Hey, guys. So for the next four weeks, we're gonna be doing the Smosh Summer Games Apocalypse Takeover on the Smosh cast. That means we went out to the desert and recorded some kick ass podcasts with all of your favorite Smosh Summer Games members. So enjoy this next month of just crazy good times with all of my favorite people. Enjoy. It literally is over 100 degrees outside. We're just getting so gross. So it actually totally works out that this is our theme because the grimier you look, the more you look. The part we blew.

[Ian Hecox]

It was a shit show. And I kind of knew it was, which is why we called it we blew it. We weren't planning for it. Defy didn't want to do it. It just was what it was. Now we get to do it for real.

[Damien Haas]

They shellacked your toenail?

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah. So that it would start to grow at the same time. And it took, like, years. But actually, my toenail is now one toenail now.

[Damien Haas]

I just made a joke. Cause I said the Wild West Catering people were racist.

[Ian Hecox]

That's bitching.

[Damien Haas]

Well, they gave more food to keep them in. The words out of your.

[Ian Hecox]

Oh, my God, Ian. The words out of your mouth right now.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Summer Games.

[Ian Hecox]

Gable Games.

[Damien Haas]

Apocalypse.

[Ian Hecox]

Apocalypse.

[Damien Haas]

It's a Summer Games Apocalypse podcast with Ian He Cocks. And Matt Rob and Mariko Takahashi.

[Ian Hecox]

Dude, you should take that on the road. That was good.

[Damien Haas]

Thank you. Hello, everybody. You might be wondering, for those of you that are watching, why we look so fucked up. That is because we are kicking off the Smosh Summer Games.

[Ian Hecox]

Apocalypse.

[Damien Haas]

Apocalypse.

[Ian Hecox]

Apocalypse.

[Damien Haas]

So all month long, we're bringing Summer Games back, baby. And it's Apocalypse theme. It's. It's great. We're out here in the desert, it's.

[Ian Hecox]

115 degrees, cooking our asses off.

[Damien Haas]

That is why we are so freaking shiny right now. We just got done shooting our intro. What does that say? Best?

[Ian Hecox]

It says, best route.

[Damien Haas]

So Matt, Matt, Rob got a tattoo.

[Ian Hecox]

I got a tattoo. Says, best rap, best ref. And it's legit. Yeah, it's real.

[Damien Haas]

But we actually have a new ref. We brought Stevie.

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah.

[Damien Haas]

Everyone's favorite character from Smosh lore.

[Ian Hecox]

Uh huh. Uh huh. Stevie is in it.

[Damien Haas]

We'll see how long he's able to keep up the Stevie.

[Ian Hecox]

Well, we had him do Stevie once and he just almost blacked out, so gotta keep it going.

[Damien Haas]

Yeah. He's like, how long do we have.

[Courtney Miller]

To keep doing this?

[Ian Hecox]

I was like, forever Stevie.

[Courtney Miller]

But it's now canon. Stevie makes it to the apocalypse.

[Ian Hecox]

Right. He survives like a cockroach. He did it. Yeah. He's like a bad penny, that Stevie. No, Ryan. Ryan is officially a Summer Games ref. So he gets to jump into the fray with Sarah and I and see who officially is the best ref. It's me. But you could try.

[Damien Haas]

For those of you that don't know what Summer Games is, this is something we love to do every single year. Last year got a little boned because Defy was like, we want more money. And we couldn't. We couldn't deliver on that. So that's why we did. We blew it.

[Ian Hecox]

I feel like if you look at the timeline of things, like, you could tell the writing was on the wall at Defy. If you watch we blew it. You' oh. Summer Games is a week long and it's not very good. And you kind of just.

[Courtney Miller]

$75.

[Ian Hecox]

You guys shot at a park somewhere. It was like. Yeah, no, we know, we know. I had to fight to make that thing happen. And they gave us. I think it was. We got down to an eighth of our regular budget to make it work.

[Damien Haas]

Yeah. And then. And then, like, some of the things didn't even work.

[Ian Hecox]

Yep. We had a giant inflatable Velcro wall, and they brought us suits. And the suits are so small, you didn't fit in them. And I was like, well, Wes, can't we. This.

[Courtney Miller]

You can wear it on one leg.

[Damien Haas]

Tape several suits onto West.

[Ian Hecox]

Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. Just duct tape. Wes, it was a show we blew. It was a shit show. And I kind of knew it was, which is why we called it. We blew it. Like, let's just own it, man. Let's just call it what we know. Like, we messed up. We weren't planning for it. Defy didn't want to do it. It just was what it was. So. Yeah, now we get to do it for real, dude.

[Damien Haas]

Yeah, we did. Did it for real. We. We secured the. We secured the bag, as they say. As the cool kids say.

[Ian Hecox]

Who says? Wait, what bag?

[Damien Haas]

I don't the bag is the money. We. We snatched that bag.

[Ian Hecox]

Is this, like, the bread? Do we get the bread?

[Damien Haas]

Yeah, we got the bread.

[Courtney Miller]

We got the bread.

[Ian Hecox]

Bread has been gotten.

[Damien Haas]

We cooked the bread, we put it in the bag, and we secured the bag.

[Courtney Miller]

We got them so stacked. I'm trying to be cool.

[Damien Haas]

I just don't know why we. Why, like. Because when we. I think you were the one that pitched apocalypse, Matt.

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah.

[Damien Haas]

You know, we were like, okay, yeah. What's a, like, awesome theme? Where do you go in the summer to do an apocalypse thing? Oh, the desert. You know, the hottest place you could possibly go in the summer.

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah, I literally. So we drove out here today. So we are. This is technically the end of day one for us of five. Yeah. So things could go awry. We have no idea. You might not even be seeing the Summer Games. Who knows? At the end of the week, as we were driving out here, it hit me. I was like, oh, apocalypse desert hot. Like, up until then, it's literally just been like stats on a piece of paper. And then I'm like, oh, yeah.

[Courtney Miller]

It's also hot. With layered clothing to make it look apocalyptic. Plus, like, eyeliner. All the boys have eyeliner on this.

[Ian Hecox]

Time around, except for me. I refuse to put eyeliner on. Yes.

[Courtney Miller]

It's natural.

[Ian Hecox]

It doesn't make any sense. The apocalypse. Why do they wear layers? Everyone should just be in thongs. It doesn't make any sense. It's just warmer.

[Damien Haas]

I don't think that's. If you see people that live out in the desert, they don't walk around in thongs.

[Ian Hecox]

They should.

[Damien Haas]

They kind of stay fully covered because the sun is a real son of a bee.

[Ian Hecox]

Eventually your skin becomes close. It becomes just full on leather.

[Damien Haas]

Leather.

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah, exactly.

[Damien Haas]

Oh, trust me, I've seen plenty of that. I live in Los Angeles.

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Courtney Miller]

That's vegan though, right?

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah, I know. A human skin is vegan. No, I mean, we're. We're stoked. I'm so excited, man. It's day one. We just shot the trailer, which everyone has seen at this point.

[Damien Haas]

Yeah. If you guys haven't seen that, like.

[Ian Hecox]

Go right now because pause the pod if you're driving. Pull over, Pull over, pull up YouTube.comsmurf and go and watch the trailer. Because it's there. But if you're here, you probably watched it already.

[Damien Haas]

Yeah, we're super happy with. With all the competitions that. That we have planned. Don't know yet. I guess I. I guess I shouldn't say we're super happy with it yet, because this could be a complete disaster. And. And you guys will have to watch to find out just how much of a.

[Ian Hecox]

Of a clusterfuck it'll be on brand, though. A disaster. Apocalypse. End of days. What if it's just, like, halfway through? We're like. We just stopped.

[Damien Haas]

Yeah.

[Ian Hecox]

The actual apocalypse happened.

[Damien Haas]

We just literally lost a third of our people to malaria.

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah.

[Damien Haas]

And jaundice.

[Ian Hecox]

I feel like pulling that out.

[Courtney Miller]

Summer Games, though. There's always something that happens, you know, like somebody's passing out from the heat or somebody gets hives. Somebody gets. Somebody gets chucked by, you know, a giant man on our team. Wes.

[Ian Hecox]

Jovan Jones jumps on Wes's back and almost, like, separates his spine. Yeah.

[Damien Haas]

So hinky sustains a small injury and has to go home. So he gets to go overwatch.

[Ian Hecox]

It wasn't to play overwatch. He got sick. He was on antibiotics. But that sad walking away shot is one of my most proudest moments I've ever gotten.

[Damien Haas]

Dude, real talk. That sad walking away shot was probably one of the most beautiful things we've ever shot.

[Courtney Miller]

I wish it would have gotten real popular and viral and memed out, you know?

[Ian Hecox]

Would have been great.

[Courtney Miller]

It could still happen.

[Ian Hecox]

That's true. Put it out there in the world.

[Damien Haas]

What video is that even on? On? Because, like, we. So he did not know that we filmed him walking away.

[Ian Hecox]

He didn't. He was just getting picked up.

[Damien Haas]

Like, you just saw him walking away. You're like, wow, that looks.

[Ian Hecox]

My phone.

[Damien Haas]

That looks really sad. And so you recorded it.

[Ian Hecox]

I think it was the finale because I think he was in everything but the finale. So we're like. And so hinky.

[Damien Haas]

No, so Hinky left after, like, the first day.

[Ian Hecox]

Did he?

[Damien Haas]

Yeah, it was like. It was like day two. He was out.

[Ian Hecox]

Well, we wanted him here, but he's in Italy doing Italian things.

[Damien Haas]

I know, dude. He's. He's posting so many, like, pictures of food, and it's making me so jelly.

[Ian Hecox]

While we're out here eating dust.

[Damien Haas]

Yeah. He's, like, taking pictures of architecture, and I'm like, oh, cool old shit.

[Ian Hecox]

I like that.

[Damien Haas]

Show me more. I've been following his stories. Pretty, pretty.

[Ian Hecox]

He's having a good time. He needs a vacation. Dude's working a lot.

[Damien Haas]

Oh, yeah.

[Ian Hecox]

He needs a vacation.

[Damien Haas]

Yeah.

[Ian Hecox]

But we wanted to have him. But in lieu of a. So hinky, we've got Kimmy, our pal Kimmy. You've seen in a bunch of sketch stuff.

[Damien Haas]

Yeah.

[Ian Hecox]

She's jumping in the fray. She. A new challenger appears, which is cool.

[Damien Haas]

Kimmy's joining. Joining the brawl.

[Ian Hecox]

The battle.

[Damien Haas]

The battle.

[Ian Hecox]

She's joining the battle. She's stepping up for apocalypse. She might not make it. She might die by the end. We don't know.

[Damien Haas]

That's true.

[Ian Hecox]

You may never see Kimmy again after.

[Courtney Miller]

A fox to get in this, man. Because it's like, it's. The conditions are crazy, but we're all really competitive. And then you put cameras in front of you and people do crazy things, just unexpected, weird things. And now. Now Kimmy's. Kimmy's jumping right in.

[Damien Haas]

Well, that's what happens when you put 12 attention whores in front of a camera. We're all going to be. We're all going to be vying for that, you know, ultimate shot.

[Ian Hecox]

Yes. Well, because we've taught you that, like, moments are the biggest thing in Summer Games. Like, everybody gets your moment. So it's. Now you have 12 people be like, but also this. But what about this? And like, at the exact same time. Yeah. Look at this. Joven's like, almost suck a toe. It's like, no one's asking you to suck a toe, man.

[Damien Haas]

He actually did ask to suck a toe multiple times.

[Ian Hecox]

Yes. He thinks that's going to be his moment.

[Damien Haas]

Yeah. Because we all had a. We all had a pre pro meeting, which I missed because I was sick. But. But I. I was. I was in on the conference call, and I heard Joven go. Because you guys were listing out punishments for the celebrity punishment shootout that we're doing.

[Ian Hecox]

Zombie celebrities.

[Damien Haas]

Zombie.

[Ian Hecox]

Not really shooting celebrities.

[Damien Haas]

I did see a Fabio out there, and it brought me back to the old, old smosh days. But Joven was like, oh, yeah, we could, like, suck a toe. Like, I'll suck a toe. It's like, Joven. No.

[Ian Hecox]

Completely unsolicited. No one asked him to. He's just going to do it.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah. He forgot that it's a punishment.

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah.

[Courtney Miller]

He just thought it was just a voluntary moment.

[Ian Hecox]

I was like, no, no, no, buddy. No. It's fun.

[Courtney Miller]

We'll find out if he does it.

[Ian Hecox]

It's true. Yeah, that's very true.

[Courtney Miller]

I think we should figure out who's got the grossest toe and then make him suck that toe.

[Damien Haas]

Well, it's your toe, right? This was discussed on the travel vlog, which. Will that have been out at this point? Probably not yet. We filmed a travel vlog, all of us crammed into a van. Joven was very adamant that you have the grossest toe.

[Courtney Miller]

So I Definitely used to. Because I have lost my big toe so many times. My toenail. My toenail. Sorry.

[Ian Hecox]

Where do you find it? I lost it. There it is.

[Damien Haas]

Are you a lizard?

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah.

[Courtney Miller]

It's just detachable. No, I've lost my toenail so many times that at some point it split in half so that it would grow at different times.

[Ian Hecox]

No.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah. And so I. You had a bipolar toenail to like have like recovery basically and have like, like it was like shellacked and like, I don't know what they. Whatever they put on.

[Damien Haas]

They shellacked your toenail.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah. So that it would start to grow at the same time. And it took like years. But actually my toenail is now one toenail now.

[Damien Haas]

Is it like a beautiful baby toenail?

[Ian Hecox]

No, it's like a giant toe and like a tiny little toe.

[Damien Haas]

Yeah.

[Ian Hecox]

Well, now you're on Wikifeet, so it all worked out.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah. And my Wikifeet grade is pretty good. 4.8 out of 5.

[Damien Haas]

You know, to be honest, I don't think I've. I don't think I've ever seen a bad Wiki feet score. I feel like everybody that's on Wiki Feet, people are like five stars.

[Ian Hecox]

Add me right now, it's going to be bad.

[Damien Haas]

I don't know, man. Because I feel like people that are in defeat and you know, took a turn. Yeah. Well, you know, let it happen. Okay, let's talk about feet.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Sure.

[Damien Haas]

I feel like people that are into feet, I don't know if they're into like beautiful like perfect feet. Like I think they, I think some of them like like it. Like gross and dirty.

[Courtney Miller]

Oh, they must all that means that. Is that why mine is so high? Because I've got some photos out there where my feet are duct taped together and bloody from my dancing days.

[Damien Haas]

And they rated that up.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah, I mean it's uploaded. Yeah, it's up there. I'm hitting that niche. I got you, fam.

[Damien Haas]

Feel like I like a girl with battle scars.

[Ian Hecox]

I don't like this anymore.

[Joven Jones]

[Damien Haas]

Sorry. Let's get back to Smosh Summer Games.

[Ian Hecox]

Feet.

[Damien Haas]

So, Matt, you. This was sort of your brainchild from the beginning. Like, Smosh summer games in general, all the way back to the beach house. Smosh summer Games. That was. That was sort of your brainchild. It was you and Joe.

[Ian Hecox]

It was Joe and I together. So the reason why we came up with it was because at the time, the squad and games were literally on the opposite corners of the building. Like, there was, like, no, like you. They were like, games was as far away from squad as possible. And, like, we'd wander over and be like, hey, what's your name? I'm Courtney. It was, like, cool. I'm Joe. And, like, we would wander over and play, but, like, Joe and I were like, I would be the one over there a lot. Joe would be over the one over here. And I was like, this is so dumb. We're all under the same brand. And this is part of the reason why in the new Smosh, where everything's under one roof, but we're like, we got to do something to, like, get people to like each other. Like, what do we do? And I was like, we just go out and do something. I was like, well, why don't we. If we're going to do it, let's film it. Like, let's go and do a thing. So we decided. I knew somebody who owned the Snapchat house at the time. It was the Snapchat house and the Venice beach house. I think if you even go down to Venice, it's like a bright blue. Is it still blue? I think it's still blue. Bright blue house on Venice Beach. Gorgeous. And they're like, yeah, if you guys want to film here, go for it. So I was like, cool. What do we want to do? I was like, let's just do, like, a bunch of, like, MTV beach house, like, summer competition stuff. I was like, that's rad. That's awesome. Like, I know how to shoot in the beach. Like, we've done it before. Like, let's do it. And we came up with it, and it became, like, this biggest thing we've ever done. Yeah. And it blew up, and it was stupid fun. And we even. I think going back to that. Even that competition, there were things that went awry, people got hurt. I think Noah got in a car Accident stuff that was happening left. And like, it was like every single summer games has had something go wrong. But that was.

[Damien Haas]

It was so weird to think like the first one was done out in the public.

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah.

[Damien Haas]

And there was just like people just kind of like standing around because it's on Venice beach.

[Ian Hecox]

If you watch the T shirt contest. We're literally just standing there. People are just watching us.

[Damien Haas]

Yeah.

[Courtney Miller]

We're in a driveway.

[Damien Haas]

Yeah. We're just like right on the sidewalk of Venice Beach. So there's thousands of tourists that go through there a day. And here we are doing a wet teacher contest.

[Courtney Miller]

No shame.

[Damien Haas]

But it's all the men.

[Ian Hecox]

Yes.

[Damien Haas]

And we're just being dumb. Dumb. And these people are like walking by like, ooh, what's this? Some great big Hollywood movie. I see a guy with a boom pole. This must be a big Hollywood movie. And then they come up there and it's Joven rubbing his nipples while he's getting sprayed with water.

[Ian Hecox]

Uh huh. Yep. That's quality content.

[Damien Haas]

Yeah.

[Ian Hecox]

And it was also like, back then we had a crew. I think it was like two cam ops and a sound guy. And now to think that like Wild west and even this, we have like a crew of like 30 people. Like, it's. It's become this massive thing. And like, I think camp. Camp. We didn't know what it was gonna be camp. We were just kinda like, I knew somebody that ran a Jewish summer camp and like, they were like, it's closed. Like, do you guys wanna come out here? And I was like, it's got lodging. It's got everything that we need. Like, it's a cool way to get out there and do a thing. And like, it's also bonding and we can like do stuff together. And then it was, it was great. It was awesome. And then Wild west were just like, burn all the money. The most expensive thing I've ever directed. It was an intense thing. We shot a 12 and a half hour long fight scene. Yeah, that was intense.

[Damien Haas]

The fight scene was over the top.

[Ian Hecox]

Yes.

[Damien Haas]

In terms of like. Because we were, we were so rushed for production on the actual games. Like, I know like, you guys watching the games, you're like, oh yeah. It's like, you know, they just shot it, whatever. But it's like it's a mad dash from, from one game to the next in order to get it all before sundown.

[Ian Hecox]

Yes.

[Damien Haas]

Also, we're like doing it legally. So you could only shoot for 12 hours.

[Ian Hecox]

Yep. Ari broke her hand, had to go to the er.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah, that's right. I didn't break it. It was close to, but yeah.

[Ian Hecox]

You got a bone spur. Was it a bone spurs? That what they found?

[Courtney Miller]

It was. No, it was called. No, it was just a really bad confused contusion.

[Damien Haas]

That's right.

[Courtney Miller]

No, but, you know, I. I do think that the fact that it started with team building and then as soon as we did it, we're. We're like, God, it was. It's. It's always the best thing that we do all year and we get to see each other in different lights and you know, like we get to basically have a slumber party. It's. It's just whatever you guys see on videos where we're just like getting along so well. It's because we spend so much time outside of being on film, we get to actually spend time out of the office nowadays. It's a little bit different. It's. We're actually in the same place, which is great. But before, like Matt was saying, it was just like we were divorced before we ever had a chance to get married.

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah. We were just totally. We were like living in a duplex. We had no idea who the other people were, how to do it. Like, we got to know each other by rolling around on the beach or cramming ourselves into a. Like a sleep away camp bunk situation or favorite. Or the Big Bear house is actually my favorite. Big Bear House was so much fun, man.

[Damien Haas]

Yeah, I know. I missed. I missed out on a deal of that because.

[Courtney Miller]

Right. You didn't stay over.

[Damien Haas]

Yeah, I know. Because we were shooting movie. We're like in the middle of Smosh. The movie. Yeah, on the first, the first winter. And that was like. It was so dumb. Like our workaround was like, oh, yeah. Anthony and I will watch replays and comment on that because that's what people want to see. See, they want to see us react to what's happening.

[Ian Hecox]

And we'll make it look like it all happened in the same house and we'll make it look like we didn't shoot in Beverly Hills.

[Damien Haas]

Yeah, it did not. Was not shot the same place. Yeah, it was all record pre recorded. We just watched everything that you guys did and then reacted to it. It was. It was a dumb workaround to get us in there, but it got us in there, I guess. And then. Should we talk about the. The vegan caterers?

[Ian Hecox]

Oh, yeah. So I liked. I've never had an issue with the catering. You guys have bitched every single time. And it's kind of one of my.

[Damien Haas]

Biggest trips I've never complained.

[Ian Hecox]

Bull. That is a lie.

[Courtney Miller]

You literally complained about wild mushrooms.

[Ian Hecox]

You complain about mushrooms. You just bitched about the, the Wild west catering like two weeks ago. You bitched.

[Damien Haas]

Well, no, no, I just made a joke because I said the Wild west catering people were racist.

[Ian Hecox]

That's bitching. That's exactly what bitching is.

[Damien Haas]

Well, they gave more food to keep.

[Ian Hecox]

Oh my God, Ian, the words out of your mouth right now.

[Courtney Miller]

You could just ask for more food.

[Damien Haas]

And then they, and then they like, they like fat. Shamed Courtney for coming back for seconds. Well, they're like, you want seconds? Are you sure?

[Ian Hecox]

I, for the record, I have never had an issue with any of the caterers. Even the year with all the mushrooms. Had no issues. I never egg McMuffin.

[Damien Haas]

I never complained about the frickin vegan caterers. I happily, I happily ate all of that. It was not me that complained. I have, I have eaten non meat food before in my life. Some people were flipping their shit. They're like, oh God, I just need some meat. No, I just need some meat. And it's like it's been two days.

[Courtney Miller]

The thing is, it was. There was mushrooms in every single meal. That was, that became the issue.

[Damien Haas]

Yeah, it was weird.

[Courtney Miller]

But from that caterer I discovered an almond like like paste thing. Like that's kind of like hummus called bitchin sauce. And like it is the best thing. I still eat it. That's like my, my thank you to those caterers.

[Ian Hecox]

Wow, look at that. See, she got something out of it. She's not complaining.

[Damien Haas]

But the part that I, but the part that I missed on the whole bonding thing was Anthony and I had to go back a night earlier to I think at that time we were doing ghost mates. It was like a weird thing like whenever like the Winter Games happened, it was like we were working on some other sort of project. So we, we had to go back a night early. We went back with the caterers. So you guys were left to your own devices on the last meal and you guys had a meat frenzy.

[Ian Hecox]

From what I understand, it was a, it was a meat smorgasbord. We went to the Ralph's. Remember this? Yeah, yeah, we went to the Ralph's favorite memories and we just were like, we're going to cook ourselves. And it was so much fun. And we just like made steaks and put every possible meat on pizza, fried rice. We had just. The crew was cooking up Richard. One of our camps was just like in a natural cooking for everybody. It was, it was A lot of fun.

[Damien Haas]

Yeah. Yeah. You guys, you guys talked up how amazing that was and I was like, great. I'm glad. I'm glad I missed that.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah. Joven talks about this memory all the time. It's one of his favorite. Like, it is my summer or winter game memory. It was a good night.

[Ian Hecox]

That was fun. It was really fun.

[Courtney Miller]

And like, it's weird because it wasn't documented in any way. You know, it's just like it's lodged in our brains, like, of what it felt like to just kind of share food with each other and just share each other's company.

[Ian Hecox]

And yeah, we weren't on it didn't. We weren't 12 voices trying to clamor for a moment. It was just people hanging out and people breaking off into pairs and going to. Hanging out and you. And talk. You hanging out and talking to people and having like deep conversations. Until 4am, us playing quip Lash until midnight. Like, just hanging out. Like, it was just us just chilling and it was exactly what it always should have been. And I think that's what we're trying to do with this Summer games. I think that's really the goal. Like, I didn't want to do it in la. I wanted to go away somewhere. And, you know, we're staying overnight two nights, which is rad. And it's a five day, six day shoot with a break in between. But, like, it's. I'm hoping that it's exactly what it, what it should be.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah, it's that shared experience of like, everyone's hot, everyone's, you know, like miserable, but getting through it together. And that's the thing everyone pulls through. Like, everyone does their, you know, does their best every single time. And I think that's so cool.

[Damien Haas]

And I think when you suffer a little bit, those tend to be the most memorable things. Like, agree sometimes when, when you, when you suffer a little bit more, it makes, it makes the moment a little bit sweeter. Yeah. So we got, we got a pool at the hotel, right?

[Ian Hecox]

That's what I'm told.

[Damien Haas]

Dude, I'm jumping straight.

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah. I feel like I'm just made of dust at this point. I kind of just want to just sit in the pool pool just. And just pull like a matrix and just lay back and like, let the water consume me.

[Damien Haas]

You know what it's gonna look like when we jump into that pool? We're gonna look like bath bombs. Like, have you ever dropped a bath? Like all of our, all of our sunscreen and our sweat.

[Ian Hecox]

Hopefully we'll shower before we get.

[Damien Haas]

No, I'll just, I'm just bolting straight in.

[Ian Hecox]

Okay.

[Damien Haas]

I'm not even gonna dive. I'm just gonna run and I'm just gonna run this tiny fist around.

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah.

[Damien Haas]

Until I just submerged.

[Courtney Miller]

This is why I don't like public like pools of water because it's gross.

[Ian Hecox]

It's not a best Western.

[Courtney Miller]

People don't shower before they get in. I think it's very rude coming from.

[Damien Haas]

But this is the best Western.

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah. Not the mediocre Western, not the worst Western.

[Courtney Miller]

Somebody was calling it the great Western today over and over and I'm like.

[Ian Hecox]

I'm gonna guess that was Chauvin.

[Courtney Miller]

It might have been.

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah. I'm gonna guess.

[Damien Haas]

I don't know.

[Ian Hecox]

I'm gonna go out on a lark.

[Courtney Miller]

But I'm pretty sure it was the greatest western. I'm like, it's not the great. I think it's the best Western.

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah. Well, I'm excited. It's gonna be a lot of fun. We're gonna be able to hang out, enjoy ourselves.

[Damien Haas]

Why you taking your gloves off, Matt?

[Ian Hecox]

It's cuz they're leather and I'm dust hot.

[Courtney Miller]

No, I'm, I'm, I'm sweating a little bit as well. And these are like strange like half gloves. I was telling Matt earlier this is like the thong of gloves. Because it doesn't cover everything. Yes, but it's stylish.

[Damien Haas]

They're like driving gloves. They're only, only covering the, the grippy part.

[Ian Hecox]

I thought they were choking gloves, cuz this is where the neck.

[Damien Haas]

Oh, yeah, sure.

[Courtney Miller]

Oh, wait. What, what kind of choke.

[Ian Hecox]

Choking are you kind of choking are you doing.

[Damien Haas]

What kind of choking are you doing?

[Courtney Miller]

No, I'm not even doing it. I'm talking about it. What kind of choking are you talking about? Next subject.

[Damien Haas]

So Matt, you've, you've planned these smosh summer games every year.

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah.

[Damien Haas]

How was, how is this one different from. From the past years?

[Ian Hecox]

In terms of what. In terms of the content we're doing. I mean, I feel like this is definitely. We're, we're plusing up the competitions to a degree. Like, I think there are some callbacks. I mean, at this point everyone's seen the trailer, so. Everyone's seen what competitions we're doing. We've got this zombie shootout which is going to be rad.

[Damien Haas]

It's.

[Ian Hecox]

It's a mini crossbow. I feel like we probably can't go any further than that. That's the closest to an actual weapon. I feel like We've used, like, we've done, like, a shooting gallery. BB gun. We've done bow and arrow. I think we did curling. What do we do last year? Oh, punishment scuba last year. That's not a weapon this year. I mean, it is if you don't wear scuba snorkel, but this year I think we're doing. It's gonna be crossbow. It's gonna be cool. It's gonna be really ridiculous. Joven will suck a toe, maybe, or this whole bit will be lost if it doesn't happen.

[Damien Haas]

Yeah, Joven's gonna suck a toe whether or not a cam is on.

[Ian Hecox]

It's just gonna be his Instagram.

[Damien Haas]

Yeah, he's just gonna be sucking toes.

[Ian Hecox]

I think the big difference between this games and the other games is, like, just the fact that we are in complete control. You know what I mean? Like, for the first time ever, like, we don't have a company or a CCO or someone we have to, like, answer to or, like, pitch these things to. Like, it feels to me like summer one where we're just out there. Like, let's give it a shot. And, like, look, if we get all the competitions rad. If we have to shoot something back in la, cool. We'll figure it out. Like, it just feels like it's ours. Like, it's really cool. And, like, you know, at this point, the trailer would have launched at VidCon, and I'm really excited to see how that goes.

[Damien Haas]

Yeah.

[Ian Hecox]

Our goal is to try to have a complete blackout.

[Damien Haas]

Complete blackout.

[Ian Hecox]

No one knows anything until the 11th of July when we show the trailer to the world. Who knows if that's going to happen? Yeah.

[Damien Haas]

Let's hope somebody doesn't. Tom Holland it.

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah.

[Courtney Miller]

Who's our Tom Holland, Everybody?

[Ian Hecox]

We have 12 Tom Holland's.

[Damien Haas]

It depends. Like, the people slip up in different ways. I would. I would say. I feel like Joven would just let it slip in some sort of, like, livestream or something. He's like, oh, yeah, the Summer Games.

[Ian Hecox]

I'm more. I'm now nervous on set because I can control everybody. I was like, what are you doing? Like, literally, like, oh, no. What'd you do? So he not to do it?

[Damien Haas]

Yeah.

[Ian Hecox]

No. But if nobody knows it's happening.

[Courtney Miller]

But he knows.

[Ian Hecox]

Don't put that in my head. I don't know, man. He's in Italy.

[Courtney Miller]

I can't text him right now.

[Damien Haas]

But you have to say it in Italian.

[Ian Hecox]

Don't do it. Stop it. But it's. It's crazy, the fact that, like, we have this social media blackout. Like, it's kind of nuts, the fact that we're like, nobody spoil it. Nobody do it. We'll see if it happens. I'm excited to see if it goes.

[Damien Haas]

Through, because this is a month. We're about a month away.

[Ian Hecox]

Three weeks.

[Damien Haas]

Like, when we're recording this. Oh, yeah. Three weeks.

[Ian Hecox]

Three weeks.

[Damien Haas]

Yeah. So. Which is a lifetime on the Internet.

[Ian Hecox]

It is, it is. And it's. I'm more worried, like you said about go. Everybody going back home. Be like, ah, that was fun. It's like, I'm on social.

[Damien Haas]

Yeah.

[Ian Hecox]

We just shot summer games. No, that's not what I wanted. Don't do that.

[Courtney Miller]

People are gonna be like, oh, you're so tan. Where did you go?

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah.

[Damien Haas]

How are the teams picked? Because. Because. Well, look, so in. In the first years, it was. It was like dodgeball, where you just. You just sit there with the captains. The captains pick the people that are. They think are the best, and then you end up with a couple sad people at the end that people don't want to pick. Olivia and Jovan.

[Ian Hecox]

I think Jovan was picked last every.

[Damien Haas]

Year, but that's more for a bit. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Ian Hecox]

Nobody wants Olivia because they were worried that you would crush her, and then she got sucked into the butt.

[Damien Haas]

Yeah, right. No, no, no.

[Courtney Miller]

Turn.

[Damien Haas]

This is gonna make. This is gonna make no sense to people that don't know about the. That was the first summer games where Mari was pulling. So basically, like, tug of war with.

[Ian Hecox]

A giant inflatable in between. And because it was two people pulling each other, you had to try to get, like, a ball and a net.

[Damien Haas]

Yeah.

[Ian Hecox]

But there was the same bungee. And in between was just basically like a. A tube. An inflatable tube that looked kind of like a butthole.

[Damien Haas]

It was a butthole. Yeah, a giant butthole. And Mari. And I mean, at this time, like, you have been rock climbing. Like, you've been rock climbing for years. You got. You got some muscle, and Olivia is a little stick thing. And what happened was once we, you know, blew the whistle, you just immediately started dragging her, and she couldn't even fight back. And you basically just sucked her into that butthole.

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah, completely.

[Courtney Miller]

And she was in prime.

[Ian Hecox]

She went to the upside down.

[Damien Haas]

Yeah, yeah. And she stayed in that butthole for the entire game. I don't even think she ever came out.

[Ian Hecox]

No, Olivia's never been the same. Yeah, she came out different. She did, for sure. She just. Like. I saw stuff. No, that was. Yeah, it was darkness. You sucked her into the butt. It was a good time, but that was the first one. That was. That was. That was. And nobody wanted to pick Olivia because she was the smallest. And then we were right, because literally that year, she got.

[Courtney Miller]

That's how competitive we are. We're just like. We see that there's competitions up ahead, and we're like, all right, who's gonna rock this one?

[Damien Haas]

And we're also just mean because we always chose Joven last just. Just to make him.

[Courtney Miller]

Just as a joke.

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah. Yeah. And then we decide. I think year two, I think camp, we. We did the team picking, but at that point, I think Joe and I were coming up with the actual teams and told you who to pick.

[Damien Haas]

Yeah.

[Ian Hecox]

Because we wanted the balance to be right.

[Damien Haas]

Yeah.

[Ian Hecox]

And now fast forward to today. We didn't even. We didn't pick teams. We didn't do. It was. I think last year, we let it up to chance, and it was a nightmare.

[Damien Haas]

Yeah, we let it up to chance, and basically what it did was it put all the girls and Damien on one team. We're like, well, we can't do this. It's all girls, because Wes would have.

[Ian Hecox]

Just thrown you across the field. So this year, I think we. I think we balanced it out. I don't know. Do you guys feel like it's stacked? I feel like it's a little stacked.

[Courtney Miller]

On which side?

[Ian Hecox]

Your side.

[Courtney Miller]

Really?

[Damien Haas]

I don't think so.

[Ian Hecox]

You guys have a Wes and a Shane.

[Damien Haas]

Yeah, we have an Olivia, and they have.

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah, okay, but you have a Wes and a Shane.

[Damien Haas]

I mean, a Joven, but we've had.

[Courtney Miller]

A Wes Olivia combo before, and we didn't win that winter game. Winter's winter game. Okay, but. And it's because of Joven, actually. He messed up the last relay.

[Ian Hecox]

The relay on the ice.

[Courtney Miller]

We were about to win. God, we were so close to winning. Oh, and he just fumbled so bad.

[Damien Haas]

Was I on that team? I think.

[Courtney Miller]

I can't remember if you were on.

[Damien Haas]

No, no, no.

[Ian Hecox]

It was Anthony. That was Anthony on the winning team. Yeah, that was Anthony. Yeah.

[Damien Haas]

Because I was like, well, they won. And then Joven just had to be.

[Ian Hecox]

An idiot in terms of, like. I think we actually. We. We managed to not do as many physical competitions this year, so I'm not as worried. There's a lot of, like, mental stuff. We have Netflix and Chill. We've got Smosh, Family Feud. There's a couple different things that I think is going to balance it.

[Courtney Miller]

Well, because we didn't have paintball and a Wes on Our team.

[Damien Haas]

Yeah, that's. Well, that's definitely where. That's definitely where we're going to shine for sure. I think what we do is, is we do similar to what the other team did in Smash Summer Games Camp. When we did dodgeball, we're like, okay, Wes is the guy we aim for and kill first.

[Ian Hecox]

That's true.

[Damien Haas]

And the other team knew that. So then what, what the other team did was they put Wes far in the back so that Wes couldn't be hit. And we got demolished.

[Ian Hecox]

Well, I mean, if you want. I mean we could talk Strat. If you put Wes. If Wes goes out there, there's gonna be three people that are seeking and three people that are defending. In paintball, if you put Wes out there and he gets taken out right away, he's off the field.

[Damien Haas]

That's one thing. We put Wes far and away. We have Wes run in the opposite direction. So the team all tries to chase Wes.

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah.

[Damien Haas]

And then the rest of us sneak in there shooting up that base. I've already been thinking Strat clearly.

[Ian Hecox]

I can see this.

[Courtney Miller]

Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Toxicity it is.

[Joven Jones]

[Ian Hecox]

I mean Wes is obviously he's great at belly flop. Like let's be honest.

[Damien Haas]

Oh, that's.

[Ian Hecox]

When it comes to. When it comes to puns and it comes to jokes and bits, Wes, he's in a league of his own.

[Damien Haas]

I didn't think about that. Cuz we're doing the belly flop. Well, that means Mari like cuz I think. Oh, cuz last year I. I tried to push you in.

[Courtney Miller]

Oh yeah. And then I got a perfect.

[Damien Haas]

Yeah, they just gave you that perfect.

[Courtney Miller]

That was. I deserve that perfect. You know, you crushed me and then you got minused on your team.

[Ian Hecox]

But I'll tell you, if you do a goddamn orca joke again, I'm going to give you a zero.

[Damien Haas]

I might have brought the orcas.

[Ian Hecox]

Oh no, it's later in the week.

[Courtney Miller]

He's giving you A tip right now. If you don't listen to him, I'm gonna be so mad at you.

[Damien Haas]

I. Look, I wanted to wear the orcas again. Dude, it's.

[Ian Hecox]

We're not doing the west wrap joke. You gotta kill. Just put that on the shelf. Put the orca joke on the shelf.

[Damien Haas]

Well, I bought a different pair of swim trunks that fit the team theme color. So.

[Courtney Miller]

Green orcas.

[Damien Haas]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Ian Hecox]

Oh, no.

[Damien Haas]

But then I realized, like I said, look, like, they weren't cheap swim trunks, but they were perfect for what I needed them for. And then I realized, like, I'm gonna be jumping into a red dyed pool.

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah. So purple. We don't know because we haven't shot it.

[Damien Haas]

Yeah. So I probably just. I'm probably gonna ruin these trunks. And I'm like, it's fine.

[Ian Hecox]

Everybody's gonna ruin everything.

[Courtney Miller]

Oh, I don't have a bathing suit.

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah, you do.

[Courtney Miller]

I do.

[Ian Hecox]

I thought you did. I don't know.

[Courtney Miller]

Nope.

[Ian Hecox]

Okay, great.

[Courtney Miller]

I'm recondo'd. So I'm really like. I don't have a lot of clothes right now. You have a week, so I gotta get.

[Damien Haas]

I feel like you use that excuse for everything. Like, I feel like three times today you've been like, I'm a recondo'd. So.

[Ian Hecox]

So Pete's gone.

[Damien Haas]

I'm Marie Kondo'd. So I no longer have my big toe. Don't worry. But don't worry, it'll grow back.

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm lizard person.

[Courtney Miller]

I gotta spark that joy.

[Ian Hecox]

We'll get a bathing suit. Cuz it's important. It's part of the whole thing.

[Courtney Miller]

Maybe I'll just wear these high thigh shorts.

[Ian Hecox]

No, this is too. No.

[Damien Haas]

And also, we need to reprise the ass picture.

[Courtney Miller]

Oh, yeah, we need a new ass.

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah.

[Courtney Miller]

We missed her.

[Damien Haas]

We missed it last year.

[Ian Hecox]

I forget that we rented out a water park.

[Damien Haas]

Yeah.

[Ian Hecox]

I forget about that on a regular basis. Yeah, we rented out Six Flags. Yeah, we shut it down. That's what I was talking about. I was like, I don't like to throw around. Like, we spend so much money. We shut down Six Flags West. No Campus on the way back. Because it was right after the big successful camp and everyone's like, let's go all out. And we were like, all right, let's run down a water park, I guess.

[Damien Haas]

Well, also that we didn't necessarily shut it down. They hadn't opened it up yet.

[Ian Hecox]

Right. So they opened up like four rides for us. Three rides, something like that.

[Damien Haas]

Yeah. The reason why I say that is because it was at the beginning of the season. They hadn't opened it up yet, so they also haven't really tested the rides yet. That slide we went down, that drops you straight down. Basically, you're in this chamber, and we did this trivia thing. It was really cool where if you got the trivia wrong, you get dropped. So you're in this chamber, and then floor just drops out from under you. You drop down. One of the slides just opens up to this open air slide that drops you, like, what, eight stories?

[Ian Hecox]

Something ridiculous just straight down. It gave me anxiety just being up there. I didn't do it, and I wouldn't do it.

[Damien Haas]

No, me neither. Yeah, I was like, no, I'm doing the other one. The other one was an enclosed tube that just, like, did a bunch of spirals and all these zippy doos or whatever you want to call them, and then. And then you land safely at the bottom. However, I think because we were there before it was really tested out, they didn't get the water quite right. Did you go down that one?

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah, that's the one that. It shot a lot of water up my butt.

[Ian Hecox]

It was the enema ride.

[Damien Haas]

Yeah, it was the enema ride.

[Courtney Miller]

Everyone got water up their butt way there.

[Damien Haas]

But. But it was in. It was in three different stages on this. On this slide. Because in the first third, there's very little water.

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah.

[Damien Haas]

Like rubbing on the slide. Little water. And then two thirds of the way through, a lot of water, and you're literally drowning. Like, I could not breathe. There was water all over me. And then the last third, again, not much water. And there was one bend that I think most people that went down it. It shaved skin off of their elbow. And it took a long time. I think I still have the mark on my elbow.

[Courtney Miller]

That's not it. That's makeup.

[Ian Hecox]

Nope.

[Courtney Miller]

Don't be scared right now.

[Ian Hecox]

Four years ago.

[Damien Haas]

No, but. But really, though, like, it took the skin off of our elbows. Like, multiple people had the same exact.

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah, but you had fun.

[Courtney Miller]

I just remember my. My. My bathing suit bottom being, like, off, like, at the end of it. And I hadn't. I was like, ah. And I remember there was somebody on camera. I think it was sped. And I was like, don't look.

[Damien Haas]

And he's like, zoo.

[Ian Hecox]

Probably. That was year two, because year one was the. The Baywatch slow mo incident.

[Courtney Miller]

Oh, my gosh. That was another. My junk was out.

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah. We had to put Sohinky's head over her crotch because it was too well.

[Damien Haas]

And we had to blur out your nipples, too.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah, yeah. Somebody in the editing room did that.

[Damien Haas]

I believe that was Liam Kyle, soldier of In.

[Courtney Miller]

Oh, my goodness.

[Ian Hecox]

Yes. Yes.

[Damien Haas]

That was back.

[Ian Hecox]

Cuz then he quit.

[Damien Haas]

This is the crazy. Yeah, he definitely quit. He's like, I've had to edit out her V and her nips for 15 hours.

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah, it was a lot. It was a lot.

[Damien Haas]

Don't worry. I took over in the last 20 hours.

[Courtney Miller]

Oh, great.

[Ian Hecox]

Saved it to a personal drive. It was fine.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah, that. That was. It wasn't. You know, the. The bathing suit was very thin.

[Damien Haas]

Yeah.

[Courtney Miller]

And I don't know where they came from, but all of us women, we wore them.

[Damien Haas]

Oh, that's right, because they were supplied to you guys because it was a Baywatch scene, huh? Yeah.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah. So they were just handed to us, and then my dumb brain was like, oh, this doesn't fit right. But you know what? Let's do a split in the air.

[Damien Haas]

Yeah.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah. I jumped up. I did it all. I just exposed it all.

[Damien Haas]

Yeah.

[Ian Hecox]

To a bunch of children on the beach.

[Damien Haas]

Bunch of children. How dare you.

[Courtney Miller]

They all quit their jobs, too, but.

[Damien Haas]

Also backing it up. Liam Kyle Sullivan was. Was an editor for our second channel and games. Or just second. The guy that made shoes, if you guys remember, like, the old school Internet. The guy that did. Shit. Oh, my God.

[Ian Hecox]

Shiz. Sh.

[Damien Haas]

And then also cupcakes. And then all those awesome.

[Ian Hecox]

But shoes was what he was known for.

[Damien Haas]

It blew my mind, though. Like, when I came in, I was like, holy shit, that's Liam Kyle Sullivan.

[Ian Hecox]

And he's blurred out Mari's vag.

[Damien Haas]

Cool.

[Ian Hecox]

All right, well, time is a flat circle, I guess, but that was cool.

[Damien Haas]

He edited for us.

[Ian Hecox]

No, it was great. He was actually a really solid editor. I really liked his style. It was really good. But yeah, no bathing suits that are too thin this year. You get your own bathing suit now. I don't want to hear it.

[Courtney Miller]

We're big girls now. We pick our own.

[Ian Hecox]

Pick your own clothes. I don't need to buy you clothes anymore. But it's gonna be fun.

[Courtney Miller]

I love that this year it's finally, like, back in, like, our hands. And it's so, like, punk rock and it's so rock and roll and, like, I feel like our outfits, like, match that. And I love that. It's very. I don't know. It's symbolic.

[Damien Haas]

I mean, on. On the plus side, like, because it. It literally is over 100 degrees outside and there's zero shade. It's all sun. We're up in kind of high. I mean, is this high altitude?

[Ian Hecox]

Not really.

[Damien Haas]

No. All right. Well, it's a lot of sun and dry.

[Ian Hecox]

It's dry heat and.

[Damien Haas]

Yeah. We're just getting so gross. So it actually totally works out that this is our theme because the grimier you look, the more you look. True.

[Ian Hecox]

It's true. Like, you can get completely sunburned. Be like, nice, Good job. You're really committed.

[Damien Haas]

Yeah. It's like you got.

[Courtney Miller]

Your makeup starts to run a little bit. It's like, oh, you look like you've been working on a car.

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah. Yeah. Everyone looks badass. Yeah. No, it's a good look. We definitely couldn't do, like, White Party in the Sun. Like, it wouldn't work that way. Like, it couldn't be like, everyone's just shiny and bright. Everyone's having a good day. It's like. No. Yeah, exactly. No, it can't be that. I was like. I mean, like, it's. It's interesting because apocalypse is. Is where we went. Because it's also a little apropos because the smosh world ended last year. Our world ended to a degree. And this is our post apocalypse.

[Courtney Miller]

So much symbolism.

[Damien Haas]

See?

[Ian Hecox]

Yes. And it's. It's cool. I just don't know. Where the hell do we go from here?

[Damien Haas]

I mean. Well, I mean, we always pitched doing like a tropical games.

[Ian Hecox]

Tell you what, if you are. If you work for a cruise line or your parents work for a cruise line, hit me up. Or if you.

[Damien Haas]

If you work for an airline and hotel company that. That works in Hawaii, preferably Kauai.

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah.

[Damien Haas]

Or I'll settle for Maui, but definitely not the big island. I would love to go in there.

[Ian Hecox]

I would love to do an island games or even a cruise. Games. We talked about cruise because cruise is perfect because it's a hotel on the water, so it's like everything that we need. I'd love to do something like that. I think that it would totally hit everything that we want to do. It's not going to be too hot. It's going to be great. We can turn it into a thing.

[Damien Haas]

And at least two people will get seasick.

[Ian Hecox]

Exactly. Yeah. And then they get to go home and we watch. We have a sad video of them on a boat going back to shore to the Incredible Hulk theme. Yeah.

[Damien Haas]

And only five people get norovirus.

[Ian Hecox]

Noro.

[Damien Haas]

Norovirus.

[Ian Hecox]

Nora.

[Damien Haas]

It's a foodborne illness.

[Courtney Miller]

Oh, you got to wash your hands all the time.

[Ian Hecox]

Everybody wash your hands. Everybody wash your hands. Yeah. I think that's that's where I want to go next, if we can get it. Because it's expensive. We always talk about tropical games. That's an expensive trip.

[Damien Haas]

It is very expensive. So if you're McDonald's out there and you got some money to throw at us, and you also got connects in Hawaii, preferably Kauai or Maui.

[Ian Hecox]

I mean, we're not particular. If it's anywhere in Hawaii, I don't care.

[Damien Haas]

I mean, if you're talking, like, North Shore, Oahu, I'll settle for that as well.

[Ian Hecox]

Dude, don't. Beggars and choosers, man. Come on. Let's just go.

[Damien Haas]

I'm begging and choosing.

[Ian Hecox]

Oh, God. This is how it doesn't happen. You'd be like, dude, we got it. We got a free trip to Hawaii. Like, but what part?

[Damien Haas]

I'll settle for Bora Bora.

[Courtney Miller]

Oh, my goodness.

[Damien Haas]

I mean, I could do Tahiti, I guess.

[Courtney Miller]

Only if you're helicoptered in. Make sure that.

[Damien Haas]

Not Bali. Not Bali.

[Courtney Miller]

Doors on the helicopter as you want an adventure.

[Ian Hecox]

We talked about Catalina. We talked about doing Catalina, and then we ended up getting to do the Assassin's Creed thing in Catalina, which was kind of like. It was a mini trip. Yeah, it was fun.

[Damien Haas]

Yeah.

[Ian Hecox]

I feel like Catalina would work.

[Damien Haas]

Catalina isn't tropical, though. It's just Los Angeles in a. In a. In an island.

[Courtney Miller]

Looks like a cruise port, though. Like, everyone is just, like, transported to I don't know where. Like, everyone thinks that they're, like, in Jamaica or something.

[Ian Hecox]

We could pick a. We could do competitions there. Like, kiss a buffalo.

[Courtney Miller]

We could see the buffalo.

[Damien Haas]

So that's. That's the crazy thing. So. So Catalina island is an island off of, like, Los Angeles, and there's buffalo on the island. They didn't get there just by, like, nature for some reason. Courtney just ran in here.

[Ian Hecox]

I'm looking for a fanny pack.

[Damien Haas]

She's looking for a fanny pack.

[Ian Hecox]

Oh, hi, Courtney.

[Damien Haas]

Hi, Courtney.

[Ian Hecox]

Are you done?

[Courtney Miller]

Yep.

[Damien Haas]

She, like, ran in here. How was it? Did anyone die?

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah. Oh, no. We'll find out.

[Damien Haas]

Deadpool. Who do you think? Who do you think died?

[Ian Hecox]

Damien.

[Damien Haas]

Yeah.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah, yeah.

[Damien Haas]

He was looking pretty rough.

[Ian Hecox]

In the apocalypse, we all know Damien's the first to die. Like, right?

[Damien Haas]

Like, yeah, right. Unless he, like, bore somebody to death with his complaining.

[Ian Hecox]

Harsh. I was going more in a sense that I feel like he probably couldn't fight an undead army, but. Yeah, no, sure. You want to really just drag him?

[Damien Haas]

I think Olivia would die first, to be honest, because she's.

[Ian Hecox]

She's a survivor. Man, she's gonna lock herself up in her car.

[Damien Haas]

Nope. Because. Because she just. She was just complaining to me. She's going to New York for a thing for two weeks, and she's like, I don't know how I'm gonna. I don't. I've never gone that long without eating Chinese food.

[Courtney Miller]

There's Chinese food in New York?

[Ian Hecox]

Our favorite Chinese places in New York.

[Damien Haas]

No, no, no. You. You realize that there's other places other than New York City. That's in New York. You realize it's like a whole ass state.

[Ian Hecox]

What?

[Courtney Miller]

Oh, where's she going?

[Damien Haas]

I mean, I don't know if I'm supposed to say.

[Ian Hecox]

Is it like one of the boroughs?

[Courtney Miller]

Like there's.

[Damien Haas]

I think. Yeah, I think she's going. She's going, like, into the mountains.

[Ian Hecox]

New York is kind of famous for Chinese food. All of New York State, like, Queens.

[Damien Haas]

You can go. You can go to Albany and get a nice.

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah.

[Damien Haas]

Dish of.

[Ian Hecox]

Yes.

[Damien Haas]

Kung Pao chicken.

[Ian Hecox]

You've pulled that. But yes.

[Damien Haas]

I was gonna say orange, but that's not. It's not real.

[Courtney Miller]

That's like American Chinese food.

[Damien Haas]

I mean, Kung Pao chicken, probably. That's not.

[Ian Hecox]

She'll have a great time.

[Damien Haas]

Tofu. There you go.

[Ian Hecox]

She couldn't survive the apocalypse because there's no Chinese food. I feel like if anything's gonna survive, it's gonna be, like, food from a Chinese food.

[Damien Haas]

She said she literally can't. She. She. She doesn't know if she's gonna be able to survive without eating Chinese food for that long.

[Courtney Miller]

But you know what? She is gonna survive. And then she's gonna be like, oh, my gosh, if I can survive this, I can survive the apocalypse.

[Ian Hecox]

Yes. This is gonna be her awakening.

[Damien Haas]

It's true. Yeah. I feel like she would be the one to go psycho. Like, go completely psycho in an apocalypse and, like, start, like, eating people's scalps.

[Courtney Miller]

I feel like that's her character. She's kind of frightening.

[Damien Haas]

Yeah, she just. She just really needs that sort of thing to just, like. She's, like, teetering on the edge of sanity.

[Ian Hecox]

Olivia, she's like a bad day away from being a Ringu girl. Yeah.

[Damien Haas]

She just needs somebody just, like, just push her over that. That tip and she'd go right into crazy town.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah. I. I think if you see the trailer, like, everyone either looks, like, badass or, like, oh, like, that person's gonna mess you up. And then you see Olivia and you're like, oh, that's like. Like, Annabelle Scary.

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah.

[Courtney Miller]

We don't want. We don't want that.

[Damien Haas]

Yeah. She was going for a JoJo Siwa look.

[Courtney Miller]

Oh.

[Damien Haas]

Which I thought she nailed.

[Courtney Miller]

Sorry.

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah, No, I was like, yeah, I don't see it, but cool.

[Courtney Miller]

Scary.

[Ian Hecox]

It's scary. Jojo see. What's JoJo see when the apocalypse. Which is actually a really great concept within itself. But, no, I'm a fan. I'm a fan.

[Damien Haas]

I'm looking at the VHS on this.

[Ian Hecox]

This is a really cool, like, old production house. Like, they've got old VHS's. Kevin here was watching Mrs. Doubtfire and VHS when we came in. We got the whole. We got the whole group.

[Damien Haas]

Are the homeowners here?

[Ian Hecox]

No, they died in this house.

[Damien Haas]

Are they. Are the homeowners in this house? They died in the house. Okay, cool. Because I was gonna say this.

[Courtney Miller]

Wait, two people said it now?

[Damien Haas]

I just wanted to make sure that they weren't in the house. Because I'm saying this house is a little messy.

[Ian Hecox]

Are you saying messy in a cute way?

[Damien Haas]

No.

[Ian Hecox]

Oh, okay.

[Damien Haas]

No, it's very.

[Courtney Miller]

It's very messy.

[Damien Haas]

It's very.

[Ian Hecox]

I like how messy it is here. It's super messy. Like, are you all of a sudden cute? Like, what the hell just happened? How do you. How's a house methy.

[Damien Haas]

There's just a. There's a vibe. You know? What.

[Courtney Miller]

What's.

[Damien Haas]

There's a certain. There's a certain malaise.

[Ian Hecox]

Is this, like, the caterers are racist moment again? Are you just on a. Are you on a hill that you're about to die on?

[Damien Haas]

The caterers were racist.

[Ian Hecox]

They were not racist.

[Damien Haas]

They were racist.

[Ian Hecox]

Wrong.

[Damien Haas]

I'm making. All right, I'm making a little bit of a goof. They weren't. They weren't racist, but they did.

[Ian Hecox]

Careful.

[Damien Haas]

Consistently give more food to Keith and Post.

[Ian Hecox]

Maybe they were nicer to them.

[Damien Haas]

No, I was nice as to them. All right.

[Ian Hecox]

I don't.

[Courtney Miller]

I was so nice. I feel like you were already giving off these vibes and it was already.

[Ian Hecox]

A Wild west type of an area, and you already had that cowboy hat. Maybe you're just giving off a racist look.

[Damien Haas]

Scary.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah, maybe you were given a black hat.

[Ian Hecox]

Oh, that could have been it. You chose the wrong one. Yeah, dumb.

[Courtney Miller]

Anyway, see, now you don't get your cornbread.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Step into the world of power, loyalty, and luck.

[Al Pacino]

[Ryan Seacrest]

No purchase necessary. VGW Group void. We're prohibited by law. 21 plus, terms and conditions apply.

[Ian Hecox]

We're going into the catering this time. Almost every year, I've had the caterers come into a taste test, which is my favorite part of summer game.

[Courtney Miller]

You didn't have one this year?

[Ian Hecox]

No. No, I didn't.

[Damien Haas]

Do we have caterers or we just, like.

[Ian Hecox]

No, we have caterers. We already did lunch, which was sandwiches, so whatever.

[Damien Haas]

Sandwich.

[Ian Hecox]

But we're doing dinner tonight and tomorrow night. I have no idea. I think it's. It's, like, Mexican one night and barbecue the other. I'm excited because that's rad. I think it's two different catering companies.

[Damien Haas]

Yeah, they. They brought quite a spread today because they brought chips and salsa and fruit.

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah.

[Damien Haas]

And sandwiches. And the juices from all of those things were leaking into the other things that I had on my plate. So I had, like, salsa, pineapples, and pineapple sandwiches.

[Ian Hecox]

You just opened up a new Fusion restaurant, man.

[Damien Haas]

I'm not into it. Not into it.

[Ian Hecox]

It's just trash. Fusion. It's like. Do you like watermelon and salsa and dried chips and sandwiches of turkey? Come on in.

[Courtney Miller]

Sandwiches of turkey.

[Damien Haas]

Do you like. Do you like mustard? Melon? That's where we put mustard all over. A cantaloupe. Cantaloupe. Some melon, right?

[Ian Hecox]

Sure.

[Damien Haas]

All right.

[Ian Hecox]

If you want to be.

[Courtney Miller]

You need one of those, like, kid plates that separate things.

[Damien Haas]

I know. I need to be treated like a child as much as possible.

[Ian Hecox]

We've done it for 10 years. We're getting there.

[Damien Haas]

Good.

[Ian Hecox]

No, I'm excited. I think it's gonna be good food. I haven't tried anything out, so people might get sick. We found people out here.

[Damien Haas]

Yeah.

[Ian Hecox]

So that's also exciting.

[Damien Haas]

We're out in the middle of the desert.

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah, middle of nowhere.

[Damien Haas]

We are in the middle of nowhere. There's cell reception spotty. If one of us dies, it's. It's. Or. Or is at risk of dying. It's very unlikely we'll be able to call emergency services.

[Courtney Miller]

Services.

[Ian Hecox]

No, there's a Hospital within 30 minutes. I had made sure that we checked. I don't know if it's a regular hospital or an animal hospital, but it.

[Courtney Miller]

Is a hospital hospital.

[Ian Hecox]

It says hospital, so that counts.

[Damien Haas]

They have one of those backwoods hospitals where they're just like, I gotta cut. And they just bring out the bone saw.

[Ian Hecox]

You're gonna lose it.

[Damien Haas]

Take it out. Take it off of the shoulder.

[Ian Hecox]

It's. I'm excited. It's. It's really rad. Everything looks cool. Tomorrow I'll probably hate my life because it'll be the busiest day. I think we have tomorrow. Yeah, Tomorrow we've got Netflix and no Netflix until at the end of that day. Tomorrow is punishment. Punishment zombie shootouts, which will be exciting. That's using live ammunition, which is cool.

[Damien Haas]

I'm gonna try to do my no look with a Dude. No.

[Courtney Miller]

No. Dude. Crossbows are like actual, like, weapons.

[Ian Hecox]

And, like, the bolts are sharp.

[Courtney Miller]

In California, you can go to an archery range or like a place that's sells archery stuff. They won't let you use the crossbow to try it out. You have to physically, like, bring it home to buy it, and then you can come back.

[Ian Hecox]

It could pierce a human skull.

[Damien Haas]

You know what I realized way back in the day on an Ian is board, we did a. We did a video where we went to a shooting range with, like real life handguns. And I don't really remember. None of us had ever shot guns before or. No, maybe I had shot maybe once or twice and then our friend Rass had maybe shot once or twice. But I don't think they really checked to make sure we knew what we were doing.

[Courtney Miller]

And we just like, oh, Sacramento.

[Damien Haas]

We just like took the camera into the shooting range and we were just shooting guns. And there was like one part where our friend, like, she shot for the first time and then she was like, really excited and she turned back to us with the gun with their fingers still on the trigger. And I didn't even realize that until later on. I think all the comments were like, you know, going crazy. I was like, jesus. So it can't be that irresponsible.

[Ian Hecox]

No, but I don't think that's a very good measuring state. No, it's a terrible measure. We're not pointing live guns at each other. It's like, okay, but still don't do it.

[Damien Haas]

Well, are there gonna be people running out around in the floor firing?

[Ian Hecox]

What if you're like, no looking, and the bolt gets loose and you turn. It ricochets and hit somebody in the face?

[Damien Haas]

See, you're just. You're just being cr. You're just talking crazy nonsense.

[Ian Hecox]

I have to worry about this?

[Damien Haas]

Yeah. For insurance purposes.

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah. I have to worry about this.

[Damien Haas]

You want the record?

[Ian Hecox]

Anyway, we're shooting that and then I believe we're doing red light, Deadlight green light, which is our zombie. Red light, green light.

[Damien Haas]

You know what's so weird about that was like four of us. When we are. When. When we were all pitching ideas, there was like four of us that had a red light, green light idea that was interesting. And you kind of took it and mashed it all together.

[Ian Hecox]

I just put everything together. I was like, we're gonna do music and zombies and it's. Everyone's out there, so it'll be fun. We'll have a good time with it. Deadlight greenlit is rad. And then smosh. Family Feud, which Sarah's very excited about. Cause she gets to watch you guys talk shit about each other.

[Damien Haas]

I hear there's gonna be some tea.

[Ian Hecox]

Spilt spilled in the tea. So. Yeah, if you guys want to throw your friends under the bus, get the.

[Courtney Miller]

Points we're great at doing.

[Damien Haas]

Oh man, I'm scared because I don't know. Yeah, man. I don't know what you guys have planned for that.

[Ian Hecox]

I mean, it's, it's, it's going to be questions like who's the hottest? Who's the most responsible? Who would die first? Stuff like that. Yeah. And you got to see who your team will vote for. So you got to know your team really well.

[Damien Haas]

Okay. Hottest temperature wise.

[Ian Hecox]

Nope.

[Damien Haas]

Okay. Because I was going to say Damien, cuz he was in. He was already sweating and hot in the van ride. 2. Two summer games and he's a warm boy.

[Ian Hecox]

That's why I got the blue hair to cool off. Yeah, he thinks it's a psychological thing. Doesn't work.

[Damien Haas]

Yeah, doesn't work.

[Ian Hecox]

Doesn't work.

[Courtney Miller]

Sub zero powers go. What's the most physically challenging?

[Ian Hecox]

Like probably catch your meal.

[Courtney Miller]

Catch your meal.

[Ian Hecox]

Catch your meal. Yeah, yeah. Catch your meal.

[Courtney Miller]

Where we dinner every night.

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah, every night. You got to go out and try to catch one of them jackrabbit rabbits in the desert. No, I think we're gonna, we're gonna be launching, I think the way. So Brittany, our graphic designer was the one that pitched this one and I really liked it. So we ran with it. She just kept going, slippery snakes. I was like, okay, okay. But like, what is it? She's like, slippery snakes. You throw slippery snakes.

[Damien Haas]

I was like, Brittany, our graphic designer is, is the, is the master of pitches.

[Ian Hecox]

She is. She's really good at pitches.

[Damien Haas]

Really good and bad. Yeah, well, no, she tosses out in insanity all the time.

[Ian Hecox]

After working with all you guys, like, it's my job to Take that and filter it into a way where I was like, okay, we could actually do something with this. Like, that's what those pitch meetings are. I'm never gonna get a fully baked idea. Like, no one's gonna come to the tables. Like, here it is. Four of you are gonna come with half of an idea and I have to kind of merge it into one. No, but it's basically, we take rubber snakes and rubber reptiles and stuffed animals and we dunk them in, I guess, baby oil or some kind of grease lube maybe. Lube. Lube is not as slippery as baby as we've learned in previous years. And then we're going to launch it with a catapult and you guys have to run and catch it. It's kind of like last year's water balloon.

[Damien Haas]

We got to figure out a way to break Lasercorn's face again.

[Courtney Miller]

That's right.

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah.

[Courtney Miller]

It was an epic moment. He got a trophy for it.

[Damien Haas]

And he earned it.

[Ian Hecox]

He did earn it.

[Damien Haas]

He earned it with his face.

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah. Yeah. So I'm excited. That'll be a lot of fun. Yeah. And we always forget about the awards too. It's always one of those things we always forget, like, oh, yeah, that's right. We do.

[Courtney Miller]

I love the trophies every year. They're so cool.

[Damien Haas]

Yeah. We kind of remembered last second Y. Literally last second. Cuz we were. Matt and I were driving to the WWE event.

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah.

[Damien Haas]

And we were talking about the. The belly flop. And he was like, yeah, then we're going to do awards right after that. Oh.

[Ian Hecox]

And I'm like calling Garrett and I'm calling Sarah. I was like, we come up with awards.

[Damien Haas]

Yeah.

[Ian Hecox]

No, but it worked out. It actually we came up with some really good ones. It's going to look very apocalyptic. Our. Our art designer was like, I love this idea. I'm into it. So she's running with it.

[Damien Haas]

Hell yeah.

[Ian Hecox]

It's going to be cool. I'm excited.

[Damien Haas]

I want my. I want my most epic award from Smash Summer Games Camp. I never got it.

[Ian Hecox]

It was. All of them have sat on my desk for the last six years.

[Damien Haas]

I didn't see it there.

[Ian Hecox]

I don't know where they went. When one defy went under, I feel like we all. We took them.

[Damien Haas]

People might have just taken them or burned them or pissed on them. That's what happened with everything at the Defy office when it closed down and either got stolen, broken, or pissed on.

[Courtney Miller]

Here is my dream that, like five years down the line, we watch an episode of Storage Wars. And somebody wins like a mysterious storage. And they open it up and they get it for like $500. And it's all of our junk in there.

[Damien Haas]

Yeah.

[Courtney Miller]

And it's just everything is costumes from like seven years ago. It's like, like you wouldn't even know.

[Ian Hecox]

If it was ours or not.

[Courtney Miller]

It would contain our trophy.

[Ian Hecox]

Fine. That's fair.

[Damien Haas]

It's like 52 Blizzard shirts.

[Ian Hecox]

Yes. No, it'd be the Harambe the Snow Rhombe shirts that nobody wanted. Yeah.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah. That is my dream. Please, someone hitting the table.

[Ian Hecox]

Table.

[Courtney Miller]

I just want to know that. It's very intense.

[Ian Hecox]

She's passionate, man.

[Courtney Miller]

True.

[Ian Hecox]

She's passionate.

[Courtney Miller]

Storage Wars. Smosh.

[Damien Haas]

So I guess. I guess, you know, we're coming up on our time. Do you have any. Do you have any predictions? Any. Any sort of predictions? What's. What's gonna happen?

[Ian Hecox]

Real life predictions or in game predictions?

[Courtney Miller]

Lottery ticket.

[Ian Hecox]

Oh, 7:34. No, don't tell everybody.

[Damien Haas]

That was our secret.

[Ian Hecox]

Sorry. Sorry.

[Damien Haas]

Smosh Summer games predictions. Any smosh Summer games predictions. What. What team do you think is. Is going to take. Take home the bacon, you guys. So you think it's. You think it's going to be toxicity?

[Ian Hecox]

You guys are stacked. I feel like you've got Wes in the. The paintball. You've got physical. Two physical games if you count zombie dead. Red light. Dead like green light. And then he's going to just hopefully, hopefully redeem himself in belly flop. Probably not, though.

[Damien Haas]

Probably not.

[Ian Hecox]

He kind of knows at this point. I just hope we. We've buried the west ra. I don't know. We're never going to do that.

[Damien Haas]

We're not going to mention the west rap this time.

[Ian Hecox]

This is the only time I ever want to mention it.

[Damien Haas]

I feel like we're going to. We're all going to be there at the belly flop going.

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah. Nobody says.

[Courtney Miller]

My hope always is that he practices for an entire year on just some epic thing. He just drops bars.

[Damien Haas]

You know, he like every morning he wakes up, he looks in the mirror and he practices.

[Courtney Miller]

It'd be so cool if he just like, just was just getting private lessons.

[Ian Hecox]

Oh, my God.

[Damien Haas]

Throws down some heavy bars.

[Ian Hecox]

Well, that would insinuate that we, like did some psychological damage, which I hope isn't the case.

[Damien Haas]

We absolutely did. Are you kidding me?

[Ian Hecox]

It's fine. It's all in fair. Fun times.

[Damien Haas]

We just railed into them on. On the Wild Wild west and.

[Ian Hecox]

No. And last year. Last year we railed last year rough. We brought it up like six or seven times.

[Damien Haas]

In maybe in one episode.

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah, in one episode.

[Courtney Miller]

We should do like a redemption, like, song and music video.

[Damien Haas]

Well, he better. Well, he better freaking bring it because he's on our team. He better bring it.

[Ian Hecox]

He'll bring it.

[Damien Haas]

I feel like, yeah, we got. We got some strong players. But then I feel like our strong players also have severe weaknesses like Wes and his belly flopping.

[Ian Hecox]

Name a Shane. Weakness.

[Damien Haas]

Well, okay. His heart.

[Ian Hecox]

Okay.

[Courtney Miller]

How's. How's Shane with movies?

[Ian Hecox]

He's actually pretty good.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah, we're stacked.

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah, you're stacked. It's unfair.

[Damien Haas]

But we got Olivia.

[Ian Hecox]

You got Olivia, and she might have.

[Damien Haas]

A cool moment, and her strength is her heart.

[Ian Hecox]

I feel like Olivia's got an epic moment or MVP probably more than we.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah, that's true. She's got an mvp.

[Damien Haas]

She's got two. Yeah, yeah. Actually, she's kind of a. Okay.

[Courtney Miller]

Yeah, we're stacked, man.

[Damien Haas]

But we can't go in with this mentality, Mari.

[Courtney Miller]

That's true. That's true.

[Damien Haas]

Because that's how they're gonna wreck us. We gotta. We gotta keep believing where they're right.

[Courtney Miller]

Stay humble.

[Damien Haas]

Even though we're gonna crush.

[Ian Hecox]

Who do you think is gonna get the. The two side trophies? Who do you think is gonna get biggest fail? Most epic moment?

[Damien Haas]

Biggest fail will likely go to last year. It went to Damien, right?

[Ian Hecox]

Yes.

[Damien Haas]

On the balls.

[Ian Hecox]

Yes. Doing Mario.

[Courtney Miller]

Oh, I have a prediction. I think it's gonna be Keith, and I think he's gonna mess up. Deadlight, green light. I think he's just not gonna cheat.

[Damien Haas]

Keith is gonna cheat.

[Courtney Miller]

She's either gonna cheat and then fail miserably or he's just going to make so much noise and he won't know, like, the rules or something.

[Damien Haas]

I think biggest fail comes from the people that try too hard.

[Ian Hecox]

Yes.

[Damien Haas]

They try too hard, and in that trying too hard, they fail. That doesn't strike me as a Keith thing.

[Ian Hecox]

My theory. So lasercorn's got this streak thing going.

[Damien Haas]

Yeah.

[Ian Hecox]

I have a feeling that. Because he really wants to keep it going, I think he's going to go a little try hardy, and I think he's going to up. Yeah, I think he's gonna do something wrong. Yeah.

[Damien Haas]

Yeah, he might. He. He's got in his head that he is unbeatable.

[Ian Hecox]

I don't think that's true. I need to check the wiki.

[Damien Haas]

Yeah, I don't think that's true.

[Courtney Miller]

I think it is true because I think we made it a thing last year because Wes has never won and Lasercorn has won every single one. Also living for his crop top.

[Ian Hecox]

Oh, my God. Yeah, let's hope that sticks. But he's gonna get a burn across his tummy after day two and be like, maybe I just wear a full jean.

[Courtney Miller]

It's gotta stick because he wants to have the streak on his belly, and.

[Ian Hecox]

Instead he's just gonna have a streak across his belly.

[Damien Haas]

Oh, is that what it says on his belly? Says the streak.

[Ian Hecox]

I thought it was the steak.

[Damien Haas]

Yeah, you know what?

[Courtney Miller]

I'm the one drawing it every day. So I'll write the steak one day.

[Ian Hecox]

On the last day. Just put the stick.

[Damien Haas]

Please, please.

[Ian Hecox]

Just like an R with an arrow. Be like. Oh, I forgot, sorry.

[Damien Haas]

Yes.

[Courtney Miller]

Look for the steak. One of one of the. And one of the episodes.

[Damien Haas]

Welcome to 107.9 the Steak.

[Ian Hecox]

So he's my theory for biggest.

[Damien Haas]

Okay, so then most epic moment or most valuable? Yeah, epic moment. Who do you think is going to take home an epic moment?

[Ian Hecox]

My dream of dreams is because Kimmy is new and she's kind of an underdog. We have zero expectations. I have no expectations. She told me when I asked her if she wanted to do this, she's like, I never got to go to summer camp. I'm super competitive. I've always wanted to do something like this. And I'm like. That to me is like. Well, I'm like, okay. And I like, calm. Like, okay, you're gonna do great. But, like, realistically, bar is very low, so she might crush it.

[Courtney Miller]

Oh, that would be awesome.

[Ian Hecox]

Because I hope she doesn't get biggest fail because that's. That's a sad time. If you like. If you like guest appearance and a thing. And they're like, everyone's like, you suck so bad. We gave you a trophy. Like, that's shitty. But I think that she'll have a good time. I think she'll. She may surprise us.

[Damien Haas]

I didn't know she was hyper competitive. This should be interesting. We might see. We might see the evil side of Kimmy.

[Ian Hecox]

You might.

[Damien Haas]

Because she's. She's a very happy, bubbly person. Yeah. To see the other side, that'll be a treat.

[Courtney Miller]

I want Ian to get epic moment for actually nailing the no look.

[Ian Hecox]

We said he's not doing the no look.

[Courtney Miller]

He's gonna do it.

[Damien Haas]

I'm gonna shoot a PA with you.

[Ian Hecox]

Are you are. You're gonna shoot Austin in the head and be like, well, that was the last time we ever did summer games.

[Damien Haas]

I mean, I'll. I'll aim for a non vital Orc Morgan. How about that?

[Ian Hecox]

You're not aiming. You're blindfolded.

[Damien Haas]

No, but I'm really aiming. I'm that good. Matt.

[Ian Hecox]

Oh, my God.

[Courtney Miller]

Wait, we're blindfolded.

[Ian Hecox]

No, he wants to do the no look.

[Courtney Miller]

Oh, yeah. He's not blindfolded. He's just looking at the camera like, you know, like. Yeah, I need to watch.

Yeah, yeah.
