thank you Rory! Means a lot 🙏
@@youshaei of course man! I never skip an upload!
i thought yoy meant jontron
Yea.
@@youshaeiEpic video
I honestly believe if Anthony and Ian want to make a second movie, they could base it off their real life story.
Seriously! We actually touched on that during our interview I’m posting next. Their story is better than most scripts
@@youshaeiI can’t wait for that one to drop!!
@@youshaeireally? Wow that would be iconic.
@@seancharran3332the one scene I want to see reenacted is the Defy collapse where everyone was destroying everything 😂
It can be an autobiography starring Oscar Isaac as Anthony and Paul Rudd as Ian
people don’t give ian enough credit for keeping smosh going. his business partner and best friend left bc of menta, health and then defy media collapsed and he kept going!!
The thing is, in the post-Deft era, it slowly began to feel like he wasn't doing it alone. Courtney and Shayne stepped up for a while, and then it kinda became a family where everyone was pitching everything. Case in point, Kimmy Jimenez has gone from on-screen talent to the producer in charge of several shows like Smosh Reddit Stories.
just by seeing how alive he is now after anthony came back, you notice what a bad state he was actually in. he really powered through and it paid off for him, truly inspiring!
@@castleoffiction96 a lot of the non-cast employees also helped keep smosh alive by being cast for a while (Former producer like Sarah Whittle, Matt Raub who I think was the VP during their time under Rhett and Link, fan faves like Tommy and Spencer were originally just shoved into shoots cause they didn't have enough cast). And seeing all of their hard work turn into this makes me happy and so proud because they easily could've become another SourceFed where the company dies. But Smosh persisted and is still alive 🥺
Fair enough, I just feel like when people say "Smosh is back, Ian and Anthony are back!" I'm like "Yeah, but this is not a Smosh that needs Anthony to survive."....Course,t hen I hear that some of their best shows cost too damn much to make, so what do I know@@saixenophase
ok so the fact that anthony just shares ians office JUST MAKES ME SO HAPPY FOR SOME REASON
It's totes OG Smosh vibes
It’s quite adorable lol
"and they were roommates!"
@@CaitHadley😂😂😂😂😂
@@CaitHadley
Well, both them have read Smosh fanfics… I wonder if there’s gonna be a resurgence now.
Anthony looks like a club promoter and Ian looks like a fun dad but it works for them
IKR? I'm older than Ian, but even I think of him as a sort of Dad figure.
@@ttintagelIan is the internet’s dad
My Smosh dads look good 😍
@@jessicaleigh514he looks the part too
well, married couples share bedrooms. It's only natural to share an office xD
The way they were looking at their plaque almost made me cry... those two have worked so hard for what they wanted in their lives. Them and the whole Smosh crew deserve nothing but the best.
could you timestamp this? i wanna see 🙏🏼

It’s so crazy to me how many people thought smosh basically died when Anthony left. Their studio is MASSIVE! They did so well for themselves pushing content on all their different platforms. So happy they reunited and are running the show together again now though 🥰
Smosh Main channel after anthony left went from 22M to 25M subscribers and gained 1.6 M when Anthony came back
I don't call that dead
@@AliFareedMC exactly! I dont know why everyone was convinced they went downhill and died off
@@AliFareedMCanthony left while they were still getting heaps of views so that's irrelevant
This is insane. This has got to be one of the best studios that any RUclipsr has built.
what an amazing space - love the flashback stage! so awesome mementos from the past are displayed ❤
Gawd dayum RUclips?!
🫵🤯🫳
Life goal complete: RUclips commenting on my RUclips video about OG RUclipsrs 😂
Hey RUclips
Holy cheesus, RUclips????? I'm glad it's the real account and not one of those annoying bots lol
seeing ian as more than just the comic relief is super refreshing, he takes his time with his words and is very passionate
"Unless Shayne screams"😂😂
haha cracked me up too
The amount of well produced content that comes from so many sets here at around 300k really shows how much money is blown on those esports complexes
BIGGER = _BETTER_ (?)
there are regular 2 bedroom flats in large cities which cost more than 300k. that's what I call blowing money
I know right?
jon tron has a good video on the ridiculousness of overspending on those gamer complexes
Its weird how ive got no personal relation to smosh, but i so desperately want to see them reclaim what they used to have. The whole story behind it all combined with a ton of nostalgia really just makes me root for smosh and i so hope that Ian and Anthony are happy with their decision
I was expecting an actual new studio, but they’ve been using this space well before Anthony rejoined. This is Ian and Mythical that curated this space.
Thank you!
@@firefly10241this looks like the exact space they’ve been using, as evidenced through the hide and seek videos. It’s the same space
@@firefly10241They moved to this studio more than a year ago though, so OP is not wrong
@@blazehaze233 They had a different space for awhile under Mythical and then moved while still under mythical. They were in the other space more since they were talking on about on smoshcast podcast before it quit.
I don't think Mythical curated this space but they did move in here while still under them. Since then it's been upgraded and it's a nice space, it was smart to remain there and upgrade it instead of moving to a new one after the reunion.
Ian looks so happy describing everything, with vivid details & references. I'm so happy Ian & Anthony are back together ✨✨
Seing the Ian's enrichment area made me so happy
the fact that these 2 guys have fun while working is something you shouldnt take for granted and what they build
Yeah it was really cool to see
Absolutely adore that Ian basically shares his office with Anthony, you can tell that they are such good friends
this is so rad! i was watching Smosh Pit’s Hide and Seek video and I was very impressed with the studio!
i was literally thinking someone should make a tour of this
haha great minds
no but Ian absolutely transformed this place and Anthony just came for the last bit
Ian really stepped up when Anthony was gone. But both are important and have always been.
"for the last bit" lol
These days i watch any and all content with ian and anthony its like im emotionally dependent on these boys. this was such a great tour im rly excited for the interview
Welcome to the club! I'm in the same situation
The love Ian and Anthony have for each other makes me so happy. Their love and friendship is genuinely so heart warming. I’m so glad they’ve rekindled their friendship. Ive missed them and im so glad theyre actually friends again.
The fact that this all started as 2 friends shooting funny skit videos at a park in Sacramento is so crazy! Especially after everything else that happened.
Right?! Just wait until the full interview
@@youshaei Excited for it!
Actually their first videos were in another house before the infamous "Sacramento house".
@mar__k Yeah it was Ian's house right? Or a different one, I cant remember
@@sean_mccadden I think so. Was that also in Sacramento?
I really love the Ian and Anthony dynamic. I'm so glad they were mature enough to reunite. So happy for them 😊
really cool studio. It's wild to me how many RUclipsrs are running legitimate media companies with tens of full time employees
Right?! They take it to a whole other level
It’s nice to see Jon, working with a new and small content company
haha I think they have a good shot of making it. Heck, maybe one day they'll get so big they'll sell. And then buy it back. But who knows.
$300,000 for the building studio they’re in with the additions they made? Honestly that sounds pretty good for the price and the size of their building
Not for the building. For everything inside the building.
i love how ian and anthony look next to each other. your well-to-do dad neighbor with a son who just got into first grade and your local emo overlord.
More like goth fuckboy and gay nerd, but yeah they look good side by side for some reason
I will say this again as I have said it before. When Anthony returned to Smosh, it finally felt like it was healing again. There is no better feeling than to see two accomplished friends reuniting after so long apart.
The best 🙏
This is too niche for anyone else to like but I moved to Sacramento in 2005, sophomore in HS. Friends showed me Smosh and immediately thought they were hilarious. Met them at a local Dance Gavin Dance show in 2008 just randomly. NOW I watch Smosh back together and they use a 45 drive storage server that the company I work for invented?? I’m geeking.
I'm so happy that Anthony's team was amenable to becoming part of the Smosh team and that he's been able to continue making the content he has been for the last while alongside contributing to his legacy at Smosh. No one had to leave anything behind and everyone is better for it. It is so incredible and I am so happy for both of them.
10:00 the reason why we don’t get ian is bored videos anymore
ugh im just so happy to see anthony back in smosh. ive been a long time supporter, and even when anthony left i was still there watching smosh pit and smosh summer games. having anthony back and owning the company with ian is truly a blessing that no one thought would be possible
5:21 “unless Shayne screams” 😂
i can't imagine having to film 6 videos in a day lol, especially with one of them being a low-key, kind of intimate type of podcast video lmao idk how they switch on and off like that, props to shayne and Amanda fr
mythical was definitely such a good influence on them, mythical is run so well, so they just took a few pages from their book
I love watching this and seeing how structured and well planned everything is behind the scenes of the goofy content they put out for us. I was really impressed with how grounded Ian was and how much he knew about how everything operated. Just shows how he managed to make everything work during the years they were under Mythical Studios to now with Ian and Anthony both owning Smosh.
Yeah they run a really tight ship. Super inspiring to have seen it up close
It’s nice that they kept Board AF around from the old SG cast.
Yeah I loved seeing that there as well
That studio is as insane as the story behind smosh as a brand and the changes it has had throughout the years, so stoked to see what the future holds for everyone in the smosh fam
Impressive interview with very impressive people in an impressive studio.
Impressive comment about impressive interview with very impressive people in an impressive studio
ok but why does anthony look like a rock star on his day off and ian looks like his chill manager who happens to also be cute
The rockstar and the cute manager 😁
@@jsflows yess! 😛
Smosh the movie 2 except it's just about how awesome these 2 are
Haha now that's a sequel I'd love to see
IAN AND ANTHONY WILL LIVE ON FOREVER IN EVERYONES HEART!
AMAZING VIDEO!
Thank you so much!
This was so cool to watch! I love recognizing different sections of the set and recognizing parts of the office from the Shayne and Anthony hide and seek videos. It's so cool to see how far these two have come! Excited to see where they go from here, and thank you for such a cool video! Excited to see your interview with them!
So awesome to hear this!! Can't wait to release the full interview
I'm so happy they're actually buddies again because I missed them.
Super cool place, man. What a treat to be able to work on this. Loving those Bruce Lee posters!
Yess! Thanks again for all your help, especially with the amazing graphics 🔥
8:40 SNACK NICHOLSON LMAO
10:10 JOSH IS HOLDING BACK A LAUGH BEHIND THEM LMAOOO
this video is amazing, thank you
I’ve always been so obsessed with this Smosh studio, just the way every set could have multiple purposes, I just love it Sm 😭🤚🏻
And Anthony temporary pretty much sharing an office with Ian is just, god I’ve missed them together 😭🤚🏻
i love seeing the everyone in the back and being able to recognize them
smosh is for real giving Chosen family
This makes my heart so happy. They were the first RUclipsrs I ever watched and now seeing hoe far they've come and how much the cast has grown it just makes me feel old and happy lol
So inspiring to see how far Ian and Anthony have come since their early days when I watched them as a kid! Loved this video, great work as always Jon!
Always appreciate your support 😄
@@youshaei I appreciate what you do for us creators!!
I loved the detailed look behind the scenes here.
Thank you! Anthony, Ian and the entire Smosh team were so kind to take the time to show us around
Their studio is amazing. The entire team's hard work and dedication made Smosh into this juggernaut that creates whimsy from hard work. I appreciate all their content and as a content creator, I go to them when I need a laugh. :D
I'd never seen a video from you, but I really enjoyed it! I love when you can tell that a video has great quality, is really thought out, and that you'd done your research! Keep it going!
Thank you!! Cant wait to hear what you think of our full interview coming next 🚀
this is amazing to watch, how these amazing videos are being made...
always loved Ian and Anthony and their sense of humor
appreciate the video very much :)
Thanks for watching!
best youtubers ever in my opinion, i'm so glad they are back
Going through all their old stuff and remembering their old videos you start to realise how creative they actually are/were they were just kids when they started and somehow produced some of the best stuff on youtube to this day
love how they cant contain their ideas :) i love smosh it gives me such a nostalgic vibe and i cant get enough
The best!!
Hell yeah! So happy for you guys! :D
This was so cool to see the behind the scenes!! Great vid!😊
Thanks so much!
7:14 RUclipsr talks about burnout while grinding an ad read. I just found that poetic
it’s a sick ass studio ugh i love them
I think this is something amazing for all of us that grow up with Smosh, and also for the internet itself? Because, Smosh was the first in a lot of things and this whole story is just, amazing, them making a whole entire company, Ian keeping it afloat for years, Reth and Link for being AMAZING and giving them the ability to keep going (Seriously, they are incredible creators and human beings) and Anthony coming back after he healed to join his kid basically once again. Life is good guys.
its actually SO crazy to see how Smosh has evolved and how impressive this set is
8/9 videos EVERY WEEK?! Dude, the ca. 38 people working full time at the company makes sence 😯
So proud of these 2. From their humble bedroom beginnings to creating an empire, bravo 👏🏼😄
The shoot blocks thing is interesting, and it really showcases how serious and well-structured they have to be to create so much content.
Absolutely 💯
Let's go! So fun to edit this intro 🔥🔥🔥 Another banger Jon!
You killed this one Drew 🙏
ian really did continue to build smosh up for the six years and i’m so proud of him
10:30 As someone whose had to migrate on-prem to cloud for large media, *DAMN* I want a full video on that rig.
I assume it’s a split data rig for video wired to intranet, and also hosting their merch site. The combo of high-speed storage and hosting makes me happy seeing it all on-premises. :)
Yay! Ever since the hide and seek videos i just took those as a tour, I'm happy there's an actual tour :)
I’m so happy it’s done!
1:49 i couldn’t help but notice the typo on the date, it should have said 2011 instead of 2017 🤣
Anyways so cool that you got to tour their studio.👌🏼
I like how Anthony acts like he's been in this studio for years!!
8:44
SNACK NICHOLSON!!!
Courtney Miller: IAN NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I frequently get a sense of being a lone traveller in the world of RUclips, striving to
find a welcoming community. I sometimes feel as though the work I put my heart and soul into has vanished into a void of apathy. Even if the lack of motivation might be discouraging, a flame of drive still burns inside me. I'll keep making things and expressing my enthusiasm in the hopes that one day it may speak to someone.💔
Keep going you got this 👊
I love how the Flashback with Smosh set feels a bit reminiscent of Anthony’s I Spent a Day With set with the fireplace and chairs
I have a very important question, where's the LaCroix wall??
I WAS WAITING FOR THAT TOO!! we need an update fr i wanna know if shayne achieved his dream of getting it to the ceiling
such a great legacy, dreams do come true
This is really like a professional theatre company and i love it
Amazing studio! Keep growing SMOSH and you too Jon! 👍
Thank you!
😎👍@@youshaei
OMG OMG OMG! I have seen this and watch this video on RUclips and it was awesome! I love Ian and Anthony because they are two wild and crazy goats! 🐐🐐 I love the tour of the Smosh studio! If I ever went to the Smosh studio, I would be very happy! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Glad you liked it!!
Cool tour of the Smosh Office!!
I was about to watch the newest SmoshCast vid when I saw this on the RUclips Homepage.
Thank you!
@youshaei You're welcome!!
I've been watching Smosh since 6/6/2013 (10 years); still watching them today.
Also gonna sub to you as well; I might watch your interview with the duo as well.
First time visiting this channel, but this was a great interview!
Welcome 👋 stoked to have you here
it’s like Jon read my mind lol. i’ve wanted this video so bad !
Ian leaked how mythical shoots gmm!!!!
Those of you who are familiar with the Smosh crew know EXACTLY which AP put up that giant glamour photo of Ian. 🤣
🤣🤣
omg i remember when smosh the movie came out, me and my bsf at the time rented it tg :') what a time
Just an FYI better help has been legal issues with breaking HIPAA. I understand that you see others promote it like Anthony. Just because everyone promotes it doesn't mean it's a good company. Next time regardless if everyone promotes it look into it.
Ian explaining Snack Nicholson is so damn funny
Truly 😂
4:55 Ian gots that dilf vibe going on
also this intro flows into the main content so seamlessly 🧠
thank you! We worked on that part for sooo long to get it right
11:17 reminds me of courtney’s impression of ian
I just love them.
They're the best 🙏
That studio is so cool
Right?!
aughh this video was so gooddd
this is absolutely wild, i never realized how big that place was!
This is so cool!
omg, it’s the blue mole!!!
Anthony came back and immediately makes one of his team the CEO.
After Ian and his team kept Smosh alive. I love them both, but my intrusive thoughts won this time.
Arguably she has the most experience, especially after working with Anthony for the past 6 years. I’m sure it was easier for them to bring in someone familiar with the content to some degree versus someone totally new. Not to mention I’m sure both Ian and Anthony talked about who would be best suited for the job instead of solely Anthony coming in and “Making” her CEO.
To be fair now that they are an independent company they need all the help they can get. Plus they lost a couple of important people after leaving from mythical so they kinda just fill up the roles
@@SquiggyAmy Like I said, "my intrusive thoughts won". No hate whatsoever, I'm sure they are on the same page.
