Smoshmouth hosts a lighthearted dinner with Angela, where the group explores food, wine, and personal memories through humor and genuine conversation. The episode begins with a fun dessert ranking game, where the team passionately debates preferences—favoring cake, ice cream, or cookies—revealing how subjective taste is. The discussion shifts to wine, with Angela sharing her deep appreciation for the complexity and cultural significance of wine, especially when shared among friends. She emphasizes that quality and terroir matter more than price, and that affordable wines can be exceptional. The group learns that wine tasting is not just about flavor but also about connection and storytelling. A key moment is when they taste a $36 Sincere white wine, which is described as clean, complex, and surprisingly enjoyable. The conversation expands to memories of childhood meals, such as Cuban food in Key West or a special dinner with her mother in the Virgin Islands, illustrating how food connects to emotional experiences. The episode also touches on daily routines, favorite times of day, and TV habits, showing how personal rituals shape well-being. Amid all this, the team shares laughs over mishaps like broken corks and questionable food choices, reinforcing the idea that joy lies in shared experiences, not perfection. The episode concludes with a playful nod to future content, such as a mock "arc light" theater event, blending nostalgia with humor. Overall, it’s a warm, reflective, and entertaining celebration of food, taste, and human connection.
Hello, welcome to Smoshmouth. I'm Shane and I'm Amanda and we have a wonderful guest for this tonight. It is Angela. Hey Angela. How are you? Hey Angela. Doing well. Thank you for inviting me to this wine bar. Yeah. We're calling this dinner with Angela. The lights are still regular normal lights, but it feels like they're dimmed. Am I right? Yeah, we probably I guess we could have talked about dimming lights. Can I tell you something about Shane though in our news face? He cannot stop grinning around the mic. There's a there's actually a thing. Hey, but I think it makes hold it. It's standing up on its own. It makes him feel safe. It makes him feel good. I got the slack that said we want to do dinner with Ange and I went they really can program whatever the fuck they want. That's right. Dinner with Ange. Nobody at Smosh watches Smosh. And you know what for that? I'm grateful. Because we're doing dinner with Ange. This is the first time. Well, sorry. Second time that we had a little bite on Smosh. The first time it was a candy bowl. And again, I will keep apologizing for it because fans did not like I believe for one episode. I'm so sorry. It was my fault. I brought it out. Yeah. It was so funny. No, but it didn't all of it. Look, that episode gave us out about the chart. I don't think she would have said that without that lollipop. That is my chart. Truly the funniest shit ever. And I mean, chance just talk it. Chance just like really openly talking about his church, just being awful. Oh my God. Naming names. It was probably the darkest topic that we've ever covered on Smosh. And you guys are laughing your asses off. And that's how you deal with trauma. Oh, come on. Come on. Come on. How else you deal with trauma? A. A. Oh, and we're at dinner. So, okay. Can I say? Yeah, explain this. Where, where a little bit of this idea came from was that we were at dinner a few months ago. It was you us three Tommy Courtney, Anthony, Ian, Ali, Kiana, I think was a cast dinner. It was like a cast summer, some of the cast. We're hanging out having great time. And I'd say after like maybe the hour, hour and a half mark where you're kind of like you've been talking for a while. You were like very relaxed. You're very much chilling. You're in the booth. And you at one point, you're so like you, you've melted into the couch at one point. You're just chilling there. And you just go, okay, everybody, okay. So cake, cookie, which I've done on here too. Brownie ice cream, pastry. And I actually didn't hear that because chance and I were so deep in a conversation. He goes, whatever they're starting over there, I don't want to do it. And I was like, Oh, what's even happening? I don't even know what's, I didn't know what was happening until you went, if you were a chip, what chip would you be? Yeah. And you know what? You can take the girl out of the youth group, but you can't take the youth group out of the girl. And kill me if I like a nice breaker, especially the bigger our cast is, the more people that are at dinner, the longer the table. And then I don't get to talk to people on the end. I'm so bad at it. I love that. I love ranking things. I love ranking, especially like, like stupid innocuous things like foods, right? Because it's something to think about of like what if I had to, what was your rank? So, so, so mine easy number one is ice cream. And here's the, with this version of this game, you have to be general. You can't be specific. Yeah, I liked, I was like, I never thought of just like categories of desserts. And I'm like, yeah, it's tough, like cake as a, as a whole grouping. Yeah. That's a lot of stuff. But picture me, martini, just like fuck you. That's this. Okay, go, go through your list. So I think it's ice cream. I think after that, you see, it's so tough. I would maybe go cookie. I'll go for you right now. Okay, ice. Okay, you're going to, you're going to go through all of it. Yeah, I'm going to do it. Alright, do it. Cake. Brownie. Right. Cookie. Ice cream. Pie. By the way, this is descending order. So cake is your number one. So that order is. And then I'll end on like, you said pastry. Yeah, I'm trying to be in that category. No, no, pastry, because yeah, I don't want to do like different. Yeah, but I think cake is the cake to brownie to cookie. So that's so funny. What's yours ice cream? Ice cream cookie. I guess at that stage, I would maybe put cake, but you like pie, no? I'd like pie, but I don't have pie as often. I would maybe put pie after that. Actually, no, I'll put pie above cake cookie. Cookie is number two. Oh, cookies. That's crazy. It's ice cream cookie. Maybe I'm trying, I'm trying to think more like brownie, but brownies just feels like the, there's not enough variety. Blondies. Blondies. Brownies. Other things that are brownies. Jason. But like a standard classic brownie. So good. Yeah. But it's only the one thing where it's cake. So many types of cake. But there are some types of brownies that are different. Listen, to me cake is definitely number one. And pie is definitely number two. Can I, can I, can I, can I, cake pie? Cookies can suck it. I don't even want them on that list. Oh, fuck you. No, fuck you. Cookies are so good. No, fuck you. Oh, you know, like pie brownies, mommy and dad are fighting. We need to do this. We're not married. Oh, it's fine. I do this one. Jayne and Courtney fight. Yeah. What's happening here? Cake, pie, brownie, ice cream, cookies. But again, cookies literally can suck it. I actually don't want them on this list. I don't like cookies unless it's a molasses or a ginger snap. Oh, yeah, sue me. Okay. Yeah, you're absolutely ridiculous. Can I just candy? Where does candy go? Candy, candy, candy, candy is different. Candy's different thing. Yeah, candy, candy is different. That's a different category. Candy's in my car. Can I say what my reasoning is between ice cream and cake? So I think they're polar opposites. Cake, I think, I think the floor is like endless. Cake can be so bad. Yeah. It can taste like garbage. Cookie, too. Yeah. Of course. But not as bad. Cake, I think it's like it's hard. Like it can be bad. Whereas ice cream, the floor is so high. Now there's no real good ceiling for ice cream. Ice cream is pretty like locked into where it is. It's not like you can go like, oh, we're at this super nice ice cream place where the ice cream is better than all the ice cream. Yeah, I guess like you a lot of different. Yeah. But cake, it's like you can get a really, really nice cake and it is going to be way better. But a lot of cakes, you're like, ah, this is okay. Do you guys mess with grocery store cakes? They're good. Yeah. I think they end up drunk. I am delicious. But they're just not as satisfying as like a good, like some good ass ice cream. Oh my God. No, there are some really good ass ice cream. But I think I'm just a different kind of dessert girl. Like I don't love your typical ice cream. See, because I was going to say, are you like a sherbert girl? No, 0% I don't hate sherbers. I don't hate it. But it's just not what I'm going to pick. I like like Earl Grey, Rose, Lavender, Ube, Vicky Rose, Mint Chip. I like Mint Chip. Mint Chip's a maze. Mint Chip. Okay, but wait. So you said you said we were doing dinner. We were doing dinner time. Yeah. And what do you need with dinner? And I kind of had to beg. Yes, yes, you did. Because I hear the thing. I feel like rarely do actually know a lot of our interests intersect a lot. But when you told me earlier this year that you were getting in wines, it made me so excited. So excited. I love wine. You love wine. And then I got so excited that you could drink wine again. Now that you're not pregnant. And I was like, can I please bring a bottle? Hell yeah. She fought tooth and nail. And now we have a bottle. And she was like, okay, what should we bring? Whatever. And she was definitely going to bring white. And I was like, well, Shane's getting really into sense there right now. I love sense there. So she picks this out. I went up to the shakus woman I could find in this wine store and I said, what's the best show Bob short bob lenses thick as the thick lenses overalls, but they were so cute. Yeah. And I was like there flats that weren't even flats. Oh, yeah, there are ballet flats like real ballet flats that you could go. She's just dancing around. So this is the sincere we're working with today. Wow. I couldn't figure out if it's Italian. It's a French. It's French. It's French. Sincere is French. Sincere is French. Sincere is French. Sincere is like there's a combo of French style. I think it's a mixture of Sauvignon, Blanc and Grinache grapes. Yeah. It's just Sauvignon Blanc. Oh, great. It's just a fun. I don't know a ton still like when I go and and and talk to like a person who knows wine about it. I love hearing them explain it. There's there's just endless depth to it. But I still don't know much. I love though when I'm. You're going to learn a lot about a person how they open a wine. This is true. And I'm really. I'm really just doing okay job. No, I'm sitting back. I'm going to be impatient. I'm going because you you worked in service industry for so long. You were open. And let me tell you I did not enjoy opening bottles at tables. How many bottles of wine do you think you've opened over the course of your life? Not a lot because I I did not like working at fancy places. So H has opened so many bottles of wine. I I would prefer wearing Jean shorts a t-shirt and pouring beer. You were doing beer taps for a long time. That would be my spot or like make even a twist offs or you know, like I even like I remember I had an X that would pour from down here. Oh yeah, because that's what you're supposed to do. Really? And then you turn it so it doesn't drip on the side. And you go like, huh. And you go, wait, let's do like this. Not lose any of that sweetness. So guys, I will say new studio first time ever having any alcohol on Smoshmoth on Smoshmoth first time. This is so fun. Because when you guys had your fake martinis. You know, you had that.
Straight vodka. That was okay. So this isn't the first time I'm getting that was soda. Okay. So that was it's else Yes, all right. We are getting there come on now Good work the worst thing that's ever happened is when you break the cork at the table. It's all wrong Oh, and it's happened. We can I give you guys this cork. Oh, yeah, it was a safe cork We should we should Ali told me she saved the cork for the the champagne. We pop. Oh my God. Where should we put it? So one for your side, we're talking about one for you and one for you one for me Angelette's so sweet that you broke it in half. It's not in half. That's just the bottom She left the little booty butt left in the wine bottle. The little, but it's left in there And if she if she puts it in there, it's a day. He's ruined. No, it's fine. It's okay Good job, so okay, everything's okay I'll get the side. This is like the turkey bone at at Thanksgiving Oh, you pick first my side this side Yep, oh, we knew that I'm the tall bitch and you're the butt. Okay, I'm just kidding. All right. I got the little guy Oh my god, we probably we could probably seal them back together. Let me see yours. Oh damn You really can do whatever you want my mind just blocking me. Okay, and we should put it We can fix it. We can fix it. We can fix it. Look at that. We could fix that. Oh my god. We'll frame it We'll frame it. We'll have a broken apart like there Okay, now pour it the way you're supposed to pour it. So is white wine supposed to be aerated? No red wine I've heard that well. Yeah, I think it's red wines typically now the guy at the wine shop He he told me at one point. He's like he's like he's like look I can decant everything He's like I think everything tastes better. Wow, he's like he's like he's like I'm crazy, but he's like your finger Campaign in the the butt. So you put your finger into the bottle. I'm dead serious.

Okay, try to see if you can taste final We're tasting vanilla. I'm not. Oh, I guess a little bit. I taste pear.

They just don't make them like they used to yeah, it might be like where we live in L.A I feel like it's on L.A Okay, so yeah, okay, so wait. Let's see what's your oh price of the bottle price of the bottle all right Amanda do you have a guess on the price of the bottle? Well, it's tough because now that I'm eating food that tastes just gonna change Let me guess it now. He's like apricots. I love them Apricots apricot my friend who's into wine It's apricot. It's apricot. What do you call it? Oh? Which friend do you choose right now fuck? I probably go back and forth. I think I say oh black Let me just try to go off. I like an ape I changed it completely. I think I think apricots are what I grew up saying apricot apricot but it's probably wrong. It's like pecan pecan Mmm, coupon coupon coupon coupon coupon. Okay Okay, I think it's a really nice bottle. It has a very nice clean finish. I Think this is a I'm in heaven over here y'all. This is heaven. So this is 17 to 25. So I think it's a $21 bottle or 22 That's my guess for this $21 in the courts in it my my guess my guess. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. I think it's 27. Sorry Number that popped into my head for some reason. I'm just sticking my intuition is 28.99 Mine's 27 and Maybe I was upcharged How much was it? I went and I'm by the way, I'm just throwing out a number of just like what Wait a second. Wait a second since Sarah's actually a really nice grape. Okay, we're being dumbasses. Let's let's think this through I don't know anything about I Honestly, 35 let's having a glass of wine with a cheese plate. It's like taking the cheetah out of a cage This is our last video of the day. We are chillin. This is the last last video of a shoot week. Yeah, uh So that we're yeah, we're like in the 20, like 28 it's a great dress Grants, but but it's in the 30s. Um, yeah, but I want to clear I don't normally get bottles like this I usually always 20 or under. Oh, I thought it was maybe 21 because I was like I feel like I'm similar I feel like 20 or under I went to a shop because I was like, oh, we're only gonna have one glass Because I was like and I know we're gonna want to taste it really deeply and like so I was like, what's your best sense there? And this was $36. Wow, okay, so my second guess was 35 now have another sip and tell me if it tastes better Let me see. Okay. Do you taste the vanilla now? I don't think price matters to me. Oh Yeah, very complex which makes it like $10 more. I think I think expensive wine When I'm told it's expensive I'm like acting like it's better right like the placebo of it all I almost think it it has a Reverse effect on me where I'm like, okay, I know it's gonna be wasted on me because I can't taste it And so all I kind of think about is how I'm like it tastes kind of the same Uh-huh. I have a friend. I have a friend who's really into wine and she does a lot of wine stuff on her Instagram And I was like at what stage is the like What what is it? It's like you get less returns the more you put into it What's it called diminishing returns? Yes, and I was like at what's at what price point is the diminishing returns going to start to be let where I'm like I'm not going to taste the difference because I know yeah, and I was talking to this guy and like there was a moment where like You know like for Courtney and his anniversary. I was like oh, I want to buy a really nice bottle Yeah, and he was like okay, so he's like this about as nice as it gets before you get into like territory where it's like it then jumps So much and he's like yeah, so this is like you know 50 to 80 dollars and then it's like whoa you go from there And it's like a thousand dollar points, and I was like would I taste the difference between a thousand dollar wine and a fifty dollar bottle and he's like Probably not well not with our pals right? Yeah, well, but but I'm also like at a certain point But my friend was like she was saying like $20 is where like you will taste the difference between like you get like cheap Yeah, cheap wine, especially white wine up to like a 20 to 30 dollar bottle That's a big difference and beyond that the difference is going to be more about like if you are really into it Yeah, not only will you taste the difference, but for me you can tell when a bottle is really really good based off of a how it
taste how the cork is and how you feel the next day. - Oh, the cheap wine, you do not feel good the next day. - Especially with the white wines there, I do notice it's when they're really sweet, I'm sick the next day. - I really can't even drink really sweet. - My friends did a party where we all brought a bottle like we picked, like they had done it multiple times and that night it was peanut and a whore. And everyone brings a bottle of peanut and a whore and it can be any price point. And then we put it in a brown bag and there's a bunch of them and they all have a number on it. And then somebody who wasn't playing got to see the prices and we had to try to rank up. - Oh, fun. - And you would sip each one and try it and it was, and that's why this was kind of hard 'cause you don't have anything to base it off of 'cause we could only have one glass, but like it was crazy to taste them next to each other and you think the richer ones cost them most, but that's not true. - They actually don't. - Sometimes the cleanest wine. - The cleaner finish ones are actually more expensive 'cause it's harder to do the processes harder. - We were all so wrong. - And I was, yeah, and like I was really fascinated by this whole like hierarchy of wines and I was talking to like a guy at a wine shop and he was like, yes, this is like the most expensive because it's Grand Cru. He's like, and this is like what these French vineyards try to get into, but he's like, in order to be established as Grand Cru, it takes like a hundred years of being consistently at the top of these lists. And then after that, it's like a 50 year wait list. He's like, so, there are tons of wines that are of this caliber or greater. They're just, they just need to another hundred years to get the title and then-- - That's like even bad teachers are 10-yeared. - In your school. - Wow, exactly the same. - Did you guys ever have teachers that were like, these teachers are bad, but they can't get fired? - All my teachers, I didn't learn a thing in history. All he cared about was stealing everyone's bagels in the morning. - How much, how much bullshit, just in general is like that. You see it with a lot with fashion. - It's just around, yeah. - Where it's like, oh, the name gets stamped on and so therefore it's better, but it's like, I don't know, I think it's so important to like cultivate. If you cultivate taste and a thing, you actually save yourself a lot of money. - Yeah. - I feel that, I compare that with like style. Like the more I've learned about style, the more I'm like, oh, I don't have to spend money. Like, I can go to thrift stores and now because I know my style more. - What? - I can look like I'm wearing something expensive because I have learned enough. I feel like with wine, I've loved that when I've gone to some wine shops, like they're not recommending me expensive stuff. They're like, no, this is really good. - Yeah. - Funny. - And they're like, this is $15 and it is, he's like, these are the grapes that they use in these fancy things. This is just their side project. So it's the same quality and I'm like, that's so awesome. - I know, it's like, if you would go off the fancy route, I think you're gonna be misguided because there's so much amazing wine out there. And it really depends on the environment, the soil, I get so nerdy and obsessed with the terroir, the environment, the year, the vines. And how California bought all these vines from France and Italy and all these, oh yeah, all these things that have happened and sometimes there's a blight and things get rotten and all everything is environmental. It's all science. And sometimes they have amazing years. I just like kinda geek out about that. And then, to me, and I know Angela feels the same way, I grew up in a family of wine people. My papa had a wine seller, a massive wine seller in his place, like tons of Portuguese wine. And when he died, he had like all these amazing, old, old vintage wines that were worth whatever, so much money and my family decided, fuck it, we're gonna drink it. - Hell yeah. - Because that's what he would have wanted. - Wow. - He had a lot of port wine, like to him wine was more than just like-- - It's a time shared. - It's a time shared. It's breaking bread and I know you feel the same way. And it's like, I feel the same way now. Like, my favorite thing to do is have someone bring different wine and we all try it together and we all just like talk about it. It's less about, like, I'm not, like, it's just fun to talk about what it tastes like because you're not doing that. I guess people do that with like soda or whatever. But it feels like, I don't know, it feels like you're doing something cultural. I don't know. - Yeah, I do agree because wine is, if we're going back to like ranking things, still as far as just beverages in general go, it's still not high up for me. But I will say compared to like beer and like cocktails and then just like coffee-- - Muscle milk. - Things, muscle milk, you know. - I knew it. - It is, I will say it's probably the most complex beverage. - Yeah. - Right? 'Cause like, you know, for the longest time, like I would drink beer and it's like, there's a lot of differences, but at a certain point, it's like, yeah, an IPA is gonna be of this general range of taste, but like wine, when I've tried it, I'm like, wow, it's kind of different every time. - Yeah, it's funny. - It's really fascinating. - I kind of got, when I worked at that beer bar, I got obsessed with beer. - Yeah. - And then I learned like, whoa! - And there is, there is an endless amount. I'm not saying that it's not. - The wine is, wine feels a little bit, I don't even want to say universal, but like, wine is a different language completely. - It's just different. And people nerd out on different versions. - I just love like the more I, I love like learning about new things. And like, this was me with coffee like a few years ago. - Oh wow. - Like, 'cause Ian was really into coffee and a few other people at Smosh were really into coffee. And I started getting into it and like buying my own beans and like, you know, making it myself at home. And I started being like, wow, it is so different. And the way I make it is different. Like, I had this bag recently and I was like, this coffee tastes like shit. And then I was like kind of looking up. I was like, what am I doing wrong? Or are these beans, are they, do they suck? And I was like, oh, if I lower the degrees on the temperature of the water by like six degrees, it'll change it. And then it was amazing. - Shut up. - And I was like, wow, that's all that took. And I was like, this is so cool. - It's so interesting. - I love that shit. - It's so fascinating. - Okay. - And I think talking to people like Josh, Mythical Chef Josh, about food and watching documentaries on food and stuff, it just changes my perspective on these things. And I'm not a big like, I don't understand food and wine that well, but the more I learn about it, the more I'm more fascinated by that, than actually if it tastes good or not. - Is it the story or like what's behind it? - No, that's the shit. - This episode of Smoshmouth is sponsored by me, Undies. - You know, I was really thinking about how my confidence is affected by what I wear. - Yeah, you know, it's not just what you wear on the outside, but what you wear. - Okay, this is a question I always ask at every dinner. - Not always. - Let's go. - But it is a question I do ask a lot of people. Your favorite meal doesn't, like what it was. Not your last meal, like what your, you remember a restaurant or a moment you broke bread with someone? And it was like, it could be like a talk. - More of the moat or is it moat more of the food itself? - The food was, it was like your best. - I know it. - And it might be both, 'cause mine is like when I was 16, I went to Italy for the first time in all my cousins and all my family, we all had pasta on some lady's rooftop that this old lady. And it was like some frickin weird, we were there for like a couple days and that was it. And it was like, I think it was the time shared, but it was also the first time I had like, really good homemade pasta. - Whoa. - And I remember just being like, I'll never forget this meal. - Cool. - I have a couple, but I think I'm just gonna share one 'cause it's, it sticks out on my head. It was, my mom and I, it was just a trip, just her and I. And it was right after I graduated college and we went, her and I went to the Virgin Islands to scuba dive, which is like unbelievable. - Just you too. - So lucky, just us two. Mommy daughter time. And she found this like really cool, like humble abode, like solar paneled, this artist, 'cause my mom also loves to paint. So it was like this watercolor artist and in the Virgin Islands, when I went, there would be guys with coolers with fresh fish that they just caught selling them on the street. And it was a massive, gorgeous swordfish. And this woman, part of your first welcome night, is you do a watercolor painting lesson and her, her home was like in the mountains overlooking the ocean. It was insane. - Oh my god. - It was so cool and it was just my mom and I. And we did a water calling. Mine looked awful. Hers looked great. And this woman grilled us this fresh fish with just lemons and asparagus, salt and pepper and a little bit of wine and we sat there. And you know, I was like just out of college. So mom and I are like still creating our relationship. Like we were good, but it was like, there's no TV, it was solar panel. So it was just like, that was our night. And it was the best fish I've ever had in my life. - Oh my god. - It was like fresh and buttery and you were looking, you wanted to cry, it was so good. Like you just felt so great for the bee. - And with your mom like that, when you're like getting older. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - That's so special. - Yeah, it was really, it was really, really cool. - That's pretty sick. - It was years like a muslimilk tower bell. - Yeah, the one was a power bar and I put it in the muslimilk and shook it out. - And I walked it down with a martini. - Then I had some creatine to that. Oh good. You know what, we really came to my mind. I don't think this is the number one, but it just came to my mind. And it's a memory that is like a core memory. And I was really young. I had to have been like 11 or maybe even younger, but I was in Key West. And I was with my dad, my grandpa. And then I think they had a friend of theirs. And you know, we would go to fish and lobster dive and stuff in Key West. And it was like, wasn't really a vacation 'cause we would stay on the military base 'cause that was cheaper. And so we weren't in like a hotel. We were in like a military base where you're basically in this like condo. Like that's like cement walls and just kind of like my dad and grandpa would just watch tennis and golf all day when we weren't fishing. And so I was just like sitting around. I would bring like, I remember being really creative in that time 'cause I would just bring like yellow notepads and just have my Game Boy advance. And I would just be like,
we doing my own thing, but we went to dinner one night and we went to a Cuban restaurant. - I love Cuban food. - And this is in Key West. This is 90 miles away from Cuba. And this food was so damn good. I remember I think there was, I might be getting it wrong, but this is in my memory from a child. I know there was a stake of some sort. It was like a very flat-- - Yes, they always had that, my family was in Miami. I always get Cuban food and there was a very thin stake. - Yeah, and then there was, I think it was plantains. - Yes. - And something else, and I just remember being like, oh my God, and I've not had anything in that genre since, and I just remember thinking about it. Like I've had, but I just, something about that one really got me, you know, I've been very lucky to get to go to a lot of places and try different things. Like I remember when I got to go to New Orleans, I was shooting an indie film there once and going to Cafe, is it Cafe Dumaan? What's the, yes, Cafe Dumaan and getting the-- - Was it Vignets or whatever? - Yeah, and I get handed a bag that is just filled to the brim with powdered sugar and you dig through the powdered sugar - And get a thing out of it? - To get the Vignet, and I just remember being like, this is crazy and eating it while there's a jazz band just playing on the street and just being like, where am I? - I'll be really lame and say, I think the first Bucke de Pepeau Smosh dinner I had. It was one of my, like I love eating Italian processed food. It makes me feel like home, and that with like, I had never experienced what you guys were saying, like the VidCon, like where everyone drives up and we all eat. - Yeah, you know, like once again been very lucky to eat at a lot of nice restaurants, but it's sometimes like those childhood memories of like-- - Yeah, sometimes it's like the food doesn't even have to be that good. - There's a reason why when I did last meals, I was like, you gotta make me those OG chicken crispers from Chili's 'cause that was like, that was a special thing for me. I love those. - Oh, my favorite from Chili's was the molten chocolate cake. - Oh, that's crazy. - Oh, every time we really have to order it. We were gonna order one now, like just a scene. - Before we would order our dinner, just to make sure it would come. - No way. - Just make sure it's on to what? - We were crazy. - That's so crazy. - Oh my god. - Some, for some reason too, a memory that comes to mind is in Key West was the first time I ever tried Flon. - Oh. - And I feel like Flon gets shit talked about. - Wow. - Like it gets shit talked. - It should end. - I was obsessed. I was like, this texture is brand new. And I love Flon. And I remember at one point in the pandemic, I made Flon. And I actually kind of nailed it. - How is that? - It's hard as fuck 'cause it's like three ingredients. It's actually ingredients wise, it's nothing. - But the process is crazy. Like you just got to kind of nail it. And I messed up a little bit on the glaze, but overall the-- - It's like a mold, right? - Yeah. - Yeah, so you have like a little like porcelain tins and you have to make this mixture. And then you have to put water on a pan and put these like things on top of that and then put-- - What's the worst thing you've ever cooked or baked? - Oh, I tried to make a ragu once and it completely failed. - How did it fail? - I just, I took a bite and I was like, this is just nothing, I tossed it. - I made a peach cobbler once and my family makes me fun of me about all the time. And I swear to this day, I swear to God. It said, don't drain the juice from the can of peaches. - Oh, oh, oh. - What do you want? - Soup. - Oh. - Yeah, that's tough. - Yeah, chef. - I don't know if I made something that I gave to my family. I definitely, when I was fucking around with culture, my own culture for bread. I like the culture went bad or something and I made a bread and H was like, wow, this bread is like bread. (laughing) He was like, it kicks you in the mouth and it didn't rise at all. It was like flat like this. And I was like, something's wrong with this bread. And then I was like, oh my God, the culture. - Culture was bad. It's interesting to like, never without the bad bread. - Oh yeah. - There's bad bread. - Just kind of. - Well, you wouldn't sell it, you wouldn't get it. - Yeah, you're right, you're right. - I have made bread for myself a few times. - Well. - Making fresh bread and having it straight out the oven. That's, there's nothing like that. - My favorite thing. - It's very cool. But it wasn't sourdough, I just made whatever. Okay, I have a question. I thought about this. When I was thinking about this episode, I was like, here's my Angela question. What is, in your opinion, like overall, throughout the course of the entire year, the best hour of the day? And you got to incorporate like, technically just as an average across like, yes. I know some hours on weekends are better, but through and through, what hour best? - Every day. - I just out of most days, this is the hour, right? You got to count for holidays. You got to count for everything. Work days and on work days. - I might go 4 p.m. - Whoa. - I always crash at two from two to three, or like one to three, I'm always in a bad mood. I'm a morning and night person. The afternoons are never good, and four is always when I like start to feel like. - You get a second wind. - Yeah. - And you announce it to everyone. - Because she naps. - And I naps. - She's a napper. - And I also just think every afternoon, I just kind of like slump, and I probably don't have a good diet where my lunch always makes me feel like, "Ahhh." And I wake up too early and I sleep too late, and I would stay up too late. But then like the afternoon, I don't know like the sun goes down, and I think I also think I associated with like, "Okay, show time." - Yeah, 'cause you're such a-- - Yeah, like four o'clock was always like the time for circuit shows, we'd all get to the theater, and you're like, "Hi, how are you?" And it's just like, that's cool. - And I love a coffee at four. I love like a, maybe like on a weekend, like a happy hour, like five. - She's a siesta lady. - 'Cause you're not a siesta girl. - You're not a morning person. - No, I am. I'm a morning and night. I like to wake up in the morning. - That's what she has to nap. - And that's why the afternoons I'm really angry. - Oh, interesting. - Do not book in. Remember the first time, but I just remember the like, first few times I witnessed you in like, yeah, like three, four p.m., where it was just like, "Uh-oh, second wind." And I'm not a second wind person. I'm a gradual like, that's how my day goes. - The first and second video of the shoot day and the last. The ones in the middle. - They are tough. - Those are the ones I'm saying shit that I-- - I do well at the end cut. - I do well at the end. It's not that I get a burst of energy. It's that like mentally I go, okay, I get to go all out now. - And that might be why I like 4 p.m. 'cause I'm like, we're about to close it out. - I guess that's true. - I kind of like, I will say, I kind of like 4 p.m. for shoot days 'cause it's like, that's the last video. I do kind of get a second wind. That's also happy hour time. Your day's winding down. But I actually think my favorite time and this is gonna sound messed up. - You both love 7 a.m. I'm guessing. - And that's my favorite time. - I have some different pitches. - Do you know why 7 a.m. is my favorite times? 'Cause it calls up at 6. We start his feeding at 6.30, which is actually so fun now because he does solids and he's picking up food and we get to feed him new food. - So sincere. - And he gets to enjoy a little bit of wine. - A little bit of wine, you know. - And he goes, this bottle's 36 o'clock. - Some muscle milk. - He's like 36, mom. And then, but 7 a.m. is like right before I'm gonna work out. He's still awake, he's happy, he's fed. And that's when I get to make my coffee. 7 a.m. is make my coffee and then the day is mine. And that hour really sets up my whole day. And I get to like chill. I don't have to do anything yet 'cause he's still awake. So it's me and him time. It's like that's mommy and baby time. - Before you had him, did you like 7 a.m.? - No. - No, no, no, no. - No, it was your favorite time back then. - Probably, I still love the morning. Probably after I worked out like 10. - Yeah. - Like at 10 a.m. - 10 a.m. is like what I thought. - I was gonna pitch 11 a.m. As just generally, like that's the time that no matter if you're a morning or night person, whatever, everyone's kinda up at 11 a.m. - You're kinda cooking with gas. - And everybody's kinda like up. It's such a, it's bright, but it's not hot yet. - Ooh, and it's almost lunch time. - It's kinda like an in between. I feel like everybody's got energy at that time. - 11 a.m. is a goaded time to be alive. - It really is good. - It's a good time. - It's a good time. I feel like it's hard to find someone who's like, I hate 11 a.m. - One or two socks. - That's what I can say. - It depends on where you're at, what the day is, but like, if you're going to Disneyland, 11 a.m. is great. - Oh god. - Right, great time. - It's hard for a 11 a.m. to be bad. But I was also gonna say like, you got like 7 p.m. As like, that's always a great time 'cause it's usually like the best time of the night. Like, I know that midnight can be crazy and fun. Midnight can also be really bad. - Oh yeah, now. - Midnight, ceiling and floor, endless. - The older I get, 7 p.m. is the better. The 7 p.m. is just always kind of solid. Like, the night's kind of young. - 7 p.m. is nice. - I do absolutely love like 6.30 a.m. - 'Cause I've heard you say you're like waking up early 'cause like, earned time. - You accept like, 5. - Yeah, I used to. I've been trying to sleep more. Like, when I wake up and I'm like, I could sleep more, I'm trying to do that. - That's good. - It's hard. - Is it making your guessing better? - We'll see. - His guessing was already so good, Angela. - I don't think it's anything to do with it. - We're gonna make it better. - But no, I was someone who wasn't prioritizing my sleep over like, if I woke up like at 5, I'd be like, oh, I can get up and like have fun. Like, read or like play video games right now. Or watch 'em, I could watch a movie. - Whoa, a morning movie. - I've done that so many times. - When I was in theater school, that we were taking like a couple film classes and you had to watch movies. And me and my friends would be like, okay, we're just gonna wake up at 4 a.m. We're gonna watch movies. We're gonna watch 5 a.m. And we would watch it and then go to class it.
- I think I'm a little bit too hard on myself. For me, if you watch a movie in the day, like, year of a bad girl. - Whoa. - That's not a girl. - Release yourself of that. - Whoa. - Really do. - So good. - 'Cause my little sister loves putting, she's like, let's watch a movie at 11 a.m. I'm like, what? Whoa, you know what I did? - It is weird. - I do a lot of mornings and I did it this morning too. Sometimes I'll wake up really early at like five and I don't have a reason to get up. I don't have a child. And I'm like, I have to go to bed. Like, I'm like, I'm up and I'm like, okay, don't need to start moving 'til 7.30. And then I like put a, like a piece of TV on like, really light, like really quietly. And I like kind of watch it and go back to sleep for like an hour and a half. And then I'm like, I watched an episode of West Wing this morning at five a.m. - Oh, okay. - I go at my attention. - It's rewatched all of West Wing recently. All of it. - You know it's my favorite shot. I love it. - I love it. - I love West Wing. - I've never watched an episode. - Oh, it's-- - Aaron Sorkin. - I know. - And right now with our current government, it's like watching like fairy tales 'cause it's like people who really believe in doing good. - Yeah. - And it's a little much. But then you're like, wow. - Yeah, I've never watched that. I watched all of Newsroom though. Love Newsroom too. - Newsroom too. - Newsroom's very good. Also, Aaron Sorkin. - Newsroom sometimes I'm like, Aaron. - It's a lot. - It's a lot. - And West Wing, he's on ice. - He's on ice, like he's doing well. - But no, watching shit in the morning is awesome. I love that. - Yeah, me too. - And I have to, 'cause there's some things that like Courtney will not watch, right? Like the pit, too gory for her. So like, if I wake up at like 6 a.m, I'm like, I'll watch the pit. - Whoa. - 6 a.m. Pit. - So you're like on a nurse's schedule. - Yeah, and that works for the pit. - No, my rule for the pit is I have to watch it at whatever hour the show is taking place. - I am waiting for all of season two to finish. - Oh, and you're gonna watch it all in one day? - Well, I was thinking that, but then I think I might just blow it when like three days. - Yeah. - Yeah, do you guys binge TV or watch it regularly? - Of course. - I don't like to binge. - At all. - 'Cause I like saving something for myself. But H loves to binge, so sometimes we'll just go nuts. - 'Cause you were bingeing breaking bad. - I was, and guess what? I haven't finished, I fell off. - What season? - I don't love the last season. I'm in the last season. I don't love the last season. - It's a little bit different, but you just gotta finish it, man. - I gotta finish it, man. - But you've watched the best part. - I don't know, I feel like shows you don't have to finish. - Well, here's a problem, here's a problem. Last season, I was like, okay, on, there is the best episode of breaking bad. And one of the best episodes of television. - In the last season, okay. - In the last season, there is an episode that is so insanely good. That is just like, damn. Oh my God. Like, just every moment is incredible. Like, your jaw just continues to drop. - Wow. - I ever seen Breaking Bad. I've never seen Mad Men. - Breaking Bad Men. - Oh yeah, Mad Men. - Mad Men. - Never seen Game of Thrones. - Game of Thrones is like one of my favorite series ever. - I have to watch it. - It's crazy because Game of Thrones, one of my favorite book series, that'll never be finished. But first, I think the first three seasons of Game of Thrones is like TV unlike we've ever seen and probably will ever see. It changed television for good and worse. But that storyline is so cursed because the books will never be finished. And then the show, because they got offers for like a Star Wars deal. The creators just fully were like, oh, we want to get this shit done. And the final seasons are just so bad. - Oh, the final season is trash. The way you like to save stuff, the way you don't binge it is the way I will put shows on a shelf. Like season two of the pit and Game of Thrones. I remember I missed it in the beginning and then I went, great, I'll just save it for a really bad breakup. And it's always just been on the shelf. And I'm like, one day if I have to turn off for two weeks. - Game of Thrones though, it's so epic. I love it. - Here's my take on Game of Thrones. 'Cause I feel like I need to say this before I'm just saying that I think the last seasons are trash is that I judge a show by the standard it creates for itself, right? - Yeah. - I'll watch dumbass shows and I will love them. - Yeah, same. - 'Cause I'm like, yeah, they've established their reality. They've established their tone. - No, for sure. - Game of Thrones. Those first couple of seasons you'll watch it. The dialogue is crazy and it fits a like a medieval tone. So well that people were watching and going, I can't believe things were like that back then. It's a fantasy show. There's dragons, but it feels so real. The final seasons, people are talking like it's modern day. It's just that it's tone completely flopped. - And you go, that's not the man I'm married. - I was like, wait, you just, the standard is so different that I'm like, this is now two different shows. If season eight of Game of Thrones was its own show that was just put on Netflix, I'd be like, hold on, this rocks. I love this, this is fun. But it's not the same. And that's, it's so hard to watch a show change that drastically. - Yeah. - I just have a hard time with that. - I got Starbucks in the shots. - Okay, I just asked the question randomly. Do you guys watch TV while you're eating dinner? - Oh yeah. - Do you? - Oh yeah. I'll just have to see you going all the time. - I do, I was just wondering, yeah. Oh yeah, and I've been told by therapists, 'cause sometimes I go through different phases of weird relationships with food. And sometimes I've been told by therapists like it is best for me, for me, during different issues to like sit and give it attention. - I've heard that. - And mindless eating is-- - Right. - But my God. - It's so fun to watch a show with your dinner. - Oh my God. Or, okay, back in the day, my mom and I, my mom used to take me to my brother in the movie theater and she'd be like, we're getting Baja fresh before. And we'd bring these fat fucking burritos. And we'd sit and be like, and watch all of Toy Story too. I don't know. - Your family knows how to party. - Yeah. - My mom would pack food in plastic bags. They'd be like, you cannot bring that. And she was like, my daughter needs her food. - She would die. - She was like, I'm not spending a dollar more than the tickets. - I remember, would you guys do multiple movies a day? We would be like, we're here. - I know, that's a lot for me. But I respect the hell out of it. - And it was exhausting, but it was fun to just go like. - I respect the hell out of it. I remember one time I saw a movie with Damien and Matthew Scott and maybe other people and we were at an arc light. We walk in, we see a movie altogether and it was so awesome. We're walking out, we're like, that was incredible. And Matthew Scott goes, oh, there's that movie. I think I'm gonna go see that. And he truly is like, I'm gonna go watch that one now. And I remember just being like, fuck yeah. - Wow. - And I was like, I don't have the energy. I gotta go home and sleep. But I was like, that's awesome. - I really missed that arc light monologue you'd get from whoever was coming out. And they go, hey guys, all right. That felt like theater. - How many people did a character on that person? - That's so cool. - How many like improv things that you were like, there was always an arc-like character trope. - The arc light, arc light was really only in LA, right? 'Cause I'm growing up in Arizona. We only had AMCs. - So I guess what we're talking about is at arc light an employee would come out in the front of everyone. - Before Nicole Kidman was here, before any of it. And it was kind of just like, I think they were like rebranding themselves the last like five years. As like, this is an experience. - Yes. - And they'd come out and be like, hey guys, we're the arc light theater. This is a human talking to you. Here are the rules. - Yeah. And they would, like monologue to you about the rules and they did, they have like a little stick. - They would, they would, they would, they would, they would also introduce the movie. They'd be like, you're about to watch this. It's a runtime of this. It's, it's, and like. - And that was really great. I like that. - Sometimes they'd be like, you're watching this directed by this person and like, yeah, and enjoy this. - And then sometimes that would lead for like, sometimes for like press tours. They'd be like, and look who's here. And then you'd have a Brian Gosling come and go, yeah. - They would, after the movie, they would have, like things, it's, it feels like a very LA thing, but it's not been around for like, over five years now, but it was this really awesome like movie experience for movie lovers. - We should do that when somebody puts on don't win. We come into their house and go, hey guys. - It would actually, okay. You know what we're fucking kill Spencer? Is if we all plan this and we need to plan it with like Anders or something. Is it's like, we have someone else who's not in the video dressed as an arc light employee. And it's like, we're about to play don't win. It's like, are you ready? And then we start, and then before we do the intro, we have them walk in and they intro the video. They're like, hey guys, all right. So what you're about to see is don't win Mario Party. It's gonna run for about 60 minutes. It stars Amanda, Angela, Shane. - Your next marshmallow episode, if you want, I will, I will. - Do not tell Spencer. - We do not tell Spencer about it. Just let him be flabbergasted. - This is gonna be Spencer. (laughing) - I go, I was funny, it's fucked. I was funny, it's fucked. - Hey, that was funny. - I didn't know what you were doing. - Hey, I'll say it. - Yeah, sure. - I mean, it was funny. It was like, whatever. Spencer's gonna be like, hey, I'm sorry if this is too woke. That was funny. - I'll say it. - Yes, I'll say it. That was funny. - Here's my face when I say something about it. - That's my Spencer impression. My Spencer impression is getting kind of close to my Ashby impression, too. - Oh, do your Ashby? - My Ashby, it's just kind of like. - That's good. Wait, that is very Ashby. - Yeah. - It's so weird to hold a wine glass during this podcast. - Yeah, how do you feel? - We didn't just hold empty ones more often so that we get used to it. - Yeah. (laughing) - So that we pray. - And that sounds like you have a problem. - I like to hold empty wine glasses just so I can get used to it. - Just so I can get used to it. - You're watching West Wing. - I'm rewatching it as I go to sleep. - Courtney is watching, and so therefore, I'm also watching, since my one of my favorite shows, she's watching through Buffy the Vampire Slayer. She's on season four, by the way. - I've never seen Buffy. - Dude, it's so good. It's so campy, it's so fun, but she's watching season four, right? This is 1999 that season four is airing. It's the first episode, and Buffy is showing up to college. And in the middle of the first episode of season four, at one time it's the middle of the night, she's walking through the campus.
and she bumps into this guy. And we're watching it and we're both like, holy shit. And I'm like, that's Pedro Pascal. - Shut the fuck up. - It is a young Pedro Pascal, just being like an awkward college guy. And he's only in that spoiler, he's only in that episode. But it's like truly cameo from Pedro Pascal. - Whoa. - 15 years or so before he blows up. - Holy shit, that's like in the-- - It's so funny to see. - In that pride and prejudice, Carrie Mulligan's just like in the back. - Oh, and I'm always like, - Carrie Mulligan. - Yeah. No, that show is crazy to watch 'cause you got Seth Green in Buffy. You've got what's her name who's in, how I'm at your mother and everything. - Yeah. - Like Will, I was such an awesome character. - You know what was nice about Buffy? And I wish I watched it. She didn't sing. And I was thinking about it the other day. Someone was talking to me about how I sing. And I was like, you know what? I actually think if I wasn't raised around every single female representation on TV, being a singer, it was Hannah Montana, Raven. Every girl on Disney was singing. Even the girl was decaloated. Victoria Justice, I think I thought to be a cute girlie was, you had to be a singer. - Well, Buffy ended in like 2003. So it was before that. - Yeah. - But I just think like I was raised like so in this school. - High school musical. - Yeah. - Everybody was singing. - But hey, to British and Bubble, there is a musical episode of Buffy. And it's like the best episode of the show. The whole show is not a musical, but there's one episode that suddenly is just a musical. - Well, that's the best part about 90s shows is they all have one musical episode. Like how I met your mother does. - Yeah. - And Grey's Anatomy's musical episode is. - None of those are 90s shows. - What? (laughing) - Sorry, I'm a baby. - Sorry, sorry to do that to you. - You know what I mean? - Actually, Grey's Anatomy started in 2003 or something. It's just been going forever. - It just gives off 90s 'cause it's been going on. - It kind of does, yeah. - My favorite vampire show is True Blood. - You've talked about True Blood a lot. - True Blood. And we moved off to vampires and you went ahead. - True Blood, people don't get it, but True Blood is one of the funniest shows you've ever seen. It is so funny. - Alexander Skars. - Here we go. - And we're gonna list the cast. - And we're gonna do it again. - And a pattern. - Whatever we go. - I mean, honestly, whatever, man. - No. - I love how you're dead. - So a few of their guards, ex-husband. I mean, she goes down the list. - It was only a few episodes back. You were talking about how your dad loves True Blood. - Oh yeah, he was-- - Amanda, you're watching True Blood? - He told me to get, some of my favorite shows my dad told me to watch Game of Thrones and True Blood were like the main ones. - Your dad fucking rocks, man. - Oh, he just loves, I was like, dad, how are you doing? He's like, well, I finished Netflix. He finished it. - That's awesome. - No, he didn't. - That's impossible. - You know what? - Yes, he did. - You know what? I believe it. - Did he watch-- - Saturdays are IKEA and finishing Netflix. - Did he watch Exo Kitty? - No. - Probably. - Does your dad love loved it? - I bet Sharks and Robots. - You know what? My parents are weird. They don't like animation. - So he hasn't finished Netflix. - Okay, go with me on this, ready? - No, right, you guys ready for this? - I didn't watch tall girl either. - I didn't have a tall girl. - Blue or blue eyed samurai. - You guys ready for this? You guys ready for this? - Show so good. - Movies. TV. Place. Musicals. Podcasts. - Whoa. Whoa, that feels a little personal. - The fuck? - That feels a little-- - No, I mean, watch out for the art form. There are a lot more podcasts. - You're comparing podcasts to movies. - Yeah.

FAQs
The game originated from a cast dinner where the group relaxed and started playing ranking games, like choosing their favorite desserts. One moment, someone asked, 'If you were a chip, what chip would you be?' which sparked the idea to rank foods like cake, cookies, and ice cream.
The group ranks desserts with ice cream and cake at the top, followed by brownies and cookies. Some members place pie higher than cake, while others argue that cake wins due to its variety and richness, while ice cream is seen as more consistent in taste.
Angela believes wine is one of the most complex beverages because it varies widely in taste, quality, and origin. She notes that it’s tied to terroir, vineyard conditions, and even the environment, making each bottle unique and deeply interesting to explore.
Shane suggested a bottle of Sincere, a French white wine, after being inspired by Angela’s love of wine. The bottle was chosen as a fun, accessible option, and the group learned about its flavor profile, including notes of green apple and vanilla.
Angela believes there’s a point where price doesn’t necessarily mean better taste—around $20 to $30, the differences start to become noticeable. Beyond that, the quality often depends more on the wine’s origin and craftsmanship than the price tag.
Angela recalls a special dinner in the Virgin Islands with her mother, where they enjoyed a fresh swordfish grilled with lemon and asparagus. The meal stood out for its simplicity, quality, and the deep connection they shared during that time.
