The energy Pete gave could raise the dead. The man's 40 but has the energy of a 12 year old and I live for it
Hes 40? Handsome dilf
Bro is in the wrong body fr
Earl of Lemongrab type energy when he screams
I love that his theme is Dudley's Theme from Street Fighter 4, sometimes 3
hearing petes speeches and everything just feels so goddamn good and motivating, ngl.
We all know that Chris was doing everything in his power to make Connor laugh on that 4th day. Good friend.
Pete is a fucking golden retriever in a human body. Just sheer joy and excitement burst from that man.
Who's that dog? Mr. Peanutbutter!
@@mandalore1089 knick knack paddywack, give a dog a bone
@@mandalore1089No that's Mr. Oatmeal
Who's Pete
yeah and its sad that most of the time people like that are the most depressed.
The fact this random Welsh dude I found years and years ago while looking for voice acting tips, that used to pay fiverr VAs to do uwu voices over Jojo scenes is out there as the absolute face of Twitch and raising half a million dollars on a bike is insane.
It's been a goddamn joy experiencing this content over the years. Thank you monke, thank you Chris, and of course, I'd be kidding myself without a huge THANK YOU PETE.
Keep doing.
I remember the days of him stripping to his boxers to put on some jank ass cheap cosplays, and now, one of the most well-known streamers there is. What a step up!!
Is he really the face of twitch? I don't know much about the streaming scene, but I've noticed how much Connor's channel has grown since I first found him (when trash taste started).
The only other streamer I watch is Hasanabi and he has way more viewers, so I thought Connor couldn't be the absolute face of Twitch.
Connor will only stop once he cycles ALL of Japan in a stream
Why stop at Japan, or even just the world? he will cycle TO THE MOOOOOOOOON!!!!!!!!!!
@@ALinkToReno
... And then he'll piss on it
Connor giving us the Journey across Japan sequel xD
@@ALinkToReno there was this one guy who crossed from somewhere on the european side of the continent to the chinese side on bike it took him one year its a video on yt
And not just from end to end. He must cycle down every meter of road that had ever been paved in Japan.
The editor should get a raise cause i was laughing through out the whole video 😂
Connor struggling to climb a hill… Meanwhile… Cuts to Pete dancing 💀 💀💀
…. I keep rewinding it 🤣
Man i hope he's eating good, i dont know if its a one man job or a team but this took EFFORT, 9 whole days of streams in a really enjoyable 2 hours "movie", loved everypart of the editing and the clips he chose
@@nofuccerino6025 is just one person editing the whole video
@@johnnyboiiiii9237 yeah, u can find their @ in the video description
32:15 I'm spitting my beer when the monke suddenly appears
The transition at 1:37:14 with Pete hugging Connor and Chris from Connor's POV then switching to Pete's POV was pretty slick.
Pete really embodied that charismatic and well-natured "everyone's brand new best friend" American stereotype goal that America WISHES the world saw them as. The amount of morale boosting he did on this trip can't be understated, he was so wonderful. Pete's Chris impersonation is also 11/10.
People donating and making Conner laugh after the fall is so sweet.
When did he fall?
@@OrgBrentell twice so far, somewhere around 37 min and somewhere before
@@Nixahma Thanks! I think I missed it when I watched it the first time around lol
Guys, Ianicorn (the editor of this channel - Mudan is the manager) is SO FREAKING UNDERAPPRECIATED!! Like how does he manage to edit all these massive chunks of footage in such short time windows? Surely Connor's VODs have gotta be some of the lengthiest out there..
appreciate your comment :) I'm far from the only one working on the videos here, I wouldn't be half the editor I am if it wasn't for Mudan, Danny, Luca, and all the other fellas who do the craziest videos here as well, they deserve all the praise too ❤
@@ianicorn Loved the video! Just wondering what song you used at 17:14 as it seems so familiar but I cant remember the name of it
@@aidannhogan it's National Park from Pokemon HG/SS
@@ianicorn bro are you malaysian??
@@cornieusdavid7079 yes sir i'm drinking ikat tepi nescafe ais as i'm replying this
Pete doesn't get as much credit for being one of the greatest hype men in the entirety of Japan. He really is the best.
I remember watching the marathon of the vods as soon as they were uploaded. It was the time when my grandma was hospitalized and really thought she was gonna go. I was so heavily depressed, i barely ate, sleep and i just stared at my screen watching this cyclethon and chuckled when chat was being silly, it does not sound like much but thank you Connor for doing this. Not only that this raised big awareness and helped loads of people, it also helped me during one of a hard time. Thank you chat for being the best and donating for this amazing cause!!
I hope you are doing well now! Wishing you, your grandmother, and family the best! Hang in there, we’re all proud of how strong you’ve been
Mad respect for everyone on that trip.
It cant be understated how much Pete seemed to carry everything tho. Before he joined Conner seemed to be complaining a lot (rightfully so) - but after Pete joined he picked it all up and kept everyone going. Thats crazy. GOAT.
Good job everyone and 555k is fucking crazy. Thats awesome.
You can never underestimate the power of a charismatic person.
It really helps cuz Pete is able to seemingly bring the energy to the group 24/7. It really helps keep the morale and energy high.
He’s an amazing hypeman!
he was a great jolt of energy for both groups on the event and for us viewers bc we had 3 povs all the time (the bikes, van gang and mouse)
plus the golden boy reference was 👌
You forgot the editor of this video
Man whenever Pete enters the stream it just gets like a 10x boost in energy, he's awesome
The second half of this video was just pure chaos. Pete running alongside them as they cycle and he kept on screaming for them. Man's energy is insane.
I love how nobody acknowledged Pete’s freakishly accurate impression of Chris at 1:11:10
What Connor and Chris have achieved is fucking insane, nobody can deny that they deserve the title of gigachads. Also can't help but say that Pete and the van gang are also freaking amazing. The moment Pete came on he brought the energy the group needed to push on and everytime he came on-screen I could not help but smile.
The whole team off and on camera all deserves all the credits, pats on the backs, head pats, belly rubs and scooby treats.
33:45
"Have a safe cycle"
*Completely biffs it on concrete*
The timing on that donation was impeccable.
I am so happy to see so much love for Pete, in nearly every video he is in. He was born for this, and it was very apparent even early on when he first started streaming. I remember when he was first in Chris Hokkaido video that a lot of people hated his vibe and it always pissed me off because it's apparent he isn't acting he is just high energy and a fun guy. God bless him, his grundle, and forehead. I fkn love PremierTwo
I worked with a guy like Pete when I was in the military, the kind of guy who's always up for anything for any reason and always had a smile on his face. Though it was really annoying when we were all exhausted from a 3 mile run just for him to jump on the treadmill and jog at max incline with a 50 pound rucksack and a bar over his shoulders.
@@ssfbob456 These kinds of people are like dogs, you need to bring them out for walks until they're tired and satisfied. If not, they're gonna run around the house, knock over your TV and piss on your couch.
No this is totally not personal experience with my own dog, totally just a metaphor I made up.
Pete really made this stream so unique, he picked us up when we were sad, and threw us down when we were happy.
1 Hour Class: I SLEEP
1 Hour and 40 Min Connordawg Video: LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
You should reconsider your priorities
@@SmellsVishy let the person do what they want, they have probably been told that a million times already
@@SmellsVishy do you know what a joke is?
@@SmellsVishy Maybe they just are able to sit through something they enjoy. Not be forced to learn something they find no interest in.
Huge props to the editor ianicorn for condensing 100 hours footage into a 1 and a half hour content gold
41:44 This part brought tears to my eyes. Huge props to the dono and most of all. Huge props to you and Chris for doing this challenging and brutal cyclothon
Huge props to Connor for how he handled that fall, looked nasty. But he still got back on. An inspiration to us all
Well we all know one thing for sure. This guy didn't skip leg day.
For 9 days in a row
Leg WEEK
Well he definitely did before the cyclethon. Else he wouldn't have been that sore lol.
this man's going to have the most thicccc dump truck in all of history
@@floris2872 and 2 days
Connor never fails to impress!! Congrats on the cyclothon
Agreed, & Pete is ALWAYS amazing to have on. 😂
I misread that as "Congrats on the loincloth"
"300k today and i throw pete into oncoming traffic at speed" ian is a tressure😂
Wow, so proud of Birmingham donating the last of their money to Connor before they went bankrupt.
The respect I have for Connor always keep increasing!
Also how on earth do the editors edit all that footage into this?
coffee
Respect to Chris too for also doing it. Congrats to the both of them!
@@ianicorn amazing editing, the part of pete driving by with his dudleys sound track blasting was absolutely hilarious 😂
@@ianicornnot only you have to sit through Connor's vods but also Pete's and Mouse's vods to get their pov. You're mad lad! Awesome editing!!
@@ianicorn not just coffee...its a triple espresso
The Ironmouse Defense Force may not be Pregnant but they never fail to Deliver
Well..
Dw Connor got impregnated at 44:20
Pete has enough energy to keep a small town running lol. I love it.
I dont know why but the first note of "too much volcano" being played every time Chris said volcano just broke me. So funny.
Thank you Connor, Chris, Ian, Pete, Mouse, all of van gang and the editors, the mods and of course everyone who donated. This is such an amazing charity event you are all able to crush and help so many people!
Paul!🙂
p p p p
It's a blessing from heavens when connor uploads a 1+ hour long video
I just love Pete during these events, it's just pure joy every time you hit a goal
God, this is all so damn wholesome, both cycleathons made me cry. Shout out and massive props to the entire crew, but I wanted to say something about Chris. Not every friend has the personality to be a wingman or hype man, but the friends who fully commit and stand with you in solidarity during trials and journeys are really special, and often overlooked. Chris, thanks for being such a loyal, caring friend. Without you, it wouldn't be the same. Congratulations to all of you on your amazing achievement, and thank you for working so hard to raise awareness for those usually unseen. 💜💜💜
We all need a hype man like Pete.
Why does Pete have a near infinite amount of energy at his age. I can only wish that I can have his energy when I get to be his age.
He is 40 not 90, a lot of people his age still have a lot of energy in them so you don't have anything to worry about.
He's annoying ngl
@@xdumoo Slanderous. The man is a treasure.
I'm only 19 and I don't have half the energy that man has lol
I love Pete so much. Everyone needs a friend like pete
i like this video because it feels so real to me. we may not be streamers, raising hundreds of thousands for charity, but in a way, we’re all connor. we fall, get back up, and keep cycling. we’re all going on a journey like that, and we’re all trying to help people, whether its raising money for charity, donating food, or doing shit to inspire others. there’s plenty of hills in the way you have to climb, but at the top there’s a beautiful view, and coasting back down makes the climb worth it. and the friends we have, motivating us along the way are what make that bike ride so fun and enjoyable. keep doing what you do connor, we’ll always be here to support you and your funny little monkey brain ideas.
Imagine seeing a random cyclist just screaming “AH THE VOICES” 😭
Pete is legit the best human I have ever seen.
He is majestic and fun not to mention very badass.
I know he will feel modest but I say he good boy
Not gonna lie i'm well into the second half of my 30s and sometimes that makes me feel down becuase i dont feel old, but i clearly am.
But American "Premier 2" Pete really makes me feel better about approaching 40 with his good attitude. Like maybe, everything is gonna be ok.
Nah nevermind im just gonna drink myself to death glug glug glug glug.
@@thevictoryoverhimself7298 It may be a cliched line but "You're only as old as you feel" does ring true. If you're not feeling old then embrace that feeling and enjoy it. I say this as a 39 year old who hasn't had a clue on how I should feel age-wise since my early 20's.
@@thevictoryoverhimself7298e have an outdated vision of old my dude. 30s were old people, ok. but this was when people rarely got to 70. ppl in their 30 back then were FKED. it's pretty common seing people getting to 80 or 90 rn, right? people literally work until they're 60, sometimes 70, even more, just hanging out.
we just never updated it bc healthcare and science was faster than culture this time
it usually takes a while but we did it pretty fast after WWII for a number of reasons
I feel so bad because I see so many people acting like he's the greatest person, but he just comes off as trying too hard to be funny, which comes off as disingenuous to me. I usually love genuinely goofy, fun-loving people and guys who aren't afraid to be goofballs and big kids, but there's just something about his vibe that doesn't appeal to me. I'm glad others enjoy him, but I tend to dislike any video he's in. Again, I feel bad for feeling that way, but that's just how I feel.
@@englishatheart Could it be because he plays towards sarcastic and self-deprecation humour?
Petes energy is something! Every time he hangs out with Connor it is extremely funny.
The Israel Defense Force jokes from the donations did not age well imo😂
Pete is such a legend, he never fails to motivate the gang to keep going.
The lengths Connor goes through for himself, for his friends, for the people around him and for greater causes, such as charities, or even small gestures towards their friends, be it Ironmouse or Rainhoe, Connor genuinely is the quintessential role model for practically anyone and everyone to look up to.
I've been watching Connor's content since 2018. It's amazing to see how much Connor has grown in quite literally every single imaginable way. I feel like a parent watching their child grow up and do amazing things. It's why when I see an upload, be it here or on the CDawgVA channel - I always set aside some time and watch it. All of this is genuinely inspirational and incredible.
My only regret is that I wasn't able to catch this live and donate while this event was going. But this and the charity stream he's doing are both legitimately incredible feats that more content creators should take inspiration from.
In every sense of the word, Connor is a living legend.
Connor singlehandedly funding the global medical concern.
For real though, a very huge apppreciation on every effort you and everyone have placed for the charity! You are restoring hope to humanity with just your actions and decisions alone.
I like how every time Volcano is said, the beginning of Too Much Volcano can be heard, then it gets cut off and its hilarious. Great editing
Pete is the friend and hype man we all need
this shit hype. loved the scenes where chris and connor just chill around japan and all the wholesome moments in the cyclathon
Love all the appreciation for Pete in the comments. Man is a legend
Mad respect to the whole team and the people who donated. You all are amazing people! ❤️✨
Both the Rv trip and the cyclethon sequel in the same week!!! We eating good today, boys!!
Massive respect for the editors: ianicorn, Editor Danny, Valguard kvlt, Mudan...compressing the god-knows-how-many hours of footage into a couple of hours of footage for both the vids cannot be an easy task!!
So proud of our Monke too...he keeps stepping up his game every single time...keep it up, Connor!
As a fellow Formula One enjoyer, I appreciate that Ianicorn takes every chance he gets to insert F1 references in the edits.
it was tempting but I managed to resist just playing SUPER MAX throughout the whole Dutch theme park section
@@ianicorn Lol that would've been awesome
SAME LOL
Pete is an invaluable member of the crew I am definitely part of the Pete fanclub 😂 i wish I had half of his energy 😅
Pete really went from cool side character to one of the Main Characters of the world
the funniest part was watching connors heart rate jump up from 100 to 105 during petes dance.
I just finished watching the entire video and I must say, Connor and Chris are two people I look up to the most in life. Thank you so much for everything you've done you two.
Pete is so unfailingly positive
You're an amazing and such a wholesome person Connor and shoutout to everyone who helped and joined on your cyclethon. Really outstanding job guys!
Pete is a freaking showman, he needs to be in all events of this kind, holy molly
So happy for Connor, Chris, Pete and his team for raising 555k+ for IDF, can't wait for your Charity Stream 😍
Amazing effort to the whole team! And a special shout out to the editor going through a mountain of footage. This was a true joy to watch.
someone gotta appreciate that transition on 1:37:15. Props to all the editors for this whole event!
Pete taking over on the bike was one of my favorite parts of the stream. The MGS edit was amazing.
Alternative title: “Two British guys terrorise the island of Kyushu for 9 days on their bikes”
Got me a lil teary eyed at the end there! I popped in from time to time to see how you were doing on this journey and it was incredible to see you defy the weather and all the issues along the way to finally make it. Great job everyone
So great reliving this. Congrats to everyone and also Mudan. Holy. This is so well edited.
Thank you for an incredible journey for a great cause! (personal timestamp 56:40 glad I could give the boys a small chuckle)
The editing was delightful, well done! So proud of you connor, chris, pete, team, and this whole community! I fell asleep watching these streams and this video was just as comfy to watch as those were. Well done everyone and I can't wait to see what comes next!
I love your content Connor, and look forward to watching the vods and edited videos. The fact you also are doing charity work now is just another benefit of following your channel!
Absolutely incredible guys well-done, you all should be super proud and Connor you took that fall like an absolute champ 🏆
watching the edits is so fun ngl. an hour and 46 minutes of cycling, memes and japan views. And rain ofc
Even though I wasn't there to see it live, this video and the clips floating around really showed how much of an amazing event this was. Congrats to Connor, Chris, Pete, and everybody involved!
This is one of the best videos that I've seen. You are so charitable to be doing something like this. I know I would be struggling for real.
That was such a great condensed version, well done! I enjoyed watching the live action but with the time difference I couldn't see it all. Connor and Chris are so inspiring and I'm happy to keep supporting them with lots of views. :)
Connor never fails to deliver. Lots of respect to you, and Congrats on raising so much from the cyclethons. I'm looking forward to the charity stream.
Pete dancing to 3rd Strike music gives me life. His attitude and positivity seems like hanging out with him makes you feel like you could take on the world.
Shit like this is why I subbed on here and on Twitch (even though I never really get to catch the streams).
Fucking legendary work. Makes me proud to be following the shenanigans. Much love to everyone involved. To many more amazing streams and charity events like this 🍻
Watching this live and now with video makes realize that Im so happy to be alive at the same time as Connor, Chris, Pete, Mousey and all the crew, they make my day better when I almost giving up. Thank you
the editing is so good that I literally can't sip my goddamn water without spitting it out from laughing every few seconds.
Been waiting for this edited one!!! Congrats on cyclathon and cheers to the 550k! 🎉
Thank u for combining all the streams. I tried to watch the vods and I was struggling. Can't wait for the next cycle a thon.
Loved that Cyclethon and watched all the streams - It was such fun to see Japan so up close - Hope you do it again.
Your outdoors streams are some of my absolute favorites. Congrats on raising that much money for charity!
This entire cyclethon was such a pleasure to watch and be part of, all be it just as a viewer, from Connor and chris, to ian pete and paul, everyone did such an exceptional job and I absolutely loved every second of this!
Everyone involved in this whole endeavor deserve a genuine and heartfelt thank you.
*Thank you.*
Wow. Incredible job. To go through all of that really shows dedication. Mad respect to you, Mudan, for editing all of this into a single video.
Great editing! really captures the series well! Keep it coming!
What a journey, Connor is truly, one of the kindest people in this earth, a true chad indeed
I've been a twitch watcher for years at this point and that event has to have been my favorite one period. It was such a joy to watch you guys' adventures. Can't wait to see more like it.
I am amazed by the safety of japan
I cant even go 50km out of my city without fearing for my life let alone going cross country like this
unlike the safety for bikes because my god ive never seen bike infrastructure that bad (nonexistent)
I wouldnt wanna cycle in this
This ending always melts me away. My late congratulations to you guys since I couldn't watch the streams at the time. You're amazing! All of you! Trully well done! ♥
Thank you for editing these, it can't be easy going through so much footage
We want to say thanks Chris, Connor and Ian and camera dude. Oh yes and Pete for being the great hypeman for pulling this marathon thru. Bravo. Cheers and thunderous applause of gratitude.
Kudos to you, Mr. Dawg. An excellent video of your journey. Your viewers are truly some of the most consistent at being trolls but also having generous hearts. Respect.
Also. I hope your next video consists of cycling across Honshu (Dunno if I am right or not on that one.) but I do hope you stay in shape for that one. I hope to catch a video of yours again this was an amazing watch.
Connor seems like such an awesome guy, surrounded by awesome people. It is inspiring to see everyone work so hard for such a good cause. A little good in the world goes a long way. Keep it up everybody!
Everyone was so vital for this to happen and I'm so glad that we went over the goal from the first one, it was amazing to watch!
It's almost mind-boggling imagining what could POSSIBLY top this astounding achievement! Great work Connor and everyone else who participated; can't wait to see the next charity stream 🎉
Chris patting Mouse was such a wholesome moment
