Hello.
I'm Shane. Welcome to Smosh Mouth.
Hello.
I'm Amanda. Welcome to Smosh Mouth.
We have a very special guest with us today.
Angela Jim-Down-ta.
Hello. Welcome to Smosh Mouth. I'm Angela.
And she has her mug that says I'm kind of a big deal.
Okay, I didn't think.
Which is crazy.
I was going to hide it the whole episode.
I grabbed it from the communal mugs.
I love our communal mug section.
It's very egotistical of you that you would choose that type of mug.
Oh my God.
And there's a star on it.
I always pick the least loved out of the communal section.
I grabbed the dragon once.
Wait, you keep grabbing these like awesomeugs, though, in my opinion.
But yeah, I didn't have coffee before this, so you're
catching me as I wake up.
I'm extremely picky about mugs.
You are. And particularly with
the lip of the mug. And a lot
of communal mugs, no matter where I've been,
communal mugs always have weird...
They're either indented or outward. You want it thick?
What do you want?
I think I like a straight, more classic.
He likes it straight.
Do you like it thin?
No, I don't think too thin.
Yeah.
Straight and normal.
I love a thick lid.
I like my mug straight and normal.
I like my mug a little curled.
I like that dragon octopus mug.
I hate the ones that go inward.
Oh, it goes in.
Me too.
I hate that.
And I don't want a mug that has the thing where it's got something in the bottom.
You know?
No, that's freaky.
Oh, as you drink.
That's terrible.
Something comes out or whatever.
That I'm like, come on, guys.
We're adults.
I like it simple.
I like it.
I like the lip going out.
I like it a little thick.
Yeah.
I don't like it going out, though, either.
Because that just feels, it just, I don't know.
To me, I care less about the lip, a lot about the handle oh handles a big one i hate those ones where you can't really fit all
three fingers agreed okay can i say something really quickly i know you watch the martha
stewart documentary remember that part when she goes and you know people said i was an awful bitch
for saying the teacup can you fit three fingers in your teacup handle no you can't
why would i sell that through martha stewart living and i was like this woman is a boss she's
a boss maybe aggressive she's a boss and a bitch yeah if people are watching it sound off because
sound off i'm telling you the martha stewart doc first influencer ever she was the first
influencer ever and she is it's also fun to watch a documentary where she's kind of like calling the shots the whole time.
She's like, I actually don't want to talk about that.
Yeah, she's like, okay.
That was funny.
My God.
You need to watch it.
It's really good.
But anyway, Big Lip.
Big Lip.
Nice handle.
Nice handle.
Okay, Big Lip, nice handle.
That's what.
We're talking about.
That's the first conversation topic.
Guys, this episode is all about something big that is happening soon.
December 14th at 4 p.m.
We will be performing Smosh Mouth live and you can watch it.
It'll be at 4 p.m.
PST live.smosh.com.
You can go and buy tickets for it.
It's a sweet deal and it's going to be a great show.
90 minutes of us just hanging out at the Dynasty Theater.
Oh, my God.
I'm so excited.
The Dynasty Typewriter is like the cutest.
It was the old Rita Hayworth.
It was called the Rita Hayworth Theater.
Old school.
It's so cute.
So for people to come in person, those tickets sold out in one hour.
We're sold out for people to come in person,
sold out in one hour, which is wild.
But you can still buy tickets for the livestream.
Still buy tickets for the livestream.
And the livestream's gonna look really good.
Yeah.
Because it's like their specialty at this theater.
Yeah, they're very good at it.
I just did one literally like four days ago.
And it's so fun because the cameras are on stage too
and they're not in a blocking view.
So you can like,
you're going to feel like at home when you buy the ticket,
you're going to feel like you're watching it live because you are
watching it live,
but you're going to feel like you're there.
And I'm going to get up in those cameras.
Hell yeah.
I'm going to get up in those cameras.
So like,
don't fret if you're not there in person,
you're going to feel like you're there.
We're going to get up in those cameras.
I'm going to open my mouth and fully close my lips around the lens. Oh my God. You'll see full mouth, full mouth. You're going to look're gonna get up in those cameras. I'm gonna open my mouth and fully my lips around the lens Oh my god, you'll see full mouth full mouth. You're gonna look down into the lung thick lip and
Thick lip, it's a pretty big deal. You're gonna be able to see Smosh mouth without edits. I know that's what's crazy is
About two hours out of every episode
Sit here for about half a day. We record this for five hours, then we cut most of it.
Are you guys going to do all the songs?
Yeah.
Fuck you.
Are you doing the full script?
Yeah, we're going to do the full script.
We're going to do your song
that you and Chance made up.
We're going to do that verbatim.
Oh, our theme song.
You guys stopped putting that in the episodes. Why?
That's the editor's issue.
That's not our...
Here's the thing. This
episode is not to reveal
too much, but we will
say that Angela's here because
Angela is our understudy.
What that means in theater
terms is... Well,
we had to prepare for the risk
of hey look people get sick sometimes people get hit by buses yeah um so
we wanted to make sure the show goes on no matter what so if amanda or i for some reason are unable
to make it that day i will be in the wings It'll be Angela. I feel like most people,
I don't see anyone being upset by that.
I will be in the wings,
full makeup, full tutu,
ready to go on.
In fact, I think if I,
for some reason, am sick,
you should wear the Lime shirt.
100%.
And you should be me again.
But here's the thing.
Welcome to Smosh Mouth Live.
Oh, dude.
Shane is sick.
But I'd rather die than miss this show
So I will be there
I'm going to Nancy Kerrigan your ass
Don't even start with me
That's not going to stop you from doing a podcast
I'm going to crowbar both of your legs
Then I'll still be able to sit here
And do the podcast
Did she do that with a crowbar?
Yeah
I'm going to put you guys in the hospital right before
And I will find my way to get there
We'll bring the podcast equipment to the room.
It's going to be great.
It's going to be so exciting.
I can't wait to just watch you guys do it live.
It'll just be so fun.
We also haven't had a live audience for one of our live streams in so long.
We kind of had pseudo audiences for a lot of things.
We had one at VidCon, but that wasn't filmed. Right, but I'm
talking like for our live stream, like our
live shows that we do.
Yeah, there's no edits involved
at all. You will be watching everything
as it happens in the moment. Yeah.
And there's going to be a lot of fun
segments. So many fun
segments. I'm so excited about it.
We have fun guests. Yeah.
Which I'm really excited about. We cannot tell you our guests. We cannot tell you our it. We have fun guests. Which I'm really excited about.
We cannot tell you our guests.
We cannot tell you our guests.
We have some fun guests.
We are going to take Amanda back to internet school.
Oh my god!
And we're going to decide
amongst several possibilities
of internet history,
internet events.
That's so fun!
I feel like this show is very much about the fans.
So you will all be able to be involved in this live stream and live show.
I feel like you're at the table.
Yeah.
You guys are going to be sitting at this table.
So many of you sitting around this half-hectagon table.
Is this a hecticon?
It's a half-hectagon.
So will people be able to give their opinions on things that you want to school me on?
That might be before the live show.
That might be leading up.
So pay attention to our community posts, to our social posts around Smosh.
I'm not entirely positive where we're going to be asking for that, but it will be somewhere.
We're going to make that decision.
There's a lot of great options.
We never covered Dashcon or Dramageddon
and there's several others.
And we will go in on one
of those in this live show.
It'll be nice, too, because if we're getting something wrong,
the audience will be there to be like,
boo! Or like, oh,
that's wrong. And we're like, okay.
And to see Amanda learn things about
culture in real time is something really special.
You get to be there.
You get to see the moment.
You get to see it.
You know what I mean?
Even watching that clip of her learning who Harambe is, I'm like, I wish I was in the room.
It really is fascinating.
It's like a shooting star.
I mean, we had a moment similar recently in the Google video on main channel.
Okay, I want to ask Amanda if she agrees.
So, a mammoth.
A mammoth.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, hit me with it.
Go on, Angela.
Could you understand a world in which someone would confuse a mammoth with a moose?
No
No, because I've been to Maine a lot and moose is just
Moose?
Oh, you don't make this about your travels and how you're well-traveled
It's not well-traveled, it's four hours in the car up the coast
Maybe that's what it is, because I grew up in L.A.
So a moose is also a, what is it?
A mammoth?
A mammoth to me
No, a mammoth is like ice sage.
But a mammoth is related to an elephant.
Mammoths and elephants are the—
Weren't they, like, frozen in the ice and people, like, found them and they're like,
oh my god, a mammoth.
Holy shit.
Yeah, they found some preserve.
Ice sage.
But mammoths are elephants.
Like, they are of the same tree as elephants.
And deers are just like reindeers.
And they're just like mooses. Yeah. Like, they're all in the same tree. And deers are just like reindeers. And they're just like mooses. They're all in the same family.
Moose and deer, I think, are of the same tree. I don't know how close
a moose and a deer are, but they have antlers.
We did this Google ad, and we're talking about it. And in the clip, though,
once I see the trunk of a mammoth, I go,
oh, that's not a moose.
So did you think that mammoths were alive to this day?
So no, because then I remembered the plot of Ice Age.
Right.
And Ray Romano goes extinct.
That's awesome.
Yeah.
I'm so glad.
See those moments, there's nothing like, you could talk about the moment when you learned
there's a difference between a mammoth and a moose, but there's nothing like being in the moment.
And that's why you got to buy your tickets.
I agree with you.
I also must say, I don't think you're dumb.
I think sometimes in the moment.
No one said that.
Shane's been calling me dumb since Jane.
I never called you dumb.
He's never called us dumb.
That's what I do love though no real talk it's what i loved about working here is like when um there's a gap
in my knowledge it isn't anything but a gem they go what yeah oh you think it's it's you think
and it's fun it makes it makes maybe possibly maybe being dumb or having a bad education fun.
Fun.
You feel like a shooting star.
You feel like you're on a shooting star and you don't know where you're going to land.
Yeah.
Because people look at you like, wow.
And you almost feel like you were just born that day.
Like in a skin suit.
And you're like, here I am.
Teach me.
Like in Fifth Element.
Leeloo.
And she's like going through the whole thing.
And she's like chicken.
That's what I feel like. I love that you call it internet school. Yeah. I mean, I don't know And she's like going through the whole thing and she's like chicken. That's what I feel like.
I love that you call it internet school.
Yeah, I mean, I don't know.
It feels like.
Yeah, because you really, there's so much of it.
There's so much that I must have missed.
Oh, it's cool.
I mean, it's okay.
You have to kind of be at a specific place at a specific time to know about it.
And so many people are extremely online yeah that it's hard to
comprehend someone not being online as well yeah it's almost like you should have and i would say
over these past like couple years it's even more extreme because i think an experience everyone can
relate to now is where you'll be on tiktok and you'll hear about some creator or you'll get
served some creator and you're just like who the fuck is this
yeah and you click on them and they have like 80 million followers and you're like that's true i
have never heard this name in my life but they're apparently huge huge and that happens so often
because now our internet is truly our internet yeah harambe was fascinating because that was
still in the era where like the internet was the internet.
Yeah.
Go on there.
It was kind of for everyone.
Now it kind of sequesters you off to what you're interested in.
So you'll be in your little zone where you think this is the biggest news, but you realize it's only being served to like maybe 300,000 people.
It's so true.
But you think it's your whole world because everyone that you're seeing is talking about it and going
this is the biggest thing, but it's actually not.
There's nothing wilder than getting
that big news so many
years later. And you're on a planet
by yourself experiencing
all the pain and sadness
and intensity of
that news. And then you're like
are we doing something about it? And people are like
dude, that was like 12 years ago it's just crazy how like big culture is
yeah it I can't say you're wrong you're kind of a big deal you know what you're kind of a big deal and that's your star
you could have made the argument that you were a time traveler and that you
came here from 2012 honestly like guys i have something to confess i've been time traveling since when
did you say 2012 i just picked a date yeah you know what's this is the thing there's so many people i've met that are
probably would react the same way as you did to all of this because in la there's a lot of people
who are really just in like they are they're they're living life they're into the theater
scene they're just doing their thing they're not like i don't know they're they're they're out
they're out and about.
And I'm not, I wasn't one of those people.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's the other thing is I, we've talked about this a million times, but like I was,
I wasn't allowed that much screen time growing up.
You don't even have a TV in your house, right?
No.
Growing up, did you have TV time?
It was limited.
Yeah.
So our TV time, we, me and my sister used to watch TV when my mom wasn't there.
And the moment we heard her car pulling, we'd turn it off and go downstairs.
Wow.
And my cousins didn't even grow up with a TV.
So when they came over.
And they had to sit by firelight.
And I bet they're super fun to hang with.
They're two of the funniest people and two of the smartest human beings.
But some of the funniest people.
And I'm like, how?
How?
Like, I was just thinking about like
do you remember when your parents were still at the restaurant and you like because they bring
out the kids food so early i feel like yeah they do you're at the restaurant for so long hours and
that's when like i think i started like being weird is like that's when you start like mushing
up sauces together yeah like like playing imaginary games with the waiters. And they're not playing.
Where the forks and the knives are like,
cheating on each other.
With the waiters.
And you're like, oh my God, he has a crush on me.
Oh my God, he's looking at me.
Oh.
Oh my God, they're all talking about me over there.
Oh my God.
Or just like your brain.
Did you ever put pepper in water and was like,
dude, pepper water.
Yes, and you're like, drink it.
It's, I swear it's water.
I swear, I swear.
And then you're like a little kid like this.
And I always wanted to do a character,
like at the restaurant
That's just sitting there and he's down there for like he's just there for a long time hours now
Those don't exist. They have tablets my cousin's kid
That's not my nephew, but he like when we're done eating when he's done eating and then our foods getting here
It's time to watch Buzz Lightyear and then he's like
He's just like glued to it. I'm like that was when I started like building with condiments.
Exactly.
I, I, yeah, I think it's a really tragic thing that's happened.
And this is the thing.
I noticed it with myself.
People say it's kids.
I'm like, look at, look at any boomer and they're fucking glued to shit all the time.
Oh yeah.
It's because it's designed.
It's designed specifically to like hit that part of your brain that's looking for stuff all the time.
And then you can't really ever satisfy it.
And what I've noticed is when I'm really locked in all the time.
And I'm like, oh, I'm not gaining anything from this.
I'm just scrolling through bullshit.
Exactly.
And I'm like, oh, I have some knowledge of some things.
But it's really most of the time it's nothing.
My creativity is at its lowest.
Because I'm like, oh, I'm not bored.
Because I'm never bored.
And your brain is only going to come like, oh, I'm not bored. Because I'm never bored. And your brain's only
going to come up
with weird shit
when you're bored.
But the second you're bored,
you want to pull out
a solution.
Literally.
And being bored means
that's when your brain allows,
that's when your brain
empties out
and allows all, like,
the inspiration
that's kind of
floating around.
No joke,
I think the only two times
I can be creative during the day that I can rely
on are when I'm driving or when I'm in the shower because I physically cannot be on my
phone.
So true.
So you know something fascinating?
I didn't do the splits this year, right?
You definitely didn't.
And I never have.
And I definitely didn't book this.
Overall, I've overall gotten better about stretching but
i'm not really going for the splits anymore i'm just trying to like stretch totally yeah i've
noticed i was like why is it that i'm so bad at this why is it so bad i'm so bad at being consistent
with this because i like stretching i like the feeling of stretching but i was like oh it's
because i have to like i have to put my phone down for like a half hour to an hour. I have to kind of be there without something.
I can't be engaging with something and it's really hard.
But the more I do it,
the like,
and the more I'm putting my phone away,
the better I'm feeling.
It's just in the moment.
It's so hard.
Yeah.
And so I'm like,
the whole,
the whole doing the splits thing is more of a psychological issue for me
than a hundred percent.
I mean,
that's, it's so hard for me to sometimes just drive and like, just look at the road.
You don't need to be like thinking about or like activated.
Especially because we have an endless amount of stuff now.
Yeah.
And it's funny that we're talking about this on a do when you have writer's block or you're like feeling sad or low is literally to put your phone down.
And do nothing almost.
And do nothing or go outside.
Yeah.
But it's really, really hard to do.
It's so much easier to sit there and be like, I want to laugh.
Do you guys think you're going to be on your phone during the live show?
Yeah.
No.
I'm just kidding.
Could you imagine actually i what i actually hope for though is
okay so if people pull up our live show on their phone i want to see the silliest places that
people watched our lives yes like like someone go out into the woods and prop it up onto a tree
and be like yeah i watched the live show in the woods that's so chronically offline of them
people are gonna love doing that someone needs to build, if there's someplace where there's enough snow, build a snowman,
put their iPhone in the face of the snowman and be playing the live show from there.
That's a Smosh mouth live snowman.
That's what I want to hear.
I want to hear when people, where people watch the live show.
Like I want to hear about all of that because that is so great.
What's really fun about these like live stream shows, and I think I've noticed it ever since working here,
like with the funeral and Smosh to Come and stuff,
and the Dynasty shows I've done is like,
I love when people tag me in their evening setup
when they're going to sit down and enjoy it.
Because what I do love about theater is like,
talk about when you're not at home, you're not on your phone.
So when you go see a piece of theater or a concert,
you put your stuff away and you're like, I'm going to like when you go see a piece of theater or a concert you're like you like put your stuff away like i'm gonna get this yeah and
it's cool when people buy these vods and they can experience it at home that they kind of make their
home a little bit like a theater where they're like okay here's like my drink and i'm and i'm
gonna like experience this in real time like i'm in the audience yep i think that's a different
thing too than the phone experience is like truly being engaged with something for
enough time yeah right like as opposed to oh just a new thing a new thing a new thing
it's like i'm watching this thing yeah yeah an hour yeah it's a different experience yeah for
sure and i love when people are just like here's my setup i'm drinking this or whatever and i'm
doing this i know i think it's so cute when they show that because it means that they're really
taking the time and they're like entertainment i'm obsessed with i'm i mean we're obsessed with the theater but like i'm obsessed with people if
they can't go out physically to the theater making it their own little like display like they have
candles light and like yeah the lighting is all set up i love that the photos that make me nervous
is when people are they show photos of their cat or their dog i I was just about to say. And I'm like, now I'm nervous.
I hope this dog is enjoying this.
True.
Harsh critics.
Tag Shane and Amanda in your dog being sleepy during Smosh Mouth Live.
That means it's relaxing.
Didn't we have a comment saying that we had sexy voices?
Okay.
We got a comment.
And we need to do a video soon where we read our favorite comments.
We are going to do that.
Where someone was like, oh, I've been a long time
Spotify listener and I
finally watched the video of it and I
thought you guys have such great
radio voices but seeing
you visually in
person gave me the ick so I'm
going to go back to Spotify. Shut the
fuck up!
And I was like like that's cool so
so this person saw us in person and they simply got the ick by seeing us in person can you imagine
love is blind style and you got turned away it says i got the ick in the most respectful way
watching you back to spotify i got the ick in the most respectful way possible. I'm sorry.
That doesn't really work.
I think you can get the ick in a respectful way.
How do you get the ick in a respectful way?
I feel like once you get the ick,
it's done.
This person immediately went back
to Spotify. They never watched us in person again.
I'm going to argue that this person romanticized
your guys' I guess sexy
voices and really
built it up. So then when they saw you
as just like normal people,
it was like... Are you saying we're not sexy,
Angela? Angela,
you're not helping. Did you just say we're not
sexy? I'm not going to tell both of you
my almost
siblings that I find you guys sexy.
This couldn't be more the opposite you're two sibling like married co-workers my married co-workers there's like three layers of it being
weird you act like also my siblings but also my parents i will never find you come on
constantly putting disgusting wigs on together what i can relate to is i i there's a podcast
that i've listened to for a long time and i finally saw what they looked like in person
and it's just so different than what i envisioned that i was like it's more like uncanny it's weird
oh i have to kind of reconfigure how i listen to this show almost yeah the first time i saw
sarah koenig what's that like wait wait know. I was like, that's what you look like?
Totally different. Or Esther Perel. Oh, Esther Perel. I went, that's what you look like?
Some people sound so different than what they are. Esther Perel, for me, matched,
personally. No, it was so different. I thought she was going to look so different.
What did you think she was going to look like? I don't know, like Edna Mode.
Oh.
What?
I could see that based on her voice.
Yeah.
Well.
Like a crop hair and like really tiny and like,
well, you need to listen to each other.
I get that.
It's a thrill.
I get that.
Anyway, are you guys nervous?
Are you guys going to piss your pants during your show?
Yeah, that's okay.
I think by this stage, I think with this type of show i get nervous for for smosh mouth but it's
kind of in a different way because it's not there's no mark i'm trying to hit yeah there's no lines
i'm trying to remember we're going out and we're talking but there is a bit of nerves in that oh
i'm just going out and i'm talking yeah. And that feels weird to me as a performer
because I feel like I got to do more.
Yeah.
I also, I always, no matter what,
before I get on stage, I'm always nervous.
You are?
I didn't know this.
Every single time before I get on stage,
I'm always nervous.
Even if it's like an improv show
that I've done a million times
or I know the people or I'm comfortable or I have the script ready to go.
Like I am always nervous before I get on stage.
So funny.
Well, I actually I think I am, too.
But like like even at Dynasty, like the like you and I, we have like an improv.
We do some improv over there.
And I remember like the way I get through it is like if you're hanging out with people in the back you're about to go out there and with and do the same thing with you're like
let's just do what we want to do right here and then we just have to do it out there again does
that make sense like that calms me down if it's like we're hanging out back here and we're just
gonna hang out out there that's it we're just following the funny here and we're gonna follow
the funny out there and i feel like especially for your guys's podcast your guys's pod feels
exactly like it does
when I'm sitting at lunch with you guys.
You're just talking about your interests and stuff.
Exactly.
It's true.
I definitely get that anticipatory feeling.
Me too.
It depends on the type of thing we're doing,
but I definitely get it.
And then as soon as we're out there,
It's fine.
It's kind of more out-of-body experience.
I will say I get more nervous for scripted sketches.
Me too.
Way more nervous because without fail, a minute before we're about to go on, we're backstage.
I go, I don't know any of my lines.
I literally don't remember any of my lines and I'm kind of freaking out.
And it's like, I know them.
I know them so well, but I have that freak out panic that I don't know any of them.
So with improv, I mean, there are no lines.
So when you're like hanging out with them, you feel much better.
But every single time.
Like there have been shows where I have rehearsed less and put it in my body less and gone out there and felt that way.
But like sometimes if I've drilled the material so much and I run it in front of people and like like for like musical
sometimes you'll have like a designer run so you'll have people come in and watch it like you
have like just different you have your body experience adrenaline over and over and over
again before opening uh-huh and then at some point you go I am the unstoppable I'm the thing
that won't change like I can have everything change around me and
no matter what a material and me are staying the same. So sometimes I feel like if, if I've done
the right prep for the right thing, I'm like nothing could, I'm not nervous. I'm just going
to go out there and do the exact same thing I always do. That's very much. And I mean,
the podcast is interesting because there's not necessarily a right and wrong way to do it. I
mean, there is, but there isn't whereas
with scripted yeah content it's yeah i do like to rehearse it to a point where then on the day i'm
like i'm not even gonna think about it yeah before i go out and then i just trust that it's like in
my bones that was why the sitcom was so fun because it was that times a thousand and also we had done
the other thing about the sitcom and doing doing shows like you've done like mama mia
but different you do it so many times that on like your fourth time you get to like be free with it
then you get to like have fun with it and it's like already you get freaky with it have you ever
had a live show go wrong oh my god so many so many i have one specifically and i don't know if i've
maybe talked about this one this one sticks
in my head because it's it's the worst i've ever experienced it i was it was in sunday company
such high stakes we had gone over this sketch my my really good friend and i we were like
writing partners during the time we were i'm already nervous so out of ideas we were so out of ideas. We were done. We were like empty.
Like, you know when you're empty?
No, we were beyond empty.
We had no idea.
So we went to Huntington Gardens for the day
and we were like,
let's just go to Huntington Gardens
and get inspired, whatever.
When we got there,
since we were so empty,
we weren't on our phones,
we were just looking at art.
We got the funniest interaction
that happened in front of us
that made us laugh so hard.
Oh my God. It was a volunteer, this us laugh so hard. Oh, my God.
It was a volunteer, this like really sweaty guy.
His name was Bob.
And he was supposed to be volunteering in the Rose Garden.
But he was in like the fancy room with all the Gainesboro paintings,
like Blue Boy paintings, all the really nice paintings.
And he wasn't supposed to be in there.
And he was dripping sweat.
And he kept like wiping off his sweat and sitting on the bench being like and talking to people and this woman who worked there
she was like a volunteer she was really tight everything about her was tight her head was even
shaking that's how tight she was she was dressed like an art curator and she came up to him and
she was like bob you're supposed to be in the rose garden what are you doing here this is the
gainsborough blue boy painting room you're not supposed to be in the Rose Garden. What are you doing here? This is the Gainesboro Blue Boy painting room.
You're not supposed to be in here.
You're not even supposed to be here until 3.
And he's like, it's so hot outside, Diane.
It's so hot outside.
I can't be outside.
And she's like, I don't care.
That's where your volunteer is.
So they have this whole little fight.
And me and my friend are sitting there going like, this is what we're going to do.
And we write out this whole script.
I play the tight art curator.
And she plays sweaty Bob in the rose garden.
We kept holding it until the last minute of our pitch.
Because we were like, I'm afraid for this one.
Every time we held the sketch to the last minute of the pitch, I mean, it's 1 a.m.
And she's like, all right, any last pitches?
And we're like, should we do it?
Should we do it?
Should we do it?
And usually we backed out. I think we backed out like two weeks in a row. We're like, fuck it, any last pitches? And we're like, should we do it? Should we do it? Should we do it? And usually we backed out.
I think we backed out like two weeks in a row.
We're like, fuck it.
Let's just do it.
Because if you do a pitch and she hates it, you feel like death.
So we did the pitch.
Obsessed with it.
Obsessed with it.
It was like, this is one of your best sketches you guys have ever done.
Because we knew the character so well.
And we did it in a moment of like wow whatever yeah
so that ran for probably like five weeks this sketch oh my god on the second week
they changed the ending i'm supposed to at the end get so frustrated that i snap the clipboard
between my thighs like my art volunteer snap. So I'm thinking about that.
I'm like, I hope it snaps.
I hope it snaps.
As I'm saying that, we're on stage, full house.
Like this is the sketch that has to do well.
I go somewhere else.
I completely black out.
I don't even know where I am.
I don't know what I'm seeing.
I don't even see anything.
Like black in my eyes.
We're on stage.
Front and center.
You blacked out?
Blacked out.
I'm just standing there with my clipboard.
And my friend is in the character as Bob, sweaty Bob.
And she's like, so Diane, do you want me?
And I can hear her voice, but I'm somewhere else.
How long were you?
I don't know.
Were you like sick or something?
No.
I just completely left my body and forgot all my lines.
So in your head, it's just you're in the void.
I'm in the void.
How long did you get any confirmation for how long you were standing there silent?
I think our director definitely was like, what the hell happened?
I think it was like many, many seconds.
I don't think it was a super long time, but it was enough that it was like.
And my my friend knew it.
She was like, oh, she completely forgot all of her lines.
So she was just improvising at this point.
You're not really supposed to be improvising. Sure. But they're like, you're like, oh, she completely forgot all of her lines. So she was just improvising at this point. And you're not really supposed to be improvising.
Sure, but.
You're like, they'll shoot you if it happens.
Yeah, basically.
So then I don't know what happened.
I came to and I skipped a little bit and I went to the line.
Yeah.
And I was able to snap the clipboard and we got off stage and I was like,
I don't know what just happened.
And she was like, you blacked out.
That's wild.
I lost you. That's never happened
to me. And I must have come to and then
was there. And she like
said my line for me, but in
her own way. You like came to.
Yeah, we got in trouble for that, but not
too much trouble because they loved
the sketch. And we continued it on
for the rest of the weekend. It never happened again.
But I think it's because I cared
so much about it. And I was worried about a physical action at the end. It never happened again. But I think it's because I cared so much about it and I was
worried about a physical action
at the end.
It was really
one of the worst times that I've experienced
on stage where I just, I put too much
pressure on it. But I mean that's when they
say, got your back, got your back right before the show
and you're like, you're helping each other.
She wasn't mad at me
at all. No judgment.
She was like, don't worry about it.
It's all good.
I can only really relate to that with auditions.
I had a lot when I was a teenager.
You blacked out.
Oh my God.
I wouldn't remember what happened.
I would go in, I'd come out,
I'd be like, I don't know, fucking no.
You're like, just let me go play a fucking game. The amount of nerves that you have
because it's like, like okay this is your whole
career this is what you you're not going to high school because you're coming out here to la to do
this and like yeah you're like pressure it was so much pressure it wasn't just like oh yeah you
want to do this for fun it was like no you're it's like feed yourself we're gonna come here and do
this and it all like accumulates at this point where it's like you're going into this room full of adults.
And you 15 need to be awesome.
And if you're not, then that means you're not only not a good actor, you're probably not interesting as a human.
Like that's like the pressure that you put on yourself.
So you just kind of go in and just it's all into these lines.
So what I often ended up doing was rushing lines
because I wanted to make sure that I was hitting them
so I was just saying them as fast as I could
just to be like oh I got
the line out
but I'm like oh the key is to just have fun
and to not give a fuck because there's no right way
it's really hard though
it takes years of like kind of
I think when it says it takes years
it's because that's you literally settling in and getting used to that freaky, unbelievably uncomfortable feeling.
Yeah.
That's all that it is.
Oh, my God.
I have so many stories.
Now that you said that, I was like, oh, my God, literally 50 things.
Yeah.
I have the story I keep thinking.
I have a lot of stories about like having a hot mic.
And it actually just happened at Dynasty literally on Friday.
And it didn't happen in the theater.
It happened on the stream.
I guess I introduced the show.
And then I walked backstage and I'm like, okay, here we go.
We're going to start.
That's fine.
At least that's what you're saying.
But it's so funny.
And then on the comments they were like, Angela, your mic is hot.
Which is very funny.
She didn't go out back and be like, I fucking hate fuck these bitches get me out of here there's this story that um
happened my first star kid show ever where i like in the musical at the end at like the peak point
in act two like uh i'm supposed to like be almost dead my character, and then a theory old guy comes to me from another show, and he equips me with a gun.
Okay?
Awesome.
With this person that's about to kill me, and he equips me with a gun.
So then I'm supposed to, he's like, go into your pocket.
And I'm supposed to be like, oh my god, I had this get there.
Right?
I couldn't remember this fucking prop every night.
I'd forget to put the gun. You couldn't remember that you had a gun. I'd forget to put the gun.
You couldn't remember that you had a gun.
I would forget because I remember it was like mid-show.
And I remember it was like in between stuff.
And I had changes and stuff.
And the prop table was at a different part of where the entrance was.
And I never saw the gun before going to that entrance.
Which is bad.
Right?
And like, and Sarkid, sometimes you get maybe one run through before opening and it's just like
the style of it yeah so scary and it's
just because it's original work
and everyone's running around there and it's like really
just like homebrewed and it's like okay um
so I had never run it
and it was like opening night
and my entry I had to go all the way around
the theater to the to the back and go through
the audience and the guns like
all the way in the wings the back and go through the audience and the guns like all the way
in the wings over there and i remember like he's like singing to me and this is opening fucking
night they're filming it and it's like and he's like he's like check your pocket and i'm like
oh my god before he's like even says that he's like he's about to hit that part where he says
check your pocket i'm like stop no and guys i have to get this gun out and then
kill the antagonist and then i move on then i take the gun run off stage and then it like ends
and like i've killed the antagonist so i'm like he's singing this whole song and i'm like oh my
god and i'm like what on me can I use as a gun?
Okay?
Opposite of me at TSA.
Where I'm like, I don't have a gun, right?
I'm literally like, okay, there's a pen,
because my character has a pen in her pocket,
and I'm like, should I use the pen?
Oh my God.
And I'm like, I was freaking out.
This is my first show with them.
I was like, they're never using me back.
Like, I fucked this.
All these thoughts.
I fucked this so fucking hard. And meanwhile, yeah, i can't imagine what it looked like when he was singing because
i'm just like and then sure enough i'm like okay i'm just gonna fucking finger gun it and then i
go smartest check your pocket and i go whoa and i take out my finger gun and then I'm like this is been here the whole time and he goes yes and he's
freaking out laughing at me and then I
go oh and then I kill and I go poof stop
there was already a sound cue but for
some reason because I use my hand I
gotta use my mouth there's something so funny though about you
pulling out a handgun and it making a
real sound like people did the audience just think that
on top of it I went poof and there's a real sound? Like, did the audience just think that was- On top of it, I went, poof!
And there's a real sound.
Oh, the audience must have been like, that is so funny.
And here's the thing, it's like, when I make one mistake,
somehow I memorize the mistake, right?
The muscle memory was the mistake, right?
And we did this show, I wanna say, for six weeks.
We did this show for so long,
and I forgot that gun so much no i am not kidding
it was like it was like so like we couldn't stop talking about me doing this and ruining opening
night that i just kept thinking about like oh i can't believe i forgot the gun can't believe
i forgot the gun can't continue this can continue and to the point where like they would have there
was once where my mic was on and i went i don't have the gun i don't have the gun i was backstage and it was before my entrance and
i was like i'm gonna run back there and i forgot my mic was on and i go i'm gonna run back there
and and show up on the other side of stage she'll see me and i and i run and i enter from the front
which doesn't make sense for my character but i had the gun and my character's like oh my scene
partner she's like what are you doing on this side i went and then there was that one time i did that and then there was another time where like at this
point i had forgotten it so much that because i was entering from the front of house the front
of house ticket woman they had her every time asked me if i had the gun that is so and she
wasn't with the production she was with the theater and she'd be like do you have the gun
do you have a gun oh fuck and then I would run all the way back.
Go grab it.
Run all the way there.
Always run late.
And it was this fucking gun.
I would forget it every time.
And that's one.
Holy shit.
That is so funny.
You know what?
They should have just like X-rayed the gun and just had you do finger guns the whole time.
No, that was awful.
I can't imagine what it was at the climax of this moment.
And could you imagine this actress goes,
here, with your hands.
I mean, did the audience laugh at that?
Yes, and it ruined the tent.
It was supposed to be like a,
It would have been perfect for a Smosh mouth sick on me.
I was like, what a brilliant mistake.
Oh no.
This is like, it was like her ancestors
are coming through and giving her this gun
Shakespeare we're getting like Othello. You're just like
At the end of departed Leo DiCaprio gets hit with some paintballs
The cast everyone rose the stakes and it's so heightened and then I go
Literally I just ruined it for everybody you just go like this you go oh you gave me this the power of a middle finger and then he fucking
dies that is so funny oh do you wish that you had done something different than that or do you think
the finger gun i know i remember being like do i run backstage because it was like if i ran right out there i could just like i know there's a stagehand back there holding
the gun going she doesn't have the gun right so i could have just been like one second no but i'm
glad i did that with my body is experiencing this moment like with like what would you do would you
be like hold on one second i see i think what you did i think what you did was best yeah i would not have the show and i remember i had a chunky jacket on so i kind of like like did it like this
oh so it felt like there was a gun in there which makes it even weirder i literally took my i forgot
i did this yeah i went oh my god which makes it way worse because all you can see is two little
fingers popping out for the audio listener i'm putting my fingers in my sleeve.
That.
As far as, like, actual performances go, I've said this before, but my first performance ever on So Random, because that was in front of, like, a live studio audience.
Oh, my God.
And it was, like, my first week there.
I had never been on a show like that with a live studio audience.
It was like the biggest job I'd ever booked.
I couldn't believe it.
And in my first episode, they had me in like this pretty big scene where I was playing a parody of Billy Mays.
But like it's like these kids in this kitchen.
It's like a commercial.
And I pop up and like start like saying crazy shit to them.
But so it gets to my part.
So I'm crouched behind the counter and the audience is cheering.
Like they start the scene and I'm like,
okay,
like I'm about to do this.
And then I pop up and I,
I don't think it was long at all.
Cause I've rewatched it and been like,
oh,
it's,
it looks normal,
but it felt like I had a moment where I wasn't performing,
where I was consciously just like,
oh my God,
what am I doing?
This is crazy. I was like, I'm my god what am I doing this is crazy I was like I'm here and that's this is happening yes nuts where you're like I can get
in my way really fast I was like oh I could this could be so I could mess this up so easily that's
crazy and then you just go and then once you just start going you kind of stop thinking it's hard to
be the person who um enters right like it's oh i find
it really hard especially like in improv scenes or whatever when there's two people going and
they've got the audience going when you're the one entering like a little bit later it's so much
pressure because you have to be like big news really exciting like everyone else that mark and
you have to like be on the same vibe because once people are laughing and a huge change happens it's like a wave right
all either go with it or they frickin don't you guys ever eaten shit on stage
uh no actually shit so much uh never never uh never on accident I thought I
would fly the stairs on stage once. Whoa. In that same show.
Why does none of this surprise me?
In that same show as the finger guns?
In that same show as the finger guns.
Why does none of this surprise me?
Wow, that was your worst night of your life.
Surprise.
Different night, different night.
Oh.
And then there was another, yeah, when I was, I did Beauty and the Beast in middle school
and I was the sugar bowl, which is on Tomball.
Cute.
And I had a huge bowl on me.
And I ate absolute shit during be our guest and it was the
biggest laugh i've ever gotten um i'm a huge bowl like whoa i'm surprised people don't eat shit more
here at smosh the ian was the most recent who ate shit oh my god i missed that because you had a
blindfold on well you know what
We'll give people a little bit of spoiler
A little tease
We won't say what necessarily happens in the video
But we did
We brought back the
Quiet Place Challenge
Yep
But Amanda is the one wearing the blindfolds
Before we get into it
We're kind of walking around
We're running around practicing
Ian
All of us have the chickens tied to our
To our crocs
Ian eats
shit bad.
It's such a major way.
He's running around. He slips
and falls flat
on his stomach and face.
And he does the thing where someone, when they fall,
when they get so much adrenaline, they're like, I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. They freak out.
He bounces back up.
But it was like, you
got messed up there, dude.
I was counting to 10, so I couldn't hear you guys.
And I heard like a big sound.
And then I heard everyone kind of giggling.
And I was like, five, four.
Like I went back to counting because I didn't know what was happening.
It's a great video.
But yeah, you won't see that in the video.
I don't think.
I do have a question.
Are you guys able to re-watch your performances
if they are taped?
I don't like to re-watch performances.
Angela?
I don't like to.
I have a hard time enjoying it.
Yeah, no matter what,
I'm never enjoying watching myself. Some Smosh content is different because it's almost like watching a home video
we're just talking performance live performance where i was trying to do a specific thing
re-watching i can't help but critique and go it's so hard same no 100 i think i've i've it's so hard
but i've just passed that.
Because I'm like, it's always going to be hard.
Yeah.
So I've just like, I think I've just sucked it up a little bit.
And now that is like, it's less hard.
But like, I can watch, like if I'm watching myself in a show, it's, yeah, it's hard.
It's hard to watch yourself try really hard.
I agree.
I also think when you're like, when you are performing live and in your body you're
like okay this feels good and then you watch it back and you're like oh i saw a clip of me in
under the mistletoe and i am trying under the mistletoe under the mistletoe it's our smosh live
show oh forever ago under the mist i was like did i make that? It was Angela's first Smosh live show. Yeah. And I am trying.
And I was just like, oh my God.
I was also drunk.
We were all drunk.
Yeah, it was under the influence.
Yeah.
But it's just hard to watch yourself trying.
And that's what you guys, for your Smosh mouth, you're just going to be hanging.
Unless I crowbar your ass.
We're going to be hanging.
And I think my favorite part, if we're allowed to talk about this, is that we are going to be asking the audience if they have anything that any problems that they want us to solve.
Yeah.
So even if you are live streaming, you will see things happening.
We will be asking the audience that is there that night if they have any problems and we're going to
read them and
hopefully
solve their problems. We'll solve
them in our own way. We'll solve them in our own way. So it'll be like
full audience interaction
in that sense, in that segment. Oh
my god. That's going to be great.
That's going to be so fun.
I'm psyched about that.
So you'll have someone else besides Duran.
Well.
I hope nobody else's dad is missing.
If someone talks about their dad being missing in the graveyard, I don't know what I'm going to do.
I don't know what I'm going to do.
I still think about that sometimes.
The way he knows so nonchalantly was like, yeah, my dad's missing.
Oh, my God.
Remember when he sat on your lap
yeah it was really sad it's i don't think he thinks it's sad i don't think he thinks it's
sad either wilder yeah it's not sad you're right it's just wild that he did it like that it's so
wild oh my god i have another story when i was a kid this is yeah if you want another one sure
childhood story Let's go.
Wow.
Me and Shane are going to be so great live because none of it will be edited.
No, it just made me laugh.
What a dick.
Just like, yeah, this live show is going to be great.
Oh my God, I have another childhood story.
In my head, I'm going, I got to give more.
Give more.
What else is there about stage? You guys are interested in another childhood story. In my head, I'm going, I gotta give more. Give more. What else is there about stage?
You guys are interested in a childhood story.
So I'm actually never going to say that childhood story.
I've always said this about Smosh Broth.
I'm like, at any point, at any time, you're allowed to be like, yeah, I actually have
something else I want to talk about.
It's stage related.
I have something.
I have actually, after this, I have two.
No, you're going to say it because guess what?
I'm never going to say that story.
I have two random ass things I want to say after this.
I want you to do that right now because I will never be saying that childhood story.
No, tell us the childhood story.
What the fuck?
Wait, I want to hear the childhood story.
Are you going to do Amanda like that?
I want to hear the childhood story.
Are you going to do that to Amanda?
Because you're kind of a big deal.
Hey, Angela, are you going to do that?
No, that's a real gun okay I'll say really really fast cuz
it's a stage story it's the first time tons of time I'm gonna say it's so
fucking fast cuz of your fault it's your fault um it's so fucking fast um this my
mom my mom tells me this story all the time it makes me sound like a genius
okay so that's why I like to talk about it. Okay.
If you don't get this story out,
I think I might lose my mind. Angela, I cannot tell you how happy I am anytime
our guest on the show is like, I have something I want to
talk about. I'm like, great. I don't necessarily want
to talk about it. Makes this job easier. If you guys
continue to talk about this story and
not say it. No, let's talk about the moment again. I said it and you said
sure, a childhood story and then look
to Selena to tell her I'm kidding. This is my worst hell about the moment again. I said it and you said, sure, a childhood story. And then look to Selena to tell her, I'm kidding.
This is my worst hell I've ever experienced.
I'm just trying to, you know.
Okay, okay.
Okay, let's draw this out.
I'm just trying to draw it out before the story.
In theater terms, this means draw it out, don't end it.
This is like those clips on TikTok
where they never get to it and you're like, oh my God.
Oh my God.
That's exactly what you guys are doing right now.
And you come to part two and they're just like,
hey, okay, so excuse my hair. More like part eight and they're just like hey okay so excuse my hair part eight and they're like craziest thing happened so anyways i'm not feeling too good
when i pitch saying this childhood story and we never get to it please tell the story i'm gonna
pull out my hair okay okay i'll say it really really fast okay um um i actually think sometimes
that my mom fabricated a little bit of it because it does sound insane. Okay. So I guess I was like a little kid, like little, little, little kid.
And we were doing a production of Cinderella and we were doing Rodgers and Hammerstein's
version of it.
Cute.
So each girl got to play Cinderella for one scene.
Okay.
And like, I was like little.
Okay.
And I remember I had one song and I had to sing the Cinderella song and I practiced it
every day with my mom in the car over and over and over and over and over again.
And this was like so young that your mom is like in rehearsal with you.
Like all the moms are there and they're helping the kids because they're like they can barely walk.
Right.
And like I knew my song.
My mom was always with me when I practiced my song.
And then I guess it comes around for the show.
Right.
And during rehearsals, I guess I had no problems.
I always sang my song.
And my mom was like, great.
She sings her song. She's got it. She knows it she's doing it and the show comes out and my mom
is a piano player as well the song starts and I don't move my mom says like I'm frozen and my mom
immediately goes fuck like damn it she can't do it like she's nervous and then my mom hears the
piano player playing the song and my mom knows he's playing it in the wrong key and i'm not moving and he restarts and then he restarts
like he re he's like keeps restarting for me and i'm not moving at all and i'm not phased at all
my mom said and then my mom stands up she goes you're in the wrong key then he plays it in the
right key and i immediately just start.
Wait, stop.
I guess my body was just like, that's not the song.
I feel like I've heard this story.
I think I might have told you.
I haven't heard this story because that duo of you and your mom, the mom being like, you're in the wrong key.
You're in the wrong key.
And then you're like, and now I will start to perform.
It was my earliest memory of like a mistake.
That's awesome.
Or like a mom daughter duo. Yeah. My like a mom. The piano player's mistake. Mom-daughter duo.
Yeah.
Badass.
My mom being like, that's in the wrong key.
And then me just going, da-ba-da-ba-ba.
Angela's mom will be in the audience for Smosh Mouth Live to yell out when we're talking about the wrong thing.
Yeah, she'll yell out, oh, childhood story, Shane?
Jesus.
It's even more embarrassing that I've already told you that story.
No, I think you told me off camera I haven't heard the story
And I was very glad to hear the story
Finally
There's this whole thing where
It doesn't matter
I'm always listening to Angela
And she doesn't give an F
Amanda's caught me like four times now
When I'm trying to tell everybody something
And hopefully she's listening
And I'm not looking and I go Wait hopefully she's and i go and i'm
not looking and i go wait so so this is childhood and i'm just like this and and everyone's like
that and i'm like this tick tock no shane shane no i so i saw the movie last night and she's like
well i'm listening i'm listening it's happened so many times and i know for a fact that angela's
like you're not the one i want to hear this story
amanda there are others because because she knows that i'm gonna be like that's awesome
whereas like she wants the other's reactions to be like wow cool angel whatever so that she could
be like yeah i'm such a fucking pick me it's disgusting and i'm always just sitting right
next to her staring at her full contact i contact. She always goes, I'm listening. I'm listening.
And that's the story.
I'm like, so what do you think?
And she goes, well, I heard it.
And I'm like, that's an awesome story.
And you're like, yeah, shut up.
Anyways, Shane, what do you think?
Shane, what do you think?
What do you think?
What do you think?
What do you think?
What do you think?
What do you think?
I need some negative responses.
Oh, my God.
No, it just sounded like a funny segue.
That's all it was.
No, and I know it was.
I know it was.
15 minutes.
Guys, please don't go backwards.
We can't. You tell your story, and then we're going to what it was. It turned into 15 minutes. Guys, please don't go backwards. We can't.
You tell your story, and then we're going to move on forever.
Can I share?
Okay, can I just completely segue now?
Please.
Yeah, segue.
A segue?
Sure.
Yeah, get on a segue.
Okay.
There's been something I've wanted to share on the podcast, and I keep forgetting to bring
it up, but it's just a random funny thing.
Do you remember when we did Blackjack on Smosh Games?
I played. I thought you played.
I played Texas Hold'em. Wait, was it
Detective Where's My Coffee? Yeah, I didn't play
Blackjack. Maybe it wasn't Detective Where's
My Coffee. No, it wasn't poker. It was
Blackjack. I remember that. Gentlemen's, right?
Gentlemen's Blackjack. Yes, I wasn't in it.
I was in it.
I'm listening.
And granted, we're not paying attention
in any games video we're really not paying attention to the game right we're we're just
fucking around we're trying to be funny yeah like sue us if there's six comments on that video we're
ripping our math skills so bad and for me like someone i was like that i think it bothered me
more that like i have been truly doing like math puzzles and math problems every day since then.
Oh, God.
Wait, what?
Months now.
I'm like, oh, my math skills are really rough.
You're trying to brush up on your math?
I was truly like, oh, it is something that will go if I don't.
Because I was in college for 10 years.
So certain things I.
What can't you do?
What are you talking about?
You're brushing up on math?
There's apps that you can do math challenges every day, and I'm like okay
I want to do that so I'm like oh my my addition and subtraction and multiplication is really shitty
I was like I want to get better at that that's not 14 what 10 times 14 140
Whoa that was fast. Okay that thank God Oh My god, you're in shape, bro
Wait, it's just basic shit
Commenters were like you guys suck at math so bad and I was like and I and Michael Jordan
I took that personally and so six times four
24 24 you're right. I actually wouldn't be able to do not that fast And Michael Jordan, I took that personally. And so. Wow. Six times four. 24.
24.
You're right.
I actually wouldn't be able to do these things.
Not that fast.
Are you good at math?
No, I'm very bad at math.
You have to get these apps.
I'm also a visual person.
Oh, okay.
You have to write down these problems.
And you say things out loud.
Now, to be fair, a lot of times, like, in that specific video, I'm not paying attention.
Yeah. I was really sitting there just thinking
of dumb things. Yeah, you're a gentleman.
That really got you.
A little bit. And it's more that I'm like, it's more
the inner fear of
like, oh, I don't want to get bad at math.
I don't do math in my
daily job or
dealings in life. So I'm like, oh, it gets
rusty really quickly. We all have a calculator on our
phone. Yeah, for sure. That made me think me think of like dressing up because you were dressed up as a
gentleman if you wanted people to dress up to watch smosh mouth at home what would you tell
them to wear oh full tinky winky like what if people are as gentlemen watching it at home
because everyone has a suit uh yeah wear a top hat to if you can wear a top hat and take a photo
of yourself watching it that would be incredible yeah like the limes. If you can wear a top hat and take a photo of yourself watching it, that would be incredible.
Or like the Limes shirt.
Oh, you could wear a Limes shirt. You could eat
Limes.
That is aggressive.
Put a Lime slice in
whatever drink you have. No matter what the drink
is, put a Lime slice in it. You could eat
cereal. Yes. As an
adult, if you're going to watch the show in your bathroom,
make sure to shut the door and lock it.
We'll also be, you know, there'll be a special segment where we get into
where Shane and I disagree completely, and we're going to settle some scores.
We're going to have an audience there, both watching on the internet and in person.
We can settle a bunch of scores.
Yeah, that's amazing.
Shane and I disagree on some big fundamental things.
Are adults allowed to eat cereal?
Should you shut the door when you're using the bathroom?
Oh, my God.
Wow.
Is Journey the best band out there?
I know you don't even believe that.
You think Journey's the best?
Coming from Boston, there's a piece of me that's like,
of course it is.
Oh, here we fucking go.
But no, I don't.
But again, sometimes I do, but I don't.
You know what I'm saying?
I love you guys so much. Every karaoke song is a small song, girl. I love you guys so much. I do, but I don't. You know what I'm saying? You're in Boston.
I love you guys so much.
Every karaoke song is a small song girl.
I love you guys so much.
I truly do.
She's feeling grateful.
It's crazy.
It's crazy.
And this is why you're our understudy.
I saw that thumbnail of the cut video where it was like, would we hook up if we met each other?
And I almost vomited.
No, I know.
It's so funny.
I legit got nauseous.
We knew as soon as that question came up, we were like.
I was like, all right, let's play.
I was like, yeah, let's go.
People were blown away by how many questions we answered.
And I'm like, one, we don't give a shit.
I don't care.
You know us by now that we don't give a shit.
I'm like.
And two, I'm like, we knew.
We know Jubilee.
We know the internet.
We know YouTube.
I'm like, not answering the question is the worst thing. I I was like of course I'm gonna be like fuck Shane come on
Let's hook up, but you would never approach me at a bar people like whoa. I can't believe she said that it's like
Will you guys kiss at the live show?
We can't reveal we can't reveal secrets like that. You just said.
You just said.
Pregnant?
Right away.
I think that people would be like, oh, my God.
I think that people would be like.
Click it off.
Yeah, they click it off immediately.
They're like, yikes.
They immediately download a math app on their phone.
It just doesn't make sense.
I can't believe you just organically told us you're brushing up on math.
I'm not ashamed to say that I'm brushing up on math.
You know, Shane, I think it's awesome.
I'm brushing up on words.
I get emails where it says, this is a new word, and I listen to it.
You do a vocabulary of the day?
Yeah.
That's cool.
Okay, I need something to do.
Give me something.
Wait, you do stuff. No, but I should have something that, like, the day. Yeah. That's cool. Okay, I need something to do. Give me something. Wait, you do stuff.
No, but I should have
something that like
every day...
Don't you play this game
so you don't press snooze
on your alarm?
Oh, that's a memory game.
Yeah.
I sleep through
so many alarms
so my alarm is like
a puzzle
and I have to do the puzzle.
Oh, that's cool.
I've seen those.
There's those ones
where it's like truly
like a physical puzzle piece
and as soon as the alarm
goes off,
it like launches the pieces
around your room.
So you have to run around and get them.
Wait, I might get one of those.
Did you just make that up?
No, that's a thing.
There's real ones.
There's also one that's on wheels,
and I think it rolls away.
Wait, wait, I'm sorry.
What?
You have to chase it down,
and then you have to kill it.
What psycho would want a puzzle piece that explodes?
I'm gonna get it. There have been times in puzzle piece that explodes? I'm going to get it.
There have been times in my life where I'm like,
I probably need this.
What? I'm just insane
alarm clocks. The app I use, the night
before you could take a picture of something in your house
and then in the morning you have to take that
exact picture, same tilt,
same everything. That's really
funny. Just press snooze and
get up, make a cup of coffee. To hit snooze
you need to do that. Like if you want five more minutes.
Like this morning I wanted five more
minutes so I did like five puzzles.
Wait, by that
point you're not awake? I have the puzzles
on super easy. Wait.
I can basically do them asleep.
It's like memorize which
block and then I go like
this and I remember it with my hand and then it comes back up and then I do it
And I go right back to sleeping next I like it
I like the thought that if you get really sleepy you get really good at puzzles
Like a sleeper agent truly
Get her sleep, you know my And I'm like, wait, get her sleepy. And I'm like.
Get her sleepy.
Bring her in.
If we're filming a Smosh Games video for some reason at like 7 p.m., we're all tired.
And you're just crushing it.
And we're like, Angela cannot be stopped.
And I'm like, I've practiced in REM. You're like.
When are you going to need that?
I actually am pretty good.
What if you hit a point where you're like, I didn't wake up, but I hit snooze for 30 minutes.
I solved 30 puzzles in my sleep.
Then I feel like there's no point to the puzzles if you're hitting snooze for 30 minutes doing like 30 puzzles.
I've trained myself.
My sleepy self is trained to just be like, continue.
Just do it.
Just do it, and you can go back to sleep.
It's like a survival instinct.
Angela, go to the gym.
Go to the gym, Angela.
Angela, go to the gym. Go to the gym go to the gym yeah you had to go you guys are making fun of me for doing math apps it turns out you're solving
puzzles in your sleep hey i think doing math is fine it's awesome get it oh my god great it's so
funny you're probably really good at math and yeah it is sick. It's some other. It's memory, math, and like reading.
Memory is supposed to be really good for you.
This is why I'm listening.
Do you have to be awake for it to be good for you?
I give too.
I give.
I'm too positive to you people.
I need to cut it down.
What?
Fuck.
What made you just say that?
I'm not going to listen to you anymore.
And I'm going to give you no more compliments.
I need to cut it down.

Yeah, silly hat.
Oh, you could be Abraham Lincoln working at Sephora.
Oh, color matched by Abraham Lincoln.
There you go.
Amazing.
I will say that was a duo bit.
Angela helped me with that because immediately during that TNTL, I was like, I want to be Abraham Lincoln.
And everyone was like, Sabrina Carpenter, Chapel Roan.
I was like, I want to be Abraham Lincoln.
And Angela was like, I see it. I see the vision immediately.
I remember I grabbed that shell and I went, use this
as a foundation. Yeah, it was perfect.
So that was a duo bit. And I'm like,
do you want to, maybe we could do it again sometime.
I don't know. Oh my gosh.
Okay, that was a no.
Oh, what?
Maybe we could do it again sometime.
