I don't do yoga naked,

but not naked. We've all seen the

Instagram videos, Anthony,

Don't dox me like that, bro.

[Ian chuckling]

[screen beeping] Hey, GQ, I'm Ian Hecox.

And I'm Anthony Padilla of Smosh,

and we are here today to show you our essentials.

[text beeping] [calm music]

Grooming stuff. Grooming stuff.

I brought this stuff called Everyday Oil.

It's very good for the skin.

If it's dry out, my skin gets very, very funky and dry.

And you don't need to get into specifics

of where you put it,

but you put it all over your body?

It can go everywhere, I've heard.

It's great if you have dry skin.

I have chronically dry skin

around the nose areas. [text buzzing]

You could even lather it on your face

before you go to sleep.

It's gonna leave a disgusting mark

on your pillow in the morning,

Oh. But your face

will be nice and refreshed.

Have you done that?

Once or twice.

This is the Philips Norelco OneBlade.

This company ought to pay me money,

because I have turned so many people on to this thing.

It'll go to, like, your skin.

You could do this. [razor buzzing]

It doesn't stab you, it's waterproof,

it comes with, like, different heads,

so, you know, that's why I got got this,

cleaned this up today.

I've been using this thing for probably, like, eight years,

and this is probably the second one I have?

Used as kind of like my backup.

Oh, oh, I get it.

It's for the ass hair.

[Anthony laughing]

[text beeping] [soft bright music]

Vitamin D gummies.

Next one. [gummies rattling]

Oh.

It doesn't roll that well.

You might see a theme for me throughout this video.

I am afraid of the sun,

and therefore, I thought it'd be good if-

Are you a cave-dweller?

A little bit, a little bit.

The more you know, I didn't know you were a cave-dweller.

I grew up with my parents being like, you should, like,

If you're going out in the sun, you sunscreen.

You would be wearing sunglasses in the backseat of a car.

I still wear sunglasses in the back of the car.

It's bright as heck.

In the backseat of the car?

Sure, there's windows, aren't there?

But you don't have to stare at the sun

from inside the vehicle.

You don't use sunglasses to stare at the sun.

Oh, you're right.

Because we spend most of our days, like, in an office,

I don't get that much exposure to sun,

but since my skin isn't absorbing

a lot of, you know, sun rays,

I thought, you know, I might be deficient.

So, a little D3, K2. [gummies rattling]

Is that why you've been in a better mood lately?

Maybe, I'm on that D,

[text beeping] [rhythmic music]

This is my palette knife.

Do not fuck with me.

Okay. I will not be able

to stab you with it, it is for painting.

It is my favorite tool that I use.

I just picked up oil painting in the past month,

so I am, by all means, not a professional at all.

You can actually, especially with oil paint,

scoop up large chunks, smear it,

because then when you smear it, there's like,

you know, you could have like an ombre,

or you could have different colors fading through it,

depending on the pressure,

and they are not all made equally,

because some of them are so hard

that it just smashes the canvas

when you scrub across it, okay.

But this has give.

Look at that give. [knife creaking and pinging]

so, when you're pressing it,

you can still get the effect you want,

but it won't just smash it into the canvas.

I think you also use that to, like, spread frosting.

This, yeah, but is it gonna have that give?

I don't think it's gonna [knife whooshing]

have that give. That's a good give.

Before I picked up oil painting,

I had no other creative outlet in my adult life

that was strictly just for the sake of creating.

It was always in my head, what will it be like

when it's released?

What will the response be like?

Growing up early on, on YouTube, in 2005,

like, that was my first place I could be like,

Whoa, everything I create, I could get a response for it,

but this is the first time that I've created

just for myself,

and it's cool, It's kind of like journaling,

but with, like, abstract visualization.

Anthony's about to leave Smosh

for a full-time painting career.

Honestly? I just know it.

I just know it. Honestly?

It's happening again.

[Anthony] Mm-hmm.

[text beeping] [rhythmic music]

We cannot leave the house without

[table thumping] our diamond Play button.

Yeah. You gotta have this

everywhere with you.

We bring it with us, you know, everyday outings,

hiking, grocery store.

It's a reminder of how freaking goated we are.

Yeah, never forget how goated you are.

And never let them forget.

No. For those that don't know,

you get the diamond Play button

when you surpass 10 million subscribers,

which was, subscribers were a metric on YouTube

that people used to care about.

When they announced the diamond Play button,

we were one of, like, five channels

that got it, right there. Yeah, this was 2013.

It might've been 2012, but I believe it was 2013.

Honestly, It's pretty sweet.

And it's 30 pounds, or some shit?

I mean... And we almost lost it.

We didn't know where it was for a second. [chuckles]

It has multi uses. If we ever can't get

into, like, a fancy restaurant,

we're like, Um, excuse me?

And I pull it outta my wallet,

and I'm like, Do you know who we are?

Can you read that text? Yeah, mm.

Mm. Yeah.

Like, I'm the best at being

down to earth. Are you the most...

I'm the most fucking humble person

I've ever met, bro. I am the most-

I'm the most humble. I'm the most humble.

Bro, I'm the most humble. I am the most humble.

I'm the most humble. I am the most humble.

I'm the most humble person.

[table thumping]

We're the most humble people.

We are the most humble people.

[text beeping] [bright rhythmic music]

So, these are Jacques Marie Mage.

They're handmade in Japan, number 95 out of 200.

Those are sick, I feel like your entire look

upgraded when you got those.

Oh, it did, I had, like, the very basic,

like, 2012 white dude aesthetic.

I'm trying to be a little more quirked up these days.

You getting quirked up?

Yeah. I think that that's

the number one comment right now,

is just how quirked up you are.

I had, like, heard this stuff about how, like,

most of, like, the eyewear business is, like,

mostly owned by one company.

I've kind of, like, made it my mission

to buy only from, like, independent brands,

brands that aren't owned by this mega company,

and it's nice to wear some nice glasses,

and it makes me look less ugly.

[Anthony chuckling]

[text beeping] [soft music]

This is my yoga rug? [rug thumping]

Rug?

So, I got into yoga.

Oh, it's ribbed.

About a year ago now,

and I was like, Oh, this is just some stupid, little thing

that I'm gonna try out for a little bit,

and get bored of again,

just like everything else I try out,

but it's been hugely life-changing for me.

My energy has gone up, my mental health has increased.

On to the specifics of this yoga mat,

I saw this ad, and I thought that it was

this genius marketing ploy,

where they were trying to make a rug

sound better than the mats that most people use,

and they were like, Oh, it's less grippy,

so, it's more difficult.

I was like, I don't want something that's less grippy.

I thought the point of the mat

Yeah. Is to have a grip?

So many different muscles are activated

when you are not relying on your grip.

You're actually having to use your body.

So, it's forced me to activate muscles

that I never had activated before,

the teeniest, tiniest little muscles,

and not to mention, I don't have to lay my body

on a cold-ass mat when I

Yeah. Practice in the morning.

Or you could just wear clothes,

instead of just doing it in your-

But then it gets too hot. Instead of doing it

in your underwear. And you get really wet.

I don't do yoga naked,

but not naked. We've all seen the

Instagram videos, Anthony.

Don't dox me like that, bro.

[Ian chuckling]

[text beeping] [soft music]

I brought condoms, and the reason I did this

is because I saw Jack Harlow's 10 Things,

and I saw that he brought condoms,

but he brought Trojan condoms.

[screen whooshing] So, these are condoms.

I really like the grip on them, and they're just effective.

[screen whooshing] And I'm like, Dude,

you're like, flexing a Rolex,

but you bring, like, the Kia Soul of condoms?

These are like the Rolls Royce of condoms.

It just looks like a stick of gum.

True. So, you know,

you just put it in your... You could have fooled me.

Slip in your pocket. Yeah.

[Ian] And it comes, like, individually wrapped,

[paper crinkling] you see.

Mm, and they've got very detailed diagrams on the back.

Yeah, I know. Very detailed, that's-

Can't tell if it's this way or this way.

Either way, it works. I think it's that way,

and then it comes in, like, this little pouch,

and then it has, like, little pull tabs.

Dude, how many times have has it been, like,

low light situations,

It's so bad And you're

in the middle of something,

It gets so bad.

And then, like, hold on...

[Anthony] Yeah, yeah.

Jack Harlow, get good.

[text beeping] Self-cleaning water bottles.

I don't really drink a ton of water,

unless I have a water bottle in my hand.

That's been hugely helpful

in reminding me to drink it. [cap squeaking]

This is a unique thing made by Lark.

In the cap, it has this function that uses UV light.

I do not know the science behind it.

For about 10 seconds, it'll shine a UV light in the bottle,

and clean out the bottle,

so you don't have to deal with finding mold

in, like, a weird crevice in the corner here

that you couldn't scrub out.

I could put in water, take a sip, and then press the button,

and when I do that, you'll see that the top

lights up blue when it's cleaning,

and I could taste a noticeable difference after I drink it.

And LA water is kind of garbo.

I walk everywhere with a water bottle.

Once you get kidney stones, you always want

to make sure you stay hydrated forever,

for the rest your life,

so you never get kidney stones ever again.

Apparently, you could even, like, take this camping,

and just go, like, straight into the stream,

as long as the water's not super brackish.

Yeah. Like, you could sanitize

the water enough to drink it.

When you stop your car in traffic,

'cause there's too much traffic,

and you get the side of the road to go pee,

and then you get lost and you don't find your way

back to the car for hours,

[water sloshing] just in case there's

a stream...

I thought you were gonna say you pee into the bottle.

Yeah, does it sanitize your pee?

I don't know.

Hmm. It'd probably be better

than drinking pee straight, though.

Well, we just got our next video idea,

so, thank you so much for having us on here.

[Ian chuckling]

[text beeping] [rhythmic music]

A photo with me and my mom in 1989.

I was maybe two, and my mom was maybe 22.

I really like this photo, it's just, it's candid.

I have a pretty sick kind of Mohawk vibe going a little bit.

My mom cut my hair.

Yeah, I keep this up on my fridge to remind me

that sometimes some feelings that I feel

is coming from a place that was developed around this age.

I feel like the more therapy you go to,

and the more you learn about yourself,

the more that you realize that sometimes

some of the feelings that you have

are actually feelings that you developed

as defense mechanisms when you were maybe around this age,

and I can kind of have more empathy for myself

when I'm reminded of what I actually looked like

when a lot of these feelings developed.

Actually, your hair's not too different from...

Trying to go back to my roots.

[text beeping] [upbeat music]

In continuing with the theme

of me being afraid of the sun,

I have my mineral sunscreen.

I pretty much don't ever go out into the sun

without having some kind of sunscreen on me.

I generally go towards mineral sunscreen,

because I had heard that, like, the other kind of sunscreens

get absorbed into your bloodstream.

Maybe nothing bad will come of that?

Do you wear it every day?

Like, even when you're going, like,

when you know that all you're doing

is walking from your car to a building?

This is LA, so my face is also dry,

so, it's a moisturizer. Oh.

It's a moisturizer,

as well, yeah. Okay, so, you got

double duty in that container.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Because a lot of times, first of all, it's kind of gross,

like, it leaves white streaks, and it looks weird on camera.

Are you guys seeing white streaks?

Am I reflecting?

Thanks for watching.

These are our essentials.

Bye. Bye.
