Meet the Smadams
Get to know Julia and Alec, the ones that you'll be seeing a whole lot if you subscribe to their YouTube page.
​
Where are you from?
A: I was born in Oak Park, IL, but I grew up in Kenosha, WI
J: I’m from Cambridge, Wisconsin. It’s a very small town just outside of Madison.
​
What is your idea of the ideal first date?
A: I kind of dig just grabbin’ a cup of coffee with a girl.
J: Meet at a bar that’s by their place, hit it off, go to their place and make out.
​
Is there a song you have you listened to way too many times and now you’re kind of sick of it?
A: Sadly. Dota by Basshunter. Blasted that out of my Toyota Corolla way too much in high school.
J: I have hundreds of songs that I’m sick of. The way I listen to music is if I hear a song I like I will listen to it on repeat for WEEKS. After that I don’t really want to hear it again.
​
What is your biggest pet peeve?
J: I secretly really dislike the sound of pouring liquid. Like the sound of pouring water or a drink - I don’t know why but I really don’t like it.
A: Do not - I repeat - do not ever chew in complete silence around me. The sound of chewing makes me feel all sorts of dark emotions.
​
What is your smallest pet peeve?
J: When I randomly find a hundred dollar bill on the ground as I’m walking down the street. That has actually happened to me and weirdly it did not bother me at all.
A: When my finger nails get too long. It’s like, “C’mon, Alec. Just cut your damn nails.”
​
What is your guilty pleasure?
A: Bad TV shows. Like every time I watch Gotham, I literally cringe - and yet I watched all five seasons.
J: I have a hard time feeling shame. But a few things that I do that I know I should feel ashamed of: Watching Kardashian stories on SnapChat, peeing in the shower, putting like three or four tablespoons of Nesquik in my morning coffee...I know there’s more but that’s all I can think of.
Have you ever been to France?
J: No.
A: Nope.
What video games did you play a lot as a kid?
A: Crash Bandicoot. And Gex. I was way too young to get any of the pop culture references in it, but I loved playing it.
J: I played a lot of Piglet's Big Adventure on PlayStation 2. I beat it too. Another game I played a lot was 102 Dalmatians - I seriously loved it.
Which Bob’s Burgers character do you relate to most?
J: I relate to Linda the most because she sings a lot and is kooky yet caring.
A: Bob. I’m always the guy that kind of questions why everyone’s being so weird, but yet I have moments where I’m weird myself and pretend nightlights are talking to me.
Red potatoes are on sale at Jewel. They’re two for one. Thoughts?
A: Yo, like that’s a great deal, but I kind of just want to get rid of the instant potatoes we’ve had in our cupboard for a few months first.
J: I just learned from the internet how to make a really yummy potato salad! Let’s do this!
