Hello. Mom's

home. Sarah Whittle is back. Finally, mom's home. You can take my spot of being mom. You left and I have been mommy, mommy. Take it over. You're like mom who's been traveling and you're like, I'm back with gifts. I'm back. I came with a tan and a new outfit and I'm feeling great.

Well, good. I'm exhausted. My children are bothering me. Take them. I love that having you back here is really funny because before we started smosh mouth like before we brought smosh cast back i was looking back at the old smosh cast and realized the final episode that's that aired was your goodbye episode that was where this podcast ended last time yeah it was it was it was like and it was like several months after like after the

previous episode so that had aired so like we did a special podcast to like explain why i was leaving smosh for a second time that's so dude okay because you left smosh twice yes um yeah for people who don't have any idea who i am, or maybe you forgot, that's totally okay. But yeah, I started working for Smosh in 2015 on the Smosh Pit channel, and then eventually became head of social, then head of all unscripted, so like Pit Games and kind of the Twitch stuff. And then in 2021, I left and I moved out of Los Angeles and moved to Colorado and got a new job. And I've been living life out there. So wait.

So then when did you come back? Oh, oh, oh, yeah. Yep, yep, yep. So right before the Defy shut down, I had gotten a new job because I felt the writings on the wall. So I left for a brief moment. Then when Mythical bought Smosh, I came back for that iteration of Smosh. So wait, you were only gone for like less than a year? Yeah. brief moment than when mythical bought smosh i came back for that iteration of smosh so wait you were only gone for like less than a year yeah yeah i think i had left in like early september

like august september and then i came back february what if had you stayed defy wouldn't have shut down that's don't say that no that that's that would have been a bad thing oh okay stuck there this is true yeah i left so that defy could shut down i was keeping it together you were very smart it does make me think about how it does make me think about how the months leading up we knew that that shutdown was coming we were taking bets at the beginning of 2018 if we would see the end of the year yeah because i also was overseeing budgets and so like so the year prior they were like hey whatever show you guys want to make, just spend that money and make those shows.

And then the next year, they were like, can you make a show for $2? Whoa. And I was like, this is weird, guys. I think something's going on. Something's wrong. Yeah. Wait. So OK.

So that's when we crossed paths. Weren't you like towards the end when I was coming in? Yes. Yeah. So I think that was when kind of like you were on the main channel and i was like asking around because i've been following you i've told you this several times yes i've been following amanda for like since 2015 when i first moved to los angeles i randomly found you through like another friend who did UCB and improv. And I was like, this girl is freaking hilarious.

So I would follow you. I'd fangirl. And then when they were like, who are funny people that could join Smosh? I'd be like, Amanda's so funny, but she's so tall. And everyone's so short. I'm like, I don't know. She told me this.

She told me this two VidCons ago. You told me this. And I was like, motherfuckers. I've been like an OG fan of you like forever. So now we just like DM each other, loving each other all the time. We love each other. It is also true. I think Amanda joining Smosh did prove to a lot of our viewers how short the rest of this was.

Thanks, Shane. I thought that was going to go somewhere else. A lot of context was given as soon as Amanda joined. Welcome to my literal life. When you told me that, I was like, wow. I mean, I had a commercial agent being like, we love you. You are fantastic. Too tall.

I'm so sorry. You're too tall. No, it is true. But then they realize they're like, yeah, she's a big girl. We're going to just. She's a big girl. Give it up. Give it up.

Give it up, big girl.'re gonna just she's a big girl give it up give it up give it up big girl uh yeah you kill it here like i love every character you do sarah christ so good the um the fortune teller at the funeral like i think anthony's roast is my favorite thing smosh has ever done period oh my god like and claudio knows like i was home watching crying. I was crying, I was so proud. Angela and Chance's musical, I was like, this is the best thing I've ever seen Smosh do. And Courtney directing it, and then Courtney performing. I was like, bikini girl for president.

I fully was like, I was so proud of you guys, and I cried happy tears. I was so proud of you guys. That makes me so happy. Yeah. I truly, I felt like we, and I cried happy tears. I was so proud of you guys. That makes me so happy. Yeah. I truly, I felt like we all came together on that shoot. We worked so hard, and Courtney just killed it, as we all knew that she would. But she really killed it.

For Vision, we were all like, yes. And when I started working with Courtney, I don't know how old she was. She was 19. Yeah, in 2015. And I just like- Crazy. And I just, like. Crazy. It's just so crazy. And so, like, to kind of see her grow and, like, see her leadership grow and, like, push her.

Because I remember she, I would talk to her all the time about, like, directing and producing and stuff. And so, like, to see this, like, whole thing, I was, like, I was proud, Mama. I was, like, so proud of everyone. And, like, it gave me FOMO. Because I was, like, I wish I was there. Because they're so funny. Can they take this on the road like the funeral i think the funeral show could be like a touring show that's all i'm saying that's so funny that you say that because i actually feel like it could be too i also feel like live doing it live doing it live yeah i know we did it live in front of an audience and streamers, but like live. Yeah. Where people could actually see a lot of people.

Yeah. Yeah. And you, it makes sense that you have a lot of stakes in this place still because so much of this channel is still because of you. Like so much of what you see still

is kind of you got the ball rolling on so much of it. Yeah. And it's crazy because it's like, I think from the viewer's perspective, everything looks the same. Like the Try Not To Laugh set on so much of it. Yeah, and it's crazy because it's like, I think from the viewer's perspective, everything looks the same. Like the Try Not To Laugh set looks pretty much the same.

Maybe the lighting looks a little different. Maybe there's a little more space, but it's like, you know, we shot another video earlier today and like I see this huge room and like remember at Defy, that tiny corner room that we like literally painted each corner differently

so it could be a different set yeah but like literally the cameras were in the same center place in the middle of the room and that's what that was our set yeah very long time we worked with tiny sets in a lot of our stuff the first try not to laugh was in such a small room which is crazy because you need so much space yeah when you're doing you had to make it work without that space before. Now you have wigs. We have wigs and wig caps. Huge. Huge.

I mean, and yeah, Try Not To Laugh used to be me just like scrolling through Amazon trying to be like, what would be a funny prop? Like, just looking. Yeah. And we were doing that. We were doing Show With No Name. We were doing squad vlogs.

We were going places. Oh, yeah. We just did an episode on Smosh Lore. So I learned a lot. I gave her all the rundown. I were going places. Oh yeah, we just did an episode on Smosh lore so I learned a lot. I gave her all the rundown. I didn't show, I did miss. I forgot about because I didn't get too much into the mythical era but

your baby was spelling bikini wax. Yes, yes, yeah. So that was like a shower thought because it was inspired. I have my best ideas when I shower and i'm like doing my hair and just like yeah that's where like my creative juices get flowing i think it's because i have nothing else to do like that you have to be present like i'm always multitasking taking a

shower no but i can go into autopilot girls no you just go into autopilot yes like you know it's your routine so like uh i was inspired by jo Beretta, who used to be creative director back in the Defy days at Smosh. He had a Valley Folk show called Trivia Bidet. You would ask questions about, you know, trivia questions. If you got it wrong, you'd get blasted by a bidet. So I was like- By a bidet? By a bidet that they had installed incorrectly.

So it was a little strong. Oh. Oh, yeah. So that means you're standing over the toilet? You're sitting on the toilet so i ended up being on an episode you sit on a toilet joe beretta's on the ground behind me i'm pants down i have a blanket over me i have a table on top what and then lee newton was the host and she would she would crouch over that's how you know it like she that's how i know it i

was like she would ask me the question i know yes i love lee newton yes yes she was a groundling she was sunday company yeah yep exactly i remember that group oh my god yeah wait a second so you were pantsless so if you got it wrong you're blasted it's a very fun episode wow it's a it's still on the internet to this day what and what is it called again trivia bidet so i. So I was like, I like this idea of like a simple game, but like high stakes. Yeah.

You know, like high stakes punishment. So showering, showering, and I was like, what's a game? Oh, spelling bee,

spelling bee, kiniwax. And that's how the idea was born. And it was truly torture. And every, and I think like once a year now, but like, you know, more often when I first left Smosh for the second time, I would get comments of like, is this the girl on my socials?

Is this the girl who hosted that show on Facebook? You're like, okay, is that my legacy? Yeah. That's why you traveled. You were like, that's my legacy. I can't come back. I'm not mad about it, though. It's my favorite thing I've ever created.

I have not seen an episode. It was a great show. Oh, you could watch them. They're on the internet forever. They're still on the internet. They were great. Because, I mean, yeah, if you want to explain how it went. But basically, just you were hosting.

Yeah, I'd host it. Because I pitched the idea. And the team at the time was like, sir, you got to host this. And I was like, I wasn't really on camera talent. So I was like, sure. Yeah, of course. I love this i love this idea and so you know it's a traditional spelling b but if you get the word wrong you don't get out of the game you lose some hair down there or however down down there bikini yeah now they gave us the option to get waxed kind of wherever we wanted i would typically choose thigh yeah which was still awful.

Well, you're letting out the secret. But for the longest time, we would say, you know, it is what it is. But the truth is, guys. Did some people? I think some people did. I did.

Not full, but it would be like strips. Whoa. Yeah. Ow. Yeah. It's the worst pain ever. What kind of words are you working with? Hard words. Hard words.

Hard words. Hard words. No, it would start off easy, and it would get harder. And some words are just impossible. I'm getting stressed because I feel like this is coming. Like, somehow, Masha's going to be like, yeah, we're going to do that again. Well, I saw, like, when you guys hit 8 million subscribers, like, spelling Bikini Wax, like, logo was on it, and all the fans were like, oh, my God, is it coming back?

Is it coming back? Wouldn't that be a good live show we couldn't do it we couldn't do it because of the pandemic because i think it kind of became like and not surprisingly it was very hard to find people yeah i think it was like a sanitary like a covid thing a little bit and yeah it was hard to find it was hard to find guests so like that's why there's so little episodes because i would literally have to email people and be like hey guys we have this show where you eat bad shit or you like get punished Eat it or eat it had started so we're doing eat it or eat it and still are you can have your pews wax Games are always doing punishment shit.

No, 2019, we were getting fucked up. Because we weren't gamers. Because we weren't gamers. And it's like. We weren't gamers, so we wanted to see you get tortured. But now we're becoming gamers because I'm making Amanda a gamer. Oh, yeah. I'm so proud of you guys. Yeah, I'm playing Five Nights at Freddy's.

That's awesome. She's getting good at it. And Shane's very scared. He's scared of little boy. I'm putting on a show. He's very, very scared. Not actually that scared. But he is doing well.

We're good partners. But sometimes he does things in Five Nights at Freddy's where he goes, and then he just lets go of the control and just turns around. Shane does get overwhelmed very quickly. That's something. The hell is this conversation turning into? Has Amanda replaced me as your best friend at Smosh? Oh.

I don't know. I don't know. I think I have a pretty good rapport with everyone. A lot of besties. Because back at Defy, I didn't. Damn. In the best way possible. Okay.

Like a good slut. Yeah. Like one of those awesome sluts. One of those awesome sluts that's always there. I'm a superb slut. Yes. Back at Defy, there was a lot of people I didn't know. Yeah. One of those awesome sluts. One of those awesome sluts. It's always there. I'm a superb slut. Yes. Back at Defy, there was a lot of people I didn't know. Yeah. But I would go hang out with you all the time.

Yep. Not let me get any work done. It's also different. Yeah, I would just go over and just yell. I'd be like, can you leave? I have meetings. I would say nowadays I'm mellow off camera and I try to amp it up on camera and get back to that. But back then sometimes I was actually equally as insane off camera as I was on camera.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I can see that. Yeah, you're like throwing pencils. Oh, yeah, yeah. So that's right. The Defy office had those like it had those office ceiling panels, you know, made out of whatever that material is. It's like not quite styrofoam. Oh, yeah.

Yeah, so I would just throw pencils into it all the time. So there was pencils. Literally just to see if they would stick. So glad I missed that era. That office sucked, okay? Now I just get like very chill, very kind, very, how are you, Shane? And it's really, really nice.

And I'm like, well, I'm the crazy one. Sometimes. So we don't do Spelling Bikini Wax anymore. And we stopped doing Eat It or Eat It. Yeah. We have a lot of shows we don't do anymore. That's good. Do you have a favorite of the ones that we have sunset?

I mean, yeah, Spelling Bikini Wax will always have like a sweet spot in my heart. But no, I don't think so. I think that's the one standout, just because that was very close and near and dear to me. But I don't know. I just love the new vibe. I don't know if it's a new vibe.

It's an improved, evolved vibe, this new smosh. Even when I came last year and this year like i think it's it feels a lot more creative and open and supportive and so it's just like i do feel the fomo when i watch you guys because it's you know i know you guys personally too but it's like that parasocial like and i'm like oh my god there's somebody so i'm texting and like after the funeral i like blew everyone's phones up and everything like that best it would be so fun to have you back because i do feel like there is this just like girl group here yeah plus shane and there's this girl group here that's okay i'm fucking done no shane i'm fucking out of here there's like this girl group that's just

like we're just like getting like sleepover vibes like Angela I don't fangirl but I want her to be my sister I wish she was my sister she would be the best sister ever I cut my hair to be her I'm breaking my arm to be her and I want to be Angela hey Angela it's just a cast

you're wearing sweatshirts hey Angela she would love it It's just a cast. You broke your arm. I broke my arm. You're wearing sweatshirts. You're like, hey, Angela. She would love it. Angela, I would say, is what I think I used to be, where off camera she is just as loud and crazy on camera. I think that's just who she is. No, my favorite thing, this is a fun little fact about Angela. Midway through the day, it's about, because it's what, it's about 4 o'clock right now. Yeah.

It's about 3 to 4 o'clock on every shoot day. We're filming from 8 a.m. all the way until 7 p.m. Around 3 to 4, Angela suddenly just, it kicks back up, and she goes, second wind. I'm getting energy. Second wind. Uh-oh. Second wind. I'm getting energy.

And she'll play music. Does she caffeinate? Oh, yeah. Oh, God. That's what it is. More than you should. Oh, yeah. And she'll have a. Does she caffeinate? Oh, yeah. Oh, God. That's what it is. More than you should. Oh, yeah. And she'll have a whole mug of coffee.

She's walking around super fast with a mug of coffee. It's not spilling somehow. And she's like, second wind. Let's go. She never puts a top on it. Ever. I actually do feel like the older sister usually. I'm like, man, they're nuts.

God, these times. I love Christmas. I feel like I'm just like, wait yeah, and they're nuts. God, these times. I love Christmas. Like, I feel like I just like wait till mom gets home. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. So mom.

So Angela is your favorite cast member. Oh, is that what you want to say? You could say it. You basically just said it. I feel like I love everyone in their own. Sarah, shut the fuck up. Who is your favorite cast member? Just be honest.

Is it Angela? He's so jealous. I don't care. I don't care. He's very jealous. Favorite cast member of Smosh. Wow. You're really putting me under the... I think it is Angela.

No, okay, cuz he can't read Selena don't Giggles of confirmation come on I answer some I'm I'm busy here The problem is I get okay. Let me vent for a second okay, I get emails while we're like filming stuff like this and then I

And I forget to respond very overwhelmed very easily. No, he responds in a way that I'm like, he got it and he's not mad at me. But if I didn't know him, I'd be like, wow, he hates me. It's like, yes. I will. If we're going to shit on Shane. But I am responding.

It was just a me thing. I kind of love that Sarah's here. Okay, hold on. I love that Sarah's here to, like, really, you know, pull the curtain in so I can see. The real Shane. Who you were. It's okay, Shane. It's okay.

It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. Who you were. It's okay, Shane. It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. Dude, I, oh my God. That was quoted at me so much for so long.

I know. Well, did you see me comment on your post that I was like, is Shane okay? Turned into, is Shane here? Dude, it's, yeah. What is this? So we did a. Lore. This is more lore.

What is this? It started, it started with a video where, I guess maybe you haven't seen it. We did this a couple years ago where it's me at a table doing red table talks with all of my characters. And Tommy was able to edit it. I remember this. And made me, so it looks like all of my characters and I are all Aunt Carolyn, Courtney Freakin' Miller, a dumpster wizard. And this is before The Chosen really became The Chosen So I had had one or two Chosen appearances by this point

He doesn't even appear in it until the very end But at one point I was improvising as Aunt Carolyn And I just go, are you K? Are you K? Are you K? Are you K? Are you K? And then people just commented that on every single one of my posts for like two years.

Damn. They are our fans. Dude, if you throw out an inside joke for them. Yeah. Mexican salsa. Yes. Oh, you'll never hear the end of it. Oh, I know.

No, I know. That's every comment on every video is like, I made his hair. Mexican salsa. Yes. He said to me the other day, he's like, you know, no one's been commenting about our videos. They've just been commenting about your hair. Mexican salsa, yes.

That's awesome. My bangs grew out and people are like, whoa. Someone said on the last video they were like, she is working it. She is going hard. I was like, alright. Am I not allowed to dress up well anyways yeah you got fans i guess so yeah i guess i told shane that i had a tsa agent i was walking up and he was

yeah this is last week he was checking maybe he's watching right now he He's checking my IDs and he goes, what are you doing here? What are you doing here? And I was like, it's, it's, I looked horrible. I was like, do you need my, yeah, here's my ID. He's like, what are you doing? What are you doing here? And he literally goes, I'm going to get fired for this.

Mark, can I borrow your phone? He didn't have his phone. He was amazing. His name was Legend. Whoa, a legend. He was amazing. He took the photo, and I was like, oh, God. I think about all the photos that are taken of me with fans.

I'm like, oh, my God. It's like the worst angle of me. I'm like. I would have been so nervous. TSA agent there yelling at me. I know. I'd be like, oh, shit. What are you doing here? You are the bomb. I've be like, oh, shit. What are you doing here? You are the bomb.

I've gotten that, too, though. Have you? Yeah, like at a bakery. Someone was like, Sarah, what are you doing here? And I was like, what? Yo, I live here now. Why that response? I wonder that.

Because if I saw, and I thought it was very sweet. But if I saw someone that I saw on the internet, I wouldn't go, what are you doing here? No, but I get it. I get it. Because it's like the whole parasocial thing. So it's like in my brain, I may not immediately connect to you, like connect that I'm seeing you in real life,

but I only know you online. Yeah. Oh. A good example is one time in New York City, I took my parents to go on the 30 Rockefeller Center tour. We walk into the lobby, and some random guy from the voice is like doing satellite interviews in the middle of the lobby so he's like taking a break we walk by him he makes eye contact with me and in my brain i'm like i recognize him so i was like hey

what's up man and he was like what's up and then we walked away and i was like i have no fucking that was because my parents were like do you know him him? And I was like, I don't actually. It's true. The internet, you watch them all the time. You're like, oh, I know them. They're a good friend of mine. Like how you and I have been best friends for 10 years ever since I met you.

No, literally. I feel like we've been friends forever. And when I saw you and you said that you're like, I've been following you forever, I was like, yeah, acting like I knew. I was like, mm-hmm. Yeah, for sure, dude. The internet does

something weird it just like blurs all of it because also too like Shane never texts me what the fuck is this but like you know I don't think

this is an intervention damn we're not like disconnected we're still friends you know it's true we see each other

on the internet we see each other on the internet it's okay it's okay it's okay Shane had no idea what was happening

but do not get Sarah and I together in one. I love how, you know what we didn't bring up is we already had booked Sarah for this episode. Oh yeah. And then you texted Sarah saying, you should come on Smosh Mouth. You knew we already had her slated. I was like, I love you, I miss you, you're amazing.

You should come on Smosh Mouth. She was like, I am coming on Smosh Mouth. She was like, I am coming on Smosh Mouths She was like, I'm pretty sure I am She was like, yeah, here's the date and this is the time And I'll be there I was like, yeah, let me check with my people Let me check with my people Trust me, I felt like an idiot

I was like, yeah, let me check the schedule, you're probably right And I was like, Shane, are we getting Sarah Linnell? But I didn't take it too hard I didn't take it too hard Because Kiana, when she was, like, planning my trip here, like, she also told me, like, five videos I was supposed to be in. And I was like, that many? I was like, okay.

Welcome to our day. But I liked all the options. I was down for all the options. No, I loved it. And you chose this and Reddit Stories. Yeah. If I ever come back, though, I do want to play, like, a board game with you guys because, like, I think it'd be so, I love playing games with you guys oh she should play like the all rise or love is love

is blind love is blind so funny love is blind is full chaos we literally got that or mori we were like oh here we go mori is the shit mori is fun um we're not the we got we're having a lot of fun over there yeah playing some bullshit nowadays well're just like, when have we not been bullshitting? We're playing some real bullshit. No, we're playing games that are bullshit. We cranked the bullshit up. We just talked about spelling bikini wax. Nah, no, that was tame.

No, we're playing board games that are like structured improv, essentially. Yeah, yeah. Like, here, slot for character, character, character, character, improv. It's so fun. Well, and that's why I started, like, the character games, because it was, like, it was just like a, it was, like, we just got, like, an easy-to-do, like, board game, and then everyone just bring a character,

and, like, that's what we did for, like, a little bit. Yeah, that's how The Chosen came about. Like, Viva Smosh Vegas came out of that. Yeah, and, yeah, Chosen. Chosen, you were, like, you were actually such a big catalyst in The Chosen being created, I realized, because You were actually Such a big catalyst In the Chosen Being created Yeah

Because his first appearances Were all in videos with you Yeah And I think that was Viva Smosh Vegas Was the first one It was Blackjack Yeah it was Blackjack

Blackjack was the first Viva Smosh Vegas Yep it's so good The Blackjack episode Where yeah That's a great name That episode was great And I

I cobbled the Chosen together Because I was gonna do Aunt Carolyn Then we didn't have The right wig for her because I was going to do Aunt Carolyn. Then we didn't have the right wig for her. So I was like, oh, shit, I need to come up with something else. And then I literally saw that shirt, saw a pair of those cargo shorts, and saw a necklace. And I was like, all right, I'm going to.

And those sunglasses. And I put it all together. But it even started as the Chosen. You were just doing your version of Spencer. I was Spencer Agnew. Yeah. It wasn't called the Chosen at first. It was like an alternative universe Spencer Agnew. I just kind of threw it out there to make fun of him

because I was just like, yeah, it's stupid. And that Dart video, the Dart video, I still rewatch. It's like one of my comfort videos and also the egg roulette where Damien says the chicken oposner and I say, what is that? And Spencer goes, that's the chicken pussy.

Yeah. What? What a world. Amanda, you had to be there. What a world. You had to be there. And Don't Wake Daddy, Ian, also. Oh, dude.

So funny. Wait, that sounds like a show that I want to be on. It's so funny. I feel like you can tell on Smosh Games that Spencer's the one, like, generating the ideas now, because it's just fully crazy. Well, those were, like, that was back in the day when Spencer was, like, mainly editing. And I was, like, what do you want to do? And he's, like, I want to be on more videos.

And I was, like, absolutely. So that's when, like, I, you know, obviously put Tommy in videos because Tommy's so funny. But then I started putting Spencer in videos. And so, like, it always felt like when it was, like, Spencer, you, Damien, me, Ian. Like, those were crazy videos. You're like the only lady. Yeah. That's okay.

Yeah. I feel like it's flipped. Now there's so many women. Yeah, it's the girls club. The ladies run Smosh now. It's the girls club. Truly, that's what it feels like. It's pretty cool.

You like it? I think it's cool. You going to say anything else? I think it's cool. Can you say another opinion? I'm not targeting you. You like it? It's really cool and I respect it.

Good. It's awesome and I think it's the best. Good. You checked off everything I had on the list. I'm sweating. I'm sweating. And I think it's really cool. Are you okay?

Yes, I'm okay. It's okay, Shane. But now I love your guys' funeral. If I had to pick a favorite, favorite show, it would be funerals. I love funerals. Were you gone before we even started doing them? Yeah. Wow.

Because we didn't really roast. We do roast every so often. Show with no name was where we first started. We did a little bit of roasting and then the Jackbox game and stuff. But my goodbye was the kind of first official roast. That's true. And then, so then when you guys started doing the funeral stuff, I was like, oh my God,

this is so freaking hilarious. That's kind of true. Your, that was a Try Not To Laugh episode, but it kind of was the first, like, that was like a little bit of a blueprint for funeral. Yeah, and I think it made everyone, like, comfortable because, like, roasting is my love language because it's like, it makes me feel seen and like i also just like laugh at myself

constantly so when people have the audacity to also like laugh at me with me like i really like that so like roasting like that roasting is it just like warms my heart so much because it like it was the perfect send- to my smosh career. Yeah, you're like, roast the shit out of me, bye. Yeah, exactly. I also feel like the funerals are such a good character generator because it's your love language, but I actually struggle to roast people,

even though I kind of roast them daily. I love to roast them all the time. Yeah, you've been roasting me right now. But I find it very hard to sit down and write roasts for people. So what I loved about the funerals is I was like, oh, I can be a character. So essentially I'm just going to roast my own character. But you're just so good at character work. You're just so good at it.

You're so good at it. It's insane. Yeah, because in yours, your rebuttal was you just impersonated everyone. And you nailed it so much that it. Oh, that was so. And I remember we had jeremy as the writer so he was like anything i can do to help i was like i'm gonna say this does this sound weird he's like yeah but i don't know it's your head i don't know you just do what feels good and he was very supportive and i was like okay so when i did the rebuttal of everyone's impressions, I was like, I hope this works. It was great.

And I was just so in it. But I remember after my funeral, I was so like overwhelmed with love, you know, because when you get roasted, you're like, and I remember turning being like, and Angela was like, are you okay?

She was like, you look like sick after. And I was like, no, I was fine. I mean, I guess maybe I was like, no, I was fine. I mean, I guess, maybe. I was overwhelmed.

Getting roasted is overwhelming. It's very emotionally overwhelming, yeah. I got lucky because my funeral was the first. So mine was very mild compared to everyone. Did I? You weren't. Did I? You were not in that one, no.

Yeah. But ever since then, I've been working on my Amanda impression. OK. Do you want to? So I'll do a mild version. What? I'll do a mild version of it. This is news to me.

So my very, very basic level impression of Amanda. It's mostly physical. So for audio listeners, I'm sorry. You'll just have to think about this. But it'd be like you say something to me, like you just say some sort of crazy news. And then Amanda goes like this. She goes. Yes. A grab and turn. Yes. A little nod.

Yes. And then Amanda, after she grabs your arm she does do a little bit of this. I do. She like makes sure that she grabs every muscle of your arm. She starts here down by the elbow tricep, moves over to bicep. Moves up the shoulder. A theater kid through and through

I know it's like how are you I like it it's so comforting I'm not thinking about muscle I don't know No I love touching people too When I laugh I touch people And I'm the opposite I'm not like a touchy No you're not a touchy So Amanda will just

But I don't care if someone touches me I'm just I'm not going to touch other people. But I think it must look really funny when Amanda just grabs my arm and she's touching me, and I'm just standing still like I'm a mannequin at a Nordstrom. It's true. I'll be like, so how are you feeling today? He's like, pretty good. Shane's like stances sometimes and like how he used to walk.

Like it's very NPC-like. It's just very like. I think it's gotten a little more fluid over the years. A little more. We've hugged. Yes, I hug people. I'm not scared of hugging people. No, I know that.

I just don't grab people's arms. Not that there's anything wrong with it. When I grab your arm, I feel like you're like, this is good. We're good. Yeah, I don't mind it. I don't mind it. I don't resist it. As an arm grabber, I feel like you're like, this is good. We're good. Yeah, I don't mind it. I don't mind it. I don't resist it. As an arm grabber, I've experienced people that I've grabbed

and then I feel their whole body recoil. And I'm like, uh. And then what happens with me, I won't pull away because I'm embarrassed. So I just keep going harder. You then double hand grab. I think we are the same person. Then I'm like, let me just kind of rub now.

It's terrible. You just jack off your arm now. Eventually you'll be comfortable. You'll like this. You will like this. Jack off the arm. I like that Amanda, when meeting someone, is like two steps away from doing Brazilian jiu-jitsu on them.

You are right away from throwing them over. I have too much pride that I'm like, it is too embarrassing for me to recoil. So I just go deeper. And then sometimes I'll turn them towards me and then grab my other arm and go for a hug. You've done it to complete strangers too. I have. I jacked off a guy's arm for a hug. You've done it to complete strangers, too. I have.

I jacked off a guy's arm for a long time. Talk about the internet thing. I told this already. He was an actor. I thought I knew him. He was on Orange is the New Black, and I jacked off his arm for probably 10 minutes. He jacked off his arm. I was a bartender.

He just wanted to know where the bathroom was, And I was like, we're catching up. I told this story and I was like, God damn it, Amanda. Why didn't you just let go? I couldn't. My brain was like, let him go. I know. I know. I have those conversations in my head all the time.

Like whether I'm speaking or actioning or anything the whole time time I'm screaming in my head, Sarah, fucking stop it. Like, stop it. Why can't we stop it? And the body is just doing its own thing. The body's like, this'll work. My pride. You gotta commit all the way. I'm kind of jealous because I'm the polar opposite where I won't be doing something and my body's like, do that.

Do it. Be a person right now. And I'm there just like, not moving. It's like, say hello right now. And I'm there just like not moving. It's like say hello right now. The like dial up internet sound. Meanwhile it's me. It's just like crashing and screaming in my head while I'm just being too much.

Walk away. Chaos Elmo and there's like ah! Walk away Amanda. And I'm like and then I'll be like can I touch your Amanda! And I'm like, and then I'll be like, can I touch your hair? And I'm like, you have done it. You need to go away. But then my hand is on their hair, and it's too late. I've seen it happen with Shane, where I see it,

and it's like, I know he wants to touch that person and hug that person and talk to that person, but his body's like. And his mind is like. And so maybe, I don't know, sometimes. Then I'll just grab his back and then I'll start rubbing his back. I don't know what happens.

I think it's really like, you know, you gotta know the person. I'm trying to, you know, that's what I've, that's what we'll improve on. It's like, we're just like. Tell me. You know, if we know the person, we can do a little more jack off if we want.

I'll try. Like if you don't know, maybe don't start with the arm jack off. I'll try. It's just once. I regret using that wording earlier. I'll try. If you don't, no, maybe don't start with the arm jack off. I'll try. It's just once. I regret using that wording. I'll try.

You're using it a lot now. If a server's nice to me, I'll start going for the wrist and go right up the arm. It's horrible. You're going to be like such a nice like 50, 60 year old. I'm going to be like dying. You know what? I'm glad I don't do this. I think coming from me, I think this would not go well for me. Sarah and I have gotten really close to people that we don't know and we'll never see again.

I think it's fine. It'll be fine. It's honestly, I will say it does help me with characters because once you touch someone that doesn't want to be touched or does, you really kind of get in their head. I don't think you want to say that. What the hell are you saying, Amanda? I don't think Amanda... Here's the good thing. I'm ruining their day.

Tearful apology video coming soon. Here's the thing. Or even like with my sisters when they're like upset or something and I still, my body's like, touch their arm, and I know they don't want to be touched, but it's too late. My body goes. And then you experience what it's like, and they turn to you and they're like, yeah, I

just don't want to be touched right now. And you're like, yes. All right. And then you grab their arm. And then you do a full hug. I hear you. I get it. And then you do a full hug. I hear you. I get it. And I respect your space.

Is that how you flirted with your husband? No, my husband flirted with me first. But he was very respectful. He wrote his phone number and he was like, Hello, I want to take you on a date. I like your voice. This episode is brought to you by MeUndies. You know, the thing about being a guy is we're pretty much stuck

husband, got a day. Yeah, we got them from the same website. Yeah. God. We were like, okay. Everyone. Got a J. Yeah, we got them from the same website. Yeah. God. We were like, okay. Everyone I touch recoils. So, shall I look up husbands from not America? This is like Passport Bros. This is terrible.

Yeah, yeah. It's just like Passport Bros. That's not true. No, they find out. It turns out you are a passport. Yeah. No, I, hey, when he asked me out, I told you this story. I was like, no. Really? No, I, hey, when he asked me out, I told you this story. I was like, no.

Really? Yeah, I was involved with someone else, and I was just like, no. But I remember I still thought about him. And he was just, he was very tall, like your husband. How tall is your husband? 6'2". Okay. So, Gart is like 6'3", or 6'4", something like that.

But I was like, when he came up to me, it was a presence. Yeah. And he has really long hair. Oh. And I was like, whoa. Yeah. It was really, really refreshing. Nice.

Very nice. Yeah. I made out with my husband within like two minutes of meeting him. Okay. Okay. Pretty cool. He was like, hello, it's nice to meet you. And you're like, oh.

You're like, hello. She started at the wrist and went up the arm. You joke, but that's kind of how it happened. Where did it happen? It happened in this bar on the west side that used to be like my, you know. Watering hole? Watering hole, yes. No, but not actually the watering hole.

It was Busby's West. Okay. And I would go there all the time. And, yeah, it was like a mutual friend's birthday party and he was wearing like this sweater and he's like tall and had these glasses so he was talking to another italian gal that i just happened to like know through friends and um i was like oh perfect this is my way in like i'm gonna introduce myself so i like kind of crashed their conversation and i was like hi i'm sarah and i had like a wine a wine at that point maybe two wines and um you're like hi i'm

sarah no not like that no give me a cut no not like that no she was cool it was a lot more cool than that and it was very cool and hot and everything i'm sure it was very sexy i was like hi i'm sarah and he was like hello i'm cla and hot and everything. I'm sure it was. Very sexy. And I was like, hi, I'm Sarah. And he was like, hello, I'm Claudio. And I was like, okay, our mouths need to meet each other as soon as possible. That's a great impression. Thank you. That's really good.

I suck at my impression of my husband. Shane has quite the impression of my husband. Let me hear. Yeah. Claudio. It's Claudio. He sounds like this. He's Claudio.

Yeah. You know? Okay. Okay. I'm one of the five. Now you soundio. He sounds like this. It's Claudio. You know? Okay. Okay. Now you sound like you're from New York. But yeah, Claudio recorded a voice message. Okay, let's hear it. Because he wanted to.

What I was always impersonating was him saying your name. It was like, Sarawidl. That's pretty good. Yeah. Yeah, Claudio. Sarawidl. So this is Claudio's voice message to everyone here at Smosh. Okay.

Oh, hell yeah. Are you and Shane? Is he and Shane the same person? That's awesome. Dude, that was a good one. Wasn't it so good? That was impressive as hell! Mine's so weak compared to that.

It had so many, like... There's levels! It continues! It keeps going! I love that Claudio is standing, like, ten feet away! He's right there! He's, like 10 feet away. He's right there. He's like bright red. He's bright red.

This is my favorite thing because I was saying to him that I love Guess the Fart. Do you know what Guess the Fart is on Instagram? Guess Who's Gas. Yes, yes. Guess Who's Gas. Yeah, it's a podcast that they do. They do this game. There's a hashtag called Guess the Fart.

Oh, and they go like, oh, Guess the Fart. It's like Guess the Fart and then you fart. Guess the Fart. Oh, and they go like, oh, guess the fart. It's like guess the fart and then you fart. But you know what you guys could do is steal it from that radio show podcast. They do Guess Who's Gas and they have all the cast members record their farts and they play farts and they go, who? Okay, next new show. Okay, yeah. I've already heard Shane's fart and he laughed so hard at it. He really did.

My life goal was always to like, I always was so scared to go on Try Not to Laugh, because I'm not a bits person. I think I'm more of, like, I can react off of people and be funny that way, but I'm not someone that's like, I'm going to come out and do a bit. Like, we actually canceled my episode. Oops. We actually canceled. Because you were so lame.

I just, like, get too much in my head and then it's like bad you know you have a bad night of improv that yeah you're like in the car replaying everything exactly improv yeah um but uh try not to laugh like my dream goal would always be to just like walk on set and just like rip the biggest fart and then walk i know it's the goal my goal to make but like it's hard to time that out yeah you, you gotta be like, it's my turn. It's my turn. I'll go. And people are like, no, actually, I'm ready

because I have a character. And you're like, I'll go. All right, Courtney's coming up. No, no, it's my turn. Guys, let's get this over with. Dude, the hardest, we laughed so hard on this fucking podcast About farts

I know, it always comes down to farts And you know when I'm around, there's farts Yeah, that's kind of your brand Is it? Because I love farts too Sorry, I took us off of the husband No, it's fine I was going to try to ask

What are the benefits of a tall European husband? Like that's a lifestyle? Should I seek one out myself? Yes. Shane, yes. I'm looking for a tall Spaniard husband. Yes. Oh, Spaniard.

Yes, Shane, you should. Okay. Because everything is different. Food. Oh. Talking to their mother. Yes. Because everything is different. Yeah. Food. Oh. Talking to their mother. Yes.

You know what's amazing? Are you trying to learn? Here's the thing. Okay. I do want to learn Russian, and his mom says, don't do it. Don't do it. It's very hard. Very, very hard. Don't do it.

Very hard. Very, very hard. You're very stupid. Very, very hard. It's very hard. You're very stupid. You're very stupid. Because when I first started dating Garnier, which I still do, I called him Garnier.

And she was like, what is that? Who is this? Garnier. Garnier. And I was like, Garnier. His name is Garnier. Garnier. Garnier.

But they talk, they speak in Russian to each other. And it's kind of nice because then it's like, I just get to sit on the side and not be involved. You don't worry about what they're saying? No. She's just there like. No, she's amazing. But once she knows I'm there, she'll switch to English and then involve me. Oh, that's nice.

That's very nice. But also it's like you guys do your thing. I'm the type of person that I hate getting the phone passed to me. You know, like at Thanksgiving. It's like, do you want to talk to your aunt? And you're like, no. No, it's okay. It is tough. Just relay that I love her. And it's like, I'm passing to talk to your aunt? And you're like, no. No, it's okay. Just relay that I love her.

And it's like, I'm passing the phone. Yeah, I get that. I'd rather just them work it out. It's kind of nice. They talk every day. Yeah. That's another thing. I don't know about you.

Yeah, my husband, he talks to his family pretty often. Yeah, he talks to his mom every day. But I think that's good. I think that's very good. I call my mom, you know, my mom and I talk on the phone maybe like every 10 years or something. No, I'm just kidding. I love my mom, but we're not phone people. No, same.

Same with me. We're texters. My mom just like kind of sees me on social and she's like, she's doing good. You're doing great. My mom will text me. She'll go, went to the dinner. I want to know. Coming home.

She writes hieroglyphics yeah that's the same with my mom so like our wedding really was like the the like um it was like a world summit because my mom's full korean my dad's like white grandpa's from like kentucky nebraska and then we have like the italian my grandpa's the colonel yeah and then we then we have this Italian side of the family. And, like, our wedding in Italy was the first time, like, everyone had actually met. And that was crazy. That is crazy. Yeah.

First time. Yeah. And then we did, like, a three-week, like, Italian tour in. Should I tell the story, Claudio? Yes. Okay. We're going to bring it back to farts. Oh, please.

All right. Always come back to farts. So. Oh please. Alright. Always come back to farts. So we were doing this like three week Italian tour with like his parents, my parents, like our family, like right after our wedding, you know, big family vacation. And so we found this one place in Florence that like was just basically one big room

with like a couple side rooms. So like my grandpa and his girlfriend got a separate room. Me and Claudio got a separate room, but then our parents had to be like one on the couch and one in like, kind of like a loft area. So like his parents were up in the loft area. My parents were like down there and my parents let it go. Like let it go most of the time,

but I thought they'd be on their best behavior. This is like the first week of the new in-laws. Like, let it go most of the time. But I thought they'd be on their best behavior. This is like the first week of the new in-laws. Anyway, we're getting ready for bed. And my parents are just ripping ass and burping. Like, it's just like another night in Wyoming. Like, they're just like being themselves. So I hear this from the other room. And I'm like, oh, my God.

You hear the farts from the other room? Yes, yes. And so I go to my parents. Whoa! Did you ever think maybe they were playing Banjo-Kazooie? And the new in-laws are up there, and they're Italian. They don't speak the same language. And I come up to my parents, and I say, can you fucking not do this shit?

They're going to think they got married into some unpopular family. Stop shitting yourself! It's a fart house! Stop shitting yourself! I was like, can you stop? It's a fart family! We just married into this family and you cannot be acting like that. And my mom the whole time is covering her mouth, fanning the air, because the fart was so stinky bad.

My dad is crying, laughing, and I'm like, oh my god, what's happening? Claudio's talking to his parents, they're like, I can't believe that they're just doing this. They're doing this, and I'm like, oh my god, what's happening? Claudio's talking to his parents, they're like, I can't believe that they're just doing this. They're doing this, and I'm like, oh my God. Can you just, this is the only Airbnb that we're sharing with the new in-laws. Can you shut your assholes, please?

Please. You're like, we're trying, help us, help. Italian food, help. The change in elevation. Sarah, Sarah, we don't feel well. You're like, shut up. Shut up. Stop farting.

So that was like the first couple of days after this three week long vacation and also lifetime of families put together. Now that's what Claudio's family thinks Americans are like. Yeah. Wow, so they just fart all the time. They are. We're disgusting. Yeah, we are like that wait that's crazy also to have like a three-week like vacation hang is amazing yeah but i wouldn't recommend like doing like a family vacation right after your wedding because you know after the wedding i do want to be married you want to have

the thing so we really got to a breaking point by like our third city where we were in venice and i was like everyone is fucking breaking off okay i've been married to this guy for like a week and a half and we haven't had one second alone together so like please leave us alone and um that's what happened and then my parents ended up getting lost in venice which is the smallest place on earth. Yeah, exactly. And I was like, you figure it out. You guys figure it out. I think that that's really good advice because my sister got married to a man from Ireland and they had his whole family stay with them after the wedding.

This was years ago. And she was like, don't do it, Amanda. Don't do it. And I was like, oh, okay. And I didn't. Yeah. And how do you feel about that? I feel really good,

but I will say like, you know, I couldn't have Garde's dad or anyone there because they're all in Belarus. And so we had like 30 people. His mom, three days before the wedding was like, okay,

Amanda, I want to have, I want to have people from Belarus, Russia, St. Petersburg to watch. How? And I was like, I don't know. I am sick. I'm gonna be in bed. I'm stressed.

I was so stressed like three days before and she was like, okay, okay. I'm going to find a way to get cameras and a man. Okay. Do not worry. We to find a way to get cameras and a man. Okay. Do not worry. I will find a man.

Don't worry. And cameras. I will find a man and cameras, and we will go to Russia. You're like, are you going to kill someone? I was like, what? There's just snipers? But she did find a man who had big headphones. He was bald.

He was right by the court stairs. And I was like, who's that guy? And he had like three cameras and he looked like he was DJing, but he wasn't 30 people from Belarus and Russia watched our wedding. It happened. So I didn't have the opera. Like I think if they were there in person,

it would have been a different story. Yeah. Yeah. Right. Yeah. It was just his mom and his two sisters who were there., it would have been a different story. Yeah. Yeah. Right? Yeah. A hundred percent. Yeah. It was just his mom and his two sisters who were there. Got it.

Got it. Got it. Yeah. That's sweet. Yeah. But his dad and other sister and all of his aunts and uncles watched the wedding. Pretty cool. They're still talking about it.

Yeah. That's very, very cool. That's really awesome. So if they were there in person, it might have been different. We probably would have had his dad. Yeah. Who knows one word in English. Nice. Nice.

Victory. Curtis, like, man is going to audition. He goes, victory. That's so sweet. Very sweet. He's very sweet. Yeah, he wears like a wife beater and has a gold chain and smokes cigarettes. I know it sounds weird, but that's what he does.

That's exactly what I pictured. I like that, Amanda, your husband, every time I've seen him, he is wearing Smosh merch. Oh. Every time I've seen him, he's wearing a Smosh merch.

Yeah, I think he's having great husbands. I think the advice is just find a good partner. Yeah, that's what's tricky. It's like, yeah, they're European, but they he's having great husbands. I think the advice is just find a good partner. Yeah, that's what's tricky. It's like, yeah, they're European, but they're also just great.

They're very great husbands. I'm speaking for mine. She's speaking for hers. But we're the same person. Great husbands. Great husbands. Yeah. Highly recommend getting a husband.

Yeah, get a husband, Shane. All right, I'll think about it. Has to be 6'2 and up. Yes. All right. Well, for you, 5'8. Great. The fuck is this

god damn we went like two minutes literally your shirt says tall boys for short kings yeah it's a joke like tall boy beers tall boys for sure did you say it's a joke yeah he does yeah it's a joke dude because like i'm glad sarah's here to protect me i feel like i roast him what do you feel bad you think How do you think the vibe would be If I swore up and down that I was not short What if I was just like guys I'm not short We wouldn't be close We probably wouldn't be friends

We wouldn't be doing this podcast Because I'd be like you are in denial You need to stop it You need to shut up The thing is I don't look at you as the shortest No Boom Wide You need to stop it. You need to shut up. The thing is, I don't look at you as like the shortest minute. No, no. Because you're like, boom, wide.

In like a good way, you know? You're like compact. It's like when I touch someone's arm. You're like a Prius. I go too far on my words. You're like a Prius C. You're good on mileage. Yeah.

You're compact. Hey, that's better. Tommy said what? That I'm a Camry? He keeps comparing him to cars. A Camry? He said I'm a Honda Civic. He also said he's sexless.

Yeah. Tommy said I give off sexless. I agree. What the fuck? What? I don't agree with that. Sarah, it's been great having you on. I wouldn't say sensual.

I'm not doing this. I'm not going down this road. Okay? I've already said enough. I've already said enough. You're fine. You're great. You're great. You're a sexy guy. I've come to the podcast to break down all relationships. You're a sex machine.

Sarah! Sarah! We're going to finish this podcast and just go, yeah, that went well. What the fuck was that? Sarah Sarah We're gonna finish this podcast and just go Yeah that went well Are you okay? We don't need to do this anymore You're great You're a great guy

How's life after What are we doing? I don't know what to ask now Alright so how do we pivot The best I've ever felt I don't know what to ask now. All right, so how do we pivot? Smosh is the best I've ever felt. No. I don't know. I think I said it a little bit in the video we shot earlier today,

but I'm enjoying seeing you guys as a fan. So I'm genuinely very proud. I have a little bit of FOMO. I'm also like, guys, this is... But I also had this feeling when I was here at Smosh. It's like, this is your guys' jobs. How had this feeling when I was here at Smosh. It's like this is your guys's like jobs How freaking cool is that? It's the weirdest job. There's no job I think there's not many jobs out there as weird as this like unless you're dude perfect or something like it's it's not

This this is it's such a unique environment So I think it's like whether people stay a long time or for a short time like it's a very fun experience It's amazing. That's why when people are like, are you are you happy with your a short time, like it's a very fun experience. It's amazing. That's why when people are like, are you, are you happy with your schedule? I'm like,

what do you mean? I'm in paradise. What? I don't care. Serve me any food. I don't care. Yeah. You get to perform. They get little snacks.

As a performer who has performed always on stage for free, always, like always, it was like money was never an option. It was like, here's 10 bucks. Cause ticket sales were good. It was like money was never an option. It was like here's 10 bucks because ticket sales were good. It's like oh my God. We're going traveling.

It's like I get paid to come to this job is amazing. Yeah. Amazing. We get to tell these stories. Oh God. Goodness. Yeah.

Sex machine. But you've continued to perform and stuff even after you left because you were you were at least at times you're very active on tiktok yeah um yeah i like would do a lot of hair dyeing videos like i i don't do niche stuff like i've always been a content creator like since the internet started like i went to school for television production so that's kind of like always how i've like gotten my creative outlet out. So like when TikTok started, like every day, Claudia was like, why don't you have a TikTok? Why don't you have a TikTok? Why don't you have a TikTok? Wow. Good husband. So yeah. And he always does that with a lot of stuff. And so,

um, because it's so, it's so good. I love watching your content. No, truly. I love it. Your editing is so good, especially when you're traveling and you do this thing where you change your background. Like you make it like beautiful and interesting and colorful and creative. And I just, I don't know what it is. Your content gives off this like positive vibe. Yes. But also not like picture perfect.

Yes. Like it's like untouchable. Yeah. I still feel like I could like sit on the couch with you and like watch a movie. Well, because that's kind of like more my life. I'm not like a perfect person. So I don't try to be. And I think like I always want to exercise that because even though I've left Smosh,

I still very much work in social for my nine to five. So it's like I want to stay, you know, people always ask me, how do you stay up on trends or how do you do this? And I'm like, you just got to be an actual user of it. you got to be you have to be watching you got to be in it like there's no like maybe ai will change that but it's like you know there there's no substitution for like being a creator in the space and like knowing it from that angle and because my background's here i've worked for e like created television shows like that's how my brain thinks. So TikTok's always just been a creative venture. But last year, I was kind of like,

maybe I should try YouTube. And I tried YouTube. It was really hard to do it by yourself. I knew that. But it's very hard to do it by yourself. And so last year was really about calibrating what's my life about outside of work, outside of videos and social media.

And so this year I feel like I've gotten to a really, really good place where I'm like, I just wanna fuel my creativity not for an algorithm and outside of it because I also think I'm such a perfectionist with my videos. Everything, in a way of I don't try to show my life picture perfect, the lip sync has to be perfect. I have to pick the perfect song.

I have to get the right edits. I have to get the right font. Like I'm a perfectionist and like that is like kind of burning me out. So I'm like I kind of need to make art offline and like push myself through like just not perfection art. You need to fill up your cup offline. Because sometimes when we put it online for people to see that's when we get nitpicky and that's that's when i watch your content i'm like oh i feel so good because you did all the work behind the scenes to make it

to make me watch it like effortlessly right exactly so i'm feeling relaxed yeah but it's stressful for me yeah yeah so you did so much work but i do think as artists we have to go off and and kind of fuck it up and mess up exactly doing something else like something we're not really that good at exactly so like for me you guys know i love sewing my crazy little outfits and stuff so it's like now i'm just like on this mission to make like all my clothes not boring and stuff and i just like lock myself in my basement and like push through and like upcycle things and i'm like if plan a b c d doesn't work like sarah you just have to push through because my natural inclination is like throw it away i'm like it's not good enough it's not perfect it's like whatever and i'm really trying to like push myself to just like push

through the like perfection idea i have for like being immediately good at something or immediately my vision coming to life because I can do that so easily with videos you can but not with the other stuff it's not satisfying then you know and then it's not satisfying if you are immediately good at it because then you're like cool I did it okay yep and I think you're you're stuck like I've never seen you wear wear a boring outfit no no Sarah I don't I don't know if I've never seen you wear a boring outfit. No. No, Sarah. I don't know if I've ever seen you wear the same outfit twice. Literally. And they're always the most insane thing I've ever seen in my life. And your hair.

Thank you. So your hair. Chop, chop. We chopped off like inches. Chop, chop your hair. This is the most normal your hair has looked in a long time. Since my wedding, I think. Yeah.

It's stunning. Thank you. Your hair is gorgeous. So I hear that you are done dyeing your hair. Done dyeing my hair hair forever or just for now you know as an aquarius you know i'm an aquarius we change our minds every fucking season of every fucking day yes in this moment right now i don't want to dye my hair but who knows next week maybe it'll change maybe it'll be purple uh because initially i wanted to like just get a trim

and then aiden just gone three days later um so yeah, I think I'm done dying my hair because I did a whole video on my like Instagram and TikTok is like I was kind of like dying my hair because I love dying my hair bright colors, but also like doing it to create the videos and like, yeah, do that. It was a lot of time and effort. And like, you know, sometimes it would be like five hours, six hours of me in the bathroom, like lip-seeking to things then editing it then also washing my hair then doing my hair then doing the after and everything like that so it became labor intensive and it got to a point where i was like why am i

doing this like why am i dying my hair and so i want to sit take that time back and focus it on other things yeah yeah absolutely yeah so it's as simple as that. And your hair is such a beautiful color right now. Thank you. And it's actually not exactly what we thought. So it's like I did a round of bleach and then they did color remover and then some highlights and it was still bright ass red pink.

So she was like, we can't get your hair to where you wanted it to be because hair just be hair. And so now we're like this little like Emma Stone vibe a little bit. Pretty great. It's so Emma Stone. Pretty good. It is very Emma Stone.

Which I've gotten her the most. You do look like her, yeah. Elizabeth Banks, I think like those are. Elizabeth Banks, smile. And then Brie Larson I've also gotten too. No, you don't see that. See, my husband says Brie Larson the most. I don't know.

But all of these are polite. The one I get also is Deb from Napoleon Dynamite. Oh, fun. Real fun. Do you get told you look like anybody, Shane? Famous? The guy from the Goldbergs. Yeah, the guy from the Goldbergs.

And iCarly. And iCarly. And iCarly. Not a ton. There's that guy. You get someone. There's that guy. This is someone. There's that guy. This is like back in the day when my hair was longer.

I would get the guy from Party Down, the blonde guy from that show. Yeah, you said this on the podcast and I still don't. Okay, goddamn. Uh, sometimes I don't, I don't, I'm just saying what some people have said. Uh, just I think more in like the vibe, but Taron Egerton from like the Kingsman and stuff. Oh, I see that. Okay. I can see that. I see that. I can see that one. What about you, Amanda?

I don't know. That one girl from the second season of White Lotus. Second season of White Lotus? Aubrey Plaza? Not Aubrey Plaza. It's one of the two girls who are trying to...

Oh, the prostitutes? Yeah. They were hot. The one of the two girls who are like trying to... Oh, the prostitutes? Yeah. Oh, that's actually a great compliment. They were hot. The one with the short hair? Yeah. Oh, wow. I think that's a similar vibe. That's the best compliment you've ever given me. Similar vibe. I am a prostitute in Italy, and I love that. Honestly, she was the

hottest thing. They both were so hot. Yeah. She was so... I feel like everyone in White Lotus is attractive. With her star earrings playing the piano? Yeah. That was my favorite season of White Lotus. Yeah, I like season two. Ah, because season one was too cringy. We've talked about, going back,

we've talked about possibly dying our hair this year. Really? Here's the thing. I've never dyed my hair. I've never dyed my hair like a color. I have virgin hair. I dyed my hair. My hair was like My hair was black. My hair was, yeah, really dark when I first joined Smosh.

But I haven't ever dyed it like a crazy color. Oh, yeah, because we have predictions. Yeah, we have predictions. We were going to do an end segment. I think an end segment could just be us revisiting these because you realized that one of them has been fulfilled on yours. Oh yeah.

Sarah Christ fell in love. Yeah. Oh yeah. It's fan fiction. Yeah. They made a whole redacted. Fell in love with a good man that she'll resist. I think redacted is good for her.

I think he's good for her. Sure. As, as she said, that's the healthiest relationship she's ever been in. That's so true. So that kind ever been in. That's so true. So that kind of did happen. You're so right.

Mine, nothing has yet to happen. Angela will book something very big. Well, Angela went to Sundance this year, so that's very big. So I think that. I think she, I'm still holding out hope. I think she might book something. Anthony will shave his head. Now I'm thinking that won't happen.

That won't happen. But one of us could do it So you never know And I will meet Keith Morrison from Dateline NBC Also could happen I don't have a crush on him or anything Not like that It's just I love Dateline NBC

And one of your predictions There's going to be a Smosh baby We're running out of time for that to happen This year I think well who knows maybe a baby is an idea that's true that's true a movie can be a baby a show can be a baby

you know anything there will be a Smosh baby yeah my predictions are hidden underneath there JFK Marilyn Monroe truth exposed yeah what does that mean I don't know that she was murdered by JFK? Yeah, that's a fact.

Okay. I predicted that Smosh will end up on Good Morning America. Oh, that's great. Still hasn't happened. Bigfoot will be revealed, will be proven to be true,

but that it's extinct. Oh, okay, okay. Timothee Chalamet breakdances. I think he already did that on SNL, didn't he? No, he didn't. No.

But Dune 2 opens up a lot of possibilities. Okay. Amanda books the role as mom. Guys, watch all my commercials. It's already there. And I have a prediction that we will have an episode that hits a million in a week. I think if we have an episode that hits a million in a week, I will dye my hair. Oh, I like that.

We'll figure out what color. But, you know, maybe what color should I dye my hair. What color? I like that. We'll figure out what color. But, you know, maybe, what? What color should I dye my hair? Bright? Purple, like Damien back in the day. Right, purple? No, I'm kidding. I don't know. I think like a pink would be awesome. Ooh, pink could be cool. Like Aaron's pink, like a soft

pink would be sweet. That could be really cool. This also could look sick. It'd be a little different. Not as extreme, but if I just fully bleached my hair. Yes. And then dye it pink. Okay. I don't know about you with bleached hair, boo.

You know who looks really good with bleached hair? Spencer. Every time I see him. Even when it was grown out, when it was closely shaven, he looks freaking good with a bleached hair. Sarah, I said this to him last week. I said, you looked so good with bleached hair at VidCon two years ago. The shaved bleached hair. It looks so good.

Oh, my God. I know. Sarah. Yes. This has been great. Thank you guys so much for having me. This was so fun. We love you.

And I love you guys. If you were to come back for a day, what would you want to do the most? If you were to come back for one day? I think the next time I come back, I want to play a game like I want to play okay, okay? Yeah, okay, okay, yeah, I can improvise character plot one. I don't know We'll find out like being the street man We also we also what if we also got you on an episode where everyone's the chosen and you have to be a chosen as well? Because you were there for the creation of the chosen, but you never played. I played a chosen.

It's very fun. Oh, my God. Amanda's chosen is insane. My chosen was so aggressive. So insane. I think it would be pretty funny. I think I could do it. Okay.

Maybe. Sarah, we love you. You're always welcome back here anytime. Aw, that's very sweet. Can you believe almost three years? That is actually insane. I refuse to believe. Three years since I left. That means I've been here a long time. Oh, that's very sweet. Can you believe almost three years? That is actually insane. I refused to believe. Three years since I left.

That means I've been here for a long time. That's crazy. Well, our mom is here. Our mom is here and stepmom, this is the movie
