>> Yeah. Yeah, it really does. You can only do so many. Ah, he did not wave.
>> Oh, it was night time.
>> Yeah, it was night time.
>> Yeah, that's why I don't remember anything.
did not look like this. But it Yeah, it was night and I don't think we went multiple roads. I think we just went one road. Oh, this is >> Yeah, we did take like one road and then Yeah, I remember taking that left under like some arches. Maybe that was the arches.
>> Uh, I guess we'll see. We got some nice I think >> these mountains look kind of crazy, though. They look crazy, dude. I got up this morning. I was like, "What the I thought we were in an arid step, but we're not. We have like crazy Salt Lake City mountains all around us."
>> Salt Lake City. But they look like erected from gods, pulled out of the earth.

>> Please don't squish me. Please.
>> Oh, that's fun. Oh, that's fun.
Oh, huge nuclear plant. Damn, we're getting on a nuclear.
>> Yeah, I feel like I don't drive in America and see. Well, I guess I don't drive that cross country a lot.
>> Yeah, I did. Why have you ever done Did I asked you this? Have you done like the full America cross country?

>> That's where I was at. I was like, France for sure.
>> For some reason, they seem like nuclear heads.
I feel like India, though.
I could imagine that. Yeah. And then now I feel like China has to be up there >> just based on our own personal anecdote.
Yeah.
>> Yeah. Sample size of two two American idiots. But we have seen like I think at this point like 10 nuclear cooling stacks. What the That's crazy.
>> 10 but the only 10 I've ever seen in my life.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's comprised every single bit.
And I don't know like how much I guess we're like judging it based on the just the smoke stacks which I know is just to dissipate I think it's just to dissipate heat but I assume that's like scaled to the amount of power you're producing and yeah I've never seen one in America anywhere.
>> Yeah them better.
>> I don't know. Maybe they >> Yeah, right. Yeah. That's a pretty good place to do it.
>> These mountains are intimidating.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm entering the domain of an old god who doesn't want me to be here.
>> Yeah, it's better than going through it at night. That would be >> true.
I actually would hate this at night.
>> Yeah.
>> Whoa. Whoa. What the This looks so much better than the six days of rain.
>> I think is is our best day. Like 20°.
It's like 70 sunny.
I guess we'll see.
I guess we'll see if we're allowed to enter this domain without being pissed rain on.
I think we're done for rain for the rest of the trip though. That's my hope and prayer and belief and genuine belief.
>> Uh yeah, 100%. You put up a weather report. There's not an ounce of rain that's been dropped in this arid step in over a thousand years.
>> Check that out.
>> Check out Oh he dead. half dome.
half dome up here.
>> Half dome, bro.
>> Alex Hold.
>> Hey, get on this >> You watch Alex Hold uh freaking whatever. I forget the building. The Taipei 10. Is it Taipe 101? Is that what it's called?

>> He's walking it in the red shirt. Yeah.
very hard to see.
Your eyes are so good. My eyes.
>> I got glasses. So, >> I'm throwing up everywhere, >> dude. I think I'm going to become a glasses guy.
>> I think you pull it off.
>> What What made you with glasses, not a contacts guy?
>> Uh, I never I thought I always thought glasses look kind of good. I thought they looked cool and I more so than that, the thought of putting contacts into my eyes every morning disgusts me.
It revolts me.
>> Yeah, I don't like the touching the eyeball part.
>> Gross, right? And and you have to remember to take it off before bed or it like really hurts your eyes.
>> Yeah, that. Do >> you have a girl at your school who did colored eye contacts?

>> We had a suit Fridays guy.
>> A suit Fridays guy. Ah, that's kind of fun. At least he keeps you on a schedule. Let you know.
>> Yeah. And then we had a suit everyday guy and he spoke in a British accent but his parents weren't British.
>> Huh. That's really fun.
>> He had formed himself.
We had a uh we had a smells bad all the time guy.
>> Oh yeah. I mean those are dime a dozen.

>> We had a um make uh like dry ice bombs out of train cleaner guy. That only happened once, though. He >> That's a bad one, right?
>> Well, it's like dry ice bombs. It's not like real bomb. It just makes a loud bomb sound.
>> Aren't there ricochets of dry ice?
>> Ah, it's whatever. But like what he did instead of dry ice, it's the same concept. if you had 2 lers and it's the same idea, but instead of dry ice and water, it's um uh drain cleaner and tin foil balls. And it did essentially the same thing, I guess. And dude, he was doing it for one day at the bus stop and then we never saw him again cuz I think he got expelled forever.
>> Yeah, that is a no tolerance. Peace out.
>> Yeah. Yeah, it really was.
>> That our equivalent is just a girl who brought knives to school.
Oh wow, a girl. You guys had special time.
>> She brought knives to school. But if you bring knives to school, you got to tell people you brought knives to school. So she instantly told >> What's the point of bringing knives to school if you don't?
>> Cuz you could easily bring knives to school and just keep them in your bag and tell no one and then go home.
>> Yeah. Yeah. I think I did a couple times on accident and they were just in there.
But yeah, I I didn't get expelled, but she got what? Suspended or fully expelled?
>> She got expelled. Yeah.
>> Expelled. Holy >> Yeah, the big the big expel expulsion.
You ever get detention?
>> Yeah, all the time. A bunch.
>> All the time.
>> Yeah, all the time. Well, okay. So, >> before you go, can we pull over here for a second? I got a freaking >> I got a text from Dan, I think. And I just want to make sure it's not like we forgot something crazy.
>> Fair. Fair. I'm down to take a look.
>> Pagota.
>> This place looks crazy. This should look like Zion National Park.
>> Yeah, it kind of does. 90. What the is that? What the is that?
>> Yeah, in America that would be a national I mean maybe it is a national landmark.
>> I'm just getting I'm just getting pinged for nothing.
>> I dead ass got p Okay, so the weather app doesn't work right.
>> Yeah, >> I got pinged about possible rain in >> Washington.
>> Washington state.
>> Oh, cool.
>> Possible rain today.
>> We'll let him know. And I can't even use the weather app, so I don't know.
>> That's cool. You're the only one who can say things.
>> I'm going to stop it.
>> If there's a lookout, we should go stop at it. I'm sure there is.
>> 100%. This is crazy.
>> This really makes me want to drink Red Bull while playing Invincible versus >> God site like this, >> right? Am I right?
>> Put up an AT&T stat tracker for how many mountains there are.
But This little pagota, not pagota, what do you call it?
>> I was with you on >> pagota is the stacked building. Uh, >> Oh. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Um, >> this is like the uh, not a carousel. Oh, >> definitely not a carousel. Coulder.
>> Um, >> Not a veranda. Not a veranda. It's like uh >> No, I'm not going to get there. Oh, >> we have to. We have to spend the rest of the drive through about this house appreciating nature.
>> Life without a phone. Should I go?
>> Look, >> I hesitated enough to separate you.
>> It was like the worst amount of hesitation I could have had.
>> Watch this.
>> Okay. What's it called? Double propane tank. Lariat.
>> This one's called feet up. Feet up on the tank path. Oh, I hate when you do this, bro.
>> Dude, come on. There's two cars. Two cars. Two cars. Two cars. Three cars.
Three cars. Three cars. Three cars. Four cars. Four cars.
>> Four cars coming. And then it's clear after the fourth car. The taxi, I think.
Very clear after.
Whoa.
>> Very clear. Still clear. Still clear.
Still clear. Still clear.
>> Thank you.
>> Absurdly clear.
Okay. So, tell me about >> What the hell was that? Never mind. This is the best day. Just the rain. The waterfall back there is like kind of a waterfall.
>> Dude, my eyes are I saw the shadows and I was like, I can't see the dark.
>> Dude, get some glasses. You could behold the world in its natural luster. Or would you do contacts?
>> I would. I think I'd do glasses.
>> Yeah, glasses are cool and they're pretty convenient. They kind of just stop feeling them after you put them on for a while.
>> What's uh what's your detention story or your several?
>> Oh. Oh. Oh, yeah. Yeah.
I uh Okay. I ended up having I think like almost a hundred detentions um senior year.
>> Okay, dude. That doesn't make sense.
That's >> okay. And but here's the reason why is because our class had uh it had a little case of you know senioritis. We weren't showing up to class uh late you know early. And so in like the 25 years of the school had existed uh they instituted for the first time a rule that was like if you are late to any class you get detention. And this like is for any class throughout the day not just like you know one one per day. You could stack them like whatever x amount of classes per day. You could get that many amount of detentions. And like, oh, this looks crazy.
>> This does look insane.
>> That little step down there with the tunnel.
>> Yeah, I saw it. What the is this?
Um, yeah. And so I mean I would just show up like sometimes I would drive myself to school and I would just drive past the school and I just go up on the mountain and like eat food and like look at the luster of God's beauty and uh and just go show up to class like 45 minutes late like and I'd miss the first class or and I just generated many detentions.
>> But did you go >> what to class >> to the detentions?
>> Oh yeah. So yeah, I mean, yeah, it was more of like a number thing, right? It was like, yeah, you could go burn off a detention after, but you could also get teachers to like take off detentions.
And I was real cool with the band teacher, so he would take off like 10 detentions at a time.
>> Is he the one that slept with?
>> No, no, no. Different band teacher.
Different band. This is a great band teacher.
>> Okay. Great band teacher.
>> This is Mr. Nagata. He was a great band teacher. Still >> fire up there is cool.
I want to go up to the fire, but I don't know how.
>> We're joining the Fire Nation.
>> I want to go to Fire Nation.
>> I want to go Fire Nation.
>> The >> Dude, I had like a a sleeping bag in the band room where I I hid it behind some boxes and I could take naps.
>> Damn, that's awesome.
>> It was really sweet. I hid it behind.
Why are you so tired every day? Uh, it's like playing League of Legends or Yeah, like playing League of Legends or just on YouTube or just like doing anything at night. I love being up at night in high school.

>> Yeah. Yeah. This is awesome.
>> Are you turning on my phone?
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yours your yours is on already. Just got to roll your 360.

>> I mean, he was kind of a man of few words. He was just like walked up, gave us the sword.
>> Yeah. He just pointed and gave us a sword. I'm not saying no, you know. I'm not going to tell him no. He grabbed some pics and then he left. And then as he was driving, he kind of did like a follow me symbol.

>> Oh, cool. First car you ever bought.
That's crazy.
>> Uh, yeah. Pretty good deal. I think I got it for 80 8,500, I think.
>> Yeah. I don't know the price of them, but it doesn't look too bad. It served you well.
Yeah. I mean, I've had it damn almost 10 years.
>> Wow. Do you ever still drive it?
>> I gave it to Christian. He drives it out.
>> Oh, that's cool.
>> When he first moved out here.

>> How much when you got it? Do you put a bunch on?
>> Maybe 70. Yeah. I mean, >> yeah, plenty.
>> No, maybe less. I put like probably 60 70 I think on it.
Another waterfall.
Dude, this area is so pretty, bro.
>> Yeah, it's probably the most majestic One of the most majestic things. Is it the best ride you've ever had?
>> This um I don't know. I need some time to process it. I think I need to let it sink in.
>> Is this our friend?
>> Do you think he's up here? Do you think we should go up here?
>> Yeah, probably. I wonder if they're up here.
>> I do want to find him, but I don't know if he's up here or >> I think there's a good chance. There's a good chance. a bunch of people.
>> Let's just drive. I'll find out.
He has me on WeChat chat. He'll message me.
>> This is definitely one of the more beautiful rids I've ever been on. This is mine for sure.
This is crazy.
>> I don't even know where this is going.
Uh maybe this isn't right.
Think so. I don't know.
>> Something cool.
>> Yeah. Right.
>> Yeah. Yeah, if they got the flags and like cars were able to drive.
>> It is paved like really nice.
>> Yeah. Better than some of the main roads.
>> Uh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Way better.
>> Dude, are those homes?
Someone's house >> went >> to the right. You see that?
>> Someone's house. Someone's shack.
Ah, that would be N. That's >> Now, is that a puebla?
>> Is that a pueblo?
>> No, just sorry. Just stick with me.
Historically speaking, is that a pueblo?
>> Is that an adobe hut?
>> I do think we're going to a village.
>> To a village? It looks like it.
>> Maybe we Papa.
>> Yeah. Yeah. you.
>> Oh, no. It splits off to the Oh, >> Ah, very interesting.
>> Okay. Jacked up. Not even jacked up.
Just a car.
>> I'm on team Papu. What do you think?
>> Yeah, let's do it.
>> Gone this far. Keep going.
What? What does that go to? Yeah, maybe we go like up to the crest.
>> All right. All right.
Crest it is.
H. Yeah. Little town. Okay.
>> Looks like it ends here to the village.
Yeah.
>> Yeah. It's cool though.
>> So, we could go on the other one.

>> Whoa, dude. People just live up here in this That's nuts.
I'm going to let this.
>> All right, there we go. That was fun.
Holy Yeah, it's like some village in the mountains, then you know they're acting crazy.
Oh, I got so much piss in my balls.
Why do I have to pee so quickly sometimes? You know what I mean?
>> Yeah, you broke that seal.
>> Yeah, it does feel like that's a real thing though.
>> I think it is. I think it's like you you start sensing your like your wiener or like you start like feeling it, you know? Does that make sense?
>> Like you're like become aware then >> evolutionarily it seems dumb. No, >> dude. A lot of things can dumb evolutionarily. I agree.
>> True.
Yeah. Like I have to pee crazy right now. And I peed at the waterfall.
>> But I have to make pee again.
>> What's your number one hanging question?
>> What's my number one hanger question?
>> Yeah. Um, I think the first one I wrote in there was the same one I asked him at dinner and he didn't have a answer for it.
>> How does fish drink water?
>> How does fish drink water?
>> Does fish drink water?
>> Does fish drink water?
>> Does fish Yeah. Does fish drink water?
You know, like living stuff needs water.
>> And they're But they're fish. They live in salt water. Like they they don't drink I mean maybe they do drink salt water but like is that how they get like get their water >> cuz we can't drink salt water.
>> No, it's a good ass question cuz really though how does fish drink water or even does it >> right? Um yeah, we got uh I don't know.
I have like maybe like 30 questions in there.
>> Damn.
>> Oh, isn't that them? I don't know.
I can't tell if the same guys.
Sure. What the P?
Got your boy on the back of your mouth.
You head to the greater Klingon mountain range. just see this >> Yeah, that's the dream.
>> It is.
>> That's the f Let's trash one of our bikes. This occur? Yeah, it. Hey, it might happen.
It >> might. Today might be the day.
>> I disabled the ABS on Ledwick's front tire. What's going to happen?
>> Tucker Carlson.
>> Interesting.
>> Is this them? How many white >> every white car with two Chinese men in it?
>> Is this my Pongao?
>> Are you by Puga?
Are you going to be my Pogo today, RTO Chad?
>> Dude, I have a decision paralysis cuz there's too many cool things to go up.
>> And so we're Well, you know what? Even when we don't make a decision, it's a cool thing. This is just crazy as this as a place conceptually.
>> Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep.
>> Yep. That This This blinker is on. This blinker on.
>> Damn, bro. People just really went up to a mountain and built a house there.
>> Yeah, right.
>> It's a good strat, I guess.
>> Yeah. I wonder what like um you know you're probably in the plains biome living and then for some reason you want to leave. I wonder why you choose the mountains. Like is it to get away from people or is it like they have maybe more wood or more resources in the mountains?
>> For sure it's a get away from people angle, right?
>> Honest to God, yeah, is what it feels like >> cuz plains biome there's not a single advantage over mountains biome. I can't imagine >> plains biome. You think there's >> like like I don't think mountain the main advantage of mountain biome is that you're more protected >> by the natural >> Yeah. Yeah. the landscape >> like for resources wise there's nothing that mountain biome I guess they have like ore in caves.
>> Yeah. But they didn't know about that for a while.
>> I think caves though. Like I could buy like the caves argument. Like you want the caves just cuz they got rock.
>> Well, it's a natural home and you don't have to worry about building a shelter.
You just use a cave, >> I guess. Yeah, but they I don't know. I don't know. Yeah, you just get But then you just get one cave. Is everyone going to live in one effing cave? Maybe they have more trees up here than down in the plains.
>> I Yeah, I think some mountain biomes Yeah. I mean, sometimes you climb up cuz then Yeah, there's no trees. Yeah, that's a good one. That's a good one.
>> Yeah, dude. This looks so cool. It reminds me of uh I was in like uh the the uh Italian the Dolommites.
>> Um >> the what?
>> I was in the Dolommites in Ital in northern Italy once.
>> Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
>> I rented a motorcycle there and it looked pretty crazy like this. Just like the most insane beautiful landscapes. No one was allowed to live there though, I think. Like in the mountains.
>> Oh yeah.
Yeah, I think that's good. Otherwise, Larry Ellison and Oprah Winfrey are going to buy it all up.
And then you got the Dolomite Winfrey Mountain that you can't climb up.
>> Where's that? The same spot.
>> Is there what?
>> Where's that?
>> No, I'm saying that's what will happen if if you allow people to live there.
>> Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
>> Oprah Winfrey is going to buy it up.
>> Yeah. The Don't mind Oprah Winfrey. She closes down the entire hood. Dude, Oprah Winfrey.
Oprah Winfrey, bro.
>> Open the road, Oprah.

>> I got my locked.
>> Okay. My first one is going to be why does the rocks do that?
>> Yeah. Uh that's a fair one.
>> How does the rocks cuz it doesn't do it where I come from. The rocks. It must be a different kind of rock. I guess I'm curious. Yeah, >> because the rocks don't form like you would think a rock forms.
>> Yeah. Yeah. They like just stand straight up. They don't give a about I don't know falling.
>> Some of them stand straight the up.
>> I'm instantly going to Billy Billy. I'm looking up schwagamu and I'm seeing what the that guy posts and whatever his first video is, I'm doing it in English.

his counterpart.
>> I'll be his counterpart.
>> Uh, okay. I do need another lookout point.
>> Okay. Am I crazy? Has every car that's passes been white?
>> No, it has. It has. As to confuse you further. It's It's kind of weird cuz at first I was just looking out for white car. Okay. And there's a theory. And there's a theory. Exploded into one.
>> Whoa. Bridge.
>> No shooting the monkeys. There's two signs. One said monkey here. The other says no shooting.
>> And then no shooting them.
>> I think that's fair. I would not want the monkeys to be shot.
>> Dude, totally reasonable. Yeah. I want to see a monkey in the wild. That'd be sweet. I would I've never seen a wild monkey, >> dude. I'm going to smear a thing of peanut butter on the DJI Nano and I'm going to give it to the monkey and I'm going to put an air tag on it and then we're going to see what the they do in a dayto-day.
>> That's not a bad idea. That's not a I like that idea right there. I like that idea right there.
>> Dude, there's so few people on this road.
>> Yeah, for how pretty it is. All the All the truckers I feel like are gone.

>> The only thing that came up was a message that said, "I am unparalleled."
>> You did look pretty unparalleled. What does that mean?
>> I am not meeting you.
>> I am not parallel to you. Like, maybe that means he pulled off like he's >> he's perpendicular.
>> Dude, you know what I think it means?

>> I I think it's an auto greeting from WeChat when you add someone.
And I think it's I am unparalleled.
>> Yeah, it's like a it's like a you know Yasuo voice line.

I wonder who's more powerful, the Chinese truck driver or the American truck driver.
>> They're both quite powerful.
>> They're both very powerful, though. The American truck driver is cuffed by by big go to sleep by big go to sleep machines. I don't know if the Chinese have that.
I think they do.
Surely, right?

>> I I think mountain people are different from like high altitude people, you know?
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah, these guys are I mean Yeah, I guess these guys are not even like that high altitude. They're just on a kind of a big mountain.
>> But it seems like harder because we're probably lower altitude than we were a couple days ago, but there's no farmland here.
>> Yeah. I wonder what they do. Oh, I guess they make like uh that's what you do in like Peru. You make like those kind of stairst step looking things.
>> They have one over there.
>> Yeah, it is.

>> It's troubling my mind. Yeah.
This is uh this is what it was like pre just looking up.

>> Yeah.
>> Good thing we don't have that.
>> Yeah. Yeah.

I said I had to apply. I'm like, bro, I have two degrees. Just let me in.
>> Yeah, from your college, right?
>> What do you mean I got to apply? I'll just pay you for the credits. You don't got to do more.
>> Yeah, it is silly. I was thinking about auditing a couple of UCLA classes a while ago, but then uh I didn't. Maybe I still will. I think it'd be fun because you can just go I went to a couple USC classes a few days one time just for funsies. Uh you just walk into the goddamn building and sit there which is nice.
>> Was it fun?
>> Yeah, that was pretty fun. I just like compite classes. I mean they weren't I mean it was as fun as a compsite class could be, >> right?
Yeah. I feel like the at least for online classes, the idea of like admissions is stupid.
It's so dumb. Yeah.

>> Careful. It's dusty.
>> It is dusty.
It's dusty and I'm dangerous.
>> Dusty, Dad.
>> What?
>> I got to go to college to learn what that thing in your backyard is.
>> Yeah.
Um, no. I'm not going to get it. I'm I'm genuinely thinking of there's a Hallmark movie. I think it's Cinderella. They did a Hallmark remake and they they go to one in there and that's where they meet.
>> And that's what I'm thinking. That's all that's in my head right now.
>> And then like Gooden reviewing the movie is also in my head.
>> I'm going non-verbal. to to lock and think about it.
>> Mind palace time. Do you have a mind palace?
>> Nah, I I I I did that um when I was studying for psych test in high school, but that's the only time I ever did it.
It was like semi useful.
>> Yeah, I tried creating my mind palace. I had a I had a room.
>> Yeah, my mind room.
>> My mind room. It was pretty bare.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Not very interior decorated.
What were you trying to put in there?
>> I just watched Sherlock on HBO.
>> Yeah, dude. I love Sherlock.
>> And he had a mine palace. I was like, I want a mine palace.
>> Was that the one with Benab Cumberbatch?
>> Uh, yeah. Benedict Cumberbatch.
>> Yeah, >> I used to love that show until it became weird. Car passing.
It's disrespectful cuz I'm the one who opened the lane for him, but it's all right.
>> Yeah, it's not fine. We just kind of broke round here. It's >> whatever, bro.
I'll try not to take it as a slight.
>> We're still going upies.
Dude, w pass.
>> Yo, what the man?
>> That's awesome.
>> Oh, I want some of them crackers.
You hungry?
>> I want to know what that thing in your backyard is, >> dude. That's the thing about my brain. I just stopped thinking about it.
>> I just stopped thinking about it. Lol.
>> Those crackers were yummy.
>> How is there a gas station up here?
>> Run out of gas for getting up here. Oh, it's a Sopack, I think. No, it's a liveop.
>> Dude, they do. There's Okay, so we were told there's two gas stations you can go to. But it is crazy how many other gas stations LAR as those two gas stations >> cuz those are the two quality gas stations.
>> Like I've seen them attempt the same logo, the same name, like so many of the same sort of features >> going on.
It It's It's a little bit of a scam. I don't know if that's like surely it's intental, right? It's so intentional.
Like they know what they're doing. It be really hard not to do it.
>> But maybe it's like restrictions on what your logo can be if you're a gas station. I don't know.
>> Do we miss it?
>> It's cool up here regardless. I'm sure we'll see another scenic area.
>> True.
sign of go by. Excuse me.
Yeah, that's that farmland.
>> Yeah, they made it happen.
>> Whoa, this is weird.
How do you say cool in Chinese again?
>> Cool.
>> Yeah, >> I thought it was just cool. Cool.
>> Yeah. How do you say it?
>> Cool.
Cool.
>> Cool.
>> Cool.
>> Yeah, I think they get it.
>> Like how a person from Sweden says cool in English.
>> Yeah. Cool. Cool.
>> Cool. Very cool.
>> Not that cool.
I'm trying to think of where in America this reminds me of and I I got nothing.
Um, mountain village probably Bakersfield.
>> Everything is just Bakersfield.
>> If you are from China, take a one ticket flight to Bakersfield, California.
You're going to be like, "Oh my god, >> is this China right at home?" Right at home.
I wonder what province thinks their don't stink.
>> Sichuan, they got so much world renown.
>> I mean, they got like the food, but I don't know if they have like the the natural beauty.
>> Yeah.
Yeah. I'm not sure which one has that.
>> Like California gets to claim a lot.
>> Yeah, California gets so much.
>> They get a lot.
>> It totally deserves it. They got so much.
>> Yeah. It's crazy that it's got insane natural beauty and then also like the most arable farmland in the world or some Just like an insane amount of it.
>> That's a win-win there.
Look at the dub on it.
>> Oh, I shook a little pee out my body.
>> Ah, minus one minute. You can last.
>> You can pull up a piss whenevers. Also, if I can't last, I'm I I want to be I'm just like I'm excited to see if the road goes up more.
>> Yeah, fair.
But it feels like we're on a mountain top. But >> I also keep feel Oh, what the hell?
There is like that picture of an awesome temple.
>> Maybe we should go to that.
>> I'll say, man, the 208 blows the 207 out the water.
>> It's true. It is a little cooler and a little better in every way. Just just by a little bit.
>> They just took the 207. They took everything wrong with it and they fixed it in the 208. I said, "Let's make it better. Let's give it less potholes."
>> Uh, the most beautiful scenery you've seen in a very long time.
>> Yeah, sounds like a plan. What is oiling bay? A bay is sea level, right? That can't be right. Or is it bay?
>> Uh, surely the yang sea isn't up here as well.
>> If it's up here, we got to get some of that water over to America. Yeah, she's the go.
>> Okay, we're actually going down now.
Oh, Dude, a Y intersection is so ass.
>> Driving in China.
>> 335 kilometers. I wonder what city that is. Yeah, it has to be big, huh?
>> He looks like he wants to take a left turn right into me.
>> Dude, I think you stop him for the cameras, I think.
>> Oh, yeah. That is the Chinese secret to all the cameras that flag your speed.
>> Just go slow, idiot. When you go to the cameras, they go fast.
>> Just go slow for 2 seconds, lol.
Uh, okay. I'm going to find a place to pull over and drop a load.
>> Drop a load of cream in the grass.
Is there any reason to clean a car?
>> So, it's not dirty.
>> Yeah. Is that Is it just for the look of it or does it also like protect?
>> Uh, I think it like I mean I think it's just the paint, you know, will like lose its luster if it's dirtier more, but that's also just for looks.
Um, I clean my bike like kind of, you know, not too often, but fairly often just cuz like I don't want a bunch of grime getting in like the fork seals or like the, I don't know, little bits and bobs and I think it doesn't really matter that, you know, much, but, you know, I probably like 10% it helps. Probably less for a car. I don't know though cuz it's just outside, you know? You don't clean in the engine.
>> Do you think watching ourselves is social or is that I guess that also is bacteria and >> Yeah, I think Yeah, I think it's bacteria. I think you feel gross.
>> Oh, yeah. I'm not going to pull over.
>> All right. All right. Let's do it anywhere here. Anywhere on the right that looks like I can hide behind a tree and pee.
>> What? where our bikes won't get sideswiped by a truck.
>> You get to pick one.
>> Pick one. Be hidden or don't get sideswiped.
>> Pick one up.
>> Be what? Natural oxygen bar. Hold the phone. Huh?
>> That could be lit. And I don't know how that's possible.
>> Yeah. What does a natural oxygen bar mean?
>> Natural? Yeah. Oxygen comes from the world, so it's natural.
>> This part of the world produces oxygen naturally. Doesn't every wear?
>> Yeah. Yes, it does.
>> There's something I don't understand about the world.
Maybe up here.
>> Hey, how's it?
>> I bumped it.
Station.
>> Oh, we're at a gas station.
>> Okay, >> you can choose a different spot.
>> We can keep going.
>> Yeah, let's keep going. Otherwise, they'll come out and we're going to say, "Hey, we don't want your gas because we were told it's too watery."
>> There's water in there. Sorry.
>> Sorry. It's what we were told. Sorry.
>> Oh, thumbs up. Yay.
We got a thumbs up. The last guy had a thumbs up. Yay. Was it the guy driving or guy in the back?
>> The guy in the back.
>> Not it doesn't feel as good. Don't say.
>> Yeah.
>> You got to take it where you can get it though.
>> True.
>> I'm scared to pull over on this road cuz the sides too.
>> Dude, maybe I'll just piss myself.
Yeah, just let it dry.
>> It's sunny out. Like, what are we complaining about?
Well, I'm glad we got to experience the best road in China so far.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Like two days in a row, those were like the best days.
>> Yeah.
It's the opposite of Japan. Well, I guess Okato is really pretty. It was really hard.
>> Idle was magic.
>> That was my favorite day was the day that we went uh >> our type two fun day.
>> Yeah, after Saporo. Dude, I thought it was just like nice in the moment. It just looked No, not the type two fun day. That was hard.
>> Not the walking night time.
>> Oh, like Lake Toya.
>> It was after Sapuro. The day after Sapper.
>> Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
>> When we were on the coast. Yeah.
>> Where we went to camp. where we went to camp. Yeah. Yeah.
>> Yeah. That was crazy.
>> Yeah. It's crazy that >> we were told you can camp anywhere cuz I don't see.
>> Dude, who told you that? I mean, I forget where I heard it, too. But they were like, "Yeah, you're going to have to camp where? Maybe here. This is a little easier than uh near all the farmland and This could work.
>> All right.
>> Okay.
Okay.
>> All right. Goodbye forever.
