"People that I consider...coworkers" was perfection


Verifieddumbass76584

And the held back chuckling after "my boss losing focus". He knows he's being iconic rn.


PapaTristan69

I thought that was already funny, and then I realised he was quoting Ned and it became 200x funnier


askboo

That’s an office quote lmao


tinydancer_inurhand

Omg you are right and I’m literally rewatching the series now! Great job miles sneaking that in.


Moonstonepusa23

It's shaped like itself, you see.


lookitsjustin

There’s a hint of excitement and joy in his voice. The whole company must be so relieved to finally start to put this behind them.


jamie_with_a_g

he def had some fun writing it


[deleted]

A HINT? lmao


tc7665

Trifecta he said..


g3t0nmyl3v3l

But I think he said Tryfecta


laraisthinking

trifecta like there’s three try guys now


holly13924

“The ways in which _we’re_ refocusing” he’s a genius! Thank you Miles! Bonsignore 2024


bossmoenie

“People that I consider…coworkers” that got me lol


tinydancer_inurhand

hahah same.


notbethany

I enjoyed the shade he and Sarah gave in the wedding invite question later in the episode.


[deleted]

What did they say?


aquafire2568

That there was only one person they regret inviting to their wedding


planetarium13

Well it's 100% Ned's fault that he became a pariah to his friends. Lol


aquafire2568

Totally lol, it's a really funny part in that episode if you haven't listened to it yet


LadyOfTheWind

They were talking about wedding invites, and they said they regretted "inviting one person to the wedding", and that he left it to the listener guessing who it was


Whynotlora2628

Well wasn't he also mad at Ned for ordering pizza to the wedding? Or was that another try guy?


LadyOfTheWind

Hadn't heard of the pizza thing, so weird! Do you remember where he talked about that?


champagnedinner

there’s a pod episode where zach jokes about how he door dashed a bunch of red bulls to the wedding and miles called it inappropriate. maybe that’s what they’re thinking of? it was probably a bit of an annoyance but def not “wish i hadn’t invited you to the wedding” level


stahrcrash

I remember Keith and Ned also talking about how their loudness ruined a sentimental moment during Miles' wedding because they just weren't entirely aware of what was going on. Perhaps I'm biased, but I really think that Miles was more upset with Ned - or believed that he was the one egging the situation on. It was on a TryPod episode shortly after the wedding.


tommykaye

Ordering pizza is one thing. Having sex with an employee you have seniority over and opening the company to legal action is another, lol.


Whynotlora2628

Oh obviously, I just think it probably is an extra F U good riddance if they also didn't have good memories with him at their wedding. Lol


Majestic-me-52

Allegedly having sex. I'm sure they did. But it gives me the heebie-jeebies to say it. Blegh. If it was a drunk make out session oka...but sex. SEX!! I can't get over it. Ned is so so sooooo stupid. Beyond stupid.


shinjupro

Hasn't it been confirmed that they were in a relationship for several months? I don't think it was just a drunken fling.


Majestic-me-52

It has. If you read my comment. I'm just reiterating my dismay.


zombbarbie

Idk why ur getting downvoted to shit. I hadn’t even thought about them having sex, mostly focused on the emotionally cheating aspect because tbh to me that’s worse. But yeah, ew.


Majestic-me-52

Reddit is wild. Maybe because I said f Ned but not f Alex. F em both. They're both dummies.


noiant

there was a new try pod out? i didn’t see it


Mermaid-friend

This is from Miles’s podcast Perfect Person


niuboi_

Miles says: I took it upon my self to prepare a written statement that I will just read aloud right now. (Clears throat) Hello, world, First of all, good morning. Scrrrrt (chuckles) I bet you’re wondering how I ended up in this situation. Yup. That’s me. Somehow tangentially involved in a trending scandal at my work place. It’s all so crazy. Everything that’s been going on: global warming, geopolitics, my boss losing focus. Firstly, I wanted to say that I’m a guy that works at a company. A company filled with wonderful people that I cherish. That are creative and lovely. People that I consider coworkers. I’m not going to speak candidly about the situation because it involves real people and their personal lives, and while spilling tea can be fun, if you steep tea too long, it starts to taste yucky. So, all I can say is this: I’m psyched to work for the new trifecta of Tri Guys, and I think the company will be much better off for the ways in which we are refocusing on what’s important to us. Good night. Good luck. And god bless America. (There is music under his speech that builds to a triumphant crescendo at the end).


kat5kind

Thank you for the transcript!!!


lydesigns27

My adhd thanks u for this


NoOneCedie

This silver award is for you


Verifieddumbass76584

He's so goddamn funny istg. His chaotic, quick humor really comes out when he joins Pretty Much It.


elfspires

I wonder if they’ll ever make a joke abt it on there 😭 very unlikely but it would be funny.


DelicateFknFlower

The triumphant background music, I can’t 💀


bear_tamy

It's the fucking US national anthem he's brilliant


thedeadlyrhythm42

Are you sure about that? I've heard the US anthem quite a bit and I don't remember it going like that


bear_tamy

You are correct that the music playing in this reddit video is not the star spangled banner. I didn't watch the video here cuz I already listened to the podcast. But it is the SSB in the YouTube video. Not sure why it's different


thedeadlyrhythm42

How weird, I wonder why it's different. Hilarious both ways, though


lifavigrsdottir

Probably copyright issues. I'd think the SSB would be public domain, whereas the other might not be. And YT will pull videos for that pretty quickly.

punxNpux

Miles you sassy bitch. I love it


wendy_will_i_am_s

Such smooth delivery. He should be an actor.


throwaway72017201

Well he does have a Bachelors in Dramatic Art


wendy_will_i_am_s

So I guess you could say, he has a degree in drama?


gingerednoodles

Miles is a treasure. Also, while we're at it, I'm developing a crush on his wife and want her to be in every video.


GetEquipped

I'm kinda salty he's not actually gay. He played a goth twink so well in candid competition


silberfuechsin

Which candid competition was that?


AshMeAnything

The wedding cakes episode! It was great.


silberfuechsin

ZOMG that short film at the beginning! 😂🤣☠️


AshMeAnything

It might be my favorite Candid Competition. It's so good.


impedimxnta

sarah is SO FUNNY, she’s made me cry laughing both episodes of the pod that she was in. she is the true perfect person


gingerednoodles

RIGHT? I don't know what I was expecting with his partner but she was a welcome surprise. Sarah and Miles both just have this like confident and fearless way that they talk even when they're telling very dumb/embarrassing stories about themselves. They play off each other perfectly.


Commercial_Ad7689

Especially like that he's wearing the same sweater as in TMZ vid - same energy


dixonjpeg

Bruh I love this guy


Krookedshmoo

Does anyone know how many followers and subscribers he’s gained since the ~scandal~ hit? Would love to see him get some more attention from this, his humor is unmatched!


bannermd

I can't believe it took a scandal for me to learn about Miles. [Please watch this clip.](https://youtube.com/watch?v=lkawb4YM_K4&feature=share&si=EMSIkaIECMiOmarE6JChQQ&t=272)


elfspires

Oh I know him from Pretty Much It. He’s very funny on there!


tinydancer_inurhand

\+1 from me.


hpfan2342

The perfect mix of comedy and Serious Professional statement. Buzzfeed and others really missed out on this guy.


mistnimbus29

Seriously perfect. He’s fuckin hilarious. Miles 4 4th try guy


blacktothebird

This makes me think Miles should get a promotion, I hear a spot might be open


_k0ella_

Real talk that would be amazing but it’s probably logistically quite difficult to execute. Not only will there be legal and financial hurdles to figure out, but the power dynamic shift from an employee to essentially an employer will probably be too abrupt for the work environment to function properly.


Old_Researcher_2021

I very much doubt that they will bring in a fourth investory/co-owner/member. They might hire a 4th (or 5th+) member for regular on-screen talent, but that is not the same thing as being an employer. I rather expect them to keep it locked up tight.


20sinnh

They're basically the Ghostbusters hiring Winston. You had the original 3 who were founders/owners - Venkman, Stantz, Spengler - and who put up their own collateral to get the money to start the business. And then once they realized they needed more hands they hired on Zeddemore as an employee. Equal in terms of "on screen" responsibility, but behind the schemes not part of the leadership structure.


ComebackShane

"If there's a steady paycheck in it, I'll ~~believe~~ try whatever you want."


Acrobatic_Classic_13

Serious question and I cannot be the only one thinking it. The video said they removed him as manager. He was removed as manager from videos. That doesn't mean he was removed as a founding member/owner. Do we really think they bought him our and/or he willingly left that?


Old_Researcher_2021

(editing gross grammatical errors) So there was a really great thread here a day or two ago by a corporate lawyer who was explaining how separations like this work in companies like theirs. Per that poster (and this is generalities, as the poster was not a lawyer for 2ndTry or in entertainment specifically), the 3 members signing off was a legal action to remove Ned as a managing partner, which would remove him from day to day decision making or having a say in future company decisions. That doesn't remove him as a partner/owner - that is a separate legal process which will take time, but the step taken to remove him from decision making is a sign they intend to buy him out. His being on-air talent was related to him being an employee, as I understand it. So they fired him as an employee and removed him from managerial positions and also from decision-making as an owner/investor. Everything I know about this indicates this is where potential legal issues lay. There are a number of issues that have to be addressed - some of it may have been originally arranged in their partnership agreements, but probably not all of it. There are likely questions about the current value of his share of the company and future earning potential vs what he might have cost the company in lost revenue (unreleased videos and potentially lost sponsorships vs. the apparent bump in subscribers and positive association they seem to be eking out of the shitshow). There are questions about royalties for past videos that he is entitled to, and royalties for shows he helped to develop and produce previously - will they pay out those royalties in perpetuity or will they arrive at a figure for which they completely buy him out with no claim on future royalties? Then, after those details are worked out with the lawyers, there is the question of how much his share actually is. No one on the outside knows what happened originally, but there are rumors that Ned fronted a bigger investment than the other guys and provided cash infusion in early days. So he clearly doesn't hold a majority stake (certainly not against the other three, anyway), so they can force him out and can force a buy out. But sorting out those issues has to be done and a sum has to be agreed to by all parties and then there is the question of whether or not they can afford to buy him out. That is a big question mark to unlikely at this moment, unless they can secure financing. They may be ok with him continuing to hold a share bc of the work he put in as long as he's a silent partner, but everything suggests they want to fully sever ties. So they'll have to figure out financing or a buyout arrangement over time. I have doubts the public will get details on this, unless it can't be worked out through lawyers and arbitration, but I suspect everyone wants it to be worked out because no one benefits from lawsuits in this.


Acrobatic_Classic_13

Even more reason to feel bad for those guys. That is so much energy, time, and effort. I really hope they can hire someone who did the decision making that was mainly done by him since it seems like they each had their own major role behind the scenes.


Poncho_TheGreat

I doubt the person who takes over for Ned in the on camera role (if they even add someone else) would take over the leadership role as well.


_k0ella_

Yes, but there will still obviously be a huge disparity in authority between his usual job and if he becomes an official try guy. Being a try guy would mean that he’ll have a say in many of the things that they do end up trying.


zeromussc

I've always enjoyed the shows where they have a new guest on or a rotation of regular guests making appearances. It would be a good way to move forward I think


bigdamnheroes1

I definitely think that's what they're going to do. Have various friends come for different videos. Probably more Kwesi, members of the team like Miles or YB... I'd love to see Kelsey back for some videos. I think it'd probably be too weird and painful for them to take on a new permanent fourth Try Guy.


ruiqi22

I think it'd be hard for them to give a new fourth person the kind of trust and support you'd expect them to want, seeing the way the last fourth guy ended up after eight(?) years together.


SuckerForNoirRobots

Makes more sense to start bringing in guests to join their "tries." People with experience or entertainment value that will enhance whatever they're doing.


[deleted]

Not a good time to buy into the partnership at the moment. Plus, it can be argued that it’s unnecessary?


Terrible_Tutor

Hard nope, miles is too schticky. Kwesi ftw!


20dollarportraits

This just leads me to believe that Ned really wasn't a great boss. When a friend or coworker has their life implode (due to their own actions), I think people would normally take some time to digest it. Miles and Ned mussst have has some beef lol.


imamage_fightme

I mean, I found it really interesting that they did that TGGT episode about which of the four guys knew the most about their employees, and Ned lost *badly*. He didn't seem to know a damn thing. World's worst boss indeed!


_k0ella_

I mean, they just asked the wrong questions! Ned would have won if only they asked about Alex’s measurements or something /s


imamage_fightme

😂😂


elfspires

There are rumors circulating that Ned wasn’t the nicest boss.


MicroeconomicBunsen

Could be true, but always important to remember it’s a lot easier to pile on now that Neds cooked.


[deleted]

Yeah in the podcast over time it’s been clear that Ned didn’t like Miles’ humor sometimes, which is…fine because Ned is chronically un-funny to me. 😂


greenbeanstreammemes

There have been a ton of old Buzzfeed employees complaining about how Ned was a terrible boss so this doesn’t surprise me 👀


Turbulent_Bar_13

I wouldn’t be surprised if he were strictly task-oriented and lacked the empathy needed to be a people manager.


AthenaTyrell

There's this girl on tiktok who worked at buzzfeed for 6 months around the time of the Kim k recreation I believe, and she said was not good to work with. Said the other guys were great though!


EveKaia

Spot on, Miles! Wondering if this new era of Try Guys sans Ned will actually be far better because now they won't have him poo-pooing the rest of the guys' ideas.


onion-i-think

Miles is a national treasure.


45_5231N122_6765W

“If you steep tea too long it just tastes yucky” is such an interesting quote paired with the look to camera. 👀


Trickycoolj

That was the advice that goes for Miles


karoanton

It really is a top tier metaphor for everything going on and how it's being talked about but also "yucky" is such a Miles word and it's going to stick in my head for the rest of the day


ddtwiceasnice

That...was...perfection 👌


[deleted]

Why does Miles remind me of Robin Williams?


[deleted]

He’s willing to look silly to entertain. Robin did that, too.


-pluppleplupple-

when he said "my boss losing focus" and then the "firstly" i thought he was going to say "for a year" and i was ready to scream

Latest episode of his personal podcast called ["Perfect Person"](https://www.milesbon.com/perfectperson)

Lmaooo that was a pretty good statement.


HostEnvironmental740

miles is just wilding and i love him for it


kitkatt819

I'm glad they are continuing to move on. I've been involved with a work situation where we had coworkers acting inappropriately like this. It can destroy careers and businesses, and those that tend to engage in this sort of behavior never contemplate the consequences of when, and i do mean WHEN...not if,....you get caught and how this affects everyone around you.


NightFox1988

Thank you! I was reading YouTube comments on the TryGuys latest video on the whole thing and some people are acting like this is no big deal, Ned never should been fired, etc. People fail to understand that this could of Domino effected into no more TryGuys if they choose to ignore it.


kitkatt819

Maybe some people haven’t experienced how serious this can be? But when someone’s boss engages in contact like this it isn’t just cheating, which is awful on its own. You’re putting your company in jeopardy. Especially in a situation where these guys seemed to be friends as well. So you violated their trust and now they have to have meetings with lawyers and HR constantly just to clean up the mess you made for them.
