I love that Zach was able to get his therapeutic adventures written off as a business expense. He's doing it right
Yes but he is also kinda promoting something that isn't really good :/
@@CatDaddy. What is he promoting that isn't good? I am unaware
Except that this is kind of overkill and probably no longer therapeutic at these numbers.
@@CatDaddy.what? They literally said in the video that you shouldn’t try this at home
@@johanna3784 Yes, you shouldnt try a 1000 needles and you shouldnt do acupuncture without professionals. However with the help of professionals it's completely safe. It stimulates the nervous system and the body's natural healing abilities and promote physical and emotional well-being. It's been researched that acupuncture can help with back, neck or knee pain, etc.
I feel like just counting 1000 needles is challenging enough
That's why you open a fresh box... so you don't have to actually count.
I counted to 1000 once when I was 9. It's a vivid memory for some reason, when really it was just the drive to my grandparents' house for a normal day lol
@@UlvdronningI used to count as high as I could while on long drives as a kid 😂 that was a memory trigger
They are probably counted by weight lol
Loooools too tru
Get yourself a homie who'll scratch your nose while 400 needles collectively are in your hands 💪
That moment was so wholesome
*600 😂
Wait YASS 😂
That level of vulnerability
Zach just be CARRYING this whole channel on his back lately.
He is Atlas🎉
Sometimes literally
that's why he's so stiff in his spine
I do get the impression the Try Guys have run out of ideas/are coming to an end 😬
He's the most boring one though 😢
Jonathan walking away from that last joke, shaking his head in disappointment, while the poor acupuncturist is like, "My mom is laughing at that joke, why."
My fav moment
She knows what's up lmao
love the energy kwesi brings, him and zach really bounce off of eachother so well. Also kwesis reactions to the two he got put in is so funny
They are both weird in a funny way 😂
kwesi's energy is indeed awesome, contagious almost. has my vote to become the next try guy
I loved when he scratched Zach's nose, "we're really good friends, huh!?"
They both have great positivity, it's a joy to see.
Kwesi should be the official 4th guy.
seriously i love him
Kwesi being there as a reaction specialist is exactly what kwesi needs to do as an official profession
0:31 - "I hit my out-of-pocket insurance maximum this year cuz of the ole' glass-in-the-leg situation, so I've been going to get acupuncture twice a week." Sentences that are so Millennial, it hurts.
very American, too!
And also a wedding.
Unrelated but I love the energy of the acupuncturists, they’re joking around with Zach and Kwesi but they also have very soothing presences and explained the science in an easily understandable way
Like I wish more medical professionals made me feel that relaxed
Totally! I can listen to them all day.
@@rose4297gotta say that this is not science, so it's easy to explain. I agree that healthcare professionals should also more be trained to make you feel seen, but that requires more money
@@RedstonerD There's plenty of studies on acupuncture, and many of them are free to access! If you don't mind the recommendation, I find the impact on the Vagus nerve particularly exciting.
it’s pseudoscience. literally using scientific language wrong. the most that acupuncture does with pain falls in line with the pain gate theory. essentially, what zach said about not feeling his chronic pain bc his brain is focused on the new sensation of the needles being placed
@@fearneperez3714 zach made a video with Dr. Mike where he discusses the difficulties of studying accupuncture because you can't really have a placebo to compare it to
Kwesi's random forehead needle just reminds me of something that happened when I was little. My mom was seeing an acupuncturist for back pain, and my sister and I were in the same room. I was suffering from allergies, so I kept sniffling. Apparently I was really bugging the acupuncturist, so he asked if he could stab me. My mom assented, and then he poked one needle on head. Immediately stopped sniffling, and my sinuses cleared up. Then I started bugging my mom if I could see himacupuncturist
Veronica should be an ASMRtist, her voice was so soft and idk if it was her tone but I was getting tingles lol
omg same!
thought i was the only one lmao
I feel you bro, and she pretty too
Off topic but totally agree
The way she talks reminds me of TingTing!
Fyi the record that Kwesi mentions of over 2,000 acupuncture needles was all in the head not the entire body like what Zach is doing😮
“Hey look at that, we’re the same!” - Kwesi with 1 needle and Zach with 469 needles.
Next episode; how to remove 1000 acupuncture needles using an MRI machine
this common wasn't all that funny up until the MRI machine bit. that mental image has me HOWLING
Jesus Christ 😂😭 LMAOOO
I’m torn between the image of all the needles coming off at once and wondering how many might get pulled through his body 😳
Omg that is terrifying
The acupuncture needles are so thin and flexible you can press down on one and it will bend against the pressure rather then stick into your skin. Hence the little "tube" for applying them.
Wish I saw this comment earlier; when he stood up, I got nervous that he'd bump into something by accident and push the needles further into his skin 😭😂
*than
I want to know how Zach felt after all the needles were taken out. Any pain relief/relaxation afterwards?
Was wondering the same thing. Been wanting to try and if this works it might be worth it.
I've done accupuncture before, I haven't felt pain afterwards. There is a relaxation to it.
@xmayoburkex be careful of placebo! And/or if they ask u to come back very often
@@xmayoburkexit definitely depends on the reason for getting it 😊 there are sort of acupuncture. The original traditional Chinese acupuncture which is what they were doing here, where they put the needles in one part of the body and it treats another. And then there's the more anatomical one which a physiotherapist might do(which I get for back pain from muscle spasms) this is where they but the needles deeper directly into the problem area which loosens the muscle and increases blood flow to help healing. Then with massage after I find it incredibly helpful! And on the whole, you can't feel them. Only every now and then can you maybe feel one in a tight muscle. It's very relaxing!
I've even heard of a tens machine being added to needles in the second type but I haven't had it 😊
@@CatDaddy. The placebo effect is still helpful!
when choosing the thumbnail
Rachel: Zach, you wanna make it attention grabbing, scary or nightmare inducing?
Zach: Yes
“So you’re gonna do the reactions for me”
“It’s gonna be a whole bunch of smiles”
I just doubled over in wholesomeness?? Didn’t know that reaction was possible
Petition for Kwesi to be the "Fly Guy" instead of a "Try Guy" (because he is a man of his own level lol)
I love how the mom immediately jumped to yes of course when Zach asked if they could make him more beautiful. Soooo sweet!
i love zack doing exploration of any type health specialty, such as this, mental health, chronic pain, or disability! makes me feel seen and awesome to see that being represented through the perspective of someone who also shares chronic pain like i do.
I love these medical try videos but we miss the after it’s done stuff and the how do you feel a week later, a day later, or more time.
Yeah follow up video would be nice or even just a 5 minute interview going over how they felt any changes they noticed etc
The thumbnail is terrifying
It's giving _Pinhead_ with a pinch of SAW. 💁🏻♀️✨️
Kwesi laughs like a joyful cartoon bear and i love him so much
And once again Zach & Kwesi do something wild & wacky… love these two 😂
Its notoriously challenging to be a licensed acupuncturist in California. The regulations are stiff. We can support these practitioners and their habits, even if this an extreme demonstration for viewing purposes ☺️
For all concerned about sanitation, they do swab with 70% alcohol (standard medical practice) before inserting needles into the skin. Its probably just not shown on camera. You can see a clip of a swab when they did head points on a sound guy!
Further, its up the the practitioner if they wear gloves since the risk of blood-borne pathogens is lower than other professions (but not impossible). If you wear gloves with one patient, you have to wear them with all patients.
All needles are single use and come packaged in sterile wrappings. These are standardized and only can be purchased by licensed practitioners and students (in Canada anyways).
Acupuncture is a 3-4 year program with biomedical sciences and eastern medicine components. Physios and other "medical acupuncturists" take continued education courses that are about 1/4-1/3 of the time of acupuncture programs.
As always, continue to do your research! Find licensed professionals with qualified education. Each practitioner has a different vibe but all should be practicing based on their locations standards.
A great resource is your state/provincial regulatory body for acupuncture; they are responsible for protecting the patients, not the practitioners.
Love all this information! Thanks for taking the time to share :)
Would not recommend if your body is hypersensitive or proned to keloids. My whole shoulders and chest developed a bunch from doing so. 😔 living with it for 10+ years and it’s mad annoying. (Yep I’ve seen plenty of dermatologists in that time)
Thanks for sharing this. I wanted to do this but I'm keloidal.
Thanks! Was wondering if it was safe for people with keloids.
always wanted this for nerve damage on a fracture scar area that keloided, tysm for warning us 😮
I can’t explain it but I feel like they don’t want me to try this at home
😂
😂
Both Zach and I said "I'm sorry WHAT" When she said that they could put acupuncture needles THROUGH the ankles
There is a Korean Englishman video where a needle was put thru Rev. Chris neck! So I'm not surprised about the ankle.
@@jmason1770I saw that!! I’ve never been able to find an explanation for how that didn’t kill him 😳😳 I also saw a kdrama where he puts one through a wrist. HOW
Kwasi being in a video increases it’s enjoyability by atleast 2x
You could’ve named it “Zach Becomes Hellraiser”
Thank you, I came here to the comments looking for Cenobite jokes.
I would have loved to hear about how he felt in the following hours
Zach said no no hole and i burst out laughing, then i almost dropped my coffee when he added everything else is fair game Oh My God!!🤣🤣🤣
“There’s gonna be a whole bunch of smiles” HOW WHOLESOME CAN YOU BE
I wanted to watch them take all the needles out 🥺
I was in a car accident, nearly head on. Both airbags activated, my car was totaled. I had whiplash, my patella was bruised, and I jammed my right hand somehow. I found a great chiropractor who fixed my neck and lifetime back issues. When I complained about the hand/forearm pain, he recommended acupuncture, which he was also certified in. It was painless but I would have a buzzing feeling after the session for several hours. Then the hair on that arm would stand straight up. The fourth session it felt like bees were stinging my whole hand. But after I managed to get some sleep, the feeling was gone and so was the pain. Permanently. Magic.
Zac just embracing the scary sleep demon energy justmakes me HAPPY😊
I’m glad Zach is taking care of himself more these days, it shows and he looks so healthy!
I would love a follow up as to how Zach get after!!
‘How many needles do you want’
Zach: ‘yes’
I've tried acupuncture with two different providers. The one that actually helped me was this nice, older Chinese woman who had been an emergency room doctor before coming to the US. Maybe it was more placebo effect than her being better at it - I put much more stock in someone who understood and had practiced Western medicine saying they could help me than the kind of wishy-washy first one that talked about group acupuncture feeding off of each other's energy. Even with her, though, I just felt like I slept better after it. It didn't help with pain relief, but I was only in town for a few weeks. Maybe that just wasn't enough time. Sleeping better was definitely welcome, though!
I have ADHD and suffer from severe insomnia, constant overthinking, hyperactivity and sensory issues. I tried facial acupuncture (NADA therapy) and at first I was like "where did the million thoughts go?! Where are all the noises?! Why is my body so calm?!" A few minutes later there was no thoughts at all and felt super calm and I had NEVER experienced that before. My mind was literally too calm to be blown! I highly recommend it!
I like how the acupuncture docs are just so unhinged in the slightest way
like casually offering to stab the try team with needles
kwesi and zach have quickly become one of my fave duos of the channel
“You know when I got here I was aware of my achy body. I would say I’m no longer aware of it” really good line from Zach 😂
Zach is doing the absolute most for this channel and I am here for it.
I love these acupuncturists and I love when Zach does these. Also if Kwesi makes merch that says I’m sweating or just make it a soundboard effect, imma love it. Imma buy that merch. I sweat too kwesi 😂
Kwesi was SO immediately onboard at the idea of putting 4000 needles in Zach just to win a world record 😂 as expected tbh. I imagine Zach asking "hey do you want to react to a bunch of needles poking into me" and Kwesi going "say no more, tell me when" peak friendship
I am just surprised no needles feel out when Zach stood up. However the acupuncturists were very down to earth which created a good balance to the video!
ngl I also would have loved to see the process of removed all of them. See how many little teeny blood dots he ended up with. Whenever I got acupuncture my face would ALWAYS bleed. Obviously not a lot, but just like a couple drops and I'd be driving home with a few random little spots on my face.
Would love a behind the scenes for this. The whole vibe of the acupuncturists interacting with everyone was so good. Would love to see what had to get cut for video time
I love Zach’s videos! Acupuncture and beekeeping are two things I’ve been kinda scared of, so it’s nice to been nice to see more about them
have you... watched Hannibal? If uou haven't, don't
Kwesi looks like he glitched when they put that second needle in 😂. Just frozen.
"We're REALLY good friends, huh?" 😂
Kwesi was the perfect choice for this video 😂
can't wait to see zach's audition tape for sonic the hedgehog
Acupuncture made my arm and neck spasm for 2 days. This was after having it for months with no problems. Not having it again 😅
*opens the video*
*sees Kwesi there*
Oh it's gonna be a good one
I really like kwesi's energy. I hope he becomes a regular but I understand that he's in school to be a pilot, am I right?
Between the treating infertility claim and the ‘your ear being firm means your lower back is tight’…. Big yikes. Claims like these without a notation that they are not substantiated is so dangerous!
agreed!!
I’m also a bit perturbed by the fact that there’s no gloves being used and we don’t see any sterilizing of the skin. Your skin is your first line of defence and creating all of these new holes without sterilization is just asking for infections!!
Yes!
Yes! You'd think they'd learn from the ice bath video debacle.
Yuppppp
The part with Kwesi helping Zach scratch his nose was SO funny. “Wow, we’re REALLY good friends, huh”
Zach and Kwesi are such a funny duo, and now i really want to try acupuncture!
I so wanted to see Eugene do this again because when he did it the last time he was like Lin from Legend of Korra; so much upset during the process but came out refreshed 😌
Thank you for posting on my birthday!! Needed the laughs ❤
as a type one diabetic, I deal with needles every day. multiple times a day. this,,,,, this was too much lol.
I love how Kwesi was affected by Zach getting acupuncture 😂 I love what he brings to videos
I loved this video. It would be great to see a video with Zack, Keith, Eugene, and Kwesi all together.
I would watch Zach with a side of Kwesi all the time. Eugene and Keith are great, but Zach is a gem!
Zach's head looks like the coronavirus.
kwesi just touching ears are hilarious
It's the only thing that helped with my chronic pain. Love it!
I love Kwesis' energy so much, hes just up for anything no matter what
Having felt related to Zach since the beginning (yee, I was team green before there were colors and it was buzzfeed and he was still typed into being the failing underdog - we both actually kinda thrived and did a full 180 in that sense too),
but seeing him take the company more into -admittedly- 'his' direction/interests is TOP TIER. Hippie stoner voodoo-woodoo life is full of mystery and energy and fun and awe, with the actual production value and educational sense + expertise that the company brings, this is truly my favorite era of Try Guys and I didn't expect that.
Missing Keith, and we all miss Eugene, but I'm content man and I hope yall are too.
I love Kwesi's energy
This was cool! I do acupuncture as a treatment of mine for my mental health, carpal tunnel, and pain. It’s amazing how it helps!!! Thanks for sharing
The forehead one they did on Kwesi does wild things to me. Like it makes me high lol it's so cool. Great video!
Kwesi was so terrified when they put the needle in his ear oml
Zach saying “What an oopsie doopsie” had me in tears!
When the lady started talking about the cosmetic accupuncture i was thinking she prolly has it cause she is GORGEOUS
Zach looks so much more muscular than a few years ago! Looking good!
Cannot believe they robbed me of seeing all the needles removed
For those of you asking, “who would try this at home?” Albert Fish is the man you are looking for
I love crazy much! His energy in the video, just makes me smile 😂
Zach out here doing all his weird/crazy ideas. Love this for his journey! 💁🏻♀️😂
Kwesi is like sure Zack I’ll get one needle 😂
I absolutely adore the fact Zach had some moments where he felt free of pain. YES GO ZACH
Omg I’m loving kwesi’s facial expressions
My poor husband was watching this with me until he saw the needles. Then he freaked out& left. Now he's back & I'm telling on him. He's dying just watching via YT 😂. I get stuck all the time for health issues. I'm at the lab every 3 weeks, so it doesn't even phase me. Cool video. Love seeing these gorgeous ladies poke poor Zach. I may look into finding acupuncturists near me. I have tons of medical issues. I was just in the hospital last night. So this might be an avenue for me. Thanks, guys, for sharing this. I'm super curious now 😁👍💕
Saying that acupuncture can cure infertility is really something...
Yeeeeeah. They are promising way too much stuff.
Accupuncture does help with pain, but they are talking so much shit lmao. Upside down human baby ear? What? This video needs a heavy [citation needed] check
@@juulvandijk5041 Yeah they lost me there, there's definitely compelling reason to think acupuncture can help with pain issues and stress, but I don't see enough people in the comments discussing some of the more batshit insane claims. 😭 Not knocking nontraditional medicine, but infertility? Saying your ear is somehow connected to your back/neck pain? Come on.
They didn't say it could CURE it, just treat it.
@juulvandijk5041 Pretty sure it's just a metaphor about how the ear is a gateway to treat various parts all over the body lol but it sure was phrased oddly. Old medical practices are full of metaphors
Zach standing up and sort of swaying artistically, he looks like a ballerina hedgehog. Very cool!
Rachel's reaction to the pic on Kwesi's phone is 🔥🔥🔥
How did they not show the end?? I wanted to see how he felt after!! I love acupuncture but never had anything like this! My favorite is getting the forehead needle like Kwesi and one in the top of my head. I can literally feel like electricity traveling between the points! So crazy. Also I love the needles in the ear. Super effective for me 👂
Kwesi is literally me watching this... worried and going please be careful Zach, we trust these acupuncturists but why and then questioning why I’m continuing to watch? 😂
I love Kwesi's energy!
Jonathan at the end like "i'ma head out" 🤣
Your the man zac 😂your one of my faves on try guys your always will to try anything evenbwhen your nervous to an your buddy hanging out with u .
Kwesi is a Try Guy he Tried to pick Zach's nose 😂❤
“What’s sounds like pain, looks like pain, but isn’t?”
:
Gosh I love Zach so much, he embodies everything i wanna be in life
i love the idea of bringing kwesi here and him hating needles.
