**Shayne Topp** (0:00)
Hello, and welcome to Smosh Reads Reddit Stories. I'm Shayne, and today's theme is travel. That's why we all have silly hats on, because we're going to travel.

**Ian Hecox** (0:10)
Who is the silly hat on? Not me.

**Shayne Topp** (0:12)
I'm joined by one person who's wearing a silly hat, and one person who's wearing a hat that they wore today by their own choice.

**Amanda Lehan-Canto** (0:19)
It's me.

**Shayne Topp** (0:20)
Amanda and Ian are joining me.

**Amanda Lehan-Canto** (0:22)
Ahoy. Hola.
I feel so bad for everyone that's listening to this on a podcast, and doesn't get to see these ridiculous hats we're wearing.

**Ian Hecox** (0:33)
Can I be honest? You look like you are like a modern Titanic captain.

**Amanda Lehan-Canto** (0:39)
Thank you.

**Ian Hecox** (0:40)
Do you know what I mean? Like you were on the Titanic, and you were the one who went in the boat when they said women and children.

**Amanda Lehan-Canto** (0:44)
Yeah. You went in there and went.
They said, you're not a woman. I'm like, excuse me.

**Ian Hecox** (0:52)
Yeah.

**Amanda Lehan-Canto** (0:53)
You also. Yeah.

**Shayne Topp** (0:54)
I mean, the hat's also, well, no, the rest of the outfit isn't, but the hat's giving like, oh, it's 2 AM on the party bus in Vegas.

**Ian Hecox** (1:00)
And you're like.

**Shayne Topp** (1:01)
Oh, you suddenly were like, where did I get this hat?

**Ian Hecox** (1:02)
You like went to a Halloween party with your girlfriend who's really into Halloween, and you were like, I'm Popeye.

**Shayne Topp** (1:07)
Alright, I'm Popeye.

**Ian Hecox** (1:11)
And I'm just a woman in Barbados.

**Amanda Lehan-Canto** (1:14)
Yes, we love that.

**Ian Hecox** (1:15)
Drinking a frozen cocktail, and it's my seventh one. But god am I trying to lose weight, you know what I'm saying?

**Amanda Lehan-Canto** (1:21)
I think it's giving more Louisville, Kentucky to me.

**Ian Hecox** (1:24)
Oh, Derby?

**Shayne Topp** (1:26)
You're watching the Kentucky Derby. Back in like the 1800s or something.

**Ian Hecox** (1:30)
I'm watching the Kentucky Derby.

**Amanda Lehan-Canto** (1:31)
I think they still wear big hats.

**Ian Hecox** (1:31)
And I'm mad at all my friends right now.

**Shayne Topp** (1:32)
Do they still wear big hats?

**Amanda Lehan-Canto** (1:33)
I think so. It's like a customary thing.

**Shayne Topp** (1:36)
I don't see people wearing big hats that often.

**Amanda Lehan-Canto** (1:38)
And they should.

**Shayne Topp** (1:39)
And we should.

**Ian Hecox** (1:40)
My sisters wear big hats. They love it. Whoa.
I'm driving to our destiny.

**Amanda Lehan-Canto** (1:48)
Improvd.

**Shayne Topp** (1:51)
All right. Well, let's get into these travel stories.

**Amanda Lehan-Canto** (1:54)
Oh, we're taking the hats off?

**Shayne Topp** (1:55)
I'm taking my hat off.

**Ian Hecox** (1:56)
No, actually, Captain of Titanic, you can keep it on.

**Amanda Lehan-Canto** (1:59)
What if I just take it off and, like, I'm bald?

**Shayne Topp** (2:02)
That would be really funny.

**Ian Hecox** (2:03)
That would honestly be fun.

**Shayne Topp** (2:04)
That is not the first time that has happened on Smosh. Keith revealed that he had shaved his head for a summer date. It was an incredible reveal.

**Amanda Lehan-Canto** (2:12)
That was the best moment.

**Shayne Topp** (2:13)
It's one of the best moments in Smosh history.

**Amanda Lehan-Canto** (2:15)
Yeah.

**Shayne Topp** (2:16)
Yeah. Just so you know.
Anyways, travel.

**Ian Hecox** (2:19)
Travel.

**Shayne Topp** (2:20)
Travel is very fun, but it can come with a lot of problems. Yeah.

**Ian Hecox** (2:24)
Just like the conversation.

**Shayne Topp** (2:25)
A lot of drama. I would say it's weddings and international trips that you see the most interpersonal drama happen.

**Ian Hecox** (2:32)
You can't travel with everybody. They may be your greatest friends and you guys have like a wine night.

**Shayne Topp** (2:38)
Yeah.

**Ian Hecox** (2:38)
But you get on a trip and sometimes it doesn't work.

**Shayne Topp** (2:41)
I think it's a great-
It's a great test for any type of relationship. I think that's like a worthwhile friendship or relationship test.

**Ian Hecox** (2:50)
I have a question. Do you have to be good travelers in order to be friends with them?

**Shayne Topp** (2:58)
I just think that traveling with someone really shows is your dynamic healthy? Is there mutual respect? Is there mutual boundaries?

**Amanda Lehan-Canto** (3:09)
I feel like with relationships, you shouldn't make it official until you go on a vacation together.

**Ian Hecox** (3:14)
Okay. I kind of agree, but then I also don't because I feel like there are friends that are great, and you just might not ever be able to travel with them.

**Amanda Lehan-Canto** (3:25)
