We're definitely learning a lot i mean i used to do this all the time when i was in like middle school and high school making those silly videos in my room yeah you're in your element a little bit but i'm rusty i had to set up a camera and then kind of move me away from my camera as i'm running around just yelling that there's bees and And I'm like, if there's people nearby, this is a problem because everyone else is going to run too. I don't think I had a book that I read as a kid that inspired me to be who I am today.
Starting point is 00:01:34 I didn't ever apply any sort of like life lessons from Harry Potter into my life. Like I would never go like, oh, what would Hermione do in this situation? I don't wear sweatpants or any sort of comfort clothing. Every other type of pants is like an aggressive assault on your waistline. And they're like, how long can you stand us digging in? Ooh! You welcome back to me and my boy Smoshcast, it's me. I am an oddball boy and I'm with my three boys.
Starting point is 00:02:10 Here's the Smoshcast. Welcome. Yeah. Presented by Smosh. From the makers of Smosh. Comes Hello Kitty. The Smosh edition. Someone cut me off. I'm not ready to do that yet
Starting point is 00:02:29 I'm not ready to be funny yet no that was great I'm just not feeling it guys we are back at it back on our bullshit same in our rooms I'm actually scared today because they're doing
Starting point is 00:02:44 road work they're doing road work They're like repaving the streets In front of my place And it's shaking my entire building And I'm scared But you're getting a free massage It's true, it's a free massage Free body massage
Starting point is 00:02:57 Usually you have to walk down a creepy alleyway And then someone says, anyone want a massage? And then you go, yes, would. But then you have to go somewhere for that and we're in quarantine. So you had the massage brought to you. So what's the big D? You guys are right. I'm sorry. I shouldn't be so ungrateful. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:16 You ungrateful, ungrateful human. And also you're going to have a brand new spanking road outside. So that's pretty dope. You know, once we're actually able to travel. For next March? Boy, I'm just a selfish asshole, aren't I? You're not not, Lord. God, I just look at the bright side of things, Court.
Starting point is 00:03:32 How are you guys doing? I'm doing awesome, man. I was just thinking about how much sleep I've been getting. Really? What's that like? I have baby hands. It's nice. What? It's really nice. Shane, what is going on? What's on? Oh, hi. Yeah, I'm also doing good.
Starting point is 00:03:47 I'm here. I've just been doing a lot of like thinking, reading. It's been good, you know. Wait a minute, Shane, you have two left hands. That's so weird. That's gonna be... You got me. How did that happen? So that's going to be a treat for the viewers when they see that Shane has tiny hands on.
Starting point is 00:04:10 I just have little tiny hands. It's not a big deal. You know, I think spending a lot of time by myself has had, I've gone through some changes. Particularly having little tiny hands. It's not weird. Shane, honestly, what I thought was going on until a second ago when you explained is that your hands stayed normal. The rest of you grew and your apartment grew because it's all a matter of perspective. I think we've all learned a little something today.
Starting point is 00:04:35 Damien, you present a great point. Thank you. Damien, this just reminded me of, you know what I always forget about? Is your big hands. Me and my big hands I'm gonna rewatch that sketch as soon as So Random comes back to oh it's gonna be on Disney Plus yeah
Starting point is 00:04:51 me and Shane's show that we never shut the hell up about is on Disney Plus but that sketch I always forget about that sketch we talk about Zombieman and Mr. McNamara most of my stuff was very good and very forgettable sounds like my love life right Most of my stuff was very good and very forgettable. Sounds like my love life.
Starting point is 00:05:08 Right? I forgot about that. Well, Shane, speaking of big changes, I'm just going to put myself on blast real quick. I'm blonde again. Oh, shit. Blonde Bort. Blonde Bort back in the court. Spent too much time in the sun.
Starting point is 00:05:24 So literally feels like I'm back in time How's uh what what spurred that on Did you need just like some kind of change While in quarantine or were you Have you been feeling this for a while I was planning to go back to blonde after Australia Like as soon as we got back from Australia And then all this crazy wacko
Starting point is 00:05:40 Stuff happened and then like Oh yeah the germs Yeah the germs happened And you did also need a change after australia after you broke up with that koala yeah that koala was too clingy too clingy all the time that you broke up with when you found out that they eat their mom's poop at birth you went whoa yeah i was like no thanks thanks. Icky. Kooky. I really wanted to get my blue redone after Australia too. And sadly, that ain't happening for a while.
Starting point is 00:06:11 But now more than anything, I just need a haircut. I'm getting all shaggy. And you guys convinced me to do quarantine beard. So I'm doing that too. And now I'm wearing like this hippie ass hoodie. And so I'm just like, hey guys, I'm doing fine in quarantine. Like I just feel like a mess I got a pimple on my forehead my
Starting point is 00:06:28 tummy hurts let's see what else no that's fine he's doing a quarantine beard yeah oh shoot I don't know maybe but also we are filming sketches every week so it's like how much do I really want to commit to that also this is specifically the time where having a beard is less
Starting point is 00:06:44 healthy due to COVID stuff so it's like a little bit spitting in nature's eye this is specifically the time where having a beard is less healthy due to COVID stuff. So it's like a little bit spitting in nature's eye to be like, I'm going to grow a beard. Is that so? It is. That actually makes a lot of sense. Yeah, wasn't your allergies staying in your mustache longer, Shane, or something?
Starting point is 00:06:57 Yeah, my allergies have been horrible. And it's because when I go to the park, I've been noticing as soon as I go to the park and sit down to like, right or whatever, I start sneezing like immediately. Whatever's in the trees right now is killing me. And I get home, I blow my nose. I feel sort of fine. But then throughout the day, I'm sneezing and stuff.
Starting point is 00:07:18 And I'm like, oh, it's because it's in my facial hair. You should stop snarfing on those flowers. Yeah, have you thought about that? Yeah, I need to stop snarfing on those flowers. Yeah, I need to stop snarfing on those flowers. Quit huffing lilies, Shane. Yeah, I need to stop doing cocaine. Have you ever tried like a neti pot? I owned one for a second
Starting point is 00:07:37 and I tried and I failed miserably. I don't know, that stuff kind of, it freaked me out a little bit. Because I started doing it a little bit, but then I read this thing. It was like, it was like, you must use distilled water,
Starting point is 00:07:50 not from the tap. And I was like, oh, why is that? And they're like, oh, because there could be this brain eating amoeba in untreated tap water. And it'll eat your brain.
Starting point is 00:08:01 Yeah. You gotta boil it and boil all the badness out of it. See, that explains a lot. When I think about how many people just aren't that big on hygiene stuff, don't wash certain things, aren't super meticulous about with their hands and stuff, and then I also know that you're putting things inside your sinuses that could go to your brain. I've seen a lot of people just sort of do it. And they're like, no, it's fine.
Starting point is 00:08:24 I've never had a problem. And I'm like, no, it's fine. I've never had a problem. And I'm like, yeah, because you're still here. But like, there are people who die doing the thing you're doing. It's literally like 40 people that have died from it in all the time. It's not huge risk. But that's also not a fun story. Don't put icky tap water in your brain. A net pod is not a thing that i'm willing to die for
Starting point is 00:08:45 like it's just not a process that i'm willing to there's things that i'm willing to take risks on if it's like oh one person might have had a bad i'd be like okay but a neti pot i just don't care it's also just trippy whether i'm using distilled water or not it's just the fact that i'm having water go up into my brain and out my other nostril and then it comes out the other nostril for people that don't know what a neti pot is you tip your head sideways you pour water into this nose and then
Starting point is 00:09:14 out of this nose the water comes out it's like what? the body works that way? once you get used to it it actually feels pretty damn good and at least it's both nose stuff like if you put it in your nose and it like shot out your ear like i'd get that that's weird but nose be notes you know do you ever feel like when you're drinking soup or eating that it goes when you're chewing it goes into your ears oh hey guys can we can we start a separate can we get a separate uh pod
Starting point is 00:09:42 really quick i just need to talk to you no No, that's illegal. I'm hosting. Oh, yeah. Speaking of which, I want to get into the reason why... Oh, the reason why... So, I begged and pleaded and threw a fit to have just a... Not an advice cast, but a good old Q&A cast. I emphasized on Twitter I wanted some show with no name vibes. I want the good old dummy, dummy questions, the Qs,
Starting point is 00:10:09 so we can get the dummy, dummy As. So how do you guys feel about that? Are you guys ready for this? Is that the first Q? You want to get a little dumb? Because my answer is yes. Who sent that question? I feel good.
Starting point is 00:10:20 Your boss, me, the host of the Me and My Boys cast. Whoa. Okay. Do you guys want to begin? Because some of these I think we can just blow right through. It'll be like easy, one word answer, next one. Or some of them we can really get into. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:10:34 Yeah. All right. Yeah. What if we challenged ourselves to answer everything with one word? Yeah. You know what's crazy? I can't remember if Ian or Damien was on the show with no name anymore. I was only on there like three or four times.
Starting point is 00:10:48 Tops, tippy tops. But how many was Ian on? I was only on there like three or four times. Tops or tippy tops. You guys are probably around the same number. What? I gotta say, coming into like, sorry, this is a side note. Coming into like From Games to get to do like pit stuff,
Starting point is 00:11:02 show with no name was always like the rarest treat because it was just so fun. Like I loved your quick little segments. I loved just how like, boom, boom, boom. The show was neat.
Starting point is 00:11:11 It was just like plug and play. It was modular and I could plug in and just totally be a part of it. It was, I don't know. It was fun. So I'm excited for this. It was really fun. We always,
Starting point is 00:11:20 we have a lot of shows like that where it's like, we had a lot of fun doing them, but they just, not everyone loved them and they didn't get the views that we were hoping. Damien Shane show. Cough, cough, cough, cough. Damien Shane show. Well, nature show.
Starting point is 00:11:31 First question. Are you guys ready? Yes. This is from at Faye's butt hair. What has been the weirdest thing you have done in quarantine? So for me, it's probably bleaching my hair or downloading just dance to uh exercise but i realized since you're only holding a controller in one arm one arm gets slightly stronger than the other arm so then i stopped you're like that dude from lady in the
Starting point is 00:11:56 water which only eight people saw there you go you're like a quagmire in that one part. Yeah, the faff arm. Yeah. Single guys be leaving quarantine like Probably for me the two weirdest things have been just filming for Smosh honestly trying to figure out like I'm not the cleanest person. I don't know what my deal is because when I'm in a public space I'm like everything needs to be orderly and fine and then
Starting point is 00:12:24 when I'm home I'm like I'm the trash man so like it's very difficult like setting up shooting spaces I'm very like specific about my angles and stuff I've never done anything like that before I didn't do Vine I was not a TikTok guy like that's been really hard and then also for voiceover um during this quarantine so many things are going to home studios which I do not have my closet is not really set up so that it could work and even my outdoor balcony like there's car traffic outside so I can't use it so I'm completely redoing my downstairs closet to like be a little studio space which Mark my roommate has immediately was like oh yeah totally do it so I'm do you want to steal some of my soundproofing that I don't use?
Starting point is 00:13:06 Wait, legitimately? Yes. That will save me a crap ton of time and money. Isn't that like hard glued to the walls? Like if you rip it off, there's going to be like pieces left. Don't tell him that. Courtney, you just ruined a really good thing for me. I could have had a ceiling.
Starting point is 00:13:20 Finally, a ceiling. That's awesome that you're getting into the rap game. Thanks, man. I do. I am dressed for it right now a little bit. That's awesome that you're getting into the rap game. Thanks, man. I do. I am dressed for it right now a little bit. That's funny. Headphones with the hoodie over it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:31 I'm, I don't know. I'm pre Malone. I like this. I'm gonna do this. Do that. Yeah. Join us guys. Ian, can I have that soundproofing?
Starting point is 00:13:39 If you could find a way to take off all the fricking' spray-on adhesive that was used to put those things on. Spray-on adhesive barely works. I'm shocked it's still up. Anyway. Shane, what's the weirdest thing you've done? Oh, wait, Ian, do you have one? Dude, Courtney, you look so ridiculous. What do you mean?
Starting point is 00:13:56 I look great. I look so cute. You look like Katamari Damacy. Yeah. Yeah. I look adorable. Moving on. All right.
Starting point is 00:14:03 Ian. The weirdest thing I've adorable. Moving on. All right. The weirdest thing I've done. So my neighborhood has now taken it upon themselves. Every time the clock strikes 8 o'clock at night, everyone goes outside of their house and starts cheering. Like, whoo! Was that the video? Yeah, you sent us that, right?
Starting point is 00:14:23 Yeah, I sent you guys a video. Yeah. So I found out like what it is. It's people showing like solidarity for like medical workers and other essential service people. So everyone like goes out onto their like balconies and just like starts like shouting and like cheering and like banging pots and stuff. That's cool. So now I. That sounds really fun.
Starting point is 00:14:44 It is kind of fun. Are they doing it because there are health workers and emergency workers nearby? Or are they just doing it out into the void? Just out into the void. Hoping somewhere out there they hear it. Yeah, I think so. I'm wondering because last night my neighbors were howling
Starting point is 00:15:02 like coyotes. Was it at eight o'clock? I don't remember what time it was at. Are your neighbors coyotes? What you guys got to do in your individual places at eight o'clock, you guys got to start doing it. Try to get everyone going.
Starting point is 00:15:17 That's what I do to LAPD when they're nearby. I bang pots and pans and bark at them and they love it. Well, that's how you get rid of bears. Yeah. Treat paramedics and cops at them and they love it well that's how you get rid of bears so yeah treat paramedics and cops like bears they love it is anybody else just watching kevin by the way this has been delightful oh kevin yeah i can't see him what for those
Starting point is 00:15:45 listening on the pod and watching you know we see each other and talk to each other through Google Hangouts and Kevin
Starting point is 00:15:52 is in there to make sure everything's going alright so we just see him watching and enjoying the show he's our Jan Brady aww everyone's frozen
Starting point is 00:16:02 except for when they talk and everybody froze for a second so Kevin is just That doesn't make sense to me I have the worst internet of us all And I can see you crystal clear I can see your pores
Starting point is 00:16:12 I can tell you which of you need to exfoliate I can see your aura That's cute Shane what's the weirdest thing you've done in quarantine my guy Non smosh related I don't know. Probably, honestly, when I work out, I have such a small apartment. I mean, really, like, over here is, like, my whole apartment, right?
Starting point is 00:16:34 So when I work out, I have to kind of, like, move furniture. And I set up my own little workout space. But because the lighting is so bad in my apartment, I have my blinds pretty much open. So people walking past can just see me shirtless, just like working out or like a jumping rope or whatever, just looking insane. Yeah. From now on, Shane,
Starting point is 00:16:55 whenever somebody sees you and you lock eyes with them, just whisper, welcome to the gun show. And they won't hear you because you're inside. But it's more for you. Unless they're a paramedic or a firefighter or a cop and then I immediately grab my pants
Starting point is 00:17:08 and start yelling. Get out of here. Get out. Get out. But Smosh related, we had to shoot that Animal Crossing video and for that,
Starting point is 00:17:19 I had to go to the park and I had to shoot a scene where I'm running away from bees. uh so you know luckily the park was which was shocking the park was rather empty okay still still i had to set up a camera and then kind of be away from my camera as i'm running around just yelling that there's bees and i'm like if there's people nearby, this is a problem because people are going to think, oh, if there's one person running, swatting at the air saying bees,
Starting point is 00:17:51 bees, everyone else is going to run too. So I was like, this is a real challenge, but I got away with it. It was fine. And then I had some other scenes that I had to shoot where it's just me talking to the camera, just being stupid. And of course, a father and his like five-year-old son come and decide to play catch right next to where I'm filming. And I was just like, come on, like, why'd you do this? I have to say shit and fuck in this. Like, I just felt, I just feel like a psycho filming myself out in public, especially if I don't have anyone else with me.
Starting point is 00:18:21 I don't like doing stuff like that at all. Well, like that. And like, I once very briefly was going to work with a different YouTube channel like seven years ago. And they wanted to become like a prank channel where they're like, just start saying things to people in the mall. And I'm like, I will never do that. I will never. I literally cannot. It makes me feel so uncomfortable.
Starting point is 00:18:38 I have so much respect for Eric Andre and people like that who can just do that. But I cannot. I feel like I somewhat have that ability. I'm never trying to be aggressive or yelling something in someone's face. But I'm definitely able to just pretend that people aren't there and be crazy. That's great. I wish I could. Despite building my whole life around making an ass out of myself in front of millions of people online.
Starting point is 00:19:06 I have a lot of trouble doing that out in public. Like, and like inconveniencing people or bothering people or like being weird out in public. It's hard for me. It's so hard for me. I feel like I get a thrill out of it because it's like, I'm a lot of these people I'm never going to see again.
Starting point is 00:19:23 Like who gives, they don't, I don't care about what they think of me. don't care I don't think anything of them they can scream in front of me and I'll be like nice but so Courtney you're saying you could film scenes where it's isolated where you are just doing your bit yeah in itself I'm also saying like people who go up and fuck with people yeah no that's what I said that's what I said from the get-go I can't do yeah oh that's what we're more talking about, I think. No, I disclaimed that right off the bat
Starting point is 00:19:49 when I was saying that. I could never be the person yelling in people's face. That's invasive. Got it. But if I'm just break dancing in the middle of a mall, You can be in your own room. Or just gently caress and kiss a mannequin. I'm not saying I've never done that. Right. So I would never say that you didn't
Starting point is 00:20:12 do that. Yeah. So that's fine. Everyone's got a pro need tires. I've got a pro car making a weird sound. I've got a pro. Auto repair, we're always there.

And she asks, have you or they ask, have you been washing your clothes at all or are you just living in the same shirts and pants? That's a good question. I will say I'm definitely reusing things a little bit more than I would. I've worn this hoodie a couple of times and hoodies.
Starting point is 00:21:38 I know you can do it, but there's not like a shirt under there. Same with like comfy PJ pants. But everything else has been laundry as usual. I gotta have some normalcy, right? Yeah, all the undergarments that I wear are washed and clean. But as far as like PJ pants, PJ pants, sweaters,
Starting point is 00:21:59 yeah, I reuse those. I would say I'm just about, I'm almost as hygienic as I was before the fall of mankind. That happened way before the coronavirus. Yeah. But I guess I probably shower less. I probably shower a little bit less. And my house is,
Starting point is 00:22:19 I leave things like out on tables longer because I'm like, well, nobody's going to come to my house. So who cares? My routine is very unchanged. I realize like keeping things organized and clean and showering and cleaning my clothes is very much something I do for myself. I like I'll get up. My system's pretty bad right now.
Starting point is 00:22:45 I'll get up. I'll shower. Get ready to like do stuff like this, like the'll get up. My system's pretty bad right now. I'll get up. I'll shower, get ready to like do stuff like this, like the pod, whatever. But then I'll end up working out later. And so I will be going through two pairs of underwear a day. Yeah. Because that's not good. You know, I'll rewear like a shirt. But for the most part, my routine is very much the same as before.
Starting point is 00:23:06 I weirdly in high school, I used to have such a weird thing with how my clothes fit me. Like even if I tried on a pair of shorts in the morning, I'd throw them in the laundry and wash them and dry them again because they weren't that fresh. Yeah, they weren't like tight or that fit. So weird. But nowadays, especially during the quarantine, I'll have a pair of Nike leggings that I ran and worked out in. I will set them aside and be like, I barely use them. I'm going to use them again tomorrow. It's just me. And same with a sports bra.
Starting point is 00:23:39 I'll wear it for two days if I decide not to shower. I'm kind of girls are gross, dude. Dude, you should write another song about that. You should write a song about that. I definitely should. Oh, and dude, Tommy made that Animal Crossing remix of it. So good. So good.
Starting point is 00:23:56 I haven't seen that. I'm going to make some TikToks with it. He made KK Sliders, Girls Are Gross. Literally. Something weird, I realize I don't wear sweatpants or any sort of comfort clothing when I'm home. If I'm by myself all day, I still put on
Starting point is 00:24:16 jeans. I still put on this. I put on a plaid shirt, jeans, like belt. I'm wearing my high school gym shorts right now. You're wearing a belt? I get fully dressed shane you gotta get on the comfort train you should try getting just really doughy as a person and then you don't really have a choice because like i mean i don't know you're very like trim and fit i feel like you are fitting
Starting point is 00:24:41 into clothes exactly as the designer intended for the model in Nicole's catalog. Like when you got a little extra pudge pudge around the middle, these pants are like, oh, thank God. This is all I wanted in my day, in my life. I needed this. Because then every other type of pants is like an aggressive assault on your waistline. And they're like, how long can you stand us digging in? Oh, that's so funny. The literal battle of the bulge.
Starting point is 00:25:09 That's right. I've been wearing a lot of sweatpants. My wing is just too big. I never wear sweatpants. I never. Do you just not like them? Yeah, I don't really like loose fitting clothing. I like, and not necessarily like,
Starting point is 00:25:20 my pants aren't necessarily tight, but I just don't like soft materials on my legs. I like there to feel like there's a little element of protection. Structure. You know, I don't know why. Like if a bee landed on me, I'd have a layer that. You have to be prepared for battle at all times.
Starting point is 00:25:36 Have you guys worn, I think Damien's worn it. Have you guys worn the YouTube robe? The like at home giant. I have worn that occasionally, but not too much. It's an interesting thing. It's not like it's a robe that they mixed with like a comforter on your bed. So it's very specific.
Starting point is 00:25:57 You're like, is it cold as hell? And I'm not gonna see people, but I'm only cold up here. Cool, then great. I'll wear this. Otherwise it's like, let's wear a blanket. But thanks YouTube for giving us the thing. Yeah, I gave it cold up here. Cool. Then great. I'll wear this. Otherwise it's like, let's wear a blanket. But thanks YouTube for giving us the thing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:09 I gave it to my sister. She's been using it a lot. I wore it. I wore it to Iceland and I wore it like in the airports and on the plane. I saw that photo. And I got so freaking sweaty. But like, dude, I got,
Starting point is 00:26:20 I got like legit compliments at the airport. People being like, that's a sick robe. I was like, at the airport. People being like, that's a sick robe. I was like, cool. Was it like, that's a sick robe? Or was it like, huh, sick robe, dude? No, I definitely got some weird looks. And people were trying to figure out what the fuck it was.
Starting point is 00:26:42 Because you don't ever see people just rocking a robe except for Olivia out in public. Yeah, it's an Olivia move. That's why I felt comfortable to do it. If Olivia's done it, then I feel like I have the confidence to do it. And the fans, I think the listeners actually know what we're talking about because we made that TikTok with the robes. Yes, we were all in the robes, yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:55 That was really funny. With the Dolce Vita. Yeah, that song is... I feel like that's like our song. Dolce Vita is like our song, you know? Yeah, no one's ever done it before. I made my first TikTok on my own account. Dude, I saw. Holy smokes.
Starting point is 00:27:10 I felt so silly because I made it thinking I would be able to save it to my phone, send it along, and make it for Smosh. That's clearly a Smosh TikTok. And then that's not a thing you can do in TikTok. You can't save your drafts. You have to publish. And even if you publish privately, it puts your tag on it.
Starting point is 00:27:25 So I, you know, we kept trying to find ways to skirt around it. And eventually I was like, can I just make a different TikTok later? And who runs our social was just like, you know what? This was meant to be your first TikTok.
Starting point is 00:27:35 This is your account. You do it. And I was like, okay. And so, yeah, TikTok's weird with the, with the saving and stuff.
Starting point is 00:27:42 It's like anyone can save anyone's TikTok, but God forbid you save your own. You can't do it. What? I get it, though, because they want you to post on their platform. Because there's the Snapchat problem, right? Because everybody uses Snapchat for the filters, and then they, I don't know a single person who's still on Snapchat, myself included. You take those filters and you post them elsewhere, and that's what TikTok's doing.
Starting point is 00:28:03 They're like, nope, none of that, please. Yeah, the watermark was, it's a really smart, like, marketing business move to be like, yeah, save our stuff. Put it wherever you want. Put our watermarks on it. But, I mean, it also, like, helps promote that person as well. Exactly. It's a double-edged sword. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:21 The watermark is genius. It is really good. Okay, are you guys ready for the next one? Yeah. Okay, I'm gonna keep it on this at home stuff for a little bit longer. So at lovers Larson asks, explain the difference of making videos
Starting point is 00:28:37 in your separate homes than in being the studio. So it's obviously harder. So normally the only way to make these these like sketches work is we'll shoot like six in one week um and then that's all it's so it's like a batch shoot uh and now we're shooting like one a week like we're all given our own assignments and like okay you're gonna shoot this scene you're gonna shoot this scene you're gonna shoot this scene and you kind of get the day to like shoot it and then we'll come back.
Starting point is 00:29:07 So like we haven't been doing like a batch shoot instead we've just been kind of shooting as we go. So that's like the big difference for me. Definitely. But it's like you, I mean, we're able to get more stuff done in a short amount of time because we're all shooting our own thing.
Starting point is 00:29:23 Like we're not all waiting around for like one person to shoot a thing. So I think for me, the big thing is like, I, everybody's good at a lot of different things. And I think Smosh is this really interesting space where so many people are good at all the things like Courtney, for example, you can write, you can direct your funniest hells in acting like with scripted and your funniest hell and unscripted. You've got all the four things.
Starting point is 00:29:45 I feel like I can do the acting stuff. I really enjoy the writing stuff. The directing thing, not built in. So having to figure out camera angles and figuring out what works and there's like a line and there's a rule in filming where you can't cross this 180 degree line. It just doesn't it just doesn't click. It doesn't work. So it's it's a lot more like effortful now not having all those like experts there to like take care of everything for you but i do think the one major benefit is um
Starting point is 00:30:10 because we're filming things weekly we can finally be more timely with our content sometimes when these trends are happening we we miss them we're like well by the time we film it in a couple weeks then edit it we'll get it out two months after the trend has happened we can't do it to be more topical yeah yeah yeah now we're like quarantine sure let's do it you know so i agree i definitely like i miss how things were because it was nice when you could just like i appreciate the compliment damian it's really sweet i think but i feel it's so nice when you can just okay i'm just gonna focus on acting and like that's my thing that I'm going to do today. We're definitely learning a lot. I mean, I used to do this all the time when I was in like middle school and high school,
Starting point is 00:30:51 making those silly videos in my room. You're in your element. A little bit, but I'm rusty. And I mean, now we're getting sent equipment to us now so that we can make things look a little better and make things easier for the editors and stuff i think i just mostly miss there's just so many moments that we have on set we're just like having fun and enjoying it together and i think that's like what i miss most is just like being in the same room with you guys i'm a homie lonely
Starting point is 00:31:20 yeah i'm not a very technically savvy person. So that's been a huge adjustment for me because before on set, yeah, I just had to act. I literally got to go to set, stand in front of the camera, sound, you know, everything would get set up before we were even there. They would do their job. Then we'd come and do our job you know like it was that combo whereas now like i'm uh we're filming a i'm filming a big sketch next week um and yeah i've we're playing director sound camera lighting like i have to fill all those departments that i know nothing about. And it's interesting.
Starting point is 00:32:05 I think the benefit for me is my apartment is so small. I'm given so few options that the decisions are easy. Because I'm kind of like, well, this corner is the only place where I have lighting. So I guess I'm shooting here. But yeah, it's trippy. And it's small things that I get worried about. Like, oh, how long should I roll for before I should cut again? Or whatever. Like, it's small things that i i get worried about like oh how long should i roll for before i should cut again or whatever like it's the or what you said 180 degree line you know
Starting point is 00:32:30 stuff like that that i'm just like i need to keep all these small things in mind yeah i'm just trying to be funny everyone's got a pro need tires i've got a pro car making a weird sound i've got a pro so who's that pro the pros pros at Tread Experts.

I totally like they did their best, but like, you can tell I'm looking way above the raccoon. Sure.
Starting point is 00:33:54 The same thing happened with the ones where I'm like talking to that text bubble. It was like, what we landed on was like, well, look down at the text bubble first, but then you can just sort of talk out to the world. And I was like, okay.
Starting point is 00:34:01 So I literally started being like, whoa, what do you mean? I don't know the, and I like, I didn't even just pick a spot i'm just like it didn't look like it suffered the content suffered too bad but i definitely know what you're talking about yeah that's tricky all right for the next one game yeah man okay all right let's just this would be a quick one um what's what's been your go-to quarantine bin show that's from at mads jo2 love island if you guys don't know yes so love island is a british reality tv show and i think
Starting point is 00:34:34 i started on i started on the most recent season which is sort of an outlier because like everyone is really polite and there's no drama but i'm on season five now the previous one and basically it's a reality show where it's like if you're interested in accents and voiceover and learning that it's a gold mine it's absolutely like all of the uk smashed together right you need subtitles like you literally do you speak english but you don't speak that english um so but it's just like five sexy guys five sexy girls on an island will they find love or will they fight about it but it's just like five sexy guys, five sexy girls on an island. Will they find love or will they fight about it?
Starting point is 00:35:08 And it's like, that's, it's so self-aware. It is like Bachelor times 10. And it's, I don't know. I don't know how to explain it. It's trashy reality TV shows, but it knows. I've heard great things about Love Island. Yeah, everyone's talking about it. It's so good.
Starting point is 00:35:23 It's all on Hulu and it's terrible, but it's good. Oh, it's on Hulu? Hell yeah. Season six is the one I started with. Oh, I might check it out. I'm going to watch it. Me and Ian and Sarah have been chatting, even though we've all finished watching it.
Starting point is 00:35:36 I haven't finished it. Oh, you haven't finished it? No. But Love is Blind on Netflix. I need to start. I think you would really like that one. And YouTube. God.
Starting point is 00:35:44 I haven't started it it's so it's so frustrating like like literally i went in being like these all seem like kind of normal people and and i'm thinking about episode seven or eight and i'm now convinced that aside from uh one woman all the women are crazy like they are psychopaths like they all it's why well you have to think about the type of person who sends an audition tape for a reality show right yeah your sample size is psychos from the start and then producers are going to look through those audition tapes and go who is the craziest this one isn't so much like i'm sure like maybe there is some element of like just
Starting point is 00:36:25 trying to get clout but like this isn't like you can't really win i mean there's a bunch of different couples trying to find their husband and there are people like i won't i won't spoil anything but like it's cool because it's like it's it's not all about one person which i like because it's like everyone's just trying to do well in their own lane but yeah but there's some frustrating ass characters dude what a hell of a first season dude i yeah i think i'm i think i finished episode seven i think there's 10 episodes basically the the whole gist of the show is that um everyone's put in these pods and they can't see the other person and they go on all these dates with all these different people.
Starting point is 00:37:06 And then they have to decide if they want to propose to one of the people. And then if that person they propose to says yes, then they meet. Then they finally walk away or stay. That's insane. And then they go. And then from there, then they have like two weeks that they get to. OK, so they've seen each other. And if they stay like together, then they go to this island off Mexico and they're on vacation for two weeks.
Starting point is 00:37:34 Right. And then then they have like because from the moment they get engaged and they are going to get married in a month. And I think that they have a rule where you can't walk away in that month. You have to wait until the wedding and that's when you decide yes or no. There was a person that walked away. Spoilers.
Starting point is 00:37:55 I don't... Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, you're right. No, you're right. That one was impossible. Okay, I won't spoil anymore. But it's a really good show. Shane, why are you laughing?
Starting point is 00:38:05 I'm just imagining a show where it's all Stevie Wonder in different wigs. What? Called Love is Blind, Shane. Oh my God. Shane, we've been over this. Stevie Wonder isn't blind. He can see.
Starting point is 00:38:19 I mean, that's a well-edited YouTube video. I don't know. Is that a thing? It's real. It's real. So I binged the rest of Bo thing? It's real. It's real. I binged the rest of BoJack Horseman because I think I stopped around season four and a half. That's one of those shows.
Starting point is 00:38:38 I was like, all right, I'm going to do it. I'm going to finish this. It's such a great show, but there is one part where they talk about the fact that like, yeah, in television shows, there aren't happy endings. Like there has to be drama because that's what keeps the show going. But holy damn is that- That is just depressing. It's just depressing.
Starting point is 00:38:55 Yeah, but I do love when a silly show can get dark and real like that. I do like appreciate shows like that. For sure, but I've avoided that show because whenever people watch it, they're like, yeah, I went through definitely a little bit of a crisis
Starting point is 00:39:06 watching the show. Or yeah, I had like a week where I was like, oh, I've heard Bojack Horseman, especially for us in the entertainment industry. It's going to like
Starting point is 00:39:15 give you a week where you are literally in your head depressed. Yeah. I don't know if I'm down for that. I couldn't, I watched a couple episodes and I was like, eh, and if i'm down for that i couldn't i got i watched a couple
Starting point is 00:39:25 episodes and i was like yeah and i stopped i wasn't watching bojack is kind of a red pill or blue pill situation it's like do you just want to keep being happy or do you want to have a mirror held up to you oh my god i think if you i don't know like i never had like a crisis moment watching the show i think it's like some people that maybe haven't done enough self-reflection. Maybe it revealed something about them, but it's an incredible show. Like it's some of the best television I've ever watched. They have one episode called Free Churro where it's literally just BoJack, the horse man, doing a monologue for the entire episode.
Starting point is 00:40:07 It's the only show that's made that like an episode has ended and I'm laughing but also crying. I guess I can't help but like apply what I'm watching to myself. How would I react or how do I feel about that? Like I can't. I think that's also what a lot of like there's TV that's supposed to be mindless that you can have on in the background like Love Island but then there's other stuff that's like you know
Starting point is 00:40:29 it has a message or it has a little bit of something to make you think. I think that's a good thing in general if you walk away from something a little bit better for the experience you know. Shane what's your show? Well besides Tiger King which I obviously everybody watched.
Starting point is 00:40:46 Yeah, dude. Besides that, I haven't been watching much TV because I've been so addicted to Animal Crossing. Yeah. And I try to watch TV while I play a video game and it doesn't, I just, there's no point. I don't catch any of the show. Oh, there's nothing better in the world. I don't catch any of the show. I cannot, I, it's just completely blacked out. I'm a single, I'm a single track person as world. I don't catch any of the show. I cannot. It's just completely blacked out.
Starting point is 00:41:06 I'm a single track person. I am too. And I go through my cycle, right? I go through a phase where I play a ton of video games, play it nonstop. Then I go through a phase where I'm watching TV shows and movies. And then I go through a phase where I'm reading books. And I'm rarely doing two at the same time. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:23 And so I'm in a video game phase right now. And I really cannot stop. Dude, I i will say speaking of the tiger king thing there's this youtuber that i've been watching called prim ink which i really i've been binging a lot of youtube for sure during this time but um he 11 months ago because basically what his channel is is he he covers not so much he's not a drama channel but he'll cover all these controversies that have happened on the internet like but he'll kind of tell the story as if it was like this ancient legend that happened a long time ago except for he has all the footage all the screenshots like he does the work he's got
Starting point is 00:42:01 the receipts he literally and but he's a really like sweet young guy what's his name primink p-r-i-m-i-n-k and 11 months ago he was like the animal rights man who ends up in a like i don't i can't but yeah literally a year ago did a thing on on the tiger king oh wow youtuber who ran for president hired a hitman yeah i remember i remember seeing tiger king on like john oliver's show right like he's he's been he's been around you know i have i have seen this guy's youtube channel it's really good i recommend you guys all check it out like you can binge his stuff for hours sorry to the video game and tv thing i'm curious if anybody else is out there that like can do both at the same time and enjoys
Starting point is 00:42:47 that because sometimes I'm a huge overthinker. Sometimes even if I'm just doing one thing like watching a show, my mind will still be like this thing, that thing, this thing, that thing. So like doing a TV show and a video game at the same time is like noise canceling headphones for my life. It's like both tracks are finally occupied. Holy crap, this feels good. So playing Animal Crossing while watching Love Island
Starting point is 00:43:08 is just the best experience of life. Some of our coworkers also do that. Nancy was saying she plays Animal Crossing while also watching stuff. Having a garbage TV show that you don't have to pay attention to and just tune into while playing a very chill, lax game
Starting point is 00:43:24 like Animal Crossing or minecraft totally makes sense i know that i have a hard time with like just straight up silence in my apartment especially now it's like just reminding me how by myself i am so having just having youtube a youtube channel like i let drew gooden or danny gonzalez just auto play you should like you should get a speaker out and just play audio of a cafeteria in your place. That sounds so nice. Or like a cocktail party.
Starting point is 00:43:51 Yeah, you should do that. I'm sure there's like a foley of a party or something. I mean, that's essentially kind of like how in, isn't it in Korea where they just footage of people just eating lunch yeah not necessarily even a mukbang just people literally eating yeah like a regular lunch yes it's super popular a lot those are some good stuff to watch though wait is anyone else watching anything else because love island wore me the frick out so i was like i was that's why i was sorry yeah love
Starting point is 00:44:21 is blind war it was like wearing me, was making me like hate humanity. So I had to like flop between that BoJack. Oh, Detroiters. Oh my God. What's that? It's incredible. Yeah, it's Tim Robinson's It had two seasons on Comedy Central. I Think You Should Leave, right?
Starting point is 00:44:40 Yeah. Yeah, it's the guy that made I Think You Should Leave. He made a sitcom or not really a sitcom, but it's like a scripted scripted show um about like him and a friend like running an advertising agency in detroit or detroit i don't know how you guys say it what are the what's the other way to say it well some people say detroit and some people say detroit detroit detroit never heard i don't know if I've heard that ever. All right, moving on. It's such a funny show because it's really funny, but then it also has, like, a lot of heart.
Starting point is 00:45:14 And I know that's, like, what everyone says about every show, but, like, it's really great. Nice. That's awesome. Yeah, so highly recommend it. If you could find a way to watch it. For those of you just listening, Courtney is adjusting her plants.
Starting point is 00:45:30 It has like, you know, when it continues to grow and sprout, it'll have like a little dead little place where I like. Yeah, it was doing that right now. I was peeling those off. Dude, it's gotten so long. He was such a little guy when I first got him.
Starting point is 00:45:46 Okay, next question. Yeah, yeah, Detroiters. it's gotten so long. He was such a little guy when I first got him. Okay, next question. Yeah, yeah, Detroiters. Let's talk about this. My plant. La la la la. So this is the last kind of like, it's not serious, but I think it's a really good question. I love that. I love this question very much. It's from
Starting point is 00:46:01 at gumballman101 which we say 10-1 when we have to pee on set um the question is do you have any books you read when you were you oh sorry do you have any books you read when you were younger that you think have shaped you as a person they don't have to be serious or adult books nope no i'm kidding no no next question so in high school i started i was basically i sat alone uh for the first few months of freshman year because all my friends went to different high schools so i'd basically either sit yeah i'd pretty much i started in the bathroom but i was like no i can't
Starting point is 00:46:45 eat lunch in the bathroom every day so then i went so then i moved yeah exactly so then i moved to the library where that's i found uh the young adult section and i would just find a book and literally judged a book by its cover if the cover looked interesting to me i would take it home and i'd read it or read it at lunch because freshman year i was still getting bullied a little bit there was that series pretty little liars and it's very very very different from the show but it basically gave me this new confidence because a lot of these girls in that book or in the show are just acting a certain way just to assert their dominance or just like if you acted confident and and all this stuff like that you would you were treated better and like there's a character named ally and i was like where's your alley courtney and i would like find like where my
Starting point is 00:47:33 confidence was and it's like i don't care what these people are saying about me and i just felt i had such a better attitude instead of when people were bullying me or or spreading rumors about me online instead of getting sad and like going into my dark hole and just crying or whatever, I decided to like within myself just fight back. Like, no, like it just taught me how to be a bitchy high school girl, at least on the inside. So that on the outside it showed through. And I think I eventually became like got befriended by those girls that were bullying me but yeah that book definitely taught me to how to be a confident young woman very much i don't know if there's a specific book as much as just reading in general uh shaped a lot of my
Starting point is 00:48:15 personality i hated reading when i was young because it was very like a forced thing like you have to read a chapter a night or you have to do this or whatever. And so I hated it because it was a chore. And then it was around when I was 16 and I was, you know, homeschooled because I was auditioning and stuff. And I the homeschooling stuff was so minimal. And honestly, like there was periods of time where I was essentially just not in school because the curriculum just wasn't great. And so I started realizing I'm like, if I don't start reading books or doing something, I'm not gonna be learning anything right now. And so I just started reading a ton and I just started picking. I didn't know where to go.
Starting point is 00:48:58 So I just kind of picked classics because I was like, well, apparently these are good. It's so different when you read on your own accord as opposed to it being assigned to you. In a reading assignment, you're given things to look for. And they might be things that you don't care about. Be like, you know, like in Catcher in the Rye, what is the theme to the story? What is Holden Caulfield's greatest fear, whatever? And you're not, that's the things that on your own time
Starting point is 00:49:25 you wouldn't be looking for and you wouldn't care about. You'd be thinking, oh, how does this relate to me? Oh, what does this book mean to me? And then it takes such a different form. So there's a ton of books, I mean, that I loved and continue to shape me. I think, I don't think there's a single book I read, even if I hate it or even if it's very insignificant.
Starting point is 00:49:44 There's something, there's even a sentence that's presented that changes my thinking in some way or another. I think if anything, it just made me open minded because every book will surprise you in some way and you'll feel dumb in some way that you're like, oh, I didn't know that things were like that. And so you're left now going, oh, I'm not going to assume things. I'm always going to be looking for knowledge that i don't have let's say that that's like a lot with like the kite runner that book really taught me a lot about life and just how people don't just have a couple bad things that happen their lives like your entire life can be a struggle and and it continues and it's crazy. Yeah, that book made me cry so hard.
Starting point is 00:50:28 Ian, you're deep in thought. You're very deep in thought. Am I? Do I look very pensive? No, I, cause I know Damien was joking when he was like, no, no book has influenced me. But like straight up, I don't think I had a book that I read as a kid
Starting point is 00:50:46 that inspired me to be who I am today. I don't know. I don't feel like I was really influenced by a lot of things. I feel like, oh, hell yeah, garbage truck man, take away my trash. Thank you. Good job. Pots and pants. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:51:02 Bark at him. Did he literally, did he wave to you? No. I don't even know if he saw me. But you. Bark at him. Literally, did he wave to you? No. I don't even know if he saw me. But you waved to him. That's sweet. Yeah. I'm just trying to give him love, you know, central services.
Starting point is 00:51:13 I'm trying to think like what things did I like read or watch as a kid that influenced me? I guess like really just like watching comedy, I think probably made me realize what I found funny. And that's about it. Like I didn't ever apply any sort of like life lessons from Harry Potter into my life. Like I would never go like, oh, what would Hermione do in this situation? That's a mistake. I do that before I do anything. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:41 So. W-W-H-D, what would Hermione do? I was in the same sort of place that Shane was in where every book in school felt like it was an assignment. Yeah. And. Fahrenheit 451. I could not do it, bro.
Starting point is 00:51:55 Hate it. Do not. But then I read that book on my own and I loved it. Yeah. See. Maybe if I went back. There are some books like that I did enjoy in school. But. I think it's like, especially something like Fahrenheit 451, which I admit I've never read those kinds of books.
Starting point is 00:52:11 Like you at least need a little bit of life experience. Like, oh, yeah. To understand the context of like tyranny. I had a really hard time with that book specifically for that reason. And that I do not. The author, Ray Bradbury, I can acknowledge that his work is well done I am not a Ray Bradbury fan at all and there would be all these units in school every year where it's like now we're doing this Ray Bradbury book and it was such a struggle because it wasn't like how do you feel about this book what do you think about this book it was why is this book so damn great and I'd have to be like it's not but okay let me think about what you want me to say and so it just made me good at taking the test i was really good at taking the test but i didn't believe in it i i sorry i just hijacked this from you no no no go i had sort of the same experience with reading in school because when i first learned how to read
Starting point is 00:52:58 way uh like three years ago no um when i was just a super young baby boy, I was like, I was so in love with it. I wanted to read all the time and I would like brag to people that I met, just like, I read two books last week and they'd be like, wowee, that's so cool. But then in my school, we had this thing called the Accelerated Reader Program, the AR program.
Starting point is 00:53:17 Oh, me too, fuck that. It sucks because it makes you take a test at the beginning of the year and it gives you your reading level, quote unquote. So it would be like, you know, Steve, and what is your reading level? Like, well, I'm in the first grade and I've got a third grade reading level. Isn't that great? And they'd be like, that is great.
Starting point is 00:53:32 You're very advanced. Take, read, get this many points in a year. So you would have to read books that were worth a certain amount of points, take tests on them and then earn those points. My friends might need six, seven points for the year. That's one Harry Potter book takes care of that. And then you're done for the year. My reading level that they gave me, they were like, hi, you need 36 points by the end of the year. I'm like, oh, cool. White Fang by Jack London is 11. So let me figure this out. And they beat the reading out of you. You don't end up liking it. So it wasn't until way later that I actually enjoyed it again and discovered things like Neil Gaiman, my favorite author, read The Sandman.
Starting point is 00:54:09 I love George R.R. Martin, Song of Ice and Fire. Yeah, anything anything like fantastical. It wasn't that escape for me until like more modern times. I will say it's a thing that's nice about college is that there is much more freedom in assignments. I mean, there's freedom in the types of classes you pick. Like, for instance, I did a class that was entirely graphic novels. So it was a class focused entirely on, you know, comic artists. Really? That's cool. Yeah, it was was and i like i'm reading a book by chris ware right now which i read one of some of his stuff in that class and it's so good and then
Starting point is 00:54:51 more importantly in college you get a lot more freedom with the assignments that you're doing it whereas in high school it's very constricted like you're saying where it's like why is this book so great in college i feel like you have the option of saying that you think it's trash. You're often given, for me at least throughout my college experience, I was with assignments, you're choosing the topic. You're not, okay, write an essay about this, about this book. Being like, okay, you read the book, write a 10-page paper on anything you choose about that book. It could be about why it's bad it could be why it's about this it's whatever it means to you as opposed to them telling you what the book means and you have to go by those guidelines yeah and i think that's i think that's super important
Starting point is 00:55:35 because it's using critical thinking it's not just somebody telling you like this book is good and if you disagree you're wrong right yeah every time there was tests with books and stuff there was always one critical thinking question and it was like so like just skimming past that which i feel like is the most important part of those things they shouldn't just be like trivia okay to think critically man like the schools are just trying, they're just trying to turn you into sheep, man. What I also hated about that specifically was like, and even in college for me, maybe it was just, you know, the kind of classes I was taking, but like a lot of things really need you to have sources to cite, which is understandable, but like they would also often have to come from like
Starting point is 00:56:21 scholarly articles, like in, in in in you know scholarly publications and all that stuff so it's like all right so you want me to read this book that's a classic that everybody has already read come up with a brand new idea about it but find published articles from scholars who didn't quite get to where i'm getting right now so i can quote what they're saying which is halfway to my point and then make one beyond that. Like I just hated it. I don't like the way literature is approached. When it comes to the arts, I don't understand scholarly articles.
Starting point is 00:56:52 I don't understand that for the arts. Because the arts is all opinion based. I understand it when it came to scientific classes and psychology and stuff like that because it's like yes, that is how science is supported by peer review and everything but when it comes to reading a book and then having to find another high up then you're getting the
Starting point is 00:57:10 same opinions it's probably getting a bunch of white because what else are you gonna do with an english major that's i and i didn't go to college but i think what frustrated me the most was those classes where my teachers were sometimes good teachers sometimes really bad teachers and i would be frustrated because i'd be getting forced to read this book that i was not didn't feel like i could relate to or understand or comprehend at all but then i'd go to the library and find all these amazing books that like like i really like resonated with like i actually read 13 reasons why back in like 2014 and like it's obviously people look at that book now and that show and they're like hey this actually glorified suicide and just like a
Starting point is 00:57:54 lot luckily it didn't affect me in that way but it's like those books that book speak uh i forget the author but i have it i actually have it it right here. I've actually kept all my favorite books that have affected me in this bookcase. Nice. I don't know. I feel like that'd be cool if you could, if in an English class, maybe in high school or middle school, where you're really trying to find yourself. In the beginning of the course, taking a quiz on who you are as a person, what you want in life, or what you're unsure of
Starting point is 00:58:25 and then being given books that that would maybe help you or or that would you would resonate with or something all right we're gonna answer some silly ones and then we're gonna get into the shoot dude because we're running out of time are you guys ready are you boys ready yes rapid fire answer yes go okay okay the question is from at undignified. Crunchy or smooth peanut butter? This says a lot about you as a person. Smooth. Smooth.
Starting point is 00:58:52 Smooth is nice to spread and stuff, but I don't have a problem with crunchy. Smooth. Smooth. Okay, all right. Ian, Ian, real fast. It depends on the application. Oh my God, faster than that, dude.
Starting point is 00:59:02 Peanut butter and jelly sandwich, Ian. Jesus, next question. I feel you, I than that, dude. Peanut butter and jelly sandwich, Ian. Jesus, next question. I feel you, I feel you, Ian. I do enjoy the crouch from time to time. Yeah, I think I'm fine with both. But if I'm going to the supermarket and I'm buying a peanut butter, I would get the smooth. Okay, smooth.
Starting point is 00:59:20 At Cosmic Tops asks, what animal could you beat in hand-to-hand combat? I feel like for me, a dog. You could beat one? You have to specify what kind of dog. Like medium or large-sized dog. No. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:59:33 A pit bull is medium-sized. Okay, not one that has the ability to lock its jaw, maybe. A German Shepherd. I think I could benefit. You think you can beat a German Shepherd with your bare hands? If they have a running... No, no, no, listen. If if they have a running no no no listen if they can have a running
Starting point is 00:59:46 start to my arm sure I'm fucked but if they start in a room have you seen John Wick in the ring I have hands bro if we're in the ring and we're like that
Starting point is 00:59:55 I know how to grab a dog and pin it down me and my dog Holly used to wrestle all the time your dog was not trying to kill you I don't care what you have to say I would beat a German Shepherd in hand-to-hand combat.
Starting point is 01:00:06 I don't care what you say. Guys, what do you think? I don't even think at all. I've said this before in the Octagon. If I have no clothing on, no weapons, I am losing to almost anything. And I've had this conversation a lot with like my brothers and stuff. Because if you get to larger animals that aren't necessarily even trying, even if you're in the ring with a cow and the cow is not trying to kill you how do you kill a cow with your bare hands you don't have to beating beating in hand-to-hand combat doesn't
Starting point is 01:00:34 mean killing okay how do you beat it how do you beat it with your bare hands you blow you blow into the udder you blow into the udder until it pops i think, I think like when animals, animals are so, they can tap into really trying to kill you. Pick an animal, goldfish, okay fine. And we learned, we learned that a wombat, a wombat can actually crush your skull with its butt. Kill you with its ass.
Starting point is 01:01:00 Animals are all demons. I could easily beat the hell out of a panda have you seen that video of the panda reaching through the bars and grabbing that guy and ripping his jacket off there's a video of a guy he's in a denim jacket and he's sitting near some bars where there's a panda behind him and the panda grabs him
Starting point is 01:01:20 and I mean just ragdolls him just starts swinging him around from behind the bars. And then rips the jacket clean off of his body. And it's like we forget that they're bears. Just because they have a cute- They're not bears. They're raccoons.
Starting point is 01:01:35 They're more closely related to raccoons. I could also fight a raccoon. I don't want to mess with a raccoon either. You're acting like you're scared if they hear you talking about them that they're going to come after you and actually try and fight you. We're all inside right now. What do you think they're all doing? I was at the park. I saw them all in a circle talking. A squirrel, a crow, a coyote. A panda won't even have sex with another panda to prolong its species. So sure as hell not gonna fight. They're all in cells, Damien, be careful.
Starting point is 01:02:04 Ian, who would you fight? Manatee. Easy. I just blow it to the shore and let it suffocate. Wait you drag it off. You know they're mammals. Oh that's right fuck. All right you're right they're mammals.
Starting point is 01:02:17 Nevermind. Hold on can I revise? You guys are all getting beat up. Hold on I'm gonna revise my answer. I'm gonna grab. You think you're so smart. I'm going to dunk the manatee in water and keep its head underwater until it dies. People, please draw these fights.
Starting point is 01:02:33 Okay, last question. Hold on. Hold on. I just want to say manatees, I believe, are endangered. Don't go killing manatees. Look, I started with pandas. They're the cows of the sea, and I love them very much. Do not kill a manti.
Starting point is 01:02:47 So last question. This one's directed directly at Shane from Pat Simply Biased. What really is a Monday? A Monday is all time. We measure all of time through Monday. It is the circle. It is a flat circle. Like Earth.
Starting point is 01:03:04 Yeah. It is the present, It is a flat circle. Like Earth. Yeah. It is the present, the past, and the future. It is Monday. Hell yeah, dude. Okay. Now it's time for the shoot, dude. Are you guys ready? Shoot, dude.
Starting point is 01:03:16 Shoot, dude. Insert the shoot, dude theme song here. Shoot, dude. Shoot, dude. Shoot, dude. Shoot, dude. Shoot, dude. Shoot, dude. Shoot, dude. dude shoot dude shoot dude shoot dude shoot dude shoot dude shoot dude okay so this one is from a guy named chris i was working as a waiter and on this particular night it wasn't overly busy there was a couple off to the side and their waiter is just about to serve them their entree when this woman bursts through the door, makes a beeline straight for the couple's table, points at the girl, looks at the man and goes, who the fuck is this?
Starting point is 01:03:57 Turns out the very angry woman is the guy's wife. Cursing out the husband, the wife takes out her phone and starts taking pictures of the girl who's trying to hide her face in her hands the husband jumps up grabs the phone from the wife and tries to leave while also just trying to delete the pictures the wife jumps on his back trying to get the phone from him he shakes her off and goes outside. The wife follows him. They're now arguing in the middle of the outside tables. He storms off. She goes after him and just left the girl with a $200 dinner bill. No!
Starting point is 01:04:36 In parentheses, I don't think we made her pay it. There was a dead silence in the restaurant for a good two minutes before the rest of the customers went back to eating. Definitely an interesting night to say the least. That's an insanely smart way to dine and dash if all three of them are a human. Oh my God. What if all three of them are just friends? If I was running that restaurant, I would have made her pay.
Starting point is 01:05:00 But it was like they didn't even get their entrees yet. They didn't get the food yet. If they didn't get the food, if they didn't eat anything then i mean oh what if she's what if she's a homewrecker okay she better what if she's a homewrecker yeah that's one of those things that it probably happens a lot that's such a rough that's such a weird situation to be near because it doesn't sound quite like something where you're you're telling the staff there obviously but what can you do other than watch you know like what can you do like you're just gonna kind of be like all right does anyone have a microwave for me to put this
Starting point is 01:05:30 popcorn in it's so crazy when you get to watch a moment like that like i feel like we were we were in an airport one time on our way back from like new york or something after like a new front or like some weird event. Um, and there was a couple just fighting at the restaurant and we were all looking at it and we're like, Ooh, this is weird. And then Shane was just like tired.
Starting point is 01:05:53 It was like, if a couple's willing to fight in public, like I'm allowed to watch. Imagine being a waiter and just seeing all the kinds of weird drama. They see it every day. That's true. Because that does add a lot of pressure to you as an onlooker.
Starting point is 01:06:09 Like what, you now have to pretend? Like the mac and cheese here is really okay. Like just continue on your conversation and pretend not to listen. Like no, you just get to. Also to have the balls to cheat out in public like that. Damn boy. Damn boy. damn boy.
Starting point is 01:06:25 Damn shoot dude. No, shoot dude. Nobody at the restaurant knows either party. Like that's pretty, yeah. I love people watching like very much. And so that makes me feel. Through like their windows and stuff, yeah. Yeah, I just like through the little like blurry glass
Starting point is 01:06:43 on those front doors of houses. I just go like this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I look through. And then you just keep whispering to yourself. People are fascinating. Yeah. I'm like, wow, these people, this family inside is so crazy. As I stand on their doors up.
Starting point is 01:06:58 All right. Anyway, thanks, guys, for answering those questions with me. I really enjoyed it. It was definitely like a much more low key, not exactly as kooky and crazy as a show with no name, but you know, we'll leave that in the past. That was its own thing. So it's all good.
Starting point is 01:07:13 I'm glad you brought your kitty out briefly, Damien. Me too. She knows because of streaming, like if I'm talking in this direction and focusing in this direction, if they come over, they're getting picked up. So they almost never come over until I'm done talking. And the second I finished talking,
Starting point is 01:07:29 they both come over and won't say hey. So it's really funny. So that was a rare treat. That's really cute. That was a rare treat. She's such a floofer. Big fat baby. I can't do anything about it.
Starting point is 01:07:40 I keep trying. She eats a normal amount. I try to give her exercise. She gets fatter. Whoa. It's just who she is. She gets fatter. Whoa. It's just who she is. Hey, the body wants what the body wants. Dude, I wish I had a cat.
Starting point is 01:07:50 Having a cat would be great at a time like this. I'll just send you a picture of mine and you can just stare at it and say, there's my cat. Can you just mail one of them to me?
Starting point is 01:07:59 No. Okay. Well, thanks for being my boys. Thanks for being my boys. Always and forever. Thanks for the my boys. Always and forever. Thanks for the having fun with my boys podcast. Come back again next time and maybe it will be another one, but maybe not because this is the Smosh cast, not my boys cast.

Starting point is 01:08:30 rooms. My rooms are now studios. We are all now rap gods. That's right. I've had to go to the bathroom
