Welcome back to Smosh Mouth.
I'm Shane. And I'm Amanda.
And we have a very, very, very special guest
with us today, Olivia Sui.
Hi, everyone. I'm here doing press
because
I, I mean, I don't know if you guys saw my deadline or my variety article.
Yeah.
I heard about it.
Yeah.
I heard about it.
Yeah.
You got on a big show.
I got on a huge show reoccurring.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And the show is called Cops.
My dream, but I'll let that go.
You just wrapped.
We just wrapped the last season.
How many episodes did you shoot for?
I was in 20 out of 80 episodes.
That's crazy.
So you really were repeating quite a bit.
Yeah, we're shooting about like 10 episodes a day.
That's exhausting.
That's amazing.
Not when you love it.
It's not exhausting when work is your passion.
What was lunch like on those days?
Just like local 7-Eleven boiled eggs.
Just roast beef sandwiches.
A lot of boiled eggs.
Wow.
And a lot of rock star energy.
Okay.
That makes sense.
For those listening, Olivia's makeup today is on point, I just want to say.
It's in its pre-stages.
No, it's at its final stage.
Oh, it's at its final stage?
All right, great.
I think Cops has changed you.
I'm famous now, so.
Well, it's an honor to have you here.
It's an honor.
Of course.
Acclaimed performer, Olivia Sway.
I'm doing, after this,
I'll be doing press at Crackle.
Okay.
And then I'm gonna
do Fallon tonight.
Wow, that's really good.
I don't know what
any of those are
and that sounds awesome.
You're gonna have to
fly to New York
for Fallon.
Oh, Fallon,
Jimmy Fallon.
Yeah, I love that
it's just last name only.
I'm gonna go there
and do YouTube challenges.
Right, and then
immediately I'm flying
to Kensington Palace. You could probably actually get in. Okay then immediately I'm flying to Kensington Palace.
You could probably actually get in.
Miss I don't know Harambe.
Yeah.
Let's talk about that.
Yeah.
Let's talk about it.
That happened about a month ago.
That happened about a month ago.
As of this airing.
Pretty incredible.
The internet was taken by storm by you not knowing Harambe.
I genuinely didn't know and
friends from home were like it was so your reaction was so genuine like that is you like
kind of laughing in a way of like what uh-huh and then like getting immediately into action
of like a plan do you know how much research i did after that episode of what happened of why
it happened of where the kid is yeah where's the kid
well don't know well first of all because i wasn't expecting that conversation to come up when we
talked about it yeah i hadn't watched the video in like eight years so when i was talking about
it i was just like oh yeah the gorilla was looking at him i did forget that harambe did drag the kid
around um yeah so there was some justification
there, but still.
Don't even get me started.
To me, it was just insane that you just didn't know about it.
I had no idea.
And I asked my friend from home, and
she didn't know either, and she was horrified.
But my sister knew.
Of course, your sister is a gamer.
If you're online at all,
you know about Harambe.
How did you miss Harambe?
I also forgot, Olivia, you were mentioning this morning how you found out about Harambe.
It was a confusing time for me.
Okay.
Pre-Cops.
Pre-Cops.
I don't remember who I was.
Yeah, this is 2016.
Pre-fame.
2016?
This was 2016.
You said that you found out about him.
Yeah, I was hearing people talk about Harambe.
I didn't really know what was happening and people kept making jokes.
And then I started actually understanding the scope of the story when during the election, when people were writing Harambe on.
He got the fourth most votes that year.
I guess I didn't vote that year.
Because I guess I missed that?
No, no, no. He's not on the ballot.
He wasn't on the ballot.
He was righted.
Wait, Harambe is a male?
Yeah.
Oh, Harambe?
He was a silverback gorilla.
Yeah, he was a silverback gorilla.
Can a silverback gorilla also could be female?
I don't think.
I'm not a biologist, but I don't think so.
Stop.
We're just YouTubers.
Oh, my God.
I thought the whole thing was sad.
I thought people were like, oh, like Harambe just thought that kid was her child.
No.
Am I talking about a different?
There was a different one back in the day Back in the 90s
Don't even get me going
No back in the 90s
Oh yes
There was another kid
Who fell into a gorilla pit
Yes
And a female gorilla came up
And like protected him
Yes
And took care of him
And kept the other gorillas away
Yes
And then they were able
To get the kid out
Yeah see
That also happened
Kids need to stop
Jumping into the gorilla pit
How did they even get in there?
That's where my thought was.
How did that kid even get into the gorilla pit?
I feel justified.
Okay, people might hate me for this.
I feel justified in calling these kids stupid.
Because I remember in the 90s when that kid fell into the gorilla pit, I was like seven years old.
And I remember me at seven being like, that kid's dumb. I'm seven years old and I would never jump in the gorilla pit. I was like seven years old. And I remember me at seven being like,
that kid's dumb.
I'm seven years old
and I would never jump into gorilla pit.
I feel like you learn pretty early on in life
that gorillas can kill you.
Why would you ever want to go?
What would cause you to go into the pit?
But I also know,
because I was also this type of thinker
and I still am,
when you're standing there,
a lot of those enclosures at the zoo are not blocking you from getting in.
Yeah.
You could hop in if you wanted, but there's a gigantic dangerous animal in there.
So I would have the intrusive thought of like, I could hop in there, but I'm obviously not going to do it.
Yeah.
But twice now in the past 30 years, kids have jumped in the gorilla pit.
Well, I've been getting a lot of messages that keep saying dicks out for Harambe.
Yes, that was a big move.
Yeah, what is that?
I had to really research.
It was just a meme.
I think it started on Vine.
Just like dicks out for Harambe.
Tits out for Harambe.
I would love to see some people get into like an aquarium.
Oh, that's also, that happened recently, like a couple months ago.
What?
That happened at a Bass Pro Shop.
A guy jumped in.
That's not an aquarium.
It was a big,
big gigantic tank.
No, Bass Pro Shops are gigantic
and he jumped in like
the big fountain tank naked
and then he leapt out of it
and fell like it was like 15 feet.
He fell and got fucked up and the cops show up and arrested him.
I've never been to a bass shop.
Is this a trick?
I'm not lying to you.
This is crazy.
This really happened.
Why did he want to go in naked?
I don't know.
Either he was really drunk or he was having a mental breakdown.
I'm a merman.
This guy jumped in fully naked into the tank at a bass pro shop.
That happened this year.
Did anyone...
Did he... We were there.
He jumped out, fell out very
awkwardly, landed on his ass, probably
broke some bones, and the cops showed up and just
aggressively arrested him. The cops
showed up? Yep. It was probably going to be on cops.
Well, I was the streaker.
You were the
naked man who fell clumsily on his
ass after jumping into the fountain
Oh the fall was brutal
He got out of the tank in the worst possible way
No
Do you want to know a dream of mine
So the aquarium in Boston
You can actually scuba dive in it
That's cool
And I've wanted to do it forever and have yet to do it
Okay well let's make it happen
Pretty cool
In Boston
You know that you can also scuba dive in the ocean Yeah and have yet to do it. Okay, well, let's make it happen. Pretty cool. In Boston?
Yeah.
Okay.
You know that you could also scuba dive in the ocean?
Yeah, and I can do that.
But not in the aquarium.
Can you imagine being underwater,
seeing people and fish?
I don't mean to be funny.
I genuinely... I just love that phrase.
Can you imagine scuba diving and seeing people?
And fish?
And fish?
I think I'm that dumb kid.
But I didn't go into the gorilla pit.
Oh, my God.
Anyways.
But yeah, I think that's maybe where you got confused.
Because did you remember the one in the 90s?
The gorilla in the 90s?
No, 0%.
Oh, man.
I love these gorilla stories
when they happen.
They're my people.com.
Where do I find
these gorilla stories?
Oh, why is people.com
not covering the gorilla stories?
Because they're...
People.com want
a little bit of flash
and glamour.
You don't know people.com?
Like People Magazine?
Yeah.
Why are you getting your news from people.com?
We can't go down this road.
This is a valid question, Olivia.
We cannot go down this road.
You're just on people.com?
Amanda is on people.com.
I've been validated.
No, you are?
Yes.
You're kidding.
I would love to be on it as a correspondent, but I'm not.
I am just a reader.
She gave up being a news reporter years ago.
Wait, isn't that like a tabloid magazine?
Yeah.
Correct.
Yeah, but they're the top.
But you get your news from it?
Yes, correct.
Why?
Well, because they're
incredible. They figured out that
two whales were having sex and they were both men.
And that was really cool. That was a really cool story.
So they are covering some animal
stories. Oh yeah, they love animals.
But as long as it has like a
positive. They're not people.
That's true.
I never thought of it like that.
Wow, good thing you're on Cops because you just
investigated so
much truth. I know.
You just blew up my world.
Wow.
You really are on cops.
Guys, whales are not people.
I can't make fun of you too much, Amanda.
Yes, you can.
No, because we're about to talk about today what I do, where I get a lot of my news, unfortunately.
Yeah.
On?
The theme of this episode that we haven't addressed yet is all about Reddit.
We're talking about...
Ah, yikes.
What?
What was that?
Sorry.
Okay, so we know...
She had a moment.
We know that, Amanda, you are not very online.
But I do know that the Harambe clip went on Reddit.
Oh, of course.
And it was like top on Reddit.
So before we get into talking about,
I'm going to talk about some of my favorite subreddits,
some weird subreddits, some of the weirdest
subreddits there are. There
is a subreddit called rfunny.
It's just funny stuff. I've seen that.
And the clip of you
not knowing Harambe got on there
and it's at like 60,000 upvotes.
Which is extreme for Reddit.
Great.
My fame is...
You're famous on Reddit.
Actually, I can't think of another time
when Smosh made it onto the front page of Reddit
besides Ian and Anthony's announcement.
Wow.
Like clips, like funny clips of ours
never make it onto Reddit.
And I love the title.
That's amazing.
I love the title that said, YouTuber
finds out about major life
event or major event.
Yeah. No.
A lot of people are sending me messages from home.
And they're basically saying, how did you not
know about Harambe? It is embarrassing.
Well, I have a question.
Yeah, what's up, Olivia?
Why does Reddit look
like that?
What do you mean?
It is very confusing.
It is confusing at first. I agree.
It's confusing at first, and then you start to...
Because I'm getting that confused with this other thing called Quora.
Quora?
I don't think I know Quora.
Quora is like when you ask, like, should my feet look like this?
And then there's like a bunch of people going like,
yes.
Oh.
Anyways.
Reddit has those corners too.
How do you navigate Reddit?
What about AskJeeves.com?
Oh, I love Jeeves.
So the way I can describe Reddit in a way,
I think Reddit is just a collection of a bunch of communities.
It's just forums where you go to these different forums
and you can post, make posts,
and comment on other people's posts.
There is a community for everything.
So anything you're into.
True crime webs list?
Absolutely.
There are probably a million true crime subreddits.
Well, they.
And also probably subreddits.
They get so specific.
I guarantee you there's a Gypsy Rose subreddit.
Oh.
Hundred percent.
Of course there is. There's one for
every crime that's ever been
committed. There's one for every case. The Golden State
Killer. Two of the web sleuths helped
her out during the Golden State
Killer when they were finding her. Yeah.
I'm sure there's aspects of Reddit
that are involved.
There's small things like
if you're into making bread, there's
Breadit where it's a subreddit
where people post the bread that they're making or ask questions about bread.
Very specific things.
There's fashion advice for men and women.
And you're just chatting with people you don't know?
People just post.
They post questions.
Can you talk?
Can you have a conversation?
Yeah.
So if you post a question, then people can comment and then you can respond.
Then the whole conversation threads.
But everyone sees it though. Yeah.
Can you have private messages? I think
there are private messages on Reddit. I don't private
message anyone because I'm just a lurker.
He lurks. He loiters. I've never
posted on Reddit. Me neither. I just read
a bunch on Reddit. Me neither.
But I think you can private message
and then, but people have these public
conversations, but an aspect of Reddit
that people like is that it's anonymous.
Oh.
Nobody can tell who you are.
One of my favorite stories about Reddit.
Back in 2016, also, did you know the meme of Ken Bone?
Yes, Ken Bone.
Red sweater guy.
Red sweater guy.
Okay, so.
Yeah.
It's okay.
This one's not as big as Harambe. No, I didn't know. SNL did a parody. Okay, so. Yeah. It's okay. This one's not as big as Harambe.
No, I didn't know.
SNL did a parody.
But there was.
Oh, okay.
So there was one of the debates between Hillary and Donald Trump.
There was a guy who asked a question.
His name was Ken Bone.
He was just this kind of like, he almost looked like a Pixar character.
Just this kind of like sweet guy.
Okay, this is sounding familiar.
A red sweater, bald guy.
And he asked a very, like,
people were just like,
oh, what a great question for both candidates.
This guy truly is an undecided voter,
and he's just a very open-minded guy.
And people just kind of fell in love with him because he just had this wholesome charm to him, right?
So he eventually posts,
there's a subreddit called Ask Me Anything,
where people can go on there and be like, ask me anything.
We should do one sometime.
He went and did an AMA, and he had a Reddit account that he used for this.
And he was like, hi, I'm Ken Bone.
Ask me anything.
So people are asking questions.
It's very sweet.
But then because he did this post, people were able to know, oh, this is Ken Bone's Reddit account.
And they went back and looked at all of his previous posts.
And then the whole facade of this wholesome, sweet guy comes down because he had commented
on pregnant porn subreddits a lot.
Oh, people love pregnant women.
And there was one quote,
there was one quote specifically
that I very much recall
where there was a scene
where two women are in a pool
and he commented,
wow, two beautiful submarines.
Now, that's not what really,
that's not what really tarnished him.
That's not what really tarnished him. That's not what really tarnished him.
He also had other comments on more serious shit that people were like, oh, so his whole wholesome thing.
I don't want to get into that here because I want to.
But like it was just like his his whole thing was like revealed.
Is pregnant porn a real thing?
Yes.
Do you watch it?
No, but I know of it
because I truly knew of it
because of Ken Bone.
Wait, are they actually pregnant?
Yes, I think so.
Yeah.
Whoa.
Look.
The submarine quote is kind of like,
yeah.
It's kind of funny.
It's kind of fun.
It's kind of funny.
That's not, I would say,
that's not what got him like canceled.
He had some other comments he had other
posts and stuff uh same thing kind of happened with uh uh simu liu from uh uh shang chi uh that
actor um he also had his reddit account kind of revealed and he had some like kind of like
edgy bro comments from like 10 years ago dude Dude, Reddit. See, this is the thing.
With people, I can just be a literal lurker.
Yeah.
And like, that's it.
Whereas like Reddit, if you started to post, Shane,
then you would have a trail.
Right.
You can post on people, right?
But then you never reveal your Reddit account.
No, you can do like reviews on the bottom of the article.
I can?
No, maybe you can't.
I don't think I can.
Because I have a lot of reviews
like pent up ready to go it sounds very similar to reddit but um he doesn't we don't know it
doesn't pregnancy porn okay reddit has everything like i said there is there is everything on reddit
everything it's scary and that includes that includes porn there's porn on reddit yes there
is here's the thing I was listening to
I think I told you this
the people who created
Reddit back in the day
Yeah
They started in college
and it kind of
you know how Reddit
became the wild wild west
They are actively
trying to
They are
organize it
and I saw
on our Harambe post
that they made an announcement
like
no hate speech
or whatever
like they are actively
trying to
reign in the wild west it's a very it's also a very controversial thing right now because they
are trying to make it profitable for them but what's great about reddit is that it's like this
free place for people they um a big thing was that they banned third-party apps yes and and that's
big because there's a lot of people, you know, with disabilities
where it makes it easier
for them to access Reddit
that they're getting rid of.
Like,
there's a lot of stuff going on.
How could they make money
off of Reddit?
That's a good question.
Yeah.
I don't know.
But they're trying to figure out ways,
but it also makes Reddit
not as appealing
in the process of doing it.
And I've,
as we've seen with other apps
over the years,
like,
it's often like what kills them.
Like,
that's what happened
with Vine back in the day.
It was like they were trying to find ways
to make it profitable and ended up collapsing.
Just keep it free.
But I will say it has gotten wild.
On Reddit?
Yeah.
Oh, Reddit has...
I feel like it's always been wild.
Reddit has some absolutely toxic communities on it.
I'll bring up some Passport Bros.
What's Passport Bros?
That's on Reddit Stories. Yeah, up some Passport Bros. What's Passport Bros? That's on Reddit stories.
Yeah, you'll see it there. But I'll bring up some others
in a little bit. So
before I begin,
let's hop into Reddit.
Ew, this is so gross.
Fedoras are not
your... No. For those listening,
I'm wearing a fedora.
And I think, frankly, I look pretty good.
No, no, no.
It's a light gray fedora, like an Ikea couch, with a satin black extra.
It just looks, no, no.
You look like you're in the theater company from back in the day.
Oh, no.
And you're like, I got the lead again.
Oh, God.
I hate it so much.
It's giving a little Sinatra.
It's not.
It's not giving Sinatra at all.
It's Sinatra.
It's giving a little Neo.
Ew.
Oh, my God.
Neo.
Okay, fine.
Fine.
Fine.
You can take Neo.
That's fine.
You can have Neo.
Wait, put it back on.
Yes, there we go.
There we go. There's go, there's Neo.
There's Neo.
Let's talk about Reddit.
Okay, what if I started having to wear this
for every Reddit stories?
You should.
How fast would views plummet, do you think?
I think that they would go up.
They would go up, yeah.
Let's do it, I'll do it.
You're who memed it, cowboy outfit.
I just don't know if the producers would let me do it.
I feel like Kiana would also be like...
I'll write Kiana a letter.
It's fine.
We'll write Kiana a handwritten letter.
Okay.
So there's a bunch of subreddits here.
I just threw a bunch on here.
I'm going to go through a bunch.
Let's start with something very tame.
Okay.
A very normal subreddit.
I like this subreddit a lot.
And it's just life pro tips.
People post like pro tips
that they're like,
hey, this helped me
in my life a ton.
That's so nice
that people are out there
doing that.
Yeah.
There's a lot of also
super wholesome reddits.
That's so sweet.
So when you,
so it's going to be,
when it's a subreddit,
it's like a.
That's a specific community.
Okay, got it.
So if you clicked
on that community,
you would go there and you would only see posts that
are related to that.
And if you curate your own Reddit account, you can have a homepage that's only the stuff
you want to see.
Oh.
So Reddit can be very different for everyone.
Got it.
Now, life pro tips.
Here's a couple examples.
Here's a post.
Life pro tip.
Professional house cleaning is cheaper than you think and can
relieve stress in your relationship.
Depending on your lifestyle, twice a month may be
enough to keep your living space clean enough. This
can offload chore burden as well as
the resentment burden in many relationships.
Cleaning session can run between $80
to $150 depending on the size of space.
Completely worth it in the long term.
I 100% agree with that.
I was just saying that
it would be so nice to just
have someone come in and help, like once in a while.
That's a great, that's a life
pro tip, right? If you want that or not.
Another one,
life pro tip, never lend money if
you wouldn't be comfortable considering it a gift.
There's always a very real chance you won't get
it back and you need to be okay with losing that
sum. That is true.
That is true.
Every day, people are just posting life pro tips for each other, and then they talk about it underneath.
But those are two that I found from this past week.
I love that.
And then there's always offshoots of every subreddit.
So you have life pro tips.
Now you have unethical life pro tips.
And I found a good one from this week.
Unethical life pro tip.
If you have to fart on an airplane,
wait until they're serving the in-flight meals
and everyone is opening them up.
People around you will just think
the food smells a bit farty
and they won't suspect you.
What year is this?
We don't get meals anymore.
In-flight meals.
If it's a long trip,
international. Okay, international. If it's a long trip, international.
Okay, international. You're flying like, if it's like a five-hour trip, you typically get an in-flight meal.
That is crazy.
That is genius.
It's super smart, though.
It's unethical.
I mean, it's not unethical.
It's just disgusting.
Oh, gross.
What are you going to do?
The moment the food opens, you just let one rip?
Ew.
Okay, I feel like I can say this because I'm wearing a fedora.
What are you going to do on a plane?
Hold your farts for five hours?
Go to the bathroom.
Shut the door.
You go to the bathroom to fart?
Fart and flush it.
Yeah.
Wait, you guys, this is a pro tip, though.
You guys know when you're flushing the toilet in the bathroom, you should close the lid.
No.
Oh, I close the lid when I flush.
What?
No.
One of our-
Why?
Because it...
It sprays back at you, especially in that...
I've never experienced spray.
You can't see it.
I can't see the spray?
I've heard this.
I don't...
Yeah, I've heard that it's good to close it before you flush.
It's definitely...
Yeah.
But one of our toilets here doesn't have a lid.
Actually, I don't think...
But we're not on an airplane.
We're not on an airplane.
No, she's talking about specifically on an airplane.
Oh, he's never closed the lid.
Because it's turbulent and stuff?
No, that and like the way it just like sucks it up.
There's a lot of things that could come out.
The toilets in airplanes always scare me a little bit.
Because you press it and it doesn't flush immediately.
And then suddenly just like.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And it just.
I always think when I have AirPods in that they're going to fall in.
Wait, I have to close the lid of airplane toilets?
Yes, you should.
I've never once done that.
Oh, that's okay.
You're okay.
It means I'm covered in shit.
You're just covered in shit.
It's disgusting when you think about it.
Well.
That space is so tiny.
It's just like particles floating around in there.
Shane, do you cover?
Do you close the lid?
I don't
trust you. I also
for some reason, I
hate to use the bathroom on a plane. Me too.
I try to... What?
Well, I also like to sit next to the window.
Oh, that's... And I hate
inconveniencing other people.
So if I sit next to the window, and I don't want to make people get up.
You're crazy, man. Do you love to use the bathroom on an airplane? I'm a gentleman. I love using the bathroom So if I sit next to the window, and I don't want to make people get up. You're crazy, man.
Do you love to use the bathroom on your property?
I love using the bathroom.
I have to go to the bathroom like every hour.
I love the bathroom.
I'm in aisle only.
Are you kidding me?
My, I have such long legs.
When I sit for a long time, they ache.
Yeah.
So I get up and I'm like, this is an adventure.
And then I go to the bathroom and I come back
and I have to sit in the aisle.
Because I get really claustrophobic.
I don't like the window.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, I know that.
But also like the window makes me feel very stressed out.
Oh, I love the window.
I love the window because I like to lay my head in like the crevice.
I love to look at shit.
What if you have to really, really pee?
You're not going to inconvenience me?
I will.
If I have to really pee, yeah, I'll get up and do it.
I prefer to pee in a cup usually.
That's awesome.
Yeah, because I hate entering a public bathroom.
That's so much better. I really do hate public bathrooms.
Because if I go into one, I have to go home and
take a full shower and wash my hair.
But you don't touch your butt to the seat.
No. No, you grip on for dear
life and do a squat. Yes,
100%. I can't. I have to
make contact.
What? You have to sit? Unless I'm just going to use a urinal, yeah, I have to make contact. What? You have to sit?
Unless I'm just going to use a urinal.
Yeah, I have to.
You don't need to sit.
You don't need to.
I'm telling you, Shane, you can squat.
I can't.
Yes, you can.
I don't have the flexibility.
No, no, it's not about that.
You can squat.
You can squat.
You can hold on to the walls.
I don't think I can.
You've got to work on your flexibility.
Also, one eye is in the dark right now.
Yeah.
I know.
I'm mysterious.
Okay.
Yeah.
It's really giving double indemnity.
Nice.
Nice.
In a bad way.
There's also shitty life pro tips.
Oh, I love that title.
This kind of connects to what we're talking about.
Yeah, shitty.
Pro tip, wash your hands many times in a row so you won't have to later.
No.
Absolutely not.
Definitely don't do that.
That literally doesn't make any sense.
Then it succeeded.
It's a shitty life pro tip.
Oh, okay.
Another one.
I think this is actually a good pro tip, but it's just shitty.
Okay.
In the event of a tornado or other such natural disaster, place wieners and or cheese slices in your pockets so the search dogs will find you first.
Wait.
That's actually amazing, but who has wieners and cheese sticks on the reg?
We'll just have wieners and cheese sticks.
Like, you know, if a major earthquake were to happen, quickly grab some wieners and put them in your pockets so that you're stuck under rubble.
The search dogs are going to find you.
I do. I love that pro tip.
It's kind of dark, but I love it.
Where am I going to get that?
The store.
No, no, no, no.
If it's happening right now,
I can't go.
You need to probably have the
wieners on you at all times.
Wait, this is like...
Just have a hot dog in your pocket always.
Yeah, I'm down.
Which is always good because then if you get stranded somewhere, you have a little snack.
Yes.
And hot dogs are so cylindrical and slim.
Exactly.
Yeah, but you could probably still see it through your pants.
So you know what?
Why don't we just get...
Which is also a little impress people.
No.
Not for me.
Not for me.
This guy does that.
He just comes in with six wieners.
We're all like, ladies.
That doesn't look right.
No, I think I'm going to just always keep a little Slim Jim in my pocket.
Smart.
I think it is smart.
I think from this day on, right now, I'm telling you, I'm actually going to go-
We're going to hold you to that in the next, in a video at some point, Olivia, I'm going
to just ask you if you have a Slim Jim in your pocket. No, I- If you, Olivia, I'm going to just ask you
if you have a Slim Jim in your pocket. If you don't,
I'm going to be disappointed. Guys, I have a pair of jeans, right?
That's good. That's crazy.
I know. This part is crazier.
There are two packets of
Taco Bell hot sauce in my left
pocket. It's been in there for seven
months. That makes
me sick. Why? What if you sit
on it and it explodes? No, no, no.
That's the exciting part. That is the exciting
part because it hasn't yet.
And it will one day, but it
hasn't. So that's exciting. You want it to happen.
No, I don't want it to happen, but I just know
that it could happen very soon
because it's very wrinkly and it is
very warm. It is
in there. There's two. Please don't use it.
You're never going to use them? No, I think I just love that it's in there. There's two. Please don't use it. You're never going to use them?
No, I think I just love that it's in there.
And I think in 20 years,
I can look back and I can still,
I'm like, wow,
this is my two hot sauce packets from 2023.
This is Olivia's adrenaline rush.
I think so.
It's exciting, you know?
It sounds exciting,
but I feel like I would think about it all the time.
I would be always worried.
Yeah, why? Maybe you like that. You like me all the time. I would be always worried. Why?
Maybe you like that.
You like jeans.
Is that why you don't sit on any seats?
Oh, you know what's interesting?
Okay, so the thing is, those jeans are in my closet right now.
Uh-huh.
Being pressed with a bunch of other pants.
So it could be completely fucked.
So that means you haven't washed your jeans in seven months.
I have a lot of jeans.
Okay.
I don't really need to wear that pair.
So you just love knowing that it's in there with the hot sauce in it?
Yeah.
Wow, I learned something new every day.
You know, we all...
It's like things like that.
Like I'll keep spoons and packets of other sauces in my bag.
I have a lot of stuff in my purse.
That's so interesting.
I'm like the opposite.
When I know it's in there, I'm like, I got to clean it out.
Oh, no.
No, I also have little candies in my purse that's over a year old.
And it's melting.
Actually, I do believe this.
Yeah. Yeah, it's melting. Actually, I do believe this. Yeah.
Yeah.
It's fun.
Hey, look, if it brings you joy, I can't hate it.
It's not necessarily joy.
I think it's just something that she needs to do.
It's like an old lady.
So Slim Jims.
Starting from today, I'm going to have Slim Jims.
This is great.
You know what?
There's weird things that bring us joy in life,
and I think that brings us to some of our next subreddits.
There's a subreddit
called Bread Stapled to Trees.
I don't like this already.
Where people staple bread
to trees. Why? They take
photos of it, and then they share it with each other.
Why do we keep hurting trees?
It's kind of like this. And bread.
Take a look. That's the type of stuff we're looking at
here. That's a good slice of bread.
People staple bread to trees's a good slice of bread. Yeah.
Just people staple bread to trees having a good time.
Oh, so birds can eat it.
Sure.
I don't think that's their intention.
But I actually don't know the full depth of this community.
So maybe people can comment down below if they are part of this community, what the purpose is.
Yeah, why? But they just staple bread to trees and they have fun with it.
Another one that's similar, and I really love this one.
This is a community called Long Furbies.
What is it?
What's the first word?
Long Furbies.
Long?
And people make Long Furbies.
And they're actually kind of incredible.
People love to modify their Furbies.
Wait, how do they make that?
Look at that.
Wow, that's beautiful.
Artistry.
Wait, I actually love that.
I was obsessed with Furbies.
Long Furbies is really incredible.
That picture is gorgeous.
I know.
I love that.
I know.
The hands.
I think she's serving.
She is serving.
You know what would be great is going to an art show where there's all long Furbies everywhere.
Maybe they have that.
I'm sure they do.
For those listening, basically they take a Furby head and they make it so that the Furby is more of a snake or like a sandworm from Dune.
That's really what these look like.
The second Furby we showed has arms, like full on arms.
Yeah.
On a seat, sitting down, big ears.
Uh, some might say they're terrifying, but I think I love people.
People are so really fun, fascinating and interesting.
No.
And I, and so many subreddits are very fun.
Not all people.
It's true.
You're on cops.
You've seen a lot of bad people.
Here's another good subreddit uh
our pocket sand now this is a community of people who talk about the benefits of keeping a little
bit of sand in your pocket at all times sometimes i have that yeah so they have it there first for
possibly self-defense so you have pocket sand for if if an attacker comes up to you you got pocket
sand you throw it in their eyes.
And that's what everyone on this subreddit talks about.
They talk about keeping pocket sand on.
You need a lot of sand.
Well, so here's a post from it.
Had to actually use my pocket sand on someone.
It was 8 p.m.
I was walking through a small forest in the middle of town
since it was a shortcut from the track I was practicing at.
A large man in a dark jacket
and black beanie came up to me and asked for directions.
Without hesitating, I told him where
he needed to be. He then opens his jacket
and shows me his pocket knife.
You know the drill, he said, with a slight creepy
smile. As I'm reaching for my wallet,
I realized I just came back from long
jumping, and there was a load of sand in my
pockets from the pit we jump into.
Also, I always reload there.
Yeah, just a second.
As I pretend to take out my wallet, I scoop up the leftover long jump sand.
I withdraw it, pushing into his face and yell, bam, pocket sand, motherfucker.
He shouts, ah, my eyes.
What the fuck, man?
Then I took off sprinting into the bushes.
Thank you, pocket sand.
You saved my life.
Okay.
Come on.
Is this real?
Is this real?
A man, a person posted this.
If a man in a huge jacket and a beanie had a knife and was like, you know the drill,
I wouldn't be like, huh-huh, I reloaded and got my pocket sand.
Like, I don't think my brain would go there.
I'd go, fuck you, here's my wallet.
I don't know.
I would go, you know the drill, stop, drop, fuck you. Here's my wallet. I don't know. I would go, you know the drill.
Stop, drop, and roll.
I actually, Olivia, I think if you said that,
I think you would confuse them enough that you might get away.
They would walk away.
I think they would be like, you know what?
Not today.
No, that's the thing.
When things like that happen, you got to like out creep them.
You know?
Like you want to see what's in my jacket?
Ha, nothing, bitch. i knew i knew i'm naked
in here olivia is the biggest creep at smosh in the best way yeah yeah yeah wow i need to get some
pocket sand i need to get pocket sand unarmed i know well what about pepper spray it's just the
more efficient version of pocket sand. Also, pepper spray is
hard to carry around. You can't
have it linked to your belt walking around
town. Or like a water bottle
and toss it at them.
You know the drill. You just slowly
undo it.
You just give them the
ALS ice bucket challenge.
Oh, fuck. Just carry around a bucket
of ice with you at all times.
I like the pocket scent.
So there's also a subreddit called Mirrors for Sale,
which is a subreddit I think you'll love, Amanda.
So this subreddit is,
it's not a place where you sell mirrors.
This is where people post photos that they find
mostly on Facebook Marketplace.
Whenever people are selling a mirror,
they take a photo of the
mirror and be like, I'm selling this mirror
and they forget
that they are in the photo.
So you have shit like
this. Okay, I would love this.
Oh.
Does she have a cigarette in her mouth?
She's just sitting there with a cigarette. She does not
realize she's in that photo.
You also get stuff like this.
A part of you can't handle that picture.
I can't handle that picture.
Do they not know how funny that is?
That first one, a lady just does not realize she's being seen in the mirror of this vanity.
And she is just cigarette in her mouth
curled up in a blanket just like
alright let's sell this piece of shit
the other one's great because it's clearly the wife
taking the photo
and the guy is holding the mirror and he's
it makes him look like that's his body
that's his body it's so funny
they need an Instagram account or TikTok
account of these because
no those are the two that I found That's his body. It's so funny. They need an Instagram account or TikTok account of these because they're so...
Sure, they have.
No, those are the two that I found that are really solid.
But it's a lot of that.
What is it called again?
It's called Mirrors for Sale.
There's a lot of very specific, like, if you find things in real life, you post it here.
Another one, I'll scroll down.
So there's some other ones that are similar.
One is called
TV Too High,
where if people
in their house, or if you're out somewhere
and there's a TV that's just put up
way too high, they
put it there. So for instance, a guy is like,
this is my friend's house. Oh my god, that's
so hot. And this TV is
above the fireplace,
nearly touching the ceiling. Wait my God, that's so hot. And this TV is above the fireplace, nearly touching the ceiling.
Wait, wait, but guys, go to that photo.
Everything is too high in that house.
Oh, you're so right.
You're so right.
Everything, the shelves are really high. Look at this.
Where are you going to get that?
I know.
Everything is really high in this house.
Also, look at this fake window.
I know.
No, it's disturbing.
If you're listening, just imagine that everything is really high.
There's another one
that's clearly like
a DMV or something.
And this TV is attached
to the ceiling.
Stop.
And it's like a tiny TV.
I'm like,
who is that for?
Do you guys remember
airplanes like
when you were a kid
and the TVs would come down
like really,
really tiny,
high up,
and so far away?
And you only had one movie that you could watch.
Yeah, they'd be like, we're playing Last Holiday again.
Now we get to, I would argue,
this is one of my top three favorite subreddits of all time.
This one's called Awful Taste but Great Execution.
This subreddit is gold.
This is basically when you find
things in life that
poor taste,
really weird,
but man did they execute.
For instance, snail shoes.
Look at these snail
like
boots.
They are, I don't know
how to describe this if you're listening.
They are some high heeled, or not high heeled. But like. They are... I don't know how to describe this if you're listening. They are some high-heeled... They're flesh-colored.
They're stunning!
Wait, they are stunning! You could be
a snail for Halloween.
Perfectly executed.
You also have this Furby tattoo.
Is it farting hearts?
No.
No, but that's like a
lower back tattoo. Lower back? And also that Furby like a lower back tattoo.
Lower back? And also that
Furby has a lower back tattoo. I know.
It's great stuff. So it's stuff
like that and I love it.
What is it called? Awful Taste
but Great Execution. Okay, you're kind
of turning me on to subreddit.
Yeah, me too. I'm really into this.
I always thought it was... I feel like I always
hear about the weird stories that are kind of nasty.
We're about to get into that.
There's another one that's similar to this, and it's called, you'll like this because you worked food industry.
We want plates.
And this is whenever people are at restaurants and they don't serve the food on a plate.
You know how a lot of times they serve food in weird types of things and people get really tired
of that? Here's a catering place
where the salads are just out on the table.
No, you're kidding.
Salads just out and they must think it's
artistic. They think it's artistic and it looks
terrible. This one I think is alright, but
cotton candy served on the top of a statue
head. How many statue heads do they need
to bring out to each table?
I've been to restaurants
where they do that where it's like it's served on like a flat rock or something like that except i
i except for like a sushi boat then i'm like i'll take a boat yeah but it's got to be still there's
got to be some convenience for me i've never ordered a sushi boat i never have either but
i like the idea of them me too uh okay okay because to me, those things are sitting on a shelf gathering dust.
And then you're like, let's throw the food on this sculpture.
I know.
I know.
There's nothing to show, but there's a subreddit called ramish and there's no posts.
Is it Smosh?
Spelled wrong?
No.
I know, but that's really good. Brilliant because they don't use technology. Yeah. It's just ramish. there's no posts. Is it Smosh spelled wrong? That's really good. Brilliant because they don't
use technology. Yeah, it's just our Amish.
That's amazing.
Here's another. This is actually the last.
There's some more normal ones.
There's our shower thoughts.
People just post shower thoughts like
just interesting things to think about.
For instance, sweatpants were made for
physical activity, but wearing them in
public makes you seem lazy.
That is a fact.
Yeah.
It depends on the sweatpant.
The loose one is lazy.
The tight one is...
I think the vibe has changed, but...
You can't work out in sweatpants.
That's the thing.
That used to be what people did.
I love sweatpants.
I think that was before, like...
I don't.
What?
I do not like sweatpants.
I almost wore sweatpants today, but then I was like, I don't want to.
You could have.
We can't see the bottom of you.
I know, but then it's just more of like a mental thing.
Like, am I really going to be that comfortable?
Yeah.
Should I be that comfortable all the time?
I don't feel good in sweatpants.
I hate sweatpants.
I feel, what?
I hate sweatpants.
In my house, I'd rather wear a long dress.
Why?
I.
What?
I hate sweatpants.
I'm weird.
I think I'm weird.
I don't love super soft fabric.
Oh my, what?
You are weird.
You don't like comfort?
I like comfort, but I don't know.
I don't love super, like for instance,
for instance, like this sweatshirt that I wear all the time,
it's terrycloth.
Oh, it's so hard.
I don't like fleece. I love like terrycloth. Oh, it's so hard. I don't like fleece.
I love terrycloth.
So you don't like warm comfort and love?
Also, I know this about Shane.
He doesn't use a blanket.
I've had to change that a little bit over the years.
I'm sorry?
I overheat, I think.
So I like to often just lay on top of my duvet cover.
So you just lay flat out in like a towel?
Yeah.
Here's the thing.
I want to be wrapped in linen or cotton 24-7.
I hate linen.
I hate linen.
Oh, I love linen.
Linen is my favorite thing.
I would wear linen every day.
It's the in-between.
It's not too soft.
I would wear it every day.
I only wear linen in the summer.
No, I literally want to pretend like I'm on a beach 24-7.
I think you want to pretend you're on a beach.
Okay, you and me get it. But guys, it's not soft. No. No, but literally want to pretend like I'm on a beach 24-7. I think you want to pretend you're on a beach. Okay, you and me get it.
But guys, it's not soft.
No.
No, but it's breathable and it's loose and it always looks good.
So wear like silk.
Silk looks great, but it shows off everything.
I cannot believe that you guys don't wear sweatpants.
That's crazy.
I own sweatpants that I just never wear.
You wear jeans Over sweatpants
No no no
Yeah
What about airports
Airplanes
I wear jeans
On airplanes
Yep
No I do not wear jeans
On airplanes
I wear linen
Or I wear spandex
Like workout yoga pants
I'd rather wear those
Than sweatpants
I wear jeans on planes
Most of the time
Okay well that's crazy
Well this brings me Into the next subreddit.
There's a subreddit called The Tenth Dentist.
The Tenth Dentist is a subreddit where people post unpopular opinions that they firmly believe in.
You know, it's like 9 out of 10 dentists recommend this.
So what's the deal with The Tenth Dentist?
Wow, people are genius with these titles.
This is for really extreme unpopular opinions.
I could probably post that I'm like, I like wearing jeans on airplanes.
Awful.
Here we go.
Here's some.
I never spit out my toothpaste, and I think doing so is gross.
I know the complete opposite is true.
Swallowing toothpaste isn't good for you, but I've just never been able to do it for some reason.
Even being in the room with someone who spits it out makes me gag and dry heave.
I genuinely find it so disgusting and repulsive
I think I would throw up if I did it myself.
Not sure why.
Anyway, I've been swallowing toothpaste for my whole life
and I haven't had any problems.
That actually makes me want to gag.
That's disgusting.
Someone's been swallowing a lot of toothpaste.
That's spit and nastiness and you're swallowing it.
Like all the nastiness you brush out of your teeth.
Yeah, just swallowing it.
That's so gross.
That's disgusting.
Yeah.
Well, that's the worst one.
Here's another one.
This one, funny for us since I'm getting into this, but someone posted, music is boring
and not remotely entertaining.
Just what the title says.
I can never just listen to music.
It's always so bland and I just can't get any enjoyment or genuine emotion out of auditory
artistry.
Don't get me wrong, I've tried to listen to music.
I've listened to so many different genres, and they're all so bland, and I can't remember
any of it.
It all just turns into big mush.
I always hear people critiquing music and media, video games, movies, etc., when for
me, it always fades into the background and never really offers much atmosphere on its own i was actually genuinely surprised to see how some of these responses were
honestly i didn't think my opinions was that unpopular and i'm pretty surprised to know how
much music affects some people that is a very unpopular yeah to me that means that that person
i feel like hasn't connected to like a deep part of themselves because music is it's like composers like music in
film background noise like you know makes me wonder though is remember we talked about this
with Hank Green about how some people think in images some people think and don't think in images
that's true I just wonder if like some people the way they their imagination works just music just
doesn't yeah maybe it's just not yeah I don't know that's a that's a tough one for
me to get on board with but okay this last one's insane this last one's the craziest one oh my god
dish soap tastes good and not fully rinsing your dishes makes the dish better the taste of dish
soap is good i love it i wouldn't like drink, but I rarely rinse my dishes fully. I always let them dry while still
covered in a lot of bubbles. When I make
food later, it mixes with the soap and
makes a small bit of suds that
taste like whatever food I'm eating.
I also enjoy the suds in soup and drinks.
It's never to the point where I have
a head of foam, like beer or whatever.
Just some bubbles and visible suds.
I have a few cups slash plates, forks
I don't use often because I keep them fully
rinsed for guests who don't share my love of
soap. Is this guy single?
Can you imagine? There's an edit.
Honestly, after reading all the health concerns,
I'm still going to eat it. It's one of the few
things in life that I still enjoy,
so I might as well go out with a bang.
Edit number two. Some people asked, so
to answer, I like orange dawn
soap. Edit number three. I'd like to answer i like orange dawn soap edit number three i'd like
to add proof a video of me eating something with suds but i feel like that borders too close on
urging others to try it which i don't necessarily want to do considering it's unhealthy also there's
literally a show about people eating things they shouldn't what's so hard to believe we don't we
exist outside of tlc edit number four i appreciate, guys, but don't spend money on me just because I eat soap.
Holy God!
This is a whole...
So one of the last things in the world that he enjoys?
Yeah, I guess. I used to eat soap
when I was a kid.
When you were a kid? Okay, tell us more.
What kind of soap would you eat?
Like... When you were in trouble?
No, you know those like round, the soft
whatever, what is it called
They're like this
And then you pump
With the pump
Oh yeah yeah yeah
Yeah
Soft soap
Yeah like
When we were washing our hands
After recess
To go to lunch
You'd go
I remember like
It was like
You know
This other kid also did it
We'd just like
Lick our hands like this
Wow so it was peer pressure
Sort of
I did a lot of weird things
In kindergarten
I think you still do a lot of weird things.
I believe that.
You still keep hot sauce in one of your jean pockets and you refuse to take it out.
So I don't know.
You're still kind of there.
But yeah, I'm worried because there's a lot of harmful chemicals in soap.
Yeah, we need these soaps to clean the ducks who had the oil spill.
Yeah, we need to save it for that.
I don't think I ever really ate soap.
But you must
when you're shampooing your hair.
You don't go like this.
No.
Me neither.
I thought you didn't shampoo your hair.
Yeah, me neither.
I wash my hair every day.
Oh yeah, you wash your hair.
Every day.
But you don't use soap on your body.
I do.
Okay? I do. But you don't use soap on your body. I do. Okay?
I do.
But, wow.
Sometimes.
I hit a nerve.
I mean, not everyone washes their legs.
I must.
Oh, you do? It's a whole journey.
You're different.
Oh, God.
Do you wash?
You wash your, you don't.
I wash my legs. Every day? Yeah. And I wash your... You don't. I wash my legs.
Every day?
Yeah.
And I wash the bottom of my feet.
I put soap and I...
You put soap?
I wash the bottom of my feet.
I don't...
I'm sometimes bad about washing the bottom of my feet.
But I wash the top of my feet.
When I do Muay Thai, we're just without shoes or socks on pads that are sweaty.
Yeah, see, that's disgusting.
That makes sense.
But I wash my feet every,
if I'm,
I'm a very clean person.
Okay.
I believe you are a very,
you're like,
you're very clean.
Yeah.
Very clean.
I just don't know about like if you're shaving your legs,
you're sort of exfoliating your legs.
I don't shave my legs. So don't know i can't and so you
so if i were you i definitely have to get in there and scrub my legs yeah yeah for sure but for me
i'm shaving them and i dry brush but see i also wear jeans which are thick and it protects me
from the from the outside world so no your genes aren't protecting you, honey. Your genes are protecting you.
Oh.
Okay.
Next subreddit.
There's a subreddit called rroastme.
And people post photos of themselves.
And you have to have a piece of paper in front of you
that says rroastme that you have to write
so that people know it's really you and you
post a selfie of yourself and you post it on this subreddit and then people roast you no love pain
i hate that it's always insane it's it's mind-blowing uh it's so sad this feels like
torture porn i hate that people are into it i'm just thinking about all the things people could
say about me nothing because you're beautiful.
Thank you.
I'm not going to, I found some posts.
I'm not going to show them here because I don't want to like spread it.
But look, I look at it sometimes and the roasts are insane.
Like what?
I have to look at them.
All right.
I have to.
I'll show you one and I'll just show you the top roast.
It's on Reddit, so.
She's beautiful.
That's the thing also, but these
are Redditors who find anything.
So this woman, this 20-year-old woman
posted a photo of herself.
She looks like Christina Ricci.
And the top comment says,
I was always told
I was going to end up
like this if I held in a sneeze.
Oh my god.
What is wrong with these
people who just want to be f***ing roasted?
I feel like they're in pain. I know.
I know. There's a lot of...
Yeah, what else we got?
Yeah, keep going. What else?
We can't make sense of this.
We just have to read the comments. Okay, here's another
one that I have.
Here's this guy.
This guy posted on Reddit.
He said, 26-year-old finance bro, unroastable.
He's 26?
Unroastable.
Try me.
Someone said, do you puff out your neck to intimidate predators?
Now, this is rough.
Look, I'm not condoning this. I'm not saying anything. I'm saying this is rough i look i'm not condoning this i'm not saying anything i'm saying
this is we know this is your favorite reddit no it is not my favorite reddit i don't look at roast
me that often it ends up on the front page a lot and i will check it out these people actively put
themselves out there to say what's tough about it is you know we do roast a lot at smosh but because
we know each other we're able to roast like and, like, our lifestyles and, like, what we do.
We know what not to touch.
But I don't, I never love to do jokes about, like, physical appearance.
No.
The problem is on Reddit, when you're posting a selfie of yourself, they don't know anything about you, so it's purely about how you look.
Which is so rough.
Well, these people are putting out just a photo of them.
They're not putting out what they do or anything.
They're literally asking to be roasted.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, yeah, they actually are.
It's fascinating.
I could never do it.
Get pleasure from it.
It got floated around at one point years ago of like, oh, should we have one of us post on Reddit?
And I actively, like aggressively was like, no, absolutely not.
We should never post on that subreddit because it's just devastating.
I feel devastated just watching other people go through it.
I'm like, oh, my God.
Of course, there's a ton of comments, but I don't want to linger on that.
There is another. I did want to bring up one Reddit Of course there's a ton of comments, but I don't want to linger on that. There is another,
I did want to bring up one Reddit,
and this is a very toxic one.
There is a subreddit called True Rate Me.
True Rate Me?
Rate Me.
And there's a lot of subreddits
where people post where it's like,
am I this?
Like, whatever.
Like, rate my appearance.
Rate me, you know?
And it's really sad.
So I'm like,
don't ask the anonymous
internet. I think people
have this need to like,
I don't know, feel pain.
I'm like getting anxiety.
I also think people want affirmation or they want
affirmation about their negative feelings too.
That's not good. True rate me though
is toxic because for one
it's very clearly a bunch of dudes.
Right? So it's a biased view bunch of dudes right so it's a it's a bias but true
rate me they're arguing that they are judging uh attractiveness based on objective like factual
things and it's very clearly not they're like it's based on symmetry and all this science it's just a
picture it's just a picture and people post a photo of themselves and a lot of times the ones that always
get high up
and high up voted are
very attractive women post on there
and you just have a bunch of dudes being like you're a 5
and it's like
they're getting out their anger on them
I think they're getting a power trip from it
and anytime dudes post like
and say like oh you're a 9 or a 10
they get their posts removed
and the mods go you're a nine or a 10. They get their posts removed and the mods go,
it's your rating too high.
No.
Who gets to remove their posts?
The mods.
Who are the mods?
Moderators of the subreddit who are also just some dudes.
Wait.
No, look, if people want to come for me in the comments,
I think it's an extremely toxic subreddit.
So toxic.
Question, the moderators of the subreddit,
they're the moderators of all the subreddits?
No, no.
Every subreddit gets moderators.
And it's people who just volunteer.
You don't get paid.
It's just a volunteer thing
that you're going to moderate that subreddit.
So they are people who are also part of that community.
Imagine being with a moderator.
Oh my God.
I had a tough day today.
Had to take down...
Reddit mods have a very specific
Stereotype
Really?
It's pretty much this
The fedora?
Yeah
Moving on from some of those
Let's get into some weird ones
This is where people are just
Being weird
For instance
There's a subreddit
Called RGGGG, just four letter Gs.
And on that subreddit, everyone can only post the letter G.
So it's just a bunch of posts with just Gs.
You can do uppercase or lowercase, just Gs.
And it's surprisingly active.
People are posting on there.
Why?
Go outside.
G's.
Go outside.
But they're having fun posting G's.
Feel the sun on your back.
They're posting G's.
Make a, you know, swim in a body of water.
They're posting G's.
Okay.
Here's another subreddit.
Once again, I am not condoning this.
I'm just saying this is a subreddit that exists.
Yes.
There is a subreddit called Alzheimer's Group.
Okay, Jesus Christ.
And on this subreddit,
Jesus.
they only post the same Garfield comic
over and over and over again.
What?
They post one Garfield comic. It? They post one Garfield comic.
It's just a random Garfield comic.
And so people post it and they go, I found this awesome Garfield comic.
And then people just do that over and over and over again.
This is so sad.
I know.
Shane is struggling right now.
I'm just saying it's a subreddit that exists.
There's a lot like it.
This is so sad. I know. It's so now. I'm just saying it's a subreddit that exists. There's a lot like it. This is so sad.
I know.
It's so sad.
I know.
So do you think people with Alzheimer's are going on this subreddit?
No.
No.
No.
No.
It's just, it's unfortunately just a joke.
Oh, no.
I think it may have started as a legitimate place to discuss Alzheimer's and then some
thing must have morphed into this at some point.
I think joking about really serious things
is okay because
I think people need to figure out how to
freaking handle it.
That is crazy. The thing is, this is
just one inside joke that
just lingers for years. And I think that
is funny. And there's a lot of subreddits like
it. Similar to our Amish.
Everyone agreed we're never going to post on our that's funny right also funny um so there's
a lot of stuff like that there's just a lot of weird subreddits uh there's another one um
uh dude it's just insane um here's another here's one before we started this podcast
Olivia we were
talking about ice
yes
there's a subreddit
called hydro homies
and on this subreddit
it's just a community
of dudes
people in general
who love water
and they just post
photos of like
their
just dudes
water bottles
I don't think it's just dudes
I love water
I think it's anyone
who likes water
and they're just obsessed with water and so they're just like hydro homies and think it's just dudes. I love water. I think it's anyone who likes water. And they're just obsessed with water.
And so they're just like hydro homies.
And they love to post their containers of water.
Like if you have a big jug of water, take a photo of it, post it on hydro homies.
It'll probably do really well.
I love this.
People just love water.
But there was a post I found.
And it was which ice is best, homies.
And you've got regular cubes.
The spears, the rectangular spears. The pebbles. Or large cubes. you know you got regular cubes the spears the rectangular spears
the pebbles or large
I know you love this. I'm a large
cube man. Yeah I'm a large cube. Wait can I see again?
No I like that cube. So here's the thing. You like small
like you like regular sized ice cubes
What are we drinking? Water? That's the thing.
For water. Oh for water? I was gonna
say I love them all for different things. For water
I think it's small cubes. Spear. Small cubes.
Spears for water. Spear or cubes. For water? F*** yeah. I love them all for different things. For water, I think it's small cubes. Spear. Small cubes. Spears for water. Spear
or cubes. For water?
Fuck yeah. I love water, dude.
I don't drink water. I drink so much. You don't drink
water? You don't drink water?
You are not a hydro homie. No, I drink
water. I drink lemon water
in the morning and that's sort of
it. You don't drink water for the rest of the day?
I drink like
10 to 12 cups of water a
day. That freaks me out. I am chugging
water. Me too. I love water. It's my
favorite thing. I don't drink a lot of water.
Honey. I'm trying to do better.
I know. I know I need to. If you get
something that. I'm going to lose
that. Okay.
Let's figure out a way to get you some water.
I'm kind of thirsty right now.
I haven't had any water today. Can we find some water? No, I don kind of thirsty right now. I haven't had any water today.
Can we find some water?
No, I don't need it right now.
I'll probably wait like three hours.
Three hours?
Probably wait until tonight.
Okay.
My thirst takes over, which is why I have the ILC in airplanes, because I pee a lot.
See, that's also, I don't really want to pee a lot.
So you want to be a camel.
Wow.
All right.
There was a bunch of other Reddits I wanted to get to,
but we're running out of time here.
I didn't even get to NoFap.
Okay, get to it right now.
I'm wondering if I should save it for another episode.
No, okay, let's talk about it.
Let's talk about NoFap because it's...
We definitely have to do another subreddit episode.
We absolutely do.
Because there's a million more that I meant to get to,
and I didn't.
Okay.
So I feel it's important to talk about
nofap because the chosen the character i play the chosen it's a big part of his lore right uh it was
a joke i made the first time i appeared as the chosen where i said i'm a member of nofap and
it just kind of kept going but nofap is a very real subreddit and it has over a million members and it's been big for
a long time and and it's not like a joke these are these are people who truly truly believe like
this is this is a life-changing thing for them and i'm not gonna sit here and judge it i like
this is what people okay doing whatever now it's a lot of guys guys, it's all guys, a lot of really young men who
believe that
no longer masturbating
will change their life and make them
like, borderline like, it'll
like, give them... Powers?
Borderline, like, not
it's not getting to a fantasy realm, but here
but just like, I will be smarter, I'll be
have more energy, I'll be more
confident, people will like me more, I will be smarter. I'll be, I'll be, have more energy. I'll be more confident. People will like me more.
I will, a lot of them, almost all of them are like single guys who are having trouble
in the dating scene.
And they believe that by no longer masturbating, that will be their solution to eventually
finding a girlfriend.
Wait a second.
I thought you had to masturbate.
What?
A doctor told me once.
Apparently, apparently you don't have to. What? I have heard. I thought men had to masturbate. What? A doctor told me once. Apparently you don't have to.
What? I have heard. I thought men had
to masturbate. I've
heard studies that apparently it is
good for your prostate to do it. Yeah.
But look.
That's what this community believes. If they don't masturbate
they're going to gather all the nutrients
and power inside of them and then when they
find their lady they're going to just
That is what's funny
is that I guess they believe
sex is not going to do the same thing.
I feel like they're going to be all weird.
They're going to be sick.
They're going to find their lady
and go, ah.
Yeah, and like...
But look, I found a post here.
Three years of nofap
from a pathetic loser
to a successful young man.
Shut up.
27-year-old male here.
I discovered NoFap three years ago while browsing sexy pics on Reddit.
Ironically, I know.
And because of curiosity, I opened NoFap, read a few stories, and told myself, what have I got to lose?
My life is already a shit show.
And I started.
On that day, I was a lazy, pathetic loser with no job, no master degree, no girlfriend ever.
Kissless virgin.
I was masturbating three to four times a day and had lots of mental issues like anxiety, panic attacks, and depression.
After just one week of NoFap, I felt a difference.
I started walking outside and daily taking care seemed easier.
After about six months, found a well-paid job, which I never believed I will ever get, but happened.
This gave me a lot of confidence, energy, and I felt for the first time in my life appreciated.
After a few more months, I decided to start a master's degree because I had so much energy and confidence that I could do it.
And it wasn't easy, but I had to push my limits.
It makes sense. He just... The amount of time it took for him to masturbate,
he just stopped doing that
and spent time on going and living his life.
He gets on to like,
after about 500 days,
decided it's time to take my driving license
and get a car.
And I succeeded.
I wasn't anymore that afraid.
I wasn't afraid of anything.
I didn't fear everything like I used to.
I gave up taking anxiety pills because I didn't fear everything like I used to. I gave up taking anxiety
pills because I felt strong enough to fight
on my own. Finished my master's this
summer with maximum grades and all
because of NoFap and motivation which it gave
to me. Wow, good for him. Now, I think
it's great. I have a theory on it
which is just that like
that was very extreme, right? He's saying
he's doing it three to four times a day.
He probably, it's just like, he probably by getting some sense of control over his life.
Yes.
Started to gain confidence and change that.
Yes.
It's like when you stop drinking or go sober.
Yeah.
It gives you like, oh, I am focused.
I am.
Yes.
But look, so that's why I'm not sitting here like shaming it.
What does FAP stand for?
Yeah.
Masturbating.
I don't know. What? That's just what they call it. I think it's so, shaming it what does fap stand for yeah masturbating I don't know
like what that's just what they call it I think it's so I think it's a meme term so like in a
comic if someone's if someone's jacking off the the sound things that they would write is like
fap fap fap fap I love setting Shane up to explain something it's my favorite thing in the world. Whoa. I love going, so what does fat mean, Shane?
But it's a really, like, it's an intense community.
Like, they firmly believe it.
Hey, if they're freaking going out there and living their life to the fullest, I am in full support.
No.
I really can't hate.
But I don't think that stopping masturbating is good for you. I'm worried that a million people are reading this and are like, if I stop doing this, I will get my master's.
No, you can't.
Like, I'll get my master's degree.
I'm like, no, that's not it.
Well, yeah, get your master's degree.
But also, okay, so if a million people stopped masturbating, what would happen to the world?
No, I don't know.
There would just be like these people walking around like.
People walking around.
I don't know.
But then I also don't want to offend anyone because I know there are a lot of people in there.
Like if you're doing that, good for you.
Look, it's people's body.
People are allowed to do or not do whatever they want with their bodies. Yeah, of course, literally.
Look, I'm not saying
I think it's bad or good or anything. I think
it's funny. That's ultimately what
it comes down to, is that I'm just like, I love that there's a
community of a million dudes who are like,
guys, we gotta stop jacking off.
We're gonna get stronger if we stop
jacking off. That, to me, is funny.
And there are other,
there's a million subreddits,
right?
Cause there's another,
there's other subreddits that are more like about stopping porn,
like about no longer looking at that.
But then this takes it to the extreme of like,
don't ever,
don't ever jack off.
And I,
I'm like,
I think it's funny.
And that's why I said it as the chosen.
Cause I'm like,
it's such a,
like to me,
it's,
it's such a chosen thing of like,
no,
I must focus.
I will get stronger if I must focus. Yeah.
I will get stronger if I stop.
Wow, now I know that joke.
You said it so much as the chosen.
I've been like, I don't know what that is, and now I know.
Yeah.
It's about masturbation.
Right.
Lastly, the last subreddit I'll talk about is rsmosh.
Oh.
There's a subreddit. There is a subreddit.
We have a subreddit.
I think I knew this.
It's got 50,000 subscribers on it.
Oh, God.
And look, they post a lot of stuff on there.
There was a lot of appreciation posts
when I was looking through for you, Amanda.
People really like you.
Whoa.
They love us playing Five Nights at Freddy's.
Oh.
There's posts being like, guys, we need to go and like all the Five Nights at Freddy's videos to make sure we get more.
I know.
That makes me so happy.
I found a post where they were comparing us to, they were assigning dog breeds to all of us.
They're like, what dog breeds are people?
I need to hear this.
So Spencer, a Shih Tzu, right there.
Olivia, a Saluki.
Cute, that is kind of like me.
My dog kind of looks like that.
That is so you.
Look at your hair, It's so cute.
Amanda, a Belgian
Tervuren.
Wow.
Okay.
Lassie?
Ian Hecox, a Jag Terrier.
That's fitting.
Very fitting.
Trevor, Great Dane.

I think he's I think he's a stand up poodle
Interesting
Trevor's a stand up poodle
Noah a whippet
Tommy a borzoi
Yes
Oh my god
Chance a pharaoh hound
Wow 100% Arasha Oh my god. These are very, very accurate. These are really good. Chance, a pharaoh hound. Wow.

Arasha,

that's very fitting. Incredible.
Angela's
a bunch here. A bunch of little dogs.
Yeah.
You know, I see it. Yeah.
A little bit. Yeah. I don't know. I mean, she also has
a chihuahua, so I get it.
And then me, golden retriever.
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
How do you feel about that?
I feel good about that.
Okay, good.
I don't mind it.
There was another one where I think they, there was another post where they made me
a bull terrier, which I was like, like the target dog.
I didn't see that as much.
Absolutely.
You're like one of those little white furry dogs with the little gray, pink, little furry
eyes and little wet little mouth. Your little wet little mouth. That's because you did that. Absolutely. You're like one of those little white furry dogs with the little gray, pink, little furry eyes.
And a little wet little mouth.
Your little wet little mouth.
That's because you did that.
I did that character.
Mm-hmm.
But our subreddit is very, I like our subreddit.
I look at it every night.
You could be the target dog.
But I feel like the target dog is like, hello.
That's not you.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, I know.
The personality, I don't think.
You're a little golden retriever.
Because the target dog is also the dog from Toy Story
that like chases him down. That's a nightmare.
Oh, yeah. Wow, I have so many
subreddits to check out. I need to
see the mirror one. Oh, yeah.
Mirrors for Sale is great. That one's my favorite, I think.
But yeah, our subreddit's
cool. You know, I'd say
it's pretty much pretty positive.
It's very nice. Great. Love nice.
People just have conversations. Yeah, it takes so much more effort's very nice. Great. Love nice. Be nice. People just have conversations.
Yeah, it takes so much more effort to be mean.
Yeah.
So much more energy.
You feel better when you're nice.
You do.
Yeah.
You really do.
And Reddit's the place that's got all of it.
Like, it surely just got all of it.
You with that fedora.
Yes, really.
It's tough.
Thank you for sharing all these Reddit thingies.
Really tough.
