Pro Jared, you would solicit nudes from fans. We're essentially putting out myths onto the internet. We kind of facetune our lives on social media. Next week, I'm having Pam on the podcast. Oh, yeah, shit. The ex-girlfriend. Yeah. Wow.

That's boy. Uh-huh. I made a joke that my older sister was recently, she's newly single, but they would not work. What? It's weird for me. But it's not about you, Courtney. It's about my happiness and your sister's happiness. That's right, Courtney. Dude.

Welcome back to 102.7. This is Ryan Seacrest. We got Ryan's Roses coming up. We got a real hot one today. It's real crazy. Woo! Welcome back to Smoshcast. It feels so nice to be back in here. I feel like it's been forever, but I was literally only away for a week. Oh, yeah, because you shot the last one in New York.

Yeah, in New York. It just seems like so long. It feels so nice to be back. It's like putting on just a nice pair of shoes that you haven't worn in a while, you know? Yeah. You guys are my shoes. I put my feet in you. What kind of shoes are we?

Well, Shane, you're kind of like a clog. Okay. Courtney, you're kind of like a croc. Wow. Clogs and crocs. Yeah. They're basically the same type of shoe, just different material. That's actually true.

Crocs are just kind of like rubber, holey clogs. Clogs. It's probably why they have a lot of the same letters. True. Yeah. Dude, I went, when I was in the hospital in Amsterdam, because you know clogs are like a very Dutch thing. Yeah. Right. Some of the doctors were wearing clogs are like a very Dutch thing. Yeah.

Right. Some of the doctors were wearing clogs. Really? That would seem awful. Like genuinely? And so they're just clonking around? Not like the wooden clogs. Yeah.

I'll be right back with the results. Clonk, clonk, clonk. Yeah. The hall. Mr. Johnson, I have some bad news. Clonk, clonk, clonk. So, yeah, I guess people actually wear clogs.'s pretty great i can't believe you uh like i didn't realize you guys were gonna make the last podcast in new york yeah it was it was just kind of a

thing where i knew that i would be surrounded by youtubers that i admire so i was like maybe i can scam one of them into being on our podcast and the slow-mo guys were gracious enough to uh lend me their voices their beautiful british voices that's great um and yeah it was a lovely time so uh so we recorded this we recorded this on friday and something something uh uh very very juicy happened on uh wednesday night or at least that's when i got a text from a friend of mine who, who knows I, I privately,

I, I indulge in, in drama. I don't like to espouse it out into the world. Yeah. But you love, you love hearing some tea. Oh,

I love a good old juicy story. So there, there was a, I mean, this is coming out now on, on Wednesday. So it'll be old news by then, but there was a gamer by the name of pro Jared.

Oh my gosh. what'd he do um well first off I guess he kind of cheated on his wife um and that and that's been kind of like the whole the whole hoopla right now like currently everyone's just kind of memeing on him for cheating on his wife and sending out nude photos to people and his nudes are all over the internet now um he kind of set that comma up for himself though like with his statement right well yeah so he so he he basically put out the statement that didn't say anything about the cheating he was just like we want to seek happiness for ourselves and and you know during time, you may see a lot of rumors, speculation, and gossip going around. I ask that you make your own observations and come to your own conclusions. And then he proceeded to block his wife on Twitter. So that she wouldn't see the statement or something.

Right. But that kind of forces her to then make her own statement. Yeah. to then make her own statement where she says that she recently learned that he had been having sex with somebody else that's also online for many months. So, yeah. I can, because her tweets, there was like, what, 500 of them?

She was just spitting fire oh all day it was yeah and at first i was like dang this is crazy but then i was thinking about it and i was like of course she is this mad uh and a lot of her tweets were claiming that he was really manipulative and stuff and without knowing them i believe it because his statement was manipulative in itself because he was before she could say anything. He was going now before my before my wife says anything, just know it's probably not true. Rumors and speculation. Blocked her. Don't listen to her.

Come to your own conclusions. I'm like, come on, dude. And then the top response to that statement is apparently. Oh, yes. The the the accused mistress saying, if you need me, I'll be here for you. Yeah, which I'm like, oh, no, dude. Or should I say, shoot, dude.

Shoot, dude. Dude, if you're the wife or the ex-wife in that situation, you're seeing that. Oh, my God. There is no worse. That's the worst thing. It's like, oh, you're having an affair. Oh, you're now trying to make it seem like you're innocent.

And, oh, the top response is the person you were having an affair with. Nuh-uh. It's all gross. Nuh-uh. Yeah. I mean, they're kind of all in the same circle. I think I've met Jared a few times, and I've met the accused mistress several times. She's a very nice person. Yeah.

Um, I have nothing, nothing bad to say about, you know, my interactions with, with her. cause apparently he was telling, uh,

Heidi that he was like, or he was telling Heidi that there was nothing. And then he was telling Holly, like that he was gonna break up with Heidi. So she was under the impression that he was going to be with her. So I don't know. It's still. to me,

to me, like like like the cheating stuff that's that's just kind of a personal thing and and i don't even think that people need to really be ragging on people for that like the thing that that really bothered me was the fact that apparently he had started a tumblr account and then later on a private Snapchat account where he would solicit nudes from fans. And he would also send pictures of himself to them. Those are everywhere now. Mm-hmm. I also, I mean, there's some, you know, unsubstantiated claims that uh some of the people may have been underage so i think probably around around by the time this podcast comes out there might be more evidence yeah

related to that more you know it's it's not not looking good for for this guy that is a big yikes that's a big food dude for me that's a big big old yikes. Well, the crazy thing is she knew about it. Well, she had known about it before with the Tumblr account. She said it was like a very like. Heidi did? Yeah. She said it was like it was posed as a very like sex positive kind of thing and it's consenting adults.

But the problem is he's in a position of power above these fans. You know, they're looking up to him. You have a certain responsibility when you have this kind of power. And if you're using it to get nude photos from your fans, it's kind of fucked up. It's very, very messed up. It's a bad, it's like a bunch of people make that mistake too. Like there's so many male influencers

probably female well and and if he's manipulative towards his ex-wife you wonder like how was he also going about getting nude photos from fans you know is there an element of manipulation there as well i don't know i mean we don't know um yeah i mean uh austin jones who was a youtuber that was soliciting photos from underage girls, just got 10 years in prison. He's just sentenced 10 years. Bye-bye. Wasn't there another YouTuber, or was it the same one,

who first came out a while ago? I think it was him. Same guy? Yeah, because it was a couple years ago that it all came down. And then it just took a while. It takes a while for this to happen and uh i'm sure this won't be the last time we're hearing of of uh pro jared some dude some just fantastic memes came out oh yeah like pro zd was like man really not a good time to have your username start with pro oh and then he was like uh but the

easiest way to tell us apart is that i don't cheat on my wife oh my favorite response underneath his statement was a some fan i think of his said i'm so sorry pro jared like i'm i fully support you and then like a response like 20 minutes later was, I just read what happened. I take back what I said. Oh, my God. Top 10 anime redemptions. This whole clown meme thing that's going on, this started where people bring in the clown nose and they're like, yo, he put his clown suit on when he woke up this morning.

This is all so new to me. There are so many clown memes just in regards to the mistress and Jared. It's a freaking disaster that we're just seeing unfold right in front of our eyes. The gall to say, hey, I'm putting out this statement before my wife says anything. Don't listen to rumors. The way he worded it is what kind of, yeah, I'm just like, that was. It's so weird i i love i also love like you know more memes but uh a guy i follow his name is jared um and he's

like man somebody was saying like oh it's not not a good time to be named jared because that but also jared from subway oh my gosh yeah so. So, you know, I think the, I think the name Jared might not be a very popular baby name for a while. Yeah. Yeah. It's so funny how things

like that happen. Like I bet there's going to be several babies named Sansa, like Sansa. Is it Sansa or Sansa? Oh yes.

Daenerys was, was apparently. Arya is probably going to have a. Oh, so well there's, there's like a, Arya has been a kind of well-named for a while because of Pretty Little Liars.

Oh, they have an Arya too? Yeah. Man. At least Arya's a normal name. Yeah, that one's... Like, Daenerys is a little ridiculous. I'm going to name my son Dragon. Okay.

So, Dragon and Night King. I'm just going to name my child, the hound, the hound top, but you have to have the, the, the hound. Yeah,

exactly. This whole, this whole pro Jared thing, not a fan. It's pretty rough. And it feels like every week there's something like it. Well, yeah.

And I feel like everyone's, everyone's like focusing so much on the cheating thing. And I think it's a lot of, a lot of people are probably hypocrites because I think cheating happens a lot more than people think.

But I think a lot of that also is that it's very personal for everybody too. Yeah. So that's why people do get so heated whenever someone like, oh, this person

in the public eye cheated. People have been on probably both sides of it. So they have something to say about it or they feel a lot about it. Yeah. Also, we don't know what their relationship really was. You never know. So why, you know, we don't know the whole backstory. Yet cheating is obviously terrible.

And it's even worse if you're actually married. To me, the really disgusting thing is soliciting nudes from fans. You're in a higher position of power. Whether you're a boss manipulating your subordinates into doing sexual things, or if you're a celebrity manipulating your fans into sexual things. It's so messed up. Yeah. It makes me sick. Well, speaking of manipulating fans, guys, we have merch now.

Uh-oh, merch. Whoa. Hey, buy this merch or else. I mean, if you want. Only if you want. Yeah. Yeah, we're not manipulating you. We're not manipulating you.

Please buy this merch Or else I'm gonna be Very sad I'm gonna be so upset And you wouldn't wanna Make me very sad Would you I'm just gonna take a drink

From this Smosh Bottle That keeps things Cold or hot Or hot Oh my gosh You've got your Iced coffee in there

I've got my hot coffee in here How long does it keep things hot Like 36 hours or something I have I have filled this one With Orbeez Drinking some Orbeez this one with Orbeez. Drinking some Orbeez?

Drinking some Orbeez? Well, that might feel weirdly amazing. As you slowly die. What a way to go, you know? Choked on Orbeez? Oh, how do you think it would come out? I feel like there needs to be like a Mr. Beast video where he like eats. Mr. Beast is going to eat a bunch of Orbeez. Yeah, he eats a bunch of Orbeez and then see how it comes out

in the poo Do you think it would be together or do you think it would be like digested? Yeah it would probably pop That would be cool This is just crazy to think about in a picture in your head Courtney's loving this. Someone has to do it.

I've never seen Courtney enjoy something more. I'm really glad we moved on from the pro Jared stuff to what would it be like if you crapped Orbeez? That's the topic we meant to get to

on this podcast. This is how, this is how our conversations always go. It really is. Dude, wasn't us, we've done, we were, you know?

Uh-huh, yeah. Did you, have you ever, did you, did you, did you, did you, did you, did you do anything? Do you so much you could do anything? God, I've been quoting that nonstop lately. What I was trying to say was the last time we was on the podcast was the first episode ever. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. We're different people now.

We've grown so much since then. I know. You know, back then we were all single. Now we're all single. God, that's crazy. Man, like because the state of where we were, we were still figuring things out. And it feels like now this whole ship is running really great. Yeah.

I don't know. It's really cool. We were at the beginning of our voyage. Yeah. And now it's smooth sailing. Yeah, that's correct. Maybe you can just try a little confidence in what you say, Courtney. Boy, now things are going really good.

Things are really good now. It's just A-OK. We're having a lot of fun, right? Stop. Boy, this is going to be really successful, huh? Sorry. Guys, I'm having a weird morning. I accidentally poured creamer on my toast

What? Yeah That sounds really good though Wait wait wait No it was awful It was avocado toast Oh Okay I had like almond vanilla creamer

And my coffee next to my toast And like I'm just It's like a weird morning It was hard to get out of bed You know I just woke up on the wrong side of the bed And just

I poured almond creamer on my avocado toast. And I was like, just yelled, Courtney, what are you doing? Was that here at the office that you did that? Yes, this was moments ago. What? I just had to eat the toast really fast. Oh, you ate it? What kind of creamer is the question?

It was almond vanilla creamer. Oh, no. It was awful. It was awful. Oh, God, It was awful. It was awful. Oh, God. That's the worst kind for toast. It was like a silver dollar sized drop. That's not bad.

I thought you like dumped it. No, it was just like a... Oh, okay. But I had to eat that part so fast and it was awful. And then I had to like try to enjoy the rest. Yeah, it's nothing worse than soggy bread. That sounds really awful. Yeah.

I've been crushing my mornings lately. Yeah? I'm just crushing my mornings lately. Yeah? I've been just crushing my mornings. You've been hitting the game? Like, I have had a system this week, and I have just nailed it every time. Wake up, 6 a.m., go to the gym, like, quickly just throw on all my stuff, hit the gym. Get back from the gym, start making some coffee, grind up those beans, start boiling some water. Then I make some pour over coffee.

Boom, that's done. But in the meantime, I was making a protein shake. Same time, got both of those taken care of. Is this why you're always late? I am 15 minutes late because the pour over coffee and the protein shake require focus and time. Yeah, well, pour over is the way to go. If you're going to be, you know,

a good boy about coffee, pour-over is primo. It really is a game changer. Yeah. I'm still on that Keurig life. Yeah, you got to get off that, man. Keurig's a fucking joke. We have a Keurig machine in our office and recently it broke because fuck the Keurig.

And recently it broke, and everyone was like, oh, no. I was like, oh, well, now you guys can get some self-respect and have real coffee. Self-respect? Damn, dude. It sucks. I mean, it's just quick. It is quick. Yeah.

But I don't know. For a bachelor like myself, living alone in a studio apartment in LA, you got to be quick. Well, no, you got extra time because you don't have to worry about anybody else. It doesn't even take that much more time. It doesn't. And it's cheaper. Pour over. Pour over.

Yeah. Pour over is, yeah. It's cheaper. Because Keurig, I realized I was spending so much money on the K-Cups, and the K-Cups are polluting stuff. Very bad for the environment. Yeah, it's so much better. And you have to clean them regularly,

or they get all clogged up and gross, and then you're drinking that gross ass. You basically have an aquarium attached to your coffee. Like literally at a certain point, you're like, there's fungi growing, now there's plankton, now there's, oh my gosh, next thing you know, there's a fully grown moray eel in your Keurig. Right.

And it's affecting the taste of the coffee and it's not good. Yeah. So we just had to throw out the Keurig here because it's broke. We got a new one though. And we're descaling it, right? That's so gross. I don't even know what that means.

It means they're getting out all the poison. Scraping the barnacles off. I think we tried to, but it's just completely busted. I think someone was trying to do the self-fill K-Cups where you can pour your own ground coffee into the K-Cups. And I think they were putting too much. And so ground coffee was just building up in there. And that's why

it broke. Well, or just broke because it's a sign from God that you should treat yourself better and have real coffee. Treat yourself, okay. Like the cultured person that you should be. That's right. Anyways, it's time for our first sponsor, Keurig Coffee.

Don't think we're going to get sponsored by Keurig, and I'm kind of okay with that. Yeah. Didn't the creator of Keurig, like he created it, but then he realized the damage he was doing to the planet? I believe that's the creator of the AK-47. Okay. Is that a real story?

He said that he regretted uh make creating the the gun wow because it's like it's a common gun that's now used everywhere for all things sorry it's no it's fine that's that sucks i just had to take your your fun thing yeah you did a sad thing sorry no it's sad too the guy who created keurig became a thing, got super successful, realized he was destroying the planet, and then he sold the company and went off to go do things to help the environment. Just like Flattenberg. I'm pretty sure that's what I heard. Fact check me.

Well, if he was really sorry about it, maybe he'd use all the money that he made to— I think that's what he's doing. Okay, good. Well, good for him. But, I mean, he had to have known. He's like, if this is going to become popular, there's going to be a lot of these plastic cups just, like, going everywhere. Maybe.

I don't know. Pour-over is great. French press is great. I mean, I still use my Mr. Coffee from time to time if I'm feeling kind of lazy and if I want, like, coffee for, like, an extended period of time. You know what I mean? Right. So, like, if I'm watching something, I want to like keep my coffee out.

That's fair. If you want to keep it out. Yeah, out. Yeah, I got to get a burr grinder though. That's like the grinder that you could choose like the coarseness setting. Right. This is all very important knowledge, and it's probably so boring to some people. But I'm –

I just have a routine. Like I get out of the shower. I put moisturizer on. I run, start the Keurig, and then I like go put like a little bit of makeup on and then the coffee is done right then and I can come back and just have the coffee ready and keep getting ready in the morning. I don't have time to stop and like grind shit up and – It's fair.

You're right. And be like – You're right. Saving the environment just is too much work. I'm a piece of shit, aren't I? Ian, I've never seen Ian

so passionate. Look, it's fine. My car gets like 16 miles to the gallon. Yeah, yeah, even it out.

Yeah, I can't really talk. So, yeah. This reminds me, I've been dealing with this dilemma lately of, I want to be a better person and i don't know how to go about it that sounds weird but i mean like i i wanted like do

good things like we're talking about like oh saving the environment whatever i'm like how do i do good things like what's the best route because sometimes i'm like oh i should donate to charities but i don't know which ones to donate to because i'll often hear stuff like, oh, that charity, they don't use the money right or whatever, blah, blah, blah. And I'm like, where do I volunteer? Like what, if I were to go out today, what is the best thing I can do that would affect the world and the people in it best? I don't know.

I know there's websites that kind of weed out the bad charities and foundations. They'll be like, these ones are the good ones to donate to. These ones are bad. They only send this percent to actually help people. So you can do that. I know we're planning some charity thing, aren't we? Yeah. I mean, we want to start doing some charity live streams just because back in the Defy days, they were just kind of like,'t make money off of it so what's the point i remember but if we give to people how do we make money

yeah yeah uh the charity if we give food to people who need food then where do we get food i'm trying to i'm trying to search it because yeah there's even like the large organizations that have done a lot of really great things like amnesty international and um unicef i'm trying to search it because, yeah, there's even like the large organizations that have done a lot of really great things like Amnesty International and UNICEF. I'm trying to remember which one it was, but there was like this whole like sex scandal that happened. Yeah, when I read about stuff like that. Was that Red Cross? I don't think it was Red – whatever it was, they were – some of the people that were working there were hiring sex workers while they were there. Oh, I remember hearing about that. Yeah. That's rough about that yeah i mean hey they're contributing to the local economy

what's wrong with that i don't actually i don't i don't know the story so i shouldn't i shouldn't speak out of line but uh i i totally hear you guys on on like it's it's hard to know like what is truly like the good thing and how much of that money is actually going to the thing for sure. Because like, you know, whenever there's a big disaster, they're like donate to the Red Cross. And then you have people that are like, don't donate to the Red Cross. It's so insane. And I'm always, I'm just, I often end up not doing anything because I'm like, oh, I don't want to donate if that's only going to hurt things.

But I want to help, but I don't know how. Yeah. And it's very difficult because there's so many things coming at you at once. And I've heard like terrible things about like Susan G. Komen Foundation for Breast Cancer. Well, and I think Wounded Warrior had a. Oh, Wounded Warrior. Yeah, like stuff like that so bums me out because i'm like oh what do i do i do little things i regularly like

donate clothes obviously because i shop like a madman and then i like sometimes i'll have like five trash bags of stuff and just bring those to goodwill like Like that's, even that's just helping a little bit. Yeah, I like to do things that, to me, that I can see the change, you know? Like whenever I'm running around my little sort of route, there's always trash on the ground. There's like trash cans kind of along the way. So I'll just kind of like run and like pick up trash as I'm going. So I'm like, well, I mean, if I'm not doing it, then it's just going to stay there.

That's sweet. That's really sweet. Well, and I feel like maybe in many ways the best thing to do is those small things that you see. And it's like, oh, if I pick up that trash, there's going to be less trash right there. And that's doing something. I don't know. We're doing something nice this weekend. We're taking care of some rescued horses.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We're going to go play with some rescued horses and pet them and feed them and water them. You say water them? I don't know. You give them water? You water them?

Yeah, water them. Just pour a bucket of water on the horse's head. Yeah. But, yeah, I like to do things that I can see a difference right in front of me. I looked into, like, Habitat for Humanity, but they, like, you have to be, like, a group, it seemed like, in order to, like, help out. Because I like the idea of doing something, like, physically, like, with your own hands. I've heard, like, soup kitchens are extremely depressing. Volunteering at animal shelters.

Yeah. Because you get to. I mean, a lot of kitchens are extremely depressing. Volunteering at animal shelters. Yeah. Because you get to- I mean, a lot of it is probably really depressing. I mean, helping people or animals in need is probably never going to be like, oh, super joyous and they're having a great time. It's like, no, you're helping people who are in desperate need of help. So it's not going to be- But like one time I joined my friends uh it was like my friend's real estate

company was uh planting trees and repainting a school oh cool and that was like really cool it's like oh all right like we're improving this place and you see that improvement right you know once you're finished and i felt really great from doing that i was like i want to do more of this but just couldn't figure out like what to do exactly. Yeah. I've considered going to like beach cleanups where it's like people

like just get together and then they just like comb through a beach. Yeah, I would love that. That I think would be, I would really. Didn't you have a video idea like that?

Well, I was saying because hashtag trash tag has been such a thing recently and that's so cool every time i see a post on reddit about that of just someone being like hey i took a trash bag and i went out and cleaned my neighborhood i'm like that's so cool and so inspiring so i thought what if we just made a video where we just went to a beach or went somewhere and just saw how many trash bags we could get full of stuff yeah yeah um i think maybe it's just a lack of people getting out there and like seeing

nature and like seeing you know places that they don't really get like an appreciation for not littering right because i've seen people just straight chuck things out the window of their car i'm like what the fuck are you doing we're all living here littering just shows such a lack of empathy because it's just like, ah, I'm not thinking about anything else. I'm just going to toss this out the window because it's easier for me. Sucks.

Really sucks. Not a fan. No. Not a fan. Nope. Not at all. Keurigs and littering. Get out of here.

Yeah. Get out of here, Courtney. Hey. Okay. No. I want to talk about that H3 thing The

The The Instagram situation Let's save that for a little later Oh okay Yeah We still got eight hours You know we could You got eight hours with us today

You know we could Just do a little drama bookend You know Yeah yeah yeah Smart A drama sandwich Yeah with litter in the middle. I heard, Courtney, your dad was robbed recently.

Oh, snap. Oh, yeah. Speaking of beaches. Okay, dude. My dad, he's a surfer. And he was out, you know, like you'd put your stuff on the sand and then you'd go out in the ocean or whatever. Apparently someone, and he always puts his keys and wallet in his shoes and i think a guy went into his shoes took his keys and his wallet went into his car took

everything out of his car like so he doesn't he lost his phone and his wallet um and the guy was gone the crazy part was we were all freaking out and like the location was off. Like we couldn't locate our dad's phone and he was like at the police station filing a report. Meanwhile, whoever stole the stuff, like because we were texting and like there's a group chat that we're all on. So like if he was seeing, he may have been seeing texts and stuff like that. Like I don't know. But he called my brother, Clark, the guy who't know but he called my brother clark the guy who took the stuff called my brother i don't know the details of like how the conversation went because my

brother just like doesn't tell stories all he straight up was like i i'll i'll leave the phone somewhere like what like i have no i have no idea because maybe he saw we were like oh we're filing a report but then he like would leave the location on you can see he was going somewhere it was it was so creepy like just seeing this play out is he gonna get his phone back it was late at night when we were all figuring this out and like they just were they kept like rechecking the location on the phone it was like moving and moving and then like i guess they just decided like no we're not gonna do this because my older brother and my younger brother were gonna go together and like try and retrieve it just in case like something would have happened like it was like a trap or something

i don't know but um yeah they like they just they decided to not go after it my dad got a new phone uh yesterday but yeah this literally happened monday night i think or monday tuesday i can't remember but that sucks man so scary just like the idea of something like that terrifies me that like someone was in your space doing something like really bad yeah like yeah it really I've always been I was I've always been like really sketch about leaving my things on the beach and like going to the water because I always had that's always my fear somebody's gonna like walk by oh what's that oh nice free wallet yeah that because I always, that's always my fear is somebody's gonna like walk by, oh, what's that? Oh, nice, free wallet. Yeah, that sucks.

I'm sorry that happened to your dad. That's the- Yeah, he's such like an easygoing, like happy guy. So it really sucks that something bad like that would inconvenience him. And he's like,

he's surfing, he's having such a great time and then his day is just fucking ruined. Well, yeah, he's like a truly selfless guy because he's a firefighter. Yeah, how dare the guy steal from a firefighter? Yeah. It sucks. Well, yeah, he's like a truly selfless guy because he's a firefighter. Yeah. How dare the guy steal from a firefighter?

Yeah. It sucks. Well, he definitely probably saw it. His firefighter plates and stuff in the car. Yeah, that sucks. Yeah, my dad's like original firefighter ID was in his wallet. Like he kept a lot of important stuff in there.

That really sucks. Yeah. It was a nice quality wallet too. It's like leather. And your dad's like retiring now, right? Yeah. This month is his last month after 35 years hey yo 35 35 years dang he never punched so many fires yeah and he fought all those fires with his bare hands yeah he punched some fires in the face drop kicking a fire 35 years as a firefighter is pretty damn good.

He still loves it. Really impressive. He actually got to train my older brother to be on air ops before he's gone. Like they just, they had like a couple of calls together and stuff. That's so cool. Like working with your son like that. So your little brother's going to be in helicopters too? No, Casey, my older brother is going to be in, is in the helicopters.

Oh, older brother. Oh, right on. Yeah. He's, he's on air ops now. And then I don't know what my younger brothers are doing. Our family is definitely like a lot of them do like government type jobs. Like we have two firefighters. My youngest brother wants to be like on the Coast Guard or something.

Clark wanted to be like a highway patrolman. He has to retake the test and stuff like that. It used to be that like like, the California Highway Patrol, you had to be over six feet tall or something. Weird. Yeah, they used to have, like, a rule that you had to be, like, this towering human. Weird.

That's really weird. Highway patrolman and Tinder, get out of here. Must be over six feet. Under six feet, get out of here. And be over six feet. Under six feet, get out of here. And then my sister was in the Navy, too. So there was like a lot of that. And then my oldest sister is married to a guy who was an officer in the Army. So basically you're just a failure.

Oh, yeah. Oh, my God, yeah. You went to the Internet. You too, man. I relate. I mean, my grandpa was an air force pilot. My dad was an air force pilot. And then I'm a YouTube sketch comedian.

And your dad was like in like the top gun. Like, yeah, they, well, they would, they would, well,

it's a like contest. I think that they would have like a, it's dog fights where you're not actually, you know, you're just against a comrades, but he kept winning. So he kept getting Top Gun and they eventually changed it so it was two P's

because my last name was Top. Aw, that's so cute. Top Gun. Yeah, around that time in the 80s, it must have been nuts because he was an Air Force pilot and Top Gun came out. Yeah, hell yeah. I mean, it's just ridiculous. That's wild. Yeah, they were both, I think they were both

Lieutenant Colonels. That's badass. It was pretty cool. Shoot, dude. Pretty cool. That's wild. Yeah, they were both. I think they were both lieutenant colonels. That's badass. It's pretty cool. Pretty cool. Shoot, dude. Yeah. And here you are. And here I am.

Just talking about poop. Yeah, talking about Keurigs. Corbis and shit. Yeah. That's right. Well, you know, life takes you in weird places. Yeah. Did you ever,

did you ever even want to be a pilot? You know, not necessarily. And I think maybe that was because by the time I was old enough to like really process stuff, my dad was so far up that he was more of like, he wasn't as much of a pilot at that point. He was like a squadron commander and dealing more with the bureaucracy of the military.

And that stuff just wasn't for, for him. So he wasn't, he wasn't like stoked about it. He wasn't like, you're going to grow up. And he was never urging it in me. Cause like you kind of, you age out of being a pilot pretty quickly, right? Like you have to be in top form. I don't necessarily know. I mean, he was still flying jets towards the end

like they're always doing it but you know never there was no action or whatever thank god I'm glad he didn't you know but yeah it wasn't something he was like you're gonna grow up and do this or I would love it if you did this so it was never he was super supportive of you wanting to be an actor

oh yeah my parents loved this they thought it was so cool so yeah no it worked out worked out well yeah my dad was super supportive of me being a youtuber like i mean i was around him much more than my mom but i think my mom was like kind of unsure about i don't think she really saw that like as like a thing that i could pursue at all but my dad he like was buying me, he definitely was, like, he enjoyed the content I made and stuff, even though it was freaking weird, as you guys recently saw. I mean, your mom is more of a fan of, like, traditional roles. Yeah.

Right? Yeah. I don't know. I've never really had that conversation of, like, what she thought I was going to grow up to be. I mean, because she says like, I've always been like really like different. Like apparently I was like a really serious child

and like a lone, like just a loner and very independent and just like serious. Just very brooding. Just, yeah. Well, my daughter's going to be Batman. So what went wrong? my daughter's going to be Batman. Yeah. So what went wrong? I mean,

like my parents didn't die. Yeah. Why aren't you still unhappy? Why are you all happy now? I don't know. I mean, cause my mom, she has a cool job.

She's like a web designer. She's like a crazy good at Photoshop. And like, she's still, she's a successful, like freelance website designer. So I don't know like she's still she's a successful like freelance website designer so i don't know she's she like is self-taught too like so she's she's all for being a working woman but yeah yeah i don't know i think and she she had us watch a lot of disney

movies so like growing up i was like oh i'm gonna be a mom and a wife and i'm gonna find my soul mate like that was definitely like what was instilled in me from a lot of things, whether it was mom, church, whatever. Yeah, and when did that change? I didn't stop feeling like I, I think literally up until last year. I was, or maybe toward the end of my last relationship, I was realizing, maybe right before the relationship started too too, was when I started realizing, like, I'm a working woman and, like, I don't need a partner. No man.

I don't need no man. Or woman. Or woman, you know? And, yeah, at that point, it was definitely I don't need no man. I was definitely still, like, all about the boys at that point. Yeah, I don't know. Because in middle school and high school, I was obsessed with having a boyfriend and being able to date and keep one. Because I think parents divorce and stuff.

I was like, yeah, staying in a relationship is good. And that's what it's all about is being a girlfriend. Like I was so eager to change my Facebook relationship status to in a relationship from single. Weren't we all. I had a day where I suddenly realized that like I found like I don't need validation from being someone's partner like or being a girlfriend or a wife or whatever it's I've found the validation here like from the fans and like making an impact like I have a purpose that's outside of being the traditional stay-at-home mom you know

i don't know yeah hell yeah but yeah that's it's pretty cool i was i was actually out with my sister last night i was telling her about that she like took my hand and she was like i'm really proud of you and that's oh that's great yeah it's not what it's all about you know the sister that um that you're gonna hook me up with on a date. Wow. Wow. We've been bothering, Courtney. It's a joke. It's a joke. Sure it is.

Dude. Let me tell it at least. Okay, so we're all single. But Ian's been like, can I say slang and dong? No, but you haven't. I'm not slang and dong. You're not. No dong has been slang.

You're not slang and dong. Ian has not slang a single dong, guys. How dare you appropriate my word and then use it. Falsely. How dare you claim I slang dong. Well, he's been dating. He's been in the dating pool and, you know, going on dates. I've been following leads, but I haven't really been.

Oh, my God. I haven't been. Is this how you pursue women? Successfully dating. A suspect. I guess. I'm like, that's. A suspect? Aha. I'd like to take like that's suspect aha

I'd like to take you out to dinner for questioning I'd like some evidence that we might be compatible I mean yeah that's kind of how how it's been

well anyway he's so that's what he's been following leads of suspecting women and we were having a conversation the other day

of like oh who can we set him up with da da da and I made a joke that my older sister was recently, she's newly single, but they would not work. Why? It's weird for me. But it's not about you, Courtney.

It's about my happiness and your sister's happiness. That's right, Courtney. Dude. Oh, my God. this is so awkward i don't know what to say like look your sister and i are the same age roughly we both live near each other so that's great for la dude boy you live close to each other? Well, I guess it's a match made in heaven. Evidence of a lead. That is a lead. We have a lead. In LA, if you live close to somebody, that's half of the relationship. Oh, man.

I've definitely ended a thing once because it was just too far away. You're like, oh, you're in Santa Monica? It was literally like we were a solid 20 miles away. And in any other state, that'd be fine. But it got to a point where I was like, this is crushing me. My back hurts from driving so much. You get to their house and you just fall asleep on their bed. I was like, I'm exhausted every time we hang out.

I can't do this. And also, it just wasn't happening. There was more reasons, obviously. But it's mostly the distance. If she had lived closer, I would have been like, I'll give this more of a shot. and also like it just wasn't there was more reasons obviously but it wasn't but it's mostly the distance if she had lived closer I would have been like I'll give this more of a shot I mean the weird thing is 20 miles if you're coming from Los Angeles

that's a long distance relationship yeah it essentially is because it's over an hour to like get to each other that's awful I'm not going to have you date an older version of myself sorry dude I've met her before she's not like...

I've met her before. She's not like you. No, we're very different. But I feel like she's... I don't know. You guys do not. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on, hold on.

Does she have a Keurig? Does she have a Keurig? Does she have a Keurig? Does she drink coffee? I don't think she has a Keurig. Oh, no. But she's nothing like you, Courtney. That's another lead, Ian. That's another lead. She's nothing like you, Courtney. That's another lead, Ian.

That's another lead. She's nothing like you. What do you guys think at home? What? Should Courtney set it up? No. No. I talked to Carrie about it.

And she's like, no. But is she just saying that for your sake? Yeah. Did she say you no she didn't say you carrie i'm so sorry does she listen to this maybe sometimes if i'm on it my family only listens if i'm not on it Does your dad listen to this podcast? Or he watches it Do you think he would approve? I don't know, man

Yeah, before you even start dating Can you get your father's blessing for Ian? Yeah, you know what? Get it out of the way Sure, Ian, go for it Shoot your shot I dare you No, no, in person.

You don't do that. I'm addressing him on the podcast. Sorry, Dad. Mr. Miller. Say your condolences for the robbery. My condolences for the robbery. May I have your daughter's hand in marriage oh my god

I see it cut straight to the point I'm done waiting that's smart I'm ready to commit kicking it old school oh my god dang could you imagine

what my I just like I all I can think about right now is the wonderful Thanksgiving dinner we would all have i'd come to your house and we'd all just have a lovely dinner together we'd share stories you know talk about the time uh your sister and i went to kazumel

pina coladas by the beach. Guys. Go on. That's it. We only took one trip. Oh, yeah. This is early on. Yeah. This is only what?

Seven months in? Well, we're talking about this Thanksgiving. Yeah, this Thanksgiving. So we're only like a few months in. Yeah, only a few months in. So one trip to Cozumel at that point is fair. Yeah, that's enough. Yeah. But Paris next year.

Yeah, that's probably where I'll propose. Yeah, you'd propose there. Right at the Eiffel Tower. Yeah, exactly. You already got my dad's blessing, apparently. Mm-hmm. Yeah. That's great.

Wow. It's been really, it's been awesome. Love this. This is really sweet. I just don't know what to say. What if Carrie came on the podcast? Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

Okay. Okay. That's fine because next week I'm having Pam on the podcast. Oh, yeah. The ex-girlfriend. Wow. That's, boy. Uh-huh.

Are you excited? Yeah, I'm excited. I think, so we're having, we're also having Pam on. So originally I was going to have Pam on for Two Truths, One Lie. On Spongebob. You were doing that, yeah. And we're still going to do that. But then we were in a meeting.

We were in like a pitch meeting. All of us were around a table just kind of pitching ideas for videos. And Pam sent me a text message. And she's like, hey, I was talking to Mari. And Mari is good friends with both Pam and myself. And she's like, I was talking to Mari. And she thinks that I should come on the podcast. And I was like, and like in the room, was like oh and everyone was like what i was like

um but pam uh thinks that she should come on the podcast and we were all like yeah yes absolutely dude it'll be great what's funny is like all of us who see you every day, I'm just as eager to listen to it because you're not someone who talks too much about it. Like you don't divulge personal information that often. So I'm eager to listen to like your guys' story just as much as I'm sure people at home are. Yeah. I mean, I think to me, and for her it's the same reason like i think it's important to show a healthy breakup yeah and that it is possible to be friends with

your ex uh not every breakup is a pro jared situation oh my god because you guys definitely are friends because i've seen her several times since and it's right it's weird because it doesn't feel any different in as many ways because you guys the friendship is still there so yeah i mean like it's it's it's it's gonna be it's different of course it's it to me it always just seems strange that you know and i'll obviously get more into it in in the next in the next podcast with her but it's it's to me it's strange when like why is it that like you could be the closest the closest you could possibly be to somebody and then you could share everything with this person and then the moment you break up

you're like enemies yeah you can't talk to them whatsoever yeah like how do you go from like 100 to zero yeah that quickly? And I mean, I can't imagine that every breakup is that way. No, I think all breakups are different. Yeah, but I've always had, I mean, my two real serious relationships have both ended amicably because I think we were always just friends first. I'm looking forward to it. It should be interesting.

But that'll be next week. So guys, make sure. So it's going to be Pam, myself, and Mari. Because Mari has a good insight into both of our lives. Right. She can be a good mediator if things get hot. Yeah. Heated.

I feel like she'll ask good but fair. Yeah. It's not going to get hot and heavy. Sorry. No, that'll be when the podcast with your sister comes on. Oh, no! Yeah, I'm not even going to say anything. I'm walked right into it, Courtney.

I'm just going to stare her dead in the eyes the whole time. Just be like, this is meant to be. You're just going to whisper. Hey, Gary. I'm so sorry. I'm done, Gary. Gary, I'm so sorry. I'm done, Gary. Wow, it's crazy that you're here.

It's the best moment of my life. So we, on Wednesday, the last, which would be last Wednesday, now that you're listening to this, we all saw a screening of Detective Pikachu. Yes.

Uh-oh. Dude. No spoilers. Yeah, there's not going to be spoilers. Don't worry. No spoilers. No spoilers. Spo-oh. Dude. No spoilers. This is no spoilers. There's not going to be spoilers. Don't worry. No spoilers. Spoiler free.

Uh-oh. But I guarantee there's Pokemon in it. Uh-oh. Spoiler. Uh-oh. Pikachu. How Pokemon are in the movie? It's really, it's very enjoyable.

I loved the animation. My big takeaway was if I was 10 years old, it would have been my favorite movie, maybe of all time, but definitely of this year. It's definitely great. I would say it's better, but it's comparable to a Spy Kids, right? Just awesome. Just in design and execution, I feel like. Just because it's definitely like just fun.

It's not some crazy detailed plot. It's just, you know, it is what it is. They made the Pokemon look so cool. I mean, it is a crazy detailed plot. I guess so. That is full of holes. Yeah, but once again, like I said, I'm kind of fine with that if I consider like,

ah, it's made for younger audiences. Is it though? I don't know. Okay, that's fair. It has a couple lines where I'm like, wow, all right. Yeah. A lot of kids' movies have a couple of those for the parents. True, true, like Shrek.

I feel like they're expecting a lot of millennials to show up to the theater to watch it. For sure, because Pokemon, everyone loves it. Yeah, Pokemon Go. I thought Jaden Smith was- it. For sure. Because Pokemon, everyone loves it. Yeah. Pokemon Go. I thought Jaden Smith was- Justice. Justice Smith. I thought Justice Smith was a little rough.

The acting was, you know, I don't like to crap on acting, but the acting at times I would describe was Disney Channel original movie type acting oh that's a great that's a great but a lot of that's also writing and like i can't just blame the actors for that because a lot of times writing and directing will affect that totally it all connects to its each other it's like that with um with twilight everyone everyone shat on uh kristen stewart but she's a great and i And I'm like, look, it's not always the acting. Right.

It's also the writing. Like, a lot of times they're just, they have to say whatever's on the page and if it's not good, like,

an actor can only do so much with what they're given. And directing too because sometimes a take or a shot will go on too long or be cut too short and then the timing

of their line is weird and there's a lot, I mean, directing too. Absolutely. Cause I've seen, I've seen low budget stuff where I'm like, I think this dramatic scene would be good if it was shot,

if it was shot well, but it, but because it's, you know, low budget and the lighting's bad and, you know, the camera work is sloppy. it just it just looks cheap right so it cheapens the the acting i don't know so i i don't want to complain i'm not saying he

was the worst actor ever but like the the beginning was like kind of rough like and in his defense also he was playing off of things that weren't there pretty much most of the time because he's communicating and having scenes with a pokemon that is not i don't know what they did in place of the pikachu but so he is having a scene with air essentially i mean his interactions with pikachu wasn't a problem. I will say, I think the movie was great on the fact alone that the designs of the Pokemon are so impressive. They actually worked. I was never bothered by any of the looks of the Pokemon. Pikachu was goddamn adorable.

So cute. Dude, every time. Every time the sad face, sad face Pikachu, like, I, there was a part where I got a little, I got a little watery in the eyes. Oh, no. Because, like, Pikachu looks so

sad in one part. When he got wet, and his fur was all matted, I was like, wow. Spoiler, Pikachu gets wet. Sorry. Dang. Just the cojones on them to be like, what Pokemon are we going to feature in this movie? Mr. Mime. Yeah.

Lickitung. Like some of the Pokemon they were throwing out there, I was like, those are the hardest ones. Even Greninja is such a like weird looking Pokemon and they nailed it every time. There wasn't a single Pokemon that I was like, that one looks weird. I have to say, Jinx was a little offensive.

That's the one I wanted, but they'll never do Jinx too much. The fight scenes looked so sick. There was a lot that's really cool. And the Pokemon were using very specific moves that are in the games. The fact that Greninja uses, this is kind of a spoiler,

but uses Water Shuriken. It's very cool. Those are very specific moves uh it's very awesome olivia said she cried like five times during the movie uh her boyfriend sam loved the movie that's great he he loved it and then like i came out and i was like i was like look all the parts of pikachu were adorable i loved all those parts. And he's like, and I started like kind of telling him my gripes. And he's like, oh, man, you're making me like it less. Aww.

But I'm not trying to dissuade anyone from seeing it. I just. No, you still should see it. I just had. I want it. There's a huge, huge plot hole. Oh, yeah. There's plenty of plot holes.

Just a big old gaping plot hole. Sarah Whittle was sitting in between us. Yeah. And she was, like, just constantly, like, I mean, her reactions, like, kind of made my whole experience because she was constantly going, oh, like, no matter what was going on, it was just, like, the Pokemon looked so cute. Yeah. I think it was Sarah Whittle and I that were talking afterwards, like, I just wanted it to be one big catwalk where it's just all the Pokemon walking across the screen and i would watch that for for days just because the pokemon looked so great i and and because i'm just a filthy gen one-er uh which means generation one pokemon the original 151 yeah because i'm such i'm i'm i'm a gen one-er so i obviously i was hoping to see some characters appear. I'm not going to say who.

I was hoping to see some characters appear and they didn't and I was like well that's fine. Saving them for maybe future movies. I have played every single generation of Pokemon so I was excited to see older generations and new generations of Pokemon displayed in the film. But they

did a pretty faithful job in the way of representing Pokemon. So good on the people that made it. I just wish the writing was just a little bit more solid. I hope it makes a ton of money so they make more movies with these Pokemon in them because I just want to see more Pokemon. Did you guys see the troll thing that they did on YouTube?

Yes. It's great. So brilliant. Genius, genius marketing. Where they said that it was like Detective Pikachu full movie

and it starts with like the intro and you're like oh my god. Like literally the first two minutes of the movie or something. Oh really?

It starts at yeah. Or a beginning of a scene like it shows Justice Smith a little bit. Olivia sent me it and I was like what? The whole movie?

Okay. And I guess I didn't watch it but I was like wait is this? I just skipped forward. I was like this can't be this has to be a troll yep and then it's Pikachu doing the 1989 uh so many views aerobics olympic or championship or something it's great so great and so belly bouncing around little belly yeah little feet his little feet dancing around a little twisty feet. Oh my God. I guess Ryan Reynolds said that he wanted to use a rough Brooklyn accent at first for

Detective Pikachu, and I'm glad they didn't. Yeah, that would have... I still am of the... I love Ryan Reynolds, but I'm of the camp Danny DeVito as Pikachu would have been... Would have been pretty adorable. Pretty great. Come on. We got to find Deandra.

Oh my gosh. We had a slight invasion in the office. What? Yesterday. What? What? The invasion of the Crocs. Oh yeah.

And boy, I was leading the charge. How did I forget? Oh, my God. We filmed the video for Smosh Games where it involves putting your feet into Crocs that might have terrible things. Yeah, because that meme, they're not even a meme,

just that video that went out. But we ideated that before the meme even happened true so it kind of kind of blows that that now that that happened oh we we took it to another level though well courtney took it to another level on an accident i'm not you know gonna tell you what happens i will tell you that things guacamole ended up on the ceiling. Yeah. I saw the video. It's pretty. It's insane. Pretty gnarly. That'll be coming out later. Yeah.

Don't know when. Sometime. Tune in. Yeah. We manifested that idea into existence and then someone did it first.

Yeah. But we definitely had that idea for a while. I mean, I a long time ago thought of the idea of the guacamole games that I wanted us

to film for Smosh Pit where we team up and who can make the best guacamole games that I wanted us to film for Smosh Pit where we team up and who can make the best guacamole because I make a mean guacamole. I know this. But then the loser has to put their feet in shoes with guacamole in them. Yeah. That was my idea.

But we didn't do it, but we instead are doing. You know, maybe because my issue with that is that the fans can't taste the guacamole. Yeah, they don't know. Through the screen. So maybe what we should do is that should be our tour. We should do a tour where we have guacamole competitions. We go from city to city making the most bombest guacamole.

Yeah. We'd have to do some food prep because, don't know i take a long time when i make wow okay wow well see that's part of the process is being able to make it quick uh but we had a box of crocs yes so we had to buy many many crocs for this for this video one of which was a cars yeah it was lighting mcqueen and it lights up and it's kid's size but matt robb was wearing them around so his feet were half out of them yeah now there are crocs all over the office and i had never worn crocs before because they look like an abomination uh but i can report they are comfy i have made fun of crocs for over 10 years they feel kind of i have i have made fun

of crocs and i've made fun of people who wear Crocs. I saw this box and they were like, oh, you want to try a pair? I was like, I'll throw some on as a joke really quick. Put them on my feet. I take two steps and I go, son of a bitch. I was like, I am hooked. I had the same reaction. It's the bumps.

It's the little bumps. And it's also that it's not too cushiony. It's actually just firm enough. It's great. It's just the perfect. And it's also that it's not too cushiony. It's actually just firm enough. Yeah. It's great. It's just the perfect, it's balance in a shoe. I mean, I love my Adidas with the boost soles because they're soft. Crocs are Taoism made into a wearable.

Explain. Because Taoism is all about balance, right? You know, equal parts darkness light and boy crocs really embody that because you know it's like i said it's not too cushiony it's not too firm yes they're embarrassing but also you maybe you need that maybe you need to take yourself not too seriously but you can get serious work done while you're wearing them right my only experience in crocs was with Phil of Guacamole. Oh, you should try it.

So. Non-Guac'd. But I guess Post Malone's doing something right. He has his own Croc line. Good. Right? Didn't he? He had like a Croc collaboration.

He had some blinged out Crocs. Yeah. I don't like the blinged out Crocs. I like a simple Croc. I also don't want the, because they put pins on them. Those pins are poking at your feet, aren't they? That's what I would think. You don't want to, that disturbs the balance of the Croc. I like a simple Croc. I also don't want the, because they put pins on them. Those pins are poking at your feet, aren't they? That's what I would think. That disturbs the balance of the Croc.

Yeah, that's not Dow enough. No, it's not Dow enough. I'm not down with that. You know, I'm more into clogs, I think. Yeah? All right. Well, I now have a pair of work Crocs sitting next to my desk. You've got the blue ones, right?

Yeah, I got the blue ones. So I could slip into them whenever I feel like I need a little Croc time. Because sometimes my shoes... Croc time. Yeah. Sometimes these Adidas, sometimes they're a little tight on my feet. Like the knit top. Yeah.

They're a little snug. So let my puppies breathe every once in a while. I also wouldn't wear Crocs outside because I don't like when the bottoms of the Crocs get all dirty. I don't know why. It messes with me. Well, I also just don't want to look like a fool. Right. You used to be the guy, like, because you like taking your shoes off.

You do? Yeah, you don't take your shoes off as much anymore. I remember when I first realized that when you were to get comfortable in the small room at the old office, you'd take your shoes off. If Ian was sitting down, his shoes were coming off. Yeah. I think it had more to do with the shoes that I was wearing at the time. My feet would get sweaty. So I would take my shoes off to air out my feet because you don't want soggy, sweaty feet.

Because he would wear oven mitts as shoes back then. Yeah. It was a terrible choice, but they look great. They did. But now I wear a lot of like knit top kind of shoes, so they breathe a little bit better, so my feet don't get sweaty. This is a good conversation. This is awesome.

Talking about feet sweat. Then I have Crocs instead. Yeah. They can air them out, but still keep them protected. I think most of them got too dirty though, right? Yeah. The ones that I got had shaving cream in them. That's not too bad.

That's not too bad. Some of the others are probably not doing so hot. The cheese was really hard to get off because the water gets cold. The water was cold and we were power washing them. And the cheese, you know, it's like when cheese melts, it's different. But when it gets hit with that cold it's stubborn i bet yeah you might have to let him sit out and let it become yogurt was it like what kind of cheese what kind of what kind of cheese oh it's never nice but yeah spoiler alert there's cheese coming up on

smosh games so i guess i guess now would be a good time to talk about the H3H3 video. And it's going to be kind of old news. Yeah, it's probably about a week old at this point. But I feel like it's an ongoing topic on the internet. I mean, this isn't an issue that's going to be going away anytime soon. Yeah. Yeah. So he made a video just sort of highlighting the fact that people edit their photos extensively on Instagram to try to create this sort of image of themselves, this like beautiful image of themselves that isn't real. So he was showing people that did it to extreme extents.

And one of those people was Trisha Paytas, who she's on YouTube. She's been around. She makes videos. Yeah. You know, I'm not the biggest fan of her content. She's not a fan of ours either. Well, she kind of comes after people for no reason sometimes.

Yeah. I mean, her sort of brand is like whenever there's some sort of drama that she can hook onto, she kind of does it. And that's kind of how she keeps things going, it seems. Anyway, so she very heavily edits her Instagram photos. Ethan was highlighting that in the video. And, you know, he was pretty harsh, but I mean, the thing is like Ethan also goes hard on himself.

Right. He's like, look at me. I'm a, I'm like a sack of shit. Like, you know, so it's,

I get it. He, he, you know, he said a couple, he said a couple of things that like, I was kind of like, uh,

like, you know, he was referring to like Tana Mongeau as like a Twinkana mojo as like a twinkie she looks like a twinkie because because she's another person that heavily edits her photos right and when you have like a a photo that's taken by somebody else and you weren't prepared for it you're not going to necessarily look your best and it's not the angle that you normally shoot so yeah you might look a little bit like a potato yeah it sucks that he went really hard on him. But yeah, like you said, he goes hard on himself as well.

Like on his podcast, he's pretty savage. I was thinking about that though. And what is, because when I first heard about it, I was like, oh yeah, he didn't do anything wrong because he makes fun of himself the same. But he's in a position where his career isn't compromised by not looking great in photos. Whereas probably like a Trisha Paytas is probably thinking if she only posted photos where she wasn't editing them or didn't look good, she would feel she would probably start losing followers and wouldn't be able to maintain.

Well, how sustainable is that though if you're if you're creating this image of yourself that isn't real how long can you sustain that fake image of yourself rather than just i mean the the point of being on the internet is that you're able to be yourself and that you're able to find an audience that that can accept you for the person that you are you know there's something for everybody online and and she has a certain brand that i mean i think people i think people would be into it if she was just herself and she is herself on some things but you can't photoshop a video like right i mean not with everyday youtuber equipment at least right but i mean i will say on instagram and stuff you post a photo where you look really good,

you're going to get more likes. And you see that and it's hard to be like, well, I don't care about getting more likes and more. And what it equates to in this realm is more success and probably bigger brand deals, whatever for them. So it's to literally, to have the strength to be like, I'm going to walk away from success. I know if I FaceTuned myself in

this photo, it would be more successful. Yeah. So to turn away from that is really tough. It's asking a lot of people. And I mean, it's, it's definitely a bigger deal for, for women on Instagram than it is for guys. I mean, it is. Exactly. I was going to say like, yeah, I'm sure there's guys who use FaceTune. Like I know guys who it's like i mean i i've been i've used photoshop for a very long time like not like yes i am a user of face tune and i'll explain like my reasoning about that in a second but like guys there's a lot less pressure of like looking good first of all guys i mean if you want to they can wear makeup but guys wake up in the morning like this is what i look like and they show up and like well guys it's like damn you look really good and you don't even have makeup on and that pisses me off because I feel like I

need makeup like especially when I'm taking photos or I'm in videos like I very I don't think I've ever come to work without makeup on because I never know when there's going to be a picture or a video and when I take pictures yes occasionally I do use Facetune and it's I think there's there's certain things you're allowed to Facetune out obviously I mean go off queen like if you want to make your waist look way unrealistically small go ahead but I feel like things like acne like for me I I always try and like photoshop that stuff out because that's just like acne is not who you are for one thing it's like that's a temporary thing and when you photoshop your your acne out it's like that you could look like that yeah if you when you're not breaking out when you're having a good week and your skin's deciding

to cooperate but yeah it's like definitely women have this an unrealistic standard that's always been a thing and now that it's like so easy to achieve that just at the touch of your finger, like how can you not? Like it's like a drug in a way. I follow this account called Celeb Faces that exposes the biggest celebrities who have like Kim Kardashian. Incredible body. Incredible body. My mouth just went dry. It's very nice.

But she even then she still uses it. She still she makes her way smaller if your whole brand on instagram is looking good then you're competing with a billion other people on instagram if it's just about i need to look as good as possible how are you gonna win yeah like you're you're you're simply just going up against models that have nothing else to offer. So to me, it's like, obviously you're super talented. You know, you could use Instagram to either just post photos of, you know, just model-esque photos of yourself. And I know you don't do that. You're, you're, you're not providing anything different. It's, it's,

it's just going to be like everybody else. So is that really sustainable? Is that, is that a long-term goal? Well, I guess the dark side of it is, is it makes people, you know,

the average, a younger person, boy or girl is looking at that going, Oh, maybe they don't understand that that's not real. So we now have this fantasy on social media of like, this is what a person can look like. And it's like, no, nobody looks like that,

but we've now made it a supposed reality. So people are going, oh, if I don't look like that, I'm unattractive. So I need to FaceTune myself to look like that too. So we're essentially putting out myths onto the internet. And we do it in so many other ways too, because we kind of FaceTune our lives on social media as well.

It's always – we're always posting ourselves doing something exciting, whatever. It's like, no, I'm at home watching Netflix, but I'm posting a picture of me with a bunch of friends doing stuff. So we're – yes, we face tune our looks, but we face tune everything on the internet. I think – yeah, but I think the more you try to project a perfect image, the greater the fall is going to be when that image gets shattered. So I think the more you are honest with yourself and your life up front, you're setting up a better future for yourself rather than sort of perpetuating a lie for a long time and then letting it all crash at some point when you, when you screw up,

I'm not saying that people shouldn't use face tune. Like, and I totally agree with, with like, you know, acne skin, like, yeah, there's, there's good days when you have, when you have like good skin and then you'll have bad days. And, and like you said, that's, that's not you. Yeah. It's just a little weird when people go into heavy Photoshop, making their legs longer and skinnier. Yeah, that's a lot.

Well, there's going to be extremes. Or my favorite is Photoshopping the ab crease. Yeah, because guys do it a lot too with muscles and everything. And that's the thing. I've used Photoshop for a long time. My mom was really good at it, and she was self-taught, and I self-taught myself. There's some photos where like those emo photos that I showed you guys

where I'm like wearing a blue shirt and like the headphones. I'm pretty sure like I was so insecure in middle school that like I made my nose a little smaller, and I made myself have boobs. And it's also just like fun. I'm like an artist. I draw and whatever. So it's cool being able to like create this image like that you have full control over. But like I can tell on photos when they're using Photoshop.

Like people think they're really clever and slick. But I'm like, oh, I know exactly what tool you used here. I know. So and I'm sure other avid users can tell those things too. Oh, for sure. But that's the trippy thing, right? You're looking at all these photos knowing people are face tuning as well. So we all know that we all are imperfect, but we still are like, well, I need to make myself look perfect in these photos.

I had an ex that Photoshopped my nose to be smaller and was like, see, look how it's better. And I was like, what the fuck? look how, look how it's like better. And I was like, what the fuck? Don't do that. That's so sad. Like that's how you, that's how you give someone a complex. I think what I, I think what I hate is that in this industry, like I've been, we've all been dealing with this for so long. I mean, I started acting when I was 12 and at that point already I had agents and people

telling me like how I needed to look, what I needed to do, like just whether or not I'd be able to book something on if I was attractive enough, which when you're 15 is nuts. It's like, oh yeah, you're not good looking enough to be, to go out for that role. And it's just like, oh, all right. And acne makes it really hard. Yeah. I mean, I, and I can't, I can't defend it. I took a Accutane when I was a teenager, which is this very intense drug that dries out your skin for months.

And I went to those extremes just to get rid of it. When acne is not life-threatening, it's not going to actually – it's just purely aesthetic. And I don't think if I was – I don't know if I wasn't an actor. I don't know if I would have done it. But what I think I hate is now seeing that that aspect of the entertainment industry is now spreading to everybody in the world. Every single person now has a public persona that they have to perfect. And they know that how they look equates to their success as a human, or they think that.

And I, it's awful. It's just so destructive. It equates to more likes, but our likes are kind of our rating now. Well, I, I heard from somebody and maybe this isn't true, but I heard that Instagram was maybe going to-

Get rid of the like counter. Yeah, they're going to test getting rid of the like counter. Can you imagine like- I don't think they can do that. Can you imagine if people started posting things they actually wanted to post on Instagram? Because like, you know, I've seen a million ass shots on Instagram. But did you like them though?

No. No, I'm not going to like an ass shot. Like that's creepy. To me, it's like when I see like a really sexy photo, why would I like that? That's, I feel like a creeper. Yeah. I feed those people yeah of course i mean like you like you said you're the problem i am i a little bit am well

first of all yeah i'm the problem i use i use facetune uh like i don't i don't edit my body i mean because like i i post the bikini photos and stuff like that when back when i was super insecure about my body because like i've been i don been, I don't, I, like, love the gym. Hey, Court, you put in the work, all right? Thank you. And that's why, I mean, I post the bikini photos and stuff because of the likes. And it definitely, like, I don't know, I have, like, 10 million thoughts I want to express right now. One of them is, like, I feel like it's harder to be a female comedian unless you're also attractive.

Or unless it's your entire shtick of being like a certain type with us like we're breaking those barriers now like more than ever but like I feel like it's harder to just be a funny girl like for me I feel like sometimes I post photos that like I know that the the people will like because I look a certain way and like there's definitely like a group of people on reddit who are like oh hell yeah bikini season's coming with Kourtney. Like, she's going to be posting those swimsuit photos soon. Summer's coming. I think it would be harder to be a female comedian if you're attractive.

That's true. That is true. I feel like it's probably harder to just be a female comedian either way. Yeah. But going back, I don't think saying you're the problem isn't true. Because I think the problem is more this whole thing that we're playing into of everyone knows that we're faking it. But yet we all feel we have to. I feel like it goes deeper than that. Nobody is individually at fault for this big just kind of like it's almost like a glitch in human collective thinking.

I don't know. We all know what we're doing. And yet we're all still doing it. I don't know. It sucks. It sucks that we have to all lie about. We're getting to a're doing and yet we're all still doing it. I don't know. It sucks. It sucks that we have to all lie about. We're getting to a point where we just are lying about being humans. Yeah.

Like we're all pretending that we're not human anymore. Hopefully there will be this point on Instagram. But I mean, Instagram is just a very visual medium and it's still just like still photos. So what I guess beauty is always going to sort of take precedent on there but i feel like we're gonna reach a point when like people are just tired of hot lady well i guess that's not true because like that's been that's been a theme throughout time but i i feel like god i would i would hope that creativity would creativity would start to be more valued on Instagram. I'm just posting what you enjoy.

Yeah. Because, I mean, what you said about having an audience, finding your audience. Also, like, one thing I learned from Vine, because that was the first time that I'd ever seen, like, thirsty, young, teenage female fans who are like, oh, my God, Daddy. Yes, choke me, Daddy, like daddy like in the comments and it's like i know i know but it was like it didn't matter who the boy was they're like they're any you're you can be seen by you can be seen as attractive or cute by anyone on the internet like it doesn't like there's you will always find your audience well that's also a trippy thing like you know i mean when you get in this industry you know when you're posting something

on instagram that a lot of people are saying that they're saying they find you attractive and yet that insecurity never goes away you can have a million people tell you you're attractive and you're it actually sometimes makes it worse because you're going oh crap now i have to keep up the ruse i have to if if i am not attractive my worth goes away and so your standard is set higher and higher for yourself, and then Photoshop is what helps you make it even more high-end and realistic. Yeah. But if you're building your fan base from a point of truth and honesty,

then that fan base is going to stay with you for as long as you're doing it. True, but you have to start that from the very beginning. Setting precedence for yourself. People are already cruised along and and probably a lot of women don't think that's possible without also being attractive i don't know or you just be really really hot and then and then build a build up a brand and then you know when when you're tired of doing the model thing hopefully you've built up this other sort of business that you can run and then you can jump off of Instagram when you're done with that.

There's obviously many ways you can do it. Also confidence. Confidence in itself is attractive and just being confident in your looks can make it. That's its own illusion of not Photoshop, just being confident in your own skin. You guys are lucky. You're very handsome boys.

Oh, thanks. Well, I mean, you know, being guys, as long as I keep my hair, I think I'll look fine as I get older. You know, we have that slight advantage where guys aren't really, older men aren't really, you know, look down on the beauty side of things. Yeah, guys can get away with being weird looking or unattractive, and that doesn't affect their brand. Go us. Oh, my God. Boy, we really did it.

Yeah, you did it. Yeah, I'd probably get more likes if I started using Facetune on my photos. Maybe I should do that. I mean, that's the thing, too. I've done Facetune for you a couple times. Yeah, you Facetuned me for a couple photos, couple photos haven't you yeah i made your ass nice and dummy thick hey no i oh yeah you did yeah for the uh for the nikki minaj and kardashian pictures yeah yeah it's it's funny how every single social media has its own thing that we try to act like

we're perfect on because twitter i think it's a lot of people acting like they're the smartest uh facebook is people acting like they have the moral high ground or moral and political high ground and Instagram is just attractiveness it's interesting yeah the ways we lie on every single one of them that's how it goes yeah well guys thank you so much thank you um thank you Ian you're welcome stay away from my sister thank you well we're bringing her on, but I mean.
