And I'm Amanda. and we have a very very special guest you guys know her it is courtney miller hello yeah uh you guys been waiting for this one um for a little bit um it would have been really funny if it was angela and chan yeah

i should have worn my pink jumpsuit today, but no. I thought about it. I have my lime shirt in my bag, but I was like, no. No, we can't. We can't do that to you guys. Not again. It could have been Angela Chance and then Courtney here, and they just go about it. Oh my god. That's true.

That would have been really cool. Yeah, so look, yeah, we're married. We're married. Whoa, what? Dude, I had no idea. There are people still, and I mean, the reason I was like, we were like, okay, we need to actually talk about it a little bit, is there are still comments of people like, wait, are they?

Are they actually? It's been a month, and there are still comments of people like, wait, are they? Are they actually? It's been a month, and there's still people who are unsure. Guys, they're married. I saw a comment on my post yesterday on Instagram that was like, my friend thinks you guys are dating. L them. A major L. Well, people didn't know that you guys were dating,

and then found out that you guys were married. Yeah, we didn't know that you guys were dating and then found out that you guys were married yeah we didn't tell anyone outside of like everyone in our world knew that we were together

oh yeah so yeah cause some people thought we didn't tell anyone no everyone here knew so yeah I knew you knew fully

I knew we all knew but we were all like respectfully it's your privacy. Yeah, no, and it shows, like when people talk about like, oh, it's such a cool dynamic that everyone at Smosh has, I think it was such proof that like everyone knew and everyone respected our privacy. Yep.

And that's such a cool thing. Like everyone, not just cast, like all the crew, everyone who works at Smosh knew and just was like, okay, cool, great. So yeah, but, so I don't know where to begin. Exactly. There's a lot, there's a lot. It's kinda cool that you guys are coming on and doing this episode. It's cool because yes, you guys released it,

you were married on April Fools, and then we had the pod with us, a.k.a. Chance and Angela. People were like, wait, what? And I think it was really fun because it was a prank, but it was also just like we were having fun with telling this news. Oh, my God, yeah. So. And we recorded, you guys recorded that podcast. Before. That was like the day before we left, right?

Yeah. And we eloped. No, it was, I think it was like a week or so before. Oh. I think it was a little bit before. Time is so blurry from that era because we were, meanwhile, in the thick of shooting so much stuff, including the promo for the live show you created. Yeah. It's been a busy month.

And that's part of the reason why so many episodes of Smosh Mouth were shot a while ago. And so people have been like, wait, okay, I can tell this one was shot before they were married. This one's actually one of our quickest turnarounds of an episode ever. This is going to release four days from now. We're recording this Thursday, and now it's Monday. And it's being released on We Will Have Been Married for a Month.

Yeah. How cool is that? Whoa. What? It feels like, no, it's been a blur. That actually blows my mind. It's kind of insane. Yeah.

No, it's really trippy. Wow. And that's a goal for us for the podcast is to make it like we're trying to work our way there with our schedules to film it and release it sooner but we're working on it but also you can see

the set for those watching that's different that's the real tell all right now guys what if we only talked about the set? We don't talk about anything. No, we can't do that to them. But look at, look at.

The whole soundstage is different right now. You just can only see this corner. Yeah, it's really, really cool. I'm excited. It's really sick. Okay, so let's start at we got married. We did a small little thing. You guys eloped.

A little elopement, yeah, at the same place that you got married, We did a small little elopement. Yeah, at the same place that you got married, Amanda. Yes. And we were thinking like, oh, I don't know if fans know that we got married at the same place. But I think there were a couple comments that were like, oh, you guys got married at the same place. Isn't that so wild?

People be figuring that stuff out. People are detectives. I mean, I loved getting married there what did you guys think? it was a great spa Santa Barbara is such a gorgeous city and I love the beach the air is so fresh and nice

and yeah it was a really nice day we kept it super small and Brennan who you know he does camera stuff here a little bit he took our pictures nailed it and they're gorgeous so casually just casually taking photos yeah that's the best photo I've ever seen in my life yeah it's crazy because one of those photos um the hard launch post the we're like standing and there's like a window arch. And people pointed out that we made a heart shape.

And I did not realize that. Brennan, I meant to ask you, did you know that you were making a heart when you took that photo? That's so funny. Brennan says no. None of us realized that it was a heart. It's just the universe telling us that we're perfect.

You guys are just under love. That was an accident. That's a good sign. It was really cool. Every photo, though, was incredible. And you guys were in this amazing field of poppies. Yeah, that was at there's a botanic garden there, and we went there, and

the poppies... This is the top. This is the tower. Yeah. I've got to look back on my photos and see if there's any hearts. You've got to look for some hearts. Probably some hearts Secret Mickey There was a hidden Mickey there But yeah The poppies were in full bloom

And it was just really cool The sun was out and then we were lucky Because the sun was out in the morning Because we got married like early morning Yeah like most of the day And then rained like crazy So we got that good luck Wait that's good luck Yeah, like most of the day. And then rained like crazy. So we got that good luck without.

Wait, that's good luck. Yeah, but we got it. We got it. But it didn't impact us. Don't sleep on spring. Spring. I didn't realize how like H is obsessed with spring. And I was like, we're going to get married in spring. OK.

It is unbelievable. The roses. It rained the night before ours. So it was like it it brought this beautiful, like green, fresh, like, and the courthouse looks amazing in the spring. Like everything is blooming and it's not like you're not dying of heat.

Right. It was really cool. And then you kind of just go and you do it. And there's a lot of things that were like kind of a miss. Like you almost didn't get your suit. I completely forgot our bouquet that I tried to make the night before. You made a whole bouquet. And what's the thing?

And a boutonniere. A boutonniere. And what's funny is so- I forgot a pin for his boutonniere. I was like, damn it. And my best friend Bree from my childhood, she was going to be coming. I was like, can you bring a pin when you come? And she was like, yeah, no problem.

Then we show up to the courthouse, and I'm like hugging her hello, and she's like, I have the pin right here. And I was like, oh, I don't have the bouquet or boutonniere. Oh, well. But then in the courthouse are a bunch of fake flowers at every desk, and our friend just grabbed one of them and was just like, here's your bouquet.

And then we took one of the flowers out of that and made a little boutonniere out of that. Oh, stuck it into your suit. And then what's funny, though, is that fans, some fans were like, oh, it's not real because you can tell those are fake flowers. Meanwhile, there's a funny story to it. Wait, I actually didn't know about that. Yeah. Yeah.

And it just kind of worked out perfectly. And then speaking of your suit. Yeah. So my suit. I knew about that. Yeah. Everyone here knew how much I was stressing about that shit. A lot of people wanted to know where your suit was that. Yeah. Everyone here knew how much I was stressing about that shit. A lot of people wanted to know where your suit was from.

Yeah. So because we were eloping and it was going to be a smaller thing and it wasn't going to be too expensive, I was like, okay, I've always wanted to have a suit that fits me well. Yeah. I never have felt like I've gotten that. Every suit is either too tight or I look like a little kid. So I really wanted to get one, so I found a tailor, and I was like, I'm gonna get measured for a suit,

and I'm gonna have one made for me. And I had this image in my head for so long of this brown suit. And so I go and I get measured for it months ago, like months before, and, uh, and so I, I go and I get measured for it months ago, like months before. And they're like, okay, it'll be ready probably like end of February, early March. Then they called me later, like a month later. And they're like, it'll probably be ready like mid-March.

Okay. I need it. I need it March 28th. Cause that's when I, I need it by then too. Cause we're going to Santa Barbara. And then, uh, they, they get it and they try to ship it to me. And then FedEx just kind of like. Lost it.

They sort of lost it. I don't know what really happened. But literally the day before, less than 24 hours before we're getting married, I get called and they're like, hey, we have your suit. The tailor was like. The tailor was like, we have your suit. And I was like, great. But they're far away. They're like hours, hours. Yeah. That's why I was like, hey, we have your suit. The tailor was like. The tailor was like, we have your suit. And I was like, great. But they're far away. They're like hours, hours drive away.

That's why I was like, yeah, ship it. So I drive hours to go get this suit. And I'm just like, I hope it fits well. Because I can't, no adjustment. Yeah, there's nothing that you can do. I get it. You drove hours the opposite way. The opposite way.

I drive back. And then we go to Santa Barbara that day. So I was in the car for like five hours. I remember you being like, I'm not going to get it. I'm not we were like you're gonna get it really bummed and we even went and got another suit a backup a backup black suit which now i'm like great i'll wear that for who memed it but uh i'm so glad i got that brown suit because um i don't know it just felt like it fit and with all our photos and it's so nice for the courthouse like the courthouse is that beautiful like ivory and brown and like a little bit of reddish and then green it's awesome you looked great and you had that black tie that you

chose we kind of chose last minute yeah it all worked out it all it all worked out because i had a different dress that i was planning on wearing that was like more of an off white because I knew your shirt with your suit originally was going to be like an ivory off white. And then the closer we got to the wedding day, my dress that I had, I was like, I don't feel right in it. Like I always struggle with a balance of femininity or just structure in my wardrobe. And so I was like, I can't. And then and then I was like, I'm and then and then um I was like I'm gonna wear this this white dress which I ended up wearing and then because you had your backup suit that came with a white shirt you ended up being able to wear that white shirt and like

some people don't care about that stuff like oh I like color coordinating yeah I ended up looking all so good well it mattered to us because that was all we were bringing to it. Yeah. You know, like, it wasn't like, we didn't set up a wedding. So it was like, we're going to this courthouse and what we have is what we're wearing and I think it really was perfect. Yeah. That's so nice. I love having, the smaller wedding is then you can focus

on the actual details and you should be in something that you feel so good in. Oh, yeah. And like comfortable and it's fitted. And that's when you spend a little bit more time, a little bit more money on that. That's the best part about a small wedding. It felt great. And so we did that and it was just this very private, quiet affair. And that's kind of funny because then come Monday, and we had planned for months. It wasn't like always our intention. We knew at a certain point that we were going to eventually like announce after we were married.

We made that decision a long time ago. Yeah, like a long time ago. We're like, yeah, well, we'll probably like announce with like wedding photos. Yeah. And then I pitched early, early this year. I was like, how about this date? And how about we announce on April Fool's Day? It's kind of funny.

And we're comedians. And so how about it? And every time we told people that that was kind of what we were thinking, everyone was like, oh, my god, that's so awesome. You've got to do that. And so we're like, all right. Seems like the plan. Uh-huh.

So Monday comes around, and we are on set. And so not only did everyone at Smosh know about this, everyone was there with us when we posted it. And I remember we were on the Try Not to Laugh set. I had a beard drawn on my face. Or wait, maybe I hadn't yet, or maybe I don't remember. But we were filming the trailer for Sm Laugh set. I had a beard drawn on my face. Yeah. Or wait, maybe I hadn't yet or maybe I don't remember. But we were filming the trailer

for Smosh the sitcom and we pulled out our phones and we're like, all right, we're gonna do it. And then we kind of like let everyone know. We're like,

all right everyone, we're gonna do this just so everyone knows. Yeah. And then we did and then we just put our phones away. Yeah,

because we had to keep filming. All right, we got to get back to work. Best way to do it. I think Angela like filmed the moment we hit post and everyone was like, woo, all right, okay, and settle and okay,

our speeds. Back to work. Back to the old grind. And then the podcast was on a countdown. Oh, dude, that was so fun. After your post. That was so fun because that's when I think things started to ramp up. People were like, what's going dude. That was so fun. After your post. That was so fun because that's when I think

things started to ramp up. People were like, what's going on? That was really cool because we were all here watching the countdown go and then immediately it's Angela

in your lines shirt. Oh my God. Dude, it's the funniest intro on this show by far. The way she's just posed there is incredible. She was working on her impression of you all day. When she first came in, she was like,

hey, how's it going? She was method. Oh, yeah. Like an hour or two before, when she got fully in the costume, she sends me a photo of just her in the full costume. She's just like, I'm locking in. They killed it. And Chance was like going over all the things.

He's like, okay, bots and it's crazy. He was going over all the things. Worked everywhere. They were so invested in like trying to pull off this great. And they killed it. They did a whole episode fully improvised as us while keeping the fun game of like, guys, I got a big announcement. Walked down the aisle in boulders gate in boulders gate funniest shit ever so good because i know angela doesn't know

anything about boulders gate so i'm like yeah all right um uh yeah i mean it was it was just weird because that that day things just kind of kept ramping up. I don't know what I expected. I, I was nervous for a lot more like of a negative response. I don't know why. I think it was like fear of people being like, ew, I thought you were siblings or like, or just, um,

also being nervous about like people like, cause there were people who were like, I thought you were lesbian. And I was like, uh, never said that, but okay. Um,

and then. Make a side. And then we also, and then we also like i thought like come on it's gonna be wedding photos no one's gonna think it's a prank like they're gonna think it's real but people really thought they think smosh is really that talented that we would pull something off that that's that's that big we pulled off pranks but that's on another level. I mean, we kind of thought, okay, all of these photos we're putting in there,

the level of it, all the locations, people are going to think it's a prank at first, but they're going to realize by the end of the day that it's real. Yeah, which...

And people really, really thought that we could pull off a prank of that level. And people thought that there was like AI involved. Oh my God. That they were like,

they're like, see like this is fake here because you can tell or whatever. I think when you're a comedian, they don't see like you doing real stuff. I remember I posted a video of my engagement and my director at UCB was like, dude, I thought that was a total prank.

I was waiting for you to be like, have like a whole thing. And I was like, wait, oh. Sometimes when you're thing. And I was like, wait, oh, sometimes when you're a comedian, it's like, wait,

huh? Yeah. Like part of me, part of me wonders if we hadn't posted on April Fool's Day, if people still would have thought it was a prank. It's possible. I think so. Well,

because I guess, and I, and to be fair, it's hard for me to understand the perspective of people didn't even know that we were together. That you were dating. So it's a lot all at understand the perspective of people didn't even know that we were together. That you were dating. So it's a lot all at once. And that's fair. Which I think maybe we assumed that more people thought we were dating than we realized.

I kind of for like the past year just assumed that a lot of people just knew. Did people not? Like were people like, oh, I knew it. Like what were the majority of the comments? Oh, plenty of people were like, I knew it. Okay. Plenty of people were like, I knew it. When you talk about detectives, like.

Yeah. And I think that's, there's a lot of reasons why we didn't like make it public for a long time. And for me, one of the largest reasons was just that it's always been important to me to draw the line between what is entertainment, what is my job, and what is my private life. There's a lot of things, not just our relationship, but a lot of things that I'm like, I will not talk about it, I don't post about it.

Just honestly, more than anything, just for my own psyche, just that I'm like, I like to keep that as there's no business or like that's not content, that is my life. And I think we're seeing a lot of that online right now where people make too much of their private life content and then that's damaging. And then you kind of lose track of what your life is. They lose control over their own privacy.

Yeah, and it's a tough line to walk at Smosh because we are personalities on camera. So it is us that's on there. And so it was scary to bring that out because I think there is an expectation of like when you're a couple online that that's heavily what your content is all about and that that's not really what like we're planning on doing because I think what we've been doing up until this announcement, performance-wise, in our videos and stuff, I think it's pretty much gonna be the same. Because I think also one of my fears was,

I didn't want to be now only referred to as Shane's wife. I came to Smosh because I loved comedy, I came here as myself, I'm still myself, nothing has changed in that regard, other than how we're being perceived now. And I, as a woman, it can be hard. Like already on social media, everything I'm doing online, people are assuming it's like for Shane.

And like, that's not true. But hey, you're pretty cool, but. I think women get very pigeonholed when they get married, because I think there's this old belief that a lot of women like open their eyes at birth. And they're like marriage, because I think that's how we were meant to, you know, continue our lives. But like you are your own businesswoman like you have your own things going on and you get to like share that with shane but also you guys do your own thing and then do things together and i think some people find that tricky when wife and husband those words just like change so many things i remember when i got married and i said husband i felt like this woman who was like

in like a little handkerchief like at home in the kitchen like those words just have so they hold so many old beliefs in it and they aren't true anymore yeah yeah and it's like not to say like i'm proud to be yeah i'm like i'm proud of of this It's just also, like you said, keeping our work life and our private life as they are. Yep. Especially in a time when I think Smosh, people are saying it a lot, but I think Smosh is in such a golden era

and our dynamic amongst the entire cast is so good. Everyone is so solid. And what I cherish at Smosh is this big ensemble friend dynamic, and I think a great thing about us not being public about it is that people really, they do love us as just individuals, as individual performers, and as just a group of friends, and that's still,

I think, what Smosh is about. I mean, yeah, friendship always wins. That's kind of the thing, and that's still, I think, what Smosh is about. And yeah, friendship always wins. Like that's kind of the thing, and you know, that's also just a very real part of our relationship still. And like that's, when people are like, oh, I wonder if things are gonna change, it's like, no, because this has been the case for a while. Like, everyone here at Smosh knew that we were together,

and this is the dynamic that we have on camera. It doesn't feel like it's changed on set, and this is the dynamic that we have on camera. It doesn't feel like it's changed on set, but it's cool, though. It is really cool. You guys now have this, like, commitment and connection that is really cool that we get to, like, finally celebrate, and I think that's what's really exciting and cool for us. But as far as dynamics on set, like, it's the same,

but it's just cool yeah it's better literally yeah and you know I was just gonna say like our hard launch it it honestly was scarier but felt similar to coming out for me because it was like this part of myself that isn't really anyone's business but it is a big part of me and like I get to like truly be myself and not be like it's not that we were hiding anything it's just we weren't like volunteering that information out but like being able to be like oh like in control again of that because it felt like a lot of speculation and stuff made it feel very out of my control or just it for a long time it like and I think why we kept it private for so long was because sometimes online, people made it feel not safe to be public about that info.

But yeah, it was a relief. And even though all the people in my life that I truly care about already knew, it was like, we don't have to worry about that anymore. Yeah. It's really cool and and there were there were moments where i was like it is weird that i it's a it's a thing that people i'm not being public about like when we did our dating episode with tommy we were answering q a questions uh oh yeah we're talking about it and i saw there was a comment that was like i don't know shane should be giving advice he's been single for like seven years. And I'm just like, okay, that's fair. That's what it probably looks like.

And there were times where I'm like, people probably think that I just am completely alone. It's hard. Yeah, that's hard. But I also, you know, my entire time on Smosh, I just have always separated that part of my life. Because I'm just like, I don't want to talk about it. Yeah, I mean, it's not that hard just like, I don't want to talk about it. Yeah.

I mean, it's not that hard to like not show that you're dating somebody. Exactly. It's not that crazy. Like my previous relationship, we were both influencers, but no one really knew just simply because we weren't posting about it all the time. So it's not like this crazy secret that we were trying. Like we weren't really trying that hard. We just weren't announcing it. There were plenty of times where it was like, we posted stuff and it was, like, very clear.

Yeah, like, we were both in London. Yeah, it was definitely funny. And it was moments like that where it's like, all right, we're not going to keep this secret forever. No, and I think, like, throughout our entire relationship, we weren't going to deny ourselves the experience of being in a relationship.

So if we were, people were taking photos with us in public, it was like, yeah. It's not like we were like, we can't touch. We can't be standing too close. We never, we just, we didn't want to make that part of our whole life. We just didn't want to make it content.

Right. And I think that's still going forward, how we feel of like, we're not going to be making couples content. That's not in our plans. And that's just because we both of like we're not we're not gonna be making couples content you know that's not in our plans and that's that's just because we both love what we do as individual performers and stuff that's not saying we're never gonna make anything together like no but but just that's that's our vibe your couple stuff is is it's sacred and also like it's yours do Do you know what I mean? Like it is your decision when and where

and how you wanna share it. Like wedding photos, like it's always, always gonna be now, that's the cool part is like now it's your guys' decision. Moving forward, doing things together. I think that's the coolest part about being married. And truthfully for our fans, like there's

not much of my private life that isn't on smosh like whenever we do two truths one lie the the problem every time is i'm like i don't know what i haven't shared at this point i think our fans and i will say something and fans will be like oh yeah shane shared that like a few years ago and i'm just like all right yeah it's i It's, I mean, it's hard. Our job is literally sharing our personal life. Yeah. And, and I, I think people don't realize like all of our videos nowadays are like an hour long and it's like, it's hours upon hour. Like a lot of our days are on camera, like hanging out, talking.

It's a blast, but it's also a lot of our life. Yeah. Yeah. And we started nine years ago. I mean, like we literally had our callback audition at the same time. We both sat in front of Ian and Anthony and Joe Beretta and like nine years have passed. So people have seen us grow and change, but also like our fan base has grown and changed. So not remembering information that we've shared makes sense, but also it's like, well, we don't know who in this current era of our audience knows that stuff too yeah so

it's like it I think that's also what felt like such a big deal announcing this stuff was because like this job like and that's why we kind of cared about this relationship so much and keeping it kind of private because like we've been at Smosh for nine years like we just started our 10th year and yeah just like the stakes are high and um like certain people online made it feel like really scary to to put that information out there like as someone who has dealt with actual stalkers like some of the behavior regarding us so it teetered on that line and that made it really scary for me because prying eyes or prying mouses iPhones I don't know it it made it made me really protective of this relationship, especially like some of the things people were doing online,

like I said, teetered on stalking behavior. And even though some of it maybe felt innocent to the people who were doing it, the information they were putting out there was then accessible to people who should not have that information. It could go into the wrong hands. And so, and I talked to both of you about this,

like I had like a grieving moment of, like, saying goodbye to keeping that relationship, this relationship, like, as just our thing. And, yeah, it was, like, a weird mourning moment. Like, okay, this isn't just ours anymore. Like, now the whole world is perceiving it. And, like, it's a lot. Like, I get emotional just thinking about it because it's like the internet can make things really scary yeah it's so many people i mean our instagram post i mean it got just an absurd amount thank you i don't know why i'm just like no it's it's it's

real i think just getting married you go through a mourning process you grieve like an old part of yourself you're not only grieving an old part of yourself you're grieving so much more and grieving isn't a bad thing you're just kind of like I'm not going to be that anymore I'm going to now be this and that is such an intense emotion it can be and it And it's also like I'm different, but I'm also literally the same. Like I had people text me being like, do you feel different? And I'm like, I grew up thinking marriage was going to be like the thing. You know, being a Mormon woman raised person, like, it definitely felt like a big deal.

But it's like, I think's still clinging to me. I still have this gravitational pull toward entertainment and making people laugh and forget about their problems. I didn't want to be, like you said, pigeonholed into a wife. Yeah, and now you're not. This episode of Smosh Mouth is brought to you by Aura Frames.

Back to the show. I feel the same exact way, but there's still so much that is ours, and I think by the whole point of what we really wanted to do with this episode is to kind of communicate that with with our fans because what was really cool about this announcement was seeing how many people were happy for us and that that was yeah fascinating to me um just just just genuine happiness for us and believing in us. And so that was really cool. And I'm someone who doesn't share a lot. Fans know I'm a super private person. Probably the

most private out of everyone on Smosh. So it was scary for me. And I think the response already, I don't think people are putting you in that box. Cause I think you've just shown, you have shown just how powerful and how much talent and just how entertaining you are by this point that, and I think that's, I think it's a good thing that we, we kept it to ourselves because I think we've built up to this point. And especially with all the bullshit we've gone through over over years like it's it's it was the perfect time i think yeah and it was like i'm i wanted to do it i'm glad we did it and like because it would have been like painful to try and keep yeah like huge part of our lives like and our dynamic like a secret from everyone and and i think also us us announcing it was like us like taking back our narrative and and like hopefully shutting down a lot of that stuff. It unfortunately brought up a lot of crap again of people thinking like, oh, now it's OK to bring all that up. And it's again, it's like it's hard when you're online and like everyone's got an Instagram, you know, our families do. And like I can only protect

them so much. And like, we signed onto this job. We, we agreed to being public figures, but that does not make it okay to treat people like this puzzle that they can rip apart and dissect. Like, cause I think a lot of people think like, well're a public figure like you have to expect this kind of treatment and it's like no that's we're still human beings when did we lose that line yeah yeah you can expect it that doesn't make it right like it doesn't and it's it is frustrating and've, I said this on assumptions on Anthony's channel of just like anything that I post on my social media or I talk about here, like I'm like, that's what I'm sharing with you.

If you're seeking something out that I didn't, then I, I, I'm upset. I don't view you as a fan anymore. Like that's, that's where I'm like, you're being invasive.

Like what? I haven't talked about it or posted about it for a reason yeah um and we there's so much I don't know how many hours of content there's there is out there of me like it's there it's it's weeks or months of of video footage but um yeah like stop trying to figure out how many people I've killed. Like, I haven't posted about it. Yeah, and it's a lot. I will say, the thing I do enjoy, and I think this is totally fine, is people going back and trying to find Easter eggs

in Smosh content. Oh, yeah. Where they're like, okay, I think I saw this moment here, or whatever. And some of them, unfortunately, I just have to say are bullshit. Like, it's just nothing. But some people are finding stuff where I'm like, okay, maybe that was something.

Maybe that was something. Or like jokes, like little hidden jokes and things. Or like, see the way she was looking at him? It's like, I look at Angela that way. Oh, yeah. Well, yeah. Spencer looks at Mountain Dew Kickstart. He's like.

Well, he is married to that. He's married to that. I think I make more intense eye contact with you throughout the day than anyone here. I mean, like I said, on my assumptions that people think that Angela and I are, like, there's this fan video that Angela sent to me, and it's me in, like, grayed out, like, color, and it's me on the Smosh set like, and I'm like kind of laughing but not or whatever. And then it's like once Angela came in,

there's like sunlight. Oh my God. We're like hugging. I'm looking at her with like eyes. Oh my God. And I'm like, wow, Ang, you and me are together. She's like, I knew it. Yeah.

No, that's crazy because even before we were dating, there would be edits like that of us, of course, but there was ones, I remember me and Olivia were posting on our stories laughing at them because they would make entire stories where it's like, we were fighting and then we were together and then Jane got hit by a car

and no! And he's in the hospital and they would use sketch footage and all these things to create like a soap opera y'all are kind of brilliant because like no truly you just made a whole show

no no I truly have so much respect for people who make edits in any capacity as an editor yeah that's how I first started

with videos it's like I love it it's so awesome they're so funny I love the music and it's like, ah, ah. I'm waiting for my next one with Angela.

Like, where are we at now? You're asking for it. They're going to make it. Give us our honeymoon. Because we've just been together. We haven't, like. When will Amanda get hit by a car? Yeah.

Boom. And then Angela's like, no. I want to see that. The only other thing from fans' response, they're obsessed with the rings. Mom, Mom, did you see my race? Of course I did, darling. Look, you did your best. You tried.

The thing is, it's not about winning. It's about taking part. Next year you might do better. But I did win, Mom. You did? When it's sunny, make sure you can still see. At Specsavers, get two pairs of glasses from $149, and one can be prescription sunglasses.

Hey, the sun won't wait. Visit specsavers.ca for details. Conditions apply. Yes. They are obsessed with it. They're like, Shane's not wearing his ring there. Rings. He's not wearing his ring or whatever.

He's wearing his ring. Not wearing his ring. Oh. I'm wearing it, but I'm not like a ring person so it's definitely an adjustment it's an adjustment

I sometimes put it on my necklace yeah but it's something that I would expect do you wear your ring 24-7 no

so I wear my ring every day but when I go to bed I have these our ring our jeweler made these like wooden boxes that have like this felt inside.

And it's like, she has this really cool symbol on it that's about like earth and the connection to earth. And so at night, I like put it in there and it's like a little felt thing. Planted in the soil. Yeah, exactly. And then it grows. But it's funny because H never wore rings. And he has this thick gold ring. And I remember him being like, this feels weird.

And now when he doesn't wear it, and he wears it 24-7, he's like, I feel naked without it. Wow. So it kind of becomes an interesting thing. Yeah, I've heard that. But no, I don't wear it to work out. Yeah, I would feel like people who wear it 24-7, I'm like, I couldn't go to the gym with this.

I would either make a stinky ew, or I feel like I would break it on equipment. I'm afraid of losing it. That's my biggest fear. I'd rather not be wearing it. Yeah, swimming in the ocean? No. Yeah, God no.

Yeah, no. Or if I'm eating eating like wings i gotta take this shit off same if i'm making bread or anything or if bilbo's around don't start if bilbo baggins is around and he's just like he's like can i can i try it yeah he's like you haven't heard of the story of Bilbo I pass it that's been our fans with my ring they're just like hey

where is it and you're like I'm gonna drop it I'm gonna drop it I gotta take it to Mount Doom people in the comments are like alright chill

people take their rings off which is nice I feel what's been really awesome about this as well too is like I've felt a lot more embraced

and almost protected in a lot of ways like our yeah the love and celebration i was not expecting the amount that we got like truly i thought people were just going to be shocked because people online like instantly just want to turn everything into a meme and not take it seriously i'm like that's fine like we're in comedy for christ's sake but like it it was so much just happiness and celebration after like people were a little more certain of it. Like, you know, after the people.com article came out. Well, they didn't contact me. So I'm a little upset.

I tried. I tried. Yeah, Courtney tried. Tell the story. They reached out and I was like, no freaking way. People.com. This is so funny. Yeah, like they emailed. They emailed they're like hey we'd like

to get comment do you care to reply with comment or something and i and so so you were kind of like drafting up like yeah say and then i was like oh my god can you include amanda in this yeah i literally tried so cute i was like um like they're like can you comment on this like are you guys is this real and i was like yeah i wrote the little bar but it's like also uh we got married at the same place amanda got married too and she's a huge people.com fan if you wanted to include that in there or not they were like we don't give a fuck um we just care about you too and we don't care about amanda and her weird tall man not from this country and we don't want that i also i remember someone created a fake people.com article on twitter or something.

And then like literally an hour later, the real one came out like they acted fast. I mean, I whether they, you know, had me in there or not or asked me to be a correspondent here or there or whatever. But when I went on my normal people.com every day, I was like, there's Courtney and Shane. And I filmed it and sent it to you and I read the whole article. I was like, look. And he was like, yeah, you know their story. I was like, yeah, but people.com. They got the scoop.

They got it. They got the scoop first. We gotta get a hard copy. I know. I think it was on an actual issue. Oh my god, can we put it back here? Slam it up there? Just behind me, though. Put it on the fridge.

Not behind you, just behind me. That's actually awesome. We should find it. It should be still out. It's so awesome. It's crazy. That shocked me. I think that's where I was like, I was not expecting it.

Yeah, holy shit. I guess people.com, or people, it's pretty common to cover weddings. They love their weddings. Well, people just love couples And I guess people.com, or people, it's pretty common to cover weddings. Yeah. They love their weddings. Well, people just love couples. They love people. They love this stuff. Oh, they love couples.

People, the magazine and people. And people in general. And I think that's why the response to it kind of surprised me in a lot of ways, because it's not the type of content I consume. You know? Yeah. I'm on YouTube watching people make terrariums inside jars. I do. That's actually awesome. awesome it's the best those are my YouTubers that's what I'm watching

they're like I've had this ecosystem in this mason jar for a whole year and here's the life that's existed in it for a whole year it's the best there is this one YouTuber that I think it's really cool how she goes about because she's married and recently it's changed a little bit but for a long time this one YouTuber that I think it's really cool how she goes about because she's married. And recently it's changed a little bit. But for a long time, this one YouTuber,

Lauren Giraldo, like she's always done like a vlogging, like this is my life channel. And she has a boyfriend that she was living with and like he would be around, but it wasn't the content. And like I thought that was I think that's really cool that it's like it's about her. And if he pops in, great. But it's not about her it's her life and like if i continue my personal youtube career like it'd probably be closer to that like i don't plan on making couples content with you it's gonna be about me but if you're around or if anything changes it might but terrariums he might just be like hey he's just got a little shrimp he's like this one's gonna clean the tank one little shrimp. He's like, this one's going to clean the tank.

And he plops it in. One little shrimp here. This is his house. So you might be an extra in her vlogs. Yeah. I'm the main character. Shane's just an NPC. That's right, honey. That's just me.

I'm so sorry. That felt very cringe. But it's great. We're going to leave that in. Fuck. Yeah, it's interesting at this point. Because there's so many. You know, there's ones that work. There's ones that it's interesting at this point because there's so many, you know, there's ones that work,

there's ones that, but it's scary like with couples on YouTube because there's been a lot of weird ones over the years, and you just, just where it's like messy, and I don't know. I mean, since this is a topical episode,

the Joey Graceffa and his ex video coming in. Oh my God, yeah, that shit has been crazy. The online peeps are happening now. I don't know anything about that. Yeah, I mean, I don't really know much about it either, but it's like, that is not our thing.

Like, we love comedy, we love performing, and like, should we ever split for whatever reason, not wearing our rings is not gonna be how you find out. That's why we prank you with that. You don't want that. There are so many celebrities that just don't even want you to know their partner's name. Because the Easter eggs that people are finding in your old videos, they don't want that for your future. To be like, uh-oh, Kourtney is at the grocery store by herself.

Well, you know, Ryan Gosling is super private about his marriage and stuff and I think he and I are pretty similar I mean sometimes I am like Eva Mendes on her Instagram like where is Ryan she's like in her gorgeous dresses and she's like I don't know who's running her Instagram or is it just her but like sometimes I'm like what's going on eva like it's just like pictures of her being like i'm like where is ryan i i i do understand because of the nature of so much content why people like are are interested or expecting more because there's so many creators out there who just air out everything. Everything.

And I got to be honest, whenever they're doing it, I'm watching. Yeah. I can't help but watch. You cannot. Look at Love is Blind. When they freaking go for it. Well, I mean, so many podcasts out there.

I mean, it's like, oh, so you're just talking about anything. Yeah. Holy shit. No, you know that feeling when you feel like you overshare? Like when I told everyone that I watch YouTube compilation kisses? You go home in your car and you're like. And it strikes you in the car like, you overshared. You overshared.

And then I go. And then it takes like days to be like, it's okay. It's okay that you overshared. It's okay. No, literally, even if I'm just like talking to you And I feel like I told you too much about like a gyno appointment I'm in my car and I'm like Shared too much

Never care about that Literally never care about that Basically cringing though You shared too much about your gyno appointment When Ian's sitting right there That's the hardest part No because he will weaponize that later He will weaponize it

I straight up did that the other day. That's stored in there. That's going to come out in a year. Yeah. No, he's going to. You know when you've shared too much with Ian where he goes, wow. And you're like, oh, no. Ian gives you that like.

Yeah. I wish this didn't happen. When he doesn't have a response of like a whole paragraph about some article or documentary, then you know you said too much. Yeah, you said too much. Yeah, you said too much. Cool. Man, when we get this show to being very topical, it's going to be fun talking about anything

because I feel like I get to tell you about so much stuff. I know. So you didn't know about the Joey Graceffa X thing? No, no. I've only seen a few TikToks. What's his name? It's unfortunate because someone roasted Joey Graceffa's X by being only known as Joey Graceffa's ex. Oh, that's the meanest.

I know. Certain YouTuber. Name them. Connor Franta. But then I realized that he's the most boring person. And legend has it you are still jealous of me, Daniel. You have been subtweeting me. My name has been in your mouth and on your mind for years. You're obsessed with me. I don't know why I don't think about you. The

internet doesn't think about you. You are categorized as one thing. Joey Graceffa's ex boyfriend. Leave me alone. If my crime is being boring, your crime is being nothing. Chris Clemons, I think called him a, a Topshop clearance mannequin from 2016. And I was just like, I was like, holy shit. Wait, that's pretty good. But women can kind of do that, too. You know Shogun, the lead guy in Shogun? My friend was like, he's like a Sheehan Tom Hardy.

And I was like, that's so real. You know what I was thinking about? I was thinking about it too because I was like, straight guys are probably like the worst at insults because,

and we just aren't creative. Cute skirt, bitch. And you're like, they're jeans, you dumbass. You know what I think? And I was thinking about it and this is my interpretation

of what it is. It's why when straight guys insult each other, it's really not that creative. It's because I think straight guys are really insecure. So it doesn't take much. So they're just like, it's one word things. They're just like loser.

Like whatever beta. Yeah, exactly. That's all it takes. You're like, ow. Whereas anyone else, it's like, they're going to have to come up with more. Oh, yeah. One of your ears is messed up, and you're like, oh! Like women, oh, you're just. And you're like, oh!

Women, oh, you're just scared because you're afraid to do anything in your entire life. It's a stupid bitch. They deconstruct everything. You're like, oh! Yeah. Oh. Luckily having sisters, we do not do those type

of insults on each other. We don't. But we'll kind of be like, oh my god, this person in my life. And then we'll go off. And then it's like, damn. Jesus. What do you say about me? Yeah.

Woo. Yeah, women. Yeah. Look, I'm impressed. Well, because they see it. Women gaming. Yeah, women gaming. They're like listening and they see it.

And then they're like, mm. Yeah. But do you think that they sometimes, do you think that they like regret it after? Or does it feel like a good release? Well, I mean, some people like that. Like I said, these people who are just out there on their their platforms and they're not holding back. I think that's who they are. You have to let go.

It's like Internet's forever. They own it. But some people own it and they've been doing it for years and they're good at it. Drew have to let go because it's like internet's forever. They own it. But some people own it and they've been doing it for years and they're good at it. Like Drew. Drew. Yeah,

Drew Afwalo. And I mean, and here's the thing. I'm like, I am not capable of that but I have a, very much a level of respect for people who can do that

because it's, and you have to be proud. That's another level of being like unapologetically online. that's a good one. Because you will also, you do inevitably get so much haters.

Oh, 100%. You get so much haters. And I don't think we have many haters in our fan base. They roast us. I wouldn't call them fans at a certain point. Right. But I think it really is like once you open the can of worms,

it's never going to be able to be sealed shut. So once you're a creator online and you spill some tea, then people want the whole pot. Like, and the bags, the tea bags, and the silverware. Did you guys hear about that whole TikTok story, Poopgate? Poopgate? Poopies? Poopgate? Wait, wait, wait.

Are you talking about the poopies that I think you're talking about? I don't know. Why are you pulling your hand away? Are you online in a way that I think you're online? Poopgate Poopgate? Poopies? Poopgate? Wait, wait, wait Are you talking about the poopies that I think you're talking about? I don't know Why are you pulling your hand away? Are you online in a way that I'm not? Hello No, is this about Hello

Okay, sorry, say more Okay, it's about the female TikToker who lives in New York And lived with a Victoria's Secret model And she revealed that she used to live with a Victoria's Secret model Didn't say her name And this girl used to I heard about this Wipe her butt with poop and then keep the poop off. Toilet paper.

Keep the toilet paper in her back. And then she went off. And then people went ham. Guys, I'm cool, okay? Wait. This whole story is to show you that I'm cool. She would keep the used toilet paper. This model was a horrible roommate.

Horrible roommate. Stole clothes from the other tenants. Yeah, so she spilled she spilled tea and then like showed pictures and then people went crazy like who who who and then yeah and now she's like oh shit oh shit and now she has to do like a part two part three and then be like guys don't go after all the victoria's secret models blah blah blah but then she's like okay well here's more and's more. And it's like, now her TikTok is Poopgate. It's all Poopgate.

That's what you're known for. I think Poopgate is like Watergate, like show us the file. Yes, that it is. Oh, I know something Shane didn't know. I thought you were talking about something else, which you know about, which is talking about topicality. It was the Shane Dawson and Ryland Adams podcast of talking about poopies, which I don't know enough to talk about,

but it's topical. Uh-oh. Poopies? There's always... There's just rumors about YouTubers pooping around the house and leaving the poop around. Dude, what is going on? People are weird with poop. You gotta clean up your poop. I did this morning get served a TikTok where a girl was showing she poops in her backyard

and she like digs. I don't think that's like the worst. Well, it's not as bad as pooping around the house. There's levels to where you poop and that's not as bad. Poop pipe put in purse. That's crazy. I don't understand that. Let's wrap up the poopy talk.

Okay, enough poopy talk. You're like, yay, it's topical. Let's get straight to it. Can I say, can I vent about something, though, with TikTok that I don't think I've shared that bothers me more than anything on TikTok, which is when people start off and they're like, I have the craziest story. So I had

a manager at my job who tried to run me over with their car, and they start telling the story, and then it gets to the end of the TikTok, and they don't get to the crazy part. And then you're like, where's part two? You find part two and it's them in bed. And they're like, okay, sorry. I don't have any makeup on.

I did not expect this to blow up. Oh God, it's all on purpose. And I'm just like. It's on purpose. I'm like, what are you doing? You didn't expect it to blow up. You said an insane thing. And then it's like a day later and you're like, and they always say, I'm so sorry.

My face is so puffy and I don't have makeup on. I'm so sorry. And I'm like, what? We don't care. You were hit by a car. I was like, whenever people apologize for not wearing makeup on TikTok, I'm like, do you understand the shit that I'm seeing on TikTok? Yeah.

I just saw five insane videos. I don't care about someone not in makeup. What? Do you think they do that on purpose? Do you think they end it and then set it up so they can have a part two? But then the part two, they often are just like, anyway, so. And then it just faces out. And then it happened and then nothing.

It's like not actually interesting. I'm like, what is wrong with you? I can't stand that. Come on, tell a story. If's like not actually interesting. I'm like, what is wrong with you? I can't tell a story. You know, it's not all encompassed in one. TikToks could be like 10 minutes. Like I can't stand encompass it in one video. Don't make a part two. Yeah.

Hate it. Do you know? So you know how you're like going down your TikToks? Well, I kind of took your inspiration from you. I started going on Reddit. Me you i started going on reddit me amanda going on reddit because specifically for a reason and now i'm like kind of hooked i needed a new podcast to listen to there's a whole reddit about podcasts yeah and they gave me one and i am addicted to it it was called um bear bro. It's like an old,

like an old cold case crime in New Hampshire. And I was like, oh my God, I know I'm super late, but like Reddit has so many great opinions. And so they give you all like, oh yeah, but guys don't do this.

Don't do this. And for so many years I've been like, I wish there was just like a Google forum or something. Tell me what to watch and what I should watch and what doesn't. No, it really is great. Because I remember years ago I was like, does anybody ever get this thing where they suddenly feel like music sounds too fast to them and it's almost like an anxiety attack, but it's not. And I would try and Google it and try to like WebMD it and it would be nothing. But then Reddit would be like, yes, I get this too,

where music feels like it's at a different pace and that feels like time is moving in a weird pace. Wait, I get that too. What is that? I don't know, but now I'm gonna look on Reddit. There was a lot of people on Reddit who were like, yeah, there's supposedly a term that might be this, but it also could be this,

and it's like people got to come together. Hair in your ears? Hair in your ears, whoa. That's how you get vertigo. Whoa. Hair in your ears? Hair in your ears? Whoa. That's how you get vertigo. Whoa. Hair in your ears go the opposite way. You guys are time traveling. You're crazy.

Hey, you're crazy. No, and I'll need to put on a really slow song to calm myself down sometimes and get out of it. I've gotten this a bunch, so now I need to look at it. I used to wake up really early in the morning for school and be like, why does everything feel like it's moving? I feel like I'm moving faster than normal. What's going on?

And Reddit people were like, me too, me too. I kind of just like X-nayed that. I would never find an answer to that. It doesn't happen as much anymore, but it still occasionally would happen where it's like, I'm just like putting my hands up. Whoa. Shane, get out of here.

Shane, go. We want to talk about speed of time. Man, I'm trying to think we were watching we just finished Baby Reindeer all of us did that show

insane everyone should watch that show but it's intense there are some trigger warnings in there I would say pretty much

everyone like pretty pretty like you want to be in a good headspace watching it but the acting and the performance and it's so beautifully shot. It's really impressive. Like, and it had triggers that affect me.

But I was able to get through them because the performance and the way the cinematography was all really, like, good in a way that kind of took me away from it. But, yeah, I mean, talking about all that, like, ooh-wee, to deal with a stalker in 2015, 2016, like where people really weren't aware of like online stalking and stuff back then, nightmare town, but that show was really well done. So talented. Richard Gad, I believe is his name.

Writer, creator, stars in it. Just like also about sharing your story. Like so vulnerable to share what he shares. And to act in it. And no spoilers, obviously. And to act in it. But like he shares so much. And to act in it, a.k it, AKA to volunteer to relive it.

Yeah. Insane. I, but I will say, I think what you were saying too is like the way it shot, it felt very, um, it was like fast paced in a way where like it felt like a comedy,

but it was a drama. And I just thought it was so well done. Like the episodes just flew. And the acting again. Yeah. Amazing. Baby Reindeer.

All across the board. So good. You watched all of Fallout, right? Did you watch Fallout? I did watch all of Fallout. I am on episode two because I'm

watching Shogun. I also want to watch Under the Bridge, a Hulu with Lily Gladstone and Riley, Lisa Marie, Presley's daughter. It's a detective series. Okay. gun i also want to watch under the bridge a hulu with um lily gladstone and um riley lisa marie presley's daughter it's a detective series okay um of course duh huh and i also love lily gladstone and i did watch two episodes of fallout and had some effed up dreams really yeah just like and i

love her she's from yellow jackets she's amazing And the guy is from Twin Peaks, her dad. But like, damn. I was like, whoa, not expecting it. Yeah. I went on to play like another eight hours of Fallout 4 after I watched the show. Because Fallout 4 was like the first one I watched. And it's the best graphics. And so the show, I was like, holy shit, I feel like I'm in the game.

It was so. Yeah, when you're watching it, because I've never played the game, when you're watching it, does it feel like you're in the video game? It's trippy. I'll be like, I'll see a lamp in the background, and I'm like...

No, they copied the games very well. They got to use the video game as a lookbook of what they wanted the show to look like, and everyone honored it. And Emily, our director of Pit, she's a huge Fallout nerd. And she was like, this is a love letter to the game. And like the story, because, you know, it can be tough. When a video game or something like that gets turned into a live action,

whether it's a show or a movie, it's a gamble. We'll see how bad or good it is. But this one, like they didn't overthink the plot at all. They leaned into what the game is. And the soundtrack is exactly what it should be. So good. Love it. So The Last of Us, I never played that game.

Is that kind of a similar vibe? The Last of Us is literally like the game is a storyboard of the show. I love The Last of Us. It's pretty much the first game one to one. Yeah. With some changes but it's very simple. Do you think like art department

is kind of obsessed with like getting the lookbook from the video game and then being like ooh. I think they hire when they hire

the right people. Yeah. Because there's a lot of things where they hire and it's people who clearly didn't know. Who want to reinvent the wheel.

Or they just didn't know or respect the original content. And I think it's important to see my critique of Last of Us is I'm like, it's cool. It's one to one. But I'm like, sometimes I'm like, my view of it, because people do get upset. And I get upset too when something feels too different. But I'm like, once it's a TV show, I'm like, it's a new thing.

It's a brand new thing. And I have to remove that part of me that enjoyed the video game or the book. And this is a new thing it's a brand new thing and i have to remove that part of me that enjoyed the video game or the book and this is a new thing uh because like you know i read books are tough i read i read dune but i was like okay this is a whole new thing now granted i think the movies are i enjoyed the movies more but like what about the original compared to the book uh i never had from fall i never watched i tried to watch the original i got got five minutes in and I was like, I cannot fucking watch. Dude, I watched the whole original. That shit is ridiculous. It is outrageous.

No, it's so stupid. It's outrageous. I've seen a lot of clips. But it feels very like Twin Peaks vibes. He's such a cool actor. Yeah, he's a great actor. Well, same director of Twin Peaks. Yeah, yeah. David Leitch. He's insane. So cool. But I like that about Fallout. it's like it's a new

story and they but they did really honor the game the music and i get i get the dreams too i i want the second season i want the second season to uh because they kind of had like different archetypes of characters of different play styles they didn't have the type of play style i do in fallout which i feel like most people do which is really sneaky person with just a pistol, but nobody ever sees me. Are you in the real world or in the bunker? Is it ever played in the bunker? Fallout 4, you start in a vault.

All the games are played a little differently because there's Fallout. I played Fallout 3 back in the day where you play as someone who grew up in the vault. So you're a baby. You're kind of like the main character where you grew up in there. You never experienced life before the nuclear devastation.

And then Fallout 4, you play someone who's, you're witnessing the explosions. You get to a vault. You get in. You get cryogenically frozen. Fallout New Vegas, you play as just a guy out in the wasteland. You wake up. You, someone tried to murder you.

You were shot in the head, but you survived, and then you're trying to find who tried to kill you. That's the whole plot of that game. Wait, that's fun. That game is people consider the best. See, I think me starting video games like full time is very dangerous.

Oh, Fallout would be a lot. Fallout's a lot. I think I would get addicted. Fallout's a lot. It's a time consuming game. But you would love it. If you play, here's what I think you would do, and I don't mean this to be-consuming game. But you would love it. If you play it, here's what I think you would do.

And I don't mean this to be condescending. I think you would play it on super very easy because part of the fun of those games is just going around and talking to people and engaging with characters and making character choices. I think you'd have more fun playing Baldur's Gate in that way.

I set Fallout to easy because I care about the story and I still like to have fun and a game shouldn't be stressful to me. I hate when it gets too scary. Shane has seen me where I'm like, oh! Oh god! Oh my god! It's just like a guy.

I'll be reading in the other room and I just hear no! No! Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god! No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. And I'm just, I just hear, no! No, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god! Oh my god, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! And I'm just sitting there just like. Meanwhile when I play video games, I'm just like. Walked in.

I'm just there just like. I can relate to you on that because I'll be like doing my own thing and Aitra will be like, don't do that, don't do that. Don't go in there. Don't go in there. I can relate to you on that because I'll be like doing my own thing and H will be like don't do that don't do that don't go in there don't go in there

or he'll be like don't go in there don't go in there oh my god and I'll be like another language he's like oh yeah

he'll play with people who speak Russian sometimes so it's like a whole that's gotta be it's a whole so funny he has like an office space where we get to shut the door.

But sometimes we open it, he'll be like, don't go in there, don't go in there. I'll be like, fuck. And I'm like, what's wrong? And he's like, oh, nothing. I just couldn't go in the room. I'm like, okay. Oh, my God. I mean, you see me in gaming videos.

Like with Minecraft, I'm screaming like a crazy person. No, we all have different gaming styles. Because for me, according to those i'm like my favorite time to to game is early in the morning what oh yeah dude if i wake up at i'll wake up at like 6 a.m and i'm like hell yeah dude it's time to game and like it's low volume and i'm just chilling like playing playing zelda i'm like that's that's the best wow i got a cup of coffee no there was the hades soundtrack i've've never played Hades, but it was stuck in my head for months.

You love music, like music connected to gaming. I love music. I have a very special relationship with music. Yeah, you do. Because I think music has such a strong impact on movies and everything. Agreed. It can make it or break it sometimes. I totally agree. But yeah, you're a freak.

Yeah, you're a little freak. See, I like my coffee. I pull tarot. I do journal. I cannot handle sounds in the morning. I have it on low volume. Meanwhile, I'm sleeping. You're fine.

You're fine. While you're pulling your tarot and drinking your coffee, while you're playing games and murdering people, I'm asleep. That's nice. That's nice. That's nice that's nice i'm dreaming about yeah yeah follow gave me effed up dreams so did shogun i want my men and i want my ship i want my men and i want my ship you cocksucker i cannot stop doing his voice i know it's intense it's crazy no that's not it she and tom hard Hardy. She and Tom Hardy.

When my friend said that, I was like, slay, queen. Slay. So I feel like we're getting towards the end here. Yeah. I guess the last thing I'll ask, Amanda, do you have any advice for us? Oh. Just throwing you on the spot. Anyways.

Well, I will be married almost one year and we've been together we thought we were together eight years but we've been together nine okay hilarious we're like oh fuck oh it's been nine years oh right wow um my biggest advice say is like just say sorry like just say sorry and another thing is like really communicate your little routines like we have this thing now where I I come home and I need to vent my day but sometimes I don't want to put it on him so I'll come in and be like in this weird place for like an hour and he's like hey it's better if you just spent your day like right off the bat so that we can just get into the night and have a good time and I'm like oh yeah I don't have to stop being parts of myself

to like make this work like not saying like you're married, just like be like, ah, here it is. But it's like, I get to, we, we actually get to like problem solve things that work for both of us. The, yeah, the biggest advice is just say sorry. And like really, really communicate what you need because it's way worse to cold shoulder. And trust me, sometimes I'm like, I want a cold shoulder. You so hard right now. It's like, I don't want to cry right now. I don't want to like open up right now. I want to just be angry.

It feels good right now for me to be like in this angry place. But I promise it's just like so much better to just like release it and say sorry. Even if you're like, I know I was right. I know I was right. But it's like just say sorry. That's my biggest advice.

Yeah. But I love being married. I really do. And for me, it definitely felt a little bit different. Like I don't think I changed, but our relationship changed. Like it just a lot of pressure went off because after you get married, I don't think I changed, but our relationship changed. It just, a lot of pressure went off because after you get married, six months after, you're in this, I don't even know what it is. It's like Avatar.

You're in this ding, ding, ding, this weird world. You're high emotion, high intensity. Everything that touches you feels like, I don't know what it is. Like I think it's all the attention you get, all the energy you get, all like even gifts or celebration or like cheers or like let me see the ring or like it's like this like, what are those avatar things where they're like boom. The little jellyfish. Yeah. So it feels like you're like in this. Yeah. And a lot of being perceived. It's a lot of being perceived and it's really really cool and you you you some you

sometimes feel like you're like wait i you're like overwhelmed by it and then you're like i don't want it to end and it's like this weird push and pull and when that subsides it it's really cool. It's like calm. Hell yeah. Yeah. Awesome. Thanks. Yeah. Thanks for sharing that.

Yeah, no problem. And you didn't get to share the other news about you. What? Oh, yeah. What? The thing that some people have clocked is that I- Here's the real tell-all. I also have two cats.

No, he's like, he's a menace. Like Bones, he's the sweetest, most social, cuddly, like aggressively, like you will cuddly, aggressively,
