Amanda
And I'm Amanda. And we have a wonderful guest with us today, our boss, Ian Hecox.
Ian Hecox
That's right, the boss.
Amanda
Do you like being called the boss?
Ian Hecox
No, I don't.
Amanda
Okay. Our friend who's not our boss.
Ian Hecox
Yeah. I mean, you also don't have to call me your friend now.
Shane
That was boss, the guy that we.
Amanda
Found on the street and also our boss and not our friend.
Ian Hecox
Technically. I found you.
Amanda
Oh, my God. See, he is boss. This is boss behavior.
Ian Hecox
It's giving boss.
Amanda
But like, sorry.
Shane
Ugh.
Ian Hecox
I feel like I've started off very combative this morning. Okay, let me walk it back a little bit.
Shane
All right, let's walk it back. Hi. Welcome to Smosh Mouth. I'm Shane.
Amanda
And I'm Amanda. And we have a wonderful guest with us today, our boss, Ian Hecox.
Ian Hecox
Thank you for having me, Amanda. Thank you for having me, Shane.
Shane
Thanks, Ian. Thank you. Wow. Very cool.
Amanda
Not our friend.
Ian Hecox
I'm. I'm. I'm very happy to be here.
Amanda
We're very happy to have you. We have a very special episode.
Shane
Yeah.
Amanda
And I'm a little bit nervous about it because we all know how well I do with trivia.
Shane
So some Fun lore about our producer Selena is that she. We found out recently, she genuinely. Her dream is to end up on Jeopardy. And she. She's actually working towards this. She is studying up. And it's been. I think it's been going on for months now. You've been working on this. So we thought it'd be fun to go through the practice tests that there are online. If you want to apply to Jeopardy. You can go to these, see how well you do. They're a good litmus test. We've not studied at all.
Amanda
No. 0%.
Shane
But we're going to take several of these tests.
Amanda
But I do feel like Ian's going to be very good at it because every time I've done trivia with Ian, he slept plays it.
Ian Hecox
So I am a repository for very useless knowledge.
Shane
Hey, no. No knowledge is useless.
Amanda
No. Jeopardy is very useful knowledge. Right.
Shane
Yeah. Yeah. Knowing all the, like, archipelagos of the world, and we need that old movies and things like that. My favorite on Jeopardy. Is when anything video games related comes up and people do not know what the hell's going on.
Ian Hecox
Oh, it's so frustrating.
Shane
Yeah. Cause it's a very specific type of nerd that ends up on Jeopardy. And they're not video game nerds.
Amanda
Selena, study up on your.
Shane
Oh, I think Selena know Selena. Selena works here.
Amanda
Selena's gonna be set.
Ian Hecox
This part is known as the powerhouse of the cell.
Shane
Yeah.
Ian Hecox
There you go. She got it. I think she's ready.
Amanda
Not going to do well.
Shane
Well, all three of us will work together as a team.
Amanda
Yes.
Shane
Today.
Amanda
Yes. And then there's also celebrity Jeopardy. In the future if we ever want to, you know, pretend to go on there and have fun.
Ian Hecox
So is that just like Jeopardy. For stupider people?
Shane
Yeah, actually, some people go on and slay.
Amanda
Do they?
Shane
Some people go on and crush.
Amanda
Wow.
Shane
I'm sure there's some smart celebrities out there.
Ian Hecox
Of course.
Shane
Yeah.
Amanda
Yeah. We were just talking about a really good celebrity, Michael B. Jordan.
Shane
We were.
Amanda
I don't know if he's smart, but he is gorgeous.
Shane
I think he's got to be somewhat smart. He's.
Amanda
I mean, he's made amazing.
Ian Hecox
He's made good career decisions.
Shane
He really has, man.
Amanda
Yeah. We were talking about the Wire. I don't know where he got his start because he's really young. In the Wire.
Ian Hecox
He's a little baby boy. In the Wire.
Shane
I think Fruitvale Station was like, he got recognized. And then Creed. Creed was. I think what. What made him a list was Black Panther.
Ian Hecox
Yes.
Amanda
I agree.
Shane
Absolutely. Annihilated but he was also in Friday.
Amanda
Night Lights and he crushed it.
Shane
He's been around. I mean he's one of, he's one of those people that's been around a long ass time. I did watch the show. It's such a good show. He's been around forever. But then he like list it's a 10 year overnight success situation. Like he's technically been successful for decades. He's just now right what he is.
Amanda
And now he's in Sinners.
Shane
He's awesome.
Amanda
He's.
Shane
He really is dope as hell. He's really good. But Ryan Coogler as a director.
Ian Hecox
Yeah.
Shane
Might be like he's putting out the hits, man. Oh yeah, he's non stop hits.
Amanda
You just want to watch his movies. Like he just, he understands what I love about him, especially with Sinners. And I won't give anything away. He understands music, cinematic music. He understands like music culture and then mixing it together cinematically. It makes you feel so many things when you're watching it. And he always is so good at that. Like that's what I loved about Black Panther. I know that Kendrick Lamar did all the music for it, but like you're sitting there and you're like, you're feeling it like it is like you were so transported into it. And that's what I love. And that's what he does with Sinners. I mean Sinners is about music.
Ian Hecox
I still haven't seen the second Black Panther.
Shane
It was good.
Amanda
Oh really? I liked it. I thought it was really good. Yeah, it's kind of sad.
Shane
I've definitely gotten. I'm just a little burned out on, on Marvel stuff.
Ian Hecox
Sad to say because was. Was Black Panther 2 after Endgame. Yeah, yeah, that's why.
Amanda
But you saw, you went to the premiere of Thunderbolts.
Shane
I did. That was really cool. Yeah, that was awesome. No, I mean, I'm not saying they're like there's anything wrong with any of the movies. I just, it's been going for so long and I. The problem is once you slip up.
Ian Hecox
And miss there's something wrong with some of the movies.
Shane
Oh yeah, for sure. No, it's a million movies. Not all of them are good. But. But once you like miss one of the Disney plus shows or one of the movies, then I'm kind of like, oh, I don't know. What.
Amanda
Oh yeah.
Shane
Not fully locked in on the universe.
Amanda
Tell me, is Craven a Marvel movie?
Ian Hecox
No, it's a Sony movie. Yeah, it's a Sony Marvel.
Shane
It's a Marvel property. But it's.
Amanda
That was probably the worst.
Shane
I mean, if we're talking about, if we're including that. Madame Web is, is so bad.
Ian Hecox
But Madam Web is good. Madam Web is incredible.
Shane
I never saw Morbius, but Madame Web.
Ian Hecox
Morbius.
Shane
When I saw Madame Web, I could not believe it was made.
Amanda
But I thought Madame Web was better than Craven. Craven.
Shane
I heard it's really.
Amanda
They had really bad CGI issues. Like the character that played Calypso, she. They, like, fucked up her storyline, so they had to redo. So there's one scene when she's like turning and it looks like that Snapchat filter where there's the fake mouth over it and you're like, she's a fake mouth.
Ian Hecox
They did that.
Amanda
The CGI is so bad.
Ian Hecox
I feel like some of Morbius is that way too, because I recently, I recently. Because I guess I like pain. I watched Morbius recently and I swear, like, some of that stuff was like a face filter where it was like, Jared Leto, he goes. And he goes like, vampire for a second. It looks so bad.
Shane
I've heard that. Cause the CG is like, worse now than it was 10 years ago. And I've heard it's just. Cause the timeline is so sped up. It's just the timeline. These people have no time to work on stuff.
Amanda
Well, also, I know this isn't Marvel, but the Superman movie with Henry Cavill, that whole CGI mess up with the mustache because he had the mustache for Mission Impossible. And they were like, the people at Mission Impossible were like, he cannot shave his mustache. And they're like, well, we need him for Superman.
Ian Hecox
Dude. The weird lip. Yeah, the CG lip.
Shane
I feel like the pendulum is swinging and we're about to enter the dc' on top again.
Amanda
What?
Ian Hecox
No.
Shane
Shot the new Superman movies coming out. And it does look really good.
Amanda
Superman.
Shane
I don't know his name, but he looks awesome. And I, I'm digging the vibes from the trailers. Look, I, I, I, I've been such a Marvel fan for a long time. But hey, this stuff looks awesome. But I did love, you know, the Batman movies back in the day with Christian Bale.
Amanda
Okay. Weird thing.
Shane
That was when D.C. was like, well, the King.
Ian Hecox
Because that's, that's the issue. Because, like. Cause Batman Begins, which is a Christopher Nolan film, because he was the first one to kind of like take superhero movies back to being serious and dark. And the issue is that's Christopher Nolan doing it. And then all the studios were like, oh, we gotta do dark, gritty Because Batman Begins and the Dark Knight Rises did so well. And it's like it didn't do well because it was dark and gritty. It did well because they had one of the best directors alive.
Amanda
You know what's weird is I literally just not kidding, rewatched all three of them and I watched the Dark Knight Rises last night. I'm not even kidding.
Shane
Yeah, I don't love that one.
Amanda
That one's. I don't love that one either. You know why? Anne Hathaway as, as, as Selina Kyle, she kind of drove me nuts. But I will say I give her that outfit though. I give Bane.
Shane
He's awesome. I give that movie a little grace because I think, you know, production wise of it, it. They had to shift some plans around. So I think the, the original plan for that trilogy was probably different.
Amanda
Probably or actually I don't know.
Shane
But you know, you know, my take on so much of it is like we talk about like Marvel or DC movies as being like, oh, this series of stuff is good. But I think it, like you said, it's a Christopher Nolan movie. It's like just, they have to individually just be good movies.
Amanda
Agree.
Shane
And I think they've kind of lost that a bit over the past like decade.
Amanda
They're like, oh, these together are good.
Shane
Stuck to a formula and not allowing directors to just do their thing. Yeah, I think people really want like.
Ian Hecox
And that's why, why Guardians of the Galaxy was so good. Because here you have another talented director that has a specific vision and that vision shows through on the screen. When you talk about like a director using music really well, oh my God. We all connect Guardians of the Galaxy with the music and the soundtrack that he had for that movie. I don't know if that was all his doing.
Amanda
It was so good though.
Shane
But yeah, we'll see, man. I mean, I've been reading a lot of DC comics recently.
Amanda
Really?
Ian Hecox
Is it James Gunn that's heading the DC movies?
Shane
Yeah, yeah, he' kind of like fully.
Amanda
What else has he done again?
Shane
Well, he did Guardians of the galaxy.
Amanda
And before 1 and 2.
Shane
Cuz all he did all 3.
Amanda
Which one was the one where Kurt Russell was really okay?
Shane
That was two.
Ian Hecox
I still haven't seen three.
Shane
Three is awesome. Three is dark.
Ian Hecox
I need to see it. I just.
Shane
Three is so dark.
Amanda
It is dark.
Shane
I was in a theater. There was a like a 8 year old, maybe younger, a kid nearby when I was sitting there. And truly halfway through the movie, like the dad and his kid had to get up and Go. And I was like, yeah. Like, this is brutal.
Amanda
I will say as a parent, I.
Shane
Was like, really fucked up.
Amanda
When are you. When are you like, this isn't right for kids? Because people keep going like, oh, you know, like, my sisters all have young kids. They're like, oh, they want to watch Smosh.
Shane
And I'm like, well, that's. It wasn't. I will say this about Guardians 3. It wasn't necessarily like, oh, it's inappropriate. It was that. It was just like. It was a fucking brutal part. I was like, I'm messed up. I'm gonna be thinking about this tonight. This is harsh to deal with type of brutal. Not like, oh, you shouldn't be watch this.
Amanda
But like, oh, like, Jesus, this is.
Shane
Going to make that kid so sad.
Amanda
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Shane
Cuz it made me so sad that I was like, I want to leave too.
Ian Hecox
What's a movie that you guys saw way too early?
Shane
I watched Pulp Fiction.
Amanda
Psycho. I think I watched Psycho when I was like 7. My dad was like, we're going to watch this movie. It's going to be awesome.
Shane
Psychos. I think it's rated pg.
Amanda
Yeah, the original Psycho. You're probably right.
Shane
It's not. It's. It's. It's so good at communicating such intense, horrific stuff without actually being inappropriate in any sort of, like, direct way.
Amanda
But it did kind of mess me up. The end part, the psychological end part, so scary. Where it's like, he's the mom. Like that I remember. I'll never forget that.
Shane
No, it's one of the best.
Amanda
What about you?
Ian Hecox
Well, for me, I didn't even. I didn't even watch the movie. I caught. I caught the worst part of this movie as I was like walking into my friend's house, which was RoboCop. The scene where the toxic sludge, James is like. The toxic sludge pours all over the guy. He's like melting and then a car runs into him and he just disintegrates. And I saw that as like, I don't know, an 8 year old and seared into my memory.
Shane
That movie's insane.
Amanda
It's so good. I even like the reboot of it. Sorry, what?
Ian Hecox
Colin Farrell? Is that who's. No, no, I'm thinking Total Recall.
Amanda
No, it's the guy who is. He was in the Killing. I don't know.
Shane
Oh, I got. I got it.
Amanda
You know what I'm saying?
Shane
Some European guy.
Amanda
Yeah. But then he. Then he. Then he became very A list and.
Shane
Now he's like, I know who.
Amanda
You know I'm talking.
Shane
I know who you're talking about. Yeah, he was in a lot of awesome stuff. I don't know his name. But you're doing that. You're doing the thing. It's okay.

We need to hope that these Jeopardy. Quizzes have some movie stuff on it, because I think we'll do okay. Unless it's like, hey, who is that guy from the Killing?
Ian Hecox
Yeah.
Shane
And you're like, what is his name?
Amanda
Here's the deal. I know his name. And if I was in a comm setter, I would easily come up with it for sure. This is why I'm not good with trivia. I know, because I'm like, the cameras are on. I've got you guys looking at me, waiting for the answer.
Shane
You've actually been on game shows, too?
Amanda
I have been on game shows, too, yeah.
Shane
You've been on two game shows?
Amanda
Yeah, and one I lost miserably. And one I won.
Ian Hecox
What did you win?
Amanda
I won $1,000.
Ian Hecox
Okay.
Shane
What was the name of the game show?
Amanda
Pretty Cool Mind of a Man. Fans have already found it. Trust me. They clipped it, and I showed you a video, and I was like, no.
Shane
Hey. So, hey, when the camera's on, you actually can lock in.
Amanda
I can actually.
Ian Hecox
Was it, like, a trivia of, like, what dudes think?
Amanda
Yes.
Ian Hecox
Okay.
Shane
Wow.
Ian Hecox
You got into character.
Amanda
I was the whitest person there. I shouldn't have been there.
Ian Hecox
You were the whitest person there?
Shane
Yeah.
Ian Hecox
Was this, like, a game show on bet or what?
Amanda
Kind of. Yeah.
Shane
Hey, that's awesome, dude.
Ian Hecox
Hold on.
Amanda
I'm not kidding.
Shane
Yeah, that's awesome, man.
Amanda
It was. I think the question I got was, like, what do you use to take out his braids? And I said, coconut oil. Because I was like, I love coconut oil. I use it to. I use it for everything. And I won.
Ian Hecox
Hell, yeah, bro.
Amanda
You came $1,000. And I know the host was looking at me like, why are you here?
Ian Hecox
Yeah, why did.
Shane
You wanted there?
Amanda
Just like, I was like, coconut oil.
Ian Hecox
So you came onto. You came onto a show that was. It was all black people. And then you came on and won the show and took the round.
Amanda
I didn't win the show. I won the round that I was on. But they dressed me very Latina. Like, I like, truly no, that's what they said. They were like, you're Latina, right? I was like, I am Portuguese.
Ian Hecox
And they're like, we don't know the difference.
Amanda
It was a whole thing.
Shane
This is so funny.
Ian Hecox
They're like, today, you're Latina.
Amanda
And I move. It was like. I was like, four months in la.
Ian Hecox
Wow.
Amanda
It was like a casting call thing.
Shane
That's crazy.
Amanda
I didn't know I auditioned for it. And then the other one was later. It was called Emojicon or something.
Shane
Okay.
Amanda
My episode is still on there. Serena knows, and me and my writing partner at the time, we were like, oh, we'll go as a duo. And we had so much fun, and we lost miserably. But it was such a good idea for a show. I think they stopped it. But you essentially have to, like, come up with phrases based off of emojis.
Shane
Okay.
Amanda
Like, they just put emojis, and then you have to, like, guess.
Shane
Cool.
Amanda
And the other couple or the other team were so much better than us.
Ian Hecox
Was that on Game Show Network or something?
Amanda
Yeah.
Shane
That's fun. My dream is to get us, like, Smosh. Any. Any grouping of us onto, like, Family Feud because, you know, we need to have one of those moments where we're asked, like, an embarrassing question and we answer something that's embarrassing. And Steve just goes, yeah.
Ian Hecox
He, like, walks off.
Shane
It's incredible.
Ian Hecox
Yeah.
Amanda
Can't we do this, boss? Can you figure this out for us?
Shane
Can you do this?
Amanda
Can you do this?
Ian Hecox
Yeah. You know, I got Steve's. I got Steve's number. We go. We go. We go shopping for suits a lot.
Shane
Yeah. He does have a new. If you watch a bunch of episodes in a row, he has a new suit every episode.
Ian Hecox
He's dripped out. Have you ever been on his social media?
Amanda
No.
Ian Hecox
He's dripped out.
Shane
He has. That man has to own the most suits out of any man in the world.
Amanda
I love that.
Shane
But anyways, we're about to try to see if we can get on Jeopardy.
Ian Hecox
Yeah.
Shane
Which I think we know the answer to. Good luck. But let's try.
Amanda
Let's try.
Ian Hecox
Yeah.
Shane
Ian, you're gonna be typing, which you're very nervous about. You informed us that you're bad at typing.
Ian Hecox
I was like, you guys want me to type? My WPM is shit. So I guess we'll see.
Amanda
It's gonna be fine.
Ian Hecox
It's also, like, weird, like, typing around a microphone, but yeah.
Shane
Okay, so we want to try. There's three different tests here. We have Jeopardy Teen.
Amanda
What do you think?
Shane
We Have Jeopardy, College Champion, Championship, and Jeopardy.
Ian Hecox
I feel like we should do vanilla Jeopardy.
Amanda
All right.
Shane
All right, Ian. So I will read the question.
Ian Hecox
I'll type and. What are you doing?
Amanda
I'm just gonna fucking vibe.
Shane
Amanda's the brains.
Amanda
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Shane
Okay, okay. Look, we're doing our best. I think we gotta just shoot from the hip.
Amanda
And you have to remind them we have 15 seconds to answer this.
Shane
Each question will have. Each question will have 15 seconds to type it out into there, so. Yeah, and Selena, you said it's like phonetics. We don't have to be perfect spelling or anything. It'll get the vibe good. Okay. Are we ready?
Amanda
Oh, man, we're so ready.
Shane
Each question will be 15 seconds. The whole test is timed, so each question is just going to be up for 15 seconds. Will we see our results at the end or after each question? At the end. At the end. We'll get our full results.
Ian Hecox
Oh, brother.
Amanda
This might be good. This might be good. So we're not like, oh, shit, we got that wrong.
Shane
We got that wrong.
Amanda
We got that wrong.
Shane
We can go through it with just blind confidence.
Ian Hecox
Okay, let's do it. Here we go.
Amanda
Jeopardy.
Ian Hecox
You guys ready?
Shane
We're about to get on Jeopardy.
Amanda
Yeah.
Shane
We're about to annihilate this.
Ian Hecox
I guess. I guess for the sake of people who are listening or audio only, regardless of if we know the answer right away, we should still let Shane say the whole question.
Shane
I'll read out the question if you. Look, Ian, if you know the answer, feel free to start typing it out.
Ian Hecox
Yes.
Shane
But I will read the entire question.
Amanda
Great. And I will be here for so much support.
Ian Hecox
She'll be here for all the coconut oil related.
Shane
Yeah.
Amanda
Yeah.
Shane
If the question has to do with what a man thinks, Amanda's gonna crush it.
Ian Hecox
Yeah.
Amanda
I can't. I literally can't. That is not my legacy.
Ian Hecox
Come on.
Shane
All right, let's hop into it.
Amanda
Let's go.
Ian Hecox
Okay. See, I'm actually one.
Amanda
Here we go.
Shane
Okay. U.S. presidents is the first category. He succeeded James Madison.
Amanda
Oh.
Shane
Oh, shit. Is that. No idea. James Madison.
Ian Hecox
Buchanan.
Shane
You think it was James Buchanan?
Ian Hecox
Lincoln?
Shane
I would say Henry Adams. John Henry. The Bibble. The Bible. Oh, love the Bible. In Genesis, chapter four, the Lord set a mark upon the brother, lest any finishing him should kill him. That was Kane.
Amanda
Kill him.
Shane
That was Kane. Who killed.
Ian Hecox
My favorite. My favorite wrestler bowls.
Shane
Traditionally a Black Russian. Paris. Kahlua. With this liquor.
Ian Hecox
Milk.
Shane
No, White Russian. Right.
Amanda
No, wait, the liquor. It's vodka.
Shane
Okay. Five syllable words. It's the fear of foreign.
Amanda
Didn't know that. This is awesome. I'm learning so much art.
Shane
This armless statue was discovered in pieces on Milos in 1820. Oh, it's that Aphrodite. I think it's. Let's go with Aphrodite.
Amanda
What?
Shane
Weights and measures. Love. Love lifting weights. Four pounds equals this many ounces.
Ian Hecox
It's 12. 12 ounces to pound.
Shane
16 ounces times 16, times 4. 64. Right?
Amanda
I don't know.
Ian Hecox
Novels of the 1800s.
Shane
Edward Rochester catches the eye of this title heroine. What? Oh, I love novels. And I don't know this.
Amanda
Oh, my God. You want to be a writer?
Shane
Is it Emma? Good lord. That's. That's 1700.
Amanda
Oh, God.
Shane
Four letter words.
Amanda
You guys need to slow down.
Ian Hecox

Amanda
So this is for millennials.
Shane
I. I just mean I don't think this is going to be, like, slang or, like, pop culture stuff. I think it's going to still be general knowledge just for teens.

I don't.
Ian Hecox
Scary, I guess. Like, I just don't understand. Like. Like, are they tethered to the ground? How do they get back to where they were before?
Shane
You just lower the heat.
Amanda
You lower.
Shane
Go back down.
Amanda
You cook it down.
Shane
You can only. That's why they only go up on hot air balloons when there's, like, no. No wind.
Ian Hecox
Okay. Okay. Because I say, like. Yeah. You can't control direction, so they can.
Shane
I think they can loosely control it, but it's. It's. It is. You are kind of up to the whims of the wind.
Ian Hecox
Yeah.
Amanda
That's gorgeous. You should write a book with that title, the Whims of the Wind.
Shane
Yeah.
