- Today is all about surprising
my mother-in-law with her dream.
(group cheering)
And what is her dream?
Well it's to ride a Zamboni.
(whimsical music)
Becky's mother has always talked
about how much she loves Zambonis,
the ones that clean carpets,
the ones that wax floors,
but specifically, the ones that clean up hockey rinks.
Becky's always been like, Keith,
you gotta do a video where you make my mom
ride a Zamboni, and I'm like, that's crazy.
(laughs) Who, what are you talking about?
Because of COVID, Becky hasn't been able
to see her parents in over a year.
They just came into town, and it does seem
like doing a silly surprise would be really nice and fun.
So that's what we're gonna do.
We're making Becky's mom think that we're shooting
a 4 vs 1 hockey Try Guys video,
but really, it's surprising Becky's mom
with a ride on a Zamboni.
Today's gonna be a big day, though.
We have a lot of people in on this ruse.
- I have produced all the Try Guys 4 vs 1 videos.
We've got poker, we've got chess, we've got bowling.
When I saw something about hockey come through the email,
I was like, here we go, let's get on the ice.
Let's play some hockey, and then I read it.
And I was thoroughly confused,
so I did the first thing I usually do is,
I called up Jonathan, and I said, I need some help.
- Okay, uh, speeding.
So I'm running sound today, obviously.
Nick reached out to me and said,
hey, we need to find an ice rink,
which is pretty par for the course,
but then he said the reason for it was that we were doing
like a prank video on Becky's mom.
We've done prank videos before,
most notably, with Eugene sitting on Keith's lap
and they are so much fun to shoot,
because you only have one shot at it.
It's a little nerve wracking, but it's also very exciting.
- So here's how it's gonna go down.
I had to wake up 6:00 this morning so I could believably
have to leave at 8:00 to go train.
I really just went to Ralph's and got some flowers,
some wine, some Tootsie Roll pops,
'cause yesterday, she was asking Becky
where our Tootsie Pops were.
We've never owned Tootsie Pops,
but really, the present is the Zamboni.
This is icing on the cake, and sometimes,
people scrape off the icing.
You know? I do.
Becky has been getting some videos of her parents
for their expectations of the day.
- [Becky] How do you think the Try Guys
are gonna do today?
- Keith is very tall and lanky.
So I think he'll make great strides.
Ned, he's very athletic.
Both him and Eugene, I'm sure,
will have the stamina.
I think Zach is gonna be the heart of the Try Guys,
but he's probably gonna be underestimated.
- I think the Try Guys should be very careful.
- They absolutely think that we're going to a hockey game.
My mom's gonna flip out. (yells)
- Okay, it is so cold in here.
I didn't think about how it would be really cold.
I just heard the Millers and Becky show up.
They're getting seated to watch Keith
do some hockey tricks.
Of course, it's not Keith. I'm Keith.
I just heard Nick tell them that I've been practicing
all morning and I'm pretty good. (laughs)
There's no way I would be actually good.
I'm wondering if they can tell it's not me.
Should I peek out? (door creaking)
- Whoa. - Wow!
- He's pretty good.
(whimsical music) - Looking good!
Looking good, Keith.
- They're cheering me on. (laughs)
They're cheering me on right now.
- Wow. - Wow.
- I'm very surprised about Keith.
- [Kim] I am too.
He looks fantastic.
- [Nick] Are you nervous for them
to play into a hockey game?
- I was worried that he might be
in a body cast after this.
I mean- - But now-
- That's, no, I- - No.
- Now I'm sure he's gonna be in a body cast.
I'll have to take him out right away.
- It's a secret skill.
- Yeah.
- No, we just don't want any Chiclets broken.
- Oh, yeah, she looked up hockey words.
- Those are teeth. - Oh!
- Those are teeth for hockey.
- She got all the hockey terms yesterday.
- Oh, tell 'em what you learned about the-
- He has his- - When they had to pour
the water on the ice, that you learned.
- Oh, hoser, they call the loser a hoser,
because before the Zamboni was invented,
the team who lost had to hose down the ice rink
before the next game.
- [Nick] What is the Zamboni?
- A Zamboni? - A Zamboni?
- The ice machine.
- Zambonis are amazing.
I just love Zambonis because they clean.
- Yes. - So beautifully.
Everything looks so perfect.
I know, it is so weird.
- [Nick] But you've never been on one?
- No, never. - Never.
- [Nick] Is there a chance she might not wanna get on?
- There is a chance that she's always just said
this is her dream, but she actually doesn't wanna do this.
Okay, it's time.
I'm gonna come out.
- He really did not let on-
- Yeah, did you- - That he knew how to skate.
- Do you feel like he tricked you?
- I do. He did trick me.
- [Becky] Like what do they call it when you're like a-
- A ringer. - A ringer.
- He's a ringer. - Yeah, a ringer.
- Just his ability to skate-
- That was pretty good. - And shoot.
(dramatic music)
- Oh, wow!
- Wow, that was really good!
- Keith! Oh my gosh.
- What? What?
- They said you were on there.
- They said you were number 3!
- Well, what a lie that was.
- Yeah, we thought that was you.
I'm like, what? - I'm like, really?
- I know, right?
- Keith never told us.
- Guys, so sorry to disappoint you.
We're actually not shooting a hockey video today,
'cause we couldn't do that.
We couldn't get enough players.
All they had available
was a Zamboni for us to ride.
- Oh! - What?
- We're going on a Zamboni.
(Kim cheers)
(group laughing) (bright music)
- [Becky] Do you see what Keith has?
- Not only that- - Tootsie Pops!
- [Keith] But yesterday, you were looking for a sucker.
- So we get to ride a Zamboni?
- [Becky and Keith] You get to ride a Zamboni.
- Oh my gosh. - This is your day.
- And they came just for my day.
- Well, actually, they're here just for you,
and look at this. - Oh my goodness.
- Wow! - Thank you.
- So believable. - And we have a jersey.
(Kim yells)
- I never had my own hockey jersey.
- Give me your flowers.
Yeah, put it on.
- Oh my God. (record scratching)
Oh, sorry. (Keith laughing)
- You can say oh my God. - You can say God.
- Oh my gosh.
- Yeah, your daughter swears all the time on these things.
- She swears too much on the podcast, "Come Sit with Us."
I told her.
- So they came all the way out
just to help us with this ruse.
- [Kim] That's unbelievable.
- I thought number 3 was a little bit short for Keith.
I'm looking at him, I'm saying-
- Oh, yeah, there it is.
There it is. - There it is.
- There you go.
- Okay, I'm just so nervous.
Thank you so much.
And you're the LA Kings? - No, we're-
(group laughing)
- Who are you? - [Both] UCLA.
- UCLA, I'm sorry. College kids, aw!
- Thank you guys. - Hugs to you.
Hugs to you.
- Thank you.
- Thank you. - I gotta get in on this.
- I love Zambonis.
- Okay, well, let's get on one.
- I'm excited, Keith.
Thank you.
- Isn't this funny? - Grandma's gonna die
when she hears. - I know!
- You did it.
- Is this turned to the ice?
- [Keith] No, it's turned at you.
- Oh, it's turned at me. - It's filming you.
- Oh, great.
- Okay, enjoy the ride!
- Okay! - Ride of a lifetime!
See you later! Bye!
- This is awesome.
(whimsical orchestral music)
And there's the players.
- Oh, she's waving at her friends.
(group laughs) - Waving to the crowd.
- [All] Aw.
- Oh, that is adorable.
- Have you ever driven a vacuum Zamboni?
- She asked him, have you ever driven a vacuum Zamboni?
- I'd like to do that, too.
Oh my gosh.
We're turning!
(group laughing)
- [Becky] She looks like a little kid.
- Wow, this is amazing!
I never thought it was so high!
Now how long does it take to master this?
Driving it?
- She's just chatting with the Zamboni driver.
- Come on, you gotta.
- Six months. - Oh, wow!
- Her feet. - Her feet!
- [Keith] Her feet are just kicking.
- And look at the ice.
Oh, it's like glass.
It's beautiful.
- [Keith] Hi!
- There's everybody watching me.
Whoo-hoo!
- They should have it be that like fans get to ride.
- Yeah! - They should be part
of the hockey experience.
And today's mother-in-law on the ice.
(bright whimsical orchestral music)
- This is one of my top favorite things
that have happened to me.
Ooh!
Oh, thank you so much.
Okay, I had my ride. I loved it!
- I think the biggest question here is,
why have you always wanted to ride a Zamboni?
- This was spectacular.
- It was everything you hoped it would be?
- Everything.
I loved the feeling of the ice getting smoothed out,
and the water coming out, it was like glass.
And that's very calming for me.
Even the driver told me when he's out there,
that's his me time. - Oh yes.
- Beautiful. Thank you.
- I'm so glad.
It was very funny. - I love you guys so much.
- It was very fun. - Thank you.
- Yeah, of course.
- Thank you. - Your little jersey.
- And thank you, everybody.
It's- - Thanks.
- Overwhelming, overwhelming.
- You made her day. - Yeah.
- You made her week, you made her month.
- Year, you made my, yeah, just everything.
- Well, Happy Mother's Day to all of the mothers out there.
Make sure you do something nice for your mother,
or just any mothers that are in your life.
You know?
It's a fun time.
Making people happy makes you happy.
Also, obviously, Happy Mother's Day
to my actual birth mother, Patty.
Happy Mother's Day, Mom.
I love you.
- You missed a spot over there.
- Yeah, I know. We might have to go for another ride.
(group laughing) (upbeat music)
Don't ever be hosers.
Do you know what that is? - No.
- I googled it.
Yeah, you're way too young.
Before the Zamboni was invented, I was telling Nick,
the losing team had to hose down the ice rink.
- Oh, okay. - For the next game.
Yeah. - We will win, so-
- You guys are lucky, yeah, so never be a hoser.
