Smosh is transitioning its studio from Rancho Cucamonga to Oxnard, a move that sparks both excitement and curiosity among the hosts. The temporary studio is described as charming, with a favorite chair that has become a symbol of their daily routine—though it will be replaced in the new space. This shift also brings new visibility, as the new setup will show their lower bodies, prompting lighthearted conversations about clothing and personal comfort. A major highlight is the real-life fan event, "The Gathering of 100 Chosens," where fans dressed as chosen characters in a Los Angeles park, creating a joyful, immersive experience that underscores the deep connection fans have with Smosh’s content. Fans in the Philippines also organized a birthday celebration for Trevor, demonstrating global reach and community spirit. The hosts also explore the appeal of the game Pokopia, where players build habitats for Pokémon, praising its creativity and emotional depth. A humorous group text about Resident Evil t-shirts leads to Spencer’s enthusiasm for a "girl dinner" shirt, which he plans to wear with pride. The episode concludes with a thoughtful discussion on modern smut in literature, where Trevor favors fantasy settings with slow-burn tension over direct, early scenes, emphasizing character development and world-building as essential to engaging storytelling. Throughout, the conversation reflects on fan creativity, shared humor, and the joy of community.
Hi, welcome to Smosh Mouth. I'm Shane.
And I'm Amanda, and we have a very wonderful guest with us today, Trevor.
Oh, I'm wonderful.
You're wonderful. I said special before, and now I'm saying wonderful.
Because we're in a different place.
Yeah. Look at this place. It's wonderful.
We feel like a normal podcast, I feel like.
It's so beautiful. Look at all the toucans. Oh, my God.
Yeah. Toucans everywhere.
I actually didn't know that until right now.
My tiny picture.
We had to bring him.
Of course.
We had to bring him.
Rambe is everywhere with me.
For those who don't know, Smosh is moving its studios from Rancho Cucamonga to Oxnard.
Oxnard is a really cool place.
I've actually never been to Oxnard.
What?
Oh, that's crazy. I've been there so many times.
My parents. That's where my parents are from.
Really?
Yeah, Ventura and Oxnard. They went to high school there.
That's crazy.
I've heard it's gorgeous, which the name doesn't sound gorgeous.
It sounds like Oxford.
It sounds like Oxford in England. So that's what's helping me.
But Nard? Nard? Nard?
It's a beautiful place. It's crazy.
I love it.
It doesn't sound like a beach town.
Ventura. Ventura sounds so much more.
Ventura sounds more like a long beach, obviously.
Yeah, Ventura.
Ventura.
But Oxnard sounds like it's in the middle of nowhere.
It sounds like there's a lot of universities around.
Yeah.
We're not vibing on Oxnard.
I have Oxnard as different in my head than you guys.
I think so.
Okay.
You're thinking of it as academic.
Well, yes.
And I just see like a bunch of car dealerships.
It's an academic school that people are fighting for their lives and they have to bond with a dragon.
And if they don't bond with a dragon, they will die.
That's just fourth wing.
See, I see it as the place that I would go sometimes when I was a kid to visit family.
Yeah, you're too close to it.
Yeah, I'm too close. I can't have an opinion on Oxnard.
Yeah, you shouldn't have an opinion on that. I totally get that.
But anyways, moving our studios. So in the meantime, we're filming here.
We're here.
We're filming here.
At just a temporary. And it's so cute.
Yeah.
This chair.
It's very nice.
This chair is actually incredible.
I got to say, I'm so comfy.
I am excited to get a new chair for Reddit Stories.
Whoa.
I need it.
You and chair have been having problems.
Well, that chair. I sat in Shane's chair for two seconds during a live stream.
What is wrong with that chair?
I don't actually know.
It's like a consistent. You want to go backwards, but that's not the point of it.
It's far more leaned back than it looks.
Yeah.
And it doesn't have armrests.
No.
It's not really. It's not good.
It was just the chair we had.
And we just threw it out there back in the day.
And then we just didn't change it because we were just like, "Yeah."
But you sit there for hours.
Shane sometimes sleeps in that chair.
That's how long he does Reddit Stories for.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We stopped down for a little bit.
I'm like, "Let me just take a nap right here."
Sleepy.
Sometimes overnight.
Yeah.
You know.
Yeah.
We don't want you to do that anymore.
In the new space, you can't do that.
That's what I've heard.
Yeah. We're getting a new chair.
I don't know.
I don't know exactly what the new chair is going to be like.
I hope it's something like this.
This is one of the most comfortable chairs I've ever sat in.
Can I just say, I just got so conscious of the fact that now people can see my lower half.
Because normally we're sitting at the table and I'm like, "It doesn't matter what I'm doing with my legs."
And I just thought about it.
And I just immediately started fidgeting.
I'm like, "Do my legs look weird?"
Your legs look great.
Thank you.
That's why I'm wearing socks.
No.
And your shoes match the top.
Okay.
That's great.
Thank you.
I do. When we're filming a couple episodes of Smosh Mouth, it is nice that I don't have to wear
pants.
It's nice that I don't have to worry about what pants I'm wearing.
Mm-hmm.
If it, like, works.
Oh, yeah.
As a whole outfit.
Pantsless is my favorite.
Sometimes I'll just go Winnie the Pooh.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No.
At the table?
I have noticed that.
It's tough for me to be focused.
It is really tough.
It's hard to ignore.
Well.
He comes in and just strips and then sits.
Yeah, I was wearing pants, but I take them off to sit on that little tiny school chair.
Yeah.
The new set will show your lower halves.
The new set's going to show our lower halves?
What?
Fuck!
Dude!
You know what?
Because I always wear nice lower halves.
Yeah.
I always put on my nicest lower halves.
Yeah.
Wow.
My lower halves.
Everybody loves my lower halves.
That's crazy.
I got to get new pants.
I need to go pants.
Shane and I never change our pants for Smosh Mouth.
We'll just change our shirts.
I try not to.
I try to wear one pair of pants for a whole shoot day.
Yeah.
It does make outfits tough.
Mm-hmm.
I do end up wearing just white t-shirt and something over it pretty much every day.
Because I'm like, what else works with four different variations?
Like, there's nothing wrong with wearing a white t-shirt.
If I could wear a white t-shirt every day, I would.
But me in a white t-shirt is weird.
Like, me in like a--
I don't know.
It just makes me feel like I went to gym class and I forgot my gym shirt.
You got to try it out sometime.
I guess.
I'll try it.
I'll wear it with a gold chain.
It depends on what type of white t-shirt, too.
We should do a video and we just all, like, wear white t-shirts and jeans
and then pretend that it was an accident and be like, what?
Whoa.
Can't believe we all did this.
How did we all do this?
This is wild.
I just spoiled it.
Now everybody knows.
Nobody knows.
It's OK.
Nobody knows.
So we haven't actually recorded a new episode of this show in a minute
because we kind of batched up a bunch of episodes before we left our old studio.
It's been almost a month.
It's been like a month.
And a lot has happened in a month.
Angela and Chance and Olivia played us.
Yeah.
That was so fun.
That was a great episode.
That was unbelievable.
Loved that.
Very fun episode.
But yeah, so much happened maybe in our lives.
Just in general as well.
Punch.
Oh.
I hate that video.
Don't talk to me about Punch.
Every video.
I do not like those videos.
So Courtney had a prediction for this year.
And it was that monkeys are going to do something new.
And--
Reject their own?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Bully.
Be a huge loser.
Yeah.
Because Punch, like--
Whoa.
Whoa.
Are you saying Punch is a loser?
Just everybody hates him.
Like, he's kind of a reject.
Dude.
OK.
Crazy Punch taste.
I'm kidding.
Everybody hates him.
I'm not punching down right now.
Whoa.
Everybody hates him?
That means you hate him, Shayne?
No.
I'm saying the monkeys hate him.
I'm learning so much.
In the monkey world.
So do you agree with them?
No.
But I am a homo sapien.
I am far, far more intelligent.
He's a homo all right.
Yeah, dude.
No.
The Punch videos, they are brutal.
But then you'll see a video where it's like, oh,
one of the monkeys likes him and is hugging him.
And then in, like, the next video, it's like, that monkey
doesn't like him anymore.
Dude, it is.
I'm like, what the fuck is going on?
That first day I learned about Punch
was such a roller coaster.
Because I saw--
I was like, oh my god, this monkey is getting bullied.
And I wanted to cry.
20 minutes later, I see a video.
Actually, the monkey has a friend now.
And I was like, yes!
And then another video comes, and it's
the monkeys being mean again.
I'm like, what's going on?
All I can think about is, like, you know,
fuck those other monkeys.
Like, Punch is awesome.
He's clearly awesome and ahead of his time.
That's how I look at that situation.
Yeah.
He's a Renaissance man.
Yeah, exactly.
It's really hard for me to watch.
I really-- that story needs to turn out well.
Like, he needs to inevitably--
What do you think is going to happen?
I just-- I'm like, if he never gets
accepted fully into that tribe.
Why do you think--
what is the possible reason why a monkey would not be accepted?
Is it their scent?
Like, what is it?
I'm not-- I'm not--
No, I know this.
Sure.
This is just an opinion.
OK, OK.
Like, our assumptions?
Opinions.
Yeah.
I think it's, like, kind of power dynamics in the animal
kingdom.
Like, one monkey's kind of being mean to be like,
yeah, I'm a big dog.
Like, it's kind of, like, very human of, like,
I'm going to bully this kid because I want people to see
that I'm strong.
But everyone is--
everyone's bullying him.
Everyone's--
Yeah.
I wonder if it's just a hierarchy thing.
Like, you add one monkey to the chain.
And it's just like, all right, where do you fit in here?
Because there's an order to things.
So if you're added, who is above you and who's below you?
Yeah.
Well, it's like Planet of the Apes, you know?
Yeah.
It's like they hated Caesar when--
and you know, Planet of the Apes is crazy because--
Caesar was rude.
--because it's like--
what?
Because Caesar was mean.
I didn't like Caesar either.
Caesar was mean in Planet of the Apes?
Wasn't he?
Am I crazy?
I don't think so.
I feel like he just was kind of a monkey.
It's been a minute since I've watched all of Planet of the Apes.
Yeah.
I'm forgetting.
I'm-- but, like, the whole thing is, like, you know,
they're-- all those monkeys are so mad they want to break out
because there's no space, you know, in the enclosure.
And it's like you'd think they'd just build a bigger--
So you think maybe the little one
is just taking up a little bit too much space.
The bigger one.
You get a fake surprise.
I think maybe he has a different scent on him,
and they feel like he's not part of them.
My cats are that way, but cats are obviously so different.
But, like, when my one cat goes to the vet and he comes back,
our other cat hates him for days.
Because of a different scent?
Hates him.
Like, truly hates him.
I'm sticking with this.
And then suddenly one day is normal.
I just don't know how monkeys work.
Maybe--
How do monkeys work?
Guys--
How do monkeys work?
How do monkeys work?
You know, actually, that happens to me
when I come home from a smosh shoot.
Raven hates me for, like, a few hours.
I don't think it's how you smell.
Hey.
What the fuck?
Is it my scent?
Oh, it's your scent.
It's Shayne and Amanda's scent.
Because I smell different.
She doesn't recognize me.
Maybe give Punch a little tiny, like, Porsche.
Gun.
Give him a gun.
Could you imagine the next--
Take away the stuffed animal.
Give him a gun.
The next video, it's just Punch with a gun.
And he's just holding it up.
Ah!
All right.
You're cool.
I like it.
OK.
So that prediction.
We could kind of mark that off.
Yeah, we could.
Yeah.
But another prediction that I think
came true, effectively, I said there'd
be a gathering of 100 Chosens.
Oh my god.
And within a month--
And one Sarah Christ.
And one Sarah Christ.
There was one Sarah Christ.
Yeah, so--
So talk to us about it.
Within a month--
within, like, January of this year,
after making that prediction, some fans here in LA
started organizing.
They started organizing a gathering of Chosens
that would happen at a park.
And it was like, oh, this is picking up steam.
Like, they're really organizing this.
There was posters--
Mm-hmm.
uh like echo park and stuff for it it was awesome and um we started talking about it and then uh
our head of social team erica was like should we should we like send you should you go and i was
like sure like absolutely like and you know when i saw it was happening i was like yeah like i would
be down to go um and i was like well i need to go as the chosen like like yeah like the chosen goes
and uh my dream was to kind of just show up and just try to like sneak in and just be like part
of the crowd it's like what's up i'm another chosen here um but they were like okay it's
protocol here at smosh like you need to have like a bodyguard just in case i was like we're not
gonna need it but yeah yeah and so we had this like huge like six foot five guy probably probably
huge huge bodyguard and uh we put him in a chosen shirt
and i was trying to explain
the character this is this guy who's worked for like 40 years as a bodyguard and he's like so
what's his deal like what's the chosen deal does he like does he like howl and stuff i was like not
really but he just is like he just likes wolves on a shirt but you know whatever and i could howl
he was like he's like so am i part of the wolf pack now i was like yeah man sure um he's like
guarded precedents before normally i guard people who need protection i love i was really trying to
get the backstory he's like okay what's his motivation have enemies that i need to look
out for i love that but uh so we show up to this park and um everybody stayed in character
and it was awesome uh i truly was just kind of blown away i i actually genuinely felt like i was
like intruding on like an event right yeah so i was like oh i didn't technically that's epic i
didn't say i was coming on partiful you know i showed up and so i walk up and they're in the
different skills different skills to establish that you're a chosen there's many skills the
winner gets a copy of blade 2 okay okay good and i start walking on blu-ray they truly kind of like
everybody kind of like parts like and like opens up and i'm like suddenly in the middle of the
crowd and they're all just kind of staring at me and i was like i did not prepare a speech like i
i'm just gonna show up and say hey and like hang out as the chosen and then i was like i gotta say
something and um i was just saying like truly it was like so cool i was like this is i was kind of
blown away are you saying it as shane or in the church i was trying to stay in chosen but it was
hard i was like this is trippy because i'm not performing i'm just here hanging out but i am
this character and everybody else is this character um and like even we were getting
like a group photo like one of the chosen's turned to me and he had like a sigh which is one of those
sick like ninja turtles uh knives he's like he's like chosen do you need a weapon and i was like
no i'm okay thank you like i was like this is incredible yeah um it was so much fun that is so
cool i saw the video and i was just like this is epic it was genuinely so sick like i was like i
can't believe this um so i really like shout out to everybody who organized it and went um and i'm
sure there's gonna be more gatherings throughout this year i think i've heard about others
happening and uh it's really so cool like i uh i love that people find joy in that character
it's so cool i i i think it's so epic that you like predicted that and then they all you know
people have people are busy and doing their thing but they all came together and i love that they all
stayed in character yeah yeah that's incredible one of the chosen's uh towards the end of the
gathering uh stopped me as i was like leaving they're just like chosen they're like uh just
so you know uh as an actual virgin stolen valor and i was like that's the funniest shit
i was like dude these people rock

in the philippines as well which is crazy because that's where she's from she was visiting her
family and she didn't see the she didn't see the billboard also because there's a lot of traffic

for a few weeks to play basketball and so i was just in the philippines with my friends for a few
weeks and we had friends and they taught me this song uh called basketball basketball and it's
funny because it was so clear that it was like a like an inappropriate like double meaning song
and they're like we have to show you this song about basketball like you're gonna love it it's
about basketball meaning yeah and then they're like the
the song is like basketball basketball basketball and i believe means like tasty or something

about playing pokopia dude i don't know what you just said okay hey let's let's talk about earlier
let's let the men talk for a second oh wait i forgot trevor's back on the pot and i hate you
i like you trevor and then you get on the pod and something snaps gentlemen shall we go to
the cigar lounge and talk about pokopia
tell me what this is is this uh i i yeah the more i try to explain it
the dumber it's gonna sound well and i love that it's just like it's like a
community builder it's like a stardew valley type animal crossing type you go into a world
and it's all about just like you've got kind of this blank slate and then you make
Make it your own.
This doesn't sound stupid.
This sounds fun.
You can build homes.
You can build things.
Decorate.
What do you say?
Water the grass.
Find Pokemon.
But it's really fun because it's Pokemon.
So it's like, you know, you can find Pokemon and they join your community.
And it's cute because instead of like catching the Pokemon, you build little habitats for them.
So it's like each Pokemon is like, oh, you want to build like grass under a shaded tree.
And then you build that.
And then a Pokemon comes and lives there.
Oh, wait, that's really cute.
Yeah, it's awesome.
Sounds like you guys are like the town mayor or town construction workers.
Yes, kind of.
Pretty much, yeah.
Pretty much.
You're a ditto.
Yeah.
Ditto.
Yeah.
You know that one.
Ditto.
Like when Patrick Swayze said it in Ghost when she said, I love you.
And he said, ditto.
Yeah.
I love that.
I love that pottery scene.
Speaking of video games, though.
Speaking of video games, though, a new Resident Evil came out.
Oh, I know.
Trust me.
And it sucks that we're in the middle of a move because I know Spencer is dying.
It's going to happen.
To play it with you and Angela.
Angela ordered t-shirts for us.
I'm actually not kidding.
What?
Yep.
What do you mean t-shirts?
So we're on a really cool group text.
It's a Resident Evil group text.
Me, Spencer, and Angela.
Sorry.
Angela ordered us all Resident Evil t-shirts.
What do they have on?
Does it just say Resident Evil?
Does it say like.
It's like me on, on, on.
No, I can't remember.
I could like literally pull up the picture.
Do you own it yet?
I don't own it yet.
She ordered it.
She's ordered.
Okay.
She told us to Venmo her.
I'm not sure if we will.
Did she ask if we wanted it?
That's the funniest thing.
Ordering something for someone without telling them.
I mean, like, and can you Venmo me for that?
Oh, also, can you, you need to spot me for this.
It's possible that we're not going to Venmo her.
I don't think, I don't think I would.
Okay.
Here it is.
It's so good.
It literally says girl dinner on it.
Bro.
And it's just Leon Kennedy.
It's just Leon.
Well, it's all the versions of him.
Oh, nice.
That's great.
Because, you know, we did the video on games where Spencer had a PowerPoint and explained
all of the lore of Resident Evil, which I was like, this is epic.
I wish I knew.
It's freaking crazy.
So the iterations of him is all, it's like, he becomes like a baddie, like later.
The funniest part about that is that I guarantee you Spencer will wear that shirt more than
either of you.
No.
100%.
He will.
100%.
Because girl dinner is fun, but it's like, I kind of reject the term.
But Spencer wearing it's the funniest version.
But Spencer wearing girl dinner is the greatest thing ever.
He's going to have that thing tucked in, denim jacket over it, with the boots on.
With the boots.
With his mug.
With his mug, full of Kickstarter.
Can I clear the air real quick about the mug situation?
Okay.
So remember when we did Guess Who Walked?
Yeah.
And I did impression of Spencer.
And everyone's like-
And you had a lean to him.
And everyone's like, what's wrong with you?
Why would you do that, you monster?
I was leaning.
Because he-
And I brought it up to Spencer and he agreed.
It's because he has a mug.
And you were saying he's leaning because it's more of a choice.
He's leaning in-
Because he's kind of like-
The way he walks is he leans into a conversation.
That's why I walked with such an aggressive lean.
I see what you're saying.
I overdid it.
No, I think you nailed it.
But I did nail it like in here.
Oh.
Oof.
Whoa.
What?
Hold on.
What?
Keep going.
Can you keep-
Oh, damn it.
You just wind it.
I want to do this.
I want to do this one justice so much.
Can you do a little bit more than a couple steps?
Huh.
Hey.
I think I have it.
Keep going.
Keep going.
Oh.
And it doesn't say Sadie.
Am I not killing this?
God, I see it.
It's the-
I'm getting some vibes.
Or also this.
Your walks were very good in that video.
Yeah.
Angela really enjoyed hers.
You gave people a lot to think about.
A lot to assess.
That video was a thinker.
That's what I was saying.
If I'm going to do an impression of you, I'm going to do it honestly, from my point of view.
You just, yeah, you go.
You go.
I just went on.
I don't think I did.
I didn't do you.
No, I don't think.
No, I didn't do you.
I don't think so.
I don't know how I would do you.
I'd love to see that.
People pointed out that a lot of your impressions of people's walks, they're like looking up.
And that's because from your perspective, everyone is probably looking up.
Yeah.
That's so good.
I didn't realize that.
Yeah.
And that makes so much sense.
Some of them I think it's the case.
Like, I think you did an impression of Noah.
Well, Noah always looks up in general.
And Noah is very much like that.
But you're taller than me.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And that's one.
I got one.
But you didn't do Trevor.
No, Trevor wasn't in that.
I didn't pick a Trevor.
I wouldn't know.
I feel like you've got a pretty like.
His is bouncy.
Bouncy.
A little bouncy.
High bounce.
And like limber.
And like.
It's really fun.
Yeah.
Look, for listeners and viewers, impersonate your friends' walks.
Yeah.
That's crazy.
It's very fun.
I never thought about how I walk.
I walk way too fast.
That is one thing, is I have to consciously slow myself down.
I walk fast too.
You walk really fast.
It's because when I was young and I wasn't tall, my dad never slowed down.
Oh, yeah.
Like, my dad's tall.
And so as a kid, I was like, I had to book it to keep up with him.
Yeah.
And then I carried that.
And now I have long legs.
And I haven't adjusted.
So I just.
I like that.
And my family.
My family is fast walkers too.
Yeah.
Yeah.
My dad.
Same.
Moves.
I don't know what it is about those.
Yeah.
my dad moves I don't know what it is about about those Gen Xers or whatever they had places to be
no I my mom too she's like do we want to go uh get a coffee I'm like yeah but I don't even I
turned she's gone like there's a cloud of dust no literally like it's like an image flashes through
my eyes and she is booking it it's crazy and she doesn't stop sometimes I'm like mom there is an
actual do not walk sign and she she will not stop it's like she's she's um programmed I think if she
stops she's afraid it'll be done like it'll be over with it's also not just walking like my dad
I'll be home and he'll be like hey you want to like leave at like 5 30 to like go to dinner I'm
like yeah that's great and then he'll like text me at 5 20 he's like I'm in the car whenever you're
ready I'm like dude what do you mean like what you're sitting in the car and he's probably already
been in there for like five minutes like he's been sitting there for 15 minutes oh yeah my dad
picked me up from the airport he's been there for two hours yeah he has dunkin donuts his second
dunkin donuts coffee and he's like yeah you know I parked he parks in the same spot and he explains
it to me every time you know I parked we got to take the elevator I'm like I know where you parked
dad I know where you parked I know where you'll be you've been here he's like I get up at four
in the morning what is with older people who just wake up at four and that's it they wake up at four
they're always like or my they're always my dad's 15 minutes early to the movies
without fail like we'll go see a movie and I'm like dude genuinely the previews are starting
five minutes late like AMC in the app has a thing that says your movie is not gonna start until 25
to 30 minutes after the time it says I'm like what are we doing here I gotta sit in the chair
for an hour before the movie starts I don't like the new previews that they have though they have
like they have like weird like little dumber previews before the actual previews yeah I don't
know tell me why I don't know they just have like it's it's just AMC's own little things I don't
know I I went to go see Wuthering Heights on my birthday and we were literally four minutes late
which was a crime awful I hate being late for the movies we walked in the middle of a scene
that I was like what wait you were late for the movie itself or the previews I was literally I
thought the so we got there five minutes so they said the movie starts at you know one or whatever
was a crime okay but there were no previews it was straight into the movie and you already missed a
little bit you already missed a little bit of the movie I would I would leave I'd be so mad I can't
do the open if you know what the opening scene is I walked into do you guys have you seen it no that's
fine if you have seen it I walked into that opening scene where they're above and you see
that well now I'm not gonna see it yeah now I know everything yeah no I would not be able to
freaking loved it yeah there are there are things that I'm like I wish but I loved it I heard a lot
about that movie I loved it and everyone's like it's not Wuthering Heights I'm like do you really
want Wuthering Heights do you want that story yeah but it is I haven't seen it but I feel like
it happens with every book adaption nowadays where everyone's really mad but I'm like what I did
because I would be pissed off about movies adapted from books and then I started being like you know
it's a whole new thing I just treat it as like this is a whole new story it's loosely based on
this book I like but if I want the book then it's good I'm gonna be disappointed every time
but it's hard it's hard when you read a book it's really hard really really into it especially if
you listen to the audio I remember listening to girl on the train audiobook and then I watched
the movie and I was like they're not even British what and Emily Blunt was the lead and she wasn't
she was speaking English like American yeah I was like well huh so I get the up the upset but
there's so many iterations of Wuthering Heights you can literally see Tom Hardy meet his wife
in real life in Wuthering Heights like that's how they met like Ray Fiennes in Wuthering Heights like
there's so many iterations yeah they're not it's Ray Fiennes and Tom Hardy have both been in
Wuthering Heights yeah I didn't know that yes I didn't I don't know I don't have Wuthering Heights
knowledge like that I guess them all I've seen them all whoa literally I I love the story is so
it's like a Romeo and Juliet it's very tragic I think I tried to read Wuthering Heights a long
time ago and I got like 20 pages in I was like no I read it in high school but I'll give it a shot
again yeah I read it in high school this is a different
this is a similar iteration it's just basically like like a love that like you literally can't
breathe without them but it's just this like i need to uh i'm gonna get into some more classics
soon i've been kind of behind on reading but for the past couple years i've been reading a lot of
like what's coming out this year right uh what are you most excited about that i bought recently
yeah um uh let's see a lot uh east of eden i have been meaning to read that for forever people
who've read it are like it's one of the best books of all time um i bought beloved by tony
morrison which i've also heard is like that's one of the best read that book yeah and then crime and
punishment is one of those like yep classic classics i'm like i gotta read this at some
point a movie oh there's been movies made about almost all of those i think but um yeah just
classics are they're you know it's
an undertaking it's not like as like oh i'm just gonna have a good time and read this it's like
all right there are yeah intense themes here and and a lot to think about and you know i end up
rereading pages and a lot of rereading pages yeah yeah it's a little bit more of a challenge as
opposed to like a relaxing enjoyment thing yeah so that's why i haven't i feel that way that many
a long time i know my non-fiction grind and the reading and there's a lot of rereading pages where
i'm like i gotta make sure i i caught all that there's a lot of words here i do audiobooks for
non-fiction because uh with fiction with audiobooks i have a really hard time with like
staying focused sometimes especially if i'm like doing something while i'm listening to it
and if i miss like a minute or two i'm like the fuck just happened yeah yeah um and it's hard to
like rewind it all the time uh so i books are tough i do non-fiction for audiobooks because
you can miss a little bit and it's it's okay for me for me it really depends on the reader i oh
reading so my voice it's not like amanda reading it's like i change my voice according to the
characters or whatever's going on sometimes the reader can be really distracting yeah to me um
but i love i i listen to this this other one where there's three readers three different readers
and they all have this like really intense irish accent and i was so into it really really into
that but like yeah audiobooks it's all about the reader for me
has to have um yeah that makes sense to the book for me i get that i don't mind i do you ever do
like an audiobook and then also have the physical book like a listen read along i've never done that
but i find it nice i think when there's times where a book i've like struggled with reading
a book whether for whatever reason like if i'm like i'm just like struggling to keep focus while
reading this page being able to hear it and it's like uh i i watch everything with subtitles me too
i watch everything with subtitles because i'm like i just like to be able to make sure that
i'm hearing and like reading along so it's like with an audiobook i'm like i'm hearing it and i'm
reading it and it just helps me stay focused wait i did actually do this i did it with um
have you ever heard of covenant of water it's like a very thick book he also wrote uh it's a
very it's a very medical book which i didn't realize but it like spans through all these
different stories in india and the book was amazing but so much so much so i did a lot of
i did also tag team with audio and i i found that that was like the best way to get through it but i
don't often do that i know people i know people who read like fantasy books who really want to
get to it yeah yeah and they literally don't have enough time to move their hands so they'll listen
to audio yeah and they'll listen to it on like 1.5 or two two speed because they need to get
i'm just like damn happening okay i love fantasy and i can't do it fantasy because
if i'm like really locked on a book i read too fast for an audiobook i'm
like i i'm flipping pages too fast and the voice yeah i love an audiobook and i've done fantasy
books on audio uh like with an audiobook but there's times where i feel like i'm like if i
really am like into like if it's an intense part i'm like i just want to go and sometimes they're
just yes or or i'm sorry but sometimes the audio is like and then he took his hand and they're
always like it's like they're walking uphill and they're talking and i'm like they're performing
it too much it's like you gotta gotta move yeah yeah to me i
i don't read fantasy i don't have this voice in my head when i'm reading he thrusts his you know
i'm not like yeah reading in in a in a in a lord of the rings voice i'm reading in my voice
especially with the type of book you're reading yeah yeah did i say fantasy
to be clear you started that that sentence
my head was like yeah he thrusts a sword sentence no god when they're smart i was saying this to
earlier in the morning i don't know why but when they're smut there's so much you the smut has to
be earned those are the type of books i love because there's so much more going on there's
like so much tension and relationship and courts and politics so when the smut happens you're just
like can i ask what your like least favorite uh like word or or synonym or phrases for a penis
oh my god i love this is it like like i hate it well i love member i think member is so funny
it's used a lot i uh sorry he asked you but also shane reads smut i i well i only read one recently
i read this book called icebreaker and oh what do they say because that's more of a modern book
i i i don't think i'm trying to remember if she used like a specific word or it's just kind of
like she just kind of would be like he was huge right like that was kind of but but the the verb
that she used a lot was uh disintegrating like oh like she disintegrated like when she like orgasmed
like disintegrated and i'm like what the hell are you okay but it gets brought up a lot i'm like
that's the word you're you're using okay that's crazy i hate that um so i i like i have friends
who read these with me so i talk about this a lot and like in a laughing manner yeah so they
use words like considerable length yeah ah which i'm not kidding i do actually like like he thrust
his considerable length oh wow no no he's oh his considerable length
is straining against his leathers oh my god dude i gotta start talking like that i'm gonna go home
and be like man my considerable length is just not doing good in these pants right now yeah exactly
my considerable length hurts so considerable length it's not like he's huge it's like what's
the considerable length to the reader yeah it's subjective one that makes me laugh so hard that
i kind of like but in a way that i'm like why do i like this velvet wrapped steel
velvet wrapped now i don't know how i feel about it i'm literally split it's outstanding the words
are so good so velvet wrapped steel i i don't know how i feel but that's my favorite david lynch
um they also use the word cock yeah yeah it's a great word classic they're not using penis
they're never no you're never gonna see why they don't use penis and vagina he got his penis out
yeah his considerable length was straining
or his velvet i wrap my hands around his velvet wrapped steel oh my i grasp his velvet jesus i
like those wow velvet wrapped steel yeah that's a crazy i'm gonna be thinking about that one
yeah yeah i'm gonna be thinking about that one for women there's some that i that i'm like
like what see velvet wrapped steel does not sound good because that makes me think of like a velvet
couch and that material like it makes me think no
they're like fey and they have really incredible soft skin over something really hard yeah for sure
there we go i don't need to be embarrassed about this i'm not embarrassed about this this is great
i brought it up you're reading i love talking about it but velvet wrapped steel is like one
of those where i read it and i'm like what the hell yeah and then after you read it you're like
yeah where is that what are we gonna sheath this sword yeah what's happening
seriously me and my friends will get together and we are dying laughing yeah about talking about it
but when we're reading it we're of course like so into it dude we got it i would say we should do
that we should do a smosh mouth where we're like hey we're you're gonna give us all a book to read
and we're gonna come back and we're gonna talk about it and we're gonna do a book review i would
literally it needs to be one that's absurd like it needs to be oh yeah the craziest there's some
smut that i just won't touch like i think there's like and and hey if you're into it get it but
there's some that's like like milk milk miss mr oh yeah yeah that one morning glory milking farm
yeah and it's this one i read that one into like oh that's the one that i read last year and i
talked about it on like five different podcasts yeah that was the first smutty book i ever read
but he's a he's um he's a minotaur he's a minotaur well it's a it's a world where like
mythical creatures just live alongside humans right i like so he's like a businessman yeah he's
like wearing a
uh a suit and tie and stuff but he's a minotaur okay the cover is what made me go oh it's insane
it's ridiculous um so i read that and then recently i read icebreaker which is far more
grounded it's a college uh it's a hockey player and a figure skater and one of the ice rinks
gets sabotaged whatever so they have to share an ice rink and they they hate each other
for no clear reason they hate each other and then they bone a lot a lot
did they ever say bone in that i think they say boner she does
say boner. Dude, if I read boner
I'm just. It goes between her perspective
and his perspective, and
multiple times throughout that book he's like, I'm trying to hide
my boner. I hate that.
See, but imagine if he said, I'm trying to hide my
considerable length.
My velvet-wrapped seal.
Trevor, that's a modern. Actually, I realize I don't like modern
smut that much. Because they're
saying boner. I want them to be
in a tunic. I want
them to be. His velvet-wrapped boner.
I want their velvet-wrapped boners
to be under a
tunic. Yes, yes. I get it.
I want linen. Because it's fantasy.
My craziest not. It wasn't
like a smut book, but
when I was in seventh grade, I had to
do a book report, and
I had to do. And I was like,
hey, Dad, are there any good books you're
reading? Because I was. I got this porno
man. But he
recommends me this book, and it's like a historical
fiction, and it was
all really good, and
a very good book, but there was two things
in it where I read it, and it was. I was
in seventh grade, and there was this very smutty
section where it was just describing. And it was crazy, because it was like. Part of it was kind of revolutionary,
or industrial revolution period, and this guy was like
a coal miner, and then he
goes and
gets out of the coal mine and
has sex with his whoever
in a bathtub, and it
was the craziest thing, and I was reading it, and I was like,
I was like, does my dad remember what
was in this book? Because I feel like he wouldn't just give
me this book to read if he remembered,
like, these scenes in it. Probably not.
And then I was like, I'm. How old were you? Like, seventh grade.
Oh, okay. But. Okay.
Seventh grade, but conservative Christian school
seventh grade. Yeah. Your dad was reading
that. No, I know he read it, but. And I was like, well, I'm too far gone now
to, like, change books, and then
I did the book report on it, and I was like, I had
this, like, fear in the back of my head. I was like, surely, like,
the teacher isn't gonna, like, go look at the book
and then be like, he read a weird book.
I was, like, very scared of that, but
that was the first time I read anything.
I do actually relate to that.
Really, like, my dad
recommended True Blood
when I was younger. Whoa! And he was like,
True Blood is such an amazing show, like, you and your. Your dad contains multitudes.
You need to. My dad has been a fascinating,
amazing man. And me
and my younger sister, and we weren't that
young, but we were watching True
Blood, and my mom walks
in on this very specific scene
where it's two vampires
going at it, and he
snaps her head!
He's going from behind,
and he snaps her head to face
him so that he could look at her.
And my mom goes, what are you
guys watching? And she wasn't
judging, because my mom also watches
what she wants to watch, but she goes, and we're like,
this is dad's favorite show.
He loves this. And she goes. And it didn't kill the vampire, right?
No, no, no, he was doing her from behind
and he wanted to see her face, so of course he snapped her head
back. Yeah, because that's how you do that.
That's the natural. But, like. Who's got time to flip over, you know?
My dad is just like, he just loves
watching things like that, and so
he'll, still to this day, he's like, you gotta
watch this show, it's such a good show, and I'm like,
yes!
Okay. Damn.
But I'm just like, you know what?
Let's. Yeah, whatever. Whatever, let's
normalize it. Oh, yeah! But I will say
in these books, this is why I struggle
with modern smut, because I just
like, I don't want to read about a guy's
boner, because boner just makes me feel like I'm in
high school. Yeah.
So, I'm glad you're enjoying the book.
I mean, they're in college in this book.
Okay. But, um,
I just struggled because there was really kind of no plot.
To me. That was like, there needs to be a plot.
If the smut comes,
the first 300 pages,
I'm like, uh-oh. You needed to. A slow build. I need full
plot, full tension.
You have to read 300 pages
before you get to the smut? One series, I read
four books to get to the smut.
Whoa! Yeah.
See? I didn't know that. It's not just about the smut.
I mean, the smut is amazing, of course.
But, like, I love the tension.
Like, I can be turned
on just by, like, looks and glances.
Yeah. That's why modern smut
isn't my favorite, because I feel like they, like. They just get right to it.
It happens at, like, page 50 of
Icebreaker. Fuck that. And I was kind of like,
I was like, this is crazy. Like, what?
Like, alright. Come on.
Barely met the character. I hardly even know who these people
are. They're already having sex on the ice.
It's like, I need to know. Yeah.
For sure. I need to know what their
wants are, what they are before.
Yeah. You need a little world building.
Absolutely. Yeah, you need a lot. What college
are they at? Do they have other choices? It's a made-up college.
Do they not get accepted to their first
choice? We don't even know what their
moms name is. I'm a student at college university.
It's truly not
far off from that. It was actually fascinating
though, because even though it's modern day, it takes place
in a college in California,
it was a fantasy book, right? Because
it's a college hockey
team of like a bunch of 6'5
jock dudes, but they're
all so respectful
of women. And like, even
though they're like douchey, but
multiple times throughout the book,
it's like. They're perfect.
Like going through like textbook
of like, here's the most
respectful way to handle this situation.
Tall, respectful athlete. Like there's a part where
like she's drunk and he's just like, he's like, no
you're drunk. I'm not gonna do anything.
Like whatever. And then like
just throughout it, I'm like, oh,
this is the dream
world where like, even when guys
are being douchey, they're still being so respectful.
It was really interesting to read
in that way.
That's an amazing. We would love
that. I feel like that's how it should be.
But what I love about the characters is
like the author isn't afraid to make these characters
flawed. And then what
deal with that? Oh, totally.
I'm like, you can still have this. They still could have had a
plot. Because throughout the book, she's just like, I
fucking hate this guy. And it's like, why?
He's perfect.
He's only doing perfect things. She's just like,
oh, I'm so annoyed by him. I'm like,
why? Like, give us a good
reason. There's not enough world building because
there's nothing better than enemies to lovers
for me. Totally. But it's like, if the person
doesn't like them, I want,
I really need to know why.
It needs to be justified. Yeah. And that's been my, of the
only couple smutty books I've read.
I've been like, there just needs to be more plot.
Like, there needs to be more tension, more
struggle. Yeah. So that when it happens,
it's like, hell yeah. Yeah.
I think that's a reasonable request.
Reasonable request. Reasonable length.
That's our views on smut.
Not all of them, though.
Not all of them. Yeah, velvet wrapped steel.
Should we, you know, check
in with some comments? Oh, yeah.
We have a little segment we want to do today
where we read some comments.
We mainly pulled from one of the more
recent episodes a few weeks back.
It was you, Angela, and Chance.
Actually, no, sorry.
It was, I'm
I forgot.
It's okay. Smut does that to you.
A couple weeks ago, Angela
and Chance and Olivia
played you and I and Spencer.
Yes. And
Selena found a bunch of comments
from that episode that were very funny.
The comments on it were just incredible. They're so
funny. And I read a lot
of our Smosh Mouth comments. Yeah. And they're
gold. They are really fun. I pulled up some of my favorites
from recent episodes.
Price Pilled commented,
they basically made Amanda the battered
wife to two Brokeback Mountain
men who can't stop wanting each other.
This is the one I sent to Selena
because I was like, wow. And
yeah. Yeah. Yeah, because
Chance has this whole
I mean, Chance wasn't even there. It was
he literally became. He transforms. A version
of me. Yeah. A version of me.
No, he killed it. But he has
this whole thing where he's telling a story
and they're just throwing
around my baby.
And it is this, they're having like this whole
love affair. And he's just like,
in Boston? Like, yeah.
So good. I saw some comments being like,
oh, you know, they could have
dropped the act like halfway through and we
could have just gotten them. It's like, we
I think we actually said that to them. I think we're like, yeah,
feel free to like break character at a
certain point. They
forget who they are. Why would
they ever drop? I
can't drop an act if I'm in a wig.
Like, I don't want to. Chance
is someone else.
When we, I think when we like cut
for a minute or so, he's
just in character.
At DJDB Music
said, like the halfway mark,
Amanda recording what is already being recorded
never change. Yeah, I also
sent that one. You were filming it. And I was like,
what does he mean? Oh, right. Because you were
filming the episode while we
were recording the episode. I was filming the episode while it was already recording.
Nice. Hey, you know,
posterity. It was like,
look at them. You
and Angela have,
Angela especially, has such an instinct
for filming things. She does.
And I'm like amazed by it because I'm
so the opposite. I do not think
to pull out my phone and record stuff or take photos.
I know. She'll be in the middle of like,
if you're ever having like dinner or lunch with Angela,
she'll just be kind of in the middle of it.
She'll just be like, ha ha. Yes.
And then I put her phone away. And you're like,
just take a photo? It's
crazy. She does do that a lot. It's such
an instinct. At
GWO
Pit Out said, my favorite part
of Chance playing female characters is that
the mustache is always present.
I forget that.
She has a mustache in those moments.
Same. You truly forget.
Hannah One
Glay said, Amanda is the Sofia
Vergara of Smosh.
That's high praise. I would say
so. I did not. That is high praise.
That's incredible. Wow. Yeah.
Sofia Vergara in Modern Family
or just her? Just her in general.
What's her husband's name in Modern Family?
Oh, I forget.
Jay. Jay!
Jay!
She is so funny.
I'm honestly,
I'm really so honored.
Yeah, there you go.
I mean, speaking of True Blood, that was her ex-husband.
The guy who played the main wolf.
Oh.
Whatever his name was.
I don't know.
I never watched True Blood.
Don't tell your dad.
What?
True Blood is one of the funniest shows ever.
It's so funny.
It's the hilarious show.
It's so funny.
At the O siren O of O night.
Okay.
There's zeros.
What even is this?
I love that when Spencer said, what is Smosh even about in the chosen competition?
People quote that all the time now, and it's very true.
I don't know.
I couldn't tell you.
People ask me, like, my family literally is like, what is smoosh?
I'm like, it's okay.
We're going to figure this out.
I don't know.
I have not had, like, a real answer.
Honestly, since we started doing Smosh Mouth and Reddit stories, it's nice to be like,
yeah, we kind of do a couple podcasts.
We can talk about it.
I just kind of say that.
I'm like, sum it up so people can understand.
But I'm like, trying to explain Bored AF without just being like, I mean, I guess the truth
is, I play board games.
We play Uno University.
Yeah, and hang out with my friends.
It's so funny because it's like, yeah, I'll say, I like play board games and hang out
with my friends.
And I'm like, but it's not really about the board games.
It's like, I don't know if anybody cares about the board games, really.
Truly.
We play Moose Master for kids, and we get heated?
Yeah.
On Courtney's new Obsession episode, there was a comment where someone said, gay Joker
be like, what?
Why so querious?
And someone replied to that saying, they call me the Woker.
Why so querious?
And then someone in quotation said, the Woker.
Dude, I did a Woker bit.
We've been doing Woker bits.
I did a Woker bit on Try Not to Laugh at one point.
I don't know how it went over.
I don't know if that video is out yet.
Oh, maybe it's not out.
Yeah, it might not be out.
Maybe that got cut because it was too woke.
It could have been.
Yeah, it was so woke.
I think it was pretty funny, but I, you know, I'll save it.
I guess if and if you try not to laugh, I. Save it.
Like, I'll. I don't know.
I could tell you the joke here, but it doesn't feel right because I'm not, like, wearing. You're not wearing. I'm not wearing it.
You gotta be wearing the Woker outfit.
I'm. What. What does this comment have to do with that episode?
It's just people having fun.
So, in this episode, also, Courtney, I love everything she's posting from fan art.
Courtney does express that she wishes that she was tiny and food was big.
Yeah.
And that she could, like, sit in a pickle jar or, like, lay on garlic bread.
She wanted to. To, like, a jelly donut to, like, be inside the jelly donut with just her head sticking
out of, like, the hole of the jelly donut.
I remember that from a video we did.
She said, like, swimming in, like, salsa.
And I was like, that would hurt really bad.
I wouldn't like that, but I enjoyed. Dude, my velvet-wrapped steel would not be okay.
Yeah, we would have to figure out how to get your considerable length to be clean.
I don't know what I'm saying.
Wow, all right.
Wow, okay.
So, I don't know. Holy shit.
How does that comment. I don't know.
Sometimes people just. Just having a good time in there.
Yeah, I love it.
And I encourage that.
You don't have to comment about the video.
You can comment whatever you want.
That's true.
That's true.
I do love reading the comments that are just, like, people saying hi.
They're just like, what's up?
I'm here, hanging out.
And then in the We Need to Talk About These subreddits episode. Oh, yes.
At kill. K-L-L-Y-E-C.
Someone said, Shane watching Heated Rivalry for the hockey is like watching Challengers
for the tennis, which I also did.
And the tennis was good.
That explains a lot to me.
How was Challengers?
The tennis was really. They're really good at tennis.
That's like watching Marty Supreme for the ping pong.
Yeah.
What?
I haven't seen it.
Is there. Okay.
I'll watch it.
I haven't seen it either.
I haven't seen it.
Who knows?
Maybe by the time this has come out, I'm waiting for it to come to, like, video on demand.
Yeah, me too.
In the episode where we did talk about Heated Rivalry. Yes.
Everyone wants us to talk about this.
At Rinston said, Trevor is going to be devastated when he finds out they talked about pirates
without him.
We did talk about pirates for a little bit.
We did.
We mentioned you.
Well, because the crew wanted us to talk about things and someone wanted us to talk about
the golden age of pirates.
We talked about black sales.
And how black sales was all of those pirates were gay.
Yeah.
Yeah.
How pirates were. I think. Here's the thing.
And I could go on and on about pirates, so I won't.
But it's like pirates were really bad people.
And I feel like I have to preface that every time I talk about how much I love pirates.
They did really awful things.
However, there were a lot of ways in which they were incredibly progressive as well.
And a lot of pirates were gay.
Like, they were just. And they were very open about that.
And there was no judgment.
You're out at sea.
Yeah.
What are you going to do?
Exactly.
Yeah.
Everyone needs some love.
Get your velvet-wrapped steel out.
Oh, my God.
Dude, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
I'm trying to see Charles Vane's velvet-wrapped steel.
You sure?
Days at sea?
Shiver my considerable timbers.
You know what I mean?
Shiver my considerable. Okay, that was very good.
Honestly, should we come up with smut?
We should try to see who could. We should have a competition for who could come up with the best terms.
Because it has to be, like, connected to the theme of the book.
Because velvet-wrapped steel, I think, is pretty much directed about, like, fae.
Yeah.
Because they say fae skin is, like, really soft.
We could come back.
We can circle back on this.
No, because this might be for a whole other episode.
But this might be, like, because if we give ourselves time to, like, write these out. Yeah.
Yeah.
Smut terms competition would go so hard.
Oh, that would be. It would go so hard.
It would literally go so hard.
It would go so hard.
Sorry.
Wow.
In the Trying to Speak Other Languages episode at DiGosuelo, they say,
I'm from Venezuela, and I discovered Smosh many years ago.
Back then, I didn't understand much English.
I even remember there was a channel with dubbed versions.
I liked it more in English, even though I didn't understand nothing.
So this feels like a full circle moment.
Many years have passed, and now I live in the USA, and a big part of my learning came from watching
those videos in English.
That's so sweet.
I've seen a couple people say they use Smosh to learn. That's awesome.
And that's why their first word is bitch.
Yeah.
Shut up.
I have a few. Let's see.
That I took screenshots of.
Oh.
I'm going to make a burner account and start leaving comments and try and get in the video
that way.
So. No.
First of all, I ended up on Rare Insults.
There's a subreddit called Rare Insults.
Wow.
Where people comment just insults that are, like, new.
Like, ones that you never thought of.
Oh, fun.
Okay.
Someone posted a. One of my old TikToks, like, from three or four years ago.
It's me, clean shaven, whatever.
And just me in a white t-shirt.
Close up.
And someone commented saying, he looks kind of like a llama in the best way possible.
Can I see the picture?
Yeah, it's just. It's there, like. I don't. I don't know.
Oh, you do.
Oh, look at your sweet little face.
Okay.
It's because you have, like, a long face.
I do have a long face there.
Why the long face?
I could see a. I could see a llama with that haircut, too.
You do kind of look like a llama.
Okay.
You look so sweet, like a llama who spits, you know?
Yeah, it's not like a. No, like. It's sort of an insult.
It's more of just a statement.
It's more of a compliment to llamas everywhere.
Yeah, that they look like me.
I kind of agree with you.
Llamas are cute.
Yeah.
Then, let's see.
I have a comment here.
I don't know which episodes these are from.
We can probably suss it out.
At Liz2182,
I didn't realize how much structure Shane brought to Smosh Mouth.
Oh, that's the episode with you, Angela, and Chance
when I was gone.
That was the top comment.
It had 12,000 likes.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Can you imagine me trying to bring structure to that episode?
I didn't bring the candies.
I didn't bring any of that shit.
It was impossible, and, you know,
I had a good time.
The other top comment on that was,
giving you guys candy was a choice.
It was a huge mistake.
Hey, here, we have an audio medium.
Let's give you guys suckers.
Jesus Christ.
They just brought that pot of candy.
You guys brought the pot of candy?
Angela brought the pot of candy,
and when Angela brings something,
you can't say no because it's done.
You're halfway through the episode,
and you go, I should have said no to this,
but it's done.
It's done, and I truly do feel bad about that episode
because I was like, oh, my God, we're a nightmare.
Like, for listeners, what a nightmare.
How dare you?
I did feel like I was an acid that whole episode, though.
It's a very funny episode, though.
The chart.
It's really great.
Out about the chart.
Out about the chart.
You guys are talking about, like, intense shit, too.
Oh, yeah, and we were talking it in a way like. It's like, we're all laughing, but I'm like, wait,
Chance is talking about being outed by the church,
which is horribly traumatic.
Yeah.
But we're all laughing.
Jesus.
Now you see how we deal with really traumatic stuff.
Yes.
It is a tough thing to be. Not a tough thing, but, like, we are the types,
all of us at Smosh are the types that
handle the worst news in our own personal lives with jokes,
but then we got to try to pull that back
when it comes to other things
because then it comes across horrible.
It's like, no, no, that's my way of acknowledging
that this is the worst possible thing.
I mean, that is truly. We, like, we, like, really let loose on that episode
and we were just kind of exploring some dark, dark stuff
and it was kind of, like, giving each other space
to be like, oh, this is how we're handling it
while munching on candy, which was a huge mistake.
Yeah.
And I will, I will take, um. I will say sorry for that.
Yeah.
But structure, how?
In that episode, how?
Yeah, it's how.
I think it's sometimes good
That we don't
You were gone
And it was just like
Yeah man
We let loose
hell yeah um okay this comes from our predictions episode from from earlier this year and it's
someone clocked it someone clocked me on this one they said i feel like shane's predictions
are either smosh will post at least one video this year or humankind will discover time travel

and the amount of dms and and messages across the board that i get about new fish being discovered
they're like you're an idiot i knew that like they're discovering new fish like really all the
time but like not at this rate it's kind of alarming how many fish they're discovering i

be like holy shit we've never seen this guy look at this fucker something crazy like they went like
