STEVEN: Yikes, starting off the day
with a little trouble in paradise.
Ugh, that's a terrible saying,
because who would understand paradise
if there was no trouble?
For instance, L.A.'s traffic never ceases to be
the worst part of anyone's day.
STEVEN: Oh my God!
STEVEN: But then you have moments like these.
I remember when I first moved to L.A.
I'm sure this is the same experience
a lot of people have had that move here.
In a way it feels like you are in the epicenter of society.
I mean you look out at the Hollywood Hills,
you get the sense that you're in a place
where you can make your life better.
(♪♪♪)
STEVEN: I don't get that same feeling anymore,
looking out at those hills.
But that's a good thing I think,
because the motivation you get
from looking at those hills is dangerous.
It's not where real inspiration comes from.
Another place inspiration definitely doesn't come from
is following Cib around,
trying to find a new home with his crippled friend, Jay.
STEVEN: I legitimately don't know how Cib has survived this long.
STEVEN: So I followed them to the real location,
I was interested to see
what kind of apartment they'd be renting.
STEVEN: Just wear a headband?
What advice is that?
What is-- sorry, sorry.
STEVEN: That's right, we caught him live on camera,
in California, smoking weed.
STEVEN: On the outside it was a bit of a bummer.
On the inside however, it was also a bit of a bummer.
STEVEN: The apartment even had a walk-in closet.
STEVEN: Cib was slowly realizing
the amount of work he'd have to put in
to live with someone disabled.
Being Cib's legal guardian is tough,
and it's always very difficult
updating him on the Visa situation,
because the more information we get about the process,
the more we realize how impossible it seems.
Luckily Cib doesn't understand stress,
so he's totally fine.
Me on the other hand, I am very worried.
(coughing)
STEVEN: Just when I thought I'd had enough of Cib,
I had to meet up with him later on to go to Cow Chop again.
STEVEN: I keep trying to figure out why
we as a group are so unorganized.
It seems like even the smallest tasks are impossible.
STEVEN: Take this for example,
I realized that James was too far away to hear me,
and he wasn't answering his phone.
So the only option is really to get out of my car and go to his,
wasting another at least 20-30 seconds.
STEVEN: And right here is another example of why it takes so long
to make one of these videos.
STEVEN: 10 minutes later,
Cib finally stopped the car and got out.
STEVEN: After I got James the address,
it was finally the time to drive to Cow Chop.
After dropping a bunch of peas on camera at their studios...
We were contacted by peas to endorse their product.
STEVEN: I didn't have the heart to tell him that
that was single-handedly
the most brilliant set of lyrics I've ever heard in my life.
I was a little worried Cow Chop
wasn't going to take part in the sponsorship,
especially considering I had no plans
of sharing revenue with them.
STEVEN: A glimmer caught my eye, and I realized it was the sun
bouncing off of Brett's forehead.
And to my surprise, he closed the door on us.
STEVEN: There are very few scenarios where it's unfortunate
that shoes match the jacket.
STEVEN: Thankfully they started taking us seriously,
bringing out their more popular members of Cow Chop.
STEVEN: I was fine playing their little boy games
if it meant I could get my sponsored money.
Plus flour's pretty harmless.
It was kinda sweet though.
At it turns out, it wasn't flour at all.
STEVEN: I'll be honest, I was surprised to learn about the breast milk.
I was also surprised that James calls them "China Women".
But I was even more surprised
at how easily influenced Trevor was.
Thankfully we were able to get all of this on camera,
and everybody's faces were so well lit
because of Brett's natural sun reflector.
STEVEN: We could take legal action, but we choose not to.
Cib had to take refuge with some of Cow Chop's neighbours,
who were honestly a little bit sketchy.
STEVEN: So I looked online to see how
the new batch of posters were selling.
The answer: not great.
With Parker being in charge of marketing,
I stopped by his house for a couple words of encouragement.
STEVEN: And then I found out it wasn't Parker that I was speaking to.
STEVEN: James has the weirdest ability
to be in anyone's home at any time.
STEVEN: Even though Parker wasn't there for me to directly talk to,
I figured someone he lives with is still in the loop
and it's good enough to talk to him.
STEVEN: I've never killed anybody before,
so with this being my first time,
obviously I was a little shaken up.
STEVEN: I think that was the most relief I've ever felt in my life.
STEVEN: He really wasn't responding to anything we said or did.
He was in a vegetative state.
For how long he'd be like this, we had no idea.
STEVEN: So we left him on the porch,
I was starting to feel a little feverish,
and I figured Parker would clean up the mess
when he returned seven days later.
(coughing)
