with us today Sid and Olivia hi guys hi hi hi I feel like you guys are going to your

doctor's appointment hi hi hi hello for those watching and listening Sid and Olivia

have worked with Smosh over the years plenty of times. But this whole episode is about Smosh the sitcom this Friday at 6 p.m. Or wait, yes. 6 p.m. The pre-show is at 5.30 p.m. It's a 90-minute show. And then we have a VIP after show. That's right.

What? Pretty sexy. Talking about it. And Sid and Olivia, you both pretty much wrote this entire sitcom. Sorry. Sorry. So we're going to talk about that today.

Thank you for being here. Thank you for having us. Thank you for letting us into the building. Yeah, thank you for letting us back into the building. It's been hard. It's been so fun just having you both around again. I know you had to like take security measures and we have to have people watching us. We're both on a no-fly list, so it really does mean the world.

It means the world to be allowed in the building. What happened? How did you get on the no-fly list? Oh, that I'm not at liberty to say. I think their lawyer said they weren't allowed to say it. Our lawyer said we're not allowed to say it. Who's standing off camera, by the way. Hi!

How are you? Stop it! Stop it! But yeah, so it's just like an, by the way. Hi! How are you? Stop it! Stop it! But yeah, so it's just like an honor to be sitting here. It's an honor to be out of jail. Our ankle monitors are buzzing right now. They're buzzing off the charts. We are not where we're allowed to be in the vicinity of where we're...

But yeah. Before we rolled today, I was like, all right, we just need to buckle up. This is going to be insane. Yeah, we have a plan, but fuck like, all right, we just need to buckle up. This is going to be insane. Yeah. We have a plan, but fuck it. Yeah. Who cares?

Who cares? Just to introduce this, Smosh the sitcom was an idea that I pitched like forever ago. We finally, this year, were like, let's do it. And then it was kind of just given to me. And it was just like, all right, Shane, who should- Go. They're like, who do you want? Who do you think should write it? And I was like, well

I want it to be insane. I need it to be as insane as humanly possible. We want it to be bonkers. So truly it was like, alright Sid and Olivia are the perfect people to write that. And then we brought you guys in. I kind of met with you guys and I was like, alright so here's the

premise. Here's what I'm thinking. Here's all this stuff. And then it was like, alright and, so here's the premise. Here's what I'm thinking. Here's all this stuff. And then it was like, all right. And I'll talk to you guys in a couple days. And you're like, all right, see ya. And then. They're like, we got this. Explosions behind them.

Created magic. It's been so funny. The script is so, so, so funny. Yeah, I don't know if it's magic. It's chaos. It's definitely chaos. Chaos is like neutral magic. You know It's definitely chaos. Chaos is like neutral magic, you know? Magic sounds good. Chaos is good or bad.

Well, we'll find out, May 10th. It's chaotic neutral. It's a tough thing to write, too, because where I'm like, alright, so write out this script, but we need to have a ton of surprises and traps for all the performers. There's two actors per character.

And also, all of this script can be improvised. Nothing is held to it. On the night of, I mean, I certainly plan on just going off the rails and not doing what anyone expects. The idea is we wanna break the show. We want the show to break. We kept saying the best possible thing that could happen is a light could fall. If a light in the studio falls down on Krungle and somebody gets maybe injured,

it would be the best possible thing to happen. If I get injured, it would be so funny because then no one would be hurt, but it would be so funny. What? You're not kidding. Olivia, no. I'm like, yeah, that's even funnier. Or a person.

It is funnier if like a crew member. Olivia was like, she's like holding up the cue cards. It's funny, but I'm volunteering because it's not funny if I volunteer anyone else to do it. Right. Totally. But you're not on camera. So then what it is is just a real injury in real life

that nobody knows about. Which is funny for us us which is funnier the articles after very fun i think it's funny so syd and olivia want one of the cast members to get injured and we're gonna spread it spread it on that but it's it's it is really funny that like in writing it out in talking about it all like i've been nervous and but i've been nervous in the way of like i truly have been saying, I hope it goes wrong. I want this to go wrong in the correct way. But not like those plays that are like Peter Pan gone wrong.

No, not Spider-Man. Because they all know what's going to happen. Not Spider-Man. I don't want someone swinging around with a broken leg. Yeah, we're hoping for no deaths. Yeah, we're hoping for no injuries. Well, no. No, I think it's just going to be absolute chaos. That's the point. Destruction. Yeah. It's hoping for no injuries. Well, no. No, I think it's just going to be absolute chaos.

That's the point. Destruction. Yeah. It's going to be fun. We wrote something and now we get to break it. Yeah. And it's already breaking and I'm so happy about it. It's a blast. No, already rehearsing it, I'm like, this is going to be nuts, man.

It's so fun. So, like, how did you guys go about writing this with all of those added things that you had to do? We wrote it like a fan fiction. We write each other fan fictions for like every holiday or birthday. Really? How long are these fan fictions? So long.

And like so long. It'll be like 70 pages and 14 point comic sans. What? They have one body, two heads. And everyone always will say, like recently it was Olivia's birthday, and obviously I wrote her a fan fiction that took me days

and it was so stupid and I was getting really stressed about it and I would be like sitting downstairs and being like, oh my God, I gotta break this story. Like when does the tornado come in? Like it's like so crazy. Can I ask a premise of any of these fan fictions? A lot of them are based on

weird deep inside jokes. So like other jobs. We've known each other for half of our lives. Right. Literally starting now half of our lives. And so there's a lot to pull from. Yeah. So it'll be like a joke on a joke on a joke on a joke on a joke. The most two recent ones were like

a side job we were working that we were like okay it's a fanfiction about this side job. Not you guys, not Smosh. No, not Smosh. It's not Smosh. But Phantom and a sock. I know, we can. It's just not.

We did a side job that was meant for children. And so. Of course there's a lot of stuff. I'm aware of this. Yes. So the fan fiction was a bunch of pitches that never made it. And they're all the worst thing

you could ever possibly think of. Unreadably bad. This is so fun. This is what we do for each other every holiday. Every birthday. Yeah. And everyone around us will be like, oh, so you give yourself homework. Yeah.

No, like last- Which is true. When I wrote the one that was same kind of premise, but different take on it. Same job, but different take. Different franchise, same job. Yes. same job but different take different franchise same job yes and I wrote I just like literally I quit a job to write it

because I was like I need time to write this she quit that job to write it I did I did I did I did so she did the same job but for free and I was like I have to get home early so you're putting days of work oh months but for free. And I was like, I have to get home early because of it. Yeah, so.

So you're putting days of work into this. Months. Like months. Like this comes months before. Horrifying, horrifying. Because Olivia, your birthday was, as of recording this just a couple days ago. Yeah, yeah.

Happy birthday. Thank you. So how long before her birthday did you start working on your story? I had the idea in January. Yeah, yeah. This is the coolest thing ever. That's actually so sweet. Wait a second. This is the coolest thing ever.

That's actually so sweet. Wait a second. It's the best. They're all saved, right? Oh, yeah. And they're printed out, too. Are you ever going to create a little... No one else can.

I mean, you could... It's no one... Okay, just for each other, then. I would... Because what you guys write, what you wrote in this sitcom is so batshit crazy. I cannot imagine what you guys are just writing for each other

that only you two can see. It's off the rails. It's not of this planet. No, it's not of this world. It's not allowed. And it's all misspelled. Yeah, and the other thing, it has to be misspelled.

It's all misspelled. It's all on purpose. Yeah, purposefully, of course. It's all misspelled. I can spell. I know, but I didn't know if it's just like, oh, I don't edit it.

Shane, we can write. To misspell on purpose for comedy purposes is so funny. It's the only thing I like to do. We add numbers into words. It's great. It's like an actual crazy person wrote it. Recognizing the awareness right now. I that yes we are unwell yeah and like okay so we're ill so let's get one thing straight we're ill um we're ill and we came in to help

your show we came in to make you guys sick like us. You know what I can't stop forgetting about when you told me Sid when your mom or someone walked in and you had a fake beard and you were braiding it and you were like uh and she was like oh great. We didn't even know each other It was my Joker

origin story is I was in like fifth grade and I was sitting in my room. I lived in Vegas. So already if you're a fifth grader living in Vegas, like you are going to become the Joker. And I was like sitting in my room alone and my mom walked in and she looked over and what she saw was me wearing a fake beard, braiding it, looking at nothing. And then she looked at me and went, and I was like, and that defined the rest of my personality

for all of time. Your mom was like, she's going to be a writer. Cut to my favorite story ever. She was just like, oh god. This came out of me? God damn it. Cut to, meanwhile, I was at the same age.

I was obsessed with making movies. Cut to. But my favorite cut to meanwhile, I was at the same age. I was obsessed with making movies. Cut to. Cut to. But my favorite thing to do, because I also was a kid who ate more than I was told I was supposed to. I was like, oh, I would film myself. I would make a movie, quote unquote, that was like, oh, the joke is I sit down eat three full meals and then I play it backwards now I was like nine so like it wasn't that elevated of a joke it wasn't quite a joke it was more well excuse for me to eat it's not a joke no it's it's not a joke it's

just sickness so meanwhile you're crying you told told us this story. And I also cried. I was like, I had a lice haircut. Oh, I had a lice haircut and crutches. And I was just like this like awful little like thing. She would sit on her neighbor's yard to eat different snacks. Oh, my God. Because her parents would be like, no more. They'd be like, please stop.

We know you're not even hungry anymore. Why are you doing this to yourself? And I'd be like, yeah, I'm fine. I'm going to go hang out with the neighbors. And then I'd grab food and this to yourself and I'd be like yeah I'm fine I'm gonna go hang out with the neighbors and then I'd grab food and I'd go and I'd eat it on their lawn and then I'd come back being like they weren't home so anyway and then we met each other

but the snacks are gone all the snacks are gone we gotta get more then we met when we were 14 and now we're okay we're not okay but you know what I mean early on in writing this show, Amanda, you were in the writer's room for this day. And we were like, let's go to lunch. And we go to lunch.

And you guys are recounting this story. And we're like at a busy restaurant. There's people sitting next to us. But we're laughing. I'm laughing out loud so hard, crying. Shane and I come up for air. And we just look at each other we go do you know what's happening i don't know what's going on i'm like i think they're

telling their life story and it's the funniest ever i think they're i think they're telling us their life story i can't tell i think it's talking about itself no it was so funny because it made things so clear in my head who you guys were i was was like, and I already had known you for a while, but I was like, oh no, I needed these stories to really connect and understand. Yeah. How did they get that way? Yeah. Yeah, exactly.

I was like, oh, that's how it was made. Just sitting and having a conversation with you guys is truly like watching a show. Oh my gosh. Because you guys, I've never known two people who go at such rapid pace like you two. Like, just what we just experienced, just now. Our listeners are like, whoa! It's fascinating. But you guys are in lockstep with each other, too.

The amount of times you guys say things at the same time. Oh, it's terrifying. And you're not twins. No. You're not even related. Not related. The weirdest thing is that people will say, like, we'll do a sketch, and we just did a sketch, and there are so many comments that are like, it took me eight watches to realize these are two different

girls. And it's like, we don't look anything like each other. We look entirely different. We're both just white. No, you're both just white. And I understand, and I get it. Completely different faces, completely different hair colors. It's just that we both are talking at you and with you. It's truly just that instead of talking with you and being on the same's truly just that instead of talking with you and being on the same plane as you. Our eyes are different colors. We're like, and you're like, stop.

And you're like, oh my God. And then I guess maybe you're overwhelmed and then you're like, there's two of them. I thought I was seeing double because I thought I was having a panic attack. First of all, both of you are so different in my eyes. Like, A, you look so different, but you guys have such different vibes. Like, I feel like when you're talking, A, you look so different, but you guys have such different vibes.

Like, I feel like when you're talking, Olivia's like going off on this, like, she's so excited. She's in this room and Sid's going, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then she goes in and then Sid will like do the like, oh, okay, they're not on the same page.

Let's gather, let's gather around. And Olivia's like, oh yeah, we'll get on the same page. But hold on one second. Let me just go to this other place. That's really good. You guys are the same, but then occasionally you're like the two masks, the happy mask and the sad mask.

I'm always the sad mask. No. You guys are ranting and then all of a sudden you'll kind of stop and you'll look at me and you'll just be like, yeah, what do you think about that? It's like a what? I think it's that you bring it. I'm still processing what you guys just said.

You bring it back to a place. Shane, what do you think about that? It's because you have a lower register voice, so it cuts through everything. So good. I don't know what it is, but I think, I mean, I think I have, well, I have resting depressed face and like, I truly will be sitting just kind of relaxing and someone's like, God, what happened to you? Are you okay?

Like, are you okay? And I'm like, oh no, I'm just relaxing and I'm okay. I'm just relaxing. Like, I'm relaxing and thank you for asking. I'm literally just having a lovely day. I'm watching Vanderpump Rules. I'm fine. I'm thinking about pottery.

And so I think people assume I'm sad when I'm not. I just look like this. One of my eyelids is a little lazy. That can throw people off. But so like sometimes, especially when we were younger this. One of my eyelids is a little lazy. That can throw people off. So sometimes, especially when we were younger and people were trying to understand us as a duo. What's the difference between you guys?

Because we started writing together when we were in college and then we were getting repped as a duo coming out of college. We would go on all these general meetings where people would be like okay, I've got you two. I know what you two are. You're the fox and the hound. The fox and the hound. What she's giving you is a joke on a joke on a joke on a joke that she, we haven't explained even the first joke. I hope there's fan fiction about that. What it is is that people would relate us to other duos and be,

you're the, this one, and you're the, this one, you're the, this one, and you're the, this one. Eventually we started making jokes about that. It would escalate. You're Mary Kate and Ashley. Oh, I get it. You're the, this one, and you're the, this one. Oh, I get it. You're the this one and you're the this one. Eventually we started making jokes about that. It would escalate. You're Mary-Kate and Ashley. Oh, I get it. You're the this one and you're the this one. Oh, I get it. You're the fox and the hound. That's where that came from. I went A to Z. What were the biggest duos? I didn't give a fuck. See? That's what I meant. She's going,

and then sits going, you asked us a question. You asked us a question. What's the biggest duo that they compared you guys to in the beginning? At the beginning, obviously, everyone was like, oh, it's Broad City because we're two girls. Oh, God. No.

And here's the thing. I love them. I don't think we're anything like that. I love Broad City, but Broad City did Broad City. Yeah, Broad City is Broad City. So we can't do Broad City because Broad City did Broad City. Only comparison that they have, I swear. Yeah, well, it's because a lot of women aren't allowed to do anything.

Yeah. Only comparison that they have, I swear. Yeah, well, it's because a lot of women aren't allowed to do anything. And so when women are allowed to do anything, people go, oh, it's like that. I saw a woman do that once. Okay. And you go like, sure, for sure. So, yeah, people will do that. But then for a long time, we were like, everyone's like, oh, I get it. Olivia's the happy baby and Sydney is the sad baby.

Just like what Shane just did to you guys. Okay. I'm just saying what you guys are, occasionally you turn into that. Okay, so what age were you when you met? 14. I was 14. I'm trying to picture you guys before you knew each other. 14. Because it's kind of like thinking about.

I'm reading her beard. I was counterculture. You know who I picked? I was emo. You were emo? You as emo sounds so funny. I was punk. Because like, you're emo, and people are like, how are you feeling you're like like yeah i'm feeling

kind of sad today like i feel like that no 100 sad right now that's what yeah it's that it's like i don't know i'm having like pretty much a terrible time it's just like you met when you're 14 yeah what was what was your how how quickly did you guys become like this took a second yeah it took a second really well because we were, I was a year older. But not anymore. But not anymore. Now I went backwards.

So now I'm a year younger. Yeah, and now I'm aging. She's aging backwards. We're trying to figure out how it works for the deal. Yeah. I'm talking to the wizard this weekend. I'm trying to go, yeah.

Yeah, we're going to talk to the wizard and figure it out. But we were on an improv team together. We were in different grades and they were like, you guys aren't allowed to be in a scene together because no one else gets to talk. And then we were like, heard, heard, absolutely heard. And then, uh, when we, when she went to UCLA and then the next year I got in and I was like, I called her, I was like, should I go? And she was like, you're going actually. Yeah. And then it started. And then that's when it began. Like that's when like us being a duo began, not us being friends. In high school, we were friends,

and we would, like, hang out, but and we, like, were on the same improv team. We had all the same friends. We were, you know, in high school, when you're, like, a grade difference, there's, like, more of a difference there. Big time. Were you in UCLA at the same time as Angela? Yeah. Yeah, they know Angela. I met Angela

my freshman year of college. What? And we had, there was, like, it, it was like we were both in theater. And there was like a thing where it's like the Bruin Buddy system where like everyone who is like coming in gets matched with like a person a year older than them. Yeah. And I remember the first time I met her, she hadn't met her Bruin Buddy yet and I hadn't met my Bruin Buddy yet. And we met and she literally went, do you want to just pretend we're Bruin buddies? And I was like, I would do that. I think it's a match made in heaven.

That's so cute. Fucking love Angela. Angela's like an absolute 15 out of 10. She's the best. She was like one of the first people I met. Did you know that they knew each other? No. Yeah.

Isn't that funny? It's a small town. It's a silly small town. The town of UCLA. Silly small. Yeah. She's the best. When you guys met, were you immediately like,

ooh, you're my friend? Or was it just like, you guys met, were you immediately like, ooh, you're my friend? Or was it just like, uh? I think we were just like, oh, I always thought she was fucking funny. Yeah, I always thought she was super funny. We were all part of the big friend group. We were just mostly just being like, what's high school? I just feel like your guys' sense of humor works so well together. Were you guys, like this is going to sound stupid,

were you funny before you were hanging out with each other, like this is gonna sound stupid, were you funny before you like were hanging out with each other? Like when you were like 12 and stuff, but like, what did your friends

think of your sense of humor before you both were hanging out? I think humor is subjective, but I think so. I think like, yeah, did you have weird, I think we were weird

and I think that's funny. Cause you don't, I can't imagine you had any other friends who could keep up with the same pace. I don't know. I will, yeah. I will.

Yeah. I think we were in different types of friend groups. Yeah, definitely. And had like different experiences before we met each other. Yeah. Because like you weren't you in like a. I would always befriend all of the most fucked up people in my AP classes. Because that was like

they were like really had really great dark senses of humor but they weren't like comedy people or like acting people they were just like

the most fucked up people in like the smartest most fucked up people in my AP classes I would be like I would be like

that's my friend because they get what's going on in here and I was in a friend group where I would stand outside the choir room during lunch while my friends made out. Wait, like watching the door? Watching the door for them, making sure no one would go in? I would watch the door while two of my friends would make out. And then what did the principal say?

Oh, then the principal saw us on the security camera footage and called us into the office and said to them, like, hey, guys, like during lunch, you got to be in the lunch area. You cannot sneak off into the choir room. Sydney, this is sad. Oh, my God. Are you dead serious? Sydney, you're the sad baby. She literally was just like, they were like, Sydney, don't do this. This is not good.

This is sad. You were just trying to be a good friend. She is. She is. Sid. Here's the thing. I'm a fantastic friend. You are. If you want to make out with someone, I'll hire you. In is. Sid. Here's the thing. I'm a fantastic friend. You are.

If you want to make out with someone, I'll hide you. In an auditorium. I don't think I will. I'll hide you. I don't. What did they think? You were going to dedicate your life to that kind of labor? Well, Amanda, I did.

So are you telling me I made a mistake here? Are we talking about Olivia now? All I do is protect Olivia from making out. Yeah. Yeah. Olivia. I'm not allowed to. No. Olivia makes out.

I stand on the door. But on the inside. When someone changes, you're just standing there. We're at a general meeting and they go, so the difference between you two is you make out and you stand guard. And you go, that's correct. And I go, that's right. So yeah, writing the script was...

Did we write something? Yeah, you guys actually wrote a great script. Writing the script was... Did we write something? You guys actually wrote a great script. Writing the script was really fun. If of us, which one of us is you guys? Oh, you're Shane. I already know I'm Shane. You think so? I think that you guys are the exact same person.

I really do. I think you guys are the same person. I relate so much to Sid because in my friend groups, I feel very similar to Sid sometimes. Where it's like, guys, like the mom energy. We do both have a, it's so funny because I think normally people would not see me in like a nurturing way. But there is a weird one-two punch that gets you. Oh, no, I see it.

If you know me really well, I'm going to fucking bring you groceries. Yes. Oh, my God. No, the amount of, like, if you're having a not great day, like, she will be sending you an edible arrangement. You're going to get one. And it's like, what? You don't need to do that. You're going to get one.

What are you talking about? See, I feel that from you. I feel that. The thing that I can't. But that's Amanda. I think that's more Amanda's job. It is. feel that from you. I feel that. But it's mixed with the thing that I can't. But that's Amanda. I think that's more Amanda's job. It is. Yeah.

It's so interesting. I'm like nobody. You're like no. I'm like no. No, you are. No, no, no, you are. You're also a lot like me. There is like different sides of the coin.

Coin, yeah. Yeah. I think people, okay, now, buckle up. Oh, no. I'm going to use a big word. Is it? And it's going to make me sound like a pick me, but I do like. Is it tushy?

people are tushy, no I think people are dichotomous I think people have opposite traits that they hold all the time and I think I'm seeing that in everyone all the time now, like oh you're this and this and it's not that you're very this it's like you're most extreme trait and the opposite for sure

I'm simultaneously so fucking sane and out of my fucking mind yeah that's fair yes yeah that's fair i know in some ways in some ways i do relate to you on like that the energy in the aspect when we get like excited and passionate and then also when we reveal like i feel like i reveal things and people are like whoa yeah that's really dark that that happened and i'm like no no no it's fine it's great it's funny I think it's fine I was kidnapped it's fine

I think as comedians and also just like what we do creative people I think what like is crazy to us and not crazy to us is just different

than a lot yeah I realize that a lot when we read Reddit stories and like how we interpret things and people are just like you guys are different than a lot of people

and I'm like yeah I guess yeah like being in our space things that impact us or don't impact us i think when it comes to that i am very much and like like like really when i respond to things i'm like and you're like okay okay and i feel like that's also kind of sid's energy but i don't know i mean it's the it mean, it's that different things bring out different things in different people. A hundred percent, a hundred percent.

And I think that the things I see in you that I see in Olivia are the ability to connect with people despite not really knowing them. Yeah. Like seeing somebody and being like, I'm gonna make you feel so safe right now. Like that's not something I have, but that is something you guys definitely have.

Yeah, I don't have that. But you also have that, but you have to earn it. No, what I... Sid has to earn it. What I have is I am the type of person that someone on the street will come up to and be like, I got to tell you about my divorce. Oh my God, people do that to me.

Yes. Whoa! I think you guys are more similar than you think. No, I truly... What is that, Uber rides are really rough for me because people just start telling me such crazy shit. That's so true. Immediately. Why do you guys think that is? I don't know.

Blue eyes? I think part of the problem. Yeah. Oh, it's your eyes. Is it your blue eyes? I'm like, my life story. I think, unfortunately, I'm too polite where I can't shut people down. I try, when I get into like an Uber, if I'm like a stranger near me trying to talk to me, I can't just be like, and look away.

I'm always like, oh, yeah, for sure. But I never ask anything. I'm not asking questions. I never ask questions. I'm trying, I truly want to, because I have social anxiety. So if I get into an Uber, I'm like, this I never ask questions I'm trying I truly want to because I have social anxiety so if I get into a super I'm like this person could kill me

because they're driving this car and so I'm like there and I just want to I just want to like be in my space and pretend that I'm alone right now

and then nine out of ten times they will start talking to me if it's a guy. If it's a lady driving, which doesn't happen too often, I feel like,

I don't know, but if it's a guy, especially if it's a guy over the age of 40, I'm about to hear some crazy shit. Oh, boy. I remember one time I had a 15-minute ride,

and within that ride, he pitched to me his entire screenplay. Stunning. And the screenplay was enough for me to realize that this guy was insane. Oh no. And I was like I truly am fearing for my life right now. There's nothing better. And I love that he started off

just being like, yeah I wrote this whole screenplay okay, I won't tell, I'm not going to say anything. Oh no, no. Okay I'll give you the pitch. And I was just like, without me saying anything Oh that's amazing. That so scary that's such spec i i i i don't know what it is but like i am a i allow myself in like stranger situations like airports ubers to be just a bitch i am just like that's so i wonder if that's part of it like i don't like i'm just like i don't know i don't think i'm intimidating at all i I need to get that energy.

Oh, I think I told this on the pod maybe, but like I was running late for a flight and they weren't going to hold the flight. It was like one of those like it got delayed and we had to push through and the flight attendant was like, good luck. You got to push through all the people. And I was like seat 31 or something. And I was like, and another girl was like, oh, my God, we're going to miss it. We're on the same one. And she was like, you should go ahead of me you look pretty scary and like you'll probably get through the crowd and i was like okay and i was like excuse me we gotta i have to get to my flight and people are like i do too and i was like do you have to get to your flight in five

minutes and i'm like and i don't know what it is i just become aggressive in a way where it's like oh that's so hot fuck y'all but I used to not be like that I used to let people tell me their life story on airplanes and now I'm just like headphones in I love that do not one guy told me that he worked on the Top Gun fucking one guy told me his whole story is like top secret you know where Top Gun was filmed yeah we're not allowed to talk about it, but that's where I worked. He talked to me for five hours, and I said, never again. Wow. Never again.

No. I love meeting people and connecting to strangers. I love it, but when it's not really consensual. When it's traveling, when we're forced to be in the same place, I feel stressed. You I feel you gotta be able to set your boundaries and that's very cool that you can well I learned that I learned the many many hard times of like law yeah yeah I guess we are the same in that way yeah I mean people tell me conspiracy theories at the dog park I bro people love to tell me conspiracy theories it's so and it happens so fast all the time and I'm like how did we get here oh my that doesn't happen to me. Conspiracy

theory's not to me. No, not to me. No, it's the weirdest. It's so strange. I don't know. That'd be hilarious. No, I literally... I'm not actually kidding. One of my last Uber drives, it was a short drive. He was telling me about lizard people and how he's seen them. Oh, he's seen them!

Oh, hell yeah. I think it's your blue eyes. I think it's that you have blue eyes. I think it's your blue eyes. I think it's that you have blue eyes. I think it's your blue eyes. I think our brown eyes just, I don't know, something. They're shields. Something, or they want to tell us like,

really like, sad, deep, emotional like. And I'm fine with that usually. I mean, unless it's, yeah,

unless it goes bad. But like, I love when people are okay. So if someone talking to me can make them more okay, I'm like, fuck. Yeah. I'm into that.

I'm into it. I'm into that. So when we were writing the script, it was really funny. Because like, you're going to have to take it. Shane came to us and he was like, I want it to be really meta.

Yeah. Yeah. And really chaotic. That is ultimately the point. Yeah. The point of this is, we're playing all these characters. We've got this story out. But it's really you're watching us on stage fucking with each other.

Trying to make each other break. Trying to make each other laugh. So Mother's Day is coming up. And there's a really cool gift idea. Get your siblings together and get your mom an Aura frame. It's so cute. You can send pictures right to the frame digitally look at it it was voted best digital photo frame by wire cutter

And you can be constantly uploading more photos from it. And I could upload photos to their frame if I'm from the app. It's so cool. And it's got unlimited storage. And it's pretty awesome.

Let's go. Let's go over the characters. The characters, yeah. I love that. So you guys came up, we kind of, the pitch was like a friends, how I met your mother, like a group of friends. Yeah.

We weren't gonna do the family dynamic cause that's weird, friends allows for anything to happen. The friend group. So the first one out of the group is Benny. Benny. Played by Damien and Noah. Perfect casting. All of these characters are perfectly cast.

We spent a lot of work rearranging. Anyone could have played anyone. We felt strongly about that. But we ended up kind of shuffling it. On the whiteboard, just being like, no, not this person, this person here. So Benny. Yeah, he's the self-proclaimed leader of the friend group.

We kind of wanted to make him Chandler-esque. But like less losery and more snarky. Leaning more into... He has a lot of long pieces of information he has to deliver. A lot of lines. They crush with those. We wanted to lean into the fact

that in so many of these sitcoms there's a character in the friend group who's like, and we all know I'm in charge. And it's like, okay. And being snarky to other people, but you're like, if my friend was being snarky to me this often and taking this many dicks, I'd be like, you don't like me. And so it's just like, yeah. His whole thing is he just observes other people's flaws and comments on them. It's like someone used all the laundry detergent up. Someone's going to have to pay for that.

And we have a lot of moments where he's talking to no one and like other shit's going on in the background. Yeah. In parentheses on the line it says to no one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's a lot of parentheticals for Benny that say to no one. Oh, that explains so much in rehearsal. Yeah, yeah. Well, when you see him talking to no one and you're like, who is he talking to?

The answer is no one. Yeah, out. The answer is no one. He's just saying it to hear himself. Yeah. No, he's like one of the guys who likes to hear himself talk. Yeah. And then we have Martha.

Martha. Oh, yeah. Martha. Played by Rasha and Chance. So perfect. Amazing. Really perfect. Really freakishly perfect.

They look incredible. Oh, my God. They look so good. Like, beautiful. Like, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful hot. really perfect really freakishly they look incredible oh my god it looks so like beautiful like beautiful beautiful beautiful hot so what's martha's vibe we just took the trope of like the woman has one personality trait and it's that she's clean yeah um because it's meta it's like you know it's it is the it's the monica it's the yes there's always like's always the girl who's just clean, and she is like, you're no fun. You're just clean.

And it's like, what? And that's a really annoying trope to see, but when we're writing things to trope and we're writing things to be super meta, it's like, of course, that's what the girl has to be like. The girl has to be like, I literally am just like, no, yeah. Just like she's going to a business meeting but could get drinks after, always. Oh, yeah. The girl has to be like, I literally am just like, no, yeah. Just like she's going to a business meeting

but could get drinks after, always. Yeah. Yes. And like no one assumes that she would have any like sexual desires because she likes

the house to be clean. Yeah, yeah. Which, of course, you can't have both. Yeah, clean is the opposite of sex. Obviously. But she's a neat freak

virgin. Yeah, and then we have like real life Dominic Patron. Yeah. Oh yeah. So yeah, Dominic's Dominic is one of the only two characters in the whole thing that are just like a real Smosh lore character. Courtney's character. Yeah, Courtney. Also played by Olivia. Yeah.

Olivia's insane. Yeah, she's so good. Yeah, it's pretty awesome. They're both so good. And Courtney just fully becomes Dominic. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Yeah. Who slays it. Olivia's insane. Yeah, she's so good. Yeah, it's pretty awesome. They're both so good. And Courtney just fully becomes Dominic. Oh, yeah. She's gone. I don't see Courtney at all. Just Dominic. Breaking, it's gonna be, I think Courtney will be the hardest to break. Yeah. But I've got plans

up my sleeve. Because when you break, it's like, you know, a vibe of try not to laugh. You break and then your exact character comes in and takes over. And takes over on that same line. Yeah. Repeat that line. They just keep going in the scene.

Yeah. And if you just keep breaking, you just keep swapping back and forth. We had a moment in rehearsal with us where I think on one line we swapped like four times. Yeah. And we kept trying to nail the line. It's so funny.

Oh, it's going to happen a lot. It's so funny. And yeah, it's, oh my God, it's so funny. Yeah. Like they absolutely, we knew that like one of the tropes is like, you know. Ladies man. The ladies man. Casanova.

The Barneys, you know, and the Joey. And we were just like, well, that already exists in Dominic. Which is perfect. Yeah, might as well. Yeah. Then we have Kevin. Love Kevin. Played by Ian and Anthony.

Yes. The lovable loser. Nothing ever goes his well. Yeah. Then we have Kevin. Love Kevin. Played by Ian and Anthony. Yes. The lovable loser. Nothing ever goes his way. Down on his luck. Always getting broken up with. Yeah. He's always like, guys, I have a problem. Yeah.

Always that guy. He's pretty much the main character of every sitcom. He's like the Ted Mosby. Yeah. Kind of just like, oh, this guy's a loser, but all his friends love him. All he wants is love. Yeah, and he'll never get it. So, yeah but he they

do an amazing job they get tortured a lot I don't know if you guys like that or hate that but it happens so buckle up poor babies yeah they're like being thrown about the whole sitcom like emotionally physically poor babies but we

love him we love Kevin we love. But we love him. We love Kevin. We love Kevin and we love Ian and Anthony who are playing them. We love them. The whole friend group loves Kevin. All they want is to do something nice for him because the last 30 years of his life haven't gone well. I know.

And so, you know. It hasn't been his day, his month, or even his year. Yeah, so they want to throw a party for him. Yeah, and that's, spoiler alert, that's what, or even his year. Yeah, so they want to throw a party for him. Yeah, yeah. And that's, spoiler alert, that's what the whole episode is. Oh, baby. Throwing a party. And that's the core friend group.

That's the core friend group. Hypothetically, yeah. And then there's a couple other characters. Yeah. And then there's Krungle, played by Amanda and I. This is the Krungle and Krungle podcast now. You have to rename it from Smosh. From Krungle to Krungle. From Krungle to Krungle. Krungle to Krungle. now You have to rename it from Smosh From Krungle to Krungle

Krungle to Krungle We're in between two Krungles Oh my god How do you guys feel? I feel so activated Finally someone feels sexual from Krungle Krungle might be the biggest mess of all the characters

Because truly Krungle is inspired by a million things. Yes. Kramer. We started with Kramer. Kimmy Gibbler. Yeah. Kimmy Gibbler.

Yeah. Yeah. So true. For me, a lot of my inspiration is Golden Girls. Yep. Yeah. Yeah. That's very true.

Krungle is like somewhere between 50 and 90 years old. And ageless. Krungle aged. Ageless. Yeah. Ageless. She is the kooky neighbor. And ageless. Krungle aged. Ageless. Yeah. She is the kooky neighbor. Because every sitcom has a kooky neighbor.

Like a boundaryless neighbor that's like always in your space. Knocking over things. Why are you here? And we just took that to an extreme of like, what if there was someone that you really, really, it was like, we do not want you here. Yeah. And they say it to your face. Yeah.

And you're like, okay. But Krungle's just the best. She's a free spirit. Yeah, she's a freak. She's weird. She's lived many lives. She's done everything. Yes.

You know, because those neighbors, it's like just, they're the yes and machine. They're the way to introduce anything into the sitcom. Yes. That's Krungle. Yeah, love Krungle.

An absolute blast. We play her similarly, but also completely different. You guys definitely have different takes on Krungle, which I love. I love. It is, I'm just so excited for the Krungle spinoff. I mean, there has to be one,

because like, oh my God, it's amazing. She has so much going on in her apartment. Yeah. Her apartment is like a whole ecosystem. It's skeletons. It's just skeletons. It's just skeletons. Lining the walls.

War stories, Weird things from her exes. Did they know that they were her exes? I don't know. It's pretty awesome. I think she has... She's sponsored by Hustler. She has one of those police... What are the radios in the police cars? Oh, yeah.

She puts it on when she comes home. And she's an Uber driver who tells Shane conspiracy theories on the way to the airport. Like that's so, yeah, that's Krungle. I'm so excited for you guys to meet Krungle. It's an absolute blast. I can't be, it's my fault, but Krungle's outfit is insane. So much makeup.

Layers and layers. Heaviest eyelashes on the planet. And when I got into all this makeup, like I don't love wearing wigs and makeup and stuff. I don't know why it makes me like tired. Yeah, that's valid. I'm just kind of like out of it. But I get into all of this and I look in the mirror. I'm like, this is so funny.

Yeah. And I'm like, this is what it has to be. Oh my God, I gave myself this. Shane, you did this to yourself. Shane in this outfit fell asleep like so many times. Oh my God. But even me too. The eyelashes were so heavy.

I hope during the show it happens. That they just. If I fall asleep on stage. I hope you fall asleep in real life during the show. Once we get into the show, I'm going to lose my mind. I'm going to. Super physical. I'm going to chug a gallon of cold brew before.

And I'm going to chug a gallon of milk for myself. Yeah. So that I throw up. It's just like. It's a blast. I'm so excited. Yeah, it's going to be awesome. You guys absolutely kill it.

It is like so silly and stupid. I love our lines. You guys wrote our lines. They're so good. She has the craziest backstory that we never find out really. We just hear hints of it. You can sense it.

You can sense it. We know it. It might come out. Look, we can improvise whatever we want. That's true. We can take charge and say whatever shit we want to say. I'm just literally going to yes and everything you say, and I know that you're going to yes and everything we say.

So whatever we come up with is going to get better. I'll just say the thing we knew about Krungle from the beginning is she's a gaslighter, and she absolutely was at the January 6th insurrection. Those were the two things we were like, so this is Krungle. Yeah. That's so true. We had on a whiteboard Krungle equals gaslighter

for like weeks. She is a gaslighter. She's a total gaslighter. She's a gaslighter. You're being weird. No, you're being weird. No, you're fucking crazy. I like to think she was at January 6th but not for the same reasons as anyone. No, no, no. She walked by and she went, what's going on? Is this a farmer's market?

Am I invited? Yeah, she thought it was a farmer's market. She was trying to buy oranges from people. But she has a podium. Oh, yeah. And she has a poster for some reason. Another big thing about Krungle is that Krungle's biggest want

is to be part of the friend group. And she will never be part of the friend group. And she will never be part of the friend group. And that's a huge thing. She just wants friends. But she doesn't realize that she never will be. She's like, I'll convince her. Yeah, which is great. And then we have Chosens are in it.

Yeah. You know them. The Chosens. I don't want to say where they play a part. But they're in it. But they're in it. But they're in it. They're in it.

So they'll be there. And then we have. And then we have Tommy's character. Oh, no, we have one more other character, too. Yes, we have Young Sebastian. Oh, my God. I completely forgot about Young Sebastian. The boy genius.

How could you forget? He's been here the whole time. That's right. Young Sebastian is like a Young Sheldon vibe, boy genius. It's Young Sheldon, but worse. In fact, I'd call it a direct ripoff. It's a direct ripoff. It's a direct ripoff.

When I walked in and you guys were like, yeah, so Young Sebastian. Yeah, yeah. And I was like, what? Yeah. To the I walked in and you guys were like, yeah, so Young Sebastian. I was like, what? To the point where in rehearsal people are constantly accidentally saying Young Sheldon. That's Angela and Keith, which is perfect. They are great at it.

Yeah, it's awesome. Young Sebastian is a boy genius. A boy genius. He's an eight-year-old rocket scientist. And he's in the friend group because what child isn't? He's in the friend group. Crunk is not in the friend group. He forces himself in the friend group. Young Sebastian is in the friend group.

Yeah. And listen, he's got science magic. Yeah. Yeah. He's amazing. He schools everyone. But also,

he's a little shit. He's a little shit. He's a catchphrase you'll find out. Absolute narcissist. Complete narcissist. But when you think about it, this is a trope of sitcoms. There was a show called Smart Guy, and the whole thing is a child genius.

This is a real trope, which is insane. Urkel, child genius. Oh, Urkel. Remember when Urkel got a makeover? Does anyone remember this? He goes into a time machine and gets a makeover and comes out hot. Oh, I do remember this. Pass. I do remember this. Yes. Pass.

I do remember this. Pass. He looks a little bit older. Anyways, whatever. It's fine. He looked over 18. No. Pass.

Well, you mean child hot. He gets hot for the other children. Pass. Pass. Pass. For the other children. Well, I watched it as a child. It's important to specify.

He gets hot for the other children. Yes. Fine watched it as a child. It's important to specify. He gets hot for the other children. Yes, fine. Next. As a child, watching the child. Yes. No, that's fine. That's fine. So when we were writing the script, Shane really wanted it.

I want to double down on this. Thanks, Sid. When you watch Boy Meets World and you're a child, you go, wow, Topanga, wow, we, wow, yeah, yeah, yeah. You're a child So it's okay But if you were an adult It'd be weird I get what you're saying

Because I was a child Watching that And even I was like Topanga Wawa Wuga Child hot When I was young

Like Lizzie McGuire Yes of course Wawa Wuga Yeah I never Me and Lizzie Nah Really

But even Stevens Wawa Wuga Wawa Wuga Ren? Wawa-wooga. Wawa-wooga. Ren Stevens? Wawa-wooga. Shout out. Shout out to Ren Stevens.

Yeah. That's the only way I show people I'm interested in them. Yeah. Wawa-wooga. Wawa-wooga. And anyway, I'll never be loved. This is what I'm saying. The fucking sudden set things.

The bangers. Anyways. Shane, it is true I do turn to you a lot and go, what do you think about this? Yeah, you do. I forever ago went on their podcast. Oh my God. And I was supposed to be a ref and I'm in the middle of them and they were drinking and I was sober. And just they hit a point where they ranted to a degree where I actually didn't know what was going on.

Yeah. And then all of a sudden you turned to me and you said some of the most insane shit ever. You like told me like a very personal thing. Oh my God, yeah. You like turned sad. And then you just like looked at me and I was just like, and I remember being like, I put my hand on your shoulder.

I was like, it's, it's okay. Oh. We, we told Shane stuff. I remember being like, oh my God. We told Shane like, show up. You're going to referee us. We're Shane. Be like, oh, my God. We told Shane, like, show up. You're going to referee us. We're going to be drunk. That's the episode.

Yeah. And I think Shane didn't really think we would be that drunk. Oh, we were hammered. We each had a bottle of wine to ourselves. We were hammered. And we had technical difficulties, which gave you more time to drink the wine. Of course. That sounds amazing. It was the best. Can I do that, but, like, join in drink the wine. Of course. That sounds amazing.

It was the best. Can I do that, but like join in on the wine? Oh my God, absolutely. That's just a girl's night. Yeah, that's just a girl night. I mean, listen, if we ever bring the podcast back, we'll do the three of us just drink. And Shane can ref. And you can ref.

And I'll ref again. Oh God, poor Shane. Yeah. Shouldn't be there. Okay, so we have the Chosen's out of there. And then finally, lastly, we're not going to reveal the name. No. Yes, we're not. Because the name is so stupid. It, so we have the Chosen's that are there, and then finally, lastly, we're not going to reveal the name. No. Yes, we're not. Because the name is so stupid. It's so stupid. But Tommy's character,

Tommy's the one who's not going to be swapping in and out of any roles. Nope, he is on his own. But Tommy also doesn't have any actual lines. He has like one actual line in the script. Otherwise, Tommy's a fully improvised character on stage. Tommy's an agent of chaos. I actually think he's probably

going to be my favorite character because in rehearsal, I was like... He's just saying insane shit. He's so funny. And that's rehearsal. Yeah. I mean, you can't tie Tommy down. You have to let him just do anything he wants to do.

Let him go wild. When he read the script and we were like, you're going to be this character, he was like, well, here's the thing. That character's not in it. And we were like, you're gonna be this character, he was like, well, here's a thing. That character's not in it. And we were like, no. That character's in whatever they want

to be in. They are in any part they want to be in. He was like, sorry? And we were like, yes. The degree to which we can try to destroy this show from within is crazy.

Tommy's character's in specific scenes. There's nothing stopping him from just walking into another scene. He can do whatever he wants. And the thing about it is we're not going to reveal the name because the name is too stupid. But we were coming up with, we were trying to come up with the name

of a location a location in the place. Can we say what the location is? Well, you know what? Let's give a rundown of the basic premise of the episode. Sure. Right. Sure.

Yeah. So the whole basis of the episode is we're trying to throw a birthday party for Kevin. Or a surprise party for Kevin. Surprise party for Kevin. Because Kevin doesn't get a lot of love. So let's show Kevin some love. And there's a couple locations in this sitcom. Like all sitcoms, there's a coffee shop.

And there is an apartment set. Underneath the coffee shop. Yes, that's right there at the coffee shop. Underneath the coffee shop? Underground. Because you know how sometimes in How I Met Your Mother, they live above or something? They live above a coffee shop.

Do they live above a bar? I think they live above a bar. Yeah. So they live underneath. Yeah, they live underneath the coffee shop. Underground. It's subterranean. It's never said.

It's never stated. We know it. It's just true. But you listening to this podcast, you get the exact scoop. You know that the apartment is underneath the coffee shop. 100%. Underneath the ground of the city. It's underground.

Yeah, the coffee shop is underground. The apartment is underground. Yes. So whenever I say I'm looking out the window, now I know I'm looking at cement. You're looking at cement. And Krungle is the neighbor, so she just lives underground. She lives under that apartment. I don't even know if she has an apartment.

I don't even know if she's... We know she lives underground. She lives underground. She lives underground for sure. But I don't know if if she's really dug. We know she lives underground. She lives underground. She lives underground for sure. But I don't know if she has like, yeah. She's perfect at digging passageways. She's great. She's in a tunnel.

There's a coffee shop, like a central perk, and we were trying to come up with like, okay, well, what would be a stupid bad name for that coffee shop? And obviously we asked AI. Yeah, we went back and forth.

So quick shout out plug to AI. Oh God. We didn't use the AI. Pretty cool, AI. Thank you for all you do, AI. We did check chat GBT. We were going back and forth. We were thinking, what's something that's kind of inappropriate or what's something that's like a weird spin on something?

Sid was like, I'm going to ask AI what. Yeah, no, put it on me. That's good. We were like, why am I so sad, baby, in this episode? No, you're fine, you're fine, you're fine, you're fine. No, it's because you did that face. You were like. Just to be clear, Smosh hired writers.

Yeah. And then the writers hired AI. No, we also didn't use the AI. No, no, it was bad. But we did check to see. This is actually why you shouldn't use AI, is we checked to see. We were like, what is the most stupid name?

Inappropriate name for a coffee shop. And they were like, Cup of Brown. And then after that, we're like, but I wouldn't recommend doing that. Because people won't come to your coffee shop. And we were like, shut up. No, shut up, you idiot. So then we went back to us and our human brains. And then we were doing a joke on a joke on a joke on a joke on a joke.

Shocker. And we came up, we came up with the stupidest name of a coffee shop of all time. And it's so stupid. And we were like, they're not going to let us call it this. It's that's too stupid. And then now it's called that.

Yeah. No, you guys pitched it to me and I was like, yeah. And we were like, and that's my favorite part about this whole experience. There's been so many things. You've been like,

what about this? Knowing like, that's not going to get. And then you're like, yeah, you go like, yeah, that's fine. That's what I love about you've been like, what about this? Knowing like, that's not gonna get it. And then you're like, yeah, that's fine. That's what I love about you guys is that you guys will go to that place

and then be like, might as well just fucking ask. You can always be told to take it back. The worst thing that happens is somebody says no. Yeah. But I realize

we hardly cut anything. Like, there's really not much. There were like rewrites and things that had to change for structure of game. Yes. But in terms of purely cutting things because the things didn't work, like you guys. There was something that was too crazy.

No. We've rewritten the script to make it flow. Yeah. But we've not rewritten it because it's like, no, we can't say that. Yeah. No. But the breaking will be crazy. Like who do you guys think is going to break the most?

Me. But I won't be on stage. Yeah. Yeah. But you guys are also going to be involved. Oh yeah, we'll be there. But I think of the people on stage, I feel like you guys are going to break a lot

and have to switch out a lot because I feel like you guys are just insane. You guys wrote the best lines for us. I think you guys are insane and you both come in, even in the rehearsals, with things that I'm like, what? It's so shocking and perfect. And I think that you will make each other break.

I think you guys are going to break. I think so too. And you guys each other. I think Keith and Angela are going to break in a very different way. I think we gave them a lot of big words to say. Well, because to be clear, if you mess up a line, that also counts. Yeah. And then the person has to say the same line from the top.

They have to keep attempting. And we gave young Sebastian a lot of dialogue that is purposefully jarring and all over the place in the structure of it. Of like, first it's this topic, then it's this topic, then it's this topic, and it has nothing to do with it. And that's the joke for us. And also, a lot of lines, we're improvising, we're saying these lines, but there's a lot of lines that, as we're saying, we're given a cue card off-camera that we have to read. That is

something we've never heard before. Are you guys going to be doing the cue cards? I hope so. I love that. That would be the greatest thing on the planet. I think so. I wish you guys could have the cue cards and then change it if you wanted to. I wonder if we can. I would do anything. I don't know i'm crazy just the thought of having them there having you guys there just makes me so happy like

during rehearsal just having you guys there was so nice to be like are they proud are they proud of us oh my god we're doing the script you it is so no it's gonna be so fun like it's it's so dumb so silly like oh my god so fun but it's so dumb, so silly. Oh my God, so fun. But it's also like in order to write, in order to have a dumb, silly show, it has to be so smart. You have to write it so smart. That's the thing.

I will say this is the hardest thing because even pitching it to you guys, I felt bad. I'm just like, how are you guys going to write this? This is insane. Where I'm like, write a script that's supposed to be a fucking mess

and collapse. Well, they're brilliant. I also think a big help has been Kate, who is directing it. Oh, yes. And her big thing is she's gonna keep it

as absurd as it is, but she's gonna ground it in some sort of reality of the absurd world that it's in. Yes, let's give a shout out to Kate, our director. She's the best,

and she'll say things that are like, yeah, so in this world, this thing is true. And even though the thing she's saying is insane, she's like, okay, now let's find the logic of this world. And we're like, yeah, for sure. Like that's the right thing to do. Well, things have to be built in order to break. Yeah, yeah.

You know, if you break nothing, it's not funny. But if something is built a little bit and then you rip it to shreds, it's hilarious. No, and my hope, and we'll see on the night, but my hope is built a little bit and then you rip it to shreds it's hilarious no and my hope and we'll see on the night but my hope is like the first like bit of the show the first act it's gonna be crazy but it's gonna be like alright I'm watching a sitcom and then by the end of it

I don't know look if part of the set is torn down if people are fully like if their costumes messed up people are lost wigs there could be a little bit of a fire somewhere. I don't know. I'd be fine with that. I love a fire.

We hope someone, you know, fire, injured someone runs into a fire. This is what we want. I adore a fire. The cameras go outside and we're just on the street. On the street interviewing people about their conspiracy theories. Just anything. Down for it. Yeah, so excited.

That's what I'm hoping for. I'm going to do everything in my power to make that happen. Yeah. Oh, God. And you're me. I'm you. And so we're a team.

That's also what's kind of fun is that all the characters are kind of their own team. Yeah. Yeah. It's awesome. And it's like the duos are good. The duos are perfect.

It's a show of duos. It is. It is. It is. It is a show of duos. It is. It is. It is. It is a show of duos. Duolingo. Yeah. Duolingo the sitcom.

Duolingo the sitcom. Sponsored by Duolingo and nothing else. Honestly, pretty cool. No, Duolingo the sitcom would actually be great because Duolingo gets it. Yeah, and also he got a BBL. Did you guys see that? Oh, yeah. Did you see the Duolingo owl got a BBL?

The Duolingo owl got a BBL. And that's not a Mad Libs puzzle. No, in real life. The Duolingo Owl is caked up now. Caked up. And, like, there was a video about it. Yeah, they did. The owl was, like, not like you met someone.

I'm sorry. I don't know the gender of the owl, so I'm just going to go with the owl. We're going to say that. The owl got caked. So the owl got a BBL. It is real. Duolingo posted it. They were like, come with us to get a BBL. It is real. Duolingo posted it. They were like, come with us to get a BBL.

If you get nothing else from this episode, go check out Duolingo's fat ass. Wow. The Duolingo owl is kicked. You okay, Shane? Just thinking about it. Honestly. What do you think about that, Shane? I'm still going back to who Sid and Olivia are compared to us.

I go back and forth. I love that for you. I'm like, Sid, I relate to that so much. Like, you okay, Shane? You okay, Shane? The Duolingo Owls kicked up? Yeah. By the way, I don't think you're sad baby.

No, I don't think so either. It's okay. No, but it's not. Because you're not. It's okay. That was the most sad baby response. No. I think there's, I think there's, I think there's, everyone is a full human being.

And then there's the part of you that you lean into for fun in a social sense. I think you just call out like the truth in the thing. And some people are like, hey, and I like that. I like that because I do that shit too. It's the Judaism. There's just so much Judaism in there. And I just, that's it. Oh my god.

Wow, there's so much that we covered. Yeah, did you guys get anything you need? Yeah. Did we get what we needed? Wait, are we still allowed in the building at this point? Yeah, definitely. Please. Like, is there anything usable here?

Yes. Okay. Yes, the owl. This is going to be a 10-minute episode. This will be a 10-minute episode. 10-minute episode all about it. Yes, the owl. This is gonna be a 10 minute 10 minute episode all about it. But wait, okay, one thing that I wanna know is like, what was your guys' like, favorite, favorite experience
