I love seeing this side of Olivia. Complicated relationships between daughters and fathers are often very misrepresented so I love how honest this take on the subject is.
This is so real. Its hard to find stuff in cartoons and other media as well (Speaking as a creative writer with a negative relationship with their father)
Monday is Smosh mouth. Smosh pit is tues/thurs/sat. Smosh games is Wed/Fri/Sun. Bit city is every other Friday Lunchtime with smosh is every other Thursday Always at 10am PST for most except the podcast and Reddit stories (which is every Saturday)
I wish Shayne was more comfortable with his own creative vision because every time he's pitched/produced/directed something like SmoshMouth, the Live Sitcom, Sniper Chess, Hide and Seek, Overnight at Smosh, and various sketches it's always a delight to see it come to life. He's always great and super creative and I wish to see more of his ideas in Smosh or outside!! Edit: Bit City, Darts videos, Who knows out crew best, Smosh Haunted House, etc
I have never related more to Olivia. The shock and disbelief on Shayne and Amanda's face when she said she lied throughout that dinner says SO MUCH...I feel like they weren't understanding how very traditional and stern parental figures can make you question and feel bad about every aspect of your life if they don't accept what's happening in your life. And they will say every hurtful and mean thing to YOUR FACE and not care about the situation or environment, nor hear your point of view. That need of control is so, so real. UGH OLIVIA you are the best. - Written by a child of a communist-born terrifying mother lol
Oof, as a person with a v complicated relationship with my father, this is everything. Even just in real time the back and forth of “he’s very serious” to “he’s so charismatic” to “he yells at people all the time” and i could feel her anger so viscerally about the irony of holding her marriage prospects on some pedestal that he couldn’t do for his own. Gah! Was not expecting this one today, but has been so therapeutic for me this morning. Thank you Olivia for your vulnerability!! I can’t wait until this comes out!!
I paused the video, went to eat with my father and ended up arguing with him and crying, and came back to the video without knowing it would be such a healing experience.
The premise alone is brilliant. She’s serving as a literal translator between cultures trying to be the filter for one to accept the other and vice versa. Can’t wait to watch
Why does Shayne think he hasn't got any real life examples to draw from. He's was a child actor at one of the biggest companies on earth, gets thrust into LA once it ends, joins the Internet entertainment scene which has its pitfalls, ups and downs, and doubts - and then comes through the other side of Defy and the new era of Smosh with a great creative and accepting mindset, whilst also meeting his wife during that time.
Because he views his life as normal/average and his skills as normal/average, so there’s nothing exceptional or interesting to expand on and share. No one will find any of it interesting enough to watch or read about (we all know this perspective is untrue). There may also be a little fear of vulnerability and fully has a fear of failing (that’s all perfectionism is).
I feel like his life is his normal, so he doesn't realize how unusual it actually is and how interesting it would be to an outsider. Tbh I think the vast majority of people could turn their lives into interesting stories if they try hard enough
i actually would love for smosh cast to have more serious in tone episodes, i really enjoyed listening to olivia and i connected with her on a lot of what she said. don't shy away from serious or heavy conversation if the guest is up to it Shayne and Amanda!!!
@@bthereal if the files don’t exist they can’t be retrieved, and prodding an Inc. like Smosh or any previous affiliates to it would just be A. setting yourself up to find nothing or B. setting yourself ip to find nothing AND being judged by 12
Only if he get's some basic training and experience on how to use products at least in the right way.. just clown makeup isn't interesting, it's been down do death in the 2010s
I think it’s just gone bc I think all the files were just destroyed when Defy shut down. But I’ve been begging for more makeup videos anyway, so hopefully we get something in the future! Specifically I’ve been wanting to see all the straight guys in the cast do a drag show, bc that would just be the most iconic thing ever
dear olivia, i’m a south asian girl born and raised here with immigrant parents. i’m also in a committed relationship with a white guy anddd my parents are just like yours (traditional asf) ha but i wanted to thank you so much for your thoughts and perspective. it helped me so much. can’t wait to see your short film and thank you from the bottom of my heart
I know we all love Olivia for being a little random chaos monkey, but she is so intelligent and well spoken. I can’t wait to see her short, I’m sure it’s going to be awesome and incredible.
The fact that Shayne and Amanda are such active listeners and just genuinely ask Olivia questions is so nice. It’s so rare to have a conversation where people are seriously interested in what you have to say without talking about themselves. This episode is so refreshing
I so very badly want to see this film. I know it’s extremely personal, but I do hope it does become accessible to those who are seeking it. Excited for it to be finished and excited for everything going on in your life - love to see Smosh people succeed in more than just Smosh.
I'm astounded by Olivia's bravery. I can't speak for her family but the thought of putting my life on screen like that, coming from a culture where humility and face are so important, the thought of the whispers at my extended family's dinner table. The idea of it is paralyzing as it is, and despite that having the strength to see that through? Holy shit. Don't know where this film will show up but if its available anywhere in the bay area I'll see it.
god i love olivia so much, i'm so glad she's opening up about this and getting to share something so important to her through her art. what a lovely woman through and through, i hope she knows we love her vulnerable side as much as her crazy and funny side. as a first gen american with a complicated relationship to my parents, i just know it's gonna emotionally resonate with me. so excited to see the short film!!!
This podcast is such a weird coincidence. I was just trying to explain how my dad was a complicated person to my oldest last night, because she asked about him. I feel kind of lucky that never had to be the middle man between my divorced parents, because I cut ties with my dad, and eventually he died. I love that Olivia made a short that showcases complicated relationships with parents.
24:49 I understand what Olivia is saying here as it being a personal project but to me the cultural investment of these type of short films is invaluable, congratulations girl!!! you deserve this opportunity and so many more to tell your stories✨💗 edit: so here for Amanda to make her girl and tree short that sounds so good!
as a woman in the industry who eventually wants to produce and has seen how things can spiral catastrophically, this was such a lovely episode to watch. olivia im so proud of you and would be honored to work with you on a project some day
If you listen to Olivia‘s whole story, you will notice how it goes up and down, how she has struggles, but after the struggles, she realizes everything‘s OK. Also her realizing she has supportive peers. As humans we’re going to have downtimes, but you have to be positive because even through Olivia‘s downtimes something good came out of it. Food for thought
I think everyone at Smosh has that core of being properly competant. They're professional entertainers, but they've all got serious skills in other areas.
I'm glad stories like these are told because I wouldn't have known about the steps involved with securing people, places, and teamwork for a movie to be made. What a beast of a project to undertake
I wish Smosh would make another channel that puts out short films. Listening to Olivia jokingly suggesting that Smosh could put out her film makes sense somehow. Smosh has a lot of aspiring actors and directors as employees. I hope aside from the sketches they could venture out into short films like Wong Fu production but instead its Smosh Films. It could give the cast to show off their acting, directing, and writing abilities. I know they already have too much on their plates, but I hope Ian and Anthony should let Courtney lead that channel. They could rebrand the Smosh Alliance channel into that.. they have too many wasted channel that they could still profit on. Last but not least, I just want the cast to have a chance to lay out their talent to get them scouted from casting directors.
The short film Shayne is talking about is called Curve and is truly terrifying. It’s on the Short of the Week RUclips channel which has a bunch of other great horror shorts and other genres
Ive been holding back on ideas for horror projects based on my experience with extreme medical C-PTSD and listening to this has become the reason I just picked up my pen and started to write stuff down to start with in terms of horror games or a movie. Truly, thank you for sharing this to the world Olivia, opening up about your work has inspired me to do something with the creativity that's been sitting in my brain since healing from my ptsd. Love you smosh ❤ Edit: fixed my grammar oops
I recently saw a post about how much medical horror is about the scary patients etc when the real life horror is in the treatment and workers (especially when it comes to mental health). So a story written from your perspective is for sure something people do want. I don't know about horror (can't watch it), but I thought I should share that I very recently saw people talking about how they want more patient centered horror
Olivia, Im so excited for you and to see your film. It was so cool to see Amanda and Angela in Patrick's short film a few months back. I feel like a proud father LOL I love to see you all achieve your dreams
the cats coming into the bathroom when ur trying to use it is so real. my cat always sits on my lap so i just doom scroll cuz i don't want to bother her, she's a princess
I'm so happy Olivia was on this episode and shared her story. I feel like I finally got to meet Olivia tonight after watching Smosh for 10 years. Thank you Olivia for being so candid here on SmoshMouth.
This is why I love Smosh. I love watching people’s passions and creativity. I find it so fascinating listening to people talk about and watching people do what they love. It’s so interesting to me.
41:15 loved this part of the conversation. “It’s your fear trying to protect you” and it’s on you to tell your fear that you’ll be ok and push through. Thanks, Amanda, I actually really needed to hear that
I related so so so much when Olivia was talking about the expectations of marriage. I’m Indian and 27 and to the Indian culture me being unmarried at this age is reflecting “badly” on my parents in society because how can you have a 27 year old who isn’t married? And to society, there’s something obviously wrong with me.
This was a great interview with Olivia. I loved her vulnerability here. Can't wait to see her short film! And I hope she submits it to all the festivals, I'm sure it's going to be great!
i listened to this while im cutting my stickers out that im planning to sell for the first time, sleep deprived, caffeinated and im not planning to ever make a short film but i could still relate to the whole creative process (i hope to open my lil art shop soon) and it just felt real nice to listen to this episode so thank you guys!! also shayne, who comes across as one of the nicest people ever, going "okay i might start being nice to people" is so funny to me for some reason
i've only seen olivia in silly videos, and this is the first time i've seen her speak so seriously. i could tell she was clever from her humor, but it's really such a joy to see her talk so proudly and fondly about something she made. this was a great conversation!
For those wondering, the short horror film Shayne mentionned is "Curve" posted on the YT Shorts of the Week and is very good 👌👌 Congrats Olivia on your short film, I hope you're proud of yourself because you should be !
It’s so fun hearing Olivia talk abt film bc she gets such a reputation for being weird, which is true, and she’s also so smart and creative with her work
This is actually so cool to do something so personal and vulnerable and put it out to the world. You guys should totally keep us updated on when/where it can be viewed for those of us without social media accounts.
this has truly been a top episode for me now - the way they let Olivia go on here to talk about a project outside of smosh is amazing to see, just the way they were so willingly there to listen and make everyone of us listen to her while both Shayne and Amanda think about their own endeavours was just really sweet :) Very excited so see updates for this !!
I’ve already been huge Olivia fan, but seeing her be this real and vulnerable was even cooler. Love that Smosh gives the cast a platform to talk about their passions like this.
Looking at the comments and seeing so many people can relate to Olivia's story is crazyyyyyy because I can too. Thanks for being vulnerable xiaojiejie and cant wait to see the film!
Crazy to realize the reason Olivia hasn't been around so much is because she was literally making a movie!! But I absolutely love that with Smosh they can go off and do their own things, like Damien with all of his voice acting, but they can always come home.
Shayne and Courtney's story would make a good RomCom, starting with the "See you at work," including the breakfast where Courtney invited Shayne just to tell him they're friends, and keeping the marriage a secret and announcing it on April Fool's Day. It's got all the check marks.
Olivia is so cool. Just being so vulnerable to show a flawed familial relationship like that through art is always something I respect deeply. It shows you're strong enough to reflect on yourself and your journey. as someone who struggles with over analyzing my actions or hiding my head in the sand I feel her actions are really brave and mature
Weird as it soumds. Love seeing olivia not be this flanderized veraion of herself that she's become on Smosh. For better or for worse she commits so hard. To every bit or joke and never drops it even if the bit isn't good. And ive always respected that about her.
Totally get that. Always just “Olivia is so wacky, Olivia is so crazy, Olivia is so random.” And it’s true, she is those things. Her humor does go there. But she’s also more than that. Seen her in other interviews/projects where you can see she’s quite artistic and thoughtful and it’s cool seeing that too.
I love love love short films, I even starred in one in college (and was featured in another), and the whole process is so fun and wildly cool! I'm excited for Olivia's and tbh I would love to see short films from both Amanda and Shayne!!
They kinda did a little bit of it (lipstick) in one of the old "Courtney and their boys" videos where they tried long nails. Damien was very good at it, if I remember... makes sense since he was a proper theatree kid
I really enjoyed this side of Olivia. I can tell her upbringing really did impact her. Father and daughter relationships are complex, but as a daughter it does pull at your heart strings.
Loved hearing about Olivia’s short film! Episodes where we really get to know a guest and their interests are great. I really enjoyed the focus early Smosh Mouth had on writing and creativity, and I hope you continue to revisit those topics. W episode
this is one of my favorite episodes. i’ve been watching olivia ever since she joined and i truly enjoyed listening to her speak. i can’t wait to watch her film
Olivia, we’re so proud of you for making this! Your film sounds so earnest. Even if you think it’s a flop, it will touch so many people who have been in interracial relationships and will make them feel less alone. I can’t wait to watch your film!
I’m not the biggest shorts girlie but after this podcast I think maybe I just haven’t explored the genre because this short sounds awesome and I will definitely see it. Thanks for bringing it to my attention!
Cannot wait to see the film! I lost my dad when I was 11 to cancer so the way olivia spoke about her dad pulled on my heartstrings. Love when people make art that is so deep within them the way she talks about it I just feel how important this is to her.
Watching Olivia be so vulnerable with this project is awesomely refreshing! She makes me want to make sure I’m being as appreciative as possible to all those around me😊
All these years, it's refreshing hearing Olivia talk seriously and... you know, make sense. 🤣 With all this talent... I really want to see the smosh cast make a serious proper short film (sprinkled with a few jokes here and there). Come on. Who's with me?
Shayne shortchanges himself and doesn't realize how talented he really is! He's had so many ideas come to life on Smosh so far. And his love story with Courtney is not boring! Maybe he can make something based on their story somehow. It wouldn't have to be exactly as it happened, but something based on their true story ❤
The fact that they turned down Vogue but let Olivia shoot there is such a flex for her
It’s the biggest flex
I've actually been to that place (my sister-n-law got married to her husband and had a family dinner there) and it is gorgeous
“i keep it wide open like my legs” 😭 olivia always has crazy shit to say
Kinda makes sense that her and Angela are so close lol
they really made Shayne out to be the weird one for shutting the door while pissing😭😭
FOR REAL THATS SO NORMAL
my bathroom door is behind me when im peeing so i would like to have the door closed when im in my most vulnerable state lmao.
@@jackeroni216 It's not common when married or in a committed relationship unless you're young or self-conscious.
Lol I have a 5yo, it's non negotiable at this point 😂
@@TheSwauzz that’s not even a little bit true. It’s completely a couple by couple basis.
I love seeing this side of Olivia. Complicated relationships between daughters and fathers are often very misrepresented so I love how honest this take on the subject is.
This is so real. Its hard to find stuff in cartoons and other media as well
(Speaking as a creative writer with a negative relationship with their father)
Olivia booked?! Herself?!
Underrated comment
I always forget the smosh upload schedule. Every video is a nice surprise.
Edit: Don’t tell me the schedule, I said it was a nice surprise.
No seriously, I don’t know any of the schedules, I just show up at the right time 😂
only one i know is TNTLs upload schedual
Monday is Smosh mouth. Smosh pit is tues/thurs/sat. Smosh games is Wed/Fri/Sun.
Bit city is every other Friday
Lunchtime with smosh is every other Thursday
Always at 10am PST for most except the podcast and Reddit stories (which is every Saturday)
The last 2 people here are evil
@ such monsters (joke)
Edit: they also commented before I made that edit.
I wish Shayne was more comfortable with his own creative vision because every time he's pitched/produced/directed something like SmoshMouth, the Live Sitcom, Sniper Chess, Hide and Seek, Overnight at Smosh, and various sketches it's always a delight to see it come to life. He's always great and super creative and I wish to see more of his ideas in Smosh or outside!!
Edit: Bit City, Darts videos, Who knows out crew best, Smosh Haunted House, etc
Or that monkey bit during TNTL where it sounds like a medication commercial 😂😂😂😂
Angela and Chanse have also said he pitched Bit City
Bit City was also a Shayne baby, he's just a very humble guy who doesn't want to take credit for anything
Every bird ever traumatized him
Don't forget about the staring contest ✋💀💀

Yes!!
I paused the video, went to eat with my father and ended up arguing with him and crying, and came back to the video without knowing it would be such a healing experience.
Same...🥲
The premise alone is brilliant. She’s serving as a literal translator between cultures trying to be the filter for one to accept the other and vice versa. Can’t wait to watch

Besides him being one of the most creative Smosh cast members, his story with Courtney is a romantic comedy itself!
Also he reads and plays a lot, those alone can fuel my imagination for years.
Because he views his life as normal/average and his skills as normal/average, so there’s nothing exceptional or interesting to expand on and share.
No one will find any of it interesting enough to watch or read about (we all know this perspective is untrue).

He forgets he makes 99% of Smosh
i actually would love for smosh cast to have more serious in tone episodes, i really enjoyed listening to olivia and i connected with her on a lot of what she said. don't shy away from serious or heavy conversation if the guest is up to it Shayne and Amanda!!!
I would topple entire civilizations in order to see the video of shayne doing olivias makeup.

Only if he get's some basic training and experience on how to use products at least in the right way..

they talked about it a lil bit in Olivia’s Lunch Time with Smosh episode!

I love that Olivia is getting the opportunities to tell stories that are meaningful to her
Smosh should host a ticketed release for the movie like they did for the sitcom. I guarantee there is support for that.
Now we know why we’ve had so little Olivia for the last year!
I'm so happy Olivia was on this episode and shared her story. I feel like I finally got to meet Olivia tonight after watching Smosh for 10 years. Thank you Olivia for being so candid here on SmoshMouth.
We love Olivia! We all say in unison!

i listened to this while im cutting my stickers out that im planning to sell for the first time, sleep deprived, caffeinated and im not planning to ever make a short film but i could still relate to the whole creative process (i hope to open my lil art shop soon) and it just felt real nice to listen to this episode so thank you guys!!
also shayne, who comes across as one of the nicest people ever, going "okay i might start being nice to people" is so funny to me for some reason
i've only seen olivia in silly videos, and this is the first time i've seen her speak so seriously. i could tell she was clever from her humor, but it's really such a joy to see her talk so proudly and fondly about something she made. this was a great conversation!
For those wondering, the short horror film Shayne mentionned is "Curve" posted on the YT Shorts of the Week and is very good 👌👌
Congrats Olivia on your short film, I hope you're proud of yourself because you should be !
I can't wait to watch your film Olivia. I KNOW it will be great especially because of all the hard work and time you put into it!
It’s so fun hearing Olivia talk abt film bc she gets such a reputation for being weird, which is true, and she’s also so smart and creative with her work
Every movie is a miracle. Thank you Olivia, for being so vulnerable about the filmmaking process. I'm excited to see it when it comes out.
This is actually so cool to do something so personal and vulnerable and put it out to the world. You guys should totally keep us updated on when/where it can be viewed for those of us without social media accounts.
this has truly been a top episode for me now - the way they let Olivia go on here to talk about a project outside of smosh is amazing to see, just the way they were so willingly there to listen and make everyone of us listen to her while both Shayne and Amanda think about their own endeavours was just really sweet :) Very excited so see updates for this !!
4:55 threatening compliment
olivias dad immediately leading with when yall gettin married is so incredibly real lmfaoooo (also the yelling, the relatability is off the charts)
Not often that Smosh content leaves me in tears. Great episode.
Honestly loved this episode! genuinely was soo interested in her short film and the process! definitely one of my favourites of smosh mouth
Jim Lau is the best! He's worked with friends of mine quite a few times over the years. Olivia made an excellent choice casting him!
I’ve already been huge Olivia fan, but seeing her be this real and vulnerable was even cooler. Love that Smosh gives the cast a platform to talk about their passions like this.
It was fascinating to learn a little more of Olivia’s story background while creating the short film hopefully we’ll all get to see it
Looking at the comments and seeing so many people can relate to Olivia's story is crazyyyyyy because I can too. Thanks for being vulnerable xiaojiejie and cant wait to see the film!
listening to olivia talk like this is so refreshing🥰
Crazy to realize the reason Olivia hasn't been around so much is because she was literally making a movie!!
But I absolutely love that with Smosh they can go off and do their own things, like Damien with all of his voice acting, but they can always come home.
I'm always so excited when an Olivia video enters chat. She's a super good bean!
Olivia 2 days in a row!🎉
Loving the Olivia content!!
Shayne and Courtney's story would make a good RomCom, starting with the "See you at work," including the breakfast where Courtney invited Shayne just to tell him they're friends, and keeping the marriage a secret and announcing it on April Fool's Day. It's got all the check marks.
I was about to comment about the MillerTopp cats probably wanting to climb on Shayne’s lap if he’s going to the bathroom… then he said it haha
Olivia is so cool. Just being so vulnerable to show a flawed familial relationship like that through art is always something I respect deeply. It shows you're strong enough to reflect on yourself and your journey. as someone who struggles with over analyzing my actions or hiding my head in the sand I feel her actions are really brave and mature
Weird as it soumds. Love seeing olivia not be this flanderized veraion of herself that she's become on Smosh. For better or for worse she commits so hard. To every bit or joke and never drops it even if the bit isn't good. And ive always respected that about her.
Totally get that. Always just “Olivia is so wacky, Olivia is so crazy, Olivia is so random.” And it’s true, she is those things. Her humor does go there. But she’s also more than that. Seen her in other interviews/projects where you can see she’s quite artistic and thoughtful and it’s cool seeing that too.
I love love love short films, I even starred in one in college (and was featured in another), and the whole process is so fun and wildly cool! I'm excited for Olivia's and tbh I would love to see short films from both Amanda and Shayne!!
This is the most real I’ve ever heard Olivia being, it’s refreshing
We should have a video of Shayne and the guys doing their own makeup to see who does better
First their own, then each other's. That would be so fun to watch 😂
@ErGo13 Yes!! or they do makeup to the girls
They kinda did a little bit of it (lipstick) in one of the old "Courtney and their boys" videos where they tried long nails. Damien was very good at it, if I remember... makes sense since he was a proper theatree kid
I really enjoyed this side of Olivia. I can tell her upbringing really did impact her. Father and daughter relationships are complex, but as a daughter it does pull at your heart strings.
Loved hearing about Olivia’s short film! Episodes where we really get to know a guest and their interests are great. I really enjoyed the focus early Smosh Mouth had on writing and creativity, and I hope you continue to revisit those topics. W episode
this is one of my favorite episodes. i’ve been watching olivia ever since she joined and i truly enjoyed listening to her speak. i can’t wait to watch her film
Can’t wait for Olivia’s short to come out. That story sounds so funny.
i actually cannot wait for this film
Y'all really give an artist's perspective on living in LA and working in entertainment, it's very very cool.
"Was it stressful? sort of. Was I lying? yeah~"
😂
Olivia, we’re so proud of you for making this! Your film sounds so earnest. Even if you think it’s a flop, it will touch so many people who have been in interracial relationships and will make them feel less alone. I can’t wait to watch your film!
I’m a DP and hearing you talk about your DP like that made me so happy. I love that! I can’t wait to watch this!
i cant tell if all this sudden Olivia content is a blessing or if it makes me nervous for why
OLIVIA LETS GOOOOOO
Olivia talking about her dad calling is so sweet.
I’m not the biggest shorts girlie but after this podcast I think maybe I just haven’t explored the genre because this short sounds awesome and I will definitely see it. Thanks for bringing it to my attention!
What a fantastic episode. All the best for your short movie Olivia. We will be supporting ❤
Cannot wait to see the film! I lost my dad when I was 11 to cancer so the way olivia spoke about her dad pulled on my heartstrings. Love when people make art that is so deep within them the way she talks about it I just feel how important this is to her.
Watching Olivia be so vulnerable with this project is awesomely refreshing! She makes me want to make sure I’m being as appreciative as possible to all those around me😊
All these years, it's refreshing hearing Olivia talk seriously and... you know, make sense. 🤣
With all this talent... I really want to see the smosh cast make a serious proper short film (sprinkled with a few jokes here and there). Come on. Who's with me?
Shayne shortchanges himself and doesn't realize how talented he really is! He's had so many ideas come to life on Smosh so far. And his love story with Courtney is not boring! Maybe he can make something based on their story somehow. It wouldn't have to be exactly as it happened, but something based on their true story ❤
