[Angela Hicks]

I believe you. Is this, is this an X account?

[Shane Madej]

Like, no, no, no, no, no. This is on YouTube because I don't.

[Angela Hicks]

Go on Twitter anymore because it's.

[Courtney Miller]

They get a wasteland.

[Angela Hicks]

It's truly a wasteland.

[Shane Madej]

Well, you know, the feed is catered.

[Mark Fischbach]

To what you watch.

[Courtney Miller]

No, it's not thinking.

[Angela Hicks]

I don't think it is.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

D'Angelo Wallace did a whole, like, experiment showing how you can actively be screaming at it that you don't want it and it will still be giving it.

[Angela Hicks]

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.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah. When he first took over, it was like, if I saw a single inch of CCTV footage, I was like, that's a dad. That's gonna be a dead body that I'm about to see.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Yeah, I know. I don't like that stuff.

[Angela Hicks]

Well, the accounts is called, like, dead bodies every day.

[Shane Madej]

One that I get a lot is Thieves getting fucked.

[Courtney Miller]

I've seen Thieves getting.

[Angela Hicks]

No, they're all horrible. The titles of these accounts are horrible. And they're getting so many TV footage.

[Shane Madej]

Of them, like trying to hold someone up on a motorcycle and then a car will just like, swerve into them and send them both flying out of the frame.

[Angela Hicks]

But good mythical morning and smosh. Same caliber we are.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

A car crash of a channel.

[Shane Madej]

It's entertainment.

[Angela Hicks]

It's entertainment. It's entertainment for the whole family.

[Courtney Miller]

Welcome to Chuckle Sandwich.

[Angela Hicks]

I like how you just have a giant TV screen with Kiki's delivery service. Delivery service just.

[Courtney Miller]

Well, there could be other stuff on there. If there's something that you want to reference and you want to bring it up.

[Angela Hicks]

You'Re just gonna have horrible car accidents playing while we're having a casual.

[Shane Madej]

Conversation about the Idiots and 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 go to idiots and 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.

[Angela Hicks]

Someone has built their empire off of this.

[Mark Fischbach]

Oh, yeah, that's.

[Shane Madej]

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, this fucking. Yeah, yeah. It's all. It's all extremely fair use. They want. They want to make sure of that. Oh, 130 looks good. Tucker.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

I love road trips.

[Angela Hicks]

Yeah.

[Courtney Miller]

I've got a really good car game for you guys. And 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 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.

[Angela Hicks]

This could have worked well with my family. We used to have a. My grandpa had a boat and it was called the Topper. Anal.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah, this is my. When I went on. When I was moving out here to LA in 2020, my dad came with me on the. On the road trip. This was his favorite. He loved It. And he'll sometimes just text me. Like, he'll just like text me. Like, he'll be like anal road roamer. And that's like the only thing he'll text me.

[Shane Madej]

Oh my God.

[Courtney Miller]

I'll be like, I'll be like, nice one.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

I want to see a screenshot of. Just like.

[Courtney Miller]

Got a good one for you.

[Angela Hicks]

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.

[Courtney Miller]

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, he's going to retire in the spring. So he's getting to that age where it's like now he's cool again.

[Angela Hicks]

Yeah.

[Courtney Miller]

You know, and he doesn't, he doesn't need to worry about.

[Angela Hicks]

You think he'll be cool with retirement?

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah, I think he'll be cool with it because he, 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 for like high school and college.

[Angela Hicks]

That's cool.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah, yeah. And he recently had a change in that where he can't like run as well anymore because his knees like hurt. And 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.

[Shane Madej]

You can't just say your dad doesn't have a calf.

[Courtney Miller]

He doesn't. It's like atrophied. Like he, he had like a plate issue in his back where it made his like calf atrophy somehow. So if he steps on a Lego.

[Shane Madej]

He had an issue on his back that made his calf like the plate.

[Courtney Miller]

It was a nerve was pinched and it like somehow made his calf atrophy.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

What does atrophy mean?

[Courtney Miller]

Like, like the muscle like just kind of like withered away.

[Angela Hicks]

Oh, so is he just have like a.

[Courtney Miller]

So he's got like, he's got like a full on calf here and then it's just like less leg here.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

What if he got an implant?

[Angela Hicks]

Yeah, a calf implant.

[Courtney Miller]

I feel like that would be purely aesthetic.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Yeah, yeah.

[Shane Madej]

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.

[Angela Hicks]

Back, and then they're. Then they're pitching harder than ever before.

[Shane Madej]

Then they're throwing. Then they're throwing gas.

[Angela Hicks]

Then they're throwing.

[Mark Fischbach]

Now they're throwing.

[Courtney Miller]

Then they're throwing gas. Yeah. Yes, exactly. They're throwing ass.

[Angela Hicks]

That gives them an advantage because the ass muscle, I think, is way stronger than your elbow.

[Shane Madej]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So when I was 12 years old, I was like, just trying to throw it.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

That elbow.

[Shane Madej]

Throw it out, you know, just trying to fast track and break it.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

I actually have an elbow story, really? So 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. When I had.

[Courtney Miller]

Your mom stabbed you?

[D'Angelo Wallace]

No, no, no. It's just the side of it.

[Angela Hicks]

More of a. Like a slice, right?

[D'Angelo Wallace]

No, no, not like a slice. Like the flat side.

[Courtney Miller]

She used it as a bludgeoning object. No, it was like. But.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

And then I bled everywhere.

[Angela Hicks]

So she did slice you, actually, yes.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

There is a scar right there.

[Courtney Miller]

That right there.

[Angela Hicks]

That's insane.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

And she felt bad. And so I got to eat in front of the tv.

[Courtney Miller]

Oh, hell, yeah. Well, that's.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Good story for you guys.

[Courtney Miller]

No, that was.

[Angela Hicks]

I'm getting.

[Shane Madej]

Stop getting your blood over the dining table.

[Courtney Miller]

I definitely the same memory, though, of like, they were like, you gotta, like, rest them like that. Like, with the forearms. Yeah, the forearms there. Did you ever have that?

[Angela Hicks]

I had grandparents who were intense about the elbows on tables, but my family overall wasn't.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah. I feel like these days I'm. I'm loose and loving.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

I'm all up in there.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah. I'm like. I'm rubbing them around on the table. Big mom.

[Angela Hicks]

We're not British.

[Shane Madej]

No. My grandma straight from Ireland, fresh off the boat.

[Courtney Miller]

Wow.

[Shane Madej]

And so whenever I'm at her place, you got to be real careful.

[Angela Hicks]

Well, yeah.

[Shane Madej]

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 this.

[Angela Hicks]

That's tough. I only have one. I have one grandma left.

[Shane Madej]

What happened to the other two?

[Angela Hicks]

They. They died. My grandma and grandpa. She smoked a lot of cigarettes. That'll do it. She actually. She smoked a lot of cigarettes. In her 80s. She got lung cancer and then beat it.

[Courtney Miller]

Oh, wow.

[Angela Hicks]

And then got it again. Because as it as it does. But she still beat it once, which is kind of nice.

[Shane Madej]

That's impressive.

[Angela Hicks]

In your 80s and she was still smoking.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

She never stopped.

[Angela Hicks]

She was gonna stop smoking. And Honestly when you're 80, when you're 82, it's like not gonna quit smoking now like that doctor says you guys.

[Courtney Miller]

Quit smoking, I'll be fucking. Dude. Fuck yeah. When you, when you, once you get to 80, I feel like that's the point in the timeline where an 80 year old are up is gonna fall and it's gonna look like they got in a car crash. Like they got hit by a car, literally.

[Shane Madej]

[Courtney Miller]

This is a cons. His googling style is like crazy.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Those are good keywords.

[Shane Madej]

Look it up on Twitter. Jimmy Carter.

[Angela Hicks]

Yeah, go to Twitter so we can see some dead bodies.

[Courtney Miller]

He hides his googling from us now so we can't like, we can't audit him in real time.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

I like it. I like this. He's. He's smart man.

[Angela Hicks]

There's a lot of different styles.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

He's trimming the fat. He's using the keywords getting quick so that it's there.

[Courtney Miller]

So 26. He's. You want to know how old he is?

[Angela Hicks]

Yeah. I have a couple questions. So how old are you? But also 25. Was. What were you talking about before?

[Shane Madej]

Oh, the governor.

[Courtney Miller]

Well, you're never going to believe how old he is.

[Shane Madej]

I'm 25.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

That's fine.

[Angela Hicks]

That's fine.

[Courtney Miller]

Damn it.

[Shane Madej]

Is that all right?

[Angela Hicks]

Fine.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Say what you got to tell people. He's like 30.

[Courtney Miller]

Say what you had to say.

[Angela Hicks]

Fine.

[Shane Madej]

Look this up, Tucker. Andrew Cuomo, nursing homes.

[Courtney Miller]

I just heard this somewhere.

[Shane Madej]

So, Andrew Cuomo wrote a book about how well he, in the state of New York handled Covid, and then he.

[Angela Hicks]

He got fully fired for a bunch of controversy.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah.

[Shane Madej]

And then he made nursing homes be where they treated the extra Covid people. And he didn't let anyone leave. And then my grandma died.

[Angela Hicks]

That. That's a. Holy crap. Makes a lot of sense. Yeah. That's probably the worst place to put. That. Feels right. That almost feels purposeful.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Yeah. It feels intentional, like there was some strategy of some kind.

[Shane Madej]

And also, this guy renamed the Tappan Z Bridge to the Mario M. Cuomo Bridge, as his father deserved the title over Tappan Z, which is a cool name for a bridge.

[Angela Hicks]

Yeah.

[Courtney Miller]

I feel like they still call it the Tappan Z, though, everyone.

[Shane Madej]

The Tappan Z. Yeah.

[Mark Fischbach]

Yeah.

[Angela Hicks]

I feel like everything I hear about New York, people in New York hate most of the governors and mayor.

[Shane Madej]

Yeah. Because he killed half the state's grandparents.

[Angela Hicks]

There you go. But don't people hate the mayor, too?

[D'Angelo Wallace]

The mayor?

[Shane Madej]

Yeah.

[Courtney Miller]

They hate the police chief. Right, Too? Or is that the police chief?

[Angela Hicks]

That just feels like very stereotypical New York.

[Courtney Miller]

He became the mayor.

[Mark Fischbach]

He.

[Courtney Miller]

Oh, the police. She became the mayor. That's cool.

[Angela Hicks]

That's cool.

[Shane Madej]

That makes sense.

[Angela Hicks]

Yeah.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah, that's like. That's like the equivalent of like the top general becoming the president. And it just never seems like there's something good going on there.

[Shane Madej]

Giuliani really cleaned up those streets.

[Courtney Miller]

Okay.

[Angela Hicks]

Thank you, man. Well, I'm sorry about your grandma. That actually sounds.

[Shane Madej]

I'm sorry, too.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Did you get any, like. Did you.

[Angela Hicks]

Did you get vengeance?

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Did you waggle your face?

[Angela Hicks]

Are you trying to get vengeance?

[Shane Madej]

No, I'm trying to come to terms with her passing more than trying to get revenge on him.

[Angela Hicks]

That makes sense.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

I mean, yeah, I should take care of that first, probably.

[Shane Madej]

Scum. Fuck.

[Courtney Miller]

Why are you doing this to me, man?

[Mark Fischbach]

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Oh, I have something to tell you by the way, Ted.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah?

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Because of you, our studio staircase is now roped off.

[Angela Hicks]

Well, yeah, we have a big staircase ladder.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

You know.

[Courtney Miller]

What? Really?

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Yeah.

[Courtney Miller]

All the photos that I posted. Am I the reason for all the safety shit now?

[Angela Hicks]

No, it was a really great place. You know, we didn't have much rules there. And then.

[Courtney Miller]

Okay, I was allowed to be on that.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

I have a picture of it somewhere.

[Courtney Miller]

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.

[Angela Hicks]

Oh, okay. Did.

[Courtney Miller]

I was allowed to use that?

[Angela Hicks]

Do you have like a license for it?

[D'Angelo Wallace]

So like I'm licensed to use your toilet because I know how to use your toilet without asking you.

[Angela Hicks]

Did you tell. Did you tell anyone at spot, you gotta go.

[Courtney Miller]

If you gotta go, I'm not gonna like turn you away.

[Shane Madej]

Did you like do some dangerous thing while you were there?

[Angela Hicks]

He climbed like really high up on this.

[Courtney Miller]

I went to the top.

[Angela Hicks]

The problem is. The problem is.

[Courtney Miller]

Oh, there's a top that's meant to be plenty.

[Angela Hicks]

If you fell off, you could have probably sued.

[Courtney Miller]

But why would I do that?

[Angela Hicks]

Well, we don't know that.

[Courtney Miller]

What?

[Mark Fischbach]

You made the sandwich if you're up there.

[Angela Hicks]

Yeah.

[Shane Madej]

You did that to yourself. I wouldn't have sued you guys. If I did that, we would.

[Angela Hicks]

And we would have known.

[Courtney Miller]

So here's a question I have. What exactly is stopping people from moving the rope, though?

[Angela Hicks]

Well, nobody's stopping people from moving the rope, but now they.

[Courtney Miller]

Oh, well, I'm definitely going to use it when I'm back.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

I don't know if they'll let you near there.

[Angela Hicks]

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?

[Shane Madej]

Dude, when you got a big company like that, you just got to be super careful. They'll chew you out for any kind of safety thing because they can get sued.

[Courtney Miller]

So. Okay. I was just hyping the shit out of Smosh when you guys first got here. Wait, when did it turn into. Is this.

[Angela Hicks]

When did it turn into this bull?

[Courtney Miller]

When did it turn into, like, no fun? No water slides, no fun.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

I think it's funny.

[Courtney Miller]

It's funny.

[Angela Hicks]

We just have to go through the government. We have to file paperwork.

[Courtney Miller]

Oh, you're getting the government involved in Smosh.

[Shane Madej]

Yeah.

[Angela Hicks]

If you want to climb the staircase, you just need to get a permit to climb the staircase.

[Courtney Miller]

Oh, I got a permit, man.

[Angela Hicks]

You worked at Staples.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah, the verbal assurance that I worked at Staples is all.

[Angela Hicks]

The permit. I'm on the ladder. You should have just been like, hey, I worked at Staples. And then they probably wouldn't have been mad.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah, but I would be like, hey, I worked at Staples. Like, it's got a. Because then they know I'm right.

[Angela Hicks]

How long do you work at Staples?

[Courtney Miller]

Oh, forever.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Forever.

[Angela Hicks]

Did you work there for, like, three months?

[Ethan Nestor]

No.

[Courtney Miller]

How long did I work at Staples for, Doug? I actually don't remember. Like, nine months, maybe.

[Angela Hicks]

Nine months.

[Courtney Miller]

Three times more than your estimate. Wait, not nine months? They did at least a year there.

[Angela Hicks]

What were you in charge of?

[Courtney Miller]

Oh, the tech and making it easy.

[Shane Madej]

The staples.

[Courtney Miller]

I was an easy tech.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

You're an easy tech. That's so cute.

[Angela Hicks]

That's really cool, man.

[Shane Madej]

You had to, like, sell cards.

[Courtney Miller]

My older sister.

[Angela Hicks]

Yeah, look at him. Oh, he did such a good job.

[Courtney Miller]

How old are you?

[D'Angelo Wallace]

I'm 29.

[Courtney Miller]

29. Okay. So you're actually pretty. You're pretty close to the age of my. My older sister is, too. My older sister, she's.

[Shane Madej]

Oh, wait.

[Courtney Miller]

How the fuck older? She's 28.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Okay.

[Courtney Miller]

We're, like, 17 months apart.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Oh, nice.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah, yeah. No, I worked. It was good time, though. Good time working at Staples? Yeah. Well, no, Fred was terrible. Fred Fred, he was our manager. And this was a dude that was, like, coming in from. From New Hampshire. And whenever you would talk to him, he had, like, radioactive coffee breath. Like, where you could be maybe the distance from me and. Me and Tucker are from each other right now, that's a good five feet. And you would be getting hit and you'd be like. Oh, it's like making your eyes water. It was like that one spongebob episode.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Just coffee.

[Courtney Miller]

I mean. I mean. Yeah.

[Shane Madej]

Why does your breath smell like shit?

[Courtney Miller]

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, so.

[Angela Hicks]

Probably had tooth decay as well. Oh, how they make those.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

How they make tooth decay.

[Courtney Miller]

So the one time that I did work just the.

[Angela Hicks]

Duncan, there's so much sugar.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah. The one time I worked less than a month somewhere was the first original job. I don't even count, which is why I did. I did all the training for working at Dunkin Hounds, but they, like, got rid of me for some reason. Oh, yeah.

[Shane Madej]

Before you got on the payroll.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah. Well, they pay you. They pay you for training, but that's nice. But, yeah, you're right. You press a button for large, and it's literally like. Let's say this is.

[Angela Hicks]

It's like this much sugar. Like, this cup, like sugar.

[Courtney Miller]

It's like a pile. It's like as if you were watching, like, sand pour down into a fucking time watch.

[Angela Hicks]

It's crazy.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah.

[Angela Hicks]

No, it's.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Amanda worked at Dunkin Donuts.

[Angela Hicks]

Yeah, a lot.

[Courtney Miller]

Where's Amanda from?

[Angela Hicks]

Boston.

[Courtney Miller]

Whoa. We didn't.

[Shane Madej]

What, you guys are from Boston?

[Courtney Miller]

No, Amanda's from Boston.

[Angela Hicks]

Our cast member, Amanda, who I host the podcast.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

I'm from California.

[Angela Hicks]

I'm from kind of all over. I was born in Florida, Virginia, Arizona.

[Courtney Miller]

Lo.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

He's a military brat.

[Courtney Miller]

A military brat?

[Angela Hicks]

Yeah. My dad was in the Air Force.

[Courtney Miller]

Whoa.

[Shane Madej]

Did your dad ever.

[Angela Hicks]

No, I don't think so, actually. I don't think he ever saw.

[Courtney Miller]

But the missiles he shot.

[Angela Hicks]

Damn it.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Sorry. I'm so sorry.

[Angela Hicks]

Luckily, he avoided.

[Courtney Miller]

Sorry.

[Angela Hicks]

He luckily avoided the intense thing.

[Courtney Miller]

What did he fly?

[Angela Hicks]

F16s. That's cool. He's actually sick.

[Courtney Miller]

He's a slut for airplanes.

[Angela Hicks]

No, my. My dad was a. I think he was a really good pilot.

[Courtney Miller]

Really?

[Angela Hicks]

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 P's for him. Oh, yeah. Sick as Hell, that's cool. Yeah. And then his dad, my grandpa, flew jets as well.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

He was, like, among the first wave of the Air Force.

[Angela Hicks]

Yeah, yeah. Because the Air Force started, like, in, like, the. After World War II, so he joined in, like, the 50s.

[Courtney Miller]

Oh, dude.

[Angela Hicks]

Back when, like, I'm telling you right.

[Courtney Miller]

Now, Tucker's gonna want to ask you more questions about that.

[Angela Hicks]

I don't know too much.

[Courtney Miller]

Like, I. Tucker, ask, like, good clarifying questions here so we can get all the information we can out of it. You know what model airplane your grandfather flew?

[Angela Hicks]

I don't.

[Courtney Miller]

Was it.

[Angela Hicks]

I don't know. It was a jet. He flew jets.

[Courtney Miller]

So was it Korean War?

[Angela Hicks]

Vietnam.

[Courtney Miller]

Vietnam.

[Angela Hicks]

But I don't know what he flew.

[Courtney Miller]

Was it cool? Do you ever meet him?

[Angela Hicks]

Yeah, yeah, I know him. He's cool.

[Courtney Miller]

Is he still around?

[Angela Hicks]

He's still around. He's like 88, 89 now, dude. Yeah, he's a very chill dude. Very chill dude.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

He's very cool.

[Angela Hicks]

Yeah. No, he didn't tell me a lot about. He'll tell me some stories, but he's kind of one of those where he's like, not. 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, excerpts that involve 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.

[Courtney Miller]

That's.

[Angela Hicks]

And I asked him about it. I'm like. 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. I'm like, you did the most Michael Bay badass thing, and you're here just like. Yeah, I was kind of. Whatever.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah. Time on the job.

[Angela Hicks]

Yeah.

[Courtney Miller]

Damn.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

You ever flown anything? A plane?

[Angela Hicks]

You ever been in a plane before?

[Shane Madej]

Yeah, I flew here.

[Courtney Miller]

Cool.

[Mark Fischbach]

In first class.

[Angela Hicks]

That's actually sad. I've never done first class.

[Mark Fischbach]

No way.

[Angela Hicks]

I've never done first class. No.

[Shane Madej]

They do domestic flights. Got really good in the past, like, year.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah. If you. If you do it once, you'll get, like, kind of addicted to it and you'll keep setting excuses for yourself.

[Mark Fischbach]

Okay.

[Shane Madej]

So New York to LA used to have, like, first class. Used to be, like, business class. On an international flight, you're still sitting next to someone, and this might be a little Bigger because this people don't know this yet.

[Mark Fischbach]

They got lay flat seats in first.

[Shane Madej]

Class now on domestic and I've been enjoying them.

[Angela Hicks]

That's crazy.

[Shane Madej]

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, which means he had the little miss.

[Angela Hicks]

Sunshine thing happen to him, which means you can't fly.

[Courtney Miller]

Oh, he got planes. Sunshine.

[Shane Madej]

Yeah.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Got a little sunshine. Dang.

[Shane Madej]

And then he, he pivoted to being a firefighter and then 911 happened and he was a first responder. He worked on the pile. That's for months.

[Angela Hicks]

Insane.

[Shane Madej]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Angela Hicks]

Wow.

[Shane Madej]

Yeah, he's got his pension for that.

[Angela Hicks]

That's crazy.

[Shane Madej]

Double pension, they said. They said. Nice. Thanks for that.

[Angela Hicks]

That's impressive as hell. Wow.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Your family really be in New York?

[Shane Madej]

Yeah. Do you want to hear a text I got from my mother?

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Yeah.

[Angela Hicks]

Yeah. What's about to happen?

[D'Angelo Wallace]

So he's scrolling up, he's scrolling up.

[Angela Hicks]

When was this text?

[Shane Madej]

So I got this.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

2001.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah, that's the question I asked last time he brought up the. Because he did this yesterday.

[Shane Madej]

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.

[Angela Hicks]

That is.

[Courtney Miller]

And then what did you say to that?

[D'Angelo Wallace]

What did you reply?

[Shane Madej]

Oh, I didn't respond. The next.

[Angela Hicks]

Wow.

[Shane Madej]

Then she says, then she says. Hello.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Oh my God. So you're not much of a first responder, are you?

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah, dude, no, that's my big sister.

[Angela Hicks]

That, that is the most mom son interaction though. Like just the most heartfelt, intense hello with the.

[Shane Madej]

I mean, like it was awkward. What was I supposed. Supposed to say to that?

[Courtney Miller]

Love you, mom. Dude, you could just say something like.

[Angela Hicks]

You send back just a heart emoji.

[Courtney Miller]

Honestly, probably surprised.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

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.

[Angela Hicks]

Like that's a group chat.

[Courtney Miller]

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 and the full family group dad, that was definitely meant for the. For the, 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 be like, sorry, that was. So I get to watch it all happen. But yeah, no, they're all.

[Angela Hicks]

Are you very active in your family group chat? No, I'm not. I'm the least active out of my.

[Courtney Miller]

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.

[Angela Hicks]

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.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah.

[Angela Hicks]

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.

[Courtney Miller]

How often do you visit?

[Angela Hicks]

I visit them like a couple times a year easy, because they're all close by, so I can go see them all at once. That wasn't always the case.

[Courtney Miller]

Right.

[Angela Hicks]

There was a period of time where my brothers were, like, in different states. So, like Thanksgiving, you choose a relative.

[Courtney Miller]

How many brothers do you have?

[Angela Hicks]

I have two.

[Courtney Miller]

Whoa. See, I've never had a brother before. Tucker's probably the closest thing I've got to a brother.

[Angela Hicks]

That's awesome.

[Courtney Miller]

But I never had, like. I'm sorry to say this. Tucker. A real one. Sorry.

[Angela Hicks]

Tucker's smiling, but a tear just rolling down his face, like, that's awesome.

[Courtney Miller]

I mean, what was how. What's the age difference?

[Angela Hicks]

It's pretty massive. They're eight and 11 years older than me.

[Courtney Miller]

Whoa. So they must have been like gods.

[Angela Hicks]

They're. They are half brothers, but they're my. They're my brother.

[Courtney Miller]

They must have been like gods to.

[Angela Hicks]

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.

[Ethan Nestor]

Sure.

[Angela Hicks]

Because you're. I wasn't really feuding with them.

[Courtney Miller]

Right.

[Angela Hicks]

Having with them because whatever they said was like, law.

[Courtney Miller]

Oh, yeah.

[Angela Hicks]

And whatever they said was the coolest thing.

[Courtney Miller]

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. It was like, sam's home. And it was like. And he's got his. He's got his German shepherd and he's got a new girlfriend. And, like. And it was like, what's going on?

[Angela Hicks]

No. My brother would be playing, like, my. Some of my favorite memories is, like, my brother playing Final Fantasy 7 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 know.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

I feel like he treated you like his Padawan, though.

[Angela Hicks]

He definitely did, like, morph what I would be into.

[Courtney Miller]

Dude, that's sweet. Because it's not. Because they're not quite like adults, you know, they don't. They're not. They don't lose, like, the cool factor that being an adult is. It's like they're. It's like a. That's great. Yeah.

[Angela Hicks]

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 shirt. And I was like, wow, he's so cool. That's awesome.

Are you guys known in your extended family as anything more than just, like, a YouTuber? Because I'm not.

[Angela Hicks]

What are you?

[Shane Madej]

I'm the YouTuber, right?

[Angela Hicks]

Oh, you're the YouTuber. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think the YouTube stuff.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

You're the actor.

[Angela Hicks]

I was, yeah. I mean, 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.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

It's definitely become more, like, commonly known than it used to be.

[Angela Hicks]

Like, yeah, it's not too bad now.

[Courtney Miller]

How about you?

[D'Angelo Wallace]

I'm fully the YouTuber. Like, I guess I could teeter into, like, comedian, but, like, I was.

[Courtney Miller]

You say you're a comedian?

[D'Angelo Wallace]

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 in my family. Interesting. And now, like, I. It's like, I never was a problem kid ever.

[Courtney Miller]

But that is something they do. Kind of rewrite history of 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 can always see you had it in you. You had this.

[Shane Madej]

Courtney always had that creative spark.

[Courtney Miller]

It always had that spark that was going to take you far.

[Angela Hicks]

Your mom's mildly trump.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah. I always saw it in you, little Teddy.

[Angela Hicks]

Well, that's a really good one.

[Courtney Miller]

Thank you.

[Angela Hicks]

I do the. Yeah, the. The. I always knew we always said, little.

[Courtney Miller]

Teddy gonna go far. You got the face. Really? You got the settle. Okay.

[Angela Hicks]

Yeah.

[Courtney Miller]

You got that settled?

[Angela Hicks]

No, he comes up here when he's like. He's like, all right, what do I say next? Next? He's like, but other people are trying to say that Teddy doesn't know what he's talking about.

[Courtney Miller]

Those people, frankly, not so nice. Not so nice.

[Angela Hicks]

They're not so nice.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Rest in peace, you know, because this is coming out months from now.

[Courtney Miller]

I mean. Yeah.

[Angela Hicks]

Anyways, so you want more alcohol?

[Shane Madej]

You need to work on that one. What's going on?

[Angela Hicks]

I'm planning on drinking right now. I have more work to do.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

It's like whiskey, but if whiskey Was syrup.

[Angela Hicks]

Yeah.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah, that's a joke.

[Angela Hicks]

So is this like your drink of choice?

[Shane Madej]

Yeah.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

That's crazy. You don't even like, put some ice in there.

[Courtney Miller]

Like a large amount of episodes. He will be like, I'm gonna drink some Benedictine. And then he'll pull up the bottle and be sipping from the bottle.

[Shane Madej]

I like whiskey.

[Angela Hicks]

Just Benedictine.

[Shane Madej]

I like whiskey.

[Courtney Miller]

You're right. It's a spot for me.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

It sounds like, like, oh, don't forget to have a spoonful of oval tea.

[Shane Madej]

Hey, Dutch, I've got some Benedictines.

[Angela Hicks]

That's a very specific thing to drink.

[Shane Madej]

Oh, yeah.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

What's your ideal, like cocktail?

[Angela Hicks]

There is a cocktail that's whiskey and Benedictine. That's like famous, I think.

[Shane Madej]

I don't see this. You can't mix with anything. They make a version of this that's called bnb, which is Benedictine and.

[Mark Fischbach]

Some.

[Shane Madej]

Kind of cognac, I think. But it's not as good. 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.

[Angela Hicks]

Okay. Pretty good.

[Shane Madej]

I don't like fruity stuff. That makes me kind of sick.

[Courtney Miller]

What's your guys go to?

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Do you guys drink? Yeah, we love a nice little.

[Courtney Miller]

Oh, you guys are. I don't know.

[Angela Hicks]

No, man, I don't know. I don't know.

[Shane Madej]

Nine years sober.

[Courtney Miller]

I feel like more and more people are, at our age, in our generation are becoming. Going sober.

[Angela Hicks]

A lot of people don't drink yet.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Yeah, it's way more common now. They're having like non alcoholic bars and liquor stores that are like mocktails.

[Courtney Miller]

It's gonna take. I feel like it's gonna take so much longer. Where that doesn't seem like, like shockingly lame though, you know, I mean, it's getting, you know, like I respect someone who's like, okay, I'm gonna be not drinking. But like when it's the non alcohol, like the alcohol plain bar, at that point, it's like, it's like, it's like this is a one stop fun. Like this is. This is like a play place now.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

It's like the Italian sodas that the secret lives of Mormon wives drink.

[Angela Hicks]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

So like in Utah and like other middle schools, the soda, where it's like creamers and syrups going in.

[Shane Madej]

I'll admit I. I had some Dr. Pepper and no, no sugar creamer the other day because I saw it in a TikTok and then.

[Angela Hicks]

Was it Good.

[Shane Madej]

Yeah. This is manageable.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

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.

[Shane Madej]

Yeah, that's their drug.

[Angela Hicks]

And they weren't allowed to drink soda until recently. Right.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

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, you couldn't drink.

[Courtney Miller]

Oh.

[Angela Hicks]

So I'm pretty sure I thought it was Pepsi. So forced them or something.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Yeah. And now, now it's like you can't drink hot caffeine. So they still are like against coffee and stuff.

[Mark Fischbach]

What does that mean?

[Shane Madej]

Pepsi endorsed Mormon.

[Angela Hicks]

Probably just donated to the church or something.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Probably a ton of money to the church.

[Shane Madej]

Wow.

[Courtney Miller]

So what made you guys choose the Mormon church?

[Angela Hicks]

Well, you know. No, I'm just kidding.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

No, I was totally ready to go that way. Dirty martini.

[Courtney Miller]

Dirty Martin.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Vodka martini.

[Courtney Miller]

What type of vodka?

[D'Angelo Wallace]

I usually can go for like a kettle, but Tito is fine.

[Courtney Miller]

That's crazy.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Really.

[Courtney Miller]

So my dad's drink of choice whenever he orders is a kettle one martini, dry dirty, with three olives.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Dry dirty. What does that mean, dry dirty?

[Courtney Miller]

I don't know, but I ordered it.

[Angela Hicks]

Maybe that's similar to what you have because you get a splash of dry vermouth.

[Courtney Miller]

Well, it's like dry comma, dirty, so maybe.

[Angela Hicks]

Or both.

[Courtney Miller]

So it might be a dirty martini. It's basically vodka with just olive brine. Like there's no vermouth.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Yeah, that's a typical dirty. Right. I like it. I like it. Oh, I see what you're saying. I love a little splash of vermouth in there.

[Angela Hicks]

Yeah. Nice. I like a lot of things, but martinis in Manhattan's are pretty solid.

[Courtney Miller]

Nice.

[Angela Hicks]

I like old fashions.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Yeah.

[Courtney Miller]

I'll often go for a tequila soda.

[Angela Hicks]

Nice.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Okay.

[Angela Hicks]

Okay.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Simple man.

[Courtney Miller]

Okay.

[Shane Madej]

If we're on.

[Angela Hicks]

That's a party drink. That's a. That's a.

[Shane Madej]

That's a party drink or an airplane drink.

[Courtney Miller]

Well, the other option is that what I just was the drink my dad.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Would you do that?

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah.

[Angela Hicks]

Yeah.

[Courtney Miller]

Cuz it's easy. It's a little sipper.

[Angela Hicks]

Yeah.

[Courtney Miller]

Like you could. You can get one and be good for the. Like you don't have anything else, like.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Yeah, the olivey one. I can. 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.

[Courtney Miller]

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.

[Shane Madej]

Same happen to me with beer. Like, some switch flipped and I was like, oh, man, that's refreshing. I like that all of a sudden.

[Angela Hicks]

Nice. I feel like it happens.

[Courtney Miller]

Do you like olives?

[Angela Hicks]

Oh, I love olives, but I always.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Got me into them. You got me.

[Angela Hicks]

Yeah. No, I love olives. I think for me, you know what it was that switched is I wish.

[Courtney Miller]

We had some olives right now. We just be.

[Angela Hicks]

I'd be fucking nabbing them.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Yeah.

[Angela Hicks]

Blue cheese, I think I came around to in my twenties. Suddenly made sense. But it's tough. It still tastes like a tire. I think it tastes like a tire, but it's kind of good.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Yeah, it's like. Yeah.

[Courtney Miller]

I like the creamy dip the most. I feel like it's hard for me to get involved when I'm seeing the mold, the literal physical mold. I'm like, that's tough, you know?

[Angela Hicks]

Yeah.

[Courtney Miller]

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?

[Angela Hicks]

Yeah, probably.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

But that started in bread.

[Courtney Miller]

It started in bread in the show in weeks. Oh, I actually have not seen the show yet.

[Angela Hicks]

It's good.

[Courtney Miller]

I've heard good things about it.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

You'll watch it?

[Angela Hicks]

Yeah, let's watch it.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Let's put it on. Can you pull it?

[Courtney Miller]

Can you pull up the entirety of the Last of Us Show?

[Angela Hicks]

Yeah, Last of Us Show.

[Courtney Miller]

You guys need to be anywhere soon?

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Free download.

[Angela Hicks]

What?

[Courtney Miller]

No. Okay. Yeah, so we can watch it.

[Shane Madej]

No, this will get copyrighted.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

No, no, no.

[Mark Fischbach]

We'll get struck for this, but by.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

The video game or the movie, because they're shot for shot. Am I right, ladies?

[Courtney Miller]

Well, we're. This is. This is. 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.

[Shane Madej]

Nice, dude.

[Courtney Miller]

I have to. I have to commend you gu. 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, too. That was. That was great. Because I knew before everyone else. I just want everyone to know that.

[Angela Hicks]

A lot of people knew. I mean, plenty of people.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

It's so funny.

[Courtney Miller]

I wanted to sound like I'm an insider. And you just ruined that for me, actually.

[Angela Hicks]

Everyone.

[Shane Madej]

Yeah, I did know.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah.

[Angela Hicks]

But I mean, 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.

[Courtney Miller]

Oh, surely not. No, we could easily. I saw. I saw that. I saw that going and I was like, I. This needs to play out. This needs to play out the way that it does and how it. You mean in terms of, like, us knowing and then just me spilling the beans before the April Fool.

[Angela Hicks]

Nobody.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah.

[Angela Hicks]

Nobody said anything.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Nobody mentioned or slipped any.

[Angela Hicks]

No.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

About us being together in any way.

[Courtney Miller]

Oh, yeah.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

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. Oh, that was also in April. Right?

[Angela Hicks]

That was in.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

I forgot that we got married, I guess.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Oops.

[Angela Hicks]

I can't remember.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

I don't even remember.

[Angela Hicks]

That was May. It was May.

[Courtney Miller]

That was the one with Amanda was playing the old woman.

[Angela Hicks]

So was I. Yeah.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Yeah.

[Courtney Miller]

Oh, and you guys were switching out.

[Angela Hicks]

Yeah. You guys should.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Should be in the next one.

[Courtney Miller]

I would. I would love that.

[Shane Madej]

Do I have to come to Los Angeles for it?

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

We're not going to New York.

[Angela Hicks]

We could do a bit where we go to New York in the middle of it. It could be funny. That would be crazy.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

I love that.

[Courtney Miller]

I mean, I'm down.

[Angela Hicks]

Look, give me an excuse to go to the woods. That sounds cool.

[Shane Madej]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

I'm trying to remember when you. When we told you.

[Courtney Miller]

I remember. I remember it was just like, we were, like, in the middle of a conversation, you guys, and you're like, by the way, we're engaged.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Oh, yeah. When?

[Courtney Miller]

Like, it can't. And I was like. I was like, like, what? What?

[Angela Hicks]

Huh? I'm trying to remember.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

I went to, like, Jarvis's thing.

[Courtney Miller]

It was probably. I think it was at Jarvis's.

[Angela Hicks]

Oh, probably.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah. You're just like, very good. I was like, cool.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Yeah.

[Courtney Miller]

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?

[Angela Hicks]

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 days after we got married?

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Yeah. Yeah. Because the date was 329. And then I was just like, well, like, what if we just. Because we're fools, you know?

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah. No, I mean, it was legendary. I feel like a lot like, out of any sort of, like, 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, like, whatever, like shipping you guys or whatever, like, that they got confirmation, but, like, they still couldn't believe it. Like, it didn't allow them to, like. Like, it was awesome. I just, like, I. 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.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

That was a wild time where, like, people who didn't even know who Smosh was. What, like, they were invested in, like, wait, oh, did they?

[Angela Hicks]

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?

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah.

[Angela Hicks]

But to suddenly have the thing where, like, even on your own feed, you have people, like, talking about a thing.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah.

[Angela Hicks]

It's the first time it's ever happened.

[Shane Madej]

To me, and I was like, for something terrible.

[Angela Hicks]

I know also that I can't imagine.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah, just like a whole bunch of people happy for you guys.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

And then they. The fans, like, I found out they were, like, celebrating our six month, like, anniversary or something, and I was like.

[Angela Hicks]

Oh, there's like, happy six months. I'm like, all right.

[Courtney Miller]

How like. Like, in that first, like, week or couple, several week period after, like, when did it get, like, the people wondering about when did that get old?

[Angela Hicks]

I think I regretted it a little bit. Like, three or four days after when I realized people were not leaving us still. Yeah.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Because I'm so certain they would. Like, they're gonna believe it. Like, look at these pictures.

[Angela Hicks]

Like, and we can. We posted more stuff. The day after, on April 2, 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?

[D'Angelo Wallace]

They were, like, studying the root growth in my hair to see if the photos were shot at a different time or before or after the office was celebrating it. It was so strange.

[Angela Hicks]

It was so funny how some people 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.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah.

[Angela Hicks]

Because they've really pieced this all together, how it's all not real.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah. Which maybe surely at this point now, but everyone's just like, yeah, no, they're. Yeah, yeah.

[Angela Hicks]

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.

[Courtney Miller]

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 decide that for yourself whether or not it was worth it.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

But I mean, they wouldn't have believed this before. We wouldn't have. They wouldn't have believed us if it wasn't on April Fools.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Like, it still was like such a wacky thing. But yeah, it was a wild few weeks of just being perceived that I. Yeah. I also, I talked about this on our podcast where like, I didn't realize what I was saying goodbye to. Like how.

[Courtney Miller]

Sure, yeah.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Thing was like just hours and suddenly it was just like this egg that was now cracked open.

[Shane Madej]

Now it's all of ours.

[Angela Hicks]

I know now it belongs to everyone.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

All in our relationship.

[Courtney Miller]

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, to like publicly. If I, If I were to like, I'd just be like, hey, I'm married now. You know, I wonder if that's.

[Angela Hicks]

See it more just cause like, like not because of us, but because of like so many other content creators who've been in relationships. And like, it's a lot to like be in a relationship and have the stages and people are involved and judging it.

[Courtney Miller]

And for some people it is. There is like 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.

[Angela Hicks]

Interesting.

[Shane Madej]

Yeah.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

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.

[Shane Madej]

Please respect our privacy at this time.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

I don't even know any youtubers names that I could reference that being. But I feel like it's definitely the general vibe.

[Angela Hicks]

Some people benefit from some truly awful situations. I Mean, there's. But you're never going to know if it's going to benefit you until after the fact.

[Courtney Miller]

It's definitely a shot in the dark for sure.

[Angela Hicks]

Yeah. And that's not a great one to make.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah. But I would say, though, like, just in terms of, like, how I viewed, like, that April Fools thing, I would say for me, it's at the same level as Schlatt did a thing years ago where his first stream back in like two years. And you. You want to explain that one?

[Shane Madej]

I don't know what you're talking about.

[Courtney Miller]

Talking about the Minecraft stand.

[Shane Madej]

Oh, you can tell it.

[Angela Hicks]

He doesn't get him.

[Courtney Miller]

You're right there just. It was your win.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

What happened.

[Angela Hicks]

No, but I feel. Do you not like telling this?

[Shane Madej]

Oh, no, no. It's just I would compare to the.

[Courtney Miller]

Same, like, level of like.

[Shane Madej]

Of epicness.

[Courtney Miller]

Of epic. Like, this is like, such a funny thing to do.

[Shane Madej]

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.

[Courtney Miller]

It's like 200,000 almost people watching them.

[Shane Madej]

Yeah. And the first thing I did on stream was run a command that banned every Twitch chatter with a username.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

I remember a couple of days was.

[Shane Madej]

Like, Stan culture related.

[Courtney Miller]

It's like. It's like a hundred thousand plus names on there or something. Just like, remember.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

And you're like laughing as they just.

[Shane Madej]

Get deleted and deleted.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

I saw that clip and that, like, went through TikTok for you.

[Courtney Miller]

It was.

[Shane Madej]

It was timed up to like, some classical piece that I really loved. And it just played it right. When it started swelling, I hit the enter key and it just started coming.

[Courtney Miller]

You could see, like, the feet of it going. It's like the robot just like killing all of these accounts. How does it say Carl Jacobs, George? Not bad.

[Angela Hicks]

Ripped away.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah, yeah. It's like that. AI baby. That's vaporizing.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

I want to see this.

[Courtney Miller]

Oh, yeah. I do want to watch this clip.

[Angela Hicks]

Don't copyright strike this.

[Shane Madej]

No, I won't. Don't worry. People were like, what is this? To scrape every.

[Courtney Miller]

I was in the other room when this was happening.

[Shane Madej]

Twitch account that had.

[Courtney Miller]

I'm like in the office.

[Shane Madej]

Cut out of the Pope was taken in it. All of them in it. In it. Yeah. Tommy in it.

[Courtney Miller]

Single Blade loves Rambo. Davey loves Rambo.

[Shane Madej]

We've got a bot.

[Courtney Miller]

Devin loves Tommy in it.

[Shane Madej]

Through all of these commands, Live. 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.

[Angela Hicks]

Oh, there you go. You did.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Oh, let's go.

[Shane Madej]

That's just everyone getting ban.

[Courtney Miller]

It's such like a feelgood thing of just like. It's like you. But it's like he's nuking.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Yeah, it's like. It's like it's evil, but it's harmless. I love it.

[Shane Madej]

Single last one of you. I never want to see you ever. Because they all hated me because I was on the Minecraft servers of all these people and, like, every time I logged in, they were like, trying to.

[Courtney Miller]

Dox me and like, oh, they hated him.

[Shane Madej]

They hated me. So this was definitely a nice release.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

This is magical.

[Shane Madej]

Tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands.

[Angela Hicks]

How did you make this list? This.

[Shane Madej]

I know some programmers.

[Angela Hicks]

Okay.

[Shane Madej]

Also, I was a computer science student before I dropped out.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Amazing.

[Shane Madej]

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. Than this clip.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

And you're. He. They. Those band people were then able to watch you.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah, yeah, no, that was. That was. That was a great moment too.

[Angela Hicks]

That's awesome.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Incredible.

[Angela Hicks]

Did that make them hate you more?

[Shane Madej]

Oh, I was. I was trending pretty heavily that day on Twitter. You just give it. No. Give it no mind. And then eventually.

[Courtney Miller]

Wow.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

But I was curious because didn't you do a face reveal?

[Mark Fischbach]

Yeah.

[Angela Hicks]

Yeah.

[Shane Madej]

In 2019.

[Courtney Miller]

Whoa. Yeah.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

And so that's kind of. I think even closer to a face reveal is sort of a coming out of sorts.

[Angela Hicks]

What made you decide to do a face reveal coming out?

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Because like I say, guys, I do.

[Angela Hicks]

Have a face out of the closet.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

I. I mean. Yeah, because it's like, it's something that's really no one's business but is a huge part of us.

[Shane Madej]

Yeah.

[Angela Hicks]

I'm really jealous of faceless YouTubers.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Yeah.

[Angela Hicks]

Because, like, you kind of get your. You can just kind of switch to your regular life. Yeah.

[Courtney Miller]

And then you get to have a cool character that's like a fox wearing a tux.

[Angela Hicks]

And they're like, who. What?

[Courtney Miller]

Who doesn't want to be a fox wearing a tux? Don't draw that, you assholes.

[Angela Hicks]

That there's the most.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

That's an anime character.

[Angela Hicks]

That's already all.

[Courtney Miller]

It's too late. Fucking hell.

[Shane Madej]

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 Twitch Con. 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. Then all of a sudden, oh, there's his face, just totally unannounced. It wasn't like in the title or anything.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah. And you had your cute little slide ins.

[Shane Madej]

Yeah, yeah, my. My cute face, 50 pounds lighter, you know, Very, very attractive to Twitter. And I logged on.

[Courtney Miller]

Jimmy, pull that up.

[Shane Madej]

Yeah, I logged on to Twitter afterwards and it was going crazy. 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.

[Angela Hicks]

And I like the one right beneath it with you with a gun.

[Courtney Miller]

Several years later, the face revealing on the Lunch Club. We love that.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Avoid the fans or avoid the pictures.

[Shane Madej]

Because I didn't.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

People were being thirsty.

[Shane Madej]

Yeah, they were. They were.

[Angela Hicks]

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.

[Shane Madej]

I haven't seen myself without Ludwig.

[Angela Hicks]

Maybe I'm wrong. I think there's similarities. I mean, y'all.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Y'all got pointy noses, same default.

[Shane Madej]

But there's a Forza streamer that looks exactly like me.

[Angela Hicks]

Really?

[Shane Madej]

Yeah.

[Mark Fischbach]

Virtual.

[Shane Madej]

Virtual or whatever. Yeah, that kid looks like me.

[Courtney Miller]

I could see that.

[Angela Hicks]

I see that.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah.

[Angela Hicks]

Is he good?

[Shane Madej]

I don't know. The. The only stream, the only moment I've ever seen from his content is a donation. 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. Because in Forza, you race.

[Angela Hicks]

Race.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Oh, my God.

[Angela Hicks]

Wow.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah.

[Angela Hicks]

Okay. Hey. Oh, that's awesome.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Damn, that's funny.

[Shane Madej]

For a while his face would come up when you search for J. Schlatt.

[Angela Hicks]

That's super funny.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

So how do you feel about that time? Do you like.

[Shane Madej]

I'm really glad I did the face reveal and I'm really glad I got these because I think it helped me establish like 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 yourself right.

[Courtney Miller]

Now on this episode, once the camera.

[Shane Madej]

Comes out and the benedictine starts flowing Then I become a New Yorker.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

He's so back. Wow.

[Angela Hicks]

Oh, a little for the roaches.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Four went out for the roaches.

[Shane Madej]

I want to waste all of them.

[Courtney Miller]

The roaches would be like that. Have you seen that video? That child when they're playing the game and they spill the soda and the little girl's like, what the fuck?

[Ethan Nestor]

Do it.

[Courtney Miller]

Bring it up, bring it up, bring it up. She looks like she's being starved. Like she's dead 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 laughing up sugar.

[Angela Hicks]

Well, okay.

[Courtney Miller]

Google this, little girl. No, you can't. No, no, no, no. Go back. Go back to some other result. Like, little girl Tucker, look up little.

[Shane Madej]

Girl licking little girl.

[Courtney Miller]

Little girl grabbing soda.

[Angela Hicks]

Tucker's sweating. He's like, I can't sweat.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah, it's that one on the left. The top left one. That one right there.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Okay, watch this.

[Courtney Miller]

There it is. Look at her. She's, like, desperately trying to grab as much of it as possible.

[Angela Hicks]

That's awesome.

[Courtney Miller]

Every time. Every time she's grabbing Ace.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Oh, my.

[Angela Hicks]

That's crazy.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

That's insane.

[Courtney Miller]

Like, look at her, look at her.

[Angela Hicks]

That's awesome.

[Courtney Miller]

Long winded joke, that Benedictine on the ground. That's what the roaches are gonna do.

[Angela Hicks]

That's what Schlatt's gonna do after this is done.

[Shane Madej]

Well, this is almost run dry. We're gonna need another bottle for tomorrow.

[Angela Hicks]

Do you not have other bottles?

[Shane Madej]

No, it's the only one.

[Angela Hicks]

Whoa.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Have you ever had Chambord?

[Shane Madej]

No, I've had Chartreuse.

[Angela Hicks]

Nice.

[Shane Madej]

By monks.

[Angela Hicks]

Chambord is really delicious.

[Shane Madej]

What is that?

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Very liqueur.

[Courtney Miller]

What is it?

[Angela Hicks]

Yeah, there it is. You've seen it.

[Courtney Miller]

That looks good.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Oh, my God.

[Angela Hicks]

Delicious.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

We can need to have. We need to have something like this for our podcast. Come, come, come. Do.

[Courtney Miller]

Oh, you guys hiring?

[Angela Hicks]

He's like, I'm out of here.

[Courtney Miller]

You guys have like a hundred employees at Smosh. You can just throw someone on there.

[Angela Hicks]

Everyone's busy.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Everyone's busy.

[Angela Hicks]

No, they're not. We're uploading content like, every day, man.

[Courtney Miller]

How many times? Day?

[Angela Hicks]

I think, like, I think once a day we have something go up somewhere.

[Ethan Nestor]

Not enough.

[Angela Hicks]

It's all like an hour long.

[Courtney Miller]

Really?

[Shane Madej]

That's a lot of work, too.

[Angela Hicks]

It's a lot of you guys on Adderall.

[Courtney Miller]

I've always sort of.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

I probably should be.

[Angela Hicks]

I'd probably. I'd probably be a lot better.

[Courtney Miller]

You guys will never Become the SNL of YouTube. Unless it's a cocaine fueled.

[Angela Hicks]

That's true, you know. No. The amount of cocaine at snl, I'm sure is so insane.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Yeah, I never tried it. I hope to die. Never have tried it.

[Angela Hicks]

I think I would like it too much. So I'm scared of trying.

[Courtney Miller]

Really?

[Angela Hicks]

I think I would love it.

[Shane Madej]

You've definitely.

[Angela Hicks]

If I had ever, if I had.

[Courtney Miller]

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.

[Shane Madej]

Oh, whoa.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Well, ADHD medicine is basically meth.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah, it is, it is.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

It's just like, well, let's sprinkle some sugar on some sugar.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah, I've heard like cake.

[Shane Madej]

Heroin is fucking electric and don't do it. You're saying this, were you, you were.

[Courtney Miller]

Saying this last night? Actually, you said this last night. He said we were like hanging out watching funny videos. And then at some point he was like, I feel like I could try heroin and not get addicted to it. I think I could do it.

[Angela Hicks]

You know who's said that?

[Courtney Miller]

This is exactly what I said to him.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

You know what you should try though?

[Courtney Miller]

Told him 50% of people who are addicted to heroin were said. Exactly the thing you just said.

[Shane Madej]

Who the fuck, who the fuck wouldn't take heroin? Who's getting into it to like, I really want to be addicted to this?

[Angela Hicks]

Well, I think a lot of them get into it kind of by like pain medication. It like leads. Some are like funneled in from other.

[Courtney Miller]

Media, something like that.

[Angela Hicks]

I don't think, I don't think everyone goes straight to Heroin.

[Courtney Miller]

You and McGregor had to do it for his job, for his acting job.

[Angela Hicks]

But you're talking about truly the needle in front of you. It's like I get once I'm more powerful than this.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Yeah, like you should try therapy.

[Angela Hicks]

That's probably.

[Shane Madej]

Do they have heroin or no. God, they have words.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

They have feelings.

[Shane Madej]

Talk about your feelings.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah, but for us poets, words are our heroin.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Oh, don't do it.

[Angela Hicks]

I thinking of cocaine. I had this realization in like my 20s when I was just always like, I'd get sleepy at part parties and I kind of give up, you know, like it would hit like 1 or 2am and I'm like, I can't hang. And everybody else is like still going. And then I, at a certain point I was like, oh, it's cocaine.

[Courtney Miller]

They're on cocaine.

[Angela Hicks]

People are doing cocaine. And that's how they can party so much longer than I can.

[Shane Madej]

Yeah.

[Courtney Miller]

You thought something was wrong.

[Angela Hicks]

I really thought something was wrong with me. I was like, why am I just. Why can't I do it like so many people can?

[Courtney Miller]

Damn.

[Angela Hicks]

Like I have a few drinks and I'm tired because that's what happens. Unless you do cocaine.

[Shane Madej]

Yeah, you're making a pretty good case.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

No, unless you do cocaine, you won't.

[Courtney Miller]

Be able to have as much fun. What were you saying?

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Do not do drugs.

[Courtney Miller]

Don't do cigarettes.

[Angela Hicks]

Now those are cool.

[Courtney Miller]

Also known as.

[Angela Hicks]

And good. And I was listening to a press or funny sticks. I was listening to a court hearing from the 90s and apparently it's not addictive and it's good for you.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah. How did they, how did they pull that?

[Angela Hicks]

What?

[Courtney Miller]

That win. How'd they say that in court?

[Angela Hicks]

They did. They did actually say that. They testified that it was not addictive in like the 80s or 90s.

[Courtney Miller]

Like, did they believe genuinely that it wasn't addictive?

[Angela Hicks]

They knew it was addictive.

[Courtney Miller]

They knew.

[Angela Hicks]

They didn't give a.

[Courtney Miller]

But they testified in court.

[Shane Madej]

You can't lie there.

[Courtney Miller]

No, you can't.

[Angela Hicks]

They've been proven. You literally can't.

[Courtney Miller]

They put their hand on the Bible.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Did you guys watch the J. Jinx?

[Courtney Miller]

The Jinx?

[D'Angelo Wallace]

It's like the documentary about that murderer.

[Courtney Miller]

No.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Oh my God.

[Angela Hicks]

It's like a few years ago.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Sir, you must watch season one and season two that just came out. Both jaw dropping shows.

[Courtney Miller]

The Shanks, the life and death of Robert Durst.

[Angela Hicks]

You've never heard of Robert Durst?

[Shane Madej]

I'm a serial killer.

[Angela Hicks]

Oh, dude, this, this documentary is awesome.

[Courtney Miller]

Wait, so it looks awesome based on that, that cover, it looks like they interviewed him.

[Angela Hicks]

Oh, yeah.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Yes.

[Angela Hicks]

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. Cuz he's such a cocky that he was like, yeah, sure.

[Courtney Miller]

One where he got like arrested on the set.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

He was mice.

[Angela Hicks]

He admits it. Yeah, it's awesome. It's. It's unfortunate.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

And then season two is equally insane.

[Angela Hicks]

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.

[Courtney Miller]

Wow.

[Angela Hicks]

But it's also deeply sad that he kind of got away with it for so long.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Yeah.

[Shane Madej]

So even a stupid person could get.

[Angela Hicks]

Away with it if you're a billionaire.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

And if you put long enough.

[Shane Madej]

Wait, what does he.

[Courtney Miller]

What did he do?

[Angela Hicks]

He was part of, like, a rich family.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Oh, he. And when he went to get away, he pretended to be an old woman living in an apartment for like, what, like a year?

[Angela Hicks]

I forget. Yeah, like, he did some wacko shit.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

He was insane. And he. The things that he says. If you put a microphone on him or in front of him with the courtroom, he just. Inevitably, the more he talks just goes.

[Angela Hicks]

It's awesome.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

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

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah, it's got 90% of rotten tomatoes.

[Angela Hicks]

Yeah.

[Courtney Miller]

Dude, that sounds pretty fresh.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Growing up, did you guys have a Christmas tree or a nativity scene in your living room?

[Shane Madej]

Both.

[Courtney Miller]

Both.

[Mark Fischbach]

Both.

[Shane Madej]

Nativity scene was above the mantle talking.

[Courtney Miller]

To a couple of Catholics, Irish over here.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

My mom, instead of a Christmas tree, had a. She built a manger and had a big baby doll that when I was.

[Shane Madej]

Born, built a manger.

[Courtney Miller]

Like a full one. Like, we're talking just like a.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Like, like a little. Little crisscross, like, okay, guy. But I was born that time, and so my family would take that baby doll and pretend they were dropping me in front of her.

[Angela Hicks]

That's awesome.

[Shane Madej]

Okay.

[Courtney Miller]

Rock on. I thought that you were going to say that your family put you in the manger.

[Angela Hicks]

I thought that was a picture of.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Me in the manger.

[Angela Hicks]

Jesus Christ.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

There is a picture of bald ass me in the manger. There is. And I remember it's itchy. It was itchy.

[Courtney Miller]

Damn.

[Shane Madej]

Did you.

[Courtney Miller]

So how did you get over your baldness?

[D'Angelo Wallace]

I don't know. I think I might remember. No, I'm. I'm. I'm not bald.

[Shane Madej]

Was your first memory just being itchy in the.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

The manger? Put that on your.

[Shane Madej]

My first memory was a poopy corner.

[Angela Hicks]

Poopy corner? Yeah.

[Shane Madej]

Poopy corner.

[Courtney Miller]

I think I remember this. Wait. Yeah, keep going.

[Shane Madej]

Yeah.

[Courtney Miller]

I was just getting inside.

[Shane Madej]

I was a little toddler wearing diapers. My first memory where I, like where I was like, was me kneading the shit and then crawling over to the poopy corner, which was just the corner of the living room in between the wall. And your first story is before you could walk.

[Angela Hicks]

Walk.

[Shane Madej]

That's the only one I got from back Then holy shit. I don't have anything. Just in the corner.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Facing the corner or facing.

[Angela Hicks]

I was facing the wall. I was facing the wall.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

I thought you don't get a roll.

[Angela Hicks]

That's a fence, dude.

[Shane Madej]

My next memory is a running 17:17.

[Courtney Miller]

I'm back in the poopy corner.

[Angela Hicks]

Back in the poopy corner. I'm staring at the wall.

[Courtney Miller]

Lot's changed since then though. There's a lot more lore.

[Shane Madej]

No, my second memory is a run in with a cosmic brownie. Oh yeah. As a little bit reacted viscerally to it. And I just remember that as well.

[Angela Hicks]

When you're under. When you're under 6 years old and you have a cosmic brownie, that has to be similar to the feeling of doing heroin the first time.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah.

[Angela Hicks]

Because it's. It's nuts when you're a little kid and you have one of those.

[Courtney Miller]

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.

[Angela Hicks]

I can't enjoy them anymore.

[Courtney Miller]

At a certain point, 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 sprig, it's dude doing.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

By the way over there.

[Angela Hicks]

Is he dead?

[Courtney Miller]

I mean, he's in his tomb. He's in his tomb. I. He started crawling away and I. And I placed a water bottle over him and I said, that's your tomb.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

I'm out, buddy.

[Angela Hicks]

Okay.

[Courtney Miller]

So but I. Maybe I'll put a gold coin under there. So he goes to heaven or something.

[Angela Hicks]

Okay.

[Courtney Miller]

Across the river stairs.

[Angela Hicks]

Something for Chiron.

[Courtney Miller]

I mean. Yeah, maybe not a gold coin. Maybe like a penny.

[Angela Hicks]

Yeah. That's enough. That's all that they need for passage.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

What's your earliest memory?

[Angela Hicks]

My earliest memory? I don't know. It's hard to 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 bucket pumpkin.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Yeah, you were dressed as a pumpkin.

[Angela Hicks]

I think I was a pumpkin because that's like memory. This is the 90s and I was. I was a little kid.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

So that's awesome.

[Courtney Miller]

What year were you born?

[Angela Hicks]

91.

[Courtney Miller]

Whoa.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Such a cool year.

[Angela Hicks]

The old.

[Courtney Miller]

The old time I got. So you like. Did you game at all? Were you guys gamers?

[Angela Hicks]

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, dude. I remember when we got the N64.

[Courtney Miller]

Okay.

[Angela Hicks]

And that was a big deal.

[Courtney Miller]

That's the one thing that I think connects me. The. You guys of the older generation, the.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Millennials of the older.

[Courtney Miller]

Well, I'm gen. We're Gen Z, you guys. Right on.

[Angela Hicks]

Like, you're, like, you're technically.

[Courtney Miller]

Technically a millennial.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

I'm 95.

[Angela Hicks]

Young millennial.

[Courtney Miller]

Millennial.

[Shane Madej]

That's a millennial.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Yeah. And I was also, like, all my siblings were obviously older than me, so, like, I was very much surrounded by that culture. But I know the memes. I love the memes.

[Courtney Miller]

No, you're with it. You're hip.

[Angela Hicks]

Millennials are weird, though, because, like, some millennials are in their, like, 40s.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah.

[Angela Hicks]

It's a huge.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Or isn't that dipping into Gen X, though?

[Angela Hicks]

Yeah, Gen X is after is.

[Shane Madej]

It's tickling it a little bit.

[Angela Hicks]

But elder millennials are in their 40s.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Get that little chart.

[Courtney Miller]

Oh, yeah, you're right on the cusp right there. 95.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

But saying Zillow. See the cusp?

[Courtney Miller]

Like, some people are saying, like, it's 96. I'm saying 97.

[Angela Hicks]

Yeah. But the difference between. What is it? When. What's that start date? I don't have my glasses. Is it 1981 to 1995? 80 to 99. That's 15 years.

[Shane Madej]

Yeah, yeah.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

And same with 96 to 93.

[Shane Madej]

I refute the idea that someone born in 2010 has anything in common with me.

[Angela Hicks]

Yeah, I mean, we definitely different Beast.

[Courtney Miller]

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.

[Angela Hicks]

Okay.

[Courtney Miller]

So that's. I was playing.

[Angela Hicks]

So you were.

[Courtney Miller]

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.

[Angela Hicks]

You know what I think it is? How old were you when you got a cell phone?

[Courtney Miller]

I was 13.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

I was.

[Angela Hicks]

Damn.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

I was 11 or maybe 12.

[Courtney Miller]

Middle school.

[Shane Madej]

I had a Motorola Razor.

[Courtney Miller]

It was.

[Angela Hicks]

Okay.

[Courtney Miller]

Well, a cell phone. Silver. I don't think I was 13. I was definitely. I might have been 10.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

That's a job.

[Angela Hicks]

But I think. I think that's the thing is, like, I think that's why I needed it. A certain young Gen Z are so different is because they grew up where anyone who's born after the era where like, you kind of had the Internet in your face.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah.

[Angela Hicks]

From A very early age age.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

You're just.

[Angela Hicks]

I just think it changed people.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah. I remember when I found out about YouTube, you know, it was like a thing like I know about this website.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

The first thing I remember was in sixth grade walking through like this one like quad area and some girl going like shoes. And we got shoes. And I was like, what? And she's like, you have to go look up this video.

[Shane Madej]

And then I got some shoes.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Getting on YouTube and like searching random videos. And the panda sneak. Do you remember the baby pandas?

[Courtney Miller]

That's a classic.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

I watched that 30 times.

[Angela Hicks]

But like I feel like young Gen Z just are that. That's where it's like that's totally new types of people now.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah, yeah.

[Angela Hicks]

Not saying good or bad, just. Just completely different.

[Courtney Miller]

Gen Alpha.

[Angela Hicks]

Gen Alpha. I've heard, I've heard legend of Gen Alpha.

[Courtney Miller]

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 Skibidi toy.

[Angela Hicks]

Yeah.

[Courtney Miller]

But for me growing up on YouTube, I saw like Skippy Toilet is just a G mod video.

[Angela Hicks]

Skippity Toilet doesn't seem that bad to me.

[Shane Madej]

Skippity Toilet was the clone trooper.

[Angela Hicks]

Shrek is life, Shrek is love, you know, like. Yeah. I feel like Skibidi toilet is mild.

[Courtney Miller]

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 other and like skibby toys also made in GMod. Like it's, it's. Yeah.

[Angela Hicks]

But were those as widespread and popular as Skibidi Toilet is now? It's the mainstream. You're right.

[Courtney Miller]

That used to be a weeds. Those were like gamer memes. Yeah.

[Angela Hicks]

You were in the underground.

[Courtney Miller]

You're right. It was a little unexcit. Yeah. I don't maybe. Yeah, there is.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

So I guess we weren't as cool as you.

[Angela Hicks]

I guess. I will say this. I've watched, I've watched some Skibidi toilet toy makes. I understand how a 12 year old would think it's the craziest, funniest. It's it to watch the first episode. You're like this shitstorm of a like dumb joke.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah.

[Angela Hicks]

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.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

I, I like that's like. I think Skibidi toilet is like what strong bad was to me when like every week there was a new one.

[Courtney Miller]

Strong. Bad.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Homestar Runner.

[Courtney Miller]

Oh. Oh. See, I was never really.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

I never watched, but like, again, I had so many older siblings, so of the stuff I was watching and taking in was.

[Courtney Miller]

Had some advanced taste is when I was growing up a hipster, I guess you could say. Yeah, No, I, I, I remember a lot of people talking about Homestar Runner, but I never, I was like, I watched some newground stuff, but not as much Homestar.

[Angela Hicks]

Yeah.

[Courtney Miller]

Star Runner. But you. It seems like you recognize.

[Shane Madej]

I recognize the name. There's something from there that I, That I remember.

[Courtney Miller]

Do they have like those, Is there cartoons on that too?

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Yeah, they were like baseball head people.

[Courtney Miller]

Right, right.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

There was Marzipan, who. She looked like a broom. And I can do all the voices and I really remember from home.

[Shane Madej]

Star Runner.

[Angela Hicks]

There's something I never conceived.

[Shane Madej]

Memory.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

I know all the voices and they were just climbing out of my chest.

[Courtney Miller]

Can you give us some of the. Yeah, let's go.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

I mustn't.

[Courtney Miller]

You said they're climbing out of your chest right now. I mean, that seems like it might cause some pressure that might, it might need to come out of your esophagus for your sake.

[Shane Madej]

Oh, everybody. The limit.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Is it the people who did it?

[Angela Hicks]

Yeah.

[Shane Madej]

This song.

[Courtney Miller]

Hold on.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

I'll take it to the limit.

[Shane Madej]

Yeah.

[Courtney Miller]

Okay.

[Angela Hicks]

I do know that.

[Shane Madej]

Come on. Yeah. Huh.

[Angela Hicks]

Huh?

[Shane Madej]

Yeah. This. I know. This doesn't have it. This doesn't have nearly as many views as I thought it would.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

I know. That's how, like, forgotten it is.

[Angela Hicks]

Was it re uploaded? No. 15 years ago.

[Shane Madej]

V God.

[Courtney Miller]

Say.

[Shane Madej]

Come on, V Gods. Everybody delivered.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah, that's pretty good.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

He's got it.

[Angela Hicks]

Well, do they have. They had their own website, right?

[Shane Madej]

Yeah.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Homestar Running calm.

[Angela Hicks]

So maybe that's where.

[Ethan Nestor]

Yeah.

[Courtney Miller]

We don't nobody, like, goes. You don't find out about websites anymore, about weird stuff. There's no browsing anymore. It is like the Internet has been locked down by the main social media websites.

[Angela Hicks]

You don't. Like, you used to be able to go and sit down and I'm like, I'm gonna go to the Internet right now.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah.

[Angela Hicks]

And I'm gonna.

[Shane Madej]

Yeah.

[Angela Hicks]

Unplug and leave the Internet.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah.

[Angela Hicks]

Now you're just kind of always on the Internet.

[Courtney Miller]

It's almost like, 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 too, where they're like, Netflix has games now.

[Angela Hicks]

I know.

[Courtney Miller]

Have you noticed that?

[D'Angelo Wallace]

No.

[Angela Hicks]

Like, you want to play Grand Theft Auto, San Andreas.

[Shane Madej]

And I'm like, YouTube has games.

[Angela Hicks]

That's everything has games. It used to be games on your discord has games.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

That feels a little more.

[Angela Hicks]

People's fridges probably have games.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

That's. Oh, remember when I. Oh, wait, you weren't there. I once got the. 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.

[Courtney Miller]

Really?

[Angela Hicks]

Yeah, yeah.

[Courtney Miller]

Over and over. Like, looping.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Yeah.

[Courtney Miller]

Oh, that's awesome.

[Angela Hicks]

It's a video where a girl convinces her mom that Jesus was spotted in Ohio.

[Courtney Miller]

Oh, yeah.

[Angela Hicks]

And her mom believes her for a bit.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah. She's like. She's like, send me the video.

[Angela Hicks]

She's like. She's like, where? Where, Rachel? She's like, on Facebook, there's footage of him in Ohio. She's like, send it to me, Rachel.

[Courtney Miller]

Oh, you gotta bring that up. That's so good. Yeah.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Yeah.

[Angela Hicks]

Jesus was seen where, Rachel.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Oh, my God.

[H]

Show me to me.

[Courtney Miller]

Please send it to me, Rachel. She's losing her mind.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Seen in Ohio.

[Courtney Miller]

Please send it to me.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Oh, now, Please. Oh, my God. This is crazy. Which one?

[Angela Hicks]

Send it to me, baby. Which one is it on TikTok?

[Shane Madej]

I think I'd have this reaction if Jesus came back, too.

[Angela Hicks]

I think this. I've thought about this a lot. Because you are witnessing someone who truly believes. Believes that Christ is back.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah.

[Angela Hicks]

And is in Ohio. I'm like. I'm like, that's a crazy thing to witness someone who. That's their world, right?

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah. No, she literally just thought that he. He came down.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

That's going to be me when aliens are finally here.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

I'm going to be, like, crying.

[Angela Hicks]

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.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah, they're like.

[Angela Hicks]

Because they kind of just. They don't give a shit about it.

[Courtney Miller]

I don't even know what they believe anymore. I don't think it was more concrete.

[Angela Hicks]

They know what they care about anymore. Conspiracy theories used to be like, yeah.

[Courtney Miller]

They used to be there's a trapdoor.

[Mark Fischbach]

On the sphinx's head.

[Angela Hicks]

Yeah. It was stuff like that. And now it's.

[Courtney Miller]

Now it's 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.

[Angela Hicks]

Yeah. It always comes down to racism, though.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Yes.

[Courtney Miller]

Killing whole groups of people to fix this problem. And then before, it was just like, the aliens are making art in our corn.

[Shane Madej]

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. Yeah.

[Angela Hicks]

And show it to your mom and she'll believe it.

[Shane Madej]

Yeah.

[Angela Hicks]

What a crazy world, AI for. For boomers. Just. They're believing all of it.

[Courtney Miller]

My mom was sending me that. 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, what's that?

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Oh, God.

[Courtney Miller]

What are you talking about? It's like the most egregious. Like. Like 14. Like these. If somebody made it in real life, it would be like a $14 million couch.

[Angela Hicks]

You realize them thinking all of that. Those AI generated images are real means our parents are in the Matrix. Which one? Matrix right now.

[Courtney Miller]

The green one. The big. The black one.

[Angela Hicks]

That's fucking insane.

[Courtney Miller]

She sent that to me. And also.

[Ethan Nestor]

That's on Amazon.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

No, that's on Amazon. That's an AI photo. Let's check the reviews.

[Courtney Miller]

There's no way.

[Angela Hicks]

What?

[Ethan Nestor]

That's not real.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

That's not real.

[Shane Madej]

What do the reviews say?

[Courtney Miller]

This is real. $10,000 couch.

[Angela Hicks]

This is. It's a generative couch.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Do not buy this. Scare the little kids. When I put it together.

[Angela Hicks]

Best snapper. Is this fully illegal to do?

[D'Angelo Wallace]

This has to be surely.

[Courtney Miller]

I mean, evil Solo love to get.

[Shane Madej]

The family together to squeeze onto the ground couch.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Oh, my God. I've never seen a fake Amazon list.

[Courtney Miller]

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 look sound and look like in a gorilla?

[Angela Hicks]

Oh, bad.

[Courtney Miller]

Probably that video. The one breaking the glass at the. At the zoo.

[Angela Hicks]

I love that video.

[Courtney Miller]

Seen that one? Yeah.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

That's crazy.

[Angela Hicks]

It's awesome.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah. So, no, she sent that to me and she was like, no, this is real. This is real.

[Angela Hicks]

She's like, it's. It's real. I'm buying it for you.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

I mean, fake listing.

[Angela Hicks]

But what happens if you buy this?

[Courtney Miller]

You get Nothing.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

If someone said, do not buy this, and like, what?

[Angela Hicks]

What? They can't.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Maybe just keeps getting delayed.

[Ethan Nestor]

It's probably a picture.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

$10,000.

[Angela Hicks]

$10,000.

[Mark Fischbach]

That one looks really.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

That looks really cool.

[Courtney Miller]

Because it's a bad one.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Looks a lot.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah, it's like this. It's like the airbrush smoothness of it. You could tell in a year.

[Shane Madej]

In a year that'll be completely done.

[Angela Hicks]

You know, it's generated when all of them are completely different.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Well, next episode of this podcast will be on the gorilla couch.

[Shane Madej]

Yes, that would be.

[Angela Hicks]

Couch.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

I bet it's not hard to make. I bet you. I bet it's real.

[Shane Madej]

Smosh and GMM both have, like, set designers, right? Like, maybe you could.

[Angela Hicks]

We could. We could request the gorilla couch.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

We.

[Courtney Miller]

How many people work at Smosh? Sorry, I totally just cut you off.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

That was fucking crazy, Ted.

[Courtney Miller]

I'm sorry. What were you going to say?

[D'Angelo Wallace]

I was going to 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.

[Angela Hicks]

Yeah.

[Courtney Miller]

Something to work on the side.

[Shane Madej]

And you could sell it for 10 grand.

[Angela Hicks]

Yeah. Probably cost, like 5 grand to make, but yeah. Because you have to get a gorilla.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

You're asking how many people work at Smosh?

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah, how many people work at Smosh?

[D'Angelo Wallace]

I think it fluctuates a little bit because there's like, freelance and stuff. But there's like 40. Ish.

[Angela Hicks]

Yeah, I think so.

[Courtney Miller]

Wow.

[Angela Hicks]

Yeah, a lot of people, dude. A lot of people.

[Shane Madej]

Three is enough for me.

[Angela Hicks]

Well, look at that. Pulled it up.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Wow.

[Courtney Miller]

Wow.

[Shane Madej]

This is CEO.

[Courtney Miller]

Dude. You go to the office there, it's like, they've got scooters. They have.

[Angela Hicks]

We have scooters.

[Courtney Miller]

You have one scooter.

[Angela Hicks]

We have a scooter.

[Courtney Miller]

You have one scooter. And I used 20 the same day.

[Angela Hicks]

That's the same day I climbed to.

[Shane Madej]

The top of the cool staircase.

[Angela Hicks]

You guys.

[Courtney Miller]

Probably why she looks at me as, like, a little bro, because I was, like, in the office, like, using the scooter I was climbing. I'm swinging around. No, I'm like. I'm like, I'm hungry. Hungry.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

No, I remember you. We had you waiting for a long time. Because. Because on this day, I also was.

[Courtney Miller]

Late one day too, that I think this was the same day I slept in.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Well, yeah, so you.

[Angela Hicks]

You actually scheduled for like a 7:30am it's never. It's 8am Is the earliest.

[Courtney Miller]

Okay.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

And then. And then. But then you came.

[Courtney Miller]

I did say yes to that. Time, though.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

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 gotta entertain this guy.

[Courtney Miller]

Did you actually have that thought that passed?

[D'Angelo Wallace]

I was like, oh, no. I was like, oh, no, we're losing him.

[Angela Hicks]

Did you get some keys?

[Courtney Miller]

I wasn't ever gonna leave. I was never gonna leave. Because I believe you. Because I have. Cause I was late. So I was like, I need to provide them something here.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

That's all.

[Courtney Miller]

I was gonna stay, and I don't.

[Angela Hicks]

So you provided mischief.

[Courtney Miller]

Well, but isn't that, like. Like, sort of fulfilling and. Yes. Isn't that, like a gift at the end?

[Angela Hicks]

You gave our PAs something to do.

[Ethan Nestor]

I became the office elf.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

I also don't know what we would expect from a YouTuber. A guest. How is a YouTuber supposed to act?

[Courtney Miller]

That episode that we end up. It would end up being for smosh games. That ended up being. I was crying, laughing. That was so fun.

[Angela Hicks]

No, it's very fun.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah. Bug boy.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Bug boy.

[Shane Madej]

Bug boy.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

What was it?

[Angela Hicks]

There's Rose.

[Courtney Miller]

Bug boy.

[Shane Madej]

Is that what you play on smosh games?

[Courtney Miller]

We play jackbox.

[Shane Madej]

Oh, really?

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah. But we were all on, like, one couch. Yeah, no, but it was blast.

[Shane Madej]

Can I come and we play kitten Cannon.

[Angela Hicks]

Yes. Oh, I've never heard of kitten here. We should play around, Tucker.

[Shane Madej]

Yeah, get on Kitten Cannon.

[Angela Hicks]

This is what I played so much of when I was. This was one of the first. It was the GI Joe videos. And this is this, like, at all.

[Courtney Miller]

Similar to the codename Kids Next Door. Flight of the Hamsters. Game on. On cartoon network.com.

[Angela Hicks]

I played this game so much.

[Shane Madej]

Just hit space.

[Angela Hicks]

You just. You just hit space. You just. And you're just hoping to, like, hit bombs and stuff.

[Courtney Miller]

It's.

[Angela Hicks]

It's purely, like, Nice.

[Shane Madej]

Yeah.

[Angela Hicks]

It's all.

[Courtney Miller]

Oh, my God.

[Angela Hicks]

557.

[Courtney Miller]

We'll give it another go.

[Angela Hicks]

You can get up to 10,000, so.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

You need to get the angle right.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah, that was a weak point.

[Angela Hicks]

All right, you want to get those goes.

[Courtney Miller]

Oh, not too good, Tucker.

[Angela Hicks]

Not great.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

You gotta aim higher, bro.

[Angela Hicks]

Aim it. Aim it a little up. There you go. And then wait. Get that full power.

[Courtney Miller]

Okay.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Oh, you gotta press and hold.

[Angela Hicks]

There you go. Oh, not good.

[Courtney Miller]

You're getting worse every time, Tucker.

[Angela Hicks]

Yeah.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Press and hold. Press and hold. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. You see how the bar goes up and down?

[Angela Hicks]

Okay.

[Courtney Miller]

Okay. Now this is Looking good.

[Angela Hicks]

Okay. All right.

[Courtney Miller]

Oh, this is. That's his high score.

[Angela Hicks]

Not a bad high score. You could get over a thousand. I would lower the cannon a little bit. I would lower the cannon a little bit more. Oh, oh. If you lowered a little bit more, you get a little more velocity. That's pretty good. Yeah, Just an unlucky round there. It's mostly.

[Courtney Miller]

You're getting worse every time.

[Angela Hicks]

Under 100ft.

[Shane Madej]

Yeah. They're having a jambo last night.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Schlatt.

[Courtney Miller]

I'm surprised you played this.

[Shane Madej]

I loved this back in the day. It was this in Zwok. Do you remember Zwack? Lost Media at this point, but it was like, it was like worms, but Snowball fight.

[Angela Hicks]

Okay.

[Shane Madej]

Yeah.

[Angela Hicks]

Pretty good. This was. This is. Man. Yeah, this brings back.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Come on. Come over. Come, please.

[Shane Madej]

Can we just play this?

[Angela Hicks]

We could totally play Kit and cannon for an hour and then.

[Shane Madej]

Yeah, and then just, Just get like, super into it.

[Courtney Miller]

It would do very well as an episode.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Just like the vein.

[Angela Hicks]

And we shouldn't even talk. We're just there just watching it.

[Shane Madej]

I'm down.

[Angela Hicks]

I'm down.

[Shane Madej]

That's actually. We have to just talk about getting cat.

[Angela Hicks]

We can't talk about other topics.

[Courtney Miller]

Oh, no, yeah. Wait, here's a. I just remember something. It's total non se. Completely different than the conversation we were having 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, I, I took a page out of your book and did the. What's this? Oh, my God.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Chosen.

[Courtney Miller]

The, the chosen. But I adjusted. I adjusted it a little bit.

[Angela Hicks]

Yeah. And you had a sea turtle shirt on, though.

[Courtney Miller]

I did have a sea turtle shirt on.

[Angela Hicks]

You literally did a wolf guy. Yeah. You had sea turtle.

[Courtney Miller]

I love that character. You do so much that it was like, I hope I, I just hope I didn't ruffle any feathers. No, I'm Jimming every camera while I say that.

[Angela Hicks]

I don't think anyone cares. You know, Jim, in the camera, everyone's chosen.

[Courtney Miller]

Like, you look at the camera to imply something.

[Angela Hicks]

No, everyone's the chosen. That's the thing.

[Courtney Miller]

Oh, okay.

[Angela Hicks]

You're Alpha Jared. Alpha Jared.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Yeah. Alpha Jared is long. Lives in Long beach near the aquarium. That's.

[Angela Hicks]

It's very addicted to start talking to that voice.

[Courtney Miller]

I realized that that's why I wanted to bring up because I was like, I didn't want, like, 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.

[Angela Hicks]

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.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah.

[Angela Hicks]

That's how you really lock in. Nobody, I think, plays it better than Spencer. Spencer. 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. But yeah, I don't. I. At this point, everybody on Smosh has played the Chosen.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Have you seen our Too Many Chosen or the Chosen Multiverse video?

[Angela Hicks]

We do a chosen multiverse.

[Courtney Miller]

That was the one you guys were playing like. You guys were playing, like, ping pong.

[Angela Hicks]

This joke is so good.

[Courtney Miller]

You were doing something. Oh, you were playing Zoom. Crazy Bonds. You did Crazy Bonds.

[Angela Hicks]

No, we do, like, classic things. It's very fun. The lore is that chosens from every universe come together once a year to.

[Courtney Miller]

This is a good clip. This.

[Angela Hicks]

What was the first professional sports league to surpass 1 billion followers on social media? No, it was the NBA. Oh. I'm being told it's like the WNBA but all dudes.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

That's so interesting that this editing is there.

[Courtney Miller]

That was really strange.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Ventro variety. Like, as if they have real trivia happening.

[Angela Hicks]

But yeah, it's a very fun character.

[Courtney Miller]

Do you guys. When you guys are at Smosh as cast members, do you feel a pressure to be always inventing new little characters?

[Angela Hicks]

I think so. A little bit.

[Courtney Miller]

Like, is that something that, like, you guys. Like, what. In terms of the creative process for Smosh, do you guys stress out about the most?

[D'Angelo Wallace]

What do we stress out?

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah, what's something that you're like, oh, I gotta get this figured out, you know? Is that a weird question?

[D'Angelo Wallace]

No, no, not at. I'm taking a moment because it's like, 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 of things that freak me out.

[Angela Hicks]

Yeah, we don't have, like, meetings to come up with new characters. It's just kind of a thing as you go along. It's just like, oh, shit. Like.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Yeah, on a.

[Angela Hicks]

More.

[Courtney Miller]

I definitely imagine something that, like, you are at home and you're like, oh.

[Angela Hicks]

Personal level, I'll be like, man, I haven't like, come up with a new character in a long time.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah. Yeah.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

But then, like, Will, we had this episode of Bit City that just came out, which is like a. Like a bunch of different segments within a show that are like, all sketches and stuff. And he did an interview as, like, the third son to Stephen King. And, like, you. Like, literally, I've never seen you practice it or say anything about it to anybody. And you went and did that, and, like, that one's obviously coming back. It was so funny.

[Angela Hicks]

Yeah.

[Courtney Miller]

What was that guy? What was the whole shtick?

[Angela Hicks]

I just played him, like, you know, because. Because a lot of authors are just weird people. And, like, Stephen King is such a psycho. Like, looks so weird, maybe, and his sons look exactly the same.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

You could maybe Stephen King character or something.

[Angela Hicks]

I was just Stephen King's son. Like, third son that nobody's heard about and.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Oh, God. Oh, God. Not the millions of sketches that we've done.

[Angela Hicks]

Yeah. I don't know.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

It's very. I was gonna say on YouTube, it would be like a. Like a. Like a compilation thing. I don't know.

[Angela Hicks]

It's all right. Beverly Mar.

[Courtney Miller]

Not gonna find it.

[Angela Hicks]

It's okay.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

It's okay. Sorry I derailed.

[Angela Hicks]

Yeah, you just. You just kind of, like.

[Courtney Miller]

It's just. It's just funny to see some, like. Because I wouldn't want to have the job that Tucker has right now of trying to find something that's like. Like. Like searching through the Internet super hard.

[Angela Hicks]

Oh, it's okay.

[Courtney Miller]

Is this a new. This is a new.

[Angela Hicks]

It's pretty new. So it's.

[Shane Madej]

It's.

[Angela Hicks]

It's. It's okay.

[Shane Madej]

Artists first.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Sorry.

[Shane Madej]

Oh, we should watch this game.

[Angela Hicks]

Makes me happy.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Sponsored.

[Angela Hicks]

Nice.

[Courtney Miller]

I just love it as it's saying it's okay in the same delivery of it. It's okay.

[Angela Hicks]

Oh, but no, but there. There is definitely a pressure, but it's not, like, said out loud at smosh. It's more of an internal pressure of, like, oh, shit. Like, I need to come up with something.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah.

[Shane Madej]

Like, the CEO is like, we need characters. Shane, when was the last time you made a new character?

[D'Angelo Wallace]

We did have series that we were using to try and be like a. Like a churning engine. Never said those two words together before. But like a place, a turning engine for characters. Like, we had America's Next Top something, and so we did America's Next Top simp.

[Angela Hicks]

Yeah.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Most recently, Dominic came from.

[Angela Hicks]

We just would play darts, but we would be characters.

[Mark Fischbach]

That's right.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Dart.

[Angela Hicks]

That's how Spencer made Fred Darth. Who was probably the most recently, like, loved character?

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah, he was the guy who was like, oh, boy.

[Angela Hicks]

Yeah. And he's like. He's like, well, somebody say meatloaf. And if you go to the Limb Bizkit break stuff music video, you will see the top comments are, like, quoting him and his character.

[Shane Madej]

Wow.

[Angela Hicks]

Then we do our gentleman stuff, which has been really big this past year, where we just dress up as gentlemen, play games, and you have some good clips.

[Courtney Miller]

There's some.

[Angela Hicks]

We just play the worst people on the planet.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah.

[Angela Hicks]

Meet our other warriors. Was that Ace Ventura?

[Courtney Miller]

What? Yeah, that's a. That's a. So was. This is just a clarification. Is Spencer. Was he a part of, like, the crew? And then he became like. He's still in.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

He started as an editor, like, right. 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.

[Courtney Miller]

So. That's great.

[Angela Hicks]

I'm sorry, Just one of the suggested things to the right is a lgbt.

[Courtney Miller]

And it says gay test.

[Shane Madej]

Good luck passing this five question if.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

You want in the world Bus test.

[Shane Madej]

Tucker, you gotta try it.

[Angela Hicks]

No, if you fail, it's like, sorry, dude, you're not gay.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Oh, no. Oh, no.

[Angela Hicks]

Popup comes up. It's like, you're gay. You failed. You're gay.

[Courtney Miller]

I wonder who that's for? Because he's on incognito. So it's like this just like, comes across, like. Comes across like some Midwestern dread or something. And he's like, I'm definitely not. But just to be sure, just check.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Where's the bisexual column?

[Courtney Miller]

Oh, what you. Wait, which one?

I think we're all getting heat stroke.

[Angela Hicks]

I think there's more specific ones.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

The raid is getting into our brain cell.

[Shane Madej]

How come. How come lesbians get a flag and gay people, like, gay men only get the. The. The larger banner to fly?

[Shane Madej]

Maybe Meat. Some. Some bacon.

[Angela Hicks]

Oh, yeah. Would you rather we never have bacon?

[Shane Madej]

Unlimited bacon. But no more video games.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

No.

[Shane Madej]

Or games. Unlimited games. But no games.

[Angela Hicks]

No, but no games, though.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Games or bacon. I am games.

[Shane Madej]

What?

[Angela Hicks]

No. But you don't get games either way.

[Courtney Miller]

Wait, what?

[D'Angelo Wallace]

But I thought.

[Shane Madej]

Did you hear what I said?

[Courtney Miller]

Do you not hear what you said?

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Unlimited games.

[Courtney Miller]

I feel like he was being pretty crystal crystal clear.

[Shane Madej]

Do you want me to say it again?

[D'Angelo Wallace]

I don't care about bacon. That's all I will say.

[Courtney Miller]

Whoa. Even unlimited bacon is unlimited.

[Angela Hicks]

Does the bacon. Can the bacon appear at any time?

[Shane Madej]

Yes.

[Angela Hicks]

Okay, I'll take the bacon.

[Courtney Miller]

Unlimited bacon.

[Angela Hicks]

Because I can survive anywhere.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

I'd be fine.

[Courtney Miller]

You'll be. What are you doing?

[Angela Hicks]

I don't want to find a water source.

[Shane Madej]

You are good.

[Courtney Miller]

So you're doing games. Unlimited games with no games.

[Shane Madej]

Yeah, but there's no games.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

That's okay. I will watch other people play video games.

[Shane Madej]

No, no, no, no. You don't get it. You're. You're choosing a world where there's no games.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Okay? And that's all games or no bacon.

[Courtney Miller]

No. Like, what do you even know bacon? You can't even, like, joke.

[Shane Madej]

When did I say there wasn't bacon?

[D'Angelo Wallace]

You said unlimited bacon.

[Shane Madej]

Yeah, that's unlimited bacon. That's not no bacon.

[Courtney Miller]

That's unlimited bacon.

[Angela Hicks]

Look, he's. What he's saying is making sense now.

[Courtney Miller]

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?

[Angela Hicks]

Ooh, I get to add an ingredient?

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah, add an ingredient. Like, we've got a long toothpick that's going through.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

You eat this sandwich with everything in it.

[Courtney Miller]

At the end of the season, we tried to make one at, like, episode. Like, around the hundredth episode. So like, maybe 40 episodes ago, and it was.

[Angela Hicks]

Olives.

[Courtney Miller]

Oh, well, you get. You could both. You're individuals.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

You could choose.

[Angela Hicks]

So I'll add olives, some green olives.

[Shane Madej]

I get a dirty sandwich.

[Angela Hicks]

Yeah.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Okay. My favorite thing on a sandwich that nobody ever has is bubbies.

[Shane Madej]

Bubbies?

[Courtney Miller]

What is that?

[D'Angelo Wallace]

They are bread and butter chips. They're like pickles, but, like, sweet wheat, and there's, like, pickles.

[Angela Hicks]

I think the combination of olives and bubbies is really bad already. No, I don't think they work together.

[Courtney Miller]

Oh, dude, there's. There's, like, barbacoa on there. There's, like, what are some of the crazy ingredients?

[Shane Madej]

The vague notion of a gardener oh, yeah. Cutting. Danny Gonzalez gave us.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah. The vague notion of a man at sunset cutting his lawn with a scythe.

[Angela Hicks]

That sounds like him.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Who's that?

[Angela Hicks]

Danny Gonzalez.

[Courtney Miller]

Gonzalez, yeah.

[Shane Madej]

What's bubbies?

[Courtney Miller]

Bubbies is chip. Sweet.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Look, a picture of bubbies, please. Search of the podcast.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah. This was almost a two hour episode.

[Shane Madej]

That's crazy.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Yeah. How did you miss that?

[Courtney Miller]

I don't know.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

I was.

[Courtney Miller]

I just like talking to you guys.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

[Angela Hicks]

[Shane Madej]

Oh.

[Courtney Miller]

Oh, these are actual pickles.

[Angela Hicks]

Yeah, they're. They are made. They are good for sandwiches, just not with other things.

[Shane Madej]

Oh, bread and butter chips. You put them on bread and butter, Mommy.

[Courtney Miller]

No, no, that's a style of.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

It's a snacking pickle too. So you just kind of eat it with your hands.

[Courtney Miller]

My favorite pickle is Clausen.

[Angela Hicks]

I'm a Clausen man.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah, that's. That's spears.

[Angela Hicks]

Yeah. I like a whole pickle if I can get it.

[Courtney Miller]

Wow.

[Angela Hicks]

See, I don't like bubbies. Cause I don't like sweet pickles.

[Courtney Miller]

I don't.

[Angela Hicks]

It's a little bit too savory or spicy.

[Courtney Miller]

It's a little too vinegary for me. Like this because that's.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Careful with that word, buddy.

[Courtney Miller]

I guess if you. Yeah.

[Angela Hicks]

You work with this guy.

[Courtney Miller]

Damn.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

Oh, yeah, I try Bubbies, please. Try Bubbies, please.

[Courtney Miller]

I really. Yeah.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

I love a turkey sandwich with bubbies.

[Courtney Miller]

That's crazy. That's a crazy call out. I. Hey, guys, thanks for watching.

[Angela Hicks]

It is so hot.

[Courtney Miller]

I know.

[Angela Hicks]

You warned us before we started recording, we recorded way longer.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah, we recorded recording for about. I mean, every episode is technically supposed to be 50 minutes. We record for 50 minutes more than we know, like, what we prescribed. Guys, thank you.

[Shane Madej]

You're not making sense anymore. We gotta go.

[D'Angelo Wallace]

All right, which bar are we going to?

[Courtney Miller]

Bubby's bar. I don't know. All right, thanks for watching, everyone. This is Shane, Tom and Courtney Miller. See you guys later. Peace. Bye.
