Hello, it's Dan and Andy here from No Such Thing as a Fish, your favorite new podcast that you haven't heard yet. That's right. We're a podcast. It's been going 10 years. And each week we bring four of the best facts we've heard that week to the table to blow each other's minds as well as yours. Here's a fact, Dan. Did you know that the people of Iceland can use 95% of a cod? They're just working on that last 5%. If you want to find out how they do that, why they do that, and why we're talking about that, check out. Now, no such thing as a fish, wherever you get your podcasts, now. I should say, despite my fact having cod in it, this is not a podcast about fish. It's about everything.

I just happened to pick one of the worst and most confusing facts possible. Tera! Do we used to wear, like, headphones for this? We never do. Oh. A bag full of goodies? Do you bring props? Dricks.

Hell yeah, man. Just let me know what you want. Okay. Hey, all right. Or roll it? Oh, okay. I think nobody would judge you for drugs. So if I pulled out some crack right now, would you just partake?

Look, man, if someone's dealing with any form of cancer, I'm like, do it. Hi, welcome to Smoshmouth. I'm Shane. I'm Amanda. I'm Angela. Hello, it's Dan and Andy here from No Such Thing as a Fish, your favorite new podcast that you haven't heard yet. That's right. We're a podcast.

It's been going 10 years. and each week we bring four of the best facts we've heard that week to the table to blow each other's minds as well as yours. Here's a fact, Dan. Did you know that the people of Iceland can use 95% of a cod? They're just working on that last 5%.

If you want to find out how they do that, why they do that, and why we're talking about that, check out no such thing as a fish, wherever you get your podcasts, now. I should say, despite my fact having cod in it, this is not a podcast about fish.

It's about everything. I just happened to pick one of the, worst and most confusing facts possible. Tera. And today we are joined by an incredible guest. How incredible. The most incredible, frankly. Keith League Jr. is here.

I'm back. I'm alive. I'm not dead yet. Oh my God. He's going. I was a close call, motherfuckers. Oh, my God. But I'm still here by the grace of Wu.

God. Hey. Come on. How are you feeling? How am I feeling? Yeah. You know, people have asked me that a lot. Every day.

Every day. I feel good. I feel good. I feel better than I have. And a while, like my whole summer was taken from me, but I got it back. Well, I didn't get it back. I mean, it's kind of like fall now, right? Is it fall?

I mean, it's 105 degrees here every day right now. It's summer. It feels like Halloween is joining summer. Summer starts in August now, in L.A., right? It gets so friggin' hot And it's like 100 degrees in October Also though, did you guys go to school In August? I always went in September

August, I'd won in August It would be like the very end of August Sometimes that we would start See I'm hearing like kids are starting school Like at the beginning of August It varies by region Okay I think I remember when I was a kid

I don't understand that I remember as a kid like talking to like cousins They'd be like oh we start in like The beginning of August And like that's wild Why does it have to change for a region? I don't know I'm from Ohio and we started

at the beginning of October. I mean August. I'm thinking about my birthday, my bad. Anyway, you were saying how you were feeling before I interrupted you and talked about months. Oh, no, no. Sorry, no. I'm feeling great. Can I just thank everybody who donated, who shared, who sent kind words,

all of it means so much. You know, I'm just extremely grateful for the amount of people, too, that like showed up and showed out. So I've obviously been going through it. I mean, you see me on social media and that I don't think it doesn't reflect how I truly, how I've truly felt throughout these past

couple months. But for people to show up and show out the way that they did, I'm like extremely grateful. You guys have given me a cushion that like honestly I didn't know where it was going to come from or how, but you guys did it in like less than a day. Like the and then continue to surpass it, you know, and then it went around again and it's just like, oh my God, like people actually care about my life. And I made a post, and I was saying, like, I gave up hope, you know, so many times, but, like, you guys make me feel good. Now, it doesn't change anything.

You guys didn't heal me of my cancer. Sure. Damn it. But you guys definitely gave me. There's a little bit more money and we can. Yes, yes. The world was there. Just continue to give to the co-phone me.

I feel like there's five people in this room right now. And we all give $20. We're going to pass the basket around. We're going to lock the doors. It's five people in this room. $20, $20. We're going to close our eyes. Raise your hand if you haven't given it yet.

Yes. If you haven't given, we're here. Yes. Oh, my God. That is church. Straight up church. That is church. I feel so bad.

Are we supposed to talk about? Oh, my God. That is church. I don't know. The close your eyes and raise your hand thing was so real. If you feel led to give 100. Hey. Watch your eyes.

Reach your hands. hands into your pockets. Oh my God, I'm feeling something. If you feel, if you're here and you feel led to give $100 right now, get that shit. Oh, sorry. You have to do a master character. I haven't seen you. I bet you have at some point.

I definitely. Yeah, back in the day, back in the day. But I will say, it was so fucking cool. I remember texting Keith being like, wait until you go to bed and you wake up. Just because, like, I just think we talk about our fan base so much, but like, it's just never enough to talk about, like, how, like, when there's a tangible thing. that's like like I love when we do charity streams and everything because it just makes the numbers mean something yeah yeah it's like we like it is a youtube channel so we talk about like numbers

and reach for everything but when the numbers and reach have like a fucking massive meaning i don't know it's like it just reminds me you do kind of become like blind to it in a way right where we see the we see the numbers and then we sometimes are like oh well it's not that big like oh no there's not many people watching like you just see the number yeah and then and stuff like with what your go fund me you're like oh my god it was unbelievable to see it in real time you know like i knew that we would get to the the the the goal but not that fast yeah you know what i mean like i didn't know if we were going to have to do a live stream or something to like to push it over the edge you know i i didn't know just to see the support to feel the

support guys i thank you through and through and through um i'm just i'm extremely grateful i'll say it over and over again you you're helping me live a little longer It is funny, though, I wanted to ask you, because I said, like, how are you feeling right at the top of this? And it's funny, like, do you feel like you can't casually be asked, like, what's up? Because you have to say, like, this morning I looked at you and I was like, what's up, how are you? And I didn't mean to be like medically, how are you doing right now? They're like, vibing. Yeah, but do you feel like you can't?

No, so the other day, I actually filmed a podcast with Patrick. Okay. Patrick, who used to write for us here, right? And he was like, Keith, how are you? And I'm like, cancerous. But then And then we didn't talk for a whole hour So we're doing his podcast somewhere in the car

And you know Of course he asked me that like three more times And I said how many more times do I have to tell me Like That's the thing people ask you that shit's like Come on y'all Like I'm doing good I'm doing good

Okay I got cancer I'm good I'm good What do you want me to say What do you want me to say It's talked about it on the The interview that Amanda did an amazing job, like, I'm hosting, you know, it's like certain things became triggers, you know, certain, you know, like, how are you? It's just like, I'm doing as good as I can.

It's like, keep going. I'm, I'm here today. I showed up. Like, I'm going, you know. But, you know, those same triggers are, you know, they're not really supposed to be triggers. It's just, like, I'm going through it and I'm triggered. You hear something every day, you're going to get tired of it. Yeah, yeah. No matter how good the intentions are. Yeah, you get tired of that shit. Yeah. I really, I was always so amazed at how much, like, you, you didn't really, like, want it, you didn't let it dominate your life. Like, I still remember when, like, we did the Telatubbies reunion. And, like, you were in pain. But, and we were like, hey, you don't have to do this. And you're like, no, I'm going to do it. And, like, you just weren't, you were never, like, making it known. You weren't, like, I don't know. If it was me, I'd have been complaining nonstop. Well, part of it is, like, when they were. cameras on y'all it's like it's turn it it's a time it's a time to entertain you know it's time to entertain it's time to be on and it also kind of takes away the pain in the sense like i might feel it later on

just because i might have overextended myself but at the end of the day it's just like damn like i'm on i get to play you know i mean i'd rather play and like be in some pain than like just sit on my couch for like a long period of time like i remember sitting on my couch for like a i would to say maybe a week and I did not go outside. People had to come over and like take out pork chop, you know, pick up pork chop shit, you know, on her little pad in the

corner. Because it was just hard to do things. It was really hard to do things. So don't catch cancer, bitches. Don't catch it. All to say, going around like a cold these days. That's the reality of it. I just like you're still so

like, I can't even think about you doing summer games. Like you're just so fucking funny no matter what you're just like I was a little late but other than that look I showed up I was I was a little late here and there you guys you were late before cancer yeah that's what I'm saying yeah man like you guys know come on you were late before you said I was so professional I'm like I was a little late you know I have been doing better I have been doing a lot better oh yeah I've seen something recently where I was like I hate people who make being late of their personality I'm like It's not a part of my personality.

It's just truly who I am. Okay, so it's a part of you working out. All right, so we take that back, what we said. Oh, God. Sorry, guys. Sorry, production. No, man. You're awesome.

But, okay, honestly, speaking of safe spaces. Yeah, safe space. Like, this table, this three, I need to be safe for what we're doing today. Yeah. I can't promise that. My fingers are crossed. Okay, so this idea for today's episode came because the, the first episode that Angela and I did together a couple weeks ago,

we brought up a couple things that we didn't know anything about. We were just like talking. And Angela brought up like, do animals have identical twins? Oh, wow. And it was something I never thought about. Now, a lot of our viewers thought we were talking about do animals birth multiple babies. I'm not talking about the litter. So everybody's like, oh, they have litter, stupid.

And we're like, guys, we're talking about identical twins. Yeah, that's interesting. Would you look at a twin? Would you look at the Da Vinci twins and say, are you guys in the same litter? And I'm like, okay, I know the answer is probably yes, but I'm just like, it's something I never thought about. Like, that's got to be cool if, like, a Dalmatian has identical twin puppies that are two Dalmatians that are the exact same spots in the exact same places. I just, it's not something I've ever thought about, but today we thought we'd go even further with that and make this as a place for talking about what we don't understand. And don't know.

Yeah, it's similar to like the opposite of hot takes where it's like, hey, no matter what I say here, I'm just going to let the doors open and say, because at some point you get old enough that you can't be like, what is that? Right. You miss the window to be like, what do you mean by insurance? Honestly, it's a thing where like everybody right now on the internet is they all want to be experts. And so everybody's just like telling you what things are. And I rarely see people going like, I don't know. I don't know stuff. You don't because it's a scary thing and it only invites ridicule a lot of the time and I'm like that's not how we should respond to gaps in knowledge because we all have gaps in knowledge

But a lot of our a lot of people who comment are very sweet and and we get a lot of like experts and I think that's one of the coolest things like we all have gaps in knowledge But something we don't know anything about there's someone out there who's dedicated the whole life to that thing But honestly what's interesting as you said that I was like I feel like my gaps in knowledge because of the internet now I feel like my gaps in knowledge show my irresponsableness of, like, not looking it up. Because any gap in knowledge, I can fill with my phone. You know what I mean? Like, I can look up anything. I almost think that's part of the problem, right?

It's like there's a lack of curiosity sometimes because it's so easy to find things. But we're also at a point now, you say that, like your phone, I also think there's so much stuff that misinformation is such a problem that I don't even know. Like, I don't know what if what I'm looking at on. is the right answer at sometimes. Unless it's got like a dot gov or a dot net or a whatever. Even that's questionable at this point. Yeah, got dot go. I get scared. I need hate green to tell me to my face what things are. That's so true. But today, we're making this safe space to just talk about what we don't understand. We're not going to, we can, if one of us thinks we know

the answer, we can take a guess, but nobody here's an expert. I think it's not even about answering the question. It's about saying, posing the question. Yeah. Here I go. I'm taking the mask off. I don't know what this is and I've been acting like I know what it is for this many years. Okay. Fair. Can I just start this off? All right, Keith. I'm just going to start it. Okay, so I've seen something on like Facebook recently. I still get on Facebook. They said

the question was isn't scrambled eggs really fried chicken? All right. Think about it. Think about it. Isn't scrambled eggs

Holy fuck. Fried chicken. Okay, well. No one move. Nobody do anything right now. Like my mind, I've seen it like yesterday or the day before, and I've been stuck on that. And I'll ask you another question. Okay.

What do you think the dessert version of scrambled eggs is? The dessert version? That's too literal. Eggs. Okay, we'll move on. Let's go back to you. That's breaking my brain even more. Okay.

You're right. It's eggs. right? Yeah, scrambled eggs Yeah. Fried chicken. Fried chicken is flour. Right?

I don't cook. I don't think scrambled eggs, but are scrambled eggs like fried? I guess it's in oil. You're frying a chicken. You're literally frying a chicken. I'm not like, I'm not like, I like to cook, but I don't know what I'm doing. I don't understand the terminology of what I'm doing. I don't care.

We also brought up, because you brought up your whole bagel for the evening thing. Yeah, so I have this whole theory. I'll send you the time code. And I'm getting a lot of great warriors in my DMs. And we're going to figure out a beautiful chart. A feud has begun on the line. And we're going to figure out what the breakfast version of everything is for dinner. And it's when we're figuring it out and what the dessert is.

Oh, okay. Yeah, like the muffin, a muffin is a breakfast cupcake. Yeah. A muffin is a breakfast cupcake. Okay, hold on, hold on. Like, there's some things you would never have for breakfast, but there's a version that's similar to it. I get that.

Okay, it takes me a wilder process. It takes me to process. But we learn some stuff in the comments. Scary thing to say on a video like this, but it did. About donuts. So, okay, this is wild. Okay. I did not know this.

So we were talking about, like, yeah, like donuts are for the morning, right? Like, as an American, we go, donuts are a morning thing. You have them in the morning. Absolutely. Everybody from the UK was like, you would never have a donut. it in the morning. Donuts are for the evening. And I was like, okay, listen, Govna, I don't know what you're talking

about. I don't know what you're talking about. Listen, Doctor Who? What are you talking about? Donut Abby? Sorry, King Charles. What are you eating with the donut if not coffee? I guess it's just breakfast but they don't have coffee like

we have coffee. They have tea. And they're having like... And a donut with tea sounds awful. Hold on, dude. They drink tea. Not, not tea, do they drink coffee over there? Yeah, they do drink coffee. They're like espresso, mostly. Oh, got you. Or like Americana.

They don't have, like, drip coffee. Like, going over there and asking for a drip, they're like, what? Coffee, yeah, like, getting a big 16 ounce cup of coffee is not, I don't think it's as common there. But with globalization, everything's kind of everywhere. Yep. You go to any big city, you're going to find whatever you need. That's just kind of the thing. Okay, but we're off to the races.

All right, we're off to the races. Scramble eggs, fried chicken. We have no idea. Yeah. We don't know. I'm not here to try to answer. But it's okay if in the comments, if you are an expert, I kind of want to see how many experts of different types of fields we can get because we brought up like the twin thing. And we had multiple like bird scientists in our comments. I didn't know Smosh was so big amongst bird scientists. Where are the donut scientists? Like show up, right? We need a donut scientist in our comments. And if we need to do like a direct call out like egg scientists come in, right? Yeah. You have a place in the comments. Go down there and do your work. Tell us. We'll read it.

You would think we would have Donut scientists since we're like known for like the pink Oh we got to You would think we would know our donuts a little bit Oh yeah Because it is kind of part of Smosh's lore Forever Yeah

Okay I'll say it All right Long time ago Long time ago I was I think about this moment a lot I was playing soccer as a kid Which was hilarious

My parents really tried to make me athletic And it just didn't stick And I was the funny part about my soccer career growing up she's going for the goal she's doing Pippin she's completely given

her money getting a goal I'm going to send it to Selena there's a picture for some reason I kept getting on winning teams but I was dog shit there's one picture of me with my foot out

and the ball's back there like and my parents would be like she's not good but she keeps getting on these teams that keep like going to the championship. And then there was one picture. And I think this is when I started to learn to have anxiety

because these teams were really good. And the only position I could kind of play was goalie. And we had such a strong defense. He would never come over there. Oh, nice. Oh, okay. I was going to say, goalie is usually one of the best players on the team.

No, but when you have girls that are just like pushing the ball down there, you're just going to stick angel in the back. And there's a picture of me in front of the goalie like this. Like they used to be like, do you want a magazine? because I would sit back there and I would walk back and forth and I'd go, please don't come over here please don't come over here

because I just was so scared of letting people down. Anyway, all to say. That's a terrifying position to be in if you have anxiety and feel like you suck at soccer. It all began there. That's terrifying. It all began there. But I remember

the moment someone explained to me off sides. Yeah. And I remember moving on. Like hearing him go and then going, Mm-hmm. Like, just zoning out. And now, to this day, I watch football with my family, I watch soccer with my family.

I don't know what off-sides is at all. It's... It doesn't mean out of bounds. So that's what I'm curious about. No. What does it mean? It has a lot to do with player positioning on the field. I'm not going to try to answer it.

Yeah. It's hard to explain without the visual, like, of the field and looking at the players. Like, if you watch, if you were to watch a game, I think, I know it's, it is complicated. Yeah. I think it's complicated. Yeah. And there's a lot of... It's complicated?

It is complicated. Okay. It's complicated and just like, you have to know, like, James is like gearing up to explain it. Oh, he wants to explain it. Oh, my God. Do you think you could explain this? Oh, you're going to have a lot of fans from...

Our international fans are going to be pissed at you if you explain this wrong. No, this is scary. I don't even want you to do this. This is like you're walking on landmine. Easy. Let's do it. Okay, I said I was not going to try to explain things, because I, it's, I'm terrified to do this, because I'm going to get, I'm going to get something wrong,

and our international fans, you'd be like, kill him. But it has to do, I believe it has to do with players on a certain team cannot go past a certain point when players on the opposing team where they're, they're at on the field as well. And what, my question is, why does that matter? It's just not fair. I think it has to do with the organization of the gate, like it would mess things. up. Scott, am I right on that kind of? It's the ball, too. It's the ball as well. So if the ball is...

Sounds like mush to me. What? What do you mean? It's the ball? Okay, okay, that's right. It's where the ball's at and where your team is at. So if the ball cannot, if the ball has not crossed midfield, you cannot cross midfield, right? Yeah, yeah. That's, that's effectively it. Oh! So it's just a matter of like... But why? Why does that matter? I think it would just, I frankly think it would just make the game like, it would mess up the game in ways where it's just like, you would just position people down here when the ball's up here, pass it over to them, and it just kind of messes up the game, whereas this keeps it

kind of like about the skill and playing it a certain way. Look, it's been a minute. Yeah. And listen, I brought it up to talk about the fact that I've been lying about knowing it, not that you had to explain it. I understand. We did the thing we said we weren't going to do. And I'm probably going to get annihilated. To be fair, guys, I am not an expert on football. And to be fair, I didn't ask Shane what it meant. I honestly just want to talk about the fact that I didn't. I think James was excited that we had the little soccer field. We did happen to have a tiny little soccer field.

We just happen to have it in reach. That's just very funny to have. We will have in the comments, let's have some real football fans. And explain it to me like you'd explain like the mall. Explain it to a theater kid. When you do the ball shit, I'm like, I get it but I don't fucking, like just explain why. Because I don't know. I completely understand because whenever I do.

catch a football game and I'm watching and they're like oh and that's off sides I'm just like what just let them come on just let him kick the ball. See I that's why I want to talk about today though is because if I hear that I go okay and I go it's off sides because you're not rooting for a team are we are we really calling

it football though I know are we really hold on are we really doing that because you know we call it soccer growing up I know everybody we call it soccer but are we calling it football now are we change if that's what we're doing I'm down to call soccer football Call it football if we call scrambled eggs fried chicken.

There we go, boom, just like that. Just like that. Let's hold ourselves accountable. Let's do it. Let's do it. Come on. Someone in here. Somebody in here.

It's one that I can't, like, I can't scoff acts. I'm like, they are literally playing with their feet. I'm like, that is football. Whereas, like, our football, it's just kind of a weird big thing. But I just need to know if we're all just making that transition together. I think it's a personal journey. I think we can't tell you what to do. So I'm a soccer game.

guy. I mean, yeah, it's, it is called soccer in America. Okay. We call it like, yeah, like MLS. It's major league soccer. God, we're so fucking stupid. We eat donuts in the morning. You call it soccer. What are we doing? God, we're so lame. All right. So we're going to have, all right, so all right, already off the bat, we're going to have chicken scientists talking about scrambled eggs. And then we need some, some. And then we have the bros. We need some genuine, genuine football soccer fans being like, hey, here's how off sides actually was. And here's why we need it. Because I've never understood like, what is hindering the game from when someone

does that? That's totally fair. When did that come into play? And I want to apologize to anyone I've lied to their face. If something off-sides comes up and I act like I know what I'm talking about. Or I act like I know what happened in the game. That's what I'm here to be accountable for. Because a lot rules, it's just like they were invented like a hundred years ago for different reasons. Like I know in American football, right? like NFL, the pass, like passing the ball. I believe it's, once again, correct me if I'm wrong,

but I believe it was invented or like pitched by Teddy Roosevelt. And the whole idea behind the past was too many people were dying, playing football. And he's like, okay, so maybe we can figure out a way to like, get the ball down the field without people dying as much. Wow. That's actually interesting. Then people still die a lot. Yeah.

Whoa. But back in like 100 years ago, you watch like, you're here about football stuff. It's just like, yeah, there's people just hitting each other on a field. That's interesting. Yeah. Now, I don't want to spread misinformation.

Correct me if I'm wrong in the comments. Let's get a Teddy Roosevelt football expert. Roosevelt? Roosevelt? Is it Roosevelt? I thought it was Roosevelt. It's two O's. Two O's, yeah.

Roosevelt. Oh, my God. Okay, but do you have something that you act like you understand that you don't? I got stuff that I don't, I don't know. And I'm not going to pretend that I know. Yeah, but I will. All right. Yeah, let's have you...

Microchips. What the fuck's going on there? In dogs. What? Why did you jump to that? Because I've always thought about... No, I felt the same way. In dogs?

Is that where you both were? Yes, absolutely. We have dogs. Are you always figuring out where that shit is? Microchips, if you guys said in dog. I was with her. I was definitely with Angela. I knew this would imbalance us.

Why? Okay, okay, okay, let's, you know what, let's go here. Let's go, let's travel here. We'll come to us later, but explain what you don't understand. I don't understand how microchips work, how they're made. Like, I understand, they store so much information, but I'm like, where? How did we, how did we create this and we know like, oh yeah, that'll, so all the stuff will be stored there. So the video game will be there.

Yeah, so all the stuff you look at on the internet will be over. over there. I'm like, what the hell, man? So if not in dogs, what are you talking about? I'm talking about the microchip itself. How does it work? And like, where else is it? Well, oh, wait.

Well, that's absolute. Oh my God. Hey, no judgment. We said no judgment. Microchips are everywhere. They're in like pretty much any smart piece of technology. Yeah, I understand. If you took apart an iPhone, I'm like,

I just don't understand how this was built. Yeah, and how like, where does, like, Like when I'm on the internet, when I'm like doing stuff on my phone, I'm like, I'm looking at information, I'm looking at the internet, I'm looking at all these things. I'm like, when does that translate to the physical world, right? Yeah. Like the microchip is where software and technology goes into what physically is happening and how I know it's being powered by electricity. I get that. And I know that silicon can hold stuff. But I'm like, I don't understand how we know when we're building it. this works. And when we build it, do we do it with our hands? Well, they have machines that are like... Yeah, but was the first one made with a hand? They have to have machines that it can like

I I don't know, man. Well, the first computers had to have been just super shitty, big, gigantic, beefy monster. And I haven't met a couple of people who like build one, like when they build a PC or whatever. Yeah. We need to get Tim in the comments and he'll explain. Yeah. Does your dog

have a microchip? No. No. No. Not at all. Honestly, I could have bet a thousand dollars at We're chopping pork Don't have microchips How small are they though? Microchips Well they vary in size

Yeah Like a motherboard It can be big Yeah but for like dogs Oh there's like a pill So yeah you and I went straight to the dogs Because I always think about When I was a dog walker

Like I'd always be like Well like when we would lose dogs We'd be like Hold on you Like if a dog ran away Yeah And it was like once a dog

Jumped out of my window I didn't keep the child lock on and my windows were down. Oh, for your car. And this motherfucker jumped. Oh, no. And then we were like looking for him. And then I remember being like, doesn't he have a microchip?

And my friends were like, my co-workers were like, the microchip in dogs just has their name and info. Oh, it doesn't have a GPS. I actually am kind of shocked that that's not more of a thing, though. Like, at least at the very least to put it in collars now. Maybe it's changed since I've worked there. Could dog callers not just basically be an air tag? I bet now they have that down, but at the time it was like, oh, all their microchips just have their information. So if you like, like, if a dog showed up at the vet, they can like scan the microchip and be like, like, here's your house.

All right. That's all something. But I bet people, I bet people airtagged their dogs now. That actually let me down a lot. I thought it was like a GPS. I'm sure the technology has evolved. Yeah, but for a GPS to be inside a human feels like a moving thing, like a fucking dog feels kind of crazy. Yeah.

That doesn't feel like it's good for the dog. Because they can make them so small now. Stuff can be so tiny. It's just like, I mean, I'm not trying to answer these questions. No, no, no, we're not. We're not. We're just talking about we don't understand. We don't understand. We don't get it.

But I don't get like, I understand how to use technology. Yeah. But I'm so fascinated by like how it actually works. Like if someone laid a microchip on this table and said, so how does this, how does it do what it does? I'd be like, I don't know, man. Yeah, no, of course. I don't know. I don't get it.

Do you have anything that you wanted to bring up today that? that you're a little nervous to say in front of people? I don't feel shame about like the lack of knowledge. I think it actually, to be honest, I think I've gotten so used to it because on Reddit stories so often I find out like, oh, I completely misunderstand a certain type of thing. And that's sometimes very vulnerable

because it's like we're talking about human behavior and things that I'm like, oh, I'm such a fan of studying it. But then I'm like, oh, but I'm wrong all the time. And it's like kind of a gift because I'm just like, oh, I get to like have a million people from around the world with different experiences, watch it and tell me their experiences or tell me what they know.

And I'm like, great, now I know that. Like, I'm constantly evolving because of it. I've learned so much from it. So I'm not really ashamed. And there's always some person who's going to make fun of you. And I'm just like, that's, okay, cool, man. Like, you're not incentivizing people to be open with you if that's your response to things.

Like, we should respond. It should be a great thing when people share that they don't know something. Like, that's what we want, right? Yeah, but it just doesn't have. Because now we just have a bunch of people pretending they know stuff and not being vulnerable with each other. Not even just pretending. A lot of people think they know, but they just don't.

Do you know? And I think that's the majority of the time, right? I think we should doubt so many things. I have a character that I love playing that it's like, it's based off of this girl, a couple of people in my acting class. It even goes with just like content where they're like, you've never seen back to the future? I know, man. You're? Wait, how old are you?

You've never seen it? Oh my God. You know what I mean? Just like a lack of anything. I think I'm just like sensitive to it. It really, it does bother me more than I would ever share except for right now. And it's, it's especially annoying because like I love bookstores, right? And I love reading.

And I try to read a lot. Like I'd say this year I've been reading like crazy, right? Like a book a week sometimes. But I'm like, I could continue on a pace of reading a book a week my entire life. And in any bookstore, any row of books that I'm on, I won't be able to. read all those books in my lifetime. There's too much shit. Yeah. So I'm not going to shame anyone for not having checked out something. Yes. Yes. Because there's infinite stuff. Exactly. So I'm like, if anything, though, I think when someone hasn't seen something or engaged with something

that I love, it's not a like, you haven't seen that as in like. It's like excitement. It's like, whoa. I get to see you experience it. I want you to experience that because that's the closest I can get. I get that. But when people are like, what? You don't know that or you haven't seen. that? I'm like, come on, man. Like, what do you think that's a moose? What do you want to happen here? Okay, can I say, can I say, I did write down a list of animals, and I wanted you to see, I wanted to see if, I will say, it's fascinating to me, because I love animals.

I'm not doing the thing that we were just talking about. You're not at all. You're not at all. And Keith, if you don't know these animals, too. Yeah. I feel like, yeah, I feel like you're a perfect guess because you could, do you know animals? I like animals. watching animal documentaries. You used to watch animal documentaries all the time. I do. I do. I enjoy

watching them but like yeah like I enjoy to sit back, smoke some weed and like watch animal documentaries. Oh that's awesome. You know what I mean? I have a friend that puts like those animal documentaries in black and white. Oh that's weird. On his TV. Black and white. I don't know he's a weird animals have such cool colors. Yeah for sure. It's a weird dude. Anyway. Yeah he's a fucking weirdo. Aren't platypus is weird though? They're super weird. They're weird like how do. Those are weird. I actually don't. Hey, I don't know what the hell's going on there. What grade were you in when you learned about a platypus. I don't...

The problem is I was just kind of obsessed with animals as a kid. I wanted to be a better... And I can't relate to this. I wanted to be a veterinarian for most of my childhood. I need to talk to someone and find out the gap

in knowledge of, for me, and like where that went. Because like... Well, when did you start getting really into theater and performing? How old were you? Probably like middle school

or elementary school. What were you obsessed with as a little kid? I feel like everybody's sort of obsessed with something. Yeah, yeah. I'm trying to think. I wasn't obsessed with animals. Hello, it's Dan and Andy here from No Such Thing as a Fish,

your favorite new podcast that you haven't heard yet. That's right. We're a podcast. It's been going 10 years. And each week we bring four of the best facts we've heard that week to the table to blow each other's minds as well as yours. Here's a fact, Dan. Did you know that the people of Iceland can use 95% of a cod? Okay.

They're just working on that last 5%. If you want to find out how they do that, why they do that, and why we're talking about that. Check out no such thing as a fish wherever you get your podcasts now. I should say, despite my fact having codenet, this is not a podcast about fish. It's about everything.

I just happened to pick one of the worst and most confusing facts possible. Tera! Just give me a second. It's okay if it's not. Take your time. No, I was obsessed with like making shit. Like I was obsessed with like art.

I was obsessed with paint. Yeah, you were obsessed with art. Like visual art. I was obsessed with just like doing stuff. That's cool. I don't think there was any thing I was taking in stories I liked stories like Harry Potter

I like all that's shit That's okay I think yeah Artwork and stuff is very much a thing And music I love music It doesn't have to be like oh I love studying something I just mean like what were you doing What did you enjoy doing? I think it was music and There's a lot of kids it's sports

Yeah And they just want to play sports all day every day So that's what they know Yeah But for me I just was obsessed with animals So like anything I So I just want I Because I'm fat when the moose

thing happened. Yeah. I was like, this is fascinating. I didn't know the different like a deer and a moose. We were looking at a poster of Ice Age. Okay. And you know how there's the mammoth, the sloth, and the saber tooth tiger? Right. And Angela goes, yeah, the moose there.

And I was like, what? What? And she was referring to the mammoth as a moose. Yeah. How? I don't understand. You really thought it was a moose insult? Did you actually? I think that's all the same shit. It's not that I think one is the other.

I think it's all the same. I walk into the woods and I see everything and I'm like, you're all one. No, you know what I mean? I think you're all just kind of, like, I don't know. So is it like the trunks of the mammoth and it's kind of like the antlers for the moose? All to me is a reindeer. Every animal's a reindeer to you. I just think I don't, the differences between them all, they kind of, I just blend them.

Sure. Okay. Okay. But a mammoth and a moose are very different. Yeah. Like, a reindeer, getting a reindeer and a moose mixed up. Makes sense. I would, I'd be a little more understanding. I'm just fascinated. I'm fascinated because it's like, oh, you just weren't into it. I think I know what it is. It's like the, no, I really think I know why you think. I think it's the fur. And the trunks up, and it's the trunk. Okay, so you're confusing the trunks and the antlers.

For this, for just stuff. Yeah. So you're seeing hair. and like And I don't think you had your glasses on for that day too No No

Okay You know when you see someone Get an Emmy Those things It's all the same No No it's not An Emmy

What is that animal An Emmy An Emmy is a person What's the two big things It's their I thought it was their hand A golden glow What am I thinking

Oh my God It's their hands No they have hooves And Emmies have hooves No I'm looking at up Emmys have hooves No Emmys have like It's like an archangel

Or some shit Oh well James is losing it. Yeah, I think they have wings. There's two thingies. I thought it was their, you're talking about their wings? So what is it?

It's not a human because humans don't have wings. Oh, that's an angel from the Lord. Amen, thank you. Thank you. Yes, five people right over here. I fill it, $20. $20. Oh, yes, yes.

Go fund me. Go fund me. Okay. I have some animals that I wrote down that I just want to see you describe. Just describe what you think that. animal is a manatee oh I know what that is okay a manatee mm-hmm and you can give vague things of like I see a picture of it no you want me to describe what I want you to describe like what you think it is because I'm just trying to figure out

water or land it's a little bit different too of like a word like the name a manatee a manatee sounds similar to me like moose with some horns okay big okay Why do I want to think water But not water Oh Interesting Does he swim Does she swim

Do they swim? I'll give it to you They swim They're swimming But it's not a whale But it's not a whale So what the fuck is it? Let's move on

That's a perfect one Where I go I can place it But what is? No I was writing these out And I was like I don't want to go too basic But like

It also got But one of my favorite clips is when you guys are playing poetry for Neanderthals and Courtney is like male cow and Angela's like and Chance holding the bat goes She doesn't know animals

She doesn't know animals. It's really funny I'm just fascinating because I'm like I am obsessed with animals. Yeah no it's very funny But you that's a bull A manatee is a bull No no no no no no Can I tell her what a manatee is? Please tell me cute

Okay so like They're really cool they swim, some people they're actually related to elephants. Are they? I believe so. I might be wrong but I believe so. They're like actually related to... And they're not

at sea world. I don't, they might be I don't know. Yeah. That sucks. People thought they were mermaids back in a day. They're very chill. They're like a grayish color but they swim in like shallow waters.

I would see them in Florida all the time. but they're these just big round. So a crocodile. They look a little bit more like a gigantic, lazy seal. That's kind of... Exactly, yeah. Okay, so I think it might just be like the similarities between them and I blend them. That's fine.

Okay, got a couple others here for you. An emu. Oh, that... I legit can't tell you what that is. You don't know what that is? That's fine. What is an email? Is it a bear?

It's not a bear. Is it a fish? It's not a fish. Emu a polar bear No, I asked a bear Why? Why? Why? What the fuck is an emu? It's okay You can literally show me pictures of four things

And I won't be able to find which one's an emo Really? Okay, it's a it's a big bird It's like it's the most dangerous bird Is that the most I don't maybe it is I don't know Is that the emo? They fought wars against them and lost But is that true? They're like a How do you spell emu? E-M-U

they're in Australia they're like a this looks like an ostrich to me yeah they're not as big as ostriches though I've had some run-ins with emus really yeah I've gotten to meet a few where well we went to Australia once and then there was one

I saw on a like a farm like refuge here in California they are they've got a personality to them they will get up in your face they are very curious not afraid to walk they don't fly they don't fly they're just big

though, but they'll get up in your face and like, it's crazy. No, like anyone who works, when we were in Australia, the people who work at the like refuge that we were at, they'd be showing us other animals and the emos would just like start walking up, trying to get in their face. And they would just grab their necks and just like push them away.

Like, get the fuck out of here. It's very funny. Wow, I literally didn't know what an emu was. Wow. Praying mantis. That's an insect. Yeah. You got it. Yay. Bug? All bugs are bugs.

Bugs. Okay. Oh, bugs are bugs. Oh, bugs are bugs. All right, this is my last one. Mere Cat. Keith, you know what a mirror. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I feel like if you watch Animal Planet, you know what a mere cat is. Is it like, it's a cat? It's not a cat. Okay, well then how am I supposed? Like, it's like, what? What is a mirror cat? Is it like a monkey? Like a monkey?

It's more like a prairie dog. It's kind of like a, it's a prairie dog-esque. You know what a prairie dog is? I'm not kidding, guys. It's not a dog. This is actually like such a gap in knowledge. No, it's okay. Like, was I sick that whole week we did animals and we just never.

I missed Animal Week in second grade. It's okay. Okay, okay. You know Timon and Pumba from Lanking? Yes. Timon. Timon. Timon.

Timon. I love Tumone. You should have just said, do you know Timon? If I said, what is Timon? Do you know what? No, I'd say Timon is Timon. I'd say Timon's funny. Timon is funny.

That's what he is. He's got a good voice. And you know what? You'd be correct. Okay, Angela, I feel bad because I'm not trying to roast you. I also, no, the animal thing I find very funny. It is funny. I don't find it embarrassing at all.

That isn't even touching the things that I was talking about today. Like being like, it's lying about things. I'm very open about not knowing animals. Because I don't think it really shows if I'm stupid. it or not it's like it's like I don't really value knowledge I don't personally believe knowledge is necessarily the correct barometer of like intelligence because I think we all have gaps in knowledge knowledge is like related to your experience and what you've seen and read and done in your life yeah and I don't

have like an ego about it like I feel like you you too like when you don't understand something you embrace it I'm just okay I didn't know that like what is that yeah it's fine I'm good do you got anything else because you you brought the banger of is scrambled eggs fried chicken yeah I'm so kind of think about that forever i'm kind of stuck on that so um not even like funny i just and i i don't think anybody truly knows but something that i just don't understand space space really like throws me for a loop i think it throws scientists for a loop i think it throws everybody for a loop because like what is it like what the hell is it and why is it like continuing to like just expand at a rate

we'll never get to the edge of it is there an edge you know what i mean yeah like what is it actually mean, like, why are we here? You know, like, what is this shit? Yeah, what the fuck's in EMU? That's entirely fair. Literally. Can we get some sort of scientist in the comments to explain us the meaning of life? Yeah, and if they have $5.

Yes, right over here, right over here. I don't understand what the balls do. What the balls? Which balls we're talking about? Wow, we went from space to ball. Space balls. Space balls. Oh, my God.

Nice. Yes. That's another thing. I think I've said I know that movie and I've never seen it. That's fair. Why would you do that? What are the balls doing? Because you can say every body part does something.

What are the balls doing? They're storing piss. They don't store piss. They don't store piss. Okay. I think I know the answer, but we're not here to answer. Yeah, exactly. But I'm finally saying it.

I don't understand what they are. I don't understand what you guys do with them. What ball? Like our balls? Your balls. What test? Oh, oh, okay. They're there as a weak point,

so when you're in a fight, you go down in the splits and you go like this. Have you ever gotten kisses in their boss? What? Do you know how eyelashes? Hold on! It's why you said true that they're supposed to protect your penis? No, no.

I know they're a weak point where if you do the splits and you're in a fight with someone, you hit their testicles like this. I thought you were saying the balls are protecting the penis, and that's why they're there. It's actually a polar opposite. In fact, if someone hits you, in the balls, you're hoping your penis is like, whoa, and like gets it.

Yeah, it's the worst feeling of the world to be kicked in the balls. To be hitting the balls, by far, and one of the worst feelings in the world, because for some reason, the balls are hanging, right? But when you get punched in them, they feel like they go inside your stomach. I don't know how it works. I don't know if you've ever gotten kicked or hitting the balls.

It is the most painful shit. It's hard to go through life without it happening. Yeah, true, true. So you'd rather someone hit you in the penis than the balls? You'd hope. God, I hate what I'm doing. Absolutely. That was on my list of shit I didn't understand.

We could just move on. That's fine. We could just move right on. No, it's a devastating weak point. Mm-hmm. And in elementary and middle school, it's particularly middle school. It's like everybody's just gearing up to try to strike each other there. I don't know what it is.

Seventh grade, everyone's like, yeah, we're all going to try to kick each other's balls. Yeah, yeah. It's bad. Hold on. What do the balls do? Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I don't know. Sorry.

I got to listen. More stuff. That I just wanted to move right on by. I don't get sewers. What? Like what's going on down there? How big are they? Who's checking on that shit?

Okay, that's different. Is it a tunnel? Like, how big are the sewers? Some of them are tunnels. I also, okay, can I also really say something I don't understand? When people are like, oh yeah, so like there's Seattle and then it's built over old Seattle. And I'm like, how do you mean? Okay, I went to see.

What do you mean when we say like, oh, it's built over the old city? I'm like, it, that's doubt? Like, we just, what do you mean? We started building on the roofs? Okay, so I did a, I did an Amazon Alexa commercial. And it's funny about Amanda did the exact same thing. I remember it was like, right when I was working at Smosh, she was like, oh, yeah, they do their spots over in Seattle. And she used to go on the island.

So I was there for like a week and they wanted me and these three guys to bond because they wanted us to like be like roommates. We had to do like six spots together. So they were like, hey, they're flying you in a day early so you guys can hang out. And they got you guys like a Seattle tour of the tunnels. and it was just like me and these two fucking random dudes from the commercial audition and we took this tour. I don't remember why, but there's a whole reason for the tunnels. Really? Oh, I thought you were about to tell me.

You were, you geared up, like, you told us, Angela, you geared up to tell us a story, you gave us the buildup and then said, and then, yeah. So anyways. You did the exact same thing with an emu. What are you talking about? You didn't explain it. So, no, I remember there's a big, a big, it's a big, There's a big fire. There's a huge fire. Wait.

There's a big fire in Seattle. So then they built everything better. And then they just built it on top of it. Yes. And then they kept that down there just in case there were more fires that they can go under or something like that. I think my question just is like, where is the ground level? Where does the soil begin? Yeah. And where is it buildings?

And then we built buildings over building. That's what it makes it sound like. Do we build the sewer first or does that come next? You know what I mean? And where is that? Is the sewer tunnels? The sewers are definitely, I mean, there are tunnels But like how big are these tunnels

Because Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has me believing like Oh, there's a big network And you could like have a secret base down there Did you, they said there's something like under us in L.A. Like there's some like tunnels or some like weird shit I don't know. This is just what I've heard At UCLA there's a tunnel system Really?

Yeah and then you'd go in the middle of the night Like before you graduate and you go tunneling And you like run through the tunnels You're not allowed to but that's why you do it before you graduate Just run through tunnels. Yeah, there was like a whole... Yeah, I guess like, why do places have tunnels? It's crazy to think about.

Okay. I just, I just, I'm like, sewers, how often are people checking on them and, like, I don't know, I'm just like, what's going on down there? Yeah, like, because as a kid, remember the rumors of like there's alligators in the tunnels? Yes. In the sewers? And I would be like, what if there are? Yeah. If one got loose down there, who's checking on it?

It's actually so true. I remember, like, looking in the little hole. Like you know what I'm saying like that and being like what's down there? And like being scared like Chuckie's gonna come out? No, a few of my fucking phones are down there. I don't know some phones. Some IDs, credit cards. Okay, speaking of sewers though, something else I don't understand is we live in L.A., right?

Big city. But I know that there's tons of like raccoons and skunks and like other big animals. Are you following? Yes, don't you? Yes. Yes. Sorry, I started thinking about wicked. You started, you started looking confused.

I was just like, I'm happy to explain what a skunk is. No, I was just thinking about, like, dancing and stuff. Anyway, but there's tons, and there's possums all over the place. Like, we see them all the time, but I'm like, where the hell are they? And where do they stay? Where are they? There's all these big animals all over the place, and I see them sometimes at night. At night in Burbank, I saw the biggest raccoon of my life.

And I was like, where the hell is that guy living all day? because I'm like I don't see them ever A lot of skunks say like burrow Like underneath things like underground a little bit They'll make little like dens and stuff I'm pretty sure Because I have like a family of skunks That stay in my neighborhood

And some of my neighbors have gotten sprayed Oh my God! I've heard it's really bad It's really bad even to the point where some like coyotes Come into town now just to try to get to You know different like yeah Come into town for pilot season Yeah they were trying to get that Wiley Coyote movie What does it look like when you get skunks?

Like, do you know what's happening? I'm sure you know what's happening. Apparently, it is like one of the worst things that can happen to you. Why, you just smell? It's like a smell that's so much. It's not just a bad smell. It's like... I know the smell, but like, are you, like, it's on your body?

I think, like, you smell it when you're driving and you can smell that a skunk got hit on the freeway. Apparently, like, actually getting the spray on you is... It's really bad. It's truly horrendous. Oh, my God. That's so scared. And it, like, does not come out, right? It takes a while.

They say you're supposed to use, like, tomato sauce or something like that, I believe. Oh, my God. Okay, wait. Skunk scientists, get into the chat. Get in the chat. Wait, this is good. This is good. Animal stuff.

Someone in the chat has to help me. Last night, I was taking my dog out, and I heard a sound. What kind of animal is this? Okay, let's hear it. Let me try to see if I can get it, and then I'll say it. That's it. Hello, it's Dan. hear from No Such Thing as a Fish, your favorite new podcast that you haven't heard yet.

That's right. We're a podcast. It's been going 10 years. And each week we bring four of the best facts we've heard that week to the table to blow each other's minds as well as yours. Here's a fact, Dan. Did you know that the people of Iceland can use 95% of a cod? Okay. They're just working on that last 5%. If you want to find out how they do that, why they do that, and why we're talking about that, check out No Such Thing as a Fish, wherever you get your podcasts. Now, I should say, despite my fact having cod in it, this is not a podcast about fish.

It's about everything. I just happened to pick one of the worst and most confusing facts possible. Tera. Ooh. Mew. No, no. That sounds like a dog. Was it...

Did it sound like a bird? I don't know. It sounds like that. Like a who? That's probably an owl. An owl in the middle of the night? Yes, that's where the owls are outside at night I have news for you

They are not turnal They are not turnal That is probably the most synonymous animal With the night That's crazy I cannot think of I cannot think of a boar That's an owl

An owl at night Are you crazy No but tell me if you know that sound is It felt low to the ground is why I was freaked out Because I thought it was a coyote, and it was like, ooh, ooh. Okay, to be completely honest,

it could be a lot of things, right? Because, like, it sounds like you're making, like, a who sound. Yeah, yeah. I've been hearing an owl near our place at night. It's so wild, because I've never seen an owl in real life. In L.A., there's, like... Tons.

And you're right, where are they going, right? Like, are they in... Where are these things? They're so good at hiding. It's kind of terrifying. Like, where do coyote side more so than anything? They're out. And that's also another one.

In Arizona, I saw them all the time. They find places to hide, man. That's what's wild. It's in the city, right? Like, when I'm out camping in the woods, I'm like, I get it. This place is so vast. There's so much stuff. But in the city, it's so weird when I see these things.

I'm like, where do you go that you don't run into humans ever? I'm fascinated by it. And, like, how have they changed now living in the city? Like, at UCLA? They adapt a lot, yeah. They used to be, like, the squirrels at UCLA looked like different, like, look like a different species of a squirrel because they have access to so much

more food because there's so much trash and there was so much like just like campus food everywhere that these squirrels were fucking massive and they're like these the squirrels are not going to look like squirrels they're going to look weird to you and it's because they're big oh my god I love squirrels squirrels are adorable

one of my art teachers told me that I have the attention span of a squirrel and she wasn't lying okay yeah not lying at all yeah I was about to say like squirrels have good memory because they remember where they store their nuts and I remember that they don't remember. They don't remember where they put them. They don't remember where they put those things.

There's a crazy video of someone like a worker going up. I think it's like a satellite type of situation. There's some sort of big electrical device like up on a pole and he's opening it up and just, it was just filled to the brim with nuts that come out because squirrels were storing nuts in there

and then would just forget about it. Oh, how humiliating. I know, their whole stash. Years of work gone. Uh, devastating. No, squirrels are hilarious. Okay, I've got other things. I got more too.

Um, I have one. All right, Keith, hit us. I don't know how friends work, how friendship works. Because I feel like when it comes to, well, I guess I do. It just depends on the person, you know, because there are so many, I have different types of friends, right? Yeah. And they require different types of, I guess, things that they need in order to, like, water the friendship or whatnot. not. And I guess I just answered my own question. Hey, that's beautiful. Yeah, never

mind. I know how friendship works. I know how it works. No, but you mean like the ways it's different for each person? Yeah, like it's just like, but like I just figured it out. It's different for each person. So I mean like once I figured out like with specific friends different love languages that already was like. Yeah. It fixed a lot. It's such a complicated thing. And that's another one we're like bringing in like Reddit stories like everybody has such a different view on like friendship and it's so complicated and um especially like as society changes and like the internet and like phones and like how we communicate has completely shifted how friendships work and like the thing I hear so much nowadays is like when you're an adult and you don't

have friends it's like how the how do you make friends and it's like there's just not a good answer yeah it's just like hey you're on your own journey And you kind of just have to find it. And it's like, you balance out everything, right? You're balancing out your level of honesty, forgiveness, boundaries, all these things. You have to balance it with them. And then it's like, oh, if this isn't working, if, like, how we balance this doesn't work, then we can't be friends.

It's not, but it's like, man, though, but you need friends, right? You want friends, but you also don't want bad people. And, like, you don't want people hurting you. It sucks. It also takes for two people to, or how many other people. Well, it can't just be one person. Like, you guys both have to agree that this is what you want. Totally.

Yeah. I remember when I learned that, like, just like that my, there was friends that I loved so much that I just kept feeling like a sources of conflict would happen when I didn't see them after a long time. And that's when I learned that love language, to me, time is not a love language. Like, I don't, like, if I haven't seen you in a while, we're on pause. Yeah. And then, like, a lot of my friends are like, oh, if I don't see you, you don't love me. Like, if you don't hang out. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Like, I, some of my closest people, I don't, I don't see that often. I just think, like, we have a very special bond. And I think that was, I, like, honestly tried to figure out why. And I walked it back, and I was like, oh, I grew up and my parents were always out of town. Yeah. And they made me still feel very loved. And, like, we never had distance. But then there are so many of my friends that will just be like, how are you?

What's going on? And I'm like, whoa, what shifted? Nothing shifted for me And once I learned that I was like oh my God Now I can operate with friends that are like that So much better because now I know That's like a currency for them

And some people are that way with like touch Yeah Sometimes they just need a call You know just a little check in Yeah It's a hard thing though And I think it's like that's one of those things That you're never gonna perfect right

You're just kind of always Adapting in some way or another And learning and you just kind of have to like Forgive yourself for not knowing How other people work In every aspect spectacular way and hope they are lenient for you but it's I think that's a mystery forever yeah like I don't think they're I don't know if we're ever going to like map out how that works perfectly

you know like that's just a constantly evolving thing and that's a problem too is like we could we could learn everything about how a human works but humans are evolving constantly so it's like it's always going to be outdated right I don't know yeah hey I don't know let's get behavioral scientists in the chat Tell us how friendships work. Yeah, get in here next to the emu girlies. Next to the emu girlies. I have one that I think you guys can answer.

I'm just scared to say it all loud. Say it. It's the same place. And this goes back to no judgment. This is a safe place. Safe space. I don't know why. But in my head, I remember in class when they were explaining this and I zoned out.

What a filibuster is? A filibuster. I don't know what that is. I know what a filibuster is. Is this thing that you have to waste time? Yeah. Yeah. Effectively waste time.

So the way our, but this is also remembered that our political system is stupid in a lot of ways. What do you mean? What? So a filibuster is, I believe it's like, okay, we need to, to, like, in the Senate or in Congress. I'm stupid in a lot of ways on specifics, but it's like, okay, we have this amount of time. We need to have this resolution passed by a certain point of time. So someone will be like, all right, I'm going to get up on the podium. and as so long as I'm talking,

we cannot move forward. From that subject. From that subject. They'll basically stall a thing. Yeah. And so they will, I think it happened recently. Oh, what's his name?

Cory Booker did a filibuster for like 48 hours. And there's like rules to you cannot pause for a certain amount of time. You cannot do. And so they just talk for a certain amount of time to basically like stall things. Yes.

Okay. Because if, for instance, like a Democrat's like, oh, I don't want the conservatives to pass this bill. If I talk for 48 hours straight, they won't be able to, like, I will hold this off. And it's a big, once again,

let's get some political scientists in the chat to correct me on this. But it's why it's a big thing of, like, they, it's brought up a lot of, like, should we take it out? Should we outlaw the filibuster? Because when a Republican, when the Republicans are in charge of everything,

then it's like, oh, but the Democrats can use the filibuster. to halt stuff. But the same as when the flip happens. And then it's like, oh shit, Republicans are filibustering this really important fucking thing that we want to get past. And so it's kind of like,

it's a shitty thing for like four to eight years and then it's like the thing. That's helpful. It depends. And that's the tough thing with like the gridlock that America has of like the two-party system. Okay, you did a good job. And I know you didn't get the specifics or whatever.

I'm probably wrong on so much of that. But essentially it is, It is, quote unquote, wasting time. Because I've known that part, but I never have known, like, what the reason. It's holding on that if you keep talking, you are allowed to talk forever, essentially, in certain political realms. Wow. And they cannot stop you. So as long as you keep talking, they cannot move forward.

We should have that in a game's video. A filibuster game? Yeah. A 48-hour live stream. Angela's talking for 48 hours. Guys, come on, Angela's talking. We have negative views. All right.

I have a very vulnerable one, and this is not really a knowledge thing. I'm just, like, fascinated by how people work. I've brought up many times in these past couple months about my inability to dance and my insecurities around it. I'm fascinated by, like, music's playing, and people just start, like, dancing. Yeah. And I'm just like, what's going on in your guy's head? Because, like, I understand choreographed dance where I'm like, yeah, you know the movements.

But, like, when people are dancing, I'm just like, what is it like a thought process? Okay. That's amazing. Yeah, can I ask, did you grow up, did your parents dance growing up? Did you see? Not really saw them, but my parents, my dad has, like, really good rhythm. Yeah. And he actually can dance.

They never were, like, insecure about dancing. But I didn't see them dance that much. Yeah, yeah. I love your brain. We're not, like, a dancing family. But I'm just like, I'm fully aware of every part of my body. So I'm, like, thinking about, like, where I'm putting my feet and what I'm doing. But I look around other people dancing, and I'm like, oh, it's like you're mindless.

And you're just like, but I'm like, are you thinking about it? what you're doing? No, not really. No, like, maybe, like, what's going on in your head when you're dancing? Because I'm thinking about how I'm dancing. Yeah, and that is, I would say, a part of it is, like, to try to silence that brain because I think what is incredible, this is such a good one, because what is incredible about dance is that it's just your body moving, right?

And like, the more you separate it from thought, the more free you feel, right? Exactly. But then I do think a lot of good dance is connected to. thought so that like I don't think they're synonymous like that is always the rule what do you know I agree with you like you said it's not always like how it goes for me personally though I think at this point I just grew up dancing like we always played around the house my mom used to like teach us how to clap one beat because she did not want to have some some rhythmless black kids he's like we're not going we're about to clap to church music it's like all of that But like over time now. I just like I mean you could like even just swing your arms and just make it fun. You know what I mean? Like it's freeing. I enjoy it. I just enjoy it. But it takes I think it takes a level of like you have it's a freedom that you're that you're like zoning in. And that's what feels so good. But that's the thing. Yeah. I don't think even if you're not good at it, I guess per se, just go for it. Because I see some people that like they move and they're just having fun and they have no rhythm. But they're having. But they're. having so much fun it makes you want to move too. It's just a freeing situation. Like, I don't expect you to be the Jackson 5.

You know what I mean? And maybe that's what you want to be. But it's almost the opposite. It's like actually, it's actually kind of fucking blowing my mind right now. Yeah, that's actually really good. Because I'm thinking about it and I'm like, really good dance. Like, the drug is if you have it down correctly, which is if you feel free. And if you don't, you don't get to experience how fun it is.

Yeah. And like, you have to get through that hoop to. experience how it's almost like like a certain sport where if like you can't run super fast you're not experiencing how fun it is or something like that like this it's getting into the flow state right like and I just never have achieved that with dancing yeah it's funny though my parents didn't grow up dancing like in my household there wasn't a lot of dance but in my middle school and high school it was like all dancers cool and I like remember just like you were just immersed so much I mean that's probably benefit of performing arts for sure school is you're dancing yeah it's just a lot of like but like we're talking specifically with like free movement rather than like that's the type of dancing that I'm like because we've done so choreographed dance yeah for sure when it's choreographed I actually feel fine yeah yeah so I'm like yeah I know what I'm doing oh my god it's still not great but I'm like I know what move I have to do whereas it's like we're playing music so it's like dance I'm like what do I do yeah I'll never forget this was years ago when I think it was one of the first few months that you and Courtney joined

and if me and Olivia and Noah we have been here for a while but We had to do something with Ian and Anthony. I think it was like some type of brand did shoot and then Smosh games. Do you remember? And Mari and Mari had to teach us like hip hop. And like we learned it. What brand wanted you guys to do a hip-hop? And it's so funny because we're doing like these old like 90s moves.

And Shane kept up. Like he actually kept up. And that was the thing. He was like, oh man, I don't want to dance. I don't want to dance. Only to like do the movements. And it's like, yo, you're like, you can keep up. Well, like, precision-based and choreography-based stuff is just kind of, it's athletics, right?

And it's like moving your body a certain way. But like the act of like feeling free and like kind of like. Where it's hard. Yeah. Unless it's pole dancing. Oh, yeah. So what's up? Have you ever seen, have you never seen me pole dance?

We are. We took a pole dancing class. It's still my greatest moment. Sheila, Sheila taught us. Sheila. I don't know she. Oh. Sheila, yes.

Wait, can I, I'm not going to watch content during our content. Oh, we can pull this up. Yeah, yeah. You're pole dancing? We all pole danced. Not Noah. Oh, yeah, yeah. Shane, by far, the best.

The best. I was watching summer games. Can I show you my impression of Noah's walk? I think I got it down. Yeah, it's just long and lanky. He's like forward. Yeah. You're going to tell you about it?

That's him. That's him all day. He's like hands with his forehead. Mm-hmm. That is Noah. I think here it is. Oh my God. Oh my God.

Incredible. To be fair, when we went to there, I didn't know that the poles spun on their own. And when I learned that, when I learned that they spun on their own, it was like, oh, all I got to do is hold on. I was like, I can do that shit. And so I'm like, let me just hop on this and just freaking ride. Like, this is awesome. He's incredible. You've never seen that.

When you really love about it is your face, you're like. I'm like, yeah. Yeah, it's having a ball. I just want to look at it again. Well, you guys could talk. All right. Keep looking at that. That's so funny.

It was a blast. You've never seen this? No. This video has to be like 10 years old. It's about 10 years old, I think. You have like an arch, too? I'm nervous to try it again. I wonder if how I could do.

The legs are like doing exactly what they're supposed to do. You literally like, and you're changing it out. This is incredible. That takes a lot of upper body strength. Thank you. So pull dancing freestyle. You got it. That's me.

He kills that. But if I get on my feet, it's on my feet that I'm weak. I don't know what to do. Yeah. I mean, I'm trying to think, like, what's genuinely going through my brain when I'm on a dance floor with my friends and there's music playing? Like, I don't think I, I wonder if you, like, ever in your brain go, I want to do this move. But I think you do.

Yeah. And then sometimes with friends, like, if you're doing a move, then it's like, I'm going to do a move. And then we do it together. And it feels so good when you're doing. So we are thinking. He's just like, no. There is, like, a thought behind it, right? Where you're just like, and we're doing it together.

It's about, it's for, like, if you're dancing with somebody doing the same move together, just like makes it so much more fun. And it evolves? Yes. It's a little bit like past the sound. Yes, yes. And it's like, okay. But it is interesting because I feel very connected to what you're saying

because I remember being little around so many incredible dancers and not having that freedom yet. And kind of staring at it for so long and mimicking it, which wasn't freedom. Yeah. And then finally something. Something shifted where I was just like, yeah, I don't remember. This is what he needs. He needs to go to a Zumba class. Zumba class.

Imagine me in Zumba class. You need to go to a Zumba class in the hood somewhere like Englewood or something like that. Because you're going to get all the freeing that you need. Okay. I think that's what you should do. I also think maybe dancing in spaces that are darker. Like I never have thoughts when, no, and it's not about anyone seeing you. It's about you not seeing yourself.

That's, you're actually completely correct there. Like, and that's when I feel like super, like. just having fun. Yes. Well, this has been very vulnerable. Before we go, Angela, Courtney and I got you a gift. What?

We got you a gift. So, this is random. I meant to do this up top. Oh, my God. This is the very little silly thing. Now, you're aware of Labuboos, right? Yeah. So, Courtney and I had bought, like,

a Labibu or two. Somehow controversial subject, because people think they're stupid. I'd think whatever about them. Labibu scientists, sign off in the comments. LeBibou scientists, but there's a lot of different types of little blind box things nowadays, right? Well, it's a blind box. A blind box is, it's there, you buy like a box, and there's a little figurine inside, but you don't know which one you're going to get.

Okay. It's kind of, it's a big thing right now. So we're like going back to Happy Meals? Kind of. That is kind of what it is. But anyway, so I saw there's a line that's not Labooboos. It's a different little line, and I saw it, and I go, oh, man, this could be a great gift for Keith or Anne. Angela or Amanda or myself.

I don't know if you're catched on. And so I bought this blind box and I was like, I don't know which one I'm going to get. And then I got one. Oh, my God! And it happened to be... Oh, sorry. But you'll see.

I was kind of hoping it would be one for Keith. And it wasn't. It wasn't. And I wanted to buy more, but I was like, I don't know which I'm going to get. There's some that aren't, wouldn't be for anyone. This is so sweet because Courtney looked at me and goes, Shane and I have a gift for you.

Walked away. She didn't I have a fucking gift for you, dude. Oh, my God! Oh, my God! It's a little po. Oh, my God! This is so cute! Is that a key chain?

It's not a key chain, but it's just a little figurine. It's crazy. I was like, I was hoping to get dipsy or tinky winky. This is fine. I'm happy for you, Angela. I'm sorry, Keith. When I got, I was like, truly like, I wonder which one I'll get. And then we're like, oh, we got Po.

Cool. We could dip it in green and give it to you. No, no, no. The thing is port shop will get to it. I truly the urge I felt to be like, what if I got more and I got Tinky Winky and Dixie and Lala? But I was like, no, I'm going to end up getting doubles or like, I'm stopping here. It's so soft.

It's crazy, guys. Toys are back. Anyway, Keith, thanks for being here. Yes, absolutely. Thanks for having me. Yeah, dude. This is heavy. It's really cute.

Wow. Yeah. I love this. It would, okay, maybe Smosh can buy some more boxes because if we could get the set. That would be cute. Of all the telitubbies? Let's get the set. And we just have them there

and all of us play the telitubbies and we have them? And we have a little set? I'm down. I don't have a desk, but I've been making the V-O booth my desk. We'll get to that later. Wait, wait.

There's not a lot of space anymore. Anyways, Keith, thank you so much. Yes, thank you guys for having me. And also thank you guys again for donating. You guys help change my life. I appreciate it. You're the fucking best. Love you.
