This episode of Fantasy Factory was titled "Joe C. and the Magic Goatee." If you are a long time Rob and Big/Fantasy Factory viewer, or you follow skateboarding closely, you know that Joe Ciaglia is a big deal. Joe owns California Skateparks and California Skateparks is the company that builds all of the incredible skate spots you see on Fantasy Factory. They build ALL of Rob Dyrdek's Safe Spot Skate Spots, all of the courses for Street League, the world's biggest skateboard and the Fantasy Factory. They've also built skateparks all over the country. Rob decided to dedicate this episode to Joe C, since he has done so much for him.
I was shocked to see that MTV was promoting this episode as the season finale of Fantasy Factory. I knew that more footage was shot. A few of the pros from Street League went over to the factory to film footage for the season finale, so it didn't make sense that this was it. Also, there was a clip in the Best of, Bonus and Behind the scenes that featured a "hug horn," and we never got to see that footage.
After a little bit of research (me tweeting Shane Nickerson) I learned that there ARE two more episodes left in season 4 of Fantasy Factory. MTV might decide to air them before Ridiculousness starts up in August. I don't know why MTV decided to cut the season short, but I do know that TONS of fans are not happy about it. I got tons of tweets on both my personal account and on @TeamDCFantasy from fans who were just as surprised as I was to learn this was the finale. Later on, Rob Dyrdek tweeted what Shane had already told me, there are two more episodes, and MTV hasn't decided when they want to air them.
While this is disappointing news, all we can do at this point is hope that those episodes do air sometime in the future, and we can look forward to Ridiculousness in a few months. I personally can't wait to see Ridiculousness on TV. I know the fans will love it!
edit - After I started writing this re-cap, the Fantasy Factory page on Facebook said something along the lines of "Oops, I guess there are two more episodes left this season! Don't forget to watch Monday's at 10:30/9:30 central on MTV!" I am still a little bit confused as to what they mean. I checked the guide on comcast and Fantasy Factory isn't scheduled to be on this Monday. I am actually hoping it isn't on this week because the fans now think that the season is over, so I'm afraid no one will be watching. Hopefully MTV does a ton of promoting before they decide to air the last two episodes. I will do all I can to inform everyone as soon as I know for sure when the episodes will air. If you don't already, follow me on twitter at @shygirl364 or on the fan account I share with Natasha, @TeamDCFantasy.
Alright, now on to the re-cap. The episode opened with Rob entering his office with Big Cat, Drama and Big Black already in there. Rob told Drama that if man-thongs were ever made popular, he knows Drama would be on it first. Then Rob proceeded to drop his pants, pull his boxers up and show the crew what a man-thong would really look like. Rob started rubbing his ass on Drama and Drama didn't want any part of it. It was a hilarious scene and after that, the opening credits started to roll.
When we got back, Rob had various garbage cans set up on the conference table in his office. There were also tennis balls, and Rob, Drama and Big Black were betting on who could make the hardest shot bouncing the balls into the garbage cans. $300 was on the line and Rob ended up winning. While Rob was cheering, celebrating his victory, Chanel brought Joe C. into the office.
The reason Rob brought Joe C. in was to tell him about an unclaimed plaza that Rob owns in Shreveport, LA. Rob said that the park has been around for 5 years, but it's so horribly built, he has been ashamed to claim it as his own. Rob projected photos of the skate park onto his big screen TV in the office, and it wasn't pretty. The Mayor of Shreveport gave Rob Dyrdek the key to the city and Rob felt it was only right to go in there and re-design that skate park so kids have a better place to skate. Rob was talking to Joe about the skate park, and he was clearly distracted by Joe C.'s goatee.
Rob - "We can make it beautiful man. I can't..I, I'm just so focused on his goatee right now. I'm trying to look him in the eyes and get passion out, and all I see is goatee right now."
Big Black - "You are the GOAT. Greatest Of All Time."
Rob - "I've said it a million times, you're goatee is half your power!"
Rob ran out of his office and came back with a little statue of Joe C.'s head.
Rob - "I'm going to tell the people of Shreveport that you can thank this (pointing to the goatee on the statue) for this (the key to the city.)
Drama - "Just the goatee?"
Rob - "Just the goatee because it's got magical powers. I bet if we shaved that and all drank it, we could build anything in the world."
In the next scene, the world's biggest skateboard was getting tied onto a truck. Rob grabbed the Joe C. statue and called Big Cat over. He told Big Cat to grab the rest of the crew and gather everyone by the world's biggest skateboard. Once everyone was there, Rob hopped onto the skateboard and explained to everyone how Joe C. has changed everyone's life. Rob said Joe C. isn't being honored the way he should be. All they had was that little bronze statue, but Rob wanted to do something bigger. Rob told everyone that the weekend of the opening of the new skate plaza, Mardi Gras was also happening in New Orleans. Everyone got super excited, and Rob said that he wanted to take the world's biggest skateboard and turn it into a float during the Mardi Gras parade.
Rob - "Go get some beads out there! Chanel could flash her boobs all over the place, you know what I mean?"
Chanel - "I'm not gonna flash my boobs."
Rob - "Put your boobs out there! It's for beads, it's like part of culture down there. It's like saying 'Oh, I don't want to breathe or drink your water.'"
Rob said he wants to honor Joe C. by making a Joe C. float. Rob took the small bronze Joe C. statue and smashed it.
Rob - "Forget that crappy little bronze, peeping tom, weird little sculpture face. We are going to honor him with this float, in a way that he never even thought possible."
Rob attempted to get off the top of the world's biggest skateboard by grabbing onto the zip line rope that was right above his head. Not a very well thought out idea, because he couldn't jump from there to the ground. Big Black came over and Rob dropped perfectly onto his shoulders, haha.
There was a commercial break, and then the crew arrived in Shreveport, LA. They were on their way to the skatepark and Rob said he didn't know if he even wanted to see it. He said he has blocked it out of his mind all this time. They pulled up and it was awful. Chanel called it a dump. Joe C. was already there figuring out his plans for the park. The crew met up with him and Joe said it was going to take some work to fix it up. We saw all the horrible rails and ramps. There was even a broken electrical box in the middle of the park. It was in pretty bad shape.
Drama - "It's almost like you're just teasing these kids. 'Hey, this is almost a skate park..'"
Rob was talking to Joe C. about the timing and how there really isn't too much time to get this park built. While they were talking, Chanel was visibly freezing. When you are from Southern California, cold weather can be somewhat of a shock. The group decided to try and warm her up by creating a circle around her and jumping up and down. It was so funny because Chanel is so tiny, we could only see the top of her head while they were jumping!
Rob told Joe that he absolutely needed to be at the Mardi Gras parade, so this park needed to be finished ASAP. Joe built the world's biggest skateboard, and it's been in parades, but nothing like Mardi Gras. He needed to be there to see it. Also, Joe C. didn't realize that the entire float would be dedicated to him and his goatee. Rob and the crew huddled around Joe C. for a group hug.
Rob - "Oh, I just got really rubbed down by that great goatee right there. I've never been touched by another man's goatee before."
Drama - "I think that's a good thing."
Rob - "I felt a tingle!"
Drama - "Like a Brillo pad?"
Rob - "No! It felt like..magic!"
They left Joe C. to work on the skatepark and the crew headed to New Orleans. Their first top was the place where all the Mardi Gras floats were made. They needed a professional to help perfect their Joe C. float. While they were there, they saw some amazing floats.
Rob - "Look at this place of giant magic things! This is a giant magical land!"
They met with JxPx, a professional float builder, and he was going to help them turn their idea into an amazing float. Rob noticed how every float in the warehouse had a giant head on the front. Rob wanted to get a giant Joe C. head for the front of their float. JP said they could make that happen.
Drama - "It'll be amazing. Everyone else lined on the street will be like, 'This is awesome, but I don't know who this man is.'"
Big Black - "How about we all dress up as Joe C.?"
They discussed all getting goatees and Chanel was a little hesitant, but she went for it. Rob told Big Black that he already kind of had one built in.
Big Black - "Oh yeah, I'm ready!"
Rob - "We'd have to flair it up a little bit."
Big Black - "I'll blond it out."
JP - "Like the reverse!"
Rob hopped up onto the skateboard and explained how everyone will be a Joe C. in a different form. Warlock Joe C., Tiger Joe C....
Rob - "One could be a Princess Joe C.! Who wants to be the princess Joe C.?!"
Chanel (raising her hand) - "Me!"
They decided to call the float "Joe C. and the Magic Goatee." Rob and the crew decided they were going to go get their goatee's and outfits so they could be ready for the parade. They left the float in JP's hands, and went off for their costumes. There was a commercial break, and when we got back, we saw a little bit of California Skateparks demolishing the old park and building the new one.
The crew was heading out to the wig shop.
Chanel - "I'm excited to get into the princess outfit, but I feel like the goatee is going to kill my whole steez."
Rob - "How could it kill your steez when you've got Joe C's magic Goatee?"
They went into the wig shop and right away found some beards and mustaches. Rob put his on first and it looked perfect! Next, Big Black got his blond wig on.
Rob - "Reverse Joe C. is going to be SO INCREDIBLE!"
Drama got his wig on and they were all cracking up!
Chanel - "He looks like that one Beatle!"
Haha, Chanel was totally right, it was super creepy how much Drama resembled George Harrison! Big Cat got his on, and then they tied Chanel's blond hair up and put a Joe C. wig on her. Rob put her beard and mustache on.
Rob - "This is such a pretty little Joe C.!"
Drama - "Joe She!"
Haha, for some reason that line made me crack up pretty badly. They all started dancing in the store in their Joe C. costumes. (Most of them dancing, Big Cat kind of just swaying side to side.) Next stop was the costume shop. Drama put on a colorful prince outfit, and then Chanel came out as Princess Joe She.
Rob - "Oh my god, such a pretty Joe C.!"
Rob came out in an Indian outfit.
Big Black - "Warrior Chief Joe C.!"
All of a sudden we hear Big Cat's voice. "I think this is a little too much..." Then Big Cat comes around the corner in this SPANDEX cat suit. All I could think of is poor Big Cat. This outfit was HILARIOUS! The guy has been through so many ridiculous outfits this season, but I think this one takes the cake as far as craziest.
Rob - "This man is about to commit to a 3.5 hour parade in a Tiger Onesie!"
Big Cat - "It's that long?!"
Drama - "He's like the most fragile little tiger you've ever seen!"
Rob found some wings that matched Big Cat's outfit and decided to turn him into a Tiger Fairy. Rob called him the Joe C. Tiger Fairy, it was honestly so hilarious!
After that, there was a commercial break and then it was time for the parade. It was raining outside, but that didn't stop the Mardi Gras fun! They headed out to the parade and they saw their float for the first time. It looked SO GOOD! Rob said that it was a perfect looking Joe C. head, and then Joe C. showed up to see it. It looked like Joe loved it, and then Rob introduced him to the crew.
Rob - "Joe D (Rob), Joe DB (Drama), Joe BB (Big Black), Joe BC (Big Cat), and Joe She (Chanel)."
Rob showed Joe C. how the float was named "Joe C. and the Magic Goatee." Rob thanked Joe C. for everything he's done, and Joe C. gave hugs to everyone. He even gave Joe She a little peck on the cheek.
Rob - "Things got weird, things got weird! You wanna make love to your fairy self?! Go make love to your fairy self! (pointing to Big Cat)"
Joe C. gave Tiger Fairy Joe BC a slap on the ass, hahaha. You could tell Big Cat was not expecting that one! Too funny! The parade got started and the crew was having a blast throwing beads and goatee packs out to everyone in the crowd. Joe C was sitting on the big purple chair on the float and the rest of the crew were dancing around and entertaining. The camera panned the crowd and tons of people were wearing Joe C. goatees. It was so hilarious! The parade ended and then it was time for the opening of the new skatepark. Tons of people showed up and it was pretty incredbile.
Rob (to Joe C.) - "I think you did an incredible job but I can't see it right now because it's covered with people."
We saw a few before and after pictures of the skatepark, and Joe C. did great like always. Rob got on the microphone and explained about how when he got the key to the city, he felt he didn't deserve it, and he had to come back to Shreveport, LA and make the skate park right. Rob explained how Joe C. (with the help of his magic goatee) was able to transform the park and make it incredible. They cut the red ribbon on the skatepark and let the kids try it out. The crew signed autographs and then headed home.
Rob - "We got to honor the great Joe C., we got to build another park. Got to make a lot of people happy on this trip. Now let's get home!"
That ended the episode. It was another great episode. I really enjoyed it.

Rob - "I'm going to tell the people of Shreveport that you can thank this (pointing to the goatee on the statue) for this (the key to the city.)
Drama - "Just the goatee?"
Rob - "Just the goatee because it's got magical powers. I bet if we shaved that and all drank it, we could build anything in the world."
In the next scene, the world's biggest skateboard was getting tied onto a truck. Rob grabbed the Joe C. statue and called Big Cat over. He told Big Cat to grab the rest of the crew and gather everyone by the world's biggest skateboard. Once everyone was there, Rob hopped onto the skateboard and explained to everyone how Joe C. has changed everyone's life. Rob said Joe C. isn't being honored the way he should be. All they had was that little bronze statue, but Rob wanted to do something bigger. Rob told everyone that the weekend of the opening of the new skate plaza, Mardi Gras was also happening in New Orleans. Everyone got super excited, and Rob said that he wanted to take the world's biggest skateboard and turn it into a float during the Mardi Gras parade.
Rob - "Go get some beads out there! Chanel could flash her boobs all over the place, you know what I mean?"
Chanel - "I'm not gonna flash my boobs."
Rob - "Put your boobs out there! It's for beads, it's like part of culture down there. It's like saying 'Oh, I don't want to breathe or drink your water.'"
Rob said he wants to honor Joe C. by making a Joe C. float. Rob took the small bronze Joe C. statue and smashed it.
Rob - "Forget that crappy little bronze, peeping tom, weird little sculpture face. We are going to honor him with this float, in a way that he never even thought possible."

The crew was heading out to the wig shop.
Chanel - "I'm excited to get into the princess outfit, but I feel like the goatee is going to kill my whole steez."
Rob - "How could it kill your steez when you've got Joe C's magic Goatee?"
They went into the wig shop and right away found some beards and mustaches. Rob put his on first and it looked perfect! Next, Big Black got his blond wig on.
Rob - "Reverse Joe C. is going to be SO INCREDIBLE!"
Drama got his wig on and they were all cracking up!

Haha, Chanel was totally right, it was super creepy how much Drama resembled George Harrison! Big Cat got his on, and then they tied Chanel's blond hair up and put a Joe C. wig on her. Rob put her beard and mustache on.

After that, there was a commercial break and then it was time for the parade. It was raining outside, but that didn't stop the Mardi Gras fun! They headed out to the parade and they saw their float for the first time. It looked SO GOOD! Rob said that it was a perfect looking Joe C. head, and then Joe C. showed up to see it. It looked like Joe loved it, and then Rob introduced him to the crew.
Rob - "Joe D (Rob), Joe DB (Drama), Joe BB (Big Black), Joe BC (Big Cat), and Joe She (Chanel)."
Rob showed Joe C. how the float was named "Joe C. and the Magic Goatee." Rob thanked Joe C. for everything he's done, and Joe C. gave hugs to everyone. He even gave Joe She a little peck on the cheek.
Rob - "Things got weird, things got weird! You wanna make love to your fairy self?! Go make love to your fairy self! (pointing to Big Cat)"
Joe C. gave Tiger Fairy Joe BC a slap on the ass, hahaha. You could tell Big Cat was not expecting that one! Too funny! The parade got started and the crew was having a blast throwing beads and goatee packs out to everyone in the crowd. Joe C was sitting on the big purple chair on the float and the rest of the crew were dancing around and entertaining. The camera panned the crowd and tons of people were wearing Joe C. goatees. It was so hilarious! The parade ended and then it was time for the opening of the new skatepark. Tons of people showed up and it was pretty incredbile.
Rob (to Joe C.) - "I think you did an incredible job but I can't see it right now because it's covered with people."
We saw a few before and after pictures of the skatepark, and Joe C. did great like always. Rob got on the microphone and explained about how when he got the key to the city, he felt he didn't deserve it, and he had to come back to Shreveport, LA and make the skate park right. Rob explained how Joe C. (with the help of his magic goatee) was able to transform the park and make it incredible. They cut the red ribbon on the skatepark and let the kids try it out. The crew signed autographs and then headed home.
Rob - "We got to honor the great Joe C., we got to build another park. Got to make a lot of people happy on this trip. Now let's get home!"
That ended the episode. It was another great episode. I really enjoyed it.

Don't forget, follow me on twitter @shygirl364 for the latest updates as to when the final two episodes of season 4 will air on MTV! Also, I am heading out to Kansas City, MO for Street League in a couple weeks, so expect a full review of my trip when I get back!
Until next time...
I was shocked to see that MTV was promoting this episode as the season finale of Fantasy Factory. I knew that more footage was shot. A few of the pros from Street League went over to the factory to film footage for the season finale, so it didn't make sense that this was it. Also, there was a clip in the Best of, Bonus and Behind the scenes that featured a "hug horn," and we never got to see that footage.
After a little bit of research (me tweeting Shane Nickerson) I learned that there ARE two more episodes left in season 4 of Fantasy Factory. MTV might decide to air them before Ridiculousness starts up in August. I don't know why MTV decided to cut the season short, but I do know that TONS of fans are not happy about it. I got tons of tweets on both my personal account and on @TeamDCFantasy from fans who were just as surprised as I was to learn this was the finale. Later on, Rob Dyrdek tweeted what Shane had already told me, there are two more episodes, and MTV hasn't decided when they want to air them.
While this is disappointing news, all we can do at this point is hope that those episodes do air sometime in the future, and we can look forward to Ridiculousness in a few months. I personally can't wait to see Ridiculousness on TV. I know the fans will love it!
edit - After I started writing this re-cap, the Fantasy Factory page on Facebook said something along the lines of "Oops, I guess there are two more episodes left this season! Don't forget to watch Monday's at 10:30/9:30 central on MTV!" I am still a little bit confused as to what they mean. I checked the guide on comcast and Fantasy Factory isn't scheduled to be on this Monday. I am actually hoping it isn't on this week because the fans now think that the season is over, so I'm afraid no one will be watching. Hopefully MTV does a ton of promoting before they decide to air the last two episodes. I will do all I can to inform everyone as soon as I know for sure when the episodes will air. If you don't already, follow me on twitter at @shygirl364 or on the fan account I share with Natasha, @TeamDCFantasy.
Alright, now on to the re-cap. The episode opened with Rob entering his office with Big Cat, Drama and Big Black already in there. Rob told Drama that if man-thongs were ever made popular, he knows Drama would be on it first. Then Rob proceeded to drop his pants, pull his boxers up and show the crew what a man-thong would really look like. Rob started rubbing his ass on Drama and Drama didn't want any part of it. It was a hilarious scene and after that, the opening credits started to roll.
When we got back, Rob had various garbage cans set up on the conference table in his office. There were also tennis balls, and Rob, Drama and Big Black were betting on who could make the hardest shot bouncing the balls into the garbage cans. $300 was on the line and Rob ended up winning. While Rob was cheering, celebrating his victory, Chanel brought Joe C. into the office.
The reason Rob brought Joe C. in was to tell him about an unclaimed plaza that Rob owns in Shreveport, LA. Rob said that the park has been around for 5 years, but it's so horribly built, he has been ashamed to claim it as his own. Rob projected photos of the skate park onto his big screen TV in the office, and it wasn't pretty. The Mayor of Shreveport gave Rob Dyrdek the key to the city and Rob felt it was only right to go in there and re-design that skate park so kids have a better place to skate. Rob was talking to Joe about the skate park, and he was clearly distracted by Joe C.'s goatee.
Rob - "We can make it beautiful man. I can't..I, I'm just so focused on his goatee right now. I'm trying to look him in the eyes and get passion out, and all I see is goatee right now."
Big Black - "You are the GOAT. Greatest Of All Time."
Rob - "I've said it a million times, you're goatee is half your power!"
Rob ran out of his office and came back with a little statue of Joe C.'s head.
Rob - "I'm going to tell the people of Shreveport that you can thank this (pointing to the goatee on the statue) for this (the key to the city.)
Drama - "Just the goatee?"
Rob - "Just the goatee because it's got magical powers. I bet if we shaved that and all drank it, we could build anything in the world."
In the next scene, the world's biggest skateboard was getting tied onto a truck. Rob grabbed the Joe C. statue and called Big Cat over. He told Big Cat to grab the rest of the crew and gather everyone by the world's biggest skateboard. Once everyone was there, Rob hopped onto the skateboard and explained to everyone how Joe C. has changed everyone's life. Rob said Joe C. isn't being honored the way he should be. All they had was that little bronze statue, but Rob wanted to do something bigger. Rob told everyone that the weekend of the opening of the new skate plaza, Mardi Gras was also happening in New Orleans. Everyone got super excited, and Rob said that he wanted to take the world's biggest skateboard and turn it into a float during the Mardi Gras parade.
Rob - "Go get some beads out there! Chanel could flash her boobs all over the place, you know what I mean?"
Chanel - "I'm not gonna flash my boobs."
Rob - "Put your boobs out there! It's for beads, it's like part of culture down there. It's like saying 'Oh, I don't want to breathe or drink your water.'"
Rob said he wants to honor Joe C. by making a Joe C. float. Rob took the small bronze Joe C. statue and smashed it.
Rob - "Forget that crappy little bronze, peeping tom, weird little sculpture face. We are going to honor him with this float, in a way that he never even thought possible."
Rob attempted to get off the top of the world's biggest skateboard by grabbing onto the zip line rope that was right above his head. Not a very well thought out idea, because he couldn't jump from there to the ground. Big Black came over and Rob dropped perfectly onto his shoulders, haha.
There was a commercial break, and then the crew arrived in Shreveport, LA. They were on their way to the skatepark and Rob said he didn't know if he even wanted to see it. He said he has blocked it out of his mind all this time. They pulled up and it was awful. Chanel called it a dump. Joe C. was already there figuring out his plans for the park. The crew met up with him and Joe said it was going to take some work to fix it up. We saw all the horrible rails and ramps. There was even a broken electrical box in the middle of the park. It was in pretty bad shape.
Drama - "It's almost like you're just teasing these kids. 'Hey, this is almost a skate park..'"
Rob was talking to Joe C. about the timing and how there really isn't too much time to get this park built. While they were talking, Chanel was visibly freezing. When you are from Southern California, cold weather can be somewhat of a shock. The group decided to try and warm her up by creating a circle around her and jumping up and down. It was so funny because Chanel is so tiny, we could only see the top of her head while they were jumping!
Rob told Joe that he absolutely needed to be at the Mardi Gras parade, so this park needed to be finished ASAP. Joe built the world's biggest skateboard, and it's been in parades, but nothing like Mardi Gras. He needed to be there to see it. Also, Joe C. didn't realize that the entire float would be dedicated to him and his goatee. Rob and the crew huddled around Joe C. for a group hug.
Rob - "Oh, I just got really rubbed down by that great goatee right there. I've never been touched by another man's goatee before."
Drama - "I think that's a good thing."
Rob - "I felt a tingle!"
Drama - "Like a Brillo pad?"
Rob - "No! It felt like..magic!"
They left Joe C. to work on the skatepark and the crew headed to New Orleans. Their first top was the place where all the Mardi Gras floats were made. They needed a professional to help perfect their Joe C. float. While they were there, they saw some amazing floats.
Rob - "Look at this place of giant magic things! This is a giant magical land!"
They met with JxPx, a professional float builder, and he was going to help them turn their idea into an amazing float. Rob noticed how every float in the warehouse had a giant head on the front. Rob wanted to get a giant Joe C. head for the front of their float. JP said they could make that happen.
Drama - "It'll be amazing. Everyone else lined on the street will be like, 'This is awesome, but I don't know who this man is.'"
Big Black - "How about we all dress up as Joe C.?"
They discussed all getting goatees and Chanel was a little hesitant, but she went for it. Rob told Big Black that he already kind of had one built in.
Big Black - "Oh yeah, I'm ready!"
Rob - "We'd have to flair it up a little bit."
Big Black - "I'll blond it out."
JP - "Like the reverse!"
Rob hopped up onto the skateboard and explained how everyone will be a Joe C. in a different form. Warlock Joe C., Tiger Joe C....
Rob - "One could be a Princess Joe C.! Who wants to be the princess Joe C.?!"
Chanel (raising her hand) - "Me!"
They decided to call the float "Joe C. and the Magic Goatee." Rob and the crew decided they were going to go get their goatee's and outfits so they could be ready for the parade. They left the float in JP's hands, and went off for their costumes. There was a commercial break, and when we got back, we saw a little bit of California Skateparks demolishing the old park and building the new one.
The crew was heading out to the wig shop.
Chanel - "I'm excited to get into the princess outfit, but I feel like the goatee is going to kill my whole steez."
Rob - "How could it kill your steez when you've got Joe C's magic Goatee?"
They went into the wig shop and right away found some beards and mustaches. Rob put his on first and it looked perfect! Next, Big Black got his blond wig on.
Rob - "Reverse Joe C. is going to be SO INCREDIBLE!"
Drama got his wig on and they were all cracking up!
Chanel - "He looks like that one Beatle!"
Haha, Chanel was totally right, it was super creepy how much Drama resembled George Harrison! Big Cat got his on, and then they tied Chanel's blond hair up and put a Joe C. wig on her. Rob put her beard and mustache on.
Rob - "This is such a pretty little Joe C.!"
Drama - "Joe She!"
Haha, for some reason that line made me crack up pretty badly. They all started dancing in the store in their Joe C. costumes. (Most of them dancing, Big Cat kind of just swaying side to side.) Next stop was the costume shop. Drama put on a colorful prince outfit, and then Chanel came out as Princess Joe She.
Rob - "Oh my god, such a pretty Joe C.!"
Rob came out in an Indian outfit.
Big Black - "Warrior Chief Joe C.!"
All of a sudden we hear Big Cat's voice. "I think this is a little too much..." Then Big Cat comes around the corner in this SPANDEX cat suit. All I could think of is poor Big Cat. This outfit was HILARIOUS! The guy has been through so many ridiculous outfits this season, but I think this one takes the cake as far as craziest.
Rob - "This man is about to commit to a 3.5 hour parade in a Tiger Onesie!"
Big Cat - "It's that long?!"
Drama - "He's like the most fragile little tiger you've ever seen!"
Rob found some wings that matched Big Cat's outfit and decided to turn him into a Tiger Fairy. Rob called him the Joe C. Tiger Fairy, it was honestly so hilarious!
After that, there was a commercial break and then it was time for the parade. It was raining outside, but that didn't stop the Mardi Gras fun! They headed out to the parade and they saw their float for the first time. It looked SO GOOD! Rob said that it was a perfect looking Joe C. head, and then Joe C. showed up to see it. It looked like Joe loved it, and then Rob introduced him to the crew.
Rob - "Joe D (Rob), Joe DB (Drama), Joe BB (Big Black), Joe BC (Big Cat), and Joe She (Chanel)."
Rob showed Joe C. how the float was named "Joe C. and the Magic Goatee." Rob thanked Joe C. for everything he's done, and Joe C. gave hugs to everyone. He even gave Joe She a little peck on the cheek.
Rob - "Things got weird, things got weird! You wanna make love to your fairy self?! Go make love to your fairy self! (pointing to Big Cat)"
Joe C. gave Tiger Fairy Joe BC a slap on the ass, hahaha. You could tell Big Cat was not expecting that one! Too funny! The parade got started and the crew was having a blast throwing beads and goatee packs out to everyone in the crowd. Joe C was sitting on the big purple chair on the float and the rest of the crew were dancing around and entertaining. The camera panned the crowd and tons of people were wearing Joe C. goatees.

I'm heading out in a few hours to attend my first vending event (and fashion show!) for Domino Dollhouse at the Re/Dress party this weekend.

We will be totally fine, but emotions and stresses are running high!

Season 4 Episode 8 of Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Factory
To contact us Click HERE
This episode of Fantasy Factory was titled "Joe C. and the Magic Goatee." If you are a long time Rob and Big/Fantasy Factory viewer, or you follow skateboarding closely, you know that Joe Ciaglia is a big deal. Joe owns California Skateparks and California Skateparks is the company that builds all of the incredible skate spots you see on Fantasy Factory. They build ALL of Rob Dyrdek's Safe Spot Skate Spots, all of the courses for Street League, the world's biggest skateboard and the Fantasy Factory. They've also built skateparks all over the country. Rob decided to dedicate this episode to Joe C, since he has done so much for him.
I was shocked to see that MTV was promoting this episode as the season finale of Fantasy Factory. I knew that more footage was shot. A few of the pros from Street League went over to the factory to film footage for the season finale, so it didn't make sense that this was it. Also, there was a clip in the Best of, Bonus and Behind the scenes that featured a "hug horn," and we never got to see that footage.
After a little bit of research (me tweeting Shane Nickerson) I learned that there ARE two more episodes left in season 4 of Fantasy Factory. MTV might decide to air them before Ridiculousness starts up in August. I don't know why MTV decided to cut the season short, but I do know that TONS of fans are not happy about it. I got tons of tweets on both my personal account and on @TeamDCFantasy from fans who were just as surprised as I was to learn this was the finale. Later on, Rob Dyrdek tweeted what Shane had already told me, there are two more episodes, and MTV hasn't decided when they want to air them.
While this is disappointing news, all we can do at this point is hope that those episodes do air sometime in the future, and we can look forward to Ridiculousness in a few months. I personally can't wait to see Ridiculousness on TV. I know the fans will love it!
edit - After I started writing this re-cap, the Fantasy Factory page on Facebook said something along the lines of "Oops, I guess there are two more episodes left this season! Don't forget to watch Monday's at 10:30/9:30 central on MTV!" I am still a little bit confused as to what they mean. I checked the guide on comcast and Fantasy Factory isn't scheduled to be on this Monday. I am actually hoping it isn't on this week because the fans now think that the season is over, so I'm afraid no one will be watching. Hopefully MTV does a ton of promoting before they decide to air the last two episodes. I will do all I can to inform everyone as soon as I know for sure when the episodes will air. If you don't already, follow me on twitter at @shygirl364 or on the fan account I share with Natasha, @TeamDCFantasy.
Alright, now on to the re-cap. The episode opened with Rob entering his office with Big Cat, Drama and Big Black already in there. Rob told Drama that if man-thongs were ever made popular, he knows Drama would be on it first. Then Rob proceeded to drop his pants, pull his boxers up and show the crew what a man-thong would really look like. Rob started rubbing his ass on Drama and Drama didn't want any part of it. It was a hilarious scene and after that, the opening credits started to roll.
When we got back, Rob had various garbage cans set up on the conference table in his office. There were also tennis balls, and Rob, Drama and Big Black were betting on who could make the hardest shot bouncing the balls into the garbage cans. $300 was on the line and Rob ended up winning. While Rob was cheering, celebrating his victory, Chanel brought Joe C. into the office.
The reason Rob brought Joe C. in was to tell him about an unclaimed plaza that Rob owns in Shreveport, LA. Rob said that the park has been around for 5 years, but it's so horribly built, he has been ashamed to claim it as his own. Rob projected photos of the skate park onto his big screen TV in the office, and it wasn't pretty. The Mayor of Shreveport gave Rob Dyrdek the key to the city and Rob felt it was only right to go in there and re-design that skate park so kids have a better place to skate. Rob was talking to Joe about the skate park, and he was clearly distracted by Joe C.'s goatee.
Rob - "We can make it beautiful man. I can't..I, I'm just so focused on his goatee right now. I'm trying to look him in the eyes and get passion out, and all I see is goatee right now."
Big Black - "You are the GOAT. Greatest Of All Time."
Rob - "I've said it a million times, you're goatee is half your power!"
Rob ran out of his office and came back with a little statue of Joe C.'s head.
Rob - "I'm going to tell the people of Shreveport that you can thank this (pointing to the goatee on the statue) for this (the key to the city.)
Drama - "Just the goatee?"
Rob - "Just the goatee because it's got magical powers. I bet if we shaved that and all drank it, we could build anything in the world."
In the next scene, the world's biggest skateboard was getting tied onto a truck. Rob grabbed the Joe C. statue and called Big Cat over. He told Big Cat to grab the rest of the crew and gather everyone by the world's biggest skateboard. Once everyone was there, Rob hopped onto the skateboard and explained to everyone how Joe C. has changed everyone's life. Rob said Joe C. isn't being honored the way he should be. All they had was that little bronze statue, but Rob wanted to do something bigger. Rob told everyone that the weekend of the opening of the new skate plaza, Mardi Gras was also happening in New Orleans. Everyone got super excited, and Rob said that he wanted to take the world's biggest skateboard and turn it into a float during the Mardi Gras parade.
Rob - "Go get some beads out there! Chanel could flash her boobs all over the place, you know what I mean?"
Chanel - "I'm not gonna flash my boobs."
Rob - "Put your boobs out there! It's for beads, it's like part of culture down there. It's like saying 'Oh, I don't want to breathe or drink your water.'"
Rob said he wants to honor Joe C. by making a Joe C. float. Rob took the small bronze Joe C. statue and smashed it.
Rob - "Forget that crappy little bronze, peeping tom, weird little sculpture face. We are going to honor him with this float, in a way that he never even thought possible."
Rob attempted to get off the top of the world's biggest skateboard by grabbing onto the zip line rope that was right above his head. Not a very well thought out idea, because he couldn't jump from there to the ground. Big Black came over and Rob dropped perfectly onto his shoulders, haha.
There was a commercial break, and then the crew arrived in Shreveport, LA. They were on their way to the skatepark and Rob said he didn't know if he even wanted to see it.

The crew met up with him and Joe said it was going to take some work to fix it up. We saw all the horrible rails and ramps. There was even a broken electrical box in the middle of the park. It was in pretty bad shape.
Drama - "It's almost like you're just teasing these kids. 'Hey, this is almost a skate park..'"
Rob was talking to Joe C. about the timing and how there really isn't too much time to get this park built. While they were talking, Chanel was visibly freezing. When you are from Southern California, cold weather can be somewhat of a shock. The group decided to try and warm her up by creating a circle around her and jumping up and down. It was so funny because Chanel is so tiny, we could only see the top of her head while they were jumping!
Rob told Joe that he absolutely needed to be at the Mardi Gras parade, so this park needed to be finished ASAP. Joe built the world's biggest skateboard, and it's been in parades, but nothing like Mardi Gras. He needed to be there to see it. Also, Joe C. didn't realize that the entire float would be dedicated to him and his goatee. Rob and the crew huddled around Joe C. for a group hug.
Rob - "Oh, I just got really rubbed down by that great goatee right there. I've never been touched by another man's goatee before."
Drama - "I think that's a good thing."
Rob - "I felt a tingle!"
Drama - "Like a Brillo pad?"
Rob - "No! It felt like..magic!"
They left Joe C. to work on the skatepark and the crew headed to New Orleans. Their first top was the place where all the Mardi Gras floats were made. They needed a professional to help perfect their Joe C. float. While they were there, they saw some amazing floats.
Rob - "Look at this place of giant magic things! This is a giant magical land!"
They met with JxPx, a professional float builder, and he was going to help them turn their idea into an amazing float. Rob noticed how every float in the warehouse had a giant head on the front. Rob wanted to get a giant Joe C. head for the front of their float. JP said they could make that happen.
Drama - "It'll be amazing. Everyone else lined on the street will be like, 'This is awesome, but I don't know who this man is.'"
Big Black - "How about we all dress up as Joe C.?"
They discussed all getting goatees and Chanel was a little hesitant, but she went for it. Rob told Big Black that he already kind of had one built in.
Big Black - "Oh yeah, I'm ready!"
Rob - "We'd have to flair it up a little bit."
Big Black - "I'll blond it out."
JP - "Like the reverse!"
Rob hopped up onto the skateboard and explained how everyone will be a Joe C. in a different form. Warlock Joe C., Tiger Joe C....
Rob - "One could be a Princess Joe C.! Who wants to be the princess Joe C.?!"
Chanel (raising her hand) - "Me!"
They decided to call the float "Joe C. and the Magic Goatee." Rob and the crew decided they were going to go get their goatee's and outfits so they could be ready for the parade. They left the float in JP's hands, and went off for their costumes. There was a commercial break, and when we got back, we saw a little bit of California Skateparks demolishing the old park and building the new one.
The crew was heading out to the wig shop.
Chanel - "I'm excited to get into the princess outfit, but I feel like the goatee is going to kill my whole steez."
Rob - "How could it kill your steez when you've got Joe C's magic Goatee?"
They went into the wig shop and right away found some beards and mustaches. Rob put his on first and it looked perfect! Next, Big Black got his blond wig on.
Rob - "Reverse Joe C. is going to be SO INCREDIBLE!"
Drama got his wig on and they were all cracking up!
Chanel - "He looks like that one Beatle!"
Haha, Chanel was totally right, it was super creepy how much Drama resembled George Harrison! Big Cat got his on, and then they tied Chanel's blond hair up and put a Joe C. wig on her. Rob put her beard and mustache on.
Rob - "This is such a pretty little Joe C.!"
Drama - "Joe She!"
Haha, for some reason that line made me crack up pretty badly. They all started dancing in the store in their Joe C. costumes. (Most of them dancing, Big Cat kind of just swaying side to side.) Next stop was the costume shop. Drama put on a colorful prince outfit, and then Chanel came out as Princess Joe She.
Rob - "Oh my god, such a pretty Joe C.!"
Rob came out in an Indian outfit.
Big Black - "Warrior Chief Joe C.!"
All of a sudden we hear Big Cat's voice. "I think this is a little too much..." Then Big Cat comes around the corner in this SPANDEX cat suit. All I could think of is poor Big Cat. This outfit was HILARIOUS! The guy has been through so many ridiculous outfits this season, but I think this one takes the cake as far as craziest.
Rob - "This man is about to commit to a 3.5 hour parade in a Tiger Onesie!"
Big Cat - "It's that long?!"
Drama - "He's like the most fragile little tiger you've ever seen!"
Rob found some wings that matched Big Cat's outfit and decided to turn him into a Tiger Fairy. Rob called him the Joe C. Tiger Fairy, it was honestly so hilarious!
After that, there was a commercial break and then it was time for the parade. It was raining outside, but that didn't stop the Mardi Gras fun! They headed out to the parade and they saw their float for the first time. It looked SO GOOD! Rob said that it was a perfect looking Joe C. head, and then Joe C. showed up to see it. It looked like Joe loved it, and then Rob introduced him to the crew.
Rob - "Joe D (Rob), Joe DB (Drama), Joe BB (Big Black), Joe BC (Big Cat), and Joe She (Chanel)."
Rob showed Joe C. how the float was named "Joe C. and the Magic Goatee." Rob thanked Joe C. for everything he's done, and Joe C. gave hugs to everyone. He even gave Joe She a little peck on the cheek.
Rob - "Things got weird, things got weird! You wanna make love to your fairy self?! Go make love to your fairy self! (pointing to Big Cat)"
Joe C. gave Tiger Fairy Joe BC a slap on the ass, hahaha. You could tell Big Cat was not expecting that one! Too funny! The parade got started and the crew was having a blast throwing beads and goatee packs out to everyone in the crowd. Joe C was sitting on the big purple chair on the float and the rest of the crew were dancing around and entertaining. The camera panned the crowd and tons of people were wearing Joe C. goatees. It was so hilarious! The parade ended and then it was time for the opening of the new skatepark. Tons of people showed up and it was pretty incredbile.
Rob (to Joe C.) - "I think you did an incredible job but I can't see it right now because it's covered with people."
We saw a few before and after pictures of the skatepark, and Joe C. did great like always. Rob got on the microphone and explained about how when he got the key to the city, he felt he didn't deserve it, and he had to come back to Shreveport, LA and make the skate park right. Rob explained how Joe C. (with the help of his magic goatee) was able to transform the park and make it incredible. They cut the red ribbon on the skatepark and let the kids try it out. The crew signed autographs and then headed home.
Rob - "We got to honor the great Joe C., we got to build another park. Got to make a lot of people happy on this trip. Now let's get home!"
That ended the episode. It was another great episode. I really enjoyed it.

Don't forget, follow me on twitter @shygirl364 for the latest updates as to when the final two episodes of season 4 will air on MTV! Also, I am heading out to Kansas City, MO for Street League in a couple weeks, so expect a full review of my trip when I get back!
Until next time...
I was shocked to see that MTV was promoting this episode as the season finale of Fantasy Factory. I knew that more footage was shot. A few of the pros from Street League went over to the factory to film footage for the season finale, so it didn't make sense that this was it. Also, there was a clip in the Best of, Bonus and Behind the scenes that featured a "hug horn," and we never got to see that footage.
After a little bit of research (me tweeting Shane Nickerson) I learned that there ARE two more episodes left in season 4 of Fantasy Factory. MTV might decide to air them before Ridiculousness starts up in August. I don't know why MTV decided to cut the season short, but I do know that TONS of fans are not happy about it. I got tons of tweets on both my personal account and on @TeamDCFantasy from fans who were just as surprised as I was to learn this was the finale. Later on, Rob Dyrdek tweeted what Shane had already told me, there are two more episodes, and MTV hasn't decided when they want to air them.
While this is disappointing news, all we can do at this point is hope that those episodes do air sometime in the future, and we can look forward to Ridiculousness in a few months. I personally can't wait to see Ridiculousness on TV. I know the fans will love it!
edit - After I started writing this re-cap, the Fantasy Factory page on Facebook said something along the lines of "Oops, I guess there are two more episodes left this season! Don't forget to watch Monday's at 10:30/9:30 central on MTV!" I am still a little bit confused as to what they mean. I checked the guide on comcast and Fantasy Factory isn't scheduled to be on this Monday. I am actually hoping it isn't on this week because the fans now think that the season is over, so I'm afraid no one will be watching. Hopefully MTV does a ton of promoting before they decide to air the last two episodes. I will do all I can to inform everyone as soon as I know for sure when the episodes will air. If you don't already, follow me on twitter at @shygirl364 or on the fan account I share with Natasha, @TeamDCFantasy.
Alright, now on to the re-cap. The episode opened with Rob entering his office with Big Cat, Drama and Big Black already in there. Rob told Drama that if man-thongs were ever made popular, he knows Drama would be on it first. Then Rob proceeded to drop his pants, pull his boxers up and show the crew what a man-thong would really look like. Rob started rubbing his ass on Drama and Drama didn't want any part of it. It was a hilarious scene and after that, the opening credits started to roll.
When we got back, Rob had various garbage cans set up on the conference table in his office. There were also tennis balls, and Rob, Drama and Big Black were betting on who could make the hardest shot bouncing the balls into the garbage cans. $300 was on the line and Rob ended up winning. While Rob was cheering, celebrating his victory, Chanel brought Joe C. into the office.
The reason Rob brought Joe C. in was to tell him about an unclaimed plaza that Rob owns in Shreveport, LA. Rob said that the park has been around for 5 years, but it's so horribly built, he has been ashamed to claim it as his own. Rob projected photos of the skate park onto his big screen TV in the office, and it wasn't pretty. The Mayor of Shreveport gave Rob Dyrdek the key to the city and Rob felt it was only right to go in there and re-design that skate park so kids have a better place to skate. Rob was talking to Joe about the skate park, and he was clearly distracted by Joe C.'s goatee.
Rob - "We can make it beautiful man. I can't..I, I'm just so focused on his goatee right now. I'm trying to look him in the eyes and get passion out, and all I see is goatee right now."
Big Black - "You are the GOAT. Greatest Of All Time."
Rob - "I've said it a million times, you're goatee is half your power!"
Rob ran out of his office and came back with a little statue of Joe C.'s head.
Rob - "I'm going to tell the people of Shreveport that you can thank this (pointing to the goatee on the statue) for this (the key to the city.)
Drama - "Just the goatee?"
Rob - "Just the goatee because it's got magical powers. I bet if we shaved that and all drank it, we could build anything in the world."
In the next scene, the world's biggest skateboard was getting tied onto a truck. Rob grabbed the Joe C. statue and called Big Cat over. He told Big Cat to grab the rest of the crew and gather everyone by the world's biggest skateboard. Once everyone was there, Rob hopped onto the skateboard and explained to everyone how Joe C. has changed everyone's life. Rob said Joe C. isn't being honored the way he should be. All they had was that little bronze statue, but Rob wanted to do something bigger. Rob told everyone that the weekend of the opening of the new skate plaza, Mardi Gras was also happening in New Orleans. Everyone got super excited, and Rob said that he wanted to take the world's biggest skateboard and turn it into a float during the Mardi Gras parade.
Rob - "Go get some beads out there! Chanel could flash her boobs all over the place, you know what I mean?"
Chanel - "I'm not gonna flash my boobs."
Rob - "Put your boobs out there! It's for beads, it's like part of culture down there. It's like saying 'Oh, I don't want to breathe or drink your water.'"
Rob said he wants to honor Joe C. by making a Joe C. float. Rob took the small bronze Joe C. statue and smashed it.
Rob - "Forget that crappy little bronze, peeping tom, weird little sculpture face. We are going to honor him with this float, in a way that he never even thought possible."
Rob attempted to get off the top of the world's biggest skateboard by grabbing onto the zip line rope that was right above his head. Not a very well thought out idea, because he couldn't jump from there to the ground. Big Black came over and Rob dropped perfectly onto his shoulders, haha.
There was a commercial break, and then the crew arrived in Shreveport, LA. They were on their way to the skatepark and Rob said he didn't know if he even wanted to see it. He said he has blocked it out of his mind all this time. They pulled up and it was awful. Chanel called it a dump. Joe C. was already there figuring out his plans for the park. The crew met up with him and Joe said it was going to take some work to fix it up. We saw all the horrible rails and ramps. There was even a broken electrical box in the middle of the park. It was in pretty bad shape.
Drama - "It's almost like you're just teasing these kids. 'Hey, this is almost a skate park..'"
Rob was talking to Joe C. about the timing and how there really isn't too much time to get this park built. While they were talking, Chanel was visibly freezing. When you are from Southern California, cold weather can be somewhat of a shock. The group decided to try and warm her up by creating a circle around her and jumping up and down. It was so funny because Chanel is so tiny, we could only see the top of her head while they were jumping!
Rob told Joe that he absolutely needed to be at the Mardi Gras parade, so this park needed to be finished ASAP. Joe built the world's biggest skateboard, and it's been in parades, but nothing like Mardi Gras. He needed to be there to see it. Also, Joe C. didn't realize that the entire float would be dedicated to him and his goatee. Rob and the crew huddled around Joe C. for a group hug.
Rob - "Oh, I just got really rubbed down by that great goatee right there. I've never been touched by another man's goatee before."
Drama - "I think that's a good thing."
Rob - "I felt a tingle!"
Drama - "Like a Brillo pad?"
Rob - "No! It felt like..magic!"
They left Joe C. to work on the skatepark and the crew headed to New Orleans. Their first top was the place where all the Mardi Gras floats were made. They needed a professional to help perfect their Joe C. float. While they were there, they saw some amazing floats.
Rob - "Look at this place of giant magic things! This is a giant magical land!"
They met with JxPx, a professional float builder, and he was going to help them turn their idea into an amazing float. Rob noticed how every float in the warehouse had a giant head on the front. Rob wanted to get a giant Joe C. head for the front of their float. JP said they could make that happen.
Drama - "It'll be amazing. Everyone else lined on the street will be like, 'This is awesome, but I don't know who this man is.'"
Big Black - "How about we all dress up as Joe C.?"
They discussed all getting goatees and Chanel was a little hesitant, but she went for it. Rob told Big Black that he already kind of had one built in.
Big Black - "Oh yeah, I'm ready!"
Rob - "We'd have to flair it up a little bit."
Big Black - "I'll blond it out."
JP - "Like the reverse!"
Rob hopped up onto the skateboard and explained how everyone will be a Joe C. in a different form. Warlock Joe C., Tiger Joe C....
Rob - "One could be a Princess Joe C.! Who wants to be the princess Joe C.?!"
Chanel (raising her hand) - "Me!"
They decided to call the float "Joe C. and the Magic Goatee." Rob and the crew decided they were going to go get their goatee's and outfits so they could be ready for the parade. They left the float in JP's hands, and went off for their costumes. There was a commercial break, and when we got back, we saw a little bit of California Skateparks demolishing the old park and building the new one.
The crew was heading out to the wig shop.
Chanel - "I'm excited to get into the princess outfit, but I feel like the goatee is going to kill my whole steez."
Rob - "How could it kill your steez when you've got Joe C's magic Goatee?"
They went into the wig shop and right away found some beards and mustaches. Rob put his on first and it looked perfect! Next, Big Black got his blond wig on.
Rob - "Reverse Joe C. is going to be SO INCREDIBLE!"
Drama got his wig on and they were all cracking up!
Chanel - "He looks like that one Beatle!"
Haha, Chanel was totally right, it was super creepy how much Drama resembled George Harrison! Big Cat got his on, and then they tied Chanel's blond hair up and put a Joe C. wig on her. Rob put her beard and mustache on.
Rob - "This is such a pretty little Joe C.!"
Drama - "Joe She!"
Haha, for some reason that line made me crack up pretty badly. They all started dancing in the store in their Joe C. costumes. (Most of them dancing, Big Cat kind of just swaying side to side.)

Men's Fashion Guide On Wearing Socks
To contact us Click HERE
Socks, probably one of the most overlooked article of clothing, actually have the capacity to render a man's respectability to zero if they are worn wrong. Even if you are wearing a thousand dollar suit and an equally expensive pair of leather shoes, they will all seem irrelevant if you pair them with white gym socks.
So to prevent you from making a fool out of yourself because of poor sock choices, here is a short guide on how a real man chooses and wears socks.
1. Dress shoes warrant the use of dress socks
Even if your sports socks are black you should never wear them with classy dress shoes. Athletic socks have a thick and rather fluffy weave, so they do not really match with the sleek and stylish look of dress shoes. If you do try to wear your gym socks with dress shoes you will find that they bunch over the sides and top of the shoes, which looks a bit goofy.
And do not by any means commit the sin of wearing white socks with dress shoes! Doing this just instantly advertises to anyone (and every woman) in your vicinity that you are completely clueless when it comes to dressing yourself.
2. Your socks should match your pants, not shoes
A lot of people are confused with this rule, a lot of people still think that the socks should match the color of the shoes, which is incorrect. The reason why socks should match the pants is because when you are sitting down (which is the only time that your socks are clearly visible) you want a solid line of color that connects your pants to your shoes. If you have socks that do not match your pants it creates a break in the line of color which breaks the flow of your entire outfit.
3. Do not wear socks when wearing sandals or shorts
Sandals are designed to be worn with just your bare feet, you will only look goofy if you wear socks with your sandals so do not even bother.
Another occasion where socks should be avoided is when wearing shorts. Socks with shorts will only make your legs look stumpy. If you really do need to wear socks with your shorts, invest in a good pair of ankle socks that are not so visible over your shoes.
4. Novelty socks are a No No
If you really want to be taken seriously then why would you want to wear bright yellow socks with SpongeBob Squarepants embroidered at the sides? The only people that these kinds of socks will ever look good on are those aged 3 or below, so if you can read this guide then you are probably too old to wear novelty socks.

Season 4 Episode 7 of Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Factory
To contact us Click HERE
Monday's episode of Fantasy Factory was titled "Kid Lightning," and it featured Rob training to wrestle in the WWE for a Make-A-Wish foundation event. In my opinion, the wrestling scene in this episode was one of the best scenes in the entire series. You could tell those kids were so excited to meet Rob and it was very touching to see how he impacted those kids lives.
The episode opened with the crew inside the Fantasy Factory, and Big Cat and Drama were dragging this huge mat towards Rob's office. Chanel was standing there, and Rob said something to the effect of, "Watch out for Chelsea!" For those of you who don't know, Chelsea is Chanel's real first name. Chanel is actually her middle name, but she chooses to go by Chanel because she doesn't like Chelsea too much. Chanel told Rob she hated that name, and that fueled Rob to continue to call her that, and even sing a song about it. The entire crew started chiming in and singing "Chelsea Dudley." It was so funny, Rob started imitating things Chanel might say, and said he almost wants to create a "Chelsea Dudley Musical."
After that, the opening credits rolled and when we got back Rob was in the factory inside of a wrestling ring. Drama walked in and you could tell he was immediately nervous about what he saw. Rob told Drama to get over to the ring, and Drama was hesitant. The wrestler in Rob then took over, and he jumped out of the ring, ran over to Drama and pulled him in. He started pushing him around a little bit, and while Drama was on the ground, Rob got up onto the side of the ring and body slammed Drama. Drama kept repeating "Why are we doing this?!" and Rob just kept wrestling.
Rob - "You want to know what your defense could be as a wrestler?"
Drama - "huh?"
Rob - "Greasy face. I felt like I was holding on to a stick of butter."
Drama - "Can't catch me!"
Rob and Drama continued wrestling and then Big Black appeared. You could tell he was very excited about this because he jogged over to the wrestling ring and wanted to join in on the fun. This seemed like a flashback of the "Cancun" episode of Rob and Big, when Rob, Drama, Big Black and Bam Bam went to Cancun and took on the persona's of Flashito, Sexy Boy and Big Water.
Anyways, the guys continued to wrestle, and then Rob explained why he had the wrestling ring. Rob said that he got contacted by the Make-A-Wish foundation, and there were 14 kids whose wish was to meet Rob. Every year the WWE flies Make-A-Wish kids out to Wrestlemania, and they asked Rob if he would go out there to meet the kids. Rob said he would love to go out there, but he didn't want to just meet the kids. He wanted to wrestle as well. The WWE said that would be no problem. Rob immediately had an idea of him flying in on his skateboard on a ramp, into the wrestling ring, and slamming the other wrestler. Big Black and Drama wanted to be involved somehow, and Rob said he'd figure something out for them.
Drama - "I want to be in it."
Rob - "Okay, you're a greasy, slippery guy?"
Then Rob proceeded to fill Big Black in on how Drama's face was all greasy when they were wrestling earlier.
Drama - "That's from my hair product!"
Rob - "You got hair product on your beard? What is it? Beard honey? You got beard honey, beard butter to make your beard shine?"
Then Drama asked Rob if the WWE knew that Rob had no idea how to wrestle, and Rob assured Drama that by the time of the event, he would be a pro.
Drama - "You're already doing the wrestler point thing."
Rob (while pointing and getting closer to Drama) - "Well look, I'm gonna tell you one thing. You can keep DOUBTING me, acting like I CAN'T GET IN THE RING AND PUT IT DOWN LIKE A 6'10 400 POUND MONSTER, BUT I CAN TELL YOU RIGHT NOW, YOU WILL BE GRAVELY MISTAKEN!"
In the next scene, Rob appeared in Big Black's office, ran up on him and went up to hit him in the chest. Big Black didn't flinch at all and Rob questioned him on it.
Rob - "You didn't think I was going to kick you through the wall?"
Big Black - "I'm pretty big, it's going to be pretty tough to get me through that wall."
Rob explained to Big Black that the Make-A-Wish foundation is a pretty big deal, and he said that the kids have no idea that he is actually going to be wrestling. Rob wanted to make the experience unforgettable for the kids and he wanted them to be able to play a part in it. He said he needed to come up with a character or prop, something the kids could also do. Rob walked away for a minute, and came back into the office with a ponytail like thing hanging off the back of his head.
Big Black - "Let me guess. Pony Boy."
Rob - "Flying Rat."
Big Black started cracking up and Rob showed Big Black what the Flying Rat could do. He also got a rat tail for Big Black. He put it on the back of his head and Big Black looked pretty funny.
Big Black - "You got the back rat tail, your boy rollin the front rat tail."
Then Big Black put the rat tail on the top of his head, and flipped it up. Rob parted the hair a little bit and it looked hilarious!
Rob - "You look like Hulk Hogan! This is like Hulk Hogan-ified right here."
Rob started laughing - "Oh my god! You are the receding nightmare!"
Haha, this was a hilarious scene. The Flying Rat and The Receding Nightmare. It worked perfectly!
Big Black - "If a kid sees me like this, I'm gonna hurt a kid's soul."
Rob - "We don't want that. We need something more friendly to the kids."
Rob ended the scene by saying that he needed to get a true WWE superstar into the Fantasy Factory to figure something out. There was a commercial break, and when we got back, Rob was practicing rolling into the ring on his skateboard and body slamming Drama. Big Black was helping to spot Rob as he flew into the ring, and on one attempt, Big Black was ready to help, but while Rob was mid-air, he switched to a ninja-like kick and Big Black jumped out of the way. Luckily there was a mat there, because Rob slammed into it and fell to the bottom of the ring.
The scene cut to the front doors of the factory, where we see someone in black boots and a kilt walk in. The camera pans up and we realize it's superstar WWE Wrestling legend, Rowdy Roddy Piper. Chanel walked him into the Factory and he took in the surroundings. He watched as Rob flew into the ring on his board and then he introduced himself to Roddy Piper. Roddy asked Rob why he wants to wrestle, and Rob said he always had a dream of making an entrance like that, since he knows no one else can do it. He said the problem is, he has no idea what to do once he gets into the ring. Roddy told him that's what he is here for.
Roddy Piper- "You'll give them a great performance, but if you go out with the thought of giving them your heart, you can't make no mistakes."
Rob then started to brainstorm wrestling names with Roddy.
Rob - "What do you think of when a guy is flying through the air? Lightning...Kid Lightning?"
They decided that Kid Lightning is a good name, but if Rob chooses that name, he has to be fast. They decided that Big Black would provide the thunder, and Drama can be hail. Hail Boy to be exact. Rob and Roddy started working on what lightning will be when it strikes, and it was so fun to watch! Rob and Roddy got in the ring and started working on moves for Rob's match.
Rob (in his wrestling voice) - I SUGGEST YOU WALK LIGHTLY AND WHEN YOU HEAR THE THUNDER, YOU STAY INDOORS. CAUSE YOU NEVER...NEVER KNOW WHEN LIGHTNING IS GOING TO STRIKE! BAAAAHHHHHH!"
In the next scene, Rob was about to introduce Drama and Big Black to their costumes for the event. Drama and Big Black walked into Rob's office, and Rob was hiding in a corner wearing a huge black outfit and a blue wig. Big Black asked Rob what was going on, and Rob explained that the black outfit was Black Thunder's outfit. Drama asked what was up with the blue wig, and Rob replied that it was for Hail Boy. Rob removed the black jacket to reveal a bright blue suit for Hail Boy to wear. They started cracking up because it honestly looked SO ridiculous. At this point I could only imagine how hilarious Drama would look in the blue suit with the blue wig. After that, Rob took off the blue suit to reveal his Kid Lightning logo on a t-shirt. The logo looked great (obviously, because it was created by Tracy Tubera.)
Rob told Big Black and Drama that he was going to give each kid their own Kid Lightning shirt, and he also was going to give them a custom Kid Lightning board, just like the one he was going to fly in on. It was so generous of Rob, I could tell the kids were going to be so excited!
After that scene, it was time to fly to Atlanta. Rob, Big Black and Drama arrived at Wrestlemania, and they were greeted by David Williams, the President of the Make-A-Wish foundation. David told Rob that these 14 kids could have wished for anything in the world, and the one thing they wanted was to meet Rob. Rob explained how humbled he was, and he walked into the room and was greeted with cheering and applause.
Rob, Drama and Big Black went around to each of the tables and signed and took pictures with the kids. One of the boys asked Drama where Chanel was and it was SO CUTE!
Boy - "Where's Chanel?"
Drama - "She didn't make it. You wanted to meet her, huh? She's a cutie!"
Rob explained to the kids how he was going to be wrestling, and he said he got everyone front row seats for the event. The kids were super excited! Rob told the kids that if things start getting rough out there in the ring, he is going to need everyone to start chanting "Lightning! Lightning! Lightning!" They practiced the chant, all changed into their Kid Lightning shirts and then it was time for Rob to wrestle!
Rob went in the back and met up with Rowdy Roddy Piper and learned who he would be up against in the match. It was going to be Rob and Roddy Vs. Tyson Kidd and Zack Ryder, two professional WWE wrestlers. Right away Roddy told Rob that they didn't like him very much (typical wrestling talk) and they were not happy about some random skateboarder coming in trying to wrestle. They went to get changed and Hail Boy and Black Thunder looked AMAZING! Rob came out in his Kid Lightning t-shirt and some customized boots and it was awesome. Seeing him next to Roddy Piper was great! They got pumped up for the fight. Big Black made his thunder noise, and Drama attempted to make some sort of a hail noise but it just turned out awkward. Then, there was a commercial break.
After the commercial, it was time to head into the ring. Tyson and Zack were introduced first, and then Rowdy Roddy Piper came out.Roddy introduced Hail Boy and Black Thunder, and then came Kid Lightning with an incredible introduction! He nailed his entrance into the ring, and then it was time for the shit talk.
Other team - "Kid Lightning, you think because you come into the ring on a skateboard, that makes you entertaining?! These people came here to see Tyson Kidd and Zack Ryder!"
Boo's filled the arena and then it was Kid Lightning's turn to speak.
Kid Lightning - "Okay, okay, look. I don't care if you call me a skateboarder, alright? But I was taught by the greatest legend, the superstar of superstars, the strongest, realest iron man of wrestling! Hod Rod, Rowdy Roddy Piper! So you can whoop de woo all you want, but you never know when lightning is gonna strike! Let's GO!"
This was met by cheers from the crowd and the match started. For a minute there it kind of looked like Rob was getting his ass kicked, but you know he turned the match around. Everyone started chanting "Lightning! Lightning!" just like they practiced at the meet and greet. Hail Boy pulled Kid Lightning out of the ring and he disappeared for a second. He appeared at the top of the ramp, and he rode into the ring, and body slammed his opponent, winning the match.
This was so incredible to watch. Like I said, I think it was honestly one of the best scenes in the entire Fantasy Factory series. I don't even really care for WWE, but this was SO MUCH FUN to watch. I know wrestling is all fake, but it was amazing and so well done. The crowd was cheering and Black Thunder carried Kid Lightning out of the ring.
Backstage, Rob said his thank you's to Roddy Piper for helping him out with this. You could tell Rob had a blast. They went out and took a group photo with all the Make-A-Wish kids, and that ended the episode. I loved it, it was SO great. One of my favorites. I think right now it's a close match between "Dodging Devil Donkey's" and this episode.
Also, I want to take a second to thank the Fantasy Factory crew for sending me this INCREDIBLE gift in the mail. It was so great to come home to this large package from MTV. I will forever be grateful for how generous Rob, the Fantasy Factory staff and the staff at Dyrdek Enterprises always are. They are some of the nicest people in the world.
Next week, the crew heads to New Orleans for Mardi Gras and top open a new Safe Spot Skate Spot. Don't forget to watch, Monday, May 23rd 10:30/9:30pm Central on MTV!

Until next time...
The episode opened with the crew inside the Fantasy Factory, and Big Cat and Drama were dragging this huge mat towards Rob's office. Chanel was standing there, and Rob said something to the effect of, "Watch out for Chelsea!" For those of you who don't know, Chelsea is Chanel's real first name. Chanel is actually her middle name, but she chooses to go by Chanel because she doesn't like Chelsea too much. Chanel told Rob she hated that name, and that fueled Rob to continue to call her that, and even sing a song about it. The entire crew started chiming in and singing "Chelsea Dudley." It was so funny, Rob started imitating things Chanel might say, and said he almost wants to create a "Chelsea Dudley Musical."
After that, the opening credits rolled and when we got back Rob was in the factory inside of a wrestling ring. Drama walked in and you could tell he was immediately nervous about what he saw. Rob told Drama to get over to the ring, and Drama was hesitant. The wrestler in Rob then took over, and he jumped out of the ring, ran over to Drama and pulled him in. He started pushing him around a little bit, and while Drama was on the ground, Rob got up onto the side of the ring and body slammed Drama. Drama kept repeating "Why are we doing this?!" and Rob just kept wrestling.
Rob - "You want to know what your defense could be as a wrestler?"
Drama - "huh?"
Rob - "Greasy face. I felt like I was holding on to a stick of butter."
Drama - "Can't catch me!"
Rob and Drama continued wrestling and then Big Black appeared. You could tell he was very excited about this because he jogged over to the wrestling ring and wanted to join in on the fun. This seemed like a flashback of the "Cancun" episode of Rob and Big, when Rob, Drama, Big Black and Bam Bam went to Cancun and took on the persona's of Flashito, Sexy Boy and Big Water.
Anyways, the guys continued to wrestle, and then Rob explained why he had the wrestling ring. Rob said that he got contacted by the Make-A-Wish foundation, and there were 14 kids whose wish was to meet Rob. Every year the WWE flies Make-A-Wish kids out to Wrestlemania, and they asked Rob if he would go out there to meet the kids. Rob said he would love to go out there, but he didn't want to just meet the kids. He wanted to wrestle as well. The WWE said that would be no problem. Rob immediately had an idea of him flying in on his skateboard on a ramp, into the wrestling ring, and slamming the other wrestler. Big Black and Drama wanted to be involved somehow, and Rob said he'd figure something out for them.
Drama - "I want to be in it."
Rob - "Okay, you're a greasy, slippery guy?"
Then Rob proceeded to fill Big Black in on how Drama's face was all greasy when they were wrestling earlier.
Drama - "That's from my hair product!"
Rob - "You got hair product on your beard? What is it? Beard honey? You got beard honey, beard butter to make your beard shine?"
Then Drama asked Rob if the WWE knew that Rob had no idea how to wrestle, and Rob assured Drama that by the time of the event, he would be a pro.
Drama - "You're already doing the wrestler point thing."
Rob (while pointing and getting closer to Drama) - "Well look, I'm gonna tell you one thing. You can keep DOUBTING me, acting like I CAN'T GET IN THE RING AND PUT IT DOWN LIKE A 6'10 400 POUND MONSTER, BUT I CAN TELL YOU RIGHT NOW, YOU WILL BE GRAVELY MISTAKEN!"
In the next scene, Rob appeared in Big Black's office, ran up on him and went up to hit him in the chest. Big Black didn't flinch at all and Rob questioned him on it.
Rob - "You didn't think I was going to kick you through the wall?"
Big Black - "I'm pretty big, it's going to be pretty tough to get me through that wall."
Rob explained to Big Black that the Make-A-Wish foundation is a pretty big deal, and he said that the kids have no idea that he is actually going to be wrestling. Rob wanted to make the experience unforgettable for the kids and he wanted them to be able to play a part in it. He said he needed to come up with a character or prop, something the kids could also do. Rob walked away for a minute, and came back into the office with a ponytail like thing hanging off the back of his head.
Big Black - "Let me guess. Pony Boy."
Rob - "Flying Rat."
Big Black started cracking up and Rob showed Big Black what the Flying Rat could do. He also got a rat tail for Big Black. He put it on the back of his head and Big Black looked pretty funny.
Big Black - "You got the back rat tail, your boy rollin the front rat tail."
Then Big Black put the rat tail on the top of his head, and flipped it up. Rob parted the hair a little bit and it looked hilarious!
Rob - "You look like Hulk Hogan! This is like Hulk Hogan-ified right here."
Rob started laughing - "Oh my god! You are the receding nightmare!"
Haha, this was a hilarious scene. The Flying Rat and The Receding Nightmare. It worked perfectly!
Big Black - "If a kid sees me like this, I'm gonna hurt a kid's soul."
Rob - "We don't want that. We need something more friendly to the kids."
Rob ended the scene by saying that he needed to get a true WWE superstar into the Fantasy Factory to figure something out. There was a commercial break, and when we got back, Rob was practicing rolling into the ring on his skateboard and body slamming Drama. Big Black was helping to spot Rob as he flew into the ring, and on one attempt, Big Black was ready to help, but while Rob was mid-air, he switched to a ninja-like kick and Big Black jumped out of the way. Luckily there was a mat there, because Rob slammed into it and fell to the bottom of the ring.
The scene cut to the front doors of the factory, where we see someone in black boots and a kilt walk in. The camera pans up and we realize it's superstar WWE Wrestling legend, Rowdy Roddy Piper. Chanel walked him into the Factory and he took in the surroundings. He watched as Rob flew into the ring on his board and then he introduced himself to Roddy Piper. Roddy asked Rob why he wants to wrestle, and Rob said he always had a dream of making an entrance like that, since he knows no one else can do it.

Rob and Roddy started working on what lightning will be when it strikes, and it was so fun to watch! Rob and Roddy got in the ring and started working on moves for Rob's match.
Rob (in his wrestling voice) - I SUGGEST YOU WALK LIGHTLY AND WHEN YOU HEAR THE THUNDER, YOU STAY INDOORS. CAUSE YOU NEVER...NEVER KNOW WHEN LIGHTNING IS GOING TO STRIKE! BAAAAHHHHHH!"
In the next scene, Rob was about to introduce Drama and Big Black to their costumes for the event. Drama and Big Black walked into Rob's office, and Rob was hiding in a corner wearing a huge black outfit and a blue wig. Big Black asked Rob what was going on, and Rob explained that the black outfit was Black Thunder's outfit. Drama asked what was up with the blue wig, and Rob replied that it was for Hail Boy. Rob removed the black jacket to reveal a bright blue suit for Hail Boy to wear. They started cracking up because it honestly looked SO ridiculous. At this point I could only imagine how hilarious Drama would look in the blue suit with the blue wig. After that, Rob took off the blue suit to reveal his Kid Lightning logo on a t-shirt. The logo looked great (obviously, because it was created by Tracy Tubera.)
Rob told Big Black and Drama that he was going to give each kid their own Kid Lightning shirt, and he also was going to give them a custom Kid Lightning board, just like the one he was going to fly in on. It was so generous of Rob, I could tell the kids were going to be so excited!

Season 4 Episode 8 of Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Factory
To contact us Click HERE
This episode of Fantasy Factory was titled "Joe C. and the Magic Goatee." If you are a long time Rob and Big/Fantasy Factory viewer, or you follow skateboarding closely, you know that Joe Ciaglia is a big deal. Joe owns California Skateparks and California Skateparks is the company that builds all of the incredible skate spots you see on Fantasy Factory. They build ALL of Rob Dyrdek's Safe Spot Skate Spots, all of the courses for Street League, the world's biggest skateboard and the Fantasy Factory. They've also built skateparks all over the country. Rob decided to dedicate this episode to Joe C, since he has done so much for him.
I was shocked to see that MTV was promoting this episode as the season finale of Fantasy Factory. I knew that more footage was shot. A few of the pros from Street League went over to the factory to film footage for the season finale, so it didn't make sense that this was it. Also, there was a clip in the Best of, Bonus and Behind the scenes that featured a "hug horn," and we never got to see that footage.
After a little bit of research (me tweeting Shane Nickerson) I learned that there ARE two more episodes left in season 4 of Fantasy Factory. MTV might decide to air them before Ridiculousness starts up in August. I don't know why MTV decided to cut the season short, but I do know that TONS of fans are not happy about it. I got tons of tweets on both my personal account and on @TeamDCFantasy from fans who were just as surprised as I was to learn this was the finale. Later on, Rob Dyrdek tweeted what Shane had already told me, there are two more episodes, and MTV hasn't decided when they want to air them.
While this is disappointing news, all we can do at this point is hope that those episodes do air sometime in the future, and we can look forward to Ridiculousness in a few months. I personally can't wait to see Ridiculousness on TV. I know the fans will love it!
edit - After I started writing this re-cap, the Fantasy Factory page on Facebook said something along the lines of "Oops, I guess there are two more episodes left this season! Don't forget to watch Monday's at 10:30/9:30 central on MTV!" I am still a little bit confused as to what they mean. I checked the guide on comcast and Fantasy Factory isn't scheduled to be on this Monday. I am actually hoping it isn't on this week because the fans now think that the season is over, so I'm afraid no one will be watching. Hopefully MTV does a ton of promoting before they decide to air the last two episodes. I will do all I can to inform everyone as soon as I know for sure when the episodes will air. If you don't already, follow me on twitter at @shygirl364 or on the fan account I share with Natasha, @TeamDCFantasy.
Alright, now on to the re-cap. The episode opened with Rob entering his office with Big Cat, Drama and Big Black already in there. Rob told Drama that if man-thongs were ever made popular, he knows Drama would be on it first. Then Rob proceeded to drop his pants, pull his boxers up and show the crew what a man-thong would really look like. Rob started rubbing his ass on Drama and Drama didn't want any part of it. It was a hilarious scene and after that, the opening credits started to roll.
When we got back, Rob had various garbage cans set up on the conference table in his office. There were also tennis balls, and Rob, Drama and Big Black were betting on who could make the hardest shot bouncing the balls into the garbage cans. $300 was on the line and Rob ended up winning. While Rob was cheering, celebrating his victory, Chanel brought Joe C. into the office.
The reason Rob brought Joe C. in was to tell him about an unclaimed plaza that Rob owns in Shreveport, LA. Rob said that the park has been around for 5 years, but it's so horribly built, he has been ashamed to claim it as his own. Rob projected photos of the skate park onto his big screen TV in the office, and it wasn't pretty. The Mayor of Shreveport gave Rob Dyrdek the key to the city and Rob felt it was only right to go in there and re-design that skate park so kids have a better place to skate. Rob was talking to Joe about the skate park, and he was clearly distracted by Joe C.'s goatee.
Rob - "We can make it beautiful man. I can't..I, I'm just so focused on his goatee right now. I'm trying to look him in the eyes and get passion out, and all I see is goatee right now."
Big Black - "You are the GOAT. Greatest Of All Time."
Rob - "I've said it a million times, you're goatee is half your power!"
Rob ran out of his office and came back with a little statue of Joe C.'s head.
Rob - "I'm going to tell the people of Shreveport that you can thank this (pointing to the goatee on the statue) for this (the key to the city.)
Drama - "Just the goatee?"
Rob - "Just the goatee because it's got magical powers. I bet if we shaved that and all drank it, we could build anything in the world."
In the next scene, the world's biggest skateboard was getting tied onto a truck. Rob grabbed the Joe C. statue and called Big Cat over. He told Big Cat to grab the rest of the crew and gather everyone by the world's biggest skateboard. Once everyone was there, Rob hopped onto the skateboard and explained to everyone how Joe C. has changed everyone's life. Rob said Joe C. isn't being honored the way he should be. All they had was that little bronze statue, but Rob wanted to do something bigger. Rob told everyone that the weekend of the opening of the new skate plaza, Mardi Gras was also happening in New Orleans. Everyone got super excited, and Rob said that he wanted to take the world's biggest skateboard and turn it into a float during the Mardi Gras parade.
Rob - "Go get some beads out there! Chanel could flash her boobs all over the place, you know what I mean?"
Chanel - "I'm not gonna flash my boobs."
Rob - "Put your boobs out there! It's for beads, it's like part of culture down there. It's like saying 'Oh, I don't want to breathe or drink your water.'"
Rob said he wants to honor Joe C. by making a Joe C. float. Rob took the small bronze Joe C. statue and smashed it.
Rob - "Forget that crappy little bronze, peeping tom, weird little sculpture face. We are going to honor him with this float, in a way that he never even thought possible."
Rob attempted to get off the top of the world's biggest skateboard by grabbing onto the zip line rope that was right above his head. Not a very well thought out idea, because he couldn't jump from there to the ground. Big Black came over and Rob dropped perfectly onto his shoulders, haha.
There was a commercial break, and then the crew arrived in Shreveport, LA. They were on their way to the skatepark and Rob said he didn't know if he even wanted to see it. He said he has blocked it out of his mind all this time. They pulled up and it was awful. Chanel called it a dump. Joe C. was already there figuring out his plans for the park. The crew met up with him and Joe said it was going to take some work to fix it up. We saw all the horrible rails and ramps. There was even a broken electrical box in the middle of the park. It was in pretty bad shape.
Drama - "It's almost like you're just teasing these kids. 'Hey, this is almost a skate park..'"
Rob was talking to Joe C. about the timing and how there really isn't too much time to get this park built. While they were talking, Chanel was visibly freezing. When you are from Southern California, cold weather can be somewhat of a shock. The group decided to try and warm her up by creating a circle around her and jumping up and down. It was so funny because Chanel is so tiny, we could only see the top of her head while they were jumping!
Rob told Joe that he absolutely needed to be at the Mardi Gras parade, so this park needed to be finished ASAP. Joe built the world's biggest skateboard, and it's been in parades, but nothing like Mardi Gras. He needed to be there to see it. Also, Joe C. didn't realize that the entire float would be dedicated to him and his goatee. Rob and the crew huddled around Joe C. for a group hug.
Rob - "Oh, I just got really rubbed down by that great goatee right there. I've never been touched by another man's goatee before."
Drama - "I think that's a good thing."
Rob - "I felt a tingle!"
Drama - "Like a Brillo pad?"
Rob - "No! It felt like..magic!"
They left Joe C. to work on the skatepark and the crew headed to New Orleans. Their first top was the place where all the Mardi Gras floats were made. They needed a professional to help perfect their Joe C. float. While they were there, they saw some amazing floats.
Rob - "Look at this place of giant magic things! This is a giant magical land!"
They met with JxPx, a professional float builder, and he was going to help them turn their idea into an amazing float. Rob noticed how every float in the warehouse had a giant head on the front. Rob wanted to get a giant Joe C. head for the front of their float. JP said they could make that happen.
Drama - "It'll be amazing. Everyone else lined on the street will be like, 'This is awesome, but I don't know who this man is.'"
Big Black - "How about we all dress up as Joe C.?"
They discussed all getting goatees and Chanel was a little hesitant, but she went for it. Rob told Big Black that he already kind of had one built in.
Big Black - "Oh yeah, I'm ready!"
Rob - "We'd have to flair it up a little bit."
Big Black - "I'll blond it out."
JP - "Like the reverse!"
Rob hopped up onto the skateboard and explained how everyone will be a Joe C. in a different form. Warlock Joe C., Tiger Joe C....
Rob - "One could be a Princess Joe C.! Who wants to be the princess Joe C.?!"
Chanel (raising her hand) - "Me!"
They decided to call the float "Joe C. and the Magic Goatee." Rob and the crew decided they were going to go get their goatee's and outfits so they could be ready for the parade. They left the float in JP's hands, and went off for their costumes. There was a commercial break, and when we got back, we saw a little bit of California Skateparks demolishing the old park and building the new one.
The crew was heading out to the wig shop.
Chanel - "I'm excited to get into the princess outfit, but I feel like the goatee is going to kill my whole steez."
Rob - "How could it kill your steez when you've got Joe C's magic Goatee?"
They went into the wig shop and right away found some beards and mustaches. Rob put his on first and it looked perfect! Next, Big Black got his blond wig on.
Rob - "Reverse Joe C. is going to be SO INCREDIBLE!"
Drama got his wig on and they were all cracking up!
Chanel - "He looks like that one Beatle!"
Haha, Chanel was totally right, it was super creepy how much Drama resembled George Harrison! Big Cat got his on, and then they tied Chanel's blond hair up and put a Joe C. wig on her. Rob put her beard and mustache on.
Rob - "This is such a pretty little Joe C.!"
Drama - "Joe She!"
Haha, for some reason that line made me crack up pretty badly. They all started dancing in the store in their Joe C. costumes. (Most of them dancing, Big Cat kind of just swaying side to side.) Next stop was the costume shop. Drama put on a colorful prince outfit, and then Chanel came out as Princess Joe She.
Rob - "Oh my god, such a pretty Joe C.!"
Rob came out in an Indian outfit.
Big Black - "Warrior Chief Joe C.!"
All of a sudden we hear Big Cat's voice. "I think this is a little too much..." Then Big Cat comes around the corner in this SPANDEX cat suit. All I could think of is poor Big Cat. This outfit was HILARIOUS! The guy has been through so many ridiculous outfits this season, but I think this one takes the cake as far as craziest.
Rob - "This man is about to commit to a 3.5 hour parade in a Tiger Onesie!"
Big Cat - "It's that long?!"
Drama - "He's like the most fragile little tiger you've ever seen!"
Rob found some wings that matched Big Cat's outfit and decided to turn him into a Tiger Fairy. Rob called him the Joe C. Tiger Fairy, it was honestly so hilarious!
After that, there was a commercial break and then it was time for the parade. It was raining outside, but that didn't stop the Mardi Gras fun! They headed out to the parade and they saw their float for the first time. It looked SO GOOD! Rob said that it was a perfect looking Joe C. head, and then Joe C. showed up to see it. It looked like Joe loved it, and then Rob introduced him to the crew.
Rob - "Joe D (Rob), Joe DB (Drama), Joe BB (Big Black), Joe BC (Big Cat), and Joe She (Chanel)."
Rob showed Joe C. how the float was named "Joe C. and the Magic Goatee." Rob thanked Joe C. for everything he's done, and Joe C. gave hugs to everyone. He even gave Joe She a little peck on the cheek.
Rob - "Things got weird, things got weird! You wanna make love to your fairy self?! Go make love to your fairy self! (pointing to Big Cat)"
Joe C. gave Tiger Fairy Joe BC a slap on the ass, hahaha. You could tell Big Cat was not expecting that one! Too funny! The parade got started and the crew was having a blast throwing beads and goatee packs out to everyone in the crowd. Joe C was sitting on the big purple chair on the float and the rest of the crew were dancing around and entertaining. The camera panned the crowd and tons of people were wearing Joe C. goatees. It was so hilarious! The parade ended and then it was time for the opening of the new skatepark. Tons of people showed up and it was pretty incredbile.
Rob (to Joe C.) - "I think you did an incredible job but I can't see it right now because it's covered with people."
We saw a few before and after pictures of the skatepark, and Joe C. did great like always. Rob got on the microphone and explained about how when he got the key to the city, he felt he didn't deserve it, and he had to come back to Shreveport, LA and make the skate park right. Rob explained how Joe C. (with the help of his magic goatee) was able to transform the park and make it incredible. They cut the red ribbon on the skatepark and let the kids try it out. The crew signed autographs and then headed home.
Rob - "We got to honor the great Joe C., we got to build another park. Got to make a lot of people happy on this trip. Now let's get home!"
That ended the episode. It was another great episode. I really enjoyed it.

Don't forget, follow me on twitter @shygirl364 for the latest updates as to when the final two episodes of season 4 will air on MTV! Also, I am heading out to Kansas City, MO for Street League in a couple weeks, so expect a full review of my trip when I get back!
Until next time...
I was shocked to see that MTV was promoting this episode as the season finale of Fantasy Factory. I knew that more footage was shot. A few of the pros from Street League went over to the factory to film footage for the season finale, so it didn't make sense that this was it. Also, there was a clip in the Best of, Bonus and Behind the scenes that featured a "hug horn," and we never got to see that footage.
After a little bit of research (me tweeting Shane Nickerson) I learned that there ARE two more episodes left in season 4 of Fantasy Factory. MTV might decide to air them before Ridiculousness starts up in August. I don't know why MTV decided to cut the season short, but I do know that TONS of fans are not happy about it. I got tons of tweets on both my personal account and on @TeamDCFantasy from fans who were just as surprised as I was to learn this was the finale. Later on, Rob Dyrdek tweeted what Shane had already told me, there are two more episodes, and MTV hasn't decided when they want to air them.
While this is disappointing news, all we can do at this point is hope that those episodes do air sometime in the future, and we can look forward to Ridiculousness in a few months. I personally can't wait to see Ridiculousness on TV. I know the fans will love it!
edit - After I started writing this re-cap, the Fantasy Factory page on Facebook said something along the lines of "Oops, I guess there are two more episodes left this season! Don't forget to watch Monday's at 10:30/9:30 central on MTV!" I am still a little bit confused as to what they mean. I checked the guide on comcast and Fantasy Factory isn't scheduled to be on this Monday. I am actually hoping it isn't on this week because the fans now think that the season is over, so I'm afraid no one will be watching. Hopefully MTV does a ton of promoting before they decide to air the last two episodes. I will do all I can to inform everyone as soon as I know for sure when the episodes will air. If you don't already, follow me on twitter at @shygirl364 or on the fan account I share with Natasha, @TeamDCFantasy.
Alright, now on to the re-cap. The episode opened with Rob entering his office with Big Cat, Drama and Big Black already in there. Rob told Drama that if man-thongs were ever made popular, he knows Drama would be on it first. Then Rob proceeded to drop his pants, pull his boxers up and show the crew what a man-thong would really look like. Rob started rubbing his ass on Drama and Drama didn't want any part of it. It was a hilarious scene and after that, the opening credits started to roll.
When we got back, Rob had various garbage cans set up on the conference table in his office. There were also tennis balls, and Rob, Drama and Big Black were betting on who could make the hardest shot bouncing the balls into the garbage cans. $300 was on the line and Rob ended up winning. While Rob was cheering, celebrating his victory, Chanel brought Joe C. into the office.
The reason Rob brought Joe C. in was to tell him about an unclaimed plaza that Rob owns in Shreveport, LA. Rob said that the park has been around for 5 years, but it's so horribly built, he has been ashamed to claim it as his own. Rob projected photos of the skate park onto his big screen TV in the office, and it wasn't pretty. The Mayor of Shreveport gave Rob Dyrdek the key to the city and Rob felt it was only right to go in there and re-design that skate park so kids have a better place to skate. Rob was talking to Joe about the skate park, and he was clearly distracted by Joe C.'s goatee.
Rob - "We can make it beautiful man. I can't..I, I'm just so focused on his goatee right now. I'm trying to look him in the eyes and get passion out, and all I see is goatee right now."
Big Black - "You are the GOAT. Greatest Of All Time."
Rob - "I've said it a million times, you're goatee is half your power!"
Rob ran out of his office and came back with a little statue of Joe C.'s head.
Rob - "I'm going to tell the people of Shreveport that you can thank this (pointing to the goatee on the statue) for this (the key to the city.)
Drama - "Just the goatee?"
Rob - "Just the goatee because it's got magical powers. I bet if we shaved that and all drank it, we could build anything in the world."
In the next scene, the world's biggest skateboard was getting tied onto a truck. Rob grabbed the Joe C. statue and called Big Cat over. He told Big Cat to grab the rest of the crew and gather everyone by the world's biggest skateboard. Once everyone was there, Rob hopped onto the skateboard and explained to everyone how Joe C. has changed everyone's life. Rob said Joe C. isn't being honored the way he should be. All they had was that little bronze statue, but Rob wanted to do something bigger. Rob told everyone that the weekend of the opening of the new skate plaza, Mardi Gras was also happening in New Orleans. Everyone got super excited, and Rob said that he wanted to take the world's biggest skateboard and turn it into a float during the Mardi Gras parade.
Rob - "Go get some beads out there! Chanel could flash her boobs all over the place, you know what I mean?"
Chanel - "I'm not gonna flash my boobs."
Rob - "Put your boobs out there! It's for beads, it's like part of culture down there. It's like saying 'Oh, I don't want to breathe or drink your water.'"
Rob said he wants to honor Joe C. by making a Joe C. float. Rob took the small bronze Joe C. statue and smashed it.
Rob - "Forget that crappy little bronze, peeping tom, weird little sculpture face. We are going to honor him with this float, in a way that he never even thought possible."
Rob attempted to get off the top of the world's biggest skateboard by grabbing onto the zip line rope that was right above his head. Not a very well thought out idea, because he couldn't jump from there to the ground. Big Black came over and Rob dropped perfectly onto his shoulders, haha.
There was a commercial break, and then the crew arrived in Shreveport, LA. They were on their way to the skatepark and Rob said he didn't know if he even wanted to see it. He said he has blocked it out of his mind all this time. They pulled up and it was awful. Chanel called it a dump. Joe C. was already there figuring out his plans for the park. The crew met up with him and Joe said it was going to take some work to fix it up. We saw all the horrible rails and ramps. There was even a broken electrical box in the middle of the park. It was in pretty bad shape.
Drama - "It's almost like you're just teasing these kids. 'Hey, this is almost a skate park..'"
Rob was talking to Joe C. about the timing and how there really isn't too much time to get this park built. While they were talking, Chanel was visibly freezing. When you are from Southern California, cold weather can be somewhat of a shock. The group decided to try and warm her up by creating a circle around her and jumping up and down. It was so funny because Chanel is so tiny, we could only see the top of her head while they were jumping!
Rob told Joe that he absolutely needed to be at the Mardi Gras parade, so this park needed to be finished ASAP. Joe built the world's biggest skateboard, and it's been in parades, but nothing like Mardi Gras. He needed to be there to see it. Also, Joe C. didn't realize that the entire float would be dedicated to him and his goatee. Rob and the crew huddled around Joe C. for a group hug.
Rob - "Oh, I just got really rubbed down by that great goatee right there. I've never been touched by another man's goatee before."
Drama - "I think that's a good thing."
Rob - "I felt a tingle!"
Drama - "Like a Brillo pad?"
Rob - "No! It felt like..magic!"
They left Joe C. to work on the skatepark and the crew headed to New Orleans. Their first top was the place where all the Mardi Gras floats were made. They needed a professional to help perfect their Joe C. float. While they were there, they saw some amazing floats.
Rob - "Look at this place of giant magic things! This is a giant magical land!"
They met with JxPx, a professional float builder, and he was going to help them turn their idea into an amazing float. Rob noticed how every float in the warehouse had a giant head on the front. Rob wanted to get a giant Joe C. head for the front of their float. JP said they could make that happen.
Drama - "It'll be amazing. Everyone else lined on the street will be like, 'This is awesome, but I don't know who this man is.'"
Big Black - "How about we all dress up as Joe C.?"
They discussed all getting goatees and Chanel was a little hesitant, but she went for it. Rob told Big Black that he already kind of had one built in.
Big Black - "Oh yeah, I'm ready!"
Rob - "We'd have to flair it up a little bit."
Big Black - "I'll blond it out."
JP - "Like the reverse!"
Rob hopped up onto the skateboard and explained how everyone will be a Joe C. in a different form. Warlock Joe C., Tiger Joe C....
Rob - "One could be a Princess Joe C.! Who wants to be the princess Joe C.?!"
Chanel (raising her hand) - "Me!"
They decided to call the float "Joe C. and the Magic Goatee." Rob and the crew decided they were going to go get their goatee's and outfits so they could be ready for the parade. They left the float in JP's hands, and went off for their costumes. There was a commercial break, and when we got back, we saw a little bit of California Skateparks demolishing the old park and building the new one.
The crew was heading out to the wig shop.
Chanel - "I'm excited to get into the princess outfit, but I feel like the goatee is going to kill my whole steez."
Rob - "How could it kill your steez when you've got Joe C's magic Goatee?"
They went into the wig shop and right away found some beards and mustaches. Rob put his on first and it looked perfect! Next, Big Black got his blond wig on.
Rob - "Reverse Joe C. is going to be SO INCREDIBLE!"
Drama got his wig on and they were all cracking up!
Chanel - "He looks like that one Beatle!"
Haha, Chanel was totally right, it was super creepy how much Drama resembled George Harrison! Big Cat got his on, and then they tied Chanel's blond hair up and put a Joe C. wig on her. Rob put her beard and mustache on.
Rob - "This is such a pretty little Joe C.!"
Drama - "Joe She!"
Haha, for some reason that line made me crack up pretty badly. They all started dancing in the store in their Joe C. costumes. (Most of them dancing, Big Cat kind of just swaying side to side.) Next stop was the costume shop. Drama put on a colorful prince outfit, and then Chanel came out as Princess Joe She.
Rob - "Oh my god, such a pretty Joe C.!"
Rob came out in an Indian outfit.
Big Black - "Warrior Chief Joe C.!"
All of a sudden we hear Big Cat's voice. "I think this is a little too much..." Then Big Cat comes around the corner in this SPANDEX cat suit. All I could think of is poor Big Cat. This outfit was HILARIOUS! The guy has been through so many ridiculous outfits this season, but I think this one takes the cake as far as craziest.
Rob - "This man is about to commit to a 3.5 hour parade in a Tiger Onesie!"
Big Cat - "It's that long?!"
Drama - "He's like the most fragile little tiger you've ever seen!"
Rob found some wings that matched Big Cat's outfit and decided to turn him into a Tiger Fairy. Rob called him the Joe C. Tiger Fairy, it was honestly so hilarious!
After that, there was a commercial break and then it was time for the parade. It was raining outside, but that didn't stop the Mardi Gras fun! They headed out to the parade and they saw their float for the first time. It looked SO GOOD! Rob said that it was a perfect looking Joe C. head, and then Joe C. showed up to see it. It looked like Joe loved it, and then Rob introduced him to the crew.
Rob - "Joe D (Rob), Joe DB (Drama), Joe BB (Big Black), Joe BC (Big Cat), and Joe She (Chanel)."
Rob showed Joe C. how the float was named "Joe C. and the Magic Goatee." Rob thanked Joe C. for everything he's done, and Joe C. gave hugs to everyone. He even gave Joe She a little peck on the cheek.
Rob - "Things got weird, things got weird! You wanna make love to your fairy self?! Go make love to your fairy self! (pointing to Big Cat)"
Joe C. gave Tiger Fairy Joe BC a slap on the ass, hahaha. You could tell Big Cat was not expecting that one! Too funny! The parade got started and the crew was having a blast throwing beads and goatee packs out to everyone in the crowd. Joe C was sitting on the big purple chair on the float and the rest of the crew were dancing around and entertaining. The camera panned the crowd and tons of people were wearing Joe C. goatees.
