Chance throwing out a side story that could be a whole AITA post is sending me 😂
angela's ability to lose a room and immediately turn it into the most hilarious joke is truly astounding
The apology to AUDIO listeners through TEXT is genuinely really funny to me
EVERY WORD OF THE SECOND STORY WAS SCREAMING "THIS IS A CULT RUN AWAYYYYYYY" OMFG NOOOOOOO
“You’re kind of the Olaf of Smosh” is one of the sickest burns I’ve ever heard.
14:55 his age being perfectly in between chanse and angela’s guesses was so satisfying to me
1:04:24 IM CRYINNGG the "apology to our audio listeners" being on screen for youtube watchers only is so fucking good 😭 all hail the editors
Jokes aside the Santa Claus family is actually terrifying, not in the holiday horror movie way but in the normal way absuive families are. He knows it's weird but is so scared of them that he won't confront them. I heard the update and remembered the advice to never let a partner isolate you from your family and friends bc that's a sign of abusive intentions. Scary.
"Settle down, I'm not forklift certified" 💀
chanse and angela will always be my favourite combo because they're so emotionally intelligent and empathetic and also UNHINGED
