The Try Guys Take a Lie Detector Test

You're not getting anything out of me.

Oh, we're gonna get it out of you one way or another.

I'm gonna get it out of you,

if I have to squeeze every drop of you,

just like a lemon.

Wow.

Or a grapefruit.

Oh, I prefer a lemon.

[dramatic music]

Hey, this isn't my first lie detector test, so...

[laughing]

I was told I was being interrogated by Eugene.

Nothing was said about Pesto, I was not prepared for this.

To calibrate the machine,

I'm asking you three basic questions.

Okay.

Is your name Zach Kornfeld?

Yes.

Is your Instagram handle @korndiddy?

Yes.

Are you sure? [laughing]

Technically, my full name is Zachary Andrew Kornfeld,

but I feel like I'm gonna say, that's true.

Are you nervous?

A little bit.

Are you nervous because I'm the good cop

or are you nervous because he's the rough cop?

[air whooshing]

Zach,

your Hebrew name--

[laughing]

is Rockton.

Yes.

Which means dancer.

The dancer.

Is that correct?

Yes.

True.

It was a self-anointed name because

I was not bar mitzvah'd,

so I chose it myself

and I don't think I could have chosen any better.

[laughing]

Do you think you're a good dancer?

By traditional standards,

perhaps I'm not as disciplined,

but

absolutely.

[laughing]

Questionable.

It's questionable-- She said it's questionable.

Yeah, I think my dancing is definitely questionable.

Can this machine tell that someone's lying to their self?

Who's the worst dancer in the Try Guys?

Ooh!

Tough competition.

Between you and someone else?

The answer is Ned.

It's true, I don't need to look at her to know that.

[laughing] However, I have rhythm,

or I have the capacity for rhythm.

I understand beats. [laughing]

He understands beats.

Zach.

Yeah.

Okay, I'm get serious now.

Okay, me too.

Zach? Yeah.

Are you a Jonas Brothers fan?

Yes.

He's telling the truth.

The truth.

We're on a long journey.

My sister was a huge Jonas Brothers stan.

I resented them for some of my life, but they rock.

Do they Camp Rock?

Who is the Kevin of the Try Guys?

Oh, fuck.

I don't know that I'm legally allowed

to answer that question.

I don't think we have a Kevin.

He's telling the truth.

Ooh, thank God. [laughing]

I was not prepared for a follow-up.

The Jonas Brothers are gonna be so mad at you.

They know.

Zach,

do you actually like the movie Cats?

Yeah.

He's telling the truth.

Oh, that's a shame.

It's like, for what it is, do I...

Is it the worst movie I've ever seen?

Probably, does that make it glorious?

Fucking absolutely.

Zach. Yeah.

You're a Fast & Furious stan.

Are you team Vin?

Oh, fuck. Or team, The Rock?

I knew this was coming, I knew this was coming.

And let it be known that whoever he states,

the other person, he absolutely hates.

Look--

Choose your team.

This is the hardest question I've ever been asked

'cause they're both incredible, beautiful people.

Look--

A lot of stammering before an answer.

I know there's a yes or no, I'm gonna get to it,

but if you don't know,

there's a little bit of a feud

in the Fast & Furious family;

The Rock and Vin Diesel hate each other.

They had to stop working together.

They can't even look each other in the eyes,

either because they're gonna fight or make out.

I'm not sure with, hopefully both.

I know without a doubt,

that Vin Diesel is the bad guy,

but,

I'm team Vin.

I would rather watch a Fast and Furious movie

with Vin Diesel than with The Rock,

and it's because The Rock is like, actually good.

[laughing]

But then, but then you're just watching like,

oh, this is just like a kind of good action movie.

But with Vin Diesel,

it's an experience.

I feel like I just squandered my chance

of working with both of them with that answer.

Yeah, because you basically insinuating

you like Fast & Furious because it's kind of bad.

Yeah.

[laughing]

Would you say that out of all The Try Guys,

you and Maggie,

display the most PDA?

No.

That's a lie,

that's a lie

You guys say that; we never kiss in public.

Y'all snuggle at every table we're at.

Well, I'm a snuggly guy.

And then you whisper things.

It has nothing to do wither;

I'll snuggle with anybody.

I'll snuggle with you right now.

Who do you think is more--

If you wanna snuggle, I'll do it.

You two are very affectionate--

I will snuggle anyone in this room,

try me.

Even my dog?

Yeah.

Even Pesto?

Especially Pesto.

Is this allowed?

Can he snuggle,

can he snuggle Sergeant Ruff?

He can snuggle Sergeant Ruff.

There you go, boy.

Oh, he loves, it.

[laughing]

He looks he doesn't like it.

He doesn't like it at all.

Ask me if Pesto smells good.

Does Pesto smell good?

Yeah.

That's questionable.

It is questionable.

Yeah, I got three dogs.

They get into some shit.

And by shit, I mean shit.

You're great at snuggling.

Really know how to hold the dog.

That's exactly how you hold the dog.

Mm-hmm [affirmative] we're snuggling.

All right,

Zach,

at any point in this lie detector test,

did you lie and get away with it?

Did I?

No. I don't think so.

You have to say if you lied and got away with it,

the machine didn't catch you.

No, I didn't.

He's telling the truth.

All right.

You're Pesto, am I right?

[air whooshing]

I'll never tell...

I'll never say anything.

You can't get me to talk.

You got this putz here trying to wrangle

the information out of me, you'll never get it.

Okay Mr. Lee Yang,

thank you for coming down to the precinct.

That's Mama Lee Yang.

Mama Lee Yang, thank you for coming.

Okay all right, we'll go with that.

First, just want to ask some questions

to get a nice baseline,

is your name, Eugene Lee Yang?

No.

Okay, all right.

I can control my heart rate.

Are you 34 years old?

No.

Okay.

85. Asian don't raisin.

What's something that you'll genuinely say no to?

Are you white?

Fuck no.

[laughing]

Are you a straight?

Fuck no.

Are you game proud?

Hell yeah.

I think that's a good baseline right there.

Eugene, you're the ranker

of the Try Guys was so-called rank king.

Does that mean you have better taste than the rest of us?

No, of course not.

I would never think I had better taste than anyone.

Yeah okay.

Eugene do you think I have good taste?

Let's break that down a little more.

Do you think I have good taste in fashion?

Yes.

So let me ask this another way,

Eugene, you're a fashionable man,

are you the best dressed Try Guy?

Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Would you say that I'm the worst dressed Try Guy?

No.

Is it Keith?

No, it's Keith and I together.

[giggling]

[indistinct]

You know what I love?

A good old plain burgundy t-shirt.

[laughing]

Straight men just love a good old, I don't know,

slightly lighter blue crew neck.

You're a healthy man,

Eugene would you say that you like to eat clean?

Does that include alcohol?

No, just your diet.

Yeah.

When we were on tour together,

did you ever say drunkenly

eat a whole hot pocket on our tour bus?

No!

Who would do that?

We need a whole pepperoni pizza hot pocket on a tour bus.

He's lying.

I know, I watched it.

It was a whole box of hot pockets.

I think ate it in two bites.

Yeah, it was just like an Anaconda going...

It was cool.

The next question.

You're pig, dirty pig.

All right, brace yourself mommy.

Mama.

Eugene,

do you

like the movie Cats?

No.

[laughing]

That's questionable.

Okay, I like it for what it is, a train wreck.

Was Jason Derulo's talent under utilized in that role?

Yes it was!

Did you at a party once drunkenly make our friends

and family watch several scenes of the movie Cats,

and everyone got mad at me,

even though you were the one in control of the remote?

Yes, because I knew that they would get mad at you.

It was not fair, but I loved it.

You were also squealing with delight the whole time.

How could I not?

I'm the enabler. Yeah.

You're the target.

Well Eugene, I appreciate your time really.

Mama.

Mama.

Really only one more question for me.

Do you love me?

God, pesto I love you hey bud?

Oh, you just here at the right time.

My dog's here, sorry.

I can't answer that question.

I don't have time for these distractions.

Hi buddy oh, thanks for coming.

Oh, what a great time, Vanity Fair, we've had today.

I love you.

I'm gonna need you to answer that question, sir.

Yes, I do.

I'm gonna need you to look in your dog's eyes

when you say it.

I love you Pesto.

By Vanity Fair, thanks so much for having us.

Do you love me?

I think we can cut the cameras now, right?

You look good.

Oh, thanks.

Yeah man. Yeah.

Very bionic.

All right Ned, you little liar.

It's time to find out what's true and what's not true.

But first some easy questions to calibrate the machine.

Yeah.

Question number one.

Is your name Ned Fulmer?

No.

Ned, you got to calibrate the machine now.

You can't be goofing with me right here.

Well technically

it's Edward.

Okay, yeah so--

But yeah, my name is also Ned Fulmer.

So yeah, so that's also true, two truths.

So this is gonna seem like a cheap shot,

but it's really not.

Do you have the softest jaw line of The Try Guys?

No.

Oh, in that one video, they said yes.

Yeah.

Apparently yes.

And are you ready to take this one?

That's calibration question?

Yeah, man.

You could have asked if I'm from Jacksonville, Florida.

Yeah, I could've, but-

This is how it's gonna go--

It's nice to see how things rattle yet.

We're calibrated.

In our documentary, on our tour,

you were the legend of love.

Yeah.

Do you think you're more romantic

than the rest of The Try Guys?

Maybe I used to be.

There's something about having a couple

of kids that makes romance a different beast.

Probably, I would still say you're the most romantic.

Thank you very much.

Is he being honest so far?

So far, he's telling the truth.

Good boy. [laughing]

You know speaking of romance,

you've been married for quite a long time.

Have you ever forgotten an anniversary?

It's definitely crept up on me...

But I don't know if that counts as forgetting.

Because I think in order to truly forget,

you have to go through the entire day.

But, it's definitely come the week of and yeah.

How about the day of?

No, never the day of, I don't think.

At least if it was, it wasn't a problem.

I got to throw some lies in here to throw you off my scent.

Yeah,

you know you've got two kids now

and you're still a loving husband.

Which is more important,

being a loving husband or a loving father?

I think a loving husband because it makes your...

If your relationship isn't in a good spot,

that impairs your ability to be a good father.

Good answer,

I thought it was a good answer.

I didn't really know what the answer was gonna be.

That was a good answer.

Now, recently, you made a video

showing you getting a six pack in six weeks.

Yeah.

Do you think you're fitter than Eugene?

No.

Can we get a verdict on that?

He's telling the truth.

It is true.

At that time though, right,

like when we took those photos, yeah.

Yeah, I thought I was fitter than Eugene.

Ned, do you ever check your DMs from fans?

Yeah.

Do you ever respond to DMs from fans?

Not usually.

Truthfully,

have you ever sent hilarious

picture of yourself to a fan?

Yeah.

Nice.

Yeah, that's a good one.

It gets to be a bit too much.

Ned, you are a daddy.

Do you like being called daddy by our fans?

No.

[laughing]

What do we think?

I didn't have a clear read.

So maybe sometimes yes, sometimes no.

No!

Depending on the fan.

No.

Maybe depending on the fan.

No!

Sometimes, it's kind of funny though.

Do you like it when I say, Hey, daddy?

Yeah.

That's true.

Yeah, nice, great. [laughing]

I'll start saying that to you more often.

Okay,

when we were on tour,

we met a lot of fans.

Do you think that the fans

overall liked any one of us more than the others?

You know,

I normally would think that more fans

like Eugene over the rest of us,

but there was such a broad diversity

of

favorites on tour

that you know I don't really think

that anyone had a true favorite.

You sure that Eugene wasn't your favorite?

No, no, Eugene's the favorite.

Yeah, Eugene's the favorite.

Yeah, it was.

The amount of extended two-minute long conversations

at meet and greets. Yeah.

Someone just takes Eugene aside

and sort of like I'm just standing there like,

right on.

Right on. Right on.

Right now you know,

Eugene's got a lot of cool things to offer.

That's true.

It didn't happen to me as often.

Wes is a strong boy.

Do you like Wes more than you like me?

Yeah.

[laughing]

Been through a lot, Ned.

You've known me for longer than Wes.

I'm so sorry, right.

I mean yeah, but you said like,

so maybe I love Wes more,

but I like you more,

but even that's a stretch.

I want to stop there because she said it was true,

and I wanna keep that, we keep that.

You and Ariel-

Would you like to sit on my lap and read

Goodnight Construction Site?

Well, that's a book?

Yeah.

That sounds great.

He is really into trucks.

Yeah. He's really into trucks.

Yeah.

Right now your in-laws are in town

helping you raise the newest child.

Yes. How's that?

It's good.

It's helpful to have them there.

And do you like having them there every day?

You know it's helpful to have them there.

[laughing]

He's telling the truth.

That statement is true.

No further questions.

Well Ned, did you lie at any point

during this test and maybe we didn't catch you?

Maybe!

He's telling the truth. It's true.

Okay, so maybe you did slip one by,

as you are the only one I think

who has ever effectively lied in the--

Oh, have I?

Lie detector videos and gotten away with it.

So you must be hard to read,

but I think I can read you pretty well.

[air whooshing]

Mister Habersberger.

Whoa Ned, please,

I have to get strapped into the machine.

Thank you for coming in today.

So good to see you.

Now you're not under arrest, but you are in trouble.

I am under duress, that's for sure.

Well I'm just gonna ask you a couple questions.

Okay.

Can you please get yourself strapped in-

Sure.

To the lie detector?

Aren't you the lie detector?

I'm the lie detector examiner.

I'm ready.

Ask me your worst, Ned.

Mr. Habersberger.

First, we're gonna calibrate the machine,

is your name Keith Habersberger?

Yes.

Were you born in Tennessee?

Sure was.

Do you have the strongest jaw line of the Try Guys.

Do I?

That's great news. Yes.

Are we calibrated?

We're calibrated.

All right.

This is my associate, The Lie Detective.

Wow, good to meet you.

Never met a lie detective before.

That's not true, I met one.

All right Keith, on a previous lie detector

you said you were the best performer of the Try Guys,

but that was before we went on tour

and did a show every single night.

Do you still think you're the best performer of us?

Hmm, maybe not.

Maybe not.

Maybe Eugene is.

Whoa, man, his number was pretty stunning.

He put a lot more effort into it, that's for sure.

We are...

That was true.

That's sad to hear, I was hoping that...

My subconscious was gonna sneak something

through and I still believed in myself,

but I guess, I don't.

Oh no.

Aw man.

Well, let's see if we can build you back up right now.

Yeah. Let's try.

We sang a lot on tour.

Do you think you're the best singer of The Try Guys?

Yes.

Now, which one of us is the worst singer?

It's tough between you and Zach.

You know it's...

I used to think you, but now I might think Zach.

Did I change your mind?

Yeah.

Wow.

It's because Zach leans into silly sounding singing.

Yeah.

And you try. I actually I try.

And when you really focus and try,

I think you can sing pretty well.

Wow you know well, we're both just feeling swell.

Is this a compliment party?

But no, it ain't enough.

We're gonna get the truth out of you.

You've been doing a great job telling the truth so far.

Thank you.

Now, Keith, you're a social butterfly.

The pandemic's been hard on you

but you blowing me off a couple of times

when I've invited you over to my house.

Have you ever blown me off

and not really had a good reason for it?

Yeah. What's that about, man?

I don't know.

You want to play Magic a lot and I'm not very good.

Every time we play Magic, you destroy me.

Is that true?

He's telling the truth.

That's true.

It's true.

Just like it's fun until you only lose

and then you lose a lot of confidence

in your ability to build a good deck.

The only time I've beaten Ned

was when he was so drunk he vomited.

Yeah.

That was the only time I've beaten Ned in Magic.

I got a pretty bad draw too.

Yeah.

But it's not always about Magic.

You live five minutes away.

We have barbecues.

Yeah, I don't know why.

Nah, it's all right.

Yeah, sorry bro.

It's okay, it's okay, I'll find other friends.

[laughing]

Okay, invite me again soon. Okay.

Invite me again soon. Let's remedy this.

Okay.

You've eaten a lot of fast food.

Which one has been the worst on your stomach?

Jack In The Box.

Why is that?

I don't think it's a good quality of food and it's a lot.

It has the biggest menu.

That or Burger King or Arby's.

Would you ever lie about the food quality

just so maybe they would give you a sponsorship?

If Jack In The Box gave you a dump truck full of money,

would you change your mind? [laughing]

Hell yes. [laughing]

Is he telling the truth?

That's questionable.

I think it's questionable, 'cause they're not gonna give

me a dump truck full of money.

Well, you heard it here first Jack In The box.

I would try, I guess I would try.

I'm always fishing for a sponsorship.

Now, would you ever let your future children

follow in your footsteps,

eating a bunch of fast food for the internet?

Yeah.

I need a straight answer lie detective.

Well, I think it's because I'm not sure.

I'm weighing the pros and cons.

Maybe they could get a sponsorship,

because, depending on how old they are.

That's like the thing,

the baggage that you put on your children?

You know, kid, if you're really nice to Jack In The Box,

maybe they'll get you a sponsorship some day.

Look, there's a lot of people that got sponsorships

from places like Chipotle, Taco Bell,

McDonald's, I'm just not one of those people,

but maybe my kids could be, and I don't want to deprive them

of being a major income source for our family.

All right.

Now Keith,

I'll assume that's true.

It would be bad for the kids, I guess.

I don't know, maybe not when they're children.

Maybe when they're older.

Probably the five-year-old should not be doing eating

all the Happy Meals, but it would be good content.

That would be good content.

Keith, in our new movie, Behind the Trial,

you mentioned that you took pictures

with four fans one morning

on the same morning in line at Starbucks.

Do you like taking pictures with fans?

I do, I miss it.

You miss it? Yeah.

Have you ever turned away

a fan because you were angry?

No, but I did snap at a fan who asked me for a picture

while I was putting on a miniature golf course.

It was literally like mid-stroke.

And I was like, Can you let me finish my putt, please?

And they were very scared

and they ran away and then I felt bad.

But it was a close game and etiquette.

Yeah, I guess, yeah.

Right.

Right. I wasn't there.

Etiquette.

All right, Keith,

that's all the questions we have for you.

Did you lie at any point and we didn't catch you?

Yeah.

Damn, is he telling the truth?

He's telling the truth.

No further questions.

[air whooshing]
