You eat your cereal with WATER?!
I give death
You should have said that they STOPPED the stop sign war
Change the name of Wendover Productions to Quarter as Interesting
This can end up in 2 ways, eighter the countries will compete in maintaining the road, to boast about having the best part of it, this will lead to a excellent road, or neighter of countries want to be the one to fix the road, and it becomes a hot potato, this will lead to a very shitty hot potato road as both countries are pretty stubborn

"If you're bored of stealing stop signs and starting international incidents..."
Those are both things that I'll never get bored of doing.
I guess we have to talk about roads when no one is using planes anymore.
Covid 19: "Where were going, we don't need roads"
Just think, we can use spare roads to park unused planes on.
Math teachers still do.
@@vladutcornel If we're playing word games, so do woodworkers and some spiritualists and mediums.
There will be alot more cargo flights so you'll be seeing more cargo planes which is good i guess? I mean, you dont get to see them everyday back then

Please don't try this. you will get diarrhea. trust me
France: "All your Cerdaña are belong to us"
Spain: "All right, but you didn't say anything about towns".
It's an old meme, but it checks out
make your time :-)
Catalonia: "It's all our land".
This is all supposed to distract you from the fact that half as interesting was supposed to do a video on bricks.
I'm STILL wanting to watch the rest of that video... Lol
I desire a History of Bricks à la Bill Wurtz's History of Japan. I am completely serious. I need it.
Same here.

There's a motorway that keeps running in and out Ireland and northern Ireland, so if you're driving along the road the signs keep switching from metric to imperial
Of course this isn’t a political problem because no border does exist, but it is incredibly inconvenient if you’re driving past.
@@wintrwunderland why not just use both systems on all of them
@@algotkristoffersson15 Because printing one sign that says “Welcome to…use these units for a while” is probably cheaper than multiple signs with double the information
can we talk about how he pronounced spanish tho???? “spain-ish”
Can we talk about him putting water in his cereal???
Can we talk about the lack of bricks in this episode, too??
And how he pronounced Llivia?
And how he pronounced Puigcerdà? Also, you have to drive through Bourg-Madame to get to Llívia!
And then Americans get salty when people mispronounce their name
Reminder to people who get this in their recommended 5 years from now: This video was released during the 2020 coronavirus pandemic.

Oh, you mean the Early 21st Century Coronavirus Pandemic?
Implying there will be a 5 years from now
People who got this in their recommended, did he make a video about bricks?
Imagine pouring your water before your cereal-us cool kids pour cereal before water.
Wait... why do you use water? Why not soy milk?
Only normies pour cereal before milk
i pour dr pepper on my cereal

How he said "CONTROVERSIAL"
That's the joke
Thank you!!! for a minute I was like... is that the correct liquid?
I mean water is just unsweetened, unflavored orange juice. I know some people who are on a diet and choose to eat cereal with water rather than orange juice.
@@ahmadalkhateeb1180 Orange juice?!
Dafuq man. Da-bloody-fuq.

Me: A what?
It’s the inside, but out.

I don’t really look at comments I honestly didn’t know
"controversial would be saying that I pour the water before the cereal"

lol it's like a double controversy
Wait isn't a double negative a positive?
my exact thoughts
Someone: How much stock footage do you need?
HAI: Yes.
Last time I was this early this was known as That Wikipedia List
"After some squabbling, The war of stop signs came to a stop"

"Putting the water before the cereal"
I see that you're perfecting the art of getting comments.
Very well explained! I have the pleasure of living very close to this site and I use this particular road a lot. Nowadays we and the french even share a hospital in the vicinity of that border.
Spain: It's my road
France: It's my road
Soviet Union: Correction, it's OUR road.
"War of the Stop Signs, the dumbest war since the ones with the emus and that other one in Iraq."
PREACH
In spanish and catalan "ll" is pronounced similar to the y in "you"
Llivia isn't pronounced like Lybia ;)
Marcos Matilla so uvia?
@@hayamohammad2530 more like "yee-via"
Creía que en catalán era se pronunciaba livia
Why do Spanish people have a habit of using letters in a completely different way from the rest of the world?

One of the best souvenirs of my life were driving in this road and hiking between France and Livia.
Great memories.
Did you see a stop sign getting stolen?
@@novacentorium4943 no xD
the new crossing road was already there
amcic-aberkan ok lol
When's the Brick video coming
Omg I love your sense of humor. Such an entertaining intro & video. I lost it at the water with cereal
3:53 you missed the chance to say "they should probably put a STOP to this street fight"
Cereal water and marshmallow pizza, this man needs to be stopped!
He is a monster
With a stop sign :)
Worse, he mentioned paella in a baguette!
I drove on this road a few years ago to go from a Catalan village to a French one just north of Llivia where I stayed for a few weeks. I knew the oddity of Llivia but never knew this about this road!

French: *It's my road!*
Spanish: *No, it's my road!*
Stalin: *No dear comrades, it is now OUR road!*
2:58 that could've easily led to an all out war between the two countries
Oh thank god. Finally something semi-interesting semi-educational comedic to watch
Hey, I've been to Llivia AND drove on that road! Thanks a lot, HAI, and greetings from Spain!
When he said outside I felt that......
Spain: My road
France: NO my road
War ensues
4:30 is me or did he say 'Sop' sign?
Perhaps an homage to the scene in the Simpsons where Homer painted 'Sop' and 'Yeld' signs.
It does sound like it
0:34 "I put the water before the cereal" I love these ever so slightly disorienting tidbits in HAI videos
I'm glad that HAI is finally addressing the Great French and Spanish Mustache Wars
Half As Interesting ur vids are legendary thank you for keeping me entertained during quarantine 😃 keep up the great content.
It's amazing that i'm learning a thing from where I go on holidays and my country in an other language, btw amazing video
Aren't we going to talk about the fact that he eats his cereal with water?
you dont?
Dammit, I've been using orange juice!
@@Oceanic2409 you guys are so weird. I use lime juice

Half as interesting: allow me to introduce myself.
Max Berry it’s 07:33 here for me, so timezones.
Haha time zones lol
In Western Europe it's 4:36PM lol
Reminds me of the Vennbahn. A long string-shaped piece of Belgium that juts into Germany. It's like that because of an abandoned railway. The railway line was built partly across what was then German territory by the Prussian state railways. It is now entirely in Belgium because the track bed as well as the stations were made provisional Belgian territory in 1919 under the Treaty of Versailles. This resulted in the creation of six small German exclaves (five remain to this day). It also created one small Belgian enclave.
The overpass had to have some sort of brick/structure to support it, so as far as I'm concerned, the video is about bricks. Approved.
When he didn't say 'stop this streetfight' I physically cringed
This land really is O U R L A N D.
I pour the water before the cereal. I’m dying😂😂😂
I've been to Llívia and driven on that road, but I had no idea of it's history! Very interesting :)
HAI: "you can now travel freely between countries in the Schengen Zone"....
Coronavirus: I am going to end this man's career.
no, you are allowed to travel just don't leave your home. It's only a bit difficult to get them moving.
sirBrouwer well no 😉 Here in Belgium people can go as far as they want to (by bike) (and some can also use their car, etc) as long as they’re only with their family members they live with. However, you can’t cross the border without a valid reason. (And going out to take fresh air is not one of them 😉 )
I spent the first 30 seconds laughing because he found it necessary to define roads 😂
Thanks for answering the questions i bever knew i had! As always!
I love how you slip humor into these
Countries: *has to share roads*
Me: *has to share a hallway with my sister*
Indeed, life ain’t fair
"So you remember outside? and things?"
People in quaratine: Huh
Good job explaining the joke for posterity.

Very interresting video. I knew about Llívia but not about the road issue. Also I love your jokes about Covid and US-wars.
Today I learned. Thanks for the insights.
Like the island that switches countries every 6 months

how have i never seen this video before i literally autoplay all hai videos every night to fall asleep to im not even kidding
The Frain road or the Sprance road? or maybe its the Sprain road

So... where is our brick video? That is literally all we're asking for
I’m hooked on these videos
1:12 Dude, that sounds awesome!
Spain: Why are you the part of France?
Llivia: I like baguette
dislike: the episode was not about bricks
your humor is great
“Remember outside?” Wow this really hits home
*”Did you know, the last Roman Emperor Constantine IX’s nephew, who was heir to the Roman throne, gave his title to the King of Spain, making Spain the Legitimate Successor to the Roman Empire”*
Wasn't Romulus Augustulus the last Roman emperor?
Western, maybe. But the "Byzantine" Empire called itself "Roman Empire".
Sam: Lets talk about Roads when nobody is using planes as Aviation Industry is ruined.
The first 23 seconds of this video hit home. hit home hard.
That water before the cereal joke is incredible!
Ah, my refined catalan ears hurt every time I hear a catalan word pronounced in an english speaking sentence
Now you know how I feel when you guys say Spider-Man. xD
Roads: Something that the United States has a weird obsession on.
For example: Destroying entire neighbourhoods in favour of a massive stack interchange.

Here's an example of one
I love this channel sm 😂😂
The water before the cereal was such a silly, off-the-wall joke, that you have earned a like.
You should do a topic on
"WHO OWNS THE SOUTH CHINA SEA"
Now that's more interesting than roads.
Lithira Atapathu easy, the fish... or Atlantis.
It's pronounced "YEE-vee-a". In Spanish, double L's are pronounced as "y".
Not always, like in this case
Wait nvm i read written instead of pronounced
They have to adapt this road to a movie
I love your sarcasm!
1:08 Llívia is a SPANISH 🇪🇸 town because Catalonia is part of Spain.
Suggesting otherwise is a dangerous move that might cause a bloodbath in the comments section.
Never underestimate 45 Million Spaniards currently confined to their homes with plenty of time to defend their political views 😉
Haha, a typical Spanish "freedom" of speech
Ask Llivians. In the last elections, not a single councilor was pro-Spain. All of them were pro-independence of Catalonia. Therefore, it's not really Spain, because what matters is what people feel and think of their own land. It's only dominated by force by Spain without local consent. www.naciodigital.cat/municipals2019/municipi/17094/llivia
My first time watching one of your videos and you made me laugh several times with your cheesy jokes- and for that you get a subscriber. Nice job!
