for your life to be weirder.

- Everything we do, every video is already a,

this can only happen at Buzzfeed.

You're lucky if you catch one where we have clothes on.

The one I'm gonna speak about today

is already the most Only at Buzzfeed video we ever did.

Which was the Try Guys try Ancient Olympics.

We compete in the Ancient Olympics, naked,

as the Ancient Olympians did.

Let's start at the beginning.

We're shooting at the Getty Villa,

a beautiful museum of ancient Grecian artifacts.

We first want to try to let them have

us compete naked on their grounds.

This was out of the question because some

of our older donators don't want naked men

running around million dollar art.

Fine, whatever.

We only have a few days to shoot this,

you know, scheduling stuff is hard.

Also, any unscripted video can quickly fall to shit

because there's no script.

We find a place to shoot.

It is a nearby high school.

This is the summer, so nobody should be there.

We fill out some paperwork,

we have this check ready for them

and we show up on the day we agreed to show up

on the football field, and then

a day camp of 8 to 12 year old boys and girls

comes onto the football field.

Uh, we're naked in bathrobes in July.

Now we're like, uh, this isn't supposed to be happening.

No one should be here cause a bunch of grown men

are about to try to do the long jump, naked.

There's a guy who we were working with,

and we call him down and say hey,

what are all these kids doing?

He's like, well, we thought you

could only use half the field.

And we're like, we told you we'd be naked.

We had paperwork that specifically says

we're gonna be naked here.

He's like, well you can't they have this field.

I'm like, no, we have this field.

And I start getting very upset.

I say you need to get these kids to leave,

we had it first, he says that's not gonna happen,

you guys have to leave.

And there are, again, hundreds

of 8 to 12 year old children watching this happen.

At some point we concede defeat,

we go over, pick up our clothes off the ground,

and just carry them away with our camera equipment

to a car, but then the car is behind a gate

that we don't have the key to, so we're stuck

in this place and we're naked still.

And we're like, well do we put the clothes on?

No we can't put our clothes on because

there's children over there.

So we're sort of trapped on a high school campus,

naked, in a day camp with everyone mad at us.

So we rescheduled the shoot,

and we shot it on Buzzfeed grounds.

And only our coworkers had to, got to see us naked.

- It might have been like six months

into my Buzzfeed career.

Gosh, was it Daysha?

She was like (texting sounds)

hey Nick, how do you feel about wearing heels for a day?

I was like, I've done drag a couple times,

I'm like, I'm good, but I didn't wear it all day.

Also, this was in the summer too,

so it was like hot as (bleep).

And Daysha was like I'm gonna put these boys in some heels.

And we knew there was gonna be like

some sort of like fire alarm

like that week, but we didn't know the exact day.

So we're going about our day (typing sounds)

making interesting articles for you all to read,

and here we go, there's like people throwing (bleep)

all over the office, it's like earthquake!

And we have to go outside.

And these are not like two inch heels.

These are like heels like this.

Like, they're big ass heels.

We're walking, walking, walking,

like outside our office, and then they're like

oh you should like walk in the grass.

Girls have to do this all the time,

and I'm like, okay.

My ass was sinking in the damn grass like quicksand.

I'm sinking.

Then we had to walk to Jersey Mike's for lunch.

And people were honking at us,

like literally cat-calling us.

- Oh, and I don't like it at all.

- Thank you.

- First cat call! - Woot woot!

- I was like, wow, this is what

also you all have to go through.

Like, no one's cat calling me on a daily basis.

I'm wearing heels and y'all wanna cat call?

Okay.

I don't know, I obviously like didn't wear them all day.

I kind of cheated a few times.

I'm done.

This is my life right now.

Now you know why some girls take off their heels

and put 'em on their back.

That (bleep) is painful.

- I don't want to tell you about the time

my penis was on the internet, not yet.

There's a weird thing that happened when we were

preparing for our Try Guys strip show.

We decided to put on a strip show, how fun.

Not only were we doing a strip show,

we were doing a strip show in front of 200 people,

it was the first time that Buzzfeed

had ever done a live show, and so we were really nervous.

At this point, I'm used to being naked around my friends.

I'm not used to being naked in front of strangers.

You know, we're professionals,

we want to put on a good show.

We're gonna practice, we're gonna practice a lot.

At the time, Buzzfeed's main shooting space

was a hollowed out Big Lots.

It was a department store that we just gutted.

I called it the Catacombs.

It's like exposed brick everywhere

and like, just like the faint

dripping sound in the background.

So that's where we decided to practice our strip show.

We're four men in thongs, and Keith is wearing a horse head.

So it's a horse head and nothing else.

And then he strips it off, and

reveals that he's a beautiful man.

At this time, Ze, who is the President of the company

was giving a tour to Jonah, who is the CEO of Buzzfeed.

It was his first time in Los Angeles to see the new space.

So he was getting a tour of the whole complex

and we're like in the heat of practicing.

Like we're really going for it because like,

we only have like maybe like an hour to practice.

And then we have to go that night to perform.

We're dancing, and you know, we're slapping

and jumping around and writhing our body.

And we just hear a, Oh!

Oh, hi, hi.

I turn around and there is Jonah and Ze,

and they're just kinda looking around this creepy room.

I'm holding a light saber, and there's like a box

of like animal heads all over the place.

And like what weird sex dungeon

did these two just walk in to?

I don't think I'd ever met Jonah at that point.

And I was excited, so I said, oh hi, oh...

And I realized like what we were.

Unfortunately Keith couldn't see Jonah.

Keith who had a horse head on.

The three of us are frozen staring at my two bosses.

But Keith is dancing, and he's just going for it.

Now he's really, really going for it.

He's slapping and he's writhing

and then it ends with him ripping his shirt off.

He holds it and he's breathing heavy

cause he's, you know, we're not fit people.

Yeah, then I think Jonah just went, alright.

And he left.

You know, the things we do for videos.
