- Having made it back to Vegas safe and sound, VICE bails Taji out with some accommodation. And as your guide, it is his responsibility to find any opportunity to mingle with the locals, and he has a plan.
Taji has a blind date organized, and not only does he want to guarantee that she has the most special time imaginable, it’s a potential opportunity to recoup some of his lost funds. So Taji calls Quinn, a male escort for the Cowboys4Angels agency, for some help. Quinn puts Taji through his paces and helps him prepare for his date and hopefully, make a little cash.
To cover all bases, Taji calls in mind reader Alain Nu who observes the date from nearby and provides Taji with supernatural insight on what his date is thinking.

THE SPOON OF DESTINY
the ceo interrupting "stop saying invade their space" 😂😂😂
I’d hate to work for her lol
Loved this so much
It’s probably a good thing, god knows who would watch this and get the wrong idea about what he means. Some misguided youth might get the wrong idea and get weird.
at first I thought it was a pissed off crew member of vice trying to 'educate' the guy lol
@@24fretsoffury if they are already misguided and weird hearing invade their space in this context wont change them lmao
I got to meet Taji and he is just as nice as in the videos. It was at my chiropractor, we were chatting a little before he went in for his adjustment. I was curious if he'd hurt himself doing one of these videos and he said no, his back was sore from carrying Vice.
😂
Zingggg
AHAHAHA
the question everyone wants to know is was he awkward or hes just an amazing actor.
Was he awkward though?
This guy is the embodiment of “just go out and be yourself”. Love this guy and that blind date lmao
Hes the best! 🤣
He just doesn’t care about anything. We could all learn something from him
Alain’s head just sticking out of the bushes is so hilarious 😂😂😂
It really is 😭😭
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Like a meerkat 😂
#Epic comment... 😍
That smile
Damn, the CEO came out to make sure he was representing the company well. No wonder why he drew a blank on that word, he was under a lot of pressure.
The ceo made it awkward
"You cannot do that - legally". Most likely they're still nudged into it though
@@LiquidityThieves i mean he did literally say to ‘invade their space’ lmao she probably had to chime in to make sure he doesn’t make them sound seedy😂 I just love how Vice kept it in ahaha
She acted like he said rape the woman lol. Also CEO cracks me up because you know she probably manages like 8 total dudes. Big title for being a cock logistics handler
It wasn’t that he was representing the company well, it is that they operate in LV and actually all over the country so they can’t say anything that can make it seem like they have sex with clients.
At this point after watching One Star Reviews, Better Man and other stuff with Taji, I still can't figure out how much of it is scripted, feels like hilarious 90's comedy. If the blind date and most of it is was just "winging it", then hats off to him.
How disorienting would it be to see Taji acting normal and charming off camera? I think he’s socially anxious, but plays it up for the camera.
@@XDWASDX I don't think that he is THAT good of an actor 😂 Most likely he plays it up but still is very awkward off camera.
@@XDWASDX I've DM'd with him before and I won't lie he does give off f*ckboy energy.
YES!! he's a lot like "Nathan For You"... but Taji's videos feel a little less planned. Freaking love it!
@@avril14thlove whaaat no way, We gotta know a lil more lol
It’s hilarious that he asked her about payment for services this dude is fearless
I cant believe she agreed to second date after he asked for compensation! 🤣 wtf
Shes on camera...
@@ts3p86 just like OBVIOUSLY a normal date, no one would actually agree to give the jewelry and then let them walk away 🤣 but SHE KNOWS the cameras are there and she is ok...
I was rolling when she said no I’m not paying you lol
@@paint3ball I know her and that line was something she would say.
Man, Taji is such a great dude. You can tell that the people around him feel comfortable and relaxed almost no matter how weird things get.
@@boohere2good thing he has a job lmao
@@davidcarter4424 someone doesn't get it lmao
I cracked
Taji is a perfect combination of hilarious and cringey, which makes him a great fit for Vice
first and foremost he's an actor - I don't think he is actually cringey
@@krystianfeigenbaum238 is he an actor??
@@Uhhlaneuh I think he hams it up for the camera but it wouldn't surprise me if it's a close match to his character.
Or the office
Dear Vice, never lose Taji, it's one of your most valuable asset
Now that they fired Matty, Taji is one of the few people I watch every time.
Only valuable asset
If Taj leaves, we all leave
Taji needs to pull an Andrew Callahan and go out on his own
My word, going to a male escort for dating tips!
That's actually a fascinating move.
I'd rather ask my nan for dating tips than a male escort who's ego is bigger than themselves. As my granddad used to "stay away from egotistical wankers, they talk some absolute shite" xD
This made me laugh so hard. Guys, a sense of humor is great.
The blind date had me rolling 😂
We either see ourselves in Taji, or if we don't, we see how likable someone can be who is different than us. Taji is a win.
I wanna be like him
Well said.
I'm like him bit most hate me lol
Idk. He's just funny ah.
Jamie is the best. She gets 5 out of 5 stars! :) Adorable and very patient with Taji's awkwardness.
I have been lost in the abyss of a very dark depression but this cheered me up a bit. Laughter truly is the best medicine, thank you Taji.
How are you man its 2024 i hope your doing well
“Wise men speak because they have something to say; fools because they have to say something.”
- Plato
Ironic how that's a falsely attributed quote
This series with Taji is pure entertainment. Keep cranking these out Vice!
This is awkward af & I'm here for it 😂
His faces he makes while people are talking to him kill me everytime 🤣😂
So funny this Quinn guy tells Taji stay relaxed and be yourself while he couldn't be himself with the lady keeping correcting him
I can’t imagine it would be relaxing having your boss micromanage what you say especially when you’re supposed to be mentoring someone else
@@LaLaBlahBlahh I mean to be fair this man was looking to violate his contract with this company multiple times with what he was telling Taji.
She was just trying to maintain her business on TH-cam is professional and follows by the rules, and judging by Quinns reaction, that they break the rules all the time 🤣👍
@@DANE89 exactly....she's worried about the company's image and Quinn is just being honest
@@DANE89 he's not wrong though. But that was a pro tip, not really good for someone as awkward as taji or someone who's going on a date 1st time. It can turn out to be a disaster very easily.
Taji wearing the spoon around his wrist on the blind date has me cracking up
I love how Taji got so much hate and now is pumping out these bangers after bangers. Love you man!
Really impressive that she put up with all the cameras and shenanigans. Wouldn't really call it a date, with 2 cameras and microphones listening in to every word.
Quinn being supervised 😂😂😂😂
Lol creepy
I would love to see Taji on Hot Ones 😂 He’s the best ❤️
Jamie was such a good sport. I had cringey flashbacks to Taji's last date on vice ooffff. Jamie was so chill and nice.
Can’t blame the guy for not remembering the word, “residual income” has got to be the most out of the left field term to be used in that sentence
11:21 Taji still wearing that bent spoon during the date had me on the floor !
Jamie was awesome! A queen taking an awkward date in stride lol
it looks like Alan is creeping back there looking in the bushes hahhhahahaah so funny.
“I like your bracelet, is it a spoon?”😂😆😆
"I like your bracelet, is that a spoon?" 🤣
Jamie & Taji are both so awkward that they are perfect for each other
Taji is an absolute LEGEND. Never have I ever watched a character this awkward, and wanted to root for him so badly. One of the only reasons I'm still subscribed to Vice. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I love this guy! He's always Soo silly and awkward but in a good way 🤣.
Taji, you're an endearing person. I throughly enjoy everything you do. Can't wait till the next one!
Are we still making jokes about Taji keeping Vice alive? Asking for a friend..
Lol it must be 110 degrees out there, sitting on top of a rock, inside a dustbowl, with a single layer blanket covered in ants..
Pay attention people, this is what comedy looks like 😂
Blind date in sunlight with many people are watching you and in between he got a guru who gives him knowledge
I love this guy. If Taji is in the video, I’m watching it.
Rumour has it Alain is still out there in the bushes....reading minds
Illan watching through the bushes has me dying, lmao.
😂 this was entertaining as hell. Girl must have been like wtf
This guy actually did the spoon bending bit to proof his mind control powers😂
Mind reading not mind control.
@@praszu my bad😂
@@Koekje_Kijkt If he did mind control, this date would have looked much different 😂
7:37 The guy talks about a cool lizard over there. LOL. It’s like the editing/camera work represents awkwardness so terribly accurate that it’s hard to believe that this IS true. The crazy thing is that the people he visits and talks to are people who aren’t acting and think it’s completely true and convincing to the audience, like the mind reader and the haunted house guy.
This is pure comedy 🤣
Taji is a legend 🙌
Producer: Hello, I'm a producer from Vice. Are u desperate enough to be on date w/ a guy who have never had a proper conversation w/ another human? I don't want to say to much but this guy has been especially trained by a stripper in Vegas in the arts of invasion of ur personal space. We had arranged a place where u need to hike to get to an ants filled hill while being watched by a potential creep. Btw, fun fact about this place is it's the site for 16 unsolved murders. So, what do u say? U in?
BROOOO that's my homegirl Jamie!!! amazing work as the blind date 🤣🤣, congratulations once again!
Right- I can’t believe Jamie was in this!!!! Reading all these comments like bitches- I freaking know her. I’m texting with her right now!!! Lmaooo
@@Jamiee710 nooo wayyyy! That's so cool! Did you ever go on a second date with Taji? And did you ever notice the Asian man hiding in the bushes? Lol
The missed calls from only mom and vice with the cracked screen…legend
Not a title I ever thought I’d read 😭😭
I’ll watch everything this guy does. Only reason I watch Vice, besides some of the old Vice videos (Japanese Cannibal era) I might of missed
That hit home. I remember watching the old one with the cuddle cafes. Good times.
Lmao the blind date surely gave the "Taji video" feeling ! I was negative when I saw Taji for the first time ever, bit 5 minutes in any of his videos and boom - you're addicted
“My confidence at an all time high” 😭
Busted out with “no I’m not paying you “😅
This guy is what the red pill community should be like. Dude was super confident approachable but most importantly not obnoxious
12:50 lmao i like that the jello turned to water from heating up but they still eat....drink it
His date seems like a sweet person. If I were her I wouldn’t be able to sit among the ants
i love Taji
Also shoutout to the woman coaching this creep regarding "invade her space" - come on
Gosh, you're probably a ton of fun. Creep? Yeah ok
The guys knows what he is doing. She's just jealous.
He's not neccessarily BEING creepy. I mean, he was PAID to invade the woman's space, HONESTLY. He's definitely SOUNDING creepy, bc there's no way to say it out loud and have it sound right.
Anyway, this male escort can't NECCESSARILY give this little fellow advice. The rules of dating are very different for a hired romantic partner than they are for some dude you are going on a regular date with.
Don't forget he is using his job experience as a paid escort, he probably won't do that in blind date and nd will do it for his clients.
“Confidence at all time high”. Lol! She just couldn’t say directly he’s not suited.
On one end we have Isobel Yeung and far away on the opposite end we have Taji.
That's how all-encompassing VICE is. Only the best.
“No I’m not paying you” 😂 😂
The dude never fails to entertain us 😂
Vice guide: would you potentially like to see me again Jamie?
Jamie: that could be fun.
Vice Guide: oh thank you!
Classic.
This episode has less than 2k views in 6 days but the newest one Hass almost 120k in 11 hours. Shows how much thw title affects the views. Personally I'll watch anything with Taji in it. He cracks me up.
I believe this is a private video, meaning you can only access it through a click, not by looking it up or on their page. This explains the difference in views
@@darkbeautifultwistedchroni8181 It's unlisted for some reason
I don’t think we’re supposed to see these episodes yet
That makes sense. I feel like I'm part of some exclusive club or something since i have seen these videos before most.
I was thinking the same thing
Taji's smile at 6:25 was absolutely perfect!
I don't know how they achieve such a sense of verisimilitude and absurdity in these videos. I swear you couldn't write this!
This was so uncomfortable to watch. The way that Taji just carries the whole of Vice on his shoulders should be commended. I hope you feel seen Taj. I see you. We see you.
I lost it when he broke out the American cheese slice 😂
"No, I'm not paying you." lol Taji I really enjoy watching your videos.
"I like your bracelet. Is it a spoon?" "Yeah"
This is a freaking Masterpiece!
I think the male escort might have to get reevaluated by his boss 🤣
I feel like he wasn't very bright...
Plowing a middle aged woman with a few extra pounds takes a different sort of skillset than "brightness" .. Not sure I could stand up to the job!
The CEO of the company hears you'll be filmed and insists on being there to make sure you don't mess up
haha I'd be well insulted :P
@@jeffb.140 Lol 🤣
@@milianozuniga-deanda4955 agreed!
Another awkward moment brought to you by….Taji!
Quin nearly lost his job trying to do us a favor lmao
This guy kills me! I’d like to see what happens if he tried to do stand up comedy…good idea for Vice to consider for a possible episode?
Great idea 💡
Did this video really begin by showing off your cracked phone screen? Come on, Vice. Fund this man's phone repair 😭
Initially, I could not bear to watch this series. Coming back, I just love that he is himself and keep barracking for him to do well. Perfect balance of staged dialogue and natural ignorance. Good on him.
I hope Jamie recieved compensation 😆
This can be a smash hit on Comedy Central.
I felt sad when Jaime walked away. She is a beautiful women.
I love how the CEO is like 'Nooooo you can't say what you do! Say it nicely!'
After all the advice and training date scenarios gigolo says “Relax and be yourself” 😆 what a joke
I wish I was as comfortably awkward as Taji.
As a fragrance connoisseur, definitely don't rub it in. Letting it sit will preserve the integrity of the scent. 1-5 sprays depending on the strengh of the fragrance. Too strong and you turn people away. Subtlety is key to being thought of as someone who always smells good.
It's probably cologne, not the 100% pure strong one ig. Companies make same perfume in different strengths.
Ironically, Alain the Mindreader was the most "normal" of all the folks. Who knew holding the family jewels in a sack while having a pendulum hovering over it could be so unsexual.
This feels like a Nathan for You episode.
Fun Fact: Cowboys4Angels employees had a "reality show" on Showtime called "Giggalos". It was a wild show lol
An over weight woman breaking the seams in her clothes saying what she wants as "talents" 🤣 tf. People are so weird.
Well she's indicative of what the female clients are like and want ..
Female escorts have beauty standards as well. And their clients arent the best. So whats your point really?
We need another Vice series with David Choe.
I’m dying at the mindreader popping out of the bush 😭💀
"I think it would be fun" is much better than "If you texted me I probably wouldn't text you back" 😆 That one was so hard to watch.
ARE WE GONNA DO OUR HOMEWORK!
I'll consider doing some homework
the edits though LOL!!
The ants and dust storm would have been a deal breaker for me…..🤣
Fr, A Lil Pop-Up Tent Woulda Been A Game Changer!!
Out of all his dates, I ship this one
The closeup of the ants on the picnic blanket really took me out
My question : Has Taji ever done anything that hasn't been an absolute HOMERUN.??
Taji wants his date to "compensate" him LOL
