#159 - Smosh Mouth For Women

This Smoshmouth episode blends humor and personal storytelling to explore everyday experiences of women, centered around Reddit subreddits like "Ask Women." The hosts share relatable anecdotes—ranging from a terrifying squirrel infestation to awkward public incidents like pooping in yoga pants—highlighting the absurdity and vulnerability of modern life. A key theme is the evolution of "effortless" living, where confidence, self-expression, and comfort grow over time, especially in the 30s, as women move beyond societal expectations. The episode emphasizes authenticity, showing that many women have struggled with self-image, from makeup routines to fashion choices, and that embracing personal comfort—like wearing loose clothing or being open about bodily functions—is now seen as empowering. Through humor and shared experiences, the show underscores how communities on platforms like Reddit provide real, supportive spaces for women to navigate challenges. The segment also touches on cultural trends, such as the return of Y2K fashion and the rise of inclusive styles, celebrating individuality and self-acceptance. Ultimately, the episode celebrates women’s journey toward self-compassion, using lighthearted storytelling to challenge perfectionism and affirm that true confidence comes from authenticity, not appearance.

- When I landed from Albuquerque, T-Mobile had a huge outage across the country and could not call an Uber. Like, couldn't text, couldn't do anything. I mean, this one woman, I was like, "Oh, Uber's not working." And I was just kind of saying they're trying to refresh the app. And then this woman next to me was like, "Is your phone working?" I was like, "I thought it was just Uber." And then the phone goes SOS. And we both happen to have T-Mobile. And then like, we're just like, "What do we do?" And then her husband happened to see her as he pulled in. And because she wasn't waiting for her car, so I don't know what was happening. And then she was like, "Are you going to be okay?" And I was like, "Yeah." And I guess, "What was she going to do, drive me somewhere?" And so I literally just, I could tell she was feeling worried about me as she left. And I was like, "It's fine. Just went back into the airport and got on their Wi-Fi." And then I had to call the lift and then like, wait to the last possible second to then like, "Okay, they're there. I'm going to run outside and get them." Because I had no service or any way. - Service or scary. And I like literally get in this car and like, it's still set on my app. You haven't been picked up yet because the service was gone. And so like, there was no way for anyone to reach me at all. Until literally I was almost home. I finally had that service. - Crazy. - That was a curse plane ride. Yours was a curse plane ride. - I had a curse plane ride. - But you and my son exploded in his onesie. - Oh. - And the changing tables in air Canada are-- - They're this size. - They're-- - No way! - His head-- - It's on the changing table. - A man-- - Trust his head. - A man just said to the flight attendant, that's illegal. - I said, "Hey, your changing tables are illegal." She goes, "They're small, huh?" I was like, "No, they're illegal." And then you told me that and then I went to go to the bathroom and I looked and I went, "That's it?" - Yeah, people didn't even know where it was. Bless you. Guys, hey, welcome to Smoshmouth. I'm Amanda and Shane is currently locked outside of this building. He's desperate to get in. And we said, "No, no, no. This is the Smoshmouth for women." Once a month, all men bleed and we lock them out. That's right, we lock them up in a room in YouTube jail. - That's right. And 30 or 28 days or 31 days a month, women bleed. - Does that make sense? - Huh? - Anyways, I'm here with my two besties. I've got Angela and I've got Courtney. I'm so excited. - And we still have all the props from the boys episode. - Yeah, the boys did an episode and I got Damien's prop. - I got Trevor's. - Do you know what goes in there? - Yeah, a Pokemon. - Do you guess how? - Eggs. - Yeah, you gotta catch mine. You gotta click this button and you open it and then you suck them in. - Good job. Thanks. I was waiting for another Harambe move. - Nope, I've been around. - I've been around for this Smosh world. Anyways. - Hi. - Hi. - This is so fun. Thank you so much for having us. - Of course, we have a bottle of Sensei. - Sensei. - And we have a pool table with a bunch of chips and dip. - I want to put, no, I don't. - What? - These things are just perfect size to put your mouth. The balls. - Courtney already wants to put balls in her mouth. - Guys, look at the women's episode. - Look at the women's episode. - We're putting balls in her mouth. - We're holding balls in our hands and balls in her mouth. - Look, and you clicked on what you wanted. - Look it, we're getting more views than the boys episode. I swear to God, if they get more views than the women's episode, I don't trust in you guys anymore, okay? - If the boys episode outperforms the girls episode. - What are we gonna do? - Smosh mouth will go dark for a month. - I will shave my hunt head. - Selena is flipping out right now. - Here's what we're doing today, guys. It's pretty crazy. So on URL with the lovely Courtney, when I was a guest, I admitted that one night we had to bring like subreddits to Smosh mouth and I was like, oh my God, I didn't know what to do. So I just, I googled subreddits for women. - You said subreddits for females. - Oh, I said subreddits for females? - Yeah. - What is wrong with me? - What is wrong with you? - So, for fun, to really double down on how dumb I am sometimes, we're doing a full episode of subreddits for women. So walk me through someone who doesn't understand Reddit. What do you mean subreddits for women? - Oh my God, I feel so much better that I have someone here who's also like Reddit. - Right. - And I know, and I think we've understood Reddit a little bit. - Based off of Reddit stories. - Thank you, that's the show. - Thank you. - Thank you. - Do you read Reddit? I actually have been using it more and more lately when you have like a nuanced situation or you're unsure about like something. You can always find some thread where a bunch of people have had a real experience with that thing. - Yep. - And it's, what are you, how are you doing it? Let's talk about this. Are you going to Reddit.com? - No. - And you're typing it. - No. - I'm going to, I will say-- - I'm going to go and add Reddit at the end. - I'm going to add Reddit at the end. - Where are you going to say it? - I just go Google and usually the Reddit pops up like third search or something. - So you're looking up like, how do I make people laugh? - No. I don't need to look that up. It's deep inside of me, Angela. - Oh. - No, when I was pregnant, I was like, this thing's happening, huh? - Yeah. - And actually there was a lot of Reddit for pregnant people. - Yeah, whole making noise. - No. No. That's called a fart. I had looked up, I had had a surgery this year and there was some weird stuff that I was dealing with and I literally found so many people who had this very specific thing and were like, yeah, it's super rare, but this can happen to you. And just like, that can then make you feel less crazy. - Yes. - And is that, that's not Reddit for women. 'Cause like last night-- - I know. - Two nights ago, last night, maybe two nights ago or last night, everything's the same. I heard a creature, and I freaked out. - That, it is. - As a single woman living alone. I went. - Your creature. - Naturally, called my dad. - Who doesn't, what? - What can you do? - What was the sound? - Okay. It was, it was, it was, it was like, (barking) then why, for three minutes. Then, (barking) and I was like, oh, maybe not hot. - I'm like, that's an enormous cockroach. (barking) - See, all of these sound right to me. And then my dad was like, I'm falling asleep. (laughing) And my dad goes, my dad goes, text your landlord. And I was like, okay, no, you don't text your landlord. And I googled like, creature, scratching, or chopping at wall. (laughing) - This bitch needs to get it right. - And then Reddit came up. And then I went, what is that? Is that Reddit creature? Like, that's just Reddit. Do you think there was a rat in your wall? So then I read Reddit, and then it was like, let me probably have a rat in your wall. - Oh, that sucks. Let me tell you that you don't have to find specific subreddits to find the answer. Sometimes it'll be like, ask women, and there's all different types of subreddits on there. - That's what's cool about Reddit. - So that's my question. That's what I'm asking you about. It does the question come first, or the Reddit first. - Question. - What is it? - So I googled, I googled, I googled, I googled, I googled, I go, say, like, I did this reason. And then I was like, this brand of desk, Reddit. 'Cause I was, I saw brand of desk. I was shopping for a new desk from my little home office. And this desk was incredible looking. The price was too good. So I searched up to see if this company was legit 'cause it wasn't on I had seen before. Google, Google, Google, Reddit at the end, found a threat of people talking about it. People being like, yeah, it's really reasonable. It's 'cause usually people will buy those desks in bulk for offices, like, like, big offices and stuff. So, good it. And it's a great desk. So that's, so that's Reddit. Wait, what did Reddit say about your rats? So what, yeah, and I'm also like, your search bar, you didn't even put like Los Angeles. - She just put creature. - I wrote, I wrote. It was like a million. - Creature, if you got the sound, they like, single. - Oh, single creature. - Comedian. - Likes people to communicate thoroughly. Trouble with relationship, community. - I had a dating app and I was on there. - Comedian. - No, I wrote, like, crunching at the wall, not biting. I wrote, like, something really specific. And it, 'cause I wanted all I kept asking my dad, and I'll send you this screenshot so you could see this screenshot. It's really funny in the video. I kept going, I just wanna know if it's inside the wall or outside the wall. If it's outside the wall, I'm gonna go to bed. - 'Cause I was so tired. - Why would you, outside the wall means inside apartment? - Oh, no, outside. - That's right. - I just wanna know if this sound means he's in my walls, if he's in my walls, we can both go to bed together. - Oh. - But if he's outside my wall. - That's all it takes. - I'm going to go to a friend's house. - Whoa. - And I want to know the difference between the sounds. - What did Reddit say? - Couldn't tell. And then-- (laughing) - Reddit was like, girl? - Me too. - After a while. - It was like ex-husband. - My dad was like, go sleep on your couch and close the door, 'cause they have like a studio and then a lot of couch. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - And what did you do? - Have you heard the sound sense? I went to bed. And then I kept waking up going, you here? - And it was like, gosh. - Hey, go back to sleep, babe. - It was definitely in the wall. - Hey, go back to sleep, baby. - Yeah, that's exactly-- - That's the rat. - I wish a rat sounded like that. - Oh yeah, it was probably like, hey, dad, dad, dad. - So, you know the house? - You were a dirty. - The house that we had the little, like, LA party for me and Shane's wedding celebration. - Love that. - Yes. - We slept there the night before and there was like, screeing, scratching in our ceiling. - Ooh. - A lot. - And there's like a difference between it being in your room versus like, above it. - Yeah, like, 'cause you can tell when it's like, things running on the roof. This was like, no, there was like rats playing a freeze tag in the attic. Like, it was right there. - Right. - It was right, dude. - I just kept here and crunching, then stopping. And I went, babe, if you wanna eat, just eat. - You should have given the babe some food. - Babe. - Babe. - Shower on, bed on, chewing roof, chewing roof on. - Shower on. - This episode of Smoshmouth is sponsored by Casper.

I think he actually left. Now back to the show. Just me. My niece once was telling my sister like, "I can't." Support comes from wise. The smart way to manage the currencies you need around the world. Your life is global. Your money should be too. Some providers promise no fees on overseas transfers. Don't be fooled. Extra costs often hide in bloated exchange rates. Choose wise. You can send, spend, and receive money in over 40 currencies. Count on the exchange rate that you'd usually see on Google. That's how millions save billions on hidden fees. Be smart. Get wise. Visit wise.com. Tease and seize apply. I got sleep in my room. I'm really scared. There's this noise that keeps coming by the vent. My sister was like, "Get out of that. Just get out of that. Stop." She was like, "No, but I'm really scared." She was like, "Okay, you can sleep with me." My other sister was staying there. She slept in my niece's room and she woke up to like, what is that? She looks at the vent in a fucking buff ass arm, like a buff ass furred arm, bust fur vent, and then tries to open the vent. And I'm talking, like, weeks, buff ass fur arm. So weeks my niece was like, I'm scared. And my sister was like, "Okay, you can come sleep with me." But she'd go in and be like, "There's nothing here like a big wrap." I don't know what it is. So my sister was like, "Dude, you have an infestation of a buff ass." She was like, "And it's Johnny Bravo, literally." And so they called, it was a family of flying red squirrels living in the attic. And this red squirrel was like, "I want to sleep in that bed, Mommy." And it tried to bust its arm through the vent and open the vent. So imagine my sweet little niece going, looking at the vent and it's just like, "Boom!" And he said it's a buff ass arm, like what? So apparently the guy came because they have to like, rehouse them. They don't, they don't, they just like, pick your name. So he showed her like a lineup of pictures of squirrels. No, he didn't. And the bump going, "Do you recognize any squirrels?" Yeah. The buff is arm one. She was like, "It's that one." And he's like, "Yes." "Yes." And this is not a joke. This is a story that was like embedded in me and it went to sleep. And then it just woke up because of red. So going back to the original reason why we're here, yes, is I'm curious. So you type in that story. I type in reddit for females. No, no, no, no. Before you get there, you type in that story. How do you get on reddit for females? No, no. And so that story is nothing to do with reddit for females. But then what is reddit for females? I think it's not. There is reddit. So reddit is one place. I googled reddit for females because I was trying to find subreddit that I knew I would like. So like a dumbass, I tell Courtney this, you know, on a smash video, which is so fun. And Courtney, how did you go? What is the sign of a girl closing a podcast with a man, being like, "I'm desperately trying to connect." Let me look up something I can talk about. The reddit. The reddit is the common ground. So there is no reddit for women. There are specific subreddits that are women-centric. There's a reddit for women. It's pink. It's reddit is your TV. And the subreddits are the channels on the channel. Thank you, Courtney Miller. Oh, wow. That is a good description. Each channel has all the stories, all the things. So you found all the subreddits that women enjoyed going to do. Yeah. So summer like hallmark, summer like peacock. Or hulu. And some's like HBO. Max. Oh, okay. This makes honestly, thank you for my sense. That makes sense. You did such a good job explaining this. You did it. And I did a good job as well, no? You did it. Correct. Because now I understand we're seeing things that women click on. Or post too. It's like, you just brought up your niece with a weird buff rat. It is a flying squirrel insane that you would call it a rat. I mean, it's not the same thing. I've never seen a flying squirrel. Have you? No, because I was flying. How would you see it? This is going to be the best episode we've ever done. Shane, you cannot come in. God, he's banging on the door. He's banging on the door. Just like the flying squirrel. You need to you need to finish your multiplication squares. What? Yeah. Okay. So the first subreddit that we're going to get into is ask women. Ask women. That's a subreddit. Okay. Okay. Can you believe it? We should be asking women things. Here's a question. And people think our effort list about you but really isn't. Okay. Answer this question and then we'll read this thread because that's what these are. They're called threads. These are called threads. Reddit users are going to love this episode. So Reddit is the TV subreddits are the channels. The threads are the TV shows on the channel so Reddit TV channels subreddits TV shows on the channels. Okay. Can I tell you your life here on my cough yesterday Courtney and I were both mining our own goddamn angelic business and I was coughing in the office and she goes your cough is really beautiful. I didn't show you. She lied her ass off. I'm sorry I keep coughing and I was like it's okay it's a cute cough so it's fine. She said it's a cute cough. It's giving three-year-old holding a wet cheeto. She said it's a cute cough but every time you did it she went. This is why I get the clowning workshop tomorrow. Okay. That's okay. Because once I start, nope. Okay. If you think water can stop this, hey then you're mistaken. Stop. You're making it worse. Sorry. It's actually really, really fucking funny. That's why I woke up in the middle of the night and I was like coughing as I was laughing and I was like, I sound like I'm dying. Do you have the goose cough when it gets too far? What's that mean? When my sister's in Miyasik, there's a goose cough that comes through that's really embarrassing. It's what I mean. No. Don't speak honey. Don't speak. It's a real hot cheeto who just accidentally inhaled a bunch of sand. Okay. Let's do this question. I think this is perfect. What's something people think are effortless about you but really isn't? Right. My hair. My tits. My badge. I am literally dying. My hair. My tits. My badge. Yeah. Bitch. My hair. My tits. James. My hair. James. My hair. My tits. Yeah. My badge. James. James, you crushed that. Courtney, do you have a ruthless thing? Should I do a real one? Yeah. I'll do a real one too. I'm sorry. Oh, that wasn't. Yeah. That wasn't real? My tits are not everyone. My hair is amazing. I put work into it. Oh, and Angela has crazy takes on her hair. We've talked about a long time ago, and I have not stopped thinking about it. You're my best friend. I. Go ahead. Courtney. I think people think my makeup is effortless, but it is a very meticulous, long process. And that's why I never do my makeup at work because it is like a home meditative thing. Well, that's how good your makeup is. When we look at it, we're like, oh my god, effortless. But then people. But you put so much work into it. People don't realize that every time you see a court on camera, you have to give space to the hour and a half that came before that. It's like an hour, yeah. Like an hour. But that is when you consume most of your YouTube and your content, right? Sometimes I. Guys, sometimes I rock, doggie, and silence. What? My makeup. Yeah. Do you make up and silence? Sometimes, yeah. You know why? Because it's probably my only silence of the day. It's a very meditative time. Yeah. It's really nice. It is. But you think people think it's effortless. I don't think. Yeah. I don't think they're like, oh, it looks cute. Or maybe my hair, because I spent a lot of work. I didn't do it today because I couldn't fucking get myself there. Your hair does look effortless, but I know that you spend time on it, because you kind of have to. I also think, like, I read some book when I was like in middle school and I think about all the time. It was like, good art is invisible. Yes. Good editing is invisible. Like, yes. Good comedy is invisible. and like. like someone told me good design is invisible where you look at the iPhone and you go I can't imagine it designed any other way and that means the design is so like made for a function that you can imagine it any other way and like your hair every every you've gone through a lot of hairstyles or haircuts in my knowing you and each one looks natural to you thank you yeah it's never forced and then he's nobody kind of doing something forced you're like okay it doesn't mean it's bad were you talking about my bangs no you're talking about my make your bangs great God those microbangs it's how I met you oh my gosh you're a Renaissance hair you're a Joan of Arc hair my mom was like is that what you're doing for the wedding and it's like you sneezed and it grew back like I was like so fast it happened so fast yes it did I was like a shooting star my baby you're a shooting star that's so true yeah I would say like I feel like effortless is I don't know if that's the right word because everything takes work your your body the food that you put in it the time you spent sleeping it's all we're all actively doing work and if I show up and you're like oh my god I woke up like this okay you make you make your motherhood look easy like you make me a mom look easy you do Courtney I'm gonna cry don't it's very sweet no but it is it is true thank you you

red tours our town coordinators shout out Danielle Danielle would be like what's your preferred seat aisle or window or middle I didn't think we would be fighting for the gorgeous most gorgeous beautiful boy in the world if I thought that was a part of the question I'd say I'll so I can hold the queen's son but because I was asked that months in advance not knowing the queen's son would be in route I said window so I don't have to talk to Trevor or Spencer and then I can put my head on this side because I love resting my head and going to bet so we went to the alveas uh zoo thing and I

open seat me a stranger is next her so she's she's blocked off by strangers and Cole is not a tiny boy Cole is a big like passing off a carry-on suitcase yeah he is freaking 30 pounds so Angela every it's a little bit baby her own bag every yeah he's he's dense yeah he's yeah he's exactly okay that's my son he's right there Angela decides she's gonna put her whole body over her seat I'm talking full out this is the woman's so the woman sitting here watching like a really sweet movie and Angela is putting her whole body her whole body goes over the woman's screen she goes that baby that baby her whole arm is over the woman's screen and the woman's going and Amanda will be like I'm gonna go to the bathroom and then hand it to Emily Rose or Alxina I go what about me what about me with this full road man in the middle of us yeah and he's like and I said I would give him to you but I don't like he's gonna try to pull that man's stuff off it like all he did with Emily was was literally reach over the top of the chair and kept pulling off her hat and taking it and then putting on her hat and then reaching back over he had a cup of Cheerios and he was doing so well for like an hour just like looking at them eating them giving them to Alxina eating them and then at one point he was like and I was like no no no and the cup of Cheerios went all over and this woman acted like she got pelted with a bullet she was like oh and I was like I'm so sorry meanwhile I'm hanging out with a 55 year old man and we're both watching what's upon a time in Hollywood I'm going I killed to be over there and Angela's going and the woman's just like and the arm is just this is her TV the arm is just going Papa this happened for six hours six hours anyways and every time Alxina held him I was like it's not fair no she's getting a joke I was like it's really not good and then we were getting close to the end of the flight and I went when we land I get to hold oh when we land I get to hold him and I was like all right and then the second we land I'm holding him an eight shows up and I go here's your dad and he's just like and I was like here's your dad if you want to go go to your dad go for it all right okay what are women saying I think uh so this is what women are saying effortless good things happen to me some people think I just get handed opportunities but that's probably because I don't tell anybody when I'm working towards something it was survival strategy I learned from having nosy people picking and prodding at every little thing I do interesting oh someone said effortless being an extrovert slash charming okay as a young adult I was a huge introvert and would constantly fuck up my interactions with people because I was weird and awkward I would seriously put them off then I got a customer service facing job years of therapy and basically observed and learned how to be an extrovert well I will occasionally get freer extra stuff at restaurants coffee shops bars hotels I feel like I've been around these people where they they just get free stuff but also I would say this about effortless is like effortless means you can't see it yes it seems like it's a natural it seems natural and I and I do think that about a lot of the work we do we're like we're trying to make it look very natural and it is natural and it is truthful but after a lot of work to it yeah just like that woman said right people skills that's huge friendly outgoing I think people are saying oh skin oh yeah I do think some people are just like lucky with skin or yeah it's just like I have worked 40 years to have not a like Jupiter looking to skin because like I had really bad acne when I first started to mosh and like that was years of like struggle I mean like yeah so depressed and sad yeah and like even I am like damn it's like it's nothing now like I can I could sometimes sleep with my makeup on makeup the next day and I'm and it's I'm like whoa I was thinking somehow look better now but I used to go in a war a gust of wind we should get a purple heart women should get a purple heart when they sleep with their makeup sorry I literally can't sleep with my makeup on I feel like a heavy weight like a blanket no I do it but then I wake up and I go yeah I wipe it all off sorry are you saying uh I forget you're talking about your when you're makeup oh a gust of wind used to make me have like three white heads like it was so bad it was so bad so you're getting a purple heart for sleeping with your makeup on thank you and Angela is I think you're getting a purple heart but I'm not sure because you're waking up so angry that they're probably taking the purple heart back sometimes I'll like go I'll have a full face gaked of makeup what and then I'll go to bed and I'll go no no no you don't but it's different because she's because I'd say the way we're all different and we all especially with women where it's like we each have like different parts of us that we try to make effortless but there's so much effort there where it's like a lot of my best friends growing up and like what you're saying their skin was that mine was my body where it was like any change in my diet would like a gust of wind set you off. would change, I couldn't fit into any clothes I would buy. And then, you know, it's very different versus my skin was pretty consistent. And it's different for everybody. - Wow. - Yeah, I agree. I feel like effortless is, I don't know. I go back and forth on if it's, I guess it could be a thing if it's like a, you know, outgoing or positivity and stuff, but like, but I honestly, I talk about this a lot. I think it's a millennial thing that beauty and style, and even being funny is best when it looks effortless. Where it's like, oh, you just stumbled into that versus trying, somehow has like some ik factor. And then, I see Gen Z, when they're like, I tried really hard for this outfit, or I tried really hard for the skin, or I tried, and there's no ik. I think when we were growing up, there was some type of like, you have to naturally be, it's natural. - So much change toward trying. - Yes, so bad, and that's why I think this effortless thing. - Think about the One Direction song, I talk about it all the time. You know you're beautiful. - And that's what makes you beautiful. Is being like, oh, I just, I fell here. I fell here. - So it's essentially like a state of mind. - Yeah, I think it's also a fad. - Or it's like, you've worked so hard on something that maybe is easy now. I'm being like, oh my god, you look so good. Like that, like, Kimberly, you're just so naturally beautiful. - Yeah. - It's like actually took me a decade of research in trying products and changing my diet just to figure out what's wrong with my face. - Yeah. - And it might have been a product of the '80s being so fake that people were like, once we got out of the '80s and the '90s, it was like, oh, you're effortlessly beautiful. You're just that way. - Mm-hmm. - They're not. - It's like when people say you look the cutest in like your sweatpants and your hair up. And I'm like, all the time? All. - You're like, you don't. - All the time? - You don't know the darkness. - One of those celebrity pictures that they take of these poor, beautiful celebrities that are just walking in their car, and they just get them. - Do you think we'll ever have that happen to us? - Do you think they'll ever get us? - YouTube TMZ. - There are those. - Are we all over TMZ and we don't know it? - No, you'd be getting that shit on people.com, you literally. - No, but there used to be these channels that were like that, but it was for YouTubers, like they'd find like James Charles or like Emma Chamberlain on the street and go like, eh, what's it going? Where you at it? - That should be illegal. It should not be allowed. Sorry, no. And you'd be able to find us. - Any cocktail barn and so on. - We're just like this. - Low lighting. - Yeah. - Your block went well. We just wrapped it up with Lourga. - Are you Southern? - Aren't you guys Southern at the end of a shoe block? - Yes. - A little bit. - Good culinary craft. Love y'all. Love y'all. - See, you are Southern at the end of the day. - I'm not. - Love y'all. - Love y'all. - Love y'all. - Hey, great shit today. - I say y'all. - Love y'all. - Love y'all. - Because it's gender and closence. - Love y'all. - This episode of Smosh Mouth is sponsored by Quince.

You know that, I wasn't fishing for compliments, right? - It's so interesting 'cause you said fishing like three times. - Okay, here's another one on Ask Women. Ooh, anyone that's gone from extremely and secure to extremely confident, how did you do it? What did you change? I actually love this question. Confident ladies, how did you get there? I would say you're both very confident ladies. - Oh, yes, queen. Even when you're coughing, you own it, baby. - Yeah. - Go me. (laughing) - No, I don't think I'll be anymore. - You know what's crazy? I was just talking about this a little bit on an episode of URL, but I was bullied a lot in middle school and high school. I was called bra stuffer. I was a little emo kid. I was stuffing my bra. - Who said that to you? - Okay, so they were kind of saying a fact, but how rude. They don't know. - I don't know. - You know she's got your ring, you're right. - She just said it. - I was stuffing, she was stuffing her bra, but you weren't allowed to say it. Were you, I was shoving my bra down. - Are you kidding me? I wore two bras and wanted to tape it down. - Me too, there's bra stifers and there's - And there's bra stickers. - I would have murdered both of you. - What? Because I wanted boobs so bad. - Oh, why? - I would have been like, you're so kira nightly chic. You have no boobs. - Yeah, seriously. Anyways, bullied a lot. And then in high school, a new friend of mine showed me the pretty little liars books. And it's very like gossip or all. - Did you know they're a book? - It started as a very long series. I think there's like, when I stopped reading, there was like 13 books. - To me, that's like someone going to the survivor books. You're like, "Oh, honey, you know I'll be reading those, but you can't put it back." - It was gossip girl, but with murder. - Oh, you would have loved it. - And we loved gossiping more. - You would have loved it. And just the books, specifically, the like, it just helped me flip a switch. And I was like, I am not gonna let these girls make me feel like crap anymore. And I just like, what age? - Well, great. - Like freshman year. I still had my emo cut and was like growing it out. And I just remember like, it was honestly like, I got into acting here and then. 'Cause he's like, I'm just gonna, like, put my shoulders back and I'm gonna. - Yes. - Like, give a little snarky smirk at somebody if they're gonna roll their eyes at me. And like, it was like a switch. Like that book, those books. I don't know if anybody else can relate to that, but those books, man. - I love that. - That's important. - When did you? - Did I get confident? - I think even you saying shoulders back. - You're like, "I get confident." - I get confident. - I'm interrogating you. - What are you talking about? - I'm not the president, I don't know. - I feel like, and those are fake until you make it kind of clean. - You feel like, you know like. - Yeah. - Fake until you make it. - You know me. You don't even have to say you feel like it. I am a fake until you make it kind of girl. But confidence is something like in my thirties that I have been wanting to be like, all right, let's cut the shit. There is no, there is no like, I don't know, like extra space in heaven that you're gonna get if you're effortless, just try. If you try, it's not gonna make you icky. Even though every part of me thinks that, but like putting my shoulders back and being confident and trying to do that has always felt disgusting to me. But now like, I don't know, let's see, your thirties, you're like, it's like, we're gonna die. It's also like as a performer, it's like, it's like, let's get going. It's like, if I'm not going to be. Do I feel like I'm in like a cigarette commercial or a cowboy just pulled up on me and went, you're gonna die. But like all of a sudden, what I'm doing is like, I'm just trying to figure it out. And then quick, you only have two more years. But seriously, it's also like, why waste your time? It's like, the people are gonna say things regardless. If you look your best, if you try your best, if you be effortless, people are gonna say shit regardless because people don't know how to express their emotions. So they just project. Or do you guys feel like you have this list in your 20s of what you wanted to look like or the way you'd be and you'd be like, then I'll be confident. And then at some point, you go, I'm never gonna hit that. But life is still going. So if I don't act like that, then I'll never feel it. Yeah. I might not hit it. You might not hit it because it's not really you. But then also, it doesn't mean you can't live life. Yes, exactly. It's like committing to the bit, but the bit is feeling good about yourself. No joke. Yes. You figured me out. I also feel like, I also feel like it's closed too, because I would try to wear the most form fitting clothes, the tightest clothes. I'd be like, I can't wear an outfit unless it shows off my body. This was like me back in the day. And then I was like, I'm not comfortable. Sometimes don't get me wrong. I want to wear something tight and cute. But mostly I just want to wear loose fucking awesome-ass clothes. And now my Instagram is just filled with all these people that are like, dress the way you want to feel. Dress for silhouettes. Yes, or honestly, a very vulnerable thing. I don't think I've ever said out loud. And you said that just now and I went, oh, wow. I thought little bags. Like when we were younger, they were chic, right? But then when they came back in style, I only saw a certain type of body type. Oh, holding little bags. And I was like, oh, I'm not skinny enough. Or like, I'm not cute enough or young enough to have like a little bag. And recently I was like, in a second, I'll lose the times in which I'm gonna even want to have a little bag. Does that make sense? Right. We were like on tour and like going out to dinner and I was like, this is one little bag. I have a little bag. And if the requirements I'm setting on myself to have that little bag are needed. never gonna be around for the amount of time that I'm gonna wanna use the little bag. At some point, I'm gonna need a mommy bag. - Hey, you know what? - I'm a mom and I still want a little fucking bag. - Right, I'm six feet and I want the tiniest. - I want a tiny little bag, but it has to fit some stuff. - None of this bullshit, I don't want a little bag. - I'm gonna carry Bradshaw back. And I was like, I'm never gonna be thin enough or cute enough to have a little bag or quiet enough. Literally, I thought I was too loud to have a little bag. And then I was like, the other day, I was like, life is too short to wait for when I'm gonna be those requirements. - And also, everyone around you isn't even thinking about you with your little fucking bag. All they're thinking about is like, I want a little bag too, but I'm this, this, and this. Or, and then there are those women out there that's like, I'm wearing my little bag, y'all can fuck off. - No one cares. - Nobody cares. Nobody cares. - Get the little bag. - Get the goddamn little bag. - Get the big bag or get whatever you fucking want. - Yeah. - Get the big ass bag, but I want a little bag, but it's gotta fit my phone, I'm sorry. - It's gotta fit your phone. - And my lip was. - There's little bags without a phone. Like, you can't fit your phone. - Oh, that was like the trend with like, - It's called a micro bag. - Thank you. - Okay, well, some of these people say that. They say, turn 30. Something clicked in my brain, putting myself first. - Yep. And I don't know if it's like the chemical of being 30 or just like the amount of time you've spent feeling not good enough in your 20s. - Right. - Yes. - Like, I don't think like if you're listening at home and you're not in your 30s, but you're feeling like you want these feelings, I don't think it's like a, when you're 30, you do that. - Agreed, agreed. - I think it's like a, you know what, I've sat in this bullshit enough. - Yep, yep. - It's a mind, I also think it's a mind shift. I think you just get so over. You're not free. - You grow out of the cage, yeah. - Yeah, you're not free at all. Every day you're thinking about your clothes, your makeup, your hair, for somebody else, you're literally not free in your body. And also, at the end of the day, nobody cares. And if you're saying like, well, I can't get a date or I can't get this or people make fun of me, I understand that's gotta be really, really, really hard, especially when you're in high school and you're stuck there. But like, at the end of the day, get to a place where you can feel really free and free enough to say, I don't want to spend time with any of you buckers. That's all that 30 means. It means sick of the bullshit. - Yeah. - It doesn't mean age, can I have some of that sincere? - Yes. (laughing) - It doesn't mean age, can I have some of that somewhere? - Do you have your phone? - Yes. - Let me take a picture for Shane. - Drinking your favorite wine on your podcast. - Oh my God, he's gonna be so jealous. He's gonna be so upset and jealous. - I'm ready. - Ready? - Be funny. - Hey bro, I'm drinking your favorite wine on your podcast with your wife. (laughing) - Antis and I'm here. - And your acquaintance, Amanda's here. - What? - Oh, acquaintance? How dare you? We are business partners. - Thank you, I was kidding, I love you. - She has a cough right now. - And her voice, your arms are a little cheeto cough, and she hates her voice sounds a little fucked up 'cause she has a cough. - If I sound insane, it's 'cause I have a cough. (laughing) - But do you guys, people don't realize that early Smosh videos of me doing Smosh, I'm always talking like this. - If I have a little bag, I need to get a little bag. You know what, I haven't said this to anybody. I mean, I get a little bag. Everything will be right. If I just get a little bag, you know what guys? I just need a little bag, and then I'll do all to be okay. - It's something really vulnerable. - And it was awesome. - And you both are making fun of me. - No, I'm not making fun of you. I love you so much and inspired me to do this new character. - Try this, it's really good. - Do you have a sip? - Have a sip. - Have a sip. - Have a sip. - Okay, give me one sip. - It's good for your blood. - It gets an abonix moving. - There is a, guys, girl. (laughing) - I knew I would probably do that. - Have a sip again. - Have a sip of wine, it'll get the ante, but my grandmother probably would say that too. - I gotta say, there's like a bunch of mannequin heads in the dark over there, and it's scaring the shit out of me every few moments. - It's really spooky. - I'm gonna take a picture for Selena to put in. - And that's what it's like being on Reddit. - Hey there. - Let's see the next thing. - Okay. - How do you put a tampon in? - We're moving on. - I don't know, you put it up. - I'm gonna move on. - What'd you ask? Oh, you know me tampon once there were? There were literally like, am I crazy for not knowing how to put a tampon in. - It's sexy. - I put a tampon in. - How do I put a tampon in? - No. - And it's, you're not crazy. It's that. - Exactly, they're growing up. - It's so hard, no one fucking teaches you. - You ever do it standing up? - Yes. - So, what a blast. I'm gonna talk to you guys about this after-- - Yeah, so you guys doing it on an angle, right? - I put a, I hike a leg up on the counter. - Yeah, you gotta do an angle, of course. - And if this doesn't get enough clicks-- - You can't go in. - But the boys can talk about those-- - The whole-- - My dick, it's your dick. - I don't pull down all my pants. I put it right through the hole in my-- - You're putting me clutch. - I put on a family guy. - So I can take my dick out and find the hole. - Oh my God, your face just now shifted. - All right, this is, okay, cool. This is about fashion. - Yay. - How do you, okay, so this is Ask Women Over 30. That's us. How do you feel about our millennial youth culture becoming trendy again? Examples went to a vintage shop and it just looked like my eighth grade wardrobe. Seeing ads for flash effect on Instagram that look like an old '90s disposable or digital cameras. Seeing Y2K is a descriptor for vintage fashion. - Oh, Y2K huge. - Seeing kids with actual digital cameras out and about instead of phones to take photos, cameras. Kids having early 2000s as a dress of theme for Spirit Week. I can't speak. Toma got you, sir, back. Eyebrows are getting thinner. No, they're not. - Yeah, they are. - They are. And they're getting bleached. I guess I had on my show recently. Her eyebrows were glitter and nothing else. And it was slay. - Wait, that's actually just glitter, no way. It was like just glitter in the shape of a brow. - See, we didn't have that growing up. - No, that's sick. That's like futuristic shit. - Yeah, yeah. I don't know why I brought it up. - No, I'm glad you brought it up. - You brought it up or you didn't like it. - I mean, it's like, we gotta break our brains a little bit. - 'Cause my thin eyebrows, mommy don't like it. I had thin eyebrows for like maybe two years and I look back and I'm like, if you guys saw me thin eyebrows, he wouldn't be my friends. - No, I probably would be 'cause I had thin eyebrows too. - I think I wouldn't be freaked out with Y2K fashions coming back. If all the other fashions pre-that, we're also coming back. Does that mean since we're coming back? Like to me, it's just a, it's just a fad that is other things from past coming back. - But does it feel like just randomly coming back? I'd be like, what? Does it make you feel old? I think that's what this post is saying. It's like, does it make you feel weird? Does it make you feel ancient? Do you love it? - I kind of love it. I kind of love it too. I think it's like kind of like such is life. Like when I was in high school, people were dressing like 60s, 70s. - Yes, yes. - Go bottoms, like border-roise, like high-waisted came back. And I was, I was such a hater for high-waisted for the longest time. And then. - Me too. - That's all I own. - They're the best. - They're the best, ever. - I will say, it does throw me off because I'm like, have we run out of stuff to like, where or like scraping for newness? - Our moms and parents weren't repeating things from before. Those were like genuinely new things. Is what I think. I think. - Right. Were they? - Like, can you guys think of a trend you used now or that you wear now, that you believe is genuinely new? - I think there are new things happening right now. But it's, I think it's because of the amazing technology and like innovation of fashion right now. - Okay. - Or it's like new material, like what? New like textures and shapes where it's like, we had all these low-rise jeans and camisole, but they were kind of ill-fitting on people. And now like the way people are able to make clothes and is better. - They're better. - And then for people and like the types of bodies they're designing for, I feel like. - Yes. - But we know how to make them better or like, oh my God, having more tops with the built-in bra. That's my favorite thing. - Yeah, oh best. - But like, even the gender of it all is like owning things and taking them back. Just like we talked about language where it's like, there are things that were only for one group of people. We're like baggy pants, we're only for one group of people. And now there are so many people. - That's true. - I love that. I love that baggy pants are coming back and anybody can wear them. - So when in this podcast, in my voice jump, two octaves down. - Oh, I remember the exact moment, actually. - When was it? - I haven't actually on video. Do you wanna see it? - Oh yeah, it was when you took a video for Shane. So sometimes the video for Shane, right? Your video for Shane. - Because I'm talking to you guys. I'm going, so who's that? - That's why I did the character. It wasn't 'cause you shared something vulnerable. I just used what you shared vulnerable. - Do you wanna hear this? - As a character. - I think it might just be. - Yeah. - Yeah, hold on, you're making me conflict. Looking at you. - Talk to that. - What? - This is how it goes. - Getting, I love you. - Normal voice. - She wasn't kidding. - She's a six year old hot Cheeto cough and she hates you. - And then? - And then? - If I sound insane. (laughing) - So something happened. - I think your voice is like a passity. - I think we should blame it on the men. - Oh, you're right. I think the second I started talking to a man, my voice got lower. - We shouldn't have even opened up that portal. [BLANK_AUDIO] look at Laura because you think that that would have been desirable. No, I think you're coughing a lot and your throat's hurting. No. No, your voice is that capacity. Capacity. Okay, I think we covered all that because there's so many fun things. Capacity. Oh, that's a great drag queen name. What did, what did um, is everyone, anyone in a drag group? We should be a drag group. Group house drag race. Every season is a drag group. You're right. Nope. Nope. Wait, sorry. Sorry. Yeah. Cheers, you guys. God, this is fun. This is fun. I'm going to lock him out more. I will say, I think trends are fun and I love any excuse to dress up. I love costume season. I love Halloween should be a month long. You're so good at dressing up. You're so good at that. So seriously, your fashion is unfucking believable. Guys, please. No. But what I'm saying is I think no matter what, it's just like dressing when what feels good to you and what flatters you. You know? This is this I love. I feel like technology and clothing and design has gotten better of finding things that are more flattering for people. I've been loving this barrel pant where the legs are all big and it's a different silhouette. Yes. I love that it's more ways that it's like feeding into the things that I want to show about. It's like what you said where it's like I used to be a tight. I had to wear a skinny jeans to show my butt and show my midget. I still show my midget. I had to show every little thing to prove that I had it and then like Billy Eilish comes in and goes, how about none of that? Yeah. Which I loved. But that's why I think it's like so fun about these things to answer that Reddit post is like these things are coming back but with no rules. Yes. Yes. And silhouettes, I feel like people are obsessed with just like the outline of you. And what's better than like an awesome fucking wide shape and like I just, I'm very into it. And also like for me, I felt like fashion was holding me back because I felt very stuck in it. And then once I was like, wait, I love color. I love new things. I love linen. I love wider pants. And it's like, and when I wear it, I get more compliments than when I wear the fucking tight thing. Yeah. Or interesting. Yeah. I don't have to be one way to do this one trend. Yeah. I think back in the day, all those trends were that way and that's the best part about them coming back is throwback fashion is being like, throwback fashion on a different gender on a different type of person on a different hairstyle. Yeah. The no rules is. Yeah. And here's a really important one. Ask women over 30. This one is I shit myself at yoga today. Wow. I shit myself at yoga. Yep. It happened. I officially shit myself in public for the first time at 34. Oh, in, in, in yoga. In, in you? In yoga pants. In, yoga. Well, she had to be wearing pants. I trusted a fart, never, she trusted a fart. Let me tell you, anybody, women especially do not trust a fart. I trusted a fart and next thing you know, okay, hot sludge is soaking my underpants and slowly spreading down my thigh. Luckily it was silent, well, I wore black leggings, okay, the lighting was dim, so I don't think anyone saw, but the smell was unmistakable and I definitely packed with immediately and left about 20 minutes in. My only saving grace is that I didn't even like that studio anyway. It was only going because I bought a month long pass. Guess I'm never going there again. Please regal me with your poop story so I feel better about myself. Oh. Wow. Well, you're not alone. I'm sure there's plenty of women who have pooped in public. Hot sludge descriptor. Oh. Not a fan. Yeah. Oh, Angela's dying over here. She hates it. So much. I open the gates with the cough and I shouldn't have to. Yeah. And also you're not even trying to cover your mouth. Cause I'm crazy. So what's the difference between this and a little bit? That's what you just said. It's okay. No, it's not. It's very funny. It's giving that little meme of the little cat with the child mouth with going. It's very fun. Okay. So I don't care. I don't have a story like that. I fear. I'm very strong and secure. I will never pooped. I don't poop. I'd never have. I never will. Look at that hair. What? So my hair is loose and free. That means I just. There's. Whoa. There's a. There's a type of hair you see and you go, that person poops. I have something here and you go, that woman's never pooped. I did have a moment where me and Shane were out and about walking around our part of the city and my tummy was like, you're going to die. I hate that. I was like, and Shane was like, I love this walk. The glitz walk home. And we were walking home. And then I slowly was like, this walk is going to change our marriage. Like, ever had a grave look on your face? Yes. Yes. I was like, am I going to have to stop on this sidewalk? Shane's like, it's a 40 minute walk home. I'm feeling good. Do you want to hit the road? I'm like, I like feel my pores like opening on my head. Like, luckily I was fine because I have control. You were like this, but. Let's go. I was like, yeah. I was like, I'm loving this. Yeah. This walk is sick or it is. And he's like, if you want to run, I'm like, I can't run like the way you hold on. What did you tell him? You had to shit. And he said, you can run. I said, I said, something is coming. And he said, do you want to run home if you want to run ahead? That's okay. Run ahead, Shane. If you want to experience the mudslide at the end, your wife says she's got a shitty and you say you can run. Good Lord, honey. - Lord, honey. - It was like a 15 minute walk, and we were like five minutes in, I was like, this is taking a turn. - Do you wanna run ahead? - I love it. - I love it. - I love it. - It's like turning the on button. - It's turning the on button. - With my body. - That's telling your body. - You can go now. - Yeah. (laughs) - Hey, you're free to go. - If you wanna go, you're free to go. - If you wanna go, there's a blender going and you wanna open the lid. - Yeah, literally. - You guys just taste it. - If you wanna give your body the green light, let's go. (laughs) - But I was fine, everything was fine. - Do you keep walking, unit run? - I had an urgency to my walk and a breath. - You got, you got, you went, no, no, no. - I said, do not be near. - Bones, go away. - You, you pushed the cat's aside, no, no, no, no. Go upstairs and you know it's good for you. Go upstairs. (laughs) You know it's good for you. Turn on your headphones and shut up. - I literally, blasting reels on my phone. - Oh, I love doing that in the office now in the shared bathrooms. - Yeah, yeah. - Oh, so that's you. - No, I'm not blasting shit, but I am blasting reels. I'm going, I'm going, I'm going. - Thank God. - So, so, so, and I think you guys can get this, because some of them, they're shared and I usually, like I think a month ago when we were new to the place, if I saw somebody in the other one, I would go to a different one. - You go, hey, it's me. - No, now I'm trying to embrace it. And now I'm trying to be like, hey, someone's here. - Sorry, I walked. - Remember when I did that to you in the public bathroom in Montreal? - You, you didn't do that to me. You scared me. - And I wasn't pooping. I just went in quietly, and I was in the bathroom thinking no one was there, and she went, you can stay as long as you want. (laughing) - I just made my voice really deep to freak her out. - And you went, no, you let her, remember you let me borrow a hair tie, and I said, do you want your hair tied back? (laughing) And I went, and I knew she didn't know who I was, because she was silent for like, I would say a solid like, six seconds. - I was so scared. - She was very scared. It's like my favorite thing to do. - But all to say, the real thing during the poop is real. - Real. - Wow. - Where you're like, let's just make a lot of noise. - I do it. - Let's make some noise, everyone on your feet. - Do you guys remember the first to run ahead in front of your husband? - No. - Yeah. - You remember the moment? - Of course. - We don't have to talk about that if that's too much. - Oh, I don't know if I remember the moment. (laughing) 'Cause that's when people say the relationship gets real. - I broke my toe on our third date, so the relationship got pretty real. - How'd you break it here? - We were playing Badminton in Malibu on the beach. Just us, and he was like, go for it. (laughing) He was like, boom, and he hit the little birdie, and I was like, ah, and I was like, yeah, I'm gonna run and get it. Like, watch her back, and I was in my bathing suit, and I was like, running with the thing, and there was a massive rock that was like, I'm gonna end your life today. And it was jutting out, but like, the waves kept crashing over so I didn't see it. So I was like, mm, mm, running all hot, and then I just stopped my toes, so hard, and fell so hard on sand. Do you know how awful that is? Default so hard on sand? It's not soft, 'cause it's the wet sand. So it was like, like it was, and he was like, oh no, and I was like, I'm okay. I was in so much pain. You know, I'm fine. I was like, I'm fine. I'm fine. And he had to carry me. Oh! And then my foot was fucked for like four days, and I was a bartender. Did you go anywhere out of work? Did you just like, oh yeah, we went to this place, we got a big fight. Wait, really on your third date? Yeah. Get it out of the way. I was like, I was like, you're open. This is the deal, man. That was where I was at when I got to see this. I was like, there's a lot coming, you see this foot? It's broken. Oh, there's just gonna get broken in my path. - No, it wasn't like that. - Now's the time to decide. Do you want inner out? - Do you want inner out? - Yeah, pick me up, take me back. - No, but farting, it's no problem. I don't know. - I don't think I have a funny story at it. - No, it's okay, I was just curious. - No, no, no, no, we'll do it later. - It felt inappropriate to ask. - We're not gonna do it here. - Am I the asshole tampon? - This is killing me and I actually think it's quite perfect for this. - Can I be annoyed at constant throat clearing? (laughing) - What do you mean it's perfect for this? - Um, anyways, I now work from home with my mother in her mid-60s for the past three weeks. - Geez. (laughing) - I shouldn't have said throat or clearing. I now work from home. For the past three weeks, she's been constantly throat clearing, like (clearing throat) - Oh, every 20 seconds, from morning to night, we have had a few confrontations about it. She swears she can't do anything about it. I beg to her to see a doctor, take cough drops, sip warm water. She just keeps making this really loud, disgusting sound. Every 20 seconds. - Oh my God. - We've always had a low contact relationship anyways. Ooh, but I can't lie. I've been busier in my own life lately and I'm wondering if this is a factor, huh? Ultimately, think this is some mental health tick. I really don't know if it's unreasonable for me to get so upset about it. Can anyone relate to this or know what this could be? No idea how to approach this. Thanks for the answers. - Oh, I would love to hear what the comments are saying about this one, 'cause I initially was like, "Well, maybe it's just like an anxiety tick." - I could be. - My mom's just throat. - But my mom does some throat clearing, but I literally think it's like, some type of cold that she got 20 years ago that she just never took care of. - So she's like holding, listening to this. - So while holding back a cough is crazy. - Yeah, so sorry about that. I'm evil for bringing this up. - No, you're not. - Oh, I am. - But with older people, she said this was her microgram. - So, no, this is her mom and they don't, they have a low contact relationship and she's like, "I've been busier in my life than normal. Maybe this is related." She thinks it's a mental health tick. They've had confrontations about it. Her mom says there's nothing she can do. She wants to know if anyone else has felt this. - Comments, my mom does this, but it's a known side effect of her blood pressure medication. It drives me mad, but I know she's also very self-conscious about it, she can't help it. - Oh. - Interesting. - My husband constantly does this. - Shane usually says how many upvotes it has. - Oh. - The big comments? - I guess I'm not Shane. - 184 upvotes. - Thank you. - Anyways, another person, another commenter. Not OP, I'll use the word OP, sorry. - She says other comments say. - Other comments say, "My husband constantly does this. I make him take something for it. Easiest thing in the world to do and it helps. He'd rather sit there and clear his throat constantly, irritating me, than take action about it. I have to tell him he's driving me mental. Otherwise he won't bother his ass." - Sometimes like consistent but not rhythmic sounds can be really like a sensory nightmare for people. I've been on both sides of this. Like I recently, I get like a little nasal tip from the trees or the pollen or something and so I'm doing like a, and I feel like if I'm in an Uber or something, I'm like, "Oh my God, I'm just driving him nuts, aren't I?" - Yeah. - Or like when you can tell someone just refuses to blow their nose. Do you know what I mean? - Yes. - And she's just like, "How do I find if there's an update?" - Update. Updates, she's doing it on purpose to annoy me. People are saying this is GERD, G-E-R-D. Ever heard of this? What does it say? - Yeah, I agree with you. - It's acid reflux or like-- - Oh, acid reflux. Okay. - It's like an esophagus stomach thing. So it could possibly be that. - Did you get annoyed by things like that? - I would say yeah. She said it was in the middle of the night. I think she said it was all the time. - Yeah. - But then she just, okay, so she also didn't edit and then she said she figured it out. I think it is this GERD acid reflux thing. And not a mental health tick. - That's good. - Yeah. - Well, I mean, all others, you know, it's all. - But I will say, I definitely, I get really frustrated with like snoring. I can't do snoring. So like throat clearing, okay, it's okay, but like, snoring, I don't think I could sleep. - That can be tough. That could be tough. - Both of my dad and my mom, they both go like this. Cups aren't even on their mouth yet. - No way. - No way. - Both of them do it. - They're not coffee in the morning. Later, if they have coffee in the afternoon, I'm not seeing them do it. I analyze this 'cause it drives me crazy. - Do you think they're, and they want it. - Skoldy hot. - Okay, do you think it's them going like, "Whew, they're bullying their mouth before they're not coffee?" - Yeah. - And they love it really hot. But I've noticed them go, and I'm like, whoa, whoa. - Oh, mug is not even on your mouth. - I need to see a video of this. I need to see a video of this. - They ever do like a, that's me. - No. - I actually don't mind that. - What do you do that for? Ramen. - Every, everything. - Do you remember that thing that we were doing when people eat cereal? No. Do you guys don't remember spending time with your cousins? Like back. - No, we were dating during zero. - And they would eat cereal and go, "We were at a pool for the first time together." - How do I be out by now? - Yeah. - By be out by now? - Yeah. - But we were like, "Do you know when you're in a pool?" And we were like, "Nah, hmm." - And you were like, "What?" (laughing) - What? - When you're in a pool, you're like, "Nah, hmm." (laughing) - Yeah, swimming's hard. (laughing) - What? - Or when you chuck water. - You just swim it, you go. (laughing) - I'm gone. (laughing) That makes me laugh so hard. Okay, I wanna give us one more. I could literally do this for hours. - What are we? - Why are we not doing this for hours? - Walk him up. - Walk train up so we can do some awesome work. - Walk him up, okay. We're doing the biggest slay as the last one. - Biggest slay. - But hey, we might do a part two of this because we have so many in here that we didn't read because we had so many funny stories. All right, this is from another subreddit for women, but it's not really, it's not called for women. It's called the Girl Survival Guide. There's some really fun ones on this one. - You guys ever read Chicken Soup for the Blank Soul? - Yes. - Yes, of course. - Constantly. - From Brow specific, they go. - Yes. - Yes. - It's like Chicken Soup. - It's like a baby sitter soul. - Yes. - Or chicken soup for like, the like, middle child of the second kid's soul. - Why didn't I get that one? I wanted that one. - There were so many. - I was just like teenage soul. - We should do a-- - Oh wait, we should do a reading of Chicken Soup. - So they were many stories, right? - They were many stories. - They were submitted. - Yes, they were real. They were like the first fucking Reddit. - It was like the first NPR too, like Chicken Soup. - Yeah. - But you'd be like, there was like many stories. - This American life is so good. And they have like a through line, like a help at the end, kind of. - Yeah, they have to feel good. - They still make 'em because it was like, chicken soup for the blonde girl's soul. - I read that on the toilet constantly. - And we had it on our toilet too. - It was toilet reading. - So that was before Reels, what's Chicken Soup? - Okay, so we are so millennial, and maybe we should bring it back. I would love to have you both back. - And we could do Chicken Soup. - Please. - Yeah, you have to have your cough though. - Cough has to come back. - This is never coming back. - Okay, good. The Girl Survival Guide, okay. For the girls who keep spare underwear in their bag, I've got a question. - Okay. - Do you guys keep spare underwear in your bag? - I do not, but I heard an iconic story recently. - Say. - That's a why. Pamela Anderson, in the last few years, did a what's in my bag? - I love her. - She keeps, if you ever saw a model with her hair in a messy bun, it's a G-string in her hair. Like, so she used to keep a G-string in her bag for it to be underwear. - Or a four. - She would use it to tie her hair up in a messy bun. Like a clean pair of underwear. Always in her bag for just in case. - Shut up. - How did she tie it? - She did it on camera in the video. - During the pandemic. A lot of times I tied my hair up with a surgical mask. Did you guys ever do that? - Yes, I did that before. - No. - Yeah. - What? - Wait, I want to know about this. - Wait, please. - Okay, so I've never kept spare underwear in my purse. - In the last time, like, traveling airplace. - Neither have I, but it's pregnant. - It's a shame thing. And I think it's something that I should do. I think that's a great thing to just have. Why not just keep whatever in your purse, you know? - Literally. Yes, you're right. Unless you have a tiny purse. - Tiny purse. Phone. - Well, it's underwear. - And you're allowed to have tiny purse. - Little baby purse, you can have one. Okay, so this person says, I've got a question. I've seen a ton of what's in my bag videos where girls just pull out underwear and say it's best as a spare for emergencies and whatnot. I don't know if they put it in a pouch or just keep it like that and whip it out when they need to, but I was wondering if there comes a time when that underwear needs to be used and it wasn't in any pouch, where does the current slash use slash dirty underwear go? What's the protocol there or just in general with keeping spare underwear? I'm just genuinely curious, as I haven't done anything like this before, it does seem like a good tip because you never know when you might need some, I guess. I'm just curious about the mechanics of it. - Yeah, yeah. - There's 54 unphones from the OP pose. - Logistic. - This is great. You guys I want to get to this but I also I just want to ask you guys, you're traveling. We just went on tour. - Yeah. - Where do you put your duty clothes? - I do keep, like the suitcase I have has a little laundry pouch that I can like shove it all in and it's like in the top. - No, it's like a separate little extra little sack. - Yes, it comes with. - Do you know what I do? If you're staying in a hotel that does like the hanger situation with the bag, that's like, oh, we put it in there. - You do your laundry. I've never done my laundry at a hotel. - You use the plastic bag. - I take the bag and I put all my laundry in that. - That's smart. - Yeah, but a pouch would be great. Since I did this one, I was like 16 on my first trip. Wait, to here. The front. - Oh yeah. - The outer one. - It's so perfect. - It feels vulnerable. - It's just like covering it. - It's what TSA immediately goes into first. - Yeah. - When they check your bags. - Dirty underwear and socks all in there. - That's smart. I mean, what else are you supposed to do? Do you know what I have for coal? Is I got these like waterproof zip cute little bags that I just keep with him all the time? And I'm like, why don't you just keep them for myself? - Why? Because this is a good question. It's not just about carrying underwear in your bag. It's also going, where do you put old underwear? - Yeah, I mean, it makes sense. You just, when you get home that day, you just throw it in the laundry. If you don't, hopefully you don't forget. - Yeah. - Yeah. Okay, so a couple comments here. I have a pouch where I keep a few pads, band-aids, painkillers, about two small plastic bags, wet wipes, extra underwear, and also one extra period underwear if I'm on my period. I used to also have small chocolate in there, but I ate it, and now it's gone. If I'm in need to change underwear, I use mentioned plastic bags. My pouch has folders, so I keep things nice and neat and separated. - Okay, well, not all of us are you. - That person is incredibly organized. - That's tight capital A plus plus. - That's amazing. - I don't have, I don't do that. I guess I keep a small zip lock bag. If it's bad, it gets thrown out. - I just, guys, I don't think our hooch is like a vacuum that's sucking up any bacteria that's in our bag. Like if you put on a pair of relatively clean underwear, am I crazy to think like just a pair of underwear in your bag? Well, here's the deal. I would probably put, if I were to carry purse in my underwear. - What? - If I were to carry underwear in my purse, which I haven't yet, which I should, I feel like I would put it somewhere. Anyway, I wouldn't just have it loose 'cause what if you trip? - I mean, I'm gonna fall. - You fall. - A hundred thongs. - What if you do this thing? - Here's the thing, I'm gonna throw a guess out, okay? Obviously, you're not changing your underwear in the middle of Barnes and Noble. You're going to a bathroom. - And which section which is closed? - Which is closed. - Romance novels, obviously. - Of course. - Of course they do. - Yeah. - No, but you're obviously going to the bathroom. I'm picturing like wrapping it in toilet paper. - That's what someone said here too. - Yeah. - Someone said toilet paper, if it's not too bad, I think it's fine. - I would think I don't do this. - Or if it's like if you were on your period and then it's just like you ruined your underwear, you probably just throw it away, yeah. - Or I would think change purse. Wait, someone just said I have a spare pair in my little, little coin purse in my bag. I also keep a roll of dog poop bags in my purse because I have a dog. - I used to do that too. - And they come handy in the event I need spare pair. - Or wallets. - I used to like maybe your wallet. - Yeah, you're disgusting, but. - You pull out dollar bills. - Oh, there's your phones. - What? - It's like what made you excited about that? - I got really excited about my joke and then I abandoned it midway. And that is subreddit for women. So I think this is, it's interesting because it is like, have you guys ever carried extra underwear? - No, and I'm like, why wouldn't I? You never fucking know what's gonna happen. I carry a hundred diapers from my son. - Yeah. - I mean, he shits a lot, but like I also, you know, like you never fucking know. - It's so true. - I think it is such like a sexy iconic thing. I like, you never know if you're staying the night over somewhere. - Very so cute. - Or you need it for your hair. - It's like, why do we have diaper bags for babies? We should have diaper bags for women and for men. - Do you know what I've been saying? We need, you know those vending machines and airports and it's like, make up. I'm like, what? Have like, what? - Have like in face. - What? (laughing) - What? - What? - What? - What? Why aren't there like pads and tampons and like face cream and face wash? - Yeah. - 'Cause there's a lot of women. - Airports, hate women. - Airports. - What women dead? - They really do. Okay, so here we're done. We have to be done because Shane is like, literally out there banging on the door. - But we have-- - There's a head against you. - Just slip some protein powder under the blanket. - What? Okay, there's also women in tech, a bra that fits. Female living spaces, what do you listen? - What do you listen? - The patriarchy, other subreddits, other subreddits, other channels. - Okay, so we're coming back. - We're coming back. - She's just, she's telling the world what are the other things you could read. - I'm telling the world that we'll be back. And you're gonna see us three again, whether you guys like it or not. 'Cause we're gonna finish this subreddits for women because we have saline. - It's still really hard on this. I added some things. There's some really good stuff on here. Someone at this company pitched a podcast called, "Are You Ladies Doesn't Chattering?" And I just think that's a wonderful name and a wonderful thing. - Ready? - Ready, here's my pitch on that. We, no one can end it besides us. (laughing) No one can do what you have to do as a producer and be like, we have to decide when we're done chatting. - Saline is like, what? - We're gonna be here just all night. - Some episodes are 10 minutes 'cause we're tired. And then some episodes are two hours. - Hour hours. - I love it. - Wait. - You guys can leave the cameras running. We'll turn them off when we're done. - Yeah, we know how. When we feel like the conversation is done, we just, there's one episode where we're both sleeping and it's 'cause, you know, my mom said this thing to me that I haven't forgotten about. - The thing that Angela does in her sleep, if she's thinking in a shoot day or something, you'll just hear her go, "Mm-hmm, totally." - I've never heard her do that. - I love it. You're an after-listener and Angela just, she cares about people feeling heard and seen and so even in her sleep, she is worried about it. - Damn, man. - There was, last thing I'll say, 'cause I know we have to end this 'cause ladies will be done chatting. - We will be done chatting. - But, there was, I am used to sleeping with my family, sleeping while the movie's going on and trying to act like I'm awake, going, "Oh yeah, no." And it somehow, it's followed me throughout all my life. And then in my senior year of acting class at UCLA, I would be asleep the whole time in the back. And then I trained, I don't know how, I was trained any laugh line, I go, "Ha, wow." - And our professor clocked it. My friend Rebecca will tell the story, she talks about it all the time. We're professor Andrew Borba, wherever you are, I love you, Andrew Borba. He go, "She knows, we all know she's asleep." - (gasps) - Yeah, she's acting like we can't see her. - (laughs) - Yeah, no way. - That's amazing. - This is the wildest facts I've ever heard about you. - So anytime I'm asleep, I don't, and people are awake. I do not want people to know what was sleep. - That's awesome. - And it runs deep. - It's not a thing I've decided, it's just a thing I know. We're like anytime I'm tired, anytime I'm watching a movie, I'm like, "Yeah, no." Oh my God, I have shared a room with you at VidCon. - Well, we're both out the world. - And we've had conversation. - You have not ever asleep talked? - Oh, I sleep talk. - But that seems for anybody. - Ladies, are we done chattery? - I think we're done. - I think for today, we're done chattering. - Guys, thank you for having us. - Thank you for having us. - Oh my God, I would have you guys any time. I love you guys so much. Thanks for drinking the sense air. - Thank you. - And thanks for having the chips. - The chips, yeah. - That was the only way I would stop talking. Guys, this was subreddits for women. If you want to see more of this, you will. - Smell so good. - Smell so good if you happen to. - You will. - You know what? - You will. - Because these ladies are not done chattering. And one day we'll let Shane back in. I'd probably not today, put in the comments if you want him to stay out there. - Yeah, and put in the comments if you have other subreddits for women that you want us to read from because we will. Okay, thank you, love you, goodbye. - Bye. - Get the damn small purse.
