There's no guarantee that you're going to jump out of college and find your dream job instantly. I've been watching Game Grumps again lately. Apparently on YouTube, they're sort of pushing videos down that specifically say quarantine and COVID-19.

So they're referring to it as the Backstreet Boys reunion tour. And so, yeah, then I had applesauce all up and down my walls. Oh, no. It's still there, but the bees. The bees. I mean, there's more bees than I was expecting. No. It's really bad, yeah.

But at the end of the day, I'm glad I had Gilbert Gottfried over. That's true, because he was like, Thanks for having me over shane yeah i like that you and your boys have red white and blue hats making it the most american or french hat display i've ever seen thank you hey do you remember that time when i made that tsunami joke. Oh, God. And then I got canceled before anyone else ever got canceled on the internet. I do remember that, Gilbert Gottfried. I don't recall this.

I do not recall this. He did. I decided to make a joke about the 2005 tsunami. Like minutes after it happened. Oh, yeah. It was way sooner than too soon. It was tough to get canceled back in 2005. It was tough.

Yeah, it was a new frontier of being offensive. We're starting here? Sorry. No, it's okay. Sorry, I'm like... One of the PR changes that I remember that happened after the 2005 tsunami was Jamba Juice had a smoothie that was called Strawberry Tsunami. And then when the 2005 tsunami happened, they changed the name to Strawberry Surfrider.

Oh, I've had a Strawberry Surf Rider. That makes sense. He used to be called Strawberry Tsunami. And they're like, you know, we probably shouldn't have name of a thing that kills people. Yeah. Yeah. Well, anyway. Yeah.

Hello. Right now is the real start. Hi, guys. And now we're starting. Hi, boys. We're in our red, white, blue hats. Oh, hey, look at us. Welcome.

Oh, my gosh. We are all hat boys. We're hat boys. Yeah, but I'm a forward hat boy. I'm a backwards hat boy. Backwards hat boy. For those of you just listening, Damien and I have backwards hats.

Ian has a frontwards hat. It's kind of like Westworld's story. Westworld's story. Westworld's story. A Westworld's story. It's like a Westworld story. Oh, off to a roaring start. Did you all know that Kid Cudi is in the new Westworld? I heard. Because was it Brittany Broski that just did a story about it?

He's Anthony Hopkins. I think Courtney mentioned it. Somebody. Oh, yeah. Courtney mentioned it. Yeah. Yeah just did a story about it? He's Anthony Hopkins. I think Courtney mentioned it. Oh, yeah. Courtney mentioned it. Yeah. Yeah. What the hell? She's not Brittany Broski.

What happened to Kid Cudi? I feel like he had that super popular album. I think he chose to step away. Really? I think so. He got so huge. Kevin's like, can't sing. Kevin's like, nope, can't sing.

I know. I feel like we're breaking all our own rules in the first two minutes of this podcast. But that's okay. We're renegades. But if I do out of tune and I don't do lyrics. No, that's a different. Kevin, can you get to work on that?

That's a different Kid Cudi song. Yeah. Kevin, can you go ahead and auto-tune specific parts of this whole podcast and uh just make it sound good like we're singing kevin go ahead and create a new kid cuddy song kevin could you find and bring kid cuddy to me yeah thank you i have depression depression speaking of depression kid cuddy Cody Kid Cody hell yeah dude amazing

hell yeah you did it alright thanks great and now is the start of the podcast the actual start

of the podcast hello here we are beginning we have not been recording for 25 minutes nope haven't been just saying just loads of offensive shit

just just everything that could possibly get us canceled. Don't stop making canceled jokes right now. Ian has been making cancelable jokes. Damien and I have been listening in horror. We've been trying to do everything to stop him.

We talked about how the burning of the Library of Alexandria was a good thing. You said that. Yeah. That's your bio on Twitter. That the library of Alexandria burning was a good thing. Yeah, that's what you say. Hello, everyone.

Hi. Welcome to another Smoshcast advice thingy. Because we know you want advice from us. The boys like we. The boys, the bros like we. Bros like we. There we go. That's right. Bros like we. I forgot. Brittany bros like we there we go that's right bros like we I forgot Brittany bros like we

whoa she's gonna sue the hell out of us we decided to bring the boys together to answer questions that only men can answer I mean not really but you know no let's be real these are questions

no mirror nevermind you know no let's be real these are questions no no mirror nevermind oh my god it is such a mind field Ian what did you eat for breakfast you're in a mood but Ben Shapiro Ben Shapiro

we can't use any of this no we're starting and now is the start of the podcast and ian didn't say anything offensive again hello cool cats and kittens um so let's just kick it off y'all yeah so what here's what we're doing today right we're yeah so we asked you guys for for advice for bros like we and um and we're just gonna jump right into it you got it philly b jump right in jump right in and let's just jump right into it but before i get started today i want to thank rage shadow legends for sponsoring this video it's the only video game where you can pull six to eight heroes a day,

some of them epic rarity, and then blah, blah, blah. Appreciate you bringing us. First news today comes to us from Georgia, where a thousand people exploded. Did he also do a Raid Shadow Legends? Everybody has. We haven't. Well, we'll wait.

No, because we're advertising a different mobile game right now. A better game. Better game right now a better game a much better game yeah so get fucked Raid Shadow Legends if you feel like advertising us I rescind my my get fucked statement

I actually played that game for a minute it was fun don't say that until we get paid though. That's right. No, now they owe me money. That's why. Is that how sponsorship works? Yeah. I like when influencers do a sponsored content thing but they didn't get paid for it. There's

definitely influencers that make sponsored content that they didn't get paid for. They're like, oh my gosh, using my new hashtag uh l'oreal hashtag cream you think like they got they got sent it for free so they're doing it just out of maybe not even that not always trying to look like they're just trying oh they're trying to make it look like they're trying to look like they're success like they're a successful influencer that gets i don't know if it's necessarily just about that.

I think it's also about making the brand aware of you. If you're getting traction on a post and you're like, hey, I love this L'Oreal shampoo, and then they see that, they're like, hey, how would you like to do this thing properly? I've had friends do stuff like that. But that reasoning seems kind of silly because it's like, why would somebody pay you to do something if you're already doing it for free so you get on their radar like it's the same kind of deal where

like well i don't know like if they don't know you exist then you're not they're not just going to hit you up one day and it's also insane for you to have like no content that's relatable to that specific brand and then go to that brand and be like hey l'oreal shampoo can i have a bunch of money to post on you and they'll just be like no we're not advertising right now who are you like i don't know i think if you cozy up to a brand it's possible it's not something i generally would do but i'm i just i don't think it's necessarily flex i've been trying to do that for a while dole won't give me a brand yeah i know so many goddamn bananas and they still go after a Chiquita banana. They're the ones that understand the internet, man.

You can't go after Dole. You have to go after the other banana monopoly. Are you trying to get a Michelin sponsorship? For those of you at home listening, Ian has a Michelin cap and did not get paid to wear it. I'm just trying. This is a Bros Like We podcast, so I was trying to be as manly as possible, so I wore my manliest hat.

So you wore a hat with a guy who's made out of sperm to represent. Oh my God. Excuse me, he's made out of rubber tires. That's basically testosterone. Basically. No. No, the Michelin Man is actually a ghost i always thought the the original michelin

man is frightening yeah like absolutely frightening most old mascots are he has like a really a really silly french name michelin man name i just have to know michelin mackie it's like bendum. His name is Bibendum. Bibendum? And there's this old poster of him, and he's eating nuts and bolts. So he's like a monster. He's like a monster that raids your tool shed, and in the middle of the night,

you hear some rustling around, and he just turns around like, like that's just the iron giant. Yeah. Be good. He's got, he's sitting at a dinner table. He has a cigar in one hand and he has like a martini glass with like a

horseshoe. That's awesome. The nineties were a different time. Yeah. The 1890s. Yeah. Crazy. Let's give different time. Yeah, the 1890s? Yeah. Crazy. Let's give some advice.

Yeah. Sorry. No, it's okay. Our first question asks, what does the Michelin man look like in his worst form? God damn it! Peter from Arkansas. All the questions are about the Michelin man.

Yeah, I was wondering if is he like poppable or like is is there just like bone underneath all those times it's all just bones like hey guys hey guys big fan of the uh big fan of the cast yeah i've been so i've been seeing my ex for a while uh you know i've been having trouble with her and uh what's the michin man's deal? Yeah. Is he mostly made up of intestine like a koala? Yes. Or a tadpole. That was the creepiest fact that we learned in Australia that they're like, oh, yeah, you'd think that koalas are like fat

because they look kind of fat, like they got a lot of fat on them. But they actually have very little body fat on them. It's mostly their digestive system. They don't even have a brain. It's just intestines it's just another stumble thick skull yeah skull is 98 bone but the bone is 48 tummy tummy meat so australia so the first question yes comes from llama queen yes hi llama and they asked for a school project i'm doing a funny video about the So the first question comes from Llama Queen. Yes. Hi, Llama Queen. They asked, for a school project, I'm doing a funny video about the COVID situation. How can I be funny without risking to offend people?

You are risking to offend people by doing a sketch on it. I mean, you're risking it. I'm not saying you're going to offend anyone. You're risking it because you are making a joke. You're making a sketch around a very tough thing going on. So it's inevitable that someone might be offended. I think with any situation like this, what you want to do is avoid making the joke about victims. You want to appeal to to everyone's experience

during the covid situation so making a joke about how we all have to quarantine is is a good route to go down you don't want to make a joke about somebody that's sick yeah like because that's that's maybe that's yeah punching down and that's also yeah that's, that's maybe, yeah. Punching down. And that's also, yeah. That's a, that's a good point for anything. If you are doing anything comedically, there's generally a risk involved in it that somebody somewhere might be offended by something.

So what you need to do for yourself is to come at it from the most understanding and polite way possible. Like they said, don't punch down at the victims, make fun of the situation. Like look at, we just did a few sketches about quarantine, but I don't think we had a single sick person in any of the sketches. It's not about that. It's about the shared experience. And if, you know, in your best efforts, somebody still gets upset, you know, that's a tricky situation.

You'll have to deal with it then. But if you're doing the best you can beforehand to be understanding and kind, that should be okay. I think what Ian said is, you know, with our sketches and everything, it's COVID adjacent. It's not, you know, we're, we're making fun of things that are a result of the situation. We're not making fun of the situation like, and make it about yourself. Like make a,

make a sketch about your experience quarantining and something dumb there you know like if you make a sketch about running out of toilet paper and what you're doing to replace toilet paper that's that has to do with the you know a situation that is a result of what's going on this year it's not making fun of the thing itself i i think that's the only real route you can go you can't make a sketch about covid yeah i mean you could you could tow the i mean i would say you could tow the line if you went like the the sort of like always sunny route where it's like you're you're making fun of the ignorance of people that are doing the wrong thing. But I think because it's for school,

you got to be a little bit more careful. Right. Yeah. But I think, I think it's, yeah, it's you just, just avoid,

avoid making jokes about, about the victims. Yeah. You're good. And I think the difficulty there too, is like what you're saying, Ian is totally a valid point, but people don't always pick up that you're

making fun of a character. Like this character is a bad person. This character is ignorant. And that's the joke. But some people will just take that at face value and be like, I can't believe you said that. And you're like, well, I'm making fun of the person. They're like, no, you wrote the person. And so it's like, ah, it's a gray area. People don't pick up on sarcasm. So if, you know, I've had tweets or whatever, where I am making fun of an offensive person and people just do not pick up on that. So they think that I am making an offensive joke when I'm making fun of someone who's offensive.

Right. It's kind of like if you did a Ben Shapiro impression and people didn't know who Ben Shapiro was, they'd be going, why are you saying that awful stuff? It's like, no, I'm making fun of someone who says awful stuff.

Well, that's the whole thing. That's the whole thing with Always Sunny. Like, there's a lot of people that watch that show for the wrong reasons. It's the same thing, like, people that idolize Rick from Rick and Morty. Right. It's like, no, he's a bad person. Yeah.

Like, that's the point. It's pointing out the ignorance of, you know, a bad person. Exactly. And not everyone gets that yeah and and you just gotta kind of i don't know like i hope that people do if you want to go down that route but good luck not everyone's not everyone's that big brain uh so next one this is a curly whirly nice name uh they said i'm about to graduate with my master's in one of the worst job economies in history. I'm defeated that after all this work, I have to go move back in with my dad. I'm not

sure when people will be hiring again. Any advice on how to stay positive or find a job? I've got a thought on this one. We're in a very unique situation right now where pretty much the whole world is in the same, at least grand scheme of things, boat. So, you know, obviously it'd be one thing where if everybody's getting a job left and right, and now you have to move back in with your parents, it would be very disheartening. I understand that even then it would be fine, but it would be disheartening. But right now it's not like everybody has a leg up on you. Everybody else is getting hired right now too. Anybody who's in your boat, who you will be competing against to find a job in a normal situation, you're going to be competing

against them in maybe a couple of months when this dies down. They didn't beat you. You're not the only one stuck. I think that's a good point. Knowing that you're not alone is a good one. I think also a big one is a lot of us, especially if you were going to college and everything, you've put your worth on finding a job. But a job is, and I know this is, I know it's impossible to not be stressed and not feel down when you don't have a job. And you're probably in debt from your degrees. But that isn't your whole worth. And there is more to life than that. And I think the way you get through this phase, because if you keep trying, you keep putting yourself out there, you keep submitting

for jobs, you keep searching for jobs, it may take time. It may take years and you just have to be patient with that and find worth in other things and know that just because you're not super successful right now doesn't mean you won't be eventually. And doesn't mean life is hopeless right now. So like finding a good job is so much of that is, is based on luck and timing. Like you're not going to, there's no guarantee that you're going to jump out of college and find your dream job instantly. Like I think about that sometimes too with Smosh, with some of like the really great people that we have working with us. I'm like, they just happen to be on the market for a job when we were looking for somebody to fill that position. Like how rare is that? That the

perfect person is going to be looking for the job at the exact moment that you need to fill that position so i think it sucks to have to move back in with your parents but also it's it's a fortunate position to be able to have that fall back to be able to to to have you know a roof over your head for that for the time being and yeah it's it's so much about luck and timing. Like it might take some time, but I mean, you got a master's, that's definitely a leg up on other people.

I don't know what the degree is. I know it can sometimes make it tougher because jobs don't want to hire someone with a master's and have to pay them more as opposed to hiring multiple people with less and pay them less. But I would also say, don't be afraid. You probably, as someone with a master's, you probably have a very,

you have a vision of what you want, where you want to work and what you want to do, especially in this time, keep your horizons open and other jobs that you may not have never thought that you'd want to do or see yourself in might come about. And you might find yourself in a career a few years down the line where you're like, I never would have thought I'd be working in this. Totally. But you could be, that happens all the time. People have masters in one type of major, but they end up working in a complete,

there was a Twitter thread recently where it was like, what's your degree in? What do you work in? And people had so many where they were in a completely different, someone was like, I have a degree in biochemistry and I'm a comic book writer or something like that like just stuff like that happens flipping Ashton Kutcher was like molecular biology or something like that and then was like I'm gonna do I'm gonna be an underwear

model and then yeah that's where it's he was also hot so yeah all you have to do is be born so hot just be like yeah so hot and then be like, so hot. And then you're fine. It's really the key to life. Just,

but I think look hot. I think that's the, I think there is something to like really keeping your mind open and like just patience, man. Like it, it Damien's right. It's brutal for everyone.

And it, you know, but Shane made a great point. Like between working on so random and then starting on Smosh, I had so many different jobs and every single one of them, I was like, oh, I can actually see how I can move forward in this and be happy. Like, and they all just sort of led me to where I am today. Not directly, certainly not a direct path, working a customer service, uh, and then spending

time with my buddies later in online gaming built that relationship. And then one of those buddies got me that leather crafting job, and I learned how to do that. And then the person that hired me for the leather crafting job got me into working sound for 3D cameras. And then when that happened, I was more available to do a VR voice acting based job because they knew I was doing that. And then I'm back here because of stuff, connections I made from so random days. So it's all a path, but it's certainly not a straight line. And I think that'll take pressure off you. Because even if you're just moving slightly to the left and up a little bit, you've still got some forward movement. And then eventually you'll get to where you want. And it's also okay if you put in a bunch of effort into something and it ends up not going anywhere.

The point is to just be putting in effort because that's fulfilling for yourself. It's tough. And it's okay to acknowledge that it's brutal. And it's it is to just be putting in effort because that's fulfilling for yourself. It's tough. And it's okay to acknowledge that it's brutal. And it is tough to be motivated. You're not going to be motivated every day. But you just keep going, okay, I'm going to keep working towards a goal. But I'm going to put in my effort

everywhere. And if opportunities arise, I'm going to put in as much effort as I can into those and just keep going. All right. Let's move on to this next one. This one comes from hoohoo beanie, which you can get at smash.store. Nice. This person asks,

how do you create a workspace at home that you feel comfortable working in? I find myself getting distracted too often by the smallest things. And because of that, I find it hard to focus. I've got a thought on this. If that's cool. As an introverted person, we brought thought on this, if that's cool. As an introverted person- That's why we brought you on this podcast.

Thank you so much. As an introverted person that used to work from home while I was doing customer service, and so I'm pretty used to that, you have to have designated spaces for different things, even if it's not a different room. Like I spend most of my time in this small room, but if I'm working, even if I have a laptop

and I'm able to be mobile, I never do it on my bed. Not once. Because if I'm on my bed, that's when I can see my TV, all my video game controllers are there. That's when I start to get distracted. That's when I relax. That's when I pick up the phone and look at it. If I am at my desk, I am either doing work for Smosh and writing or Twitch streaming or whatever, or voice acting, but it's, this is work. I can't relax here anymore. Maybe when quarantine is over, but I cannot relax at my desk. That's what's been helping me a lot. I mean, cause when you're working at home, you never feel like you're on the clock or off the clock. So set times in the day that you're not working and times of the day that you are working. And I think also when you're finding it hard to be motivated to work,

try doing the hardest tasks at the beginning of the day. Get that stuff done first. And then it's less daunting to get something done. Because we've had shoots where I just find it so like now that we're shooting at home, I find it so hard to, to, to shoot sometimes because the task just seems so daunting. I'm like, oh my gosh, like I have so many scenes to shoot and like costume changes and angles and like all this stuff.

And, and I find it hard to it hard to just put that foot forward to get started. Yeah. It's a lot easier to motivate yourself later on in the day if it's an easier thing to do. I'd agree with that. Definitely. I also, I think breaking things up

and looking at it task by task, like as much as you can put it into pieces as opposed to looking at, oh, I've got to do all of this today. I've got to do it like for us. It's like, oh, I got to do a whole shoot today going. No, I'll do this scene. I got this scene. I'll split that. That scene is consists of these two different shots. So I'm breaking up into piece by piece. So I know like I'm just focused on that. I'm focused on something that is very doable in that moment, as opposed to shoot this whole sketch. That seems impossible. And then also there's i know there's a lot of apps and stuff on the phone that

like it'll be like a timer and while that timer's up if you go out of the app it it like stops or whatever so it's kind of like a commitment thing of like hey this forces you to essentially be off your phone for however much time you set on it and stuff like that can be really good because the phone is the easiest thing to distract you totally so if you if you eliminate that and you see that timer you know like okay in that space i i just gotta work i'll work in that time limit once that's up i'll give myself a 15 minute break i think that's a big one shane because i think at least for myself i have a really hard time relaxing because of the stuff that you said ian where it's like i you, there's no on the clock or off the clock.

I'll still be waiting around at 8pm when I should be relaxing, thinking like, oh, is there something else I can do? And I think it's because I haven't fully designated the time for work or for play. Because you get on your phone because you're like, oh, there's no way, you know, I'm going to be relaxing right now. I just have to have one more minute with my phone. Take 15 minutes of work, and then you've earned yourself 15 minutes of phone time.

And when you actually schedule in the fun stuff too, that is as important as the work, you don't ignore either. You don't blur the lines. You can have it be their own things that you have to do. You have to relax for 15. And be present with your work. Like put all of yourself, the more you put yourself into that work,

the more relaxed you're going to feel later. It's kind of like when, if you work out, working out harder just lets you relax more once you're done and you feel better because you feel you really gave it your all and you've got it all done.

This question also comes from WhoWhoBeanie, which you could still get at Smosh.store. It's a friendship related question. They said, during this quarantine, I found myself distancing myself from my friends because I don't like texting. Any tips on how to avoid becoming a hermit? This is an example of like, you just sort of got to do it. Like maybe you can invite your friends to a Zoom call if that's easier than texting. But like I get not wanting to rely on text, but right now the circumstances of the world are pretty different.

So like it's either, do you want to stay in contact with your friends or do you want to not text? It's kind of the two. Yeah, I mean like just find a different way of staying in contact with them other than texting. Because texting is like, we all just became so used to that

being the main form of communication because it's quote-unquote easy but holy shit it's so much easier to have a conversation over the phone or over facetime it's so much easier and you can focus on the person you can actually have a real conversation rather than send one thing and then answer back 30 minutes later you can't have like a real conversation with a group of people over text. Like it's just a pain in the ass. And you lose, you lose nuance in text too.

You read it and you're like, how could they be so mean about that? And they're like, no, I was being sarcastic, you know? Yeah, for sure.

So there's anything necessarily, I think you can do both. I think, but I think it's a matter of very similar to our previous question. It's a matter of just like setting up, like knowing every day that you're going to reach out to someone. Like just, and maybe it is texting.

That's something. But to just make sure you're always, and I think that's good even outside of quarantine because I think it's very easy to lose track of some people, you know? Like I think just to always be like, oh, okay, I'm going to reach out to this person. I'm going to say that,

even if I'm just saying I'm thinking about them. Let's jump into some quarantine related questions. Oh, fun. Have you guys, sorry, random thing. I've been watching Game Grumps again lately because I've had so much more time. The funniest thing is apparently on YouTube, like they're sort of pushing videos down that specifically say like quarantine and COVID-19, like it's sort of a listened thing,

like any cursing would be. So they're referring to it as the Backstreet Boys reunion tour. So they keep saying, yeah, I didn't want to go to the beach because people could be giving away tickets to the tour and you didn't even try to go, but all of a sudden

you're there. That's so funny. Isn't that great? I love that. I don't know if the algorithm picks up people mentioning COVID You're there. That's so funny. Isn't that great? God, that's funny. Sorry. I love that. Come up with our own. I don't know if the algorithm picks up people mentioning COVID. All I know is they were just calling it that. But I understand the paranoia around it and why they would do that. For sure. God, that's so funny, though.

Sorry, I just had to share. That's genius. No, I love that. I love that. Gotta love the gang rooms. Gotta love them. Aaron and Danny. They're my favorites. They're good boys. Oh, and actually, that leads into love them. Gotta love the gang rooms. Gotta love them. Aaron and Danny. They're my favorite.

Oh, and actually that leads into this question. Right. Actually. They said how to, wait, does it? Yeah, for me. This comes from accordingly69. Nice. Yachty.

They said, how to maintain your sanity while living alone, please and thank you. The reason that, I've answered first for all these questions, please and thank you. I've answered first for all these questions, so I'm sorry. But the reason that bleeds into what I was talking about with the Game Grumps was when I lived alone, I lived alone from ages like 20 to 22, 23. I had my own little bachelor pad in mid-city LA and back when property values were so much lower and I could actually have a one bedroom for way less than it should have been a very lucky good position. But I would go days without talking

to people because I would just be in my place playing video games. Like I don't need to go to the store. I don't need to do anything. But what really helped me was having a routine. And at that time, that was when the game grumps first started and they uploaded twice a day once at 10 a.m once at 2 p.m and those were very specifically the times i looked forward to most in the day so be like oh i have to get my work done so i have to you know so i can be ready for the video upload um obviously that's not going to be the case for everybody but having a routine is incredibly important uh and making yourself stick to it You are the only one who is responsible for yourself when living alone. So have some discipline. Let yourself be like, no, I can't

have sweets before this hour of the day. No, I can't watch TV until work gets done. You have to have a second mind sort of overcoming all sort of distractions that you have in front of you. And it helps to write that down in a routine. Word vomit. There we go. I think that's good. I think I relate to that in a lot of ways. There's silver linings to living alone, which is one is that you're in full control of your living space and your day. So it is easier in some ways to be productive. I think living alone has helped me a lot with fitness. I know everything is ready at home. I got everything set up, whatever.

Go to the gym. But even living alone now, I'm like, I can work out in the middle of my living space at any time. I'm not disrupting anybody else's time. And then I don't know. For me, it's before all of this, I would go hang out with people. I would go to work. Living alone when I didn't have a job was really tough for me, I will say, because I had so much time by myself and being able to, when I'm going to an office and I'm working all day and I'm around people all day, it's very nice

to come back to my own space. I love that. And same if I go to out to a party or a bar and I'm hanging out with people, it's nice to come back to my own space at the end of the night and then wake up and just, it just be me. And I'm like, just worried about myself. But I think also like one of the previous questions, you got to also make sure you're reaching out to people all the time. You got to be active about your, so like make it a routine of like, okay, I'm going to hit people up every day, call them, text them, whatever, just, just to keep that going. As, as good as you think you might be dealing with living alone right now like try to be aware of like when you're struggling during this and reach out to a

friend yeah i think that's i think that's probably the most important thing because like for me for me like i always i always like compartmentalize things and like just kind of like nah i'm good i can deal with it but it definitely does help like talking with friends, especially through this kind of stuff. This might be too deep. Um, so maybe ignore it, but you know, you're saying it's good to talk through things like that as a friend of yours. Sometimes I feel like there are walls up. Like when I want to talk about something more serious or check in that you're okay like you said you're good at sort of fronting like no it's fine hey it's how it goes so as a friend how would you is it just a timing thing for you where like sometimes you're ready to talk and

sometimes you won't do you care if I like push a little bit because there have been things recently where I wanted to like check up on you but I got sort of like a like i'm chill man so i don't know do you is it is it on me as your friend to like go further or do i wait for you to reach out or if this is too deep ignore it but no i mean like i i i also don't think that i'm the best at like recognizing uh when you know i need like help or not not not so much so much like help, but just like, I'm, I'm very much like, I, maybe it's like I don't want to burden people or, or I just don't want to be bothered to, to like talk about it.

I'm not, I'm not completely certain, but I do, but I do think it's like, it's definitely good to talk to people. It's good to just, even if it's not it's definitely good to to talk to people it's it's good to just even if it's not about like anything in particular just just being able to to unload whatever's going on in your brain is uh is a healthy thing sure okay typically dealing with with anything uh in particular that's that's uh you know that i see as a as a problem so let's see let's move on the next one uh double 10 14 uh and this is actually a question shane you were sort of touching on already uh what's a good at-home workout routine for someone without a lot of

weights oh shit do it son i've been getting a lot of weights. Oh, shit. Do it, son. I've been getting a lot of messages from people asking me my workout routine during all this. I do have a couple pairs of dumbbells. So that is obviously if you don't have them, that makes things a little more difficult.

Honestly, like I for one, I mean, if there is a park or somewhere where you can jog a safe distance from everyone, that's great. I mean, if, if there is a park or somewhere where you can jog a safe distance from everyone, that's great. I mean, jogging is, is just so healthy for you. If you don't have that, if you have a jump rope, that's awesome too. For me, I mean, honestly, I've been doing a lot of, uh, body weight exercises.

I do just a ton of pushups. I mean, on, on those days I have a pull-up bar. If you don't have that back exercises are really tough to figure out. But, you know, so with stuff like push-ups, if you're doing push-ups and bicycles and sit-ups, and then you're doing stuff like squats, jump squats are amazing. You're just literally jumping up in the air as much times as a row. Lunge switchbacks, where you kind of have your leg down in a lunge type of situation and you just switch your legs back and forth.

And just, you know, Google, like, look up, like, great body weight exercises for every muscle group. And there's tons. So body weight exercises would be the term. Is that me hearing that makes me go like, oh, holy crap. Yeah, that's what I would Google. Yeah, because you're just using your body weight. You don't have anything else.

Stuff like yoga is even great. I mean, there is so much stuff you can do and, and yes, you're, you're not able to gain a lot of mass of like lifting heavyweight, but you do a bunch of reps. I mean, you work out hard, push yourself for an hour. A lot of those like, you know, high interval training classes that people pay a lot of money to go to a lot of them don't incorporate that many weights like it's just body weight exercise is it called calisthenics calisthenics calisthenics or something isn't that body weight is that body weight i don't i don't actually know but i know it can be referred to as body weight exercises and there's a ton and i mean mean, if you Google it, there's, I'm sure now, especially there's tons of YouTube fitness channels that are like making full routines. I know even Chris Hemsworth had like a thing that he was doing. There's tons of stuff

you can do. And all you need is literally like a six foot square space, just wear some gym shorts and stuff. And, and you can, you can do everything you need. I mean, really, and that goes beyond this. Like if you're able to commit to that and you do that at least every other day, you'll be in great shape eventually. I mean, the consistency is more important than the actual routine, I believe. Yep. I believe if you do something every – if you jog a mile a day every day for months, that's going to be better than doing the craziest workout. Yeah. A couple of days.

100%. I mean, that's just how it goes. Cause a lot of those people that, that do do the crazy workout. Do do. They end up, uh,

either injuring themselves or they just, they're just like, oh, well I did that crazy workout. So I don't need to work out for three or four days. And also that's me sometimes like i'm definitely guilty of that uh i think this this this this offers a great opportunity to like be like okay over the course of the next month while i'm still in quarantine i'm gonna work

on seeing how many push-ups i can get myself up to doing by the end of it and so every day i'm gonna try to do a little bit more give yourself a rest day every now and then, but, but keep trying to up that number, stuff like that. That's great. Yeah. How many pushups you up to bro?

Hundreds. 5,000. 5,000. I haven't officially tried to see how many I can do in a row. Um, cause let's do it. I'll do like 25 and I'll take a break. I'll do like some tricep stuff.

Then I'll go back, do 25. I took, I took pushups for granted in a way. Cause when I was in karate as a kid, they would have you do all these like stretches and exercises before you started. And so it would be like, you know, you got to do this routine of stretching. And at the end, I'm going to need, uh, 50 pushups, 50 sit-ups, 50 squats, like all that stuff. And then we can get started. So it was all like a race with how quick you could get done, like with your other classmates.

So back when I was like a spry youngster with a very fit body and like didn't have to deal with, you know, just being a tired adult, we did like 50 to 60 push-ups like with good form within like a minute or two. And it was nothing. And then I stopped doing that now going back as an adult trying to do push-ups i'm like whoo that 20 was sure a lot also your body weight is so much more yeah i know but i'm just saying i had a skewed view where i was like oh i could probably do like 60 right now and it's like yeah no when i was i think i was i think i was like 13

and i did a hundred in a row but that's because I weighed nothing. I could never, I don't think it's possible for me to do a hundred in a row now because I weigh, I have 70 pounds on when I was 13. So that's, that's, I'm doing, I'm lifting more weight. Sure. That's fair. What I've been doing to do that is uh i'll step outside on my balcony and just like sigh a few times and then i'll go back inside that's good that's a good one yeah yeah breath breath i eat oreos with a lot of passion okay sorry random thing i am not a sweets guy but last night i was like i gotta have. So I postmated some ice cream from Salt and Straw. I got bone marrow and smoked cherry flavored ice cream.

Whoa. Yeah. Sounded. Salt and Straw does not fuck around. They're not messing about. They're not messing about, son. They get weird. I can't.

I can't with the weird ones. I love Salt and Straw, but I still, even at salt and straw, I get chocolate or vanilla. Or like coffee flavor if I'm feeling crazy. Whoa! Yeah. I ordered some from Jenny's and I got like a brown sugar and like almond, like toffee. Dude, it was so flippin' good. Dude. It was so flipping good.

Yeah. We're working our way down these questions. There's no way we'll get to the whole bottom section. There's one in that bottom section that you know I want to talk about from the Instagram questions. Okay. Let's do it. You know which one it is.

Just jump to it. Just do it. You know which one it is. No, I don't. Just call it out. Just read it. It's the third one. This is your rodeo. Really? But this is such a dumb question. Just jump to it. Just do it. You know which one it is. No, I don't. I just call it out. Just read it. It's the third one. This is your rodeo.

Really? But this is such a dumb question. Like, all right. We all know the answer to this one. Helena Elena dot XO asked, should toilet paper roll over or under? And obviously, it's over. Over. Yes.

You have to be a stupid idiot to think it's over. I got to be honest. I got gotta be honest i gotta be honest here man because i've been thinking about this shut up i i don't think there's anything wrong with it going under i don't think there's anything wrong with it i am mad at you now i am i am look i am the only person i think in the world that is completely neutral on this but i'm passionate there's a war going on no i'mately neutral. I think both sides work just fine. I think the benefit of the under Don't go Switzerland on this.

The benefit of the under is that you're less likely to accidentally roll out too much. I've never done that though. As an adult, you're tearing off three pieces, three little squares at a time or whatever. How do you go

and then accidentally unroll the whole thing? You don't yank it. You tear it to the right or left like an adult. It's not that much more inconvenient for it to be on the backside. It is. Untrue. It's the difference between going boop or.

No. You're not a fucking cat. Thank you. I am not one of them. And that's why I don't need to do it under because it's dumb. Actually, yeah. If you have a cat,

maybe going under would be better. Oh've brought ian to my side we'll fight you both and win oh that's actually a great point having it under would make it less likely for a cat to roll it all my cat doesn't roll it out your cat doesn't i've never had a cat do it i'm just saying like but it's possible to do it maybe under train your cats footer. I never thought I'd be an under boy. If I put on my toilet paper and I realize, oh, I put it under, I'm not changing it. I don't care. That's where I stand.

Wherever it's at, it does not bother me. What bothers me more than the over the under is when toilet paper, when the holder is in a very odd place. When it's way behind like it's it's next it's parallel to the tank that's opposed to being next to the seat yeah when people have those toilet paper holders that aren't actually attached to the wall they're like on a long ass like stand

but then it's like a weird place like it can't be too far it's got to be right next to your right or left hand like it's got to be literally your arm is still bent and you're able to just grab it. I've thrown out a shoulder before trying to wipe my ass with things like that. Yeah, it's tough work, man. It's hard work, man. Got a big ass. Also, just want to say real quick, the patent for toilet paper, if you look it up, it is over. Oh, so you're saying we should do things like we did in the 1800s?

No. Yes, exactly. Things change. We get better at stuff. We don't need no life hacker like, actually, if you take your toilet paper and pull it through a tissue box, it works. It's like, forget that.

Nobody ever actually uses the life hacks that we tell them about, Shane. So why don't we just do things for real? All right. So we all agree over unless you have a crazy cat that likes a roll of toilet paper.. So we all agree. We all agree. Over. Over. Unless you have a crazy cat that likes a roll of toilet paper. Yeah. We all agree. Let me jump to a dating question.

Oh. Oh. Over or under. Local lesb asked. That's their name. I didn't. That's just what their name is. They said,

tips on finding a partner. I've been really lonely during quarantine and I'd love to at least start talking to someone to not feel as lonely. When you're talking about finding a partner, nothing's worse than desperation. So if you're, I'm just saying like, like if you're saying like, gosh, I'm really lonely. I really want to find someone to talk to because I'm just so lonely. That's not a good angle to come after. I mean, I don't think that's their opening line. No, but it's the intention.

Hi, hi, please. Oh, fuck. I'm so lonely. Because I can, I think they just mean in general, like they want to be dating. They just want to like, but I don't know. I have a problem with that. I've always had an issue with the idea because I used to be that way of needing of your happiness, being reliant on you being in a relationship, I think is the most unhealthy thing.

And I know that's also making an extreme out of what the, I know the person asking probably means it's in a much lighter sense of just like, oh, I'd like to be dating. How do I date during this time? But also, if you are lonely because you're not in a relationship, that's a problem. Like you don't have to be lonely because you're not in a relationship. But dating apps and stuff, I mean, people are figuring it out. But obviously, yeah, you're not going to be able to like fully date someone right now. Like that's just like not in person yeah i started doing like video dates but it's like if i'm not vibing with the person i'm not gonna just because i'm lonely i'm not

gonna like go back and talk to them you just like close the laptop like no heads up it's like i'm done bye no but it is it is a little awkward like one-on-one and i had my doubts by the pictures they were using and my doubts were confirmed when when they showed up on video because they were very strategically positioned let me just say that it's all right look it's just just represent yourself truthfully in in the the apps. Like it's, I'm not saying, I'm not saying like they were, when you look different from your photos on the dating apps,

that's not right. That's not okay. Face time. And it's just this. Yeah. He's not FaceTiming a Midwestern father. It's just, it's, it's, it's it's the same oh for the audio people shane put his phone directly like below his chest i look like the under chin yeah like a titan it's i mean it's the same thing if you're meeting somebody in person for like a first date i've heard i've heard horror stories of of people meeting someone and they're completely like, one person that I talk to.

I always feel so bad about that though. Like that's like, it must be so tough to be so uncomfortable with your looks that you feel you have to completely lie about. I mean, it's essentially, I mean, you're talking about one step away from catfishing where people who do literally Photoshop their pictures. So they just essentially are a different person

in their photos as opposed to but i feel so bad for them i feel like that's got to be so tough yeah or somebody like myself who's in my 30s there's people that are using photos of themselves from like six or seven years ago yeah and you're like ah okay i mean interesting choice i and i look when i was on dating apps i had the option of like using photos that made me look like i was taller or like you know what whatever and i was always against that because i'm like i would so much rather the swipes that i'm getting i know that they know what i look like for sure yeah of, of course. And honestly, if it's going to be a problem for that person, like if height, for example, if someone would not have swiped left, swiped left, if they thought,

you know, that you weren't a super duper tall person, then it's already not going to work out with that person. So why lie about it and get them on a date only for them to be like, well, no, i'm the type of person where height matters so much there's no way like you're wasting both of your your time so yeah it's it's brutal i mean it is so brutal i mean obviously like it's yeah i think my my approach is always just represent myself as truthfully as i can on on dating apps but but then i also understand like people have insecurities and that bleeds through on their of course on their profile of course it's just unfortunate because it's like you can't you can't start a relationship off on a lie well it also yeah like i can get

that because even if they were even if they were even if i found them attractive when i saw them in person if they looked completely different than the photos, I'd be just weirded out. I'd be like, wait, what's going on? Now I can't trust anything you're going to do. Yeah. So when I went on that video date, vibe was immediately off because I was like, oh, you look completely different. It is. Well, cause you do start on a lie and that's the thing, but also you might be attracting the wrong kind of people. If you're, you know, um, you know, adjusting your photos at all like i'm somebody who when i was on the dating apps i would be very intimidated if all

the shots look like model model model model i'm like oh that's no way like i i she looks like she'd be mean to me or something like that or like you know she looks like she would want to go to the club every night and that's not my my thing. And I wouldn't even give it a shot. But if that person turned out to be like so introverted and like look like a normal human being and all that stuff, that's what I would actually be like attracted to. But if they misrepresented themselves as a model or something, you know what I mean? Yeah. You're attracting the wrong type of person. I got that with the bio too because I remember I had friends trying to like give me pointers on like no the bio needs to be like this means needs to be a little bit more

like flirty and and and serious or whatever and i was like i'm not that yeah like yeah cool like should i pretend that i'm a different human until they meet me and realize i'm not that human like yeah i don't know finally relax after a year of a relationship and be like okay god this is who i really am here you go yeah exactly i mean that's what people do and it sucks it's why it's why uh so many relationships are dysfunctional so uh this next question comes from ben atherton 03 the ben atherton the ben atherton zed 3 Zed is Z not O zero yeah I guess they don't

zilch ought yeah ought yeah ought my bad thanks for calling me out thanks for making me look stupid Damien dude you got yourself for that

no worries this person said so I've been with a girl for about a year since quarantine started I've been pretty distant because I don't see her I think I've lost interest do i try to wait the quarantine out and see how i feel or break things off now oh man there's a lot there's a lot there there's so much not information there

i feel like like you've been seeing a girl for a year and now you're actively saying like yeah i've been distant i I've moved away. I don't see her. I don't keep in contact with her too much. So of course you don't feel anything because now you're making yourself a stranger to her. One, maybe we should bleep your name in case she also smosh. Yeah. But two, like you've sort of got to check in with where your emotions are at. Do you miss this girl? Do you actually want to communicate with her? You know, you're saying you feel yourself pull away, but even though your feelings are something you can't quite control,

your actions definitely are. So if you're, it's not like your body has made you pull away. It's like you are pulling away. You got to ask yourself why you're doing that. It is an active thing. That being said, it is very tricky to maybe break off with someone. I don't know if you're younger or if you're living on your own, but if you're the only person that this girl would have during quarantine and you're breaking it off, that sucks.

I acknowledge that. It's crazy times. I would normally say, yeah, it sounds like you've lost interest. Maybe you should break it off. Sounds like you're not interested anymore. But also it's like, this is a crazy time that nobody prepared for. And maybe you just have a lot of stuff on your mind. And because of that, you're not able to focus on somebody that you care about. But you've also like recognize this feeling. So I feel like you're just kind of, i feel like you've kind of recognized that you're not feeling anymore and you're just delaying the inevitable i think that's possible i think but i but i will say there's so many ways you could go about giving advice on this because i would also say you've been with someone with a for a year which is a long enough time that if something's

not feeling right maybe first try to do something to see if there's a way to fix the situation if you're going oh i'm not feeling this because we're not talking much well then maybe try to set up something so you're talking more like you know you uh you dated this person for a year there must have also been something there to start with you know i see a lot of questions where it's like yeah i haven't been feeling it lately um should i just end it and like, well, do you want to see if maybe like, you know, there is an, there is an aspect of work involved in a relationship that you put in effort. And if you continue to be in relationships and expect to just keep feeling it, regardless of how much effort you're putting into it, then you're going to end up single

over and over and over again. There has to be an element of putting in for this other person. That's a good point. I don't know. I'd say if you have done that and you're feeling this way, then yeah, maybe it's time to move on, but give it a shot. I will say, not to make this person feel bad, but when you're looking for a partner, especially something a little bit more long-term, it's also important to know how you react in a crisis, right? Because this is the kind of person where if you're going to continue being with them, it's been a year, two years, three years, things are going to come up.

The world is going to be crazy again at some point. And if you are the type of person to, in a crisis, just completely detach and not need a partner it's not necessarily a bad thing it's just maybe how you're wired but if that's not what you need or you feel yourself not even gravitating toward this person in a crisis then maybe it's not a good match don't rush in anything you know many decisions but you definitely have to consider where you're at right now and how you've responded already yeah Yeah. So probably worth having a conversation with this, this, uh, significant other and say, Hey, this is how I'm feeling. Maybe this is why I'm feeling it. How are you feeling? How do you feel about me being more distant? Or do you care? Do you care?

Does it actually matter to you what they think? Or are you asking just to ask? That's another important question. All right. So we're, we're coming down to the end so let's go to the lightning round so so this is uh these are a bunch of questions that were asked over instagram thank you guys so much for submitting those to the smosh instagram story this uh comes from kyle durand uh the question was what are some healthy coping mechanisms you guys use? Journaling. Write down exactly how you feel about stuff. Vent it all out. Exercise and designate specific time to relax. Don't leave it nebulous. Give yourself one hour of relaxation scheduled. I probably don't have one. I compartmentalize. All right, let's go to

the next one. This one comes from Tricks464. They said, favorite part about filming from home? Setting my own schedule, being my own boss. Setting my own schedule and being bottomless all the time. Gross. Not having to drive to work and just being here and just getting a little bit more sleep. That's my favorite part.

Okay, so now this person, Andy Hayes asks, when you were kids, what did you want to be when you grow old? And in parentheses, how did dream change? How did dream change? Doctor, then astronaut,

then chef, but then I got attention for being in a theater production and then I was an actor and now we're here. I didn't have dreams. Okay, I wanted to be a veterinarian for all of my childhood until I did

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory in fifth grade and was like, oh, I'm actually really good at this. Have we talked about this? Shane, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory was my first play that got me into acting in third grade. What part did you play? Willy Wonka. I played Willy Wonka.

Whoa! Are you kidding me? Did we just find out a new thing about you guys? What the hell? That's so funny. Yo, that's insane. I was the only one to audition for the part, so. Yeah, well, I was the only one who was like asking for it.

Everyone's like, I don't care, I don't know. And I was like, can I be Willy Wonka? And they're like, yeah, well, here's some attention. He's the one with the name in the title. I want to be that one. Shane! It used to be on video. I used to have the VHS of it.

I have to have some photos somewhere. Yeah. My mom has to. That'd be funny. That's crazy. Shane, what the hell? That's a weird one. What other plays are you going to do in fifth grade?

What are you talking about? There's a million. Death of a Salesman? I know we just discovered this, but guys, we got to move on. It's lightning round. Okay,

fine. We got to touch on that later. Can't wait for this more interesting question that comes. That's wild. Here it is. Drew Nichols, 13, asked,

what are some small pleasures? For example, mine is a mug of hot chocolate. Finding extreme commonality with a friend and discovering new things after years of friendship. Just kidding. Sitting down and playing a video game while watching TV. Splitting my brain two ways actually occupies all of my thoughts so I don't have to like overthink stuff. So video game and TV at the same time.

Two answers. Fresh laundry. And also when you wake up two hours before your alarm goes off. So you get to just sit there and go, yeah, I get to go back the fuck to sleep, and it feels so good. Driving through an open road in the wilderness early morning,

I mean, do it with like a complimentary broth, like soy flavor, but. Oh, like shoyu ramen. Yeah, shoyu, yeah. What is that, seven, eight? Your ass.

That ass. Fitting your mouth around the wide lid of the jif and then just going. Y'all ever done, y'all ever spread some peanut butter on a banana? Yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah. Okay, hold on. Can we just talk really quick really quick

why do apples taste so much better when you slice them i that's a loaded question my friend i wouldn't say that i think that's i yeah i don't know no no no no no no no give it a shot obviously i have i've given it a shot many times in my life i've tried it better it's so much better but there's something about specifically something that's crisp like like a Fuji apple that like when you bite into it and that first big bite, you actually take like half the apple side with you. And it's just like, Oh yes, perfect.

It's too much. It's one of those like softer red, delicious things. I would slice that. So you get a little bit of that crown. See, I'm a granny Smith boy and I'll, I'll eat them anyway.

You know, there's Damien's making a yucky face. There's like 500 varieties of apples. Granny Smith's are the best. I've had them, and I've had Fuji. Click by Soul asks, would you guys date a woman that is taller than you? So this is a question that's kind of-

Yes, I have. We kind of talked about this in the podcast last week where I confronted Carrie Miller, Courtney's sister, that I'm to marry, um, in the future. Um, and she only dates guys that are six foot or taller. Um, would I date a woman that's taller than me? Yeah. I don't care. I mean, I might, I mean, but I don't know. I've never done it, but I feel like maybe there is something. I have zero problem with it. I think the only issue for me, and I know it's the same for tall girls, is that they worry that they are judged. So they feel insecure.

I think I would, unless I like felt comfortable enough where I'm like, they don't care. They don't care. Then I don't care. But I think if I'm worried that they care, that might affect it. Yeah. I dated a person just not for very long, but I dated a girl who was taller than me a few years ago

and it didn't matter to me. It just, I would not, it doesn't bother me. I've dated literally, every person I have dated has looked so different. Like, I have no type. The same.

I have literally no type. I ain't got no type. I don't know. But Ian, you're saying you would date someone taller than you. Sure. I've just never done it, I guess. Well, I mean, maybe just like a slight teensy-tinesy bit taller than me, maybe. I would date somebody like maybe not like over six feet.

I would date someone over six foot. I have no problem with that. Because it's just a compatibility thing. If you want to like kiss the person, I don't have to go on my tippy toes. I don't have to make her bend over. I don't know if don't have to go on my tippy toes. I don't have to make her bend over. I don't know if you'll have to be on your tippy toes, but I don't know. I'm the same way. I don't think I, looking back, I don't think I have, but I certainly would.

That's not a thing for me at all. Yeah, I have zero. I've never experienced. I think the thing is, I feel like most tall girls are not interested in guys shorter than them. It's been my experience. And I know I hear a lot of tall girls say like, oh, no guy shorter than me would want to date me. But in my

experience, personal experience, tall girls have always made it known very quickly like, oh, I only want to date someone my height or tall. It doesn't bother me. And I don't think it should bother people. But you like what you like. So I think Joe Jonas and Zayn are like leading the charge

for the short kings. I think it's becoming more normalized. Yeah. I think it's great. Danny DeVito walked so that they could run. Okay, last question.

This is the most important question of the bros like we. Carl Sella asked, what are boys thinking, bro? What are boys thinking, what are boys thinking bro dude women in my head is just any is just the Animal Crossing theme yeah

beep boop boop beep boop boop beep boop beep boop beep boop beep boop we don't have to cut that out right no is kk slider gonna sue us uh your your uh your video's been claimed by kk slider yeah well that'd be pretty dope okay anyway uh what boy's thinking bro i mean what this what this boy's been thinking recently is that um maybe i've lost my mind a little bit because I downloaded a video game.

It is a... It's so funny that I'm wearing like a Michelin hat right now. I downloaded a game that is a off-road trucking game where you like pick up like trailers and take them to their destination. You're talking about Death Stranding. Yes. Much worse. like pick up like trailers and take them to their destination. And like, you pick up supplies. You're talking about Death Stranding. Yes. Nope. Much worse.

It is, it is a like off-road simulator type game. So there's like, maybe it's a muddy road and you might get stuck and you might have to like put your truck into low gear and like lock the differential and use a winch to get out. i don't think there's anything wrong with that that sounds fine we're very different people it's just very yeah it's just very like i realize how boring it really is but it's kind of like a puzzle game that's okay

like there's always going to be games that are or even like any kind of form of media that connects to you and then other people are like, why would you do that? Like, yeah. Yeah. Some people are into like really cool stuff, you know? Yeah. Some people are like into like lame,

dumb stuff. I agree. Ice road trucker, the free mobile game or whatever. It basically is ice simulator. It basically is ice road truckers. And the weird part is like the loading screen, you know how like loading screens sometimes have like funny facts and hints.

This one has some like weird, like truck lobby stuff where they're like, it's expected that the trucking industry will increase by 20% by 2030. And like truckers pay X amount of taxes, but only contribute to this amount of people on the roadway. And it's like stuff that's just very pro-trucker.

I mean, that makes sense. I would imagine it would be, though. You're not going to play a Call of Duty game and have the loading screen be like, the military industrial complex. Flip it, blows. And you're like, no, it's going to... There was one that was like,

women only account for 3 percent of truckers but some studies may or they're like but they're just as good at their job and some may uh some studies may show that they're safer what what are you trying to convince us like it's like okay man they can do the same job women can can also do a job, guys. What? This is how progressive we are as truckers. Women can do our job. But the only woman you can play as in the game has the lowest stats on purpose.

They made her the worst driver. We call her Bad Diane. It's like, wait, you just said that women are good truck drivers, but in the game, you have it designed against them. Sorry, so what are you boys thinking real quick sorry i know i took i took away too much time uh man i don't know it just milk just sloshes back and forth just sloshy milk um sort of like a like a like a cartoon dog that's walking like you know like a classic mickey mouse style where his legs are

normal but the body's like bouncing up and down. It's like, and he's just sort of like on a walk cycle. It's in black and white. And there's just like, you know, an angry dude, like coming out of the window. Damn it, Damien,

that just made me realize you have a sketch that you didn't talk about in your sketches you've never made. The guy who sued Drake. Oh my God. We'll save it for the next time we don't, because it's one of my favorite sketches ever.

Yeah, let's save that. Oh man. Also, I just want to say the game is called, I think it's called Snow Runners, and it's co-op. So if you guys want to get the game and come trucking with me. No.

And come help pull. Oh man, no. Yeah, you can come winch me out of a out of a uh a hole um i'd appreciate that ah all right so let's move on to the shoot yeah let's move on let's move on to our shoot dude shoot dude shoot dude shoot dude shoot dude shoot dude shoot dude shoot dude shoot dude. Shoot, dude. Shoot, shoot, shoot. Shoot, dude. Shoot, dude. Shoot, shoot, dude. Boop, boop, boop.

Okay. Jojo. Okay. Damien and Shane are doing weird Jojo poses. All right. This one says, hi, my name is Zach, and this happened to me a long time ago. When I was like 11 years old, I went to my lifelong best friend's house. Let's call him Danny.

And we are playing soccer and he stepped inside to get us some drinks. While he was inside, I was sitting on the grass in his garden and I heard a crawling noise near me. I am a huge arachnophobic, which is somebody that's scared of spiders. And when I turned around, there was a huge spider next to me i stood up and straight up punted the spider into the flowers of the garden and didn't tell danny about it when he came back then a few days later at school i noticed danny looked upset at lunch oh shoot i already i already see what's coming i asked him what was, and he said that he had lost his new pet tarantula, Timmy, the other day. I never told Danny the truth about what happened for years

until his wedding during my best man speech. He found it very funny. Whew. That's... I don't know. That's a controversial shoot, dude, because he wasn't in the wrong. He didn't know his buddy had a pet tarantula.

But also, something suspect that he punted. I don't think it's true. He punted a, if you see a tarantula, and you, if you just see one, and then you don't tell anyone, why would you not, why would you not tell anyone immediately after? I feel like all the shoot dudes I've been on recently,

and now I know I can say this, have been complete fabrications, and I don't believe this one either. I don't think it's a fabrication. So you're telling me, as someone who is an arachnophobic, seeing a tiny spider would probably freak you out. So seeing a whole ass tarantula

after hearing a crawling noise, whatever that is, you decide to contact it by kicking it. If you were an arachnophobic, you would scream and run away, not be like, time to get rid of this big boy. Kick it into some bushes.

We're also talking fight or flight. But there's so many weird things to this. Also, he's, all right, look, he's 11 years old. But your friend already lost the spider at that point. But he wasn't sad then. He was sad several days later when he's like, yeah, I lost my spider.

You lost your spider that day. And you didn't mention it to your friend of, hey, my spider's missing from its thing. A tarantula might be in my home right now. But also they were saying they were sitting on the grass in the garden. So the tarantula already escaped its container and his home and walked from the house to the direction of the garden no other area and he happened to be there i'm not believing this dude maybe the spider was

just going for a stroll you know little little garden stroll i mean if you're 11 years old you're not you're not explaining everything you don't you don't like you don't have like a i'm thinking civilized conversation i'm thinking there's elements here. I think he already knew that the spider was his friend's and was, I think he reacted too quickly and killed the spider or kicked it and was like, shoot, that was my friend's spider that I just, like, because it's,

what's weird is that his friend already was missing the spider and didn't tell him. And then also kicking a tarantula and not, and just be like, I'm going to keep this a secret. Why would you well why would you keep it yeah your friend comes back and you're not like dude huge spider dude there's a tarantula in your backyard you know what what probably happened he knew what the trend he knew about the tarantula he stepped on it out of fear crushed it and then kicked it into the garden to hide it i'm thinking i'm thinking yeah i'm thinking he like knew it was his friend spider when he kicked it into the garden to hide it. I'm thinking yeah, I'm thinking he knew it was his friend spider when he

kicked it. I think he reacted out of reflex and kicked it. I don't think he did it on purpose. But I think he acted out of reflex and was like, crap, that was my friend's pet. If there's any truth to this, I think he flailed his foot and could have crushed the spider. But it's a pretty active move to be sitting in the garden and

kick a spider with enough heft under it to just yeet it into the bushes. Like, where are the bushes? Like, we're literally talking about getting some lift and air on that spider and arcing it down into a different part of the garden. It's a pretty specific story. It's not a lie. He could have done more like a soccer kick, you know, from a seated position. No, he said he stood. He said, so I stood up and straight up punted the spider.

So he sprung up and went, ah, and then kicked it. I mean, he's 11 years old. What do you do when you're 11? You freak out about something. I feel like I would just run. I would just get away from it. Kicking it gives it the opportunity to get latched onto my foot. That's what I'm saying.

You don't want to touch it if you're an arachnophobic. Yeah. I have been in a situation, and I'm not even an arachnophobic uh i remember being at recess one day and sitting in like a pile of wood chips and just reading and i was maybe nine or ten years old but there was a spider at least the size of the back of my hand smaller hands then i'm a child but like the size of the back of my hand and i went whoa and i like quickly got up and like brushed off and just ran. I wasn't like, time to smash this thing because I'm arachnophobic.

It's... The fight or flight thing, I get him kicking it. I get it's him not telling his friend, not telling anyone. And then also his friend only being sad

a couple days later that his spider that was already missing is missing then. I think it's suspect. I think there's elements missing or twisted or whatever. Yeah, so what I think,

I think what happened was it probably got out that day. He didn't tell him because maybe he didn't know at that time. And I think he killed the spider and hid the evidence. I think he knew

it was his friend's spider. I think he killed it and hid the evidence and didn't tell him because he didn't want to feel guilty for killing his friend's spider. I think Carol Baskin killed her husband.

Yeah, and i think epstein didn't kill himself that's true i i think it qualifies as a shoot dude any version that we just said still qualifies as a shoot dude killing your friend's pet counts as a shoot dude that's definitely i mean look i i think there's some kernel of truth to this i think there's just elements he's twisting because i don't think he he wants his friend i think he's some kernel of truth to this. I think there's just elements he's twisting because I don't think he wants his friend. I think he's still guilty. I don't think he wants his friend to listen to this and go, oh, you knew that was my spider and you killed it.

Because right now there's still the element of the spider got away and lived a happy life. It's like, I don't know. No, no, I think he killed it. Maybe he buried it. Maybe he, yeah, maybe he pulled a Carol Baskin. Maybe he's haunted by spider ghosts. Yeah.

Well, then I will allow you two to both have shoot dudes. I will have a skeptic Samuel over here. Skeptic Samuel. All right. Skeptic Samuel. Well, that's it. So send your shoot dudes to shootdude, that's D-O-O-D, at smosh.com. Send them over and tell them truthfully.

Or I will call you out. Because we could suss it out. I don't think I've had a shoot dude yet that I believed. All right, well, that's it. Thank you. I'm going to go back to trucking. I got some pallets of wood that I need to deliver to a farm. You got to deliver that wood, my dude.

Got to do it. Yeah. Don't forget. Make sure to rate us five stars. Five stars. Rate five stars. Sorry, that might have been. Good, good, Ian.
