ohh interesting so eugene is staying as an owner, but departing as talent? slay

[@DizzyedUpGirl]

That means he knows it's gonna be a successful endeavor. He believes in his buddies.

[@jannatulshoilee1443]

This was one of my burning questions! I'm glad they cleared it up.

[@c.harlotte]

Honestly such a slay

[@FlagCutie]

Same, I really hoped he would stay as owner.

[@MayraAraujo01]

Also, probably an unecessary expense right now for the other guys to buy his share (and other rights) with the new cast and launch going on.

[@alyn7868]

Hearing Eugene say he’s almost 40 made me do a double take. I’ve followed yall since the beginning and to me you’re all still in your 20s

[@tateak]

right?? i’m also still in my 20s…😭 not really

[@Knightowl1980]

Which makes his departure all the more necessary and understandable

[@thatgirl9532]

Let me tell you one thing about Asians we take longer to age, yeah Eugene is almost 40 but looks late 20s.. Me: I’m late 20s 8/10 times I’m still asked for my ID, been told I look like a teen (also pfp here is like over 3 years old) still…I’m considered a teen in public 😂😢

[@aurusallos]

I mean Eugene started in his very late 20's. Zack and Keith are definitely mid-30's.

[@Gingerm0nster]

What do you mean he hasn’t been 23 for 10 years?!?

[@milesbon1]

Oh captain my captain 🫡

[@edcdad1124]

[@Cindrbell]

😮

[@freddieroso]

As an elder millennial I was screaming “THIS IS WHY THEY USED TO CALL BJs HUMMERS!”

[@Tati_ab]

Eugene staying on as an owner makes my heart happy. He loves 2nd try even if he can't be talent for them.

[@loocardoso8502]

sometimes i forget eugene is texan and then he says y’all

[@thatgirl9532]

And I love how they never went to Keith’s, Zach’s & Squidward’s hometowns because Eugene what ever he does is not only hot 😂 but so beautiful 🥹

[@rubiortiz335]

I live I'm New mexico but 10 minutes away from Texas and I have A LOT of . Texan slang and mannerisms with me which is so funny 🤣🤣

[@lipgloss675411]

i thought y'all was a black people thing

[@stacycamacho59]

​@@lipgloss675411😂😂😂 no.

[@crystalnguyen5023]

Honestly we say it in cali a lot lol. Particularly in Bay Area norcal

[@DizzyedUpGirl]

OMG! They got Eugene Lee Yang to do the podcast!

[@lassoroot]

I can't believe they pulled such a celebrity guest star!! 🎉

[@thatgirl9532]

Makes sense he may not be in videos anymore for a long time, but I feel since he’s still a co owner he would do things for the company that would boost them with his future projects

[@spoopyblogs]

THE Eugene Lee Yang

[@katiex3171]

“people are very married… word choice” 💀

"I wanna keep coming back here [Try Guys] and guest starring when I can" MY HEART, Rachel make this happen please

[@SHENworks]

YES Please!

“And the 3 of us stayed up editing it” 😂

[@petrae6833]

I love the shade haha 😄

[@bitsofkharisma3881]

they have mentioned before in a previous pod that Ned doesn't edit.

[@Heeyitsmika]

​@@bitsofkharisma3881 they have

[@matthewlantz1677]

They mentioned immediately after that it wasn't editorialization

[@olivethompson9008]

@@matthewlantz1677 So crazy that it wasn’t!

[@ashtreely]

It's kind of refreshing to see someone step away from a company without so much animosity and drama. There's a clear and open mutual agreement here. That is not typical in this industry lol and as a viewer I'm so used to being left confused when something like this happens and someone leaves a group I think it's a good sign the Try Guys is going to be around for a long time, no matter how it changes because they are all open and supportive. Even with the big "incident" which unlike this had a lot of drama involved, they handled it very clearly. So I'm happy for the new eras to come!

[@meloiassume8563]

We established last episode that we call it the Donut Incident 😅

[@daniellekirsch5402]

I also felt this when Miles quit, bit stayed haha. They seem so supportive.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Miles taking the Cool Guy slot AS HE SHOULD! MILES NATION, get in formation!

[@thatgirl9532]

Kwesi: What about KWESI JAMES?.. What about the CARIBBEAN ? & what about TRINIDAD 🇹🇹 & TOBAGO 🇹🇹 I’m definitely the cool guy 😂

[@NomadicFae]

Always soft 🎵 Never clean 🎶 🫰 🇹🇹 👀 🕶️

[@cheesecakelasagna]

🫡

[@YurikRoss]

Ned must be fuming

[@gauchegreyhound]

It was genius to have everyone on as guests until the audience was BEGGING "make Jared the 4th Try Guy!!" "Kwesi is the new Try Guy!" "more Johnny content!!!" So we feel like it's OUR idea when you announce it 😂

[@zach_iiii]

we'll miss our gay son so much but we're so proud of what you're doing with your career!! SO MUCH LOVE FOR EUGENE!! 💙💚💜

[@Tom-cn4cm]

Miss him? Shouldn’t you be used to him not being around by now?

[@thatgirl9532]

I am proud of Eugene, I wish I had his level of confidence. 🥹

[@zach_iiii]

@@Tom-cn4cm Ok and?? we'll still miss him. It's not just about the audience already being used to his absence in the past videos, it's knowing that he will no longer be in the future videos after the "last eugene episodes" they recorded for the main channel and knowing that we will be moving on to pursue his personal passion projects for good or until further notice

[@kleethepimp]

"The thing that brings me the most joy is just being Keith" Rainey is right, "iconic"

[@gabiluch87]

I love that Miles is now occupying the 4th seat that was always rightfully his.... MILES NATIOOOOON!

[@tateak]

MILES NATION!!!!

[@Diablochiquita]

This is now a Miles appreciation space

[@INC408]

Our most perfect person

[@liasohl7314]

[@SakuraPixie]

Only a few minutes in and Eugene looks the most comfortable on the Pod as I can ever recall him being. So nice to see him thriving already and just how supportive and loving and supportive this Try family is

[@Iheartcarsxb]

That’s I thought , he seems so relaxed and happy !

[@ferventdiego]

Usually a spotify listener but never clicked so fast on a trypod video

[@Bisexualdragon4042]

Same here, watching them interact just makes this feel more personal.

[@liasohl7314]

But same!

[@anto_mona]

The happiest "goodbye" I've ever seen and it is so on brand! Good luck to Eugene and good luck to the rest of the gang

[@logalexdavid]

Omg Eugene confirms that he plans to occasionally make some appearances in things filmed in the future. ❤❤🎉

[@KenVallejos]

He said that in his goodbye video too

[@pippadeedoodaah837]

I don't comment often but YB has got it smart by showing they way she edits. It shows her skills off, teaches people and also let's potential employers know what she can do. She's smart .

[@alliebeastwoman1]

Zach has never looked more like a tiny little guy in this room with the tall boys.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Rainie manifesting Paul Mescal in her life is honestly so iconic because it might just happen. Happy if it manifests.

[@AnkitaNayak24]

Fancy seeing you here after TISS! I wonder if we watch all the same things😂

[@PokhrajRoy.]

@@AnkitaNayak24It’s the algorithm lol

[@BasicBookBreakdowns]

Rainie rolling the credits at 28:09 had me CRYING. 😂😂😂 Also the clingsbury crunch bit never fails to make me cackle.

[@AubreyHalford]

When Rainie said “well… I don’t have… that” I nearly choked that was so funny, a relatable kween. And congrats to Eugene on finally being able to make this announcement and take that load off his chest 😜

[@A-ut7rb]

1:07:15 “I appreciate the audience even more than they can know. I especially appreciate them for welcoming Matt with open arms in the podcast because that was something I don’t think either party expected to happen, so I really thank them for that”. This caught me off guard and made me well up with tears. To even think to thank an audience for being kind and welcoming to his partner during *his* “goodbye” episode is a demonstration of just how much he truly loves Matt. I’m heartbroken that was even a concern for him.

[@user-kq9nx8iu7d]

Eugene enabled the Try Guys to showcase and validate their values. He legitimized their support of minorities and LGBT+ communities. I adore Zach and Keith for their self awareness and commitment to inclusion and equity. I am looking forward to the joy and humor to come. ❤️

[@madalynd0]

8:59 i love her ass😭, “that’s such a gossip thing” shit we might need a whole separate podcast of her just explaining us the tea cuz i wanna know what she knows💀

[@haleychristine13]

i think she was about to mention the rumor about timothee and being pregnant 🫢

[@amyxu8770]

I absolutely love how well timed each of the announcements, videos, streaming service and podcasts have been the last 1-2 weeks. Perfectly timed!

[@alexandraertz1238]

I’m sorry but the 8th Grade Keith rumor overshadowed everything else in this episode for me. 💀

[@logalexdavid]

We need more cosmopolitan tips that miles has saved in his memory.

I do love that the Klingsberry Crunch bit seems even more ridiculous when trying to explain it 😂

[@anachavez8257]

The cackle I released when Keith shared his rumor was heard throughout the neighborhood 😂

I scared my dog

[@nikhoovie]

[@Sentientmatter8]

"Four of us! Sorry Miles!" ... That's the sickest burn I've ever seen. I am humbled by how absolutely ruthless that was.

[@aleks-33]

5:15 Eugene specifies he did NOT go into acting because to some ppl it DID feel weird that they kept saying "EUGENE CANT BE IN VIDEOS. HE'S BUSY" and then only be in Nimona lol ppl were like "oK so surely he has time for try guys?" Even tho we were also told he had lots of other projects, its great to have confirmation acting isnt or wasnt one of them. 😅

[@Carolina-vp6nv]

My heart is filled to know Eugene will still be somewhat involved as an owner and he’s getting to pursue what he lives ❤

[@MissGhostface]

15:30 Shout out to Zach for casually complimenting queen Rainie's wit!!! I hope she heard that, because that was love!

[@alissareuben]

Thank you for giving us fans a farewell tour! We appreciate it and wish you all the best!!!

[@funnytime1111]

Good to know he's still a part of the company. I hope you guys visit Eugene on the plog every so often to catch up with him. Just getting started and this makes me want to go back to the last episode where Eugene was a regular on the podcast, that episode was so chaotic 😆

[@saveferris61]

😁This was me this whole episode. It has been hard to grasp why it is so sad to see Eugene leave, especially because he is a stranger far away. Then, you’re all three (all five with Rainie and Miles) together and it’s pure magic! It’s like not wanting to read that last page of a really good book or watch the last episode of a really great show. But we must. How bittersweet it is. I remain so proud of our boys 💜💙💚🥹. Thanks for everything! Looking forward to seeing you again one day soon, Eugene.

[@saraa.7836]

Been watching the Legacy Season on 2nd Try and it’s been so bittersweet. So excited for Eugene and all his future endeavors! Much love to everyone 🤍🫶🏻

[@keyapancholi749]

Rainie saying "yeah, I don't have THAT" is too reall😭💀

[@eastondavis3567]

This feels like the old trypod episodes. I'm so happy that this is how Eugene is making his leave! It feels so healthy for the group.

[@Nap_Champ]

I’m really grateful Eugene was willing to share enough about his life and experiences to participate fully in the podcast conversation. We know how private he is at this point so it felt like a goodbye treat for us. ❤

[@LivinMyJeffLife]

I'm willing to Buy & Support ANYTHING Eugene Produces, Writes, Does, etc. We Love You, Eugene💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@kparker905]

I remember when I used to SHIP Eugene with Quinta while they were both at Buzzfeed, because to be honest they had fantastic chemistry. Back then, Eugene gave off Andrew Garfield vibes. Just tall, attractive, laidback and artsy and very confident!! and they’re both so quick-witted and could keep going back and forth for a long time! It’s so funny reminiscing about how things started

[@carmelarouk]

Omg I remember this! I think it was a BuzzFeed video where the 4 were classified into harry potter houses

[@eyeseajujubee]

This episode made me feel so nostalgic. I can’t believe it’s been so long since they started Try Guys. I’m so proud of Eugene and can’t wait to see what he’s creating.

[@susanmontgomery3968]

I've really missed Eugene. While I am thrilled for him, I am also grateful that he's done a few more episodes for us, remains an owner, and hints he'll occasionally pop in. While the new cast is really great, it's Eugene, Keith, and Zach and their hard work and integrity that have paved the way for the future of Second Try.

[@ogga]

Kinda wish the voice clip segment was longer with more of Eugene because that would’ve been a good way to prompt retrospective stories about his time with try guys.

[@tayloroo]

lmao not the plastic wrap photo at the end of the Advice That Will Go For Miles theme song!!! yall are wild and im obsessed

[@gabiluch87]

Raine casting Eugene's movie is perfect 😂 She's lovely

[@logalexdavid]

The three of us sitting down editing it. Not editorializing it. I see the problems were right at the start

[@CJMGalaxy]

They've said you know who didn't do any editing before, I believe. I think his contribution was supposed to be his management experience and business sense - bang up job he did on those, too

[@mitica-mar]

I love that future videos could have the “featuring Eugene Lee Yang” in the titles when he comes back has a guest star 🥹✨

[@aerialdive]

Eugene going from resenting his online presence as a try guy in the early days to acknowledging the experiences it gave him now is so endearing to hear. THAT is growth and maturity.

[@libbyjones7290]

Never clicked so fast..We are so proud of ALL your work and growth, Eugene now go and spread those wings and run like a horse without dogs 🎉

[@alondra9974]

I can't wait to see director Eugene Lee Yang's first official piece of mainstream hollywood. I am very excited to follow him. I know his horror and intense darkeness will be translated onto his writting and film SO intensley. Ugh excited!!!

I'm not lying in the slightest when I say that before EUGENE SAID ANYTHING ABOUT MILES AURA I thought to myself, it's some kind of orange.

[@jambalie]

Idk what sort of sublimal messaging was packed into this pod, but I watched last night and wound up having the WILDEST TryGuys live stream fever dream. It was long and vivid and I consumed zero substances prior to bed. I only remember snippets now but I woke up going "wtf?!"

[@Chubby.Kiwi-.-]

Honestly, even if Eugene just appears in a video for 30-60 seconds just to promote his work I would be happy to see how he is doing. Also super excited to watch Miles’ own show on the 2nd try 🎉🎉

"Actually Zach, you're right. You take it. How does Eugene feel?" This is giving og podcast vibes 😂😂

[@stephearley3141]

Eugene "always soft but never clean" 😂

[@MeganSin]

I love even though he’s not gonna be on our screens, he is still a part of the company. And also Eugene to me, always seemed more of a behind the scenes person. And you can tell. I know I will for sure miss his presence on screen, but I also wish him all the best in his new creative endeavors. Plus we got Jonny to help fill the gay chaos void!

[@zennak3139]

How on earth is this a story I'm learning from Keith's life for the first time?! It's crazy he's never shared this before! What a wild rumor to have spread! Hahaha

[@Kat_IsAPotato]

I, like Zach, was very confused about the nougat conversation. Then I realized that the standard nougat in my country is a hazelnut-based brown german-style viennese nougat (actually had to look the official name up, we just call it nougat) while white nougat is the standard in most other parts of the world. Anyways, multiple types of nougat exists and I'm sure Zach was just thinking of another kind

[@awshucks79]

Will I cry during this too? I'm not sure I've rehydrated yet from Eugene's goodbye video

This one is more for the laughs!

Aww. Will have to keep coming back to this I watch it all over again

[@ruiqi22]

I’m surprised anyone thought Eugene would cease to be an owner in the company just because he wasn’t going to show up on screen anymore. I feel like that’s a question only a media personality would get.
