Smosh discusses its studio relocation to Oxnard, California, while celebrating a fan-organized "Chosen" gathering that brought together fans in character, showcasing deep community engagement. The team highlights how fans have created global events, such as a birthday celebration in the Philippines, and how these interactions foster emotional connections to Smosh characters. A segment on video games like Pokopia emphasizes community-building through creative design and shared environments. The discussion shifts to reading preferences, with members favoring smut books that build tension and character depth over direct, rushed content. Fans’ comments, including a humorous "woker" joke and imaginative fan art, reflect the playful, inclusive nature of the Smosh community. The episode concludes with a suggestion to launch a collaborative book review series, promoting humor, storytelling, and shared experiences, underscoring the value of audience participation and creative expression.

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 one I yeah 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 goodness it's so beautiful look at all the
toucans oh my god yeah I have cans everywhere I actually didn't know my tiny picture we had to
bring him yeah of course Rombey is everywhere with me um for those who don't know um Smosh is moving
its studios uh from Rancho Cucamonga to Oxnard so Oxnard is a really cool place I've actually never
been to Oxnard oh that's crazy I've been there so many times my parents that's where my parents are
um really yeah Ventura and Oxnard they went to they went to high school there uh it's crazy I've heard
it's gorgeous which it doesn't the name doesn't sound gorgeous 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 better it sounds more like a like
Long Beach obviously yeah Ventura Oxnard sounds like it's in the middle of nowhere it sounds like
there's a lot of universities around yeah are we we're not vibing on Oxnard like I have Oxnard is
different in my head than you guys I think so okay I don't you're thinking of it as academic
well yes and I just see like a bunch of car dealerships 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 yeah I'm
too close I can't have an opinion on Oxnard to connect yeah you shouldn't have an opinion on
that but anyways moving our studios um so in the meantime we're we're here here at just a temporary
so cute yeah this chair it's very nice this chair is actually I gotta say I'm so comfy
I am excited to get a new chair for Reddit stories whoa okay I need you in chairs
I've 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 assistant you want to go backwards but
that's not the point of it it's far more leaned back than it looks um yeah and uh it doesn't have
arm rest no um it's it's not really 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 sit there for out
in that chair that's how long he does yeah yeah we stopped down for a little bit I'm like let me
just take a nap right here um sometimes overnight yeah um you know but uh I don't want you to do that
in the new space you can't do that yeah we're getting a new chair I don't know exactly what
the new chair is gonna 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 does my do my legs look weird it's great yeah socks no and you're wearing your
shoes match the the top okay it's great thank you I do when we're filming like a couple episodes of
Smosh Mouth I it is nice that I don't have to worry about what pants I'm wearing if it like
works oh yeah as a whole outfit sometimes I'll just go Winnie the Pooh yeah yeah no at the table
I have noticed that it's tough for me it is really tough it's it's hard to ignore well he comes in and
says yeah I was wearing pants but I take them off to sit on that little tiny school chair
the new set's gonna show our lower halves what you know what I'm fine with that because I always
wear nice lower halves I always put on my nicest lower halves yeah my lower halves everybody loves
my lower that's crazy I gotta get new pants I need to go Shane and I never change our pants
for Smosh Mouth we'll just change our I try not to I try to wear one pair of pants for a whole shoot
it does make outfits tough um 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 wrong with that 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 and like a I don't know it just makes me feel
like I I went to gym class and I forgot you gotta 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
oh can't believe how did we all do this this is wild I just spoiled it now everybody knows
um so we haven't actually recorded a new episode of this show in a minute because we kind of batched
a bunch of episodes before we left our old studio almost a month it's been like a month and a lot
of Angela Angela and Chance and Olivia played us yeah yeah that was so fun that was a great
episode very fun episode but yeah so much happened maybe in our lives just in general and as well um
uh punch oh I hate that video don't talk to me about pun every video I do not like those videos
so Courtney uh had a prediction for this year and it was that monkeys are going to do something new
and reject their own yeah yeah be a huge loser yeah um because punch like whoa whoa are you saying
punch is a loser just everybody hates him like he's kind of okay crazy just kidding I'm not
punching down right now whoa everybody hates him that means you hate him Shane no I'm saying the
monkeys hate him in the monkey world so do you agree with them no but I am a homo sapien I am far
more intelligent he's a homo all right yeah um 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 like the
next video is like that monkey doesn't like him anymore what the 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
gun now and I was like yes and then another video comes and it's the monkeys being mean again what's
going on all I can think about is like you know those other monkeys like punch is awesome
he's clearly awesome and ahead of his time that's that's how I look at that situation yeah he's a
renaissance man yeah exactly it's really hard for me to I really that that story needs to turn out
well like like I he needs to inevitably I just I'm like if he never gets accepted fully into that why
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 opinion okay okay our assumptions yeah I think it's like 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 gonna bully this kid because I want people to
see that 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 it's like they they hated they hated Caesar when and
you know Planet of the Apes is crazy because rude because it's like 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 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 it's 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 gonna
fix it maybe he has a maybe he has a different scent on him and they feel like he's not I wonder
my cats are that way but that 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 hates him like truly hates him and then
suddenly one day is normal um I don't I just don't know how monkeys work yeah um 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 small shoot Raven hates me for like a few hours I don't think it's how you
Hey.
what the fuck
is it my scent
oh it's your scent
it's Shane and Amanda's scent
it's cause I smell different
she doesn't recognize me
um
maybe give Punch
a little tiny
uh like Porsche
gun
give him a gun
could you imagine
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
all right
you're cool
I like it
okay so that prediction
we could kind of mark that off
yeah
but another prediction
that I think came true
effectively
I said there'd be a gathering
of a hundred 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
uh
within like
January
of this year
after making that prediction
uh
some fans here in LA
started organizing
a gathering of Chosens
that would happen at a park
and um
it was like
oh this is picking up steam
like they're
they're really organizing this
there was posters
around 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 I
of course
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
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 taller
what?
have we met him before?
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's deal
does he like
does he like howl and stuff
and I was like
not really
but he just is like
he just likes wolves on his shirt
but you know whatever
and I
he could howl
he was like
so am I part of the wolf pack now
I was like
yeah man
sure
um
he's like guarded presidents before
yeah
like you know
normally I guard people
who need protection
I love how he's really
trying to get the backstory
he's like okay
what's his motivation
so there's
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 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 middle
of doing a Chosen competition
what does that look like
just like
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 perfect
and I start walking
hopefully 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 was just
going to show up
and say hey
and like hang out
but 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
were you saying it as Shane
or in the Chosen
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 scythe
which is one of those sick
like Ninja Turtles
uh knives
and he was like
Chosen do you need a weapon
and I was like
no I'm okay
thank you
like I was like
this is incredible
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
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
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've ever been said
I was like dude
these people rock
so much
that was like incredible
I was like
yeah chosen
you're busy
that's
that's really good
it was so awesome
that's so cool
it was the best
we gotta try to like
I don't know
challenge our fans
to more things
cause they
they do it
I will say
uh
I guess
I can like
speak about this
but our fans are incredible
people were sending me this
so
apparently
in the Philippines
yes
there was a billboard
of me
mhm
because it was my birthday
yeah
in the Philippines
incredible
yeah
and they
these fans are amazing
they've reached out to me
they're so sweet
they're so amazing
they had a
a full gathering
to celebrate my birthday
after my birthday
of all different characters I play
they had a bigger celebration
for your birthday
than you did
I know
incredible
this year I went like
really like minimal
for my birthday
and they
and they sent me
um
pictures and videos
and I reposted
and it was just so
so
it's unbelievable to me
like
people on Slack
were being like
do you see me
do you see
this happening
and I was like
it makes me want to
go to the Philippines
and be like
hey guys
and show up as like
Tinky
well maybe not Tinky Winky
that's a hard costume
to like walk around in
but like Sarah Christ
like it was just
I'm so honored
because you come up
with these characters
and you're like
you get joy from them
and then when people get joy
and then wanna
dress up as them
it was just
and um
Selena
was just 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
but like
she did get invited
to one of these events
and she couldn't go
but like
I just think that's
she got invited
to your birthday party
incredible
yeah
in the Philippines
in the Philippines
did you get invited
to your birthday party
in the Philippines
no I
oh
here's the thing
oh no
they might have
but they didn't
that's kind of an epic
horrible prank
is to have a birthday party
for someone
and not invite them
be like
it's your birthday
and we're like
oh Trevor
it's your birthday party
this weekend
you're not invited
but we are having
your birthday party
I've never been
to the Philippines
but I would love to go
yeah
yeah
our Pinoy brothers
and sisters
do not mess around
yeah
they're incredible
we did our episode
where we were speaking
trying to read
other languages
and people were talking
about you
with Tagalog
yeah
wait
I don't know this
so my basketball team
when I was in high school
we went over
to the Philippines
in the summer
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
called Basketball Basketball
and it's funny
because it was so clear
that it was 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
double meaning
yeah
and then they're like
the song is like
basketball
basketball
ang sarap sarap
mag basketball
and ang sarap sarap
ang sarap I believe
means like tasty
or something
tasty basketball
and it's like
it's like about sex
and so the whole time
they're like
you gotta learn this song
dude
I was like guys
are you gonna tell us
what it means
like it's clearly
you're like basketball
but it is truly stuck
in my head
since 2016
or whenever I went
it was
it's been just like
in my head
but it was so much fun
I love the Philippines
y'all didn't think
a white boy
could speak a little Tagalog
hi from the Philippines
oy
basketball
basketball
ang sarap sarap
mag basketball
anyone from the Philippines
for that one
for that dirty song
that dirty song
that I was pranked
into singing
by my Filipino friends
and they said
no it's just about
basketball buddy
and I went
okay let me sing it
sing it with my whole chest
how do I know that song
cause I'm him
yeah you all didn't think
a white boy
had that in him

I think it's
it was like
some of the most fun
I've ever had
like on a trip
there
I would love
there
love to go
I went to
there was a Filipino festival
here in LA
cause we have
a couple Filipino friends
and I went
and it was
unbelievable
I think it was
where was it
Filipino town
I guess
yeah obviously
it was so
so amazing
such a huge community
in LA
massive
yeah
anyways
I guess we all have to go
to the Philippines
I feel like
I'd love that
sing basketball
would love that
it'd be fun to go
and do a show
in the Philippines
I would literally
love it
yeah
I've literally
wanted to go back
ever since then
we don't have any plans
we don't have any plans
but I'm saying

I'm saying it'd be cool
to do that
yes
and I am a working mom

sorry i just i'm just thinking about food now me too i'm always thinking about food
anyways that's so wild that's really sad about playing pokopia dude i don't know what you just
said okay it's a game 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 pod 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
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 it your own and it's like this sounds fun build you can build homes you can
build things decorate water the grass yeah find poke 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 you 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
tree that's really cute yeah it's awesome sounds like you guys are like the town mayor or town
construction pretty much yeah pretty much you're a ditto yeah ditto yeah you know 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 um a new resident evil came out oh i know trust me and it sucks that
we're in the middle of a movie and we're in the middle of a movie and we're in the middle of a movie
because i know spencer is dying it's gonna happen to play it with you angela ordered t-shirts for us
i'm actually not kidding what yep what do you mean t-shirts so we're we're on a really cool
group text it's a resident evil group text me's um spencer and angela sorry um angela ordered us
all resident evil t-shirts what do they have on what does it just say resident evil does it say
no i can't remember uh i could like literally pull up the picture do you own it yet or
i don't own it yet she's she ordered it and she's ordered okay she told us to venmo her i'm not sure
that's the funniest thing ordering something for someone without telling them i mean like and can
you venmo me for that and 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 look at this
well it's all the versions of him nice because you know we did the video on games yeah spencer
had a powerpoint and explained all of the lore of resident evil which i was like this is epic
i wish i knew 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 because girl dinner is fun but it's like
i kind of reject the term in a way the funniest spencer wearing girl dinner is the greatest he's
gonna have that thing tucked in denim jacket over it with the boots on with his with his uh
mug with his mug full of kickstart can i can i clear the air real quick about the mug situation
so remember when we did uh 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 it's you're you're saying he's leaning because it's more of a choice
he's leaning 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 i see what you're saying i overdid it no i think you nailed it but i
i did nail it like in here oh
what hold on what keep going keep can you keep oh damn it you
find it i want to do this one justice so much can you can you do a little bit more than a couple
steps huh hey i think i have it 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 you gave people you gave people a lot to think about
that video that video was a thinker i'm that's what i was saying i if i'm gonna do an impression
of you i'm going to do it honestly from my point of view just yeah 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 so i don't know i'd love to see
that people pointed out that um 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 i didn't uh that's so good yeah i didn't realize that yeah some of them i think it's the
case like i think you did an impression of noah and noah 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 uh no trevor wasn't in that i
wouldn't know pick a trevor i feel like you've got a pretty like his is bouncy bouncy a little
your friend's walks that's crazy i never thought about how i walk i walk way too fast that is one
thing is i have to consciously slow my walk down really fast it's because when i was young and i
wasn't tall my dad never slowed down 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 i haven't
adjusted so i like that my family my family's fast walkers too yeah my dad same moves i don't
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 yes 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 duncan donuts his second duncan donuts coffee and he's like yeah
you know i 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 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
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 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 withering 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 we got 105 which 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
mean 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 handle that if i don't know why people hated
that movie i 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 weathering
heights i'm like do you really want weathering 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 it's not the book 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 what 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
i'm gonna be disappointed every time agreed 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 even 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 withering heights
you can literally see tom hardy meet his wife in real life in withering heights like that's how
they met like ray fines and withering heads like there's so many iterations yeah they're not it's
it's the artist and tom hardy have both been into withering heights yeah i didn't know that yes i
didn't i didn't write a passage i guess i don't have withering heights ball knowledge like that
i guess them all i've seen them all whoa literally i i love the stories so it's like a romeo and
juliet it's very tragic i think i tried to read withering 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 on 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 feel books are tough you
know that thing where you get an amazing pair of shoes at a really great price and want to tell
everyone about it yeah so do we here at designer shoe warehouse we'll give you something to brag

because you can miss a little bit and it's it's okay just for me for me it really depends on the
reader i oh yeah i need the i need like i i enjoy 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
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 it has to have um
that makes sense to the book for me i get that i don't mind i do you ever do like an audio book
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 i'm 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 audio book 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 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 yeah i 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 like with an audiobook but there's times
where 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 did i say fantasy to be clear you started that that sentence
my head was like yeah he thrusts his sword
sentence
no god when there's smut i was saying this to shane earlier in the morning i don't know why
but when there's 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 phrase is for a penis oh my god i love this is it like like i hate it
i love member i think member is so funny gets 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 like she disintegrated like when she like orgasm 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
which i'm not kidding i do actually like like he thrust his considerable length
oh wow no no he's 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 movie
um they also use the word cock yeah yeah it's a great word cock is a classic they're not using
penis they're never you know you're never gonna see why they don't use penis and vagina you've
got his penis out yeah his considerable length was straining or his belt 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
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 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.
You don't need to be 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?
And then after you read it,
you're like, yeah, where is that Velvet Wrapped Steel?
When are we going to sheath this sword?
Like, what's happening?
Seriously, me and my friends will get together
and we are dying laughing
about talking about it,
but when we're reading it,
we're of course like so into it.
But that's what I would say.
We should do that.
We should do a Smosh Mouth
where we're like, hey,
you're going to give us all a book to read
and we're going to come back
and we're going to talk about it
and we're going to do a book review.
It needs to be one that's absurd.
Like it needs to be the craziest thing.
There's some smut that I just won't touch.
Like I think there's like,
and hey, if you're into it, get it.
But there's some that's like,
like milk, milk,
Mr.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
That one.
Mr. Milky?
Morning Glory Milking Farm.
Yeah, and it's this one.
I read that one.
I was really 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 that.
So he's like a businessman.
Yeah.
He's like wearing a suit and tie and stuff,
but he's a minotaur.
Okay.
The cover,
the cover is what,
made me go,
I don't want to read this.
It's ridiculous.
So I read that.
And then recently I read Icebreaker,
which is far more grounded.
It's a college,
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.
Oh.
It's literally cutting edge.
For no clear reason,
they hate each other.
And then they bone a lot.
A lot.
Wait,
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 mod.
I don't actually,
I realize I don't like modern smut that much.
You like some old school.
Because they're saying like boner.
I want them to be in a tunic.
Yes.
I want them to be.
His velvet wrapped boner.
I want their velvet wrapped boners
to be over a,
under a tunic.
Yes.
Yes.
I get it.
I want like.
Because it's fantasy.
My craziest not,
it wasn't like,
it wasn't like a smut book,
but when I was in like seventh grade,
I had to do like a book report
and I had to do like,
and I was like,
hey dad,
are any good books you're reading?
Because I was.
I got this porno.
Milk and.
But he recommends me this book
and it's like a historical fiction
and it was,
and it was all really good.
And a very good book,
but there was like two things in it
where I read it
and it was,
you know,
I was in seventh grade
and there was this like very smutty section
where it was just like describing like,
and it was crazy
because it was like,
part of it was like kind of revolutionary
or like industrial revolution period
and this guy was like a coal miner
and then he like goes
and like gets out of the coal mine
and has sex with like his,
whoever in like 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,
how old were you?
Like seventh grade.
Oh, okay.
But 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 going to 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 were like,
this is dad's favorite show.
He loves this.
And it didn't kill the vampire, right?
It's just like,
he was doing her from behind
and he wanted to see her face.
So of course he snapped her head back.
Yeah.
Cause that's how you do that.
That's the natural.
But like,
who's got time to flip over?
You know?
Who's got time?
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 a show.
It's such a good show.
And I'm like,
yes.
Okay.
Damn.
But I'm just like,
you know what?
Let's,
it's,
it'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.
Cause I just like,
I don't want to read about
a guy's boner.
Cause boner just makes me feel like
I'm in high school.
Yeah.
So yeah.
I'm glad you're enjoying the book.
I mean,
they are,
they're in college in this book.
Okay.
But I just struggled
cause there was really
kind of no plot.
To me.
And I was like,
that there needs to be a plot.
If the smut comes,
the first 300 pages,
I'm like,
uh oh.
You need,
you need 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
cause I feel like they like,
they just get right to it.
get.
It happens at like,
page 50 of Icebreaker.
Fuck that.
And I was kind of like,
I was like,
this is crazy.
Like,
what,
what?
Like,
all right.
Come on.
Barely met the character.
I hardly even know
who these people are.
They're already having sex
It's like,
I need to know.
Yeah.
I need to know
what their wants are,
what they are before.
Yeah.
You need a little world building.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
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?
I'm a student
at college university.
It's truly not far off from that.
It was actually fascinating though,
cause even though it's modern day,
it takes place in a college
in California.
It,
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.
I mean,
yeah,
we,
that's,
that's an amazing,
we would love that.
Right.
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,
how they deal with that.
Oh, totally.
I'm like,
you can still have this.
They still could have had a plot.
Cause throughout the book,
she's just like,
I fucking hate this guy.
And it's like,
why?
He's perfect.
Like,
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.
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 to,
there needs to be more tension,
more struggle.
Yeah.
So that when it happens,
it's like,
hell yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think that's a reasonable request.
Reasonable request.
Well,
anyways,
considerable 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,
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,
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,
the 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
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,
it's how,
in Boston, like it's so good.
some comments being like oh i 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 they forget who they are
they committed would they ever drop i i can't drop an act if i'm in a wig like i don't want to
chance is someone else um when we i think when we like cut for a minute or so he was like he's
just in character at dj db music said uh like the halfway mark amanda recording what is already
being recorded never change yeah i also sent that 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 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 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 yes and i put her phone away
and you're like you just just take a photo it's crazy she does do that a lot it's such an instinct
um at gwo pit out said my favorite part of chance playing female characters is that the mustache is
always present
i forget that he has a mustache in those moments like you truly forget uh hannah one
glay said amanda is the sofia vergara of smosh that's a 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 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 i never
watched true blood don't tell your dad what true blood is one of the funniest shows ever
it's the hilarious show um at the o siren o of o night okay there's zeros um what even is this
um
i love that when uh 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 it's 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 gonna 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 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 board af without
just being like i mean i guess the truth is i play board games we play 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 nobody i
don't know if anybody cares about the board games really truly boost master for for kids and we get
heated yeah um on courtney's new obsession episode uh there was a comment
where someone said gay joker be like 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 i we've been doing woker i did i did a woker bit on 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 maybe that got cut because it was too woke it could have been so whoa 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'll save it i'll save it
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 you gotta you gotta be wearing the woker
yeah outfit okay 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 garter
like bread uh she wanted 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 i remember that from like a video she said like
swimming in like salsa and i was like that would hurt really bad yeah that but i dude my velvet
wrapped steel would not be okay yeah we would have to figure out how to get your considerable

did talk about heated rivalry uh everyone wants to talk about this uh 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 because the crew wanted us to
talk about things and someone wanted us to talk about the golden age of pirates and we were black
sales we talked about black sales black sales was all of those pirates were gay yeah yeah 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 gonna do
exactly yeah no one needs get your velvet wrapped steel out oh my god 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 should we come up with smut we should try to see who could we should have a competition
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 fey yeah they say fey skin
we could come back we can circle
back on this this might be for a whole other episode this might be like because if we give
ourselves time to like write these out yeah yeah smut 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 um
in the in the trying to speak other languages episode at die go swallow uh they say i'm from
venezuela and i discovered smosh many years ago back then i didn't understand much english i 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 i've seen a couple people say they use smosh to learn uh that's awesome and that's why
their first word is bitch um i have a few um uh let's see that i took screenshots of oh i'm gonna
make a burner account and start leaving comments and try and get in the
video that way so now first of all i ended up on rare insults there's a subreddit called rare insults
Where people comment just insults that are like new, like ones that you never thought of.
Oh, fun.
Someone posted a one of my old TikToks like from three or four years ago.
It's me, clean shaven, whatever.
And just being 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.
Look at your sweet little face.
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.
OK.
You look so sweet, like a llama.
Yeah, it's not like a 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 Liz to one eight two.
I didn't realize how much structure Shane brought to Smosh Mouth.
Oh, that's the episode with you, Angela Chance.
When I was gone, that was the top comment.
It had twelve thousand likes.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Hey, imagine me trying to bring structure to that episode.
I didn't bring the candies.
I didn't bring any of that.
I didn't bring any of that shit.
It was impossible.
And you know what?
I had a good time.
The other top comment on that was giving you guys candy was a choice.
Yeah, it was a huge mistake.
Hey, here we have a we have a audio medium.
Let's give you guys suckers.
Jesus Christ.
They just brought back a 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.
And I truly do.
I 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 asset.
That whole it's a very funny episode, though.
It's really great out by the chart.
You guys are talking about, like, intense shit.
Oh, yeah.
And we were talking like, it's like, it's we're all laughing, but I'm like, wait, chances talk about being outed by the church.
I'm like, wait, Chance is talking about being outed by the church, which is horribly traumatic, but we're all laughing.
Now you see how we deal with really traumatic stuff.
Yes.
It's a 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.
Yes.
Then it comes across horrible.
It's like, no, no, that's that's my way of acknowledging that this is the worst.
Possible thing.
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 watching on candy, which was a huge mistake.
Yeah.
And I will I will take I will say sorry for that.
But good 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.
OK, this comes from our predictions episode 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.
Dude, OK, I made the mistake of saying we're going to discover a new fish.
The amount of DMs 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 see.
I mean, we got it.
We got to slow down.
Now, what I was saying, too, is I'm like, I want like a brand new like real brand new fish.
Not a new classification.
Yeah, not like a not a boring fish.
It's got to be like, holy shit.
We've never seen this guy.
Look at this.
Look at this.
Fucker.
Something crazy.
Like they went like we've gone.
You know, they say however much of the ocean hasn't been explored.
They went to that part and they found something completely new.
And I'm getting that people are like, no, they're discovering new fish and they're showing me photos.
And I'm like, yeah, that's a new.
I've never seen that fish.
But I need it to be.
I need this fish to upstage punch.
Yeah, I need I need punch to become old news.
They're like, no, this fish.
Yeah, he's the news now.
Hey, buddy, call me when your fish is cooler.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Wow.
Stop bringing me these bum ass fish.
OK, I don't care.
Hard.
Another comment from another one of the videos.
Oh, this is from the episode where you came back.
It was me, Damien and you.
This this comment made me laugh so hard.
I remember seeing it back in the day at Ruzoku said, I can't believe they're going to execute Damien backstage right after this.
Oh, my God.
Because it was true.
It was like, you're in my seat.
All right.
And now we have to kill you.
And I was like, get out of my seat.
Get out of here.
I played it so hard.
Last comment I have.
OK.
And this because I remember a few episodes ago, we were talking about rats.
Remember, somehow rats got brought up.
I did tell a story about Sam.
We didn't know that you despise rats.
I do not like them.
Wow.
Maybe it's from being from the East Coast and, you know, going to Boston where, like, you go in an alleyway and you're like, oh, here are a thousand rats dancing, like, here are a thousand rats and they purposely want to get a dancing rats, dancing rats.
Sounds amazing.
I feel like I don't know if I would be cool with a thousand rats, but if all of them were dancing, I'd be like, that's good.
They're dancing on your foot.
But I was trying to convince you that pet rats, pet rats are like a thing and people have pet rats and they're actually very sweet.
They're super cute.
I also before I get to this comment.
I was going to say I'm reading a book.
I'm reading a nonfiction book called The Rise and Reign of the Mammals.
And it's all just about how mammals are a thing.
It's by the same guy.
He wrote The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs, which is an awesome book.
Wow, that does sound fun.
And now he's writing this book.
And I didn't realize that rodents and apes are like kind of on the same.
Like, we're closer to we're more similar than other branch like carnivores.
Oh, interesting.
Well, you think about I was thinking about it and I was like.
Oh, right.
Rodents like rats and stuff can grab things with their hands.
Yeah, I was like, whoa, we are not as far off as I thought we were compared to like things with hooves and things like with paws, bovine.
We're actually we are much like rats.
They are our brethren.
Yeah, no, I actually I feel throw up.
Well, there's a lot of times in my life where I'll be doing something and I'm like, I could see a rat doing this.
Yeah, I'm like eating an In-N-Out burger over the trash can at the end of the In-N-Out burger is dripping that spread.
And I'm like over the trash.
I'm like, shush, shush, shush, shush, shush.
It's rat behavior.
Friggin splinter over here.
Master splinter.
Master splinter over here.
Ashley Mono Moro said, I've had four pet rats in my lifetime and they are genuinely the sweetest little dudes like tiny dogs.
My very first rat, Fluffernutter, liked to go on walks, had a little harness and leash.
I would walk him outside the apartments I was living in at the time.
He also loved hanging out on your shoulder while you did literally anything or taking a nap and in sweatshirt hoods and pockets.
I'm sorry, that's adorable.
I'm sorry, what?
That is so sweet.
Do you have a little rat on your shoulder?
Maybe I've watched too much medieval shit, but don't they like burrow inside your stomach and then eat your organs?
You're referencing Game of Thrones.
Yeah.
You're referencing like torture methods.
Feral rats.
That's like feral cats and dogs are a different thing than.
Do you fuck with Stuart Little?
Well, he's a mouse.
Yeah, but it's like.
You didn't have a problem with mice, right?
Ratatouille was hard for me to watch.
Whoa.
Whoa.
That's awesome.
Nobody's ever seen.
I've never said that sentence before.
I threw up five times in the theater.
Do I want a rat making my food?
Ratatouille was really hard for me to watch.
You know what soup they make?
Anything could drop in there.
He washes his hands.
I don't care.
That's the whole thing.
He's a cook.
Anyone can cook.
That was a hard movie for me to watch.
It felt like a scary movie.
Damn.

Anyways.
I'm dead serious.
Thanks, Trevor, for coming.
You said that to a chef.
I love Ratatouille so much.

Yeah.

Okay.

He's cute.
He's got a big hat on.
Okay.
So mice are fine.
He's got like a cute, like he's cute.
Oh, because he's got clothes on.
But he's not a rat.
This is really messed up.
Fiefel's not a rat.
No.
Fiefel's a mouse.
He's a cute little mouse with big ass ears.
But if Remy from Ratatouille, if he put on an outfit, would you feel a little better?
No.
No.
He could put on cute ass jeans.
Cute ass jeans.
Like he could put on apple bottom jeans and I'd be like absolutely zero.
His considerable girth.
Oh, God.
Oh, God.
And you're like, what's straining?
We're not fighting against each other.
We have the song.
- You little rap.
- Considerable language.
- Oh, thanks.
I said it, not me.
Little rat penis.
He puts on leathers and you're just like, Jesus.
Has the phrase little rat penis ever been in one of your books?
No, not yet.
It'll happen.
It's like how you describe the villain in the smut book.
It's like his little rat penis.
No, villains all have considerable lengths.
Everybody's got huge penises.
Yeah, and hey, considerable length is what's a considerable length to you.
It's whatever you as the reader get to fill that in.
Yeah.
Thank God.
They do all that and then they'll be like, and his cock.
And you're like, oh, okay, well, I know what that is.
