First person to get on wins $10 from the other. Sure, I'll take that as well. If one of us gets on 10 bucks. So if you get on, you win the money. But the other two times are tough. Daddy needs dinner. Hi, I'm Chris. Hey, I'm Ryan. Hi, I'm Zach. And today we're going to answer some questions and play with some puppies. How does it feel to be back at the feed? It feels great. kind of like going back to your high school, but your high school is in a completely different place. And you're walking around and some people are like, "You're still here."

They told me to sit in a green room. And I was like, "No, I'm gonna walk around. I'm going to see what the kitchen situation's like." I feel bad for the puppies. If I was a puppy, like, I'm going to do another interview today. I'm going to see someone supering famous. And then you come in, you see us three, and it's a real wet blanket. That puppy's expecting Sydney Sweeney. What are these guys names? Oh my gosh, there's more. Hi. This one's name is Bruce. I'm Sydney. Oh, hi. Don't creep out the bunnies.

Puppies. They're like, "No, Sweenie. I'm out, bro." Yeah, they know. Bad Bunny. There's no Tom Hanks here. How you're going to be Bad Bonnie. This is a funnier bit. I think it's a better video if the puppies don't interact with us. I just want a puppy so bad. I got to Buzzfeed by way of internship. I was like 3 weeks postgrad from college. We had this like last little wrap-up thing and I crashed it. Oh my gosh. Oh no.

I saw that video. What video? Like don't you talk about that. 3 weeks. That's crazy luck. I had made a video where I crashed an assembly as like power line from a Goofy movie. And so like that got on to BuzzFeed. I saw that they were had interns. I didn't even know Buzzfeed video was a thing. And the only reason why I got my job was because in college I worked at a Joe's Crab Shack and the recruiter also worked at a Joe's Crab Shack in college. We talked about that for 25 minutes of the 30 minutes and I got in. I was uh acting doing comedy in LA. Somebody I did improv with was named Justin Abarka. He was a writer for BuzzFeed. He said, "Go to buzzfeed.com/job."

I came in to apply for a head producer. And they were like, "You don't even know how to work a camera or edit." So they said, "We're thinking about doing this new thing called a fellow." They had me interview with a different person, Hillary Lavine. and she walked out and went that guy's ETF down to fellow. I knew Shantel Houston in college and I knew she worked here and she had mentioned oh there's an intern program you should apply. So I applied for that I was making corporate videos for this video production company for Joe's Crab Check for Joe's Crab Check. But no, actually what I was doing is I was filming professors or giving, you know, like uh PowerPoint presentations on like

irritable bowel syndrome and stuff like that at USC. And I was filming commencement ceremonies. My job was to be the close-up cam and I was very far back and I was supposed to get the footage of when they would shake the dean's hand and they got their diploma. I was so nervous and the camera was shaking. I was like, "Oh my god, I'm ruining it." And uh they called me into the office and they were like, "Yeah, this footage is unusable." And then he got hired at BuzzFeed to do camera. telling people I worked at BuzzFeed. Just kidding. No, I was actually very proud. I was actually the opposite. I was like, "Do you know who I am?" Look, it was always embarrassing when especially like being a fellow and you were essentially going through this

internet film school making videos that you're putting up weekly and being judged like if the video performed well or not. And your balance is like if the video hits a million views or doesn't. I'm sure I have a laundry list of videos that I'm like why did I do that? So many videos I did chasing those views. I made like three would you rather videos that were like would you rather go on a date with Ariel or someone like this and then like those videos killed and I died a little inside when I pressed upload but then I saw the views and I was like oh baby Buzzfeed you needed to get views to advance to the next level from intern to fellowship to junior producer and I was like I am not getting cut. I will make 18 would

you rather videos before I get cut. But embarrassing. No, I mean I'm with you on like sometimes when a video wouldn't perform and you thought it was going to perform well. Well, you said that you love telling people you worked at BuzzFeed. I didn't. But you have this thing when you work at Buzzfeed is everybody thinks they went to high school with you. You're not like famous from being on a movie screen. You show up on people's Facebooks. So they're like, "Why do I know you?" And I still go, "I don't know. Where did you go to high school?" Because one time I was like, it might just be I do things on the internet. They're like what?

I was like, I'm I'm on BuzzFeed. And they were like, no, I don't watch Buzzfeed. That's so funny. And it was the most embarrassing thing that's ever happened to me and I've never done it again. Old City Jail in Charleston. I mean, there's What made you super scared about it? That place was just so gnarly. The history was awful. Normally on these shoots, things don't really happen when you're on location. So, when it go comes time to do the solo, I could kind of like live in the like, okay, not much has happened tonight. But this particular night, a lot of things happened. I think I had like a psychic break because I don't remember some of it.

Did it hit you immediately or did it like No, I just remembered thinking like there was one point where I was like, man, I could feel my heart beating so hard and fast. They closed the door and then I heard Shane laughing on the other side of the door and I wanted so badly just to be like, I'm not doing this. I'm going out. But I had to stay there for 20 minutes. And I think the only thing I could do to make myself feel better was to just be crazy. Because I remember my mom once told me like people don't want to fight a crazy person. So I was like, "All right, I'll just be a crazy person." And I think I was like barking like a dog at one point. So cute. Look at it. Doesn't man or something.

Let me see. He kind of looks like Sir Ian Mckllen. Ian Mckllen watching this. Hey, that's a compliment. Huge compliment. I want to do the puppy video. I'm sure he would be great with puppies. I would watch that video. My soul is trapped inside this puppy. I always remember there was one day at Buzzfeed where I was making a summer hacks video. I'm making a sprinkler. There's a bunch of puppies. Zach and Keith like walked by in some crazy costume. I walk into another studio and there's interns on ladders throwing

glitter while Eugene like pushes a camera in. Chaos, chaos, chaos. And then I walk in another back room and there's just Kevin McShane with a top- down setup of an iPhone just all alone. And it was just to me it's like that moment is so like Buzzfeed with the puppies and costumes and glitter and people and then just one person. I mean the coolest thing about BuzzFeed was it was like a very open seating area and every day you went to work there was some weird crazy that was going down. Like I remember I made an IV therapy video where people where nurses came in and administered IVs to me and three other people in the middle of the office. In the background people are just hammering out a video to get it out in time.

Anytime someone asked me what was it like working at BuzzFeed? I go exactly what you think. It was there was bean bags, there was puppies, there's kombucha. You're walking in thinking you're getting sushi for lunch and it's the try guys naked and you're like should have known. Some of the craziest stuff would be like getting called into taste test and you'd be like, "We're going to do a moonshine taste test and it's 10 o'clock in the morning and you do it and you're coming back to your desk and you're still expected to do your work." Actually, no, wait. The day that I saw somebody walking through the middle of the office with a cup of your own piss and cuz they're going to the drink your own piss taste test. That was a tough day.

It was an open container. Actually, I would say rewatch the dog food taste test. I think which I think was your video. The entire time it keeps cutting to me just going, "What are we doing? What the are we doing?" It was like, "We tried Korean snacks and we tried British candy and you were like, "People taste dog food." I was like, "But we don't eat dog food. It's dog food. It tastes like dog food." Oh, celeb collabs at Buzzfeed. I mean, look, I'm always going to remember Jack Black coming. Jack Black just impressed me so much. It was also very fun to perform with him and improvise with him and stuff.

I was expecting you about the Logan Paul. Oh, I also Oh, I also had Logan Paul come into the office. That's not a favorite. No, no, no, no. I met Logan Paul at a party. I said, "Hey, make videos for BuzzFeed. Uh, come on in one day." And he showed up on a hoverboard with his manager, which was also very like odd to us. We didn't work with a lot of like managers. I kind of gave him a tour of the office, but he was on the hoverboard the whole time. And all he was doing was talking to his manager about his AT&T brand deal. His manager wanted to talk to me about the type of money that BuzzFeed was making.

And like, and I'm like, honestly, I don't know. Let me see your books. And I don't know what kind of money we make. Granted, Logan was 22, probably dealing with a lot of fame things and whatnot, but it was enough offputting to me where I didn't want to uh give him a platform. And then he never got a platform. I'm just kidding. I loved filming all of the trailers that Chris was also a part of. It was like the most fun. You know what? Actually, I'm going to change that answer. My favorite video that we ever filmed, but it also involves Chris was this video called Finger Guns. Oh my god, I love finger guns.

Finger guns. And I remember we shot this at like 400 p.m. on a Friday and we just had an idea like what if we just got caught in a finger gun match and then it turns real and serious and someone's getting held hostage and like we did this whole thing and it was just you, me, and Justin. It was like an idea that like we like kind of almost like it was like an improv scene shot but it was really fun. And I just remember the sun was going down. We were losing light. It was a Friday. We're having our interns help us and that was just pure fun with like a Mexican standoff. And then all of a sudden Justin gets shot and we're like, "What?" And then we turn around and Quint is there and she hits.

Yeah. That was one of those days though where you like drive home and you're like, "I have the best job in the world." Like it was like I got to have fun with my friends and we recorded it and we'll see how this does. I just rewatched uh you and Justin's Airbud video. The kid who didn't get in the game because Airbud got in the game. It's like authentically dramatic. So good. I was benched for a golden retriever named Buddy. What? Yeah. Like there's an actual dog on my JV basketball team and he starts ahead of me. How anytime someone's like, "You know what video? I really like the underrated one. That Airbud one, it just it makes me feel good." I never had a bad day

shooting videos with Justin, Quinta, Chris, like it was just it was a dream come true. I miss you, man. What are you doing? Justin liv not to put him on blast. Actually, no. Do it. Thank you, Buzzfeed, for having us in here to meet all these fun little guys. You could actually adopt any of these puppies by going to Positive Beginnings uh and help find these folks some homes. It's positive beginnings. It's a pun. These babies are all available for adoptions. They're all sleeping now. You get a recommendation.
