And for the final time, I'm Damien Haas. It has been the greatest honor of my life to co-host this podcast. And joining us today is Amanda Lehan Cantow. Whoa!

She's back! I'm back, and I'm in this, I'm in this seat. And you're, because you're the guest for right now, unless you do, how do you feel about that? So have I been replaced? Well, no. Yeah, well, in a way, for a minute. Yeah? Yeah, until today, and then you get it back.

Yeah, it's... So why am I not in my seat? I thought I handed off at the end, and it's just like, well, go get him, Tiger. Is that what you said, Shane? Is that what you said he could do? Forget what I said, but, you know, you're back, so whatever you want to do. No, no, no, it's cool that you boys are having fun. Yeah, yeah, it's been...

It's been fun. It's been fun. Yeah, no, I've been watching. Oh, yeah. Yeah, in the dark at 4 in the morning while I'm pumping breast milk. What are you, Ian? He wishes, honey.

He wishes. Six, seven. No. You cannot. Amanda, you've been back for a minute. Guys, I left and let me tell you, honey. Period. I'm a different girl.

I forgot your kid is Gen Alpha. Oh, my God. My kid is almost four months, and guys, I'm cool. Is your kid Gen Alpha? Is that, or is that the next? That's the next one. What's the next one? Your kid's a damn beta.

No. Wait, what's the next one? What is my, what is my son? Gen Beta. My son is a beta? Well, clip it. Clip it. Playing on his 18th birthday.

I don't like this. Oh, no. Anyways. We've cultivated a rancid vibe to start this. Yeah. I love it. Yeah. Wow.

Welcome back. Yeah, guys, pretty cool. Get out of my seat. Okay. Oh, I guess that's literally all it took. I thought I was going to have to fight. Yeah. Because I actually was ready.

Yeah. If you wanted me to. Oh, we're trading. That's better. That's even better. Oh, yeah. We're training. That's nice.

No, bring in Jack Septukeye again. Yeah, you're going to sit right there. Jack Septukeye was great. Oh, Jack Septukeye was awesome. Like Amanda. Remember that those other days. Jack Septic guy was just so cool. I'm kidding.

We're kidding He commented on one of my photos recently It was just so funny Oh, he's the best Did you guys like miss me at all Or what's the deal? Okay, for being earnest here Let's be earnest

It's important Yes, absolutely I will say If I was being honest It like didn't feel like you were gone For a while Because I think it was just like Your presence here

Is such a big aspect of everything And like the videos that you were in Were still coming out For so long Yeah, that, like, I don't know. And then I think it was like maybe a month and a half in that I was, it was suddenly just one week. It was like, damn, where's Amanda? And then, yeah, then it started to really hit.

Now you, Damien? Everybody was, I got bullied a lot in videos. But no. I usually meant my shield and my guiding light. No one was there to protect you. And that's why I wear big comfy sweaters now so I feel comfortable. Oh, you're all cushioned off? Yeah, I'm all cushioned up.

Honey? I'm here. Thank you, Mom. And I'm so sorry, yeah. I have another son now, and it's Damien. I'm so sorry that I left you. If I call you Mommy, is HR going to get involved? Mommy?

Mama-sita? Yes, Mommy. Mamacita? I'm giving you your seat. And I did not watch, I did not watch the whole show, Love Island. I watched that clip, one clip. Yeah. I know you guys told me to watch it, but I...

Oh, I'm a mommy. It really, it really hits. how long you were gone when we start talking about things from July. Yeah. And I'm like, it's almost Christmas. Like, joking aside, it is... Don't even say that. I can't handle that.

I'm already... I'm still in my post-Halloyne victory lap. Wow. I just haven't taken down my decorations yet. But, like, no, I really like... I watch a lot of smosh just in my spare time. Like, I want to keep up to date on it. And it's also like, oh, those are my friends.

And so, like, it was maybe a month or two in where it was like, I get to see Amanda, but I'm like, I haven't seen Amanda in a while. And I really did have these moments of just like, damn, like, it's, I miss you. But you're off doing important life stuff. I know. It's very trippy to be back here having gone through everything I went through. And then being back here and being like, hey, guys, six, seven. You know what I'm saying?

It's like, pretty cool stuff. It's wild because, because as a new mom, you go, am I even? funny? Am I even relevant? Are people going to care what I have to say? Is it like, am I past my time? You're going to feel this desire to cut your hair real short. You should not do it. Wait, a mom cut? A mom cut? Mom cut. I should have, I should have put on a wig and entered, and just surprised us all. And done like, because why, why do moms cut their hair that short? I think they just don't have time for things because so much is expected of them. So I'm assuming it's just like no maintenance. You know what I think it is? No maintenance.

I think it's because your kid pulls on your hair. Oh. Yes. For four months, my hair has been tightly back or braided because they pull on your hair. It's got like a tactile learning style. Yeah, exactly. They like to climb. Makes a lot of sense.

Yeah, your head. Wow. Yeah, that's great. Interesting. I've learned a lot, you guys. I bet. Yeah. And it's got to be weird to hop back into this because I imagine it was a lot of just you being

stuck in your home. Do you know what's wild is like I, my biggest fear was being stuck, right, in my home and feeling like I didn't get out. I weirdly, like, loved a lot of it because I will say to be a new mom, you have to call on your people. You have to have your people. Like, I had my mom, I had my sister, I had really close friends. And it's uncomfortable. It's uncomfortable to call on them and like ask for help. But like, the ones who know you really well are like, we got to get outside.

They're like, we got to take a shower. They remind you things because as a mom, your only focuses to, like, feed your son, right? And that is not enough. It's not enough for him. It's not enough for you. It's not enough for your partner. Like, you have to...

My mom calls it, like, you have to feed all the different parts of yourself when you're a new mom. You have to remember, like, oh, I like to journal. Oh, I like to read. I like to shower. God, I love to wash my hair. But it's like all those little things

that we do all the time we take for granted. Like this morning, He was still asleep when I woke up. I had a cup of coffee just by myself in the kitchen. Wow. Both hands on a cup. That's a damn commercial. Literally.

Like, I'm choosing me today. Ask your doctor about. No, but yeah, literally. This episode of Smoshmouth is brought to you by Zoc Doc. I am so glad we're talking about this because I'm a new mom and there are so many baby appointments and appointments for me. I just need it to be easy. and Zoc Doc is so easy and quick.

Yeah, absolutely. Zoc Doc is a free app and website where you can search and compare high quality in network doctors and click to instantly book an appointment. I was someone who delayed all doctor's appointments for so long, right? But when I finally was like,

I need to go to the doctor, but it's complicated. Finding the right doctor. I want to make sure I'm seeing the right one and that it's going to be convenient. The app makes it so simple. I was able to search for nearby doctors, same-day appointments,

I needed it. Any type of filter I wanted to put on it, I could. It was awesome. I had a doctor's appointment set that week. I love that, especially same day appointments, which is so hard to get. Also, can we talk about the app? I literally only have one hand free all the time because I got a baby in the other one. It's true. And it takes like a few steps just to get what you need on the app. And it is so easy. Like, thank you. Stop putting off those doctor's appointments and go to Zocdoc.com slash smosh mouth to find an instantly book, a top-rated doctor today. That's Z-O-C-D-C dot com slash smosh-mouth. Zoc-D-O-C-com slash smosh-mouth.

Back to the show. Oh, wow. You like what I did there? Did you miss that? I love that. I did an alley-u. You had two basketballs. You made them both.

You got both hands free now. I mean, from every conversation I've had with you, it feels like you've put in a lot of effort in, like, not losing your identity. Yeah. Like, really staying, like, it's important to kind of have a focus on yourself while going through this whole new journey. Yeah, because I hear a lot of new moms say, and my God, new moms are just, like, heroes. True, true heroes. And I just, I hear a lot of them say, like, I miss my old self, right? I miss that part of myself, but I think it's really important to, like, grieve your old self.

And simply when you're a mom, every single week, it's like you're grieving a new milestone. Yeah. Oh, wow. And which is so intense. It is so exhausting. But, like, you do not have enough room in your body and in your soul to, like, hold all of the new emotions and love and, like, all these new thoughts. So you literally have to, like, grieve parts of that. And I feel like your old self just like it starts to go away.

Yeah, it's almost like a, I feel like it's like a cracking. And you have to like pick up the pieces and like a lot of the pieces that used to fit just like really don't fit anymore. Oh. And you have to like put all these new pieces on and you're like, oh, I don't know about this. But it's like, yeah. Yeah, I just learned a lot. I'm just a different person. And in a really good way, like I feel like I'm much more patient.

I have trouble watching true crime, which is. I was going to joke about that, honestly, but that's crazy. Damien, it's real. I could not listen to Dateline. And do you know how awful that was for me? That's wild. Wow. Awful.

Say goodbye to your old self, I guess. No, seriously. I've always had trouble with true crime, and maybe it's because, like, you know, I've got my cats. And in a way, I'm a papa myself. You're a papa. I'm a papa myself. And now I, you know, you get it. No, you are.

I think if you're a papa to any animals, you are definitely a papa. Like, you know that thing when you come home and you're like, like, oh, nothing else matters but seeing their face. My cannonball of a daughter just glomping down the stairs. But I will say, I'm slowly starting to get back in the true crime, but like, there were things

I just couldn't watch. And now, if I watch like a son or a child in any bit of danger. They do that bit on I feel like Spencer, it's a family guy bit, where like Brian has, like, somehow finds out he

has a long-lost son named Dylan. and they're just like dude watch Brian change Hey dude think about Dylan Being in danger like on a train He's like oh my God oh my God No no no no I can't even think about it No no no no he's like what if Dylan was in a fire

He's like oh my god no no no no I can't even stop stop Yeah That's so that's literally what it is Your thoughts are I was telling Shane this this is so crazy But you have these weird intrusive thoughts I kept having this thought Like after I put Cole my son down

That he would somehow Now get up, open the door, and have a full man's body on him, but his baby head. Whoa. I seriously had a thought that he'd open it and go, Mom? Like a baby giraffe, like his legs were just full body. Like, he was six feet tall, but he had his little baby head. Oh, my God. Yeah, that's a nightmare.

So, yeah, I'm admitting this right here. I think that's pretty cool. I think that's like... I think that's kind of epic. It's just how powerful your baby is, like, right off the start. I think it's this fear of, like, they're going to grow. grow up really really really really really fast that's another thing that you're grieving too you're just like everyone's like oh my god they're one month and you're like yeah they're one month

it is wild like because i have i have nieces and nephews and um how you know i don't see them every day i don't see them every week but i see them every few months and it's just like every few months just like and holy shit i know yeah what the hell happened and it's it's got to be really trippy to be with them every day and especially early on where it's like oh they're suddenly laughing now yes the fuck is this oh my god i can't wait till we're there we're not at laughing but we're at silent big smiles if you ever seen someone smiles so big but it's silent yeah that's that's what i experience all the time it's just like out of curiosity what's going to be like what's going to be the thing for you we're like you know you don't want to push your life on your kids

Like, if we get to a milestone where Cole is just like, that thing, are you like, who, like, for me, it's like when my nephew was, like, apparently getting into Pokemon and was like, this is my favorite. I drew it. And I'm just like, oh, like, what's that for you? If not true crime. Yeah. Hey, kid, watch the staircase.

Okay, he's three. He's ready to get into Jeffrey Tom. The Murdoch. Yeah. He cut off one of his, like, action figure's face and, like, wore it. And I'm like, yeah, that's a good start. Have you seen The Monster on Netflix? I think about this a lot actually

Because like I'm like what How do I want to like It's so funny They're filming family feud in the other studio And we knew we were going to hear them Just shared and yelling Well I'm glad they're having a good time Yeah well we get to be here with Amanda

And they don't That's the real treat Hey I'm here guys and I'm a mom and don't you want to hear About everything The physical stuff 4 a.m pumping That's another thing that I'm like I think I told Ian and Anthony

and I definitely told Shane like full detail of my birth story and then I was like did you guys want to hear that? You guys were so sweet like yeah I'm not bothered by it What an honor to have that shared in that way You know what I mean?

Like you're going through a lot Like I don't think there's any way to Anyone here who'd be like Oh like you know we're all adults and like that's part of Well it's tough you know if you don't like medical stuff Like me Well you wouldn't know I don't mind hearing medical stuff.

Wouldn't know it from that Beppardy yesterday. And now everyone has the full timeline of what is filmed when. What is filmed when? No, it was hearing it was absolutely insane, though. And I've heard other people describe, like, labor and their birth story. But I feel like every time I've heard someone talk about it, there's something new I learn. Yeah. Like, oh, I didn't know about that aspect of it.

And look, I respect it. I think it's amazing that you went through all that and can handle all that. It sounds awful. When people go like, oh, the miracle of childbirth, I'm like, I don't know, sounds awful. Like, I don't know if it sounds like a miracle to me. It sounds like a sci-fi movie, but I'm glad you got through it. Like the movie Alien and Predator? Yeah, that's what's happening.

Truly, like, I have so much respect for people who go through it. Me too. Damn. I'm not familiar with the details of your birth, and I won't ask you for it on this podcast. I'll tell you later. I did think recently, I was in New Zealand, and, um, Got to see like I actually got to see a couple of kiwi birds like got to see a couple people give birth Yeah, it's awesome and it's do it on the street there. It's great

Oh no like healthcare system so fine. It's it's it's whatever But no a key if a kiwi's this big its egg is like this big and I'm like oh my god why would nature do that and then I'm like that's kind of like people That's really no it's literally like yeah think about it their your baby is huge it's like I remember in it thinking this is the most effed up thing I've ever done in my life Like, I wasn't like, oh my God, I'm connecting to a higher spirit. I was like, this is the most effed up thing I've ever seen in my life. And I gripped Gardet's hand to the point of crushing bones. Wow. But you know what?

Yeah. When it was all said and done, I was like, I am the most incredible woman on this planet. Like, I was like, I. Hey, hey. You are brave. I am incredible. And every other woman is incredible. And the nurses are, there was this nurse that literally, Garda was like, you can call me Papa H.

And she was like, okay, daddy. She only called him Daddy. And she was like, just the greatest person ever. And she was so calm. And I was screaming. And she was just like, Daddy, Mommy doesn't look so good right now. So Daddy needs to, like, she was just, all the nurses were. I love them so much

I can't imagine the alternative where she's like you're acting really intense right now you're kind of being alive no imagine your nurse being overwhelmed you'd be like oh we never see this before most of them just tap

to hands out like Michigan J. Frog the hello my baby hello my honey oh my god we haven't seen this anywhere call in the main doctor and you're just like what no like I mean I mean kind that's what they were invented for

I mean kind of they do Chainsawes. Really? Yeah. Sorry. Whoa. Like I said, I learned something new every time. Oh, take a birth class.

You're going to go, clamps are for what? Like, suction, what? Keep your legs from falling, clean off. Yeah. I will say one thing, and I've already told Shane this, is that it felt like there was a rocket ship deep inside of me that was ready to delatch from my walls and burst out of my bottom half. And that my bottom half was going to go to space. and my top half was going to stay on the bed. So the epidural was damn good, huh?

Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, okay. Wow. You know when you try to hold out. Yeah. Yeah. I know that, hey.

Hey. I feel you. But yeah, you know what? He's here. He's super healthy, and that's literally all I could ask for. And he is the sweetest little boy ever. And my mom told me that, like, she doesn't see me in him at all, which is super super super super. Okay.

Love to hear that. No, he looks. Are you sure it's yours? Honestly, I don't know Did you imagine if I was like This isn't mine? Yeah Turn to the nurse and you're like

How dare you? You were shouting out something's very sweet about nurses And then I made a chainsaw joke So I just want to No, no nurses literally It's shocking to think like They are just doing that all day every day And I will say

I would like to learn from them Because they have a really good job Of being kind, empathetic slash like I'm holding a firm boundary here We need to get you up Like, no. Like, I really, really appreciated them.

I will say birth was the scariest thing in my mind ever. Like skydiving, fine, scary. Birth was like, this is the scariest thing. Like, I don't even know if I want a child. Luckily, I was able to have a kid. And then the birth happened. And now I'm like, oh, I did that. Yeah.

I can go back to Smoshmouth. Yeah, I can do T&D. Yeah, if you can do that, I think you can. I think this is pretty easy in comparison. I can do try not to laugh blind pairs You did blind pairs yesterday And I was like, can I do this? And Shane's like, yeah

Yeah, but wait till you play this is not a hat. I've heard a lot of hubbub about that And I don't I watched that episode That's what that game is, got it It's a tough game I want to play Because I can do anything

Yeah, it's pretty hard I don't know I could get burst of the hat Anyways You look great Thank you You really do I feel amazing

being a mom is like a very wonderful spiritual experience it's like oh my god that was hard and then it's like oh i get it do you know what i mean how long after uh you brought the baby home did did you have time to do anything or like did like when did you finally have time to like watch a tv show or like or like read an article tv show was weeks i read consistently okay i read up until he was born and I read literally day one. Wow. Because you are, I was pumping, like, nonstop every two. I was pumping nine times a day.

Wow. So, those every two hours. All day, 24 hours. Me at the gym. Oh, gross. Let's go. God, boys. Yeah, pumping weights is exactly the same as pumping milk from your body that you feed your son to grow.

You're so great, James. Thanks, dude. But, yeah, I kept up reading, which is crazy. What were you reading? Oh, romanticcy books. Nice. Wow. Actually, I was reading this series called Blood and Steel,

which sounds really wrong to read as a new mom. But it was epic. It was like this woman, like, training. And it made me feel strong. And there's a hot guy in it, too, which was, like, really fun. I'd be shocked if there wasn't. Oh, I wouldn't read it. Yeah.

In the world where everyone's not attracted to you. But you got a sword. Yeah. But I would say a show First of all, H and I barely saw each other It was like ships in the night So a show on my own probably took like We did rewatch Portlandia

Because I really needed a lot Yeah, low touch, laughter It was so good I think that was like three weeks Okay But like us watching a movie Rare I don't even know if we've done it yet

Wow Yeah Like think about it a long period of time. Like, Frankenstein just came out. And I'm like, oh, I want to watch it. Two and a half hours. I'm still going to, I'm still trying to watch

Frankenstein. I'm like, oh, I got time. Oh, wait, no, it's 10.30. I probably shouldn't start it now. Right. Cort and I watched it. I loved it. Yeah?

But I also love, like, the look of Guillermo del Toro's just anything. Yeah. And, hey, I'll shout him out. Spencer's a hater. Oh, yeah, he hates it. I think he's posed on his story, so I don't feel bad. But he's also a fan of the book.

No, let's burn him right here. Let's, you know, yeah, let's beat the shit out of it. Mary Shelley would have hated Spencer. Yeah. No, I think it's good that Spencer hated it because I'd heard a lot of good stuff. Spencer hated it. Someone else here was like, nah. So I'm like, great, now my expectations are back to normal.

I will say I talk to him. His criticisms are fair. Maybe I'll watch it, like, over the course of a month. I think you'll like it. It's a gorgeous movie. But, yeah, pause it and watch it. Yeah. But anyways.

Yeah, that's, I would say that. But you are watching Breaking Bad now for the first time. Which is wild That's as a first baby watch show H has tried It is constant He'll literally go Why are we even searching for a show

When there's one show You should be watching It is kind of fair It is okay I'm very glad I didn't start When I was pregnant Because it is a disgusting Really hard show

But I started it I said yes Finally And it is so good And so messed up It is so effed up I don't know what was more effed up, my birth or like Breaking Bad. How far are you?

I've heard that before. Season two, episode 12. Wow. Okay. Yeah. It's a messed up show. It's a really messed up show, but I'm super into it. Also, 2000 style is bad.

Yeah. So bad. Like, she's making her baby room, and it's like, it's very bad. So I'm struggling with that aspect, but. Was it just a matter of, like, not being. in the mood or like, are you, I'm kind of this way where people are like, you have to watch this, you need to see it and the more people like

laid on thick, the more I'm like, I kind of don't really want to now, there's like a lot of pressure. I am 100% like that, Damien. And I told my husband multiple times. I was like, so the more you push, the more I don't want to watch it. And he's like, okay, well. You can lead a horse to water, but it doesn't want that water. Yeah, it doesn't

want that water until it does, and it's breaking bad. And I'm watching it. That's great. And how much you were watching Smoshmouth while you were gone. I was. I was watching Smoshmouth. I did see that Angela reveal that I do read all the call sheets. That was hilarious. A hilarious reveal. It was like a private conversation that her and I had. You got a big day tomorrow. Yeah. I don't know what it is. I get the call sheets and I'm interested. I want to know what everyone's shooting. I want to know how long their days are. I want to

know what's for lunch. I want to know what the song of the day is. Thank you, Alexina. I want to know. So maybe I could listen to it, you know, at some point. It's like you're here. I want to know what's going on when I wasn't there. And it was really fun. And then I watched a lot of the Smosh Mouse. I watched the care package. I will say I didn't watch that one episode that's about Pokemon.

Because you hate Tommy. Yeah. Actually, yes. And I need to tell him that. Right. Yeah, I do. Not to be fair, because we got so in the nitty gritty with things, there wasn't as much opportunity for like, you know,

if we have like a reality show episode, will be like, all right, so for those at home who don't know, there was this big thing that happened and da-da-da-da-da-da. We give context. And the Pokemon one, it was just like, it probably sounded like a different language, that we were just like, oh, yeah, I like Gardivore, and Garivores can fly.

It's hard to, like, yeah, explain from the basics, the foundation of what Pokemon is. I guess it's a game. I can't wait until Cole just somehow falls into something nerdy that the rest of us love, that you're going to be like, okay, I guess I have to fully understand Pokemon now. I actually, watching Breaking Bad was the first step of the new Amanda.

Wow, that's not good. I know, and I know. I totally know. Next you'd be like, no, I'm getting into cooking. I'm like, what? I'm changing. I think I need to start getting into some more nerdy culture, which I've always been down for.

I think I need to get a Russian tutor. You're going to start. going to start learning Russian. So you can finally understand your husband. So I can do way better impressions of my husband. Funny. Also, his mom comes over and she only speaks Russian, which is what we want. I would love Cole to speak Russian and speak English.

Can I make a recommendation? Yes, please. Pimzler. Pimzler is what I use for language learning. Pimsler. P-I-M-S-L-E-U-R. It's language learning that basically has you like repeat a phrase, but it'll have you like repeat individual parts of it.

So it'll be like, you know, da-da-da-da-da, how are you, good morning? And then it'll like say that again. And then maybe a couple lessons later, they'll be like, how do you say, how are you good morning? And you go, da-da-da-da. They're like, you just learned the word for good evening. How would you say, hello, good evening? And then you sort of put it together and you go, oh, now I know why this sentence

structure is the way it is. And now if I learn vocabulary, I can just plop it in. So for the little bit of Japanese, I will. for the little bit of Japanese that I learned for our trip and got by that was all Pimsler. I've just started Mandarin Pimsler but I'm deciding between that or maybe I divert to

Korean. I'm not sure between Mandarin or Korean. But anyway just point is like it's a lot more accessible to just like listen to and go through your day and repeat it like it's muscle memory and practice. That's amazing. And you've got such a great situation where once you learn enough then

it's just like you have people who speak it so you get to like immerse yourself in it more and if you just kind of draw that line of like let's stick to that as much as possible your grandmother and age just start learning to Gallag so that they can still talk about you in the room. No I know I'm like oh they're not

going to be able to talk about me. Sorry we're speaking Swedish now for some reason but yeah Helena's Gardet's mom is so funny I was like oh I want to get a Russian tutor she's like don't do Russian tutor like well there's a I have a friend in Belarus. She'll teach you at four in the morning. That's the time. And I'm like, I just want to go through a service and pay it. Like, I don't, she, you know, she's very much like my mom. Like, oh, I have a guy. And I know that's fun and cool, but I just want to, you know.

I get it. She wants to help, but also, like, yeah, I know the feeling of needing to now make yourself way less. Sorry, I'm just stumbling through the words. Yeah. The feeling of, like, having to super inconvenience yourself in order to let someone else feel like they. have helped. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. But, I mean, teaching a language is that such a skill in itself. You want to make sure you got someone to trust. But then once you're going to know enough, then, yeah, you talk to the people you know.

I just think it's going to be so wild to watch my son grow up and, like, how is he going to, like, code switch and like do these English and Russian? It'll be super cool. Is he going to love video games? Like, to your earlier question about, like, am I going to push something? 99% chance he's going to like video games.

Yeah, am I going to push something that I'm really into or I see him like I'm age and I are so excited to like see his personality and kind of harness that although I'm battling this way I grew up because the way I grew up my mom was like so you're gonna do every sport

oh wow and I don't want to do that but I'm also like does he need a little push I'm not quite there yet it's just simmering thoughts I mean I feel like you you give him the like the best thing you can do is I'm saying this as someone who has no kids but you give him the opportunity to try things and then as his own person he'll find his own path and you build that excitement

and that support but because yeah that was we all experienced being forced to do things and how that made us want to rebel against that I don't want to do that I want to like I basically want to like do trial and error things like I want to read adventure books and see if he's like into that I want to like maybe go and play a game and see if he's into that like yeah yeah I feel like That's, you know, again, not apparent, but, like, I was given the opportunity as a kid to be like, okay, we're going to start Boy Scouts and we're going to start karate. And then as I did, like, a couple months of both, it was just like, okay, we kind of maybe only have time for one, which one would you prefer?

And I was like, karate. And they were like, great. Of course. And then started doing theater at, like, you know, grade three or whatever. And eventually it became a conflict of like, well, your black belt test is this day, but the actual show for the, you know, play is on this day, which one could we do? And I was just like, okay, I guess I. What did you choose?

I did the, I mean, I did the show, I was already cast in it, but it was like, turns out you can wait a while and, you know, this is what it's like to put something on the back burner, karate you can come back to, and like, I did, so, I don't know. That's actually a really smart way to teach some, teach a kid. This episode of Smoshmouth is brought to you by Aura Frames. ORAFrakes keeps families connected even when they are miles apart.

I feel like knowing you, there's no way Cole is not going to have an incredible. life and future. Like, you're just very, you're very supportive. You're a very empathetic person. There's no way you're going to have an issue.

Thank you. I agree. And look, if he's bilingual and knows Russian and H gets him into Dota 2 or those online games, he's been able to bust that out at times.

People are going to think they're going to be able to speak Russian, get around him, and he's going to suddenly know it. I'm like half like, ugh, getting him into video games. I'm like, oh.

It's just going to happen. It's going to happen. It's not even like a boy thing. It's every kid nowadays plays so much video games. Which is, you know, has nothing to do video games, but this is why I said 6'7. You guys didn't actually ask why I said 6'7. Do you guys want to know? Yeah, I'd love to.

It's okay. Can I say you came back to the office and I was talking to you and you were saying that your niece and nephew were visiting. Genevieve and Beckett. I'm shouting you out right now because they were like, can you shout out? me out somewhere and I said, yes, I can. Love you. Actually, it's Bucket. Beckett has a nickname. It's Bucket. That's a cool nickname. Teacher calls him Bucket by accident. Oh, okay. But you were talking about them hanging out and then I go, because I just recently saw my nieces and nephew for like a weekend for a couple days. And I was like, were they saying six, seven? And you. I lost my mind. It's like he said the secret code. I was like, you know six, seven? Yeah, I had never heard it, obviously, until I was hanging out with my nieces and nephew who are Gen Alpha, or they're like around 10.

Yeah. And I think in the span of two days, they said it upwards of 10,000 times. I could not believe how many times they were saying it. Now, unfortunately, we were playing Flip 7, which was a, Courtney and I were so excited to be like, we're going to play Flip 7 with the family. Everyone's going to be so excited. and, oh, man, I was drawing those cards and I'm like, I just hope I'm out.

I don't want to, I don't want to, if I had a, if I had a seven, if I had a seven, I'm like, please draw another seven. Like, I just get me out of here. It was crazy. Yeah. I heard it for the first time at a con. I was like, these two, like, I don't know, probably Gen Al thought were youngest possible Gen Z kids came up and, like, they were looking at what I was doing.

And they were like, oh, you were in Fortnite? I was like, yeah, they were like, who'd you play? I'm like, oh, I've done a bunch of characters. They're like, how many? I'm like, and honest to God, I'm just like, I don't know, at this point, like, six, seven. And they both were just like six, seven, so just like six, seven. And I thought they were just sort of like making fun of, you know, I thought they were just doing teenage things of being like, ha ha, he said anything and we're going to just, like, parrot it back to him.

So that's, yeah, that's. You walked right into that. I sure didn't. And little did I know. I mean, they said it nonstop. And my sister, she was like, I think it just means, like, whatever. And she's like, I don't know what it means. She's like, they cannot stop saying it. And I was like, okay, but now I can't stop saying it. And that's going to help us to have

them not say it anymore because we're going to start saying it on camera. And we're all over 30 and they're going to be like, we need Spencer on the case. Spencer needs to start saying it a bunch and then we'll kill it. Um, wait, there's another one though that I wanted to ask. Alexina's in the room. She says she knows it. They, Asked me if I was preppy or clean? And I'd never heard this. Have you heard it? I don't know this one, no.

Is this so millennial, lame that I'm doing this right now? Every, every video, every video has a comment that's like, this is so millennial. And it's like, yeah, man. That's how old we are. You came here. I'm millennial and a mom. Okay, just get it. I don't care.

Alexina, what is preppy and clean? Okay, so I feel like you're overthinking it. Clean is literally just like a clean girl aesthetic. Oh, clean girl aesthetic. Yeah, and then preppy is just like a preppy girl aesthetic, like, you know, pleaded skirt, like, prepping in the sorority. Okay. That's literally it. Oh, okay.

It's just two different. It's just two different aesthetics. So clean is a clean, clean, clean is like a clean aesthetic, clean girl. Preppy is literally preppy. Yeah. Like, okay, pleated skirt. Shout out to this generation for making that straightforward, because when I was a youngster, would be like, would you say you're bumpy, you're not bumpy? And I'd be like, I'd be like, I don't know.

And they'd be like, well, think about, like, I don't know, your spine. I'd be like, I guess I'm bumpy. And they're like, bumpy means not straight. You're gay! And like, that's so much more work than just. Ours was so mean. I feel like our generation was so mean. This is simply like, oh, cool.

I do have to give it credit. Like all my, all these kids are saying six, seven. I was like, when we were kids, we were yelling penis. Like, I was like, or we were yelling inappropriate shit. So I'm like. And who could yell penis louder? Why? I heard that in New Zealand, though.

Like, literally I was walking along and there was a car window down. It was like two younger fellows and being like, penis. There it is. I'm like, oh. Oh, it's... No. I wasn't being like directly around. It'll never get old.

You have one, don't you? Like, no. It'll always stick around. Yeah. You know, that one's, that one's... Fun? Universal. Just like six, seven.

Let's just... Yeah, let's bring it back. I was fine with it. I'm like, hey, any meme. I'm like, this is the basis of it, right? We're saying a thing and it's stupid. It means nothing. It was how many times they said it.

Got it. But I think that's the 10 years old aspect, not the meme of it aspect. But one of my cousins is a teacher. And she was saying at their school, they have to call grades in reverse right now. Oh, yeah, you said that. They cannot. They have to go seventh grade first and then sixth grade because it's a whole mess.

And they've banned it on the buses and everything. How do teachers deal? That's what I want to know is how do teachers go, what's this new thing that you're obsessed with you? I mean, it's worth it for the high pay. Shout out teachers. They do. Insanely hard job. Teachers and nurses.

My God. Rolling, just Scrooge McDuck and right into the gold coins. Anyways, I want to move on. Yeah, let's move on. Great reference to that show because I actually know that show. Thank you. Oh, yeah. That one's timeless.

And hey, they've got a Duck Tales video game, and that's for your youngster. Maybe all won't. Oh, he'll play it. Yeah, I like that. Hey, you're going to be cool. You'll be able to talk about Resident Evil and FNAF and all those things. Listen, I am pretty cool. Yeah, dude.

My niece and nephew were like, my nephew was like, see, have you played Fortnite? He's six. And I was like, yeah, once. And it was pretty epic. That's, it is epic. It's pretty cool.

It's actually illegitimately. In their eyes, they're like, oh my God, you're a celebrity. And I was like, that's crazy. Tell me more. I am pretty cool. I already feel like you're fine. You don't have to play video games

because we talked about this. We talked about this on, I think the Pokemon episode that you didn't watch where we talked about what's so cool about you and Angela in all the games videos that you guys do. I'll watch it. I'll rewatch it. It's like yeah, you guys don't play video games but you show such an interest

in it and you're not judging it. You're going, this is amazing. This thing that I don't partake in, but I respect it and I appreciate it. And that's kind of, I think, the most important thing and I think a lot of kids don't get that from their parents growing up. Where it's kind of scoffed at and it goes, oh this show that you're into or oh your games as opposed to

going wow this is amazing what you're doing and what you're interested in I think that's all it takes you don't need to play it in fact I feel like a lot of kids don't want their parents to like do the same things they kind of want their own

they want their own thing in their own space but to appreciate it yeah some of the like most exciting moments of my youth where like you're playing a game that you love and like a parent walks in the room and just like watches for a couple minutes and you're like, this is pretty cool. Like, I bet they, I bet they all, I bet they get it now.

Like, and that's the feeling I get when like either you or Angela, like, I love those videos, but I feel so deeply jealous of Spencer when it's just like, oh yeah, I'll just play Resident Evil for them. And I'm like, you lucky bastards. Oh, yeah. Why don't we, remember when you and I played, um, Baldur's Gate? Yeah, that was super fun. There was a game recently that people were like, you need to play this with Amanda.

I think it was one that I streamed. I'm not sure. But anyway. I would love to play a game with you I think that would be so fun That would be amazing We don't even have to film it You're just gonna hang out if you feel like it

Yeah let's do it Can my son come? Yeah Maybe he shouldn't be watching it If he's okay around cats I got two of them I don't know That's the other thing

I don't know yet You can borrow one if you need it Yeah Yeah Totally Borrow a cat Yeah, I'll borrow a cat You tried to move on like three times

I know it's okay So many times I just wanted to get away from 6-7 I'm fine with anything Why did you say it again? Well because I had to address what I was trying to move away from. Okay, Shane, it's time for sure.

But I do want to shout out Damien and Angela. You guys did such an incredible job posting. It was really kind of, I think, one of the hardest decisions we had to make this year was when you were going, we were like, who's going to co-host? And we truly looked at the entire cast, and I was like, it could be anybody. Like, this cast is so amazing. But we went with Angela, and then, you know, I thought it was such a, fun opportunity to do a show with you again.

It's been so long and it was such a blast. It was really, really special. And I, like, thank you for, you know, having me do this and thank you for, like, you know, being okay with somebody popping in for a bit as opposed to just, like, pause the show. And I don't know, like, it's so cool because I love this place and I know I'm often, like, very busy doing other things and we all have our own lives, but, like, it just, it's felt cool being here more and, like, you know, being a little more, like, finger on the pulse

of like, hey, now we're checking in for this week. For sure. I loved, I, I, I watched it, and I felt really, like, comfortable, and I loved watching Angela be a host with you because I thought your chemistry was so good. And then, of course, it's just, like, you guys have this, like, unending chemistry. It's so good. You have so many years of friendship. Like, I just thought it was such a great, great pairing, and I really, you guys killed it.

And you warmed my seat for me. Yes. Thanks. No problem. I'm naturally very warm all the time. I almost never wear hoodies, so it's for you. Oh, thank you. Are you hot under there? Actually, cooking. I don't have a shirt under this, and I was like, I was like, okay, maybe it'll be cool enough if I just wear the hoodie.

You're wearing a hoodie and no shirt underneath? No, that's the only way it'll ever be cool enough. What a gamble. Yeah. What a gamble? What if you get hot? That is a, RDRM. That is bold. Look at how, if you're not, if you're only listening, he's wearing, like, the cutest little candy.

It's white rabbit candy. An artist made like this based off a white rabbit And if you like Chinese candy at all It's real good It's like if a tootsie roll was like sweet cream flavored Ooh, that sounds amazing Incredible, it's wrapped in rice paper So you can just have the paper straight off

Oh, okay Slina's nodding as well I'd love some Damn, I remember Salinas childhood All right The first time I had it I was like in elementary school

And I had a friend who's Who is you know Chinese America And her parents were Chinese immigrants And she's like Oh I brought them this candy. And it was like, the course of my life changed forever. I was like, where can I find this? And I was like, transporting through the universe.

I remember being like eight years old and my parents were like wanting to shop at like cost plus world market or whatever. And I was just like, oh my God, there's a international candy section. Where? And I found white rabbit and I was like, mom and dad, can I get this? It's always heartbreaking. When I, when you travel anywhere and you realize snacks are just better everywhere else. Yeah. They really are. Everybody's got snacks on lock.

They really are. Brought back a lot of Whitaker's chocolate from New Zealand. it's better. Ooh, yeah, chocolate. God, I got to go to New Zealand and, you know, have someone scream penis out the window at me. Yeah, I know a guy.

Great. It's one of those places where, like, I hate it when people are like, you should just travel. Everyone should just travel. It's just like, motherfucker. How? It's expensive. It takes time.

Like, I'm not going to just be like, just travel. But what I'll say is that it's on a lot of people's bucket list. And of the places where someone's like, oh, you've got to go here, you got to go here. It's one of the most live up to expectations kind of places. Lord of the Rings.

Cool. Totally Lord of the Rings just beautiful location. The people care about the environment so much. I saw like no litter like birds on the street weren't running away from people which means they're not going to like screw with the birds and be like, oh, it's just like

oh people leave things to be in peace. That's really cool. I got real close to. And the birds talk? They do. Yeah. Well there was one of those like mimicry birds that I like there's an Instagram post where if you see me like looking in a window like the most in autistic bliss you've ever seen me it's it was one of those

birds that just does noises that it's heard love that super cool speaking of Instagram I was off Instagram the entire good for you I thought you were mad at me and wasn't like in my posts I'm kidding no I didn't I didn't see it I was the most offline I've ever been and let me tell you

it was amazing I genuinely didn't miss it like I really I miss but the thing is I caught up with my people, like, through text, but, like, I didn't miss it simply because I having, being able to be super present with my son was the most important thing. Also, like, the only time you have to be on your phone is literally five minutes out of the day. And what are going to do? Look on Instagram? No. You're going to go take a shower and wash your hair.

That's great. Yeah. So I just, I loved not being online. I loved it. We're going to take advantage of that because next week's episode is going to be Trevor and I catching you up on all the like viral like internet YouTube stuff I'm excited to hear because I still listen to some like daily podcasts. Okay. Yeah.

Got some new Harambe updates. Yeah, he's back. Back? I'm just kidding. Don't do. Sorry, he's not back. He's not back. Oh, I don't see. Why would you say that, Shane? That was awful. No. How dare you? He's not back. He's right there. He's right there. He never left. He never left. That's right.

He's in our hearts. Speaking of never leaving, can I run to the right and grab a bottle of water real fast? Yeah. No. Thank you. Do you need anything, Mama? Papa? Papa?

No, I'm good, Papa. Oh my God. Do people just call... Am I going to be Mama now? If you want. This episode of Smoshmouth is brought to you by Tovala. Amanda, do you like cooking? Okay, I love cooking, but I actually have zero time because I have a newborn, and I miss it.

I genuinely miss cooking. Yeah. That makes a lot of sense. But if you don't have much time on your hands, it sounds like you could use Tava. Tavaa is a smart meal delivery service, fresh meals, and a smart oven that does the cooking for you. I recently had the sesame garlic, soy, salmon, and green beans with edamomame, kale, quinoa, and crispy onion. It was fantastic. Stop. That sounds so gourmet and delicious. So where was my invite? Why didn't you invite me over a fork? You just scan the meal's QR code, pop it in the oven, and it cooks everything perfectly. Steams, bakes, broils automatically. It's got, it can do everything, right? And if you're someone who's low on time, which even I find myself low on time sometimes, it's very useful. They sent us a couple ovens. They work fantastic.

Oh, yeah. Angela showed me the oven. It looks so easy to use. I would love one of those. So if you could just... Okay. Well, think about it. It's a pretty nice oven.

Remember, with Tavala, dinner is taken care of. You slayed that. Yeah, back to the show. Amanda, did you have a favorite moment from watching Smoshmouth while you were

gone? Like, maybe a favorite... Was there just moments that stood out to you? Well, really, like, the whole call sheet back and forth made me laugh a lot. Like, that whole episode made me laugh a lot. It felt like Spencer and Andrew were like, no, I know we're better. No, no, no. I was texting her more.

No, no, I was texting here more. In a competition. I don't know. I'm really jealous that Vic was here and I wasn't here doing the monologues. Also, I love nothing more than to play casting directors. Yeah, it's the funniest shit. It's one of my favorite things, and the fact that you were, like, on your phone the whole time was, you know, triggering and relatable. Just a real thing that's happened to all of us.

What do we want to order for lunch? Yeah, what did you say you wanted to order for lunch when you did that? If you guys hadn't seen that episode, it's so, so, so good. Vic was on fire. And then the spooky. I miss the, have we only done creepy pastas with you? I think you did one with Tommy, right? No, because we finally, we've talked about it where, um, oh, yeah.

Yeah, where, you know, we have our no sleep episode that never aired. I never aired with you. Because I never got approval on that story, which I'm so sad about, but I want to respect that. So we do have, we did that, but we just did that for ourselves. You did it with court. And it was a great time. But yeah, with Courtney, we didn't actually read many creepypies. I had a hard time finding them and sourcing ones that are short enough to read on the podcast.

So we kind of just talked a little bit more. I did introduce them to SCPs. There's a whole different thing. Yeah. Which I can bring up again at some point for you. It's a cool website where it's a government that tracks all these entities around the world. And so there's a page for like every single type of entity. Did I not tell you about what my dad thinks is out there via the government?

Didn't I tell you? I feel like your dad maybe Your dad maybe believes in SCPs for real. Oh, 100%. Wait, what did he say? I don't know why I texted Shane this like month one into my returning leave. My dad told me on the phone asking about Cole.

How did everything go? And then he was like, yeah, show I, we were talking about the Scars guards. Scars guards. Oh, yeah, yeah. He was like, oh yeah, you know, show those Swedish guys. So everyone who's Swedish.

So most people who are Swedish There's beings There's beings and they wear Swedish people And they're entities And they're out in the ocean And they're covered by mist And so you can't see them But the government knows they're there

And so he's like So the Nordic The Nordic people The Nordic folks I was saying Nordic folks I was essentially entities Okay

And so those Skyskite guys You know? Not human. And I'm like, Dad, the guy who plays it, he's like, you know, you never know. The Nordic people. He's got a point. Our entities. And I was like, where did you hear that?

He goes, everybody knows this Amanda. Everybody knows the Scarsgards. I mean, your dad thinks, uh, your dad thinks Bill Scarsgard actually is Pennywise. No, he's doing that way too well. That'd be a damn good cover. No, my dad, honestly. My dad loves aliens. It's a known thing in my family.

And so all sweet. All Swedish people are aliens. He calls him Yai Yels. You guys know what Yai Yel's are? Yeah, Yel's is a certain entity? Come on, you don't know what Yai Yel's are? I don't keep up with this. This is amazing.

Super weird stuff. So, yeah, Yel's. I feel like we graze past entities. When he said there's entities in the ocean, is it like murr folk? Because I know the Little Mermaid is like, in Denmark. I love Mervo.

Is like the statues in Denmark. I love Mervok. No, I think it's like, Yayosh And like aliens and beings It's more of that Interesting And they're Swedish

Yeah Nordic So the Scarsguards He believes the Scars guards Are not human He said it's possible Like he doesn't have evidence Yeah exactly Give me a break

They're all working Come on A whole family of working actors Scars guard Come on They're all so good Talented Stop it

So anyways That's my bit On entities that I had texted you. Yeah, I think you did. And I apologize for any texts that probably were wild in those times. No, I appreciated all of them. In fact, I started texting you because I started drinking wine over the break.

And I truly, I think Cort and I got into it truly because I was just like, oh, I miss Amanda. And this is like something that you love. And it gave me an excuse to text you to be like, oh, I'm trying this type of wine. I do feel I really have to hold back when you text me. The first time I texted you, you did write a book back about wine. I could have stayed up until 1 a.m. texting you about wine. And then finally, like, you texted me last night.

Like, I'm having a glass of Kianti. And I went off. And then finally I had to be like, okay, enjoy your glass. Amanda, stop. I will always appreciate people talking about things they love. Yeah. Like, I can listen to it forever. Even if I know nothing about it, it's my favorite thing.

I just love that you... Do you drink wine? I don't. That's okay. I don't drink at all. I stopped right after, like right after shutdown was like starting to get back open again because I like, I don't know, I drank a fair amount during that time just as like a thing to do with like an ex-girlfriend. And it was like I looked in the mirror as we were, you know, winding down and I was just like, oh, oh, I think I've gained a lot of weight just from this. I think I'm done now.

And I just never went back. I get that. I totally get that. I think that's great. Maybe one day I'll have wine again or like a beer with a meal, but like, yeah, I just, it was, it packs on too fast. It does. And I, but like, wine is such, I'm, you know, you know how much I love wine. And the fact that you're getting into it just literally makes me so giddy.

Like, all I want to do is buy my favorite wines and just, like, give them to you so you can try them. And the fun part of it is like, I am so fine if I give you a wine. or I'm like, oh, try this, and you're like, yeah, no. I love that. Yeah. And you gave me an amazing wine. Yeah. And I haven't opened it yet.

We found an old-ass wine. From 1984? Whoa. 86. Yeah. I knew, I knew, as I was getting into it, that I wanted to give you a gift of like an old bottle of wine. I thought it'd be really fun. And, hey, maybe it's going to be garbage.

And I think that'd be hilarious. That's what you texted me last night. I think that'd be really funny. Because the cork is probably maybe a little bit. You got to use like a special tool to get it out because it's going to might crumble. But it's a bored dough or Coatsteroon. I think it's a Coatsteroon. I'm so excited.

And if it is bad, I'll let you know and we'll cook with it. Use it as vinegar. Who cares? Yeah. No, going back to just these past few weeks or a couple months, there was just some insane moments. Hosting with Angela was wild because every episode Angela would say something. absolutely insane she would say something

before she thought about it and then we'd all have a moment where we're like what was just said and then I feel like in a similar way Damien when you hosted every episode

you said a joke that just blew my mind and the best was was any time multiple times Jonathan would be trying to unwrap candies and

and he's not here Oh did he get booted out of this room? Mr. Chips is not here no this is Jonathan Chips. Alex Sina was a sign. Jonathan's over on the other set for Family Feud.

Because you guys kicked him out. No. We had no problem. I thought it was hilarious. Here's the thing. I'm like really sensitive to sound and it like distracts me a lot. But I've learned that like, hey, not everybody's wired that way. So it's just not a big deal. I've learned to usually move past it. It was when Shane and I think Angela are also, yeah, we're like both sort of starting to look over. Oh my God.

Incredible. You know what's crazy. That's quieter than what Jonathan was doing. That's crazy. Are these Werther's? Those are Werther's. How old are you guys? I'm young.

I'm sorry to the Worther's original brand who I compared that sound to, which is clearly not as bad. Good on you, Werther's. Wait, I'm listening to Damien Talk and you started doing it, and then it was like, I felt like I was in there. I was like, ding, ding, everyone in this room has Wurthers. This is incredible. That was so overwhelming In a great way I feel very seeing

I'm actually so excited to eat this I just don't want to do it while I have a microphone You should do it and just like really like clack it around Just really clack it around Poor Jonathan though I looked over and I see him on the other side of the room Just kind of like It was hilarious

Also Jonathan by the way is the most like fun loving Like life of the party's sweetest person I would not just like If it wasn't an okay vibe I would not have just done that. Absolutely. But also, there was like a couple more times where that happened, and then his phone went off.

And I'm like, are we fucking joking? So he got booted out of this room. It was so unfortunate. I felt so bad for him. Because Jonathan's also the, it has to be the one before we start filming, to be like, all right, our phone's silent, everything set up. And then he kept happening to him. It was frankly hilarious.

But it reminds me of whenever Ollie or Zion is writing on the, on the mark and it just you hear the squeaks of the marker it's just remember we do we're doing ad reads and i i don't know what occurs with ad reads it's like me and shane are just giggle fest yeah it's like okay mom and dad are gone let's do this and literally it's either it's usually ollie he's writing and it's just the marker it's like and i can't i lose it i actually can't stop laughing I don't know why. Yeah. It's like, it's when you're having a serious conversation and someone in the corner of the room just, like, farts or does something stupid.

And you're like, I really want to listen to you, babe. But, like, someone farted. It's the Beatle Moses. We're like, you never listen to me anymore. He's like, babe, I'm sorry. There's just something so insane behind you guys. Something so insane behind you. Yeah, what's the etiquette for that?

Do you stop mid-conversation go, did you hear that? Or do you pretend like you don't? I'll let you know and figure it out. I will try it out. I will try to ignore things at first, but, man, if it keeps going, I'm like, I'm so, what? I did breeze past it too quickly. Wothers' original joke was awesome. That was amazing.

Oh, it was, that was a good job. Unbelievable. Every single person in this room opened Wothers, and I literally felt like it was like bells going off. I was like, what, what, what? And I will say the original you saying, is there an old lady in Ravreth? I'm sorry. It was, that's a top two. I think the best is still, they have TVs and gyms.

That, you saying that, that episode, with. Angela and you was that was a fever dream. It was wild. I don't know if I remember. That was the TNTL. Like a fever dream. Those parts.

Like a fever dream? Yeah. So exactly. These past four months I will say I did lose like parts of my memory. Wow. So like H was like I told you that and I was like, I don't.

I wasn't there. That makes sense. I wasn't there. Got a lot on your plate. You should try this gas lighting H. No. Yeah. You're so right.

That's so fun. As a new hobby, try gaslighting your husband. Oh, my God, I would love to. Yeah. I mean, I really do him, you know, justice when I do his, you know, impressions on this, this pod. When I go, da, da, da, da, da. And you're like, wow, that's the only Russian, you know. And I'm like, da.

Da. Da. Yeah. Yeah. Oh. Oh, my God. I missed you guys. I miss you too, man.

It's so, it's so, so nice to be back. It's also so nice to talk to people, again. And it's nice to listen You know And it's real nice to listen It's real nice to listen They say talk to your baby So I do

Oh yeah It's actually I know people think it's weird But it's actually really fun And I'm like Did you have a poop Did you take a good nap Did you have a good time

And he just loses his mind That's what I've been talking to Okay Yeah Yeah And then you'll be like But did you see that date line last night Oh my God

She's guilty She's guilty I will say Dateline is like getting pretty modern now, which is like super cool. They have a roundup. They have a roundup. A date-line round-up.

They do dances and shit. No, they're on TikTok and it's just Keith Morrison doing TikTok. And that's the tea, honey. Okay, blind ranking serial killers. Or is it? No, they have like one reporter doing all the round-ups of like the top crimes that are going on like

the top court crimes. Honey, Honey, yeah, I made the roundup. Anyway, I got a call. They're on my tail. Today we're covering the hottest crimes happening in the United States. Yeah, so... Wow. I know.

Damn. I listen to that a lot on my pod. So I'm caught up with that, with that. How has it felt coming back? Because you've already filmed a couple things back here. Yes. My first one I filmed was Assumptions. Okay.

And I literally had to, like, do like a check without. everyone I was like should I should we just delete everything I said they're like no it was totally it was totally you just like heightened with like no filter and you said whatever you wanted to yeah and I was like Mike we need to cut he's like oh yeah no no I got it I know what to cut I was like okay it's a tough one to come back to because it's so like yes it's harder to be just yourself on camera sometimes and that is and that is yes here we're gonna be like ah you know yeah yeah so I already did that I did T and TL and then we played Cairns on BitCity. Oh, what a, what a thing to hop back into.

Cairns was actually based, it was assumptions and then it was immediately Cairns. Like, hey, Amanda, you've, you've been offline for three months. Hey, let's throw a Karen wig on you and let you just go wild. Here's the deal, though. I did, as I told you, I did listen to the headlines and the daily on Spotify, which is like essentially New York Times, like, smaller version of, like, the top news for the day. I did listen to that every day. So I'm I'm with it

You're with it But as a Karen Yeah I wonder what's gonna make the cut on that Yeah I'm excited to see that oh boy It was it Talk about a fever dream it was literally Me Shane and Chance And Olivia

I don't even know if I said words I was crying laughing the whole time And literally Aaron had to be like We have to move on Yes we have to go You guys need to stop Yeah and I just I was laughing

so hard. Yeah. I'm assuming for this one, Olivia was sort of like the straight man. I'm kidding. I don't want to reveal. I'm kidding.

I don't want to reveal anything, but that episode is just nuts. Yeah. But it's fun because right now, this week, we're filming a bunch of things and you're in every day. Yep. Filming with us.

It's so much fun. Every day. I feel like a lot of the cast has been in every day this week, which has been like a rare treat. It's been wild to be like, oh my God, everyone's here. Hi.

Yeah, there's seven people in the other room. Yeah. family fused. It's so, so nice to be back. Yeah. It's almost like I'm back at camp or something. Yeah. Like I have my overnight bag full of pump. Was there anything that it surprised you coming back? Like, you're like, oh my God, like, like, Trevor, he's got a whole new style or like, I don't know. Oh, yeah, he immediately told me about his hair. His hair looks great about it. I just threw that as a random thing.

Here's what surprised me is like, oh, yeah, it takes me a, I have to do my hair and makeup and choose an outfit every day. Yeah. That's what surprised me. I totally forgot about that. I was like, oh, wow, this is a whole journey. What surprised me? Anyone who, like, grew out their hair that, like...

Oh, my God. Anyone who has a really cool hoodie on? Like a new sweater, new hair. Your hair is long, and it's your natural color. Am I right? Yeah. Wow. Thank you.

No it's not It's just all over the place Yours is like a fresh cut all the time Do you get your hair cut a lot No Your hair always looks fresh, but I know what you mean about the different thing. It's like the volume changes every day.

It goes from being like a little higher and a little quaff to like now it's a little more like straight-laced. Yeah, I can't, I can't control it. It's so wild. It's just wild. It's such a renegade, dude. It's just wild. I feel the same about my hair. I actually went to the woman who does my hair.

She's amazing. She was like, we cannot get you on camera looking like this. Like what? No, she said it. You know how hair dressers will go. I know what you mean. No. And they do it with love.

And you kind of have to go, I accept this. I accept. No. She was correct. She was correct. Hey, they're doing serious work. Hey, shout out teachers, nurses, hairdresser. Hair dressers.

My hair was literally, like, covering my eyes, like, super straight and long. Doesn't it? You look like the ring. Oh, Samara. Should I re-watch the ring? I don't think so. Didn't you say it was hard to watch certain things because you put it through the lens of your...

The whole point of the movie is about a... No, yeah. You're so right. You're okay. I'm gonna not. Don't do it. I'll stick with Breaking Bad, which is so much lighter. You know, lighter stuff, like Breaking Bad. Got funny quotes like, Uncle Hank?

Yeah. Say my name. Has everyone seen Breaking Bad and I'm just like late? I watched... I was watching it when it was airing. Did you watch Better Call Saul? I never watched it. It's kind of one of those, I kind of like where there's a show where people are, or a movie

where people are like, it's the best thing of all time. And I like not watching it because I'm like, well, I can watch that at some point. And I know there's an amazing thing that I need to watch, that I haven't watched yet. Yeah. Because it's sad when you've watched all the good stuff, and it's like, there's nothing good left. Yeah, a million shows and no shows. I do agree. I will say, like, shows when I got time to watch it, it had to be good.
