I'm guessing there won't be another way to watch?

[@rainycakes]

So when Amanda looks out the window she's looking at either a huge real-time ant farm watching them make tunnels, OR she's seeing the feet of people going into the coffee shop like Laverne and Shirley's view, or Kimmy Schmidt.

[@TuxedoMaskMusic]

Syd and Olivia Drunk Explaining ANYTHING?! is a BLESSING to anyone who witness's it. Their chemistry is cartoon level girl boss and there is absolutely nothing you can do about it. RAW IMPROV TALENT they naturally yes and one another like a reflex.

[@brilab]

syd & olivia writing each other fanfiction for every birthday is my favorite thing ever

[@yay4yoyos]

Mine too now

[@comfy-pajamas]

you should watch their podcast! they talk about it on there, and more stuff like it

no because olivia constantly trying to segue back to talking about writing the liveshow script somewhat seriously but mostly as a bit is deeply hilarious pls

[@ZacLJones]

It’s like she kept remembering why they were there.

[@highdefinition450]

this language reminds me of tumblr, like, 8 years ago or something lol

I think she was trying to be a good guest. 😅

[@mikayla9299]

this convinced me that soulmates are real. i've never seen two people as in sync as syd and olivia.

[@hernameispekka_Rebecca]

I'm only 10 minutes in but the tempo of this episode from the get go is just.... hyperspeed with loooots of twists and I'm just holding on for dear life. I'm genuinely worried Shayne might not make it out of this one since he's already crying!

[@Eliseprochazka95]

😊

[@tjpeluso]

Go look for the TNTL that Syd & Olivia guested on and watch for the moment where Syd is on the stool and Shayne and Olivia do a bit together where Shayne is doing a Syd impression. That's all the proof you need that Shayne can handle whatever speeding train these two throw at him. 🙂

[@JarrodMFinn]

For a second I thought I accidentally sped up the playback speed.

[@martispartis05]

Perfect speed for my adhd ridden ass

[@bondickle]

​@tjpeluso did they make a twin joke on a TNTL because I always thought they were twins but have only ever seen/heard of them through Smosh 😅😅

[@hpoz222]

syd and olivia saying “the duolingo owl got a BBL” in perfect unison was truly a Moment

[@elderflower2133]

Syd and Olivia writing each other 70 page fanfictions for presents is the level of friendship I aspire to.

[@allyttlesus]

its so funny to see syd and olivia’s actual personalities to be as chaotic as their comedic personas. this is probably the first time ive seen the pod having to cut mid-conversation this many times 😂

[@hernameispekka_Rebecca]

Poor poor editors trying to find good places to cut!! I didn't even think of that, haha!

[@rosasyvioletas]

Their podcast is SO good

[@cheesecakelasagna]

yep, i don't have to play this episode at at least 1.25x unlike most times. 😅😅

[@michaelneedssleep]

I think what makes Syd and Olivia incomparable to other duos is that there’s no dedicated “straight man.” It’s like they have a shared stream of maniacal consciousness.

[@corollalife]

42:14 "Well, you mean child hot. He gets hot for the other children." "PASS" 💀💀💀

[@susaneliza]

The way syd and olivia sync up and talk at the same time about differnt things but also make sense together like chaos harmonizing is wild to watch

[@edenstanding8676]

I've never used the phrases "fast-paced" or "high energy" to describe this podcast before... but I will today.

[@mihirx27]

The story of Syd and Olivia writing lengthy fanfics for each other, putting in MONTHS of work into it is giving me the same energy as "Halloween Heists" from Brooklyn Nine-Nine :p

[@wowjulynochu5473]

Yesss!!!

[@aleandra3945]

Syd and Olivia truly share one braincell, they just take turns and its fascinating

Amanda freaking out silently every time the Syd and Olivia hivemind say something at the exact same time is so funny to me

[@arualstarr]

Honestly Syd & Olivia have the energy & chemistry of Jean-Rolphio & Mona-Lisa Saperstein ❤

[@TM.BECK14]

I bet they could 100% nail a parody of that pair 🎯

[@imyour-realdad]

You couldn’t be more right about that

[@3pinsproject]

I know that Amanda is chronically offline but I just wanted to say that as a trans girl Amanda makes me feel so valid. She is unapologetically tall and beautiful and confident in a way I strive to be. She is such a friend of the community. The lesbians love her and the transfemmes love her

I usually watch these episodes sped up. Watching it on NORMAL SPEED feels sped up right off the bat. Syd and Olivia are so quick and in sync 😂

[@IceArceus_]

Watching this gives "Are you ladies done chattering?" vibes 😅😂 Love how the conversation never stops.

[@pola9882]

11:35 "i think it's talking about itself" didn't get the recognition it deserves!!

[@Rawrmuffin0]

Shayne and Syd I relate so hard. Went to a corner store one time on a walk and the lady inside who’s normally pretty friendly started ranting to me about Oprah being in the Illuminati bc she painted her fences blue during the Hawaii wildfires and it was a mass sacrifice for the devil and all I could do in shock was stare at her and nod like ‘oh shit…’ and never went back to that store.

[@raychipsd]

olivia saying "that's hot" in response to amanda being mean on planes... SO REAL

[@AbiGabbles]

syd talking about resting sad face- i felt that. once had 2 women atna stop sign roll their windows down and ask if i was OK because they said it looked like I had been crying. I was sincerely just taking a walk

16:34 olivia started talking so fast it exploded the footage from the final edit and so an unexplicable amount of time was lost from our reality until the hard cut

[@Jeje18911]

Listening to Syd and Olivia didn’t seem super fast to me until Shayne was reacting and trying to process what they’re saying haha! My adhd loves their pacing and skipping from subject to subject. This also gave me an insight into what I sound like when I get excited, my dad has always complained that I talk so fast he can’t keep up with what I’m saying

They don't need to be regular cast members, but petition for Syd & Olivia to make a video appearance on one of the channels at least once a month? Would be like a payday treat for the Smosh fans.

[@abigailoverton7610]

omg yes he looks between two of them and the cameras keep switching back and forth like they’re trying to work out which one he’s looking at but its neither.

[@albertgreene313]

These two have quickly become some of my favorite comedians. The fact that they are behind the upcoming show, well dang. Glad i bought a ticket.

[@tinycoke3718]

Yo Syd being like “I have resting depression face” is the only other person referencing what I used to call “having resting kicked puppy face” where people would come up and ask what was wrong when I was just like chilling! Ive never heard anyone reference it before!! Edit: not the random conspiracy theory conversations i get that as well god DAMMIT

[@RetrospectsToo]

The hard cut at 16 min after Olivia is doing her happy emo voice, I can only assume it’s because Shayne was wheezing

[@Avery17.R]

I gave in and bought a ticket. I missed the funeral show because of surgery and this just sounds too good, especially since syd and Olivia wrote it

[@rooster1944]

Syd and Olivia genuinely make me laugh every time I watch them because of the ADHD batshit crazy off the rail conversations out of fucking nowhere

[@The_queenofrandom]

Coming back after watching the Sitcom twice to say 1) that was amazing. Kudos to the cast, crew, and writers 2) I would pay a stupid amount of money to buy it on dvd 3) I will immediately buy tickets to any other live sitcoms you all do because that was so much fun. I hope it was as enjoyable to make.

[@realJacobNichols]

It would be hilarious is Syd & Olivia did a sketch similar to Anthony & Ian’s skit about talking at the same time, but at Syd & Olivia’s pace.

I’m TWEAKING over this live show and I can’t even get tickets for it 😭😭😭😭😭

[@DepletedWisdom]

My friends and I used to write a story together yearly. The key was no more than 3 paragraphs and we had a dedicated program that would read it to us. By adding certain things such as the tilde key ~ or exclamation marks or funny misspelling the program would do things like suddenly change pitch or even sound surprised. Eventually life happened and it stopped but about 5 years ago I made them all into MP3s and sent them to everyone. The most personal and stupidest things that only our friends group would find funny.

[@AngelEyezz002]

This pod was one of the most chaotic things I have ever seen in the best possible way. This made me so much more excited to watch the live sitcom on Friday.

[@kastiak06]

Every time I see Syd and Olivia, I get even more in awe at their minds. So unhinged, and so symbiotic with one another. They are the definition of true friendship.

[@montygatwick1829]

It was so good y’all, some of the best stuff smosh has ever done if not the best. Shayne you should be so proud.

[@Kuchhh]

@28:10 if I had to guess, based off my own experience, you’re somebody who is easy to talk to, as in someone who naturally makes other people feel comfortable, so it’s like you unintentionally loosen them up and they proceed to tell you their deepest darkest thoughts

[@thepottergeek07]

It’s been 5 minutes and I can’t stop laughing at resting depressed face I’m crying 🤣🤣🤣

[@adribby]

This was a testament to why you should get your tickets… The energy is epic. Now time to watch that episode with Shayne

[@MichaelDavis-nn7og]

syd and olivia have an amazing dynamic in how perfectly coherent they talk and interact. They have perfect timing in that they say things back to back without talking over each other. They also have those perfect moments where they say the same thing at the same time
