Hi, welcome to Smosh Mouth. I'm Shane. And I'm Amanda Leehan. Can't tell. And today we have a huge, awesome guest. We have CallMeChris here today. That's me. Thank you for being here. Thank you for having me. You're our first non-Smosh guest, right?

Oh, really? You're an outsider. I feel so important. Yes, you're having me. You're our first non-Smosh guest, right? Oh, really? You're an outsider. I feel so important. You are so important. Yes, you're so important. You're so important. We're so happy to have you here. No, we're stoked to have you here. Oh, wow, we changed a little bit.

We're going to change you now. We're going to go through all the beatings, Aeros. We're going to change. Yeah. The Essex vibes, yeah. The Essex vibes. Yeah. No, I do. I do.

Thank you for having me. That's just, I feel, yeah. That's really cool. I was just like hiding in here. I just made them do it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We did walk into the studio today. We turned on the lights and she was here.

Very scared. That's what she yelled. Call me Chris. Just call me Chris. Just call me Chris. Just call me Chris. Hey, okay, fine. Okay.

Before we started, I was telling you both about how today almost went really badly. Yeah, I missed, yeah. So we showed up here to the studio. I was getting my laptop out of my bag, and I had it unfolded. I was like pulling it out, but I was holding it with one hand like a pizza. Oh yum. And then I slip and I drop it onto our concrete floor face down and it lands and I pick it up and the screen is black and I,

and some people were around like Courtney was nearby and she was like, is it broken? I was like, it looks broken. Oh no. I think it's broken. And then I press a button and it's fine. But the edges of my laptop,

like the metal parts, huge skids, like it chunked some metal off the sides. You need a protector layer thing. On a laptop? Of course.

Protector layer? Yeah, a case. You get force field or something, man. Wait a second, you don't have a case on your laptop? If you're gonna travel

with your laptop, you need a case. Do you not have a case on your phone? Are you one of those people? I have a case on my phone. A very slim case. Those people are, I don't have a case in your laptop? If you're going to travel with your laptop, you need a case. Do you not have a case on your phone? Are you one of those people? I have a case on my phone. A very slim case. Those people are, I don't trust those people.

They're literally, they're just ready for death. Yeah. Or maybe they're the safest people. Well, no. I know I'm clumsy. I'm just self-aware. So I have like the thickest. Yeah, me too.

I have like, I have an otter case. Oh, yes. Oh, yeah. Yeah, like. Destructive. Top secret level security. Oh, yes. Oh, yeah. Destructive. Top secret level security. Yeah, like throw it against the wall. I drop it.

Sometimes in the morning, I'll pick up my phone. I don't know how it happened. It's like I throw it. Why? One time, I had a whole bottle of champagne. I don't know how that happened. I just went, oh. I threw it.

You're just giving it to her. Whoa. I threw it. What? It was like two weekends ago. I literally was like, what? And it went everywhere. I don't know why.

I don't hold a baby anytime soon, please. Yes. And also, it's like when you're over. This is getting really deep. It's like when you're on like a boat, like a ferry or something. Do you ever go on the railing and go, do you ever feel that impulse to throw? You mean like the old lady at the end of Titanic who throws the diamond?

And she's like this. It's the best acting ever where she goes, oh. But you know, you feel that when you're like on the edge of a railing over a boat and you're just like, I feel like I'm gonna throw it just impulsively

throw like my phone I like I hold it way tighter yeah like oh I whenever I'm walking onto or out of an elevator

whatever I'm holding my deepest fear is dropping into the cracks I do that and on grates on streets yes

no no no no not today penny wise yes yes exactly my thought oh I like that and on grates on streets. Yes. No, no, no, no, no. Not today, Pennywise. Yes. Yes, exactly. Oh, I like that. I have dropped, it was luckily just a pen, but another thing to be scared of is if you ever go to the gym and you're on the stair stepper machine.

Don't go to the gym, but okay. Like the ones where the stairs actually unfolds like a fucking Doctor Strange spell. No, I love them. Like a Stairmaster? Yeah, it's a Stairmaster, but there's the ones that throw the pedals.

It's like the climber. No, no, no, but the one where the actual steps fold out, but I accidentally dropped a pen and it fell like into the machine and I was like, oh, that's a new fear.

Why did you have a pen with you? Because I have my workout, I have my workout journal. He was. I write down, I write down my, my lifting routine. I write down like the reps

and the weight. It's something I started doing. It's been nice. And also I write down like lifting routine. I write down the reps and the weight. It's something I started doing. It's been nice. And also I write down maybe my dreams. And maybe what I want to do with my fucking life. I think that's fucking awesome. I bring my vision board to the gym. It's just a picture of you.

And you just put it in front of your stairmaster and you're just like, yes. Yes. It's going to be me. And it's just pictures of wine. And learn Spanishanish i'm earning it tonight that's like when you're that's like when you're i love that you'll lingo out like hola como estas that's like when you're on peloton and they they read off the instructors

read off people's names and it's like riding for donuts five or it's like wine mama or it's like will do for Cheetos and I'm like I would never step on that that sounds terrible that's like their vision

Peloton is you know what just occurred to me Peloton is Twitch for stay at home moms oh my gosh it is

that's amazing and I guess I'm a stay at home mom because I love my Peloton I really do I love that. Hey, whatever works for you.

Yeah. I just go walk outside. I just can't be looking at a wall or a screen. I know. It's hard. That's all I do. It's really hard. Just walk in the forest in Canada.

Fight bears. I'm jealous of that. We live in the desert. Not much is going on here except for buildings. Yeah, there's a lot of buildings. There's some nature-y parts here. There actually are bears in LA. There are, right?

There are. There are black bears, small black bears that are up towards the Angelus Forest. Yeah, they're big dogs. Don't pet them, though. Don't recommend. Have you ever seen grizzly bears?

Mm-hmm. Oh, my God. Terrifying. Yeah, that's scary. If you go a little bit more north from where I am, huge. Wow. And even more north, then you have polar bears, then you're just done. True, true. Yeah, they'll scary. If you go a little bit more north from where I am, huge. Wow. And even more north, then you have polar bears, then you're just done.

True, true. Yeah, they'll just eat you just for fun. I bet they're even scarier than that moose. Have you seen a moose? I have. I've seen moose. Moose? It's as tall as this ceiling.

They're as big as SUVs. Huge. They are huge, and it's terrifying. You're just up in the woods, and then you just decide, I'm going to become huge on TikTok. And then that's what you're doing. You're hanging out with bears. Exactly, exactly. No, but I actually do have to walk around with a bear mace. There's a lot of bears where I am.

Because I literally live in the forest. Like I'm on a couple acres. You made a lean-to out of wood. Exactly. And you're playing Minecraft in real life. Yeah, exactly. That's actually, that is my dream. It's pretty, I have chickens. I'm extremely, you have chickens? I'm actually so jealous. You're playing Minecraft in real life. Yeah, exactly. Actually, that is my dream.

I have chickens. You have chickens? I'm actually so jealous. Do you get overwhelmed then being, having to post all the time when you're living in the forest or do you have to go outside and take breaks? Yeah, it's much, when I'm home,

I feel like it's easier to kind of take a breather and go into nature because that's like my thing is like, that's how I can take a break and like turn off my brain a little bit. But yeah,

I'm on the road like a lot. I feel like you're always somewhere else. Yeah, yeah, which is fun and I'm really lucky to be able to do that

but it's nice to just like be home for a little bit. It also has to be crazy. So when I found out you were going to be on this episode, I was stoked. And I was kind of doing some research, but I was also just thinking about when we first had you on, to be completely honest, I hadn't heard of you. Yeah, fair enough. Which is insane. There's so many creators.

Because when I looked you up, and I'm like, you have 50 million followers on TikTok and 10 million followers on YouTube. That's insane. But the amount of times that happens nowadays, I don't mean it as an insult when I'm like, oh, I haven't heard of you. No. Because the amount of times I discover someone new and they have so many followers is insane. That's just how big the internet is nowadays. And the internet also puts us into different corners. Yeah.

Yeah. the internet is nowadays. Totally. And the internet also puts us into different corners. Yeah, yeah. And we're going to talk about that in a little bit of the different corners of the internet that we're on. But I'm so curious because you really, you weren't like an overnight success, I wouldn't say, but you did gain a huge following in a short amount of time. Yeah. Because you started on the internet in 2020?

Yes. Or were you doing it on the internet in 2020? Yes. Or were you doing it sooner? No, no, no. It was 2020, like April 2020 when like everything kind of shut down, in Canada at least. And like I was doing hair and then I had a salon and I had to shut it down. And then I was just bored because I worked like six, seven days a week doing hair. So like not doing something was like I was going to like implode. So my brother told me to

download tiktok just to consume something and i'm not a huge consumer of uh like internet stuff so i was just like i'm gonna try to make stuff because i used to i used to like make funny like vines and all that like yeah you know yeah never famous or anything but i was just like i'll try it and then it was probably I'd say like a month or two months when it started to gain traction. Wow. And then it went from like a thousand followers a day to 10,000 to like 100,000 every single day

for like over a year. And I was like, what were those first videos like? What were they? At first I was just kind of getting the hang of TikTok and in 2020 it was like, you'd have a sound and you'd lip sync and you'd put a caption and you'd kind of make it your own and there was a lot of that at first. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then like a couple months

into it I was like, I kind of want to try like nobody even knew the sound of my voice because I was just doing all these lip syncs so I was like, yeah, I kind of want to just write like my own stuff, make my own characters so I started with one character which was like the little kid, or actually no, it was my Boston mom character because being like a hairstylist I have like so many different mom character. Because being a hair stylist, I have so many different moms

come through, and it's just so, I have so many different characters just based on clients. Amanda knows a thing or two about Boston. Yeah, I'm from Boston. Yes. And I love playing Boston moms. Right? They're absolutely my favorite.

And she just doesn't give a shit. I think I have just become that person, where they just have no filter. Exactly. Oh, and yeah, and they also love death yeah they love talking about death

totally and she's like a wine mom too yes oh Kendall Jackson Chardonnay oh yes they love talking about that was southern accent

exactly I was like okay Tom Brady I've been doing the accent wrong the whole time I feel like Boston

we're talking about Boston Georgia Kendall Jackson Chardonnay oh it's Chardonnay, Georgia. Kendall Jackson, Chardonnay. Oh, Chardonnay. Chardonnay. Kendall Jackson, Chardonnay. You just got to chant that. You got to chada-da-da-da.

Yeah. Da-da-da-da. That's exactly what it is. Yeah, exactly. Wow. I never knew that about you. That's amazing. Yeah.

So then it just spiraled. Now I have like, I don't know, like 40 characters I do. But then I did TikTok and then I moved to YouTube because I was like, if TikTok goes down, I didn't even realize it was a career to begin with, but I was like, I'm gonna try to expand this. I love that. Just in case. Yep.

Because nobody else really was. Like people I was coming up with TikTok, I was like, I'm gonna go over here. That's smart. And see what this is about. And best decision I ever made. That's so smart. That's really awesome. Yeah.

Wait, do you do hair anymore? I do my family's hair. They will refuse to go to anybody else. It's kinda nice. Yeah, so. Let's do a Smosh episode where I do all your hair. I was doing some research, and I did find out that you were a hair stylist before,

and I, so I wanted to be, just wanted to ask honestly, like, what, do you think this is good? Genuinely, I saw you today and i was like okay your hair looks good it looks like i like this messy like like not in a good way chaos like it's like i just i woke up like this in the best way it does look good today fiance way a lot of work into it looks didn't wake up like this and put it a lot i know i know you did and i could look at it and that's how i would like style guys hair like just to make it messy and like i'm into that unkempt a little bit also love the mustache thank you working it's it's it's indie it's very your hair is fabulous as well i love

your bangs okay so nobody can pull those off and really pull them off okay and they show your eyebrows your beautiful eyebrows because okay they were up to here really short. They were like rockabella, rockabelly baby bangs. And I'm growing them out. And I was telling Shane that my hair is in an awkward phase. So I like, what should I do? Should I like split them and have them keep growing? Like, no. It's a look.

And that's the dude. It's a look, yeah. It's a look. No, I know. You think it's in an awkward phase, but I think it looks great right now. Really? But I'm like the same. Mine's in a weird phase because mine was edging on what yours looks like a couple months ago.

Which I love. Yeah, I love the short hair. I'm like, should I cut it again? Should I leave it? So I'm growing it a little bit. Me too. It's always in that, should I? And then one day you're just going to.

That's exactly what I did. It was down here and then I just you're just going to. I'm just going to. That's exactly what I did. It was down here and then I just fucking boom and then boom. I know. I just slap right on my hair. It's fine. I love it. We all look fabulous today.

Yeah. Yeah. Okay. We all look good. I'm into it. I sometimes debate on, it would take, in the pandemic or in the lockdown phase, I thought about getting a mullet. I wanted to do that. But then I was on Goldberg's and they cut it and I was bummed. And so I couldn't, I didn't have the option, but I thought about getting a mullet I wanted to do that but then I was on Goldberg's

and they cut it and I was bummed so I couldn't I didn't have the option but I thought about it you could pull it off but nowadays I don't know I think my forehead's too big

for a mullet no if you had what you have on the top of your head right now and just a little bit of wisp at the bottom it would be I'd like

and I put a little ponytail or just one braid just one like my cousin in Jersey who had a rat tail for basically his whole life. Luke Skywalker, just like. Oh, yeah. Just that. That's solid.

That's solid. I think so. That's the Anakin. Yeah, that's the Anakin. Or just do tips. Okay. Frosted tips. Frosted tips.

Like early 2000s. Yeah. Got it. I also sometimes think about just shaving it all off. Yeah. Oh, actually, I think that would look really good. Because I think I'm going to inevitably be bald one day. You'd look like an MMA fighter if you did.

Not in a bad way. Maybe the mustache. The mustache. Just leave the mustache? Because if I have the mustache, then it's like, oh, but he's not an MMA fighter. Shaving is... H, literally, my husband shaved all of this and now he just has like a Viking strip and it's down to here.

Whoa. And he just braids. Yeah but he's six foot five. I think that looks cool. I think the little guy with the. No what if he did like a Peaky Blinders cut? Ooh. You know what I'm talking about?

No. Actually yes. Great. Yeah yeah yeah. He's fully shaved on the side. Yeah yeah. I don't know if that's. Yeah I like that look. I do. I do. Okay. I love that shot. Okay. yes. Great. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Fully shaved on the side. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know if that's, yeah, I like that look.

I do. I do. Okay. I love that. Okay. Okay. Noted. Do you ever miss having a hair salon?

Yeah, sometimes. It's like very therapeutic doing hair. I was like a blonde specialist mostly. I mean, I did everything, but. Was it your salon? When I say my salon, it's like a little ratchet salon in my parents' basement suite. That's still cool. But it's a salon.

But you were doing your... I was proud of it. Yeah, yeah. I was like determined to always work for myself. So I did, I actually did lash extensions as well on top of hair.

That's amazing. Yeah, yeah. It was cool. Yeah, I did like a couple years in university and I was like, I don't know what I want to do. And I was like,

I'm going to leave. I went to Asia for two months and my parents were really mad. Wow. And then I came back and I was like, I'm going to leave. I went to Asia for two months, and my parents were really mad. And then I came back, and I was like, I'm going to be a hairdresser. And then they were even more mad. And then I started to do really well with it, and then they're like, fine. And then you're like, I'm going to do TikTok. And they're like, what's TikTok?

And they're like, no, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. No, until I started to get, or until I was like, hey, I can go buy my own house. They're like, oh, okay, then that's fine. Okay, fine. It's when you're doing well in your thing. It's like when I moved here, my mom was like, you're a dog walker, so you're picking up shit. You went to LA to pick up dog shit. And it's then when you're actually doing well and you're like, actually, I have a career in this.

They're like, oh, that's good. I've always been proud of you. Yeah, exactly. They're like, I never said that. I never said that and good for you. It took a minute, I think,

for a lot of my family to understand this because I came out here to be like TV film actor. And so it hit a point after six or seven years of being out here auditioning, working on TV and stuff,

then being like, yeah, so I'm working on this YouTube channel. Right. They thought it was a step down. So that's a website? Yeah. Yeah. A website?

Whose website? You're putting up videos on someone's website? What the hell? Don't do that. Don't trust the internet. Exactly. Yeah, when you say you make videos on the internet to older people, they're like, hmm, what kind of videos?

It's like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. So I think it's really funny, you talk about, you're very big online. I mean, now that I know you, now I've seen your stuff,

and I, but, Still don't understand. No, I, so it's a website? No idea. But, I think it's funny that you mentioned

that you're not, or at least you weren't very online. No, no, like, Are you't very online. No, no. Are you not very online? Well, let's say right before this, or before all this happened, I was maybe once a year posting on Instagram, didn't look at Facebook. That was me.

I didn't care. I was one of those people that was like, it's so dumb. And then all this happened. But it's kind of fun because it doesn't really revolve around me just, you know, like. Because for me, I was like, oh, you just are self-absorbed if But it's kind of fun because it doesn't really revolve around me just, you know, like, because for me, I was like, oh, you just are self-absorbed if you do this kind of stuff. That's not the case at all.

I mean, sure, maybe for some people, but, like, I get to, like, make stuff that makes me happy. You're just having fun. Yeah, yeah. So, I mean. There's a purpose. Yeah, and I like to make stuff and put it out there, but I am not.

On it, scrolling. I'm not on it, scrolling, it scrolling no like there was a period of time where it was we all went through that I mean maybe some people are still in that TikTok or shorts or reels phase where they just go on for hours yeah but it like I mean and I've always struggled with mental health but it just doesn't help that at all oh so I want to talk about our social media experiences and what we what parts of the internet we're on and what we're avoiding. And I first off just want to say I agree. I was very similar to you in that before I got on Smosh, I never posted on anything.

Disney made me make a Twitter account back in the day, which is still my Twitter account that I have. But if you scroll back pre-2015 when I joined Smosh, my only tweets were like, was that an earthquake? Hashtag earthquake for years. That was my earthquake alert. And then Instagram I never used. It was privated. I did not use that and I had nothing else. And so I joined Smosh.

I made a Vine account. Started trying to make Vines. Yep. But I struggled with Vine. TikTok's a lot easier for me. Yeah. Vine is tough. Six seconds was so like

I loved limiting. Six seconds. See I Did you make Vines? I made Vines. I've never seen one of your Vines. Well let's find the internet.

Pull them up. I used to make so I made Vines with my B never seen one of your vines. Well, let's find the internet. Pull them up. I used to make, so I made vines with my BFF, Steph Barkley. Oh, yeah. Yeah, she was big on vine. I met her through Hannah, Hannah Pilkus. Yeah, also big on vine. I was doing a bunch of Instagram videos. We connected.

Unlike you guys, I was actually like doing a bunch of Instagram videos, getting a bunch of characters out there for fun. You were too ahead of your time. I loved it. Yeah, that wasn't a thing. Instagram was not the hub yet. No, it wasn't at all.

And TikTok wasn't even a thing at all. It was musically. Yeah. Or not even. Yeah, I don't even know. And then I met Steph and then we did Vines together. And that's what kind of like

gained his base following and then I just started meeting people through her oh cool wow but I wonder if you didn't make me internet that's so funny that you were running in the same circles as Olivia and Courtney oh yeah but but not though because I had never met them but I know you never met them but that was like the same circles no I know it's so I had no idea. I didn't think that you were at all. But you, I didn't think that you knew anything. I woke up in bed and was like, good morning, Los Angeles. Good morning, Los Angeles.

I have a gateway to the house of computer. I thought you were writing funnies in the papers. I was writing comic strips. I had my first article in the newspaper in 1945, Shane. Okay. No, I was cool, Shane. I know you're cool. I never said you're not cool.

I'm just kidding. No, but I'll be honest. So I started, but it's always been a job for me. Social media, when I post and the reason my posts are always not serious is because in a way they are serious I'm taking it seriously in just I view it as a job and it's why I sometimes I've been so bad about it lately this year I've been really bad um TikTok I I posted a bunch in 2021

2020 I started posting yeah and I was like I'm gonna treat this like it's nothing and it's stupid and whatever. 2021, I started like every week I'd post like one or two. And I was just like, whatever, I don't fucking care. I was not doing any of the trends. I was just doing shit. But I had several blow up and I gained a lot of followers. And the problem is I gained like,

I then got over a million followers and then it became too serious right and then I was like I'm no longer having fun because now it's now there's stakes involved yes

and I've been so bad I need to get back into it and I've been saying that this year where you know why aren't you posting see for me I really had to take breaks

and when I go here's the biggest thing for me when I go on a trip I am not on Instagram at all. I do not go on, I do not go on a TikTok. But I will say for me, I feel very similar, is like when I post, I go on, I post, I share, I look at a couple things,

and I have a time limit on my Instagram. I literally have a time limit. Yeah, I get that. I do the same thing with YouTube videos. I have like, if I post a YouTube video, I will look at the comments for probably the first 30 minutes and answer as much as I can. And then I'll leave it.

And then at night, I'll set aside another hour to just go through and do that. And then even sometimes the next day. Because I think it's important. But you can't answer all of them. It's your job. That's part of the job. The community, the people are the ones consuming it. I need to see what they're saying. I do read all of them. It's your job. That's part of the job. The community, the people are like,

they're the ones consuming it. Like I need to see what they're saying. I do read all the comments. Yeah. I don't know if that's a good thing to tell you guys. Yeah. But I'm reading the comments right now. Shane.

Shane. Listen to me, Shane. Okay. But I feel like as, I feel like since we are, this is like our job and whatever, I do find myself looking at things you probably wouldn't expect me to look at on my For You page, on my main page. Well, the For You page, you don't get to choose.

Yeah. Not really. Not really. But I think it says a lot about people, and I am so curious, because you are so big on TikTok, what type of content you consume on TikTok and how often are you scrolling through the For You page? Not that often anymore or like I'll give it a chance. But usually since I feel like since I'm not on it all the time, my For You page doesn't really know me. And then it just kind of gives me the generic stuff. Or it gives you what you were into a month ago when you were scrolling a bunch.

You're like, I'm a different person. Or it just makes me mad. Like, it'll just, like, a tarot card reading will come up, and she'll be like, oh, like, the Ten of Pentacles. Like, you're lonely. But he's waiting for you. He's like, just wait, like, five more. Oh, the jester.

You're a fucking idiot. Yeah, exactly. And then, of course, I watch it all because I'm curious. Yeah, that's how they get you. And then the algorithm's like, she loves it. But other than that, it's usually the ones that make me happy are like dogs. Anything with dogs. Yes.

Anything like that. Or I love like true crime, so there'll be a lot of like, this is like the most fucked up story you've ever heard in your life. And this is how this person died. And you also love paranormal stuff. Love paranormal stuff too. So do I. Yep. Mine is like a you also love paranormal stuff. Love paranormal stuff too. So do I.

Yep. Mine is like a lot of like ghost stuff. Yep. Paranormal. Mine's a lot of wild ocean animals caught in nets that are saved. Oh yeah. I've seen that. So many.

Love that. And so many kayak paddle boarding shark videos. Or like whales and stuff. Or whales. Everywhere. And whale talk. There's so much whale stuff. Yeah, I've been on whale talk. Whale talk Or whales everywhere. Whale talk. There's so much whale stuff. Yeah, I've been on whale talk.

Whale talk is a thing. I don't know what whale talk is. So whenever you're served a certain genre, and it gets very specific, that's the part of TikTok you're on. So you might end up with a bunch of whales, and that means you're on whale talk. Or, for instance,

last night I came across a sumo wrestler video, and the top comment was, oh, I'm on sumo talk. Hell yeah, I want to stay here. So you need to engage, you need to watch, if you come across it, you need to watch it, you need to comment, you need to engage with it, and then you'll stay there. I've been in and out of a lot of

weird ones, but I want to, okay, so more specifically, Chris, we can start with you yeah I the question I'll frame is this but you can also give us the genres of TikTok you're on who is the main character of your for you page right now who is the account or or what is the thing that is showing up the most because I have a main character and I'm trying to actively... Get rid of it? Not... I don't hate the guy. I'm just like...

Can't you say no? I could... Well, don't... I'll get to it in a second. Okay. It's like... No, actually, there's this one guy that I'm trying to escape right now. I don't actually know his name.

But you know how there's always one song that's trending? Yes. And some people just hop on that trend, and that's the only song they use the whole time? Yes. And it's like... I don't know if it's a Russian song or what. Is it? No, it's like. No.

It's like. You know which one? No, maybe it is. The Girl. Just don't sing it too well, or we'll get copyrighted. Oh, no. It's, no, no, never mind. It's like, I want Prada, Balenciaga.

Have you heard that song? Yes. Get me Prada. Not what I'm thinking of, but I'm pretty sure. And this guy, he just does like a stupid face with one filter and then another face with another filter and I cannot escape him. No.

But then I watch it because it's kind of satisfying to watch, but I don't like it. That's a whole other phenomenon on TikTok of people who find a single thing that they do and they get so much footage from that and they just do it over and over and over again. Yes, you're gonna get followers. But it's gonna die out.

It never lasts for more than a month. Or even a month, yeah. You're right, it's a week. It really is a week. You realistically have a week. How long is this person? It's probably been like a solid, almost two weeks I'd say.

And I'm just like, I can't. He's gonna disappear. It's so terrible, but I'm like, I can't wait to see you disappear. You're like, I can't wait to see you disappear. It makes me think of, did you get served, because this was a big case of it. The older guy, he would always be wearing like a button up like checkered shirt.

Oh, eating the food? And he would pour a bunch of food, and then he'd do the like. Yes, and then it would be steaming. And then he'd just go and burn his tongue. Burn his mouth. And then he blew up. I saw him recently.

His videos are getting like 10,000 views. Yeah, right? That's what inevitably happens. That's what happens. That's why you got to diversify, people. It's the life cycle of a sun and a TikTok star actually the same. I love that. You could look at it.

Of the supernova. And then it collapses down to a red dwarf. It's all the same. Wow. Yep. Boom. Okay. It's all the same. Wow. Yep. Boom. Okay, so you have this guy. Yeah.

This guy who's going to disappear soon. I think so. Okay. He's probably gone. I probably could go on my... Well, actually not. What happens if he finds out that you are actively... I'm sorry, but just try something else, okay?

Do a different thing. Just do something else for your own sake. It's so wild that we get served these. It's so weird. It does suck when it's also a funny person, but they have a trend that they get known for. Do you remember the guy who he would stuff his, he would wear the orange suit,

and he would stuff his pants to make him look like he had a huge butt? Wait, yes, yes, yes, yes. And it was the weekend, so. Oh my gosh, yes. Yeah, Josh Josh I think yes super funny he's a really funny guy

but unless he does that thing nobody cares people don't watch it you just unlocked a memory people watch it but not as much dude you just

unlocked a memory right I forgot about that I always watch them all I was like this is awesome it made me laugh every time and occasionally he'll come back

and be like alright I'll do the hit. Yeah, exactly. And everyone's like, yeah! Okay, wait. Do you remember the guy who did the Dora the Explorer thing? Who had the backpack? Like, my backpack.

I think that was your For You page. Oh, I don't know. I think that's just for you. It was the strangest. My For You page is crazy, but it was a guy, and he was wearing a wig, he wore a door door the explorer backpack and he had like really bad like green screen no i know who you're talking about backpack and he was like yes oh okay exactly i do i do i do and i was like why is this man chasing me yes

no exactly and even like coming up on tiktok i would see i came up with a lot of people because a lot of people started exactly when I started. Yeah. And people had that one thing that they did. And I was kind of trying a bunch of stuff, but I started to be like, do sketch comedy. But it was, I had certain characters and I was like, ooh, I don't want to get put in this box. Because people are like, I love that character. Like I had the one with like the tiny hand or whatever. And people are like, bring her back. And I was like, no, no, no, I'm gonna give you this one today. I told my audience, I was like, no, no, no, you get this and you're gonna like this.

So I shoved new content at the people that, and then they accepted it, so anytime I do something crazy and new, it's okay. So any creators out there, just do it. It's not gonna do good probably the first time, second time, third time. But they'll get used to it. And then you're not pigeonholed.

You're not trapped in that one character. Then you're sick of doing it. And I don't resent any of my characters. Because a lot of people blew up initially similar to you, but then they fade away. I don't feel like many TikTokers successfully go over to YouTube like you have.

And I'm not trying to toot my own horn, but I tell all my friends that are on TikTok and short form, I'm like, go to YouTube. And I was so scared too for some reason. I feel like all of us that started, they're like, I'm not gonna be good enough. I don't have the right camera. It's because it's longer.

But I'm like, I'm on my phone for the first, and you just gotta do it. But yeah, it's, I don't know why, people just like that hit. Like those, they know they'll get the views on TikTok. Whereas like, I was like, not struggling, but like for months on YouTube, I wasn't getting like anything.

It's harder to get views on YouTube than TikTok. Way harder, but way more rewarding in like every way, shape and form. I think because you have people, you have fans who are there for the long haul. They've stuck with you. They're there for your progress

and they're not just there for like the quick laugh. Yeah, my following is, they're amazing. They're so positive. Like, I'm so lucky.

I feel like your brand is very positive. Yeah, I try to keep it that way for sure. I try to make it revolve around that, but I'm like, I've been very lucky with it. And try to keep it that way for sure. I try to make it revolve around that. But I'm like, I've been very lucky with it.

And they're always like, do something else. Do something new. What do you want to do? And I'm like, all right. It's just like, that's awesome. Meanwhile, our fan base. Fuck you. Love it.

Keep it positive. Keep it right. You're going to read all the comments. The comments are going to be so bad. They'll probably like it. like no i love our following um our our following and me have a weird yeah yeah back and forth yeah yeah we may we make fun of each other i love that they mostly make fun of me that's good yeah that's good there's gonna be a lot of another banger another banger by shane top for my carly in these comments we have inside jokes yeah yeah yeah no those are always the best though your for you page doesn't sound that bad.

No, it's not that bad. It sounds pretty good. Sometimes I'll get the ones that have zero likes. Oh, I scroll past those. Yeah. Sometimes. I'm scared because I don't want to see a dead body. Sometimes I'll give it a chance.

A dead body? You don't know if it hasn't been viewed by anyone? It's true. You don't know what it's going to be? Sometimes the algorithm hasn't caught it yet. Ooh, that's scary. That's why I just like, nope. Or like you come across those weird ass lives. Oh, the lives are always insane.

I don't actually like watching lives at all. I never watch lives. But like sometimes you get caught, especially the NPC ones. You go on. Courtney can do such a perfect impression. I saw her TikTok. I actually just did a video where I reacted to some

of your guys' TikToks. And I did the one where she was to some of your guys' TikToks. I did the one where she was like, oh, hi! And she's doing the NPC. And I was like, this is awful in the best way. It's so bad. It's so good. Popcorn's so good. Yes.

I don't understand it. I don't understand it. Those people make so much money, too, apparently. Oh, yeah. What's the deal with that? With the people who are like just doing the... The NPC stuff. Yeah, because when a rose pops up on screen on TikTok, then they're like, oh, a rose.

Here's the thing. I understand the performers. I understand why you do it because you're making money. I don't... I'm not even saying anything mean about these people. No, no, no. I'm just saying I don't understand what people get from paying money to do this. That's where I'm at as well.

I think I'm like, why are you doing it? I just would want to talk to someone who does it. Yeah, I agree. I think it's a controlling thing. It's a controlling thing. But I think it would be better if you're like, hey, if you send me a rose or whatever, then I'll, I don't know, I'll take a shot. Maybe not a shot. But you know, it'll make them do something

rather than just do the. I don't really understand it. It's one of those videos that I watch where I feel like my soul is on a different planet. Like it's leaving me slowly going like. I feel like I'm dying. No, you know when you watch something so weird, you're like, remember Salad Fingers back in the day?

Oh, yeah. That was great. When I watched Salad Fingers and my soul went, Salad Fingers. Yeah, that was pure nightmare fuel. Also, that's what I feel like I watched first on YouTube that we watched. Same.

So that ignited that weird. Yeah, it was like it came back. Yeah, exactly. That's true. But when I watch ignited that weird. Yeah, it was like it came back. Yeah, exactly. That's true. But when I watch that, I truly don't understand it because it's not something I'm connected to at all. No, at all. Yeah, exactly. Amanda, who's the main character of your For You page?

Well, mine's very disjointed. I feel like it's very weird. It's either like whale talk, I guess, is now what I realize it's called. Whales. Maybe a whale. It's definitely like whale talk, I guess, is now what I realize it's called. Whales. Maybe a whale. It's definitely animal saving stuff. A lot of rescue dogs. Me too.

A lot of rescue dogs on like, we found this dog on the side of the road. And then it takes you through the journey. But then there's one that actually I don't want to get rid of, but it also makes my life really hard. It's just the back of a woman's hair and she's wearing this beautiful sundress and it's her in her kitchen and it's like French music. And it's like how she changed her kitchen or what she's baking today. And it's like, let her be the one.

Aesthetic Tik Tokers. I like baking. And I'm like, honestly, bless those people because I do like come across those. Actually, you know, one of my,

one of my really good friends Ben he makes he lives in BC and BC's beautiful so beautiful he always starts his videos like do you want to go

on an adventure with me and he's like too bad you're coming and then he takes you through this beautifully aesthetic hike with views and it's like

see I love I love that have you ever gotten served there's a guy who lives out in the middle of the woods he has a mustache in Canada it must be Canada it is in Canada There's a guy who lives out in the middle of the woods. He has a mustache. In Canada? It must be Canada.

It is in Canada. It's this guy. Hey there, buddy. Every single one starts with, He's so sweet. Well, hello, buddy. Hello, buddy. Today we're going to be making some soup.

Yeah. So first what I do is I get out my big pan. I love my lovely big pan. Yeah. And you're just kind of like, at first I'm always like, all right, I don't know if I'm, all right, I'll listen. Yeah.'m, all right, I'll listen.

Oh, it's so good. Yeah. No, I think he's in Alberta. I've talked to him a couple times. That guy is so, so sweet. But those... Victoria. When I went to Victoria,

OBC, yeah. Oh my God. Biking through, Victoria was unbelievable. That's why I can't leave, man. Yeah. Oh, yeah, I wouldn't leave. It's stunning. Don't come down here. And that's why I can't leave, man. Oh, yeah, I wouldn't leave. It's stunning.

Don't come down here. And that's why. Don't come down here. That's why when I watch, and he was like, what are we going to do there? You're going to get so bored, Amanda. And you school twice, and you forget about it. And I watch a kid falling, and I'm like, yeah! That's my favorite thing. I watch people falling all the time.

Yeah, as long as they're not getting injured. Oh, so that's also on your For You page. Yeah, that's the thing. It's very disjointed. So it's just like, hello, and here's how I redecorate my. And you just cut it over to a kid getting kicked in the balls. No, I don't like that. I don't like skating accidents.

I like someone trying to take a picture and then they're like, and then she's immersed. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or like Scooby-Doo, like scramble. Or like a kid falling in a snowsuit. Yeah, exactly.

Or they're just like, or the parents that are just trying to take a picture and then they fall really hard in the waves. That shit. Yeah. It's just like AFV. Like classic.

Yeah, America's Funniest Home. I saw one where a guy – I would get served with this guy. He has like clearly – maybe it's a fart machine. Maybe he's just genuinely able to fart like this. Oh, love that. But he'd be out in public, and he'd have a mic near him. I love him. And he'd be walking around.

Oh, yeah. And he just rips massive farts. Yes. But there's one where he rips a massive fart, and this old have a mic near and he'd be walking around and he just rips massive farts. Yes. But there's one where he rips a massive fart and this old guy starts laughing so hard. He falls over. Wait, I watch his videos all the time. And he lifts up his leg and then the girls will go like this. The girls will be behind. They're like, yeah. Oh my God. And he's so big and he's like, ugh, stretches. Like, I couldn't do that. No, it's, whenever I come across it, it's my favorite video. I love him.

I've watched so many of his videos. Love that shit. So good. Your For You pages still overall sound way better than mine. Yeah, so what's yours? What's your main character? So I have tried to stay just on silly, fun TikTok, but I have been all over the place. Oh yeah. I have ended up stay just on silly, fun TikTok, but I have been all over the place.

Oh, yeah. I have ended up, over the years, I have ended up on prison TikTok several times. What? Oh, yeah, people making- Prison TikToks. In prison. Really cool.

Wait, what's prison TikTok? Prison TikTok is where prisoners in prison get phones. I'm guessing that the guards don't know they have. Probably not. And they make videos in their cells and just whatever. And it's very entertaining. What?

Yeah, I've been there. You're just kind of like, oh my God, this is such a, this is a look, this is a look into something we technically aren't. I think TikTok is gonna change now.

Yeah. I've also ended up on drug cartel TikTok. Whoa. Where they're digging tunnels or they're, they're dragging boats with a lot of cash and stuff. I've also ended up on drug cartel TikTok. Whoa. Where they're digging tunnels or they're dragging boats with a lot of cash and stuff. I've ended up, and the comments are always the best part of that. People are like, holy shit, what did I do to end up on drug cartel TikTok?

Right? So that stuff. Why is there a drug cartel TikTok? You need a background check on shit. There's a TikTok for everything. Yeah, there really is. There really is, and you will end up there. But lately,

this year, and why I think I haven't been as into TikTok is because my page is not as funny. I've ended up really hardcore on weightlifting TikTok. Oh, okay, cool. And it started, and it makes sense because I would come across an instructional one where it'd be like,

here's why your shoulder's feeling right. I'd be like, oh, hell yeah. And I'd watch that. But now I start getting into the memes and into the like culture of weightlifting TikTok. It's like, shut the fuck up. You want to lose some weight? Or just like weird bros doing weightlifting memes

or whatever. And so there's a couple things that I'm, the main character of my For You page I don't even know if he has a TikTok and I think that's why he's showing up a ton is this guy named Sam Sulek

and he is amongst this corner of the internet this guy is a superstar oh people know who he is he's becoming my For You page

isn't his content my For You page is other people clipping his content, putting it up, or people talking about him. Right. What? That every couple TikToks is someone being like,

like a podcast where they're talking about him. Right. Or a clip from one of his videos. I think, I know he has a YouTube page where he just posts daily like him working out. But what's funny about this guy, I wish that we had like a cap in here. He wears a baseball cap really tight over his

like face where you barely see his eyes. He has like long curly hair and he is gigantic. I think he's only like 21 though. Super young. Is it not fake hair? Is it attached to the hat? It's not fake hair. It's real hair, but he is absolutely gigantic. He's definitely on steroids. Like it's just

abnormally huge. But he's always just talking about working out, and he's not, it doesn't, as far as I know, there's been nothing toxic or, like, messed up, because he's only talking about working out. He's always completely out of breath. And it's just, a clip, I'll scroll, I'll scroll. I'll go back to my channel.

You're actually so close. I will scroll and it'll be a clip and he's he's at like a planet fitness on a thing on like a

chest fly machine and he's like you know here's the thing you'll do like you'll do chest fly you'll do it you'll do it like 10 times

I'll do 10 reps I'll just blast them out but you know it's really all you need to do is do one and if you just do it and you do it right

that's all you need to do it's just one what you just do it and you do it right that's all you need to do it's just one what and that's these are his videos have you seen him work out because i think he just gets to the gym and sets up i've seen him hey yeah he's actually i've seen him work out and he's convinced people you work out i've seen him work out he's insanely strong like there's one where he's just like he's like okay i'm about to do incline press i've got one plate on each side one plate is like a lot of weight for incline press. And he's just like, you know, this is like 5% because I'm trying to warm up

with as little effort as possible. And then he goes, he's just like doing this like it's nothing. And I'm like, that is a lot for me. And he's insanely strong. And then it got revealed that he was a diver in high school. And so there's suddenly a clip of him at a public pool doing a perfect like triple flip into the pool.

He's just this gorilla. Literally like that. What? Just a little boop. No. And what's – no. The funniest thing about this guy – and I don't – I haven't really done research on him. It's just what I've been getting.

Is he's at a different gym in every single clip I see. What? He's never at the same gym. Wow. This guy's got lore. I don't know. He's never at the same gym. Wow. This guy's got lore. I don't know. I know, man. I am so curious.

You're going to be one of the TikToks of you talking about him now. I'm going to end up on my own For You page talking about this guy. This is why there's so many TikToks about people talking about him. He's figured it out. I hope to God there's nothing bad about him. He seems to be completely innocent and chill and just a guy who loves to work out. But I get a lot of it. And a lot of weightlifting TikTok is very wholesome.

Totally. A lot of guys are very, it's very body positive. It's very supportive. I love hip stretching. I love different hip openers and stuff. A lot of mobility work ends up on my preview page. There's also the guy, I forget hip stretching. I love different hip openers and stuff. A lot of mobility work ends up on my For You page. There's also the guy, I forget his name, but there's also that guy who stitches anyone

who's filming themselves at the gym and is rude to anyone at the gym. Yes, I know that guy. That guy, it cuts to him and he's wearing a cap that's barely on his head. He's like, the gym is a place for positivity and for us to be there for each other and if you're gonna be upset that someone

that if someone's walking past your video I'm sorry this is a shared space and that's the type of wholesomeness he asked if I wanted to work out with him and I was like I'll have coffee but I'm not I look like I'm wearing a workout outfit right now I don't know what you're talking about

We walked into our green room and you were lifting dumbbells I mean yeah like on my own time Yeah but not on the video She's in the forest just lifting I lift logs man I literally I do chop wood Do you get lumberjack guy? I love lumberjack guy

Thorin Get off my For You page, okay? Get off it. I've talked to him a couple times before, but he's got it down too. Some people can't do the same thing all the time. He can. You can do the same thing all the time. Well, he does different wood.

He does do different wood. I saw him cutting a eucalyptus tree. Yes. It's educational. Yes, you learn about different kinds of wood, and sometimes he takes his shirt off. Yeah, those are my favorite. Those are good. It's educational. Yes, you learn about different kinds of wood. Sometimes he takes his shirt off. Yeah, those are my favorite. Those are good. It's very funny. I've heard people talk about him at the office.

They're like, oh my God, I love Lumberjack guy. And then I'm like, okay, okay. And then I scroll and I'll come across him and I'll be like. I love Lumberjack. I understand. You can't not watch it. I understand. Sometimes after he cuts the wood, he has the audacity to say good girl.

What is that, sir? Stop that. Stop that. I think I don't finish the video. I can't even look at a tree without getting aroused. He's fully aware of what he's doing. And he takes his suspenders off. Okay, I think I never finish a video

because I've never heard him say good girl. I don't know if I like that. No. Don't do that. Don't wait till you do. Wait a second. You chop wood? Yes, ma'am.

Chopping wood is really hard. I grew up camping a lot because we didn't have a lot of money growing up. Yep, so you camped. So you had to chop wood. Our vacation was surviving in the woods.

Ditto. That's awesome. But I love it. I like camping. We camped a ton. It's the best. Best thing to do with your kids. It just grounds you.

I feel like it humbles you a little bit. Everybody should go camping at least once. Everybody. Yeah, now I have little survival skills. We had to go to survival classes, too. Shit. Holy shit. Do you ever watch Alone?

Oh, yeah. That's my favorite show. I love Alone. And they always come to Canada, too. Yeah, they're always in Canada. They're like, we're going to go to the most godforsaken place. That's where I live. Canada.

They don't go to Alaska or anything? No, they do. They've gone to Alaska, yes. And they've gone to like the Arctic. They've gone to Mongolia. They've done Patagonia. No, I'm obsessed with that show. It's so good.

And then you look at it and you're like, I can do that. And then you're like, no, you can't. What about Naked and Afraid? No. Absolutely not. No, I don't really. Bullshit. I don't like.

Stupid. Stupid show. Dumb. Why'd you and afraid? No. No, I don't really. Bullshit. I don't like. Stupid. Stupid show. Dumb. Why'd you even bring it up? Dumb. You should go. Amanda, you can leave. But alone is like, it's crazy.

Because probably the hardest part is them just being alone. It's not even survival. Oh, yeah. And you think that's not a big deal? Being in Canada is psychologically very hard. It's awful. They have a hard time there. Terrible.

I start talking like this. I'm struggling. I'm always alone-y. Terrible. I start talking like this. I'm struggling. I'm always alone. I just have my dog and my ex. I've never seen Alone. But one of my favorite shows, what is that Alaska show? There's 48, 23 degrees. Surviving Below Zero.

Oh, Below Zero. Below Zero. Why did I say 23 degrees? I don't know. That was weird. 98 Degrees? The Nick Lachey show. Below Zero is so good. I say 23 degrees? I don't know. That was weird. 98 degrees? The Nick Lachey show.

Below Zero is so good. I was obsessed with, what is her name? She's so amazing. She got attacked by a bear. Yes. And like, they literally, it ripped out her hips.

And she has like, Dude, yeah. She has like fox friends. She has fox friends. She is amazing on Below Zero. She lives alone in a compound. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You would love it. You would. She's Fox friends. She is amazing on Below Zero. She lives alone in a compound. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You would love it.

You would. She's a badass. There's a guy that went on Joe Rogan. He was on Below Zero as well. Yeah, he just lives out there by himself, built his own cabin and stuff. It's cool. It's crazy. That's Arctic.

Yeah, that's northern Canada as well. Holy shit. I think that's Yukon or Northwest Territories. Nobody lives in Northwest Territories. I've been to Yukon. Have you? Yeah. So I did Victoria.

I did the Yukon. Did you do like the Alaskan cruise or something? Uh-huh. Yep. I did the Alaskan cruise. I do not like cruises whatsoever, but my mom wanted to do it. Yep. And the best part was honestly Victoria and the Yukon.

Yeah. Beautiful. Yukon, we went to this town, and it was like a very sleepy old town. Everything north is beautiful. But Victoria, we rode bikes. It's beautiful. It was stunning. Saw so many bears.

It was beautiful. Oh, yeah. Alaska was great, too. We saw a bunch of whales. Yeah. Whale talk, man. This is why, my dude. I love whale talk.

Now we're back to whale talk. But I don't understand the people that are like, oh, whale, and they go up in a clear kayak. And then they're just like, and it's always a white guy. That's my page! Why are you doing that? That's my page! It's a clear kayak, and a white dude. And then the tail comes down, he falls out,

and I'm like, I hope it eats you. How did it happen? I hope it eats you. Literally, what are they doing out there? I don't know. What are they doing? And also sharks, when they're paddle boarding by sharks, it's like, Mark, Mark, watch out, Mark, watch out.

And the sharks just like, and then they always fall off. Yeah. The ocean's not okay, man. No. I'm so scared of the ocean. You can't fuck with that. Oh, I love the ocean. Oh, you do?

I mean, I love it, but I'm healthily scared of it. I'm very scared of it. Okay. And I scuba dive. Oh, that's good. I'm scared of it, so I go as far down as I can. I'm scared of it, but I dive. I love that.

This is her fears. When you dive, though, it's totally different than'm scared of it, so I go as far down as I can. I'm scared of it, but I dive. I love that she fixes her fears. When you dive though, it's totally different than when you're on top of the water. Yes. When you dive, I have dived. Oh, you're immersed. That's different. I agree. You can dive with sharks and they are just, they're more curious rather than if they're looking up at you and you're like a blob. You feel like prey on the water.

Exactly. Whereas when you're, I like being in it more so. But then that's scary too because like I always hear, I mean I listen to all these horror story podcasts and it's like the people that get like, what's it called? The bends. The bends. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

You can avoid the bends. The air bubbles and all that. No, people are scared of sharks when actually just the ocean itself is dangerous. You should be afraid of the ocean because it's really scary. Currents. Currents are scary.

Not even talking currents. I've dived in a current and it's really overwhelming. You should be afraid of the ocean. But it is something that my mom taught me at a young age. She was very intense about facing your fear. I got certified when I was 13. Amazing. And I was very scared.

Yeah. But we had this test that we had to do when we got certified. You basically had to tread water in this place called Shark Ray Alley in Belize, in Ambergs Cay. That's where I got certified. And it is a kind of like a weird sandbar where there are fucking stingrays this big and Nerf Sharks everywhere.

And they just like circle around you and you have to tread water for 20 minutes. That was like part of our test. So you could get used to. So you're not scared of them. But nurse sharks don't have teeth, they just have suckers. Oh, okay.

But, yeah, I guess it is scary. But the kayaking. No, no, no. Yeah, fair kayaks, fuck that. Only in a lake. No. Lakes are, what's down there? I don't know.

That's stagnant. Honestly? What the hell are you doing? But lakes? Murky water? What the fuck is down there? Yeah, stagnant water scares me. We've talked about TikTok.

We've talked about oceans. Yeah. Bears and lakes. Love it. I want to come back to... You said earlier that you have 30 characters about... Yeah. Ballpark, yeah. 30 yeah 30 40 I'm not sure

what are I didn't realize you had that many because I've seen I've seen Chad you brought Chad on to Smosh what are some of your favorites from over the years Chad is definitely one of them for sure he's just like I love Chad that one guy that you've dated or had to deal with like in high school or whatever

he peaked in high school for sure Riley's an OG she's like my little kid character that I always do and people get so mad at me if I didn't say she was but she's just like a mischievous like she's kind of like Stewie Griffin in a little fun you know and then Boston mom Janet she's should I hear the Boston mom would you be able to what's that what's your Boston? You don't have to. No, it's just like a really subtle accent.

I'm trying to think of what to say. What do I say? Yes. What should I say? I always have a key word when I jump into a character. Yeah, usually I say Boston. Like I say Boston. Boston.

Boston accent. Can I get a cup of coffee? Yes. It's like super monotone. She's like, Riley, shut the fuck up. I can't do that. And it's like super monotone, she's like, Riley, shut the fuck up, like I can't do it. And she's like, this deadpan, like I can't even fucking deal with you right now, like it's just too much. And she's like always talking about that. Love it.

That's so accurate. And then, yeah. That to me is like. That's the Departed, there's so many scenes from the Departed. And that's good, that's good. And I'm like obsessed with accents, so I just, my characters, I was like, ooh, I love doing

a Russian accent, and I come from like a German family, Russian family, so I was, my characters, I was like, ooh, I love doing a Russian accent, and I come from a German family, Russian family, so I was like, I'm gonna throw in a Russian character who, she's always on the precipice of, she could be a spy, but she doesn't say anything, and she's Janet's girlfriend, because Janet had a messy divorce, and I was like, I wanna have a lesbian couple.

So I was just like, so I have this Russian character, and she's super suave and really sexy. She's somebody I wish I could become. That's what I love. And then she has two kids, Misha and Sergey, who are with... And then they have a cousin, Boris and Svetlana. And then Janet has a twin sister.

I've expanded into this weird... You've created a character family. A cinematic universe. It gives me chills. I get so excited when people come up to me and they like these tertiary characters that only come on once every 20 episodes or whatever. I love that.

Or I have a German artist who was just at this, whatever, this museum, and he makes the stupidest art. I duct taped a banana to a grate like that, and he's like, oh, this is my art. It's priceless. I only got my one name, and it's Gunter. So it's just like, I don't know. I could go on forever.

It's like you're doing long form based on us two characters. And it builds. You're literally doing long form. It's kind of like like a like a family guy or something where it doesn't need to really

be connected you don't need to watch every episode to get to get where they're going exactly so it's cool the people can go back

exactly the people can go back and watch it all the way through and it'll make sense like oh Janet met Katrina and like this or they can jump in

and they yeah exactly so it's kind of fun for people that have watched since the beginning. They get all the little Easter eggs that I put in. That's so fun. I didn't know that you were building it like that.

Yeah, and that's okay. I kind of like that people either know it or they don't. I love that. And then YouTube's just a completely different space, which is really fun too. It's just me, right? Well, I do some skits here and there, but it's more just me, which is really cool. So if I go and I need to catch up on the entire lore, that is going to change my For You page so hardcore.

Yeah, oh my god, it'll just be me, dude. It'll just be you. Call me Chris. The next time I see you, I'll be like, hey. So what happened with Misha and Sergey and Courtney when they did the seance? I don't understand how they died. Is she a spy or? I'll be like, hey. So what happened with Misha and Sergey and Courtney when they did the seance? I don't understand how they got.

Is she a spy? I had a murder mystery five part series with all of them. Have you ever thought about having an animator animate all those characters and you voice them? I went through all of that, man, with networks. I had Adult Swim wanting to pick it up. Oh my god. Yeah, it was crazy my god yeah it was

like it was crazy and then i went like it was ytv and adult swim but it was more of like i wanted to be more adult but then why or they wanted to change it so much and it was like that's gonna take two years and i was like i could just do this on my own if i wanted to and i still could and i would just do it on youtube by myself yeah you would that's so but yeah that's definitely that's something I've been thinking about like a lot and it's an option but I'm doing like other big projects too like I've uh written a movie with like my editor and like we're gonna just do that and just do it on our own so awesome and probably go on tour with it and then eventually put it on YouTube like it's just so it's just so cool what we can do. It's inspiring.

And it's so much less time. It's inspiring. It's a little bit more effort on your part, but then it's all yours. You wrote it. You did all the stuff. You control it. You hire who you want. It's so cool. You edit it. You fund it.

You do whatever you need to do. You don't sell your soul for it. Exactly. I got good deals. like I could've, I turned down really good deals, but it's just like, if they're gonna change it that much, it's not even me anymore. And you're just having fun.

And I'm just having fun, exactly. You need to protect your art. And I was like, this is my little baby. Yeah, yeah. I'm so hot on it. You always need to protect your art, especially ones that come from like joy. Yeah, exactly. When you're writing for,

it was like a coping mechanism for me. So I'm like, no, no, no, this is like. No, keep that. I just think animated, that's so funny, because I just think, listening to all these characters, it would be so fun to see them all in like, almost like a friends kind of scenario. Like, there's one cafe that they all hang out in and then they all go to the mall.

Yeah, I wrote 10 episodes and it's, I still want to do it and it starts with like, sorry, I'm getting so off topic. Oh, I love it. Okay, yeah, we were supposed to,

it was like, it starts with Janet and Riley in a car from Boston going up to Canada. They're going to go to like a Bible Belt border town and because Janet just got divorced

and then that's where they meet, just this barrage of characters, and she starts working in the mall as a hairdresser, Chad works out the Foot Locker place. And like, it is, yeah. So, I was like, I still really wanna do it. So, you've reminded me of that, so thank you. I love that.

I gotta bring it back. I'm really, really inspired by that. That is so cool how much you, cause literally, we've used this podcast as a means of motivating me to write. Oh, good, yay! It's mainly just to motivate, shape, write. I'm using this selfishly to try to motivate me

to get stuff done. That's good. I think we have a little bit of time left. We asked you if we wanted to all try to pitch a bunch of new characters. Yeah, right. Just dumb, stupid characters. So we could throw them out here.

We have a last little bit to cap this off. We could all take turns and just throw out characters. Yeah, you guys go first because I didn't even come up with anything. We could elaborate. Do it on the fly. Do it on the fly. It's probably going to be better than us. Or at the very least,

I could pitch some of these characters and you could let us know what you think of these. Do it on the fly. It's probably going to be better than us. Or at the very least, I could pitch some of these characters, and you could let us know what you think it would be. Okay, I love that. Because I haven't made a new character in a minute. Sure, let's do that. I have the chosen dumpster wizard, but I haven't made a... Yeah, let's do it. I was there, man.

So, okay. Here's a character that I want to do, and I think this is a very legit one. Guy who drinks yerba mate. You mean Spencer? Yerba mate. Have you heard of yerba mate? No, what's that? You've Guy who drinks yerba mate. You mean Spencer? Yerba mate. Have you heard of yerba mate? No, what's that? You've never heard of yerba mate?

It's basically like a healthier energy drink. It's like a tea, though. Okay. It's a tea. It's a tea. It comes in these yellow cans. You'll see it now. You'll start to notice it.

Yeah, now I'll see it everywhere. And there's a type of person who drinks yerba mate. It kind of reminds me of the guy on my For You page who is a human Tarzan. Yes. The guy who's like the human Tarzan who climbs trees. They're always super chill. His whole personality revolves around it. I love that.

I feel like this guy maybe isn't chill because he has too many yerba mates. I think he's chill, though. But I just mean there's a mindset to a person who drinks yerba mate. Okay. They typically like the outdoors. Spencer's a kind of twist on on them so what's the attitude i think the attitude is so it ties in i kind of wrote this as a secondary character but it's the same guy which is shirtless guy on a hike okay and that's a guy and that guy drinks yerba mate yeah it's kind of just it's just very confident

like he loves nature but he's made nature his identity yeah yeah yeah and he's kind of just, is just very confident. Like, he loves nature, but he's made nature his identity. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. And he's kind of like, it's, there's just like a vibe. They're the ones that when you're walking

through the woods, you come across them and they're like, how's it going? Good day, huh? They're wearing like jean shorts and they're showing

their back. And they always call out, they're like, you see that bird up there? It's kind of crazy. Like, they're actually going extinct, but it's really cool.

Do you want to see? I found a vantage point and you're like I am hiking I can't breathe right now they're also the ones that are like you got some switchbacks

up there pretty tough it's pretty muddy up there after there it's smooth sailing to the peak he's wearing like high top converse

yeah it's so chill just like he lives there man yeah it's fine I love that they're so positive but you somehow

kind of hate them. I don't know. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Always. Oh, so I'll bring this up next week as well. Pinata surgeon. Yes. Come on.

Hardcore guy. I love that. Think George Clooney in ER. Okay. But he just gets pinatas. And he's, maybe he's at a kid's party. Okay. And they break the pinata, and he's just like, oh, fuck.

He's like, come on, get me something. Oh, we're losing him. All the kids are freaking out. We're losing him. We're losing the three musketeers. The kids are like,

get away from our piñata. What are you doing? We want the candy. We want the snacks. Yeah. That's awesome. I brought the, okay,

I actually, this is a character I actually really want to do and I think I'll do it on Try Not to Laugh at some point. Yes. I want to play Stephen King. But I want to be Stephen King and he just, he kind of, talk about, we were talking about this, never mind.

No, we talked about it with Olivia, but that's in the future. Okay, yeah, yeah. That podcast is in the future. I want to play Stephen King but he's he is always pitching why everything's spooky and I think

he gets kind of his thing he's just like a little too into it it's not even it's not even right talk about talk about your day

like talk about what you're gonna do talk about like what you did this past week we're gonna eat lunch after this yeah we're gonna eat lunch gonna grab some coffee

but what if the what if the coffee actually has poison in it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's good. I like that. Spooky. I love that.

That's a grounded character, in my opinion. Yeah. That's almost just like, yeah, but what if the chair started talking and eating your leg? Yeah, right? So you have a date on Friday. What if she turns out to be a witch? She's actually going to steal your way. Yeah, right? So you have a date on Friday. What if she turns out to be a witch? She's actually going to steal your soul.

Okay, but I want to put him with someone who's just like, yeah, man, she could be a witch. Yeah, just a stoner. Not understanding it at all. Maybe he's with the Yerba Mate. I was going to say, put him with that guy. That guy's like, I'm thinking about going up on a hike tomorrow. He's like,

what if you accidentally get lost and then kidnapped by a lady who's a fan of yours and she breaks your ankle? Dude, I would love that.

That's a plot of a movie. Is that misery? Oh, wait, I already had that idea. Oh, shit. He gets fucked up when he already had the idea. I'll be the dream.

Yeah, damn it. You should do those two together. That's great. I like that a lot. I like that a lot. I love his books, too. That's great. Me, too.

I love that. I kind of feel like you have a lot of connection to the East Coast. Yeah. Right? Is it because of Canada? Canada. The East Coast just wraps up into the North and it stays the same. I'm on the West Coast.

Because you're on the West Coast of Canada, but like Maine, Boston. Yeah. Yeah. And then they go up to Newfoundland. Newfies are just Irish people, basically. Those are where the true Canadians are. They're like, what are you doing?

What are you going about? That's how they talk. You're like, what? They literally sound Irish. How are you doing, A? Welcome to Canada. That's literally what they talk about They talk like that. You're like, what? They literally sound Irish. Oh, how you doing, A? Welcome to Canada. That's literally what they talk about. Literally.

What the fuck? What are you talking about? They're talking about that. They talk like this. What? I can understand them, but if you were just to come to Newfoundland, you'd be like, am I in Ireland? Is that where the Keebler elves are?

Yes. We're going to have to work on that character. Guys, hear me out. Keebler Elf. Just out. But blasted six. Keebler Elf, but he's just, all right, we've got to make some more cookies. I kind of love that.

I love that. Ah, shit. I kind of love that. That's great. That's great. Wow. Those are good. Those are good. Those are good fucking characters. The King one was my favorite. Yeah. That's great. That's great. Wow. You have, those are good. Those are good.

Those are good fucking characters. The Stephen King one was my favorite. Yeah, that's great. Yeah, I love that one. Oh, oh, actually, I wrote, I'll have this.

I wrote two more. I have Mickey apologizing for some like recent controversy. Mickey Mouse? Mickey Mouse. Like, like just some sort of Mickey,

like controversy. And he just starts off in this video and he's just like, pfft. The past few days have been extremely difficult for me

and my mental health. I've been working on myself and I think the best answer moving forward is I've talked with Goofy, I've talked with Donald, and I think I'm going to take a step away from the screen for a minute. I fucking love that. And they ask Goofy to comment on it. He's like, oh, gosh, I don't know what to say.

That's actually really good. The way, just the upper register oh I just liked it that's perfect that's great I love that I had one other character and I wrote Amanda and I wrote what

don't be mad I thought this is a kind of funny this isn't true this is a archetype this is an exaggeration but This isn't true. This is a archetype. This is an exaggeration. But it's Amanda hearing a really bad idea and being like

I love that. Oh my God. Being too nice. That's what you did to me earlier. Oh my God. I love that. That's such a good idea. Is that what I've been doing

for an hour? Let's just backtrack. I think no stay with me. I think that maybe if we just don't do that, but like... It's true.

Chris already has a perfect Amanda impression. It's fucking true. No, it's not true. That's a good Canadian thing, too. You're a very sweet person and it's not, you're not lying.

That's what I've learned. You just sugarcoat a little bit for feeling. It's not good, though. No, it's fine. Because I am, the thing is, when you are from boston and you are

you are seen as a asshole i've had a lot of people like you've got anger problems so when you when you get older you overcompensate and when i was teaching improv actually it's funny the biggest note i got was like so hey you can't tell everyone good job because it's not it's not always good job and i'm like yeah but isn't positive reinforcement better than like I don't know where you were I don't know what was happening and I'm disappointed I mean I don't want you to change no no

no it's great I like that too everybody in the comments let everybody in the comments let Amanda know she's doing a great job you're doing great sweetie I'm not mad no walks off set I walk Amanda knows she's doing a great job. You're doing great, Stevie. I'm not mad. No. Walks off set.

I come in here next, I'm like, terrible idea. Next. Stupid. You just have a Boston accent next episode? Fucking dumb. Honestly, you're fucking acting like a fucking piece of shit.
