Smosh creates a comedic and immersive episode centered around Foley sound art—the hidden craft of designing realistic sound effects for films and videos. The team, led by Tommy, experiments with a variety of sound scenarios, from a fictional heist at the Louvre to a mock surgery, using everyday objects to generate authentic noises. Through these playful challenges, they highlight how sound design is essential yet often unseen in media. The episode also explores deeper themes of creative control and authenticity, emphasizing that allowing spontaneity—like in a clowning workshop—leads to more genuine, emotionally resonant moments. The hosts reflect on the meditative qualities of sensory experiences such as ASMR, doctor exams, or cleaning, which evoke calm through rhythm and touch. They celebrate the artistry and unpredictability of Foley work, noting that it demands intuition and experimentation. The experience reinforces the idea that humor and connection thrive when creators let go of perfection and embrace raw, unscripted moments. Ultimately, the episode blends humor, education, and emotional insight, showing how sound—not just visuals—plays a vital role in storytelling and audience engagement.
Hi, welcome to Smoshmouth. I'm Shane and I'm Amanda and we have a wonderful guest with us today Tommy hold on guys. I'll be right there It's gonna be good. It's gonna be good. They're gonna love this one. Okay, I'll be right there guys. Oh, it's gonna be really good God you shoot Oh Okay guys, I made it. Sorry. Thank you Tommy. Thank God For people watching and listening you probably just heard a bunch of sounds Realistic believeable and exciting that sounds from someone who's hot. He was running down the stairs in high heels and fell Today we have a bunch of Foley props This was a pitch we had months ago, we're like what if we did an episode where we do Foley sound Yeah, I remember that day. I think if I recall correctly, you were sitting there and you're like wait a second Fuck Fuck hold on hold on you were like wait a second Fuck if anyone's curious about how we come up with ideas at Smosh. That is It was doing it and then when Shane came up with the idea we all went Cheers There it is and then a frog came out and it was like I've never used one of these before. I also just want to say we respect the actual art and craft of Foley because it seems Really hard see this is what we do on Smosh. We go we want to try that let's try it and we do the stupidest worst version And I'm not sure how hard yeah, I'm not sure it's gonna go well But we have a bunch of Foley props and we brought our most talented Foley artist Tommy sounds noises It's what I like because I don't words well. He actually is very very good at sounds I think Tommy does actually think in sounds and noises. Yeah, that's probably right. Oh, yeah during the pandemic I stood this is how the make that sound game started when I pitched that one of the many get get things that I've pitched at work And I was with my boyfriend at the time and he was playing video games and they had such little like And I would just sit there and echo them like a strange little parrot. It was the best then I was like wait We got to do this well the last time you're on. I think it was when we did the cartoon sounds. Yes, where I did really well And you did way better. Oh, yeah, yeah Yeah, such a good one Oh And also I feel like I see so many comments of people talking about how this is a podcast which is an audio medium, but Such we do so much visual shit. I know how I saw an audio anymore. I know they're fully just a video Everything is a podcast everything you and your mom and the car it's kind of the you on the toilet It's the cast of a cereal with food right where isn't ever a salad. Everything's a salad, right? What is the argument? Like everything's a salad. Everything's a salad. Let me get some cups for us to sit down for this conversation I think it was Noah who said this like 10 years ago to me that everything's a salad because a salad is what is a salad It's a combination of of things that's so true and every plate of food is a combination of things So that's so it's like it's not oh Shane idea Guys, that was a legitimate Shane idea. Wait, that's that feels like old new stations Remember or like radio stations we'll be right back with Skugam and McGuggy and before that we've got another episode of Shane idea on BBC 2 Hello and welcome to Shane ideas What are you doing and also some kid in the back of the ring roblox?

Whoa Okay, guys this episode's gonna be really artistic and very Losing our minds. We're not losing our minds. We're having the polar opposite type of losing our minds right now because We've been in the middle of the move So we actually haven't been filming anything. We've like kind of been nuts. I think a few months ago We were losing our minds because we were filming so much So now it's a different thing where it takes a second to start the engine I think from yeah, and I will say I I'm so into I don't know When we pitch Foley, I was like yes, I'm so into it because you don't realize like every show every movie. It's all Foley It's all Foley right every time I see someone in a kitchen in a movie when they're in the kitchen just doing kitchen stuff You know there's a guy in a closet. Yeah, but I don't think people know that They're right behind the camera make your sound yeah make your um Good sound That person is very thirsty. They were just buried alive and they needed something to drink. I This is I'm very excited for our audio listeners to comment on this shit because they don't show up see the items You're picking up the sounds just happen. I think they're I think it's I don't know if they're gonna go our way I think we're gonna do just fine. I think we're gonna do just fine. I think we're gonna do just fine This doesn't involve a prop, but this is um Me on a swing explaining the plot of Buffy the Vampire Slayer Okay, so in season one it's a little bit more like monster of the week and then later on in season two You get spike introduced and they start to do like a little bit more of a like regular thing And then season three is absolutely it's peak, but uh season four it kind of goes up and down and then I can't Then but season hey kid get off that swing.

Watching Shane get actually so overwhelmed in that moment You're you want we're not gonna lose your job Watching the Shane get actually spooked. He looks like he was his first job. Wait, do I not know how to use this? I was like what the fuck it looks like it was your first day on the job and like you could have gotten You didn't hit that was an emergency for you. I look like we know when it's like the L.A. Heart of Philharmonic and there's a guy who has the one thing. Okay, so he does it. He's like I think about the orchestra orchestra. The guy I think about the orchestra Are we cutting the moment away? I'm cutting that idea No, tell me about the orchestra. No, I think about the orchestra when I sit back and watch it sometimes And there's just the guy in the back like He's just waiting so desperately for his time and I I feel so much stress for him If you've got if you've got a billion notes to play you can get one wrong But if you've got one note to play oh, yeah, and you're one of like several right? If you're in the like For your one guy or the the clarinet. It's like okay. I mess up But there's a few of us. They don't know who did it who did it? It's kind of like how back in the day You know with that was gonna say I was gonna say an Ian fact Say an Ian fact a horrible Ian oh, one of the horrible horrible Ian fact. I don't know why my brain went to this It's like back in the old days, and it's like oh like execution by firing squad They would it'd be like oh several of them have blanks and only one has a real bullet so they get to all be like We don't know who actually is this an is this an Ian fact that he told you are I that's a fact that I've heard But I feel like that's but I feel like playing a clarinet.

To be honest, I'm kind of scared to like make noises 'cause for some reason I'm like, oh, this will be easy. And now I'm like, I think now that it's placed in front of us, we realize the reality of the situation. - Yeah, we're more doing soundboard art as opposed to fully art. - Right. Okay, can I do one thing though? - I would love if you would do one thing. - Just one thing. - More than one thing. - This is Angela coming in to a meeting late with her coffee, hold on.

(coughing) - Pooped. And that. (coughing) - It's a Tommy moment. - Everyone loved it. - Do these buttons? - Yes, the buttons play. - Oh. - Yeah, that's how it sounded so crisp. (crickets chirping) - Do you know what it's like? - Is that Mary had a little lamb, but wrong? (crickets chirping) - Let him have this. - I'm trying to figure out the notes here. - You know that I wanted to move on, but I won't. - No, we're gonna stay here until we figured it out. - Okay. (crickets chirping) - Okay, that was really good. - It was really good. - I'm sorry, I fucking found it. - No, you killed it. - Yeah, it was quite good. - It was great. - I realized. - I'm actually kind of controlling sometimes. (laughing) - You realize it now? - Yeah. - Sometimes you gotta let go of it. - I said it to my husband the other day. I said, "Am I kinda controlling?" And he was like, "Yeah, a little bit." And I was like, "Oh my God." - And then he said, "Can I come out now?" (laughing) And I said, "Oh, stay in there." Idiot. - Can I? - No, you don't have to realize. It's not that I wanna control you 'cause I don't think you're gonna do a good job. I wanna control you because I want them. I know that it's, I kinda know how to have a good moment. And then I realized, "What the fuck?" That's kind of egotistical. - So you're going, "Damn, he's flopping over there." I better save his ass. - To be fair, yeah, it happened. - Yeah, but then I went, "Amanda, let him flop." - Yeah. - Why is it so hard to just let him flop and have people kind of around go, this isn't really the best time, but it's okay. Why can't I let that happen? - We need more clowning classes so that you can truly - Yeah, really do. - God, let it go. - Guys, I'm not even kidding. Last night, I was in bed going, "Oh my God, am I controlling?" (laughing) And H and I talked about it for probably 30 minutes. And he wasn't like, "Yeah, I'm fine even waiting." - And then you said after a minute, you said, "I'm done talking about this." - No, he just went, "Why do you think that?" And I realized sometimes I'm afraid to like, say what I want to do because I'm worried that people will be like, "Well, I don't want to do that." And he's like, "Why can't you just say what you want to do and set the path and let people have their own journeys in your path?" - Wow. - Oh, guru. - Yeah, and I was like, "Oh," and I said, "but what if someone's having a bad time in their journey?" And he said, "Let them." - Yeah, yeah. - That's not on you. - Exactly. - And I was like, "Whoa!" - That's their journey. - So that whole moment where Shane was trying to play, about mommy had a little lamb or whatever, the effort's called. - Mommy had a little lamb. - I don't know. - It's from the perspective of Maryson. - I just sat there and went, this is my time to practice. - Sitting. - Sitting. - And letting him have his own journey. And you said, "Let them." And I went, "Ah!" Anyways. - Thank you for sharing that beautiful moment. - You're welcome. - No, don't cut it, don't cut it. - Okay. - No, you're welcome. - But you can scoop it with a ball. - When you have a child, you have so many aha moments. It is, it is the hardest thing ever, but then you go, "Whoa!" I got to that aha moment so fast. - Yeah, that's awesome. - Yeah, yeah. Every month you-- - Every month. - Every month. - You grow a whole lifetime. - Alright, so two people are gonna do voices. One person's gonna do the sounds. - Looks like Tommy's ready. - We're gonna get, Selena's gonna give us a scenario. - Okay. - I would love to do the sounds. - Yeah. - Okay. - I thrive in the background. I'm ready to go. - Good, 'cause clearly sounds-- - Not my thing. - Shane, that's not true. You guys are a surgeon and an assistant operating in the operating room. - Okay, hold on. Let me, let the, - I'll be the assistant. - Let the artist grab what he needs first. - We're gonna let the artist prepare. - A surgeon and the assistant and the office. - So I'll be the assistant, 'cause I don't like blood and you do. You watch the pit. - Do you not watch the pit? - No. - Shane, I couldn't watch ER, and that's the original, the pit. - Okay, so do we know what's wrong with the patient? - Well, I'm the doctor, so I'm gonna figure it out. - Whoa, okay, you're right, you're right. - Okay, assistant doctor, I know this is your first day, but this is the teaching hospital. - Yes. - So this is how we do things, all right? Are you ready? We're going in this patient, not looking good. They're unresponsive. Okay, I need you to hand me, I need you to hand me the utensils. - Yes, Doc. - The medical utensils. - I'll hand you the medical utensils. - Hand them to me. - Scalpel. Let me just get it. - Yeah. Could you sharpen the scalpel a little bit for me? - Yes, of course. - Okay, nice, I get it real nice and sharp. Careful, there's sparks coming out of that light. Oh, gosh. - Oh, I got burned. - Oh, it started a small fire. We started a small fire on the patient. - Let me get some water and put it out. - Yeah, pour out, pour it.
Oh, oh my god, I got it, I put it out. Thank goodness. Okay, can you plug in the monitor and check the vitals. Oh yeah, I unplugged the monitor by accident because I tripped over it when you lit it on fire. Okay, let's check the vitals. Can you type in some things on that monitor really quick? What's great about the monitor is that it only does it once a minute, so you don't need to know it. See, there it is. Once a minute. Okay, let me check the vitals, just going to type in what exact vitals to put in. Oh, okay, so I be profan 800 milligrams vitals. Okay, good. Because he's in a lot of pain.

What do you think? - Oh, yes, I would love that beer. - A sandwich of celebration. - Oh, shit. - Oh, okay, let me on, let me on, let me on wrap it first. - Okay. - Let me on wrap it first. (plastic rustling) - Oh, yeah. - There we go, it's a quick long fresh sourdough. - Okay, time to eat. - Oh, you dropped your balls. (laughing) - I know, I should taste this. I will get to the balls now when I can get to eat me. - Oh, there you are. - Do you want to see it? - Yeah, like you always do. - Because so much, I'm gonna go pick up my balls now. - Oh, and then pop it right into the magnetic balls testicle. - Yes, we are made out of metal. That is what nobody knows. How was that? - Oh, but how was that? - That was awful, that was so hard. My brain cannot think about what makes sound. - And you know what Amanda, we were watching you struggle and we said we're gonna let her. We're gonna let that happen. - We're gonna let her have her up journey, even though we're not gonna try to do anything about this. - Guys. - I am so curious what this journey was like for audio listeners. - I'm sure, what's the fun with that? - I'm not sure. - I'm not sure. - It was really hard to like come up with eating a sandwich. - Well, you did it at the end, which was-- - Gabby. - What is this? - What is this? - I think that was my favorite moment, was you squeezing the ball, that makes no noise. - It makes no noise, but then I put them together and went. - Well, when you slammed them together, they made like a, what happened to my throat? - When you slammed them together, now when you have them with two balls and you slammed them together, it made a good noise. - No, nothing, guys, it's nothing. - Pass it. That was a nice light noise. - Really good catch. - I thought that this could sound like a helicopter. - No, it can't, it actually cannot. - It actually, that's the thing with Foley artist is like, you think something's gonna work and then you go, that's not right at all. - That's why it's a craft, you have to like learn what makes what noise. - Oh, wild life, 'cause they just must be out and just catch a noise, be like, well, what was it? - A hundred percent. - This one was sick. That was probably the only good thing I did. - That was perfect. - You nailed that. - That was perfect. - That was awesome. - That sounded incredible when you did that. - Love that shit. - Thanks, guys. - Is this something of porcelain nature? - Oh, I didn't even touch that. - I didn't. - Being a Foley artist is hard. - What, what's that? One of my favorite, what happened to my throat? One of my favorite noises. - There's nothing like swimming without a life raft than doing Foley. - I'm sorry. - On the spot. - On the spot. - So Foley artists actually have the time to choose what they want. - They have a warehouse floor. - No, we're making this hard. I don't think any Foley artist just sits there with a bunch of toys and goes, - And figures out what to do in the moment. - The love that this is live. - So I have a ceramic thing here. And this has nothing to do with Foley. This is just a sounds idea. - Oh yeah, do a sounds idea. - There was a little judgment in there. - Oh no, not at all. No, genuinely. - Okay, remember what we learned? We let go. (laughing) - See what? - What's unfortunate is that was me genuinely excited. So now I don't know the difference. - No! - And then it's locked up for us. - I'm lost in the abyss. Okay, we're done. Go, please. - Okay, I just love the sound of our ceramic lid leaving a ceramic thing. - Oh. - I might not be able to get it the first time, but I'll go, that, when I get it right. - Okay. (clucking) - That's good. - Not like. (clucking) - Ooh. (clucking) - Okay, I gotta stop. I'm gonna come. (laughing) - That's, okay, now we're doing ASMR. I will say, I did watch ASMR videos. - Yeah. - And my favorite was like,
- Like, what was like the crunchy-- - Soaps? - Yes, oh my god, soaps. - There's one soap that gets me. And it's when they go, they like pop it, crunch it. - And they have sparkles in in the middle, I've seen that, where they cut the soap. - Yeah, and they're really pretty sliced. - See, that stuff doesn't get me as much. - Like, get me-- - You get ASMR from what? - I've mentioned that, I don't know if, I think I sometimes get the like, 'cause it's like, it's the response. - Right, and it's not an audio thing. - It's just-- - It doesn't have to be an audio response or audio thing specifically, but I get it from the doctor stuff. - The doctor stuff? - Doctor stuff, which I guess are based in real like things where it's like, they'll do the, they'll do that. Okay, we have a, it'll be a person with their eyes closed and be like, okay, we have like a sharp, like roller thing, and then like a feather. It's like, tell us if it's sharp or dull. And they'll, they'll roll like this. - Is it happening here? - You're watching a video watching a video. - Why don't I know what this is at all? - I've never heard of this. - I don't, I don't, like the ones where they're like, at the camera, they're like, "Okay, so we're gonna do this." - I'm like, I kind of like it. - But I like it, I'm watching like a doctor exam happening, where they're like, okay, we're gonna test out some things here, and for some reason that captivates me. - Whoa! - And when I, I look back and I was like, oh, when I would go to the doctor, if I go to the doctor and they check your breathing, where they put the cold so cold on their back. - Yeah, that, I get like kind of ASMR response, 'cause I'm just like, okay, like this is, I don't know what it is. I cannot explain it, but sounds and stuff don't necessarily do it. - You like touch, like sensory stuff. - But it's like, but I'm not, I don't have to, like if I'm watching it happen, it almost is fine. I think it's more the procedure of like, okay, it's a thing where you have no choice but to kind of like, sit there and-- - Do you want to get surgery? - No, that sounds awful. And most doctor things are awful, but it's like, the specific ones that aren't painful, where it's just kind of like, okay, we're just testing a thing, and like I'd say, I don't think this gave me a response, but when I went and got my eyes tested, and they're just kind of like, okay, now tell us what you're seeing here, okay, now just tell us what you're seeing here, like that is kind of a relaxing zone. - It is meditative, 'cause you're just like-- - I think it's meditative for me. I don't know if it's an R. - I don't know if I like it. - What gives you meditation in that way? What's your physical ASMR experience? - Honestly seeing things get organized and cleaned. - That's it? - And then also, yeah, I love things getting like, hey, see this dirty thing? I'm gonna clean it. - Oh, go with it. - It's a different response when they shave off a horse's hoof. - Okay, I can't, I can't do that. - Really? - Shane, I can't do that. - No, I can't do that. - All I'm thinking about is this horse, and why do they abuse? And I feel that, and is he gonna get kicked? - And I keep going, so that's like a big fingernail, so don't be grossed out, but then it's not fingernail, at some point, just like your fingernail, so where does it stop? - Not thought. - And then there's like, goopy shit. - No, that stuff, I'm like, I feel the horse's relief. I'm like, oh, thank God. - But I don't want to see someone clean out their ears. - No, I don't like that. - I don't like that. - But I like, I love soap being cut. I love watching people go, I tried this new thing in my shower and watching them do this whole new shower cleaning situation. - Oh, you watch cleaning videos too. - I love cleaning videos, and I love literally, when people have gorgeous, long-ass nails that are incredible, and they make a bunch of sparkly things, and then they squeeze the sparkly things with their nails, like slime. - Yeah, the slime stuff, I'm not into the slime stuff. - Sets. - But that's more of like a visual, is that an audio or a visual thing or both? - That's a visual thing. Audio, weirdly. There was this one girl who did ASMR, and she always had incredible makeup on, and she did like her lip gloss, and I was like, I'm so into that. It was like, (mimicking sound effect) and then she'd be like, (mimicking sound effect) and she'd go, (mimicking sound effect) and also watching people do their makeup really well, I'm so into it. - I used to be huge into that, yeah. - Yeah, it's a huge community. I love it. - I love it. - It's around a long time, and it just stays as big. There's a guy, let me grab some things. (laughing) - There is a guy, there's a weird type of ASMR that I think is a sound thing, but there's also like, I think the correlation for me, is that there's kind of a purpose to it, like there has to be something kind of happening at that, and there's a guy who goes around, and he checks, he inspects home for damaged wood. So he has this like, he has this like metal, like kind of like a big nail thing, and he goes around houses, and he taps on wood and he finds like where there's damaged wood, so it'll poke a hole in it, so he'll be going around a house, and he'll be like, (mimicking sound effect) and he'll just be like tapping around window sills, tapping around the home, and then occasionally, it'll like crunch in. - Oh. - And he'll put a little flag in there of like, okay, like this is-- - What damage is-- - Oh, so you like like purpose-filled sounds, and there's kind of like a purpose, like that's what the medical work stuff, I'm like, oh, they're testing-- - You're like a mission. - Yeah, I'm like, there's a part of it. - So do you, but you're cleaning. But the soap is a waste, but that's all right. - The soap is a waste, but I do like when people have like gorgeous nails, and they do like, I love watching people do intense makeup. Also, 'cause it's like, and they use all their colors, and they're like, this color, and you're just like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. - Oh, my gosh. - Oh, my gosh. - And both of you know what wood soup is, right? - Yeah, yeah, I love wood soup. - Wood soup? - You never have wood soup. - I'm not gonna be able to replicate it exactly 'cause there needs to be water. - Oh, I have-- - But-- - I never thought to take the balls out of the bag. - The world is yours, Damien. (laughs) - Yeah, I don't have to-- - The world is yours, take your balls out of the bag. - Take your balls out of the bag. - So I'm a big fan of big balls. - I'm good. - In wood soup? - Good. (laughs) - Big cut stuff. - I just love hearing that big. - Yeah, really small, really short. - Good, yeah. - Big fan of big, big balls in my wood soup. - I hope so. - And, so this is little balls. 'Cause the big balls go, the kind, well, maybe I could do it, like, they're really like-- - Almost like when you play pool on those balls head-- - Oh, it's just too light. - When those balls hit? - I know what you're talking about. Big, big wooden balls. - Okay, I think I might be able to replicate. - Yeah. - I'll pick that up. - No, not quite. - I think wood sounds-- - I think wood sounds, I like a lot. - I'm gonna try and do a-- - I'm gonna try and do a-- - They almost feel like kind of soft. - Hi, and welcome to Tommy's Woods. Okay, I can't get the microphone. Welcome to Tommy's Woods Soup Adventure. I'm Tommy, and today we'll be discussing. The first five ideas I had were crazy. Things to say, so I'm just gonna do the wood soup. (blender whirring) - Oh, there we go. - Would it be better if it was in a wooden bowl? - It would be better if it was in a wooden bowl, and it would be better if there was water in it. - Do you know what this is reminding me of? The Korean spa, when you go in the clay room? - Yeah, I love the clay room. - Oh my God, the sound, and that room is my favorite room, 'cause you just go in and you're like, I'm on a bunch of little balls. - Yeah, I'm on a bunch of little balls. - We tied that for you? - No. - I think wood sounds are probably my favorite sounds. Like just any form of like, - That's nice. - Oh that's nice. - A little chalkboard. - You're like writing in the olden times. - That could also give me ASMR maybe, is if it's just like, it's like, all right, and tell us what you're feeling. Okay, so. - Okay, and we're gonna measure your forehead here, and okay, got that measurement? - He likes mission. - Big forehead. - He likes mission. - And we're still measuring your forehead. - He likes mission. - Miles wide. - And we're writing that down. Unfortunately-- - That actually sounds really good. - Yeah, my brain is not big, but my forehead is wide. - My forehead is wide. - My forehead. - You guys have really good French accents. - I think we, I think we, I think we, - I think we, I think we, - I actually think we, like, - I've got a little too crazy in it. - I would like for a few French fans to like, say, I know that the mind wasn't good, but can they say if it got better throughout the scene? - I wasn't paying attention because I was having, like, a small mental breakdown over here, but everything was sounded good on my-- - Sounded good. - Sounded good. - Sounded good. - I, I think forever ago I said, like, I don't think we have any French fans, and we had some comments of like, oh, I'm French and I, but I was like, I'm French and I don't like this. - Live. - People who live. - Yeah, we actually have most French haters. We only have French haters. - This is not good. - I watch, I do not like. - I don't know what you guys talk about, but it's nothing. - It's funny sometimes at all. - I think I have a hard time imagining someone living in France and finding anything we do amusing. And I don't know why that is. - I do kind of agree with you because they seem like, they seem like, yeah. I'll keep this with me. - The F1 pit stop. (gasps) - New technicians are breaking up. - Is a car coming in? - Yeah. - Vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom. - I love F1. I watch all the F1. - Oh, okay, do you want to-- - Why am I crazy? - You're gonna do the car. - Okay. - We could all do all stuff. - I think we should all do stuff. - We'll share the responsibility of stuff. - I think we should, yeah. - Okay, okay, okay. - Which team? - Red Bull. - Red Bull? - I don't wanna spoil anything, but something bad happened with Red Bull. - Well, so you're not spoiling anything if it's happening in real life. - Okay. - You guys are breaking up? - Maybe it's, we just were the French. - Oh. - YouTube break up. - I'll break up with Shane. - Okay. - Oh, okay. - Oh, sorry. - No, if you wanna break up with-- - I know. - I'm not taking control. If you wanna break up with me, you can. - Something more is happening than the scene right now. - I'm gonna zip my lip. - Okay, I'm so lame. - Okay, they're coming around the corner. - Oh, shit, they're moving so fast. - Get ready, I wanna get my car in again.
- Okay, all right, all right, let's get this, let's get this all figured out. - All right boys, my engines gave me some bullshit. - My tires feel like my ass 'cause I sit down. - All right. - Okay, oh good, looks like you've got to be engine up good. - All right, actually, this typically happens in two seconds, so. - All right, I'll be all, I'll be on my way. - Whoa! - Okay, Jeff. - Oh, that was really, that was really stressful. (laughing) - That was really stressful. - Jeff, I need to tell you. - I gotta unload my shirt. - Whoa, okay. Here, hold on, I just need to stretch my leg really quick. Ah, okay. - Mike, you gotta get that look at that. - I know, my ACL is just fucked up. They're going out there. - McLaren is really shooting past everybody. - Listen, I wonder if, yeah. - Just, you know, so to say. - Oh, wow, God, Toto's going to be freaking psychs, 'cause the cars are way up ahead. He's not McLaren though. - Yeah, okay, Jeff. - He's Mercedes. - I get it, you know so much about our job. - I know so much about F1, and that's my plan. - Work's been really crazy, and I think I need to focus on it a little bit right now. - Oh, God, my pants are actually so tight. - Okay, great. - Yeah, I'm just going to grab. - These cars are flying. - I'm going to grab some soup really quick. - You know what, Mike, I told you not to eat soup. - I'm allowed to eat soup on the job. - God, you're, hey. - You know what? - You want soup? - Oh. - You hear for soup? - Yeah, we have the soup line right here by the pit stop. - Yeah, the soup line. - You want the soup? - This is this is Mary. - Super go. - She's been working super well. - Super go. - Don't sit here in line, soup. - No, you get soup and you go. - I don't sit in line. - Don't sit in line. - I'm a job, Mary. - Mary. - Okay. - You're a nice woman, and I'll take tomato basil. - Tomato basil, coming up. - Got it, Mike. - You want bread or not? - Woo. - Yeah. - Tight. - It is a soup. - It's crazy, 'cause it's a one. - One stop shop. - One stop shop. - Oh God, another car's coming in. Oh God, bread. - All right, hold on. We gotta fix it, we gotta fix it. - Yeah, we gotta fix it. - Ah. - Okay, here we go. - Boy, just be again, here is some run by you. - Boo, boo, boo. - Boo. - All right, actually, I need you to take the back door off. It's though, I need some wind in mine. - All right, I'm gonna take the back door off. - I'm gonna take the back door off. - We added some wind indoors. - Yeah, we added some wind indoors on this. It makes it lighter. - Okay, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, tighten the wheels. (mimics wheelie noises) (mimics wheelie noises) - This is the tightest wheels I ever heard. - Yeah, there's wheels that are tight. - There's the tight. - All right boys, I'm gonna be off one more time. Something going on between you two, I feel like there's maybe a break going on, I'm gonna go ahead and step off. - No, I'm not, I'm not, I wouldn't say. Look, Jeff, Jeff, I gotta be honest here. - Yeah, mine. - I'm gonna triple this basketball while I'm talking to you. - Let me take my pants off again. - Look. - Oh God, there's stuck on my penis. - Keep your pants on, Jeff. - Stuck on my penis. - John, I can't, I can't do this anymore, Jeff. - Are you serious? - I, I just feel like you don't let me breathe. - Why? - I feel like you don't let me go on my own path sometimes. - Oh, is this 'cause I moved in and I told you to change up your bedroom 'cause it was ugly? - No, it was, and it was, I liked my bedroom, okay? - You had movie posters everywhere. - Air will be blood is a good movie. It's my favorite movie. - Only toxic men say that. - That's bullshit, it's a great movie. - Mike, Daniel Day Lewis is crazy in that movie. - Yeah, exactly. - And that's your favorite? - Yeah. - Oh, would it be better if it was Boogie Nights? - Boogie Nights is awesome. Or, or fucking, whatever. - This is all you do, all you do is compare what I like, compared to what I like. - I'm the heart of everyone. - All right, everything's falling apart. I need the most. - I've got the upper hand. - I've ever had on this arc, wait. I'm losing the race, boys, the sipping pass. - Let me open the trunk real quick. - Oh, good, you're mine. (laughs) Hope everything looking good in the trunk. - Everything looks good. - All right, body's still there. - All right. - Great. - Body still there. (buzzer) - All right, let's-- - I motorboated the tires. - Let me just get the rims back on. - Yeah, get those rims back on. - Click 'em on, click 'em on. - All right, I'm off. And whenever you've got going on, you better wrap that up, boy. - Oh, we're wrapping it up. - We're gonna wrap that up, - You're gonna wrap that up, - and because I cannot get out of bed here. - Just do not cry out there. - All right, I'm going, I'll see you all later, boys. - All right. (laughs) - Jeff, I can't do this. - Are you breaking up with me? - I'm breaking up with you. - Fine, I'm breaking up with you too. - You can't do that. I've already broken up with you. - We're done. And I'm gonna move out my stuff tonight. Because you know what? - I already moved your shit out. (gasps) - What do you want to eat? - Are you serious? (claps) You're clapping, really? - I'm dribbling a basketball, but yeah. - No, looks to me like you're clapping. Let me get my jacket on, and you know what? You can handle the car by yourself. - Fine. - Jacket's on. - Shirts buttoned. - Good. - You know what? I'm fucking outta here. - Good, why don't you clonk away? - I will. - My tin shoes. (laughs) My tin shoes that I got on Instagram? - Yeah. - We're the wrong choice. - It's embarrassing. You're embarrassing. - Fuck you. - Yeah, walk away. - Fuck you. - Yeah, walk away. I don't wanna talk to you anymore. - And that was a smosh moment. - Thank you for listening to our, our really cool scene. - Well. - I think this episode has been-- - I think this episode has been killer. - It's been exactly what we thought it would be when we threw this out. - It's been so fun to go. - It's been so fun. - I think we need to make this a weekly, other thing. - I think that should be the only thing we do on the show. - I think every episode we should start with fully. - I don't think fans want to know anything more about us. I don't think they want to hear us talk. I think they just-- - We just want some sounds. - Yeah. - We just want some sounds. - This was really helpful, because it really is this episode. - I know. (laughs) - Yeah, you were being disowned that that was really confident, and I did that bit a lot. - To know what the sound is gonna be. - Yeah. - I wish I'd had that when I did the robot who was using the urinal earlier that could have had a zipper. - That was fun. - But I had to make it up on my own. - Yeah. - Yeah. - I really think those did sound like F1 cars flying around the track. They really did. It was really cool. - That was really cool. - It was really great. - Oh, so what's going on? - I already told you guys, my deep-- - You really did go in. - I went in, you know why? 'Cause life's too effing short. - Yeah, it is too short. It is. - Wait, we mentioned this. With a little bit of time we have left, we mentioned this, and I don't think we've talked about it on the podcast. - I think we've only been going for 15 minutes. - It hasn't been four hours. (laughs) - Selena fled to the side, it's like 10 minutes. - Yeah, I'm like-- - I'm like-- - Oh, shit. - What are we gonna say? - We did a clowning workshop. - Yes, we did a clowning workshop. - Yes, we did. - And we've not talked about it, but it was the best thing I've done. - We have not talked about it, and my plan is to do it again. - Good, fantastic. - Because it was so amazing to not use words to just be completely in our bodies, and also the thing with clowning is, the audience is everything. - Yes. - The audience helps you decide, or it doesn't help you decide. It forces you to decide what to do next. - Yeah, 100%. And what I love so much is like being like, do we like this? No, so when you find something that you like, and then you try to like, ooh, I'm getting confident, I like this, and then you expand on it, and then it's like, hmm, well, we didn't like that. - Right. - And we don't like it anymore. - What were you guys really? What were you guys laughing at the most? - I was like-- - Like as an audience member. - The most, the more like raw and like-- - Yeah, it was the roster. - The less-- - It was like the person was genuine about it, the genuineness. - I was the people getting surprised by themselves for me. - Yes, 100%. - Yeah, and I will say like, I think everybody, it's like, you have to move past like the cringe. - 100%. - 'Cause it's about failure. And I think everybody in that workshop, I saw like, like the cringiest moments, but also some of the funniest moments from everyone that I've ever seen. - Yes. - And it was amazing to watch. - 'Cause stripping down those cringy moments, you get to like gold, and then you go, - Oh my god. - This is this person's essence. - Yes. - Completely. - 100%. - It was amazing. It was just really nice to connect with like the foundation of funny, you know? 'Cause like you can get really heady with like writing and words and stuff, but to just really be like, right, timing, goofy, go. - What are you laughing at? - Foundation, yes. - I mean the three speeches, that show way back in the day. - Oh yeah. - They weren't saying anything. - Just going, boom, boom. - Yeah. - And I think some people went in thinking like, oh clowning is clowning, performative. - Yeah. - But what I loved about the classes, it was like, no. - There was no props, no nothing. - Not, it's actually not really performative. It's you, it's you living in the moment and reacting to the audience either laughing - Yeah. - Or having like a response. - Yeah, yeah. We did this really cool exercise. I feel like, when I was telling people about this, they really liked hearing this. We did this exercise where there was like three of us at a time, and we would go on stage, and it would be like, okay, do something to try and make us laugh. And then we would just try to do something. No words, make a choice, go great. And then we would try and find, so we'd get a little laugh, we'd get a laugh or two. And then our coach would be like, okay, so how do you feel about it? And you'd go, I don't know, and she goes, okay, try something else. And we keep trying.
until we find a bit, and then we swap out with other people, they do the same thing, and then you gotta come back, and you're like, okay, well, I'm gonna do the bit again, because that's what worked, but then it only works once. And then you gotta go, how am I gonna evolve this bit? Or do I just change the bit entirely? And you're just truly drowning out there. And you have to, and you're just forced to try, and I loved the like, okay, so we don't like it. - We're not liking it. - We don't like it, and you go, uh-huh, you're that said, it's kind of therapeutic, 'cause by then and past, we didn't care if we heard that or not. - Well, I'm like, good. I know, now I know that you don't like it. - 'Cause you can feel it. - 100%. - And that's why when you have a performed, written performance, and you're like, oh, they're not liking it. - Well, I've locked in. - I'm locked in, but when you do an improv scene, I think we ignore that. We like, well, well, we'll fuck that, fuck the audience, and it's like, why would you? - That's what we're gonna do. - Right, 100%. - I loved that, because then it made me dig really deep into, like, you use all your reserves to make people laugh, and then you go, oh, wait, I have nothing. Oh, what can I get out of nothing? - But then you find something. - And then you watch, like, your fellow Smosh people search for that too, and then you watch them. It's honestly, it's really cool human experience to watch them go, fuck, I have nothing. And you're like, you always have something. - Everyone's a baby again, everyone's a baby. - It was really nice. It was so fun. - So fun, and this was fun. - Honestly, I had the best time. This also gave me a similar experience. - Yes. - This was great.
