We have no guests. It's just us. It's just us, and I want to start doing this a little more often. Or just every now and then. It's a little bit of a checkpoint. Yes. A little bit of a check-in. Just us talking about whatever we want.

Kind of doing some reflection. Yeah. Talking about the responses from y'all who've been listening and watching. Talk about what we want to do in the future on this show. Talk about this show. And what's been going on in our lives. Exactly. Amanda, how have you been? I've been so good.

I've been very peaceful. I have been on a horror movie kick. Yeah? I. How many horror movies have you watched recently? Well, I'm basically almost done with the insidious movies. I'm basically people, friends who have told me not to watch specific horror movies years ago, I'm watching. Okay.

I don't know why, but it feels, I feel very proud of myself. I guess it is the season. It is the season. I, the only horror movie I've watched this year is Talk to Me, which have you seen? Of course. So good. So good. What's the scariest shit you've watched recently, though?

Honestly, the Insidious series are really scary. I've seen the first one where it's got that face that appears behind it. Yes. That's one of the scariest moments in all of the movies. Yes. Well, they get scarier. Really? Yeah, they get really. Well, they get scarier. Really? Yeah, they get really...

I thought they had like... I thought they weren't good. They have horrible reviews. But they're scary. I find them to be really scary. Bad movies with scary parts or overall? I think that they're great.

Okay. Because they follow the medium. They follow her origin story. Yeah, they've got like 15 movies by this point, those two. That whole universe, because you've got the Insidious stuff, right? The Conjuring. Conjuring is part of Insidious. Or is that a different thing?

Actually, I think it's a different thing. I think Insidious is its own thing. And then Conjuring is Conjuring, Annabelle, The Nun. Is all the same. That's all one universe where they also are, those main people are also in. Yes, correct. That's so confusing. That's why it's confusing.

Is it the same couple? No. It's the same dad. It's the same dad, Patrick Wilson. It's the same actor. But it's not the same dad. It's not the same guy. It's not the same character.

It's the same actor. It's the same actor. So I've been feeling really good. Yeah. So I'm not the same dad. It's not the same guy. It's not the same character. It's the same actor. It's the same actor. So I've been feeling really good. Yeah. So I'm freaked the fuck out. It feels good. It feels good for me to go past my fears. But what I realize is I have to keep a nightlight on now.

Funny. For bed. But yeah, I've been feeling good. How are you? I am doing pretty good. Yeah? I'm doing pretty good. Yeah? I'm doing pretty good, actually. I had my birthday recently, and it was really great. It was really great, and I kind of dread my—I don't dread my birthday, but I just don't—I get a little stressed from it.

Why? Because I hate having to organize something, and I realize— it's always a little bit of a reflecting moment for me because I realize the negative thoughts in my head. And it's not that I think people hate me, but it's that I'm like, they're going to be bored or they're going to think I'm weird or they don't want to actually hang out or all these dumb thoughts. And, you know, I ended up just, I ended up just kind of being like, oh, we're going to meet up at this place after work on Friday. And, you know, a lot of people went and it just was a really great time. And I, you know, it's, it's one thing to like, oh yeah, I felt a lot of love that night, but it's also what I think makes me feel good is when I recognize how much I care about the people in my life.

Like that's where my joy comes from. Yes. And I was really feeling that that night. And I've been struggling with this a little bit this year of I'm really bad at kind of putting it, making the effort or like reaching out to people and and keeping connections going um it comes from a place of fear it comes from a place of well i i shouldn't reach out or they don't they're gonna be or or if i forget to text someone back the next day i go they're gonna be so mad at me and and and so i end up not and i end up i i this sounds extreme and it's this isn't fully the case but I feel like I distance myself from everyone sometimes by accident and then I I you know I can that can result in me feeling a

little alone but all it takes is the reminder of oh yeah I can reach out to people anytime and I and all it takes is that doing it and and just talking to people and reminding myself that people care about me and I care about them. Then I feel great. Isn't it funny that birthdays bring up all of that? Oh, dude. Why? It's like birthday is supposed to be a celebration, but always it's like a time of reflection. Like it's like, okay, what do I want to do this year?

How am I feeling this year? Who do i want to do this year how am i feeling this year right who do i want to hang out with and it is such a social game where it's actually just about you yeah and i think i think the pressure is that people it's like with weddings right people put this pressure on like oh it's your birthday you must see everyone you know and love and care about on that day it feels like a job and you must entertain them yeah and but to me it's like it is it can be a really cool check-in to be like oh who is in my life right now who has stuck around yeah right yeah yeah i feel like also my favorite birthday sometimes are well my favorite birthday tradition is just doing karaoke with everyone.

Because I'm like, for me, I have to have an event that people will enjoy, that people will get something out of it as well. But I also love leaving town. Yeah, man. I straight up love just going away and getting the texts. And then it's like, all right, I got the text messages. But do you remember when Facebook was really big? Oh, that was how I knew about people's birthdays for the longest time. I'm really bad with dates, so I forget.

Same. It's not that I forget someone's birthday. I forget what day it is. I'm not kidding. I forget the date. I know what I have to do this week. I know what I have to do this week. I know what I have to do tomorrow. But I'm not paying attention to the number sometimes.

So I sometimes be like, oh, shit, it's the 30th? Oh, God. That happens all the time to me. But anyways, Facebook. I forget birthdays, too. Facebook was a godsend for the time. Yeah, but remember when it was your birthday and you had like 150 comments on your wall?

Happy birthday. Happy birthday. Relatively, yeah. Happy birthday. Happy birthday from people that you're like, I don't know you. Okay, Parker. Cool, man.

Thanks. It's like, happy birthday. Or people that are your family will write really long, serious things on your wall. And you're like, okay, thanks. Did you have family members who would write not understanding that it's public? Oh, yeah. Yeah. I missed your call, and I wish that we connected more.

And your mom and I are, you know, we're not in a good place, but I want to wish you a happy birthday. And I'm like, okay. What's good is my aunts have figured out like, oh, Messenger is really cool. Yeah. Because it's private. Yeah. But like, I don't know what it is maybe this is every family but i feel like my family specifically will just talk there's no filter

there they're that's they know it's public and they in fact they probably are like this better your mom and i haven't been speaking and i'm like do you think she's gonna? I know she's reading this right now. Listen to me, you piece of shit. Hit me up. The older generation is just. How have you been feeling about this podcast? Okay, this podcast brings me so much joy. Yeah. A, because I get to hang out with you

and get to know you better. And it's really fun because, don't do that. I'm like, oh, cool. I'm taking it on for a chance where he goes, don't do that. I'm like, oh, I'm taking it on for a chance where he goes, don't do that. Don't do that.

But it's like, I've always known you as like, Shane, right? Like, okay, you're in this video with Shane, he's hosting or whatever.

Now I get to like, know you on a different level and I feel like, since you and I are, you know, producing this and like, thinking about topics,

we get to just like, connect and be creative, which is super fun. It's also such a creative outlet, too. We bring sketches. We think about what's going on in our life. Yeah. I love it. What's so cool about it, too, is that there has been truly no one telling us what to do with this podcast. So everything you've listened to or seen on this has been purely you and I being like, what if we did that?

We finally got a sign. Oh, my God. How did we not address this immediately? We ordered it forever ago, like truly well over a month ago probably two months ago and it just took a long time to get made i wanted huge i want to talk about just how not mundane how just silly every step of the process of this podcast has been yes because we we were like trying to figure out what should we keep this podcast is smoshcast what should what are we what are we doing with this what's going on so we kind of i i hit up like ian and anthony and i was like can we should we keep this podcast as Smoshcast? What are we doing with this?

What's going on? So we kind of, I hit up like Ian and Anthony and I was like, can we set like a meeting and actually talk about this podcast? So we got a bunch of people together and we were talking about it. And, you know, at the time they had flashback coming onto this channel. Yeah.

And so. Which is now on the Smoshcast. Yeah. So at the time it was like, oh, they're bringing flashback over to the Smosh cast channel. So we should change Smosh cast. So it's not named Smosh cast. Amanda and Shane.

Not not confusing. So we're like, let's figure out a name. And I forget who said it, but someone we were throwing out just names. We're trying to figure out what sounds good. We wanted Smosh to be in the title. And someone said Smosh mouth. Britney. I might have been i forget i forget we will we can we can we'll credit it but we said that in a meeting and we that got said we all just kind of laughed

we're like that's silly that sounds good smosh mouth it makes sense with the podcast yeah i understand there's there's similarities and references there. Being honest, that wasn't the reason for it. No, it wasn't. It was just because we were like, that's funny. We talk. It's Smosh. Yeah.

Smosh mouth. Yes, of course it has similarities. But that's also funny to us. And so we're like, okay, what we should do is we should kind of throw it out there. And we should make it sound like it's an inside joke. I'm not kidding. This was our plan. And so it was in the episode and Jackie, like a pro, she threw it out there because we talked to her beforehand.

We're like, yeah, we're changing the name to Smosh Mouth, but we're going to be very subtle about it. And then she said it so casually in there and we were like, oh, pretty good. And we then kept the ball rolling. I think Noah also said it so casually in there. And we were like, oh, pretty good. And we then kept the ball rolling. I think Noah also said it too. I think. When we were like deep in conspiracies, Noah was like smosh mouth. And we were like, oh.

Oh. Uh-oh. Everyone's just such good actors around here. They're so good. And yeah, now we have it, have this. I mean, look, you can comment down below if you have a better title idea. True, Shamanda.

Once again, zero rules here. We did get a sign, though. So we live here now. We have invested a little bit in this name. We invested a lot. Oh, yeah. This name is invested. But I would say what was fun about this name

is we were thinking about pictures for us. And remember we were going to do just portraits and then the big mouth filter? Someone said that. And then we were like, okay, I guess we could have just gigantic mouths. What we ended up with, though, and this was very much your idea, was going with a Sonny and Cher vibe. Yes. And I think it really matches. I got you, babe.

Yeah. I think because I don't know why we were very into 60s or 70s. It just feels like this podcast is we're in our living room and we're hanging out. And like, come on in. Let's chat. Just chill. No judgment.

And then go. I think you and I have a bit of a, I think we have like vintage vibes to us too. I, by the day, I look like the old school brawny man nowadays. Oh my God. I really do. I look like the old school brawny man. Here, check it out.

Yeah, can we pull up a clip of the old school brawny man? Luke, throw it up right next to me. The old school one, the blonde guy. I know they have the newer guy. It's so, yeah, you are so him. You're a paper towel man. I'm paper towel man. What can I say?

So wait, then what am I? Am I a crusader? Remember my funeral? That roast, I'm so proud of that roast that you have the haircut of a 13th century crusader, I think I said. Oh, my God. Pretty proud of it. I look back and my bangs have grown out.

Just kidding. No, you don't look like that. You look like the berries and cream guy. Who's that? Okay. Okay, pull it up. Okay, what should I pose? I'll show you the berries and cream guy.

Yeah, and then I'll pose as it so he can pull it up next to me. Okay. Oh, God. Hold on. You're going to love this. You're going to love this. I've got it right here. Got it.

Okay, fuck off. And you thought Cat in the Hat was bad. Fuck off! First of all. Amanda, how are you doing? Let me do the face. Have you never seen that commercial? No.

You've never seen Berries and Cream? No, but should we play it? We are going to watch Berries and Cream after this. It kind of looks like Bill Hader. It's a little Bill Hader vibes. So when I look back on old videos of my haircut, I'm like, oh my god.

Like, what was I thinking? Honestly, I'm happy. You pull off the haircut, but a lot of silly people out in the world have your haircut. That's okay. That makes it more impressive that you pull it off. Well, I think, nostalgically, the berries and cream guy is so fucked.

Look, dude, it's the best, it is arguably the best commercial of all time. Okay, I'm gonna have to watch it. I don't know how you missed this. I... It was played in movie theaters. Oh, maybe I did see it. It's the one where it's... Although, why is he so colonial?

You know, we don't need to watch it. I'm just gonna explain to you berries and cream, because cream, because it's ingrained in my millennial mind. Explain. Two guys are eating Skittles, and it's the berries and cream flavor Skittles that they had. And they're like, oh, yeah, it tastes like berries. And all of a sudden, this guy appears, and he's like, berries? Did you say berries? What?

And they're like, yeah, it tastes like berries. He's like, and what else? And they're like, cream. And then he goes into this song and dance where he's like, berries and cream, berries and cream. I'm a little lad who loves berries and cream. What? And then he does like a jump high kick and nearly kicks one of them in the face. And that's it.

It's stellar. It's a stellar commercial. Wait, it's it. It's stellar. It's a stellar commercial. Wait, it's me. It's me. It's truly you. The amount of times I kick and it hits something. I hope I don't get copyright struck for that song. I don't think I will.

If we do, that would be truly so funny. I don't care. We don't care. The thing is, our parents are gone. We are left alone in this house. Nobody cares what we do, Shane. Nobody cares. Anyways.

Anyways. Going back, this podcast has been great. You know something? So we've done so many different things, and we're still testing out different stuff. And I'm really enjoying that. We've written sketches we've read our notes app we've talked about things in the past we've done all sorts of stuff I want to keep doing new things but something that I feel like has been an underlying theme and I've seen a

lot of comments about it is that it's been borderline a motivational podcast for people. Totally. In a much more humble manner, right? Yeah. We're not a motivational podcast. We're not here being like, you need to wake up at 5 a.m., take a cold shower, and start thinking about your business at 6 a.m.

No, we're talking about just general motivation, and we're talking about it from a personal place. We're like, we are like, that's what I feel like Sonny and and share without us even knowing we were that is i got you babe is kind of like i got you whatever's going on i believe in you that's what it feels like it naturally came to which but but i feel like we do it in such like a funny in a real honest but funny manner because i feel like you and i look at life very similar and like oh man like even the dark shit we're just like that's funny like you know yeah you

know what i also think it is in my mind um a lot of motivation is about the outcome it's like motivation for here's how you achieve this thing here's how you get this thing. Here's how you get this thing you want. And I think we talk a little bit more about motivation as a means of here's how you motivate yourself to do what you love. Here's that thing you want to do. Here, like do it. And I think that's for us

because the writing stuff, it's not about, well, I want to, we're trying to become successful writers. It's, oh, I enjoy writing, so why don't I do it? I know. How do I push myself to do that? And I think a lot of people can relate in that we all have things we just want to do that we know will bring us joy, but we are afraid to take that plunge.

So how do you motivate yourself to take that plunge and then enjoy life? Yeah, I agree with that completely. I feel like I have people message me on Instagram being like, you know, I loved the podcast episode about inspiration or reading your notes out because it's like, I feel like it's as a person, it's so hard to motivate yourself. Like I can't stand that's like, well, I booked a, I booked a, a small little Airbnb and in the hills of Ireland and I'm going to write a script. It's like, okay, well, good. I'm glad if you can do that. But I can't.

And I need, I think the first step of motivation is just like getting myself there. Whether it's like getting myself in the seat and writing a page, you have to celebrate that. I feel like on this podcast, we start that. We ignite it. We give ourselves tasks to do it. I definitely do it.

I've been using this podcast selfishly as a means of motivating myself. I know I'm like, I have to talk about the thing. I have to do the thing. Yeah. So, you know, we disguised that

with Angela and with Olivia as, hey, we're going to get you to write something. But truly, deep down, I knew it was for me and it was so much fun and I want to find more ways

of doing that. Speaking of motivation and goals, something that I know fans are very curious about, and I wanted to save it for here at the beginning of, well, so let me give some backstory on this. I'm going to do the splits that year. That's always my goal. Every year I'm going to do the splits. And it has been a lifelong goal of mine because I've just been like, it must feel cool. It's funny. It's such a cool thing to be able to do the splits. So every year for the past four years I've been like, I'm going to do it.

And it's a little bit of a joke, but there was always a great truth to it of I do genuinely want to do this. All I need to do is stretch every day and I could make a lot of progress towards it. So this year I was so legitimately determined and I posted all sorts of shit. Oh, yeah. I posted on TikTok. It's like my last post on TikTok. I just see you as this with your legs like kind of there. I was so dead serious about it.

And I'm being honest here. I have been stretching consistently all year. So I'm going to answer the question, can I do the splits? And the answer is no. No. No. But I want to tell you guys about the journey to where I'm at now. I started this year off.

I stretched every day and I was doing like a splits, like beginners, like, like getting into the splits. You know, if you do this, if you do this 90 day program, you'll do the splits at the end of it. So I started it and I was doing that every day. I did that for months. I want to say it was up until, up until May, I stretched every day, very consistently, like every single day. And I still, I made progress, but I didn't make the progress that I was, I think in my head, I thought. Which is a part of, which is, in my mind, looking back, it's a downside.

Deadlines are great to just motivate yourself, but deadlines can be very detrimental. Yes, because then it's like, I didn't do it, I'm a failure. And then you're done. And that's what kind of happened to me, is I got into June, and I had been doing it every day, and I was like, I'm not going to be able to do this. And I think it just, it was day and I was like, I'm not going to be able to do this. And I, and I think it just,

it was that plus it was, I think summer gets really busy for us and Anthony coming back. And I think I truly lost focus. And then what happened was I had one week where I stopped consistently doing it. I went from doing every single day, every single day. And then I just kind of dropped off entirely because as soon as I fell off

a couple days, I just fell off. And then you didn't see progress and you're like, ugh. And then I had negative progress because I didn't stretch for like, I didn't stretch consistently for like a month or two. And then it kind of reverted, I wouldn't say it reverted all the way back, but it, you know, I then was like, oh shit. Because simultaneously, because I'm a psycho, I've also been working out harder than ever. Oh.

And so I'm trying to gain muscle weight as well. And I have gained like 10 pounds this year. Nice. So I'm doing that as well. But of course, it's super counter to being flexible because I'm doing squats and deadlifts and of course it's going to make it hard to there's no way you're going to be able to

are you trying to split the wide way so both I was doing both but side splits are taking forever for me they're so hard side splits are so tough what's also tough for me is getting I also think people

underestimate how unflexible I was at the start of this year. So I know I am, and I think it's genetic too, because I've had family members talk about this. We're built like a frigging rock. Like we don't move. Our body does not move. And so at the beginning of this year, I couldn't, I could hardly do anything. And I have made a lot of progress. It just doesn't look like what a normal person's progress would probably look like. But I want to say in regards to motivation and stuff is I set on this goal to do the splits by summer. And I didn't achieve that. But I am more flexible than I've ever been.

And it just, it's not like, I'm super flexible, but it's that I feel better than ever. See? I feel so good. My legs, I used to, I didn't stretch for

most of my life. Oh, God, no. And there were days, and, you know, people who work here, who worked here back in, like, 2015 to 2018 talked about it.

They would tell me occasionally, like they could tell when I'd been working out a lot because I like, I had a hard time. Like I sometimes like truly was just not in pain, but my legs were just so tight that it was tough. And so now I have so much more mobility and I feel awesome. And I will say here on this podcast,

I'm not giving up. I'm still very determined to try to get as far as I can this year. Kimmy actually was the one who got me for my birthday. She got me this awesome like stretcher thing that helps like, you can, you know how like.

Is it like a resistant band? It's kind of complicated, but it helps you do the splits. It's this cool like, it's this cool device. It's kind of complicated, but it helps you do the splits. It's this cool device. It's a very simple device, but it helps kind of hold your... You're in a sitting position. And also what happened, this is an excuse, but also something that happened was I did semi-injure my knee

in trying to do the splits. Ow. Because I was doing it from the standing position middle splits. I was trying. And I know so many comments are going to be like, Shane, why were you doing that? It's because I'm lazy and that was the easiest way to go

about it. And yeah, I'm putting too much weight on my knees and it's just a bad place. So then someone was like, oh, you should do it up against a wall. So I started doing that. And that did feel better, but, you should do it up against a wall. Of course. So I started doing that and that did feel better, but it was still like inconvenient.

I don't really have space for that where I live. And so this is perfect. And I've now been doing this every day and I'm going to hopefully, but I will also say my goals are a little different now because now I realize

that the benefit ultimately of stretching is just feeling better and i don't need to do the splits to have that benefit keep that but i want to do the splits i i really am going to keep on trying i think it's hard for me to give a timetable because clearly my body no you can everybody's body works differently, but I will give, I will give more updates on this show. Not going to give it other places. It's just going to be here. That's, that's special to hear because that's my journey.

Can I ask you, are you, from someone who can almost do a split, and I am very tall, and when I was 16, I couldn't even touch my toes. Wow. But I've been doing yoga since I was 16. Oh, see, my hamstring flexibility is great now. Can I ask you, are you doing deep hip stretches? So, yeah, I sit in, like, the, I do the standing like the squat position. I do that a lot. Like I'll watch TV while I'm like,

you know, where I like you're in a standing position and then you just squat down and like you have your elbows to your knees, the inside of your knees. And I'm just there. And I'll just sometimes watch TV from that position. It's hard. I tend to fall backwards.

See, but you're building muscle. You're not fully doing it. It's very, it's, I feel the stretch. I tend to fall backwards. See, but you're building muscle. You're not fully doing it. It's very. I feel the stretch. I feel the stretch. I'm going to show you some stretches that are going to open that shit up. There's also what's the one? Frog.

Frog pose. I do some of that. I'm doing. I'm stretching. OK. I'm stretching. OK. I'm telling you.

I've made progress. Good. I believe you. I feel good. Good. You'm stretching. Okay. I'm telling you. I've made progress. Good. I believe you. I feel good. Good. You can almost do the splits? Yeah. Which one?

Side splits? Side split almost. And then front splits? My favorite thing to do is go up against the wall and put your butt up against the wall and then, right? Like have your legs out and you have to hold it there for two minutes. I've been doing that. So you hold it there for two minutes.

But I can almost do the forward split. So I did a show last night and I pitched this massage therapist who kept slipping on oil on this guy's back. So dumb. So dumb. But I literally was just supposed to like slick off the oil because she basically falls asleep because the music's so relaxing I slick off the oil and I'm supposed to just slip but last night there was so much water and oil that I on stage was doing splits without realizing it and all I was thinking was whoa I can almost do a split. That's so insane.

How often are you doing that stretch? So I do my workouts are I do a lot of Muay Thai. Right. Which is straight up hip opening. Okay. So Muay Thai is it's not boxing. It's literally twist, turn. Well, you are doing a bunch of punches.

But it's a lot of hip opening. So I do so many hip openers. It's badass. And then I do yoga. And then I'll do Pilates. And my main stretches will literally be like a psoas stretch, pigeon, frog, and then I'll do butterfly and lean over. Pretty cool. And you have to stay in them for at least a minute or two.

It's the amount of time you stay in them that really helps. Okay. And the only thing is you have to be very relaxed. Otherwise, it won't relax and open. Okay. You have to open it up. All right. Well, look, I'm going to keep working on it. I'm gonna keep working on it I'm gonna try

in December we can do like we can actually look at the progress I'll do it cause right now if I did it it's more than I think than before but it's not the splits so it's just not and I'm owning up to it

but I did try you did agree I am and I'm owning up to it but I did try you did agree I am trying yeah see that's all that matters I'm still going and most years all these past years I just stopped entirely

but I've been very consistent and I'm gonna keep on going I'm feeling good there's a lot of stretches that like dude I can pretty much touch my palms to the floor from the

with a like see I feel like that's all that matters is like, I've gotten more, do it and get better. I got flexible in other ways, more so than the splits. And it's pissed me off that I'm like,

I just mean literally like, like from, from a standing position, leaning down to the floor. Oh yeah. It takes years. I know. I know.

I was, I was greedy. You greedy little, but I'm going to use anyways, I'm going to use this, this podcast to motivate myself. And I hope people listening and watching, like, comment, you know, comment the things that you're, this isn't like motivation. Like, I want to make a million dollars.

I think it's more motivation. Like, I want to get into pottery. It's like, that's the type of stuff. I want to motivate people to do the things they love and just do it for the enjoyment of it. That's the type of motivation I think I want to try to push here. I love that. And then we can do another check-in episode and kind of read people's comments. Yeah, I would love – so we talked about it for this episode.

We realized it kind of before we started recording but I think in maybe in a few episodes from now when we do this again I think we will have compiled a bunch of our favorite comments I'm almost in my head I'm like I'll give out certain types of awards like best most inspiring comment

funniest comment yeah we're gonna read them dumbest comment dumbest comment oh Dumbest comment. Oh, like possible pitches. I would love character pitches personally for moi. Yeah, throw out some pitches. And maybe we could do them on TNTL. Yeah.

And pitches for future episodes, which also I wanted to kind of talk about that. Yeah. We literally just are coming up with them on the fly a lot. I mean, we do brainstorm a little bit. And sometimes we think about the guest and be like, oh. Yeah. Like for Call Me Chris, you know, we were like, okay. Characters.

Characters. And talk about our For You pages. Yeah, Tommy. Yeah. But future episode pitches, that would be good. I had one. Oh, I just wrote down starting beefs. If, because I feel like a lot of podcasts have beefs with people.

So maybe we could, for one episode, we could just try to start beefs with others. You know when you have a hair just like everywhere and you're like, there's a hair on my back. Where the fuck is it? What? Anyways. Where is it? If you had long hair hair you should grow out your hair but if you had long hair you would understand you'd be like you'd be walking then you'd be like where is it where is it where is it where is the hair my hair at one point it's in my asshole my hair at one point

was almost as long as yours what shut when i was a teenager. That's so cool. It was pretty long for a bit. It sucked though. It didn't look good. No matter what I did, it would part fully down the middle and I looked like

Prince Charming and it would like flip up at the end. It was insane. Like Lord Farquaad? It was, not Lord Farquaad. It was more like

the Prince Charming type of hair. But if you cut it like this, hear me out. Backstreet Boys. Don't know why I'm listening to Backstreet Boys right now. But if you cut it like this, like Nick Carter. Okay. Okay?

You're saying I should get the Nick Carter haircut? Yeah. No. Okay. I would get made fun of. What? By who? Everyone.

Good. I can already tell Brennan over there is just like, oh, that would be awesome. He'd make fun of me every day. No, it would look so great. Hey, the 90s are coming back. NSYNC is getting back together. Are they officially getting back together? Yes.

Holy shit. They called me. And they were like, hey, we want you to announce it on Smosh Mouth. And I was like, guys. I saw it. Well, no, I saw a TikTok with all of them last night. Yeah. Okay.

So this is real. This is real. Holy shit. This is real news. So I'm pitching. Sorry. Sorry. No, I saw you're saying Backstreet Boys.

I. No, I'm saying NSYNC. Okay. NSYNC. Didn't I say NSYNC? Okay. Yeah. I got confused because Backstreet Boys has been together.

Yeah, they've been together. They're doing the Vegas thing. Yeah, I got confused. Because Backstreet Boys have been together. Yeah, they've been together. They're doing the Vegas thing. Yeah, we're fine. Fuck them. Yeah. NSYNC, though. Pretty sick. Yeah.

NSYNC. Anyways. Anyways. So this podcast, pretty awesome. Yes. Pretty cool. Has it changed how you listen to other podcasts? Oh, yeah.

I feel like now I'm listening to podcasts with like, ooh, I like what they're doing there. And ooh, I don't like what they're doing there. Because, OK, Oprah, I love her. I love her. OK, Oprah. I love her. Our first beef with Oprah.

Yeah, beef, good. Yeah. Oprah, if you are listening, and if we do a beef episode, I just want to do a little beef with other podcast hosts. But Oprah, I listen to her podcast all the time. But she interrupts her guests all the time. Really? Oh, all the time.

They'll be in the middle of something so beautiful. It'll be like Deepak. And she's like, so Deepak. Anyway, so wait, wait, it's not even like talking about what they're talking about. Well,

she'll interrupt with, oh, and I was, I was going for a walk and I thought I need to be present right now. And so I got really, really present. And I was like, oh,

this is me being present. And I wasn't even upset about the thing. And I'm like, Oprah, girl, let's just go back to Deepak. I don't know what it is. She just interrupts all the time.

That's so funny. I love her. Yeah. But she interrupts her. So when I listen to other podcasts, I'm thinking, oh, I don't want to do that. Dude, Oprah in hindsight is so funny to me sometimes. There's something that's been stuck in my head. Let me say this really quick and then we can move on to other podcasts.

But I remember, do you remember when the big, this is like 15 years ago, when The Secret was big? Yes. Bro. And Oprah was at the head of the charge of The Secret where it's anything you think of, you will get. Which is an insane thing to think about nowadays like it fit dude for 2006

that fit so well people were like have you read the secret and it works if you think about something you'll get it and I'm like what is the secret

they can't tell you the demo that loved it though was like very clearly like yeah because you got everything she had this one thing she talked about that i i cannot get out of my head and i look back i'm like this is so funny where she was like yeah you know and they were talking someone was saying something like yeah and there's

a certain level of like energy and if the more powerful it is the more like it'll be brought back and oprah oprah was like yeah you, it had me thinking about the other day. I was thinking about bubbles. And I just was thinking about bubbles a whole bunch. And then I went to my office after we were done filming. And on my desk was a little bubble maker, a Tiffany and Company bubble maker. And she's like, and it's just, I don't know how it got there, whatever.

I'm like, Oprah, you probably said, oh, I love bubbles. And one of your assistants was like, quickly, we need bubbles.

We need to get her bubbles. And they fucking went to Tiffany's and they fucking melted that shit and made it in the couple hours. No, Oprah, you didn't manifest that. You're a billionaire

and you have all the power in the world. This is why I love Oprah because she's like, I was traveling the alps i was in the swiss alps and i thought how do i stay present how do i stay present and i ordered caviar and this delicious wine and i was in my garb and how do i stay present and i thought i stay present by going down the slopes in the Swiss Alps, and there were bears. And it's just like, Oprah, you have a yacht with a helicopter on it. I don't know, but you have the secret.

That's why I love Oprah, because she consistently interrupts with her Tiffany Co. And then there was this gorgeous gold-plated tiffany co bubble maker she she dude she had her demo by the fucking balls like this she she knew exactly what to say all the time just lean the fuck in to whatever whimsical story is on. And it's always about traveling the world. When I was in France, I'm like, Oprah. 2006 to 2012, I think was when that whole like, bro, it was so bad of just,

people need to get out of their life and they need to travel the world. They need to just get out there and go. The reality that we're in nowadays, the way that that dialogue has changed so oh my god but people don't do that where people are like yeah you know i can't afford that yeah but back in the day it was all the people who couldn't afford it just didn't have the ability to talk about it because we didn't have social media yet so the only people you heard shit from were the super, super rich people.

Super rich. People just need to quit their job and they need to go to Mykonos. Take the leap. Take the leap. And go to the Maldives. Go to the Maldives. Take the leap and go to India. You know what?

The money will happen. The money will happen. If you manifest money, it will come. It will appear. In a Tiffany box and gold. Bro, that's what it was. It was insane. And now podcasts are about home.

It's like you can do everything in your home. You can do everything in your home. And it's all in you. And it's like, okay, this is clearly the time. So you listen to Oprah. Who else do you listen to? Brene Brown. Who's Brene Brown?

Brene Brown, Atlas of the Heart. I don't think I know this. You don't? She's kind of a bit Southern. That's not her accent at all. No, no, no. No. Where is she from?

Houston. Houston? She's from Texas. I'm from Houston! She's a Texas girl. But she's blonde. She did a TED talk about vulnerability

cool and it was so good years ago and all the comments were body shaming her oh which was awful so you know what

she came out with like another book about dare to lead and she she's amazing and she has amazing people on her podcast

that's awesome and but she also likes to interrupt people. Fuck, what is it about me and interrupting? But hers are more less about India and traveling. Hers are more like, what can you do now? Hers are more relational, like relationships. Atlas of the Heart is a new book about how words matter,

how they hold meaning, like saying you're overwhelmed versus stressed. And she also has an HBO show about Atlas of the Heart. I love her because hers is very literary. Hers is very what you say, words, relationship. And she likes to interrupt people with words. She likes to interrupt people with words all the time. There you go. But I'm like, Brene, let them talk.

Let them talk, Brene. Let them talk. But I just like the way she's like, oh, my husband. That's not her accent. I need to stop. But she does have a bit of a southern drawl. Okay. But I love her.

She's amazing. So Oprah, Brene Brown. Oprah, Brene Brown. I think we're getting a little bit of a trend. Esther Perel. Esther Perel. And you recommended it and I listened to it. And it is pretty great.

As someone who loves psychology, it's fucking awesome. Exactly. I think that's what it's always about for me. Yeah. For those, it's where should we begin with Esther Perel where she has, they're anonymous. They're anonymous. But she has a couple on every episode to do a single – She's a relationship therapist.

Single session of couples therapy. She's a sex therapist technically. Yeah, and it's intense. Some of it's intense. Some of it's not. But some of these couples are really in shambles and to hear them just blaming each other for a whole hour. What you need is you need to talk to each other. You hear them just blaming each other for a whole hour. What you need, what you need is you need to talk to each other.

You need to listen to each other. What you need to do is listen. You're not having enough sex. You need to touch. And she'll like, I just love the way she talks. She's amazingly insightful and she cuts through all the bullshit. Oh my God.

It's so great when you have an episode of that show where a guy, someone's like, and she's not showing me any appreciation. Now, when you say that, I want you to hear the way that you're saying that. Exactly. No, say it in your own words. Yes. What you need from her is you're saying, hey, I need your respect. I need your communication. I need your company. She's like, hey, I need your respect. I need your communication. I need your company.

He's like, Michelle, I need your company. Say it in your own words. Yes, exactly. It's so fun. And then it's like,

and it's just so, so there's a game too. There's a game. Oh, you told me. Where should we begin? You told me. And I got it as a wedding gift.

Oh, shit. And then they got divorced. They got divorced within the week. They got divorced immediately. No, we took it on our mini moon, me and i got it as a wedding gift oh shit and then they got divorced they got divorced immediately no we took it on our mini moon me and h on our wedding gift and we were reading them and they're very like they're very like vulnerable questions but they're all like touch and like sex face and we were reading it by a pool and i'm not kidding this old man vet he had a fucking like World War II cap he was in a hot tub

he inched closer the whole day as we were reading these cards. He was like you mind if I pull one of those cards right there? He was like in the hot tub like kind of looking at us and we were like so name your first crazy sex experience and I swear to God

He's like probably back in the war By the time? Sorry to butt in but uh yeah crazy sex experience. And I swear to God. He's like, probably back in the war. By the time? Sorry to butt in, but yeah. It was a war, 1942. Battle of the Bulge, if you know what I mean.

So good. So good. Honestly, we should bring, maybe we should bring these cards on the podcast. But H and I were reading them

and I swear to God by the time we were done he was out of the hot tub he had found a chair and he was sitting directly behind us just like just so into it

mouth agape he was stoked for you guys' marriage so that's your Perel see okay those are my those are my main podcasts okay so

plus daylight i love i love the vibe that we get from yours because the podcast that i listen to oh god and i go in and out of phases i go through a music phase where i'm just listening to music i go through phases where i'm listening to podcasts non-stop yeah uh i mostly listen to podcasts when i'm working out uh it's just just You don't listen to music when you work out. I do listen to music when I work out. But sometimes I'm just like, there's no good music. Do you ever have that happen where you're just like, there's none. I ran out.

I fucking ran out of music. I'm re-listening to Backstreet Boys right now. Okay? This is where I'm at. Yeah, and Spotify is like, here's a playlist. I'm like, this sucks. You suck. You do not know me.

It's like, you listened to a soundtrack of a movie five years ago. Here's all of it. Garden State soundtrack. I'm like, I don't want this. So the podcast that I listen to, when I listen to podcasts, I wrote down a few of them. I'd probably say my favorite podcast is this one called Hardcore History. And it's this one dude, this one guy. He's a huge history buff.

And Carlin, what's his name? What's his name? Does anyone know? George Carlin. What is it? Dan Carlin. So Hardcore History is probably my favorite. It's hosted by this guy named Dan Carlin.

He's just this, he sounds insane is what's great. And his episodes, he posts like one episode a year. What? But they're like five to eight hours long of him just talking. And he does deep dives into historical events so he'll be talking about an 8 hour episode all about Julius Caesar's conquests in the British islands and here's how he talks

this is how the whole thing, there's no music here's him, he's just like now here's the thing about the Romans the Romans had organization and they were fighting barbarians people who they fought only with their hearts and their minds. They weren't thinking. What?

So the Romans would show up, they're centurions, and the barbarians had no means of understanding combat in this new modern way. It's so awesome. There's no music? There's no music. It's just that for eight hours. Okay, this- It's awesome. This satisfies the TikTok trend of why are men-

How much do men think about the Roman Empire? Oh, bro. How- Okay. Much do men think about the Roman Empire? I know this trend might be over by this point, but go ahead and ask me. Okay. Shane, how much do you think about the Roman Empire?

Realistically, I know it comes up into my head at least once a once a week but i will say this i will say this i think this is what's strange because women are talking women are talking about what is their version of it women women have been talking and i saw women talking i saw i saw one i saw one one i saw one woman on t TikTok say, what is the woman equivalent? And it's murder. I'm like, yeah. But I also think, strangely, the woman equivalent is ancient Greece. Yes.

Yeah. It is. For dudes, it's Rome. It's Greek mythology. It's Greek mythology. But see, I think of Greek mythology and Greek history more than Roman history. Roman history is dope, and I do love it, and I definitely have read a lot about it. But Greek mythology and Greek history is so sick to me.

That is so true. Actually, I didn't think about that. Murder, for sure. It's definitely murder. I think Greek mythology, because there's a lot of sex, a lot of passion, and a lot of magical, witchy, mystical things. It's a little more, yeah, it's a little more, and it's probably more the mythological side. But you have plays. There's a lot more emotion.

There's more emotion, whereas I ask. Roman history is very just like. I asked my husband, I was like, how much do you think about it? He's like, I don't know, I was like, how much do you think about it? He's like, oh, twice a month, three times a month. I'm like, he watches history shows, but he also is from a different country,

so he knows a lot of different history. Yeah, so Rome isn't interesting. Like Mesopotamia. Oh, I love Mesopotamia. I love ancient history. I'm not actually, I'm not a huge history buff when it comes to like

the 20th century, like World War II and stuff. I find ancient history. I'm not actually, I'm not a huge history buff when it comes to like the 20th century, like World War II and stuff. I find it fascinating. It gets old school. I like all history, but I love ancient history. I love. I wonder why men, or maybe it's not just men. Why, what's the biggest like theme in ancient history that is it like about you know i think i think no i think well i i can't speak on it fully i can't speak for all men but i think for a lot of it is right now

men are in this very um the manosphere and the grind set mindset of so many dudes is very much like you just gotta like not not like any any feeling bad any whatever you just gotta just gotta get up and you gotta go and you just gotta do it and it's a very like stoicism is almost like coming back for men and which is greek but um i think ancient rome was very much like it's this brutal thing and it's just you just gotta forget your emotions and just go and and it's all about but it's a little bit about craftsmanship and strategy. It's just, I just think it's- Is Napoleon from ancient?

What? No, Napoleon's French. Great. 18th, 18th. Very cool. Napoleon is 1800s France. Clearly I think about it all the time. I can tell you about Aphrodite, Hermes,

and Helios, the god of the sun. But give me Napoleon? Fuck. Love that Roman guy. Joaquin Phoenix is playing Napoleon in a new movie coming out. And I was like, God, ancient Rome. It's confusing because he was also an ancient Roman emperor in Gladiator. Okay, great.

He was also Caligula, I think. That was a rough role for him. I hated him. He really played Caligula, I think. Oh, he was. That was a rough role for him. I hated him. He really played the fuck out of that one. He always has like shouting. He's like, daddy doesn't love me. Russell Crowe, hot. Yeah.

He's still hot. One of Anthony Padilla's favorite movies. Seriously? Gladiator. Home Alone. Home Alone 2. Oh, hell no. Those are Anthony's three favorites. He doesn't eat his mac and Alone. Home Alone 2. Oh, hell no. Those are Anthony's three favorites. He doesn't eat his mac

and cheese in Home Alone 2 and I hate it. I hate it so much. Okay, so I said Hardcore History. Hardcore History. Let me get these others out. Yeah. The other one I listened to. Another thing about Shane and I is we derail often. Oh. So we have to try to focus ourselves. We derail so much on this show. I have

seen comments where people are like, please don't stop derailing. I love it. Oh, really? Okay. They love that we talk about something new every 20 seconds. Oh, my God. No. It's so hard to find clips.

Okay. Yeah. We'll get to that. That's the last thing we'll talk about. Basement Yard. Have you ever heard of Basement Yard? No. You would actually love Basement Yard.

Really? So it's these two East Coast dudes. Oh, party in. They've been friends since they were in like elementary school basement yard it's called basement yard and it's just the two of them talking they talk about literally nothing i i mean literally they'll just be hanging out and my favorite thing about it is that every conversation is just the two of them giving each other shit and it sounds so east East Coast. I love it. So, for instance, this is how every episode goes. Listen to two

minutes and this will happen. One of them will be like, hey, what's your favorite kind of sandwich to have just on a day off? Probably like peanut butter and jelly. What are you, a baby? Why would you say a peanut butter and jelly? What's wrong with a peanut butter and jelly? It's only babies eat peanut butter and jelly. You

asked me what my favorite sandwich is and I said peanut butter and jelly answer like answer like an adult sandwich okay fine prosciutto and

oh don't say prosciutto what what is that what is that no that's every episode of basement yard I'm already in because that is my

literal life I'm gonna have rosé except with sisters I'm gonna have rosé why are you having rosé I don't know it gives you it gives me such awful heartburn well you haven't had this rosé except with sisters. I'm going to have rosé. Why are you having rosé? I don't know. It gives me such awful heartburn. Well, you haven't had this rosé. Well, let me try it.

Well, this is a really expensive bottle. Okay, well, let me try it. Why are you being kind of a bitch right now? Dude, it couldn't be so much further than my life experience just living in the southwest United States. You want to try that? Peanut butter and jelly? Good for you. All right.

Okay. That is so hilarious. Because, ugh. Yeah. Basement yard. It's super funny. I will listen. And then one of the- How old are they?

They're probably relatively around our age. Okay, cool. They're late 20s, early 30s. Great age. But they are, I mean, dude, every clip is that. Every clip is one of them saying something, and the other one telling them it's stupid. I love it. That's every conversation that they have.

Sometimes people need to just be taken down a notch. And people on the East Coast do it every sentence. They do it every five seconds. Every chance they get. And then lastly, the one that I haven't listened to it a bunch lately, but I was listening to it constantly. And so much so that they surprised me with this person on Try Not to Laugh 100. But Therapy Gekko. Oh.

I fucking love that. Also, I love that dude. Oh, he was so, he is that guy. He is. We saw him in Austin, right? Didn't we see him? I think we did. Yeah, We saw him in Austin, right? Didn't we see him? I think we did. Yeah, we saw him in Austin.

So he just is such a listener. You've never met someone who is listening and observing you as intently as him. And he's so kind and so open. Yeah. But I love that show because my favorite moment from that show is he had someone prank call him they called just to be like yeah i'm having this issue and uh yeah the the thing is and he said some dumb thing like yeah and uh balls balls balls dick dick dick and says that and then therapy echo doesn't hang up he just sits there and then he's like so um what do we do now and the guy was

like i i uh i don't that's all i had planned like why so why did you say that and then the guy's like i don't know i guess i've just been bored lately it's so it's so good he's a perfect therapist so he's so good at it and obviously he's not a real therapist, but he's just a dude who's... He's a person. He's a people's therapist. He's just a great listener. Just a great listener. Great. I love him.

And every time you see him, he still has green paint somewhere on his face. Oh, yes. He always has a little remnant of it. He's because he's always in it. But those are the main ones that I listen to. I listen to NPR and news. I do like NPR a lot.

But those are the ones that I want to be entertained. I listen to NPR and news. I do like NPR a lot. But those are the ones that I want to be entertained. I listen to those. And I've listened to a lot of other YouTubers have really great podcasts. Ted has his. There's a bunch. There's a lot of those as well that I try to listen to on occasion. But you haven't lived unless you listen to NBC Dateline. Yeah. The only thing about NBC Dateline. Yeah.

The only thing about NBC Dateline is it's not a real podcast. All they did was take the audio from the shelf and just put it, put it on podcast. Cause they'd be like, and as you see right here, this man is walking and you're like, I can't see. And then it'll be like clips from the interrogation and you can't hear a word

they're saying. But when you're watching it, there's the the they write the dialogue and i'd be like yeah and i went in so hard and you're listening to the podcast you're just like and that was the wildest thing we'd ever heard and you're like finally keith morrison and he finally revealed what he was trying to say and you're like you're listening in the car what's what's happening but i don't stop i do not stop listening to dateline and you know who does it too angela oh i know i we are we both will be like hey did you hear that episode about a summer solstice she's like oh my my God. Wild. We listened to it, and it's just,

and Keith Morrison's like, wow, really? Wow. And there's really weird music, and it'd be like, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, and I'd be like, weird sound clips that probably go with visuals. It's just great. We have Angela next week. I know.

And I'm very excited for that. So I'll give you guys the inside scoop. We're doing Try Not to Laugh, the podcast. Oh my God. Where for an hour or more, we cannot laugh. And if you laugh, you get a mark. We're going to keep tally of it. Whoever laughs the least amount is going to get a $20 gift card. To their choice laugh, you get a mark. We're going to keep tally of it.

Whoever laughs the least amount is going to get a $20 gift card to their choice. A place of their choosing. It's going to be insane. It's going to be insane. I'm prepping stuff for it. Oh, I have stories. I'm prepping a lot. I have stories for days. And then...

I'm really excited. We've got a few more minutes to talk. Yeah, didn't we have... So we wanted to pitch. I think we should pitch some future episode ideas. Agreed. But also an idea I want to start doing on this show. Oh yeah.

Very, very jazzed about. Oh yeah. So we post a YouTube short from this show every episode. We try to find something like what was the best moment. We put that up on YouTube shorts. We also throw some up on TikTok, on the Smosh TikTok. I would love to start staging some of them. Yes, please.

Just fully out of context. We just set it up. We tell a frigging lie. Nothing damaging, nothing bad. No, no, no. But just something silly where people go, oh my God, what? What? And I want to see who's actually watching the episodes

and who's just watching the short. Yes. So I thought of one. We can stage it right here. I want to stage it. I want to stage this. I had this idea of what if when I joined Smosh, nowadays we're good,

but what if when I joined Smosh, Ian and I didn't like each other? Oh, I love that. What if we had a hard time working with each other? Which is not true. And over time we worked it out and we're better, but back in the day we beefed. And we all noticed. Not true at all. Not true at all. Oh, I we go. Yeah, it's something people don't realize is that when I joined Smosh, Ian and I did not get along at all. No way. Not at all.

Yeah, I don't know. We just had very creative differences. Anytime I pitched an idea, he would always shoot it down and we'd get into arguments. And it would get personal. We would insult each other. We oftentimes could not be in the same room together. No. Yeah. You know what's crazy is when I joined, I always felt like when you walked into a room, I felt like he was just like always walked out, like kind of avoided you. It lasted for years. No. It lasted for years. And I would say only recently has it gotten a little better. But, you know, it's just tough.

And it shows you that on camera we can really play it up. Yeah. Because we're professionals. Yeah, you guys seem really good on camera. Yeah. But, yeah, it's just an ongoing thing and people don't realize. So he, like, doesn't like you at all? I would say probably.

We are neutral to each other nowadays, but it used to be full on, I would say, hate relationship. Oh my God. Like full on arguments in the office. That's so awkward. Yeah. I guess we can't have him on the podcast.

Guess not. You can't laugh. We the podcast. Guess not. You can't laugh. We'll cut some part of that. We'll cut some part of that. I think just like 15 to 20 seconds of that. Oh my God, I know. He's gonna go, you guys

can't do that. You guys can't do that. He always laughs when he knows you shouldn't be doing something. You guys can't do that. I'm trying to think, is there another one that we could do that's not as insane? We can't say. Okay. What if I say that I was almost cast as a lead in Victorious?

Or no, I was almost cast as Freddie Benson in iCarly. Oh, do it. Okay. Okay. Okay, you're fucked. Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. You know, people don't, something I've never really talked about

because it's a little, sorry, let me start over. Let me try to think of how to say this. Chill out. Okay, okay. Something I don't talk about much is that I was runner up

to play Freddie Benson in iCarly yeah no I auditioned I got the callback I got a second

callback I was in the room with Miranda and we're I was reading it I felt really good about it and then

they ultimately decided that I wasn't the right look. Really? But that's why in season one they brought me back for that guest starring episode. Because they really liked me and they wanted to find a place for me on the show. But it was just the one episode. But things could have been really different had I been. You might not have been here. I probably wouldn't have been here.

We would have never probably met. I know. I would have been Freddie Benson. Whoa. Yeah. That's insane. That's Hollywood. That's how it goes.

Man. Yeah. I'm so sorry. It's all right. I'm so sorry that you have to be here now. Okay, that's a good one. That's a good one. That's a good one.

That might get a hit. Because it looks like we're kind of like, Okay, that's a good one. That's a good one. That's a good one. That might get a hit. Because it looks like we're kind of like, okay, well, I guess we should end the podcast. I wonder if, let us know in the comments if this upsets you. Because I feel- We can't do a fake one where it's like we're leaving or someone's getting fired.

No, no, no, no. I don't want it to be anything bad. And I want it to be that if you watch the podcast, you then know that this is the thing we do. So this is only for the people who aren't actually watching watching yeah let us know if this upsets you um and we'll stop and let us know what podcast you listen to or if you listen to the podcast that we mentioned and what you thought about it and if you think interrupts let us know in the comments if Oprah has ever interrupted you.
