Hey guys, I'm Anthony Padilla.

And I'm Ian Hecox, and together we created Smosh.

Today, we're gonna tell the story

of our lives through food.

And then we're gonna eat all of it.

You're gonna eat all of it.

Yeah, yes.

[upbeat music]

I guess I'm gonna start with birth.

I have to go with the largest thing on here, the baguette.

Really? Because I weighed

9.8 ounces when I was born.

Wow. So, I was

a big baby, so. I don't even know

how much I weighed when I was born.

Yeah, well I mean, I was just a real fat baby,

so that's why I knew that.

I'm gonna have to go with this pear,

'cause this honestly looks how my face as a baby looked.

I had the biggest cheeks.

He was the ugliest baby. Yeah, I mean

I have a picture. I don't know,

that picture could be pretty un-pear-able.

Next up, my childhood.

I'm gonna have to go with pumpkin seeds.

Pumpkin seeds are weird, I don't understand them,

and I was a weird kid. [Anthony laughs]

And I don't think a lot of people understood me.

I feel like, I sure as hell

didn't understand you. Yeah.

I was a potato.

A little potato. Yeah.

I sat around on the couch and did nothing

but play video games.

Cough potato, that's me.

My teenage years, I was a clove of garlic.

It's like great when it's happening, it's great

when you're eating it, but later it just leaves this

disgusting flavor in your mouth and you're like,

Ooh, ooh, that happened.

You know, you look back at those old photos.

Oh, you mean metaphorically.

Metaphorically it was great in your mouth.

Yeah, you thought I was being literal,

that I tasted great?

Teen years, just kinda sour.

I would have to go with a lemon.

[giggling]

I was just okay, like I had some people, like Anthony,

that were friends, it's.

[crying]

You know, teen life, middle school, high school

a lesser extent, it kinda sucked.

It's equivalent to just like, sucking on a big, fat lemon.

Young adulthood, I would have to go with the pink

frosted sprinkle donut. Oh yeah.

The pink frosted sprinkle donut is very symbolic

to our sort of coming into Smosh.

We created Smosh when we were just about to turn 18.

Uh huh. And in 2006

we made a video called Food Battle 2006.

We had a battle to see whose favorite food

could do more of this, that, and the other,

and mine was a pink frosted sprinkle donut.

Still hard to say.

My young adulthood, pasta.

[crunching] Pasta, my bad.

'Cause my hair!

My hair, I had the biggest emo flaps.

And this kinda looks like it.

What? If you hold it correctly

with enough imagination.

This is more representative of having curly hair.

Well this is, it could also be the curly hair

that I hated, which I now embrace.

Having really straight hair when you have

really, really naturally curly hair pretty much

is all that is ever on your mind.

You can't go near water, you can't be near a waterfall.

Yeah, let it out.

It just curls it up. A waterfall?

How often were you by waterfalls?

Once, and it sucked.

I hated it.

It's really funny that you mention your hair

'cause for adulthood, I'm using broccoli.

That's for your adulthood?

Up until about like a month or two ago,

this is kinda what my hair looked like.

It looked like just a broccoli.

I think I'm tofu.

'Cause I'm really bland and I have no personality.

No, because tofu is either really disgusting

or really good depending on how you season it

and cook it and prepare it.

And I feel like right now I'm learning how to season myself

and prepare and cook myself well.

What are you in the future?

For the future, I'm also gonna get metaphorical.

[Anthony laughs] Here's a coconut.

Because, Wait, can I hear it?

Can't hear anything. Is it a good coconut?

[inhaling] Oh man, that smells good.

Stop smelling my future. Oh, sorry.

Coconuts, there's some good stuff inside.

Just like life.

You don't know what it holds, you don't know how much

good stuff is inside there, but either way,

if you want the good stuff, you gotta work hard for it.

That's my future.

All right, my future.

The peanut butter? My future is peanut butter

'cause it's delicious. And your future

is delicious.

You want some, you want some of my future?

No, you can keep your future to yourself.

All right, suit yourself.

I'm Anthony Padilla.

And my life, so far, has been a pear, a little potato,

a clove of garlic, pasta, tofu, and some delicious,

delicious peanut butter.

I'm Ian Hecox, and my life has been a baguette,

pumpkin seeds, lemon, pink frosted sprinkle donut,

broccoli, and a coconut.

Typical.
