Amanda doing an Idiots Present -esque meme presentation was genius. Shoutout to the underrated Smosh videos- they should bring that series back especially now that Amanda /Angela/ Chanse/ Arasha are more established as cast members. They’d be fantastic at the improvised presentations.

[@tomcat5151]

Hard agree. Idiots presents is a gold mine. The episode with Ian and Chanse is might be one of my all time favorite smosh anythings Honestly, any time Ian and Chanse are in a video it's great. They play off each other so well.

[@tis-gem]

Omg totally agree!!

[@Mariethechaotic]

Omg I didn't even see this comment. I mentioned Idiots Present too. I loved that series and I would love it anymore with the magic that is Changela, Amangela, and Shangela... And Courtnela... Okay so what I'm saying is I need Angela on this a lot. To be clear, not because I think she's an idiot, quite the opposite, because I think she's an improv genius and has iconic duo energy with every single cast member and I guarantee there would be so many hilarious moments.

Amanda talking about her first video with Smosh, and then saying she made Shayne laugh with an improv, and saying "he laughed that laugh that makes you think everything is okay in this world." was so adorable.

I know they work hard and are probably tired of one another after the week, but you can tell, everyone there is loved AND liked.

I’m absolutely loving these Smosh cast interviews on Anthony’s channel.

[@jeffhappens1]

oh cool, Kortney is editing here, too!

[@mewgiah8057]

What Anthony said about people holding pain inside their brain is actually incredibly important. A lot of recent studies have discovered that “rumination” on depression/pain is dangerous as it actually amplifies those feelings. This goes against a lot of psychology that was done in the 90s that told people that it’s a good thing to constantly talk about your issues. What this means is - yes you can talk to others about your problems. You can confront and face your demons. But at some point you have to either let go - or start to have your brain focus on other feelings as well. Because if all you do is think about pain, live in pain - you will create a toxic environment where all the negativity is amplified. However this is challenging because it’s in our natural evolution to constantly think about the things that can hurt us. Our bodies are wired to prevent us from experiencing that bad thing again. It’s an inert defense mechanism. But if you want to get better you have to step out of it - or at least find ways to incorporate competing feelings. This is why social media has become so damaging. A lot of people openly “live their psychological conditions”. You see these accounts where all they do is talk about their pain and depression. They then find other people online who are doing the same thing. Which leads to a group of people all amplifying these negative emotions to insane levels. Basically try to focus on positive things. Whether that’s focusing on a hobby you are passionate about. Or try to work with a therapist on letting go of that thing that bothering you. This is why most therapist will have an anxiety patient slowly step out of their comfort zone. They will give them a goal of talking to 3 random people a week. Walking into a store and ordering coffee. By doing these things you are slowly letting go of your anxiety. Now to be clear you can’t just let go of depression/pain. Some people do need meds/heavy therapy. And when I say “let go” it’s more about finding strategies to loosen its grip on your mind. But it’s a lot of work and isn’t something as simple as snapping your fingers

Hey, I love how respectful and non-judgmental you are in these interviews. I would like to suggest doing an updated interview for BTS ARMY. So many things weren’t covered like: 1. How their company, Big Hit was going bankrupt when they joined. 2. Shipping. 3. Fanservice. 4. Why there are only boy groups and girl groups in K-Pop. 5. BTS’s hardships. 6. Favorite song. 7. Toxicity and gatekeeping in the fandom. If you decide to do that, I want to be in your video.
