Hey, what's up everybody,
Rob here, you're watching Man vs. Pin,
and this is me in the middle of a f*cking river, trying to get this week's materials.
All for you sons-of-b*tches.
Painted rocks, apparently this is a big thing that people are doing.
They are painting rocks and then hiding them in various locations for people to find
Words of encouragement, and inspiration on the rocks, little drawings of bullsh*t.
Anyways, I guess the best rocks to paint them on are river rocks because they're smooth.
I haven't been able to find river rocks anywhere.
I went to the craft stores, I went everywhere.
Couldn't find sh*t.
Decorative stones...pea gravel... river pebbles.
Drainage rock, that's not what I need.
All these f*cking rocks and no goddamn river rocks?
Son of a b*tch.
Alright, in the craft store now.
Maybe they sell rocks, I don't know.
But, I know that they sell the paint pens I need.
These already have things written on 'em.
I need blank ones of these.
Well, apparently the whole world has just run out of river rocks.
This is such a huge phenomenon.
There they are.
That's where they're supposed to be.
Right here.
They're sold out.
Alright, outside the craft store here and I just came across a plethora of rocks.
I'm just gonna take this one right here
This one looks good
Yeah, pocket that one too while we're at it
Just walk away. Nobody saw anything
Sweet
Alright right, I'm here now in my second craft store
Seeing if this place has any river rocks.
There it is
Hehe!
"Large Flat River Rocks".
All sold out
Unbelievable
This place is sold out of river rocks too
Which is why we're here at the French Broad River, trying to get some f*cking rocks.
So I gotta go in
Alright.
Eugh.
Oh, God, oh.
Ah, ahh!
Alright, let's see.
What do we got here
Oh!
Ah, it's too big.
Aw, all these f*cking rocks suck!
What's up, ducks.
Don't mind me
Oh! Oh that was weird
What am I touching?
Okay
Here's one
That one looks all right
That one's not that bad. Oh here's a good one
Oh! Ooh, Something's biting me
Something's nibbling on my toes.
Alright, we scored some rocks here at the river.
Let's go home and paint them up.
Oh God.
There's something in the water next to me
Okay getting out.
Getting out!
Ah. Ah. AH.
AAAAAH
Alright walking home
I just found a treasure trove of river rocks
That's why there weren't that many in the goddamn river
These f*cking people took them all for their goddamn landscaping
I'm gonna grab a couple here, so I'll just... shh.
You see that, there's a security camera right there
And I gotta make this quick
Can you steal a rock?
Right? It belongs to the Earth.
Aw, this is bad.
All right, we got all the rocks. Stolen...and other
I took a couple of these outside and doused them with some spray paint
I'm going to let those dry
Now comes the fun part of decorating all of them
There's not really too much of a DIY or science behind this project
It's just pretty much being creative, and f*cking drawing on rocks!
Now if you've been around here for a while, then you probably can guess what I'm drawing over here.
Yep, that's taking shape uhhh... perfectly into a middle finger
Yeah, you know a lot of these rocks uhhh... that they put out
They're all inspirational and they've got a lot of happy quotes.
Well, guess what?
That's not what we're doing around here.
Somebody's gonna find this middle finger rock,
They're going to flip it over, and bam!

Now is leaving obscene painted rocks around town, is that illegal?
Is it smart to put my name on the back of this?
I don't know
The consequences remain to be seen
But speaking of GFY
I'm just gonna throw one of these on there for fun
Yeah, it doesn't matter whether or not you're a good artist or not
A lot of these rocks seem to use some pretty primitive decorating techniques, like repetitive dots sequences
So we're just gonna throw a few rounds of those on there
Oh yeah, check that out
That is some decorative sh*t
When they find this one on the street and they flip It over and boom.
#GoodForYou
It's almost like a slight moment of positivity that you get when you read it
But in reality, I just told that person to go f*ck themselves
Now this next one, I couldn't pass up making
I mean it's f*cking brilliant
I'm drawing myself an eyeball
and then adding a little bit of a tired looking eyelid,
Uhhh... With some real real dry-eye symptoms
You know what I mean?
Are you ready for...
Captain f*cking clever strikes again
Flip that sh*t over
Boom
Stoned.
Because it's a stone
it's a f*cking stone
Stoned.
Goddammit, I'm f*cking...Hilarious
Whoever picks up this next rock, I'm going to be very curious of their reaction
Why would anyone wish this upon somebody?
I don't know
I don't know why I would write such a terrible thing on a f*cking rock.
There's f*cking something wrong with me!
Obviously
This one isn't any better
I thought it would be funny to maybe draw a mouth on one of these
And it took me a minute to figure out what I was going to write on this one, but it finally came to me.
Eat sh*t.
And the more I think of It... This is probably definitely illegal
Just leaving rocks with profanity on the streets
I don't know
Again, I don't know
This next one however, I know falls into that category
This is definitely definitely wrong
It's like... I mean, I'm just giving you the message
I'm not telling you what to throw it at
Really hard.
[Rob giggles]
Oh, f*ck.
Now I want to confuse some people. Uhhh... just a little bit with this one
Uhhh... I am a tree. "But wait!" somebody says as they pass by
That's a rock
In a state of confusion, they bend down, they pick up the rock, they flip it over and then it hits them.
[Deep voice] EVERYTHING YOU KNOW IS A LIE.
The rock says, and has a deeper voice.
And this one over here. This is just another one that randomly confuses people. I'm just blatantly telling them to not take the rock.
Stealing this rock is a crime punishable by law.
Put it the f*ck down.
Is it? I don't know but I put it the f*ck down immediately, and just walk away.
And I found a couple of googly eyes in a drawer. Uhhh...
And decided to just take the easy way out and stick them onto a rock
Because hey you know what, that's f*cking funny.
Boom! Angry rock. Somebody Walks by. They pick it up for some f*cking reason
And bam, they get a giant dose of reality
"Nobody likes you."
You just got f*cking told by a rock.
And you know what? Maybe this is the catalyst that they needed to become a better person.
This is probably the most inspirational rock of all of them.
Now I've got a bunch of paint pens here that i still haven't used, so I'm going to bust them out
on this rock. I wanted to get a little bit more colorful, but at the same time, just a little bit deeper
A little more philosophical, if you will.
I'm putting on a nice little colorful bright scene of joy and tranquility here.
With the mountainous and the skies. But upon a turn, they see a message
Starkly written against the white that reads "I once was a mountain." Is it possible? Is it true?
Once a mighty giant
Now a palm-sized rock. Are we all just mountains turning into stone? Goddamnit, this rock is going to
f*ck somebody's day up, I'll tell you that much. It's already f*cking my day up
This last one I'm making as a little bit more of a promotional purpose. You know
Get the name out there. Get the logo out into the world a little bit.
With as much f*cking work as I'm putting into this rock
I sure hope somebody finds it and checks out this goddamn channel. Which would be pretty weird if you actually
have this rock, right now, in your possession and you're watching this specimen's section. Is the rock here or is it in your hands, right?
This rock is f*cking me up too. Oh, and I just want to throw this one in just for educational purposes uhhh...
You know, this is a rock [Rob scoffs]
Duhhh. All right, I got all my rock here
A solid dozen. Some pretty f*cking sweet ones I might add. These are going to hopefully make
Some people's days. I mean, I would be pretty stoked if I found any of these, am I right?
Hopefully nobody steps out in front of a f*cking bus after reading one of these. But again, is it my fault? Is it illegal
Who knows? Alright, well I'm gonna let these dry overnight and then tomorrow, I'm gonna take them downtown
Distribute them amongst the public. All right so Corinne and I are now headed downtown. We got a bag full of rocks.
We're gonna leave these in some public parks. Down some side streets. Hopefully, some of you will find them
it's also the solar eclipse day uhhh... that we're doing this on so...
It's gonna get weird around here
Yeah, this is a good one. You're home now, rock. You're home amongst family. I'm gonna place this amongst the other rocks just so people know
Alright.there's one right there and there's one right there. How about the Threadbanger one? Right there
You won't be able to see it That's the whole point.
Um, I don't think that's a really good idea
There's like a car right next to it. I know, and there's a really big window right here.
This reminds me of you. "Hey I'm rock Rob."
GFY. Aright so we're standing in front of the Vance Monument here.
This is one of the Confederate monuments that you're hearing all about on the news
Does it look like a middle finger if I do that?
I'm gonna put my own little form of protest on here. Nobody likes the Vance Monument. So that's where that's going to go
If you find this guy, you better take a picture on Instagram.
Corinne's gonna ride the pig with a cop standing right over there. He's watching you.
But here she goes. Holy sh*t. Alright so I got another rock right here
With I'm gonna place in the middle of this festival.
You're kind of a terrible person. I think this is a solid place right here. Oh yeah
This is actually one of the places where I took the rocks from originally. It's like I'm returning it.
It's not a tree, you know what I mean? It's a rock.
How clever.
They get it, then they flip it over and then boom
[Deep voice] "EVERYTHING YOU KNOW IS A LIE."
Alright, this next one's going here. It's a burial brewery, where everybody over here is just
Throw this one
Here's the deal. With this one, somebody is going to wake up in the morning. They're going to get their coffee and their donut.
Right over here and then they're gonna stumble across this
That's mean. Spread in those positive vibes Right out here, in front of Vortex Doughnuts
Alright I'm throwing another one out here in front of Funkatorium. Give this place a little bit of color. It's a little drab out here
You know what I mean?
It's like a little f*cking Easter Egg Hunt right there. Boom, there you go. Oh wait you know, what the eclipse is about to f*cking happen
Hold on. There it is, the big moment of the f*cking eclipse and there's a bunch of f*cking clouds in the sky
Goddamnit, we can't see anything. I don't know what's happening. That's what the eclipse looks like on this camera, huh?
F*cking fantastic. All right, well that is it. All of the rocks have been hidden
If you're in the area, I invite you to go try and find them. Otherwise, if you have any more future
suggestions for projects, be sure to leave those down in the comments below. Like up this video, subscribe if you haven't already
I'll see you around here. Next time, we'll repaint some other bullsh*t. We'll paint whatever the f*ck you want.
