So this is a very special episode that we recorded at VidCon 2019. We got the whole squad there. We had a room full of, I think it was like 200 people, packed it to the gills, full of awesome people. And we only had so many chairs, so many mics. So it's about half the squad at the beginning and the other half at the end. And I almost forgot, we have a few cities that still have some tickets left for the Try Not to Laugh Tour. Portland, Sacramento, and Phoenix, I believe.

So if you live anywhere around any of those places, get those tickies before it's all sold out. Okay, enough of my self-promotion. Let's just get to the podcast. We had Madam to sew wax figures of Anthony and I. We need to rescue Ian's wax figure. All of a sudden we bump into

Katie Couric who recognizes Ian and Anthony. She knew who we were? She said, oh you guys have to go? Don't you want to come to our hotel room with us? Are there the food trucks out there? Gosh. Well that's my favorite part of VidCon, but I can't go there. They don't let me out.

We couldn't hear what was going on back there, but I've been informed that you've been talking some smack about me. Yeah, about our cheating. About our cheating. Yes. Welcome, everybody, to the Smoshcast live at VidCon! Thank you all for coming out. This is super, super cool. I'm seeing a lot of Smosh hats. That's pretty sweet. Thank you guys. This is our first ever live podcast and it's very early in the morning and we had just what were we what were we up to last night guys we were doing our oh by the way I guess I guess for the people that are just listening on

just audio who am I joined by Olivia Shane Damien Courtney what last night was a little bit of a Courtney. What? Last night was a little bit of a... We had a little bit of fun. We did our... We robbed a bank, and it was crazy. It's a typical tradition we do here at Smosh. We, you know, go to VidCon, and we rob the local banks.

It's easy that way. We got $4. The most we've ever gotten. It was pretty good. VidCon doesn't pay us to be here, guys. We have to supplement our income. We have to make it worth it. And by robbing banks, we mean going to Bucket of Peppers

to eat spaghetti. Oh, right. Because, Olivia, so you spent two weeks in Italy, and now you know all Italian? Yeah, so I spent two weeks in Italy, and I learned some Italian. And, you know, we were at Bucca di Beppo, and everyone was chanting,

Bucca, Bucca, you know? And I was like, you know, I was in Italy for two weeks, and I was like, you guys are basically just saying buckets. Yeah. Wait, that's what Bucca means? It's a bucket of Beppo? It's a bucket of peppers. That's what Bucca di Beppo means?

And I would know because I spent two weeks in Italy. Oh no, she's that girl now. Ciao. Are you trying really hard to transition to like a travel influencer now? Buongiorno. Grazie. Grazie.

Okay. We should stop this podcast right now. Everyone in the room is terrified. Grotty. Yeah. Okay. Okay. We should stop this podcast right now. Everyone in the room is terrified. We started this tradition about five years ago at VidCon where we get the whole Smosh fam together and we just blow up Bukidabepo. And then rob it. Rob Bukidabepo.

We made out with a lot of Beppo this time. It's a great time. Put all the Beppo in the bag. Isn't the first time we went to Bucatabepo, wasn't it kind of a fluke and sort of a joke? Yeah, I think what it was was... Have you guys ever seen Honest Game Trailers? Any of y'all? Yeah, so the guy that did the voice for Honest Game Trailers

landed some big commercial gig. And he was feeling like a baller. And he's like, you know what, guys? Let's all go out. It's my treat. Really? Nice. And we were looking around.

We were at VidCon. We were like, where can you take 20 people to a restaurant? And we landed on Bucca di Beppo. Bucket of peppers. Got any Bucca di Beppo. Bucket of peppers. Got any Bucca fans out there? Yeah. Love all four of you. Are you guys Bucca peeps or Olive Garden peeps?

Bucca. Let's give a cheer for Bucca. Yeah, Bucca. Let's give a cheer for the OG. Post Malone went there. Of course they love Olive Garden. It's an Olive Garden crowd. Yeah.

Is Carrabba's Italian Grill a thing out here, or is that just East Coast? No. Carrabba's is where it is at. Olive Garden is shook. At least Bucca, like, their name is Italian. Like, Olive Garden is straight up English. But they've got bucket in it

yeah but like they're not even trying they're like always you know like buca di beppo at least they're like ah bah yeah we're Italian that's exactly what they said did you do that in Italy? did you get kicked out of Italy?

no I honestly started talking in an Italian accent cause I felt like that would they would understand me more. Like, hey, a taxi. He was lying. And they were like, oh, okay, taxi. And I just said, hey, can I get a taxi? That's a thing. I'm pretty sure that's like an actual thing.

Yeah, I was like, oh, oh, own taxi. And they were like, oh, okay. Yeah, I loved Italy. I was eating mushrooms and hitting coin blocks and jumping on turtles. It was so cool. So we're here at VidCon. This is my 10th VidCon. I've been to every single gosh dang.

Every single one. Wow. Wow. The amount of people in this room were about the amount of people that were at the first VidCon. It was pretty nuts. It was you and the dramatic chipmunk. Yeah.

Signing autographs. And just Tay Zonday. It was just the three of us just hanging out. But no, it was really weird because there were no parties. There were no sponsors. There wasn't an expo hall. It was pretty much just a YouTuber

with a little booth where they sold their merch and did some signings and stuff. It was super low-key. just like a youtuber with like a little like booth where they kind of like sold their merch and like did some like signings and stuff it was like it was super low-key like most of us we just kind of hung out in the in the lobby and just kind of like hung out with like viewers and like it was weird there's like there's a super old photo that somebody pulled up and it was like it was myself anthony retin link and uh Barrettes and Beretta. Wow.

And it was just, we all looked like little fetuses. Was it here at the high? No, it was in Century City. Oh, wow. Yeah, it got too big. There's a lot of hair in that photo, by the way. All of you had a lot of hair. I think Rhett had a buzzed haircut at that time.

So it balanced out then. It balanced out. And Link at the time had a combination of you and Anthony's haircut, I feel like. It was emo, but turned into a bowl cut. Right. What else was that like? Because I remember you talked about the first

VidCon, and it was significantly smaller, and you actually knew all the creators that were there. Because it's so many people now. It's impossible to know every person here. Who else was there? Do you remember? Ryan Higa. I remember hanging out with Ryan Higa.

Maybe Jenna Marbles was there. But yeah, it was a very small group of people. Because now they have these crazy big parties where all the creators are at. But back then, we went to a hotel room and just hung out in a hotel room. It was very low-key, but it was nice. I think that's the first time I ever met Ryan Higa,

and we were just hanging out. How old were you? I mean, that was 10 years ago, so I was 21. So I was able to get that alcohol! Which I then probably threw up the next morning. Yeah, it's crazy the way that VidCon's changed and it's still, it's still just such a cool opportunity to, I mean, like, like you guys come here to, to, you know, meet your favorite creators and, and I'm coming here for the same reason. I mean, to meet you guys, but also to meet my favorite creators as well.

Like it's, it's so cool to like see the people that, uh, cause... Because, I mean, they're my peers, and I look up to them, and it's... Yeah, it's cool. What's your favorite part of VidCon, y'all? I just remember my first VidCon, when we walked into... Either it was a hotel or just a lobby of some kind. Not just like, oh, favorite YouTuber. It's all of them, all at once.

They're all there, and you just don't know what to do. You're just like oh favorite youtuber it's all of them all at once they're all there and you just like don't know what to do you're just like and you just have to like mind your own business and go to your next thing but it's like feels good you like you're just a part of this community you're all here doing the same thing so i really dig that um you know when it comes to social media we get a lot of messages and comments and things like that. And obviously you're going to miss stuff. You can't see everything, but after a while you start to recognize, you know, names and comments and things like that. And, uh, it's really cool to put like a face to the name. Um, it's, you know, I've had several people come up and be like, my name is such and such online. And I'm like, Oh my God, I actually legitimately know what you're talking

about. Hi, good to see, very nice to meet you. And I think at other conventions and stuff, you'll have those moments where you're on your way to do something else and someone might see you and stop you and you'll get a photo and say hi and all that stuff. But here, that's the focus. And it's pretty special. I think in that case, you guys, if you interact with us on Twitter, you should be forced to wear your avatar on your face

so we know who you are. It's going to be a lot of Kourtney. Okay, that would be a little strange, just seeing a bunch of Damien Haas faces and Kourtney faces. That would be terrifying. Just my face everywhere, and I'm like... Hey, much easier to start a cult from there than from scratch.

True, it's true. Shane, what's your favorite part? I mean, what you guys are saying, but it's weird because my first VidCon, I was like two weeks on Smosh. I don't think I'd been in a video yet that anyone had seen. So I was able to walk the floor

and no one knew who I was. And it was honestly, that was really cool. There's a lot of really cool booths. And are there the food trucks out there? Yeah. Gosh. Ah, I want something from one of those, and I can't go out there. There's what?

Big wall of candy. Big wall of candy. Well, that's my favorite part of VidCon, but I can't go there. They don't let me out. There's a hot dog truck? Guys. We have to figure out how to get me to that hot dog truck. I crowd surf all the way out of the convention center

to the hot dog truck. Security can't stop me up here. Yes. I'm standing up being transported. But we try to get me out the doors and I just hit my head on the wall. How did Shane die at VidCon?

Epic-ly. In a very cool way. Four hot dogs. Olivia? Okay, so now that I know Shane's favorite part of VidCon are the food trucks. My favorite is, you know, once a year I get to do this, and we get to meet each other and hang out and hug. So weird.

Get to hang out and hug. But, no, I get to meet you guys, and it's a really special time for me because we're always working, working, working, and we don't really actually get to put faces to the names that we see on social media. So it's just really awesome to get to meet you guys and hug and hang out.

It's very cool. Yeah, and the food trucks. That's pretty lit. And the food trucks. I love you. Olivia, I like that all the people that were shorter than you at the meet and greet came straight to you I love you. Olivia, I like that all the people that were shorter than you at the meet and greet came straight to you to hug you. Yes, because we're the same.

Like, short crew. I literally, I was telling my boyfriend last night, I was like, it's so cute when little ones come and like, hug me because I feel like, we're like little, you know? I'm like, I feel you.

Olivia, you're like perfect hugging height though. Am I? Oh yeah. Thank you. I know from experience. Yeah, if you guys want to hug me, come. $10! You know what always goes through my mind though when there's like a little teeny tiny baby coming up to hug us every single terrible joke that we make in any video just cycles through my brain

i'm like what have we what have we said that you now know that oh god this is we've destroyed your development i'm sorry it's all downhill yeah there was like this super adorable, like, girl that was, I mean, I don't think she was any older than maybe five. Wait. Remember, like, near the end, she just, like, came up. She didn't say anything. She was like, hi. And we're like, you're so, like, I felt like if we were to hug her, we would have broken her into pieces. Maybe that's why they gravitate towards me, because I'm less, like, of a threat.

You know, like, you guys would trample over her. I'm like, oh, hey, we're, like, the same height. If people really knew you, Olivia, they would know that you of a threat. You guys would trample over her. I'm like, oh, hey, we're the same way. If people really knew you, Olivia, they would know that you are the threat. Honestly, true. I was in the hotel lobby yesterday and I was in a hurry somewhere and then I realized I forgot something.

I turned around and there was a little train of just little tiny guys running behind me. Your passes say community, right? They're literally so small, their passes just said child. I saw them too. Hello. Maybe I can sign their little passes.

They're so cute. I want a child pass. Join my army. When you want to bet on sports, play it on a field or ice or course, Bear Rivers is the place. Over, under, money, lines, same game, parlays, it's all fine. I'm waiting for us to have an actual baby meet us someone close to you, please contact Connects Ontario at 1-866-531-2600 to speak to an advisor free of charge. I'm waiting for us to have an actual

baby meet us at the meet and greet. There has been, no? Hi, this is my baby. He's a huge Smosh fan. He's three months old, loves Smosh. By the way, he said he was team toxicity. That's right. Yes.

Thank you. Mushroom clout. Don't even try to think that mushroom clout's gonna win. It's not gonna happen. Teams are splitting this crowd, man. Yeah, I'm seeing some green. I'm seeing some pink. Just you wait, guys. This is, I will say,

I'm so excited for you guys to see Summer Games. Yes. It's literally not even just saying this, I think it's for sure our best yet. The games and just the craziness that we had and the way points kept building up, it was just like, it's unreal and I'm so excited.

There's also a lot of bees where we built these. Yeah, you would think that, like, because we filmed out in the desert out in Barstow, which is a place that nobody should actually live in. No human should exist out there. Hey, the first Del Taco is in Barstow. Is there anyone from Barstow out here in the audience? Nope.

Good. No, there was somebody, but you already dissed barstow so he's like i'm not from barstow no um well it's it's it's in between here and las vegas yeah i mean there's there's nothing out there las vegas any lv peeps nice there's a lot of meth and soccer games out there no i'm serious you say meth and soccer games a lot of No, I'm serious. Did you say meth and soccer games? A lot of soccer games are held in Barstow. In certain areas. It's poppin'.

I would say that's pretty true about all soccer. It's in certain areas. Can I just say, coming off what Courtney said, that this is a really awesome summer games because when I feel competitive, that means it's really good. I want to destroy the other team.

I was ready. I was down to cheat. I was really heated because I really didn't want you guys to win. Okay. I was going to do some bad things. I was going to sabotage your lunch. That's when you know it's really good. How do to sabotage your lunch. That's when you know

it's really good. How do you sabotage a lunch? I was not going to throw... This is a ham sandwich. This is dirt. I was going to throw sand. I was going to throw some sand on their food. She's like, I'm going to give them the GMO food. No, I mean, that was... Okay, I didn't mean sabotage. Wrong word. I was going to poison

them. Like I said, Olivia is the real threat here, guys. You have no idea. She is terrifying. Yes. Yeah, I feel like we got pretty competitive during this one. Not quite as competitive as summer camp. Nothing will ever meet that.

We got like, I don't know how much we've talked about. We got very heated and like mad during summer camp. Oh, yeah. Well, there was a disagreement on how kickball is played. And we all... We all... When we did the slip and slide kickball during Smosh Summer Games

camp, at the beginning we were like, does everyone know the rules of kickball? And everyone was like, yeah, yeah, yeah. We know the rules. Cut to ten minutes later we were all about to kill each other. My favorite moment is olivia they spencer edited the text so small you just see her from across the field she's like kate don't even let me get me started with your shit yeah i was so mad i i like legitimately turned into courtney freaking miller there because I was so mad. Was that before? Was Courtney Freakin' Miller

playing yet? I think it might have been before the creation of Courtney Freakin' Miller, but I was legitimately yelling that angrily. Wow. I don't know if I've ever

seen you that angry. Turns out we all played different kickball games because none of us knew the rules. You can't take a playground game and say, does everyone know the rules?

Because school to school, region to region, it varies. They don't even have the same name. Someone's going to be like, oh, you mean tap the leather pumpkin with your foot? And it's like, that's what we call it back in Boise or whatever. So I think the problem is you just had to go over the rules. I'm glad that was before my time because I don't want to be mad at you. We went over the rules, but Keith cheated.

I'm just saying. Keith cheats at every Summer Games. This is a well-documented thing. Keith and Lazercorn are notorious. Be prepared, guys. It's going to be a really good one. It was very good. Let me ask you guys

this. I was taking a shuttle back with Lasercorn yesterday after our Fortnite gaming session, and he we were just talking about it and joking around and he said like, you know, my mom always used to say, if you're not cheating, you're not trying. And other people were like, yeah, my mom said that too. And I was like, is

this a phrase? That sounds wrong. Does anyone, has anyone heard that before? Okay. Because there were like three or four people with us that were like, yeah.

Police, get those ones. Get them, get them. There, there, no. Book them, boys. I was like, what the heck? Who's teaching? Why?

That's odd. Don't cheat. Have honor. Wait, he just like randomly was in the car with you and was like, hey, Damien, so my mom said, like, how did this come up?

I've never heard anything about LaserCoin's parents. I didn't even believe that he had them. I thought he was just grown in a lab. I thought he was just grown in a lab. And he just walked out. Yeah. I thought he was like rose like a phoenix, just like out of some fire. Somebody opened a barrel of nuclear waste and he was just there.

He was like, hey, what's going on? It's like, oh, all right. Like, oh, what's your name? He's like, Laser Corn. Oh, can we talk about Laser Wolf? Can we talk about what happened? Oh, yeah. So we can make these fun hats in one of these lounges

and Laser Corn wanted to put Laser Corn on his hat, you know, as he would, you know. And then he gets his hat back, and it's spelled, it's Lazerwolf. And they spelled Lazer, L-A-Z-O-R. It was L-A-Z-O-R. Wolf. Which makes me think that there has to be

another YouTuber here named Lazerwolf that they just flipped it with, right? Because that's a colossal mistake. He wrote it very clearly. I don't understand what happened. The letters don't even look similar, sorry. Because that's a colossal mistake. He wrote it very clearly. I don't understand what happened. The letters don't even look similar. Sorry. So there's a dude named Laser Wolf now walking around with a laser corn hat.

Really pissed off. Whoa. I think we know what we've got to do, guys. I think we've got to find this Laser Wolf. Steal the Declaration of Independence. Yes! So this is your guys' fifth VidCon? Yes.

It's Damien's third? I think it's my third. Yeah, it's my third. Hey! I'm getting confirmation that there is indeed. I've been here three times. Thank you. Yeah, sometimes I think you guys have better memory

about what we do than we have memory of ourselves. I used to keep track of how many VidCons we went to, not by the years, because who does that, but by my haircut. I was like, oh, yeah, first year I had weird hair, second year was better hair, third year was really long hair, and the fourth year was short hair.

So we're good. We're on our fifth one now. And people are like, what? I don't know. Yeah, for VidCon, mine was just bull, bull, bull, bull, bull. Bull. Less bull. Yeah, for VidCon, mine was just bowl, bowl, bowl, bowl, bowl. Bowl. Less bowl than just like... Dad hair.

Dad. It looks good. Your hair looks fantastic. Thank you. Thank you so much. I washed it. You styled it. It looks really good.

What kind of shampoo do you use, dude? Whatever's in the hotel. Garnier Fructis, dog. Look at that. He's got that sleek and shine. Obviously. So, what's... What shampoo do I use?

Oh, well. Yeah, the Pantene Blonde, you know. Yeah. What was your guys' first impression of VidCon? Like, the first year you came here. Like, was it what you expected? Did it blow your mind? Did it scare the shit out of you

and made you rethink becoming a YouTuber? Like, how was it for y'all? For me, it was like, I knew... I was, like, doing some weird internship before this job this question was directed toward us right you think i'm asking the audience i don't know every single one of them i'm gonna go down the line and ask all i don't know how many of you are out there let's just count count one ready for those that can't see at home, 6,000. 112.

It's at least 5 million. 5 million people in this room. I'd say like, yeah, legit, like, like 260. Really?

It seems like maybe 100. Nah. It's great to be here at Madison Square Garden. Thank you guys for coming. But yeah, I literally like, I felt like I was destined

for VidCon. It was something I knew I always wanted to do and be a part of like I was destined for VidCon it was something I knew I always wanted to do and be a part of I was a freaking YouTube nerd loved love videos just love them who never you never know what to expect your first time like I think it was 2015 and it was like security was

kind of different so like bigger influencers were kind of like would sneak around on the floor and then there'd be people screaming and running, and you're like, oh my god, this is actually insane. And then the Defy Lounge was crazy. Do you guys remember that? Oh, was that the year that we had our wax figures there? Yeah, the Smosh the Movie.

That was a big year for you guys. 2015 was nuts. That was strange. Yeah, we had Madame Tussauds wax figures of Anthony and I. Where is yours now? Isn't it like suffering? Okay, this is We need to rescue Ian's wax

figure. Yeah, we definitely need to pull a National Treasure heist on my wax figure because he is being disgraced right now. Where is he? Okay, I think Madame Tussauds, like, they pulled Anthony and I away from each other. That was not at the direction of us.

Wait, what do you mean? I don't know where Anthony's wax figure is. Somebody posted a picture of my wax figure, which is, like, it's supposed to be in the motion of pushing Anthony off a stool. Right, right. But now there's just nobody.

So I'm just like... And what was on your... Yeah, you had a thing on you. They put a VR headset on my head. What? Like covering your face. Yeah, I don't know what the hell is going on. They also...

When we were in New York, I walked past the Madame Tussauds in New York and they just had Jenna Marbles outside in the cold. She was just like, she was just out there. There was no other wax figure out there. It was just Jenna Marbles. So they're just disgracing

us YouTubers. We need to get a hold of Madam. Yeah, we need to call her up from the afterlife. Because she's very dead. And this is how you tell us? God. Yeah, I don't know what they're doing with my wax figure.

I want it. I want it back. If I need to buy it back, I will do that. Where are you going to put it? Well, okay, here's the plan, Courtney. I'm going to keep my house very dark, and I'm going to put my wax figure in random corners of my house. Every time a friend

comes to visit, I'll move them to a different spot. Or I put them in your guy's house when you're not home. Sure, I'll take it. No, if you get that wax figure, you are in a prime place to fake your own death.

Ooh. Wait. So what you're saying is that... figure, you are in a prime place to fake your own death. Ooh. Wait. So what you're saying is that... They do the autopsy. They're like, he's been crystallized. That's how he died. Oh my god, he turned into wax. I think we should really find it.

I think this is a national treasure type of situation. We should document this. We should document this. We should make this a documentary. And where's Anthony's? I don't know. Where is Anthony? I don't know. Where's Anthony?

So I think this is very important. I believe he's in San Francisco. Are there any people from San Fran here? All right. Okay, I need to send you guys. You guys need to go on a mission, all right? Go to the Madame Tussauds in San Francisco and please

report back. And steal him. Yeah, steal him. Don't steal him. In Fisherman's Wharf. Report back. It's not there. His wax figure is in Alcatraz. Where the hell? We gotta break him out of there, guys. Damn, we got a lot of San Francisco

people here. I'm just saying, like, everyone's been to the madam's house in San Francisco? You haven't, Olivia? Come on. I've never been. I love San Francisco. It's like my favorite city. I'm not even kidding.

It's like my favorite city. It's where my parents met. So thank you, San Francisco, for being a thing. That's cute. What did he say? Thank you. So we have about 30 more minutes. But I know, I know.

We thought this was going to be two hours. And then they were like, no, actually it's one hour. So we have a little surprise for you guys. No, we're not showing another Summer Games trailer. We liked it so much we did it twice. What's the surprise? I don't even know the surprise.

The surprise is that you guys have to leave because we got some other peeps that are going to walk up here. So let's bring their beautiful faces up. Made of wax. All right. All right. All right.

Love you guys. Okay, we love you guys so much. Say goodbye to Olivia, Shane, Damien, and Courtney. Bye, guys. All right. So now I'm just going to talk to you guys for 30 minutes just on my own. How are you guys?

Oh, oh, there are people. Now I am joined by Lazer Corn. Hi. Keith Leak Jr. Hello. Hi. Hello. Noah Grossman. Oh, yo, it's finally on. Hello. Hi. Hello. Noah Grossman.

Yo, yo, yo, yo. Yo, yo. It's finally on. And Mari Takahashi. Hey. So welcome to VidCon. Hello. Hello.

Hello. We couldn't hear what was going on back there, but I've been informed that you've been talking some smack about me. Yeah, about our cheating. About our cheating. Yes. About our completely fair play. There we go.

Oh, so you want to go there. Oh, let's go there. I'm completely innocent. So, Lazicorn, I've been informed that you have a mom. I do. Do you guys not? And that she gave you some kind of wisdom

about cheating? Yes, an ancient saying of the corns passed down from generation to generation. The saying goes, if you ain't cheating, you ain't trying. What? What?

And there's a couple people here that also heard that wisdom yes yeah i feel like you heard that wrong what well hold on my mom actually said something to me she said if you if you hold on give me a second give me a second can you say in her voice she said she she said this is how my mom talks she talks talks like my grandma. She says, cheaters never lose. What? Cheaters never lose. Get it? Wait, that's the opposite of what I've heard.

I heard cheaters always lose. My mom is very influential. Cheaters always lose. How do you explain Lance Armstrong then? He won a whole bunch of stuff. Over and over again. Live strong and leave Lance Armstrong out of it. We're teaching some really bad things to these impressionable people.

I am teaching nothing. I'm just relaying what was told to me. By my mother. Children of the Corn. Children of the Corn. Is that what you call your viewers? The Children of the Corn? Yes. I do now. What have you started, sir? One day the Children of the Corn. I do now. What have you started, sir?

One day the Children of the Corn will rise up. No, no, no. And overthrow the American government. I hope not. So this is, for you guys, I mean, Keith and Noah, this is your fifth VidCon. Laser, this is your, what, sixth, seventh? I have lost count. I'm not sure.

This is your seventh, Laser Corn, because this is my eighth. Well, I did, but I missed a year somewhere in there. Yeah, my brother's bachelor party landed on VidCon one year, so I did not go that year. This is your sixth year. Sixth year? Okay. Like I said.

Okay. But I remember, like, there was one year, I guess that was the first year of VidCon, Mari, where it was just myself, Anthony, and you. Because you had just started doing Smosh Pit Weekly, and you were sort of like, yeah!

OG. And that was like such a weird year where it's like we did like a meet and greet booth, and you were there, and some people like knew who you were and some people were like, ah. Yeah, I got my first piece of fan art, which I still have. And it was just such a nice gesture because you and Anthony had your signing and your meet and greet and you're like, you want to sit with us? And I was like, yeah, sure. us and i was like yeah sure and so i

was sitting there and some people knew me some people i feel like knew me but didn't want to say hello they're like oh it's that girl and smosh and then other people specifically brought things for me whether they knew that i was going to be there or not it was just one of the i don't know it was just the sweetest thing and And I didn't know what VidCon was. I didn't have any sort of background research of what to expect. But I feel like every year we come back to VidCon, it still feels like that. So, it's dope.

That was a weird year also, because I remember we met Terry Crews. Oh, no, really? Yeah. Oh, awesome. That was like a weird moment where it was like, some celebrities were finding out about VidCon. They! Yeah, that was like a weird moment where it was like some celebrities were finding out about VidCon. They're like, what is this VidCon thing?

And like, yeah, we took a flexing photo of Terry Crews and he made us look very weak. Why have I not seen his picture? We keep it hidden. I need to see the picture. I also met some like meme people. Do you remember? I can't remember.

Yeah, like Bad Luck Brian. Bad Luck Brian came through VidCon for several years. I was like, oh, there he is again. We partied with him at the Studio 71 party at one point, I remember. I remember dancing with him at the House of Blues. And then there was a guy. Do you remember the meme? It was something about a bear.

It's a commercial. It's like Confession Bear? No. That's a meme. No. It's this older man, and he's kind of like a hunter man, but he's like. Yeah, Chuck Testa. You're talking about Chuck Testa?

Chuck Testa. Oh, yeah. I've got a photo with Chuck Testa somewhere. Thank you for that. Wait, Chuck Testa came to VidCon? Yeah. That was my first VidCon that I went to. And I was like, that's Chuck Testa.

Bizarre. That was a meme created by Rhett and Link. Was it really? Yeah. Yeah. That was when they did their show. And they were doing these cheesy commercials for random small businesses. And Chuck Testa, who is a taxidermist, he would have these commercials where they're like, oh, is that a bear? And he's like, nope, Chuck Testa, who is a taxidermist. He would have these commercials where they're like,

oh, is that a bear? And he's like, nope, Chuck Testa. And it was just like this really... It's so weird talking about old memes. Because whenever a meme is two weeks old, it's super old news. But we're talking about ancient memes. I feel like there's going to be some sort of revival

of the old memes. You're going to have your long cats and your Chuck Testas. Somebody's going to make a meme bible at some point, right? Yeah. I feel like there's going to be a meme archivist. You can go to a library or a museum

and see the memes of yore. Would you guys pay for that? Would you guys pay to go to a meme museum? Should we write the meme bible? Just straight up no. I like the memes of yore. That's a good name for a show.

The memes of yore. Each week we will delve into an ancient meme and discover its roots. It could be a thing. Yeah. I would see... I would go... I would go to a museum if they had

taxidermied Grumpy Cat. Oh! How dare you? Too soon. I realized as I said that, I was like, oh shit, he actually just died. That's sad. I forgot. She! She.

Oh, I'm sorry. No respect for you. Oh, I met Grumpy Cat at that same VidCon. R.I.P. Oh, poor guy. Girl. She. Hey, I mean guy in like this sort of like sense that you could say guy about girls. Yeah, whatever. It's 2019.

Lil Bub. Lil Bub is still kicking. So that's you know yeah lil bub's still alive so i'm stoked about that anyway enough about memes uh what's like what's the what's the weirdest thing that that either of you any of you experienced at vidcon in all the years all right i've got one real quick the weirdest thing I've ever experienced was with Keith, and it was also with you and Anthony in 2015. 2015, we were at the Hilton. So Keith and I were going, and this is when we had our

Smosh dinner going on, our annual Smosh dinner. We always get together and have a nice little dinner. Oh, we explained the bucca. Oh, we already explained the bucca? Yeah. We explained the bucket of peppers to them. Yeah. Bucca di Beppo has a special place in all of our hearts and also a bad place in our stomachs. The main point

is we were going to go to the Bucca di Beppo night. And so Keith and I were going through the hotel and at this time in 2015 it was the last year where I think fans could kind of sneak into the hotel, get into the elevators and kind of chase people through the halls. Which was like, you know, it sounds more fun than it is because you turn a corner

and it's kind of like a zombie movie. There's just someone running. There's more people. And you just join the direction that they're running. And that's effectively what happened with us. We turn a corner and there's Ian and Anthony. And they're like, we've got to go. There's fans.

We've got to go. There's fans. And we're like, oh, okay, cool. Because I guess they somehow saw them in an elevator or something. They were running after them. So we join them. We run. We take a corner.

We take another corner. And all of a sudden we bump into Katie Couric. Does anyone know who that is? Oh, yeah. Right? join them. We run. We take a corner. We take another corner. And all of a sudden we bump into Katie Couric. Does anyone know who that is? Oh, yeah. Right? Thank you. Thank you. Straight up from, I believe that's Good Morning America to Day Show. One of these. Everyone knows her. She's there in the morning. She's there with her whole team. And immediately Keith and I. And Casey Neistat.

Was it Casey Neistat also? Yeah, Casey Neistat and Katie Couric for some reason. I didn't even remember him. I was starstruck by Katie. That's who I cared about. So we get stopped by Katie. That's who I cared about. Me too. So we get stopped by Katie who recognizes Ian and Anthony and we have to get to

Bucca di Beppo dinner. Ian and Anthony are like, hey, so nice to meet you. We gotta go. To which Keith and I are like, She knew who we were? Yes, she knew who you were. She offered.

She said, oh, you guys have to go? Don't you want to come to our hotel room with us? Yes. And then her assistant was like, yes, you don't. Yes. Did I almost have a chance with room with us? Yes. And then her assistant was like, yes. You don't. Yes. No.

Did I almost have a chance with Katie? Yes. Yes. Yes. That is the point. Hold on. No. What?

Ian, we were so shocked. We were so shocked that you guys passed up just to go get some food at Bucca di Beppo. We were like, yo. Oh, man. We want to go to the room with Katie Couric. Ian, I want you to know that as an 18-year-old, Katie Couric didn't know who I was. Obviously, she knows you guys. She had a bottle of wine

and her assistant said, you guys want to come back? We could interview you, maybe have some of this wine. And I'm 18 and I'm just like, did Katie Couric just offer me an illegal beverage? No!

Is this going to be on the news tomorrow? What? This sounds way more sexual than I remember it. I didn't accept it. I didn't accept it. There we go.

You're like, yeah, she had her shirt like over her, like I didn't accept it. There we go. You're like, yeah, she had her shirt down her shoulder. Yeah, there were rose petals on the floor. Yeah, leading back to her room. That was the coolest thing that's happened.

That's very strange. Instead, we ate mozzarella sticks. No, you don't remember that? I don't remember her trying to seduce me. No, no, no, no. Okay, now you're taking it somewhere else.

That is not what happened. It was not full seduction. He said she invited us back to her room, offered up a bottle of wine. I mean, that's a sign. That's an invitation. It was an opportunity. You didn't take it.

Thank you. I had to get that bucca. I like to think that for years these guys are like, man, Ian, he's got some standards, man. Instead of Katie Couric, he chose us. And he chose the family dinner, and you just didn't even know. He chose spaghetti.

That's what he chose. You always choose spaghetti. Spaghetti over Couric. Any other weird VidCon moments? That was probably the weirdest one. Noah hit the nail on the head for me. That was my favorite moment. Mari, you got anything? I can't think of anything off the top of my

head. Nothing weird. I don't think it happened at VidCon, but I do remember there was a night at some convention. Old school Smosh Games crew, we were all playing, like, board games in one of our rooms, and a fan was, like, knocking on our door

really loudly. Kind of like, like, like, sort of knocks, you know, where you're like, ooh, what do you do? And then I remember, like, all of us were like, what do we do? What do we do? And they're like, Mari, go, go get the door. And I'm like, what? Why does it have to be me that goes and gets the door? But I remember we all, like, walked up to the door. And I'm like, what? Why does it have to be me that goes get, go and gets the door?

But I remember we all like walked up to the door and we're like looking through the, the, the hole to see who it was. We're like, oh, it's that guy we saw earlier.

But we opened the door and we're like, hey dude, we can't like hang out. And then he was like, okay, that's fine. And we're like,

okay, that was good. But I feel like it was a moment where we were all really like scared. And we're like, how did that was good. But I feel like it was a moment where we were all really scared. Yeah, we're like, how did he find our hotel room? Yeah, that was weird. Literally nothing came out of it, but we're like, he found us.

And that was it. Do you guys remember when, back in the days at Defy, we had the Defy Lounge, and that was an area where, it's an area where creators and industry people can kind can hang out away from the crowds and stuff.

And for some reason, Mark Ruffalo was there. Yeah, the Hulk showed up. I do remember this. And he brought his daughter, because I guess his daughter is a big YouTube fan. So then he used his Hollywood powers to basically get his way in and get whatever he wanted, because that's what you could do when you're a Hollywood star. And then so he was hanging out, super, super nice, talking to everyone.

He's being very cool. His daughter was really stoked to be there. And then later on, daughter was there, and then we're like, where's Mark? And he basically dumped her off on us at the lounge. Yeah, like a babysitting service. She used us as a babysitter. Wow.

Yeah, it was a smart move. She was just chilling. We had a little VR area there, remember, with a VR demo, and she was doing that. And then, yeah, Mark was gone. He had something for us to do. Yeah, he came back and scooped her up eventually, didn't he? I also know that...

Did she want it off? What happened? No, she was stuck in the VR forever. Oh, no. She died in the game, and everyone knows when you die in the game, you die in real life. Is that the new Tron? It features Mark Ruffalo and his daughter? Yes.

And the Vive? Yeah. Wait. Did he have a son there, too? He did have a son And Wes befriended him And I know that they all went to New York Comic Con together And

Mark Ruffalo walked around The con with a Hulk mask on And no one ever knew that it was him That's great So if you ever see people with masks on Ask them to take it off, because it could be a celebrity.

Yeah. Everyone with a mask. And don't even ask. Just rip the mask off their face. I know who you are. Oh, sorry. Oh, we're told that you're not allowed to wear masks. But if you're a Hollywood celebrity.

Yeah, if you're Mark Ruffalo. You're allowed. Yes. Every person wearing a mask at a con is a celebrity. Confirmed. It is kind of weird meeting other YouTubers here at the parties or at the lounges. You know them from the videos and you know them on a surface level. Is that weird for you guys?

When you're talking to a YouTuber, sometimes it's like you thought you knew them because you'd seen them in videos. And you're like, oh, no, this is actually the first time we met. Is that ever weird for you guys? What's your feelings on that? It's really embarrassing. I did that with Linus, like Linus Tech Tips. I was like, hey, man, totally thinking that I knew him. And he's like, hey, have we met?

I'm like, yeah, dude. I'm sure I've seen you several times. It's killing me. But they meet so many people that you have to imagine they're just like, oh, maybe I did meet you. I feel like you could get away with it. I didn't. You didn't get away with it.

I was not smooth. And I still like fangirl around people that I watch. So I don't know. Sometimes I can really keep it in. And then other times I just feel like I'm 12 and trying to talk to somebody that I like, and I'm like, hey, hey, how's it going? Am I doing okay? Am I doing okay?

Yeah, the internal monologue is sad. I'm usually the guy who points and is like, oh, that's so-and-so, but I'll never go up and speak to you. I'm just like, that's so-and-so, that's so-and-so. Oh, I love their videos, that's so-and-so. Oh go up and speak to you i'm just like that's so and so that's so and so oh i love their videos that's so and so oh that's oh i don't like that person i'm in the back i'm gonna cut and they're like two feet away from you and they're like i heard that i'm like damn it who don't you like here at vid No, I'm not doing that. I'm not doing that. No, no. The tea is staying in my cup. I actually,

I have trouble recognizing people like out of context or just in general. So a lot of times, a lot of times I'll be talking to someone, I'll be like, oh, cool, how's your VidCon going? And then someone else will be like,

you're just talking to so-and-so from, you know, I'm like, oh, right. Yeah, I watch their videos. Yeah, I should have said I like your videos. I'm like, oh, I didn't, I watch their videos. Yeah, I should have said I like your videos. I'm like, oh, I didn't recognize them in person. Does anyone else have that problem?

That's just a me problem. It might just be a you problem. You're literally the most aloof person that I know. I'm not aloof. I just, out of context, it doesn't always make sense. So you have to see them do their, like, video or do their meme in order to, yeah. Not all the time, but with some people, don't i don't recognize them out of context that's funny yeah i'm a little similar to keith i mean we always hang out together so i think we're a little similar

but definitely in the elevators is when it gets awkward because it's just like you and like six or seven other people and everyone has seen someone else before but no one's introduced themselves and so you're either looking at the floor or just exchanging eye contact with like slight smiles being like who's gonna say hi first and then you just wait until it's someone's floor and then you never do yeah that is that weird thing of like the elevator being like oh my god that's a really big youtuber that just leaving the elevator right now it's the only person i feel comfortable like straight up running up to and hugging is anthony and i did that before i got here yeah yeah really i mean because we all know each other it's what it is he was uh going around with his cameraman and he popped out the elevator

and i was obviously interrupting whatever he was doing but i had to be like yo what's up he was like oh hey all right goodbye i gotta shoot stuff it was like okay that's cool thank you i ran i ran into him on the first day he had like a big crate full of his best interviewer shirts. I was like, oh, you look like you're going to something. I saw he was carrying his tree around. A tree? Yeah, he has a tree that's in his set, so he's shooting some stuff here.

And so he carried his tree to VidCon. Smart. Wow. You mean tree, tree? Yeah, a straight up tree. Wow. A full blown tree. I think that's a fire hazard somewhere.

Yeah, probably. Yeah. I don't even know how he got in the elevator. I mean, it's probably like a seven or eight foot tall tree. Did the tree have a pass on? Sorry, that was way too loud. Oh, that's true. That's so loud.

Oh my God. The tree will get ejected. Yeah. Yeah, the tree's. Oh, that's true. That's so loud. Oh my god. The tree will get ejected. Yeah, the tree's a total fangirl too. It's so annoying. Oh, I will say, as awkward as I can be when I'm trying to meet people, talking, dancing is the best way for

me to connect with people. And we were at an event a couple nights ago, and I was just kind of hanging around on the sidelines, keeping the door getting down. It looked like a mosh pit, but a nice one. Like a dancing mosh pit, so no one's pushing each other, but everyone's just like, yeah!

That sort of mosh pit. And they were right in the middle of it, and then I come around, and I'm like, what's going on, what's going on? And then one of your buddies Mane pulls me in and then we were all dancing but I met a lot of

really cool people that way so sometimes it doesn't have to be verbal. Can I just say Mari on the dance floor is a force to be reckoned with. She killed it. She actually surprised me the other day. I was like, Mari, I didn't know you had that in you She was dancing like a black girl a little bit

I love it I will say though When the Smosh family comes to a party We get down I remember That's one of my fondest VidCon memories When it was the full crew of us Probably three or four years ago At the old House of Blues It was like when it was like the full crew of us probably three or four years ago

at the old House of Blues. It was like Studio 71 party. And they were playing like all this music but nobody was dancing. And we just like we just formed this circle and we just started getting down. And then obviously everyone saw how awesome we were and how great of a

dancer myself and LaserCorn is. It's about like 10% good dancing and 90% just joke dancing, which is just the best. It's all about confidence. As long as you look like you're just doing it, people are like, oh, okay, yeah, all right. Commit. Yeah, you just commit.

No, people were definitely pointing and laughing. You just didn't notice because of your confidence. They were laughing at me, too. My just didn't notice. Because of your confidence. Yeah. They were laughing at me too. My moves are not good. I have two. Yep. The raptor claws. Oh, okay. What was that one called? Is that a new one that you're picking up? Oh, damn. I'm working on that one.

No one look. No. Good rehearsal. Yeah. Just one time to decide. Now he's stolen it. Yeah, he made it better. In like five seconds keith made it better how long have you been working on that back to the lab seven seven years what's what's the best um so so at at vidcon at these lounges all these like corporate sort of like companies trying to curry creators favors they always offer up a lot of free crap what's the what's the coolest free thing you ever you ever got uh i don't know

like right off what's the coolest free thing but like the twitter lounge the twitter lounge is always really cool like they give us like clothes clothes i like clothes. Clothes. Yeah. This year they had Adidas track jackets. I'm like, this is pretty good. And they told you could get something written on it. And they had these artists spray painting stuff on the back of the jacket. What did you guys get written on the back? Oh.

No, nothing bad. put i put my at it says at keith leake jr and i was like shouldn't have done that well because they they wanted you to put your your at on there everyone was smarter than that and they just wrote a different thing on there but But you're like, I'm going to follow the rules at Keith Lake Jr. I'm embarrassed because now whenever I wear the Adidas Adidas People are going to be like, oh, this guy is pretentious.

It looks like he came. Follow me. The amount of strangers who are going to look you up just when you're walking around is great. I wear it at home. It's great. Wear it at home when I get cold. I didn't get one of the jackets, but I did go to one of the lounges, and I put in my name for a cool little bucket hat.

I should have brought it with me. Yeah, and I put down laser corn, and they put laser wolf on the hat. Spelled L-A-Z-O-R wolf. But you just accepted it without telling them to go back and check? I literally, I had another place to get to, so I grabbed it, and I threw the hat on my head. You're close enough.

No, without even looking at it, I just threw it on my head, and I'm like, cool, thank you so much, I gotta go. And I ran to my next thing, and then it wasn't until I was on the way there, and I was trying to do a story on the way there, and I'm like, yeah, and I just got my next thing, and then it wasn't until I was on the way there, and I was trying to do a story on the way there, and I'm like, yeah, and I just got my cool hat that says, what the laser wolf?

So I didn't realize until I was too far away, and I couldn't go back because I had to get to the thing. So I was out of luck. Dang. Well, now you have to change your name. You're Laser Wolf now. Yeah, I'm Laser Wolf now. But I have this theory that there is some guy out here

that's named Laser Wolf, and he didn't get his hat. So if you need me, or if you want your hat back, come find me, Laser Wolf. You have the laser corn hat. Yeah. The best way to describe the gifting suites

would be if anyone's ever been to a bar or bat mitzvah, it's kind of like that except like just a little bit more amped. So instead of like airbrush tattoos, so like airbrush onto a piece of clothing for you or something, instead of a hat, you get your adidas. But the coolest thing that happened, coolest thing that I've ever gotten was yesterday. So Keith put me down as a plus one at a little lounge event he was going to. Yeah, it was super sweet. His agent, they had at a little lounge event he was going to. Yeah, it was super sweet. His agent, they had like a little lounge.

It was super sweet. And they had a raffle. And I was like, I'm going to put my name down on a raffle. I've never won anything. And no one there knows me. I'm not supposed to be there. I'm a plus one. You are supposed to be there.

You're my plus one, bro. Thanks, Keith. Thank you. He's your plus one in life. Oh, that was sweet. Thank you. I love you, man. I love you too, Keith. Thank you. He's your plus one in life. Oh, that was sweet. Thank you. I love you, Keith. I love you too, bro. Long story short, they had a raffle for some Apple AirPods.

I've never owned any, right? I wanted to look like I'm, I guess, rich and waste money, I guess. But they weren't just any normal Apple AirPods. They were custom painted. They got a little black case. They came with black AirPods. They had his agency's name on AirPods. They were custom painted. They got a little black case. They came with black AirPods. They had his agency's name on it. They put this together.

They spent money, and they wanted someone that they know to win. And I won. And then I left. That's what I did. Can I say this? When you won, there was a little bit of envy that set in because I wanted to win. You know what I mean? And I thought, I was like, dang,

this is my plus one. You should just hand him over, just slide him around. He didn't do it, but... Nope. But honestly, if he wins, I'll win. So I'm going to just steal him later. We're running up on our time here. So what do you think would be the... What do you want to see

at the next VidCon? What do you think they should have at the next VidCon? What do you think they should have at the next VidCon? More fans. More of you guys. Games that aren't Fortnite. Oh, damn. Standing ovation over here. Standing ovation.

This is legit the longest applause anything has gotten today. Yeah, like. So. How? Not a bunch of Fortnite fans out here, I guess. I want a better food court. I don't know if you guys have experienced it, and I'm sorry if you have. I just like pizza, and it sparrows.
