As a fellow anxiety girlie, I felt Ryan's comments on phone calls so hard. Phone calls are the WORST! Phone hate is SUCH a common take among anxious people, particularly those with social anxiety. You're validated, Ryan!
Same! Its always felt so alien to me, even in the 90s
yess!!
Honestly I prefer texting but sometimes it’s required to call like a business or doctor related type thing
People really need to understand that phone anxiety is a real thing. I've struggled with social anxiety for the longest time, and even though things have improved and I've gotten more comfortable talking to people, being on the phone is still very anxiety-inducing for me. So same here, in relating to Ryan. Like I want to call in and ask them questions while they're recording a podcast, but I think of the worst case scenarios of saying something stupid or stuttering so much-- even though I know these guys would never judge me or bully me, but I think that just stems from trauma/being bullied in middle school.
Some day though! I just have to think what questions I would like to ask them beforehand. Write it down too, perhaps. LOL.
@@oooh19I always have a mental script prepared and actual written topic points/questions, otherwise my anxiety makes me forget why I was calling in the first place
I was laughing OUT LOUD, CACKLING during the Ryan and Shane massage school story. Literally tears in my eyes
It was a funny af story but im so glad it didnt happen to me skhdjd
"Aare they bringing out the bees, too???" that took me out
Start with phone anxiety, end with a phone call. Perfect symmetry.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to season 1, episode 6 of my weekly apartment cleaning. Still going strong thanks to your banter making me not hate this !
Edit: it's clean again, even though it took more time than usual :-(
You’re such a breath of fresh air 😭❤️
i was about to say where tf is eleanor wilson but then i realized i accidentally missed your comment. so happy to hear this thank you for the crucial update
I always look forward to your apartment cleaning updates 😂
I genuinely fucking love seeing your comment.
Dang, good for you. I should start a habit tied to podcasts
Them answering the call live is proof that these 3 are genuinely good and wholesome people❤
I almost choked on the "don't worry that's just Reggie" part 😂
I'm honestly hoping it wasnt reggie and it really was the massage guy licking their feet. Like some hidden fetish workshop
Shane having FOMO when Ryan got a Tarot card reading without him 🤣
Shane absolutely gives insane art teacher energy
The Pure joy radiating from them when the sandwhich question was asked was so funny. I'm honestly surprised they hadn't brought this up on the podcast before !!
Matt repeatedly trying to get them to tell Juan what they wanted to be when they grew up made me laugh SO much. "JUAN DIDNT ASK ABOUT THAT"
You guys should really advertise this on the main channel! I’m sure others will really enjoy it.
I love your guys pod and watch them while I am studying, keep it up :)
They do occasionally. But ig they need to include sponsored ads more often to earn enougg
Main channel? The pay channel?
@@itsonlymyopinionok8115 no. Main channel as in the main channel. If you don't want to pay, then you get adverts, thats how it works
I don't know what it is about phone calls that make me so anxious. Even after working as a receptionist...😂
Maybe that’s why
not my heart rate increasing during the phone call part. i’m stressed and i don’t even have a phone call planned
I almost skipped that section out of anxiety 😂 then I remembered that they wouldn't include it in the ep if anything went wrong
1:08:20 I work for an apartment complex cleaning units after people move out, its crazy how many times my 5 year old talks about how he's going to do my job and things he'll do "when he works here as an adult" 😂
This is officially my favorite episode yet - so much happening, so many laughs! ❤🎉 the call-in feature is flippin awesome 👌
I find Ryan's anxiety about talking on the phone SO relatable!! And the silences and everything...so very relatable!
The Mail Time song kinda sounds like a song that would be on Stardew Valley.
theres a 100% chance that was my inspiration.
@@MattyIsTalkingI love it! It’s so good. Such a good game too. 😊
I think of Frogger lol
I’m a witch and a tarot reader and I’m glad that Shane and Ryan were really respectful about the subject. Witchcraft can be a religion that’s what Wicca is but witchcraft is more of a practice same thing with Tarot. You don’t have to partake in a religion to do witchcraft. I was nervous about Shane’s perspective on it but I’m really happy that they were really respectful and open about it even if they didn’t believe in it. Tarot is not so much about fortune telling but rather self-improvement and development as well as understanding of yourself. Carl Jung relates the psychology of subconscious to tarot images.
I feel the opposite about phone calls! Texting can be really overwhelming for me because you can’t hear the persons tone of voice or see their facial expressions + I have to figure out how to convey the tone of voice that I want through text. It starts to feel like an assignment I have to write lol. I feel like phone calls are easier because I don’t have to think about what I’m gonna say, I just say it and my tone is easier to read/I can read other’s tone.
Lmaoo as a person who prefers text over calls i too struggle with this. So i make a liberal use of emojis to make sure my tone is better understood
Same here! Texting gives me triple the anxiety of a normal call.
I’m with Steven on this! I love talking on the phone with people I feel comfortable talking to! Sometimes it would go from 2-4 hours 😂
"Does an apple have caffeine in it?" Is the boy version of "is butter a carb?" 😅😂😂😂
The complete disdain for toasted subs is mind blowing to me. Couldn’t disagree more. Warm bread>cold bread. Melted cheese>cold cheese. It’s really that simple
Idk, I love some cold cuts. A cold sandwich feels not too heavy, refreshing. Chef's kiss
32:58 i keep replaying shane's verbal keysmash, it's so good. i laughed very hard
I developed phone anxiety and a general annoyance being on the phone after working in call centers for a few years.
Matt is cool. I like it when Matt talks.
I'm with Ryan on this one. Of course, I have anxiety too but talking on the phone is the worst. Calling people is stressful and all I can think is there are things I need to be doing! And also, so random but I get the itchy from bananas too. lol Love all you guys!
Crying at everyone making fun of ryan being lowkey allergic to bananas
LESS STRUCTURE MORE RAMBLES LOL
Agreed!!!
My career aptitude test gave me Taxidermist and Funeral Director. 😌
Okay, that's pretty freaking cool. 😂 💯
Ryan is definitely mildly allergic to bananas 😂 I get the same thing, but as long as I drink water during and after I’m fine. If I don’t I get an itchy mouth and sometimes even hives inside my mouth/on my lips.
I found out I'm mildly allergic to kiwis after making a smoothie for my sister and I and mentioning the itch to her. I legit thought this whole time that the little hairs from the skin were getting in no matter how carefully I cut and rinsed it.
Another fruit tip: if it feels like pineapple is biting your tongue, it has gone bad. Doesn't taste or smell off, but it should not be biting you.
I am like that with avacado 😅 still made avocado toast though
Weird fact: it's common for people with an allergy to bananas to also be allergic to latex!
I loved Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys so it was no surprise that I love Ryan & Shane, the unsolved boys. Is this totally unrealistic of me to dream of seeing a movie of the Watcher team, like: Ryan & Shane-Take the Ghouls Home, Ryan & Shane-Gadgets are Haunted, Ryan & Shane-Scary Vacation, Ryan & Shane, Unafraid? Will it all remain just that, a dream? But just know this, movie or not, you guys are my YT content kings. When scrolling thru the vids, I always end up watching Ryan & Shane. And the Professor, of course!
You are serious ghostbusters and making a movie might damage your rep, but somebody else may steal your concept/ideas and make millions out of an animation/cartoon or movie about you.
34:40 I used to work at subway, and the combinations people would get or things they'd want toasted was vile sometimes. Once someone got tuna toasted, and then about 2 inches high worth of pickles on top with mayo. That was the entire sandwich
You know, they're living their dream
If I called and you guys answered, with the anxiety I feel with the phone ringing on the other end, I would quite literally pass away. I might legit hang up hahah
I love you guys so much. Thanks for keeping this podcast going.
I've been in a long distance relationship for 4+ years. He's the ONLY one I call, otherwise i also hate phone calls with anyone else
Such a hilarious episode xD Also, I know Subway and a couple other places that toasts the bread, meat and cheese, AND THEN adds the veggies and other accoutrements :P That way you still get the variety of temps and the lettuce isn't as wilted. On the PB&J side I was always just a PB kid. I didn't jam with jam (jelly), but as an adult I can dig it. I wanted to a scientist and a firefighter when I was growing up, but when I got into high school I set my sights on architecture. I later job shadowed at a firm and realized how dull it was D:
love this trio so much!!
also i love an unstructured show
that first call was so cute 😢
Huh being an April, I’m adopting Graypril
Strawberry jam is the right answer, cheap wheat bread. Smooth pb. Honey instead of jelly is good too.
Sorry, raspberry jam. 😋
i've been practicing witchcraft on and off for about 13 years and the only correction i would make is that it isn't a religion. it's just a practice, and many witches are part of religions and their practice is an addition to whatever god (or deities) they worship. and some witches, like me, are secular and don't ascribe to any religion. i would even hesitate to call it a spirituality because many people to don't view their practice that way but i guess i'd say most are spiritual in some way ❤
watching this as a pagan is CRAZY i would sell a kidney to do a reading for the ghoul boys
Frankly I am hesitant to even watch the episode because these three have made it clear over the years that their understanding of witches, witchcraft and paganism is what they learned from a disney movie lol. I feel like I am just going to get mad watching this, how's the video going so far?
Oh my god i was so relieved that Ryan was exaggerating about the hawk at medieval times 😂
Hey bois! I'm a professional Tarot reader, Witch, and enchanted candle-maker (I'll put links at the bottom) 🌈💚🌈 I've been a Patron of yours since the beginning, and I've always been nervous to hear your thoughts on Tarot - wowwww I am genuinely THRILLED you guys are so open-minded! 💚💚💚 I'm friends with two of the big professional witches out there, Nick Dickinson (of Circe Academy of Feral Greek Witchcraft) and Amanda Yates Garcia (the Oracle of LA) and would be happy to put in a good word for y'all with them 💚
Whether you choose either of them (or myself if you like!), I ask that you intentionally choose someone who demonstrates consensual Tarot. E.g., the Tarot reader explains everything they are going to do in the reading before beginning; asks the querant about their boundaries (anything off the table today?); and clarifies what the reader is asking of the querant ("You can say as much or as little as you want about this concern/question/etc"). Bringing a Tarot Reader and/or witch on who demonstrates this type of consent-based spirit work would be just freaking incredible 🌈💚🌈
I would also ask that you bring on someone who is an intersectional activist (like nearly all witches are!!) - Amanda Yates Garcia and Nick Dickinson are both excellent choices for this reason 🌈🌈🌈
Thank you for considering!! 🌈💚🌈

Less structure on the show, embrace the chaos.
Glad that Steven jumped in for the phone lovers and Matt said there’s hope as a long distance girl 👉🏻👈🏻 hehe whatever you’re comfortable with is okay ^-^
Honestly good job Ryan on that surprise phone call and talking cause ik I'm awful when it comes to surprise phone calls it really makes my heart beat like crazy 😭
Ryan, that's ASMR.
Duke's is the only answer in the south. I am surprised that you can get it out west though good for duke's 🎉
I knew someone had to have said this. I know people who WILL NOT eat any other mayo but Dukes. They will go without if they don’t have Dukes.
@LessThanSarah I either make my own or use dukes! Lol also my name is also Sarah spelled correctly
The massage talk was honestly very interesting and funny😂
I happen to be a Boogara, but Fisherman's Friend is common, and so is Duke's mayonnaise. Let my man Shane live ffs 😅
I Love you guys!
Team grape jelly here!
Also the correct kind of honey for PB sandwiches is whipped honey in a tub
OMG I JUST WOKE UP GETTING READY FOR WORK AND CANT BELIEVE THE EPISODE IS NAMED AFTER MY EMAIL!!!!! LOVE YALL MADE MY NIGHT!!!!
Dukes is one of the most popular mayo brands, with one of the most dedicated fan bases
The pride of Richmond VA! It’s got twang!
@@minivan_hobo I've seen commercials in MD
When I was in 4th or 5th grade we were doing some kind of project where we wrote about what we wanted to do when we grew up. We each met with the teacher to discuss the project and when I told her I wanted to be a writer she told me no, you have to pick a real job. NGL, it crushed my little spirit. I'm almost 40 and I still think about it.
I hate talking on the phone! I am fine if it's a business call, you know exactly what to say, right to the point. But when friends call and want to chat I find it so difficult to keep a conversation going. So much prefer a text where I can read when I am not busy, consider my reply, etc.
Idk if they ever went to the Washoe Club in Virginia City, NV but there apparently used to be a woman there who did Tarot cards and built a large house in Washoe Valley from the claim she and her husband had. I saw a picture from my Physical Therapist who is into that of a phantom and saw the same phantom in a picture the guide had when we went back recently to tour again. I don’t usually try to go to those places cause it tends to invite spirits into your life in my opinion. If they are tricking people they are pretty good at it. I know Ghost Adventures has been there a ton might be interesting ghost tour to visit and it’s a Western town but small so maybe fun.
Like the mailbag song and the graphic 📫
13:55 Echo the Dolphin! I played that so much and honestly to this day have no idea what the point was or what I was doing 😂
What's weird for me is when I lived in SoCal, those month gave me the worst seasonal depression, and I think it was because that's when I was expecting the weather to get nice since that's normally when it warms up in Ohio.
Everyone understands the super smash reference 😆
My PB&J consists of jam instead of jelly. Strawberry specifically ! Also, toast with peanut butter and banana slices on em is top tier !
the whole caffeinated apple discussion was hilarious
The fried bologna was a real take…. I love fried bologna with breakfast in my grits or breakfast sandwich😩
i do raspberry jam for my pbj its thee best
Absolutely
This was a fun episode 😂. Calling out Ryan's embellishing stories, Shane's sandwich talk.
"3 months of dour weather." *Laughs in Portland*
Love how Wan just got involved in their freaky massage stories 😂
Hell yeah, some Elden Ring love.
The mustaches are giving mario and Luigi 😅❤
Not sure if anyone else commented about when y’all talked about Smash Bros., but I’m definitely a “Smash-head”! I did know what y’all were talking about and I honestly agree that Steven is Ness-coded. (By the way, it’s, “PK Fire,” and “PK Thunder,” not Pika 😭 so nice to hear Shane’s Pikachu impression, though!
reading my own tarot cards is like a little relazing ritual i do for myself & it can be fun to practice associating the themes with the different cards...wonder if ryan owns his own deck
Ryan, I'm a Boogara but I side with Shane on the Fisherman's Friend bit. I love it over mentos.
I have anxiety about talking on the phone too. Even with my family. Guess I'm a weirdo? Which is why I love you guys. Lmao!!! 🥰😂🥰😂
Omg no!!! Thats awful Shane! I'm a certified/licensed Massage Therapist and I remember having to do my clinic hours on campus and anyone could sign up and come in for a limited time and we had like 5 people massaging in one room, but we had rolling partitions that swung open to make makeshirt doors and the rest were tied together to make the "walls" for the "rooms". BUT WE ALL HAD TABLES 😭 You poor thing, that's so unsanitary, uncomfortable and you can't get proper alignment at all that way. I'm so sorry for your experiences, guys! But LOL 🤣
I can listen to them talk about hot salad all day 🤣
Lol! That honey massage 😂
connected with ryan a bit too much about freaking out when your hands are sticky, if my hands are sticky and i’m not able to immediately clean them i absolutely shut down, like tears and everything
I would love to do a reading for y'all!
I remember being told apples by a health teacher than apples have a little caffeine! def not as much as a cup of coffee but enough to not be totally negligible.
Hahah, they just told us they're recording this on Monday morning. I wonder if it's the same time each week? Because you're probably going to get a lot more live calls 😂
I love you guys, your shows are wonderful.
I use tarot, but for personal readings. I'm not a professional, but I wanted to add my two cents.
For a tarot reading, from a true tarot reader, they don't need to know anything about your past. You should just be able to ask a question, they give you a reading, explaining to you what the card(s) means. Some don't even need you to tell them your question, as long as you're focusing on it during the read.
For example, I did a reading for myself the other day. I asked a question, wanting to know how a particular event was going to play out that day. I drew the Two of Cups, which meant there was going to be a mutual agreement of some kind, which I didn't see happening. But it turned out to be true, just not the way I imagined it.
There's no one way to use tarot cards. Not every question requires a past, present, and future card. Some can be yes or no questions. There's a huge variety of tarot spreads you can find online, and some people create their own.
If you ever did decide to talk to a professional tarot reader, I'd recommend Deborah Blake. She's a lovely woman, witch, author, and tarot reader. Just wanted to throw that suggestion out there in case you truly intended to have a witch on your show one day. 😉
I grew up hating peanut butter, I didn’t like the smell or thickness at all. So I remember my favorite sandwich to get in my preschool lunch my mom would pack was specifically pepperoni and mayo on a hot dog bun. As an adult I’m a sucker for a good Italian sandwich with capicola and salami and all the fixings. Funnily enough I actually don’t mind peanut butter so much now but not to the point I seek it out. Probably thanks to reese’s😂
I have also been on my pb&j era. Almost one every day 😋
For some reason I only have phone anxiety when I’m calling/ receiving calls from people I know. It’s fine with complete strangers like customer service lines and stuff.
and during saturn retrograde, yes boys yes timing
This is a true story. Back in the late 90's, my life had little direction. I wasn't make a lot of money. I did not have a girlfriend. Life was pretty stagnate. I was watching a movie where an old woman cast bones then read them. It pecked my interest. The internet was not like it is today, but there were still sites on runestones. I bought a set of runestones and a couple of books. After reading, I took a piece of leather and made a throwing mat from it. For my first and only question, I asked if I would ever met a girl and get married. I 'cast' the stones upon the leather mat which had bunch of circles drawn on the leather where the books said to place them. I read the stones on the mat after the casting. The answer was yes, in like 2 to 5 years, I would met a girl and get married. Afterwards, I put the stones in the bag and put them away. I thought, that was fun, not going to happen. 2 1/2 years later, I went to a friends house warming party. There were a few single woman there. A few days later, my life so I agreed to a blind date. I had been on several blind dates before, they had never ended good. Not only did we hit it off, 3 months later I proposed. 22 years and we still happily married. I thought about the runestones a few years after we married. I looked for them but they were lost somewhere in us moving in together. Was it all a coincidence? Perhaps, but I think back now and wonder.
why is everyone hating on the tarot topic THEY DO SUPERNATURAL CONTENT💀 y’all are weird and uneducated lmao
okay i hear you on the toasted sandwiches but if you’re ever in colorado again, you have to go to cheba hut :)
So with Ryan on the phone thing. I’ve told people that I will not answer their calls so they shouldn’t bother calling me. I struggle to hear people completely over the phone, have anxiety, and I hate talking on the phone out in public. It’s just a losing situation to me. I hate it. My phone’s on do not disturb if I’m not at work.
Matt talking about the Witchcraft stuff reminded me of Donnie Darko, surely the movie nerd bois know that gem
Ryan and I are on the same sandwich and jam train
pretty sure apples are an IBS trigger, maybe ryan should look into IBS symptoms lmao
Ryan, Shane, and Steven should go on the show Brian David Gilbert does w/ Ify
Just to be clear Shane is always in the right
PK FIRE! 🔥
The massage stories 😂
