And we have a very special guest with us today, Arasha. And I'm Arasha.

That's how you guys said your names. That was gorgeous. Oh, thank you. That is the proper pronunciation of your name. Yeah, I think I said it the same. What is it? And I'm Arasha. Yeah, that's how you have to say it.

That's how you have to say it. You're saying it any way other than that. You have to say it smooth and velvet. I'm Arasha. I'm a Rasha. I'm a Rasha. Although I feel like, okay, I feel like I have to very clearly say, like, I am a Rasha. I'm Rasha. Because people are always like, oh, Rasha. Or they go, Marsha.

Do people call you Marsha? Marsha is a no. Yeah, they take the M from I'm a Rasha, and they're like, oh, Marasha. Never in my life would I think you were a Marasha. Thank you. No. Marasha's just the Brady Bunch to me. Nobody's named Marasha anymore.

They could be. There's not a single person named Marasha. I can't wait for these comments. I went to college with a Marasha. Under the age of 50. I can't wait for these comments. I hope we have listeners who are named Marasha. That'd be so cool.

Like the Bettys. I think Marasha's a great name. I just don't think who are named Marsha. That'd be so cool. Like the Bettys. I think Marsha is a great name. I just don't think it exists. Sylvia. Like, you know, like the Tasmanian tiger. I'm just like, that's cool. They don't exist. Yeah.

Those are older names. Yeah. They couldn't afford our names. Are you talking about the Tasmanian devil? No, no. The Tasmanian tiger. That's extinct. Yeah, totally.

Anyways, look how competitive we're getting because we love competition. Nice. You did it. Wow. You know what I want? I want a bunch of clips of us at Smosh Mouth just trying to put the title in perfectly. It happens. Oh, I see.

Or the segues. Yeah, like our journals where I was like, you know what I tried to save or what I wanted to save when I had to evacuate? My journal. Yeah. Journals. It was so brilliant. It was very smooth.

I see. I roasted it for it. No, it was really bad. Nice. Yeah, we're talking about competition today. The Super Bowl is coming up. Super Bowl. And I am one of two people in this office who's excited about it.

Do you watch sports? Yeah. I was actually at the game last night. What? The Clippers-Celtics game. You like basketball a lot. I love basketball too. I like basketball. It's definitely the sport that I find most entertaining to watch, I think.

I like baseball. Call me a weirdo, but I like baseball. How much do you watch baseball? So when I brought H to the Red Sox game for his first time, I used to go all the time as a kid. I got addicted to the season. I was watching them. I was watching the Dodgers.

And I was getting really, really attached. And then I just stopped because the season is done. So I wouldn't turn on. I wouldn't be like, oh, it's a regular night. I'm going to turn it on. But if I'm going to a game, I really like going to a game. But since I moved out of Boston, there hasn't been a stadium or a place that I'm really into. Unless I go see football.

Like, football. H and I went to Bank of California a lot, and that was super, super fun. LA Galaxy, we really liked that. That I'm really into, but as far as football, like football, like America football, I don't know. That's okay.

I went to the new arena last night, which I was pretty into. What was it called? The Intuit Dome. No. No, it really was pretty into. What was it called? The Intuit Dome. No. No, it really is called that. Because people are into it? I was into it. And guess what I ate? Guess what I ate? Guys, guess what I ate? In-N-Out.

Hot dog. I got a hot dog. That's awesome. Of course, you always have to get a hot dog at the game. Oh, yeah. I feel like food at basketball games is somehow better than football games. I don't know why like basketball is like the food just always feels really good yeah yeah you're also in an enclosed space and so things just feel a little better yeah i don't know football when i've gone to like stadiums

you're like outside you're exposed it almost feels like camping a little bit i've never been to a football game i really want to tailgating we used to tailgate because Patriots Place was 10 minutes from where I grew up. So we used to go tailgating and my mom bets on the Patriots still to this day. And we would go and you were in. She's betting on them to win? I don't know what she's betting. I don't think so. I think she ended the winning part when Tom Brady left.

But when you tailgate. He's retired. Honey. He's an announcer now. He's retired. Honey. He's an announcer now. He's divorced. Yeah. From Giselle. So many things happened to Tom Brady. Like he left the Patriots great.

But he's divorced. Oh my gosh. I need to read up on that. He's only. He's all football now. I know exactly a place where you can go. People. People.com.

God. Done. They're on it. Done and done. But yeah. Tailgating at the Patriots was like being in an ice storm with a bunch of people you didn't know and eating like a lot of soup and drinking a lot of beer. You had to like gear up. So East Coast football fans are fully psychotic. Yeah, I know.

Because they show like footage from like Green Bay, Buffalo or like Jets and Patriots. And there's dudes just shirtless. It's like negative five degrees, and they're out there fully painted, basically naked in this weather. Guess I got to get into football now. Okay. All right. I want to be shirtless. You can do that anytime.

Yeah, but I want to be shirtless with like soup and beer. You can have soup and beer and be shirtless in your apartment any day. You should be a Viking. I think that's their entire thing. Yeah, but I want to be shirtless with soup and beer and be around other like shirtless guys. I think that's Germany. Yeah. I think that's just what Germans

do all the time. Okay. Alright. I'll take that. I'd go to Germany. Yeah. Oktoberfest I think is that. Go on your own. What? No, I'm just i'm just kidding you can go with friends okay i'll go with you all right topless in germany in october i think people would i think germany would all fall to their on their face i think everybody wants that I think the world is not ready. Okay. Know what I'm saying? Sure, sure, sure, sure.

Soup and beer. Maybe only one of us can go and we have to compete for that spot. And that would be in the clip. Shane had no idea. Shane was like, we're going to talk about sports. And I've got this. We got this. Yeah.

I mean, look, i think most of our listeners probably care more about this than me talking about football who wants to see shane shirtless eating soup i've lots of people probably i'm at a carnival they're like whoa kids are crying they're like, whoa! Kids are crying. They're like, ah! No! Mommy! Okay, so, but you guys both haven't kept up with NFL this year, right? Definitely not. No, not at all. All right, because I would like not to spend too much time on this, because I know most of our listeners probably don't care.

But I want us to make some predictions for the Super Bowl. Okay. Because right now, as of recording this, the AFC and NFC championships haven't happened. So there's four teams in the running. So the semifinals are this weekend. Because I know who won last year. Kansas City. They've won two years in a row. Because it was rehearsed.

So this year, it's high stakes. It's high stakes because a team is never three-peated. Three-peated? Three-peated? Three-peated. What a name. So the Chiefs are going for it, right? Teams have won two Super Bowls in a row. Nobody's won three Super Bowls in a row.

Damn. Are you sure? I'm sure. Trust me. I'm sure. It's staged to be that way. The Chiefs are going for it. The Patriots almost did it twice, I think.

With Tom and Gronk. With Tom and Gronk. With Tom and Gronk. But they're going for it. The Chiefs are. There's also the Bills, who have been a cursed organization, right? They, at one point, went to the Super Bowl four years in a row and lost all four times. Just abysmal. Who is their quarterback?

Josh Allen. And he's awesome. You met him? What? I've he's awesome. You met him? I've never met him. Cut to picture of both of them shirtless with soup. That'd be awesome. You're forgetting the beer. That's really the part.

So every year, this is also an NFL thing. Every year there is a villain and a hero. It's just a thing that happens where everyone's like, that's the hero this year. We want him to win. There's no logic to it. But Josh allen is the unequivocal hero it was him and lamar jackson lamar jackson lost because josh allen and him had to face off and it was tragic it was like shakespearean it's like our two heroes have to i believe that football is shakespearean it is a story but josh allen josh allen is playing the chiefs this weekend And the Chiefs have beaten him

So many times Who's the villain on the Chiefs? He's not necessarily He's a villain now Right? There was a time When Patrick Mahomes Was the hero

Selena is crying laughing Because this is all true Alexina's the other person Who likes football He's catering to us He's doing it In a very theatrical way And I love it

Patrick Mahomes was at one point The hero Because Tom Brady was the villain Oh And now Patrick Mahomes Has won too much the hero because Tom Brady was the villain. Oh. And now Patrick Mahomes has won too much, which means he's the villain. That's how sports work. I'm fine with that. As soon as you win too much, you're the villain.

People.com are talking about him too much. This is the thing. Patrick Mahomes is the best quarterback in the league. He is. He just is. But a skill that he has that people hate is he's really good at drawing penalties. He's very smart. So he knows how to play the game where you're going to get a foul on trying to tackle him or something. In the past game, he was running out of bounds, but right before he got out of bounds, he kind of stops.

So then the guy pushes him. It didn't get called for a penalty, but it looks bad. Villain activity. But he's just so smart. He's really smart. How old is he? Because he seems like a baby. He's like, it looks bad. Villain activity. But he's just so smart. He's really smart. How old is he? Because he seems like a baby. He's 29, I think. But he started when he was probably

24? 4 years old or something. Yeah, they start when they're like 4. So anyways, there's Patrick Mahomes, there's the Buffalo Bills, there's the Eagles, who they went to the Super Bowl a couple years ago, didn't win. They won the Super Bowl like 10 years ago. They did Hotel California. And they did Hotel California. Those are the ones with the really crazy fans too, right?

Eagles fans are notoriously insane. Eagles is Philadelphia. Yeah. Eagles is Philadelphia, yes. Awesome. Bills is Buffalo. Buffalo. Buffalo Bill.

And then Kansas City is Kansas City. Yeah, of course. Not Kansas. What? I know. The hell? It's not Kansas. My brother-in-law must think I'm an idiot because he is from Kansas.

Wait, this isn't a bit? No. And last year during the Super Bowl, I was like, dude, you did it. Oh, my God. This is not. You went to Oz and you did it. Oh, my God. This is not. You went to Oz and you did it. This is not a bet. Oh, no.

You're going to have to make some calls. It's okay. I mean, it's close to Kansas. No. Wait a second. People in Kansas. He's from Kansas City. So that means he's actually from Missouri?

Are you finding out you have family in Missouri and not in Kansas? Is there also a Kansas City in Kansas? No, no, no. It's real. It's real. in Kansas? Is there also a Kansas City in Kansas? No, no, no. It's real. It's real. Okay, no. There's a Kansas City in Kansas. There's a Kansas City in Kansas also.

Thank you. It's confusing as shit. Scott is a good person. And that's why they win is because nobody knows where they are. Okay. He's from Kansas. He's from Kansas City, Kansas. Are you sure?

Positive. But he loves the Chiefs. Yeah. That's where. People in Kansas like the Chiefs. Hey, it's not me. It's that. Yeah. Okay. It's where. People in Kansas like the Chiefs. Hey, it's not me. It's that. Yeah.

Okay. It's the names. Why would they call it that? So Missouri is crushing it. Well, and Kansas. It's. You're allowed to like people. Fan bases are in multiple states.

There were a ton of Celtics fans. Kansas, the state doesn't have a team. So they. Okay. So Kansas City is in Missouri. But Kansas. People from Kansas are like, yeah. Yeah. I'm into it.

That's kind of like, that's kind of how things were. A lot of people in Utah like the Broncos because like Utah is close to Colorado. It's like. Right. You're going to find that. You like the Broncos. Yeah. My family's all about the Broncos.

And they got to the playoffs and they lost. The Bills beat them. And the Broncos were not good enough to win. I want to drive a Bronco. They're cool looking. They are. Drive it real slow on the highway for a while. Anyways.

Nice. The other team, the last team, is the Commanders, which nobody expected to get where they are. And they have a rookie quarterback. And a rookie quarterback has never gone to the Super Bowl. Whoa. But their quarterback, Jaden Daniels, is a machine. He's really good.

Where are the commanders from? D.C. Okay, so the commanders. That's in Washington. Yes. Are you a conspiracy theorist? Washington, D.C. I just believe all sporting events are staged.

Go on. Okay. You're going to. Okay. Nice. People think that. They talk about the script. Okay.

Commanders, chiefs. Bills. Bills. Eagles. Eagles.. People think that. They talk about the script. Okay, commanders, chiefs, bills, eagles. All right, so... They're all four going to the Super Bowl. Only two are going to the Super Bowl. No, I know that. The four of them are in the semifinals. Yeah. Only two of them can go.

When do we figure out what date? Well, the Super Bowl is in like three weeks. February. So soon. But this is coming out. This episode is a few days before the Super Bowl, or about a week before the Super Bowl is in like three weeks. February. So soon. But this is coming out. This episode is a few days before the Super Bowl or about a week before the Super Bowl. So we will know. But we're recording this right before, like in a couple days, the championships that will determine who goes.

Okay. So we have four options. I think we should predict. My prediction, about a week ago here in the office, we all wrote down predictions of who's going to go before the first round of divisionals. And everybody lost. Almost everybody lost because everybody picked the Lions or the Rams or the Vikings. And everybody was abysmal. I am the only one who picked the Chiefs to win because this is how it goes.

I was going to say the Chiefs. The Chiefs are going to win the Super Bowl. And I hope and I say it because I hope I get to watch this episode and go, oh, I was wrong. But I'm not going to be wrong because this is how this shit goes. Because it's? It's going to be the Chiefs and the Eagles and the Chiefs are going to win. Okay, you think it's going to be the Chiefs and the Eagles

and the Chiefs are going to win. That's just how it's going to be. It's not what I want. I want the Bills to go want I want the Bills to win But that's not going to happen Because that's what we want to happen And NFL and sports in general Are about your dreams getting crushed

Any sports fan will tell you that Any sport Go over to Europe and talk to any football fan They're like yeah our dreams have been crushed for 200 years That's how football works. Such an awesome way to spend your time. I love that. It's fun.

Because eventually, once in a lifetime, a miracle happens. Yeah. And your team wins. And it's insane. The curse of the Bambino, the Red Sox. Truly. No, I know. My grandmother cried.

Yeah. It's insane. She wasn't alive then, was she? I don't know. Nothing happens. You just move on with your day. You just move on with your day move on with your life yeah i do have so when the broncos finally won a super bowl when i was a kid in the 90s they had sucked or they hadn't sucked but they just never had won a super bowl for like decades and then when they finally won a super bowl i wasn't like aware of

what it what mattered about it. I wasn't watching sports, but we, our house was fully decorated with blue and orange. We had a full on party because they won the Superbowl. That's cute. It's like insane. So as a kid, I'm like,

Whoa, what holiday is it? Right. That makes sense to me. I feel like it has more to do with like, and for some reason it feels like an individual win of some sorts like i feel like you invest yourself in a team and then you know you kind of take on uh their wins and their losses for yourself i was like i was laughing yesterday at the game because they're you know obviously

fans are like cheering and stuff but there was like a guy like way in the back and he was just like clapping and he was like it's all right it's all right and i was like they can't hear you but that's for him it's so it's all right it's all right it's all right it's all right dude it's all for them it's all for them but it but it's so fun it's very fun no it's you you have to be aware after a game of like none of this matters like i will never let a loss like affect my day like the broncos will lose i'll be like that sucked anyways yeah but so so many people are bad and i when i went to the red socks so many people were like what are you doing how dare you like what the fuck are they doing yeah i don't know what's going on with them i don't know what's

going on with them and it's like so you don't know these men personally but you know what's going on with them I don't know what's going on with them So you don't know these men personally But you know what I love I get like ramped up It's hard not to get I tell you why I get so invested Because you're watching someone And this is all sports

I feel the same way when I watch the Olympics This is someone's entire goal And you're watching them Maybe achieve it when I watch the Olympics, is I'm like, this is someone's entire goal in life. And you're watching them maybe achieve it. And you know that they probably won't. The chances are never in your favor. So when they do, it's such a rush. Even if it's not your team.

It doesn't matter, it's addicting. When I watch the Olympics, I get so in. Where I'm like, we gotta fucking do this. I'm like, this is his last shot. You got to stick that landing. If he doesn't get this, look at his coach. Look at his coach. He is going to leave him.

Like, I understand fandom for sports. Like, it is, when I start to get into it and I, like, start to follow the teams, you get so invested. Oh, yeah. I love it. I love it. I kind of love it, too. I just, for some reason, football, I think it's because I don't exactly know, well, I don't know how to play.

And I've tried. My mom has tried to teach me so many times. And I just, my mind isn't, like, attracted to it as much as, like, basketball or baseball. I also don't know how people follow more than one sport. I'm like, I gotta pick one. It's too much time to pick another. I also don't know how people follow more than one sport. I'm like, I gotta pick one.

It's too much time to pick another. I kind of lightly follow basketball, but I'm like, there's not enough time.

What was really funny about last night, actually, is we, you know, the Intuit Dome was actually quite empty last night. There were a lot of empty seats. And so security was pretty lax about being like, you know, you can move up if you want.

You can go play. Yeah, get on the court. Go for it. If you're into it, you can go into it and get into it. And we got into it. Go try to dunk. But we ended up going into the wall. You familiar with the wall?

No. I actually don't think I know this. It's this Clippers fandom section only. But it was very empty. So we were like, we should go in there so we went it was it was me and two other people we went down and we were like walking down and all three of us were wearing celtics merch and they're like yo like you can't wear green like you can go if you want but like you have to take off like all of your celtics merch i love that so we were like okay deal so

we like took off all our stuff but we we were wearing, like, the championship shirt. Okay, for better seats. Sorry. No. This was practice. But they were like, we have shirts that we can give you to put over it. So they just gave us these, like, white shirts that say the Intuit Dome. So we have Intuit Dome merch now.

And we, like, go down. And we're, like, we're sitting, like, now pretty, like, up close. But security, like, comes over. And they start, like, monitoring the wall. And we go down and we're sitting now pretty up close, but security comes over and they start monitoring the wall and they're watching us for when we're cheering. So now. What? That's so funny. So the entire game, it's like the Celtics would score

and we'd be like, yeah, no, shit, I'm so mad. And security gets out their tasers. They're like. They were literally standing right near us. So the Clippers would score and we'd be like, yes. You couldn't cheer for the team? No. That's so funny. I wouldn't have moved to the wall.

That is so funny. It was very heavy on like the Clippers brand. So it was like, that was the bit we had the entire time. We were like the Intuit dome. We love the Intuit dome. We just love the dome. We're here it was like, that was the bit we had the entire time. We were like, the Intuit Dome, we love the Intuit Dome. We just love the Dome, we're here for the Dome, dude. Exactly, and then at the end, the Celtics won after overtime,

so we took off the Intuit Dome shirts, like right in our seats, and all the Clippers fans were like, that's just rude, and just like purposefully were like, get out of here. Like, what are you doing? And we were like, our bad, our bad. And we got out. Whoa. Yeah.

That's Diablo. You like went through a whole journey last night. Oh, yeah. Got to make it exciting. I don't think I would go to the wall. I think I would be like, nah, I'll sit very far away and cheer for the Celtics. That's loyal.

We just, you know. I'm also from Boston. And I know you went to school in Boston. I'm from Boston, too. She says she's loyal. I'm also from Boston. And I know you went to school in Boston. I'm from Boston, too. She says she's from Boston. Everyone's from Boston. She's not from Boston. But she is.

I'm from Boston. I'm in Boston. Rosh and I go through this a lot. Boston. Harvard. Boston. Okay. No.

I want to move on to halftime performance really quick. Oh, we love that. But first, just pick a team. I know you don't want to. I already said Chiefs. You think the Chiefs? And you know what? Commanders.

You're going to go with Commanders? Yeah. I want this rookie quarterback to get in there. I'm going to be real honest. There's a part of me that's like, I think that could happen. Chiefs versus Commanders. I think watching the games, he's a rookie. He that's like, I think that could happen. Chiefs versus Commanders. I think watching the games, he's a

rookie. He's brand new to the NFL and it's scary how good he is. And they show him on the sidelines in the middle of these heated moments where it's like, oh shit, the other team's up by seven. You've got to get a touchdown. And they show him on the sidelines and he's just sitting there like completely unfazed. The machine. I think he

was an android built by the government to win football games. I love that. I am with you with that. The technology is going to be there someday where that's going to happen. And there's going to be an android that's going to be like, is this one the android that's winning football games?

I can't. They're all plants. I just think he could be because he's too good. Okay, well, I think it's the Chiefs with the commanders, with the human rookie. So you think it's the Chiefs with the Commanders, with the human rookie for now. So you think it's the Chiefs versus Commanders, and the Chiefs are going to win? Yeah.

Okay, Arasha. Because Taylor Swift's backing them. Because I'm saying Chiefs, Eagles, Chiefs win. The Chiefs are definitely going to be in the mix because that is just what's going to make everybody more money. I hope we're so wrong. It's going to be so fun to rewatch this episode if the bills are in it. I'm going to love it.

I'm going to be looking at the screen just telling myself I'm an idiot. I'm going to love it. I'm going to be like, Shane, you're so fucking stupid. You're so wrong. Shane, my goodness. I feel like America loves the coming-of-age story, so they've probably written the commanders in. Versus? Versus the chiefs so that they can get money.

So you say commanders over chiefs? Yeah, I think they're going to win. But I don't know. I don't have the script. No, that's OK. This is all fun. Nobody has fun. The refs do. OK, but the real fun prediction is a halftime show.

Do we not know who's performing? It's Kendrick Lamar. It's Kendrick Lamar. Oh, okay. Kendrick Lamar, but who's going to be the guest? Drake. That would make them a lot of money. It's like plus 9,000 odds right now.

So you could make a lot of money if you bet on that. I don't know. I don't know if he'll be there. I do think a lot of beef that's in the public is not real. I think it's like to get things out there. But I don't know if he'll be there. I do think a lot of beef that's in the public is not real. I think it's like to get things out there. But I don't know. Their beef might be pretty. Their beef's pretty rough.

Their beef's pretty rough. It's not like he was just like, your music sucks. Like, Kendrick went pretty hard on Drake. I don't think Drake wants to go out there and showcase that. I think I was, you know, half kidding. Ha ha. So I don't know. I don't know if Drake will be in the halftime show.

Let me cook on it. Maybe the beef was like heightened in the eye of the public and it wasn't that crazy. Because I agree with you too. I also think that that could have been staged. Make that prediction.

If it happens, that's insane. My crazy prediction, my realistic one is Lil Wayne. That makes sense to me. Lil Wayne's going to come out. My crazy prediction My realistic one is Lil Wayne That makes sense to me Lil Wayne's gonna come out My crazy prediction? Taylor Swift No No Because when the Chiefs go to the Super Bowl

She's gonna be in her box And she's gonna be there Suddenly the Taylor Swift cam's gonna appear And she's gonna be gone Where'd she go? Is she not here supporting Travis? And then all to appear and she's going to be gone. And they'd be like, where'd she go? No, no, no. Is she not here supporting Travis? And then all of a sudden she's on stage. She's sad too.

Who is this? Is that a reporter? No, her tour ended. She's tired. Actually, she's probably never tired. I don't think she's ever tired. Now you're making me think. No, she's tired.

But I think she's just too big for the Super Bowl still. No way. Beyonce did the Super Bowl. Well, yeah, but I think she's just like, I'm pretty sure she's said that she's like nowhere near close to doing the Super Bowl. Like she wants to do that way later in her career. Okay. I think it might be Shakira and JLo and they're going to have two polls and they're just going to get it going. What if that happens?

Kendrick Lamar is going to be there and Shakira is just going to be pole dancing. And I loved that. You guys remember that? Yeah. No, that's not my prediction. happens kendrick lamar is gonna be there and shakira is just gonna be pole dancing and i loved that you guys remember that yeah um no that's not my prediction this is me just having fun with kendrick lamar sza yeah that's that's a very realistic that's a very realistic that that actually makes the most sense it could be cool all right sza is on a 10 day retreat right now did you know that no about her phone what yeah she texted me and i was like hey you're not supposed to have your phone we're all gonna be bummed when we're all wrong and it's imagine dragons no it is not gonna be a dining in the

listen honestly it kind of go hard i'm just yelling that. Okay. Do we think, I think, because was it last year when they had a bunch of people there? Like, was it like Dre and Eminem? It was Rihanna. It was Rihanna. No, not, okay. Oh, I know. You're talking about a few years ago where it was like everybody.

So do we think it's going to be Kendrick Lamar, like maybe with one guest? Or do we think it's going to be like- There'll be a few, but I'm just throwing out one. I like I can see Lil Wayne as well yeah I think Lil Wayne makes sense um so I want to move on to talking more about competition here at Smosh now that we've gotten our predictions for the Super Bowl we've gotten all that stuff out of the way thank goodness um but before I get into talking about competition around here at Smosh I wanted to bring up something I meant to bring this up at the top of the pod. Some of our predictions have already come true. We made a bunch of 2025 predictions,

and like four of them have already happened. So first one. Wow, a month in. I know. Yeah. So our fans, it turns out, they're determined more than we expected. I made a couple like fan request predictions.

One of them was, I think I want to see a chosen at a wedding. I want someone to dress up as the chosen and go to a wedding. And I was like, this maybe won't happen. Maybe not until the summer. I knew it was going to happen. I was like, let's wait.

It's not the groom though, right? It's not. That would be hilarious. The bride and groom clearly approved of this and were okay with this. A user on Reddit posted on our Smosh subreddit IndependentDig9881

The Chosen was at a wedding. Look at that. Bride and groom right there. Look at that. And he has a sword. I know. He has what looks like a real sword. I think he has a sword I know he has what looks like a real sword I think he has a real sword A real katana

He should have officiated the wedding Maybe he did He knights them You guys are chosen So thank you for doing that That's epic as hell Happened within a couple weeks of the year Impressive

And then also I said, someone's going to watch Smosh Mouth in Antarctica. And I was like, come on, this is not going to happen. And it did happen. Yep. User RTJ All Day, Robert Towney Jr. All Day. Okay. Posted this in Antarctica.

Aw. Watching Smosh Mouthouth How sick is that? So sick Can't believe it There's only I think At any given time A couple thousand people In Antarctica

And you have to You have to be invited Like on an expedition You can't like Just go to Antarctica No I don't think you can But didn't we say When you predicted that

That we were like No I think there are people. There are people all over the world who watch Smosh. Oh, yeah. But I think there are some. You said we'd be watched in 100 countries. It turns out 129 or something like that. So my prediction was pretty right.

Your prediction was already true, which is a solid way to make goals. Yeah. Set goals that you've already accomplished. Or put it on other people to go do it for you. Yeah. And then, Amanda, you to go do it for you. Yeah. And then, Amanda, you predicted that there'd be a protein soda. It exists. What?

Look at this. Wait a second. Protein soda. It's called oof. Wait. Once again, Amanda, predicting things that are already true. It literally is called protein soda. There you go.

And why does it look like Grecian? O-E? Why do you think they're so good at pancreation? It's from their protein soda. Wow. 10 grams of protein in a soda? That's actually not... It's kind of weak numbers there.

I feel like I don't want that. Nobody wants that. I can't believe that. I can't believe that. I was like, oh, there's going to be a protein soda. I just feel like it's gonna smell like meat oh probably oh ew okay i can't wait for the year of whatever animal we choose yeah oh so i have a i'm gonna cook up some more predictions because our fans accomplish too much too fast okay but i have one request that i'm putting out there now that i want our fans to accomplish for us uh my initial one i was thinking i was like i really want someone to show

smosh mouth to a monkey i want a photo of a monkey or ape uh watching smosh mouth but they need to be looking at the screen while smosh mouthouth is playing. Okay? I need that photo. And then I also started thinking, you know what? Start sending us photos. Post it on our Reddit or send it to our accounts all over on Smosh. Of any animals watching Smosh Mouth. Now, dogs and cats, pets, that's great. We'll take it. We'll take it.

I've definitely seen people's dogs watching our shows. But how wild can the animals get, you know? Can an elephant watch Smosh Mouth? You're going to get some people jumping into a freaking... Be safe about it. Yeah, be safe about it, people. I want the animal to genuinely be interested. I don't want them to be scared.

Monkeys, you're safe as bet then. I think monkey... I love this. Someone can get a monkey to watch Smosh Mouth. And if we can get every kind of monkey. I mean, I'll take these photos. I'll put them up behind me here. If by the end of the year we can have a bunch of animals watching Smosh Mouth.

People are going to be going ham to do this. Dude. I think orangutans would enjoy our show. They'll go to pigs too. Pigs? Pigs for sure. I'll take a pig. Cows?

Yeah, because we made a prediction of You know how like Mudang was And Pesto the penguin Mudang was the hippo You know how they were like Oh yeah yeah yeah Animals of the year So we were making predictions

For like the animals of this year You said elephant I said elephant and giraffe No I said sloth and giraffe Oh people have been loving sloths though I know That was like the quirky thing to do

I didn't open up this for criticism You know Back to competition real quick Because I want to talk about Competition here What have you guys ever competed in? You know I actually Was in the NFL

Amanda? No it's true You know, I actually was in the NFL. Amanda? No, it's true. Yeah, go on. The National Forensics League. Wow. Are you making this up? I'm being complete. We need a safe word, you guys, because I feel like every time I come on here, you guys ask me if I'm making it up.

I just trust everything fully here. That's how podcasters work. Safe word. Protein soda. Deal. National Forensic League. National Forensics League. Protein soda.

Okay. What's the National Forensics League? Okay. So now, I think while I was in it in high school, the name changed to the NSDA, which is now the National Speech and Debate Association. For a second there, I really thought that this competition league you were in was like, guys, we found a dead body. Whoever can figure out who murdered him first wins. Yeah.

That's not forensics. No, and you're not alone in that. You're not alone. I really was like, forensics? Forensics is fingerprints, you know, carpet fibers. Come on. Yeah. Okay.

So it's switched to, so it was always speech and debate. It was always speech and debate. I don't know if that is the main reason that they switched it. I mean, obviously with the NFL overall is a very confusing name. But when I entered the activity, that's what it was. That was where we were like recording our stats and everything. And it was the NFL. Okay.

So speech and debate. the nfl okay so speech and debate how good were you at speech and debate uh i mean i don't want to toot my own horn but i had i had a pretty successful like senior year i would say yeah leading you'd be good to it thank you well again like the very confusing part of it that i always have to clarify is that it's not debate um and it's it's honestly like really not even like speech much. It's like, we're just kind of hanging out. It's more of like the dead bodies. It's more of it's competitive acting. So it's another name for it is oral interpretation. It's such a niche activity, right? It's like, if you were involved in it, you're like, oh, i know it patrick was in it um so he and i

talked about it this is in college it's in high school there is a college league i didn't participate in but high school is like where it's just acting so one side is like and that's why i think government should be smaller and then it cuts over to you and you just go fuck you How dare you? My mother! Arasha wins. It's basically like a completely different category altogether. There's different events that you, I guess, enroll

in. So there's dramatic interpretation, humorous interpretation, there's duo, duet acting. Who's judging the humorous interpretation? So basically what you do to get involved with it is you take a play or a movie a tv show a book or something and you interpret it into 10 minutes so you cut out certain things you make it like a 10 minute performance and then you know you go you get off book you have blocking and everything and it's like your own little a 10 minute performance. And then, you know, you go you get off book, you have blocking and everything. And it's like your own little like 10 minute solo performance of this story.

And then every weekend there are tournaments in which you go to different high schools. You dress up in a full suit and you have multiple, starting from preliminary rounds into the final rounds, where you compete against other high schoolers, and judges judge you from one to six, based on who was the best and who was the worst in the round, and you advance all the way into the finals. Do you ever edit your thing as you go on, or does it stay the same? I mean, you can, but it's kind of just like if you've rehearsed

something, like you should continue to do that. You could certainly make adjustments if you're like, oh, that like line that I had, they didn't laugh in the last room that I performed it. I'm going to do it this way. Like that's totally fine. You can make your little in the moment adjustments, but it's like a live performance in front of the judge, in front of everybody else in the round. By yourself. By yourself.

By yourself. And then when you advance, obviously other people have been eliminated from the tournament. So the rooms increase in, you know, size, like more people are watching you. So then it's local tournaments,

but then there's also state and then nationals. And so those are like thousands of people watching. I'm the national movie interpreter. Yeah. Yeah. That is so weird. Did your high school also have like regular debate? Yeah.

So those people had to have been like, God damn it. So the thing. So that's where it is even more complicated is debate is also a part of it. There are going on? There is another set of events, but it's for specifically the debate side where you can do like Lincoln Douglas and extemporaneous speaking and like different debate events.

But usually you're on one side or the other. You're either doing interp or you're doing debate. Where does forensics come into play? Forensics is the name of speech and debate. It's another name for it. It has nothing to do with true crime. No, but it's just commonly associated with autopsies, so people

make the joke of forensics. Whoa! This is wild! I'm back to thinking you're lying about all this. I have photos. I have videos of my performances. I'm back to thinking you're lying about all this. I have photos. I have videos of my performances. It's too specific. I can tell. I know I can tell.

It's too specific. Oh, my God. It's very specific. I feel like we've talked about this before, too. Again, Patrick and I have had lengthy conversations, because when you're involved in it, you're like very heavily in it. Wow. Okay.

Okay, well, that's awesome. Amanda, what did you do i as you were talking i a memory popped in about a competition that i did that i think i blacked out forever um well i did growling sunday company which i feel like was like all eight eight year competition but not really long term of things but really i did this competition and i completely forgot about it until you were just talking about it. So in my town, there's a there's a there's a place close to me, Rhode Island. You guys know Rhode Island. I love Rhode Island. Family guy. OK, yeah, there they when I was kind of working in the news, but not yet.

And I've just got out of college and i was like oh i'll be a reporter they had a very small channel like i i want to say it was channel five but that's too big like they had like because news reporting channels are on a number scale right so channel five channel four those are top but you can have like channel like 28 or whatever and it is like right channel 60 and you're like in the middle of nowhere by yourself. So there was like a good local channel in Rhode Island. It wasn't Providence. It was like Cranston maybe.

And it was a local radio station. And they had a competition for the newest news reporter. A competition. Yep. You have to go to the most news. Who is the newest news reporter a competition yep you have to go to most news who is the like they were going to hire a brand new news reporter based on and i'm talking like you know how like american idol when people line up outside and they're all waiting in the cold i did that for hours whoa and i remember i got like my suit ready and I didn't really want to do it But I was like I have to yeah, you know when you're like out of college You're like my like there's an open call. You must go and it's like I have to do this

I should in your brain. Were you the newest? No, no been doing it too long. No, so I waited, I mean it was all day, hours and hours. And by that time you'd been a news reporter for a day. 24 hours. Someone else just showed up. All freaking day. Damn. I don't even know what they were looking for

because it was all ages. And then we had to go through these judges and present really cool facts about us, really cool stories, almost like when we almost died stories. Sob stories. Yeah, sob stories. And I remember being so mad at myself because my story was about scuba diving

and they were like, oh, nice. And I remember being like, fuck. I should have said I almost fell off a mountain. No, people were. And I was like, I'm not interesting enough. Like, what? And I had this whole, it actually like hurt me more than it helped me. And I definitely didn't win at all.

Like, I was just too nervous. I was too in my head. I wasn't like playful at all. And then, so I didn't win. But there was a girl who was like a little bit younger than me. And I remember seeing her on the news. And I was like, God damn her. And that girl?

Katie Couric. No, it's not. I don't know where she is now. That's crazy. I mean, that's what competition does, right? That woman, Diane Saw That woman Diane Sawyer Diane Sawyer I feel like

Enrolling in These kinds of Competitions These contests Often times When it is Just showing up As yourself

And if you don't Win Or advance In any way It can kind of Make you internally Reflect and be like Am I enough

I'm awful I suck I'm not talented'm awful. I suck. I'm not talented enough. I don't think it genuinely... I think there are some people who are built for it and it actually helps them and makes them stronger. But for me, competitive things like that

was just not helpful. Did you not play sports at all? I did. I did. I was a pitcher in softball. Whoa. Oh yeah, I was hardcore played softball. You turned into Sarah Christ out there. Well, they had a nickname for me. They used to call me Hollywood because I would be, if I was ever

put in the outfield and I was like, oh, this is a bummer, I would sing. I would just sing out there. No, you wouldn't. And I was just like No Not you singing I was like I hated the outfield So anytime you put me out there I hate the outfield

I'm just gonna sing And they're like Alright Hollywood Get in here That's so funny So pitcher I was pitcher I didn't do swim team

But I like did a I was put in a lot of Overnight camps So I was like Hardcore doing swim Cool In the overnight camps, so I was hardcore doing swim in the overnight camps. And was terrible at basketball, not good at soccer. Yeah. Wow.

You gotta be easier on yourself, girl. Piano's not a competition. Yes it is, trust me. Piano's art. To get in the right church, it's a competition in my town. In addition to that too, it's also subjectivity, right, with all of these

contests. Like, sometimes it's, like, an objective win, especially with sports. It can be, like, okay. That's what's fun about sports is, like, that team won. Right. Or, like, that all went into the hoop. Whereas, like, the Oscar nominations came out today, and you just look at it, and you're like, no. Sure. No. Oh, I didn't see them. They're bad.

Really? Some of them are really cool. Yeah. Amelia Perez got 13 nominations. What did the Brutalists get? Oh, my God. A lot. Dude, Challengers got nominated for nothing. See?

You can make an incredible film. What did Gladiator 2 get nominated for? It probably got more nominations than Challengers, I bet you. More than zero? No way. More than zero. No way. More than zero. No way. The Substance got nominated for Best Picture, though, which is crazy.

That's awesome. I never saw it because body horror. Yeah. I thought it was cool. It's messed up. Anyways. Anyways, what about you? I swim team, ironically.

Oh, yeah. And then played a lot of soccer. Why is that ironic? Because I drowned when I was a kid. Oh, yeah. I forgot. But then I conquered the water. Oh. And that is such a lot of soccer. Why is that ironic? Because I drowned when I was a kid. Oh, yeah, I forgot. But then I conquered the water. Oh.

And that is such a good story. It was kind of like one of those enemies to lovers thing, where I was like, OK, you tried to kill me, but now we need to work together. That's awesome. So you fucked a pool. Hey, good for you, buddy. Yeah, dude.

If you think about it, swimming is fucking the water. Butterfly? Depending on the stroke, yeah. The breaststroke. Depending on the stroke. You're so right. And the breaststroke is the, I don't want to say it, but you know. Protein soda.

The main thing I actually wanted to do in this podcast today is I wanted us to talk about our cast here. Yes. Our current cast. And I want to talk, we compete every week, right? We're playing games nonstop. Oh, right. And they can get intense. And I wanted us to talk about who we think are the most competitive people here at Smosh.

Now, and I don't say competitive as a bad thing. No. I think it's a good thing. I'm talking about who gets the most locked in. And I think there's a ranking there. I'm like, some people, I think there's people who I'm like, they're not as competitive. Yeah. I have like a group, but yeah, go.

You have a group of contenders? Yeah. I'll start off by saying, I think I'm in like the top three of most competitive. Really? I firmly, I feel like I'm one of the only people here at Smosh who's openly admits that I'm competitive. I think I don't. I actually think you... You don't think I'm one of the most? No, I think you're competitive,

but I don't think you're one of the most because I think there's specific games that you get, like, pissed, like werewolf. I see you, like, I can see you get, like, a little, like, what the hell? But I... Competitive, to me, is, like, a full circle thing of, like, all the different attributes.

That's what I... I think you're competitive, but I think there are people who have the attribute of competitiveness, circle thing of like all the different attributes that's what i i think you're competitive but i think there are people who have the attribute of competitiveness which is like like they get like they're just angry yeah this sucks like because like i see you getting there at some games but i also see you kind of being like hey yeah i would agree i feel like you chill out like you you do want to win you're still competitive though i still think you're competitive like challenge pit oh yeah like you are very competitive in the sense of like you win a lot i'm gonna go all out yeah you're

gonna go all out but i feel like you're not really as like focused on like other people's competition as much. You don't like emotionally get as riled up. I think. Yeah, that's fair. I do sometimes get riled up. But as soon as we cut, I'm done. I'm like, yeah, I, I think competitive real like really like that kind of are still kind of taking it home with you. And I'm not saying that that's a bad thing, but I think they they are like they're still in it it takes them a second yeah yeah okay it's not a bad thing

what do you think you guys rank on the scale i think i definitely hear i chill out a lot more because there are people i wouldn't put you in the there tier. There are people more competitive than me. I think for challenge foot, I'm like, oh, fuck this. I'm not going to win any of this. But I would say me growing up, games, charades and stuff, I'm pretty competitive. Are you more competitive in games off camera, like outside of Smosh? Yes, 100. I think I'm way more chill outside of Smosh. I think here I'm like, I'm gonna amp it up.

I think outside of Smosh, I am way more competitive. I get involved with like, no, that's not the rule, no. Whereas here, there's already enough of that. So I just have fun way more. What about you, Raj? Yeah, I mean i i feel like what about you arasha i definitely feel like i'm pretty competitive but i feel like i gave a little bit of my history here like i was almost bred to be very cutthroat yes especially in

the nfl like yeah that forensics it It was pretty intense. I mean, again, everything that you were saying was just like I think I went to a total of like 100 tournaments, you know? And starting from 9th grade to 12th grade, and like I said, I had a really strong trajectory, which was awesome,

but then it just became like this starving for success. I needed it. And like this this like starving for success i yeah and and like the more that you would you would win the more that it was like oh this is like this is power this is great this is validation that you know i should be performing or i should be competing and i'm winning over these judges so you know i have to continue to compete and so it definitely it definitely drove into a lot of uh this is a competitor this to me this is a competitor this is a competitor because i've seen arash to be like you get locked in i think you're one of those that get locked in what is this rule

like she she cannot move on alex what is this she cannot move on. Alex, what is this? She cannot move on if the rule is not stated and everyone's not following it. And that, that to me, and that's the thing. You need those people in games because, because I can't stand when rules are just like, ah, whatever, whatever. But when I'm here, I'm like, oh, whatever, whatever, whatever. But when I'm outside, I'm like, no, no, no. I concur. I think the rules definitely is important. I think what I would like to unlearn a little bit is the emotional investment.

It's tough. It is very tough. It's very tough. It's so funny because we are here knowing like we're just playing a board game. That's our job. Okay, but sometimes Alex is like, guys, 20 bucks to whoever wins. Okay, I think he's only doing that to you. He ain't doing that to you, no.

This is why you are a competitor. That's why you're having troubles because Alex is freaking like poisoning your mind. Because Arasha gets, because Alex goes, oh yeah, this is good. And then you get fed a possible thing that you can win. And I think- The enemy is Alex.

That's what makes you hook, that's what makes you hook. That's what makes you latch on where I go. I don't want your 20 bucks because you're never going to give it to me. And I don't want a hot dog, bitch. Like, that's where I want to attach. You get so attached to it. I'm like twitching. But here's the thing.

I also think that there are people who are right there with you. Definitely. Maybe surpassing you. Right. And I think Angela is one of them. In a way, in a way. Here's the thing. Oh, no, definitely.

She's a different competitor because she. Because she cheats. Because she cheats. This is so good. Because she cheats. She cheats. Playback. What's the video tilt and shout everybody go freaking watch that video because it did not get enough it did not get enough and olivia and angela are cheating the entire time and i get very competitive and angry

in the video that actually would make me upset and i stand by that would make me upset and the game's called tilt and shout they move twice and it'll make sense to you when you watch it they move twice i guess we need to do that trend that tiktok trend where it's like this is we we listen and we don't judge and we all admit all the times we've cheated in games because we've all done that shit don't cheat in games yeah no i actually believe you're the one who does it literally do you might be the one i don't cheat in games. Yeah. No. No. I actually believe you're the one who doesn't. I literally do not cheat. Amanda, you might be the one. I don't cheat.

No. No. Yeah, you cheat. No, Amanda cheats. I don't cheat. I lie through my teeth, but I do not cheat. Okay. Fuck no.

Yeah, I don't cheat. Yes, you do. I cheat when we're supposed to cheat with Monopoly, but I don't cheat other than that. Okay. Okay. Find me cheating. Let's find it. I don't cheat other than that. Find me cheating. I don't think there's cheating. I think there's times where the rules get bent. Like, what's that game where it was like, okay, things you're scared of, and you said goo.

Goo is frightening. I will say I did a whole play based on goo and how people were afraid of goo. Fine. Shane's cheating of goo. Fine. Shane's cheating right now. Okay. All right. So Angela. I think Angela.

But Angela's a different type of competitor where she'll be like, this is unfair. That's peak emotions. She's peak emotions where hers is about fairness. When she's not winning, she's like, this is unfair. And then she cheats. But you're not winning. I angela i think yeah i mean angela's kind of in a category of her own of like the emotions yes yeah um i think that's kind of where i tend to go to like i get like i see you get like that but it's angela's angela just off the chain but i i like i like when you kind of

lose it and get competitive. It's fun. And I think it makes for good content. Maybe I'll just fucking go. Angela goes viral all the time from board game content because she's losing her mind and it's entertaining. I feel like Chance is similar to that, too. Chance. His is like an internal, like, fury. Chance. Deep.

I would put Chance and Damien in a similar category where they are gamers. Yeah. They're gamers and they're figuring out the system. And they're learning the system. And they're really good at it. And I will say when I played with Chance on the sound game when we had to

make sounds, he gets really he's like, I didn't do it. I couldn't do it. I couldn't do it. It's very deep. It's very internal, which makes him such a good gamer and such a good player. Yeah. And it's really fun to have him on a team because when you are doing well, he's like, right.

Yeah. Right. No, exactly. That's why I think Chance and I work really well together when we're on a team because I am like, we have got this. I'm giving you the gusto. And he's like, we're going to win. Because you're internal, too. You and him, like, you guys are here, whereas Angela's out here. Shane can be a little bit out here.

And I'm like, I'm also Hollywood, like on the softball field where I'm like, you know what? If I see too many people getting competitive, I know I'll get worked up and try to like defend and find justice so I start to kind of sit back. You and Courtney are in the same realm of like we're here to have a good time. We're here to have fun. Yeah. Silly. I think Courtney is definitely with that too. But Courtney can get competitive too. Yeah. She can definitely

I think Courtney can definitely get competitive and I can get competitive with certain people. Right. I feel like I sometimes I'll like get competitive with certain people. I feel like sometimes I'll get competitive with Courtney or Chance or Angela. I think it's the lineup. You're right. It's like if there are enough people that are in it,

we as performers and professionals are enough to be like, I'm going to back off for a second. The content doesn't need to be all five of us screaming at each other. Correct. It's true. It depends on the setup

Because yeah if Angela's on an opposing team I think I know The problem for me is I know that Angela Will trash talk And I'm like we're down to trash talk And we both enjoy it And we just let it rip The trash talk can feel like they're like

Calling out your family In such a negative way I don't think it gets to that point. No. Well. Unless my insult made her. No. Maybe it's because I have sisters.

You play a game of fucking Uno. Yeah. And the like threats are out. Nothing messes us up here at Smosh more than Uno. It's Werewolf and Uno that are going to like. Werewolf. Werewolf is crazy. I get a little heated during Werewolf because I'm like.

Oh, man. When you're getting like accused. I know you do. This is the thing, man. You'll see me playing Werewolf and I'm heated. I look like I'm having a horrible time. I'm loving it. Yeah, I know.

I'm in. It's real life. No, I love it. It's the crucible. Yeah. No, but people get pissed. But then after, like every time we're done playing, we all walk outside and we're like, hey, I love you guys.

No, we're having a blast. We're having fun, but it is like, you're going to call me a liar? It's theater kids in competition. You think I'm a werewolf? You're really going to believe Shane right now? You're going to? You know what the shitty thing I do in Werewolf? This is the most sore loser thing I do. Where in Werewolf,

when I get accused of being the werewolf and I'm not and at the end like it revealed that like Angela was the tanner and it was like oh and everyone freaks out and I'm still taking that moment to be like that means you lost too that means that actually means that you lost

finding the other losses in the game I need to make sure other people know they lost it's so funny. It's hard. I love it. I love it. I also think, I think Tommy is similar to me in a sense.

Yeah, Tommy. Where he's like, when it's getting a little too like, okay, he's like, okay. Yeah, but he can get into it. He can, that's what,

I think we all can kind of tap in. I think we all sing. But I do think we ebb and flow. We ebb and flow. If Tommy wants to get in, he'll get in. Oh, yeah. If he feels like it's getting too much, like the graph video, which we don't need to discuss, we'll kind of charty party. We'll kind of take ourselves out.

Where me and Tommy looked at each other and we went, time to step out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Which that reminds me too of another strong competitor is Noah. Yeah. Noah's a very strong competitor. Noah is. And very involved with the rules. Oh, very much.

He will not continue playing a game unless the rules are, and I kind of love that about him. Oh, yeah. Because he gets, but what I love is he does it differently. Whereas like Angelo's like, he's like, his is like a laughing. It's lighthearted, yeah. It's like, especially when we're like on, when we're on like opposite teams

and it's like about like categories and stuff. Like he's able to be like, I'll give that to you. Yeah, yeah, no, I'm open to that for sure. I'll do that. And then on the same time with his end, he's like, you're not gonna accept this. I gave you that, you're not gonna accept this. Remember Charity Party when I was like, you have to let this go.

And he said, Amanda, I can't. And he said it in a smile, in a sweet, sweet little smile. And I said, okay. I can't, sorry. I can't, and I won't. I can't, I can't. I can't. The four of us were just playing.

What was that video that just came out? It was you, me, Chance and Noah. Don't say um. No. What was that? Did you guys play Blockbuster? No. Oh, it was the one where we had to like turn over the.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That one got intense too. That one got intense. It's so fun I think people should know listening When we say intense

We're still having a blast It's never bad enough where we're like Hey I gotta talk to you But it is like we'll get heated And then we'll look at each other and be like Sometimes that's why I will pull back my fire To be like Where are we guys

I feel like I pick and choose i'll pick and choose which games i really want to like invest in but in games like that sometimes it's like if the vibe is like intense and i'm like okay i'll just be the light and i felt that i felt that you know yeah um we're all good at like kind of balancing it all but damien damien also is is like such a good gamer he gets really involved and I love it because he'll call people out left and right. He's like, oh, that's so interesting that you would do it like that because that's not how the rules

are. Okay, but we'll keep going. Yeah, yeah. Like can't say um. Can't say um is about to come out and he was doing that. He's like, uh-uh. No, no, no, no, no. Oh my gosh. And I kind of love it because if you are a little bit emotional, because I think it's good for the other person to get like, okay, okay. Yeah.

Okay. Okay. You said you can't say I'm, and that reminds me of Ian, who I feel like. He's an interesting one. Ian was kind of getting a little emotionally in there too. Yes. Because like we would like call him out and he'd be like. He'd be like, why are you calling me out?

That's not what I did. I didn't say I'm. I didn't say I'm. And he's sitting there going like, ah. Yeah. He's like the meanest the meanest prank we could ever do is if we're filming a board game video on april 1st if we just gaslight the shit out of someone in a game like that whoa and we're just like oh we're just gonna say that they said oh and you just all do it i'm not saying we should

do this i'm saying it would be diabolical cr I'm getting cringed right now. No, I would stand up and I would literally like hit playback on the cameras. But I think that Ian can go either way. I think he can get there or he can be like, you guys are idiots. I think he can elevate other people's competition really well though. Like definitely I feel like the angriest that I got

was in the werewolf that we were all in when we were on the couch and i remember ian like sided with chance and i was innocent and i was like i was pissed at ian for like an hour i was like i can't believe he did that and then i was like wait i have to let this go wait i'm an adult hold on i have to move on i have to move on it's so funny i don't, I don't think, I think Olivia doesn't get too competitive. I think Olivia's kind of in the same category as you. She's just having a good time. She's having a really good time.

Keith is in a similar category as me and Angela. I love keeping games. We're just, we're the ones who like are, we're not putting too much thought into the game, right? We're just, we know that if we just go 100% and we just believe and it's all emotion, it'll be a blast. Yeah. How about Trevor?

Trevor's chill, I think. I think Trevor's having fun, but I do think that Trevor is also like, what are the rules? Yeah. Yeah. He's kind of in the middle kind of gamer. I think if cameras went away, I think everything would change. Off camera, I think Trevor would be the most intense. I think everything would change.

So let's like, okay, here's the prank. We set up a camera and we're like, guys, we should just bond and play a game off camera. This isn't going anywhere. But with all the cameras here. But they're off.

They're not actually for real. But with all the cameras here. But with all the cameras here, but like they're off. Like we didn't say. They're off. They're not actually for real. But only we are in on it. So then we see how competitive people are. That's also really mean. It's not mean. We'll bleep out anything like anybody says that they're like, I didn't want to share that. Gaslighting or doing that.

It's both essentially gaslighting. Pretty cool. Well, we'll gaslight later with mine, so. Okay. We're running out of time, but there was one other question that I wanted to pose to us, and that is, say on the next season of Survivor,

Smosh gets to send one person to go, and we're like, this person has to go and win Survivor. You know I love Survivor. Who do we think, out of Smosh, has the best odds of winning Survivor? Okay. What do you have to do on the show? This has already happened before.

There's so many things. Years ago, Mari Takahashi went and lost. She's too much of a threat. Here's the deal. She was too good. As a Survivor fan, big time, Jeff Probst, hi. Here's the deal. If you are a strong male who does really well in challenges, you will never win.

But you will make it far because you will end up being a threat and they will vote you out. So I definitely don't think Shane. You will last a while. People will love you. They'll be like, oh, I don't want to vote him out, but we got to get rid of him. Okay. They just don't let... Because at the end, you have to win all these immunity challenges for your life.

Got it. Like sometimes it's like that's how you get to the end. OK. I think it is a smart. But you also have to have a social game, but it can't be too good. OK. And and you have to be a little bit under the radar. You can't be too boastful and ego intense.

You can't be telling people what to do. You can't be too boastful and ego intense you can't be telling people what to do you can't be too much of a leader like you have to basically be a chameleon the entire time but you if you make too big of a stink of like i did that move yeah like i voted that person out you're fucked and what so what what's the challenge like are we are we and also it's still a thing girls like will like, will, like, lump together. But then at the end, they'll usually always turn on each other. That's kind of how it happens. Well, it's Survivor.

It's America. You do intense, intense physical challenges. Yeah. Intense. Which I think most of the cast could do. Swimming. Lots of swimming. And puzzles

Constant puzzles Okay Okay so who do we think So not me I Easy You will definitely not win I love you but you will not win

Okay I feel like I'd survive I think that you could do A really good job But if you show any Like you have to be villainous But it has to be Fucking under the radar

You have to play your cards right You'd have to show up And appear like I don't know, like, very non-threatening. Yes. People can't know that you're in forensic. But here's the thing. No, not the NFL background. I feel like, I don't know. Do I intimidate right away?

I think you'd be too smart about it and it would show your cards. Like, people would know that you're playing the game too well. And also, I think that people would kind of like, this sounds crazy, but I think that people would kind of flirt with you. And that's also a red flag because people go, oh, look, they're teaming up. That's the other thing. If you have like an ally, you have to keep that shit secret.

Because if people are kind of flirty, they're like, look at Arasha and blah, blah, blah. They're flirting. They're probably an ally. We got to break them up. Well, what if I just don't flirt back? You know, what if I blah, blah, blah. They're flirting. They're probably an ally. We got to break them up. Well, what if I just don't flirt back? You know, what if I'm just like, hey, I'm... You're just saying by the sheer nature of people going and talking to you is... I mean, that's supposed to happen.

It's the most chaotic. I love this show. Yeah. So I know we're running out of time. I personally think this sounds weird, but I think Spencer would do a really good job because he's under the radar. He's super social without being boastful. You know who I actually would say?

I think Ian would do really well because Ian's very social, but in a way that you kind of don't realize it at first. You're like, oh, wait, he's just chill talking to anyone. He's also got a lot of endurance that people don't realize. He's a runner, and I think endurance challenges would be— I think Ian would do really well. I think that they... I think it would be trouble if they found out who he was.

Okay, not counting that. Because people get weird about that. They're like, oh, you're blah, blah, blah, you have a lot of money. Let's discount that. Okay. I think Ian would do really well. I don't know. I have a vision of Ian being voted out. Here's... I think, I also think Chance could go very far.

Yeah. I think he could go very far, but he would really have to play his cards right. I think he wears his heart on his sleeve too much. I think so too. I think the people who roll their eyes during Tribal. Yeah. Tribal's like the vote out thing i think you'd be too open that sounds if you if you roll your eyes people go oh if they

think that you're a little bit like could flip or like have a too big of an outfacing opinion yeah chance would call people out and that would get him in trouble yeah yeah yeah what about That won't work. You'll get voted out. What about Kourtney? I think, I think. I think Kourtney could do. Here's the thing. Kourtney would last a really long time because she's social. She's really good at the challenges. She's very physically active. She could also, Kourtney is also could like kind of seek out people.

She's really good at reading people in like a way of like i don't know she gets a vibe but i don't i it's hard for me because i just know courtney would never want to go on survivor because that type of show would make her so uncomfortable sure right but right there's also like i don't think i think courtney would have such a hard time in that level of something of having to be cutthroat i also think that'd be so hard. I also think sleeping on literal bamboo in the night with no phone, I think people just in general break. Yeah.

They get like, and there's no fucking food. You have to fight for your food. Okay. I think Courtney can handle a lot of that stuff. I'm gonna double down on me then. I think Courtney could go really, really far. I think that you could go really far. I think it has to be even more incognito.

Like physical vibe also. I feel like I could do it. Okay. I'm going to go to Survivor. Apply. You can apply. This is my application. No, no, no, no, no. Jeff.

No, it's a whole video, I know you watch the show. One of the fan requests, show Jeff Probst this episode of Smosh Mouth. I'll do it. Okay. I feel like I'd have fun. I think Trevor could go far, but... I feel like the only argument against it, too, was that people would flirt with me. But I would just not.

There's a lot of other things you'd have to really keep your like stealth and like I know what I'm doing because once you say like I know what I'm doing if you start to kind of like tell the group what to do you're even out there dumb a little bit you have to play like if you're if you're not on the vote every single time I could have a whole podcast about this but if you're not on the vote every single time then people are like they might take you to the end just because they're like oh well okay we could hide behind this person okay so you don't want to be too dumb but you don't want to be too much and you only make big moves towards the end yeah okay yeah all right yeah i am such a survivor fan but like arasha you could do really well i think so i feel like i could do

i i could get i don't think I could win, though. Yeah. Again, I just want to know more about the challenges themselves. Because if it's like eating, like, gross shit, then I'm out. It used to be. The challenges are fucking insane. Yeah. You're like pummeling your body through mud.

It's like marine shit. Okay. And it's a lot of swimming and it's a lot of diving down and like doing knots and puzzles hot all right well who do you guys think would would would win here's the thing it's very hard to look at someone go i think that you would win because the game freaking changes so much like the ocean man it comes in it comes out yeah let us know down below who you think our top competitor is and who would win on Survivor. If you're watching Traders right now, Boston Rob is an incredible Survivor winner. Okay.

Incredible. I think I watched that season because that's old school. Yeah, that's where he met his wife. Yeah, I remember that season. Yeah. Yeah, that's forever ago. But he went on again like three more times. I was a kid when I watched watched it he went back on that's crazy um a new new kid uh arasha thank you for being here we'll see how the super bowl goes i hope we're wrong and um show a monkey

smosh mouth oh please and post it onto our subreddit yes all right bye see you later bye
