- So Kari's birthday's coming up.
It's June 23rd.
So, not too far from now.
Finding gifts for girls, I mean,
I find that to be incredibly difficult.
- I feel like we could find the cure for cancer
before we'll find the perfect gift for Kari.
- Yeah.
But, we definitely know something she's going to love.
Alright, so we kind of modified the studio a little bit.
Got the 20 millimeter F 1.4 prime lens
on here.
It's a Sigma R.
Let's try a few shots.
(upbeat music)
The wide angle look is very cool,
but it's definitely not that portraity.
So, I think we can switch to a 50 millimeter
and try to a few more of those standard portrait looks.
(upbeat music)
Okay, so I think what we need to do is
get her a little bit tired 'cause when she's tired,
she's has this big 'ole tongue that sticks out.
We'll her a little bit and we'll take a few more shots
when she's a little more tired.
So right now, she looks like she's about to fall asleep.
Easiest way to get Lefty and Pita tired
is this little laser right here.
All the dogs don't give a sh-
(beep)
but check this out.
What's that?
(upbeat music)
(dog barks)
Bite, bite, bite.
Yes.
(laughs)
[Gene]He's just gonna chew your leg off.
Get his crotch.
Go, get it.
Yeah, that's- that- that tongue right there,
that's what I'm looking for.
Who's a happy dog?
Look how happy Lefty looks now.
Ah yeah, look at that now.
Now she's look at this treat.
Yeah there's some good stuff in here.
Alright so we got our setup here.
We got Lefty right there.
We got our dome light with 120D mark II.
We go a little 120D back there
in that corner right there.
That is just giving a little splash on the background,
and we got a backlight coming in right there,
just giving her a little bit of an edge.
This is what I got her for the last gift.
She's never sat on it once.
Mozzarella, you're up next.
Can you hold this cookie like around hereish?
(bright pop music)
Alright Mozzarella, good job.
I think we got some good ones.
You can hop off now.
Go 'head, jump off.
- [Sam] Come on.
- This is gonna look so good printed out.
I mean look at this.
I'm thinking what we should do is have
two looking to the right,
two looking to the left.
It's gonna look good, man.
Who's excited?
Who's an excited dog?
Yeah.
(upbeat music)
This is gonna look so good.
Just imagine these printed out huge in the living room.
What I want is for people to like come inside the house
and look at it and be like I think these people are insane.
(laughs)
That's what I want.
Let's measure this to the light switch.
So that is nine feet right there.
If it's gonna be four pictures, how wide should each one be?
Little math right there.
- What do you think like the dogs are gonna think?
They're like these guys are-
(laughs)
we're their- we're their gods like we rule this house.
- I know right.
I'm gonna go look at some printing options
and that wall is gonna look awesome.
(punk music)
Alright so the packages-
Sam, where'd you go?
Sam's in space right now.
Hey take those off.
I wanted to print out one of them to test it out
and then as long as the print looked good,
we were gonna print out three more,
but we just don't have the time for that
'cause Kari's birthday is coming up real soon.
- So cross your fingers.
- Hopefully, these prints come out looking all right.
So, let's open it up.
- Oh ho ho, the colors came out looking pretty good
and it is pretty massive.
There's four of these.
By the way, what do you guys think of my Potato Jet shirt?
Ah man, these prints are looking good.
Okay, who did we- who did we get from?
We got this from Easy Canvas Prints.
This is not sponsored, but the did a good job for us,
so alright.
Here's the thing, Kari kind of seems
like she knows what it is already because I asked her,
if we got you a little something,
she was like is it a bunch of portraits of my doggies?
(laughs)
She gets it like so fast.
- And I was like I think were a little bit
more creative than that,
but we both know we're not.
- Yeah, we- we're totally not.
She called it right away.
It was a long time ago I had mentioned it,
like long, long time ago.
It was like I wanna take portraits of the dogs
and print them out all huge.
- Women remember stuff.
- They do.
Th- I would have forgotten about it so fast, but anyways.
- [Sam] I don't even remember what we did yesterday.
- Yeah, what did we do yesterday?
Oh, we just drove back from Vegas.
That's all we did yesterday.
- [Sam] And we almost tipped the Jeep over.
- We did almost tip the Jeep over.
'Kay, I was doing donuts and then the Jeep just went boop
up on two wheels.
It went went urgh, so don't do that.
So basically, while we were working
on the first half of this video,
we were trying to keep it a secret from Kari,
so Sam thought it'd be funny to call it
Operation Chicken Coop,
no idea where you came up with that name.
Where'd you come up with that name?
- I made it up.
- You were just like chicken coop.
- Yeah 'cause we were a bunch of chickens in this coop.
(laughs)
- I thought it was a funny name
and I started labeling it on my calendar
as Operation Chicken Coop and Kari sees my calendar
and goes what's Operation Chicken Coop?
I'm like well it's a secret.
I can't tell you and she keeps asking
like what is Operation Chicken Coop?
And I just assume she just realized it was her birthday.
- Right when we were already in Vegas, she calls.
- Yeah, on the way to Vegas,
we're driving on our way to Vegas' bachelor party
and she's like I found out what Chicken Coop is.
And then she shows me a screen grab of Urban Dictionary
and it says adult entertainment.
Who- I've never heard of anyone
call a strip club a chicken coop,
but I gue- I guess it kind of makes sense .
- Everything on Urban Dictionary is gross.
- Probably couldn't have a worse name to call a secret
before you go to a bachelor party in Vegas.
- Now that I'm looking back at it,
I should have named it like oh Camera X 75.
You wouldn't have known what that means.
- Yeah, she wouldn't totally.
- I wouldn't have thought twice about it.
- If you really think about it, then it was such a su-
my idea was such a success
that it threw off the scent on the birthday thing.
- Exactly, that was actually a great plan.
- So you're telling me what Operation Chicken Coop is?
- Yes.
You're gonna find out what Operation Chicken Coop is.
It's not her birthday quite yet,
but we're just gonna show it to her early.
- Let's try a few shots.
- Ah, you took picture of the doggies.
(chuckles)
- The wide angle look is very cool,
but it's definitely not portraity.
- Oh, I love it.
- I'm giving her a massage.
- Oh my God, look at Chickie.
- Huh, ready for the reveal?
- They're here?
- Curtain roll.
- Oh my gosh.
- [Sam] Oh wait, hold on.
(laughs)
- [Gene] Sam, Sam, this is a dramatic moment.
You messed it up.
- Oh my God.
You can't film me crying.
- I love you.
- I love them, I love you.
Oh my gosh, they look so good.
You're so cute.
You think Pita knows that that's her?
- That portrait is four times her size.
She's terrified.
- [Sam] She's like an evil dictator.
- Oh my gosh, people are gonna think we're nuts.
- I know; Isn't that great?
- Oh my gosh, they came out so good.
- [Gene] I know right.
I we-
- Aw.
- [Gene] We actually just got the prints in earlier.
- Oh, thank you so much.
- You're welcome.
- Thank you so much.
I love it.
It's the best birthday present ever.
- [Sam] This is you in giant mode.
(laughs)
- [Gene] You wanna take this inside the house?
- Yes.
- [Gene] Alright, let's take these in the house
and unwrap them.
(upbeat music)
- [Gene] I would say that was a success.
I did the impossible: give a girl a gift
that she actually likes.
I've never done that before.
By the way, what do you guys think of this mug, huh?
A little skeleton dude with a broken arm,
sitting next to lefty with no left arm.
Oh what?
You love it so much, you want to buy it right now?
Well yeah, just go to potatojet.com.
(chuckles)
Yes, my video are gonna become a giant commercial
for merch for a little while.
I just got my hospital bill for this.
Guess, guess how much it is.
For the surgical procedure to put my arm back in place,
it was 44 thousand dollars,
a hundred and 50 bucks.
Oh ho ho no, 44 thousand
and that just the surgery with ER and all that stuff,
it's closer to 50
but thank God I at least had some insurance,
which is covering most of it.
They're still processing it all through my insurance
and stuff but I think the final, final bill is gonna be
75 hundred, which still sucks.
That's really expensive,
but it's better than 50 thousand dollars,
so thank goodness for insurance,
even if its crappy insurance,
still I would have been so screwed
if I didn't have health insurance,
so yay health insurance.
(laughs)
I'm gonna move to Canada.
Let's finish this up with reading some comments
from my last video which is all about this Canon T seven.
Oh what, this shirt?
This shirt?
Yeah this, you can this shirt from potatojet.com too.
Check it out pretty cool stuff,
super comfortable you'll like it
and also thank you helping me pay this medical bill.
(laughs)
Top comment was from Renwick.
Don't blame the dogs for farting.
I know it was you.
Okay, it wasn't me, okay?
I swear it was the dogs.
I'm a proud farter, okay?
If I fart, I let it rip.
Sometimes I'll be recording and I'll just start gagging
like Mozzarella's right here, right now.
Let me show you.
So, this is where I stand to record
and down here Mozzarella.
She just, just I step over her like that
and then I record this show.
(laughs)
Kurdi says Potato Jet?
More like Potato Head.
I actually get that a lot from people
that aren't even trying to mess with me,
just come up to me and they're like hey,
aren't you Potato Head?
I'm like no.
I'm a jet, okay?
Can't you see that I'm wearing a potato jet.
Well, it actually has propellors,
so technically it's not a jet,
but yo-
Oh man, when you hit manual mode,
it was eos R at least.
I mean that's the whole trick with these cameras, right?
It's like as soon as you go into manual mode,
you could do a lot.
It's really the operator not so much the camera itself.
If you don't know how to shoot a manual yet,
you can totally check my video, of course.
Okay, I think I'm done.
How many things have I plugged so far?
This is- I think this is excessive.
Kari just came in to disturb me.
Come here.
I was trying to convince them
that it was the dogs that farted and not me.
- Oh, they both, you both fart a lot but-
- Yeah, but I'm expressive with my farts, okay?
I make it like a clarinet.
(clarinet imitation)
I make it musical.
- Yeah.
- It's art, but the dogs just silently
- Silent, but deadly.
- Exactly, yeah, see.
There you go.
(laughs)
I told you, it wasn't me that farted.
Look at that shirt though.

You think I plugged my merch enough?
- Ye- yeah.
- Can you start making some baskets
and we'll start selling it?
We're also selling one of the dogs, so you know.
- Which couch do you want to sleep on tonight?
(laughs)
- All the points I got from getting those portraits: over.
Anyways, we gotta start getting ready for our camping trip.
We're going to a place with no reception for a couple days.
I'm actually really excited to
- Whoo.
- Just unplug
(popping)
disconnect until my camera batteries die.
Then I'm gonna be like
(coughs)
what am I supposed to do?
It should be fun.
We got a rooftop tent that we're gonna test out.
- Yeah,
- Should be a good time.
(upbeat music)
- Hey guys, Mr. Tech Hobby here and I just want to say
thank you to Potato Jet for sending over
the Insta360 nano S.
I'll definitely be sure to use a lot and peace.
