- Why, hello there!
You may have heard about texting and driving.
- Lololol.
Wow this is fun.
- Eugene said he saw three coyotes last night.
- But I'm here to show you what it's really like.
- Texting while driving, yeah I do this.
I do this every fuckin' day.
- It's such a part of our daily lives now
to just be on our mobile phones.
- [Keith] Zach have you changed out
the soap yet? - Hey, stop dude!
Get out of here, get out!
- I bet a lot of you are watching this
right now on your phone in your car.
- What if I hit a camera man?
What if I murder someone today?
Keith Habers murder.
This was worse than being drunk, it was worse than
being high, worse than being sleep deprived.
Turns out it was a goddamn nightmare.
- Someone's gonna die.
That's how they promoted all the Fox shows
in the early 2000's.
Someone's gonna die!
[Upbeat Music]
- It's our final video in this series and our final chance to
wreck Keith's car.
- [Keith] That's not the objective.
- My phone, I use it as if it's a feature of my car.
I'm a very responsible text and driver.
I only use the voice to text.
We're on our way back.
Easy.
- Texting while driving, in my opinion, is as dangerous as
drinking while driving or being impaired by any substance.
- I get so bored while driving.
I am on my phone non stop.
- Quick glance down, quick glance up.
It's not a big deal.
Using my phone while driving, is like, it's an addiction
and I do not see a world in which I can quit it.
- Distracted driving for us, it's everything.
It just takes a split second to be distracted where a
traffic collision can occur.
- See, my car beeps when I'm about to crash.
I don't just casually use my phone while I drive.
I'm like reading in depth articles.
- Even if you overt your attention from the wheel for
four to five seconds, this is extremely dangerous.
- Look at that.
- [Keith] It's like it's a tongue.
- [Zach] It's like it's built for it.
- [Keith] Two eyes and a nose.
Facebooking and driving, Twittering and driving.
Googling and driving.
- Let's refresh Instagram, see if anything's new.
- Eventually I like to catch up on the news
during my morning commute.
- I pop up the Instagram.
Oh look, Me and Shawn Mendes, havin' a great time.
- Oh look at this, I was invited to a party.
See, I would never know that if I didn't check my email.
- Well, well, well, it's the last video and finally Eugene
isn't a big ol' fuck up.
Everyone's like, oh Eugene, he's so crazy.
Eugene he has fun.
He's had fingers everywhere.
Yeah, I've lived life, okay?
But weirdly one thing I don't do is text while I drive.
I just don't really do it.
I've always just decided out of sight out of mind.
So I put my phone in my bag while I drive.
- [Ned] What happens if someone tries to call you?
- I don't answer.
- [Ned] What are you talking about?
- My car's really outdated so I can't
even connect to Bluetooth.
Look how old that is, you remember CDs right?
("Party in the USA" by Miley Cyrus)
I burned that CD in like 2010.
- [Ned] How do you know where to go?
- How do I know where to go?
You know, that is the
one thing-- - This is the wrong street.
- Oh, shit.
[Ned] Didn't you say you got
into a car accident today?
- No, a car accident go into me.
'cause it was a classic I stopped properly and she ran
right into me.
She was probably on her phone.
- Car crashes are the number one cause of accidental deaths
for our young people in this country.
We need to do everything we can to prevent them.
(dramatic music)
- We are here at the beautiful Irwindale Speedway.
We've got a closed course set up
and we are gonna get irresponsible, eh educational.
- I know there are going to be obstacles thrown at me
and I really don't want to fuck up my car.
- I feel like I'm gonna nail this one.
I can do this with one hand.
I was gonna do this with the other hand
but that's not the right motion.
- It's my car!
It's the only one I got!
- I know we're talking about how bad all these things are
but like, I haven't crashed yet.
So far, so good.
- This challenge is gonna be one of the easiest ones.
Why, because, I have a lot of experience.
- Why are the windows down when we're next to a Quarry!
I just got that thing fucking detailed.
There's gonna be dust all over my car!
$200 so I can detail my goddamn car!
They put it next to a dust factory.
Jesus!
Texting and driving is bad.
- We have set up 538 cones
in a complicated traffic course.
Since this is science, three days ago we did a control
where we each drove the course sober.
Today we have some rules.
One, you must respond to every single text message.
Two-- - Don't stop moving.
Don't stop texting.
Like a fuckin' influencer shark.
- While each Try Guy is driving the other three guys
will be in the grandstands watching
and giving instructions on what to do.
- I'm sober, I'm well rested.
- I got this.
- Let's do it!
- Do you have a charger in there cause I'm like riding low
battery mode all day everyday.
[Upbeat music]
- Hey guys about to start.
Exclamation point.
- Oh boy.
- I like to, I'm looking at the phone and there's
not even a text coming through.
I'm looking like,
we got any coming in?
- Here we go, here we go!
- Hey, hey, hey.
(bell dings)
(laughs loudly)
- I said, ha ha nice try bitch.
- He asked me if I'm up.
Yeah duh.
- Wanna fuck?
- What is your favorite food?
Fried chicken baby.
That talk-to-text always makes it super great.
It really enables your, oh, did I already hit a cone?
Nah, I think I was good.
- What are you wear,
nah I just did a typo.
I feel like my eyes are not on the road at all.
- Driving is very complex, so although we get
used to it it becomes a habit after time,
there's a lot going on in our brain when
we're trying to drive safely.
- Who lives on Drury lane?
Who lives on dryer lane?
What bread do you actually like the most?
Pumpernickel!
- Oh God, okay that was a curb.
- We got hey Keith Keith Keith coming in.
- There are already a number of distractions that
are gonna take our mind away from focusing at the wheel.
- Um, uh, elephant butt.
- We're thinking about these things constantly.
These things are already enough distractions.
- Oh God I'm getting a text from my Asian friends chains.
- Our mind is now very focused on something
that's not in front of us.
- I actually have friends who are all Asian guys who are
like the other Try Guys but not.
(laughing) They suck.
Oh shit.
- Okay, I'm at a stop sign I gotta chance.
I definitely, I'm a red light texter.
I get to that intersection, pull out that phone.
- You have red lights all the time.
- Look, here's another red light.
That was literally 10 seconds.
- Nothing to do, so I'm just texting my boys.
But look at this, somebody's sending me fried chicken!
- We do see motorist manipulating their cell phones at
red lights and that's also against the law.
- Oh oh no, oh my god, Becky actually
just texted me for real.
I'm not gonna answer Becky's text.
Oh look, she sent me a picture of a cat!
- Wait what, wait, my friend just got engaged!
- The light changes to green and they do not proceed.
- So happy for you two.
- Gonna get married.
I hope they liked that we're
putting that in our video.
- They contribute to traffic collisions because people are
trying to go around.
- Can I be the flower girl?
Sorry, sorry, I'm just answering this text from my friend.
- I should probably go.
Me.
Mouth.
Let's see, oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
- I don't know, I just can't quit it.
It's a fuckin' addiction.
What if Eugene posts a super cute photo and I'm not there to
see it within the first five minutes?
- What do you think is the greatest
struggle Korean Americans face today?
Looking at your faces.
(laughing) I'm fuckin' doing it.
Oh okay, oops, sorry, here we go.
- People can get very excited about what
they're seeing on the phone.
We get a big dopamine rush, causes us to
feel good and feel pleasure.
- Favorite Jewish Parable?
Wow.
- Lololololololol, wkow, this is fun.
Lololololol oh, shit, okay.
- And when we're feeling pleasure we want to do something
like continuing to do that activity.
- Hey!
- Ew.
(group laughs)
- Make it cute, let me make it cute.
- But if you're trying to drive while you're doing that
activity, that becomes a very dangerous situation.
- Oh my God.
Oh my God.
- [Ned] Oh crap.
I'm close to that.
- Oh, time to reverse.
Here we go, here we go.
- Hold on, hold on.
Oh my God, everything, oh my God.
There's pictures of fried chicken.
It looks amazing.
Oh my God, this chicken.
Chicken looks great.
Oh, did I hit something?
Did I hit something?
- We're still not calling a phone addiction a true
addiction but it has that same quality.
- Aw, it's a baby baby.
- I sharted my pants a lot you gotta be more specific.
- People still get excited, there's still dopamine release
which is that pleasure chemical in your brain.
- Oh my God, how do I heart this?
It's Ariel and Wes.
- Your judgements going to be impaired, your reflexes are
going to be slowed down, your coordination
is gonna be impaired.
This is when people are out of lanes.
They're have been multiple car crashes and accident seen
because they're looking for something else.
- Was that, wait, sorry.
Was that Keith's butt?
- You're driving metal, plastic, that weighs 3,000 pounds
that can easily be converted into a weapon.
- Oh God, oh no, oh no.
I've never fucked up the hair pins like this.
- It is a privilege to get your driver's license and drive.
It is not a right.
- Oh, This is so overwhelming.
- And with that privilege it's an awesome responsibility.
So hawwwwtttt!
- Go live on Instagram?
Okay, Instagram, Boomerang.
- [Doctor] If we check our Facebook
and we get a lot of likes that causes a big dopamine rush.
- What do you want pictures of?
- They're doing searches, they're looking at porn, they're
looking at dating sites.
- Okay, here's a photo of me, here's a photo of me.
Fuck you!
- Hey Instagram.
Hey everybody, I'm live right now.
- 10 seconds, 15 seconds and not being able to look in
front of you, you're going to run into problems.
Oh God, both nerds.
I think I made it sexy.
- Oh, we're good? Okay.
- There's so much.
You can't have me watch a video.
- Oh shit they're going down, no, no!
- Oh, my God, they literally are freezing my phone!
Fuck you!
Too many questions!
(Glass Shatters)
(Sirens wail)
- Oh!
- [All] Oh!
- [Keith] Bro, that's my car!
(quiet music)
- Whoops.
(dramatic music)
I don't know how much damage I caused.
I couldn't tell ya.
Off the scale.
I've always believed that I could multi-task
or that I could do the glance down, glance up.
What the fuck was that?
If today showed me anything, you can't
do both at the same time.
Responsiblidog, fuckin'!
You can't.
- This video was a nightmare.
- He has fucked this course to death.
- I hit everything.
When you're texting you're not looking at the road.
When you're not looking at the road you can't drive.
- I was able to actually do pretty well
because I did voice-to-text.
A lot less dangerous than looking at what you're typing.
Yes, you can access my photos, of course you can.
Okay, Keith, you knocked over the wall.
Oh no.
Still the only times I hit the dog, were when I was drinking
and driving and when I was texting and driving.
Oh God!
Oh no!
- Scariest think about texting and driving for me is that I
didn't care what happened.
Am I done?
Okay, great, alright, well that was a disaster.
- The day after filming this as I was driving
I got on my phone to say hey, I'm running 10 late.
What more could I do to prove to myself
that this is a bad idea?
- When I was sleepy and when I was high I would drift in
and out, and when I was drunk, I was just,
you know, a lunatic.
- [Ned] You're in the intersection.
- Let me drive.
When I was on my phone my world was this size.
- Am I gonna have to die to realize how bad this is?
- If you think you are the exception
you might become a statistic.
Wow, PSA, dropped it!
- [Zach] This series has been crazy.
- [Keith] Alcohol, marijuana, sleep deprivation,
all of which are not good ideas.
- They were all way worse than sober driving.
- Sober I was like okay here's a course,
but drunk I was like I'm gonna fuckin' nail this course.
Woo, let's go!
It's just so frightening to think that alcohol,
which makes you less capable suddenly makes you believe
that you're ultra capable.
- [Keith] Driving while high.
The four of us I think had the most varied results.
I don't want the message to be Keith was high
and was able to do it, Ned was high and he wasn't.
- [Ned] I seriously do not remember much
from the sleepy drive.
- [Woman's Voice] Do you recall that you hit the dog
so hard that myself and the director and several people
had to get under the car to get it out.
- Oh, I remember that now.
- I would beg you to take baby steps to move
in the right direction 'cause we are addicted to our phones.
They do not belong in the car and it is
only gonna get worse.
- They are all dangerous.
Dead is dead, it does not make a
difference how you ended up losing a life.
- It's so dangerous so just be careful out there.
[Upbeat Music]
- Smartphones want me to do this.
It says no right on red, idiot.
It's there, look at what you're doing,
what are you doing?
You're wrong, you piece of shit!
I hate bad drivers.
This town is full of them.
