Same for me. I'm the only girl in our friend group, and even though we have a sibling bond, they would never give me lingerie as a "prank." It's just so weird.
For real! That was vile to do to the girlfriend, and then he invited her out to talk after she broke up with him, to tell her they should break up 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 Bro....... you and Claire got creepy shit going on, you got caught, and now you want to try "You didn't fire me yesterday, because I quit today" ? 😆😆😆😆😆
Oh you must just not have reached the all-knowing age of TWENTY-EIGHT yet. 🙄 Honestly, that, “You’ll understand when you mature,” shit is the most frustrating part of that story.
I clogged my bf's toilet when we were together for like 1 month. I was mortified and had to tell him because like the story, the water started rising. I called over my bf almost crying and he came in and I told him that my poop wouldn't flush and that I was mortified. He started laughing but was also so sweet at the same time. He tried to unclog the toilet to no avail so he had to tell his mom, which made me freak out even more. He took the fall for me and told his mom HE clogged the toilet again, she just answered annoyed and said "again??". 1,5 years later we're still going strong.
The lamp story reminds me about a post where a woman said that every girl needs a huge metal sword so they can walk around the house carrying it and feeling powerful and confident
My dream one day is to find someone to mentor me in blacksmithing and do this. Have a bunch of hand forged swords I can wield while I hang out around the house.
Oh, well I'm set then, because I have a 3-foot bastard sword. I didn't make it myself, but it IS a pretty sweet sword. :) ...now to get a house with enough space so I can walk around with the sword without constantly knocking everything over...
I love how Damien is always the voice of temperance and reason. I feel like he's someone who'd just make the best friend (or partner, in that case). He always seems to have well thought out, compassionate input without being overly patronizing or feeding into bad behavior.
@@radhiadeedou8286 Depending on the person, playing along a bit before bringing up the topic could for sure help with it feeling less harsh. Would for sure not work with everyone
Laughing is always how I've cheered up my wife. So, during her labor, I was cracking jokes or rubbing her back. While she started to push and the room was looking for the baby's head, I said, " Old friend, I don't even recognize you anymore." My wife laughed thankfully, the nurse broke and had to look away. The doctor was zoned in, thankful. 😅
When my best friend was giving birth I kept singing salt n peppa Push It! 😹 she thought it was awesome and appreciated the cheerleading. As someone who uses comedy in stressful situations and who likes Age of Empires I thought the husbands commentary was awesome but I guess you have to read the room and know your audience
It’s a fine balance between humor to light things up and respect and silence to allow the poor woman in pain to focus. My husband is the funny type also and that helped a lot during labor, but he was also crucial with other things (like fanning me for 3hs so I wouldn’t through up) so I’m guessing maybe the guy in the story wasn’t as strong with the helping as he thought he was with the funny.
Im glad Ian disagreed with that toxic positivity comment about "if you have confidence, those comments wont effect you." To me, having confidence means you can move on easier from nasty comments etc rather than not being effected by them in the first place. I had therapy to "stop being so emotional" and realised that actually, the emotions were valid, I just needed to release them healthier and in a way that meant I could easily snap back to how I was before. An upset would wipe me out for DAYS and now it wipes me out for maybr an hour max, usually only 15 minutes. When I learnt who I was, suddenly insults etc bounced off me and if any got through, it was out of my mind later that day. Whereas before, I'd have dwelled on it for HOURS.
Yes! I'm with Shayne with it's not the fact that you have to like it. You have to accept it. In the most neutral sense of the word. It's not easy, but way healthier in the long run.
Damien: “In these situations you just need to ask “how can I best support you right now? Do you need a distraction, to vent, or a solution?” Anyone who gets to marry this man is the luckiest person in the WORLD
Honestly, I bet they switch out who are up doing odd nonsense. Did you see the clip Courtney posted of tiktok of her workshipping a walk and telling Shayne to film? Adorable!
I was recently gifted a small lantern. I wanted to go around the house saying, " The night is dark and full of terrors." Now that this guy has done it already, it's not going to be that special 🥺
9:42 I love the way both Ian and Damien smile at the same time when they hear the girl said “I have a boyfriend who makes me feel beautiful now”. That’s so genuine and sweet to see.
Damien making a split second decision whether or not to explain what "Castrado" means after Ian said it gives me so much joy. You can see the inner monologue on his face.
I genuinely think one of the saddest things about modern love is how low the bar is “they have never been bad to me””they have never hurt me nor yelled at me”
How is that unique to modern love though? I mean think of how extremely low the bar has been for centuries? That bar being ‘oh they can provide’ and thats it, people put up with the most emotionally, psychologically, physically, abusive people out there because their parents or society deemed it was worth it for the financial benefits
Historically speaking, actually a high bar, and we should celebrate how normalized it is! IPV is still way too high imo, so while I understand that feels like a low bar, it's good to call attention to and celebrate it.
It’s wild that people called Ian “the ugly one.” Both he and Anthony are attractive, they’re just different fonts. Just because someone isn’t your type doesn’t mean they’re ugly. It’s sad that people have the nerve to say such things when the person can see it.
I don't think he was ever called the ugly one. It was more of fans saying Ian's the funny one and Anthony's the hot one. This made both of them very annoyed
From his "Must be nice, Shayne" comment to the nostalgia-inducing memory of blowing on old game cartridges is exactly why we all love Damien so much. Also, the Shayne, Ian Damien combo slays
@@DaisyElf508 i think you’re right and he said “you can’t control your voice” with the cadence of “you SHOULDN’T control your voice if you believe in an honest relationship.”
Is no one going to mention that in the red lingerie story, the op broke up with him, he then asked to meet up with her and in that conversation he decided to break up with her because of "her insecurities" even though she had already broken up with him!
oh glad someone else clocked that! yeah it reeks of "um you aren't dumping me, I'm dumping you actually!" and it's so insecure. Also it speaks volumes that he valued his relationship with Claire over his current girlfriend, so much so that Claire apparently was also in favor of him dumping his girlfriend? My thought is that Claire and the boyfriend both held a candle out for each other, and the lingerie was a way to test the waters and see how receptive they were to each other all the while writing it off as an "inside joke." And once the girlfriend showed any amount of disapproval, they turned that against her and made it seem like she was the bad guy in all of this. I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if after the break up, he and Claire started going out immediately.
I bet that that group of friends are toxic to those outside their circle. One thing happened and now everyone's onto her. What a bunch of mature people. Imagine being 28 and still act like that.
I had an ex who while I was trying to break up with her, told me "no, we're still together" and its one of the most confusing and unsettling things I've heard someone say to my face. Some people think they can literally decide if someone gets to leave them or not and even if you tell them "we are not together, I will not do things with you. If you keep trying to contact me I'll go to the police" they will refuse to acknowledge the possibility
Best Prank I ever pulled was to convince many friends to leave pennies randomly at a mutual friend's house. The rule was if you went to hide a penny and one was there you had to stack it on the other. It was harmless and free money lol We eventually told him when he was one day just like "Dude, I keep finding pennies everywhere! They're falling from my doors, piled up in weird places. It's so weird." He wasn't freaking out just kind of 'telling a story' kind of way. We all cracked and lost it, owning up to it. Still funny to this day.
OK, that's one of those most adorable pranks i've ever heard of, akin to my friends playing "the clothespin game" (wherein you try to sneak a clothespin into the front side of someone else's clothes without them catching you).
I really think we need to normalize what Damien said about asking how someone needs to be supported. Asking if they want solutions, a person to just listen, etc is one of the best ways to know how to help someone. I feel like there is so much pressure to know the way someone wants to be supported automatically that I often get it wrong and end up pissing them off instead
This! I'm autistic like Damien and it's one of those tools I think everyone should learn no matter how good you are at reading people. You're still not a mind reader!
@@hernameispekka_Rebecca agree! My hubs is also autistic, and it’s something he asked me right from the start. It was so funny to me that he was so concerned with how poor his communication can be, when he’s more in tune with that side of himself than most people. Obviously this is a tool he learned and took him time to get to where he is, but it’s something I think of as well now and it’s so helpful!
I’ve done this with one of my friends, and asked them what they wanted, because they seemed to start going into a rant. And they said they just wanted to rant, so I did just listen and gave comments in the end. It seemed to help.
100% agree. In particular, i've had a lot of conversations with femme friends who got angry with their cis male friends/fathers/partners over this. A lot of men are socialized that when someone brings them a problem, their job is to fix it, whereas quite often what people need, to start at least, is affirmation of their feelings. Asking for clarification is a great way to make sure you're on the right page.
I really hope so. I was just about to comment how handsome he looks with his beard and I like his slowly improved style as well 😄 Also how tf is his skin so glowy and young looking. I swear this man ages backwards or doesn't age at all. Give us your skincare tips, Ian! 😊
Honestly, and this might be just me, but I really think they switched positions and Ian became the "hot one" Not that their value is equal to their appearance, they're both amazing people (from what I can tell as a viewer)
Best comment about that situation and best and most creative solution to stop him from roaming around with the lantern at night!!! 😂 Omg!! How does your comment not have thousands of likes? 😆❤️
Damien’s response at 1:01:27 was SO relatable and was literally what went through my head when Shayne said he hasn’t clogged a toilet in a long time 😂😂
I did but felt like I was supposed to like Anthony more because of sibling peer pressure. (I felt a lot of shame for my crushes as a kid for various reasons I didn't process until a lot later.) Any time I would say my fave boy band member etc, she would act like I was an absolute freak lol
I remember Courtney saying he was their bias as well as a teen (before working there). I didn't watch back then but I always went for the more "button down sweet one" in my teens so I'm pretty sure I would have also gone for Ian back then. They were both cute and still are. Just different "genres" of cute!
I have IBS, if I literally destroyed a man's bathroom and he still wanted to date me, I would get on my knee and propose to that man. He's a keeper and since she brought him new towels, so is she. I hope they marry each other.
Guuuurl...the first time I stayed over at my bf's place I clogged the toilet, but it's a mobile home toilet, which are notoriously prone to clogging, and it ain't the first time I've done that. The plunger wasn't working, so I taught him the bucket trick. Or as Call the Midwife says, "High, hot, and a helluva lot!" (I know they were talking about enemas, but that's what pops into my head, lol) I've clogged my besties toilet twice, in two different residences, and there were circumstances that led to both that were beyond my control, so it was simply bad luck. I had to mop shitty water off the floor over and over wringing out a single paper towel like a sponge because she's a germaphobe and they had no more paper towels. Embarrassing af, and I have chronic back pain, so it really friggin hurt, but it's not worth ending either relationship over. I did buy myself a crazy pressurized air plunger set though. Plus, I now do the first flush almost immediately, lol. I can understand both sides of that one as bowel problems are something societally we treat with shame and as taboo, which is ridiculous because it's something that everyone does! Even people with ostomies deal with poop, just in a little different way. It is one of the nearly universal traits of being a complex lifeform! What is there to be embarrassed about or ashamed of? Feel bad? Sure, it feels bad to disrupt someone's life with one of your most vulnerable functions, but no decent person, especially one who cares for you, is going to yell at you or make fun of you for it. As they said, shit happens. Thankfully my two besties and I all have various ibs problems and we all text from the toilet and as I'm medically knowledgeable one of them is always asking me crazy stuff, but yo, if you can't talk to your bestie or partner about those things, who can you?
Ian is genuinely so fucking handsome and with the logic that he is really attractive and still called the ugly one OP should know that she isn't ugly at all
I don't think Ian is called the ugly one. It's just Anthony is called the hot one and Ian the funny one because we have to be put in a box. Nobody can be funny and attractive except Shayne because he's divergent.
19:49 your point about realistic self acceptance is really important Shayne. Like my entire life I knew I wasn’t skinny and people thought “skinny is the best standard” so as a comfort people pretended I was. Like how about “mid-size queen” - I’m not skinny, but I’m still attractive and I don’t care about it.
Shayne: "No, I don't really get much use out of my psychology degree." also Shayne: "The real center of this story is op's relationship with themself."
Damien is truly one of the most insighful people I've ever heard. He is genuine and thoughful. Always taking the time to look at each situation from as many angles as possible. Throw in the fact that he is truly funny and endearingly nerdy...?...? Literally makes my heart beat faster.❤❤
Came to say something similar! Every video I have seen him in, I think to myself I could be friends with this guy. Ian too! Damien is his own person and is a great example of a good human. I love it. The banter with these fellas I tell ya. Spot of greatness.
@@cvf253I like to think I could be friends with Damien but honestly I think I'd be too nervous to speak to him because he's basically just the person I want to be. Like I desperately need some of that confidence and self respect (and maybe also some of that jawline 😭💀)
I always appreciate the Reddit Stories that involve Damien and Ian since they provide a realistic, and honest, take on the stories. Don't get me wrong, I love every cast member on the stories, but it just hits home for me when it's these two (and Courtney). Thank you for always providing us with a dose of happiness every Saturday morning.
Also Arasha. Sure she jokes around a lot, but she is SO real. There have been moments where Arasha said something so profound that I had to pause and think
The gas Damien is talking about at 56:01 is sulfur hexafluoride. It's basically the opposite of helium, being six times heavier than air instead of six times lighter. It's non-toxic, but because it's heavier, it can settle in your lungs and displace all the oxygen if you breathe too much of it, so it's not recommended that you try the voice-changing effect at home. Thank you, random piece of trivia I learned from Mythbusters like 20 years ago! XD
Lingerie Story: Hearing Claire's reaction to the situation was the most wild part to me. I'm the "female best friend" to a couple people in relationships, and while I'll make the occasional risque joke to these friends, it's ONLY if their partners are comfortable with it. If their partners aren't okay with it, I respect that and don't make those kinds of jokes- simple as that. I rather be on good terms with my friends' partners if I can help it, as they're important to my friend. If I found out my friend wanted to buy me lingerie and it made their partner uncomfortable? I'd probably be apologizing over and over to the partner, while having a stern conversation with my friend about how that wasn't cool. So hearing Claire tell her that you need to get over it is wild and just screams "pick me" energy.
Also the fact that he said "Claire and I talked and we don't like how you're making us out like cheaters" like who cares what Claire thinks your girlfriend is uncomfortable and you're choosing another woman. Claire is going to ruin a lot of relationships for him she sounds like the type of girl who doesn't want to date this guy who is clearly in to her but she will always try to make sure she's a priority over any girl he dates and it sounds like Kyle is in the same boat with the stuff he said about Claire. They both should distance from her if they ever want to get married or have a family and stop waiting for her to "settle" for one of them
What do you mean “and if it made their partner uncomfortable?” what partner wouldn’t be uncomfortable in that situation? and the risky jokes, who wouldn’t be uncomfortable with those either? why make those types of jokes with someone who’s already in a relationship? that’s weird; no matter what
@@ariannayoung1528different people have different senses of humour. dont assume the jokes are creepy, just assume that OP knows their friends well enough to make jokes that will be laughed at, but if their friends partners dont find it funny, OP wont make the jokes.
@@bleedingcowboys7147 yep it's exactly like that. Different folks have different senses of humor and comfort levels. Plus there's the whole element of trust you have in your partner. If you are in a relationship built on trust and good communication, it tends to makes folks more chill about that stuff.
I love that they picked the story about youtube and being "the ugly one" etc. I feel like it's a rather niche amount of people that could answer that from prolonged experience! I hope that person sees this
"This isnt an issue because Im doing it openly in front of you" is also why a lot of kids dont realise theres domestic abuse in the home unril years later. Thats how shit gets normalised. I understand the sentiment but it is not an absolute nor a get out of jail free card.
So the idea of the red lingerie prank was "she has a thing with the colour red" OK, so why couldn't be literally anything on the planet that's red? The lingerie absolutely plays a part in this somehow and....come on.
He said it was their college days meaning did he see her or accidently walk in on her or something of that sort. Did they have a thing before and now just friends? ALOT of questions.
The combination of trauma, lingerie and the colour red makes me think, this has to be some sort of "period accident" from college, which you know really mature joke for him to make
@@jennifervaughn2466they were both pretty adamant it wasn’t a trauma thing, so it could be anything. One of my best friends decided one year to boycott the color blue for reasons she admitted later were really stupid (it was during those tween years when you want to be the most special, and she thought blue was too common). We tease her about it sometimes now, but the lingerie aspect makes absolutely no sense for what the OP was told.
@@firefly10241 exactly what i was thinking.... like referring to their college days definitely made it sound like its not JUST about the color red but about the lingerie itself as if he saw her in it one way or another
"You can't control your voice." - Damien Haas, Professional Voice Actor 😆 (I know what he meant and I agree with him, just thought it was an amusing quote)
Yes Shane!!!! Accepting that I’m ugly made it hurt a lot less when other people said it. When I started to gain weight and voice it and people were like “you’re not fat, you’re beautiful”. You can be both, just like you can be ugly and thin. Accept what you have or change what you don’t like into what you do like and then you’ll be fine
I love Damien’s brain. He’s such a great addition to Shayne’s psychology degree, they feed off each other in the best way. Both funny and thoughtful 🙏🏻
For story 2, I feel like it’s really being overlooked that she was the target of an organized harassment campaign by incels? Like the body positivity stuff is all good to keep in mind but if you’re being targeted it’s still gonna fuck you up no matter how much self confidence you got
Yes I agree completely. I feel like the guys missed the mark on this. You can take the most confident person in the world but that level of organized targeted harassment will destroy anyone.
I think they absolutely nailed this issue cause it does not Matter If it incels or Not its out of their control. The only way to tackle it is If it does not affect you they have all experienced this Shit and worked their way through it.
That was my theory as well. Or I think at the least they slept together a minimum of one time and they have this quirky “inside joke” now that only they know about.
18:37 this is how I feel when I make a joke about being fat, and someone comes out with the, “OMG DON’T SAY THAT ABOUT YOURSELF! YOU’RE BEAUTIFUL!!” Like, are you for real?? I never said I was ugly or stupid or gross. I said I was fat. Which is both true and not a comment on how I FEEL about myself. I know I’m hot. I’m also smart and funny and a lot qualities that are appealing to people. I’m also overweight. Never did I say anything denigrating about myself, just something that is true. When you accept yourself fully for the truth of who and what you are, it’s the most invincible feeling you can have. It’s also the most telling to how OTHER people look at themselves and the people around them. Being fully accepting of your own flaws is like putting up a mirror to the rest of the world’s insecurities.
duuuude fucking same. I've gotten better about not disparaging myself about my weight, but even when i WOULD be lamenting about it and someone would respond "no! you're beautiful!!" i would still reply "i said i was fat, not that i was ugly. they're not mutually exclusive."
@@ronandoyle827 bro, and it’s always something that is a legitimate annoyance about being overweight, too. Not even on a comment on myself, but a joke about something super specific that’s a symptom of being overweight.
I prefer the term fluffy lol, but yes. Also overweight. I was raised around a LOT of fat phobia. So, yes,for many it sounds like an insult. We are still learning to accept ourselves.
this^ also when people insist that you "Arent fat" when you say you are. its one thing when someone is genuinely not fat, but I literally just saw a conversation in a chat i was in where person one was like 'im fat' and everyone rushes to be like 'no youre not!!!' and the first person responds with '...im literally 450lbs' and everyone is immediately like 'youre not fat' 'youre just chubby' 'yah chubby is a cute word' sometimes people are just fat and thats okay (coming from a fat person)
What a great group of distinguished gentlemen. Thank you guys for making these types of videos. It helps me think before I act/speak and puts things in perspective.. like spreading negativity doesn’t help anyone, or make anything better. It just helps my self awareness, and I’m grateful for it.
@@ElenHalls this phrase came from aave and said commonly among black women. (Or trans women) However it's reached mass usage because of TikTok and also it's really accurat when it comes to pinpointing a situation that could have been missed. I can guess it's arasha (or Courtney) who brought the phrase to the Smosh cast because she does use aave on here and it just started to spread. 😂
@@keychains5806 unless this is a different usage from TikTok, the phrase "clocked it" being used to mean to notice something has been around since the 40s. I know about its usage on the trans community to mean specifically to notice that someone is trans, but that doesn't mean it's not still an appropriate verb to use in other contexts??? Why is this a thing worth mentioning????
This trio is amazing.. I know Damien can find it harder to vibe with certain humans but I feel like Ian and Shayne are not one of them. The hysterical laughter from Shayne and Damien with Ian sitting there not getting the joke is so funny 😂😂😂
What the h*ck ૮꒰ “ . . ꒱ა I literally just clicked on this video and started scrolling through comments and specifically this one has a thumbs down from me that was totally not me!! I love Damien haha
Shayne's take on body positivity/neutrality is soooo refreshing. People lose their mind when someone states that maybe you don't need to be the beauty standard or easily sexualized to be worthy of respect and dignity. Specially when you say this about women, lol.
tbh it was so nice to hear about their opinions on negative comments “ugly one” story- i’ve been getting a bunch of negative comments recently and hearing their opinions made me feel better and may help me change my mindset on them
I've had people tell me I needed plastic surgery before and tell me they couldn't date me because certain parts of my body aren't good enough. Here's the kicker, these were people that I rejected telling me this stuff. I just told them, "Good for you, I don't care," and walked away.😎
One of the things I love most about the Reddit spots is how deep the though the guests give to the issue. It is like a real discussion my friends and I would have about these. And I watch these with my teenage daughters because I think it shows a true reaction from female AND male presenting folks that I hope are real and honest and should be expected.
When Damien imitated saying "is Shayne in the video game too" I could see the funeral roast when Shayne was a JoJo stand and said "finally, my coat tails can fly free" in his eyes 🤣
Love that the three of you talk so respectfully and compassionately about the feelings and struggles of two very young women. Of cause it should be normal. But unfortunately it is not. Keep up the good work 👍
ig that makes sense in her defense, but the comments were being way too aggressive towards OP. He said he was nervous and panicked, that's like a coping mechanism to be jokey in serious situations. Not saying he shouldn't apologize, but calling him immature and selfish is waaaaay too far. He even clarified that he wasn't going through a fraction of what his wife was, and people were agreeing that he was self centered and childish?!!?
@@virgil2461Ikr! I feel like they gave him too much flak for it. As a woman who uses humour to cope with pain, I would have laughed so hard I would have popped out a non-existent twin
Just when I think I can’t love Damien more, he says something that is just so thoughtful or funny! When I have friends that are stressed or need help/support I ask the same thing, do you want a distraction, advice or just to rant; it’s been on the best things I’ve learned!
Love you three! Really impressed with how welp spoken you all voiced your experiences and opinions surrounding online criticism. I’m sorry for any/all you’ve experienced yourself!
Man I was just thinking about how I needed something to listen to while I draw! To anyone who's reading this, I hope you're having a wonderful [INSERT TIME OF DAY]. Please try to take care of yourself, eat and drink something if you haven't done that in a couple hours, and if you're feeling really gross and sucky for seemingly no reason, try to shower! I know it sounds like a cliche, but even just going outside for a brief walk for a few minutes can make the world seem just a bit brighter. Have a good one, you guys got this!
Oh my gosh the bathroom one! I have major GI issues and have since childhood. I didn’t feel comfortable with any person I was in a relationship with to disclose it and suffered for years for it. When I met my now-husband though, that changed immediately. I was so comfortable with him from the day we met that I never had to make up excuses or hide what was happening to my body. And he loves and cares for me so deeply, he never judges or makes me feel ashamed for it. Get you someone you can be that comfortable with, and better yet, BE the person someone else can be that comfortable with. Similar to a comment you made in the video, my sister had a stroke on her first date with her now husband. Stuff like that bonds you!
What Shayne said about being short.. I felt this but I grew up fat. My friends always said “nooooo you’re not fat, you’re beautiful!” like I can’t be both? I know I’m fat. I also know I’m beautiful. I didnt want people telling me I wasn’t fat it made it so much worse
As a fat adult, people still do this 🫠 It’s not that hard to say nothing. People Saying “oh no, you’re not” is showing me that people are uncomfortable with me addressing my fatness. It can depend how you say it tho! Like if someone says “oh no I’m so fat” that’s obviously a different story. Regardless people need to start equating fatness to badness!
Two things here: One is that you have prescribed being a lil fat as an independent event to being beautiful, and unfortunately the world hasn't yet accepted that fully. Secondly, I'm inclined to agree with the world view if and only if you are medically obese and in danger of various health risks associated with it (like me actually)
"Not sure why you're worried. He literally said all is well." I love that lmao
made me cackle way too loud at my job
Totally missed that he also frequently says “the night is full of horrors.”
@bryantmoore7117 no, he says "the night is dark and full of terrors"
So confident.

As a girl with a few close guy friends, if ANY of them bought lingerie for me, I’d be so uncomfortable and freaked out. Thats CRAZY
I'm a guy with a handful of female friends and I couldn't imagine thinking that was an okay gift
Same for me. I'm the only girl in our friend group, and even though we have a sibling bond, they would never give me lingerie as a "prank." It's just so weird.
For real! That was vile to do to the girlfriend, and then he invited her out to talk after she broke up with him, to tell her they should break up 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

The guy who faked his voice should meet up with that girl who faked a British accent for 12 years, they’d love each other
😂
And both of them should meet up with Clinton Kane
I’m so glad you said this because I was thinking the same thing (but I wasn’t sure where I remembered that story from)
Wait which story was that
Man that was so many Reddit stories ago
I clogged my bf's toilet when we were together for like 1 month. I was mortified and had to tell him because like the story, the water started rising. I called over my bf almost crying and he came in and I told him that my poop wouldn't flush and that I was mortified. He started laughing but was also so sweet at the same time.

Oh, well I'm set then, because I have a 3-foot bastard sword. I didn't make it myself, but it IS a pretty sweet sword. :)
...now to get a house with enough space so I can walk around with the sword without constantly knocking everything over...
Brother what 💀🤣
swords are literally metal tangs with a grip and pommel what else would it be
I love how Damien is always the voice of temperance and reason. I feel like he's someone who'd just make the best friend (or partner, in that case). He always seems to have well thought out, compassionate input without being overly patronizing or feeding into bad behavior.

It is genuinely so comforting to hear men who are emotionally mature talk about these topics
Totally 😊
big agree
I'm just in love with Damian's way of thinking, when he came up with the watchman's wife thing, brilliant yet thoughtful and kind
There's no way that would work
@@radhiadeedou8286 might not but I love that he's that genuine and kind, just like innocent ❤️ love him so much

Im in love with Damian
Damien is an insightful dude. Except when it comes to fist bumps.
Laughing is always how I've cheered up my wife. So, during her labor, I was cracking jokes or rubbing her back. While she started to push and the room was looking for the baby's head, I said, " Old friend, I don't even recognize you anymore." My wife laughed thankfully, the nurse broke and had to look away. The doctor was zoned in, thankful. 😅
KUDOS to that doctor! Love that your wife laughed, I'm sure that nurse will remember you too haha
This is so fucking funny!!
It's all perspective. Time will add that sometimes,too.
When my best friend was giving birth I kept singing salt n peppa Push It! 😹 she thought it was awesome and appreciated the cheerleading. As someone who uses comedy in stressful situations and who likes Age of Empires I thought the husbands commentary was awesome but I guess you have to read the room and know your audience
It’s a fine balance between humor to light things up and respect and silence to allow the poor woman in pain to focus. My husband is the funny type also and that helped a lot during labor, but he was also crucial with other things (like fanning me for 3hs so I wouldn’t through up) so I’m guessing maybe the guy in the story wasn’t as strong with the helping as he thought he was with the funny.
Went from being excited for saturday morning cartoons to now, as an adult, excited for saturday morning reddit stories.

ACCURATE

Im glad Ian disagreed with that toxic positivity comment about "if you have confidence, those comments wont effect you." To me, having confidence means you can move on easier from nasty comments etc rather than not being effected by them in the first place.
I had therapy to "stop being so emotional" and realised that actually, the emotions were valid, I just needed to release them healthier and in a way that meant I could easily snap back to how I was before. An upset would wipe me out for DAYS and now it wipes me out for maybr an hour max, usually only 15 minutes. When I learnt who I was, suddenly insults etc bounced off me and if any got through, it was out of my mind later that day. Whereas before, I'd have dwelled on it for HOURS.
Yes! I'm with Shayne with it's not the fact that you have to like it. You have to accept it. In the most neutral sense of the word. It's not easy, but way healthier in the long run.
Damien: “In these situations you just need to ask “how can I best support you right now? Do you need a distraction, to vent, or a solution?”

I was recently gifted a small lantern. I wanted to go around the house saying, " The night is dark and full of terrors." Now that this guy has done it already, it's not going to be that special 🥺
Well, you can choose a spot in your yard to walk to with the lantern every single evening at the same time!

Be careful. Your SO might acquire some big ass moths per Damien's advice.
9:42 I love the way both Ian and Damien smile at the same time when they hear the girl said “I have a boyfriend who makes me feel beautiful now”. That’s so genuine and sweet to see.
“Produced her unit” is such a crazy phrase to use for pushing out a baby 😂
Very Ian though
Like she laid an egg 😂
Just adding to the small council
Right? Like how big was this baby? 😂
"i never was in a relationship before" said in front of the 2 guys that were on Ian's 2 truths one lie video is WILD
CRAZYY considering the way they both were fuming in that episode 💀
Thats the joke ❤
"Oh we know" 😂
Another bummer, another bummer from Ian Hecox from Defy
Where Ian made us all die inside by being a doofus 😂
Damien making a split second decision whether or not to explain what "Castrado" means after Ian said it gives me so much joy. You can see the inner monologue on his face.
Time stamp pls

I genuinely think one of the saddest things about modern love is how low the bar is “they have never been bad to me””they have never hurt me nor yelled at me”
How is that unique to modern love though? I mean think of how extremely low the bar has been for centuries? That bar being ‘oh they can provide’ and thats it, people put up with the most emotionally, psychologically, physically, abusive people out there because their parents or society deemed it was worth it for the financial benefits
@@GuineaPigEverydayit's not a thing about it being only a modern thing but more that it should be better
Historically speaking, actually a high bar, and we should celebrate how normalized it is! IPV is still way too high imo, so while I understand that feels like a low bar, it's good to call attention to and celebrate it.
Yeah, it’s not just modern love, that’s Stone Age love. My mom lives like this, compatibility out the door
As opposed to what?
It’s wild that people called Ian “the ugly one.” Both he and Anthony are attractive, they’re just different fonts. Just because someone isn’t your type doesn’t mean they’re ugly. It’s sad that people have the nerve to say such things when the person can see it.
Don't know if this was on purpose, but I love that you used both "font" and "type" to make your point
no fr anthony is definitely more my type but ian is also attractive. i actually don’t think smosh has an unattractive person there lmao
Agreed, Daddy Ian is HOT! Especially if you go back to the “Spelling Bee-Kini Wax”, and when he gets waxed, without his glasses…
I don't think he was ever called the ugly one. It was more of fans saying Ian's the funny one and Anthony's the hot one. This made both of them very annoyed
its funny how anthony more bothered people call ian the funny one than ian being bothered people call anthony the pretty one 😂
From his "Must be nice, Shayne" comment to the nostalgia-inducing memory of blowing on old game cartridges is exactly why we all love Damien so much. Also, the Shayne, Ian Damien combo slays
50:32 Damian saying “you can’t control your voice.” while being a voice actor is peak comedy to me 😂😂
And also anyone can. Speech therapists can be very helpful for a lot of people
He probably meant what your natural speaking voice is.

Is no one going to mention that in the red lingerie story, the op broke up with him, he then asked to meet up with her and in that conversation he decided to break up with her because of "her insecurities" even though she had already broken up with him!
What a mature 28 year old man 🙄
very much “you can’t fire me, i quit!” vibes from him
oh glad someone else clocked that! yeah it reeks of "um you aren't dumping me, I'm dumping you actually!" and it's so insecure. Also it speaks volumes that he valued his relationship with Claire over his current girlfriend, so much so that Claire apparently was also in favor of him dumping his girlfriend? My thought is that Claire and the boyfriend both held a candle out for each other, and the lingerie was a way to test the waters and see how receptive they were to each other all the while writing it off as an "inside joke." And once the girlfriend showed any amount of disapproval, they turned that against her and made it seem like she was the bad guy in all of this. I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if after the break up, he and Claire started going out immediately.
I bet that that group of friends are toxic to those outside their circle. One thing happened and now everyone's onto her. What a bunch of mature people. Imagine being 28 and still act like that.
I had an ex who while I was trying to break up with her, told me "no, we're still together" and its one of the most confusing and unsettling things I've heard someone say to my face. Some people think they can literally decide if someone gets to leave them or not and even if you tell them "we are not together, I will not do things with you. If you keep trying to contact me I'll go to the police" they will refuse to acknowledge the possibility
37:16 exactly! She was like "hey this makes me uncomfortable" and the dude straight up went "well I guess you're gonna be uncomfortable"
Rude af
Best Prank I ever pulled was to convince many friends to leave pennies randomly at a mutual friend's house. The rule was if you went to hide a penny and one was there you had to stack it on the other. It was harmless and free money lol
We eventually told him when he was one day just like "Dude, I keep finding pennies everywhere! They're falling from my doors, piled up in weird places. It's so weird." He wasn't freaking out just kind of 'telling a story' kind of way. We all cracked and lost it, owning up to it. Still funny to this day.
OK, that's one of those most adorable pranks i've ever heard of, akin to my friends playing "the clothespin game" (wherein you try to sneak a clothespin into the front side of someone else's clothes without them catching you).
@scottwiggins1410 That's fcking hilarious 😂 and the pure confusion of WTF is happening?!?!?!
Omg, that'd be art to witness!
That's that shit that you tell your grandkids, and they try to do to their friends 💕
The prank story and the way they are reacting to it is giving me big deja vu

I really think we need to normalize what Damien said about asking how someone needs to be supported. Asking if they want solutions, a person to just listen, etc is one of the best ways to know how to help someone. I feel like there is so much pressure to know the way someone wants to be supported automatically that I often get it wrong and end up pissing them off instead
This! I'm autistic like Damien and it's one of those tools I think everyone should learn no matter how good you are at reading people. You're still not a mind reader!
💯 I gotta remember to do this more often!
@@hernameispekka_Rebecca agree! My hubs is also autistic, and it’s something he asked me right from the start. It was so funny to me that he was so concerned with how poor his communication can be, when he’s more in tune with that side of himself than most people. Obviously this is a tool he learned and took him time to get to where he is, but it’s something I think of as well now and it’s so helpful!
I’ve done this with one of my friends, and asked them what they wanted, because they seemed to start going into a rant. And they said they just wanted to rant, so I did just listen and gave comments in the end. It seemed to help.
100% agree. In particular, i've had a lot of conversations with femme friends who got angry with their cis male friends/fathers/partners over this. A lot of men are socialized that when someone brings them a problem, their job is to fix it, whereas quite often what people need, to start at least, is affirmation of their feelings. Asking for clarification is a great way to make sure you're on the right page.

Ian MUST know how well he's aged... right? Man is 100% more attractive now, and he was never ugly, so I hope he knows he is by no means "the ugly one"
Only Ke$ha can heal this wound. 😆
I really hope so. I was just about to comment how handsome he looks with his beard and I like his slowly improved style as well 😄 Also how tf is his skin so glowy and young looking. I swear this man ages backwards or doesn't age at all. Give us your skincare tips, Ian! 😊

The second story got me because as a teen when I began watching Smosh, I had a huge crush on Ian as did most people I knew
I did but felt like I was supposed to like Anthony more because of sibling peer pressure. (I felt a lot of shame for my crushes as a kid for various reasons I didn't process until a lot later.) Any time I would say my fave boy band member etc, she would act like I was an absolute freak lol
I gotta wonder if the "Anthony Roast" trailer shot of Ian brought any of that back? xD
I remember Courtney saying he was their bias as well as a teen (before working there). I didn't watch back then but I always went for the more "button down sweet one" in my teens so I'm pretty sure I would have also gone for Ian back then. They were both cute and still are. Just different "genres" of cute!
LITERALLY SAME ian was always my "favorite" so to speak.
@@hernameispekka_Rebecca neither of them was sweet, at all. A lot of people projected Ian as the more innocent one due to their looks.
I have IBS, if I literally destroyed a man's bathroom and he still wanted to date me, I would get on my knee and propose to that man. He's a keeper and since she brought him new towels, so is she. I hope they marry each other.
I ship it!😂
Guuuurl...the first time I stayed over at my bf's place I clogged the toilet, but it's a mobile home toilet, which are notoriously prone to clogging, and it ain't the first time I've done that. The plunger wasn't working, so I taught him the bucket trick. Or as Call the Midwife says, "High, hot, and a helluva lot!" (I know they were talking about enemas, but that's what pops into my head, lol) I've clogged my besties toilet twice, in two different residences, and there were circumstances that led to both that were beyond my control, so it was simply bad luck. I had to mop shitty water off the floor over and over wringing out a single paper towel like a sponge because she's a germaphobe and they had no more paper towels. Embarrassing af, and I have chronic back pain, so it really friggin hurt, but it's not worth ending either relationship over. I did buy myself a crazy pressurized air plunger set though. Plus, I now do the first flush almost immediately, lol.
I can understand both sides of that one as bowel problems are something societally we treat with shame and as taboo, which is ridiculous because it's something that everyone does! Even people with ostomies deal with poop, just in a little different way. It is one of the nearly universal traits of being a complex lifeform! What is there to be embarrassed about or ashamed of? Feel bad? Sure, it feels bad to disrupt someone's life with one of your most vulnerable functions, but no decent person, especially one who cares for you, is going to yell at you or make fun of you for it. As they said, shit happens.
Thankfully my two besties and I all have various ibs problems and we all text from the toilet and as I'm medically knowledgeable one of them is always asking me crazy stuff, but yo, if you can't talk to your bestie or partner about those things, who can you?
I love 1:04:58 when Damien and Shayne are dying of laughter, and Ian is just on the couch trying to get back to the helpful commentary

The gas Damien is talking about at 56:01 is sulfur hexafluoride. It's basically the opposite of helium, being six times heavier than air instead of six times lighter. It's non-toxic, but because it's heavier, it can settle in your lungs and displace all the oxygen if you breathe too much of it, so it's not recommended that you try the voice-changing effect at home.

Truly must be nice. I don't know why he went on about that for so long, was just a tad upsetting. I hope this comment doesn't come across as hating.
Lingerie Story: Hearing Claire's reaction to the situation was the most wild part to me. I'm the "female best friend" to a couple people in relationships, and while I'll make the occasional risque joke to these friends, it's ONLY if their partners are comfortable with it. If their partners aren't okay with it, I respect that and don't make those kinds of jokes- simple as that. I rather be on good terms with my friends' partners if I can help it, as they're important to my friend. If I found out my friend wanted to buy me lingerie and it made their partner uncomfortable? I'd probably be apologizing over and over to the partner, while having a stern conversation with my friend about how that wasn't cool. So hearing Claire tell her that you need to get over it is wild and just screams "pick me" energy.
Also the fact that he said "Claire and I talked and we don't like how you're making us out like cheaters" like who cares what Claire thinks your girlfriend is uncomfortable and you're choosing another woman. Claire is going to ruin a lot of relationships for him she sounds like the type of girl who doesn't want to date this guy who is clearly in to her but she will always try to make sure she's a priority over any girl he dates and it sounds like Kyle is in the same boat with the stuff he said about Claire. They both should distance from her if they ever want to get married or have a family and stop waiting for her to "settle" for one of them
What do you mean “and if it made their partner uncomfortable?” what partner wouldn’t be uncomfortable in that situation? and the risky jokes, who wouldn’t be uncomfortable with those either? why make those types of jokes with someone who’s already in a relationship? that’s weird; no matter what
@@ariannayoung1528different people have different senses of humour. dont assume the jokes are creepy, just assume that OP knows their friends well enough to make jokes that will be laughed at, but if their friends partners dont find it funny, OP wont make the jokes.
@@bleedingcowboys7147 yep it's exactly like that. Different folks have different senses of humor and comfort levels. Plus there's the whole element of trust you have in your partner.

Did anybody else clock how much they clocked this episode?
This is the modern equivalent of getting your newspaper from your front step and kicking your feet up to read in the mornings
"This isnt an issue because Im doing it openly in front of you" is also why a lot of kids dont realise theres domestic abuse in the home unril years later. Thats how shit gets normalised. I understand the sentiment but it is not an absolute nor a get out of jail free card.
Damien is so emotionally intelligent, it just makes me little heart happy.
So the idea of the red lingerie prank was "she has a thing with the colour red"
OK, so why couldn't be literally anything on the planet that's red? The lingerie absolutely plays a part in this somehow and....come on.
Yeah and it sounded like a trauma thing with the color red, which made this prank seem cruel to Claire. I feel like both women were being manipulated.
He said it was their college days meaning did he see her or accidently walk in on her or something of that sort. Did they have a thing before and now just friends? ALOT of questions.
The combination of trauma, lingerie and the colour red makes me think, this has to be some sort of "period accident" from college, which you know really mature joke for him to make
@@jennifervaughn2466they were both pretty adamant it wasn’t a trauma thing, so it could be anything. One of my best friends decided one year to boycott the color blue for reasons she admitted later were really stupid (it was during those tween years when you want to be the most special, and she thought blue was too common). We tease her about it sometimes now, but the lingerie aspect makes absolutely no sense for what the OP was told.
@@firefly10241 exactly what i was thinking.... like referring to their college days definitely made it sound like its not JUST about the color red but about the lingerie itself as if he saw her in it one way or another

Before Shayne started the lantern story, I thought that the guy had found a Green Lantern movie prop and that’s why he was obsessed with it
I thought damien would make an alan scott jade lantern found at the railroad joke or even a john Stewart or Hal Jordan joke but I guess not lmao
A man has been possessed by a spirit dwelling within a lantern and you all are here making jokes. Despicable!!
🎃👻👹
Glad I wasn’t the only one 😆
@@RealBradMiller😂❤😂❤
Too bad the Warrens are dead to exorcise the spirit attached to the lantern...
Ian’s looking really great. I’m so thankful I’ve got to watch his journey through the years and grow along side him.
45:57 my theory is that they were friends with benefits during college and thats the inside joke
That's a good theory actually
It's a good possibility.
That was my theory as well. Or I think at the least they slept together a minimum of one time and they have this quirky “inside joke” now that only they know about.
18:37 this is how I feel when I make a joke about being fat, and someone comes out with the, “OMG DON’T SAY THAT ABOUT YOURSELF! YOU’RE BEAUTIFUL!!” Like, are you for real?? I never said I was ugly or stupid or gross. I said I was fat. Which is both true and not a comment on how I FEEL about myself. I know I’m hot. I’m also smart and funny and a lot qualities that are appealing to people. I’m also overweight. Never did I say anything denigrating about myself, just something that is true. When you accept yourself fully for the truth of who and what you are, it’s the most invincible feeling you can have. It’s also the most telling to how OTHER people look at themselves and the people around them. Being fully accepting of your own flaws is like putting up a mirror to the rest of the world’s insecurities.
Preach!
duuuude fucking same. I've gotten better about not disparaging myself about my weight, but even when i WOULD be lamenting about it and someone would respond "no! you're beautiful!!" i would still reply "i said i was fat, not that i was ugly. they're not mutually exclusive."
@@ronandoyle827 bro, and it’s always something that is a legitimate annoyance about being overweight, too. Not even on a comment on myself, but a joke about something super specific that’s a symptom of being overweight.
I prefer the term fluffy lol, but yes. Also overweight. I was raised around a LOT of fat phobia. So, yes,for many it sounds like an insult. We are still learning to accept ourselves.
this^
also when people insist that you "Arent fat" when you say you are. its one thing when someone is genuinely not fat, but I literally just saw a conversation in a chat i was in where person one was like 'im fat' and everyone rushes to be like 'no youre not!!!' and the first person responds with '...im literally 450lbs' and everyone is immediately like 'youre not fat' 'youre just chubby' 'yah chubby is a cute word' sometimes people are just fat and thats okay (coming from a fat person)
What a great group of distinguished gentlemen. Thank you guys for making these types of videos. It helps me think before I act/speak and puts things in perspective.. like spreading negativity doesn’t help anyone, or make anything better. It just helps my self awareness, and I’m grateful for it.
Did anyone else notice how many times Shayne, Damien, and Ian used the phrase “clocked it”?
Yes! I just posted about it! Please tell me it was a joke, because otherwise…
Came to the comments just to find someone mentioning this! Where did this phrase come from??
@@ElenHalls this phrase came from aave and said commonly among black women. (Or trans women)
However it's reached mass usage because of TikTok and also it's really accurat when it comes to pinpointing a situation that could have been missed.
I can guess it's arasha (or Courtney) who brought the phrase to the Smosh cast because she does use aave on here and it just started to spread. 😂
@@ElenHalls
The British use it all the time.
I now clock that it’s crossed the ocean.
@@keychains5806 unless this is a different usage from TikTok, the phrase "clocked it" being used to mean to notice something has been around since the 40s. I know about its usage on the trans community to mean specifically to notice that someone is trans, but that doesn't mean it's not still an appropriate verb to use in other contexts??? Why is this a thing worth mentioning????
This trio is amazing.. I know Damien can find it harder to vibe with certain humans but I feel like Ian and Shayne are not one of them. The hysterical laughter from Shayne and Damien with Ian sitting there not getting the joke is so funny 😂😂😂
I sure clocked how many times you guys said the word “clocked”
DAMIEN IS SO BACK
What the h*ck ૮꒰ “ . . ꒱ა I literally just clicked on this video and started scrolling through comments and specifically this one has a thumbs down from me that was totally not me!! I love Damien haha
Shayne's take on body positivity/neutrality is soooo refreshing. People lose their mind when someone states that maybe you don't need to be the beauty standard or easily sexualized to be worthy of respect and dignity. Specially when you say this about women, lol.
HOLY SHIT I WAS GONE FOR LIKE A WEEK WHEN DID SHAYNE ENTER HIS LUMBERJACK ERA
ian saying he wasn’t the cute one in the second story when i had the biggest crush on Ian from the second i started watching smosh as a teen
Same
tbh it was so nice to hear about their opinions on negative comments “ugly one” story- i’ve been getting a bunch of negative comments recently and hearing their opinions made me feel better and may help me change my mindset on them
"hey, do you know how you'd like to be supported right now" would absolutely make me sob 😅
I've had people tell me I needed plastic surgery before and tell me they couldn't date me because certain parts of my body aren't good enough. Here's the kicker, these were people that I rejected telling me this stuff. I just told them, "Good for you, I don't care," and walked away.😎
Yup. They don't care about it until they want to hurt you. They don't think you're ugly, but they want *you* to think you're ugly.
I don't know much about her but Bella's "this ain't build a bitch" rings so true
People are just so awful man
I would laugh and say that's presumptuous of you to believe I care what you think.
@@karlagonzalvez4703I love how you worded that!
1:02:01 the little glance Damien gives Shayne after saying "you wouldn't get this, but I'm good at unclogging my toilet" made me cackle
One of the things I love most about the Reddit spots is how deep the though the guests give to the issue. It is like a real discussion my friends and I would have about these. And I watch these with my teenage daughters because I think it shows a true reaction from female AND male presenting folks that I hope are real and honest and should be expected.
When Damien imitated saying "is Shayne in the video game too" I could see the funeral roast when Shayne was a JoJo stand and said "finally, my coat tails can fly free" in his eyes 🤣
Every week, I pull up RUclips at 12 pm EST thinking that PST is only 2 hours behind and disappointedly wait another hour. One day I’ll get it right.
I wish it came out a noon, I'm always primed and ready by then lol
Where are you from ? Cause I'm from Iran and it always airs at 8:30 p.m so i always watch it before bed 😅 It's the best time ! @@Konrow
Same dude 😭 and then 1 comes around and I forget
Oh me too
Get rekt EST nerds! This comment is brought to you by the CST gang!
Love that the three of you talk so respectfully and compassionately about the feelings and struggles of two very young women. Of cause it should be normal. But unfortunately it is not. Keep up the good work 👍
I love that "Clocking" was the word of the video.
I’m glad I’m not the only one that noticed it
Thank you for acknowledging this 😭 semi-recently their overused word was “let him cook” which I felt crazy for noticing every time
I fucking love how beautifully emotionally intelligent the smosh cast is and how balanced their convos are ❤️
24:43 the husband indirectly called his wife a "spawnpoint". and her mind might've went to "Oh so my only purpose is spawning YOUR units?"
OHHHH OKAY i couldn't understand what was so bad about this one but now i see that 😭
WAIT ITS A SPAWNING NOISE?!?! bruhhhhhhh
This context makes me cringe just a bit
ig that makes sense in her defense, but the comments were being way too aggressive towards OP. He said he was nervous and panicked, that's like a coping mechanism to be jokey in serious situations. Not saying he shouldn't apologize, but calling him immature and selfish is waaaaay too far. He even clarified that he wasn't going through a fraction of what his wife was, and people were agreeing that he was self centered and childish?!!?
@@virgil2461Ikr! I feel like they gave him too much flak for it.
As a woman who uses humour to cope with pain, I would have laughed so hard I would have popped out a non-existent twin
Imagine breaking into a house and some dude comes out with a giant lantern yelling “WHO GOES THERE”
Just when I think I can’t love Damien more, he says something that is just so thoughtful or funny! When I have friends that are stressed or need help/support I ask the same thing, do you want a distraction, advice or just to rant; it’s been on the best things I’ve learned!
Love you three! Really impressed with how welp spoken you all voiced your experiences and opinions surrounding online criticism. I’m sorry for any/all you’ve experienced yourself!
Man I was just thinking about how I needed something to listen to while I draw!
To anyone who's reading this, I hope you're having a wonderful [INSERT TIME OF DAY]. Please try to take care of yourself, eat and drink something if you haven't done that in a couple hours, and if you're feeling really gross and sucky for seemingly no reason, try to shower! I know it sounds like a cliche, but even just going outside for a brief walk for a few minutes can make the world seem just a bit brighter. Have a good one, you guys got this!
aw ur such a sweetheart 💕 hope ur day is fantastic
you’re the best thank you :)
Thank you❤️ this helped me get some water for myself this morning. I hope you have a great day you kind stranger
i hope u have a good one!💕
Hope everyone who reads this has a good day, the internet can seem so negative so please remember to take breaks and take care of your mental health
55:32 Ian's genuine "huh?" Off camera is so fucking funny to me XD
Oh my gosh the bathroom one! I have major GI issues and have since childhood. I didn’t feel comfortable with any person I was in a relationship with to disclose it and suffered for years for it. When I met my now-husband though, that changed immediately. I was so comfortable with him from the day we met that I never had to make up excuses or hide what was happening to my body. And he loves and cares for me so deeply, he never judges or makes me feel ashamed for it. Get you someone you can be that comfortable with, and better yet, BE the person someone else can be that comfortable with. Similar to a comment you made in the video, my sister had a stroke on her first date with her now husband. Stuff like that bonds you!
What Shayne said about being short.. I felt this but I grew up fat. My friends always said “nooooo you’re not fat, you’re beautiful!” like I can’t be both? I know I’m fat. I also know I’m beautiful. I didnt want people telling me I wasn’t fat it made it so much worse
As a fat adult, people still do this 🫠
It’s not that hard to say nothing. People Saying “oh no, you’re not” is showing me that people are uncomfortable with me addressing my fatness.
It can depend how you say it tho! Like if someone says “oh no I’m so fat” that’s obviously a different story.
Regardless people need to start equating fatness to badness!
Two things here:
One is that you have prescribed being a lil fat as an independent event to being beautiful, and unfortunately the world hasn't yet accepted that fully.
Secondly, I'm inclined to agree with the world view if and only if you are medically obese and in danger of various health risks associated with it (like me actually)
