Hello you lovelies! 🌺 Hey Olympia, watching oddly satisfying pedicures is a guilty pleasure for me too, only I watch those for horses and cows (Idaho Horseshoeing School, etc.)! 😂🐎 And Nova, do you ever listen to a song on repeat for long, or just have a song in a playlist come up a lot? I often find songs that I'll listen to for hours for a couple of days, and then bury for months. I re-discovered Prototype by Viktoria Modesta today and listened to it on repeat for like 2 hours. 😅She slays! 🎧🎶

[@stephenpmurphy591]

Nova, I was shocked to hear Squid Games is based upon a true story in NYC during the 1980s.

[@recklessintent]

Lymps cutaways getting increasingly more unhinged as we shimmy on in to 2025. I love to see it, I can’t lie!

[@recklessintent]

*notes airdrop for the 2025 edition

[@TheFeralFerret]

Omg Olympia didn't go first and I am literally crying and shidding while I scream and freak out. This is the most alarming thing I have ever witnessed.

[@grandy_rho]

I kept rewinding it because I couldn't believe she didn't go first! Horrifying

[@FogyArts]

Nova's so sweet. Wanting to eat olives to become refined. Secretly adding fabric to Olympias clothes. I want a Nova.

[@Novympia]

I love Miss Honey and the Demon HeadMaster

the edit was particularly hilarious this week, jack this is exquisite work

[@cjwem8261]

I'm currently binge watching your vids as they are helping clear my head space. You probably won't read this, but I watched your Barcelona vlog to get me through a panic attack last night. Love you both ❤

[@Novympia]

🥰 thanks for being here!

[@cjwem8261]

@@Novympia thank you. I do really mean that. You got me through this weekend.

[@lakiyoko]

the fact we are paying for prime but still have to pay EVEN more to make sure there’s no ads! the nerve of these companies!

[@ChristianStran]

The Paris Hilton “Stop Being Poor” cutaway featuring the hit single Nothing In This World was the highlight of this video for me ❤😂

[@rolandocarrillo4570]

Welcome back to another episode of "Olympia Doesnt Know Technology"

[@Novympia]

no that seems wrong

[@katotterbee5399]

Hey but does twitch have a separate tv channel? 😆😆😆

[@georgiyburlachenko5750]

I’m sorry, but this is the last straw! There certain things we come to expect from this sort of video. Why did Nova went first? The whole concept just collapsed!

[@Lucillelf]

This felt more chaotic than usual, and I am here for it! Love you!

[@Euclidean3141]

Olympia saying Nova couldn’t think of anything when she literally said ‘sitting’ was one of her favourites 😂

[@uniquerebeljaney3639]

Sitting is brilliant, though, so she had a very valid point.

[@Cove_Blue]

My mom told me yesterday that she saw "they" discovered the bones of the giants from the Bible and that they were real. I was like, "I don't think that's true." She said, "No, I saw it. I've read about it... from scientists." I'm almost certain the "scientists" were fb AI pages. She's 78, I just let it go. I have to pick my battles.

[@janessajayechampagne]

LOL Thanks for the birthday shout out...and the bonus clip of Luxeria! I've really been enjoying her content lately as well...I remember all of those crazy reality shows!

[@CarlSutton76]

I live near a Vimto factory. The air nearby has a purple haze,and smells of sugar.

[@lilme7052]

Sounds like heaven. I live near a Biscuit factory and theres always biscuity goodness in the air.

[@Shelleybean3315]

Oh. My. Gawd! How're the real estate options there? I'm willing to relocate from Canada 😊🤭

[@saccy86]

The look of horror on Lymp's face after the discord notification had me cackling, she knew she was about to cop hell.

[@Memorare87]

I freaking love it here. I was unloading groceries in my building's garage as I listened with earbuds, and was cackling out loud at the neverending pedicure description. I needed that today! 🤣🤣🤣

[@SeaneeKaii]

32:34 this was the best episode of The Hotel Inspector ever! The insane rules they had about children eating their meals at a separate time and John laying in bed topless while she screams at him. Iconic!

[@ohlord7043]

When shopping Asian breastplates in future, Nova should keep an eye out for the skin tone known as 'The Green One Terrify'.

[@chantsmysta]

The cutaways are getting FERAL i love it

[@Never4534]

Very curious about the girls' multiple business trips to Zurich... Is Dita going to bring Dignitas to the UK, perhaps?

[@beckett7707]

I was literally just wondering if we’d be gifted a faves and shitters today! Today was a shitter, but now it’s become a fave!

[@baitedlol6972]

I love that Char is always brought up even when they're not there lol. The type of friendship I aim for

[@Eyetech1976]

I just love how Olympia always pulls the dress down 😂😂😂😂

Can't stop won't stop

[@Peace2Mateo]

[@SqailChch]

Trying to explain to my mom that shes looking at AI images/shorts on facebook/youtube is a nightmare, she just does not get that its not real. She just goes back to the video and is like "but look!?" Also the same situation with ads that are made to look like homemade videos. She just gets stuck on them for so long.

[@eilaye]

Olympia I’m really concerned about how small and petite you’ve been looking lately

[@Novympia]

thank you I think we all are

[@dorinapenapoet]

Yall have kept this up monthly. Nice. Love these

[@Muppz]

Imagine a video consisting of bloopers and outtakes from anything and everything they've made though

[@Shelleybean3315]

💯💯💯

[@emilykemp1068]

May I recommend hoof trimming videos? It's so fucked but I can't stop!

[@Memorare87]

Seriously, you can't simply scroll away!

[@AmarisFrede]

OMG, same! Idaho Horseshoeing School has such satisfying videos! 🐎

[@baffledmouse]

Yes I love them!

[@annabelle_14_]

Video idea, ranking different types of squash.

[@crudbunnies7]

Watching y'all over the last few days has made life more bearable in America. Thank You!!!🤗🤗

[@PaolaEnergya]

Maybe you can play the Oscars music when Nova's speech goes on too much ;)

[@Novympia]

That's absolutely happening in the next one

[@AliFinNoble]

I adore that well lamp! It's so good. And I also have recently been fed Jesse into my algorithm and I love her eccentricness! I make jewelry with Victorian doll parts and I desperately want her to have one! Some of my favorite videos of hers are you ask your eccentric friend for some jewelry lol

[@EzekielArtss]

Hwang Dong-hyuk, director and writer of Squid Game, said the experiences of the main character Gi-hun, a laid-off worker, were inspired by the violent Ssangyong strikes in 2009. Posted in The Japan Times article: The real-life violence that inspired South Korea's 'Squid Game'

[@washroommusic]

look up "brothers home korea" , thats the dark history behind squid games korea is trying to bury

[@EvaMetalhankle]

Yes. That's it. The brothers home.

[@ecenbt]

Nova if it makes you feel any better, I was also VERY entertained by the maxipadawan videos that kept comming! I was right there howling with you and now I want you to make a reaction video so we can continue to laugh at them together for 20 minutes

[@kieran0403]

Always love a favs episode! I got Surfshark through you last year and it’s been amazing, I live in France at the minute and I can watch Traitors live it’s great. Also Traitors this year is amazing but honestly couldn’t stand half the people in it this year. Also with Prime anyone can use prime video and you can attach up to one account on prime delivery too so Nova you can add Olympia to your prime and it would be a separate account so Nova can’t see what you’ve ordered Olympia! Hope his helps 😊

[@Scottykilljoy]

20:31 the second you said Vimto, I was opening a fresh bottle myself!

[@j255173]

Luxeria cameo’ing twice 😅 I always crack up watching Novympia!!!

[@electricviolet1047]

Watching your videos make my Sunday evenings more bearable! ❤❤❤

[@CharlieCabralos]

Omggg yeah I don’t think I could ever play Sugar Water Cyanide for anyone, but I love it! We’re kindred spirits, Nova.

[@gabriellaberman]

i really relate to the whole olive thing. i’ve always hated them, but i want to be the kind of person who drinks dirty martini’s sooo bad

[@katotterbee5399]

Use a singular grape... That's a FILTHY martini🍇

[@portylad4]

I want you to know that I was mid-inhale when Nova said ‘I’ve really struggled with my shitters this week’, and I think I’ve completely burnt out my throat 😂😂😂

[@liamthompson4114]

that You wouldn't... cutaway is just a work of art 😂😂😂

[@tortimeese]

During Olympia’s entire description of pedicures, I sang loudly to my cat.

[@typsom]

I'm with Lymp - that song sounds like a coke-fuelled panic attack

[@Juicycroissanwich]

Thank you two for giving us so much entertainment

[@JSanime]

The real Squid Game shitter should have been the reality TV game show they made. Talk about missing the point.

[@stephutech]

I don’t like to eat olives by themselves but I do like them on pizza, and recently, pitas. In fact, I get both black and green olives on pitas! I used to just hate them but then I started to gradually put them on things that I enjoy them and choose to put them on thing! If you haven’t tried that Nova, you should 😊

[@rtjb2074]

Omg "You wouldn't send your trans friend MRSA" killed me 😂

[@thecoffeesloth]

100% onboard for the chunky gross nail vids! 🤣

[@sjokomelk]

My 64 year old mother is able to use Airdrop without any issue. Guessing Olympia is just old 😜😂

[@recklessintent]

Yes she is. Evidence is here 😂 kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmemhXR-o7agrq8si=A9foqYDALFoyvjd1

[@zoeoswaldmusic]

i agree with lymp airdrop never works, it's quicker to text myself a file than to airdrop it.. and airdrop is supposed to be easier 😭

[@mollylikesspace]

Despite her previous job experience, she unfortunately has zero technological expertise 😭

[@uniquerebeljaney3639]

Lymp looks beautiful with that red wig. It really suits her.

[@that1niceguy246]

Tingle in my Hinter(n)land? I'm stealing this one.

[@violindylan]

„I love untreated sewage“ had me crying😂

[@jae7798]

can't stop thinking about "limited edition" the same way "thrussy" still lives in my head...

[@mollylikesspace]

1:24 novas face here is killing me. Staring into the lens like shes experiencing the worst reality check of all time😭😭😭 nova I also hate olives and I'm also a vegetarian... sometimes some foods just make us feel unreasonably sick, but I get it, itd be nice if I liked them. Also confession: i have the fattest gay crush on olympia when shes in black dresses... any dress actually 😔🏳️‍🌈

[@anubixis]

omg gout, a new video yay

[@SpidersFace]

brb adding 'omg gout' to my daily lexicon

[@Peace2Mateo]

Lymp falling for the foot videos like I did was real asf. Its comforting to see ppl get help idk

[@christianmoore3631]

"knife crime" is now the new favorite cutaway

[@jaymichael82]

Nova, please please please in one of your next videos... please lean into the mic and do the 'Here we go...' 😊😅

[@tiggertheanimal]

Nova, I really hope you start doing K-pop faves/shitters again, it makes me feel seen, even if it makes Olympia go insane. Honestly an entire K-pop themed video would be funny. Will I elaborate further-? No, I don't get paid for these ideas LMAO just role with it LOL

[@josephmckenna6648]

Ugh I'm so happy that I have this video to watch after a long day.

[@ToddLamming]

Nova really is the "target audience" not sure if that's good or bad but she just is.

[@pqlasmdhryeiw8]

Font files absolutely allow letter alternatives. And Word even has a function to use those too. The good handwritten fonts will have alternatives.

[@evelyn.embers]

Once I started college I really got out of the pop culture loop... Sugar Water Cyanide??? I see I'm not missing much 😂

[@sinisterglitch200]

my favourite of of the month are 1. sour cream and chive snack a jacks with Tesco garlic and herb cream cheese 2. Analog horror 3. The time machine by H.G Wells I don't have anything i don't like this month

[@coco63626]

No! I won't head my beloved Vimtos name being besmirched with the name of Ribena 🤢

[@adamknight7134]

Kay’s good cooking cutaway KILLED ME 💀

[@phattjabba]

My husband is the same with cheese as Nova is with olives. He didn't grow up eating cheese. He can only eat the blandest cheese (mozzarella, mild cheddar, gouda) and looks longingly at a cheeseboard wishing he could enjoy it.

[@leopolaris112]

the nochentera cutaway was so niche lol i love it 😂

[@CarlSutton76]

Just set up separate profiles on your prime video account. Then you only pay once and can have your own playlists

[@reneepogue2188]

Nova as a fellow vegetarian who also HATES olives but is trying to like them, I highly recommend starting with tapenade (possibly even make it yourself). It's got garlic and olive oil and really great seasonings in it, so you don't taste the olives as much (although the flavor is still there) so it's very much like olives with training wheels.

[@SpidersFace]

je suis un dolly~! screaming crying at the fucking editing for this favs and shitters, SO. GOOD.

[@HonkHonkJosei]

There is a LOT of dunking on Char and Luxeria 😂😂😂

[@salemstrange2091]

Lymp! If you like pedicure videos may I suggest hoof carving videos, they’re the more intense version of pedicure videos

[@homeiswhereukeepurdealtho]

"they were all doing it in the eighties" MAADE ME SSPIT MY JOOICE

[@j.bfletcher]

tesco do the pitted nocellara olives they are in the chilled section not the jars though but i can devour a tub in one sitting lmao i was never really keen on black olives, loved green ones but i got the marinated mix with feta cheese, i feel eating olives with something else, like on pizza really does stop them being overwhelming

[@mamabear-to-three1631]

Happy new year girlsssssss🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@bweb6]

Talking of Faves & Shitters, are you both watching The Traitors? So good!

[@sam_7_l656]

thoughts on linda are welcomed

[@Novympia]

there's that core group just flopping their way through it that's slowing this season down but it's pretty solid

[@warwickbrown9870]

I LOVE Jessie Jolles, Middle Children and Happily Ever Heard of It... she's my spirit animal.

[@feriday4820]

Are you going to do Eurovision song reactions this year?? I loved them so much last year 💖

[@ecenbt]

i think they're not gonna do it, cause it was both hard work and they said they've soured from the competition

[@Novympia]

After 2024 it's kind of outrageous that Israel is still allowed to compete, so for now we've decided not to cover the show at all. If the current ceasefire is effective and becomes permanent and the Israeli delegation behave themselves at Eurovision this year we may reconsider for the future 💕

[@rogelimaiko]

Happy Sunday everyone ❤

[@fueledbyregret]

Nova? Starting first? I may never recover. Send flowers to Wing Stop.

[@SparkIeMotion]

The BBC news theme song slaps so hard. Those drums are such a bop.

[@j.c.2403]

Prime x-ray! S****** for sure. I love trivia, tidbits and the inside scoop but, ugh, On your phone sometimes you can't get it to go away????

[@iain9757]

26:18 the shock I got when that was in colour

[@antaresah]

13:00 - I completely relate to Nova, I really want to like Olives but anytime I eat them, my face screws up like I just sucked a lemon 😭💀

[@tpalicz]

I work nights at a grocery store and one night I was pulling a pallet out to work knocked into the shelf and broke a bottle of Vimto all over the place. It honestly looked like I offed someone.

[@Shelleybean3315]

Is VIMTO the bev that tastes kind of medicinal? I'm pretty confident that it's the drink that my grandmum called "cordial." When we were young, she would serve it to us, her granddaughters, in little crystal champagne flutes that were probably packing lead, Lol! But, yeah, it had an herb-ish, Welch's grape juice-ish flavour, from what I recall. What an awesome memory; thank you so much for that. ❤❤

[@PoisonEighteen]

I can very much relate with Nova for olives, I remember trying them when i was younger and thinking "hmm, I don't like these... yet". I would recommend kalamata olives and it might be worth trying a tapenade.

[@dehuke5195]

This episode was delightful!

[@yellowelmo1474]

I fucking LOVE sugar water cyanide and all of Rebecca Black's new shit. I recommend listening to the whole song if you haven't instead of just the cocaine part lol

[@rc-r104]

You two would love the. "I've had it" podcast... very favs and shitters adjacent.

[@liamwalker8699]

God i love vimto. The full sugar one with some ice in a nice pint glass 😭💙

Fonts do exist that are organic or handwritten that have a few variations of each letter so that it comes across as genuine

[@nadia4067]

i was going to comment for nova to try nocellara olives...but you said it for me. i don't think you can buy them without stones in but I'm sure there's some easier way of removing them, there are olive pitters you can buy
