SPEAKER_07 0:29

Very successful days for you four, right? Uh uh as it turns out. And and are you surprised at the people that would show up to the store by what looks like the hundreds just to watch you living in a grocery store? Was that surreal? Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 0:44

It was awesome. I mean, it was just like kind of motivating because you can't really leave when all those people out there are supporting you. You know what I'm saying? So it gives you like, all right, let's go eat another bag of chips. Let's go get another drink. You know, let's get out of here.

SPEAKER_05 0:55

Yeah, it was unreal. Very inspirational for sure. And a lot of the fans were Juan's fans too. So he had a lot of people traveling up from all over the state to come see him.

SPEAKER_04 1:02

SPEAKER_00 1:19

Thank you for your where you got my shirt right there. And uh same thing, uh thank you for a lot of people is coming from to the um to the grocery store. I so happy, I so I surprised to meet you. I decided.

SPEAKER_10 1:31

Yeah. I mean, there were people from everywhere, like from Michigan, from Cleveland, from Ohio, from Pennsylvania. You name it, yeah. And they'd like they'd come and scream at the window, and we're just like, yeah.

SPEAKER_07 1:42

You know, there's gotta be a weird kind of there's the all the whole experiment is odd to me. But so you're looking at people that you're probably thinking about, what are these people doing with their lives where they come from Michigan to watch guys in the grocery store? And the people from Michigan are like, what are these guys doing with their lives where they're living inside a grocery store?

SPEAKER_10 2:00

I mean, it was like an aquarium. I mean, they were tapping on the windows, and we were just like, you know, but we can't talk because you can't

Gross Foods And Blender Experiments

SPEAKER_10 2:06

hear anything.

SPEAKER_04 2:06

Hey, so what was the grossest thing you guys ate? Because I saw when you guys put stuff in the blender.

SPEAKER_07 2:11

Oh, that looked gross.

SPEAKER_08 2:13

Well, Jack, Jack did good with the blender stuff, honestly. He made stuff work that shouldn't have worked. Um, but we had pickled eggs.

SPEAKER_10 2:20

Pickled eggs was horrible.

SPEAKER_08 2:22

Yeah, heart of palms.

Friendship Built Through Constant Proximity

SPEAKER_00 2:35

together.

SPEAKER_07 2:35

Are you guys surprised at the friendship that grew out of this? Because towards the end, as a viewer, I would want to hang out with you guys because you all look like you're not only just good people, but great people that look out for each other and get each other's backs, and now you're brothers for life.

SPEAKER_10 2:52

I mean, we're not. We definitely are. We truthfully act like I mean like we're family.

SPEAKER_08 2:57

In the first video, literally the last couple weeks, I'm pretty sure Jimmy and the crew were like, all right, these guys are like best friends. You know what I mean? So it it all it we were just all hanging out, you know. We all we're all four completely different people, and for some reason it really just works together, you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_10 3:14

And that's why Jimmy, I think, turned this into an eat everything challenge because like towards the end of this, like it was like a like a month period time of us like chilling, playing cornhole, playing volleyball, playing basketball. Like we're all just having a good time. It was just like right now I was cooking it up, like we're just having meals, family meals, like we were just genuinely like having a good time. Like, Jimmy was like, all right, guys, like what's the plan here? Like, why are we gonna sit here all day? Like, and we were like, Jimmy, like, this is your challenge, bro. Like, you told us you told us to stay here. You know what I'm saying? And so he came in with an insane challenge of eat everything in a grocery store.

SPEAKER_08 3:43

And boys, it went from yeah, it went from one person getting 250k and you know, to now each one of each, you know, every one of us.

SPEAKER_07 3:52

So you just for each other. And have I don't know if you guys have seen the study, but have you seen the study about what makes a lifelong friend and the number one thing on the list is proximity? So, like they say if you're in college, you're 90% more likely to be friends with the person across the hall than you are down the hall. So you guys are literally living in the same spot. And then they say if you spent more than like 700 hours together, which you obviously did, right? So now you're locked in. You're locked in.

SPEAKER_10 4:22

I mean, I I knew what these boys was like, I knew what they would say before they say it. Like, I can they can look at me and I'd be like, he's about to say this and he he says it, or like he's about to do this, and he goes and does it. Like the first day that we left and like I woke up without them, I was like, Oh my gosh, like where are my boys at? You know what I'm saying? Like, because like you know, when like when you hang out with your friends, it's like two hours in a day, but like we're hanging out 24 hours of every single day. Like, you know what I'm saying?
