Reflecting on 10 Years Try Guys (good, bad, & ugly) - The Try Pod Ep. 279

[@MollyKillers]

“As employees fell away and I remained” Miles is so petty and I love it!

[@poyupoku]

I feel finely aged knowing the Try Guys has been here for 10 Years... I was there when it was written..

[@kellydoscope_eyes]

I love how you put that!

[@ssseltzer]

for real 😭 the farther buzzfeed fades into the back of the internet the more I realize wow I’ve been here to see a lot.

[@MollyKillers]

My dad HATED watching the NFL over college games because as he would say “I don’t care about watching millionaires fight millionaires. College kids have something to fight for!”.

[@ChaoticandHealing]

Miles always calling out Zach for saying unrelatable things is so funny.

[@meg6507]

Miles is so fcking funny "we should have done smut of the week" like that's absolutle class lololol

[@DizzyedUpGirl]

Happy 10th to Keith, Zach, and Eugene, the only original Tri Guys. YES, those three guys.

[@sarahjane6982]

Sports Communications major from Clemson here! I loved the conversation about college football and the narratives of sports. Fun fact: the majority of sports fans only have a rudimentary understanding of the sport and don’t actually watch for the technical sport itself. They’re watching for the narrative and the story and the human bond. That’s why, for example, people watch the Olympics for Simone Biles’ comeback when they don’t know the technical score design of gymnastics. Y’all’s discussion is actually a really great conversation, in terms of what sports do for society.

[@jadebroadhurst4697]

I love hearing Zach talk about the business side of things. He talks so eloquently and in-depth, with such great knowledge about trends and what is successful.

[@emmaroesner7106]

Re: advice that will go for miles Pretending you are closing down a pub or bar or some fantasy cafe with any mood music you want helps make doing dishes more fun and relaxing

[@alexisc3658]

Rainie talking about football had me cry laughing. I love this era for her so much.

[@whereyoubean]

Thank God to Eugene for suggesting to keep Keith in Buzzfeed. And now they became co owners and closest friends ❤

[@Katranga]

Ohhh hearing old buzzfeed stories with Ash telling Zach to stick with try guys and Eugene saying they’d be crazy not to keep Keith is so cool. It’s heartwarming and then also like Zach said, sliding doors moment. Looove this kind of retrospective stuff!!

[@evelynpham1801]

no joke, the try pod is my comfort pod to listen to while I am doing house chores, including washing the dishes

[@TM.BECK14]

It's my folding the laundry pod for sure!

[@jambalie]

I've done dishes to this podcast more than once 😂

[@sparkfadingspark]

Its so sweet to hear that Eugene went to bat for Keith at BuzzFeed before they were even close. Shows what a good worker Keith was tbh, he obviously made a great impression on Eugene!

[@fanofyou1493]

Hearing korndiddy acknowledge the behavior he had during the early trypod days truly healed something in me. It was at times unbearable to listen and I found myself fast forwarding through most of the episodes. Listening to them now is such a different experience and I truly appreciate the growth not just in korndiddy but in all of them 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

[@TM.BECK14]

Agreed! Zach's growth in general over the last couple years has been great to see 💚

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Congratulations on 10th Anniversary of Try Guys! I came across your videos in 2015 and my life changed forever. Thank you for continually altering my brain chemistry.

[@chelled.4622]

I love Zachs advice about letting employees take ownership of their own day to day work while working towards a shared goal. I wish some managers in my co understood that. Whenever I teach someone something new I always stress for them to find a way that works best for them, not necessarily my way.

[@droidgotra]

Rainie you would absolutely love formula 1 the soap opera happening every week is of biblical proportions

[@thatgirl9532]

Happy 10th Anniversary to The Try Guys …can’t wait for the celebration live next week with Eugene too! 👏 Been watching them since buzzfeed days, (ironically I could have ended up at that company also😅)….anyway so proud of how far they have come. ❤

[@gigidodson]

I have a pair of shoes i wore to my jr prom. Im now 63. My grandchild borrowed them.

[@elliottsalibi]

it’s so funny to me that it’s the ten years of try guys on the anniversary of the ten years of me and my besties friendship.

[@adrianpink8144]

Happy friendaversary!

[@elliottsalibi]

@@adrianpink8144 thank you!!

[@PokhrajRoy.]

4:31 ‘AITA for not getting my tuxedo dry cleaned’

[@juanpaiz8996]

Keith nailed the description of a pep-rally! Those were the good ol' days!

[@arielle.notthemermaid]

love how Keith suddenly knows some astrology stuff.. that's Becky's traces all over

[@whereyoubean]

And eugene 😂

[@taniac.1393]

I just got into the try guys and knowing they’ve been around for 10 years is wild. Glad I have like 10 years of videos to catch up on. These guys are great 😊

[@mackenzeknuth]

I am a swiftie turned football fan and I was loving the football talk

[@mackenzeknuth]

Also from the south so football is second from religion as far as things of importance here

[@trinitydouglas3990]

Aye yo that's some solid advice that will go for Miles. I'm in grad school right now to be a therapist and the importance of mindfulness in the day to day can NOT be overstated

[@MissGhostface]

I have a shirt from when I was in preschool in 1993 with my preschool picture on it. I just sent my 3-year-old daughter to my same preschool, and she was wearing my preschool shirt! I still wear it sometimes. I had given myself bangs in the picture, they're super cute and jagged!

[@taylorfiske5047]

This is adorable because ya’ll are my comfort voices when I do the dishes/clean the house 😂

[@dunnald]

Plog from a College Football game.

[@anachavez8257]

I legit put this podcast on and cleaned my house, listened to half of it lol but it was soothing noise in the background. Thanks try guys, miles, and rainie 💕

[@Zarrus491]

10 years is crazy. there were a few years where i watched Try Guys pretty much religiously, maybe 2018-2022 (both before and after i also watched them occasionally) and i just came back to this pod cause i always used to fall asleep to episodes and it's the only podcast i've ever liked. time flies.

[@LawnOrnament]

High school pep rallies really were some of the most fun the whole school has together. It’s so hype, it’s so fun. I was a band kid and it was the best energy! Loved being on a team and having fun and cheering on my friends!

[@jasminehannah5653]

I agree!!! I'm a color guard girl (the flag and dance people with band) pep rallies just hit different

[@emmaziegler6597]

actually can’t believe they made me listen to football talk

[@abbeypainter9231]

The Purdue mascot is a train (as Keith knows) and it drives around the whole campus honking the horn at 8am for wake-up call on game days!

[@ashbolson]

Congratulations on 10 years of Try Guys! I always listen to you guys or You can sit with us while I’m doing my boring tasks too!

[@mikeyzenebe3131]

The trypod and come sit with us have become my morning routine while driving to school and I think it's the only thing keeping me sane

[@Sarahsorenson4]

You guys are who I listen to when I wash my dishes and I love it bc I laugh so much and it does make it enjoyable

[@JenniferLee-kx8nx]

I always advocate for Keith to return to TN, but I will especially advocate to get the Try Guy)Try Pod to a UT football game. The SEC is the #1 NCAA football conference and UT has the best fan experience in college football.

[@Heeyitsmika]

It took me forever to figure out what TN is. Then realized its tennessee and proud of my non western ass that I even figured that out

[@fountainfaerie]

HAPPY 10 YEAAAARS 🎉

[@bellet7224]

Love love love Rainie’s football arc

[@dbest7]

I'm currently not a SecondTry Subscriber, but I do know if Kieth did a Music/Synth type show and brought in other Music youtubers (Rob Scallon, Andrew Huang, Jeremy Blake/Red Means Recording, etc) I would ABSOLUTELY get a subscription. And honestly I feel like the music/musician realm of youtube content has just in general been something Try Guys haven't really showcased a ton on the channel and would love to see it!

[@kimberlyswanson2782]

Awwww yall ARE my cozy-voice-doing-the-dishes podcast They had piled up, so after I got home from work I gardened🍃💨 and then tacked the dishes. I finished them JUST as Kieth made his ending punchline Life is good. Love you guys, thank you for existing

[@Isha-j8e]

Also Miles singing love story is soooo cuteeee

[@xaliagorvitts1305]

It's kinda crazy. I've been on-and-off watching Try content for a while now. Life's been busy and different. And yet the first TryPod I've listen to in months was this one- ironically to help motivate me to do my laundry and dishes. I found it funny and poetic that Miles' advice at the end was exactly what I had been using it for. It was nice to hear you guys again :)

[@Isha-j8e]

Zach saying my mic needs to be up to rainie is sooooo good hes in control of that soo good

[@maddyoregan]

Hearing them talking about listening to podcasts while doing dishes....while I'm doing the dishes 👀

[@hiVanderLinden]

Oh my god hearing keith talk about his pep rallys from high school was sooo nostalgic. That was exactly my experience, down to the shouting of penis 😂

[@Luvgurl6]

Art and life- me watching this podcast with my window open and it being September there is a football game across the river from my house. I was so annoyed earlier when they were honking car horns but then I realized why -when Keith was talking about his HS days it dawned on me and I Turned the sound down-I could hear the people cheering and the car horns for I’m guessing a good play or touchdown ❤ thanks guys for making me hone in and love the memories of these sounds from my hometown 🎉

[@rusty1411]

Nebraska Husker fan here - the football is basically a NFL team. Memorial stadium becomes the 3rd largest city in the state. Husker fans travel really well and are overall very nice

[@geostyma]

Grey goose jelly shots would probably go down smooth

[@kalebzerger301]

Great advice Miles! I have ADHD and this genuinely was a massive help🤟 game changer.

[@miqueladavis5393]

I was 11 days overdue, and I would’ve been a Libra if I was on my due date but instead I was born the day after Scorpio season starts, and I feel like I was just waiting that out because I am SO much more of a Scorpio

[@a_o011]

Try guys have a pep rally 👌🏼

[@FroAlchemist]

Here’s For 10+ More Years!!

[@autumnavalanche1097]

keith's moth joke at the beginning is so underrated i laughed so hard help

[@francis2fly]

I am with Zach. I never thought about asking when I was expected. I know the rest of the story.

[@rosecastle2718]

i never asked. i guess since i was 5 & 1/2 weeks early, it was a part of my birth story that i heard every year. like, my dad was a whole state away because he never thought my mom would go into labor so early. so the whole "you came early" thing was just part of the story. and my guess is that like miles' story included the fact he was 2 weeks late and that's how he knows. maybe for those who don't know, you were only a couple days early/late?

[@SpaghettiPlays]

kind of delighted to hear about Miles's advice while I'm washing the dishes.

[@ksizzlepuppy]

Literally currently doing my dishes while listening!

[@nonabonn]

God it only feels like a couple years ago that the first try video came out on buzzfeed! Crazy to think it's actually 10!! Congratulations guys 😊

[@galadrieljohnston2613]

Wait miles and I are birthday twins!!! That's so fun, happy late birthday miles!!

[@kiradoeslife2364]

When I went to Eat The Menu DC the staff at the merch table reminded me it was the 10 year anniversary, I suddenly felt like I had matured 😅 and I was also so proud of y'all for creating so much from just a very thrown together moment at BuzzFeed. I love you all ❤

[@alyssanewbill8760]

1:04:08 literally me every time I listen to the TryPod 😂

[@DanieGrace]

I absolutely listen to you guys and perfect person pod and the rest them when I'm working to help me get through the tedious tasks and keep me going 💜

[@ayamsmol9589]

Been here since DAY ONE! I was in middle SCHOOL!!!! I’m 26 now !

[@gamberlane]

Maybe not what they're going for, but I'd like to think that a lot of their fans will continue to age with them and so we will be interested in content for middle aged people!

[@geraldine645]

I love Ash's advise to Zach ❤

[@leslievalencia3291]

20:20 Miles quoting Love Story is iconic ✨🎉🫶🏽💛

[@soho1590]

The guys trying to figure out astrology is the CUTEST THING EVER

[@colleenschulz8934]

Hear me out: Keith Eats Everything at Tailgate. I, personally, would suggest a Packer tailgate, but I'm a Wisconsin girl so...Packer fans are generous as hell, especially if you're wearing Green/Gold and they'll give you everything. You'll be hammered and stuffed before you head into Lambeau.

[@nataliesutton6649]

i love keith repping the small town southern football culture. the pep rallies were so real

[@katruzkacolon9083]

I love when Zach gets all CEOish.

[@maggiewalker95]

Keith’s account of pep rallys viscerally took me back to southern high school

[@riojanellex]

22:06 Keith’s reenactment and explanation of high school Friday nights during football season in a small town was so spot on I almost had a flashback lmfao

[@melissaw3020]

As a smalltown Midwesterner I really loved Keith's description of high school pep rallies 😂 really brought me back

[@melissaw3020]

Omg and now Miles talking about tailgating at a big public university...makes my Ohio State alum heart happy too

As they talked about "what piece of clothing have you had the longest" I realized I was wearing a shirt from middle school... woah. I also had a tank top from 4th grade all the way into college... which I think is more a testament to how little I grew / how big of clothes I bought as a kid

[@lexilarson1881]

Zach’s hair looks great!

[@kleethepimp]

Rainie getting into football for the story is amazing. I love this for her.

[@GreenGiant96]

Zach's description of his leadership/management style is what's called the "Law of the Situation"

[@jennabaldwin9634]

You won't here about this one but Kansas State football in Manhattan, KS has a fan atmosphere that is second to none! So many amazing people and lots of good KC BBQ. I fell in love with college football in Manhattan and then decided to make a career out of sports!

[@tiffanyoboyle3690]

If you want to go to a college football game, you need to go to a Virginia Tech game! There is truly nothing like it. From the outstanding tailgate to jumping to Enter Sandman to the boom of the cannon, it is the ultimate college football game experience!

[@Itsrei98.]

Happy 10 Years!!! Oh damn I also feel old. I am happy to see your growth!! Love the community also!!

[@e-j]

As a Brit, the pep rally and football stuff in schools sound terrifying but also kinda wholesome with the community spirit

Keith just took me right back to my high school pep rallies.

I want them to do an episode where they pick 1 prospect each for Rainie on the same team . Go to a college game get rowdy and hopefully get to talk to one of the prospects

i really liked the football segment portion of this episode

[@mayatouchstone9460]

Come to an SEC football game! We take it seriously, and the energy is insane down here! I’m biased, but the Iron Bowl (Alabama vs. Auburn) would be the absolute most fun football game and rivalry to come to!!! War Eagle!
