I'm a regular person at the end of the day, but like I don't always feel regular. So sometimes like I've got to express that that weirdness. When I'm in a new situation where I don't know anyone, I'm very quiet just because I'm like, I don't what am I going to say? It was hard being the only girl on tour, it was very difficult to, like, make sure that there was time to get ready and, like,
Starting point is 00:01:27 doing the girl get-ready stuff, like, while, like, the guys kind of got to hang out and enjoy the town. I could have gone to college if I had a scholarship, but that would have meant I needed to take a sport or something seriously long ago. It's like, I'm already too late before I realized what would have worked. Weren't too late.
Starting point is 00:01:44 Look, we gotta watch what we say because say because like Courtney, look where you are. This is a workout. This arm's going to be so strong. Oh my gosh. Shane, you totally could. I can't. I really can't. I've tried my whole life.
Starting point is 00:02:00 I never could. All right, Keith, get your shirt back on. It's time for the Smoshcast. All right, Keith, put your clothes on. It's time for the Smosh on. It's time for the Smoshcast. All right, Keith, put your clothes on because it's time for the Smoshcast. It's time for the Smoshcast. Everybody put your shirts on.
Starting point is 00:02:08 It's time for another episode of the Smoshcast. Welcome. But actually though, welcome. Hi. Oh God. It is your girl,
Starting point is 00:02:15 Courtney, the lesbian at this table. Come on. And I'm here with my boys. Come on. Shane Topp and Keith Lee Jr. Can I say Shane and I, we have never done
Starting point is 00:02:23 a podcast together. Yeah, why did it take so long? Which is insane because Shane and I, we have never done a podcast together. Yeah, why did it take so long? Which is insane because you and I talk the most shit. The most shit. Yeah. It's going to be a lot of shit talking today. It's a lot of shit. Welcome to Shit Talk with Keith and Shane.
Starting point is 00:02:32 Come on. What's some poop heads? It's Keith and Shane in the morning. Poop heads. Yeah. Poop heads. Courtney's like, what have I signed up for? Some bullshit.
Starting point is 00:02:46 You done? We're done. I need to help. We're done with our shit. We're done for now. Oh yeah, we'll see, we'll see. For those just listening, you didn't get to hear Keith trying
Starting point is 00:02:56 for a solid five minutes to make armpit farts. Oh, that's gonna be in. That has to be in. He literally had to take his shirt off to do so. I will do any, you guys know I do all the Try Not to Laughs with my shirt off. You really do. I'm used to it.
Starting point is 00:03:07 We never end a Try Not To Laugh without you and Noah naked and wet. Oh, yeah. You know it's a good episode when that happens. Yeah, exactly. Sex sales. That's true. Yeah. Shane, I don't believe you that you can't do an armpit fart.
Starting point is 00:03:20 I feel like your armpit farts would be gnarly. I literally can't. You got to get in there and cup it. You don't have to try now, but I think you need to try on your own time. Hey, little guy. But they're like weak little like. That's okay. They usually are.
Starting point is 00:03:34 Like a tiny train. Like a tiny train just moving along. He wants it to go. It's not an ass. Only so much air can sit in their pit. Shane wants big armpit farts. I need those big armpit farts. Thanks, guys.
Starting point is 00:03:49 Love this episode. Great start. There are people who hate farts, but if you hate farts, then... I like that beforehand we talked about, like, what are we going to talk about on this podcast? Oh, we're going to talk about this and this and this. We get it. She's like, okay, let me try to fart with my arm. We'll talk about that.
Starting point is 00:04:05 Let's break that down for the next hour. No. Oh, my God. This is a mess, and I love it. Yeah. Oh, God. Come on. Wow.
Starting point is 00:04:13 Okay, Keith, welcome. It has been a while since you were on an episode. It's been a while. Yeah, I've missed you, Keith. I've missed the both of you guys. I've missed you very much. Hold on, but you guys got to tell me about tour. You guys just went on tour.
Starting point is 00:04:23 Oh, yeah. We did. This is my first day back literally yeah i actually had to come we had our final show on sunday that sunday in phoenix and then i had to come in literally the next day for a meeting because i'm directing every tiktok ever but uh come on uh yeah i was like not barely even alive just walked in here just in a fog. Oh, I was a zombie. Yeah. Good lord. I was an absolute zombie.
Starting point is 00:04:47 I honestly, like, I really wonder if you would have enjoyed it. What, tour? Like the performing is obviously awesome, but like the sleeping and the- Sleeping on a bus? Sleep, oh, I don't mind that. I'll sleep anywhere, guys.
Starting point is 00:05:00 Okay, guys, you know, I will sleep anywhere. I will sleep underneath this table. And then you guys will be like, Keith, it's time for you to shoot I guess that's true Oh yeah That's true We have caught you
Starting point is 00:05:08 Sleeping under a table before Multiple times Multiple times And you said Shane you say you were able To sleep anywhere usually But Yeah I didn't have
Starting point is 00:05:16 A terrible time It's not that I couldn't See Cause I remember the first night You and Damien said You didn't sleep at all No I think I was just Kind of laying there
Starting point is 00:05:24 The whole time. Yeah. So I feel like for every night for me, I slept, but I never got great sleep. Yeah, it was like kind of dozy, like half sleep. So I would actually fall asleep for the same amount of hours that I usually do most nights. I just was not feeling- Not hitting those REMs. What'd you guys say was like excitement though?
Starting point is 00:05:43 Because it was the first time like going tour for sure. You know what I mean? It's funny that it's so weird because you're on a moving bus in a small bunk that really resembles a coffin once you shut the curtain. There's a curtain that's shut.
Starting point is 00:05:54 There's a curtain. And it's stacked three high. It's like built into the wall. It's not like just a bunk bed. It's like inside the wall. It's like a drawer. It's essentially a drawer with a curtain that you shut
Starting point is 00:06:04 and you Velcro shut. And then you're really in this tiny space and you can't like get up too much or else you'll hit your head. So my next question is, how did it feel to die? Yeah. In the ground. Yeah, we had bottom bunks. So it was like definitely like in the ground dead. Did you guys feel a lot of the shaking of the bus and stuff too?
Starting point is 00:06:22 It would like sometimes you'd be rocking back and forth a little bit. When you're on the bottom bunk, you don't feel that as much. Apparently the top bunks feel the most sway. You feel the most sway, yeah. First night I tried the middle bunk and I was like, yeah, that seems solid for me. Like, I don't know, didn't sleep at all. And like, I think a lot of it is,
Starting point is 00:06:38 I'm sure I was nervous, but then like sound, there's a vent that's like making like a sound. And then when you roll over, like you shift shift you aren't like able to just like roll like you can't like because you might like accidentally fall out roll out of the bunk when you said the word shift i heard the word shit yeah when you roll you shit well when you sleep in a bunk you might just shit your pants no i'm like how was the bathroom process so you couldn't you couldn't drop deuces in that oh you're not allowed you're not allowed but to be but to Oh, you're not allowed. You're not allowed. I probably wouldn't have liked it then. But to be fair, we were only ever on the bus literally for sleeping.
Starting point is 00:07:11 You'd get done with a show. We would get on the bus at like 11 p.m. at night. And then the bus would start moving. You'd go to sleep and you'd wake up at 6 a.m. in another place. Oh, wow. So you weren't, it's not like you're on the bus all day, every day going, you can't take a shit. Like you, it's just when you go to bed.
Starting point is 00:07:28 Yeah. You probably, if you had been there, you'd probably be hella napping. Yeah. Yeah. Like just like anywhere. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:34 We were just tired every day, all day. Coffee was a thing. I was drinking a lot of coffee. Yeah. I was having like, I usually don't, but on the tour,
Starting point is 00:07:44 I would have coffee in the morning and then I'd have coffee in like the afternoon. Yeah, like right before the show kind of. Hold on, how were the actual like dates? Like the kids? I will say that's the most fans we've ever met like in a week. Cause it was like, must've been like a hundred plus
Starting point is 00:08:00 in each town that we got to take photos with and stuff. So at least 500 fans by the end of the week that we met even like i don't even know how many but they were they were honestly all great i think the san diego show was the best i'm sorry yeah it's all right yeah it was really fun like i think a lot of people like because vidcon is a huge commitment right right you like if you want to meet fans you have to commit to this entire trip and like a convention and everything this is just a show where you get to meet the people. So it's like a lot of people got an opportunity that they never had before.
Starting point is 00:08:29 Right, right, right. And it's cool because at VidCon, I always like it felt very humdrum about, oh, we're going to go out and do a Q&A and nothing else. This time we got to do like fans paid to come do a thing, but we actually got to give them something in return. Like a show and like put work into something. Well, and there's freedom on stage too, right? I was trying to have new jokes. We're all trying to have newish stuff for every show. There was one thing that I was doing
Starting point is 00:08:52 at the end of every show where after the show was closing, Finn or Ian would be on stage going, all right, thanks guys. You know, before we end, I want to have a heartfelt moment here. And then I'd come out from the crowd as Courtney freaking Miller.
Starting point is 00:09:05 Of course. And just like go nuts. And it's super fun. It's super fun to be on stage and know, like there's no time limit. There's nobody that's got to come up and use this stage after us. So we can just go wild.
Starting point is 00:09:15 And I'm like, there's nothing stopping me from doing anything. Like, so I would go through the crowds, like giving people high fives and get on stage and just say whatever I wanted. It was really awesome. And then, like I said, the meet and greets beforehand were really cool because the fans are there to just,
Starting point is 00:09:28 they're not there for VidCon to meet a bunch of people. They're there to you. Oh, that's beautiful. And it was venues that were good for what we were doing for the most part. Like, cause remember we did VidCon, Try Not To Laugh on the big VidCon arena. That was difficult.
Starting point is 00:09:41 People couldn't hear us. This was like definitely not the case. So like, it was cool when we'd come out with a character, like I came out as boneless, or you came out with like sassy legs for some shows, like the fans like scream, even if they just hear you. And like, so if they had heard Bobby from the block behind the shade, they would have been like, holy shit.
Starting point is 00:09:58 Oh, they would have freaked out. They knew like obscure, they knew obscure characters too. Yeah, like random ones that were only a thing once. There was a, dude, my favorite. Makes me so happy guys. My favorite. Getting it all right now. So the meet and greets, literally everyone was really cool.
Starting point is 00:10:12 There were like, it was really cool people. I have a favorite though. A favorite? I have a favorite fan that we met. Okay, which one was it? I feel like I know which one. It was in, I think it was in Sacramento. It was this, I wanna say it was like this 13 year this, I want to say it was like this 13-year-old boy.
Starting point is 00:10:27 Super sweet. He was wearing this video game shirt, this very obscure video game called Persona 5. He had headphones on, glasses. And he walks up and his mom was with him. And he walks up, he has this huge smile on his face. And he just walks up to us and he goes, hello, fellow humans. And then just plants there, freezes, doesn't say anything more just just stares at us with a smile on his face and we all kind of like talk at him a little bit where like damien and i are like
Starting point is 00:10:50 oh persona 5 i love that and he's just kind of staring at us just like and we're like dude that's so cool i love your whole ensemble like oh hell like that's awesome you're great man you're great and he's just there like not and then and then his mom's like all right let's let's get a photo and he kind of just like turns around towards camera. We all like get a photo. He has not moved his face or anything. Just stayed perfectly still. And then we get a photo and we're like, all right, it was nice to meet you, man.
Starting point is 00:11:16 He just goes, goodbye, fellow humans and walks away. And I was like, dude, that's awesome. Because like, obviously all fans are like super nervous. I'm like, the way he decided to handle it. I admire him so much to be like, you know what? Huge smile on my face. I'm going to say hello, fellow humans, and goodbye fellow humans. And then I realized when he walked away, I was like, holy crap, that kid
Starting point is 00:11:32 might be a robot. And not even like, just basic programming of like, okay, I programmed this robot that looks like a human to say hello, fellow humans, and goodbye fellow humans, and that's it. I hope people are going to catch him, right? But we're just there like, hey, buddy, how's it going?
Starting point is 00:11:47 What's up? That's awesome. He was so, he was so dope. Cause like, I remember what it's like to be, to be young and be a teenager and be nervous and how I would try to handle those nerves as I would just stumble over everything I'm saying. So I'm like, I love seeing the different ways
Starting point is 00:12:03 people handle nerves. And that was one of my favorites I've ever seen. I think if I was like a 13 year old something meeting my fans, I'd probably just be the silent, just like trying to absorb
Starting point is 00:12:15 with my eyes everything before me. I'm still that way. When I'm in a new situation where I don't know anyone, I'm very quiet. Just because I'm like, I don't, what am I going to say? And you're just absorbing whatever's around you. Yeah, I'm in a new situation where I don't know anyone, I'm very quiet. Just because I'm like, I don't, what am I going to say? And you're just absorbing whatever's around you.
Starting point is 00:12:28 Yeah, I'm that type. You are very quiet. You are very quiet. Yeah. You don't know people. You're like, hey, what's up? How are you? Very like, you know.
Starting point is 00:12:35 Yeah. But even remember like as a kid being at Disneyland and like meeting Belle and just being like silent and just shocked, like just not understanding what's happening. Like this person that I've seen is now in my real life eyes. You're right. It's a lot.
Starting point is 00:12:52 It's a lot. Cause when I've been at Disneyland with my nieces, we'll see, they'll be like, they're like, there's Ariel. And I'll be like, yeah, do you want to go get, do you want to go meet her and get a photo? And they'll be like, no. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:03 Cause they're terrified. And I'm like, oh. Yeah. Some people you just want to appreciate from her and get a photo? And they'll be like, no. Yeah. Because they're terrified. And I'm like, oh. Yeah. Some people you just want to appreciate from afar. From a distance. Yeah. I have a lot of people just like in life. It's like, I see you, boo.
Starting point is 00:13:13 I see you. Yeah. I don't need it. I don't need it in a rat. Right. Right. You cute over there. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:14:20 But now Keith has moved. It's not teleportation. I should never wear all black to this because this is black. And then it's just a head floating. But now Keith has moved. It's not teleportation. I should never wear all black to this because this is a black and then it's just a head floating. And then Shane covers me. It's just a lot. It's kind of funny though. Just a floating head right there.
Starting point is 00:14:33 Why'd you wear all black? Cause I- It is your vibe. It's my vibe. You've always done that. Sometimes I'm just like, you know, like I go through my little emo stages and I'm like, you know what? I'm feeling dark today. I'm gonna wear all black.
Starting point is 00:14:46 Wow. I feel like you've had a, your style's great. I feel like you've had a similar vibe since I've known you. Yeah, there's always like an article or a bit that stays consistent in everyone's wardrobe. Like everyone here. You've always had the cool shades. And the hat.
Starting point is 00:14:59 The hat, a hat, a dad hat especially. Yeah, and like your boot situations always fly. Love my boots, love my boots. I feel like this is actually a good table, us three. I mean, everyone in the squad was always like very into fashion, but you're getting into it more now. I was the one who changed. You got better.
Starting point is 00:15:19 I feel like all of you guys had your thing from the start. I had no idea what I was doing in the beginning. I know, but you still had like a sense of style. I didn't when I started. Shane would wear those one, like boots, those black boots. Palladiums.
Starting point is 00:15:31 Palladiums, yeah. Which are dope, but the problem is I would only wear those every day, all day. No, when Shane turned up his whole style situation, it was like, oh my God, Shane. It was like someone pressed upgrade. Like, I mean, for real, like it was like, oh my God, Shane. It was like someone pressed upgrade. Like, I mean, for real. Like it was like next level.
Starting point is 00:15:47 Shane went from hot to, oh my God, Shane top. Whoa. And I. I have no idea what my style is right now, guys. I'm like having a hard time. Like right now I'm just in a big baggy t-shirt. That's dope. I'm trying baggy clothes now.
Starting point is 00:16:02 No, baggy is dope. Baggy's in. Dude, tie dye and baggy is in. I like baggy on girls for sure. Tie dye is really back in and I dig it. I feel like I, for a long time, was like, I have to show off my good features, so I need to accentuate everything.
Starting point is 00:16:15 But it's like, no, I know what I got. No, baggy's dope. I just shop though, and I'm like, I don't know what I'm looking for anymore. Don't just like, whatever makes, whatever moves you. It doesn for anymore. Don't just like whatever makes whatever moves you. It doesn't matter. Don't take it yourself too seriously in that department. Just do whatever.
Starting point is 00:16:29 I'm reminded every now and then of as a human, you can wear pretty much whatever you want. Whatever. Like unless your work or school has a dress code. But outside of that, you can wear whatever you want. Yeah. And like, so when I go thrifting. Yeah, you've been thrifting i've been this is a thrift find what i'm wearing right now i'm i'm down to just wear some weird stuff might as well
Starting point is 00:16:51 we we do this for a living might as well be weird dress how you feel on the inside courtney you said that earlier that's one thing that i've been trying to practice for a while that's why my style has been getting a little crazier i'll have my friend like get me some like school like thrifted clothes it's awesome like i'm telling you you feel so much better you feel like it gives you uh it's just like it's it's a freedom almost and it's like a it's an expression you know so i feel like you know if i just wear like some regular people clothes you know which i'm a regular person at the end of the day but like i don't always feel regular so sometimes like i've got to express that, that weirdness, that like thing. I feel like I'm all over the place right now.
Starting point is 00:17:28 Yeah. It is really freeing to wear something weird. That means at all moments, you're already taking a risk. So you already feel like you've taken that plunge. So you feel more confident to take more risks. I've noticed when I do that, when I wear something that I'm like in the morning,
Starting point is 00:17:41 I'm like, oh, I don't know if I'm going to wear that. That's crazy. Then I feel like, oh, I can do anything today. For sure. That's a part of like, that's what has happened to me in the last like six months since I've been doing this. Your Instagram has been crazy. Oh, thank you.
Starting point is 00:17:54 It's a bunch of your awesome outfits, dude. Thank you, thank you. I love it. Oh, I love you. I love y'all. You should teach Shane a thing or two. He doesn't gram ever. No, Shane like does the banana thing.
Starting point is 00:18:04 I do silly stuff on my Instagram. Yeah, Shane has his, he has his vibe. I do sometimes post fashion pics. Okay, hold on. Okay, so what we should do. They're insane though. I love to thrift. You love to thrift.
Starting point is 00:18:13 We should go thrift and then like take some cool pictures. We should. That's cute. I think that would be fun. I'm super down for that. Okay. I went thrifting hard this week. Yeah?
Starting point is 00:18:22 What places did you go to? I was in the valley. So I swept up and down the valley and found all sorts of stuff but I need to go to like I need to go to Melrose Flea Market is what I need to do I don't know if that has clothes
Starting point is 00:18:34 or is that the flea market that's on Sundays that's on Sundays and I think they close down at 4 but they have everything and I've gotten a cool Michael Jackson shirt over there
Starting point is 00:18:43 that's awesome I just had to put it up there it was like $10. It was really cool. I got these glasses actually from there. Oh really? $10. Fuck.
Starting point is 00:18:52 Remember those glasses I got for you that just kept breaking like crazy. Yeah, I know they did those, but they were flies. Those are really cool. To those, to those, I really did.
Starting point is 00:19:01 Thank you. To those listening. Cause I know a lot of you are, a lot of our, our listeners are younger dude. Thrifting is Court. To those listening, because I know a lot of you are, a lot of our listeners are younger. Dude, thrifting is the way to go. Go thrifting. Because, man, if you're on a budget, you can still get a whole wardrobe for like 30 bucks.
Starting point is 00:19:14 You can get a lot of stuff. It doesn't, you don't have to spend money to look like me. Exactly, man. I mean, growing up, that was like my wardrobe up until I was like 12 or 13. It was either hand-me-downs or thrifted clothes because that was just like what was affordable. I remember my first pair of skinny jeans ever. And I was like, I'm finally cool. It was a pair of flying monkeys from a thrift store in Thousand Oaks.
Starting point is 00:19:36 And like, yeah, it was crazy. The thrifting, like you can find so much cool stuff there. I love finding like crazy little decorations or like weird quirky like tchotchkes. Yeah. Finding. There's no need to buy plates or glasses from anywhere because you can just get them at thrift stores. I want to.
Starting point is 00:19:50 I just wanted to hold the young Courtney because you just said I just I got some skinny jeans down. Give me a hug little girl. Give me a hug. It was really sad because I'd wear those skinny jeans like every day, but they would eventually lose their skinny, you know, because I'd be running around. And so like laundry, like there's so many of us, so laundry didn't happen very often.
Starting point is 00:20:08 So like girls would look at me and my skinny jeans weren't skinny. And I was like, I don't do laundry. You know a way to do that though? Like you could just dry them, like put them in the dryer. Like, I wish I could have told you when you were 12. Yeah, it's okay. But like, you need to go back in time
Starting point is 00:20:21 and tell teenage Courtney that she can throw her skinny jeans in the dryer. Hello, and she's like, what the, what the, what? We need to go back in time and tell teenage Courtney that she can throw her skinny jeans in the dryer. Hello. And she's like, what the? Like, listen. You must dry your jeans. Throw those skinny jeans in the dryer. What?
Starting point is 00:20:33 Who are you? Don't worry. Peace out. Goodbye. Sorry. I'm burping a lot today, Kevin. I'm sorry. Courtney, you always burp though.
Starting point is 00:20:43 We are used to it. I know, but he doesn't like when I burp on the pod really it's not it's not cute really but it's no it's no you're right like why would i want that right in the microphone i we don't need that here yeah it's fun and casual conversation but not but not on the pot it also makes the microphone smell like Pop-Tarts for the next people to hear. You're bullying me. You're bullying me. Why did you say Pop-Tarts? I don't know. I was trying to think of just something.
Starting point is 00:21:11 No, Pop-Tarts are smelly. Like, I know you haven't had a Pop-Tart, but for you to say that and come off the dome, you are incredible. Pop-Tart, Pop-Tart, bro. I don't know. Pop-Tart. No, that's good. What more do you want?
Starting point is 00:21:22 I eat Pop-Tarts. What more do you want? I do. But you did not eat one this-Tarts. I do. But you did not eat one this morning. And he said that like you ate one this morning. And it was- It's a severe accusation though.
Starting point is 00:21:30 It's so good. It's so good. Yeah. Yeah. Come on, shoot, that was good. Yeah, I'm surprised your brain is still coming up with good shit after a week of frying our brains with improv to the max.
Starting point is 00:21:42 He is not fron- Thinking anymore. He's a robot too. Yeah, I'm not thinking anymore. He's a robot too. Yeah, I'm definitely a robot. That's why I liked that one kid because robot recognized robot. Hello humans. Hello fellow humans.
Starting point is 00:21:55 I think I kind of want to talk about this, but I feel like you might not want to comment on it. It's just like the, there was so many fans giving phone numbers to the boys. What? I never had anyone give me. Well, there was some in the fan phone numbers to the boys. What? I never had anyone give me. Well, there was some in the fan mail that we got after. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:22:13 Yeah, I just like, it was very interesting for me to see the boys, or Damien got a couple. I feel like Damien gets the most. Damien's so, he's so personable, I guess, is that people feel like he feels very approachable, I think, to people, which he is. He really is. And he really cares about the fans fans and stuff so i think he gets more of that yeah he's very inviting i mean we're a very inviting group yeah but damien is just like really just he's got that type of energy yeah this is no dobre brothers meet and greet like
Starting point is 00:22:39 we're very we we hug we whatever i i can't help i couldn't It was the first time that I, I mean, not the first time. I'm sure I felt protected over you guys. It's not like a predatory. I mean, in a way, it kind of is. For me, when I see a fan kind of propose a date, like there was a fan who introduced themselves and gave a phone number. And it's like, if you'd swipe right on me.
Starting point is 00:23:00 And I'm just like, for me, seeing that, it made me uncomfortable to see it so you don't have to come on this year like I don't know how you feel um but I don't it's not it's uncomfortable only because it puts us in a position of like oh I don't I'm sorry I've never met you so I don't I can't and then you feel bad if you're saying giving like any sort of no because it's like I don't want you to feel like this is personal that you're not enough it's just that I actually don't know you. And I guess my advice to people who would give out a number
Starting point is 00:23:28 to someone they're a fan of, I would just highly advise against it because you just don't know them. And look, Damien's a good guy, I'm a good guy. Like I still, the ultimate factor is that you just don't know us and we don't know you. But also there's other people's actors, celebrities, whatever that you give a phone number to.
Starting point is 00:23:44 And they're just, just because they're famous doesn't mean they're trustworthy. And just because you like their content, just because they're cool on camera doesn't mean they're a good person off camera. So be careful. Good job. Really good job. Those girls are very lucky they're giving their phone number to guys like you. Because, I mean, even like I have heard about internet people
Starting point is 00:24:02 just taking advantage of people like that. It's just definitely not like be careful and like and there and there's I just feel like it's kind of I just think it's inappropriate I feel like it's really inappropriate uh like because it's take me if I'm standing at a bar and a guy walks up and he's like hi nice to meet you here's my phone number it's not like for me like that's never gonna happen because like I don't know you. We literally just met just now. And I know it comes from a good, honest place from fans and people.
Starting point is 00:24:33 And, you know, if you're listening and you did this, I don't want you to feel bad that you did this. It's just that it's, yeah, it's tough. And we do have, I think there are rules that we have on us with just working for Smosh and everything. There are guidelines. We can't. Like, we just can't. Yeah. But yeah, it's more, honestly, my thought is always more on the safety for fans of giving out their number.
Starting point is 00:24:56 Like, you just got to be careful. Shane is like a stand-up guy. Like, that is the best way that anybody could have ever put it, honestly. Yeah, because for me, I'm like, I'm upset. I don't like that that's happening to my no but which are right rightfully so like this is like we're all like brothers and sisters here you know what i mean so like the same thing would go for you as well you know what i mean like we all look i was like uh-uh that's not happening it's just like that advice that he came around and like just to let them know because you know
Starting point is 00:25:20 he has a different perspective than you on it yeah it's just like really well put and i feel like he put that he hit the he hit the you know it's just it's understood now yeah it's understood now and i think the i think the fans out there i think they'll appreciate it as well you know what i mean really good advice really good advice there was some crazy fan art and projects that were given to us that one girl spent what she said like 30 plus hours creating what is that thing called where it's like the wax, the plastic things
Starting point is 00:25:47 that you put together and then when you heat it up, it like kind of melts together into a piece of art. Those are the things that were on our desk. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. There's one for you somewhere.
Starting point is 00:25:55 Really? Can I have that? Yeah, yeah, we'll give it to you. Come on, I didn't even see it, guys. They're framed. They're really cool looking. I want that. The fan art's always really,
Starting point is 00:26:03 I'm always really impressed by the fan art fan art is like my favorite like visual arts was my first love doing things like with my hands and everything like art is my first love so whenever i get art i usually like hold on to it and you know all of that it's really cool yeah someone gave me a brianna boho coffee mug and i'm like hell yeah yes yes yeah i love that i'm so I love that. I'm so happy for you guys. I'm so happy for you. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:26:27 It was really fun. I hope, like, that would have been really fun, like, for all of us to do something like that. Like, if anything, it felt, it was hard being the only girl on tour. Touring as a girl is fucking hard. Like, because there wasn't, it was very difficult to like make sure that there was time to get ready and like doing the girl get ready stuff. Like while like the guys kind of got to hang out and enjoy the town, which I was so bummed that I like, it was like, because I'm a girl and I got to do this now, I can't like hang out with my friends or go. It really bugged me. And I got over it. But I-
Starting point is 00:27:05 And I will say, even though like I got some time to explore stuff, there was far less time to do stuff than we thought there was gonna be. A big selling point of this tour was like, man, we're gonna explore all these cities and stuff. It's like, no, you wake up on a bus and you gotta kinda like, you can maybe go get breakfast and see some stuff,
Starting point is 00:27:24 but you're getting up and you're getting ready and you're going every day yeah yeah it's it's it's just work i have a huge amount of respect for youtubers that are doing like months of this or like like i i just wish i could pick tiny meat gang's brains like the what they do i mean their show is like written and it's in a way it's like a two-man stand-up show i mean from what i saw earlier on and then i i want to like find any female youtubers who toured and just like ask them what it was like because it's like it's not like a lady gaga concert that's like everything's rehearsed and planned and there's a makeup artist there it's you're on a bus and then you're in a bat and then you're in a green room that might have a mirror set up or like there we sometimes would get a hotel room
Starting point is 00:28:09 for the day just to be able to shower and like it's tough get makeup it's done i just want to say also guys you guys have to like uh like pat yourselves on the backs because this is the first time you guys have done it and i remember like when we were here all the time we had like had talks about it and to finally see you guys be able to do that. And like, you guys are still alive. Nothing bad happens. You guys got so much love from the fans.
Starting point is 00:28:32 You know what I mean? They love you. You got some numbers, which you really love. Like you guys are here right now. We're back to doing it. Like, I think you guys really have to give yourself credit.
Starting point is 00:28:42 And the team around the Smosh team is incredible. Like you nobody knew what the they were doing you know what i mean but you did it and then you also have to do it without like half the squat there as well so not so you know what i mean like you guys did it and you guys should like really like get round of applause come on clap because that does that is that annoying it's fine okay sorry i'm not gonna do that apparently one homeless person tried to get into the bus in Sacramento. Oh, lit. Well, that's Sacramento, though. Yeah, that was Sacramento.
Starting point is 00:29:10 Our bus was parked near an alley. That was very scary to walk through. That was rough. Discover the exciting action of BetMGM Casino.

Starting point is 00:29:48 The small studio there was just, yeah. There were needles all around and people just like come, yeah, start and stuff. It was not cool. Yeah, it is. Yeah, definitely. Look, been there, done that. It was tough to do Try Not To Laugh sometimes because honestly, Keith, I feel like when you're in Try Not To Laugh, that's when I do my best. Oh, bro, Keith, I feel like when you're in try not to laugh,
Starting point is 00:30:05 that's when I do my best. Oh, bro. Yeah. I feel like, I don't know. I just feel like you, I feel more confident in taking a risk with a joke or trying something new with you. Oh.
Starting point is 00:30:18 Because I just feel like you get, I'll make the dumbest, weirdest jokes and you'll understand it on some sort of level. Shut up, Shane. I mean, no, keep going. Oh, that makes me feel so good. dumbest weirdest jokes and you'll understand it on some sort of level shut up shade i mean no keep going well because when i when i did it a lot of places was uh i do this woman at a bar and i started it with you it's my favorite because i i don't know like there's something funny about it you'd say different stuff every time oh yeah because what it is is i i'll be hitting on you gotta do hitting on you, but then I'll
Starting point is 00:30:45 always order something weird. Because I feel like in a lot of movies or TV shows, a woman orders something crazy. To describe herself in a way. I'll have a whiskey neat. It's like, oh wow, you're badass. So I'd be like, wow, hi there, first time in Seattle. And then I'd be like, can I get
Starting point is 00:31:01 a hose filled with milk? Just dumb stuff. What was the one you did music lyrics And then I'd be like, can I get a hose filled with milk? Dumb stuff. What was the one you did like music lyrics? Oh, I did one where I was like, I was, I was saying something to Damien. I was like, wow, you look very anime. And then I turned, I turned to the bar and I go, yeah, can you do me a favor? Can you defeat them? Your demons and all the non-believers.
Starting point is 00:31:24 And I didn't sing it i just kind of like said it and it's too perfect yeah that was really good i had some dough and i did that bit at most shows but i did different lines different lines every time that was kind of my thing that was the thing like the show it's like half improv half not like with with all the things i mean you want to go in there and have something that you know it's gonna work and like well the problem is you have all that you we didn't have enough room to bring a ton of props it was kind of like we had to figure out what bits we were going to be doing for try not to laugh but also be trying to come up with new stuff without new props yeah it was it was really hard like there was a point where i was like okay brain let's think of something new
Starting point is 00:32:02 and my brain was like nah but not to mention, we've already done like a million of these. I know. Not to mention. We need to get new props and stuff. Not to mention. Yeah, Sarah's excited. She said they're going to get a bunch of new stuff. We need new stuff because God knows we've done plenty with the baby doll.
Starting point is 00:32:18 But it was really sad because it's like, it's one thing. She's still with us. Dude, that baby is messed up at this point. Oh, my God. Does she have all her eyes? I don't think so. Got you. Excuse me, sorry.
Starting point is 00:32:28 Courtney. Sorry. God, Courtney. Kevin, we're sorry. I'll say like the one sad thing was like, because when you're doing a Try Not To Laugh video, it's a bit that's improv or whatever. And then it's, but it's then it's on a video on stage
Starting point is 00:32:41 or like on YouTube forever. And so like when I did one bit and it just killed, you're like, awesome. Now it's gone forever and like temporary. You don't get to see it again. You know what? I'm probably gonna do those bits. A lot of the bits that I did on stage,
Starting point is 00:32:55 I'm gonna do again in videos because I'll do them on like you or Noah, who's never seen it. And then a lot of other people haven't seen it either, but you'll know what's going on. People love a little callback. I was bummed, like, because we didn't think about, like, a no filming or no picture situation. Since it was, like, some of it's planned, some of it's not.
Starting point is 00:33:13 And, like, some of it you really want it to be a surprise. And, like, I remember after the first show, I tweeted being like, hey, guys, like, thank you guys so much for the first show. Please remember not to post any videos or photos and ruin it for the other people and like there are some people who are like genuinely upset that were like well then how are the people who can't go to tour able to enjoy it it's like well this is an exclusive thing like you could have said probably like wait till after yeah wait wait a few days smosh made a tweet or something later that was like looking at like yeah and then people were like now that it's over like i'm posting all this stuff we we do the tour because it is a special experience right right right so for me it's like well like i know it's tough obviously people in new york couldn't come to the west
Starting point is 00:33:53 like oh not at all so far like even tiny meat gang they just they put out an announcement recently where they're like we are canceling this this leg of our tour because we it's time for us to write a new show like we need to make some new content because you guys have seen so much of it already. Even Ian expressed like it's a bummer when we're repeating like stuff, like it doesn't, it loses the flavor to us. It was the thing that was gonna happen though.
Starting point is 00:34:19 Cause Try Not To Laugh is so difficult on its own and then to travel with it is really a lot. And then do it back to back to back because we'll have breaks between, you know, doing it. We might do like two in a day and then have a break. And then, you know, like doing like, you know, maybe, but like to do it back, you guys did five, right? Yeah, five total.
Starting point is 00:34:37 I mean, it's like five days. That's a lot. It's technically two Try Not To Laugh games per show. We'll do a gauntlet at the end. With the fans. Oh wow. We do two rounds of gauntlet at the end. Good lord. And then we do Try Not To Laugh games per show. Yeah, because we'll do a gauntlet at the end. At the end, with the fans. Oh, wow. We do two rounds of gauntlet at the end. Good lord.
Starting point is 00:34:48 And then we do Try Not To Laugh at the beginning. So it was a lot of stuff. The final green room was literally also backstage. Yeah. So all of our props and stuff were packed into this small room with us while we're trying to, like, chill. What? Hold on. I think you were telling me about somebody getting into the green
Starting point is 00:35:05 room like yeah yeah we were we were so we're in Sacramento and oh that's right this mom yes dude we're in Sacramento and can't even be mad and like and like the family get people who brought their family is coming backstage our friends and family
Starting point is 00:35:21 whatever and then this one woman with her with her 12 year old son I think she's like hey can we get a photo can we get a photo yeah this must be a friend or family of someone whose aunt is this yeah and and her and their nephew and so we get a photo with this kid and she's like thank you and then she leaves and we're like hold on was anyone is she anyone's plus one or guess on anyone's guest list and we're like no we're like wow that mom just straight up hustled and knew she was not where she should be
Starting point is 00:35:49 well Ian invited like half of the audience was like Ian's friends but she knew she knew she was backstage and shouldn't be there don't do that but like damn she did that and like she did it and it's great it's funny but I'm also like well we got really did that. And like, she did it and it's great. It's funny, but I'm also like,
Starting point is 00:36:05 well, we got really lucky that it wasn't a murderer. Oh, that's great. Good job. That's so crazy. That's like Tor Chronicles, guys. It's nuts. I think that's one thing.
Starting point is 00:36:18 And she was smart because she in it out. She wasn't there to like linger. She was like there to get a phone and be like, all right, boom, let's go. Oh, her son's just probably there. Like you're not even a phone and be like, all right, boom, let's go. Yeah. Oh, her son is probably there like you're not even like imagine what he's like. Damn, my mom's awesome. Yes. Yes. That's what I'm talking
Starting point is 00:36:31 about. Very dangerous. There was there was a son's going to rob a bank and his mom's going to be like, yeah, I taught you well in out. Get the job done. Don't don't get any eyes on you don't don't act suspicious be super confident you gotta do what you gotta do she was she was damn confident she acted like
Starting point is 00:36:52 she was someone's relative fuck yes i'm all about it yeah i'm all about it she was nice to you guys she got her picture she was like that's not being like but but don't do that nobody else do that do that do not do that guys no yeah I think a couple people will try to do like people
Starting point is 00:37:08 we all want to feel safe too like that's the thing we love everyone but like we sometimes things you know I'm not gonna lie there was like a level
Starting point is 00:37:15 of anxiety like that was carried out through the show it's like you just you hear so many stories and so like I couldn't help
Starting point is 00:37:21 but like even in the best of times still having like in the back of my head like a little bit of like what if something goes wrong? Which show was it with the fire alarm? Oh, San Diego. San Diego, which was the best show because it was so many fans that knew us and we'd met before and they were just ready to have some fun.
Starting point is 00:37:37 But like right before the show was like starting, we were it was like 10 minutes away from going on stage and the fire alarm or like an alarm starts going off and then there's a there's a voice it goes there has been an emergency oh no no leave the building it's a preset recording but like i instantly my heart was pounding i was terrified i would have been done nancy nancy who was with us like kind of taking care of us the whole tour she like she like could tell she's like you're okay she like held me and like as we were we didn't know where to go
Starting point is 00:38:08 Finnerty was like trying to like figure out what to do it was it was real rough it was a fog machine that caused it yeah a fog machine
Starting point is 00:38:14 just triggered the fire alarm but it is scary because honestly a fire I know fire isn't what what we were thinking we weren't thinking fire
Starting point is 00:38:21 and if it said if it said there's a fire we'd all been like oh there's a fire we're fine but we're thinking oh god is someone trying to get backstage or someone yeah someone being dangerous like yeah and that's the thing like for fans listening is just like it's never anything personal but we we're always worried about like oh is there someone in the that we're meeting that could not only harm us but harm the other people there like yeah
Starting point is 00:38:43 so we're just always kind of thinking about that. So like with all of that being said and done and you guys going on tour and everything. And like this brings me back to like, I hate to bring it here, but like the Kobe Bryant passing and everything. Like with him passing and everything that's happening there and just seeing how the world is affected right now. I was just like thinking about my legacy and what i wanted it to be there's only a few deaths that you see that where like everyone around the world is affected and this is one of them and like his legacy is going to be remembered forever and i can tell by the way that everyone's affected and i just i don't know i just how do you guys want to be remembered yeah
Starting point is 00:39:20 that's definitely something that like i even contemplated a bit during the tour is like because that that's a lifestyle i mean our job contemplated a bit during the tour is like because that's a lifestyle. I mean, our job is like a crazy lifestyle where we're really impacting a lot of people around us. Millions, millions, millions. And then like and then the fans that we meet that are like so many of them that are like, hey, you're like actively like improving my mental health with your content. And it's like that feels really good. Or like a girl came up to me and she's like, I was able to come out to my parents because of you.
Starting point is 00:39:48 And I was like, wow. That was really intense. Hot damn. Like that hits you real hard in the feels. And like, I don't know, it's a huge question. How do you want to be remembered? How do you want to be remembered? You know, it's something I can't think about too much
Starting point is 00:40:04 because if you think, if you focus so hard on how you'll be remembered, you end up not, I feel like I would end up not living life because I'd be thinking about that. You're almost overcompensating. Do you think Kobe ever thought about his legacy? Oh, for sure. You think so? For sure. Well, okay. In the realm of when he was playing basketball.
Starting point is 00:40:22 But his whole thing was to be the best. Yeah. That's what he did. But that's that's kobe bryant right but that i think that's the mentality that he wants us all to have regardless wherever we are do you think early on he thought about i think that's an early on thing to think like for for him to get as far as he did and to do that all that he's done he's been thinking that way as since he was a kid you know what i mean like that whole mamba mentality like i mean like that's like some that ain't nothing new that didn't just happen when he was like for sure for sure you know what i mean and it was like he's he thought about it and i'm sure he did a lot of he definitely lived like a better life than like everyone combined you know i mean there's a there are people that
Starting point is 00:41:03 like they want to be remembered just to be remembered. Yeah, yeah. But then there's people like Zendaya when you ask about like their level of fame and it's not just, it's not something a perk to her life. It's a responsibility. So like, I'm sure he met young kids all the time.
Starting point is 00:41:18 Yes, that was someone he was known for. I want to be like you. But he was influencing like even like athletes. You know what I mean? The ones that were like around him. He was like trying to make them better. You know, like I read something where he was talking to Allen Iverson, you know, and everybody was pitting them against each other. But they were actually really cool back in the day.
Starting point is 00:41:36 And it's so crazy because like I didn't see that growing up. I only seen, you know, like the 76ers versus, you know, the Lakers. But like he texted Allen Iverson and he was like yo what are you doing right now and Allen Iverson was like I'm going to the I'm going to the club and then he was like where are you going talking to Kobe he said I'm going to the gym like that's just like you know what I mean and it shows and it shows like the different paths it shows it really shows and it you know I I, you know, slacking so much and just allowing certain things to pass by or not working the way I should. And it really just put me in my place of like, ooh, okay.
Starting point is 00:42:16 Like, quit playing. Quit playing. You know what I mean? Because it's like I'm down to go to a bar and go and have fun. And, like, instead of, like, sitting at at home, like at home writing with my friends, coming up with some like funny sketches or like, do you know like his stuff like that, that really put it in perspective for me.
Starting point is 00:42:32 I think, you know what it reminds me of? It's kind of like, cause the Kobe thing was interesting cause people reacted to it so intensely, right? Especially in LA, there's a lot of people. And you know, I see a lot of comments on Twitter and then there's that part of me that even thinks like, but you didn't know the guy. And yet people are so emotional about it.
Starting point is 00:42:48 I'm like, it's not that they lost someone that they knew personally. They lost something. Something they looked up to. He represented something to them that they feel like they lost. Like, oh, he was my motivation. He was my inspiration, whatever. And so you lose that. And then you're like, oh God, what do I do with that? and it's also a sobering thing when someone that you view as being immortal
Starting point is 00:43:09 oh yeah dies because then it's like it's like wait what he was superman superman can't die if superman dies oh no and i mean there's there's people that i probably don't even realize represent that to me that if they died i'd be like what yeah until until it happens they are people they are people they bleed the same blood that we bleed. They just are seen all the time. But it's an important thing also to remember because this goes to absolutely everyone because obviously for us working in this space,
Starting point is 00:43:35 there are fans who watch us that we represent something to, but also probably for everyone, everyone has a younger sibling or a friend or something that you represent something to. Exactly. And it's important to like recognize that and be responsible for that and it's why it can be so shattering for if you break someone's trust or if you let people down in a certain way of like hey what do you
Starting point is 00:43:54 represent to people you know there's scary moments when you see something like if i'm like watching a movie or like seeing a moment that i'm like man man, that would be so cool to, like, do that thing or create that thing. And then you're like, I should, I need, I would need to get started toward that now. Like, or, like, I need to start working toward that if that's something I really want. And, like, that's scary. Like, it makes me think back to high school when it's like, okay, it's everyone's working on college applications. And I wasn't for some reason i just like obviously i'm a space cadet so i don't even know they're happening but also
Starting point is 00:44:28 i was like i couldn't afford college anyway if i wanted i could have gone to college if i had a scholarship but that would have meant i needed to take a sport or something seriously long ago wasn't your journey i'm already too late before i realized what would have worked weren't too late look we gotta watch what we say because like like, Courtney, look where you are. You know what I mean? Like, we have to really, like, the journey that everyone else was going, like, that wasn't for you. And somehow, some, like, where, like, you knew that wasn't for you. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:44:57 And you could have went down that road and, like, dropped out, done all that. But, like, also, like, look where you are now. Like, your journey is so much more different and so much more compelling uh knowing that you didn't go that route you know what i mean and it's like you didn't miss out on anything you didn't make the wrong choice it's like you made the right one like you're actually like courtney when i look at you you're actually living your dream which is like crazy you know what i mean because like out of all of us in the cast i think you were the one of the only ones that were like you like really into youtube growing up like this is what
Starting point is 00:45:29 you wanted to do growing up you know what i mean like we came in as just in the beginning it's just like straight up actors that like enjoyed creating and stuff but like this is something that you have been watching and to see you actually live in it does that not blow your mind like you are like this is your legacy like you're living it this is weirdly like the perfect frankenstein of my dream it is because like i i was always like i wanted to be an actor or i wanted i want to sing or i want to do music videos i want to write and this job has been weirdly like everything i it has been a while since i thought about that you put in a lot of work just because you didn't go to college you were putting in the same amount of work
Starting point is 00:46:05 as someone who was in college. Right. You were just putting in a different avenue. And I mean, that's the same for- College is not for everyone. Yeah, man, like, I mean, you know. I dropped out, shit. I spent 10 years doing it,
Starting point is 00:46:15 but I think it's a matter of finding that thing you want. And if college is the path, then yeah, put in all your work there. And if it's not, it's fine. It ain't for you, right. But still be putting in that work towards whatever it is that you want right you know and you did that you got it you got it don't worry about your
Starting point is 00:46:30 legacy because it's just going to keep going like this as much as you work and as hard as working as you are it's just you're going to like just fall right into it it's just gonna it's just gonna be like this oh this was oh wow wow It's just a, I'm talking some bullshit. You can also go to college whenever you want. Facts, big facts. You literally can go to college. The only reason I would go to college is to be able to teach.
Starting point is 00:46:52 That's the only thing, to just teach film in high school. I think high school film teacher is like so fun. That looks so fun to me. That's cool, I didn't ever do that. Yeah, that's, I mean, our high school film teacher, lovely man, I adored him. He directed all of our plays, but like he was getting really old. And like, I remember, our high school film teacher, lovely man. I adored him. He directed all of our plays. But, like, he was getting really old.
Starting point is 00:47:07 And, like, I remember, this is, like, literally loved him. Nothing against him. One day, he was talking about the Titanic. He was, like, that was the biggest ship ever made. And we'll never make another ship that big. We're, like, Mr. Hunt, are you sure? We're, like, there's, like, other ships. We were, like, oh, no.
Starting point is 00:47:22 We were talking. We're, like, oh, yeah, there's this cruise ship that is like a replica of the Titanic. And you get to eat what they ate and stuff. And he's like, oh, honey, no, no. They have never been able to make a ship that big again. Oh, no. Pretty soon the ship's like three times the size of the Titanic. And he was like, no, no.
Starting point is 00:47:37 Well, I remember when penicillin was invented. Yeah. There'll never be a medicine as good as penicillin. But like our class, it was a film classin I remember when the cotton slacks were invented If only there were a different type of pants That were better More comfortable than cotton slacks Too bad that hasn't been invented This is stupid
Starting point is 00:48:03 The Oregon Trail been invented. This is stupid. Ah, the Oregon Trail. Probably the best form of transportation I've ever seen. There will never be a better form of transportation. But our class, the thing was, and he was like in one movie forever ago as a cab driver.
Starting point is 00:48:20 He's Jimmy Fallon. He was in Taxi. God damn it. Is that the whole of Queen Latifah? I'm pretty sure. Oh my God. It was very similar to that, bro.
Starting point is 00:48:32 Oh God. But our class was mostly discussing movies and just like learning the history of entertainment. And it wasn't like
Starting point is 00:48:41 what I would like to do. I mean, I already have ideas of the curriculum I'd like to do where it's like there's going to be however many projects in the year like film projects it's like okay this time you're the director okay this time you're the pa like you guys all you learn like set a kit because i feel like a lot of that you just like learn an experience for sure like as a kid you like being able to learn that stuff and like yeah because he would have a film festival every year like where they'd make you'd make a film every quarter and and then
Starting point is 00:49:10 like the best ones would be in this film festival you know what's cool with what you just said about like putting people in different like positions to like learn and everything so your journey is like not everyone like it's not yours like my journey wasn't wasn't yours and yours isn't mine so like I dropped out of college or whatever and I was going to this one college was considered like a performing arts college I thought that if I was going to performing arts college it was like kind of like the high school that I went to and I remember like being there I was just so like unmotivated there and you know like they the the program was just crap beyond that, like even just like as like a minority, as a black guy, I found them teaching me how to be the best like leading white man.
Starting point is 00:49:51 Oh, really? Yes. And I'm just like, well, I'm never going to get roles like this. So should I? I gotta go. I gotta go. And it's just like, you know, like they never taught me how to be the best Keith Lee Jr. junior you know what i mean and that's one thing like that i that's one reason i had to leave i was like yo like i will figure it out on my own before i allow some like person like white or black teach me how to be the the best leading white man i can't be that that's just not me
Starting point is 00:50:21 like i don't have that but if you teach me how to be the best black ass Keith or just Keith Lee Jr. You know what I mean? Let's not even put it on there. But just the best Keith Lee Jr. Like, I would have stuck around, I'm sure. But, you know, dreams different. I think that's what's really cool about, like, what we've all done together is, like, Smosh Pit was, like, I mean, Sketch was Sketch, but, like, Pit was us.
Starting point is 00:50:40 And, like, I think that's something I miss most about having, being around each other every day. I am as funny as I miss most about having being around each other every day. I am as funny as I am whatever on my own, but like, I feel like when we bounce off each other, it's like a whole different experience. And like- It was a controlled chaotic energy. But the people watching loved you for being you.
Starting point is 00:50:58 It wasn't because you acted well in a role, it was because like, even Joven, like he was always the bad guy in the video but it's like yeah yeah yeah we complement each other and like we found our our strengths with each other with any each other that's pretty uh every time i think about that to this day i talk to my like friends like at home like my regular friends about it all the time i'm just like yo like yeah there's just uh something that we've created over these past like five six years that's like it's undeniable it changed us forever it changed us all forever but i don't i don't look i don't want to like look back and be like because they were the golden days but like i don't want to look back
Starting point is 00:51:33 and then be like man i miss when we were like because we're gonna find we'll find our swing and we like want to keep changing yeah yeah and it'll always happen it's just more so like those we were together all the time back then. Yeah, and I also think it is definitely, you look back with rose colored glasses too, because I think what also made those years really fun sometimes was because we worked at Defy and things were insane.
Starting point is 00:51:57 Like things were crappy a lot of days. So when we got into those shoots, we were already so just fed up with everything going on that in those moments, then we just had fun together and we were already just kind of like, who gives a crap? Yeah. We didn't realize what we were doing at the time.
Starting point is 00:52:13 You know? Yeah, no. And I think that's the only, that's why it was great. If we knew what we were doing, it wouldn't have been the same. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:19 Even like it was like fricking weird show ideas or video ideas. It was still like us being like, all right, well, we're going to just mess with each other the whole time. Some of the most, some of the most fun was when Smosh Pit is doing so well now, but there was that phase where like, we thought,
Starting point is 00:52:32 we thought it was going to like die. We were like, well, this, this channel's doing garbage. But that was when we were probably having the most fun. Honestly, like for listeners and stuff, go back and like find those Smosh pit videos from 2017 early 2017 2016 is probably when it's at its weirdest probably yeah i i love it's so crazy like if i'm on i'll be on youtube and i'll be watching other youtubers and then the autoplay will just pick whatever's next and i'm like cleaning or whatever and then sometimes an old video of ours will come on like part two of the shocking liar oh you were the mvp of that video dude that's
Starting point is 00:53:10 one of my favorite vlogs to date you know what i have a problem with that i thank you for that but i was legitimately freaking afraid no dude that's a huge thing too is like i totally understand where you're coming from because there was a lot. We still even kind of have crazy punishment videos sometimes, but I do have a weird level of anxiety of like, why do they want to do this to me? Why are you hurting me? Why do you enjoy this? Why are you laughing at me and I'm crying right now?
Starting point is 00:53:37 This is the thing. I will say right now, I could go for a hot pepper challenge. I would do that. I would do that right now. Honestly. I've been on a spicy kick lately, so I'd actually do that. We should probably bring that back somehow. All right, right now. Let's do that right now. Honestly, I've been on a spicy kick lately. So I'd actually be down.
Starting point is 00:53:46 We should probably bring that back somehow. Let's do it right now. Right now. Good thing, cause I actually, no. I'm like, whoa! I'm like Carolina Reaper right here. No. There's always gonna be those comments on the videos
Starting point is 00:53:58 of like, I miss this chapter. I miss this chapter. And I never wanna be that because there's hard times and good times like throughout all of that and you're right rose colored glasses hell yeah and like yeah i like and you're saying like i'm on my path like you are on your path to keep i believe you've always been and always will be like destined for something amazing because you're too damn talented and i think if there's anything that i would tell you is like just remember your value and keep like like keep letting it this is very cheesy letting it shine
Starting point is 00:54:29 I don't know why that's just the way it came out of my head but like I like cheesy shit yeah I love that keep looking guys what's up it's me corny corny that's what your shirt says it's journey not corny it was uh I got this new corny shirt.
Starting point is 00:54:46 It was Joe Beretta who told me several times, Keith, that he knew you were the most talented entertainer of the whole group. Absolutely. Like just naturally talented. Don't do that. Yeah, it's true, man. Keith, you're a freaking quadruple quintuple threat.
Starting point is 00:55:01 Because you'll hit these moments when you're just like, you just get into it and it's insane. Like, you just go. Thank you, guys. You've said that to me before. That's really sweet. Once you were like, yeah, no matter what our relationship was, you said to me that there was no denying my ability. And like throughout everything, there was no denying your ability.
Starting point is 00:55:19 Yeah, man. Absolutely not. That makes me feel really good, guys. I'm not going to cry because I'm a thug, but that was really nice. The group was really like, it was really interesting how it came together because all of us brought something very different to the table. It was crazy. That's something I will never get over is like we all came from completely different walks of life.
Starting point is 00:55:41 And it was kind of random. Like it wasn't like we were chosen because, oh, Noah brings this type of humor and Courtney brings this. It just happened. It's almost like too perfect. And I almost think, I think a part of it worked because if we hadn't been put in that situation,
Starting point is 00:55:55 I don't know if the five of us were the types that would have ever come together otherwise. And so like Noah and Olivia would have never like hung out and done videos together had it not been, hey, go into a room and do videos together. None of us. We challenged each other.
Starting point is 00:56:11 Like none of us, none of us. It was like a puzzle that like we were different pieces and we together. From a different puzzles, different pieces from different puzzles we still fit. And like somehow we just fit. Like it's next level. There's a lot of videos that I look at
Starting point is 00:56:23 and like I look back, we do those game videos where it's like okay who can assemble legos into a piece or whatever best right and the reason it would be good was because keith olivia and myself and and noah would change but we would be doing insane just dumb we'd be going against the idea of the video right but the only reason it was funny is because Courtney would be actually doing it properly. And if she wasn't, if it was just all of us being stupid, it would have been just a...
Starting point is 00:56:54 It would have been a stupid video because then we have absolutely nothing to measure it by. But Courtney would actually do it properly and be like, oh, that's how you're supposed to do it. And this is why these three are stupid. The Lego challenge where y'all built like a camera and you're like, oh, you broke the aperture.
Starting point is 00:57:12 I forgot all about that. But yeah, and there'd be a lot of times where like, if it was like the three, if it was you, me and Noah, it would only work because you and me would do some dumb stuff and Noah would be like, no, that's insane. And you guys are dumb. And he'd just roast us. And it wouldn't be funny otherwise.
Starting point is 00:57:28 It wouldn't be funny if Olivia, Olivia's stuff on her own, it would just be weird. But there was me always being like, Olivia, what the hell are you saying and doing? Yeah, you guys really worked well together. Dang, it's so crazy. Oh my God. That's so crazy.
Starting point is 00:57:42 People still bring up the show with no name where you and Noah named myself. And your children. Oh yeah, Chrome. Yeah, all my children. I have celebrity baby names. So the thing is, I always like have, I'll get a new hat and I'll like have the fans
Starting point is 00:57:57 like name it for me. And they're still writing down those K names. That's great. Celebrity bake, exactly. Olivia, of course, threw in knife. Because it made sense. It made sense. I love you guys.
Starting point is 00:58:11 Y'all ready for this? Hide the mythical scent. Sorry, that's not it. We filmed this somewhere else. We filmed this in Hollywood, behind the Hollywood sign. I didn't do nothing. We filmed this with our old Charlie Rose.
Starting point is 00:58:26 Stop. Stop. Okay. All right, gang. It is time for freaking. See, no one else would laugh at that. Only Keith would laugh at that. I'm here for you, brother. I'm here for you.
Starting point is 00:58:35 Thanks, Keith. All right, cute. Okay, shut up. All right. Okay, so guys, it's time for the shoot dude segment. Is that what we're calling it? Yeah, sure. Okay, yo, it's Shoot Dude time.
Starting point is 00:58:46 It's Shoot Dude. Shoot Dude time. Oh, it's Shoot Dude time. Ian randomly came up with that like on the first episode or something. Shoot Dude. Shoot Dude, okay. And so now we're making it into a segment.
Starting point is 00:58:56 Come on. Basically, we tweeted for people to send us some embarrassing stories. Have you ever had a Shoot Dude moment? To shootdude at smosh.com and our writer and our VP Finnerty got locked out of the email so it was tough to get some
Starting point is 00:59:11 emails for today but we still got like a hundred plus stories. So this is already a shoot dude situation. Because this is embarrassing because we wanted to start a new segment and then we messed it up. So shoot dude. We're going to be reading your embarrassing story and reacting relating vibing so this shoot dude moment is from fliss wolf come on at fliss bish they said i was at a water park attempting to get on a donut to roll
Starting point is 00:59:37 down the lazy river i love the lazy river i sort of did a weird leap slash flip slash jump onto it. I managed to stay on, but my bikini bottom, spud pop, did not. Carefully placed hands did not hide my embarrassment. Her pants came down in a water park. Her bikini bottoms came down. So she was just in an inner tube. She was trying to get onto an inner tube for the lazy river. Oh, no. And her pants got stuck, and she flashed the world.
Starting point is 01:00:04 How did her pants get stuck? Probably trying to hop up. Maybe they were just a little too big and she was hopping up on the tube, but they got snagged on the tube and stayed down. That sucks. You got to get bottom set fit. I mean, look, that's how I ride the lazy river. My butt has to be touching water.
Starting point is 01:00:20 Ew. That's the only way it's truly lazy. It's so gross. Isn't that weird for you guys? Remind me never to get into the lazy river with this guy I am so sorry Fliss that that happened to you but that's scary
Starting point is 01:00:32 it's like I've had like where your swimsuit top gets untied on accident in the ocean cause the waves be trying to get you nakey bucky nakey see I don't know that feeling swim trunks isn't it weird have you guys ever been skinny dipping i have actually in high school in high school so this was body of water so this was like
Starting point is 01:00:51 okay so we were in cincinnati and it was this one rich kid like okay so like this run one rich kid i don't remember his name like all of like the cool hipster kids like would go over his house his parents were like scientists or some crazy shit i don't know but i just remember we like were at their house but then they were like guys let's go swimming we weren't drinking but they were like guys let's go swimming and then we just went down some stairs and i mean it was the stairs were so high up just to get down to the piano it was a castle it was incredible so we get down there and then we're just like not drinking, of course, and like just having fun
Starting point is 01:01:28 laughing. Just drinking Hawaiian punch. Right, exactly. It's like in red cups and they're just like, guys, let's go swim. In red cups. Let's go skinny dipping in red cups. And before you know it, like people, they had turned out some of the lights as you know, some people were afraid. Me did not
Starting point is 01:01:43 want anyone to see my little wiener. So like pretty much they turned out the lights and it got to the the lights as you know, some people were afraid. Me did not want anyone to see my little wiener. So like pretty much they turned out the lights and it got to the point where, you know, I kind of like pulled my clothes down. Dang, my parents are going to see this. No, no, no, no. It's okay. It's so long ago.
Starting point is 01:01:56 It's so long ago. So I took it off and I was like, you know, I put my little butt on the concrete and then I like kind of dipped in like that. And then I started swimming in my little wiener, which is like. Yeah. Doesn't that feel weird? Doesn't that feel weird? Being a boy in the that. And then I started swimming in my little wiener, which is like, ooh. Yeah, doesn't that feel weird?
Starting point is 01:02:06 Doesn't that feel weird? Being a boy in the water? It was different, it was different. It's weird. But I definitely stayed away from everybody, you know? I was like, you stay over there, ha ha, make it. She can't see. Yeah, it was great.
Starting point is 01:02:19 Wow, that's fun. I've never been, I've never been. It was fun. I never went skinny dipping, no. It was fun. Let's go. You wanna go skinny dipping? No never been. It was fun. I never went skinny dipping. Let's go. You want to go skinny dipping? No.
Starting point is 01:02:27 No. I'm scared. I'm scared. I'll stay on the other side of the pool. You see, I don't want you by the pool. Lights off, pitch black, pool light off. How many shoot dudes does that earn? That is a shoot dude moment. I'd give that like four out of five shoot dudes.
Starting point is 01:02:41 Accidental nudity? Are you kidding? Bro. In LazyTown or Lazy River in Lazy River so it's like a bunch of people just lazy and they go
Starting point is 01:02:47 ah you excited everybody in that Lazy River I would say I give it one shoot dude because only one look in the Lazy River
Starting point is 01:02:58 no one cares everyone's already lazy they're just kind of like whatever they're just there to relax but if you see some ass up in the sky in Lazy River that's a good old five what is it shoots that's five shoots Everyone's already lazy. They're just kind of like, whatever. They're just there to relax. But if you see some ass up in the sky and lazy rubber,
Starting point is 01:03:05 that's a good old five. What is it? Shoots? That's five shoots. Is it out of five? Five shoot dudes. Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 01:03:11 And also this is the first of many shoot dudes. So I guess that's okay to set the bar pretty low. I also think though, like maybe I'm just, maybe I'm biased because, because working in this industry, being dressed up and not wearing much clothes so often, like I'm just like, eh, nobody cares. But when you're young and a girl.
Starting point is 01:03:31 No, I understand. I'm not saying it's not a shoot dude moment. It's a shoot dude moment. I'm just saying, like, you're fine. Like, no one's really, like, being like, oh, I remember that thing. Oh, my God. It's not a shoot dude. That's a shit fuck. Today's shit fuck moment is brought to you.
Starting point is 01:03:51 I just look. Okay, this is the thing. The water's already going slow. And I just can't imagine somebody's ass. Stop destroying the set. Trying to get into the tube. What if they were perfectly like squeezed underneath the tube and only their ass was coming out of the inner tube? It's like, is that just an ass?
Starting point is 01:04:11 And they were stuck. Like it's like a donut with an ass in the middle. With legs up, legs up like kicking it. Under water. See, there's worse situations. If the inner tube, if you've gotten into the inner tube, your pants were down, you're in the inner tube worse situations If the inner tube If you've gotten Into the inner tube Your pants were down
Starting point is 01:04:27 You're in the inner tube And then the inner tube Flipped over And then you're just Ass up Out of the water Look it's the look This monster
Starting point is 01:04:33 Sorry I know I know For the person Who sent this in I know You're probably embarrassed Whatever
Starting point is 01:04:39 Whatever If this had happened to me If this had happened to me I'd be embarrassed too But then I would later on be laughing about it because it's like yeah you gotta laugh
Starting point is 01:04:48 it's also not your fault you didn't do you didn't do anything wrong no if she did anything wrong with sharing it with all of us now she can yeah see
Starting point is 01:04:57 you brought it to the internet now look now we you come on you can not expect us to laugh you could have kept it at Hurricane Harbor come on
Starting point is 01:05:03 that's look and nobody else would have known. Shoot, dude. But you brought it out. No, it's great. It's super funny. It's a great story. Sorry about that shoot dude moments list, but you're going to be okay and you're going
Starting point is 01:05:14 to be laughing about it. I mean. You will be laughing about it eventually. It's really good. You're probably already. If you're willing to write in about it, you're laughing about it. You're laughing. Look, I hope you're laughing because I'm here.
Starting point is 01:05:24 Can I actually be laughing this off? What? It's funny. It is funny. Funny accidental stuff like that is funny. I just want her to be laughing that I'm laughing. Yeah. Oh, you're fine. You're not making fun of me. We're laughing with you, Fliss. Don't worry.
Starting point is 01:05:39 And also, Keith, I should point out, Keith laughs at everything. Yes. No, that's a good, yeah. I do. Dude, I do. Dude, I still will never forget when it was me, Noah and Keith. This was early on. This is like one of my first weeks at Smosh. And we're eating at this burger place.
Starting point is 01:05:57 We're eating outside. And all of a sudden, this lady crossing the street. She was on her phone. She's not paying attention. She trips on the sidewalk walking. She was on the street walking along the crosswalk. As she comes up to the sidewalk, she just catches She trips on the sidewalk walking. She was on the, she's on the street walking along the crosswalk. As she comes up to the sidewalk, she just catches her foot on the sidewalk.
Starting point is 01:06:10 And I mean, just face plants, face plants. And we're right there, right there. And Keith just points and starts laughing. She was fine. She got up.
Starting point is 01:06:21 She, what made it funny is that she got up super quickly and acted like nothing happened She like got just like just like kept walking and like didn't get up and be like, oh my god Or like it up and be like I'm okay. I'm okay. She just got up and was silent and just started She walked so fast. She definitely shattered a knee. She was just in shock Have you guys seen that that viral video of that late girl? She was like a stripper but she was on like a two-story like stripping pole and she fell down and then she fell down and the girl's like another stripper's like at the edge of the the edge of the stage but when the girl falls down she gets up and starts twerking again that's what it reminded me you gotta own it like that's the thing she kept twerking
Starting point is 01:07:01 and some people started like clapping for like, okay, bitch, like, okay. But then this is the problem. She's like, she has like a GoFundMe now because she had to get surgery on her chin. See, shock will have you messed up. So I'm telling you, that lady fell so hard that she probably shattered an eight.
Starting point is 01:07:18 But like, it was kind of, it's not funny that that happened, but it was, but she hit hard. But I think you gotta laugh at that stuff you gotta laugh at that stuff that's why like making fun of each other for things and laughing eliminates the ability for people to make fun of you yeah
Starting point is 01:07:32 like I said no one's the exception to the rule like it's not like you're laughing at a specific person you're laughing at me yeah yeah you're literally laughing at me sorry and you also have laughed whatever something embarrassing happens to you you laugh at anything. Sorry. And you also have laughed, whatever something embarrassing happens to you, you laugh immediately.
Starting point is 01:07:48 Oh, I don't know what else to do. It's just like, oh, well, I could either cry about this. I also realized Keith, you flashed your butt at all of us when we were shooting a vlog, when we were at the swimming pool. Remember, like, I think that made it into the video. I flashed too many parts. You just like, you like, you like,
Starting point is 01:08:03 Shamu'd out of the water. You free willied and you just, your butt was out. Oh my God. I just wanted y'all to see all this ass. Oh my God. You know what's crazy is, apparently I have like a cousin.
Starting point is 01:08:16 I meet new cousins and new relatives all the time. Oh my God. I know. Mormon life. Hashtag Mormon life. Heath almost fell out of the chair. How did that happen? It's a ghost.
Starting point is 01:08:26 It's a ghost in his bitch. Careful. You fall on the ground, start twerking. Like, I think Keith needs help. Dude, but apparently. That's the signal. One of my cousins that I had met, and she's really cool. She was originally going to come to the Phoenix show.
