Hi, welcome to Smoshcast, I'm Shane Topp.

And I'm Amanda Lee-Han Cantto, and we are here with our very special guest, Anthony Padilla.

Yeah.

Something I never thought would ever happen here on the Smoshcast.

Seriously, well, I mean, because this Smoshcast has been around a while, and I think the very first episode that you guys did was talking about, the collapse of defy.

Right, and then the first episode of this reboot is talking about you coming back.

You guys coming back and buying Smosh, and Smosh being whole once again.

It's so wild just how there's this huge story to it now, you know?

It's the most insane story on YouTube, I think.

Like, the most insane arc a YouTuber has had.

That's ended well.

Yeah, hasn't ended in like, oh, then that's how their career ended.

That's true, it's funny when Ian and I first started talking about it.

We're like, okay, so I guess, you know, as wild as it sounds, if and when this ends up happening,

our story will now be that we were the guys that sold our company for $0 worth of stock,

and then bought it back with more cost more than that.

So many people want to know what you bought it back, and we want to ask, because Ian will never tell.

It will not be said.

That's that's trade secret, working and working at defy, and over the years,

seeing those businessmen who are running defy, the more that I'm like,

why did you sell it to them, like why, why did you trust those guys?

We did not see the businessmen face to face, and the businessmen had cycled and changed many a time
