guys

, Buzzfeed's Try Guys. - I'm Matt Iseman, along with former NFL defensive end Akbar Gbajabiamila. - Look, if you have the name Try Guys, you have to believe that they will go out and do the best they can. - Well, many of the times we've talked about it it's not necessarily athletic ability. It is courage and it is determination. - (screams) No, no, no! - (laughs) I could barely keep a straight face. (dramatic music) - Ninja Warrior is one of the largest fitness competitions in the world. - I think it's about the brain.

I think physical fitness is overrated. - Everything they do seems impossible and they fail. - My therapist said that positive thinking is really important. - I don't have a chance. (dramatic music) - No matter what happens, you

guys

should be proud of yourselves and excited. - So you're saying that talent and preparation have nothing to do with this. - That's what I'm hearing. - I think you made that up. - I think most of the audience is not very familiar with the actual training involved, so they need to make sure you are up to speed before starting that course. - I started with gymnastics when I was much younger, and then moved on to snowboarding, diving, trampolining and then parkour. - Let's see...

I, I don't do anything. - Who do you think will do it better? -Just looking at them, I'll definitely have to say Jordan. - I have a complete set of skills being a former gymnast and current crossfitter. - Who is the cutest? - That has to be Eugene, in that one. He is very handsome. - Eugene could have some problem, obviously. But otherwise I think everyone else's chances are really good. - Damn, I'm doing it. (screams and laughs) - What is the secret of the fivefold steps? - Many people overlook them, and think that it is the first thing, that it is easy, and it is the opposite. - Ninja

, cat style. - I don't like the cat technique. - Do you meow when you do it? - You have to. - Meow! meow! meow! - The cat with the most adorable sound method, and it was the best. - Meow! -He's the big man with four eyes, Keith! -When you look at a guy this big, you better expect him to dominate this field. - Now that I think I can do it, it will be easy, no problem. - Once we overcome the five-fold steps, what is the second obstacle? - It is a curtain glider, to - Grab a rope, swing and land on a platform. - This trampoline is a delight, oh my! (others laugh) - I've done it. - You want to jump rope.

So you don't want to jump towards it, because then when you grab it, everything will pull you down. - No no! (laughs) - Zach has a different kind of strength. He has testicular strength. - The rope may or may not have gotten caught in my balls. But everything is okay. -And he is so serious that he does it without glasses. - It seems like it's just a walk in the park. -I would say that he runs through the park, because once you get on, he gets off completely. - I hate falling. - The entire Ninja Warrior course has a chance of falling. - Yes I know! (others laugh) - This guy has fantastic hair, it's Eugene! - I love Eugene's hair like you said, but more than that, I love this guy's speed.

He will definitely be the guy to look for. -Well, he is the American Ninja Warrior. Eugene has an advantage in that regard. - The fourth obstacle, they are inclined in different directions, but they rotate. Then you need to gain momentum, swing, grab the next one and keep swinging. - So once we pass the cubes easily, what's next? - It looks like you'll have to go from an unstable bridge to a wanderer and try to catch the other. - First of all, who here can make a stop? - Me - You have to use your arms, pull, pull, pull. - I know you think I'm not pulling, because I'm not moving. (laughs) - There you have it, wow. (growls and screams) - No, no, I can't do it, I can't do it. - I will also pose in front of him. (everyone applauds) - Now we're getting serious, the Try Guys aren't great athletes, so they recruited someone with some skill, it's Try Girl, Jordan. - We can do what the guys can do and sometimes even better than them. - And what about the deformed wall?

What advice do you have for that? - Just go fast and keep your chest up. Many people lean forward and crash into the wall. (screams) (screams) (screams) - Do you want a hug? - Yes, I want a hug. - (screams) No! - I like that slide, it was a solid slide. (applause) - Let's get ready to climb the wall! - You talk about a guy with strength in the lower part of his body. Ned is that guy and he gets it from football. -And he achieves it thanks to the support of Ned's wife. (laughter) (applause and shouts) - Eugene!

Eugene! - Well, that was a very fun day. I'm completely ready for Ninja Warrior. - Are you sure about that? - Why does it smell like cigarette butts here? It smells like straight cigarette butts. - What is the probability that you press the button? (laughs) - I think, as a team, we are a complete

. - The Try Guys are going to participate tag team style. - I think it's the first and only team these guys will have. Then each one will try an obstacle. When they reach the water, they will swap and move on. - There is one hour left until we run the course, they are still building it.

I don't feel safe, because they are still, there is a crane! - I have been practicing a lot, saying positive affirmations to myself in front of the mirror. -Zach is completely delusional, positive thinking will get him nowhere. - There is a lot of training involved. Everyone, here or there, who has been waiting in line for weeks, has been working on this for years. - I haven't done pull-ups because I don't need them. -Today my wife and her mother are coming. I better not ruin it for him. - Today is the culmination of everything, I am probably at my worst moment.

I'll fall into some water for NBC. - One, two, three, believe in yourself! - Oh! - Ned on the starting blocks, and looking at this body type, the only thing I wish he would try is a little more clothing, Akbar. -By the way, I don't like his shorts. Oh! He just bowed! He just bowed! - I like it! - Hallelujah! - Another great athlete, with a hip injury. Let's take a look at what he's doing there. Not a good start on the fivefold steps, Akbar. - You know what, it's not a strong start, and it's not a, did he just meow? -I think so, he's looking-What?! - A bit like a wounded cat here. - Wait, come on, you're a grown man now.

You can't meow on the five-fold steps. You have to attack him like a tiger! -And it definitely reminds me: spay and neuter your pets, and maybe spay and neuter Ned too. Having a little problem here, I hung up. He really seemed to enjoy that last landing on the quintuple steps, but he's done! -And he has still achieved it! - Incredible, and Zach is hugging him. This is a strange mid-term celebration. And Ned's wife! - And Ned's wife, huh. - I never thought we'd see that. -And look at the explosion here in the replay-the best angle of it is from behind, Akbar. - Let me tell you, you talk about the best gluteus maximus, minimus and medius, it comes from Ned. - But now it's time for the big man, all 6'3" or 6'9" as we can estimate. - He's 6'6", get it right. - Well, with those glasses he seems more suited to solving a math problem, but so far, a good performance from Keith, Akbar. - That's a mess, you just called him a nerd. - But now the circle slider, and perhaps the weakest of them, Zach.

A man who said positive thinking would get him through this and get him to the bell - Oh, here goes Zach. hold your L's, hold your L's, ohh! - A weak transition from Zach, not a great athletic approach Akbar - You know, that has to be one of the worst transitions I've seen on American Ninja Warrior. reach. Out there, but what do you think he's doing? Well, I'll say Keith was hoping to get wet. He said Zach hasn't showered in a while. There he is, it smells better - Look at that, offering the support of the Try Guys. brothers all the way - But now Eugene, trying to tackle the tilting table - This is the man we were waiting for.

This is the most spectacular thing, here it is, right there. See you, go ahead! - Oh, and through it! And Justin Bieber's hair doesn't stop him! - You'll feel it tomorrow. - A strong blow and now we get serious. The Try Guys, look at that stumble and the determination to overcome it, Akbar. - That's the best thing about athletics. Although he has internal bleeding, he managed to pull through, I'm impressed. - Well, Jordan is about to jump into the basket shot and Akbar, this will be a difficult approach for her. And look how she holds on! -Oh, she just went into the air up there!

I see you Air Jordan! - I can see why they chose her and not Zach for this. Look at that transition, great body control from Jordan. But now in a little piece of no man's land. - You have to use all the cores here. Jordan, if there's ever a core move, right now, you have to do it. Take that jump, take that jump. - You need to reach it. Oh! She is wet and Jordan falls wet, Akbar. Great choice of words when Jordan ends up in the water. And now, Keith in the hourglass fall. Well, expect big things from Keith. -Yes, I mean he's a big guy. - Six feet three inches Keith.

I think he has a great opportunity. -He is 6'6", first of all. -6'7", I think he will grow with each story, although it is very difficult-What! You have to be able to hold on! Look, you saw, she couldn't even do two jumps! - That may have been one of the quickest flops we've ever seen. Let's take a look now, the warped wall, the last obstacle! 14 feet and we're back to Ned. He tries to make the boys amazingly successful. Will they be able to overcome this emblematic obstacle? -Very well, he is just testing the warped wall, this is a veteran move. - 14 feet against Eugenio. - I can feel it.

I'm literally sweating right now. This is the power of visualization. You've seen it, now do it. - I think I can build the locomotive, oh! One last try for Ned. - You are the Try Guys, this is the time you have to try. - I haven't seen Ned this bad since I saw him in lingerie. He reaches the top and explodes, last try! - Oh! No! - Going down, one slide and it's over for Ned. Well, even Zach was disappointed in Ned, and that's saying a lot. Now it all comes down to this, Eugene. One last try for the Try Guys, 14 feet! - There it is, there it is!

This kid has done it! - Oh, that movement there is important, prime time, of all time! - I'm literally sweating right now, see? - I mean, you're sweating profusely and I think what we just saw is one of the greatest performances in American Ninja Warrior history. He broke every rule we have but I loved him. - Look at this, they're going crazy! - They look like teenage girls who just watched NSYNC, what was that celebration? - I don't know. - I'm ashamed of them, but they did it! The Try Guys are American

warriors. - The relay team, where it was okay to advance even if you failed, did the route. - If you could always move forward after failing, life would be great. - Yeah! - That's a great positive attitude, right Zach? - My therapist was wrong, positive thinking is nonsense. - I prefer to watch it on television while I eat six frozen pizzas. - Seeing this pinnacle of achievement is very inspiring.

I can see how people dedicate their lives to this. - I am very motivated and I will return next year. - What will we try next? - Do you want a towel? - Yeah. - Well, that's an amazing start to the season of American Ninja Warrior. The Try Guys have proven that they are good guys, Akbar. - Work hard or go home. - One of the most amazing things about having these Try Guys here is seeing them with so little athletic training and seeing how much they have actually tackled in their experience, from UFC fights to stripping. (laughs) - I think that's the bottom line.
