This is going to sound so obvious, but it feels like the internet's super, super negative right now. We had some actors on. Yes. It makes me wonder who I would and wouldn't want to have on the China to Laughs. Your idea of them is either going to be even more great or just shattered completely.

I'm going to cancel Karen's or just Karen videos. I get so much anxiety from watching those videos. I don't know if they're real or staged, but it doesn't matter, it hits me the same. So I recorded something yesterday and I think it perfectly sums up what our tour is gonna be like. No.

Oh my God! Wow. Oh my god Wow Abandon your god Because it's time For the Smosh cast Abandon your god Abandon your god Man if they haven't

Seen that sketch They're confused That's okay Then they can watch it They still can do it If they want I think that's my favorite Every blank

In a while Wow Did you write it? But Damien's part was almost entirely improvised. Oh my gosh. So much improv. It was so freaking good, dude. I appreciate that.

Loved it, dude. Thank you. Loved it. It was every substitute ever for those that are in the dark. Yeah. It's a solid one. I wonder if anybody listens to our podcast in the dark. Ooh.

I don't listen to our podcast at all. So I didn't know where I was going with that. I don't know what we're recording right now. Well, welcome to another episode of the podcast. Oh, it's your main girl, Courtney, in the host seat with my two boys, Shania and Demina. That is a demeaning title for me, whose name is Shane. And me, Damien House.

Just kidding, we switched. Speaking of switched, I wore this shirt today. I plan to wear this shirt today. This shirt was all I was wearing today. And then you all of a sudden, out of left field, flipping nowhere,

match me. It's a popular color. That's what we do. For those at home listening but not watching, what are you guys wearing? We're wearing yellow long sleeves. I'm wearing a yellow hoodie. It's a dandelion yellow.

Dandelion yellow. Mine has Naruto on the front. It's an Ichiraku ramen, I believe. Or Ichiran. Nice. Pretty cool. I love ramen, dude. Yeah, I love Naruto too.

Is Naruto in your top 10 favorite animes? Probably not, but I think I just really enjoyed it at a very specific time in my life, like teenager. It was when I was doing distance learning, so I watched it all day and then sometimes did schoolwork. Nice. It was the first manga I'd ever read. Really? My sister used to read it on a website. It looked like the pages were scanned into the computer.

Yep, did that. And that's how we read it i remember i was um in the allergist's office where i used to get allergy shots and i saw an issue of shonen jump that had a yugioh on the front and i was like oh this is cool and um i didn't realize you're supposed to read right to left at first but once i figured it out it was awesome and they let me take it home i must have been like 13 and i read the yugioh stuff because i was into that at the time and it was super dark like the people don't realize the manga

is like totally different than the cartoon so like Yu-Gi basically kills a person in that episode through like a tricksy like Saw style game. Yu-Gi smokes crack.

Smokes crack and kills a man. I remember in those manga books it would remind you to go that way. Yeah, go this way. So it was like I don't know, it was dope and so in that same issue

I ended up being introduced to Shaman King, Naruto, One Piece. One Piece. I don't know if Dragon Ball dope. And so in that same issue, I ended up being introduced to Shaman King, Naruto, One Piece. One Piece. I don't know if Dragon Ball Z was in it at the time. It might have been. I was into the cartoons probably more so. I only watched Dragon Ball Z.

I didn't read any mangas. I never, I don't think I really have read a manga. I read Akira. Ooh, that's cool. But that's a little different you know because that's that's a more compact series yeah and you know it's older yeah

but but watching I watched a ton of Dragon Ball Z when I was a kid hell yeah loved that and that was like it was like a sports event

yeah between me and my friends because they'd be like did you watch the Frieza fight I was always left out of that maybe that's why I like Dragon Ball Z so much now because I never could as a kid

because on Thursday afternoons when it came on that's when I went to karate oh you're doing actual dragon ball yeah i was just living it like yeah but like real training so even now i just like dragon ball z stuff but i still don't watch it i just like the idea it's a fun it's a fun just thing my sister one of my older sisters she was like the huge nerd of the family she had like a full body cardboard cut out of Legolas in her room. And like whenever my family was watching, I would just kind of sit down and watch whatever they were watching. So a lot of it was One Piece, Naruto, Dragon Ball Z, a lot of Dragon Ball.

I was sexually awakened by one of the characters in Dragon Ball Z. She's like blonde. Android 17. Oh, Android 18. You literally nailed it. The second you said sexually awakened, I was like, I got this. She's like blonde. Android 17. Oh. Or Android 18 I knew. You literally nipped it. The second you said sexually awake and I was like I got this. She's got really straight. I forget her name but the straight blonde hair. Straight blonde hair.

She's got the jean jacket. Marries Krillin. Yeah and then there was like one episode where she had to wash her clothes and the only thing available to wear was like a Playboy bunny bodice thing. Sounds like Dragon Ball Z. Maybe that was Bulma. No no no I think that is Android because like her personality was super like stoic

so it was funny to put her in that. And also very Dragon Ball Z-esque. Got it. Hashtag Master Roshi is cancelled. He's cancelled hardcore. Oh my gosh. He does not work in the year 2020. Nope. How are you guys' tummies

feeling after that lunch I'm feeling okay we ate a ton of McDonald's before this it's a busy day so we had to make it quick yeah

get some Mickey D's I'm like breathing heavily from it still it's the kind of thing where like I know for a fact no shade at McDonald's but just for the way

my specific body works and the type of food I'm used to it will make me feel bad. When you guys were like, we're getting McDonald's, we only have time for that. Do you want anything?

I literally had to weigh like, do I want to wait like six hours to eat or do I want to have a tummy ache? But before, so here we are. Yeah, I rarely ever eat fast food. So it's definitely like a plunge out of my normal stuff. Plunge, like toilet, which you will soon visit. Oh, already dead.

It's handled. She happened. Yeah. I'm feeling okay. Yeah? You know? Yeah. I think maybe in a way it feels good

because I feel like my system's very like, my system moves at a constant pace. When I eat McDonald's, I get to finally have things stop for a minute. Oh, yeah. And it's nice to have, you know, just everything, you know. My system moves at a constant pace. When I eat McDonald's, I get to finally have things stop for a minute. Oh, yeah. And it's nice. It's nice to have, you know, just everything. Oh, it makes you stop.

Everything stops for a bit. I was going to say, I was like, what, does your stomach lining have abs? So, like, even that you can freaking. No, I don't think it's that. It's just that it's like my body's like, what is this? Can we call the supervisor? We need to figure out what the. Hey, Mark, what is this?

It's like, I don't know what that is. I haven't seen that in... Wait, is this like the tales of old? Is this rubber french fries? Sir, we've analyzed it. One of these cows is over 100 years old and the other, brand new. Yet it's all part of the same patty.

Same burger. Same burger. There's over 16,000 cows in a single patty. Oh my God. Yeah. Yeah,000 cows in a single patty. Oh, my God. Yeah. Yeah. I think that's honestly. Nice.

Sometimes literally when I drink soda or whatever, it helps. Yeah, I usually try and order. McDonald's Sprite is like, it hit different, you know? But I didn't get it this time, so my tummy was like. It's so good when you're a kid. Because when you're a little kid, it just doesn't affect you. Your body's just crazy. Or when you're a kid Because when you're a little kid It just doesn't affect you Your body's just crazy Or when you're a kid

You just You hurt all the time anyway That could be it It could be You don't know What normal feels like Yeah Children are in constant pain

Right? I will By the way Today's episode is brought to you By Burger King Yeah Thanks to Burger King Burger King

Use code Burger Burger.king slash smosh. It's not actually. Sorry. Yeah. I thought it was an ad read. That's Kevin, by the way.

Everyone say hi to Kevin. This pod brought to you by Burger King. Burger King, get back to work, peasant. Welcome to Burger Surf. Burger fiefdom. I think also I'm feeling is like we're really getting into preparing for tour. I know you guys talked about that last week. So you got that tummy anxiety?

I do. My anxiety has been like, guess what? I exist like all the time lately and it's kind of a bummer. But I think the tour stuff, it's like excitement and nervousness because like I have a habit of being like when something, when a lot of stuff is happening in a day or in a week, it's like a lot of opportunities for things to go wrong. So brace yourself. Yeah.

And that's what I feel. I'm actually excited for things to go wrong during a show because that's when the funniest stuff is going to happen. The two opposite sides. Yeah. Oh, man. That's so funny. Oh. I don't know, Courtney.

I think anxiety is obviously like a lifelong thing. And I've got some years on you age-wise, but I've been dealing with anxiety my whole life as well. I've noticed like a marked improvement, I think, in how you deal with things. With me? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Oh, definitely. You just seem to roll with the punches a little bit more. So, like, this is a new experience.

You can't expect yourself to be perfect with it right off the bat. But, like, you're kicking butt. That's the thing, though. It's kicking butt. That's the thing though. It's very sweet. And I feel like I, I know what you mean. Like I've definitely gotten better about like, I think I have like a,

what is the word? Anticipatory anxiety. Totally. I have a huge fear of the unknown of like, I don't know what's going to happen. This is a new experience. I don't know how to mentally prepare for something I've never done before. Like, if we're going to Disneyland,

like, that's a big day of a lot of things. I'm like, oh, I kind of need to mentally prepare for, like, all the energy and stuff. But, like, this is something I've never done. I've done live shows. We did Smosh Live. I did school plays and stuff. We had, like, six weeks of rehearsals for that stuff.

So I'm like, I don't know. I think once then we hop into, because we are, you know, I think we talked about this last cast. We're just now sort of starting rehearsals.

We've been writing and like planning things out for a long time, but now we're like getting it up on its feet. So I think once we're like more into that, that's when you'll have

a concrete experience to attach your anxiety to and you'll say, oh, maybe it's not so bad. Oh, it's okay. What if there was like a YouTube tour critic that would like specifically go to YouTubers' tours and just critique their performances and their shows?

What do you think they'd be like? I think they'd be a little something like this. What is that? I'm not sure. Their t-shirts were mildly adequate. I wish we'd get like a Drew Gooden breakdown because when Drew Gooden went to the Jake Paul show and he broke it all down it's so great. It's from a while ago.

Is that when he was like, you're a bully. Is that why he did that? Or is that Cody Code? Drew Gooden literally went and filmed a lot of the show. I need to see that video. Tell me about it. It's really great it's really

funny does he go does he he went he went through yeah like did jake call him a bully did what did jake call drew a bully no no not at all wow i don't think jake was aware of because this was still like jake wasn't entirely sure where he was this was like this was like over a year ago and this was in florida like drew went to his show in florida wow a jake paul show in florida that sounds like it was yeah i mean jake paul's not the same as what he was then but this was when he was at the height wow it's crazy um but yeah we'll get something like that someone will break it down and just absolutely ruin our lives yeah i low-key have been just like not wanting it but kind of just waiting for someone to be like hey

what have these people been doing and like really dissecting our content like no youtuber seems to come at us there's not really well that's because we're not doing anything you know there's nothing crazy about what we're doing like the people that break down are the people who are like are very opinionated online or like doing stuff that's really fake. Our stuff is, we're just doing genuine and we're just like playing games and having fun. Like what can you really pick apart about it? We're in a great position with that too, because we do still end up trending. Like people do know who Smosh is, but we're not like poking anybody's buttons. We're not like making, I mean, if we make fun of people, we do it politely.

It's out of like love, not hate usually, because that's the best way to parody someone. So like, we're not starting beef we don't have like here's the tea on smosh so like right it wouldn't really make sense someone would like legit have to go really out of their way to be like here's the thing about smosh you know no one's no one's picking apart jack's films or gus because like they're not really you know're doing comedy. Like no one's breaking down like comedy accounts, you know, it's, it's, it's more in the line of like, you know, if you're going to be accusing someone of something or whatever, that's when you're getting into that realm. And we just don't, we don't do that. Yeah, that's true.

Yeah. Like Brianna Boho started as a Tana Mongeau parody, like so strongly, but she's become her own thing now, which is kind of funny and even we're making fun of people it's such a like i don't know we come at it from such a different angle you know we're not trying to be mean we're trying to just make comedy out of a situation and yeah like it seems like people for the most part take it really positively yeah like tana mojo is like one of the people that would just like i don, I don't know if she's seen it actually. I know she's seen pictures of like the costumes and stuff. But she's the type that's like, oh, my God, I love this.

It's so funny. Yeah. And if you do something that's not like totally ripping someone apart and you're just playfully poking fun at them and then they take it like, whoa, what are you doing? That's kind of on them. It's like, you know, I say like, if you're big enough to be parodied by like a, like we're, we're a comedy channel.

We have to write comment content that like maybe you haven't seen before, but it's also relatable enough that people are going to actually know about it. So if we're doing something on somebody, then it means like, congratulations, you're big enough to be parodied. Isn't that cool? We're basically the Simpsons.

I mean, no, I mean, we are the Simpsons. I mean. No, I mean. We are the Simpsons of YouTube. I won't say it, but everybody else can. Everyone's thinking. I'll be the damn Castellaneta. Kevin,

Kevin cut the. You know, you know what? I'll give my opinion though on what I think our tour is going to be like. Oh, here comes the tea. So I recorded something yesterday

and I think it perfectly sums up what our tour is going to be like. So I recorded something yesterday and I think it perfectly sums up what our tour is going to be like. So just give this a listen. Oh God. I'm scared. I know what's coming. I'm scared. Now. Where were you? So you guys were out of the office yesterday

so I was just chilling. Oh my God. And I decided, you know, I was like, you know what? I've got some good content that I can... Some good content? And get air in your ass? Dude, if you... The sad reality is, if you were to post that, it would still get more likes than anybody

else's shit. I hate that. Yeah. I hate that. Were you just in the room? I hate that you were reading my diaries that was against our blue sofa

it's turquoise I can't believe you were reading my diaries and farting into your phone you never never let out gas I do it all the time I'm saying

I'm saying I could tell I did it while I was making direct eye contact with Finnerty like mere moments ago he's like hey let me talk to you about something real quick and I was and then he's just like you've definitely we've to you about something real quick. And I was like, huh?

And then he's just like, yeah, man, what's up? We've been in conversation. You've just been like, you'd be like, yeah, so sorry. I just let out a massive fart while staring you in the eyes. Yeah, anyways.

No, I don't do it like that. I say like, yeah, man, it's pretty cool that you went to the place the other day. Like you have to give it its moment.

This is going to be the second podcast in a row and we're talking about poops and farts. I don't want that for us. This is the Smoshcast. Tiny Meat Gang, they've had multiple episodes because they were talking about diarrhea attacks

because apparently there's just like a thing that's happening where people are taking buckets of, you know, and dumping it on people in the streets. It's like a new form of terrorism. Yeah, I heard about the one on Hollywood Boulevard. It was that they called it hot diarrhea. I don't want to hear that. No, we're not going to talk about it.

Don't worry. Go to Tiny Meat Gang to hear about hot buckets of that. Yeah. No, thank you. Hey, by the way, speaking of how tour is going to be like, I did get a tip from somebody the other day about how to sleep on a tour bus. You sleep with your feet facing the front of the bus because apparently if there's ever an issue that jolts you forward,

you like have your feet to brace you or like maybe you break your legs or something, but it's better than breaking your skull. My knees come out my eyes. Yes, that's true. That's really smart. Oh, good to know. There you go. So thank you.

I forget who that was. Yeah. Thank you. I wonder how comfortable we'll be. Not at all. Not at all. I'm not preparing for sleeping at all. Have you guys done a lot of road trips?

I haven't slept on a moving car. I can sleep straight up anywhere, which is nice. I will, no joke, y'all, I filmed a movie, like, way back in the day that was, like,

a week of night shoots, and literally, like, in between scenes, I was like, looks like there's a laundromat right there outside of where we're filming. I'm gonna hop in real quick,

and I just would, like, lay on the counter and, like, fall asleep. Whoa. At, like, three in the morning right there outside of where we're filming. I'm going to hop in real quick. And I just would like lay on the counter and like fall asleep. Whoa. Wow. At like three in the morning in the middle of Atlanta, freezing cold. I'm just like, yep, this is where I sleep now. Wow.

I'll be able to sleep on the bus for sure. But I don't think it's going to be like the best sleep ever. No. You know. My dad, my family did road trips all the time. Really? Like flying was not a thing. And we, my dad had like this.

But your dad was a helicopterist he was a hell that wasn't until a few years ago my boy um but what he did have was a big red suburban with three rows and what he would do is he'd put down the middle row and then the far back rows where he'd sit and so it was like a big limo and we could sleep on the floor. And then he also, this is how dated this is. Okay, guys. He had the little square, like cube TV. Yeah. He'd wedge it between the driver's seat and the passenger's seat. That's awesome. And then we'd put VHSs or plug in a DVD, portable DVD player, and we'd watch.

We had a bunch of those bungee cords. So we'd wrap it, we'd strap it to the passenger seat and watch stuff yeah the TV would perfectly fit in between so we didn't have to wedge it in too much I think one time

we went over some rough train tracks and it fell down and we were like ah Matilda but it would be fun if it took out

your eighth sister Matilda Milo and Otis we always aww what a specific that's a it's like we're getting

a double feature we are back followed by Mil getting a double feature we are back followed by Milo and Otis we're back at Dinosaur Story Dinosaur Story my dad we always watched Matilda like there's so many movies

that my dad would only hear the movie and had never like for years had never seen like Matilda or

or some other movie and he finally watched Matilda like recently and it was so different from how it was in his head after listening to it it's great And he finally watched Matilda like recently and it was so different from how it was in his head after listening to it. It's great, first of all. You've never seen Matilda?

It's great. It's what I would love about like that generation of movies, especially ones aimed toward kids, where like every bit of action had like an orchestration to it. So I don't remember exactly how it goes, but if the kid was like, here, have a carrot, you would hear the music like... Yes. Like that kind of almost early Harry Potter style too.

Oh, yeah. So I'm just like, I wonder what imagery he saw in his head with that. Yeah, I'm very curious. Like the voices of the characters, like the wife and stuff. Yeah. I love road trips. I love the camaraderie that comes along with it. I'm very excited to have summer parties with you guys.

And should I bring movies? Yes. Should I bring Mozilla? But also I'm an introvert and will need me time. And so I'm going to make a little fortress out of my bed. Just like duct tape the outer edges of your bunk. I'm really curious because we have at least seven people. I think there are only three bunks and everybody else has to just sleep standing up like a bat.

Oh. Bats don't sleep standing up. Yeah, but they do if you flip them upside down. That's true. Shane, I'm actually interested in, you and I have room together a lot. Oh, yeah. So I feel like I'm used to everything,

but you're a little bit of a snorer. I am. I'm interested in seeing if anybody hates that. Is it consistent? I feel like... Oh, I'm sure they will. Oh, no. I'm not like hated, but I'm just like...

Hate that. The problem is that, you know, I live alone, so I don't ever know like how consistent it is. I don't know the schedule of it. I don't know what ways I can not snore, you know? You get one of those Breathe Right strips and you shove it way up your butt. Just way up your butt, Shane. You know what?

I never, when we were in Sacramento, I never heard snoring ever. Yeah, that's what's weird is sometimes people will be like, yeah, you weren't snoring at all. And then sometimes it's like, yeah, it was the loudest thing I've ever heard in my entire life. I hope it's okay that I mentioned that too. No, that's fine. It's definitely true. It's not something I try to hide or I'm embarrassed about, you know. I grew up with snoring.

Like my dad snoring down the hall. So I feel like I'll probably just, my brain will be like, yep, I know what this is. And I'll probably be able to keep sleeping. I just, I always listen to like waterfall or rain sounds when I sleep. So I'm just going to bring some good headphones and plop them on.

And then if you, if I can hear the snoring through that, I'll probably just smother you. Hey, welcome to the Smosh Tour. Shane is dead. And nobody knows how it happened. How did it happen? Speaking of which, not the smothering fart. Smothering fart?

Smothering fort. My roommate in college, we bunked our beds so that we had more space in the room, which most people didn't do, but it had the ability to do that. So we used extra duct tape like make sure it was safe. But the mattresses were like super, super thin and malleable. So he slept above me and he would snore wicked hard. So I would literally like put my foot and like aim it toward the smallest back and just go boom.

And like he would literally like boom, like arch his back, sit bolt upright and then fall back and then wouldn't, he wouldn't wake up, but he would stop snoring. So I would literally kick him squat on the back every night i used to snore when i was a kid and my mom not my mom my sister would throw like a stuffed animal at me and that was all it took yeah i wonder we don't know who else is snorers i started a little bit it depends on my position how do you know um because i've woken myself up a couple times recently not like full-on from sleep but like when i'm starting to drift off, I'll just have a moment of like. Yeah, you'll feel this.

And then I'll hear that and I'll be like, what was that? Oh, that was me. See, I wouldn't know. I don't, sound doesn't wake me up really. Oh, you lucky bastard. So when we room together, I would have no idea if you ever did. I don't, but I'm a sleep toots. I sleep toots all the time.

Wow. Like Audible? Oh, audible.com brought to you by Damien Haas's farts. Yes. No, that was a dumb joke. Yes. We have a lot of people like because we have more people

that aren't just like the cast that I'm like, I'm curious. I don't know. Are they going to be sleeping on the bus with us? We're all on the bus. I'm not comfortable with that.

I think, I don't know if there's going to be multiple or like a little motor. I don't know. Do we? Are we going on tour? Is tour happening?

We have a roof. Let them sleep on the roof. Just tie them. The roof of the bus. I demand the nicest bed closest to the bathroom. Oh, yeah. I'm just kidding. Everybody who can't see my face, I'm being sarcastic.

I call the bed furthest from the bathroom because. Ian already called that. Screw him. Did he really? I don't think he did. Realistically, because I do snore, I should probably be as far away from everyone as I can. I don't, God, I don't want to be near the potty. Why not?

Because certain people have expressed their habits around the toiletries. Damn it, man. We've already talked about this last podcast. I know, and that's fine. And Ian was the only one who had an issue with it before, and even he bent and was like, Damien, you are correct. I'm sorry I was such a shit bird. I'm not trying to be a shit bird. I'm not trying to be a shit bird.

No, you're not being a shit bird. I'm just going to open up. You can just open the door and just shit out on the highway. Tell you what, I'm going to go to the bathroom whenever I feel like it. We just got to have some poo-pourri. Thank you. Thank you. It's so easy.

And use it. This is my impression of midnight on the bus. God damn it, Shane. I hate that it's two. I hate that it's two, dude. What happened there is you started it,

there was not enough force, and your cheeks closed back up, and then you were like, no! And then you were like, here comes the second one. Get out of there. It's a double jump.

I hate this. I'm just nervous that I'm going to have time to do my makeup and stuff. I have no doubt. The shows, we're all going to be like, oh man, the shows are going to be awesome, but the bus, by the end of that week, I think we're all going to be like, oh man, the shows are going to be awesome. But the bus, by the end of that week, I think we're all going to hate each other.

Oh. What if we start there? Perfect. And then it's a redemption. And one of us surely dies. My dad's going to multiple shows. That's pretty cool. My family's coming to one of them.

That's so great. Is he having his own meet and greet so I can finally meet him? No. You've met my pop-up. I don't know if that's true. Yeah. Multiple times. Yeah.

You called him Kurt. Yeah, good old Kurt. I know it's Car-lore. It's Car-lore Miller. Car-lore Miller. That's fine. Also some crazy stuff that's going to be happening. What?

Tell us. We just, you know, we've been in that one room for a year now where we're getting kicked out. We're not really kicked out. No, definitely say kicked out. But now we're going to be out with everybody, and we're going to have desks, our own little desks out in the, what do we call that area?

It's Writers Island. The bullpen. Well, we are the Writers Island within the bullpen. Yeah, it's called the bullpen. It's this big, you know, it kind of almost looks like an aircraft hangar. Like, I don't know. It's like a high ceiling warehouse situation but it's pretty

and like it's very cool I mean you guys have seen it in stories and everything I feel like bullpen is just what you define

as like the cubicle area you know what I was I think the biggest opponent to this happening and even I've sort of come around and I'm kind of

stoked about it I'm excited to have a desk I'm excited to have a desk because we have that like weird little one in the cast room right now that we share but even that isn't the most,

you know, the chairs look nice but it's not the most comfortable. It doesn't feel like it's your space. And ours are standing desks. They can be standing. Yes, I will be standing

all the time. I'm excited for me to like, my space is where my mess is and I don't have to worry about anybody else's mess in my space. Yes, anybody else's mess. Anybody else's mess. Nobody else's mess.

Like people who leave mess. Diet Cokes. What? That one wasn't mine and you're referring to one. I never leave Diet Cokes. Uh-oh. Should I not have called it out? Whoa.

Uh-oh. Are we doing call outs? Are we calling each other out for this past year now that it's over? We all left messes. I think that's what's tough about the room is what's that face thing? I'm just like, hey, if we're calling out, then we'll call out. Let's do. But it's like, it's a big room that we, when we have shoe weeks and stuff, it's just everyone in there bringing in their stuff.

We have meals in there. The irony is that the three of us probably made the least mess because people would come for one day and leave all the mess. I would literally have like my computer set up at that mini desk and be like, alright, this 2x2 foot area is my space where I'm going to get my work done. I would leave for 3 minutes and then someone else would show up and there'd be a pile of shirts on top of the computer. I'd be like, that was the one spot you chose?

That you needed that one spot where my computer... There's hangers. There's on the wall. Yeah, no. That's not how we do it here. No. Even I, like, I have a hard time keeping all my stuff together. Like, you guys should see my room on shoot weeks.

I refuse. It's a disaster because I'm like, what do I want? What will I wear? And I'm like, I don't know. And then my makeup's all over one place. And I'm like, when I feel frazzled, you see it in my space. So I'm just, I'm excited that, like, it's my responsibility's my responsibility and like I won't be a bother to anybody else as well. I'm excited, too, because I get to like personalize my space a little bit.

Like the room is fun, but it doesn't have any of our specific personalities. But now that I have a desk, I can put like a little Funko Pop there or something. Yeah, exactly. I can have a fondue pot. Yeah, like or something else. Uh-huh, like a chocolate fountain. Yeah, like a little tiny cannon that I'll shoot at your desk. No, exactly. I can have a fondue pot. You can have a, yeah, like, or something else. Uh-huh, like a chocolate fountain. Like a little tiny cannon that I'll shoot at your desks. No, no.

Yeah, or like something else. No. No. Yeah, that was quite a year, though, in that room. It was fun. It was cool. Yeah, I think it's crazy how much it's changed since we started. I have so many videos on my phone from when I was just that table,

and y'all acting cray-cray. Yeah, we were pretty cray- so many videos in my phone from like when I was just like just that table and y'all acting cray cray. Yeah, we were pretty cray cray back in the day. We were pretty cray cray back in the day. We were pretty crazy. Gone through a lot of rooms. Yeah.

The cast never can really stay in a place. That first defy room in that corner that was like just barely not close enough to a pokey stop and then we got moved

to the other side of that office where it was, there was a pokey stop. And then we got moved to the other side of that office where there was a Pokestop. That was the whole thing. Actually, you would have to come into the Smosh Games room to do the Pokestop. That was one of them, yeah. Smosh Games, shout out to our room.

Those rooms were sweet. They were huge, but they were the messiest. Stuff would just show up. Yeah, people would just dump things there, and we'd be like, okay. And then also your charger is stolen. You're like, okay. Oh, yeah.

Your charger would get stolen every day. Yeah, that was – I think that's what's cool is we – it doesn't seem as much like that anymore. That old office, we'd see an accident every other month on that street. Yeah, that was a dangerous street corner. That was a dangerous street corner. It was literally like no matter what day it was of the week or no matter what time, you would just guarantee at one point you would hear a skrrt and then you'd wait for the, oh, no impact that time.

All right, they got okay. They're okay. And there was always drama. Like there was a hit and run and there was a one where there was a bunch of kids started to run away from their car, but there was a cop right behind their car. And so they all got caught. It was crazy.

It was really crazy. A bunch of hit and runs. Insane. Yeah, it was a crazy road. It's much more chill here in this building. It's a little more incognito. Our website doesn't have our address advertised on it like the previous. Yeah.

Yeah, it's just better. Safety first. Yeah. Safety first. Yeah. Safety first. But I'm excited to be out in the bullpen because I walk around the bullpen a lot anyways. I like bigger spaces. I don't like being in a small room. I enjoy both.

I appreciate both because we could go out there and be social and like there's lots of – I'm using camaraderie, that word, a lot today. But then you could go in that room and it's just kind of quiet and I can be in there with myself. But like I'm excited to, I feel like I'm going to be more productive and like focusing on my own stuff.

For sure, because we're going to have a professional space because our room that we've been in for this past year is designed, it looks more like a lounge space. There's a couch, there's like a coffee table and then like this like, it's not a desk, it's a table with like whatever. It's a couch, there's like a coffee table. And then like this, like, it's not a desk.

It's a table with like whatever. It's a table, it's a conference table. But it's designed, you know, when I'm sitting on a couch, I'm not like, I think for me psychologically, I'm not thinking like, oh, I'm gonna get work done. I'm thinking like, oh, I'm like, I'm sitting down on a couch with friends. Whereas when I have a desk, I'm like, when I'm here,

I'm doing work and I'll leave it. And I, you know. I feel like there are going to be benefits and drawbacks though and again I am excited for this now so I'm more leaning toward the benefits but like yeah

we're going to be productive getting scripts done and stuff like that but I think we lose out a little bit of like you know it was a room where it was just us three and we would talk and joke

all the time get our work done yeah but like it'd be like oh dude that could be a TikTok oh we've got to turn this can I get a story real quick if we're out in the bullpen with everybody there can be some talking but we're not going to be able to do the thing of like let me show you this video on full volume now and let me

oh did you hear about that like people have like almost sassily in a way before like shut our door to be like you gotta stay quiet so now we're out there with them we have to be quiet i think uh yeah it was the foxhole, I feel like, because it would just be us three. And sometimes that was all it was for an entire day. It's gotten different now. Ian hangs out with us more, and he's not holed up in his office as much.

Yeah, I'm excited. I actually bought my own headphones for my computer already. Nice. You need to get some. But the one thing that bothers me, though, is when we give notes on pit videos and stuff, I like to hear it from the laptop speakers because then you can hear the real levels of the music versus the voices well it's not like we can't go out into like a outdoor area or into that room if it's not busy I go outside to check notes on

but then there's like all this wild sound that you're like competing with to hear this video go back into the old cast room if it's no one's using it. I guess, if no one's using it. Because sometimes I'll notice even on videos that are released and it's no one's fault because literally the editing headphones are so nice that the music and the audio from people talking, it sounds good to them. And then when it goes into a different device, it sounds different. I run into that a lot, especially with games videos. And it's literally because to their device, it sounds different. I run into that a lot, especially with games videos.

And it's like literally like that's because to their ears, it sounds good. But then when it goes to like my phone or the laptop, it's like, oh, just a little too loud. So I like to keep an eye on out for that. But we'll see. I think it should be fine. Yeah. We'll be okay. We'll figure it out.

We'll be fine. I just wanted to talk about the benefits and drawbacks. I still think there will be more benefits. I am very excited to have a desk. I need to be able to, like you said, this lounge area has a sofa where y'all sit every day, but I post up at the desk and have my back to you because I still need that kind of structure to it.

For those listening, what's your favorite kind of desk? Mine is none. I love desks. I didn't have anything. I actually have a bad history with desks and moving them uh oh

so you guys better watch out as soon as you have desks they're gonna be in random corners I loved back then when we had desks and we didn't do anything no nobody needed a desk

because nobody did any work yeah we were just hanging out I didn't even have a desk at one point I was like working out of vanity yeah vanity I wonder if people thought that was weird I didn't even have a desk at one point. I was like working out of vanity. Yeah, vanity.

I wonder if people thought that was weird. I'm just like not even looking at my computer. I'm just looking at myself. Yeah, I'm a little nervous, but I think it'll be okay. I think you'll be okay. Yeah, but the desks. I think it's great. I think because we'll have our own spaces, you know,

and I do think that was, for me, I like that. You're a little isolated. Very much so. It'll be fun, though. We'll still make TikToks and stuff. Yeah. Yeah. And we're literally going to be next to each other out there.

That's the problem. Yeah. I wanted to be further away from you guys. Yeah, I know. I wanted to be on the mythical side of the office. I would love that. I would love that. Please, please.

I wanted to work from the Defy office. Yeah. Just in the middle. The empty. The abandoned concrete. Sweet, this is nice. Burned out insides of the department. Hey, we're doing the pod in an hour.

Okay, I'll drive from Beverly Hills. Oh, my God. That's what I do not miss. Oh, my God. That drive killed me. No, thank you, sir. All right. So, yeah, we just had the craziest Try Not To Laugh, like, Smosh pit shoot, Smosh game

shoot we've ever done. 24 videos in five days? 24 videos in five days. 24 videos in five days. Plus podcast? Plus podcast. So 24 plus. That's, but like for how, for on paper, how crazy it sounds, we did okay. Like I felt like I didn't feel as dead and delirious as I thought I would.

My energy was pretty damn good too. And we were doing this in preparation for tour and stuff and all the traveling we're going to be doing. And we do, like, it's not,'s not like something we really try to hide. Like we shoot multiple videos in a day and then we release them when they need to come out. But this was the most unscripted content we'd shot by far, including having some guests on Try Not To Laugh.

Yeah. Which was, we had some YouTubers on, we had some actors on. Yeah, some big names. Yeah, we're excited. The Try Not To Laugh that came out, we shot with Thomas Lennon and Jack, what's his last name? Jack Robbins. Jack Robbins.

That one was shot this last week. Quick turnaround for that. From when we were recording that. Yeah, quick turnaround. Yeah, that was a really cool experience. Like, I watched a lot of Reno 911. Well, kind of. My goal is to work with every single one of them.

Wendy Young Goldberg's working with Thomas Lennon. Nice. Got to work with all of them. That's my goal. It's crazy meeting these people in person after seeing so much of them on a screen acting a certain way. It also makes me wonder who I would and wouldn't want to have on the Try Not To Laugh.

Because it's like you're meeting your idols. So your idea of them is either going to be made even more great or just shattered completely or you never know. Yeah, because we've had guests in the past and no one's ever been a jerk. No one's ever been bad. But we've definitely gotten people who just don't know much about the YouTube world and are kind of like they come into it and they're just like, what is this? What are we doing? You know, and it's like. Are you guys a comedy troupe?

Yeah. You know what I think it is, is like when someone is a bigger name actor like that, they do these kinds of things as like part of a press circuit usually. So it is a very like it's not cold, but it's professional. Like they show up and it's like, all right, so what are we doing? And, you know, any other show would be like, all right, we're going to interview you for 10 minutes. Then we're going to have one segment where a caller calls in and gets to ask you a question. Then we're done. They're like, great.

So this is so much more involved than that average everyday interview. It's like a Jimmy Fallon kind of deal, but maybe even a little more. It is. Do you want to play a game with us for an hour? Think of some bits. Yeah. Well, even like bigger YouTubers, too. Yeah. Like we have. I don't know when the other one's going to come out with the other guests but it's like it's also people that you've been just watching their videos for a long time and then

you're getting to meet them in person so it's like like i if like say we well it's like because we talked about this earlier like if we were to get duane the rock johnson obviously we'd want to do that like are you kidding? It's him. But it's like, then we're meeting our idol. Like, are we shattering this vision, this idea of this person? It does happen, man. Yeah, it does happen. It's a double challenge for us too, because that happens to everybody. But now it's like, we are working with them too.

So you have that sort of twist on what you're expecting and you have to put out something good. Yeah. Yeah, it can be weird. They're all just people. Like, it doesn't hit you what you're expecting and you have to put out something good. Yeah. Yeah, it can be weird. They're all just people. It doesn't hit you until you're there and you're like, oh, you're just a person. Like every single one of them. Or like a busy person.

The star aspect of them is a marketed commercial thing that a team of people has created for the screen. Then when you meet them in person, you're like, oh, you're a regular person. You're not a superhuman like you are made to look like on camera. And that's the case for so many actors. Except for The Rock, who is actually just a superhuman. I wonder if he would make you laugh. Do you think Dwayne The Rock would make you laugh?

I would laugh out of fear. I think because he was a wrestler, I think he would bring great energy to it. Because when we brought the WWE wrestlers, they were just so into it. Because they were just like, yeah, let's just go. That was a really funny episode. They were just very committed and excited. Did I ever tell you my friend's The Rock story?

No. It's my friend's story, so take it or leave it. Didn't happen to me. But he lived in a very, very wealthy part of California. And he said that like one day in his backyard sort of has like a cliff going up. Like his neighborhood is like very hilly. So,

uh, but this backyard is like a cliff face or whatever. So, um, he said he like came outside one day and just heard like, can you smell the rock? And he was like, what?

And he like kept going closer to the sound and it gets louder and louder. And like all these different inflections of, can you smell what the rock is cooking? And he was like, what? And he like kept going closer to the sound and it gets louder and louder and like all these different inflections of, can you smell what the rock is cooking? Or whatever. And he looks up on the cliff and it's Dwayne the Rock Johnson practicing his catchphrase out on top of a cliff to the world. And he's like, oh, I live in this very wealthy

part of California. That, my neighbor, is the rock. Oh, that's hilarious. Oh my goodness. Was he naked? I don't know sure imagine yes for the sake of this story yes and again happened to my friend

I don't think he would ever lie but you don't I don't know but you also brought up a good point though like a lot of times when you meet

these big big actors or musicians or whatever they're constantly so busy they're also constantly dealing with

every person being like oh my god are you that guy oh my god and like they that guy? Oh my god. So it's like a broken record every day. So you meet them and they're just kind of just like tired. So they're not

being a jerk. They're just tired. That has been the case. I've definitely dealt with celebrities where I was like, oh, are they a jerk? And I'm like, no. Looking at this situation, I think they're probably just extremely tired. There was a tweet going around months back of Rami Malek, who's like Mr. Robot,

signing all these things in the middle of the street, and he definitely seems tired. And then as he's signing something for someone, they're like, hey, can I get you on video saying hello to Tessa for her 29th birthday or something like that? He's like, no, no, but I can definitely take a picture with you. And then she was like, oh, yeah, okay. And all the comments were like, what a jerk!

Not doing that video! And I'm like come on man like maybe he's busy and you're asking for like three different things like that's that's his day all day every day there was video of like Harry Styles he was like in some random town and these girls were like you're rich like we traveled this far to come see you you deserve we needed to picture with you and you could

just see this defeated look on Harry Styles face and he like did it but it's like that's so sad that's like they are just people that entitlement nobody owes you anything if you paid a certain amount of money to see a show the thing you got in exchange for that money was the show like so yeah and the creator viewer relationship neither owes anybody anything like as a creator i want to create because i feel good doing it like making my own youtube videos on my own channel i love editing like that's my favorite part of all of it and then i'm obviously like if i'm making something funny then it's like yes i'm doing this because i'm spreading what i think is funny i'm spreading joy or whatever and if people

like it that's awesome then i gave them that joy and they can feel that joy. And like, that's kind of the transaction. And then if they, if they want to leave a comment or like, that is totally like you have the keyboard, not me. Like I'm not trying to, we're definitely in an era where it's kind of like the world is readjusting and figuring that out because there's like Marilyn Monroe, she was the most famous person of her time. And she was the first person to ever be that famous. And nowadays you can know 10 famous people and then a group of people would have no idea who they are because there's so many famous people in the world like in a way there really is a lot of famous people yeah and it's because it's because the internet yeah and and there's just straight the population is bigger there are more platforms to become famous. Some more easily than others.

I TikTok somehow people with zero talent have millions of followers and they are having meet and greets and et cetera. I wonder how many people on Instagram have over a million followers. I think a lot. Like it's people you don't always expect, but sometimes I wonder, and this might be too much of a tangent. I think there's a lot of bots, especially when they're like famous, famous people, because I'm like, yeah,

I don't know if this person is truly the case or not, but if like, say for example, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, if you look at him, I'm assuming he has millions of followers, but I also know if you look at his posts and stuff like that on Twitter, he gets like 200 likes per post. I'm like, all right,

so either you've bought your followers or you are so uninteresting that only 0.00, maybe zero, I didn't do the math, 2% of people actually care what you say. And I think there's the third option because we're now at an age where the internet has been around so long that there are old followers that even Ian, we talk about it with Ian all the time. He has the amount of followers he has, but it, but the likes don't correlate with that at all. And it's just because it's been a long time. But I don't understand that. Who's no longer using Instagram?

They're like, oh, I'm 25. I don't want to use Instagram anymore. It's more like I think when people are like, I want to make 20 Stan accounts. It's like Damien Haas heart and I love Haas and Haas are one, two, three and all that stuff. That's the same person. So I think they just forget about those 20 extra accounts that they made. And then the Instagram algorithm kind of is the nail in the coffin for creators in a way because if you aren't paying attention to someone's content for a while

and you aren't liking or commenting their stuff, it just straight up stops showing up in your feed. It happens to people all the time. I'm like, oh, I follow you, but I haven't seen your stuff. And I go to their profile and they have 10 new posts I haven't seen. I'm like, you got married? And then all of a sudden it's in your feed again. Once you visited their page, it's all over the place.

And when you follow someone, they have four posts in a row on your feed. The next time you go to the homepage, it's crazy. It's interesting. I think that's why it's important to like, you know, I'm on TikTok, but I have no posts or anything yet, but I still have a presence there. That's why it's important to diversify what you're on. Because if you were like, I don't care about Twitter, I don't care about YouTube, I'm fully an Instagram creator.

The second Instagram's algorithm works in a way that doesn't favor you, it's like everything you've built is gone. That's also a struggle too is when there's so many platforms. Am I supposed to be in a YouTube video being like, hi, I'm Courtney, be sure to follow me on here, follow me on Instagram and TikTok and Twitter and Reddit and Discord and like all these things. And it's like, and that point, then what is the relationship with the viewer? Like, why am I giving you this responsibility to like, I don't know.

It's a lot. It's a lot, dude. I don't know how creators do it successfully on every platform. Because for me, it's also about like authenticity. Like it's hard to sit there and be like, I want you to follow me on this and this and this and this and this.

It'd be cooler to say like, I would like to offer you something unique and cool if you go to this one where I can only offer you that thing there. But there's only so much that goes because you only

have so much time in the day to make stuff. I remember when I was on Vine and like I got to a point where I had a second Vine account that was called like i think it was called crotchney and um it was for the stuff i was like i just want to post this because i like it it's not funny it's maybe artistic or whatever because i felt like pressure to keep

the main account to be a specific type of content um and i feel that i feel that with like every platform now i mean tiktok i'm like i don't even know what this is. So like when I'm posting, I don't post on my own at all. I should more, but. I should too. I'm just nervous. What do you do? Like if you start doing one of those dance things is like, am I doing it ironically? And how do people expect that?

Do I, there's a lot of like anime weeb content. Do I start doing that? Like, I don't want to just do everything. And I see a lot of people trying to do the ironic dancing and it doesn't play like it's not funny you're like and now i've seen i'm seeing a lot of female creators that like i've known and kind of interacted with a lot for a while on twitter and stuff now they're starting to legitimately do the tiktok dances and i'm like oh you're there now yeah okay but hey you're you're diversifying what you're doing.

You're changing with the times. I think what I like about our brand is we take those things and we make them weird or we make them crazy. We smoshify them in a way. I like that. So, like, yeah, like we talked about that one TikTok idea that I probably shouldn't. I mean, well, we have done it by the time this podcast comes out. I guess we have to now. Yeah, I guess we have to.

But, yeah, we're just taking one and changing the audio into a crazy voice. Oh, that's right. Yeah, got it. Yeah. Yeah, we can do that. Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's commit. Three, two, one. Believe in your dreams. Believe in your dreams. Believe in your dreams. Do the fart sound effect. Do the fart sound effect.

Shit, shit, shit, shit. Hold on, hold on. I got it. I got it. Don't worry. Don't worry. Oh my god. Make it a text tone. Nice. God got it. I got it. Don't worry. Don't worry. Oh my God. Make it a text tone. Nice. I wish I had one prepared because I wanted to do it over. Dude, I'm going to keep doing this. I'll tell you why I'm doing this is because I need to find, I'm searching for the joke that'll make Gus Johnson laugh on Try Not To Laugh.

It's not going to happen. Look, I know there's, I think he's coming. We're going to have one with him soon. Going to be coming out. And look, I'm going to bring everything I got. Bring everything you got. I don't think you can do it. It's nothing against you.

I think you're funny as hell. I think Gus has a very powerful jaw. I think he's going to laugh, but no water will leave his face. We'll see. We will see. We will see. I will defeat him. I believe in me. When I think about jokes, I will sit up at night thinking about what I could do to make

Jess Johnson laugh. I put on fight song and I just sit there and I just think about what could I do to make this guy laugh. Nice. Yeah. My method's very different from you guys because because I, it's not that I plan it out entirely, but I think I'm like, what's, like, I'll have a

thought, and I'm like, that's funny. Alright, I'm gonna do that. Like, for instance, like, Sassy Leg Infantry. It was just earlier in the week, I was getting out of the shower, and I just started, like, dancing around naked, and I was like, this is really silly. I was like, oh, I'll make a bit out of this. Okay. This is really silly. Were you in the mirror? How did you know it was silly? I was like, this is really silly. I was like, oh, I'll make a bit out of this.

This is really silly. Were you in the mirror? How did you know it was silly? I just was, I saw myself like just moving my legs all silly. And I was like, you know what? Sassy legs.

That's funny. I'll do that. Sassy legs infantry is genius. I can't, I can't do that. Behind enemy lines. What? Look in the mirror?

Yeah, ever. No, it's like, if I, things for me are like so in the moment that like if i if i were to like even sometimes i'll come in with like a one word thought for myself where i'm like this word reminds me of something i said to shane that make him laugh once and i'll like write that down

on my phone but like i can't make things funny if i'm like oh i could build a character out of this throughout the week because when i get up there i get so nervous that I'm like trying to get into that moment of like explaining the character within a second I overdo it and I just it doesn't yeah I can't make it funny the the like I feel like whenever we're in situations where we're coming up with stuff on the fly that's when I'm like I'm laughing so hard at what you're saying and I don't I don't feel like I contribute as much in those situations but with try not to laugh when it's like okay if I can plan just like, even if it's just like five minutes, then I can think of something really funny. But I do need to say,

and you notice it, people probably notice it in videos, like, when I say jokes, it's never just like, it's rarely on the fly. I'll be sitting there, you'll see me kind of smirk to myself, and then I say, it's like, it just takes a second for me to, you know, I'm a slow cooker. Are we okay talking about this, by the way? Sorry, I know it's sort of calling out, sometimes no there's a lot there i won't say

which ones are planned and which ones aren't uh and it's not planned like okay we all talked beforehand it's like so there's just times where i come in and i'm like okay i got something that i know is gonna make damien laugh we'll like record something on our phone like shortly before like i have a i have a notepad if I think of something like the how I came up with Boneless was one sound that I thought was funny and it was

it was and that was that was the voice and I was like okay I'm just gonna use that voice and Boneless became the name I can definitely do stuff like that like

in my phone on that notes page I had like the word bassist ball written down and it was like I bet Shane will laugh at bassist ball and then I saw like the costume backstage and I was like oh I can totally put this together and the word bassist ball written down and it was like I bet Shane will laugh at bassist ball and then I saw like the costume backstage

and I was like oh I can totally put this together and be like ooh bassist ball it's that kind of stuff or I'll write like poetry and I'll be like oh that's right I could say a poem and then I'll put on the hat and I'll be like I'm the boogie man and then say a poem the first duel was like I think it was the most proud I was

of my brain on the fly because that's where goth Horse Girl and Gemini Hogwarts student. Those, I was like, I'm kind of a legend. God. Well, trust that. I don't know. I just trust it. That was quoting a weird inside joke.

That's quoting a time from a party. Yeah. What was it? God, what was that? Where were we? It was something. We were at a barcade. Yeah.

And there was something like you were talking about like an arcade thing. No, I was like, because we had had a couple of drinks and I like was like, yeah, I'm not feeling anything. And they're like, wow, yeah, you don't really seem to like feel alcohol that much. And I was like, yeah, I'm kind of a legend. And then Yasmeen, one of our set designers was like, what did you just say? And then he was like, yeah, you're drunk. Wait, was this my birthday? I think it was at your birthday. Yeah, it was definitely at that did you just say? And then he was like, yeah, you're drunk. Wait, was this at my birthday?

I think it was at your birthday. Yeah, it was definitely at that. You were nearby? I don't think, because I didn't get to make it to your birthday, but it was a work event that everyone was there. Yeah, it was that one,

but it was at the same time. I didn't get to make it to that one. No, I already knew where our friendship lied. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm fake. Girl, you're faker than veneers teeth.

Anybody here have veneers? Called out. Called out. One time I was at a dentist's office and I was just there to like fix a chipped tooth and like get a cleaning. And he was like looking at me and my teeth and he was like, ah, you'll get veneers. It's fine. I was like.

Oh, he was trying to like. I like my teeth, good sir. Insult'll get veneers it's fine i was like oh he's trying to like i like my teeth insult you into buying expensive crap i don't know you don't need yeah get rid of these you don't need these ones and then and then when he fixed the chip tooth that it broke when i got home so i was like okay i'm not going to this time yeah piece of crap i hate that yeah don't insult like i've had doctors insult my body multiple times remember i told you okay so Remember I told you. Okay. So remember I told you guys about the,

how I had to get a steroid shot and the doctor was like, you got no ass. And I was like, what? Oh my God. That's probably a lawsuit. Yeah. No,

you, I don't know. People suck. Yeah. Most people just suck. Oh no. Did I cancel a doctor? No,

you're fine. Speaking of cancel. Oh yeah. Do we want to do cancel a week? No, you're fine. Speaking of cancel. Oh, yeah. Do we want to do cancel a week, Shane? You got something? You got to cancel the week? So Ian pitched this idea called cancel of the week, where we cancel something. Something that's just gone too far.

We're done with it. We're canceling it. For instance, for me, you know what I'm canceling? Like I'm trying to cancel it. The second alarm I set in the morning, I set two alarms, right? Or I set sometimes two or three. I set the first one. It's like, that's like me waking up. Second one is there as a backup in case I don't get up and I fall back asleep. The problem, why it's getting canceled is because it decides perfectly, not, not my plan, not my fault. It decides to go off perfectly once I've gotten in the shower.

Yep. And then it's across the room and I have to dance naked cold at 5 a.m. to shut off my second alarm. God, 5 a.m. Yeah. You know, that's why I like Alexa. Because if I hear that second alarm going off and I go, Alexa, stop! And then it stops and I don't have to even get

out of the shower and do sassy leg infantry. I just keep on going. Smart. You should utilize your Alexa. You kind of just have her in a corner and I'm really talking to her. I never use Alexa. She listens to you quite a bit. But this is my iPhone. Yeah, so I just keep

mine by the bed and I've caught myself treating her too much like a human where the alarm will go off and I'll be like, sorry for the people who have Alexas, by the way, if I'm setting it off. Also change its name so this never becomes an issue again. That's what I did. I was like, Alexa, five more minutes. She's like, I'm sorry. I don't understand. I was like, damn it, you're not my mom.

Well, you can say, Alexa, snooze five minutes. Oh, yeah. I say wake me up in 10 minutes or wake me up in 30. I'm actually very polite to my mom. Well, you can say Alexa, snooze five minutes. Oh, yeah, I say wake me up in ten minutes or wake me up in thirty. I'm actually very polite to my Alexa. I'm always like, I always say thank you because I know it's listening. Mine's rude. And I'll add some sentence structure. You know Jeff

Bezos is listening. Yeah. He is. And just rock hard. I'm all about that face. Just so rock hard on the other end. But no, I'm very polite to my, because when the robots uprise, I want them to know I'm one of the good ones. I want them to know not to mess with me

because my girl, she doesn't listen to me sometimes. I actually had this really cool setup. I have like a space heater in my room and I hooked it up to a wifi plug and it was dope because it connected to Alexa and I could tell her to turn it on and off so I didn't have to get out of bed or I can do it from when I'mlexa and i could tell her to turn it on and off so i didn't have to get out of bed or i can do it from when i'm not home and i want my bedroom to be warm

but then all of a sudden the plug started having a mind of its own so i would tell her to turn it off and she'd do the little to show me she did it and it was not off fire hazard baby so that's not a thing anymore yeah don't trust. I have it hooked up to my ceiling fan lights and I have it hooked up to my Roomba style vacuum. Oh, cool. So I'm just like, but that one you can't be polite with. I'm going to be like,

if I'm like, Alexa, sweep the floor, it's like, I'm sorry, I'm dumb as hell. And then I go like, okay, Alexa, ask D-Bot to sweep floor. Ba-dum. Yeah. And then it gets caught on my sofa. Can you ask him? Alexa, kill me.

Alexa, kill Felicia Rashad. Alexa, end it all. Nice. But like honestly, you don't really need one. I mean, obviously not. But once you get one, you're like this helps me a lot. It's barely convenient. The vacuum thing is terrible.

I would say the lights are the best thing for me so I don't have to get up in the middle of the night. But I also say Alexa lights green while I'm gaming so my room is green. And I match it to whatever game I'm playing. I think part of the reason I don't use mine is because my apartment's very small. It's not like, I don't have to walk that far to do anything.

But you do have to walk. I like it. A nice little stroll through my tiny little place. You don't have to walk that far to do anything. True. But you do have to walk. I like it. I mean. Those sassy legs. A nice little stroll. Gotta use those sassy legs. Through my tiny little place. Are you going to be there long?

Are you moving? Maybe. Really? I might move this year. I don't know. No way. I don't know. That's crazy.

I kind of want a bigger space. I kind of want, I really want like a patio. I want like something outside. Nice. I'd like that. Jinx. Jinx. Jinx.

Jinx. Jinx. Hey, Shane.x, jinx, jinx. Hey, Shane. What's up? How would you like it if I kicked out my roommate and you became my roommate? Yeah, well,

would you guys live together again if that was a thing that came to life? I tried for years and Shane just always has excuses. Maybe. I don't know. It's like I can, I like having my own space.

I do. I definitely love being alone. But seeing our crew, like Taylor and Brennan and Billy and all them, how they have this gorgeous house. It's all lit and they live together and it looks like just the – they're so cool. It makes me miss having roommates when I was living with my Vine friends. It's definitely fun.

But I've definitely gotten accustomed to living by myself. I – yeah. Because, like, listen, the time between getting out of the shower and putting clothes on gets longer and longer every time. And I don't want to deal with anybody seeing that. And yet you were going to adopt cats. They stare. They do. I just, I get They do. I just,

I get to do whatever I want. I can make coffee in just a jockstrap. And her other roommates would just slap the coffee out of her hands.

those would be so funny. Jockstraps are not comfortable. Nobody really wants to do that. Nobody likes jockstraps. No. They're very uncomfortable. They hurt.

They're just man thongs, right? No, because they've got a cup on them. They're different. And the cup hurts. You have to put the cup in the jockstrap. They're very uncomfortable. They hurt. They're just man thongs, right? No, because they've got a cup on them. They're different. And the cup hurts. You have to put the cup in the jock strap. They don't cover the buttocks either.

Yeah, they don't. Whoa, it's like a backpack, but front? It's not comfortable. Yeah. Essentially, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's not comfortable.

It sucks. You guys should try it out. No. Host of the podcast, guys. Are you okay? That's me. Maybe I the podcast, guys. Are you okay? That's me. Maybe I shouldn't be alone. Guys, we need a wellness check on Courtney.

Guys, is Courtney okay? Comment down below if we should be concerned. Come on. Come on. Why can't I make naked jokes? Because it's uncomfortable. Because everybody's nudity should be... Bodies are gross and should be ashamed of.

He's farts on the microphone, dude. Yeah. Girls, why can't we be funny? Girls are funny, but naked bodies are disgusting. Why can't you just laugh at us being naked? Naked bodies are disgusting. All humans should be ashamed of themselves and each other. Also, you can't make coffee while wearing a jockstrap.

That messes up the aromas. You get burned. You get burned. On your peepers. Yeah, exactly. Whatever. Burned on your peepers. Kevin looks so uncomfortable right now.

Kevin, does the word peepers make you feel uncomfortable? Laugh. Is it about being peepers? Yeah. Shut up. Laugh. Was there any other cancels that you wanted to talk about? Yeah.

What are you guys canceling? I'm going to cancel Karen's or just Karen videos. I get so much anxiety from watching those videos of like, I didn't ask for the coffee like that. Where is your manager? And there's so many of them, especially like, I don't know if they're real or staged, but it doesn't matter. It hits me the same.

I can't see them anymore. And it's just swiping through TikTok. All of a sudden it's just like, yes, this has coffee in it. And I can't have that. Do you know what that means? Do you know? Excuse me. Do you know what that means? Do you know? Excuse me. Do you know what that means?

I'm like, I can't. It just hits me so hard because I used to work in retail and I just know that I also didn't even see half of the worst of it. Like, I can't do it. So no more Karen videos. It feels like the internet's like, this is going to sound so obvious, but it feels like the internet's super, super negative right now in that those types of videos are the only things that are ever trending right because it makes everyone feel so good it

makes us feel something makes everybody feel so good it's just a lot of just really bad like just people being awful like those are the things that's like hey everyone watch this person being awful it's like why are we always i think i think what i want to cancel on tiktok is these videos where girls are like this is me catching my toxic friend on camera and it's like the worst acting where you just see the girl being like okay but i wanted to wear red to the party tonight and the girl's like okay well i'm wearing pink and i know like you've always like tried to live in like my shadow like because in all our lives and we've been friends like you can't do that and then you're just like there's all these kids that are

believing this is real i'm like you guys don't know what acting is the top comments are like oh my god I can't believe that happened and then the one after that is like people who think this is real and then three clown emojis and I'm like that's the one I you know it's the same kind of a thing where like it'll be two people looking at the camera and then it'll hear like

I know you cheated on me with Brad or something like that and then the one again bad acting, like wait, what? And it's just like caught her on camera. But also at the same time, that is another example of like,

it's teenagers and they really want to do something scandalous and they haven't learned yet. I did notice an influx of videos too. Sorry. I'm just talking, talking, talking. I did notice an influx of videos on Tik TOK where I'm like,

it's, it's younger people who haven't made anything yet. So that's where it's coming from. But like, you'll watch the whole video and not be entirely sure what they were even trying to do. Like it's shot really well. Like it'll be like a scary video be like, I found this thing in my basement, but there won't be enough parts of traditional story structure for you to be like, I'm not even sure what you were trying to make me think was in the basement, you know, but it shot so well.

What's in the sky. What's in the sky. It's like, not even anything's happening in the sky. And they're like, like for part two. So they have like a lot of like, they have like a lot of raw talent and how to get you to see things and look

at things, but they don't know story structure. So you're just left there. Like how interesting to see a teenager be able to publish this and see, you know, you wouldn't normally see that. It's like the videos you make at home with your friends. This is the stuff that makes me really excited to like if I could be eventually a film high school film teacher, because I like I would hope that like those kids will be like, well, maybe I could do film. And they come in and they can actually learn like what that's like or like put the talents that they have to actual use. I don't know. It's interesting. I don't know. know movies aren't going to exist in 10 years that's true probably

not it's gonna be vr just gonna be vr it's gonna be shane i am spider-man yeah i'm spiderman that's it's gonna be this in 10 years it's just gonna only be that's it kevin seems so disappointed every time that happens is there are you gonna have to bleep that out every time, Kevin? No, it's just I'm going to have to listen to this while I edit this. Right, right. Do we have to cut out me talking about being naked? No. We're going to have to cut this whole podcast.

It's not fair that Tyler Phillips can come out with no shirt on and people are like, ha, ha, ha, ha. But if I did, then there's a Reddit page. I want you to cut out everything except my farts. Can we get a hypercut of Shane's fart? Sure. Well, boys, how are you guys feeling? How did we do?
