Welcome everyone to a very special Smosh cast. This was an idea that our writer Ryan Finnerty had to make a murder mystery radio play. We were originally going to do it for Halloween, but we ran out of time. So we thought, why not do a spooky murder mystery Christmas themed radio play? So essentially what a radio play is is it's like watching a television show, but it's just audio. If you guys like it, then we'll do more. So we brought in the whole cast for this episode. We had a great time. I don't want to spoil anything. There's lots of spooks though. It's spooky. And after you listen to this, we're going to have like a little after show where we talk about it. I also highly recommend after you guys listen to this, you watch the video that comes out on Friday on the Smoshcast YouTube channel. Because hearing it's one thing and seeing our coworkers Garrett and Jackie do all the sound effects is. It's something to behold. So I'm gonna shut up now and enjoy the smoshcast holiday murder mystery.

Twas the week before Christmas and in the Smosh office boardroom, the cast feels the holiday cheer. But there's more. A feeling of doom. Ian, Keith, Olivia, Courtney and Shane wait for the arrival of their friends, chatting and completely unaware that this may be the end. See, there's a chill in the air. But there's murder in the forecast. So the real chill is up ahead in this special episode of the smoshcast.
Olivia Sui
We should really clean up this office before winter break.
Tim
I'm not cleaning up the prop table. All those doll sized props creep me out.
Shane Topp
Really, Shane? I think they're cute.
Courtney Miller
Keith, where's Noah? I thought he gave you a ride.
Keith Leak Jr.
He's parking. He drops me off first because I complain if I have to walk too far.
Narrator
Noah enters, out of breath and takes a seat.
Noah Grossman
Hey, guys.
Keith Leak Jr.
Noah.
Courtney Miller
Noah.
Tim
It's Noah.
Narrator
Noah slides his chair out and plops into his seat.
Noah Grossman
Sorry I'm late. I forgot the code to the parking gate, so I had to park down the street between the abandoned mental hospital and the old balloon factory under the.
Tim
Bridge that echoes with the sound of children's laughter.
Olivia Sui
Where the psycho murderer's shackles were found after he escaped from prison.
Noah Grossman
Yep.
Courtney Miller
Okay, so we're just waiting on Damian now.
Shane Topp
Noah, are you wearing a wallet chain?
Noah Grossman
Yeah, it's just like my new thing.
Keith Leak Jr.
Told him it looks dumb, but he won't take it off.
Narrator
Olivia lies.
Shane Topp
It doesn't look dumb.
Narrator
Noah doesn't notice.
Noah Grossman
Thank you, Olivia.
Narrator
Damian hurriedly rushes in. He looks disheveled, like he hasn't slept in days. His friends hesitantly greet him.
Courtney Miller
Hey, Damien.
Tim
Damien, hey.
Damien Haas
I'm so sorry I'm late. I had to take the bus because my car broke down and I spent my last paycheck on a bad hopscotch. Bet my ringer, Aiden sprained his ankle playing freeze in the off season. Anyway, are we ready to start?
Courtney Miller
Yeah. Welcome to a very special episode of the smoshcast. We're coming to you from the Smosh Office holiday party. I'm here with Shane, Courtney, Olivia, Keith, Damian, and Noah.
Olivia Sui
Yay.
Courtney Miller
Christmas, as we all know. But maybe the listeners don't. The Smosh Office is haunted. And with that in mind, I'd like to make you all an offer. Whoever can spend the entire night in the haunted office with me gets the split. $100,000.
Keith Leak Jr.
Are you serious?
Courtney Miller
100,000%.
Noah Grossman
Wait, is this episode for the holidays or Halloween?
Courtney Miller
No, it's December.
Noah Grossman
Right.
Courtney Miller
So the holidays.
Noah Grossman
Okay, then why are we suddenly talking about the office being haunted?
Shane Topp
Yeah, ghosts and Christmas don't really go together.
Tim
Oh, what about the Charles Dickens classic A Christma Christmas Carol starring Scrooge McDuck?
Courtney Miller
Look, can you gu. Can you guys just please stop questioning the haunting? I'm going for a very specific vibe here, and you're messing it up.
Olivia Sui
And what vibe is that?
Courtney Miller
Spooky Christmas.
Noah Grossman
That's not a thing.
Courtney Miller
Okay, well, now the vibe is money. Okay. Remember the money?
Damien Haas
I do. I could really use $100,000.
Tim
Well, we'd all split it.
Damien Haas
In that case, I think everyone should consider leaving so I can have all the money.
Olivia Sui
Don't you think that's a little selfish?
Keith Leak Jr.
Yeah, you don't deserve the money any more than the rest of us. Just because you made the decision to.
Noah Grossman
Lose everything gambling, we're all gonna split the money evenly.
Courtney Miller
Well, I wouldn't count that money yet. I mean, you'd have to make it through the night first. A lot of mysterious and scary things have happened in this office, things that I can tell you about as I have experienced them firsthand.
Keith Leak Jr.
I feel like you're trying to get us to ask you what happened.
Courtney Miller
Great question, Keith. Well, one night I was working really hard on an important. Everyone else had left for the day. I was at my desk when.
Olivia Sui
When what?
Courtney Miller
Oh, sorry. I was expecting to go into a flashback.
Olivia Sui
Flashback sound.
Courtney Miller
Yeah, there it is. Dear Tony the Tiger, I am a big fan of your cereal and your message. Would you love to collab? Maybe. What was that? Hello? Anyone out there?
Olivia Sui
The flashback's over.
Courtney Miller
I was too scared to leave my office, so I slept in there.
Noah Grossman
I bet it was aliens.
Tim
I bet it was nothing.
Damien Haas
I bet my entire life savings and most of my possessions on a series of children's schoolyard games.
Courtney Miller
While that is very concerning, this isn't about you, Damien. This is about the ghosts in the office and my very generous offer of $100,000 to those of you who are brave enough to spend the night among the ghosts.
Olivia Sui
This is so cool. It's like a murder mystery radio play. We're in an abandoned theater in the 1920s.
Courtney Miller
No, we're not in an abandoned movie theater, and this isn't a murder mystery radio play. It's just a group of people making an audio recording of their chilling experience in a haunted location overnight, during which some may perish under unknown circumstances.
Shane Topp
I'm not staying here all night. I'm gonna go.
Olivia Sui
Are you sure?
Damien Haas
She's sure.
Courtney Miller
Wait. Why? Don't you want to see what mysteries await you?
Shane Topp
No, I don't do mysteries, surprises, or conundrums. I need to be able to plan ahead. Bye, guys.
Keith Leak Jr.
Bye, Lib.
Tim
Lip.
Noah Grossman
I'll walk you out.
Narrator
We follow Noah and Olivia out of the boardroom into the parking lot.
Noah Grossman
I don't blame you for leaving. I'm a little scared, too.
Shane Topp
I'm not scared. I have to catch a flight to Spain.
Courtney Miller
Oh, cool.
Noah Grossman
What, are you going to Spain for dinner? Are you going to have paella?
Shane Topp
I don't know.
Noah Grossman
I love paella.
Shane Topp
Okay.
Narrator
Olivia gets into her car, and Noah lingers, watching her drive away with images of paella dancing in his head. And as he turns to go inside, Noah hits a snag when his wallet chain gets caught on the gate.
Courtney Miller
Oh, no.
Noah Grossman
My chain.
Narrator
The gate begins to close, inching closer and closer to Noah as he struggles to free himself.
Tim
Come on, come on, come on.
Noah Grossman
Okay, what's the gate code? What's the gate code? It's definitely four numbers, right? Oh, maybe it's six numbers. Oh, no.
Courtney Miller
Oh, no, no.
Tim
Ow.
Narrator
Unfortunately for Noah, his screams cannot be heard by his friends back in the boardroom, who are getting into the holiday season.
Tim
We should get cozy and watch a Christmas movie or something.
Olivia Sui
That sounds so fun. It'll be like a slumber party.
Courtney Miller
No, it's not a fun slumber party. It's a harrowing night of survival.
Keith Leak Jr.
Hey, shouldn't Noah be back by now?
Damien Haas
Keith, buddy, don't worry about Noah. I'm sure he's alive.
Keith Leak Jr.
Why wouldn't he be alive?
Damien Haas
That's what I'm saying. Hey, we should go get a snack in the kitchen and get your mind off your late friend.
Keith Leak Jr.
No, I'm good.
Olivia Sui
Weirdo.
Damien Haas
Aw, come on, I'm hungry.
Keith Leak Jr.
Let's go get a snack, Damien. No, I said I'm good.
Damien Haas
Uh, you're good with having a snack, so you're gonna come with me.
Keith Leak Jr.
No, I'm good now. Like, I don't need to go with you because I'm already good.
Damien Haas
Oh, you have to admit, that's a pretty confusing phrase. So you can see how I could misinterpret that to mean you'd like to come with me. Maybe next time you should say, no, thank you.
Keith Leak Jr.
No, I'm good.
Tim
I'll go with you.
Damien Haas
No, thank you. I'll stay here with Keith.
Tim
But you said you were hungry.
Damien Haas
Yes, I guess I did say that. Let's go, Shane.
Narrator
Shane leads the way to the kitchen as Damian reluctantly joins him, looking back at Keith with an indiscernible expression. The door closes, leaving Keith, Courtney, and Ian alone in the boardroom.
Keith Leak Jr.
That was weird, right?
Olivia Sui
Yeah. Damien seems really aggressive tonight.
Keith Leak Jr.
And where the hell is Noah? I'm gonna go look for him out.
Courtney Miller
There all alone in this haunted office where Noah disappeared. And Damian, a desperate man with nothing left to lose, sees you as an obstacle between him and $100,000.
Keith Leak Jr.
Uh, no. I guess I'll just call Him.
Noah Grossman
Hi, you've reached the Church of Noah Grossman. A real church that meets the minimum requirements for tax exempt status. If you are the irs, please do not leave a message as it is against the teachings of the Church of Noah Grossman to speak to the agents of any government entity. Thank you and God bless you. Or whatever we believe.
Keith Leak Jr.
Okay, I'm getting really worried now.
Olivia Sui
Don't turn this into Noah Gate. He probably just ran into the boys in the kitchen.
Courtney Miller
Or the ghosts got him.
Olivia Sui
The ghosts did not get anyone.
Courtney Miller
Sure they did. Why do you think Shane screams all the time?
Olivia Sui
That's just his personality. He has low self esteem and needs to be loud so people acknowledge that he's there.
Courtney Miller
The ghosts.
Olivia Sui
That sounds like it came from the kitchen. We should check on them.
Courtney Miller
I'm so comfy here and I'm not.
Keith Leak Jr.
Gonna walk into Damien's weird trap.
Olivia Sui
Do you think it's a trap door? Like in an abandoned theater?
Keith Leak Jr.
Oh, shit. Could be.
Courtney Miller
No, it's not. This isn't an abandoned theater.
Olivia Sui
Isn't it though?
Courtney Miller
No.
Olivia Sui
Fine. I'm gonna go check on the boys while you two scaredy cats hide in here.
Keith Leak Jr.
I'm not a scaredy cat.
Courtney Miller
Yeah, and cats are badass anyway. They're basically living weapons with sharp claws and no empathy.
Olivia Sui
Sorry, I don't understand. Cat.
Narrator
With Keith and Ian firmly planted in their seats, Courtney walks into the kitchen to find Shane out of breath, standing over Damien's body.
Olivia Sui
Shane, what happened?
Tim
We were eating cookies and Damien attacked me. I had to use my big muscles to take him down.
Courtney Miller
Flashback.
Olivia Sui
Another flashback.
Tim
Man, I sure do love cookies.
Damien Haas
Yeah, me too. Hey, can you check if there are more in the cabinet?
Tim
Sure.
Narrator
Shane hops onto the countertop and reaches into the cabinet, searching for something to satisfy his friend's hunger.
Tim
I don't see any.
Damien Haas
Maybe in the back.
Tim
Hmm. Still not finding anything.
Damien Haas
Keep looking.
Narrator
Shane continues his quest for cookies, unaware that his best friend has finally ginger snapped.
Damien Haas
I'm so sorry, Shane.
Narrator
Damian winds up and lunges at Shane. Their bodies make contact and they scuffle.
Courtney Miller
Dude.
Keith Leak Jr.
What?
Courtney Miller
It just die? No.
Olivia Sui
And a flashback. Wow. Good thing you have such big muscles.
Tim
I know, right? Good job, big boys.
Olivia Sui
What was that?
Tim
Nothing. Love you, big boys.
Olivia Sui
Are you talking to your muscles?
Tim
No, not at all. We have to be discreet. Anyway, I checked. He's still alive, just unconscious.
Olivia Sui
I can't believe he really tried to hurt you for money. We should carry him back to the boardroom so we can keep an eye on him when he wakes up.
Tim
Good idea. I got him.
Olivia Sui
Are you sure you don't need help?
Tim
No, I got these big boys here.
Olivia Sui
Let me at least get his feet.
Tim
Why do you love his feet so much?
Olivia Sui
Why do you have to act like you're such a macho asshole? Let me help.
Tim
No, I got it.
Narrator
Shane continues his struggle until suddenly, the lights go out. Shane and Courtney fumble to find their phones. When they turn their flashlights on, they find that Damian's gone.
Tim
I must have thrown him into the next room when the lights went out. Bad boys. Did you hear that?
Olivia Sui
Yeah. What was it?
Tim
I don't care. Let's go to the boardroom.
Olivia Sui
It's empty.
Narrator
Or is it?
Courtney Miller
Hello?
Keith Leak Jr.
Who's there?
Tim
It's Shane and Courtney.
Narrator
Keith slowly emerges from under the table.
Olivia Sui
Why are you hiding? Where's Ian?
Keith Leak Jr.
Ian went to go fix the lights, and my phone died while I was trying to call Noah again, so I don't have a flashlight, and I got scared.
Tim
Okay, well, we'll stay here with you while I call for help.
Olivia Sui
Damian attacked Shane, then ran away.
Tim
Wow. Way to gloss over how I beat him into submission and carried his body across the office.
Keith Leak Jr.
I knew there was something going on with him. Oh, does anyone of you have a phone charger I can borrow?
Olivia Sui
Keith, there's no power, Right?
Noah Grossman
So how can you guys.
Tim
I don't have service or WI fi.
Olivia Sui
I'll call for help. Wait. I don't either.
Narrator
Suddenly, the door to the boardroom begins to shake.
Keith Leak Jr.
Who's there?
Narrator
The door flies open to reveal Tim from it.
Olivia Sui
Tim from it?
Courtney Miller
Yeah. Sorry I pulled the door instead of pushing. I just wanted to let you guys know that the WiFi's down for maintenance. Thanks.
Tim
Tim from IT.
Keith Leak Jr.
Why is Tim working on the Wi Fi at night when the power's out?
Tim
He's just a really hard worker.
Olivia Sui
Yeah, Tim's the best.
Tim
You mean Tim's the vest?
Olivia Sui
Yeah.
Narrator
In case you missed the joke, Tim always wears a vest. Keith does not appreciate Shane's excellent pun.
Tim
Push.
Shane Topp
Hey, guys.
Tim
Olivia.
Shane Topp
Yeah?
Narrator
When the lights from Shane and Courtney's phones hit Olivia, they see that she is covered in cuts and bruises, and they wonder what happened.
Olivia Sui
You're covered in cuts and bruises. What happened?
Shane Topp
When I was leaving, my car ran into a pole and knocked down a power line.
Tim
You knocked down a power line?
Shane Topp
My car knocked down a power line, then a cell tower. I figured I'd just wait here and order an Uber.
Olivia Sui
Maybe the office really is haunted.
Keith Leak Jr.
Or Damien did something to Olivia's car.
Courtney Miller
Help. Help me.
Shane Topp
Is that Ian? Where is he?
Keith Leak Jr.
Not here. Which is where we're staying.
Courtney Miller
Please, somebody help me.
Tim
We should really go.
Keith Leak Jr.
No, Damien is still out there. This could be another trap.
Olivia Sui
Plus, Ian didn't want to go after you, so why would you want to help him?
Tim
Oh, I didn't know that.
Damien Haas
Please, I'm so sorry for all my.
Courtney Miller
Past, and please help me.
Tim
I don't accept his apology, but my heart is my biggest muscle, so let's go.
Keith Leak Jr.
Fine. But if Damien is out there, y'all gotta tell him to kill you first.
Tim
Deal.
Narrator
As Keith, Olivia, Courtney, and Shane carefully make their way through the office, Olivia's eyes wander to the props table.
Shane Topp
Oh, my God. This neck pillow is so cute. It'll be perfect for my flight to Spain.
Tim
Olivia, that's for a doll.
Shane Topp
Are you saying I'm not a doll?
Tim
Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying.
Shane Topp
Wow. Shane.
Keith Leak Jr.
Yeah, wow.
Tim
Wow what? How am I the bad guy for saying Olivia's not a doll?
Shane Topp
Shane, I get that you're going through a lot because your best friend is a psycho murderer, so I'm just gonna pretend you didn't say that.
Narrator
Olivia puts on the neck pillow, modeling it for her friends.
Courtney Miller
Mm.
Shane Topp
How does it look?
Keith Leak Jr.
So cute.
Tim
Small. It looks small and doll like.
Narrator
Olivia starts choking.
Olivia Sui
I can't. I can't get it off.
Narrator
Her friends try to help her take the neck pillow off, but it's too tight. Guys, I'm back.
Tim
I told you it was too small.
Olivia Sui
Really, Shane, now is not the time for I told you so's.
Tim
Wow.
Keith Leak Jr.
Wow. Wow.
Olivia Sui
Olivia, wake up.
Narrator
Olivia wouldn't wake up. Her life took an early departure.
Olivia Sui
Did you guys hear that?
Keith Leak Jr.
Hear what?
Olivia Sui
It was a really bad pun.
Narrator
Kourtney is being unnecessarily mean to the narrator, who is just trying to. Trying to have a good time.
Olivia Sui
Well, maybe the narrator shouldn't be trying to have a good time when our friends are dying.
Narrator
All right, Courtney follows her own advice and turns her attention away from the very cool and funny narrator and back to her dead friend.
Olivia Sui
She's. She's dead. Oh, my God.
Tim
Olivia, we don't have time to mourn right now. We gotta get Ian and get out of here.
Keith Leak Jr.
You're being pretty cold about this.
Olivia Sui
Yeah, and now that I think of it, no one actually saw Damien attack you. Maybe you attacked him.
Tim
Guys, you're being paranoid. I'm sad about Olivia too. And with Damien, I was just defending myself. Let's just go to Ian.
Keith Leak Jr.
Why is it more important to go to Ian, who is probably dead now, than to stay here with Olivia?
Tim
We don't know that Ian is dead. Shouldn't we save the people who are still alive rather than sit here and stare at a dead body?
Olivia Sui
I mean, Ian is the one who brought us here and made us stay all night, so I kind of don't mind if he dies.
Keith Leak Jr.
In fact, I'm down to go kill him if he's still alive.
Olivia Sui
Good idea. You and Shane.
Tim
Guys, that's crazy. Ian is our friend. We gotta help him.
Keith Leak Jr.
When's the last time Ian did something nice for you?
Tim
Ian is our boss. We gotta help him.
Olivia Sui
Look, I disagree, but we might as well go and see if he's alive.
Tim
Fine.
Narrator
The group of three continue their journey through the office, shooting Shane's suspicious glances.
Keith Leak Jr.
Can't believe how long we've been walking. This office is huge.
Olivia Sui
I know. I need water. My mouth gets dry when I'm scared of imminent death.
Tim
Let's hit the water cooler.
Olivia Sui
It's empty, of course.
Tim
Oh, there's a new jug right there. I'll replace it.
Olivia Sui
Don't worry about it.
Tim
No, I. I got this.
Keith Leak Jr.
Here, let me help you.
Tim
No, I got it.
Narrator
Shane falls to the floor under the weight of the water jug. The water pours out and Shane begins to drown.
Olivia Sui
Shane.
Keith Leak Jr.
Oh, we have to help him.
Olivia Sui
Well, hang on. If we save him, we could be saving him. And he seemed really eager to save Ian. Maybe they're working together, but we don't know that.
Keith Leak Jr.
And he's also our friend.
Olivia Sui
Is he? What's the last time Shane did something nice for you?
Keith Leak Jr.
Never. But I've never done anything nice for him either. That's how we operate.
Olivia Sui
So can you really call him a friend?
Narrator
While Courtney and Keith continue to contend, their companion croaks, meeting a watery end.
Keith Leak Jr.
He's dead.
Olivia Sui
Yeah. So should we go?
Keith Leak Jr.
Yeah, let's go.
Olivia Sui
No more stopping. Okay? We get to Ian, then we get out of here.
Keith Leak Jr.
You got it.
Narrator
Little does Courtney know, she's entering her final act. That's both a callback to Courtney's idea about the abandoned theater and also foreshadowing the way that she dies. Spoiler alert. Narrating is harder than it seems.
Olivia Sui
Keith, I have to tell you something. I did something bad, so please don't judge me. I'm the one who.
Keith Leak Jr.
What the. Is that? A sandbag on a rope that fell from the rafters.
Narrator
Like in an abandoned theater tragedy.
Keith Leak Jr.
This is so fucked up. I'm out of here.
Narrator
Keith runs to the attic crawlspace until he finds a body splayed out in front of it. Damien, a figure, naked from the waist down, emerges from the Shadows.
Keith Leak Jr.
Hello?
Courtney Miller
Keith Ian?
Keith Leak Jr.
What's going on here? What happened to Damian? Where are your pants?
Courtney Miller
I was in the crawlspace checking the fuses when I heard footsteps approaching.
Olivia Sui
Another flashback.
Courtney Miller
Hello? Who's there?
Narrator
As the footsteps get closer, Ian struggles to turn to see who approaches.
Courtney Miller
I'm stuck. Hello? Who's there? Oh gosh. Someone help me.
Olivia Sui
Help.
Courtney Miller
Help me. Ooo, that was a good flashback. So I had to take my pants off to shimmy out of the crawl space. And when I got out, Damien's body was on the floor.
Keith Leak Jr.
You can put your pants on now, though.
Courtney Miller
I know what happened to everyone else.
Keith Leak Jr.
They're all dead.
Courtney Miller
But you're still alive. Weird.
Keith Leak Jr.
Why is that weird? Because the black guy always dies first. Oh, yeah, that's in horror movies. This is a murder mystery radio play. And that format doesn't know what to do with the black guy.
Courtney Miller
Makes sense. Anyway, I hate to do this, but I'm gonna have to kill you now.
Keith Leak Jr.
What?
Courtney Miller
Yeah, I offered everyone money to spend the night here because I'm lonely. But when everyone accepted, I realized that I. I don't have $100,000. So I had to kill everyone.
Keith Leak Jr.
You don't have to kill me. I don't need the money.
Courtney Miller
Oh, really wish you would have told me that before I confessed to murdering a bunch of people. So how should we do this? I could push you downstairs, or I could toss you into a vat of acid.
Keith Leak Jr.
Where did you get a vat of acid?
Courtney Miller
I bought it on Facebook. Marketplace. But focus, Keith. Push or toss.
Noah Grossman
You're not pushing or tossing Keith anywhere.
Keith Leak Jr.
Noah.
Courtney Miller
Noah.
Keith Leak Jr.
You're back.
Noah Grossman
Yeah, my chain got stuck on the gate and I couldn't remember the code to stop it from closing. But then I tried 11:11 and it worked. Yeah, I didn't have to take my chain off.
Keith Leak Jr.
Damn it. You were supposed to take the chain off.
Noah Grossman
What?
Keith Leak Jr.
I. I thought that the gate would force you to take the chain off.
Noah Grossman
You knew I was out there. I could have died.
Keith Leak Jr.
Shit happens.
Noah Grossman
I get it. I mean, I killed Olivia when I walked her out. I just wanted to make sure she didn't come back and get the money, so I cut her brake lines.
Keith Leak Jr.
Oh, yo, that didn't kill her. She died because she thinks she's the same size as a doll.
Shane Topp
I am Olivia. Yeah, I faked my own death when I figured out that I wasn't the only one trying to kill people.
Courtney Miller
Oh, shit.
Noah Grossman
You tried to kill people too?
Keith Leak Jr.
Nice.
Noah Grossman
Oh, sorry I tried to kill you, by the way.
Shane Topp
Well, the joke's on you because I never even tried to use my breaks. I hit the power line on purpose because I wanted to be dark when I snuck back in to kill Damian. Because all this talk about being broken made me really uncomfortable.
Damien Haas
Oh, man. I'm sorry, Olivia.
Noah Grossman
Damian, did you just come back from the dead to apologize?
Damien Haas
I wasn't dead. I have panic attacks, then I pass out when I'm scared. That's what happened in the kitchen. I knew I could take Keith in hand to hand combat, but I was afraid of fighting Shane.
Keith Leak Jr.
Honestly, that hurts more than knowing you wanted to kill me.
Shane Topp
Okay, well, Damien, I accept your apology. And now that we're good, I should warn you not to touch the stray cat I put in your office. It will definitely attack you.
Damien Haas
Aw, little kitty.
Courtney Miller
Ca.
Keith Leak Jr.
Oh, I'm gonna pet her so good.
Courtney Miller
What is that?
Shane Topp
It's coming from the stairs.
Tim
It's me.
Shane Topp
Courtney.
Olivia Sui
Yeah. Hang on. Oh, you're all here.
Keith Leak Jr.
I'm sorry I left you. I thought you were dead also. Why do you still have that sandbag?
Olivia Sui
I wasn't dead. I faked it. Why isn't anyone gasping? I faked my death.
Courtney Miller
Yeah, so did Olivia and Damien.
Damien Haas
Not on purpose.
Olivia Sui
Oh, man. Got it. I thought I'd be the only one. I was really excited about the abandoned theater idea I had, so I thought it'd be cool if I got crushed by a falling sandbag. I also set up a series of trapdoors, but no one used them. But I did kill Shane.
Shane Topp
Aw, that's great.
Olivia Sui
Thanks. I saw how weak he was when he tried to carry Damien, so I took the water jug off the water cooler, knowing he couldn't resist putting it back on. Did. Did I do a good job?
Courtney Miller
You did a great job, Court.
Tim
Yeah, great job, Courtney. Great job of lying. If I can't lift the water jug, there's no way you can.
Olivia Sui
It wasn't that heavy. I think you're just really weak.
Courtney Miller
Sure, he's a weak ass bitch.
Tim
Oh, yeah. Would a weak ass bitch be able to lift up this sandbag? Fuck.
Narrator
Shane's inability to lift the sandbag is incredibly sad to watch. Thankfully, he gives up.
Tim
Wow.
Damien Haas
If I'd known you were this week, I wouldn't have been so scared to fight you that I passed out.
Tim
What? You didn't pass out. I fought you and I won. Then I sealed your fate by putting a peanut in your mouth. You all may not know this, but Damien here is deathly allergic to peanuts.
Olivia Sui
Oh.
Damien Haas
I've been wondering why I had this peanut in my mouth, and I'm not Allergic. I love peanuts.
Tim
Oh, damn. Which one of you is allergic to peanuts? Then?
Damien Haas
We established that.
Tim
Well, I guess my mind is as weak as my arms.
Shane Topp
Oh, Shane.
Noah Grossman
What a silly time we've all had. Trying to kill each other over nothing, huh?
Tim
Undoubtedly. Although, Damian, I think you should seek help for your gambling addiction.
Damien Haas
Oh, Shane.
Keith Leak Jr.
Ian, you said you tried to kill everyone. But we all just tried to kill each other.
Courtney Miller
Well, I tried to poison all of you, but no one drank the coffee from the Keurig.
Olivia Sui
Ew.
Shane Topp
Why would we drink Keurig coffee?
Courtney Miller
Of course. How could I forget? We only drink my favorite coffee. Available@myfavoritecoffee.com.
Damien Haas
Never heard of that.
Courtney Miller
Hey, guys. Tim from IT hey, the Wi Fi should work once the power comes back. Is there a. Is there a loose peanut up there? I'm deathly allergic.
Tim
Yes. Oh, nice. It's Tim. Tim's allergic to peanuts.
Courtney Miller
Here, drink this coffee.
Narrator
Tim falls to the floor and through Courtney's trapdoor and lands on Olivia's feral cat, Ian.
Olivia Sui
Was that the poison coffee?
Courtney Miller
Yeah. I'm so bad.
Tim
Oh, man, that was awesome.
Narrator
The group stays up all night regaling each other with stories from their adventures and laughing about Tim's untimely demise. The friends prove that their friendship can outlast anything, Even attempted murder. Merry Christmas to all. And to all a good fright.
Olivia Sui
Oh, my God. Can you stop it with the garbage puns?
Narrator
Okay, I was literally right about to stop.
Olivia Sui
Okay, then stop.
Narrator
Okay, I'm stopping.
Olivia Sui
Wow, it doesn't sound like you're stopping right now.
Narrator

Olivia Sui
Held that in the whole time.
Courtney Miller
Yeah, it's true. There were no burps that ever Interrupted the thing. That's pretty impressive. It's almost like you don't have to burp.
Keith Leak Jr.
Oh.
Olivia Sui
It's all. It's all a facade.
Courtney Miller
Wow. Big props to Monica for writing.
Keith Leak Jr.
Yes.
Narrator
Thanks, guys.
Olivia Sui
And props to our Foley gang, Jackie.
Damien Haas
And say props to the Foley gang.
Courtney Miller
They dress like that every day.
Tim
You know, if they went and did that exact routine at lacma, people would be like, wow, who are these incredible artists?
Olivia Sui
Are you saying they're not incredible artists?
Tim
Sadly, they kick you out if you try this.
Olivia Sui
Aw.
Damien Haas
Also, another shout out to Tim, who is clearly the best actor.
Tim
We have the best death.
Courtney Miller
Oh, shucks.
Noah Grossman
Tim, was that your first recorded death?
Courtney Miller
I think so. I think that's my first recorded death.
Noah Grossman
I swear to God. That sounded like Joffrey dying. You were spot on with the death.
Courtney Miller
The trick is to actually cough.
Noah Grossman
The trick is to actually die.
Tim
Tim, you are a dungeon master for Dungeons and Dragons. Do you do those sound effects when you're doing that?
Courtney Miller
Sometimes. Generally. Generally, no. I'm not actually a good dm.
Tim
I don't believe that for a second.
Courtney Miller
What's the coolest D and D sound you can make? Probably just, like, demon voices.
Shane Topp
Do it.
Courtney Miller
Do it.
Tim
Well, you're doing a demon voice now.
Courtney Miller
Okay. All right.
Keith Leak Jr.
The demon voice is here.
Narrator
Oh, my God.
Courtney Miller
That's pretty good. That's about.
Olivia Sui
Oh, my goodness.
Tim
Holy crap. My demon voice is more like.
Shane Topp
Sam, I want to try. Can I try?
Olivia Sui
Try Olivia's demon voice.
Tim
Oh.
Damien Haas
Oh, demon.
Courtney Miller
I'm a demon.
Narrator
I'm going to eat your bones.
Olivia Sui
I thought you were saying, I'm going to eat your bun.
Courtney Miller
No, that's just normal.
Olivia Sui
Oh, no, no, no.
Damien Haas
If a demon ate your butt, that would suck. How you gonna sit down?
Olivia Sui
It's 2019. Demons eat butts now, guys, how would.
Damien Haas
Your torso connect to your legs if you ain't got no butt? That's the problem.
Courtney Miller
I don't know. I listened to the, like, the Bones Connecting song. I don't know you call it. And I'm pretty sure they don't say remix to Ignition because your butt is.
Damien Haas
All made of cartilage. That's not a bone.
Shane Topp
Your butt's made out of cake.
Olivia Sui
Oh, God.
Keith Leak Jr.
Cake farts.
Narrator
Oh, my God. Thank you, Olivia.
Courtney Miller
Have you guys seen cake farts?
Tim
I've got just a wagon hitched to my torso.
Noah Grossman
Guys, do you think that we should do another one of these for, like, a different holiday?
Tim
Yeah.
Olivia Sui
Ooh, a spooky one. Like, this was spooky also, but, like, no.
Narrator
Taken Courtney.
Courtney Miller
Ooh, what if we did spooky. President's Day.
Keith Leak Jr.
This is the thing. I'm down to do it whenever. Because growing up, this is something that me and my mom used to listen to, like all the time. Really not smart cast, but the stories on the radio, it's like a, you know, a big part of my childhood.
Courtney Miller
Did you grow up in the 50s?
Keith Leak Jr.
No, but like in Ohio, the middle of nowhere. So like. I mean, like, it's. My mom enjoyed that, but they had like. Okay, this was the thing growing up, my sister. My. My sister and I, we didn't appreciate it. But like, now that I'm an adult, I'm like, damn, like, this reminds me of my childhood, so.
Shane Topp
Oh, that's cute.
Courtney Miller
What kind of. What kind of things were they? Were they like murder mysteries or what?
Keith Leak Jr.
It was like all types of stuff. She would go to the Christian one sometimes and then it'll be the other. You'd like the mystery. She didn't matter.
Narrator
Can you tell me more about the Christian ones?
Keith Leak Jr.
I mean, it was like really weird. It was like a lot of like, backstabbing in school situations. Yeah, it was weird.
Shane Topp
Wait, wait, wait.
Olivia Sui
Like drama?
Tim
Like Judas?
Keith Leak Jr.
Yeah, like, pretty much. They were like, pretty. They honestly.
Damien Haas
This is the thing.
Keith Leak Jr.
They would honestly like, pull from, like. But they would pull from Bible like stories and make them like, you know, up to date.
Narrator
Oh, like Bible High school Bible Bible.
Olivia Sui
And now back to Bible High.
Tim
That guy. The whole freshman class.
Shane Topp
I thought murder mystery podcasts were a new thing. No, I didn't know this has been around.
Olivia Sui
Well, no, I mean, they had radio plays on the radio before we had television.
Shane Topp
Guys, I had no idea what a radio play was. You know what I thought this whole thing was today.
Keith Leak Jr.
What?
Shane Topp
Okay, now I feel stupid.
Damien Haas
No, I thought you gotta do it.
Narrator
You gotta say it.
Shane Topp
I'm so embarrassed.
Olivia Sui
Well, you didn't get emailed the script until this morning.
Courtney Miller
I know.
Shane Topp
And I didn't even think about to Google what radio play meant. I thought like, we were answering calls.
Noah Grossman
That would be a dog too.
Olivia Sui
Oh, my God, we have like a.
Shane Topp
I thought we were answering calls from people who needed advice.
Tim
Oh, I thought radio play was the guy who's married to.
Olivia Sui
That's Radiohead.
Keith Leak Jr.
Get out of here.
Courtney Miller
No, it's cold.
Damien Haas
Coldplay.
Olivia Sui
I know, I know.
Noah Grossman
I think they broke up, Shane. I think they're no longer married.
Damien Haas
Coldplay is definitely still making music.
Keith Leak Jr.
No.
Olivia Sui
Oh, Chris Martiner. I wonder what like a spooky Valentine's Day radio play would be. Oh, it's gotta be like.
Noah Grossman
That's My birthday. Valentine's Day is my birthday. No other holiday, it'd be a spooky Noah's birthday celebration.
Keith Leak Jr.
Way to make this about you, Noah.
Noah Grossman
Everything's about me, including this play. You know, I came back. Like, in horror movies. You know how the.
Tim
How the.
Noah Grossman
Well, everyone.
Olivia Sui
Yeah, we all came back.
Keith Leak Jr.
Yeah, I made it to the end. Guys, wait.
Damien Haas
Can we always do the reversal of what you'd expect? So, like, for Halloween, we do a romance.
Shane Topp
I have an idea for, like, July 4th. What if we did, like, like, all, like, the founding Fathers that die?
Olivia Sui
No, I mean, we all die of.
Damien Haas
Natural causes at the appropriate time. So it's just history.
Tim
You're just saying we just do Hamilton.
Courtney Miller
No.
Tim
Just do Hamilton.
Shane Topp
I don't know. I'm just trying to spit out some ideas, okay.
Courtney Miller
And contribute to this conversation. You know what one funny thing about radio plays is? Orson Welles did War the Worlds back in the day, and nobody was really used to those things. And they made it seem like the. Like it was a real radio transmission and that they're being attacked by aliens. A lot of people actually got freaked out. They thought an actual alien invasion was happening.
Keith Leak Jr.
Yo, yo.
Tim
Someone, like, people, like, did crazy shit.
Courtney Miller
Yeah.
Damien Haas
They thought the world was ending.
Tim
Yeah.
Courtney Miller
Yeah.
Tim
Like, I'm pretty sure people, like, murdered, like, murdered people.
Olivia Sui
I think I heard about that.
Courtney Miller
Like, aliens are here. Time to murder.
Olivia Sui
People started looting, probably.
Courtney Miller
Yeah, I know. People were, like, freaking the hell out because they made it seem like a real radio. Oh. And now we're here. Oh, my gosh. What's that in the sky?
Olivia Sui
What were you saying, Keith?
Keith Leak Jr.
I was gonna say, do you guys know who played radio the best?
Courtney Miller
Cuba. Cuba Gooding Jr.
Keith Leak Jr.
Yes.
Noah Grossman
Oh, that is so good.
Tim
We just read the script to radio.
Keith Leak Jr.
Have you guys ever seen radio before?
Tim
I saw radio in theaters.
Keith Leak Jr.
Really?
Tim
Of course I did. I probably cried.
Keith Leak Jr.
You cried?
Tim
Probably.
Keith Leak Jr.
You cried?
Tim
Cuba Gooding got me good.
Keith Leak Jr.
He got you good.
Olivia Sui
Wow.
Tim
Yeah. There we go.
Keith Leak Jr.
Good lord.
Courtney Miller
Yeah.
Noah Grossman
We should do one of these. I'm so happy about these radio shows. We should get one where the fans can, like, somehow we mad lib it. Or it's like one of those books where you turn to different pages or we roll a die, and there's, like, three things that could happen.
Olivia Sui
We could straight up read fan fiction as a radio play, probably with narration. Yeah, let's.
Noah Grossman
Because sometimes their scripts are great, but also we. We definitely bring them word for word when we do them. So maybe for this one, we'll. We'll spice it up a little.
Damien Haas
I Like, the idea of Mad Libs. Because, like, if they're anything like real Mad Libs, you're like, hello, I'm Professor But. Do you have any buts balls?
Courtney Miller
I need more.
Damien Haas
I mean, you've more or less.
Tim
Yeah.
Damien Haas
Same page.
Tim
We could also read a bunch of rejected scripts that we never made.
Narrator
Oh, that'd be fun, because I have a lot of them.
Damien Haas
Literally all the ones I've ever seen.
Tim
And there's so many that just visually we could never make on camera. So we could just explain the visuals.
Narrator
Garrett and Jackie, are there any sounds that you guys really want to make that you didn't get to make this time?
Courtney Miller
Oh, yeah. Treat us.
Ryan Seacrest

Garrett, looks like you went to France for five days and came back and was like, yeah, I. I really connected with the culture.
Keith Leak Jr.
If you dress like that when you go to Paris, you are the problem.
Tim
Garrett looks like it's amazing. A croissant. You've never had a croissant until you have one.

Courtney Miller
Oh, this? Yeah, this is definitely child, just tickle me.
Olivia Sui

Shane Topp
This feels like a table read for, like, Game of Thrones.
Olivia Sui
Hell, yes.
Keith Leak Jr.
Exactly.
Olivia Sui
We're basically hbo.
Shane Topp
Yeah.
Courtney Miller
So who. Who. Who thought who? Reading through. Reading through the script, who did you think was gonna be the murderer? Who did you guys think?
Keith Leak Jr.
I thought you at first.
Courtney Miller
I thought you.
Keith Leak Jr.
Yeah, definitely thought you.
Courtney Miller
Wow.
Shane Topp
You have, like, murdery vibes.
Olivia Sui
And then Damien pre vibes.
Courtney Miller
I definitely do have murder vibes.
Damien Haas
I feel like they set me up too much of, like, where's Damien? We don't know where he is. Where's the body? I'm like, if it turns out to be me, I'm gonna be actually way more surprised.
Shane Topp
Actually, I think it's the people that act happy all the time who are the murderers in real life.
Damien Haas
Yeah.
Tim
So me, I thought it was gonna be Garrett.
Shane Topp
Yeah, that's pretty cool.
Courtney Miller
I petitioned for it. I kind of thought maybe the narrator was gonna be the murderer.
Narrator
Ooh, that's a good one to put for next time.
Damien Haas
Or they make them murder. Like, the narrator's like, courtney stabbed Olivia. And they're like, what? No idea.
Narrator
She doesn't want to.
Damien Haas
Courtney stabbed Olivia?
Shane Topp
Oh, that's.
Narrator
Oh, that's really fun. If both of them really don't want to.
Tim
For those of you listening, our narrator looks like she's about to compete in a spelling bee.
Olivia Sui
Yes. Suit and tie, baby.
Keith Leak Jr.
Bye.
Narrator
Look, it's just. It's just last year we didn't do that well, and so I thought if I dressed the part, then, you know, I'd do a lot better this year.
Shane Topp
Model UN Looking ass.
Olivia Sui
No.
Damien Haas
You guys are trying to play. But, like, real talk, this is Monica's best suit.
Narrator
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I. I didn't get married in this.
Olivia Sui
Oh, my God.
Shane Topp
Science fair. Look at ass.
Olivia Sui
Oh, my God.
Keith Leak Jr.
We're not about to cover Monica.
Damien Haas
It's way, sir.
Shane Topp
I'm kidding. I love Monica. I stand.
Narrator
Hey, guys. You have to say the words I write. So like that in line, she writes.
Olivia Sui
Our deaths into actual slosh. Catch. We can't be cast anymore.
Tim
And next. Next to her, Damien and I look like the two first options you get for Arthur Morgan and Red.
Damien Haas
It's like you pick the same character in the fighting game. You're like, okay, I want to be. Well, can you unselect so I can be the black one? And then you're the. You've got the light jacket. Thank you.
Keith Leak Jr.
Is it the same? Is it the same jacket?
Olivia Sui

Shane Topp
I love the energy that's happening that's just, like, transcending through.
Olivia Sui
Out of their coats or. Oh, all of us. Okay. I was like.
Noah Grossman
Guys, I got a quick question about.
Courtney Miller
About the.
Noah Grossman
About the thing. Yeah, about the radio thing. What was everyone's favorite part?
Keith Leak Jr.
My favorite part was the. The folly people over here. Foley. The fall. The foal falls, The Fallout Boys, the fo Fos. The Foley people. I think they were the best part. They worked really hard. I mean, we just got to sit here and chill and, like, laugh at them, but. But they did a really, really good job.
Courtney Miller
Yeah.
Olivia Sui
Tim's death was iconic also.
Courtney Miller
They took our shoes.
Shane Topp
They took our shoes.
Courtney Miller
And I'm not sure when we're gonna get this back.
Shane Topp
Why did they take our shoes?
Courtney Miller
For accurate representations of when you all were walking, I'm pretty sure they all sounded the same.
Tim
There's little difference. I understand that you needed my shoes for the sound effects, but why'd you spit in them?
Courtney Miller
Because.
Tim
Because the human body is what, 70% water?
Courtney Miller
Shane.
Damien Haas
I want to see where he's going with the sh.
Courtney Miller
And I wanted there to be liquid in those shoes as if it was a human body.
Tim
I also put some other dry materials in there.
Courtney Miller
Shane, I don't think that's spit. Shane. Ew.
Tim
What?
Damien Haas
What is it, Garrett?
Tim
Yeah, Ian, what is it? Yeah, you got to follow through with this now. Come on.
Shane Topp

Olivia Sui
I.
Tim

Damien Haas
It was.
Courtney Miller
I said it.
Keith Leak Jr.
He took it too far, cuz he said it was wet.
Olivia Sui
We all know we. We stand dry.
Noah Grossman
Yeah.
Courtney Miller
When I.
Damien Haas
There's some Foley for you.
Narrator
Wait, is it normally wet or dry?
Courtney Miller
It's like. Well, have you ever. Yeah. What? What? Huh?
Damien Haas
It's like a single sugar cubism.
Courtney Miller
It's like. Have you ever seen. Have you ever seen dehydrated milk?
Keith Leak Jr.
No, it's not about this anymore.
Shane Topp
Oh, like buttermilk. Like coagulated milk.
Courtney Miller
Like, if you go. If you go.
Noah Grossman
Yeah.
Courtney Miller
What was your favorite part? Everyone else.
Noah Grossman
Yeah, your favorite part.
Olivia Sui
Why are we.
Shane Topp
Can we keep talking about this?
Keith Leak Jr.
No, Olivia, not so.
Noah Grossman
I really enjoyed Courtney. I agree. I think Tim's death was unbelievable. Yeah, seriously, like, arguably a real death.
Courtney Miller
Yeah.
Olivia Sui
Hold on.
Keith Leak Jr.
Could you do a little bit more for us, please? Like, give us some more? Yeah, please give us a little bit more.
Courtney Miller
Hey, hey, Tim, can you die some more?
Damien Haas
I need a new ringtone. Please do.
Courtney Miller
Oh, wait, wait. Should we.
Narrator
Yeah, hold on, hold on.
Courtney Miller
Here.
Narrator
It'll make sounds.
Courtney Miller
All I'm good is coughing. Should we. I feel like we should set up a new scenario for Tim's death. Okay.
Narrator
What do you have over there?
Courtney Miller
This is a sock full of rice.
Tim
That accurately represents the sounds of Tim's body collapsing.
Olivia Sui
These are cups that will make crunching sounds.
Narrator
Tim walks to his car, jingling his keys in his pocket.
Tim
Those are what Tim's keys for sure sound like.
Narrator
Yeah, Tim's magical keys.
Tim
He got them at World Market.
Courtney Miller
Oh, cool. My car. I have found it.
Narrator
He opens the door and gets inside. He turns on the engine and the radio.
Courtney Miller
I'm gonna switch it over to npr. This is great.
Keith Leak Jr.
He gave him a buggy.
Narrator
As Tim starts to descend the parking.
Courtney Miller
Garage earlier today.
Narrator
He notices that he suddenly has no will to live.
Courtney Miller
Wow. I just want to die.
Narrator
All of a sudden, Tim sees an opening and guns it.
Olivia Sui
Draws straight through the wall.
Narrator
As his car careens off the parking garage, it flips and lands, crunching Tim's body. And we hear his final moments.
Courtney Miller
Oh, I wish I. I watched the rest of the TV show. I wish I watched the rest of the TV show.
Tim
What was your last regret? I wanted to watch the rest of that TV show.
Courtney Miller

Host/Author: Smosh
Release Date: December 18, 2019
Description: A holiday-themed murder mystery radio play where the Smosh cast members navigate spooky occurrences in their office, competing for a grand prize while uncovering dark secrets among themselves.
The episode kicks off with Courtney Miller introducing a special radio play concept conceived by writer Ryan Finnerty. Originally intended for Halloween, the team transitioned it into a spooky Christmas-themed mystery due to time constraints. Courtney explains the format—a purely audio-driven narrative akin to a television show without visuals—and hints at thrilling and humorous elements intertwined within the story.
Courtney Miller [00:41]: "We thought, why not do a spooky murder mystery Christmas themed radio play."
She encourages listeners to watch the accompanying video on the Smoshcast YouTube channel for enhanced storytelling, emphasizing the effort put in by coworkers Garrett and Jackie for sound effects.
The narrative unfolds in the Smosh office boardroom a week before Christmas. The cast members—Ian, Keith, Olivia, Courtney, Shane, Damien, and Noah—gather, filled with holiday cheer but an underlying sense of unease.
Narrator [02:19]: "Twas the week before Christmas and in the Smosh office boardroom, the cast feels the holiday cheer. But there's more. A feeling of doom."
Courtney introduces a tantalizing challenge: whoever stays the longest in the haunted office overnight wins $100,000. This proposition ignites tension among the group as suspicions and fears begin to surface.
Courtney Miller [04:41]: "Whoever can spend the entire night in the haunted office with me gets the split $100,000."
As the cast debates the offer, interpersonal conflicts emerge:
Damien Haas expresses a desire to seize the prize alone, suggesting others leave.
Damien Haas [05:39]: "I could really use $100,000."
Keith Leak Jr. and Noah Grossman advocate for an even split, highlighting Damien's selfishness and past gambling losses.
Noah Grossman [05:56]: "We all gonna split the money evenly."
Courtney hints at mysterious and frightening events that have plagued the office, building suspense and justifying the challenge.
Courtney Miller [06:00]: "A lot of mysterious and scary things have happened in this office..."
As the night progresses, the atmosphere deteriorates:
Shane Topp decides to leave, citing a flight to Spain, creating a rift.
Shane Topp [07:40]: "I'm not staying here all night. I'm gonna go."
Noah Grossman faces a perilous situation when his wallet chain gets caught in the parking gate, nearly leading to his demise.
Noah Grossman [08:34]: "My chain. The gate begins to close..."
Back in the boardroom, the remaining members grapple with the absence of Noah and heightened paranoia about each other's intentions.
Keith Leak Jr. [09:19]: "Hey, shouldn't Noah be back by now?"
The tension escalates as members confront each other:
