spenner: I REMEMBERED 

tomothy: i’ve been waiting with baited breath 

spenner: you’re so mean to me
spenner: anyway. so like theoretically
spenner: if i had a wedding to go to that i didn’t want to go to alone
spenner: would you be free not this weekend or the next but the one after that (july 1)
spenner: letting you know at the jump also
spenner: it’s four and a half hours one way 

tomothy: the wedding party wouldn’t be super pissed to have an extra guest ??
tomothy: and you know i’m always down for a lil road trip
tomothy: as long as we’re getting a hotel/have a room to sleep bc 9 hours + a wedding in one day sounds Awful in a big way 

spenner: nah, apparently it’s casual foodwise
spenner: buffet & they went for the more is more approach
spenner: there’s already a room paid for
spenner: only one bed, but we’ve done that before
spenner: so? 

tomothy: depends 

spenner: name your price, my liege 

tomothy: you’re such a dweeb
tomothy: condition 1: you’re doing the driving, i’m drinking
tomothy: side condition to condition 1: i’m playing dj and navigator
tomothy: your inability to catch an exit is adorable but unfortunately also a waste of time in this case

spenner: i will not be getting drunk, works for me, carry on
spenner: the rest also works for me
spenner: idk how many cyndi lauper songs i can listen to but i love you so i will persevere 

tomothy: you cannot have a road trip without listening to cyndi lauper’s iconic i drove all night performed at least once with great emotion. like that’s my fault
tomothy: anyway
tomothy: condition 2: you don’t leave me alone unless i’m comfortable 

spenner: of course, dude 

tomothy: and condition 3: you wear that black button up with the constellations
tomothy: if it’s appropriate for the wedding
tomothy: oh god what is the dress code maybe i do not only have three conditions

spenner: lmao it’s semi-formal/cocktail
spenner: and yeah i could make that work
spenner: why do you care what i wear tho 

tomothy: it looks good on you 

spenner: thanks? 

tomothy: any time
tomothy: we’ll see if that’s all i need in return 😏

spenner: should i feel threatened in a bodily harm way or a sexy way 

tomothy: i’ll never tell :)

tomothy: i don’t even remember 

spenner: yeah we probably shouldn’t kill him then
spenner: permanent solution to a temporary problem etc etc 

tomothy: yeah you’re probably right
tomothy: but do you think anyone would Notice 

spenner: that shayne wasn’t in every single smosh video very suddenly?
spenner: i mean probably but if we take out damien too we can probably get everyone to believe a Story
spenner: you know damien would Not be Quiet about shayne’s mysterious disappearance 

tomothy: look who’s putting intent into writing now 

spenner: worst look who’s talking now sequel of all time 

tomothy: or the best

spenner: promise i’m being safe, dad 

tomothy: i like to think i’m more of a daddy than a dad 

spenner: okay. promise i’m being safe, daddy 

tomothy: i’m going to fucking kill you
tomothy: now what does that mean who the fuck is theseus 

spenner: okay so it’s like
spenner: theseus is a greek hero, he does not matter in this case - what matters is the thought experiment, the ship of theseus
spenner: so there’s a ship
spenner: and over time, every single piece of it is slowly replaced
spenner: you know to like fix it
spenner: and the thought experiment is like is the ship still the same ship with all of the pieces replaced
spenner: and if someone reassembled the replaced pieces into another boat, which ship would have more right to be considered the original ship? 

tomothy: you make my head hurt, bub 

spenner: fair but would you 

tomothy: would i
tomothy: oh my god you’re asking if i would still love you
tomothy: i still love you even when you ask me questions that you have to send me seven messages of explanation about
tomothy: take a guess

spenner: like dude the paper trail is one thing communicating threats is another
spenner: you’re really fucking up our defense in court, dude 

tomothy: he was irritating me (circumstances unimportant)
tomothy: so i told him that if i killed him, well
tomothy: i already have you on deck to hide the body
tomothy: ig he took that personally 

spenner: babe you can’t just threaten someone’s life with promise of assistance in getting away with it and not expect them to take it personally
spenner: also i feel like the circumstances might at least a little important
spenner: for our court defense, ofc

tomothy: did you just call me babe

tomothy: i don’t know how to make that smaller words 

spenner: fuck you, you know what i mean
spenner: i have no idea why they think that ?? 

tomothy: update, apparently it’s bc you said we weren’t dating and from our “behavior” and “the fact that you two boys aren’t wearing rings yet” 

spenner: they think i wouldn’t get you an engagement ring??? tf 

tomothy: spence that is so far from the point 

spenner: no look i’m offended 

tomothy: not by the fact that they think we’re engaged
tomothy: but by the fact that they think we’re engaged but you didn’t buy me a ring about it? 

spenner: YES
spenner: why tf would i be offended by them thinking i could bag tommy fucking bowe
spenner: that part is actually a point of pride maybe 

tomothy: ???? 

spenner: ???? ??

tomothy: you could???? 

spenner: i could what???
spenner: oh my god
spenner: do you mean what i think you mean 

tomothy: spence you could bag tommy bowe any day of the goddamn week
