#128 - Our Wildest Ideas

This Smoshmouth episode serves as a heartfelt farewell to a year of filming, capturing the creators’ personal reflections, humor, and creative energy. The hosts share nostalgic memories, such as attending a hockey game with their father, which underscores themes of family and connection. A lively segment on aversions to animals—especially rats, wasps, and spiders—turns into a fun, in-depth discussion about personal comfort and cultural perceptions of bugs. The show introduces a new interactive format, "Hot Take Roulette," where participants deliver emotionally charged takes on topics like food and movies based on a heat scale, judged on intensity rather than agreement. The team also shares personal recommendations, including Muslim cotton hair towels and orange wine, rooted in tangible experiences. A humorous anecdote about an unrealized “Try Not to Nut” game highlights past creative ambitions, while the episode ends with a reflective tone on seating dynamics, emotional reactions, and the power of intuition. Through a mix of humor, vulnerability, and creativity, the episode celebrates personal growth, shared experiences, and the joy found in simple, meaningful moments—perfectly framing the end of a creative season with warmth and authenticity.

Hello, welcome to Smoshmouth. I'm Shen and I'm Amanda and we have a very special guest for this today. Tell me who's a guppy fish. Tommy is in a zone today. Tommy has been in a zone. I've been in a zone. Tommy has been in a zone and I love it. As of recording this we are four days away from being done for the year. This is our final, uh, Smoshmouth. This is our final shoot day. Final shoot day of the year of 2025. Now as of this airing it's 2026. Right. But we're filming this in December. We take a big break so we're not going to have time in January to film this episode to get it out in time. Right. Tommy's energy is just like his phone. No case. Okay? He's free. He's wild. He's energetic and he could drop at any moment. Max. Tommy, have you ever owned a phone case? Yes. Oh, I used to phone case all the time. What? What happened? Um, I dated someone who put it into my brain that if you didn't have a phone case, you look rich. What are you saying? Origin. What? If you don't have a phone. Oh, because I can afford a replacement. Yeah. That's what I was going to say. But also I have the, I have the green, the green back case. I have the orange. You. It's so cute. What are you talking about? But see, like, I could do a clear phone case, but I want to look rich. And I guess I look poor. No. But then you also don't have the mag thing that you can stick it onto like, no, it's breaking. No, you still have your stuff. That's the ring. That's still have magnet. Yeah, but like, that's to be that's to keep the magnet through the case. Wait a second. I don't want the magnet. Oh, so this doesn't like hook on. I guess that's true. It can. It can. It can. You just X-Men yelled at the world to get it out. People who burp like that are wild creatures. And Tommy does. He burps. Yes. Yeah. Dude, you know the burp that I think trips me up the most is a rosh's because a rosh does the thing where she's like bet. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like, what are you doing? Yeah. Yeah. Let it out. We were on the game set. I wonder if it'll make it into a video. This is so nonsense. I said something and then a rosh went to repeat it. And just went, and then just like shut down. And so now I just, I'll go up to her and I'll go, bet, bet, bet. Did she mean to shut? She just went to her brain just short circuited. So she went to go say something. I bet, bet. Let me say my brain has short circuited a lot. I'm sure. Thank you. Got it. Yeah. I just can't speak. Can I ask this is airing on the 8th, the 26th of January. January. So the live show is done. The live show happened 10 days ago. I was feeling with a live show. I hope good. I hope good. I realized I've not talked about it a lot in the previous Smosh Mounds because we were shooting them before we even announced the live show. But I hope it went well. I was working on that bad boy for six months. Yeah. That's wild. Yeah. But hey, you can still check it out. I'm sure. Yeah. I got my lines memorized day of the live show. Yeah. Yeah. I got my line. I can't believe you did what you did in that show. Oh my god. It was wild. Yeah. Absolutely. I was discussing this gross that backflip that I did. So cool. So cool. I nearly broke my right hip. Yeah. Good thing you broke your left one instead. Thank God. Yeah. Anyways, I'm recovered. Good. How was how was everybody's Christmas? Oh hot chocolate. Hot chocolate. Marshmallows. It was good. I had a good Christmas. I went home to see my family and oh, I can talk about this now because this won't come out. I don't so my parents are so hard to get gifts for because I'm an only child. So it's like there's a lot of pressure. I know the gift is me coming home. Yeah, you can. Yes. And me coming out every year. And so my dad loves hockey and he loves the Panthers. And so I decided to do a small splurge and do something that I've always wanted to do which is he's going to open a box and it'll be like in two days we're going to go see a hockey game. No. That's the best. Those are the best because it's like, oh, you literally we're going to go do something for it because it's like I kind of win from it too because I get to spend a day with my dad. But somehow I got a really good deal and we have second row up from the glass. So it's going to be it's going to be like I'm not going to tell them what seat have you been to love it? Have you been to a hockey game before? I used to go when I was a lot younger. It's truly like going to a soccer game, but it's indoors. I've never been to a hockey game. Oh, they're so fun. I'm sure it's cold and it's inside very exciting. And like no matter what it's just there's a lot of movement and you can't really tell what's going on. So just like, woo, I think the last one I went to a Kings game and then I would go to Bruins games a lot and I was obsessed. I loved it. Loved it because it's kind of brutal to watch. Yeah. Brutal. It's kind of what Shane sweatshirt says. Brutal. Brutal. Yeah. It's a lot of fun. They fight sometimes. Oh, yeah. They do. They do. The rule that the refs don't interfere until it goes to the ground is wild. It's awesome. When I was working at Channel 7, we had a lot of Bruins players come in because we had like a sports area. And every time they came in, it just looks like they were beaten with like an inch of their lives. Like their nose. Yeah. We're just gone. Like they were just forever like cemented. And then they always had like dark circles. And they were like in suits. And it was just a weird thing to see. Oh, wow. Oh, the Bruins were like near the north end, which was very close to where Channel 7 was. Awesome. Pretty cool. Cool. Do you wish you were back at Channel 7? No. I really, really don't. What's something you wish you could have reported on? Oh, oh, that's a good. It could be anything. It's a good question. Whether it's out of your league under your league has nothing to do with news. I wish I could have reported on like a big like the World Cup or like something really epic where everyone was getting together. And I was like outside and all the cast, but except it was just like, you know, Boston's been working on the bridge, the turnpike, the bridge, you know, construction still underway. And it was just like, oh, another thing or snowstorms. Thanks, loser. I think I know. Being a newscaster, I oddly feel like the big insane news stories. That's got to be the easiest like most like interesting part of the job. When I see when it's like, oh, you're a newscaster and oh, they're putting you out in the field at the, the chili cookoff. I'm like, that's got to be agony. You got to be making that energy. Dude, they just sit. They sit forever. And if they're going to court, they're in court for hours and hours and hours. And then it's their time to go, I just, and you think like Channel 7 is like glitz and glam. Like, it's all in there. Like, they don't need, they didn't even have, when I was there, they didn't even have everything on that digital. You had to go to like little tapes in the stacks that were like, there's a dead body in here. Like, it was like old. Yeah. It just, it felt like, and you didn't know what time was. And it was definitely 4am. And every time I would park my car, I'd go through the alleyway. And there was tons of rats. All the amount of rats that hit my boots. Hit your boots. Hit my boots. So like, you're making it sound like you're not kicking rats. It sounds like they're, it sounds like they're teabowning your shoes. No, the rats were attacking my boots. They would like run out of shoes. I just shuffled through the alleyway. Oh my god. Oh my god. My boots had rat prints all over them every day. So they're just hanging out, having a normal night, just like having conversations, then a giant, a scary woman comes in with her big feet. Their normal light is this. Just running from, they're going, I got you tag. I got you, I got you, I got you, and then I'm just going, doof, channel, sir. That's my line. Oh, well fun. Yeah. Well fun. The news anchor voice is probably my favorite thing ever. When you talk like this and you dip it down here and you know that you're going to go here, but everybody knows that this time, Amanda, my favorite thing is when there's up and down side to side. And I'm sitting at this table next to Shane and Amanda tonight. We'll find out what I'm going to say next. What's in your fridge that will kill you at 11. It goes up at the end. And what we mean by that is at 11 p.m. your fridge will kill you. Isn't that great? Now let's see these puppies. Later tonight after Jimmy Fallon, we'll find out who's behind you and what they're about to do. Yeah, very good. Very good. It's fun. It's fun, you know. It is a fun time. No, it sounds like it's actually not fun ever, but it's fun. But it's fun to hear. It's fun to hear. If it was my dream, it would be unbelievable. But it wasn't my dream. It was like, I want to be an actor. And my mom is like, you're going to do this is the next best thing. I remember we expressed because we did that. We had a we did a local news for L.A. We did an interview where someone came in here. And just like the what it demands to do that type of work. I'm like, I'm incapable. One day and I'd be so exhausted, I'd have to nap for five months. Especially if you're just starting out. It's just you, a cameraman, you're doing every truly. Yeah, and you have to care so much about nothing like you have to really make up. - Simply, he had two hours before you're on air. So if you work at the 4M, shift, you're up at 2am. - Yikes. - Oh my God. - Yikes. - Yikes. - Yikes. - Yikes. - This is a show. - Anyways. - Anyways. - Anyway, what are we doing today? - Today, we've been kind of throwing this around as an idea for a bit. We wanted to test out some segment ideas for this show. - Yeah, that we want to kind of do a new year. - Yeah, we want to try a bunch of new stuff in 2026. - Okay. - I don't think we've really kicked that into high gear yet. - Yeah. - But throughout 2026, that's a goal is to try new things. - Yeah, we've been comfy. - Yeah. - We have gotten very comfy. - And a high gear with you in the rats. - Yeah, me and the rats, like kicking them up. - Hey, segment episode, we just get some rats, we just throw them on the table. - Have a man to take them out. - I hate that so deeply. - I'll throw off. - Do you have an aversion to rats? - I really don't like rats. - No! - I feel like-- (laughing) - Whoa! - Whoa! - No! - No! - No. - Yeah. - I've never understood the like beer or hatred of rats. - What? - They're a little cutie, too. - They're just rats. - Cutie, cuties. That tail looks like a rubber band. That's like thick. (laughing) And it's gonna slap you across the face. - Yeah. - Are you joking? - Oh yeah. - How do you feel about snakes? - I'd rather. - We'd rather have snakes. - I'd rather have snakes. - I'd rather have frogs. - Love frogs. - Cuties. - Frogs are adorable. - You help them. - People don't like frogs. 'Cause they're like sticky. - Oh. - They're not sticky. - Sticky as slime. - Sticky as slime. - Oh right. - How do you feel about slugs? - Slugs? - Fine. Something's happening to me. My body hurts, it's just like, yeah, rats, yeah. - It's truly, it's the rats that are bothering you. - Do rats, mice? - Mice are fine. - Okay. - 'Cause they're smaller and innocent. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - How do you feel, just, would you take bugs over rats? This room has to have one of them. Sorry, I know this is awful. - Ah! - Are you right now? - Cutie, I just need to-- - Cut! - No! - Worst than rat? (laughing) - If not, explain this up. - Amanda's brain just took a screenshot. - My body? (laughing) My body's like (snoring) I don't know, cockroaches are however. - Yeah, they're pretty much-- - Cockroaches and rats. - Yeah, good, she's there, over. - Awful. Awful, you know what's seen in Traders? (laughing) - Where they're dumping the-- - Winner! - Okay, can I be honest? Though, I'm the type that, when I saw that challenge, I was like, that's the easiest challenge I've ever had. - No, no, no, I was gonna explain it. - I can-- - What? - Explain it. - Oh, I don't know what this is. - So they had to hold each other's hands within this glass box. And they just had to have a grip on it. Nothing's pulling them apart. It is purely psychological. They're holding hands, but then they're dropping stuff into this box. - Not just stuff. - Snakes. - Snakes. - Snakes. - Bags, it's a bug. - Oh, then text. - Bags a bug. - Lots of bugs. - Okay. - Inside the scene. - But no, none of that'll bite you. - Oh, they could. - Yeah, and they're not gonna bite them. I think that's a liability. (laughing) - Cockroaches don't bite. Like, it's mostly, it's mostly-- - Then they dropped in this thick, long, like-- - No, no, no, no, no, no, no. - Yeah, it's like a millipede. - You're cool with that? - I think it was a millipede. - And then they also drop it on their heads. - They drop it on their heads. - They're dropping bugs and stuff on their heads. - And they were in top hats. - We don't know why, actually. That was just like a separate thing. - But, but, do you think? - Okay, we've talked about survivor and stuff on this show before. But when it comes to having bugs on you, is that something like you could-- - I'm signing up for a challenge. And I do, I can do a bug. - I mean, like in bed. - Oh, yeah, that's different. - I mean, this isn't a bug. This is bags of bugs. - I could do bags of bugs. - I mean, if we had our hands in a glass box and we're holding hands, and they were dropping bugs, if we're like this, and they're dropping bugs on us, are you gonna hold on? - I don't know why I might throw up and scream. (laughing) - I might throw up and scream. I might throw up and scream. I hate this. - Okay, close your eyes. - It was-- - But I know what's your hands, but they're like heavy. - No, it was the coolest moment 'cause in traders, in that season, I know the new season's out now, but in the previous season, Boston Rob, who's like such a vet from reality shows, he's holding, and I forget, his partner was like a young woman. - Yes, yes. - And the way he was like talking to her throughout that process, he's like, he's like, hey, so when's your birthday? He's like, oh my gosh, that's so funny. That's the same birthday as my daughter. And he's like, they're covered in bugs, and he's just like, that's so interesting. Like, what do you like to do when you go to this place? Whatever, he's like, just like, hey, let's just go somewhere else 'cause he was unfaithful. - He was unfaithful. - Of course, he's Boston Rob. - He's Boston Rob. - He's a legend. - I love Boston Rob. - But truly, that stuff, I'm not bothered by it at all, forever ago, we got to do a thing where we had a bunch of bugs and animals here, that Courtney and Olivia were hosting a show with them. And there was a part where they're like, oh, we have this big tarantula. Do you want it to crawl across your face? - And truly, Olivia did it, I don't know if Courtney did it, but then I was like, I'll do it. I was like, that sounds cool. And so I laid my face down on a table and this tarantula crawled across it, and it feels crazy. The tips are heavier. - They're a little heavy, but also the tips of their legs feel like a little needle. - Oh, really? - It feels like a little acupuncture type of vibe. - Oh god, I need that on my arm. - It was really interesting. - I'm actually very surprised that you're into this. - I don't want, I don't want, when a bug in nature decides to interact with me. - Yeah, you don't want, I don't want. - But like in my home, if I see a spider, I'm like, usually I'll let him chill out. Unless he's up in my business. - You don't have an aversion to spiders. - Really? - Oh. - A thick ass tarantula with like a big butt. - I'm like, get out. - Oh, no, tarantula does not bother me. It's the tarantula, tiny little skinny fast ones. - No, no, spiders are weirdly okay. Maybe because East Coast, there's spiders everywhere. - Yeah, but tarantula's like are known to be like the least. They're not like a part. - They really don't care. - You guys are confused, I'm not worried about what they'll do to me. I don't want the texture and the touch. - You just don't like them. - Oh my god, D. - Got it. - I get that, got it. - Okay, I get that. - So it's not their intent, it's their form. - Yeah, that sounds awful. - I think I'm gonna just don't want to do that. - It's not their intent, it's their form is so funny. - It's so awful, we can't say that. (laughing) - Well, I get it though. I'm always fascinated when people just have a full aversion. 'Cause I'm like yes, if I'm walking around and suddenly a bug skitter's out of nowhere, I'm gonna jump back and be like what the hell is that? - Of course. - I don't want that near me. But I don't understand just seeing it and being like oh, oh, oh. - I do have to say, I will ride or die for you, but if a rat or something comes towards you, so I was walking with my friend, Sam. And we were walking to the movies and it was, I think downtown, a guy opened a door and the door was like to a trash room. (laughing) And my friend wore open-toed shoes, but you never do downtown. You never wear open-toed shoes downtown. - Yeah. - And this is actually our own chance. - So the door opened and the rat was like yay, and it ran directly towards us. And we were like holding hands, like cracking up, like being friends. - Imagine you pick Sam up and you throw. - No, I didn't do any of that. - The rat, she kills me to this day. The rat landed on, like sprawled out like a beach on her open-toed and I ditched her ass. (laughing) I literally unhooked her arms and I went, no! - It crawled onto her foot? - It literally went, (screaming) like on her feet, it was like yay, and I left her ass and ran. I literally was like nope, and I ran and left her alone to go, ah! And the rat was like, oh, you're freaking out. So what it did is just kept rubbing its little belly on her own. - What the hell is this rat doing on her little belly? - It was like, oh, you're scared? I'm gonna stay here, and I'm seeing a really fat rat, like a pet rat, that's really fat. - No. - Pat rats are apparently really sweet. - In New York, they're like a big belly. - Like the size of your forearm, so it's like that. - Yeah. - No, when I go to New York, whenever I see a rat, it's like truly like a celebrity sighting scene. - Same. - I'm like, rat, same. - You hear about you guys. - Here? They're there. - They're everywhere. - I've seen them. - I'm like in New York. - I've rarely seen them. I've rarely seen them in my life. Like when I'm in cities, I like, look for them, and I'm like, but I feel like you see them for a moment, and then they skitter away. - Well, you gotta go into the back alley. - Yeah, you've lived a very cushy life if you haven't seen a rat. - And I just, you don't know what that rat has been through. It's like, maybe you make delicious dishes. - What? - Maybe you train turtles. - No, they're better crawling buildings. - They're like, boom, boom, boom. That's what they're doing. - Amazing, sounds incredible. So they're Spider-Man. - They're Spider-Man? - Yeah, they're Spider-Man. - They're not like cute like Spider-Man. They're not like. - I just, I don't see rats as being disgusting. I see they look cute. They look no different than, they're just big mice. - Oh, that's wild. Good for you. - Well, one person's right and one person's right. - I will say, okay, there is one thing, it's a bug that fuck 'em. - Absolutely. - What? - Mosquitoes. - Not mosquitoes, I don't get bothered by, like, I don't get bit by mosquitoes too often. - You don't know what it is. - I don't know what it is. - I guess I don't have sweet blood. - I actually haven't been bit by mosquitoes in a while. - And I also, they're not that prevalent in L.A. I will say when I go to Florida and stuff, sometimes I get annoyed by them. - Florida. - I don't hate them though. I don't, if I see them, it's not like a disgust. There is one thing that if I see it, I'm gonna kill it. - Whoa! - Full on. I love-- - What is it? - Everything else, I do everything to not harm any bugs or any animals, I will, even flies. I'm like, you can do your thing. My cats are gonna probably kill you. And I can't stop them. - How about that? - What is that? - But, wasps. - Oh. - Wasps. - Can go to hell. - Well, they're like, nature-- - There's villain. - It's not a- - They are, they're like- - Me, me, me. - They are awful. One time I went camping, glamping, I don't camp, and I didn't pay for the glamp, so I was just, I got to go. - Whoa, nice hanging. - It was when I was dating someone whose family was like that. And so we went there and there were, they were coming out of the ground, 'cause you know the wasps can like, nest in the ground. - They can do everything. - And so there were, I would say, maybe five wasps around you at any time. It was that many wasps in the air. And so we would just, we would take paper plates and just go, ba, ba, we would just be like, oh, you know, let's, you know, it's 11 a.m., let's walk around, and so we're just going, boom, boom, and as soon as you'd hit one and found the ground, go, and then we'd kill it. And it was like, we felt like evil monsters against nature, but also we were like, we need to protect ourselves. We're trying to hang out. - I'm a good person over here. I'm just talking about my disgust. - Do you guys are actually murdering? - Only wasps. Only wasps, 'cause they will get in your face. They, bees, love 'em. - Oh my God, there was a dead bee in my kitchen this morning. - And it makes me so sad. - And I was like, how'd you get in here? I would have saved you. - Yeah, no. - It was just like occasionally running into a dying bee is so tragic. - Oh my God, I happen to lot. - There's my friend, bear, he has a pool in his like apartment. - Okay, right. - No, it's, it's shared by everyone and no one's ever in it. Except every once in a while, a drowning bee. And if I walk by, I'll be like, no, no. - And I'll scoop about and I'll like put him on a thing and I'll be like, oh, that's very sweet. - Oh, that's very sweet. - It's like a little tiny CPR. - It's some honey. - Yeah, drink, drink, drink the honey. - He's like, thank you, Tony. - He's like, I don't drink honey, I make it. - Idiot. - Anyways, that's, that's a little fun. - Can we play one of our segments? - All right. - How do I, I liked this a lot. - A lot of our segments, how many segments does a roach have? - Your face dropped. - Whoa. - Yeah, I just wanted to see what would happen. - Whoa. - No, literally, I'm not even playing these faces. It's like, it's like a, yeah, yeah. Like a great through my whole body. I'm just like, game. (laughing) I'm like, foul. - All right, shall we segment? - Yeah, does anyone have one we want to talk over? And we can play any that we want, that we are capable of playing or we can just talk and talk it out. It's okay. We're going to move on. - Okay. (laughing) I have one that's just fun. - Yeah. - That's why it's easy. I love recommendations that aren't focused on anything at all. It could be a book. It could be a movie. It could be something to do. It could be how to sleep. It could be, I don't know, something that's working for you right now or that you've enjoyed recently that you want to recommend, just broadly. - Okay. This probably won't work. - It could be a product, it doesn't matter. - This probably won't work for like you guys, but for me. Hair towels are a big thing when I get a shower, like a big thing. It needs to be the right hair towel. - You do that, but. - It's too thick. It'll just fall. Yeah, I do like the cartoon lady up up. - Yes, exactly. - In the robe and you're like, "Oh!" - Exactly. And then I drop my robe and I open the door and I go, "Oh!" And no one's there. So I got these towels for my son. They're like, "Muslim cotton. They're so wonderful." They are, and they have like the little triangle where you put the baby's head in. They are perfect for your hair towels. They're so light and soft and they dry super, super quick. - Okay. - That's my recommendation. - Is your head the size of a baby? - Yeah, no. So the triangle only fits up here. Oh, no, the triangle fits, so I put the triangle here and then I bend over and then I wrap it around and then I do the. - Oh, so it's up in the back. - Yes, yes, yes, that's great. - That's great. - Okay. - For a incredible amount of time here. Thank you. - Incredible recommendations. - So fun, just any recommendation at all. - At all. - At all. - What do you recommend today? (snoring) - Okay. Give me a second. Do you want to go or do you? - Yeah, there you go. - Yeah, I can go. I would like to recommend if you have a bottle of orange wine to finish it on the day. I've had a few orange wines lately where I've let it rest until the next day and it has turnt. It has turnt. - Oh, it's turnt, is it outside of the fridge? - Nope, it's in the fridge. - I don't know. - It's a set. So I was at the end of a, okay, so people at home, orange wine, it's fucking crazy. It's a weird thing, it's skin talk that's so delicious. Sometimes it tastes like a foot. This one tasted like if white wine was a cigar. Okay, go with me. - Okay. - It was really good. - It was nice. - Okay. - People are like, ew. - And it's like, I'm like, wait until you're in your 30s. (laughing) - You're gonna want your wine to taste like a cigar. - Wow, that voice is good. - We need another scam caller to call. - For real? - David is. - What do you mean? (laughing) - What? - Yes. - This voice is so good. - Me, when I met Tashi Station in Star Wars. - That was crazy. - You sounded like you worked for Job of the Hut. - Or at the DMV, like the woman. This comes out at the end. - Did you bring your ID? - Jesus. - This is so good. - Sound like you're part of a "Japung" song. (laughing) - I can't make it. - We can, okay. - It loses a little bit. Anyway. - It's so good. - I poured, I guess this was the second, the third day. So maybe the recommendation is the third day. 'Cause you can kind of get away with the second day. I poured and it was at the bottom. And I've had this wine before. It has a picture of a woman who looks like Natalie Portman on it. And I can keep, I continuously find it 'cause I'm like, oh, there's Natalie Portman. I got the cigar wine. - Of course. - Anyway, poured it out, thick. Like it was like top to bottom, like opaque. - Yes, yes. - Like fully brown, like pieces. I was like, oh, you can't put that in your body. - Yeah. - You can't do that. - It does that. Orange wine does that. - I don't know why. - I actually don't know why. - If there's not a little bit of sediment, I'm not drinking it. 'Cause then I know it's going to taste like, you know what I mean? Like, oh, by the beach. - You know what? You won't mess up. - I wanted to taste my head. (laughing) That's it. Okay. Similarly, I've been doing this a little bit this year. My recommendation. We have a lot of like long shoot days here. - Yeah. - Smosh, right? Sometimes I get sleepy in the second half of the day. But I've noticed something that I feel like fixes it for me. And maybe it's placebo. If I eat an orange. - Orange. - Orange. - If I eat an orange in the early afternoon, I have energy. - It's incredible. - I don't know. - Vitamin C. - Maybe it's just the sugar's in it. I don't know. But I swear by the orange. - What's clean and natural? - Orange. - I love an orange. - And it's delicious. - Orange. - I love an orange. - Orange. - Do you eat it cold or do you eat it room temperature? - Oh, good question. - Do you put your oranges in the fridge? - Delicious. - Oh, I don't do that. But that makes sense 'cause it's like cold orange juice. - I put my apples in my fridge. - I put my apples in the fridge. - I do not put my apples in the fridge. - I just started putting my apples in the fridge. - Did they turn brown in the fridge? - And if you freeze it, you have to peel it. - What? - Bananas? - Yeah. - Why do you have to freeze it? Or why do you have to peel it? - So it lasts longer. - No. - Why do you have to peel it? - You want to take out a banana that's frozen with a peel on it? How are you going to get that peel off? - Well, you let it fall. But then why? - And what's the point? - You use it exactly. - Smoothies. - Oh, see no. Thank you. - If I let bananas get really brown and with the peel on it, I put them in the freezer so that it take them on a lemon thought and I make banana bread. I just saved them. - I just saved them. - Probably like a year or so ago. I make banana bread a lot. It's the easiest thing to make. - It is the easiest thing. - But it's going to be a year. And not a lot. This past year. But I was making it a lot. - It's as though I was like, yeah. Before that I was making it all the time. - Shane is lying. - Shane is lying. - All the time. - Here we go. Okay, by the way, Tommy, we've got to get you on board with this. We are going to get Reba on Smosh this year. - Yes. - And then also we want to do a Reba Moose Master. - Yes. - Oh my God, that would be incredible. - Different versions of Reba. - That's great. - Different eras. - Reba. - Yeah, Reba. - Okay. - I meant Reba. - So yeah, I think it's going to be a big group effort to get Reba on Smosh. - Reba. - Reba. - Reba. - Reba. - Anyways. - Wow. - Orange. - Orange. - Why? - Quickly. - Muslim cotton hair towels. - There you go. - And those are your recommendations for today's episode. - Those are the recommendations for today. - That's a fun little segment. - I would really like that. - Which is a fun. That's a great. - It's so nice. - So niche. - So nice. - So nice. - So nice. - So nice. - Very nice. - Very nice. - No. - Here's this new segment where we just say very nice over and over and over. - Very nice. - Very nice. Okay. (both laughing) Oh, I have a really dumb one. This is a one-time segment. - Okay. - And maybe we could do it with different guests and stuff where we just switch seats for like a minute and we just see if the vibes are different. - Okay. Okay. I've always wanted to sit over here. - I've always wanted to sit there too. So let's switch. - Why? - Let's do one and then-- - 'Cause I sat here. - Let's move counterclockwise. - Okay. - One and then see where the vibes. See, I've been here before. And these vibes are good. - Okay. - Something's different with you over here. How do you feel over there? I'm just gonna, I'm just gonna, um. (both laughing) - Whoa. - New birth per charm. - I don't actually-- - I've ever been sitting here with you there. - I don't actually know if I like this. - You don't like your territory. - I feel like I've never done this. - I feel like I just swam at the bottom of the pool and I popped up in a place that I can-- didn't lie. I pop up in the deep end with a bunch of people talking and I'm like, oh, sorry, I thought my friends were like, you're like seven and you're like, look, look, I'll do something underwater and you like go to like flip upside down under water and then you come up and you're like, oh, I'm just, I don't know where she's like, why is your mom? What happened to you? Wait, wait, what? Wait, what's going on? I don't even know. It was. I made this cry, I made this cry. I made this cry. I made this cry, oh my god. Oh my god. You know when you have a vision in your head and people go, yeah, and then they add onto it. That got me man. It's a great spot. I feel more chill here. I'm having more fun here. People think I laugh a lot. It's just where I'm sitting. Oh, thanks James. I'll take one too. Oh my god. Thank you. Where's your mom? You guys, I really needed that. Thank you. Of course. I slept really dry last night. So my throat is ready to do that. You don't really dry. Yeah, because I'll sleep with my mouth open. Some people snore I sleep with my mouth open. Uh oh. Yeah. Is that bad? I don't say that's bad. And I'm like, spiders can get in there. They want to go in. Let them in. Spiders get in there. Oh my god. I'm so happy. I'm glad you happy. Do we want to swap one more? I've never sat here. I've literally never sat here. Whoa. Oh, interesting. I've actually sat here. You have sat there once. And I've sat there. Still a little dewy under this eye. I'm dewy. Okay. This spot's pretty cool. Yeah. You have you just are looking at Scott the whole time. Oh my god. And I love it. I don't know if he loves it, but I love it. Okay. I'm like a Scott. When he agrees with me, he's like, your mid conversation with the person here, but you're just like, yeah, I fully agree. I like it's got a lot for sure. Yeah. And I know when the vibes are good when Scott's doing that, but when he's not doing that, it's like, oh, we got to move on. So I'm realizing this chair is the focused chair because my attention's here and there's it's just wall. Whereas like if you're here, your attention split between the two and you have everybody out here. This is a tough chair. But then when you're over there, it's just this person and Scott. Yes. Yeah. But this is the focus. And a little bit. This is like a little bit. Is this is this is this chair hard to look at the guest? I don't necessarily think so. I think the guest is perfectly split. That was awesome. That was that was so needed. Like I needed that. Good. Oh wow. I needed a cry last night. And I it came to me and this is a very like sweet thing. Actually, it was just like, okay, here's my segment. Tommy says a sweet thing. Okay. There was a just a TikTok that I saw. It was a Native American woman in a like natural history museum, like cultural installation. And she was singing like a song from her like beautiful her like culture, her tribe or whatever. And it was so impactful that I just started like weeping. And then I was like humanity. You've been weeping. I've been weeping. I've been I've been very connected lately with my like grateful for like the lives we lead and connections with people. You've been in a you're weeping era. I'm in my weeping. And I love in my like beauty beauty. Like in my life. Yeah. And I like I primarily cry in like positive ways. Yes. I don't cry when things are really sad. I cry when things are happy. Oh, not me. I cry for a lot of it. Yeah. For a lot of it. Like I cry when things are really I will I'm going to admit something here. I cried in the most in the strangest way. I got a full night of sleep. Good. I when I was at work, I missed my son completely. I didn't see him when I woke up and I didn't see him when I got home. So I was really sad. So the next morning, I got a full night of sleep. I was holding my son and H made crepes. And I took one bite of the crepe while holding my son. And I sobbed sobbed sobbed. Talked sobbed. No, no, no. Stop. Stop. Talked. I was like, it's so good. It's so good. And it was like it was like, oh my god. This is that moment. This is that moment where people go parenting is hard. I'm like, oh, no, this is that moment. This is where it's at. Like tell your tell breath. I do it again and again. Literally. Literally. It's like that. It's like that famous picture of that mom who's who's holding her crying son. And she's sitting on the toilet. And there's another son holding her holding her leg. Is that a picture of painting? I don't know. I know what you're talking about though. But I was like, yep. But I was crying in joy. Of course. Because you're like, oh my god, I have my son. I have this breakfast. It was like tasting a crepe in that moment. Just solidified it. It just launched it. Anyways, watch your mom. Watch your mom. It should be swap back. Let's do it. This is a fun place to be. Yeah. Yeah. You're right in the middle. I'm really happy for our guests. I have the most energy in this chair. 100%. Really? I don't know why. I don't know why. It's good. So yeah. Yeah. I think it's Shane's chair that has like the energy in my chair. I think I just bring those vibes there. My chair is just fine. It's professional, I guess. I think it's professional. It's grounding. It's a grounding, it's a grounding force. Yeah. Yeah, I feel very comfortable. Yeah, like you shut down when you sat in it. You kind of were fine when you sat in it. It's kind of fine. Fun. I feel like. Yeah. Okay. Okay. I'm going to have to change some things. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. I'm going to have to bring some new energy. Okay. I'm going to have to chill out. Yeah. Switch it up a bit. Yeah. I'm going to be chill. I'm going to be relaxed. No filter. For sure. For sure. Yeah. Let's go back. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. I'm back. I'm back in my chair. Okay. I'm a second. And we're back. Actually, you haven't done one yet. We're back. I don't have them. Do you not have any? I know you have said good news because we talked about them. I know you go. Okay. I think it would be fun to answer one of the questions that make you fall in love with people every episode we do. That's like 50. There's like 50 right from women's health magazine. There's like 50 questions. Yeah. Yeah. So if we start doing that, that's we could do one every week for a whole year. But you said make someone fall in love with you. Uh-huh. Yeah. Or make a term or to determine. Oh, I love that. I'm picking one. I'm picking one. I'm picking one. Where's your mom? Where's your mom? Where's your mom, kid? Where's your mom? If I go into the ball, she got a cigarette. If I go into the ball, she burns it out on the floaty, it. She sings. If I go into the ball, I could tell you the truth about yourself, your life, the future, or anything else. I want to know. So if a crystal ball, thank you, elder, Ena, I don't know what your name is. If a crystal ball can tell you the truth about yourself, your life, the future, or anything else. Why would you want it now? Her name is Ena, because she's Ena Poole right now. It is your seat. Your seat's far behind. My name. God. Mine's so serious. I'm like segments. Sorry. What is the question? If a crystal ball could tell you the truth about yourself, your life, the future, or anything else, what would you want to know? Not the future. I do not want to know. I don't want to know the future. I don't want to know the future either. My life. My life. My life. I'm scared to go to a psychic for that reason, like I don't want them to tell me something that I don't want to know. I guess my life, I don't know. Okay. I feel like psychics have said, like, oh, I don't want to, we don't predict the future, because it is kind of like, it's a vibe. It's a vibe thing. It's not set. I think I would want to know, like, where to put my energy. I would like a light guide of like, I think, you know, you should keep, oh, it's like, oh, maybe focus on a pilot, you know, like kind of give me like a nudge in a direction. Yes. That'll, you know, and that could just like teach me something, or it could be that gets created. You know, like, I'd love a little like a, ooh, keep writing that thing. Yeah. I know this is impossible, because it is all subjective and it's all our own feelings and whatever, but like, you know, in video games where it's like something a highlight of like, oh, this is the recommended thing to do. Right. And I'm like, man, that'd be so nice to have in life of like, oh, well, this is, this is the path. You're walking around and it just pops up. Recommended. Like, things just kind of light up, but it's like, oh, go that direction. And I'm like, give me that once. - It's called Intuition, Shayne. - Yeah, Intuition. - It's called intuition. - Intuition. - It's called, "Inertation." (laughing) - Where's your mom? - I think people hate this voice. - Honestly, where's your mom? That whole thing is gonna be my 20, 26. - That lady's my new favorite character. - Where's your mom, man? - Where's your mom? - Because she cares about the well-being of the kid. - But she's also really enjoying her time. - Yeah. - Smokin' a cigarette in the water. - In a bubble pool. - And she's got like a frilly bathing suit on. - Oh, for sure. - She's a cigar woman, but she's a cute frilly bathing suit. - Like short choppy hair that's got a blonde highlight. - What's that? - Oh, I'm featuring, what's that? - That cartoon that like newspaper cartoon of the old lady with the sunglasses. - Caffeine? - Oh no, the old lady who's like, it's like a famous cartoon and she's just always kind of like. - And it would be on like birthday cards. - She's always a little sassy. That is to a tea. - What is it? - Maxine. - Maxine. - That is to a tea what my grandma was like. That was her vibes. Just kind of like, and she had that like short. - Is that where you get your ant care, girl? - There's definitely some vibes there. She was very like sarcastic, very funny. And just a lot of just like, all right. - I always wanted that. - Very popular. I feel like the imagery of hers everywhere. - In the funny. - In the funny. - In the funny. - Oh. - Do you guys remember, is this crazy? Oh my god, this is me showing. - So sick. - When you had to call or look in the newspaper for movie theater times, do you guys remember that? We're here to like call and like hear the movie theater times. - Like movie theater times? - Yes. - Yeah, thanks, Selena. - Yes, I do. - Oh my god, this seat. - I do remember that. - This seat is old and lame. This seat is crusty and dusty. (laughs) I'm changing it up. I'm gonna come in here. I like this old pen. (laughs) - We're gonna get you a free lunch. - I do, I do. That was right around the time we're like, Watergate and stuff is crazy. Anyways. - I hate you, I fuck you. - Yeah, I remember that. - Fuck you in that seat. - I remember that too. I was like swimming around with my like 500 brothers and my dad's balls. (laughs) - 500. It's got a good gear. - You're a miracle. (laughs) - You guys keep me in the seat. That's actually what's happening. It's not me, it's you guys. - It's you guys. (laughs) - Okay. - I love that. - I have a big, I have a big one. Let's just do it now and then we go back to smaller ones. So I have this show, I have a show that I pitched to Kiana years ago that we would do on Smosh Pit. Now this is a very rough idea and the idea is for it to just be like fun conversation with a little bit of a game to it and it is called Hot Take Roulette. - Okay. - Now we got this roulette wheel. Now this goes to 12. Ideally it would go to 10. Now I think also there'd be two roulette wheels. There'd be a roulette wheel that has a bunch of categories on it and then there'd be a roulette wheel that has the numbers. And one being the absolute coldest ice cold, 10 being the hottest. Now this goes to 12, so 11 and 12 are crazy. How do you go beyond hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot? - Am I presented with a thing that I have to then make a hot hot? - What it would be is one person would be the judge in this, in this given scenario. One person is the judge and they pick a category. They spin the wheel, it lands on a number. And the other two people, they don't have to believe in the hot take but they have to give a take that is equivalent to that heat level. - Got it. - And the judge then determines who won, who got closer to the number. It's not a matter of agreeing with the take or liking the take or whatever. It's, is that take? - It's like wavelength in that sense. - Yeah. - Okay, so it's not like pineapple on pizza as the category. It's just like food is the category. And then we both have to try and make a term in how specific you want to get. - Got it, okay. - You could say pineapples is my category. Give me a hot take about pineapples. - Pineapple on pizza is like the best thing in the world. What number would that be? - Well, the way you said that, say a pineapples. - It would be what I, it would be how hot I think that take me as two. - All right, let's, let's take a broad category. Let's say music. - Okay. - Music. And we land on a one. Okay, who wants to go first to get me? - My hot take in music. - Uh-oh. - A one. - I don't think I'm gonna be good at this game. - Okay, give me a one. - All right, what is a one take? What is the coldest possible take on music, Tommy? - Coldest. - It is a one. - Okay. - As cold as it gets. - Get ready, guys, get ready. - Okay, here we go. - I think Beyonce is a talented vocalist. - Okay. - That's really nice. - Beyonce is a talented vocalist, Amanda. - Most people like pop music. - Ooh. - Oh, shoot, I'm not winning. - That's not a one. - No, I think I'm gonna give it to Amanda because most pop, popular music. - Okay, okay. - That's the most because I think, I don't know who, but I think there, I would believe more people out there would potentially. - Yeah, right. - Disagree with the best vocalist in current history. - Yes, both of those have very good one takes. Does anyone wanna spin and get a category? - Yeah, go for any. - The category is clothing. - Clothing. What are we gonna get? - We don't wanna have no system in the middle, by the way. - Oh, that's so spooky. Okay, three. - We're getting low takes. Okay. Okay. - Jeans go with everything. - Whoa, you think that's a three? - Yeah. - Okay. - Okay. - All right. - Okay. - I'm having fun in this care. - What are you wearing right now? - Not jeans. - I'm not wearing jeans. - Whoa. - 'Cause I'm different. - This is a three. This is like a chill take. - I think it's a chill take. I think it's a chill take. - Do you think it's more of like a one? - No, I think that's actually more of a hot take than a chill take. - Really? - 'Cause I know, well, I feel like the tides of turn to people don't like jeans anymore. - People like, I'm not wearing jeans. - Big pants. - Jeans can be big. - Pants. - Jeans. - Pants. - Jeans, okay. - And what do you got? - Okay, I'm gonna go with, you should fold your knitwear. You shouldn't hang it, you should fold it. - Do you have your knitwear? - Well, it rest on at least two. And see, I think knitwear wins, unfortunately. - That's the three. - I feel like jeans is more of a-- - That's a pretty bold statement. - Fine. - I learned, I heard that about knitwear and I realized it's true 'cause whenever I would hang it, I'd have those-- - That's it, we'd get the bumps on the shoulders. - Yeah, 'cause it's too heavy. - Yeah, yeah. Okay, pick a category. - Pick a category? - And spin the wheel. - And get some hotter takes up here. - Yeah, let's look at alcohol. - Alcohol. - Alcohol. - Alcohol. - Alcohol. - Let's spin it again. - What is you, what? Hey, this is what happens. - This wheel loves-- - A nine. - A nine. - Alcohol. - Okay, and once again, alcohol. - I wanna be clear with hot take roulette. It's not about, you do not have to believe the take. - Right. - You are just saying something that is of that caliber. - A nine hot take, okay. - I think classic cocktails should not have twists on them. And I don't mean twists like element twists. I think classic cocktails should-- - Stay classic. - On their classic form. - Wow, okay. - Okay, that's a good one. - Guess what, I don't believe that for a sec. - I know, I love a twist on my knee. - That's just my-- - I love a twist on my knee, but I can respect what you just said. - But I like this take. - That's my take. - That's your take. - That's your take. - That take is gonna trigger people. - Okay, a nine, I'm gonna say tequila is the liquor for people who don't like alcohol. Hey, oh, I don't believe it. I don't believe it. But is that a nine out of a 10? - I like tequila shots, people taking tequila shots. - I just think tequila's the go to for people who don't actually like-- - That's like saying being launched out of a canonist for people who like lambs. - Yeah! (laughing) - Fucking crazy. - There are people who like who don't enjoy, like they don't like the taste of it. - It is the most intense liquor that they're in. - Hot and effort. - That's what's crazy. It's just like, if you didn't like alcohol, you should be taking shots of vodka. 'Cause it tastes like-- - No, yeah. - Well. - Well, I mean, hey, it's different tastes for different tastes. - I will say that's interesting. - I feel like tequila's the go to, it's like, oh, you don't, you never drink. You don't like drinking liquor. So you go with tequila. - Hmm. - That's so interesting 'cause I love alcohol, but I don't like tequila. - I have started to not do tequila unless it's in an espresso martini. - Wow. - If you get, if you get the golden tequila's, have more of a vanilla flavor and actually pairs really well into an espresso martini. But I spent so many years in my mid-twenties, thinking that I knew how to pace myself really well, and then like near the end of the night, it'd be like, let's do a tequila shot, and then I'd be sleeping on the floor in my bathroom. And it was always the tequila shot at the end of the night. - Yeah. - I hate tequila shots. I actually don't like shots. - I don't do shots. - You know, it'll help? Shake it. I mean, I know you've made your decision. - I just said it, I don't, I don't know. - But if you shake the tequila shot, it'll help. Anyway, who won? - Anyway. - Now it's a nine out of 10. If you think mine is beyond-- - Nine out of 12, 11 and 12 are extra. - Nine, 11 and 12 are just insane. - Okay. - I don't know. - Actually, because-- - There's a wrong answer. You're picking what you think is more accurate to that. If you think I went past a nine, or not quite there, I'm gonna go with Tommy, because I actually think you went past a nine. That's like a really-- - Okay. - And that's not-- - That's one of the game. - That's the game. - I'm going with Tommy. - Hey. - I'm sorry. - That is the game. - I'm sorry, I'm sorry. - That is the game. - This episode-- - Wow. - Let's do another round. - Another category, Tommy. - Okay, I think we'll know you start. - Yes, yes. - But before we do that, I must say this story. And I'm like, maybe if I say it on the podcast, we'll make it get made. And it needs to be a one-off, and it needs to be maybe not on YouTube, 'cause it would lose monetization, but a game that Keanu and I wanted to pitch ages ago was try not to nut. And what it was was there was two screenshots of a porn but before it becomes a porn, when it's just like, hi, I'm, oh, you're my brother. Well, come on, you know, and it's just like a screenshot of like the acting part, and then like a hallmark movie, or like, you know, a student film or something. And so you have to choose which one isn't the porn based on the screenshot. And if you pick a porn, you get pelted with walnuts. - Oh, it was. - This was back in the punishment era. - Get pelted with walnuts. - I think you're gonna know which one's the porn. I think that they use a different camera filter. - It's a creamy one. - Okay, anyway, turn on to that. Obviously that didn't get made. And instead, Kiana said, what if we read Reddit stories? And here we are. - And here we are. - So those, they were on the same plane at one point. - Wow, I love that. - Okay, I'm gonna, I'll keep it broad still. I'm gonna say movies. - Okay. - Movies. Give me a good one. I want like a seven. That was crazy. - Got a seven. - That was crazy. - Seven's hard. Seven out of, let's do seven out of 10. - Okay. - Seven out of 10 on movies. So not too hot, but getting there. Hot, not boiling lava hot. This is where it's hard. Had he nailed down a seven hot take on movies. I almost think the more specific the category gets the easier it is to come up with. - Yeah. - The broad is a little challenging. - Yeah, movies, movies. Do you want to say movies from this past year? Hot takes on movies from this past year. - I'm throwing out 20, 25. - 20 just to help you narrow it down. - Paul Tom Sanderson is the best director ever. - Ooh, okay. Okay. - I see one battle after another, but I'm just saying. - Movies amazing. - And I'll say Alien Romulus was just the best. - Alien movie. - Oh my god. - Okay, Tommy, I think I got to get far into a man that I think was too fast. - You went past. - That's a hot take on this a very fast. - Do you agree with that? - I really liked Alien Romulus. - It was fun. - It was the best Alien movie. - That came out of my mouth. It was a little too crazy. - That's a nine call. - Me sure was. - Boo. - I loved it. - Yeah, I really got Barfee with that. - Yeah, he too. - I felt like. - I was like, oh. - And you know that was a real guy. - No, I know. - He basketball. - He basketball. - Did you know he basketballs? - He basketballs. - And he basketballs in that outfit. - Yeah, and the white dress is that Alien. - I'm not really wearing anything. - Yeah. - Ish. - Mm. - Yeah. - I. - Gorgeous. - Get that man on a runway. - Oh my god, no, seriously. - Well, okay. Here we go. - So I won. - You won that. - You won that. - Good job. - Okay. (laughing) - I can't do that one. (laughing) - My category is let's say you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you tubers, you tubers. - You tubers? - No. - No. - Okay. - I'm just kidding. You can do it. - I was gonna say Haram Bay, and that's why I wasn't. - Oh. - And I was like, we're not doing takes on Haram Bay. - Because he's right there. That's just 'cause I was like, and he can see you. - And he can see you. - Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. Animals. Okay, okay, here's your category. Gross animals. - Gross animals. - Fun. - Your take on gross animals, we got an eight. We got an eight. Gross animals. - Okay. - However you want to make that happen. - I have a, I have a take. - Okay. - Millipedes. - Yeah. - Cute. They are not gross, they are cute. And I believe that one. I've always thought millipedes are cute. - You should be shut down. - They're just, I don't know. Centipedes gross, millipedes cute. - Yeah. Remind me the difference. - Millipedes are the ones.

We brought it back when Amanda's thinking she does little air kisses. - This is really hard to think about. - I love just like thinking things that we do. It reminds me of that interview of Ethan Slater, where they ask him some questions. And he goes, he goes like, oh, and then he does a weird, he does like a weird smile thing off to the side. - It's like to fill time with the face. - Yeah. - Oh. - I'm struggling with this.

Here we go. I'm thinking of one that you specifically will think is really fun. Okay. I think this is a hot take, but I think Amanda, you might even agree with it. The Scorpion King is the rock's best movie. Name a better movie. - Well, he's bringing ten. He's bringing ten. Name a Moana. - Okay, fine, fine. Let's go. - The leading, the Scorpion King is the rock's best leading role. Like, okay, here's my take on the rock. Here's my ten take on the rock. Not buff. - Enough. - Enough. - Enough. - That's pretty f*cking good. - He's really buff. - Not enough. - He's big. - Hey. Here's my ten out of ten take. - Nah. - He's doubted it. - He's doubted it back a little bit recently. He's dialing it back, but my standpoint is before the dial back. - You're talking about at his peak, at his peak, fast-five. - The Scorpion King is a really, really good hot take, though. - That's true. How do you feel about the CGI? - No, that's the mummy returns. I'm talking about the Scorpion King. - That is the mummy returns. - No, but the Scorpion King has tons of CGI. - Yes. - It's like the one that. - It literally turns into all the f*cking scorpions. - Yeah, but he's showed up as the Scorpion King in the mummy first and the CGI is really bad. - And his head was. That was crazy. - Yeah. - I love the Scorpion King. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think I'm gonna have to go with Shane on this one. - God. - I'm so sorry Tommy. - Yeah. - When? - I love the Scorpion King, though. That movie is awesome. - Yeah. - I'm one. - I'm one. - I'm one. - I'm one. - I'm one. - I'm one. - I'm one. - Scorpion King. - Okay. - Yeah. - Sound or sentence of that number? - Love. - Who that number would be? - Love, love, love, love, love. Oh my gosh. A six. - Sound or sentence? - Hi guys. I'm just here hanging out and I want to sit on your lap. - Okay. - Hey, so I've got a pitch for you guys. And I think you're gonna want to hear it. - Oh my God. - All right, so. - God. - I've got my Tesla parked out there. It's mine. I own it. Well, it's a lease. But I own it. - Can I come sit in your Tesla? - Appelargic to tulips. (laughing) - Perfect. - So there's gonna be tulips at the wedding. I'm not gonna be able to bake it. - Yes, that's how I feel. - 'Cause they're sick. - Well, they're middle of the road. They're like the middle. They're like not so much a wet blanket. They're fine. - Right. There's just something a little, ugh. - There's something. I actually really love that game. Remember when we played "Husen Kus"? - I love "Husen Kus" for this. - Of course I played "Husen Kus". - Where we did the character stuff. - No, I don't think that was that one. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - It's very fun. I love also in challenge pit when we do the game where you have a number. - Yes. - And you're giving categories. You've got to like match that. I got the most stress I've ever been. I don't think this is aired yet. Or maybe it has or right around the time. If not, it's airing soon. Where we got the number four. Me and Arasha got the number four. And Chance was sitting in the seat in front of us. And for four. - Okay. The number four, he goes pop stars or pop divas. And I was like, oh, I was like, what do I say to that? I'm like, I'm gonna piss off everybody no matter what. 'Cause-- - What did you end up saying? - I ended up saying Addison Rae just 'cause I'm like, what's the like public opinion of like, I'm like, you know, I know she had an album this year or this past year that people did really like. I don't know much skin in the game, but I'm like, what do I say? Like, what pop divas are for? - I didn't know idea, what would you say? - I thought about it more. I would say Miley Cyrus circa 2012 when she was doing the like crazy-- - Goofy, goofy, goofy, goofy, goofy. - Goofy, goofy, goofy, goofy. - You don't do smiley Cyrus, I think is there. I think-- - That's pretty good. - I think since then she's now far beyond a four, but in that era four, 'cause it's not like, okay, you're not like a complete joke. You are talented. - Right. - But what are you doing? You're figuring it out. - That's pretty good. - But I felt bad. I was like, currently, I don't know who I say. - Yeah. - That's hard. - Yeah. - It's really hard. - I don't know who I would say. - I don't actually know. - It's too challenging. - Yeah, I also don't want to insult anybody's stuff. - Exactly, exactly. - I think how deep is this too. It's-- - You don't want to mess with that. - Courtney and I have played it just one on one. And my favorite category we've ever picked is you get a number. The category is Tom and Jerry Sounds. - I don't think I know them enough. - So you just, it's just like, - It's just like-- - Yeah. - And like-- - That's it. - Well, so like, I think I had-- (laughing) - I think I had a nine. And it was just like, I forget, this is more of a dizzy, but it was like cartoon noises. - Right, right, right. - And I got a nine. I did the like, (laughing) - It's like, yeah, that's a nine. - For the goofy. - The goofy lot. - What? - The goofy lot. (laughing) - All right, look, can we do it? - A gorge. - Should I do it really quick? - Do what? - The nut, that? Like you just said. - Oh, yeah, we need to find a way to pick a number. (laughing) - Oh, how crazy. - What? - Holy shit, okay, so you guys have to get the number. And I-- - This is Tom and Jerry sounds. - Do cartoon sounds. - Yes, cartoon sounds. - I'm not gonna look. - Okay, we see the number. We see the number. - Okay. - We'll lock the number. - All right, go for it. - Send it to business, okay. - Go for it. - Okay, we're making the number. Okay, okay, here it is. (laughing) - That's a good one. - Amanda. - Oh. (laughing) - It's gonna be okay. - It's gonna be okay. It's gonna be okay. - I'm not. - I'm not. - I'm not gonna be okay. - Maybe I'm biased. - Tommy, I really like that sound, but I don't think it's gonna be like the top of the like, top of sounds. It's 'cause very small, very subtle. I'm picking up, I'm gonna go with a, I'm both a five. - What about what I did? - I don't know what you did. I completely disregarded what you did. - That was an exasperated big dog. - Okay. - Oh. - I'll go with a fibrous, I'm gonna go with six. - No. - Okay, let's do. - It's a two. - Oh, see, I love that dog. - You have to know that I'm really cute. - I'm picking up something that I love that sound. It's a good sound. - It's a really good sound. You did it. - Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. - Okay, okay. - You didn't see it? - No. - I'm trying to try to do this. - Okay. (laughs) - Wow! - And your tick? - Toy! - I'm gonna pack up myself. - No, no, no, no, no. - I think my car is outside. - My lift, before you go, before you go. They wait for five minutes after you call them. Can you tell me what that was supposed to be? - I don't know, I won't, I can't recreate. I don't know what I did. I blacked out. - Okay. - I think, what did I do? - Right. - I'm gonna say six or seven. - It was an eight. - It was a 12. - I forgot those numbers were up there. - But if he'd said a 10, we would've counted that. I was trying to do Tom from Tom and Jerry like, when he like gets launched, when he gets lost, or when he yells, or when a hammer hits his hand, or something, I'm like, that's the big thing. - It's been a long time since I've watched cartoons, so I don't think that this is fair. - Have you not watched Tom and Jerry's? - I watched Tom and Jerry, but a long time ago, when I was a child. - My grandpa was watching Tom and Jerry up until the end, and he was laughing his ass off. - That's awesome. - He weren't really allowed to watch a lot of cartoons. - 'Cause violent. - I don't know, my dad just. - Your dad was scared to injure him. - He said it was like brain rot. - Brain rot? - Yeah, my dad, we weren't honest. - You need to show your dad actual brain rot. - We weren't allowed to watch run and stimpy. - You need to show, can you please show your dad actual brain rot? Like pull up tick, talking to like, this is Italian brain rot, dad. - Yeah. - You probably love it. That's the issue. - Probably, he's probably hooked on it all ready. - Can I give you a little bone to chew on? - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - So there's a positive thing you can participate in. Can you tell me about this beautiful red ring on your hand? - Yeah. - This is my wedding ring. - This is your wedding ring? - Yeah. - It's gorgeous. - It is really cool. That's gotta be one of the most unique wedding rings I've seen. - This is my wedding ring and then we designed this wedding band together. It has braided wheat on it, which back in the day, like a traditional way, braided wheat would mean like, oh, you work really hard together to like, create like the harvest, but in Belarus, you throw seeds and it just grows wild. So it's kinda like a hilarious thing about marriage. It's just like, it's really, really hard. Or you just, you give it a little love and then it goes like in the ground. - I just go, so I love the combo too, 'cause your wedding ring is all red and then you're the ring you have on the other finger. Turquoise. - Yeah. - So you've got blue and red. So if you ever get mugged, you'd be like, bam, fire, ice. - Or back the red pillar, the red pillar. - Oh, do a little matrix action, Adam, yeah. - Yeah, matrix. - Pretty cool. - I was gonna say that on one of the categories that matrix is the best movie ever. - Well, that's true. - This is the movie ever. - Matrix. - I have no, I love the matrix. - Selena has a segment for us. - Amanda might be good at. - Okay. - Oh, that's awesome.
