Klaas Olsson.
This is my impression of Arasha. Hey, it's okay.
That's a very good impression.
I'm sorry. I only see kindness there. I don't see any mystery.
Okay, King.
Hi, welcome to Smosh Mouth. I'm Shane.
And I'm Amanda, and we have a wonderful guest with us today. She's wearing a hat, but if you couldn't tell, it is Arasha.
Hi! I'll just tip the hat up so you can confirm my identity. No, I'm just kidding. I think it's clear. Thank you.
And you're wearing a guy's shirt, you said, but honestly, it does not need to be a guy's shirt. It's so freaking cute.
I go, that's a nice shirt, and you go, well... It's a shirt for guys.
It's a man's shirt. Which is crazy. Well, I've been doing a lot of cross-gender dressing, actually. I've been doing a lot of collars, ties. Is that not a good thing? I don't know. I think it's awesome.
I think it's fantastic. I think it's great. I don't know why Amanda has a problem.
I know, Amanda, clearly you don't want me to dress like a man.
I don't know why Amanda's offended by this. I think it's really great.
I said I had the giggles.
You did just laugh. Interesting, interesting. No, I actually think women look so cool when they wear the shirt and tie look. Me too. I think it's awesome. Yeah. I think it's a really cool look. Me too.
I've been watching FIFA and I'm like... I get that these women want to be in like tight ass dresses, but damn, put on a suit, lady. Maybe that's just me. Hey, they look incredible. But like, I don't know. I want to see these like FIFA announcers. All the men are in badass suits and like, girl.
I mean, listen, I love a tight dress moment, and I will be doing that as well. I think what's fun for me is the duality of that. I love being in a suit and a tie, but then I also love being in a tight little number.
Yeah. A look that's been really popular, and I think men and women both look really good in it, is the Oxford shirt with shorts and then loafers with the high socks. It's a cool look. It's like a business casual look.
It's a Princess Diana look. Sorry to bring it up, but she literally, the tight shorts with the big oversized sweatshirt and the sneaks. The sneaks, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I love it. Anyways, today we are going to be reading people's hometown drama.
I am so excited for this.
For weeks now, Selena has been accruing submissions of people's hometown drama. Selena, where'd you get this idea from?
We asked for it on the Smosh subreddit.
I know, but you just suddenly one day were like, I'm gonna get people's tea.
Oh, Kiana was telling me about some drama in the Facebook group of the town.
Of the town. Do you know what's weird, though, is we were talking about it at lunch. I don't know if it's when Rory was directing, but we were talking about our own hometown dramas, and we were like, what?
Hometown drama is some crazy shit.
It's pretty juicy.
Oh, everybody's got stories.
I mean, when I listen to Dateline, sorry to say it, but it is all ignited from hometown drama.
I think also that sometimes can shape us, right? Like whatever we experience or see in our hometown. You either are like, that's crazy. Or you're like, okay, that's how the world is. And then if you do go outside of that community, then you sort of bring that story with you. And you're like, well, this is what happened where I grew up.
You find it's like norm. It's normal.
And I'm sure it's still the same. But like back in the day... when you're a kid and something happens around the town, you learn about it so slowly that it adds to the intensity of it. And everybody's aware, but they're slowly getting the details. It's always fascinating because it's never outright.
