Topics
主持人认为人们在社交媒体上观看车祸视频的行为,类似于观看低俗娱乐节目,是一种普遍存在的现象。Shayne Topp指出社交媒体算法会持续推荐用户不感兴趣的内容,即使用户明确表示不喜欢,这种算法机制导致了低俗内容的广泛传播。Courtney Miller则关注到一些社交媒体账号发布低俗、暴力内容,并获得大量观看,这反映了部分用户对这类内容的偏好。Shayne Topp进一步解释了一些YouTube频道专门发布车祸视频合集,并通过“合理使用”来规避版权问题,这种商业模式的成功也从侧面印证了这类内容的市场需求。最后,主持人总结道Smosh频道的内容也类似于车祸视频,具有吸引人的低俗娱乐性,与人们观看车祸视频的动机类似。

Hire high-quality, certified pros at Angie.com. I like to watch car crashes when Smosh and Good Mythical Morning aren't on the TV. It's called Idiots in Cars. Wow. I totally believe you. Is this an ex-account? No, no, no. This is on YouTube. Because I don't go on Twitter anymore because it's just that shit. They get to Wasteland.

It's truly a wasteland. Well, you know the feed is catered to what you watch. No, it's not. I don't think it is. I don't think it is, man. D'Angelo Wallace did a whole experiment showing how you can actively be screaming at it that you don't want it and it will still be giving it to you. I also, but I do believe that and the problem is that stuff, if I come across an account and I see like

a highway and I'm like something bad's about to happen like a part of you is kind of like look away like don't look and then you're like but then I linger on it for a second yeah when he first took over it was like if I saw a single inch of CCTV footage I was like that's gonna be a dead body that I'm about to see oh yeah I know I don't like that stuff well the account is called like

Dead bodies every day. One that I get a lot is thieves getting fucked. Thieves getting fucked? No, they're all horrible. The titles of these accounts are horrible. And they're getting so many views. CCTV footage of them trying to hold someone up on a motorcycle and then a car will just swerve into them and send them both flying out of the frame. But Good Mythical Morning and Smosh...

Same caliber. We are a car crash of a channel, aren't we? It's entertainment. It's entertainment. It's entertainment for the whole family. Welcome to Chuckle Sandwich. I like how you just have a giant TV screen with Kiki's Delivery Service just paused on it. Well, there could be other stuff on there. If there's something that you want to reference and you want to bring it up, like Idiots in the House. Let's go.

Let's go! You're just gonna have horrible car accidents playing while we're having a casual conversation? My favorite part about the Idiots in Cars channels, there's a bunch of them. There's a bunch of them, and they're all on their own number of what compilation it is. So, like, you'll just get, like, an Idiots in Cars 7, and then you'll go to Idiots in Cars 8, and it'll be from a different channel with, like... And they might reuse it, so it's tough. So you have to usually get on one channel that you like. Someone has built their empire off of this. Oh, yeah. That's amazing. Oh, yeah. They have, like...

They're really big on fair use. So at the start of all these compilations, they'll let you know, warning, this is under this law and this fucking. Yeah. Yeah. It's all extremely fair use. They want to make sure of that. Oh, 130 looks good, Tucker. Are we going to? Okay. You're going to watch us watch a car accident.

Oh my god. Oh my goodness. That's like just entering the RV at that win a buy I've got a really good If you guys do you guys like road trips at all? I love road. Yeah I've got a really good car game for you guys and I think that I think that you guys will actually get a kick out of this because sometimes I introduce it to people and they're like wait why and

So you know how RVs, they all have like a title on the side of them. Like it'll be like for American spirit or like something else. If you're just on the road and you see one of those, take the name of the car and put anal in front of it.

And it becomes funnier. Okay. Yeah. I'll give you some examples. I got distracted. I'm being... You're being served. I'm being offered... Some Benedictine. Some Benedictine. What's Benedictine? It's a liqueur. It's sort of the... It's the podcast. It's usually mixed with something. Benedictine? Not in my house. It's usually mixed with like... It's a friend of the podcast. Yeah, we're sponsored by the monks that make it up in the Alps. Yeah.

Just get a little sip, like the smallest amount you can muster in there and just let it coat your entire mouth. Yeah, how good are you guys at mustering? Do you think you can muster? And why did you give us so much if all we're doing is a little mouthfeel? Because you'll want more. Because he just wants to use as much as possible so we have to keep buying it so we can have enough for the week. A bottle of Dom. Cheers. Cheers, buddy. Wow.

Look at the legs on her. It is really good. It's quite nice. No, it's solid. That's not cheap. That's an expensive liqueur. It really makes me wonder why are monks making that? Well, they make the best stuff, man. Yeah? Like the best beers, like the Trappist-Dales. What's the percent on that? 40. Probably 40. Oh!

Yeah, that's like a shot of vodka. Yeah, you guys are wasted now. Slapstick! Slapstick! Slapstick! Get me in the Winnebago! Yeah, no, but with the RV stuff, you put an anal at the beginning. Okay. So it's like, for instance, one of my favorites is an RV that's four wins. Sorry.

Sorry. Anal wins? No, anal four wins. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Can we look up pictures of RVs and then put anal at the end or the beginning? At the beginning. Okay. Anal Thor. Anal Thor wins. What?

Camper names anal anal chrome cruiser. Oh joy anal adventure. There you go. Oh solid I love the Winnebago Anal freedom anal escape this Anal adventure this could have worked well with my family we used to have a my grandpa had a boat. Yeah, it was called the topper Oh

When I was moving out here to LA in 2020, my dad came with me on the road trip. This was his favorite game. He'll sometimes just text me. He'll just text me, he'll be like, anal road roamer. And that's the only thing he'll text me. Oh my God.

I'll be like, nice one. I want to see a screenshot of just like a week. That's crazy to get from your dad. He'll be like, got a good one for you. You're hanging out with your friends. One of them picks up your phone. It's like, hey, your dad texted you. He just said anal Dutchman. Anal Dutchman? Anal trailblazer? What does that mean? That's a real one too. Yeah, no, he's getting to that age where it's like,

Like he's gonna retire in the spring. So he's getting to that age where it's like now he's cool again. - Yeah. - You know, and he doesn't need to worry about it. - Do you think he'll be cool with retirement?

Yeah, I think he'll be cool with it because he also he he's got his job But then he also has like his little hobby job on the side where he works as a football referee Yeah, yeah, and he recently had a change in that where he can't like run as well anymore cuz his knees like hurt He also doesn't have a calf, but that's another story And so now he's up in the replay box at the top skirt by that. Hmm. I

You can't just say your dad doesn't have a calf. He doesn't it's like atrophied like he had like a plate issue in his back where it made his like calf atrophy somehow so if he steps on a Lego he had an issue on his back that made his calf like the plate it was a nerve was pinched and it like somehow made his calf atrophy. What does atrophy mean? Like the muscle like just kind of like withered away.

So is he just have like a really skinny. So he's got like a full on calf here and then it's just like less leg here. What if he got an implant? Yeah, a calf implant. I feel like that would be purely aesthetic. Yeah, yeah. Well, you can take like part of your butt muscle and put it. So that's what they do for Tommy John with pitchers in the MLB. When they screw up their elbow pitching, what they'll do is they'll take a bit of their ass and they'll put it in their elbow.

And then they're back. And then they're pitching harder than they've ever pitched before. Then they're throwing gas. Then they're throwing gas. Yes, exactly. They're throwing ass. That gives them an advantage because the ass muscle, I think, is way stronger than your elbow. Yeah. Yeah. When I was 12 years old, I was like just trying to

Throw it that elbow throw it out. You know I was trying to fast-track it break My so my my family weren't allowed to have our elbows on the table and one day I did and Then my mom hit me with a knife Your mom stabbed you no no no it's just the side of it more of a like a slice right no no not like a slice like the flat side she used it as a bludgeoning object

No, it was like, and then I bled everywhere.

Yes, she did slice you actually yes. There is a scar right that that right that's insane and she felt bad And so I got to eat in front of the TV. Oh hell. Yeah, well that's good story for you guys. No no no I'm getting stuff getting your blood over the dining table I definitely have the same memory though of like they were like you gotta like rest them like that like with the Yeah, the forearms there. Did you ever have that oh?

I had grandparents who were intense about the elbows on tables, but my family overall wasn't. Yeah, I feel like these days I'm I'm loose and oh, yeah, I'm all up in there. Yeah, I'm like, I'm rubbing around on the table. We're not British. Love that. No, no. My grandma was great. Straight from Ireland. Fresh off the boat. Wow. And so whenever I'm at her place, you got to be real careful. Well, yeah.

she's so polite too she's like she's very stately like i'm like how are you in my family none of us are like that oh jay it's good to see you again yeah no really in her cottage she's my last one

I only have one grandma left. The other two, they died. My grandma and grandpa. She smoked a lot of cigarettes. She actually smoked a lot of cigarettes in her 80s. She got lung cancer and then beat it. Oh, wow. And then got it again, as it does. But she still beat it once, which is kind of nuts. That's impressive. In your 80s, and she was still smoking. She never did.

She never stopped, right? She's only gonna stop smoking. And honestly, when you're 80... That's the only source of happiness she had. When you're 82, it's like...

I'm not going to quit smoking now. I'm committed. I'm going to keep doing it. The doctor says you guys should quit smoking. I'll be like, fuck. Dude, what do you mean? Yeah, once you get to 80, I feel like that's the point in the timeline where an 80-year-old or up is going to fall and it's going to look like they got in a car crash, like they got hit by a car. Literally. You seen Jimmy Carter recently? He's 100. He's just trying to breathe oxygen. He looks...

Oh my goodness. No, he truly looks dead. Yeah. That's alive and well for an 100-year-old, too. Yeah. Yeah, pull up that... Are we going to look up this guy? I don't know if you can really be fully alive at 100. Yeah, those top ones are more...

Why are you clicking on him from the 70s? Yeah, there he is. Look up recent. No, no, no. This is not as bad. There was like a photo from like a week or so ago. He looks like he looks like. Those are pretty rough. Why'd you Google Jimmy Carter looks dead recent? This is a consistent issue we have with Tucker. Those are good keywords. He said his Googling style is like crazy. Those are good keywords. Look it up on Twitter.

Jimmy Carter yeah, I'll show you Twitter so we can see some dead bodies He hides his googling from us now, so we can't like we can't audit him in real life. Yeah, I like this He's smart, and there's a lot of different styles. He's trimming the fat He's using the keywords getting quick so that it's there Do you ever do you ever like you're trying to find an image of something and I?

you're not having much luck, but you get to like page five and you're just kind of hoping it's going to turn up. Yeah. It's just like falling into that void of a lot of times most of the stuff that I find is just put in Reddit at the end of the sentence. He's done. He's really done. He's not making it to 2025. He looks like he's about to like... He's posing with him. He's about to... That dude's posing with him.

Like like he just hunted him Look at this centenarian I caught Yeah, Jimmy Carter says he's looking forward to voting Harris that's in crazy. That's well, that's in crazy ball. Yeah, I should also say I

Welcome Shane Topham and Courtney Miller to the podcast on Chuckle Sandwich. We just got taken away. You guys are such great conversationalists. My grandma got killed by the governor of New York. And we're just so happy to have you guys here. I mean, you know, I've known you guys for a while, but we've never had you on the pod. I know. And it's just such a delight. Welcome. Thanks. I see you as a little brother. Really? Yeah.

I'm like twice the size of you. But you're the same age as my younger brother. Oh, wait, you've told me this. You've told me this before, yeah. Yeah, I freak out every time. You're so young. I'm 26. You want to know how old he is? Yeah, I have a couple questions. So how old are you, but also what were you talking about before? Oh, the governor. Well, you're never going to believe how old he is. I'm 25. That's fine. That's fine. Damn it. Is that all right?

Fine, say what you had to say. You want me to tell people he's like 30? Say what you had to say. Perfectly fine. Look this up, Tucker. Andrew Cuomo, nursing homes. I've just heard this so many times. So Andrew Cuomo wrote a book about how well he and the state of New York handled COVID.

And then he got fully fired for a bunch of controversy. Yeah. And then he he made nursing homes be where they treated the extra covid people. He didn't let anyone leave. And then my grandma died. That that's a that makes a lot of sense. Yeah, that's probably the worst place to put.

That almost feels purposeful. Yeah, it feels intentional, like there was some strategy of some kind. And also, this guy renamed the Tappan Zee Bridge to the Mario M. Cuomo Bridge, as if his father deserved the title over Tappan Zee, which is a cool name for a bridge. I feel like they still call it the Tappan Zee.

Everyone still calls it the tap and see. I feel like everything I hear about New York, people in New York hate most of the governors and mayors. Yeah, because he killed half the state's grandparents. There you go. But don't people hate the mayor too?

The mayor. Yeah. Sabrina Carpenter got him indicted. They hate the police chief, right, too? Or is that the... We hate a lot of people. That just feels like very stereotypical New York. He became the mayor. Oh, the police chief became the mayor. That's cool. That's cool. That makes sense. Yeah. Yeah, that's like the equivalent of the top general becoming the president. And it just never seems like there's something good going on there. Giuliani really cleaned up those streets. Yeah.

thank you man well i'm sorry about your grandma that that actually sounds i'm sorry too did you get any like did you did you get vengeance did you waggle your fist are you trying to get vengeance no i'm trying to come to terms with her passing more than trying to get revenge on him that makes sense i mean yeah i should take care of that first scum fuck why are you doing this to me man

Oh, I have something to tell you, by the way, Ted. Yeah? Because of you, our studio staircase is now roped off. Well, yeah, we have that big staircase ladder.

You know the staircase? That you climbed? What? Really? Yeah. Is it one of the photos that I posted? Am I the reason for all the safety shit now? No, it was a really great place. You know, we didn't have much rules there. Okay, I was allowed to be on that. I have a picture of it somewhere. I was allowed to be on that because it was the same exact type of staircase with the locking mechanism at the bottom that Tucker and I utilized when we worked at Staples. Okay, did...

I was allowed to use that. Do you have like a license for it? So like I'm licensed to use your toilet because I know how to use your toilet without asking you. Did you tell anyone at Spock? If you gotta go, I'm not gonna like turn you away.

Did you like do some dangerous thing while you were there? He climbed like really high up on this. I went to the top. The problem is, the problem is, Ted, if you fell off, you could have probably sued. But why would I do that? Well, we don't know. You made the sandwich if you're up there. Yeah. You made the sandwich, then you got to eat it. You did that to yourself.

I wouldn't have sued you guys if I did that. And we would have known that. So here's a question I have. What exactly is stopping people from moving the rope, though? Well, nobody's stopping people from moving the rope, but now they... Oh, well, I'm definitely going to use it when I'm back. I don't know if they'll let you near there. If Ian sees that clip of you saying you're definitely going to use it again, do you think he's going to let you back in the studio? No.

Dude, when you got a big company like that, you just gotta be super careful. They'll chew you out for any kind of safety thing because they can get sued. So, okay, I was just hyping the shit out of Smosh when you guys first got here. Wait, when did it turn into... When did it turn into this bullshit? When did it turn into like no fun, no water slides, no fun? I think it's funny.

It's funny. We just have to go through the government. We have to file paperwork. Oh, you're getting the government involved in Smosh? Yeah, if you want to climb the staircase, you just need to get a permit to climb the staircase. Oh, I got a permit, man. You worked at Staples. Yeah, the verbal assurance that I worked at Staples is all the permit I need, baby. When you were on the ladder, you should have just been like, hey, I worked at Staples. And then they probably wouldn't have been mad. Yeah, but I would be like, hey, I worked at Staples. Like, it's got a...

Because then they know I'm right. How long did you work at Staples? Oh, just forever. Did you work there for like three months? No. How long did I work at Staples for, Doug? I actually don't remember. Like nine months, maybe. Nine months? Three times more than your estimate. Wait, not nine months. At least a year there. What were you in charge of? Oh, the tech. The tech? And making it easy. The Staples? I was in Easy Tech. You were in Easy Tech? That's so cool.

That's really cool man. You had to like sell credit cards and shit. Why do I feel like Jagmeet is my older sister right now? Yeah, look at him! Oh, you did such a good job! How old are you? I'm 29. 29? Okay, so you're actually pretty close to the age that my older sister is too. Really? My older sister, she's uh, oh, how the fuck older is she? She's 28. Okay. We're like 17 months apart. Aw, nice. Yeah.

- Yeah, no, it was good time though. Good time working at Staples. - Yeah? - Yeah. Well, no, Fred was terrible. - Fred? - Fred. - Fred. - He was our manager and this was a dude that was like coming in from New Hampshire and whenever you would talk to him, he had like radioactive coffee breath. - Oh. - Like where you could be maybe the distance from me and Tucker are from each other right now. - We could smell it. - That's a good five feet. And you would be getting hit and you'd be like,

It's like making our eyes water was like that one Spongebob episode. And you're sure it was just coffee? I don't know. I mean, I mean, yeah. I was getting. Fred, why does your breath smell like shit? Coffee and ass. What is that? Yeah, I mean, yeah. I mean, he he would walk in and he's got a large Dunkin Donuts iced coffee like and he's pounding that shit. So probably had tooth decay as well. Oh, sure. They make those.

So the one time that I did work... Just the Dunkin' is so much sugar. Oh, yeah. The one time I worked less than a month somewhere was the first original job. I don't even count, which is when I did all the training for working at Dunkin' Homes, but they got rid of me for some reason. Aww. Yeah. Before you got on the payroll? Yeah. Well, they pay you for training. That's nice. But yeah, you're right. You press a button for large, and it's literally like...

let's say this is... It's like this much sugar. Like this cup of sugar. It's like a pile. It's like as if you were watching sand pour down into a fucking time watch. It's crazy. Yeah. No. It's... Amanda worked at Dunkin' Donuts. Yeah. A lot. Where's Amanda from? Boston. Whoa. We didn't...

What? You guys are from Boston? No, Amanda is from Boston. Our cast member, Amanda, who I host the podcast with. I'm from California. I'm from kind of all over. I was born in Florida, Virginia, Arizona, LA. He's a military brat. A military brat? Yeah, my dad was in the Air Force. Whoa. Did your dad ever...

No, I don't think so, actually. I don't think he ever saw... But the missiles he shot did! I'm great. Rock on, brother! Fuck yeah! I'm so sorry. Luckily, he avoided... Sorry. He luckily avoided intense things. What did he fly? F-16s.

That's cool. He's a slut for airplanes. No, my dad was a, I think he was a really good pilot. Really? They had actual, they had actual Top Gun competitions and my dad won it a couple times and they changed it to be Top Gun with two Ps for him. Yeah, sick as hell. That's cool. Yeah, and then his dad, my grandpa flew a

Jets as well. He was like among the first wave of the Air Force Yeah, yeah, cuz therefore started like in the after World War two so he joined in like the 50s Oh, dude back when like I'm telling you right now. I don't want to ask you more questions about I don't know too much like I talk or ask like good clarifying questions here So we can get all the information we can out of you know what? I don't know it was a jet he flew jets was a Korean War

Vietnam Vietnam But I don't know What he flew was he cool you ever meet him? Yeah, yeah, I know he's cool. He's still around. He's still around He's like 88 89 now dude. Yeah. He's a very chill dude. Very cool. He's very cool Yeah, no, he didn't tell me a lot about but he'll tell me some stories, but he's kind of one of those where he's like not I

He's not like, let me tell you about the war. You know, he kind of doesn't talk about it. And then I eventually, he told me about a book that some other guy that he flew with in Vietnam wrote. And it has some like,

that involved my grandpa and one where he flies through a mushroom cloud. Like an explosion happens and his jet went through the mushroom cloud. And I'm like, you never told me this? That's sick. And I asked him about it and I'm like, you flew through a mushroom cloud? He's like, well, for me, it was only like half a second. So like, it wasn't anything special. And I'm like, you did the most Michael Bay badass thing and you're here just like, yeah, it was kind of whatever. Yeah.

Yeah, it was just another time on the job. Yeah. Damn. You ever flown anything? A plane? You ever been in a plane before? Yeah, I flew here. Cool. In first class. Whoa. That's actually sick as hell. I've never done first class. No way. I've never done first class, no. They do, domestic flights got really good in the past like year. Yeah, if you do it once, you'll get like kind of addicted to it.

- You can do it and you'll keep setting excuses for yourself. - Okay, so New York to LA used to have like, first class used to be like business class on an international flight or something. You're still sitting next to someone and your seats might be a little bigger. 'Cause this is, people don't know this yet. They got lay flat seats in first class now on domestic. - Wow. - And I've been enjoying them. - That's crazy. - My uncle wanted to be a pilot and he went, he started going to school for it

And then while in school, he found out he was colorblind. Oh, no. He had the little miss sunshine thing happen to him. Which means you can't fly planes. Oh, he got little miss sunshine. Yeah. Yeah. Little miss sunshine. Dang. And then he pivoted to being a firefighter. Oh. And then 9-11 happened, and he was a first responder. How the hell did he do that? He worked on the pile.

That's for months. Insane. Yeah, yeah. Wow. He's got his pension for that. That's crazy. Double pension, they said. They said, nice. Thanks for that. I mean, that's impressive as hell. Wow, your family would really be in New York. Yeah, do you want to hear a text I got from my mother? Yeah. Yeah? What's about to happen?

So this text... He's scrolling up. He's scrolling up. When was this text? It was in 2001. Yeah, that's the question I asked last time he brought up the... Because he did this yesterday. Oh, okay. So my mom sent this to me on September 11th. My dad has gone 28 years today. Hard to believe that and 23 years since 9-11.

You were at your two-year-old checkup that day. Still remember having you in the car and listening on 1010 Winds to the towers collapsing as we drove. I was crying. Your dad was in the city. I really didn't know what to do. Remember it like it was yesterday. That is...

And then what did you say to that? What'd you reply? Oh, I didn't respond. Wow. Then she said, then she said, hello? Oh my God. So you're not much of a first responder, are you? Oh, fuck yeah, dude. That's my big sister. That is the most mom-son interaction, though. Yeah. Just those heartfelt, intense shit. Hello with the ellipses. I mean, like, it was awkward. What was I supposed to say?

to say to that. You could just say I love you mom dude. You could just say something like If you send back just a heart emoji Yeah.

No, it's definitely gone to the point where texting is like social media for parents where it's like that's where like the social media is for them like yeah like family group chats like Oh, they've gotten huge they've gotten huge there's one there's one for like a trip that's coming up with the family like a reunion trip and there's one that's the regular one and then there's another one that's just that's just

my family unit and sometimes sometimes my dad will send something in the full family group chat that was definitely meant for them for the like like anal adventure he'll just say something like totally like maybe like out of pocket for the larger family but like would make sense to us and then he'll be like sorry that was so I get to watch it all happen but yeah no they're all are you very active in your family group chat no I'm not I'm the least active out of my family I'm like the watcher

I like I'm always there. But they're like if I had if I did not have those text group chats muted, it would be going off all fucking day. True. It's tough because my all my family live near close near each other, except for me. I'm the only one who's out of state. Yeah. For all of them. So like they'll have all these texts about stuff that they all are doing and going on. And then I'm like, yeah, that's awesome. Yeah, that looks cool over there.

- How often do you visit? - I visit them like a couple times a year. It's easy, 'cause they're all close by so I can go see them all at once. That wasn't always the case. There was a period of time where my brothers were in different states, so Thanksgiving you choose a relative. - How many brothers do you have? - I have two.

Whoa. See, I've never had a brother before. Tucker's probably the closest thing I've got to a brother. That's awesome. But I never had like, I'm sorry to say this, Tucker, a real one. Sorry. Tucker's smiling, but a tear just rolling down his face. Like, that's awesome. I mean, what was it? What's the age difference? It's pretty massive. They're eight and 11 years older than me.

Whoa, so they must have been like gods there there. They are half brothers, but they're my they're my brother They must have been like gods to you when they're not really it's not like the same type of relationship I think a lot of brothers have it's more like they are Like cool uncles kind of is more the relationship sure cuz you're young I wasn't really feuding with them right having oh, yes with them because whatever they said was like law and

Oh, yeah. And whatever they said was the coolest thing. My neighbor, William, he had a brother that had like a similar age difference to that. And it was like when he would come home, it was like... Oh, yeah. It was like Sam's home. And it was like... And he's got his...

and he's got his German shepherd and he's got a new girlfriend. And it was like, what's going on? No, my brother would be playing like, some of my favorite memories is like my brother playing Final Fantasy VII and me just watching and whatever game he was playing, I'm like, this is now the coolest game of all time. And he'd be like, this is the best game ever made. I'd be like,

I feel like he treated you like his Padawan, though. He definitely did, like, morph what I would be into. Dude, that's sweet. Because it's not... Because they're not quite like adults, you know? They don't lose, like, the cool factor that being an adult is. It's like they're...

- It's like, oh, that's great. - Yeah. - No, whatever they do is the coolest. And I look back and I'm like, wow, you really did bleach your hair to look exactly like Eminem during the Slim Shady era. - All right. - And I was like, wow, he's so cool.

Are you guys known in your extended family as anything more than just like a YouTuber? Because I'm not. What are you? I'm the YouTuber. Oh, you're the YouTuber. Yeah. I think the YouTube stuff. You're the actor. I was. Yeah. I mean, I was.

I was. I think now it's more the YouTube thing, which for a long time was really hard to explain to people. I think people get it now. It's definitely become more like commonly known than it used to be. Yeah, it's not too bad now. How about you? I'm fully the YouTuber. Like, I guess I could teeter into like comedian, but like I was the problem kid when I was in like middle school and high school. And I it wasn't until like I had this job that I felt like I was like,

Cool and in my family And now like I it's like I never was a problem kid ever But that is something do kind of rewrite history the family a little bit when you start to see some success because like I was like a nightmare ADHD little bastard when I was a child and then nowadays my mom's like

I could always see you had it in you. Courtney always had that creative spark. Always had that spark that was going to take you far. Oh, God. Your mom's mildly Trump. Yeah. I always saw it in you. That's pretty good. Well, that's a really good one. Thank you. I do the...

I always knew. We always said. Little Teddy, gonna go far. You got the face. You got the settle. You got that settle perfect. He comes up here when he's like, he's like, all right, what do I say next? He's like,

But other people are trying to say that Teddy doesn't know what he's talking about. - Those people are frankly not so nice. - Not so nice. - They're not so nice. - Rest in peace. - You know, 'cause this is coming out months from now. - I mean, yeah. - Anyways, so. - You want more alcohol? - You need to work on that one. - I wasn't planning on drinking right now. I have more work to do after this. - It's also like, it's like whiskey, but if whiskey was syrup.

- Yeah, yeah. - So is this like your drink of choice? - Yeah. - That's crazy. You don't even like put some ice in there. - Like a large amount of episodes, he will be like,

I'm gonna drink some Benedictine and then he'll pull the bottle and be sipping from the bottle It sounds like a 1920s medicine. Yeah I like whiskey. 18 whiskey this just hits the spot for me. It sounds like like oh don't forget to have a spoonful of Ovaltine. Hey Dutch I've got some Benedictines. Just a very specific thing to drink. Oh yeah. What's your ideal like cocktail? Um

Because there's a cocktail that's whiskey and Benedictine that's like famous. I don't see this. You can't mix with anything. They make a version of this that's like called B&B, which is Benedictine and some kind of cognac, I think. But it's not as good. Like I prefer this completely unadulterated. I don't even put ice in it. But if we're talking...

Like an actual cocktail, I like a good old fashioned probably or like a whiskey sour. Okay. Nice. Pretty good. I don't like fruity stuff that makes me kind of sick.

What's your guys go to? Yeah, we love a nice little cocktail. No man. I don't know. I feel like more and more people are at our age, in our generation are going sober. A lot of people don't drink. Yeah. It's way more common. Now they're having like non-alcoholic bars and liquor stores that are like mocktail stuff. I feel like it's going to take so much longer where that doesn't seem like

shockingly lame, though. - Yeah, I mean, it's getting, I don't know. - I respect someone who's like, okay, I'm gonna be not drinking, but when it's the non-alcohol, the alcohol-free bars. - You just pretend at that point. - It's like this is a one-stop fun. This is like a play place now. - It's like the Italian sodas that the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives drink.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, so like in Utah and like other middle-class. Soda bars. The soda where it's like creamers and syrups going in. I'll admit, I had some Dr. Pepper and no sugar creamer the other day because I saw it on TikTok. Was it good? I was like, yeah, this is manageable. Yeah, it's like not bad. It's a very interesting drink. It's just like a lot of sugar, which is like what that's Mormons kind of. Yeah.

That's their drug. And they weren't allowed to drink soda until recently, right? Well,

Well, you can drink soda, you can't drink caffeinated soda. And then when-- - Recent amendment. - And then like a caffeinated soda brand endorsed the Mormon church and so Mormon church was like, "Okay, you can drink cold caffeine now." - I thought it was Pepsi endorsed them or something. - Yeah, and now it's like you can't drink hot caffeine. So they still are like against coffee and stuff. - What does that mean, Pepsi endorsed Mormon? - Probably just donated to the church or something. - Probably a ton of money to the church. - Wow. - So what made you guys choose the Mormon church? - Well, you know,

Uh, no, I'm just kidding. No, but by the way, I love a dirty martini. Dirty? A dirty vodka martini. What type of vodka? Um, I usually can go for like a kettle, but Tito's is fine. Dude, that's crazy. Really? So my dad's drink of choice whenever he orders is a kettle one martini dry dirty with three olives.

Dry dirty. What does that mean? I don't know but I ordered it Maybe that's similar to what you have because you get a splash of driver booth well like it's like dry comma dirty so maybe or both so it might be a Dirty martini, it's basically vodka with just olive brine like there's no vermouth. Yeah, that's a typical guy right yeah I like it. I like it. Oh, I see you're saying I love a little splash of vermouth in there

- Nice. I like a lot of things, but martinis in Manhattan's are pretty solid. - Nice. - I like old fashions. - I'll often go for a tequila soda. - Nice. - Okay. - Okay. - Serious simple, man. - Okay.

If we're on... That's a party drink. That's a... That's like a... It's a party drink? It's a party drink or an airplane drink. Well, the other option is that what I just was talking about, the drink my dad would have. You do that? Yeah. Nice. Yeah, because it's easy. It's a little sipper. Yeah. You can get one and be good for the... You don't need to have anything else. The olive-y one, I can...

I could, I mean, I say I could drink soy sauce. So like, there's just a lot of things where it's like, I love the savoriness of it. I feel like there's an enzyme in my brain that activated when I turned like 23, where all of a sudden I was just like, I fucking love olives. Same. Same. It happened to me with beer.

Like, some switch flipped and I was like, "Oh man, that's refreshing." I like that all of a sudden. Nice. I feel like it happens. Do you like olives? Oh, I love olives. I think he got me into them. You got me into martinis. Yeah. No, I love olives. I think for me, you know what it was that switched? We should make some olives right now. I'd be fucking nabbing them, dude. Blue cheese, I think I came around to in my 20s. Suddenly made sense.

But it's tough. It still tastes like a tire, I think. A tire? It's good. I think it tastes like a tire, but it's kind of good. Yeah. I like the creamy dip the most. I feel like it's hard for me to get involved when I'm seeing the chunks. The mold. The literal mold. The physical mold. I'm like. That's tough. You know? Yeah. Getting involved in that seems like, I don't know, I feel like maybe I might accidentally start The Last of Us or something like that, you know? Yeah, probably. But that started in bread. Yeah.

It started in bread? In the show. In wheat. Oh, I actually have not seen the show yet. It's good. Oh, that's a good one. I've heard good things about it. Put it on your watch list. Yeah, let's watch it. Let's put it on. Can you pull up the entirety of The Last of Us show? Yeah. The Last of Us show. Do you guys need to be anywhere soon? Free download. What? No. Okay. Yeah, so we can watch it. No, this will get copyrighted. No, no. No, we'll get struck for this. But by the video game or the movie? Because they're shot for shot. Am I right, ladies?

Well, we're providing commentary on the entirety of the show. And speaking of a show, what a show you guys put on this recent April. Nice, dude. That's awesome. I have to commend you guys because I had known that you guys were, obviously, for a while. We've been friends. So I knew what was going on. But-

But it was I wasn't sure how you guys were and it was awesome when you guys told me to it That was great because I knew before everyone else. I just want everyone to know that a lot of people knew I mean plenty of people Actually everyone I Did know yeah, but I know I think word carried but it also I think it's really cool That's a lot of people knew and didn't say anything

- Oh, surely not. - I could have easily put that shit out there. - I saw that going on and I was like, this needs to play out. This needs to play out the way that it does. - Nice. - And how it, you mean in terms of us knowing and then just me spilling the beans before the April Fools thing? - Just say nobody, yeah, nobody said anything. - Nobody mentioned or slipped anything. - No, that's really cool. - About us being together in any way. - Oh yeah. - It's so funny though when you said that show you put on in April, I thought you were talking about our sitcom live show that we did.

That was in I forgot that we got married I guess yeah, oops I was me it was me that was the one with Amanda was playing the old Yeah, yeah. Oh, and you guys were switching out. Yeah should be in the next one I would I would do I have to come to Los Angeles for it. Yeah New York we could do a bit where we go to New York in the middle of it. It could be funny. Oh

That would be crazy. I love that. I mean, I'm down. Look, give me an excuse to go to the woods. That sounds cool. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I'm trying to remember when we told you. I remember it was just like, we were in the middle of a conversation, you guys, and you were like, by the way, we're engaged. Oh, yeah. When was that? And I was like, what? Huh.

I'm trying to remember. I feel like it was at Jarvis's thing. I think it was at Jarvis's. Oh, probably. Yeah, you were just like, very good.

I was like, cool. Yeah. But how did you, when did you guys just, was this just a timing thing or did you guys decide like, we're going to talk about, we're going to April 1st? It was kind of just, it just kind of lined up really well. And then it was your idea to announce it on April 1st, just because it was a couple of days after we got married. Yeah. Yeah. Cause the date was three 29. And then I was just like, well, like what if we just, because we're fools, you know? No, I mean it was legendary. I feel like a lot, like out of any sort of like annunciations,

Announcement of Of marriage That is The funniest way That you guys Could have done that Because it Because For the people That were like Going crazy Trying to figure Like whatever Like shipping you guys Or whatever Like that

- They got confirmation, but like they still couldn't believe it. - Yeah. - Like it didn't allow them to like, it was like, it was awesome. I just like, I had a great time. I was just like going through the replies, just watching people squirm online, trying to figure out what the hell was going on. - That was a wild time where like,

people who didn't even know who Smosh was what like they were invested in like wait did they yeah yeah because over at Smosh and like with us I feel like we never have anything that's like being talked about online you know like which is a good thing I think overall to just be doing some just doing our thing you know yeah

But to suddenly have the thing where like even on your own feed you have people like talking about a thing Yeah, it's the first time it's ever happened to me and I'm not for something terrible I know also that I can't imagine. Yeah, just like a whole bunch of people happy for you guys And then they the fans like I found out they were like celebrating our six month like anniversary There's like happy six months How like

In that first week or couple, several week period after, when did it get, the people wondering about, when did that get old? I think I regretted it a little bit three or four days after when I realized people were not believing us still. Yeah, because we were so certain they were like, they're going to believe it. Like, look at these pictures. And we posted more stuff the day after. On April 2nd, we posted more things. It's like, all right, now they're going to know it's real. And then they didn't.

And I was like, oh, fuck. This maybe sucks a little bit. Right. They were like studying the root growth in my hair to like see if if the photos were shot at a different time or like before or after the office was celebrating it. It was so it was so strange. It was so funny how some people like would connect all these dots to prove that it was a prank, that we weren't married.

and knowing that they're wrong, but they're doing all this research. And I'm like, if I was just some random person, I might believe them. Yeah. Because they've really pieced this all together how it's all not real. Yeah. Which maybe it is. Surely at this point now, everyone's just like, yeah, now they're. Yeah. There's still some people. I still see, and maybe they're joking, but some people are still like, I still don't believe it. That's ridiculous. Yeah, no, but I think overall though, in terms of the, I think it was a really funny, worth it choice.

in the long run I mean obviously you guys could figure out whether or not it was worth it but no I mean they would

- They wouldn't have believed us. - Thank you, no it is now. - We've said this before. They wouldn't have believed us if it wasn't on April Fools, I feel like. It still was such a wacky thing. But yeah, it was a wild few weeks of just being perceived that I'd... I also, I talked about this on our podcast where I didn't realize what I was saying goodbye to, how our thing was just ours and suddenly it was just this egg that was now cracked open. - Now it's all of ours. - I know, now it's everyone. - Now it belongs to everyone. - Now you're all in our relationship. - Yeah, I mean...

I think that when it comes to, for me, at least personally, I think when it comes to like relationships in the future, like I definitely would do what you guys did where I would just wait until marriage to like publicly...

If I were to, I'd just be like, hey, I'm married now. I wonder if we're going to see it more, not because of us, but because of so many other content creators who've been in relationships. It's a lot to be in a relationship and have the stages and people are involved and judging it. For some people, there is an

I've noticed that in some cases there is an advantage though to having, but not to a relationship, to a breakup. There are like two instances I can think of right now where a breakup video has like elevated content creators to like being really, really huge. Yeah, but also like some of those breakup videos where it's like,

I think we've made sketches about him where it's like yeah he did cheat on me but we mutually agreed to break up and it's just like the most cringe please respect our privacy at this time I don't even know any YouTubers names that I could reference that being but I feel like

It's definitely the general vibe. Some people benefit from some truly awful situations. But you're never going to know if it's going to benefit you until after the fact. It's definitely a shot in the dark for sure. Yeah, and that's not a great one to make. But I would say though, in terms of how I view that April Fool's thing, I would say for me it's at the same level as Schlatt did a thing years ago where he was first streamed back

In like two years. And you, you want to explain that one? I don't know what you're talking about. Talking about the Minecraft stand. Oh, you can tell it. He doesn't give a shit about it. You're right there. You're right there. It was your win. What happened? No, but I feel, do you not like telling this? Oh, no. It's just, I didn't think it was like that. I would compare it to the same like level of like this. Of epicness? Of epic. Like this is like such a funny thing to do. Oh.

Yeah, okay. Yeah, I went live for the first time in two years. I used to be a streamer and I kind of pivoted to YouTube and then I'm like, all right, I'm coming back. And it's like 200,000 almost people watching them. Yeah. And the first thing I did on stream was run a command that banned every Twitch chatter with a username. I remember a couple of this. That was like Stan Culture related. Oh.

It's like 100,000 plus names on there or something. I remember, and you're laughing as they just get deleted and deleted. I saw that clip. That went through TikTok for you for a while. It was timed up to some classical piece that I really loved. Right when it started swelling, I hit the enter key and it just started coming in. You could see the feet of it going, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba.

But it's like the robot just like killing all of these accounts. It has to say Carl Jacobs, George Notbam. Ripped away. Yeah, yeah. It's like that AI baby that's a baby. I want to see this. Oh, yeah. I do want to watch this clip. Don't copyright strike this. No, I won't. Don't worry. People were like, what is this? I was in the other room when this was happening. Twitch account that had...

Now I'm like in the part of the opposite- That's a cut out of the pulp. In it? In it, yeah, Tommy in it. Blade loves Ramboo. Davey loves Ramboo. Devin loves Tommy in it. Yeah, this was a good moment.

Gentlemen, if you are part of the lucky few who will remain after this- I'm pissed I didn't have the chat up for these clips, but it was- it was- oh! There you go, you did. No! Let's go! That's just everyone getting- It's such like a feel-good thing of just like-

It's like you just, but it's like he's nuking. Yeah, it's like it's evil, but it's harmless. I love it. Because they all hated me. Because I was on the Minecraft servers of all these people. Oh, right. And like every time I logged in, they were like trying to dox me and like. Oh, shit. No, they hated him. They hated me.

So this was definitely a nice release. This is magical. How did you make this list? I know some programmers. Also, I was a computer science student before I dropped out. Amazing. And Ludwig was watching this live. He was watching my stream live on his stream as it was happening. And his reaction to it is even better than this clip. Those banned people were then able to watch you.

Yeah. Yeah. No, that was that was that was a great moment, too. That's awesome. Incredible. Did that make them hate you more? Oh, I was I was trending pretty heavily that day on Twitter. You just give it no give it no mind. Eventually. Yeah. But I was curious because you didn't you do a face reveal?

Yeah, in 2019. Whoa. Yeah, and so that's kind of, I think, even closer to a face reveal is sort of a coming out of sorts. What made you decide to do a face reveal? Coming out? Guys, I do have a face. I mean, yeah, because it's something that's really no one's business, but is a huge part of us. Yeah. I'm really jealous of faceless YouTubers.

Yeah. Because you kind of get your, you can just kind of switch to your regular life. Yeah. And then you get to have a cool character that's like a fox wearing a tux. And they're like, who doesn't want to be a fox wearing a tux? Don't draw that, you assholes. Don't draw that. That's an anime character. That's already all over the internet. It's too late.

Yeah, so I was having a lot of popularity playing Minecraft back in the day. And the finale of my arc on this Minecraft server was killing the Ender Dragon, which is beating the game. And so I uploaded the video on the day before TwitchCon because I was like, okay, I'm going to TwitchCon. No one knows what I look like. So let me just pop it in a five second thing at the end of the video.

where I beat the Ender Dragon, and then all of a sudden, oh, there's his face, just totally unannounced. It wasn't in the title or anything. You had your cute little slide-ins. Yeah, yeah. My cute face, 50 pounds lighter, you know? Very attractive to Twitter. Jamie, pull that up. Yeah, I logged on to Twitter afterwards, and it was going crazy. Wow.

Wow. Yeah. And photos like that with the hearts and shit were like all of the replies on Twitter. All the profile pictures. All the profile pictures. Yeah. I like the one right beneath it with you with a gun. Several years later. Excellent on the lunch club. We love that. Avoid the vans or avoid the pictures? Because I didn't...

People were being thirsty? Yeah, they were. They were. I've only met him a couple times, but I feel like you, without the...

the facial hair i feel like you look a lot like ludwig i haven't seen myself without blood wig i think there's similarities i mean y'all got pointy nose same default yeah there's a forza streamer that looks exactly like me really yeah virtual virtual or whatever yeah that kid looks like me i could see that i see that yeah is he good

I don't know. The only moment I've ever seen from his content is a donation. EJ flat. No, a donation of him playing Forza. And the text to speech goes, someone donates and he goes, I love you. You're my favorite racist. Damn.

Because in Forza, you race. Oh, my God. Wow. Yeah. Okay. Oh. That's awesome. Damn. That's funny. For a while, his face would come up when you search for Jay Shlatt. Wow. That's super funny. So how do you feel about that time? Do you like... I'm really glad I did the face reveal, and I'm really glad I got these, because I think it helped me establish a character that I can kind of...

push to the side when the camera's not on because like when when the camera's off i'm very quiet and reserved and then once the camera comes out right now on this episode once the camera comes out and the benedictine starts flowing then i become a loud new yorker he's so back um

Wow. Oh. A little for the roaches. A little for the roaches. Pour one out for the roaches. I don't want to waste all of it. Have you seen that video of that child when they're playing the game and they spill the soda and the little girl's like, Ew. What the fuck? Do it. Bring it up. Bring it up. Bring it up. She looks like she's being starved. Like she's desperate for some sugar. Like she's never had sugar in her life or she knows what it is and she needs it. Look up little girl lapping on sugar. Okay, Google this. Little girl lapping.

No, no, no, no, no. Go back. Go back to some other result. Like, like, like little girl, little girl, little girl, little girl grabbing soda. He's like, I can't, sir. Yeah, it's that one on the left, the top left one. That one right there.

Okay. Watch this. There it is. Look at her. She's like desperately trying to grab as much of it as possible. That's awesome. Every time. Every time she's grabbing it. Oh, goodness. That's crazy. That's insane. Look at her. What in the world? That's awesome. Long-winded joke. That Benedictine on the ground, that's what the roaches are going to do. Yeah.

Grabbing it like that. That's what Slat's going to do after this is done. Well, this is almost run dry. We're going to need another bottle for tomorrow. Do you not have other bottles? No, it's the only one. And some fans. Have you ever had Chambord? No, I've had Chartreuse.

Nice. Chambord is really delicious. What is that? It's a raspberry liqueur. Have you ever had a... What is it? Yeah, there it is. You've seen it. That looks good. Oh my God. It's delicious. We need to have something like this for our podcast. Come do... Oh, you guys hire him? Oh!

He's like, I'm out of here. You guys have like 100 employees at Smosh. You can just throw someone on there. Everyone's busy. No, they're not. We're uploading content like every day. How many times a day?

I think once a day we have something go up somewhere. Not enough. It's all like an hour long. Really? That's a lot of work too. It's a lot of shit. Are you guys on Adderall? I've always sort of... I probably should be. I'd probably be a lot better if I was. You guys will never become the SNL of YouTube unless it's a cocaine-fueled... That's true. You know? No, the amount of cocaine at SNL I'm sure is...

So insane. Yeah. I never tried it. I hope to die never to have tried it. I think I would like it too much. So I'm scared of trying it. Really? I think I would love it. You definitely would like cocaine. I think I would like it. If I had ever tried cocaine, then what I would maybe tell you, I think, but I'm not sure, is that for someone with ADHD who takes ADHD medicine, it kind of doesn't do anything.

Well, ADHD medicine is basically meth. Yeah, it is. It is. It's just like, well, let's sprinkle some sugar on some sugar. Yeah. I've heard heroin is fucking electric. And don't do it. You were saying this last night, actually. You said this last night. He said we were hanging out watching funny videos, and then at some point he was like, I feel like I...

I could try heroin and not get addicted to it. I think I could do it. You know who's all said that? This is exactly what I said to him. You know what? You should try, though. I told him 50% of people who are addicted to heroin said exactly the thing you just said. Who the fuck wouldn't take heroin? Who's getting into it to like...

I really want to be addicted to this. Well, I think a lot of them get into it kind of by like pain medication. It like leads somewhere like funneled in from other means. Yeah, something like that. I don't think everyone goes straight to heroin. You and McGregor had to do it for his job. For his acting job. But you're talking about truly the needle in front of you. It's like, I'm more powerful than this. You should try therapy. Do they have heroin? No.

- They have feelings. - Talk about your feelings. - But for us poets, words are our heroine. - Oh, don't do it. - Thinking of cocaine, I had this realization in my 20s when I was just always like, I'd get sleepy at parties and I kind of give up. It would hit like 1:00 or 2:00 AM and I'm like, I can't hang and everybody else is still going.

And then at a certain point, I was like, oh, it's cocaine. They're on cocaine. People are doing cocaine, and that's how they can party so much longer than I can. You thought something was wrong? I really thought something was wrong with me. I was like, why can't I do it like so many people can? Damn. Like, I have a few drinks, and I'm tired, because that's what happens. Yeah. Unless you do cocaine.

- Yeah, you're making a pretty good case for it. - No, no, no. - Unless you use cocaine, you won't be able to have as much fun. What were you saying? - Do not do drugs. - Don't do it. - Cigarettes. - Now those are cool. - Also known as? - And good. And I was listening to a press-- - Funny Sticks. - Funny Sticks. - We call them Funny Sticks around here. - I was listening to a court hearing from the 90s and apparently it's not addictive and it's good for you. - Yeah, how did they pull that? - What?

That win. How'd they say that in court? They did actually say that shit. They testified that it was not addictive in like the 80s or 90s. Like did they believe genuinely that it wasn't addictive? They knew it was addictive. They knew. They didn't give a shit. But they testified in court. You can't lie there. No, you can't. Yeah, they've been proven. You literally can't. They put their hand on the Bible.

Did you guys watch The Jinx? The Jinx? It's the documentary about that murderer? No. Oh, my God. It was like a few years ago. Sir, you must watch season one and season two that just came out. Both jaw-dropping shows. The Jinx, the life and death of Robert Durst. You've never heard of Robert Durst? Of a serial killer? Oh, dude, this documentary is fucking awesome. Wait, so it looks awesome. Based on that cover, it looks like they interviewed him. Oh, yeah. Yes. He agreed to...

to go on it. Like he's he was like he was has been accused and thought to have murdered several people for like decades, but he kind of got away with it. And then they wanted to do this documentary. He's like, Yeah, I'll do it because he's such a cocky asshole that he was like, Yeah, sure.

Oh, is this the one where he got like arrested on the set? He kept forgetting he was miked. He admits it, yeah. It's fucking awesome. It's unfortunately... And then the season two is equally insane. It's insane and it's great that obviously he's an idiot and he kind of incriminates himself through this whole process. He is... Yeah, he's a huge idiot.

And it's kind of funny at times how stupid he is. - Wow. - But it's also deeply sad that he kind of got away with it for so long. - Yeah. - So even a stupid person could get away with it.

If you're a billionaire. And if you put a mic on you for long enough. What did he do? He was part of like a rich family. Oh. And when he went to get away, he pretended to be an old woman living in an apartment for like what, like a year? I forget. He did some wacko shit. He was insane. And the things that he says, if you put a microphone on him or in front of him, whether it's in the courtroom, he just inevitably, the more he talks. Disgust.

It's awesome. And in season two, the prosecutor is like ready to freaking get at his throat and he makes the guy talk himself into it's crazy. You must watch it. That sounds like it's incredible. Yeah.

It's got 90% on raw tomatoes. Yeah, dude. That sounds pretty fresh. Growing up, did you guys have a Christmas tree or a nativity scene in your living room? Both. Both. Both nativity scene was above the mantle. You're talking to a couple of Catholics. Irish over here. My mom, instead of a Christmas tree, she built a manger and had a big baby doll that when I was born- Built a manger? Like a full one? Like we're talking big? It was just like a little crisscross guy, but I was born-

born that time and so my family would take that baby doll and pretend they were dropping me in front of her. That's awesome. Okay. Rock on. I thought that you were going to say that your family put you in the manger. I thought that was the main thing. There is a picture of me in the manger. There is a picture of bald ass me in the manger. There is. And I remember it was itchy. So how did you get over your baldness? I don't know. I think I might remember. No, I'm not bald. Was your first memory just being itchy in the manger? Itchy in the manger.

My first memory was a poopy corner poopy corner poopy corner this way Yeah, I was a toddler wearing diapers my first memory where I like where I was like Was me needing the shit and then crawling over to the poopy corner Which was just the corner of the living room in between the wall in it and your first before you could walk. Oh

That's the only one I got from back then. Holy shit. I don't have any from there. And just, just, just.

- Just in the corner. - You facing the corner or- - I was facing the wall. - You were in the- - Yeah. - I thought you were really a baby. - That's intense, dude. - My next memory is a running- - 17. - 17, I'm back in the poopy corner. - Back in the poopy corner, I'm staring at the wall. - Lots changed since then though, there's a lot more lore. - No, my second memory is a run-in with a Cosmic Brownie. - Oh.

- As a little guy? - That's crazy. - My body just reacted viscerally to it and I just remember that as well. - When you're under six years old and you have a cosmic brownie, that has to be similar to the feeling of doing heroin the first time. - Yeah. - 'Cause it's nuts when you're a little kid and you have one of those. - I saw a tweet where someone was saying that, "I think that somewhere along the line, we grow out of the enzyme that allows us to process a cosmic brownie." - I can't enjoy them anymore. - Aww. - At a certain point,

- Well yeah, 'cause it's like, it's not fudge, it's not a brownie, it's a whole different, like I wouldn't be surprised if it was like-- - It's bugs. - Yes. - If it's like the smite or bricks. - I think it might be bugs. - Sprickets, dude. - How's the little cockroach doing by the way over there? - Is he dead? - Oh, I mean, he's in his tomb. He started crawling away and I placed a water bottle over him.

And I said, that's your tomb. I'm out, buddy. Okay. So, but I, maybe I'll put a gold coin under there so he goes to heaven or something. Okay. Across the river. Something for Chiron. I mean, yeah. Maybe not a gold coin. Maybe like a penny. Yeah. That's enough. That's all that they need for passage. Yeah. What's your earliest memory? My earliest memory?

I don't know. It's hard to like place them. Like there's some where I'm like, did that take place beforehand or after? I think I have one from Halloween where I'm dressed as a pumpkin. Maybe I was like four or three. Pumpkin. Yeah. You were dressed as a pumpkin? I think I was a pumpkin. Ew. This is the 90s and I was a little kid. That's awesome. What year were you born? 91. Whoa.

- Whoa. - Such a cool year. - The old time. - It's such a cool sounding year. - Did you game at all? Were you guys gamers? - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Yeah, dude. I remember when we got the N64. - Okay, that's crazy. - And that was a big deal. - That's the one thing that I think connects me to you guys of the older generation, the millennials.

Well, I'm Jen we're Gen Z you guys are like you're like you're technically a millennial That's a millennial yeah, and I was also like all my older than me so like I was very much surrounded by that culture Mm-hmm, but I know the memes. I love the me. No you're with it. You're hip Millennials are weird though cuz like some Millennials are in there like 40s. Oh

Yeah. It's a huge window. Or isn't that dimming into Gen X, though?

Yeah. Gen X is after. It's tickling it a little bit. But elder millennials are in their 40s now. Yeah. Get that little chart. Oh, yeah. You're right on the cusp right there. 95. But saying zillennial is so cringe. Some people are saying like it's 96. I'm saying 97. Yeah. But the difference between what is it? What's that start date? I don't have my glasses. Is it 1981 to 1995? It's 80 to 95. That's 50.

- 15 years? - Yeah. - Yeah, and same with '96, 2010. - I refute the idea that someone born in 2010 has anything in common with me. - Yeah, I mean, we definitely have-- - That's a different beast. - I'll tell you one thing. When I was, as an older Gen Z, I suppose,

I got like my first gaming console was a hand-me-down Nintendo 64. Okay, so that's I was playing. So you were I played Donkey Kong 64 I was playing some of the I mean sometimes I would borrow one so there was some WWE games that you could play on Nintendo 64 They're pretty fun. I think you know what I think it is. How old were you when you got a cell phone?

I was 13. I was 11. I was 11. Or maybe 12. I was in middle school. I had a Motorola Razr. It was, hmm. Okay. Well, a cell phone. I don't think I was 13. I was definitely younger. I might have been 10. That's a joke. But I think that's the thing is like, I think that's why young Gen Z are so different is because they grew up where anyone who was born after the era where like you kind of had the internet in your face from a very early age.

- I just think it changed people. - I remember when I found out about YouTube, you know? It was like a thing. - I remember too. - Like this website. - The first thing I remember was in sixth grade walking through like this one like quad area and some girl going like, "Shows." And we got shows. And I was like, "What?" And she's like, "You have to go look up this video." - Let's get some shows. - And then I remember getting on YouTube and like searching random videos and the panda sneeze. Do you remember the baby panda sneeze? - That's a classic.

I watched that 30 times. But like, I feel like young Gen Z just are, that's where it's like, oh, we're new types of people now. Yeah. Yeah. I'm not saying good or bad, just completely different. Gen Alpha. Gen Alpha, I've heard, I've heard legend of Gen Alpha. I will make an argument about Gen Alpha though. A lot of people are like, oh, because I feel like Gen Alpha is right now, it's currently synonymous with Skibbity Toilet. Yeah. But for me growing up,

YouTube I saw like skibbitytoilet is just a gmod video. Skibbitytoilet doesn't seem that bad to me. Skibbitytoilet was the clone trooper. Yeah, Skibbitytoilet is Charlie Dean Park. You know like growing up I saw Shrek is Life, Shrek is Love. You know like yeah, I think Skibbitytoilet is mild. But also like when we were growing up there was a lot of like weird gmod videos that like Tucker and I would watch and send each other and like

Skippy Toilet is also made in Gmod. But were those as widespread and popular as Skippity Toilet is? Now it's the mainstream. You're right. Honestly, it was. Those were like gamer memes. Yeah. You're right. You're right. It was a little on Skippity. Yeah, I don't.

Maybe yeah, there is no so guess we weren't as cool as you I I will say this I've watched I've watched some skibbity-toilet. I make sis I Understand how a 12 year old would think it's the craziest funny issue It's it to watch the first episode like this shit shit storm of a like dumb joke Yeah, and then you watch episode 50 and suddenly they're fighting gods and stuff I'm like I if I was 10 I'd be eating this I like that's like I

I think Skibbity Toilet is like what Strong Bad was to me when like every week there was a new one. Strong Bad. Homestar Runner. Oh.

I was never really that one watch like again. I had so many older siblings So a lot of stuff I was watching and taking in what some advanced taste is when I was good You know I I remember a lot of people talking about home star runner But I never I was like I watched some new ground stuff, but not as much home star Yeah, I'm star runner, but you seems like you recognize. I recognize the name There's something from there that I that I remember well They have like those

Is there cartoons on that too? Yeah, and there's lots of characters. They were like baseball head people, right? There was Marzipan, who she looked like a broom. And I can do all the voices, and I really am not going to do that. What do I remember from Homestar Runner? There's something. I never conceived it. Even in memory. I know all the voices, and they were just climbing out of my chest. Can you give us some of the, yeah, let's go. No, I mustn't. You said they're climbing out of your chest right now. I mean, that seems like it might cause some pressure. Like an alien. It might need to come out of your esophagus for your safety. Oh, everybody the limit.

- Is it the people who did it? - Yeah, the song. Hold on. - Oh, "Take it to the Limit." - Yeah. - Okay, I do know that. - Come on, for who God speaks. - Yeah. Uh-huh, uh-huh. Yeah, this I know. This doesn't have nearly as many views as I thought it would. - I know, that's how forgotten it is. - Was it re-uploaded? No, 15 years ago.

Everybody delivered. Yeah, that's pretty good.

He's got it. Well, they had their own website, right? Yeah. Homestarerunner.com. So maybe that's where the most- Yeah, we don't- Nobody goes- You don't find out about websites anymore, about weird stuff. I know. There's no browsing anymore. It is like the internet has been locked down by the main social media websites. You don't like- You used to be able to go and sit down and I'm like, I'm going to go to the internet right now. Yeah. And then I'm going to unplug and leave the internet. Yeah. Whereas now you're just kind of always on the internet. It's almost like-

It's like the social media sites are an internet of their own Almost and like the streaming services are trying to do a thing to where they're like Netflix has games now I know you know, it's like no play Grand Theft Auto San Andreas. Oh, no YouTube has games Games on your discord games

That feels a little more synonymous with games. People's fridges probably have games. That's, oh, remember when I, oh wait, you weren't there. I once got, you know the video, the show with To Be Rachel meme that was on TikTok? I got a viral TikTok to play on a Samsung fridge. Really? Yeah. Over and over, like looping? Yeah. Oh, that's awesome. It's a video where a girl convinces her mom that Jesus was spotted in Ohio.

Oh, yeah, yeah mom believes her for a bit. Yeah, she's like she's like Rachel send me the video She's like she's like Rachel. She's like on Facebook. There's footage of him in Ohio. She's like send it to me Rachel Oh, you gotta bring that up. That's so good Yeah, yeah Jesus was seen

Where, Rachel? Oh my god. Show me to me, please. Send it to me, Rachel. I feel like she's losing her mind. I've literally seen in Ohio. Please send it to me. Oh, please. Oh my god. This is crazy. Okay, Rachel, which one? Which one? Is it on TikTok?

I think I'd have this reaction if Jesus came back too. I think this, I've thought about this a lot because you are witnessing someone who truly believes that Christ is back. Yeah. And is in Ohio. I'm like, that's a crazy thing to witness. Someone who that's their world right now. Yeah, no, she literally just thought that he came down. That's going to be me when aliens are finally here. Yeah. I'm going to be like crying. My hot take is I think nobody's going to give a fuck because I feel like

This past year, suddenly, there's been tons of like,

I've seen like headlines where it's like, yeah, government official comes out saying like, yeah, it's real. And but everyone's moved on. Conspiracy theorists have now gone full racist. So they kind of don't care about aliens anymore. Yeah, they're like because they kind of just they don't give a shit about it. I don't even know what they believe anymore. I don't think it was more concrete. They know what they care about anymore. Conspiracy theories used to be like fun. Yeah, they used to be crazy. There's a trap door on the Sphinx's head. Yeah, it was stuff like that. And now it's now it's now. Now there's always some sort of angle where it's like,

And in order to solve this conspiracy, we have to take away people's rights. Yeah. It always comes down to racism. We got to start killing whole groups of people to fix this problem. And then before it was just like, the aliens are making art in our corn. And in two years, you're going to be able to type it into ChatGPT and generate a full, believable video of Jesus Christ coming back in Ohio. Yeah, and show it to your mom and she'll believe it.

- Yeah. - What a crazy world. AI for boomers. They're believing all of it too. - My mom was sending me some of those gorilla couches and she was like, "You need these for your apartment." I'm like, "Mom, do you realize all of those are 100% generated in AI?" And she was like, "Wait, what?" - What's that? - Oh God. - She's like, "Wait, what are you talking about?" - Oh God. - It's like the most egregious,

If somebody made that in real life, it would be like a $14 million couch. You realize them thinking all of those AI-generated images are real means our parents are in the Matrix. Whoa, which one? They are actually in the Matrix right now. The green one? The big, the black one. That's fucking insane looking. She sent that to me. And also, that's on Amazon. No.

That's on Amazon. That's an AI photo. Let's check the reviews. There's no way. What? That's not real. That's not real. What do the reviews say? This is real. It's a $10,000 couch. It's real. This is a... It's a generate couch. Yeah. Do not buy this. Scared the little kids when I put it together. Best nap I've ever had. Is this fully illegal to do? This has to be a fake listing. Oh, surely. I mean... Evil solar pigeons? I mean... I'd love to get the family together to squeeze onto the grouch.

Oh my God. I've never seen a fake Amazon listing before. This couch is fantastic. Okay. It reminds me of my cousin and brings a fellow gorilla back into the true essence of resting in my mother's arms when I was just an infant.

Wow, beach chest. This product is amazing. It reminds me of my late father, manic gorilla sounds. What would mania sound and look like in a gorilla? Oh, bad. Probably that video of the one breaking the glass at the zoo. I love that video. You seen that one? Yeah. It's awesome. Yeah. So no, she sent that to me and she was like, no, this is real. This is real.

She's like, it's real. I'm buying it for you. It's a fake listing. But what happens if you buy this? You get nothing. Someone said, do not buy this. Maybe it just keeps getting delayed shipping. It's probably a picture. $10,000? $10,000. That one looks real. That one looks really cool. That one looks a little.

Yeah, it's like the airbrush smoothness of it, you can tell. I would have a blast. In a year, that'll be completely gone. You know it's AI generated when all of them are completely different. Well, next episode of this podcast will be on the gorilla couch. I wish. That would be really nice. We're going to drop 10 grand on the fake gorilla couch. I bet it's not hard to make.

- I bet you it's real. - Smosh and GMM both have like set designers, right? - Yeah. - Maybe you could pull some strings. - We could request the gorilla couch. - How many people work at Smosh, sorry, I totally just cut you off. - That was fucking crazy, Ted. - I'm sorry. What were you gonna say? - I don't know what I was gonna say. I bet if we like showed a picture of this,

one or two would definitely just try and make it on their spare time. - Yeah. - Yeah, something that'll work on the side. - Yeah. - And you could sell it for 10 grand easy. - Yeah. - There we go. - Probably cost like five grand to make, but. - Yeah. - 'Cause you have to get a gorilla. - You're asking how many people work at Smosh? - Yeah, how many people work at Smosh? - I think it fluctuates a little bit 'cause there's like freelance and stuff, but there's like 40-ish. - Yeah, I think so. - A lot of people. - Yeah, that's a lot of people. - Dude. - A lot of people.

Three is enough for me. Well, look at that. Pulled it up. Wow. Wow. He's a CEO. He's a CEO. I mean, every company needs a CEO. Dude, you go to the office there, it's like...

They've got scooters. They have... We have scooters? You have one scooter. We have a scooter. You have one scooter and I used it. This is the same day I climbed to the top of the thing. You guys probably know why she looks at me as like a little... Because I was like in the office like using the scooter. I was climbing to the top of the stuff. I'm swinging around. I'm like, I'm hungry.

No, I remember you, we had you waiting for a long time because on this day. I also was late one day too that I came into Smosh. I think this was the same day, right? I slept in. Yeah, so you actually slept through your alarm. Because you guys had me scheduled for like a 7.30 a.m. No, it was 8. No, it's 8 a.m. is the earliest. Okay, who...

And then, but then you came as soon as you could. I did say yes to that time though, so. You came as soon as you could, but then we were like, but that video that you now are going to be in isn't till the afternoon. And so you were sitting there, you got restless and I was like, oh boy, I got to entertain this guy. Did you actually have that thought? I was like, oh no, I was like, oh no, we're losing him. I wasn't ever going to leave.

I was never going to leave because I was late. So I was like, I need to provide them something here. So I was going to stay. And I don't. So you provided mischief.

- But isn't that like sort of fulfilling? - A gift? - Yes. - Isn't that like a gift at the end of the day? - You gave our PAs something to do. - I became the office elf. - I also don't know what we would expect from a YouTuber guest. How is a YouTuber supposed to act? - That episode that we ended up, it would end up being for Smosh Games. That ended up being- - You cried. - I was crying laughing. That was so fun. - That's awesome.

- Oh, it's very fun. - Yeah, Bug Boy? - Bug Boy? - What was it? - Roach? Bug Boy? - Is that what you play on Smosh games? - We played Jackbox. - Oh, really? - Yeah, but we were all on one couch. No, but it was blast. - Can I come and we play Kitten Cannon? - Yes! - Oh, that was my shit. - Here, we should play a round.

- Tucker, yeah, get on Kitten Candy, man. - This is what I played so much of when I was young. - Oh my God. - This was one of the first things I did on the internet. - No, we can do one of the ties. - It was the G.I. Joe videos and this. - Is this like at all similar to the code name Kids Next Door Flight of the Hamsters game on cartoonnetwork.com? - I played this game so much. - Just hit space. - You just hit space, you just.

And you're just hoping to like hit bombs and stuff. It's purely luck. Nice. It's all. Oh, shit. Oh, my God. 550. We'll give it another go. You can get up to 10,000. So you need to get the angle, right? Yeah, that was a weak one, Tucker. You want to get those.

- Oh! - Not too good, Tucker. - Not great. - You gotta aim higher, bro. - Aim it a little up, there you go. And then wait, get that full power, boom. - Oh, you gotta press and hold. - There you go. - You're getting worse every time, Tucker. - Yeah. - Press and hold. - Press and hold. - Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah. You see how the bar goes up and down? - Okay. - Okay, now this is looking good. - Oh, okay. All right. - Oh, this is... That's his high score.

Not a bad high score. You could get over a thousand easily. I would lower the cannon a little bit. You want it full power. I would lower the cannon a little bit more. Oh. Oh. If you lower it a little bit more, you get a little more velocity. That's pretty good. Just an unlucky run there. I feel like I'm under luck here.

It's mostly worse. You're getting worse every time. Okay, getting under 100 feet. Yeah, that happened to Jambo last night. Shlatt, I'm surprised you played this. I loved this back in the day. It was this and Zwock. Do you remember Zwock? Lost media at this point. But it was like worms, but snowball fight. Okay. Yeah. Pretty good. This is, man. Yeah. This brings back memories. Come on on. Come over. Come on.

- Please. - Can we just play this though? - We could totally play Kit and Cannon for an hour. - I think that and then, yeah, and then just that. - Just get like super into it. - It would do very well as an episode. - Just like the vein popping out of your breath. - It could be anything. - And we shouldn't even talk. We're just there just.

watching it. I'm down. I'm down too. That's actually, we have to just talk about getting cat. We can't talk about other topics. Oh, yeah, wait, here's a, I just remembered something. It's total non-sequitur, completely different than the conversation we were having. Okay. In every shape and form. For a video I did recently, semi-recently, like three videos ago, but it's like seven months ago. I took a page out of your book and did the

What's this? Oh my god. The Chosen, but I adjusted it a little bit. And you had a sea turtle shirt on though. I did have a sea turtle shirt on. You literally did a wolf guy, but you had sea turtle shirt. I love that character you do so much that it was like, I just hope I didn't ruffle any feathers. No.

I'm Jim in every camera while I say that. I don't think anyone cares. You know Jim in the camera? Everyone's the chosen. Like you look at the camera to imply something. No, everyone's the chosen. That's the thing. Oh, okay. You're Alpha Jared. Alpha Jared. Yeah, Alpha Jared lives in Long Beach near the aquarium. It's very addictive to start talking in that voice. I realized that. That's why I wanted to bring it up because I was like, I didn't want, like I would, I'd listen to like,

People who were like that like I tried to find videos online And then I sort of settled with just hearing how you went about it and once you kind of figure it out It's like it's yeah It's very fun and when I when I'm really locked in when you really do it right is when You truly start believing that everything you say is the is like the most badass thing that's ever happened Yeah, that's how you really lock in nobody. I think plays it better than Spencer and

Spencer has the WNBA joke which is the craziest joke probably ever said on Smosh, but It's very fun. It's very addictive and Yeah, I don't at this point everybody on Smosh has played the chosen We do a chosen that was the one you guys were playing like you guys were playing like ping This joke is so good doing something. Oh you're playing zoom be oh

Crazy bonds. You're doing crazy bonds. No, we do like classic things. It's very fun. The lore is that Chosen's from every universe come together once a year to compete. This is a good clip though. What was the first professional sports league to surpass 1 billion followers on social media?

No, it was the NBA. I'm being told it's like the WNBA, but all dudes. That's so interesting that they took your moment out. Yeah, that editing was really strange. Ventro variety, like as if they have real trivia happening. But yeah, it's a very fun character. Do you guys, when you guys are at Smosh, as...

Cast members do you feel a pressure to be always inventing new little characters? I think so a little bit like is that something like you guys like what in terms of the creative process for smosh you guys stress out about the most and

What do we stress out about the most? - What's something that you're like, "Oh, I gotta get this figured out." Is that a weird question? - No, no, not at all. I'm taking a moment 'cause it's been nine years. So it's like after a while, certain things kind of feel easier and other things kind of, like I think weird things that wouldn't be expected or things that freak me out. - Yeah, we don't have meetings to come up with new characters. It's just kind of a thing as you go along, it's just like, "Oh shit." - Yeah. - I definitely imagine something that you are at home and you're like,

On a personal level, I'll be like, man, I haven't come up with a new character in a long time. Yeah. But then, Will, we had this episode of Bit City that just came out, which is a bunch of different segments within a show that are all sketches and stuff. And he did an interview as the third son to Stephen King. And you literally, I've never seen you practice it or say anything about it to anybody. And you went and did that. And that one's obviously coming back. It's so funny. Yeah.

Yeah, what was that guy? What was the whole stick? I just played him like you know cuz cuz a lot of authors are just weird people and like Stephen King is such a psycho like yeah looks so weird maybe and his sons look exactly the same Stephen King character or something. I was just Stephen King's son like third son that nobody's heard about right? Oh

Oh, God. Oh, God. Not the millions of sketches that we've fucking done. Yeah, I don't know. It's very recent. I was going to say on YouTube. It would be like a compilation thing. I don't know. It's all right.

Beverly Marsh. He's not going to find it. It's okay. It's okay. Sorry. Heidi Ray Old. Oh, yeah. You just kind of like... It's just funny to see some... Because I wouldn't want to have the job that Tucker has right now of trying to find something that's like searching through the internet. It's super hard. Oh. It's okay. Is this a new... This is a new... It's very new. So it's...

It's okay. Sorry. Sponsored! Nice. I just love it how Shane's saying it's okay in the same delivery. It's okay. No, but there's definitely a pressure, but it's not like said out loud. It's more of an internal pressure of like, oh shit, I need to come up with something. The CEO is like,

We need new characters.

When was the last time you made a new character? We did have series that we were using to try and be like a churning engine. Never said those two words together before, but like a place to create a churning engine for characters. Like we had America's Next Top something, and so we did America's Next Top Simp. Yeah. That's where Dominic came from. We just would play darts, but we would be characters. That's right. Darts is the new. That's how Spencer made Fred Darts, who was probably the most recently loved character. Yeah, he was the guy who was like,

Oh boy. Yeah. And he's like, he's like, well, somebody say meatloaf. And if you go to the limb biscuit break stuff, um, music video, uh, you will see the top comments are like quoting him and his character. Wow.

Then we do our gentlemen stuff which has been really big this past year where we just try to dress up as gentlemen play games and You have some good clubs. There's some we just played the worst people on the planet. Yeah That's like that's like so was This is just a clarification is Spencer was he a player

a part of like the crew and then he became like a on camera person he started as an editor like writer like I think maybe a month or two before us and oh yeah no like a few months before us

And then he was editor and then started kind of producing a little bit more. And then now he's director of Smosh Games. Oh, that's great. I'm sorry. Just one of the suggested things to the right is a LGBT test. A gay test. Gay test. And it says gay test. Good luck passing this five questions.

- If you are gay. - What in the world, buzz test? - Tucker, you gotta try it. - I like that if you fail, it's like, sorry dude, you're not gay. - You failed it. - This is crazy. - How do you pass or fail a gay year? - You are 99.9% gay. - Oh God. - Okay. - We're just gonna give you guys a bunch of viruses on your-- - What is this? - This is like-- - No, that's an ad.

That's an ad. Tucker, get out of here. That's an ad. Get out of here, man. It's all ads. Get out of here. Oh, no. Oh, no. It's like, you're gay. You failed. You're gay. I wonder who that's for because he's on incognito, so it's like this just comes across like some Midwestern friend or something, and he's like, I'm definitely not, but just to be sure. Just check. Where's the bisexual column? Oh.

What? Yeah, wait, which one? There's no bisexual answered. Is that one on the right? Is that bisexual flag? The right is lesbian. Damn. Talk about being forgotten. The far right is lesbian and the left is gay. Isn't that the same thing? What? What?

Think we're all getting heatstroke. I think there's more specific How come lesbians get a flag okay gay people like gay men only get the Larger banner to fly The first one there was a lesbian flag came later, but they're just are they not gay I

But it's representing women or femme people. Femme, you know? But why can't guys get a plan? Oh my god, we've been going for so long. Let's get into this. Let's go. We usually go for like an hour and 15. But why don't the guys get the plan too?

So, no, no, no, no, we're not done. So, hey, it was so good to have you guys on this podcast. I'm so happy to have you here. I am sweating out my, every orifice of my body. At 2 a.m. tonight, and he's there in the corner, they're like, oh, you're a lesbian.

Where's the flag for the men? What are you guys excited about? What are you working on that's coming up? Please tell me, please. Oh, man. Check out Bit City on Smash Channel and then Smash Games. We do silly stuff there as well and all the Smash channels. And where can the people find you guys? Do you guys do anything else outside of Smash or are you just so Smash cool and you just, it's all, you're living and breathing? That's social media. Okay. What are they? Uh, Shane Top most places. The why? Why are you so defensive? I,

I'm not being defensive. Yeah, why are you so defensive, asshole, bitch, motherfucker? This is Chuckle Sandwich. We can swear. Unlike Smosh, where you can't swear. We can't. We can say shit. Yeah, we just kind of bleep it sometimes. Yeah, I know that because I've been bleeped a lot on that channel. Also, if you check out Smosh Mouth, that's the podcast I host. And where can we... That's nice. And where can we... Fuck you. And where can we find...

You can find me. I'm at comill on TikTok, Instagram. And then that's kind of all the things that I'm on on YouTube. And then check out the one hour uncut kitten cannon footage. Yeah, soon to come. That's coming. And what's funny is if that's made before this episode comes out, it's going to be totally uncontextual. Just like... Like you guys cannot smile or laugh.

- Just the whole video. - Just us two sitting there? - Nah, just you two. - Dude, I'm telling you right now. - I'm telling you right now, one million views at least. Like worth the time spent. - Do you guys get to eat on the set of Smosh? Like do you guys have food there? That's the one thing I'll...

Yeah, oh yeah. We get crew lunch. Crew lunch? We get lunch. Like just charcuterie and stuff? Yeah, some cheeses. Just a table. Some cheeses. We have a good snack set up. Maybe. Some meats. Maybe meats. Some bacon. Oh yeah. Would you rather have unlimited bacon but no more video games? No. Or games. Unlimited games. Unlimited games. But no games. No bacon. But no games though. Games or bacon? I am games. What?

No, but you don't get games either way. Wait, what? Did you hear what I said? You said unlimited games, but no games? I feel like he was being pretty crystal clear. Do you want me to say it again? I don't care about bacon. That's all I will say. Whoa. Even unlimited bacon?

Does the bacon, can the bacon appear at any time? Yes. Okay, I'll take the bacon. Unlimited bacon. Because I can then survive anywhere. I'll be fine. What are you doing? I don't want to play video games. You are good. So you're doing games, unlimited games, but no games? Yeah. But there's no games. That's okay. I will watch other people play video games. No, no, no, no. You don't get it.

You're choosing a world where there's no games. Okay. And that's all games. Or no bacon. No, like you can't even joke around with someone. When did I say there wasn't bacon? You said unlimited bacon. Yeah, that's unlimited bacon. That's not no bacon.

That's a, that's, that is a little bacon. Look, he's what he's saying is making sense. Now, and then, and then my question for you guys is if you had to choose what part of the chuckle sandwich you are, you can add an ingredient to it. What would it be? Ooh, I get to add an ingredient. Yeah. Add an ingredient. Like we've got a long toothpick that's going through the sandwich with everything in it at the end of the season. Oh,

We tried to make one at like episode like around the hundredth episode so like maybe 40 episodes ago, and it was I should add is olives oh Well you get you you can you're okay individuals you can choose good, so I'll add olives some green olives Yeah, okay my favorite thing on a sandwich that nobody ever has is bubbies

- Bubbies? - What is that? - They are bread and butter chips. They're like pickles, but like sweet. And they're cut like pickles. - I think the combination of olives and Bubbies is really bad already. - No.

I don't think they work together. Oh, dude, there's like barbacoa on there. There's like, what are some of the crazy ingredients? The vague notion of a gardener. Oh, yeah. Cutting grass with a scythe. Yeah, the vague notion of a man at sunset cutting his lawn with a scythe. That sounds like him. Yeah. Who's that? Danny Gonzalez. Yeah.

What's Bubbies? Bubbies is chips. Look up a picture of Bubbies, please, for the finale search of the podcast. Man, this was almost a two-hour episode. That's crazy. Yeah, how did you miss that? I don't know. I saw. I just like talking to you guys. No, that one. That one. Bubbies. Is this the longest episode ever? So far, yeah. Add to cart three times.

Thank you. Oh, these are actual pickles. Yeah. They are made. They are good for sandwiches, just not with other things. Oh, bread and butter chips. You put them on bread and butter? Mommy.

- No, no, it's a style of- - It's a snacking pickle too, so you just kind of eat it with your hands. - My favorite pickle is Clausen. - Oh, I'm a Clausen man. - Yeah. - That's- - Spears? - Yeah, I like a whole pickle if I can get it. - Wow. - See, I don't like Bubbies 'cause I don't like sweet pickles. - I don't, yeah, it's a little bit too- - I like a savory or spicy. - It's a little too vinegary for me, like this, because that's what- - Careful with that word, buddy. - I guess if you, yeah.

You work with this guy? Damn. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Try Bubbies. Please try Bubbies. Please. I really... Yeah. I love a turkey sandwich with Bubbies. That's crazy. Bubbies. That's a crazy call out. I...

- Hey guys, thanks for watching. - It got so hot. - I know. - You learned us before we started recording. - No, we recorded for way longer. - Yeah, we recorded for about, I mean, every episode's technically supposed to be 50 minutes.
