They have that couch and the two chairs to sit on, but instead they're just here

[@hernameispekka_Rebecca]

I never watched them back then. I assume they're trying to recreate that old vibes?

[@sagegreeeeeeen]

It’s more comfy this way

[@alfombra1054]

and it's better this way.

[@ibperson]

​@@alfombra1054 yeah but I'd be uncomfortable, so I'm uncomfortable with it

[@miaperic523]

I agree, the first thing I thought was how my back and knees would definitely NOT be happy to sit like this

[@RatKingShriggy]

90% of this video is ian just being himself and anthony giggling at him. and erin said she never heard anthony say "hehe"? he's the most hehe mf on the planet girl what

[@ZacLJones]

Ian’s whole “no one ever sits next to me” sulking bit was fucking killing me.

"bit"

[@friendsrespect-pn2lj]

I felt bad for him because he did seem serious about it, but damn it if it wasn't funny 😆

[@Error0101]

No, he meant it. You can tell if you've lived the same experience. It's in his voice and eyes.

[@baddaytrader]

[@tayleoric]

Ian wanted to restart lunchtime with Smosh so someone would have to sit beside him at lunch, confirmed

Ian is a cutie patootie confirmed

[@atheveane.nequen]

The vibes are really giving college students sitting in the hallway with 90min in between classes but too lazy to go back to their dorms or study. It's still early in the semester. They're high school friends, they went to the closest college, and they're in their third year. That semester their schedules alligned nicely, but that doesn't matter cause they always stayed close throughout the years

But why does no one sit next to him? 🤔

“Let’s talk about that” “I love deviled eggs” Ian is baby Link confirmed

[@pearlygirl88]

I was going to say that Ian doesn’t make people uncomfortable like Link does and then I had to stop and realize how wrong that statement is. So yes, baby Link.

[@abbijayne]

I read the first line and was like "oh, honey" but no you caught yourself up🤣🤣

[@directorjake]

​@@Littledebbiedowner101 you're just making up stuff about people you don't know, huh

You can tell Ian was actually hurt about no one sitting next to him, and it's so real. If you like having people around you feel a lot more when they're not

[@BennyRodriguez9]

A $100 budget podcast. No couch, lighting, or real deviled eggs.

[@iamalfred7435]

Ye, I'm convinced they didn't think flashback with smosh was low effort enough.

[@Themisteryfigure]

That’s so fuckign funny. They should do a 10 dollar podcast. Recorded on an IPhone, no mics, in Ian’s or Anthony’s house edited in CapCut 😂

Erin: "I want you both at the same time..." Anthony: "Don't stop talking there, please finish your sentence."

[@kmlamb85]

So, Erin is doing one of those projects where you record your parents talking about their lives to have record of it and y'all spun it into a podcast. So sweet.

[@myajackson1333]

Ian not saying "FIRST BITE" before eating feels like a sin...

[@LadySkywalkerW]

Yes. Something inside me died

love how this set is just a corner of the flashback set, looks like they got locked out but they still snuck in to hang out

[@MargaretFromQueens]

Ian started lunchtime with smosh back up so people would sit with him at lunch

[@scarcat2469]

Shoutout to the audio mixer Scott Neff because mixing this podcast with handheld mics where the distance and direction it’s pointing is inconsistent sounds tough.

[@nikkorocksalot5254]

Whoa yeah, it's really well done. Wouldn't have thought about it so thanks for pointing out how transparent the engineering is

[@clown-cat]

also can't hear any eating noises!! 10/10

[@gonadalsynchronicity420]

SHOUT OUT TO MY AUDIO ENGINEERS OUT THERE WE SEE YOU

[@bearwithit]

Compressors aren't hard to used

[@Kirsty-hw6hi]

anthony is so real for the gossip take. 'those who gossip to you will gossip about you' is a saying for a reason

[@timothytidwell6743]

Ian and Anthony in the corner makes sense in high school lunch. Which tells me this is going to be great and Erin being on camera makes it so much better

[@elizamae3177]

as a fellow curly hair person, Anthony’s hair routine makes total sense. I just rinse my hair and then put on leave-in conditioner outside of the shower. Curly hair needs its own natural oils to look the way it does

[@anville_6063]

This is life changing and I'm trying it thank you Anthony and Elizamae3177

[@WishGender]

I have what are probably the loosest possible curls and I need shampoo because I get way too much dandruff

[@matakucinggg]

@@WishGenderIts not dandruff it’s just dry scalp and you can wean yourself off shampoo dependency slowly !

[@artemis88899]

That's what I was thinking! I still need shampoo because I have a pretty oily scalp but I heard this from friends who also have wavy/curly hair.

[@AnnaLastname]

anthony’s laugh and smile at 20:55 🥹 no one but ian makes him laugh like that. they bring out the best in each other

[@bondickle]

There really is something special about being with a childhood best friend when you're an adult. I just reunited with mine and it was so effortless and my face hurt from smiling so much afterwards 💕

[@Rainbowkitten0]

[@andytroumbly]

"The tragedies for WHICH SIDE?" made me laugh out loud, one of Ian's funniest lines ever

[@geckopecko]

38:13 the way anthony said "aww buddy!" felt so sweet 😭 GODDAMMIT PEOPLE WHY WON'T YOU SIT NEXT TO IAN?! you get him all sad smh

[@Scrofar]

I love how they went from sitting on two comfy chairs with a fake fireplace, to exactly like high school dweebs sitting against the wall behind the basketball court at lunch. That's the peak vibe!

[@jessvachon1043]

Sesame Street actually DID explain death to children when Mr.Hooper died . The actor died unexpectedly and Sesme street actually used Big Bird as an example of a child who may not understand the concept of death. They explained it in an amazing way and it was beautiful way to honor the actor.

[@spideyjdf1979]

I love knowing Erin was a huge smosh fan when she was younger and now she's sitting in on the podcast with the boys themselves. So happy for her!

[@daanachmad4032]

Was she a huge fan? Or is she one of the few Smosh employees who have heard of Smosh prior working there…. But was never a big fan?

30 seconds in and the vibes are immaculate. Love your weird corner space, checked out Erin on her phone, the GMM teasing, and a bunch of deviled eggs with a random hair.

[@bellaluna9682]

I personally love the addition of Erin facilitating the conversation because ian and Anthony's reactions to her comments are so funny

[@puaus547]

dude the chester from linkin park answer hit me in the feels 😭😭

[@cuppiesaur]

This feels so much like a 30's years old version of Lunchtime w/ Smosh that I'm not even mad with the food choices. In our 20's, we ate whatever and didn't care, and were carefree and life was just happening - and now, on our 30's - we need to be mindful about what we eat, and how much we eat and how we eat...

[@bleusles]

Ian is very sleepy cat in this. I like it.

[@josephsaudi7424]

With how manic the other smosh shows and channels can get, as fun as they are, this and reddit stories are a really nice change of pace. Now we have smosh content for almost every mood.

[@m00nrac00n]

This + the TTRPG Jenga Zombie Series that is *actually* tense/spooky: Im fully invested.

[@ellecimz6618]

LITERALLY I go through phases with Smosh I'll binge certain kinds of content but not necessarily enjoy it in the wrong mood, TNTL only hits me in a certain sweet spot. This kind of content is good for a meh mood or lonely mood or if I can't focus enough for funny content etc. Anthony's channel is when I want to think deeper and learn about other's with some laughs here and there. Older Smosh is a silly mood like the every blank evers. I love it.

[@captainhook8138]

I love how pumped Ian got about the Disney shuttle tipping over. Then immediately getting slightly bummed wishing he could have seen it. Only to find out later they got hurt. Classic Ian 🤣

[@jjeonkims]

This podcast was so cozy. And so them. Love when Ian goes on these tangents and still relate or come back to the initial topic. Love to hear them talk and their insights on certain things. Can't wait for the next episodes!

[@AG-cz7bs]

Obsessed with Erin being in this. She’s gives off effortlessly cool vibes lol

[@zacheddy9685]

Love this vibe and the hanging with Erin. This is definitely something I'd watch more of.

[@joejocas8748]

Two dads and their daughter that inherited the sass of them both. Love it 💅

[@RaWWRcat]

One thing I appreciate about Ian and Anthony is that they both still feel familiar after so many years. Kinda weird to say, but I used to watch their mail time videos and while they're both much more calm now that they're older, the vibe that made them popular is still there.

[@tiny_shovel6570]

I actually love this? Its so chill and I like how aggressive they are with eachother in a clearly okay way? Like everyone knows they are acting like shits for fun. Ty smoosh.

[@ElicuuKit]

agree 100%. I dont get why people are complaining

[@malcfoy]

We need another podcast that's just Ian and Erin gossiping for an hour

[@EliRae42]

Love how Erin is slowly looking more and more like the child of ianthony as time goes on. This podcast already seems like two dads talking with their gen z daughter judging them immensely 😂,,,, I love it

[@hana-uj4cz]

[@sunfoxz]

anthony isn't wrong about shampoo, not everyone's hair really needs it. even if you use shampoo (i do), there's not really a reason to use it daily as that can actually cause more issues with your scalp's oil production and dandruff. 1-3 times a week is usually sufficient. "For most people, there is no medical need to shampoo at all, as rinsing with water can remove dirt and dandruff. However, some health conditions can benefit from regular shampooing. People with parasitic infections of the scalp, particularly lice, may need to use special shampoos to get rid of the bugs."

[@Nellbae]

"What do they have to be afraid of, Erin? Look at me. What about me is intimidating?" 🤣🤣 Aww, Iannn!!

Yay, I really like hearing you talk about anything! Especially Ian is so so interesting when he lays out his train of thought. I still laugh at the TNTL with the "this is an alternate universe where big bird was in the challenger disaster" bit 😅

[@christophermartinez4104]

This is the first time, outside of the backup channel and Anthony's podcast, that I've seen them like this and it's so damn cool. They're just guys having fun, making videos, and it's cool to see them just hanging out and talking.

[@mattlau95]

44:17 Anthony’s ick is SO FREAKING TRUE to me. If there’s a moment of silence that’s okay, don’t force a convo unless there’s something meaningful 😅

[@jodiewhittle1692]

Honestly Ian wanting Big Bird to be Space Fried is actually so relatable to me 🤣

[@K3vinTuCara]

it's been a year, i think it's safe to say they friends again

[@dani.k]

Ian is genuinely so funny and witty, it almost makes me feel like he could be somewhere so much bigger like on a standup stage or films, but I realized his type of humor really only works in conversation and spur-of-the-moment. I enjoyed this episode because it made Ian's humor shine--the Challenger bit and sitting-alone stories were hilarious.

[@diannapaniaguajuliao3943]

Wait it makes me so sad no one sit next to Ian at lunch, he is such a nice dude

[@nyarlolhotep514]

This is the most natural Anthony has been since he came back. It's cute :)
