 What is up everyone? We are back talking Shmo down talk today. That is what it is. Battle the Shmo's episode four here. We got some great, great, great. I mean some fantastic stuff to talk about today. Me and Cody both here talking some fantastic stuff in the Shmo down talk. And we hope that you guys will be joining us either on iTunes, SoundCloud or on YouTube, whatever you guys want to talk about. Which ever platform. That's what we're talking about here. We're talking Shmo down some great matches happened this week that I thought were a lot of fun, not a high scoring games, but some nice fun, some nice new competitors. And really, I think we should just get straight into it before we get into it though. Cody, why don't you introduce yourself again? Of course, my friend. Hey everybody, how's it going? So yep, I'm back here with Zach. My name is Cody Curtis. I'm ready to talk about this. We got some new competitors and we got some old ones returning and it was so great to see guys. Thank you for showing up. And if you're here from SoundCloud and iTunes just to reiterate what Zach said, you guys are all rock stars. Thank you for showing up. Thank you for the support and thank you for listening. Zach, why don't we get started? Yeah, I know you're right. Let's get straight into this. I think we should start with superhero news. I think we should start with the superhero news versus box office breakdown. Of course, we both seen these teams together, but obviously with different competitors at the time. And I have to say, I like the match. It was nice. It was it was cute. What about you? What do you think? Yeah, no, I don't have a disagreement there. I thought it was a very, very enjoyable match. You know, we aren't really in the championships right now. We're just introducing new teams and new team players to the games and for introductory matches. I thought this was pretty good. I thought every competitor in this match, they did a great job. Yeah, but of course, box office breakdown came to show. I mean, really looking at these people, the new teammates we have here. We got Frank and Amy from team box office breakdown. And they have a nice future here. I wouldn't say they're one of the starring rights, but I think we all said that about team action last year. Team action, I think came out of nowhere and really were some of the most fun competitors to watch, but also one of the most fearless. And I think maybe they could show up to be that, but I think they'd be more of heroes, but also looking at team superhero news, you got Sean and Sabina. And I mean, let's be honest, Sabina was probably one of the sweetest competitors I think we've ever had in a just, I mean, Sabina, actually, you know what? I got this totally wrong. I'm totally saying this right. Did superhero news one right over box office breakdown? Or am I wrong? Yeah. Superhero news. Superhero news run. No, superhero news run. Oh my God. I cannot believe I just got that wrong. I am so sorry for everyone watching this. I got the two teams mixed up, but no, seriously, Sabina and Sean were great competitors in this. But going back, honestly, box office breakdown, they're cute. I liked Amy and I thought I liked, I liked Happy Go Jackie. That's his Twitter name. But I overliked Amy. I thought she was one of the nicest, sweetest competitors we've ever had in the Shmo Down and superhero news came to play again. Like I said, I think it could be the next team action, not in the heel category, but more in the hero category. No, I completely agree, Zach. Yeah. I mean, in all honesty, where everything is going right now, the superhero box office breakdown, it was a great match. I thought it was a lot of fun. And I mean, come on. This match kind of made my heart want to melt. It was kind of adorable, but also kind of heartbreaking to see that the fact of the matter is it was kind of a crushing defeat. But it was great to see. I mean, seeing new competitors in the Shmo Down. I can't really complain. It was great. Yeah, no, completely. I really like that. And then of course, we can go to the next match. I mean, before we get really moving on to the next match, I do I do want to say like the superhero news versus box office breakdown was a cool match. I thought they had some really cool questions in there. I mean, going just going through some of the questions, they were very easy. Like honestly, like I would have gotten a perfect round that first round. And some of them were a little too easy. Like the beauty and the beast question. Where where where's Emma Watson? Where not Emma Watson? Where where is Belle from? Like, where does that take place? Duh, France. I thought that was an obvious one. It was. It most certainly was. And you know what guys, before we move on, Zach is right. The first round of this pretty easy. In fact, I thought everything up until round three, I thought was pretty simple. Some of the questions here and there, you know, it's kind of like last week for me for the introductory match. I thought some of the questions were easy. Some were difficult as it usually goes. But this was just a great show of showmanship and just a great overall match to begin with. And you know what guys, before we even continue on to the next match, we need to remind you that at the end of this video, you need to start for them now. If you've got questions, they need to be specifically either Shmo Down questions or what Zach and I think about the Shmo Down and just leave them some questions and we'll get to them at the end of this podcast. But right now it says that the techno drone says he's seeing Black Panther tomorrow. Techno drone. That is great news. But Zach, let's move on to the next match, shall we? Yeah, no, of course, let's move on to the next match. And the next match is Janine the machine versus Bonnie Somerville. Now, this is one of the matches that if you will watch last or listen to last week's podcast, you guys know I'm a big fan of Bonnie Somerville. This is one of the most anticipated match. Of course, Janine the machine, let's be honest, she's on Jay Washington's crew and Jay Washington, big props to him. I'm glad to see him already back. I know he had throat surgery, which is horrible, man. I can't imagine having that on you, but it's glad to see him back. Glad to see him with spheroes, just energy in here. And this match was my favorite of the week probably. And you know what? No, it will. It will. Even though the other match was Q and it was nice and some of the questions were a lot of Disney fight and I got it. This was a really good match between Bonnie and Janine because we finally got to see Bonnie Somerville again. This is someone we haven't seen since she faced Makuga and I really liked it. Now, given some of these questions were way too easy. And I'm like, Bonnie, come on, come on, girl, you should have gotten these. But Janine the machine, she came out on top at the end and I think she utterly deserves it. I can't wait to see where she goes next. But again, Bonnie Somerville did a good job and I hope this isn't the last time we see her for a long time. I hope we get to see her again soon. Yeah, absolutely. I mean, Bonnie Somerville, she's a singer, she's an actress. She does pretty much everything under the sun. She's extraordinarily busy, but I've been following her since the early days of the showdown when Bonnie Somerville, she wasn't just, you know, she wasn't just a computer in the showdown. She was also a regular guest on the Shmoos No podcast. She was also somebody who would come in and would be a presenter for the You Reviewers Awards. She's been very active with the Shmoos, with Christian and Mark and everything that they've been doing over there. And I was so happy to see her return. Although the match didn't go in her favor, I think it went into the favor of the fans because we all got to see Bonnie Somerville come back. And it was just utterly great. And honestly, this match, once again, I thought it was just okay. Once again, thought it was fine, very enjoyable, but just okay. Yeah, no, no, I can get what you mean by the okay. It was a very low-scoring game. A lot of these last few matches have been very low-scoring games, which is a little disappointing, but I mean, we're really building up. We're getting some new competitors in here, which is nice. I mean, you and me are in a part of a fantasy draft league with a bunch of other great YouTubers. But I mean, this is the thing, is that a lot of these people we haven't really picked because they're all new people to the league, which that's what I like about this though, is it kind of opens me up to see where are these other people from? What are their YouTube channels? What are their entertainment medias are they from? Because then it kind of opens a door for me to go check out their stuff too. If I like their personalities on heroine, like looking at box office breakdown and superhero news, I'm going to go check more of them out because I like seeing that. Of course, it was this match with Jeanine the machine versus Bonnie Somerville is a really great addition to the whole Shmo Down and the start of it. I will say though, Jeanine the machine's attitude is just such a bad ass and I love it. Absolutely. You know what? It actually kind of reminds me of Sarah Connor from T2 though when she got all buffed up and she trained and she got super, super strong. That's the kind of attitude that we got from Jeanine the machine and you know what? Just like the film suggests, Jeanine the machine, she was an absolute terminator when it comes to going up against Bonnie Somerville and of course the questions after the matches were done, the interviews, it was great to see, you know, there wasn't a team top 10, there wasn't a JTE. I felt everybody everybody was pretty fair when it comes to this celebrating and then talking about how they could have been improved just overall very good and surprising sportsmanship for this week in the Shmo Down. Yeah, no, totally agree with you on that. There was a lot of good showmanship, a lot of good rivalry. I love Jeanine the machine versus Bonnie Somerville round two again because that was really nice chemistry right there going back and forth, back and forth. I will say though that there was one question that Jeanine the machine got that she missed. There's two of them actually. One being the Moana question. Now at first of course you're gonna say Maui because Maui's the one that shapeshifts but I didn't even like I even said oh yeah Maui and then I was like oh wait no that's wrong. The grandma and I'm like Bonnie come on get this, Bonnie come on get this and no my other favorite questions Jeanine the machine got which actually brings me to one of my favorite anime films as a kid and I actually have it right here right next to me. It's a little film called Surf's Up. Now this film that voices the main character it is the great Shia LaBeouf. Shia LaBeouf. What looking at when she went to multiple choice you see Joseph Gorinlev you see Justin Timberlake you see Edward Noran and you see Shia LaBeouf. Your last thought is it's not Shia, it's not Edward Noran. It's probably JT or JL and she went with JL and Bonnie Samuel and JT which were actually pretty good guesses but you're not a kid like me at heart you're not going to know that of course it would be the great Shia LaBeouf. Yeah the great Shia LaBeouf and if you guys know Shia LaBeouf then you know his phrase to just do it. Unfortunately though unfortunately just Bonnie didn't get the question right and she didn't just do it but like I mean guys I can't really complain about the matches like I said I'm over the moon that Bonnie is back and I'm hoping that she'll stick around longer this time. She's an actress and of course everybody who works in California in the Hollywood in the film industry they're very busy like 24 seven all the time but you know hopefully she'll find some time to where she can stay with the Shmo's and get some stuff done but I mean this was just awesome. Yeah no I agree I really liked her seeing in there and I mean a lot of the anime questions they were nice again a lot of these questions would have gone right. I mean you can kind of tell I feel like they kind of par like how hard of the questions the competitors you got to throw some strength some weaknesses in there for everyone and I want to see more of this whole thing in general I really enjoyed this match and of course Ken Knapsack seeing Christian Harlock them all back again is just some of my favorite stuff in the whole Shmo down and again I love just the talking but the one thing I did forget to mention about Brock's offers breakdown and superhero news that I do want to go back to is it was great to see Rachel Cushing modernize talking and commentating with Mark Ellis it was great to see I love Rachel Cushing. Yeah no the hosting of this whole entire week was great I mean we had Mark we had Rachel we had Christian we had Ken we had Mark we had the entire gang and Rachel Cushing we've already discussed that we feel that she's going to be the one to take this whole entire competition by storm because Rachel Cushing it's her and the rest of the woman's year when it comes to the Shmo down and once again we got to give praises and accolades to everybody who is in charge of running the Shmo down to hosting it to Christian and Mark for creating this game show everything that they do for the show it just one ups itself almost every single time it doesn't always but this game is fantastic and Mark and Christian thank you so much for creating this you guys are awesome you guys are great hosts when it comes to this show. Yeah no I agree they're some of the best hosts on YouTube in general I love seeing their back and forth Mark is a funny guy Christian he just is the style of WWE itself into the movie trivia Shmo down but guys range where the ends of this obviously this wasn't a big weave for the Shmo down so make sure to comment down below leave some live questions if you're in the live chat there's a couple people watching if we get some live questions with me discussing them if not then cool we have next week's talk more Shmo down because that's what this podcast is about it's talking Shmo down with all of you great people but also there's some other great things coming up I mean there's a ton of great matches coming up and I mean in general like I can't wait to see where we go within the movie trivia Shmo down. It's going to be interesting for sure especially we know we got the championship matches coming up and the one I'm most looking forward to is team top 10 versus team Patriots because we know those personalities they're going to clash and it is going to be entertaining to see it's going to be a clash of the Titans it is going to be just fly out amazing and of course as we've already established the amount of personality and energy that goes into each one of these episodes especially towards the championships the competitive nature it's it's something else entirely it's fantastic. Yeah no I agree now I am looking up right now who are the next few matches to be coming up and I want to I want to discuss this so obviously if you're a Patreon member you already have Makugo versus Scarpino up actually we won't be talking about that until next week of course when it actually goes live I don't want to do any spoilers for that and same with Bibiani versus McQueenie which also be with next week but that will be a big big match Bibiani versus McQueenie but before that on February 27th we have a big match against people that we don't know it's the Kingsman versus the World's Finest now no one knows who these teams are but there's a lot of things going around of what rumors could it be who will be these people do you have any guesses to who the Kingsman or the World's Finest might be the Kingsman and the World's Finest to tell you the truth at this stage in the game it could possibly be anybody I'm really hoping that it's somebody that we've never seen before though I really wanted to be somebody we haven't seen before and they'll come bursting out of the gate and they'll be one of those competitors that is just on the level of Rachel Cushing on the level of top 10 and on the level of JTE to where they're just unstoppable oh yeah no I agree I love the names for both of them but you know what I will say I'm looking up a theory right now someone's saying World's Finest Kalinowski and Breanne and the Kingsman is Stacy and Janine now I don't know if I totally believe that one because looking at it I think it's some people that maybe some a team that we saw on the awards show for the Schmodown that maybe would have been in there but I will say if it's if that's the match up that's going to be a fantastic match yeah it absolutely is and here's the thing the World's Finest if that is Breanne Chandler and Mike Kalinowski I'll just say this the name fits that's all I got to say plus there on my Schmodown fantasy draft so oh yeah lucky you please do good plus I have Stacy Howard for singles because Stacy Howard is the Jessica Rabbit of all smart things in the Schmodown knowledge now the last other match I do want to bring up is that McQueen versus Bibi Oni that is two of the best competitors in the Schmodown going head to head Bibi Oni the beast and McQueenie the godfather I mean there's some of the smartest people in the Schmodown I cannot wait to see what they do yeah you know what this is this is some intense stuff we got headed our way it really really is I mean Bibi Oni versus McQueenie this is like two two mobster gangs going up against each other I mean this is like the FBI versus the the mob inside of inside of the departed this is the I mean probably a really really bad analogy but this is just two powerful heads going up against each other and it's going to be impressive when it gets here and it's going to be one clash of the Titans yeah it literally is a clash of titans pretty much Hannibal Lecter versus the godfather that'd be a pretty good comic movie or not even a movie a comic book they'd be pretty good at but guys it looks like not a lot of people are giving questions out today I know we kind of this is a weird time it's usually not as normal time we'll be getting back to our normal time later on me and Cody have a ton of great things planned so I think this is where we're going to end this podcast for this week of course next we will probably be longer since we got three matches to talk about and almost all three are pretty big matches hopefully none of them disappoint I think Makuga and Miss Carpino is probably going to be one of the most entertaining matches I'll say the least I mean Makuga is one of my favorite players I love Makuga to death but guys really I think that's going to be it for this podcast a battle the shamos Cody where tell them where they can find yet oh yes I will Zach but before I do there's one big announcement we had to tell everybody guys if you've been
