- Sucking,
sea life
and death,
- What do they all have in common?
- [Both] Straws.
- It's Ladylike and this week we're gonna stop sucking.
(hip hop music)
This week we're banning single use plastic straws.
(dramatic music)
- Oh that looks like it hurt.
- And that's blood?
- Yeah, it's his little turtle blood.
I could not watch the straw being pulled out
of that turtle's nose.
I've seen that video on Twitter,
it's so real and cringey.
- [Freddie] Yeah it freaks me the hell out.
(upbeat music)
- Oh my gosh.
Look at this little pouch.
- This is adorable.
- This is a hefty straw.
(gasps)
It says Ladylike.
- My straw says Freddie's got damb straw
which is amazing.
- Wow.
Okay.
- Feels very thick in my mouth.
- Oh.
I am a little worried because I lose things
in my brain space I only have room
for remembering my keys, my wallet
and the rest of my purse, so I'm just gonna have to throw
this baby in my purse and like always remember it.
Okay, so we're going to Vegas this weekend
for a shoot, we're working all weekend.
- With the rest of Ladylike.
We have to remember to tell any servers at bars
or restaurants, no straws.
- No ma'am, not today, Satan.
But, if we accidentally use or receive any straws
we have to keep them with us for a week.
- At the end of the week whoever has the least amount
of plastic straws wins.
- May the most eco-friendly Ladylike person
win.
- Win.
(dramatic music)
So I put my ice coffee in this glass bottle
with my glass reusable straw.
- [Devin] Oh wow.
- [Freddie] Aint it cute?
- You're doing it.
- [Freddie] How you doing with your,
yup asking, no straw.
- No straw.
- [Freddie] I see your reusable mug.
- Mmhmm.
- Oh metal straw just saying.
- [Freddie] Wait a minute.
- Plastic cup.
- [Freddie] Wait a minute.
- [Brunette] Sorry.
- So I'm a little bit nervous,
we have a lot of parties coming up,
that's a lot of drinking, a lot of cocktails, straws.
I was confident but now I'm like,
this is gonna be hard.
(dramatic music)
In the airport I used on plastic straw.
So I couldn't find this earlier on the airplane
and so I ended up using a plastic straw,
so I do have one straw that I have collected
and it's only day two.
But now I'm using this for my cocktail.
(smooth music)
We went to a Magic Mike show.
- [Devin] I think we did pretty well.
- We were straw free.
- Strawless and bra-less.
- [Freddie] Oh.
- I thought about that.
(cheers and applauds)
- We had champagne and then cocktail lounge.
- At this bar in Vegas,
the straw is actually built into the glass
that's ingenious, that's some good glass blowing.
What do you think Shontel.
- I love it.
I love it.
(laughs)
(upbeat music)
- We went to a very nice restaurant for Chris's birthday
and that evening also there were zero straws involved.
- But we went to the pool,
- That's were they get ya.
(playful music)
'cause you can't have glass by the pool.
- [Freddie] Yep.
- [Devin] Definitely got a plastic straw out of that.
- I used another plastic straw.
- [Devin] So we were one for two.
(sad music)
(upbeat music)
- Day after Vegas I had a really hard time
keeping up with my straws while in Vegas.
I did forget to bring my glass straw
at certain points but what I did do
was just made sure that I just drank
from the glass when I needed to.
- After Vegas we came back home with my pretty little
Cinderella straw, I call it a Cinderella straw
because it's made out of glass.
This is as close as I'm gonna get
to being a Disney princess.
- Should I like lose mine at midnight?
- See if a man comes?
- See if a man picks it up, my name is on it.
- Yeah.
So when I cook at home I kind of drink
out of a mason jars
but I have a sneaking suspicion that it's gonna creep up
on me and I'm just gonna receive a straw
at like Starbucks or something.
- So I did just leave dinner,
I of course forgot my glass straw at home
but I made sure to not get a straw when we ate.
I ordered a beer it came poured into a glass
no straw so I'm really trying to definitely
make a way around when I forget my glass straw at home
and to make sure I'm still being safe to the environment.
- I just ordered myself an iced coffee.
This young gentlemen handed me a straw,
I almost tore it open fully
but then I remembered,
sir I don't need this straw, thank you.
I have my own.
Yay!
♪ Taking the straw pledge, one straw at a time ♪
mmm.
Drinking at home I don't use any straws, did you?
- Okay,
- What's this from?
- Oh,
(laughs)
So after Vegas we had two days, like you said at home,
and it legit that was our weekend
because we were working through the weekend
so what do I order when I'm feeling
like I really deserve a treat,
Boba!
So I just ordered Boba on Postmates
and I forgot to put in the instructions, no straw.
Just slips my mind so much until after the fact.
- [Delivery Man] Hi.
Yeah, yeah yeah.
- He handed me the bag and I looked at it
and I was like, oh (beeps) wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,
I need the straw, I need the straw.
Actually wait sorry, I'm gonna keep the straw.
Sorry.
I tried y'all.
- What do you need with Boba?
- This fat straw for Boba tea.
(dramatic music)
- So after our two days at home Fred and I had to go
to Anaheim which was this big convention called Vidcon.
This is what ruined us, it's a lot of panels
and meet and greets.
- And parties.
- You know you go to a bar and get
those little tiny cocktail straws,
you get like four or five drinks
then that's like at least four to 10 straws.
- That's true.
- So that's just one night.
- Well this is the thing though,
I feel like you drink a lot of like Rose and wine
and stuff which doesn't require a straw.
- True.
- And I love a good beer.
- [Devin] Okay so we're just gonna stick to beer and wine.
- [Freddie] We'll stick to beer and wine
and this'll be healthier for our bodies anyway.
- [Devin] Yeah.
- So my first Vidcon gig was at the Fool's Green Lounge
and I had a white Russian with no shame
with my drink and straw in hand, I was like,
oh hello, straw challenge what?
So I'm at four at this point.
- My first Vidcon YouTube Party I had three cocktail straws
so that brings my number up to five.
(twangs)
- So you're actually ahead of me now?
- No, oh my god, how did that happen.
- I think I had two drinks at the Raz-nad party
both of them had straws.
(buzzes)
I'm at six.
- I switched to white wine at that party
so five and six.
- That night, I think I would have been saved
had I just gone home,
gone home,
so I went to the hotel bar
and I had two there.
So that brings my number up to eight
(buzzes)
straws.
We kind of suck.
- Yeah.
- Gone home.
- I didn't take any pictures but I know
I had three bourbon smashes, it's eight.
(buzzes)
It's alcohol that's killing our sea life.
- Poison to us and poison to the sea life.
- You're right. - Wow.
(soft music)
I went to Palm Springs after I left Vidcon,
I had a watermelon margarita
with a straw so that moves me up to nine.
- I just went to Starbucks with Jared
and was having a conversation about boys
and I forgot to ask to not have a straw.
And I already took a sip.
I predicted this.
Receive a straw at like Starbucks or something.
So that brings me up to nine.
Wow we're tied.
- We actually suck.
- I've been humbled by straws.
I need to be more aware that when I'm drinking in general,
even if it's a glass of water or a cocktail,
I need to say no straw please.
That's something that need to become a part of my vernacular
otherwise I will forget and be like, oh it's not my fault
when really the ODIs is on me to make a difference
and make a change.
It was very nice when MGM made a conscious effort
to not give us straws.
It helped us in this challenge even though they had no idea
we were doing this challenge.
- Mm-hmm.
- It's really nice that corporations and cities,
states, do this thinking so the consumer doesn't have to.
Simply Straws did not sponsor us,
this is just something super important
that we wanted to try for ourselves.
So even though we tried the straw challenge
and we still kind of sucked,
changing habits takes a long time.
We're gonna sign the pledge and efforts to do better
after this, we hope that you do to.
- The first 2000 people to sign the pledge
will get a free glass straw from Simply Straws.
- If 2000 people commit to this challenge,
we're saving the ocean from 60 million straws
and that's a big deal.
- I want to gift you with this glass straw
and pass on the challenge.
- Oh great.
- So you can save the environment.
- Thank you.
I'll use it for my PBR.
- Yes, (laughs)
Not sucking for a week, Lady tested,
- [Both] Lady sucked a little less.
- But we're working really hard to not suck as much.
- Or at all.
- Hey, Unsolved is on a new channel
and now your part,
- [Both] subscribe here.
- That was my part.
