without a recipe meatloaf starring geologist friend from clown motel is something that needs to happen
That or at least have him back as a judge !
yesssss
I think that Guy is too busy but that's a cute Idea
YESS LETS MAKE IT HAPPEN
Right?! Like they aren’t getting away without doing a without a recipe meatloaf now
Someone tell me why I'm getting emotional over a clown motel.
I love Zach's ability/willingness to talk to other people and learn their story without asking super invasive questions. Just "Why do you like clowns?" and suddenly you're helping a geologist move rooms because there's no AC and he loves staying at the motel because the beds are comfortable and he has a wife that loves meatloaf. It's so funny and unexpectedly wholesome, especially when a lot of content creators are farming for the most shocking content. And here's Zach meeting people where they are, and it's great because people are largely very interesting if you ask the right questions! I love this!!!
same I just really love the way this video portrays this place that is made out to be creepy be so full of love and warmth.
and Zach's narration and his overall vibe in this video is just really lovely.
this is such a good way of describing why the vibes on this channel feel so immaculate compared to many other content channels
its so authentic. theres no pressure to find the most entertaining or chocking content, they treat everyone like theyre human. its so genuine and nice :’)
Plus, the people he and Kwesi found are just awesome.
12:43 WITHOUT A RECIPE MEATLOAF
I love that Shayne and Ryan are considered “the professionals” 😂
they are definitely the most serious and thorough who try for intelligent proof out of all the youtube investigators by far
@@-streaminadream-5356serious!??? 😂 Ryan was barking like a dog last week. I do love them.
@@ArtemisArcheress the barking took me back to one of their last (possibly their last) unsolved video where ryan and shane crawled up the stairs meowing and pretending to be cats.
I love them but their not professionals nor the best in that TH-cam realm for me
I want ryan and shane collab with try guys in ghost finding journey. Plsss
Honestly I wanna see more videos where Zach goes to supposedly haunted place and does everything he can to not make it a ghost hunting video 🤣
This is the way 😂
Yessss new series!
I want him doing it at a place where shane and ryan are actively ghost hunting
@@user-jf2ex6fv7j like last week's tripod where they crash the Cheesecake Factory in the middle of Keoth filming part 2? 😂🧍♂️
@@user-jf2ex6fv7j "This spirit has been described as a pale moaning figure, often accompanied by a fog that has been described as smelling of burning leaves. Visitors and mediums often point out his very attractive legs, especially his quote unquote "hot ankles".
Cut to Zach smoking weed and complaining about his ankylosing spondylitis at 3 AM in the morning.
I love geologists, they always get themselves into funny situations to go look at their rocks and minerals. Regularly staying at a clown motel because the beds are good and close to where they're studying is on par with every geologist I've met
fr out of all the scientists, theyre definitely the nerdiest but most fun to be around
@athaya2992 LMAO speaking as a chemist, I agree 😂 I'm so tired of my peers, all of us have sticks up our 🍑 lololol
I consider being a geologist such a dating green flag LOL. They just seem different. Geologists hmu let's be friends lol
I was on a geology fieldtrip in the area and our lecturers almost had to stay there because their jeep broke down lmao
As someone whose mother became a clown to cope with bereavement and who lived in an actual clown house, this is too relatable.
WHAT. Please elaborate, because that sounds crazy. (I hope she's okay though)
You should write a story/personal essay about that. Call it "Send in the clowns"
So sorry for you guys's lost💔 Prayers and condolences to them and all your families,friends and loved ones❤ Praying for your mom, hope she's safe and okay❤
@@julesoxana she is! It is actually one of those grim/ funny stories, you know?
omg please explain
Christopher is such a sweetheart his passion is so infectious😭
I was thinking the same🥲he seems like he sees the good side of everything
I happy teared up at his section at the end too 🥺
Omg yes!
I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: Zach is a phenomenal story teller. He knows how to make you feel things. Over a clown motel in the desert!
1:59 Love that Zach essentially challenged Ryan and Shane to investigate the Clown Motel. Get on it, Ghoul Boys 🤡👻
When I saw the title my first thought was to wonder how long it would take to mention the Ghoul Boys XD
Didn't Ryan say one of his worst fears was waking up to see someone staring at him in the dark?
@@Ambeanianceapparently about 2 minutes😂😂
I would love this as a series. Zach and Kwesi checking out unique places and interviewing random people at them.
Omg yes! Next should be Area 51 but getting to know the culture behind the creepy. I love learning about interesting and unique history or places like this
Same. I'd watch that series for sure.
Same!!
Yes 💯💯💯
he said this is part of a new series
What a wide range of patrons! An ex firefighter, a geologist, ravers etc. it’s so beautiful to see
so cool that they chatted to so many people during the trip and were just curious about their lives in such a kind, respectful way
Well I certainly learned about some new shots 😮
Christopher deserves more compliments in these comments!!! "You're a cool human being" "I try to be" was so sincere, he seems like an all around sweetheart ❤
LOLLL the entire time i was saying how much i love Christopher
He reminds me of Murdoch from the A Team too! Loved the character and the real Christopher’s personality too.
The geologist guy seemed delightful, meatloaf is a fun idea!
Agreed! Meatloaf is such a good idea! I think they could do a season of comfort foods!😊
YES! I was like "omg what if they got Meatloaf to judge?!" and then I remembered 😔 RIP Marvin Lee Aday 1947-2022
please do meatloaf! for the geologist and us!
This idea would be amazing if they brought Eugene back in to participate. I can only imagine what his mind would come up with.
I never had meatloaf. What does it taste like?
Zack just going weird places and making weird friends is the most chaotic extrovert vibes I’ve seen in a long time and I love it.
Can I just say Christopher’s story and the owners story is honestly beautiful! Like Christopher just wanting to make people happy and bring people joy, and the owners working with his struggles so that he can do that and have stable living, and the owners using something they love to bring others joy and bring people smiles. These 3 men are honestly what all humanity should strive to be
I love how this is way more in-depth than just "We went to a clown motel. Here's some footage of our hijinx". You chatted with people, dug into the motel further, toured rooms, chatted with the owners. Really well done, Kwesi and Zach!
That's what I loved about this. Hearing about people and history.
This was honestly just super wholesome. It goes to show that a lot of “creepy” or “macabre” or “unusual” interests can come from the kindest people.
Ya hit the nail on the head! I collect oddities and "creepy/macabre/spooky" things as do many of my friends. We all look super alternative and "scary" to some (one friend has his eyes tattooed black and horn implants!) but they are THE NICEST, WARMEST, MOST DOWN TO EARTH, ACCEPTING PEOPLE YOU WILL EVER MEET 😭💖💖💖💖💖
It's so true! The people who are most into horror and the macabre are extremely wholesome people, a prime example being Junji Ito--he was scwred of cats, so both to explore that and quench his fear he drew them often, especially in his mangas, and eventually came to appreciate them despite his fear. Because we can find joy in the darkness of things, and therefore darkness in everything, we have no trouble finding the light in everything too
Zach is such a great storyteller. He connects to people. Atlas Obscura needs to sponsor this series.
YES!! This!!
I swear Zach is meant to make content that changes peoples perspectives. Personal Message to Zach: I hope everything is going okay mentally and physically with all the terrible stuff on media right now. Take care of yourself.
Oh no!! What's going on with him in the media? Am I just not aware of something??
I think they're referring to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict@@danielleisraelsen
@@danielleisraelsenThey are referring to the war in palestine, news of which has been especially emotionally painful to palestinians and jewish people across the globe for various reasons.
Zach is Jewish and there is a lot of awful things going on in Palestine that is being perpetrated by Israel. Jewish and Palestinian people around the world have are going through an incredibly tough time. I recommend you look into what's happening. @@danielleisraelsen
you can really tell how much christopher enjoys his job just by listening to him give zach and kwesi a tour and the way he tells his stories. listening to him was so precious
This is absolutely one of my favorite videos the try guys have done. It was such an interesting thing to go to what is seen as a scary place and instead focus on the people there. Zach and Kwesi found wonderful people who were passionate about clowns, meatloaf, and rocks. We learned about Christopher's life and how he ended up working in a place that actually meets his needs. I'll definitely rewatch this again and again.
Me too. Absolutely up there in top 3.
simple but effective storytelling with just great vibes
This might be my favorite Try Guys episode ever. The organic meets, the interview style... side quests for the win!
I LOVE this format. Zach is so good at rolling with weirdness and bringing out the charm in people, like that geologist and Christopher are such delightful characters. If this is an ongoing series I'm stoked, and I've got some hometown weirdness for you to get down with!
This video is actually shockingly touching. The fact that you took the time to see the humanity in the people at this place is quite moving. Kwesi and Zach are a super wholesome duo.
I love how the main focus wasn't on the paranormal side or the ghost hunting side but rather on the history of the hotel, and them talking to the owners and coming back from the experience knowing the place was kept maintained because the place was made from a place of love and passion.
so wholesome! first seeing kwesi's adorable wife?!?! and then the man who's at the clown hotel because it has comfy beds? who loves meatloaf? to the owners who are like 'what profit?'
loved all of this so so so much.
I'm actually obsessed with Zach's production style its so incredible
Came for the clowns stayed for Zach explaining to a chill geologist what a TH-camr is 😂
"Should we tell them that we're here to hurt them, will that make them-"
"No."
"We're here to hurt you!" I see Zach went to the Shane Madej school of ghost hunting to pick up on his technique
That's what I thought too, he learned from Shane
you can really see zack's passion for making movies and telling stories in this. this is truly beautiful, definitely one of my new favorites videos now ❤️
This has to be the best Try Guys video ever. The people you met were like people you'd only meet once in your lifetime. And totally the people who would love this hotel. I love this. It's so chaotic.
I love Zach’s approach to documentary style videos. This was an absolute delight
Wow. Great work. I am very proud of Zack for making such a documentary. It’s been awesome seeing his evolution since Try Guys were on BuzzFeed. Especially to see the addition Kwesi, the POC voice and ideas that was missing. Also, it was very emotional Lee thoughtful. Thank you for adding to the space.
He approaches subjects with such a delightful openness. Is it corny to say he's developing as a director? MORE PLEASE!
Kwesi wife is too sweet and adorable! She protects him in spirit and in life 🤣 I bet this isn't the first time she had to use that holy water with these adventures with Zach lol
I was expecting a ghost hunters like show.
I appreciate the... documentary, humanitarian, story telling about people. Thats really cool. It made me smile.
Thanks Zach and Kwesi, I'd love to see more like this.
I love that Kwesi was silently laughing behind the camera that it's shaking 😂
i love it when zach gets to direct videos, he has such a unique and appealing style
Yes!! I feel like ppl sleep on his videos because they’re not the usual kind of directing but he makes my fave videos
yeah i really like the videos he has complete creative control over. his NYC video is one of my favorites. his directive style reminds me a bit of Yes Theory in the way that he likes to highlight people and what makes them unique. i'm sure they take a while to film, but i'd love to see more stuff like this on the channel.
YES!
100%, his videos feel the most polished and deep. I would love a series where Zach does more of this and what he did in NYC. TRY guys content is always fun but I feel like Zach’s content specifically tries to make you think a little deeper.
So true!
Videos like this exemplify why the current cast, and thus current and future projects, are so likeable and feel good. Keith or Eugene could have also made their own versions of this project that while different, would still have the overarching openness to the experience. All three are able to take people as they are and have sincere moments and genuine interest with all walks of life. There were previous times where over the top antics and blatant smugness were palpable. I am so happy and excited for the future of the Try Guys and 2nd Try.
i have such appreciation for this. it really comes across in all their videos.
Zach interviewing real people is the best thing ever.
Zach’s documentary style videos and commentary are so great and his research going in shows his level of commitment
My kids and I stayed at the Clown Motel in June of this year. We were only the third people to stay in the Fear Unlimited room (107) and we got a free coffee mug for making it through the night! Vijay was working the front desk when we got there, and what a guy. He was such a lovely person, so passionate about the motel, and just the kindest man. We made some amazing memories there!! ❤️
Courtney's holy oil and Kwesi's "one of us, one of us!" Are SENDING me
I want more about this place. Christopher seems like a delight, he was a FIREFIGHTER so one of the best people to exist job-wise, and he has a fun clown-like laugh. He needs to be in more things. I adore him.
Christopher is such a sweet guy. I hope things are always improving for him
I hope Side Quests becomes a whole series! I love the genuine and open exploration of this place and the people who care about it without trying to be sensationalist.
the amount of "behind the scenes" moments in this truly turned this into exploring the nature of humans attracted to highly unique situations as opposed to just being about the motel and I loved it.
Christopher is so sweet. This whole video is amazing. Honestly made me cry a little.
Ahhh! Side Quest feels like a series this channel has been missing! can't wait to see more
Zach truly has a way with filming. Turning a mundane clown motel into something that we can all resonate with. It’s just a little slice of real life that a lot of people don’t know how to capture without being cheesy. Well done man ❤
I love that people like Christopher and the geologist still exist. 🤣 The meatloaf WAR idea is a great one!
it surprised me how sincere this video felt??? and i love how you met so many interesting people!
Please put “don’t haunt me until I’ve had my coffee” on merch 🤣
as someone who's been with The Boys since before they started their group channel, it's so insane to see how popular they've gotten to where even the Try Guys are recognizing and praising them
so trueeeee. i did not expect the crossover
They’re friends from the Buzzfeed days! The Boys’ episode of the Try Pod was super interesting if you haven’t watched/listened!
Am I missing something or are you referring to Shane Madej and Ryan Bergara? Cos i don’t think The Boys have interacted with the Try Guys yet, but idk.
The Boys that was referenced in this are the group of 5 men who met thru VR chat and are visiting haunted houses and stuff.
If they do, would you mind telling me the episode number of the Trypod? Thanks!
@@marilee2099 I was basically just referring to how Zach referenced the original VR group bc of their video on this place at the beginning. I'm pretty sure they've never actually met but I could be wrong
@@meleah4747 Apparently The Boys is a specific group of youtubers, it's not the Ghoul Boys/Watcher Boys, who I think you're referring to.
The people demand more Mrs. Kwesi.
Here here!
yes!!
“Whenever you’re down look at the clown you don’t have to be frown” how adorable!!!!
Why is Kwesi not an official Try Guy? He's such a great addition to the group!
I think it they are trying to drop the being a try guys and more like being part of the try guy team.
I think the Try Guys will forever be a thing just for the OG members, but instead of having just three people on the channel, it’s a whole team behind them. Without them being “official Try Guys”.
Love this idea although I've always thought Try Guys would be better as three.. as in.. Tri.. Guys 😂
I love this video format. Zach does the pseudo-conspiracy documentary style so well.
i'm loving this!! great vibes right from the start
Zach and Kwesi adventures always make my day brighter 😂
The second I started watching the merman video I was hoping there would be more videos with this duo!!! Kwesi and Zach have a great youthful/fun energy
@@vickrice6082 that was a beautiful episode they both looked hot 🥵🤣 and yeah I just love their crazy adventures together 🤣
They have the best "let's do it" energy.
@@nancythomas5387 Yes they do 😁
A Zach and narrated road trip vlog is actually so comforting
Kwesi’s wife keeping the evil spirits away. I love it
Have the Try Guys ever tried ghost hunting? I would love to see that. Maybe bring Ryan and Shane?
try guys try ghost hunting but it's just a weirder / even more hilarious episode of ghost files would be hilarious to watch
Bring on Sam and Colby
I would pay money to see them team up with Ryan and Shane on Ghost Files! Maybe they can all go to the Sally House together? 😂
Well, there was *The Try Guys Sleep In A Fan's Haunted Bedroom.* Probably not quite what you had in mind.
This!! Eugene would actually be there 😂
Zach is officially the bravest Try Guy now
This video was such a delight? USA is full of super quirky places like this and Zach was the perfect host/presenter. ❤ loved Kwesi's wife begging him to protect Kwesi on this weirs trip 😂
My boyfriend and I stayed here, and everyone told us we were crazy! My boyfriend swears he woke up in the night to a dark figure at the end of our bed, but I slept like a baby.
Update: our room did not look like theirs haha. We just had creepy renditions of presidents as clowns for artwork
This was so intoxicatingly wholesome From the Brothers running the place to the grounds guy and the man who found the love of his life at a karaoke bar lol. My heart is going to be full all day!
Love the joke about defering the haunted aspect to the professionals. Shane and Ryan.
Yes! 😁
Christopher is just having a great time. I love seeing people who have found their ‘thing’ in life, and he was so open to share. Everyone in this video seemed so accommodating too!
I absolutely love this kind of video series!! The casual interviewing and just getting to know people and sharing their stories, this is the kind of stuff that inspires me to continue with cinematography and video production! Love this and I hope it becomes a series!!!
I enjoy Zach's Style of Videomaking so much!
This was so unexpectly wholesome. I appreciate how respectful this interesting hotel was treated in this video.
Zach is such a nice dude that he helps a stranger move rooms in the middle of making a video. Keep it up boys, love Kwesi and Johnny as additions to the team!
This comment is specifically for Zach. This sir, is easily my most favorite video that you’ve ever made. I hope there will be more of these bc you were absolutely in your bag. The documentary style with humor and heart. Chefs kiss my friend. 5 stars hands down. 🙌🏾💫🤩
Start a petition to get Ryan and Shayne to the Clown Motel
1:58 had me sincerely smiling so much, them throwing up a picture of Ryan and Shane after talking about ghost hunting Professionals
Yes I love it too!😁
The clownery? The guests? The energy? Sensational
I love Zach's little documentary style videos, he has such a unique perspective and voice. so quirky and endearing.
You should do a geology video with that geologist dude, he seems super chill.
Kwesi’s wife walking him out of the house for a lil trip was so unintentionally cute lol
I love these kinds of mini docs of "weird" stuff and places. I hope this becomes a series.
Another side quest for you: the Seattle underground city. It's so cool. All of the downtown of Seattle burnt down once upon a time and instead of rebuilding it where it was, they rebuilt a story above with some wild side effects in the process of doing so. So there's this whole burned, Edwardian era underground city 15 feet below downtown Seattle. There's a tour company that has some sections of it, you know, tamed, but they only are in charge of a few sections. Even just their part is fascinating, but if you could get to see more that'd be SO COOL
I love this format!! I enjoyed the arc of "isn't this ridiculous" to "wait, everyone here is having a great time." Looking forward to more side quests!
This is such an amazing fucking video. I loved the history, I loved the focus placed on the people and how this place brings them happiness. It wasn't sensationalist, it was kind and tender and is probably one of my favorite Try Guys vids to date.
Kind and tender is absolutely the right word for this
Me too!
I love Christopher, he's so sweet and genuine. He seems like the type of guy who loves and cares for people no matter what, and I would love to be friends with him
Christopher looks like a really fun guy I would love to listen to him talking more about clowns
I’d love a series like this about odd roadside attractions! It is so fun and sweet. It felt refreshing to take a creepy place and just ask genuinely “why do you like it” to everyone.
I know this was like 2 seconds in the whole video, but the fact Zach called Ryan and Shane paranormal professionals made my day 😂 I love those ridiculous and always totally professional ghoul boys
omg pls ryan and shane take zach on a trip he seems like he wants to go
Firstly? This is a brilliant series. I’m so excited to see where it goes!
Secondly, Christopher might be the most interesting, kind person on this show
And Kwesi stomached this better than I thought he would
Everyone in this video was so sweet and Zach did such a good job showing their personalities! Also I've never seen such an entertaining ad 😂 good job keith!
The fact that my favorite part was the people you guys met, shows that there’s good people out there even if they seem a little spooky at first.
Courtney said out the gate, "You are absolutely not bringing any demons back with you. Get blessed." Better safe than sorry. lol
I love zach’s storytelling. I love the way his brain works and it is really inspiring, as i’m dipping my toes into filmmaking and exploring my creative side. Zach is one of the most underrated people on earth and deserves all the praise
these mini documentaries by zach (like the tombstone recipe one) are inspiring. i'd love a whole season of 'em
This was lovely! Thank you so much to Zak and the editors for choosing to center the human stories, it's just SO interesting to see how people characterize themselves within such a short time frame, the married couples and how they met and what they're up to recently. It's like a short film, a slice of life. I look forward to more of these "side quest" episodes, for sure! :D
Im partway through and i already love the focus on people and the QUALITY. A lot of youtubers goes to these types of places and run around screaming at nothing
Zach, this is a wonderful video. I loved the way you incorporated the HISTORY behind it, and how you showed the humanity of the people who created, maintained, and visited this hotel. This video felt caring, love it. Please make more of these.
I’m so pumped that Zach said this is the first of a new series, because I will happily watch Zach and Kwesi go on road trips and interview people and become friends with them all day.
I adore this video! Zach finds the humanity in everyone, and makes them shine. Zach is a gem , and I would love more videos like this!
And shout out to Christopher, the owners, and all the staff at that motel. Such cool people.
I could definitely watch more videos of Zach road-tripping. I love the way he listens to everyone’s stories and just goes along with whatever happens.
This video is just incredible. The genuine care, curiosity, and understanding Zach displays just makes me feel hopeful about the world. Anyone could have gone to the motel and made a video about how creepy and scary and weird they think it is, but Zach and Kwesi took the time to get to know the people that genuinely love it and showcased their love in a way that doesn't poke fun at them. I'd never heard of this place before today, but if I ever find myself needing to stay somewhere in Nevada, I won't hesitate to stay here. ❤
this was so much deeper and heartwarming than i expected!! love this series :)
I did not expect a video about a clown motel to make me a little teary eyed!! What an incredibly sweet video, love it :)
