Together they are filming, producing and editing an unscripted in-studio video podcast, The Smart Ho Podcast.

Carissa and David are back with a game, or more of a ‘would you rather…’ episode. Carissa fires away with ‘would you rather…’ questions for David who struggles to answer as he overanalyses every question and justifies all of his answers.

We dig into the mind of Smart and Ho’s (mostly Ho) thought process with each question. Carissa reveals her fear of car parks, and David second-guesses his answer to an internet history-related question. They discuss the pros and cons of living only in the nighttime before David questions Carissa’s honesty. 

David, although probably not bothered about sharing his non-inappropriate camera roll, breaks down why it would be so great to have a rewind button. They come to the most logical conclusion that a rewind button is an answer to all the questions!

Together they are filming, producing and editing an unscripted in-studio video podcast, The Smart Ho Podcast.

Carissa and David are back in the podcast studio to discuss what the price would be to completely give up social media. They both share what they truly would be sacrificing and how giving up social media would impact part of their lives. They share their concern about social media addiction and social media pressures.

Carissa confesses her addiction to TikTok during the pandemic— as David is staring back at her with judgement.

Lastly, the two best friends go off on a tangent about the weird viral content on TikTok, how it gets views and how creators can earn an income from the social media platform - David seems to be pro-ASMR (when done properly) and Carissa, well, has opinions on it!

Carissa asks David if he feels pressured at all by society now that he is over the age of 30. David explains his reasons as to why he doesn’t feel pressure from society but rather the concept of ageing itself is slowly taking its toll on him.

They both share concerns about their plans for reaching 30+ and what they did or not accomplish only to realise that nothing ever goes according to plan.

About The Smart Ho Podcast:

Currently residing in Melbourne, Australia, Carissa Smart and David Ho are two content creators who are best friends. 

Together they are filming, producing and editing an unscripted in-studio video podcast, The Smart Ho Podcast.

The Smart Ho duo are back to discuss ‘water’ or not they could survive without power. They do their best to break down the psychology of trying to survive on battery-powered technology and without technology at all in this modern age.

They then talk about their experiences growing up without modern-age technology and we get a glimpse of how blind David really is. (Pun intended)

And even though Carissa doesn’t want people calling her on the phone, she believes that they are both spoilt with all the luxuries of modern-age technology and they both can’t help but reminisce on the old days— Smart Ho is probably showing their age in this one.
