and today I am joined by the games team, Alex and Spencer. Thank you for being here. Thank you for having us. Yeah, seriously. Yeah, Amanda's out for a little bit, so we're just vibing today. Yeah, where is she? She's in Massachusetts? Yeah, she's somewhere. I don't care. She's gone. No, we were at the airport

because we just came back from Gen Con. Yesterday. Late last night. I don't even know how it got started. 12 hours ago we got home. But she started sending me like every picture from her trip to Maine, I guess. And it was the most mom-coded shit of all time. And I was like kind of reacting to each one like,

whoa, awesome! But it was so similar to when my mom, and then my mom texted me a picture because my mom was in New York this morning. And I was like, of reacting to each one like, whoa, awesome. But it was so similar to like when my mom. And then my mom texted me a picture when I was in New York this morning. And I was like, this is just like Amanda. Yeah. My mom will send photos of just like a landscape. It'll be like the sun is setting and she'll send a photo to our big family group chat. That's the worst photo you've ever seen.

Did you even like think about the subject? I make sure to type that out and be like mom you should have thought this through I send a screenshot back with like I drew lines

and I was like you should clean up like over here I think you can touch up the contrast a bit I'm gonna start doing really crappy fan art of all the photos

my mom sent to the kids group chat I make sure I'm like mom can you send those to Brennan for color can you edit those please my sister sends a video of her girlfriend playing softball. I'm like, Mom, can you send those to Brennan for color? Can you edit those, please? My sister sends a video of her girlfriend playing softball.

I'm like, can we fix the sound? It sounds really bad. So, yeah, you guys were at Gen Con. Board game convention. Yeah, we did knee deep. In board games. In board games, of course. And women.

And women. No, that was possibly my favorite thing. It was in the live stream and it was where we were playing Mario or something. It was a don't win slash win live stream charity event. And we kind of explained what it was to

Angela and she was like, oh, so you guys must be getting laid left and right there. I was like, I cannot emphasize how many board games we played, how much sex we were not having. But the whole time I was trying to think of, like, I was trying to workshop, like, the perfect joke, like the anti-sex beds at Gen Con.

Oh, my God, I forgot about that. Do you remember the anti-sex beds at the last? Remember they were like the beds that were so fragile, if you were to, like, fuck in them, it would collapse. Because I guess we're not allowed to say that were so fragile if you were to like fuck in them it would collapse. Because I guess we're not allowed to say that word. Oh, you're right. Leap that. At the O Games. They weren't owing. In Paris.

They were not owing at the O Games. See, I've always heard that at the I've always heard that at the O Village that tons of sex I took her to O Village. I took her to O-Village. I took her to O-Town. Hey, man, I just got back from O-Town. They said they didn't know you.

My dad loved O-Town music growing up. It was a Mo-Town joke. Yeah, you're not allowed to... Freak it. Freak it at O-Town. It was cardboard beds. Yeah. I think if someone put me in a room and was like, hey, here's a bed. You can't have sex on it. Freak it at O-Town. Cardboard beds. Yeah. I think if someone put me in a room and was like,

hey, here's a bed, you can't have sex on it. Challenge pit. Yeah, like challenge pit. Challenge pit, we have sex in the sex beds. I feel like the more you kind of try and discourage something, the more people are going to be like, well, I'm going to... Well, it's like the teacher in class being like, all right, be quiet. Yeah. I'm going to have sex in the beds.

Yeah. God. Listen, I'm going to have sex in the beds. Yeah. God. Listen, I'm going to. I have to. Now that you've told me I can't. Teacher. I simply have. But that wasn't part of the news of this.

I guess they. I did see like a TikTok of someone jumping on a, it was like the gymnastics team or something. And they were like some. They're the ones who could fuck in the anti-sex bed. Christ no, but they were jumping on they kept the pole guy. Yeah Oh the pole ball guy destroyed the bed with his I think we're gonna say that cuz I think that's gonna be a topic for Another time he talked about that last yeah, they talked about penis pole. We had our games episode the O games But anyways, so Gen Con. Oh, yeah. Yeah, no sex no sex GG come but I did as we were driving in as I was driving and I thought of I James. But anyways, so Gen Con. Oh, yeah. Yeah, no sex, bro. No sex. G, G Con.

But I did, as we were driving in, as I was driving in, I thought of, when we first got to the hotel, which is a really cool hotel, the first thing we noticed was, like, the shower, it had one of those kind of, like, it just had, like, a clear, like, an opaque door. It's, like, translucent. Yeah, so, like, if someone's, like, in the shower, and you're just, like, out in, like, where the beds are. Yeah.

So Spencer steps in the shower while I'm lying in bed, and I can see his full Silhouette I well I know I said I got it, but I tested I was like we're first of all we're gonna test this yeah, and we're like we may have a problem like this I've noticed that with a lot of hotels a lot of hotels the bathroom doors are Basically see-through and a lot of them don't lock or they ours was not even a door it was just a it was a sliding yes or my theory because i've been to several hotels where that's the case my theory is that people might like die in bathrooms a lot or like this serious medical medical emergency might happen so that they can go in and they can be like there's someone in the

bathroom and they're on the floor we can see that that's my theory the shower's pretty slippery it was yeah um but uh but then what we were uh we found we found figured out there's a curtain but i mean i was also also thinking like what scenario would you ever want to like what would it be like it would never be erotic to see someone shower i'd be slobbering like and staring at it. Like, if I'm showering, like, there is nothing, like, less erotic than, like, someone just, like, showering. I'm like, I'm getting in the grooves, bro. I'm cleaning.

I've got a big brush. Yeah. You don't want to see it. Yeah, no, it's like, and that's like, you know, like, in movies, when, like, people are getting in the shower, they're like, blah, blah, blah. It's like, no, I'm, like, I'm getting my snot out. I'm spitting.

Yeah. Hawk tua. I'm hawk tua. No, the idea of those types of hotels make me very uncomfortable. Yeah. Because if I'm in the bathroom, if I'm showering, whatever, I want full privacy. No, absolutely. I have one time I went to a Korean spa where, you know, it's like you're kind of out in the open.

Did you go to a Wii spa? I went to a Wii spa. Nice. This was years ago. But, you know, you have to shower before you go get into the, like, pools or whatever. And just showering when other people are around, I was so uncomfortable. Yeah. I was like, this sucks.

I hate this. I've never really had to do that. But Wii spa has been on my list, but everyone's always like, look out, you gotta get naked. I'm like, honestly, the older I get, I'm like, bro, if you look, that's on you. That sucks. No, the old dudes at Wii Spa

did not give a shit. I really admired that. The regulars. I was like, I want to learn from this. The season pass holders. I want to be like, the season pass holders. I want to be like that. The season pass holders. And it's funny because I literally almost know nothing about Wii Spa. People go there to relax and you have to get fully naked. Yeah.

Yeah, you did have to be fully naked. In the main area or in the beginning area where it's split up by sex. But then later on, you get a shirt and some shorts. And then you're in this gigantic area where everyone's at. Is it like a Roman bathhouse? Yeah, it has those vibes. There's salt rooms where you can lay on salt.

Would you go to the Gen Con spa? I would go to the Gen Con spa. The Gen Con spa where you play board games? I will say this was kind of the first con. I've always heard of people, it's like, oh, someone teach them how to use deodorant. There were a few times when I did get whiffs of like... No, it was a very clean experience.

No, I'm saying this was kind of the first kind of experience where I did smell a couple. Oh, funny. I don't think I did. I have such a terrible sense of smell that I never notice BO, and I go to the gym all the time, and I don't even Notice there and then occasionally

Like once in a blue moon Someone will walk past and it's it's like a physical force. Yeah hits me and I'm like damn. That's crazy No, I really you know, this is one of my million excuses to never work out. I cannot stand the smell of the gym It's it's yeah, it to never work out. I cannot stand the smell of the gym. It's, it's, yeah, it can be rough. You can work out elsewhere,

outside. Yeah, no, that's true. It depends on the gym. Some, some are bad, some are okay.

Yeah. There was a gym I worked out at once that was, uh, like in the basement level. Mm-hmm. And that was horrendous, because it's just like,

dense. Mm-hmm. That's how my, like, apartment, we have like a little gym, uh, and yeah, that's, that's the, it takes me, it's like dense. That's how my apartment, we have a little gym. It's almost a nostalgic smell that takes me back to middle school. We had to use the weight room, and I'm just like, I can't do it, man.

Yeah, rough. I'm allergic to working out. That's okay. We're talking about video games today. Yeah, so thank God. Or board games. Board games, video games, all the board games we're at the board AF table many games have been played

indeed this is a good table this is a great table uniquely geek I feel like we don't utilize a lot of layers of it the one thing we've never done is there is a full on it is a whiteboard there is a full on, like,

There's a whiteboard. Yeah, there's a whiteboard. In this table. We've yet to find it. We have to unlock it. It is DLC. So I was sitting here after and I was kind of playing like this and then I summoned, I was gonna try and do like a Hellraiser joke where it's like, you know,

if you're playing with the table enough, like you're playing with the lament, yeah. I was like, you know, then it opens up and like a newraiser joke where it's like, you know, if you're playing with the table enough, like you're playing with the lament, yeah. I was like, you know, then it opens up and like a new board game emerges, but. Nice. You know, I had to talk my way through that joke instead of just saying it. No, that was cool. That was clever. Thank you. Very cool. Sometimes, you know, you gotta see how the

the, what's the expression? How the cookie's made? Dude! Dude, I'm losing it. I'm losing it. Here's the thing. You're talking your way through the jokes, through the metaphors. If I don losing the jokes through the metaphor if I don't stop talking I'll die it's like what did you want to hear from us well just just ask us something yeah all right we were at you okay so Gen Con was cool we got

that out of the way yeah dude no Gen con was great this was this was we went this is our second year at gen con um very cool had a lot of really cool people yeah it was you who mentioned it though about how smosh games is one of the biggest like board game channels on youtube we're not trying to toot our own horns but but like if you look at raw numbers, raw data, like, I think... I think you'd be hard pressed to find a bigger board... Like, channel that mostly does board games, and it's funny

because, you know, before I really started here, I didn't fuck with board games. That's hilarious. I've mentioned it before. I've hardly played much board games in my personal life. Y'all are crazy. I just... Thank God I showed up. This is the thing, though. I love board games.

I did play some when I was a kid. I recently bought my favorite board game as when I was a kid. Bought it, Hero Quest. Oh, that's right. Yeah, you were telling us. We saw them at... It's this insane board game that I have at home,

and I'm like, I need to get a group together to play this. I am not. If Courtney and I can just play Hero Quest. We have been playing Quacks, though. And Quacks is unbelievable. Made me really happy that you bought it, because that's the kind of game that you look at it, and you're like, I'm never going to play this. You really have to be kind of forced to play it to understand it's the parallel play of it all. It's a really

special game. That's what I like most is the parallel play aspect. So your family growing up was not a board game family? No. We would do war with cards. That's really boring. That sucks, dude. I used to play with my sister and we'd just be like, this is

awful. It'll never end. Yeah, yeah. And then I never played Monopoly. I never played any of that shit. And then we had one where you pass the pig. You roll these pigs. Dude, yeah, we had that. That shit was great.

What? We should play that here. There's two little plastic pigs, and you roll them, and depending on how they land, that's how many points you get. So if it's like, I think the special one, it was snout front feet.

That was like the highest scoring. Let's play roll the pig. That was literally the entire game. It's called pass the pig, bro. Yeah. You pass them. But then another gateway one was Munchkin, which I've made everyone play.

But then the other one was Farkle. We have not played Farkle on the channel. Shout out to all my Farklers at home. Yeah. Mother Farkles. Mother Farkles. And then... Meet the Farkle. We have not played Farkle on the channel. Shout out to all my Farklers at home. Mother Farkles. Mother Farkles. Meet the Farkles. Yeah, Farkle. I got to make everyone play Farkle at one point.

And Pass the Pig. Pass the Pig wasn't a jet con. Pass the Pig, Farkle. I think we do like a childhood games. Pass the Pig sounds like a chosen game. Yeah. So. So.

That's cool. We just couldn game. Yeah, so. So. That's cool. We just couldn't think of anything Chosen to say. So. That's where that ends. Thank you. It was so sick. We got to show you our Chosen shirts that we got at Gen Con. Dude, they're so sick.

Yeah, so it was the Chosen design, but it's with three dragons. Or a hydra head. I sometimes, controversial thought, I sometimes think think about like should should I expand the chosen? Wardrobe some other gas we open like what's his renter fit? Yeah, it's it's obviously the Kennedy jacket Yeah, definitely I was saying beforehand too about how I wish magic the gathering was something we could play on the channel and I haven't Played much magic the gathering but we'd be cool if there was more card games. We're actively, because everyone behind camera right now, they're fucking. Every single person.

You guys get together. They're slobbering back there. We play Magic a lot. I play with my other, I play a lot of fucking Magic. And I think, I've been playing consistently for four years now. I love it. I play Commander specifically, and Sealed, but I don't really fuck with anything else.

It was always like, oh, I can meet some friends playing. I'm not going to meet any really cool people off of this or anything, but this year at Gen Con... I'm not going to meet any cool people. I'm not going to meet any... It's just a bunch of fucking nerds. I don't know. But this year at Gen Con, we spoke to the Magic team.

They gave me a birthday present. Yeah. That was huge. That was my favorite bit is anytime we were with anyone at the booth and I'd be like, and it's his birthday. It kind of only worked on Magic. And they gave me, they took out a bunch of shit and just gave it to me. It was like a bunch of packs, a bunch of starter decks.

And yeah, so I was stoked. I don't play Magic the Gathering. I don't play any card games. But I do miss, because when I was a kid, I was really into Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh. Yeah. I miss, like, getting booster packs. The satisfaction I would get from opening up a booster pack of anything. I know you could get so into Magic.

I think you could. I think I've played, I have played some. Okay. No, like, I think Commander specifically is what really got me into it. Because it's like, the way it works is you have one card. And your whole deck kind of wraps around that one card. And then every other card in the deck is a different card. So you have a hundred cards with different names.

So you're not putting a bunch of the same stuff inside. And so you get to have your pet card. You can play it whenever you want. You don't have to shuffle it in or anything. See, that's what I couldn't believe is that you have a hundred fucking cards and like, do you like all of them? I do.

Yeah. That's crazy. Brennan's over there shaking his head. He's just like, we all know our 100 cards. We fucking know decks. Yeah. And then you kind of just figure out like,

okay, kind of right now I would need that one card and I'll just try and draw as many cards I can to get to that other one and blah, blah, blah. It's great. But I met a bunch of designers, like game designers at Gen Con and a lot of them also

really fucked with Magic. It seemed like the game designers favorite game yeah interesting and then I get in the Uber to go home and I'm talking to him and I'm like oh yeah I was at the board game I was at Gen Con he's like oh I know Gen Con I used to do a Catan podcast that's so funny

and you weren't at Gen Con? And then I was like, okay, what other games do you play? He's like, oh, well, I actually don't play any other board games. I play Magic. And I was like, what the hell is going on here? That's insane. And so, yeah, we follow each other on Instagram. Wait, wait.

The funny thing is you got to hang out with the creator Bopit at Gen Con. I did, yeah. Bopit? Yeah, we got drinks together. Bopit. I don't know Bopit. What the fuck are you talking about? It's right there, bro. Oh, we got drinks together. Bop It. I don't know Bop It. What the fuck are you talking about? It's right there, bro.

Oh, oh, oh, oh. I thought you were saying a creator's name, like his name was Bop It. John Bop It. You thought, yeah. Like a YouTube handle or something. Oh, okay. That makes sense. You're saying you met like.

Yeah. I met John Bop It, quite frankly. I forget his name, but. He was really cool. Wow, what a convenient name to have. But I also met the guy that made Love is Blind. Oh, the game? The board game, yeah.

Not the original one, but we played the Love is Blind board game on the channel. It's kind of one of my favorite videos that we've done. And we met with Spin Master, and kind of one of their big news for us was like, hey, we redesigned the game. Oh, shit. So now it's, remember how it was like, oh, you're in the pods, and you're all answering questions, and so everyone can see what everyone's answers are.

So now it's hidden identity. So you were secretly answering all the questions as like a specific color, I think, and then you're like, okay, I am really fucking with blue. So I'm going to ask, okay, okay, I am really fucking with blue, so I'm gonna ask okay blue I'm going to propose and then the blue player will reveal them. I love that that actually makes sense Yes, cuz now you don't know we'll be playing it. We absolutely will but I met the guy who redesigned it Okay, who's who his whole job was like okay?

I have this like really clunky mess of a game so it's like it was pretty clunky originally I still really liked it. The moments you created, I mean, some of those are really iconic moments. No, seriously. Love is Blind, it's like a fan favorite. That might be, people might argue that's the best video we've had in recent years.

Yeah, no. I mean, those moments were huge. Getting you guys up in front of this table and proposing, I think that was what made it really fun was we were kind of getting out. And in that first one, Courtney proposes to me and I declined it because I knew. No, that was.

I'm not kidding. Part of the reason I declined it is because I knew what was going to be happening soon. And I was like, this is going to be extra funny in hindsight. When Courtney did it, I was like, balls. I could not believe she fucking did that. I couldn't believe she did it. And then you said no, and that was great. I was like, it's gonna be

so fucking funny to say no. Wait, I didn't realize. Three glasses. Yeah, three glasses. I was thinking about that earlier when we were talking. Yeah, I... Welcome. Turns out I need them. Dude. Not desperately. I'm nearsighted, so, I mean, it doesn't make a difference close up.

But far away? Now I can read stuff far away. Read your predictions from this year. I will. Read the board. Shane's predictions. I will shake Markiplier's hand. Smosh will be on Good Morning America, which happened.

Yeah, we will talk about that. Yeah, we got to check that out. We talked about that a couple weeks ago. Daniel Sharkey, shout out. Thank you. That was awesome. Thank you, Zeus. What a day.

I remember that day. Thank you, Zeus. What a day. I remember that day. Thank you, Zeus, for striking him with lightning so that he can go on Good Morning America. He's okay. I cannot think of a more badass flight. Did we ask him for the footage? Oh, we need to. Was he filming? Good Morning America.

Was he filming? there's there's there's security there's security footage of him on the ground it's like the news is like okay and here he is mowing the lawn and then it hard cuts he's on the ground on the ground and it's coming it's an incredible video yeah no he was he was fully struck by lightning and unconscious. And they cut it out of the news, but I know that him and his family have it. Yeah. The whole uncut. Anyways, I can clearly read all those predictions on the other side of the list.

Now, which ones have been checked off yet, bud? So we checked off. We're already at August. We checked off Good Morning America. We checked off some others. I forget. They're also blocked, the rest of that list. But checked off some others. I forget. They're also blocked, the rest of that list. But we've had some things come true.

See, my glasses, I can see through that. Okay, that's cool. My glasses are showing me the ones that you're going to check off later on. What are your guys' prescriptions? I don't fucking know. I don't know. I don't know. I know my eyes are different.

Yeah, mine were slightly different. Oh, should we switch? Oh, yeah. Let's't know. I don't know. I know one of my eyes are different. Yeah, mine were slightly different Oh, should we switch? Oh, yeah, let's see who's got the strongest prescription who looks cuter. All right so Different colors too. This is so cool. Yeah. Oh, I'm sorry. I just rubbed on them. Okay, I rub my wife This isn't really changing anything. This is actually, this is crazy. Who am I wearing? You? You're wearing me. Tonight I'm wearing Spencer. I'm now wearing Alex's glasses. It really didn't change anything.

Yours is changing a lot of shit for me. This is that you're Spencer. Oh, I'm Spencer. So let's, now let's, well, no, you two, yeah, let's go around one more time. Right. Because then I think this will be everyone wearing everyone's. Okay. Dude, no Amanda, but clean this shit, bro.

Amanda, Amanda. Can I get a glasses wipe, please? Amanda, every time. I'm struggling with this one. Yeah, this was a little easier to see than those. But yeah, Spencer has a stronger prescription than I do. Really? I think so, yeah. That's crazy.

My prescription isn't that, like, strong. As you can see. Yeah, everything's definitely a lot harder to read now with this. Not crazy, but it's definitely everything. Guys, I'm going to toot my own horn. I really like my glasses. Y'all both look great in these. Guys, fuck, marry, kill.

Spencer and Alex. Fuck, marry, kill our glasses. Oh. Fuck, marry, kill are glasses. Oh, yeah, these are a little dirty. No, but that's not my favorite bit, but Amanda will come up, and Amanda's like a close talker, and Amanda will be like, your glasses are filthy. As she's breathing on them? Yeah.

She's rubbing on them. Your glasses are filthy. Oh, my God. I miss her. God. I miss her. Okay. Sorry for being vulnerable. Weird man. I miss Amanda.

She's such a warm presence. It is strange. It is. I will say I was definitely nervous because we're recording this episode and another episode today. It's definitely like, oh shit. She is so good at keeping a conversation going that I realize I rely on it

very heavily. And I'm trying to win for the host. Now we're all sitting here like, yeah man. Anyways. Cool. So I saw Alex's penis. I saw that clip going around where I said that I was like, oh you and I are sleeping in separate beds tonight.

Saw someone clip that. Also we, oh, you and I are sleeping in separate beds tonight. Oh, yeah. I saw someone clip that. Well, also, we did this show, and when I got home, I saw this compilation because I really had to pee the whole time on the thing. Oh, my God. And I literally thought I was going to piss my pants on this thing. We did a show. We did a show for it. Oh, yeah. I saw some clips from that.

Yeah. A really fun show. That sucks when you have to pee really bad during a live event. Yeah. And I was back there. I was undoing my pants and stuff. Oof. That's rough, dude. I was just letting him.

No, he made the ask, can I just get up now and go? Wow. I was seriously. And did they tell you no? They were like, ha, ha, ha. I don't know if they understood. They didn't take it seriously. They did not take it seriously at all.

But I mean, that's something I wonder, you know, like in musical artists and forgive me if I brought this up on the podcast before, cause this is just something I think about a lot. I'm like, what if you're like in a band and you're like playing like a big show, like a stadium show? What if you really have to poop? I think they probably,

depending on how metal you are, you'd just be like, Hey guys, depending on how metal you are, I gotta go take a shit. So I'll be back. But like, I'm like,

I think the adrenaline is probably gonna... I think that's why they do so many drugs so they don't ever have to. Oh, I know like a lot of drugs constipate you. Yeah, I've heard about that. There we go. I was shocked because I'm not a drug user. I was shocked when someone told me like,

yeah, with heroin, like you take a shit like once a month and it's insane Arasha just told that story about a guy that she knew who took a shit once a week and it was bad but he like kind of never knew it when it was gonna hit yeah she said there was shit on the wall and that's when I kind of stopped believing her

yeah I don't know what to believe when Arasha no that was there's a really funny moment in the uh was it would you rather and the card is like would you rather always have to pee when Arash is... No, that was... There's a really funny moment in the... Was it Would You Rather? Yeah. And the card is like, would you rather always have to pee or always feel the need to pee or always feel the need

to pee on someone? And Alex and I... And Alex and I are in the back and we're like, that is not a real card. Show us the fucking card. You cannot keep doing this shit. And she flipped over

and it was a real card. We're like, okay. That's the problem is Arash sometimes knows when something doesn't sound believable and she leans into that. Yeah. She really did. And she flipped over and it was a real car. We're like, okay. That's the problem is Arasha sometimes knows when something doesn't sound believable and she leans into that. Yeah. She really did.

And she'll deliver things with that straight face. And you're just like, come on, stop. Before we talk further, I realize, Alex, this is like the first time you've been on camera

like talking to this extent. I think so, yeah. Yeah, you haven't been on. I can't believe you guys let me. I know. Because you haven't been in many games videos. You're always behind. No, I'm always. But people hear you. Yeah, you haven't been on... I can't believe you guys let me. I know, because you haven't been in many games videos. You're always behind, but people hear you.

Yeah. Similar to Kiana and Emily. I just didn't recognize a lot of Gen Con. I would say most of the people who came up... Knew both of us. Knew both of us. That's crazy. We also, yeah, we ran into a lot of, like, more fans this year than last year.

And a lot of people who were like, we didn't know you were even going to be here. That's cool. Yeah. Every day our influence grows. You've been at Smosh for, what, is it a year and a half to two years Holy shit, man. That's crazy It's been a crazy two years here. So it feels like it feels like a lot longer Um, I don't know if you want to talk about this, but what you did before you were games Well, I didn't know but I didn't know this until recently.

That you worked at Conan. That I worked at Conan? No. That I was a teacher. That you were a teacher. In high school, I would teach... I was just telling this story to someone, but I would teach, like, elementary school

and middle school students at, like, this kind of... It was a makerspace, which I don't know if you've ever been to one, but they have, like, a lot of access to computers. They make... They're for adults, one, but they have a lot of access to computers. They're over 30. They're for adults usually, but they have computers with 3D modeling software, animation software, so you can go and use that equipment without having to buy

a lot of those expensive things. And so you can use their 3D printers, their laser cutters. It's almost like the evolution of a library. It is, it's like a library, but you're kind of there to make things. Yeah, that's cool. Oh, that's cool. So in my hometown in Massachusetts, we had one. It's not a library, but you're kind of there to make things. Oh, that's cool. So in my hometown in Massachusetts, we had one.

It's not open anymore, but it was for kids. So parents could drop their kids off or they could come after school. It was kind of close to all the schools, so kids could walk. Or they could do like summer camps where they're there for a whole week. And I would do classes where it's just like, oh, let's do 3D modeling classes or 3D printing classes. That's sick. So they would go into like Auto, or not AutoCAD. We had like a, I don't remember what it was called, but it was like a simpler CAD programming thing.

And they would like make shit in the computers. How many kids in a class? Probably like 10 to 15. That's still a lot, man. Or I would just be sitting there and they're all playing Minecraft. And then I'd play Minecraft with them. There was a lot of Minecraft back then. I mean, that's awesome.

But I mean, I know you used to teach Minecraft, kind of. I would teach Minecraft. Yeah, I would teach like Redstone. Holy shit. I would teach. Because you could eventually kind of basically teach coding through Minecraft. Yes. And that was the thing.

That was really what it was, was like teaching game design and teaching coding. That's really sick. I would do Scratch a lot. I don't know if you guys are familiar with Scratch. I feel like that's a Minecraft class has got to be the easiest class to teach for kids as far as keeping their attention. Oh, yeah, because they love it. They love playing Minecraft.

I mean, they'll go over like fucking blow each other's shit up. Sure. I'd have to put them in the corner for a couple minutes. Today we're teaching sabotage. We're teaching deception when trading. That's really funny. Why'd you get time out? I blew up my friend I grieved him and then I grieved my friend and I grieved him and then I grieved it I took it back to my base no my favorite

moment the Minecraft series when we when we when we all finally go to Tim's village and we felt like selectivelyively breeding, he's like, he's created this new super race of like Minecraft villagers. And like, and Tim's like, Oh yeah, what's up? Yeah.

Yeah. I did that. Yeah. Cause Minecraft does all the, um, it's so dense in how it works and the breeding of villagers or like making the perfect horse. So fucked up sounding.

That's like my favorite meme. It's like, you know, it's like guys playing video games. It's them like shooting someone in Grand Theft Auto, like ha ha ha, like blah blah blah. And then it's like girls playing video games. It's like them making like a prison in The Sims. And it's like they're like so like systematically torturing people like in The Sims.

Or segregation. That was like the Animal Crossing. It was like getting all the ugly people out. Yeah That was like the Animal Crossing. It was like, get all the ugly people out. Yeah, no, the Animal Crossing really brought it. It's like, you know, I'm going to make sure the only villagers on my island are the ones I want. It's really messed up.

Speaking of, this weekend, I booted Animal Crossing back up. No way, was it sad? They were rioting. They crucified. Tom Nook is just like, There were bodies everywhere. I had not touched that game since 2020, right?

Because that was my lockdown. That was March and April. I think that's actually all I did in April of 2020. It was fully baked into my day. Yeah. Because we would do our work. Because we didn't really stop working at Smosh. We kind of kept filming stuff.

We were all filming from home. But I would get my work done, and then I would just play Animal Crossing. And I would try my best to be like, oh, I need to stop. I need to take a break. And then I'd be like, oh, I'm going to hop back on and um so i put in so many hours we were all playing together we had like a slack channel where we were talking about it and i had forgotten what i'd done with it and i realized when i booted it back up that i had deleted my island whoa so i think i remember i think restarting i think in all of 2020 i put in so much time into it.

And then I hit a point where months later, you know, I'm just kind of burned out maybe or unhappy with the island. I think it's all very reflective of my own inner struggle throughout 2020. And so I remember I like tried to really remodel the entire island. And then I hated that. And then I ended up just, I remember just being like, I'm deleting this and I'm walking away and I'm done. And I'm not gonna revisit it.

And then lately... Systematically executed. That was like the burning of Jurassic Park. Yeah, line up. But then I just lately was like, you know what, I'm gonna check it out and hop back on. But just such a different feeling playing it now than back then.

I think I'd fallen off by the time those updates came out. I don't even know if I was playing it by then either. They had it like swimming and shit. I can't go back to a game that I used to play every single time. Checking off your to-do list? Here's an easy one from Pennzoil.

Like that's how I want to play Minecraft. And I don't have time to sit down all day and play. See, I hear the music, like the morning music or the evening music,

and I get legitimately depressed. I can't. for minecraft no from for animal crossing really i don't know why like this like deep you know depressing my depressed it might not be the word but it's like a legitimate melancholy flows over me is it like a memory thing i don't it's just like to me it's it's like i walked backwards like it's like it's not it's not not like I have bad memories of that time in my life. It's just something. It feels like I've gone back in time, but not in a good way. Interesting. No, that makes sense.

Because I like where my life has gone since then. So to go back, it feels like I'm stepping back. I think because it's a brand new island, I think that was actually the right choice. Because it really does just feel like, oh, I'm picking up this brand new game, I think that was actually the right choice because it really does just feel like, oh, I'm picking up this brand new game and I've forgotten so much about it. And I've also forgotten that Animal Crossing is meant to be played like-

Short. For like an hour a day is a really ideal way to play the game because you- That's what I would do. Only get a couple things. I would wake up and I would kind of do my chores. But I would play nonstop. And I would just make shit to do.

Thank God it was built like that. Because I got really into New Leaf the year before. That's the one on the 3DS. And that one's super built to play for an hour. And then you kind of play for an hour. There's nothing else to do. Really? And where this one, we were lucky because we were all quarantined.

And so we had to. That was all we had to do. And thank God it had a lot that you can do. And we were skipping the days, obviously. See, I'm such a purist in that I was like, I'm not going to skip days. Funny. So those first few days, because I'm remembering now as I'm playing it currently, I'm remembering that I'm like, oh, those first few days, there's actually nothing to do.

Because you start it and they're like, oh, those first few days, there's actually nothing to do. Because you start it, and they're like, yeah, so you have a fishing pole. You're going to have to wait until tomorrow to get more stuff. Maybe someone will move in, too. Yeah, and then so you're just, that first day, there's like nothing actually to do. But I was in lockdown with nothing to do, and I'm like, I'm not skipping days.

I will just play this tomorrow. So the final straw for me was I skipped days, and'm not skipping days. I will just play this tomorrow. The final straw for me was I skipped days, and it felt like cheating. It ruins it. It fully ruined the entire game for me. I started skipping days towards the end of me playing. I was like, I'm getting a little impatient. I want to move all these houses around,

but I don't want to wait. I have this time now to do it, so I'm just going to start skipping days. The second I start using cheat codes in a game is kind of the moment I lose interest in it. Unless it's the only game that cheat codes for me are just inherent is Age of Empires 2. Oh, yeah.

That's the only way I ever played. How do you turn this on? Here's the thing. I had Age of Empires 1 and 2 as a kid, so I got all the cheat codes confused. I think how you turn this I had Age of Empires 1 and 2 as a kid so I got all the cheat codes confused. I think How Do You Turn This On was Age of Empires 2. There was like Cheesesteak Jimmies. I only did the resources.

Yeah, you get the Shelby. Oh, yeah. I never did those. I just did the resources. Wait, wait, wait. Quarry was that one? Cheesesteak Jimmies. It's Cheesesteak Jimmies. It's Lumberjack. I thought it was Quarry was that one. Cheesesteak Jimmy's. It's Cheesesteak. Jesus Christ. It's Cheesesteak Jimmy's.

It's Lumberjack. It's. I thought it was Quarry was the one for Stone. Stone. Rock On. Yeah, it's Rock On. It's Lumberjack. What was the gold one?

Gold was Robin Hood. This is thrilling. This goes back to my philosophy on listing things. Yeah. It's always funny when you just start listing things out. No, it was like, it was an Oni Plays compilation that came out where it's just, they do a lot of compilations like, oh, best of like funny jokes or best of like, and then they did one that's just called best of listing things.

It's like an hour long. And I saw like a lot of tweets and be like, are you serious? And I watched it's like, oh, it's actually kind of funny when you start like listing things out and so we were watching that Smosh mouth where it was the one which like and my wife is cool and show the Smosh reddit oh the reddit yeah that's like my favorite clip the where it's it's the husband talking about how much he loves his wife like I like I rub my wife known I might have been the same story but it's a so it's the one where where Courtney's tearing up, and you and I are dying.

Yeah, because he's talking about how he's It's like the smell of her hair. No, and what got us was that he's like, yeah, and the feeling of her fingers in my hair. Yeah. And it's just like, what were you? If you just keep going on and on and on, it's really funny.

No, he does, he went forever. And it's like, you don't need to do this because you're talking to a bunch of anonymous people online. Yeah. Get to the bunch of anonymous people online. Yeah. Get to the point of the story. You're asking a question.

He was just typing out. He's like, oh, man. The smell of her hair. He started getting horny halfway through. Hold on, guys. I got to get up real quick. It cuts off. He started typing asterisk moan.

Did you guys do that in the Reddit stories about the husband who makes the Age of Empires new villager sound? Yes, when his wife gave birth and it was like the final straw and she was done with him. But because he was doing a bunch of awkward shit throughout the entire labor process. He was trying to pass

the time. I know, but like everyone, it's one of those where everyone's like maybe this everyone's just like i hate you man like you just sound annoying unfortunately ever ever like from that reddit i was like i i fuck with this guy but that that was but i mean that was a my favorite it's like the reddit thread that like or the reddit post that kind of went viral for forever it was like uh oh like my wife's in labor. It's time to game. It was him and he had Breath of the Wild up.

Nice. He was like, you know what that means. People would do that all the time. It's like, oh, my nephew's in the hospital. You know what that means.

Anytime there's some seriously big event happening, they'd be like, oh, it's time to die. It's like grandma's funeral. The switch is so convenient. It reminds me, one of my favorite memes is that family guy one. Where it's just like, you just have the phone.

It's a precursor to that. Phone with family guy. Boring ass. That's good shit, man. Boring ass labor. So what are you guys playing right now? Nothing. You're not playing anything?

Magic the Gathering? No. You guys run the games channel and you're not playing video games? Dude, I don't want to fucking talk about it. We were just at fucking Gen Con. Okay. I played, like, 50 trillion board games. Have you're not playing video games? Dude, I don't want to fucking talk about it. We were just at fucking Gen Con. I played like 50 trillion board games. Have you not played a video game this year? We saw NFL Uno.

Right, you guys talked about NFL Uno. So it's called Uno Elite. It's a Walmart exclusive. No. It was so funny. Wait, do you have the cards? No, they're in my fucking... So each thing, this not not an ad but truly

not so each it comes to like the uno thing and then it comes like a goal like a foil pack of like player cards so you open you like you pull like uh and each uh you pull like nfl players and each one has like special abilities so let me tell you it's regular uno so you're drawing cards on the thing you put the one in the middle and and the next person goes. You have to match the numbers or the color. But you have another deck of cards that you build. I think it's eight cards. And you have three of them available to you, and they're all different colors,

and they'll do different actions. So some of them are like, target player draws a card. Or take an extra turn. Or everyone draws a card, you take an extra turn. Or there's like a lot of weird advanced ones that we didn't get to see. And if you play a card with a star on it, you get to play a card of the same color

from your hand, essentially. And then you play it, and you target someone and do it, and then you reveal another. So that adds another layer of Uno where you kind of have some options. A little bit of strategy. You have some strategy. She's so fucking good at explaining board games.

She's a teacher. Well, so here's what we found out. We're on the plane. This is crazy. We're on the plane back, and the woman next, like, you know, I'm in the middle. Spencer's on the window. That sucks, man. I like sitting in the middle. It's not that bad. And I got this woman next to me,

and as we land, she turns to us. She's like, did you guys come to the Mattel booth? And we're like, yes. And I had been looking at her at the airport too. I was like, she looks really familiar. She was the one that demoed the game to us. Oh, and we're like, oh my God. Yeah. That was so fun. I was just telling her like, I actually really enjoyed that game. Um, and she was like, you about it right after like, dude, like Shane's going to love this.

Yeah. Yeah. And she was like, yeah. And I, she was like designer at Mattel. Um, and I, she wasn't the designer for Uno Elite. I don't remember how this came up she's like yeah the guy who designed that is really into magic yeah and i was like no everyone's into magic everyone is in every like designer is into magic i just think magic's like the gameplay lends itself really well to referencing for something else it seems like there's so many different mechanics within magic where it's like, oh, I want to focus just on this kind of part of magic. I think we can make a game based on this.

Not even that, but the way that magic layers game actions, where it's like, OK, someone does something. Then someone can respond to that. Now it's on the stack, they call it. And then you can start putting things on the stack, and then something will resolve. You can put something else, and then you resolve it in order interesting and that I Take into account whenever I'm playing any game. Yeah, it's like okay now

We should do all these actions in a specific order and I was trying to do that with Le neck beard But we fucked that up. I don't know if you saw that comment. I saw that that shit But it lends itself well to like okay, I'm gonna design a game And just follow that basic format. I'm going to try and follow this format because it works so well. It's crazy because it's such an old card game now, but it was designed just so well. Seeing those old packs was so sick. We should have bought some.

My brother has a bunch of old Magic the Gathering cards from like the 90s. Yeah, Tim has a ton of them too, wherever he is. That would make sense. Is Tim the best player? No, Tim's still kind of new. Who's the. That would make sense. Is Tim the best player? No, Tim's still kind of new. Who's the best out of everyone here? Is Tim really kind of new? Well, he used to play when he was like when Magic was first coming out

and then he didn't play for a really long time. He was an early adopter of Magic. When he had his little tiny vests back then. I wonder when the first time he put on a vest he was like this feels good. We need the origin story movie. But first he had the shitty handmade vest

like in Spider-Man 1 when he has his handmade. It's construction paper that he's put together. His parents are like, we can buy you a vest, man. He's like, no, I must earn it. Earn it, yeah. Earn it he has. I fucking love him. No, seriously. No, he's like no I must earn it earn it. Yeah, he earned it. He has I fucking know seriously No, he's he's awesome. Tim's been I wish to have like a style like that like like yeah I really respect it. He's that's been the case since I've known him. Yeah. Yeah

No, I've only seen one photo of him without the vest. I haven't even seen that. I don't know if I want to no Don't it made me throw up It was like, you know, my eyes started to bleed. It was like seeing an unknowable bird. It was seeing like a new color. Yeah. Fuck. He was iridescent, bro.

There's nothing there, man. Yeah, yeah, Brandon showed me, he like unclipped the Pulp Fiction suitcase, like blared in my eyes. Oh, was it Brandon who had the picture? I don't remember who had the picture. Don't show it to me. Brandon has a collection. We can't put that online. Delete it. Cannot put that online. If you

find photos of Tim without a vest on, please do your best to... Report them to the authorities. Report them to the FBI. Delete it. Burn it. Whatever you can do. No, he had to pull it up on the fucking dark web, bro. But that's for games. I'm still playing Fortnite.

Today, we're awaiting anticipation. Holy shit. Yeah, you play a lot of Fortnite. Let me check Twitter real quick to see if that's dropped. Oh, the FNAF thing? The FNAF news. Yeah. Okay, so here's my theory.

Because they were like, okay, FNAF is having a collab, and everyone's like, oh, it's going to be Fortnite. And it hasn't happened. It's happening today as of filming. As of filming this, we're waiting on this. What if it's just such a letdown? Well, so then the creator of the Scott Cawthon, or whatever his name is, he did like an interview the day before,

like yesterday, guys. And he was like, I want to make sure that any collabs that we do with Fortnite, or with Fortnite, he said that, and then we knew, no. Any collabs with FNAF makes sense to FNAF. He's like, there's a lot of games that I like a lot, but I don't think it would be a good fit. And so a lot of people were thinking Dead by Daylight. Okay.

Horror. Oh, that'd be sick. My theory, sorry to keep talking about it, is Magic. Oh. Magic has been doing a lot of collaborating. A lot of collabs. I was like, and I think that'd be really cool. And the next magic set that is coming out in,

I think September, October, is retro horror themed. So does Magic the Gathering all take place in like one universe or is it? It takes place in one. Then they have universes beyond. That's where they fit in. There's Lord of the Rings once. Assassin's Creed and Lord of the Rings

and Transformers and doctor who okay what what else fucking monty python um there's some v8 street fighter love island i play rob oh the walking dead like they have everything and so jurassic park i need it i need to i tried to get into it a few years ago. I played some games with Damien. And I was like, okay, this is cool. I got it. I was like, this is much simpler than I was expecting. I was expecting a very complicated...

Well, because we tried to play Yu-Gi-Oh! And that shit was a nightmare. James plays Yu-Gi-Oh! I was like, no. And I played Yu-Gi-Oh! as a kid. But I was like, what happened to this shit in 15 years? This is insane. Yu-Gi-Oh as a kid, but I was like what happened to this shit in 15 years It went well

Yu-Gi-Oh is woke guys, but magic was very very Accessible to me no, and it's like I mean yeah, you can read the card And it usually does what it says sometimes it doesn't but if I can chime in that's what I like about much game Exactly like it's like whatever it says in the card Tops anything any rule of the game. If the card says you can do that. You keep moving it. Yeah. But yeah, you guys do play Fortnite.

So you do play video games. I play a lot of Fortnite. Yeah, you lie. I haven't in a minute, but I did lie. I didn't want to admit it. There's a whole group of people who play Fortnite here, too. It's a lot of people. So it's you guys, there's Mallory, there's Bailey, Emily.

Yeah. You guys all group up and play. I tried to get into it again I enjoy it for a few rounds and then I'm like nothing yet so the announcement has not been made yet I restarted Jedi Survivor on Xbox

and I fucking love that well you beat Elden Ring recently too I did beat the DLC that was really good and now I want to play I really want to play through the Dark Souls games again. Whoa, all of them.

All of them. I really want because Alex never played Dark Souls 2 and that's my favorite. I never played that. That's the one I didn't play. I want both of y'all to play it. I think it's really, really fun. Challenge accepted. Challenge accepted. I would love to know y'all's play it. I think it's really, really fun. And it just, it's kind of... Challenge accepted, bro. Challenge accepted.

Yeah. Yeah, so I would love to know y'all's take. And it'd be fun if we all played through it together. That was the one, so back when I lived with Damien, he played so much Dark Souls 2. Like that's, in the entire time that we were living together, that's like the main game he was playing. Yeah.

And he was not playing the story. He was playing it online, like PvP story, he was playing it online like PvP and he showed me some matches. He's like, watch how this is done. And there's tons of people around. And it's like all just social contract, right? This isn't like how the game is designed. It's just, oh no, everyone agrees

they're not attacking each other. And then people go up one at a time to face each other and he was like, walk up on this bridge and they bow to each other and then they fight it's really funny and i was like this is crazy that you this has happened organically in the volcano area where you guys aren't just all killing each other you have created this organization this fight it's like those videos of guys trying to do sketches in fortnite but they have to do it in a big 100 player lobby lobby. Isn't that what Nick830 does?

He'll bring in his whole... He'll be like, chat, stream snipe me. Let's all get into this one game, and then they'll all land together. And he's like, okay, everyone stand here, and then one kid will start shooting people. He's like, chat, ban this guy. Chat, kill him.

Kill that man. What have you been playing? Animal Crossing. This is you been playing? Animal Crossing so I'll probably this is my plan because Animal Crossing I'll only play for a little bit the game that I've also had for a long time is Disco Elysium

I've never played it either I just need to play it I need to just boot it up I hear it's like the best game of all time I'm gonna take a day off from work it's a book, it's fully a book it's similar like best game of all time. I'm going to take a day off from work. It's a book. It's fully a book. It's similar like Baldur's Gate 3 vibes where you're just clicking things and then you get a whole spiel. I struggle with those.

I do too. That's why I'm like, okay, I need to really. It's the same feeling as reading a book where you have to really be locked in. It's why I love games like Animal Crossing, though, where I'm like, I don't have to think. I actually don't have to think at all. I could close my eyes, put earplugs in, and just press buttons, and I'll be okay.

See, I really want a game that makes me think about how I'm playing it. I think engaging with the gameplay of a game is really important to me. That's why Animal Crossing, I don't think I could sit down with again. That's why Monster Hunter and Dark Souls is so cool because you are

kind of studying as you're playing and reacting to the way the game is allowing you to exist in its world. That's true. I miss Monster Hunter a lot because that was my unemployed game. I could not get into that game at all. I couldn't either. I will Monster Hunter a lot because that was my unemployed game. See, I could not get into that game at all. I couldn't either.

I will try to get into the new one. I saw they released some stuff for it this morning. Yeah, I haven't watched it yet. Or yesterday. But when you were explaining the seamless co-op for Elden Ring, I was like, well, that's kind of just what Monster Hunter ends up being. Yeah, they're similar in vibe, but Monster Hunter was so repetitive to me. It is very repetitive.

I was like, oh, I go and fight that monster again? Yeah. Oh, okay. And to me, I like the speed of how quickly most things will go down. Even the most intense boss, it's like a three-minute battle tops in Elden Ring or Dark Souls.

If you're going longer than that, it's like we've kind of lost. Monster Hunter, you enter the world and it's like, okay, you have 40 minutes. Yeah. It's like, okay. That shit, I don't enjoy at all. Yeah, I don't like time. No, I really, I don't know what it is.

I think it truly is that I can just keep going and going and going and going. It's like Elden Ring, I love fighting the bosses. It kind of makes me sad when I can't go back. And I think that's why. You can go back. Monster Hunter works. You can join other people and that was almost more fun. Yeah, I did beat Pikmin 4, which was sick as hell.

I was just talking to someone. The magic guy. Yeah. He clocked my shoe charms. But yeah, Pikmin 4 is so fucking good. So incredible. And I haven't played that since Pikmin 1. I still have not played a Pikmin game.

They're fun. Pikmin 4 was really fun. Oh, that was another game I started because I have a GameCube, and so I started Luigi's Mansion 1. Wow. And what a cool aesthetic. It's kind of repetitive, but the music, the graphics, some of the technology that they were doing on the GameCube,

like those reflections or the way the curtains would blow and then kind of dynamically get sucked into your thing like it's really Funny, I've only played three which was the switch one right? With the hotel yeah, I think that was most recent one if there was a game that we could play on the games channel That and it would like a well-read guarantee like oh, this is gonna crush What would it be because Because I feel like we... Monkey Ball. Monkey Ball?

That'd be insane if Smosh Games became known for doing Monkey Ball videos. Every week. Every Wednesday, Monkey Ball. I almost feel like it could because it's such a random movie game. That's the game that I'm trying to like... Whenever Angel's like, I want to get really good at a game, like, just play Monkey Ball. Because it's literally just you are tilting the stick

and then you can watch all these videos of people like skipping major chunks of the game and it's like not that hard to figure out the physics okay now monkey ball is it's it always seemed really fun yeah uh and then i play it i'm like yeah this is this is fun it's fun when you like play it a lot like you have to play it a lot and then understand like how to break the game essentially because watching speed runs of monkey ball is crazy interesting i mean the thing i would love is if we could you know be more of like a not like a fortnight channel but like you know it's such a fun social game um we just got so oversaturated for so long yeah well like and it's it's funny because a lot of the streamers like they are like solo creators so it's like they So it's like they're playing the game and they're talking to chat.

But to me, that kind of takes away the group dynamic. Yeah, what I enjoy about Fortnite. Yeah, which is like, oh, let's all hop in this car together. Yeah. Oh, I'm riding on top of the car, things like that. We're always giggling when we're playing Fortnite. I'm giggling. I'm giggling.

It is a silly game. I'm kicking my feetsies. I respect that game for being so silly. Yeah, it's so silly. They've embraced that. Even when you hit a teammate with your car, they go shooting up. And it's the funniest. Every time you accidentally bump someone with your car, it's comedy gold.

Whenever I've played, I'm like, why is nobody else just getting in a car? It just seems like it's the smart move. Well, the new season is just all cars. And I think everyone's ready for the next thing. I have no idea what they're going to do next. Well, the new season is just like all cars. And I think everyone's ready for the next thing. Yeah. I have no idea what they're going to do next. I guess Five Nights at Freddy's maybe. Yeah.

Who knows? I wish retro games did better. Yeah. Because they're just fun to revisit. They're simple. But I understand why they don't typically get massive views. Because it's just like it's not appealing. They're not

made to be emergent. They're so finite in their... It wouldn't be every single one. You'd have to do a different one every time. You couldn't return to Mario 1 and be like, what jokes am I going to do?

It is cool that we're playing N64 Mario Party and it's working. But obviously there's that whole twist to that. But I wish we could figure something out. We need more twists. We need more twists.

I do have some games pitches. I heard. For a little bit. Maybe once we're getting close to the end of this episode, I'll throw some at you guys. And we're receptive. Okay.

I think we're very kind. I think, yeah. Well, yeah. People come up to us all the time and they're pitching us games. I had a guy in an Uber pitching me Yahtzee. Just like, play Yahtzee? Well, he was like, you know how he was I was just saying, he was like, you know how like on ESPN they do like

poker? They do like really dramatic poker? They should do that with Yahtzee. With commentators being like, well, he could go for the five here, or he could stay with the four of a kind, blah, blah, blah. And I was like, it's actually not a bad idea. I would like to do more on games. I like the elevated,

you know, elevating silly games to be really serious. Those are my favorite moments in the darts videos, where it's like, you know, we wanted that close-up camera on the thing, so you can really see. It's funny those are my favorite moments in the darts videos where it's like, you know, we, we wanted like that closeup camera on the thing. So you get like really see. Yeah. It's funny that we shot that here.

It's literally right here. Yeah. Yeah. It feels, it feels very different. We do so much right here. I know. I'd love to like incorporate commentators.

Yeah. I think that's such a funny, like, you know, we let a big group of cast do more like physical comedy, maybe like a darts video, but, like, everyone's kind of more, like, flashier and goofier.

So that the people competing aren't talking as much. Aren't talking as much, and it's, like, two people commentating that are kind of lifting the comedy. That would be really nice, because it's not apparent because the edit is so good, but darts is really weird to film. Yeah, it is. It's very strange to be in it

because it's so much dead space. It's actually a really hard video. It's hard because you're kind of trying to think of what to say next. And it's hard to be in that mode while also engaging with physics.

But also the other people. Amanda was doing a great job of being like oh like so what's everyone like oh sorry um so like amanda would be like you know like uh like what's everyone doing after the game like you know come kind of prompting us like our characters um but if you know you had a commentator who's they're just watching the thing you know thing. I've seen a lot of baseball commentary clips lately. They're really funny because they're kind of just sitting there watching it all happen. I mean, did you ever watch MXC? Yeah. That's just the best.

I mean, that's the thing, right? It's like you can't just make anything. We could just record a regular games video. And that's kind of like how Moist Critical got his start. He would do kind of like how Moist Critical got his start. He would do kind of like, yeah, he would do like commentary of like games. It was his slapping

videos that I remember. Oh, that's right. That was like a couple years ago, though. I'm talking like 10 years ago. Oh, wow. See, I was not aware of who he was until a couple years ago. No, this was like, so he would do like, he would show those Japanese, like the horse racing video games,

where he was like, and around the corner is Poopy McFacebutt. And 10 years ago, that was the funniest shit I've ever seen. That's revolutionary. Now, yeah, not as much, but he's branched out. Yeah, he's branched out.

He's evolved in the correct way, I'd say. But I think we should try something. I mean, one of the funniest bits, I really liked Angela and Amanda as the commentators in the dog show. The dog show, yeah. They crushed that, yeah. They're really good.

I think a lot of the cast would be really good at that. That would be really fun to have two commentators. And then that way, we can still talk shit, but you're not... We'll still have open microphones over here or whatever. Yeah. I mean, something that I have kind of like a bad memory of, and maybe we cut this out, maybe we don't, but a long time ago when I was editing,

we did Smosh uh winter games and that was the one where ian and anthony couldn't go to because they were filming ghost mates yeah they're filming a movie yeah um so they're like uh you know the the powers that be at defy were like oh well like we'll have them do like a commentary track after so they would kind of watch the the footage um you know in a room at the defy office and then i would have to kind of watch the footage in a room at the Defy office and then I would have to kind of put them in at like key moments. I just remember being a pain in the ass

because it was like, you know, That's not as fun. You need the commentators there physically. And that's why, And it'd be funny if like they can hear the commentators. And so that way they could go and talk shit at the commentators. It needs to be right there.

And there needs to be mid-game interviews. There needs to be in-game chats. No, even just like after throwing the darts, they go and talk shit at the commentators. It needs to be right there. There needs to be mid-game interviews. There needs to be... That's really fun. No, even just like after throwing the darts, they go and they sit down. It's like, how do you feel about that? Then you get that Mickey Mouse girl from O-Games. You guys gotta talk about her.

You can't say that, bro. You can't say that. Oh, Mickey Mouse girl from the O-Games, where she's like, oh, I run really fast. Did you guys see that? I didn't see that, no. Look at Mickey Mouse O-Games.

Guys, Google Mickey Mouse O-Games, but O-Games? I didn't see that, no. Look at Mickey Mouse O Games. Guys, Google Mickey Mouse O Games, but O Games. I think she's a sprinter, and they're asking this really long, drawn-out question, and she's standing really serious, and then she's like, well, I think the... Well, I think the... Was she Swedish or something? I don't know, man.

Could have been from anywhere, bro. She's from Orlando. It wasn't even like her accent. The Magic Kingdom? Have you heard of it? From Toontown, man. Toontown. Get it right.

But yeah, no, I think that live commentary could be really fun. I think we almost experimented a little. When I was keeping score in the second one, when Amanda kind of kept coming over to me, and that kind of became like a running bit of her, like the flirting with the points boy. Dartman? Yeah.

And then we got to do Dartman. Dartman. Dartman is probably the funniest thing. People are now commenting a lot of names of Dart celebrities that should be in Darts, but ones that we've already cooked up. Obviously, there's been Dart Vader. I just came up with one. You know Lord?

I was just bored. Bored with an E at the end. That's really bad. Is that good, guys? We'll put some really long hair on someone? It's Randy Marsh. One of the crazy things, I don't even think I saw those episodes

where Randy Marsh became Lord. I think I just saw the clips, and I was like, that's really funny. The episode itself, if I remember correctly, don't even think I saw those episodes where Randy Marsh became Lord I think I just saw the clips and I was like that's really funny the episode itself if I remember correctly isn't even like that funny just Randy Marsh just being Lord for some reason it's just yeah I mean like if this if I can take a moment to take talk about Randy Marsh sure yeah he's probably like I don't think I've established how much I love Randy Marsh. Okay. And Butters. Okay. Do you feel bad when they're mean to Butters? Yeah.

I love those memes. It's like people crying. It's like me when they're mean to Butters on South Park. No, but Randy Marsh consistently cracks me up more than I think like any fictional character. Anytime Randy Marsh does literally anything, I'm like, he's the funniest dude alive. See, you guys are laughing. I'm not even thinking anytime Randy Marsh does literally anything I'm like he's the funniest see you guys laughing even think about seriously you're like you're like guys I really need to talk about Randy more guys it's time we have this discussion about Randy Marsh is Randy Marsh your favorite fictional character he's my company's one of my comfort characters for sure I sing top

three fixing I think top three comfort characters yeah top three fictional characters just favorite fictional there are people who like they just come on for characters for sure. Guessing top three fictional characters. Guessing top three comfort characters. Top three fictional characters just favorite fictional characters. There are people who like they just come on screen and I start fucking giggling. One of them one of them is

Will Forte as MacGruber. Yes. The second he like just like honestly just like Will Forte period. Yeah. As soon as he like starts like

But him as MacGruber is special. Yeah. Randy Marsh like he can just he can like he can get me with a sentence. But Randy Marsh

in later seasons. Because the first 10, he's kind of just a whatever character. And then he gets insane. It kind of began with the Little League episode. That was when he kind of broke and he becomes insane. And from then on out, yeah, that's when he

started becoming super funny. I would love to guess top three fictional characters. I think that's a good one. Yeah, and then, I don't know who I would pick. You gotta think, man. Peter Griffin or Joe Swanson

could be up there. I never care about Joe. Peter Griffin is... Peter could kind of do anything. Peter's probably, like, as a kid, when I first started watching Family Guy,

Peter made me laugh so hard. There's a level of confident stupidness that is so good. I just watched that clip on Twitter where he's like, don't talk to my wife. And he gives him a million dollars. Like, your daughter might be worth a million dollars, but to me, she's worthless. No, and that's early seasons of Family Guy that I used to watch. It's just so good. The vacuum joke is probably my favorite.

When the guy's like, it's a cutaway where the guy's like, yeah, Peter, we figured out what's wrong with your vacuum. Turns out there was a half-eaten meatball stuck inside of it. And he goes, oh, well, did you save it? And the guy's like, no. And he's like, oh, you bastard. I just love it. I even quoted a Gen Con.

Of course, now I know it wasn't a cheeseburger he takes ecstasy the other thing I think when you said vacuum I was thinking of when Brian and Stewie they're like in the bleachers for some game and maybe they're not even in the bleachers but like

I'm so fucking sorry but Stewie he's like close up of Stewie and he sorry but stewie stewie he's like it's like a close-up of stewie's and he's talking shit to brian he's like oh and uh and brian's like i'm gonna go tell us he's like oh i said vacuum i said vacuum i said vacuum um i have some games pitches here finally made family guy moose master i'm wondering i first off question, how many more things do you think I can guess people off of? Do you think that series is running out of steam? I mean I know we're doing childhood photos

or baby photos. We'll never do it, but I do want to talk about, I want them to know about guessing feet Yeah, that's not my favorite It's guessing feet and But we've lost the footage So it's just Shane on a green screen and he's staring at it, he's just just staring at it normally. He's like, those look great.

Wow. I've never seen these. It's got to be Tim, right? Clean cut. I mean, if we wanted to get in top caliber, guess the color of their underwear. It's the Charlie XX. Are you not online, bro?

That's what Billie Eilish is doing. Did you want me to laugh? Did you want me to be impressed? I have thought about what's in their bag. If everyone picks out a couple items from their bag that they bring to work. The Amoeba videos, what's in my bag. Amoeba?

Did I say it wrong? No. It's not Amoeba. They do the YouTube videos. Does Amoeba do that? Yeah, they do what's in my bag and yeah did i say it's wrong no amoeba they do the youtube videos yeah they do what's in my bag i thought it was gq no it's like the record store they think they're still around i have a hot take right now what's up sure fuck amoeba dude are they actually never been around i don't know man they're on every time i would go in there it's like i'd be like oh cool this record I want They'd be like it's $50 You're buying them new Let me go on eBay and just find someone

I mean they would be like old records Like used records I'm trying to get into music Yeah I've been listening I've listened to a lot of music lately Because my grandparents left a bunch of Vinyl records When my grandparents passed away I inherited a lot of music lately because my grandparents left a bunch of vinyl records. When my grandparents passed away,

I inherited a bunch of records and I've been listening to them all and they're really dope. It's sick. A lot of old instrumental shit. We need a record player on set. It's honestly fun to have one because it's like nice background music. It's not overpowering. It's gentle.

Is it Brandon? Sometimes Brandon will play stuff on that little speaker. Scott. Scott. That makes sense. I think Brandon's done it, too. I remember making requests. I remember being like, hey, put on some Deep Purple, bro. I remember that day.

I remember that. Okay, let's hear your... All right. So, first off, some basic ones. We didn't get into this about the origin of Gentleman's. What was the origin? The origin of Gentleman's. What was Gen Con last year? The origin of Gentleman's, just really briefly, was you wanted to make a more mellow video, right?

No, no. We were in the hotel room at Gen Con last year, and we were trying to pitch different things. It's like, well, what if we do Moose Master, but it's civil? Yeah. Oh, yeah, like polite, polite. And then we're like, a Gentleman's sport. But then it ended up being opposite.

Yes. And it became more insane. But I think gentlemen's werewolf we were talking about. Courtney texted me that this morning. Yeah, that would be frigging sick. Yeah. Gentlemen's a lot of stuff. Gentlemen's sniper chess.

Gentlemen's sniper chess. I'll get a card. Gentlemen's sniper chess would be incredible. Well, I want to do O game pistol chess. No, the pistol chess, I really like that idea. And this time, I really want to get the glasses. I think we can get the glasses. I was reading more about what the glasses do,

and it's so you don't have to squint. Yeah, that makes sense. It's blocking your peripherals, it's blocking the other, and then your dominant eye gets kind of like this. It's just so you don't have to move your face at all. Except for the one dude who just was there. Both eyes open. Just both eyes open, just looking at it.

Okay, so I have a couple here. I don't have too many. One that I have pitched before is Jenga, but with pool cues. Oh, that's really fun. Where you're far away and you have to knock out the pieces with pool cues. I think I saw a game. I think we actually have it at Gen Con where it's Jenga, but I think you're both. It's like a tug of war on the piece.

I don't remember. Chug of war. The designer kind of had to demo it for me. We were at that bar with the Bop It guy, and he was like, oh, check it out. He pulls it out. I'm like, oh, my God. He went to this event, and he kept telling me,

people kept giving him board games. It's funny. They just walk around with board games on them. Yeah, it makes sense. I had my magic deck on me, and I was showing the guy there. Okay, so a couple that I've thought of. Pachinko Connect Four. Okay.

How do we do that? You make the thing, so it's all random. To me, it's something like, who's going to fucking make it, man? Okay. I feel like you could probably buy some sort of basic wooden Pachinko board, and then you're just dropping the Connect Four pieces down, and then wherever they land, it's just random. It's just luck.

Connect Four with luck. I also thought Speed Run Connect Four. Speed Run Connect Four is funny. Where, you know, like maybe the Connect Four thing is here in the middle. The pieces are all like on the opposite sides of the room. It's like, all right, you don't have to wait your turn. You just go as fast as you can. But you can only go one at a time. That's what I like

about the commentators, because I feel like that would be really good for commentators. Yeah, because what are you going to say during that video? That's what's hard about some of these games. But a commentator's don't win would be crazy, too. Honestly, I would love to commentate a don't win video, because it's just like,

I love getting to watch and try and think what they're going to do. do like what's the plan here? And then you guys can like look really we can give you the glasses for that too Multiple versions of this but chess with only Queens But maybe if the board is like three times the size or but it's really long. Super long, just extra long. Yeah, no, the pieces are the same. Yeah. And then this last one, this last one, you guys have thrown around.

We can cut this if this is too... I think I know what it is. If we want to save this to unveil it but a woke Moose Master. I love it. So this is what we were going to unveil at VidCon. Guys, step aside, Summer Games. It's Woke Moose Master time. I think we've just been saying it as a joke of Woke Moose Master.

It has no backbone. But it honestly makes us laugh so hard. And the thought of Woke Moose Master where all the rules are just ridiculous. You didn't say your pronouns at the top of the screen, dumbass. Draw a card. Everything just making it super competitive, but also woke. Now, our favorite running joke has just been calling things woke. It's just like, are not at all.

I couldn't believe we were dropping that at them. We played Tapple and Hughes and Hughes with the op games with Ray and Adam who were lovely and we kept saying it and they loved it. Yeah. The people are ready. They are. They're ready for that shit. They're ready for Woke Moose Master which you know, we don't know.

We don't know what it is. We don't know at all. Did y'all ever talk about like Angela's pitch for Laser Tag Eat It or Yeet It? Laser Tag Eat It or Yeet It, yes. She's brought it up, and every time I go, what is that? She goes, think about it. What did she say in a Smosh pit?

It was in the Smosh pit theater, Who's Line. She said upside down Monopoly or something like that. Yeah. No, she loves saying a collection of words, and then we have to decipher that. Or like underwater something. That makes sense. Under loves saying a collection of words, and then we have to decipher that. Or like underwater something. That makes sense. Underwater is a good theme.

Yeah? Okay. All right, we'll do it. Anyways, we're out of time. Anything else you guys want to say before we go? Oof, woke moose mask. Woke moose mask. Anyways, watch Smosh Games.

I would like to plug my YouTube channel. It's called Smosh Games. It would mean a plug my YouTube channel. It's called Smosh Games. It would mean a lot if you guys... I don't think our audience is going to care about that. Okay. I think they're not interested. I think I might agree, actually. Okay, fair.

Well, thank you guys for being here. See you later. Bye. Bye.
