By the way, there will be spoilers of Smosh Summer Games Apocalypse. So if you haven't watched all those episodes, go frickin' watch them right now, you dum-dum. Let's get right into it. So what Summer Games this year comprised of was sitting on a toilet completely naked and showering completely clothed what was going on with our brains ian doesn't want to talk about

west cheating in the paintball thing yet so let's talk about how west cheated in the trivia thing keith spoiled summer games on his Instagram story. This is the only year we actually had a social media blackout set in stone. The best nickname for Lazer Corn ever, which we cannot repeat. I feel like we can repeat it here more than it made in the video.

Yeah, ready? One, two, three. Lazy Combs! Love that. Because he only has one kid. One and done. We're doing a podcast. We each say one word at a time, right, Weecom! Love that. One and done. Yeah! We're doing a podcast.

We each say one word at a time, right? For the whole hour? Yep. Whoa! Oh my goodness! Welcome to the Smosh Summer Games Retrospective. Ooh! Ooh!

The room is haunted. So today I'm joined by a myriad of people from Team Toxicity, the Mushroom Clouts, and some refs. So let's all sound off, y'all. Hello, my name is Damien Haas, and I'm representing Mushroom Clout. Hello, Courtney Miller and the gang, specifically Mushroom Clout gang. This is Laser Corn for Team Mushroom Clout. Hello, Courtney Miller and the gang. Specifically, Mushroom Clout gang. This is Laser Corn for Team Mushroom Clout. And this is Sarah Whittle,

also known as the Best Ref. Ooh. Hi, this is Ryan Todd, affectionately known as Trash Panda. This is Matt Robb and Sarah Whittle's Dirty Liar. Also the Better Ref. This is Mari ranger, Yellow Ranger on Team Green.

Toxicity. She's got a stroke? There's a lot of words there. This is also not how you do a podcast. And I'm Shane Topp of the Team Toxicity, the champions. That's right. There's the tea.

Spoilers already. Wow. So this podcast could be a complete disaster. We really don't know yet. But we'll see. Let's get into it. Would you say it would be a disaster of the apocalyptic kind? Yes. Yes. would be a disaster of the apocalyptic kind yes

so guys uh we were out in the desert for several days um we somehow survived um four or five i don't know we lost track of time um reverted back to our bassist human needs and I think I feel like like a bassist yeah dude that was pretty bassist you're canceled hashtag Ian as a bassist it was one fish concert. Ian's not happy. Is this just give Ian shit for an hour? I would love that. An hour?

We've been working on it a year. Okay. Swash Summer Games. Ian sucks! That would actually be a good theme. Can we do that next year? Don't spoil the theme for next year! It's everybody versus me.

It's like versus me. It's like those Mario Party levels where it's everyone versus one person. But you get God to your powers as the president of the company so it'll be like, alright, Wes wins! And you just go, no he doesn't! And we're like, no he doesn't!

You got it, boss. No wonder you guys win. You got Wes, speaking of Wes, really carrying you guys, helping you win via... Oh, she's just jumping right into the team. I'm salty. I'm salty, man. Yeah.

Why are you salty? Just because he brought a professional level paintball gun to us and was on auto mode lighting up our targets? Accidentally. Oh, he accidentally switched to auto mode. up our targets. Accidentally. Oh, he accidentally switched to auto mode. Oh, his finger must have slipped. I got shot in the crotch so many times to risk for the team win

and I still freaking lost because 80% of those shots were Wes at my crotch. Well, to be fair, you were jumping and like making him hit you. I was standing in front of the target. Like if that's why, I definitely shouldn't have done that. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Wes, Wes may have cheated a couple of times. Whoa. I've seen, isn't he on your team, Ian? Yeah.

Well, I, I, I, I mean, look, I was, I was fooled because he,

well, okay, man, I feel, I feel like we're going in, we're going into the tea too soon. Let's, go back let's go back to that later ian's just lining through all of his topics they're crying like no great we'll talk about the scene fine she's out of order i have bullet points brain no work well let's uh let's talk about what was your favorite part about um

about filming in the desert guys guys. My favorite part was when Wes cheated. I don't know. Go on. For your win. I don't do so great in the heat, which is no surprise to anybody, but I think once you're in the desert with no true source of comfort, you get into this place of like,

all right, I'm going to be dirty, messy, and uncomfortable. Let's have some fun. And actually, I was much more able to let go and have fun than I even was in the We Blew It, which was just down the street from where we'd film normal stuff. So I don't know. I got into it more, which I liked. I like that you said that you don't do well in the heat

because you were sweating on the car ride to the desert. Correct. Which had AC and everything. Dude, I'm built for the cold. I love t-shirts and 50 degree weather. I do not belong in the desert. I should not have survived. Wasn't it last year at We Blew It that you just had hives?

Yeah. For like days? I have a condition thing that like apparently for a lot of people just pops up when you're like mid to late 20s It just happens and they don't know why but heat sets it off. So I was literally just coated and like Swollen gross hives Those pictures you had were so crazy where it's like you were more hive than normal skin My arm just looked like a red red bubble

Gross crazy idea if it's triggered by heat. What if you built yourself a Mr. Freeze style suit? And then permanently controlled your temperature always. I see where you're going with this. I could be the next Frozone. Yes. Yes. Love that. Love it.

All right. Is that like a Mr. Freeze knockoff? It's from the Incroyable. You have a freaking kid, Laser Corn. You should know about the Incredibles. He just watches Into the Spider-Verse on repeat. Oh, you're doing well then. I can't get him to watch anything else.

He loves Miles Morales. This was one thing that I think I realized at Smosh Summer Games. You haven't watched Toy Story? What? I've watched the original Toy Story. I haven't watched any of the new ones is what I said. And I'm like, you have a kid. The second one came out in the 90s.

I haven't seen any of the new ones. After the first one And I'm like, you have a kid. The second one came out in the 90s. Two, three, four. I haven't seen any of the new ones. After the first one, I'm like, this isn't for me. Interesting. Yeah. He just hasn't had the time to get to a theater in 30 years. There's literally a kid who takes apart dolls and sets them on fire and stuff. This should really relate to you.

I mean, I guess. Maybe the fact that that kid lost. What's his name? Tim Allen got busted for coke and it really left a sour taste in my mouth. Wait, really? That's a true fact. That was like 40 years ago. That's a true fact. And he rolled on his friends.

And that's all I could think about during Toy Story. Look at this snitch pretending he's a good guy. Wow. So Mari, what was your favorite part about being in the desert? Okay, so this is something that didn't happen on camera. It lives in my mind. One of my favorite things about Summer Games is always the camaraderie we share outside of being in an office.

It was the instant party, which happened this one night. Oh my gosh! Yeah, the's so great. And jump in if I'm missing any details. But so there was one night we were all staying at this, like, motel, and we were standing on the second-story balcony, and we're like, what do we do? The pool's closed.

We have nowhere else to hang out. There's no, like, common room. So we're all just kind of standing on the balcony. All of a sudden, somebody knocks on. Was it you? Well, it was Shane, Damien, and I were just hanging out in Shane and Damien's room. And we were standing in front of that room. And we were all talking, us three. We were like, what are we going to do tonight?

Because they closed the pool. The pool is kind of sketchy. Well, I texted you and I asked you where you were. Yeah, and I was like, oh, I'm just hanging out with Shane and Damien right now. And then like two seconds later, there's a knock on the door. And so when this knock happens, there's probably like maybe four people on this balcony area in front of their door. So this knock happens, and I'm like, oh, someone's knocking on a door.

So I look behind, and I see Shane, Damien, and Sarah in their room. And so I walk in. I think Joven walks in after me. Kimmy and I happen to be walking by as well. We just kind of follow the flow of traffic. They followed in. I was hanging outside. So when you opened the door, I was like, well, people are walking in,

so I guess I'll walk in too. And then Kevin walks in with a guitar, immediately starts playing something We all just slowly start yelling And then there was instantly like 30 people In this tiniest hotel room It was like a clown car emptied into our front door It was just like oh more people

Okay From my perspective It just looked like the longest line of people Constantly entering the room. And then, of course, Kevin's immediately playing Wonderwall. And I'm like, what? How did we get here? It was incredible.

The funniest thing was you guys didn't say, oh, come in or anything. It was just knocking. We were like, oh, hey, what's up? We're coming in. And everyone just kind of followed suit. Within 10 seconds, it felt like you transported yourself into a party that had been going for two hours. Exactly.

So we were all like, it's an Insta party. We should start charging people for just creating this Insta party of train line, mambo line type of thing. Conversations were happening like mid-conversation through. I was just like, okay, so that movie. And it's like there's just so much happening in such a short amount of time. That was my favorite.

Thank you guys for letting us invade your mind. Yeah, of course. I loved it. It was great. It was great. Yeah. I'm an OCD boy legitimately, so it was a big like test for me

where I was like, there's six people sitting on my bed. That's fine. It's fine. I just remember you muttering yourself, just shoes off. Shoes off! Just don't put shoes on my bed! Shoes on the bed is crazy.

He's like screaming internally. It's gross! Don't put shoes on your bed. Not after I mutter! That was a great moment. I would say that was my favorite moment. Someday I want that moment to be like animated because I feel like we all remember it in our minds but it's like it's a magical moment.

I think Brendan has a picture of it. Yeah, there's a film photo. He stood on Shane's bed to take a picture of it. Yeah, we were peeing on my bed. Matt took a fat dump on it, you know, whatever. Yeah, it was fun. Typical party. He didn't say not to. Yeah, me and Kimmy we just decided

to walk out of the room and see what everyone was doing and we walk out and like I was just like oh what's going on here and all of a sudden

you just hear everyone just slowly filtered in and there was no like and then I seem to recall every time somebody else entered the room everyone was like

that's just a thing we do literally everywhere in public we do that's just the thing we do literally everywhere in public we do it anytime anyone walks in a room waiter stranger the police we just scream at them like a nice scream yeah it's a welcoming screen exactly but then at some point I was like there are other people in this motel yeah it's a motel so the the door is directly to the public. So by the fourth entrance of a person, we'd be like, ah. Yeah, we'd all try to be like, hey. Welcome to our party. It was the wildebeest scene from Lion King. Wow. Long live the king. Have you seen Lion

King, LaserCorn? Yeah, I saw the original a long time ago. My son actually demanded to leave the live action movie. Yeah, I took him to the live action. He's like, can we go home? Can we? It was. It's terrible. The live action is terrible.

All right. Little strong-minded boy. But enough about me crapping all over Disney movies. And speaking of parties, I really loved the wrap party we had after Wally Flaw. And surprisingly, after all those days in the desert, I did not burn at all. But when we did the 45 minutes in the backyard of a house in LA, I burned like hell. We all did.

I feel like every one of us survived the desert fine. And then the moment we all got to LA and shot in a backyard, every one of us got burnt. We got too comfortable. We were like, ah! Did you get burned in the desert? No, I don't burn. Whoa! Well, I'm just darker than you guys.

But Shane, but Shane, so we were very careful about, we were very careful about taking care of ourselves in the desert, making sure we don't get heat stroke, all that kind of stuff. And then we get back to LA,

we're shooting the paint, we shot the paintball thing in LA, and freaking Shane gets heat stroke at the paintball park. Yeah. I didn't know that. It's because I didn't get heat stroke. You look bad, dude.

I just went really crazy. And we, we, I was talking to Wes and Mari and we were like, all right, so we're just going to sprint out there. And I sprinted to the middle of the field, unloaded, needed to reload, sprinted back to the base, sprinted back to the middle of the field unloaded needed to reload sprinted back to the base sprinted back to the middle of the field then I eventually sprinted back to the base and I just was I can't breathe in that mask and I was just like I am out and I was like you know what I don't even need to be here Wes has literally a machine gun I can just uh sit down and uh I needed to take a breather. I was running too much.

Yeah, you looked like a rag doll just sitting on the floor. I was dead. But I also was fully aware that I didn't have to do anything at that point. I was like, Wes could do this alone. And he did. He kind of did. Yeah. And we've come full circle. He doesn't want to talk about Wes cheating in the paintball thing yet. So let's talk

about how Wes cheated in the trivia thing. Whoa! Joven was running in the trivia thing. He cheated? I don't think he really cheated in Netflix. Yeah, he did. Joven has done this two years in a row. He did this in the Winter Games as well.

What he'll do is he sits next to Wes, and then he writes a number or a letter on his thigh to help him out. Like, one was Friday the 13th and he wrote like a 13. This one I think was Fifth Element and he wrote a five. So isn't that Joven cheating then? Isn't that Joven cheating? Yeah.

Wes should have been a good guy and said no no. Wes didn't admit it. Fair enough. Wes, yeah. Wes refused to admit it. This is the thing. When you cheat in Smosh Summer Games, because these are very serious games.

We find you in games. We actually kill the other team that loses so sorry yeah but if you cheat for camera it's entertaining like Joven tried to cheat in the slippery snakes challenge by pulling out a snake and be like oh I have a snake but if you're cheating just to cheat, like that's a little slimy. Like that's just not fun. I will say in the paintball, Jovan also cheated. He did? Yeah, they cut it out, but it's at the very end

when like my gun jams and then someone ends up bringing me another gun and then Jovan's standing way far off shooting the target and mostly me because I'm right in front of it and I'm like, I just want to take him out from here and I'm like firing all around him he's really far away finally one hits him right on the arm and I'm like yes awesome and I was so excited and the adrenaline was pumping where I'm like yes I actually got him and then he looks at it and he just keeps going Mr. Platinum and they cut this out thankfully but I was like these are all fun and games but again

adrenaline was going I was getting shot with faintballs, I hit him, he cheats, and then I yell, oh, of course, if anyone's gonna cheat, it's gonna be F'n Joven! Just, like, walk away, and I was like, oh, that was a part of me I didn't love. But why did we cut that out? Because that seems like it's great. I will

say, Wes brought his own paintball gun, and he was like, yeah, it's an auto trigger, whatever. But I have that turned off, so it's not going to be a problem. It's whatever. And obviously, it just goes off in the middle of the game. And it's just like, destroying the other team. You can see the first time our target gets hit

is not just like random hits. It's like, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. Spencer was showing me in the edit, he sent me an export. And he's like, it's like ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. Spencer was showing me in the edit, he sent me an export and he's like, Wes's gun is so fast the camera couldn't pick up the paintballs leaving the barrel. Oh my god. It just literally looks like it was

going in because it was so fast that it couldn't register. And I was kind of, afterwards Damien comes up to me and he's just like, well that was fun and I was just like, yeah, you know, I think Wes, he said it was, I think it was by accident, like I don't know, and then Wes comes up, and he's talking to me and Damien,

and I was there just defending Wes, and he looks at us and he goes, yeah, no, my auto like accidentally went off, and I was like, by accident, and I look at Damien, and then I just turned and walked away. So I was like, aw accident, and I look at Damien, and then I just turn and walked away. So I was like, ah, son of a bitch. You still got the win. So I think that I will say that we refs fucked up.

Yeah, you guys let him bring that gun. But honestly, I didn't notice. I didn't notice the difference. It is a massive difference. I have a text message from Wes saying, hey, can I bring the gun? Because we did Call of Duty last year. Can I bring the gun from Call of Duty? It's identical to everybody else's gun.

I was like, yeah, all right, if it's identical to everybody else. And then I was so worried because back when we did Call of Duty, Courtney got hit, and it was not fun. So I was more worried about people getting physically hurt than I was worried about people cheating at summer games, which doesn't matter because it doesn't matter. But I have something to say. I was getting a lot of heat for cheating in Red Light, Green Light. True. Yeah, but you did.

You did. That was great. I'm going to unveil right now. Whoa. So I had control of the music, yes. But we three refs noticed halfway through the game, miraculously, Wes knew exactly where everyone on the field was no matter whether they were standing still or they were moving or where the

refs were or where the cameras were so i was like literally he would walk directly at somebody be like okay well that's not fair so i'd pause the music and give everyone an advantage and they'd move around and then you'd go no they're going that way. It's like, how do you know, Wes? You're blindfolded. Also, nobody knows where you're pointing, because they can't see. And it was like, come on, man. Because everyone, I mean, Ian, you could kind of see

like a sliver if you looked down like that. I didn't look. That's why I didn't touch a single person, except for probably all the times I was going to touch Keith, but then you kept stopping the music. OK. All right. But I'm just saying.

I think Wes's, if he were here, his defense to that would be like, I heard him. I heard, that's how I knew where everyone was going. Well next time we need to do, if we do blindfolded, we have to wrap Wes's head. And give him earplugs and leave him in a box somewhere. In full, in the interest of full disclosure, I had I think the same mask that Wes did and I did see a little sliver. And at the very end, I did see Wes's shadow and then touch him. So in my mind, I was like, all right, turn about his fair play. Oh, so Damien cheated as well.

I guess so. I knew Wes was cheating, which is why I tried to even things for our team by ramming my head into his balls. That's what I was going to say. So did he try to basically cover his cheating by allowing you to ram your head into his ball? He definitely probably could have seen me coming. Because that's really noble. I could see a little bit, but boy, it sure didn't help me at all because I was running into so many people.

Yeah, you really sucked these games. I really did. I don't know about that. Next year, let's just blind everyone with a hot iron right into their eyes, and then it'll be completely fair. Yeah, I definitely saw a clip that I think was cut out of the video. with like a hot iron right into the eyes, and then it'll be completely fair. Yeah, I definitely saw a clip that I think was cut out of the video, but I certainly groped you, Mari. Did you?

In the dead light, green light. You didn't have to admit that. I was like, what is this? And you're like, that's me. I was like, oh, shit. Oh, yeah. I wanted to talk to you about that. Where did you grope me?

Front or back? I don't know. When you say grope, do you mean just paw down? Well, I mean just like my hand touched something, and I paused for a second. I was like, what is this? Groping is with your fists. I might have done like the TSA pat.

I might have gone like, what is that? That's kosher to me. I touched Kimmy's butt. I touched Kimmy's butt. I touched so many butts. It's not even me that you're feeling. One other thing about red light green, they're like, what?

Dead light green light. In defense of the rest, I got out really fast. And I think like two of us got out really fast. And I thought the reason you were doing that is like, oh, man, this video is going to be like 30 seconds. I was out immediately I thought I was going to be like slick by like running towards the exterior and I'm like if I could get on the outside they won't be expecting that but then I like got caught in a weird position and Olivia like immediately got me so I think there was a fear that the video was going to be over too quick a hundred percent it

goes back to what Sarah was saying it's, there's a difference between cheating to win and cheating to make a good video. Jovan hiding snakes in his pants, he was doing a bit. Us, me cheating in the video by making it longer than three minutes long was just something I was trying to go for, guys. Like, I feel like it was round two when like half of you got eliminated

in the first three seconds. Yeah. Yeah, it's ridiculous. I thought I was being slick. I was not. Olivia turned into the fucking predator. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. I was trying to dodge. It didn't work. I was immediately eliminated. Look, we can't help it if we're just better at the game. I'm sorry. OK. I'm on two.

I'm sorry. I love in the video when two people decided to hold hands. And then in the video when who decided to hold hands? Two people decided to hold hands, and then Olivia's like, Anybody want to hold hands with me? And then nobody said anything. It's just in the video. Poor baby. Also, there's really no reason for the refs to actively cheat

for any other reason because, I can't stress this enough, the refs hate all of us equally. Equal opportunity hatred, guys. It's important. Almost as much as we hate ourselves, but yeah. Dude, how was your first Summer Games, Trash Panda? Yeah. It was lovely.

It was your first time experiencing that, I feel like that side of our production world, like is the Summer Games. And you came, Ryan, you came closest to dying on set because you were out in the sun for that whole first day, right? Yeah. Oh, yeah. When we shot the trailer, I tried to go hard.

It was, I don't know, 110. 110? I think it was like 105, but yeah. Oh, different. It felt like 110. Yeah, there was a humidity level. No, it was very dry. Yeah, so I tried to go hard. I think me and our DP we were out in the sun for

four and a half hours without getting shade which we told ourselves we wouldn't do and Yeah, so I tried to get to the very end and I didn't make it and basically what I did is I had a PA Drive me back to the house and I don't know if I told you guys this but I went to the bathroom at the house and just stripped down to nothing and just sat on the toilet and wrote it out. What? That better. You swore straight Donald Duck in it, dude. Not even Donald Duck, just naked all the way.

Just naked Donald Duck. So wait, there was somewhere in the house, there was this sweaty man with banded makeup, completely naked, just breathing heavy like. Like the scene from The Shinies. And I was actively scared because that bathroom didn't have a lock. Yeah. But I didn't care because I was hurting so bad. So I was just sitting there waiting for someone to find me.

Wait, that bathroom definitely had a lock. No, I was just... And, you know, for video, for the audio, I was just literally sitting there just like this, just kind of sitting on the toilet. So if anybody would open the door, they would have just gotten the best treat ever. Were you chugging water or something? Yeah, I was just in there sweating and chugging water. No, he's just sitting naked.

Waiting to die. I've gotten heat stroke before and that worked the last time I got it. So I just wrote it out. It was great. Naked toilet. Water time. Naked toilet water time. Sarah and I just took a nap in the van it was great it's traditional yeah we there was a lot of times where Matt Robb and I just went to the nearest car blasted the AC and died like we would take I took so many naps because I was just heat stroking the entire time anytime that our words are a little flubbed is because our brains were frying.

Speaking of the vans too, like everyone in production was very aware this time, like we got to keep everyone cool and relaxed and stuff. So they would often, you know, as soon as we get to set, they'd be like, all right, guys, stay in the van. We're not ready for you yet. But with 10 hot, sweaty people in a van, a black van sitting still in the desert,

it was way hotter than it was outside we kept going like yeah can we can we leave can we please get out they're like guys just stay in here you gotta stay cool and i was like i'm leaving the van and they're like all right but it's cool and it was yeah see this is this is this was the trick you convince everyone to leave the van and then you go back in the van and it's better yeah yeah of course it's called kill your friends yeah i do have a funny story um so talking about shane like he's he's stroking during the paintball so you guys were like either hanging out in the house or hanging out in the van as the cast um until like camera and crew were ready and shane just

decides to go to the basketball court in the middle of this desert oh yeah did you have a basketball no i had a football i invented a new game called football basketball and uh it was so much fun i was out there all like for a solid two hours how long did it take you to come up with that name football a couple hours yeah that's what you did the whole time? You didn't actually play? You were just trying to think of a name? So Matt and I were driving back to the house, and we see Shane alone playing football, basketball, or basketball, football.

And he always tosses water bottles into trash and always misses, and he just has a terrible shot. So he just starts, and he throws this football and it immediately makes it in the basket and we were all like so we're all freaking out and then we're like do it again and matt and i stood there in the car for like five more minutes waiting for him to do it again and he never did i have a lot of you missing on my phone. I'm sure. Yeah, weren't you like making it like crazy, and then as soon as the cameras came out, you like missed?

That's exactly what happened. Love that. Yeah. That is literally what happened. Yeah. I remember it was like kind of like a, you were like a little kid, like, and we were the parents. So you were like, look what I can do.

And you nailed it on the first one, and then it just, yeah. And then you were just a disappointment for the rest of the time. Just like with your real parents. Yeah. Wow. Heavy moderation. I want to call out,

Sarah bullied me throughout this entire Summer Games. It was like Game 2 where she was like, well, you're on track to get LVP and then that just continued. Oh no. And I was so psyched out and so every game I was like, don't get LVP. And then that just continued. Oh, no. And I was so psyched out. And so every game I was like, don't get LVP. And I just was ruined.

I sucked more in this game. Yeah, I have to say, like, yeah, in the catch your meal, you know, we had so much money on you. And then you didn't catch a single one, did you? Look, they slipped through my hand, man. And right into my hands. I carried that team. But I, God, I got that squirrel.

And also, I will say, Courtney freaking Miller, that was the most I've ever done in that. Like, I nearly lost my voice doing that. Oh, and you did Courtney freaking Miller during Catcher Meal? In belly flop. Oh, in belly flop. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that was insane.

First time I've ever gotten 11 points. I don't know where you got my swimsuit top. That was intense. And the best nickname for laser corn ever, which we cannot repeat. We can't? On this podcast. I feel like we can repeat it here more than we made in the video. Ready?

One, two, three. Lazy cum. Love that. Because you only asked one kid. One and done. I love it. I'm going to get a t-shirt made with that on it owning it uh yeah courtney almost died in the belly flop competition

well yeah i will i i kind of got you to the edge of the pool and then like i did i did kind of stutter step backwards. And that's when you went off. And your feet were like, maybe, you can't see if you're just listening to the podcast. But it was very close to hitting the pool. But you did tell me afterwards that you're very good with judging distances and that you can make it. I grew up with a pool and doing weird jumps and dives all the time. And I kept asking, I was like, are you sure you can do this?

Are you sure you can hold me? Are you sure? Like, I'm not too heavy. And you were like, yes, yes, yes. But like, I don't know. I mean, I did hold you. I didn't fall over or trip anything. I just took a half step backwards to correct my balance.

And it was at the wrong time to do that. But yeah. That's OK. No, we did it. We still did it I'm always bummed because like when I do a crazy flop like that I come up and it's not like yeah It's like every year you scare the hell out of yeah, like enjoy it No, I have to say I was standing I I was on your side for that video, and your toes were, I don't even think we can measure it, your toes were like a millimeter from just scraping off on the side of the pool.

I've never been afraid of that. But it sounded like, well, you should be. I don't need my feet. I'm constantly afraid of that. I think the reason we were all concerned is it continued on, like when you watch your friend do something like, oh, I'm going to take this bike off a ramp, watch, and then they crash horribly, and you're like, are you okay? And they're like, yeah, I'm fine. this bike off a ramp watch then they crash horribly and you're like

Are you okay? They're like, yeah, I'm fine. They're like you're missing an arm and you're bleeding profusely No, it's cool. And it came across like that We all thought you hit that stuff But you're like you always put on a tough show like you never want to be injured or whatever So it could have been like your toes were falling off and you'd be like no why which why is everybody worried as far as? Not to mention that when you guys got set up There was that moment where you got on his shoulders and you guys wavered backwards,

which I think you would have just gone through like a plate glass window or something like that. Some bushes and then a window. And then you started walking and it's like, oh, we're too high for this deck that's above us. So then you had to like, you almost smacked. So it was just like a series of possible injuries, but great belly flop.

Yeah. Solid. Thanks, guys. That got you the award, right? Hey, you guys remember when I made that orca pun? Yeah, you mean in 2014? I totally remember that. Okay, I actually have one issue with

the flop voting, okay? Can I just say this right now? No. I don't think you should be awarded high points for not jumping. Through the years, I've seen a lot of through the years i've seen a lot of belly flops where they just lean forward well the first just say me i mean no i mean i did that i did the classic i've seen it so many times score and then the next year someone did that same exact flop and got an incredible score i think it's just based on the mood it's

not called jumping belly flop yeah yeah but how are you supposed to get a good flop by just like just leaning forward? Discipline. I feel like that's harder because you don't brace yourself. Jumping is one thing because it's an action and it's seconds, but the lean in to not want to stop yourself, that takes more dedication. I don't know.

I think points have to be awarded to airtime, right? That's never been criteria. Yeah, we still don't know what a pun is. But I've seen so many. I've seen so many. All right, look, the orca pun is never going to die. I'm sorry. But...

You're never going to get points. Well, as the flop judge, I just look for that flat contact on water, whether it's six feet up or like six inches down, kind of like that Christ pose going down. That's what I look for is like that flat smack. And so that's- The redness. And yeah, the redness is like something, you're going to be red no matter what.

It's like where that redness is. So that's my perspective. There's a pitch that I feel like you hear when you know that someone nails it. And it doesn't really matter if they're falling into it or jumping. You hear it and everyone does that collective, oh. It it doesn't really matter if they're falling into it or jumping. You hear it and everyone does that collective, ooh. It's like a smack.

Yeah. I'm just saying, if you give... This is really the hill you're going to die on? Yes. I've always been bothered by the lean into the...

It just doesn't seem like enough of a commitment. I do that every year. Yeah, me too. I will also say, though, there's not many options. Like, yeah, you can jump. I mean, I try to get air, but I don't think that's going to be the reason I get points.

You almost die like me when you try and get air. Do you just want us to compliment your calves? Is that what this is? Because you have good air? Do you feel like you have better air than everybody else? No, I definitely don't have as good air as I've seen other people. I just, you know, I want people to go, I want people to send it, man. I want people to send it.

Next year should be style, pun, and like sea mammal based puns. Those are the three criteria. Yes, I agree. Okay, great. We have yet to do high dive belly flop, and I feel like that would be awesome. I pitched that the day before,

and that's horrifying. Yeah, I remember, and it was amazing. Not like more than like 10 feet, but like, yeah. What? It'd be so cool. That's for the judges' year. You know what we should do, though? Oh, wait, no, because everyone cheers.

I was going to say, we should get a decibel meter. Nobody cheers for mine. They're all just like, huh. Yeah, we're just legitimately worried for you, Courtney. Don't worry. Just laugh. Sorry for worrying about you, Courtney. No, it's so annoying.

Yeah, I know. We suck for caring. The decibel that wouldn't work is like you could straight cannonball, and it would probably be louder than a smack. Yeah, I'll just scream. Yeah. You? It's true.

Screaming in the dark. There could be an air bonus. Like an air bonus. Yeah. There could be an air bonus. I think if you have better puns, that'll probably raise your score up. Possible. Okay, so you're saying, yeah, more...

Just be better. More mammal, sea-based creature puns. I think I've been a part of every belly flop except for the first one in the Venice Beach House. This year was like next level. I feel like everyone put in a lot more creativity. Camp was the first one. Camp was the first one. Oh, so I put in a lot of, a lot more creativity. Oh, you were there. Camp was the first one. Camp was the first one.

Oh, so I've been there for all of them. Yeah. This was the best year I think for belly flops. It was insane. People, yeah, people really surprised me

with the things they pulled out. I was very impressed. Joven literally ripped his shirt off. And like he completed it. We were all sitting there being like,

he's going to rip off half of it. He did it. Great. Yeah sitting there being like, he's going to rip off half of it. He did it. Great. Yeah, Olivia's flop was dope. She just stayed dead. Yeah, it was great. I have to say,

I agree with you. I think belly flop's really a fun competition to judge. And it would be, I don't know, kind of awesome to actually be able

to judge said belly flop one time. You don't want the heat, man. You don't want the heat. It looks like we're flopping in the salt water. What was the reason? I can't remember. Why couldn't I be a part of belly flop. You don't want the heat, man. You don't want the heat. Looks like we're flopping in the salt water. What was the reason? I can't remember.

Why couldn't I be a part of belly flop? What was the reason? You got murdered. Oh, yeah, you got murdered. Yeah, by Joe Burrard. You got killed by Drew Burrard. He's bat Joe Burrard. Drew Burrard.

But very exciting to have a very special person there, correct? Yeah. It's the gift that keeps on giving. Every year we feel like bringing him back for one thing, and this year I got to dress him up like an idiot, and it worked out great. Yeah. And he got to shame us.

Sorry. He apologized to me like five times for licking my face. And I was like, it was funny. I went along with it. He's like, all right. I just feel like I don't want to offend you. I'm like, it was fine. Like, what are you doing?

He's like, I just, you know, I know you're weird about being touched. And I'm like, so it was OK. That might have been me. I might have gotten in his head. Oh, really? Dude, Damien's really upset. You really got to go say something to him. Also, Joe has really bad gingivitis, so there's a good chance.

Oh, I smelled. You got that bacteria on you. It's weird because I didn't think I'd ever have a reason to have smelly eyes, but I do now. I do. Smelly eyes are in. Yeah. I just love the shameless self-promotion, the valley folk on his. Oh, that was my idea.

That's right, the Valleyfolk. Yeah. I thought it was great. Patreon.com. I really wanted him to look like a war boy. He ended up looking like the I Like Turtles kid. In my head, I was like, oh, he's going to look so bad.

He's going to be shirtless. He's going to have all this stuff. And then Margo, who was there helping us with makeup, she did it, and I was like, okay, it's fine. It'll look great. She couldn't have done a better job. It was perfect But I was just like wow you really look like the I like turtles. I never thought about that Kind of what happened with you right like trash panda

Were you going for like a skull and then you just ended up looking like an adorable panda? I told everyone I wanted to look tough, but really deep cut, yeah, I just wanted to look adorable because I want hashtag cutest ref. That's my whole goal. That's true. That's what I'm going for. And also deadest ref at the end. Deadest? Oh, yeah.

Best resurrected ref. Oh, true. Yeah. I just defy all logics of mortality, which is really cool. Yeah, which is why you're sitting on the toilet naked. I actually died on the first day and no one knew. No one knew. That was your vision quest.

And I came back. I live in the realm of spirits and death. I died several times and no one was any wiser. Nudist ref. Nudist ref. Yeah. A lot of people, I think, like, A lot of people Were like Dude Just want to say

Kudos to Sarah For her awesome Like outfit The holographic Pink Thank you That might be Competition as

Cutest ref I don't know Thank you I would also agree You can't get one right Yeah come on You can't get one Thanks Courtney

I guess there can only be One first ref though Also shout out to That's me Also shout out to Lindsay for bringing a whole. So Lindsay, who's done a bunch of costume stuff for us, helped us out with the costumes on this one. And a lot of the stuff was just her own stock.

Courtney, your outfit was her Wasteland Weekend outfit, right? Yeah, that jumpsuit was hers. Yeah, that thing was lined with fabric. It was definitely meant for wintertime, and she hemmed it into shorts. So I was very sweaty. I wish I'd done the Ryan Todd and naked toileted it after. Highly suggest. When's the last time you guys took a shit completely naked?

I mean, he really did. Summer games. It's very strange just sitting completely naked on a toilet. Sorry, let's go into the shower. I feel like when you have boobs, it's even weirder. Why change the shower? Ryan Finnerty's over in the corner just like looking around confused. He's like, we didn't agree to this topic.

Welcome to the Summer Games podcast. So who's taking a shit naked? Everyone. Yeah, I'm sure we all have we can all agree it's strange right what's the it's the pretty shower shit is yeah it's like primal oh no oh I wasn't thinking that I was like you know you got to do a lot of business and you're like I just got to take off all my clothes right now this is a dress that's what it is you're wearing a lot of business, and you're like, I just gotta take off all my clothes right now. Is this shit serious? Especially if you're in a jumpsuit or a dress.

Oh, yeah. That's what it is. Or if you're wearing a romper, then you're just naked. For a romper, you have to do that, right? You don't have to put the flap on your onesie. I feel like pooping naked as a girl is a lot weirder, because it's a lot more out.

What? There's a lot of stuff hanging. You have two more things out than boys yeah one more thing out than boys no guys have to worry about laying anchor yeah you don't want to dip your boys in the water they'll pop by laying anchor tattoo top half what else are you talking about oh our second butt? Yeah. Everybody knows ladies got two butts and four vaginas. My problem with the pre-shower poop is that I feel like the poop particles stay in the air,

and then you start the shower, and then it's like a poo sauna. That's the point. I hate that. I can't stand a poo sauna. Well, especially if you shit like a mister. Then it's a run. Speaking of bathroom air, I have to tell you what happened like five minutes before we started this podcast. What? Miss Courtney Miller.

What did you do? Nothing like that. Nothing poo related. Because we're shooting this podcast, I was like, oh, I need to go to the bathroom. And all our bathroom stalls were filled. So I was like, I'm going to wait for the next person to step out. She took a dump in the sink again. Someone stepped, one bathroom door opens, and it's Courtney with a full cup of coffee.

Just walking. And I was like, don't judge me. That is not kosher anymore. And that's all she said. And then I was like, were you sitting on the toilet sipping coffee? And she's like, no, I put it on the tank. Don't judge me! Don't judge me!

Oh, yeah, the tank. That's too close to all the particles. Yeah. I just peed, guys. The tank is the cleanest part of the toilet, just so y'all know. Hey, do you guys remember when this podcast was about summer hands? Right, Infinity doesn't. Don't judge me.

I didn't want to leave my coffee unattended For one of y'alls to poison me I do remember And I hope you're okay with me telling this story Courtney At Summer Games Because we had like two working bathrooms And one of them that didn't really work all the way Oh yeah what I had to do You had to like

Because we had one that wasn't The water wasn't going Because there was like no water And you had to like wasn't, the water wasn't going because there was like no water. We were in the middle of the desert. And you had to like scoop water from the tub and put it in the tank. Fill the upper tank. Fill the upper tank because you're. Because the well, like this place was so old, it ran through a well and the well was empty.

And the upper tanks of the toilets would just like take hours to fill. So I just straight up decided there was like an empty bin in there. I was like, this must be what it's for. So I took the empty bin and would like fill it with water and fill the upper tank so that the bathroom would work. So you just learned how toilets work at Summer Games? I've always known that. I just never had access to a bin.

That's true. A water bin. That's true. That was very resourceful. Yeah, I'm impressed. So the bathroom, yeah. It's like a toilet MacGyver. Yeah, I thought you were talking about after the slime competition,

I like showered fully clothed with shoes on. I did too. There was no option, really. Yeah. So what Summer Games this year comprised of was sitting on a toilet completely naked and showering completely clothed. What was going on with our brains? The apocalypse.

All rules are off. And we were so close to that orgy house, too. Yeah. Oh, yeah. The orgy house. Was that the other day? Oh, Lucille Ball's orgy house? Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. There's this strange dome. Yurt. Yurt house on the top of this volcano. Which, if you look closely in most of the shots, you can see it in the distance. Yeah.

It kind of looks like Epcot, it in the distance yeah and it belonged to this this one like TV personality and apparently orgies happened yeah that's what that was a rumor we started no no no the medic said it he's from there oh so it's a local rumor got it yeah say you can still hear Lucille gang banging on my application. Ricky! Ricky! Guys, you know what else was out there? The first Del Taco.

Really? Oh, yeah? Yeah, that was a fact. Oh, I didn't know that. If you look close, you can see it in the background of most of our shots. We get no business at all. I loved seeing the yurt in the background

because it just looked like a super villain lair. Yeah. Especially for the apocalypse, it just looked like a super villain lair. Especially for the apocalypse it just felt like some crazy super villain. Look at that down there. Speaking of Del Taco, we have to settle this Ian because last time we talked about this you had issues. How was the food this year? The food

was amazing. You know everyone No racism? No racism because there was nobody serving the food and deciding how many portions go to each person. That's a hill you'd have to go. The food was awesome. It varied from Mexican to barbecue to pizza and sometimes all at once.

And one of them was just a big-ass potato. That's true. Oh, my God. Biggest baby potato. Baby, like actual human baby sized potatoes. It's like a football. There were like 84 potatoes for 30 people. Yeah,

and not one person could finish an entire potato. Oh, Keith ate three. What? Keith went in on that night. That was like he was thriving. They gave Keith three and made sure the rest of us had one.

It never, that never happened It didn't happen I remember it happening Dude I got fat shamed that year But Keith But Keith confirmed in the podcast Right that the

Servers from the other Smosh Summer Games He took care of me too but probably because I hired them Yeah probably Okay well then it's not racism, it's just favoritism. There you go. They must have liked him. He's got a winning smile. He really sucks, huh? I think it's the general attitude

that you gave off, Ian. I think that's what's happening. I was always very thankful. Also, everyone else didn't get... No. I agree with Ian. Thank you. I literally got like three beans. Yeah. I think out of all, Keith deserved to double it up. I think he deserved it.

Considering he is the only person every year going who has spoiled summer games on social media. Oh, my freaking God. Oh, no. Every year? Real biggest fail. This was the only year, this is the only year we actually had a social media blackout

set in stone. And I will say, I'm just going to stick up for him right now. Yes, Keith spoiled Summer Games on his Instagram story. I feel really bad because throughout the whole previous days he was recording stuff, saving it, and making sure he deleted it.

I was watching him. He was very good about it. And then this one time, he recorded it and like it's like you don't need to record you don't need to record video on snapchat or on instagram because then it's good content for when summer games is out no no no no you go to your camera what if there's filters or certain what if you want to do a boomerang zooming i know but in this there's a reason why people specifically go into Instagram to record the content. Because also, stuff looks different. There's a lot of stuff like that. But the point is, that's such a quick mechanical thing to post on Instagram stories,

especially when you do it as often as we do. I feel really bad. And he genuinely felt terrible for spoiling it. And was it a snap of just the random desert? No. It was every one of you in your team shirts jumping up and down. We are filming Summer Games Apocalypse!

And for context, if you don't know, we were on a social media blackout because we wanted it all to hit at the same time. We had a big surprise. We talked about it every single day, multiple times. We even made it a meme where we're like, and it's what? Social media blackout. Because this was the first year that we were in complete control.

There was no defy. There was no one telling us like, oh, we got to tease it. We had complete control of the narrative. We wanted to have that moment at VidCon, and we got it. But still, it was that moment where it was just like an alert. Like, we were at the house. Yeah, we were at the house, and actually Nancy from here, she was here in LA, so she had much better coverage than all of us. She goes, Keith just uploaded to his Instagram story.

And I'm like, oh, great. Let's see. And so I look, and it's all of you guys having the best time of your lives on the bus. You know what the moment was? David was playing our AD. He was playing, no, he was playing the Indiana Jones theme from the ride at Disneyland. And we were riding really fast off-roading and we were all like, yeah. So it was up for like 12 minutes.

12 minutes. It was up for 12 minutes and people were already making memes. Pink team or green team and like the whole thing. Yeah, and so I texted Matt and and then I texted you and Shane, and then he texted Mari. We were like, please get him to take it down now. And meanwhile, we're just like, whoa! It's the happiest clip I've ever seen everyone in.

And I was like, oh, no, this is it. He did feel really bad when we told him. He felt terrible. Yeah, what was the tone in the van once the information got here? He felt bad. He literally was like, oh my God, oh, what,

like, it was not a... I kind of wish you guys would have filmed that moment. No, we should have. Oh, like when you shame a dog for, like, eating something. We didn't have to. He felt so bad.

Not quite that, but just, you know, to get a vibe. That was the thing, like, I was upset and then he came up to me and it's that thing where you're like you're mad at somebody but they know that they're more mad at themselves i'm like well i can't be mad at you because you're more mad at you you're beating yourself up more than i ever could so yeah i i understand him anyway yeah yeah like i understand those brain farts like it just happens and like there's

it's it was i understand it but it's like in those moments like I was so cautious like to just use my camera for that weekend so that we because we really wanted it to feel special during VidCon it didn't ruin anything by any means it's also a little strange that it's been Keith every time it'd be one thing if it was like oh my god Kimmy okay well like she didn't know but like every single time it's been leaked. What are their times? What are their times?

He did it for winter too. He did it for camp. And I think he did it for West. Because people who are watching this stuff, they're like, oh, he leaked it again. Yeah. And they were like talking about the last time he's done it. It's in his name. Keith.

Oh, that's why he's got it. Keith. Yes, Keith. Keith. He Keithed it. When we were at West, I remember we were like, hey, everyone, please don't post the teams of you in your shirt and also you in cowboy gear.

Please don't. And it was the first day, and there were just cowboy hats in everyone's stories. Guys, I got it. I know how to Keith-proof the next games. We make a bunch of fake shirts and take pictures in front of green screen like the Antarctic games, the volcano games. And we have just like a bunch of different color shirts. And that way, the moment he leaks,

we all also leak a bunch of other stuff to confuse everyone. It's like, oh, this year's Summer Games is in Antarctica. No, it's not. I saw it in a volcano. And then they'll never know what we're actually doing. I have a better solution, actually. We send Keith on a decoy Smosh Summer Games

with a bunch of people that are lookalikes of us, and we send them off to a fake Summer Games. We almost did that last year by accident, where he went to the wrong location. Oh, my God. We shot at two different locations, and we shot at location A on day one and location B on day two.

I made sure everyone knew that, and yet on day two, we all get a text from Keith where he's like, I'm at the park. Where is everybody? And we're like, nobody knows. We did it. It worked. And that's classic Keith.

Because I don't know how many times we've shot. Literally, when we used to shoot in Sacramento, Keith would get on a flight on the wrong day and start flying to Sacramento to shoot. Oh, he'd go to the airport a day earlier. Yeah. Yeah. He would just go to the airport on Easter Day. Yeah. I mean, he would just... We all...

He'd go to the airport on Easter day. I missed the flight. He just sent us a photo like, guys, I'm at the airport. I thought we were flying out today. I'm like, it's Easter. What are you doing? He's really dedicated to finding those eggs.

He's excited to shoot. Well, and the worst part is like where he got dropped off on location A in the last Smosh Summer Games. Like he was taking an Uber. So the Uber just left him in this random place in the middle of nowhere.

Random park, which I believe two weeks prior to us shooting they found a dead body there. Hey. Oh, I didn't know that. No one told us that. I venture not to tell you guys that.

Good. Oh, great. Yeah, it was like, because I guess it's somewhere up in like, Deep Valley. And like, I guess like a week before we filmed, we had already got the permit. We had already locked it.

They like, found a corpse there. Oh my goodness. That's why I got hives. I'm allergic to the dead. Oh no. Yeah, that was, yeah. Smosh, haunted, games. But I was like, we cannot tell the cast,

because they're going to lose their minds. Was it like foul play play or natural causes? I don't remember at all. But I remember they were just like, we can't. Interesting, you have no alibi. Yeah, I don't know why I was there. And I wasn't there. No, I think it was a drug thing or something.

Because apparently a lot of people do drugs in that park, too. Yeah, because there's a big difference between someone had a heart attack, and it's like, oh, it's that Valley Park Killer again. One was more concerning than the other. The heart attack and it's like, oh, it's that, you know, Valley Park killer. Yeah. Well, yeah. Because one was more concerning than the other. The heart attack. Yeah. The Valley Park killer.

Yeah. Tell us more. He has a serious problem. Yes. Yes. The dead person was a balloon salesman. He's like, there's nothing that sets me off like balloons. Small summer games.

We love it. Courtney, we forgot to get a butt picture this year. I know, dude. Boom. I know. Every year. What the heck? We didn't get a butt picture this year. I know, dude. Boo. I know. Every year. What the heck? We didn't get a girl pic.

Didn't we? You did. We did a couple girls pics, but we didn't do one in the bathtub. Yeah. We didn't do one in the bathtub. And I was just sitting there in the corner like, what about my girl pic? Swim suit photo. Yeah.

What about my girl pic? We didn't do the butt picture either. I know. Yeah, we could keep it going. I worked on my butt all year. You did? I did, yeah. Same yeah same yeah you do have a pretty wicked dumper is that how you talk you got a wicked dumper i'm pretty sure nobody heard

that you shouted it into ian's mic so let's see so so we we had a lot of cheaters this year so we had matt we already went over that i didn't cheat uh we had wes we had joven um noah tried to cheat yeah i it was in catch your meal we didn't really make a moment out of it in the edit like he he grabbed a snake off the ground and just decided to throw it in our bucket as if we were gonna like count them up and like hoping that it would count as an extra point. But we didn't. It didn't do it. But the historical cheater did not cheat.

Surprisingly. Keith did not cheat. That we could catch. That we could catch. People were trying to call him out in the comments for Dead Light, Green Light, where they're like, he walked too fast, and that was against the rules. I'm like, okay.

No, I was running. I loved him in Dead Light, Green Light. He was great. He did an interpretive dance that was inspirational. He was against the rules. I'm like, no. No, I was running. I loved him in Dead Light, Green Light. He was great. He did like an interpretive dance that was inspirational. He was trolling hard. Oh, he didn't cheat at all, but people were trying.

They were like, oh, there it is. Look, too fast. Have we ever had moments that were like we didn't realize happened until the edit, like a cheat or something like that? I think Wes and the gun. Yeah.

I legitimately, like Sarah and I were watching that cutback and I was like, we were mad at ourselves because in the moment we were just like, so much was going on. We didn't think it and the gun. Yeah. Legitimately, like, Sarah and I were watching that cutback, and I was like, we were mad at ourselves, because in the moment, we were just like, so much was going on. We didn't think it was an issue. And, like, we heard mumblings of, like, oh, he, like, walked the trigger. But, like, in the edit, I was like, oh, god damn it.

Like, when he's walking. Yeah, when he was walking around. The people who were out there getting shot at knew that that was not. I wish you guys had tattled to us, because, like, as refs, like, we have a lot on our minds. We're trying to actually ref the game, but we're also... We are being pinned down by rapid fire. You can literally hear us screaming, that's rapid fire.

We're not on the ground. I was on a second level. I couldn't hear you guys shouting. I picture the refs in fancy chairs eating fogwalla. More grapes. There appears to be some commotion down among the peasants. Let the plebeians play. Because you guys are directing the video and camera people,

making sure no one's getting hurt. Tons of camera people were getting shot because of that. One of our camera girls, Jackie, she got hit in the chest, or at least it ricocheted off something and hit her. I got to say that too. Our camera guys went crazy. Nick nick and darren both were like straight war photographers darren wanted to get shot he said that he's like he's like i want to feel the pain he's an insane person i was in that little bridge thing uh at one point this mostly got cut and it was like the only time i was able

to make it far enough to actually like try to advance on their target and Ian comes from the side and Darren is to my right like basically blocking me just to film it and so Darren just gets completely decked out in pain and that's when I also got shot under my mask like on the jaw where the jaw meets the meat of your face and I took I took my time to line up my shot make sure I didn't hit Darren and I pulled off one shot and I just went to Darren. He just went, whoop, bam! Right in the freaking head. You shot the poor boy. The first shot just nailed Darren

right in the side of the head. Squaw in the dome. I don't know how people are accurate with those things. Like the wind, it's just like all over the place. You have to have Wes's gun. Oh, right, right, right. Yeah, I shot Wes's gun afterwards and it's a very nice piece of machinery. Hindsight, we should have taken it from him. I asked him about it.

I appreciate the craftsmanship. I have a gun that was obliterating us. I will say I am of the opinion that even if he had a regular gun, Wes is also nuts out on the field. He used to play in tournaments and stuff. I mean, I think Wes alone could probably beat all of us together in a paintball match So but giving him a supercharged weapon was And that's the thing fly under the radar because he's lost so many of these that you guys were like I just give him one

Well, it's not like when you guys went to the field we were like let's see your guns let's see your goggles let's like do a check of all they put no one else had known that they brought he texted me and said it's an identical gun to everybody else's it should be fine that's that's that's on me trusting west who i've known for a decade i'm sorry if it's identical why bother going through all the trouble of hauling it down in your car? You gotta pick out those words, man. It's weird. I just thought he was a weird guy. He brought paintballing

pants. That's how you know. Also, not just his gun, but his hopper, the thing that holds the paintballs. He has an electric hopper that basically forces the balls down faster so you can shoot a lot faster. And I was like, can you turn that off? So it's just like ours.

And he's like, oh, everybody's is the same. And I was like, he just lied to us. He just lied. I think it's a good opportunity to point out, though, that yes, the refs are aware that these are just games. It's whatever. When we're playing them, we get serious about it. While we're filming it, we are dead serious.

We get so competitive. Strategy. As soon as it's over, we generally let it go. Oh, dude, kickball. But in the moments, we get so into it. You are watching real competition. Kickball, I feel like kickball almost ended Smosh. Yeah, no, it did.

Kickball legitimately almost ended Smosh. Yeah, no, it did. Kickball legitimately almost ended Smosh. It was because everyone thought they understood how kickball is played. It turns out we all played by different rules when we grew up, apparently, because we couldn't agree on a single rule once we started playing. It was brutal.

I got mad. I was having fun. You operate in chaos. Well, yeah, and when I grew up uh we would play some like family softball games at at my uh grandma's house and my uncles and my cousins would all play together and it was exactly like that everyone's just yelling at each other i was like you can't do that blah blah blah and i'm like this is great this reminds me of home and i was like i was having a blast i was like ah the ref what are you doing that call and i was having fun and then all of a sudden, someone's like, shut it down.

The game's over. We can't play anymore. Everyone's too mad. I'm like, oh, really? I thought this was great. And I'm like, yelling's kind of like when I played with my family. It's like yelling's kind of part of the game. It's just like what happens.

And so I didn't understand that. People were genuinely upset. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that was probably the roughest. That was definitely the roughest point in summer games. And I hope we never get to that point. It never felt too overly competitive.

We never had any sort of angry moments in this summer games. Do you guys remember any sort of rough points? No, not with each other. Like during the operation, like the bees and the stress of all that. I just like contact sports in general make me very anxious. Like I ran track. I like to stay in my lane and just do my best by myself. So when we did those games like kickball and stuff and people are starting to get mad.

Like I once with a past boyfriend, I like played basketball with him and his cousins. And they like start yelling at me because I did a bad pass. And I'm just like, oh my God god i can't do this at all like it's just like scary when you're like physically like against each other like that so i think i spoke too soon uh the op the real life operation actually was was a rough moment uh because uh we didn't realize and and i don't i don't put the the blame on the people who scouted locations. Apparently, the desert is just home to hundreds of wasps. It's like those bees that live in the sand, like the ones that burrow.

Sand bees. They're like yellow jackets or wasps. And in greater numbers. Yeah. So they decided to really show up when we were all sitting there covered in slime. And the worry was that the bees were going to get stuck in the slime, start freaking out, start stinging us. Luckily, they didn't sting anyone.

I did a lot of running around avoiding them. But actually, one of the PAs did get stung. And I'm real glad I didn't because she had this huge red welt on her. Poor thing. Really? Dude, that sucks. I mean, she was wearing a crop top welt on her. Poor thing. Really? Yeah. That sucks. I mean, she was wearing a crop top in the desert. Like, you're going to get stung. We were all wearing crop tops.

I'm pretty sure. Laser corners and a crop top. That's desert wear. Yeah, that's fair, I guess. Wait, Matt, are you saying that a woman, sorry. No. I'm asking for that stink. Oh, no.

I'm not. That's what Matt was no. I'm not. That's what Matt was saying. I'm not. I honestly think you guys were in the best position being covered in slime, because I don't think wasps or bees can function in a slime area. You could just flick them off.

But they did want that slime. They did. But it's like they're crawling to their deaths. And this is something I guess we should have made clear. The slime was not like a gelatinous, like, it wasn't like a Nickelodeon box slime. It was thick water, which is just thick water. There's no sugar or glucose. And

the powdered, uh, holly powder that we used to slap. That's all it was. That's literally all it was. There's nothing that would have attracted the wasps or made the wasps sting you. It would have been fine if you got I think it was just boring in the desert, so they were like, ooh, bodies. What are these? What's happening?

Yeah, I think they could smell your fear. I mean, bees see, like, color and stuff like that, and they get attracted. And we weren't worried about, like, they were going to come and, like, eat us because we were covered in slime. It was just literally if they, it was sticky, and it was, like, also hardening and making it harder for us to move. And, like, if the bees, I'm just scared of bees in general. Bees don't enjoy competition. Yeah. That's the one thing is, like, we never know about these things until we are in the moment.

Oh, yeah. How can you replicate that for practice? How can we test these things out? And so it's like we're all in this together. No one's on vacation. I think the refs should have gone out there. No, we talked about this. So next time because Matt and I and Garrett mitch all went out and uh scouted the

location next time we go anywhere whether it's summer or winter games we're going to cover ourselves in the slime yes and make sure he's going to be naked i'm going to go naked i'm going to test that out for sure yeah we have a whole list yeah this is good this is good bring a toilet bring a toilet out wherever you go and just sit there naked. Yeah, I'm going to check all the backs of the toilets, make sure there's water in there. And if there's not water, I'm going to make sure I can take it from the tub and put it in.

Upper tank it, yeah. Make sure you get a bed. I think next year should be Smosh Summer Games, 68 degrees even for the entirety of the games. That would be great. Are we ever going to do winter games? I've never gotten to do one, please. It's the same thing, but just cold.

Yes! That's exactly what I want. Maybe not winter games. Maybe there's something really cool we could do in the winter that I think would be rad. I think there's something that we could do. But I mean, where do we go from here in summer? I don't know. Let me check Keith's Instagram. Yeah.

I want medieval games. I want to rent a castle and have a... You think castles aren't hot? It's a big brick oven. You think that's not going to suck? But what? Bricks are cold in the winter. Sure.

I will tell you that last year, before we were like, we knew if we were going to do summer games or not, we did go scout a couple of castle locations because we did want that. But then our budget was $4. And we couldn't make it happen. That's why you siege a castle and you take it sorry four dollars is so much money in medieval times that's true she has a point they caught me american currency was a lot during medieval times yeah yeah i mean medieval could be cool um cruise ship smosh medea games Oh yeah we all dress up like Madea

Madea I don't know It's Madea It's Matilda Hallelujah Do we have any rejected themes That we like You said we almost were going to do medieval times

College I pitched Smosh University because I thought like that's like an attainable budget and we could do fraternities and sororities

competitive tank stand yeah the merch would have been really dope yeah and then maybe Shane could finally

finish college finally oh wow was that supposed to be a roast because I think it's actually awesome that he's

finishing college right now the most responsible education of all of us haha Was that supposed to be a roast? Because I think it's actually awesome that he's doing it. That's the most responsible education out of all of us. Ha ha. Ha ha. I'm pursuing higher education. What a loser. We talked about doing pirate themed.

We talked about doing Harry Potter games. Wizard games. That's a winter thing. Literally the first Harry Potter was a Christmas movie. The Yule Ball Okay Alright Jamie and Sick That time

We talked about Shipwrecked Or a lost style Yeah Oh yeah My goal is Cruise Cruise or tropical

Yeah So if you're listening Or watching this podcast And your mom or dad Or uncle Owns a cruise line I'm gonna put Sarah's number on the screen

Or Sarah Or if they own Or just an independent Cruise ship Owned just by the family We like that too uncle owns a cruise line. I'm going to put Sarah's number on the screen. Call Sarah. Or just an independent cruise ship owned just by the family. We can make it work. I think the cruise would be so fun. I've never been on one. Cruises are dope. I think the way we could do this

and save some money is we just pirate the cruise ship. We show up on those boats and throw grappling hooks and we just pirate the cruise ship. Like we show up on those boats and throw grappling hooks and like I am the captain now. Smash our games. We're the captain now. Shut up. Get back on deck.

Get back on deck. Yeah, I'm down. If you can climb a rope from a grappling hook, we will do this. Oh, man. It's Captain Phillips. We do special events Captain Phillips. I want to be Tom Hanks. Super topical.

Cool. That really happened. That was a true story. Wow. All right, Sarah, thanks. Thanks. I mean, we're coming up on our time here. What were some of the other apocalypse names

that we didn't settle? Oh, toxicity was originally going to be Toxic Masculinity. Yeah. Which I love that. Send Nukes was such a good one. I really wanted to do Send Nukes. What else was there? I mean, my personal favorite was Waka Flockalypse. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, then there was the

Fallout Bays. Yes. That came close. Oh, I liked that one. Fallout Bays came really close. Fallout Bays was really good. I liked it too. Vault, what was it? Vault Bays? Ohays came really close. Fallout Bays was really good. I liked it too. What was it? Vault Bays? Oh, Nuclear Winners. Oh, the Nuclear Winners was good. Yeah.

Yeah, there was a bunch that we... I can't remember. It was Toxic Masculinity was one that we were actually going to do. And then what was the other one? Oh, Fallout Bays. Yeah, those were going to be the ones. We've already done Bays. Oh, no.

It was Toxic Yaskulinity. Oh, that's a... Yeah, those are going to be the ones. We've already done Bays. Oh, no, it was Toxic Yasculinity. Oh, that's a good one. It was Toxic Yasculinity. And Mari, you were actually like, we've already done Yas, we've already done Bay. We should really mix it up. And we did, and I actually really like what we came up with. Oh, these are the best. Yeah, I agree.

Also, best shirts of any summer games, I would say. The colors are so good. They pop so well. And there's been so much makeup tutorials that have happened when people are doing both team makeup. All the fan art has been so amazing this year. Yeah. People have been having a lot of fun. I do really love how much we went all out this year.

I think it definitely is going to set a standard for future stuff. Because, I mean, Wild West, we did it a little bit. We did the trailer where we dressed up for that. And then we did like cowboy hats and stuff, but this time was so cool. I dyed my hair pink that washed out like after three days, but it's fine. Um,

I'm, I'm excited for future ones to do more of that. Yeah. I think, I think as far as like this one went, like, I think it was the, the,

the best produced, like best handled summer games and big shout outs go to to you guys for setting that whole thing up yeah honestly the garrett garrett garrett our producer started as a pa i think at wild west and has been like his risen in the ranks and like he crushed it this year yeah also big shout out to spencer he edits every single competition. And he does for like every year. Every year we make sure Spencer's the solo editor of the competitions because he's got a certain style and it's always worked. And he takes, this is not like a gameplay video.

He's taking sometimes like three hours of footage of like 12 cameras and cutting it into a coherent 12-minute video. And it's really solid. And he's shooting. And he shot this year. What was the 80s trailer he did that was so funny? We did it a couple times. We did it for first summer.

We did it for Beach House and then we did it again for camp. And I just love that aesthetic of VHS. Whose voice is that previously on Smosh Summer Games? That's a robot. That's a robot. There was actually an algorithm that we found not too long ago. I think at some point everyone was out of the office, and we needed to do end card VO.

I was like, well, I don't want to do it. And we found this website that allows you to just auto-speak to text. We just typed it in, and it just works. I was like, it's so creepy. Let's use it. It makes me feel so, like every year that I hear it, it makes me feel so good. It brings me back.

That's great that it works. I love it. Oh, also, shout out to Ryan, our Trash Panda, for shooting the intro. The trailer was so good. It brings me back. That's great that it works. I love it. Oh, also, shout out to Ryan, our trash panda, for shooting the intro. The trailer was sick. The trailer was awesome. I had a great time up until almost dying from sweating to death. Yeah. But then you had good naked toilet time.

Yeah. Which is always a good time. But yeah, I feel like this Summer Games was really awesome. I feel like we had the most control over it. Like, we finally got to, like, have, like, full kind of say on what happened. Big shout-out to Borderlands 3 for doing the little sponsorship. Sponsors go. Like, some people are always in the comments being like,

oh, this is the third Wendy's ad I've seen on Summer Games. I was like, dude, like, it's Saturday. It's not cheap. Yeah, like, we're like... It's not cheap. It's bad to know Summer Games, too. Yeah, like, we're so thankful when we get those. Like, what was the one that we got a sponsorship, like, the night before release on Summer Games or something? Wasn't it? Was that the Bourne Identity or whatever?

Oh, it was Jason Bourne. Yeah, it was, like, the night before we went up. It was, like, we got, like, Universal came in. That was where everyone saw, like, the, oh, my God, it's Jason Bourne. Oh, my God, it's Jason Bourne. Over and over again. And I get it. And, look, it's not a perfect science, but at the end of the oh my god, it's Jason Bourne. Oh my god, it's Jason Bourne. And I get it. Look, it's not a perfect science, but at the end of the day,

this thing costs $4, and we don't have $4. Yeah. Without sponsors, we'd be like, welcome to Smosh Summer Games, Ian's backyard. We blew it. Smosh Summer Games, we blew it. We had no money, and it was bad. Yeah, that was difficult.

And I think this year did really well. It seems like you guys at home enjoyed this one. If you haven't watched all of the videos yet, highly recommend you do it. They're still on YouTube. I suggest you check them out. For now. They're still on YouTube.

Let's go down the row. Which video was your guys' favorite? Of this year? guys favorite of this year yeah of of this year okay yeah i guess i'll just start i i would say like my favorite was probably the the smosh family feud yeah yeah just because i like you guys you guys told us to prepare for some tea um but y'all brought it. I know we didn't do one. What was the question?

Who two are the most fake? Who have the fakest friendship? Who have the fakest friendship? So when I pitched this idea, I think I took it from Survivor. I think it's a Survivor game. It's literally a game show called Family Feud. No, that's different. They poll 100 people. It's more like match game, but tattling on each other. a survivor game it's literally a game show called family feud no that's different they pull 100

people okay it's like more like match game but like tattling on each other but it's a survivor game i'm pretty sure so we were when we were making these questions we were like how far should we go and we were i had backup questions but we're like we should just go for it because we never really go for it this is a great way for like douchebag Damien and Shane to give everyone shit. It really turned out to be exactly what it was. Maybe we do more in the future with other squads on YouTube. That would be really, really cool.

I will say, outside of Trash Panda, my favorite character that came out of Summer Games was Evil Damien. Hands down, Evil Damien, very likable. Shane knows him very well. He's been slumbering for a long time, but he'll come back. Oh, yeah, I know Dark Damien so well. We call him Dark Damien very likable Shane knows him very well he's been slumbering for a long time but he'll yeah I respect him so well we call them dark three years but he just he just comes out a very small moment and it's like it's

almost like family therapy for us because we can all come out with our stuff and like I mean sure a little bit is is rooted in truth but at the same time like we all love each other and we know that whatever we're saying, we're not actually saying it out of spite. We're not trying to start shit. So, I mean, yeah.

I want to give props for Joven, because it definitely became a roast. You mean Jo-in. Jo-in. Jo-in. It became a roast on him for the entirety of it. And that's the great thing is that, like, everyone is such a good sport. Like, because that game you could easily take personally

and be mad at each other and everything like that. But, like, Noah and Keith after the game, I just remember they were like, holy crap, we've never gone there before. And I was like, guys, it turned out great. And they're like, no, it was so much fun. I think it really takes a lot of confidence in all of you to be able to take that type of thing. Yeah, and I will say that after I called out Olivia for being late,

she was on time the next day. I mean, we kind of were all sleeping in the same place. Also had a very positive influence on Kimmy's social media. Yeah. She gained like 20,000 or something like that. Yeah. Amazing. It's almost like everyone had something to rally against to prove wrong

so that then they would go to Kimmy's social media and follow her and show her love. Are you taking credit for all of her success? Yes. You're just being mean. Start Damien. Damien, what was your favorite competition? For as stressful as it was, it was really fun to play that giant operation.

I wish everybody else had an opportunity to do so because it was fun as hell. Now, if you were not the operator and if you were sitting there with a slime on, would it have been your favorite competition? Absolutely not. But we're asking what my favorite is. Part of me wondered if you wanted to be the surgeon because you just wouldn't get slimed on.

Did we make it clear in the video that it took Damien literally an hour to do his thing? Not an hour, but a long time. The edit was clean. We had to cut it down. There was a lot. There was a lot. It was a long time. We had to cut it down. There was a lot. It was a long time, but no, I don't mind the slime, and we didn't know about the bees and the hard, drying pain before then,

so it was just a matter of, like, I want to play Operation. That was it. I know it doesn't count as a competition, but watching Toxicity perform for Try Not to Laugh was incredible. Mari, I feel like that's the hardest I've ever laughed on that

series, like ever, was when you were that character. Dude, Mari, what the hell? Like that slide is like the coolest thing I've ever seen. My favorite bit, I think. Yeah, it was weird. I don't know where that voice came from, and when it happened, it was a surprise to me as well.

Got possessed for like a second where that voice came from. And when it happened, it was a surprise to me as well. Got possessed for like a second. It like came from like the bowels and I'm like, oh, it's happening. It was great. I think that was probably one of my favorite try not to laugh bits.

Also fucking, oops, it doesn't matter if I say fuck. You're a podcast, you know? Joven, Joven doing the front flip. I was like,

I was like, what is he's not going to, Oh my God. He's been practicing or something. No, he said he'd never done it before. What? Oh my goodness.

Yeah. And he chose to do it almost naked. He did do a kip up like successfully. Yeah. Eventually. That was impressive. He got spit on, which was very enjoyable.

Yeah. Uh, laser corn uh despite despite uh wes's over overbearing gun i really liked uh paintball i just really like playing paintball in general it's just fun and i really get into it and i got you know i was uh i think i killed you when i was like prone under the uh under the bridge just oh you mean you come up you mean when you were defending and you weren't supposed to go 10 feet from the base right and you were this was after this was after wes had already turned on auto mode which by the way it's it slipped i still don't believe that i think there was like an ignition sequence he's like flipping eight switches but anyway uh yeah after that i'm just like whatever i'm yeah so i was on defense and i killed you guys and i'm like

move up attack move up attack you know they have two walking back and i didn't see anyone going up and i'm just like fuck it and i charged up and i was like lighting up your base and stuff yeah i was having a blast we were pretty aware though like we when when i saw laser corn was going forward i was like okay i'll be defense. Yeah. It was great. We had some good duels there, too, because you were always on that side. And it was me and, quote, unquote, Olivia, Tommy. We had Operation Chaos, which is where we just kind of went around the side and just tried to screw with you guys.

And, yeah, we had some good duels. My bruises, dude. Yeah, I could hear you guys. And there were we had some good duels. My bruises, dude. Yeah, I could hear you guys, and there were those shipping containers over there, and I could hear you guys, your footsteps echoing around. I'm like, where are they? Yeah, it was very intense. We had vests on underneath at first, and I'm like, I don't want to go with the vest.

And I took off the vest, and then Noah's like, cut holes in your nipples again. And I'm like, maybe too far, but no vests! It'll just hit me through the shirt. But yeah, I just love playing paintball, and I had a good time. Next time, I'm bringing my own gun. Let's see who wins then. Is it just a gun?

Let us shoot Wes. We're going to just make you guys do it by throwing the paintballs. That's what we're going to do. Wes is going to come with a fake arm that's a paintball gun. God. My favorite video also was Family Feud because I had a lot of fun with you guys. And also Spelling Bikini Wax.

I love shooting that video every time. I have so much fun watching you guys all in pain. And the Joven callback. And the Joven callback, yeah. And everyone was like, didn't everyone know that Joven's bad at spelling? Yes callback yeah and everyone was like didn't everyone know that Joven's bad at spelling yes that's why he was on the show

dude apparently when he was gonna do that chest wax thing like that when he took his shirt off he wasn't planning to do that like he was planning on

just being fully naked for his regular wax but I was like oh he's bringing it back to the chest wax and Joven was like yeah so that was my bad oh that's what happened yeah apparently he wasn't planning to do that bringing it back to the chest wax. And Joven was like, yeah.

So that was my bad. Oh, that's what happened? Yeah, apparently he wasn't planning to do that. Yeah, I had no clue he was going to do that. He just runs on instinct. That's just Joven's superpower. He's a smart man. Joven is very smart. Joven.

Joven. The first person in history to misspell his own name. Well, probably not, but yeah. Also the question, the question he had done that on was like who's the least book smart? Yeah. That is a crazy mistake. So perfect. My favorite competition that we haven't talked about yet is the crossbow shootout. So obviously it was very hot when we did it. Ian that it helped you earn the worst fail, which sucks, but it was a great moment.

Also, it was just a personal goal of mine to have Shane lick my armpit, so that was incredible for me. He could die now. Oh my gosh. I'm slowly dying. Yeah, so that was a big moment for me and I really enjoyed that.

Also, seeing Matt's idea for a punishment come to life, which is the tongue drill. What did we call it? It was Atomic Wet Willie. Atomic Wet Willie. Yeah. That was amazing. That was our other handle. He's now obsessed with those fake tongues.

I love him. You're going to see him in a couple Smosh Games videos. Buckle up. Yeah. Before this podcast, he was playing with one, just having it in his mouth. It's so gross. I was like, is that edible? He's like, no. It just sticks in his mouth. It's so gross. I was like, is that edible? He's like, no.

It just sticks in his mouth. I mean, I'm old school. My favorite every year, which is why we bring it back every year, is belly flop. I love it. It's so much fun. And because you guys won't let me bring back hot peppers or mousetraps is the only thing I can bring back. I'm down for hot peppers.

Okay. I'm down for mousetraps. Mouse peppers. Mouse peppers. Mouse peppers. Belly flop is just great. Because I I mean I feel like every year there's always kind of like and you guys are actually really good at this like finding moments in the video with

12 people all yelling at the same time but belly flop is the only competition I feel like where everyone gets a showcase every single one of you gets a showcase and you're able to like have a moment and it really plays and I think every this year like you said like everyone brought it every single person brought it kimmy for her first time ever i feel like her pun was strong her flop was strong like she did a really good

job like everyone brought it joven brought it you're you're almost near death even keith keith who last year legitimately phoned it in uh this year i think he did a really good job yeah i was i was legitimately surprised i think this was our best belly flop. And those thumbnails, man. And even Wes did the, he brought Shane up for a second. He did the faint. Yeah, he almost did the Wes rap, which I was like, I thought we killed it, but he's a good sport with it. Man, that thing, we beat that dead horse back to life. Just one year, I wish he'd do a rap, and I wish that he had gotten private lessons for a year

and would get really good at rapping. One of these years. My favorite was also Paintball. I was lighting up Noah and Keith at one point as two bean poles, and that was great because they were just fooling around. And also, this one doesn't count as a competition, but I love the fact that we were able to bring back Mario craft It was great it was really so those four episodes were a journey long live Brunhilde Are your hair your hair looks so sick? Oh right now right now. I love it. You're doing like a warm blue

Yeah, I'm on purpose. She spent a lot of money. No, I don't know what's going on with it. My hair girl moved to Tennessee, so now it's just doing its own thing. Fly there. Fly to Tennessee. Go to Tennessee. We have the same hair person. Dude, it looks so good. We might have to start flying.

Yeah. It's been problematic. But anyway. Thank you, Courtney. Yeah. Mine was also belly flop. It was really impressive how every single person brought it. But Matt basically said everything that I think on that.

So I want to give a shout out to one of my favorite try not to laugh jokes ever, which is now LaserCorn's diphtherium medication. That was insane. Was it the slide into his DMs or whatever? Yeah, which back in my day meant diphtherium medication, which just blew my mind. And then Courtney also had boneless, which is probably my favorite joke she's ever done.

Oh, my God, yes. Thank you. The sassy leg bit, too, was also boneless. I really think those two gauntlets are, like, two of our best ever made. It's really fun when we get to get all together for those. I think the last time we all did a Try Not to Laugh together was the Smosh Games Try Not to Laugh at Defy, right?

Oh, man. And then also Tommy had the Jamie Lee Curtis competition. There's not a bad joke in either of them. Even Wes doing his roasting is really, really funny. It was great, man. It was great, man. It was awesome, man. I think this wrapping up Smosh Summer Games apocalypse, I'd say just big win overall.

Best year by far, I think. I'm happy with everything. I also think, yeah, we talked about with the fan art, but we have to shout out the fans. Absolutely. Obviously, we can't do any of this stuff without the fans. And, and it's like,

it's so important that the fandom is, and like such positivity, such support. Everyone's so glad that we've been able to do this, especially compared to last year. And I like, I really do appreciate the fandoms, especially cause I'm in social and I,

and I see all of them talking all the time. And, you know, share. Share with your friends. And so you guys have something to geek out about, because really that's like really what we need to continue to do awesome stuff like this. This is the only reason why we do it. Sitting in the desert for four days at 115 degrees with a naked Ryan Todd is fun and all, but we do it for you guys.

It's the best time ever. And actually, the point that that really hit for me was showing the trailer at VidCon. Yeah. A huge room full of fans. That moment, I've never played in a band live to people, but I have to imagine that's a similar feeling, seeing everyone so excited and just cheering. The second Matt announced announced you didn't even announce it you kind of teased it i was like oh yeah that roar that happened and then yeah and then when the video starts and the trailer starts and we walk out of that door and

we're like i'm so excited for summer people are like you haven't even heard the the joke yet dude i found there was i was tagged in a video on instagram that a fan just recorded it from the audience so it was really cool to listen to that because you can hear what everyone's saying they're like that's so freaking sick yeah well i i you guys were on stage and and luckily when we're at vidcon we can be a little incognito so i was in the audience with them and just looking at some of the fans' faces. And I remember just one girl, her jaw was on the floor.

She was standing up and she was like, and then I saw her like an hour later buying both of the team shirts. And I'm like, this is so sweet. And they even cheered when like the ref's shot came up on screen. And I was like, oh my God, this is amazing. And so it's like we feel the love.

We definitely feel the love always. Oh, yeah, so much this year. It was great. So if you haven't yet gone through all the Summer Games videos, get some friends together. Root on your favorite team. Watch it from beginning to end. And if your relative owns a cruise line, tweet at us.
