as he should. because everyone immediately thinks DADDY! but in real terms like he's got father potential but there wasn't such an affirming moment until now
@@aavi. I agree. And Olivia picking him to help with the butterflies. I remember they talked in a podcast that the girls would pick him as moral support. That's high praise, especially for a straight man, that people feel so safe around him. Especially when part of his entertainment persona is being loud and chaotic. All great signs that you're a pretty darn reliable guy (from what we can tell)
I'm sure MatPat would LOVE to come on! One of the main reasons he retired is to collaborate in more content with other creators. You guys should reach out, ask if he wants to come on for other shows too!
Ngl I'm a bit concerned with Erin's problems, that's a ton for one month and the not showering a week seems like a pretty bad depressive episode. I feel like amanda caught onto the signs and gave her great advice to reach out for support. That's why I love the mom of smosh
I love how some people submitted actual problems and Angela shows up with Baby Chosen 😂 We now have context for her having the baby on the clay livestream
the duran lap sitting part is so funny because you can see he didnt really expect shayne to take the bit so seriously when he's like "wait...right now?" and then shayne patting his back
I see it as him trying to be respectful too. He knew it was a bit but wanted to confirm that Shayne was actually committed to doing it and not just giving him a cue to play it off. He didn't want to disrupt Shayne's personal space. They are coworkers after all.
It’s used for people who are just generally chronically online, not just gamers. I honestly think the average “gamer” has more intellectual capacity than the average Redditor. That’s because Reddit actually rots your brain right out of the noggin.
Shane giving Dad vibes with baby Cho and Matt with the dead father issue. Amanda giving mom vibes with Josh getting bullied by Peter and Trevor addicted to Fortnight. This was a really good episode!!
The GASPS from the entire room when Shayne calmed Cho was a) the most chosen thing ever and b) every maternal figures reaction seeing Shayne as a Dad haha. It suits him honestly!
Nicole’s voice is velvety and balanced and warm. It’s not that it’s AI generated, it’s that folks with those qualities to their voice have been hired for things like reading questions or instructions or audio books for years. Cause those voices are so nice to listen to.
I think it's also that her voice feels a bit unusual for a woman. There seems to be a bit of the warm rumble that we more often associate with male bass voices, like James Earl Jones. I mean, I completely understand the remark. I genuinely belived that there was some form of post-processing on her voice, or that she was in a special sound booth, so I fully understand the "not entirely natural" interpretation. But she should in no way take this as a bad thing!
She's so out of pocket sometimes! Like when she said she was soaked after the almost kiss with Ian. (During the Smosh Sitcom there was an almost kiss where Ian stood over her. She said she was soaked by that and everyone cracked up so hard. She meant because he was spitting)
I wanna give Rock a hug 😭 everyone deserves to have someone in their corner and to show up for them. I hope he truly has good people in his corner now and he can learn to lean on those people. Loving yourself is important but having the love of others also helps us grow. He seems like a cool dude.
the fact that Shayne statistically should be the perfect role for this because of his degree but in reality needs Amanda to give actual advice is sending me 😭
He's much more of a thinker while she jumps straight in with gut. He has said that it's his biggest problem with doing Reddit stories. Because he kind of needs to digest everything and then says something wise. He's very quick witted with comedy but I think for more genuine stuff he's more calculated. He can be present quickly if needed though as he was in the video where Olivia faced her fear of butterflies.
@@hernameispekka_Rebecca Yeah his points tend to be much more refined and well thought out, Amanda just sends it. Sometimes I completely disagree with her, sometimes she's right on. Shayne always re-frames things in an intellectual manner with a comedic twist, I enjoy his takes a lot.
I was in a peer counseling program in college (something I did primarily to learn communication skills; I had no desire to go into therapy and my majors were COMPLETELY different from everyone else in the program) and we were taught that it's not a counselor's job to offer advice; it's their job to ask the right questions to essentially get the client to come up with their own advice via their thought process. So it makes complete sense to me that Shayne's degree would lead him away from offering advice, because he was probably taught similarly!
@@hernameispekka_Rebecca i think this is why this pairing works. one just whole asses the situation as it comes, while the other takes a step back and assesses the situation before making their move
To be fair, she's the person working closest to them. I think she's smosh mains assistant (or ians?) or maybe that was in the past. But she's a producer or something for smosh main. So the three of them are likely often together working on stuff
@@hernameispekka_Rebecca I think you're right. Ive said it in other comments, but I suspect she's very good at her job and she has a lot of passion for her job.
@@riktheyellowmonkey Not only that, but I think she's a very good match for their senses of humor (especially Ian's), and that's a big part of WHY she's so good at the job and why she went from being an executive assistant to being the AP for main, a HUGE leap up the org chart.
@@tjpeluso yeah, shes real good at what she does and she gets both of them even being way younger than them. shes a great fit for main and for flashback
Rock's segment was so real and genuinely authentic! In a sea of jokes, it felt so vulnerable. He seems like such a lovely person, and his editing style always adds to the greatness of the videos he works on.
even funnier if he walked up and said: "so there's this guy who thinks i'm bullying him. i trued to do everything but the misunderstandings just keep piling up 😔"
Amanda’s advice of “Don’t think of it as confrontation; think of it as shining a light on yourself” was really thought-provoking and helpful. I really love this format!
fr! and the whole reframing how you word it to focus on communicating how you feel rather than directing it at the person you're talking to is really great. def something that applies to me in my life rn
I've actually heard this a few times. To say "I feel" instead of "you did this" or "you make me feel". It's less negative and points to how you feel instead of pointing at them as being the problem. I should clarify that's my not-at-all-educated-in-this-way of understanding it.
Okay, but seriously. I think MatPat should come onto Smosh to do one of two things: 1. Convince Shayne and Amanda to not fall down the FNAF Lore rabbit hole because it does consume you and you will never be the same 2. Only listen to Amanda pitch what she thinks the lore is. I desperately want to know what MatPat thinks about the fungus theory
Seconded. I do not need PatMat to go on a full shpiel (idk how to spell that word so that is what it is lol) about the actual lore, just the faux lore being taken kinda srsly and seeing where it goes would land REALLY hard. Also please Steph on the show, she is probably as knee deep in LORE as MatPat is.
I would like for him to make a short explanation about the first 3-4 games, just so Amanda can see the parts where she was so far off with her theories lol
She’s a strong, badass bitch. I have such respect for her and how she has handled her journey to become her true self. Like, the way she said that… absolutely non-ironically funny authenticity.
So true, but also, I get her. I brought my car with me when i went to college and forgot to register it in the new state, and also didn’t have the right car insurance papers in my car, and consequently ended up having to go to court after getting pulled over 😅 thankfully i registered my car and got the correct paperwork before going to court and they dismissed the charges but that sure was a lesson in Paperwork is Important. Even though it’s also really annoying and easy to avoid.
I forgot to renew my license plate because adhd, I went to the dmv found out my car was marked as destroyed and my insurance was paying for somebody else’s car because of a document mix up. Went through hell because the dmv didn’t believe my car still existed…despite the fact I drove it there
“I don’t mind, I guess. It’s definitely better than being called slurs” is CRAZY!!!! Also, Nicole’s voice is beautiful and stunning and hot and great and everything!
josh's peter bit had me laughing, angela's motherhood bit had me on the verge of tears, and immediately followed up by duran's bit with amanda's "are you hardened up on shayne?" (not verbatim) had me just completely laughably wrecked PLEASE
Watching such attractive, funny, and charismatic people GENUINELY STRUGGLE with the dating apps is one of the most comforting things I have seen in a while
Pop was my go to person to talk to. For everything. Mom kidnapped me when I was 4. So I grew up without him. Since he passed it's like being lost in the world. The hardest part is not hearing his voice. Miss you Pop.
59:34 - Can we please see more of Rock here on the SmoshCast 🙏 I actually ended up crying when he was talking about being 'seen'/valued by others to now be the thing dictating his worth, & how hard that's been/the mental struggle of that, when he previously dictated his own worth independently..... I related/felt that deeply & I don't think I've ever heard it articulated so well before ❤ Please bring him back, he's a gem 🌻 I'd really appreciate hearing more of his voice... His thoughts/views would be such a great addition 🌈
@@highdefinition450 Someone who’s studying while also working full time at Smosh and filming The Goldbergs and So Random - even if he wasn’t doing all of this, people work at their own pace, what difference does it make how long it took him to get his degree?
@@highdefinition450 So true story, my relative works as a faculty in an institution, yes? They have to get a PhD if they want a higher salary that comes with being a "Professor" so now they're registered in the same institute as a PhD student. Normally people who do the PhD programme full-time do it in about 4-ish years but since they were also working as a lecturer/assistant professor they had to take 7 years to get it.
Seeing Nichole in smosh videos and running a whole series on Anthony’s channel makes so so freaking happy, she’s is such a gem and I’ve loved her content for so long!!! This video is everything!!!
It is incredibly cute. I have a feeling and suspect that Erin is actually a really good employee and does an excellent job. She tries to present that she's a useless person, being unable to do anything useful but I can feel the passion and suspect she's actually really good at what she does. I actually understand a lot of her issues because I have ADHD. Actually doing stuff and keeping on top of things can be difficult. At my very worst, I was showering every few days. I've dealt with it and I manage to do things more but is has been an issue previously. You aren't alone Erin if you are reading this! Or any of the other Smosh cast. It's
RE: Making friends as an adult, 100% agree with the community aspect. I recently moved to a new country and was really struggling with figuring this out (I'm in my 30s). I love tabletop games and figured I'd look at local shops. Found one that was hosting a trading card game event and decided I was gonna buy a starter deck and just take the leap and join. Nearly half a year later, these are my support system here (aside from my partner and her family). They all threw me a birthday party (pretty much the first one I've had since before COVID) and I'm really thankful to have them in my life. It's not easy as an introvert, but I'm truly thankful I did it.
To be honest, that’s one of the best episodes of the podcast, not just for the funny bits but the moments you guy’s we’re really talking about feelings you can sense Shayne and Amanda’s empathy for their coworkers, please release more of this type of episodes
“You are not a bad person for communicating hard things” This is great. I really needed to hear this as someone with overbearing narcissistic parents. When I voice my feelings and opinions I’m made to be the villain. But Amanda is so right. I’m not the bad person just because I’m communicating about difficult things.
Damn. I needed this reminder too. I was hella upset with mine yesterday and tried to explain why and set down boundaries but then somehow I became the bad guy and it’s been messing with my brain for 24 hours. Thanks for helping me snap out of it. I’m not the bad guy. My parents are just narcissistic psychopaths.
Erin coming in with a blanket, opening a pineapple juice, saying “I have BV”, and then into dumping the worst things I’ve ever heard is PEAK Gen Z humor But also I hope things get better for her because geez that’s a lot! ❤️
"I've never heard anyone at Smosh fart..." Me instantly - "Dude heard Keith fart on the watermelon elastic video!" While doing the Wolf of Wall Street point at TV meme
Marcus, ask your doctor for a referral to an ENT, heavy snoring is typically a sign of sleep apnea and it tends to affect men as they get older, side sleeping can help, wedge pillows can help as well (don’t side sleep on a wedge pillow tho), they can also prescribe you with either cpap machines or oral medical devices to help alleviate sleep apnea if you have it but they can also help if the issue is not sleep apnea
Yeah, Marcus could actually benefit from seeing and real Doctor. People sleep on the issue too much (pun intended) and it can really affect your quality of life.
I just want to give Lizzie a hug. My husband and I used to be so bad at confrontation, now whenever he or I manage to communicate our frustrations clearly and confidently, the other one gives them a mini chocolate bar as positive renforcement.
oh, Nicole's voice is beautiful. I remember hearing her lead a Q&A with the Smosh cast on Anthony's solo channel. I instantly noticed how warm, elegant and engaging her voice is. Very pleasant to the ears 😊
Going "I have bv" with zero hesitation is an absolutely insane power move n im now in love with Erin also love how Amanda not knowing shit always leaves joke more serious than intended. Smosh is just full of chaos queens and Im living for it
"What is this? What is this? What is this men against chronicly offline queen who doesn't know video games? Im sorry that I LIVED. IM SORRY THAT I EXPERIENCED GRASS GROWING UNDER MY NAKED FEET. IM SORRY THAT IM A FAIRY LIVING IN A MAGICAL WORLD. Go, Trevor, go." These are the words I will pass down to my offsprings.
I REALLY want to see Josh on a non-musical TNTL, especially after learning that it was on his and Patrick's recommendations that Angela & Chanse were hired.
snoring and mouth breathing are very different things, and considering that sudden snoring could be a sign that someone might have developed sleep apnea I'd go against the advice to tape your mouth shut before eliminating that possibility
The Rock portion of the video was so precious! I love how they mixed authentic love/advice for their people and the usual goofiness! Truly a golden era 🤍
Hearing Ian gave Erin the advice about the hacking and then also him and Anthony took her to get her car back solidified them being genuine “dads” to the cast and crew of Smosh. 😅 That is freaking adorable.
idk if it's possible but please make these episodes once in a while (monthly might be too much to ask for). shayne and amanda actually gave great advice. also, i love the cast as much as i love the crew so it's nice to see the latter more in videos. we also need updates on the 2024 predictions & shayne's taiwanese cooking + amanda's flower arrangements
Lizzy’s entire part was sooo helpful because that problem is something I constantly deal with. And even more relatable knowing we’re both libras haha. We need balance and scared to confront and tip the scale unbalancing things! It honestly made me emotional because I feel so seen. Definitely taking in all that advice given!
I don't know if anyone else does this, but I always check who edited the video in the description everytime I watch a Smosh video so it's nice to finally put a face to the names
Emily, resist that urge to overthink the dating app prompts. Just be yourself (if being interviewed by someone you trust like Amanda suggested helps, by all means go for it), follow your gut, and it will work out. You're a total catch and whatever guy you decide to reel in is the lucky one!
I know we joke a lot that ian and anthony are the smosh dads but them taking erin to get her car back is literally the most the dad thing of all time

Ian and Anthony helping Erin get her car back is so sweet. They’re really leaning into being the Smosh Dads.

YESS! Being a guest on the podcast to talk about FNAF, I'm sure he'll love that. Also might like being in a Smosh Games vid.

josh's peter bit had me laughing, angela's motherhood bit had me on the verge of tears, and immediately followed up by duran's bit with amanda's "are you hardened up on shayne?" (not verbatim) had me just completely laughably wrecked PLEASE
Watching such attractive, funny, and charismatic people GENUINELY STRUGGLE with the dating apps is one of the most comforting things I have seen in a while
I think its the opposite of comforting for me
@@maxeros4725true, like damn if *they’re* struggling what does that mean for the rest of us 💀
I don't know a single person who's legitimately looking for a relationship that doesn't struggle with them, female or male.
Hey Happy Birthday partner to Matt Duran, Earth Day is my birthday too!!
@@tjpeluso And yet there are people who try using dating apps just to find friends which is both sad and incredibly stupid.
“People who loose their dads become hard bitches” had me CACKLING. As a member of the dead dads club Durans issue had me laughing so hard
As a member of the dead beat dad club, boy are we hardened.
@@elnino8522same! Dad left before I was born and came back just to be an abusive alcoholic before leaving again. 😅
Pop was my go to person to talk to. For everything. Mom kidnapped me when I was 4. So I grew up without him. Since he passed it's like being lost in the world. The hardest part is not hearing his voice.
Miss you Pop.
@@Qui-Dad-JinnI'm so so sorry for your loss and what you went through 😢❤️ I'm hoping and praying for you to have the best day everyday
@@tessaelto1472 that's very kind of you. Thank you.
59:34 - Can we please see more of Rock here on the SmoshCast 🙏 I actually ended up crying when he was talking about being 'seen'/valued by others to now be the thing dictating his worth, & how hard that's been/the mental struggle of that, when he previously dictated his own worth independently..... I related/felt that deeply & I don't think I've ever heard it articulated so well before ❤ Please bring him back, he's a gem 🌻 I'd really appreciate hearing more of his voice... His thoughts/views would be such a great addition 🌈
This episode proves even more that the crew is just as funny as the cast.
Duran killed me 😂
Can't wait till we finally get the video that Angela's whole baby thing has been for
😂😂😂
Satisfied now😂
Shayne was like “I spent 10 years getting a psychology degree, Reddit stories is not enough, I need to get the most out of it!” 😂
"I spent 10 years to get a psych degree and I laugh too much to ever use it"😭
who needs 10 years to get a degree lmao what
@@highdefinition450 Someone who’s studying while also working full time at Smosh and filming The Goldbergs and So Random - even if he wasn’t doing all of this, people work at their own pace, what difference does it make how long it took him to get his degree?
@@highdefinition450 Not every student can be a student full time.
@@highdefinition450 So true story, my relative works as a faculty in an institution, yes? They have to get a PhD if they want a higher salary that comes with being a "Professor" so now they're registered in the same institute as a PhD student. Normally people who do the PhD programme full-time do it in about 4-ish years but since they were also working as a lecturer/assistant professor they had to take 7 years to get it.
shayne as a dad would be the most wholesome and cute thing ever
Well, he's not called "Father Shayne" every Saturdays for nothing. :))
Shayne would be too powerful if he unlocked dad jokes
Seeing Nichole in smosh videos and running a whole series on Anthony’s channel makes so so freaking happy, she’s is such a gem and I’ve loved her content for so long!!! This video is everything!!!
Duran rubbing Shayne’s back/shoulder is making me weirdly emotional
"you asked dating app advice from the person who hasn't used the internet since it was created" was hilarious 😂
Ian and Anthony basically parenting Erin is so pure
Yeah that was really cute
It is incredibly cute. I have a feeling and suspect that Erin is actually a really good employee and does an excellent job. She tries to present that she's a useless person, being unable to do anything useful but I can feel the passion and suspect she's actually really good at what she does.
I actually understand a lot of her issues because I have ADHD. Actually doing stuff and keeping on top of things can be difficult. At my very worst, I was showering every few days. I've dealt with it and I manage to do things more but is has been an issue previously.
You aren't alone Erin if you are reading this! Or any of the other Smosh cast. It's
Marcus splicing in a fart with his "snoring" is genuinely one of the funniest things I've seen on Smosh
It's such a Shayne move!
RE: Making friends as an adult, 100% agree with the community aspect. I recently moved to a new country and was really struggling with figuring this out (I'm in my 30s). I love tabletop games and figured I'd look at local shops. Found one that was hosting a trading card game event and decided I was gonna buy a starter deck and just take the leap and join.
Nearly half a year later, these are my support system here (aside from my partner and her family). They all threw me a birthday party (pretty much the first one I've had since before COVID) and I'm really thankful to have them in my life. It's not easy as an introvert, but I'm truly thankful I did it.
This is lovely:(
31:20 Shayne “So who all has said this to you?” Sounds like he’s making a hit list of people who are mean to Nicole
amanda calling herself "a chronically offline queen" with the air quotes is so funny
Josh is so funny and the way he didn’t break at all is so impressive
The best therapists I can think of!
Finally putting that degree to use Shayne! 😂
Man… The Osmosis Jones jokes 😂😂
"Tell her to get over it"
🔥🔥🔥
Betterhelp stocks are going low 🔥🔥
@@oliverdelica2289 good
To be honest, that’s one of the best episodes of the podcast, not just for the funny bits but the moments you guy’s we’re really talking about feelings you can sense Shayne and Amanda’s empathy for their coworkers, please release more of this type of episodes
“I’ve been with my girlfriend for 10 years” pause 😭
I guess it would be foolish to let go of such a man as Marcus
“You are not a bad person for communicating hard things” This is great. I really needed to hear this as someone with overbearing narcissistic parents. When I voice my feelings and opinions I’m made to be the villain. But Amanda is so right. I’m not the bad person just because I’m communicating about difficult things.
Damn. I needed this reminder too. I was hella upset with mine yesterday and tried to explain why and set down boundaries but then somehow I became the bad guy and it’s been messing with my brain for 24 hours. Thanks for helping me snap out of it. I’m not the bad guy. My parents are just narcissistic psychopaths.
Erin coming in with a blanket, opening a pineapple juice, saying “I have BV”, and then into dumping the worst things I’ve ever heard is PEAK Gen Z humor
But also I hope things get better for her because geez that’s a lot! ❤️
What does that even mean? How is that “Gen Z humor”? Is Gen Z humor literally just complaining about how your life is shit?
Shayne completely blocking out Keith's wet a$$ fart is honestly so on point.
Not gonna lie Marcus is my hero, didn’t realize he was straight.
Could still be bi though
"I'm sorry that I LIVED. I'm sorry that I experienced grass growing." Quoting this forever 😂
"I've never heard anyone at Smosh fart..."
Me instantly - "Dude heard Keith fart on the watermelon elastic video!" While doing the Wolf of Wall Street point at TV meme
That was my thought too, like right away
“My Beads” - Keith Leak Jr.
That's from "Once Upon A Time In Hollywood", but I get what you're saying
If you're referring to the yellow shirt DiCaprio pointing at the TV, it's from Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
@@georgelloydgonzalez you didn't say Um Actually so Ify can't give you the point. /joking around
Marcus, ask your doctor for a referral to an ENT, heavy snoring is typically a sign of sleep apnea and it tends to affect men as they get older, side sleeping can help, wedge pillows can help as well (don’t side sleep on a wedge pillow tho), they can also prescribe you with either cpap machines or oral medical devices to help alleviate sleep apnea if you have it but they can also help if the issue is not sleep apnea
Boosting this comment right here ☝️☝️☝️☝️
Yeah for real this is an actual health concern. If you’re not breathing properly during sleep, your brain isn’t getting proper oxygen.
Yeah, Marcus could actually benefit from seeing and real Doctor. People sleep on the issue too much (pun intended) and it can really affect your quality of life.
Thank you I was searching for this and hopefully the crew will see it
Yes! I was looking for a comment that would say this! Def go get it checked out by doctor just to be safe!
I just want to give Lizzie a hug. My husband and I used to be so bad at confrontation, now whenever he or I manage to communicate our frustrations clearly and confidently, the other one gives them a mini chocolate bar as positive renforcement.
That’s so cute!
oh, Nicole's voice is beautiful. I remember hearing her lead a Q&A with the Smosh cast on Anthony's solo channel. I instantly noticed how warm, elegant and engaging her voice is. Very pleasant to the ears 😊
MatPat literally is doing more podcasts and interviews since he is "retired" because he has more time!!! SEND HIM A DM
ian and anthony helping erin get her car back is so sweet
i need amandas offline queen rant tattooed on me "im sorry im a fairy" i cant
RIGHT
Genuinely crying laughing at it
Going "I have bv" with zero hesitation is an absolutely insane power move n im now in love with Erin
also love how Amanda not knowing shit always leaves joke more serious than intended. Smosh is just full of chaos queens and Im living for it
Amanda talking about confrontation is so relatable and resentment building is so true. Communication is key! This is such good advice.
"What is this? What is this? What is this men against chronicly offline queen who doesn't know video games? Im sorry that I LIVED. IM SORRY THAT I EXPERIENCED GRASS GROWING UNDER MY NAKED FEET. IM SORRY THAT IM A FAIRY LIVING IN A MAGICAL WORLD. Go, Trevor, go."
These are the words I will pass down to my offsprings.
You’re gonna have to name your kid Trevor then. And then…kick him out.
Josh’s delivery is amazing. I would gladly see more of him outside of his usual on screen role of “Vaudeville pianist”
I REALLY want to see Josh on a non-musical TNTL, especially after learning that it was on his and Patrick's recommendations that Angela & Chanse were hired.
@@tjpeluso aww omg where did they say that?
I was not ready for Angela with the chosen baby😂
I’m so incredibly confused by it 😭
shayne: "i've never heard anyone fart"
also shayne: * lost his mind laughing at keith's silent library fart *
We all need an Amanda in our lives, she’s literally the ultimate hype woman 👏🏻
I kind of hear the voice thing with Nicole. BUT I think it sounds cool as hell. Nicole, your voice is dope as hell. You be you!
Duran sitting on Shayne’s lap took me out omfg 🤣
I died
50:22 Loved everyone's surprise when Shayne was able to calm Cho down 😂
Love the new Chosen lore 👶🏻😎
And noone was more surprised than Shayne himself!
@@hernameispekka_Rebecca
Chosen recognizes Chosen 😂
Love his confusion tho
Erin's section of the video being labeled "how do I stop being dumb?" 😭😂
Shayne holding baby Chosen was actually the cutest
Amanda is quickly becoming my favorite cast member! She's so good in this and honestly gave great advice. Also she was incredible in the Live Sitcom!
I went to High School with Rock. And was so nice and encouraging to me during Summer school. So happy to see him follow his dream.
i need therapy from shaymanda BADLY
You mean you need to sit on their lap🤓
I love Nicole’s voice. It’s so smooth and lovely. I think maybe it’s just so perfect that people think it’s AI
You could feel every person with any maternal instinct simultaneously fall a little in love with shayne when he calmed the baby down
Don’t you parental instinct?
Maternal is a gendered word. So is paternal. It’s confusing and often misused.
Honestly, Nicole's voice is so smooth and beautiful. It's like a putting on a warm silk robe
Shayne is joking but mouth tape literally fixed my night time mouth breathing
ive been doing it for 2 months now and it has not helped😭
It'll fix mouth breathing. It will NOT fix snoring
Yeah solved my wedding problems but caused my widower problem
snoring and mouth breathing are very different things, and considering that sudden snoring could be a sign that someone might have developed sleep apnea I'd go against the advice to tape your mouth shut before eliminating that possibility
nose tape is for snoring, mouth tape is for mouth breathing
The Chosen has that Doctor Who “I speak baby” energy
The Rock portion of the video was so precious! I love how they mixed authentic love/advice for their people and the usual goofiness! Truly a golden era 🤍
this video shows how genuinely caring and personable amanda is. a true gem
This was such a good prompt for this podcast shout out to whoever thought of it
Shayne looking genuinely terrified for Erin 😭😭😭
Hearing Ian gave Erin the advice about the hacking and then also him and Anthony took her to get her car back solidified them being genuine “dads” to the cast and crew of Smosh. 😅 That is freaking adorable.
idk if it's possible but please make these episodes once in a while (monthly might be too much to ask for). shayne and amanda actually gave great advice. also, i love the cast as much as i love the crew so it's nice to see the latter more in videos.
we also need updates on the 2024 predictions & shayne's taiwanese cooking + amanda's flower arrangements
Lizzy’s entire part was sooo helpful because that problem is something I constantly deal with. And even more relatable knowing we’re both libras haha. We need balance and scared to confront and tip the scale unbalancing things! It honestly made me emotional because I feel so seen. Definitely taking in all that advice given!
You people seriously just let the stars dictate your life and personality? Seriously?
33:04 miss maam is just enunciating her vowels really well. she shoudl get into voice acting
HOW COULD SHAYNE FORGET KEITH'S FART IN THE SILENT CHALLENGE PIT VIDEO?!?!?!
Truly!
That’s the first thing I thought of when he said that!!
and also the jeremys secret fart
I feel that we need to show Trevor more love in the comments! He is a great addition to the cast, especially on the games channel!
He tries too hard
I love how Emily is asking two married people (who didn't meet their partners on dating apps) tips on how to be successful on dating apps lol
Truly! Amanda never even used the apps and Shayne hasn't for like half a decade!!
I don't know if anyone else does this, but I always check who edited the video in the description everytime I watch a Smosh video so it's nice to finally put a face to the names
Emily, resist that urge to overthink the dating app prompts. Just be yourself (if being interviewed by someone you trust like Amanda suggested helps, by all means go for it), follow your gut, and it will work out. You're a total catch and whatever guy you decide to reel in is the lucky one!
