Hi, welcome to Smoshmouth. I'm Shane. And I'm Damien Haas, filling in for Amanda Lehan Canto. And today, we have a pretty incredible guest here. Someone who reached out to us, who wanted to be here so bad. Jack Septickeye. Yay! It's true, I did. You did, in fact, do that.

We feel very cool that you reached out to us. We really do. We can't emphasize enough how much we talked about it. Everyone's just been making fun of me all day. Yeah. Yeah, that's what we do. We do that to everybody, though. Oh, fair. So I'm part of the crew? Yeah, the crew, the cast, all of us make fun of each other all the time.

And I'm filling in for Damien Haas. Nice. And we're going to cut all of Damien's stuff. Great. Great. We're joined today by Sean Decepticon. Sean, apparently you do internet content. Can you tell us about it? Can we just turn this into like a dude bro podcast? Yeah. We're just going to talk about crypto for 60 minutes.

And women and why we... Yeah. And what's going on there? Why we don't like them and have never touched one. Yeah. That's 90% of podcast, so let's just be like them. Yeah. You got to talk about elk meat or like some... Oh, true. Yeah. Our brand deal is going to be way different.

Elk liver. I'm telling you's about camel milk. Jacklings. Deer jerky. Deer jerky is actually pretty good. Really? Yeah, do they... You're talking to a guy who will eat anything.

Who's killing animals? I will kill deer for fun. I will just chase one like a cheetah and get out of my own car to do it. I use my bare hands. I'll eat anything, and deer jerky is pretty good. Yeah. Yeah. There you go.

So you were telling us beforehand that you reached out to Ian. Yes. And Ian was extremely unhelpful in getting you here at Smosh. Wait, Ian Cicox was? That you reached out to Ian, you were like, hey, I'd love to be on Swash. And he was like, hey, cool, man. Yeah, I don't, whatever. And then you reached out to Spencer, and Spencer got the wheels turning.

Spencer locked the fuck in. Yeah. So shout out to Spencer. What did Ian actually say to you? No. I restarted, because you guys were talking about, like, we can get this person on and this person on, Ian knows everybody, he can just reach out

and I was like, I love these guys, I want to come on, and then I reached out to him and he was like, yeah, that's awesome, man, it's 4th of July week, so everyone's out of the office. I saw I'm drunk. I'll pass your email along, like, where should we send it? And then that was kind of it. And I reached out to Spencer,

and Spencer was like, cool, everyone's really excited to have you on, we're going to have you on a this, this, and this. Nice, nice. Ian's like, look, man, I have no power. here. I'm just Ian Hickok to Smosh. He's like, I couldn't give two shits. He's an ideas guy. Damn it. He's like, I'm not going to be there. I don't care. His DM's list is just every YouTuber just being like, hey, I'd love to come on sometime and him just ignoring it. Let me tell you about the 405.

You have been watching Smosh. Is that weird? No. No, it's very cool. I have a different. Okay, divided. You have a different opinion. All of our viewers are like, yeah, is it cool that we watch this? No, I wouldn't. I don't know, I actually felt nervous about you coming here, if I'm being honest. Really? Yeah, it felt like I don't get star-struck, and I, like, have only more recently started watching your videos, but like, you're a really big name in the space, and it was like, oh, I hope I don't, like, knowing that you were already enjoying Smosh content, I was like, oh, I hope I don't suck in person.

Well, you were my least favorite members, and that's fine. Got that out of the way. You'll fit right in. Um, those TikTok accounts ranking the members, that's me. Oh, nice. That's all me. I don't think I've come across those. Really?

No, I'm glad to. Yeah, that's immoralizing as false. Stay away. It's rough. To be fair, you're like top of the list most time. Oh, really? Because it's TikTokers. Thank you.

I gotta get that algorithm. They're all like, that's true. We gotta get in on this. Yeah. Our people. Look, he blinks a lot. I do that too. Ha ha ha.

Now I'm doing it. Yeah. He's just like me. Wow. How do you feel about autism? Yeah, Shane. It's pretty cool. Sick.

Hmm. Wrong answer. It's the internet. If one person says that was sick, I have to go, you didn't really think about the consequences of every word you said. You're just trying to be PC here. No, I think it's cool. It's a superpower.

It is? Can be. Yeah. Anyway. No, I remember the other day? Okay. Can I say, The other day, you guys went into play Tappel.

It was like you, Angela, and Spencer. And you came out, and I think I talked to Angela, and I was like, so how many games did Damien win? And I think it was like, you won all of them. And I was like, yeah, of course. It wasn't all of them. It was a fair chunk, but like, yeah, I guess. I didn't win the ones I let them win in.

That's true. I had to let them win a few. Yeah. Yeah. No. But that also just might be, I think you're just good at that shit. I think I just like patterns and games. And, like, I'm either going to, like, really get the game or not at all.

Like, anything, like, chameleon, I suck at. I suck a lot. That was one of the things I told Spencer. I was like, I don't want to play a werewolf. Really? I'm not good at it. I just don't like people lying to each other and doing a lot of it. You guys are a more fun group, but I did, like, Among Us for years with people.

Sure. I love all those people, but sometimes I go to bed at, like, 4 a.m. being, like, I think they hate me. Yeah, it's hard not to feel bad about that. It can be rough. It's definitely a thing where, in the moment, we get intense and then once the game is over we leave it, we leave it on the field. Yeah. I just had to go to bed at like four or five

a.m. on my own and just... You guys also like would play among us for a long time. And I played with like the best of the best and they were so good at making me feel bad about myself. That shit is intense. Yeah. No, we have like an established group and it's also in person

so you kind of like, you kind of get to talk afterwards and debrief a little bit. Yeah, we fight. Yeah, we strike each other. We meet up in the parking lot after We just go for it. We're just skins versus skins, let's go. That's what's up. I think also something like

Werewolf is a lot easier than the long form games like among us where you have to lie to your friend's face for like 20 minutes. Like one night ultimate Werewolf is like five minutes of like oh ha ha ha ha you really got me this time as opposed to like, we've been friends forever Shane like look at me in the eyes.

Right. I would never do this and then you would Yeah. Yeah. I was just the guy who's like I'm happy to be here. Yeah. I'm Loster? Okay. Oh, whoopsie, I'm bad at it. Oh, thank God. Sorry. My move a lot of times in Werewolf is just to say that I'm the Werewolf, and somehow it works. It's all a strategy.

It's not even a strategy. I'm just like, I'm bad at lying, so I'll just be honest. But then people are blown away by it that they don't believe it, and it works. Says more about you than him. Yeah. Yeah. I guess so. Yeah. I think about that. I think that's a smart, smart play.

Yeah. I played with a group a few weeks back, and, like, one person just, like, wouldn't say anything. It'd be like, do you have anything to say about that? They were like, yeah, that person gets voted out immediately every time. You kind of have no choice but to vote them out. I was like, you have to say. I was like, I'm going to be chill about it this time. And when I wouldn't talk, I was like, I think you actually have to say something.

That's the game. That's the game. You're not participating. Get out. Right. Sheesh. Sean, what was the video that got you into Smosh? Because it was, it felt like it was sudden. Because I've met you before a couple years ago.

And you want to thank Miss last year. That's true. Yes. We've literally performed with you. Literally. But at that, at that, time you weren't like watching our content no you just knew yeah yeah yeah for sure for sure man um so what happened i got radicalized real fast that's how it goes i was exploring around

tic-tok and i'd like smosh has been around longer than any of us and i i remember on the up and up i remember like meeting ian and anthony and i was like the main smosh stuff i was like it's great but it's not really like my thing i'm not really into it and then more of like a comedy guy yeah Sorry Yo, can he say that? I'm into, you know, I'm into stuff that's, like, for, like, grown-ups. I'm into stuff that's, like, good. Yeah, I like, you know, I love quality.

Yeah, once I hit 14, I was like, I can't watch this on anyone. Wait, when you met Ian and Anthony first, what was their vibe? Did Anthony still have the emo hair? They were given, like, real swinger energy. Go on. saw you from across the con like your vibe. I actually can't remember where I met them first.

I think it was probably like VidCon or or X or something like that. But I mean, chill dudes, really nice. Okay. Shame what happened to them. All that stuff they went through. Yeah. But at least they're here now.

Straight to their head. I hope they can help. Okay, so we're cringe. And then all of a few months ago, I feel like it just a huge switch up. I, because I'd seen like you guys join and I watched some of that stuff

and I was like I feel like the formats just aren't clicking with me or maybe the people are shit. I don't know and I it was just like their faces there's just something about you guys together trying to be funny that just gave me the ick

yeah for sure but for some reason I feel like I said it to we did URL with Courtney recently I think this is the best smoshes ever been. I think you're in your apex of like, it's all downhill from here. Yeah. Yeah, for sure. To the ground. I feel like there's been just so much like, like, what are we doing and like defy and everything that's getting in the way. I think now you're

like on the path to be like, we get it. I would agree. Right. The best cast you've ever had, the best formats you've ever had, everyone has a good energy. People know how to like manage each other and not be dicks to each other. Everyone's old enough to be mature. Sure. So when I was watching the first clip I saw was on TikTok, which was your painting thing. And it was you with your butt picture. Yeah. And then everyone started yelling at you for a long time. And I was like, well, this is my vibe. Yeah. It's sort of like improv comedy where you can tell, everyone knows when to interject. Everyone knows where everyone else is. You can feel the energy when you do that with people. Right. And then you know the energy and you're like, oh, this is funny. You like sit there and

you like stare off 1,000 yards there. You start tearing up. It was all purely comedy. Yeah. There was no realness. That was just me performing, right? Yeah. I wasn't actually upset.

I also was introduced to that clip via TikTok because I watch a lot of small stuff, but I was not in that video. And I was like, God damn, there's like two minutes long. No one watched the actual video. It kind of fascinated me how long that went on. Yeah. It's like four and a half minutes. And they like go, they go away, the energy comes down, and then they ramp themselves back up.

Yeah. And then it goes back down and they keep going. It's so good. I think it's perfect. comedy. Thank you. Cinema. And then I saw that and then TikTok does its thing and starts putting it everywhere.

And then I got COVID again recently and I was just sitting down on YouTube and I was like, I wonder if I can watch some other stuff and like watching compilations and things. I don't think I've watched a single full Smosh video. Just watching comps. Yeah. Actually, no, summer games I watched. Hell yeah. Which was great.

Good job. Who's your favorite team? You guys. Thank you. I'm a, not you. You weren't on a team. Well, you did, didn't you do this just? now you're like you guys. You're on everybody's team.

That's right. I'm a superintendent. The superintendent needs to be on everyone's team. That's true. You actually really killed it as the superintendent. I appreciate that a lot. You were very funny. Thank you so much. It was so much fun to do and I was yeah I was honored to be offered the position. It's a much harder thing to host like that than people think it is. You know I got to give the directors so much credit because I have a hard time sometimes like our crew is so chaotic in the best way so I don't know when to break in when I'm hosting

and I don't want to, like, cut off anybody's fun. So, like, I basically told, like, specifically, Emily, I was like, hey, please, like, let me know, like, wave, like, give me symbols of, like, this is when you need to cut off. And she did, so it was, like, super helpful and made me really comfortable. So you guys killed it. Appreciate you. But, yeah, I'm a degenerate for sure. Hell yeah. Nice.

Hell, yeah. I'm the class clown, like, always talking bad grades. Have you ever been to detention show? Yes, I have. Damn, me too. And I had to, the thing they made me do is write the dictionary. Oh. How much of it?

As far as I could get in like an hour. Started at Ardvark, ended in an ardvark? That thing's hard, dude. There's a lot of ardvarks in there. I just started learning. It was fucking sick. They come back, your brains like this. You're like, finish.

I remember I had to like write an essay on why it was dangerous that I was talking during a fire drill. And it was like so many thousands of words that I just had to BS about like, imagine a scenario. where I was talking, and someone didn't hear the very vital information they needed to leave the school. They could have been burnt to a crisp, and it would be my fault. Yeah. Because it was like, you know, it's a thousand words for oops. Like, didn't mean

too sorry, but yeah. Yeah, detention sucks. Sure does. I don't feel like there's many instructions giving during a fire drill. I feel like the alarms go off and you leave. That was my first draft that made me redo it. Everybody else is stupid, and I'm right. Maybe you should

be on fire if you can't, listen up and learn. This episode of Smoshmouth is brought to you by Rocket Money.

I never got it, though. Nice. But I was homeschooled throughout high school, so. Oh, thanks. Thanks, dude. Your mom just sends you to the backyard Just go Go water plant

Go outside I'm like I live in Arizona It's 120 Like deal with it You have to go to Scottsdale now Go to fashion square Go shop Yeah that was my vibe

So I think I was at three or four Detentions for myself That's pretty Detention sucks It's so stupid It really is You don't learn anything from it either

Just expel me you coward The school system is not Trying to teach us anything It's true Which I guess is true for everywhere. I learned a shit ton about Ardbarks, though.

You know all that stuff. I couldn't tell you now. You know Arthur from that show? Arthur? That's what he is. That is a weird thing. No one knew what he was for a long time. Well, because Ardvarks, those are ant-eaters, right? They've got the really fucked up face. And Arthur doesn't. He's not like, hey, dude, ble-boo, and there's a weird elephant trunk.

Yeah. Just like a normal kid. Can I get something off my head right now? I thought that that passed, that passes through my head every time we talk about some sort of thing is when it's like, oh, Arthur, and you're like, yeah, that guy, I'm like, oh, so you guys, you had Arthur too.

Because I'm sometimes surprised. Where do you think Ireland is? I don't know. Different planet? Maybe. Kind of. We had Arthur. I didn't like it. I don't know where Arthur goes. You know? I think because Peppa Pig comes here, we've at least shown that anywhere in that UK region can... It's all possible. See, I'd never heard of Peppa Pig

until, like, a couple people... There was literally an audible gasp over there. I think that's more an age thing, though. I don't think I was young enough for Peppa Peppa. No, I mean, it's now when it slaps. Yeah. Monty Pig and Daddy Pig? Yeah.

Do I just have a new base? The Scolk came from Alexina, who's far younger than me. So, like, that's fair. She was over there going like, what? I know Peppa Pig is like eight feet tall. That's all I know about Peppa Pig. Canonically, yeah. Canonically, she's eight feet tall.

Who did the measurements? Oh, I guess I know a little bit more about Peppa Pig than you do. Sounds like we have. There's a fucking phony over here. Yeah. She's basically a titan. Yeah, reverse that gasp. Breathe, breathe out.

I'm just waiting for this, Google. Yeah. Three feet nine inches. No. You haven't seen the diagram. She's not three feet nine inches. She's eight feet tall. They,

okay, to show off my Smosh knowledge again, this is like the 45 minute slide all over again. Nice. Wow. Dropping mad references. That was from Resident Evil 8. Yeah. Oh, wow.

That's true. We did learn about a 45 minute slide. I've probably watched more smosh than you guys. Probably. It's hard to keep up. We upload so much. Yeah, stop. Have you ever tried stopping? I'm trying.

There's only so many stories I can read. No, it's an onslaught. Someday you're just going to come in and like glaze over and like the light's going to be gone from your eyes. Like, we lost shame. I've brought up, I've brought this up. We've storied them too close to the sun. I have been reading.

There have been times in Reddit stories where I am reading and I will catch that I zone out a little bit while I'm reading a story Some of them are long and bad writers Oh yeah You read a lot of books so you know Like this the pros on this is just awful And people have a lot of run on sentences

Yeah Or things and that can be tough But I will zone out And then people will be like It's strange like Shane completely forgot To like bring up this part of the story again I'm like I miss that Shane wasn't here buddy

You heard me read it out loud And I did not hear it somehow Shane was thinking about dinner tonight I sometimes have a harder time reading out loud and remembering the story. That's me. When I'm playing games as well, specifically, I'm like reading at the same time and I'm like, I'm reading good, right? I didn't miss a word. Okay, that's good.

I kind of flubed that one. I was like, oh, did I read? Yeah, I feel like that. No, no, it's a real thing. Can I make a recommendation? We got to introduce popcorn. Okay. Oh.

Like you're reading, you're like popcorn. And I just, popcorn break and I'm just eating popcorn. Oh, because you didn't go to like traditional school as much. Do you know popcorn reading? Popcorn reading? So if there's like a check. heard, I've heard this story. Before everybody gasped.

And he goes, what is he? You're a fucking idiot, right? Ooh, the boogeyman. Bring out the mysterious child. Do you know what prom is? We have chocolate. Chocolate. Have you hung out with other kids?

Here, give him a banana. So popcorn reading, which is fine that he doesn't know. Have you ever tried having subway surfer on screen at the same room? Okay, I come across Reddit stories and they put it next to that or they're shaving soap or something. Yeah. Yeah. I think I'm about to say like, a man is shaving him. He's like, stop that. Whoa, you just sounded like the TikTok filter.

Shaving a voice. Can I say already, it's weird that I'm sitting next to two people who do voice acting. You guys are going into all sorts of voices. I feel like you do enough voices. I agree. You have one of the best screams I've ever heard. Well, that's pretty good. Angel's is pretty good, too. I feel like now I'm not. not like the scream guy, because Angela's been screaming enough that I don't need to. I think you're still the scream guy, though. You're the sleeper scream guy. You're the sleeper screamer.

Yeah. It's expected from Angela to be going to... Poor Courtney. It doesn't happen that often. They're coming in! They're coming in! Coburs! Oh! The windows! The walls! They're coming in the back door!

Scott's dead. Well, so is our audience. We look over Scott. It's just... He's just a shadow on the wall. Scott's probably like, I've done this 7,000 times. I'm fucking bored. Give me something to do. You got to keep Scott on his toes.

Oh, my God. That's crazy. Okay. So, yeah, we should do popcorn reading. Anyway, yeah. Okay, what is popcorn reading? Shane popcorn reading is when you have to read a chapter in your history book and the whole class needs to read it.

And I would read like one paragraph and then I'd go, okay, popcorn, Sean. And then Sean would be the next reading. We never did that in my school. schools. Because I went to school all the way up to eighth grade. And then I started doing homeschooling. So I went to normal school. What age was that? That's up until I was about 13. Okay. So it was my teen years. So just the formative years you missed. Yeah. Just the this the fun experiences where everybody bonds. This rich tapestry is starting to fall into place. Yeah. No, it's why it's why I'm weird. No, then I started acting. I went to the acting industry. So I learned all about, you know, being a teenager. Uh, he said, it's a Dude, you're here I made it We did it I saw a comment recently

Where it's like No, it is really shocking Shane turned out how he did They're like damn You should have been Really messed up And you died in a pool Yeah

At least once Yeah That's like sim style right there That just pops up You are an extremely Well adjusted person And you have everything Going against you in terms of like

Oh you were homeschooled Oh you did acting from a young age Like you should not be And you're not just, like, fine, you're awesome. So, like, that's crazy. Jury's still out on me. I just got here. But you seem... You seem good. You seem pretty cool.

Thank you. Yeah. Well, I meant my jury on you is still out. Oh, okay. Yeah. Okay. Woo me. Sean, real quick, you are a guest here.

Sorry, sir. I told him earlier, I was like, the energy I bring today is, like, little shit brother energy. It's great. It's great. I showed up midway through the day today, and you'd already filmed a couple of videos. You already had the vibe as if you've worked here for like five years. Thank you. Yeah. Watching a lot helps. That'll do it. It's also the reason it clicked with me is because you guys have the exact sense of humor that I have. Really? So that's sort of like improvisational hanging out with friends, like situational kind of comedy. Not the like set up punchline kind of jokes. Sure.

So I like that a lot, and that's why I... I have been watching your supermarket manager video series, and there have been a lot of moments. Like, you know, it's sometimes hard not to be parisocial, especially knowing that, like, oh, we're going to be interacting. But, like, you had a lot of moments. But Damien does believe he's your best friend. I think we're brothers.

Do you want to be my... He did sit next to me at lunch. Yeah. Hey, buddy. I say as I came out of my food and said, can I sit here? You can't know that we're not adding that to the Lord. To be fair, there was not that many seats available. I am curious what happened.

You sat where you were. should sit. I sat like I was the first one to sit down pretty much and you came over to my left and you were like oh okay I'll sit across from you and I was like what the fuck was that like I was like nothing he was going to sit there I just didn't know why you didn't sit in the first place it almost seemed like I looked at you and like hissed and I did I saw you there and I was like yeah mistake yeah go on I forget what were you talking about a supermarket sim supermarkets oh yeah you just have a lot of jokes that I'm like wow that sounds like

something I would probably... Thank you. And I feel like I'm out of practice with it. I think that's part of the problem with like let's playing on your own after a while. That is tough. I don't have like people to like bounce off. I'm much better in like a group. I cannot do it.

Like, because you have experience with this and you do too of like playing a game by yourself and just riffing on your own and just riffing off of the game. Damien has seen me that when I play video games, I either can play the game well and be quiet and focused or I can talk and I'm going to be so out of the game that it's horrible.

You think I play well? I cannot play. I can barely play the game. Is that true? I'm pretty bad. Shane, you're always your own worst critic and I'm rarely somebody. Like, I'll poke fun at you,

but if it comes down to like, I'm not good at that. My response is usually, Shane, you're actually so good at that. So I'm not a good critic in this moment because I don't feel. I really want to say your shit. I also don't feel like I'm, I can't riff well, like, when I'm playing a game.

Like, you're, but you're also going nonstop for an hour, whereas when we're in a group, I get to stop for a second. Yeah. Because imagine you're doing a let's play and you just are quiet for like five minutes. That's happened, and I've forgotten to edit some bits out sometimes. Did it do well? And then it's just like, that's so sick! And you're just gone.

That'd be awesome for like a TikTok clip, though, just like with the saddest possible music. That is such a depressing. And it is like that. Like, you're playing, but then when you lock in, it's like your face changes and you just look upset. Yeah. You could do it. It's just practice.

I think you could. But it's a lot of practice. I also think it's different when, like, if you're streaming live and you have a chat, like, that really helps. Because you can always look over and be like, what does someone say? Oh, I'm going to start talking about that. You always get to look over and go, shut the fuck up. I'm busy.

Stop being mean. Oh, my gosh. Yes, I did sleep last night. I'm not going to drink water. Yeah, I have the DLC. We'll get to it soon. Yeah, I saw weapons. It was fucking sick.

Shut up. I still haven't. Okay. Yeah, I haven't either. Fair. Sorry, man. Yeah, hey. I know that's all you wanted to talk about on the podcast.

We haven't found our vibe yet because I, you know, this is the first time I'm hosting in lieu of Amanda and Angela. So I cut you off for the voice acting. I had to go back three times for the popcorn thing. I'm real sorry, you guys. This shit is a mess. I fucked it all up. I was so excited to be here and now I just want to leave. I will say, I talk to Spencer when he let me know that you were coming on.

I was like, oh, like, you got to talk to him a little bit. but how was he and he goes great he says he's really sad Amanda's not here I was like I feel and I was like I agree everybody's sad about that yeah she's the best we wish you the best Amanda she'll be back shame what happened to her having a kid sucks that's your life no um she'll be back you'll meet her you'll meet her eventually eventually yeah our paths will cross yeah no I think because I was watching I mean she's in a lot of other stuff, but specifically the Rezzi 7 and 8 series.

I told Spencer that I watched the Rezzi 8 compilation thing you guys put up twice. Really? Because I like paint Warhammer stuff and I'm like I need something in the back. Whoa. Oh, I love that. Yeah, I didn't want to bring that up because that's just all people talk about that. Somewhere iffy, Wadiway, just like, I've got to go. The retention just dies and everyone's like,

gosh, shut off about it. Oh, our fan base loves Warhammer. No, I don't think the phrase Warhammer has been brought up in a long time. I have one little Warhammer guy Oh yeah? Did you paint it? I brought him up Yeah, I painted him He's a space marine I forget what

I think I painted him the wrong color or something There is no wrong color That's a home chapter, your own Oh yeah You home brewed it Well then yeah he's a badass is what he is I loved Warhammer when I was a kid But I never played the game

I just like painting him I just wanted an excuse to paint a little guy And I'm reading like the lore books now And I'm like I will never play this game It's so depressing Yeah Wars hell. For anyone who doesn't know

what Warhammer 40,000 is. You can pick it up from the name. You get the gist of it. It sounds like someone made it up for a sitcom or like, you boys

playing your game. Not now, Mom. We're playing Warhammer now. It's a game that's exclusively played in garages by people who have plenty of facial hair. Tim's over

in the corner like, yeah. Do you guys know what the Narwhal Bacon's at Midnight means? What? Why do I know that? Because I... It's familiar. And I'm all bacon's at midnight.

That's if you see a fellow Redditor in the Wild. Fuck. Oh, it's like a Tumblr. I like your shoelaces. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Nobody wants to acknowledge that, though. I meant to say it to Spencer when I saw him, because I was like, he would dab me up after I said that. Or flee. Run away.

But yes, it's very much that energy. Yeah, it's a... I don't know why I want to explain it to people, It's D&D for people who love war. Yeah, it takes place in 40,000 years where the world, the universe is just war. But it's also like very biblical. Like it's very religious in a weird way. Yeah.

Not biblical, but religious in a like science fiction way. There's some ones that are like full biblical, like black Templars. Yeah. Like straight on like crosses on their shoulders. It's so weird. Did you see the, um, this is getting way in the weeds now, but I saw a TikTok recently about like they were making a game that was kind of similar to it, but it was supposed to be like the competitor for it. Love Hammer. Love Hammer

Love screwdriver But they had It was like based in like Not as much religion And more like magic So there was a there was a class called like artillery witches And it was like

You know bunker mage And it was like Oh that's so sick Is it? I mean they're basically that They just don't call themselves that But Warhammer started in fantasy Oh hell yeah

It was like a world of fantasy thing Because they wanted to do D&D Without the D&D rules They made more rules Yeah they made another game With like crazier rules tape measures out? Literally, yeah, for anyone at home who doesn't know,

people will be, like, measuring things to be like, let's figure out the angle of this to see if my cannons hit because we have to be exact with the math. And I'm like, I couldn't. I can barely get through a game of Magic the Gathering, even though I love it, because it takes so damn long. Yeah, I'm not good at any of these types of games. I'm not a deck-building guy.

I'm terrible. I enjoy it for the social aspect. I'm so bad at it. I will never be good at that. But are you having fun? Champ. You have it a good time. Get out there, Slugger.

Yeah. Yeah. Do you enjoy video games in your spare time now? 100%. I can't stop playing them. Wow. It's all I do. Not only do I love video games, I love the industry.

And I love the people who make them, and I'm friends with, like, voice actors, and I'm friends with, like, directors of games and people who've made music and stuff. That's awesome. I can't get enough of it. Yeah. I go to the game awards every year. Nice. It's like four and a half hours long of ads and everyone complains, and I'm sitting there

being like, oh, this is fucking sick. Yeah. This game's coming out. Last time I went was when a Joker person. Sona 5 was going to be added to Smash Bros. That reaction was insane. Electric. Yeah. And the Hellblade and Diablo trailers happened.

And I was like, dude, hearing that in the arena. Yeah. It's pretty sick. The arena. Do you know video games? I play some video games. You video games sometimes. I do video games.

We don't play many video games on Smosh, though. We play board games a ton. Because video games are cringe. Yeah. I'm always saying that. How are your watermelons doing? Good, actually. Yeah, Star Do you.

Nice. Yeah. I actually though when it comes to board games I feel like I never get to play them in real life that often but the other day I was telling Spencer about this I was playing Flip 7 in real life I did that

and it's tricky to play it like I was like oh I gotta like not get as insane as I do but you know what we played and it fucking rocked was don't win Flip 7 and I told I texted Spencer media I was like dude we gotta do this because what happens the way we played it You have to flip one card.

But if you flip the first card and you get like a 12, and it was whoever gets to 100, you get eliminated. And so like you flip one card, you get a 12, you're like, well, okay, that's a lot of points. I don't want to like, I don't want to have 12 points. So I'm going to keep flipping cards and try to bust. In hopes that, okay. But then what happened was you get seven cards and then you're at like 76. Wow.

And you're like, shit. Now I need to keep like busting every turn. That's crazy. It's so much fun. I'm so excited to play here. Me and my girlfriend went on holiday to Jersey Island, which is like south of England. Jersey? Yeah.

Nice. Joisey. That's why we have a new one. I was about to joke and go. You guys got one of those two and I realized. You never believe this shit. They got a York too. Oh, we got one of those.

We got one of those. Copycats over here. All right. We went to a store that did like. Warhammer and they did like card games and all this stuff and we went in a flip 7 was there and we were like and the guy at the front was like this is crazy you can't get this anywhere anymore and I was like that's you guys yeah that's your I wonder I wonder how much it's due to us I genuinely think couldn't hurt

because of you I mean how many hundreds of thousands of views that video get and we had a good time with it it's like easy to explain to mom and pop and like it's I don't know it also has really good bits in it yeah it's it's one of the more clippable ones they also would we got that game, it said the greatest card game ever made. They weren't lying. They knew what they had on their

hands there. UiUGO begs to differ. Oh, magic together. You can play a little flip seven. What are we doing? Commander's standard or Flip Seven? Me at a poker table at 3 a.m. in Vegas being like,

you guys want to play some Flip Seven? You just lean in and be like, this is pussy shit. This is nothing. Let me show you a real game. All right, fellas. Tuzer Jackson. Kings are Blue Eyes White Dragon?

Let's play. Does your jersey have a Jersey shore? It would have to, right? It has a beach. So it has... Technically, there's a shore in Jersey. There's where Henry Cavill's from. Makes sense.

Where he got his Warhammer upbringing. Oh, is that right? At that very shop. Yep. Wow. They're funny. And they make butter. They have cows.

Oh. They have Jim Tan Laundry. Butter and Warhammer. I just sit in my basement. Eating butter, painting, man. What? Mom, not that's what? Marmere!

No butter. Sorry, Scott. You, uh, you tapped into this before the episode, but you do a, like, a perfect American accent. I thought, I thought I heard you do it. What did I do? You just started talking.

See, I can't do it on command. Oh, really? It's just like when you're, like, in the zone. Mm, I feel that. And, like, it has to be, like, a Southern or, like, Hey, what are these guys doing here? Like, it has to be, like, a thing. I can't just do like a flat. You can't do standard. You got to do like a certain region.

Yeah, it has to have a lilt to it. I feel that. All right. Give me something to say. Um, one bacon cheese burger. Borgher. Borgre. Borgar. Um, say, uh, I don't know how to tell you this, but we can't find the patient. I don't know how to tell you this, but we can't find the patient. That's Dr. House right there. That was perfect.

That's, there you go. And he's not American. He's not American. You can do a perfect English actor I can do a perfect guy doing it Well it's easier going our way to you Than you guys coming to us for accents I've heard that any American mouths are lazy apparently

Oh okay Wow As Kim Kardashian would say Get off your mouth and work No one wants to work anymore with a damn mouth Yeah but apparently your tongues Don't move as much as ours do We're just fucking making out

I'm just back it all the time fucking going at it tracks. No, I I, yeah, fair I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna tempt it because my, let me hear your British accent. Oh, it's a, which, like, okay. I'm not gonna tell

you where because I don't know and there's so many. I was about to say where and I'm like what the fuck do I know either. I'm trying to give you a win by not saying do your Irish accent. What region? Uh, because I know them. Okay, do your Irish accent. No, that's probably my worst one. Uh, and do a Irish accent, but I was saying potatoes.

I wasn't going to say potatoes. Come on, man. Come on. Come on. I was going to do it. That's the, you know how you always have like a sentence to get you into the character? Yeah, I'm just like, okay, let me. I'm here. Sorry, let me get into it.

I'll really quick. Wait, let me get into it. Ah! I hate my dad! It's just warm-ups. I think this guy hates his dad. Okay, let me warm up. for American, I would like

to pay for my health care, please. I'll be buying one health care now, please. Okay, I'm ready. I feel like if I hung out with you more, I would start to do, like, impersonate you. That's what I do, and that's why my accent is kind of like shifted to less Irish. Some words I say kind of Americanized now, yeah.

Oh, really? Because I say, like, there. And normally I would say dare. Dare. Yeah, like over there. Over there. Is where my accent normally would be. But so many people over the years,

of like, they like poke at it and then you notice it. And I'm that person who's always like changing shit and if I'm around it, then I absorb it. Sure. Interesting. Because of the tism. Yeah. It's also just fun. Yeah.

I like voices. I like accents. I like Yeah. Yeah. I feel like when I impersonate people, I'm more impersonating like mannerisms. I feel like if you actually like took the visuals out, I'm not good at voices. I'm more like a vibes person.

Yeah, right? That's how I feel about all of my voice acting. Really? I listen back to it, because you're really good. Oh, thank you. That's very sweet. And I can imagine you listen back to some of that and go like, that was good. I like that.

Oh, no, I still hate myself all the time. Okay. And he hates himself. I've done like very, like, low level voice acting, but I'll hear it back. And in the booth, they're like, that was great. Like, that was a great take. And I'm like, if you guys are happy, and then I hear it back and I'm like, he guys are fucking idiots.

I can't listen to this. But it's, look, it's hard to listen to yourself anyway, no matter what. And I think if you're especially specifically in one discipline, like you've seen yourself on camera so much doing gaming stuff, hearing yourself out of that context is always going to feel strange because you're so used to the other way.

Yeah, it's not the character yelling, it's like Jackseptychai yelling. Sure. Like I've yelled so much in videos that people are attuned to that so they pick it up quicker. Sure. Yeah. But that's what the people want. I guess so. It's not what I want. I want to be method. Pure method, mate. I'm moving

silence. I'm my face. brof, your pure method. He's good at it. Come on, he's good. Okay. I'm gonna, I'm nervous. Just, just, don't judge me. I'm not going to try.

I'm going to try to, no, I'm going to try to do Irish. Okay. I'm going to try to, but I feel like I'm listening to you. I'm trying to impersonate you. Everyone at home, Shane is stepping up to the tea. Okay. I feel like. I won't look at you here.

No, no, because it's like I'm trying to, as I'm listening to you, I'm, I feel like. like I'm, like, getting into, like, listening to you right now. And that it's, like, goes away. Yeah. Yeah. But if I hung out, if, like, if, like, keep talking. Like, if we're talking, like.

Hi, Shane. Hi. Okay. Hello, Shane. It is me. Okay, well, now you're doing. This is fun. Oh, my gosh.

This is fun for me. I put you on the spot and then fucked you over. No, because Irish I'm not good at. And it quickly, if I were to try to do it, I'd want to try to, like, get the, like, subtle version. Yeah. And that's really bad. I know I'm listening to myself, and I know it's bad, but I'm trying.

I want to support you, but I'm not the one who's able to judge here. It's also, I think a lot of Irish accents do live in that higher register. We live higher in our throat to do it. But you don't. I've yelled a lot over the years and changed my voice a lot. So I think my register just kind of like shifted down. Yeah. But when I was younger, I had a very, like, higher pitched voice.

Oh. I think a lot of people had higher voice. I think, not like that. Yeah, it was weird when I was eight. I had like this higher voice. It was crazy. That one day I was like, suddenly one day I was like,

anyways, guys, what are you doing right now? It's more in certain words and mine, like even two towns over would have had a different accent than I had. That's crazy. But it's like, it's saying words like car. Car. Car. Those are the words you need to like aim for, I think.

I drive my car. I drive my car to the bar. I drive my car to the bar in Harvard Yard. In Harvard Yard. We have that too for Boston. Yeah. Maybe it is the same jersey. Have we mapped this out?

Let me tell you about a thing called the Great Irish Famine, where we all left and came over and just went into your country. And now you're all claiming that you're all Irish. Yeah. I would never say that. Do you have part of Irish in your family? I think so. I do. My family, 1800s.

Dude, we'd be fucking. We came over and we were like, let's spread the spawn! Let's spread the seed. Dude, we were like salmon once we got to America, just everywhere. That's why all the bars said like, no Irish on it. It wasn't because we drank too much. They were just like, stop fucking.

Good God. No, you're not allowed. You're going to fuck. You can't. No shirt, no shoes. They're like, what are you talking about? No, I promise. I just saw Mary in there.

Oh, come on! Your pants are off. It's like, oh! I lost them in the famine. Sorry. I think a good Irish accent, you need to aim for the ones that aren't like the generic one.

You need to aim for, a lot of people do Northern Ireland. Okay. Which is a much stronger accent. Oh, really? Like Northern Ireland kind of thing. Or you go like full dope. Like, how's it going?

Oh, wow. That sounds difficult to me. Yeah. It's like, how are you going there, boss? You will? Yes. Fair play to you. How's your math?

My Mazd, I can't do Irish either. My Mazda's doing really good. Oh, you didn't hear. What happened? Oh, she ascended. No Irish person has ever used to order to ascend. She said she joined a cult and became higher as a being and now can fly and we can't get her back down. Floy.

Floy. There he is. Hey, he's a professional though. Oh, thank I can't. I'm like on the spot, it's like the same way as if you were like, oh, I do like sketchcom. comedy on YouTube and someone's like, oh, tell us some jokes. They're like, give us a sketch. I hate that. Oh, being put on the spot, it's always hard.

Yeah. I think Conan O'Brien said it best where he was like, I'm a comedian, but I don't do that. I'm like situational comedy. Oh, yeah, yeah. I feel like we're all the same where I'm like, standup, I hate like, I like watching it, but I'm terrible. I couldn't do it. Yeah. That would be, I would be the absolute worst stand-up comedian. I keep watching, you guys did like a stand-up thing at one point where people got up to do stuff and I was like, hey, better you than me, I would hate this. It's so hard. I am horrendous at stand-stand-up.

I'm just hoping that I sound funny. And then if no one laughs, I'm like, cool. They just couldn't understand my accent and my vibes. Yeah. That's what it was. The vibes are off. Songs in my eyes. She was much bigger than me.

If you wanted to do a stand-up TNTL with us, you could just go up and have such a heavy accent that nobody can understand what you're saying. And then you just hit these punchlines. You're just like, yeah, we'd probably laugh just to seem like we're not stupid. We all get it. Yeah, we understand.

You guys want to be good hosts. well. What if I just started like crying and pissing myself? I think that I that you wouldn't be the first and you won't be the last. That'd be so funny. I didn't want to be on TNTL but I didn't put me in for it because I think it's that thing if you don't think people are like ready for that that's a very sink or swim kind of and yeah and if people if you don't know if people like improv or anything like it is a very like be on the spot now be funny kind of thing. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You have to suss out the vibes first. Yeah. But I got to say I think we like your vibes.

Your vibes are pretty good, man. Our keys are in the bowl. You made a lot of swingers jokes today. Yeah, I was going to say. It just feels like that. That's my thing. I found one joke and it got a hit every time. And now I'm like, every single one of them have hit.

Got it. I'm just pulling the slot. How does Jack Septych guy on Try Not to Laugh? Well, he did a swinger's joke for every round. It was funny. It was good. It was fine. Was he really horny to anyone else?

Like Arasio was like slow down. And that was, that takes a lot. And then he made jokes about how the Irish just fucked all over America. And we were like, okay, yeah, for the biggest swingers of all time. Yeah, cool. All right, that's lore now. Okay. There we go.

Can't wait to go home and think about that while I'm trying to sleep tonight. No, it was so fun and good. Please don't. No, I'm fine. I'm fine. Don't worry about it. Damien, what are you doing? I don't know.

I'm really looking your, sorry. Sorry, really quick sidebar. Damien, what's going on? I don't know. Dude, your vibes have been off. I really actually have, and I'm so sorry. Yeah. You're so right.

A quick sidebar. I'm really sorry about him. It's okay. Yeah. Do you know what's going on with him? I don't know. I think he's a little starstruck. Okay.

Sidebar? Yeah. Dude, he's shit talking you. I'm so sorry. Which one is who that? Who is, are you talking about? I thought you knew. No, that seat's been empty for 10 years, Jack.

I thought that was Amanda. Sean, where do you think you are right now? Please wake up. The walls come down. Wake up. Yeah. Ladies and gentlemen, got him. Yeah. You just got Truman showed, uh-huh. Yeah, IRS comes in. Like, what did I do?

Dude, the IRS, man, not good. Yeah. We have a brand deal with the IRS. Oh, really? Oh, do we? Good. Because I got some things to say. The brand deal is no taxes. Yeah. Yeah. No more taxes. We're not going to give you money, but you don't have to pay us anything either. Yeah, we all got in a lot of trouble with service? Bad. This is one of those rare try not to... Where are you right now? It's gone. I was going to say this is one of those rare smosh mouths

that we film at the end of the day. And the vibe is always very different because we've just been doing stuff all day. Everyone just wants to go home. You've filmed like four videos today. I've filmed two. You only filmed two? Yeah, we've been in the same two. Oh. Yeah. I thought you filmed more than that. We hamburgered the day because we sort of

are like the top and the bono. I filmed two two game, two board game ones and now here. Nice. Here I am. Yeah. We're supposed to do Reddit stories, but I got sickie wiki. Yeah, I've fucked it up. You made a fuck-o-boingo Oops. Oh, oopsie-dupsy. Now you have to get in the forever box. Oh, I'm shitting. Who shitted? You opened Strodinger's box? You're like, oh my God! This is a bunch of shit and Jordaners like, ha. I thought there was supposed to be a cat in here. Oh! Well, I ate the cat and I turned it into poo. The cat's shit everywhere.

again. That Reddit stories is going to be the best, too. So it sucks, man. I remember when they broke his news to me. Just another thing to worry about when I'm trying to sleep. I think you have not a single thing to worry about, at least here. I think you have been beloved. He's so supportive. You're going to have the flight back to the UK, and you're just going to, someone's going to wake up in the middle of the night and just turn and see you in your seat just like, just thinking really hard. Just looking at them. I'll be hearing the sound of like keys in a bowl Just like in another room

Did I do it right? Did I mess it up? Oh shit! I blew it up Well that's the thing Because I was like, I'll be back We can do more stuff You can absolutely be back anytime you want

Because whenever you come on once It's like oh my God The pressure is so high to be funny And these things It's so funny when I hear about that pressure Because I'm just like dude I did such good bits planned as well Oh man

For Reddit stories? No and just in general I was going to come in I bought a UCLA jumper off Etsy And I was going to come in and, like, to go to Angela, I'd be like, yeah, me too. Hey! I'd just like... She would have loved that.

She would have loved it. Well, the hope was to kind of, like, mess with her brain. Yeah. And then underneath it, I had a chosen shirt with me. Hell yeah. Dude, I almost wore a chosen shirt today. But I was like, I can't, like, that's, you have to save that. That can't just be like...

Because then you're just sitting in a chosen shirt and then you're just that guy. Then there's the afterward, yeah. Fair. Fair. I got to be honest, I was nervous for today. Really? Yeah. I had the nervous vibes.

I wanted to live up to your expectations because I know you're a fan and I never want to let someone down That is the most Damien thing you could have ever said Damien, my expectations for you were never high to begin with The bar was in hell and we brought a shovel

That's the most jackseptic guy thing you could have ever said Didn't hit as hard as his though fuck no no you can say one too I don't have any go on I don't you're just being too nice

my favorite thing is banter and like shitting on each other that's all we do yeah yeah so feel free oh fuck you oh dude yeah stink

fuck you I don't think that's Damien's vibe we're all insulting each other Come on. Come on, we're all making fun of each other. You collect 400K, and I can't get over that. Do you also have any other collector things? Because I collect a lot of stuff.

No. Well, next topic. All right, move it on. Sick, dude. All right. I've tried to collect stuff in the past, but then I just ended up with so much shit in my house. Yeah. And then, like, game devs will be like, we have a thing coming out.

Can we send you a care package? And I was like, I have no. room. Yeah. I've started giving those things away though and people love it. Yeah. Like I Bioshock did one a long time ago and it was like there's only 5,000 of these big daddy statues and I remember, I forget who I even gave it to, but the person I gave it to was like the biggest Bioshock fan and they were like, oh my God, are you sure? And I'm like, yep. And now you get to be the hero and they get an awesome thing. So I do have a bunch of like cool statues. I have some like really sick like bloodborne statues in my room. I have

the hunter. Yeah. I have Hunter and I have Eileen. Oh, Eileen's awesome. I have, um... Sick, yeah, I've got that. The Moonlight Great... I have the metal Moonlight Great Sword. Yeah, I have the one from Eldon Ring, the big resin one. Same.

Yeah. I have that one in the thin one, like the Ludwig's Great Sword and then the... Yeah. Yeah, I've got the... Oh, Shane, you love Bloodborn? Yeah. Do you like Bloodborn? I actually do love Bloodborn.

I played Bloodborn first. Yeah? DeCino? Before I... Before I played it on your PS3? Before anybody else played it? I played it. I actually am a bit of a Dark Souls hipster

because I played Demon Souls back in the the day on PS3 before many people were talking about it. That's even before I did it. And I remember showing Damien it and being like, dude, I was like, and it's the whole reason it's my thing. Yeah. I was like, bro, this game series, I love it. It's pretty cool. So, yeah. Yeah, pretty much. What's your favorite one?

Probably the OG Dark Souls. I just playing that was so much fun. I had a blast. That was my first one. I think it was where I was in life. Because so much of what we love in life is where you were when you engage in it. Right? Like, everybody's favorite, like, everybody favorite Disney movies, probably the one that it was like that specific age that you were when you watched it for the first time. Same with video games. Like Zelda's the perfect example. Like, you know probably by someone's age what their favorite Zelda is going to be. Sure. Just because it's like, well, I was a kid when Ocarina of Time came out. Mine's Wind Waker, but actually no, mine is Breath of the Wild. I never played Ocarina of Time. Wind Breeder. You never played Ocreen of Time? I never had an N64 and none of my friends did. And then I got older and like, it's tough to go back. It's, it's, yeah.

It's not, it's... And I'm so sad because I know that that would be my favorite game of all time if I played it as a kid. At the time, it was crazy. Yeah. But I never played it much back when I was a kid. I was too scared. The O'Connorian of Time?

Yeah, I'd get to that tree and I'd be like, this is crazy. This is scary. Healds his mouth. Like, yeah, I'm going to walk in your mouth, stranger in the forest. I know a thing or two about this. They tell me about this on the Sunday specials. One cool bragging rights Smosh has for the Dark Souls universe

is for Sekiro. there was a release event in Los Angeles and I went to it and so did Spencer on behalf of Smosh and they let us play the beginning of Sekiro for like a while. That's sick. And there was a specific like mini boss that the devs were basically saying like

yeah this is going to be like the hard wall for everybody and Spencer was the first person in that group to finally defeat that mini boss and that group was the first people to play it apparently outside of the devs and the testers. So Spencer is like the first person to have beaten that one boss Shout out.

So that's, I mean, I feel just honored to be in his presence sometimes for that reason. That's gamer cred, right? That's a real gamer cred. He's got that, you know. He needed that. He really needed that. He needed a win. He needed a win.

Yeah, desperately. So what's good, dude? Yeah, so excited to have you on. So, like, what do you do? So, like, what's going on, man? So how did you get into Internet? Okay. So you've had a whole day here. This is the end of your day here at Smosh.

Yes. It's coming to a close. What was your expectations versus reality? I think you guys are exactly what you're portrayed to be. I think that's nice. And I've met a lot of creators and you've met a lot of creators and you've met a lot of creators who are not. And that's fine. Sometimes it's better or worse. Sometimes you need to put on a persona to get through what you're doing. But you guys are like literally exactly.

exactly what you guys portray. Nice. Thank you. I think that's why it works. Because when you're watching it, like, even for me, I'm like, I'm there too, guys. Yeah. I think, as you've seen today, like, it would be really hard for us to, like, try to fake this because we can do so much.

Well, it's not that you would fake it. It's just that there is, like, a machine going on in the background. And it's a fairly sizable operation. But it's so easy to just get, like, jaded by it, come in, put in a shift, like, go through the motions. but you guys actually show up and you want to have fun and you are friends and you do care about what you're making

I think it is definitely a very special place and I know that sounds corny but like everybody is very supportive like there's not really that I see like ego gets in the way or anything which is cool and like so rare it's extremely rare especially because you've been

how long have you been here the same amount of time no Shane was here two years before I was but we both been here a long ass But Shane opened the door for me to get the audition for the year, so, yeah, so that was... But it's a long time. But it's just easy to kind of, like, get jaded by it or just, I don't know, just not want to do it anymore. I think it helps that Smosh has been so good at pivoting throughout the years, that it doesn't feel like same-all, same-all. It's still new.

Like, even Smosh-mouth, like, oh, it's only been a couple of years that we've been doing this specific thing and a couple of years that we've been doing Reddit, and it's all new, so... It does feel like a... It doesn't feel like I've been at the... the same job for 10 years. I guess that helps, yeah. Yeah, it's definitely a new... I'd say it feels like I've been at this job for like two or three years.

Are you guys aware of just how beloved you are? I... Thank you. Thank you, yeah, that's very nice. I think it goes in and out. I think sometimes I am like, wait, are we... How big is this? Or like, what do people actually think?

It's easy to, like, look at a group of people in this sort of sort of... space and think like you're all just like bit characters like cast doing a thing that you're a lot of people's perceptions like individually you're like you're nothing without the group but I think all of you guys individually all have like your strengths and you're all like beloved by the internet and people like I think that's also very rare that outside of the thing you're actually doing here people really care about like who you are and what you're doing yeah which comes across in like the genuine nature I think if you bullshit people it gets found out

you can't lie into the internet they'll figure you out pretty fast yeah that's so nice thank you it's i don't know sometimes it's um i mean i i definitely feel that at certain times and like in certain pockets i also think sometimes the algorithm is like oh you you being damien we think you're a fan of damien so they'll show me all the stuff so like good and bad so it's just like you know i think i get like an even spread of like the good and the bad so i don't necessarily think of everything good all the time, I think that's healthy, though. You can't, like, that's how you get an ego if you're like, I'm, I'm incredible. Everyone fucking loves me.

Yeah, yeah. I saw a crazy thing one time, which was maybe you've seen it, which the singer of Slipknot was talking about you. Yeah. I heard about this. Because his son is like a fan of Smosh, and then it was like a thing of his son on Instagram being like, I put on a Smosh video and his dad came in and was like, oh, Shane's not in it.

And I didn't want to watch. And I'm like, dude, that's Cory fucking Taylor. I know. I heard about that shit. That's awesome. It's so funny. I was like, okay, hell yeah, man. That's so cool.

I was like, the lead singer of Slipknot. Watching Try Not to laugh is so silly to me. Just him on the couch and a beer, being like, that was a good one. Nice. That's great. Hell yeah. It's wild to me. Like, I don't know.

It's trippy. Yeah. It's trippy. And that's what I mean. Like, you guys have been here for so long, but it feels like right now. It does feel. it does feel different. It's definitely different.

Maybe COVID helped everyone kind of became a bit more parissocial over that. I also think just kind of the nature of like the nature of what content is doing well changes. And I actually do attribute a lot to like just, I think improv

has made a little bit of a comeback. Yeah. Like I think dropout being such a big thing too. I was going to say dropout's huge too, yeah. I think drop out being such a big thing has like also helped elevate us like at the same time. Well ensemble casts have always done well.

Like critical role or have been around for a long time as well. but even like, that's why K-pop is popular because people are like, this is the team and I have a favorite member and I'm going to be on them. I love all of them, but this is my bias. And it's like, and everyone like fills a niche and a gap.

I mean, there is a parisocial element to it, but I think in this way it's a lot more positive. If I were to venture a guess as to part of it too is I do think we're struggling in the world right now with people just feel lonely. Yeah. And I think you mentioned like, oh, we're all beloved,

but I think you could probably ask, Any person who watches Smosh, like they might have like, oh, I love this person, this person, this person, but they won't love any of them as much as they love, I love this person and this person. I love this person and this person. I love the dynamic between these two. People love seeing a relationship on screen. They love seeing a friendship. They love seeing that dynamic. Because I think people are, I think all of us are a little starved for it nowadays, too. So it's a bit of a bittersweet thing. But I think we provide that to a degree for. for people out there. I would agree. Even when I got into it recently, like, that was my feeling watching it being like, oh, they're all friends. And not that I'm sitting there being like, I'm one

of them. Hello, Damien, best friend. Well, you are now. Canonically, in Smosh, Lord. I am. I'm a cast member now. Yeah. I do get what you mean. Because, like, if there's ever, like, people sometimes, like, I'll see the algorithm be like, oh my God, Damien quit Smosh.

And like, no, and would never. But, like, if I'm gone, for a week when people are filming because I'm doing a convention or something they're gonna spread out that content through a couple months and people are gonna be like he's gone so during those times

I get to watch a lot of smosh content without myself and yes those people are my friends but I do watch it and go like oh my god I immediately get what people are seeing it feels like I'm there and you all want each other to succeed yeah no one's holding each other down there's no bitterness 100% absolutely it's great Sean would you ever be

a part of something like this would you ever do an ensemble situation? Yeah. I think what I was saying earlier, I think I'm better in a group. I think I bounce off people better. I've done solo stuff for so long that I'm kind of like, I don't know, it's not just

that I'm like, oh, people are sick of me. It's like, I think I'm kind of like sick of myself in a way. Okay. Like, you kind of like flanderize yourself after a while. Good use of flanderize. Thank you. Wow. I have not heard flanderize used.

I don't know. You just ever, I don't think. Really? It's about Ned Flanders. I was going to say. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

he just became the character that he was just, you become a stereotype of yourself. Ah. You're not a character anymore, you just become the thing that everyone knows you as. Interesting. I'm not enough people are like telling you what you are and I'm like I believe it. Sure. And I'm like, I double down on that and I'm like, I don't really know

what I want to be or what I can do or like you put yourself in a box in a way. Sure. So I think breaking out of that would be really helpful. But I'm also like, I don't know, I don't really have anybody that I hang out with regularly enough to be like Okay, come do our thing. Well, Sean.

I don't live here. Well, to fix it. Now's the time to move to America. Yeah. Now's a great time. Come on. The best time, they're saying. Or do you want to hire people to be employees in Ireland, giving them a visa?

I've been pushing the Smosh in Europe agenda quite heavily today. And everyone's like, say it more. And I'm like putting it out in front of everybody. Hello, I'm Damien, the new leader of DesMash. Welcome Yeah, we're cool with that Come on over, I'll show you around That'd be sick, man

The whole building You guys got pizza there? Hell yeah I'm in One might say The birthplace of it Oh yeah, Dublin New York City

We call it Olds New York Let me get you a Sparrow slice Wow, Sparrow You guys need to come over for something And so many people I've talked to today Who are like Oh, I've never done that flight Have you been to Europe?

Yeah. You've been to Europe. I did MCM London last year, and I'll probably be doing another UK con this year. I've been to London a couple times, and then I had the chance to go to Edinburgh recently, but I really want to go to Ireland.

Ireland's cool. I've never been, and I've heard it's so fun. I love Ireland. I think I kind of need distance from it now because so much like childhood shit and stuff is attached to me. That's fair. You going to Ireland is like me going to Florida.

Yeah. Oh, yeah. It's cool. Very similar places I've heard. Yeah. Lots of alligators. Yeah. Yeah. I think I love Ireland more at a distance and like visiting in periods. But I don't know if I would ever go back and live there. That's fair.

That's entirely fair. There's a lot of memories attached with and not entirely great. That's how I feel about Georgia. Like even being in the Atlanta airport, I like get this feeling of like... You're from Georgia? I was born in Germany, raised in Georgia. And so I just get this sort of heavy feeling in my chest where I'm like, ooh, this is a bittersweet, like, I'm back here

and there's a lot to unpack. Can I please just make my connection? Yeah. So, yeah. I feel like it. It's kind of sad to say, though, because I do really like Ireland. I think it's one of the best places on Earth. It's beautiful. Well, both things can be true. I think environmentally Ireland is, like, top tier.

It is really gorgeous, from what I've seen. Yeah. I can't, I mean, I was going to say, do I feel the same way about Florida or Arizona. Would you ever live in Florida again? No. No, I never, I was only there the first two years and died there. Is there anything good about Florida?

There's good stuff about Florida. Okay, name three. Okay, I actually can. I've got some, too, if you need help. Yeah, okay. The Everglades are cool as hell. They are a wild place. What are the Everglades exactly?

The Everglades is a giant national park that is like a swamp. Okay. And it's tons of alligators, tons of wildlife. Think of like a dangerous swamp. Dangerous, horrible, gross. Oh, yeah, a great place about Florida. Gross, horrible place. No, it's actually very cool.

Go out and like fan boats and stuff? Yes, I did, and it was awesome. And then Key West is the southernmost island off of Florida. That's like the vacationing place, right? It's a little bit of a vacationing place, but it's a tiny little, like, three square mile place. It's like a little fishing town, and it's a party town, too. Sure. But I would go fishing there with my grandpa and my dad, and it's just,

awesome. Like the water's warm. Oh. Like you jump in the ocean and it's like hot almost. Yeah. And there's just tons of, tons of wildlife and stuff. And then, I don't know, you got Disney World. Disney World. Disney World's pretty cool. You got delicious Cuban food in Miami. That's actually very true. I had Cuban food

down in Key West and I was like, this is some of the best food I've ever had in my life. You're pretty close. You're literally like 90 miles away. Damn. Yeah. It's pretty sick. Pretty wild. No, Florida's got tons of great stuff. It's a combo of a lot of things. It's just when it gets bad, it gets real bad. Florida, man, you know, doing their thing. Florida, the place is not the thing that gets to bad rap.

Right. The people. Well, there's also all the hurricanes, so. Oh, yeah. Fair. Yeah. Didn't think about that. And that's kind of the case with America in general.

Every state has its people. I live in Ireland. We have no natural disasters. That's crazy. None? And no lethal wildlife. That's great. Because all the snakes are gone. You got them out with that flute.

Yeah. St. Patrick came around with his stick and beat all the snakes out. We did talk right before this about the actual meaning of that. Yeah, it's about religion. And getting all the people they don't want out. All the brutes are gone, so now they can't wild shape in Ireland anymore. Wow. Okay.

Yeah. Well, everything's got a dark meaning. It sure does. It sure does. Yeah. Well, we have no natural disasters here. California. What?

It starts to change right now. A flaming earthquake. I've never experienced an earthquake. It's trippy. It's actually like, it's, my best way to describe it, it's like it's smoother than you think. Because it's a roll, it's like a, you're like, whoa, we're like, what's going on? It always looks like being on a boat whenever I see videos of it. It's like a land boat.

It's like, yeah, because it's not like, it's not a shake where it's up and down. It's side to side, and it's a very trippy feeling. I think it was one of those things like Quicksand, like, when you're growing up and see it in cartoons. Like, you think like Fishers are going to open up. I thought Quicksand is going to be a much bigger issue. All of us did. And I thought Earths would open up and split in Twain, and you'd have to like, John Claude Van Dam between the two sides. So like, oh, I'm falling in the earth. Never happened. Thought that too. Yeah. Yeah. No, we get that. I mean, and then I think, I think America is like a really

weird natural disaster place for anyone who's visiting who doesn't otherwise have it. Like in the middle there's just stormlands of tornadoes. You also have one of the most dangerous volcanoes if it ever erupts here. That's true. Oh, but it's faithful. You guys are too much.

We'll be right back. We'll be right back after this earthquake. I have um, the first earthquake I experienced in Los Angeles, I was watching a theater production at USC. and it was like classic Greek theater where like Hercules was going to go down into the underworld and we were sitting on like bleachers

and it was this you know it was this speech where it was like I will go down into the underworld and I will take what is mine and the bleachers started shaking and I was like wow I was like that's so cool they got like hydraulics going like that's such a cool effect

and then later it was like no man that was an earthquake and I'm like oh unearthquake hits while you're at D Box in a theater and you're like that was extra crazy in 4D Dude, Twisters was nice. I once, I think I've told this story before, but I once was watching,

I was one of the Spider-Man movies with Courtney, and an earthquake happened during, like, one of the biggest fight scenes, and everybody got up and left for the exit. I stayed seated. Courtney stood up and was like, should we go? And I was like, no, man, what are we going to do? What do you do?

I was like, no, we're going to die. Wouldn't it be worse in the hallway, too? I was like, oh, yeah, go to the crowded exit. I'm like, I don't know, like, we're here. Dude, thwip. Miles Morales just actually saves you. Yeah, don't worry, he's got me. He's got me.

I had that same vibe. I had one happen while I was at, like, a crab boil restaurant. Do they have those in? And then a tidal wave hit. Then free crap. No, it was like shaking, and everyone was like getting down under the tables. And I was like, if I'm going to die, I'm going to do it with like a crab leg in my mouth. Like, this is buttery in this.

She's like, take me now, God. I got my scrimps. Maybe, hey, maybe one day it'll happen. Yeah, probably. Fingers crossed. Can I say, so before we go, Damien might be starstruck, but not nearly a starstruck.

I wouldn't say that. Nervous. Oh, yeah, he doesn't actually care that much about you. Okay. But our producer, Selena, is a huge fan of yours. Okay. Like, genuinely. To the point that she, she,

knows your blood type. Okay, actually, not. She told me she didn't, but I was like, find it out. Figure it out. So she did. Okay. Letting you know. What's up? Why do you need that information? To show how much we care.

We had joked like, I bet you even know his blood type. Ha, ha, ha, ha. And then she went and actually found it out. What's my eye color? Blue. Oh. Blue. Oh, my God, there. She got her right.

There was like a one in three guests. You couldn't do it there. what's the blood type oh positive you know what's crazy is that's what she had guessed when we were joking too I think I think that's right damn

I never knew my blood type growing up same because it was never a thing you'd like have to ask for it or whatever same I literally just learned yours I think I'm post oh positive too dude really because Irish

yeah isn't that the universal donor yes wow yeah man don't call us heroes Yeah. I'm the universal receiver, actually, so give me a little blood. Hey, that tracks. Oh, God damn. Damien walking into any bar. Hey. I'm the universal receiver.

Lip bite. Anyone. For any reason. No, I think AB negative can take all the blood. You're crazy. A little peek behind the curtain, guys. We talked about this beforehand. Selena, talk to Sean. It's not weird. Stop being weird, guys. We're just goofing. We're just goofing around.

People are on calls with HR already like trying to get her canceled. Yeah. If there's one person who we can never allow to be canceled here, it would be Selena. Yeah, what else would you do? We would cease, we would cease to do stuff. I think we would just have to say things worse

to distract. Yeah, probably. I would do that. We did talk about it beforehand. I was just trying to make you uncomfortable. Did you tell her your blood type? No. Oh.

So she found it. I learned my blood type, And I think it is that, but I also forgot about it. It's unlike a carrot at home, and I'm like, I'll keep this because I'll forget. Yeah. Do you? Yeah. What's your blood type?

Let's go! That's all sure of blood. Dude! I can't contribute, but if anyone wants to give me all yours, well, I guess that'd be fine. Oh, man. Oh, I don't want to give me your blood. Dude, actually, I was, if anyone in the room, I'd need some damn bone marrow if you guys have any of that. We'll work on it, Damien.

Okay, thank you. I know what you are. Say it. All positive. Yeah. Jump on, spider monkey. I mean, A.B. negative, that kind of made me think I'm a little bit of a vampire. Hey, jump on, spider monkey.

Jump on, spider monkey. It's me, Edward Cunning. No, Edward, her blood is too pure. You got to stop. Wow. Welcome to Twin Forks, Washington. We never grow up. If you go to Bakersfield, that's what everyone sounds like.

Really? So yeah, check it out. Give me a bird light and a hat. We're going to send Sean to Bakersfield after this. I want to watch the dolphins play, Finns up. Yeah, it's going to go great for you if we do this. Barkeep, I would like a hat. One hat and your finest mug of brandy.

Do you have any sours? You don't. Well. We are overtime. I would keep talking, but I know that as soon as we're done talking, people get to go home. I'm so sorry guys You're here

I feel for everyone in the room Because I know That those guys are asleep over there Yeah Tim, Tim is crying Check to see if he's alive Can someone shake him But dude This has been so cool

Thank you It really is so cool that I'm so happy to be here You're a flipping delight We're so happy to have you here I'm flipping the light You're a flipping delight Oh

I said you're flipping the light I don't know what he's talking about I was like, what kind of fucking Mormon-ass? You tripped the light fantastic. Your dancing has been really top-notch. Yeah. That's the second time I've heard Damien say that phrase. That's so sick.

Yeah. No, you're a delightful human, and I'm glad you came by. Thank you. I hope it brought the sauce. I'm going to be thinking about this when I go home, like legitimately. Good. I'm same. Because I'm like, I want the people at home to get a show.

This never happens. And then I come on and they're like, that's it? Oh, no, you did great. That's it? See, I'm worried I dropped the ball. because you're like a top tier guest and I'm like uh-oh Damien had to start with a top tier guest

that's it's tough you should have we should have started you off with like Angela or something Dude I don't You know work your way up Yeah yeah yeah I feel you Yeah no I'll unfollow you on Twitter when I leave That's fine yeah The only time we message was I send you that stupid edit I did

We announced the streamer games teams and he sent me like Dude sick comp or something I was like, dude, great, like, draft pick or whatever. Yeah, and who did you add? So, in the bottom right corner, I copied the, like, the circles of everybody that they had listed, and I added Suleiman the Magnificent of the Ottoman Empire. That's scary with the, like, turban out to hear. I was like, dude, you guys got Suleleman to Magnificent?

And I hadn't met you yet. He was like, dude, great draft pick. It was very funny. It was very funny. We're good. This didn't broke the ice and fucking shattered yet. You Titanic rammed into that ice. I felt so stupid.

afterwards, I'm like, he's either going to get it or he's going to hate me. No, no, I love that. When you responded five months later, it was great. It was just a thumbs off. No, no, I left him on red. I just double-tap hard at that. Oh, well, no, it's great. It's been a blast.

I look forward to getting to know you more. And not just at the table, but on the field. Nice. On the field of play. Great. I'm very happy to be here. I was also very nervous today. Cool. Well, good to know.

Can't tell. Thank you, sirs. Thank you. Thank you. Alright. We'll see you later. Bye. Hey guys, thanks for watching. If you want to get more, subscribe, like, and comment. Let us know who you want to come on Smoshmouth next. Ian knows everybody. Whoa, you made it like the X games.
