.

[B]

I don't think she gave it. I get strapped. I get it all the time. My tonsils are disgusting looking.

[A]

They look.

[B]

They're awful. I still have them. I need to get them out, but I just keep. Like everyone says, when you get your tonsils out as an adult, it's like the most painful recovery of all time. So I kind of just like, do I want to get strep every few months or this? I don't know.

[E]

More painful getting circumcised as an adult? Because I bet you not as painful.

[B]

I can't speak to that. I'll be honest.

[A]

Has anyone done their task yet?

[E]

I did one.

[A]

One you did.

[E]

I did one.

[A]

You didn't even catch it.

[C]

Mine seemed possible.

[B]

I've Been doing it here and there.

[A]

What about you guys?

[C]

I don't know. Did she just say good? I think he said, how about you, gu? She said good.

[B]

They look really guilty.

[D]

Was yours talking about being circumcised?

[E]

No.

[B]

Okay.

[D]

No, that one.

[E]

That one just happened.

[C]

It just happened.

[E]

No, not just happened.

[A]

Happened.

[E]

As an adult, though, it happened in real life.

[D]

Your task is to get circumcised on the podcast.

[E]

As an adult in high school, that is what happened.

[F]

Wait, you got circumcised in high school when he's 18?

[A]

Yeah.

[F]

That is so scary. Wait, what happened?

[A]

Horrible.

[E]

Oh, I won't go into the whole thing, but long story short, at my high school, like, everyone was circumcised.

[A]

Circumcised.

[E]

I was embarrassed by it. I told my dad. My dad was like, oh, Christopher. When I came here from Germany, a bunch of the women and my ex wife all preferred that I was circumcised as well. So I went to this guy in Chinatown. He's fantastic. Let me take you. And, like, it was a building that was falling apart. And, like, he injected me with numbing stuff that didn't work. He started cutting, and the numbing stuff hadn't worked yet. And I felt the worst pain I'd ever felt in my life. I thought I was gonna vomit and pass out at the same time. It was brutal. And then, like, the recovery was awful. And then, like, I couldn't. I'm so sorry. But I wasn't allowed to get hard for a while because when you get hard, it, like, will rip the stitches out. But, like, I was in high school and got, like, NRBs all the time. Like, no reason. Boners all the time.

[D]

Oh, I thought it was a pollo loco thing.

[A]

Oh, my God.

[B]

I know.

[A]

I love PRC boner.

[F]

I feel so bad that you had to do that. Oh, my God.

[E]

Brutal experience.

[D]

Are you crying? Is that your task?

[B]

You should have picked a different story. This is weird. This is weird. Is this it?

[F]

It's not weird.

[E]

How dare you? She's an empathetic human.

[D]

Well, because isn't the point of the game to be called out and then you lose?

[F]

I don't know what the point is.

[C]

And if you're able.

[B]

Sounds like that was your task. I'll be honest.

[C]

If you're able to cry on command like that, you need to start getting into Acting Class 2.

[F]

Honestly, I wasn't even that impressive.

[D]

We've been talking about it lately.

[F]

Yeah.

[D]

And I think I'm really feeling like a commercial actor. Possibly.

[A]

Yeah.

[F]

He literally told me, sandy, I think you should go into commercial acting. That's what you should do.

[D]

Well, her dream and aspiration at this point is to be the first Latina to win a. Oh, my gosh, I

[F]

cannot believe you just said that. That is so crazy.

[D]

Well, don't cry about it.

[B]

I do think yours is to cry. I'll be honest.

[A]

[C]

Wow.

[A]

What a trip to Atlantis.

[B]

It was beautiful.

[A]

But isn't that just to be going comfortable? Yeah.

[F]

Is that your thing?

[B]

No.

[F]

Yeah, it is.

[B]

Did you just play a fart sound on your phone? So you guys just play a fart sound on your phone and cry? No, no, no, no, no.

[D]

That wasn't it.

[F]

We are just such a mess over here.

[A]

Jeez. Well, you know what? I'm ready to do what I want some of that. Oh, this is my little. This is also not a brand dealer.

[C]

Yeah, I got it for you. I know.

[A]

Thank you, my little Diet Coke lips.

[C]

Does it taste like Diet Coke?

[A]

That'd be crazy if that was a brand deal.

[E]

That's so cute.

[A]

Looks like a little butt plug.

[E]

I will never understand the purpose of a butt plug. I've had so many people explain to me.

[B]

I still don't to plug your butt.

[D]

Is it just.

[C]

Why do you want to plug your butt?

[E]

I just felt like a dildo's for pleasure, right? A butt plug is what, like silence? Because it's not long enough to be like a pleasurable. It's not hitting your G spot. It's not like what is.

[A]

Maybe people like to feel full.

[C]

They just like it. I don't feel full while you're jacking off.

[A]

I don't.

[C]

I don't know.

[A]

I see reels every once in a while. I think it's because I'm on Spencer's like, wi fi here. But I'll just get a guy working out, being like, nobody even noticed. I have my butt plug in right now. Working out in the gym. And I'm like, what is this?

[C]

I don't know. Do straight guys use butt plugs?

[B]

I don't.

[C]

Seems like your own recommendations.

[B]

I mean, I'm not saying that's not something that would be on my reels.

[C]

Oh, you're on butt plug reel.

[B]

I sometimes like stuff because it's like, I like that someone thought they should post that. I like that they think like, yeah, people need to see this.

[D]

I will say I did throw out. Cause me and Spencer have been in talks about pop possibly starting an improv crew or a troop. Is that what we call a troop? And I did throw out the name butt plug. I thought that'd be a fun name. Sandy said it's horrible.

[A]

You guys.

[C]

You guys would be.

[D]

She said there's no marketability. Or we can just call it dongcity.com. i do happen to have the domain.

[B]

That's how. That's the best way.

[F]

Well, people have been leaving the comments. They're the D.C. gang.

[B]

The D.C. gang city gang. That's awesome.

[E]

Speaking of gangs, did anyone else try

[A]

to join one in high school?

[E]

Just me.

[A]

No.

[C]

Okay, you tried.

[A]

I tried.

[B]

They didn't let you in?

[F]

No, I wasn't in a gang, but I was in a band.

[B]

Oh, really?

[F]

Well, not really, but yes. We were called Final Warning.

[C]

This is another thing that we're all supposed to confess.

[B]

Are you lying?

[A]

No.

[B]

Are you gonna cry about this?

[F]

Probably later when I think about memories. But it was called Final Morning. It was gonna be an all girl band, like the Donnas. And my friend was gonna play the. She was gonna be a drummer, I was gonna play the guitar, and my other friend was gonna be the singer. We never actually did it, but we talked a lot about it and created late, like stickers and the whole thing.

[A]

Well, speaking of learning new things about each other, guys, let's play a couple rounds of Majority Rules. That's right. We're gonna be going through some most likely two statements. And then we're all gonna have to write down who we think is most likely to.

[C]

Can I get a marker?

[A]

And the majority wins. All right, let's play who is most likely to. To flirt their way out of trouble. Oh, this is hard. This is actually really hard. Okay, three, two, one. I'm gonna say me. Oh, my gosh.

[E]

I said I put Rylo with Jared.

[B]

Jared is the win.

[C]

It's the most, like, effortlessly, like, capable of bullshitting in, like, a high.

[F]

And he's just so friendly.

[A]

Yes.

[C]

And so, like, the cop would pull him over, and he'd be like, listen.

[E]

He'd flirt with a cop.

[A]

I would. No, wait, what?

[F]

Yeah, well, I mean, we did rent a car the other week, and he was flirting with the guy over the counter.

[D]

Sandy called to get the days extended.

[C]

Gay shit.

[D]

They wanted to charge her $80 a day when I called. $30 a day.

[F]

Whoa.

[B]

Bad at those eyelashes.

[D]

Thanks, baby boy.

[A]

He does have good eyelashes. Wait, hold on. Why did you guys say Rylan?

[E]

I thought Ryland. Because I've just, like, seen him in the wild. You're just very sweet with everyone. Like, very, very sweet. That's just naturally how you are, but it's so sweet that it's like, I don't know.

[B]

Marilyn's so sweet with everyone. Yeah, in the wild.

[E]

Yes. I feel like a lot of the

[A]

time, I was just thinking, like, flirt. You definitely did not flirt with me.

[C]

I'm not a flirter.

[A]

No, but you're a lover. All right, next. Most likely to have their Phone always at 2%. It.

[D]

Oh, jeez. I don't know who this is.

[B]

That's interesting.

[A]

That's an interesting.

[E]

Yeah, that might have swayed me.

[A]

Might have to jump on that one.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

Three, two, one.

[D]

It's Sandy.

[A]

Sandy. Come on, come on, come on. Wait. Yeah. What's it at?

[F]

It's at 19%.

[D]

That is so low.

[C]

Red. That is not red.

[F]

My phone will be at 2%, and I'll still just be like, that's.

[A]

Whoa.

[D]

Her phone dies a lot.

[F]

Yeah, it does.

[A]

A lot.

[D]

Every time she goes to Disneyland, like, halfway through, I get a text. Just so you know, my phone's on one person.

[B]

It's gonna die right now.

[F]

Yeah, I do. It's a bad habit. I need to.

[A]

Wow. I never always expected that.

[D]

Yeah, we probably spent $500 a year on phone chargers, and she's out and about and forgets to charge.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[A]

Wow. Okay. Who is most likely to send a text, panic, and immediately put their phone on airplane mode?

[F]

This is a tough one.

[C]

I feel like I'm on the traders writing somebody's name and, like, putting a heart by it.

[F]

I just love Rylan's confidence in everything. Yeah.

[A]

Make sure to spell it wrong.

[F]

I love it.

[E]

Okay.

[A]

Three, two, one. I put me. I almost fought you.

[B]

We're split. Fifty.

[A]

Fifty. Wait, really?

[D]

Yeah.

[F]

It was between Chris and Shane. For me.

[D]

Chris is my wild card on this

[C]

one because I didn't know Shane can't handle confrontation.

[A]

I can. It's getting worse as I get older. Like, really bad. I'm so afraid of making anybody mad or causing any sort of anything that I like. I will let someone step on my throat and I'll be like, oh, do you want to go harder?

[E]

Like, I relate.

[C]

I think is worse because then, like, if you can't tell people what you feel constantly, then you're yourself building resentment for, like, things people aren't meaning to do, but you're not correcting them.

[A]

Yes.

[C]

And then it's like you eventually, like. Like blow, but it's like, well, that person had no idea that you were quietly building resentment over small things.

[B]

I feel like I'm worse at it over, like, text. I would be a little nervous, but in person, I usually, like, if I flip that switch, I can get there pretty easily.

[E]

How do you flip the switch?

[B]

I guess if I'm pissed off.

[A]

Okay, who is most likely to talk to a stranger in a bathroom? I was chatty. The target. One. Three, two, one. Jared.

[D]

I said me.

[C]

I thought Jared would be a little too, like, obvious.

[A]

I feel like Jared would, like, fart really loud and be like, haha. And like, you know, talk about it.

[C]

See, I thought that might be a place you wouldn't want to be social.

[D]

I don't want to, but I'm open to it.

[C]

Oh, okay.

[A]

Why'd you put you, I don't know, talk in bathrooms?

[C]

I feel like if somebody wants to talk to me, I normally will talk to them. I made my best friend in a bathroom in elementary school.

[A]

So who.

[D]

What did me and Shane win because we.

[B]

Yeah, because I put you as well.

[A]

Yeah. Yeah. Yes.

[B]

So the three of us got a point.

[E]

We almost had him, Sandy.

[F]

Darn it.

[A]

Okay, who is most likely.

[E]

Oh, no.

[A]

Oh, my God. This is not on purpose. Oh, no. Who's most likely to start laughing and not be able to stop? That's okay. I didn't laugh because.

[D]

Oh, something comes to mind.

[A]

Oh, my God. Oh, no.

[B]

It's literally happening. It's happening in front of our eyes.

[C]

Okay, should we just skip it then? Okay, it's Shane.

[F]

Surprise, surprise.

[D]

We all get a point.

[C]

Did anyone have a different.

[A]

Can we talk about it?

[C]

Since it's been.

[D]

She already ran it.

[A]

Since it's been so long. Oh, my God.

[D]

She's just gotten over it.

[B]

I'm kidding.

[A]

I'm just kidding.

[F]

Like, yesterday.

[A]

This was a long time ago. So, like.

[C]

Oh, like a couple weeks ago.

[A]

No, okay.

[D]

This was last year.

[A]

This was really. It was really bad. So. Okay, we got to the true crime portion of the podcast.

[B]

Yeah, forget.

[A]

Oh, and listen, like, I am always super engaged in that segment. Like, I'm always like. Like there. Right. Sandy said something and it was like, okay. She said. She said. I guess we could talk about it, right?

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah. Okay.

[F]

So you said turkey police.

[B]

Oh, like, yeah, from the.

[F]

I do like that part. Because in that episode, people are like, oh, well, she didn't say this. She didn't mention this. I was like, well, I did.

[A]

Just got kind of really.

[C]

Sandy has. You're.

[F]

You're here. Well, the whole time I'm standing is true. You know what I'm saying? I did have the proper information.

[C]

It was cut around because somebody was making her job impossible.

[B]

Well, it took so long.

[D]

The whole time I would look over at a chair.

[A]

Okay, no, let me set the scene. Okay. So I'm sitting where Chris is. I don't think Chris was.

[F]

I think he was sick.

[A]

So I'm in Chris's chair. So I'm looking at Sandy, and Sandy says, like. And then the turkey police came, and I was like, okay, she meant the police in turkey. Right. And like, when she said it, of course, all I see in my head is turkeys in police costumes. And I'm just like, fuck, fuck, fuck. And then I, like, look over and I start seeing Spencer kind of laughing. And then I was like, okay, can we stop? I need to collect myself. So I'm, like, trying so. Cause it's such a sad, intense story, and I feel so bad, and I'm trying so hard not to, like, laugh because I'm thinking of these fucking turkeys. So then, like, two episodes later, I think it was you with your mom and your mom was doing a true crime story and she said something, and then you. You just would not stop fucking laughing. And the worst part is you're sitting next to your mom, so you guys are both in the shot and you can't cut around it. So it was just like. I was like, okay, so it's not just me and you are losing it.

[C]

Yeah. It's pretty fun to get in one of those little laughing fits.

[A]

It's fun, but then, like, it's annoying

[C]

when you have a task.

[F]

Yeah.

[B]

And you can tell, like, everyone's laughing and Then it's like, okay, okay. Like, that energy is just so funny. It's like you're still.

[A]

It was so bad. So, yeah. Memories. All right, all right, let's just do a couple more. Who's most likely to double down instead of just apologizing?

[C]

Oh.

[D]

Oh, come on.

[B]

Kind of another majority here.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

Do we all just say it out loud at the same time?

[A]

Ready? Three, two, one. All right.

[C]

Me.

[F]

Me.

[A]

So you know this about yourself. Yes. I am so mad.

[E]

What do you mean?

[A]

Every fight we get into, and I'm like, all you have to do right now is say sorry. And then you.

[C]

Okay, I have to prove my point.

[A]

Specifically, the other day, he ran the car into another car. So that happened. Right. And so then I jump out of the car to go look, and I'm like, I think you did.

[C]

He was withholding information from me because he was out for himself.

[A]

It was my fault. So then I write down. Not him, me. I'm writing down, like, hello, I. I'm 99% sure I didn't hit your car, but in the chance I did hit your car, here's my number. Like, in case there's a mark. I don't see a mark, but if you see a mark, like, because I was just freaking out, and then I'm like, let's have a good night. Let's not ruin this. Let's have a good night. And then Rylan goes, I'm fine. You're projecting.

[C]

Well, because he stopped saying, let's just have a good night. And I was like, I'm not even saying anything.

[A]

Well, no, he goes, I'm over it. I'm fine. I said, okay. And then one second goes past, and then he goes, should have used your eyes. I was like, I should have used my eyes when you were driving.

[C]

Well, because I was like, you got out to tell me if I hit the car or not. Like, how. How is it not clear if I'm touching the car or I'm not touching the car? Just tell me.

[A]

It really wasn't. But anyways, yes. All this to say. So you're aware that you can't apologize.

[C]

If anything, I should be apologizing to the person's car if I hit it, but I'll never know if I hit it because my husband didn't tell me if I hit it.

[F]

Yeah.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

I think we were all right there. I think we all get tricky to

[F]

not know if you hit a car or not.

[B]

What a sweet moment.

[A]

Well, then you're forgiven for crashing my car.

[C]

You're forgiven has no marks.

[A]

You have crashed my car. I mean, you've been there, right? He's crashed it so many times. It's not a plug for the sip, but he has crashed my car on the sip like, six times.

[C]

If you want to see me crash

[B]

Shane's car, another plug.

[A]

Do I ever get an apology?

[C]

No.

[A]

I love that you're keeping it.

[D]

I could just see your insurance company

[B]

after this episode comes out at the end.

[D]

Like, we decided to raise your premium.

[E]

It hasn't happened in a while, but there was a period where it was like.

[B]

Like several consonant.

[A]

But I love him so much.

[C]

I'm so sorry.

[A]

Wow.

[D]

Don't do that Straight from the heart.

[A]

Go to your acting coach and work on that.

[D]

You just need to get a bunch of pool noodles and just put them in front and back of the car.

[A]

Okay, let's do one more.

[C]

Well, this game is just so perfect for us. It's really on fleek, as the game would say.

[A]

Okay, you're so stupid.

[C]

You're being so dumb, Shane.

[A]

Okay, okay, okay. Come on. Okay, last one. Who is most likely to overshare after one drink?

[D]

Oh, that's easy.

[A]

Overshare.

[C]

I have it narrowed down to two.

[A]

Well, I'm going off of Jared now.

[C]

Yeah, well, me too, but that's deflecting from somebody else.

[F]

You know what?

[A]

Oh, no. Okay. Ooh. Okay, I'm throwing in a curve ball.

[F]

Okay.

[A]

Three, two, one. Chris.

[D]

Chris.

[A]

Oh, my God.

[C]

Yes.

[B]

Is it?

[F]

I had Chris on.

[A]

I had that flashback of us drunk in my kitchen in Colorado and Chris telling us the craziest shit while he's on the floor eating Pringles and whipped cream. And I was like. I was like. It was amazing. I was like, where am I right now? It was crazy. What a great night.

[E]

No, I overshare in general. I talked about getting circumcised just moments ago. I sober. So imagine drunk. You know what I mean?

[A]

We should do a drunk podcast. But I guess Jared doesn't drink. We'll figure it out.

[F]

I did put Chris down, but then I looked over at Spencer and I thought, you know, Spencer can get pretty chatty. So I think after one drink, he'll just start rolling all out.

[B]

You know, I don't. I don't think I do it when I'm drunk. When I get really drunk, I get sort of devious, I would say. I think I've said that before, but I. I turn into, like. I like to play little, like, tricks. Like what? Like, if someone puts something down, I'll like, hide it, you know?

[D]

I know.

[B]

Cause I'm like, this is such a funny prank.

[D]

Because you're like a fun grandpa when you're drunk.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Then I'll forget I did it. And then people are like, where's my. You know?

[C]

And you're like, wallet. I don't know.

[A]

Let's look.

[B]

Yeah, like, I genuinely don't know.

[D]

It's like, in my pocket.

[B]

Well, congrats to Shane and Garrett. They won that game.

[A]

Wow. Well, speaking of winning. Wait, who is that?

Okay, guys, I'm gonna try to contain my excitement right now because sometimes I will say something and I will get that look and people will be like, that's a reach. I don't know about that. And I have been so firm on this. I have been digging my toes into this one and I love this brand more than anything. It is my all time favorite brand. But I was fucking right. Allegedly. Let's just take a look at this news clip.

[F]

If you think your favorite candy tastes a little different, you're not alone. The grandson of H.B. reese, the man behind Reese's Peanut Butter cups, is speaking out, accusing the Hershey company of replacing milk chocolate with compound coatings and swapping real peanut butter for peanut cream. Brad Reese says the changes betray his grandfather's legacy and the brand millions grew up loving. Hershey disputes that, insisting it's classic cups still use the same core ingredients in saying any changes reflect growing consumer demand for innovation. So what do you think? Have Reese's been tasting a little different lately. Let us know.

[A]

Yes. Yes.

[F]

Okay.

[C]

But when they said we're just trying to be growing consumer demand.

[A]

Still my favorite candy. Even when they're bad, they're still my favorite candy.

[C]

No, we don't even eat the finish them when they're bad.

[A]

Finish.

[C]

I can play different accents.

[A]

I. I noticed this on Halloween and I was like, I took a bite of that Halloween little pumpkin and first of all, it was gray. But I'm not, I wasn't shaming it. I was like, it's fine. Maybe it's a little old. Maybe it's from last Halloween. Still gonna eat it took a bite and I was like, horrified. I was like, this tastes healthy. It tastes like protein. It tastes like plant protein we talked about on the podcast. And then this news story happened and guys, it's sweeping the nation. Everybody's talking about this. And I just want to say I feel like we were first.

[B]

Yeah, yeah. Like, because it was. We weren't basing it off of anything. We were basing off. You had a recess and we're like, like, this is different. It's made. It's literally made different.

[A]

Let me just say this. This is. I started falling down the rabbit hole cuz I was like, okay, is this real? Like, I mean, I know it's real, allegedly, but I'm like, what are the signs? What are the clues? So then I looked and allegedly on some of the Reese's Cups, like the original cups it says milk chocolate and peanut butter. But on the fake or worse Reese's, allegedly, it says, what is it?

[B]

It's chocolate flavor. Should we see?

[A]

Oh, yes.

[B]

So I went to cvs and I got a bunch of shit.

[C]

Well. Cause there were varying degrees of bad when we were going through our children's Halloween candy. We were like, some taste similar, and then some are just bad.

[A]

So the real ones say milk chocolate and peanut butter. And allegedly the worst ones say chocolate candy and peanut butter cream. So it's like two different things. So we're gonna try it today. We have our original milk chocolate and peanut butter Reese's. And then we have our Easter version, which allegedly, it's the holiday versions that are made cheaper with worse quality. Allegedly.

[B]

Yeah. And so allegedly, these ones are being made differently now. And they're not saying anything. Allegedly. Allegedly. But these little eggs do say peanut butter cream. So we're testing three different things. Testing original Reese's. The eggs, which is what everyone's saying, taste gross now.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Also, people are saying the cups taste different now too.

[E]

Yeah, I thought it was all of them. That's different.

[F]

Is that also those Snickers you have there?

[A]

Okay, let's not get. Okay, well, I will say throw it in my mouth. We don't have them, but the tiny, tiny, unwrapped Reese's that come in a bag are incredible. So. And they taste to me like OG Reese's. So.

[F]

Oh, my gosh. He chucked it.

[C]

He didn't put.

[B]

He didn't put his hands up or anything. He just sat there and took it.

[A]

Oh, my God.

[D]

Dude, I played soccer when I was young, okay? I'm not afraid of head stopping, shoulder bumps.

[A]

He didn't even flinch.

[F]

He just sat there. Sorry.

[E]

Terrible hand, eye coordination.

[B]

Oh, my God.

[E]

He's such a man.

[A]

We also have Snickers because I started thinking, wait a minute. What if it's not just Reese's? What if it's everything under the Hershey umbrella? And Snickers also does holiday treats. So what if original Snickers versus the

[B]

Snickers egg, which I've never seen.

[E]

I didn't know that was the thing.

[A]

The confidence it takes for a company to literally put their brand on the fucking thing is crazy. Yeah. Satisfies. Imagine, period.

[C]

What are we trying first?

[A]

Okay, so I think we should try the OG Reese's that allegedly still tastes the same. We'll see.

[C]

We got a big candy budget on this.

[B]

Jared already ate half eggs.

[D]

No, no, that's the other weird conspiracy. Are the eggs Coming with the bite taken out of it.

[A]

God, I still love it.

[C]

It looks good. There's nothing like opening a receipt.

[E]

Oh, when you pull down his little panties.

[B]

That's the straightest thing you've ever said, Chris.

[A]

Yeah, Nothing like that in your drop. What the fuck is this? Delicious. It's better than the pumpkin. I already know. Yeah, it's better than the pumpkin.

[C]

This isn't bad.

[E]

I'm gonna be honest. I still love it.

[A]

It's still good. I'm still eating it.

[F]

I agree.

[A]

So let's try now the Reese's eggs. This is.

[B]

This is a big one.

[A]

They're gray. Why are they gray? Do you see what I mean? Yeah, yeah. Or am I crazy? No. I feel like they're different colors. It might be hard to see on this camera, but, like, one is, like, grayer.

[B]

They're, like, slimy. Why are they slimy?

[F]

It is a little gray.

[D]

Oh, yeah, this is. The peanut butter inside has a chalky flavor to it.

[A]

It tastes like protein.

[B]

It tastes worse than our.

[A]

Yuck. Is it good for us? As the new Reese's spokesperson, Maybe it's better for us.

[C]

It's really bad. The cup is fine, though, now.

[A]

Okay, wait. I will say, can't trust. Interesting. Don't they usually put, like, whatever is the most they put at the front.

[C]

At the top.

[A]

At the top of the ingredients. So at the top of the ingredients on the eggs, it says peanuts. On the top of the ingredients on the actual Reese's, it says milk sugar. Oh. Or milk chocolate. So that's kind of weird. Okay.

[C]

But maybe not, I guess, because there's a higher volume.

[A]

I will say peanut butter cream. It kind of looks like there's a lot more ingredients on the eggs, but maybe I'm making that up. Allegedly. Allegedly. Allegedly. Okay, now let's try the.

[B]

The creme.

[A]

The peanut butter creme.

[E]

This has to be different ingredients just because, like, how this was made, like, this is completely different feel and everything.

[B]

Yeah, it is. It's, like, creamy on the inside.

[F]

If I wanted plain chocolate, I would have gotten a Hershey kiss.

[E]

This is really hard.

[A]

Ew. The way that it, like, bended was crazy. Ew. I don't even want.

[B]

That one's not for me.

[F]

That egg one.

[B]

That is actually really bad.

[A]

This feels like it came out of somebody's butt. Yeah.

[E]

Literally.

[B]

That's, like, not extra.

[A]

I still love you, Reese's. Well, let's move on to Snickers. It's been a while since I've been here.

[B]

Weird that their whole thing Is like, it fills you up, but, like, you know, their whole thing is like, you're not you when you're hungry.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

You're like, eat a Snickers.

[A]

They do.

[B]

Well, I think it's like, Snickers satisfies hungry.

[F]

No, it says hungry. Why wait?

[A]

That's actually their slogan.

[E]

Well, it was like, commercials with, like, there were, like, actors who were reading, like, in a, like, really grumpy mood, and someone would be like, oh, you're not being. You Eat a Snickers. And they'd eat it, and then they'd be cool.

[A]

I should have done that.

[E]

This.

[C]

I don't know. I was. I was a little tired and grumpy, and I'm doing great now.

[B]

All right, we're going to have a sugar spike.

[A]

All right, let's try the Snickers egg.

[C]

Better than.

[B]

I will say the. The theory behind this whole thing is that chocolate prices have been jacking up, like, have been going up a lot recently. And so there's a lot of these candy companies are putting a lot of advertising behind gummy candy because they don't want to pay for chocolate. And then I think they're doing this too, where they're replacing it because the thing that's expensive is the cocoa butter.

[A]

Is that why, like, the Target Easter section is so gummy heavy? Yeah, I.

[B]

This is like. This is like a new thing this year.

[A]

And I feel like gummy is. They're shoving gummies down my throat.

[C]

Well, because it's all about profit margin. Have you never seen Shark Tank?

[A]

Like, nerd gummy clusters? Like, it used to be Reese's. She was that girl. And now every time you go into a Target, they have the nerds gummy cluster.

[B]

They're every everywhere.

[D]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're right.

[A]

Whoa.

[E]

And at the super bowl, there was a bunch of gummy advertising.

[B]

I'm telling you, it's like a real thing.

[A]

There are.

[B]

People have, like, written articles about this, and, like, oh, these are. Who care about the, like, candy.

[A]

These do not taste like Snickers at all.

[B]

This is actually really good.

[D]

This actually tastes like a non ice cream version of the Snicker ice cream version.

[E]

Wow.

[C]

Is this a better ratio of the ingredients than the bar?

[A]

This is better than a Snicker.

[B]

This is really good.

[A]

Well, yeah, let us know in the comments. Do you think that Reese's has changed? I mean, there's only one right answer.

[D]

Yes, it has.

[F]

Hershey's. Please do better. Okay, I'll still eat it right now, but just do better.

[A]

Okay. Speaking of things that are blowing my mind. Just kidding. Already knew. This is a clip that's been going viral about aliens.

[E]

Are aliens real?

[D]

They're real, but I haven't seen them. And they're not being kept in.

[A]

What is it? Area 51. Area 51.

[D]

There's no underground facility. Unless there's this enormous conspiracy and they. They hid it from the President of the United States.

[F]

Of course they have.

[A]

Question you wanted answered when you became president.

[D]

Where are the aliens?

[A]

Where are the aliens? Period?

[B]

Yeah. So, wait, what. So this went viral because. Because it was. Obviously, it was a very suspicious way of answering it. Immediately said yes or yell. He's like, but. And like, he's like, what is it? Area 51?

[E]

What the hell is it?

[B]

Then the next day, he had to have a statement like, I. I don't believe. You know, it was like, you know, this real, official, like, pr. Like, I didn't say aliens are real. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

[A]

Yeah, he's doubling down like, Rylan.

[C]

He's not gonna say, sorry, wait, whoa.

[B]

Isn't that crazy? And it's like. Like that he answered it in the most. And then he was, like, drinking, like, oh, well, I don't know.

[A]

He was sipping tea like me. Wow. I mean, listen, I believe him because of course there's aliens. But here's my thought. Not to get dark, but we talked about the whole bread and circus thing in the last episode. We talked about, you know, the media, the government, whoever, throwing distractions constantly at us to make us think about something else because they don't want us to look at the real thing that's happening. That, you know, they want us to focus on something else. And I said at the end of that, I was like, just wait. The distractions are going to get crazy. Just wait. It's coming soon. And then Spencer sent me this. Not saying Obama's a part of orchestrating it. I'm just saying I have this feeling Jared's talked about this once more. Things start coming out and more things are getting crazy. There is going to be something with aliens. I just know it. I just feel it. And I feel like it's getting to that point now where we're already like, we all know what's coming.

[C]

Are they gonna step in soon?

[D]

I think. I mean, it could be, but I think five years ago, there was a group of people within society that people considered crazy, right? And I think those people now are being asked questions in. In the sense of, what are your thoughts? Because I would like to know what you know, because you were right about so many other things. The fake alien invasion has been talked about for like 20 plus years by these people. So it's going to happen. And I mean right now they want to distract like never before. It's also crazy that things are happening right now just as we're entering the most surveyed time in history. Because how can you really act against anything happening where you're. When you're being watched 24 hours a day. Like there's no way for society to rebel against anything because we're under control. Constant surveillance. So I don't know, just a weird time.

[A]

I will say like listen, we talked about it last time once the files are not censored. If that happens, I don't know if that will but if that does and everybody's saying like the reason they're not uncensoring it is cuz society will collapse. Like I think that's been something that I've heard a lot. I think if that happens they're going to drop that alien bomb right away because that's going to take, take everybody's attention because I don't care like if they drop a realistic video of a real alien saying like I am real and I am here. Like that's going to completely consume the entire. Not just America, the entire world. That will literally take up all the oxygen.

[D]

So can we acknowledge something?

[A]

Yes.

[D]

How in the world? Because these files were just recently released and we knew about them forever. They kind of went back and forth on whether they existed or not. We obviously knew that they did did and now they're out. So obviously the government had a hold of these files forever. What happens next? Like nothing has happened. Everybody knows about it. So to me it's just crazy that we are even at a time right now where it feels like it isn't like a big deal as far as consequences.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

You know what I'm saying? So I, I definitely feel like the distractions are going to come heavier than ever because once people wake up and think about it like wait a second, why isn't anything happening here?

[C]

Why are crying?

[D]

That's when the aliens are coming. And then it's like, well who cares about that? We just need to be safe now because our plane's gonna blow up. So expect it. It's gonna happen. I'm calling it.

[A]

Okay, this next one is interesting. I almost wanted to try this for a conspiracy van video, but I literally cannot step into a Walmart because I've done so many videos where I've got kicked out of Walmart. Not on purpose. It just happens. So I don't know if we're gonna do it. Maybe I'll get brave and we'll try, but this is the Walmart lost and found theory.

[B]

Look how trifling Walmart is. Remember I said I lost Ella's blanket in here? Why did they pick it up and tag this used blanket and put it

[A]

in the clearance aisle?

[F]

Used blanket for $7 in the clearance aisle? That was a lost and found item.

[A]

Walmart has to be joking. Okay.

[C]

It's like, if you leave it in there for more than 30 days, we're selling your product.

[B]

Don't think it was more than 30 days.

[C]

Listen, I made that.

[A]

Okay, listen. Yeah, leaving a dirty little kid blanket and then it literally is on the shelf. It's crazy, right? Because Walmart's like. And listen, don't sue me. Walmart, this is all legend. But, like, so I'm curious. And I was like, okay, if we were to try this, how would we do it? Like, would we just do the obvious? Like, we go in, we leave some items, we go back the next day and see if they're on the shelf, or do we go to the lost and found and say, like, oh, I lost, you know, my tumbler cup? And then they'll bring over the bucket and then we'll like, scope out the bucket and be like, okay, and then come back the next week and see if those items are on the shelf.

[B]

That's interesting.

[A]

There's also a part two to this.

[C]

A lot of work.

[B]

Oh, this is. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[A]

So I've never been to Walmart's makeup section, but I assumed it was kind of like Target or something where everything was like wrapped and clean and this and that. So this is new to me.

[F]

I didn't know.

[B]

Yeah, I don't know if this is at every Walmart. I wonder if it's at like the Mega stores or something like that. But I think it's. They must have a clearance section.

[A]

And so I don't know if this is them returning used makeup and putting on the shelf or if this is just people using the makeup at Walmart and putting it back. I can see that happening.

[B]

Oh, just a quick lipstick and then keep going. Quick.

[C]

Get ready with me at Walmart. That's a good video, honestly. Wow. I would watch that.

[F]

I did see a reel where this guy goes to Walmart every day and he works out with their gym equipment.

[D]

Yeah, that's what we're gonna do, buddy.

[C]

Yes, you should do. We worked out at Walmart every day for a month.

[A]

Yeah, you could do a week.

[B]

You do a week.

[F]

Thanks, Vince.

[A]

Okay, guys, I fell down a rabbit hole and I was like, this could be an interesting podcast segment because I don't know if we've ever talked about this before. Carnivals. I've always been fascinated by carnivals. I think they're very fascinating. The fact that they travel around from, you know, state to state, the fact.

[C]

Loves watching the food reviews.

[A]

Love watching the food reviews. But obviously there's so many theories about carnivals, about who's running them, like why they exist. There's theories that they're money laundering, which I think is kind of fascinating because I don't know about any more as much. Back when I was a kid, carnivals are all cash. Like, no cards, all cash. Like, who's this money going to? What does this mean? And then they just like pick up and leave. Also, the rides constantly breaking. People constantly having accidents.

[C]

I do not trust a carnival ride, A traveling ride. No thanks.

[B]

They built this last week.

[A]

Well, and suppose. Okay, so I have a list of some theories. And then Jared, Sandy, Spencer, like, we all have some ideas on this. So some of the theories off, obviously the games rigged, like they're made so that you won't win them, so that you just waste your money on them. That's something I think a lot of people, you know, talk about. But also, I don't know how real this is, but there's a theory that whenever a carnival comes to town, the missing persons cases rises in that area for the time being, which, I mean, I'm sure there's been horror movies about it. I don't know. But, like, the idea of people coming into a town and then leaving and then you don't know where they go is crazy. But this one is my favorite because it makes so much sense to me and it is so scary to me. So there is a theory that. So, you know, like in every town, there's that place that carnivals are held, whether it's a certain church parking lot or a certain field or a certain park. Like, there's always kind of that area in town where that's where the carnival is going to be, if a carnival comes to town. So there is a theory that cults will go to those locations when the carnival's not there, and that's where they'll do some rituals because that specific area has so much energy harvested. People screaming in fear, scared. And that energy stays there. And that's what these cults will kind of feed off of, which sounds kind of crazy, but then you think about the movie us, and that literally was what was happening. It was the amusement park above it, and then all the people underneath, like, feeding off that energy. You think about there's theories that amusement parks and roller coasters and all of that, that was created as a way to harness all of this fear and adrenaline and energy so that the powers that be could feed off of it. But, like, that I just thought was very fascinating. And it made me think, like, wow. Like, I wonder if. What? Like, because I'm thinking when I was a kid, there was a very specific field at our church that they would have carnivals and stuff. Like, I wonder if they ever did weird rituals there in the middle of the night. Just very creepy.

[D]

Even the word carnival. So carne is derivative of meat, and then ball is derivative of ball, which is actually like, a satanic deity, the one with the horns and whatnot.

[B]

So it's literally like the meat of

[D]

Satan is what carnival stands for.

[A]

Whoa.

[D]

So I thought that was pretty fascinating. I mean, take it as you will.

[F]

It's scary. There was a story where this kid said he had gone to carnival with his friend, and this old. This guy bumped into him and asked him, like, where's your parents? And then the kid was like, oh, we're just here hanging out, just me and my friend. And then they just took off. Well, then later, his friend was like, I'm gonna go to the bathroom. And so he goes to the bathroom, and the kid sees the guy. He had, like, a baseball cap. So he noticed him, and the guy just smiled and, like, turned around and walked away. And his friend, like, he couldn't find him. You know, it was, I think, like, 20 or 30 minutes past, he couldn't find him. So he went to the cops or security, and sure enough, this guy was right by his car, like, smoking a cigarette or something. And so they go up to them and they ask, like, hey, have you seen this kid? He's like, no, sorry, I haven't. I haven't seen him. Well, then his friend hears, like, a knock, and he hears, like, two knocks, like, coming out of the trunk. And sure enough, that guy opened up his trunk, and the kid was in his. Like, in the trunk of his car. And there's so many stories of, like, kids getting kidnapped and, like. Like, oh, my God, it's horrible.

[A]

You know what? I have that made me think maybe it's just my Explore page on Instagram, but I feel like the last year, it's Constant carnival rides breaking. Like it's like so much so that makes me think like, okay, is there a rise in carnival rides breaking or is it just a rise in everybody filming everything? And now we're seeing it because like we never heard about it before. Not like this. This now it's like every day.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

Spencer, speaking of this.

[B]

Well, yeah, that actually some of that we were talking about transitions nicely. So I fell down the rabbit hole about Alton Towers. Have you guys heard of Alton Towers?

[A]

No.

[B]

So Alton Towers is one of the, if not the biggest, like theme parks in the uk, which is kind of the rabbit hole I'm going to go down.

[C]

Should we go there?

[A]

I'm not going to. I'm trying not to be an asshole. But that looks haunted as.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, right. I mean they even. You'll see, I'll get into it. But they even like lean into like, like. Yeah, it's. It's haunted.

[A]

Okay.

[D]

This was, this was in a chat. Gbt. Show me a haunted mansion.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Literally it was like this picture. Yeah. So the site of Alton Towers actually goes back to the Iron age to like 700. But there was a huge battle there. He was another king came over and they fought a huge battle. It was one of the bloodiest battles of that era and there was no real winner because. And so many people died. And so ever since then the area was not known as Slain Hollow because so many people were killed there. So even from the beginning of this site there's like a lot of death, a lot of weird stuff going on.

[A]

This is currently an amusement park.

[B]

Yes, yes. This is the site of the.

[A]

This is like what is the amusement. I'm just seeing creepy things.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, we'll get to it.

[A]

Is there like a slide?

[F]

Nothing?

[B]

Yeah, they literally. Okay.

[F]

Nothing scares the British.

[D]

They at least got the swings.

[B]

Yeah. So that was like, like that was.

[F]

And then what is that?

[B]

Yeah, we'll get to it. And so in. I think it was like the 11, like 1100 or something. They was the first time they built like a castle there, the manor. And so since around then the manor's been there on this location. So then that leads to the story of the chained oak, which is like a very famous tree where all the branches are chained up. And the story of the chained Oakos is that the Earl of Shrewsbury was. Was like riding home in a cart one day and there was like a woman on the side of the road. Like an old woman, like a witch type woman. He said something, he was like, you know, fuck you you poor woman. Or whatever, you know, whatever. Something back in the day. And so she allegedly put a. I don't know if I say she's not going to sue me. She put a. She put a hex on her. Yeah, she put a hex on him

[F]

and said, is this a Beauty of the Beast?

[B]

Is that what the story is?

[F]

That's how Beauty of the Beast starts? Yes.

[C]

Well, she said that every time.

[B]

Every time.

[D]

Time a.

[B]

A branch falls from this tree, a member of your family is going to die.

[A]

Oh, my God.

[B]

Supposedly the next day there was a big storm. Branch fell off. Someone died in his family.

[A]

These are all good Blum house movies.

[B]

And so they're writing notes, so I think Alton Towers, like, owns it because they. I mean, I'm skipping forward. They now have a ride called the Hex based on this story. They really lean into the fact that it's haunted. And so he chained all these branches to the tree so that the branches never fall down. And so that. Because he was, like, so scared by it after it happened. And so there's like this really, really old, like, newspaper article from, from, like, the 1800s. And it's like Lord Shrewsbury ordered the limbs to be supported by large crane chains. And so it's all about how he actually, like, ordered it happening.

[E]

And then now this really, like, officially happened.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

And so the Hex is.

[D]

Are there rides?

[A]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[F]

That's all I'm thinking about. Where are they? So the Hex.

[E]

Hex is.

[B]

Is one of the only rides in the actual old Alton Towers itself. The waiting line for the Hex is considered one of the most haunted parts of the whole area. It's in the old armory, right next to the dungeons. Scary. A real common theme through all these hunting things is there's. People see these two children. There's like, these two children who are seen often running around in this one woman. And so they're. They're the two figures that are most often seen everywhere. But the most common thing.

[A]

People.

[B]

People.

[E]

The fact that scared me so bad.

[C]

God. Scared me more than it scared me. Oh, my God.

[E]

I put up these reflectors outside the windows behind Rylan and Shane to keep sun from coming in. And as you're talking about ghost children,

[A]

like, one of them fell over real. Right. Well, whatever you're talking about is here.

[B]

She might have had to come a long way. So this is this figure.

[A]

This.

[B]

I mean, I don't know. This is a picture allegedly of her, but this is the figure. People often see this woman. Woman in old Victorian clothing. People, they, they think she's like a former governess of the towers.

[E]

I have to go.

[B]

But a lot of people in line have always. There's been multiple, multiple accounts of people thinking that someone's thrown rocks at them.

[A]

Ew. So this is.

[B]

We're getting into the rides now, so. Yes.

[A]

That's a ride. Yes.

[B]

Is that a gravitas no longer termite tent? Yeah, it does look like.

[A]

What?

[B]

So we're talking about crashes. There was a fate famous crash in 2015 on this site where there was a leftover cart on the track and they sent the cart around, smash into it. No one died. People had to have like their legs amputated and they were stuck.

[F]

Oh my gosh.

[B]

They were stuck on it for three hours before they could get off. It was really bad.

[A]

What is this park called?

[B]

It's called Alton Towers.

[D]

It sounds like a very nice like.

[B]

I know, it does sound like a, like a condo unit. So anyway, that was my big thing.

[A]

How do we get there?

[B]

Yeah, we just gotta go to England.

[A]

Should we go to England? Imagine it cuts to us there. We're here.

[B]

So. Yeah, I mean, I don't know if any of you guys are. Have gone there. I'm assuming a lot of our UK because it's like one of the biggest ones in the uk. So like really pretty fun too.

[A]

Like it's.

[B]

I mean these.

[A]

I'm going to have to look up vlogs about this cuz my brain only sees a haunted mansion with a tree with chains on it. Like I'm not eating a corn dog.

[B]

Well, I didn't do like, hey, and this ride's pretty cool. And this ride's pretty cool. This is not haunted. Whoa. But yeah, so that's all terr. I don't know if you guys have any experience with Alton Towers. I'm sure our UK people do, but it's. I just thought it was so interesting how far like it goes back to literally like 700.

[A]

No.

[B]

Anyway, so yeah.

[A]

Wow. Yeah.

[E]

That was awesome.

[A]

Good deep dive. So good.

[C]

You conjured them here I do have a story.

[F]

It's kind of like a true crime. Ish.

[A]

Yeah.

[F]

So I was actually, it was pretty interesting because there's this guy named Elber McCrudy and he was from. He was born in 1880. Right. So a long time ago. But he ended up moving around a lot and he was like a burglar. He was like a robber. Well, he ended up getting shot and killed by the police after he robbed, I believe it was a baby and so they take him to the merchery. Well, nobody can claim him because his mom had passed. Like, all of his family had passed away. Well, the owner of the merchery was like, well, I've already embalmed him. Like, I'm not gonna bury him because, like, I need to get paid for this. And so what he did was he set him up in his funeral home and charged people to see him to see this, like, mummy. He, like, dressed him up and he called him, I believe, like, the wild bandit or something. Something like that. The wild Bandit. Well, a few years later, these two gentlemen come and they state like, oh, he's our brother, he's our brother. We'll pay to, like, have you release him to me, to us. Well, come to find out, those brothers weren't his real brothers. They were the brothers of the great Patterson Carnival. And they ended up charging people, like, in their carnival to see this wild bandit's body. And they did that for years. And so they just went around in the carnival and had this, like, mummy that they were showing for money. Isn't that so wild? Like, that's so wild. That was allowed.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

That's crazy to be, like, working at a carnival and just see a dead body. Like, yo, we could use that.

[F]

Yeah, right? Let's get that in business venture.

[A]

Yeah. Wow. Well, speaking of an attraction that people would definitely pay to see, I think it's time for a recap. Are we not going to talk about

[E]

the games and who did their thing?

[B]

Oh, yeah, the secret things.

[A]

Oh, my God.

[C]

Well, we could reveal that in the recap.

[A]

Oh, stick around.

[F]

Did you just fart at smells? Why did you tell me to say that?

[D]

Why did you tell that?

[A]

I told you to say that?

[F]

Light, camera, action.

[A]

Ryland recap is a about to happen. Ryland's recap.

[C]

On today's episode of the Shane Dawson podcast, I have my co host, Ryland. Hey, Sally, how are you?

[A]

All right.

[C]

I'm so good today because we're taking down big food. Hershey's better watch their back.

[A]

No, it's all a legend.

[F]

I love a Snickers.

[A]

Sweet. Sally, I heard there was a game that we all forgot about.

[C]

Shane announced a new Titleist game that was really fun, especially because my co host Ryland won. Oh, Sally, I've been waiting to tell everyone what I have accomplished here on the Shane Dawson podcast today. I accomplished my task not once, but twice, saying a word I would never say because it's cringy and cheugy. What was the word on Fleet,

[A]

what did you. What did you say?

[C]

And one time I said it, and Shane got so weird and crazy and still nobody called me.

[F]

I thought, oh, my gosh. And you said. I thought. I don't think kids say that anymore. And I think Shane looked at. I thought Shane looked at you because that was true.

[C]

I was just doing my thing. Okay, so let's go around, clockwise.

[A]

My. Well, I gave mine up really early. Mine was to act defense by something.

[B]

Mine was. Let me read it up. Act like you're constantly texting someone. And I think the problem with me having this one is that I do stuff on my phone for the show.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

So I think people just, like, assumed I was doing that I was trying to do it when people were talking, but it was tough.

[D]

Well, mine was to act like I pooped my pants.

[B]

So earlier.

[D]

So earlier I did the fart noise.

[C]

Was Sandy in on it asking you why you stink?

[D]

Well, that was a last effort.

[A]

That's why. Is that why earlier in the show, you said coffee gave you bubble guts?

[D]

I was trying to set it up this whole time.

[F]

Oh, mine was crying.

[B]

We all knew it was. You picked an odd moment to break

[C]

it out, but I care about Chris's circumcision.

[F]

That's a hard thing to go through. Thank you.

[B]

You did it. You were impressive, though. You really got there quickly, Chris.

[E]

Mine was to say three big lies.

[A]

What?

[F]

You say you're not circumcised.

[C]

You were, like, very story oriented today. I was like, your friend didn't get shot.

[E]

I crammed so many in there. That one's real.

[B]

Oh, that one's real.

[E]

We crammed so many in that, like, it was very, like, I feel like, if anything, my real stories were probably crazy.

[A]

Was the loop fake?

[E]

No, that was real. What was fake? It was the, like, Russian mobster audition.

[B]

That was good.

[A]

The.

[E]

What else? The. Oh, join it. Trying to join a gang in high school.

[F]

That was weird. Yeah. Okay. Yeah.

[C]

Okay. Well, Rylan won.

[B]

Really?

[C]

Yes. I'm the fucking host of this recap. And I said, rylan wins.

[A]

All right, Wait. Pop quiz. Does anybody remember the name of Sally and Steve Hartley's baby?

[C]

Oh, I was the one that named him.

[B]

That's a good pop quiz.

[A]

I was literally watching the podcast from last time, and it. When it happens and Jared says, like, a name for the baby, Spencer literally said, we're never gonna run.

[B]

If I was right, we didn't I win that game.

[A]

What was it?

[D]

Oh, Beatrice.

[B]

No.

[D]

Is Beatrice on track?

[C]

Okay, wait, wait, wait. Comment down below if you know you have three.

[A]

Ooh, fun.

[C]

Two.

[A]

It's hard to spell.

[C]

One.

[B]

Montgomery.

[A]

No, you know what? I'm not even gonna answer it. Let us know.

[B]

We just won't know.

[A]

What is Sally and Steve's baby's name?

[C]

Okay, on tonight's broadcast, we have a serious conversation. Barack Obama is currently going viral for talking about aliens. And lucky for us, we have an exclusive correspondent on scene at Area 51. Steve, do you have connection?

[D]

I absolutely do, Sully. Thank you for that kind intro. Barack Obama was actually being interviewed by a gentleman, and he broke the news that aliens do exist. But then he had to tweet about it because he said that they weren't.

[A]
