Hi, welcome to Smosh Mouth. I'm Shane. and I'm Amanda Leehan Canto this is Ian holy crap you got to say your whole name yeah cause you didn't and I was like I'm gonna say all three of my names and here's Ian hey I'm Ian Ian Hecox is your middle name E? what?

Ian Ian Hecox oh I thought you said Ian E what's your real middle name E? What? I said Ian. Ian Hecox. Oh, I thought you said Ian E. What's your real middle name? It's a secret that you'll never know. I think I've known at some point and I've forgotten. Richard. You'll never know unless you go on Google and it'll tell you.

It's just everywhere. I can't do that because we're filming. My middle name is Andrew. But John was an interesting guest. Wow, gave that up so fast. Sorry. John was a good guest because Ian is Gaelic for John. Oh, look at that.

We were just talking about Gaelic. We were? I was. Ian and I were. Yeah, because somebody said, don't call it Gaelic, just call it Irish. Yeah, and I was like, that's incorrect, ma'am. I don't know. Maybe it's not.

Irish fans, rise up. Yeah, let us know. If you go on the plane, if you go on Aerolingus to go to Ireland, after they announce things to you in English, they announce things to you in what I thought was called Gaelic because that was the original language. And someone said, no, it's just called Irish. Stupid.

All right. And here we go. I hate you. Wow. You're acting like a 19-year-old right now. Oh, you know what else is 19? Smosh. What?

Smosh is 19 years old. Smosh is 19. Your first baby is 19. Wow. Do you like that? Crazy. Do you like that? Do you like that?

Yeah, they're out of the house now. I can finally shit with the door open. Hopefully. Okay. Could have done that. I'm never doing that. Shane doesn't do that ever. No.

Actually, I don't. All right. I do live by myself. I don't Alright I do I do live by myself I don't shit with the door open Because I don't want The smell to escape the bathroom Whoa There's another good reason

Yeah There's so many good reasons It's so freeing I just like to have the door closed To be like I'm in my My capsule Yeah

And when I leave And I Nobody knows what happened When you Yeah When I When I Nobody knows what happened in there. When I poop. When I walk out of the bathroom and Courtney goes, what did you do in there?

I go, nothing. I didn't take a shit. I didn't take a shit in there. You're like a radio edit. I don't even know what that is. Like a radio edit of like a rap song. I didn't take a shoot. Another thing that you do when you're 19,

make up fun raps. Oh, we did. We did do that when we were 19. Don't. Yeah. You did do that. Really quick, before we get into talking about Smosh being 19,

we talked about this a couple weeks ago. We talked about it before it happened. We talked about the Love is Blind reunion before it happened. Oh, to make predictions? And I said, I sort of made predictions. I was just venting about how I'm like, it's going to suck

and it's going to be the most infuriating thing ever. And it was. It was in surprising ways. They found ways to piss me off in ways I didn't expect. This is true. So I didn't watch it because so many people told me it was not worth my time.

It truly, I, I, I'm borderline. I hate that show enough to borderline and be like, don't watch it. Like don't, don't support that show.

And you know what? Vanessa Lachey felt that in episode one, when she wore that intense black leather and she almost didn't speak, but had the eyes of vengeance. I don't know if you saw that. Maybe she's been listening to us. I think it's possible. Ian and I talked about this.

She seemed really mad. I think this one, this time, and I don't want to talk about it too much because it was forever ago, but this time I was mad at both of them, Nick and Vanessa, just because they were both like wet noodles. It wasn't that they were like necessarily going after anyone.

They just kind of let horrible shit happen. And when you let horrible shit happen, the worst people win because they're the ones who are going to be the most aggressive and make accusations. I agree. And they just kind of let it all fly. And the people who kind of, the people who got the fingers pointed out

were not the people that I needed to hear from. Who got their fingers pointed out? Nick was entirely the focus. Nick. He was entirely the focus. Oh, wait. Hannah's Nick? Yeah.

Take out the trash. The whole basis, and now we're talking about it. The whole basis was Hannah was like, yeah, you had a journal entry where you said you wanted to be famous from Love Is Mine. It's like, hold on. She read his journal. You're talking about, and nobody said, hey. Her and her friends.

Her and her friends read his journal. He read her to-do list. She posted his journal entry on her social media. I'm like, wait, nobody's talking about how this is an invasion of privacy. Also, Hannah quit her job and now is in LA with an

agent trying to be an actor. I'm like, you literally did the thing that you're accusing him of, but nobody knew it had hurt. He journaled that he wanted to be one of the most famous. What was it? One of the most famous contestants on Love is Blind. But no, he had a list of like three goals,

and he's clearly someone who's trying to write goals. He's like pineapple lover, my mom's best friend. I think it was a little bit of a manifesting thing. Yeah. Kind of like, oh. He said sell two homes, be in the best shape of my life for two weeks i don't come on bro clear off that uh game table that i have downstairs in my room with all the saints everywhere remember his room i was like the pool table she's like

you said you had a pool table and it's just like a pool table that's shoved into a closet he's like well yeah i mean like i gotta i don't know that was really anyways it sucked ass it was not good it sucked ass i hate that show there's a lot of there's a lot of issues with the show i think you know being uh real hostages of salt lake city girly okay i think the way that they do reunions is so much better it's three it's it's three parts that's they stretch their reunion out into three parts but with that they're actually able to go into each thing that happened and say let's talk about it yeah and the host andy actually like hold he's great that's the key is and and and it's watching someone do it badly is

when you realize how hard something is yeah and being a reality show host is something that probably at some point i was like oh oh, that can't be that hard. But now watching, I'm like, oh, my God, you are juggling so much bullshit. You really are. Yeah. That's crazy. Anyways. The reunion was kind of a bummer.

And they had like all this stupid filler, like, I don't care about the alumni. Like sitting there, like the council of lovers. Of beings. Like, stop. I hated it anyways but you watched the whole thing I watched

well I end up watching the whole thing I always am like I'm not gonna do this Courtney Lynn be like well I'm gonna watch the first episode and then I end up

watching it yeah cause it's the formula of how bad it is is so good but I end up every time

being like I hated this I hate what the show I feel like it's promoting I hate everybody I feel hate what the show, I feel like it's promoting. I hate everybody. I feel like it's a very, I feel like it promotes gender war too. And then they bring their friends

and they're like, all right, I want y'all to meet Nick. And then all the friends are like, that's not what she's doing. She's saying this. And it's like, dude,

of course your friends are going to like, stick up for you. Like, I just, I hate the meaning of the friends and the meaning of the mom. Remember that mother? Oh, I'll cut your. Like, I just, I hate the meaning of the friends and the meaning of the mom. Remember that mother? Ooh.

I'll cut your balls off. She honestly, she honestly at the reunion was the only one who kind of like was pointing anything. Like, you wanted her to host it. Right, yeah. Because she actually was like pointing things out. Anyways, I'm done talking about Love is Blind. Yeah, I think half the people stopped listening.

Yeah. Nobody's listening. Like, I came here to talk about Smosh. Like, Smosh turned 19, so love is blind. Love is blind. Cut back to love is blind. So Smosh is 19 years old. Yeah.

Ian, did you think that it would last this long? No. Why would I? Wouldn't you? I mean. I've officially done, I've lived more of my life working, doing Smosh than not doing Smosh that is crazy that's insane because how old were you when you first started Smosh 17 17 wow so a senior in high school

yeah we were just out of high school and how serious I mean like when you first started it was just it wasn't like a plan. It was just kind of, you're messing around. And then you said, you told me that you were like bored and you were just making videos. You were bored. Bored.

Wow. We were, this is suburbia. Um, didn't have a lot of like money to like do stuff. So it was just like, yeah, I don't know.

This, this, this is silly. what did you film things on started with a webcam like an android like a shitty like webcam that was wired to the computer so like yeah we had to shoot everything within like a radius of like three feet from the computer at the beginning so funny yeah so funny that's amazing i've i pitched to you guys the idea of trying to recreate a sketch with all the same equipment from back then which would be so much harder now because it's hard to just get that you get a webcam hey getting the equipment now yeah like

a windows movie maker from 2005 yeah you'd need all the same software all the same hardware that would actually be really funny though it would be really impressive but a lot of that stuff's probably lost. Lost technology. Nobody knows how they made it. It's kind of like the pyramids. It was not that long ago, guys. We don't know how Ian and Anthony

made the Pokemon lip sync video. It's similar to Stonehenge. It's like a VCR. Like, how does it work? Yeah, nobody really knows. People in their 30s, you guys keep thinking that we're just so old. We're not, right?

You're all in your 30s. Ancient technology of laser disc. I hate you. Did you ever have a laser disc? No, but Spencer's been talking about collecting laser discs. I had a floppy disc. Whoa, talking about old. Whoa.

In school. Shut up. In my class, sparkling business. I was aware of floppy disks. We had floppy disks. Yeah. Yeah. I'm trying to remember if Chex Quest was on floppy

or if it was on CD. Chex Quest? Chex, what the, Christmas? Christmas? Christmas? Chex Quest.

I always got to shout out Chex Quest, which was, you know Chex, the cereal, right? Of course. Okay, was you know checks the serial right of course okay do you know doom the video game no really so i think maybe yes okay so the original doom was like this weird kind of like like 3d shooters weren't they were like just starting to become a thing and doom was this very popular, hyper violent.

Okay. I think I know. I think I know. You're like shooting these like kind of like zombie held spawn people. You're on Mars. There's a lot of blood. So I wouldn't be allowed to play. Right.

Exactly. And I wouldn't be able to play it either. However, checks, uh, created like a, like, um a they made like a mod to to um doom and made it like a kid's version of doom and you're playing this checks guy and you're like shooting these like snot guys and And it was sick. With guns? With,

well, they weren't guns. Serial guns. They were, yeah, they were serial, yeah. So it was like, it was like the only way that I could play

like a violent shooter game. And it was free. Came in a fucking box of checks. That's insane. That is so wrong. Dude, shout out Cheggs Quest. I've never played Doom,

but it's such a fascinating game on a like kind of software level, on a programming level, because people will program Doom into weird shit. It's the benchmark. It'll be like, I think this is wrong, but someone programmed it into something weird like a

pregnancy test or something, where you can play Doom on... Wait, wait. That's always the thing. How do you play Doom on a pregnancy test? It's such an old game that all of our technology now is so Wait, wait. That's always the thing. How do you play Doom on a pregnancy test? Exactly. It's such an old game that all of our technology now is so far from where it was then that there's enough memory on random ass things to play. It's always like, can I play Doom on it?

Why? People do it as a challenge, right? So you guys are sitting on the toilet after you pee. I'm not doing this, Amanda. But maybe I thought about it. With door closed have you ever seen the door that's why i closed the door so i can play doom on my pregnancy quest pregnancy quest that's awesome you know anyone else on their pregnancy class that's actually awesome that's adventurous females trying to get pregnant that That's a pregnancy quest. That's a way better way of asking somebody if they're planning on having a kid.

Are you on the quest? Yo, how far are you on your pregnancy quest? You on any side quests? I actually kind of love that. Because it makes us feel like badass warriors. I could never fathom asking someone if they're trying. And you shouldn't, Shane. Some of those questions that parents ask that are like

i guess we're normal at some point of like are you trying for a kid i'm like the fuck kind of creepy questions they have no respect they don't care have you seen don't care have you seen the tim allen doom mod no where they replaced so this is this is tim allen in the santa claus or tim allen and home home improvement so it's home improvement i like how i know that it's home improvement and have you seen this? I've seen this. Okay, this is classic. So somebody modded Doom,

and they just replaced all the assets with Tim Allen, and ugh. You see, they're all coming at you. They're all doing the thing. It's good stuff, right? Yeah. Wait, that's so funny. I love dome improvement.

Well, then you're going to love the doom to Malin Mod. What was the man behind the fence? I hate that. Okay, I kind of hate that. Damn, I missed out on such a funny, funny world. I bet you your dad does programming and stuff. My dad, he was a computer engineer. Your dad knows all about this. He used to read like Microsoft books. Your dad probably has programmed stuff. My dad, he was a computer engineer. Your dad knows all about this.

He used to read Microsoft books. Your dad probably has programmed Doom into weird shit. I don't think, he was never a video game guy. I bet if you had a Tamagotchi as a kid, he would have programmed Doom. I had a Tamagotchi as a kid, and that Tamagotchi was fed. I never let that baby die ever.

Whereas my sister, it died every fucking day. Can you run Doom on Tamagotchi? I bet you could run Doom on a Tamagotchi. This is so cool. You kept your Tamagotchi alive? Of course I did. For how long? Who do you think I am? A monster? Oh, I threw it away when I was like a certain age. You threw it away?

Yeah, after I played, um, what's that? That's somehow worse than letting it die. You abandoned it. What are those bones called? Funny bones? Silly bones? Is it silly bones? I feel like I was asleep in a in a pod like in the alien going through a part of space and missed out i i need to show you there is a youtube video it's one of my favorites um called my house dot wad right it's it's a really creepy creepy where someone did a pro, like, nobody knows who this person is who made this program, but someone

programmed Doom, and it, like, seems like it's normal, and then you make this one move, and then all of a sudden it, like, replays, but it's a little different, and then people who know this know, like, oh, this is one of the creepiest, coolest things. I'll send you this video, and you'll watch it, and you'll

be fascinated by it. We should make Amanda play PT. Oh I'll send you this video and you'll watch it and you'll be fascinated. We should make Amanda play PT. Oh my God. What's PT? Physical therapy? PT is one of the best games ever made. It was a trailer.

Paul Thomas. It was a trailer for. It stood for playable trailer. Yeah. But it was like a horror game. It's very similar to Resident Evil.

But it never got finished. But this trailer was made and it was like one of the best like little tiny horror games. It kind of like changed the horror game realm. Yeah, it's a big deal. It's a huge deal. Scary as fuck. So Smosh was made in 2005.

So Smosh was made in 2005. 2005, you were 17. I was 17. How old were you? I was 17. Wow. Right? I just did this math. 2005, I was 14. How old were you? I was 17. Wow. Right? I just did this math.

2005, I was 14. Okay. Great. Good for you. I was 17. Yep. Okay. Yeah.

Pretty cool. Yeah. 2005, I feel like is not that memorable of a year. Right? It's just kind of a, just what was going on? Yeah. 17, high school, senior in high going on High school Senior in high school

High school musical hadn't come out yet Napoleon Dynamite was already out It was already been out for a couple years No I don't think anything happened in 2005 Which is why I think Smosh really hit Nothing fun Nothing awesome happened in 2005 Back checkers

Not really iPod Nano iPod Nano iPod Nano was my shit okay because I was running with a Discman forever and when you're running with a Discman and you have a CD in there to run with it means it skips your whole run well that's

what you have memory for like the CD players would have like memory but it'd be like 10 seconds of memory so you have to like yeah it sucked I basically ran like this dude it was ass with my disc mask oh god

it was such ass then when I got the Nano I was like this is sick I had the OG iPod for a long time oh Pope John Paul died in 2005 oh that's right we got him Jesus Christ are we gonna have to cut like 90% of this episode?

I think we might. When you were 17, what were you up to? I was a senior in high school. And every, I think, what was I doing? I was definitely in a play. I can't remember which play. Ian's just on his phone, just looking around at stuff um this wasn't important i was looking at i was looking at births and deaths i don't know if this is a death from

2005 or as a birth but it was a canadian senator representing newfoundland and labrador and his name is c william duty you look at it it's not even that crazy. But look how it's spelled. Yeah. It's crazy that Smosh turned 19 and we're acting like little freaking teenagers. Imagine having your

last name is... I can tell you what I was doing in 2005. Tell me. This is more so 2006, but it began in 2005. World of Warcraft. Oh, wait.

Yeah. I remember you talking about this. There is a documentary you should watch called The Secret Life of Ibelin. Oh, wait. Yeah. I remember you talking about this. There is a documentary you should watch called The Secret Life of Ibelin. Oh. And you are going to sob.

Ooh, baby. Add it to the list. You're going to sob. Wait, why? So, I don't even. Is it a kid who fell into World of Warcraft

because he played someone? No, it's actually beautiful. It's actually a beautiful story. I don't want to go into it too much, but it's an incredible dude who played World of Warcraft. And lives and it's a whoa okay gorgeous story but i was so into it man i played i played high school so i was beginning high school but i was homeschooled because i was now oh yeah acting and that year actually 2005 sucked because i was

just riddled with anxiety and stress because i was, because I was so stressed by the idea of not going to high school. And it'd been a thing that I'd like kind of believed in the fantasy of it my whole life. You know, when you're a kid and you see all these movies and stuff about high school, it's like, whoa, high school is going to be crazy.

And my brothers were in college by this point and, or even past college by this point and talked it up so much. And we're like, oh, high school is awesome. College is awesome. And so I was like, high school is fine. I was not going to go do it. And so I was going to be homeschooled because I was pursuing acting, which I was also very excited about. But I was like, what if acting doesn't work out?

And then I give up high school and then i also don't get the acting dream and then i just have neither so much pressure for a freaking 17 year old for 14 year old i was 14 that's crazy it's oh yeah you were 14 it sucked um but uh but i played a lot of world of warcraft and that helped soothe your anxieties yeah Yeah. You know what else happened in 2005? What? YouTube. Well, yeah, you guys were right there at the start. Yeah, yeah.

You literally- So YouTube came out. You guys were making videos before YouTube came out or when YouTube came out? Because you were making videos. That's a great question. I guess YouTube had already come out when we started making videos.

We didn't know about YouTube yet. So you're just making them for fun. We were just making them. Anthony's hosting them on his website. And then we were uploading them onto MySpace. Oh, yes. I knew that. And then when did you get the idea to start putting them on YouTube?

Wait, when your MySpace started blowing up, right? Were you in school? Stop looking at your phone. I'm looking at other events. I'm gonna kill him. English whiskey is reestablished in England. The fact that you had to look this far for events a dozen, five, and that's the best No, this is like, literally, this is the most

boring fucking year. No, wait, Ashley Simpson got caught lip syncing. Oh! SNL! Dude, that was the best. Can you imagine if that happened today? Nobody would care. Actually, you know what?

It would just be another day. You know what she would do? She wouldn't go. She would be like, I need to take a mental day to not go and we'd all be like, get it, girl.

Yeah. It was so crazy that she was forced to do it and I get it, I get it. It's SNL, but like still. Yeah, because it came out like she lost her voice. Yeah. Yeah. It was so crazy that she was forced to do it. And I get it. I get it. It's SNL. But like still. Yeah. Because it came out like she lost her voice. Yeah.

Yeah. Hey, I asked you a question, Mr. Ian, sir. Oh, Katrina. Hurricane Katrina happened. That's why I said nothing awesome happened that year. You're right. It was a bad year. Nothing exciting.

Andrew Stimson, a 25-year-old Scottish man, is reported as the first person proven to have been cured of HIV oh that's that is great that's cool okay now put your phone down I'll put it down now oh Microsoft releases

Xbox 360 okay Xbox 360 this is what you were like as a kid I literally see it is Xbox 360 that old no don't ask him questions

because then he just opened his phone up oh yeah Xbox 360 it's like I'm in the Indiana Jones ride it's like look into my eyes No, don't ask him questions because then he just opened his phone up. Oh. Yeah, Xbox 360. It's like I'm in the Indiana Jones ride. It's like, look into my eyes. Pull out your phone.

Anyways. I had to find at least one thing that was interesting about 2005. I don't even remember my question. Do you think if you guys went to high school together, you would have been friends? Because you were then the same, like... Him and I be friends in high school? Are you kidding?

Ew. She's a girl. I mean, hello. Holy shit. We just got a glimpse of you at 17. Oh, my hell. Oh, gross. No, guys, come on.

No. No, anyways. Guys. I don't know. Maybe. Absolutely not. Here's the thing. Here's the thing.

I don't know. Did you have any friends who had a bowl cut? Absolutely not. No. Oh, well, then I feel like that seals it. No. I mean, I was kind of wild when I was 17. I was literally wild.

I wasn't part of the popular children group. You don't think I was kind of wild when I was 17. I was literally wild. I didn't, I wasn't like part of like the popular. You don't think I was wild? You were? No. You and Anthony were doing like filming yourselves on webcam being bored. I like how there's physical proof that Ian was not crazy by making sketches. It's true. Listen, I'm not trying to say i really fucked up i

shouldn't have started this channel with my friend that employs all you motherfuckers you're right you know what my childhood was a disaster okay listen in maybe we would be friends i don't know okay i had a life i I was working. I was, no, here's the thing. I literally, I was in a job and I had like a bunch of sports and I was in a play. Like I was so effing busy.

I mean, I still had a lot of friends, but like, you know what? I'm not going down this road anymore. Ian. No, let's go down that road.

Definitely. I don't know. I actually can't say that. I know. I'm not sure. I'm not sure if we, sorry, sorry, sorry, Ian and go down that road. I don't know. I actually can't say that I know. I'm not sure. Sorry, Ian and I weren't living your kind of life. We were both starting our careers. We were building enterprise. I was about to be on iCarly in two years.

What do you do? Drinking and boofing? Boofing? I can't say that anymore because I was underage. Here's the deal. What's boofing? Boofing? I can't say that anymore because I was underage. Here's the deal. What's boofing? We don't need to get into that.

Actually, I don't want to know. Here's the deal. I was from the East Coast. The East Coast doesn't look at your careers as possibilities. Do you think people looked at what I was doing as a possibility? But they still let you do it. I didn't have time to just like your parents oh i didn't have to like

my mom was like you need to like work and get a job and make money and buy a car then you need to go to college and then you need to get a job so it was like i didn't really have that like freedom i don't know so maybe we would have been friends i don't know i'm not gonna get down this road anymore i don't think i don't i don't like theater were you in plays no exactly yeah i don't think we would have been in the same group no definitely no that's usually why it's like yeah with like we were all like it was like kind of like indie kids okay yeah like some kind of like emo indie kids that's right i don't know some emo kids yeah yeah the theater you were never emo though no i wasn't i was not emo i dressed like i was going to spain on a trip like i don't know why every time i look back on pictures i'm wearing

like these long skirts or like these low-rise and like some Hollister shirts and then like random like scarves. I'm like, who dressed me? But it was all hand-me-downs. It was that era though. It was that era. The scarf. The scarf era.

Oh yeah, I forgot about the scarf. Straight, straight hair. Oh yeah. I had thin eyebrows. Yeah. Full on. Did you see clips of that movie where they're,'s like it's that netflix movie where she's like she goes back to 2003 and she's like looking around but people have been talking about how

it's like it's just not quite there but someone pointed out it's like none of their eyebrows are thin none of their eyebrows and it's just like you missed that yeah and that is so crucial yep um the thin eyebrows were huge i even looked back on my senior picture and i was like woman what did you do? What's kind of a funny thing that I'm thinking about is that I didn't have sisters. And so growing up back then, I think I maybe thought that's what everybody's eyebrows looked like naturally. Oh, no. I just was like, that's just what eyebrows look like.

Because I didn't have any. Oh. Uh-oh. I'm trying to think back on what I probably thought back then. Trust me. Mine was one big, large eyebrow that was like super thick.

And my sister was like, yikes, you got to get rid of that. And I remember feeling so insecure. So we went on a trip and I shaved down the center of my eyebrow and then I slipped and shaved the second half of my eyebrow. Like a Charlie Puth.

Off. This part was off. Like half of your eyebrow. Yes. So I only had this much of my eyebrow there. How do you fuck up that bad? This half was Lex Luthor. Because when you're an insecure girl and your sisters are like what are you literally doing

you idiot so i was like i did it super fast i was so upset and i remember coming out and my sisters were like oh my god you look hideous how long does that take to grow back forever because my mom my mom's like are there photos of you with this i don't remember i have to look here's the thing i fucked up a lot of my appearance but that's for another story i my mom was like i will take care of it don't worry about it and she put black eyeliner in the spot so i had a full half eyebrow black eyeliner but i kept smearing it so it was like yet and I think. How old were you when this happened? I don't remember. Old enough. Seven. Old enough for me to be mortified.

Oh, yeah. You thought your life was over. Oh, my life was over. And then I cut my bangs too short, and they were like, like, my life was fucked. I once, like, curled my hair up in a brush, and it wasn't a curling brush So it got stuck Oh no

When mothers would walk past they'd blind their children They'd be like don't look at her It got stuck and I was trying to curl it How do you curl it without heat So I tried to take it out And my mom had to cut it out So I had bangs that were literally here Like half an inch

For a long time. A long time. You sound like a mess. You can't bobby pin those. I don't think Ian would have been friends with you. That's the thing. I wasn't even trying to be an asshole. I wasn't even trying to be an asshole.

Like, I was wild. You sound like a mess. I was wild, man. Did you have boyfriends? Yes. In high school? Yes. You say that like mess. I was wild, man. Did you have boyfriends? Yes. In high school? Yes. You say that like there was a waiting list.

No, I mean, well, I don't know. That's for... I was boy crazy. Yes, I had a boyfriend in high school. I had a long boyfriend throughout junior to high school. And then I had... Shut up. And then I had another.

I had a boyfriend who was a skateboarder. You usually call them tall. You don't call them long. No, I didn't mean long. I meant a long time we were together. None of them were really that tall. Huh. Huh? Yeah, there was a skateboarder who had a skateboard tattooed on the side of his body and it was broken.

That's so cool. Oh my god. And you were like... i was like i love you i was like i love you yep i was i don't know i was just figuring it out the things that appeal to us when yeah did you have a girlfriend in high school no no you keep proving my point that we wouldn't hang out anyway i did not either but i was also boy crazy you were boy crazy anthony crazy you were home you didn't have the opportunity i know i mean i was out i i kind of had a like pseudo high school experience of just like actor kids

you know it kind of replicated i've talked about this before where it was similar to high school except the cool kids were like on tv shows so it's kind of like they had a basis for being cool yeah it was the entire zoe 101 cast they were they ran in the same circles as all of us and it was like well they're fucking cool because they're on zoe 101 that's too hard mine are just like skateboarders and dirt bikers who are just wearing jean shorts past their knees and i'm like i'm into you you have like really hot people on camera that's just crazy and you have

you know and you're there and you have Anthony in Sacramento and your cool ass mom who calls you a dumbass Ian's mom Ian's mom

no I wouldn't have had a girlfriend I wouldn't have had a girlfriend if I went to high school I know that okay but you got a girlfriend I didn't have a girlfriend until I wouldn't have had a girlfriend If I went to high school I know that Okay But you got a girlfriend

I didn't have a girlfriend Until I was in my 20s Yeah wow It took me forever man Wait when was your first kiss? Oh I was I was

I was 14 Oh Yeah It was like It was a truth or dare situation Oh But then I did have my first kiss When I was

I still had it when I was 14 or 15 Got it wow Nice But then like Then everything else 20s Gotcha Can you say lucky? When was my first kiss when I was, I still had it when I was 14 or 15. Got it. Wow. Nice. But then like, then everything else, twenties.

Gotcha. Did you say lucky? When was your first kiss? I was like 17. That's great. Yeah. I think, I think nowadays it's,

that's like far more. Well, nowadays like young, young people just aren't doing anything. No. It's fucking hard. I feel like, I feel like the internet, I feel like the internet has just made

social connection just so much harder. It makes me so sad. Bad. Because back when, I honestly, you know what it is? It's like,

back then, 2005, people were just bored more often. And when you're just, when everything's a little more boring, connection just kind of happens

because you're bored and it's like, oh, we're- How Smosh started. That's what you said. I mean, truly, I think the lack of boredom is what everyone's just so

I don't know I think it messes things up. You gotta be bored and horny. Yeah. And you and Anthony started your. What was your first video? And we channeled that bored and horny into Mortal Kombat theme song music video. Yeah. Where you can see my

bare ass in the background people often say food battle is the most bored and horny series of all time yeah this is why i shut the door when i'm in the bathroom okay to what so i'm in there by myself long enough to get bored and horny wow that's a long time like I urge everybody when do people usually listen to this? What? What days does this come out? I don't know if people do listen to this. On Mondays. Okay. So here's a little homework for you guys

that are over the age of 18. Just lock yourself in a room and just get bored and horny. Trust me. I think people are doing that. I don't think people are bored.

Oh, you're right. They're not bored. They're overstimulated. They need to, yeah. The horny part is not, I don't think it's necessary. I think we're talking about just getting bored. Take the distractions out of your life. Let the boredom come.

The horny will follow. So true. I'm starting a cult wow what is it called i don't know but that's going to be the tenant bored and horny by ian this is probably our best episode i'll call it b and h and h i don't think that's taken okay yeah go ahead sm Smosh is 19. This is our best episode, guys. You think so? Wow, thanks. This reminds me of the Spencer episode. Yeah, Gasly Gannity. Everything we're saying, I'm like, can we keep this in?

I don't know, but we're going to. What do you think Smosh would be like as a person? So it'd be a 19-year-old. Oh, a 19-year-old in 2005. I don't think it'd be, no, no, a 19-year-old now. Oh. What do you think Smosh would be like? Oh, yeah So it'd be a 19 year old. Oh, a 19 year old in 2005. I don't think it'd be. No, no. A 19 year old now. Oh. What do you think Smosh would be? Oh yeah, they just turned 19. I think Smosh I think Smosh would

be, I'm getting like, I was saying it's going to be like a kind of emo skater vibe from it, but no. No. No. More theater. Yeah. More theater, but like cool. But it would be it'd have to be all the eras kind of combined. No, more theater. Yeah. More theater, but like cool.

It'd have to be all the eras kind of combined. So like a theater skater kid. A theater skater kid? He's into cinema. Oh, he's super into cinema. Super into cinema. He has a lot of books. He reads a lot. He's not afraid to get a little bit vulnerable,

just a little bit. You think he's a boy? I kind of do. I kind of think so. I could see that. I could see that. But maybe he's a best? I kind of do. I kind of think so. I can see that. I can see that. But maybe he's a best friend who's a girl. Oh.

And she does like parkour and she has like big headphones and she's got tattoos everywhere and her hair is like a little bit pink. Is it platonic or is there a secret? Well, we don't know yet. We have to get to the end of the chapter. Oh, definitely platonic. Smosh doesn't fuck. Smosh is ace?

Whoa! Wait, are we calling it? Is Smosh ace? No, I don't think Smosh is ace. I think Smosh is chosen fuck. Smosh is ace? Whoa! Wait, are we calling it Smosh ace? No, I don't think Smosh is ace. I think Smosh is chosen. Oh. No! I disagree.

I think Smosh is getting into its era where it's like... Smosh is incel? I could. You think Smosh fucks? Okay, the chosen is not incel. The chosen is cell. Okay. But you just...

That's fair. Chosen is actually the opposite of an incel. I've talked about that before. Okay. Or at least in turn a lot. He chooses the path. He chooses it. An incel says it's involuntary.

Yeah. Chosen is like this. He chooses the path to never touch another person like that. Yeah. Unless for war. He's too focused. He has priority. Oh, for war?

You still need to see you still need to see god what's the name of that it's a Forrest Whitaker movie has a really Panic Room Last King of Scotland I've seen it

no I'm gonna pull it out sorry it's the most Rogue One I've seen it no it's like literally the most chosen movie

you know what I think this is what Smosh at 19 is to be honest it's a combination of Ian No, it's like literally the most chosen movie. You know what? I think this is what Smosh at 19 is. To be honest, it's a combination of Ian and Anthony is what Smosh is. It's just Ian. It's going like, oh my God, have you seen this thing? Let me show you real quick. And he's covered in tattoos.

And he's covered in tattoos. I'm going to find it. Every time I see Anthony, he has more tattoos. Yeah, he does. He had another new tattoo. It's incredible. When are you going to get a tattoo? That would be so painful.

Do you not have a single tattoo? I don't have any tattoos That's so funny Whoa Yeah I don't either So I don't know why I'm like Well

What the fuck You have tattoos Yeah Yeah All on the bottom of my feet They just say What's up girl It just says Andy

On your foot Andy I'm like, I love Woody. I love Toy Story so much. Okay. No, I don't have any tattoos. So this is the most chosen movie.

Okay. It's called Ghost Dog, The Way of the Samurai. Oh, wait. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I think I've seen this. It's the most chosen movie.

It's Forrest Whitaker and he is the chosen. I'm not kidding you. He lives by a samurai code and he's a hitman. Okay. Okay, I love that though. I don't think the chosen would be a hitman. I don't think the chosen i'm not kidding you he he lives by a samurai code and he's a hitman okay okay i love that though i don't think the chosen yeah chosen wouldn't be like the chosen like is in his room and his mom's like someone for money is just not but but but you know maybe he like has like a turn of like i think he does have a conscience he has a code he has a code he follows a code for sure

but his mom's like honey i, I made a sandwich for you. He's like, mom, hold on one second. You don't need to make me anything. We have Uncrustables. You don't need to make me anything.

Because that was a couple more years later. Yeah. So Smosh was up off the ground for two years.

Smosh was starting to pop the F off. Because Smosh at 19 has accomplished a lot. Let's be real. Smosh at 19. For sure. Yeah. Done far more than most 19-year-olds. Yep.

Yeah. Except for like Greta Thunberg, I would say. Yeah. Smosh has not caused that much change. She took like a ship to America. It's fine. What? She didn't want to fly.

Oh, right. She took like a ship. I'm like, hey, good for you. A sailboat. She did not sail. She sailed? I think she did. She said, I need to be in America.

I'm going to get on a sailboat. She didn't want to waste any gas. I mean, I think ships... I don't think she went to the U.S. in a boat. I think she... Doesn't matter. Either way. Either way.

Okay, so Smosh is impressive, not as impressive as Greta. But Smosh made an impact. Yeah, so you were 19. Okay. So 19. 19, are you guys fully doing Smosh or you still have side jobs? 2007. That was 2007.

That was just as the YouTube Partnership Program was, I think around the time that we had been invited into the YouTube Partnership Program as one of the first 10 channels to earn money. Crazy. On uploading videos. What were the other channels that were earning money? Do you remember a few of them? I remember a few of them like Lisa Nova.

I think she was in there. There's this guy Renetto. He was this like bald guy who was out of his mind. I think I don't know if Philip DeFranco was, was also in that firsthand. I don't think he was, he was called sexy Phil back then. Yeah. Wow. Lisa Nova is such a callback. Yeah. I bet. I don't know how many people know about her nowadays. I watched her content. Yeah. I mean, she did like, so Lisa Nova did like sketch comedy and was one of the founders of Maker Studios. So, you know, she exited with a few milli in her pocket, I think, when Disney bought it.

But yeah, she was also on Mad TV for like one season. Crazy. Yeah. Really? Yeah, yeah. She was like the first person to go from like internet to like mainstream. That's crazy.

That's really hard to do. Yeah. What were you doing at 19? 19 was my sophomore year in college. Okay. Were you still wearing long dresses

and had weird bangs? No, I was pretty cool. Okay. I actually did have bangs when I was 19 only because I looked last night. I was pretty cool. Okay. I actually did have bangs when I was 19 only because I looked last night. I was like,

what did I do? Only because pushing daisies was on the air. What was I looking like when I was 19? I had a very serious boyfriend. Okay. I was in a play.

I was also wild. I was like really figuring out what I wanted to do. I was living in a different what I wanted to do. I was living in a different part of campus. Yeah, I was just like figuring out my life. Did you have a girlfriend at 19?

Probably. Damn. Because, yeah. Me, married, like God, that's so crazy. Let me tell you, Shane, it is wild. When you're 19 and you have a boyfriend, your emotions are, everything is life and death. When we broke up, I was on the floor every night, sobbing like, I was so dramatic.

Nobody's ever done that to me. Really? Whoa. Not on the floor. Oh, well, that's happened to me quite a bit. I think I opened up my heart. 19, I'd still never. You should never do that.

No, I disagree with you. 19, I'd still never been in a relationship of any kind. Like truly just doing my thing. Honestly, like, and this is just coming from my point of view, so I'm probably wrong. And I'm probably, this is probably just cope. But I think, like, all the relationships, like, before, like, your 20s are just, like, just not worth it. The best.

What? The best. We have opposite. They are, literally, I was, like, a wild romantic. They are of no consequence. No, they are literally i was like a wild romantic they are of no consequence no they are literally the best there's nothing better than being like mom i'm going to my friend britney's house and then you're on the back of a dirt bike going through a quarry okay almost about to flip over and you're like i don't know who i am right now okay okay i could see i could see that sounds so that's cool i at all. It's a great conduit.

I never had that. Well. I suppose it's like a great conduit for like fun experiences, but I don't think... Fun? Yeah. More than fun.

Oh, okay. Wild. Life-changing. But like I don't think... I don't think you're having any... I don't think not a lot of healthy relationships are coming out of a... I don't think... Ergo the crying healthy relationships are coming out of a i don't think ergo the crying on the bathroom floor well that was that was just speaking relationships that age

but like i think a lot of people learn from those yeah i mean i didn't have heartbreaks i was completely on my own until i was in my 20s um which i look back and i know i'm not mad about it i'm like okay i wish i don't regret not being in relationships for so for all my teenage years and stuff i regret be beating myself up about it and being so obsessed over it back then i if i went and relived it i don't even know if i'd go and be like oh i'm gonna try to be in relationships i think i would just be like oh i'm just gonna enjoy this time more exactly and enjoy my hobbies and enjoy hanging out with my friends and doing that that's i don't think it matters if you did that or not that was just like my experience i remember i had two older sisters who went through

school and i was always their younger sister for sure so like i just everyone has a different experience that was just me i was just like i was just wild like i loved like meeting people and talking to people and even when i was a kid at like camp, like I always wanted to like talk to the fricking people like running it or like have a crush on a guy. Like my mom was on a baseball team for all older women and a, like a younger kid of one of the moms, him and I would just like hang out in the playground forever. And my mom was like,

what are you doing? I was like, we're probably going to get married. I don't, I don't know. Something's going to happen. I don't know. I think we're going to get married for sure't i don't know something's gonna happen i don't know yeah i think we're gonna get married for sure but i didn't even care about marriage i just like loved like romance yeah i don't know i like i loved it and all of my friends around me did as well so it never felt like weird and all my sisters did yeah interesting do you

ever think you're gonna get that mystic pizza moment? You know? Oh my God. I love Mystic Pizza. My aunt lives in Mystic, Connecticut. Did you ever think? Or Mystic Pizzas. Which part? What's the Mystic Pizza moment? Wait, not the... I actually don't really remember anything about Mystic Pizza.

It's about a bunch of sisters. No. I know that part. No, no, no. A bunch of sisters living in Connecticut. Julia Roberts like falls in love with this rich guy and then the other sister nannies and falls in love with the dad who's married so honestly neither okay i i forgot that was the plot of yeah i just knew it was like julia roberts has

a bunch of sisters and they're in you know the east coast yeah they're at mystic pizza which is a real place in mystic connecticut okay apparently it's amazing that's pretty cool it's really cool they're all portuguese, super cool stuff. I think when you live in a house with four girls, though, too. Yeah. It's kind of crazy. And they're all older, so you're seeing them get boyfriends? No, no, there's two older and one younger.

Got it. But the older ones, you would see them get boyfriends, and you were like, I want one of those. No. No. No. No. I'm more just, I remember writing in my journal when they were like sleeping over a friend's house or whatever,

I remember being like, I wish they were here so I could hang out with them. I don't know, I was just like, I was an emotional little wild. Everyone. Yeah, exactly.

Not me. Yeah, were you like hard as a rock? Hard as a rock. Stone. Can't get through me. Don't laugh at hard as a rock get your head pull your head out of the gutter this is such a fucked up episode i mean i was a teenager so you know that was also possible okay okay okay you know it just happens you always go you always go there just happens

you know you're in computer lab one day nope you're playing 3d pinball. And you know, you just get excited because you just hit some new high score. Whoa, yeah. Another reason why I don't think we would have been friends. I remember my friend, we had a teen center. I've heard about teen centers.

It sounds insane. A teen center? They exist out there. I don't know if they exist anymore. What is they exist anymore when you're a teenager it's a place you can go yeah it was a place you can go if you were a teen what are you doing well what are you getting giggly about i mean i was just just on the on the subject and uh we met these we met these girls at the teen center uh-huh and my friend you know got a little excited and he had to like hide it behind the pool table and he had to just like awkwardly you know just like awkwardly uh just stand against the pool table like this while he was talking to them it's it's unfortunately such a funny and real

factor of like that does suck for you guys i remember in middle school for me it was just like anytime i just i you sit down and it's just like come come the fuck on i'd be like you'd be like in social studies class you'd be like all right and you'd sit down just like go and then they'd be like hey can you stand up and come and present i'm like i can't i can't i I got a Charlie horse. We're talking about geography right now. I'm like, and I love states so much. Wow. I thought I had it hard and weird. Wait. You didn't.

We did. I think we need to outlaw the word hard. I don't know why I keep saying it in the wrong spot because I'm not meaning it like that. I thought you guys had it difficult i thought i had it difficult you guys had a difficult time every teenager has it has it difficult that shit sucks yeah being a teenager sucks ass yeah it sucks even if everything is going right in your life it's just your your brain just hates you you just feel so dramatic and i think when you're 19 i think what's hard about that is like either you're in college

or you're not in college, but you definitely have pressures from the outside world or your parents or anybody being like, what are you doing? What are you going to do? I remember at 19 feeling like,

ah, always that like anxiety of like, what am I going to do? What am I going to do? What am I going to do? Can you imagine being 19 now? No. I feel like it would now no i would i'd hate

it i'd hate it i know i think 19 year olds now i'm like i can't i wouldn't be able to handle it because we didn't have we didn't i'm so glad i'm so glad i had far less shit like yeah to have the internet that how as we have it now i'd probably be much i'd probably be much better at tiktok oh well sure well definitely because i just can't handle it man but the problem i actually you know what they've pointed this out like 19 year olds are like almost people at a much younger age have like things figured out in a lot better ways like you know uh fashion and makeup and stuff like people figure out a lot sooner because there's tutorials online yeah they never people don't really go through the blunder years like we used to. But I kind of think that's good when you

have it because everyone's like ridiculous and now it's like, oh no, you're a teenager you have to be already have it all figured out. It's hard. I think it's more pressure. It's more pressure, especially in like the vanity sense. Like it's more pressure to look a specific way. And no wonder super young

people are more lonely than ever because oh my god, the pressures are just crazy. Yep. When everybody's a little ridiculous, it's a little easier to kind of come together and just hang out. Yeah, you could easily be

just like a weird girl who's wild and doing theater and people are like, yeah, whatever, that's just Amanda. It's not like, oh my God, did you see her outfit?

Yeah. It doesn't, no, I definitely think that they have it way harder. There's so much stress and pressure. And also when you're on your phone that much too. I'm not saying that all 19 year olds are on their phone right now, but like. I think about it.

I'm like, holy shit. Like just teenagers. It's past like, it's past like decade has been just a fucking Looney Tunes. And I'm like to be a teenager through that. Yeah. That's your barometer for reality. Yeah. I'm like,

at least when I was a teenager, things were kind of, as we said, kind of boring compared to now. Oh yeah. We're a lot more chill. There was like nothing going on until like 2008. Yeah.

I don't think anything happened ever. Or if it did, we didn't really know about it. It's just like, and without the internet, you just truly, you didn't hear know about it. It's just like, and without the internet, you just truly, you didn't hear about things. Like the fact that like Numa Numa guy was a meme for like a whole year. Yeah.

Years. Nowadays, he wouldn't even go viral nowadays. Because that's like one of a million people on TikTok. Totally. That was the biggest thing. Well, and it wasn't ironic. Yeah. So it just wouldn't hit.

No. Like, oh, he's being sincere. What a loser. What a dumbass. Right. What was he being? Yeah. So it just wouldn't hit. No. Like, oh, he's being sincere. What a loser. What a dumbass. Right. What was he being? Yeah, I don't know. Who is he?

I guess I was thinking Star Wars Kid. Star Wars Kid was being very sincere. Wait, Star Wars Kid? Star Wars Kid is a chosen. That one actually makes sense. That's a chosen right there. That's one of the, that's an OG chosen. Yeah.

Ah, love that guy. I don't know. That was one of my first introductions to the internet. It was such a joy. That was viral videos before YouTube. So the only way you could really watch it was like on file sharing like sites. Yeah.

God, I remember I watched so much YouTube in college. We watched so much weird stuff. Salad Fingers and... I still need to show you Don't Hug Me, I'm Scared. Yes. Yeah, you do. I need to show you you that i don't think we can watch it on camera because that's that would be like copyrighted but but yeah your reaction to it would be incredible yeah they showed uh because they made a whole tv pilot oh really for don't hug me i'm scared yeah and it got canned, and they're not allowed to air it, but they showed it at this festival at 200 times speed. And it just finished.

Funny. I think it's deeply funny. And other people are like, oh, it's really scary. I'm like, it's really funny. All of it is really funny to me. Anyways, I'll show it to you. You're going to love it. Okay.

Ian, what do you think 19 years, what do you think, 19 years, what do you think are some of the best moments and some of the worst moments of Smosh's 19 years of life? Oh, my God. Oh, my God. I mean, the best moments were definitely times when we were able to just do something we never thought we'd be able to do. So like, you know, like when we did the first,

the first big Smosh Summer Games, like camp. Yeah. And we did camp, like that was such a unique experience where, you know, Summer Games was originally created because Smosh Games and the other parts of Smosh didn't really like interact very much. So it was like, oh, this will be a fun way to bring all the channels together. But also a bonding exercise with everybody.

It's crazy to think back on summer games, too, where nowadays this kind of big stunts are kind of normal on Smosh. Where it's like, we got 100 people and put them in this place. But back then, I don't feel like it was as common. I think it was kind of like a more interesting, nuanced thing back then. You didn't see it as often, whereas now I don't know if it's... It was more like vlogs at that time were really big. People weren't really doing large production stuff.

No. It was so much fun but then like you know like doing doing like smosh the movie was like a really cool milestone and having the premiere like at this like legitimate like theater where they do like legitimate like movie premieres like the fox theater in westwood um they like closed down a road had a red carpet it was we had we had our wax figures there oh yeah i've seen those pictures yeah it was so wild because that was in my first like month or yeah i was like i have joined a crazy there's like there's fetus photos of the whole like squad yeah like like they're like super young oh i think i've seen them because I remember seeing you with your wax figure

and is it true that you don't know where your wax figure is? I don't know where it is that's so weird to me we have to find it it's terrifying and the last time the last time I was seen he was separate from Anthony why would anyone separate you guys? I don't know that's so fucked up

from them too because they're a bonded pair I know I know I know they're a mated pair and uh and they put a vr headset on my head so you're trapped so your part of your soul is trapped somewhere with a vr headset in it like tron like tron oh like the matrix the old one the old one okay um and yeah i mean like obviously obviously like yeah one of i mean being able to buy smosh back and like see the way that like it's like re-energized everything and like that like will always be like one of like the coolest moments for sure because it wasn't it was a gamble you know it was like we don't know for sure if this will work, but it seemed like the right thing to do. And things weren't like things, things were just like a little bit off before that. And I, and I was really confident

in the content and I was really confident in the people that were working here, but like something just like was not connecting. And when Anthony came back into the fold and we made the big announcement, like I think that brought a lot of like attention back to the channels. And they were like, oh, wait, like this is good. And so, yeah, it was just kind of like right place, right time. And I think, yeah, I mean, that'll always be like i mean it's super super like highlight yeah it's huge it was so cool to be a part of too i mean those are all some good yeah good references you have worst ones oh worst ones sure uh the defy collapse i i would count

anthony leaving anthony leaving that was that was kind of a nightmare and those were those were two years apart basically anthony leaving anthony leaving and the defy collapse were about a roughly a little over a year a year and a half apart so that was like a really shitty it was a rough year year and a half yeah it was just like wow all right yeah we're trying new things and like and like for me it was like okay i i need to like redefine what Smosh is and like bring the attention to like everybody. And like make it very clear like this isn't like an Ian and Anthony thing, which it already wasn't before he left. Right. But I think people still had that idea that that's what Smosh was.

I guess I should say it wasn't shitty. It just was like every year kind of had this chaotic moment to it. Yeah, it was scary at times. It was scary. It was definitely precarious. And it was just hard. It was really hard to make sketch comedy in L.A. because of the cost.

So in Sacramento, it was easy because like our crew was, it was cheaper to produce content there. We had like a studio that we could create stuff and we can go outside and get like permits for like a hundred bucks. We can get a house for like 200 bucks. Amazing.

And you come to LA and people are like, we want like $ thousand dollars for a day rental at a house or two thousand impossible and like permits would be insane and so like then we were like relegated to like shooting all our sketches like in the offices or in like the on the stage at defy which was tiny it was crazy some of those early try not to laughs are in a room yeah that's i don't even know it's like a fraction of the size of this room like truly truly a little tiny closet that we were shooting some of those yeah um but we did it yeah and i always felt like you know we'd eventually wind up um um, you know, with our own

studio. I was always like pushing, like, when are we going to get our own studio? When are we going to get our own studio? And I was, I kept pointing to this area of LA that was not where we were, uh, because that, that time we were at the defy offices which were in beverly hills what dumb ass reason so we had so everyone had and nobody lives in beverly hills so it was the old rich dude the old rich and now we film here in barstow yeah rancho cucamonga rancho cucamonga and it's and it's great so i like it really feels like, yeah. So that was a bad time. What else was shit?

I would count this as worst time, but also good time, which was the celebrity prank interviews. I hated doing them. I was not here during that time, but I've definitely seen those videos. I did one and it was, that's probably one of the biggest rushes of my life.

Because it's cringey? You actively know that you know that your job is to make someone kind of uncomfortable and weirded out, and they're a celebrity that you are meeting for the first time. I could

never do that. And when I did it, I didn't know I was going to be doing it. So they literally were like, yeah, put on this kaiju outfit. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I've heard this. You're about to go interview them. And I was like, it was such a trip and I got very lucky and they were really cool.

But it was still... They must have been prepped. No. Yeah. I mean, they always knew that we were going to be asking them like weird questions did you so you didn't like it either i know because i get really really nervous and you had to do it with the rock i did it with the rock i did with jennifer lawrence i did it with tom hiddleston oh my god um did with chris pratt nope uh and it was just like nerve-wracking and i and i hated the lead up to it and i was so freaking nervous and like i just kind of black out like during during the actual like performance

um and like whenever i heard like oh yeah like universal reached out they want they want to do a video with this celebrity i was just just like, guys, like I, I, I, I, I don't know. I don't know. And like, even back in like the mythical era that kept getting pitched.

And I was like, I, I know. I struggled to watch those interviews even when they're normal. Yeah. I'm like, yeah. And I think like also like audience sentiment has like changed where like

cringe content isn't really like preferred anymore. Like they want you to like kind of be the avatar for them, like being there with the celebrity. And if you're being like a cringy disaster, that makes the viewer feel bad. Interesting. So I feel like we saw a shift in audience reception to those prank interviews where people are like, this is too uncomfortable for me to watch. Interesting. Yeah. Yeah.

So I'm happy to see it dead and gone, and I don't want to do another one. Okay. You won't. I'm putting it out there right now. I'm not doing another one. You won't. And now we know.

And now we know. And now we know. Because we had one planned. It's probably gonna happen. We did have one planned. We were gonna have you interview Timothee Chalamet dressed as a rat. Let's bring Barack Obama in.

Actually I would do a prank interview with Barack Obama. I feel like he'd be so cool. He'd be prepped. Timothee Chalamet. The Secret Service would prep him.

Yeah. Secret Service. Timothee Chalamet would be funny. I don't know if he has Secret Service. Timothee Chalamet would be funny. I don't know if he has Secret Service. Timothee Chalamet doesn't. When you're, yeah, you have Secret Service for life. For life?

Yeah. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. So cool. Yeah, it's pretty cool. Did you see the picture of Jimmy Carter? Yes.

Oh, man. Jimmy Carter's like 500 years old. Have you seen this photo of him? I think I know who Jimmy Carter is. What's the photo? You said you think you know who Jimmy Carter is? Yeah. I know who Jimmy Carter is.

But if you asked me to give you a definition of him right now, I would probably be like, hmm. A definition of him? He was president? Yeah. Yeah. No, I know who he is, but I don't A definition of him. He was president? Yeah. Yeah. No, I know who he is, but I don't know anything about him. You don't know, like, what, you wouldn't know what he looks like and stuff?

No. That's okay. I know what George Washington looks like. Can I show her the photo? No, don't. Let her see him in his golden age first. That's fair. Show me.

He's just so. The photo. You know when people are, like, so old. Oh, no. Like. I don't want to see one of those photos like you know everyone has that at some point in your life you have that one relative where it's like oh and and grandma judy's here and you look over to grandma judy's just like yeah he's at that stage it's like grandma judy shane's here it's like it's like it's like it's like it's like it's like

it's like it's like Clint Eastwood when you're like oh my god Clint Eastwood who's always looked old even though he looks great

whatever and now you see a picture of him even Tommy Lee Jones I can't I promise you I can't look good I've

this is something that I've internalized since I was young is when I am that old and I like you know because you just don't have many faculties left

we'll get rid of you don't worry no no no don't get, you know, because you just don't have many faculties left. We'll get rid of you. Don't worry. No, no, no. Don't get rid of me yet because I just want to be silly. I just want to, with the last ounces of my strength and mental fortitude,

I'm going to use it to be silly. So it'll be like, so when I'm like that, when I look like that, when I look like that when I look like that he's dead in this film you think he is but he's

he's still here he's still with us but when I'm like if I look like that end it no yes just push the when I'm 90

if I live to be a hundred years old and they're like oh here's grandpa Shane like say hi I'm gonna make sure with my last willpower I'm just gonna be like because that'll be funny this is these pictures are

ruining amanda right now i cannot but he was president thank you he was also he was president he's a hundred years old no i know he also he how long ago was he president forever ago in the 70s several, or at least one president after him has already passed away. Yeah. I think he's the oldest living. He's the oldest living president. Those pictures are horrendous. Because the tough part

is like, maybe it's a picnic and you have to show up and you're like, I brought cheese or whatever. And then you look over and you're like, You're just throwing cheese puffs into his mouth. Oh no, Shane. Like, I brought cheese or whatever. And then you look over and you're like. You're just throwing cheese puffs into a spill. Oh, no. Shane.

This is so awful. I don't know what happened to us. That's why he's like that. It's like a Venus fly trap. You know, you stick it in there and then it closes. It's like watching people at hibachi. You know, people at hibachi where they just open their mouths. He flipped a little egg into his mouth. Can we write a sketch where I'm the guy at a hibachi grill who once I sit down, I open my mouth and I'm waiting the entire time for the shrimp.

We're going to tell them to move on. And they're like, we haven't even started cooking. I haven't gotten your order yet. I'm just like, I'm hungry. Dude, I was in San Diego and they had, this isn't about Jimmy Carter, so I can talk about it. Okay, shut up. Don't you dare. And these people like rented like a hibachi chef on the beach.

That's insane. Like they had a table set up and he was throwing eggs in their mouth on the beach. That's insane. Like they had a table set up and he was throwing eggs in their mouth on the beach. He hadn't even cooked them yet. I was like, that's sick. It's just like... It's all the yolk.

Ian, it has been a joy. This is how we're ending it? I'm literally... We're out of time. And half of this is going to be cut. Smosh is 19 years old. And we decided to bring Ian on. Next year is going to be huge.
