Trevor's here.

I wanted to say Trevor Noah, but that's not true. No, that's not you. No. We do get mistaken a lot, though. I bet. Trevor, you're back again. This is your second time. The first time was, you know, we were welcoming you to Smosh. Now you've been here for a minute.

Yeah. For a little bit. Yeah, for a little bit. How do you feel? I feel great. I mean, I'm loving it. It's great. I just, you know, it's a whole new world.

Yeah, you're living on the edge of your seat. Solid. Yeah. Solid. What do you think of everyone here at Smosh? They're cool. Everyone's just as cool as when I knew them before, if not cooler. It's no different. Things aren't any different. No. It is nice to get to know people

more, though. Yeah. Sure. Because that changes, definitely. Right after this, you're going to go film a Try Not to Laugh, right? No. You're not in that? No, I was supposed to be, but now I'm not. I'm not funny enough is what they said. Oh, you're right. They did say that. I was in that meeting. It was a scheduling conflict.

They were like, should Trevor do it? And we were all like, no. No. Yeah, they put me in one and then they're like, maybe that's not cut out for those. Not true. Well, today we're talking about Smosh lore. So, you know, you're new here-ish. So we're gonna give you a little bit of a lesson.

A little history lesson on Smosh Pit. I'm gonna focus mostly on Smosh Pit because I was going through and I realized how much stuff there is. I was like, maybe I'll cover all of it. No, there's way too many things. So I'm gonna cover Smosh Pit. I'm gonna, maybe I'll cover all of it. No, there's way too many things. So I'm going to cover Smosh Pit.

I'm going to cover it up to right before Amanda got here. Okay. Yeah, so I'm... I don't know. Well, it's funny. I actually, on stream recently, I took a quiz online that was like, Smosh quiz, and I just went it was like on Kahoot or something, and I

went and took it. I got like, none of them right. Oh, it's like a quiz on... Yeah. About Sm Okay. What? And I went and took it. I got none of them right. Oh, it's like a quiz on- Yeah. Oh, it's- About Smosh. It's not like, which Smosh member are you? No.

This is like an actual quiz. This is an actual quiz. What were some of the questions? I don't know. A lot of them were about pit, like old shows, like something about Ian on the weekend. I don't know.

It's some weird stuff. Ian on the weekend. What? It was like Ian's something ian something ian's weekend there was some show that was called that um yeah but there was just like a lot of stuff that i was like i have no idea i want to take this quiz it was weird well you should take it after this episode and you're gonna know yeah because there's a lot of lore that i don't fully know because you know to be i i mean everyone knows this i didn't fully know smosh

at all before i got here yeah yeah we're gonna dive back we're gonna go back from the beginning we're gonna catch up to here i'm curious back like in the years where i was here okay what types of what types of things do you think we were doing what types of shows do you think we had on Smosh Pit? I feel like they were more focused on you guys, like your personalities. Like a Shane show, a Damien show, a Noah and Heath show, an Ian show. I feel like it was more focused on your personalities rather than an ensemble show, which is what I feel like Pit is now. So you haven't, just to be clear, there's no problem with this because it was a very different channel back then. You haven't

scrolled back and watched old videos from like 2015 to 2016. I think I might have a couple. Yeah, definitely. It's interesting to do. Not much though. I don't do it too often either. I get served on Twitter. Sometimes I'll get served an old clip and I'll be like, whoa. But our fans even don't do it too often either. I get served on Twitter. Sometimes I'll get served an old clip and I'll be like, whoa.

But our fans don't even bring up a lot of super old content too often. No, I've definitely looked at some of them for sure. Yeah. And been like, oh my God, you guys are babies. It's so trippy to look back. Babies. It's so trippy to look back. You guys are literal babies.

Yeah. You should have seen me in 2015 did you look like you were actually a baby i was 15 years old oh my god stop i was born in 1999 oh my god get the fuck out of here yeah really go away that was like i hit puberty late a second you were not 15 when you were 2015 yeah i was born in july of. So for half of 2015, I was 15 years old. That's crazy. That makes me feel sick. I feel very sick.

I met my husband at that age. Oh, my God. Wow. Your relationship is as old as Trevor, basically. So 2015 was when I was hired. I was about to turn 24, so I was younger. 2015, 2016, I think I look older than I do now in some way. I know I look older now, but there's something about just my demeanor

when I look back on old videos from specifically those years where I'm just like, oh man, I was burnt out. Really? Not from Smosh. I was like burnt out going into Smosh and just my life. And then 2017, it's like I started to become who I am. It's interesting. All right. Let's dive in, shall we? Yeah. So I've broken this up into different time periods. And the first one is the before times. It's before I was there. So Smosh Pit, do you know what it originally was? It was originally E&H.

And it was Ian's channel. That was one of the questions. E&H? Ian Hecox. It was Ian H. So it was his channel, and it was just him doing whatever. The main thing was called Ian is Bored, and there'd be like five-minute videos of him just being like,

today I'm going to wash my guinea pig. And he had a pet guinea pig, and he would give it a bath in the sink, and that was all that it was. Wow. It was just that stuff. And then over time, it would sink, and that was all that it was. Wow. It was just that stuff. And then over time, they would do like, it would be Ian and Anthony. So it eventually turned into Smosh's board, and it'd be them both hanging out. And they would do like lunchtime with Smosh, mail time with Smosh, where they would open

up fan mail, stuff like that. So very just like, as you said, very personal content, just kind of vlogs. There wasn't like, here's this video idea. It was just like, hey, we're hanging out and we're eating. We're eating lunch and we'll answer questions from our fans. It was a lot of that. That was like big on YouTube at the time.

Oh, that's when it was. YouTube was people sitting in front of cameras in their room. They wanted to see people. It was vlog content was huge. And at that time, Smosh, the main channel was enormous. This was when it was like the number one channel. And so Smosh second channel was truly just like a second channel where they would just kind of upload whatever. They weren't really putting in the I don't mean this in a bad way.

They weren't putting in the effort that we're putting in now because that that was the whole point of it was that it was just like. Well, we're up against so many other they're filming themselves in these videos just kind of casually doing it i need to watch these videos oh they're fun talk about someone being a baby like watching ian from back then it's shocking um in some ways he looks exactly the same yeah he looks so i've seen what he looks like back in the day. He doesn't. But he looks different. Yeah. Yeah. And then eventually, eventually they brought on Mari and they did Smosh Pit Weekly. And that was a show that she did entirely by herself but uploaded it onto the second channel.

And that was like a news show. Like a clip news show where they would talk about what's going on every week. So Smosh Pit had a very different vibe. Kind of like what we're doing. Yeah. Yeah. In a different way. In a very different way. If you like what we're doing. Yeah. Yeah, I guess. In a different way. In a very different way.

If you watched it, you'd be like, oh, this is such a different thing. But it was good. But it was a different vibe back then. But that's not what we're going to talk about since I don't have personal experience. We'll have Ian come on at some point and delve into that. But what we're really starting here is 2015 when The Squad was hired. This is the Defy era. The squad.

Oh. The squad. Yeah. Hey, look. What are we? That's what we were called. We were called the Smosh Squad. Courtney.

That's what he said. Yeah, you guys are not. They were called the squad, and it's like, let's get the stars in. Trevor, Amanda. Let's get the cool people in. We didn't initially call ourselves the squad, but you know, the five of us were hired full time and there wasn't much for us to do.

So we're just hanging out. The first like year, really, we didn't have like shows or anything. We would occasionally post like a vlog, like, or just be involved in some videos. That was also every blink ever had just be involved in some videos. Um,

that was also every blank ever had just started when I got hired. Uh huh. And for those listening who don't know what that is, cause it ended like, I did EB. You did every blank ever. So we call them EBS. Uh, they were our list video shows where we'd be like every target ever.

And it, we would just do a bunch of target jokes, little, little one-offs, but that had just started when I joined. where we'd be like every target ever. And we would just do a bunch of target jokes, little one-offs. But that had just started when I joined. And so that was the main stuff I was doing on the main channel. And we would fly up to Sacramento to film everything that went on that channel.

So every other week, we were going to Sacramento for a few days. I do know this. It was crazy. And we would sleep at the old Smosh house. They'd all sleep in one bed. Yeah. Basically.

No, we all had air mattresses. That's crazy. Wait, the five. You said the five. Keith, Noah, Courtney, Olivia, myself. Okay. It was us five. We were the first people for the Smosh Pit channel.

They hired us to also be in sketches and stuff. They hadn't done that at that point. And so, yeah, it was us five. But we would do that. And then when we weren't in Sacramento, we were in Beverly Hills at the Defy office. Oh, God. In this very, very corporate office building trying to film content, trying to film vines. We would literally, a lot of days,

it would be like, what do we do? And they'd be like, film vines. And there's some that kind of popped off. Like there's the white people faces one that Courtney and I are still known for. There's some actually iconic memes that have come from old Smosh content that we were in. There's some actually iconic memes that have come from old Smosh content that we were in.

There's that and there's also the Keith, there's the Keith masturbating meme that is a very famous meme. It circulates all the time. Yeah, and that's from an Everyblank ever. I haven't seen that yet. That's crazy. Yeah, you never guess that's like,

what is Everyblank ever's legacy? The Keith meme. So we had all of that stuff. And then so eventually they started to need to make shows for us, right? They were like, we need to create some new content. They started kind of putting the squad, as we started to call ourselves, mainly on the Pit Channel. Because Ian and Anthony were super busy. This was before Anthony left. This is still that era.

So they were like, let's start making shows for them and have that go. And so the first one that I recall, the first two, one was Put It In My Mouth with Noah. What's happening here? That's what it was called. Good thing the stars weren't there yet because we wouldn't have said yes to this.

I am so curious how you would have reacted to so much of the content we made then. So that was Noah's show and he would have a guest on every time and they would eat a bunch of horrible shit. Oh, wow. It was eat it or yeet it except there's no hope. Awful shit. Yeah yeah and i was on

a couple episodes and it was always devastating uh it had truly one of the worst things the worst smell i've ever i've ever endured one of the episodes they brought on uh this fermented fish from i think it's like Iceland. Oh, Sweden. It's called surströmming. Yes. And it was the worst smell I've ever endured in my life. It is the most diabolical smelling thing ever. I had to open a can of it for Mythical one time.

I did too. I had to go out to the parking lot. I refused to open it indoors because if you open it inside. We did it outside. We did this episode outside. Yeah, it's awful. What does it taste like? Pickled herring. Oh.

It doesn't even taste that bad. The smell, though, is absolutely horrendous. It's awful. Yeah, it is a nightmare. But Noah did that show for a long time. A long time. He did that show a long time before we ever did Eat It or Eat It. Wow.

Noah has endured so much gross food, it's wild. But it had its own set. It had its own theme. It had everything. And I throw a little joke about it in Noah's Funeral because the beginning of that show, in the opening sequence, he'd be like, I'm going to eat it. It was the dumbest thing. So in Noah's funeral,

before I went up, cause I was playing Noah, I turned to Keith and I whisper, I just go, I'm going to eat it. It got Keith so bad. The other show was Olivia and Courtney's show. Seriously,

super stupid sleepover. That sounds awesome. That sounds great. See the stars. We would have been into that. The stars. I would have probably signed the contract for that show. Yeah. That show was ridiculous. It was good. It's just like it was very much

that era where it was like okay the girls. What's their show going to be? Pink pillows and fights and boys and bones and masturbating, wait what? Oh we don't talk about that knowing Courtney now like picturing her in that type of

content is so funny like it just was like so pigeonholed into like you're girls and you're girls we had Logan Paul was a guest on that show on the sleepover what did he do

we would just do different types of little challenges or stupid things I think Jake Paul did an episode but the episode was like so weird and he said such weird shit that they like didn't air it he was like you girls want to die tonight that's funny.

Go outside and scare a bear. No, our live show we did like a little over a year ago last summer was based on sleepover. I know, I wasn't there. It was a sleepover live show. Oh, you weren't in that. I was getting married. Oh, yeah. So wait, what were you doing in the 2015-2016?

Yeah, what were you doing? What were you up to? I was doing Vines. I was heavily into Groundlings. You were doing Vines? Yep. I didn't realize you were on Vines. I was doing Vines with Steph Barkley.

That's right. You did tell me that. That's how I met Steph. So I was doing Vines, and I was auditioning, and I was deep into the Groundlings program. Nice. And then I had an every Friday show in Sherman Oaks at a really rundown theater. Hell yeah. We put together an entire improv slash sketch show,

our own show, every Friday. And we had my sister and her husband would come and then we had three regulars. And that's about it. And the two women would read novels in the front and their boyfriends would sit in the front, and their boyfriends would sit on the other side and drink beer. That's awesome.

I'm not kidding. It was every time. And the women hated me, and the men loved me, and the women loved the guys on my troop. And the guy on my troop is still my best friend to this day. He married my husband and I. There you go.

And the two women reading the books attended your wedding. is still my best friend to this day. He married my husband and I. There you go. He was, but we, and the two women reading the books attended your wedding. No. And they hated you. No, they did not. And they were the type that would get like McDonald's and sit in the front and the seats were shit.

And we, we like curated a whole show and they were just, and they're like, I don't like her. No, I don't like her either. Love that. But they kept coming. They came I don't like her either. Love that. But they kept coming.

They came every time. They showed your support. I was just performing as much as I could. That's great. Yeah. The last thing I'll say about Sleepover, seriously super stupid Sleepover, was it was the birth of my first character on Smosh, which was Courtney freaking Miller. Oh.

She came from that show. A lot of people have heard this story, but basically what happened was Courtney was sick one day. They needed to film the show. And they're like, Shane, do you want to co-host it with Olivia instead? And I go, sure. Do we have like a blonde wig?

And they're like, yeah, we can find one. I'm like, I'm just going to be Courtney. And we won't address it. And so I put on this wig and I'm sitting there and it kind of was like a little bit more of like a Rod Stewart, like rocker. So I was like, okay, so this looks nothing like Courtney's hair,

but whatever, it looks kind of hardcore. And then we had some guests, they were from Clever TV, these like entertainment hosts. So they're not like comedians. They interview people on the red carpets and stuff. So it's Olivia, those two. And then they're introducing themselves at the beginning and it gets to me and I just, I'm like, what do I do? What should I do? I decided to be as aggressive as humanly possible. So it gets to, it's like, Hey, I'm Olivia. I'm, I'm Aaron. I'm

Jocelyn. It gets to me and I just go, I'm Courtney Miller. And I was just like, I was just like in it. I was just, I was like, what if I just was a wrestler and I just was angry. Oh my God, I love this. I just went for it

and then it was stupid and we just kind of kept going with it. And so every time I got the chance, I would just be like, I'm going to put on that wig and just be Courtney. I love that. That's great.

This show actually sounds fucking awesome. It sounds like an Amanda Bynes. It was just a variety show. A lot of our shows back then were just variety shows. But I actually sounds fucking awesome. It sounds like an Amanda Bynes. It was just a variety show. A lot of our shows back then were just variety shows. But I love the sleepover aspect because it's very nostalgic. And then our other thing we did was squad vlogs. So we would do vlogs

but we would call it squad vlogs so it would be the five of us. We would go out places. We would go do things. The first video we ever had that was like a hit is we got pole dancing lessons. That's awesome. The stars would be into that. In fact, you guys aren't going to believe this.

I was pretty good. I can believe it. I believe it, yeah. You have thighs that could murder a truck. You could crush a truck in your thighs. You could be Optimus Prime with thighs. Literally, of course you can hang on to a pole. I didn't realize, because I knew nothing about pole dancing, that the poles spin on their own.

Or they have the ability to. I didn't know that. So I get there, and I realize that. I'm like, these spin on their own? I was like, oh, hell yeah. All I have to do is hold on. So yeah, I was going nuts on those things. It was awesome. Pull up the footage. Oh was awesome pull up the footage oh you can show

some footage we'll show a clip show a clip of me going nuts on that are you wearing heels no no oh well then it's like workout real clothes it's not no but uh i actually, I named my name. Stripper name? My stripper name was Lex Patron. And then later on, Courtney's character, Dominic Patron. And so I'm like, maybe they're related. Yeah, definitely. So can we get Lex to come out of her shell?

Yeah. Maybe. Oh my God. I think we should do a pole dancing part two because it was so much fun and it's so stupid. That'd be awesome. I, just the thought of me and like Angela and you guys like. You know who would crush his chance? Oh, chance would destroy.

Would he though? I think so. Does he have thick thighs? Why do you need thick thighs? To grip the pole. You can grip. Oh, you're not going upside down. Well, you can. You can do whatever you want. Okay. There's no rules. What would your stripper name be? We've got Lex Patron. I was Lex Patron.

Okay. I forget what the other ones were. I have no idea. I'd really have to think about that. You don't have yours just on deck? We should try to get that. Pipe Johnson. Pipe Johnson? There. No, I don't. What's yours? Pipe Johnson. Pipe Johnson? There, he may come back. Well, that's because you're very good at names.

Yeah, we know that. Your character names. Pipe Johnson. Pipe Johnson. The second time you've referenced Pipe Johnson. I've been trying to figure out who I want him to be. You know what, man? If you really workshop your characters and work on them and keep putting them out there,

fans will group around it. I got one I've been cooking up. You'll be excited around it. I got one I've been cooking up. I got one I've been cooking up. I found a pair of boxers while I was shopping at the mall recently and as soon as I saw it, I was like, that's a character. Okay. The pair of boxers?

The pair of boxers. It was just the birth. It was like the seed. The seed was planted in my mind and I watered it with that character water and it grew into a beautiful thing in my mind. Is the boxers gonna be part of the character? Yeah, pretty crucial part of the character.

Wow. He's gonna walk out on Try Not to Laugh, holding a pair of boxers, he's gonna be like, my name's Eric! And that's gonna be it. You wanna see my dinghy? Stop spoiling it! My character's funny thing is he shows everyone his penis.

Yeah. All right. Good job, Trevor. Maybe you were sitting there like, you shouldn't have egged him on. Oh, yeah. That character water really worked on that one. You burst it. Shut up. No, they're like boxers, but they're not like really boxers.

They have pockets and stuff. I'd be wearing underwear underneath them. Probably like compression underwear. Like Captain Underpants. Yeah. Sort of like that. Very original. So we had squad vlogs, and we would do all sorts of funny stuff like that.

But eventually I got my own show. Oh. What do you think my show was? I'm curious. Shane. What do you think they saw in me and they were like, this is what we should base a show around him? Well, I don't want to be rude but probably like all right uh maybe something with

weights or sports or some like crazy like high energy like ah oh okay that last one okay that was involved a little bit okay i hate you so okay. I'm sorry. Wait, let me think. Movie reviews. That would be sick. That would be awesome. Something interviewee that you're like, Gah! No.

Riding roller coasters. No, I wish. We have done that. We've done that later on. The show that I got was Smosh Lab, where we did science experiments every episode. Yeah, I remember being like, so I'm the science guy? What? That's what I think of when I see you. I'm like, that guy knows science.

That guy is smart as hell. This is like Saved by the Bell, where the hot blonde guy is like, you know science, right? Get in there. So it was Smosh Lab, but it was co-hosted by an actual person who knew what they were doing. It was Nick Juhasz, a science guy. He was very smart. He knew all these science experiments. But he co-hosted it with me, But I'm like, what can I do?

I'm like, you're my co-host, but you're the science guy. I'm just here. Yeah, but you're the energy. I did have to bring a lot of energy. You're the audience. I learned a lot. That's where I began learning about hosting. And it was challenging because I had to host a show about something I didn't know anything about.

And there was a lot of fun challenges with that. And I do love science. I love science experiments. And there was a lot of fun challenges. And I do love science. I love science experiments. But it was hard. That's like me on Mythical Kitchen. Yeah. Because I know nothing. You've never actually cooked.

I don't know anything about cooking, so it's hard. You have a croissant tattooed on your arm. That doesn't mean anything. And milking cookies. I have a tiger tattooed on my arm, too. I've never been a tiger. Look at the tiger. I've never cooked a tiger before.

I've never been a tiger. But one cool experiment we got to do that I was stoked about was, you know like that elephant toothpaste stuff? Yeah. So you mix a bunch of chemicals together. I'm about to tell you, Amanda. Well, you don't know. Are you in a bit? No, I'm not in a bit.

No, I know you probably don't know about it because it's very much like it's a YouTube-y type experiment. You don't know about YouTube? And you don't know about YouTube. I'm 65 much like, it's a YouTube-y type experiment. You don't know about YouTube? And you don't know about YouTube. I'm 65 and I'm grateful to be on this planet. Amanda, you've definitely seen this before. Okay. You have a beaker.

You put a bunch of ingredients in it and then it shoots up all this foam. Like it launches. It's like an elephant. Imagine like, you know those little volcano experiments people do when they're a kid? Imagine that but on cocaine. Or on just every drug imaginable. It goes so far up. And we had a giant beaker that would barely fit on this table.

And we were outside at a parking lot in Hollywood. And so I got to dump in the like the liquids and stuff and i it happens so fast that i pour it in and it blasts up so fast that it it hits my forehead and blasts up past it shoots like at least 20 to 30 feet in the air uh it was nuts i mean it creates a gigantic pile i remember some of the foam got on my my adidas superstars and it ruined them. Oh, no, that sucks. It's so funny, because that's the exact thing that I think about when I hear, like, any YouTube science show did that in 2015.

Oh, yeah. It's like the first thing that, when you say science show, that's the first thing that pops into my head. I never knew it was called elephant toothpaste. Yeah, I think that's what they call it. Yeah, because the whole thing about it is it looks like big toothpaste, but it's, like like big and it's big and oh, so I guess so it's like they need big toothpaste We need to stop making fun of big big people. I'm sick of being called big

You're big I'm like You got some size to you. You're a big girl. Come on. I'm like, what? Damn. That sounds like just a seven-year-old guy. It's like an old man.

You're a big girl. Get in there. I'm like, what the fuck? Jesus. What the fuck? Yeah. It happens. My sister's the same height.

It's been happening forever. Oh, God. People used to call her the Jolly Green Giant. At least I don't get that. Where did the green come from? Don't fucking know. People are weird. Yeah, they are.

They see a tall person and their brain just goes, ah, big. Their eyes look in opposite directions like, big. Big bird. Big bird. Jolly Green Giant. Goliath. Elephant. Elephant toothpaste.

No one's ever called me Big Guy. Oh. Big Guy. If you want me to call it to you every morning, I will. Hey, hey, what gives? Absolutely not. Yeah, what gives? What gives?

I don't know. All right. Anyways. Uh. The stars. The stars are here. The stars are here. Um.

Totally doesn't get it. No, not even my way. Trevor. What is happening? Nothing. Ours are here. Ours are here. He totally doesn't get it. Trevor. Trevor. What is happening? Nothing. Don't worry about it. Just for us.

I'm getting destroyed. Everyone's laughing. Don't worry about it. Honestly, though. What gives? What gives? Continue the show. Fine.

Listen, big guy guy let's go alright don't please don't you don't have to it's done I'm changing you in my phone as big guy

hey big guy tiny little guy okay fun fact about Smosh Lab there was a week and it was not just Smosh Lab

it was a bunch of shows like seriously super stupid sleepover but I had a week we It was a bunch of shows, like seriously, super stupid sleepover. But I had a week, we were filming a bunch of content and on the Sunday night

or Monday night, just the beginning of that week, I went through a pretty bad breakup, like a breakup of like years. And it was like devastating. Like one of those breakup stories, like you're out of it, you don't sleep.

And then I had to film like three to four episodes of Smosh Lab. Like one of the next days. You're like, come on, let's do the experiment. So what I did, I didn't tell anyone that I was going through a breakup. I just was like, I can't. If I tell them, then I can't have that reaction from people. And so I'm like, I'm going gonna just not say anything about it and show up and just fully compartmentalize and i get it yeah and uh healthy it was it was nuts and it was kind of almost crazy to me that i pulled it off

and i pulled it off until thursday at lunch i told keith and olivia i was like yeah i went through a breakup this week. And they were like, oh my God, what? Like, we've been going through this whole week. And I had no idea. It was insane. And then, so yeah, but you had to pull through. And there was a show, back then, even more so than now,

I do think we put on a lot more of a face on those shows. I think nowadays we're very genuine to a large degree we put in energy, we definitely put in effort and it's like, we're amped but back then it was truly like yeah! welcome to Smosh Lab! that's how it felt to me sometimes

but if I was going through something really big like I have before, I probably wouldn't say anything during the whole shoot week. Because I think, but then again, sometimes I just see Angela in the morning and I'm like, hey. And I don't know what happens. It just fall apart. I know. Because then you can get it out.

You know how some people you can like get it out really quick and you can move on and then you can get through your day. Not all people are like, they're like, oh my God. And then I just didn't want to be treated differently and I didn't want, I wanted to keep the vibe good. I care about the vibe on set.

Yeah. So that was Smosh Lab. It didn't run that long. We just did like, I think one season of it. That's fun. It was fun. You're kind of doing that

with the property a little bit. I had a great time with it um the show that also came about back then because seriously super stupid sleepover ended they did they tried to do whoa nature show so here's when smosh pit actually got to a place where i thought it wasn't going to be around much longer it was not getting good views around this time because we had put it in my mouth we had uh whoa nature show we had Put It In My Mouth, we had Woe Nature Show, we had Smosh Lab, we were trying to do squad vlogs there. They tried to have a show for Keith

called One Hour Song Machine, so they wanted a show of every genre on one YouTube channel. Or every personality, that's kind of what I was thinking. You were kind of right, but that stretched this channel apart and it was all so different that it wasn't getting good views because it wasn't like a consistent place. And it was like, what do you come to this channel for?

There's just so much. Defy was putting so much branding on this channel. They had a week where they were like, the whole point of this week is that we're going to do more content, and there's going to be more content on the channel channel so what did they call this special week content week they called it more on week because there's gonna be more on smosh more on so it was literally more on week more on week but they didn't i swear to god they didn't realize that defy did not pitch it thinking that's funny.

That's what we should do. They were like, more on week. And so we had to be there and be like, guys, it's more on week. And I'm like, how are we supposed to say this without sounding stupid as hell? It's more on week. And the whole point was just like, let's just work double time and put way more shit on it. More on week? It was insane.

We should do a more on week. So much stuff like that happened at Defy where they just pumped ridiculous, like, you know. We should bring that back. No. Yeah, we'll do a moron week. No. But not extra content. We just act stupider.

We act stupider. It's like, we're really dumb. That's actually funny. Yeah. Because boys go to Jupiter to get more stupider. Am I right? And girls go to, I forget the other. I think you have to get more candy bars., am I right? Dude. And girls go to, I forget the other half. Girls go to college to get more candy bars.

What the hell? Girls go to college to get more knowledge. That's right. Boys go to Jupiter to get more stupider. You just said girls go to Mars to get more candy bars. What are you trying to say? Did you just call me big? Whoa.

Did you just call me big? Hey, what gives? Hey, what gives, big guy? What gives, man? Did you just call me big? What gives, big guy? Hey. What gives? Hey, what gives, big guy? What gives, man? You just called me big. What gives, big guy? Hey, what gives? Hey, what gives, big guy?

Okay, moving on. Oh, why I oughta. Why I oughta, man. You guys are terrible students. So, eventually, it's 2017. That was when we finally did Try Not to La to laugh i believe yeah it was first episode was in march of 2017 wow but we did that and then didn't film the second episode or technically it's on the for some reason on our playlist it's listed the first episode is listed as number two i forget

what they did i think ian and anthony did years before. But so the first episode was in March 2017. And we did it. And it was great. It was a great time. And then we didn't do it again until November of that year. Weird. And then we didn't do the third episode until February of the following year. It didn't start to pick up as a series until 2018.

And that's when Smosh Pit started to blow up. Because Try Not to Laugh caught on. And there was an episode. We had Juji Mufu, this bodybuilder. Come on. And to this day, he's arguably one of our best guests ever. That Try Not to Laugh got like 20 million views in a very short amount of time.

It exploded. It was, that was when try not to laugh became this behemoth. It was what our whole channel was based on. And we used to film so much of it. We film, we, we have like a try not to laugh every other week.

Nowadays we used to have it every week. It was every week for a couple of years. So we would, and the way we would film them back then, is we'd film like three in one day. So we would film an episode, and it was just us five. It was Keith, Noah, Olivia, Courtney and I. So it would be us five doing three in a row.

And honestly, there was something about how insane that was that it sometimes worked. But you also watch and you look back and the jokes are not, I don't think. They're inside jokes. There's a lot of inside jokes. I also don't think the jokes are as good, but we're so out of our minds that like,

it's funny for a different reason. I think nowadays the jokes are really, really like, unique and there's more characters, more stuff to try not to laugh nowadays. Back then it was truly like, this is five friends who have no idea what they're doing. Well, three in a row, that's too much.

It makes your brain, well, it's too much, but also it makes your brain go dead, so then weird new stuff comes out of it. You know, I love Try Not To Laugh. Try Not To Laugh's great. It's like therapy. It's really fun. I'm glad it's stuck around because... Trevor?

No, I'm so scared. I get so... A lot of guests refuse to come on Try... It's a hard show to get guests for because they're scared. It's a very... I can imagine. It's very scary. Yeah, every single time I've done it,

I'm hoping I get over it now that I'm here and there are going to be a lot more of them. But genuinely, every time I've been on it, I get so done it I'm hoping I get over it now that I'm here I'm gonna be a lot more of them like I put like genuinely every time I've been on it I'm I get so scared because I'm like I don't know if I'm funny oh the less of a shit you give the better it is you have to care way less and I can imagine though it being a scary thing like I think if you're, I don't know. Like if, I don't know, maybe my, my, my brain is broken from like being pushed on stage so much, but like also I don't plan.

So therefore that pressure is off. Yeah. And I think it's the group of people that you do it with. I think now that we've done it so many times that we have such a safe space. So I think once you do it a lot more, you'll be less scared. Maybe. I don't know you might

be scared every time i'm just gonna come on and go over be like they told me not to care they told me not to plan anything just completely bomb i mean there's some people love to plan like people do really well when they plan me i used to plan things i still sometimes i'll have jokes prepared um i was gonna say the joke that really was the first time I felt like I took off with something at Smosh that I was like, whoa, that this, I don't know what happened there. I had this dumb joke that I had written in my phone and I was like, the character was like a prank caller, but the whole joke was that he was calling pizza places and just letting them know that they're his favorite and they would hang up, but he would call

different pizza places. So it's like, do they even, what, what, this isn't a prank call. It was just this dumb joke. Yeah.

I didn't even know how to end it. So the, the way I ended it was just literally picking up a phone, just being like, hello, uh, hello, nine one one.

I'm naked. Like that was, it was just such a like, whatever. And I do this joke. I come out and I'm just like, you're my favorite pizza place. Like just doing this dumb thing.

For some reason, that's the joke that caught on. And our viewers were quoting it all the time. It became, we made like a shirt. It was the first time I had ever said anything that became merch that we sold. And I remember just being like, what the hell? Like, but it also was around the time when Try Not To Laugh kind of blew up. So that was crazy for me. It's always unplanned.

It's the stuff that you don't realize is going to – it's just the throwaway things that end up catching on. I mean, the latest one, I think, is Courtney's I'm On My Wall. Yeah, I remember that. She just kind of fucking threw that stuff on, just goes out and quotes Super Nanny. Yep. And it's – It's because Chance and I walked out and we were like, oh, it was,

it was a Simon says we walked out and we're like, oh, did you see that neighbor with the fat ass? It's like, yeah, I saw that neighbor with a fat ass. And then Courtney came out with a fat ass and then created this whole character that was like, oh, my,

my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my,

my, And we were like, whoa. Yeah. And now it's legend. And it's like, I think that because it's a throwaway, it's genuine. Like she genuinely thought of it.

She didn't question it. She just did it. There's no way to actually plan a joke that you know is going to be a hit. You have to just kind of keep doing it. And it just happens. That's how I feel about the stupid another banger meme. Like when I made that, that was such a throwaway. Like I just had that picture and i was like i just need something to reply to shane and i made that in like two seconds and then people like are still just spamming it people

still it's not gone to this day just under your tweets it's it's nuts um uh i love that but yeah try not to laugh that was the birth of it, was technically 2018. Wow. So it took a while. We had years of Smosh Pit without Try Not to Laugh where we were just kind of doing whatever, had all these shows, but they're not really recalled too much nowadays. People don't talk about them, which I'm grateful for.

I'm glad our fans love our current stuff. Yeah. But there was one other thing I wanted to say that was really funny about that era which uh was that we brought back smosh pit weekly that that news show yeah but it was hosted by damien and i and we were just kind of doing some dumb bits here and there it was like a teleprompter show but because we had a teleprompter we decided to do a thing that had been done before but i feel like it's really big nowadays which is where Damien and I would write each other's

segments. Oh, yeah. And we would try to just get through it and we'd just write nonsense for each other. It would be called personal news and be like, oh, just did my personal life. Here's what's going on. And then you just write insane stuff. Damien always won because he's so good with just making

insane words and just making you say them. Makes sense, yeah. He said something like, I'm training myself physically, mentally, sexually, Jennifer Connelly, and I'm just like, come on, how am I supposed to fight that? That's so good. And then we had a show that was very popular at the time

called Day Jobs, which is where the squad would go out and we would try out doing jobs. So we went to a donut shop and we learned how to make donuts. We did one where we did a food truck, where we were trying to see how we could do in a food truck. Wow. Lifeguards for a day. It was really fun.

But it was tasking because it would be like one video we'd shoot in a day. Wait, that's so fun. It was really cool We even had one where we went to a daycare and we were like here's how you take care of kids like it was so No, this was very much like there was supervision and every like it we were everyone was safe Like we were we we didn't know what we were doing. My child's with a YouTuber. We were being taught by professionals. But it was really fun.

And I think that's a show that I would love to bring back. That would be so fun. I'd love to be a lifeguard for a day. The stars would be into that. The stars would totally sign that contract. Okay, good. Yeah. I hope we bring it back.

That's just a show that's, it's tasking. Like, there's a lot of stuff that I think our viewers are like, why don't they do this? Why don't they do this? And a lot of it's just that,

like, it's hard. It takes time. It's hard when it's stuff that you have to film outside because, like, you have to get the,

the paperwork to, like, film certain places. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's just tasking to go. So then we had this Defy shutdown and then that,

everything went away for a few months and then we had the Defy shutdown, and then everything went away for a few months. And then we came back, and that's when it was like, all right, we kind of kept doing the same thing, but we got to do it in a fresher way. We kept doing every blank ever on the main channel, as well as sketches and stuff. And then on the Pit channel, though, that's when Eat It or Eat It started, which we talked about that with Garrett about that whole process, how it was made. That was also when we originally brought back where we made Smoshcast, the first initial run of Smoshcast.

I did watch some of those episodes. Yeah, and it's really interesting to see, and we would film it in the Ear Biscuits studio. We'd have to kind of like cover everything up to make it our own. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so it was just a very different vibe, though, and we would kind of like cover everything up to make it our own And so it was just this It was just a very different vibe though And we would kind of cycle out hosts

And it was a struggle We were all learning how to do podcast type of stuff And it was really interesting So cool that Smosh just You guys learned so much In Smosh You learned how to host your own show and do all these things And do a podcast

I know Back then was when Sarah Whittle you learned how to host your own show and do all these things and yeah do a podcast i know awesome and we had a bunch of that back then was when sarah whittle was running uh the pit channel and so we had a lot of shows that were that i look back and i'm like that was so sarah whittle coded uh we had spelling bikini wax where you're doing a spelling bee but if you get it wrong you get like you have you're covered your your waist your body is covered You're inside of a thing and there's a person in there Waxing you and depending on your comfortability on where you want to be waxed some people were like fucking you can get in there Whoa, yeah, I mean me free waxing no getting them wrong on purpose

I would like my thigh like wax thighs, which still hurt like shit. So if you got something wrong, you'd get waxed. My arm hair. Damien and I had Hacking Off. I'm sorry? It was a show called Hacking Off. I'm so sorry. Damien and I would

find life hacks on the internet and we would try to improve them. Why was it called Hacking Off? Because it's funny. Hacking Off. That's why. Why do you think it was called Put It In My Mouth? We love to go sexual.

Put it in my... Ew! This is a Christian channel. Get that junk out of here. Get that. What gives here This is hideous What gives big guy Yeah But we had that show

And then I mean this is starting to get into the territory Amanda Where you got back in Because you know over time We were doing let's do this Reunions Funeral interviewing exes, and Google searches. And a lot of that was on the main channel.

Yeah, I feel like a lot of the things that I did... That was kind of like pit channel on the main channel. Yeah, they're not really happening. That was where it all kind of happened, but... Anymore. Those aren't really happening anymore. Like, Let's Do This, I loved that show. Google searches was so fun. Reunions I was obsessed with.

Funerals. Actually, something I completely forgot to mention throughout all of these years, starting from when I first started, was Smosh Summer Games. Oh, yeah. Big thing. Huge. Our fans love it. It was a big deal. Big legacy behind it.

So I'll go through all of that, starting from the beginning. Something I've never been a part of. You haven't been either. You've never been through all of that starting from the beginning. Something I've never been a part of and you've never been a part of. I would own though. I'm so athletic. Yeah, me too. Okay. But the first Summer Games,

my first ever shoot on Smosh was Summer Games. I signed my contract with Smosh. I joined on my first day. They're like, we're filming in Santa Monica. And I was like, whoa, okay. I go to Santa Monica.

They have this beach house. And they're filming right there on the beach. Hell yeah. All these games and stuff. And because I was so new, I was the ref. They had already assigned the teams. It was team Jiggle Physics, Ian's team. And Banana Ramas was Anthony's team.

And so these were like, that initial Summer Games was still kind of like, it hadn't found its full identity, but it was still big and crazy, and all the cast competed. It was split up into those teams. We were doing insane beach tournaments and competitions and stuff,

like big inflatable obstacle courses. We did a game where it's like soccer, but you're in those giant balloon balls, hamster balls. Oh, I don't like those. All sorts of stuff. Well, don't worry about it. Did you X-nay that? No, we did it. And I got to even participate a little bit in that.

I was exhausted. But Anthony won that. The Bananaramas were victorious. Good for them. It was a good one. It was a lot of fun. And then we did winter games the following winter. Or that winter.

Yeah. We did winter games. That was the Snowfleeks versus the Blue Balls. Who's coming up with these names? Ian and Anthony. The Blue Balls? Blue Balls. Team Blue Balls.

The Stars will not submit to that. So actually, Ian and Anthony didn't compete in the games in that one. They were so busy at the time. I also, I feel like I can say this at this time. I think Anthony was a little like starting to be a little done. He's like, blue balls. I signed off on it. Go. He's like, whatever. I don't want to be doing it. I don't know. We can have Anthony. I think he'd probably

be like, this was, Ian and Anthony were very much, you didn't see them too often back then. You know, they were very busy. Like they were doing, actually, no, they were filming a movie. That was, they were filming their second movie. They were filming Ghost Mates. So they were just actually pulled movie. They were filming Ghost Mates. So they were just actually pulled away.

But I think there's also an element of like, the two of them were going through a lot in relation to their viewpoint on Spock. So Blue Balls won. Of course they did, because they were going through a lot and they never got to finish. Ah! I'm trying to remember that Winter Games. Winter Games was very fun. We all stayed in a lot, and they never got to finish. I'm trying to remember that Winter Games.

Winter Games was very fun. We all stayed in a cabin together up in Big Bear, and it was a great time. That's fun. Yeah. That's fun. But the following year, this next Summer Games was when I think it took a level up, and it was like, whoa, this is huge. And that was Smosh Summer Games Camp. And it was like whoa this is huge and that was smosh summer games camp and it was all

this like summer camp theme and it was a blast uh it was team kumbayas okay that's good versus a good name but it was like yas queen like kumbayas which i which i was like a little like okay i don't know yeah to be honest i can this now, I was never a huge fan of that. I kind of hated that name. Got it. Luckily, I was on team Harshmallows, which, it's kind of whatever. No, I think the names, hot take,

I think all the names of the teams for summer games and winter games, I think they all sucked a little bit. Yeah. Kind of my, that's kind of my hot take. Team Sex by the Lake at Midnight. He was going to bed, turn off the lights, camp time. But that was really, it felt epic.

It felt really fun. We all stayed at this big campsite place, like a summer camp place. And it was really cool. And it got heated. We had a big kickball tournament with a massive kickball and things would get intense. There would be fights.

Like legit fights? Where people are yelling at each other. We're upset. It's full on MTV competition show at times. I'm not kidding. People got mad. Who were the people who were the maddest at each other?

The issue is, and I will throw myself in there, is that Keith and I were the types we would try to piss people off. I'm going to be real honest. We were trash talkers. We did not hold back. That's me, for sure. Oh, yeah. But we trash talked a lot. So who got the most mad?

Everyone got mad. Spill the beans. I also got mad. Spill the beans. I also got mad. I was one of the people yelling in the got mad. Spill the beans. I also got mad. I also got mad. I was one of the people yelling in the kickball. Not kidding. It was a lot of people.

A lot of people were upset. He doesn't want to name names. I'm not going to name names. But anyways, the Harsh Mellows won that. They won that summer games. Congratulations. Flex a little bit more. Yeah.

Okay. Flex a little bit more, big guy. We did winter games again. What gives? That year. Yeah. Okay. Flex a little bit more, big guy. We did Winter Games again. What gives? That year. This was 2016. I think this was the last Winter Games. We only did two of them.

And it was the Spaghetti Yetis versus the Blizzards. I can't. I can't. We need to go. Yeah. We gotta go. Just to have the name game. What sucks is we made a shirt for a team that wasn't a real team called the Snow Rambes.

And we really wanted Snow Rambes to be a team. But I don't get it. Do you know about Harambe? Are you okay? Jesus Christ. No, I don't get it. Okay, have you ever heard of Harambe? No.

You've never heard of Harambe? No. Okay, Amanda, I'm not going to do the thing that I've done before. I'm not going to lie to you. I'm telling you the truth. Harambe was a gorilla at the Cincinnati Zoo. I can't believe I'm telling you this story. I can't believe

you've never heard of Harambe. I'm from Massachusetts. He was at the Cincinnati Zoo. It's okay. No, he was a gorilla at the Cincinnati Zoo. Are you lying? I'm not lying to you. I'm telling you a true story. You lie a lot.

I'm telling you a true story. Okay, okay, okay. All right. Harambe. Harambe was a gorilla at the Cincinnati Zoo. I believe it was the Cincinnati Zoo.

And a boy somehow snuck in and fell into the gorilla pit. Okay. And the kid's in the gorilla pit. Harambe comes up. He's curious. He's looking at the kid. He's just kind of looking at him, whatever.

And they then shot Harambe. It's sad. They shot Harambe and they killed him. Why are we laughing? I'm laughing because this is an insane story that I've processed years ago. I remember the video and everything. I was sad. I was like, damn.

Why would they shoot him? He didn't want to do anything. He was probably talking to him. You're now dealing with the trauma that everyone else dealt with years ago. Why would they kill Harambe? I think they were worried that they were worried about him hurting the kid.

The kid fucking went in his home. Harambe deserved to live. No, I know he did deserve to live. I could have, isn't there a protest that I could go to? Fuck, fuck, fuck. Amanda, Harambe deserved to live, Amanda 2024. Is there a group I could join? I am so sorry that we're throwing you back

into 2017 right now, or or 2016 or whatever this happened. My heart is broken for Harambe. It sucked. Dude, the amount of memes about Harambe. Like, Harambe in heaven. Like, people, you'll still. I want you to pay attention. How old is that kid now?

I will fucking find him. He deserves to pay. You're going to avenge Harambe? Yeah, I am. I am. No, people were very sadge Harambe? Yeah, I am. I am. No, people were very sad about Harambe. He's still, people know about Harambe.

Well, this is going to take me days to process. I know. No, we've had years. I've had, Amanda, this happened eight years ago. Well, I'm going to have nightmares for the rest of my work week, so thank you. So thank you. I'm so sorry to bring the bad news about Harambe. This is awful.

I can't believe this is happening. I was in a fun place, and now I'm not. I can't believe this is happening. This is awful. This is the podcast where we break the breaking news, which is Harambe dying. What was the kid's name? I don't know the name of the kid. I'll find out. Okay, so that happened.

Spaghetti Yetis won that Winter Games. The following year, the next Summer Games was a big one. This was 2017, and this was right after Anthony left. Uh-oh. Anthony leaves. Uh-oh. Anthony leaves around, I want to say it was around spring or early summer of 2017,

and then we go into filming summer games, and we're like, we don't have Anthony, so what do we do? What's our team name? So we just kind of go for it. We didn't have team captains to make it easy, I think,

but it was the, I like, this was Smosh Summer Games Wild West. Western, yeah. Yeah. And this one, we went all out. Like, we were at a

replica Western town in Las Vegas. So cool. And we had this whole place to ourselves. It was crazy. And it was the Randy Bandits versus the Cow Bays.

Okay, Randy Bandits. Randy Bandits is good. Cow Bays. I know, we always did the, like, meme thing with it, which I was like, okay. Which, it's funny at the time. You do it, and you're like, that's awesome. But that, Randy, Summer Games Wild West has an insane promo video. I think I've seen it.

And it has, the budget was crazy, I think, and it was just insane. It just felt huge as we were doing it. Randy Bandits won. That was also the birth of Where's Anthony? Yeah, I remember that. When we had Anthony on here, we were talking about that. And he was not happy about that. That was still early on, I think, before he learned our vibe.

He understands there's no intensity coming in here. He doesn't have to fear. No, he doesn't. I think, before he learned our vibe. Yeah, he was. He understands there's no intensity coming in here. No. He doesn't have to fear. No, he doesn't. I mean, he got slapped a lot. That's really him getting into the vibe. Yeah, no, he's, there's nothing to worry about. He's fine.

I did win an award for Summer Games Wild West. I got most epic moment, and I'm very proud of it. What happened was we were playing Hangman. I get a five-letter word followed by a four-letter word. And these are all Western-themed stuff. And we're sitting there. We haven't even guessed a letter yet. We've just started. And I'm sitting there and I'm looking at this.

I know it's five-letter word, four-letter word. And I'm sitting there and our team is consulting what letter to guess first. And I go, guys, I think it's Wyatt Earp. And they're like, what? And I'm like, I think the thing up there is Wyatt Earp. And they're like do we want to just guess

it right off the bat without letters or anything? And I'm like, let's do it. And we do it and we guess Wyatt Earp and it was correct. And I'm like, that was awesome! I felt so cool. And I'm like, that was awesome. I felt so cool. And who dunked? I forget.

What? I forget. I don't care about the punishment. I'm not looking for that. So you didn't care about Harambe? I cared about Harambe. Okay. You clearly didn't care about Harambe.

My night is going to be on the web. I am going to surf the web. You're about to look up all. Amanda, you have so many Harambe memes to catch up on. You have eight years worth of Harambe memes. I am going to surf the web. That Harambe could have had a family. The video is crazy.

It's so sad. I will not. It's very sad. It's genuinely sad. Yeah. All right, moving on. So we didn't do winter games that year. I don't think we found like a sponsor or something. The budget just didn't work. Okay, so this. So we didn't do winter games that year. I don't think we found a sponsor or something.

The budget just didn't work. Okay, so this is what we sponsored. So usually, usually that's kind of what it hinged upon. Because it was expensive. We were doing a bunch of games. We'd be on location. Following year, we didn't get a sponsor, which is why it was called Smosh Summer Games.

We blew it. And it was all balloon theme. The names for these are actually pretty good. Inflatables, like bowls, like inflatables. That one's weak, but the other one is Balloonatics. And Balloonatics is good. That's clever. I want to get picked up by our limo now.

This is not working out. The stars need to talk for a second. That one, we filmed all of it in a day or two at a park, and it was very low-key compared to the rest. But some of the tournaments were fun. It was all these big inflatable obstacle course stuff. But it was overall kind of one that gets forgotten a little bit. The Balloonatics won.

It was crazy. Of course they did. But then. It was stacked that year. Yeah, stacked. But then the last Summer Games was in 2019. And that was Summer Games Apocalypse. Which is kind of funny that we did Smosh Summer Games Apocalypse before the pandemic happened.

Because it really did feel like the apocalypse. But it was the Toxicity versus the Mushroom Clout. I think they were the worst names that we ever had. Yikes. I think they were. I think they were. Looking back, I'm like, okay, we shouldn't have done it around meme types of words or like, you know, slang.

We should have just really stuck to like, because Randy Bandits sticks out. Yeah. Randy Bandits sticks out. Yeah. Randy Bandits is great. Yeah. I'm curious, down below, comment what your favorite team name of all Summer and Winter Games was.

Yeah. Because I'm curious what people think. Because I think, I think most people were kind of weak. Yeah. But Summer Games Apocalypse was the last time we did it. We filmed it out in the middle of a desert.

It was hot as hell. Oh my God. And, but it was hot as hell oh my god and um but it was really fun it was all apocalypse themed we had a great time um but but that was last one uh let's see toxicity one um of course and uh i did get i did get voted least valuable player i sucked ass oh wow your heart wasn't in it. Yeah. We had a couple things that kind of continued between each one. The biggest one, though, we'd have a big belly flop competition. And it was who could perform the best belly flop.

And you're legitimately trying to mess yourself up. And it was really fun. I know. And you have to give a speech beforehand. And so you get judged by how epic your like speech was and then your flop and the style and the the impact it was very fun um a lot of summer games was truly like some of my favorite memories here at smosh that is really fun do you ever did you ever do that as a kid when you'd like dive in the pool and your mom would have to vote one out of

ten you guys know that i had a lot of diving, synchronized swimming competitions in my mind and in my backyard. Wow, that's awesome. Pretty sick, so I guess I'm geared up for this. Yeah, you're ready for belly fat competition. So tell me more. Are we going to be in this? Well, I don't know.

I think summer games is something that people have wanted us to do for a long time. I think people need to just keep clamoring for us to do it. It would be a big... It's a big challenge. Are we doing it? I want it. I don't know. I don't have it in my mind.

I want it. I want it. So I want to compete. I'm so competitive. Okay. Me too. Today, Smosh Summer Games, we find out today that we're doing it. You have to draft a team.

Who's your first draft pick? Number one. First round number one draft pick. Okay, I love this. Do we know the location in our minds? No, you know nothing. All you know is you've got to put together a team. Love it.

Both of you are captains. We're both captains. It would be dependent, too, on what the theme of the games is. I don't know. There's a bunch that we haven't done. We haven't done Safari, Tropical. So we can't choose each other right now. Medieval.

No, no. Out of this three, but here's the thing, and I have this edge. Summer Games isn't just about physical abilities. You're going to be playing video games. You're going to be doing quizzes. There's trivia involved. I know my first.

Who are you picking first? Spencer. What's your reasoning for Spencer? Because I trust Spencer. I feel like Spencer and I get each other. And I feel like he's literally down and also so supportive. And I feel like he's good with mind games, games, and the physical part I could take care of. Interesting.

Okay. Trevor, who do you think you're taking? You know, it's tough. I feel like I don't have a full grasp of everyone's abilities yet. But I'm thinking off the dome, I'm thinking Marcus. Marcus? We're getting outside of the realm of the cast. I said anyone.

Okay, my fault. Marcus, look, real talk, we can't let Marcus compete. He'd be too good. He'd be too good, right? Marcus is, I think, the most athletic person in this building. Okay, cast, cast, Angela. I don't think she's good at anything, but I think that she has so much willpower to win. She is going to work harder.

I think, actually, Angela would crush. A lot of it is commitment level. Also, Angela's really good at coming up with a plan and executing the plan. I think actually Angela would crush. A lot of it is commitment level. Like who would just go for it? Also, Angela's really good at coming up with a plan and executing the plan. That was mean. I didn't mean it like that. That's what's interesting is so much of our cast now wasn't around for last summer games. Yeah.

You know someone I might pick is Chance. I think Chance is – because you've got to find someone who's well-rounded. I agree. Where it's like they're going to be good at all the things. Because, like, you know, some of us, really good at trivia, video games and stuff, but when it comes to physical things,

sometimes we're not as coordinated or whatever. Someone who I actually think, I look back on, I'm like, they were, they never were bad. They were good at kind of every single thing, was Courtney. Courtney was always were good at every single thing was Courtney. Courtney was always valuable. She always brought in something.

There was a lot of people. Everyone was good at something different. I'm so curious out of our newer people like Tommy, Spencer, of people who would be in another one. Angela Chance, Arasha. Oh, Arasha.

I'm curious about Arasha. I think Arasha will crush at a lot of mind games. Mind games. And that's huge. And you would be picking, not everyone competes in every single game. You sometimes choose one person out of your team to compete in a thing.

Sounds like Survivor. It's very much like Survivor. Let's be realistic. The three of us are top three. For anyone drafting the three of us, I mean, come on. Yeah. We can't pick ourselves, but if we could. No, but if we could, I would definitely pick myself.

Easy. I don't know. It's hard to pick team names because we don't have a theme. He didn't really agree with us when we just said that. No, yeah, yeah. He didn't really agree with us. Hey, what gives? Hey, what gives, big guy?

No. No. All right. Stop it. Team name? Well, it's not going to be anything that has to do with a penis, okay? So you think, okay, yeah. Team Dick and Balls.

Hard on me? Get off. What? What if we just call our team the Harambes? Hey, I had moved on for a moment. You brought it back. Now I have to reprocess it, man. And now I have to literally reprocess it.

Do you remember that movie with Charlize Theron and the big gorilla? The Great Joe or something? Italian Job? Oh, Mighty Joe. No, it's not Italian Job. It's definitely the Mighty. Yeah. Yeah.

That's all. That was basically what Harambe was. Well, that's fucking awful. Cause that gorilla was incredible. Yeah. Okay. So I guess I'll,

yeah. Are you calling yours Harambe? No. We're throwing Shane off. We're just going to call it Snow Rambes, even if it's summer games. But guys, you know,

let us know in the comments what your favorite team name from all the previous summer and winter games are. Before we wrap up here, I was curious, Trevor, do you have any interesting mythical lore? Well, can I give my team name first? Because I'm pretty proud. Give us that. Yes, give it. Give us that. My team name, Christian Moms Against Furries. Oh, good.

That's good. That would be my team. You know what? Maybe the next Summer Games we just do a whole Christian theme. Yeah. It's just good Christian fun. Oh, I love that. Our fans will love that.

Neil, eat cray. Oh, top. That was awesome. What the hell? Watch out, Julia Roberts. I'm coming for your career. Oh, God. Mythical lore. watch out julia roberts i'm coming for your career oh god um um mythical lore i don't know if this is lore but god ever since this has happened is so annoying how many like how many

times people are like trevor from smosh oh there's trevor from smosh ret and link i'm going in there like so how's smosh what are they saying about us over there i'm like we're not just over there talking about you so annoying i'm like i don't let just over there talking about you. So annoying. I'm like, I don't know. Let's talk about Rhett and Link a little bit. That's funny. That's funny. Does Rhett not have a Western accent? I thought he did, and then

I watched that video, and I was like, does he not have one? It's so subtle. They're from South Carolina. It's very subtle. I do have lore. I actually just did a live stream where I had to get, was like we kind of did the newlywed game, but we were guessing facts about Rhett and Link. Rhett is from a town called in Georgia. He was like born in like Macron, Georgia or something. I don't know.

Okay. Yeah. I don't know other facts they met when they were in first grade. I didn't know that. I didn't know a lot of things about that. It was pretty bad. Interesting. Yeah.

What about Trevor's specific lore? Like what was your first shoot? What was your very first day? Oh, my very first day, it was Mythical Kitchen and Josh was trying to break the world record for the most baby food eaten in a minute. That was literally my first day. Yeah, he did.

And I remember like he, because the the whole thing was they try a bunch of different strategies. I was up doing HR paperwork up in the loft up there. They'd made a beer bong for baby food. My first day, I'm sitting there doing paperwork while Josh is directly below me beer bonging pounds of baby food. I don't

know what is wrong with the girl. I wonder what it's like to work at a normal job. Yeah. That's not what we... It's probably more fucked up. You're probably right. It's probably like, hey, Carol. I bet you all the comments are going to be like...

I murdered somebody last night. My wife. Every comment is going to be like, trust me, our job is worse. My wife got murdered last night. You got those files? Like, trust me, our job is worse. My wife got murdered last night. You got those files? Like, trust me. I am so glad. We're fine.

I'm very grateful for it. One of the best, one of the biggest running jokes about me is that in 2020, during our Zoom holiday party, I remember just sitting there and being like, I can't do a zoom holiday party this is gonna be the worst thing ever and so i started just drinking i was drinking before it started and then i was drinking during it because i was like surely like you know i'm just gonna sit here and experience this they got a magician to do a you know a performance over the zoom call which

he was great he was awesome yeah but you don't know if he's really doing magic. But the problem was, is the year before Christmas, I went out to dinner after the last year's holiday party. I went out with Josh and the kitchen team and went to Red Lobster and I got food poisoning. And I was on a flight the next day to Idaho. So I had food poisoning while I was on this plane. And then they started joking like, oh, you pooped your pants on a plane. So then in the Zoom holiday party, Josh made a joke about me pooping my pants on the plane. And I decided to go into a story. And I talked for probably, I don't remember how long it was. But it was far longer than any one person should have talked in a Zoom meeting.

Because you don't have multiple conversations. It's just me talking. It's just one person at a time. To everyone at the company telling the entire story of being like, no, here's what happened. I went to Red Lobster. I ate scallops. I got food poisoning.

I was on the plane. I felt terrible. And I probably went on for like 15, 20 minutes. That's awesome. I swear to God. And I've been getting crap for it ever since. And that's why you're like, I got to go over to Smosh. They hate me.

In the 2000th episode of the show, they made a joke about it. That's awesome. Yeah. Wow, that's your legacy, dude. That's my legacy, yeah. I'm just the guy that tells stories for too long. Did you poop on the plane? No.

I didn't poop on the plane. Don't tell us the story. I almost threw up. So here's what happened. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. We're done. We're done. We're done.

All right. Well, if you're listening, now you know a good little brief history about Smosh Pit. A little bit about this channel. And now you know all the history of Smosh Summer Games, too. There's a lot more specifics. Go back and watch them. And comment below if you want us to do Summer Games. Yeah, man.

And head over to Twitter if you want to see some of my Smosh Pits. Am I right? Oh, God. Arm pit content. Don't do that. R.I.P. Harambe. I, man. And head over to Twitter if you want to see some of my Smosh pits. Am I right? Don't do that. R.I.P. Harambe. I was going to say that. I was going to say that. What gives? What gives, big guy?

What gives, big guy? That's what I say about Harambe. What gives? We'll see you next week. Thanks for having me. Bye. Bye. Harambe.

So you... That is so fucking sad. You've never heard of Dicks Out for Harambe?
