Vlog 5: Our New House Tour!

♪ Let’s go eat lunch ♪ ♪ Let’s go get lunch ♪ ♪ And bring it back here ♪ Welcome to our house tour. I thought we were gonna say that in unison. All right, three, two, Welcome to our house tour! Yeah! We decided to rent a house in order to then give you a tour of it. That’s not why we rented a house. The reason why we wanted to rent a house was because our studio, there’s a lotta people there. We love all of them, though. But it’s… We have to go into, like, running-a-company mode. So we wanted a place that is, like, “Hey, when we’re here, “we are creative.” And also, it’s gonna be kind of a home base for these flocks. Yeah. Would you like a tour? Yes. How do these things usually start? Like, “Here’s the front door! “Let’s go insider.” I’ll use this one. Yeah, that’s typically the one that’s open. Welcome to our creative hideaway. Check it out! There’s a big room here. And there ain’t nothing in it! You keeping it steady? ‘Coz people have been complaining about your shakiness. Listen. I know y’all complain about my shakiness. I’m frickin’ wired, man! Let me try to see how steady I can keep it right here. Look at that, it’s pretty steady. Yeah, you set– Yeah, it’s on the mantlepiece! The frickin’ camera down. Okay, let’s get the tour started. As you can see, this is just a giant room, slash, I think, technically, you would have a dining room table here, if you were the kind of people that were gonna dine here. What is this slot up here, that is like a weird slot? That’s where we hid the bodies. This is the kitchen. Now, it’s gonna be very echo-y in here. Very echo-y, and I don’t wanna hear any complaints about it, okay? I’ve already seen the comments. So echo-y. Here’s what we’re gonna do. There’s gonna be things in here, and it won’t be as echo-y. I don’t think people are gonna be complaining about the echo. I think they’re just gonna be complaining about why we rented an entire house just to be creative. It’s a little– Let’s talk about this, Link, let’s talk about this. Listen, there’s people buying Bugattis for themselves or other people, and doing all types of stuff. Spending the money that they’ve earned. And there’s no judgment associated with that. But I’m just sayin’, as ridiculous as it may seem to rent a house, it is a reinvestment in what we’re creating. Well, what my wife said was, she said, “Well, you realize “that when you tell everybody that y’all are renting a house together, “they’re just gonna be like, “”Oh, so they are gay.”” No, this is just a creative place. What he’s saying is, we’re not gay. But he does have his arm around me, kinda. Okay, this is perfect. Keep going. Typical, typical kitchen here. You know, it’s got things that you eat. this isn’t a bedroom. This is an office. Look at this, two closets. Two closets. The closet has a closet. Oh, I didn’t know there was a pass-through. Yeah, there’s a pass through. of what just happened. The reason they saw this is because it’s a trick that you can play on young people or stupid people. Hey, guys, what’s up. I’m gonna prank my friend, Link, today. It’s gonna be awesome. Check it out. Ahh, my knee still hurts. Typically, the guy who is being pranked would not be here for the set-up. Can I prank you? Yeah, prank me, yeah. Hey, guys. Hey, guys, This is my friend– I got my friend, Rhett. He’s gonna prank me. I’m gonna prank him. Hey, dude. Hey, man. I’m sorry, just give me a minute. I gotta go in my closet. Okay. Well, I mean, how long you gonna be in that closet? Is it safe in there? Help me! Help me, I’m in the closet. Ha, ha, ha, pranked! Pranked! Pranked! You got me, man! Pranked! All right, now what? Okay, this one attached to a bathroom. I will say, I don’t know if this counts for anything, but before you got here I did take a dump in this bathroom. Seriously? See, what I was doing is, when I was sitting here, see, I was in contact with this the whole time. Did you lift the lid before you took a dump? No, I did it just like this. All right. Out of the bathroom, into another hallway, that I’m walking down backwards. So, you got a second room here. So, we’re calling this the middle room, because there’s that room there, and then there’s another room there. But there is a pass-through to this bathroom. This is what they call a Jack and Jill bathroom. Because Jack comes in from this side, and Jill comes in from this. Hey, Jenna. Oh, there’s Jenna. Hi . Making yourself at home? Yeah. Is this your attempt to claim this as your office? Oh, I’ll take an office. What, did you just offer Jenna an office? I didn’t mean it, I wanna take that back. Oh, you’re gonna, yeah, you gotta retract that statement? Er, what I shoulda said was, erm, what’s up? So then Jill would come in on this side, right? If this was my office, I’d be coming in here. First of all, I think the Jack and Jill thing is sexist. Sorry. All right, but what about this bathroom? Now, this one has a tub, too, if you wanna come to work and, like, soak. Yeah, take lots of baths. In all our years of working together, we have always shared an office. I mean, but there’s three rooms. We need, we even need space from each other. Right, yeah. Sorta the big deal about this place is the fact that we are gonna have separate offices, and one person’s gonna be in this room, and the other person’s gonna be down the hall at the other end of the house, the other equally sized room. The question is, who’s gonna be in what office? Do you feel a strong preference? I do feel a slight preference. I think this room is a little more desirable, because there’s light that comes in from the bathroom. What are you, a plant? What is with you and having to have access to light all the time? Light equals creativity. Let’s devise a competition in order to let fate decide who gets which office. Yoo hoo! I got what my kids call pickleball. First person to seven gets to choose which office they have. You almost knocked over the camera with your very first shot. So, one point, me. Yeah, point back! It hit the mantlepiece. Two points me. Don’t let an injured man beat you. Okay, what was that? All right, that’s one point to you. Hey, guess I’m good at games. I’m doing movement, man! Foul. Three. Oh, get up, get up, Foul. Oh ho! Slammin’. Come on, man. Your shoulder’s hurtin’ now? I’ve got all kinds of problems, man. Five three. Not any more Ah, no, that hit the ceiling. You hit the ceiling. Okay, all right, six four. We just want to take a second and… You ready? You can’t even get down. I can’t get all the way down. I won’t be able to get back up. We just want to take a second in the middle of this heated match to just share a word with you about dad stretching. I made the mistake of not stretching before beginning this match, and now my lower back is kinda like seizing up on me. Oh! My hamstrings are wicked sore. Can you push on my back? That’s not a good stretch, man. Match point. Oh! That didn’t hit, that didn’t hit– Okay, okay, it did not bounce. I wasn’t ready! Whoo! Whoo! I won something! I’d like to thank my mom, who texted me recently and said, “It doesn’t matter how many times you lose, “I’m only keeping track of when you win. “And it’s pretty easy.” That’s what she said. Okay, Link, you won that one. I wouldn’t say fair and square, unless you consider it fair to engage in an athletic competition with an injured man. Listen, if you wanna take this victory and you wanna pick your office, I’m okay with it. But I personally feel like we should have a more organic approach. Like, let’s just see how we connect with the rooms. This is my shruti box. This is an instrument that is made for drone singing. What? Oh, it’s like an accordion. But it just plays a constant drone note. And you can switch another one off. It’s like horror music. I guess. Stop it. Stop it! Stop. It takes a while to stop. Maybe you’re thinking, “Hey, Link won something fair and square. “It was even a physical-slash-athletic activity. “Why is he letting Rhett change the rules on him? “Is he pulling the wool over his eyes.” Well, one, I was pretty interested in the shruti box. Two, I don’t have a strong preference on which room I want to be my office. Three, I do wanna know if the shruti box agrees with my slight preference. That’s not what I’m suggesting. But let’s just go into one of the rooms, and I’ll explain what I think the shruti box can help us with. Your zipper’s undone. Are you serious? Has my freakin’ zipper been undone this whole video? My freakin’ zipper’s– When was the last time you used the bathroom? Last time I used the bathroom was when I was at home. So, yeah, This whole video? I think your fly’s been open this whole video. And I’m sweating, too. My glasses are fogging up now. Good. Now, I wanna be clear about this. The shruti box sorta has this, like, trance-like quality to it. and so I think what we can do, just ask the room, Ask the room. “Is this my room?” ♪ Hello room ♪ ♪ Are you my room ♪ ♪ Hello room ♪ ♪ Are you my room ♪ ♪ Are you my room ♪ ♪ Ooooooooo ♪ ♪ Are you my room ♪ ♪ Ooooooooooooo ♪ Now my turn. ♪ Room Number One ♪ ♪ Room Number One ♪ ♪ Room Number One. ♪ ♪ Will you accept me as the person who lives inside you ♪ I’m feeling something.

Link, no, I have– The rooms, rooms don’t talk. No, no, no, no, the rooms talk to me. Both of them talked to me. Room Number Three did not accept me. You like the other room. This one’s closer to the front of the house, and I have this, like, protective instinct to protect myself You’re doing to me what you did, we talked about it on the podcast. And the same thing was– He talked about, Always stay– We were talking about which sides of the bed we sleep on with our wives, and Rhett ended up concluding that, I always sleep on the side of the bed that is furthest from the door. So, Rhett is constantly putting Jessie more in harm’s way. I didn’t think it just– That’s what we determined on Ear Biscuits. No, no, And it’s it just gives me– playing out here, too. You pushed me to the front lines! Yeah, yeah. And you know what? I’m glad, because I slightly prefer this room. Everybody’s happy. Now that we have come to peace with these rooms, and we know which rooms we’re gonna be in, I kinda feel like we need to have our, like, first meal. ♪ Let’s go eat lunch ♪ ♪ Let’s go get lunch ♪ ♪ And bring it back here ♪ ♪ Let’s go eat lunch ♪ ♪ And bring it back here ♪ Okay, we have made the decision to go to Wiener Schnitzel. Because it will also be our inaugural meal at a Wiener Schnitzel. We should get the person to tell us– What we should eat as our first meal. Right. Hello, good afternoon. Hi, we’re moving into a new house. We wanna have our first meal in the house. We want it to be special. What’s the best inaugural meal to have in a house that you’ve never eaten in, from Wiener Schnitzel? [Voice On Intercom] We have the We have the five-dollar, six-dollar and the seven-dollar three people only. All right, we’ll take that. And what about for drink or dessert? [Voice On Intercom] Oh, man, we got the strawberry shake, vanilla shakes, we’ve got a shake. Just give us three– Just three random drinks. random drinks, Yeah, surprise us. You know, this reminds me, back when we did the fast food drive-thru’ song at Taco Bell. Man, that’s kinda what these vlogs are, it’s kinda like getting back to just us making videos, man. And screwing ’em up if we have to. It’s only nine 33 for all of this food? It’s 39. Oh, 39. ’bout to say. Thank you, man. Thank you, have a nice life. Enjoy. All right. He knows we’ll be back. It’s the christening meal. Corn dog. Corn dog. Corn dog. Corn dogs unite. That was a solid corn dog. I got I’ve taken two bites. Me too. Moving onto the chili dog. I’m excited about this. Having our own place has been something, since we really stared working together on YouTube, that has been very important. Our office is obviously a creative space. I don’t wanna paint the wrong impression here. But it just is very difficult to get into the kind of rhythm that we need to, sort of, accomplish the next few goals that we have. I envision this being a place where there’s a lotta writing happening, there’s a lotta coming up with ideas. In all the years that we’ve worked on other projects that a little bit more creative focus, we’ve left the office to work on those things. Mm hm. Thanks for comin’ along on this ride with us. Where’s it gonna go? I don’t know, but there will be furniture at this room during the ride. That’s a good shake. Boy, that’s a good shake. Whoo! That’s a celebration shake! We can keep all these ketchups in a drawer No!
