Here’s the synopsis of tonight’s episode. With so many shows on Thursday night these days I find it hard to catch Fantasy Factory when it airs so I usually don’t see it until the following day. In which case I will probably not be back to write an update here until tomorrow so enjoy the show!
The Dyrdek Family Vacation: Rob and Drama head to Myrtle Beach, S.C., to spend some time with their family. While there, they visit a wildlife preserve and Rob shoots a photo to promote his new clothing line.
From the description this sounds like a boring episode, but of course nothing is boring at the Fantasy Factory when Rob is around.
Rob brings in business guru Joel Bauer to mentor the ‘Fantasy Factory’ employees to success.
Come back and let us know what you thought of the episode in the comments!
Update: So last nights episode featured Joel Bauer who apparently wasted 25 years of his life coming up with an absolutely ridiculous business card that nobody is going to want to carry around with him, yet he believes it’s the greatest thing since sliced bread. Rob invites him into the Fantasy Factory to revamp his own business card and to whip the crew into shape, I guess. The business card the guy comes up with is exactly the same as his, but with Rob’s picture on it instead. I guess once you figure out the secret to business cards you just duplicate that for anyone that asks (or pays). Seriously the business cards are the size of a postcard and have an annoying pop up in the middle when you open it. It’s not going to fit in a wallet or a portfolio made to carry business cards so despite what this guy is telling you, most people are probably going to throw the thing away seeing as how it’s going to be an inconvenience to carry around. Then the guy just makes Big Cat feel completely uncomfortable and leaves… Seems like Rob really got his moneys worth here. I remember seeing this idiot’s video online on sites like break.com, where people just ripped him apart, never did I think this dude was actually serious, but apparently he is…
Next up was the Sidehack, a bicycle with a sidecar on it so that you never have to ride BMX alone. Ok, it’s kind of a cool idea, but I could never see myself using one for more than a couple minutes just to try it out. They did look kinda fun in the skatepark, but I don’t think anyone is going to want to be the monkey for very long, plus those things didn’t seem too stable. Dave Mirra came to the factory to test the thing out and Rob and him did a backflip into the foam pit which was kind of impressive… In the end this guy was just looking for an investor to get these things made so he came to Rob. Rob had Jeremy call Walmart and get everything set up and apparently you can now find these Sidehacks in Walmart, however I couldn’t find any on their website so maybe you can’t get them just yet.
Overall a pretty good episode, I have to agree with Drama when he said something about how any normal person would watch a video of some crazy dude pushing business cards and think it was ridiculous, yet Rob watches these things and immediately has to get the dude into the factory… but it makes for good TV, so keep it up.
Here’s what we have to look forward to from the guys in the Fantasy Factory tonight.
Natural Born Gymkhana-er
Rob takes up gymkhana, a motorsport involving an obstacle course. Meanwhile, he has everyone in the factory take an IQ test to determine who’s the smartest person in the building.
Taking predictions, who do you think is the smartest in the Fantasy Factory? And who do you think is the dumbest? I’m going to have to say that Drama does the best on the IQ test and Chanel does the worst. Leave a comment and let us know what you think the results of the IQ test will show.
Don’t forget that tonight is the premiere of season 2 of Rob Dyrdek’s Fantasy Factory! Here’s what to expect in tonight’s episode:
Rob enters the world of horse racing and transforms himself into a jockey named “Bolt Speedman.” Meanwhile, Drama works on his new T-shirt company.
I won’t be around to watch it when it airs due to a concert (Staind, Chevelle, Shinedown) but I’ll throw up a rundown of the episode here tomorrow morning, but that doesn’t mean you guys can’t comment on it.
