Ian deserves so much credit for keeping Smosh together and the channel alive these past few years like way to go man for sticking it out and now his perseverance is rewarded.
As well as the old cast members for sticking with him. They get a lot of flak for being an addition to Ian & Anthony but ever since Anthony left, they never gave up with the channel.
@@JackpotsPH Absolutely, and I would add the whole production team into that as well. Everyone involved busted their asses to keep this amazing thing alive
Agreed. But I do want to say that there are plenty of us who only came to smosh after Anthony left, and love the broader cast as its own thing. I'd say they did a lot more than just keep it going so anthony could come back and they could just go back to how things were 7+ years ago.
@@cusemoneyman they kept on going even through the time where they had no parent company and was unsure about what will happen to the channel. So I completely agree with you.
So, I only started watching this channel a couple weeks ago and the dynamic changed when he came back. It feels awkward now in the newest vids. As a fresh newbie watcher he doesn’t fit in as well, in my opinion. I mean no disrespect to long time subscribers and their fav members of the show, just how I feel. And no, I don’t know the background. 🤷♀️
I know I'm not the first one to point this out, but I find it very funny that Shayne went from acting on iCarly, a show about two best friends who made a website to upload their crazy funny videos in high school, and That's So Random, a show about comedy sketches, to Smosh which is basically both of those things.
I think part of the reason people are like "Ian is so down blah blah" is because they're still stuck in the mindset of "sketch and vlog exaggerated enthusiasm Ian is how he's supposed to be all the time" and him now being a chill dude with a dryer sense of humour doesn't conform to that mindset
This makes sense. It seems like a lot of fans want to hold him up to a microscope. It honestly just seems rude for people to constantly point out how "down" he seems. If he is down hes allowed to not be bubbly and joyful 24/7. Hes human like everyone else.... Just not sure what people expect sometimes
As someone who only recently started watching smosh with any kind of regularity, I can say it definitely isn't a mindset I had from past characters. He just always seemed depressed... I just assumed that was his personality. But ever since the news came out, he's 1000 times more animated in everything he's been in. It's not the characters that seem happier... it's him.
@@dannykent6190 Agreed, I never watched their old content so I don't have an image of Ian as excited or happy. He just seemed chill and sort of somber and joked about dark themes a lot, which can be construed as "depressed". But I can clearly see a change in him now. Just the past year or so he's seemed so much more relaxed. He seems a lot more happy and just less tense.
I agree with Shayne and Amanda. Ian never seemed depressed or in less of a good mood before the big announcement. he was just being his chill self I assumed. And that was totally cool too
I agree but I also noticed instances in videos where Ian does seem kinda “bummed out”. It truly may be the fact he didn’t have someone to bounce off of or truly understand him like he mentioned in the Anthony interview. Regardless Ian is amazing and deserves nothing but praise ❤
He was definitely more low energy until recently tho. He’s always been more on the chill side, but when I checked out the original podcast a few months ago, I realized he mellowed out a noticeable amount. At first, I thought he just mellowed out with age. But seeing Ian now after Anthony came back, made it clear to me that his energy was really being drained from the pressure of being the solo boss. Now he just feels that extra bit more loud, energetic, and happy. Which is great to see.
I feel like around the time he probably started hanging out with Anthony again according to this he started like really owning centerstage again. I don't think it was a behavior change just like a reorienting thing which is cool imo
He has a different demeanor than the rest of the cast, so it can seem depressed next to others. It’s more pronounced with the change in demeanor and the upgrade to his style in the last few months. I’m sure a lot of fans have dealt with depression in their lives at one point or another, and those 2 things that for most of us would indicate snapping out of it, so there’s a little bit of (not unhealthy) projection.
@@paulinag.2412 That sounds Misandristic, you should consider not downplaying the importance of one gender over another. Single dads exist and are very good with their kids just like mothers can be.
Amanda knowing absolutely nothing about early Smosh, Rhett and Link or anything online is possibly the best thing for this podcast. It makes it more inclusive and gives context for people under 25 who missed this time of the internet.
if they do I hope one such hat could be as weird as possible - maybe in reference to the new controversial Las Vegas eye orb even? I'm just imagining someone wearing a creepy eye on their head haha
This is hilarious, in the first minutes they talk about collabing with religious organizations. Their first new sketch is literally about murdering sacrifices and summoning demons
I love that Ian says that they got a new camera from a donation at the start even after Anthony admitted that he sold his socks to someone online to buy it.
Ian also confirmed that story during his funeral roast. Noah got it wrong saying Ian sold the socks, and Ian corrected the story. I guess both are true, since they could have bought multiple cameras.
I respect Ian cause even tho there were a lot of people bashing on Smosh being unsupportive he was still there trying to keep things together with his friendship with Anthony not going well altogether he deserved all the love
I'd love to believe that the falling out and coming together of Ian & Anthony would truly be the Smosh Movie. It's an amazing story of two best friends with a great ending. The ending would hard cut from them getting ready, sitting together and announcing "We bought Smosh".
Ian, you did a phenomenal job with helping keep Smosh alive. The whole cast is great and has also been a huge part of keeping Smosh around as well. You’re doing great and can’t wait to see the new things you all accomplish with Anthony coming back. 💛
For anyone who wanted to know about the Star Wars Kid: seems he's doing a lot better now, went on to law school, and even accepted the apology from the person who uploaded the video in the first place. Also I never knew his name was Ghyslain Raza and if that's not the most badass-sounding name than Idk what is
He was featured in a documentary about cyberbullying recently. It was kind of sad to see how much it impacted him, but as you say he seems to be doing good now!
In his language (also mine), the name is not very badass, a bit oldish. I'm trying to be factual here, there's no judgement. It's pronounced ''Guee-Lain'' or ''Gee-Slain'' but without pronouncing the N (not sure which one, our language is pretty messed up with silent letters). In english, it sounds like ''guy slain'' which I agree is pretty badass, I'm happy he's doing better now.
12:35 And Ian definitely succeeded on that front. Rarely do I ever see a show/channel that have their crew be recurring and as loveable as the cast are. He should be proud.
I love hearing Ian’s humble business knowledge, like he learned this over time and he knows so much. He’s probably one of the few people who knows This Much about youtube history, just cuz he was literally there for all of it. It’s so fascinating to listen to him :)
The terror in Ians face when he thought for a split second that Smosh had casted amanda due to her chest was amazing. like "holy shit we did not do that are you insane?!"
Idk what you all think, but Ian will always have a special place in my heart. He’s really the glue behind everything tbh. He doesn’t get enough credit and I will always wish the best for him.
So glad to see the cast giving Ian the thanks and credit he deserves for sticking with us all and working so hard to make the channel grow and thrive ❤
12:50 - Ian's talking about how he's trying to redefine smosh's essence. I think it's really poignant how Smosh was initially built upon the foundation that was Ian and Anthony's friendship, and now, it's evolved into the foundation being the friendships and dynamics between the members of the extended smosh family.
i think that ian in the TNTL with anthony comes across as happier than usual, but *everyone* does in that video. the energy of that video is absurd and joyous in such a good way.
Ian saying he didn't watch much sesame street really was the last straw for Shayne. The look of pure disappointment and putting his hand on his forehead is a golden moment
i mean, i'm not saying they didn't but i'd also say they totally influenced its creation (hell, they had a huge part on what became the youtube zeitgeist for so many years). like a chicken-egg type of situation
I love Ian so much, I was hoping he'd be on soon and this episode did not disappoint! Now I want an episode with Anthony to hear his side of things for a matching pair. I also would have loved an episode with both of them to talk about things but maybe that would have been too much so I can see why doing it separately works too!
the brief history of smosh segment is such a cool internet/cultural history lesson tbh. its really interesting to hear stories of what the internet was like and how it was used before the widespread adoption of social media, especially since social media is pretty centered around sharing videos now. great episode!!
I loved mailtime with Smosh. Actually IanH channel was the one that I started watching regularly in 2010. Watching them get lunch and rate them and then dig through the mail.
i totally agree with ian saying that everything had to happen the way that it did. ian and anthony seemed like they both needed time to grow (obviously idk them irl but im just assuming from the way they’ve talked about their friendship), and once they did, they were able to find eachother again. their friendship was just not sustainable anymore and they had to let it go. it came back once they were ready. it’s like the happy ending of a movie. smosh movie 2 (don’t).
i'm sure amanda heard this after this was recorded already, but for those who don't know/remember: yes smosh pit was always a thing even before the youtube channel ianh became smosh pit, and hosting the smosh pit wrap up for the week (called smosh pit weekly) is the entire reason they brought on mari. in fact you can even still today find the video of the auditions of a bunch of women, and fans voted on their favorite for the person to host smosh pit weekly, which again was mari.
I love Ian explaining the history of smosh, newgrounds and stick figure animation. The very first smosh video I saw was actually posted by someone on MySpace! I can’t remember if it was linked/embedded or uploaded directly but I watched it on this person’s profile over and over.
Anthony has returned, yet somehow I find Ian mentioning Studio C the most unbelievable Smosh news to date, partly because I’ve always wanted them to collab
Maybe they can pull off a collab with JK Studios (the original cast) more than a collab with new Studio C. That the original cast is coming back for the 200th episode is like Anthony coming back to Smosh for clean comedy enthusiasts (except Anthony is staying longer)
JK Studios would be my preferred choice, but it’s a less known brand name than Studio C, and as shown by this podcast, not many of the Smosh members may appreciate the distinction. Cool news about the 200th episode though. I’d have thought they’d crossed that threshold ages ago, but I guess an episode consists of several sketches grouped together
I remember being very impressed by the quality of classic smosh videos and it’s so cool to hear that Anthony and Ian poured their heart into writing and editing those videos to perfection back in the day and it’s still very true up until today. Always feeling fresh and polished, love it!
Honestly i had a huge crush on Ian when Smosh first became a thing on RUclips 😂😂 so i fully back the whole, Ian and Anthony were the most handsome on RUclips at the start
I really picked a good time in the world to be a fan of Smosh, starting to avidly watch prior to the Ian/Anthony announcement, and now i'm just addicted to every upload.
its been 2 weeks and i still love hearing about every detail of how ian and anthony got back together. LIKE HE JUST SOUNDS SO HAPPY MAN BOTH HIM AND ANTHONY EVERYTIME THEY R TOGETHER
One cool thing from this episode, is when Ian talked about what started copyright claims. So cool how seemingly nonchalant he told the story for how much detail he remembered, while many of us would've just assumed it's there from the start.
Ik Ian asked if he looks more happy and I COMPLETELY AGREE THO reasons why 1. I’ve notice that ian just has a happier look on his face when he’s with Anthony in videos 2. They bounce off eachother so we’ll that I notice he laughs more in videos CONCLUSION: IAN IS DEFINITELY MORE HAPPY😆
i have a crap ton of organising and moving of things that need to be donated in my house, i was looking for something to listen to and i’m soooo glad i saw that y’all posted, now i’m not dreading the work as much lol
So the Pringle incident on your Wiki Shane is that you're on put it in my mouth feeding Noah Pringles while he was blindfolded and you said that these were your favorite and you're eating them off the camera😂
Lmao, Ian started talking about how he and Anthony started what eventually became Smosh in their freshman year of high school in 2001 and I choked because I was born in 2003 and I now feel like a toddler compared to everyone sitting at the table 😂
Ian deserves so much credit, lasting so long as a single mom. The funeral roast almost mad me a little bummed since so much almost felt too mean and didn’t have that little element of love and closeness a lot of the others have. I don’t know if that speaks to rough relationships and vulnerability, or maybe I’m just missing something
Hi! First time commenter. I’ve only been listening for about 6 months. But I listen to your videos all day. Not to be corny, but you all truly do help people with your content. I listen to you while I clean mostly and watch the pit videos when I have time to myself. I’ve loved learning the story of Smosh and Ian and Anthony. I love seeing the chemistry, acceptance and all around love from the pit cast as well as producers and other crew. It really has become a part of my daily life and thank you all for the entertainment and fun loving environment you create when I watch your content!
I feel like the chemistry is off... compared it to Shayne x Damien/Courtney/Ian/Spencer/Olivia or probably he's even more matched with Angela. I want to see more Amanda tho.
Great podcast! I honestly look forward to it so much, all of this newer stuff including the D&D is absolutely amazing! And Ian, as a 90s kid that grew up watching you guys, I'm so proud of you for hanging onto your baby after all these years, and that it's back in the hands of the people who should have it. Rhett and Link were lifesavers that I think every smoshfan will appreciate for stepping in, but I'm so happy for you and Anthony- not just for finding your way back to being owners of a company you raised from the ground up, but for giving your friendship a chance to grow from the ashes of the old ones. I think you guys are gonna come back stronger than ever
I'm like.... 4 minutes in and the fact that they are talking about STUDIO C is blowing my mind! Without Studio C, I would not have found Smosh. Both of these channels helped me so much during my high school years. Like... I can't even begin to describe it; they probably saved me. To see Ian have respect for Studio C is wild and a full circle moment for me. I've always wanted Studio C/JK Studios to come on TNTL, but it totally makes sense why the styles of humor wouldn't vibe well. But this was incredible and honestly... made me really happy and cry a little.
so im gen z and didnt know what starwars kid is but i know for a fact he would be considered cool now. How do i know? there is a dude at my college who practices with a double ended lightsaber at night on the quad every couple nights. people open their windows and cheer for him whenever we see him. truly an icon.
I KNEW I LIKED AMANDA FOR A REASON! I also worked in news as a writer for several years. It takes a certain kind of person 😂 I appreciate her all the more
I really love this dynamic and how it allows Ian to showcase his expertise on RUclips and display his knowledge. I was a latecomer to Smosh and the newer cast members are among my favorites, but this gives me a whole new respect for Ian and everything he's been bringing to the table
It is insane how far back Smosh goes. I swear I remember the furbie video, but like Shane said there were probably some similar videos. I definitely remember when RUclips started taking over and being able to put the videos on my MySpace.
@@dika_hilman i did feel something off, but it's also they're first time doing this. I bet once they get accustomed to all these new changes they'll be fine
@@dika_hilman you really think so? I like to think that they're opposing energies can be really beneficial and maybe they're just trying to work out a format
I’ve been a Smosh fan since 2011. Maybe 2010. It’s insane watching the growth everyone has made. Ian especially, but even Shayne. I’m so glad Ian and Anthony reconnected and own Smosh again
Ian, a single mom who works too hard, loves her kids and never stops. A survivor.
I really want an edit of the Reba theme song with Ian as Reba now lol.
I chuckled.

i'm sure amanda heard this after this was recorded already, but for those who don't know/remember: yes smosh pit was always a thing even before the youtube channel ianh became smosh pit, and hosting the smosh pit wrap up for the week (called smosh pit weekly) is the entire reason they brought on mari. in fact you can even still today find the video of the auditions of a bunch of women, and fans voted on their favorite for the person to host smosh pit weekly, which again was mari.
ya'll give me a lot of comfort with this absolute beauty of a podcast
He looks CLEAN, HE SLAYN'
I really can’t believe we are finally doing Smoshcast again!! Feeling so much nostalgia!!
Ian’s low-key looking good💅🏽
You mean HIGH KEY?
High key Smosh zaddy 🔥
Lol
Ian is a very handsome man.
he is highkey dilfmaxxing
I love Ian explaining the history of smosh, newgrounds and stick figure animation. The very first smosh video I saw was actually posted by someone on MySpace! I can’t remember if it was linked/embedded or uploaded directly but I watched it on this person’s profile over and over.
The amount of videos Shayne mentions Reba in is amazing. Amanda looks so cute in this video. I love hearing Ian talk about his and Anthony's story.
Anthony has returned, yet somehow I find Ian mentioning Studio C the most unbelievable Smosh news to date, partly because I’ve always wanted them to collab
Maybe they can pull off a collab with JK Studios (the original cast) more than a collab with new Studio C. That the original cast is coming back for the 200th episode is like Anthony coming back to Smosh for clean comedy enthusiasts (except Anthony is staying longer)
JK Studios would be my preferred choice, but it’s a less known brand name than Studio C, and as shown by this podcast, not many of the Smosh members may appreciate the distinction. Cool news about the 200th episode though. I’d have thought they’d crossed that threshold ages ago, but I guess an episode consists of several sketches grouped together
I remember being very impressed by the quality of classic smosh videos and it’s so cool to hear that Anthony and Ian poured their heart into writing and editing those videos to perfection back in the day and it’s still very true up until today. Always feeling fresh and polished, love it!
Shayne back at it again with the "What is it, Limes?! " shirt.
maybe the same day?
I can't stop saying that line every time he wears that shirt
Honestly i had a huge crush on Ian when Smosh first became a thing on RUclips 😂😂 so i fully back the whole, Ian and Anthony were the most handsome on RUclips at the start
Ian is the mother everyone needs in their life.
I really picked a good time in the world to be a fan of Smosh, starting to avidly watch prior to the Ian/Anthony announcement, and now i'm just addicted to every upload.
Ian Deserves absolute happiness. ❤
Anyone notice Ian’s laugh is starting to sound like a mash of Anthony’s again? Love him
its been 2 weeks and i still love hearing about every detail of how ian and anthony got back together. LIKE HE JUST SOUNDS SO HAPPY MAN BOTH HIM AND ANTHONY EVERYTIME THEY R TOGETHER
As someone who worked in news for 7 years, I can CONFIDENTLEY say that Amanda got the good timeline by not staying in news.
I love how humble and chill Ian is ❤ smosh was my childhood and I’m proud of all the work he’s done by himself 😊
Literally doing this 🥹 any time Ian talks about rekindling his friendship with Anthony
May all of Smosh cast and crew have a wonderful rest of the year 💙
One cool thing from this episode, is when Ian talked about what started copyright claims. So cool how seemingly nonchalant he told the story for how much detail he remembered, while many of us would've just assumed it's there from the start.
This very quickly became the highlight of my week
Unrelated to this video, I just googled who Amanda is married to cause I literally thought she was married to Peter 😂
There was a period of time where I thought the same thing😂
Amanda's husband is just two Peters in a trench coat
Peter is MUCH younger than Amanda tho (ik age is just a number but...)
Priest: "Do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband?"
Amanda: "I swear to god, Peter."
@@dika_hilmanplease never say age is just a number again, thats not a cool or good thing to say lol
Ik Ian asked if he looks more happy and I COMPLETELY AGREE THO reasons why
1. I’ve notice that ian just has a happier look on his face when he’s with Anthony in videos
2. They bounce off eachother so we’ll that I notice he laughs more in videos
CONCLUSION: IAN IS DEFINITELY MORE HAPPY😆
i have a crap ton of organising and moving of things that need to be donated in my house, i was looking for something to listen to and i’m soooo glad i saw that y’all posted, now i’m not dreading the work as much lol
Ian seems so fun and creative and just like a cool guy
I'd love for these podcasts to be longer. I listen and watch while at work. Really helps me escape. Good stuff tho guys.
I love how amanda really listens and gives her attention to whoever is talking
I love how this podcast is cemented into my Monday evening
Ian calling Amanda's last question a Boomer question is the funniest thing
I would absolutely die if they uploaded Amanda's reporting reel.
Also im so excited to learn more about Amanda through smoshcast
So the Pringle incident on your Wiki Shane is that you're on put it in my mouth feeding Noah Pringles while he was blindfolded and you said that these were your favorite and you're eating them off the camera😂
I was gonna say this I knew exactly what it was talking about 😂😂😂
You guys should edit the wiki
Yea but then he said it was Dick flavour 🤦🏿
Pringles Challenge with Megan Batoon. He Def says they're his favorite 🧐
He also tells Noah that his favorite flavor is dick. Let's get that wiki right!
59:40 this was from a put it in my mouth episode, shayne was feeding noah pringles and said that was his favourite flavour
A single mouse who worked two jobs,
Who loved her Smosh and never stopped,
With gentle hands and the heart of a writer.
He's a survivor.
Lmao, Ian started talking about how he and Anthony started what eventually became Smosh in their freshman year of high school in 2001 and I choked because I was born in 2003 and I now feel like a toddler compared to everyone sitting at the table 😂
Ian deserves so much credit, lasting so long as a single mom. The funeral roast almost mad me a little bummed since so much almost felt too mean and didn’t have that little element of love and closeness a lot of the others have.
I don’t know if that speaks to rough relationships and vulnerability, or maybe I’m just missing something
It's a roast, mate
Hi! First time commenter. I’ve only been listening for about 6 months. But I listen to your videos all day.
Not to be corny, but you all truly do help people with your content. I listen to you while I clean mostly and watch the pit videos when I have time to myself. I’ve loved learning the story of Smosh and Ian and Anthony. I love seeing the chemistry, acceptance and all around love from the pit cast as well as producers and other crew. It really has become a part of my daily life and thank you all for the entertainment and fun loving environment you create when I watch your content!
I think Shayne and Amanda are amazing hosts. Great chemistry, so funny, love this pod!
I feel like the chemistry is off... compared it to Shayne x Damien/Courtney/Ian/Spencer/Olivia or probably he's even more matched with Angela. I want to see more Amanda tho.
Great podcast! I honestly look forward to it so much, all of this newer stuff including the D&D is absolutely amazing!
And Ian, as a 90s kid that grew up watching you guys, I'm so proud of you for hanging onto your baby after all these years, and that it's back in the hands of the people who should have it. Rhett and Link were lifesavers that I think every smoshfan will appreciate for stepping in, but I'm so happy for you and Anthony- not just for finding your way back to being owners of a company you raised from the ground up, but for giving your friendship a chance to grow from the ashes of the old ones. I think you guys are gonna come back stronger than ever
Had a really rough day, then I saw this
It made me a lot happier, thank you all
Hope your day is going better.
I'm like.... 4 minutes in and the fact that they are talking about STUDIO C is blowing my mind! Without Studio C, I would not have found Smosh. Both of these channels helped me so much during my high school years. Like... I can't even begin to describe it; they probably saved me. To see Ian have respect for Studio C is wild and a full circle moment for me. I've always wanted Studio C/JK Studios to come on TNTL, but it totally makes sense why the styles of humor wouldn't vibe well. But this was incredible and honestly... made me really happy and cry a little.
This episode is such a nostalgia trip for me and it's making me feel so, *so* old.
Def my favorite smosh cast so far love the interview questions for the guest
so im gen z and didnt know what starwars kid is but i know for a fact he would be considered cool now. How do i know? there is a dude at my college who practices with a double ended lightsaber at night on the quad every couple nights. people open their windows and cheer for him whenever we see him. truly an icon.
I KNEW I LIKED AMANDA FOR A REASON! I also worked in news as a writer for several years. It takes a certain kind of person 😂 I appreciate her all the more
Amanda's background is crazy. Azorean and Irish. Her reporting days. Wow. And she still developed a wonderful sense of humor and acting skills. Bravo.
As someone who is both Azorean and Irish, I'm like wow, why don't I look like that?
I really love this dynamic and how it allows Ian to showcase his expertise on RUclips and display his knowledge. I was a latecomer to Smosh and the newer cast members are among my favorites, but this gives me a whole new respect for Ian and everything he's been bringing to the table
This was a surprisingly somber talk from Ian. He has truly grown. In the right ways.
It is insane how far back Smosh goes. I swear I remember the furbie video, but like Shane said there were probably some similar videos. I definitely remember when RUclips started taking over and being able to put the videos on my MySpace.
They couldn't have picked a better duo to host the podcast
I personally feel like the chemistry is kinda off
@@dika_hilman i did feel something off, but it's also they're first time doing this. I bet once they get accustomed to all these new changes they'll be fine
@@Mjolvera05 I believe they can work it out. I hope they can. But to put these two in the first place is a _surprising_ choice.
@@dika_hilman you really think so? I like to think that they're opposing energies can be really beneficial and maybe they're just trying to work out a format
Maybe they just need to find a format and have sections
I’ve been a Smosh fan since 2011. Maybe 2010. It’s insane watching the growth everyone has made. Ian especially, but even Shayne. I’m so glad Ian and Anthony reconnected and own Smosh again
You guys are fantastic! So excited to watch and enjoy more content from you guys!
Shayne is such a talented actor and it shines through everything he does.
I'm living for Amanda's dramatic irony of things
I'm loving the smoshcast! Love listening to half the episode on the way to work and the other half on my way home.
