01x02 - Raising Awareness

[bunniefuu]

[dramatic music playing]

[seagulls cooing]

Sixty-nine. Number 69, ready. Sixty-nine.

What do we do?

[JT] We got to move.

We're totally burnt in California.

Where? Like Madrid?

I've never heard of it,

but is it on the water?

Yeah.

[JT] Nice.

What?

[JT] I think Mia Toretto is here.

Yeah.

[Strider] In their lowest moment, the guys

have been sent a sign from the universe.

Mia Toretto from The Fast and the Furious.

[fans speaking indistinctly]

[JT] She's coming over.

Play it cool. Play it cool.

[Chad] How do you do that?

Sorry, I I just wanted

to say I'm a really big fan.

Um, I really love your work. Okay.

- Sorry.

- Oh!

Sorry.

Have a seat.

If you want.

Thank you.

That's awesome. Thank you.

Hi.

[Chad] Uh, can we ask you something?

Yeah, for sure.

Basically,

we're in kind of a massive pickle.

We just got uninvited

to this guy Zedd's Vegas rager.

It's forcing us to rethink our whole

status as activists and stokelords.

[JT] At this point, we just think

we've had a good run, but it's over.

I just think it's time to give up

the activism and do something else.

Okay, clearly there's been

some kind of misunderstanding,

and you guys have to right a wrong.

Because what do you get by giving up?

Nothing.

Your activism means a lot

to a lot of people, including me.

So please, guys, don't give up.

How badly

do you want to go to Zedd's rager?

- Really badly.

- Really badly.

All right, well,

then you have to fight for it.

So double down on our causes?

- [Mia] Yes.

- Push the stoke?

A thousand percent.

[JT] Whoa.

[Chad] You want my Corona?

- Would you like

- Yeah, I'd actually love one.

- Sweet.

- Thank you.

No way. [laughing]

[vibrant music playing]

[seagulls cooing]

[theme music playing]

I'm welcoming my friends Chad and JT.

Uh, these young guys have been

misunderstood, to say the least.

The word "boarder"

was interpreted as "border,"

without the A.

I just want to say publicly,

um, to stokenation, everyone out there,

um, our bad.

I'm deeply sorry.

People thought we were saying that we

didn't want Mexicans to come into the US,

but we don't believe that.

We think Mexicans are some

of the best skateboarders in the world.

I just want a clean slate

and an opportunity to prove

to people who we are.

We'll bring you guys

the most dank causes you have ever seen.

We'll get back in your good books.

We promise you.

Chad and JT amped their activism up to 11.

They straight up got after it.

Sir, what is your name?

What up? My name is Chad Kroeger.

Council, when I'm bummed,

I party, and I feel better for a while.

If the party's really sick though,

I feel better for longer.

A lot of ragers have made me

feel really stoked.

The ragers that truly make my froth peak,

and this is beyond debate, are on a boat.

Why is it that only people like P. Diddy,

Jeff Bezos and my uncle Ron

get to experience

the euphoria of being on a yacht?

I think I have the solution.

We need public yachts.

[vibrant music playing]

[Chad] Hey, we're with

the public-yacht initiative.

Can we talk for a sec? It's super quick.

[JT] It's recently come to our attention

that not everybody gets to party on boats.

We were wondering if you'd donate

your boat once a month for public use.

You could help a lot of people.

If you like that idea,

give me a "Hell yeah."

Thank you.

The people are on our side.

[Chad] What up, dudes?

You guys fired up on your yacht?

[cheering]

Stay stoked out there.

- Permission to speak

- We're gonna jump.

[JT] We'll keep looking.

We'll find others.

Can we come aboard?

[Chad] Ah, this is sick.

- Howdy.

- [man] Hey, guys.

- [JT] Hey, how's it going?

- [man] Not bad.

Welcome aboard.

This was built for the guy who built

the Disneyland Hotel for Walt Disney.

I love Disney.

Come in. I'll show you around if you like.

- [Chad] How's it going?

- Hello.

- This is the salon, the main living area.

- Wow.

You have a TV and living area, the bar.

We're a couple of activists. We're forming

this new public-yacht initiative.

We'd like to see yacht owners

opening their yachts to the public.

It'd be like 20 to 30 dudes or gals.

And then they'll just come rage

for like, I don't know,

a day and a half or something.

Maybe we can do a test run.

We got Froder, a*s-Clown, Bonk

- Okay.

- [Chad] Danny and then Drew.

- Schedule it. Let's do it.

- [JT] They're here.

- They're coming on board now?

- [JT] Is that cool?

I see. Okay.

Uh I

A lot of folks would donate money

for that type of situation too.

- That's what we're asking you.

- To donate?

- [JT] The boat.

- The boat?

If someone messes up the boat,

they can write a sincere public apology.

The thing is, as much as I would like

to accommodate that,

I'd always stay within the law.

It's just too dangerous on the water.

They're safe guys.

I can vouch for everyone.

a*s-Clown's a wildcard, so maybe

let him on the boat, see how he does.

We don't want a*s-Clown to miss out.

- Exactly.

- Exactly.

- Yeah.

- [JT] So we have a deal?

No.

[man] Buddy, cut for a second. Thanks.

There are accidents on boats all the time.

- No

- [man] It'd make you look like an as*h*le.

We'd make sure everyone had life jackets.

[man] I guess you're just being

a bit naive is what I think.

I think this is the opportunity

to do some serious philharmonic work.

[man] Guys, I think we're probably done.

That's not being an activist.

That's just being a partyer.

- Wanna be in it?

- No, thank you.

[shutter clicking]

- [Chad] How's it look?

- You're smoldering.

Sick.

Do you do that sometimes like

You're married, huh?

- No.

- You're not? Okay.

Do you find the boat helps with women?

Yes.

- That's awesome.

- Nice.

[Strider] Chad and JT made

some new friends,

but it was clear

they had to find another cause.

[Chad] You wanna help us out?

Save the environment?

Don't know if you're aware,

about eight million tons of plastic

is thrown into the oceans here,

and roughly 10% of that is sex toys.

We're recycling these

so they stay out of the ocean

to protect the coral and fish.

Word. Yeah. 100%. That's very thoughtful.

[Chad and JT] Thanks.

Pick whatever you like.

It's $5 for the small items,

and $10 for the big ones.

Are you for real?

- For real.

- Are these clean?

- [JT] Super clean.

- [Chad] Yeah.

These have been used before?

They've gone through

our disinfecting process.

This is Barbicide.

If they don't get fully cleaned,

we'll chuck them in JT's mom's bathtub.

We clean the crap out of them.

There's pretty much no sign of orifice.

Uh woah.

I was literally looking

for a f*cking harness last night.

- For real?

- [woman]Yeah.

- I want this.

- [Chad] Nice.

I see. So, by me rebuying it,

it essentially keeps it out of the sea.

- [Chad] Yes.

- Got it. Okay.

[JT] Hey, Mom.

- [Mom] Hi, guys.

- What's up?

- Hi, how are you?

- [JT] How are you doing?

- I brought you some goodies. Some lunch.

- Thank you.

I also thought I'd help with the cause.

[JT] Oh, really?

So I brought you

two of my old, used sex toys

to donate to you for your cause.

[JT] Oh, you're the best, Mom!

- Yeah. But you do have to clean them.

- [JT] Copy.

- Thanks, Mama.

- [Mom] I love you so much!

- [Mom kisses]

- I appreciate you. Thanks for helping.

- Of course. Save the reef.

- Thank you.

- Thanks for dropping off your stuff.

- Of course, guys.

- Thanks. Love you. Bye, guys!

- [JT] Bye, Mom. Love you.

Save these for later.

Do you want to buy any of these?

You know? I I think I'm good.

- [Chad] Where's your nip?

- [JT] Right here.

[Chad] Right.

- [Chad laughs]

- [JT] Ooh!

I do like that!

- [Chad] You like it?

- [JT] Feels good!

[laughs]

[woman] What if I bought one of these,

and then use it and then got some

infection because it wasn't clean enough?

We'll work on it.

But it was nice to meet you.

Thank you for all the feedback.

I didn't think people

would find this that gross.

Yeah, I think it is kind of nasty,

but it's a good cause.

- Yeah.

- We should find something else.

- Yeah. We made 20 bones.

- Dude.

[upbeat music playing]

[seagulls cooing]

[Chad] Dude, we managed to save

ten dildos from the osh.

[JT] Yeah. Make sure you tell Zedd.

- [Chad] Should we go one bag at a time?

- Sounds good.

[grunts]

[sighs]

[grunts]

[Chad] Dude, nice pour.

[man] You scared me, buddy.

- Sorry.

- What's that stuff?

- Sand.

- Sand.

That's gonna fill the beach up?

- Yeah.

- We're trying to stop erosion.

[laughs] With that?

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

[man] You got more than that?

- We're concerned citizens.

- We got a ton of bags.

Oh, okay. You put that stuff around me,

I won't get eroded on.

I was talking about my ball

getting cut off this Thursday.

- Oh, wow.

- I wanted to feel it.

- I'm serious.

- I see you grabbing really low.

- I can see your sac through your shorts.

- See how big it is?

- Yeah.

- Yeah, woah.

I'm laughing, but I'm nervous as sh*t.

I appreciate your positivity though.

We're gonna protect erosion

like that doc is gonna protect your nut.

- Yeah, yeah.

- [JT] Yeah.

- So anyway

- Do you know about erosion?

- Of course I do. I'm a surfer!

- What do you know about it?

I'll call you right back.

Here's the deal. I had a lung taken out.

Got a g*nsh*t there.

- He's in jail for 15 years.

- Oh, nice.

I beat him up pretty good afterward.

But anyway, you're wasting your time here.

This is minor erosion.

You wanna go to Isla Vista.

Are you familiar with where that's at?

- Yeah.

- Santa Barbara University.

Where the kids party.

There won't be a place to party

when the beach is all gone.

- Oh my God.

- All done?

- [JT] The erosion is really bad there?

- Terrible.

Whatever you see here,

it's ten times worse.

- In Isla Vista.

- [Chad] What?

- Good luck with your nuts.

- We'll go to Isla Vista.

[JT] I think that's the move.

If the cliffs keep eroding,

and the kids can't party,

then they'll be bummed, and that'll have

dire consequences for humanity.

- That's apocalyptic.

- [JT] Let's go.

- [Chad] Thank you, sir.

- [JT] Thanks, dude.

[vibrant music playing]

We've actually never been to IV,

but it's the sickest place on Earth.

Get on your skateboard and cruise

from house party to house party.

Dudes don't even care

about you messing up the ratio.

But houses are falling into the ocean.

So, I think it's a real issue, dude.

[reporter] It was quite a sight

to see a cliff collapse

on the beach in Isla Vista.

Be aware that anytime

you're on the side of it,

it might go down at any time.

[reporter] County Park officials

are advising everyone to keep away.

Holy tomatoes!

Like, there's no buffer.

You need buffer.

Are you worried about the erosion?

Yeah. The cliff fell on us one time.

You look like you should be

in Italy or something.

[laughing]

The party days are numbered because of,

you know,

geological issues, right? So the stoke,

it's not good.

- What up? I'm Chad.

- Dan.

- What's up, man? JT.

- Nice to meet you.

We came here because we heard

about this cliff erosion that's happening.

- Yeah, sh*t's cray.

- How bad is it?

Dude, I mean

f*ck.

People start getting so zooted.

They'll sit on the balcony

'cause there's nowhere else to go

because it's crowded.

And they forget that they

don't have anything behind them.

They fall back.

You have 600 people on a little balcony.

It's going to put so much weight

on the cliff, it'll crumble.

- Oh dude!

- Dude, what up?

What's up, bro?

- [Chad] Do you know about cliff erosion?

- It'll bring my sh*t down one day.

- For real?

- Yeah, dude, it's gonna f*ck up my lease.

- [JT] Oh no, dude.

- f*ck it, though.

Don't need to worry about erosion.

You got a month's worth of food

stashed away?

- [Chad] No.

- Get it. Man-made climate change.

Yes, yes, yes, that is happening.

But it's not me and you,

us peasants driving around in our cars.

I got the NSA spying on my a*s.

[JT] Okay.

[man] After a while,

this part of DP will go under,

but the party street will just move over.

- That'll become the new DP.

- But at some point, won't that go under?

And there will have to be a newer DP

after that.

That's 20 years from now.

That's like future-future.

We can't keep kicking

the PBR can down the road.

- We need to do something now.

- A think tank.

- Yeah.

- What about a dank tank?

Maybe a dank tank. Yeah, that's fine.

That's sick.

[upbeat music playing]

[Chad] Welcome to the Dank Tank.

We've gathered the people of Isla Vista,

along with our two colleagues,

to come up with a solush to cliff erosion.

I'm JT Parr, activist and stokelord.

I'mChad Kroeger. Activist. Stokelord.

Charlotte Sabina. Activist. Surfer.

Dan Shu. Just a surfer.

You may begin.

How do I explain it?

You want something to, like,

stop the water. The big deal

is the water eroding the cliffs.

If we had a little wall,

maybe it hits that instead.

I'm just thinking

how much money would this cost?

I don't know how much it'll cost.

Mangrove trees are one of the main ways

that the coasts

of South Asia prevent erosion

- Does fruit grow from these mango

- Mangrove trees.

Not mango trees. So, no.

If you were to pump car exhaust

through what I call a smog bong,

the smog bong would capture the carbon,

and at some point,

that water would be disgusting water

that you just fertilize

the nearby fruit trees with.

- Okay, thank you so much.

- Okay, you guys take care.

I don't think we need to save it.

Why do we need to?

- Parties are falling into the osh.

- There are way bigger problems in IV.

Noise pollution. I try to sleep

before midnight, but people just walk

All night, they're talking really loud.

Especially girls. No offense, you know.

Do you party?

If you mean walking around

in the middle of the night,

I don't do that.

Well, it feels like

you're kinda harshing my vibe.

- [JT] Thank you so much.

- Thank you.

[Charlotte] I have a fundamental

f*cking issue with that guy.

We'll take all the oceanside DP houses

and make them throw a bad party.

So I'm talking Dixie D'Amelio songs,

Jacob Sartorius, maybe a couple

of Chads and Brads just thrown in there.

- You mentioned Chads.

- [woman] Yeah.

- What's the beef?

- I haven't met a good Chad before.

His name's Chad.

- That's unfortunate.

- [Charlotte] Thank you for your time.

- You gotta start cutting these people off.

- sh*t, I'm so sorry.

[JT] It's fine.

[vibrant music playing]

So I think we got to get IV

on the maps as a historical landmark.

Beer is a big thing in Isla Vista,

so maybe we could do

the longest beer bong off the cliff.

That way, everyone will talk about it,

maybe it'll go viral.

That way, everyone will care

enough to help us save the Bluffs.

Can I just say one word? Jablow!

- [Charlotte] That's a great idea.

- Thank you.

I think we got it.

I think we got it.

[upbeat music playing]

[Chad clears throat]

What up, council? My name is Chad Kroeger.

Recently my dog JT and I

made a voyage to Santa Barbara

to solve their cliff erosion problem.

For those of you who don't know,

erosion is an existential threat

to the stokers

who live on the cliffs there.

So we gathered the best

and brightest minds of IV

to take part in a dank tank.

To come up with a solush.

And after many hours of deliberash,

I'm proud to say

we found one.

We have determined

that the best course of action

was to do the world's longest beer bong

from the cliffs down to the beach.

This heroic feat,

we hope, will cement the cliffs

into the record books

of Santa Barbara County

as a legit landmark.

Building a beer bong

is 50% emotion, and 50% engineering.

- Twist it on.

- Yeah.

Also, the 50% of it functioning

correctly with all the parts.

We've never in history

had a beer bong this long.

I honestly think

people don't take IV that seriously.

If we could pull this off,

I think we'd get mad respect

from the whole Santa Barbara community.

Once they realize that we're using

these cliffs for a good reason,

they'll definitely fund this up,

and we'll be able to keep them safe.

I did not volunteer to be the chugger.

I was picked by an esteemed group,

not unlike this one.

[woman] Yeah, JT!

- [man] There you go.

- We appreciate you for helping save IV.

[Chad] JT!

You got this.

Thanks, dog.

JT was most worried about that beer bong,

not that he couldn't chug it,

but that they made a lot

of promises to the students up in SB.

And he was worried if they didn't nail it,

those would be false promises.

This is Nighthawk to Beachside.

We're deploying the drone.

She's out there flying high.

The science had to be exact,

and we had to adapt when it wasn't.

[woman] This is some hardcore math.

[Chad] This is massively tangled.

This is Nighthawk to Beachside Dan.

Waiting for JT to pull up to the beach.

[Dan] All right, boys.

JT is cruising down the stairs right now.

[man] When JT's all ponshed out,

we can hug.

[Dan] Copy, copy.

We just let them ponsh out JT.

[Chad] Ready to send the slither

on your mark.

[Dan] All right, send that sh*t.

[cheering]

[Chad] Whoa! Oh!

Dude! [laughs]

[Strider] There were some moments

where I didn't know if it would work.

[Dan] Could y'all bring it up, like,

I don't know, a couple of feet?

All right. I might need

to move back here then.

[Dan] All right. Yeah,

but it's not completely vertical yet.

Pull it back. Pull it back. Pull it back.

- Attach it directly there.

- [Chad] Ditch the second hose?

- [JT] The boys might have to disconnect.

- [Dan] Why are we disconnecting?

[JT] We need slack and gravity.

That's gonna funnel this.

[Dan] Are we ready to mobilize?

- [Chad] We need to grab here.

- [Dan] Can I get an ETA?

[man] 10-4. Jeez. We're on it.

As the chugger,

I had moments of harrowing self-doubt.

This is JT. Can I go for Chad?

- Go for Chad.

- Go for Chad.

Chad, switch to two.

I want this to be confidential.

I don't know How do you switch to two?

Do you know how to switch to two?

Are you back on 11?

I don't know how to switch channels.

We gotta speed this up. Come on.

[Charlotte] We'll cut the duct tape too.

[man] It's too long.

[Dan] Can we get an ETA, Nighthawk?

[JT] I want this bad boy out of there.

[Dan] Yo, guys, get off the cliff.

I'm nervous.

Dude, you hear me?

I don't think I can do this.

[Chad] Oh, crap.

[theme music playing]
