See, I think Chance and I are morning people. Yeah. I am a morning person. I just, for some reason I'm not gonna lie. Me too. See, I think Chance and I are morning people. I am a morning person. I just, for some reason today. I hate morning. No, I just hate the morning. I don't know why right now I'm feeling just like, my body feels fine, my eyes are just still. Your eyes are sleepy.

Maybe it's allergies. I don't think so, I feel good. Okay. Okay, well, we'll leave you to your room, honey. Let's go back to our room alright well you go over there see I walk into the mother role I just fucking walk in

you don't have to I don't have to you make that choice how do you fight it I feel like if every time to be a slutty teenager I don't know yeah but that turns into

at your age it turns into cougar cougar what the hell I'm not 55 I didn't say cougars were 55 you said cougar. Cougar? What the hell? I'm not 55. I didn't say cougars were 55. You said cougar. Now I'm going to my room.

Bye. I'm going to go. I'm going to leave this convo. I am not a cougar. No, you're not a cougar. I'm a panther. What is that? No, I'm not.

What is that? What is that term you just made up? I'm a cheetah. I don't know if that's good either. Big cats. What kind of cat are you? Wow, again, aging myself. I'm a cheetah. I don't know if that's good either. Big cats. What kind of cat are you? Wow, again, aging myself. I'm a tabby.

A tabby cat? So you just sit around like old hotels and just hang out? I don't give any of the big cats. Lion? You could kind of give lion. But like a tiny little lion? Yeah, a tiny little lion. Sweet little lion?

Yeah. I give lion like Wizard of Oz lion. Okay. Yeah, like cowardly lion. I think I give Yeah. I give lion like Wizard of Oz lion. Okay. Yeah, like Howard Lee lion. Like, oh! I think I give lynx. How do we feel about lynx? I feel good about lynx.

Lynx. Hell yeah. I guess I have a big cat. Anyways. Chance. Yes. Hey. Hey.

Hi. You've only been here for a year and two months? Some change, yeah. Yes. Hey. Hey. Hi. You've only been here for a year and two months? Some change, yeah. Yeah. So Smosh, how do you feel about working here? And why should you continue? And this is your exit interview. Oh, shit.

And we're firing you. It's been really fun, you guys. It's the best thing ever. It is the best thing ever. Good. it's the best thing ever it is the best thing ever it's weird having a schedule that's so like one week on and then two weeks off three weeks off

what the hell do I do with all that time write a pilot yeah that will go nowhere how many more pilots do I need you remember that when I don't know if you guys got that when you first moved to LA. It was like, on your time you must write a script and write a pilot

and write a movie and then get ready for your book. I need to write a movie. And you're like, I'm 25. What? I just want to survive. How am I supposed to pay rent? You write it in the time when you have time to write it, because you're not doing anything else.

And then when it comes along, you already have it. It's fun. I've still, that's been the thing that I probably beat myself up for the most over all these years is I still have never completed a script of any sort. You would write a great pilot, Shane. In 2020, like in the middle of lockdown, my goal was to write one out. I wrote out an outline. I had all this stuff prepared.

And then the second I sit down, I look at that blank page. I just completely... It's terrifying. My brain is just... I'm trying to get over... And we did it recently, like a few weeks ago with Angela

when she came on, where we wrote the dumbest sketches. But my perfectionism just really, I was thinking though, this is a crazy idea, of what if we, a joke script that would never go anywhere, but just to complete a script, if we slowly wrote a script on this show. Like if one episode of this show,

we kinda plan out something. And then we write the first act in another episode. Just slowly compile. All of Smosh will write one script. We write Smosh the movie two. Oh, God. Smosh the movie three? Ghost Mates two?

Smosh the movie three. Because who knows? Ian and Anthony might have already cooked up Smosh the movie two. They might have cooked it up. That could be true. That could be true. I feel like I did so much pre-pro before I started writing the script. Like, so much outlining and character stuff before I even start writing.

That's the only way I got it out. Because I would also get so trapped in my own head. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Sometimes you just have to, like, sit down and start writing scenes that you think are funny. Yeah. And then later organizing them together. But I don't like doing that on my own.

I had a writing partner forever and we would just write scenes that we thought was really funny. See, I'm not a fan of doing it on my own. I do think I'd probably benefit from working with people, someone to hold me accountable and also someone to just kind of,

I hear about like when Anthony and Anthony talks about writing with Ian. Yeah. And I realized I'm similar to Ian where I'll throw out a lot of things, but I kind of doubt myself and I go, Oh, it's not funny. Right. Ah,

nah. And I kind of end up throwing it away before I even try. Yeah. And that sucks. And that's why nothing ever happens, but it's still one of my like ultimate goals. And I've, I said it before on the podcast,

I would like to write something in my life. And even if I just put it in the attic and I never show anyone. It'll happen. Do you have an attic in your apartment? No. But I will bust through the ceiling and I will just put it up there.

Just like on top of the floorboards? Gourds? Birds? Birds. It's morning. But I feel like also it's tough to have that creative energy because this job takes a lot. Yes, you're right. This job takes a lot, man.

This job takes a lot. I write down, so yeah, in Notes app, everyone writes down all their shit in Notes app. Yeah. And I used to use it like in different places, but now I'm just like, it's constantly feeding into this job, I'm just like, okay, gotta use that for this, gotta use that for this. And then once I use it here, I'm like, well I don't wanna kinda use it anywhere else.

I know. Well yeah, but this job is probably the most creative job I've ever had. Really? Like the most exertion of creation. Yeah. Really cool words. Wow. Really cool words.

But I feel like growing up or like before this job, it was not that much creation, not much output of creation. Yeah. I mean, every other job I've worked on before this was just a straightforward acting job. So you're put in such parameters. Did you ever have a blue collar working job? I never, ever

worked any job other than acting. Wow! Because I started acting so young. But you're really nice to service workers also. Because a lot of people who don't work Yeah. The people who go, I've been in the service industry are actually the worst people to come to a restaurant. Yes.

Oh, I've been in the service industry. I totally understand. My brother. My brother. People that say that are the people who work there for like a month. Yeah. A month. Yeah, I get it.

It's like, no, you don't. No, you don't. My brother was a waiter for a long time, and he makes sure to tip really well because he remembers. It probably also depends on what type of service job you worked to, like what restaurant maybe. 100%. Because I feel like all service jobs are probably, I openly just admitted I've never worked. Yeah, let's hear it.

Let's hear it then. But I imagine all service jobs have very similar types of pains and obstacles. But every single one is probably so different from the other. So different. I've worked service my whole life. Yeah, me too. Like since I was 13. Same.

Hey. Yeah. What was your first job? I was a host at my mom's restaurant. And my mom, she was a bartender there. I knew this. That's like a sitcom setup. That's cool as hell. I know. Your mom's a. She was a bartender there. I knew this. That's like a sitcom setup. That's cool as hell.

I know. Your mom's a bartender? Yeah. That's badass. Now she works at the Pancake Pantry. Oh my God, where? In Nashville. Oh my God, that's amazing.

But she's not bartending, obviously. Do they have a bar there? No, they close at 2. They have a pancake bar. Yeah. She's getting older, so she's like, I'm done. I'm done at 2 p.m., not 8. I'm like, I'm done. I'm done at 2 p.m. not 8.

I'm hanging up the tequila. I'm pulling out the pancake. The syrup. I understand that. Yeah, my first job was, well, my first job was

obviously babysitting. Oh, yeah. My mom would be like, oh, there's this woman. I'm like, okay. And I'd always babysit and the town over from us was very, very rich.

So these kids were nightmares. One girl, and I hated babysitting. It was just not for me. But you could make bank. But one girl, I'd sit on the couch with her, and she wasn't allowed to eat food on the couch. And I'll never forget this. You know what she was doing?

Eating food on the couch. Yeah. No, she was sitting on the couch, and I was like, whatever her name was. I was like, Emily, you're not allowed to eat food on the couch. And she grabbed two carrots, and she went. Evil. And then she just to eat food on the couch. And she grabbed two carrots and she went Evil. And then she just kept dropping them on the couch. She'd pick them up and drop them on the couch.

She's testing you. She's saying, you're not in charge of me, actually. No, they were nightmares. And they were like, they wanted to explore their witchy vibes. The girl was six in her room and she was like, la la la la. Okay, but I like that.

I like that. Do you think she was possessed by the devil? I think she was possessed by... Do you think perhaps? Whatever was going on, she was like, la, la, la, la, la.

This kid was such a brat. She would hover above her bed. Her head would spin around. Flames everywhere. She came down the stairs backwards and upside down and was like, not me. Stop crawling on the ceiling, you brat.

Swarms of locusts out of her mouth. Babysitting was, I mean, then my real first job was like, I'd scoop ice cream, aka I would do everything for this guy named Pontilis. I'm sorry. Say it again. Pontilis. Pontilis. I'm sorry. Say it again. Ponta Lee. Ponta Lee.

Goo. Yep, he was a big Greek man, and he worked at this cafe called Main Street Cafe, and he smoked like 100 cigarettes a day. And he would sit at the end of the bar, and I would scoop ice cream, aka be like the server and the cleaner. And it was in my hometown,

and my dad would come in almost every night to have a burger and then drive me home because i was freaking fucking 13 have you worked in like um like upper scale dining yeah but i was always more like a slinging beers kind of i worked at dunkin donuts for fit for three years holy that's crazy what did you do at dunkin donuts me and my little sister worked at dunkin donuts for three for three years. That's cute. I did. I was sandwich maker, which was my favorite. They have sandwiches at Dunkin' Donuts?

Yes. Egg sandwiches. Regular. Yeah, but it's all breakfast food, right? It's all. Back then, it was all breakfast food. Can I get the French dip from Dunkin' Donuts? No.

No French dip. That would make so much sense, the Dunkin' Dip. Oh, actually, that sounds pretty good. Are you listening, Dunkin' Donuts? It was sausage, egg, and cheese. And we worked near the highway, so it was very busy. And I worked the 5 a.m. shift. I was like 14 or 15 or something. And I was sandwich maker, so I would just listen in

and hear all the different orders and get them. And I would get to be really organized. You're also expo-ing. Yeah, so I didn't listen in and hear all the different orders and get them and I would get to be really organized. You're also expo-ing. Yeah, so I didn't talk to anyone, but then these Boston people would just go over and they're like, extra sausage, toasted duck. I'd like a toasted duck. And I'd be like, okay, sir, I'm trying to listen to.

This taking place in Boston adds a whole other element. Yeah. I could probably work at Dunkin' Donuts here in California and I'd be like, that job was hard, but working at Dunkin' Donuts here in California and I'd be like, that job was hard, but working at Dunkin' Donuts in Boston, in the heart of Donutville. Also Easton.

They were all owned by this one Portuguese family. They owned five Dunkin' Donuts in my town. Genius. And they only hired Portuguese people, so all of them were from straight up the Azores or Portugal. And then me and my sister were the only American people who had Portuguese descendant.

So everyone was just like, it was like Fatima, Arthur, like all these. Yes, Fatima. Did your sister get hired on after you or before you? After me, she was too young. Okay. So you got to be like the cool boss. I was like the cool kid,

but none of the khakis ever fit me. Because I was really tall. And you got that fat ass. No, I was tall. Oh. I was fucking tall. Oh, okay. My bad.

I'm sorry. My bad. I'm going to my room again. I'm going to leave. Yeah, for sure, for sure. I'm getting out of here. Mommy and daddy are talking. Go to your room. I did not have my room again. I'm going to leave. Yeah, for sure, for sure. I'm getting out of here. Mommy and Daddy are talking. Go to your room.

I did not have a fat ass. I was very tall. Oh, it's a good thing. It's a good thing. It's a good thing. No, but I was so tall. Yeah, but this was 2002. That's true.

You don't want a fat ass. It was like 1997. Oh, my God. I'm kidding. Okay. Well. Are you? Am I? Amanda actually is 55 my God. I'm kidding. Okay. Well. Are you? Am I?

Amanda actually is 55 years old. I'm 55. No, it was 2000s. So anyway. Yeah, that was my first job. Wow. You know what was cool? I gave so many people free shit.

I was just about to say, I worked at a Chili's in college. Love Chili's. I was a server until I was old enough to bartend when I turned 21. And then I was giving out so much free shit. Yeah, your friends. Oh yeah, of course. I was like, come on to the bar, you want margaritas, Presidente?

Oh absolutely. I love Chili's. Chocolate molten lava cake. The honey chipotle chicken crispers. Oh dude, Chili's is my jam. Working on the inside, it didn't disillusion you. Okay, so, Chili's is my jam. It's the shit. Working on the inside, it didn't disillusion you. Okay, so it disillusioned me to a couple of things.

You don't order steaks because they are in the freezer for as long as I work there, they would be the same steak. They don't get changed out. And they don't cook on a grill. They go into a machine that closes and you press the steak button and it cooks them. No, I've ordered steak there. There's a couple other things you don't order. What?

You do order the chicken things. Anything fried, yes, anything fried, yes. Okay, I've only gotten the chicken crispers. My entire life, I've only ordered the chicken crispers. You're a one order type of person. But the thing is, if you find something that's so friggin' good. You're a one order type of person. But the thing is, if you find something that's so frigging good. You get the honey chipotle?

No, I do the regular. I do the classic. No, they're not too spicy. I just love the classic chicken crispers. At Chili's, I'm a one order guy. If I go to a nicer, if I go to a restaurant, if I go to a more upscale restaurant go to like a more upscale restaurant,

I will pick something crazy. Yeah. But Chili's, I've gone to since I was a kid. Don't get the crazy thing. What about fajitas? I am not the sizzling, oh wait, you're asking if it's okay? Yeah.

It's just the same thing. We're like, that meat comes in and out so quickly. But like the steaks, like they don't go fast enough. And we got them in too big of quantities. Oh, boy. So it would just be sitting there for so long. The fajitas, we're getting new shipments every week.

And molten chocolate cake? Yeah, they're frozen. But that's fine. I can handle that. 100%. I kind of want to see your reaction was, ew, gross, these steaks. My reaction is, where do I get one of these machines? What?

So I could just have a bunch of frozen steaks and throw them in. Because it is pretty impressive how it gets cooked. That's true. That's so gross, Shane. That's disgusting. I mean, look. Shane. I'm a practical guy.

No. That's gross. Their chips also slap. Their chips are so thin and salty. Chips are great. Yeah. And their margaritas are a little much, but cool. Yeah, they're a little sugary, but yeah, they slap.

You liked working at Chili's. No. Where did you hear that from? I don't know. I was just coming back to it. It was fun in that it was so corporate that you can like, I worked at a lot of restaurants, a lot of restaurants. And there's corporate places, and there's corporate places that are so massively corporate that it's easy to go through the cracks.

Yeah, you can kind of fuck around. You can kind of fuck around. Mom and pop shops. Mom and pop shops, you can't really fuck around because there's not a system in place to help you. They start to put you in the family so you don't want to fuck them over or call out. That's true. That's true.

That's family restaurants. The stakes are higher because if things fuck up, that place looks out of place. And the stakes are fresh. The stakes are fresh. The stakes are actually good. But also corporate gets really tough because then they are kind of shitty

and you're just seen as a body a little bit. Yeah, 100%. You're not really seen as a person. It's really easy to call out. It's really easy to call out. It's very easy to call out. That's nice. How long did you work at Chili's? Like eight months.

And then I went to like, I went Z to A. I went to like a really, really nice fine dining place where I learned everything about cheese, about wine, about food. Like chef, we had like an hour long prep meeting every shift where they would come in and talk about cheese, wine, and food.

Were you saying yes chef? Yes, we were saying yes chef. Oh, that's so sick. Oh yeah, oh yeah. That is so cool. Actor for life. I'm only thinking about the bear. The bear.

Yeah, yes chef. 100%. Wait, did you like fine dining versus? I liked this one because this one was, it was a small restaurant. It was pretty small. Small is fine. Small fine dining. Then in LA, I've worked in a couple like, I won't say fine dining.

I'll say upscale places. They're pretty nice. Yeah. But they were much bigger. And we were still saying, yes, chef. But it was like. Yes, chef. Yes. It's like, yes, chef. It's like yes yes like yes chef it was like it's like yes chef if i was like they're like who are you again like you're not a james beard chef like

you're not right you're not michelin star you're just like whereas like small local ones it's like yes chef we're a team yeah we all go out drinking together we all hang out together we do family meal i definitely watching shows which is my only experience with that stuff it looks really cool but i at the same time i'm like i could not handle this shit it can be you could though like you something ignites and the first week is so hard oh my god your feet hurt you're exhausted you you ate way too much weird stuff. You don't know the things that you need to know. And you don't know where all the tables are. But after that, you get in a groove. Yeah.

And you literally don't think about anything else. You're like, it's a bit of a meditation. Yep. 100%. You're just kind of meditating and you're working really, really hard. But your body and your mind get used to it. And then all the people who work in restaurants are so fun and nuts. Yeah.

But also so much fun. They can become lifelong friends. Yeah. It's really cool. It's really fun. But the kitchen, don't fuck with the kitchen. The kitchen, you can't fuck with the kitchen. It's a very type of ape type of person.

Yeah, I mean, I feel like I get that. Like every single chef I've ever seen on television seems like the scariest person I've ever met. It's so weird because they're type A people that look like I get that. Like every single chef I've ever seen on television seems like the scariest person I've ever met. It's so weird because they're type A people that look like type B people. Like they have tattoos. They have the coolest hair you've ever seen. But they are perfectionists.

It's a type of art where like, as opposed to a painter gets to paint by themselves and be like, I'm fully in control of this. Like they're painters who have to work as a team. And it seems like they're as insane as most artists. And they don't care. What it is, it's not even that. It's I painted this painting, now you

have to copy this painting 50 times in a night. And they don't care about This is the original, you have to do what I did exactly like I did it. Because it's my name on it. And they just don't care and they always make you feel a little bit dumb. They'll be like, do you think that that needs butter?

And you're like, yes, chef. And that's also been in The Bear. The Bear's pretty accurate. That's my only knowledge. The Bear's pretty good. But to me, he's cool. He does seem cool. There's some chefs who you're like,

I don't know who you are. Yeah. Interesting. So cheese are. Yeah. Interesting. So cheese knowledge. Yeah. What kind of cheese knowledge do you think you have that most people don't? Is there something that you could tell like a cool cheese fact? Yeah, give us a cheese fact.

Or just more that you just can look at cheese and be like, I know what that is and I know what it pairs with. Yeah, 100% that. Definitely that. I used to know a lot more just about like a lot of things about the rind. A lot of people think like a lot of rinds, people are like, you can't eat it. Well, most of the time you actually can eat the rind. You actually can. Okay.

And it's delicious. Good to know. More so just like flavors and pairings. Got it. So like a sweet cheese. Soft cheese. Like on a charcuterie board, I'm like, there's going to be a soft cheese. Got it. So like a sweet cheese. Soft cheese is like on a charcuterie board, I'm like, there's going to be a soft cheese,

there's going to be a hard cheese, and there's probably going to be a smelly cheese, an X cheese, I call it, like something that's out there. Okay. What kind of wine usually goes with the, like? Well, it depends on the cheese. What about like a goat? Goat cheese.

You know? But there's tons of types of goat cheese. There's a ton of different types. Right. If it's a goat cheese, let's say it's a blueberry goat cheese. But there's tons of types of goat cheese. There's a ton of different types. Let's say it's a blueberry goat cheese. Okay. Blueberry goat cheese.

So blueberry is already going to be sweeter. The goat is going to be want a drier thing. Maybe a Gruner Veltliner. What the? Austrian grape. It's delicious. It's super effervescent. and I think it's so dry. With the blueberries, it kind of will do a champagne type of thing,

but it's not bubbly. I don't know what any of that means, but it sounds so cool. Did you ever have a job that you wish that you did after watching a show where you're like, I want to work there? The problem is I recognize it immediately as being a fantasized version of that job. When you're watching it on TV, you're seeing the coolest parts of a job. Okay, but even if it is a fantasy. I think I definitely...

More for the dynamics that you're talking about. Working in a restaurant sometimes sounds cool, but it's got to be the right type of restaurant. And it's the idea that I'd be working there with a bunch of cool personalities. Yes, 100%. And you're not gonna get that every time. You might work at a place and everyone sucks. On an island, it might be cool. What?

You know what? Well, if you're in space. On an island, it's cool, because you're all there together and you're all there to work. Shut up. I don't know what you're in space. On an island, it's cool because you're all there together and you're all there to work. Shut up. I don't know what you're saying. Listen, a restaurant on an island would be really cool. Oh, like.

I did that for, I worked on Martha's Vineyard for eight months and all of us were working together on the island. Because there's no one, because there's. Yeah, you can't leave the island. Oh, got it. You're just working and hanging out. It's kind of like the boat show. The boat show where they're all working on the boat. Oh, yeah, but, because there's. Yeah, you can't leave the island. Oh, got it. You're just working and hanging out. It's kind of like the boat show,

the boat show where they're all working on the boat. Oh yeah, but I would not want to work. No, no. Apps, I got no way. No, I got kind of approached about, this is like right after Disney, I got approached about like, would you want to do stand up on a,

No. Cruise. Cruise. And I, Luckily, I, Hell no. you wanna do stand-up on a cruise. And luckily, I, zero stand-up experience, zero experience now, zero experience then, and I was like, I don't think it's my bag. I know people that did that. They live on the bottom of the boat, and they get fed shit, absolute shit.

I know a ton of people who do it and they just, you can't get off the boat. Yeah, it sounds awful. And the people on the cruises. Oh, dude. Well, that's just, like the clientele, the best clientele of people that I've worked in the service industry

are here in LA, honestly. Or on an island. Or on an island. Interesting. Because islands just make people good. They're just, they're having fun, they're on vacation. It depends on an island. Or on an island. Interesting. Islands just make people good. They're just, they're having fun. They're on vacation. It depends on the island. Actually, no. Now I'm like backtracking.

Maybe people on vacation aren't that fun. No. No, you're right. People on vacation. Have you seen White Lotus? Yes. What is it about people on vacation turning into nightmares? Because they're like, I worked my ass off. And I have one week a year. Yeah, I deserve this.

Going back really quick, I was just asking Chance about cheese knowledge. Do you have donut knowledge from Dunkin' Donuts? Yeah. If you heat up a chocolate stick, it's fucking delicious.

A chocolate stick? Mmm, honey. It's honey? No. It turns into honey. It's honey? No. It turns into honey. It's not the coolest looking thing, okay? It's a big, long, black donut. Amanda.

I'm sorry. That's what it is. It's a chocolate stick. You know a glaze stick is like a big, thick, long thing? Okay? Imagine that being black. Amanda knows a lot about donuts. Listen, bitch.

You asked me. Okay. Quick recap. Okay. Oh, no. So you, Amanda. Yeah. You went from babysitting

to working at an ice cream shop for... Ponta Lisa. Ponta Lisa. To Dunkin' Donuts. To Dunkin Donuts. To Dunkin Donuts. To then a fresh catch, like, fancy dining restaurant right across the street. So then you went to fine dining.

So you know about seafood. Of course, I'm from Massachusetts. I know so much about seafood. Steamers. And then, they're my favorite food. Really? You know steamers are my favorite food? Ew.

That's gross. Little necks. They're little neck clams. You have to really take off the skin and then dip it in hot water and then butter. Let's be clear. You dip it in the hot water because they're nasty as fuck. They are. They're covered in sand.

Briny and their own shit. Little necks. Steamers. I've never heard of this. And then I worked at another restaurant called Jake and Joe's, which was where all the Patriots players, because they were right near Foxborough, would go in. You saw Tom Brady all the time? Not him.

No, not him. Cause he eats only like beets. Not him. And then I worked at Channel 7 and then I worked for the DA's office. That's right, Channel 7.

What did you do at the DA's office? The worst job on the planet. I wanted to die. My mom like knew the, knew someone at the DA's so it was in town and i just sat at the front desk behind glass making sure a bunch of people with pictures didn't get in wow to the da office i was a bit of security but i just sat there only dreaming about my lunch break that sounds actually not that bad and then i would check people in with their badges, but I was just sit. Yeah. Forever.

Did you have a computer? I had a computer, but it was monitored. I couldn't go on Facebook. In case you were a spy. Yeah. I would read, though. Like, read. Yeah.

Did I read? I don't know. I don't know what I read. Can you read? I'm not sure if I can read. So you sat at a desk at the front of the building. Yeah. Yeah.

That's pretty cool. And then worked at a restaurant. And then you went back to the restaurant. I always worked at a desk at the front of the building Yeah That's pretty cool And then worked at a restaurant And then Back to the restaurant I always worked at a restaurant forever Yeah So I worked two jobs usually all the time A restaurant was consistent

Were you working at a restaurant while you were working at NBC? No actually because I didn't have any time Full time Full time reporter Yeah Trying to get the scoop I was full time writer I couldn't be a reporter there.

You know you have to go to Wyoming. You try. You talked about this. You try. But you filmed some things. I filmed a reel. Can we get that footage at some point? Hell yeah.

It's on my YouTube. What? Yeah. I'll give it to you. It's horrific. In the past month, Massachusetts has created more than 15,000 jobs and has the lowest number of unemployment claims in the country. The victims inside this house say the two suspects came in, tied them up, held them at gunpoint, and then used their walkie-talkies to signal the getaway car.

That worker fell halfway down a 20-foot shaft while working on this tunnel over here. His foot was pinned between a pipe and the ladder that he fell off of. Well, it turns out they can't even fight that ticket today due to a mix-up of paperwork, so they have to be back in court. And we spoke to state police, and they are defending that ticket. Outside the courthouse, I'm Amanda Leehan. I do a lot of hand movement. And literally, I showed up wearing a white dress, and they were like, yeah, that's the only thing you actually can't wear.

And I was like, I was so stressed out all the time. Why can't you wear a white dress? It looks bad on camera, I guess. I would say a job that intimidates me more than chefs is news people. That shit sounds, chefs seem intense. Anyone in the news industry, to me feels like a psychopath. You're crazy, the way you view the world is different. A chef is focused on a thing.

Beautiful food, they're focused on the upsets of the world. I even got sad every day. Like reading the news every day because we got copy from like the bigger news stations was so upsetting. Yeah, but there's something in it about trying to tweak, right? They're trying to tweak. They're trying to fix. Yeah, like bear in yard

mauled a two-year-old. How fun is that? Oh my god. But you point it out so that it doesn't happen again and so that people are aware of it. Just don't, yeah. So NBC was so tough that you were like,

I'm gonna go work for the district attorney. And no, I worked for the district attorney before that. Oh. And then I worked at NBC and it was so intense

that I quit and I went to Peru and then I went to Martha's Vineyard and worked as a bartender and then I moved here. You went to Peru real quick? For a month. Oh, wow. And you just escaped. I needed to find myself. Me and my best friend.

I found out that I was like really sad and needed to leave. And I found out that I wanted to finally pursue acting, which I've wanted to do since I was a little girl. Oh, holy shit. So you went through all that. You did. And then you came out to LA and worked at a little girl. Oh, holy shit. So you went through all that. You did. Yeah.

And then you came out to LA and worked at a restaurant again. No, I came out, yes. With Kimmy. I moved to Martha's Vineyard and then when I, like my second week in LA, I walked into this restaurant, knew someone,

and then I worked with Kimmy at Mohawk Bend. For like ever. 75 beers on tap for eight years. Oh my God. 75 beers on tap for eight years. Oh my God. 75 beers on tap? Yeah.

Why have I never gone? I don't know. That sounds incredible. For eight years while I was acting and stuff. You worked with Kimmy, that's so funny that you worked with Kimmy

longer at Mohawk Bend than you still have here. I know. By a lot. It's by a lot. By a lot. It was insane. Like double the amount of time.

That's so funny that in total though you've worked with Kimmy, you've worked with Kimmy, you've worked with Kimmy more years in total than I've worked with anyone here at Smosh. I probably worked with Kimmy

for like 10 years. That's insane. That's insane. I've been in LA 11. Wow. Wow. So then you got it, so you're working there

and acting. And then acting. I was acting, doing commercials and had like an agent and then performing at Groundlings. Right. Which was $0.

Yeah. Made it to Sunday Company. Which is insane. While I was still bartending. They don't pay you? No. That blows my mind. We are past the point of not paying our performers.

Agreed. What? For anyone listening who doesn't know know there's a couple comedy theaters physical theaters places in LA where they're the only places you can go if you want to be established as a comedic actor

or comedian and frankly they're known as the only places you go to get on SNL someday if you don't do that you might win the lottery and end get on SNL someday. If you don't do that, you might win the lottery and end up on SNL if you get seen. But going to Groundlings is one.

But it's so hard. It takes so long. It was presented as being so difficult that I did a couple levels there and was like, I'm done. And it costs you money. Oh, it's so expensive. It's like $500 per thing

and it's like six things that you have to go through that could take three years. I worked extra shifts to pay. Yep. I worked so much. And then when I was in Sunday Company, I worked a ton and wrote a ton. I don't think I slept for like two years. That's what it always sounds like. I don't think I slept for like eight years.

Because I've had multiple friends who were in Sunday Company, and it just sounds awful. Well, you can't be in Sunday company and not work unless you have like a bunch of money, but like all of us were working. It's crazy. All of us. And then if you booked a commercial, it was great, but then it was like,

then you have to take away time from Sunday and they did not accept that. Like you can't miss shit. Yeah. It just doesn't make sense. Then you started working at Smosh. And then COVID hit and I got out of the restaurant business completely.

Same. I've been out of the restaurant business for three years or four years. And that's the first time in my literal life that I haven't worked at a restaurant. And so Chance, you... Chance. I did babysit before I... Okay. So you were babysitting was number one.

My younger children. Yep. And then it was... Restaurant with mom. Okay. My favorite children. Yep. And then it was... Restaurant with mom. Okay. Then Chili's. Then nice restaurant. Then I worked at Second City teaching kids improv in Chicago.

So cool. And then I came to LA and I was like, when I started working at Second City, I was like, I'm done. I worked there for like a year. And comedy sports. Wow. But comedy sports in Chicago was very fun because they like tour different places. Yeah, yeah.

And they had a residency at this huge theater and it would be packed with all these kids. And they'd be like, yeah, comedy sports. You felt so like, there's like a thousand kids when you're doing it. And you're like, fuck yeah. And they're so lit for it. But I thought I was going to be out of the restaurant business but then I came to LA and I was back in the restaurant.

Of course. Of course. You have to. Yeah. But it was, I feel like it was easier here because everyone was like nicer. They weren't like,

for some reason, the Midwest people and the South people were so mean when they went to restaurants. They just don't know how to treat people. That goes so counter to

what you think. I think that East Coast people are nicer than LA people, personally. I think that's true as well. Like at restaurants. In LA, the service is just kind of like. They're floating. They're floating and you just kind of don't really,

like most servers are just like, hey what's up, what do you want? Yeah. Cool, great, I'll get it for you. Yes. And you're gone. And you're gone. That's so true. It takes nothing out of you.

But in the Midwest, a lot of times people are like, hey, how are you guys? Oh, my God. It is so good to see you. And it's exhausting to do that all night. Yes. Every table. How's your family? Lots of regulars.

Right. Oh. But in LA, it's kind of like, I don't know. It's kind of like, bye. See you never, I guess. Yeah. I don't of like, bye, see you never, I guess. Yeah. I don't feel like, I feel like in L.A., you're never really a regular at a restaurant. Mm-mm.

There's, I had to. Sometimes. East side. Okay. I feel like the east side, you're pretty regular. Okay. But also, yeah, we had a ton of regulars at Mohawk Bend. A ton.

What was, for both of you, what out of all those jobs was, like you're like, that's the worst job? That one was the hardest. Oh my god, I worked at Google for four months, I forgot. You worked at, you just left that out. Yeah, because it was awful, and I was not equipped. What did you do at Google? Is that the worst one?

I was working, that was the worst one, that's why I triggered it. For four months I was an engineer at Google. Kind of, so I was in charge, Google the worst one. That's why I triggered it. For four months, I was an engineer at Google. No, kind of. So I was in charge of Google Maps. How did this happen? Yes. It was a Northwestern Connect.

It was a Northwestern Connect, and he had started working. He was like four years above me, and he knew me from a friend that referred me, and then we met. And he was like, I have a position for Google Maps team. The main goal of what they were doing was doing altitude to Google Maps. So you know how now you can go like. Right, you can zoom out. And you can look at a mall and see what floor. So you were a coder?

Yes. Really? Yeah, oh bitch, no I was really bad, which is why I only worked there for four months. You're, like, coding Google Maps. Had you been coding before? No, and so I had to have so many training sessions, and he tried to even help me, and he was like,

so how much do you know about coding? And I was like, Suite Life of Zack and Coding? And he was like, and look, look, look, look at his face, look at his face. You are not a coder. There's probably no comedy in Google. No, oh, my God, and even, like, so I had a team Look at his face. You are not a co-owner. There's probably no comedy. No. Oh, my God.

And even like, so I had a team. I had a team, you guys. You ran a team? I had a team. And so their team, the people, I would have to organize. Heidi was just like, don't do that. Don't do that. When I have to get logistical, I can be logistical. But if I don't have to be, then I'm not going to be.

If someone's going to do it for me, then I'm going to let someone do it for me. What the fuck? I had a team, and I had to organize flights. I had to organize places they would go. So we started with malls, and I would have to get like six people on a flight to a place, to a mall. And they would each have a different type of phone, and they would go into a store. And I'd be like, okay, we're doing a Hollister first. So it'd be like, Hollister's on the second floor, blah, blah, blah,

217 is the grid where we would grid it. They would have to go in for 30 minutes. Just the GPS would have to track where their altitude is and where their latitude and longitude is. Go in 30 minutes, come out. Go in for 30 minutes, come out. Go in for 30 minutes, come out. Then they would have to bring the physical phone to me,

and I would have to plug each one in and download the data from the phone and put it into this huge system. Whoa! Crazy. What the f- Crazy. Where did you work there?

Where were you? So I worked in Chicago, and then they flew me out to Mountain View for like a month. Whoa! Yeah. With one of those phones, what kind of wine pairing would you recommend? Well, with a soft piece.

Probably a petite Syrah. A Garnier. This is why I think I am really, I am envious and insecure about not working any other kind of jobs from acting, because there's just so much knowledge that I feel like you garner. Yeah, you get a lot of tools in your tool belt.

You do. You get street smart. You get a lot of tools. You meet a lot of different people. Oh, my God. None of them could talk to people, which is why I was in the position that I was in. Because I could organize and talk to people and be like, you need to be here at this time. Give me these things, and I will do it for you.

I've heard that. And it's unfair for a lot of people. But I have heard that if you have good interpersonal skills, you are going to probably do well in almost any field. Like you had no coding experience, but you had a team of coders. Well, Shane, if you want to take a break from acting and go work in a restaurant. Go work at Krispy Kreme. Honestly, work there for a month and you'll be like, all right, I've gotten all the knowledge I needed.

I'm out. A month is all you need. A month is all you need to go. I'd have to go in disguise and lay low because I don't want to go and be like, I don't want to, I'd feel, all the other workers would hate me if I was like, I'm just here as an experiment. I'm actually an actor and I work on a YouTube channel. They would.

They'd be like, I'm going to punch you in the mouth. Holy shit. Okay. All right, so you worked at Google, and that was the worst one. That was by far the worst one. I was working like 13-hour days because I was so behind on my – I was so behind. It was nice because they had like a gym there.

Yeah, the Google place. The cafeteria was phenomenal. Right. The food was so behind. It was nice because they had a gym there. The cafeteria was phenomenal. The food was so good. And they had Crafty there always. But you basically lived there. Basically lived there. Wow. And they would even win it. So I was also still doing,

because I was in Chicago when I had started at Second City and I had enough time that I could do it when they were off classes. Classes were mostly in the summer and in the spring. In the fall, there was a lot of time, which is when I worked at Google. I was doing comedy sports, and even backstage at night, I would be trying to do a show, and they would be texting me. I'd be getting emails, still responding backstage, trying to do shit.

What? Awful. That is insane. Terrible. Holy crap. That sounds like a terrible do shit. What? Awful. That is insane. Terrible. Holy crap. That sounds like a terrible job. But the day was nice. I bet.

Well, now we're all actors. And now we're all actors. Now we're all in your position. And I've been, yeah, I just started acting. That's all I've done. But in order to be an actor, there's a lot of stuff that you have to do. There is a lot of stuff. Yeah. You have to get head shots. to be an actor, there's a lot of stuff that you have to do. There is a lot of stuff. Yeah.

You have to get head shots. Head shots. Oh, that's good. So something we wanted to do today, I asked you guys for a bunch of your old head shots, and we're gonna go through them. We're gonna kinda just. It was challenging. We're gonna kinda. Should I put it here?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, I, first up we have some of mine. I had to find these on the internet. So some of them are pretty small in quality because I could not find the printed out versions. You look like Evan Sawyer. Let's go with that one. Let's go with that one first.

So this one's early on. I'm a teenager here. I have to be at least, I have to be like 15 or 16. You look like Devin Sawyer. You look like the guy from Cinderella Story. Oh, oh, he was in One Tree Hill. What's his name? What's his name?

Matthew, James. Absolutely not. Zach. That is not his name. Ethan. No. The guy from One Tree Hill. What's his name?

I was going to say the Greek guy from the ice cream parlor. Pontilis. I will never be able to memorize that name. I'm going to have to ask you to repeat it to me. Pontilis. James John. Pontil Lisa. I will never be able to memorize that name. I'm going to have to ask you to repeat it to me. Ponta Lisa. James John. Ponta Lisa. Chad Michael Murray.

Chad Michael Murray. I was close with Ethan's accent. Ponta Lisa. It's two whiteboard names combined together. So anyways, yeah, this just had very serious. That is hot. And then this one's a little bit later. Your eyes look so green.

Yeah, I don't know. With every single one, they would do a lot of work on them. Like, you'd get the headshots done, and they'd be like, all right, now we're going to touch them up. Yeah, this doesn't really look like you. Also, your hair is too dark. I dyed it. I started dyeing my hair when I was 17 or 18.

How old is this one? I had to have been probably around 20. This is what I'd cast you in. Mitchell Musso. Like a boy. That was the style at that time, man. A bad teen, like in a thriller, like a detective thing in Seattle,

like a teen who's there and the cops go up to you and ask for questions. Like questions about someone who's missing. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, I don't know. It's my dad's pool. Yeah, exactly. Look, I don't do that many drugs.

Yeah. Exactly. So I did that. I think I was always trying to be, I wanted to go for serious. I came out here really with the determination to be a dramatic actor and I just kept booking comedy shit. We're killing it.

This is not a headshot. Okay, here's your comedy headshot.. This is not a headshot. This isn't even a headshot. This is a photo a friend of mine took of me back in Arizona, but I threw it in there because this is a little bit more of what I actually looked like. That does not even look like you. That's what I looked like back then.

No, that looks like him. You look like a dweeb and I love it. I was? Wow. And then there's a headshot. That's crazy. That's insane. That's Chad Michael Murray. That's Chad Michael Murray. He's Devin Sawyer. And I want to point out, I guess just for the headshot for this,

but also in the previous photo, I was a long-sleeve shirt under short-sleeve shirt guy. Yep. Pretty hardcore. Yes, you were. That's coming back a little bit. It is coming back. Damien was wearing a long-sleeved shirt

under a short-sleeved shirt the other day. It's coming back. It's coming back. I don't know. I'm just saying it's coming back. If Damien's do it, then it's coming back. Oh, you look gay. That's the gayest headshot I've ever seen.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Queer folks. I'm coming to... Can't wait to start at NYU. Here's my 16 bar cut. Oh my god.

Truth be told. Queer as folks. Truth be told. 2012, when was this taken? This was taken before that. This was taken probably 2006. 1998. No, this was taken maybe 2007 or 8.

You're so cute though. So the person who took the photo styled my hair. Yeah, they did. And my hair never looked like that. Where are you? I don't know. It's in some studio. I took one of these glamour shots.

Yeah, it really gets... I need to get new headshots done, and I'm going to make them look like I'm in a real place. Are you still using that headshot? No. Can you imagine? Oh, that one's nice. This is even older.

I probably am like 14. You're like in She's the Man. You're one of the best friends in She's the Man, right? That's good. Like a soccer movie, or you're the love interest on an island. Enough about the island. Guys, stop. That was just for fun. We're done with the island. Yeah, stop. That was just for fun.

We're done with the island. Yeah, soccer movie. Definitely looking back, though, I'm like, these are so insane. And they just feel. But I guess headshots don't ever look. This isn't bad, though. That's a very normal one. I had others that I could have.

So this is a screenshot from. What's happening? This is a photo from the worst job I have ever worked on. What is it? This was on a PSA that I worked on when I was 18. And I found it online recently, and you can go watch it. We should have an episode where we watch those things. Yeah, we can...

I'm figuring out the copyright stuff with watching it, because it is a government-funded PSA. What is it about? It's called The Power of No. Say no to drugs? Say no to things, yes, say no. To sex? It was a ridiculous job.

And I knew as I was working on it, I'm like, this is the dumbest thing I've ever worked on. This guy who is like, you'd swear he's like a Simpsons character. You know immediately, this guy, I don't trust him. He's the one running and directing it. The first day of filming.

So basically the premise, the whole idea of it is I'm at a round table with a bunch of these 12-year-olds and I'm like a 16-year-old. So it's not an adult telling these kids what to do. You're like, come on, guys.

I'm there. And it was really amped up. Like, just be a cool kid. You're cool. And I'm like, I'm not cool. I'll try to. Luckily, I think what worked in my favor, it's cringy as hell. And my acting is cringy as hell.

Because there's no way to deliver it good. Of course. But you're cool. But first day, I show up. And I'm like, OK, it's a PSA. This will be fine, whatever. But the first day is when I knew that this was going to be a nightmare. Because the director, the producer director comes up to me.

And he's like, this older guy. Like I said, best word I can use is you just get the sleazy vibe off of him. Like, oh, he's trying to find ways to make money. And he doesn't care what avenue he's going to do it. And he's like, all right, so you're playing Corey. And yeah, so. Corey. So Corey.

And he's like, I think that's his name. It's got to be Corey. And he's like, and here's the thing. So I want you, just something for you to think about. You get laid off. He's like, Corey has a secret. Ew. Whatever, whatever., Corey has a secret. Ew. Whatever, but Corey has a secret.

And I remember looking at him and being like, you got it, man. And in my head I was like, no, he doesn't. Corey has a secret. No, there's no secret. Corey is just a guy. Corey's just a guy. Oh, God. So I did not think about that.

But he did at one point tell me, guy he's like man when this comes out the girls are going to be all over you and I remember luckily at the time I knew I was like I don't believe a single word in fact this will hurt my chances

I am never getting laid again like yeah it's my boyfriend and you're just like hey guys I've got a little secret. My name is Corey. And everyone's like, ugh, you. Oh, he's got a secret. Yeah. No.

At that time, I was like, I'm going to be a virgin forever. Oh, no. It was pretty rough. On the last day of filming, he was, this was a PSA about, you know, saying no to drugs and stuff. On the last day of set, he was drinking a beer on set. Hell yeah. In front of these kids and shit.

I was like, this is fucking nuts. There is a scene, however, and I've talked about this before. So this guy was always talking about all the celebrities he was going to get in this PSA. Sure. He's like, we're in talks with Robert Downey Jr. Okay. Sean Penn. Oh, what? All these Oscar winning actors. He was like, we're going to get Robert Downey Jr., Sean Penn, all these Oscar-winning actors.

He was like, we're going to get them. We're going to get them. Sean Penn did I Am Sam, and then he came over to the theater. Yeah, he's going to go do Power of No. But there is a scene with Larry King in this where a kid is out front of his house. We'll show the clip at some point. He's out front of his house. We'll show the clip at some point. He's out front of his house, and then Larry King is in a van

with the door open. He's like, hey, kid, I got some stuff in my car I need help with. He says something like, I got puppies or candy. It's like the most stereotypical scene. And this kid's like, awesome,

and he gets in, and he starts opening up this box, and then the door shuts behind him. And the kid's like, what's going on? Like, hey, can you open up? And Larry King is just, there's just a shot of Larry King's, the back of his head looking at the front windshield. And he's just not responding.

Just Larry King looking menacing. Why would Larry? And it's like, what the fuck? And the kid's like, hey, let me out. And Larry King's just not responding. Suddenly the doors open. There's a news reporter and tons of people and all this stuff

and they're reporting on how dangerous it is to get into people's cars and how this kid messed up. Why didn't I get that news report? And the kid's freaking out. The kid's reaction is awesome. The kid's there just like,

what? The kid's acting is the best acting in the scene. Why would Larry King agree to that role? I don't know how they got Larry King agree to that role? I don't know how they got Larry King. Maybe he needed a paycheck. Definitely needed a paycheck.

Wow, that is... It's unbelievable that it's real. And it was the worst job I ever worked on. It was agonizing. Because I recognized that it was all bull crap. And the guy, the director was like, yeah, next I'm thinking about getting into politics. And I'm like, that makes so much sense.

That makes so much sense. It's like Sean Penn is backing me. I don't remember the guy's name. I don't remember much about him other than just I was trying to block him out of my memory. But anyways, that's that photo. Holy God, Shane. It was the most ridiculous job.

And then a year later, I worked on. A year later, I booked So Random. But that was a low. Because I came out to LA. That is a low. How old were you? I was like freshly 18. So I had booked iCarly.

And I think that was like maybe some commercials. And otherwise, I was like, shoot. As a child actor, the most toxic thing is thinking like, and this is what all child actors are saying when you're under 18. It's like, yeah, our goal is to make it before we're 18. And so it makes this devastating mindset of once you turn 18 and you're like starting your life, you already have this idea that you failed. Jesus.

It's so intense. It's why child actors are messed up. I'll take the restaurant time anytime. Yeah. I mean, that was also what I was doing to myself. No, but that's a real thing. But it's what child actors are doing to each other. That's so stressful.

Yes. That takes away so much fun and growth and uncertainty. You're already insecure at that age. Oh, dude, I was so insecure. Your life has not even started yet, girly. Oh, I'm so stupid. I had booked and I had worked on Dear Lemon Lima, that movie. And that was like one of my favorite jobs I'd ever worked on.

We should watch that. It was an indie film. It's a great movie. It's actually a really good movie. Is it a comedy? It's a comedy. It's around the Juno... It's kind of the Juno era of movies.

So it has that indie kind of cutesy feeling to it. And I play essentially the villain of the movie. Okay, fun. I play like a super douchey, arrogant prep school kid. Okay, I love that. And like the love interest, but the love interest is really shitty to the main character. Oh, wow. Yeah, no.

iCarly, I got typecast so quickly and so intensely. I was on iCarly as Philip Brownlee, and then I booked Dear Lemon Lima, where I played a character named Philip Georgie. And I was like, well. Philip's like a shit name? Yeah, oh, Philip is always douchey. Corey's the sweet guy.

Corey's sweet. Corey's sweet. I thought Drew, like Drew and like Devin were kind of shitty. Oh, no, Devin, they're like cool shitty, though. All right, let's move on to Chance. That's a recent one. So this is recent.

This is great. This is commercials. Look at you. I can recognize immediately someone's commercial headshot versus theatrical. You're a smiley boy. That's a great one. Dude, T-Mobile. Right there.

Right there. Boom. Buy this phone, bitch. Yeah, or Verizon. The earrings are fun too Yeah the earrings are really fun And the shirt's really great The shirt's textured

So it's fun I cut the sleeves off that shirt now Oh Okay So you're never gonna be able To wear it to an audition Do you guys remember thinking That your headshot

You had to wear the same shirt In your headshot No I actively don't wear the same shirt Because I'm like You already saw that look Now let me show you What else I can do

Who told you that I think a workshop told me. I think so. So for five years I had my headshot shirt on a hanger in the backseat of my car. And it was just destroyed. Smelly. Disgusting. Why am I not booking anything? It's like, you smell like shit.

Oh, it's really good. It's in his parking garage. It's a really good headshot. Let's talk about the hair. The hair is high. I think the issue is I've never seen you wear your hair like that. And I hope no one ever sees me. It's Elvis after getting electrocuted.

You do look step-uppy. Also, you look kind of light in this. I do look light. I do think he lightened me a little bit. It's vampire change. It is something that I did talk about him with because my friend Nabil also got his head shots from him.

This is. This is when you worked at your mom's bar. Yeah. What? I would say, no, I would say this is Chance if you didn't become an actor and you said went and worked in insurance. That, it feels very insurance. It's very insurance.

It feels very corporate. It feels like smiling, like there should be a salad right in front of me. Also church, like very church. Oh, conservative chants. Come in the church. You just pay thousands of dollars a month and get closer to God. Yeah, you're right. And then also, you sent a bunch of just regular photos of you as a kid, and that shocked me.

Why? Oh, you included them. Oh, shoot. Oh, this is the same guy three years before. This is great. Yeah, I like what my hair's doing, honestly. Yeah. It's high, but it's like, ooh.

You look really handsome. It's like, ooh. You look very straight, though, in this picture. I had just come out of the closet, like, maybe a couple months before. Yeah, you look like you're in, like, you're one of the baseball friends, friend. Guys, I don't know. I just came from the East Coast. But you know what I mean?

You look like a Freddie Prinze Jr. baseball movie or something. Summer catch. It's not bad. I think these are good headshots. It's not bad. You're outside of a school. Pretty cool.

Yeah, I'm ready. I'm ready to win. But now we have childhood photos. Oh, no. And dude. Oh, honey. This is high school. This is high school?

This is high school. How old are you here? I thought you were 10. I'm 14. That's why I'm looking at your photos, and you're like, yeah, I'm 15. I thought you were 8. No, I am fully 14 years old. Oh, boy.

Oh, boy. Oh, boy. What were you like when you were 14? I was so loud. I was going to say, when you sent these photos, I was like, you were a psycho. Psycho, but very funny. Oh, God. I get that sense.

I used to be way funnier than I am now, and I'm wearing an Iron Man shirt. Hell yeah. Is this when you played Brass Monkey in the back of the bus? No, this is like three years after. Now he was playing. You look very funny. I was being funny. Oh, yeah. All these photos, you're being funny.

Are you in theater? Is this person with the arm behind you? We're doing the haunted hayride, bitch. I was gonna say, I was like, this feels like you're sitting down on the ground waiting for the show to start. Yeah, I'm being very funny. We were the, so we did clowns most years,

and then the last year, me and my friend Chris Deaton, who plays, he's a drummer, we did raptors. We were the, so we did clowns most years, and then the last year, me and my friend Chris Deaton, who plays, he's a drummer, we did raptors. We were just raptors, and we just ran around. That's why you're so good at doing a raptor. Or a vulture. You're right. A vulture. It just occurred to me that people listening to this

are like, what the hell are they looking at? They don't get to see it? Well, if they're watching it on YouTube, but if they're just listening to it on Spotify, they're like, what is going on? We'll go to our YouTube and watch it. Oh my god. This photo we died at. I'm being funny here too.

To describe this, it's a photo of Chance looking down at the camera making the strangest face I've ever seen. Butthole mouth. And we call him Fatboy. P-H-A-T, Fatboy. And I have a fro. Don't forget the fro.

Yeah. I think your hair is what also surprised me. And you're going like this. Yeah, that's butthole mouth. To see your hair like this is so fun. And the chin, that fold is incredible. Yeah. And that little dimple.

It's an impeccable, impeccable chin. And it's also very foggy and bizarre Like it's a very foggy dark photo This is the type of photo You can only get when you're 14 You cannot take photos like that Ever again Not even if you try

That is so good And this is Chance Leaning on a pole Sexy time Wearing a polo shirt. 16. 14. Wow.

I I prefer Corbin Bleu. I do actually think I see... That's actually not my sister. That's my friend's sister.

I was going to say... We took a picture together. She doesn't look like you. I think you do look more like Corbin Bleu. But the reason this picture was taken, American Eagle, the reason this picture was taken because all the white people at the party were like, you guys look just alike.

You guys look just alike. Take a picture with Ileana. You look nothing alike. I was like, no, we don't. You have such lighter hair, suchleana. You look nothing alike. I was like, no, we don't. You have such lighter hair, such lighter eyes. You look nothing alike. Yeah, no. It was just because everyone else looked whatever.

Wow. The necklace. Now we have Amanda. Oh, God. Amanda, these photos blew my mind. Mine were from all different. Okay. Dude, what year is this?

Okay, this is when I was working at Channel 7. 2009? So this is before I moved to LA. This is when I was 23? Oh my God. You look, I thought you were 16. I thought you were 16 too.

Okay, so there's a photo. What's happening? There's a photo. It's, Amanda, you are against a, like, door, but only your hand is in focus. Why is that? And I don't know what is the purpose of this. I don't know what I'm doing. It's not a ring finger. It's not a, like, ring.

No. Were you trying to be a hand model? I don't know what I'm doing. It's not a ring finger. It's not a ring. Were you trying to be a hand model? I don't know. My first finger and my thumb is touching. She told me to do this. I don't know why I needed a close-up of my hands. This is the most insane photo I've ever seen in my life. It's insane.

And why are my hands doing this? And why is it the wedge that we're focused on? This is the center point. Is it like you lost the game kind of thing? Guys, I don't know. Like, I look back at these. And by the way, these photos are printed. I still have them.

Yes, I do. Here's another one. Another super. I can't believe you're like 23, 24. You look like a teenager. I know. In my 20s, I looked like a teenager forever. And now I look like a 60-year-old woman, don't I?

No, you don't. 50. Hey! So this one, I remember, my sister lived in Africa. My little sister lived in Kenya for like a year and I never took this bracelet off. And it was like tied by a thing.

And I look at these headshots and I'm like, why? What is going on? It's like falling apart. You showered with it? I showered with it, of course. You had sex with it? Stop it. Oh. Yes, I did.

So this picture. Stop it. Yes. What is great with this picture is my hand isn't holding up my head. It's just resting in the air. It's just there. You're kind of saluting. I like it.

Yeah, this is Channel 7 time. I will say Channel 7 was probably my worst job ever. Yeah, this is channel seven time. I will say channel seven was probably my worst job ever. Okay. Because I was so stressed. So the news, Google, and PSAs. So this was my stressful time. Okay. And then modeling. So wait, you have a modeling like card.

When did you model? It's called a Zed card. So when I was working at Mohawk Your waist was 27? Yeah, I was really tiny. Oh my god. I was like 120 when I was working at Mohawk Bend. Your waist was 27? Yeah, I was really tiny. Oh my God. I was like 120 when I moved here. Oh. Yeah, I was too thin. I was too thin.

This was here? This is LA. This is Santa Monica. Yeah, look, this is definitely LA. Look at that. So. Dude, in this photo, Amanda looks, Amanda has a facial expression

that I don't think I've ever seen from Amanda. You. A Brazilian vampire. You. A Brazilian vampire. You look like someone who I would immediately be like, oh, she hates me. Yeah. I haven't even talked to her. People thought, really, truly people forever when I worked at Mohawk Bend thought that I hated them. That's so funny.

That was my look. So, like, I worked at Mohawk Bend and I got scouted there. Like, my first year working there for Blaze Models. Blaze. And it was, I should have never done, look at these booties. Did Blaze Models put you,

Blaze Media, whatever, put you in that outfit? Yes. They put me in this outfit, which is horrific. She's wearing high-waisted like shorts.

Horrific. With a salmon button down and a black blazer. She's got tan wedges. No, they're camel colored. They're awful. It's an outfit you'd never see anyone wear on a normal day. And you know where I am? I'm outside of their offices, obviously.

Oh my God. Taking these photos. And I remember this picture. This picture where, why is my part starting back here? You know, weirdly, I like the hair. Okay, well, that's good. And I was on the side of the road in Santa Monica and people were walking by and they were like, you have a bruise on your leg. I'm like, okay, thank you.

It's kind of giving Kristen Stewart with the shade. I think it was like shaved right there. Yeah. No, I was, I modeled for a while. But mainly my modeling career was was I did ads for Uber. Okay. I did photo ads for Uber. That's not on here.

And then I went and tried on. I basically went to places and tried on jeans. And people were like, yeah, you need to be a little bit thinner. And I was at my thinnest. I was actually at a place where I was too thin. Oh, dude, it's so toxic. And they're like, you need to be thinner. And I was like, okay.

That's so insane. And then now we have more modern day headshots. Yeah, model talent agency. We have Dr. Amanda. That is Dr. Amanda. This is your Grey's Anatomy headshot. Why was I put in a doctor outfit? I have no idea.

Is that literally a doctor's outfit? It's like, no, it's a pink blazer, but in the picture. This is recent. No, this is like five years ago. Oh, okay. I just saw the hair. Oh, so my hair grew all the way down to here, and then I cut it again. This is not my hair.

This is when I cut it really short the last time. Yeah, I really cut my hair off. And then we have Sarah Christ. Oh, my God. That is Sarah Christ. It literally is a photo of Sarah Christ. It's you in a leather jacket. This is what you would probably send for CSI.

Sure, yeah, I would, except I definitely sent this. My manager sent this for Smosh. That's so funny. That's hilarious. This is the headshot that was sent for Smosh. I'm pretty positive. That is so funny. I think Ian was like, yeah, your headshot was really intense.

Yeah. But it got you in the door. It got me in the door. And now you're playing Sarah Christ. And now I'm playing Sarah Christ. And the red background really works well with the movie. The red really makes it intense. Wow.

We all have good headshots. We all have good headshots. And we've all been through different phases of our life. So I think the ultimate lesson we learned today is don't work at NBC News. OK. Don't work at Google. And don't do a very specific type of PSA that I did over 10 years ago. But remember that all of those led us to a place where now we work at Smosh,

and I feel like I'm working in heaven. The tools in our tool belt are. The tools in our tool belt. Our tooling. Our tooling. My tools, Nickelodeon, Disney, PSA. Ooh. My tooling. Our tooling. My tools. Nickelodeon. Disney. Yes. PSA.

Oh, my tools. The news. And Dunkin Donuts. My tools. Honey Chipotle. Chicken Crispers. And Sweet Life of Zack and Coding. And yeah, Coding.
