Headcanon: The character that Ben plays in this episode and Ben's stylized Commodorehustle persona he plays in current episodes are, in fact, the same person. After his book failed tragically, he changed his name to Ben and now plots, hidden in the crew of LRR, plotting his revenge against the fools who ruined his masterpiece after they wouldn't publish the next great Canadian-but-also-American novel.
"Every man has a breaking point, graham" "Tell me more about building the tiny bridges" "Thats right, shitting my ass inside out with dignity" You guys deserve more subs.
Headcanon: Kathleen edits and publishes the Randy Hardmeat novel, whose success keeps LRR afloat in otherwise turbulent times. The rest of the crew is too embarrassed to admit this, and mumble about "other projects" when people ask if the streams alone keep the lights on.
In order to avoid legal claims, she changed the main character's name to Zach Meatfist. Despite being officially published by a Canadian, the Zach Meatfist series became considered the next Great American novel after only a week on the shelves. The series also went on to spawn a variety of TV shows and movies. While the actors and plot of the TV series were considered by fans to be only above average, the movies were arguably one of the most popular of its time, rivaled only by the Murdercide Killogy and the Movie Movie's Movie.
I'm rewatching this in The Quarantine, and you know, I honestly would love to get taken on a woods adventure with Hustle Ian. He absolutely seems like he knows how to make it a good time.
I will never, ever get tired of those openings. I find it extremely amusing that people just walk in, assuming you're a prior business, and demand that stuff be done. :D That pringles can antenna was hilarious and horrendous. And Penelope remains utterly adorable.
I can't help, but read YOUR comment in Dave's Spokesman's voice. Was this, intentional? Or maybe just existential. In, or out, the tension thick enough to cut with an industrial jigsaw.
Oh my god, the baby at the end was soooooo adorabel. Trying to escape the box :D ahhhh soo sweet ^.^ I wish you and Graham and the baby all the lucky in the world Kathleen!
I was a little confused about the poor reaction to Ian mentioning he was going to get them pork for dinner, since that was probably the only thing so far that - from the crew's perspective - shouldn't be a bad thing. Then I realized Cam was the only one with a bad reaction (that I noticed), and he's a vegetarian.
Head canon: Ian is a government handler for CSIS agents. The previous companies in the lrr place were used as fronts to obtain information from field agents. By reading that book, Kathleen now knows half the launch codes for a secret terrorist missile base in the middle of the Pacific.
Please, please, PLEASE keep going with this storyline. I want to see the LRR crew's attempt to navigate the wilderness and reach civilization once again!
YES! A new cHustle, just what I need to wrap up my September. Even better, Bengineering is in it now! *returning after watching* Wow, the writing on this one was really crisp and very funny. Well done, guys!
Bengineering!!! Wow - first I got to see Ian's start, now Ben's! Bengineering is the only "Ben" with LRR that I know, so far, but I still need to call him that, just so I don't get confused, later. He really has a gift for being disturbing but very funny, at the same time. :)
That cut at 2:45 was a bit abrupt. Still, always love some new cH! And the sad part is that novel probably would actually have a decent chance of becoming a best seller.
Yeah, I'm wondering if it was an audio issue that Graham agonized before giving up and saying he couldn't fix it... or if it was something that got screwed up in the UA-cam conversion.
So is every cH episode from now on just going to open with a person mistakenly trying to reach a previous tennant? So far, we've had a reference to someone trying to contact Crystal's Crystals, whatever business Raymond Steacy was trying to contact, Luigi's Laundry Lounge, and now Rando Publishing House (I feel like I'm forgetting one).
Next episode: the horror film that happened that night as they were picked off one by one at the hands (claws?) of all the Pokemon they had trapped in GO.
Yes, the only people that have a continent to themselves are Australians. Everyone else has to share. Hence, Europeans, Asians, Africans, Americans. (yes, north and south america, but... both are called America.) The other continent basically isn't inhabited, so... Whatever. That does raise a question about New Zealand though - It's way too far out to reasonably be called part of Asia, but it's clearly not logically part of Australia either. So... Where does it belong exactly?
New Zealand is an island floating about continentless, its actually part of its own continental shelf geologically (most of it is underwater) but is too small for us to consider it a continent geographically. This is unlike the British Isles which are in fact connected by their continental shelf to France and the Netherlands so it is fine to call that Europe in my opinion, its not an Hawaii/America situation. I think most interesting is Papua New Guinea which is definitely part of the Australian continent geologically speaking but I don't think anyone really recognizes it from a geographical perspective.
I love how he states that there are no electricity while the image is perfectly framed with a ceiling light hanging right in the golden ratio. I guess all the lamps are just for decorations?
I mean, I would buy that if it wasn't for the fact that there's a LOT of different lamps in other angels... Though that is interesting information. Gotta love solar panels
Well, reserving solar power for lights can be useful in cabins also because light bulbs usually can handle variations in the electric system, while electronics usually hate that. I've been in several unpowered cabins with lights run by solar power, where the only other electrical appliance was a battery powered radio.

And that's just Cam being Cam. He does all of his work ad-lib.
(that's not true)
loadingreadyrun who's voice do I read this in?
Humbert cumberdale Cam's, obviously.
@@hubertcumberdale7241Yes
Headcanon: Kathleen edits and publishes the Randy Hardmeat novel, whose success keeps LRR afloat in otherwise turbulent times. The rest of the crew is too embarrassed to admit this, and mumble about "other projects" when people ask if the streams alone keep the lights on.
I could totally see that as a legit plot contrivance for cH.

@Rytel and @Dapper Blook Headcannon accepted.
She will never steal him from me. Randy Hardmeat will rise again.
Are we really not using "phrasing"?
All I want now is a new series of Kathleen reading the adventures of Randy in various random locals.
Still it would be hella awesome
That sounds like a challenge.
For Desert Bus.
Whoever wrote Cam's lines needs to keep writing them. So perfect.
I don't think anyone writes his lines, I think that's just Cam.
I think you just hit it on the nail
As an aspiring professional writer, I'd kill for that kind of confidence.
I hope 4 years have served you well and you're now published and wealthy... or at least published :)

That pringles can antenna was hilarious and horrendous.
And Penelope remains utterly adorable.
As one of the many victims of Australian internet, I can confirm that watching a gif load frame-by-frame has a magic all of its own.
I've suddenly begun to question if I'm using commas, properly.
Screw, that, Kathleen's, not, the, boss, of, me!,
Kathleen!!
I see what you did there.
I don't, know if I'm doing, but who is to say. One thing I do know? The sun!
I can't help, but read YOUR comment in Dave's Spokesman's voice. Was this, intentional? Or maybe just existential. In, or out, the tension thick enough to cut with an industrial jigsaw.
Oh god, the traumatised look on Alex's face when they're in the cabin. That's amazing.
Alex is definitely a solid leader for the "best facial expressions of all time" awards.
Alex is definitely the most expressive of the crew imo.
Alex has had years of practice producing expressions and vocalizations of distress from being on Watch+Play
He's also a great backup airhorn.
"And all of us could stay there?"
"Plenty of room!"
Ian is a liar.
Oh my god, the baby at the end was soooooo adorabel. Trying to escape the box :D ahhhh soo sweet ^.^
I wish you and Graham and the baby all the lucky in the world Kathleen!
I see the baby has outgrown the original shelf.
Also I really want a cabin like that.
I was a little confused about the poor reaction to Ian mentioning he was going to get them pork for dinner, since that was probably the only thing so far that - from the crew's perspective - shouldn't be a bad thing. Then I realized Cam was the only one with a bad reaction (that I noticed), and he's a vegetarian.
Penelope is so sweet! The stinger melted my heart. :)
Head canon: Ian is a government handler for CSIS agents. The previous companies in the lrr place were used as fronts to obtain information from field agents. By reading that book, Kathleen now knows half the launch codes for a secret terrorist missile base in the middle of the Pacific.
As a copy editor myself, I 100% met Ben's character IRL. Maybe more than once.
Please, please, PLEASE keep going with this storyline. I want to see the LRR crew's attempt to navigate the wilderness and reach civilization once again!
This is some of the best Cam scenes! I can't stop re-watching the poison berries scene!
YES! A new cHustle, just what I need to wrap up my September.
Even better, Bengineering is in it now!
*returning after watching* Wow, the writing on this one was really crisp and very funny. Well done, guys!
Bengineering!!! Wow - first I got to see Ian's start, now Ben's! Bengineering is the only "Ben" with LRR that I know, so far, but I still need to call him that, just so I don't get confused, later. He really has a gift for being disturbing but very funny, at the same time. :)
OMG, this was probably the best CH ever, its so great. Awesome work guys!
risk your lives? it's just a 2/2 you guys can take the bears.
Yeah, but none of them are 2/1, and even then no first strike.
I think they are mostly 0/1. Maybe 0/2.
Graham on Segway just makes me think of nunchuck nuts 2.0
i wanted Graham on Segway to be the stinger
Penelope is really digging that box.
Aside from 2:45 cutoff seeming a bit ... cut off, this was yet another great episode. Can't wait for the next one.
Surprised Ian did not choose to ruin the moment by saying that they came together as a team or something
We didn't feel we needed to spell it out :)
fair enough
Honestly spending some time with friends in one of these cottages sounds like a hell of a time
Whoever wrote the bit about an "honor system pork fridge" is doing some really good work.
the thumbnail is so nice. it compels me to rewatch the video everytime i see it.
"I agree with... MOST of what you said" Loved the episode, and the stealth OSW Review reference
Thoroughly excellent as always. Ian's insertion into CH is only getting better!
Writing, editing, acting, AND delivery on this ep: 👌🔥💯💯💯
I know I’m 2 years late but the Segway segway was absolutely brilliant
I love the cut back to Ian with the bedroll out of nowhere, great job!
Yay another video!
Graham’s “PLEASE NO!” suggests that he’s heard more about Randy Hardmeat than he wants to already.
I want an un-amused James poster, for motivation.
Hell yeah, new cHustle! Best birthday present ever
That cut at 2:45 was a bit abrupt. Still, always love some new cH! And the sad part is that novel probably would actually have a decent chance of becoming a best seller.
Yeah, I'm wondering if it was an audio issue that Graham agonized before giving up and saying he couldn't fix it... or if it was something that got screwed up in the UA-cam conversion.
i didn't notice it until reading this.
I wonder if Kathleen was meant to cut Graham off there
So is every cH episode from now on just going to open with a person mistakenly trying to reach a previous tennant? So far, we've had a reference to someone trying to contact Crystal's Crystals, whatever business Raymond Steacy was trying to contact, Luigi's Laundry Lounge, and now Rando Publishing House (I feel like I'm forgetting one).
I mean, is that a bad thing? I'm sure they'll move on before the joke really overstays it's welcome.
I wish this was monthly I love this series it is the best.
I can't wait to see the Loading Time for this. It'll be amazing, I wager.
This feels like yesterday. I wish we can get new episodes soon!
Now that commodoreHUSTLE is back, Randy Hardmeat needs to make a re-appearance!
Finally another commodore hustle
all I can say is aww to that stinger Penelope is getting so big
Best one yet
Alex clutching the shovel in horror...best.
Guys: Deliberately trying to write something worse than _The Eye of Argon_... That way madness lays.
I don't think they were aiming for Eye of Argon levels of bad, just "terrible Mary Sue self-insert fanfiction" levels of bad.
It's crazy how long LRR has been doing this.
Cam's lines in this was just too much xD too f**king funny
I'd call that team-building success story.
I really want to see a feature length version of this.
I kinda was hoping for more of that. hahaha.
Cam has such a way with words.
Interesting. So Ben began as just one of the weird people at the door.
Last time I was this early, there wasn't someone who had already posted a last time I was this early joke.
It looks like what was a simple vacation has been retroactively turned into location scouting.
Remember that when filing your taxes. ;)
Hopefully they filmed the beginning of the PAX East 2015 Crapshot while they were at the cabin.
God, I really do need to print off those Pringles can instructions sooner rather than later.
Has anyone...picked up..on the absolutely subtle joke that is, Ian Horner. HORNER. He Horned his way into LRR. Holy shit that is clever
So when will the Novel Hovel be getting the newest Randy Hardmeat in?
Now I need to hear Edith Slump reading the adventures of Randy Hardmeat.
I can't wait for the crossover with Tuggernuts.
Solemn Howler "Get Randy, Tugger Nutts"
Holy crap, I didn't realize how much I missed the sketches until I heard that theme tune.
I know, righ? So much N O S T A L G I A
It's my text ringtone.
Is it weird that Penelope already looked a bit like Graham at this point?
i love that cabin with my whole heart, i want to live and die there
Good news! There's enough poisonous berries to share!
Unfortunately I ate the berries and they we not poisonous. 0/10 will not die again
best prop ever
was that a promised LAN joke?
yes
Question - do only Graham and Kathleen write? or do the other characters modify the wording a bit, like in the case of Cam?
The baby at the end looks like Graham.
_P[-]4NT0M_ its graham's baby
Im looking forward to the LT on this one.
Next episode: the horror film that happened that night as they were picked off one by one at the hands (claws?) of all the Pokemon they had trapped in GO.
Having Ben before he was there is a perfect decision.
When babies and cats steal a show.
6:20 onwards...That pure dread in alex eyes, beautiful.
So...
Who had to write the randy hardman script?
Yay Ben!
Can i Consider from a head-canon point that this is basically Shame-Inferno Woods Edition?
Tell me more about building the tiny bridges.
Geographically Canadians are certainly Americans, as are Venezuelans, but not Hawaiians.
Yes, the only people that have a continent to themselves are Australians.
Everyone else has to share.
Hence, Europeans, Asians, Africans, Americans. (yes, north and south america, but... both are called America.)
The other continent basically isn't inhabited, so... Whatever.
That does raise a question about New Zealand though - It's way too far out to reasonably be called part of Asia, but it's clearly not logically part of Australia either.

This is unlike the British Isles which are in fact connected by their continental shelf to France and the Netherlands so it is fine to call that Europe in my opinion, its not an Hawaii/America situation.
I think most interesting is Papua New Guinea which is definitely part of the Australian continent geologically speaking but I don't think anyone really recognizes it from a geographical perspective.
Papua New Guinea used to be part of Australia before it became independent.
Great reference to an older LRR video
Actually, Australia and the assorted islands are called Oceania now.
TIL that Ben is essentially the Canadian Wilbur Smith
After listening to the Paladin of Shadows series.... I listen to that novel.
i actually went to one of those farmstands
So would the primal scream therapy imply a connection between Qwerpline and cH?
"...and building tiny toothpick replicas of the Akashi Kaikyo bridge with your ears."
Say what now?
Peers.
Ah. Less interesting, but more sensible. Thank you.
I love how he states that there are no electricity while the image is perfectly framed with a ceiling light hanging right in the golden ratio. I guess all the lamps are just for decorations?
There are cabins that use a small solar panel to fuel a single light source, but no electrical sockets.
I mean, I would buy that if it wasn't for the fact that there's a LOT of different lamps in other angels... Though that is interesting information. Gotta love solar panels
Well, reserving solar power for lights can be useful in cabins also because light bulbs usually can handle variations in the electric system, while electronics usually hate that.
I've been in several unpowered cabins with lights run by solar power, where the only other electrical appliance was a battery powered radio.
Pork fridge reference! I got that!
Penelope's all, "Yo, fuck this, I'm out."
...so was this filmed in Salt Springs? Was this filmed during the GVlog?
Yes and no, respectively.
It just happened to be where the cabin is.
do y'all own the cabin or rent it?
I think it belongs to Paul's parents considering the special thanks to "The Saunders" in the credits.
Wasn't the old lunch go to place close for a Team Bonding Retreat from the Summer Episode?
when will ben finally release his manuscript
Those berries would make a good all-natural ingredient for toothpaste.
*collective groan*
Yay! Mo' hustle!
I swear one of the songs in here sounded like a digital version of "I Talk to the Wind" by King Crimson.
That felt incredibly short.
Is this what happened to Friday nights, or is that still going separately?
Lads holiday!!
I wanted to see the building of tiny bridges
