Oh, it's a new year. Welcome to Smosh Mouth. I'm Shane.
And I'm Amanda. And we are so excited for the new year. We want to share our predictions and our resolutions for 2024.
And we have a very special guest, Courtney Miller.
Hello.
I am a Courtney.
Thanks for joining us on our first episode of 2024.
Wow. I honestly, truly honored because I was on the first episode period.
That's true.
And I was on the first episode of the new year.
Wait.
That's true. We didn't even plan that. episode of the new year. Wait. That's true.
We didn't even plan that.
We didn't even think about that.
Am I your good luck charm?
Kat, you're our rabbit's foot.
Okay.
You guys know what I'm talking about?
Foot freak.
You guys know what I'm talking about?
How did you guys feel about your 2023s?
Oh, big, big changes.
Yeah, dude.
Growth.
2023 was epic. It was. Growth. 2023 was epic.
Honestly.
It was, man.
It was epic.
And I think my word for 2023, like when I said it in 2022, was, what was it?
I think it was boundaries or whatever or something like that, which has been.
Because we talked about this with Chance a couple weeks ago.
I wonder if I can find my New Year's resolutions from last year in my notes app.
Is that okay?
Do it.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
Amanda, did you have resolutions this past year?
Do you do resolutions?
I do, but sometimes they kind of like...
I think I naturally do resolutions every year.
I think they're fun.
I don't think there's something...
I do resolutions, but I also am always
trying to like
plan goals
I think my resolutions
are always about
getting healthy
which is like
gets boring
it's like when people
are like
what are you going to
give up for Lent
I always gave up
something that I didn't
care about
which is just bad
yeah
but I think
I think my resolution
oh I know
my resolution was
definitely more of
like the mind
like it was more like
boundaries and also let go, be more playful.
But yeah, it was definitely also about getting fit, which I just give myself every year.
Yeah, you've been looking great.
Thanks, guys.
I guess mission accomplished.
Thanks, guys.
You know what?
Actually, I did have a resolution.
It was get really serious about Muay Thaiai you are serious about muay thai i started i started in
2022 in october and i got really serious it's been over a year that i've been doing muay thai
you got so serious you hurt your back i literally hurt my back so bad i blew up my back this summer but i i i've been going like four times a week holy crap
and now i've gotten to a point where i used to like die during a muay thai session now i'm like
all right let's go let's let's go and i've kind of like have this like fitness point
but um yeah it's really been it's really proven itself because we were out the other day,
and I saw a burglar tried to steal someone's purse,
and you beat the shit out of them.
Yeah, they are in the hospital.
Sorry.
But literally, my leg is a weapon.
That's awesome.
I love it.
It's just like your D&D character.
Yes.
That's so true.
You became Dolores.
Oh, my God.
Bravo.
Dolores. Yeah, you did. Bravo. Yeah, you did.
Did you have resolutions?
I do.
I remember I couldn't find the list, but I remember beginning of 2023,
I didn't want to make resolutions that I needed to check off or, like,
be religious to because I feel like I can be hard on myself.
So this year I think I was like, okay, like,
let's try to not be on our
phone as much and and like there was other ones that was like hey like set boundaries for yourself
similar to that and like um I think it was like slow down a little bit it was probably one of the
things of like slow down when it comes to down this year um no well work-wise no did not slow
down but I think I've slowed down in terms of getting to know people.
And I think I am still on my phone a lot,
but I think I'm on my phone way less than I used to be.
I do have phases where I'm just on it.
But I feel like I'm on it and doing more productive things,
like editing and stuff.
But you've been more present this year, I think.
I think this year, if you were trying to slow down with people, you definitely have been.
Like, I feel like you've been more present.
You've been having like more like connected conversations at work, which is very hard
to do because we're running around doing a million things.
Yeah.
So I feel like you were successful in that.
Yeah.
I think something I learned this year was, was you know everything moves so fast and everybody used to be like life's life's short life's short
but like the way the speed that the world's the world's moving right now like life is long
and like sometimes you need to think about how long life is and and kind of plan and think about
things more in that way than like the way that the internet and other parts of the world
teach us to be is like, buy it now, do it now,
go there now, do everything right now.
Yes.
So yeah, slowing down, being more present.
I'm sure that was probably written in a journal somewhere.
I wish I had found my journal.
Taking some time, yeah.
It has like, be present, probably like up my game
of clothing, which I think it's like which you always
have i love i love i love finding new inspiration for for clothes and stuff but sometimes i get in
those slumps where i'm like i have no idea what to wear ever i wish that could just be like a
floating ball of energy that conveys uh making you laugh and also making you horny you know
like that's okay that's what I wish I could just convey.
So it's like be hot, be funny.
You are conveying it.
You are.
And we all need a clueless closet, right?
Clueless closet.
All need to go and be like, my outfit.
I'm my outfit.
What about you?
Shane?
Well, people know.
So I had a, doing the splits wasn't technically a resolution
okay it wasn't technically a resolution it was something that i was like i'm gonna do this and
it has become a joke uh over the years of like i'm gonna do the splits this year and there was
always a part of me that was serious about it and 2023 i was the most serious. I was like, I'm going to finally freaking do this. And I talked about this at length months ago.
But I really, really dedicated myself to it for months.
And it was around summer where it kind of started to break down.
I also hit a wall where I just wasn't making progress despite stretching every day.
Yeah, because you were trying to become more flexible while also building significant muscle mass. So there was just more to stretch every day. Yeah, because you were like, you were trying to become more flexible while also building like significant muscle mass.
So there was just more to stretch every day.
Too much, too much at once.
I had to pick a fitness goal.
But I think this year, look, is it a resolution maybe?
We'll see.
I don't know.
But I didn't succeed at that.
Now, what my main resolution was, was like lists.
Was like, okay, I'm going to make a to-do list for tomorrow.
And like every day, I'm going to make a to-do list for the next day.
Because I'm a very forgetful person.
I can be very easily distracted.
Yeah, I have good memory.
I did not know that.
I have bad memory as far as like
remembering what i need to get done that day uh i will lose track because i and also there's just a
lot of things are thrown at us you know i'll show up to work and i'll be like i know what i need to
get done but then we just constantly have things pop up it's like oh wait we need to do this now
and oh we just said this just came in and uh when we're filming and stuff like after i do a try not
to laugh my brain is fried for the
rest of the day uh so i need a list to like keep track and i also feel so good when you're marking
stuff off a list yes it feels great and so i was trying to make like daily and weekly kind of
planning out i think planning was a big resolution of mine and to be honest i think i you know you
shoot for the for the stars you hit the moon kind of situation where I'm like, am I doing it to the level I want to? No. But I am so good to like, I am a person who needs to mentally adjust or mentally prepare for things.
So having a planner and then having a list, like every day I start the day with writing the date and a to do at the top of a paper and writing a bunch of stuff and writing a little circle to, and it feels so good to cross them off.
And sometimes I'll write things that I already did and then cross them off because it's like I did that though
I need to remember I am productive
I love lists
my whole life is a color
coded Google calendar
my Google calendar is color coded
specifically to what I'm doing
because if I have so
usually have so much going on in the day
that if I don't like
color code it then I'm like then it's all the color blue and I'm like I don't like color code it, then I'm like,
then it's all the color blue.
And I'm like,
I don't even know what this day is.
I even have to write down like hangouts,
which is,
which is,
I agree.
But also when I busy.
Yeah.
And,
and when I was planning our wedding,
uh,
to you guys,
when I was planning our wedding,
me and my husband,
when I was planning our wedding, and my husband when I was planning our wedding
we I had a huge calendar a huge so I was so stressed about planning the wedding but I also
loved it my sister was like get a big ass calendar that's a booklet so I got a big red calendar and I
was like here we go and it had the months and I was able to put
down everything that I need to get done that month otherwise I sat there for six months being like
there's way too much to do yeah so I just like organized it by month and that was really helpful
so I think if I ever had another big project like that wedding um I I would get one that I can see that I can write down.
Because the only thing with the phone
is when you go look at your phone.
Then you start looking at other stuff.
Then you start looking at Instagram.
I am the same way.
I love to write things out.
I need a physical thing that I can hold
where I'm like, here it is.
I also think the act of writing it out
retains it in my memory better
as opposed to typing something on my phone.
I don't know.
It just doesn't work the same for me.
Yeah, because we be shit posting.
And sometimes we just tweet a tweet and not even think about it.
And it's just out.
And so then the same kind of consciousness can happen when writing.
I have started doing this thing where we have Slack, this messaging platform for everyone on here at IM.
And I Slack myself. this thing where we have slack this like messaging platform for everyone on here to i am and like i i slack myself if i don't have a notebook with me i have to slack myself so that i have like a list
of stuff to do but even that is like it just feels like it disappears well it disappears because
there's so many other things that are happening on your phone that if you have it if you have it
on your desk like in a booklet and you open it then it's then it's i don't know why it's old school it's meditative almost you're writing it down and you're actually crossing it
out yeah um another one of mine that i i did okay with was every year i i noticed i have a lot of
resolutions that are huge and it's like every year it was like this big thing like i'm gonna do this
i'm gonna write a book i'm gonna do it's like huge right and it was always like huge huge things that of course i don't achieve because
just this what is that what is that um so this year was very much kind of like like coming down
to earth a little bit and making things small and picking things apart and being like yeah i can't
do the splits but i can stretch for 30 minutes a day.
I can't write a book, but what if I challenge myself to write for 10 minutes a day?
Right, break it down.
And just like small asks, and then once you're able to achieve those,
then you can ask a little bit more of yourself maybe.
But doing a little bit every day is probably going to go a lot farther
than demanding a ton of yourself
in an instance um i like i find myself not making big resolutions because i just it's
for me lists also can get really stressful because if i have lists on my desk then i'm like
i didn't succeed the day because that list isn't done.
Sometimes I'll need lists like for like Christmas gifts or whatever, but sometimes lists will
make me feel like I'm stepping back rather than just doing the day.
You don't want them to like be an option for catastrophizing, right?
Of like you not succeeding, right?
I like that word.
Yeah.
Well, it's like setting goals for yourself is great.
But if you don't succeed at it, you can't let that become then a negative impact on your life.
It's got to be kind of like, okay, here's the things I'm going for.
It's all right if I don't do it.
It's a vibe.
Sorry, go.
Continue.
Finish the thought.
Sorry.
Yeah.
And that's why like kind of more daily resolutions that it's like, oh, I haven't been doing this.
I can pick it back up and keep going.
Yeah.
As opposed to, well, I failed and it's a failure and I'm done.
And I'm done forever.
No, no.
It's just like, I think it's less of like this thing I need to achieve and more of like what direction do you want the current of your life to go and like setting that that direction that's like all right
i might mess it up or i might i might fall off for a second but i just get back on that current
and start going yeah i used to when i was younger like really young i used to be obsessed with new
years like we have these videos on smosh pit where we read my old diary entries and there was a bunch
that were like new year's resolutions where i just loved it was my own chance to like start over and I think it probably comes from like growing up
Mormon and when like you're baptized you start fresh and you start over and you're not and you're
pure and so new school year new year in general like all these things I was obsessed with because
it was like a like a religion where it's like okay no more boys do homework be
organized like super intense and very into it and like a typical teenager where they would fall off
immediately and I feel like I've only in the last few years started to like shake that off of like
okay like it's not a religion that you have to commit to like there's it's a spectrum right
yeah just like hey try no try. No more boys.
No more boys. God,
I did not stick with that.
I don't think I ever gave that
to myself, though. I think I said less boys
or was it just more girls? Less boys.
I loved boys. Less boys.
I don't think I ever gave myself that.
I think definitely one of mine when I was younger was
be nicer to my sisters.
Funny. I never had that. Didn't stick to that that shit i found old resolutions and i'm like no wonder i felt like
shit all the time when i was young like i found one and the resolutions were like a page long and
they were intense so you were a child actor yeah so you can have that expectation like my resolutions
were like you know get on track like actual running track, get on track. Like actual running track.
Oh, get on the track team?
Mine was like, get my life on track.
Yeah, no, mine was like, get on track and learn how to do discus.
Wow, discus?
Discus is so hard, but so fun.
Discus is basically Frisbee with a very thick.
Yeah, big metal guy.
Yeah, it's so hard.
You are a field event person, huh?
The thing is, I wanted to do
more theater. My mom desperately
wanted me to do every single sport.
Of course I did. You have to try out everything.
My mom's like, you have
to learn how to do everything.
That's my mom, 100%.
Discus, it was just like
I didn't enjoy the vibes.
I wanted to be in musical theater.
The vibes of discus are not there.
I wanted to be in musical theater.
I loved hanging out with discus and shot put people on track team.
Because I was also on the track team.
I was a sprinter, pole vaulter.
Whoa.
Yeah, but loved hanging out with the shot put discus people.
Really?
They seemed pretty grounded women.
They were very grounded. Always had better things to do.
But I love that your mom wanted you to try all the things,
probably to help you find what you truly love.
My mom?
Yeah, I think so.
But also-
Well, you knew you loved theater,
but she was like, you're not trying that.
Yeah, exactly.
No, she let me do that.
I used to do musicals all night in an Orpheum theater.
What's an Orpheum?
Orpheum is, we'd have, there were theaters that were around my town that they just call it, like, the Orpheum.
Oh.
I don't know if that's, like, an old school term or something, but I used to take acting classes there and then do musical theaters.
And one of my first musical plays, I was Cat in the Hat.
I'm not even kidding. Are you fucking serious? I I was Cat in the Hat. I'm not even kidding.
Are you fucking serious?
I was actually Cat in the Hat.
Is this your first time?
Are you freaking saying
this is my first time saying that?
You played Cat in the Hat?
I was Cat in the Hat.
That makes it way scarier
that that guy was like,
you're Cat in the Hat.
And in my first musical,
and there was a VHS,
but a Boston Red Sox game
got taped over it.
That is the most East Coast thing I've ever heard in my life.
I can't make this up.
I'm so mad.
Sorry, the Sox were playing.
But it's literally-
I had to record it.
It's literally me because I was the tallest kid there.
So of course I was cat in the hat.
And I'm in this like black leotard.
I think I'm four or five.
But you were six feet tall.
And I'm cat in the hat.
I'm so tall.
And I literally am just like the
one who's helping out and i remember the vhs and i remember it being like did it and then and then
it's fucking boston red sox no freaking way so yeah my mom just wanted me to be in everything
everything which which red sox game was it oh god don't fucking remember. I didn't tape it over.
Better have been important.
Better have been a good one.
Yeah, I didn't tape it over.
But I just, yeah.
My resolutions were just intense.
My mom just like, and even to this day, I'm like, oh, yeah.
I get reminded of my childhood because I went to the spa with my mom.
And I don't like the steam room because it makes me feel like I'm suffocating.
And I was like, I don't like the steam room because it makes me feel like I'm suffocating and I was like I don't like the steam room and she was like okay well you want to just come in and face it and just let's just face the steam room together and then and then you'll be
fine and I was like oh my god this is so nostalgic of my childhood anytime you're like I'm afraid of
that she's like we're gonna do it together we going to do it. And this was last year.
I was like, all right.
And I went in the steam room with my mom.
And she was like, it's OK, right?
It's OK.
And I was like, it is OK.
It's fine.
Was it actually?
It was fine.
But do I go in by myself?
No.
No.
That's so funny.
Well, speaking of that then, what do we have resolutions
for this year?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I wrote some down.
I have some loose ones and I have some like goal, goal ones.
Do you want to start?
Yes, please start.
What do you guys want?
What's best?
You can kick it off if you want.
Okay.
So some general ones is like less phone time, of course, always.
Also, a goal, I would like to direct a music video this year.
Whether it's with Smosh or without Smosh,
or like with a creator friend or something, I will.
I want to direct a music video.
It's something I've like always, always wanted to do.
And it's like one of those like things that when I was younger, you just kind of like tuck away because you're like,
well, that's never going to happen.
And then when our promo trailer came out in November,
Angela was like, you should direct music videos.
And I was like, my dreams.
So true.
But it is real.
Like that project really changed a lot for me.
And like, because for a long time,
my serious artist was really starved um and so because like
i get to do comedy all the time but like the real artistic stylistic stuff i'm like okay more of
that definitely more of that um and then another general one is like i'm i want to be less afraid
of the internet and just like less and just take things not so seriously and like obviously not
saying like like obviously like the world is burning and a lot of things are going wrong in
the world right now but like in my in my zone in my world like I want to take things less seriously
because like so you guys know that I've had really intense stuff happen online, like stalkers and things that really can, like, make being funny and being myself online so, so, so hard.
Yeah, you question everything.
Yeah, every little thing.
And I'm like, I feel unfunny.
I feel every sense of my self-esteem is just low.
And so, like, obviously, you guys make my day better all the time and like
i still some days i'm having a tough day and i'll do something and you guys are just like dying
laughing and i'm like i have no idea like like i'm on my way truly don't know truly don't know
what's funny i don't understand but okay so good it's one of those things i i really relate to that
because you're talking about um catastrophizing like our day to day here.
Because I remember after doing that try not to laugh, you're just like, oh, God, like I didn't feel funny.
Whatever.
I was like, that was great.
That was a great time.
And it sucks when you do something that's awesome, but you didn't get to enjoy doing it.
And, you know, it's like I would rather fail and have a great time doing it than succeed and hate it.
And I found myself with this podcast sometimes,
really being like, God, what are we going to do for this episode?
Just internally.
And then I'm like, this is whatever we want it to be.
This does not need to stress us out at all.
So I get that because we have such a great thing here and great lives
that it's like, man, I want to enjoy it because it's so lucky
i think you guys also have been under the microscope for a while when it comes to like
being watched by viewers whereas like i come from a different place where it's like theater right
it lives and dies on the stage and i have failed and and been successful and failed again where it's like I know that the
the best feeling that I have is internally feeling free whether or not I get the laughs and I think
I didn't always have eyes on me like you guys do like it lives forever on the internet so now that
I'm at Smosh I can see where the pressure is because you can leave feeling like, oh shit, was I funny enough?
Was I blah, blah, blah enough?
But I think what's so funny about I'm on my way
is that it came from a natural place of inspiration
that was naturally you.
Like you didn't plan it.
You didn't question it.
You just did it.
And I think that's what we are all laughing at.
And that's what I laugh at.
And that's why I'm on my way is a forever quote of yours because it naturally came from
a place of like, yeah, this is me.
Right.
And I feel like the more we jump into that, I think the internet is such a scary place but if we just continuously be honest
with what what's happening in this moment staying present which is hard to do it's almost like they
can't touch you can't be touched yeah that's what I feel like you can't be touched that's what's so
special about improv too for me like because I used to watch a lot of improv shows before
Smosh and I did a little bit of it in high school but like the fact that it's almost like magic
happening on the stage that is happening for the first time and never again yep when it's improv
so like totally lives and dies but like it's so crazy that our job is that but then it's preserved
on the internet lives forever and then it's commented on forever. Yeah. So you want to be more fearless.
Yeah, because I feel like for a lot of this job in the past, I was making a lot of decisions and just operating out of fear.
And like that's when I'm if I'm going into, say, recording a Try Not To Laugh episode and I'm afraid of failing, then not great.
But like when I'm going in and I'm like, I love these people and like my biggest joy in life is making the people I love laugh like that's what you want to do and like this is
something that I've felt since like the pandemic specifically which is like I love this job of
course but I also take it really seriously like I take being a comedian very seriously because we
uh and like I'm not just saying this at least on like feeling but like
our audience makes it known all the time like how much we provide an escape and a place to like
forget about everything else and just laugh and like come and have a good time and like
when we're having meet and greets at vidcon or whatever it is like almost half of the people
saying like you got me out of a dark place or you helped me through
this dark time and it's like i i hold that so close to my heart i take it so seriously that i
want to take other things in life not so seriously because that's my like lighthouse or what is it
like my what is it like the beacon or that's my that's my north star. Right. So, yeah.
Because, all right, that's what it's all about.
And we have such a privilege where this is our job.
We get to just be silly goofy.
Sorry, I felt like I needed to be silly goofy in that moment
because we've been talking very seriously.
That was very fearless of you.
Very good.
So fearless.
But we also have to take it seriously because we have a job to do.
We have a job to do here.
We have to.
But I think if I can help in making a fearless change is that our fans want you to also be silly and take it maybe less seriously.
And that's not saying show up late all the time.
But you know what I mean?
I think also what our fans look at
and what I get from them too is that
it allows them to be themselves.
And if we show that we also make mistakes
and we fuck up and sometimes we don't feel funny at all many times but yet we
push through because it is also our job i think that also shows and then it's like oh like i don't
know for me i'd rather watch someone have good days bad days weird days off days yeah than the
perfect day real days real days real days so i think i think you're already fucking doing great
i like that a lot.
I think that's a really good one.
Thanks.
Yeah, it's kind of a chain of reaction.
Yeah.
Because I came out on the Smosh cast.
I've done a lot on this brand, at this brand that I've just been trying to just be me and
normalize me and normalize just being a person and experiencing change in yourself, in your life, and constantly having feedback from our audiences of, like,
you make me feel more confident in just being me.
And, like, our cast, like I said in our previous episode before the funeral,
where it's, like, we just have such a great environment here where, like,
I don't think I'm operating out of fear.
Like, I just feel like we're operating out of fun.
I couldn't agree more.
I love that.
Those are good ones.
Those are good.
Is that all of them?
Those are pretty substantial ones.
Those are the substantial ones.
I'd say I need to eat more greens, probably lick a vegetable or something.
Things like that but like i try not to make it a whole thing yeah you don't want to stress it too much to where it becomes
counterproductive and you almost resist it but i like those a lot yeah because the girls with the
adhd know that when you put like things like that you're just overwhelming. How about I just go away from that?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Understood.
Fair.
I understand that.
Who's next?
Do you want me to go?
Do you want to go?
You go.
Okay.
So I have a couple.
And they're all pretty chill.
I think I'm thinking more fun this year.
I think there's a lot of pressure on this year on our job where we've got a
lot of big things happening.
So I'm like,
okay,
I didn't need to pressure myself to like do more.
There's a lot of things I want to do,
but they're not necessarily resolutions as much as like,
okay,
that would be really fun.
And those are lurking in the background of my mind.
So one fun thing,
and this is something that I want to start doing for the rest of my life.
I,
I bought a new cookbook. yeah oh yeah and uh it's a whole new uh cuisine that i've never made at all and i
don't know anything about i don't know much about you want to guess which one it is yeah what genre
of food lebanese no that's a good that's a good that's a that's a cookbook that i want yeah wait we're not done guessing okay okay
it's tough it's i mean middle eastern no no but i love middle eastern you've you've you've been
done a little bit yeah more mediterranean food was ethiopian no no not in the right region. Okay. Thai.
It is not Thai food, but it's Taiwanese food.
Ooh, Taiwanese food like pine and crane.
Yeah.
Like dumplings and soup. That's very insider.
Yeah, so I bought a cookbook.
It's called Made in Taiwan is the name of the cookbook.
Amazing.
I was looking up.
I'm like, what are some really good cookbooks out right now
and i kept getting served this one uh so i bought it and uh i have never made anything uh like this
before uh i am a big fan of soup dumplings every this this whole year i'm gonna focus on just this
cookbook and uh you know i meal prep and stuff but that's a lot i cook but i but i meal prep so
that's just like cutting up some chicken,
throw it into the oven.
Bam.
I don't,
as far as meals go,
as far as like creatively cooking,
I'm going to go through this book and I'm going to try to make as many recipes from it this year as I can.
And so kind of,
I think almost like I'd say at least I'm going to try to hit,
hit up one recipe from it every week.
Whoa.
Because I love cooking.
Would you ever take pictures of that journey?
Sure.
I could take pictures. Like a picture of your end meal?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Wait, what if you make an Instagram called Shane Tapas?
I love that.
Spanish appetizer made in Taiwan.
But look, if I cook something and I can talk about it, I'll throw a picture up on these episodes.
You better post on your stories.
Okay, okay.
I'll become a food influencer.
All right.
Look, I may have started already.
So you can look up on my Instagram if I'm posting anything.
There's a huge community on TikTok of buff chefs.
Buff chefs?
As long as you don't like this.
There's also those horny dude chefs.
I've missed this.
Oh my God.
Oh yeah,
it's a TikTok thing.
It's a lot.
It's a whole lot.
There's this one chef
on TikTok
who is performing
sexual acts
on bread dough
and cooking things
and just,
you can't tell.
It's a whole lot
and the lighting is
hygienically questionable. It's unsettling lot. The lighting is. It's hygienically questionable.
It's unsettling.
No, look, I love bread.
I don't want the chef or the baker
to fuck the bread as they make it.
You don't want to fuck the bread?
No, I do not need that.
Hey guys, I know you guys have
a bunch of New Year's resolutions.
I know that I do, but I want to focus on them.
And that's where factor meals come into play.
I don't have to go to the grocery store. I don't have to meal prep. They just get delivered right to my front door.

Back to our resolutions.
Yes.
I want to be happy.
But yeah,
so I'm going to go through this whole book. It seems delightful. It seems very challenging. Yes. I want to be happy. But yeah, so I'm going to go
through this whole book.
It seems delightful.
It seems very challenging.
Yeah.
And I think every year
for the rest of my life,
I'm going to buy
a different cookbook
and generally try to pick
a different cuisine or genre
and learn that.
So like, you know,
when I was looking
through all these,
I was like,
okay,
there's like Taiwanese food.
There's a Nigerian cookbook I was looking at.
There's all sorts of things.
And I'm like,
these look really cool.
And I don't know anything about it.
Um,
but I went with Taiwanese and what's fun is living in LA.
There's tons of markets I can go to.
And that's,
so it's going to be a little journey out of it too.
Um,
I have to completely,
uh,
change my pantry. Uh uh i had to buy
a ton of new equipment not a ton of new equipment but some new equipment learn how to use all that
it's gonna be awesome i'm like excited for it it's not a it's not a resolution of like i gotta
get my life on track it's like a resolution of like oh this is gonna be really fun yeah and
rewarding rewarding because then i get to eat it exactly i'd say like that's one of the coolest
hobbies to have or resolutions to have is something like that because it's not just like you're making it
and then it's done like you get to eat that shit yeah yeah i kind of want to steal that
sorry and like look i've been wanting to get like a turkish cookbook because i love turkish food i
love middle eastern food but i've been specifically wanting like a dessert one so
yeah like baklava
so I'm like
I might
steal that shit
you can totally steal it
it's a fun thing
I might steal it
and you're like me right you like to
follow recipes to the T I love following
recipes I am a cookbook chick like I have five amazing And you're like me, right? You like to follow recipes to the T. I love following recipes. I love doing it.
I am a cookbook chick.
Like, I have five amazing cookbooks, but they're all very Americanized, I guess you could say.
And I really, like, I want to do, like, Ethiopian.
Like, I want to, oh.
Yeah.
The further away from it being Americanized, the more fun it is.
Yeah.
Because it's more challenging.
Because it's just different than what I know. Different grocery
stores, too. Yeah.
And it's a thing to take advantage of in LA.
Because every type
of culture is here.
So yeah, I'm really stoked.
I'm going to start doing that.
And yeah, it'll be challenging.
It'll be fun. So that's one of them. That's so good.
I need to just add that to my list,
but yeah, keep going.
Another one,
this is not one that I wrote down,
but another one that I've been thinking about,
and this kind of ties in
and maybe it's just the same thing,
but I think like every week,
having like a little bit of like
artistic project,
like to create something every week,
you know,
kind of like,
it kind of ties in also with like less phone time of like, okay, there's so something every week, you know, kind of like, it kind of ties in
also with like less phone time of like, okay, there's so many things that I enjoy doing,
but you're just not going to do them unless you kind of like plan it out. Like I love drawing and
painting and stuff like that. I never do it. Cause you just kind of, you're just never going to pick
that in the moment. You know what I mean? Like you get home from work or you wake up on a Saturday,
you're going to end up watching TV
or playing video games or something which is
great I love doing all that shit but
it's so fun to take those moments where you're really
like present and like get into
a flow state and create something
so I kind of want to create something
every week just like something small
just be like I'm gonna sketch
I'm gonna do a little draw
I like drawing a lot I just don't end up doing it all the time unless i kind of like make it a
little bit of a time like make the time and make that make the uh choice so i think it's like once
a week like like i said asking not too much like every week once a week i'm gonna just do that for
a little bit i don't need to like complete it but just to take that time and cooking kind of ties in with it.
So,
you know,
if I'm trying to make soup dumplings in a week,
I think that that counts.
That's a creative expression.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
It's more just like,
okay,
I'm going to be present with something once a week and I'm going to really
like,
I love,
I love,
um,
I love craftsmanship.
I love like,
I'm,
I love watching people or hearing about people who really get into creating something.
People who are into pottery and they talk about making pottery.
I'm like, that's so cool because I'm jealous of that state you're in when you're making it.
It's a good hobby.
It's a good hobby to do something that's not for money whatsoever.
Exactly.
It's a special kind of focus.
I remember back when I was a little kid in church,
I couldn't sit still and the teachers hated me.
But as soon as they gave me the back of a church program and a pen
and I'd start drawing a horse, I would zen out.
I think it's really important for everyone to have some sort of craft like that.
It might be music.
It might be writing.
It might be drawing.
Absolutely. But I love that because those are the types of things too, that you can never perfect it,
right? You're always kind of honing it. And I love that. And it's just so meditative and focusing
and you know, it's a lifelong thing that you can kind of always be working on that.
So I think that's a light one. Another
one that I was thinking of, I think this one sounds
really fun. I said these were chill. Yeah, these
are not chill. I think these are chill.
These are fun, but these are
hot. These are like... Shane's version
of chill is different.
Another one, okay, this one
is chill, I think.
By Mount Everest.
So I've talked about how I don don't i'm not like a huge
music person i don't know a ton about music like i like music but i don't like listen to albums
a lot so i i'm not versed in a lot of stuff um i think it and also i've reached a point where my
spotify has been like repetitive for a year and I've,
I'm not hearing new songs cause it's just keeps serving me the same stuff.
If I listened to a new album every week,
I just think that's not,
that's not hard.
I just listen,
I just pick an,
I just pick an album and I'm like,
all right,
I'm listening to that one.
I will say this is,
I love this about you,
Shane,
because I feel like you're like,
I don't know about this.
So I'm going to know about these things and I'm going to make sure that I educate myself about this.
I love that about you.
I love learning new things.
I think this is fucking awesome.
I love learning new things.
I love being like, okay, this is going to be a brand new experience.
It's so cool.
And I need more music.
I need to hear more music.
And so, yeah, just every week i just pick an album and
i could just be anything i could just go to the freaking new releases and just be like oh that
one or or our audiences could recommend some yeah comment down below look and i'll talk about them
here i could talk about them occasionally like an album that i liked recently um so yeah like
it's a lot of creative stuff and just just of, yeah, because I want to kind of.
It's expanding yourself.
Yeah.
Very nice.
I want to really kind of hone my creativity and awaken it and find the joy in it.
I think creatively 2023 was really hard for me.
I found myself creatively struggling a lot.
Just not
having that passion or that spice.
And so this year, it's
more about following desires
and wants.
And then, lastly,
just because it's funny, I'll just
say, I'll do the splits.
I knew you were going to say that.
It's funny.
Realistically,
Your week is going to be packed.
Yeah, dude.
He's busy.
I'm busy all the time.
I will say I overall this year, I have fallen off in recent months a little bit.
But I did stretch more than I have ever stretched.
Like I actually did.
And that's been nice.
I think this year, if I'm being honest about my daily routine, it's going to be less about focusing on the splits and more just like flexibility.
Yeah.
I just, I feel better when I'm doing it.
Yeah, dude, I remember watching you back at Defy walk down the hallway
and you look like you were operated by like ants.
You were just like.
Operated by ants?
What?
You were like a robot operated by ants and they were using you as a vehicle.
Like you were actually, you're not a human. You are a robot operated by ants, and they were using you as a vehicle. You were actually, you're not a human.
You were a body built by ants, and infiltrated by ants,
and the ants use you to be a guy.
Wow.
OK.
Did you just write that down?
Yeah, I just wrote that down.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Shane is operated by ants.
Well, thanks.
Not anymore, though.
Are you a real person?
Yeah.
Keep stretching.
And then, i i stretching and then i just think focusing
on my overall health uh you know 2023 look i i was like i want to i want to bulk up i want to
like gain some weight i want to gain some strength i did all of my for the for those who lift they'll
care about this but uh i i the 1000 club i'm not in the 1000 club i don't think i i'm not power lifting to that
level of trying to lift more 1000 club is if if your squat and your bench and your other thing
deadlift deadlift like add up to it over a thousand jesus lord but i did i did push all of my lifts
far beyond what i'd ever lifted you pr'd PR'd? My strength increased a lot this year.
And that was great.
But now this next year,
I want to focus on like overall health.
I want to feel better than I've ever felt.
And my, you know, my flexibility is still not great.
My balance is bad.
There's a lot of things that I'm like,
okay, I want to be healthier in general.
You know, I'd love if by the time, you know, this is years from now, but by the time I hit 40 that I'm like, wow, I'm in such great shape.
Like I have maintained this and honed this.
And so, yeah, it's a little bit more of that.
That's not as much of a resolution as much as just kind of like a life commitment.
Yep.
But yeah, so the albums, the cookbook, and just kind of little creative projects.
You said weekly.
I think they're weekly things.
Like, I just, because stay committed.
Weekly.
Okay.
Okay, we'll see.
I think it's awesome.
I think also with it being weekly, I can use this podcast to kind of hold myself a little
accountable.
I think it's awesome.
We do sometimes film, just being completely honest with you guys, we do often film like two episodes at a time.
We batch these.
So I can't always like show off a weekly accomplishment
because it wouldn't make sense.
But occasionally I can talk about albums and talk about little projects
and I'll bring stuff in and show it off.
I love it.
So yeah, those are mine.
Amanda.
I'm super proud of you guys.
That's amazing.
Thank you.
Mine, I got some ideas.
Well, I'm totally stealing the cookbook idea.
It's a dude.
Because I've wanted, I really have wanted like a Turkish Middle Eastern cookbook.
So a big Muay Thai one that I want to do is in my gym, your level is your shirt color.
So I'm at white right now, which is still the lowest level, right?
Like a white belt.
Yeah, like a white belt.
And then you have to test.
And every time it's a test, I'm always like, I'm not ready for this.
I'm not ready for this.
So the test is in a week, which I'm not doing.
But my resolution next year is to test with my friend Matt, who we spar together.
I mean this year, right?
This year.
Yeah, this year.
2024.
So for 2024, this year, I want to test and then get a different color shirt.
I think the next color shirt is orange.
So I want to get up on the next level of muay thai which is just you're testing
to do all the combos that you that they have taught you over time so that's definitely one
of them because i muay thai i can't believe i've lived my whole life without it it is the most
amazing thing ever so good for my mental health so good for anxiety like the best cardio i could ever do oh dude any sort of martial art is the
cardio is psych i remember when i first started i thought i was gonna die yeah i couldn't last
10 minutes now i'm doing an hour it's rough and it's insane so that's my goal for next year um also my other goal is to get out of the u.s with my husband we have never
together been able to leave the u.s together and you've been together forever seven and a half
years that's crazy whoa you've never been able to leave the u.s together because of like passports
passport and citizenship and stuff like that and his home country
has been in a war
for
now they've been
I don't even know
three four years
almost
something like that
but definitely
passport situation
so that's
my biggest goal
is to get out of the US
with my husband
and I
really
want to
go on a luxury train
ooh luxury train.
Ooh.
Luxury train. It's basically not affordable.
It's not.
I looked it up.
It's not affordable.
It is a million dollars.
It is a, so there's all these luxury trains.
I've never heard of this.
There's one that's called, a big one that's called the Orient Express.
Oh.
Well, you might get murdered on there.
Yeah, exactly.
Right.
You might get murdered on there.
Those trains, they're all over.
You can go to Prague.
You can go to Istanbul, which also Istanbul is like top of my list where I want to go.
I have heard it's gorgeous.
So these luxury trains, you know, they're like gorgeous rooms.
They have like the special like green velvet like bar cart areas.
Very James Bond.
Very Mission Impossible.
Very sexy. That is my dream i
also i would be happy going on a on a full train trip through india cool so like train so you want
to get on a train in general i love trains you want to be the lady waiting by the train i want
to be the lady waiting by the train and then get there's a train through Russia and Moscow and like through St. Petersburg that we could visit Garde's family.
So I'm like, maybe that's the train.
I'm getting on a fucking train.
OK, guys, big train.
And I want to sleep on the train at least one night.
I want to get one night of sleep on the train at least.
But I could be on a train for a week and
have like dinners on the train so that's that's my big resolution is to get the passport situated
and get out of the u.s with my husband it sounds like cooler than a cruise because like that's
something i've never experienced and do want to experience this year too is a cruise
yeah but that sounds even cooler that's really cool i. I like that one. I just love, yeah, I love trains.
And when I lived in Boston,
I used to ride the train every day.
I used to ride, but it's better than the subway.
I used to ride the T every fucking day,
and I miss it.
I love the train.
So that's a big one.
Okay.
Oh, another one that's like a creative project for me is,
I think you guys know this,
but I have a hobby of making flower arrangements
so I got this book
and it talks about wreaths
and compotes you know like the
old school like bowls
that have like flowers dripping out
there's a whole section on how to make that
whoa
and how to make your own wreaths
and like marigold curtains
you know those big marigold like curtains that you can see?
I don't know why I would make it in my apartment.
Well, look, I'm just saying this because like I said, I'll bring, I have projects.
I could bring them and show them off here.
If you made wreaths, we could probably hang them up right behind you right there.
Yay, every week.
And I could, I could make a marigold curtain.
That would take forever.
If you ever wanted to do that, bring it in.
I would love that.
At some point, just bring it in. Okay. We'll live forever on the podcast. That would take forever. If you ever wanted to do that, bring it in. I would love that. At some point,
just bring it in.
We'd live forever on the podcast.
That's my resolution.
God,
I wish I could do that,
but cats.
Yeah.
That's so cool.
I love flowers,
man.
And me too.
And I make flowers every week.
That's something that,
that was a resolution two years ago.
Every week I buy myself flowers and I arrange them around my house.
I like resolutions like that.
That's my meditation.
Yeah.
But compotes are hard because you have to get this little thing called like a frog something.
It's like little stems and you basically stick it out and then they all fall.
So I want to learn how to do that and then I can bring it in.
I think you give off the vibes of someone who would own a flower shop.
Oh.
Like you give off florist, I think. give off the vibes of someone who would own a flower shop. Oh. Like, you give off florist, I think.
Thank you.
Honestly, if I didn't love acting so much, acting is my passion,
I would live on a fucking island on the East Coast,
and I would own a flower shop, and I would wear big oversized sweaters,
and I'd have a fucking lab, and we would be on the beach.
A lab?
What if you weren't into acting like your husband
is out of the picture?
Guard aid doesn't exist.
No, I'm just kidding.
The aggression that came out of you?
Or I would be a scuba
diver instructor.
I would live on a tropical island.
Trust me, I've thought
about this my whole life.
Wow, I like how it's
islands.
I'm an island girl.
Acting kept you off
the islands.
That sucks.
Yeah, maybe.
Sorry.
Who knows?
Maybe a project will
come in and I'll be
able to go to an island.
So those are, those are.
I like those.
Those are my biggest
ones.
I think.
Oh, okay. This one's loose very loose that's my last one this is like I like to do things that I know I will love to do and then I like to do something
that will scare me either dye my hair because I've never dyed my hair never dye my hair once. Either dye my hair, maybe, or get a tattoo.
Maybe.
Maybe, maybe, maybe.
Anthony and I actually were talking about tattoos, and he was saying something like,
well, if you can't dye your hair, how are you going to get a tattoo?
And I was like, well, it's not the same thing.
But I dye hair or tattoo.
That's loosely based.
That is last on my list because every hairdresser is like, don't dye your hair.
My mom's like, don't dye your hair.
But I wanted to –
This is your fully natural color, right?
This is my natural – yeah, I've never dyed it.
You are very lucky because it is a very deep – it looks like how people dye when they're brunette.
Yours is like – your hair is not dull.
It's a very rich color.
Thank you, Courtney.
What if you grow out your bangs, and then you dye just the end parts of your bangs,
and then you could just cut them off?
White.
Well.
I'm trying to think of what you could do.
I don't know.
I mean, I forever have wanted to dye my hair, like, bright blonde.
Ah!
But I think that I, I don't know.
Or, like like pale purple.
But
I don't know guys. I don't know.
Your hair grows fast.
These are my bangs
they're done. They're ready to be
put back. I'm telling you
dye just the ends of your bangs
have that for a week and then cut them off.
And then just have my husband's name just
right across my chest.
I come in, white hair,
bangs, and then just
garnets right across my chest. Awesome.
That'd be sick as hell.
Oh my god. Iconic. And I'm like,
guys have changed. I might dye my hair
this year too. I've been thinking about
changing it up. I kind of get tired
of the blonde sometimes, and it's obviously not my natural color.
My natural color is
in my roots for those watching.
It's just kind of like a dull. I can't imagine you not
a blonde though. It really is like who I
am. Yeah. But I don't know.
I might chop it off
this year. I might go back to the bob.
Whoa. I like
your hair. I love my hair short. Yeah, I love your
hair short. Long hair is nice because I can just tuck it behind my ears
Or put it in a bun and it's out of the way
But short hair is just more me
I'm ready for long hair
I'm ready for the braids
I used to be able to do high buns
And braids and low buns
And two buns
Double buns
Double buns
So those are my resolutions
I like those
and I like that they
they kind of tie into
this next part
which is predictions
I love predictions
for this
oh boy
so we all came up
with a bunch of predictions
we're going to
throw these out there
yeah let's rapid fire
and then we're gonna
hold them
hold on to them
for the whole year
and see who can get
the most predictions correct
I love it
just be careful
cause like
I remember when we did a video together we were talking about what we were gonna do in the new year and see who can get the most predictions correct. I love it. Just be careful because like I remember when we did
a video together we were talking about what we were going to
do in the new year and I was like guys
2020 is about health. Let's
be healthy and then the fucking
pandemic happened.
Oh my god. Well you know what? That's
a great thing about predictions. We
are just thinking of them. We
can't be the ones
that make it actually happen.
It just happens.
So we're just going to throw them out there
and then maybe we all vote on the one that we think
is actually going to really happen.
I say we hold on to all of them.
We have a big pool of them.
If a bunch of them happen, awesome.
If none of them happen, okay, fine.
Should we just rapid fire them?
Let's take turns.
I know Amanda and and i we wrote
down a bunch courtney if you want to throw out any you can um amanda why don't you start throw
out one okay i genuinely think that angela is going to book something really big cool i like
that prediction that's my prediction okay i'm gonna tie this this in with one of my predictions. I think I wrote, Amanda books a role as a mom.
Honey, probably.
Fucking probably.
I think you're going to book a role.
It could be commercial.
I think saying that you're going to book a role, you're going to book a role.
You're going to book something.
But as a mom, I love it.
I think you're going to book a role as a mom.
I love it.
That's my prediction.
And it could be, look, any sort of role. I've been booking roles as mom since I moved out here at 24. See, I love it. But I think you're going to book a role as a mom. I love it. I think that's my prediction. And it could be, look, any sort of role. I've been booking roles
as mom since I moved out here at
24. See, easy, easy.
See, safe prediction.
It's going to happen. Love it. Alright, so
those are two. I think Ian and Anthony
are going to start writing a movie this year.
They have not said anything about it, but I just have a
feeling. That's a good one.
Alright, hopefully we catch wind
and can say that.
I think Shane will do a split.
You think I'm going to do the splits? It's first on my list.
Whoa, you think I'm going to do the splits?
I wrote down, I will do the splits.
Ah! Look,
might as well just mount that pressure.
I think Chance is going to date
a celebrity. Whoa, I love
that prediction. That is so
legit. Oh, I love that.
That is legit.
I don't know if this is legit.
I think Anthony will shave his head, like Harry Styles.
Whoa.
I love that.
And he'll get it.
No, he will, because you know he's going to get a tattoo underneath.
Yeah.
And it's going to say breathe.
No, it's going to say head.
Inhale, exhale, breathe.
Think, Anthony. Think about it.
Just head.
This was for some reason one of my first ones.
I will shake Markiplier's hand.
Ooh.
I have seen.
Wait, who the fuck is that?
Markiplier, he's famous for playing.
The biggest gamer ever.
He's famous for playing Five Nights at Freddy's.
Oh.
He has a really deep voice.
He has an OnlyFans.
Okay, you'll shake his hand.
This is Markiplier.
Okay.
Look, I don't even have to say anything to him,
but if at some sort of event or something we shake hands,
prediction fulfilled.
Love that.
I've seen him at conventions before.
Really?
This is a feasible one.
I've seen him at VidCon and stuff.
I've never seen him at one.
Okay, this is feasible.
Yeah, this is feasible. Okay. But I will shake markiplier's hand okay all right court i think i think shane's gonna get
some crazy auditions this year oh okay i'll let you know if i get crazy auditions i will meet
keith morrison from dateline and what's crazy is I had this on my list,
and then Shane texted me being like,
what if you just meet Keith Morrison?
I was like, it's already on my list.
That was crazy.
He is the Dateline, the lead Dateline host.
I would love to meet him.
I mean, work maybe interviewing him on this podcast would be cool.
I don't know if that's possible. I don't know. Either way. I don't know if that's possible.
I don't know.
Either way.
I don't know where that guy is at.
Meet Keith Morrison.
He's probably home.
I mean, I don't even know.
No, but I mean, like, what part of the world is he in?
I don't know.
New York?
No idea.
Okay.
Okay.
I wrote, Smosh will be on Good Morning America.
Whoa.
No, no.
There's a bunch of things that I think will count.
If Good Morning America says the word smosh,
I count it.
Yeah.
If any cast member goes on Good Morning America,
even if they're there representing a different project,
counts.
Counts.
They have to show up there somehow.
Maybe we do the whole, like,
boy in the weather balloon thing,
where we say that...
Oh, God, that story. We say one of us got stuck in a weather balloon.
Actually at home.
And then we rescued him.
And then we end up on Good Morning America.
I love that.
I have one that Will Smith will come out saying that the slap was fake.
Whoa, I love that.
Love it.
It was all planned.
I think it was all planned for Chris Rock's stand up special
and I don't know
for him to get more
I don't know why
I think
Smosh will be on Family Feud
That would actually be so fun
Can we just make that happen?
Can we please make that happen?
I will do everything in my power
A famous cereal will change its mascot.
Whoa.
Okay.
We're stepping out of Smosh.
Of Smosh.
Tony the Tiger?
What if they just...
Look, this has happened.
Cinnamon Toast Crunch changed theirs forever ago.
You're so right.
They change them sometimes.
What if it's Trix's time?
He's done.
Trix the Rabbit. Goodbye, Rabbit. What if they turn Trix's time? He's done. Trix the rabbit.
Goodbye, rabbit.
What if they turn Trix the rabbit into a hottie?
What if they turn...
Bye.
What if Trix the rabbit becomes a real boy?
And now he can eat the cereal because he's a real kid.
Oh, my God.
That's actually pretty fucking good.
Pretty sweet.
You thought outside the box.
Okay, here's one that might make people go, huh?
I think there will be a Smosh baby.
I think that a baby.
This year?
This year.
It needs to happen fast.
Or maybe next year.
Or an announcement at the very least.
Or an announcement.
Or a Smosh baby will be on the way.
I think there will be a Smosh announcement.
Baby announcement.
Okay.
Because I thought about this and I was like, there could be some people on here.
Okay.
Single or together or not.
Or not.
Some for a baby.
Okay, I like that.
That's what I think
because I feel like since COVID,
people are like,
you know what?
Fuck it.
I'm going to have a baby now.
Do you know what I mean?
I feel like people are like,
you know what?
My career, yes,
it is number one,
but I also,
I want a baby
because you never know
when another shutdown is happening.
I love it.
There's a Smosh baby coming.
Just conjure a human.
There's a Smosh baby coming.
I feel it.
I wrote, Bigfoot is proven to be real, but went extinct decades ago.
Aww.
They're going to find his remains?
Yeah, it's kind of a bittersweet finding.
I think they're going to be like, wait, Bigfoot, there actually was a great ape in the western United States, but it went extinct 50 to 100 years ago.
Whoa, that's really grim.
I know.
I don't think it's, I don't know.
That's pretty cool.
Yeah, it's just a very specific one.
I like that.
But also, look, if Bigfoot's proven to be real and alive.
Because you've seen Bigfoot.
I've seen Bigfoot. I've seen Bigfoot.
Okay.
Then I think then we're going to get an actual message from extraterrestrials. Contact?
Actual contact.
You think contact is made this year?
Okay.
Wait, I love that one.
That is going to be like release.
It's not going to be like, oh, the environment's hiding this.
I think that Nick and Vanessa Lachey are going to get replaced on Love is Blood.
Yeah, let's go.
I hope.
By, I think by like an actor that you're like, what?
You're doing this?
Like a really well-known actor.
Elizabeth Chu.
I really think a really well-known actor is going to replace them as hosts.
That's just a prediction that I have.
This is how I do i'm trying tom cruise i'm trying to predict something because i'm hopeful but i also don't
want to jinx myself and i also have to be realistic this is crazy though the denver broncos will lose
the afc championship game which i'm fine with nothing is happening when you say that inside of
me i'm like uh-huh, cool.
That means they'll go, they'll win all the way up to right before the Super Bowl, and
they'll lose there.
I think they will lose to the, I don't know, but I think if the Broncos make the playoffs,
it'd be so sick, because I said, I think I said it here on this podcast, that I was like,
they're going to lose forever.
People know that I said that they're going to lose just a ton this year.
Then they started winning.
Then they went on a nonstop winning streak.
By the time we're airing this episode, I don't know what their record is.
I don't know if they're going to make the playoffs.
It'd be cool.
I know this doesn't matter to you.
It doesn't affect me at all.
I feel like shut down and I feel like I'm asleep.
It'd be so cool.
But my prediction is that they'll go to the AFC Championship
game and they'll lose. God, I hope so.
Me too. I really hope so. I hope I'm wrong
in some way.
Okay, I have one that's so weird, but I
think this is the year
that we are going to have a lot of
exposed. I think the
truth about JFK and the truth about
Marilyn Monroe is going to be exposed
this year. Wait, because there's literally, there are
boxes of information and like
paperwork that like literally that
when people die, they're like, do not open this until
50 years after my death. Oh, well, Jackie Kennedy.
Marilyn Monroe's box is coming up.
Oh, is it? Yeah.
Who has power over that?
I need to make sure I'm not talking out my ass.
I know like Jackie Kennedy wrote a book
and she said it won't be published for like,
it won't be published until like 2060.
No, no, no, like later than that.
It won't be posted until 100 years after her death.
You know how like Mark Twain's autobiography
was released a little bit ago?
I think there's something about JFK
going to be exposed this year.
Okay.
I feel like I've been seeing a lot of stuff about it
on TikTok and stuff lately.
Until 2039.
Yeah.
It's a mysterious box of Marilyn Monroe documents sealed until 2039 could prove she was murdered by her obsessed psychiatrist.
Oh, okay.
I got to read that later.
What?
Okay.
I wrote down Mario and Luigi kiss officially.
No, this can't be fan art.
I think Nintendo needs to publish something.
Are they brothers?
Yeah.
Oh, they're the Mario brothers.
They're brothers.
I'm not saying anything romantic.
Don't Game and Thrones this.
Wait, are they brothers?
They are the Mario brothers.
Yes.
They're Mario brothers.
Or are they just besties?
I didn't say anything sexual.
I just think they will kiss.
Maybe it's like a kiss on the cheek.
Whatever.
That's fine.
But that's my prediction.
Maybe it's an alternate universe where they're not brothers.
You never know.
You have a sick mind.
I feel like here's my last one.
And here's a prediction or intuitively manifesting.
SmoshMoth is going to get over a million subscribers.
Oh, whoa, a million subscribers?
Well.
I wrote one.
But you're right.
I said I wrote,
we have an episode that hits
a million views in a week.
Okay.
Well, I top you on that.
You know what?
These are, look,
we're saying contact will be made.
Bigfoot will be revealed to be real.
Mario and Luigi are going to kiss for some reason.
Those are all yours.
And the one that's crazy is Smosh Mouth will get a million subscribers.
There's no way.
You never know.
My last one, you can tell this is when I started just running out of ideas.
I wrote, Timothy Chalamet breakdances.
Hasn't he already?
Has he already done that?
I thought you were going to say Timothyothee Chalamet breaks a leg.
I'm like, yeah.
I think Timothee Chalamet
is going to break dance
at some sort of event.
Like, he's going to be like,
Timothee Chalamet danced
at the Oscars.
That's probably true.
It's going to happen.
That's probably true.
All right.
Courtney, any more?
Maybe they'll have
a Love is Blind gay?
Ooh.
Oh, that's for sure. And Elizabethabeth shu will be the host and she'll
be the host like love is blind all women or love is blind or like because because you know what
it's just an untapped like content source of like queer love dating shows where it's like everyone's
by and you just don't know where or what and who's kissing and touching.
Cool.
Cool.
I would love to watch that.
Respect it.
Okay.
So the end is, we kind of already did this.
Money where our mouth is.
Yeah.
Our end segment.
So this is a fun new end segment.
This is where we're going to kind of like make a promise or like say we're going to do something.
And then in the coming episodes,
we need to put our money where our mouth is
and actually show it off.
Okay.
I have mine.
I know what I'm going to do.
What is it?
I know an easy one.
So in one of these coming episodes,
either next week or the week after,
I will bring some sort of dish from the cookbook.
I'll bring some sort of Taiwanese dish. Okay, and I'll bring some sort of Taiwanese dish.
Okay, and I will bring a
compote flower arrangement.
Really?
Sure.
I love it!
And that's this, not the wreath.
Okay. Courtney, do you want to do one?
You won't be here,
but we'll know. You can stop by.
Do I have anything that I can do and then bring it?
I don't have anything in my resolutions like that.
That's okay.
Or just, yeah, some sort of-
Cut your hair really short and just come in and go, hey.
You won't cut my hair.
What's something you want to do in the next week or so?
Oh, boy.
What do I want to do?
Maybe you're busy.
That's okay.
I truly am.
You don't have to.
She's busy.
We're going to cook and we're going to make flour.
I'll let you guys cook.
All right.
Let us cook.
All right.
All right.
We'll tune in in the coming weeks to see.
Happy New Year.
And Happy New Year.

Let's see what's going to be real.
And, you know, keep tabs on our predictions throughout this year.
