The transcript blends diverse topics ranging from animal rescue and clean living products to media analysis and internet culture. It begins with a heartfelt appeal to support bear rescue efforts in Armenia, followed by a product-driven segment promoting eco-friendly personal care. A central discussion on Survivor explores viewer preferences for watching only the final episodes, highlighting the show’s dramatic climax and emotional payoffs. The conversation expands into popular Reddit subreddits, where fans analyze tropes like "jumping the shark" or characters befriending prisoners, and reflect on media censorship, such as in Sailor Moon. A touching Reddit comment about wanting to have sex with a deceased spouse becomes a cultural touchstone for its emotional depth. The show also examines *Heated Rivalry*, praising its chemistry and realistic storytelling. A Boston snowstorm subreddit offers humor and insight into regional winter life, while the broader thread emphasizes how internet communities and media tropes reveal universal human experiences—ranging from grief and loyalty to resilience and humor. These elements together create a rich, reflective narrative about connection, shared experiences, and the power of storytelling across platforms.

it have you ever been on that subreddit yeah two guys you think it'd be sexy that's gotta be a
subreddit it's actually just sexy fight videos sexy I hope we're recording this probably great
all right hi welcome to smosh mouth I'm Shane and I'm Amanda and we have a very very special guest
with us today Noah
what up guys happy to be here Noah uh you sat down at this desk uh we've been sitting here for like
10 minutes before rolling and uh we've already talked about like 10 different things that we
have to come back to uh first off you said uh you brought up survivor and you said the best way to
watch survivor is to watch the final three episodes the final three episodes only you
like survivor right so I don't support that you do that I don't I don't like it I don't greenlight
it I don't appreciate it um
it's fine I do love survivor I am a survivor fan here's the deal I watched survivor when it first
came out I was like woo and then I stopped like everybody else and then the pandemic hit and then
me and my husband went ham ham on survivor and now survivor is the best best character watching
best people watching best like game what I love about it is like there's just enough drama
to keep me going where I don't feel like oh my god that was so toxic but there's not too much
drama you know what I'm saying yeah do you know what I'm saying I know what you're saying because
I watched the last three episodes of many seasons uh it's it's the best way to watch it because you
get kind of the the climax of the actual gaming yes segment and you also get in the last three
episodes people now realizing who they kind of fucked over yes can I say the f word yes oh yeah
and and realizing oh I'm gonna have to do one last smart move and really try to plead my case to
this jury of people that have effed over and then you see them go in front of the live audience and
try to plead their case and it's incredible you just see the fireworks at the end do you think
do you think it's better to only watch the final three or or are you saying like it's just the best
part so you you don't have to bother with the previous it lets you time travel a bit because
I'm watching it on like free streaming service so there's two different survivor channels two
different seasons going on all the time so I can hop between them and I just get in on like episode
14 and then I can flip back to the other one and I can just watch the final three episodes and I can
watch the other one and it's on episode 15 and so I'm able to just go back and forth and time travel
through all of survivor and just get the good parts this is so wild it's incredible here here's
here's a part for me is like the ending when they plead their case to the jury I find it to be the
most cringy part I actually love the beginning I I find the uncomfortableness of people feeling each
other out and making allies to be like my favorite part because I like to watch the beginning and then
the unraveling so you like to watch the beginning and then the unraveling so you like to watch the
where people have already come to clearness I like the beginning where they're just like hey nice to
meet you yeah I'm I'm I'm a writer and then it's like no one knows that I'm actually an actor
hey that guy's acting weird I think oh we got him see I like that stuff and then I like them going
like oh no I push people away oh no so you like it already when they've had the aha moment
mm-hmm oh god in the same way though they then have to sit there and then plead to everyone and
be like I realized on this island like I'm someone who pushes people away and it's been so great to
grow with you Kathy and I'm so sorry I took those bananas and made you starve and Kathy's like wet
bananas I'm 65 I'm a grandma and I should win because I'm a grandma it's like dude bitch you're
a grandma we don't that's fun but you're not gonna win because you're a grandma can you imagine being
65 because I've seen it now in multiple seasons and going through the same physical challenges
the other people do it's incredible it's incredible it's incredible it's incredible it's incredible
because they're not lying you really will get like a stomach parasite because you are trapped on an
island for two months yeah like you will come home with no money and the inability to gain weight for
like half a decade worse you really yes and they're all happy about it they take people away because
they haven't pooped in five days yeah they're like they're like bringing the team it's like
all right so we've checked you out you haven't pooped in five days so we're a little bit worried
about that you've got two minutes to shit right now we're gonna and you gotta show your work
I watched an old man get helicoptered out for that issue and he was at towards the very end
and the next day he did poop and he was at the jury and he was fine he could have stayed in
the competition oh I watched one guy like leave because he didn't poop and he was just like no
it's my dream and they're like sorry like we don't want to risk it if you haven't pooped yet
they're helicoptering him away he's trying to shit he's like I can do it
bring me back to the beach take me back to the beach
okay okay you're kind of slightly convincing me but here's the deal
I won't I want to see I want to see the beginning when they're all bright-eyed on the boat being
like going down on the ocean and then it's all their side thing it's like watch out world
and I'm about to slay all these people you want to see them pre-constipation
I want to see pre before the poop you just want to see the poop before the poop
after the shit and I'm sorry Noah no I there is a charm though Noah that like
and I'm so nostalgic for this of like back in the day before streaming when
you like would hop in halfway through a movie or hop hop into a TV show it's
like well the five first five episodes have aired you can't go back and watch
them so you have to start now and just pick things up and something about it
makes it like really fun to watch that is true we don't get that anymore so I
get it I do get it so are you gonna watch the
new season with Mike White I'm gonna hop in oh god last episode and I'm gonna
enjoy that season would you would you ever go on Survivor cuz you know Mari
went on Survivor did you watch that I for some reason I think I probably
watched it without knowing who she was yet she got eliminated very early I
think they like she was the first yeah I mean and and probably the right call she
she's a threat she's too good and she's also super nice so I feel like no one
would trust someone who's physically capable and legitimately nice they're like we don't
know what's up watching this new season of Traders it's the biggest problem with
like these types of shows is the smartest most capable people get eliminated first
yep so everyone's like you're gonna win get out of here right no but the the people who not in
Traders but Survivor the people who are like buff and fit they do not get eliminated they're just
held until they break apart in the merge because they need their like muscles or else no one gets
coconuts yeah for real no like again in Survivor they're really competing for coconuts and bananas I
have seen Jeff Probst look someone in the eye and say I'm so sorry no bananas tonight and you see
that this person hasn't eaten in 40 hours 40 hours no food you just did a puzzle and you need those
bananas to I actually hate that you're kind of right so much because I feel like you're cheating
but it's fine it's true the big guys get the coconuts and sometimes there's always like the
little firecracker girl who's like I can get the coconuts too and it's like girl you can't climb that tree Cynthia died last night
she was a grandma she was never gonna she was 65 years old you cannot get coconuts when you're 65.
that's why Survivor is so funny because people have this like they almost just like fight for
themselves they're like I'm this I'm this trope right like I'm this character and you better watch
your backs and then they get voted off first night uh okay I do need to watch this show you do I
watched it back when it first started and then I have it's totally back then was bad that was great
what are you talking about it was fantastic it was good but it was a little bit I watched the Boston
Rob his first season when he proposed at the end oh my God I watched that when it was airing that
season is so good yeah have you yes it was really good Boston Rob's been on like three times yeah he
has yeah but there was a first time where he met his wife Amber wow and they fell in love and they
were the final two wow it was like Hunger Games you have to watch the whole season dude that's
incredible oh my God that's so smart it was really matter what they win it's a 50 50 exactly and they
did oh love it that's the only reason he proposed is so that he could split the money he's playing
the long game yeah okay so before we continue uh I should let people know
what we're doing this episode.
Why are we here?
Sorry.
When I'm here, you get distracted.
No, no, it's great.
We are going to be going over some subreddits,
some other fun subreddits.
We have Reddit stories where we do
am I the asshole, all those.
But these are,
I think we're digging for like some hidden gems.
Some of them aren't so hidden of gems.
Yes.
One of them that I pulled
is actually one of the most popular right now,
but it's been kind of a recent popular subreddit.
But we're going to go over some of those.
However, before we continue,
something else we were talking about
before we started rolling is,
this is going to make a lot of listeners happy.
I finally watched the first episode of Heated Rivalry.
Oh my God, a scene.
Yeah, it was good.
It was pretty much what I expected.
I will say the sex scene stuff
wasn't as intense as I thought it was going to be.
Yeah.
It's a lot.
I'm like, wow, okay.
Yeah.
But it's not as insane as I thought.
I think people watch it
and they're like,
they don't normally watch stuff like that.
They're like, whoa,
have you seen it?
And I think that's them
like coming to terms
with that they also watched it.
And it's like, yeah, it's okay.
Yeah.
It's okay.
Bro, that's great marketing.
If I was on the marketing team,
I'd be like, oh my God,
we need to get as many people
who are like so surprised
and just blow that up.
That's such great.
I haven't seen it,
but is the hockey good?
There's not been a lot of hockey.
Good question.
Not a lot of hockey in the first episode.
There's not much hockey.
There's a lot of them.
It's a lot of like the stuff around the hockey, right?
Yes.
Like the,
getting drafted,
what team you're going to,
the practices,
the sponsorships,
kind of like everything around the sport,
but not as much of a sports show.
It's more like the training
that it takes to be a hockey player
or like the lifestyle
that it takes to be a hockey player vibes.
That's,
I would say they touch on that,
but it's mainly about them.
Yeah.
It's their story.
It's far more focused on them.
I hope there's some more sports stuff.
I love sports movies and sports shows.
So, you know,
just get some good like sports action,
go back to the hotel,
hotel room,
get some action,
get back out on the,
on the ring.
Get some ass action.
Butts never looked so good.
There were some butts.
So are you going to continue?
Yeah, I'll continue watching.
Yeah, of course.
I'm going to finish it.
I'm going back and forth
between that and task.
Get them.
I get them mixed up a little bit.
No.
If you,
get back on the rink.
Task and heated rivalry.
Those two shows do not go together at all.
This task force has got to get together.
Get these guys.
Yeah, task is like.
They're playing hockey too well.
They got to stop them.
Oh my God.
Such a dark aggressive.
I do have a question.
Do you think because of heated rivalry,
people are now going to like,
everybody's going to want to watch hockey
and go to hockey games?
It's a matter of how much the NHL
is going to like adopt.
Lean into it.
Lean into it.
Because like sports are,
are traditionally not very,
they haven't been very accepting
and very like,
there's no,
I don't know if there's any
openly gay players in the NHL.
The NHL is known for,
for their fist fights.
So like,
dude,
this Stanley Cup,
I think the first game,
two people go to fight instead,
they just start making out.
That's so hard.
Oh my God.
It would be the most watched
sports game this year.
The Super Bowl wouldn't come close.
I hope that they do
because I'm so ready
for these like hetero males
to be sitting there being like,
but like also pretty much into it.
You know what I'm saying?
They're going to be watching
being like,
get back,
get back to the ice.
Whatever sport like goes,
you know,
what we're going,
we're going for that.
You love hockey.
Get back to the ice.
I will say,
I watched a lot of ice hockey
when I was on the East Coast.
Well, yeah,
you were in Boston.
But.
Where heated rivalry,
some of it takes place.
Yeah, I know.
I know,
but we don't see,
that was my only qualm
is like,
I wanted to see more of Boston
and whatever.
The heated rivalry
is an impressive show
on a production standpoint
because I think the budget's
really small.
And so what they're managing
to do with such a small budget
is actually pretty incredible.
It's actually a very contained show.
They should,
they should,
they should have shot
all in Canada.
I would assume.
I think it's a Toronto
based production,
but a lot of it's hotel rooms.
A lot of it's like,
I'm very impressed
with shows and movies
where it's like,
at a certain point,
you're like,
wait,
they shot most of this
in one room,
but they made it feel
bigger than that.
And that's heated rivalry.
The chemistry is just so.
Chemistry is great.
The chemistry is great on screen.
And then if you watch
like TikToks of them
doing interviews,
they just have so much fun.
Oh yeah.
So much respect,
so much fun.
They just have
really good chemistry.
Yeah, they're,
the acting is fantastic.
Yeah.
Are they in a relationship
in real life?
No.
I think one of the guys is,
I think one of the guys
is straight.
The guy who plays Shane,
I'm pretty sure is straight.
Yeah, I know him.
Yeah.
So I do a pretty good job at it.
Before I started watching the show,
I feel like a month or so ago
when it was out,
I was getting a lot of DMs
and things being like,
are you watching heated rivalry?
There's Shane in it.
And I'm like, great man.
Yeah, that's how I work.
If there's Shane in anything,
I have to watch it.
Wow.
People think that you
love yourself so much.
That's so cool.
That's so cool.
That's so cool.
His name is spelled
differently than mine,
but you know,
normal Shane.
He looks totally different too.
He looks very different.
I will say,
oh, I don't want to say anything
because you haven't watched it,
but when you watch it,
there's moments
where you're just like.
Oh, I've heard,
I've heard that
the first three episodes
is like, oh, that's the sex.
And then after that,
it's like, oh,
it's just a genuinely
really sweet,
really great show.
Yeah.
But it's shot really well.
It's written really well.
And the acting's great.
Maybe I'll check out
the last three episodes.
Shall we get into
some subreddits?
Let's do it.
I'm excited.
Yeah, me too.
I was searching all day yesterday,
but Selena found a few as well.
So we're going to start
with a simple one
that Selena found.
This is called
WTWFOTMJAJTRATCAB.
Why?
What that stands for
is when the water flows
over the milk jar
at just the right angle,
that creates a bubble.
Oh, we love that.
Sometimes I get a good feeling.
What is happening?
These guys have way too much time
on their fucking hands.
To be like. Sorry, sorry,
Courtney had me watch burlesque recently.
Wagon what you said.
Wagon what you said.
I was watching that
and I was like,
Amanda is Cher.
I am literally Cher.
Wagon what you said.
Wagon wheel what you see.
God, Cher,
when she has her solo in burlesque,
and you're just like. What's her song?
It doesn't matter,
but she's like. It's like Midnight.
Oh, we need to run.
She's like,
Cher, hit it.
I can't lose my club.
That movie's insane.
It's the best movie ever.
It literally starts,
it's just like,
it's like Christina Aguilera
walking into this club
and also just like,
ah, sometimes.
She's like,
what the fuck?
Tess, give me a chance.
Wagon what you said.
Courtney had the volume
up so high,
when Christina Aguilera
blasts that,
our cats ran upstairs.
Dude.
Sorry, completely.
That movie is the best movie
on this planet.
That is what Courtney said,
and I was like,
yeah.
No, it is the best movie ever.
No, no.
It is the most 2010 movie
to ever exist.
And I'm sorry,
but it's every girl's dream
to be like,
yeah, by night,
I'm a burlesque dancer.
The bartender who wears
a bowler cap
and only a vest.
Yeah, and he's just like. I'm like,
that's 2010,
as a guy.
Anyways.
Panic at the disco.
Moving on.
So what we have here
are photos.
So for our listeners,
we'll do our best
to explain it.
But you know,
it's kind of similar
to like laminar flow, right?
Where when the water
hits something just right
and it creates
this perfect shape.
Yeah.
So we have a few images here.
We have decrystallizing
Chambord.
So I guess they had
Chambord in the freezer.
Okay.
So they're pouring water on it
and it creates a perfect
year around it.
We can put the image up.
Wow.
It looks gorgeous.
For our listeners,
it created a perfect bubble
over a Chambord bottle.
Doesn't that make you
want to be a little frog
in there?
Yeah.
Like I want to be
a little frog underneath there.
I want to be a little frog
underneath there.
Look at this.
This is over a soy sauce bottle.
That is a perfect,
perfect half sphere.
I like to call that
a water tit
and that's a good water tit
right there.
A water tit?
That is a water tit.
You can say that.
Ooh.
Milk jug effect
at a beautiful fountain
at Disney.
Wow.
Look at this one.
That one's a perfect bubble.
Now that's a milk jug.
Whoa.
10 out of 10 right there.
Oh boy.
Why does a Disney fountain
look like they're like
in Italy?
That's what they're going for.
That's what messes me up
sometimes at Disney
where you're just like,
whoa, I'm in Italia.
But you're like,
no, I'm in Disney.
No.
Well, that's because
it's different lands.
No, yeah.
It's like frontier land.
Yeah.
And Paris.
Yeah, Epcot.
Epcot is insane.
As a kid,
whenever I'd go
in the lines
at those Disneyland places,
I was so little,
I could kind of get behind things
and see areas
you weren't fully aware of.
And it was very interesting
to see the difference
between like fake cobweb
and real cobweb
like on the same thing.
So I'd be like,
oh, this is fun.
And then I'd be like,
oh, wait, no,
that's real spiders.
You're like, ew, yucky.
Disney's not fun anymore.
Real stuff, yuck.
I hate this.
I want only illusion.
Yeah.
Okay.
Our next subreddit.
Okay.
That one was
a pretty good subreddit.
That was a really good subreddit.
I love like imagery subreddits.
The next one is Boston.
Oh my God.
Let me see.
Let me see.
Give me this.
Okay.
These are the ones that I found
because as we're talking right now,
obviously huge snowstorm,
but I found some Pats fans ones.
This is Boston
and it just says Pats fans
and it's like a bunch of dudes
in Pats jerseys
pushing like a,
probably a Honda Civic
in like,
I think five feet of snow
or above.
It's like negative 10 degrees.
Yeah.
And you know what?
This was my life for a long time.
long time. You were like, oh, I have to leave. And then you'd leave two hours
just to shovel out your car you should just not go anywhere growing up in arizona and living in
los angeles i have such a romanticized idea about snow and living in the snow but i'm sure
living anywhere with snow you hate it so much you what happens is the first snowfall you feel like
oh my god it's snowing and then when things get canceled you're like what the hell and then you
have to you really have to dig out your car to get anywhere yeah my brother because my family
lives in colorado so my brother was like dude i have to wake up at 5 a.m to shovel out the driveway
it sucks yep i'm like ah just have another chore yep like that sounds awful i know just get like a
just get like a snowmobile at that point just just commit that six months out of the year you
have a snowmobile and that's it that's how you're getting around you know what you do is what we did
growing up is we like made friends with the plow guy who did our street and we would be like
you know what you do is what we did growing up is we like made friends with the plow guy who did our
street and we would be like you know what you do is what we did growing up is we like made friends with
can you do our because they're not supposed to do your driveways they get paid by the town by the
city to plow the streets if you slimp them a benji yeah yeah exactly um don't people have heated
don't people have heated driveways those people are rich dude that's an insane amount yeah i saw
i saw a video of someone like installing a heated driveway i was like that's crazy yeah i'm sure
that's an absurd amount of money i'm kind of like no i think i think there's something about if you're
there and choose to live there yeah you need to spend the hour shoveling that was my upbringing
it's just like my mom's like i'll give you girls 20 bucks to shovel for two hours really i think i
think every wherever you live you have to earn it like in arizona you when if you're gonna live there
you have to run full speed out of cacti at some point you know just to experience it you have to
sizzle the bottom of your foot at least yeah you have to walk barefoot out on the on the sidewalk
yeah you do okay this is another um snow one whom whomever gets to the bottom of your foot
gets this spot at my spouse's spot in east boston after we leave you're welcome i don't know why
they mentioned the spouses so east boston so there's this picture oh my god there's so much
snow so this guy the car is completely covered he's about to shovel out his car and that means
it'll be an open spot an open spot and those are hard to get damn how fast can that this car is
that overnight or is it this is overnight this is like an hour an hour and a half so the best thing
to do is start to shovel out then once you've kind of shoveled out you turn your car on you
heat it up and then you have to ice scrape the top oh no i think i'd just die in my car well yeah i
think that's what i think i'd leave my car i think i'd be like i'm not getting that back you know
what if i was on the east coast dude i'd be building tunnels why don't why don't we got i'd
be a tunnel from my house to my friend's house that's it everyone in boston just go underground
no you would come out of your house like a normal bostonian
and just be like oh this is wicked shitty this is wicked shitty dude ziplines i get on my roof
and i zipline where i need to go i avoid the ice in the street well some people ski skiing down
the somerville bike path somerville is where i used to live it's uh around cambridge by davis
square these people are skiing down the bike path just like cross-country skiing which you were
talking about before we were filming basically to get to work you were trying to convince us that
it's it's fun it is fun dude no
i don't think it sounds fun it is fun and it's really really hard hey you know all the joy of
skiing what if you did it uh on flatland what if you didn't ski you ever ran a marathon with
weights on your feet guys it's fun you ever ran a marathon but you're kind of stuck that east coast
in you you you like get tortured your whole life and you're like wait it's actually fun
being from california i feel like a place called somerville is telling you when you should be
there you know what i mean yeah it's a good point it's right in the name it's not spelt summer
no it should be it's spelled s-o-m-e-r summer like somber like sadness like only some of us stay
so summer part of the year summer somerville i love somerville so fun okay here's the last one
in boston sorry you just made me think of east coast smallville i'm so sorry east coast smallville
bostonian superman yeah dude don't trust i'm flying wicked fast right now i love that show
anyways you would love smallville i loved that show why how many seasons did you do
you watch it was on for like 50 years did you watch it was truly on forever smallville was on
no it wasn't it was like nine seasons no it had like guys smallville was on forever i watched
everything superman i watched the lois uh lois and clark lois and clark 10 seasons 10 seasons
whoa yeah i watched it all and then you know about the the cult that those ladies were in
i also watched that you're gonna have to tell me another episode where you tell me about a
one of the leads from smallville was in a oh was it nexium not one multiple multiple from smallville
yeah the lead girl wait wait multiple people in one cult or one person in multiple cults
the first one okay okay yeah wild pretty fun all right new year's in fenway this is actually my
favorite there's something that you should know but there's just it's just super snowy and a high
heel open-toed high heel sparkly like stiletto yes that's silver
here's the deal about boston it doesn't matter how cold it is or how snowy it is women are always
gonna wear like it's the summer they're gonna wear little skirts and high heels and no jacket
because they don't want to carry it i was one of them wow so this and they got platinum blonde hair
they've got spray tans is that crazy by now the patriots might have won the super bowl
and you're gonna have to go no i'm just kidding i might go platinum anyways um so this is like
my favorite last picture of the year i'm gonna have to go platinum i'm gonna have to go platinum

red sox or a team wins is the city crazy because when because when the eagles won the super bowl
phil so have you heard about how when philadelphia when the eagles won the super bowl they have they
grease up the the light post oh so no one can so people don't climb oh that's so they still find a
way oh dude squirrel technology against them so smart holy dude next get the aluminum um but like
it is boston that type of boston it's gotta be they're they're nuts they are absolutely crazy
and and the time i experienced the most i was at college at umass amherst and the i think the red
socks won the world series and they broke they broke the curse they broke the curse
cars were flipped over cars were on fire there were a thousand cops on horses with tear gas
every chick in their dorm room was just flashing people it was one of the it was a very thrilling
fun night um also living in boston they tried to like flip over buses i don't think they oiled up
any of the lampposts but they should have yeah people were climbing on they should have like
stuck all the cars to the ground boston cream took me way too long to get there i'm so sorry
what happens is you got there and then you immediately said it took me way too long to
get there because it did land that plane noah land it sully that joke yeah come on dude
fenway was my favorite place in boston i went as a kid that was seeing the green monster was
incredible it's my favorite i've heard fenway park is amazing it is it is so fun because they
have old school stands um everything is right there it's they close off the streets you like
walk the streets there's amazing food vendors um the bleacher bar is like the best spot to be it's
a bar underneath the bleachers oh that's out in the outfield and they open it up so you're just
sitting there you can watch the game in the outfield sports games are are really cool
i love the right because i went to the uh i went to the afc championship game uh with the broncos
against the patriots and it was like a bunch of patriots broncos fans and a snowstorm happened
midway through the game and like all everybody there was just like kind of having a great time
because it was so insane we were all covered in snow but it was awesome i love that even though
the broncos lost i still had a great time well you just described the patriots game with you so
what on the other side i was watching the patriots i know we were texting each other
i was sending her photos of me covered in snow it was it was fun rivalry yeah he did yeah honestly
though there was a really sweet moment because i was there with my brothers and there was patriots
fans and like we're all talking shit of course at times uh but um at one point in the middle of the
snow uh my brothers and i and some of these patriots fans like grabbed each other we're like
this is what it's all about because like the snow was just blasting us we're like well we're not
leaving dude i feel like that's a male platonic hallmark movie totally that's what you just
described you go to the football game and you're like oh my god i'm gonna go to the football game
in the snow yeah you get the people on the other team and you guys just become best friends well
it was kind of like us against the elements too right like the game was happening but it was also
like yeah we're not gonna let this snowstorm scare us away i love i love that i i miss going
to games like that yeah this episode moving on moving on uh this subreddit has been probably
one of my favorites recently um and it's been popping up a ton on my feed and it's always a
so the way it works is someone will post a character trope whether they hate it they love it
whatever they feel about it you post a trope and then all the comments have to find other examples
of it love it and it can be kind of anywhere it could be video games tv shows books uh uh movies
um or real life sometimes people are like here's an example in real life did you already have this
on there we've mentioned this didn't i send this to you i sent this to selena i was like oh we
should do this one that's so funny yeah so i found a bunch of good examples um so the first one that
i i have is love trope the main cast in a horror movie isn't a group of morons and they're
examples are the townies in tremors because they're really they truly are like figuring it
out and they're like they're not just dumb asses and then uh the prime example is the arctic crew
in uh the thing oh yeah because they're truly a team of scientists and someone points out it's
like throughout that entire movie of the thing i'm trying not to spoil it too much they truly do the
smartest thing that they can that they can that they are aware of they're just being outsmarted
and out played by this thing um it's really epic uh then uh the top comment in response is
the team from predator arnold schwarzenegger and all of them it's like but they just so good they
didn't know they were fighting an alien yeah so they're doing everything they can a great job at
it yeah because from their perspective i'm in a movie for them they're really just like shooting
at nothing in a jungle yeah like fully nothing and they're pretty close to doing it and arnold
at the end like he he doesn't it's why um so there's the movie prey right
um which was which was a woman a young woman uh she was a comanche uh i think she was comanche or
apache uh and i think she's comanche and um some people were like oh this is like obviously the
super toxic people come out and they're like oh of course they have like a woman it's like
arnold was didn't beat the predator because he was strong he beat him because he out you have
to outwit exactly the predator and she outwitted him as well outplay exactly survivor and we're
back to survivor
um i i need to re-watch predator but i loved prey i love i've not watched uh i've not watched
predator badlands but i'm kind of like an alien predator fanatic but i've never watched alien
versus predator wait do we think that alien did a the movie alien do we think that that group of
people did a good job yes that was also an example in here people were saying that they are a good
example as well no i mean i think they overall they're reacting yeah in a smart way people are
just pointing out like a lot of movies
it's i don't like when people die in horror movies purely out of stupidity screen i i get scared when
people do everything they can i think halloween's a good example halloween is so good uh jamie lee
curtis does respond like she responds very well to michael myers and is like i'm gonna stay away
from this i love halloween i'm gonna fight back i'm gonna go where i should go try to get help
the way i can but he's truly this force that keeps coming that was filmed in pasadena yeah
like shut down that house during halloween and you can like walk through it oh that's and i went
there one halloween and it was just a michael myers standing on the porch waving at everyone
hey guys um another trope is when a character goes to prison and befriends all the prisoners
oh my goodness and all the rest of the development is my first thought arrest
brought up here yeah george paddington does it sorry and paddington is the top it's the one that
they posted they go yes paddington 2 he goes to when someone explained the plot of paddington 2 to
me they're like because i've seen paddington and they're like have you seen paddington 2 i still
haven't but someone was like oh paddington 2 and i'm like what's the plot and they go he goes to
prison i was like they send a sweet little bear to prison he goes to prison that's the plot i heard
it's a really good movie it's really good people say it's the best movie of all time what yeah i'm
not kidding people say paddington 2 do you agree noah
i have seen paddington i do not remember it i was way too high and i cried too much
i'm not even kidding i straight up i got too high and i cried too much i know the first one
cried a lot and i loved it the second one i got too emotional i truly don't remember it
oh my god i know i've seen it because it's on like a watch history i think you need to watch
it again yeah but it takes me a while to watch things that make me cry no yeah that makes sense
it's hard to see um the post has two examples it's paddington 2 and then cecil from invisible
uh which is a the comic show but george senior from arrested development also tobias later in
the series it happens multiple times in the rest of development it also happens two or three times
in avatar the last airbender oh you're right and i think it's uh uncle i wrote yeah him that also
goes yeah uh wow it's it's it's interesting this subreddit makes me realize like how often
tropes are used i'm like that's such a specific trope and it's i feel like every movie has seven
different stories and they're all just using all of them with like similar tropes and and it we
love it because there's like a nice familiarity to it yeah it's like reading books yeah yeah
i like i like cliche me too like i i think it's it's around it can be done differently with the
characters in the relationship it's always a different taste yeah here's a very specific one
censorship accidentally making things worse oh yeah and where this happens a lot is they reference
a lot of cartoons
primary example of this and it's there's multiple aspects in this is sailor moon from the 90s i love
sailor oh so in sailor moon sailor neptune and sailor uh uranus were a lesbian couple in the
original japanese version but were censored to be cousins in the american dubbed version oh so
inadvertently inadvertently making them seem like an incestuous lesbian couple bro and people
recalled this our friends who i watched some of the show i didn't watch it i love it but people
were like yeah it was
it was weird because it's like oh we're cousins but there's some weird tension because originally
they were uh they were supposed to be a couple now it also in sailor moon someone pointed out
later on don't forget fish eye from sailor moon fish eye is a feminine presenting male
the they to censor this they just fish eyed they turned them into a female but they kept the above
scene where at one point they take their top off and they're shirtless and they're like so rather
than having to explain that fish eye is male they would rather have a flat chested female flash her
chest to everyone um this makes no sense i censorship is just it's silly right and it
kind of shows like we are we make things worse in the process of trying if you're young you're
watching it you're like oh do i have to like my cousin yeah you don't understand um and the other
example they give is batman the animated series censors didn't allow depictions of death so the
victims were shown frozen in place and they were not allowed to be censored so they were not allowed to be
it's eyes wide open with eerie smiles and no explanation this is somehow even more disturbing
and they have this photo from it where the joker had taken out some people
wow and it's just like oh are they just like in a horrible stuck state who decided this i know
they're just not thinking about it it's like but um can i real quick i just want to say being a
censor is secretly a dream job of mine kind of like being on jury duty where it's like it sounds
like hell and that's kind of what i like i would love nothing more than to be a censor
than to be in the mud with some of the dumbest people all trying to explain why we need to like
censor something and just sit there and just go through the minutiae and just get to explain why
what they're suggesting is the dumbest thing ever it does it does actually make me talk shit it makes
me uh wish i could be in the room for when they're like uh deciding the rating for a video game yes
like what's that process like you know and i'm like do they really play the game like what are
they doing do they just read the game and they're like oh my god i'm like oh my god i'm like oh my
like a description that was given by the the people who produce it who knows i want to be in
there and you want to also be on jury duty in in yes if it's actually asked and then they were like
oh yeah it's 15 a day right i can't do that you can't do that okay you want to be in a place where
you can like play both sides and almost be like devil's advocate and be like okay here's why this
doesn't work situation so you want to be it's it's like devil's advocate but if i'm i'm the angel like
you want something to happen and you're like oh my god i'm like oh my god i'm like oh my god i'm
so then i get to sit here and just be like what you said is so fucking stupid explain to me but
now break it down into points and we can go one by one why what you said is stupid and we can maybe
make it better wow yeah that's like i would love to have that be a lawyer if i was if i had less
add i probably could have done it that's what i was gonna do before i committed to smosh that was
my out in the contract was to go to lmu to be a lawyer yeah and then i was like the entertainment
industry i don't really see i'm not about to be an entertainment lawyer and i didn't know if i
could get into criminal law and like tort stuff and it doesn't matter hey instead i'm here you
still can't i feel like choice because being a lawyer is one of those jobs that media makes it
sound cool but i'm like gotta be one of the most boring jobs yeah fucking planet when i almost got
jury duty last year that whole process i was like i would die if i was because these lawyers the
it's so mundane what they're going through i feel like i would love it i just literally i wish time
could stop so then i could do it i genuinely don't have i love i love
reading but not like they're able to read boring shit yeah all day yeah you know what would i just
the last three days of jury duty you know what i mean oh my god just the last three days yeah
you tagged his right you're just like all right guys what i missed yeah the closing cases and
then he's guilty for sure uh-huh i can't stand they're like this is a civil case yeah he's guilty
go and present him to execution yeah kill him uh this next one is when the example is so iconic the
whole trope is not true
named after it um so one of the top comment because i'll go to the post the top comment
is jumping the shark yeah we've all heard the term jumping the shark what is that originally
from so when wait wait henry winkler right you got it fonzie so oh you know when people go the
show like oh it's like how's it doing it's like oh the show jumped the shark with that episode or
oh the movie jumped the shark with that that it's a phrase that's used when it's like they've gone
too far it's about to like lose its quality like all right it's not good anymore yeah
um on happy days uh there was a later in one of the later seasons the fonz is dared to jump a shark
on water skis
haha
This is considered by many to be the defining moment
when happy days started to decline in quality.
Well, yeah.
I guess some people are saying
that there's an opposite name for this trope
for when a show finds its footing
and begins to improve called Growing the Beard.
And it references Star Trek Next Generation
when one of the characters started to grow a beard
and like, I guess the first season or two of Next Generation.
Are we talking about not Kirk, but the secondary, Picard.
No, so Picard is there.
And then who's his second?
Is his second the one who grows the beard?
The second grows the beard.
That's what I was about to say
because watching the show, I would agree with that.
I've heard Next Generation is like one of the best shows.
Wait, they're saying Growing the Beard is like leveling up?
When a show, you know how most shows,
the first or second season are a little bit like,
oh, you got to get through it.
And then like, for instance,
one of my favorite shows, Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
I feel like the first season is kind of like.
They're figuring it out.
And then second, third season.
I think the third season, oftentimes the shows,
it's like, it's always the best season.
I'm kind of with you on that.
Third season rocks all the time.
I'm still watching Breaking Bad, still.
Whoa, where are you at right now?
I'm on the last season.
Oh.
I thought the third season was incredible.
Third season is.
But then the fourth season was like, what?
Fourth season might be the best out of that one.
Third and fourth seasons are always insane.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So there are examples though.
You might not get some of these.
Equivalent Exchange from Full Metal Alchemist.
Power.
Power, it comes at a proportional cost.
Now, here's one that blows my mind.
Have you ever heard the phrase,
when someone's talking about like a traumatic event,
that someone like, you did this to me.
It's like, I'm sorry, but I don't remember any of it.
You don't remember?
For you, that was the most important day in your life.
For me, it was a Tuesday.
We've heard that phrase.
Uh-huh, yep.
You know what that's from?
What?
Street Fighter, the movie.
Wow.
Is Street Fighter Jean-Claude Van Damme?
Van Damme?
Yeah.
Yeah, that movie is.
Regarded as being a dog shit movie,
I didn't realize that badass quote is from it.
Damn.
It's M. Bison saying that to Chun-Li, I think.
And then she kicks his ass.
That's the best time.
That's like the climax time where they come
and they finally face the person
that has been like ruining their lives forever.
And it's usually like a daughter, father,
or whatever, a son, father.
And then it's just like.
Yeah, the villain is like, dude, that was another day.
There was another post that I didn't pull.
Of like the trope of when it's like,
I'm here to avenge my father.
And the villain goes, I don't even know who you are.
Yeah.
Like that's a very common trope as well.
Love it.
That also is badass.
And then they also reference Doombot.
You destroyed a decoy.
The real deal is still out there.
Like that was first presented by, I think,
Dr. Doom in Fantastic Four in the comics.
Where it's like, they think they beat Dr. Doom.
And it's like, oh no, that was not the real Dr. Doom.
There's a decoy.
Well, that can also work for when you face your enemy.
Your father or whatever.
And then he's just like, I don't even know who you are.
And then you have to face the real enemy,
which is like inside yourself.
Whoa.
It's actually you.
I love this.
This is one of my favorites.
Love trope.
Story hints at the existence of some cosmic supernatural horror,
but it's never definitively confirmed within the story,
which remains grounded.
Yes.
Their example is True Detective season one.
Oh, love it.
I love that show.
Yeah.
I love it so much.
And in it, it's like them searching for a serial killer.
But throughout the entire show, watching it,
you think there's going to be supernatural elements.
There's weird shit.
Oh, yes.
Where like the killer leaves this sign that's like this spiral.
And at one point, like Matthew McConaughey looks out
and these birds in this area create that spiral.
And you're like, is there like some weird mystical stuff going on?
Never confirmed though.
Yeah.
But you just kind of have the feeling of like, maybe.
I feel like all of True Detective kind of did that.
But what it was is that like the killers were always,
in this like culty kind of psychological place
that it made it feel like, oh, are we all tripping right now?
The setting too of like, kind of like Everglades,
like just out of civilization, but it's not too far.
Yes.
Yeah.
It's so fun.
It's so good.
An example that's brought up is Moby Dick.
Because in the novel,
the whales described as having strange carvings on it
is seemingly invincible and covered in harpoons.
People have visions, dreams, and warnings
while hungry.
Everyone who encounters it seems to be a bit mad
or have some extreme misfortune.
Comes across as very eldritch.
And there's some minor evidence it even served
as an inspiration for Lovecraft.
Ahab's obsession also following very Lovecraftian themes.
Or it's just a fucking whale.
Well, that's the thing is our brains as humans,
we will not accept the logical answer.
So we want to create all of these.
Now here's the deal.
The newest True Detective that was set in Alaska,
like a part of me,
they had that kind of fantastical kind of element.
But I was kind of interested in that.
Like the indigenous element of that.
There are spirits that have like passed on
that are calling you because it's like dark 24 seven
during a certain period.
Like I kind of want to believe in that.
But a lot of people are like,
oh, it's your mind as a person trying to like,
you know, you know when kids experience trauma
and they create a monster,
like a monster in their room or something like that.
It's kind of like that.
It's something I love in movies and TV shows.
I love the like,
is there something more happening?
I don't know.
Personifying your fears.
Yeah, it's awesome.
There's the movie.
I need to rewatch it.
The movie, The Lighthouse with Robert Pattinson.
I've never seen it.
Oh, yeah.
That goes crazy,
but it's kind of in a fun way.
Similar where it's like,
it's probably about a madman,
but it's like,
are there mermaids?
Yeah.
I mean,
if there's mermaids,
that's, I mean,
multiple crimes.
Of course there's mermaids.
Against humanity and mermaids,
I think,
but I want to say on that.
Bad either way.
Yeah.
On that trope is,
a lot of the times,
and it's usually done horribly,
is they do reveal
kind of what might be supernatural
and try to make it logical,
and usually it completely destroys something,
but when it's done well,
it becomes my favorite thing ever.
Both of you,
have you guys watched Dark?
Netflix Dark?
Yes, I love Dark.
I need to watch it.
You need to.
I know that it's apparently.
I've yet to see a show,
that show came out like five years ago.
I've heard it's the most
like perfectly tied up show.
Dark is so incredible.
They do three seasons,
and it's like done over three,
four years.
Yep.
I have to be like,
from the first episode,
you knew what the last episode was,
and that's unbelievable to me.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Jonas,
Jonas,
I need to watch it.
It is so good.
I've heard,
someone described it being
one of the most perfectly
like tied up shows.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's the only time of recent history
that the trope of actually revealing it
is better than you not revealing it.
Yes.
It's probably the only time.
Yes.
Yeah.
And I want something else like it.
I have yet to get it.
The creators tried to do a new series.
I was not a big fan.
The ship.
I forget what the ship was called,
like 1972 or something.
Oh, I watched the first like two episodes,
and I wasn't into it too.
I didn't know if it was
because it was period-y,
period-y.
It just wasn't that.
Yeah, interesting.
It didn't hit as well,
which is okay.
Huh.
Yeah, definitely watch it.
Everyone watch that.
Okay.
It was so good.
Before we get onto these other ones,
I want to talk about,
there is a subreddit called
The Museum of Reddit.
Oh, this is fun.
And The Museum of Reddit,
it's all the most famous things
that have ever happened on Reddit,
like old school stuff.
Oh, fun.
I only pulled one thing,
and I can't remember
if I brought this up
in one of our last Reddit episodes,
but it is one of the most famous comments
on Reddit,
to the point that people quote it all the time.
Like if you're surfing through Reddit
and you're looking at a post,
people might quote this.
It comes from 10 years ago.
Who?
Cute.
And there was an Ask Reddit post.
2016.
Where someone posted,
you can have sex with one real person
from all of human history.
Who is your ultimate lay?
And someone comments.
Top comment goes,
I'd like to have sex one more time
with my wife who passed away from cancer
nine years ago.
My body yearns for hers.
The ultimate downside to finding the one
is she may die young
and leave you wanting.

good deal yeah i'm trying to do the math on that how many taco bell orders do you have to get to

severance package they just got fired they're like here's mild sauce is that can i get one hot
yeah yeah can i get fired it's like no you're fired yeah get out of here
you're fired you get mild sauce damn bro damn um another subreddit is confidently incorrect
i think i've brought this one up before that's me all day it's so it's so insane
we're gonna argue before we google because then it's a competition it's fun god it was famous uh
so recently um there was a famous video of this penguin marching off into the mountains and uh
i didn't find this on the subreddit but uh a penguin marching off into the mountains
the the mountains and it was on tiktok and someone commented like there was a quote and
someone's like nichi spoke of this and someone's like have you read nichi he's like no have you
and the guy goes no i'm like that is so many conversations you find um this was on tiktok
but here are some uh confidently incorrect posts so this is a conversation between multiple people
one guy goes did you know mammals cannot be green and someone replied kermit would like a word
and someone goes kermit is not a mammal and that guy responds lmao of course he's a mammal his
surname is literally the frog it's it's so great what the hell is happening oh god um what a life
what a life kermit is uh you know he's a hand so technically he's a mammal technically i guess
technically he is kermit specifically he's the only mammalian
frog well is kermit the puppet or is kermit the hand kermit is the dream kermit is not kermit is
the vision he is not a puppet kermit is a real frog okay so he's an amphibian kermit is an
amphibian okay he's real he's saying somewhere over the rainbow enough enough okay someone
said spanish and dutch are european someone said dutch is spanish isn't and he goes spain is in
europe and this person responds wrong again
it's in south america no and there's one oh boy okay buddy no wait is that a time traveler buddy
like dark oh yeah is this a conquistador yeah it's 1542 over here bro yeah no that's so sad
i know you kind of i love that no one else commented they were just like we're gonna let
this one lie we're just gonna let you go man all right dang the final subreddit that i have
uh is uh hygiene hmm
oh let's talk about it uh there's a lot of posts a lot of them are just kind of a little more
normal people just discussing like what what they do how often they wash their hair like things like
that um but occasionally people will post people will post things and they'll be like hey like i
was told this is normal or i was raised thinking this is normal is this normal and it's like so
far out there um because people don't talk about a lot of hygiene things no they they don't we don't
we're very uncomfortable talking about something uncomfortable it's like we don't want to admit
so so a lot of like bathroom habits and things go undiscussed and people don't you got to figure it
out and you just cross your fingers you figure it out before you're 18 well bathroom habits are
talked about shower habits are a little bit different everyone's talking so here's one that
has me thinking definitely uh someone goes my roommate perceives me as dirty for reusing my
towel and now i'm so perplexed i'm currently sitting in my room feeling pretty judged and
honestly just confused i moved in with a new roommate a couple weeks ago and everything was
fine until this morning i'm like oh my god i'm so perplexed i'm so perplexed i'm so perplexed i'm so
she saw me hanging up my towel after a shower and asked how long i'd been using that specific one
i told her it's my towel for the week and i usually just swap it out every sunday when i do laundry
she looked at me like i just confessed to a crime she said she uses a fresh towel every single time
she showers because reusing one is swapping bacteria back and forth growing up my family's
logic was always that you're at your absolute cleanest when you step out of the shower you're
just scrubbed you just scrubbed yourself so the towel stays clean you just hang it up let it dry
and it's fine for the next day and i'm like oh my god i'm so perplexed i'm so perplexed i'm so
my mom and grandma have always done it this way now she's acting like i'm a walking petri dish
she says the dampness makes it a breeding ground for mold but it's just water and it dries in a
few hours anyway i genuinely didn't realize people were out here doing an entire load of
laundry just for towels every few days it seems like a massive waste of time if you're already
clean am i actually gross like how many times are you guys using a towel before it goes in the
hamper i'm starting to wonder if my whole family is just an outlier or she is um um first of all
she's ruining the environment whoa whoa whoa whoa first of all she's killing the moon
first of all the moon is dying first of all because of her first of all she's the worst
person i've ever seen in my life um washing your towel every shower is that's no seven
towels a week i want to speak on this because okay that is how i used to live and i think the
difference is whether or not you have in unit laundry when i still lived at my parents house
i could do towels every single day i could do towels every single day i could do towels every
day i could do a ton of laundry whenever so i could do do you use a fresh towel each shower
now living in an apartment i will not share a towel over days but i'll share a towel with my
girlfriend so technically they are correct a wet towel sitting in any part of your house is going
to grow mildew mold to some degree obviously that is normal as in the normal person has some layers
of this on them all the time because most people can't do enough towels to have one fresh every
day well i mean
if it's sitting on its drying the top comment i think kind of nails it because we live in la which
is pretty dry so it can dry off like it actually it's not like it's going to develop mold i would
hope because where are you hanging it that it's not touching anything we're not near your toilet
you're hanging it off your towel rack or towel rack a towel rack so it's perfectly where's your
towel rack it's in the in the bathroom in the bathroom but where you take a poopoo peepee
i don't take poopoo peepee in the bathroom i do it in the air i poop upward
someone said i found it varies wildly depending on where someone grew up if you grew up somewhere
super humid your towel never really dries and it gets gross fast oh yeah so i can see that maybe
if you're near the equator if you're somewhere tropical that maybe it's like yeah you have to
swap them out more because they don't dry off but like growing up in arizona that place was so dry
yeah you hang up your towel even in the bathroom it's dry after an hour i just yeah i definitely
reuse my towel not like over many many days but i think once a week isn't i would never judge
someone for once a week i wouldn't judge someone for once a week but i will say after after a week
i would say i would say even a week is a little like i think you got two days of putting that on
your body after that that's a foot towel i'm gonna say like three to four okay all right okay use a
towel like you do jeans how does that make you feel what do you say like what do you mean how
often do i wash my jeans yeah not that often but that's what you can get three to four every five
years or something really oh my god i was like wait a minute you gotta be wearing real denim
a lot of like i was like wait that checks whoa a lot of a lot of like raw denim enthusiasts
put them in the freezer or whatever yeah on the topic though of showers and stuff there was a
comment it was asking the question do you shower at night or in the morning showering before bed
pros keeps your bed clean it's relaxing at night uh if you wake up late you are still clean cons
you might smell sweaty if you sweat during the night if your bed is dirty then you're dirty for
the next day these are all things i could think of but i would love to know what you do and why
you do it i am if i'm going to wash my hair which is
normally once maybe twice a week i shower at night okay i sleep with my hair wet which i know people
are like what the hell is wrong with you yeah yeah so i lay out like a a cotton thing and then i sleep
with my hair wet which i know people like you could get sick but it works better for my hair
because it's curly and i just like showering at night i just find it to be better it's very
i want to get into bed like clean yeah i get that that's my vibes yeah i i usually uh always was uh
morning shower if i'm going to work i'm always going to morning shower uh depending on how bad
my depression is maybe that'll change but when i'm doing good always going to morning shower and
then night shower as well uh if i'm going to be like in bed with my girlfriend or anything like
that because she's like germaphobic about the bed and i get that but i am like a night sweater so
even if i shower at night you have like it's a morning i'm gonna shower yeah you're still gonna
sweat that's fine i'm a morning i shower yeah morning every time because my my hair i have to
wash it like my hair oh dude i didn't even think about i wake up i wake up and my hair is people
talk about how insane my hair is all the time uh when i wake up it is in insane ways and unless i
shower i cannot manipulate it really that's so interesting because you'd never expect because
if i sleep on my side my hair is just straight up it's like truly like even if i wet it in the sink
it like i have to like so i need to get in the shower to get it to a place where i can rework it
do you have really straight hair yeah like if you grow your hair would it be stick straight and
blonde yes whoa well when i had so my hair when i was a teenager it was really long and it went
it parted straight down the middle because i could not get it to not do that straight down and then
because of my shoulders and stuff it would like flare out whoa you were like full 60s dude it was
ridiculous man i was wonderful that's amazing uh not wham uh what's no no no you were uh
oh hansen brothers yeah you were the hansen brothers
no i wish i was wham yeah i was like no they've got they've got volume i wish i could have george
michael's hair his hair rocked oh no my hair my hair was not coiffed my hair was straight
i would love to see you with like a blunt cut just like whoa it truly would just be flat i like it
dude that's if you ever booked like the next austin powers that would be you're that henchman

no remember when i did austin powers impression did it go well we did a short of it and it got
like zero views oh no one knows negative 10 views yeah people left well i guess austin powers now
also is like very sexually forward and people might not get the irony of the character he was
doing like the gold member anyways um well that's all the subreddits whoa yeah i love
