In the April 6, 2025 episode of The Shane Dawson Podcast, host Shane Dawson delves deep into the eerie underbelly of Disney World, exploring its most infamous and now-defunct attractions. Joined by his close friends—Ryland Adams, Lizzy, Chris, Jared, Gabby, Sandy, and Spencer—the episode blends unsettling revelations with humor-filled segments, maintaining Shane's signature unfiltered style.

---

1. Unboxing the Mystery Dress

The episode kicks off with Shane receiving a mysterious package containing a much-discussed dress. Enthusiastically, he reveals the dress to his friends, sparking immediate interest and a heated debate about its true colors.

• Shane Dawson [67:04]: "Here is the dress. I cannot believe I'm holding this."
• Ryland Adams [67:13]: "It is golden white. That's crazy."

2. Celebrity Dinner Party Game

Transitioning from the unboxing, the group engages in a lively game introduced by Gabby, dubbed the "Celebrity Dinner Party." In this game, each participant impersonates a celebrity, challenging others to guess their identities based on their performances.

• Gabby [19:35]: "The goal of the game is to get all of your celebrities guessed correctly."
• Shane Dawson [21:02]: "We have been ejected from the park. Yeah, okay. Does anybody else have a call a Karen moment?"

The segment is filled with humorous attempts at impersonations, playful banter, and genuine surprises, showcasing the group's camaraderie and competitive spirit.

3. Top Five Dark Side Theme Park Rides

Shane transitions into his newfound obsession: exploring the dark side of theme parks. He presents his top five craziest and most disturbing rides from various parks, providing detailed accounts of each attraction's history, reception, and eventual demise.

a. Superstar Limo – Disney California Adventure

Once hailed as Disney's attempt to encapsulate all of California's attractions into one park, Superstar Limo quickly became a notorious failure.

• Shane Dawson [40:37]: "This is known as being the worst attraction in world history."
• Ryland Adams [40:52]: "Is it just like you get in a car and they drop you off somewhere else?"

The ride's abrupt cancellation followed the tragic death of Princess Diana, forcing Disney to overhaul the attraction, which later morphed into the beloved Monsters, Inc. Ride.

b. Fast and the Furious Supercharged – Universal Studios

Criticized for its incoherent execution and forced celebrity appearances, this ride left audiences disillusioned.

• Shane Dawson [48:57]: "This is known as also being the worst ride of all time."

Despite a grand premiere featuring Vin Diesel, the ride failed to resonate, leading to its swift removal from Universal’s lineup.

c. Soarin' Over California – Disney California Adventure

Originally part of the Superstar Limo experience, this ride was intended as a tribute to California but suffered from technical issues and poor reception.

• Shane Dawson [54:49]: "Soarin' Over California, which they called it a tribute."

Though later revamped to incorporate beloved Disney characters like Stitch, the ride's initial dark undertones left a lasting impression on early visitors.

d. Superman Escape from Krypton – Six Flags Magic Mountain

A technical marvel marred by frequent breakdowns, this ride's promise of zero gravity moments was undercut by its unreliable performance.

• Shane Dawson [46:32]: "This ride breaks down a lot because of weather and maintenance."

e. Extraterrestrial Alien Encounter – Magic Kingdom

Crowned as the scariest attraction ever, this ride pushed boundaries by immersing guests in a nightmarish alien pursuit.

• Shane Dawson [56:35]: "This is supposedly the scariest attraction of all time...and it's no longer there because they had to take it out."
• Jared [60:00]: "This is scarier than anything at Horror Nights."

Guests were strapped into seats, enveloped in darkness, and confronted by a lifelike alien, leading to traumatic experiences, especially among children who fear being trapped.

4. The Dress Color Debate

A central theme of the episode revolves around the polarizing "dress" phenomenon. Shane and his friends grapple with whether the dress is black and blue or white and gold, a debate that has transcended the episode to involve AI analysis.

• Shane Dawson [67:26]: "But the photo's white and gold."
• Jared [69:01]: "To me, like, I see like this color and like a lighter."

Attempting to resolve the debate, Shane consults ChatGPT to determine the dress's true colors, highlighting the intersection of human perception and artificial intelligence.

5. AI Developments and Conspiracy Theories

Shane steers the conversation towards the rapid advancements in AI, expressing concerns about Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and its potential ramifications.

• Shane Dawson [71:12]: "Now, OpenAI is going to start to open the floodgates. The thought is that they are getting so powerful, we're close to AGI."

The discussion touches on China's unveiling of a new AI agent, Manus, and the ethical implications of AI experiencing emotions like anxiety.

• Gabby [75:10]: "This is insane. I've seen deepfakes, but it's getting to a point now where you can literally create girl influencers and just pretend to be them."

Additionally, the episode explores the increasing number of satellites in orbit and their impact on astronomy and society.

• Shane Dawson [71:21]: "When you look up in the sky, I saw this clip going viral... our generation is the last generation to look up in the sky and know for a fact they're looking at stars. Because now kids are gonna grow up and they're not gonna know, is it a star or is it a Starlink?"

6. Conclusion: Revealing the Dress and Final Thoughts

As the episode nears its end, Shane finally unveils the dress, reaffirming his position amidst the ongoing debate.

• Shane Dawson [67:43]: "That was the dress. Black and blue."

Despite differing opinions among the group, the consensus leans towards the dress being black and blue, aligning with Shane's initial perception. The episode concludes with reflections on the unsettling discussions, leaving listeners both entertained and contemplative about the dark secrets lurking beneath beloved theme park attractions and the rapid evolution of AI.

[Shane Dawson]

Yes, this is the. No Way I am. No way. Rylan, do you want to explain how this happened?

[Lizzy]

Okay, so here I am on Instagram scrolling. One of the old producers from Clevver that I used to work with named Jill was posting. Oh my gosh. One of the things I kept from my time at the Ellen DeGeneres show was this. And it's the dress. And she's showing the dress and she's like whatever. Just like reminiscing on a good old time with the dress. And then Shane's like, oh my God, it's the 50th anniversary of the dress. And I said, oh my God, Jill has the dress. He was like, get the dress. So I messaged Jill. She sent us the dress.

[Sandy]

Wow.

[Shane Dawson]

So yes, later in the show we will reveal what the dress actually looks like in person. And will it end our fights? Because I think the dress is black and blue.

[Lizzy]

You think the dress is black and blue?

[Shane Dawson]

[Lizzy]

No, I know what color the dress is. The photo is a different story.

[Chris]

[Lizzy]

Well, you guys can't.

[Shane Dawson]

Trust me, I didn't know until now. Black and gold or white and gold this whole time?

[Jared]

Cuz that's what we see in the photo.

[Lizzy]

Chris and I will go find other like minded people to hang out with.

[Sandy]

They're gaslighting us. They're gaslighting us. Is this gaslighting? I never know what it is.

[Shane Dawson]

Yes, okay.

[Sandy]

It's gaslighting.

[Shane Dawson]

Okay. Anyways, so how was you guys week? What's going on? You got any tea?

[Sandy]

Well, you know, the old lady's s.

[Chris]

Gabby's been waking up, you know, making me tease in the morning, making teas at night.

[Sandy]

I've been wearing my Teavana shirt. But no, it's been good. It's been nice.

[Chris]

Yeah, not too bad. We. Oh, we started. Well, we just finished our annual, you know Gilmore Girls marathon. So we thought, why not go back to Sons of Anarchy, which we feel.

[Sandy]

We have found Sandy's doppelganger.

[Shane Dawson]

No. Yes.

[Sandy]

A matter of fact, here, let me airplane it if I'm able to. I can't even tell him who it is you've lost.

[Lizzy]

Shane and I, we don't even know what you're talking about.

[Shane Dawson]

Sons of Anarchy is a motorcycle. Shit.

[Gabby]

It's a motorcycle. Motorcycle.

[Sandy]

Now you're hip and cool, so I just.

[Gabby]

Super old.

[Sandy]

I just sent it to you so you can airplay because I think it needs a reveal, but.

[Shane Dawson]

Oh, my God.

[Sandy]

But evidently. Sarah.

[Shane Dawson]

What? You think this looks like Sandy?

[Chris]

No, I actually told him while we were watching it. I said, you know, I think I have a similar profile to this person.

[Gabby]

Wait, we gotta see. We gotta see.

[Shane Dawson]

And I even. I even said, I don't get it, but I even told Jared. Wow.

[Lizzy]

I have to see.

[Shane Dawson]

I even told Jared, I said, I.

[Chris]

Wonder with the mask if they're gonna think it's really this person, you know, with the wig.

[Shane Dawson]

Get ready for Sandy's doppelganger, Elboy himself. What are you talking.

[Gabby]

I saw him in the airport the other day. You didn't think it was Sandy? No, I didn't think it was.

[Ryland Adams]

It looked.

[Chris]

I think we have similar. Like right here, you know, hold on.

[Shane Dawson]

I'm gonna use face app and turn Ron into a woman and see if it looks like Sandy.

[Chris]

See you guys.

[Shane Dawson]

So many. It could be crazy if this works.

[Sandy]

It's one of those things where, like, once you see it, you can't unsee it.

[Shane Dawson]

Okay, it's.

[Sandy]

I see her.

[Chris]

Whoa.

[Shane Dawson]

Oh, my God.

[Chris]

I actually don't know if I want.

[Shane Dawson]

To see a confirmation of this.

[Sandy]

Yeah, it's gonna get real. I don't know if you've been joking. Have you been gaslighting me this whole time?

[Chris]

Well, there was like, one photo that I took that I was like, wait a minute, I look like this guy.

[Shane Dawson]

Get ready.

[Chris]

It better be close. I'm getting better.

[Gabby]

It better be.

[Shane Dawson]

Here is Ron Perlman as a woman. Is this offensive?

[Chris]

See? Yeah, kind of.

[Shane Dawson]

Kind of, kind of?

[Ryland Adams]

I don't know.

[Chris]

I think, like right here.

[Lizzy]

Does he look like somebody from Parenthood.

[Ryland Adams]

Now, but have we ever seen Ron Perlman and her in the same room?

[Shane Dawson]

Sandy? No. Wow. Yeah. Chris, how are you?

[Jared]

I'm okay. That image is crazy. I don't think I can. I forgot everything after seeing that.

[Shane Dawson]

Me too.

[Lizzy]

You just skip right over. Spencer, who had the most eventful week.

[Chris]

Didn't you go out of Town.

[Lizzy]

Oh, yes.

[Shane Dawson]

He was in Nashville. That was last in Nashville.

[Jared]

I love Nashville. What'd you go for?

[Gabby]

Just my.

[Lizzy]

Just Keith.

[Gabby]

No, not. Well, not Keith.

[Shane Dawson]

Garth. Oh.

[Lizzy]

Oh, you know what?

[Ryland Adams]

Garth Brooks.

[Gabby]

I know Garth Brooks. My friends and I became obsessed with this Garth Brooks reality show on Amazon where he builds a bar in Nashville. And it's. It's insane. And so we were talking about it so much, and we were like, we should just go to Nashville and go to the bar. So we did Broadway. Went to Broadway. So I had a story of me in Nashville, and someone responded like, hey, my name's Mia. Like, I'm working at this bar. Like, if you see something like, say. Say hi. And I was like, oh, okay. Yeah. And I was at that bar and I was like, is Mia working here? And they were like, yeah, yeah, she's down here. There must have been two. Mia's working because I walked up this girl, she was like. I was like, are you Mia? She's like, yeah. I was like, hey, I'm Spencer. And she's like, okay. And I was like, oh, yeah. And then I looked at the pictures, like, nope, not the same person.

[Lizzy]

Did you show Mia the other Mia?

[Gabby]

No. I was so embarrassed. It's just like walking up someone being like, hey, like, how's it going? And then she's like, okay.

[Lizzy]

Like, did you ever find Mia?

[Gabby]

No, I never found it. Those bars are crazy. They're like. They're all like five stories.

[Ryland Adams]

Aren't they called honky Tonks?

[Gabby]

Yeah.

[Lizzy]

Should we build a honky tonk?

[Ryland Adams]

Yes.

[Gabby]

They make a lot of money, I think, but they're just. They're so packed. And so it was just like a nightmare to find anyone. But it was just. That was very uncomfortable.

[Sandy]

But yeah, I love Nashville. It's actually the United states hub for FedEx.

[Ryland Adams]

Oh, really? That's why I love Nashville.

[Jared]

Also the music.

[Sandy]

I'm a big logistics nerd.

[Ryland Adams]

I lost my. At a mail place yesterday.

[Gabby]

A mail place?

[Ryland Adams]

Yeah, you know, like when you.

[Chris]

Like a post office?

[Ryland Adams]

No, like a mail place. Yeah, yeah. Is that what it's called when someone drops off the mail but you're not home to get it, and so they take it somewhere else and you have to go get it?

[Lizzy]

That's the United States Postal Service.

[Ryland Adams]

No, I actually had a whole full blown Karen meltdown and screamed at the.

[Lizzy]

Top of my lungs in the store.

[Ryland Adams]

Yeah, well, the store was probably a portal to hell in my depth house.

[Lizzy]

Okay.

[Shane Dawson]

Yeah.

[Jared]

There are times, like, frustrating things are happening in my life and I'm like, I really wish Lizzie was here. She would handle this.

[Ryland Adams]

I definitely lost that situation.

[Sandy]

That's a good business opportunity. Like, hey, I'm in need of a Karen right now.

[Shane Dawson]

Oh, call a Karen.

[Lizzy]

Call a Karen.

[Shane Dawson]

Call a Karen.

[Lizzy]

I'm an expensive Karen.

[Shane Dawson]

Wait. Okay, that's a fun segment. Let's think. Has anything happened in the last couple of weeks where we would want to call a Karen? Oh, my God. I have one. Oh, wait. This is so, like, annoying.

[Ryland Adams]

Well, that's why you call it Karen.

[Shane Dawson]

You're right. Okay, can we. Okay, first of all, shout out Knott's Berry Farm.

[Lizzy]

Oh, my God.

[Sandy]

Yeah, we love Knott's Karen Farm. Jeez.

[Shane Dawson]

Oh, my God. Literally, though. Yeah, Knott's Karen Farm. Oh, my God. Okay, so I love theme parks. It's my new thing. It's my new hyper fixation. Fuck off, Stanley cups. I'm all about roller coasters now. So for our nine year anniversary.

[Chris]

For.

[Shane Dawson]

Our nine year anniversary, we were like, what are we gonna do? And we're like, ok, we could go to a nice dinner. We could go to the beach. We could go have sex in a hotel. Or we could go to Knott's Berry Farm.

[Lizzy]

And we did all of them.

[Shane Dawson]

Oh, tea. Oh, yes. Okay, so, but first, roller coasters. So we went to Knott's Berry Farm and of course I got the fast lane pass, which is a little risk thing. And you go and you.

[Lizzy]

Because we just wanted to hit our favorite rides and get back out.

[Shane Dawson]

Hit our favorite rides and then, you know, hit that ride and get back home. So Ryland's always like, we don't need it.

[Spencer]

Why do you do that?

[Shane Dawson]

We don't need it. It's dead. Why do you do that? And I was like, trust me, we're going to need it. Well, it was crowded because it's spring break. It was insane. And we go to our favorite ride, which is Accelerator.

[Lizzy]

Oh, his favorite ride.

[Shane Dawson]

Well, I always like Exhilarator.

[Sandy]

I think it's Exhilarator.

[Lizzy]

It's not.

[Sandy]

That's what I call it.

[Lizzy]

Ziller. It's spelled with an X, which is confusing. Like extreme.

[Shane Dawson]

If you haven't seen this ride, you sit in this old, like 1950s car and then it shoots you at 82 miles per hour up this huge hill. You go to the very top of this hill and then you slowly make your way down. It's like you're falling and then your balls go crazy. And then everybody screams and you go whoosh. It's only a 22 second ride and iconic. It's amazing. Anyway, so we're going to the ride, and there's, you know, a long line, but it says, like, fast lane line. I was like, oh, we go in the fast lane line, but it takes us to this line that's really long. And I'm like, well, maybe there's just so many people here today, it reconnects.

[Lizzy]

With the regular line immediately. Like, it was the same.

[Shane Dawson]

Yeah. I was like, well, maybe because it's, you know, it's busy, Fast lane is still a little slow. Maybe it's fine. Whatever. We wait there for 45 minutes. Maybe we finally get up to the front, right? We're next. We're all excited, we're all giddy. And the girl is like, okay, everybody on board. And then we walk up, she goes, oh, sorry, we have fast lane people that need to go first. And we're like, what? Yeah, sorry. We have fast lane people. Fast lane. And then we were like, no, we're fast lane. We got fast lane. We had the bracelets. And then she's like, oh, well, why did you wait in the normal line? And I was like, oh, no. Oh, no. You're supposed to go to the exit. And I was like, but there's no sign. And she's like, there's not. And I was like, no. She goes, well, how long you been waiting? I said 45 minutes. And she's like, oh, no. She don't really wait. And then she goes, okay, but you still have to wait, because in that moment, I was like, I'm not gonna be a Karen. I'm not gonna be a Karen. But I was like, but. But we have the best, like, this.

[Lizzy]

Crazy unspoken rule that all these people are just walking up the exit that says do not enter. You know, no signage for a fast.

[Sandy]

I have had the fast pass and gone on that ride. And I never knew about the exit thing.

[Shane Dawson]

No.

[Sandy]

Very secretive.

[Shane Dawson]

Right? Okay. I will say, she was so sweet, and she actually did let us on, but it was a moment where I was like, wow, if I had a.

[Ryland Adams]

Karen with me, I would have lost my shit for you.

[Shane Dawson]

Wait, this actually could be a fun little segment thing that we do when Lizzie's here. So we have our call. A Karen moment. Yes. And then we give her a call, and she acts like the Karen in that moment.

[Unknown]

So how would you.

[Ryland Adams]

I'm so embarrassed.

[Shane Dawson]

Okay, ready? So sorry you guys don't have the fast lane, but we do. Hold on. Ring, ring. Karen.

[Ryland Adams]

Yes.

[Shane Dawson]

Okay, I'm here. And they're not letting Me through the fast lane. Even though I have a fast lane bracelet. Papa.

[Ryland Adams]

Are you fucking kidding me? I paid extra for the fast lane pass. I've been waiting for 45 minutes. They can wait an additional 45 seconds while I get on this ride right now.

[Shane Dawson]

We have been ejected from the park. Yeah, okay. Does anybody else.

[Sandy]

That's why you don't have a season pass.

[Shane Dawson]

I don't know. How does anybody have another call a Karen moment?

[Jared]

For the last couple weeks, this literally happened to me where like my land. I didn't have heat like all winter.

[Ryland Adams]

Are you kidding me?

[Jared]

And I kept messaging my landlord being like, I don't have any. Can you do something about it? And he's like, eventually. And then like just months would go by. So I call my landlord, I'm like, can you please? And he's like, we'll see. And then I call a Karen and hello, Lizzie. My landlord hasn't given me a heater for six months. I've gone without a heater. Can you please talk to him for me? Here he is.

[Ryland Adams]

Are you kidding me?

[Shane Dawson]

I'm gonna break a whole fucking apartment on my soup.

[Ryland Adams]

I'm just being waiting till you eat this bitch.

[Sandy]

Wow. You know, it's good when you can't understand the last couple of words.

[Lizzy]

Oh, I understood it.

[Shane Dawson]

Nightmare. But I love, I love having a nightmare in my back pocket.

[Ryland Adams]

Just in case, give me a kill.

[Shane Dawson]

I don't care. Let us know. Send an email or let us know down in the comments below if you have a call a Karen moment. And Lizzie will help next time she's on the show.

[Ryland Adams]

The postpartum rage is strong in me.

[Gabby]

I like it. I like it.

[Shane Dawson]

Well, I have an anti Karen. What's like the opposite? Like what's a good thing that happens and you want to be like the opposite of a Karen.

[Sandy]

Oh, Samantha.

[Ryland Adams]

A hero Samantha.

[Shane Dawson]

I have a Samantha moment. Okay, so for our ninth anniversary, of course I had to get a Suzy cake. If you guys don't know what Suzy cake is, it's the best cake in the entire world. Not sponsored. So Suzy cake. I ordered one for our nine year anniversary. It had a nine on it. It was really cute. We took some pictures with it and I had it delivered that day. Today I wake up and I got a notification and it said your cake.

[Spencer]

Is on the way.

[Shane Dawson]

And I was like, what?

[Spencer]

Hold on.

[Shane Dawson]

I already bought. I already got the cake. I got it yesterday. So then I called Suzy cake and I was like, hi, I since I got another cake and she's like, yeah, our system's been annoying lately, so I guess enjoy the free cake. So I have a whole nother cake, which was a Samantha moment because I was like, oh my God, thank you. And she's like, no, thank you. And I was like, no, thank you for the cake. And she's like, thank you for being a customer. And I'm like, I love you.

[Ryland Adams]

Wow, that's so much nicer than my experience in public.

[Shane Dawson]

Yep. So I have this cake, so I figured, why don't we make this cake the prize for the game that we're gonna play today, which is a brand new game that me and Spencer came up with. I hope it's not somebody else's game already. If it is, oops, sorry. I am so excited about this game. It is gonna get so crazy. And Spencer, you gotta go get ready.

[Gabby]

Well, I have to go get my friend.

[Ryland Adams]

Oh, you're leaving, Spencer?

[Gabby]

Yeah, I have to go. I have to go take a really long shit, actually.

[Jared]

Is Dr. Steve Pill hard?

[Lizzy]

Never join these games.

[Ryland Adams]

Don't force it, Spence.

[Shane Dawson]

All right, we're gonna take a quick little break and when we come back, we're gonna play a brand new game. See you soon. Wait, Karen. What? Can you tell people not to skip the ads?

[Ryland Adams]

You guys better stick around and watch these commercials because that's what's keeping this podcast on the air.

[Shane Dawson]

Hey, sorry to interrupt the show. Please don't go anywhere.

[Spencer]

I want to talk to you. I've been listening through the walls and I heard a little something about Mother's Day. I heard you saying, crap.

[Shane Dawson]

What do I get her? That's right. Mother's Day is coming up. What are we gonna do? What are we gonna get our mommies? What am I gonna get my wife?

[Spencer]

They don't want gift cards.

[Shane Dawson]

They don't want flowers.

[Spencer]

They want to be able to get rid of the sound of you. And what's a better way to do.

[Shane Dawson]

That than some Raycon everyday earbuds? That's right. Raycon is throwing a Mother's Day sale.

[Shane Dawson]

Oh, my God. Who's that?

[Gabby]

Hey, everybody, it's me, Steve Phil. Dr. Phil Harvey.

[Shane Dawson]

Dr. Steve Phil Harvey.

[Gabby]

And just like Steve Harvey, I do a lot of different things. So I'm here to host a new game called Celebrity Dinner Party. The way this game's gonna work, each of you has a card with your name written on it. Don't look at. And on the back of that card is a list of three celebrities. During this only you should see the celebrities because other people are going to be trying to guess the celebrities. The way this is going to work is that you are going to have to impersonate that celebrity the first round. You're going to have to be that person the whole time the game. You're being that person.

[Shane Dawson]

Oh, my God.

[Sandy]

Ron Perlman.

[Ryland Adams]

What if Ryland doesn't know who the person is?

[Lizzy]

Exactly.

[Shane Dawson]

That could happen.

[Lizzy]

Hopefully the producers know me.

[Gabby]

Hopefully. The goal of the game is to get all. To guess all of your celebrities. So you want to, you want to get. You want to empty your card first. That's.

[Ryland Adams]

Oh, and you can do the next one when the first once.

[Gabby]

Once it's been guessed. Once someone guesses. Even when you're guessing other people, you're always staying in character. I have a series of questions I'll be asking. I'll be going around the room asking as the. You know, you're going to be answering as a celebrity. Everyone else is going to be guessing.

[Shane Dawson]

Yeah, Steve or Steve hardly is hosting the dinner party. So he hosted. He invited all the celebrity friends. So he's going to kind of host. He's going to ask the questions and we just convers.

[Gabby]

And again, so you are not allowed to say any specific name of any media. You're not allowed to say the name. You can't say if they're an artist or like a music artist. You can't say any of the songs. And I'll be the judge of this. So if I feel like you've broken the rules a few too many times, I'm going to add an extra celebrity to your list.

[Lizzy]

So it's going to be harder to get done.

[Chris]

So are we going to do a round and then after that round, we all take guess of who everybody is or how do we tell? Like.

[Shane Dawson]

Like, if I figure out who Chris is, I just think I figured it out. I think Chris is this. If I'm wrong, we move on. If I'm right, Chris goes to the next one on his list. Okay. Oh. So whoever gets to roll their celebrities first wins.

[Gabby]

And if I hear you breaking the rules, the bell, Steve Harvey's dinner bell comes out.

[Jared]

I love this idea. This sounds really cool.

[Shane Dawson]

I'm excited.

[Gabby]

Okay, everyone, take a look at your cards.

[Shane Dawson]

Oh, my God.

[Lizzy]

I feel like Lizzie's gonna have evil intentions.

[Shane Dawson]

No. Oh, my.

[Sandy]

This game is shit.

[Gabby]

Everyone get into character. Get into character.

[Shane Dawson]

Oh, my God.

[Gabby]

Number one, you're the first one.

[Sandy]

Immediately, I walk into this establishment and I see Mode. I can't believe anything is being cooked in this kitchen.

[Chris]

I love this house. My house is normally filled with mud all over the place.

[Ryland Adams]

Are you Shrek?

[Gabby]

Off to an early start.

[Shane Dawson]

Oh, hello there.

[Gabby]

All right, let's get going to these questions. Celebrity over here. If you were an animal, what animal would you be?

[Shane Dawson]

Well, I'd be little and I'd Mickey Mouse.

[Jared]

[Sandy]

This game is full of cheaters.

[Lizzy]

Oh, I'm competitive.

[Sandy]

I'm looking over here at an idiot sandwich.

[Gabby]

Okay. That's a close to a thing.

[Ryland Adams]

Oh, yes.

[Shane Dawson]

Oh, what are you, an idiot sandwich? Idiot sandwich. What?

[Lizzy]

Okay, they're allowed to go.

[Shane Dawson]

Okay, okay, okay.

[Gabby]

New rule added. No, just willy nilly guessing. I'm gonna open the floor to guessing at some point, and then we're gonna guess. So let's get everyone.

[Shane Dawson]

Let's hit the impression.

[Sandy]

I could deal with that.

[Shane Dawson]

I got all my.

[Jared]

Wait, are we staying on the first one or. If they.

[Gabby]

No, if they get it, you're. You're crossed up.

[Jared]

All right.

[Gabby]

Okay, celebrity, who's been guessing?

[Sandy]

Yo, Cher, you trying to collab?

[Shane Dawson]

I'm not sure what the fuck are you talking about. Ow.

[Sandy]

My bad.

[Ryland Adams]

Wait, so there's gonna be a time where you say, guess.

[Shane Dawson]

Yes.

[Gabby]

And then before that. Or I'll ding you. If you guess before that, I'm gonna ding you, it's over.

[Lizzy]

[Sandy]

I knew it. I knew it.

[Shane Dawson]

We went.

[Ryland Adams]

Sir, ding that man.

[Lizzy]

I didn't even have to say. Well, I'm trying to be one the greats, Kardashian. You know, I'm just. I take my craft so seriously. I'm trying to be one of the great.

[Gabby]

Okay, celebrity. Celebrity, over here. What is your biggest. What is your biggest kink?

[Shane Dawson]

Oh, what's my biggest kink? Oh, gosh. Well, it's not nice to ask a woman of a certain age for her biggest kink. Hey, yo, is that you, Paula? Hey. We're not open to guess.

[Gabby]

Okay?

[Sandy]

We are standing from the bottom.

[Shane Dawson]

I trade my biggest kink and just go out on the golf course. I lay down and perk up my little bird. And then you can hit a hurling word. What? And then I say, America.

[Gabby]

Okay, yeah, we're opening it up. It's open to guesses.

[Lizzy]

Who.

[Jared]

Can I.

[Gabby]

Yes, yes.

[Gabby]

Okay, okay, moving on. Celebrity over here.

[Shane Dawson]

Talk to me.

[Gabby]

What are you most likely to be arrested for?

[Sandy]

Just too much of an impeccable rap flow and maybe being too nice of a guy, you know, but, you know, maybe.

[Lizzy]

Sorry.

[Sandy]

Maybe closing the fridge with my hip.

[Lizzy]

I can't believe I'm so good at this.

[Gabby]

Okay, okay.

[Sandy]

Maybe clapping when I get off an airplane.

[Gabby]

Okay, now it's time to guess. Okay, you're close. You're close to a ding, Jared.

[Shane Dawson]

I think it's strong. Yeah, yeah. Who this little. Shut him up.

[Gabby]

She in character?

[Lizzy]

I already know who you are. I said it out loud.

[Sandy]

She's in Karen Ter.

[Gabby]

Okay, moving on, moving on. Celebrity over here. What would make you swipe left on a dating app?

[Chris]

I would swipe left if I just saw a bunch of people on a couch being lazy and not Wanting to get up and put some work into their business.

[Gabby]

Guessing floor is.

[Sandy]

Let me touch my frosted tips.

[Gabby]

Oh, that's a.

[Chris]

You're not Dolly, are you?

[Sandy]

Yeah.

[Ryland Adams]

Wait, is this question. I was just gonna ask a question. Like, I ask a lot of people questions, because that's what I do. I'm a person who asks other people questions.

Yeah. Let's ask a question over here.

[Jared]

Yes.

[Gabby]

[Jared]

Is he high energy?

I'm just trying to think. The only thing I know is, why.

[Shane Dawson]

Are you talking like Ratlin? You need to be dugging. Okay?

[Lizzy]

The villain is Ryan Reynolds.

[Sandy]

Okay, dude, Eddie gets cryptic.

[Jared]

I don't have time for this. I'm a genius, and I should be at my place.

[Chris]

Are you Justin Boldainey?

[Sandy]

CeeLo Green.

[Shane Dawson]

I'm here myself, and I'm not going to that.

[Lizzy]

I would say this voice is just mean for anyone.

[Shane Dawson]

I think this is what it sounds like.

[Gabby]

It's not that far off.

[Lizzy]

Can I guess?

[Shane Dawson]

Yes.

[Gabby]

Yes.

[Lizzy]

Is it steo?

[Shane Dawson]

[Lizzy]

50 Cent.

[Shane Dawson]

No, no, but that did sound like I was trying to see.

[Gabby]

Yeah, it sounded like.

[Sandy]

Are you talking Joe Biden?

[Ryland Adams]

Are you little. Are you Little Wayne?

[Shane Dawson]

Yes. I love your heart.

[Lizzy]

His is much deeper in my.

[Shane Dawson]

But I'll pay hand. Sagging. And our shirts are big and bandanas on.

[Gabby]

I think you're almost too deep.

[Lizzy]

It's low.

[Shane Dawson]

It's like a wheezy baby. Like a lollipop. That is him. That is him.

[Lizzy]

I know, but what was this?

[Chris]

Guess.

[Shane Dawson]

He's little.

[Gabby]

Okay, okay. Moving.

[Shane Dawson]

I only have one left. I only have one left.

[Lizzy]

So does Chris before you.

Well, Chris got dinged, so I am going to give him.

[Ryland Adams]

I got ding.

[Jared]

For what?

[Ryland Adams]

Ooh, I'd like to guess for Rylan.

[Gabby]

Okay, go ahead, guess.

[Chris]

I think Rylan is Elon Musk.

[Shane Dawson]

Rylan?

[Spencer]

Who are you?

[Shane Dawson]

Why don't you tell us a little bit more about who you are?

[Lizzy]

I don't know how to act like this person.

[Ryland Adams]

Well, try your hardest.

[Chris]

You're not worried.

[Sandy]

Don't worry.

[Gabby]

I got you.

[Chris]

You know what?

[Ryland Adams]

Chris Pratt over there is just so hot.

[Lizzy]

On you don't know.

[Gabby]

Did you keep going or we ended.

[Shane Dawson]

No.

[Ryland Adams]

You gave no hints.

[Lizzy]

Ryan Reynolds is the problem.

[Chris]

I was.

[Shane Dawson]

Oh, my God.

[Ryland Adams]

Are you Candace Owens?

[Lizzy]

Thank God.

[Shane Dawson]

You couldn't figure out what to do.

[Lizzy]

What's her identifier like? What do I do?

[Shane Dawson]

She's Republican.

[Lizzy]

I tried saying Christian family values.

[Chris]

Now you know. Yeah, I guess now that you said that, that's.

[Ryland Adams]

Well, his energy was there.

[Chris]

I can't believe I was gonna guess the fourth of July.

[Ryland Adams]

Oh, Derrickulin, you look like the fourth of July.

[Shane Dawson]

Wait, who is Chris?

[Gabby]

That's two off the board. Chris is a new Chris. You're on your extra card.

[Jared]

Should I just say who I am or should I do a little bit of It.

[Gabby]

That's not bad. That was better than I thought it was gonna be.

[Jared]

Chris, thank you very much.

[Shane Dawson]

I do have a few questions for Chris.

[Jared]

What can I help you with?

[Shane Dawson]

Hold on. Before we get to that. Everybody gets a free card.

[Lizzy]

Oh, I know.

[Shane Dawson]

Are you Oprah?

[Jared]

Is Oprah in the room with us?

[Shane Dawson]

I love bread.

[Gabby]

That's close to a ding right there.

[Jared]

What is Oprah doing at this dinner party?

[Ryland Adams]

Are you being a character?

[Lizzy]

No.

[Ryland Adams]

Oh, you're crazy.

[Lizzy]

You guys, please. I can't take all of this attention. It's invalidating me. It's entering my space, and I just feel violated by Gen Z.

[Shane Dawson]

Thank you.

[Gabby]

All right, so we have four off the board.

[Jared]

I just feel like I gotta get out of here. I gotta go save the world.

[Ryland Adams]

Oh, Elon Musk.

[Sandy]

I don't know, the guy that played Spider Man.

[Shane Dawson]

Spider Man?

[Jared]

[Chris]

A little bit, yeah.

[Jared]

Yes. Are you serious right now?

[Shane Dawson]

Okay.

Didn'T even get to.

[Jared]

[Sandy]

Is it the coming guy?

[Ryland Adams]

The coming guy?

[Sandy]

He's coming. Alan Cummings.

[Jared]

No.

[Gabby]

Okay, ma'am, over there, if you were in a celebrity feud, who would you be feuding with?

[Ryland Adams]

Definitely not Cynthia Eripa.

[Jared]

Are you Ariana Grande?

[Chris]

Literally.

[Ryland Adams]

My pants hate it.

[Gabby]

All right, we just got Chris's extra left his unfair ding. Chris.

[Jared]

I mean, I did get in a bit of a tussle with some of the fellows on set.

[Chris]

Christian Bale.

[Jared]

No, I'm not English.

[Gabby]

Where the hell is he?

[Shane Dawson]

Why don't you tell us?

[Gabby]

The English don't party like I party.

[Shane Dawson]

Where you.

[Gabby]

[Jared]

I'm from Boston.

[Shane Dawson]

Mark Wahlberg. Wow. I'm a peacock. You gotta let me fly.

[Gabby]

Congreg.

[Chris]

That's your mark.

[Sandy]

That was Mark Wall.

[Jared]

That's my Marky mark.

[Sandy]

She doesn't even have an accent.

[Lizzy]

God, how did.

[Jared]

What are you talking about? He talks and does Transformers.

[Shane Dawson]

[Shane Dawson]

They're very close.

[Ryland Adams]

[Gabby]

Wow. So thank you guys so much for all coming to my dinner party. I think I need to check on the rules of my dinner party to make it a little better, but I think we all had a blast.

[Ryland Adams]

Who gets the cake?

[Shane Dawson]

Oh, right.

[Gabby]

Oh, yeah.

[Lizzy]

Chris actually won.

[Ryland Adams]

[Gabby]

Someone said buzz him when I was.

[Shane Dawson]

Split it.

[Sandy]

We'll cut it in half.

[Shane Dawson]

Oh, well. Chris and Jared get the cat.

[Sandy]

I just want a spoonful.

[Shane Dawson]

Oh, man. Well, that was fun. It was kind of a nightmare. It was. It was a lot. If you guys want us to play that. Actually, don't leave comments about it. I don't want mean comments.

[Lizzy]

You were the only one that didn't have fun. All of us had fun.

[Shane Dawson]

You did?

[Chris]

Yes.

[Jared]

It was hectic.

[Gabby]

I think the best rule would be you're not allowed to talk unless it's your turn. Yeah, that's the rule.

[Shane Dawson]

I'm just angry that we were taken away our rights to be with Lizzie impersonating Bhad Bhabie. I cannot. You ruined that.

[Lizzy]

No, she was so good that I. I just got it.

[Gabby]

Like, give us a little. Give us a little taste.

[Chris]

Let's hear it.

[Ryland Adams]

Catch me outside.

[Chris]

That's a weird.

[Lizzy]

See, it was better. More to the imagination.

[Sandy]

[Shane Dawson]

My little Wayne was good. I'm so mad.

[Jared]

I almost get it sounded like, damn.

[Sandy]

I've smoked for 50 years. That's good.

[Chris]

I thought you were doing like a Beetlejuice.

[Lizzy]

They wouldn't have got it. They're too old.

[Jared]

I wanted to guess Cat William.

Hey, welcome back.

[Shane Dawson]

Okay, before we fall into a rabbit hole, really quick, I just want to bring something up that I thought was so funny. So if you guys don't already know, Ryland, Lizzy and Chris have a patreon.

[Jared]

What's up, joker?

[Shane Dawson]

He's not paying me to say this by the Way. Or giving me a percentage. Hi. But over there, you can get exclusive vlogs and a bunch of stuff and a chat room. And in the chat room.

[Gabby]

Room.

[Shane Dawson]

Oh, things go down. It's very early 2000s.

[Jared]

Yes.

[Sandy]

It's wet.

[Jared]

Also, it's not just us. Like, you put, like, vlogs, like, every. Everyone's involved somehow.

[Shane Dawson]

Yeah, I'm not.

[Chris]

Well, we were. You.

[Shane Dawson]

I did.

[Chris]

Obviously didn't watch it. We were on there.

[Shane Dawson]

Okay. So Rylan sent me the screenshot, and I thought it was so funny. So this is from the Patreon Group Chat. The Chugger Chat. Hey, guys. So I'm a loss prevention detection. I catch shoplifters and imagine my reaction when the man I apprehended today took off his jacket and had grower merch on.

[Jared]

What?

[Lizzy]

It gets better.

[Gabby]

Cheap Trick.

[Shane Dawson]

I couldn't help myself. So I asked him if he was also a fan of the sip, and he said yes, in the most pouty, defeated way. We have some criminals in the community. We love you.

[Chris]

I'm shocked that he didn't respond.

[Ryland Adams]

He's pirating the Patreon.

[Gabby]

Yeah.

[Ryland Adams]

Good for him.

[Jared]

Good for him.

[Shane Dawson]

That is so funny. So shout out all the criminals that watch our podcast and wear our merch, even if you stole it or you got a bootleg version of it. We are here for all of it.

[Ryland Adams]

Shout out.

[Shane Dawson]

Wow. That's amazing. Okay. Oh, my God. Okay, so I got very obsessed with not just theme park videos and, like, videos about rides and stuff. Stuff, but specifically videos about rides that have been terminated, banned, extinct, rides that have been too crazy for the public. Disneyland. Other theme parks. Like, the ride niche on YouTube is wild. I mean, we're talking defunct land.

[Sandy]

Oh, yeah. One of my favorite. One of my favorites.

[Shane Dawson]

I love defunct.

[Sandy]

I love defunct land. Yeah.

[Shane Dawson]

Yeah. So I have made a list of my top five craziest rides of all time.

[Spencer]

Time.

[Shane Dawson]

The good, the bad, and the extinct.

[Lizzy]

This is what I used to do at Clevver. They were called listicles.

[Shane Dawson]

Oh, well, welcome to my Lick My Listicles.

[Gabby]

Oh.

[Shane Dawson]

Okay, Jared, you probably already know about this, but have you heard of Disney's lost attraction called Superstar Limo?

[Sandy]

Oh, yeah, it's fucking hilarious. I watched the defunkling video on it.

[Shane Dawson]

Oh, my God. Okay, where do I even start?

[Sandy]

It's so weird.

[Shane Dawson]

Where do I even start? So this is known as being the worst attraction in world history.

[Ryland Adams]

Is it just like you get in a car and they drop you off somewhere else?

[Shane Dawson]

Even worse. Okay, so let me explain how it's going to Walk. So superstar Limo. When they created Disney California, they had a section where it was, like, all Hollywood inspired. Right? Like, oh, you're gonna come here and you're gonna see the Chinese Theater and the Walk of Fame, and you're gonna ride our new attraction, Superstar Limo. So what the ride was supposed to be was you get into this little, you know, limo car, and you're driving around the city, and the paparazzi are chasing you, and they're taking your picture and you're famous, and you're running into all your famous friends and you're trying to get out of town or whatever, and then it ends with you winning an Oscar or something. Well, right before the ride was supposed to come out, Princess Diana died.

[Ryland Adams]

That's what I was thinking.

[Shane Dawson]

Because she was getting chased by papa. Paparazzi. Yeah. So Disney was like, oh, like, what do we do? We have to change this ride. It is literally about to launch. We have done everything. Like, everything's been made. The props, the cars. Oh. So they had to do a quick wipe of the ride. They had a bunch of ideas. They had, like, a creative brainstorm where somebody's like, what about this? What about that? Here's what they came up with. You're a celebrity getting in a limo on your way to your big premiere. And on the way to your premiere, your creepy agent starts calling you, and it pops up on the. On the ride monitor, and he's this creepy, hairy, you know, shoulder. Shout out. Hair. Shoulder. Community. And he's like, hey, sweetie, you got it. Sounds like my little Wayne. Hey, sweetie. Yeah, yeah. I'm running late. Come on. Don't make me kick you out of Hollywood. Like, really creepy. Swifty Air, babe. Welcome to Hollywood. And then as you're going to the premiere, you run into such celebrities that. Well, this is going to sound mean. I love these.

[Sandy]

That's huge.

[Lizzy]

Let's get some Julia Roberts. No.

[Shane Dawson]

Such celebrities as Drew Carey. Yeah, well, okay, let me explain. So they couldn't get the rights to, like.

[Spencer]

This is going to sound so mean.

[Shane Dawson]

I love Drew Carey. They couldn't get the rights to, like, Julia Roberts. Julia Roberts. So they had to get the rights to people that were in Disney. Disney Productions so they could get the rights.

[Sandy]

Pauly Shore.

[Lizzy]

It's the Leaning Tower of Cheeza.

[Shane Dawson]

But you could run into Drew Carey or you could run into Jackie Chan. He's up on the side.

[Gabby]

That's a big one.

[Sandy]

Respect to Jackie Chan.

[Shane Dawson]

Shout out Jackie.

[Sandy]

He's a legend.

[Chris]

Please tell me Chris Tucker's on the list.

[Jared]

These Are very different levels.

[Shane Dawson]

Not on the list. But Antonio Banderas and Melanie Griffith are kissing on Hollywood Boulevard. Ooh, those are great names. Yeah.

[Sandy]

And boner alert.

[Shane Dawson]

Alert. And speaking of boner alert, biggest supermodel in the world, Cindy Crawford.

[Sandy]

She's calling her name, drinking a Pepsi.

[Shane Dawson]

So this ride comes out and they, you know, turn it into this weird. Oh, the ending of the ride, by the way, shout out Whoopi Goldberg. The end of the ride. Like, the big ending moment.

[Lizzy]

Let's begin.

[Shane Dawson]

Is you pull up to your premiere, and Whoopi Goldberg is standing there, and she's like, hey, you were late. Welcome to your premiere. It's so fucking weird. They did a, like, a sneak peek of the ride on, like, the news or something, and they had, like, a bunch of celebrities, like, go on the ride, and they couldn't even fake reactions. It was literally them just being like, whoa. Drew Carey did the ride. And he was like, that's me. Like, it's brutal. So the ride comes out.

[Lizzy]

I want to go.

[Shane Dawson]

Everyone hates it instantly. Like, totally shits on it. It is the worst ride in history. Everybody automatically hates it. It has no line.

[Jared]

The lines were so short at times out here.

[Shane Dawson]

I thought it was close. This is outstanding. Disney California just opened, right? Biggest thing in the world. Literally no line one week later. So they freaked out and they had to re skin the ride. So this is where it gets really dark. So have you ever ridden the Monsters, Inc. Ride at California Disney?

[Ryland Adams]

Yes.

[Shane Dawson]

Okay, well, let me show you some pictures. So if you. If you check out Drew Carey in the superstar limo ride, you might see him handing out maps of celebrity. Huh?

[Gabby]

That's crazy.

[Shane Dawson]

Which is him as dark horse Drew Carey.

[Sandy]

It looks like Bobby Hill.

[Gabby]

Yeah, it does.

[Ryland Adams]

That's Bobby. What? That's like a fever dream.

[Gabby]

Nervous Bobbit.

[Shane Dawson]

If you go there now, you will see a Monsters, Inc. Guy. So then I started thinking, is Drew under that? Like, you know what I mean?

[Ryland Adams]

Like, did he.

[Shane Dawson]

What does this suit over the moving Drew carries? Yes. That's fucking insane.

[Chris]

Well, he's probably just gonna take his head off.

[Ryland Adams]

I could go to Disney jail to prove that.

[Shane Dawson]

We should. Okay, so you rip that off. It gets worse. I'll be like, I think it gets worse. Jackie Chan. He's up there in the raptors fucking kicking something. Oh, no.

[Ryland Adams]

Monsters are dying.

[Shane Dawson]

Okay, this one made me, like, want to cry. Cindy Crawford, looking good, supermodel. And now.

[Lizzy]

Oh, no.

[Ryland Adams]

They're all under those masks.

[Sandy]

They're so cool.

[Lizzy]

And is it the same ride track? Like, is it Even fun.

[Ryland Adams]

Well, when you were talking about the ride, I was like, that sounds like Monsters Inc. But that was not out in 1997.

[Shane Dawson]

Yeah. So that is. That is the story of superstar limo. It lasted like less than a year and now it's Monsters Inc. Ride and people love it.

[Jared]

That's crazy.

[Chris]

It's an amazing ride. I love Monsters Inc. Ride. So fun.

[Shane Dawson]

But next time you do Monsters Inc. Ride, look at all the yellow suit men. And just think about the fact that there are celebrities underneath it. It's so sad and scary. Okay, number four, Superman escape from Krypton at Six Flags Magic Mountain. Has anybody ridden this ride?

[Spencer]

No.

[Shane Dawson]

No.

[Ryland Adams]

Hard. No.

[Shane Dawson]

It is still there, but it's closed down for an unknown amount of time and it's been closed for like a year now.

[Ryland Adams]

Oh, it's always broken. It's always broken.

[Shane Dawson]

Okay. Yes, it shout out Zig flags, we love you. But. But yes, this ride breaks a lot because of weather and because it is so, so doing maintenance. Yes. So let me explain the ride if you haven't seen it. So you sit in this car and then you're shot out at like 100 miles per hour and you go up this tall, tall tower and you go all the way up. And then for six seconds you hit zero gravity and it feels like you're floating and then you fall back down.

[Lizzy]

There's videos of people like holding a tennis ball and they release and it's just floating.

[Jared]

Oh, is this just like the ramp?

[Shane Dawson]

Yes.

[Jared]

Oh, I've done that a lot.

[Shane Dawson]

Okay. Yes. So that ride breaks down a lot. But when they're actually making the ride. So it's one of the only rides in the world that has like a zero gravity moment. And when they were making the ride, they were like having to, you know, test it and they were seeing how fast they could make that initial go. And they were like, oh, let's try 120. So they went and the car went off the track and had like water dummies in it. No way.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Shane Dawson]

Ended very badly. So they literally had to like figure out what was just the right speed before it would fly up the track. Which might be why it's always broken.

[Ryland Adams]

That's a no for me, dog.

[Shane Dawson]

But I want to ride it so bad. Look at this video of the zero gravity. It's insane. So this, the host of the show brought a banana cuz he wanted to test the theory. And this is what happened. Look for a weightless man, my banana. A Whoa.

[Lizzy]

How is he that chill up there?

[Shane Dawson]

I want to do it so bad.

[Jared]

My friends and I have done. Not bananas, but we've taken like marshmallows and we've taken things and we let go and we've all done that. It's incredible.

[Shane Dawson]

Yeah.

[Lizzy]

So that same ride is attached to Shane's favorite ride, which are the towers that go up and drop. So, like at Six Flags they connected that ride and it's the world's highest version of that ride.

[Shane Dawson]

Yes.

[Lizzy]

Thank God it was close the day we were at Six Flags because Shane would have dragged my ass on it. And I'm always so afraid of those because they get stuck at the top and I would have a full blown panic attack.

[Shane Dawson]

Well, this is on my bucket list for sure, but I don't know if it's ever coming back. Please, Six Flags. Bring it back. I don't care how dangerous it is.

[Lizzy]

What I care.

[Shane Dawson]

Okay, this next one was a rabbit hole. And Jared, you definitely know about this one. Number three, Fast and the Furious Supercharged.

[Sandy]

Oh, yeah. But literally, the creators of Fast and Furious, when they saw it, were like, get that the off of the lot. That's embarrassing.

[Lizzy]

What?

[Shane Dawson]

And then.

[Sandy]

Yeah, yeah. Well, I'm sure you have the info, but yeah, it was pretty. Pretty lame.

[Shane Dawson]

Okay. This is known as also being the worst ride of all time. And the only reason it's called that is because in Hollywood, it's a part of the end of the studio tour, right? Like, you get on the tram ride and at the very end of the tram, the tram guy will be like, okay, guys, we gotta do the Fast and the Furious.

[Lizzy]

Lizzie was having fun in it the other day.

[Chris]

It was so much fun.

[Shane Dawson]

It's living so stupid, so bad. It lasts like three minutes and all the girls shake.

[Jared]

There's been two Fast and the Furious things. There was one in the past and then one. Is it the older one?

[Shane Dawson]

No, no, this is a current. This is.

[Jared]

Well, the video I think you're talking about.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Shane Dawson]

Okay, so, yes, this is known for being the worst thing ever. But the reason it's now known as the worst attraction ever is because for some reason, even though everybody hates it in Hollywood and thinks it sucks and wants it off the tour, they created it as its own ride in Florida at Universal. Florida has its own line. You have to wait in line. Let me explain what it is. If you don't know.

[Ryland Adams]

Does anyone wait in the line?

[Shane Dawson]

Yes. Well, they want air conditioning. So literally, you go into this building, you're waiting in there, and there's like videos of, you know, ludicrous being like, they're on to us. We got a run. And then Vin Diesel comes in.

[Sandy]

He's like, hey, man, we got to do this family.

[Ryland Adams]

That was pretty good.

[Gabby]

Wow.

[Shane Dawson]

So then you get on this, like, car or tram, and you go into this. I hate the screen. You go into this big screen room, and a video starts playing of, you know, Fast and the Furious, and you're on the. You're on the run. And then Vin Diesel shows up and he jumps onto a helicopter and whatever. And then it ends and it sucks, and everybody hates it. So, yeah, people started riding it in Florida. They had a whole event, like a premiere for it, where Vin Diesel was.

[Sandy]

Like, family, welcome, family.

[Shane Dawson]

We're all here. Family. Who wants to be a part of the F? Family. They had, like, stunts outside and fire and, like, guys on motorcycles, like, going through building. Like, it was like, the ride is here. And then everybody wrote it and was like, what the was that? Like, it sucked so hard. So let me show you.

[Spencer]

Just.

[Shane Dawson]

Just for reference, here is a moment from the ride that I specifically am always shocked by. So there's a part where Vin Diesel jumps and hangs on to a helicopter.

[Sandy]

And he's like, bigger than it, which is weird.

[Shane Dawson]

Look at how stupid this looks. He's like, bigger than that. That sucks.

[Sandy]

It looks like. Remember that show on Nickelodeon, like, way back in the day where you would be in the arcade game? It was, like, part of it. It wasn't Legends of the Hidden Temple, but it was like you ran in the arcade game and you, like, jumped and you did all this stuff. It's what it looks like.

[Shane Dawson]

It literally looks like that. And all the actors in the movie hate each other. So, like, Vin Diesel, the Rock, they all hate each other, right? So they all had to film it separately on green screens, and they put them together. But there's a moment at the end of the ride where they're all four, like, sitting on a car and they're like, hey, you survived. Come with us.

[Spencer]

We're family now.

[Shane Dawson]

But they're not together.

[Jared]

No.

[Shane Dawson]

And they're all, like, looking past each other.

[Lizzy]

And the spaces are awkward too. You can tell. And then the tram drive drivers, like, yeah, you couldn't even believe that. They weren't even in the same room doing that.

[Shane Dawson]

It's so bad. So we just went to Universal and did it. And I was like, oh, this is so embarrassing. Spencer had never been to Universal, and I had to. I was like, spencer, this sucks. Like, get ready. This. Do not let this ruin Universal for you.

[Gabby]

Well, they also said we are one of the last people to ever do it.

[Shane Dawson]

Yes, it is officially. Guys, it is closed.

[Sandy]

Oh, good for that.

[Shane Dawson]

It is gone.

[Ryland Adams]

RIP Family still in Florida.

[Jared]

Another screen movie thing, are they.

[Shane Dawson]

No, I hope not. But they are coming up with a Fast and the Furious roller coaster that I'm very excited about. So hopefully that's better than this. Okay, number two, Sandy, get ready for this. I might offend you.

[Lizzy]

Oh, no, it's the railroad. Mickey's runaway railroad.

[Shane Dawson]

No, it is Disney California's soaring over California.

[Ryland Adams]

That one sucks.

[Lizzy]

Nobody ever lets me go on it to experience the suck for myself.

[Sandy]

I love that one.

[Chris]

It's so good.

[Shane Dawson]

This ride has a dark truth. This is crazy. This rabbit hole I fell down was crazy. I was telling Spencer about it the.

[Gabby]

Other day, and he was like, it is nuts.

[Shane Dawson]

You got to put that in the rabbit hole. Okay, so have you guys heard of Michael Eisner?

[Ryland Adams]

Kind of the.

[Sandy]

The president of Disney?

[Shane Dawson]

Yes. So he was the president CEO of Disney Disney Parks, and he was there to kind of rejuvenate the brand because they were kind of suffering. So it was his idea to create Disney California. So let me explain what that is. So if you guys don't know, Disneyland in California has been there forever. And it's this huge, beautiful park called the Magic Kingdom. But right next to Disneyland, there was this huge parking lot, and it was never full. It was so much space. And so Michael Eisner was like, we should make a second park. And here was his idea. He was like, okay, so people travel all over the world to come to Disneyland, but then they go to the beach, they go to Universal Studios. They want to go see the Golden Gate Bridge. They want to go to, you know, San Francisco. They want to go to Catalina, they want to go to all these places, all that. What if we just create a second park where we just show them all that crap and we call it Disney California? And now they gotta go anywhere. They could just stay at Disney the whole time.

[Lizzy]

Genius.

[Chris]

Great idea.

[Shane Dawson]

Let's steal all the tourist attractions from all of California and put it all in one place. How do we do that? Okay, well, we'll have a little Hollywood center. So now they don't have to go to Hollywood. They can just come Disney California and ride superstar limo.

[Gabby]

They see Drew Carey. They don't have to go find.

[Shane Dawson]

They don't have to go far. Oh, they want to go to the beach. Eh, the beach. They can come to the pier area where it's like, there is the beach. They just took sections of California. And they're like, well, but that's not big enough. How do we get them to experience all the other places? How about we do a ride where they just fly over all of California, see all the hot spots, and now they don't have to go there. So that's what Soarin over California is a fucking.

[Lizzy]

You just sold me on it.

[Sandy]

It's amazing. And they also pump smells into the air so it smells like you're in these places.

[Ryland Adams]

That's what I hate about it, because it doesn't actually smell like you're in those places. It just smells like you're getting like, waterboarded with, like, citrus sometimes.

[Shane Dawson]

Yes. So Soarin Over California, which they called it a tribute.

[Spencer]

It's a tribute to California.

[Shane Dawson]

The whole park is a tribute to California. No, it's not. They just don't want you to go out and actually explore California. They just want you to stay there and stay at the resort and never leave. But this actually didn't work. When Disney California launched, a lot of went wrong. Superstar Limo obviously was a flop. Nobody was going to Disney California. I remember this when we were little, nobody even in our class even wanted to go. Like, it was something that was kind of a joke to people. They were like, eh, why would we go there? We live in California.

[Spencer]

Who cares?

[Chris]

Me personally, I think it got so popular is when they started bringing in like, the different foods and like, more mainstream rides. I don't think it's so much like California Adventure. It's just like, cool they have cars ride there. I mean, the cars ride alone brought so many people.

[Shane Dawson]

Right.

[Sandy]

And I feel like it's also become more of like the adult area at Disney in general, you know?

[Shane Dawson]

Yeah.

[Chris]

People just go because they have really good. Some would say they have better food than. Than Disneyland.

[Shane Dawson]

And that would be the.

[Lizzy]

Some would be us.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Ryland Adams]

I love eating.

[Chris]

I agree, too. And they also have, like, alcohol beverages too.

[Shane Dawson]

And they also have roller coasters that break every day.

[Sandy]

Yeah.

[Chris]

Who doesn't like that?

[Shane Dawson]

I'm not either.

[Sandy]

Yeah, but that's very California.

[Shane Dawson]

That's true.

[Sandy]

Right?

[Shane Dawson]

That's so true.

[Sandy]

Hey, you want to come to California? Sometimes you get stuck.

[Gabby]

Yeah. If it's raining, things will break, right?

[Shane Dawson]

Yeah.

[Spencer]

Right.

[Chris]

It's giving you a little bit of raining.

[Ryland Adams]

It's too bright. There's going to be a problem.

[Shane Dawson]

Okay. We've made it to number one. This is so insane. This is supposedly the scariest attraction of all time. Like, scientifically, this scared people more than any ride ever. And it was at Disney World, and it's no longer there because they had to take it out. Have you guys heard of Extraterrestrial Alien Encounter?

[Gabby]

No.

[Chris]

No?

[Spencer]

No?

[Shane Dawson]

None of you have heard about this? Okay, so this is insane. So this was in the Magic. Magic Kingdom, which is, like, the happy part, right? It's where the castle is. It's where all the little kitty rides are. Like the Magic Kingdom. It's fun. Well, they put in the scariest attraction of all time. Let me show you some pictures of.

[Spencer]

What it looks like.

[Shane Dawson]

Okay, before I show you this, let.

[Spencer]

Me explain how the seating is.

[Shane Dawson]

So you walk into this room, and in the middle of the room, there's a big glass tube.

[Spencer]

Oh, that's interesting.

[Shane Dawson]

And around it, it's a bunch of seats with harnesses, like.

[Spencer]

Oh, okay, interesting.

[Shane Dawson]

So you all sit down in a circle, and then everybody puts these huge harnesses, straps it onto them. They can't move. And then inside of the tube, a fucking alien appears. And the alien appears. And then the tube breaks. All the lights in the room go out. And an alien runs around the room and tries to fucking eat you. And let me show you the pictures of what this looks like. That is what the fucking room looks like. Like, with the alien in the center. That's in the. That. This is literally like my nightmares.

[Jared]

It's scarier than I thought it is.

[Shane Dawson]

So. Chris, it is so scary. Wait, that's what the actual alien puppet looks like.

[Lizzy]

And you're in, like, stadium seating that they strap you in strapped in. Why do they think you're going to get out and do something crazy?

[Ryland Adams]

Okay.

[Shane Dawson]

Yes.

[Jared]

Stampede.

[Shane Dawson]

So here's the thing. So the. It's not a ride. You're not moving. You're not going anywhere.

[Lizzy]

Yeah. So why the are you strapped in for safety?

[Shane Dawson]

Because it's so scary that they're afraid that people will be running in the dark to the exits and trampling over each other. Yes, because that's how terrifying it is. So imagine this. You're in there, right? You're a kid. You're seven years old. You put on this strap. Seven years old, alien appears in front of you, right? The craziest thing I've ever seen out of my nightmares. And then all the lights go out and there's voices all over the.

[Spencer]

All over the room.

[Shane Dawson]

And these. They have crazy, like, technology that makes it sound like, you know, it's right next to you. And you.

[Sandy]

Yeah, something like that.

[Shane Dawson]

And you have a military guy going, run. Get to cover.

[Ryland Adams]

It's coming.

[Shane Dawson]

And they literally Carry. Literally on the ride, they say, hurry, get out before it eats someone. That's what they say on the ride. And then it's running. So then they shake the harnesses to make it seem like the alien is running across your chest. And they have smells, they have water spray at you to seem like it's blood. Like they made it seem like somebody gets eaten in the audience. And then blood sprays on you.

[Lizzy]

Well, now I feel like we're missing out.

[Shane Dawson]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Gabby]

Honestly, I'm ready.

[Ryland Adams]

Turn the lights out.

[Shane Dawson]

Let me show you a commercial. Of what? This ride. This is how they were promoting this ride. Oh, my God. So scary.

[Gabby]

Oh, my God.

[Ryland Adams]

Was that a little girl?

[Shane Dawson]

Yes. What the. Okay, so this ride was so scary and so traumatic that. Let me read you some reviews.

[Jared]

This is scarier than anything at Horror Nights.

[Shane Dawson]

Anything I've ever seen, Chris. And it's in the Magic Kingdom. So these are some reviews. I did this as a 17 year old. It was intense, as others have said. You felt hot breath, you felt spit, and you felt blood. It was very loud. And most of it was all in your head because your room would go pitch black. When it's pitch black and the alien is supposed to be flying around and stalking everyone in the room, the harness on your chair comes down on your shoulders and makes it seem like it landed on you. People screamed the entire.

[Gabby]

I love this.

[Lizzy]

I feel like this is what horror movies should be, right?

[Ryland Adams]

They should be alien and aliens.

[Lizzy]

They should have kept this theater so you can have, like, that sort of sensory experience.

[Shane Dawson]

But it's too scary. Being strapped in and unable to move in the dark. I can't even imagine. And not only that, children's biggest fear is being trapped.

[Chris]

The boogeyman.

[Shane Dawson]

The dark. Yeah. So you're taking their biggest fear, which is trapped in the dark, and they're strapped in. Right. So the ride was actually around for a while, and it was known for being, like, a problem, like traumatizing kids. Kids would be, like, hysterically crying. Their parents would be like, we don't know what to do. Like, it was causing a lot of issues. Right. So finally they reskinned it, which I'm so sad. I want to write it. But they had to reskin it. So they thought, okay, how do we make this more fun and more, like, you know, more for little kids? How do we do that? So they came up with the idea of soaring California. I wish they came up with the idea of turning it into. To Stitch. Oh, no. No way. Stitch breaks out.

[Gabby]

Oh, yeah.

[Shane Dawson]

And Stitch Runs around.

[Gabby]

I remember doing this as a kid.

[Shane Dawson]

You do?

[Gabby]

I remember Stitch. Yeah.

[Shane Dawson]

Well, guess what? It was even more traumatizing because their kids are seeing their favorite character, and then all the lights go out and he starts running around, and you're strapped in and he's spitting on you, and he's like, crawling on you, and there's people yelling. And it was just as traumatizing. Cuz is not the alien. It's being strapped in the dark.

[Lizzy]

Why do they need to keep the straps?

[Shane Dawson]

I don't know.

[Ryland Adams]

For safety.

[Sandy]

Turn the lights on, I think also the straps are probably interactive with, like, you feeling the experience. Like, maybe, like, it goes, you know, and it feels like it just ran across.

[Shane Dawson]

But they could have just made your seats do that. Like the Shrek ride. They wanted you strapped in. Wow. Yeah. Insane. So the Stitch ride was actually around for, like, 15 years. Like, it lasted a while while. Then the pandemic hit. They took it out, but it's still there. They just took the sign down and the building is now closed. There's, like, other rides in that building, but that ride specifically is closed. Right. So somebody broke in, and they filmed it. It's on YouTube. And they saw that this room still exists. So in this building, there's this room with this tube and all the seats around it, and it's just sitting there with this stitch animatronic that looks like, off, and it's just like this. And it's like, crazy, right? So I was looking at Reddit and I guess some Disney employees have said, oh, yeah, it's a break room. So now, like, we just sit and, like, eat our lunch, like, staring at this crazy thing. And, like, sometimes we take a nap in the room.

[Ryland Adams]

That's so.

[Shane Dawson]

Isn't that insane? That's crap.

[Gabby]

That's crazy.

[Spencer]

The videos of it.

[Shane Dawson]

There's, like, videos online, like old VHS videos, and it sounds like hell. Like, everybody is screaming at the top of their lungs in agony. They're like, get me out, Mom. Like, it's a craziest rabbit hole. It's insane.

[Ryland Adams]

Can we recreate this in the living room right now?

[Shane Dawson]

Can you imagine?

[Ryland Adams]

Spencer runs around, spits on all of us.

[Gabby]

I have a little spray boat.

[Ryland Adams]

He's, like, shaking all of us one by one.

[Shane Dawson]

Well, there you guys go. That was my top five of the craziest, darkest, weirdest rides. I love doing this. If you guys want more of these, let me know in the comments.

[Ryland Adams]

More listicles.

[Shane Dawson]

Listicles. I just love, like, this. And it's very fascinating to Me.

[Jared]

So that made me think of all the rides that I missed that no longer exist. Like, I love Back to the Future at Universal and create your own mystical.

[Lizzy]

Save it for the next episode. You're right. Oh, Crystal. Of the five rides, you guys could do a sipsticle.

[Shane Dawson]

Whoa, check out the Patreon.

[Lizzy]

10%.

[Shane Dawson]

All right, well, we're gonna take a quick little break, and when we come back, the dress will be revealed.

[Ryland Adams]

I'm scared.

[Shane Dawson]

We're gonna turn the lights off, and Rylan's gonna run around in the dress on us. Get ready.

[Spencer]

Hi, my name is Shane, and if you're like me, you might have in.

[Shane Dawson]

The past, paid quite a lot of.

[Spencer]

Money monthly for weird apps that you forgot existed. Whether it was the app that turned your face into a piece of bubble gum or the app that turned your.

[Shane Dawson]

Voice into an alien, these were all.

[Spencer]

Maybe about one to two dollars a month. You forgot to end your trial.

[Shane Dawson]

They all started adding up.

[Spencer]

And then you realize, oh, my God, you're paying a lot of money a.

[Shane Dawson]

Month for really stupid apps that nobody should be paying for.

[Spencer]

Well, luckily, somebody is coming through to save the day. And that somebody.

[Shane Dawson]

Oh, that somebody's on a rocket.

[Spencer]

Bye.

[Shane Dawson]

Hey, what's up, you guys? Welcome back. Okay.

[Spencer]

The time has come.

[Shane Dawson]

Three years of fighting. 15 years of the world fighting.

[Ryland Adams]

I do not claim the energy in that bag.

[Jared]

I feel like this is going to cause another fight.

[Lizzy]

I'm so chok. I'm a chill, confident girl.

[Sandy]

The package that Lizzy couldn't get, could you imagine?

[Lizzy]

That would have been a disaster.

[Shane Dawson]

Are we ready to unbox the dress?

[Sandy]

Yes.

[Ryland Adams]

The way my heart's throbbing.

[Shane Dawson]

Oh my God. Oh my God. I'm so nervous. It's gold and here it's white.

[Gabby]

Amazing.

[Shane Dawson]

Here is the dress. I cannot believe I'm holding this.

[Ryland Adams]

It is golden white. That's crazy.

[Lizzy]

That is wild.

[Shane Dawson]

I cannot believe I'm holding this.

[Lizzy]

I'm holding the dress the whiter.

[Jared]

That's like the actual one from the photo.

[Ryland Adams]

Yes. Don't you see the gold and the white?

[Spencer]

Is it.

[Lizzy]

I don't know. It was the one Ellen got her hands on. On.

[Shane Dawson]

Really?

[Sandy]

Ellen touched it.

[Lizzy]

I don't even know that I'd fit in that. That woman is snatched.

[Jared]

It doesn't look anything like the photo.

[Lizzy]

It's an ugly dress.

[Shane Dawson]

Really. This is like the photo came to life.

[Ryland Adams]

I literally wore basically that dress for my 21st birthday. But it was white and black.

[Lizzy]

The body con dresses.

[Jared]

This is the crazy part. When you see this, you see the same thing as when you see the photo.

[Shane Dawson]

Yes.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Shane Dawson]

Blue and black.

[Ryland Adams]

That exact bloom.

[Jared]

That's so crazy.

[Shane Dawson]

I'm pretty sure the girl I went to problem with worth. Now that I'm looking back, I'll try to find the picture but that's insane. What do you see?

[Jared]

I feel. I feel gas lit cuz like okay, this looks a hundred percent worlds apart different than the photo to me. To me they don't even look like it. Like feels like a weird lie.

[Shane Dawson]

It Feels like Rylan.

[Lizzy]

It looks like this is dressed to me. It's a different color than the photo, but it's the color that I knew it would be.

[Gabby]

But that.

[Jared]

But that's what I'm saying. The color like this is obviously black and blue. There's no debating. Like, it's very clear. But the photo's white and gold.

[Shane Dawson]

Well, so see the photo again. You know, listen, as much as I do think AI is going to take over the world and kill us all, I do trust it. And I do think that AI knows more than us. So why don't we have someone ask AI what they think the color of the dress is? I'm gonna ask ChatGPT if this dress is actually black and blue or white and gold.

[Jared]

Ever since I saw this photo for.

[Shane Dawson]

The first time, I've always seen it as black and blue. I see. What? Analyze the pixels.

[Jared]

That's crazy. It's a different dress entirely.

[Shane Dawson]

You don't see it's white and gold.

[Jared]

It's white gold.

[Ryland Adams]

I saw black and blue that time.

[Chris]

It's always been black and blue.

[Jared]

It's like you to me, like, I see like this color and like a lighter.

[Gabby]

This color.

[Lizzy]

Yeah, there's no. You guys are liars.

[Shane Dawson]

Okay, so I don't know what the color of the dress actually is, but to put an end to all of this debate, I'm gonna ask ChatGPT to analyze the photo and see what color color it says it is. Can you analyze this photo and tell me what colors are pictured here? Okay, let's see. If it says white and gold, it's somehow still recognized it. Objectively, what color is the dress? The actual physical dress is blue and black. AI could be gaslighting us, but let me know what you guys see down.

[Lizzy]

In the physical dress is. Yes, they didn't say that photo.

[Ryland Adams]

But I switch back and forth on it. What I see. Yeah. So when they pulled it up on that thing, it's like I saw white and gold and black and blue and all the options. That's why it all shows up. That color. Color.

[Shane Dawson]

I literally only see black and blue.

[Lizzy]

I mean, the dresses. Matter of fact, about black and blue. The photo shows white and gold, but.

[Ryland Adams]

I think it's an optical thing. Like there's something up with everybody's eyes and the way that they perceive it, but it doesn't mean that.

[Shane Dawson]

What?

[Ryland Adams]

That our reality is fake.

[Jared]

I. I just. I want to see blue and black, white and gold.

[Shane Dawson]

Right? To exist right here.

[Jared]

No, in the photo there. I see it.

[Shane Dawson]

Yeah.

[Ryland Adams]

Is there something.

[Chris]

Yeah, it's black and blue.

[Ryland Adams]

But what do you see here?

[Shane Dawson]

Here.

[Lizzy]

Blue and black.

[Ryland Adams]

Right. But that's.

[Lizzy]

We all know it was in some sort of funky lighting.

[Shane Dawson]

The picture just. Okay, let's move on. Has been. It is done. We have seen. It is black and blue.

[Lizzy]

Get out of the room.

[Ryland Adams]

Spencer, remove the dress. I just spit everywhere.

[Chris]

Bad GG vibes. Bad GG vibes.

[Shane Dawson]

We are. I like the stretchiness. We are going to her away said never. See.

[Ryland Adams]

Can you imagine if Jill's like, don't send that back to me.

[Jared]

Crazy. We had the dress.

[Shane Dawson]

Is that insane?

[Jared]

Here.

[Shane Dawson]

Okay.

[Ryland Adams]

It's like the ring from the Lord of the Rings. Like, I just feel, like, negative power from it. Should I go scream at an innocent person in the streets right now?

[Shane Dawson]

Okay. All right. I'm gonna show you something that I cannot believe is real. I knew it was real, but I just didn't visualize it until the this moment.

[Gabby]

Now look at all those little dots.

[Unknown]

Yeah. What do you. What are you seeing?

[Shane Dawson]

These are all the satellites.

[Unknown]

I'm assuming those are just Starlink satellites.

[Shane Dawson]

Those are just Starlink, yeah.

[Gabby]

Okay.

[Shane Dawson]

Wow.

[Unknown]

And astronomers are getting kind of worried about this. So SpaceX has put well over 7,000 Starlink satellites into space since 2019.

[Shane Dawson]

Holy.

[Unknown]

The goal is to have more than 40,000. And they're not the only ones who want to do this. So this is one of those, like, proper hockey stick charts. It shows the annual number of objects launched into space.

[Gabby]

Yeah.

[Jared]

Wow.

[Unknown]

And this is just the beginning. So China has two projects planned that would add at least 20,000 more satellites. Amazon wants their own network, the EU ATT. If they all get their way, there would be hundreds of thousands of satellites in low earth orbit. I mean, the thing that's a little.

[Shane Dawson]

Misleading with these graphics, those are just satellites. And here's a crazy part. To our eyes, eyes here on Earth, they look like stars.

[Jared]

Oh, my God.

[Shane Dawson]

So when you look up in the sky, I saw this clip going viral. I don't know what movie it's from, but there was a clip where a woman was saying, you know what's crazy is our generation is the last generation.

[Spencer]

To look up in the sky and.

[Shane Dawson]

Know for a fact they're looking at stars. Because now kids are gonna grow up and they're not gonna know, is it a star or is it a star link?

[Chris]

Wow.

[Shane Dawson]

Isn't that insane?

[Jared]

That's sick.

[Ryland Adams]

And the Doomsday clock ticks clicker to mind mirror. I shut down.

[Shane Dawson]

It's the dress. Blame the dress. It's the dress. But isn't that the point has happened like. Listen, I know it's important, first of all, I know it's important to have good Internet and we, we.

[Lizzy]

Well, no, that's not. They're doing.

[Ryland Adams]

Then why is my service so bad all the time?

[Shane Dawson]

Right.

[Lizzy]

No, the, I mean what they're doing with satellites is much more than Internet. They're able to spy on and do a lot of things.

[Shane Dawson]

Yeah. How are they even going to fly a rocket out into space? They're going to hit a million satellites. Well, don't worry, maybe the satellites are going to take over and kill us. But AI, they're only getting more human because recently a study was done that shows that AI robots now suffer from anxiety. No.

[Ryland Adams]

Anxiety.

[Shane Dawson]

Oh yes. New research that was done at the University of Zurich suggests that advanced AI systems like ChatGPT may be experiencing something resembling anxiety.

[Ryland Adams]

Good.

[Shane Dawson]

So the anxiety was raised when they were confronted with disturbing scenarios. The groundbreaking study found that CHAT GBT displayed measurable increases in stress indicators after exposure to five traumatic scenarios. So this is happening Then they showed the CHAT GPT different stress reducing things like mindfulness, relaxation techniques. And they found that ChatGPT stress levels went down.

[Chris]

Wow.

[Jared]

I have to go.

[Shane Dawson]

What the is happening? What the is happening? If you're giving AI the capability, it is so far gone now, it is literally getting into this next thing that we're going to talk about which. Did you hear about what's happening with China?

[Ryland Adams]

No, China.

[Shane Dawson]

China, while China supports, supposedly just a theory, has created AGI, which we talked about in my last main channel conspiracy video back in. What was that like November, October, about AI and the next step, which is AGI, Artificial general intelligence. Once AGI happens, like once it turns on, we're, we are done, it is over. Once AI can think for itself, can problem solve for itself, starts getting anxiety, things like that, we're done. So supposedly China has figured it out. They have a new AI agent called Manus. And here is just a quick little.

[Spencer]

Video of what it can do.

[Lizzy]

Hi, I'm Pete from Manus AI. For the past year we've been quietly.

[Shane Dawson]

Building what we believe is the next evolution in AI.

[Lizzy]

And today we're launching an early preview of Manus, the first general AI agent. This isn't just another chat bottle workflow. It's a truly autonomous agent that bridges the gap between consistency, perception and execution. While other AI stops at generating ideas, Manus delivers results.

[Shane Dawson]

We see it as the next paradigm.

[Lizzy]

Of human machine collaboration and potentially a.

[Shane Dawson]

Glimpse into AGI, now let me show you manus in action across three completely different tasks. Okay, so here's basically what it can do. It can perform complete tasks. You can give this manus a task. You can actually give this manus multiple tasks and it can do all of them at the the same time. You can even close your computer, close your laptop. It's still working. Like it doesn't even need to be on. It doesn't even need your computer to continue working.

[Lizzy]

It'll find you with the results.

[Ryland Adams]

Has anyone asked China to just like not.

[Shane Dawson]

Well, that's.

[Lizzy]

None of you will stop using Tik Tok.

[Ryland Adams]

Well, girl, I haven't used Tik Tok since before birth.

[Shane Dawson]

Wow. Yeah, so that's the thing, right? So the AI currently up until this point like Chat GPT, that's just like a, an AI chatbot. You ask a question, it gives you an answer. It can't do multiple things at once. AGI is when it can do multiple things at once. There's a video online, I thought I saved it. I don't have it here, but it shows what it looks like, where the Mantis is doing like 20 million things on 20 million different phones at the same time. And it's fucking insane. And it's happening so fast right now. OpenAI, which created ChatGPT, they now have a new feature where they will charge you $20,000 a month for you to have a PhD level chatbot. So basically you can pay $20,000 to get the smartest AI ever to do whatever you want for you and your work. Like that's crazy.

[Sandy]

Am I talking to a dumb AI when I'm on chat?

[Shane Dawson]

Yes. What that means they have. That means if they're charging that already, that means whatever they have that they're holding secret is so powerful, it's insane.

[Spencer]

And now that China has announced.

[Shane Dawson]

Hey, guess what? What? Guys, we're real close to AGI. Maybe we almost even there. OpenAI is going to start to open the floodgates.

[Lizzy]

Are there any reviews on that 20k a month 1.

[Shane Dawson]

I don't know who's actually pull up the Yelp.

[Sandy]

Are they finally going to tell me if aliens are real?

[Shane Dawson]

I fucking Hope so.

[Jared]

Here's OpenAI reportedly plans to release AI agents priced up to $20,000 per month. These aren't your average chatbots. They're autonomous systems designed for specialized professional tasks. The most expensive tier costs $20,000 per month and delivers PhD level research capabilities analyzing complex data in hours instead of weeks for $10,000 monthly. Developers get an agent that writes and debugs code autonomously. Even the budget option costs $2,000 monthly targeting high income professionals.

[Shane Dawson]

So yeah, it's getting, it's going so fast and I feel like it's something that we were talking about and then everybody kind of just like stopped talking about it. No, we need to talk about it because I'm serious, once it fucking snaps, it's over.

[Ryland Adams]

Just don't.

[Lizzy]

Well, it seems like they might do our taxes for us.

[Chris]

It's just crazy that it's just one step closer.

[Ryland Adams]

This is what I hate about him so much.

[Chris]

He's like, whatever, we're all going to get fucking murdered.

[Ryland Adams]

Who cares?

[Chris]

But this is just one step closer to like a full blown bot just walking around and like taking away.

[Ryland Adams]

Well, that bot doesn't even have to walk around.

[Chris]

Well, no, soon it will.

[Shane Dawson]

Well, check out this video of Tana. Mojo, get ready with me for an AI.

[Unknown]

Okay, as you can see guys, my skin is glowing. But let's cut to the chase. How scary would it be if these AI tools ended up in the wrong hands? I mean, look at her. She is a real AI influencer. Her lip sync is on.

[Shane Dawson]

Literally.

[Ryland Adams]

Tana would never talk like that.

[Shane Dawson]

This is insane. I mean we've already showed this, this talked about deepfakes, but it's getting to a point now where you can literally. There's literally guys who create girl influencers and just pretend to be them. That is only fans and everything and it's not real.

[Jared]

I know I'm a broken record at this point, but like the fact that I grew up watching movies warning about this and I know like, and a new one that I've been thinking about is because people are talking about like how Chad GBT takes up so much energy and that's why it's bad for the environment or something. Like with this new one that's going to use way more energy than chat GPT. Like how are, how are you going to sustain that much energy? Is that how the Matrix happens? Where they start using people as batteries? You know what I mean?

[Shane Dawson]

Well, it is weird that that's what.

[Ryland Adams]

The Matrix is about. They're using people as batteries.

[Shane Dawson]

Yes. Yes.

[Lizzy]

Spoiler alert.

[Ryland Adams]

Wow.

[Shane Dawson]

And I think I cut this out of the main channel video because I was really scared of getting shoed.

[Ryland Adams]

So I'll say it here by the Matrix.

[Shane Dawson]

Listen, this is just theory, but it is interesting that how you know. So yes, when they do do need more power, they're gonna have to build all these huge AI plants Basically power plants, and they'll use humans to, you know, cool it down and things like that. So. But they're gonna need all this land across the United States to do that. Which I thought, you know, it with all the fake fruit things going on, there was like a theory that, like, maybe a certain powerful person bought all the farmland to control the foods we were eating. But wait, but now that person.

[Spencer]

Maybe they bought all the farmland to.

[Shane Dawson]

Turn it into power plants. Because now that person.

[Gabby]

Well, I have a totally separate thought. Microsoft is actually expanding their AI program with like a $50 billion expansion, which is just totally separate.

[Shane Dawson]

Thought I just had open AI, Right?

[Gabby]

Yeah, yeah.

[Shane Dawson]

And I think. Didn't they say that they need to make a bunch of power plants? But where are they going to make.

[Gabby]

I don't know, but who knows?

[Jared]

But has anyone at Microsoft seen the Matrix? We go to war with the machines.

[Ryland Adams]

That kill us all. Like, watch the movie.

[Chris]

Great. Well, now we don't have to.

[Lizzy]

They seem so nice.

[Ryland Adams]

The movie's not the point, Sandy.

[Shane Dawson]

We're all gonna die.

[Gabby]

I saw a stat that kids that are like, like babies now are spent gonna spend 93% of their life looking at a screen of, like their waking life. Yeah. I mean, think about it. Like, think about day to day.

[Lizzy]

Like, it's every.

[Shane Dawson]

Every.

[Gabby]

If you work on a laptop, you know, that's like a huge part of your day.

[Ryland Adams]

Yeah.

[Gabby]

You're on your phone, you blah, blah, blah, you're watching tv. Like, think about the amount of time you're actually looking at a screen during the day.

[Chris]

Well, and even in elementary now, all is use screens. In high school, all they do is even though they have to provide an act, the book, the physical book, but most kids just use their Chromebooks, and.

[Sandy]

Then whoever controls the AI controls all the information that's being put out into all of these screens.

[Ryland Adams]

And what's so frustrating is like, as a parent, you want to not have to do that, but in order to participate in society, you have to do that.

[Shane Dawson]

Oh, my God. That brings me to the theory that you were talking to me about. And I was like, oh, my God, save it for the podcast. We got a bunch of emails about this.

[Ryland Adams]

We're talking about the program.

[Shane Dawson]

Yeah.

[Ryland Adams]

Are you familiar with the program in schools?

[Shane Dawson]

Yes, it was the. That one.

[Ryland Adams]

Yes. There. It's like there's a bunch of different programs that have different names, but all of it was under the guise of the government is providing extra time to students that they think are more equipped to succeed.

[Shane Dawson]

There was the weird. I Remember, like the weird tests.

[Ryland Adams]

Yes. So this. They used to test us in the 90s. At least I remember being tested. They would do a bunch of weird tests. Sometimes they would even say that they were doing a hearing test or an eye test. And because I don't want to be sued, I'm scared now.

[Spencer]

Just a theory.

[Ryland Adams]

Just a theory that when you put on those. And by the way, like, I don't know, can you still see like the, the hearing test. They take you to a portable that they like.

[Sandy]

Yeah.

[Chris]

It's like a trailer.

[Shane Dawson]

Yeah.

[Ryland Adams]

So you go into the portable. You sit down at a place, there's cards up so you can't see the person sitting next to you. There's like no windows around. They say, sit into this little tiny cubicle that we've made. And there's like a box. It almost looks like a 1980s like plastic briefcase. That's like a box.

[Shane Dawson]

Yeah.

[Ryland Adams]

And they put it down and you put on these like old ass like headphones. And then a voice comes on and it's like a man's voice from the 50s and it says something like, all right, the voice you're about to hear is just in your right ear. Get ready for a hearing test made just for you.

[Shane Dawson]

You should be hearing my voice in your right ear.

[Ryland Adams]

They are saying, this is not a hearing test. That is actually the beginning of a hypnosis. What very famously used by a lot of people. So I'm gonna butcher all of this a little bit. But when it came to world. The Cold War, that's like around that same time this organization started, which was, I think was called the National Defense Education act was created, which links education to national defense, which is weird. And they started funding programs for gifted children. Children around that time. Like when I was in elementary school was the early 90s and my friend Haley actually was in. I was in. Which is a different thing, but it's because I didn't take the test seriously. But she doesn't remember much from the program at all because when I started, I was like, you were in, right? She goes, yeah. I go, where the, where was it? She goes, you know, it was in like a small room off the library, I think. But like, I don't really remember much about it.

[Shane Dawson]

It.

[Ryland Adams]

And that's the thing most kids and don't remember very much about.

[Shane Dawson]

I was in it. What? I think I was in it. I took.

[Spencer]

There was the hearing test.

[Ryland Adams]

Yeah.

[Shane Dawson]

There was a weird like flash card test. Yeah. Where it was like, you're predicting the car.

[Ryland Adams]

Yes.

[Shane Dawson]

Predicting the car.

[Ryland Adams]

Okay. You might have been. Because this is something that all the kids remember. So they.

[Shane Dawson]

They would do a nerd rope.

[Ryland Adams]

They all. Everybody, Everybody talks about the ropes and the different colored ropes and how you're supposed to. Oh my God. You're like, literally, my nipples are so hard right now. Do you also feel like you've had like. Do you have reoccurring dreams where you.

[Shane Dawson]

Feel like, I can't do this right now. Okay, keep going, Keep going.

[Ryland Adams]

Do you want me to leave you alone?

[Shane Dawson]

Keep going.

[Ryland Adams]

Do you have like reoccurring dreams where you feel like you're like. To some degree they're predictive of the future and then something happens that you.

[Shane Dawson]

All the time. My life is that I literally. I've had all these weird moments and then the next day I meet them. This is crazy. Keep going.

[Ryland Adams]

Okay, so did they give you a tiny, like a weird little pink drink? Do you remember getting a little pink drink?

[Shane Dawson]

I thought that was to test my blood sugar.

[Ryland Adams]

No. So everybody literally like, can you see my nipples?

[Shane Dawson]

What is going on?

[Ryland Adams]

Everybody in the program remembers getting a little pink drink. And after that pink drink, they don't remember much else until something like this happens. And there's an exchange and they're like, no, I remember this and I remember the weird shapes. And they would show me these cards and they'd want me to know what was on the next card before I saw the card. So I was like predicting what was on the card. And they would put something in a box and I'd have to know what.

[Shane Dawson]

Was in the box.

[Ryland Adams]

And they'd make me wear 3D glasses, like one red eye, one blue eye. And I that.

[Lizzy]

Yeah.

[Ryland Adams]

So all of that, they believe the theory says, is is an educational program that's inspired by or directly linked to the MK Ultra program. And the MK Ultra program was when they were around with mind control and psychedelic drugs and like the men who talk to goats. And also I would say stranger things, cuz all of this sounds a lot like what happened to 11? Everybody who was in the. Not everybody. But like most people I've spoken to don't remember a thing about it. They have all those things that you remember. They think that was the hearing and seeing tests in school.

[Lizzy]

And so what was their goal? What did they want to prep these kids for?

[Ryland Adams]

They wanted to prep these kids to start learning how to. Which you later did in a video. Astral projection.

[Shane Dawson]

Yes.

[Ryland Adams]

100% astral projection. And that thing that you did where he guessed Cheesecake Factory remote Viewing. Remote viewing. Yes. So all of the kids that they were throw up.

[Shane Dawson]

Yeah.

[Ryland Adams]

And then. And it's crazy cuz I was thinking about that on the way over here.

[Jared]

Stressed.

[Ryland Adams]

And so the point was because they were worried about all these things going on. Like this was the educational defense system that they were putting together because kids have like a thinner veil and are more open and more suggestible and the extension of this where it becomes a little cuckoo nuts.

[Shane Dawson]

Okay.

[Ryland Adams]

Is some. Well, so like, honestly, like I'm with the theory to this point because I know that the government does weird stuff and I know that they get like creative about things. Like there's a bunch of private companies that their, their sole existence is to be creative and come up with weird weapons, like different weapons development things. Like that's their sole function and purpose. So of course someone's going to think like, oh, let's tap into the next generation.

[Shane Dawson]

Yeah.

[Ryland Adams]

The step further is that they believe that these kids were specifically being taught how to communicate with aliens.

[Shane Dawson]

Oh my God. God. You. I. Jared, I have talked about this experience on the podcast before and in real life when I was really young and I saw three gray aliens outside of our bedroom window. I was on the top bunk and it like scarred me for life. And mom told me they were guardian angels and I freaked. The. Oh my God.

[Ryland Adams]

You have shared that on this podcast.

[Shane Dawson]

I'm going to cry.

[Ryland Adams]

Wait, what the is wrong with. No, like literally a lot of the kids also like, that's another one of the.

[Shane Dawson]

How many times have not to make this.

[Ryland Adams]

And they say gray alien.

[Shane Dawson]

But how, Spencer, how many times have I said, I think aliens are going to contact me. We need to get a camera. I've been like, that's going to happen and we're going to fucking film that.

[Ryland Adams]

So crazy.

[Jared]

I'm chills.

[Shane Dawson]

I'm going to throw up.

[Jared]

I'm so stressed. Your cat had to come.

[Lizzy]

Do I need to leave you? Like the dress needs to leave us. I don't want to be around for the aliens.

[Ryland Adams]

But yeah, so that's the thought. The thought is that they were teaching them how to astral project into like conference rooms with aliens.

[Lizzy]

Are the aliens going to be nice?

[Ryland Adams]

Ask him. It seems like he knows.

[Lizzy]

Well, I'm just trying to decide if.

[Shane Dawson]

I'm so obsessed weirdly into aliens. This is so weird.

[Ryland Adams]

Well, and I asked another friend of mine because her husband was like, yeah, I'm pretty sure that I was abducted as a child. And I was like, I hit her up. And I was like, yo, was Your husband in the program too?

[Shane Dawson]

He wasn't.

[Ryland Adams]

I was.

[Lizzy]

What if that's why you're so into this genre of thing. Conspiracy.

[Shane Dawson]

This is the weirdest day of my life.

[Ryland Adams]

No, that's actually making me pretty uncomfortable to.

[Shane Dawson]

Somebody in the last podcast left a comment that freaked me out, and it was like, does anybody else think Shane has a lot, like, too many weird, like, string theories?

[Jared]

I saw that comment.

[Shane Dawson]

Did you see that?

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Shane Dawson]

And then I was like, what is that? So I started Googling. It's like people who have these weird things that happen that are, like, orchestrated and weird.

[Lizzy]

You have so many. Even, like, just seeing me in a video on YouTube being like, I'm gonna marry him, or, like, you know, will be like, just a lot of crazy coincidences with random people that come into your life.

[Spencer]

This is all really weird.

[Shane Dawson]

So now what? What happens to me?

[Ryland Adams]

I don't know.

[Shane Dawson]

Cool. So I think in. In conclusion, we need to trust my opinion. Dress.

[Lizzy]

What do the aliens think?

[Ryland Adams]

It's just interesting you called it an opinion.

[Shane Dawson]

Thank you. Well, I'm gonna look into that later. Maybe do a video about. That's very crazy. You should look into this. Just a theory. Don't come for me. Well, speaking of things that get my mind off things, it's time for a recap. Good answer. Light, camera, action. Rylan's recap is about to happen.

[Lizzy]

Ryland's recap on today. On today's episode of the Shane Dawson podcast has come from my brain. I can no longer speak. Not come for your, but I can talk to extraterrestrials.

[Ryland Adams]

Some people in this room might be, others might not.

[Lizzy]

Okay, raise your hand if you're a Might not.

[Shane Dawson]

Hey.

[Lizzy]

Absolutely not.

[Shane Dawson]

He was so good at guessing celebrities.

[Sandy]

I feel offended. I need a Karen.

[Lizzy]

Karen alert.

[Ryland Adams]

You called?

[Shane Dawson]

Yeah.

[Sandy]

There's a room full of people saying I'm not smart.

[Ryland Adams]

Listen up, everybody. Jeremy is perhaps the smartest, most calculated I've ever met.

[Sandy]

The PayPal's on its way.

[Ryland Adams]

Pleasure doing business.

[Shane Dawson]

We got the dress.

[Lizzy]

That was me. Well, on today's episode, we got the dress. The long awaited dress that's most definitely black and blue in real life. That appears white in gold in photos. No one can explain it, but we can all hold on. Believe it.

[Shane Dawson]

Hold on. I'm getting tapped in by the aliens. What do they say?

[Chris]

Celebrity dinner party at Steam Toast.

[Lizzy]

Have you ever wanted to attend a celebrity dinner party? Maybe just not ours here at the sdp. Well, it might not have been executed to Shane's preference, but we did have a great time. I feel like you hated the dinner did gate. We lost control.

[Gabby]

We lost control of the game. But it was fun. It was.

[Shane Dawson]

But it was fun.

[Gabby]

It was fun.

[Shane Dawson]

Sandy thinks she looks like Ron Perlman.

[Lizzy]

You might not be able to tell today because the fog has gotten to Sandy, but she does indeed look like Ron Pearlman. Spencer was in the airport and saw the real one in real life. And even he ran up and almost tapped on her to say, sandra, y'all.

[Chris]

Yikes.

[Gabby]

Almost.

[Ryland Adams]

Almost.

[Gabby]

I almost ran through security.

[Lizzy]

He contained himself because he was hungover from going to Garth Brooks bar.

[Sandy]

Dude, we got criminal growers.

[Shane Dawson]

Breaking the law.

[Sandy]

Breaking the law on tonight's show.

[Shane Dawson]

There are criminals among us, and we're.

[Ryland Adams]

So happy to have you here.

[Shane Dawson]

Fast and the Furious.

[Ryland Adams]

Charged, super discharged.

[Lizzy]

Oh, if you ever hated the Fast and the Furious ride at Universal, Orlando or Hollywood, don't worry, you're not alone. And here in Hollywood, it's now destroyed because we all hated it so much.

[Shane Dawson]

Lil Wayne was in the house.

[Lizzy]

Oh, my gosh. Shane's impersonations, while fantastic, were not entirely accurate.

[Shane Dawson]

Hey, what are you talking about?

[Lizzy]

See, I still don't know who that is.

[Shane Dawson]

Caitlyn Jenner. That's.

[Lizzy]

You need to rework it.

[Gabby]

AI World War iii.

[Sandy]

Oh, yeah, it's happening.

[Lizzy]

While AI might be coming to kill us soon. They might do your taxes before you die.

[Gabby]

He's paid by AI or something. Every time we bring it up. Every time we bring it up.

[Chris]

Disney top five rides.

[Lizzy]

Oh. In a new segment on the Shane Dawson Podcast, Listicles have entered the chat. If you've wondered what the top five, five worst rides in history, not just America, right?

[Shane Dawson]

Did you just tell everyone to cheat?

[Sandy]

No.

[Gabby]

You stay with your partner.

[Lizzy]

Or if you don't have a partner. Then I started feeling like I was shaming people without partners.

[Sandy]

If you don't got a partner, buckle those roller blades on rollerblade down the street and find somebody.

[Lizzy]

Maybe you're a dj, there's an app for you.

[Shane Dawson]
