00:00These directions make no sense.
00:02These directions are wrong.
00:07I just fear that I've completely f***ed this.
00:16You guys have 30 minutes to build this shelf while I ask you questions.
00:20Have you guys ever done anything like this before?
00:22Assemble an Urdfassen?
00:23Oh, yeah.
00:24The Kalex, that's the Kalex. I thought it was the Urdfassen.
00:27Okay, this is also a very nice unit.
00:29It's the Swedish for go f*** yourself.
00:31Okay.
00:32Your time starts now.
00:34The clock is ticking, Rob.
00:35Okay, here we go.
00:37Bakers, you have 30 minutes.
00:38We have to make sure that we have these tools.
00:41If I had a hammer, we have that, we have this.
00:43Do you guys think your relationship is going to survive this?
00:47We've put together worse.
00:50We've done many things together.
00:51Rob has performed minor surgery on my daughter.
00:53Just an appendix.
00:55No big deal.
00:56I'm taking this very seriously.
00:58Your playground is in the middle.
01:01Got it.
01:02Our what?
01:02Your playground.
01:03It's in the middle.
01:05Oh, God.
01:06We've got to get in the middle, Rob.
01:08Look.
01:08It's like a breakdancing circle, but neither of us know how to do any dancing.
01:11So there's two units.
01:13Aha.
01:14Do you know what real IKEA assemblage pros do?
01:18They take one screw, and they throw that motherfucker away.
01:23That's how you know you know what you're doing.
01:25Okay.
01:25I will see you do that.
01:26Because you can still get that sucker up and running.
01:29There's a real reason we're doing this, too.
01:31Yes!
01:31It's for Sophie.
01:33It's for Sophie.
01:33Yeah.
01:33Our DP's little daughter.
01:35She's one.
01:35Yes.
01:36Because there's nothing one-year-old girls love more than a Kallax.
01:39I do feel a sense of responsibility.
01:41Look at these.
01:42They've got two guys looking at each other.
01:44One's got a...
01:45Here, I'll be the one with the pencil in his ear.
01:47Yeah.
01:47Okay.
01:48No, that's a Allen wrench or key.
01:51Put this together.
01:53Mm-hmm.
01:53Right?
01:54Yeah.
01:54I don't know what that is.
01:56Hold on.
01:56Hold on.
01:56Hold on.
01:57Okay.
01:57This is...
01:58What the fuck is this?
02:00These are two separate units?
02:02That is to build the drawers.
02:03You're building one of those.
02:05Okay.
02:05So, I say we build the big one first, then the drawers?
02:09I think you're absolutely right.
02:10Okay.
02:11Oh!
02:11Oh!
02:12That helps to see that these are two separate...
02:14Yes, yes, yes, yes.
02:15Fuckers!
02:15That's what really got me busted in the head there.
02:18Okay, okay.
02:18All right.
02:19Good.
02:19So, that...
02:20Okay.
02:21So, we want to go with a base first.
02:23Base is right there.
02:23I thought that was one big thing.
02:25Well, that...
02:26No.
02:26Flip it over.
02:27You see?
02:27Mm-hmm.
02:31So, listen...
02:32Look at this.
02:33You see?
02:33We're gonna go here.
02:34Uh-huh.
02:34Shelving units here.
02:36Uh-huh.
02:36Right?
02:37Uh-huh.
02:37Okay.
02:38But this has no holes in the outside, so this is gonna be on the outside.
02:40This is gonna...
02:41Yeah, but you're looking for this, right?
02:44Yeah.
02:45Got it.
02:45Yeah.
02:46So, here, here, and here?
02:47Yeah, but this mofo here is putting the drawers together, it looks like, first.
02:51Why would he do that?
02:53Hold on.
02:54That's the bottom?
02:56Okay.
02:56Okay.
02:56And then this is going to be...
02:59No.
03:01No.
03:03Uh-uh.
03:06Okay.
03:06Can I have that Allen key that is in your ear?
03:10This one?
03:10Unless...
03:10Nope.
03:11I got one.
03:11Never mind.
03:12Looks like it.
03:13Now, in Canada, it's an Allen key.
03:16Here, it's an Allen wrench, right?
03:17Yes, Allen wrench.
03:19But...
03:20They both going through here.
03:22Why you guys never became a global superpower?
03:25Uh, Sweden?
03:27No.
03:27Yes.
03:28America.
03:28We're doing just one.
03:30Heck of a national anthem.
03:31Between the two of you, who usually takes the lead?
03:34Takes the lead?
03:35The lead?
03:37We actually are very good at sort of delegating who's gonna take the lead in a certain area.
03:43Or Avenue?
03:44Yeah.
03:44And the other one takes...
03:45Yeah.
03:46We work really well together.
03:47I'm happy to give direction.
03:48I'm happy to take direction.
03:49I actually really love taking direction.
03:51Yeah.
03:52Because that's a nice feeling sometimes.
03:53Especially if you trust the person, you know, dispensing it.
03:57Yes.
03:57I trust Rob implicitly.
03:58But where I'm missing what you're doing here.
04:00Uh-huh.
04:01So bottom...
04:02This is the power bottom.
04:03So if you...
04:04So I have got the top.
04:06I'm unscrewing this enough to get re-screwed.
04:10Which is fun to say.
04:12What the fuck?
04:15But...
04:15Yes, this is...
04:16Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
04:17That's it.
04:17So we're gonna go...
04:18Right?
04:18Nope.
04:18That way.
04:18This way.
04:19Yeah.
04:21Sides.
04:22Yes.
04:23Yep.
04:23Here and here.
04:24Yeah.
04:24If you...
04:25Well, no.
04:25If you hold this, just this one on first.
04:27Oh, I gotcha.
04:27I'm gonna kind of get this sucker in.
04:30Uh-huh.
04:30This is a subplot to Deadpool 1, though.
04:32Is assembling IKEA furniture.
04:34Blind Al, who's my elderly blind roommate.
04:37Um, she has to assemble IKEA furniture.
04:40I've never seen any of those movies.
04:42I've...
04:42No, I've never...
04:43I've seen every single episode of...
04:44Could you...
04:44Actually, could you walk...
04:45It's always sunny.
04:45All 612 of them.
04:47We did see the first one.
04:48I did not...
04:49I thought it was a superhero movie, so I watched it with my kids.
04:52Oh.
04:52No.
04:53No.
04:53And we got to the, uh...
04:54Oh.
04:56Morena, who's a good friend of the family.
04:58Morena's the best.
04:59Yeah.
04:59There is a pretty randy scene we have together.
05:02I'll do the hard work.
05:03Oh, look at this.
05:04Rob.
05:05Rob.
05:05But wait.
05:06Maybe I should put together the drawers while you're doing it.
05:08Yeah, exactly.
05:09We only have 30 minutes to do this, and little Sophie's counting us.
05:12Now we realize that we can...
05:13We can...
05:14We can switch so that I...
05:16We can put together...
05:18Wow.
05:19... drawers separately.
05:20If I were in charge of, like, the last episode of Lost,
05:22it would just be this.
05:25Can I see a drawer?
05:26I can't even see a drawer.
05:29It must be really hard for you to not have white glove service doing this for you.
05:34I love this shit.
05:35I just don't love the...
05:37The time pressure, because Sophie's going to be so bad.
05:40Cool.
05:41We all know Sophie can really fly off the handle.
05:43She can throw, she can rage.
05:44The anger issues, once she gets into the bottles, right?
05:48I mean...
05:48How that works.
05:50Okay, hold on.
05:51I think Jack's going to go off because I'm getting sweaty.
05:53Which one of you would you guys say is more patient?
05:57Ryan.
05:59But also that works to our advantage a lot when running a football club.
06:04Because Rob will kind of be more reactionary.
06:09Whereas I kind of tend to sort of sit back and go like,
06:12Okay, let's just let's just let it play out.
06:14Let's sort of have a sober second thought on this and think about this, you know, react later.
06:20And his kind of, when he gets a little bit more fired up, it sometimes draws us into real action.
06:27Like, you know, I don't think we'd have Sam Smith had you not said,
06:30I can play better than these motherfuckers.
06:33I didn't say that.
06:35I said that.
06:35These directions make no sense.
06:38Like how fucking hard would it be to just make this assembled?
06:43No, well...
06:44No, really.
06:45I think it's part of the fun.
06:46I would love some of the cost saving analysis.
06:47I think it's getting men to feel like men or getting them to emasculate themselves.
06:54It's part of the process.
06:55I do not feel very masculine or celebratory of that right now.
06:58I feel sort of...
06:59It's halfway point.
07:00There is no way.
07:01Oh yeah, there is a way.
07:02Because the...
07:03Excuse me, how are we...
07:04We're gonna fucking do this, Mac.
07:06We're doing it.
07:07But, once again, I've been failed by the directions and I'm gonna blame somebody and something else.
07:13Mm-hmm.
07:13And Caitlin, if she was here, would say, this is the part where he blames the directions.
07:17Instead of just intuitively looking at it and trying to build it, I'm trying to look at these directions which
07:23are for a different piece of furniture.
07:25Do you know how fast Blake and Caitlin would make this into a furniture?
07:30What is that?
07:30That is not the piece of furniture we're building and yet it's telling me that that's what we're building.
07:33Yep, that's wish fulfillment right there.
07:36Okay.
07:37I have a legitimate question.
07:39These are not drawers.
07:40No.
07:41That's the drawers instructions that you're looking at.
07:44These?
07:45Flip to the next.
07:46Yep.
07:46Flip to the next page.
07:47But the next page shows this.
07:51Yep.
07:51Those are all of your tools that you're gonna need for your thing.
07:54Now the next page.
07:56It's this.
07:57It's this.
07:59So, that is not a drawer.
08:02You left the sandbox.
08:03You left the sandbox.
08:04I know.
08:04Does that mean he's out?
08:06Does that mean he's out?
08:06Page one.
08:07Like a wrestling match, right?
08:09Is gonna be the box of stuff with Ryan.
08:11You're out.
08:11You left.
08:12Sweep the leg, Johnny.
08:13Now I understand.
08:15It's meant to confuse andâŚ
08:19You have the right tools in your hand.
08:22The, um, that little gray screw is gonna go in theâŚ
08:28Yes.
08:29In here?
08:29Nope.
08:30It goes into theâŚ
08:31The drawer.
08:32The top drawer.
08:33With the double holes.
08:35The top hole.
08:35Yep.
08:36Nope.
08:38Sorry.
08:38The other hole.
08:39The top hole.
08:40Yep.
08:40Put it in there.
08:41This is top?
08:42Yes.
08:43Screw it in there.
08:44And you're gonna do the exact same thing on the other side.
08:46Where?
08:46This?
08:47Yep.
08:48In which one?
08:49The other what?
08:51The other hole.
08:52The other hole.
08:52The other hole.
08:58There you go.
08:59And nowâŚ
09:01Yeah.
09:02I wanna start over.
09:08I finally got to this on page five.
09:11Hmm.
09:12Page five is a doozy.
09:14Which of your players would be the most helpful right now?
09:18UhâŚ
09:18Well, former players.
09:19Stephen Fletcher.
09:20I bet that guy could probably just give us a dirty look.
09:23Oh, no.
09:23SamâŚ
09:25Max Kluwerth is a bit of a carpenter.
09:27Really?
09:27So is Rob Layton.
09:28Wow.
09:29Rob Layton.
09:30Oh, yeah.
09:30Rob Layton.
09:32Those are real men.
09:33Macho.
09:34Okay.
09:36Yeah.
09:37It's nice to take the carpal tunnel for a spin.
09:39Yeah.
09:40Oh, that's right.
09:41You footin' a doubtfire, dear.
09:43Feeling pretty good about this, Rob.
09:45Ten minutes left.
09:46No way.
09:49No way.
09:51I'm going for the center.
09:52Okay, I got it.
09:52I got it.
09:53Have I cocked this up already?
09:55I did, didn't I?
09:57I did.
09:57Wait.
09:58But I could maybe save it.
09:59Hold on.
10:01No, I can't.
10:06Okay.
10:07Sophie's going to want to not put her weight on this.
10:10Right?
10:10That we're going toâŚ
10:11I can't leave until this is done.
10:13I will not sleep.
10:14I'll pray for you.
10:15Yeah, it's not something I'm proud of.
10:17It'sâŚ
10:18It's, uhâŚ
10:20Okay.
10:21Okay.
10:21Ryan, what's going on with the shelf there?
10:23Uh, well, I'm just jacking it right up.
10:25Just, uh, couldn't, uh, couldn't fuck this thing harder,
10:28uh, really from the whole get-go.
10:30Would you prefer if Hugh Jackman were here with you
10:33as opposed to maybe other partners?
10:34All show, no go, Hugh.
10:37Yeah.
10:37No, no.
10:38He would probably just cry, right, at this point.
10:41He'd be crying.
10:43Rob has almost a full drawer done.
10:44Yeah, full drawer, butâŚ
10:46Yeah, but I have this impressive, yet non-functional, uh, square.
10:49So, you know, let's, that's, uh, let's, uh, hop off, uh, Rob's, uh, magic, uh, biceps
10:56for a second, would we?
10:57And, uh, let's check in with reality here.
10:59Okay, so this goes here.
11:01Oh, God.
11:02Okay.
11:02I just fear that I've completely fucked this,
11:04and I'm gonna have to take this top off, aren't I?
11:06Does it count that it looks right?
11:09I feel like I don't have time to take the top off, but I'm going to.
11:12Yeah, you gotta do it right.
11:14Ah, yeah.
11:14There we go.
11:16Shit.
11:19Fuck.
11:20Couldn't have said something while I was, uh, in the middle of this, you know?
11:24You know, when I was 18, I left a bar, and I, I'd had a beer, you know?
11:30And I walked back, and I looked at my car for a second, and I thought,
11:32you know what, I'm not gonna drive anywhere, even if it's four blocks home.
11:37Absolutely not.
11:37And, uh, so instead, I turned around, started to cross the street,
11:40and I was run over by a drunk driver.
11:43That was the last time I Y-gotted as much as this.
11:46Did you get run over by a drunk driver?
11:50After making a firmly positive and wise decision for a young 18-year-old male.
11:58Spent four weeks in the hospital.
12:00What?
12:01Oh, yeah.
12:02How am I not here?
12:03Oh, yeah.
12:03The first time I've heard that.
12:04Broke every bone on my left side.
12:06He hit me so hard, his car was not operational.
12:10Wow.
12:10Yeah.
12:11Very bad.
12:12You were- you were-
12:13Thank Dr. Meek in Vancouver General Hospital for putting me back together so kindly.
12:17Ah, socialized medicine.
12:18He couldn't say no.
12:20Oh, that was in Canada?
12:21Oh, yeah.
12:22Vancouver.
12:23You know, since we're kind of in this frame of mind, what is the best lesson you've learned
12:26from something that didn't go how you planned?
12:29Nothing ever goes how you planned.
12:30I think.
12:31Like, right?
12:32It's the old Chinese proverb.
12:33Who knows what's good or bad?
12:35Five-minute mark.
12:36No!
12:36No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
12:39I'm the one who's screwed us here.
12:42Not you.
12:42I've- I went with show over go, and look.
12:45Yeah.
12:46It looks great.
12:46No, I have to take it apart because this has to go in before.
12:50The lid goes on.
12:52God was like, no, I'm just going to keep on driving after these eight beers.
12:57See what happens.
12:58Oh, look.
13:00Skin covered pylon.
13:01Okay.
13:10Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
13:13That's normal.
13:13That's-
13:14That's normal, Sophie.
13:16We're Ryan and Rob and we don't read.
13:19Not readers.
13:20There's no way this can-
13:22Can we?
13:22Why?
13:23How does that work?
13:26Also, like-
13:27Yes.
13:29That's not good.
13:29Like, you know-
13:31Feed into your anger.
13:33No, but it's just-
13:33Sidebar.
13:35What the fuck do you think gets that in here?
13:41Uh, like, is there a magic screw?
13:44Oh, I bet it's-
13:44Three minutes.
13:45Oh, come on.
13:50I threw one of your screws away, and then I brought it back.
13:54I love you.
13:55I love you.
13:58Okay, I'm just a little Sophie.
14:01I barely knew you.
14:02Gah!
14:08I think whatever we wind up with in the end, we have to give to the little girl.
14:12I think it'd be great if I had to do it in person.
14:14And watch her cry.
14:15Quick little house call.
14:16Brian, you've got one minute to get that side on.
14:18I believe in you.
14:19One minute!
14:20I could blow 30 seconds right now giving you like a limerick.
14:23I won't though, because I don't know one.
14:25But-
14:28I know, but according to the photo, this is where I call Caitlin in and I say,
14:35Can you look at the instructions and tell me that I'm right, please?
14:40Just tell me that I'm right, that they got these wrong.
14:42And she says, sweetie, whatever it is that you need to hear, I'll say so I can leave the room.
14:48Because you live in a house of lies.
14:49But I'm telling you these-
14:51These directions are wrong.
14:54Ow.
14:55Watch.
14:56Dammit.
14:5810 seconds.
15:0010 seconds.
15:01We got this, Rob.
15:01We got this.
15:02There's no way.
15:03I'm not kidding.
15:04He's not leaving.
15:07And five, four, three, two, one.
15:13Pencils down.
15:13Bakers, put down your-
15:15Okay.
15:15Can you guys stand up and present your work, please?
15:19No.
15:20You can't make me.
15:21Can you guys look little Sophie in the eye and say with confidence that this isn't just the first of
15:27so many disappointments authored by both of you?
15:30How do you feel about each other right now?
15:32I love this now.
15:33Oh, I love-
15:33I actually do love this.
15:34Genuinely.
15:35I'm not that amazing.
15:36Yeah.
15:36Joke, nothing.
15:36I happen to love Rob Mack.
15:39Yeah.
15:39All my heart.
15:40Always have, always will.
15:41Rob, what would you do differently next time?
15:44Uh, I would give it- I would give it an hour.
15:48I would give it an hour.
15:50I'd cheat.
15:52Watch a video or something.
15:54I'm- that makes me nervous.
15:56I just want to make sure it's safe for little Sophie.
15:58I'm little Sophie.
15:59Do you see?
16:00I mean, that is- that is buckling.
16:02No, that's okay.
16:03Yeah, we're-
16:04Are you kidding me?
16:05I wouldn't engineer something with-
16:06That's the best boss you live in the world.
16:07That would be dangerous for a one-year-old child.
16:10I would.
16:10I probably would.
16:11So guys, this is what it's supposed to look like.
16:13Uh-huh.
16:16What do you think?
16:17Well, I think that-
16:19I feel like we got pretty close here.
16:21A little more time we got.
16:22You know, like, uh, look.
16:24A little drawer, uh, knob right there.
16:27Uh, uh.
16:27This is humbling, though, because, like, you can't-
16:30You know, you should be a-
16:31You know, you're a smart guy.
16:32Someone put me in that-
16:33That's not that smart.
16:34That's not that smart.
16:35This just turned into an intervention.
16:36Uh, I mean-
16:39I have to at least build one drawer, and then I can be done.
16:43But-
16:43Right?
16:44I'm coming.
