Hello, and welcome to Reddit Stories. I'm Shane, and this is our new set.
Chocolate Wrench!
Chocolate Wrench!
Chocolate Wrench is there.
They gave him armrests!
They gave him armrests. For those who are listening, I have armrests.
A mini Beverly board. Look at those chunky pancakes.
Chunks. If you're a typical listener of the show, then I guess it's not very different. Maybe the acoustics are a little different for you. I don't know.
Well, does Shane sound more confident because he's in a king chair right now.
I am in a king chair. I'm in a much bigger chair.
He has more back support. And he has armrests.
I have armrests. It's awesome. I have a little pillow.
He has a cute little pillow.
Yep.
And look, you know, Ansel and I, sorry, Ansel and I have a lot of, sorry, I sat on this one. That pillow's name is Am I the Asshole? No, it's Am I the Ass and this is the Hole.
We have a pillow named The.
Anyways.
Before we continue about the set, I should intro that this show is about friendship. The theme today is about friendship, and Smosh is all about friendship. And I am joined by two people who I can't stand.
Wow. Well, we hate you, too, and that's why friendship is complicated, people.
Friendship is so weird.
You just make it work, huh?
I'm joined by Angela and Amanda. Thank you both for being here.
Get your two cans out. It's friendship always wins. Come on, Saturday morning. Call your bestie. Well, we would not do well at burlesque if we did this. Can you imagine? The show's like, yeah, sexy, sexy. And we're going, come on. Anyone from Seattle? Salt Lake City, Utah?
In your life, what has had more drama? Friends. Your friendships or your romances?
Sisterhood. Friends. Okay. Sisters weigh the most drama. Sisters. Friends. Okay. Sisters. Let's do this. Sisters. Friends are pretty close. Whoa. Because if you have a friend that goes, oh, my God, you're like a sister to me, it can get real tricky fast.
Wait. There's an old clip that I get tagged in constantly and you and I barely know each other and we're doing a challenge pit and we're talking about friendship breakups or we're doing like a agreed to disagree.
What are the challenges of friendship in adulthood?
We're talking about friendship breakups versus romantic breakups. And I'm like, I'm the one that goes on the friendship breakup side being like, it's harder.
Oh my God.
And then you go, yeah. And then I go, because when you enter a friendship, there's never like the understanding that we might break up. But with relationships, you're always like, this could not work out. This could happen, right. So when friendship breakups happen, it's so brutal. And then you go, yeah. And then we hug and I have really short hair. I remember this clip.
Because, I mean, like, yeah, like you said, you don't get into a friendship expecting it to end necessarily.
Or, like, expecting it not to work.
And friendships don't necessarily have to end. Like, a relationship kind of, if it's not working, like, it has to end, right? Yeah. Because you have this agreement. Yeah. You're so involved with each other's lives. But a friendship can be like, oh, we just don't see each other as often. It's loosey-goosey. Or whatever. There's no rules. There's not the same rules.
And you're not going into it with a promise. Because also, I think relationships are always labeled just like, oh, it's hard work, hard work. And friendship, it should be just like, oh, you're my friend. You're my friend. It's fun.
But then sometimes you experience something together and you bond so deeply. And then you go, and then they show a side to them that you're like, uh-oh.
Yeah. Uh-oh. Also, a friendship breakup, a romantic breakup can be like, I don't think we work together as a unit for whatever reason. But a friendship breakup is typically, I don't want to see you.
Yeah, it's tough.
I don't like you. Like, that's so much more brutal than what a romantic breakup can be amicable.
Totally. And it's like... Yeah, sorry. No, I'm sorry. No, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Are you guys... We're friends. Are you guys...
No, no, we're not breaking up. We're not breaking up. Okay. No, we're not breaking up.
