[@JOSHMULLENMUSIC]

Oof 😂. I'm happy to share any details I remember from the episode. Thanks for reminding me how skinny and awkward I was 15 years or so ago.

[@summerloveleigh]

Did they tell you how to react? Was anything portrayed vastly different than reality? How long did the van last you?

[@irishalchemy]

Did you actually like what they did to your van?!

[@JOSHMULLENMUSIC]

@@summerloveleigh They didn't exactly tell me how to act, but they did do a couple retakes where they asked me to be more excited. As far as vastly different from reality...there was no loaner vehicle, only one Xbox, the carpet in part of the floor was just stapled to some cardboard so you had to be careful not to step on it. Trailer was brand new and free so it was very cool. Kept the van for about 8-12 months before we traded it in for something we could actually sleep in. The engine was also going bad, the show doesn't do any mechanic work so we didn't have much choice but to trade it.

[@JOSHMULLENMUSIC]

@@irishalchemy Parts of it were really cool, other parts not so cool. Overall, I am very grateful for them selecting me and the band for the experience.

[@JOSHMULLENMUSIC]

@@summerloveleigh oh and nearly all of it was loosely scripted

[@dorkerella3208]

Im glad Shaggy likes the mystery machine upgrade. I was waiting for him to say "Zoinks" at least once during the video

[@gravenightghoul]

You know for these kinds of shows that all revolve around the idea of "Take one thing and make it the entire thing", a band van has to be one of the easiest to do this with because you have to ask literally one question: What kind of music do you guys play? Like imagine if this guy's band makes like Death Metal or something and he pulls up to the gig in the Hawaiian Luau van.

[@pyramidschema8668]

It's looks like a van for a Jimmy Buffet tribute band.

[@CodyCockyote7046]

Even if it was the most non aggressive, politically correct band in the whole world. No band would ever want to be seen in that piece of shit hawaiian themed van xD

[@shadowdancer9402]

I love the "natural human" conversations they have in the show. Totally not scripted badly

[@Fluharty]

For the record, I know Josh Mullen personally, and he HAD to be doing these reactions ironically haha. So hilarious.

As a musician who has toured several times, i am SOOO happy they gave him that trailer. the episode of pimp my ride where they just completely disregarded the persons need for storage space had me FUMIN' ! I'm a drummer too so I know damn well the importance of storage space in touring van. that thing is going to be SUCH a blessing for that kid. But also, when the fuck did he EVER say he surfed? did they just assume that bc he was wearing a drug rug? lmaoo.

Hey man I just wanted to say thank you so much, im a recovering alcoholic and when I was in rehab getting healthy and sober I would watch your videos after really hard days of group and it would make me feel so much better. I’m over 600 days sober now and I’m finally happy again. KZbinrs like yourself inspired me to get behind the camera and make my own channel and it has helped me stay sober ever since. So I just want to say thank you a million times, thank you O and btw Target acquired Tom…

This show makes about as much sense as "Extreme Makeover, Office edition". These are working trucks. They don't drive them to show off. They drive them to make rent, and put food on tables.

"So what kinda of band are you in?" "I dunno, I guess we're like a post-hardcore thing, but we have a lot of doom influences, and we throw a little shoegaze in there" "..." "..." "Yeah, we're gonna do this beach theme. That'll be good."

[@PointlessRhetoric]

I'm glad you admitted that paint job is sick as hell. Also that guy going from the drug rug to a hideous full-length wool coat just really compliments the spring break/cliche island nonsense confusion.

This guy is the most excited I’ve ever seen on this show! He’s almost disturbingly excited if that makes sense.

[@retard_activated]

Loved it! It always gives me a sinking feeling when you can tell someone is disappointed with the mods, but this guy was seriously all about it and that's awesome! :)

Lol he commented on this video, he said they asked him to do several retakes & to act "more excited" lmao so it was definitely forced. He said they sold the broken down van about 8-12 months after this. His comment is near the top if you're interested.

[@kassemir]

The fact that they picked Tiki Hut as the theme says everything, 'cause that is exactly the sort of thing my dad would think is very cool :)

[@chilibeer3912]

I’m so glad they added the trailer after basically removing all utility from the inside of the van and making it almost useless for its primary function.

[@DarkestVibez]

That guy should definitely dress up as Shaggy from Scooby Doo every year for Halloween

[@alexjones2677]

The dude reacting to his new van had to be trolling with his psychotic reaction lmao. So funny.

He commented above & said they asked him to do several retakes & to act "more excited" with his reactions lmao. That had to be so awkward 😂

[@g.oxford]

I have never been as excited about anything in my entire life as this man is over his van make over.

[@velvetrooster5569]

As far as I know TRICK MY TRUCK never actually required the shop to remove any of the equipment that they installed in the vehicles unlike PIMP MY RIDE which would send you home with all of your speakers removed, and all of your flat screen TVs removed.

CMT: We’ll give you 300 more dollars to react to No Worries like a kid on Christmas Day Matt: deal!

Good thing they tossed in a trailer because the the inside of the van is essentially unusable dead space now

Question, have you heard of Monster House? It was a wild show discovery ran during Monster Garage’s lifespan. That series is a PURE content farm to pick from.

[@LaraCazarts]

Watching these "repair" shows do all these unnecessary "repairs" to these poor individuals that just want their trucks and cars fixed makes me always remember that scene from Futurama where Hebert insisted on adding fire stickers on the planet Express ship make it go faster. And Leyla asks as a scientist, how would he find that conclusion possible. His response "Because I'm 12" 😂somehow made more sense than these shows ever did.

[@monster-man666]

You’re a trooper getting through Milf Manor, love seeing you cover these over the top shows

gotta say you’re the only youtuber in years i’ve actually wanted to turn notes on for, love your content brotha you’re getting me through some tough times here

[@juliamoon6562]

Watching the team switch themes mid episode was confusing but seeing Josh discover his passion for ALL things TIKI .....priceless. Let's hope the plexiglass is removable otherwise you'd have to play standing up as it obstructs the view. Bad idea to not make the whole thing moveable and install right in the center too. But then again so everything else they've done. Just silly.

Chris, you should definitely cover some of the more memorable To Catch A Predator episodes. I'd love to see how you react to the rat faced predator, or the TWO different people who stripped completely nude, one of which with intentions of having a cat involved. I couldn't imagine what you'd say. This is day one of asking, and I will continue until it happens. Your audience needs this.

[@tearkshunta5407]

Hey just a suggestion for a video, on a reality show called "The Swan" in 2004. Following the transformation of Ugly ducklings into beautiful swans. The show doesn't shy away from pointing out the person's unattractive features & flaws, making sure they know just how ugly they are. There's no way this show would be greenlit or even allowed to air on network channels nowadays. I've been subscribed since your first Chris Angel video, I'm a supporter from New Zealand.

[@PioneerPauly]

Haha thank you Chris that was great 😂

This is my first youtube comment ever, I think, because I'm old and watch on my TV. I started watching this and became distracted as one watching KZbin on TV does and realized the video was more than halfway through, and I was lost in what was going on. Without thinking, I stopped and rewound the video and said out loud to myself, no, bs,"Chris deserves my attention. " Congrats, that's a real story, and you definitely make top-tier content. Great enough that I got on my phone and wrote this all out. Keep up the great work!

Even if they've been scrapped by now I'd like to hear what it was like owning it." I think people would be pretty interested in a show like that.

[@romcomrewindwithmike]

Was actually season 4. I know exactly were that truck is today will cover it in an update vid on my channel eventually. It had 8 live mice in it and they swapped the van from a 76 to a 89 because the health departement didn't let them give the van back to the kid

[@ramsfan515]

I totally realize that the producers wanted a "surf build" episode, but for a band van, wouldn't have made sense to give them a van that promotes the band? Maybe theme it around the band that is going to be using it? Like most band vans? Maybe give them a cool, related band mascot? Something in anyway related to the band?
