And today I'm joined by two wonderful guests. I'm joined by Olivia and Spencer. What's up? What's up? That's right. That's right. Amanda's gone. She's gone. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I should stop. It's so immature. Just mocking me immediately? No. Just immediately making fun of me? Yeah. So Amanda's gone for this week and next week because she's in Boston. She's shipped off to Boston. I'm so excited to go to the town. Yeah. We're about to go to Boston tomorrow. Yeah. We're recording this. By the time this airs, we'll be back. We're doing our last tour dates, but we're heading to Boston tomorrow. I've never been to Boston. With me. Yeah. Have you ever been to Boston before? I don't think so. I get Boston and Philly kind of confused. I've never been to. Oh, you just went to Philly. I did just go to Philly. And now I know where they are. Can we ask about that Philly experience? That was crazy. What was Philly like? Philly was incredible. All I know about Philly is we had the basement yard on recently and they said it's a bathroom. So. I have no idea what you just said. They're two guys that we're friends with. Oh, and they're from Philly. They're from Brooklyn or from New York. What are you. We're talking about Philly right now. I know, but they just said they think Philly is a bathroom. So I'm like, that's the only. Philly is really cool. Okay. I went to Philly because. I went to the World Cup. Whoa. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I saw the footage of that. You were on the field, dude. I know. Yeah. I was a stadium captain. Who were the teams that were playing? Paraguay and. Was it France? France. That's awesome, dude. Mbappe. You got to be out there with Mbappe. I did. So cool. Sick, dude. So the experience was I went with my very good friend, Esty, and we went with Adidas. And our. Sort of our dream was to take our dads to the World Cup. And so they're like, would you like. Well, Esty was like, let's go to the one on July 4th. Like, could be really fun. So we go to Philly. And then like two hours before the game, someone texted us and was like, crazy ass. It was Mbappe. Crazy ass. It was FIFA. It was Mr. FIFA. Mr. FIFA texted us and was like, crazy question. Would you guys want to be the stadium captains for this match? And we're like, we don't know what that is. I don't know what. Soccer is. I don't know. Sorry, football. I don't know what this is. And they sent us a photo of like Samuel L. Jackson putting a ball on a stand. Like, he's just like me for real. And he was like, that's. I was like. They sent us a photo from Samuel L. Jackson from Black Snake Bone. And they're like, have you ever seen this movie? That's you. Have you seen this movie? And you're like, yeah, it was pretty crazy. Yeah, it was a weird movie. So I was like, okay, sold. And then I was like, great. And then we just had like. They're like. FIFA was like walking us out. And they're like, you have 60 seconds to put the ball on the thing. And we're like, what is the significance? And they're like, well, this is the ball that they're going to play with. I was like, okay, that's pretty sick. And then so we like. Did you like f*** with it at all? Yeah, like. Put some pine tar on it? Yeah. I like buttered it up. Yeah. You buttered it up. I like poked holes in it. Yeah. And that's why Paraguay lost. No, I'm just kidding. I didn't do. I didn't do that. I don't know, FIFA, if you're listening. FIFA's going to come for you. No, no, I didn't do any of that. This is. You're fine. Both of those teams. By the time we're recording this, both those teams are out. Like, I feel like you would have licked it or something. Licked it? Yeah. Because then Mbappe would have licked it later. Yeah. So it's like. Oh, because they all lick the balls after the game. I think it's part of the. At least France does that. I don't know. But yeah, it was really fun. And then, yeah. That's awesome. Did you guys get into the World Cup? It's not over right now as we're recording this, but. It was like me, personally. Like, no, I was not invited. Well, no, like, did you watch. I'm saying, did you watch the game? Yeah, I watched it enough. Well, I'm a. I'm a DoorDash member. So, like, you know, they were like, hey, who do you want to bet on? Oh, right. In the DoorDash app. They gave you that. What? So I Googled. I was like, who's going to win the World Cup? And Google was like, probably France. So I bet France. Sorry, sorry. DoorDash, the food delivery app? DoorDash, the food delivery. When you signed in, it was like, hey, pick your team to win the World Cup. And we're going to split 5 million DoorDash bucks amongst everyone who picked that team. Is that illegal? I don't know. Every single app is becoming a gambling app at this point. And, like, you know, if. If it comes. Like, you know, what if we got into it? Timothy Chalamet said it's okay. Timothy Chalamet says gambling is cool now. I don't know if I told this story, like, but, you know, when everyone's like, oh, the, you know, Timothy Chalamet did the ad for, like, the Kalshi thing or Kalshi app. I was like. Kalshi app. I genuinely. I was like, I don't get what the big deal is. Like, the cereal's okay. And, like, I fully thought that, like, people were, like. I was like, is there, like, a controversy with that? That cereal. That's so funny. Have you had Kalshi Crunch? Yeah. Yeah. No, it's, like, Kashi. Kashi. Yeah. Okay, yeah. I just. But you thought. I thought it too. It sounds like a cereal. I was like, yeah, it's the cereal. Yeah. Timothy Chalamet, like, you know. I don't know what's going on. I've been off of social media this whole week. You're totally fine. This has been years of buildup, right? Like, gambling apps have just gotten out of control. And you can now gamble on things you shouldn't be able to gamble on, right? Like, political shit. And then Love Island was on this. And there was so much gambling around that. And people were like, hey, wait. Like, there are producers who know info ahead of time. Oh, yeah. How is this working? Yeah. No, I love people reinventing insider trading. Yeah, I'm just like. Polly markets. Yeah. Yeah, it's ridiculous. The markets are Polly. The markets are all Polly. Yeah. No, but, like, that. Do you guys remember when Martha Stewart got arrested and stuff like that? What did she get arrested for again? Was it not insider trading? It was insider trading. But, like, I remember insider trading. I remember insider trading being explained to me at the time. And I was like, that sounds smart as hell. Like, why aren't more people doing this? And then I was explained to me. They were like, well, it's a crime. And I was like, okay. Like, okay. It's kind of like the more you learn about tax evasion, it's kind of like, oh, I kind of get why people do it. Oh, that sounds really cool. And money laundering, too. Yeah, yeah. Like, I get it. I'm starting to get white collar crime more. I love that Selena, before we started this episode, was like, so, basically, this episode, you guys can talk about whatever. You can talk about whatever you want. And we got into how we love insider trading. We don't love it. I didn't say we understand it. No, you love money laundering. I'm just saying, if I were in the position to insider trade, like, I would think about it. Like, would you guys not? I get what you're saying. It's like, you basically get the, like, it's kind of a deal with the devil situation, where it's like, hey, do you want a million dollars? Yeah. It's like, oh, well, if I could have a million dollars right now, sure. Yeah. It must feel, I bet for people who are in it, they must feel so good. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It also must be, like, to them, they make it make sense in their head. Oh, yeah. Of like, oh, well, you know. I'm already doing it. Yes. Oh, no, it's just that I, they probably convince themselves, like, no, I'm just good at predicting the market. Yeah, I'm so good. It's like, no, man. It's what their friend tells me. You literally, yeah. I'm saying, like, on the scale of crime, though, probably not that bad. And that's why they go to these- I don't know. Those things, those massive, like, white collar things, actually, I think fuck the world up so much more. Yeah, true. But, like, if I were benefiting from it. No, we're not. The problem is that it doesn't look like, it doesn't look like a guy actively killing a guy. Yeah. But you're, you are theoretically robbing, you're, like, fucking up the market so much that you are robbing people and- I guess. Yeah. We're, like, convincing him that it's not- No, Spencer, you really shouldn't be inside a tree. Okay, let's be a bummer about it. Yeah. Yeah. It'd be kind of, what if we started to see that there were bets for Smosh? Like, that's what I'm saying. Would you not, like- It'd be, it'd be like, Shane's gonna lose Flip 7, it's like, and I get so close to flipping 7, I'm like, but I bet 50 grand on myself. That's what I'm saying! You're talking about, like, going on, and, like, back in the day when the mafia used to fix boxing matches. Yes. Oh, yeah. It's like, go down in the fifth. I'm trying to think. There were other, like, matches that people were getting in trouble for. Oh, everything, everything, like, every, every, almost every professional sport has had moments where it was fully fixed. There was a major- You ever seen Speed Racer? I don't know if I have Scott here, but there was a big one back in the day in the, like, 20s, I think. One of the, like- uh, big baseball teams, like, fixed their, one of their matches and it was like a big deal or like they they like lost on purpose or something maybe i'm completely wrong no i think you're right i did hear about baseball being one of those sports where people were like the baseball players would yeah be involved in the mafia oh sure right back in the 20s my assumption is every famous person you had to deal with the mafia that and that's that's something i could probably research and find out is probably not true but i won't but i i enjoy thinking about how crazy the world was in the 20s i mean you talk well you talk about like vegas i think like even past uh the 20s but like you know the history of vegas the history like the early history of uh uh los angeles like with the water and stuff like that like the water rackets i don't know much about the water rackets you've seen chinatown yeah i have not watched chinatown you got to read the book about chinatown oh shit one of my favorite books okay big goodbye big goodbye big goodbye yeah oh it's about the making of chinatown wow i always forget is it the last goodbye or the big goodbye i don't know it's one of them and i don't know it's one of them and i love the book so much um also i'm reading east of eden right now speaking of steinbeck i i have had that book on my bookshelf truly my entire adult life and i've never read it i read grapes of wrath shane has it for when he has women over yeah i whenever whenever people are over i'm like oh yeah i'm reading east of eden uh no but people constantly have that in their top three i know it's incredible and it's like about the early uh uh uh southern california like moved to california yeah yeah no steinbeck's incredible like yes i i love his writing i just haven't read that one because it's a big book it's a bit of a daunting it is a big book but i'm like i'm not ready for it to be over i just know this is one of this is going to be one of the books where i'm like i i'm never going to read another book like this no it it consistently is like people are like that is a top 10 book of all time that's how i felt about tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow and secret history Oh Secret History yeah I read that this year I know I saw it And I also read one of your favorites On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous right Oh my god how did you feel It's beautiful that was poetry Crushed my soul Yeah oh my gosh But truly wonderful writing Have you guys read Ready Player One Yeah I have Have you guys ever read Wii Sports You throwing that ball at me going Yeah I have read it Have you ever read Mario Party I've read the manual Yeah I've read the manual Read about it on Game Informer You can't neither of you can beat me I have a question What's up When you read On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous did you cry Um I didn't cry But it was I laughed I don't cry too often with books Especially if they're not like For some reason it has to be like Narrative in a way to get me Whereas On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous Is written so like Poetically where it bounces back and forth Between memories that It doesn't It's not gonna get me in that way But I was kind of more mesmerized By how good the writing was And how perfectly he was capturing moments He's a prose guy I mean truly some books I read I'm like the prose is just amazing Yeah Whereas I Story will get my emotions more Prose I'm more like Oh that's This is amazing Like I'm kind of like Fascinated by like how smart Some people can write Like how well they write Um Whereas um Yeah it has to like have a story With like the right type of arc Will then get me Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow Left me sobbing Yeah that part has that That has an intense part Cause it has the prose But mostly story Yeah It has one of my favorite It's a good blend Quotes Which is the Emily Dickinson quote About That love is all that there is Love is like The freight should be I'm sure I I know what you're talking about The freight should be Selena can you pull up Emily Dickinson Um Famous quote The freight should be Elle Fanning as Emily Dickinson Walked out Yeah Like thank you Wait was she Emily Dickinson No she was uh She played Mary Shelley That's my bad Did she play Mary Shelley I think uh Elle Fanning played Mary Shelley Oh Cool She's been She does a lot She does so much Stuff The freight should be That love is all there is Is all we know of love It is enough The freight should be Proportioned to Yes Yeah The freight should be Proportioned to the groove I love that Me too What is that Whatever you think love is Like Like Cargo Yeah Love is cargo man Love is cargo Cargo fast Cargo fast Cargo fast Uh Gone in 60 seconds Yes Um Yeah Uh No that book is incredible I've been reading this book about uh You know this parasite That kind of takes over Human bodies And You know can Kind of replicate their It's like an old sci-fi book I want to say it's Philip K.

Because boredom is where Creativity is spurned from And so like When I'm able to Avoid it enough I feel so good And that's when I suddenly Have ideas and stuff Can I be honest with you guys? What's up? Not being on my phone Not being on social media Has made me go Do you Do I think I can do this job The job that we do Without being on social media Because I find That It's such a Distraction for me And as much as I know That this is our job And we have to be online Like I really Sometimes I'm like I don't want to be You don't want to be online? Yeah No I don't know I don't think you have to be online Like can I do this job Without having a social media presence? I think so I think you can I There's something really interesting I have a few thoughts on this One is There's a question I was listening to Caleb Heron's podcast once And he was talking about How like his podcast blew up When he kind of like Stopped stopped doing a ton of stuff on social media and just fully just was, like, all in on his podcast. And it kind of made, like, the focus was just there. But I think that can work for some people and not work for others. But in his case, like, kind of being off of other social medias helped him. I also think what I'm trying to work on, because I am a very, like, I don't post that often, but I am online a lot. Like, I think it's about being intentional, like, with what you do online, right? It's like, scrolling, I do think, is bad for me. Like, I'm like, what is this? What am I doing? But going on to Instagram to look at people's stories to see what people are up to, if I'm like, hey, for the next five minutes, I'm going to go check what all my friends are posting on their stories. And I'm doing that very intentionally. And then I'm getting off. Like, I'm doing a task or I'm doing a thing as opposed to just, like, being on my phone. I think just being on social media is bad because it's kind of, like, mindless and it is just distraction. But if it's like, oh, I'm going to go on TikTok and I'm going to. post a TikTok or, like, I'm going to go on there and search for a thing. But that's, like, going with a purpose. But oftentimes we pull it up and it's like, why am I pulling it up right now? It's purely so I can stop thinking right now because I can't handle being alone with my thoughts for a second. That's speaking just for myself. Yeah. Yeah, I think it's certainly different for everyone because for me, I find a lot of inspiration from being online. Like, you know, a lot of our ideas for, like, games videos or even, like, discussion topics. Yeah. Just kind of in day-to-day, to me, I get from online. Yeah. And there's a lot of humor online that I really enjoy. For sure. Like, Twitter, like, I know. You find the gold on Twitter. Like, I think my Twitter feed is just. It's like, I think I get served all the really funny stuff and I really enjoy it. You send it to me? Sure. Maybe in a week? Yeah. I honestly sometimes feel like I don't need to look at Twitter because you send me the funny stuff. Thank you. And I'm like, great. Thank you. I don't have to look through all the, like, horrible stuff. You need to send it to me. Yeah, yeah. I don't think I. I'm trying to think of, like, what stuff, you know, because I definitely have, like, Chance and I will send each other stuff. You know, Anders and I will send each other stuff. You know, I'll send stuff to Shane and Trevor. And it's like, you know, some stuff I will know. I'm like, oh, I could send this to all of them. Or some of them, I'm like, oh, this is, like, just for Trevor. Yeah. This will be just for Shane. Just niche. You wouldn't get it. Yeah. You wouldn't get it. And you wouldn't get it. No, but, like, there are definitely things that I think you would like that they probably wouldn't like. And it's just. Fair. Right now, I'm probably not getting served those because I'm not. I think it'll show me stuff that is akin to what I am sending out. But now that our phones are listening in on this conversation, it'll start serving you that stuff. Yeah, yeah. So you're gonna be. You'll have some stuff I'm not gonna really be on my phone until Saturday. Okay. After I have a lobster roll. Oh. And then. All right. Scroll, scroll, scroll. Scroll city. Scroll city. I still think about something because Eddie Burback did this great video where he locked up his phone for a month. He's, like, was off. He put it in, like, a safe. Wow. Like, a timed safe. And he. But what he talked about, like, why he wanted to try it was he's, like, if you're scrolling for, like, half an hour to an hour on your phone, on Reddit, Twitter, TikTok, whatever, he's, like, after you're done scrolling, ask yourself, what did you just watch and consume? And I realize, I'm, like, man, most of the time, I can't, like, I don't know. I can't retain any information. I'm not retaining. This isn't, like, beneficial, but it's hitting that part of your brain that's the, like, reward complex of, like, oh, yeah, like, oh, yes, I need that another hit. The B spot. But it's not. The brain spot. But, yeah, I have to ask myself that sometimes. And I think it's okay for things to not be productive, but I'm just, like, it's asking myself, what. Am I being entertained, though? Because I've made the joke of, like, what do my cats think of my phone? And they were, like, oh, he looks at the mirror that pisses him off. Like, that's what it is. It's, like, oh, he picks up that rock that makes him mad. Totally. Because that's often what it is. I'm just, like, I look, and I'm, like, this isn't. I'm not reading the news. I'm, like, if I'm scrolling through Reddit, I'm reading, like. Oh, see, if I read the news, I'm getting pissed off. I'll get pissed off. But I think, like, I think there is importance to reading the news, right? But it's important to read the news. I don't need to read everyone's breakdown of the news or interpretation of the news. I'm, like, the news is the news. I need Tucker. I need. I'm, like, yeah. There's a diarrhea parasite. I don't need to read a million. See, I need all the. But there's a lot of great jokes on there. I need all the diarrhea meme. And the jokes are good. Oh, that's what I missed. I actually did hear about this diarrhea parasite. Which, hopefully, by the time this airs. What if we all died from it? I don't think anybody's died from it. I don't think anyone's dying from it. Yet, it just sucks really bad. Yeah. It's just. I had diarrhea a couple days ago. Oh. But I don't think it was that. No, you would know if it was that. But, like, it was pretty bad, but it was, like, it was, like, it was just, like, one. No, man, that was just all you. That was all me. That was your choices. Yeah, it was my choices. I could probably say it's been a long time for me. It's been a good. I definitely don't. I don't get it often. So, we've gone from talking about gambling to diarrhea. Well, insider trading. Insider trading to insider. Insider poop. And locking up our phones. Yeah. But also, I just. I would get fired so fast if I locked up my phone. Same. Me too. Well, yeah, we do. I was still on Slack. Like, I was still. I was like, hey, Selena, how does Instagram look right now? Can you take some screenshots for me? Yeah, just scroll and just screen record. How does Instagram look? But I do think, like, being out by yourself in nature, you definitely have. I definitely gain nothing. Fuck that place. Like, I should have been insider trading. I should have been inside trading. I should have been inside insider trading. Have you guys gone outside recently? It's dumb out there. Nothing interesting. It's windy, 64 degrees. Dude, boring. Outsider trading? Whoa. I. But, like, being alone, you hear, like, other couples, like, not being alone. You're just eating and eavesdropping? No, I. They were talking very loudly, okay? You're somehow doing. Like, you're just on social media, but outside. Well, also, okay, can I also just say something that's actually. Okay. The social media aspect of it is, like, because we are. We have this public presence, it feels so strange to post a picture of yourself and get so many comments being like, wow, yes. Like, I just don't think. I don't know. I think. I think there's something, like, cool to step away from that, you know? And, like, realize, like, that's not really normal. I do think. I. It's, like, so early on that there's probably not enough, like, studies on this stuff, but I don't necessarily think our brains were built to handle this stuff, right? Of, like, thousands of people talking about you immediately, right? It's just. It's impossible to comprehend. Maybe I think that's what it is for me. I can't comprehend it. Yeah. Yeah. It's absolutely bizarre. I mean, like, look, social media is absolutely bizarre, a crazy, crazy thing. Also, I think the constant validation of people either disliking you or praising you through social media is maybe a little unhealthy and you really have to, like, check your. I have to check myself and be like, oh, like, it's not real. I mean, it is real, but it's also, like. You have to kind of have a layer of, of, like, like, awareness. Remove yourself a little bit from it, right? Yeah. Because you see creators who get too in it, both either in the hate or the praise and it's like, hey, that this, this is different. Like, you cannot have that be your reality because it's a weird other place, but. Yeah, I mean, the real world, I mean, this is gonna sound so fucking stonery, but it's like the real world just feels so real. Like, sitting and talking with, like, another human being, I'm like, what's, what's more. real and normal than that? Yeah. And, like, it comments just, like. I think what I, what I think really turns social media in a different direction is, like, the, the algorithmic nature of it nowadays, whereas back in the day, the internet used to be like, you all checked in, it's like, we're all seeing the same thing. We're all coming to the same place. Whereas now, because it's, it's kind of sequestering people to their different bubbles and it's, like, algorithmically making this thing for you, I think it's twisting it and now it's become more like a matrix than it used to be. It used to be like, oh, we're all coming together and communicating here. But now there's something, like, it is, it is actively influencing you, right? And I think that's what I'm realizing. I'm like, this is what's scary is that it's trying to show me what I want. But now that's a bad feedback loop as opposed to you go on and, like, you're not gonna ever be, like, seeing something and be like, we all, we all saw the same thing. I don't know, it's. No, but, like, like, even, like, on Twitter and, you know, this is a dangerous topic to discuss, you know, Smosh Twitter or stuff like that. But any of those, you are essentially seeing such a small microcosm, but if it gets served you a lot, you think, oh, that's reflective of an entire fan base. But it's like, no, this is, you put that number in the context of, like, who actually watches or something like that. And it is so, I'm not saying it's a voice that doesn't matter. It's just, it is a relatively small voice. And I remember learning about the fucking, the silent minority when learning about, like, American history and, like, politics throughout the ages. And that was always such a fascinating word. it's like, you know, you have this outspoken people who are like, you know, we want this, we want like X and Y in terms of, you know, someone to run for a candidate or something like that. But you have like 70 plus percent of people just sitting at home, not engaging on that level, but still having opinions. And then I think is what we have with Smosh where it's like, you know, we can do something and there will be 5% of the audience has this really outspoken opinion, but there is 95% who, you know, is never going to comment on a video, never going to comment on any of our pages, not going to engage with it on a level beyond watching it and being like, oh, that was fun. Yeah. It's what's heartbreaking when we make something that we're like, all of us here, like, this is like the best thing we've ever made. And all the comments are like, this is the best thing you've ever made, but it gets so many less views than typical. It's like, oh, that it sucks. Cause then we have to interpret like, oh, a majority of people didn't care for this, but they're not saying anything, but they didn't watch it. Like they didn't, or maybe they didn't hate it, but they just didn't care to watch it or they started it. And so it's like, oh, but the people who watched it loved it more than anything else. And that's hard. Sometimes you, you, you, you know, it's that fucking, oh, one for me, one for them or whatever, one for us, one for them, which is always such a funny. Yeah. And I do think we, we do make things plenty of the time where we're like, this maybe won't be a hit, but we are passionate. Oh, I'll definitely selfishly. Do things like that. That's kind of, yeah, that was kind of how the whole Resident Evil thing started. I was like, look, like this is something I really like. And you know, when I'm going to take advantage of the opportunity that I have to, you know, what a unique, cool thing to just be able to like, oh, like I get to choose the game we play and who I play it with. And then when it, when that resonates with people, it's like, holy shit, it's crazy. I think, uh, the, the big thing that I think I feel so sad about with social media and it, this is always the case with the internet, I think really now more than ever is like, it's just not a place where I feel like discourse and like genuine conversation can happen. It's just not designed that way. It is actively designed counter to that. It's designed. I think it's designed to make arguments happen because they know arguments are going to keep people there, but it's not going to resolve anything. So they just have to stay there. Like it's impossible to have a real good, like actual, like, back and forth. I mean, I just think it just keeps continuing feeding the beast. Yeah, exactly. They want the beast to keep growing. Yeah. It's like you stay on the app longer and you're arguing with some, well, being pissed off is addictive. Yeah. We saw it with Fox news for so long. And then like, I caught myself a couple of times with social media where I'm like, oh, I'm no different than like the people that I've criticized who like just watch the 24 hour news cycle and are just mad all day. I'm like, I'm, I'm kind of doing the same thing where you get kind of hooked on like, and that is, that's why the world cup is so cool. It brings people together. Yeah. And there's no controversy ever, ever. Everyone's having a good time. It's all good. And it's, it's like super. So a question we're going to, I'm going to ask right now, um, maybe more in future episodes is, um, how long do you microwave your ice cream for when you get ice cream out of the freezer? How long do you microwave it for? I like it hard. Fuck you, man. What about you? I don't microwave my ice cream. Yeah. That's a white. I also don't have a microwave. You don't have a microwave? I believe that. I didn't have a microwave in college for, I, okay. So we did have a microwave. Okay. And I would store it in the guest room closet. And every time I needed it, I would bring it out. And then when I finished using it, I would put it back in the guest room closet. They're unsightly machines. They're ugly. Yeah. But then I was like, you know what? Fuck this. It's just going to go on the counter. So you do have a microwave. Not anymore. No. You got rid of it. To me, like I would keep a microwave around for like popcorn. My friend gave me a microwave for my birthday. That was so sweet. I microwaves are perfect for leftovers. I love leftovers. Cause I meal prep. And so then I throw it all in the microwave. How long? Uh, for meal prep stuff. It's anywhere like, cause I don't need shit to be piping hot. Oh, I needed to be scalding hot. And I think it's an Asian thing. Yeah. So is it an Asian thing? I've got a little baby mouth when it comes to hot. Ew, stop. You guys. I cannot handle hot. I can like. Agreed. I actually, I have like a semi, like sort of like thermos, you know, cup for coffee and I kind of hate it. I hate thermoses a little bit because when I pour hot liquid into there, I'm mad. I'm mad. Cause I'm like an hour later and I still can't drink. Oh, I hate burning my tongue. I don't. Oh my God. My tongue, a 99% time is burnt. I love scalding hot foods. I don't. Miss me with that. I literally. Oh my God. So when are you microwaving your ice cream? So, so you get the ice cream out of the freezer. It's so frigging hard that you can barely like get the. Change their freezer temperature. I probably, well, yeah, but, but like, even if I can dig into a little bit, I'm like, it's just sucks. I want, I want that smooth scoop. Then go to, then go to McConnell's. Go to an ice cream shop. Yeah. McConnell's like, we'll just give you that. Well, when you get ice cream at a shop. When you get ice cream. When you get ice cream at a shop, it's not super hard. It has like a softer texture. So go to an ice cream shop. When you bring it home and you put it in your freezer, it's harder than when it. I genuinely think you have a, like your freezer is set too cold. Yeah. It's not like rock hard. It's just like, I want it to be like, I want the spoon to like go in. No, I'm at home. Go to the ice cream shop. What if it's midnight and I'm at home and I want some ice cream for my freezer? Uh, so I get the, I've been getting the whole foods have like a 50% off all their, their frozen stuff. This happened. Saw this last year. Oh, this was like weeks ago. So I stocked up on their, their organic fudge bars. It's like it's, but it's basically frozen chocolate ice cream and they are so fucking good and they come out and they're like, it's the perfect, I'm, I'm picky about texture. Yeah. Surprise. Uh, but it's like a, wait, actually. Yeah. Uh, but it is a perfect like hardness to the chocolate ice cream. I want it. I've got like two left. So, so come through. Yeah. No, for real. Yeah. Can I come tonight? Sure. Really? Yeah. What time? She's when Olivia, I feel like when Olivia does this, she's serious. Oh, I know you haven't been to our place, right? No, I'd love to come. Yeah. We would love to have you. She didn't court. We're right now. Yeah. Uh, yeah. Right now. Heading there right now. I went over to his house. Yeah. I know you guys had weekend plans. You guys had like a really cool. Oh, you're. Oh, well you guys are both out this weekend. Yeah. No, but that was the first time you guys had been to. I had never been. I'd never been to one. You're going to invite me over to your house this week. You've never been to any of my places. I don't think I can go to the Boston show. I have plans. You have to go hang out with Spencer. I had to go to Spencer's house. Sorry. That's just how is, how is his place? Awesome. Really? Designed very well. Really? I was like, damn, like I need to take some pointers. How do you guys feel about someone going to your house and looking into your fridge? I don't care. I don't care. Oh, I'm a Snoopy dude. But you wouldn't do that if you came to my, you would open my fridge. I feel like I did do that. I'm a very. I'm a very like, when it comes to food and drinks, like I, when people come over, I'm like, I'm like, you're allowed to have anything. No, no. But would you go do that in someone else's house? Open their fridge? No, I would ask. I would, I would maybe, but I don't care too much about what's in people's fridge. Oh dude, dude. Yeah. I'm going in there. You've been over to our place. Have you peeped the fridge? Yes. What'd you think? Nice. Thanks. Great drinks. Like, you know, how does your fridge look like? I feel like I'm pretty proud of like the amount of like fresh produce. That we have. Like y'all go to the farmer's market. Oh yeah. I get all this stuff. But uh, yeah. So this, this parasite thing is really scaring me. Cause like I'm, I'm a fresh produce guy. Yeah. It doesn't. So I'm like me at all. I love, I love that stuff. So they're asking me to give up the thing. I'm like, Oh no, I have to eat Oreos and donuts for the next two weeks. Oh, it's in fresh produce. Isn't it only the East coast? I think it's kind of, they say it's spreading. It's spreading. The spinach is blowing in the wind and it's no. Oh my God. What did it say? It becomes like a popping me in the face. Oh, it's like the happening. It's the happening. What? No. It is the happening. Yeah. The bees. Nobody care about the bees. Oh no. This is happening right now. I hope we don't get sick. There's someone who's listening to this podcast who doesn't know any of the references we've made and they're so confused. They'd never read what ready player one. They haven't seen the happening. Ready player one fucking sucked. But you got them with the microwave and ice cream. I didn't mind. I listened to the audio book. It was when we were at defy and I would drive into defy and I would drive into defy and I would listen to the book and I would just be like, man, this sucks. It takes a lot for me to hate a book. I think my imagination, I'll pull out a heavy lifting to try to like like a book. Really? I give it up. Yeah. Yeah. Fuck. Think harder. Um, no, I, I enjoyed like, I think I'm good at, um, when I'm reading a book or I'm watching a movie, I kind of quickly try to tap into, I'm like, okay, what, what's the vibe of this? Yeah. Like, what is this going for here? Like, is this, am I taking this seriously? Is this just like silly time? And I think I would know I was reading ready player one. I was like, this is silly. This is silly time. I need to tap into my like 15 year old brain. Just enjoy the references. Like I, I do that for things. Yeah. Um, I've talked about that. Like I do that with star Wars, like star Wars. I'm very much like, Hey, I'm, I'm here to be entertained. I'm here to see cool visuals and stuff. I'm not going to pick apart the things too much. Did you wind up seeing back rooms? No, dude. I watched it. How was it? Two nights ago. I really liked it. I'm glad you really liked it 'cause I've heard mixed things. I went and saw it in theaters by myself and I saw it like last minute opening weekend and I really enjoyed it. But I love the back rooms. And like talking to Cain Parsons Which we all did. We all talked to Cain Parsons But see like I talked to him about serious shit and you guys made him do 6-7 The disrespect No but like I wish I had seen the movie before talking to him because I have so many legitimate questions Let's have him back on He's awesome I even sent him a DM after I watched the movie I was like No he hasn't responded to me either I think he's really really busy I imagine he's busy or he's stuck in the back rooms Speaking of movies I watched a movie by myself two weeks ago called The Invite I heard it was pretty good It was so funny Have you heard of this movie?

Hortons What Tim Hortons I feel like they have that Here They do It's called Animal fries Dude For viewers at home Do you guys ever Do you guys ever Fuck with Dutch Bros I've never had I've never had Dutch Bros Dude So it's It's like It's like a drive-thru Coffee place But they also have like Red Bull concoctions Ew Can I I think I've talked about this Something I really respect about you Genuinely Is like You will hear about Or see like Fast food places That are like Oh they have this new item Or like Oh they do this crazy new thing And you're like I gotta go try it Yeah And I really respect that Is that not exciting to y'all I just No I Honestly when it comes to fast food I've ordered the same thing My entire life Oh I'll get the same thing Like But like No I When they When Taco Bell's like We've got this new Enchilada Double smack taco I'm like Nah And I'm trying it I'm not trying it No To me it's I'm gonna go get the same thing It's experiential to me Interesting It's a You know But it's experiential In a low Especially with fast food It is low stakes Where it's like If you go to a nice restaurant They're like Oh we have this new dish At that point I'm like Fun However I'm gonna stick with All reliable Okay But in a fast food context It's like Well I can get both both true what's your fast food order which place one place pick pick one place pick one place is real uh i feel like uh the ones are like jack-in-the-box where they serve everything so jack-in-the-box like i like trying their new concoctions but like my fallback is typically they're loaded tiny tacos which are delicious they're like the they're little beef tacos and they put them in like a essentially like a chinese takeout thing i don't know chinese yeah yeah jack in the box works like but you know like what do you call this container like a chinese takeout container the yeah the little yeah like you know the the white uh it's it's jack in the box branded but like i don't know what else you would call a container is it good yeah and so they i did try one once they throw it in there and then they put like nacho cheese in there like this other sauce and then lettuce rest in peace and then they you shake it up and then it's every taco you with the fork and they're these crispy little beefy cheesy saucy tacos you should get some today and i think you'll get the diarrhea see i think i was gonna say with the way that like your choices of food and the way that you eat food at fast food places i think if you ate the parasite i think they would forgive you and they would move on they would be like we're our work is done they're like this guy is cool yes yeah no we don't we can't we can't do this but i don't eat like that like you know if i go like that'll kind of realistically be the only thing i get there like i know some people's fast food orders we you know to be like popeye's oh popeye's another one like i'll get the the three spicy strips and the fries the mashed potatoes and the biscuits so i guess it's pretty do you know your order for pretty much every fast food place don't y'all not always what's yours what's yours for usually it's just like i get wherever and this is like fast food and also like chili's level it's like i'm getting chicken fingers or chicken nuggets anywhere yeah like i just they kind of just hit no matter where you go right so like i'm like if taco bell served them i'd be like maybe but taco bell i get so they do serve them they do yeah they're pretty good of course you've tried them uh i get five crunchy tacos at taco bell five crunchy tacos crunchy tacos you eat all of them yeah dude wow i could eat more i get it i have to actively stop myself i get a cheesy gordita crunch um and the cinnamon twists whoa and talk about you've heard

I heard their beyond orange chicken was really good. And I keep telling them to bring it back. I wonder what their holdup is. I do know the holdup, and we'll talk about it after. Oh, damn. Okay. It has to be off the record. You learned about it at Taylor Swift's wedding. That I wasn't at. Wait, but I did want to ask you something. Me? Yeah. Go for it. What's it like to be sitting with the detention degenerates? Jesus Christ. Does that intimidate you? Holy shit. Did you guys win? It's been over a year. No, we lost. Who won? I don't fucking remember. This is how me with every games video goes. I don't remember who won. I told that to so many people, because some people were like, it sucks, we're losing. I'm like, literally, I have been there for every iteration of every fucking thing like this. I couldn't tell you who won a single fucking thing. Yeah, who won? The banana ramblers or the- Why didn't you Icy Pursing so much? Can you tell me who won any? You've been in every games, winter, summer. Who won any of them? Snow Rambes won the first winter games. Fuck. It was the Yetis, Spaghetti Yetis. I don't remember the winners of any of the games. You guys, what we have done. What we have done. What we have done, yeah. I don't know who won, but you know, I have to say when I'm in it, I get so fucking competitive. That's me. With any games video, I get in, but as soon as we yell cut, I'm done. I'm done and I forget about it. I think about it. Okay. No, you don't. Yeah, I do. It is funny that like, look, I'm going to self-insert here. We've all been in all of them. We have. I might have been behind the camera. I actually, I guess I was there, but I didn't compete in the first one. Yeah, but you were the ref. Like, you were, and that was kind of the first time I saw Shane. I was like, this guy's like, this guy's really funny. Well, I'm so glad. I'm so glad that we don't have to do half the shit that we used to do. That is true. I'm so. It's far less painful. I'm so happy that we don't have to have ping pong balls hit to our stomach. Yeah. I'm so glad we don't have to make fucking snow angels in the snow. Fuck that. Yeah. There was one where I was really jealous I didn't get to do it, which for all of the rest, I didn't care. Oh my God. But it was the one where we did the, you went down in a sled and knocked over the bowling pins. The bowling ball. The bowling pins. Yeah. I remember that. I hated that. I love that. I hated all of that. I love that. Oh, that one looked sick. That was fun. I loved that. Honestly, I was only doing it to keep my job. Yeah. I truly, there was this other thing that we had to do after summer games. We had to go to fucking Six Flags or whatever the water fucking. Hurricane Harbor. Hurricane Harbor. I remember that. I was so uncomfortable. I hated that shit so much. Oh yeah, because you don't swim. I just, I don't like public water. And they just were throwing you in the water and like. And I remember it was like, Oh my God, we get the Hurricane Harbor all to ourselves. I'm like. It's like you get that anyways. Because no one is going there. You get the diarrhea disease there. Yeah, that's where it starts. My favorite games that we've done is the one that we did last. Oh. That was by far my favorite. Last year's summer games was incredible. Last year's summer games was so fun because we didn't have to do any body stuff. Like I didn't have to eat a hot cat. It was really well constructed. And the crew, fantastic. We got to throw darts at Anthony. The production was on point. The next one that we do, I'm so excited. And I hope we're on the same team. No, we're bringing back tickling for this one. Yeah, we're doing the tickle game. Sorry. The theme is tickling. Sorry. That's how it goes. Yeah. Am I going to get in trouble for saying that I hated every single games we did? No. That was before Anthony came back. You're allowed to talk whatever shit you want. I mean, he was there for the first couple. First couple, but I don't think he. Do you remember the one where they did where they didn't go and they were just like, they did commentary and I had to edit in the commentary. Even though they, like, didn't even watch, like, a finished edit. The edit wasn't ready, but it was. Like, they couldn't watch it. They, like, couldn't watch it. So, it was just like, oh, like. This is crazy, man. No, I think it's because one of them had to get their wisdom teeth out. No, I think Anthony booked something. Oh. Maybe it was both. We'll get him on and ask him. Yeah. What the deal was. No, they're so transparent about, like, there's no. Like, that is the nice thing. There is no bad blood about any of that stuff. Like, it's purely, like. Like, fodder for laughter. That was defy. That was a wacky, wacky world. Wacky world. Anyways, we're out of time. Oh, no. Things were getting really juicy. We were getting. It was getting juicy. I was, like. I was warming up to say some crazy shit. Sorry. You're going to have to say it all in Boston. No. Unhinged me. Or no filter me. I go crazy. I go crazy. I get crazy off the. I'm scared of myself. I'm scared. I get crazy off the friendly conversation with close friends. By the way, can we show some appreciation for this huge table? I kind of want to do. You know the kick they do in Kung Fu movies where they lift their foot, like, straight up and they kind of grab it and they bring it down. Yeah, yeah, yeah. An axe kick. Yeah, they were doing a lot of that in The Furious. And, you know, I feel like axe kicking that would be really fun. That would be really fun. I wish I could axe kick. I feel like you could. Or drop kick. I could bring my axe. I could bring my, like, up really high. You could do a full on bam. Yeah. Do you want to try and axe kick it right now? No, we can't destroy this little table. No, I think someone would be upset. Stuart Little. My good friend. My good friend. The borrowers. Stuart Little. Thank you both for joining me today. Thank you for having us. Yeah, of course. And thank you all for listening. I hope this conversation was fascinating to you. And imagine, if you will, a very small table. And, yeah, imagine a really tiny table if you're just listening. Think about insider trading for, uh. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Uh, yeah. Maybe detail out why it's bad. So expensive. Give us some facts.
