Cause if you do this, if you come from the bottom, there's gonna be a moment in the footage where you can see my
junk, and I don't want. Oh, are you talking about the moment where I'm pointing at your junk? I get it. Okay. Okay. We're doin' this. How are my levels? How's my hair? Focus tracks me. Ooh, it still works. This is what it's like to vlog. I'm headed to Link's house. So I've invited Rhett over to my house. To take a shower in his shower. There's a particular aspect to my shower that I've been bragging to Rhett about. I want him to come over here
and experience it firsthand. There's also a controversy,
I guess I'll call it, around the advice that he's been giving me about what I should be
doing with the feature that I've been bragging
about in my shower. I have already taken a
shower in my own shower because I don't know if
I can trust his shower. But I won't tell him that. So today, I hope to
determine once and for all if his advice was as
stupid as I think it was. It's raining. It's not supposed to rain
in Southern California. Oh, they have a Christmas theme. Someone's at the door. Good morning! Welcome to my house. It's not like you haven't been here. This is what vlogging is like, Link! This is vlogging. This is what a two-man vlog is like! You can't cover up your
face with the camera cause. Jake, you need to be quiet for a second, I'm figuring something out. I'm putting you on the left. And I'm putting you on the right. Yeah that works. But your camera's still
in front of your face. How about one of these like this? To the side? Yeah that might do it. What if we filmed ourselves like this? Like that? There's no camera in there. Let's just do this, this is much easier. You're covering your face. Cause I'm trying not to cover your face with your camera. Am I covering my face? Okay that works. Okay. Can I see your bathroom? Yeah. I've been in Link's house many times but your, your bedroom suite is upstairs and I typically don't visit your bedroom. Exactly. That's for you and your wife. Here it is. Yeah this is it, man. This is the bathroom. Look at that, look around. Is it all that you thought it would be? I see two windows. You got a window for the bathtub. Right. And you've got a window for the shower. That's exactly right. It's a nice bathroom.
Oh! Look at that! You see that? You see how that thing just beckons?
Was that because I hit the switch or is it
because I walked towards it? When you walk towards it it opens up and it beckons. You don't even have to lift that lid. Push the other button. Oh that's.
Push the farther left button. Yeah yeah. Yeah! I got one of these in my house. That's pee mode. What happens when you hit the bidet when no one's on it? That's a good question. This is a smart toilet it knows nobody's there. That's not what today's about. When I first moved into this house, before we remodeled this bathroom, the shower was over here
and it did have a window. Now the window was opaque but what I would do.
As most shower windows are. Yeah, but I don't get that. What's the point of a window
if you can't look out it? The point of an opaque window in a shower.
I wanted it, it was a rhetorical question. But um, there is an answer. Well it was rhetorical. It let's light in. It was rhetorical. You get the sunlight but
you don't lose privacy. What I would do. It's called a privacy window. I would look out the window while I was taking a shower and when I remodeled I
wanted the shower to have a more panaranomic cinemananic view of more of the, of the mountain range. So when we redesigned this I said, "I want a window in the
shower to remain even though I encountered resistance
all along the way". There's no issue of being seen naked. You don't, there's no issue with seeing anybody's junk or anybody's
breasts in this situation. This is definitely a neck-up window. But to me, I don't like the idea
of being seen at all. Any part of me while I'm naked. Which brings us to the issue. One time I looked down from the mountains into my neighbor's driveway
where his car was parked and I noticed. Huh, right there. That he was getting in his car. I was like, I was like ducking. I was like, I'm bathing, I'm shampooing and I'm like, trying to hide myself
and see if he can see me. By the end I was cowering in the corner showering in my own shower. That's no way to be. And then once he left
I bent down like this and then I be peeking to
see if he's over there cause he would be right there, that's my neighbor's house. So I'm telling Rhett all
of this on the podcast, and then you're saying. Your toilet keeps opening and closing. Just unplug it. Can we turn it off? Well you know there's a
button to turn it off. No that's the flush. Do you know how to turn it off? No, I don't. It's not my toilet. Oh, that is the flush. I'll just unplug it. What I told Link was, "You need to lean into this". Now I tend to think about
the inevitable apocalypse. When it really hits
the fan in Los Angeles, neighborhoods become tribes and then you don't want to
be subservient in that tribe. You want to be one of the leaders. He tells me to stare down my neighbor while I'm showering. I was like. To assert dominance. Yeah because if you develop a relationship with your neighbor whereby
when he looks at you, you cower in fear, then he's gonna have you on
a leash in the apocalypse. You want him on a leash. Are you talking about a physical leash? Yeah people are gonna be carrying around people on leashes in the apocalypse. What I'm saying is you
need to look at him, you need to dominate him. He needs to cower in fear, get into his car and go away and so you did that, right? I, I, I did do that. And how did it go? It was hard. It's hard to be a leader. It took a lot of gumption. Mm-hm. And then when I was doing it, I don't know for sure that he saw me but I think he did. And he did- I don't
know, he just drove off. But he was gonna do that anyway. Have you talked to him since? I haven't talked about this, like, "Hey did did you notice when I was staring at ya in my shower"? Well you wouldn't want to talk
to him about that directly. Right. You talk about other things. You act as if it never happened. Well I did that. Good, that's good. Cause like, we went out of town and like they kept our mail for us. Oh so you're already
getting him to do your work? Yeah. They're already serving. Here's the thing, I want to know what it
feels like to be him when I do what you told
me to do in my shower. So I want you to take a shower. Okay. And I want to go into
my neighbor's driveway. Mm-hm. Be my neighbor, see what it feels like to be him when you're being me doing
what you told me to do. You gonna let me do that in private? Well I'm gonna film it. Just... You're gonna film it from the waist up. Well yeah, I'm not gonna film your junk. I don't want Ben when he's editing this to see my junk or my ass. And neither do I. So when you frame me I want you to start from the top and I want you to tilt down. Cause if you do this, if you come from the bottom there's gonna be a moment in the footage where you can see my junk and I don't want. Oh you're talking about the moment where I'm pointing at your junk? I get it. Okay. If I'm gonna be in there when you're
naked I don't know why I just can't be in there
when you're getting naked. You think the act of
taking your clothes off is a little more weird? Yeah if it, yeah. I kinda feel like a stripper.
Than just having your clothes off? I feel like a stripper you know now, but in a second I'm just gonna be a man taking a shower with his
best friend filming it. Not weird at all. Okay I'm in. I'm filming the ceiling. Okay well I thought I
was filming the ceiling and it just barely. Tilt up, man! I am tilting up. Let me zoom in. Your shower is too short. First thing I can tell is this, oh you got a, you have
a, you have a rain thing? Yeah I got a rain thing, man. First of all, you're gonna wanna take. I can figure out a shower. All right fine. I'm a man who. Fine. I stay in hotels all the time. That doesn't do anything. Is it there, ohg! Yeah it starts off pretty cold. What? What? It comes out of there first. You told me not to tell you! "Don't want to mess up my hair". Now it's coming out of both of them! I'll figure it out. I'm bringing the rain in. Oh yeah. That's a hard rain. I can make it not so
hot so it doesn't fog. You got to take advantage of that window. How do you defog the window? You crank it open. Yeah, look at that. I crank this open when I'm
in the shower and then. I don't know you're seven
inches shorter than me. Get more my height. Yeah that, that's my height. Yeah and that's what I mean. See that? Eyeline. That's it, man, this is what you see. Okay so, what kind of faces do you make? Do you do those Herbal
Essences commercials? Well if you're gonna do that I'm gonna film your junk. If you don't, do you do that or do you not do that? I don't do that. Okay. Was that lightening? You're not supposed to take a shower when it's lightening. What if I die, doing this for you? How would you feel about that? Well you'd probably have.
If lightening, lightening. The first two-man vlog ever suddenly becomes a one-man vlog. All right so you stay
here, keep showering. I'm gonna go out there I guess with a freaking... umbrella and then we're gonna, we can communicate. I think we'll be able to yell at each other.
You might have to yell. Pretty sure they're not home. So here's his driveway, here's his garage. This is where he typically parks. And then over there is, is my... Psh, frustrated! I think he's frustrated. I'm having to work out some sort of a, some sort of a rig to keep myself dry. Oh gosh this is. This is hard. There we go. I hope we don't destroy these cameras. One of them's in the rain the
other one's in the shower. This rain is a bit frustrating. I'm sitting here trying
to hold a freaking. You know what? This is great. If we can get through this video with these conditions, man, two cameras- three cameras! No help, it's raining. If we can do this first video, think about what, how easy the second video's gonna be. So I've gotten on the roof in order to get the best shot that represents what it feels like to be my
neighbor in his driveway. That's what it feels like for him when he gets in his car. How's that? Pretty creepy. Why would any neighbor in his right mind while showering stare a guy down when he's just trying
to begin his commute? When you have that man on a leash and he's doing your bidding. Okay at this point a dude drove up who we put in the video but then afterward he asked to not be in the video. So we replaced him with a chipmunk. This is the kind of thing that happens when you're doing a two-man vlog. A chipmunk just shows up when it wants to. You can't tell it to stop. I feel like we should ask the chipmunk what he thinks. Sure. Let's see if I can get
a third unbiased opinion from my chipmunk. This is good, getting an unbiased third party to give their opinion
is a really good idea. Hey there! I could use
your help with something. My neighbor can see me showering when he gets in his car to go to work. He's having a conversation
with the chipmunk. I'm not party to it. Just stand right here. Hello. And squat down a little bit. Why don't you just tell me what you see? I can see the dude just combing his hair. He's running his hand through his hair. Yeah he's shampooing. Would you say that he's
making eye contact with you? Yes I could tell. How does that make you feel? You're about to, you're
getting in your car, you're going to work. I would just say "bye" and then leave. So you think it's fine. Yeah, I'm not seeing nothing wrong. Hey Link! Yeah? Let me try some intimidation techniques. Okay, he's gonna try some
intimidation techniques. You just look at him looking at you and tell me what he's doing. I think he's doing the Rock eyebrow. Okay. I am Madigan. I am the leader of the Highland tribe. You will do my bidding. Well he looks mad right now. I need you to break into that rundown Super Wal-Mart and get me a cooler. Two coolers! On a scale of one to 10 how intimidated are you right now, when you look at him looking at you? I'm not intimidated at all. He thinks you're not intimidating. See, just to clarify, he's told me when I shower to stare my neighbor
down and intimidate him so that when the apocalypse comes I, I will have dominance over him. You've been tremendously helpful, seriously.
Yeah, . Thank you, man. All right, brother. Okay so, he was intimidated, right? Uh, no. He actually thought that
it was an opportunity for a friendly connection. Right but what about when I got into my intimidation techniques? You were saying stuff? Yeah I was intimidating him. I don't know, man. You're kinda barking up the
wrong apocalyptic tree here. If your relationship with your neighbor in the present time, before it hits the fan, is important. It kind of is. Then maybe you can be nice to him. Maybe you can just do a
slight nod and a wave. I'm not gonna argue with that. But if and when I come back and shower I will intimidate him. I'd kinda like to just
get out of the rain. I'm almost out of battery. That's something you
gotta worry about, too. It's lockers, man. I got a lot to think about. Okay, you put on your clothes. Yeah. I dried off a little bit. I still don't know what else, I don't know what the firm conclusion is except I think you've just been trying to control me into doing something idiotic. Possibly, but I will say, we did it, man. We made a video without any help. Why are we, we're like
bent over right now. Yeah, this was your idea.
Which I think, I think is symbolic.
I kinda want to stand like this. This is symbolic of how I feel about how this video went. Just kinda like, okay. I feel great about. Okay that battery died so now we're here. And there's only one
percent on this battery so we gotta get this out real fast. Get out what? Psh, I don't know. I don't have anything to say now. Subscribe! We're gonna get good at this. I just feel like I need to go take, take another shower. You can leave, though. Okay.
I absolutely loved the vlog!!!
this video felt like a short form of ear biscuits, much more personal and casual than gmm but still weird and hilarious.
I LOVED this so much!! It was so fun seeing them in control of the camera and just being themselves! I’ve already watched twice and planning on a third because the chipmunk part kills me it’s so funny XD! So happy they are vlogging now!!! It was so interesting to see how they are when they are not in “entertainer” mode or “host” mode and are just being them, love it!
This was really a great video. Now I’m even more excited to see what else they do with the vlog format.
Chipmunk had to have been a cop right?
I really enjoyed it too! Love seeing captured moments of their friendship! Although I am still saddened about the loss of LTAT, I love Stevie
I thought this first blog was great and highly amusing! A peek at Link’s house (damn I want his interior designer), naked angry Rhett, Link getting angry at an umbrella, random Chipmunk neighbor - it all totally met my expectations and I am so here for it!! Can’t wait for the next one! 😂
Already re-watched it a few times. Love it! It feels so much more personal like we have an even more closer connection to R&L. I'd say it's one of the best things they've come up with in a while. I can't wait to see what the future holds for these vlogs.
I LOVED this! It felt natural and genuinely funny.
