I want to figure out what the phobia term is for my fear. I have this like actual fear that my belly button is going to be reopened.
Starting point is 00:01:16 I did try out a dating app. I came across Courtney's sister's profile. My sister never saw him because she has a height minimum. Is that ridiculous or what? I'm not even that short. You don't seem short at all. She dropped the cat off and then left, and then that was kind of the last we heard from her.
Starting point is 00:01:36 Okay. Oh, well, hello, everybody. Welcome to another Smoshcast. We're going to start it with that cough. Oh, okay. So today I am joined by Courtney and the lovable fellas from a podcast called Podcast But Outside. Cole Hirsch and Andrew, I don't know your last name. Oh, it's Michonne. Andrew Michonne.
Starting point is 00:02:02 Yeah, thank you. Andrew Michonne, yeah. I like that last name. He's thinking of taking on my last name. Yeah, I might take on his last name. Wait, so are you guys going to get married so you have his last name? No, you can just take last names. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:13 He's taking a lot from me. And I'm going to take it and he won't have it anymore. Is that how it works? Yeah, he won't have a last name. I'll just be Andrew Hirsch and he'll just be Cole. Wow. Oh. Can I have your old last name?
Starting point is 00:02:24 It does get donated. Oh. Like a low be Cole. Wow. Oh. Can I have your old last name? It does get donated. Oh. Like a low-income family. Yeah. Oh. It gets donated. If no one wants it, though, it gets put down. It does get put down, unfortunately, yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:34 Do you want mine? No, I'm good. Okay. It's pretty unique. It's the same as a beer. What's your middle name, or is that too private? No, everybody knows. It's Ruth.
Starting point is 00:02:44 Oh, that's right. Why, or is that too private? No, everybody knows. It's Ruth. Oh, that's right. Why did you say that like that? I like Ruth. You're like, oh, that's right. What is yours? Andrew? That's a stupid name. Wait a second.
Starting point is 00:02:55 Wait a second. You could change your middle name to Light, and it'd be Light Miller. Kind of like Miller Light. Oh. Yeah. That's not a good idea. Or L-I-G-H-T, just meaning like you're not heavy. Yeah, I'm a light.
Starting point is 00:03:09 Not heavy. So the podcast that you guys do, you've had to explain it to every single person that has ever sat down in your chair. But can you explain it for the 15,000th time? We'd love to. Yeah. Yeah. So it's called Podcasts But Outside. And Cole and I set up a table on the sidewalk at different locations around Los Angeles
Starting point is 00:03:28 and the world to interview anyone who walks by. Yeah, we have a sign on our table that says, hi, be a guest on our podcast, and we will pay you $1. We are the only ethical podcast. Wait, are we, sorry, are we getting paid today? Um. A dollar. Yeah, so we are the only ethical podcast that pays $1.
Starting point is 00:03:43 Because if you asked us that question, the answer is definitely yes, $1. Honestly, I can't think of any podcast that actually pay to have their guests on. Now that I think about it. I know. That's what we're changing. Yeah. That's good. I think start a standard here.
Starting point is 00:03:56 Yeah. Pay your guests a dollar. It's really all it takes. The difference between $0 and $1 is immense. It is. Did you guys try doing the podcast, but outside without the dollar? No. No, it was always part of it.
Starting point is 00:04:08 Yeah, we've never been evil or corrupt like most corporations. Yeah, and maybe when we get big enough, we might become corrupt. But for now, we're pretty reasonable. Yeah, that is very reasonable. Thank you. What was the reasoning behind the dollar? Was it a sort of like a legal thing? No, we just had too much money, and we had to get rid of it.
Starting point is 00:04:27 It sounds very enticing, the dollar. Sometimes you just have all this money and it's kind of just annoying and you just kind of want to be like, get out of here. Yeah. So that's what happened. But no, the ultimate thing with the podcast is just talking to strangers and hearing their weird stories. And it's folks who would never otherwise be on a podcast.
Starting point is 00:04:42 I feel like, you know, podcasts are pretty populated by people in the entertainment industry or creative types. And we're just talking to like random people who were never otherwise be on a podcast. I feel like, you know, podcasts are pretty populated by people in the entertainment industry or creative types. And we're just talking to like random people who were never planning on doing that. And the stories that we get are, I think, very interesting. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I've listened to several of them.
Starting point is 00:04:56 And I think the first one that I listened to, well, the first like full one, because I've seen the clips and like, you know, you guys had the first sort of like, the first like full one because I've seen the clips and like you know you guys had the first sort of like the first big blow up was the
Starting point is 00:05:07 the old lady that you guys talked to that was like oh yeah I had a husband but he he died
Starting point is 00:05:14 and you're like oh like what was his deal we dug deeper to find out that so cool he was a doctor but he was also
Starting point is 00:05:21 a crack addict yeah secret crack addict for like decades and she didn't know until he died. Yeah. Oh, my God. And she was like an old Jewish woman in her 80s, like very funny about it, had a very good sense of humor, and it was a really interesting conversation. Was it you, Cole, that was like, how did he die?
Starting point is 00:05:37 Was it from the crack? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I said, did he die from crack? She said, yes, and she laughed. And then Andrew asked, he's like, how did he get addicted to crack? And then she just has a perfect pause and says, he started smoking it.
Starting point is 00:05:53 It was like so good. I love that. And then you guys got like, you evaded being like kicked off that park. Yeah, we evaded. So we found a filming permit loophole because usually you need permits to film in public. Yeah. In Santa Monica.
Starting point is 00:06:09 You were in Santa Monica. And they're really like, they're assholes about people filming. Yeah, yeah. But we figured out, I mean, this has been our plan since before we even recorded the first episode. Really?
Starting point is 00:06:21 Yeah, yeah. Like you're allowed to film something if you're just on the street. You're not allowed to film a production. So our plan was just being like, we don't know that guy. He just Yeah, yeah. Like you're allowed to film something if you're just on the street. You're not allowed to film a production. So our plan was just being like, we don't know that guy. He just started filming us. Yeah, but we're only recording audio and you're allowed to do that, I guess. Exactly, yeah. So we
Starting point is 00:06:34 kind of just tried it and the security guy was like, okay, good enough for me and he walked away. But what you didn't see in that minute clip is that immediately after another security guard comes by he says, what did that guy say? He said it was cool. And then that guy walked away.
Starting point is 00:06:49 It happens twice in a row. So I think another loophole then is when one of those guys comes up, you say, oh, well, another guy came before you and said it was okay. We thought about that. Even if a business tells us to leave, we're just like, oh, we talked to the manager. He said we could be here. I mean, what are they going to say?
Starting point is 00:07:05 These are just people being paid to, I don't know. But we do, I mean, the best filming spots are like, we do search for abandoned storefronts to film in front of. Yeah, that way there's just no concern. We can just be there and no one cares. But to be honest, we've recorded like, you know,
Starting point is 00:07:21 22 episodes so far, and we've never been like fully kicked out and shut down. We've had to move slightly, like, you know, 10 feet away or something, but we've never like you know 22 episodes so far and we've never been like fully kicked out and shut down we've had to like move slightly like you know 10 feet away or something but we've never like you can't do this and we have to like call it yeah because you guys because you guys also filmed in vegas where they're very very yeah particular about because they don't want street performers because that takes away from the actual money making things so you guys had to like the the laws that you can't have anything on the ground anything stationary we found out this magician who was our guest he happened but he happened to be arrested seven times for street performing and he so he so we got shut down and then he advised us this is when what episode what 20 something like that uh he told us that we had to um as long as we
Starting point is 00:08:04 didn't have anything stationary, like no table, nothing touching the ground, no chairs, then we were fine. So we just carried all our equipment, put all the mics in our pockets, and it was very, very sketchy. Oh, my goodness. But people came by. We had a ton of guests. There was a whole crowd forming around us.
Starting point is 00:08:19 It became like a real show. Yeah. It was fun. Andrew flashed everyone. I did, yeah. It was pretty cool. Nice. Yeah, it was nice. Your pee-pee i did yeah it was pretty cool nice yeah it was nice your peepee i kind of just did it all yeah yeah my peepee cole's peepee i kind of flashed
Starting point is 00:08:30 everything yeah i'm like i said he takes a lot for me yeah exactly yeah vegas must have been very interesting because um i don't i don't know if the people at home know, but everybody on the street of Vegas is either drunk, crazy, or a little mix of both. Yeah, it really is like a no consequences, no rules zone. At least at the nightlife. I mean, because, I mean, daytime, it's a lot of tourists, right? Well, that's what we mean, tourists. I mean, at night, the tourists are just like, they don't care. They're just like doing whatever.
Starting point is 00:09:02 I think it's very strange that people take their families to Vegas. It's not. I went, my first time there was, I think I was 10. And I couldn't do anything. I had to be escorted because we were staying in a casino at the MGM. I had to be escorted. Anytime I entered the hotel, I had to be escorted through the casino. You're not allowed on a certain colored carpet.
Starting point is 00:09:21 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. There's like lanes that you have to stay in. You're not allowed to step out of the lanes within the casino if you're a certain colored carpet. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. There's like lanes that you have to stay in. You're not allowed to step out of the lanes within the casino if you're a certain age. And did anyone give you one of those booby cards? Oh, yeah, as a kid we called them... What? We called them Yugiho cards.
Starting point is 00:09:40 Yugiho? Oh, my God, that's amazing. Yeah, and we'd trade them and collect them. What? Yu-Gi-Oh! What do you mean? Pokemon?
Starting point is 00:09:50 Pokemon works too. Oh, that works too, yeah. What do you mean, we? Who were you trading? You and your dad. Yeah, me and my dad. Yeah, my mom hated that game. Did your dad coin Yu-Gi-Oh?
Starting point is 00:10:05 No, I think that was me. I think I was pretty proud of that. But it was me and my brother and then a couple of family friends as well. Dude, that's awesome. Yeah. That's the best. And you were 10 when you did this? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:19 Nice, dude. I would have been so stoked if I saw a boob when I was 10. Well, they have little stars over the nipples. Like real life, right? Yeah, like real life. Yeah, exactly. We are planets and our nipples are stars. I feel like when I went to Vegas, the only fun thing I did because I was like 15.
Starting point is 00:10:39 And we just did Madame Tussauds. The wax museum. The wax museum, yeah. So weird. I mean, yeah, the only thing, because we couldn't do anything really as kids in Vegas.
Starting point is 00:10:50 So the way my parents compensated for that was they took us indoor skydiving. And we were like in a tube. Yeah. I feel like the people that work there
Starting point is 00:11:01 make it look really awesome and like good. And then like you get in there and it's, does it work? Did you have fun? Yeah, I thought it was pretty cool. Drools coming out of your mouth like crazy. Oh, really? Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:13 I always remembered, one thing that's always stuck with me from the tutorial was that, like, the guy, like, before you do it, you have to, like, you know, listen to his dumb spiel to be safe and stuff. But he said we have to have everything out of our pockets because one time he was, because you're on, it's like, below you is just like a giant jet. And so like, he said, you have to have everything out of your pockets because one time someone had a loose coin and it went, it fell, hit the jet, came back up at such a speed that it went through his foot.
Starting point is 00:11:42 Whoa. What? And so that's what I've always remembered. But I don't understand. Why would it have fell down and then gone up? I guess it was off maybe, and then it came up. What was it? A coin.
Starting point is 00:11:58 A coin. So is the jet blowing air towards you, or is it moving the earth down? It moves the earth down. Cool. Yeah, that's cool. I like that. You just kind of stay there.
Starting point is 00:12:08 Oh, my gosh, what if it went in your eye? Could have gone in your eye. I feel like it didn't. I feel like that didn't happen. I'm assuming it's just like a horror story. That's like one of his. He's like, wouldn't that be crazy? He just tells it to kids now.
Starting point is 00:12:19 I think he just wanted us to have empty pockets. And Cole loves his foot. It's like his favorite part of his body. Yeah, it's my favorite part of my body. So it was definitely a big threat. Yeah, yeah. And he knew that. He knew that.
Starting point is 00:12:28 My parents told him. Well, it's part of the intake form. It's his favorite part of your body. I actually heard, right before going in, I heard my dad whisper to the guy, threaten his feet. He says that to like everyone, right? He said it to me. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:42 That's pretty typical. Yeah. You did the indoor skydiving thing too, right? Yeah, we did it for a squad vlog. That was like one of our first squad vlogs ever. And yeah, my teeth are just getting dry and drools coming out the sides. Have you done actual skydiving? No.
Starting point is 00:12:55 That was the only time I've ever done anything like that. But it seems so cool. You did it, right? I did it, yeah. Is it the same? Yeah, it's the same, but it's like outside. Oh, wait. That sounds good.
Starting point is 00:13:04 Sounds better. Skydiving, but outside. That's great. Yeah. Wow, holy smokes? Yeah, it's the same, but it's like outside. Oh, that sounds good. Sounds better. Skydiving, but outside. That's great. Yeah. Wow, holy smokes. Yeah. Any interest in skydiving? I want to, yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:10 I just haven't. I don't like planes, so that's actually the scariest part for me. It's just being on this old plane. Because you said, because I saw in one of the podcasts about outsides, you said you were hypnotized. Oh, you are a listener. Oh, I love that. Thank you, Ian.
Starting point is 00:13:23 You know, I try to do my research. I got hypnotized, yeah, by a hypnotherapist to get rid of my fear of flying, and it worked. What? That's wild. It's crazy. Yeah, it straight up worked. I did it like two years ago. And it was just one session?
Starting point is 00:13:36 One session. It was like a three-hour session. And then she makes you an audio tape that you then listen to. She says every night for like a few months, so I listen to it every night and then I don't listen to it anymore. But when I get on a plane, I will listen to it. And I'm just not straight up, not afraid of it anymore.
Starting point is 00:13:51 But doesn't, doesn't the fact that, you know, you're hypnotized about it. Like, no, she actually says that she says in like the first few months, don't talk about being hypnotized.
Starting point is 00:14:00 Don't tell your friends. Don't really think about it. Like at first, cause you kind of have to let it set in, but now that it's been a while and it just totally worked i don't i think it's okay yeah i feel like i can't i don't think i can be hypnotized i don't know i feel like i'm just too neurotic well that's i think you're too smart for that shit like my brain i'm just like too self-aware my brain's too it's evolved well it's true i'm like not into like astrology or any of these kind of i don't know like I'm not into that world very much.
Starting point is 00:14:25 And I feel like hypnotism is a little different. Like she explained it to me very thoroughly in terms of scientific terms. Yeah. It's basically just like your brain has this like fear thing that was designed to like make us afraid of, you know, lions or whatever sort of threats passed, you know, thousands of years ago. But then now, or even millions of years ago, but then now that same fear complex is being ascribed to things that it shouldn't be like a plane isn't i mean it is weird obviously but statistically it's not unsafe but i've created this relationship in my brain between that fear drive and an airplane and she's basically just decoupling that relationship so that they're no longer connected
Starting point is 00:14:58 wow that's awesome yeah so she's very scientific about it and so it actually like i don't know i'm i was very skeptical and it totally worked. Would that work for something like fear of commitment? Yes, it works for everything, honestly. Like, if you have, like, body image issues, you're trying to quit smoking, like, anything. It's really crazy. So she can make me hot? Yeah, she will make you hot.
Starting point is 00:15:17 Or at least believe that you're hot, which is kind of nice. Oh, wait, it's like that one movie, right? Yeah, Shallow House. Yeah, Shallow House. You know what you should do, Cole? You should ask a girl out. She'll say no, and then you say, go to this hypnotist. And she'll convince her that you're hot.
Starting point is 00:15:28 Yeah. Just convince the girl that Cole's hot. Yeah. It's a good idea. It's good. Or just convince me that she said yes. Yeah. Or you should, like, I don't know, pitch a TV show or something and get it picked up.
Starting point is 00:15:39 And then the first episode, you do a bait and switch, and it's actually just the hypnotist convincing the world that you're hot. Oh, my gosh. It's a good idea.ist convincing the world that you're hot. Oh my gosh. It's a good idea. Genius. I like that. Sometimes he gives. Yeah. And he takes,
Starting point is 00:15:49 but sometimes he gives. But anyway, the hypnotism worked if you guys want her name, I can give it to you. Oh yeah, what would you get hypnotized for Ian?
Starting point is 00:15:55 I don't, yeah, because like flying, I'm like, I'm okay on, except for like when the turbulence hits. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:15:59 what's your fear? I mean, oh, well I don't like, I'm weird about like deep water stuff. Like deep open water where I can't see the bottom or I see something below me, but I can't see what it is clearly. Yeah, I'm not about that life.
Starting point is 00:16:16 I forget what they call it. There's, you know, one of those, like, BuzzFeed lists where they're like, if this makes you feel weird, you have this fear. Yeah, they had all these photos of, like, whales, like, deep underwater, like, where you can't, like, if this makes you feel weird, you have this fear. Yeah, they had all these photos of whales deep underwater where you can't quite see them. And it kind of made me go like, ugh. Or oil rigs. They have these stands that go deep into the water to see them disappear. And that makes me feel icky. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:16:41 It's thalassophobia. Thalassophobia. Thalassophobia. I want to figure out what the phobia term is for my fear, which is, I have this actual fear that my belly button is going to be reopened.
Starting point is 00:16:53 Like something's going to open it up, and I'm just so terrified that it will be reopened. Do you think the hypnotist can cure that? Yeah, can you help me? She might just say you're a freak and tell you to walk away. She just laughs. She'd take your money.
Starting point is 00:17:08 She sends you a recording of her just laughing at you. It's like, you're dumb. Courtney, that is called omphalophobia. What? Omphalophobia? Omphalophobia? I have that. That's your new identity.
Starting point is 00:17:25 I didn't know that there was a phobia for it. Discover the exciting action of BetMGM Casino.

It's called Unbreakable, U-M, breakable. And it's like, it's an umbilical cord that you reattach to your mother. Okay. Unbreakable. Yeah, it's like the bond that was never meant to be broken. That's nice.
Starting point is 00:18:45 Yeah. And do you do that all the time or just like when you go home for a week? Oh, I haven't made it yet. Unbreakable Yeah It's like the bond That was never meant To be broken That's nice Yeah And do you do that All the time Or just like When you go home For a week Oh I haven't made it yet I need a prototype
Starting point is 00:18:50 But I think it would be smart To just But is it temporary Like what I'm saying Is you go home Visit your mom No it's permanent Okay
Starting point is 00:18:55 Does it actually do anything Yeah It reattaches you To your mother Are fluids connected though That's what I'm asking Yeah exactly Like if she gets drunk
Starting point is 00:19:04 Yeah if mommy eats she gets drunk? Yeah, if mommy eats or gets drunk, do you get a little drunk? You get little tips. Okay. Yeah. Does it come with custom clothes? No. So it's just nude?
Starting point is 00:19:21 Well, this was in part to push my clothing brand, which is just a line of shirts with a hole in the center. Or it'd be cool if it's two shirts that are connected with cloth in the middle. Like you buy the two shirts together. So it's a little mommy, sunny kind of setup. I hate to tell you, it wouldn't be a shirt for the mother. It'd be pants,
Starting point is 00:19:34 right? I mean, cause it's got to come from the, Oh yeah. We don't connect to the belly button. It goes up in her womb. I didn't think about that. Do we all need to go back to sixth grade sex ed? Did you think about that? I did. think about that. Do we all need to go back to sixth grade sex ed? Did you think about that?
Starting point is 00:19:45 I did. Oh, my God. It's funny that we both just assumed that it would be belly button to belly button. Nope. No. Sorry. It goes into her butt. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:54 Yep. Into the butt. No. That's funny. I like this. Your idea is a little more sexual now, though, in a way that I'm not sure. Yeah, it's a little strange. No, it's pure.
Starting point is 00:20:06 Okay. And is there an age limit to this? No. Or your mom could be like 70. You could be 40. She could be, you know, 41. I don't know. Okay, so she's one year older than you?
Starting point is 00:20:17 Yeah. Can you do it with people that are not your mom? Sure. Ooh. I mean, it's not recommended. Why? It's just, that's weird. That recommended why? that's weird that's weird?
Starting point is 00:20:27 he's right I know there are people who have like baby fetish like they want to be treated like a baby Cole you might have just given them like a really good idea that's going to blow up in that world yeah I went to school with somebody that was they became a man baby they still do it now?
Starting point is 00:20:41 well I don't know about not man baby they became yeah they went and they became a baby. They were on that documentary, right? Yeah, they're on a show. They're on Strange Addiction or something? I don't want to like out them too much, but yeah. Well, it's just someone new. They're on TV.
Starting point is 00:20:54 I mean, come on. They're on TV. They're out. Yeah, I went to high school with them. And then, yeah, they were on this show where they were a baby. They liked having the diaper and stuff, right? Yeah, they also had a show where they were a baby. They liked having the diaper and stuff, right? Yeah, they also had a website, too. Nice.
Starting point is 00:21:07 Yeah. And that website, it does what? Baby stuff. No, I don't like that. I mean, it's not my thing, but for the people out there that like it, do your thing. Yeah, check out Squarespace. You can easily design your own. Do they have a romantic partner?
Starting point is 00:21:25 I would, I mean... I think in the documentary he did. I don't know. Because I just feel like that's such a, I mean, how are you going to find someone to match with? I mean, it's got to be very specific. The internet's a wide, wonderful place. Yeah, I guess so. I think he had someone come in and change his diaper in that doc.
Starting point is 00:21:41 I remember that episode. Was it dirty? Was the diaper dirty? I think it was wet. That's probably for the website only content. They probably have a Patreon. I mean, honestly, Patreon would be the way to go. If you're trying to get into man-baby content, Patreon.
Starting point is 00:21:59 Your whole Patreon is just like, I am baby. It's really poorly written. It's a really poorly put together site. Yeah. You can buy his baby bathwater. Oh, no. It's just baby diapers. See, now you're just giving them an idea.
Starting point is 00:22:14 The whole bathwater thing, I bought so much of that, and I'm not even convinced that it was her bathwater. It's like I just have these bottles of water now, and I feel like I got so ripped off. Well, I heard somebody DNA tested the bathwater. Really? And they're like, well, technically off. Well, I heard somebody DNA testing the bath water. Really? And they're like, well,
Starting point is 00:22:26 technically, it should have some of their DNA in it because if you take a bath, like, you know, your skin, whatever.
Starting point is 00:22:33 No, I didn't taste any. Yeah, because he's been drinking it and my house comes over. Well, they claim that there was zero DNA in it.
Starting point is 00:22:40 Wow. So, she might be liable for like a class action lawsuit or something. I love that. I don't know. If I were to sell my bathwater,
Starting point is 00:22:48 it wouldn't be actually my DNA because I just don't need to be cloned right now, but I would definitely put in some stuff, like a couple drops of rose or something. Oh, yeah. So it smells like something, so they're like, oh, this isn't just regular water. I would rent a pig and put it in the bath.
Starting point is 00:23:05 So like if they DNA test it, they're like, it came back pig. There's just like this mythology around you. Yeah. And then you sue them for like slander. Yeah. Yeah. How dare you? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:16 Wow. Fat shaming. So Cole, I mean, it's kind of funny. We haven't mentioned this yet, but Cole, you used to write for us. Oh, that's right. That is how we know you. Or yet but Cole you used to write for us oh that's right that is how we know you or at least how you two know each other yeah how did that happen?
Starting point is 00:23:31 I think that happened through because I knew Anthony and Mielle a little bit and I think you guys were looking for a writer and I think Anthony pitched you guys to me yeah because you came from the Vine world, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:47 And then I came in, had a little, I don't know, I guess it was a test. I didn't know it then, but it was a test. It's always a test. Was it a writing test or was it a spelling test? I think it was sort of just a chemistry vibe, maybe. I'm not sure. Either that or just maybe a writing style. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:24:07 Do you pass the chemistry vibe? I guess so. Yeah, I think immediately after getting hired, they regretted it for a brief time. Wasn't one of the tests like we did a read-through with one of your scripts or something? Yeah, I think so. Well, it was just a pitch meeting. I just pitched a bunch of ideas. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah. That was pretty much my process, I think so. Well, it was just a pitch meeting. I just pitched a bunch of ideas. okay,
Starting point is 00:24:26 yeah, yeah. That was pretty much my process too. Yeah. Just pitching ideas. Yeah. I mean,
Starting point is 00:24:31 you wrote with us for, I mean, probably like a year and a half. A year and a few months. Yeah. That's a pretty long time.
Starting point is 00:24:39 It was. I love seeing my world collide when that became a thing because that's, I met you from Vine, hung out with you a few times. Miel and I used to be like really close friends, like just grow apart. That was wild.
Starting point is 00:24:57 So you guys knew each other before he came on to Smosh? Yeah. Yeah. Like a few years, like 2013, no, 14? Yeah, probably 2014, yeah. Yeah, you, like, we texted briefly. Oh! Wow. We did?
Starting point is 00:25:09 Yeah, it was very brief. Who was first? Who slid in? I don't know. Well, because we probably were Vine messaging first. Probably, yeah. That's usually how it went, when Vine nerds were first like, yo, you're dope, yo, you're dope, and then conversation.
Starting point is 00:25:21 But with us, it was strictly hate mail. Oh, okay. It was like, please yeah okay please quit yeah you slid in the dms with the hate yeah yeah i was like you're a yugi ho yeah i called her a ho come on yeah yeah do you do you miss vine at all yeah i miss it but i mean i have it again yeah you're on tiktok now oh yeah yeah right your stuff's funny um but no it's very different but yeah i mean i was i was running you know three years straight of one-liners you can only do so much right i was i was my tank was empty pretty much by the time it died i mean i think yeah that sounds about right i mean with
Starting point is 00:25:58 i feel like you know people figured out the format and then obviously some people exploited the format i mean but that's what always happens so okay so you guys knew each other for a couple years then yeah like we didn't like hang out a whole lot like we would see each other like parties and stuff because i also didn't live here yeah yeah you were east coast yeah i was in chicago but right when i moved here i pretty much got the job within the first few months of being here. So good. Wow. White privilege.
Starting point is 00:26:28 Vine privilege, probably. I was not good at first. At writing? Ryan's laughing. Ryan is the head writer. He is my boss. I don't know. He gave me so many second chances. I was not good. What were you messing up on? Yes, you were. I was just know. He gave me so many second chances. I was not good. What were you messing
Starting point is 00:26:45 up on? Yes, you were. I was, no, I was just, I, well, I wasn't, there's just like, there's just like, I'd check out real hard. Like in meetings? Yeah. Well, I just, I would, I realized what it was anxiety. I just get so overwhelmed about wanting to do good that I would like be in my head. I'm like, pay attention, pay attention. And then I wouldn't pay attention. And then I just get caught up in this loop of like. I mean, you do that on our podcast a lot. Yeah. I totally get that. I check out for, you know, hours at a time. Our podcast is only an hour long.
Starting point is 00:27:10 Totally an hour. Sometimes I say nothing. Yeah. So I don't know why I was given so many second chances. I think it's probably because you're funny. Yeah, dude. That's the kind of thing like... Or the white privilege thing, maybe.
Starting point is 00:27:21 Yeah. Could be that. But I don't know. If you're not productive in a work setting, then you shouldn't be working. But I don't know. I did get a lot better towards the end. I got more comfortable. We made your first sketch.
Starting point is 00:27:35 The sketch you came in and pitched us was shot like in a month or something. Which one was it? What sketch was it? It was the one where it was so funny. It was the fall asleep one. And then this whole life happens. Oh, the prank one. Oh.
Starting point is 00:27:47 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it was a sketch where Anthony was sleeping. Sleeping. And then. Oh, yeah. It's like, oh, my roommate's sleeping.
Starting point is 00:28:01 I'm going to prank him. And then you do a bunch of stuff and put him in a bunch of like you like you secretly like make him get a job and then get married and then have kids and then like his whole life then he's old
Starting point is 00:28:11 and then like he wakes up like on his deathbed and you're still young right? I think he wins like two purple hearts in the war
Starting point is 00:28:17 or something like that yeah he goes to war I love that the video bombed oh really? I don't think it did well all of our favorites do I feel like yeah that tends to be thebed. Oh, really? I don't think it did well. All of our favorites do, I feel like.
Starting point is 00:28:26 Yeah, that tends to be the case. Whenever we really like a sketch, it never does well. So we always call them, it's a one for us kind of thing. I tell girls with anything, though. Everyone hates our podcast, but we love it. I know. My mom likes it. Yeah, that's good.
Starting point is 00:28:41 Have you guys ever had guests or like or anything happen where it's like this is too much like we have to cut it? Yeah, I mean, no, not cut. There's a couple things where it just gets like political in a way
Starting point is 00:28:51 where we're kind of just like, I don't know, talking about Mexicans and stuff and we're just like, well, let me just cut this part.
Starting point is 00:28:58 Not even in a bad way but just kind of like we don't want to go down this road. Sometimes we just can't stop ourselves. Yeah, I know, but we just,
Starting point is 00:29:04 exactly, we just kind of have opinions. Do you want to say it? No, some of the, we don't want to go down this road. Sometimes we just can't stop ourselves. Yeah, I know. But we just kind of have opinions. Do you want to say it? No, it's usually older white men who bring up... It just always comes up? It just has happened a few times where it's like slightly Trumpy, but in a way that's just kind of like, I don't want to open this can of worms. Not that we're trying to stifle people's opinions, but like, you know, talking about Mexicans' work ethic and stuff, and we're
Starting point is 00:29:25 just like, we don't want to go down this road. Wow. Not even in a bad way. He was actually complimenting the Mexican community, but it just was icky. I get that. And is it just out of the blue? You're like, what's this podcast about? You can talk about anything. He's like, great. Well, anyway, on to
Starting point is 00:29:41 Mexicans. Pretty much. He probably thought it was a safe space. He's like us whites can talk about this no this this dude was hard to wrangle but we eventually got him yeah but for the most part i mean yeah people like the most interesting thing about it to us is it's like you talk to someone for like 60 seconds and you kind of get a vibe like you get their vibe you know like you get their essence and that's just kind of fun to just like i don know, like figure out what someone's personality is in a really short amount of time. Didn't like two guys threaten to like sue you guys or something?
Starting point is 00:30:12 Or was that a joke? Oh, I mean, I feel like they will. There was these two frat bros. Love that. And it was what, like 3 p.m. on a Monday? And they were like wasted. They were wasted. And was that downtown? Yeah. It was downtown in the jewelry district. And they were like wasted. They were wasted. And was that downtown?
Starting point is 00:30:25 It was downtown in the jewelry district. And they were like catcalling every, like every single girl that walked by. He would just go, look at her butt. Oh, yeah, yeah. It was crazy. And so we just,
Starting point is 00:30:34 we couldn't get them to leave. We had to turn off their mics. Is that all in it, in the episode? Yeah, yeah. It's all in there. Oh my God. And they ran after the camera
Starting point is 00:30:41 like dancing and stuff. They were harassing our cameraman. We're like, just don't pay attention to him. Like, just talk to us. That's the only time that something like that has happened. For the most part, people are very chill and responsible and nice. I think that's awesome though that like you guys get to show that side of the world. Totally.
Starting point is 00:30:56 And it's just all just happening and not like planned. Yeah. I mean, we've had some really crazy stuff happen and it's totally not planned. I need to watch. Yeah. Check out the clips. Go to Instagram or Twitter. There's, like, one-minute clips.
Starting point is 00:31:07 It's an easy way to see some best clips. Or just, no, you should watch the whole episode. Okay, watch every episode. Yeah, no, I definitely want to watch the whole episode. I actually saw the one where the cop, like, was like, oh, you guys are fine. You're good. I saw that in, like, it went, did it go, like, viral for you guys? It went kind of viral.
Starting point is 00:31:21 Okay, I definitely saw it. And, like, there's, like, the Daily Dose of Internet channel. Oh, yeah, we were on that. It was in there, yeah. Oh, wait, have you, did you guys? We're kind of viral. Okay, I definitely saw it and like there's like the Daily Dose of Internet channel. Oh yeah, we were on that. It was in there, yeah. Oh wait, did you guys see the giraffe man? Did you see the viral
Starting point is 00:31:29 giraffe video of the guy spinning a giraffe in his car on Twitter at all? No. No? Okay. Well, I did this video.
Starting point is 00:31:36 I just... He filmed this guy. I filmed this video of this guy spinning a giraffe. It went viral. It got like 5 million views or something on Twitter.
Starting point is 00:31:44 Like it went really viral and then that guy reached out to me and then we interviewed him on our podcast and like got a little it was kind of fun it was like a cool little moment
Starting point is 00:31:51 we did a special like 20 minute episode and it all happened in like 48 hours from the time I posted it to it going viral to us interviewing him to the interview going live
Starting point is 00:31:58 it was like very quick and he was the first like we were the first people to interview him and like by that time like that day this was like it was the first day of him being viral. This was last week. This was last week.
Starting point is 00:32:09 He had already been recognized three times that day. What? And he's just spinning a giraffe toy? He's spinning a giraffe in his car, in his convertible. He's spinning a metal giraffe. And then he'll place the giraffe on the hood of the car at the stoplight. And then he'll drive really fast. And the giraffe will fall.
Starting point is 00:32:24 And he'll catch it in a really cool way. What? It's very weird. Just look at my Twitter. It's there. It kind of sounds like a dream when you're explaining it. But it was really bizarre because I was like on the phone with my mom and I was like, I just saw this guy spinning this metal giraffe in his Mustang convertible and I was like,
Starting point is 00:32:39 this is so weird. And I was like, Mom, I have to go. And I just followed him for like 10 minutes and filmed him from all these different angles and just cut it together into a 40 second clip. Yeah. But now I get tweeted at every day with videos of him
Starting point is 00:32:51 because he's around Hollywood doing it. And every day someone will tweet, respond to my tweet with a video of him like saw him on Melrose or whatever.
Starting point is 00:32:58 Spotted. Yeah. And you invited him on the podcast or he just like locked by? No, he DM'd me and was like,
Starting point is 00:33:04 hey, that's me. And I was like, hey, that's me. And I was like, oh, you want to do our podcast? Like it might be fun to kind of chat with you a little bit. He ended up being a very cool guy and it was a fun little, it was like a, you know, the internet is obviously can be a very toxic place, but this was like, everyone responded to this video because it was like positive and fun. It was wholesome.
Starting point is 00:33:17 Yeah, wholesome. And then we had an interview with him and he was a nice, cool guy. And then he's like, I want to talk about Mexicans. Exactly. Yeah. You never know with like people that are eccentric like that. I know. Like, oh, let's hear about it. And then you're like, oh.
Starting point is 00:33:32 He was not eccentric. He was pretty normal. He was very cool. So he just loves to spin giraffes. That's what he does. Giraffy. Yeah. You guys have had some pretty random run-ins on the show, right?
Starting point is 00:33:45 Like you, there was like a girl that you dated. Yeah. Well, a girl, yeah, a girl that I literally did, like we had gone on like a couple dates. Best nights of their life though. Best nights of their life, yeah. Both of them. Yeah. So I did an episode, we did an episode where I was blindfolded the whole time because I
Starting point is 00:34:02 wanted to experience the podcast as a listener because I had a little sight privilege. Because like yours, we're on YouTube and podcast apps. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a bit of both. Nice. Yeah. So I wanted to just, you know, I felt some sight privilege. So I wanted to blindfold myself.
Starting point is 00:34:15 So I did it all blindfolded. She came up to me. She was like, I know you. And then I was like, oh, let's play a game and have Cole guess who it is. So then she sat down and like answered some questions and Cole. And like I was like, oh, let's play a game and have Cole guess who it is. So then she sat down and answered some questions and Cole... And we hadn't dated for over a year. How did she recognize you? Because you had a giant blindfold
Starting point is 00:34:32 over your face. I had my glasses over the blindfold. So she recognized the glasses. So I guess she just knew my hair and my face. Had she been following you the whole time? No. She didn't know what the podcast was. She just saw... They had unfollowed each other on social media. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:46 Oh. That's what I was going to ask. Did the two dates, like, did it end poorly? Did you ghost her? No, no, no. We just, when we started talking, we were both out of a relationship. And then when we, and then we just went, we just went into our own different relationships after that. But you had a good time talking?
Starting point is 00:35:04 Yeah, it was fun. She was really cool. Yeah, she was she was really cool did you guys re-follow each other on social media we did yeah nice i'm even in there now following yeah oh really i'm even part of it now yeah yeah we're gonna do like a three-way type you tried to weasel his way in there yeah she followed me first and i was like you know what oh okay so um where's that going we talk a lot about dating on this podcast. Oh, really? About our dating lives. Oh, what's up with you guys?

Starting point is 00:35:38 Yeah, he's following leads. Oh, going leads. That's what we call them. Yeah, I refer to it as following leads. Cool. Following leads to eventually as following leads. Cool. Following leads to eventually slang dong. Oh, he slangs dong? That is the end goal.
Starting point is 00:35:50 Slang dong. So he slings dong and you slay dong? I slay dong. Oh, that's cool. I like that. Yes, I slay dong and you slang. Yes. Slang and dong.

Starting point is 00:36:08 Yeah, it's a suspect. Yeah, one suspect. Oh. Is it Courtney? No, but he was after my sister for a bit. Really? No, no, no. I mean, look, look.
Starting point is 00:36:15 I'm following this suspect. I'm following the lead. I know that the end game is that I will be marrying Courtney's sister. No. Oh, that's good. That's nice. But it's good to make her jealous and stuff. Oh, gosh. It's been so long since we've good. That's nice. But it's good to make her jealous and stuff.
Starting point is 00:36:28 Gosh, it's been so long since we've just had a normal podcast. So much has happened. I know, dude. Get into it. I won't get all the way into it because I feel like I got to save it for a more normal podcast. Yeah, because this is freaking weird. Are we not normal enough for you? Yeah, fuck this. We're weirdos.
Starting point is 00:36:38 I want to give you guys the proper attention that you deserve. Thank you. I'll take it. But I did try out a dating app. Oh. And on the first day Raya. Swipe right ladies. On the first
Starting point is 00:36:52 day I came across Courtney's sister's profile. Wow. You guys want to know what happened to that? What? Apparently my sister never saw him because she has a height minimum. What? Is that ridiculous or what? I'm not even that short. You don't seem short at all. How tall are you?
Starting point is 00:37:10 5'8". Oh, you are very, very short. You're not 5'8". You're 5'8". I'm 5'6". I feel like you're taller than me. I'm 5'6". We're the same height. 5'8 is taller than 5'6". No, but even more. I feel like you're 5'9". I usually wear heels. Oh, yeah. Wait, what app has more. I feel like you're like 5'9". I usually wear heels. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:27 Wait, what app has a height minimum? All of them. Really? Well, you can set a preference. There's the option, too. I'm on a dating app. I don't even think I ever put in my height. Yeah, you can go into like special preferences.
Starting point is 00:37:40 What app is this? I mean, I don't want to say this. I don't want people to... Raya. Shame the app. I tried to get into Raya, but I didn't have any recs. Really? I'll be a rec. I can get you in.
Starting point is 00:37:49 It's too late. I already... It's too late. I had it for a bit, but I was like, I can't. It's silly. I made one really funny joke on my Raya profile that I'm pretty excited about. Yeah. So on Raya, you have to choose a song.
Starting point is 00:38:01 For those that don't know, Raya is like an exclusive... They call it a dating app for celebrities, but it's truly not anymore. It's like anyone can get in. I don't understand what happened with you. Okay, that's fine. It really is like, it's all just like yoga teachers and stuff now. I think it used to be years ago. It used to be more a famous person. I'm
Starting point is 00:38:18 not famous at all and I got on, so I don't think it's like that anymore. But you have to choose a song for your profile which is like very cheesy. Yeah, it's like MySpace. Yeah, you push a button and all your pictures play in a slideshow and you have to choose a song for your profile, which is like very cheesy. Yeah, it's like MySpace. Yeah, you push a button and all your pictures play in a slideshow and you have to choose a song through Spotify. Like they make you do it. But I was thinking, I'm like, well, I couldn't think of a song because it's just like so cheesy to pick a song to profile your life or whatever. But I know that Spotify has podcasts. So when you click on my profile, it plays the Dane Cook episode of WTF with Mark Maron. What?
Starting point is 00:38:46 But it's like just the intro. So it's just Mark like talking about his cats in Highland Park. It's so funny. It just like plays through and he's just like, I don't know what the fuck's going on, man. It's so funny. Dude, I would have thought you put your own podcast on. No, I thought about that, but it's just so funny. No, I love that. Mark Maron rambling on.
Starting point is 00:39:05 Yeah. Well, dude, if I ever get on Raya, I'm still waiting for them to accept my application and I don't think it's really worth it. I haven't used it. I've never used it. Really? Yeah. Well, the song I would do is El Sonidito.
Starting point is 00:39:20 Okay. Do you think I would get copyright claim for that? Yeah, that's probably true. Wow. Guys, well, after this podcast, listen to the song called El Sonidito. Okay. It's a good time. It's a good party song. It's the theme song that we had when we were filming a lot of Smosh Summer Games stuff.
Starting point is 00:39:37 Yeah. It gets you hype. So Raya's not worth it. Good to know. Yeah, it's fine. All dating apps are fine. I didn't bother with Tinder. It's just too much of a hookup app i wouldn't yeah i just i feel that one in specific
Starting point is 00:39:49 like not to like i mean i'm sorry we we it we i don't have to worry about like that right it tinder definitely is just like set up your profile and you're on your own but i guess like there's other dating apps that help you a lot more with like figuring out what you want and what you want and what you want to do and stuff like that well i think it's like tinder's just they've just garnered this image of themselves being like a hookup it's like hot or not yeah it's like grinder for straights yes well also i mean like gay people could use Tinder as well, right? Nope. Nope. They actually say, like, are you a straight when you download Tinder? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:30 It's like, how hot does this image make you? And it shows you, like, opposite gender porn. Love that. Well, no, it makes you have sex with someone to see, to decide after. They turn the camera and they have to show you having straight sex. It's part of the thing. Instead of the, are you a robot, it's are you straight. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:40:52 Andrew and Cole, have you guys used Tinder at all? I have. I've used it, yeah. Yeah, how is it? That's how we met. That's how we met, yeah. Wait a second. I know, which is crazy because it's not for gay people.
Starting point is 00:41:03 Somehow we matched. Wow. No, it's fine. gay people. Somehow we matched. Wow. No, it's fine. I think your assessment of it is accurate. Yeah. What's your favorite dating app? I mean, I've only used Tinder and Raya. And yeah, Tinder seems to be for hooking up with people.
Starting point is 00:41:21 Raya, I've met a couple people on it and it's been fine. Yoga instructors? Yeah, actually, yeah. Nice. Hey, nice.
Starting point is 00:41:28 I've heard Bumble does like parties and stuff like around all over the place like to get people to just meet in group settings. Oh, they have like a space. I've seen their space.
Starting point is 00:41:37 Or they'll like get venues and stuff like that. It's wild. They just like message like hot people on their app like come on. Come on. And then if you show that you have the app that you get like free drinks. Oh, that's weird. I never message hot people on their app? Probably.
Starting point is 00:41:47 And then if you show that you have the app, you get free drinks. I never got one of those messages. I don't know. I got a hypnotized bumble. Nice. Good callback. What's your dating experience been, Cole? I've only done Tinder. I don't have any of them right now.
Starting point is 00:42:00 Just because I don't know. Because you don't need it. You don't need it. And I don't want to Because you don't need it. You don't need it. Because from, and I don't want to out you too much, Cole, but from what we've gathered, Cole slangs dong. Wow. Do I? Cole, like, he's very unassuming, but it's Cole slangs.
Starting point is 00:42:16 Cole's got big slang dong energy. Yeah. Wow. I wouldn't have pegged myself for that, or ever. Or ever, yeah. That's the energy. That's cool, this unassuming dong slinger. That's why a girl walks down the street,
Starting point is 00:42:30 sees half your face, and knows exactly who you are. Because she remembers. She remembers. I don't want to ask too private. I was going to say, did you guys kiss? Me and the girl? No, we didn't. It was literally the most platonic date.
Starting point is 00:42:42 You guys got ice cream, right? Yeah, we got fro-yo. Oh. Yeah platonic. You guys got ice cream, right? We got fro-yo. Oh. Yeah. Like not even real ice cream. Yeah. Wow. You really sent a message there.
Starting point is 00:42:52 Do you want to get some like kid ice cream? Yeah. That's fro-yo. Yeah, that's fro-yo. What did she get on her fro-yo? Did she put gummy bears on her fro-yo? I don't know. Maybe gummy worms.
Starting point is 00:43:03 Yo, gummies are so good on ice cream or fro-yo because they get like hard. Yeah, it's kind of nice. Yeah. I'm hard for hard gummies, dude. All right. A lot of different textures there. I'm not in for gummies on ice cream. It's just the texture just doesn't match up.
Starting point is 00:43:19 What do you get on your fro-yo? Oh, I usually stick with like chocolatey things. Sprinkles, brownies, fudge, that kind of stuff. Nothing like fruit? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, I usually stick with like chocolatey things. Sprinkles, brownies, fudge, that kind of stuff. Nothing like fruit? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Sometimes I'll do like the strawberry situation. Kiwi, maybe? Ooh.
Starting point is 00:43:35 I feel like they have that at some places. Dude. The little tang in there. I've seen it. It makes sense. Yeah. I've done like, I love doing on Troyeo. That was pronounced Kai-wai.
Starting point is 00:43:41 No. Kai-wai. It's not. I've only seen it written, I guess. They did cheesecake bits on some of those. Yeah. And do that on like some raspberries. Guys, we should get some Froyo after this.
Starting point is 00:43:52 Okay. Sorry if we made all the listeners and viewers hungry. So one of our writers, Monica, she got to know you pretty well, Cole. Yeah. She said for me to try to get you to laugh about something. I don't know if I'll be able to, but she says you're the most fun person to watch laugh because you get really giggly. Oh yeah. I feel like I've only seen that once. Really giggly and you turn red. Oh, when I laugh? Yeah. Maybe I do. So I don't know what we can do. Have you seen this, Andrew?
Starting point is 00:44:23 I've seen him giggle and stuff. I don't know about the can do. Have you seen this, Andrew? I've seen him giggle and stuff. I don't know about the turning red thing. I remember a specific time where I turned red and it like ruined everything. Yes. What? It smashed. Are you referring to when we had the... The prank?
Starting point is 00:44:35 Yeah. Wait, yeah. I don't know this story actually. Okay. Go ahead and explain it, Cole. Well, I, uh, who was it? We, it was, it was me and Monica and I think you or someone else. I think Ryan might have been involved. Yeah, it was me and Monica, and I think you, or someone else. I think Ryan might have been involved.
Starting point is 00:44:48 Yeah, it was me, Monica, and Ryan. There's this guy named Chris, right? Yeah, we can bleep out his last name or whatever. There's a guy named Chris who worked in the office, and we worked, in the writer's room, there was this big window so we could see outside. I guess that's how windows work. And we saw him just walking to and from lunch.
Starting point is 00:45:11 And for some reason, we decided to take a bunch of pictures of him as he was doing it. And then we were like, let's escalate this. Let's heighten this. So we printed out each of the photos. And they're all from different days. They're all from different days. They're all from different days. Yeah. And like it looked kind of incriminating, but for no real reason.
Starting point is 00:45:31 So we decided to print them all out in like, you know, full size pages. And then we put them into a manila envelope. And then we put it on his desk when he was gone for lunch. Oh my God. And then he came back. And I was he was gone for lunch. Oh, my God. And then he came back. And I was, so, like, I hid somewhere. I forget who. It was either me or Monica who hid somewhere and filmed him as he came back to his desk.
Starting point is 00:45:52 I forget what we wrote on it. Do you remember what we wrote on it? Did you just put, like, the address of the office on it to make it look like? Yeah, like it was sent to the office. We tried to make it look creepy and also it was really funny. Yeah, it was very creepy. It looked very incriminating. Because all the shots of him were like we've been stalking.
Starting point is 00:46:10 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Different outfits, yeah. So there's a video of him like opening this envelope and just super confused. And then, I don't know, I guess he, I don't know what he thought, but he didn't know who it was, obviously. I think he knew it was someone in the office because it was coming from the office building. He had to check the angles. He had to check the angles.
Starting point is 00:46:35 He was like walking around the building, like looking, like, where can you see me? Did he know he was being filmed for this video doing all that stuff? No. Wow. We like hid behind him. So for like, well, it was like a couple of days, right? Where he, he, he put up the photos on his desk. No. We hid behind him. It was like a couple days, right? Where he put up the photos on his desk. He displayed them.
Starting point is 00:46:50 He put them on his thing. He was doing a hardcore investigation and he started asking suspects, right? He started asking suspects and I just thought it was so funny so I put it on my Instagram story. I documented the whole thing and that was the fault because somehow another employee, I think, tipped him off that it was me.
Starting point is 00:47:09 And then I deleted it before he had a chance to see it. But then he came in and started interviewing us. He was, like, trying to get to the bottom. You're in the middle of a meeting. You're in the middle of a meeting. And he grilled all of us. All of us held up. Was he upset?
Starting point is 00:47:23 No, no. He's a comedian, so he gets it. But he was asking every single person. Everybody was doing a great job at hiding the secret, except for Cole. Really? I kept laughing. I turned bright red.
Starting point is 00:47:40 He started talking to me about my Instagram. I was trying to play dumb. I Instagram and I was like I was trying to play dumb I forget what I said it was something really ah I forgot yeah I folded real quick and then you just giggled yeah oh that's but it was how long did it last it lasted like like what like four days maybe yeah it lasted a while we got him got him good. And I think he kept those photos up there until the collapse of Defy. Yeah, they were there until the end. Andrew, you weren't doing this podcast like a year or so or maybe two years ago, were you, by yourself? The podcast by outside?
Starting point is 00:48:16 Yeah. No, no, it was Cole's idea. Okay. All right. Because, yeah, because I saw, I was just running through Griffith Park one day. I want to say it was like a year or two ago. And there was a guy on a table, like doing a podcast outside. Uh-oh.
Starting point is 00:48:30 Uh-oh. I don't, well, I mean, clearly it didn't work. It could have been a radio show. Clearly it didn't work out. I didn't talk to him. Don't worry. It's all right. I was just very confused.
Starting point is 00:48:38 We do get a lot of messages, by the way, of people who are like, we love your show. I love your show. I'm going to do it too. And we're like, please don't. Oh, yeah. No. It's so weird. We get so many messages. And we're just like, in one episode we love your show. I love your show. I'm going to do it too. And we're like, please don't. It's so weird. We get so many messages and we're just like, on one episode we just said it. We're just like, hey, we appreciate you guys liking the show,
Starting point is 00:48:52 but we're trying to build this into a thing. Please don't copy it. I don't know. I don't know. It's so weird, actually, that people would want to like, yeah, it's just strange. People can't really copy our show because we just talk. It's just a basic
Starting point is 00:49:05 podcast we're copying every podcast yeah exactly yeah i feel like your podcast probably just makes people want to talk to people they don't know yeah it's fun i get it i understand it is like it has a hook and you know and i've been doing comedy for like 10 years and i never started a podcast because i was i was always like well i don't know what i i want it to be unique i want to just like i don't know i just feel I want it to be unique. I want to just like, I don't know. I just feel like the market's saturated
Starting point is 00:49:27 with people talking to people. This is fun, but you know, I just was kind of like, I don't know. I don't have an interest in that. And then Cole had this idea and then I was like,
Starting point is 00:49:33 oh, that's like unique and it has its own angle. I think I pitched it here. Maybe. Oh, right. Actually. Really? I think so.
Starting point is 00:49:38 I don't know. I think you were looking for like other things to do. I'm not pretty sure. I pitched it to definitely companies. I'm not sure if I pitched it to Smosh, but they're all too dumb. Yeah. Well, I got a lot of stuff do. I'm not pretty sure. I pitch it to definitely companies. I'm not sure if I pitch it to Smosh, but they're all too dumb. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:47 Well, I got a lot of stuff done. I actually, I actually, because I knew I'd be on here, I brought a joke that didn't get, didn't make the cut. Didn't make the cut.
Starting point is 00:49:55 In a sketch? In a sketch, yeah. Oh my God, yes. It's just like a three line joke. Love it. But I did bring it and I wanted to. Do you need like people to read it?
Starting point is 00:50:02 I found it. I was cleaning out my computer like a few weeks ago and I found like it and I wanted to... Do you need people to read it? I was cleaning out my computer a few weeks ago and I found screenshots that I took. And it was one of these. Here, I can't find it. I actually applied to be a writer on Smosh years and years ago. Really?
Starting point is 00:50:16 How many years? Honestly, five or six years ago. I just moved to LA and my friend Brent, who knows you guys, he was like, oh, there's a writing position. I'm just curious if there's anything on my end too. Now I'm not sure if this is a bit. No, I'm serious. I'm serious.
Starting point is 00:50:33 I don't know if I can even find it. So I have it. I'm assuming this was from if internet trends in real life or something like that. Or if internet trends were real. Oh yeah, we did that. Memes in real life? No. I. Okay. If internet trends were real. Oh, yeah. We did that. Memes in real life?
Starting point is 00:50:46 No. I think we did some. I don't know. Yeah. Oh, I'm in this. Oh, it's me and Ian. Oh, and Shane. It's you and Ian and Shane.
Starting point is 00:50:52 I kind of want Ian to read Shane. Cole has a screenshot from a script he wrote, and so now we're passing it around so that we can all- Cold read it. Cold read it together. Don't read it. I'm not reading it. Don't read it.
Starting point is 00:51:04 You're looking at it. I'm not reading it. Okay. So this. You're looking at it. I'm not reading it. Okay. So this is a rejected Smosh sketch that you had written. Yes. A rejected joke. I'm assuming it's internet trends in real life. Okay.
Starting point is 00:51:13 That's what it was. Are you going to read stage directions? Yeah, so interior doctor's office day. A couple, Clarissa, Courtney, and Ryan, Ian, are talking to the doctor, and I'll be the doctor. Yeah, we have no idea how we got pregnant. Did you use a condom? Yep, used it correctly in everything. Filled it with water, dropped it on her head, then came in her pussy.
Starting point is 00:51:33 Yo! That didn't make the cut. I remember that joke. That's so funny and it's probably just because of the P word. Yeah, because we can't unmute. Then change it to something else. Coochie.
Starting point is 00:51:51 But I guarantee we laughed really fucking hard. That's incredible. Well, we did get away with calling Laser Corn Lazy Cum in Smosh Summer Games. Wow. Who knows? That's a good joke, Cole. I'm sorry. It's okay. Was it for a video that did come out, but that joke didn't make it's a good joke, Cole. I'm sorry. It's okay.
Starting point is 00:52:05 Was it for a video that did come out but that joke didn't make it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then you had the foresight to screen cap it and say, I'm going to...
Starting point is 00:52:12 Yeah, I liked it. As I was reading it, I was like, oh, god damn it. Did you find your... I did find it but I don't know how entertaining it'll be
Starting point is 00:52:19 but I'll just... Is that like your one page on the front? But the response from Ryan said, awesome, thanks. We'll check these out ASAP. 2014.
Starting point is 00:52:26 Oh, no. For all... Holy crap. I don't know. And I guarantee I read them. I know. I know. I'm not mad at all.
Starting point is 00:52:35 I mean, I applied to lots of jobs. I get it. It actually sounds like an email I'd send. Yeah, no, I believe it. ASAP. That's not an email. That's so funny. Five years later.
Starting point is 00:52:42 Five years ago. Yeah, that's funny, yeah. I mean, that would have been like around, around the time that, like, Squad was coming on. Yeah, I mean, I've been on for four years and, like, a couple months. Man, if things could have been so different, I could have been pranked by Cole in the office. Yeah, man. Everything worked out, but it's funny. It's crazy that we both got hired onto Smosh through people we met from Vine.
Starting point is 00:53:05 Yeah. That's how I've gotten all my jobs pretty much. I just missed the boat on Vine. I think I was just a little too old. For whatever reason, I just didn't get on it. What was your main creative outlet? I've been doing stand-up for 10 years. I think that's also part of it.
Starting point is 00:53:22 People in the stand-up world aren't as good at the internet. They're different worlds for whatever reason. Do you feel like a lot of people in the stand-up world aren't as good at the internet. And it's just like they're different worlds for whatever reason. Do you feel like a lot of people in the stand-up world kind of look down on things like Vine? I think at the time, maybe so. Yeah. But then Chris D'Elia hopped on. But there's also plenty of stand-up people who are good at it. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:53:39 There's a bit of both, I guess. How's the stand-up life? It's good. It's fun. I mean, it's definitely like all entertainment stuff. It's very difficult to, I don't know, just like there's so many things out of your control in the entertainment world. It's good. Yeah, it's fun. I mean, it's definitely, you know, like all entertainment stuff, it's very difficult to, I don't know, just like, there's so many things out of your control in the entertainment world. Oh, yeah. That's why stuff like what you guys are doing and kind of what we're doing,
Starting point is 00:53:51 that's why that stuff is so cool, because you can just, you know, you just started this with your friend however long ago. It's like, you just kind of wanted to take control and do this thing, and there's no, you know, like, there's no, like, gatekeepers or people telling you you can't. And I think that's what's awesome about the internet and stuff like this is it really gives people a voice where no one can say no to them, really.
Starting point is 00:54:11 Because even with stand-up comedy, you're doing it yourself, but it is very clicky and there are gatekeepers of people keeping you out. Totally. The actual act of doing stand-up I like and I feel like I'm good at, and I feel good about that. But, like, you know, getting a late-night set or, like, getting on TV, it's just, like, those aspects are so out of your control that it can be very frustrating. But even, like, the person running the comedy club has to like you, right? Yeah, there's so many. I mean, there's just so many steps and stuff. But it's going well, and I'm doing well, and it's fun. That's awesome. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:39 And, obviously, like, podcasts but outside has to be, like, helping you guys. Totally, yeah. Every time I, like, go on the road now, like, a lot of fans come out from the podcast. Oh, nice. And it's kind of cool. Yeah, it's exciting. Yeah. Sweet.
Starting point is 00:54:49 I mean, that's got to be helping you quite a bit because, like, you're going around the sort of, like, typical mainstream avenues to build your stand-up career. Yeah, a little bit. And we also want to go on our tour with our podcast, too. Like, we have visions of doing a live version of the show and then doing other episodes in the city. So that's definitely a thing for the near future. Podcast, but outside, but inside. Exactly. Okay, because I was going to say,
Starting point is 00:55:10 I was thinking you guys sell tickets to a show, but the show is outside on a sidewalk, and you have an audience of 200 on the street just watching you as people walking by. We have thought about that, but we ultimately do have a way that we are going to do it. Maybe we shouldn't say here. You don't need to say here.
Starting point is 00:55:28 Yeah, you don't need to. I kind of want to keep it a surprise. Okay, but it'll be cool. We have a workaround that will make a very cool way to do our show. Yeah, in cities.
Starting point is 00:55:34 Are you going to have like a backdrop of the sky? I can't say. Okay. Well, there you can have that idea. We'll take that. We'll take that.
Starting point is 00:55:41 Oh, I know what they're going to do. They're going to have avatars of themselves. Yeah, we are going to do avatar style. Oh, I know what they're going to do. They're going to have avatars of themselves. Yeah, we are going to do avatar style. And then we are going to be connected to
Starting point is 00:55:48 our mom via her pussy. Yeah. It's going to be great. Are we allowed to say any of that on this podcast? Podcast? We can say everything on the podcast.
Starting point is 00:55:57 Even if it's on YouTube? But not on YouTube. It'll be beeped. Just that word. I hear you. It's just, it's so. Yeah. It's icky. When you're saying it in a normal is just it's so when you're saying it in a normal conversation, it's very icky.
Starting point is 00:56:09 When you're referring to the actual body part, I feel like it's weirder when you're referring to the actual body part. Can you imagine if a doctor said that? Oh my god. He's like, so we're just gonna, you know, use the what are the speculum? He's like, I don't even want to say it.
Starting point is 00:56:25 It's too gross. That's called the coochie wrench. Oh, the coochie wrench, right. You're going to put the coochie wrench in your... I don't want to say it. See, yeah, it's gross. It's too gross to say
Starting point is 00:56:34 and it's a casual conversation. It's just, I feel like that with every curse word or dirty word, it feels wrong until you like... You're in the heat of the moment.
Starting point is 00:56:43 Right. Heat of the moment or like you say it enough that it doesn't feel weird to say it anymore. There's changes in context, you know, all that stuff. It's an acquired word. A friend of mine,
Starting point is 00:56:51 Whitmer Thomas, he's a standup comedian. He has a joke where he's like, he just says, he says, my therapist refers to sex as fucking and it's shocking every time. It's just like the context is weird. It's like,
Starting point is 00:57:02 so have you been doing any fucking lately? Yeah, that is strange. It's weird. Yeah. I been doing any fucking lately? Yeah, that is strange. It's weird. Yeah, I would feel weird about that. Yeah, it's weird. I'd be like, I'm sorry. We just need to pause this therapy for a moment.
Starting point is 00:57:12 What did you just call it? Yeah, yeah. What's up? What's up? Oh, no. What's up? What's up, guys? Do you do stand-up calls?
Starting point is 00:57:21 I do stage stuff. Actually, Monica and Shane both helped me audio record a bit that I do. Not character stuff. It's more like one-man sketches. Like your CVS mascot you've been trying to pump out there. Right. Fuck ass? That's the best thing.
Starting point is 00:57:39 Can you explain this mascot? The CVS mascot you've been trying to pitch CVS? And you're pitching it inside a CVS. It's in a Walgreens. You're in a Walgreens? It's for Walgreens. Fuck ass.
Starting point is 00:57:53 He's a purple monster man who dresses in teen clothes and rides around on a longboard and tries to give all the customers hickeys. He's basically just like a cool guy. I think he would make Walgreens a little more hip, a little more like. Edgy. Just edgy.
Starting point is 00:58:10 Yeah, it's like how Colonel Sanders hosted, was it EDC? Did he do a set? Yeah, dude, he did a full on set at, I think it was EDC. Wait, who did? Colonel Sanders. KFC boy. Oh wait, what's the one in Miami? It's not EDC.
Starting point is 00:58:26 It's... Art Basel? No. No, it's... Oh, man, there's so many ravers are going to be pissed off at us for not knowing this. Sorry, Raven fans.
Starting point is 00:58:37 Anyway, he did one of the biggest EDM concerts, and they did a Colonel Sanders set. They had a giant Colonel Sanders head on a guy like Marshmello or something and he's like I'm Colonel Sanders
Starting point is 00:58:51 I am everywhere and he did a full like music set who was it? kind of makes me want KFC like some DJ right? it had to be
Starting point is 00:59:02 like some like a couple tiers below Marshmello kind of guy yeah I mean like we don't even know if a couple tiers below Marshmello kind of guy. I mean, we don't even know if it's the real Marshmello playing music. That's true.
Starting point is 00:59:14 I've heard on appearances and stuff, it's not actually him. I think they did kind of a spoof of that on The Good Place. Oh, really? A little bit. Or I don't know, something like that. Marshmello is an idea. Exactly. Yeah, because I know he did like a cooking show and I heard that
Starting point is 00:59:26 it wasn't actually him and it's kind of brilliant because like if he just hires a bunch of people that are the same body type as him and sends them out
Starting point is 00:59:32 into the world to do other like pre-recorded projects nobody will know yeah because he doesn't talk he literally it's just you gotta just have
Starting point is 00:59:40 anybody with the same basic build I mean honestly it's probably a team of people who just goes by Marshmallow. It's kind of smart. Why not? That's pretty cool.
Starting point is 00:59:49 Same with Deadmau5, right? Does Deadmau5 talk? Well, Deadmau5, you can tell it's Deadmau5 because he's covered in tattoos. So it's a lot harder to get. Someone's like a hardcore, like, double, you know? All the same tattoos. Right, like a Saddam Hussein kind of situation
Starting point is 01:00:03 where he doubles. Oh, is he a DJ? Yeah, he's a DJ. Yeah, big in, like, the early 2000s. Right, like a Saddam Hussein kind of situation. Yeah, exactly. Oh, is he a DJ? Yeah, he's a DJ. Yeah, big in the early 2000s. Oh, cool, cool, cool. I don't know what happened to him. He kind of like fell off. He went underground?
Starting point is 01:00:15 Yeah, he went underground. Yeah, he went underground. I hear he's kind of hanging out. He's hanging out? Where? In the ocean? Hanging out in the ocean? No, that was bin Laden. Oh, that was bin Laden. Yeah, bin Laden. Saddam is hanging. He's hanging out? Where? The ocean? Hanging out in the ocean? No, that was Bin Laden. Oh, that was Bin Laden. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:28 Saddam's still hanging. I mean, they might have cut him down. Sorry, this is getting too grim. I mean, I feel like it's okay to laugh about... No. Yeah, death? It wasn't suicide. I mean, like, he was a dictator. I mean, we could kind of laugh about dictators dying,
Starting point is 01:00:43 right? No? Every time I hear the word dictator, I hear dick-tator. Yeah. Have you guys ever been to Burning Man? No. Can you tell us about it? I don't know. I'm going on Monday for the first time. I was just curious if you had ever been. Kevin, have you?
Starting point is 01:00:59 I haven't. I've had a lot of friends who've gone, though. Yeah, I feel like I know a lot of people who have gone. It's actually really cool. I do not have an extra spot. I wish I feel like I know a lot of people who have gone. Do you have an extra spot? It's actually really cool. I do not have an extra spot. I wish I did. I'm like hesitant about it. I'm like, I'm not into like festival.
Starting point is 01:01:10 I don't really like go to those things. I don't really like that. But I have so many friends who I really trust their opinion who like love it and say it's the best that I'm just like,
Starting point is 01:01:16 I got to try this. But do they all do it on drugs? No, I have like one of my closest friends who goes has been sober for like 20 years. Yeah, it's like it's not even really like
Starting point is 01:01:24 like the music is like one small aspect. Yeah, that's not really. Yeah, it's like, it's not even really like, like the music is like one. Yeah. That's not really. Yeah. It's just like this weird community. I mean, there's a lot of, I mean the aesthetics of it don't really appeal to me.
Starting point is 01:01:31 There's a lot of things about it that I'm like, Ooh, like I was just planning on kind of making fun of this forever, not actually going, but I'm going to go and we'll see how it goes. I think it's probably good to go now. I mean, like I'm sure you'll probably hear from a lot of like the old sort of
Starting point is 01:01:44 burners that it's been sort of invaded by the sort of like wealthy elite that they fly in on a private jet for a day or two and then they leave. Is it expensive, Burning Man? Or is it just kind of you show up? It is. You have to do a lot of preparation. So the ticket is like $450. But then. A day or just.
Starting point is 01:02:01 Total. For the whole week. Yeah. That's not bad. Well, there's not. They're not trying to, like, make a ton of money. It's like trying to just, you know, create for the whole week. Yeah, that's not bad. Well, there's not they're not trying to like make a ton of money. It's like trying to just, you know, create this community or whatever. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:09 But, you know, they have 60,000 people go. So I'm sure they make enough money to do it. You have to bring everything. You have to bring all your own food and water for a week. You have to like bring a bunch of weird random supplies, like glow up light things and a bike and like, I don't know, like a mask, like all the goggles. Just weird stuff. Andrew got like an entire warehouse shipped to his house yesterday. I got a lot of stuff shipped to my house yesterday.
Starting point is 01:02:28 We got to his house. There was like, there's a stack of boxes like higher than his door. There's like 12 packages. Wow. Well, cause it was like, there was like some, you know, ready to eat meal type stuff. And then I had like a lot of battery with like a solar panel so I can have like some power. I don't know all these different things.
Starting point is 01:02:44 That's smart. We'll see how it goes. That's so cool. That's an experience. I think it'll be interesting can have like some power. I don't know all these different things. That's smart. We'll see how it goes. I think it'll be interesting, but I'm not, I don't. Yeah. Cause it's like, it's like part art show, but then part like social experiment, right? Where there's, there's no currency. There's no, like there's no money involved. So everything is for trade, right?
Starting point is 01:03:00 It's not even trade actually. That's a misconception. I thought that as well. But then I read through the whole guide. It's not even like, I give you this, you give me that. It's like, I give you this, period. Like, everything is just free. You are also encouraged to bring stuff to give to people as well. But if you walk around, you can take anything you want from everyone and no one will say anything. It's not like a strict trade. But it is like, you know, in that process, if you bring some stuff and someone else brings some stuff, it'll all kind of work out for everyone. Yeah. I think that's pretty dope. Yeah. I had a friend that he like built a bar or something. Exactly.
Starting point is 01:03:28 People do that. Yeah. Yeah. And then he's just like, yeah, people will just come and just drink for free. And that's fine. That's all part of the Burning Man experience. It sounds cool. And like the environment is so harsh.
Starting point is 01:03:40 It's like, you know, 100 degrees and you're in the desert. There's dust everywhere. The dust gets on everything. And like the fact that the environment is so harsh and yet people like, you know, 100 degrees and you're in the desert and there's dust everywhere and the dust gets on everything. And like the fact that the environment is so harsh and yet people still go every year like it's a testament to how high the highs are. Like how good some aspects of it are. So I'm interested. I think if I went, I'd build
Starting point is 01:03:54 a Hyatt. Well, there are people who do stuff like that. Yeah, to build hotels. Or just like have tons of sleeping bags and stuff like that. But I'll let you guys know how it goes. Yeah, let us know if you see a Kardashian there. Oh yeah, I'll keep an eye out. I feel like they're probably there for a day.
Starting point is 01:04:09 I feel like at this day and age, it's kind of like a spectacle. It is, yeah. People are like, oh, I just didn't check this out. Like Comic-Con used to not be like this mainstream thing. I feel like half the people that I've seen like in those Burning Man photos, it's like Instagram models wearing like a bikini. I'm like.
Starting point is 01:04:26 That's going to be me. Yeah. Yeah, that's me. Hardcore. I'm like, is that really like desert attire? I know. It's definitely changed. But you know what?
Starting point is 01:04:33 It'll be fun. Yeah. And yeah, we'll see. You should get a blow up kiddie pool. Okay. Oh, yeah. Actually, that's also part of it. You're not allowed to let anything touch the ground.
Starting point is 01:04:42 Like no water or like nothing is allowed to let anything touch the ground. Like no water. Nothing is allowed to... I mean, your tent and stuff, but you're not allowed to get any matter or water on the soil. It's kind of a huge rule. So you can't brush your teeth outside and spit on the ground or anything. Because it's meant to be like you're supposed to leave it as you can. You're supposed to leave no trace,
Starting point is 01:04:59 and it is like a very delicate, weird little... There's something about the soil. I don't know. It's like a weird place. It's like a weird... So no throwing up, huh? Yeah, you can't. I don't know. It's like a weird place. It's like a weird. So no throwing up, huh? Yeah, you can't throw up. I mean, there's like toilets and stuff.
Starting point is 01:05:08 Once it's in your tent? Yeah. Once it's in your tent. A yak bucket. They recommend that, actually. A yak bucket. I'd have a sign that says, puke in my Hyatt. This is kind of changing subjects.
Starting point is 01:05:17 No, please. I hear there's a story to how you got your cat, Cole. Oh, yeah. Oh, this is good. Dude. We got like eight minutes left, so I just want to finish it off with this. I love it. I'll try to finish it in seven.
Starting point is 01:05:28 So last September, wow, almost a year ago. What's the kitty's name again? Her name is Capri. Oh. It was Capri. Oh. I'm just kidding.
Starting point is 01:05:37 It still is. But she is dead. But she's dead. So we were looking for a new roommate for my house because we have four open rooms. Well, one was open. That's how roommates work. We had a window in a house.
Starting point is 01:05:53 What is a house? Like a small Hyatt? A small Hyatt. You can puke there. Oh, great. I'd love to come hang out. Yes. We met this girl through like this Facebook
Starting point is 01:06:05 group and she seemed cool and she came and visited and like, she seemed like super cool. We met her twice. I met her, I met her girlfriend and she saw the house. She's like, I'd love this. This would be cool. I'm like, okay. And so we, she sent in her application and like she was approved and she was like, Hey, I'm going to come. I'm going to move in on Sunday. But can I drop? Oh, I had brought up. I was like, oh, by the way, are you allergic to cats?
Starting point is 01:06:32 She's like, no. I was like, oh, well, we were thinking of maybe getting one. We're not sure. And she was like, I actually have a cat. She's like, can I move in with her? I'm like, yeah, of course. She didn't mention that before. She didn't mention that before. That's odd. What? First red flag. First red flag. And I was like, can I move in with her? I'm like, yeah, of course. She didn't mention that before? She didn't mention that before.
Starting point is 01:06:45 That's odd. What? First red flag. First red flag. And I was like, okay, interesting. I think first red flag is getting a roommate off of Facebook. But it's like a closed group. You have to be accepted into the group.
Starting point is 01:06:56 There's only 20,000 members, dude. And we got, so she's like, I'm going to move in Sunday. It would be a lot easier if I could drop the cat off Saturday. And we're like, okay, yeah, do that. She dropped the cat off and then left. And then that was like kind of the last we heard from her. Okay. So we tried.
Starting point is 01:07:17 So like a couple days went by and like me and my other roommate were kind of waiting. We're just like, okay, I guess we'll feed the cat. I guess we'll clean the litter. I don't know. Maybe she'll like some toys. Did she drop anything else off other than the cat? Her and her litter, like her litter box. And then like she just came in a basket with a towel over it.
Starting point is 01:07:42 Like a dirty towel. Not even like a crate? No. We tried hitting her up and she wasn't responding to us. And then like days go by and so we sent her a message. We're like, hey, you can't live here anymore. We need to fill the room. Rent's due.
Starting point is 01:07:57 Just let us know about the cat. And then she responded and she was like, what did you say rent was? Is it flexible? And how much are utilities? And we were like, oh, sorry. We don't know if you saw the message above this one, but you can't live here. Just let us know about the cat.
Starting point is 01:08:16 And then she just kept asking questions. She's like, well, no, I'm going to move in tomorrow. And we're like, she just wasn't like like i think she's trying to gaslight us or something it was very bizarre yeah so we tried to tell so like we just didn't know what to do we were like frustrated we were like i because i was convinced that like she was dead that she died so like i would like i was like doing these manic searches online i'm like this girl's dead and i'm the only one that knows she's missing you know so like i was so concerned for her i was like so like i was doing all this research.
Starting point is 01:08:45 I was trying to find her. I couldn't find her anywhere online. I couldn't find her name. I was like, what? Like this is bizarre. And then like my worry just turned to like anger so quick. And we were like, just like talk to the landlord. Like we don't, we can't deal with this.
Starting point is 01:08:59 And then the landlord calls like a half hour later. And he's like, she is under no circumstances allowed back in that house. We're like, what happened? And he's like, she just started yelling at me. And like she said, you told her all this stuff. I forget what exactly it was, but like I had text proof that I said the opposite. So like I screenshot it, sent it to him and he's like, yeah, so like don't let her back in the house. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 01:09:23 So we're like, okay. So then we texted her again and we're like, okay, so let her back in the house oh my god so we're like okay so then we texted her again and we're like okay so let us know about the cat we'd be happy you know to keep her but otherwise she's yours if you want her and then how is the cat doing throughout all of this terrified she's like shaking it alone in this empty room but like i was in there like all day with her just trying to like calm her down and keep her company and then she texts back. She's like, hey, would it be cool if I came by in a few days to check up on Capri? We're like, check up? Sorry, there's no checking up. Do you want the cat or no? And then she said, well, I'm looking at new apartments right now
Starting point is 01:09:59 I'll see what their pet policy is and I'll let you know And we're like, okay, and then we never heard from her again Maybe she's dead No, for real her again maybe she was dead the whole time wow that's cool and it was just the spirit of her that came yeah that came with the cat that's crazy and but you said the cat's like awesome well she's attached herself to me so i kind of have this cat now she sleeps with me She won't leave my side and she's pretty dependent on me. Well, that's great that it worked out. Yeah, I kind of got a new best friend out of it, which is cool.
Starting point is 01:10:31 What a crazy person. Yeah, that's so weird because she didn't bring up the cat at first. So it wasn't her plan because I brought up the cat. It's odd. So just a very weird scenario. She must have been like kicked out of somewhere and like just needed to put that cat somewhere. No, because she got approved.
Starting point is 01:10:48 Like, her application was approved by the land. Like, everything checked out. On paper, like, it checked out. She seemed cool in person. I don't know what it was. But, yeah, the first text she sent after, like, she was missing, she was just like, Hey, sorry, I was, like, a little stressed. I'm not good at texting when I'm stressed.
Starting point is 01:11:05 We're like, okay. Okay. You're going to pick up your cat? Oh, poor kitty. I remember I was at a birthday party at Dave & Buster's once he first texted back, and I've never been more upset in a Dave & Buster's in my life. I'm always upset in Dave & Buster's. Wait, I may have been there at the Dave and Buster's.
Starting point is 01:11:25 Really? What was it for? Do you remember? It was for my friend's birthday. I don't know if you know. Okay, probably not. Yeah. Did you just hang out there a lot or what's going on?
Starting point is 01:11:33 No, I've been to a couple birthday parties at Dave and Buster's. I feel like I've seen you at Dave and Buster's. No, we have been at the same party before. Yeah, like McKenzie. Dave and Buster's. Yeah, something like that. Yeah, DMB, a little DMB action. Well, I'm glad the cat's in a better home.
Starting point is 01:11:46 Ryan said he wanted to meet him at... What is it? There's a guy, we'll just bleep out his name in that, but there's a guy, he was one of the business leader guys over at Defy. He was, like, newly brought on board, right? Yeah. He was hired from within. Like he wasn't really,
Starting point is 01:12:08 I don't think it's a job that he really wanted and Defy just kind of hurled it on him. Nobody really liked him. Do you have a story about him? Yeah, Ryan told me to tell the story of the all hands meeting. We had a meeting. Every month. Every month. Every month.
Starting point is 01:12:25 And that was new, right? Was that like a new thing you guys did? Yeah, it's something that he kind of put on. In that final year or something. This like All Hands Meeting kind of situation where he would bring everyone in and try to like hype them up, you know, on the successes of Smosh and what we're going to do next. And like, yeah, that is a good thing. But the way that he went about it was like a dad trying to hype you up for like... Your bar mitzvah.
Starting point is 01:12:47 Yeah. Literally, he'd have music from his iPhone playing like dubstep one time. Yeah, and then he had like really bad jokes that he would put in or he would like have gifs in the PowerPoint presentation. In the PowerPoints, he'd like cut, cut, he'd, like, use photos, like, old photos from people's Facebooks, like, in the room. That's funny, though. Of employees. But, yeah, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:13:11 But he also, like, always. I liked him. I did like him just because he was so pure, I guess. I don't know. He had, like, this innocence to him. Yeah. He was a front. You also would think that he was, like, much older than us. Yeah. But he a frat. You also would think that he was like much older than us.
Starting point is 01:13:26 But he was the same age as us. He always just dressed in like a button up shirt. Tucked his shirt in. He'd tuck a plaid shirt into jeans. With a belt. With a belt. Yeah. I didn't intend to like completely overthrow him with one thing. But it happened. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:13:41 He emailed me the night before. He's like hey can you like talk about this tomorrow at the meeting like you know i was like i don't want to do that like i wasn't even gonna go to the meeting i was gonna sleep in and then just show up for work yeah i was like okay i guess so so like i come up and like i see the powerpoint and it's like my face like photoshopped onto this thing with like all these talking points i don't what did i think i just you read the headline talking point and then i just kept in a row yeah so the headline talking point was what we're writing scripts we're writing scripts so the check-in from the writers team was we're writing scripts and there was a bunch of like
Starting point is 01:14:19 points that were like hey you can explain more to get everyone hyped. And then you... I think I just re-read them, but re-worded them. No, you said, you skipped all the ones. You just read the headline and re-worded and said the same sentence eight or nine times. Yeah. Really? And each time I said it, people were laughing more and more and more.
Starting point is 01:14:40 And he was just off to the side, turning white, humiliated. It's like creating a supervillain. Yeah, everyone was losing their shit. Everyone was laughing their asses off. We dogged on him quite a lot in those meetings and he would just be like, ha ha ha, yeah, ha ha. It's crazy, right?
Starting point is 01:14:58 But you could tell he was very bothered by it. I didn't mean, I unintentionally bullied this man. Oh no. I did feel really bad. I didn't mean to. You shouldn't feel bad. I just was apathetic to be there,
Starting point is 01:15:15 but it like just completely undercut everything he was trying to do. Yeah. I mean, you shouldn't feel too bad. I know he was trying to fire some of like our high level people. Oh yeah. Because he thought they were making too much money.
Starting point is 01:15:28 So, yeah. I don't feel too bad about him getting dogged on. I accidentally bullied him. You did? Yeah, what did you do? Because you know how every weekend he would be like, what are you guys up to this weekend? Or he does always the same questions. Like, what are you guys up to this weekend?
Starting point is 01:15:43 Or, how was your weekend? I went into my apartment on Friday and didn't come out until Monday morning. Like, every time. It was a little sad. It was a little cheesy. But I remember one time we were all at the table and he was like, what are you guys up to this weekend? I just looked and I was like, we're all going to stare at a wall the whole weekend. And he's like, okay, well, you guys haven't got time to walk out.
Starting point is 01:16:04 And I was like, shit, dude. I was just trying to be sarcastic and funny, but it actually came out really mean. Yeah. I gave him a good chance. And then I got tired of it because I didn't approve of the work he did. But the thing was, before that, he was so nice to me and trying so hard to be my friend and then
Starting point is 01:16:26 you loved me really? because I was like the other Jewish guy in the office I was like I don't know you also tucked your shirt
Starting point is 01:16:34 in occasionally yeah I tucked my shirt in sad it was like he was looking up to you he was just like red just totally betrayed him
Starting point is 01:16:40 in front of everyone oh no and then he just didn't he like wouldn't make eye contact with me even in the hallway after that. Oh, no. It was like a complete like 180. Like I ruined everything on accident.
Starting point is 01:16:55 It was the last person he could have expected betrayal from. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's like, I trusted you. Oh, my God. Man. Yeah. Judas of the office, Cole. Wow. Holy crap. Well, like, I trusted you. Oh, my God. Man. Yeah. Judas of the office, Cole. Yes. Wow.
