I can't believe we are more than halfway through the season already! It is going by so fast! This last episode, "He's Just A Little Mini Pig," was hilarious. It was one of my favorite episodes this season. Rob and Jeremy wanted to prove that they are happier than one another and it was so much fun to watch!
The show opens with the guys skating on the mini ramp which is filled with red, yellow and blue balloons. It looked like fun, but it also looked pretty scary. Rob made it through the balloons but both Big Cat and Drama slammed when dropping into the mini ramp. Jeremy came out of his office and he was mad because the guys were popping balloons and it was interrupting him while he was on the phone. Rob called him a "fun hater," and told him to stop being negative. He told Jeremy he wasn't happy right now and Jeremy disagreed saying he was very happy. This set up the premise of the episode - Jeremy vs. Rob in a fun battle.
After the opening credits, Rob walks up to Chanel in the lobby and she has a photo of a "weird Indian man" on her desk. Rob asked her why it was there and she explained that it was Jeremy's picture. It was a spiritual adviser that Jeremy is really into. Chanel said that Jeremy even had a picture of this guy in his port-a-potty upstairs. Rob gets a little weirded out, grabs the photo and runs up to corpo. He goes up to Shelby, a guy who works in Corpo, and asks him if he ever heard of this man. He says he doesn't know much about him, just that his boss (Jeremy) is really into him. Then he goes to Drama. Drama asks why he has that photo and tells Rob that he is kinda freaking him out a little bit. Rob enters Jeremy's office, sits down, and asks who exactly H.H. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, the man in the photograph, is. Jeremy explains that H.H. stands for "His Holiness," and Sri Sri has created something that millions of people follow, in 140 different countries. Sri Sri's spiritual advising has helped Jeremy a great deal in his life. Rob wanted to know how he obtained "His Holiness" status, and Jeremy said it is just his title.
Jeremy continues to explain Sri Sri is all about living in a peaceful, stress free environment and he thinks it is something Rob could benefit from. He talks about how true happiness has nothing to do with wealth and material items, it comes from within. Then Rob grills Jeremy about his expensive watch, his Maserati and his house on the ocean. They both think that they live a happier life than each other and they want to prove who in fact is happier.
Rob says that he wants to set up a competition testing each others happiness and he also wants to see what he has to do to get "H.H." placed in front of his name to become "His Holiness Rob Dyrdek," haha. Before Rob leaves the office, he tells Jeremy that he needs to just clear up a rumor really quickly. He opens the door to Jeremy's port-a-potty and pulls out a picture of Sri Sri. Rob starts laughing.
Rob - "Are you kidding me?!"
Jeremy - "What are you doing? Some things aren't funny to joke about."
Rob - "I'll tell you one thing I'm never gonna do, and that's judge a man with a small portrait of another man, in a port-a-potty"
It was so hilarious! In the next scene, Rob walks into the building with a small pig in his arms. He goes up to Chanel at the front desk. Chanel thought it was adorable and asked to hold her, but when Rob went to hand the pig to her, it started squealing like crazy. Rob determined that Chanel gave off "bad pig vibes," and he continued into the factory.
Rob - "Look at this little pig! This is all yours all week, you can run around here and just pig off!"
Drama had a mixed look on his face of confusion and excitement. He asked Rob if that was a baby pig and Rob said it was. The camera shot over to Meaty and Beefy in Rob's office and they looked like they were ready to pounce. Rob said his only concern was introducing it to these guys.
Drama - "No way, look at him ready for some bacon!" and Meaty and Beefy licked their lips, haha.
Rob told Drama he might have to hold on to it and Drama was not too excited. They went into Drama's office and put the mini pig on the couch. They were petting it and Drama asked Rob why he had it. Rob said someone asked him to watch it for a week. Drama reminded Rob about how mini farm animals weren't really the ideal pet (referring to Mini Horse from Rob and Big). Rob agreed but he said once he had the little pig in his arms he couldn't say no. Then he looked down and he had pig crap all over his pink t-shirt, haha. You could tell at this point that it was going to be a fun week with the mini pig.
The camera cuts to an exterior shot of the Factory to start the next scene and Rob gets on the intercom -
"Guys, gals, come on down! It's free skate time in the Fantasy Factory!"
Drama peeks out of his office and sees Rob sitting at his desk wearing roller skates. Rob continues "It's time to show Jeremy Larner what happiness is all about!"
Everyone from Corpo comes down and gathers around Rob. He passes out a pair of skates to everyone and when he gets to Jeremy, he had a different box. Jeremy opens it up and it is a pair of pink and black skates, haha. Jeremy didn't want to wear them but we all know Rob can pretty much convince anyone to do anything, and Jeremy put them on. They were all having trouble balancing and Jeremy grabbed on to Rob's hips to steady himself. It didn't work too well and Jeremy ended up falling, pulling Rob down with him.
Rob - "Do not put your hands on another man with wheels."
I was laughing so hard at this point. Then the camera switches between everyone in the factory trying to skate. Chanel wiped out, Drama was doing alright, Jeremy fell hard. Then Rob brought everyone together and used a remote to dim the factory lights and start a disco ball and some roller disco music. Everyone was pretty excited and we saw everyone trying to get down the steps and ramps on their skates. Rob told them that it was time to create a snake. "Throw your hands on my hips players, let's get weird!"
People were falling left and right and it was hysterical! There were a couple people who pulled off some good moves. Shelby from Corpo looked like a pro! Drama was doing pretty good. A couple things I loved about this scene, not only was it hilarious, we got to see a lot of the behind the scenes people who work in Corpo! Talisha made her first appearance! We also saw Brian Atlas, the general manager for Streetleague, and we even saw Kevin Delaney and Tai who work for Young and Reckless for a brief second! Geoffrey and Tracy were there, along with a few other people whose names I am not completely sure of. It was nice to see the whole group together! Also, if you watch closely, you can see the Fantasy Factory camera guys trying to keep up with the skating by filming on a side hack! Must be such a fun job! haha.
After the roller skating, there was a commercial break, and when we come back Drama and Rob are in Drama's office with the pig and Drama calls Chanel and asks her to come and try and bond with it. Chanel comes in and goes slowly up to the pig while talking in a baby voice. She sits on the couch and asks "wanna smell me?" while holding her hand out. The pig starts walking backwards with it's ass towards the camera and Rob goes "smell this," haha! This was so SO funny! Another moment in the show where I was laughing so hard. This one had my entire family cracking up! The pig started to pee and Rob ran over, grabbed the pig and put her in the litter box, but it wasn't soon enough. She marked her territory all over the couch in Drama's office.
The next scene begins with Jeremy calling Rob from his office. He tells Rob that since Rob agreed to go on a spiritual journey with him, he wants to take him to a breathing class. Rob was a little bit confused about a class that teaches breathing, but he went along with it anyways and brought Drama for the ride. Rob, Drama and Jeremy enter this house where they are greeted by a breathing instructor named Rajshree. Jeremy was introducing all of them and Rajshree asked Drama if he was freaked out, haha. He said no, but she told him that he looked freaked out. Drama always looks a little weirded out when he goes on one of Rob's adventures. The four of them got on the floor and Rajshree told them to watch what she does and duplicate it. She had her arms up and as she brought them down she breathed really hard out of her nose. Rob and Drama were looking at Jeremy like he was crazy and Drama said if he does this he is going to snot all over himself. Rob started doing it, then Drama followed. I don't want to knock the breathing technique at all, I'm sure it is great and works really well for people. All I am going to say, is the three of them all lined up in a row breathing like this looked hilarious.
This scene reminded me of when Rob and Jeremy were at the top of a cliff in season one when they were going to go zip lining for the first time. Jeremy did this weird breathing technique to get himself ready and I think if I remember correctly, during the commentary they talked about how Jeremy really didn't want to explain it, it was private. I wonder if these two breathing techniques are related in any way.
Anyways, they finish the breathing class and Rob said he feels pretty good.
Rob - "At any point did the sun come through here and come on my face?"
After he said that Jeremy and Drama busted out laughing and Rob tried to save it.
Rob - "Wait, did the sun shine through here at ANY point?"
Rajshree - "No,"
Rob - "Is it called something when you're in the bright light?"
Rajshree - "Yes. Koo Koo."
This scene was so funny. I am sure you can't really understand it without watching it, so if you haven't seen the episode, just go watch and you will see what I mean. After the breathing lesson, they walked out of the house and you can hear someone sniffing. Then Rob asks Jeremy if he smells that, it smells like an old man. Sure enough, the camera pans to the road and there is an old man walking down the street. Rob ends the scene with telling Drama and Jeremy how he has incredibly good senses right now.
After the commercial we see a mechanical bull in the factory and Rob is dressed like a cowboy. He goes into Drama's office with a bunch of cowboy hats and tells him he is still on his mission to prove who is happier between Jeremy and himself. They go out into the factory and the whole Corpo crew is there again, this time wearing cowboy outfits instead of roller skates. Rob challenges everyone to see who can last the longest on the bull and Chanel hops on first. She lasted 10 seconds before being thrown off. Next was Big Cat who only lasted 6. Drama got 7, and Jeremy got 7. Next it was Rob's turn. He already had some previous bull riding experience from when he went out to Mississippi during season two of Rob and Big, so I knew he would probably be able to last the longest. Rob was able to hold on to the bull for 22 seconds!
Everyone gathered around and Rob asked for a show of hands for everyone who thinks Jeremy had a good time. Everyone raised their hand and Rob asked Jeremy if he did have a good time. Jeremy said he did and another hilarious quote from the show was born.
Rob - "Did you express joy?"
Jeremy "I had a good time. Definitely a GOOD time, but I'm going to show you a GREAT time."
For some reason when that last sentence came out of Jeremy's mouth, it had kind of a seductive tone to it and it pretty much made the scene, haha. Everyone started laughing and they all went back to work.
Next we see Jeremy call down to Rob in his office and he tells him that Sri Sri is actually sitting up there with him right now. Rob told Drama that "His Holiness" was in the building and they went upstairs.
Rob asked Sri Sri what his mission was and Sri Sri responded, "To put a smile on all those faces which have forgotten to smile."
Rob tells him that he thinks a thrill adds to life happiness and Sri Sri says he is ready to experience the thrill. Jeremy was visibly nervous about Rob taking Sri Sri to go and do some thrilling, reckless things, but that didn't stop Rob. We see Sri Sri shooting the tennis ball gun at Rob and Jeremy, playing basketball, jumping into the foam pit, driving Rob's go kart (where Drama comments that "A man in a robe should never be driving a go kart,") and then Rob takes him for a spin in the T-Rex. Sri Sri basically had the ultimate fun day at the Fantasy Factory. I am pretty sure every single Fantasy Factory fan was ridiculously jealous of Sri Sri's day. I know I was, haha.
When they got back to the factory, Sri Sri got out of the car and Rob couldn't get his seat belt to unfasten. Sri Sri reaches in to the car and says "Let me release you." With that, he is able to successfully unfasten Rob's seat belt, releasing Rob from the car.
Rob - "He just guru'd me right there,"
Jeremy told Sri Sri that he is always the one telling Rob that he shouldn't be doing all these crazy things and Sri Sri replied that he actually thinks Rob should do MORE crazy things! They go out into the lobby and Rob hugs Sri Sri and says his goodbyes. After Sri Sri leaves, Rob comments on how now he just wants to grow a beard and wear a robe every day for the rest of his life, haha.
They had a commercial break and when they came back, Big Cat brought the mini pig into Rob's office and said it was time to say bye, he was taking the pig back home. Big Cat put the cage on Rob's desk and Rob and Meaty both said bye. As Big Cat walked away with the pig, they rolled an amazing montage of Rob's happy moments with the pig. Beefy followed Big Cat all the way to the door and when Big Cat was gone, Rob called Beefy over.
Rob - "Yeah, see you're here forever cause you're so pretty! You're here forever cause you're a real pretty pig! Not some dumb, little, silly, real pig! Come on in guys, lets just hang with us. No more farm animals, we've learned our lesson with that."
The last scene of the show, Rob calls up to Jeremy's office and asks him how he is doing. Rob says he is really happy right now and he wants Jeremy to come down so he can show him something. Rob, Jeremy, Chanel, Drama and Big Cat go outside and Rob explained to them how he really had a great time with H.H. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar and he wants to be an H.H. too. Rob said from here on out, he is His Happiness Dyrdek. The camera pans up to the Dyrdek Enterprises sign on the front of the factory and we now see a brand new H.H. placed in front of the Dyrdek.
Episode 7 was another great episode. Tons of laugh out loud moments. Don't forget, this blog is not to be used as a substitute to watching the actual show! I'm sure there are a few details I missed that can only be fully appreciated by watching. If you missed it, go to mtv.com and they have the full episode up. Also, a limited number of mini pig Young and Reckless T-shirts are available at youngandreckless.com. I already ordered mine!
Next week we have TWO brand new episodes, a FULL HOUR of Fantasy Factory! In the first episode the group decides to have an awkward intervention for Big Cat. The second episode is a brand new best of and behind the scenes episode! I am very much looking forward to next week, any time Big Cat's awkwardness is addressed, it is hilarious!
