Hi, welcome to Smoshmouth. I'm Shane and I'm Amanda and we have a very special guest for us today. Remy Parsons. I'm so excited. Okay. She has two YouTube channels, two podcasts, and she has a cookbook. I don't know when she sleeps. Here she is. Hi, Remy. Hi guys. I'm freaking out right now. My heart, like if you can hear my heart pounding through the microphone, just give me a little bit. Okay. This is insane. I can't believe I'm here right now. Thank you for having me. Because you're a fan of Smoshmouth. No, like I'm so sorry. Let me take it back. I'm the biggest fan. I will say my recent fan. I became a fan when you were on maternity leave, but I have to give a shout out. I can give a fan when you were here. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, but don't I was like, it was like, oh, it's my favorite episode. Those are my favorite episodes and then you came back and I really had to like get settled in. Yeah. I have like a little bit of time. No, no, but like my husband's been a fan. I have to give him a shout out. Cal loves you guys. He's been a fan for years and right when you went on maternity leave on the night. Is when I was like, oh, wait, okay. So what are we watching? I got into it and but don't worry. I went back and all the archives. I watched pretty much everything except I haven't started the resident evil and I know that you really referenced that a lot. So I'm really sorry. I have it. It's okay. You could skip you. I don't know. No, it's so fun, but it's such a journey. Okay. It's long videos. You have the time. I need a I need time to commit to it and that's why I haven't started. Yeah. But I'm such a huge fan. I love the pod. I love everything and I'm so excited to be here. Wow. You really, you really dove in. Thank you. I practiced that in my sleep. You killed your husband wakes up and just you're just like, and I'm like, such a huge fan. I really love it. I know you were on the street, but I went back and watched everything. Everything. I'm sure you're going to watch resident evil and go, wait, what's happening? It's so funny. I have someone says they watch like all of our kind. I'm like, that's impossible. We somehow upload more hours of content a week than there are hours in the week sometimes. Yeah, when you have the time, as we mentioned, you have two podcasts, two YouTube channels, three dogs, three dogs, one cookbook, one called Let's Get Cooking. Yeah. It's already out. You guys, let's go and I cannot wait to look through this right now. Yeah. Do you have some sort of time machine or what are you, how are you doing this? Honestly, it's just like smosh is on when I have any time to myself. So it's like getting ready. When we're eating, it's like what smosh video are we watching? Like what went up? Watch girl dinner yesterday, which I'm sure you filmed seven months ago. What did you think? I. What did you think? Loved it. I won. I loved it, but yeah, you won. I loved yours. And also the tuna with the soy sauce did sound really good. Okay, okay. I want to try that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I want to try. I was inspired by that and I do not eat in my bed. I think eating a bed is gross. I don't. I don't. I don't. I don't bring food into my bedroom. I do not bring food into my bedroom. It feels so weird unless I'm on a meeting and it's like a quick thing. And I had roommates when I lived in like people have roommates. I'm like, yeah, then that's your space. But even then if I had roommates, I'm like, I'm eating in the kitchen and I'm just going to have to talk to whoever's coming in the kitchen. Wait, yeah, I kind of agree because then you get crumbs all over your bed and then all over. Then you got to do that. Yes, I just for me, it's actually more just like a psychological thing. Same. I'm like some rooms. I'm like, I don't like food in this room. Same. It looks like something small or whatever, but like a plate of food. Wait, what's your girl dinner then? I was thinking about this as I was watching. It's not like what the food is. It's more of like the act of doing it. So I'll usually just like stand with the fridge open and eat as much as I want until I'm full of like whatever in the fridge. That's my girl dinner. Exactly. I'm grazing. I'm grazing. Yes. We graze. I graze too. Really? Yeah. What are you grazing? Actually, I'm happy to say this. For like the past few months, what Courtney and I do is we buy a bunch of like berries from the farmer's market. We know we got a we got a stand that we're friends with them. We get a really good deal. We get a bunch of berries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries. And we have them in one container in like right eye level in the fridge. So every time I open up the fridge, grab handful of berries. Eat them. I'm feeling great. He's just a variable. I powered up a little bear. He's a little bear. You're the Bernstein bear. Yeah, I love those. Is it staying? Is it Bernstay? I don't think it's staying that aggressively. Yeah, it is. That's the Mandela effect though. That's the one that everyone talks about. Bernstein. Yeah, it's A.I.N. not E.I.N. right? Yeah, it's A.I.N. Whoa. I need to get this book for my son so I can say Bernstay and bear. I don't like that. He knows. I don't like that. Yeah, this was after we shifted dimension. Yeah, yeah. Right. Anyway, anyways, I feel like you I was going to say I feel like your girlfriend or would actually be something just really, really good because you've made a whole cookbook. So you must cook all the time. I do, but I will say oftentimes after like cooking all day for content that I'm like I'm out for the day. I need to just sit, watch Smosh and silence and eat. Take out. I feel like I've heard that about people who are like chefs and stuff that at home you're not actually cooking that much because it's their job. Exactly. Yeah, it depends on the day really. It's like also I'll like kind of nibble while I'm cooking and making content and then I'm full and that it just depends on the day. But I do cook quite a bit. I will say like I'm big on hosting like any any time I can host I will host friends, family, whatever and I feel like that's really where I shine a lot too. Lovely. Yeah, I was looking. You have you have do you have more than one cocktail in here? I have a few. Yeah. Oh, baby. Yeah. Love cocktail. I see your Z Biotics outside and I got excited. I'm a big fan. I'm telling you that with the cocktail. I'm so excited. I'm going to take a Z Biotic and then do your caramel foam espresso martini. Okay, first of all, the pictures in here are stunning. I do have to ask, did you take all these pictures in one day or was it like a full? Because you look incredible in all these pictures. You have fun outfits and that picture picture you're outside like in the summer. You're so sweet. Actually, we shot this I think in it was January and February was a little bit mixture a mixture of both, but the reason why we had to spread it out so much was the fires. We shot this in January of last year. The fires broke out so and it was really close to my house. So I had to go home. We had to like, you know, figure that out for a little bit and then picked up again in February right around my birthday, which I know you're an Aquarius. What is your birthday? February 7th. Wow. I knew I liked you. Aquarius minded. We are Aquarius' which means we come part mentalized. And it's a good thing. It's a good thing. We keep things in little boxes and then we deal with them later. Exactly. We can get through our day. But I don't know if you feel this about Aquarius. I feel like I want everyone to get on the same page, like to get to this new innovative level. I'm like, we all have to get on the same page and that's my work to be like, okay, it's okay. It's okay that everyone doesn't get on the same page. But up there is really cool, right? Are you an eldest daughter as well? I'm a third. Oh a third. But okay. There's there's some elder energy happening with me. That's what I was going to say. I'm definitely like very much that mindset and I'm an eldest daughter. So I'm like, why are we all not doing the exact same thing together right now? Oh see, since being the third, I actually had to learn learn to be like, okay, I'm just keeping the pieces like part of my Aquariusness. Okay, elder energy. I'm happy belated birthday to you. Thank you so much. And you also got married. I did. Yes. In Santa Barbara. Yes. We all got married and so on that. Oh, yeah. She's got married at the courthouse. Not the same time as me. Oh my god. Yeah, same time. We just courted I just didn't post about it for. Yeah. All their pictures is just H and I kind of in the background like in our wedding. Yeah, it was it's lovely. Love it there. Beautiful. Good food. Good great food. Great, great, great food. Great. I love it. Like that's one of my favorite places in the world. I feel like just weather, food, people, dogs everywhere. Everyone's so happy and nice. I love it. They have really good food. They also have like a seafood festival that I've actually never been to on the pier. I love that restaurant on the pier. That's like my favorites. That restaurant is so good. Yeah, oysters there, solid, delicious. I love seafood. I was saying that if I could have oysters, a cheese board, and spaghetti, that's like my main food. Wow. Yeah. Altogether? No. Separate times. Separate times. Like if I were to choose three different types of food to live my whole life. It would be that. I love oysters, but I cut them out of my diet like two years ago. Mommy, why? Because they can give you like a brain eating amoeba. I've heard. I'm sorry. What? Sorry to say it. I'll have like 50. I know I love them. And I've called them so frequently. That explain so much. I thought I was an Aquarius. I just kind of fucking amoeba. I just I got that. Wait, tell me tell me what else is wrong? Well, okay, I've heard I've heard though you you should eat them. I believe it's when the month ends with ER or it ends in an hour. There's something because it's a colder month. So then they because the amoeba can grow in warmer months. So like summer, we're not eating oysters. Winter is okay. Oh fuck. It's okay. Everyone on the east coast should know about the amoeba because they're only eating oysters in the summer, but it's also my family sick. It's okay. I feel like East Coast is different than West Coast jail for oysters. That's that's true. They're like right right there in the Cape. Yeah, you walk out. You just you just grab them. Yeah, they're on the road. They're out of the ocean over there. Okay, the cookbook. You've been working on this for years. Yes. How many years? About three I would say now. It's coming up on on three years. Was it something you always knew you wanted to do cooking? like cooking content or a cookbook. - A cookbook. - Cookbook, not exactly, honestly. Like my journey of becoming like a food cooking creator happened really naturally, and then this came up, I mean, I would say probably about like five years ago, four years ago, I was like, okay, this is something I really want to do, and then it took like a three-year process, obviously. - You've been making content for so long, so you say-- - Over 10 years. - Kind of, you kind of became a cooking influencer, but what, if we're gonna go back, I guess, what did you start out doing? - Oh, yeah, on YouTube. - 'Cause I was looking at your channel, and I was like, I always love talking to like, I feel like you're such a YouTuber, YouTuber. - Really? - Yeah, definitely. - Like a real YouTuber of like the content that you're doing, you've been doing it for so long, but you had like lots of story times and vlogs and all. It seems like you kind of do everything in that realm. - Yes, so I found YouTube pre-installed on my iPod touch first generation, when it was that little tan green TV looking box, and I remember, I think I was in middle school, I clicked it, I was like, what is going on? Open it up, the only people on there were like, Smosh, Ryan Higa, Kevjomba, all those people at the time. I fell in love with YouTube also, because at the time, and we're still working on it, there was very little Asian representation in traditional media, so I was like, oh my God, I found all of the beauty world, which a lot of those women were Asian or are Asian, so I was like, wow, I'm learning how to do my eyeliner, I'm learning how to curl my hair, I'm in middle school, I'm really ugly, I need all the help I can get. - It's true, so I'm learning how to do my makeup. - That was a weird time, horrible time in my life, I'm in puberty, I'm working on, braces, you guys, expand or all, it's cool. - Me too. - Oh, I'm gonna expand or my dad had to turn the key, and I was like, he has the worst, oh. - I had the rubber bands. - No, honey, that's fine, that's child's play. - The expander is a machine that goes up here. - Is it made by Jigsaw? - Yes, saw, saw, there's a prequel to saw, and it's called the expander. It goes up here, like brackets, and there's a key hole, and someone, probably your parent, which is so embarrassing, has to go into your mouth and turn the key, and it expands your jaw. It's when you have two small of the mouth. It's your teeth are crowded. - Oh, the poor small mouth, I guess it's. - It's probably something I've had friends who probably had it back in the day, I just forgot. - Well, if you saw them talk or laugh, you'd go, you have gum stuck up there. - Yup, and then you go, no, it's a calendar. - That's the machine that's in my face. - How long did you have it? - I had it in the second grade, and then-- - Feels young. - I started my journey very young. I got my wisdom teeth out when I was like, nine, I think it was, I know, they brought them to me in crumbles because they weren't fully formed yet. - At least by the time you're in middle school, you're done with it all, right? - No, 'cause I had two sets of braces. Now these are veneers, don't get it twisted. (laughing) We just went straight there, but yes. - I know what, get rid of 'em. (laughing) - Onto the big-- - I'm not dealing with this. - Exactly, so middle school, found you too. And I fell in love with all the beauty content that I saw, so I was making, I would film, not even film, I would just talk to myself in my mirror for years. Finally, when I got to high school, I was like, "Okay, let's try this." And so I started doing beauty content, lifestyle content, kind of anything that interested me at the time, and I ended up going to college at UCR, very close to your old offices in Rancho Cucamonga. And in Lynn Empire, I went there for a year, and that's actually when my YouTube channel really started to take off. I was making videos in my dorm room, and-- - Crazy! - But at this time, people weren't really doing it for money. This is 2013 now, so it was just kind of starting. - Yeah. - Exactly, I was doing videos. All my girlfriends would go to like, you know, I was in a sorority, they'd be like, going to the parties, I'd be like, "I'm gonna stay in my room and film by myself." - You were smart. - And so honestly, I loved it. I had a great time, and then that summer before my sophomore year, I was like, okay, I think I could actually like do this full time. People are now doing like brand deals. It's becoming more of a thing. I had to really convince my parents to let me try doing it for, you know, a year. - Oh, I'm sure you had to like explain everything to them. - Oh, they-- when my dad who was paying for college was like, take as much time as you need. - Whoa! - This is awesome. Like, let's see if this can happen, 'cause he was hoping obviously. - Thank you, dad. - Thank you, dad. - Thank you, dad. My mom, who was a nurse who was very much wanting me to be somewhere in the healthcare industry, was like, I don't know. It took a lot of coaxing, but eventually I let her, or I convinced her to let me take one year. Let's try it for one year. If I, if it doesn't work out, I'll go back only missed one year. But luckily that year really worked out for me. So then I moved out to LA from there, and also kind of in that same time, I was in college, didn't have my mom to cook for me anymore. So I was like, I didn't have the dorm food either. So I was like, what am I gonna do? And am I gonna eat? And then that kind of also started my cooking journey. So I was vlogging every day. And just kind of, you know, starting with the microwave, work my way up to the stove, and then the rest is history. - Oh my God. - It's so, I find it like, I wanna applaud you for knowing what you wanted to do so early on. Like you were like, oh, I really like this. I'm gonna go for it. 'Cause I feel like a lot of people have that block where they go, I really like this thing, but there's no way. You know, whether it's parents influence or whatever, like I just, I think that that is so incredible that you were like, this is what I wanna do. I'm doing it. I'm gonna convince my parents. It's gonna work out. - Thank you. - That's huge. - That's really cool. - It's also hard to like convey to like, I guess people now, like becoming a YouTuber, becoming an influencer is such a known thing now. - Yes. - But back when you were getting into it, and it's crazy to hear the stories of like, Ian and Anthony at the start. It's like, nobody knew really what that was. - Yeah. - And there wasn't much of a rubric for it. And like, companies didn't know much about it and stuff. So you kind of were just doing your own thing. - Yeah. - So it's so amazing to hear, and like, and then I loved looking at your channel, seeing videos from like 10 years ago. - Yeah. - Like, hey, I'm 21, like I'm in my room, just hanging out, whatever. And like, zooming to like the recent ones, where I'm like, oh, you're married, and you're bringing out a cookbook and stuff. It was like, cool to see your whole journey, like in one instant. - Yeah, thank you, guys. - So polished and like, aesthetic and everything. - Thank you, my God. - Hey. - So much, my best friend is a third grade teacher. And so she's been around with me obviously, since early high school. So she's been with me throughout the whole journey. And she, I remember one time she called me, because it was one year specifically, where obviously in third grade, like the big question is, like, what do you wanna be when you go up and so they're all drawing and doing the little, you know, filling it out? And she called me and she was like, you're not gonna believe this. This year, it switched from like firefighter, doctor to YouTuber to like, influence her. - Yeah, I've heard it. - She's like, this is great. You see, kids that age are, they're watching YouTube. - For sure. - Oh, that's all they're watching. - Yeah. - It's YouTube or it's some other platform like YouTube. TikTok, Twitch, or whatever. - You're great, I know. - I know. - I don't know how to feel when I hear like, oh, if you wanna become a YouTuber, I'm like, you know what I feel about that. Like, I don't think it's more like, it's more like, what do you want out of that? - Because yours was like pure passion, where sometimes I get worried that they're doing it 'cause they're like, oh, I wanna be famous. - Yeah. - Oh, I wanna like make all this money to be famous. - I also don't know how I feel about it because it's too vague because I'm like, a YouTuber, you put a room full of YouTubers and those are very different people, right? - Right. - Like, how similar am I to primitive technology? - Mm-hmm. - Right, like that. We're doing completely different things. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - You know, like, a YouTuber is just the platform. - So true. - What you make on there could be anything. - It's kind of like saying, like, I'm on TV, it's like, are you a news anchor or are you a slapstick stand-up comedian? - Right, there's so much. - There's so much. - It's so, it's very so much fun. - Also, no more firefighters? - Yeah, we make them. - We make them. - Hello. - Anyways, yeah, your journey's amazing. And so anyways, try to get back to the cookbook. - Okay, yeah, so you were vlogging, you started vlogging because you were like, oh, I don't have my mom to, so your mom was a big cook. - Yes, my mom was an amazing cook. I actually, like, I have some of her recipes in here. I gave her some shout outs and things. She is just like, she's the most amazing cook. She inspired me so much. I didn't realize how much I took her food for granted too. Obviously, till I moved out. But she is incredible. Like, I had these memories. I have so many memories of coming home from school and she's just like in the kitchen, had bought a deep fryer and was just like trying to figure out how to work it and made like the most incredible fried chicken just on a random Tuesday because she felt like it. Like, I didn't realize also. I kind of thought everyone's moms were like that, but I also learned a lot once I got married because I love my mother-in-law, but she always is like, I'm not a huge chef. And so my husband is always like, you got this on a Thursday, you got this on like, or every weekend, like this is crazy. - Oh, you did it. - So it made me really, she's in this cookbook too. - Yeah, her photos are in it too. - Yeah, I was flipping through and I was like, oh, that definitely is Remy's mom. - Yes. - She's beautiful. - Thank you. - I feel like every chef, like, whenever I watch content or chefs and stuff, they always talk about like their parents or grandparents cooking. - Right. - At some point, like it's such an inspiration for it. - But I will say what's interesting is my grandparents were huge cooks, but I wasn't really allowed in the kitchen. So I didn't, like, it was like, do not come in this kitchen. So I didn't really learn how to cook from them. - Yeah. - I don't know, like, was your mom very involved with her cooking practices with you or were you just like a watcher? - I think I would just watch, because even like, there's a recipe in there for this, like, cornflake potato casserole that we have every Christmas and Thanksgiving. It's like my favorite thing, it's my brother's favorite thing. And she would be like, you know, stand over there, don't get in my way, because she's like, you know, causing a storm in the kitchen. - Right. - But I remember the year that she finally was like, okay, I need help in the kitchen. I feel like you know what you're doing. You can make the casserole. this year was like the sky opened up and the light shown on me like it was just it was the biggest trend. How old were you when that happened? I think probably like 15 or so like it took a while. That's a big time. Yeah it was just it was like the biggest honor it meant so much to me and so really though for for me cooking my cooking journey really took off though because of like out of necessity because I needed to eat and my mom wasn't there and that was when I was like oh this is actually so fun and it began with me just face timing her. Especially when I moved to L.A. I was alone in my apartment. There are so many foods and for me so I'm Korean but I'm Korean American so my parents immigrated here when they were kids and I grew up in Orange County California so there's like not a lot of there's Asian people but a lot a good amount of Asian people but I grew up in Anaheim Hills where it's predominantly white so for me and my parents wanted to assimilate and so I didn't really experience a lot of Korean culture so for me the only like really big tie that I had was Korean food like they made a lot of Korean food I'd say like once or twice a week I had you know very traditional Korean dinner so for me when I moved out to my apartment alone I was lonely and craving comfort and for me I'd be like oh I really want my mom's bookie but I don't have it so let me face time or how do I make it myself and then that's kind of really where I found comfort in my food also. That is so cool that is so cool to face. Now when you were in L.A. so you moved did you move straight to L.A. Yeah I moved after my sophomore year of college which I didn't finish the years of school but I lived out there in Riverside and then moved. Were you like discovering food out here too? Did you get or was it just straight like your mom is your source you weren't like going around L.A. to discover different types of food. Oh I would say I was going around a lot I'm also at this time postmates is really taking off and I was like this is the most incredible thing yeah which I still think it is but I would just postmates all the different foods and like try some different things because L.A. such a melting pot of different foods and things. Also K-town has some of the best restaurants in the world. Oh yeah. You can't park there but the food is the most amazing. You got it ever. Exactly. I remember the first time I had a Korean stew and I was like oh because I would always say like I'm not a stew person. I was like I don't like stew but then I had Korean stew and I was like oh look I lived out differently. Now I'm into this and yeah took bokeh is just so good. I don't I didn't know what it was for the longest time. I was like I don't even need to know. Yeah it's magic is what it is. That's how I feel about a lot of Korean food. I'm like it's just it's pure comfort. Like I got home from a road trip last night and I was like all I want is just some sort of Korean stew right now and I just got that delivered. I had that like 10 p.m. Oh sure mom. Yes there she is. Oh she's so sweet. Oh cute. Thank you. Yeah Korean stew is phenomenal. You were saying that Selena gave you homework? Yes. For this episode. Yeah. I'm so sorry about her. No. You guys. You're the first guest who she's the best. Homework. I hope you know I took a very serious. And your handwriting I can tell. Yeah. I took it very seriously. I've been doing on this for quite some time actually. And so basically when I had the the meeting of you know the run of show for this a while ago. I was told you know something fun that we could do is I would match the smosh cast to recipes in the book. No granted. I don't know dietary restrictions. I don't know what people like and don't like. So I'm just going off vibes and personality and I thought long and hard about this. I also have to give a shout out to Cal because he really helped me. Okay. I'm so excited. My God. I'm so nervous. I truly felt like I was in school. This felt like when I was in the eighth grade. I had a school project a history project where I had to match US presidents with like modern day celebrities or people who I thought they would like and that's the vibe I was getting again. I was taken back to the eighth grade. What's my president? I'm just kidding. That's really hard. I this was more fun though. Yeah this sounds like way more fun. I'm so intrigued what I'm going to get. You're actually the very front two. Okay, so this is all alcohol cocktails. You're the glossary. Okay, you're right. I like I'll try to go. I'll do like spark notes because I could really talk for every ever about everything. We love we love talking. Okay. We love talking. Perfect. Perfect for a podcast. So I gave Amanda the savory surprise breakfast muffins because my thought process here you're a new mom. You're busy. There's a whole chapter for grab and go breakfast which I mean I think is great for everybody. But especially I'm sure you're so busy. Oh honey I need that so badly. Are you a savory breakfast fan or a savory? I'm a savory. I do not love sweet. That's how I am too. Yeah. Okay. If I do pancakes I'm like I wish I didn't. You need something to go with it. This is literally perfect. Okay. Yeah. So these are like basically a breakfast muffin that has an egg on the inside. So it's like a fun little blind box. When you I meant I brought you guys or I meant to bring you guys blind boxes. I forgot. So sorry I had to tell the ones for you. Okay. So there's an egg inside and then there's also like you can customize it. I have different like you know you could do turkey bacon sausage, veggies, whatever you want on the inside. It's really fun and they're really good and you can make like a bunch of them. Stick them in the fridge, reheat it or eat it cold on the way out. Wait this is perfect because I do love to bake. Baking is like one of my favorite things that I do and I don't have a lot of time to do it. Yeah. And I just made scones but I was saying that I really want to make muffins. So I will literally make these. Wait I hope you love it. I know what kind of scones did you make? Um there were like everything scones. So I roasted all the nuts, pumpkin seeds and then I had cherries in there and mangoes, dried mangoes and it was like you literally eat it and you're like there's everything in here and it was so so so good but you have to be really careful with scones because they get really dry. Yeah. Yeah. But I'll do better with this. No, they sound great. These are fun too because I feel like it's the egg doneness you know, it can it's just kind of depending on how long you cook them. Yeah. So it's kind of fun. You don't know what you're going to get on the inside. So that's what I chose you. Thank you. So I actually saw these on TikTok because Emily Mariko, Queen, ate them from like a bakery up in San Francisco called Craftsmen and Wolves. And so I don't live in San Francisco but I was like I need that now. Yeah. This was kind of me trying to figure out how do I get that down here. So that was my choice for you. Yay. Yay. I'm savoury surprised. You are savoury. Savoury surprised. Yeah. Okay, next I chose for chance. Now, chance, Tommy and Angelo were a little hard for me because I don't know. Because they're not good people. Because they're awful. Exactly. I didn't want to give them anything. But to me, they also I feel like I want a party with them. Yeah. I don't know if they're partyers, but that's the vibe that I get. Yeah. So I went in that realm. Chance. I'm like, okay, this is perfect then. So I gave him, it's basically a Taco Bell Crunch Wrap, like an AM Crunch Wrap. And so for me, I was like, I'm sure he's going to be hung over in the morning. Also, he's addicted to hot sauce. Oh, yay. That boy loves hot sauce. So the fact that you have hot sauce in the background, you killed it. Okay, I'm so glad. I really was like, it was a toss up. But I figured when you're hung over the next morning, all you want, you're eating something like this. You need something to soak it all up. So to me, this is what I think is best. This looks amazing. This is perfect. Yay. Okay. Next, let's move on. Oh, we also have Angela. I did give Angela obviously for detective where's my coffee. I gave her the espresso martini. Stop. She's obsessed with espresso martini. That's a good call. You're already killing me. I was really going on vibes. I also, so I love espresso martini, but I prefer when they have a little bit of Bailey's in it. I like a creaminess to my espresso martini. Yes. So my husband's really into cocktails. So he actually made this recipe and there's a salted caramel cold foam on top, which adds that creaminess. Obviously, you can omitted or you can add it to your latte in the morning. It's really, really good on top of that. So that's a little extra flair or a little coffee drink. We love that. That one was really good. What's his favorite cocktail to make? He likes for our wedding. He did. We did the specialty cocktail. I think he did a tequila old fashioned. That's what he's really into right now. What? Yeah. I don't know what's in it, but he likes it. Probably like, is it like a hot and old friend kind of vibe or is it a little different? It's like a repassato, maybe. Yeah. I believe so. There's something smokey going on in it. Yeah. Nice. Okay. Next up, we have Courtney. So again, this was a talk. Yeah. And the girl dinner video really did change some of my answers. What I did see, I listened to a recent episode where they were talking about how they want to be little and like diving into food. Yeah. And so I was thinking a dip sounds lovely to swim in. Oh my God. Oh, you nailed it. She wants to swim in a dip. Okay. An onion dip. Yeah. Yeah. So there's two dips. We've got a caramelized onion dip. And then also we've got a bacon cheese dip with a fried pita. I mean, both both sound lovely to swim. Oh my God. She would curl up and this is good. Okay. Good. I love that you did you. I don't know if you probably didn't see this, but so much good fan art from that episode came out of just like Courtney with like a cherry tomato hat. Courtney and like a martini glass. Courtney and garlic bread. It was. She just wants to be Jerry from Tom and Jerry. And I love that. She wants you. Yeah. I mean, honestly, there are so many swimmable recipes in this book. It was like a little bit swimmable breathable. I was really trying to pick something, but I feel like a dip is good. I feel like it would be really satisfying to like jump in and like sink really slowly. I need to have like a corner of this book just says swimmable recipe. You're just like, I don't know what that means, but I love it. Yeah. You can swim in it. A list of the best swimmable recipes. Okay. Shane, for you, I went with a chicken wing. Oh honey. I did the garlic parm. There is a curry like a soy garlic one on the back also, depending on what you like. That's page 95. Okay. I chose this because protein. I feel as if you're big on protein, but also I know you're really into, is it the Broncos? Yeah. Okay. Yes. So to me, she really does. You guys have a big fan. So I'm a Packers fan though, but these all season long I was making for my husband and I when we were watching all the games and I feel like like the best snack for a game is obviously wings. - Oh yeah, absolutely. - Gotta go these. I did these for the Super Bowl. And they're always a favorite. - That's fantastic. - They didn't do well. - Oh, they got Super Bowl. - Hey, I was there for when they beat the Broncos. - Yeah, he was at the AFC championship. - He was full of it. - He was full of it. - He was full of it. - He was in New England or was it in Denver? - No, no, no, no. - He was in Denver. - And there was a snow storm. - Oh, so actually, wait, is that when he broke his ankle? - It was the week after. So he wasn't playing. - Oh. - He wasn't playing. - Okay, so I mutually know the backup quarterback of the Broncos. - Really? - Yes. And so I haven't met him, but I've heard amazing things. I apparently he's really sweet and his wife is really sweet. But when I heard that your quarterback broke his ankle, but this was his time to show him. - You're like the moment. - But I was so excited for him. Did he do okay? - Oh no. - He did all right. It's nobody can judge him. He got thrown into the hardest game in the hardest conditions. Actually, nobody played well that game. - That's what I was thinking. - Like that's what happened. I think he's fine. He's gonna be fine. - He's gonna be fine. - Also being a backup quarterback, that's the dream job. - That you got it. - Is it? - It is. - Yes. - You're just sitting there. - You make a lot of money and you don't have to like get hit. - No CTE. - Yeah, but then you don't do what you love to do. - Oh, you get to practice all of it. (laughing) - Okay. - Look, and what's crazy. - Okay. - No, no, I love it. I'm really into football now. - It's like always a backup quarterback. It's like, yeah, he's probably the 33rd best quarterback in the world. - Yeah. - You have to be the level of eliteness to be in the league even on the bench is the same. - No, he didn't get to play. - But I feel like, like we need to think about the fact that these people even make it to the NFL. - There's only a couple. - It's unreal. - Yeah. - You have the best of the best of the best. - Absolutely. - It's the same. - Yeah. - I was gonna say, I think I was the easiest for this 'cause I have not seen a recipe that I wouldn't love. - I was like trying to guess, I was like, which one's gonna be mine? - I know. - I was like, these gochis stuff date. - Okay, I almost did that, too. I heard you like gays, but I love a lot. - I really, I'm not picky. - Okay, okay, okay, okay. - I will eat whatever. - Okay, perfect. - But chicken wings, solid pick. - Amazing. - And I'm going good. - Thank you, guys. - Okay, I'm so glad. Next up, Damien. - This is so awesome. - I gave him the sweetest strawberry buttercake bars because I did listen to this week's episode and you did, or he kept calling him Damien himself. Damien's strawberry haus, right? - Oh yeah. - I don't know where they're coming from, but I did switch it for him. So, I gave him those. - And you have butter in it and butter, like he loves butter. - He loves butter. - God, Damien loves butter. - Let's do it. - Don't we all? Let's let that go. - No butter gets thrown into a lot of his jokes a lot. - Oh, yeah. - You know what I'm saying? - Oh, rip. - And he loves butter. - Yeah. - These ones are really good, though, when I was making this recipe, I was kind of just like playing around in the kitchen and then it ended up tasting like a master's buttercake, which-- - I don't think I've ever had that, but-- - I don't think I've ever had that. - I've never been to a master's. You got it there. - You got it there. - It's incredible. It's just like-- - Where is it? - It's delicious. There's a couple in that light. They're kind of all over, but it's just a really yummy steakhouse, but they're known for this butter cake. That's like the most delicious dessert in the world. - I love a butter cake. I love an olive oil cake, too. - Love an olive oil cake. - So much. - So these are like a fun little twist on a little bar. Okay, next up, okay. For a Russia, I know she's Genzy. And so for me-- - She is Genzy. - She is Genzy. - That girl. - For me, I gave her, basically it's my take on a cosmic brownie because in my mind, maybe she missed the wave of cosmic brownie. - Whoa. - You know, brownie? - That's actually brilliant. I'm like, I feel like maybe the Genzy urns. Don't appreciate a little Debbie Cosmone. - A little Debbie. - A little Debbie. - But I'm more interested in this because like an actual homemade brownie modeled after that. Because the galaxy brownies, I loved them. They're the cosmic brownies. I loved them. But you would eat them and you're like, was this real? - Is this real? - Is this going to sit in my body for 10 years? Like, is this just like growing plaque all over my body? - Oh, oh, oh. - I think that's made a plaster. But it's delightful. - It's so yummy. - No, I loved them. And if you're at the lunch table and some other kid had them. - You're like, I'll treat you every time you have that. - You truly were like, oh my God. - Yeah. - You're bartering skills when you had a cosmic brownie. - Yeah. - Like new no bounds, absolutely. - Yeah, you run that place. - Absolutely. So I gave her those. I was like, I think that she could really appreciate that and understand the culture. I think that's really her. - She needs to understand the culture of millennial. - I agree. - Yeah, I think everybody needs to understand the culture of millennial. - I fully-- - I'm passing that law. - I think people-- - No. - They do. - Shane, don't. - They watch just dance around fire pits and go, "Hat!" (laughing) - They watch the Chicago Parties. - They watch the Chicago Parties. - Oh, oh. - You're weird for too many times. - Oh my God. - Dude, the amount of comments we've gotten in the past like years, so I'm just like, these guys are so millennial. And I'm like, yeah. - And you know what, yellow. - Yeah, I can't really deny, don't do that. - Okay, but here's the thing. Like, if we were to really lean into Gen Z, then I think that's even worse. - Oh, I mean. - You know what I mean? - What do you mean? - What would I even say, chud? - What is chud? - I think you're the only one who gets a pass. You do it if you were like, Amanda's allowed. (laughing) - No, you're not. - You're an eternity leave and you're like, six, seven. And everyone's like, only she can play. - That's because my nephew, who literally, I think is in the third grade, said six, seven all the time. - Oh, yeah. - And I was just like, what are you doing watching YouTube? - Every other second. - My nephew's three. And my brother's friends taught him it. Like, he can, at the time, he barely spoke, but he was doing this. And I thought that was insane. - Bad news, bad news. - But it's kind of fun. - Rough. - Okay, next. Tommy, again, seems like a good time to go out with in the morning, my dear little hungover. So I gave him, basically, it's like a take on avocado toast. I don't know, I just feel like he likes avocado toast. But this is, instead of using, you know, a toast or bread or bagel or whatever underneath, you make a homemade hash brown. - Yes. - Delicious. - Oh my God. - Super, super good. - So I thought maybe he would enjoy that on a Sunday morning. - Is this really oily oil on it? - Yes. - Hot, hot, love. - It's really oily oil so much. Okay, next up, I'm just like speeding through these. I know Ian loves breast milk, so I gave him the pretty flavored cereal milk glaze thing. - Wait, stop. - Oh, that's you. - Stop. - Stop. - Wait, this is, I mean, he did say it a lot. And I did give him a little bit. You, wait. (laughing) I did package a little bit for him. - I just, and what were the reviews of you? (laughing) - He said it was really sweet and I said, yeah. - Mmm. - God, dude. - Anyways. - Our HR representative is just listening to this guy. I was like, what? - What do I do? - No, they're not listening 'cause they're like, I don't wanna have a heart attack. - I can't know. - Okay, so since Ian loves breast milk, you've got him. - So there's got like, it's a beautiful cereal milk glaze on the pancakes. He could obviously, you can substitute any milk of your choice. (laughing) - Those are really good. - I will say at the time of writing this book, I did not like plain pancakes. I've come around, because again, I wrote these recipes like a year and a half ago and my palate has changed. - Yep, yep, yep. - So for now, I love like a regular pancake, like a solid buttermilk, but I wanna do something fun, so there's a couple different variations of pancakes. - I was gonna say, you have a matcha latte pancake. - Yeah, I love matcha. - I love matcha. - I love matcha so good. - Those are kind of like a tiramisu vibe too, because I put like, marscopone on the inside of the, if you wanna stack it, really good. - Damn. - Really fun. - You got to stop. - You got to stop. - You got to stop. You got to stack and stop. - You got to stack and stop. Okay, next, we've got Trevor. And I know he has a culinary background, right? - Yeah, baking. - Oh, baking. Okay, I did give him one of the harder recipes, because I thought that, you know, with his background, he might be able to handle it. So this was like, the recipe that gagged everybody on my team who was there for the recipe testing day. This is the Korean fried chicken sandwich with an Asian pair of small. - Oh my god, yummy. - This, like this photo, so obviously I did not take the photos. There was a full photographer who like specializes in food. There was a food stylist. Everybody was there on the shoot day. But I, this photo, when I saw it come out, I was like, I can't believe this came from my brain. Like, this is the recipe I keep talking about, because I'm like, this is just the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in the world. - This is, this is like my favorite food. I love a fried chicken sandwich so much. - Me too. - The best mayo ever. - So good. And then also with the Asian pear. Like, it cools it down. So I figured he could handle this recipe. - Yeah, absolutely good. - Oh, it's an Asian pear slot. - Yeah, so there's like sweetness from the Asian pear. So good. And it goes really well with the spiciness of the chicken. Okay, I'm gonna go to Olivia now. I gave her the garlic lover, Shrimp and Nudes, because - Yeah, she loves noodles. - There's an Asian flare, my Asian queen. - She also loves rice. - And she loves noodles. And I figured she could eat it in bed. Like, this is a good food to eat in bed. - Unfortunately, yeah, she does eat in bed. - If she was gonna eat something, she can eat it. And this is actually the recipe that's on the cover. So I'm like, see, I'm eating on the couch. - Okay, look. - She could do that in bed. - Oh, yeah, this could be you. - Yeah. - Yeah. - But stop eating in bed. (laughing) - But change your behavior. - Exactly. So I gave Spencer the better than that furniture store, I gave Swedish meatballs. - Ooh. - Because obviously, where's my, or what is it? Did somebody say meatloaf? - Oh my God. - But there's meatballs. - Yes. - But the reason I also gave him the story is, so my husband is obsessed with Spencer. And I told him that to his face when I saw Spencer at a party, and he was like laughing. - No way. - And I was over share of him. - So embarrassed the next day. - But, and I went home and I told my husband. And he was like, now we can't be friends. I was like, you weren't gonna be friends with me. - Dare you. (laughing) - Wait, what is, what video games did your husband play? - Fabulous question. - It's okay, it's okay. When people ask me what my husband play, I'm like, "He plays a lot of. " - It's okay, it's okay. - It's okay. - It's okay. - It's okay. - It's not like I probably would know it. - Okay, thank you. - No worries, I appreciate that. - No truly. - Yeah, exactly, exactly, I couldn't tell ya. - I had never, I really didn't play that many video games. That's like my lore, but I did play 007 when I was a kid. - Oh yeah. - Grand Theft Auto, Tony Hawk, Skater, and then I played those, but when I got on Smosh, obviously we played FNAF and Resident Evil, and I was like, "Uh oh, I like this too much." I genuinely just don't want to go so far into it, 'cause I don't know when I would fit it in. - It's a slippery slope. - But damn, do I love horror video games? - Yeah. - It's so good. - Plenty of them. - Yeah. - Yeah, it's a slippery slope, though, 'cause I go home and I'm like, I can't play Pocopia. I have to not play it. I have to actively play it. - What the hell is Pocopia? - I've heard it's in battle. - It's more frankly, Amanda. It's more than a game. It's a lifestyle. - Yeah, I am building a world. I'm building a habitat. - I can't do that. - I'm designing cute little houses. - Oh, wait, wait, that's cute. - My Pokemon. - Yeah, oh, I've heard about this. Yes, yes, yes, yes. Shane loves to build and farm and create all these homes and start a valley, right? - I love start a valley. - I think, honestly, I mean, my video game history is like Animal Crossing and then 10 dogs, if I'm being honest. So to me, Pocopia is perfect. I'm like a little nervous that I'm gonna get lost in it too, so I haven't started yet, but I really want to. - It can happen. - I really want to. - You have too much going on. - I gotta get through the book tour and then I'll get into Pocopia. That'll be my relaxation time. - So you're gonna go on a book tour? - Yes. - And by the time this airs, you're like actively on it. This is the first stop of Pocopia, right? - I think, yeah, this is like the first time I'm like talking about it in person with people, so this is an honor. But then after, and a couple days ago to New York, and then we're doing Chicago Miami, and then I think the day this comes out is the last day of the book tour. - Okay, so it'll be done by the time. - Yes. - So cool. I'm so curious what a book tour is. - Yeah, me too. - Especially for a cookbook. - Yes, I mean, basically what I'm doing is, when I go to New York, my best friend's coming out, who's also my podcast with a host, and we're basically just gonna have a little fireside chat and talk about it, and then the other stops are just like, at bookstores and people are coming, and I can like chat with them, sign the book, do all that, and then some other press things along the way. I'm doing the Today Show. - What? - No, I'm not okay. I'm like really nervous. - Wait, why? I'm excited, but I'm nervous. - I wonder what that would be like to do the Today Show. I kind of like, I kind of would really wanna try that, and just be like, "Hey, I'm here." 'Cause I feel like they'd be really intense over there. - I am just nervous because it's live. I'm so excited. - It is, it's live. - It's a podcast, so obviously we're like, "Oh, you can cut this, we'll be fun." - I feel like you are so, your persona, the content you do, I think you're gonna do great. - Thank you guys. - If they invited one of us, it would be a mistake. - Oh yeah, it would be wrong. - It wouldn't bring anyone from Smosh onto this. - I'd be like, "Oh yeah, I used to work at a new station, "but it's been a long time, and I shouldn't be here." That's probably what would happen. - I think you would do an amazing job. - Thank you. - Yes. - Actually, maybe I would, maybe I'd just interview them. - Ooh. - You just flip it on them? - Flip it around. I'm like, so how's the relationship with your family? - They're like, who is the today show now? - Well, Savannah, yeah, with Savannah. She actually came back. - Oh, did she? - And Hoda and Hoda did a full interview with her about everything that's going on. - I completely forgot that. - Yeah, Savannah got free, so she's been gone, but she is actually back, still actively working on it, and it's Hoda and, I forget the other guy. - But Hoda did leave, but I think she came back with everything, and now she's going back. - She took over for Savannah. - I feel super millennial, 'cause when I hear the today show, I'm like, oh yeah, and I'm thinking about the hosts from the '90s. - Are you thinking about Hoda and Hoda? - Not Hoda. - Blond. - I'm thinking of, we can cut this, and what are we doing? - Yeah, we're doing the thing. Who's that, who's that lead? - This is something that Shane and I do, is we forget that we're on a podcast, and we just go off on this like friend tangent, we're like, yeah, who's that guy? Who's that? - Who's that guy? - Like screaming in their paws. - And the fans are like, I hate you stop now. I love it, I do. - What's it like hosting two podcasts? - My god, I looked through everything that you do, and I was like, how? - How do you know it? - That's what I feel about you guys. I think your schedule is insane. - Well, it is. - It is, I don't understand that. - Also. - But a lot of our stuff is just mindless. We're just playing board games, we're just reading Reddit stories. - It's not mindless, we're working really hard. - We are working hard. - It is exhausting sometimes. - No, but still. I'm sure, no, I cannot believe the amount of content you guys pump out, it's crazy to me. - I know. - It's crazy. - It is a lot. - But it is, I will say, for us, we have like a huge team, like being like, you're doing this, so like when you're doing all of your podcasts, you're doing two podcasts, two YouTube shows, it's all you, and you do have a team. - I do have a team, yes. I have people that help me, which is amazing. I would not be able to do it without my team, who helped me, but I think it's kind of like, compartmentalized though, like there, I know. - Exactly. One podcast I have with my best friend, we're going on eight years now, which has been a long time. - Whoa, yeah. - It was a friendship. - Pretty much also, yeah, like eight years friendship, eight years of the podcast, also. - But you guys were friends how long before the pod? - Like, we were, we always knew each other because we did the same kind of content, but we really, I'd say we kind of became best friends like that year that we started the podcast, so. - It's a bold move. - I know. - That's why. - It can be spooky. - That can be moving in together. It's like, oh, let's start a podcast. It's sort of business. We always reference this, but I remember my manager at the time called me and was like, hey, so they're putting a clause in like, if you have a friendship break up, what happens to the podcast? I'm like, this is insane. - But it's real. - You need to do it, yeah. You do have to. So that's the thing. - So you get everything. - Exactly, 100% goes to me. - That's good. - We do, basically like, I kind of know like, what I'm going to talk about on what, because on the podcast with my best friend, it's like, we get vulnerable, we're crying. It's like, whatever is done on my-- - Yeah, really fun. - The whole time, the podcast that we have is like a spin-off with our other friends who actually, it started as a collab, a pot swap. They came on our pod, we went on theirs, and then maybe a couple of years later, they called us and were like, hey, do you want to start a spin-off? They're ex-viners. So they're kind of kooky. - Oh, I love fun. - They're kooky. - I know some ex-viners, yeah. - I'm serious. - I'm serious with ex-viners. - Yeah. - They're so fun. They're like-- - They're crazy. - Yeah. - It's crazy. - They're like, fun. I feel like also, they're just-- - Because when I used to film Vine with my friend, it was like, let's get 10 Vines done this morning. That was the vibe I would go, and we would film 10 to 15 Vines in a morning, and it was insane. - That was when Millennials peaked. - It was true. - It's true, and it didn't work. - You don't get that same hit anymore. Getting it, get it, story done in six seconds, but no one knows that anymore? - No. - But they're like, so they're fun. They bring out like our fun side, and so that's like a much more like, laughy comedy time. So I'd say like, that's a nice split between the two. - Yeah, yeah. - It's a good break. - And then your YouTube show is You Cooking. - Yes. - And your husband is on there. - He's there sometimes. - He's like a little guest. - He is. He's like our-- - He's like a guard. - He's also been on our podcast, like, yes. He's the Jeffrey. - Yeah, he's Jeffrey. - He's like, I mean, he's been on our podcast also. Like, he's, we joke that he sits in the closet, so that whenever we need him, he just comes out as a guest. So he's been on like 10 times. - I love it. - He's like, thanks for following me on that. - Stay. - Stay, exactly. - That'll feel bad. - I don't know what video game you play, just stay in there. - Just stay in there. You can bring your drag or TV in there. So he'll come on sometimes. I do like cooking, but honestly, like, I've been doing that channel, my main channel, for so many years, and I feel like I also felt this like pressure because of old YouTube. You were posting on your schedule. Every Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, whatever it was, I felt so regimented to that schedule for so long that at one point, I was like, I think I'm also putting out content that I'm not in line with. - Slide it about, yeah, yeah. - Exactly. So I've taken a bit of a break from the main channel, but I'm definitely excited to bring it back. And then the, I vlog constantly, all the time. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - I'm so fascinated by that. - Really. - It is a skill I do not have at all. Trying, and especially like making content. Like, I benefit so much from Smosh of like, we come here and it's like, all right, we're doing the show and we start it now and we end it now. Whereas when I'm home and the thought of like, oh, I'll just make a video. I'm like, I don't know how to do it. And I don't know how to do it by myself. Like, I feed off of other people so much. So that's, I am so impressed by YouTubers such as yourself who do it 'cause I'm like, oh my gosh, like how? - It's almost like your work hours. You have to like create your own work hours to do it. - Yeah, yeah. - I got a work phone this year because for me-- - Thanks. - Thank you so much. It was, like the thing is making content, it can be hard, but obviously it's not brain surgery. We're not saving lives, it's not, it's nothing crazy. But the one thing is it never ends, like it never stops. You really have to be able to make it hours for yourself. So for me, the work phone was nice where I was like, work chats are moving here, I'll check it during work hours. And then, you know, on weekends it's in the charger, at night it's in the charger I'm not looking at it anymore. And that's been a really good divide for me. - Yeah, I think it's so necessary. For me, I started with that too 'cause I used to make a lot of videos all the time and then I became really full time at Smosh and then I was like, oh, that's where my work hours is. And then when I go home, I'm working as a mom. So I actually don't, I don't really have the time. And sometimes it's like, "Oh, I have to do something "when I get home." And it's like, I will say actually having a kid makes that stuff easier because you're like, "I have to use the time that I have to the fullest." So I'm gonna just do it. Like, my husband's holding the baby or whatever taking care of the baby. So I'm super focused. Whereas before I would procrastinate or be like, "Well, I can push it." It's like, actually I can't push it. I have to do it right now. That doesn't make sense. - It's a weird balance, but-- - Yeah. - So you've been doing YouTube for 13 years and you just gotta work fun a year ago, right? - Yeah. - You're like, "You know what? "I think this thing is sticking." - Yeah. - I called him a dad, let him know. I think this YouTube thing's working out. - Don't worry about it, dad. Don't worry about it. - Oh yeah, dad's like, "Remy." - Oh, my parents are so supportive. It's so sweet. They're so excited. My dad loves when he gets recognized at restaurants. (laughing) Did you say that? He loves it. - It's really funny. What about your mom? - My mom's like a lot more coy about it. She's like, and also my mom is very hyper aware where she's like, like recently she was in Korea and she like had a piece of trash she was with her friend and her friend was like, "Oh, I don't know where to put this." And she's like, "Well, you better not put it anywhere "because someone might be watching "Remy." And they'll see that you littered and she's like, "Oh, oh, oh." - She's like, "Oh, my God." - Oh, I think her, but she's like, "They're always, she's on her best behavior." As she should be. - You know what? I love that. - She's like, "Business, business, business." - But don't put that trash anywhere. Not even a trash can. - Oh, my God. - Are you properly recycling? - Yeah. - That's amazing. So, okay, so you've been watching Smoshmouth for, okay, a year and a half? - I guess so, yeah, when? - Oh, yeah. - With timing, I don't understand it. - Well, obviously when you guys put things out. - Right, no, that makes sense. I went on maternity leave last summer. - Oh, we, okay, really? - Yeah, I went on maternity leave last summer. - I will say. - But we filmed a lot. So actually, yeah, it was probably like the fall. - Okay. - You have a favorite show? Like our favorite episode of anything? Like is there a video that you're like, "That's the best one?" - Ooh, any werewolf game. - Yeah. - Like, we rewatched those over and over. I just though watched like two nights ago, the gentleman's werewolf. I didn't know about that one. Like my, again, my husband will like be like, "You gotta watch this one." So like, I'm watching them kind of out of order. - Sure. - But like, he's like, "This is a classic, this is a classic." - The gentleman's werewolf is so insane. - Of course, of course your husband would watch the gentleman's stuff if he loves to spend time with him. - Well, he loves it. - No. - You know, that was Mori, gentleman's Mori. But yeah, Spencer puts on that gentleman's hat and something happens to him. - Oh, he changes. - I don't know what goes on. - He becomes the most toxic man. - So do I, of course. - Yeah. - But Spencer becomes a toxic man and like Frankenstein. - He's in a casual way. You become toxic in a very aggressive. - Well, you, it's more passive. - Whenever you're playing a man, it is somehow the most toxic man. - It's for that building. - I'm healing. - You and Angela. (laughing) - We're healing ourselves. We want, it's so freeing. Are you kidding me? To be an awful man. It's just freeing, you know? - It's just healing the woman. - Yeah, just trying it out. - You put on a top hat. It's so easy to show off. - Absolutely. What are your guys' favorite ones to film? - A film. - We'rewolf is very fun, but it can get a little tense. - I love it. I get, I get, I get, I get competitive. But the as soon as we yell, cut, I'm like, all right, I'm done. But I'm like, in the moment, I'm like, in it. - He gets really, if you call him a werewolf, he's like, - I'm mad. - I hate you. - I'm pissed. - Okay, but you come down after filming, you're fine. - Immediately. - But how does everybody else feel? - I come down after filming. - There has never been a time after werewolf where I'm like, this is tense. We really do drop it. We just also get into it, like, 'cause we care, like we care about the stakes of it. I think where I almost care more is what I'm like, oh, I know this will be good for the video. If I catch the werewolf now, or if I get away with this right now, it'll be so good. So I get mad when I'm like, ah, like that ruined the moment or whatever. - I do love werewolf. I will say my favorite ever is when we do dread, like Smosh vs. Zombies. I don't know if you've seen those videos. - They're long. - They're really long. Smosh vs. Zombies, Smosh vs. Aliens. - Yes. - It's our RPG campaigns. It's a big thing of Jenga. And we're doing these like, I don't know, interactive, improvised character campaigns that are ending up horror. And we do have essentially like a DM in the middle. And we become these like tropey characters. And it's, you know, it's my favorite thing. It's like hours of improv. - It fluctuates by the week, I guess. We do so much different stuff. - We do so much stuff. - Um, I really think it just changes. But sometimes like, sometimes we'll be just sitting there playing board games or like a card game. Like we're playing Flip 7. And I'll be like, this is my job. I'm like, it's not, it's a job. It's like, when I play board games in real life, I'm not like a big talker while I'm playing board games. - Okay. - I'm a little more locked in. - Yeah. - Whereas when we're playing, I'm like, I got it. We got it. - Got a ham at all. - Be insane, mindless. - Yeah. - And I'm just like, this is wild. Like, you know. - I think it's such a special skill though, because like, yeah, with the board game, when you're playing with your friends, you are more quiet. But like the way that you guys are able to entertain while also doing it is, it's a special skill. It really is. - It's a very different zone. And if I may vent for a moment, something that's down, that I'm like paranoid about or that I think about a lot is, I, our fans will sometimes think like, I'm stupid. Because we're playing board games. - Yeah. - I'm not like locked in enough. And so like any sort of math thing that happens, or any sort of like trivia things, I'm not gonna do well. Because I'm like, I am out of my head right now. - Yeah, it's really sad. - And it's not that I'm much smarter in real life, but it's like, I'm like, I'm a little bit smarter. - You're definitely smart in real life. - If you, if we hit up a trivia night somewhere, and I'm not being on camera, and I'm not worried about being funny, I'm gonna be locked in a little bit more. - No, you're not. - You're smart. I think a man's gonna be a little harsh sometimes. We're like, Shane isn't slept. Why is he so tired? - I know, I'm like, yeah man. - Cool. - That's why that's when I started being like, yeah, by the way, we're filming this at 8 a.m. - Yeah, I do that too. I do that too. - Don't comment about my face. - Yeah. - But it's just part of it. I mean, you've been doing this for so long. Like, you just kind of like. - It's part of the hair makeup wardrobe. It's all, it's now like-- - And just every single thing we say and do, I think it's the most of the challenges of Smosh. It's like, we're going so much for making so much stuff, and it's so mindless. I mean, mindless in the sense that you can't think too much while we're doing what we do. That you're like, all right, I can't worry about what people are gonna judge or say. - Right. - Right. - You just gotta go and just be like, all right, they're gonna think I'm stupid. Whatever. - It makes you feel better. The amount of things I've said incorrectly over 13 years. Like, it just comes with the territory. - Oh yeah, I mispronounce so many words. - Oh, don't even get me started. I said 356 days. Wait, how many days are you-- 365, yep, I said 356, I actually don't actually know it. I said it twice. - I think you do have 356 days. - I think you-- - I think 'cause the stuff that you're doing, you must have more time. - I appreciate it guys, thank you. - 365, no. - No. - 365, 56. I'm saying you have more days in the year than we do. Wait, wait, wait. - Oh, no. - Oh, we were saying-- - I knew what you meant. Don't see where we go. - And thank you, and that's okay. This is our life, too. - And see, get it. - And this is what happened. - We get it. 356 days in the year. It's actually 365. - 365. - See what happened. - See? Okay, that's the thing. People don't get it, too. Like, and then the cameras are recording, and then it's just-- - And they go over. - And then people are-- - And then I know-- - It's like when I watched a survivor, I'm like, I could do that. And then I'm like, wait. - I'm like, I don't want football games. And I go, I could do that. - Thank you. - And then I would die. - Mm-hmm. - Yeah, well-- - Wait, there's something I really wanted to do before we go. I want to-- - You're just like-- (laughing) - I really want to do it. - I've been holding it apart for half a year. (laughing) And Remy, it's your hair. There's something I really want to do. Guess the fart. Okay, no. I am pledging that I am going to cook something in this cookbook in the next week, but it's going to be a surprise. - Ooh. - Okay, you guys say stop. - Stop. - Thank you. - Wait, stop. - What? - And you're just like-- - Ooh. - Sus is cornflake potato casserole. - Oh my god. - Is it every holiday? - Yeah, that's our holiday favorite. I love that one. It's so good. - Okay, guys, I am going to make Remy's-- - So who's Sus? - That's my mom. - Oh my god, your mom. Sus is cornflake potato casserole. You'll have to tell her that I'm going to make this the next week. - Maybe I was going to say you could save it for a holiday. Do you have any holidays coming up? 'Cause it's pretty decadent. - Easter. Easter something. - No. - No. - No. - My wedding anniversary's coming up. - What? - In May. There we go. - There you go. - There you go. - Yay, I love it. - Oh, I can't wait. Anything was cereal on the top. I'm going to love it. - I love cereal. - I cannot wait. - I'll be 20 espresso martinis in by then. - Yeah. - Perfect. - Perfect. (all laughing) - Remy, thank you so much for coming on. - Thank you guys for having me. This was a dream come true. I also keep looking at camera. I hope that's okay. - Oh, of course it's okay. - Yeah, get beside it, bring it up. - Where can people get your book? - You can get it. Local bookstore, Amazon. I think if you just go to like Simon and Schuster.com, you can see anywhere you could buy it. So check it out. - I'm so, do I get to keep this one? - You can. And if you'd like, I was like, I don't know if anybody wants to, but you're welcome to keep it. Oh, I'm keeping it. These look incredible. Are you kidding me? I have to make my recipe. Yeah, that's true. And my muffins. That's your muffins. That's your muffins. I gotta make the chicken wings. Yeah, you do. Yeah. I do. Yeah. Actually, I have to, at least. Exactly. Well, thank you so much for joining us. Thank you. It's such a pleasure. Thank you. All right. Well. Bye, guys. See you later. Bye, guys. Bye. I'm 56 days. Yeah. Yeah. Don't leave that. I can't believe I did it again. I know. I got sucked into it and I did it. Man. And I'm going to let that fart out. [LAUGHTER]
