Shayne opens by welcoming listeners to the travel-themed debut of Smosh Reads Reddit Stories, flanked by Ian in an elaborate captain's hat and Amanda in a hat she wore by genuine choice. The banter immediately spirals: Ian's hat gets compared to a Titanic officer who snuck onto the lifeboats, a 2 AM Vegas party bus, and Amanda watching the Kentucky Derby in the 1800s. A brief shout-out to Keith's legendary on-camera head-shaving reveal — described as one of the best moments in Smosh history — bridges the silliness to the theme.

The three are aligned: it's the most honest test any relationship can face.
Before the first story even begins, the hosts land on a universally agreed principle: taking a trip together is the single best litmus test for any romantic relationship.

Robby Hoffman is the 7th of 10 children raised in a Hasidic household in Montreal, where the family was poor and comedy was a survival mechanism.
