We have been blessed with many a wife guy over the years.

In 2017, Curvy Wife Guy broke out into the scene when he shared how brave he was for loving his “thicker” wife. In 2019, we were introduced to Cliff Wife Guy, who hilariously filmed his wife dramatically “falling” off a “cliff” that was about two metres high.

Then, in 2020, there was Shredded Cheese Wife Guy, a man who was furious at servers preventing his wife from getting some much needed shredded cheese for her fajitas during the pandemic.


But in 2021, it seems like we have grown past the need for wife guys. In fact, in 2021, we are making the full pivot to husband girls. So may I introduce to you: JetSki Husband and Car Hit A Pole Wife.

Wait. Don’t close the article. Please. Just hear me out.

Meet Dee Stemple, a wife from California who accidentally ran the back of her car into a pole. After realising the damage, Stemple decided to call her husband home so she could break the news, which gave us the glorious, but shocking, footage of a man riding a literal jetski down the street.

Sorry, a “scootski” — as the couple like to call it.

The TikTok is genuinely the most baffling thing, I, and the almost 3.5 million people who have watched the video on the platform, have ever seen.

“What was he doing? Chasing dolphins on the freeway,” one top comment read. “THIS MAN CAME IN LIKE DAVID HASSELHOFF FROM SPONGEBOB,” said another.

Thankfully, instead of just scooting (heh) on past the whole “my husband rides a jetski down the streets of California while wearing crocs” thing, Stemple made a follow-up video explaining, well, everything.

“He actually built it himself, and I’m gonna take you for a little tour,” Stemple says before Jetski Husband gives a tour of the “scootski” and the couple go on a little joyride.

“It’s actually a Burgman 650 scooter. I modified it and took all the plastics off so you could actually fit the jetski.”


But I’m sure you’re asking, wait? What the hell was Jetski Husband’s reaction to the dented car? Well Car Hit A Pole Wife gave an update on that one too, explaining that “he wasn’t happy with me for about 10 minutes then got over it lol”.

As unbelievably weird as the whole thing is… I’m also kinda jealous. So which single man out there has an on-road jetski, and is need of a wife who is really good at backing into poles? Hit me up.
