Well guys, today we're going to be taking another look at Extreme Cheapskates. A show that I... "There are a lot of influencer boxing events out there over the years. We've had chess boxing which was a blast. But let me bring you through the story of Creator Clash... Oh God! "So fucking unpack these. I'll do the rest later." Anyways, Extreme Cheapskates. Now, I know what some of you are thinking, "Chris, didn't you just make a video on the show like a month ago?" and yes, I did. Good job. But I'm in the process currently of working on the biggest video I've ever made in my life in the background. So, I've been quite busy with that but I still wanted to get a video out for you this week. So, I figured why not do the show that is the easiest for me to make a video on and the one that you guys constantly asked for. So, eat it up you little piggies. The episode we're going to be watching is one that my buddy Joe actually did a video on about a year and a half or two ago and unfortunately lost to the copyright gods. I personally think that I am built different and I will be taking my own swing at this episode. So, if you guys are seeing it, then, good job me. This episode is the Extreme Cheapskates Vacation episode and it is not pleasant. What episodes ever are though, right? ♪♪ Whenever you hear those dubious music playing, you know that you're either about to see the dumbest staged bit on a show like this ever or you're about to see something really uncomfortable. Right now, it's the bit but the uncomfortable part will come later. "Since we only travel once a year, we don't use our luggage a lot and since we don't have bookshelves, we decide to put our books inside the luggage." I guess, I mean, I could think of like 20 different things you could do off the top of my head that is not this but -- it is a Cheapskates. "With his Cheapskate workout habits, Sean O'Brien saves $660 a year on the cost of a gym membership." Are you sure? Have you ever heard of a Planet Fitness? I think they're doing that thing where they just like take the most expensive gym membership you can get in his area and then they use that metric to like measure against, just to make it sound like he's saving the most amount of money possible when like... even if he got a decent gym membership that's like better than Planet Fitness, it would still be a fraction of that price. "Which is about the budget for his family of four's annual vacation." "Oh look at this one dad!" "It's cool." "Mm-hmm" The universal "shut the fuck up" of a parent is the "mm-hmm". "Little vacation map." "Can we go to New Orleans?" "Do you see New Orleans on this map?" Damn... ‘Can we go to New Orleans? I don't know. Uh, do we... let's - let's - let's - let's check the map. Do we see it on the map?’ ‘Hm... No I - I mean I was just saying that...’ ‘No, no let's see it if it's on the map. It's -- okay, I don't see it on the map...’ ‘So, why would you suggest it? Why would you suggest it?’ "Can we go here?" "Here it's to far." "Yeah, the beach is too far. It's outside of our circle." So, if you heard them say it's outside of the circle, you're about to find out exactly what this "circle" is that is determining where their vacation spot will be. "It has to be within a four-hour radius or zone, as in the O'Brien zone." "Within the O'Brien Circle." So, basically, where they're vacationing is going to be determined by the kill radius of a hydrogen bomb which they call "The O'Brien zone." "Pretty much anywhere that it doesn't take more than one tank of gas to get to and in back from." "You know what a Dude Ranch is?" "No." "It's where you get to go and do like old western cowboy/cowgirl thing." Here's the great part..." "What?" "It's in the zone?" "It's in the zone!" "Yeah." That's right. It's in the kill zone -- the O'Brien zone. But you know what guys, you don't have to be an Extreme Cheapskate to save money. Which is why I'm partnering with HelloFresh, the sponsor of today's video.

"I am excited about riding the horses at the Dude Ranch. Maybe he's doing some archery. I just hope my parents won't be as cheap as they usually are." Well there is a TLC camera crew in your living room right now. So, that is exactly what is going to happen. It's always funny -- one of the constants in this show is like the oldest, the son usually... is always the one that's like, "man, this fucking sucks. I hate this shit." like all the time. "Good luggage will cost anywhere from 120 to 130 per bag." "We've had this luggage for a few years." “Longer than we've had the kids.” “So you can see the zipper definitely is broken off but the - the framework of the suitcase is still very good.” “We probably saved like $2000 and not buying new luggage.” $2000... where are you getting your luggage from? Like of course, you can buy luggage for $2000. That is a thing. It's very possible to do. But you don't have to. It's the same shit as the gym membership. They just like found the most expensive luggage they could online and are like “alright, we are saving $2,000” in theory. I will admit though, them being really cheap, the luggage is like the least of an extreme cheapskates shenanigans. Like so if their suitcases are busted up and they use belts to close them up. It's not that bad. “Sleeping bags can be 40, 50 bucks. We have a comforter and what we do to close it up is use double-sided Velcro tape. Probably saved about $100 or so.” “Once again, this isn't the worst thing we've seen on this show, like them taking what I assume is the comforter that their aunt passed away in and then just putting double-sided Velcro tape inside to make it into a sleeping bag but it's still like, you're doing the most. You're doing the most. “Do you want this to be your sleeping bag?” “Mm-hmm.” “Cool.” She's too young to know what any of this is. It's always the youngest daughter is the one that just kind of goes along and is like, “alright, yeah. It's - I like this” and doesn't realize the gravity of how messed up this entire family is. “I've had these boots probably well over 10 years. As long as that framework is still good on the outside, there is really no reason to have to go out and buy a new pair.” I can think of one reason and it's look at them. This guy is very big on the - the term ‘framework’. “If the framework of something is still good, no need for it out.” “We've had this Jeep forever. One of the reasons we've had this Jeep so long is because Sean always figures out a way to fix it.” Something also which like maybe it kind of adds to the point that most of this is fabricated for TV but the fact that every Extreme Cheapskate has like the most gas-guzzling truck you can own. Like that one video I did a few years back with the Extreme Cheapskate that did the - the dishwasher lasagna. She was driving a Yukon Denali. Literally the biggest nuisance to the ozone layer you can own. And she was on Extreme Cheapskates and they're running around in this goddamn jeep. “The average family spends 1.5% or $817 of its annual income on auto repairs.” I think the most dangerous thing we've seen on an Extreme Cheapskate episode yet is that flimsy ass PVC pipe holding up the hood of that Jeep. Someone's head is coming off. “We noticed that the bulb went out and it actually wasn't the light bulb, it was the whole entire wiring system in the car. We got creative.” Yeah, I guess you use that word for that.” “And voila. You've got your license plate light. This mirror broke. So, he took one of my vanity mirrors and it fit perfectly.” You know, I'm pretty sure I don't know much - that much about [?] but I'm pretty sure they make mirrors on the sides of cars a little different than they make vanity mirrors that you put in your bathroom and also you can tell that they just threw this shit together before filming the show because there's no way you would just leave that handle on there. They know what they're doing and they're going for a very special look. “Sometimes it makes a noise, you know, but it's - we get over it real quickly.” I feel like you kind of have to in this family, you know? So before these guys are able to leave on their trip, they first have to weigh all of their bags and themselves on the scale to make sure that they weigh collectively under 620 pounds because if they don't, god forbid they will spend a couple more bucks on gas. Spoiler alert, they don't quite make weight, they - they're about 630 pounds so they have to just get rid of some shit... Jesus Christ! “If they keep the load under 620 pounds, they can travel 130 miles to the Dude Ranch on one single tank of gas.” So now, arguably the most dangerous thing -- I know I said it was that PVC pipe underneath the hood of the jeep, it is now changed. It is what they're about to do. “When I pull up to a gas pump, I actually don't turn off my ignition. I leave it on. You actually do waste more gas by turning your car on and off. You leave it on like they do in the races, you fill it up, you don't waste gas, you save money.” You know, I love those uh - those little signs they put up on each gas pump as a joke that say, “Do not leave your car running while you pump gas.” It's one of my favorite bits that gas stations do. “When Sean is pumping the gas, as fast as we can, we go into the gas station, go to the bathroom, fill up the water bottles with water.” Alright, alright. Here's the other one. Take the top off.” “I always fill up my tank when I get to half because it's actually the less view you have in your car, the more inefficient it is.” I don't think a single word that has come out of this guy's mouth this whole episode has been a fact. I think he just lies for fun, which I have to admit lying is pretty fun. “Not only do I look for the cheapest gas station, I look for the cheapest pump. The cheapest pump is the one that is coolest. When gas is cooler, it's more dense and you actually end up getting more gas per gallon.” Like I said, not a single truth-telling bone in this man's body. I'm pretty sure he just pulled all of that out of his ass.” “Run, run, run, run, run, run.” Also one of my favorite things about this show is there's always an employee somewhere that gives the “I don't get paid enough for this shit face” and that was probably the best one we've seen yet. “Ranch day can cost upwards of $6,000 a week. 10 times what Sean will pay.” “Hey, Welcome to the Ranch.” “Helo.” So now our family arrives at the Dude Ranch where they will be staying for the next week and this is some of the worst and most uncomfortable negotiating that I've seen on an Extreme Cheapskate episode yet. “The Yellowstone Cabin is 159 per night.” “Okay.” “And then we also have a very nice option as well called the Laredo Cabin. That option is 189 per night.” “Do you by chance have anything that might be a little bit cheaper?” “I really don't have a cheaper option.” “And I'm not sure how it's divided but it could be possible that you could bring out the other side.” “We're super easy to get along with so...” “Oh...” I don't care how easy to get along with you say you are, nobody wants to share a room with someone who also comes with a TLC camera crew. “Oh my goodness...” Also I love her reaction just like ‘Oh my god, you're not joking. Holy shit! Um, Okay.’ “Is there any way that we could just rent out the bunk beds?” “I'm willing to work with you just because it is a slower season and because we are midweek.” Of course, she fucking gives in. Whether it be the fact that the whole show's probably fucking fake or the fact that there's a camera crew there so she feels pressured to give in or maybe it's Mister O'Brien is big and buff because he lifts all those books and those suitcases. That's another thing. Half the time these Extreme Cheapskates, they're fucking - they're big. Like that guy in the last episode, his giant arms that he would just like flex to get people to bend to his will. “What if we charged something around the ballpark and I don't know, $80 or something like that for the bunk beds...” This man looks pissed. She made a mistake asking for $80 for these rooms. Look at that fucking face. And also his wife too. She's just like “Oh honey, no oh, he's - sorry, he's on a lot of TRT and he's been lifting a lot of books and suitcases, so we - you might just want to [whispers] do what he says.” Why they fucking show that dog? There's no reason to show that dog. “Let's say seventy.” “What if we'd said $75?” ‘What if we said $70? Um okay, what if we just said $80 because I'm already really doing a weird fucking thing here for you and you should be happy that I'm even entertaining this at all.’ “Could you meet me in the middle?” “Okay...” “We got a deal. Perfect. Thank you.” “Alright. Well, let me get your key and then I'll show you the cabin.” ‘Oh, good. Let's get you out of my face.’ “We're just going to go right on back here to the bedroom where we have the two bunk beds that's included in our...” “Arrangement.” “Arrangement of $75, but that does not include this bed here.” How are they enforcing this? Like what's to stop them from just using the bed? “That does not include the kitchen. You're not going to use the kitchen, right?” “Correct.” She's sort of talking to him like he's a child, which I don't blame her. He kind of is in certain aspects. ‘You're not going to use the kitchen, right?’ ‘No, you're not going to use this full bed next to you, okay?’ ‘Yeah, I know. Whatever. Fine.’ “Are there maid servers that are included with the room?” “Absolutely. That's included in the rates.” “We've actually bought blankets and sheets and pillows and everything, what if we, you know, forgo the maid service? What do you think? You might be able -- We'd maybe take a little bit more off?” The family off to the side just cowering in horror while they watch their dad just be a complete maniac. “Oh goodness sakes...” Oh my god, it doesn't end with you guys! Fine. Well, fucking seventy bucks. Are you happy? I'm getting a big box of bagged wine on my way home tonight because of you. You motherfucker. “I can take $5 off if you use your own linens.” “Perfect.” “Alright. That’s good.” “$70 then, right?” “Okay, $70.” “I somehow walked away. I think I got the short end of the stick, honestly.” As do most people involved in these episodes that are not the main Extreme Cheapskate. Nobody walks away a better person after these shows are made except for me. I get - I get fucking paid but I do walk away emotionally poorer so...” “I did not expect to share a whole bunk bed with my entire family.” I feel you little man. I - I feel you. “The O'Briens chose a Dude Ranch that features a la carte recreations and have allowed their kids only free activities saving an additional $100 a day.” So now we get to kind of see the activities they're going to be doing throughout this vacation. The main one being horseback riding, which he's going to ruin that too. “We're hoping to come see about group discount if we all share a ride.” “I mean, all one horse? No, we can't do that.” “No, no, no at the same time but you know, maybe just for one horse one hour.” “Is that going to be enough for you? That's really not a lot of riding.” ‘Are you sure it's going to be for you and your whole family? I don't think your kids are going to have that much fun with that.” Oh [L] I don't give a shit about them. Come on. How much?’ “Well, it's not something we normally do, but uh...” This guy must hear so much in his life. ‘Well that's not something we normally do but god damn it, I - I guess we can... okay.’ “So, for one horse for 1 hour. It'll be about 10 minute ride. By the time you figure it out and change riders, whatever, it be about 10 minute ride.” “Okay.” “I've never split a trail ride on one horse between multiple people before. That was a - that was a first.” So, they each get their 10 minute horse and apparently have a blast according to the dad which I don't think it takes much for him in anything. “It was pretty fun. I wish we could've gotten to ride on it a little longer but I guess my dad just wanted to get a good deal and as long as he's happy for getting a good deal, I guess I'm happy too.” This show is just “How to end up in a home when you're older” 101 because that is - that is all they're doing to these kids. “A vacation doesn't have to be extraordinary to be fun. You just have to have an extraordinary time.” But did you do that though? I don't really think you - you hit the nail in the head with that one. “Hold on, I gotta close it up.” “ Don't worry about it.” “I want to be warm.” “Good night kids.” Fuck! Well, it's - it's no trip to the Kalahari but um, I can't compare this to any. There - there's - there's - I can't compare this trip to anything. I still don't think this was anywhere near as bad as the Millionaire Cheapskate one where she fed her ex-husband who mows her lawn cat food on a sandwich. Um, yeah there's no beating that one. Well, I hope you guys did enjoy this video. Remember, coming soon my big video. I'll give you - I'll give you one hint for what this really big video is. I think you probably get the gist of that. So, that will be coming out soon. Hopefully within the next week, week and a half -- I don't know. We'll see. Copyright depending, a lot of things depending.
