Well, God, I have not really talked to people yet today, and we're about to film this shit. It's going to be great. Yeah. I've got this on airplane mode. I just have it for my, for my iceberg lettuce.

Good. You just got to hit your Ginch and Impact Gatchez of the day? It's Uma Musame. It's a sports game and I would thank you. It's Uma Musame, dude. What kind of sport? A horse racing.

Is it like the horses? You know what it is. Yeah. You know what it is. Absolutely. You're right. I know exactly what that is. Umamuzae?

Yeah. Okay. That's on the app store? Yeah. No, you got to fucking download a special package for the iPhone. They don't want you to have this shit on there. They don't want you to have this. Doctors hate when you have this.

Hi, welcome to Smoshmouth Upshade. And I'm Damien Haas. And joining us today is Ian Hickox. Hello, I'm Ian Hickox. I don't know if we kept it in or not, but we just talked about many things in the span of two minutes. Yeah, we talked about bee. You found out what beeswax is. Dude, well, so, no, sorry, I found out how beeswax is made. You found out what beeswax is.

I thought by finding out how it's made, you also find out what it is. So for those at home who aren't up to date on bees, you know, new update just dropped, I thought beeswax was fired out of the honey hole or whatever. Like, I thought bees just sort of pooped it out like they did with honey. Yeah. Turns out they flake it off in scales. Interesting. It comes out of their ears.

So it's like bee dandruff. That's worse. I think to say. That's what it kind of is. That kind of sucks. Yeah, but it's like it's flaking off of them. Or dragon scales. But it's not like they're like, they're not like molding and then it like becomes.

No, they're like fire off specific scales. There's like six or seven on their body at a time and then it plops off and then turn it into their house. I don't know. We need to ask a B. All right. The one in apartment 23. Oh, no. But how can you trust her?

Okay, that's a joke only Millennials. I think like a couple people will get it. I feel like nobody actually watched that show, but everyone talked about it because they're like, don't trust the B and Apartment 23 is the name of your show. I think it lasted for like half a season. But there were, in L.A.,

there was billboards everywhere for it, and it made me laugh every time because I'm like, that's a really bad name for a show. It's terrible. Yeah. It was TV trying to be like, we're not going to say bitch in the title,

but you know what we're saying. But you know it is. Before we go any further, I want to stop us for people watching this. We were doing a sketch yesterday. I had eye makeup on. I'm really bad at getting eye makeup out of my eyes. So that's why I look like J.D. Vance. Whoa.

Got him. No. Yeah, no, I look a little emo. Yeah. Because I saw a tiny bit. Kind of like in one eye. Kind of one eye here. Yeah.

Yeah. You definitely just missed the one eye. And I can relate. I have some difficulty getting off makeup in that position, too. Yeah. Anyways, back to all that stuff we were talking about. I mean, we were talking about your horse game.

No, we were talking about bees, I thought. Okay. I didn't know that, I didn't know that wasn't public knowledge. I've already just brought it up in, like, the past two podcasts. Oh, did you? No, Ian, I think we were talking about bees. I think it was like, it's been alluded to in the past, like, couple podcasts I've done. So I'm just like, nah, you can't beat a dead.

Umamamuza. Of course, Chris. Ian, it's great to have you here. Thank you. How's it going? What's up? What's been, what's new? I feel like I always, I feel like we don't do this part of the podcast as often.

So I'm trying to bring it back. Oh, try to bring it back. Check in, like talk, you know? Like. Um. All right, moving on. So, uh, I think when people are like, I think when people are like, hey, how's it going? I try to give it like a measured response.

Of course. It's good. It's good. good. Right. Right. Yeah, but I think you know, it's good. It's good. Okay. I feel like these past this past week or so I'm fighting really hard

this year to not watch Love is Blind. But you and several others are watching. Oh, yeah. You guys are watching it. But the problem is every time you guys talk about it, you're like, oh, it's so great. This person who's awful said this awful thing. And I'm like, I don't know if I can do it right now. That show makes me so mad. I get hooked. If I start, I get hooked.

I actually stopped last season. Okay. I did start watching and I was like, I'm done. This sucks. I can't do reality shows in general anymore. I think it was like a luxury of when times were more chill and it'd be like, oh, we can dip into this drama and then go back to our real lives where everything is fine. And now it's kind of the reverse. And I'm like, I don't want to watch more horrible people do things.

I can't do it. That's fair. Well, this season is by far the worst casting ever, which makes. for some good entertainment, but there's some truly abysmal people in the show, and just like another reminder that like men got to figure out what feelings are. Totally. I think that's a big part of it. Like the women will be like, I mean, like, where are you in this? Like, what's, what's wrong? What's wrong? And they're like, I'm just like, I'm, like, I'm fine.

Yeah. And it's like, but then he's like running out of the building and like driving away. Totally. But he's like, I'm fine. I'm fine. I'm just like, I'm fine. And then like throwing the mic off and running down the street and getting his car and, you know, peeling off.

It's a good little snapshot of like where we are in, you know, society. Yeah. I think that's fair. With the worst people. I do think like at this stage season, whatever they're on, the only people who are, who are signing up for that show. A lot of people are lacking self-awareness. I think there's always a couple every season of like,

wow, you're really a put-together person who's gone to therapy. But I'm like, good luck. Hang in there. I think one of my favorite people on the show is this woman named Annie. She's a hair salon owner, and she has the worst hair of anyone on the show. Well, how can she do her own? She's got like hair extensions and two bumpets. Oh, she looks like

Gwen Chandlin Do you know Gwen Chandlin She was like You can't make up names right now Oh no she was like She was like Well anyway This is going

My girlfriend goes to different school What's your name? Gwen Shandlin Shamblin Shamblin I think Gwen Shamblin Yeah she was like a She was like a

Shambles out of the graveyard Nice She was like a church Mega Pastor Oh sorry Mega church pastor that, like, told people She was the mega pastor.

The mega pastor. But she was, like, making people get skinny in order to go to heaven or whatever. Hold up. Real talk. That was, that was like Ian. I could lose weight and go to heaven. Yeah, I didn't.

That's how you get raptured. That was one of those roller coasters that whips your head around. Like, just like, oh, like the ninja in Six Flags Over Georgia. Anyone who's Six Flags Over Georgia knows. You lose a couple IQ points Every time you ride that thing Six Flags Over Georgia

The Ninja The problem is not that it whips your head The ninja is a roller coaster No, it's just this guy that'll just Hit you He's like, let me pick you up I don't know what happens in Georgia I've never been

That's a lie Is it called the Six Flags Over Georgia? Six Flags over Georgia Yeah And it's six flags over California Don't ask what the six flags are One of them is the Confederate flag It's always that's a six flags thing

We've covered that this show. So the ninja has these like pads on either side because they know you're going to whip your head But by hitting one, it actually bounces you to the other Yeah, so by going through any loop your head actually goes like Bumba-bubo-d-d-d-da-d-d-d-d-and like by the time you get off like you're gonna throw up and it's not from the loops It's from the like blunt force trauma to your dome So I never went to six flags without coming out extremely fucked up yeah I got fucked up every time I went to six flags I thought you were just gonna never mind. Yeah in Arizona they I'm one called a samurai it's got a

I never went to uvoojabber. I also thought... No, you were saying... You said I got fucked up. He said, I never went to six flags without coming, and then you just ended up there. Yeah, the ninja just punches your prostate. Sorry.

Boom! You're like, whoa! You get to the top of Superman, and then... Gross. Extra value meals are back. That means 10, tender juicy. McNuggets and medium fries and a drink are just $8. Only at McDonald's.

Shane, I've been impulse shopping a lot. Have you noticed how good ads have gotten? They get me now. And then I see it and I'm like, I do need that. And then that's money spent.

I know. I understand the struggle. You need Rocket Money. Rocket Money is a personal finance app that helps find and cancel your unwanted subscriptions, monitors your spending, and helps lower your bill so you can grow your savings. You've brought up this app to me before, but I'm a rebel at heart. So why should I use Rocket Money and not some other, like, app or program or whatever? Good question. Rocket Money has saved users over $2.5 billion, including over $880 million in canceled subscriptions alone.

Their 10 million members save up to $740 a year when they use all of the app's premium features. Rocket Money will even try to negotiate lower bills for you. The app automatically scans your bills to find opportunities to save and then goes to work to get you better deals. They'll even talk to customer service so you don't have to. Rocket Money's doing a lot for you. That sounds great because I used to work in customer service and I know sometimes it's hard from the other end, so I don't want to call them.

It's a lot. That sounds helpful. And it'll have your budget and everything right there. So you can keep an eye on that so that when you get those ads, you go, no, I know what I'm working with here. You're not going to tempt me. Shane, my guy, consider me convinced.

Like a rocket. That's one real good for the few listeners left on this podcast. That's one of the ones. one roller coasters you don't want to be in the back of. Oh, God. I was on Superman when it broke once, and it went past the station, and we, like, almost got caught in the net thing.

Yeah, I just, you just see the station go past, you're like, I think we're supposed to stop there. Oh, no. Sir? I think we were, that was our stop. Sir! I got stuck on a roller coaster once at Universal. Oh, which one? It was the

mummy, and for those not familiar with it, It goes all the way to the end of this, like, cavern, and then something is supposed to happen, and then it, like, launches you backward. Yeah. But the launch backward didn't happen. I just was there for, like, four minutes. I'm like, damn, I forgot that they were, like, really, really? They build it up, huh?

Like, I also got stuck on haunted mansion once. Ooh, everybody gets stuck on haunted mansion. Really? That ride gets stuck a lot. I didn't know that. How long were you stuck on it? It was all the, it's because the ghost in the gears, the ghost of the machine. It was like 30 minutes, like 40 minutes.

A lot. And we were like right in the middle, too. So like they evacuate from the back and the front. And so we had to wait. Hell yeah, dude. Yeah, Smosh has the crying bathroom, the usual one, and then the Shane bathroom. The usable one. The usable one. I think I've talked about this, but the last time I, one of the last times I went to Disneyland, I got stuck on, uh, it's a small world for almost an hour. I'm so sorry. And people were like fighting. People were like, it was bad. You're like, this is making me racist now.

You're like, this is doing the opposite. I'm so mad. It's like whatever country you got stuck in, you became racist. Look, World War III happened in the, it's a small world place. All the countries were fighting. No, but all of the boats were like stacked up. So it was just fully packed. People are yelling.

People were like, I have to use the bathroom. That's what the rivers for. It's a moat. They started getting people off of the ride from like the sides into like strange. exits, so we got to go, and I got to see, like, all the behind the scenes of it. Don't people have sex in that ride? I think people... I think it's pirates that they do.

Oh. Yeah. Captain Jack Sparrow. It's very, very dark, very dark in that cannonball section. I don't think I can get turned on with the smell of the Pirates ride. Oh, how could you not? That, like, musty, like, chlorine smell. I just can't get on board.

They make it humid, so it feels like you're boating and Louisiana. Louisiana, a buddy. I love, one time I was on that ride, I've probably told this story on here before too, but someone in front of us was taking like a lot of photos, like flash photography on it. And the loud street comes out, it's like, yarr, no flash photography on the ride.

And they just kind of kept doing it. And so I get to hear this pirate voice slowly break down. You're like, please, no flash photography on the ride. And just like, all right, no flash photography. It's finally like, please stop taking photos. YAR! YAR! I get so unreasonably mad in moments like that, especially where, like, it's very rare.

I will ever splurge for anything like a fast pass or whatever. Like, it's already a luxury to go to a thing. So if I've waited for an hour to get on a ride and someone's just like, I'm going to scream the whole time really loud and do photos. Like I went to Universal recently and did the Halloween Horror Nights, and every single time directly in front of me, there would be like three or four people. having to record the whole, like, haunted house on their phone, which is, like, I get it, I've done it, but also, like, when are you going to watch that back? And now you're not

experiencing it, but there's a light in my face. Yeah, that stuff is all online. Like, you can find that recording. You're not in it. So it's not like this is different from the stuff you can find online. It is very funny to me. I think it's probably, like, a lot of, like, older people who don't realize that you can look that up online. They're like, I got it. a nobody's gonna believe nobody's gonna believe I was here were they doing selfie no it was like a family of four and there'd be like you know two kids

and then like the parents and like auntie or whatever but like it would literally just be everybody on their phone the whole time getting it and it happened multiple times it always makes me really sad like any venue now just everybody's recording like nobody's there they're recording it for later and that always makes me sad but like for what reason I know it is kind of like

well to post it to to yeah points online. It's like nobody's there to actually be there. They're there to tell other people they're there. I feel like we have successfully shamed people to not post fireworks videos anymore. I feel like we

as a society have like shamed people enough to be like you don't need to post that. When are you going to watch those fireworks again? You know what I mean? I don't know, man. You don't think so? I feel like everywhere I go people are just recording things. That's their instinct. You know what I've started doing? I, like,

Like, I went to a concert recently, and it was great, and I didn't see too many people on their phone recording, but I wanted to get a couple of shots of just like, oh, this song is really cool, and, like, this part is, you know, beautiful and the lighting is so cool. So, like, instead of just holding it in front of my face and watching it through that, I would, like, look down real quick, make sure the frame was okay, and just sort of hold it, like, down and out to my side, being like, okay, I'm capturing it from here just to even if it's framed terribly, like, I'm still watching it. I'm getting, like, 30 seconds of footage to be like, I want to remember this lighting. effect thing. And then that's it. I think that's fair. When I see people record like, oh, like I'm recording it for a little bit just to like post something. Yeah. It's people who are recording for like 10 plus

minutes. People at concerts are like that it's nutty. Yeah. Yeah. I don't get it. I will say the the biggest bonus of the society we live in is like you'll catch a video of like someone being an absolute asshole on a flight

or something. Yeah. And day by day, it's like, we've gotten a new angle. It's like 50 different angles. It's like, there's more shots of this than any movie you've ever seen. Sure. It's wild. I'm like, yeah, there's more footage is going to be revealed of this incident. Life hack for airports.

Stop caring about where you end up in 48 hours. Like, I've, there's been a lot of delays lately, and I keep seeing people come up to, like, people of the front desk, like, well, like, what's going? What are in you guys are doing that I'm like there's not a single thing that anyone in the world can do to help you if you're a huge asshole to the people at the terminals They're not they'll help they'll get a plane out. They'll do it for you Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, they'll change the entire dynamics of the entire country's flight patterns. Yeah, I've never I've truly never understood the people that are like mean to the gate agents like You're not going to get anything out of them by being a dick to them. You need someone to be mad at and and you might as well make it up.

Like, I had a situation recently where they were like, hey guys, like, sorry, we're delayed. It's only going to be an hour. I'm like, there's going to be four hours. And it was. But they kept saying, like, we don't have a flight crew yet. Like, we're calling people. We need to have them.

And so, like, the last person showed up finally, like, and answered the call. Thank goodness they did. But they had, like, Starbucks in hand. And my first thought is like, you bastard. I was like, you didn't need to do that. But you can also, like, reframe it and be like, Yes, whatever you need, Queen.

Thank you for being here. I'm going to make up someone else to be mad at, and I'm going to think of the person that overslept in there, and you are saving there, but, so you deserve your little treat, drink. Smart. Enjoy it. That's smart. Thanks.

Slept like a baby on that plane. Screaming. So today, today we're talking about icebergs. Internet icebergs. Hell yeah. Will there be a third Titanic? There's got to be a Titanic iceberg. which is like extra funny.

So, okay, an iceberg, an internet iceberg, I'm sure many of you know, it is essentially a map or a graph detailing all the lore of any given subject or niche or interest or show. And basically at the surface, the top of the iceberg is like all the kind of like well-known things about said subject, said thing. And then you keep getting lower and lower

until you get beneath the surface to things that most people, don't know about. And then you get down to the depth. And it's like, this is the lore of this thing that nobody knows, nobody talks about. And you're like, I didn't even know icebergs go that deep. And you're starting to see those little fangly fishes with lights built in. Yeah. Like, ooh. That messed up shit. Yeah. Every time I see footage or photos of like, this creature we found deep, deep in the ocean. I'm like, I hope it stays there. Yeah. Fuck that thing. We weren't supposed to make that. Like, we weren't supposed to do that. God doesn't know about that. Yeah. No. You seen a goblin shark? Lou. Yeah. Oh, yeah. With the

The extra set of teeth that fires out. This one's like, the Ridley Scott ass fish. Everything down there is so messed up. Yes. Yeah. Except. Dumbbo squid. Okay, I can get with that.

I can get with that. I've seen. I don't know if I've seen a dumbo squid. Okay, Shane, I'll show you. You just show me a photo of Dumbo. They're kind of cute little small beans. It's a Dumbo something because I think I know what you're talking about. Dumbo octopus.

I'm so sorry. Got these little, like, little beady eyes. And then like anglerfish, the males. literally attached to the females and become part of them. Yeah, they just are living, floating gonads. Literally. Think of the cutest, like,

small Disney animal voice where they're like, Dad, can we go to the thing? Oh, I have seen these little guys. It looks like something that'd be singing in Star Wars. That's really good. Thanks.

So, how familiar are you with icebergs? Ian, are there any that you've checked out? I know there's a lot of you. YouTubers who do big video essays on iceberg. I want to shout out Izzy's, one of my favorite comfort YouTubers. They have done, like, the creepy pasta iceberg video, the, like, specifically Pokemon, scary stuff, iceberg. Nice. That's how I found out about icebergs.

So shout out. I've just seen them through various internet things. I can't recall any specific ones off the top of my head. Sure. But, I mean, I'm sure somebody's made a Smosh iceberg. I was actually looking, and I did not see many, many, like, big, detailed ones. No. So, no, I've not seen one.

But there's got to be. There's got to be. Then I think we are the change we need to see in the world. Oh. Because we're going to, we're doing that, right? I think we'll start to make one a little later. Talk about some stuff. Okay.

Pitch things and see where we think on the iceberg it would go. Okay. But before we get there, I want to talk about, I found one that people say is like, they argue this is like the best iceberg. Oh, great. And it's the Mario 64 iceberg. Ooh.

I guess there's just a ton of lore about Mario 64 and you get really in the weeds with it. And it's like, whoa, this is crazy. Yeah. Like, for instance, above the surface, it's like backwards long jump, impossible coin, half a press. So like, impossible coin is that the impossible coin is the name given to an uncollectable coin. in Tiny Huge Island by Panancoic 2012 that someone discovered due to how group coin spawners work, one of the five coins that should be located on a slope in the large version of Tiny Huge Island

does not spawn since it would spawn underground. So it's like people just like saying, oh, like, oh, little niche things in the game. Sure. I'm aware of the, like, the backwards long jump, because if you, you know, do this long jump in just the right way, you can actually sort of like make it that Mario actually starts to move backwards and you do it again. and then he fires backwards really quickly. It's how speed runners do a lot of stuff

and sneak their way through doors they're not supposed to. Okay. Yeah, you get down to below the surface and you've got like, ghoul metal. In Big Boo's haunt, one of the signs outside of the large mansion

reads that if the player makes it out alive, they deserve a ghoul medal. A player on the term gold, a play on the term gold medal. A ghoul metal is never received in game, so it was likely that this was just a throwaway line to taunt the player. However, some have claimed seeing

in collecting this supposed ghoul metal. It could also be related to the unused key objects that were originally intended to be within this course. There's just like a lot of stuff. I love that stuff. I love the idea of that because it reminds me of like, I don't know if this is still a thing due to

the prevalence of the internet from a young age, but I remember being in elementary school, even middle school, playing any video game and if it was popular enough, like, there would be rumors about it. Like original Pokemon games, you know, we didn't have access to like things that were coming out in Japan. So what would be the second generation of Pokemon, gold and silver, we would hear about

in the States and be like, oh, apparently there's like secret Pokemon. Like there's missing no. Well, exactly. Like missing no is created because there's like a placeholder for like a hundred and one unused Pokemon slots in game because things are coded in 250. No, it's 256 I think, 256 like bit. So yeah, it's 105 unused slots. So missing no is just one of those slots. but the idea is like well there's got to be other ones here then so it'd be rumors of like oh if you sail in this area and use this item and fight this thing and catch this thing a secret Pokemon will pop up and like hearing things like that is like oh yeah there's my cousin got the ghoul metal like he actually made the ghoul metal star like really yeah i'll ask him how he did it like oh man dude on the playground as a kid like people were just making shit up all the freaking time or the uh in golden eye the first the first mission yeah there was that base that was across the the wall Yeah, sure. And it was like, oh, yeah, like, there's, like, a secret way to get there. With GameShark, you could get there.

Yeah. If you remember GameShark, the thing that allowed you to cheat. It allowed you to put in hex codes into Pokemon, things like that, or whatever, to change certain values. But that's why people thought there were so many extra things because people would discover, like, oh, there's 105 unused spaces for Pokemon. Or, like, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's, I feel like, it's pretty common in video games that there's, like, when they're making the game, like, just little tiny codes and stuff when they're putting.

and stuff when they're putting in, that doesn't make it to the surface, but it's still in there, right? Yeah, like, Doom, one of the original Dooms, there was a code you could put in so you could, like, go through walls and clip through walls, and if you fought, like, the last boss,

which was this giant, like, evil face on a wall with, like, one weak point, if you clipped into the weak point to look inside, there was a head floating there, and it was the head of the, like, creator of the game. Cool. Like, you put himself in there,

but you would never know if you, like, didn't go through the wall. Yeah. Oh, that's creepy. Yes. I love stuff like that. Bottom of the iceberg for Mario 64, there's one that's Bowser broke the door. The door into the castle courtyard is bricked up as if it was broken through the quid.

This was written before. Bowser was bricked up, dude. He's a turtle. It's all weird. And quickly patched up, this has led some people to assume that Bowser broke into the castle through the back door. Oh. That's... Bowser used the back door.

door, okay. Let's see. Haunted dirt texture. This is supposedly a dirt texture with a face, and it's just like, I think that's a stretch. That's the like similac. What's it called simulacra? Oh my God.

Parodolia, where you start to see like faces and everything. Faces and things? Yeah. Like on Mars. Yeah. What? Yeah, the face on Mars. That's also where Doom takes place.

Doom has faces and texture. is on the walls. Oh, my God. Oh, my God, we're back. There's a theory that there's Zelda 64 beta assets in wet, dry world, just because, like, they were in the process of making Ocarina of Time, so they think, like, there was test things in there. But you get down into the deep, deep, like, crazy stuff, you get to the depths. Okay, the depths. And my favorite one is, like,

the deepest bottom of it is that Mario 64, for Nintendo used a experimental AI and that every copy of Mario 64 is personalized. Oh my God. That it morphs to how you play. So that explains why some people experience things in the game that nobody else has ever seen. That's a really cool thing.

And I'm like, I love that. That it's like, it's the most chosen thing I've ever heard in my life. It's like, back in the 90s, they had this experimental AI. That was fucking way better than anything now. That they fit onto this little tiny, And it was on a cartridge.

You know what, though? That does track a little bit because how many times you've been trying to get a game to work in the cartridge days and it doesn't work and then someone goes, no, no, no, let me try. And they can do it and they can make it work. And you're like, oh my gosh, like the beast responds to no one but me. It reads your, it knows your DNA. Yeah, like welcome home. Welcome home.

That'd be sick. That would be great. There was some other weird ones. Let's see. Shared nightmare. Shared nightmares is a concept which spans outside of Super Mario 64, although it heavily relates to conspiracy

theories. Many people who played Super Mario 64 claim to have nightmares which are strikingly similar to those others in their communities have. The most common of these nightmares relate to the haunted piano and a Kellogg's partnership with Mario 64 in which the beta versions of the game's

penguins were put on the box art for their serial. These penguins were unsettling to many and spurred nightmares in which they would babble in an unintelligible language. However, maybe worth noting that the description of those penguin nightmares sound an awful lot like a description of Pingu, which has

also caused nightmares with its somewhat unsettling animation style. That's a hilarious conspiracy theory. It's like, yeah, no, Mario 64 is causing it's causing nightmares in the world and everybody can relate. It's weird because that also aligns with, like, Club Penguin and people would, like, get nightmares about that and

you know, trying to, you know, flip an iceberg. Yeah. And we're back. And we're now We're back. Extra value meals are back. That means 10, tender, juicy McNuggets and medium fries and a drink are just $8. Only at McDonald's. For limited time only. Prices and participation may vary.

Selena found an annoying Reddit comments, Iceberg. Oh, right. Oh, okay, let's go. Good. Thank you for the karma kind stranger. Yeah, we got here at the top, we have Happy Cake Day. We have my brother in Christ. Oh, yeah.

Came here to say this. I think my brother in Christ was deeply funny the first, like, couple times I heard it, and then I was like, oh. And then we really did a lot. Not all heroes wear capes. Thanks for the gold kind stranger. There we go. Let's see. You get a little bit further.

You get down to, like, just below the surface. You've got, y'all ain't ready for that conversation. RIP, my inbox. Oh, you sweet summer child. You get stuff like Cy, asterix unzips Oh my God This logged in just to upvote

What did I just read? Uh-huh, sure I saw a TikTok the other day that was just like The person that kills the flow in every conversation they're in And it's just someone walking up being like Whoa, what did I just walk into? That's like everybody like I feel like back in like the early 2000s

everyone's like, um, awkward. Yeah, it's the, it's the Joss Whedon, like, well, that happened. Yeah. So anyone else see the giant witch with fangs in the room? Like, yeah. It's very funny. At this stage, having used Reddit so much, I now can pretty much accurately guess the top comment of every single post I see.

It's a pun. It's always a pun. I hate, I, that's the thing I hate the most about Reddit is when somebody's asking a genuine question. and I want to know the answer to that question and the first the most upvoted thing is somebody just making a fucking pun

off of that thing and I know that I'm just going to have to minimize that conversation and the second answer will be the actual answer if you're lucky Is it just bots? Is it just bots?

No, it's just, man. Has AI figured out how to pun? No, it's Reddit, man because that's how it's always been and it'll be a pun followed by someone quoting something and then everybody decides, hey, let's quote that entire movie. Yeah.

And it'll be just line after line of quoting that whole movie. Or some. Yeah, it's just like, all right, guys, all right, we're doing this. I like, I'm not a Reddit user. I don't have an account or anything like that, but I do every once in a while, like, you know, Google used to be a thing where, like, you would type in a question and then there'd be like a thousand different websites that are potentially dedicated to that question. Now it's like there's four websites we all use.

So I have to be like, what's, you know, what's travel tips for this place? in March, Reddit, enter, and then I hate when the top comment is like, you know, Google was free or like, hey, there's five other topics that are like this in the board. I'm like, but I don't have an account. Just like answer their question or link to the thing. Like, don't. It's like, why are you commenting that? What was in the depths of the Reddit one? The depths of the- You guys can tell when the Adderall kicks in, may wait through the episode for me. So, I mean, it's, it's kind of hard. I feel like they're all, I already, I know a lot of these. Like stupid games when stupid pride is. Yeah, sir, this is a Wendy's. Not my proudest fap. Okay, I feel like that one I see a lot. That one's there a lot.

A lot of these I see a lot. Because these are just subreddits I just frequent. Faith in humanity restored. Chef's kiss. Chef's kiss. Is there stuff on there like, hope this helps? Because there's like the shitty Twitter comments where it's just like, da-da-da-da-da, hope this helps. Or I'm just going to leave this here.

I know. You win the internet. Oh, our angry upvote. Yeah. I was today years old. You know, all those. No, it's, the internet really, like, there was a good period of time where I felt like you could go to the internet and you're like, I'm going to get the answers I'm looking for. Nowadays, no. You know what? People just do not want to. It's about dunking on each other. And so it's like every single answer is just a like, owned, got you. I think we should make this the full on millennial episode. I think we should keep talking about the Bean apartment 23. and I think we should be like, you know, the internet used to mean something, you know. I will say there is a subreddit that I get served a lot and they never, I feel like the answer usually is at the top and it's a, I think it's a mineral ID subreddit. There are, the more niche you get into subreddits where there's less, the less popular they are, the more useful they actually are. Yeah.

So there's a lot of, there is a lot of subredits that are like, help me identify this thing. Yeah. So it'll be like, what's this bug? And they'll take a photo of a bug. And the comments are always super helpful. You know, I did finally get a sewing machine for leather crafting again. I got it in an auction. It's the one that I used to use when I was a leather craftsman before Smosh.

Like, it's like a workhorse from the 80s. Like, it's really strong, and I, like, finally found it for sale. But, like, looking up, you know, leathercraft sewing machines, Reddit, those people were so helpful. Those people would be like, I'm actually going to. to look at this. No, that's not the horsepower you need. You would have to get a walking foot attachment, and at that point, you would have to get another motor. Make sure you do that. So, yeah, the niche stuff

seems to be like... It still seems to be untainted by Redditors. I think it's the general Reddits that are just flood. When it's got too many people, it's not like a very specific thing. The more specific it gets,

the better Reddit is. Sure. And I think that's the case for kind of almost anything. but Reddit's still the top for that stuff like Reddit? I have not visited Reddit's just people who make bread so they're just talking about bread and it's also the more niche it gets the more positive it is

too. It's less negative just like oh we're all here we're focused on this thing there's also a cartoon network iceberg and I don't recognize almost anything Is Fusion Fall on there? Yeah so Fusion Fall where is that? I'm guessing it's like three quarters the way down

yeah Fusion Fall is like like down below. What's Fusion Fall? Dude, Fusion Fall was Cartoon Network's online MM-O-R-P-G. Like, they tried to do like a World of Warcraft kind of deal, but it was all, um, it was all like post-apocalyptic, and all the characters

were kind of like, aged up and kind of like more, um, how to describe it? It was more like stylized, almost like anime, but not quite. So you would start out and they'd be like, you know, hey, you know, which faction do you want to join? And if you went like the Dexter's Lab,

he's like a teenager and like trying to give you all the science or the Ed and Eddie route which is all like scavenger based it's it's Cartoon Network properties all the properties like Megas XLR was there

but the art style is all its own it's own it's its own thing still with Nause the other thing so you would get like equipment and stuff

based off of like you know Ed Ed and Eddie's kind of like scavenger stuff or Dexter or like Powerpuff girls and it was like actually not just like

clicking on things like an MMO like you would like turn an aim almost like Fortnite. So it was like a Cartoon Network Fortnite style MMO way before Fortnite. You could be on teams with people. It was awesome and it never got off the ground. But I

played the hell out of it when it came out. Damn. I never knew about it. I mean, maybe I saw like trailers and stuff for it on Cartoon Network and I just never played it. I don't know. Did they advertise this that much? I don't think it was just on their website as like a beta. Whoa. Yeah. Interesting. Sorry, I keep getting sidetracked.

Is Uncle Grandpa on there? I mean, dude. No, that was a popular show. Yeah. It was a popular show. I think I was just on ads for it. I said that looks like the most annoying show in the years. Did you ever see the, when the show got canceled, the creator tweeted out a specific photo? No.

People are alluding to it a lot because when Tiny Chef was like, oh, I got canceled. They were like, do the Uncle Grandpa route. And it just was a perfect sketch of Uncle Grandpa kneeling with a pistol in his mouth. Like, the show got canceled. So he drew his own character like, oh. Oh, my God. It's dark as shit. Oh, my God.

Well, I know what I'm doing if Smosh ever gets canceled. Well, called it. Oh, my God. That's so insane. A kid's show. Well, not anymore. It's like, well, got canceled. What are they going to do?

Oh, my God. Holy shit. That's the best. That is amazing. I actually knew one of these that's down pretty deep on the iceberg, is the Ed Edd-Ed-Ed Nettie original series finale. Yeah. Yeah, where it's like they go and they see Ed's brother

and his brother's like horrible. And it's like kind of like a really dark episode of like, oh, you have this horrible like family situation. But they kind of like are like, know where your friends were here for you. And they like fight his brother. Yeah. I think it's like intense.

And I don't know if they play it that often. But I don't think they do because it does like you said allude to kind of like familial abuse. Yeah. And because like Eddie's whole thing is just like, yeah, my brother told me out of scam and my brother did this. And my older brother is going to bring me to Vegas one day. And then he meets his older brother and everyone's watching him like get his shit rocked. And they're like, oh.

Oh, your brother hates you. Yeah, this isn't good, buddy. So it's like really sad and serious and like an important message, but just like tough. Yeah. Interesting. I'm surprised this is really far down. But the Tsunami Tom redesigns. Oh, yeah.

I mean, yeah, because when Tsunami started, Tom was like a little guy, and then he got bigger and buffer over the years. But he, like, kind of, didn't he, like, die? Yeah, sucked into a black hole. And so he, like, kind of, was it a new version of him? Like, it was new robot Tom's, or I forget the, like, Tom was a host of, like, the anime hour or whatever for Cartoon Network. And so, yeah, they, he was, like, the interstitials, like, he was piloting you through the different shows. And, yeah, I think they wanted to do, like, a rebrand and redesigned. they're like all new shows all new cool shit like here's better cgi for our little robot i i it's

always like the bottom is just like a weird vague saying so it's like double d's hat and it's like what what's up with double d's hat like i don't know johnny bravo bollywood that sounds incredible that sounds cool oh ringo star falsely credited see i i love this stuff yeah okay cool But then there's an annoying orange iceberg. But I don't know anything about annoying orange, so, yeah. Like down deep, it's like Rule 34. It's like, okay, we're not going to touch on that. That's basically just call me by your name.

Oh, you're right. Oh, yeah. That annoying orange did play the peach. Call me by your name. So if you want that left on the one. I feel like we both had the same image just now and just stopped ourselves. Oh, yeah, we thought about it. Yeah, we thought about it.

I want to now move over to us talking about Smosh and ourselves on Smosh, and, yeah, Smosh Iceberg. I want us to pitch things and throw out where on the iceberg we think they would go. All right? So, for instance, the bear shirt that I used to wear. Okay, sure. I think a lot of fans would be like, what's the bear? Like, if you saw it on an iceberg, you just said, Shane's Bear Shirt. Yeah.

I mean, it's in a lot of content at a certain time. I think it a good one. Golden Cat. Ooh, Golden Cat. I think Golden Cat's, like, bottom of the iceberg, maybe just below the surface. I think Bear Shirt would be a little above that. Okay. I think, well, maybe it would be around the same level.

You know, for the sake of us not having it in front of us, let's say, like, four sections, five sections. Like, tippy top can be one. deep sea fangly fishes is five and then right touching the surface can be three most have seven levels but i like i like us saying just like it's it's at the top of the iceberg it's sure bottom of the iceberg or it's down in the depths whatever um but uh i'm down to hear ideas now i've got some things here that uh we've never talked about on camera but i don't think it's bad but i'm like it could be way at the bottom so i think favorite pizza place can be like right up top yeah i think favorite pizza place is you could put it a I feel like you put it like maybe on the second level now just

because now like you like when's the last time we referenced it it's not referenced that much it's interesting how far but it is it is it is on the iceberg right like because it was like the thing for a while but I'd say right now it's like I need to calm down is like top of the iceberg sure favorite pizza place you know what though I do think favorite pizza place is at the top it's like pink donuts at the top food battles at the top I would say where's Anthony is very high up because I think I'm not to smosh people. For sure, for sure. Where's Anthony is definitely high up there? Olivia's jumpsuit, probably just below the water?

At this point, yeah. Maybe, or just above, or maybe just below. I was also going to pitch Life's a Party, you're a boy. Ooh. That could be... That's just below the surface. Because we've talked about it, but we haven't talked about it in a long time, and it's like, you got to like, if you know, you know. It was an Olivia moment that was very defining and iconic. It's still the funniest Olivia moment to me. LeVar Burton buying Smosh. It's pretty below the surface.

Oh, I don't know that one. What's that one? It was a April Fool's video that we actually shot with Lovar Burton. Oh, nice. Of Reading Rainbow and Star Trek and Roots fame. We made this video like he bought Smosh and that he was basically re-editing all the videos to put himself in it. Oh, that's awesome.

And so, like, we shot him. on, like, green screen and, like, added him in, like, old videos. Oh, I love that. That's incredible. All right. Yeah, we used to do, like, good, like, April Fool's videos. I thought you were not to say, we used to do good content. We used to do good content.

Yeah, we used to do good April Fool's video until you fucked that up with your wedding. Sorry, man. You know? No, nobody's going to. I still get people at conventions when I'm doing, like, voiceover conventions that come up, they're like, are Shane and Courtney really married? I'm like, yes. And I don't know what else.

I can say at this point to make you believe it and it's not my job too. I can't believe Dan and Phil won up to us. For real. Like, full on, they win. Yeah. They win. That was a pretty, that was a, yeah. Can I say something crazy? I never watched Dan and Phil back in the day, so I don't know them too well, but for whatever reason when I saw the news come out, they were like, yeah, this video is 16 years, whatever. I thought something about that already came out like a year or two ago. Like it was confirmed already. I thought so, too. I don't watch their content either.

I mean, I know who they are. I know who they are, yeah. Engaged with them. But I think it was one of those things where I saw the news and I was like, oh, I thought that was, I thought that was already a thing. I thought I did also think that was already a thing. But I think it's that their fans maybe pushed that so hard. I thought they had specifically said it.

I think the internet wanted it to be real so bad that we were all like, oh, that's, that's the case. Well, they had both, they had both come out a few years ago. Ah. Oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah. And I think they, I don't think they came out at the same time, but basically, like, that, you know, sort of, I think probably reignited some of the fandom behind like, oh, it could actually be real because they're both gay. Right.

Got it. So, yeah, I think that's probably what you're thinking of. Probably. I'm also very happy. That had to be stressful, man. Oh, I can't imagine. But, I mean, to relate to the iceberg, E. Anthony was probably, probably, uh, I was going to say shipping in general. E Anthony.

Anthony. Yeah, a lot of shipping up there. Yeah, a lot of different ships, a lot of ships. Yeah. Okay, I've got a couple here. For you, Ian, you worked at Chucky Cheese. Where would you put that on them? Okay. Yeah, I mean, it's, I'd say it's kind of core lore, sort of, but it's not talked about very often. I'd put it, it's definitely below the surface. I'd say maybe like three down.

Okay. Where do you think, I think this one goes low. This could be bottom of the iceberg. Anthony's Flash games Oh that that was like kind of the OG Smosh thing I mean I would say even below that Anthony's Age of Empire's website

Anthony's No this is great What? What about this? What's Anthony's Age of Empire's website? Oh Oh lolo Olo loo

Yeah He had an Age of Empires website That like had a forum and I don't know if like maybe I guess I'll check with them and make sure that this is okay to talk about but yeah what was going on on that website he also he also had like one of the most popular like age of empires to like custom maps really yeah yeah he had like uh he had this like custom map it was called I think it was called smosh it was like uh I forget the name of like

that style style game I think it was called like a blood bath game where it was like essentially like you just constantly create units and then try to take over the other person anyway um it was called like i think it was called like smosh blood and was this before the youtube channel yeah so holy crap that's so cool yeah so he had i don't think i don't think he had made smosh dot com yet maybe maybe he did because this was like in high school um so early 2000s and yeah he had he had a a website that was all about age of empires and there was like a community that was like the OG Smosh um so i put that at the i put that at the deepest depths that is you guys didn't even know about it that's a cool one the smosh age of empires two custom map uh yeah i also

think what's really down low is smosh was made in 2002 like smosh dot com was like it's not 2005 was the youtube channel yeah it started as the online like magazine writer the website yeah yeah it's it was mostly porn no i'm just kidding no no it was yeah it was yeah it started as like like a community for like people that were at our school but then also like flash animations and and there were some people I think from the Age of Empires website

that came over. That's so cool. That's wild. That's sick as hell. See that's the cool stuff that I like to find on icebergs. It's like a niche but like kind of wholesome thing. Yeah. I admire Anthony's like people people call it like side question you know where I was like hey I'm

an off-Broadway thing right now. Come see me. People are like, you're just side quests. And I'm like, yeah. And I see someone like, Anthony, I'm like, I don't even hold a candle where he's like, yeah, I paint now. And I used to make Age of Empires maps, and now I'm in Prague. It's a man of hobbies. What? Like, this is so cool. You guys play Age Vampires

sometimes, right? Yeah. Yeah. We're trying to find a... Because we haven't played against humans. We tried once, and we got our asses kicked. Because I'm playing on controller like an insane person. I play with y'all. Because I was a red alert command and conquer guy,

which doesn't make sense, but it was just the game that I had. So it's Age of Empires with Armymen instead. Yeah, come through. Yeah, we're always looking for more people to play with. We're trying to find the right balance with computer difficulty because we get our asses handed to us on hard,

but we steamroll medium. It's a big jump in that game. I feel the same way with civilization where, like, I'm building my city and the easiest level. And, oh, look, I win. And then the second you boost it up a little bit, it's like, barbarians have eaten your civilians.

You're like, well, okay. Siv is incredibly, like, it's, it's, when you raise the difficulty on that, they're just cheating. Yeah. Yeah. It's bullshit, it's bullshit. Damien, for you, where do you think Randall goes? I think that's deep, deep.

Because, so I recently was thinking about bringing him back for you in the TNTL, Randall is, when Shane and I used to be on the Disney Channel, we had our own version of, like, Try Not to Laugh before Try Not to Laugh. We would truly drink water and try to make each other spit it out. Yeah, and I would do this character name Randall. It's the first thing I did on Try Not To Laugh, which is the one, please, women, huh? Yeah.

I'll tell you what, buddy, and I would just monologue as that character, and Shane would lose it, and then... It was your first joke, but it was a joke that we'd been telling for, like, you'd been telling that for, like, six years at that point. Yeah, well, just depends how long we'd known each other. It's crazy, though. I'm going into shows, specific shows. We have things like seriously super stupid sleepover. Yeah, I think that's low, but I think it's like bottom of the iceberg, maybe below the surface. How about part timers?

Oh, I was going to say, what about the, because wasn't there a Jake Paul series? There's a Jake Paul episode that they never aired. That they never aired. The never aired Jake Paul episode. That's deep down. crazy. You said part-timers though, and that's, I think that's pretty deep. I don't think it's, I mean, it's still

out there. I know. All of it's out there. I mean, all of it's out there. I mean, all this lore that we're reading on other icebergs is technically stuff that's out there. It's just like how, how in the know do you have to be to be aware of it? And I think part-timers just like,

it was less well-known than sleepover. Also, the Smosh Elks Lodge video. That shit. Oh. Yeah. anti-drug. I'll occasionally see people find that and, like, post,

and be like, what is this? People occasionally resurface that, for sure. Those were big at the time. They did a lot of views, but it is, like, wild to see it compared to our vibe overall. Spencer's one ball. That's...

Top of the iceberg. That's very... Yeah, it's too much. I think it's like right there. I think the Chosen could be top of the iceberg. I think Chosen's top of the iceberg now. See enough cosplays. Munge?

Mung. That's pretty deep I think that's some old smosh games lingo Remember when we used to talk about bug snacks? Talking about bugs snacks? Dude, bug snacks. That was just Damien. He was just bringing it up all the time.

Well, dude, because we're talking about bugs snacks. We are in fact talking about bugs snacks. I have a show that did not really get off the ground. It was the show that they tried to do for a minute about fears. Yeah. Where you had to go in that doll room. I don't think it's below the surface though because I see people reference it a lot.

Really? Yeah. Like the butterfly. episode with with Olivia and stuff it was a another like that was an interesting choice what about pharaoh high pharaoh high i forgot about that i think it's below the surface just below the surface i think just below the surface it's like you'll know the joke from tn tl but that we made an entire series out of it a series on youtube shorts yeah yeah between that and the spud hut i never would have expected that spud hut was the one that like went on to do way better like this pharaoh high

I was just there. It was just wild. And I've got one that never aired. And so it's Smosh Lord that might be new and we can cut it if we need to. Ian exclamation point. Yeah. The talk show that we wrote that down, the Ian show. Remember we were trying to make that?

It's what eventually became Let's Do This. I think Let's Do This was, but back at Mythical, we were trying to make another show. A scripted character talk show. I mean, I would say it was closer to Bit City almost because it was, we were looking at something like Maury or like Jerry Springer, right? Yes, yes. And we were going to do like a scripted silly version of that. Yeah.

Right? Yeah. You're right. It was kind of like an early iteration of BitCity that we never made. And was it like Sonic the Hedgehog was like the guest or something? Yeah. I seem to recall we did like a table read and then we never shot it. Did we shoot it?

No. I think we might have recorded. We did a rehearsal of it. Yeah. Yeah. I remember that. Yeah. We were trying to make that.

And that's at the very bottom, like, nobody, now people know about it. Now people know about Ian. Ian, with an exclamation mark. Where do you think let's do this goes? I would put it maybe just below the surface, just below the surface, just because, like, it's, it was a moment in time that that was, like, immediately eclipsed by, by the return of Anthony and kind of the sort of, like, renaissance that happened after that. Sure. So it was kind of like this, I'd put it in this sort of like lost era of the main channel where we were trying a lot of things. Yeah, that's fair.

But we just didn't have the eyeballs on the content. Yeah, that's fair. I don't know if it's been long enough for it to be that obscure, though. I feel like it's still pretty like middle of, middle of like iceberg above surface. I think it's like bottom of the iceberg. Because I think it was like people talk about it. Above the surface. I think it's above the surface.

Yeah. But yeah, you're right. It was in the era when we. We just didn't have as many eyes on us, but it was a really good show. It's got so many great moments that I still see circulated a lot. I mean, some of the hardest I've ever left was filming that show. Chances like cheating. Oh, my God.

I mean, Arasha's lying started there. Arasha's lie is, let's do this, yeah. Yeah, okay, so I guess it would be above the surface then. Yeah. I also wrote the COVID-Smash videos where we're like filming everything in our own backrooms. Yeah. We had some videos where it's just like, We were against the like, you know, we're swimming against the current trying to make content in a very difficult way where we're all filming separately, putting footage together, trying to bring it all together. It was really hard.

Yeah. That most annoying kid video that I filmed entirely in my apartment was like crazy because I lived in a very small apartment and it was like, all right, you're going to film this entire sketch. And I was like, I need to figure out how to make this interesting with different angles when I'm in one small room. Most annoying kid is kind of a character that I would say would go on the, would go somewhere on the iceberg. Just below the surface. Maybe below the surface. But that was like a repeated character for a while. It did like four or five videos of that.

Yeah. It's weird. Like, you know what I actually think is below the surface is every blank ever? It is like it didn't exist. Wow. But nobody ever talks about it. It got the most views out of everything we've ever done. Yeah.

And nobody talks. talks about it. It's like... It is just from a different era. It's just a different era. And I also think it was like a different general audience. Like our audience who actually like likes Smosh, likes us. I don't think they cared about it that much because it wasn't us. It was what got the views too. It's like, oh, it got 7 million views because it's shareable and now clip to Facebook.

It's just interesting. I'm like, it's like it never happened. Yeah. I mean, every blink ever is I feel like what kind of like set us up for the trouble that happened on the main channel later in terms of like every blank ever did so well for us but it reached a very broad audience that disappeared when we stopped putting it out there and then so like when we tried to create anything

on the main channel that was more specific it just didn't appeal to that broadness you're so right and I think I remember I feel like I heard maybe you were Anthony talk about that like years ago like 2015 being like yeah we're worried we just don't want this to be the every blank ever channel.

Yeah. And then it did happen. Yeah. It's so interesting. We're kind of low on time, but I have a fun pitch. Okay. I want to, imagine you come across the Smosh iceberg and you're looking at it. And at the depths, the bottom, bottom depths, there's always some weird, vague statements.

And it's like, oh, yeah, the secret lore. Like AI in Mario 64, right? Yeah. I have pitches for ones that are not real, but I'm like, imagine if you saw these at the bottom. and it would trip people out. Shane and Damien died playing dokey dokey literature club. Dude.

That would be great. Well, that works at the bottom too because it's always just rumors. Yeah. It's always rumors anyway. Oh, it's completely, yeah. Most of the bottom of the iceberg is fake stuff.

Yeah. But it's more about like the cultural moment of people being like, for a while someone thought about that. So it is an event that happened and that's why it would be at the bottom. So, yeah. I mean, we never finished that play through.

That was the end of the Shane and Damien show. That was. playing doki-dokey literature club. We never finished it. So we actually died playing it. Okay. I have one that I'm so proud of, but I'm going to save it for the end.

Okay. The Chosen is hidden in all Smosh videos. Just being like, oh wait, the Chosen was in every video, even going back to the first videos. I like that a lot. Like, how sick is that? I could believe that.

We used to hide a flamingo, a pink flamingo in all of our videos. Okay. So. and it's been there every time wait have there always been this wait a second they change them every time

pepper why there's so many why are there bananas all in the background this is Monday look man it's Monday and you got peppers peppers what do I have behind me oh just the sign actually I would I would hide a little bird if there was ever a bird on set I would do something with it remember like you would

Yeah, you would always pick that fucking bird off of the backdrop. It would always put it on the backdrop. How about this one? Ian's name is Anthony? I love that. Imagine seeing that at the bottom of the iceberg, be like, wait, what? Who's Anthony?

People have called Anthony Ian and Ian and myself Anthony multiple times over the past month. I don't know what's going on. So maybe it's true. Maybe it's happening. Charlie the drunk guinea pig was AI. Ooh. What?

A Rasha is in Marvel. Oh. That the lie was a double lie and that she's actually in Marvel and that project just hasn't come out yet. Someone figured out the NDA and in order to fix it, we had to make it a big joke. Yeah. This is sort of Smosh adjacent. Trevor is a clone of Red and Link. Oh, my God.

Well, he'd be like a homunculus, wouldn't he? I guess so. Like, it's a combo of the two. Yeah, but he's like perfectly, he's the height that's in between both of them. Yeah. You know, he's got attributes of both. I don't know. He's...

It's of dumb theory. More powerful than they could ever be. Here is my bottom of the iceberg smosh theory. Okay, let's go. That I am so proud of. All right. That I think... Just so much lore...

It's so small, but so much lore could come from it. Shut up was a candid recording. Oh, that's so cool. Wait, what do you mean? Like, it was just... Shut up was a candid recording. Like, it's not like you're in the booth. Like, I just told Anthony to shut up.

Like, it was in the midst of a argument or something. And then it was a candid recording that was put in there. Yeah. Like, it's like, wait, what's that lore? Like, what does that build towards or whatever? I can believe that. That's a really good. It's a fun.

If seeing that at the bottom of the iceberg of shut up was a candid recording, just makes sense. Yeah. Because it goes back to the beginning. And it like, it's like, wait. I mean, you could almost, I mean, shut up at this point. I would almost put below. the iceberg. Below the surface. I think below the surface is like niche stuff though. I still think

that like even if it's not popular now, if someone was a quote unquote smosh fan and you said the like shut up thing to them, they would know what it is. It's got to be something that just not many discussions were about. Okay. Fair. And so shut up is top. That's top of the iceberg in my opinion. Okay. We'll probably at some point look more into icebergs and like, but I like it takes a lot of research to really get in the weeds. 100%. I want to see what people do with this, honestly. Yeah.

Oh, and also the live tour show. Smosh in Australia. Oh, yeah. Smosh, Australia. Smosh, Australia. When we were in Australia, when the COVID lockdown happened. We gave Tom Hanks COVID. Yeah.

Yeah, we kissed him. Tom Hanks was in the same city we were in. He got COVID. He kept going, like, every place we would leave, we would hear stories about it. Like, we'd leave Melbourne. And then it would be like, oh, Tom Hanks has COVID in Melbourne. And a bunch of people do it. We just met 300 people in line.

Yeah. Like, there's no way. And Chet Hanks was one of them. Oh, shoot. He's a big fan. Blah, blah, blah. Ian, thank you so much for joining us. Hey, thank you.

All right. Damien, thanks for hosting again. Well, you're not done. Oh, this is the last? Okay, guys. Guys, I didn't realize this. But next week, Amanda's going to be here.

Mommy? That's right. And Damien, you're going to move from that chair over to here. Thank you. And I can't wait. And honestly, it works out because I am now pregnant, and I will be having a baby. And Amanda and I are going to keep trading off, trading off back and forth forever. That's me.

That's how it goes. Awesome. I know where it's funny, because we're going to record last week's episode right after this. So I think that's, but, Damien, you've done such a great job hosting, man. Thank you. I said, I'm going to screw up next week's episode, so it sounds like you're a big old liar. But thank you. I really appreciate it.

This has been so cool. It was big shoes to fill with Angela being here, and that was big shoes to fill. She has big feet. Yeah, big old Italian feet. She's not Italian. Angela? That's top of the iceberg. Oh, Angela.

Sorry. I thought you were talking about Amanda. No, I'm just like, I was really honored to do this, and it was very special, and I don't know. I love it, and I thank you. You and Angela did such great jobs. I felt bad. I realized because, like, I wasn't keeping track that well

that Angela's last episode kind of like went by and then I was like talking to her the other day and I was like, oh, I, you did such a great job hosting. She's like, thanks for saying that on camera. And I was like, whoa. Jokingly, jokingly. No. But no, you guys both crushed it. Yeah. And I mean, obviously. Thank you.

You said it on camera and you even texted me and that's how I know that's real. So thank you. Hell yeah. It's been a delight and I can't wait to see what you guys do with this channel. Yeah. We've got exciting things. And we know if we're ever going to actually end this podcast, we know what picture we're going to post when we end it.

Uncle Grandpa. It's crazy. Look it up. I can't wait to look it up right up. It looks exactly what you think it does. Should we just pull it up right now and just all react to it live? Just to finish off the Okay.

Finish off the video. Uncle grandpa. It's the top search. All right. We'll see you later. Later. Bye. Bye.

Bye.
