#164 - Answering Reddit's Biggest Questions

Hey, welcome to Smoshmouth I'm Shane. Hey I'm Amanda and we have a really cool guest for those today. His name is Damien. Oh shit. Back again. My name is Damien Hyes, but it won't come up. Sure, dude. Probably. What? Damien, you're back. I'm back baby. You can't get rid of me. No, we actually can't. We actually can't. Oh, you can't. No, we can't. Okay, we left crumbs out. Not till you know the incantation. We got to know the incantation. We got it. No. What would be the treat that would lure you into a trap? Oh, can I guess like what would it be like if someone like a cookie crumble? No, it would. I don't think it's enough to be food. It could be anything because I think if someone's like, ah, they've got like a baby goat in the break room to like, oh, there you can hold a baby goat or any kind of like, oh, there's an animal. I'd be like, I want to see that. That would probably. Yeah. Yeah. It's like puppies in here. That would probably get me moving towards it. I also think like anything out of the ordinary enough. I'd be like, what? Like, you know, Tim who's our amazing IT person who keeps this channel running for a full decade. Um, if it was like, yeah, Tim's doing his dance routine. I'd be like, what's going to say that? I'm like, Tim does his dance routine in the break room. Yeah, he's been, he's been taking classes and I'm like, I didn't even know Tim was, I would go something. Imagine he does like a back flip. I can see it. If they were like, Tim's got his vest off and you look and you see just a glowing light coming from a room. I would run into there. Tim's a vampire. Yeah. He wears a vest every day. He, I've never seen him without it. That's awesome. I have been to a pool with Tim and he was still wearing a vest. Was it a life vest? He was no even better. But he was, he was wearing his typical vest with the button up underneath with swim trunks. That's great. You are literally lying. I am not lying. Look, if you got a thing that works and for Tim, it works. It really, it simply works. So the sun has not seen his chest ever. I'm sure at some point he takes it for the around those around those he loves and trusts the most probably, but, you know, we are, we are not of that. So stay on, do this or not, but it's he was born with a vest. Got it. Yeah. I wonder how many vests he owns. I would imagine 10. I was going to say somewhere around 10. That's a good quality. It's a good, does he, he has to dry clean those, right? Probably. I know. If he wants to. It's dry cleaner has to know him by name. Tim. He's like, what's up, Tim? They merely know him as sir. Yeah. Probably. Can you help me with my phone? I need something to be fixed. You're like, oh, oh, interesting. Maybe he gets free dry cleaning. Oh, that's a good point. Oh, maybe. And he just restarts their phone. They're like, oh, thank you. It turns it off and on. And he goes, yeah, now you just hook up to the Wi-Fi and they go, you are a brilliant man. I didn't even know we could do that. That's most things. That's true. Look, I had a meeting this morning with the company. I'm going to be doing a branded thing for. And my camera wasn't getting recognized. And I was like, oh, no. So I turned it off, unplugged it, re-plugged it back into my computer. And then there it was. And that was, it's that easy. It's like another thing. That's such a skill. Turn it off. Turn it on. No, I am jealous of Tim and so many people who are so good with technology. Yeah. Like to be really like actually in the weeds good with technology. Yeah, right. Like when Spencer will sometimes or you even will be talking to me about like, you'll get into like the nitty gritty of like hardware. And then I'll I'll be like, you're speaking a new thing. I'm done. Like, I don't know what's going on. I'm done. Tim, Tim, just as I know. Oh, sure. I remember when I first started at Smosh Games. I was so excited. I was like, ooh, I have like my motted weed. Like, I have all these cool things to share. And then Tim, like, immediately I was like, I'm impressed. Yeah, you were like, I have a motted weed and Tim was like, I have a gun that I built out of code. It's like matrix looking thing. Glitching out anyways. Anyways, we love you, Tim. Happy birthday, Tim. Whenever that is July. But speaking of solving problems, we are going to be answering some of the internet's questions today. Last week we were answering all of their cruise stupid questions. It was a great time. No stupid questions. No stupid. Well, yeah, they weren't nothing was stupid within that hour. But now that we're past that hour, I can call them stupid. They were pretty dumb. Yeah. Yeah. Anders, see me after class. Benny, keep it up. What are you doing? Benny. Benny, keep it going. But the good work. But today we have, Selena has gone through all of Reddit and found a bunch of big questions. Man, what is Selena sleep? She doesn't. She simply doesn't. Humans have to do it too. You have to turn them off. Turn them back on. She simply doesn't. How many, what's the average amount of hours everyone of sleep everyone gets? If you had to guess or if you know. I take it up. Six to seven. Unfortunately now. You know what? Someone's listening only to the audio and they know what just happened. I'm trying to be a professional and you guys need to stop it. What? You hear. You hear. Come on, man. Here we are. Fine. Six. I probably get about seven. I think if I'm like going to bed and I'm looking at my schedule and if I am at six and a half max, that's when I'm like, Oh, I'm in trouble any lower than a sermon. Sure. I imagine you get good rest because you do the you exercise and you go. Yeah, it's hard for me to hit eight. It is really hard for me to hit eight. I think six and a half to seven and a half is probably, like I'd say seven's probably the average. Sure. When we were traveling, I could hit 10. Yeah. My favorite is like nine. My, but I just can't. My problem is I hit a certain point in the morning where I cannot sleep past and I will try. I will try my hardest. This morning, for instance, I woke up at 5 a.m. and I was like, Oh, I can sleep another hour and I laid there and I just laid there and I was like, I can't sleep anymore. Not even me. I'm over the child. No way. And like I've fully set up for it. Like my cat gets up and he like, he cuddles and stuff. So I'm like, Oh, I should be able to like just chill and sleep. But I'll hang out for a half hour, but I'm like, I'm not going to sleep anymore. What are you thinking about in that first half hour? I'm not really even trying to like think. I'm just kind of like maybe my mind starts going random stuff all over the place, but I'm not stressed out. I'm not thinking about anything. Rest is important. Whatever form it takes. Like even if you can't get a sleep, closing your eyes and laying down is rest. Oh, yeah, restorative time. Yeah. That's what I hear. Is rest short for restorative time? Oh my god. I know. How is that possible? But I hit eight hours. I did get eight hours of sleep the other day and I felt it felt crazy. Wow. But I did it by going to sleep earlier. I was like in bed at 9 p.m. Yes. If I go to sleep earlier, I will still sleep to my normal time. I just can't sleep anymore. It's tough. It's those moments where like very rarely, like every couple of months, I might sleep way past an alarm and the morning sounds and all that good stuff. And I'll wake up at 11 and be like, what the hell happened? But it has to be one of those days where, you know, I never go out in the sun. But if I'm in the sun for whatever reason and I exercised and I like eight dinner early, whatever the combo is that it's just the natural like you were going to be cranked out. Yeah. It's pretty wild when I have mornings where I wake up at like five and Courtney can sleep in. Like she has that ability and I'm jealous of it. And so like a day, like a Saturday or a Sunday where I wake up at five and she sleeps until 10 and I'm like, she'll wake up and she's like, you've had like a whole day. Yeah. And I'm like, and I'm just sitting there and I'm like, and I've been playing video games for five. Good for you. That's your point. I'm like, I'm doing all this stuff. But no, like honestly, like it is my favorite thing. So I'm like, in my head, I've said this many times, I'm like, this time doesn't count. Yeah. Like I get to exist in a weird time that nobody considers. That's why I used to stay up to like three a.m. all the time no longer because I'm in my thirties, but you know, and I can't. But I'll die. Like I'm saying before we started this, there was a game that came out a couple years ago that it just didn't click for me right away. And I picked it back up the other day being like, maybe I'll try it again. I've beaten it two times in two days. Awesome. It's armored core six. And I have just like the little bit of time I've hit six, armored core six, the little bit of time that I've had. I've been like, I want to do this and I'm not going to feel guilty about doing this. Absolutely. I did. I love that. So Selena, what's what's the average amount of sleep you get? Because I think you're going to land at, I think you're like a seven liking one. Yeah. It's between six and seven. Nice. Six seven. Amanda. Hey, I'm here. Why here? Why here? Are you at early morning person? I'm not too early. I would probably naturally wake up around eight. But I don't go to bed until like midnight. Midnight is my bedtime. Yeah. Okay. When we were in Montreal, I was sleeping until like 9.30. I haven't done that in so long. And it felt so good. But then again, you're like, what? I'm having breakfast at 11. That's also my thing is I love mornings and I love breakfast. Same. I like, that's my favorite time. So I kind of want to be up for it.

But in the meantime, we will try to answer it. - We're going to answer it with our expertise. - It's always ready to ask. And today we're answering Reddit. How about Reddit listens? - I love that. How about that? - This first one comes from Ask Women Over 30. - Got this. - Love this subreddit. - Amanda, punch us at this one. I'll take a seat. - Yeah. - Which historical woman are you right or die for? And why? - Oh. - Whoa. - Oh, god. - Like historical meaning she's passed away. Like history. - Yeah, historical, like, like, you know, like famous historical figures that you're like, she's my, she's my number one. There's a lot. - The one that comes to mind, I forget her name embarrassingly. It's one that, like, just phases in and out of my brain. So please, someone help me with this. She is the person from whom all of our, like, medical vaccines have been derived. - Is it Mary Curie? - What was her name? - Was it Henry Alex? - Yes. - Henry Alex. - Henry Alex. - Yes. - Henry Alex. - Yeah. - She did why? - She was, like, her, she basically, like, her, her, her blood or genetic information. I, God, I'm gonna feel, this is so half-assed right now. I'm so sorry about that. - Okay. - It was used for a lot of, like, medical testing. I believe against her knowledge and will, which is awful. But it is, like, the basis around which a lot of vaccines and medications are made today. Am I fully bullshitting? - African-American women whose cancer cells are the source of the Helicell line, the first immortalized human cell line, and one of the most important cell lines in medical research. - Oh, shit, I'm so wrong about a lot of that. But she is awesome. - That's okay. Sounds awesome. - There's a book, there's a famous book on Henry Alex that I've seen, but I've heard a lot about her. Yeah, it's a good one. I was gonna say where my brain was going is, Mary Curie is certainly one. 'Cause I believe she's still one of the only, I think she might be the only person who's won a, is it a Nobel or a Pulitzer in two different categories? - I thought it was a Nobel. - Yeah, yeah, Nobel? - Nobel. - Nobel. - Nobel? - Nobel? - Nobel. - Nobel. - Oh, I also, people know we're big fans of Mary Shelley. Love that, she's total freak in a cool way. She wrote "Frame Shelley." - Mary Shelley is amazing. I never saw the, they did like a show, or like a movie of Mary Shelley. And I forget that the actor who played her, she was in "Handsmaid." - Oh, Elizabeth Moss? - Yes. - I'm a big fan of so many, there's so many women authors historically that I'm such a fan of. Some that I haven't even read, but I just love their story. Like "George Elliott" is, she wrote "Middle March" and she wrote it under the moniker of "George Elliott" and 'cause it was back in like the 1800s. And it was like this profound, best-selling book in a time when people wouldn't take women seriously as much. And I'm probably butchering this as well. I need to read "Middle March," but people still say it's like one of the greatest books of all time. But there's so many incredible authors. - I'm probably butchering it again, but I think it's "Junyatsso." She was that like old-timey, like Korean pirate lady that was like, "I'm gonna make it until you're free." - Oh, yes, Trevor. - Trevor brought her up. - Ben chin turd. - She's talking about pirates. - Dude, that Trevor kid is okay. - Yeah, yeah. - I did not know that, I was not familiar. - I looked her up after Trevor and I, you know, researcher and I was like, oh my god, she had like two over 200 chips or something crazy. - Yeah, that's big ol' flea. - I was gonna say, I read a book on her many years ago that was a big fan of Cleopatra is genuinely one of my favorite- - I was literally going to say Cleopatra as my first one. - The term writer dies kind of interesting. So I'm like, you know, with historical figures, especially ancient historical figures. I'm like, I'm just a fan of this figure. But she was, what I just love is reading about her is that she was renowned in ancient, like not ancient, but like in that time for like her wit and like her charisma and stuff. And like she was known like, it wasn't her beauty, it wasn't her beauty that was renowned. - Of course. - It was genuinely, it was like, no, if you go and have a conversation with her, you will be like in trance with how smart and how like all these Roman emperors were like, I wanna marry this woman. Like, it was really crazy. - I love that. - It was obsessed with her historical figure. - Yeah. - Nice. - But no, when I heard, 'cause I think there's a movie that's gonna be made when they were in there like, oh, it's gonna be Gal Gadot. I was like, come on, man. - No. - No, it needs to be. - No, no. - It needs to be the cast like truly like the funniest. - I will reveal. - Most charismatic actor to play her, 'cause that's the vibe. - Awesome. - But take everything else aside. Isn't Cleopatra like known for being a very like young, like wasn't she? - Probably, I mean, I mean, in the historical era, isn't she like? - She was probably a teenager. - Late teams early 20s versus like, I don't know what Gal Gadot is, but it's not that. - Yeah, no, probably. - Also, this is, I can't remember her name, but the architect who did Hearst Castle, what is her name? She, I don't know if you've been to Hearst Castle, it's in California, near Cambria. She's an architect, it's her life's work. She basically got all this amazing architecture from all over the world in Hearst Castle. So that's why Hearst Castle looks so kind of wild, 'cause it's all different cultures and these architecture and like the pool and everything. This was her life's work. She worked on it for like 20 years. - Julia Morgan. - Julia Morgan. - Julia Morgan, I think she worked on it for 20 years. - Hell yeah. - I don't know if she, you could say that she's a historical figure, but, you know? - I was looking up the answers on Reddit, what some people were saying. - Oh. - It's all sorts of historical figures. Someone said Ann Bolin. - Ann Bolin. - The other Bolin. - The other Bolin, sister. - Maybe it's like the writer die thing in the sense of like, I'm going to defend them or whatever. Like Ann Bolin knew what was up because that, that, that, that. - Queen, queen, queen, oh my God, I ain't not well right now. - Oh, someone said Margaret Hamilton. - Queen Elizabeth, the original original original back of the day. - Oh, the OG? - The OG, I don't know if she's awesome. - The Golden Age. - Someone said Margaret Hamilton, the woman who made landing on the moon possible at all. - Oh yeah. - It's another good one. There's all sorts of, someone brought up the pirate. - Okay. - Of course. - Millie Earhart maybe, I don't, the thing is, what are a Millie Earhart's true accolades? - She was, well, to the best of my knowledge, she was. - Is she the first female pilot? - I think she was just a also very, very good pilot. - Yeah. - She did a lot of like long distance things. - Yeah. - Um, but yeah, I guess I don't know. Yeah, I feel, I'm a little like gunshine now because everything I said about period of Lax was wrong. - Sure. - So please cut and hit historical-- - Don't be gunshine. I just said Queen Elizabeth, but I was thinking of the original Queen of-- - Mary Queen of Scots. - Mary Queen of Scots, thank you. I'm like, not Queen Elizabeth. I'm literally like, Margot Robbie played this person and it's Mary Queen of Scots. - Also, if you're a writer, die for Ambulin, that means you're not a writer, die for Catherine of Eragon. You gotta make that decision. - Yeah, make that decision. - Um, we're really gonna put her down. - I would say probably the number one, the one I'm seeing the most of, which is very valid is Harriet Tubman. - Oh, duh. - So what is wrong with us? - That was one I almost started beginning 'cause I'm like, that's gonna be two-- - It's like, it's obvious, like no shit, like sure. - It's not like, this is my surprise, writer, die. It's like, well, yeah. Yeah, total badass. All right, we want to move on to our next question. Yes, I'm gonna shake off here. Do you want to do you want to take it? Yes, I'm wrong a lot. Oh, yeah, I really am wrong a lot. I'm really not good with historical like specific historical facts I'm not good with it like I always have to reread and check up on my mind. I'm like okay, so the general vibe is this Yeah, I feel like if if something is sort of fresh in my mind within a month or two I'm like so excited to tell people about it, but now it just sure falls right out the other ear From our slash ask reddit. What is the best city you've ever been to? That's a great question That is a great question. Okay, I have a few that come to mind. Well pick one. Okay. I've got a few two best city That's city. Okay. Oh shit There's so many I can't pick one but I I could pick some wreck I could pick some wrecks of like cities that I and these are cities Obviously that are fun to visit like I don't know living in a place is very different than visiting Some of that one Scottsdale air is I'm going to go with tempi Arizona Edinburgh, Scotland was genuinely so cool. Oh, I loved that place so much hard agree Big fan of it and on the opposite end of that most basic Dude answer is Tokyo was also of just like Edinburgh felt like small and like cool I was like wow, I can really explore this whole city Yeah, walking around all day and there's still endless stuff, but um Tokyo felt like you're like Oh, I this is the city's bigger than the world somehow I I'm pretty sure this is city, but Belfast like I so We went to Dublin, Belfast and parts of Ireland and My husband I stayed in Belfast and I was like Belfast. I was just I absolutely loved it was so So cool so like the architecture the history. There's so much history there and I just I I loved it there I thought it was so cool. Cool.

I got engaged in Brooklyn like I love New York City So much and also like you you think you could explore New York City, but you you're never gonna get to all of New York City It's too big. It's too big. There's too many memories city like New York and Tokyo are daunting. Yeah, they're daunting Yeah, it's I don't know.

Yeah, I was like This is the oldest tavern bar in Boston. Yeah, we got to to go to Boston for one of our live shows this year It was so fun because and it really was I Hate to say this, but like about American cities, right? I was shocked by being like it's so clean It's and when you're in America when you're at someplace and it's clean You are kind of like what's going on here? Yeah, like you're not used to it because we're we live in LA And it is going to visit LA is dirty as hell. It's so dirty and so smoggy and I'm like what the hell? Yeah, yeah I mean I would I would echo Edinburgh. I would echo Tokyo Tokyo's fantastic the transportation alone is eye-opening when you live in Los Angeles and you drive everywhere That's huge. I loved Kyoto, but it's more of a place to visit. I don't know about living there But sure it doesn't have the like glitz and glam of Tokyo But it's it feels a little more like traditional, which is I think the intent Flip in love Boston flip in love Seattle and don't sleep on Chicago. I had a lot of Chicago. Chicago is such a Chicago is really cool. I didn't get to explore Chicago enough Oh, yeah, but I really liked it when I was there and we were there at a good time I love classic architecture and the cold and so What time of year were you there?

To start your free trial, that's Shopify.com/smosh. Now, back to the show. You did that. I did that. That was really cool. I have the power. Yeah. Just be careful. Use it wisely. Oh. I'm kidding. It didn't work. That's crazy. I got to work on this. Okay. Ooh. Reddit. Our Ask Women. Okay. Let's go. Let's get this. What's the most useless thing in your house you don't want to get rid of? My husband. My old father, Jane. My son. He eats me. He eats me. It's the most useless. I lost another toe. What am I saying? Tony, is he eating my. I don't know. What's the most useless thing in your house that you cannot get rid of? Yeah. Ooh. That you don't want. That you don't want. You're like, "I know I should get rid of this, but I'm not going to." Yeah. There's a few. There's a few things. Yeah. I've got my answer. Okay. You go ahead. You go ahead. I love doing like antique shopping and estate sale stuff and like random auctions. I haven't done it in a while, but I found there is a. It is a fake fireplace with two shelves like that one opens up and becomes like a little. Wet bar, dry bar. I always forget which it is, but like a little mini bar. And the other one is a record player, a turntable. Cool. And it's massive and I ended up getting it for $50 from 1970, built in West Germany. Like it's valued at a good amount, but like no one would buy this thing because it doesn't back into anything. There's no like indent in my wall, so it comes out like a foot and a half and the turntable doesn't work. I don't drink. So what's the point of the bar? And it's just there and it doesn't match anything. I'm like, "Oh, it's so cool." It's tough when you get like a really cool piece that doesn't fit in with the rest of your place. Yeah. You need one of those. Well, just take it. Maybe? No, not me. I don't want it. What do you mean? But you need one of those. Yeah. I'm trying to think I really keep it pretty minimal. I do keep it pretty minimal. I'm kind of with you, too, because I moved like, I don't even know a year and a half a go or two years ago, and all those things that I was like, "Oh, I love this. I've really like had to get rid of just because of space." Yeah. Yeah. But I do have one and we literally couldn't fit it anywhere. It's like an iron rod table is one of the first things I ever purchased when I got to LA. The guy was from Massachusetts, but selling it in LA. And it's like an iron rod table. It's a height that doesn't work for anything. Sure. You can't sit under it. You load a really use and put stuff on it and it's multicolored wood, but with these iron rods that hold it up. Do you destroy your toes on those rods? Yes. And if my son ever knocked it over, it would be game over. So it's outside with planted pots on it. Okay. Now, and it's kind of falling apart, but everywhere I've moved to, I'm like, it could fit here. It can't. It doesn't fit anywhere. Yeah. Isn't that such a bummer? But I love it. And I'm never getting rid of it. Yeah. Um, guess what the top comment was? What? Fireplace from the 70s. A wet, dry bar. No, it was my partner. And then do it. Someone did say a very valid one, instruction manuals for appliances. Whoa. Yeah. Oh. I get rid of those nuts. Not ins. I get rid of them. You buy a shirt and it comes with a spare button. Oh, yeah. And you'll keep it. And you'll be like, well, what if I lose a button? What if I lose a button? I'm not going to fucking. I don't know how to sew. I'm screwed. I know I can take it somewhere. But I'm just like, I got to figure it out. So buttons. You need just a. Nice. So what? So buttons. You need like a little, like, sundries cabinet, where it's just, here's a little box for all the random stuff I don't need. Having an everything drawer is a very useful thing. It is. But yeah. I agree. The instruction manuals are tough, though, because like, you can find them online now, too, and just download them. But every once in a while, it's like, if you get it off of a website and they no longer list the thing, it's like. Yeah. What do I do? What do I do? And it feels like, yeah, I know how to use this thing. But then there's always a function where it's like, well, if you hold down both of these buttons at the same time, it'll do a little. I know. while it makes your toast. And you're like, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I really look at those things that I'm like, we don't use this anymore. And we really get rid of them. We really go through a lot of things, and we go, nope, I need to do that. I'm trying to be more mindful when I buy things of like, how long am I going to. what is this serve in my life? Go ahead. Last thing I was going to say was, oh, is it my turn? Oh, sure. Last thing I was going to say was like, every, like, I still have a Game Boy Advance, a Game Boy SP. Not usually. And I know I'm like, I, but it's like, they just sit there forever until I'm like, but someday I will want it. Or, you know, whether or not you ever have kids or like, you know, your niece is a nephew. Sure. It's just like, I literally, oh my God, that's so crazy. I had a dream last night that I was giving my nephew Sega Genesis games to be like, you must learn the way. Whoa! That's crazy. Yeah. It's a sign. Okay. Okay. Ask an American. Finally. We're done with our guns first. Yeah. A minute to finish gun. Are the cities that GTA is based on justice charming in real life? Oh my God. This is funny. I think Miami's the only one that's that they got it. I kind of agree. They figured out Miami. San Andreas is like, um, is, um, it's, it's kind of San Andreas is kind of like Los Angeles and Vegas a little bit. But I thought of specifically either like, yeah, the GTA five is LA, but San Andreas is supposed to be. Or like, uh, it's not San Diego is like Oakland, is it, or something like that, right? I thought I had some desert to it. I don't know. But, um, so that by city, by city is Miami, Liberty City is New York. And then GTA five is Los Angeles. I don't know what, what it was called, but, but, um, yeah. That one was cool to play because it was like, aw, I know this, I know this area. Honestly, you know, there's funny things where we were walking, um, when we're on tour this year and we're walking around different cities, you will be walking through a city and someone will pass you and you'll catch just the snippet of conversation. Yeah. That you're like, wow, it really, it really is like that sometimes. Yeah. Or someone's on the phone and be like, yeah, I told them to fuck off and he's just like, oh, shit, it is GTA, like, oh my god, like, I was boarding a plane the other day and someone was on the phone like, I know, I know, baby, and you're right. But also, I'm upset because, listen, I have to go, I have to go. And it was just the most NPC style. So yeah, vice, uh, GTA is real. What I will say about, um, American cities, particularly Los Angeles and New York, um, and I haven't been to Miami in a long time. I was only there for like a day once as a kid, so I don't remember Miami. Um, I've only heard stories, so you don't forget Miami. Yeah. Miami I've heard is insane. You're at the drinking age. And you go to Miami. You'll never forget it. But, um, uh, something that I feel like, and I know this is true for a lot of cities. But like, people are just going to come up and talk shit to you in America. Like, when you're out in city, like, especially Los Angeles, if you're walking around like, if you're walking around Hollywood Boulevard, it's like, just like people, like, it's shit, like, you're going to see crazy shit. I think Hollywood Boulevard has to be kind of its own. It's like Los Angeles and general, first of all, the most unrealistic thing about those games. Nobody's walking around. It's true. There's a lot of people on the side. I guess you're right. It's not a walkable city. But, you know, people come up and start conversations sometimes. But when it's Hollywood Boulevard, that's when it's like, you know, can I see the inside of your mouth? And I'm just like, oh, that's okay. Like, oh, God. Hollywood Boulevard is, uh, you just never need to go. You really don't ever. You're really tourist and that even at the same time, it's like, don't go. But also, I'm like, tourists, you guys shouldn't be here. I will say that area's fun at like night when you want to go to like, like, the hotel and like get a drink. Like, hotel Roosevelt is, isn't it? It's just so. There's some really crazy older buildings, there's some awesome stuff there. But it's like, yes. I never have any desire to bummer. I hate Hollywood. I would go, I would go for like, drinks at like the hotel. I would, I'd be upset if someone was like, hotel Roosevelt, what? That. Well, also parking there doesn't exist unless you have just like 20 extra bucks going around. So that's always the thing too. It's like, yeah, we're going to meet up in Hollywood. I'm like, I am 35. And Davy Wayne's, uh, Davy Wayne's is, they just reopened, but they had a vermin problem. Oh, yeah. The owner. Yeah. My husband. No. My lady. Um, all right. I'm going to drop this back in because it's another ask women over 30 and I think I will come on. I mean, I'm down for it. But I feel like you haven't drawn any of those. No, no. Go ahead. You choose whatever you want. Okay. You do whatever you need to do. Do whatever you want. This episode of Smosh Mouth is sponsored by Stitchfix. Fall has arrived. Leaves are crunching on the ground.

Product got better over the years. Is it like they're making a new version of it or is it like, oh, I'm glad I have this and it's so lucky. Let me see if you get context from the answers. Let me see if I can get some context from these answers here. My husband got better. Someone said batteries, leaps and bounds we've made in that space in the last decade or so. So products that have updated. Oh, it's someone said cordless anything and that's also true. Electronic things just devices are just way better. You guys still get them? How bad do you miss it? Not that bad. There you go. Okay, someone said, someone said flat screen TVs and I'm going to counter that. Are you? I'm going to counter that. I know flat screen like TVs when I was a kid were the most expensive thing in your home. It was like we're saving up or buying. We're buying a TV and this is a huge deal that we're buying a TV. And we better hope this thing lasts for 15 years. Whereas nowadays they are just comparatively, relatively so much cheaper than they were back then. But I fucking despise smart TVs. And why do all older people have smart TVs? Because they're cheap and that's all you can get. It's hard to get one that doesn't have like an update all the damn time and all this stuff and ads and everything. And I'm like, leave me alone. Your screen drives me nuts. That one I'm like that shouldn't be legal even a little bit. I'm so mad. What I do understand for some smart TVs is like in the years leading up to that. Also someone who, this is someone who used to work customer support for a streaming service. I would always get questions of like, how do I get the Roku on my TV? Like it's like you got to buy the Roku device or you got to plug it in. Like I've got a Chrome, Google Chrome cast. What do I do with it? And I'm like, well you have to cast from your phone. Having it on a TV, I still think those same people are going to have a little bit of an issue. But at least you can be like, pick up your remote and click the thing as opposed to, okay, you're going to want to like wire the blue wire to the green one, snip the red one. Is that talking into your remote too? I hate that shit. Yeah. Oh, I don't want any of that. I love my mom, but my god. Breaking bad. Breaking. Breaking bad. The news show on HBO. Moneys, Modes got money problems. Apple TV. Look, I'm like, it's almost, and here's the deal. People can voice the text, but voice the text, people do it better, but like the talking into the remote situation drives me crazy. Absolutely. Crazy. Yeah. No, man. You nailed it. Breaking. Breaking. Bad. I don't know where it is. I'm like. Just click on the thing. Just click it. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. I would also say. Me or you? Headphones. Headphones are super good. There's almost like a bell curve to it where it's like if you find those really heavy like over-ear headphones from the '80s, it's like, that's awesome. You're going to plug it right into like the big fat ox cord kind of deal. Yeah. But like, I don't know. Airpods are great. I was against them for the longest time. I wanted my normal headphones that plug in. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But god, the noise cancelling and the sound quality, it's just, it's really good. It is really good. Yeah, the AirPods are the best. Yeah. My mom also got AirPods and boy, oh boy, the amount of time she'd been like, hey, how's it? I'm like, mom. It's because she put in her headphones. She, no, she's clicking it. She's like just touching it and hanging out all the time. Oh, but they're the best. They're fun. Yeah. Okay. Ask women over 30. Oops. I got it. That's wild. Woo. How do you say no to someone wanting to borrow money? I thought the women questions are so serious. That is actually pretty good. God, they can't take a joke. Like literally. Come on. That is a pretty good question. That depends on the amount of money. It depends on the person. I, I have said this. I'm a firm believer. And I've not been put in too many tight binds with this type of stuff, but I, I am kind of with the opinion, don't lend someone money unless you're expecting to never get it back. Because I'm just like, man, every, and that's more based on the stories that I've read and heard from people, but I'm just like, yeah, and like, that's tough. And I like the amount of times people do not get money back to people who are like fast enough. I, I'm okay with letting people borrow money, but I do have to, it depends on the amount, but I do have to be like when I do need to be like, I'm going to say goodbye to this money for a certain amount of time. Yeah. But you can have like a, okay, pay me back on this, but like, I don't know. You're right. You kind of just have to like, let it go. And I'm not talking like 20 bucks or something like that. That, that, if someone's like, hey, can I borrow 20 bucks? At that point, I'm, I am the type that's like, oh, I'll just, I'm like, I'll just buy it. Like, or I'll just take it like whatever. It's yours. I'm someone who doesn't have to worry about that amount of money, but I'm like $10,000. But if someone's asked for over, over, I think I'm like thinking like, what's the number for me where I'd be like, whoa, okay, this is a lot. And it's like, and it also depends on who it is. Sure. To me, it's family. It's always going to be family, right? Like, it's always like a trusted friend, like a real trust friend. Like someone who's close to family, because if you get outside of that, it's just like, oh, man, I'm sorry, I can't do that. A new roommate. But if it's like, if it's someone you're close with, that's where it's tricky, because it's like shit. It can get a little messy. A thousand bucks. Like, anything like that past that, it's kind of like, oh shit, you need a thousand dollars. That means you need to get a thousand dollars, and then, like, you're clearly in a bind, and then it's kind of like, okay, it really depends. There's so much context there. How do you say no? How do you say no? I was just going to say that. I don't think there's a way. Besides, I'm sorry, man. I can't. Like, I'm sorry. Like, but there's no, it didn't work out well for me and I'd like to keep our relationship. No. But if you're in that position, that might be the end of that relationship. It's tough. Obviously, if someone's asking, they probably really need it, but it's-- Exactly. It's nerve-wracking. It's going to change the relationship no matter what, because you're going to have to check in and be like, hey, did you make a thousand extra dollars this month compared to, like, if so, you would have to have a real plan to have them pay it back, but in my mind, I've thankfully not been asked for something crazy like that, but it's not a matter of like, are you willing to lose it? It's more that, like, I would rather-- I guess it's in theory because I've never done it, but I would almost rather just give someone, like, if they, like, need 200 bucks and I'll pay you back, I'd be like, I would rather take the hit and just give you 200 dollars and not have that for myself than worry about-- Definitely. If I have it and I trust you, like, it's yours and-- but it's like-- it's also like a bit of respect, too. It's like, are you going to pay me back? It's kind of like, if it is-- I don't know. It's a case by case. It's definitely a case by case. This post has more context to it. Another edit-- let me see if they're-- let's see. Okay. 30-year-old woman, it's an older sibling. They're notoriously bad with money. They even said they can't ask anyone else. They are promising to pay me back, but I doubt that will happen. And money aside, I don't want to become someone who helps them financially, even a little bit. But I know saying no will cause a shit storm and they know if they say something mean I might cave, because they can get incredibly mean with their words. I don't hear from him unless he needs something. We are not close, but what kind of sister does that make me if I don't help him? But also, what kind of person does that make me if I do? He didn't even specify how much money he wants to borrow. How can I say yes without knowing the amount? It's like he's setting me up. I really struggle with setting boundaries, and it's like I need confirmation that I'm not a terrible person if I say no. Saying no is not your problem here. It's not-- you're like wondering how to say no is not the issue. There's so much more going on here. The older sibling will be mean to me, and he might do that, and I might seek approval. It's like shit. The person needs to just say no, and figure out that relationship. Whenever you're with someone who's related, and not even close to him, but a manipulator, the best that you can do for them is to not let them get away with that, because he's going to keep getting away with that. For him to not specify the amount, that's shady as hell. Absolutely. I can't ask anybody else, which means he's already exhausted his resources. Yeah. Yeah. He's cutting off everybody else. That's one of those where it's like you need to cut contact with those first parts. You need to punch them. You need to cut them. Yeah, stop treating people and interacting with people based on what they could be or should be. as they are. How were they showing off like if he's bad with money and manipulates you, you have your answer. This next one's for ask women. What are some of the best? Don't read it. Oh, it's only for me. Actually, Amanda, I think you are the only one who can answer this. What are some of the best smuts to read? Oh my God. Men read smut too. I know, but it was on ask women. Best smuts to read. I've never talked about this. You probably have talked about it. Smuts. Smuts. What are your top three? There's classics. Obviously Court of Thorns is like a classic classic. I feel like that's a good entry into Smut. That's what you're interested in. What are some of the questions actually, if I may? I have a list. I ended up seeing a recommendation for priori of the orange tree and I bought it. I heard it's really good. Is that a smut? It's not a smut. I'm going to be honest and it's in a claimed book. I was a little underwhelmed by it. Really? It's long as hell and I felt for how long it was. I didn't feel there was enough going on. It felt like a lot of build up and not much. Not a lot of oranges. Not a lot of oranges in there. Very well written. Incredibly well written. I just was underwhelmed by the story. That's me personally. You might be different. I know Quicksilver was really smut. But the thing is I didn't like the second book. Bridge Kingdom. I loved. I would say, oh blood and steel. That series is so fucking good. It's really epic. It's really badass women and it's also quite a smut. Yeah, I also have priori of the orange tree on here to possibly get. That what you meant? Priority orange tree. There's this huge series called Blood and Ash. There's so many books and I actually started it and I will say I think it's like I do not finish for me possibly because it's just so long. Yeah. It's so long and sometimes you kind of just want to like move on to the next thing but it is. There's some really fun smut in that and I'm also reading Receiver of Many which sounds really sexy and it is but it's Hades and Persephone smut. Got it. But it's also very very focused on Greek mythology and where everyone places in it and it's like very interesting. Pomegranate seeds into the bedroom. Why? Because that's why we have winter season. It's Persephone has to stay in the underworld for. Don't tell me I don't actually know much about her. Oh shit. Well then you asked. Never mind. Well I didn't know about the pomegranate seeds. That's your fault. Wait. Okay. Tell me actually. I only know this stuff because of Hades. It's. Oh yeah, for sure. Yeah. She ate if you she ate like six pomegranate seeds or whatever while visiting the underworld for some reason and that's now she has to stay in the underworld for as many months as she ate seeds. So that's why we have winter months and summer months. Oh interesting because the way this story is kind of set is like Zeus promised his daughter Persephone to Hades. Interesting. That might have also been the start of the first place but like. I mean maybe this is just this author's take. Maybe. But that's oh serpentine wings is pretty good. It's like vampire. I've seen that one as well. That one's that one's actually less money more story. I would say that one's really good. I'm always it's always funny whenever I read like the main popular stuff right. Like maybe some of the like acotars or some of these other books when people online are like oh my god it's crazy and then I read it. I'm like guys this could be way crazy. I'm gonna be honest with you. Let me tell you me. Maybe I'm maybe deep in my head. I'm crazy. But I'm like bring in the demons. Come on. Angels come on. It's my biggest book. A smutiest book I've ever read that I was like stunned by is I think the fifth book in Acotar. Okay. Oh. Yeah. Silver flames. Okay. Well. All right. Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ. Okay. So those are just my top but trust me. There are you're reading all you're reading everything. I'm reading everything and also like it doesn't just need to be smut. Like I love you. I love. Oh of course everyone's obsessed with fourth wing. Of course. Is that smut? Yes. Oh. But I will say and sorry this is an honest review. I felt the smut to be a little bit repetitive. Oh okay. I was like he's doing the same thing. And then they fucked also again. He's doing the same thing. But that's gonna be a show on Amazon. I could be Jordan's company. And then he done fucked me once. And then he done fucked me and lightning in the sky. It's like okay. Here it comes. Client. Client. Client. Client. Client. Also so did the clouds. All right. Here we go. We got our slash ask man. Oh. Let's hear it. It's fucking go. What what's that penis about? Do you use bitches? Why does my penis hurt? Hey, my penis is sore. What happened? My my dinger pulled back in. Is that okay? What's the male equivalent of men in women-dominated fields? Or I guess it would be the other way around where it's like the male equivalent of women in male-dominated fields. So it's like a man who's succeeded in a field that like most like men are not really in that field. Is that what I think so? Okay. Okay. Hold on. Let me think. Let me think. This is just a question to make us check our privilege. However long we're silent like. Yeah. So it's usually a woman-dominated field. But men are mainly in it. Is that what the question is? It's like oh goodness gracious. Hair salon. Yeah. Which I feel like it's crazy that. Oh okay. They're talking about men-dominated. They're talking about they said like a kindergarten teacher. How dare they? Human resources. Shut up. Someone said PR. Enough. Librarians. Oh my god. F you. You could be a librarian. I could be a it's a hard job. I've heard it is very difficult. Yeah. Just just so many people. It's true. Yeah. I would say I mean it's less and less common now that it's like dominated by a specific gender. But I'll see more and more flight attendants that are men. Uh-huh. And everyone's in the wall. You see like a lead flight attendant that's a man who's like I've been doing this for 58 years. Yeah. Jesus. We love him. And we love him. Make-up artists. Make-up artists. Yeah. And that's. I don't actually know if that's a male-dominated field actually. And that is. It is tough. Because I was I'm thinking about like make-up artists in hairdress so many are men out here. And I want to be like fashion designers but it's like no. That also there's a. Tim Gun. Yeah. Specifically being Tim Gun. Just Tim Gun. Someone said male romance authors. Oh. And what's there? There's plenty. But like. I do so interested in Smutty. It was like a book. A Smutty Mail book written by a man. Yeah. I'm actually so interested. It's fascinating. I would say. She's on top. And every every see. And it's crazy. I woke up and she was just on top. She was just doing it. She woke me up with a blowjob. It's so crazy. And there's no talks to mountain. I came home and like the best food was out in a beer and like she was again on top. And I saw the back of her head every night because again I was from behind. I think no dragons just me a regular guy. No powers again. It's a one more dragons exist but you never see them. And it'll be like busy. By the way I heard there was a dragon the other day. That's crazy anyway. And she goes there's dragons but you know what? I do not want to bond and mate and become a powerful woman with a dragon. I just want to get on top. She's his name is Richard. I was gonna say Richard. Really? That's crazy. Good short is dick. I think I think it would be a male it would be a woman dominated field if it's mostly focused on like heterosexual romances or whatever. Like I think if it's specifically about gay men. Oh sure. You don't sleep on gay smut. There's so much gay smut. Right but isn't he didn't know. He isn't saying he's a rivalry written by a woman. What's that? Isn't he a rivalry written by a woman? Yee. Probably. But I'm just saying I'm just saying in general I think it would be more of a surprise if it was like focused on mostly heterosexual romances. Yeah. Written by a man in a way that is not exactly what you just described. Yes. But honestly I want to read it. I'm ready for the challenge. I want to see. Yeah. I think there obviously I fully believe there's a dude out there who is probably writing good smut books. I haven't heard about it but I'm sure like anyone's capable of writing anything like that but no it had me it had me thinking about am I right? He did rivalry is written by a woman. Yeah and like I remember that being like a big discussion point online. I'm just like oh it's all these men sleeping with each other but it's written by a woman. I wonder if there's any situations where it's the reverse of what you talked about earlier where it's like oh it's actually a pen name where because this man was like oh people aren't gonna like my romance book. Yeah he became. I don't know. Listen you want to read it right of romance book and your guy let's do it. I'll give it a chance. Yeah. Do you want to pass me the bowl or is it his turn? You can have the bowl this round. Ask men over 30. What are your recommended evening analog hobbies? And a log, of course. that had to be thrown in that. - And a log. - Okay, so not. - And a log hot. - So, analog means not. - Fighting. - And video games move me into the issue. - She's on top. - 12 o'clock. - 12 o'clock. - Oh. - Or at 12 o'clock. - Or at 12 o'clock. - She's doing a T-pose. - Two and 10. - Oh, no. - She just like, like, like, like, four and 10. - Yeah. - One and 11. - Just arms right up. - Have you ever done arms straight up in the air pose? - Did she just stick the landing? - It's like, yes. - That is so analog of her. - My god. - 10 and 2. - Oh, a stop Amanda. - Stop. - That's crazy that you said that. - This guy character's taking over you guys. - I don't like it. - It's not me. - Scary. - You in-chance are somehow the most toxic, like, straight dudes at Smosh. - I agree. - 'Cause it's crazy. - I agree. - And you're correct. - I agree. I need, like, a little cute little mustache, though, to feel really toxic. - Okay. - And I love my sashes. - Yeah. - I love men. - Okay. - Neat. - Just relax. Keep going. - What? - What are your favorite evening analog hobbies? So not counting movies, TV shows, video games, couldn't be me. - No, I'm kind of like that. - Neat. Yeah. - Really, it's a lot there. - Honestly, petting my cat. That's a great one. - That's it. - Petting your pussy. I'm sorry. - Yeah, I'm so sorry. - She's still a little weird. - I'm so sorry. - Sorry, you have to leave. - Yeah. - I mean, I'm a big reader, so that's obviously there. I will say I wish I want to get back more in the habit of drawing, I love drawing, just like doodling, not putting pressure on it, just like some silly, and there's something valuable sometimes about like really like sitting down, either with like a cup of tea or like a glass of wine, and not having anything. - Yeah. - And just really just like sitting. - Love that. - Like, I do think like the art of conversation too is like such a lost thing too. - You know, like really, like sitting down with someone just talking, like that's a fun hobby, like genuinely. And that's great. - I'll come over and talk to you. - Talk some shit with your cat. - Yeah, you wouldn't believe the bullshit. Also like making magic, the gathering decks. - Ooh, that's a good one. - Making. - Like yeah, 'cause you have a bunch of cards, and you put them together to make it like a new deck, and you're like, oh cool. - Oh cool. - This is my vibe that I'll play with this time. - That's really cool. - It is a big hobby amongst a lot of people here at Smosh. - And a lot of voice actors, there's a lot of, like if you want to socialize with a voice actor, all like magic, you're like, hey, you play magic, and then there's 10 of us. - That's awesome. - And then honestly, big fan of cooking. - Oh sure. - Cooking is so much fun. When I have enough time in a day, where I'm like, oh, I can really cook a new recipe. It's so much fun. - Mm-hmm. - It's kind of perfect for me because like my problem with some of the other hobbies is like, then you have like a thing. I'm like, well, no, I have to keep this forever. Whereas cooking is great 'cause you do all this stuff, and you're like, what's this result gonna be? And then if you do it and you nail it, it's perfect, then you eat it and it's gone. - Or you just throw it away? - Or then I just throw it right in the trash can. - It's great. - And let's make sure to cook a whole meal again. Just so you know, I don't want you to get rusty. We'll throw it out. (laughing) - I love that. - Yeah. - I would say, 'cause I'm gonna answer this one too. - My favorite thing, and H and I haven't done it in so long is we used to play backammon for hours. - Dude, a board game is legit. - And play backammon and with tea or wine or whatever, it's like literally my favorite. - Courtney and I got so into Yachty. - Yachtsy? - Yachtsy. - Dude, Yachtsy's a fun one because you're kind of like, like I had a game, I had a game where I got, I want to say three or four Yachtsy's. That's one game, I had a score that was stupid that I look at and I'm like, we're never gonna beat this, like it's so much fun. And I've had just terrible luck since. My scores have been dog shit. - I can't even remember how to play Yachtsy. - It's really fun, you're just, you're just going through, it's basically like poker, you're trying to get every type of role. You're trying to get three of a kind, four of a kind, you're trying to get four of a kind, five of a kind, a small straight, a long straight. And so every turn you need to get one of these types of roles. And so as you keep going, you get less and less options. And then Yachtsy's when you get all of one number and you get several roles to try to stack it up. - I think it's like three. - But that's why when we did Yachtsy on the channel and Trevor got Yachtsy. - I still hear that high pitch in my such a big deal. And I wasn't in the video, but I just hear the Yachtsy, but like three Yachtives up. - You might go games, like multiple games without getting a single Yachtsy in your whole group. So it's a big deal, hey, that's just life. - I love four games. - Do you like gloom, have you ever played gloom? - No. - It's one of my favorites, it's fun. It's basically, it's good to play with improvisers. You have like, you pick your family, quote unquote, and you have like five family members in front of you and they all have like their little things where it's like cousin Ethel and, you know, father, whatever. But it's all about like who can negative talk the worst. Do you want to get the lowest score possible? So you'll basically play a card where it has like minus 20 on it and you're like, oh, did you hear about cousin Ethel? Oh, I'm so sad in my family. She was bitten by a dog in it. She turned rabbit, poor cousin Ethel. And then you play another card that you can play on someone else's, but someone might play a positive on theirs where it's like, oh, I'm sorry to hear about Ethel turning rabbit, but didn't she meet a handsome young doctor in the veterinarian's office plus 30? And so you're trying to like boost up other people's families while telling everybody, you know, oh, you want to be the shitty. - You want to be the shitty negative family game? - It was very fun. - That's so good. - I love that. - We should play that on the channel. - We did once a long time ago, but I'd be down to do it again. It's, there's also one card that I recommend as a house rules you remove, 'cause it basically is like, kill that family member. Oh yeah, and once all your family members are dead, that's when the game ends. So you want to lock them in with the lowest score. - Do you win if all your family members are dead? - If you have the lowest score, so it's literally don't win. It's like, I want my family to have it. - Don't win the card game. - That's so funny. - That's awesome. - Yeah, it's so funny. I don't give any chances to play board games outside of work. Like I play most of my board games here. - Oh, I got it. - Okay. - I would love that. - Great. - We're running out of time, but I wanted to say on the topic of board games, something I'm really proud of is when I'm reading comments or like seeing posts where people talk about playing, like fans playing board games that we've played on board AF. - Yeah. - And they're like, what games did they play that just, they're like, man, this game actually was not fun to play. Like we made it look good. And they're like, I'm very proud of it, 'cause there's plenty of games where I'm like, oh, we make it look like a good time. - We basically, I feel like how we have so much fun is we do like an improv game on top of a game where we're like creating characters or relationships or we're creating roles for ourselves. - Yeah, I'm very proud of it, 'cause there's some games that we have a, like we have a good time. But like afterwards, we're like, that game, that game was dumb, but boy, we made it look good. I'm very proud of that, 'cause yeah, some games I think about it and I'm like, if I played that just casually at home with people, we'd be like, let's-- - Let's like that thing that you're like, oh my god, we played this really fun game on that channel. Let's play it now and you're just like, you're explaining it and everyone's like, that's what it is. - Yeah. - You're like, yeah. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Just have a bunch of awesome improvisers. - It's my flip seven. - It's so good. - Oh, dude. - It's just perfect things. - You can play with anybody. It's such a good game. - Yeah. - Anyways. - Wow. - Well, that was fun. - Yeah, thanks for having me. - We still have questions left in the-- - Oh, but it's fun. - Such as. - Such as. - We'll do one last one. - Such as, where's the body? - We'll say one sentence. - Oh, okay. - Anyone else run extremely hot all the time? Yes, I'm a furnace. - Nope. - When I was pregnant, yes, now I'm fine. - Did you consider that? Yeah, I didn't even think about it. What is your-- - I was pregnant. - What's your whole life? - Expressed in one simple sentence. There you go. - What? - What is your deepest philosophical question expressed in one simple sentence? - Why? - We do this. - Damn, nailed it. - All right, if you're looking for-- - Why is good, yeah. - If you're looking for yourself, then who is searching? - Whoa, and with that, thank you, Damian. - I think I got that off TikTok. - Bye, Shane. - All right. See you guys later. Goodbye. - Bye. - Bye. - Bye.
