10
Rollerblading is to the X Games what Nickelback is to rock.

31
I haven't been on it in a long time.
32
I've just been, just mainly just been mainlining crack this whole time.
33
What's mainlining?
34
Is that what you do with crack?
35
I feel like that's a drug word.
36
Is that an action?
37
A drug adverb?
38
I don't know.
39
My crack experience is not very high.
40
It is.
41
It means to inject something.
42
Oh, I wouldn't.
43
I don't think that works.
44
Yeah, I think you are incorrectly doing crack.
45
You know, I think I'm going to not do crack.
46
Yeah.
47
If it involves.
48
Yeah.
49
Hey, guys, what if we all just like didn't do crack?
50
Wouldn't that be nuts?
51
You guys, I think my eyes are dying.
52
You think your eyes are dying?
53
Yeah i've been getting so like do you have macular degeneration i believe
54
so my 23andme said my eyes are going to be getting worse
55
and worse and worse until i die
56
but i've been getting really bad headaches behind my left eye like
57
so bad and like getting more and more often i think it's
58
because like i
59
but well my left eye is the one with the the
60
the tear in the pupil my coloboma that's my my right eye actually has astigmatism
61
but that's my bad eye i haven't been wearing my glasses obviously
62
and i don't wear contacts also my glasses are like a few years old now
63
so like my prescription's old so i i'm gonna be going to an eye doctor
64
but do you remember the character from lost there was like
65
an episode where his the headaches was crazy everyone was like oh god he's
66
and then they found out that he just needed glasses.
67
Oh.
68
Really?
69
That was the storyline in Lost, was that he just needed glasses?
70
For one episode, yeah.
71
It was the best storyline.
72
It was the best episode of the whole series.
73
And they even had to break a couple pairs of glasses and fuse two different sides together to help his eyes.
74
And that was- I don't remember this episode.
75
It was the badass character, the sexy character.
76
They were all sexy.
77
They were all sexy.
78
You had like Sawyer who was the like prototypical like soap opera male lead.
79
Like he just didn't make any sense in that show.
80
He just looked too pretty.
81
Sawyer, he was just like, he had like stubble and like brown hair, right?
82
And like, he had the long, the long, honestly, I kind of have Sawyer hair.
83
Yeah, yeah, you do.
84
Okay, so it is the same character.
85
Yeah, that guy needed glasses.
86
Oh, it was him?
87
So I was like, oh, Tuff got in these glasses. So cute.
88
Oh, no. Well, that's why I don't wear glasses anymore.
89
Now you're a nerd.
90
That was his character arc.
91
You stopped?
92
You're a nerd.
93
No, I just don't use it for podcasts because I could see you guys so closely.
94
Oh, nice.
95
Well, that's cool.
96
So your eyes are dying.
97
Yeah.
98
Yeah.
99
Well, it sounds like, and being the medical professional that I am, isn't that migraine?
100
Is that a migraine?
101
Like, do you have sensitivity to light?
102
Not really not really sensitivity to light
103
because like i'll be i'll be in the sun tanning we'll have a migraine
104
or whatever like a bad headache and lay down
105
and be tanning with my eyes closed
106
and it'll be like going away do you get nauseous no
107
it's just really bad back of the left eye you should probably yeah you should probably change your prescription
108
because i i'm going because i was getting like eye strain
109
when whenever i'd be playing video games for like a long time yeah and so often and we're on our phones.
110
Do you get the pain looking at things up close or far away?
111
Close, but I do have bad vision where I can't read things far away.
112
So it's like, I definitely have noticeably bad vision.
113
Well, just for the people that are tuning in that didn't read the title, I just want to say we will be doing a very hardcore debate very soon.
114
I just wanted to let them know that we're not just going to be rambling.
115
There is a debate coming up soon.
116
Yeah, we're very excited.
117
Did you want to talk at all about our social distance shoot?
118
Yeah, sure.
119
So we were all very excited to get back into a sort of a regular shoot.
120
We also want to keep people alive and as safe as possible.
121
So we kind of devised this way of doing studio shoots again, where we're distanced from each other.
122
Everyone's wearing masks, wearing masks,
123
taking tests beforehand quarantining so everybody everybody on set has been quarantining or
124
taking the tests we had we had planned on going back to the studio a week earlier
125
but uh you guys did your part uh taking part in
126
the protest thank you very much yeah it cost us a couple weeks of production but yeah
127
but for the cause i can't it's like it's like look
128
i can't be like we can't be angry at you guys for for supporting this obviously very important cause
129
but that's but
130
but obviously like this is this is something we're taking very
131
seriously like yeah you know with with the with the covid of it all
132
and yeah it all went it all went very well it
133
was nice seeing your your dumb faces again in person i feel like we just had
134
so much dumb improv because it's been so long
135
and everyone's crazy from quarantine yeah like it had been
136
so long since any of us have like played against each
137
other yeah i feel like our our improv just got super weird a lot
138
because we just wanted i feel like we just wanted to
139
talk to each other yeah i feel like my acting is
140
different you know i the last few months have changed me
141
where you've just been tom hanks talking to a ball except
142
for the ball is my phone just talking to my phone
143
nobody's facetiming with me it's just my only friend the the one every panda express
144
that we shot the they're they're editing the cut right now it's so funny.
145
Everyone's just loopy.
146
It's so funny.
147
Yeah.
148
It's great.
149
What about you, Shane?
150
How did you like the studio shoot?
151
Did you miss us?
152
It was interesting because it felt, Damien summed it up pretty well.
153
He's like, it's when you end up at school during summer break and you're like, wait, I feel this feels weird.
154
Like it feels like you never left, but it also feels like it's been five years.
155
Like it feels like I'm coming up on the studio And look, I'm playing Last of Us right now and I can't help but compare it.
156
There's a lot of weeds growing around the studio now.
157
Yeah.
158
And I'm like, I'm opening the door to the studio just expecting some monster to come out at me.
159
And it's just Tim with a beard.
160
And it's just Tim with a beard.
161
It's just Tim and you just stab him in the neck with the shiv.
162
Guys, I don't know if you guys have seen this for those listening, but Tim doesn't wear a mask like most people.
163
He wears like a gas mask.
164
Full on.
165
Like a hardcore, he looks like a character in Last of Us who's about to just take out some fools.
166
Yeah.
167
But he looks like a badass because he's wearing a vest and a painter's mask.
168
Yeah.
169
He looks like a fallout character.
170
It's also funny because he's slating all of our shoots.
171
Yes.
172
He's the person that goes like, scene 11, take two.
173
But because the mask muffles everything he says, like a lot, it's like .
174
It's awesome.
175
Yeah, it's awesome.
176
It was really good to see, even if it was a skeleton crew, which means the minimum possible amount of people needed, it still felt really good to see everybody.
177
We filmed on my birthday, and I was working on my birthday, but it was so nice to see everyone and at least be social and be near people.
178
We're doing a social distance pit shoot soon too, unscripted.
179
We're trying to get back to it.
180
Yeah, we might be a little bit closer to each other, but we're still going to be as safe as we possibly can.
181
Yeah, quarantine, super hard, masks until we're like literally rolling.
182
Yeah, and obviously like we can't be spitting water everywhere.
183
So I think we're bringing back the slide whistle for Try Not To Laugh.
184
But shall we get into the topic at hand?
185
Let's get into it.
186
All right.
187
So this is going to be a very, very serious debate show.
188
We've picked out some topics for you guys, and it will be a 1v1 debate with one person being moderator.
189
They will each get one minute to state their side.
190
The other person will get one minute to state their side.
191
And then each person will be given a one-minute rebuttal, chance to take down their opponent's viewpoints and win.
192
The moderator will then decide who won the debate.
193
And if the moderator can't decide, we're going to bring in our wonderful, our wonderful.
194
Kevin from heaven.
195
Producer, producer, Kevin from heaven.
196
I was going to say he died a week ago, but that's just, Kevin is alive.
197
But we call him Kevin from heaven because he's, he's an angel.
198
I don't think you've ever called me that before ever.
199
It's literally my first time saying that ever in my life.
200
Well, it's your nickname now.
201
All right.
202
Thank you.
203
Great.
204
Kevin, Kevin.
205
So Kevin will be the ultimate decider if the moderator is failing to come to a consensus.
206
Shall we get onto it?
207
I'm ready to fight.
208
All right.
209
Well, too bad because the first debate is Shane versus myself.
210
So Courtney, would you like to begin?
211
Absolutely.
212
I'm going to get my timer ready to go.
213
First topic, is reading still cool versus is reading not cool?
214
Shane advocating for reading is still cool ian advocating for reading
215
is not cool who shall begin we go straight i'll let
216
ian start oh ian's going to oh no no you choose
217
corny uh yes uh shane since your name is first on
218
the on the google doc i'm going to have you begin
219
and your minute starts now reading is incredibly cool uh what
220
is more cool than gaining knowledge uh for instance i'm reading
221
a book right now called stand from the beginning it's about the history
222
and prevalence of racism in our country and its impact
223
and how it bleeds into every action that we do every day
224
and how it's part of our system and structure and how we need to take that down.
225
I would love my opponent to tell me that reading that book is a bad idea, that reading that book is not good.
226
Reading, it's how we pass knowledge from one to the other.
227
And by saying reading is not cool is the desire to suppress knowledge and to suppress education.
228
There is nothing better than it.
229
It is simply, it is what connects us all.
230
To not think reading is cool is probably the most offensive thing- 10 seconds.
231
On the planet.
232
I could think it's everything.
233
To not think reading is cool is sexist, racist, bigger than every aspect.
234
So good luck to my opponent.
235
Oh my God.
236
Okay, Ian, your minute starts now.
237
A book is outdated technology.
238
Do you see people riding around on a penny farthing bicycle?
239
No, they figured out better ways to make a bicycle.
240
Okay.
241
It's outdated.
242
Yeah, sure.
243
It was the hottest, coolest thing a thousand years ago, but we found better ways of communicating.
244
We've found better ways of sharing ideas, sharing thoughts, sharing experiences.
245
You can't get the whole feeling of something out of just text you
246
if you miss some of the nuance uh
247
if you want to talk about something
248
that teaches you racism there's plenty of movies that do that right there's plenty of documentaries
249
the 13th being a good one uh
250
when they see us is a very popular one as well both those by ava du verni
251
or however you pronounce your name of it actually never 10
252
seconds name being said uh uh books old movies television good uh you shane
253
oh my god okay um
254
so we're gonna have our rebuttals both are valid i guess you know one is saying
255
that one is educational one is saying there's more modern
256
and easier access ways to find such education um shane are
257
you ready for your rebuttal sure all right it starts now
258
if we're talking about uh convenience and advancement nothing has advanced past books
259
because say for instance the big one hits here in la
260
uh-oh electricity's out you have lost all media except for uh-oh you have a book
261
and that nothing can stop that uh except water perhaps
262
but you avoid water you're gonna be fine whereas electricity can
263
short circuit at any moment you can lose power you don't
264
have a backup you're you're done knowledge is gone then whereas
265
a book all you need is your eyes you need good eyes like me unlike courtney hey
266
25 seconds left all right oh i still got plenty of
267
time that's awesome we're also talking about volume here right uh you've got plenty of great documentaries i don't disagree
268
that documentaries are also cool but we're talking about reading here uh
269
but you're talking about volume a documentary is roughly two to
270
three hours a book can compress tens of hours of knowledge
271
that you're not going to sit there
272
and watch a movie for for 24 hours
273
but you can read a book piecemeal by piecemeal every day and keep getting more knowledge.
274
It can be taken back so much.
275
Time's up, sir.
276
Excuse me.
277
Time's up, sorry.
278
Ian, are you ready for your rebuttal?
279
Yeah, sure.
280
Okay, begin.
281
Okay, well, this whole idea of getting knowledge during a certain amount of time goes against your feelings,
282
Shane, because when I get a book, it takes me months to finish, okay?
283
And with a documentary, they can get, they can compress those ideas down into something that I could enjoy
284
and take what I need from it within a matter of two hours.
285
I can't read a book in two hours.
286
I can learn about 500 things before I learn one thing from a book because I just cannot.
287
I get three pages in and I'm just like, no. And also, have you ever heard of the Library of Alexandria?
288
Guess what, those were books and they burned and we lost that information.
289
So the same could happen to books.
290
Yeah, that's right, they're combustible.
291
Guess what isn't combustible?
292
A movie on a server that exists all around the world, bitch.
293
Oh!
294
I yield my time! goodness you you had one second to
295
yield um wow all right excellent arguments from both sides i think it's very valid
296
that both you guys said with uh with which resource is easier to lose
297
and with how much time you can gain information personally i
298
think i'm surprised i think ian's argument is very valid
299
that there's other forms of media there's other ways to find education um and quicker ways to learn it.
300
And it's more portable and less flammable.
301
So Kevin, would you agree or disagree?
302
It's less flammable unless you're talking about the old celluloid movies.
303
Those are very flammable.
304
You yielded your time, sir.
305
Kevin?
306
I actually do agree.
307
Ian made a really good point at the end where it was about condensing of time for information.
308
Shane had valid points, but you got to get that information quick.
309
It's 2020, not 1820.
310
Yeah, in the age of information, you got to get it quick.
311
You know what I'm saying?
312
You heard it from Smosh, guys.
313
Reading is bad.
314
Don't do it.
315
Reading is good just on other devices or reading subtitles on a movie.
316
Just support Jeff Bezos and get that Kindle, guys.
317
Get that Kindle.
318
But if you're going to read, if you're going to have books on your bookshelf, bookcase, whatever you call it, just read them.
319
It's not cool to just have books you haven't read.
320
I love reading books with paper in my hand.
321
I love turning the pages.
322
I like that it's this little thing.
323
It feels more meaningful to carry a book around with me than my phone.
324
So I do fully, I understand both sides.
325
I think I was honestly the perfect mediator for this.
326
That's next.
327
Point one for Ian.
328
Point one for Ian.
329
I think I'm going to quit now.
330
You get one piece of sour skinny.
331
I'm going to retire from debate.
332
This next debate pits Courtney versus Shane.
333
Well, I'm off to a hot start.
334
The topic is blades versus skateboard.
335
Rollerblades, that is.
336
Who's going to be taking what side?
337
I'm rollerblades.
338
Skateboard.
339
Courtney is defending rollerblades.
340
Shane is defending skateboarding.
341
Since Shane began last time, I'm going to have Courtney begin.
342
All right.
343
And you may start now.
344
As someone who purchased rollerblades during quarantine and has been rollerblading around my neighborhood as a form of exercise, I can say that rollerblading is very convenient,
345
not only for fun, but also for transportation.
346
When you're riding rollerblades, it's your two feet separated.
347
You can go whatever speed you want.
348
You don't need to worry about grinding or ollieing to get to point A to point B.
349
And you can have your shoes tied on your shoulder for when you want to go into a store, you just take them off and get in.
350
People don't look at rollerblades and see
351
that kid's a rebel he's not supposed to be skating around
352
here karen's aren't gonna get mad at someone with rollerblades
353
and you they're more graceful
354
and as you've seen on tiktok the rollerblade ancestor roller skates are having a comeback people enjoy walking around
355
and feeling like they're floating
356
and sometimes they put cool music to it skateboarding's old news they've already been doing
357
that but it's not as cool because that skateboard skateboards are they smell bad
358
and her rollerblades that's time shane are you ready i yes
359
i think i'm ready i have no idea what her argument
360
was i don't were you just filling time at the end
361
no all right i'm trying shane you may start now yes
362
well see you're not allowed to bring uh roller skating into this rollerblading is the mac
363
and me to et uh it is you're talking about rollerblading is is like the
364
rollerblading is to the X Games what Nickelback is to rock.
365
It's just a gross impersonation that is nothing more than just a tragedy to experience.
366
And I'll give you two words, Tony Hawk, name a famous rollerblader.
367
And it's not Tony Hawk.
368
It is not Tony Hawk at all.
369
Rollerblading existed for like five years in the 90s.
370
And then we're all like, yeah, we're done with that.
371
I swear, frigging, what's it called?
372
Tamagotchis are remembered with more fonder memories than rollerblading.
373
Rollerblading is just, it's the device used to establish bad guys in 90s high school movies.
374
It's like, they're the bad guys.
375
They rollerblades because they suck.
376
And that's the strong arguments on both sides.
377
Courtney, are you ready for your rebuttal?
378
Yes.
379
Courtney Miller, you may begin now.
380
At a skate park, there's no discriminating over which type of athletes are on the skate park.
381
Everyone has a chance to roll around in the skate park.
382
Like at Venice Beach, you see so many people rollerblading around on the walk.
383
Why are you laughing at me, Shane?
384
Also, skateboards are very well known to have not very smooth wheels.
385
And when you're rolling over bumps and stuff, your feet feel like they're getting tickled.
386
And it doesn't feel nice when you're skateboarding on the street.
387
Rollerblades have gel wheels.
388
And they're much smoother for a much smoother ride.
389
And they're part of your feet.
390
Okay?
391
They are safer.
392
Because on rollerblades, you're not as apt to be grinding and doing crazy tricks and getting yourself hurt.
393
Rollerblades, it's usually you're just running, but it's faster because you're gliding.
394
Skateboarders are always causing trouble.
395
There's always signs that say no skateboarding skateboarding.
396
Not as many signs as people say no rollerblading because rollerblading isn't as much of a problem.
397
They're not as destructive.
398
And that's your time.
399
Wow.
400
Wow.
401
Strong, strong rebuttal.
402
Thank you.
403
Courtney Miller.
404
Thank you.
405
Shane Top, are you ready for your rebuttal?
406
Sure.
407
You may begin.
408
Oh yeah.
409
Rollerblading is so much easier on your feet.
410
Why don't you argue for training wheels and bumpers in the bowling alley as well, okay?
411
No, it's about being cool.
412
It's about challenging yourself and skateboarding is so much more challenging.
413
There's way more tricks you can do.
414
You tried to accuse skateboarders of being bad people at one point there.
415
Well, I noticed there was a famous video from a couple
416
of weeks ago where a ton of skateboarders all formed and went to a protest for Black Lives Matter.
417
So if you're saying those people are bad people, well, hello, Donald Trump.
418
Once again, I think I could have come out here and just said Tony Hawk.
419
That's all I had to say is Tony Hawk guys, Tony Hawk.
420
All right.
421
And also Tony Hawk pro skater best video game.
422
Come on.
423
Name a good rollerblading video game.
424
I yield my time.
425
And your time's up.
426
Okay.
427
Well, Shane, may I remind you, this wasn't an argument of is skateboarding
428
or rollerblading cool it was an argument of blades versus skates skateboards
429
that is you know i i just want to point out one of the first points
430
that courtney made which very
431
which confused me quite a lot she said you can ride to a store
432
and then on rollerblades and take them off
433
and walk in what are you walking on i told you my shoes your socks did you hear what i
434
but you didn't listen to my whole argument.
435
Because I said, have your shoes with you.
436
You carry shoes with you?
437
You see those cool people with their shoelaces tied together and they're slung over their shoulder.
438
And then when they take the blades off, they put those shoes on and then they tie the blades and throw them over their shoulder.
439
Well then you need to go outside more or watch more movies.
440
What movie are you referring to?
441
Xanadu and Xanadu only.
442
That's the 80s.
443
That's the roller skates.
444
Same vehicle.
445
No, no. I don't care.
446
The arguments are done, Ian.
447
You're comparing a Kia to a Lamborghini.
448
The debate's over.
449
This one's a little tough for me.
450
I'm going to have to throw it to Kevin from Heaven.
451
What do you think, Kevin from Heaven?
452
That was also hard.
453
I mean, I'm an avid roller skater, but I also skateboard too.
454
So Shane did definitely argue that there was a lot of cool things about skateboarding and how rollerblading is not cool.
455
Courtney, I felt like you had some all right arguments, but I felt like a lot of them fell flat like
456
as an avid roller skater taking your shoes off to go
457
into like a 7-eleven the worst thing ever i just walk in with my skates
458
and get yelled at and kicked out
459
so i will have to say shane uh you did you won me over especially
460
when you talked about tony hawk
461
but also i'm upset at you you forgot the game uh
462
jet set radio was an awesome rollerblading game jet set radio was sick
463
yeah so tony hawk and the skateboarder showing up during blm you did not see rollerbladers going to the BLM protests.
464
No, because they're too busy trying to tie their shoes together.
465
So I give this one to Shane.
466
Nice.
467
You deserve it.
468
Those kids, I've been skateboarding my whole life.
469
Like you can't.
470
Shane, would you like to take this next one?
471
Hello and welcome to the National Debates.
472
You're watching C-SPAN.
473
I'm your moderator, Kevin Gurkus.
474
We have our debaters here.
475
We have Ian Hecox presenting that Friends was a bad show versus Courtney Miller saying that Friends is a good show.
476
And now we should say that the way this is presented is saying that it is currently a good show, that it holds up as well.
477
So, Ian, would you like to begin?
478
When I go on a dating app and somebody lists Friends as their best show,
479
I know immediately that I'm immediately suspicious of their taste because there's much better things out there on TV than Friends.
480
So, I would have to assume then that that person is just an idiot.
481
friends must must just appeal to the lowest common denominator it's it's
482
and really like okay even with even without
483
that said it has a laugh track any show with a laugh track anytime
484
that you're being told
485
when to laugh is just not great does friends have a
486
laugh track it has a laugh track right i think it's
487
got a laugh track yeah fashion choices in the show uh
488
they do not hold up they don't hold up anymore i'm sorry
489
and that is time okay courtney miller uh it is your turn we are not arguing
490
that friends is the best show we're arguing whether it's good
491
or not and i will say
492
that it is good for several reasons it was ahead of its time
493
and we're saying whether it would held up it doesn't necessarily hold up in a lot of ways
494
but it did normalize some unconventional things as as lesbian couples trans parents
495
and as they did make fun of them in certain light, but at least it was normalizing their existence as well as
496
the characters had a lot of progression in like women becoming powerful, uh, people in business.
497
Like Rachel began as a runaway bride who was then a waitress at a cafe.
498
Then she became an executive at a fashion company, Monica becoming an owner of a catering company, powerful women owning a large apartment, taking care of themselves, owning the apartment where everyone came
499
and it's normalizes living in New York
500
and it's a cool thing to see New York
501
and from the just common people who are all very different from each other.
502
And yes, there's people like Ross who are problematic and annoying, but every cast needs that annoying problematic character to bounce off of.
503
And that is time.
504
All right.
505
It is time for your 30 second rebuttals.
506
30 seconds?
507
Oh, it is a one minute rebuttal.
508
All right.
509
Ian, your one minute rebuttal begins now.
510
Funny that you had mentioned diversity.
511
Could you Tell me, what makes the cast so diverse, Courtney?
512
Because I mean, what is it?
513
Joey comes from an Italian descent?
514
Is that the diversity you're talking about?
515
It's not diverse at all.
516
And you would not see a cast like that in a new sort of show.
517
They've progressed beyond that.
518
And also showing women in power.
519
We didn't learn anything about their jobs.
520
They just said, oh, she works at this thing, and we're all like, cool.
521
We don't see her actually crushing it at her job.
522
We just see them hanging out in their house or in the coffee shop.
523
We never see them doing their jobs.
524
We never see them owning the workplace.
525
No, don't shake your head at me.
526
No, this is what I know from the eight episodes that I've seen.
527
They're always just in their apartment.
528
And that is time.
529
Courtney, your rebuttal begins now.
530
There is a lack of racial diversity in the main cast, but so do so many TV shows today still.
531
So that's something clearly the world is still working on.
532
And the diversity that I did explain was like sexual orientation, as well as, you know, being trans at that.
533
Was it Chandler's mom or dad?
534
And it is not true.
535
They are always being shown at work.
536
Rachel is shown having to fire people, deal with problematic assistance, attractive assistance, very real issues that people deal with all the time in business.
537
You always see Chandler at work.
538
He works his way up in business and he's also an executive.
539
They're not always in their apartment.
540
And even when they're in their apartment, they're still killing it running.
541
Monica is being a very organized, powerful person, taking care of her friends.
542
And yes, there's still shows that are even more problematic than this one.
543
I yield my time, you.
544
All right.
545
Well, this is certainly an interesting one uh i unfortunately ian
546
although i do personally think friends is a just piece of uh
547
you presented no reasons you simply just kept calling it a bad show and said
548
that anyone who likes it is also dumb you insulted its
549
laugh track even though multicam sitcoms that's kind of the thing
550
uh doesn't have to be what multicam sitcom doesn't have a laugh track why does it That's no excuse.
551
Courtney actually presented some arguments, whereas you did not.
552
Despite myself thinking friends is just a steaming pile.
553
I give this a point to Courtney.
554
I understand.
555
Like I said, I don't know how many episodes I've seen, but they always just seem to be in their apartment.
556
And I'm like, where did they make all that money?
557
I don't ever see it.
558
Oh, it's very unrealistic that they can afford those apartments.
559
And they try to justify it with like, well, it was my grandmother, so it's rent controlled, but it's not a good show.
560
I hate Ross, but I won, thank you.
561
I'd be curious, I'm actually curious because people are constantly talking about all the things
562
that don't hold up or are problematic now from older shows.
563
I'd be more curious what shows do hold up because I feel like that's a much smaller category.
564
Yeah, very true.
565
I would love to look into that.
566
The Wire freaking holds up.
567
The Wire is so freaking good.
568
But I mean like sitcoms, like comedies especially.
569
Yeah, comedy ages the fastest.
570
Yeah, because people make fun of what they don't understand, right?
571
What they find ridiculous.
572
Well, it's also like people find comedy in things that make people uncomfortable.
573
So where like gay couples.
574
And it makes fun of each other.
575
Yeah, like gay couples, trans issues, those things made people uncomfortable in the 90s.
576
So there was comedy there.
577
That's why a lot of people have trouble looking back at some of the stuff on like Seinfeld.
578
Also, where do all the babies go after they're born?
579
You see them, the person is pregnant in Friends
580
and then they have a baby and then you see like maybe three out of the rest of the 300 episodes.
581
They just are like, oh, the baby's grandma.
582
I don't know, it's not here.
583
Like what?
584
That's just how shows are.
585
Don't make them have a baby if you're not gonna have the baby there.
586
I know they could have pulled the whole house.
587
All right, sorry.
588
So, well, I give that one to Courtney as well.
589
Courtney, could you take this next one?
590
This one is Ian versus Shane.
591
Birds are scarier versus fish are scarier.
592
Ian is advocating for birds.
593
Shane is advocating for fish.
594
I'm going to give Ian the first argument.
595
Are you ready?
596
Yes.
597
And your time begins now.
598
Think about the things that scare you the most.
599
Sound.
600
Sound is such a, it's such a, like an instigator for fear.
601
Think about those horror movies that use sound to instill fear in you.
602
That's just one of them, but there are many.
603
The sound of the chainsaw in Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
604
Sound is so important that it plays into fear.
605
Birds.
606
Oh my God.
607
It's scary.
608
What does a fish do?
609
I yield my time.
610
You have 10 seconds left.
611
That's it?
612
All right.
613
Got 10 seconds. Or a peacock.
614
Time.
615
Oh my God.
616
That's just putting, that's hell on me to edit.
617
You know that.
618
That was half of your argument.
619
It was just sounds.
620
Okay.
621
Shane, are you ready for your argument? Of course.
622
Your time begins now.
623
Sounds are scary, but what's scarier is lack of sound, silence.
624
What's even more scary and the ultimate fear that all of us have deep down is the fear of the unknown.
625
And we are unaware of over 90% of the Earth's ocean, which is where fish dwell.
626
That is their home.
627
They live in the unknown.
628
They live in the depths.
629
They live where we cannot breathe.
630
they live in our death they are demons every single one
631
even a koi fish is a demon they're just waiting you can't see them that's what's
632
so scary you've and and you're dealing with the lasophobia on top of it
633
that you're jumping down into the depths you can't see where
634
they are they can see you they can feel you they can sense you
635
and they're coming for you the the creature from cloverfield cthulhu
636
jaws godzilla all fish all live in the ocean time wow
637
very interesting points from both of you uh ian are you
638
ready for your rebuttal absolutely your time begins now shane we're
639
not talking about ocean being scary we're talking about fish
640
and the things in the ocean
641
that scare me are not fish they're sharks they're octopi they're jellyfish which are not fish those Those are not fish.
642
Yeah, I guess a shark is a fish.
643
Why are birds scary?
644
All right, that's true.
645
Shark or fish. Are birds scary?
646
Birds are scary because they can come at you fast and without, look, birds are so dumb,
647
you can't anticipate what they're gonna do.
648
You've seen that magpie swooping video.
649
They're crazy.
650
They're freaking crazy.
651
And they are descendants from dinosaurs, mother .
652
Dinosaurs, the ultimate fear-inducing thing.
653
They still have that drive for killing in them.
654
It's bred into them.
655
They've evolved, but they still have that instinct to rip you apart and kill you.
656
I yield my time, you.
657
Shane, are you ready for your rumpel?
658
Yes.
659
Your time begins now.
660
I'd like to thank my opponent for naming a bunch terrifying fish sharks
661
and octopi are both in the fish category octopus are not
662
fish sorry uh they're okay as as dinosaurs are not technically birds dinosaur
663
if dinosaurs were so tough they would have survived the comments
664
but you know who did fish they survived there's plenty of species
665
that are super old
666
and man they're all they're all coming for you how many
667
birds kill people per year versus sharks okay sharks are crazy
668
and they're coming for you all right they take people out
669
man they're huge the biggest bird is maybe what the uh
670
the uh california osprey it's it's what you know got a
671
seven foot wingspan that's pretty great a shark can get up to 15 feet
672
and that's just that's just pure metal crunching jaws of terror
673
fish are also uh from hell that's your time fish are
674
from hell okay valid valid arguments from both sides uh excellent
675
bringing up of sharks uh ian you could have argued
676
that we have less we have less opportunity to come across a shark but
677
that was all in your argument today also not a lot
678
of people not a lot of people die from sharks how
679
many people die from birds do what do you remember the
680
most dangerous animal in in australia sirs you yielded your time
681
it's a bird it's the cassowary however shane had a very
682
strong argument uh sharks are very dangerous octopuses freak me out
683
uh kevin what do you think yeah i kind of agree ian ian had a strong argument with the dinosaurs
684
but he missed it talking about cassowaries or ostriches
685
or the big the big birds those ones that'll gorya uh shane did bring in cthulhu and Godzilla, which I don't think are fish.
686
That is kind of a negative.
687
We don't know.
688
True.
689
Isn't Cthulhu an octopus face?
690
He's an elder god.
691
Octopus are mollusks.
692
I will have to say, Shane, I didn't have an opinion on either of them to begin with, and Shane made me feel a little bit more terrified of the ocean, just slightly more.
693
Though I don't know where he got his facts from.
694
I didn't fact check him.
695
Somebody snopes Shane on this one, please.
696
Alright, so Shane, and you do get the point.
697
Thank you.
698
Sorry, Ian.
699
I should have spent more time on the dinosaur connection.
700
And manipulate us, yeah.
701
Dinosaurs were so tough, they would have survived the meteor.
702
Not so tough.
703
But birds can fly.
704
Some of them survived, I guess.
705
Like the birds are descendants of them, right?
706
I'm more likely to come across an angry bird than an angry shark, you know?
707
Did the fish even survive?
708
I know the alligators survived and sharks survived.
709
Well, I guess- Plenty of things.
710
Plenty of fish.
711
I keep forgetting sharks or fish.
712
it's crazy because well because like dolphins are mammals
713
so yeah you know yeah i get them mixed up all
714
right welcome back this next argument is going to be are hot cheetos food
715
or are they not food courtney is in favor of them
716
being food shane believes they are not food shane you may begin uh
717
you see food is is is one thing
718
but uh hot cheetos are not technically in the category of
719
food the Department of Health puts Hot Cheetos under the same category as all drugs,
720
steroids, crack cocaine, heroin.
721
This is the category that Hot Cheetos fits in due to the extreme effects it has on the body.
722
Now, Hot Cheetos, however, are the only good drug.
723
They're a drug that increases your logic, your charisma, your strength.
724
I ate a Hot Cheeto the other day and threw a smart car at a building.
725
And it was an empty building.
726
They needed to destroy it.
727
They were taking it down.
728
And so I threw a smart car at it and blew it up.
729
And the construction worker was like, thank you so much.
730
You just saved a whole day of work for us.
731
And I was like, no problem, man.
732
It's hot Cheetos.
733
What they do is they find hot Cheetos from a certain area of the savannah.
734
They extract a safe amount.
735
I'm sorry, Shane.
736
I'm going to have to stop you right there.
737
I just, even if you weren't running out of time, I would have still stopped you.
738
Okay.
739
That was the worst thing I've ever heard in my life.
740
We are all now stupider because of you.
741
Thank you for quoting Billy Madison.
742
It had to happen at some point.
743
Paraphrase that terribly.
744
I never thought we would need a fact checker on these debates, but I think next time we will have to hire one.
745
Okay, Courtney?
746
Allow me to take you on a journey.
747
There's this restaurant in Long Beach where they serve you gourmet mac and cheese topped with egg, bacon, and you guessed it, flaming hot Cheetos.
748
Restaurants would not legally be able to serve drugs in a restaurant, not of the caliber of cocaine or crack.
749
Also, if you look at the definition of food, it is something that is consumed, It's edible to gain nutrients from and process through the body.
750
A bag of Fire and Flaming Hot Cheetos has nutrition facts on the back.
751
Therefore, you gain nutrition.
752
If anything is edible, you can consider it food.
753
If it comes from cheese, not cheetahs, Shane, it is dehydrated cheese.
754
And if you put it, it's a topping on mac and cheese, and it's got to be edible and it's freaking delicious
755
and it makes anything that you eat that makes your poop feel bad later, it's got to be damn good.
756
And that's your time.
757
Thank you, Courtney.
758
Shane, come on, give me something to work with.
759
Shane, are you ready for your rebuttal?
760
It was roughly, I think, around 20,000 BC that Lucifer and God made a pact.
761
They needed to make something that was both the encapsulation of purity and evil.
762
And that thing was hot Cheetos.
763
Hot Cheetos predate, man.
764
and predates food also.
765
You know, God created drugs before food.
766
And so Cheetos was the king of them.
767
And I'd like to also point out that restaurants do serve drugs.
768
Krispy Kreme's a thing.
769
Those donuts are just, I'm addicted, I'm hooked.
770
And also they do serve one of those long johns where they inject it with black tar heroin, just filled to the brim with black tar heroin.
771
And it's so good.
772
Anyways, my point earlier was they extract hot cheetah blood
773
and use that and they dehydrate that to turn that into the dust that they use on Cheetos.
774
And what differentiates hot Cheetos from Cheetos, and you're referring to Cheetos.
775
Shane, I'm sorry you're out of time.
776
But the hotness is the drug.
777
Well, Courtney, I don't know how you're gonna match up against this.
778
So it's a tough one.
779
Are you ready?
780
Yeah.
781
Shane, I love that you brought up the hotness Because
782
when creating a chip or any kind of snack and you want it to be spicy, what do they incorporate, would you say?
783
It would be, yeah, that's right, chili peppers of some kind.
784
If that's included in hot peppers, not hot tita blood, that's how you get spicy.
785
And if a chili pepper is involved, then it's definitely food at the very least from that sore detail.
786
You know
787
when you ate the bottom of Cheez-Its at a bag it's
788
just the crumbs that's powder that's basically cheetos it's just powdered cheese
789
and cheeses are not they are edible and they are food
790
and cheetos blood is illegal in the u.s you know that you're my time you illegal like a drug wow
791
this is this is a pretty easy one i mean i guess i just i mean there's nothing else
792
that i really have to say i'm gonna have to give
793
this one to shane oh my god what are you talking about
794
ian you're telling me i'm kidding i'm kidding it goes to
795
courtney sorry shane shane be ashamed of yourself you should be
796
ashamed of yourself this is a i'll never be we're trying
797
to we're trying to create a respectable information yeah we're trying to create a respectable uh debate show
798
and you come in here with your shenanigans
799
and think you can just spread lies i'm only talking i'm
800
only i'm only telling the truth here i'm a truth warrior
801
yeah we really do need we really do need you get fact checked
802
if anybody listening to this can fact check shane on all
803
this too yeah i'm really not sure about the cheetah thing i just don't know i think the thing
804
that i want to know the most is drugs were created by God before food?
805
Yes.
806
That's a bold claim, sir.
807
You really need to sort out your priorities.
808
So like the Garden of Eden was all crack before?
809
Yes.
810
The forbidden fruit was a nugget of weed.
811
Yeah.
812
All right.
813
Welcome back to the annual debates.
814
Thank you for coming to this boiler room in the back of a payless.
815
Hello.
816
I am here with Ian Hecox defending at home shoots versus Courtney Miller defending studio shoots.
817
As some of you listeners may or may not know, we in these past couple months have been shooting from home,
818
filming whole sketches ourselves, and then having editors piece it all together.
819
And now we're back to shooting in the studio together a little bit.
820
So we'll see which one is ultimately better.
821
I am your moderator, Bus Bonson.
822
Courtney, would you like to begin?
823
When you think of a shoot at a studio, you immediately picture the crew.
824
That is a large group of people all working together to make sure the shoot keeps going smoothly.
825
And that's their job.
826
Filming in a studio creates more job stability and in general, more jobs when you have a full crew, including freelancers and art department.
827
You're also getting more social interaction.
828
It's mentally healthy for you.
829
And when you have a crew, aka a cameraman or a shredder who is as handsome as Kevin Heaven, you definitely don't have to worry about tech when you're just acting.
830
When you're at home working by yourself, you have to worry about sound, about how the set looks, about whether the line is funny or not.
831
You have to worry about all these things that will distract you from giving your best performance.
832
In your alone apartment, you don't even know
833
if your best performance is your best performance because you're by yourself
834
and you're going crazy and you miss your friends and you just want to be hugged every once in a while.
835
And sometimes you really miss those lunches where you just get to like sit in the green room.
836
Time.
837
I'm Ian.
838
You may begin now.
839
Where did we all start in creating content?
840
Where did we all begin? In our homes.
841
Every once in a while, somebody needs to go back to their roots.
842
They need to go back to see where they came from.
843
The at-home shoots allowed that.
844
It brought us all back to what was truly important.
845
It gave us a look into a 360 view of what it takes to create content, which is important and it gives you very important perspective on make on making content
846
so that you can then respect the others
847
that put in a lot of work
848
when we do get back into studio shoots helps boil everything down
849
and and time you thank you for
850
that uh nokia commercial ian uh courtney your rebuttal begins now
851
while i do appreciate where smosh came from as well as the hard work
852
that a lot of solo youtubers do
853
when they're doing a lot of things even the most successful youtubers will hire an editor who's better at
854
that job than they are but not even
855
that can be done working from home what i'm talking about is teamwork
856
and being able to work well with others and
857
when you are in a crew surrounded by people you bond you you learn how to allow other people's opinions
858
or expertise to step in and it's of the good building blocks to be a good employee and have good work ethic.
859
And how much time do I have left?
860
15 seconds.
861
I just drew a blank.
862
Also, who doesn't want to look at Tim sometimes doing the little clack thing?
863
Oh, God.
864
It is Ian's turn for a rebuttal.
865
Begins now.
866
Certainly.
867
As you can see, Ian's mark.
868
Courtney.
869
Ian.
870
Dumb.
871
Ian.
872
Smart.
873

893
Courtney.
894
Dumb.
895
Now, you've yielded your time, sir.
896
Courtney Dump.
897
What Ian has just presented is a piece of information that I think is very important that I did not consider before, which was
898
that clearly at-home shoots for the past couple months have driven Ian into a narcissistic mental breakdown the likes of The Shining.
899
I can only assume that at-home shoots are actually really bad for us now
900
because of what Ian just repeated over and over and over again Ian,
901
you had the win locked down you could have just stayed silent but you had to berate your co-worker
902
for a minute
903
I have to now switch this has been just a back and forth tennis match of logic
904
I have to give the point to Courtney now because
905
but under Courtney's basis is love and Ian's turned into hate and I I cannot know
906
Just that clip on Instagram god god oh man yeah yeah i concur on
907
that one shane i think that's a great a very apt
908
choice ian had me on the first half to the point
909
even he didn't even need a rebuttal you you were convinced as well me too
910
and then it just i don't went downhill after
911
that plus courtney did call me uh handsome so I gotta appreciate that one as well.
912
Anytime.
913
Ian Smart, Courtney Dumb, Kevin Beautiful.
914
Oh, dang.
915
I think I'm feeling some bias coming from me, so maybe I have to withdraw my statement.
916
Yeah, all right.
917
Well, Courtney gets the win here.
918
Congrats on the W.
919
I concede.
920
I concede too.
921
I see that you're a very mean boy.
922
Get the f* out.
923
I think that finishes is the debate of this podcast.
924
What are the points?
925
What are the points?
926
Courtney.
927
Courtney has finished it with three.
928
So Courtney in first place with three points.
929
Shane in second place with two points.
930
Ian, one point.
931
Oh my gosh.
932
I was supposed to just be a moderator for this.
933
And I f*ing Cletus!
934
Good job.
935
Well, that was the end of our debate.
936
Good job.
937
That was the end of our debate.
938
Truly, some A battle of wits and minds.
939
It was a hard fought battle, but I think everyone came out looking really great.
940
Everyone looks so good today.
941
Everyone looks so good.
942
That's all the matters.
943
We're all dumb, but we look good.
944
And that's what's most important.
945
So yeah, if you guys want to see more of this, let us know.
946
But before we end, we got to get to that shoot, dude.
947

And then for the people who want more debates, put in the comments what other debate topics you'd want.
962
This one comes from Kaylin Michelle.
963
As many, because of the current situation, I've been working from home, which really means I found myself cleaning more than I ever have.
964
I keep my cleaning supplies in a caddy, which I have out on the floor.
965
My Febreze bottle was on top of another cleaner.
966
When I bent down to get something out of the caddy, I hit my cheekbone against the Febreze bottle.
967
It hurt badly, but I ignored it.
968
Well, it turns out I had bruised my cheekbone from the collision with the Febreze bottle.
969
I looked like someone had hit me.
970
Being in a stay-at-home order, I thought I could get away with without having to tell anyone, because who wants to admit such a shoot dude?
971
That was until my coworker questioned my bruise on a work Zoom call.
972
Nothing like having to tell your coworkers and boss you lost a fight with a cleaning bottle.
973
Shoot, dude.
974
Aww.
975
Hold on.
976
She hit her face.
977
She bumped her face into a plastic Febreze bottle so hard.
978
They have those metal cylindrical ones.
979
The metal solid like the can the aerosol can
980
but it didn't like how is it it was
981
so it was like locked in place so
982
that it wouldn't move I think it was just it was just sitting it like open
983
and you call into boot chain No, I'm just like I believe it cuz that's such a weird thing.
984
Yeah weird story I'm just curious about that so I think it's like I think it's like a two-tier
985
Caddy kind of thing so she had the Febreze in the top in the top like open It's like one of those, like, you know, those Ikea, teal Ikea things.
986
So there's top and then there's the bottom.
987
There's a thing on the bottom.
988
She bent down and she bonked her face against the bottom.
989
Oh, like, okay.
990
So she went downward.
991
Yeah.
992
Yeah.
993
She went downward.
994
Got it.
995
Smacked her face on a Ferreeze bottle.
996
Have you guys ever had a black eye?
997
I haven't.
998
I got, I got one from playing, uh, spider tag, which is a game you play on a playground where,
999
one person is has their eyes closed and they can go anywhere
1000
and then everyone else has eyes open
1001
but they can only stay on the equipment they can't touch the ground
1002
and you do it like late at night for some reason
1003
that i was an adult i was an adult
1004
when i was playing this by the way
1005
and i smacked head first into another person
1006
and we both had fun guys it was great i don't think i ever had a black guy
1007
but a bruise that's crazy man honestly you're there they're like a febreze bottle.
1008
Okay.
1009
Tell me if your home's not safe.
1010
Yeah.
1011
It's always weird having to defend a black guy and be like, I swear it's not domestic abuse.
1012
It's a Febreze bottle.
1013
Not that that's a joke.
1014
Not that that's something funny to laugh about, but it's true.
1015
I think we've all been there where it's like, no, I swear, this is an accident.
1016
Yeah.
1017
I will say that it's a mild shoot, dude.
1018
I say it's a soft shoot, dude.
1019
Getting bonked by a Febreze bottle.
1020
Could have been worse.
1021
Because I think if that If that happened to me, I'd have just been like, oh my god, you won't believe what happened Well it
1022
so I've had similar type of shoot dudes to this
1023
because I've gotten like I have a burn on my left arm and it's from
1024
From some oil that splashed on me when I was cooking salmon, so not that cool But stuff like that happens Like what is that scar on your arm?
1025
Literally fight someone It looked like a cigarette burn for a long time.
1026
So people thought like, did someone burn you with a cigarette?
1027
And I was like, no, I flipped some salmon on a pan and some olive oil splashed onto my arm.
1028
I once had a tickle fight with a girl
1029
and I was holding onto her hand because I was trying to tickle, you know?
1030
And then I let go of her hand when she was like trying to pull away and let go.
1031
She smacked herself in the face and gave herself a black eye.
1032
Oh my God, you gave a woman a black eye?
1033
You horrible, horrible man.
1034
She hit herself.
1035
You slingshotted her own hand at her face.
1036
I know.
1037
You'd be like, stop hitting yourself.
1038
You second, you second, second winded, second hand punched a girl in the face, you bully.
1039
Second degree black eye.
1040
Wow, I don't have anything, any weird injuries like that.
1041
I've only just had like really bad acne on my face put a band-aid over
1042

Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?
Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
