This is a HeadGum Podcast. So, I'm in my stocking feet. TFW, this for when you're in your stocking feet, you have to go outside, find the Easter eggs. Right? You're so excited. Your wife did an Easter egg hunt for you.

You run outside at Easter morning. You don't even put... Stocking feet. Stocking feet. This for when. And nothing else. This for when you're in your stocking feet. The grass is fresh with dew.

Your stockings are instantly soaked. But you must find the eggs. And by the way, you have to eat them there. I have to eat all the eggs, all the treats inside. It's hard-boiled eggs with candy mushed in. And this is my job. This is my job, and I'm well-compensated to do it on easter sunday it sure is on easter sunday and it's also your job the rest of the year yes and it's your job the rest of the year today it's easter which is great i'm getting less negative attention from neighbors

on easter when i'm doing less friction from the hoa at least it's it's about just the other stuff they're not like the egg aspect of it no one's asking questions about yep i'm in my stocking feet this for when then the sprinkler goes on because someone had the bright idea to activate sprinkler mode when I'm at work. First of all, it's daytime when the sprinkler doesn't even work. The sun is the enemy of the sprinkler, kills the water. Second of all, I'm in my stocking feet. Sun is the enemy of the moon, but go ahead.

No, the sun is indifferent to the moon. They've actually never encountered each other they both believe they are alone in the sky and the opposite of love is indifferent the opposite of the moon is indifference that's right and fellas feel free to uh to share your own stocking feed experiences. But I want to talk about this because now my stocking feet are all messed up. They're covered in fresh mud. I would expect your stocking feet to get messed up. What cheeses me about the sprinklers going off is your stocking cap now has been put at risk my stocking cap is ruined and as you know i don't i'm not one of these people that wash my stocking cap wash my stocking

feet like this is like this is like the scam that they're like oh you need a special stocking cap soap oh you need like stocking feet soap no they sell you soap they this is the one of these fucked up things that like uh consumerism and capitalism and commercialism has introduced into our world where there's there's a soap for everything right and try guys you know about this there's right there's oh this is to wash your stocking feet this is to wash your stocking cap soap here's face soap here's this soap you need for your car there's one soap i'm thrilled that it's all the same thank you for having us yeah thrilled that we're starting here um try guys thing that grinds us the most to the dust go off go off

sound the alarm Kevin unleash the try guys gladiator standing there in the the gate opens we weren't sure if we were allowed to speak yet some people like an introduction some people like to be introduced anyway gladiator standing there

the gladiators the there. Yeah. The gladiators. The tri guys walk out unarmed. Armed only with their perspective. Yeah. You guys know that your teeth don't need soap at all? That's a sham. Go off! Here's your teeth soap.

Oh, here's a special hair soap for washing the one part of your head that is not the face soap part. Oh, but then you need hair soap for washing the one part of your head that is not the face soap part. Oh, but then you need another soap for your body soap. There's one soap called Zest. You guys remember when they used to sell really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really tiny people that would clean your teeth? They lived in your mouth and you they clean your teeth like that is the thing in the 90s we had and they used to sell these little really really really really oh by the way and then those little people right they repurposed they put them

in a uh you know i don't know what the term is but they put them in a big guy suit yeah and uh now they're mucinex monsters yeah yeah. Yeah. And they think I don't remember. Yeah. Now I need a special lung soap from the Mucinex monster or whatever. I'm so tired of it. And he's got a couch in there. And you know, you wonder, like, did he ask his friend to help him move the couch? Or did, like, he pay for another guy?

There's a family. Yeah, that's right. There's a family. It's a whole family. right there's a family family so right probably do you think they all move the couch together i don't uh i'm not in communication with those guys anymore but uh i can i can ask i guess if it's like really important to you i can find out well it's pretty important i can reach out through an intermediary it is it's like i don't actually sorry i didn't know you were gonna like get it

i didn't know you were gonna get into something like yeah we're not afraid to get that we were touchy about like we're obviously i think big soap is a scam he said that but then the idea that the mucinex mucinex creature shouldn't be allowed to have a couch when he has a whole family that needs to sit down i mean next thing you're gonna say that the family guy guy shouldn't have a couch i mean i just don't it doesn't seem like his legs like i don't know he just he is the shape of his body like a couch doesn't seem designed for his okay okay i'm getting really uncomfortable um uh so uh i i actually uh i dig you guys i dig your stuff yeah i'm just getting really uncomfortable with the direction this is going where we're like i mean i thought this was like

kind of attacking the body of our mind so i guess not i i thought you guys were a cool show yeah i thought you but if you're not a cool show we're cool we're cool we're cool what did you want to say so his body's too fucked up he doesn't deserve a couch like yeah it doesn't i can get into it i just need to know like, no, but there's like a whole study of how human bodies sit into chairs and stuff. And his body isn't like sitting next to your friend, each grabbing your ankle.

Yeah. That's how you sit. Yeah. That's what we do. That's one of the secrets to our success. Grab the ankle so it doesn't fall off. And then you kind of wiggle your foot back and forth. If you notice, our feet are moving like crazy.

So we have to kind of hold on to them. Both wiggling your feet. Like your feet are talking to each other. Did you see me doing that? And you start doing... Did we do that? We did that independent of each other. Just like the other day when we made like two of the same jokes

at the same time in a row. In a row? Yeah. In a row? Yeah, in a row. It's a try that's cool it's a try guys it's a try guys and these guys it's it's insane zaz zaz right and yeah chief yeah chief teeth yeah chief teeth and they're the second number try guys number two and three of four yep yep and you gotta collect them smack dab in the middle these guys are trying all this all these different stuff is that right uh yeah i mean there's a different i mean a lot of it's the same we try and repeat ourselves as much as possible and see if people notice some of it's basically the same stuff you eat it you wear it right you

jump off it what else is there am i right you you touch it you smell it i have a question i have a question actually for rainy our producer is are we recording on our end just the video of the lifeless puppet or are we recording the video of video okay cool because right now you can't see this but on our we have like a really amazing setup over here like a top of the line same but same we have a really nice set and um we also have a lifeless puppet on a chair and it looked to me we do too same we were only filming him yeah no kidding i just didn't want it to be like that you guys felt like we were copying you because i know you have a lifeless puppet his name's kevin yeah this one's ours is named kevin yeah what's your lifeless puppet named ronald ronald ronald yeah that's my name he runs after

ronald reagan yeah i don't think he's that okay to say again can we call him that now rest in peace obviously i don't care for him no one should have a restless right death slumber right yeah yeah that is a funny um sort of idea that that you need to say that because typically there's not a lot of i don't interact with a lot of dead people myself like i'm not even able to to like sort of bother them and i guess they don't get a couch either no we wouldn't waste a couch on no no i mean unless like that was something they said like oh bury me with a couch then yeah they probably would get that because like we we really do honor as long as their body fits the standards that you yeah what are your thoughts

on coffins should they be cushioned inside? Seems like a waste to me. I think they should have toys in them. Okay. So you have something to do on the... I think the cushion's taking up a lot of space. On the spectral kayak that takes you across the river into... Hell? Hell?

The Styx River? The Styx River? The one river in the afterlife. The river into hell. Hell. The Styx River. The Styx River. And the hell. The one river in the afterlife. The river Styx. Yes. That takes you into the devil's living room. The last whitewater rafting trip you get to do.

So then wouldn't it be better to bury people in a raft? Your final class five. Give them a little fucking turret on that shit. You know, equip them with something that they can actually do something with. I always imagined the Styx River looked a lot like the little river in the Phantom of the Opera. You're saying like a machine gun

turret so the devil is like rising out of the white water to destroy you. You're picking up what I'm putting down. You got like a Gatling gun inside your coffin and just come up and look i mean look if we want people to have a good afterlife we're just gonna put them in a bed a sealed bed yeah what the fuck are they gonna do with that bullet devil yeah

taste my lead bitch yeah yeah see you in hell i guess that's probably not oh yeah that's that's probably the one thing that's sort of like saying see you later hell right now yeah see you here well no the river is not in hell it gets bad to meet you oh it's wait the river is not hell it's the it's the it's the pathway the river yeah it's the white water that we cross the river yeah so i guess in this scenario we've gotten to the end of the river right there's a dock situation yeah the the the satan rises from the end of the dock but we're still waterlogged so you're approaching and you're going devil devil devil call an ambulance but not for me do you think at the end of the river because it it ends in hell right in hell's um i think it's very hot and you know heat plus water as we spoke earlier with the sun

wouldn't the river evaporate near the end of the river steam yeah it just sort of becomes a steam bath for a moment which is probably really nice probably good for the skin it is i've been in one and then then see he just looked over see yeah he couldn't even you see the body language there yeah that's the international body language code for steam bath right over there wow yeah next time you see it's very subtle if you see right that would be nice if you see what he's doing with his eyes it's very subtle i'm learning a lot yeah and we don't necessarily want to like share everything with our audience especially like the location of something like that in the home kevin having a very cozy sip cute can we see that one more time

kevin can you just take one more two-handed cozy sip must be fall yeah the way you're holding the mug it looks like it's really big must be officially fall kevin's drinking a mug with two hands wow are you still gonna steam your glasses watch out kevin i can't see oh so cute we've all been there so cute well not them they don't have glasses they don't get our i mean so it's. We glasses wearing people have all been there. Just so you know, the reason it's hot... Kevin has a hedgehog named Clippy. And that mug is...

Clippy's just taking a bath in there. Oh. And while he's taking his bath, Kevin takes little Clippy sippies. Yeah, it's a hedgehog. Hedgehogs are not the tiniest. They're normally pretty big. What was a big mug?

You think they're big? I think they're big. Oh, is that big to you? I think they're big. That's so interesting to hear, yeah, that you think that's big. Because compared to their peers. I picture a hedgehog very small. You know what is small that I thought was big?

So I've seen stuff that's really big have you ever seen a fucking platypus you ever seen platypus my whole life this is true my whole life i thought they were the size of toddlers i thought they were big big things they're like big ass they're like little tiny kittens yeah they're like you know why you know why you don't know they've never been next to anything they're evasive creatures there's never there's never like oh here's the platypus they're next to grass sometimes but then you go but how big is the grass this grass can be all different sizes you don't know or like a rock there's like a lot of different types of grass yeah and rock yeah crab grass monkey grass platypus you know they got a little poison spike behind their foot that's hot uh-huh you go

like a stiletto a toxic stiletto i got something you could try what try getting one of those things behind their foot i don't recommend it but getting some of the stuff you get into i wouldn't do either so try guys get poisoned try guys get poisoned stiletto stab from platypus i would click on it i mean it's a i'm watching that there are channels that literally are that there's a guy who gets bit by real big bugs he's running out of bugs to get bit by that's not literally that and that's the problem with the what's happening with the bees right yeah the bees are dead bees are dying and fucked up this is very big problems for our youtube content creators they have nothing to get stung by they have nothing to eat do you know do you know this

quote that i think it was albert einstein said that as the bees go so too does your youtube content that was the genius and that's why they call him that they keep saying the bees are all gone and then i go outside there they are they're like right in my fucking face and i'm like hey i thought you were all good news scientists i think i've located the bees i think they're right here around my colorful shirt you just open up a little diet coca-cola you put that poppy outside you'll find the bees real quick i found the bees yeah they're they're at my picnic maybe the scientists just aren't looking hard enough the real problem is how many ants there are so

many ants we've got to do something about them the bees were the enemies of the ants this is this is another issue could we teach the ants to pollinate and then they would start doing the job of the bees and the bees would get jealous and then they would come out and they would say hey look at me i'm back then the scientists would go we're saved well the bees are only allowed to have sex with like one lady right there's like one lady and then only some of the bees get to you're talking about the queen yeah the queen uh-huh and so like there's one that's one of your problems right there we're never addressing the problem that the bees themselves are inhibiting their population abilities you know if they had the bees should become poly they should just have some

and this is maybe some ladies in wait wait you know like not just like just one queen maybe a whole royal brigade of the bees glasses fucking the bees need to be poly and look he's gotta get poly they polynate right right guys so like why not other polys call me liberal to a fault over here but i also think these these queen bees should be given the uh the opportunity to choose different careers if they want what just because you're just because you got lady parts you gotta sit in the throne and let all the other male bees vomit honey into your mouth i don't think so yeah what would you like them to be that's the thing is i'm not i i have no desire for them my own sounds like he'd like to be whatever they want yeah it's about what they want to do i guess ants also

only fuck the queen so why the ants are crushing it there's so many i just take this quick just quickly this opportunity to say i'm not scared of bugs okay okay how many i'm not nervous to be talking about this because how many bugs so we could put bugs all over your body just try guys it's always come up yeah let's just start with okay we have your hand in a box just your hand we're gonna fill that box with ants you on board okay well let me just say this let's not this is this is like this is appealing no no no i respect that this is your show but we're not gonna you're trying to you're trying to bail your buddy out i know i'm enabling this conversation i'm reinforcing it okay i'm trying to build something here okay zazz i am looking at these patreon numbers

we're flatlining yeah it's the it's the it's they're getting out the paddles. It's like flatliners. Yeah, it's... You know what it is? Oh, that could be... Maybe that should be a new membership category. You know how you have different tiers? What if you let some of your patrons be flatliners

and they get certain perks for that? For dying? Or we could do like the EMT, like the emergency medical tier yeah the emt it's basically the patriot equivalent of them coming in with defibrillators with defibrillators for 500 a month you can help cover all the people that jump ship ship Claire yeah so what we need you know we need like something like what you guys are bringing yeah where

you like we do big stunts like this and like even people that like don't care about us and like are paying attention to us are like okay well I like to see them be hurt punished humiliated yeah what's something humiliating we could do? For the sake of argument, let's continue on this.

The first one. The bug box. Bug box. Let's say, yeah, let's say actually for the purposes of this, just to start out, maybe nothing with bugs. It doesn't really make sense. I'm not scared of them. Right, for sure.

So it doesn't really. Why would that be interesting just see me be very blase about bugs which i'm not afraid of being on my hand or anywhere else there could be anywhere they're so small they could literally be anywhere at any time yeah what if we dressed you and i both up as like big old ant queens say who you're talking to. I don't know. It was sort of a plural you. That's everybody. So even the royal you.

Everyone. Yeah, except for Saz. Okay. We'll all dress up as like queen bees or queen ants, whichever feels the best. And we'll sort of like go around and, you know, see what the bugs think and see if they of like go around and you know see what the bugs think and see if they're open to have you know see how they react to us if we're hot

we're interviewing the bugs we've got a microphone we're dressed as big bugs we're saying queens we're saying hey i heard there's no bees but you're a bee and then we hold the bike up exactly yeah exactly yep we'll put little flower petals on the mic so they're like oh this is normal right all the time i think that's a great idea they're inseminating the mic yeah they'll probably we're essentially offering them like a sex doll yeah yeah but we are dressed as that one and we're dressed like them yeah yeah yeah they're like we're dressed as their wife and we're offering them a you know it's yeah a sex toy yeah electronic sex toy and we're dressed up as their wife yeah yeah that sounds like a pretty good video i think I think it would actually pop up. I just say what I'm concerned about.

What if we, at the same time as we're scheduled to dress as the bee's wife and interview these bees, what if we have an amazing opportunity for a job interview? Or a date you know this is like a professional trip like a date with someone that like we really really want this to work out we've never met someone like this before no i think that's great but the first problem here is that you are putting yourself before your audience and that's telling me right there that that's that's where that that's where the patrons are going well here maybe we can make this work. Because both the date and the Bee interview is at the same water park.

And the professional opportunity. The interview could be happening at the food court of the water park. It's also happening at the water park. Okay, so what you're going to do is you're going to have a change of clothes. And then you're going to tell your date, I'll be right back. I have to go to the bathroom. You're going to run is you're going to have a change of clothes and then you're going to you're going to tell your date i'll be right back i have to go to the bathroom you're going to run into the bathroom you're going to very quickly switch your outfit go to the queen bee then you're going to come up with the reason why oh i forgot the regurgitated vomited honey in the other room run back and

forth you're going to stop you i'm the queen bee keep going though i don't go to the queen bee i'm the queen bee i go to my husband i'm dressed as his wife you don't think the queen is gonna confront you talking to her husband you think you're gonna march into his home and the lady of the house isn't gonna like sniff you out and be like excuse me that's my husband or at least one of my she's not there uh the geography of the uh of the bees sort of abode, I actually think would work out pretty well for this. I don't think she's going to be coming out to see me.

So you're suggesting she's just to sleep on a couch somewhere in there. I know how you feel about couches and body types and all that. Because it wouldn't make any sense for a bee to be on a couch. They would have a special chair designed for their bodies, just like couches are designed for big people like me like you the plural you all of you zazz as well so like it just it's it's kind of offensive when you guys talk about how you like oh i know everything about couches oh oh but you actually clearly don't can i just say how proud i am yeah of my friend kevin who historically we have had an issue of when people say couch

sometimes don't even say couch but are talking about like sitting down or like relaxing at all kevin you see that couch behind kevin kevin will just go back and start kind of rutting the the gap between the cushions they're just like absolutely going to town on the gap i'm actually interested in that couch you're sitting on now because i see no no vertical partition between the cushions maybe you're just sitting on the lines which we could also maybe get you two to sit back there just to provide a kind of like hey just give him a little push out of sight out of mind just so kevin doesn't kind of beat the cushion up during our recording sessions which has been has been an issue but i I want to compliment his restraint.

It seems like he's heard the word half dozen times now and is eyes forward, focused on the job. I didn't mean to tempt anyone. How could you know? How could you know? But I still, you know, maybe I should have.

You could listen to the show before you go on. I guess you could listen to the show. I guess you should have listened to the entire show before you go out. Yeah. I tried to. I didn't care for it. A lot of ads, huh?

I enjoyed those. The ads part we liked. The ads were really polished. Those were quite fire if I do say so. The ads are fire. The ads are yeet. I heard those ads and I started dabbing uncontrollably i could i couldn't contain it the smile on my face yeah i like the ad i piddled a little bit the feet are talking again yeah what

are they saying you know i just always chit chat they're always chit chatting i like wiggling my toes. We're restless boys, you know? Yeah. You know? Yeah. Hollywood Handbook. Eating better is easy with factors. Delicious, ready-to-eat meals. Every fresh, never-frozen meal

need and have needed something like babble to figure out what the heck is this person doing with their finger because it looks like a it looks like an emergency i know i'm supposed to do something or how about those people that stand in the street they're kind of like they've got like almost like police clothes on it may be almost yeah and they're standing in the middle and as i'm driving and i'm cruising they're holding their hand up for like a high five almost and they're really aggressively like pushing it out i'm like am i supposed to drive get out of the car yes or just do it out the window as i'm going that's what i've been doing.

Hollywood handbook.

So you talked about one stunt. That's basically a touch it. Yeah. We still need an eat it a wear it a jump off it tell me this have you considered a rebrand arena we are the try guys people come in they assume wow these guys are gonna do some crazy shit truth is anything been coasting we've been coasting hard for years. But people still assume,

they're like, wow, they're called the Try Guys. They probably do some wild shit. Uh-uh. That's branding. Car drives itself nowadays. Yep. You don't try anything anymore. Barely.

You hit the button and it just cruises on down the highway. Doesn't get too close to anything. Doesn't stay too far away from anything. Kind of stays right. They love it. They slurp it up. Yeah, like a long noodle that never ends. They take their slop.

Like a mosquito, even. They got long slurpers. Thank you for my slop, Try Guys. Do you mind if I turn the bowl upside down? Dribble it all over my chin, try guys? The slop you've offered me? It's delicious. And you have to just say, yeah.

Yeah. How about round two? And so our rebrand is... So if it's not doing anything, that is what we're already... So we would need to rebrand from that. I mean, do you think that your current branding is doing anything for you?

What do you think it says to the world? The world's not listening. How are you going to get them to to like i like alliteration or rhymes hollywood hollywood so this is what we're saying like go go ahead kevin kevin go ahead it's gonna say handbook what handbook alliteration hollywood hollywood handbook no well i know, I know that. Yeah. That's the name of the show right now. Oh, that's right. I'm sorry.

That's the current name of the show. Sorry, everyone. Yeah. Couch has been said a lot today, so my brain is scattered. Perfect practice. Fair. Hollywood hand. What about Hollywood

hand? Hand jobs. Even just hand. Most people would get it. They'd get it from Hollywood hand. Like, oh, you want some Hollywood hand? Oh, I get it. Hand it to Hollywood. Oh, Hollywood hand makers. But what are we doing on the actual

show? I mean, like... Put your hand in boxes. This is all you do. Oh, it's okay. You put your hand in boxes if you're not this is all you do is you put your hand in putting our hand in you're called hollywood hand you go around you put your hand in thing and at the end of every video you say gotta hand it to you and then it wraps up with a bow that's your slop the video exactly the video and the box i guess you could put a bow on the box I guess and what you talk about when the hand's in the box that's up to you brother

okay cool so I mean I know this is what works it's worse for you all it's worse for Joe Rogan like this is the conveyor belt of network sitcom rogan like this is the like the conveyor belt yep of you start a fair factor eating spotify buys yes the eating a scorpion getting covid yep yeah getting bought by spotify making a billion dollars

i get it i'm happy to like get on like with the first step of this i'm happy to do my time i want it yeah i want to get my hand into this box but i don't want to do the like early 2000s version of it i want like you guys at like it's zoomers get me zoomers can the box be digital is the box a snapchat you know what i mean i don't know what that looks like but i feel like you're the crew that can kind of sort this out for me the zoomers are always telling me to touch grass yeah is this like uh is this like a like a hand thing they're always like is this hand stuff is that go touch grass is it said as an insult i think so yeah go touch my behavior is is is deserving of that

like what i'm doing here today i'm trying to get insulted with a hundred good box ideas i promise you you can come up with a hundred good box ideas and by the end of those hundred videos you'd have a lot of views again people would know you as the the hand guys let's do it hit me with the box ideas we want you on tiktok and we want you doing the same thing over and over and over and over and over again yeah all right what do you want to be successful or do you want to be an artist choose one just hot enough chocolate that you don't actually get a burn but it hurts so just the perfect temperature chocolate would be one good box out chocolate hurt chocolate yeah i mean you can call it the hurt chocolate

you can call it yeah the hurt locker and then parentheses chocolate. Okay. Maybe that's the name of your box. I like the Hurt Locker as a name. I've never heard that before. Okay, so we don't like the Hurt Chocolate. Well... So we're moving on from the Hurt Chocolate? I just want to make sure it was heard. I think it's a good in-video gag.

Okay. But in terms of YouTube titling conventions, no. If you guys call yourself the Hurt hurt lockers that's the name of your show and every day your hands going into a hurt locker a locker of chocolate i i think that's pretty good and and it makes me think this is what i was looking for where shouldn't be a box we gotta get a damn school locker yeah oh we build it in hayes's house keep our first beginning video is always us showing up doing the combos of the two lockers putting our backpacks away and then going i wonder what's going to be in the top of the locker today yeah and then you have to reach your hand in there

reach our hand in the little audience knows but you, and you're guessing. And then you feel it, and it's a cold enchilada. I go, it's hurting me. It's a cold enchilada. It's too hot for my hands. It must be a cold enchilada. I think I know what it is. You don't think that would freak you out if you touched a cold enchilada and you didn't know?

I think you're right. It would freak you out. There'd be a me-shaped hole in that wall if my hand brushed a cold edge a lot right now. You would see me again for quite some time. I'd be jogging up the 405. Me-shaped hole. Go on. Explore that.

Explore that. Dig in. Seems like that's brought something to life in you. Yeah, me-shaped hole. I think that could be another series for you yeah and you put a me shaped hole through something like very hot chocolate or you know a stack of enchiladas like you run through it and leave me shaped holes in fun things and i run full speed through a new material every week creating effectively a me shaped hole i promise you that actually is a

very good idea for tiktok i promise you it would have incredible success yeah let's you got to figure out how to pull it off yeah there's only some materials are gonna you know do it you're gonna run out pretty quick of materials that are very well suited for this task yeah shape holeable i'm not yeah i can't honestly i'm having trouble thinking of thing of even one one yeah yeah i'm curious let's go back through some oh you know remember that excuse me okay my bad let's go back through do you remember when the old science stores the things that had lots of needle foam The mushy foam stuff that you push your fingers into. But you wouldn't go straight through that. I fucking love science store.

That would be a me-shaped dent. I don't think you make a full hole that way. I don't think you go all the way through. But when you dig a hole in the ground, is that not just a dent in the ground then? Or is it a hole? I agree with you, but I think if you're promising to put a hole in something

by running into it, I think the indentation would feel like a disappointment. Because it really does conjure up the cartoon idea of somebody running through a wall. Meshaped dent. Is that sticky for us? Meshaped dent. Just say it. Meshaped dent.

Meshaped dent. It's not doing the same. We're laying someone down on either side. Meshaped hole. They come for the hole. They seeshaped dent. Me-shaped dent. It's not doing the same. We're laying someone down on either side. Perhaps me-shaped hole, they come for the hole, they see the dent. The comment section is ablaze. People are debating. This ain't a hole. This is a dent.

The controversy could be good for us. The controversy is good for you. It's engagement. It's engagement. In fact, I want you sometimes to not even try. People are so fucking pissed that I've never made a hole in anything you make a hole that's not even the me shape sometimes i touch it and i go i'm not running into this you do a fucking hole and it's the shape of a u-shape it's not even a me shape it's

someone else and then they go he did it but i wouldn't say that it's me shape it's not him shape that that looks like... Them-shaped. What about a bunch of suds? A bunch of sudsy bubbles? Oh, yeah. A good wall of strong bubbles might do it. I haven't seen that many bubbles go outside of that. Wallace Shawn bubbles.

What's he up to right now? Text him. See if he'll join. I was curious. These guys are like, oh, oh yeah we don't try stuff anymore it's like what are they what are they like protecting what are they like trying to happening are they trying to hide for big that we don't know about yeah it's like because some people pull up the ladder some people reach down a hand so i went to YouTube.com. Oh, no.

Try slash guys. Yeah. And I see these guys are trying stuff every damn day. Yeah. And they tricked me. Let's read their recent try. Try Guys Ultimate Japanese Street Food Taste Test. Hashtag ad.

Are you a business looking to work with the Try Guys? Reach out to us at secondtrybusiness at gmail.com for all business inquiries. So that's what this is about.

I'm fucking... My hair's standing on the back of my neck just here and you read that out that's beautiful yeah they don't want us it's good writing they don't want us to talk to fanta they don't want me to know about fanta we have a really good thing going on with them right now i want you to drink a fanta and i want you to say hey mr soda man this one try guys sent me here we want you to say i would like to have a fanta after watching that incredible video oh wow that's one way to say i mean like they don't have they don't have you say like i want a fanta i mean that's, that's like the catchphrase. They want you to say, I would like to have a Fanta. Hello, store? I want to have one of the Try Guys sodas, please.

Well, only the Fanta, they have a name. The Fanta ladies get to say the phrase. And actually, it is I want a Fanta. I want a Fanta. I want to phantom yeah they are very particular about that yeah yep daddy went to phantom uh you all you could call yourself when you're in those videos the phantom menace wow wow wow oh man because if a phantom comes near me it's going to be gone forget it so nine hours ago gone. I get it. Nine hours ago. Ten seconds.

They tried something nine hours ago. Creamy soup cook-off. Chief Teef versus Becky's mom. Hashtag ad. Welcome to our latest extreme food challenge. That was also an ad. Thanks to Becky's mom for sponsoring this video. That was an ad for ourselves.

Unbelievable. An ad fory's mom and yourselves yeah and you tried something nine hours ago yeah boy are my arms tired live to take they're still fresh yeah i try something i i think you guys can do this it sounds like you're reading you're reading our content being like oh there's no way we could do this but you can the box idea is still good and you guys like neither of you have left to go get a box i know there's a box in your house i know i know i don't have one you've got have one. What did the fitness machine come in? This fitness machine? The one over your shoulder. It's hand.

I wouldn't know. Yeah. I wouldn't know. Why? Wouldn't you know? I don't deal with any of that stuff because I'm all sustainable. So anything that's going to come in something,

I don't deal with that. Whoa, i don't know please don't say it oh like so straightforward like my god i don't know what you're doing after the podcast that's what b said hey but that i mean i don't know if it would get age gated or not but that's another good you know hand in the box episode i'm not for only fans yeah it's you know it is technically something that can be really hot and not burn you more like warm yeah like it can be if it's really hot like if it was ever described as really hot i'd be nervous super hot almost almost it's like i'm not burned but i'm a little red because it's really hot it's very hot this is a concern for me it's hot burn on its way out there you had to get so

hot so i guess we really need to try something but i i think a lot of what you're describing is like it's a lot of us like either building something or like going somewhere and our strength i think you can tell i can't is sitting in front of this thing haze is reading and i am kind of alienating the guest so is there anything we could do where we could try stuff but it's more in this narrow realm that we're kind of experts could we just be trying out new noises or words okay i actually do have a format for you guys yes i this is real uh if you invited guests on and you just titled it insulting insert name until they tell me to fuck off so like how long could you have us on the podcast before we genuinely get upset

it's like mtv's boiling point yep but it's a podcast it's just a you're i guess it's just harassment or maybe it could be until he hangs up like like like uh um okay wallace sean we had so tell calling wallace sean a little baby boy until he hangs up i would watch that but you have to be ready i don't think he deserves that disrespect roll for like 10 hours i guess the issue is that we're extremely nice he's actually a very old baby boy we're all baby boys yeah i'm a baby right now at the end of the day i'm a baby too everyone here is a baby boy yeah now hayes what did you discover in your you kind of went down a little bit of a reading. So they're just going to take that incredible idea and elaborate on it.

Yeah. Take it and throw it away. First, they took the whole box thing and threw it away. Now they took that idea. Well, I guess what I said was there's an issue there and it's that we're actually really nice. We're very nice and engaging. And I think that when we go until they hang up...

First of all, we're not going to call somebody a baby boy i'm having problems with my headphones right now and i just want to let you know we've heard this one before i'm glad whoa kevin i thought you were on our team as soon as just every episode the guest has headphones especially when it gets really hot around minute 45 until your shit huh yeah as soon as I ruin your whole shit what do you think it is key take one of my ear but huh chief

teeth eats everything at Outback Steakhouse yeah it's a good one hashtag ad keeps going on six hour long journey with some special guests thanks Becky's mom for sponsoring this episode, too. I can't get sponsored on those videos. I've tried.

It's insulting to say that when it's sponsored. Unbelievable. No restaurant will sponsor me because I speak the truth, baby. Are you courting the same kind of controversy that i was with my whole dent debate because surely you don't eat everything at outback steakhouse well i taste everything surely so i put a bite i mean i don't eat the sink it's not called nibble the menu i don't i don't i don't eat them i don't eat the physical plastic and paper menu per se but i eat everything that is designed to be eaten there but i did do you watch you watch a video what if i made a video

called eating everything at outback steakhouse that keith won't because he's soft and then i go in you're you start eating the booth wow biting you Biting the upholstery. You immediately chop into the booth. Oh, God. I think it's a good video. That would be such a vicious own. We've talked about doing diss videos and courting controversy on our channel, within our channel.

Because if you remember a couple years ago, a lot of big YouTubers came in and they created beef, cross-channel beef. It was great for pumping numbers. Great for engagement. So why give that to someone else? Why not just do it on your channel? Just between you guys.

Uh-huh. So I released a video called Calling Out the Haters. And it's me fucking driving into Try Guys 1 and 4. And then they released a video that says, my response to the bad man. Yeah.

And we just go back and forth. Like six reasons you should also hate Zazz. So like, oh, that implies that someone else does and you should too. The Try Guys get their bones cracked. Number one video. 25 million views. People love that.

Hashtag ad. That one actually might have been it. Watch we get our bones cracked. Thanks, Bones, for sponsoring this video. The Emily Deschanel show? Yeah. It's lowercase, though. Oh, that's the track from the killers bones okay was it not be thugs in harmony noticing the last two years now everyone has bones yeah thank you yeah i mean look we're influencers they call us that for a reason we

tell people to do stuff and they do it yeah that's how it works which episode did you try to listen to before just so i know the third one and i've started to see what the problem is went all the way back to number three yeah typically that's when people hit their stride we don't do great with really famous guests yep we actually found that our our strength was in taking guests who are not really famous i mean i get it are you saying that's why you invited us because no no no i don't know why no you think this has gone well no what we're saying is that we have had some good episodes but obviously three isn't gonna be one of them yeah and we found that out early as we got a lot

of the really famous guests out of the way in the first like six or seven that's and then we said you know what's gonna be better and then we did 700 episodes and then we said you know maybe we try some more famous guests again these guys got 25 million views people's are cracking their bones then we bring you in and we go no it stills there's still a disconnect well we're you have to remember we're just the people getting their bones cracked we're not the crack can you just crack one bone on this video so we can get like just so someone so we can get some views just crack right on mic oh you got one i always got some i'm all out i'm always ready to go so just to go back do you not think this is going well because i feel like we're vibing i like what you guys are doing you guys are crushing your stuff has been great the box idea

all the bee stuff yeah that's i mean dude people are gonna click on this episode and be like try guys fuck i hope they talk about bees again and then yeah then we deliver you know that's what just we're here we're here for it i I said me-shaped hole, and then Chief Teeth creates this entire TikTok channel out of it. And so a lot of the stuff you've done has been super productive. I got my own shit going on today. Hey, no, no, no. Look, look, look. I mean, can we just take a second from recording for a second

and just have some real talk? You guys will edit this out. I don't know how to do that, but sure. Yeah, no, you had that really good bit about being the couch with like one arm on the elliptical and the other end of the bed like i thought that was really good you guys tried to make that shit was funny yeah that it was pretty funny you know you guys it was pretty cool look get your flowers while you're still here you know you don't want us to do some eulogy yeah get your flowers when you're still here and your toys when you're dead you guys

really tried to push that i had like this anti-mucus monster agenda which i obviously don't it's just more about the couch i gotta look at what the name of the study about people bodies sitting down so let's okay we can we can resume the episode i just wanted to point out we're it's over it's over bye the show's done we can should we get started or it's over the show is over the show is over goodbye it's done bye no this week on the patreon carl and asan discuss wrestling the boys build a hollywood handbook mini fridge on the pro version, and the Flager Ones are mostly talking all things basketball.
