Shayne finally got to wear his shirt
What…that’s clearly Ian wearing one of his three shirts
I just noticed his crocs haha😅
Chumbawumba's #1 fan was his secret santa and gave him permission to wear the shirt
@@nick.i.t.7973 I know right? That's totally Ian's shirt!
It’s giving Christmas in FL
My dad is a Telecommunications professor and he would always explain me and my sisters RAM vs storage as "The storage is like your bookshelves, you can have as many files as they fit in your bookshelves. And then the RAM is like your table, the size of the table determines how many documents and books you can open at the same time" 😊
That's such a great and simple explanation!
Long story short, in this day and age 8GB RAM is barely going to run Windows 10. Demand of new applications is only growing. If he work in graphic department 32 or even 64 GB is the way to go. That's by how much she missed the mark. Size of it is also only part of the story because you have to consider its clock speed and latency as well. You can buy 64 GB RAM that is slow and crappy. But current laptops for $1300 are definitely capable, so I'm not sure what laptop that was. Maybe that story is several years old. Tip: don't buy tech for people who know tech better than you. Just don't.
@@maczetamaczeta189 lmao what, tell that to my laptop w 8gb of ram running windows 11, blender, mmorpgs and full AAA games without an issue
Blender is highly optimized for that until you do heavier work or full character pipelines. I work in unreal and do animation. 8 is not enough for me. But depends on the work. Yes most games can be ran on 8 only but it's hurting your cpu. Making it overwork to compensate as it is the brain of your PC and the more ram, the more caching. This is just my work environment and I'm on my PC constantly. I run on 16 but I do need double soon @@faeb.9618
oh
Courtney's "real bike, realize, real eyes" comment went so under the radar and it was solid gold. I hear you girl 👏💅
Naw fr it was incredible 😭😭😭
That right there was certified meta gold lmao
IT WAS THE GREATEDT YHING EVER I GOT A YAYYOO
It's a lot harder to return a laptop that you have opened, signed into, and used because she wanted you to "give it a chance" than it is to just take the unopened product to the store for an even exchange.
Seriously! And it’s not like he doesn’t know what he needs! It’s like if he needed purple paint & she bought him blue. Him “just trying” the blue won’t make it the right color. Why waste the time/potentially make the item un-returnable?
So Amanda is in a full sweater and Shayne is wearing shorts and a half sleeve shirt, WHAT THE FUCK IS THE WEATHER?! IS IT COLD IS IT HOT?! we’ll never know
and Courtney with a sweater AND JACKET! IS SHAYNE JUST IMMUNE TO THE COLD?
Shayne is just built different. (He probably wore those to f with Ian though)
Dudes will wear shorts no matter the weather, I thought everybody knew that
@@KingOfGaymes Yeah, I went to college with a guy who'd be out walking around in the snow in a t-shirt, shorts, and flip flops. 🤣
Amanda was told to wear a sweater and not turn up the heat
I’m sorry but Shane actually getting angry about something is so funny because he just turns into Spencer.
oh god
Timestamp? 👉👈
Time stamp?
56:20 Shane gets pissed
Bruh, literally laughed out loud at this. 😂😂😂 I mean, they are The Chosen.
I'm convinced Iceberg guy has an actual iceberg in his house and that's why he doesn't want to raise the temp up because it'll melt.
😂😂😂
Underrated comment XD
I personally think the iceberg guy is grinchy but not really a grinch, because even if i ever make 6 figures I would all ways lean to thinks on the cheaper side cause that's how I was raised, but to be frank this guy and his wife do not love each other cause it could be a bitchy wife/mother situation(goes both ways).
Sure but he's doing like all these different things to supposedly try to fix the house being cold issue, these things which also cost money most likely more than just raising the temp by a few degrees@@serenthemuse2333
@@serenthemuse2333i feel like its being overlooked.... she has an income but contributes nothing?
I love when people are like “you can say merry Christmas… I’m not one of those” firstly I have worked in almost every baseline imaginable job from retail to hospitality to medical care. Saying “happy holidays” is not me refusing to say merry Christmas. It is me simply saying “happy holidays” in term to ‘I hope your Christmas and new years are HAPPY and whatever other holidays you might celebrate’ considering I will not see you for all of them. I have always hated when people try to correct me into saying merry Christmas
Shayne getting aggressive with the “American christian” is the realest thing I’ve ever seen in my LIFE. It’s me at work constantly
Dude, as someone from Arizona as well, he is 100% correct about how people act. This is the state. I'm sure there are some self important people everywhere, but the "American Christian", center of the world mindset is just unbelievably present here.
@tenassidy3483 I'm from a different state that begins with Ar and sometimes it feels like these people want to be oppressed. Obviously that probably isn't the case but they're constantly looking for any small story where they can spin the outcome to make it look like Christians are being persecuted
Karen of the Bells
American and Christian don't have to be personality defining traits. But these kind of people feel like those two words make them more valuable and righteous than any other. It's just gross.
Yeah, I grew up Christian by choice, because my dad is atheist and my mom is agnostic, but they encouraged me to follow whatever belief system I chose. I really really love the gospel and all the things taught in the New Testament, especially the parables of Jesus, so I started going to youth groups and Bible study stuff, and eventually just attending regular church services. I live in the Bible Belt, where there’s a TON of Christians, but *so* many of them are completely hypocritical and spew hatred and bigotry that goes against everything Jesus taught!!! It drove me away from church, and religiousness in general. I’m still very spiritual, but my beliefs have changed quite a bit. One thing I’ll always hold onto is the true beauty that can be found in the New Testament. Jesus was an incredible man, and do I believe he was the messiah? Sure. Why not. I believe in many things. I believe in some form of reincarnation, and I follow a lot of more science led ideas, such as the first law of thermodynamics. All energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred. So I fully believe our being/consciousness/soul, whatever you wanna call it, has to go somewhere. I also really like certain Wiccan and pagan ideas, the light and positive ones about being in tune with nature and spirit.
I just got so fed up with people who claimed to follow Christ, but did and said so many things that completely opposed that. Christianity is a beautiful religion, that has been so badly defiled and given a bad image these days, by people who don’t actually seem to follow their own beliefs. It’s maddening!
I still read scriptures and Bible study stuff every now and then because it genuinely makes me feel at peace and improves my mental state. ❤
As a Christian who also gets very fired up about the hypocrisy and entitlement in modern American churches, I _love_ Shayne’s passion about this. Go off, my guy!!
I had to stop going and questioned my own faith for ~10 years because of how bad both the churches were I was going to in regards to 'sanctity'. It just felt like the faith was a front in an effort to extort me, on top of how shady and hypocritical the pastors/fellow staff members were. Found my own path to walk a few months ago keeping what I feel is in light of my faith now, and feel so much better about both myself and my faith
@muyleche9820 Same. Sorry, this is long, lol. In middle school and high school I was super active in youth group, to the point where I was planning on going to college to be a youth minister and for a few years would travel to different churches and preach the lesson to fill in for when their preacher wanted a break. My senior year of high school I started seeing all the BS that goes on behind the scenes at the church i grew up in, kinda like how a deacon told a kid (who chose to come to youth group by himself as his family were atheist and financially poor) that he needed to not come to church until he got nicer clothes; but I chalked it up to being what happens at small churches. After high school I got hired as a youth minister at another church and it was so much worse. I got zero support from parents of the kids in my class and zero help from the elders/people who ran the church.
It made me question myself so I ended up deciding to go to college for family and marriage psychology instead (actual psychology, not the church counselor type) and got a scholarship to a college out of state. I tried to have a meeting with the elders to inform them I would be leaving and give them an honest opinion of why I was going, I tried for months and never could get them to meet with me as they kept pushing it off. I eventually just told the ONE guy who was actually trying to also help the kids, left a letter of resignation in the preacher's and associate pastor's offices, then just never went back.
I tried multiple churches in the new city, but any tike they found out I could teach it's like they wouldn't stop trying to pawn responsibilities off on me, despite constantly telling people I had zero interest and needed to work on myself before teaching anyone.
To top it off, a couple years later, I'm dating my now wife. Her grandfather and 3 uncles on her dad's side are preachers. All of them constantly talk about how much money their congregations pull in whenever we meet up for holidays and nothing else. Then her dad, who believed but wasn't a church goer, has a massive stroke and is in a coma for 7 days. The entire 7 days the doctors are telling the family that it's an extremely slim chance that he wakes up and should start making preparations. The dad's entire side of the family kept telling her mom and the kids, "don't worry about it. We all have faith that God's going to pull him through so He will! We just have to stay positive and keep praying" and had the mom and kids pretty much convinced that he was going to make a full recovery.
I was gentle at first and kept saying that yes there's a chance and He can if He chooses, but praying for the best and preparing for the worst doesn't mean you lack faith and that we don't control God like that to where we can tell Him what to do. I was eventually able to get my now wife, and her youngest brother, to at least make peace with what happens if he dies so it wouldn't hit them like a truck when/if it happened. Sure enough, he died and her mom and other siblings were devastated. Of course it's going to be devastating to lose your husband/father unexpectedly, but they were so convinced due to the "preachers" that he would make it through that it was so much worse.
Ever since I just walk my own path. I still mostly believe/have my own faith, but I don't tolerate those type of "christians" anymore. It's amazing how so many say they live by the motto of "live like Christ did" and yet they're so unforgiving and hateful.
That woman was prob. one of the church gossips.
Agreed I loved his anger. Very appropriate.
I left the church when I was 14. It was such a relief to not have to worry about all that stuff.
I once gave my friend a rock as a joke birthday gift but she was more excited about that than the real present I gave her. If you asked her now, she could not tell you what I actually gave her aside from the rock 😭
1000000%
I can tell you every rock friends have given me! Who gave it to me, if it was for a random gift or a holiday, and who we were with (if anyone else) when I got it.
Regular gifts?!
I genuinely can't remember what I just got other than 3 things. BUT the best friend got me a big ass amethyst set with stands, and I tear up a bit every time I look at them before bed.
Started as a joke as kids, and now we're giving each other's kids cool rocks we find as well.
Sappy moment: your best friends are the ones who call you on your worst and best days, call you OUT on your stupid or delusional days (they/you call out lovingly; as truth without tact is cruelty), and celebrate your wins EVEN IF they are not having any.
Apologize to your friends, even when it feels stupid, even if it feels it's been too long, regardless of x y and z, apologize!
Be the bigger person, so your own mental health can reach a happy place.
The less "oh shit, go away" thoughts your brain has to pick from, the quicker you'll fall asleep 😆
Just like you're going to fuck up a bunch over stupid things, and probably a couple big things (over a lifetime of friendship) friends aren't perfect either. Give them grace and accept their apologies.
You don't have to hop back to where y'all were, you don't even have to be as close.
But forgive friends when they apologize and sincerely make an effort. You need friends to get through life.
None of us are going to make it out alive 😉
@B.Harper7 I really appreciate your thoughtful commentary, and especially liked what you said about calling out your friends lovingly because "truth without tact is cruelty".
Thank you!
My friends once kept hyping me up for my b-day present and arrived at my house with a massive package. When I opened it, it was just a lollipop inside. They all gave me actual gifts later, but mind you, I only remember the lollipop😂😂
I painted a rock as a teen with L from Deathnote on it in pastels. Gave that rock to my sibling over 11 years ago. They still have it.
My boyfriend is obsessed with rocks lol, I've given him so many. ❤ Rocks are the best.
Got my, at the time, 3 year old daughter a potato for Christmas one year because she just really loves potatoes. When she opened the gift she got really excited and said "Yay, and I can eat it however I want?" She had baked potato for Christmas lol
That is adorable.
"you are not even a christian, you are american christian" That is so well said.
Happy holidays though seems kinda cringe to me like reddit atheist.
@@DemosthenesKarI mean, it does seem weird...that said, the way this woman is talking, I kinda wonder if she was being horrendous the entire time and the waiter said "Happy Holidays" just to make her mad.
@@DemosthenesKar It's very normal in the US apparently.
@@DemosthenesKarwhat's wrong with atheism? they just prefer facts and evidence. something most of the world should look into
their still Christian right?
Amanda & Courtney: cozy by the fireside
Shayne: at Margaritaville
"RAM, Disk, Salsa, Yes"
Amazing reply, 10/10 😂
The fact that Shayne & Courtney were ENGAGED when this was filmed just adds more layers to it.
That first story: The guy isn't an asshole for wanting to take a friend to a party. That is simply different values. What would make him an asshole is if the partner established that boundary and they chose not to respect it.
I agree but also like shayne said, that friend won't go anywhere. Its more like this situation is a sign of a lot of rough interactions along the line.
The difference in values need to be communicated and worked on
Its moreso toxic professional workplace culture that is so tight, judgemental and anti-casual. Its not the guys fault for being a cool dude but I cant blame the partner for feeling uncomfortable because of the toxicity that can make them feel anxious and consious about how they see them. Its just boundaries.
it's so weird to me that this is somehow confusing?
Definitely NTA for asking. Would be YTA if he decided to take his friend after his girlfriend said she would feel uncomfortable. I would explain to my friend my girlfriends feelings and maybe even have a sit down chat with both of them together as obviously there is a bit of jealousy going on with that girlfriend.
eh, depends. IMO If it mattered a lot to his friend or he feels like their relationship takes precedence or if it makes him feel like his partner doesn’t trust him and that makes him uncomfortable, he wouldn’t be the AH for taking her- he would be the AH if he lied, if he told his gf it was crazy she felt that way, etc etc. (and she would be the AH if she doubled down and told him it was crazy HE wanted to do that, if she lied - somehow, in this situation?- etc etc). Boundaries like that (idk if I would call that a boundary but yk) are for negotiating, in that case “respecting” it means “I respect you feel that way and I respect YOU and I’m not going to condescend or minimize your feelings”, not following it just bc they said so, regardless of your own values.
Amanda's firm defensive of Jim Carreys grinch already made this episode amazing
I had just started rewatching that movie and my husband walked in, asking what the movie was and realizing it was “the weird one” 🫠😂. It’s even funnier as an adult!
it's an AMAZING movie!!!!
Jim Carrey went through absolute HELL to give us that movie so Amanda should totally defend it
@@friendlyneigborhoodbeandude went through literal torture training to give us that movie performance and he deserves all the praise
@@KingOfGaymes dude was also instrumental in spreading the falsified study that vaccines cause autism, so I'll hold off on any praise
Sweater story: Keep in mind that she's washing dishes, cleaning the place, giving the kids baths, etc, and he expects her to wear a sweater or be cold for *all* of that.
... pressing buttons in the dishwasher is not that complicated.
@@mariagabrielamolina4898 tbf, not everyone trusts/uses their dishwasher. And even if she is, most people rinse their dishes beforehand in warm/hot water. With the bath (which I also assume isn’t cold) and the rest of cleaning, even if she didn’t get warm, I wouldn’t fault her for not wanting to get her sleeves wet
it makes sense. but the math aint mathing. buying dyson for 1k might be much (unless it is very necessary). but honestly how expensive it is to keep the house warm? is it a mansion?
@@mariagabrielamolina4898 how many times have you done the dishes? There's more work to it than pressing buttons even if you have a dishwasher, and if you've ever done that chore you should really know that 😅
@@mariagabrielamolina4898 Found the rich kid/ spoiled brat who's parents do all the chores.
Shayne's reaction to the Karen story is EVERYTHING. i've worked retail/customer service for nearly 10 years and in that time i feel like i've seen just about everything, and the Karens like this never stop being simultaneously mind blowing, and honestly at times flat out fucking amusing 💀
Amanda’s obsession with Grinch physique is my new favourite thing
All I can think of is the reddit post about the woman with an extreme Grinch fetish😂
She's bodyshaming him fr 😭
I think Amanda has the same amount of like chaotic energy as him 😂
Total dad bod
Tbh he had comically bouncy belly
Shayne getting so fired up was great. That's the kind of underlying anger you only get through lived experience with people like that.
It's so rare to see him get visibly irritated at other people but when we do, it goes to show what a good guy he tries to be. Many other people's touchy points or "rage moments" are totally unhinged. Even when Shayne didn't yet reign it in, his irritation was expressed in such a healthy way.
As someone who grew up in Texas, I feel the same way. I'm just a little older and have gotten more resigned and cynical about it lol.
Imagine being a person of color of a different religion growing up in places like Shayne did..
the christmas eve lady- even said the restaurant was SO BUSY !!! like your waiter doesn’t have time to chit chat with you about how much you love christmas
Mhm, and since THEY wanted to chit chat, it's up to THEM to start that conversation. Like, even if the person you're talking to was an autistic Christian with a hyperfixation on Easter... they might just not be in the mood to talk with a stranger and a customer.
It's far from basic hospitality and beyond need for making someone feel welcomed to engage in idle chatter with them.
Like, even ignoring the religious aspect for a second, forcing your waiter to have a conversation with you is rude, and assuming they are an asshole for NOT doing that is crazy
The Christmas Karen is so funny to me. Does she expect the staff to be like "wow, that's so wonderful for you specifically!" as if it's not also Christmas to everyone else in the room? Is this the family from 7th Heaven?
Imagine having to work on Christmas Eve and some asshole comes by with their family and tries to preach to you about how great their family tradition that they’re not even unique in is
shayne’s performance of an angry christian woman deserves an emmy 👏
Webby > emmy due to Smosh changing the game. Have you seen the roast of Anthony? Amanda. Amazing. Shayne. Amazing. Courtney. Amazing. Well worth the investment. Not to mention Angela and Chanse.
90% of the people in that restaurant were celebrating Christmas Eve, and 90% of the staff was missing out on Christmas Eve. That Karen wanted to think that she was more special than everyone else.
She’s the kind of person to go somewhere for a last minute can of green beans on a national holiday and remark to the cashier “I can’t believe they’re making you work today!!” like SHE isn’t the reason they’re there 🥴
I actually have said "Happy Chanukah" in response to someone telling me "Merry Christmas." The reason being was because it was a week before Christmas, but it actually was like the third day of Chanukah at the time.
She was... Perturbed. Definitely did not appreciate the well wishes, but I also didn't give her a chance to say anything because I had purchased something from her at a holiday bazaar, so I just left. I imagine if I hadn't, I would've been treated quite like the waiter.
…Chanukah? You mean Hanukkah?
@@itsyahomiescott3742 Looked it up and Chanukah is the weird alternate transliteration to English, apparently.
@@LordVader1094 Cool.
The potato one was so wholesome 😅 reminds me of my nephew. For his 5th birthday, he got tons of presents, but he only played with the birthday balloon all day😅 and he's 8 now and balloons still bring him so much joy. He always ask me what I want and tries to gift me something everytime I visit. He never wants anything for himself. Children can be so precious❤
amanda trying to explain RAM gives the same exact energy as angela trying to explain electricity on tommys show
Omg, I watched that episode! XD Another immediate classic!
"Fire, the flicker of a flame"
I have 8gb ram and only thing i used my laptop is organising photos for albums and watching anime
Well to be fair to angela, RAM is much easier to understand and explain than electricity
I will forever respect Amanda for jumping in with the best definition of RAM she could muster, even if that definition changed throughout the explanation multiple times
Amanda looking at shayne after Courtney said she likes the grinch hits different now lol
Not even sure if Shayne wants kids, but hearing his take on how this was the perfect opportunity for the spoiled 7 year old to learn about other cultures, made me wish there were more parents like him in the world that would educate their own kids ❤
As a Christian, that story about the selfish American Christian makes me so mad. Shayne nailed it that there's a difference between religious Christians and American Christians. I cannot imagine the entitlement to go through life like that woman apparently does.
Agreed and it’s entitled Christians that give Christianity a bad reputation I always say that I don’t associate myself with those entitled and radical Christians
AMEN. I don’t know how people don’t feel convicted about that sort of thing. It’s frustrating and heartbreaking, especially seeing the impact it has on others, who end up turning away from God.
Agreed! What happened to spreading God’s love? 😔
As soon as the waiter said “Happy Holidays”, I knew it was gonna be an issue. I work with conservative Christian women who dislike the term, as if acknowledging the existence of other holidays during that time is absurd…
@@FroAlchemist Should tell her that Christmas began as a Pagan thing and has nothing to do with Christianity until they stole it lol That should get her fired up.
Shayne is fully embracing his Dad energy with this style and I think theres something super hot about that.
You’re so right
Can't wait to see this on the next TH-cam comments Smosh pit theatre
not even gonna lie, i was thinking the exact same thing lol
Fr. Shayne is just the ideal man or dad
Lol
50:15 Amanda's mocking has now another meaning after the wedding reveal 😂
when i was a young catholic boy i just thought "happy holidays" was an easier way of saying "merry christmas and happy new year"
I think the restaurant Karen might be my favorite Reddit story yet. Idk if it’s because of the way Shayne read it, because of how dramatic the writing was for such a mundane interaction, or because of the fact that all the drama was completely one-sided and no one except the woman ever knew there was a confrontation happening. It’s just so beautiful
it's so ridiculous, bizarre my vocab vanish to wrap this story around my head
you're right, it's ripe for the picking straight into a comedy sketch
With the way Amanda was going, I’m surprised they didn’t do the ‘I’m sexually attracted to the Grinch’ Reddit story
ghostwritten by Courtney perhaps?
yo i was thinking the same thing
I'm sorry wtf??????
I swear you find out about the weirdest stories in comments 😳 😄
As a Christian, that lady aggravated me sooo much..if your religion, in general, is about spreading love and accepting people's free will, which is literally God's main thing, one does not act like that towards other people, especially people serving you... especially on a HOLIDAY..a pagan holiday too at that, if she really wants to get super technical lol
I love the “potato” story because when my daughter was a baby, maybe close to a year old, she was just crawling and couldn’t stand up by herself yet, she used to reach for potatoes that I kept in a basket almost floor level, she grab the potato throw it through the floor and crawl to got it back and throw it again! She could play with that potato for hours! So a friend suggested that she may like a “Mr Potato Head” and I thought it was an amazing idea, so we got her the “Mr Potato head” put on the eyes, nose, hat, everything! And give it to her, she didn’t care about it… but when I took off all this and give her just the potato, I can’t tell you how much she loved this gift! And because it was plastic this thing got farther! So this helps her with starting to walk🥰 now she’s 15 y.o. and potatoes are her favorite food, there’s not potato that can go far away fast enough from her 😅
I love how this is the Christmas episode but Shayne couldn’t have looked more like a guy chilling on the beach with a piña colada….
in my country from december to march its Summer, so i appreciated he was dressed like us for a change. Amanda has the winter vibes and Shayne the summer vibes with their outfits and Courtney is like half and half. So thers a little for everyone and i loved that
They are in Cali so it's an option.
kinda unrelated, but i love how they were talking about how cold it can get, and then there's shayne. just chilling in his shorts and t-shirt lol
That’s just another way to spend Christmas in so cal 😂
It’s very on brand for him tbh 😂
I see Shayne is allowed to wear Ian's shirt now.
The Boxcar Children!! That was my book series when I was younger and no one else seems to remember it. I love you said that. Funny thing is I live in an RV now, so guess it makes sense it was my favorite book series.
17:46 - When it comes to RAM, I love the analogy of a kitchen.
RAM is like your refrigerator, contains food and ingredients you can quickly access.
Storage is like a deep freezer you have in your garage, it can usually hold more for longer, but it takes time to access it and make it useable.
57:52 “you’re not even religious Christian, you are American Christian.” FACTS
The whiplash of going from a kid who got mad by the idea of other kids getting gifts to a child who was so happy she cried about a potato is wild.
Idaho French fries yes
Amanda: "listening to this guy talking is like watching paint dry"
Me: *currently painting my bedroom walls* idk- think this is more fun than that guy
The one time my comp sci degree has come in handy! RAM is like, the short-term subconscious of your computer. It’s quickly accessed storage used to run stuff on your computer. A comparison would be like, a desk. Where you have open a book you’re reading, a planner, some doodles, a copy of the story you’re writing, etc. It’s not in permanent storage, like on a shelf or filing cabinet, but it is where the activities are being stored while you’re using them, and allows you to use them! A smaller desk means less projects you can keep open & use at one time.
Amanda trying to explain what RAM is was like Angela explaining electricity, I love that IT guy Tim flamed her in real time
I'm a former PC technician. I have to agree with the boyfriend that 8GB is not something that is really sufficient enough to do any kind of work on unless you just use word processing only. I wonder why he didn't try to see if he could at least upgrade the RAM, unless it was a Mac or something.
Bumped up all devices still in lease to 16GB when Office 365 came out. 😅
@@Gumbier_Than My guess is that it would be a Mac because of the price range. The only way a laptop with only 8 gigs of ram would cost 1300 dollars was if it was trendy and had name recognition. I think my $200 Chromebook has more RAM than that holy shit
They said it was a Macbook Pro, so yes a garbage overpriced laptop 😂
@@Gumbier_ThanThey said in the story it was indeed a Mac
@@rogueparadox5447 I mean yeah, because RAM is a cheap was to "make number bigger". You can stuff 32 GB ram into a computer for pennies and then people will think they are getting $200 worth of performance.
How much ram your computer has says absolutely nothing about how fast it is. All "a lot of ram" means is "the computer is hitting disk less". Now, disk reads are slow. But if you don't fill the 8gb you'll never hit the disk and modern m2 disks are stupid fast so it will probably give you a temporary stutter.
If I gave you a computer with 32gb DDR2 RAM and a Pentium II CPU, and a computer with 8 GB DDR4 RAM and an M3 cpu, which would you think is faster?
So nice to see that the cast shares such a nice bond ... i mean c'mon it's so sweet that Ian lent his shirt to Shayne for this episode !
the worlds biggest chumbuwumba fan?
@@lethargicbobhopedon’t you mean cumbuwumba
Cumbawumba’s biggest fan…Cumbawumba’s biggest KING 👑
HAHAHAHA
LOL
The idea of a movie where retail workers going ballistic after Christmas. Courtney’s name idea holiday pay was so perfect 😂😂😂
Lmao Shayne getting worked up about the Christian Christmas brunch reminds me why I have an internet crush on him haha
In a weird way it was nice seeing Shayne getting all heated and talking from emotions rather than being sure to think accurately about what he wants to say first like he usually does. Courtney and amanda I think were the perfect guests for this episode. Overall probably my favorite one yet. Also f- like everyone they talked about besides potato girl.
I agree. I appreciate how conscious an effort Shane has made to not be overly critical or hostile to people’s beliefs or culture but it’s nice to see behind the curtain. Especially with videos like the Family Matters or Gay Rights and Gay Wrongs, he’s trying so hard to stay neutral and not trying to “win” or convince anyone.
I can’t believe no one talked about the dad with the spoiled kid telling his daughter she’s not her stepson’s “real mom” and she’s picking a kid she’s “not related to” over her brother. Personally tells me all I need to know about this man
It also made me think that he’s the reason this kid is having tantrums. He tells the kid no, the kid has a tantrum. He gets told no, he has a tantrum and goes off insulting his daughter😂
That jumped out at me too! She’s his stepmom, and given that his mom’s not around is essentially his mother. Yeah, I’ll prioritize my kids over my siblings any day.
Yes, came here looking for this comment! Unfortunate that they didn't mention that even once
that´s what I was thinking. Why are we not talking about THAT!!!!
Exactly!!!! I was thinking that.
The laptop one makes me wonder if he wanted her to exchange the laptop and pay for more expensive upgrades.
Honestly, it's also very possible he would have been looking at something around the same price or even cheaper than what Apple laptops were available.
I don't know what field he needed to work in, but there's a lot of really solid work laptops in the range of $800-$1200. Or there's also many cheaper laptops that have extra RAM ports on the motherboard that you can fill up for a pretty reasonable price. :)
@@DefectiveDictionary777 I can imagine him being in maybe something relating to game dev or visual stuff like editing or animation?
highly doubt it, macbooks are extremely overpriced when you compare them to editing laptops or gaming laptops of higher specifications and storage, if she had done even one google search she would've saved some money on the gift
these three are my new favourite smosh trio. They are just so funny together, couldn't stop smiling.
Amanda explaining RAM is like Angela explaining electricity
fire… uh… fire
Or where she was on 9.11
Like a flicker of a flame
Electric fire yes
Like Angela explaining anything. 😂
There's a comedian, I don't remember who, but he said his girlfriend of like maybe a month or two once said "I feel like you love Jean (his woman best friend) more than me" and he said something to the extent of (and I'm paraphrasing) "yes I do because she put in the groundwork in being my best friend. I don't love her romantically and the thought of either of us naked makes both of us cry. But I love her more because she's been with me through everything, and I barely know you" and I feel like that's relevant to the first story.
Edit: The comedian was Daniel Sloss!
Daniel sloss
People need to accept that your romantic partner is not the only strong bond in your life.
@@83gemm Exactly, and if your romantic partner insists that they can be the only meaningful type of bond you can have with someone, that's usually a red flag because that mindset can lead to abuse.
@@pastelkittykittyI feel like “usually” is an entirely unnecessary word there haha.
Fun story, I was doing the online dating thing in my early 20s and I came across a guy who wanted a girl to move in and basically be her only contact with the outside world, and I messaged him because I was so like “……..wait WHAT…?” And when I mentioned if we were in a relationship I would still be spending time with my parents and my brother, and I shit you not his response was “why would you want to hurt me like that?!” Like something is not right there 😮
Daniel Sloss is incredible
Shayne having slipper like shoes on gives even more dad energy than he already has reading Reddit stories, love these segments!!!
53:29 the way Shayne read this out 😂
the cheery "Okay" from the server in that story is 100% what a service person says in reply to a customer telling you info you don't care about. Some people overshare, and you don't want to encourage them to keep you in conversation while you're trying to work, so you just say okay politely and move on.
The entitled Christian woman in the restaurant was INSANE. I literally had to stop and relay the entire story to my cousin. We both agree she's the asshole. Also, Shayne's rendition of the story was GOLD. Good job, lovely.
I thought it was going to be he was insulting them that he was celebrating Christmas. He was polite, and some people don’t have a lot of reaction. What kind of reaction was she looking is what I want to know.
@@tvtvtfan3767she wanted him to whip out a cross, start singing silent night, and say merry Christmas while praying because only Christianity matters of course 👍
I swear I thought for a minute that post was a form of rage bait... like ... what!?!? WHAT AN ENTITLED PERSON.
These are the kind of Christians that made me leave the faith. They’re SO INSUFFERABLE
Don't worry, it's clearly fake.
41:45 me being Canadian, *googling every temperature they say from Fahrenheit to Celsius*
19:00 you guys are killing me with the RAM talk.😂
it is a disk. it is a software. it is an animal. it is a truck. it is ram
The potato story reminded me of our tradition:
When I was 5, we came downstairs, and to my dismay, the tree was empty. I cried out “SANTA DIDNT COME!” very upset.
Then my parents pointed out a note left on the tree - it was from The Grinch, informing us that he’d snuck in early that morning and HID all our presents around the house.
It became a yearly tradition, which completely backfired on my parents when my sister and I still insisted they keep it up while in our 20s 😂
It did finally stop when she moved out first haha
Omg, I love this 😆😆😆
Permission to adopt this tradition???
@@mycarisoutside please do! It always brought us a lot of joy and made great memories 🥰
its like combining easter and Christmas this is so amazing XD
I knew the Christmas eve brunch story was gonna be some BS as soon as OP said “I’m a Christian, it’s my truth” 💀 why did she feel the need to tell everyone she talked to in the restaurant how she celebrates Christmas eve, girl who cares 😭
And how does she think that's a unique thing, half the people there were probably doing the same.
Exactly!
not only is she an "A" but she is also a "K" ...for Karen!
I paused the video for 5 seconds to internally scream and grab popcorn because hoo boy
I've known some perfectly lovely people who could give that AH/K's first line...but from someone who's about to complain, it was definitely a red flag. I just had a similar interaction with a coworker who was just _horribly_ offended that anyone might not actively participate in her particular religion. Right up to the whole "Happy Holidays is offensive" pose. Complete with "I respect your religion by not demanding your removal as long as you actively affirm _my_ religion, and all I expect is that you bow to me an my supremacy" attitude with no sense of shame.
Courtney's: "plant the potato" and "her heart grew 8 gigs that day" !!!
So perfect, I think they made her the MVP, of at least the final leg of this vid.
"Mom! Grab the laundry, Shayne's stories are on!" Jokes aside, I generally do enjoy listening to this while I fold the laundry, it just makes it a little bit more fun...
i really love the manipulative use of the word “regifting” in the second story, because its just used wrong. regifting is taking a gift YOU recieved and giving it to someone else. she just straight up stole from her boyfriend man
@NoEllaEllaElla but she thought wrong! she bought him a new laptop specifically because his old one was very slow, she bought something expensive instead of putting in the work to buy what he NEEDED. she didn't actually put in a lot of thought, she put in a lot of money, that's different.
@NoEllaEllaEllathey aren’t saying to expect to return it. They are saying IF YOU NEED to return it.
SHE DIDNT STEAL FROM HIM SHE BOUGHT IT AND HE DIDNT WANT IT SO SHE GAVE IT TO SOMEONE WHO WOULD!
@NoEllaEllaEllaHe literally can’t use it though, she should’ve asked him or something. Doesn’t seem so thoughtful if she didn’t know what he needed 💀
@@_officialwatsonshe gifted it to him so it was his lol that’s how gifts work
As a Christian, I can confidently say the woman in the Christmas brunch story was, in fact, the "A-hole." 😂 Happy holidays!
How dare he do his job 😡
💯
Same! I'm super religious and I do not condone that attitude at all. Yikes
Seconding this!!! Makes me embarrassed to even talk about my faith. So glad I'm not the only one who thinks this!
Like Shane said, it's not Christian, its American Christian
This was a great episode. I liked the variety of stories and Courtney and Amanda are becoming my favorites. They're smart, relatable and somehow manage to deliver responses in a way that is both hilarious and thought-provoking. I was literally laughing out loud during the RAM dialogue.
When I was 14 all I wanted for Christmas was a big car bow. Yes, the one that they put on cars in Commercials. My dad looked everywhere and couldn't find one so he ended up trying to make one. I was so happy.
When you’re in someone’s home, don’t treat it like a hotel. Clean up after yourself. Don’t rearrange things. Be considerate and quiet. It’s ridiculous to expect childless people to have things like a diaper pail.
Even in a hotel, i usually ask the maids for an extra trash bag so they can just put it in their bin. I dont leave things perfect, but they only have to wipe things down and change the sheets. My friends and i always stay back and help each other clean before and after parties so it boggles my mind that people think this is okay
Yeah, do they truly have NO clue how to prepare for staying at friend's house??? They sound not just entitled, but DISGUSTING.
Why does Shayne look like he's on a tropical vacation in Hawaii, Courtney as if she's going to a cafe over Halloween time and Amanda full ready for Christmas
LA Winter Attire is wild
@@mariansingletary181You’re right, it’s definitely LA attire. Shorts, boots, sweaters, and flip flops,
The last one reminds me of how one of my favorite/most memorable gifts from my dad came the year before we went on a big trip to Italy, and as such we had a small Christmas since we were saving/planning to splurge the following summer. But to celebrate the cool upcoming trip/get me excited, he bought and gift-wrapped a loaf of Italian bread from a local grocery store 😂 i freaking loved it (who doesn't love carbs??), meanwhile my mom was confused as hell and thought it was mean at first. But I bit into that sucker like an animal lol, (cue my mom: "you're supposed to slice it and dip it in olive oil!", me: "But it's my loaf!") it was a good day. 😂
LOVING shayne's spicyness in this
Amanda attempting to explain RAM is like watching a car crash in slow motion.
Couldn’t be prouder of her. She just kept doubling down…
The duality of Courtney nailing it in a sentence and Amanda reaching and scrambling for descriptions of what a RAM is makes it even more entertaining
What if that waiter was told to say Happy Holidays by the boss? It might be THE policy of the restaurant. I’m Christian, but I return all holiday cheer. If someone told me Happy Hanukkah, I say Happy Hanukkah to you, too. I just want to spread cheer. I share Shayne’s frustration with this person and the like. He’s spot on!
I feel the same way. Sometimes I say Happy Holidays just because there's more than one. People are crazy about this stuff sometimes.
Agreed. And the waiter is not obligated to share his holiday plans with them. He was polite. I haven't worked in food service, but I have worked in retail, and I was ALWAYS getting handed pamphlets for churches, and told they were praying for me, (because I have visible tattoos). I never reacted how I wanted too, I just took the pamphlet, said thank you, and walked away.
I usually just say Happy Holidays because I might not see that person until after the New Year. There are so many holidays in that 2-3 week time span.
I agree. I would like to add a thought. Even within Christian tradition there are many different ways and days to celebrate Christmas. Not all of us give gifts on the same date. Not every culture has the same traditions. Happy Holidays is inclusive of all that. It is not a substitute meant to diminish Christmas.
It is not extra to say Christmas, they were kind of mocking them for being Christian which is common to rag on "the white Christian". She didn't have to bring it to reddit either.
the waiter one is sooo funny because where i work in customer service we HAVE to say “Happy Holidays” and wear little ribbons on our name tags that say it as well. So that was it DOESNT make anyone feel any type of way lmao 54:09
I was just gonna say that! The entire time Shayne read out that story all I could think about was the fact that the waiter was just using umbrella terms. By the way, saying Merry Christmas doesn’t work, I got yelled at by people when I said both but that lady was a lot
The whiplash i got when i see the gals on the couch looking cozy and warm then the camera pans over to Shayne in an outfit that screams retired grandpa in the tropics.
Also when she's talking about team and the camera zooms in on his face is🤌
Amanda's needs to add "that's just the tip of the iceberg" to her detective character's list of quips.
I can’t believe Chumbawamba’s number one fan let Shayne borrow his shirt! Best boss ever!
*cumbawumba
The best thing about this series are the callbacks they NEVER FAIL to include! Lot of em too!! But yeah this has to be one of my favorite episodes of all time
“You should have named him Dudley” got me dying 😂
I was listening to this episode with my better half, and when they got to the "more presents" bit she just went "Dudley Dursely!".
The waiter story where Shayne got fired up is ABSOLUTELY how I feel around my family, especially my mom. I didn't think I could love Shayne any more than I already did, but now I do. It's insane because it really feels like those kinds of people live in their own world and just say things without practicing them or thinking about what they hear EVERY SINGLE WEEK actually means. I say this as a practicing Catholic person, too. Keep speaking FACTS out here brother
Right there with you regarding family. My family sees scenarios like this as equal to discrimination, and it’s exhausting because they do not treat people the same way they expect to be treated.
@@JalapenoBizniz Exactly! We have a golden rule, follow it! And I don't know how that rule is 'supposed' to be interpreted, but I've seen it as "treat others how you want to be treated if you were in their situation, not just the way you want to be treated as the way you are". Basically just imagine yourself in their shoes; be empathetic. It sounds simple, but it's hard for way too many people...
Oh my God, the 2nd story (laptop one) made me feel like I was spiralling. My wife doesn't know much about computers, but about a year after we got together and my old laptop was barely running anymore she surprised me with a new one for Christmas. She didnt know about specs or what was good, but she researched and asked people at the store and it is still an amazing laptop. And if it wasnt one that worked for me she literally told me when she gave it to me that we could return it and get a different one if it wasnt what I needed. Like if you want to surprise your partner with a gift like that, you have to be prepared it might not be the right stuff, especially if you dont know much about the gift your getting, and be prepared to return it and get the right one. Or like Amanda mentioned, go pick it out with your partner and get it for them so they can get the one they need, unless you just really want the surprise aspect (which if you do, be prepared to return it and get the right one in case it's not it, just like you would with clothes being the wrong sizes)
Clothes being the wrong size was going to be my example of why you can tell by a number about the specs that it's not worth "giving it a chance and trying it" because numbers exist to describe things for a reason.
what i really want to know though is what kind of work is this guy doing that 8gb of ram isn't enough, i do heavy stuff on my laptop and the 8gb it has are doing just great
@@faeb.9618 he might do editing, art/animation, or programming is where my mind went. Doing editing and animation I use my desktop cause my laptop is more practical for basics, even though my laptop is decent it takes a lot of space for video editing and animation software, plus the files for those projects, and the project drafts/saves. Programming I don't personally have much experience with but also know it takes up a fair bit of space with software and projects. So I assume something in those catagories or similar ones might be what he does for work since they all need multiple programs, usually running at once, and saving regularly.
I have this conversation so many times on the sewing subreddit, with people who want to surprise someone with a new sewing machine. That kind of thing is SO PERSONAL.
@@faeb.9618 For professional applications 8gb is unusable. It's fine for everyday use most of the time but even a few too many tabs in a browser can fill up 8gb these days, it's not a lot. Apple shouldn't even have a SKU with 8gb in first place in 2023 (or 2022 in this story) but that's besides the point. In professional applications you generally need at a bare minimum 16gb of ram but 32+ is perfectly normal depending on what you are doing.
As soon as I heard "I'm a Christian" in the server story, I knew already that this server told them "happy holidays" 😂😂😂
It is absolutely insane that people read the first story and thought “yeah this guy is the asshole”. Assuming op didn’t leave out any crucial details, the way the story sounds on its own is completely fine in my mind. I’m not gonna lie, would I think it’s a little bit weird that she sort of invited herself to my work party? Yeah, but given the length of the friendship and assuming both parties have no real interest beyond their friendship as it exists, I don’t see why it would be such an issue. Who cares what people at work think?
I think if you found an issue with that story you have some things you should work out and definitely should not be dating anyone because you will suffocate whoever you’re dating until you’re both miserable.
I love how Amanda and Courtney are in their cute Christmas sweaters and festive outfits and then shayne is wearing shorts and a short sleeve button up shirt in the middle of december
They filmed it more than a month ago it was no where near winter😂
Shaynes outfit reminds me of the middle school boys dressing up in tshirts and short all the freaking time and I live in the Midwest
Did you see his shoes I’m so upset by them for some reason
He saw the opportunity to finally wear that shirt on camera and, dagnabbit, he took it!
@@johnplaysgames3120 I'm happy that he took it lol
amanda just repeatedly saying "RAM is.. software" is SOOOO funny because RAM is actually hardware, NOT software 😂😂😂 love yalls reaction to it!
Wha?
@JoaoPessoa86 RAM is a physical thing in computers, it's hardware! Software are things made by code and implemented into computers so a web browser like Google Chrome is a software!
51:01 when they said "I'm not a confrontational person", I thought that it was about them not usually confronting people who are disrespectful to them, such as the waiter in the headline.
The fact they made that remark to pleas for mercy towards themselves says it all.
all i wanted for my 12th birthday was a PVC pipe and some duct tape so i could make a cool staff as a craft. my parents got me cool duct tape and a cardboard tube because they learned PVC pipes would expose me to dangerous chemicals. they explained this to me and i was like Yes Of Course. and it's still one of the best gifts i've ever received.
Some adults forget that kids don’t have money so the only way to get stuff is gifts. Being gifted supplies is awesome because there’s no pressure to use them a certain way or waste something!
Also, everything is still new to kids. Potatoes aren’t cool to me anymore, but as a kid a potato could’ve been so many things! You don’t exactly have free access to potatoes, so even having one to destroy would be so fun.
The story of the dad telling his grown daughter not to celebrate Hanukkah with her husband and stepson... the fact he said to her that it was ONLY her stepson and not hers, how could she hurt her own brother. I'm sorry he doesn't need to be in her life anymore. He obviously isn't accepting of her new family. Let him raise his youngest to be a spoiled brat and see where that gets him in life.
she could’ve come back with that spoiled brat being a HALF brother.. but she’s so much better than him
In my experience, it's not even big things, just some chocolate or little toys, etc. Even if they are big presents, it's none of the Dad's business!
Unless I heard wrong even his new wife agrees with his kids. The mother of the spoiled one still thinks he's wrong.
Yes! I felt like they totally overlooked that vomment alone. That is enough to cut contact alone.
@davidprince6877 Oh, I'm certain OP is the one spoiling his son.
Amanda trying to explain RAM as "you need a lot of it" is perfect
True, and she's not wrong lmao
And the “it’s basically…”
Ya at least she's got that part down😂
41:42 thanks amanda for telling people what cold really is lmao
When you're watching this at the exact time you find out and you're looking for Any sign of them being together😂😂
The heat from Shayne, Courtney, and Amanda on that waiter story really just shows how frustrating those kind of people are. Like they aren't even here and all three of them are visibly bummed and angry.
i had a feeling that story struck a rlly personal chord with all of them
@@cloudmacchiato oh most definitely
the religious trauma leaping out of shayne and courtney for that karen story….. they just like me fr 🫡
Same😭
me too :(
Courtney mentioning that she left the LDS church as well... You don't JUST "leave" the Mormon church. That takes WORK.
Courtney talking about the Box Car Children and the tea cup took me wayyyyyy back to my childhood 😭
I was born and raised christian IN Arizona. The MOMENT I turned 18 I left the church. I worked in retail in a small town outside of Phoenix, and EVERYONE would ONLY say Merry Christmas. Not happy holidays or anything like that. They only said Merry Christmas, and they said it in this fucking “holier than thou” tone that made me wanna bang my head against the wall. Anyway, I always gave them my best customer service smile and said, “and Happy Hanukkah to you too.” The looks on their faces FED ME. Some people looked surprised and then recovered and moved on, some were clearly angry, but my favorite ones were the ones that were utterly confused. Like, you could see that they had NEVER considered there were actual people that REALLY celebrated other holidays. They were soooooooooo fucking confused. You could see their whole world view crumbling. Damn, that was the good shit.
