- I love how everyone's facts about themselves
were about their Ivy League education
and their professional career.
And mine's dildos.
- Dildos. - And the time that I [beep].
- Hey, I'm Ned.
- I'm Eugene.
- Hey, I'm Zach
- and I'm Keith. We are The Try Guys.
And today we're here with Glamour to fact check
some fans on the internet.
- Because, you know, you can write anything on Wikipedia.
So we are here to get the record straight.
- Yeah, Ned could be single and I could be straight.
- Let's do this.
- Let's start with Reddit.
- Oh [beep], we're starting with Reddit?
- Oh boy.
- Oh [beep]
- I left the door open, right?
The DUI series cost them $40,000?
I can't imagine the money and time and resources
that go into such series. Correct.
It was a four part series all about
driving under the influence where we made
a closed course of over a thousand cones.
We actually got drunk, high, sleep deprived
and we're texting while driving on this closed course.
It was very expensive to produce,
both renting the location,
hiring a 15, 20 person crew, rented a drone, I mean.
- I would actually say for a video of that scope and scale,
$40,000, remarkably cheap.
- That's 10k a video. That's not bad.
However, for every video that costs 10,000,
we're also making videos that cost $300.
- Also, the safety parameters of filming something legally,
that is technically illegal.
- We had to get a police escort.
- Here's a little fun fact.
It is illegal to drive under the influence
even on private property.
Even if you're on a tractor on your farm.
- I think they technically could still arrest us.
Statute of limitations?
- Where's the proof?
[laughs]
- Dumb-But-Hopeful writes
my respect for Ned grew tenfold when they talked about
the infrastructure for the new company.
All that paperwork and being responsible
for all the employees seems to fall on his shoulders.
Correct.
- Especially at the beginning, but not entirely
true now because we, we hired employees to take off
some of these burdens and make sure everyone
has an equal amount of responsibilities rather than
Ned having to do all of it.
But he certainly does oversee the person who oversees
all of those things.
- I think out of the four of us, I tend to take on
business tasks, the HR adjacent tasks.
- Not that he's necessarily doing it out of just
the goodness of his heart, it's because
the other three of us would tank the company immediately.
- Perhaps. Yeah.
- But he likes it and he knows how to do it.
He loves Excel.
Eugene made a surprise appearance in Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
That's true.
He is. He's in one episode
and apparently he had a really fun time.
None of us were jealous.
[laughs]
- I was in Brooklyn Nine-Nine for just one scene.
I'm this like hottie front door person to a club.
- Yeah and you were also hot.
- Oh, thank you.
- And then, I mean like, yeah, you were mean.
- Yeah, I was mean. I was trying to reject
Andy Sandberg and Chelsea Peretti from going into this club
but they pull out their phone
and pretend they had to talk to daddy.
And so I let them in.
- Although it is factually incorrect
cause it wasn't a surprise. Everybody knew about it.
- Illinoisstate.edu.
- Oh my gosh.
They have, I guess they would have things about me about me.
- About me?
- Yeah. About you.
- Wow. I didn't know. That's crazy.
Coming to Illinois State on a French horn scholarship,
Habersberger was involved heavily in performance on campus.
- It's true. I did get a French horn scholarship
to be a music major.
However, in the preview,
which is when you go to the college for like a weekend
just like to get your bearings and learn about it
then you go back home then you actually move into college.
There were like all these cool activities.
And I got to do like improv as one of them.
And I had always been thinking like, you know,
I love doing music, but I like performing
without a French horn too.
So I switched my majors.
And in doing that, I lost my French horn scholarship.
- I've never met someone who's played French horn
who talks so much about playing French horn.
Our entire tour with this huge rock performance at the end.
What was Keith's idea?
He's got a pop up.
- He wanted to do a French horn.
- Not for an electric guitar solo, a French horn solo.
I mean, that's some real nerd [beep].
- Now we're moving on to famous birthdays.
- Zach started making short movies as early
as age 10 using Legos and stuffed animals.
Correct.
I got this thing, the Lego Steven Spielberg
movie maker kit. Absolutely changed my life.
All my early movies were made in my bedroom
and everything I know about filmmaking, I know from Legos.
- I had that same journey, but starting at age 22
and I also used Legos and stuffed animals.
- That's actually something that Zach and I bonded over
because also some of my first movies are Lego
like stop action, just things of like
you're moving your little figurines around.
- Most of my early movies are teddy bear ripoffs
of popular movies.
- Take three.
Hi, I'm Zach Kornfeld,
producer, co-director, and co-writer of all teddy movies.
- So I have the Bear Witch Project, Jurassic Bark,
Paul Wars, of course.
- I cringe at my early work.
- Ned went to chess camp and built model rockets growing up.
- Sounds right.
[laughs]
- Sounds right.
- Yeah, that is true actually.
I did a week long summer day camp
that was called chess camp.
Just went there and played chess everyday.
Learned the rules.
- This is where Zach and Keith would say nerd.
- Yeah, that one's, that one I accept.
- Hey, chess is getting super cool.
- Chess is? Yeah, I mean.
- Queens gambit? Model rockets? SpaceX?
- October Sky, SpaceX, yeah.
Basically, if you could put Steve's rocket engine in it,
I tried it.
- Zach worked as an intern at the Weinstein Company
and was a production assistant on Step Up 3D.
- Those are both true.
I had many run-ins with Harvey Weinstein.
Took that off my resume.
He is a garbage monster human. Can confirm.
- But Step Up 3D.
- My name is in the credits in 3D, which is hilarious.
- That's the best kind of credit.
Yeah. That's cool.
- But yeah, I was working in the production office.
I got to go to set a little bit.
It was just my first exposure
to working on a real movie set.
It was very fun.
I think I was also
- In the movie because you're such a good dancer.
- Yes. Yeah, yeah.
I was mainly a choreographer. Uncredited, but yeah.
- Moving on to Try Guys fandom.
Eugene has three dogs named Emma, Pesto, and Kimbop.
- Correct.
- Kim Bob was the most recent addition.
They went to a rescue place
and brought him back because he seemed the calmest.
Kimbop's a nut.
- I have three dogs.
My rule is the larger spaces I move into,
that equates to another dog.
- Yeah. This was like a condition you gave to your partner
- If I got a house for the first time,
cause I always lived in this cruddy little apartment
that I thought equaled at least two more dogs
or a large dog, but he really
does not want to pick up big poop.
- Ned used to be a chemist and Yale graduate
and is often teased mainly by Zach because of this.
That's right.
I was a chemist and a Yale graduate.
I both got a degree in chemistry
and I worked as an R and D chemist in Chicago.
Am I often teased at mainly by Zach because of it?
I don't think so.
You think so?
- Mainly by Zach.
- But definitely mainly by Zach.
- If there's anyone doing teasing
- We all tease him pretty equally.
And also you have to remember anytime you tease somebody
for going to an Ivy League school, it is out of jealousy.
- It's a dunk on ourselves.
- Yeah.
- Porcelain bow ties comments
I think Ned's claustrophobic.
I believe he said it in a video.
But I don't think Eugene is.
He just doesn't like being touched.
- Are you claustrophobic?
- I don't think so. No.
- Ooh, our first wrong answer.
- Fact check.
I'm not claustrophobic.
I'll put it out there.
I am afraid of heights
but a lot of people are.
- Hmm. And so is Keith. Keith is really afraid of heights.
The second part of this statement is true.
I do not like being touched, but that's universal now.
- I don't think he loves affection.
- Not his favorite.
- But I don't think he hates it as much as he plays
or at least that's what we've decided
because we like to give him affection.
- Corrected
- Maggie once found a giant, black, latex dildo
in Zach's pillow. Zach?
- True. That is a hundred percent true.
I worked on a Lonely Island music video that had
a ton of dicks and so I brought home a bunch of dildos.
This one specifically had a suction cup on the back.
So my roommates and I lived with two dudes.
We would just hide the dildos in each other's rooms,
surprise dildo. You could stick it to showers,
put it in like their medicine cabinet.
So Maggie, early in our relationship, is sleeping over
and we get the waft of latex in our room.
She goes to adjust the pillow and she goes
Zach, what's this?
I feel it. I grab the dildo and scream no!
- I only wish that when you threw the dildo
that it had landed on something and it stuck, you know?
- I don't know if he did it as a prank on her
or if he just happened to forget that it was there.
Knowing Zach, he forgot.
- Yeah, I think he just forgot.
- Yeah
- We did get rid of the dildos. Mixed feelings about that.
- They kept one.
- On their first date, they went to spend
some more time together and went for ice cream
despite the fact that both Maggie and Zach
are lactose intolerant.
That is true.
Yeah. We had a nice first date and she suggested ice cream
and I'm like, well, I'm not going to ruin this.
Meanwhile, I didn't know that it was also terrible for her.
So we both ate ice cream, had a great time.
And then I [beep] my brains out.
- Next up, we got some Wikipedia.
Fulmer previously had a fear of dogs
stemming from a Doberman attack as a young child
but was able to overcome his phobia
with the adoption of his dog.
Correct!
- My mom tells a story that a Doberman
jumped in my stroller as a kid, but really,
I've just kind of been always uncomfortable around dogs.
- So it wasn't an attack.
- Yeah, no it wasn't an attack.
- It was just a surprising lunge.
- I don't know if he's a hundo percent over it
but he's definitely.
- No, we were taking pictures in front
of somebody else's house the other day
and that person didn't like that
and they came out with their big dog
and it freaked Ned the [beep] out.
So I will say he's not over it.
- It was really, it was a scary bark but he was affected.
- As a child, Zach appeared in an episode
of Saturday Night Live hosted by Elijah Wood.
That's true.
- Zach loves to tell this story.
Zach's a big New York boy.
He's from somewhere called Scarsdale, Westchester.
- The big lights.
- The fancy Jewish neighborhood.
- City living.
- I guess I had like a fledgling child acting career
that never really went anywhere, but I was
on SNL twice actually, but only one of them aired.
First time was with Paris Hilton
and Reverend Al Sharpton hosting.
And then the next week they brought me back.
I got to be on with Elijah wood, Maya Rudolph,
Horatio Sanz, Rachel Dratch.
It was the Wake Up Wakefield sketch.
It was just so cool.
It's also the same week,
like literally days apart,
that I almost lost a testicle.
- Equally hilarious stories.
- Maya Rudolph was there for both.
[laughs]
- Early on, Eugene lost his Texas accent
by the prodding of his sister who told him
he might face difficulties getting into Ivy League schools.
That is a hundred percent correct.
And I do not know why that's in Wikipedia.
- Wow.
- We grew up in a small Texas town
and she would hit me on the back of the head
every time I would say things like naked or [indistinct].
And she would beat me up because she said I couldn't get
into an Ivy League school if I sounded
like a back country pig.
And then, she got into an Ivy League school.
- Wow.
- So she was right.
- And now it's time for YouTube.
Ah, the good old YouTube.
- Now this is very exciting.
YouTube comments, exclusively sweet and wonderful.
- I'm honestly very impressed
they found anything positive on Reddit.
- Today, we are getting officially sorted
into our Harry Potter houses.
- Linzie Stranger comments my guesses for the ending:
Eugene, Ravenclaw. Ned, Gryffindor.
Keith, Hufflepuff. Zach, Slytherin.
How off? That is so off.
So the actual results ended up being
I was Slytherin, Keith was Raven claw,
and then you and Zach were both Hufflepuff.
- Badger pride.
- We have discovered that as we have aged, we have changed.
When I took the test as a wee lad,
I would get either Slytherin or Gryffindor depending.
- Which is very common and true. Very close.
- Every test that I've ever taken was me as a Gryffindor.
And then we take this real Harry Potter houses quiz
and all of a sudden I'm a Hufflepuff
and it's a big scandal. And you know what?
I at first wanted to fight it. I was resistant.
And then I realized that maybe 22 year old Ned
when he was [beep] boy, Yale University was a Gryffindor
but family man Ned with a baby, father of two,
takes the things a little slower.
Maybe I am a Hufflepuff, but I do need to get all new merch.
- Yeah. You've only bought Gryffindor [beep].
- Corrected.
- Next up we got BuzzFeed fandom.
Let's rewind the clock to our former employer, BuzzFeed.
Keith and Becky have a going to Outback Steakhouse
for Valentine's day tradition.
Hell yeah, that's true.
And I like to think that we popularize
other people going to Outback on Valentine's day
because the first time we went, honestly,
nobody was there and we thought this is a great choice.
- It was kind of like intentional counter programs.
- Yeah, we were like, oh, no one will be there
because it's not actually romantic at all.
So we went and then we bragged about it
to all our friends and then next year that I went,
it was slammed and I was mad.
And then the next year I went,
they wouldn't take reservations
because they knew how slammed they'd get.
We made a thing where we'd like bring all of our friends.
We had like a party of eight. - I've gone.
- We'd get a little loaded on the giant beers.
And then we'd go watch one of the porny movies
that came out like the 50 Shades.
And I typically fell asleep
because I had drank a lot of beer, but it is,
I kid you not, one of the best prime ribs you can buy
no matter where you live.
It's good. It's really good.
Where else do you get to order a whole onion
and eat it like a king?
A few other steakhouses
but that's the one that really popularized it.
- Keith's favorite video game is Dance Dance Revolution.
- Incorrect.
- I think his current favorite video game
is the Mario Kart where you can make a little toy car
go around your apartment.
- I think this was his favorite video game as a child.
It's definitely his favorite arcade game.
- It was.
- There's a truth in here.
- And a deep truth.
- A deep truth.
- I competed in a DDR competition in high school.
Corrected.
- All right. That's it.
Thanks for fact checking the internet with us.
We'll see you later.
Bye bye.
- I'm a little disappointed that there aren't
more falsehoods about us.
I think we need to spread some more insidious rumors
about The Try Guys.
What is that?
Keith had an affair with Megan Markle
and has seven children?
- Shh!
[happy music]
