(upbeat music) - Hello, welcome to Smoshmouth, I'm Shane. - And I'm Amanda, that's me, and we have a wonderful guest for this today. It's Spencer! - What up? - And no applause in the room? - That's crazy, come on guys. - Now they're saving their applause. - They're saving their applause because while filming this, we just found out that we hit one million subscribers. - Woo! - Like what and it's our first time shooting in our new set. - Yeah. - Like. - And that gets no applause. - Whoa, guys. - Too much stuff. A million subscribers, new set, and Spencer? - What? - Too much. - I think you guys should have just a little applause button. - Just to say, show over there. - And it's just Lady Gaga. - A pause, a pause. - I think we'll keep it over here so that Amanda does. (laughing) - We've seen a man with a soundboard. - No, I'm not the soundboard. - No. - Amanda with the soundboard is devious. - I was just on Miles' pod and damn, I was like so envious of a soundboard. He has a big fart sound. - He's good at it too. - He is, he's like, oh my God, that's crazy. - He's like a fart DJ. - Should we get one? - We should get one. - We should get one. - Well, Mommy Selina just said that we could get one. - Mommy Selina? - Yeah. - Yeah. - And Lena. - Do you think the stories on Miles' podcaster are real? - Yes. - I think so too. - I've often wondered. I'm doing it on Saturday. - I think so too. Well, we did three that were, I'm not gonna spoil it, but they were epic. And one was, she was not in America. And I thought she was British and she was not. She was Dutch and whoa, did I get my ass handed to me. - Damn. Now I'm gonna go in on Saturday. I'm gonna be like, oh, you're bullshiting me, dude. I don't believe you. Face time me. I hope you do that. - Spencer, okay, do that. - I hope you do that. - That we're talking about perfect person, Miles' podcaster, perfect person. If you haven't listened to it, it's so good. - Wait, how did fans feel? I wanna know in the comments. How do you guys feel that we don't have a table? - Yeah, so we don't have, for those listening, we don't have a table anymore. - Yeah, for those listening. - And also our chairs are like, we went from like, we were sitting in like school chairs. - Yeah, yeah. - There were like plastic school chairs at the Board of F table, to now, look at this. Yeah, we're in our new studio. We are in our new Smash and All Studio. We're also fully smash is in our new studio. - Yep, so everything is shooting in one place, which is amazing. We're in Oxnard, it's really, it's really a cool place. - Oxnard's great. Yeah, we're on the fifth story of a building, most of it's lofts, most of it's like condos. - Downstairs is a hair salon. - Yeah. - Really wonderful people. - I know, but we managed to get one floor, just for us to have all our studios in. - I love it. - It's a great defying. - Kinda. - 'Cause at defying, we had the, we had the, I feel like y'all would talk about it back then, but they were above an MRI imaging building. - Yes. - So you would hear the MRI machine. - It was insane. - Oh my God, the MRI machine is so loud. - Yeah, you'd feel it. Couldn't wear jewelry on certain days. You get sucked to the floor. - Yeah, just bam. - I would love a magnet room. - What does that mean? - All right, go on. - I'm pitching, I'm gonna pitch it. Every time you walk in, if you're wearing jewelry, uh oh, whoops for you, you're gonna get stuck to the ceiling. - What if you have like a clitoral piercing or something? - Wow. - She, you wouldn't write it. - You wouldn't straight to that. - Jumping, right in. - Yeah, it's just, it had a funny clitoral. - Clitoral? - Yeah, a clitoral. - What if he had nipple piercings? - Yeah. - Yeah. - True. - With that of, with that of hit the same. - No. - No, you're right, man. Hey, we stand corrected. - We're right. - Anyways, guys, we're here to talk about the new studio. We're here to talk about how the pot is going to maybe shift in these comfy, comfy, comfy chairs. We're also here to talk about that we hit one million subscribers and we could not have done it without you, the listeners, the fans. We love you guys so much. - Yeah. - And here to help us do all that is Spencer. - I think I just had a realization that I might not be subscribed to Smoshmouth. - Oh, that's cool. - And you were talking shit before we started recording too. Like, we're not talking shit, but I'm like, I am surprised because you guys have routinely like such high performing episodes. It's like, you know, how do you reach over a million views? And I know this is such a stupid question. Like, reach over a million views when you don't have a million subscribers so regularly. And like, 'cause I guess like to me, this does feel like content that would cater to someone, like a subscriber of the Smosh ecosystem. - Yeah. But have you ever watched an episode of Smoshmouth? - Yes. - So, and you're not subscribed. - Like, I guess it's kind of my favorite. - So it's like, I think it is, you're right. Like, you kind of almost assume you're subscribed. - I think that is the case. I think YouTube is kind of like the for you page situation where it just recommends you shit. And it's kind of-- - Are you subscribed? - I should be. - We look at neither of us are subscribed. - I was not subscribed. I think I got called out for it at one point because I had a screenshot or something uploaded. And I had not been subscribed to Smosh Pit for like the first eight years of working. - Wow, you didn't like the content? - Yeah, it was like, no thanks. - You feel so far away. - I know, it's, we are much farther. Actually, how much further away are we? - Yeah, let's test this theory. - I wonder, I think you're definitely farther away. - We're definitely farther away, but by how much? - We could do, I have a pitch. What if like, I put my feet out and you put one of your feet on my feet. Like, we kind of made like a little triangle star with our feet. - And how does that measure? - Like, we do this, but like, I'm not saying we have to do it 'cause like, you know, the visual would live on forever. And it's like, it's potentially, like. - It's potentially damaged. - It's potentially damaging to a like- - What's damaging? - Putting my foot in a triangle with you guys. - Wait, Amanda, you're probably bigger feet than me, right? - Oh, for sure, honey. - What size do you have? - Seven and a half. - What is that, what's that? - Amanda could walk on snow. - Look at nine. (laughing) - I can't, it's called snowshoes, motherfucker. - Yeah, I don't know. I think that would be like a nine or 10? - No, like an eight and a half nine. - Oh, okay. - Oh, yeah. - You're an eight and a half? - I'm a 10. - You're a 10. - Yeah, you are. - You're a 10 in women's, or? - An LA 10. - Yeah, in women's, you take out-- - So that means that eight. - That's an eight and a half in-- - Yeah, so eight and a half are nine and then nine. - Okay, so-- - I'm bigger feet than you. - So we have rubber on the same foot. - I wear like eight and a half nine. - Sure, buddy. - Oh my god, we're the same. - This conversation is not boosting my confidence. - Yes, sure, buddy. - I love it. - I'm proud. - Yeah. - Because if I had small feet, I would fall over. - Yeah. - You got to let the big dogs out. - I got to let the dogs out. - Yeah. - Look at them. - How do y'all feel about feet? - I am not into feet like that. - Mm-hmm. - That's same. - But Spencer definitely is. Okay, we answered-- - The first episode of "Spawns on the New Studio." We had a million subscribers and Spencer comes out as a foot person. - Well, I'm not saying I'm a foot person. I'm just saying like the older I get, the more I'm like, yeah, they're kinda cute. - We take a couple months from shooting and Spencer has some time to himself. And now he's thinking-- - I'm not like, I'm not like-- - I'm not like slaubering over feet. - Wow, I'm just like, it's like in the same way. It's like, you know, you can appreciate hands. - I've never, what? Okay, go on. - Can you guys, I mean, I feel like you can appreciate a hand, okay. I'm gonna bring out one of my favorite movies as I always do Titanic. Do you remember when he's showing Rose the portraits? And she's like, you love hands, you're really into hands. - You really love hands. - And he's like, she's like, wow. She's like, I think that you have a love affair with this girl and then he said something, right? - He's like, yeah. - No. - When he's drawing, I think it's James Cameron's hand. - It is James Cameron's hand. Do you remember that? Have you ever seen Titanic? - I've seen Titanic. - Which VHS did you watch, one or two? - I only watched VHS two. - Okay, wait, wait. - What? - zoom in, this is when he's drawing. It's just, it's just like, zoom in. It's just, zoom in. So it's just. - There's nobody by the camera. - zoom in. So it's just two little hairs like this. This is leading around to Catherine. And he goes, he's so fucking sexy. - He's like, he's drawing Rose like this and he looks up and it's just like, oh, it made me be like, I'm gonna cut off all my hair, but then just have these two. - His bangs are operating in another wall. - Wait, what does that say about me? That I thought Leonardo DiCaprio was hot. - DiCaprio? - I'm not Leonardo DiCaprio was hot. So I wanted his haircut. What does that say? - I don't know. - I think there's like-- - That's fine. - Like, I don't think there's anything weird about that. - No, I think that's completely fine. - Guys, there's a lot of things that I'm struggling with here. - There's a lot of changes. - I'm a little overwhelmed because we have different mics if you can't see them. And I just watch Shane grip. - Shane is really, she's fucking working that thing good. - He's gripping the mic so hard right now 'cause we used to have stationary mics, but now we don't and things have changed. - Yeah. - God, it's gonna get really nice. - Anyways, feet, no. - That's fine. - That's fine. - Okay, I'll say, I'm completely indifferent to hands and feet. What do I-- - I don't think about it. - What about head and shoulders, knees and toes? - Well, toes are part of feet. - Yeah. - So no. - Nice, got 'em. - Like knees, I'll take over feet. - Hey, dude, boobies. - Now, I've heard about those. - You into boobies? - Pleas, those are pretty cool. - Those are cool. - Amanda? - Amanda's boobies, awesome boobies. - What is this? - I'm super into boobies. - Boobies! (laughing) - Go on. - Sorry, it's a playlist. - You make us, like, We have a new set where we lean back and we become just regular podcasts, bro. - Yeah, oh yeah. - Not me. - Okay. - I'm a strong woman still. (laughing) - Okay, go on. - But I do feel really lazy in this chair. It makes me be like, yeah, what you said. - It's hard not to, like, to be fair, we're also filming this at the end of a day on a Friday. - And Pennadis? - We in Pennadis for lunch. - What Pennadis do y'all go for? 'Cause we in Pennadis for lunch, I get the pepperoni pizza-filled one. - I get the caprese or the corn. And I didn't get that today and it was a mistake. - I did a beef and a chicken pot pie. - Okay. - So you can imagine. - And then I believe, because we hit a million subscribers today, as of recording this, they're delivering some sweet boba drinks for some of us. - Boba drinks? - Yeah, they're delivering it. - Yes. - What do y'all think about, like, boba? Like, like, the actual balls? - I'm not really a joke. - What do you think about balls? The biggest full circle, what do you think about balls? I love boba. - I think balls are delicious. - To me, the boba balls freak me out a little bit. Like, I don't know what they're actually made of. - They tapioca or something. - And what is that? - Fish guts. - What is tapioca? - They're sweet though. - They're fish guts. - Can we get confirmation on what boba is made of? - They're sweet, sweet. - Tapioca is a starch extracted from the root of the cassava plant. - Okay, so tapioca is a starchy, like, yeah, like, to me, it's like, it's a little unknowable and I don't want to be surprised by something in my drink. - It works in mysterious ways. The first time I got boba, this was a long time ago. And there was like one boba spot in LA that I knew of, that anybody knew about. And I remember going to my friend was like, there's this thing called boba and it's crazy. And I was like, all right, I'll try it. And I remember just being amazed by it. Be like, what the hell, but I loved it. - Yeah, for some reason it enhances the flavor. Like, the drink itself, whatever you're getting, like, if it's a Thai iced tea or something, that's delicious on its own. But you just add the boba and it just adds some fun to it. - Do you drink the balls? - Oh, yeah, you suck them right up. - I suck all those balls. - Yeah, to me, that's a super unnegative. - Suck 'em, gargle 'em. - Yeah, mash 'em, put 'em in a stew. (laughing) Have you guys ever seen the video and I encourage you to? Like, if you're-- - But man, I'm just gonna have to quit this podcast. - Honestly, this is a big ball. - Okay. - I'm just gripping it. - Okay, that was on my chair earlier today. - You did, okay. - This seems like something kind of homopobic. (laughing) - No, this is a shame. - I didn't know what to do. I couldn't operate. This, okay, for those listening, we have pillows, we have like regular pillows, but then we have like a big ball. - Can I say something like super gendered? Can I say something like super like, I'm going to make like a sweeping statement about a gender. - Okay. - Let's fucking go. - Women love pillows. - I have to agree with you. - Which half? - How do you have to agree? - So, in what context, in what context are you talking about? - In what context are you talking about? - I like some pillows, but I am not that type of lady that likes 100 pillows on my bed. I despise that. - I think, I thought what you meant? - Yes, that is what I meant. And I think that is a generalization I am comfortable making. - Okay, there are women that I know that do love a lot of pillows on a bed. I am not one of them. - How many pillows do you have? - Two. - One for my head. - Whoa. - Damn. - One for my head. I don't, like when hotels have like a thousand pillows, I'd rather sleep with none. - One pillow is intense. - One pillow for my head. - I just love a one pillow. - But couch, different. - I like like two pillows behind my back. One pillow right shoved in between my thighs. And another pillow, she just holds. - See, on the couch, on a chair, I'm like a no pillow person. I don't like pillows. Bed, I'm just like a two pillow person. 'Cause you have your pillow, you have your white pillow, or like the bed, the pillow you put your head on. - It could be any color. - But then you kind of have like a decorative, and pillows come in many colors. - But then you kind of have like a decorative pillow that you put in front of that. So that when you make the bed, it kind of like. - Yeah, yeah, I think aesthetically more pillows. - Ethetic, they're like just. - But if I'm sleeping, I'm like, all those other pillows are leaving, except for one pillow. - Pretty much. - You don't love pillows. - I like one pillow, like I love a pillow, but I like one pillow. - What about on a couch? - It's same, like about one pillow. - Like do you like these too? - Right under your arm. - Well, this is different. This to me is like this is kind of feeling, 'cause this couch is, this couch needs pillows so that I'm not like-- - Yeah, this couch is a wide girl, and we like that. - These aren't singular chairs, but they are basically couches. Two people could fit on every single one of these chairs. - Oh, there's no way that two-- - Like a pencil and I could comfortably sit on one of these chairs. - We have to do a pod where we share one. - We could absolutely do that. - Yeah. - You could do it now, we're already here. - Dude, just come, like. - Okay. - So it comes sit right here. Watch this. Watch this, and it's like not bad. Like, look at this. - Actually, this is better for me. No, 'cause you're not like, that's kind of my, you know, it's a lot of this. - Yeah. See, this is so much better for me. I feel like I brought you onto my pod. I'm just like, so, Ronnie and Mitch, how is the home search going? - The next time we do, we have you on this podcast. We should show up wearing one shirt. - Ew, that is so, broy and weird. That is like anchor man vibes. It's like, you need to go home. - That was her line. We found her line. - Yikes, like that weirds me out. I do not like it. It feels old school like, broy, comedy, like. I think if I were sitting like this permanently throughout the episode, I would be less inclined to ask questions like about feet. - See? - This makes me feel like I'm just like, so, when you come, you need to do that. You need to do the couples therapy impression. - Which one? - The cinamax or the, yeah. - Oh, that's her amount of prime. - Yeah. - And let him talk. What, what, let him talk. What do you think about this? What makes you think? What kind of feelings did this bring up? - Yeah, go ahead. - About your childhood and your mother when she spoke to you in that tone. - You want me to do this? - You see, I try, I try, and then I get nothing, and I feel like I'm losing my mind. And I'm putting in 100%, and he's putting in zero, and then I'm just so mad all the time, but then I'm mad that I'm mad. - Okay, okay, okay. - You're quantifying everything. - Okay, we heard this. - We heard this because everything is quantifying everything. - Yeah. - Okay, we heard from you. Now let's hear from Mitch. - Do we know any Mitch's? - So Mitch, you're not really taking this seriously. - Okay, Spencer, that's like this. - Got couples therapy, man, oh man. When I was in maternity leave, I ripped through those episodes. I love that woman. - It's on showtime, that's what I was thinking about. - Yeah, it's on showtime. - Rough. - It's so good though. - But it is rough, like she, don't I love about her, she stays pretty quiet, you haven't seen it, huh? - No, I thought it was just a character you're doing. - No, it's a real show. - So I felt like I was like, what do I do? - It's a real show that is really intense to watch, and it shows I'm like, wow, being like a couple's therapist, that is. - And she's in New York, it's like, there's all different people coming in. - I was gonna say like the clientele. - The clientele is like, everyone is unique, everyone is different. There's, like what she has to navigate, but my favorite part about the couple's therapy, her, is she has like a therapist, who she gets to go over everything with, and the therapist like talks to her about it. - Yeah. - And oh my god, if you had her as a therapist, either of them. And then there's the therapist group. Like it'll be her doing these couple's therapy sessions, and then it'll cut to her with like five other therapists where they go over their sessions. - They like joint diagnosis. - They like talk shit. No, it actually, genuinely, she gets other opinions. - I think that would be the hardest part about being a therapist or someone like that is working in a vacuum where it's like you're only getting one perspective, and you're just fully having, like I don't like solving any problem alone, like I love to talk it out. So that must be super useful for any. - Well, she is alone during, like during those sessions, but she does go back and take her notes to like her therapist, and this therapist is just like, she's so direct, she's not indecisive, it's amazing. - But it's why therapists aren't supposed to give advice, right? Like they're not, it's because they're getting one, they're just hearing one person's perspective. They're not supposed to be like, yeah, you should break up with them. Like they don't do that. They should be. - But how many therapists, how many people that you talked to was like, oh my therapist said this and you're like, what? - Now that's what there, here's a problem though. They're putting, I do think we put words into our therapist's mouth sometimes. - Yeah, right. - But I think that is almost in a way, what a therapist is supposed to do is, they're supposed to help you gain clarity. They're supposed to ask the right questions, they're supposed to guide you and challenge you. But they're not supposed to tell you what to do, because they're not in your life, they don't know what's going on. They're supposed to help you understand your situation more. - I commend the people that say yes to getting their therapy session filmed or recorded because boy, oh boy. - My God, 'cause some of them are absolute assholes. Because in season one, like right off the gun, there is a guy who is such an absolute monster to his what, he's such a child. - But has doesn't think that he is. - He clearly said yes, [BLANK_AUDIO] He's like, "Yeah, like whatever." But he's just like, I'm just like, I hate you immediately. And I'm like, everybody who watches this probably hates you. - And she, the wife, I feel for her, but I also see why she's still in the relationship. Like, I see, it was so frustrating for me because they spoke in completely different languages, not literally. They were just like, on completely different paths. - It's, journeys. - It's fat, it is endlessly fascinating, but it is also, at times, depressing. - Yeah. - 'Cause you're just like, oh. - How long after the like, do you see one therapy session or do you see multiple? - Multiple. - It's a whole, like the season will follow several couples. - Until they're done. So I think they sign up for like a certain amount. And then when they're done, they either it's like, then they, or she can stop them in a way and be like, "I can't help you guys." - She has done that. - Did they do the thing where, you know, it's like, it would be like at the end of like, my strange addiction or something. - Oh, they stay together. - Yeah, it's like, it'll be like, eight months later, like, blah blah happened. - Sometimes, sometimes. - Some of them do get divorced. And then some of them, it's just kind of leaves unresolved. You're just like, yeah, all right, they're leaving, but it's not great. - You've got to find them yourself. - Some couples, you do see them kind of turn things around. And it's really nice to see you. - It's really nice to see you're like, whoa. What if we had an on-site therapist at Smosh, like, but like for certain shoots, like, it'd be like a werewolf shoot. And then, it'd be like, oh, things got a little intense for bringing in the on-site therapist. - I pitched this for a show, but we didn't do the show. Because the therapist would've been too expensive. - Yeah. - I mean, not logistical. I'm like, what would be funniest thing to have a therapist on set for? - Try not to laugh when you bomb. - Yeah. - And it's like, you're immediately like, you're, we're still filming the episode, but it's like, ooh, you failed. - Immediate gratification. - You can walk off and there's a therapist to talk to. - And then it's, and it cuts to like, this gorgeous room. - And it cuts to like, the most serious session. - And it's just like, so I put on that wig and I thought, I thought that wig meant that I was a little boy, but it like, it didn't, it didn't work. They thought I was a grown man. And it's like, what, what, what, what was your childhood life? (laughing) - We need to be crying. - We have to do cutaway gags in try not to laugh. - Yeah. - I love that. Okay, so this might be a spoiler, but the new try not to laugh set has a doorway. - Bro. - And it's such a game chain. - Game, to enter through a door. - Yeah. - It changes every, I mean, it's perfect. It's like sitcom. - Yeah. - This, let's talk about the new studio for a second, speaking of the try not to laugh stage. Okay, so there's three stages and the try not to laugh stage. Things are gonna kind of look similar on camera, except for games. - Games, I mean, we changed a couple of the colors around, but you know, essentially what happened is a lot of the old set was one to one transplanted to the new location. - Yeah. - And rebuilt using a lot of the same parts, but built taller and a little bigger, just so we had more space to do, you know, kind of anything we needed. - Oh, we shot on the game stage. You probably did too. The amount of space, it was so, so nice. I also really like the color, the background color. - Thank you. I would say like besides, like this set is probably the biggest, like aesthetic upgrade. - Yeah. - But I feel like most of the upgrades are more practical. - Well, that set, you guys can't see it, but over there we have like a, you know, painted green screen, white screen, all the way down, so it's gonna look so much better. - Yeah, but a lot of it, a lot of the shows aren't gonna look drastically different, but like you said, we have different lighting, we have different, just like ability to shoot things. - It's different for us. - Yeah, like I don't know if it really, if people realized when watching our videos in the past of like, for how many shows we were filming in one studio, like we didn't have a ton of space in the sense that for where camera could move to film things was sometimes-- - Yeah, and that's the funny thing about like, even now I don't consider Bordeff and Smoshmouth having shared a set where it's like they truly did, but the Bordeff table did not feel like the Bordeff table once you flew those microphones in, like it felt like a totally different, I know. - That's crazy, the Bordeff shared Smoshmouth. That's wild, and now we share assumptions. - Yeah, this is now where they film assumptions. - And yeah, I think are those the two shows? - Yeah, I think those are those the two shows? - Those are the two shows, and that's the only set that does multiple shows. - But if we probably, and I mean we want to eventually do more podcasts, I think moving to this new studio allows that possibility to come to fruition sooner, I'm assuming they will also be here. - Yeah, I think so, probably. - They'll probably be standing right behind us and doing it. - And they'll have to do it at the same time. - And it's like, you know, it's really about just taking up space. - Has anyone ever done like three podcasts at once? - That sounds like a thing. - And they all load them into the one episode. You know, you just hear three different conversations happening at the same time. - That was how Uno slip it in was. - Oh my god, Uno slip it in. It's my first time playing Slip it in. What a fun name, by the way. And I got the most ridiculous phrases that you would never be able to slip in. - What was one? - Win Chimes on Etsy. Oh, watch me beat you in Tetris on an old school Nintendo. - You're never bought Win Chimes on Etsy. - But I couldn't say it. - I legitimately, see, I would have, I would have schooled you guys on that one 'cause I've legitimately looked for Win Chimes on Etsy. - No, no, Shane, you wouldn't have, because this is how it went. Okay, Trevor was getting really heated because he was trying to slip things in, but then he wasn't and then he was getting really heated and I totally get why. A raw show was just like, I slipped it in like every five seconds and then Angel was just going like, bye, bye, bye, much room. Like saying random things and go, I slipped it in at some point. And we were like, so then I just started being like, you know, namaste. I just started saying things. Spencer was there, it was so crazy. - I mean, it's a game that truly encourages, we need like a Smosh Games after show where it's like, how do we think that went? - With this therapist. - Yeah. - So tell me about the stuff. - I felt like what you were feeling. - But it's so hard because, you know, we previously did it where it's Mario Kart and for context for you at home. The way Slip It In Works is you are given phrases that you have to slip into conversation unnoticed and they can be super outlandish. And but previously we played it while they were playing Mario Kart and in this time we had them and, you know, I don't know when it airs probably way after this but we have them do it while playing Uno. And so you're playing two games at once and Slip It In is so demanding from a thinking standpoint. - An observation standpoint. - Yeah. - You gotta be listening. - 'Cause also it's like, you know, if you and I are talking during the game and Amanda just says something, it's like. - So Gar smoke reminds me of my grandpa. - It's like, if I hadn't clocked her even saying that, like to me, it's such an incredible active listening exercise. - I feel like it needs to be, I think for Smoshmouth it would be perfect. - I think so too. - Because with Smoshmouth, we aren't doing something distracting us and the etiquette to make it a good episode is ideally people are talking one at a time. - Yeah, yeah. - Should not be talking, multiple people should not be talking. - It was, and that's why Trevor was getting overwhelmed and I totally get it. It was, I mean, everything I had to say just, it was very clear it was to slip it in. Everything that I said was, it was so ridiculous, but I had the best time. I honestly was laughing so hard. - Yeah, but it is like, it is crew's control for getting overstimulated. Like it is, I could think of no faster way to overstimulate someone. - I think we should do it for Smoshmouth at some point. - Oh, I love that idea. - I think that'd be perfect. - I think y'all really should, and hey, happy. - Going back really quick. This is a dumb little thing. We keep giving the couple therapy lady an accent and she doesn't have one. We're thinking of Esther Perrell. - We're thinking of Esther Perrell. - You know what, I combined my two lovely therapist into one. - Yeah. - Is Esther Perrell, is that the sex therapist? - Esther Perrell is where she will be getting. - That's not even a good accent of hers. - Esther Perrell. - Yeah, I listened to a crazy episode where she talked to a guy in his AI girlfriend. - Oh, she's still around. - Esther Perrell, oh yeah. - Where should we begin? - Phew. - I have her board game. - I need to listen. I need to read some of her books. - Gordy F. - Oh. - She has a book on infidelity that I'm really curious about. - Yeah, 'cause I'm like, that's a crazy type. - Yeah, 'cause I fucking love it. No, 'cause I'm really fascinated by it. - She is, relationship and behavioral shit. - Agreed, she is amazing. I love her. - Yeah. - Anyways. - Going back to something. - So the game's stage, as it did in the last studio, it has like two parts, essentially. The board I have table and then the couch. Are you, can you spoil anything that you're like hoping to film in the new studio? - No. - You're done? - No. - You're not gonna tell us anything? - No. - All right, man. - Okay. - Hey, cool. - I think so. - I'll tell you what Shane's planning. - Yeah. - He's doing a naked run around the whole studio. - We're gonna go streaky. - We're, we're going to-- - We're going to light some up but he'll have a flashlight and we don't know where. - And so when we film our hide-and-seek episode, look out for me. - Someone really should be naked for that. - Fuck. - Wait, there we go. - Oh my god, look. - Oh my god. - Oh my god. - And he's just hanging. - See? - Flattened dick and balls around their hands and legs just stretched out. - Seeing somewhat like. - Finding something naked is so scary. - The thought of looking up and you're just sitting up and it's just like your butt and you're hanging on and you're just like, wow. - Me hog tied from the rafters. - I guess they're shain. (laughing) I guess they're shain. - Oh boy, don't look at that. - It's like why does he have an apple in his mouth? - Beg slowly lowered over a fire. - You were the last one to find. - Oh, you won. (laughing) - There was a string of horror movies where a lot of the horror would just be like, oh, what if we put some naked people in the background for you to clock? - Oh, you're talking about like hereditary. - Hereditary. - Hereditary, but like a couple other movies. - Yeah, that too. - I didn't like hereditary. - I know you don't like hereditary. - I was giggling. - And I love hereditary. - That's so funny, dude. - Hereditary is, I do think my hot take. Hereditary on like re-examining it and re-watching it, it is funny as fuck. - It's so funny. - It's like, really funny. And that director has gone now more into comedy, which is so funny. - What's the last comedy that he did? - We did "Eddington." - "Eddington" is pretty funny. - I will say, I really didn't like when Tony Collette was on the wall. - Oh. - That part I would like. - Tony Collette's performance is what's scary. - I mean, she's the original, six cents, do you remember? - Yeah, dude. Do you remember six cents? - Yes. - I've actually, I've never seen all of six cents. - What the fuck? - I know, I did. - Do you wanna hear something crazy? And I just realized, one of my favorite movies, I didn't realize the boy's name is Cole. - Which one? - The one who sees dead people. - What are six cents? - Yeah. - Oh, okay, okay. - It's my son's name. - It's Cole. - And you remember that. - I guess. - You think it was like bubbling under there somehow. - I can't believe you named him that, 'cause now he can see ghosts. - Is that why he keeps talking to the lady in the room? - The lady in the room? - It's you bro. - Like you already know. (laughing) - That's you. - Man, man, oh man. When you get a baby monitor and you watch horror movies, don't do it. - The big monitor made for horror movies. - It is legitimately scary. - It's so scary. - Yeah. - It was like, there's nobody in there and I'm like, it's just like grainy black and white. I'm like, that's terrifying. - I was gonna say I recently watched the dawn of the dead movie where the lady gives birth to the zombie baby. - Yeah. - It's unfortunately, they set it up to be so scary. And then you finally see the CGI zombie baby. And it's like the funniest shit. And it makes this goofy-ass sound. I'm like, oh, you kind of, you lost me. - When I watched it as a kid, it scared the fuck out of me. - I'm sure it was scary. But now it's just, it's very silly. - Speaking of, you said you've been going through and watching basically every zombie movie from the past like 100 years. - I wouldn't go that far. I've been watching, I've been working my way through like the George Romero zombie movies 'cause I had not seen most of them and wow. Like, you remember like, were you guys a part of like that zombie craze from, it was like, you know, I guess like Walking Dead was kind of the culmination of it. - I never watched Walking Dead. It's something I missed. - I've never liked zombie shit. - Oh. - Like kind of at all. - Wait, I love zombie shit. - I kind of don't like zombie stuff. Maybe have you kind of like need to go away. - I've watched Night of the Living Dead. I've watched Dawn of the Dead. - 28 days? - I've watched 28 days later. - 28 days later is a little bit different. There's some things that kind of I do love. Like, I love the video game The Last of Us, right? - Yeah. - But. - No, that's not like traditional zombie. I'm talking like, like, did you read? I mean, what really kicked it off for me was one shot of the dead and two, it was like the ultimate zombie survival guide. And that guy went on to write World War Z, which is, have you read that book? - I have not read that book. So I assume you seem like someone who has probably seen the movie. - Yeah. - But Brad Pitt. - The book is nothing like it, but it's incredible. It's read like a war reporter. And it's written after like the zombie outbreak, kind of like destroys like three quarters of the world's population. And it's a reporter who goes around talking to people who like, 'cause it breaks out in like a small village in China. And he goes and he meets with like the doctor there who was like on the front lines. And he tracks people who were there at all the different points in the war. Up until like, so, you know, you just see, it's like a historical perspective of it. And it's incredible. And it's terrifying. - Whoa. - 'Cause you get little vignettes of like, people recounting stories of like, yeah, here's where I was when it happened. And here's how I survived for the like, X amount of years on this. Like, one of the chapters is it's, he interviews the people who were on nuclear submarine. And that was where they were like hiding for most of it and how they kind of had to, you know, where they figured they could surface. Like, you know, how they were interacting with people, how they were receiving their news from like, top side. But that's kind of, like, it extends into like, apocalyptic fiction, which is always, I've always loved. Like, you know, it's just like, you know, how do people function after the apocalypse? - Right. - Like, a submarine is scary enough. - Yeah, I hate submarines. - I haven't read World War Z, but I read his other book. His one, the Sasquatch one. - The Sasquatch one. I didn't read that one. - It honestly, you love Sasquatch. - It was really great. - A scary Sasquatch guy? - I like Sasquatch. - I like Sasquatch. - I love Sasquatch. - I love Sasquatch. But Sasquatch isn't necessarily scary. Like, my view of Sasquatch is just kind of like, yeah. - You got like a Harry and the Henderson's POV? - A little bit more. Just, just, I, just whatever. Like, it's just out there and it's like, you know. - Surely, I don't know if I believe in Sasquatch. - Did you grow up with Harry and the Henderson's? - Okay. - Did you watch that grow up? - I did watch it. My grandparents showed it to me and that end shot when all the Sasquatch come out of the woodwork genuinely. - I don't remember that. - I don't remember that at all. - It's a go to shot because they're like, oh, they bring him to like, for those who don't know, Harry and the Henderson's about a family who, John was like, me, it's like Sasquatch. - Sasquatch is like, pretty freaking good. - Yeah, and they're like, all right. So they're hanging out with Sasquatch. - Do you want to cabin, a cabin, right? - It's like, very silly. They're hanging out with Sasquatch the whole movie. But at the end, they're like, let's take him back home and they bring him to the woods and he like, comes to the entrance of the woods and you're like, oh, like, I wonder if he's just gonna walk into the woods and meet his family. And all of a sudden, like, tons of Sasquatch appear and a ton of them were like, in frame, just so well camouflaged. - I gotta rewatch it. - This is my memory of it. Being like, whoa, they're all actually there. We just don't, we don't see a rep. - Oh, I haven't seen any. - I've seen this movie. - I never actually saw Harry and the Henderson's. I just imagine the whole movie in my head. - I just remember this scene in the kitchen when he's in there and I remember as a kid being like, whoa, he really looks like a Sasquatch. - Oh, I wonder who did, like, if it was like a Jim Henson or like a Frank God. - It's so good. - It's very good. - There is a part where it's 'cause the, John Lithgow plays like an artist or something, right? And like, at one point, he paints bigfoot, but he makes him scarier. He like, he draws him scary. And I've always had like a weird phobia of like paintings and sculptures that are like supposed to be scary. Like, picture of Dory and Gray. - Oh, yeah. - That's like so scary to me. Or at the beginning of X or Sist, when he sees the statue. Like the scariest part of that is just like a statue that like, frankly, just has bad vibes. There's something so scary about a, or Ghostbusters II, that painting of the old man. - Yeah, that is scary. - There's just something that's so scary. - You're scared of scary paintings. - I'm scared of scary paintings. - I do not like creepy paintings. One time, my friend was like doing construction. When I lived back home, I was in my childhood home. My good friend from college was doing construction for this rich guy and he was giving away all these old school incredible paintings. And he was like, "Hey, there's this painting "that of a woman who really looks like you." And I was like, "Okay, he brought it over in his truck." It was like, honestly, half the size of this wall. Massive. It was huge in this gorgeous, gold frame. And it's like this woman who looks like a maiden and she has like long dark hair. She looks like Esmeralda, kind of. And she has a pigeon. And she's kissing the pigeon. But the beak is going in her mouth. And she's got like water pouring and there's like a gorgeous like scenery. But it's just that. And I was like, "Thanks." And he was like, "Yeah, it looks just like you crazy, right?" And I was like, "All right, bye." And then I remember putting it in my room. And I had nightmare after nightmare after nightmare. And I put it out my little sister who's like very like, she was like, "You gotta get rid of that picture." It's creepy as hell. She's making out with a bird. And I was like, "Yeah." - Yeah. So I don't even mess with like a state sale. - Especially with like an original. There's something to like, of just like, okay, someone put in days of work into this. And it's like, what was their inspiration? What's the energy they were putting in? And I'm not like a absolute believer in that stuff. But I'm still just like, "Oh, I love like Dunkin' On Y'all." And you're like, "Oh, maybe there's a ghost." I'm like, "Ha ha." But then like as soon as a picture comes up, I'm like, "Oh no, there's a tangible energy of this picture that I don't like." - My instincts are there. I remember one time staying at a cabin. And like, I was sleeping in a loft. And in like the corner of the room was like, just kind of on the floor like up against the wall. It was just a painting that was just kind of creepy. Like of a guy and like, it was just like kind of off. And I remember just being like, "You gotta be fucking kidding." Like I was like, "Jesus Christ." Like, I'm-- - Dude, I totally believe in that. And what's funny is this new studio, and Anthony really wants to put some paintings up in this new studio, which I agree, 'cause there's like a lot of beautiful white walls. But there is a couple creepy spots in this new studio already, 'cause we don't have art yet. Have you seen it? You've probably seen it. It's the little hallway, 'cause they like messed up a little bit of the construction. It's a hallway that you go down. It's like concrete. And then there's a tiny hallway that fits nothing. And it's really, really long. And then at the end, it's a dead end. - She's got the phone. - Oh, by the studio. - I would say this-- - Backroom's fine. - Our new studio. Studio has more back rooms vibes than haunted. - I don't feel a haunting vibe here 'cause it feels too fresh. - No? - Well, and this isn't a new building, by the way. This isn't a new, we didn't build this building, right? We, the, the, so it's been here. Same with the previous studios and all the studios - Okay, but do you guys get any ghosty vibes in the new studio? - No, not here. - I don't think I've ever been in any place where I've gotten ghosty vibes. - Definitely not, I don't get ghosty vibes. - Not the old studio, not this studio. - I once went to a friend's place and I walked in and I was like, ooh, I do not feel good. I'm not even, I'm not even kidding. (laughing) - I do not feel good. - Do you feel like you're in a fart? - Oh, go away. - We have to, Amanda, we have to tell the story. Sorry to change the subject and ghost. - What story? - Okay. - When you started it. - No, no. - He's promised that he would never tell a story. - I gotta tell, I gotta tell one of the funniest things that's happened in so fucking long. - Oh. - So, so a bunch of us went and saw Chance's musical "Hitch." - Yeah, Spencer was there, he was in my room. - And it was with the hurricane. - By the way, amazing show. If they ever do it again. - And you haven't seen it, you must. - You gotta go, you do not need to know the movie "Hitch" at all. - No. - It's just, that's just the basis. - Chance wrote it. - So, we see the movie. And then afterwards, a few of us are like, oh, let's go, like, we want to go and grab a drink. - I missed that. - Yes, sorry. - Yeah. - I wanted to go home. So, I was pretty late. - It was a Sunday night. It was pretty late. - It was pretty late. - And we were filming the next day. - Yeah. - But so, we go to this bar. And at the bar, there's kind of like, it has like an alley next to the bar. - It feels very New York. - That you can go out and there's some like benches. And so, we're all hanging out there. It's a Russia, Courtney, Amanda. They're sitting on the bench. It's me, H, and Daniel Thrasher was with us. - And Angela. - And Angela was also there. - He started naming people that I just like, absolutely like. - And like, people I really look up to, like. - And one close was there. - One close was there. George Romero was there. Tom Cruise was doing backflips. - Oh yeah. - Anyways, we're kind of in a circle hanging out. And down the alleyway, maybe about 10 feet, maybe 15 feet from us is a guy. Just a regular guy sitting on a bench on his phone. - That was me, dude. - Yeah. - It's headphones in. - He had headphones in his ears, and he's just chilling on his phone. - With like a beer. - And we're talking, Daniel Thrasher's kind of faced away from this guy. He like, we're the circles at. This is important. - And I have direct line of sight of this guy. I'm on the other side of our little circle, where we're talking. And as we're in the middle of conversation. - Yeah. - We're talking about stuff. We're laughing, whatever. We're talking, we're talking. And this guy rips the loudest fart I've ever heard until loud. - And I'm talking, and it's a long one. It's not like, it's like, we're talking. And I look over. I see him lifting a leg. He's going like, and we are, we are mid-convo. - We are silenced. - Full. - We stop talking. - And I, and H and I are like kind of far away, so we're kind of like, wait, did we just. - Wait, did we just hear that? - We're just here to figure out what's happening. - I thought it was maybe Daniel. - And then Daniel goes, we all heard that. (laughing) We're all gonna be chill about it. And that's what happened, and we're gonna, and we gotta just continue. And then he goes, hey, Daniel literally, lifts up his glass and goes, let's cheers to that. (laughing) - And the guy does not, does not acknowledge. - And does look over. - He was listening to fart sounds on his headphones. He was like, oh, it must have been part of the song. - No, it, like, he ripped it for like a long time. - It was lifted up his ass for it. - Right. (laughing) - Like, he truly, no, I looked over, and he was doing like, full on like a high kick. - The fact that he was farting so long you had time to visually find the farter before it ended. - Let me tell you, Spencer, there was like no one in the alley but him and us. - And it must have been the wind. - It was, it was awesome. - He wants to have been listening to whatever he wanted, and he was like, I have to fart, I don't care. - And I think what's, or maybe he farted, and then had the realization of like, oh my God, I have headphones in like, oh shit. - Was it loud. - And then just kinda had to stay in his phone, he couldn't look around. - And he didn't, he stayed there for a long time. - It is scary, when you have headphones in, 'cause when I'm at the gym and I have headphones in, I'm like, oh, maybe I could silently get away with something, but I'm like, I have no idea what's happening. - Ew, you're squatting fart, didn't you? - No, and I would never be around anybody, but if I'm like on a stairmaster and go-- - Look at that, look at that. - If I'm on a stairmaster and nobody's around me, I'm like, all right, but I'm still like, what if it's really loud? Just shaying on a stairmaster, just like, (laughing) And you're like, God, this new album. - Why is my heart rate 200? (laughing) - You think, I would think farting would lower your heart rate. - I would think so too, and I think it would give me buoyancy. I think it would lift me up a little bit. - Farts will never not be funny. - Why? - It's like, like, yeah, that was, yeah. - Effectively, it was an insane man. - It was insane. And you know what? It was just, it brought a lot of joy to us. - I managed, but, like, our fans are gonna be shocked to hear this. I managed to not, like, burst out laughing. - None of us did. - 'Cause it was actually, like, shocking. - None of us did. - It was true. - We were all like this. - We were kind of like, oh my God. - What if you turned and looked over and he was fully naked just standing there? - And he's like, well, you guys hear that? (laughing) - Did you hear my-- - So, yeah, that was a spooky thing that happened to us. - Can I tell my story after "Chances" show? - Yeah. - I went to Jack in the box and I tried their new hot, it's, like, spicy, hot, honey mozzarella sticks and they were awesome. - They hit? - They hit. It's, like, the chillies kind of thing, you know, that how chillies has started to do. They're, like, honey chipotle coated mozzarella strips. - Yeah. - Jack in the box does one and it comes with, like, dipping ranch. I was very pleasantly surprised. - Do you wanna hear something, whoa? - Kind of insane. - What? - I don't think I have tried a new fast food item from my regular order in my entire life. - Oh, no. - You're still locked in, like, what, you had as a kid? - Like, whenever I've gone, I don't try, like, when they come up with a new thing, I never, I've never tried it. - I have to try the new thing. I fucking have to try the new thing. - I've only had Jack in the box, like, once and it was because you brought something in and you're like, oh, they have these new little mini tacos. - Oh, the tiny loaded tacos? - Yeah. - So good. - So I had one. - Jack in the box is pretty good. - Jack in the box, like, because I was dismissive my first couple of years in LA and then I, then you find what its strengths are. And it is kind of like the weirder, like, spin-off things. 'Cause if you go toe-to-toe with like a, even like a Wendy's burger, it's like you're, like Wendy says, it's kind of cracked the burger recipe. - Really? - Wow. - I like a Wendy's burger. - I haven't had Wendy's in, like, 10 years. - I haven't had Wendy's, Wendy's was like, where we went to hang out in high school and I haven't been to a Wendy's since. - I just don't have fast food that often. - That's fair. - You get, like, Taco Bell. I get, like, five crunchy tacos. - That's crazy. - And that's all I've ever gotten. - Okay, so you don't like to change your order. - I just said, I'm like, this is what I know is good. And usually when I get fast food, it's, I'm in, like, it's like 2am or something. So I'm not, like, in the zone where I'm like, I'm going there. I never, like, go out in seeking fast food. I'm like, oh, I need something and it's there. - I cannot picture you at 2am being around, yet, like, a drive-through. - You don't fucking know me. - I really don't know you that well, like, damn. I don't know you at all. - You don't know me. - Nobody, and nobody knows 2am me. - Nobody does. - Nobody knows that. - I don't think he exists. - No, and he doesn't. - Shane, yeah, I, Shane, that's 'cause he doesn't. - Sometimes he does. - And I will, like, text Shane at, like, if I text Shane after 11, I kind of, like, just assume, and it would kind of be the same for you. I'm like, there's no way they're awake. - Yeah. - It's true. - And it's true with me. - Most nights, I, I am asleep. - Yeah. - I've been going to bed at, like, one o'clock. - It's been my time lately. - You're a, but you're a night owl. - Yeah, like, I could keep going, usually. - Like, I can't. - Wow. - I'm such a morning person. - Same. - I love the morning. - Have you always, because Shane, I became, yeah. - More of a morning person. - Actually, no. - Yeah. - I've been a morning person for a long time, but I've been come, like, intense morning person. - I'm a morning person, except when I worked as a bartender, obviously, I was forced to be a night person. - Yeah. - But I never wanted to be a night person. - My husband's a night owl. Like, he could be up 'til 3 a.m., no problem. - That's crazy. - Me, I'd rather be up at, like, five. - I think it's, I mean, obviously it's two sides of the same coin, but it's like, when you're up that late, you are getting, like, a period of quietness. And it's the same when you get up really early in the morning. It's just, like, it's kind of your time. - Exactly. - And I think, like, it makes sense to almost, well, I don't know, 'cause court, I would think, is a morning person, too. They're like, what if they were just a day person? They kind of are, they become more of a morning person. I mean, this job, you kind of have to get up early sometimes. - Yeah, we have morning person. - Especially because she, in order to, like, get her hair and makeup ready, like, if we have an 8 a.m. call time, she might be waking up at 5.36 to fully be ready. And then, you know, I wake up and go to the gym in the morning. So, 8 a.m. call time means I'm waking up at 5.30. - Yeah. - Or so. - I'm always waking up at 5.30. - Well, I'm assuming nowadays-- - Full is up. - You literally, when do you sleep? - You literally-- - I woke up at 7.30 this morning. I was kind of up at like 5.30. - But on the weekends, I love waking up early because, like, 6 a.m. being up and having nothing to do is so awesome. - That's the full-- - 'Cause I'm like, oh, the gym might not even be open yet. Like, there's nothing I can do besides make coffee and, like, hang on. out. It's so quiet, but it's like my cats are awake by that point. Do you like read a book? Yeah, I love reading in the morning. Reading first thing in the morning is awesome because it's quiet, but it's like the sun here in LA, like the sun's usually rising pretty early, so I get some natural sunlight, and it's just quiet, it's chill, and reading is just so nice. Oh my god, what is that like? And I'm just like, oh, what is that like? Me, I'm literally sleeping until at least. You know what it's like. You're just starting a different experience now. I did, I will say I did have that life, and it was, it was really nice, and I have a different experience, and honestly, it is really, really, really fun. It's really nice because when I do get those quiet moments when he's napping and reading, it feels like stolen time. It feels so, so precious, and I will say my mornings are now filled with like this really fun experience, like he's learning how to pick up Cheerios, which is like a full skill. It's like a, whoa. What kind of cheerios are you giving them? Pinch or grass. Yeah, what kind of cheerios? Right. Regular. Regular. Nothing. Just honey, not that multi-grain, not honey nut or anything. No. Do you hate him? No, no sugar, no sugar, baby. I'm gonna be honest. I thought honey nut Cheerios were the standard Cheerios. They're the best. They probably are the standard. Did you ever have like cinnamon Cheerios? No. Sorry, not cinnamon frosted Cheerios. No. No. No. Incredible. See, cereals are where I will try different, I will try different shit. I love trying a new cereal. I love trying a new fast food. But to me, the beauty of fast food is like, well, you know, I will get my standard, which usually isn't that much. I don't have like a big order at Taco Bell. Taco Bell would be like, I'll get the crunch wrap if I want something safe, and then I will try like the one new item. It's so good. Usually they have like fun new drinks. I love it trying a fun new drink. I don't do that. Wow. Because you're up early reading. Yes, because I'm busy filling my brain with knowledge. I'm always trying new books. I will say the morning, the morning is the best time. And like, for us, I don't mind an early call time because I think it's harder to get here later in the day and start shooting. Like, today I got here a little bit later and it was harder to like get going because the people who are already here early are already warmed up. They're already ready to go. If you feel a little bit late, I would rather come early and leave early because also the studio, we're so lucky. The studio is a lot bigger and therefore there are so many spaces for the actors to hang out. There's the lounge. There's the wardrobe. There's the green room. So you kind of have to like find everybody. And if you don't, you're actually weirdly, which I love in like a quiet space by yourself. Where? I, I, yeah, it's such a weird experience here at this new place where there's moments of quiet. Because at the previous studio, it was basically a giant warehouse with concrete floors. And there was no separate rooms. We had the studios and then it was just like a big open space, which was kind of nice. But it was great for finding people. It was great for finding people because they just looked around. But there was never a moment of quiet. And I really struggled with that because I, I love quiet. I just occasionally. I need, I need to get a break. I need quiet. I need like a good amount of quiet probably every day because my nervous system gets a little overwhelmed. I was overwhelmed a lot there. It was tough. I couldn't do work there. Neither could I. That's, yeah, I got pretty, not noise cancelling, but like sound isolating headphones because you know, I have to give like notes and like, yeah, like when you have to lock in, it was a hard place to lock in. It was very hard. And I think there are so many spaces here to lock in. They're so, that it's more easy. There's so many spaces and like the furniture is so beautiful. Like we just got so lucky with like, it just feels like there's space to spread out. And there's space to like have like, you know, private conversations or spaces to like change up the scenery or keep things fresh or film things. Like I feel like filming our social content would be like a lot more fun. People are going to see a lot more backgrounds. But I just think that the designers did such a really fucking good job. And I feel very, I feel very lucky because I'm like, oh my god, beautiful. I'm still like learning the map though. Like I'm like, I'm getting lost. I'm learning the routes. Like, you know, like what are the shortcuts? Where can I, you know, also it's crazy to me that the offices are in a completely different area than all the shooting because before it was, you know, one space. Yeah. Yeah. I, I, I, I'm going to bring up something controversial. What do you think, bathrooms? Oh god, do you want this? No, bathrooms. I'm struggling. Bathrooms are a bit. I hate it. I hate to talk, not talk shit. But it's it's no pun intended. I'm a little, I'm struggling with them. But we do have a bathroom that is that is a single like bathroom. I need a one stall. Well, so the problem is. Yeah. Yeah. We have our bathrooms. They have like two stalls in them, right? But the doors are like the wooden slat ones. I will say they're pretty like hard to see. I can't see you in there. I know. And I wasn't looking. I know. But like, I know what you're standing very close. If you peer, you can sit in no eyes, but no, it's more than I'm like, it's, it's definitely more just a me thing where that I'm like, the fact that there is holes, the fact that there is slats in this door. I'm just like, well, like, I think it's also because in our old studio, we'd never had shared bath. This is, this is multiple, I think it's more, these are also multiple stalls in one bathroom. We never had that in the old space. I, I love to feel sealed and like safe. Oh, we talked about this because like in my home, by myself, if I am home alone, I'm shutting the door. Oh, I'm keeping that door flat. I'm shutting the door. I want to see if murderers are coming in. My cats are jamming their paws underneath the door. Like, what the hell, man? Let us in. Oh, cats in my lap, bro. No. No, bones will try. Can you picture this? I'm picturing Shane on the toilet, just like sitting like this. I do. Oh my god. That's for some reason how I'm seeing Shane sitting on the toilet. So no one loves it. Yeah. I'm pretty, I'm pretty open with what I, what I struggle with is secondhand embarrassment where someone walks in and go, oh, I'm so sorry. And I'm like, oh no, it's fine. And then I'm like, I'm sorry that you feel sorry about that. That's so awkward that for you. And now I feel it. Yeah. Like it's like, you know, when you watch cringy shows, I can't do it. So it feels like that. That's what's happening in the back. What do you think about people using the urinals? Cause you know, there was a, I think our, I think our unspoken rule right now is no using the urinals. What if I walk in? I'm, I'll be fine with it. I'll just go nice ass, buddy. Hold on. I'm here to slap our ass. I'm into that's not how urinals are tused. You don't pull your pants down. Yeah, but you could if you wanted to. Nobody, that would be such a powerful. It would be butters from South Park. Yeah. I would honestly be so proud of you guys. Okay, boys. Okay. My little men, my little men. Dude, would you know how to use a urinal week? We could, we'd have to literally grip the wall. But I mean, like, like, let's say in our legs up and then grip ourselves and push ourselves. Let's say we body swapped. And you were suddenly, you were like, you're like, you're like, you're like, you're something like, I have to pee. I have to pee. Like, could you go and confidently use a urinal? Yeah. Take my take out. Be fine. Okay. You're okay. That sounds like she nailed that. How would you do nailed that? Would you take it out through the boxers or over the pants? This is my hill. I'm dying on. So do you know how, I mean, I, you know, I know. We do mean on these ads all the time. Yeah. Yeah. I, when you take me penis out, I would probably take it, I would put the meat on these ad in this right here. Okay. Okay. Aren't there a lot of boxers? Oh no. I would go through the boxers. You'd probably pull the balls out to you. You don't know what you're doing. I would pull. You wouldn't know that. I would pull the pants all the way down to the ankles. Yeah. And I would untie my boxers just over the butt, just a little bit, just to show like the butt. And then I would pull everything out of the front. I believe that. Like, because I don't want to get it messy. My issue still is just that I'm like, regardless of the urinal stuff and everything. I'm just saying, I'm scared. Shane wants to try this. I like single-use bathrooms or do. Give me a single-use bathroom. My favorite bathrooms of all time are the non-gendered bathrooms that have all the just like toilet stalls that are just really, really nice and like sealed. I agree with you. Those are my favorite ones. I do not mind everyone going into one bathroom. I think that's absolutely fine. Just make the doors really solid. Oh, wash my hands next to anyone. Oh, yeah. But shitting, I need to be locked away. So you don't want to wash your hands after your shit, because you think people know what? I wash your hands after. Yeah, we're gonna really see who's not washing their hands after they pee. Well, I guess we won't. Well, no, people are definitely going to be washing their hands. Oh, my God. You know what's cool? We get to share our guests, the new space. It's really, really cool. Yeah. And also to reiterate, we're out of million. We are out of million. I just think that that is so, so cool. And if you are just listening, we have new mugs and they are cute as hell. It's a sunset. Yeah, sunset. And here's the fun thing. After all we've talked about today, we're going to lose definitely 100,000 subscribers. Let go of the mic. Would you guys, would you guys still have me on? If like every time I was on, it was like guaranteed you would lose 1000 subscribe. - No, we would kick you out. - No, because Celia's the boss. - Like, I'm just like-- - It's guaranteed we're gonna lose 1,000 subscribers. - Yes. - But is that accounting for that?

Well, I think like my coffee table would be good. - I might be put my feet up on it. - Ooh, we put our feet up. - Yeah, I think having a coffee table wouldn't help us. - Like, what if I had-- - You have the stickers on there. - What if the guest is barefoot the entire episode? - How did you know? - I just was like, these probably have stickers on them. - I just-- - You have it on the other shoe. - I've had a shoe that like I had the stickers on the bottom for like a year. - That's a good, that's a good shoe did. - I just didn't realize. - If you guys are watching, let us know what you guys think of the new studio and if you have any questions and we'll let you know if we have any ghost sightings. - Probably not, not yet. - We're scary painting. What if you guys surprised me with like a scary painting back there? - I didn't know that you didn't like scary paintings. That's like new. - We're gonna put a bunch of-- - We're gonna fucking scare you, dude. - We're gonna scare you so bad. - Yeah, thank you. - Yeah. - Well. - Go to that. - All right. - Okay. - Well, thank you Spencer. - Thank you. You can find me on some-- - We can find you in the bathroom. - Oh yeah, you can find me doing-- - You can find me in my bathroom. - On Smosh Games, we got some new games videos coming out, which I'm very excited.

'Cause you love Star Wars. - I do love Star Wars. - It was like a half an half, but also it had a really good deal at the place. - They're like, but you have to wear the Princess Leia ear buns. - We just liked five, four, two, three, but also I love Star Wars. - So, what's your name? - And your son's full name is Colby One Kenobi. - She's like, I realized watching my-- (laughing) - We have ruined six cents and Colby One Kenobi. - Colby One Kenobi is not what you said. - It said Colby One Kenobi. - I said Colby. - Colby One Kenobi. (laughing) - Colby One Kenobi. - We need to go. - All right. - Zoom out, get out of here. We need to go, okay? And also, tell me if you guys like the basketball pillow. - Yeah, let us know. - All right. - You start dribbling it perfectly. (laughing) - Aww. - Oh, you're doing a pretty good job, pass.
