A surprise Grey Vlog appears! A very quick trip to Las Vegas. More Outside Grey: • 🌲 Grey Goes Outside! 🌲 Special Thanks Original Music by: David Rees www.davidreesmu...
Hey +CGP Grey, I'm a pilot from Las Vegas, and I can tell you that the bend you see in the wing is completely normal and necessary! If they were to stay rigid, they would be under significantly more stress and be prone to failure in several locations. The flexibility allows for the plane to carry heavier loads, be more agile, and just maintain a greater sense of structural integrity (great when in turbulent conditions too!). Think of a bird and how their wings still curve even when just cruising. It reduces the stress on their joints. Loved the vlog and your work! Keep it up man.
And if it worries you still, go look at test footage of them testing wings on things like the A380/747-8 they can flex a HUGE amount. Not the small amount they do in flight. It's some impressive engineering.
Electra Flarefire, impressive it is! Aircraft are all really overdesigned. You're expected to be prepared for anything that may go wrong in aviation and/or aerospace, so you design your vehicles to be able to withstand the most extreme of conditions in which they are expected to operate. Really neat stuff! zecc81, thank you my friend! Tim T., Indeed. The specifics of it are explored in college statics/dynamics courses, but it has to do with the distribution of the force and the acceleration of that system (F=MA!). I'm fairly sure it can be modeled using a set of oscillating differential equations, similar to a mass-spring system with dampeners.
That sort of wing flex is actually completely normal. There’s some really cool videos of Boeing and airbus wing flex tests and they can bend way more than you would ever think even possible before they snap
its like swords, they need to bend because think about it, a more bent wing is better than hurling trough the sky without one, a bent sword is better than a hilt.
Cody'sLab I suspect the internet is full of people with strange hours, both by choice and necessity. Due to sleep and pain issues I normally do 48-hour days (since more natural, for me, 32-hour days are impossible to plan around). Everyone always tries to correct me when I tell them my days are 48-hours long!
do you mean Paradise ? also , having Clams in the Aquaponic System would be Helpful for Filtering the Water , also also , a Fountain can Add Oxygen to the Water , Benefiting both the Fish and Plants .
"No one's going to be around at 4AM in Las Vegas-" Oh Grey, do you realize *where* you were? Having lived in Las Vegas, I can safely assure you, there are plenty of people "around" regardless what time of day or night it is.
The last time I ever sae the streets of Las Vegas empty since i been here for 8 years is mid night on Christmas day complete silence. Other than that Vegas is always alive with people and things to do.
While Paris might be the city of lights and new york is the city that never sleeps las vegas is the insomniac city of flashing lights. Well technically paradise is but you get the idea
Wing bending is a normal part of take off and landing. It's kind of like how you want buildings to be slightly bendy so they absorb the force of wind and earthquakes and stuff instead of cracking under the stress. They even have these giant hanger sized machines to bend plane wings up and down repeatedly simulating take offs and landings to see how many they can do before the metal becomes fatigued and is in danger of breaking. Gotta love engineers.
For large aircraft, wings aren't always straight on the ground either. They often appear to droop slightly, which in the air allows them to flex upwards the correct amount.
So I did some research again. That wasn't a 737 it was a 787. The 747 wing broke in testing at 34 feet within inches of where the engineers predicted it would though a full foot more flex.
But in all seriousness, they bend because there's alot load on the wings from creating lift to counteract the weight. It's not too noticeable in smaller aircraft, but in the bigger airplanes like the one you flew on, it's alot more noticeable. Boom. Aerodynamics.
If you ever feel the desire to do this again, please do Grey! It's less of a straight up vlog and more of a science experiment about your sleep cycle with a relaxed vibe.
I've rarely flown far enough for jet lag to kick in. However when flying to Japan from England everything lined up so well, I spent all day and night traveling over and woke up to land around 8 or so in Japan. the 15 hour overlay in Helsinki on the way back however was something else.
Me watching post "hexagons are the bestagons" and remembering that thing about honey comb panelling. Watching the part where the wing gets real flexed and it makes me wonder if that contributed in some way to the hexagon vid.
Dox InTheSnow something tells me your purposely made that comment as short and straight to the point as that on purpose, and that you're the type of guy who kinda felt the need to write 2 paragraphs on how beautiful and interesting this video truly was.
To me, Las Vegas looks like a Minecraft server: Lots of very pretty monuments that don't fit together, squeezed together without any global coherence :D
Now days...lots of them are themed as just "big concrete shiny blocks." I miss old Las Vegas... where everything had a crazy world theme... like Arabia...or Rome...or Cowboy Saloons... or the Circus. To much "giant concrete box" now. But theres a BIG casino/resort coming up where the old Stardust used to be thats apparently gonna be SUPER China based and have Pandas. That'll be neat.
What Las Vegas is missing is a giant dome over top the entire city covered with screens that show a 360° camera feed of the outside world, that then replays itself at night-time so It still appears like daytime.
As far as ive seen pretty much all the airplanes have wings that bend. I mean... try making a steel plate 50m long that supports what... 100 tons? of weight in the middle.... I dont think any material would not bend under that kind of weight. Even a crane capable of lifting 1000tons will bend. Last time i flew from Amsterdam to Turkey for holiday something else happened tho... At take off one of the bolts holding the aluminum plates onto the wings stuck out about 1 cm. When we arived 4 hour later the bolt was gone. I was still a little kid back then and told the pilot when we got out. I could remember the look on his face and emediately knew he was not happy with that news :p. Was only one out of about 40 that held that panel into place tho.... most planes can fly with half their parts missing.
I've just had the shittiest day in the most stressed-out month of my life. But after that beautiful sunrise-in-Vegas montage, I think I might just be able to go to bed, get some actual rest, and wake up in the morning not despising my boss, co-workers, and students. I needed that, and everyone around me will have a better tomorrow. Thanks Grey.
Hey Grey, it's been over a year since this video has been uploaded. And I just want to say these kind of 'self-experiment' and experience kind of vlogs, including Summer of Grey, is something I actually really enjoyed from you. I wouldn't mind seeing these kind of videos pop up on the channel every so often too. Keep up the great work!

Oh I get the joke, but then again because I love the valley so much, I consider myself a local at heart. I'm from SC, currently saving to move to Summerlin. Will be proud to actually call it home. Damn the hecklers!
This is one of my favorite videos on his channel. Something about the plastic beauty of Las Vegas, the cinematography, and the joy Grey experiences getting away with something
Your plan made perfect sense, There is absolutely no point trying to change your sleep cycle for the sake of two days unless you absolutely have to. If you can make it work on the same sleep cycle, that is the sensible way to do it.
Been watching since 2011 and I enjoyed this so much. I felt like we got to see a side of you that you keep hidden most of the time. Make more of these (if only every once in a while).
It is amazing that he could actually work on editing a video EVEN with that amazing view outside, and on vacation too. I can't just sit and work like that.
Evan Gilbert well said! exactly my what I thought about this vlog- masterpiece. p.s. it is sleep time in my timezoon so this video had the perfect timing. thank you, cgp
wow Grey, you use SO MUCH toothpaste. I think I use about 1/3 of what I saw you put on your toothbrush. Interesting blog. Las Vegas is a city that truly runs 24h a day so it was perfect.
When you were doing your montage walk through of Las Vegas, it totally felt like I was playing Minecraft. The bobbing, the music, and the height to building ratio. Not to mention just the fact that Las Vegas looks like a Minecraft server hub. Fun vlog!
Why? Btw, I haven't touched Minecraft in 2+ yrs, I just have good memory. Can't fault the game either, it's incredibly creative and really great for teaching logic circuits.
I'm actually really suprised. This is some incredible vlog quality, i mean some of the montages could almost be from a movie. you really have talent for this stuff Grey, we want more! 😄
I really enjoyed hearing honest emotion in your voice. I already really liked you but now I care about you. This made you real to me. I want to give you a hug.
Yes, the wing is normal :) If it would bend less it could break/crack something like that. Yay for engineering :D Greetings, a TU Delft student from the Netherlands
Grey, as a Avionics Maintenance Engineer and I can assure you the structural elasticity of most modern commercial passenger jet's wings allows them to flex even as much 30 degrees and the slight camber you captured is entirely normal and no cause for concern.
Yeah, the wings are flexing because they're going from mostly hanging off the plane to the plane hanging off of them. Aren't the wings on the Dreamliner supposed to be so strong yet flexible you could apply enough force to deform them to touch their tips over the plane and they would still relax back to their normal position? I find it unlikely they made them that capable, because there are important bits inside the wings that wouldn't be happy after having the wing deformed that much (hydraulics, mechanical components for moving flaps and slats, etc...) I don't remember how high off the floor they put it, but I remember seeing a video from the 70s where they were explaining how and why air frames fatigue and they put a taunt rope across the empty pressurized cargo bay of a 747 while it was at cruising altitude and when it landed it was touching the floor in the middle.
I don't know if it was just because I'm a lowkey Grey fangirl but I found it really interesting to hear him in his differing states of consciousness/mood. Was a nice divergence from the Grey Explains voice and the Podcast voice.
Yes, the wing has to bend. It carries the weight of the entire plane and so the wingtips will be higher than the fuselage once in flight. Just like you placed the wingtips on a table and let the middle float in free space.
I did the opposite experiment. I screwed up my sleeping schedule before going to Japan so when i got there i wasn't jet lagged. I woke up at 5:30am(japan time) and wanted to sleep at around 11pm(japan time)
I built 787s for a while, that flex and bend is super common in newer planes. All the carbon fiber they use in planes now makes them very flexible. Its actually a good thing.
A Vlog, from grey? Did he do this before? (worth for the swan in the ending) Edit2: And grey if you are seeing the comments, don't worry the experiment was cool, and I appreciate your effort in it.
Being efficient is so damn satisfying. Especially when you actually manage to pull off a plan that you put together. "What if I iron my shirt while waiting for water to boil? I could save good two-five minutes, up to ten if I eat breakfast while ironing... That's 10 potential minutes to waste as I please... or sleep."
This video was honestly the best vlog on TH-cam. I know you put just as much time in to this video as your other videos and it shows. Most vlogs on this site are edited quickly. The polish of this video mixed with your comedy made for a great video to experience. I know this was a stretch for you but I hope you do more like it in the future.
This was most enjoyable. After seeing so many flashy vlogs with hyperactive vloggers witnessing something this high quality yet so calm is refreshing. You should do this again.
Aircraft designer here. The wings bending is not just normal but desired, they are just "returning" to their natural/design state as the aerodynamic lift starts to act during the take-off roll to counter the weight. In short: don't worry. And if you ask why you can see it on that plane and not others, it's because of wing span. You're flying a long-haul 777-type aircraft with a wingspan double that of your typical regional 320 and that's why the deformation of the wing becomes more noticeable.
Oh, and of course in a good way. I could enjoy this type of situational vlog from time to another. Lets be realistic CGP Grey will NEVER become a daily "vlogger" :D
As a plane enthusiast, don't even sweat it man. Its supposed to be bendy. If it wasn't bendy, the plane would snap because brittle metals don't make good planes. When its bending, that's how you know its absorbing stresses with ease, so all's good.
I was born in Vegas & lived there for 18 years, pretty much growing up there. Moved to one state, then to another, both of which I hate, and I want nothing more to go back home again. Watching your montage teared me up, but I think I needed to see it, I haven't been there in so long but when you filmed a spot I'd been in, places I'd taken pictures with my family, it really hit me in a way I didn't expect it to.
@@electrocast Oh man, thats sucks that it didnt happen yet ... I'm sure there will be a time and a place where things will get better for you and you can fulfill your dream! Best of luck, a stranger :)
I came into this video like "wtf why do we care about you doing vlogs" only to be completely captivated by the content, editing and idea presented. Genius.
Been a fan of your channel for about 3 years now and just saw this video. It really helped me remember the magic and the madness of travel and I really needed that right now.
Mellow Fellow I was gonna say the opposite, but not at all because of the quality of the vlogg, its extremely evident how much time grey puts into making his normal videos and Id rather have more grey explanations than grey vlogs
The green, plane shaped structure behind the Aer Lingus plane at 1:09, is a mock-up that is set on fire and used to train the airport fire crews, there are fire hazards specific to metal tubes people travel in, so the mock-up needs to be like, and have some features of, real planes (such as a tail mounted engine and an upper deck).
I think he just locked it with a password/pin-code/fingerprint. They can't force you to unlock your phone if it may incriminate you. Looks like he used a program to format the drive if he didn't unlock it within 2 hours though. Don't know what kind of software that is, but it would probably prevent any law-enforcement from hacking into it. 2 hours might not be enough to hack a phone? EDIT: I would be interested to learn about it as well however!
A lot of phones nowadays have a system wipe feature if you fail to get the passcode correct a certain number of times. For iPhones, it's 10 attempts. That actually was an issue with a shooting last year. The FBI wanted to get into the shooter's phone and asked Apple for a backdoor, but there isn't one. 10 tries and you're done.
I don't get the reason for both of those _Security Measures_ he's going to Las Vegas, not Mogadishu. Besides why is phone privacy that important to people; sorry if this question is too weird, as it comes from someone living in a more collective culture where personal privacies aren't that big of a deal; I mean in my mindset security officers should be able to check someone's phone if needed, what's the big deal?
Not criticising him here, but why does he need all that security when he is not exactly on Interpol's most wanted list. Not sure how interested they would be in his process of thoughts, or vlogs...
@sinancothebest @locutus Harvey A. Silverglate is an author and Harvard-educated lawyer. He estimated that the average person unknowingly commits 3 felonies while going about their business every day in the USA. He wrote a book about that subject titled "Three Felonies A Day: How the Feds Target the Innocent". To return to your questions - I think those measures are intended to protect Grey from the US Government. Since Grey seems to be an ex-pat, he may worried for that or or other reasons.
I found this answer on google: "In general, wing flex is like the suspension in a car. It costs a little bit of performance but gives a much smoother ride." - Some dude on aviation stack exchange
I love revisiting this video every so often around the 8:58 mark. Vegas/Henderson is a unique place to live and every now and then you'll be out (Strip/Fremont) when few else are and it is such a sublime experience.

Xavier Morgan Correct, sir.
Xavier Morgan the way tempered steel is stronger than hardened steel because it can bend without breaking.

Elias A plane wings basically could flex upwards higher than the plane itself (which is ridiculously amazing and incredible)

I believe the spec for a 737 is somewhere around 30 feet of movement at the tips during testing.
Tyler Greene dang.
Thats is actually cool and fun to know. Thanks
So I did some research again. That wasn't a 737 it was a 787. The 747 wing broke in testing at 34 feet within inches of where the engineers predicted it would though a full foot more flex.
1:09 "What the heck is that!?" - That's what the airport fire brigade use to practice putting out aircraft fires.
Chris Sator 747 and DC-10 had way too much fun and this is the outcome
Did you learn that from Britain’s Busiest Airport?
Yup, always used to see that "plane" on fire the days i worked in the area.
Ah.
Was about to comment this
of course the wing has to bend, how else do you intend to flap them enough to make the plane fly?
But in all seriousness, they bend because there's alot load on the wings from creating lift to counteract the weight. It's not too noticeable in smaller aircraft, but in the bigger airplanes like the one you flew on, it's alot more noticeable. Boom. Aerodynamics.

The Boeing 787 wings bend by design it helps with lift and you shouldn't worry because they are made out of really strong composite materials.
Tech Showdown it was a 747-400 he was on but your point still stands about the flex being normal
yup, during stress testing they bend them something like full 2 meters out of resting position

Canal Guy I don't think anybody who lives outside Las Vegas, or should I say Clark County, would get this.
vigilj5 or anyone who's seen CGP Grey's video about it
vigilj5
Anyone who actually lives in Vegas doesn't care because Paradise is still part of Las Vegas, Las Vegas. (not to be confused with Las Vegas, Las Vegas, Las Vegas)
Oh I get the joke, but then again because I love the valley so much, I consider myself a local at heart. I'm from SC, currently saving to move to Summerlin. Will be proud to actually call it home. Damn the hecklers!
This is one of my favorite videos on his channel. Something about the plastic beauty of Las Vegas, the cinematography, and the joy Grey experiences getting away with something
Your plan made perfect sense, There is absolutely no point trying to change your sleep cycle for the sake of two days unless you absolutely have to. If you can make it work on the same sleep cycle, that is the sensible way to do it.
#CGPGreyWristReveal
It's good to have confirmation that Grey has hands.
His hands were in the 2 personality video (You Are Two)
#WristPorn
I'm more impressed he has fingers!
They don't just end in stumps that can magically hold items!

Been watching since 2011 and I enjoyed this so much. I felt like we got to see a side of you that you keep hidden most of the time. Make more of these (if only every once in a while).
Robin Branson You can see this site of him a lot of his 2 podcasts, hello internet and cortex!
It is amazing that he could actually work on editing a video EVEN with that amazing view outside, and on vacation too. I can't just sit and work like that.
I like the solitary feel. You are traveling in an alternate reality where there is only mention of other people. A strange and unusual time zone.
Wing bending ist 100% and absolutely normal. They are made with that in mind.
Just search for: "Boeing 787 Wing Loading Test"
Plus that plane mock-up he WTFed is a part of a fire supression training facility.
I don't think I have ever watched a vlog of this length all the way through let alone enjoyed it.
Wow, that place really looks like... Paradise... *cough*, get it?
Don't
It really does look like Paradise *Hacks up lungs*. I g... *dies*
Yea, It's a bit funny.
Here is Grey's video about Las Vegas vs. Paradise: th-cam.com/video/naDCCW5TSpU/w-d-xo.html
....
Doesn't show clip of brushing teeth, No one bats an eye. Show clip of putting heaps of toothpaste on and everyone loses their minds.
Congratulations Grey, you turned a vlog about your sleeping pattern into a 15min masterpiece. I hope we get to see another vlog in the future!
Evan Gilbert well said! exactly my what I thought about this vlog- masterpiece.
p.s. it is sleep time in my timezoon so this video had the perfect timing. thank you, cgp
wow Grey, you use SO MUCH toothpaste. I think I use about 1/3 of what I saw you put on your toothbrush.
Interesting blog. Las Vegas is a city that truly runs 24h a day so it was perfect.
His toothpaste usage was ridiculous. Waaaay too much.
+
well it's a disposable tiny tube you use never so why not get extra sparkly for vegas??
thats how he keeps his neat voice
Just Some Guy -- *vlog ; )
When you were doing your montage walk through of Las Vegas, it totally felt like I was playing Minecraft. The bobbing, the music, and the height to building ratio. Not to mention just the fact that Las Vegas looks like a Minecraft server hub. Fun vlog!
definitely agree on that
Agreed, especially the music has this Minecraft touch to it.
god damn minecraft players, up yours!
Why? Btw, I haven't touched Minecraft in 2+ yrs, I just have good memory. Can't fault the game either, it's incredibly creative and really great for teaching logic circuits.
I'm actually really suprised. This is some incredible vlog quality, i mean some of the montages could almost be from a movie. you really have talent for this stuff Grey, we want more! 😄
+
I really enjoyed hearing honest emotion in your voice. I already really liked you but now I care about you. This made you real to me. I want to give you a hug.
Yes, the wing is normal :) If it would bend less it could break/crack something like that. Yay for engineering :D
Greetings, a TU Delft student from the Netherlands
Thank you a lot for future me traveling around the globe
The wing bends down on the ground and bends up in the air. Ive noticed it too
aS long as the wings remain in their elastic zone it's all good
TU Delft 🙌🙌
Grey Master Time is my new official time zone.
1. that green plane is for the airport fire brigade for training
2. yep, that wing flex is normal. Dreamliner has even more
Video not 72 hours long. Disliked.
Video not 72 hours long. Liked.
Cheif Fireball Sarcasam Undetected. Disliked
Bold And Brash Sarcasm false positive. Disliked.
I hope this is a joke
@@micahgmccloud it is lol
Grey Master Time... the best invention ever!
Grey, as a Avionics Maintenance Engineer and I can assure you the structural elasticity of most modern commercial passenger jet's wings allows them to flex even as much 30 degrees and the slight camber you captured is entirely normal and no cause for concern.
WingsOfTheTempest +
WingsOfTheTempest Translation: Iz fieeeene...
+
Yeah, the wings are flexing because they're going from mostly hanging off the plane to the plane hanging off of them.
Aren't the wings on the Dreamliner supposed to be so strong yet flexible you could apply enough force to deform them to touch their tips over the plane and they would still relax back to their normal position? I find it unlikely they made them that capable, because there are important bits inside the wings that wouldn't be happy after having the wing deformed that much (hydraulics, mechanical components for moving flaps and slats, etc...)
I don't remember how high off the floor they put it, but I remember seeing a video from the 70s where they were explaining how and why air frames fatigue and they put a taunt rope across the empty pressurized cargo bay of a 747 while it was at cruising altitude and when it landed it was touching the floor in the middle.
I don't know if it was just because I'm a lowkey Grey fangirl but I found it really interesting to hear him in his differing states of consciousness/mood. Was a nice divergence from the Grey Explains voice and the Podcast voice.
>No one's going to be around at 4 am in las vegas
Naturally, everyone knows las vegas goes to bed at 9 like a good boy
i'll never have this amount of organization in my life
we need more of these !
Yes, the wing has to bend. It carries the weight of the entire plane and so the wingtips will be higher than the fuselage once in flight. Just like you placed the wingtips on a table and let the middle float in free space.
Furthermore rigid wings would put more stress on the root which is bad, so the whole thing is made with flexible materials.
+
Not to mention that it appeared that some of that bend was purely due to perspective and the natural forward-curved shape of the wing.
+
Yes, one of the tests that planes undergo before they fly is being suspended by just the wings with the fuselage hanging
I did the opposite experiment. I screwed up my sleeping schedule before going to Japan so when i got there i wasn't jet lagged. I woke up at 5:30am(japan time) and wanted to sleep at around 11pm(japan time)
I feel this is the superior way to do it, tbh
Yeah, I live in Hong Kong (GMT+8) and am moving to New York (GMT-8) which is a 12 hour difference, so right now I wake up at 6pm and sleep at 10 am.
Grey: Sleep at weird times to be sad
Also Grey: go to sleep at 2 PM
Sleeping at weird times is fine, as long as you're consistent.
Midday naps aren't actually bad for you
[Insert Link]
cat Well guess this is much discussed bc I always knew it is.
Actually he said sleep at *irregular* times to be sad. He was going out of his way to keep a *regular* sleep pattern which would actually be better.
1:10 that's a fire training aircraft. Quite cool things
Ahhhhhh, that makes sense, I thought I'd seen one before.
Not sure I could've continued watching without figuring that out 1st.
Thanks!
+
I built 787s for a while, that flex and bend is super common in newer planes. All the carbon fiber they use in planes now makes them very flexible. Its actually a good thing.
WOW that was the first VLOG I ever watched and I was indeed intrested, I never thougt I could find a VLOG interesting.
I guess you've never watched Casey Neistat, but this was a very good vlog indeed. I wasn't expecting it to be as good
Anything that gives me more CGP Grey is good in my books
HI Podcast
check out Hello Internet and Cortex podcasts
Cheers, might look into it
A Vlog, from grey?
Did he do this before? (worth for the swan in the ending)
Edit2: And grey if you are seeing the comments, don't worry the experiment was cool, and I appreciate your effort in it.
Second channel. Never on the main.
There's a second channel?
nop
Trigger Happy that initial Montage got me excited. I never expected something like that from Grey.
What's the second channel?
I like how he even tries to optimize his vacation time.
Being efficient is so damn satisfying. Especially when you actually manage to pull off a plan that you put together.
"What if I iron my shirt while waiting for water to boil? I could save good two-five minutes, up to ten if I eat breakfast while ironing... That's 10 potential minutes to waste as I please... or sleep."
This video was honestly the best vlog on TH-cam. I know you put just as much time in to this video as your other videos and it shows. Most vlogs on this site are edited quickly. The polish of this video mixed with your comedy made for a great video to experience. I know this was a stretch for you but I hope you do more like it in the future.
its a video masterpiece. Casey neistat is crying
This was most enjoyable. After seeing so many flashy vlogs with hyperactive vloggers witnessing something this high quality yet so calm is refreshing. You should do this again.
Grey's "Montage" was killer. It reminded me of Man with a movie Camera and Koyaniqatsi.
Aircraft designer here. The wings bending is not just normal but desired, they are just "returning" to their natural/design state as the aerodynamic lift starts to act during the take-off roll to counter the weight. In short: don't worry.
And if you ask why you can see it on that plane and not others, it's because of wing span. You're flying a long-haul 777-type aircraft with a wingspan double that of your typical regional 320 and that's why the deformation of the wing becomes more noticeable.
"Vlog you may or may not be watching." But how would we not be watching it...
"in particular, if I put it up on the channel, if people will like it" How could we not like it, it's great!
I think the idea was that he was conflicted about posting it. I'm glad he decided to because I rather enjoyed it.
I disrupted my sleepcycle by 15 minutes to watch this
Benjamin Hanson oops now it's 3 hours later and your wondering if you will be able to function tomorrow
"...so I'm just standing in the sun for a while..." LOLLL
Roadfart he had to charge his batteries. Grey is a robot after all... (the hand was just a prop to fool you)
This calm state of vlogging is so much better than any kind, it’s just so relaxing.
some how he was able to vlog, with out ever showing his face. props
cough* unlike most TH-camrs cough*
christopher gonzalez Today I'll show you FACE and how beautiful all this FACE is. I hoped you enjoyed watching my FACE and I'll FACE you next time
christopher gonzalez Whats that even supposed to mean
He even made a interview behind a tree. (ok it wasn't a interview but something else like it)
christopher gonzalez To be honest give it a few hours and someone will find a very brief reflection of his face on some surface during this video.
MAH BRUTHA
To be honest... This vlog REALLY surprised me!
Oh, and of course in a good way. I could enjoy this type of situational vlog from time to another. Lets be realistic CGP Grey will NEVER become a daily "vlogger" :D
Thomas Bjerre Bojsen Agreed. I was pleasantly surprised. I hope we see more of these sorts of things
Agreed!
So,
Clue No 1, He is white.
A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
As a plane enthusiast, don't even sweat it man. Its supposed to be bendy. If it wasn't bendy, the plane would snap because brittle metals don't make good planes. When its bending, that's how you know its absorbing stresses with ease, so all's good.
But the real question is: what the **** is that green plane?
Looks like an empty steel hull where the airport fire department practices putting out fires on planes
+The 51st Division it looks like the tail of a dc 10 merged with the nose of a 747 lol
I was born in Vegas & lived there for 18 years, pretty much growing up there. Moved to one state, then to another, both of which I hate, and I want nothing more to go back home again. Watching your montage teared me up, but I think I needed to see it, I haven't been there in so long but when you filmed a spot I'd been in, places I'd taken pictures with my family, it really hit me in a way I didn't expect it to.
Hey, how are you in life? I saw your comment and wondered whether you moved back to Las Vegas or at least visited. :)
@@MNSTRs sorry but no, still stuck in hell. had no money to go back 😭
@@electrocast Oh man, thats sucks that it didnt happen yet ... I'm sure there will be a time and a place where things will get better for you and you can fulfill your dream! Best of luck, a stranger :)
@@MNSTRs thank you! 👍
The slight wobble the camera has and the audible footsteps in all the walking scenes make me feel like I'm in a CGP Grey RPG cut scene.
I had the exact same feeling.
OUR LORD AND SAVIOR HAS BLESSED US WITH ANOTHER VIDEO!! WE'RE NOT WORTHY!
I came into this video like "wtf why do we care about you doing vlogs" only to be completely captivated by the content, editing and idea presented. Genius.
I'm liking your comment based on your icon alone
“Nobody’s going to be around at 4AM in Vegas”
Lmao
*"What the heck is that?"* - a mockup plane for firefighting practice
Lol the plane butt
planus
Skip6235 wow such a genius
alexis quentin it's called an auxiliary pressure unit, but it does look like a butt XD
72 Hours in Paradise
Yup
I got that reference
Spucky 123r Because no one can tell if they are is Las Vegas or Paradise? When I was there my phone kept saying I was in Paradise...
Also, if you don't watch that video, you will think that he is joking.
Mr Hupwop Watch his video on Las Vegas
Been a fan of your channel for about 3 years now and just saw this video. It really helped me remember the magic and the madness of travel and I really needed that right now.
I love how even your vlog is a learning experience haha
Dayum that montage was stunning! Really dig your style of vlogging, you should try to do them every once in a while :D
+
+
Mellow Fellow do you mind if I borrow this idea? I want to vlog like CGP grey with his montage. Just make that a channel "simple walks in the world."
would watch ^^
Mellow Fellow I was gonna say the opposite, but not at all because of the quality of the vlogg, its extremely evident how much time grey puts into making his normal videos and Id rather have more grey explanations than grey vlogs
Am i the only thinking: GREY, THAT MUCH TOOTH-PASTE!?!?!?!?
I was like, wow he uses a lot a toothpaste. WOW he uses a LOT of toothpaste. IS HE GOING TO USE THE WHOLE TUBE OF TOOTH PASTE?!?!?!
I can only hope it was for some kind of joke, there's no way Grey naturally uses that much toothpaste.
I'm glad I wasn't the only one XD
The green, plane shaped structure behind the Aer Lingus plane at 1:09, is a mock-up that is set on fire and used to train the airport fire crews, there are fire hazards specific to metal tubes people travel in, so the mock-up needs to be like, and have some features of, real planes (such as a tail mounted engine and an upper deck).
Hey Grey, can you do a video about how to protect your phone while traveling like that?
I think he just locked it with a password/pin-code/fingerprint. They can't force you to unlock your phone if it may incriminate you.
Looks like he used a program to format the drive if he didn't unlock it within 2 hours though. Don't know what kind of software that is, but it would probably prevent any law-enforcement from hacking into it. 2 hours might not be enough to hack a phone?
EDIT: I would be interested to learn about it as well however!
A lot of phones nowadays have a system wipe feature if you fail to get the passcode correct a certain number of times. For iPhones, it's 10 attempts. That actually was an issue with a shooting last year. The FBI wanted to get into the shooter's phone and asked Apple for a backdoor, but there isn't one. 10 tries and you're done.
I don't get the reason for both of those _Security Measures_ he's going to Las Vegas, not Mogadishu. Besides why is phone privacy that important to people; sorry if this question is too weird, as it comes from someone living in a more collective culture where personal privacies aren't that big of a deal; I mean in my mindset security officers should be able to check someone's phone if needed, what's the big deal?
Not criticising him here, but why does he need all that security when he is not exactly on Interpol's most wanted list. Not sure how interested they would be in his process of thoughts, or vlogs...
@sinancothebest @locutus Harvey A. Silverglate is an author and Harvard-educated lawyer. He estimated that the average person unknowingly commits 3 felonies while going about their business every day in the USA. He wrote a book about that subject titled "Three Felonies A Day: How the Feds Target the Innocent". To return to your questions - I think those measures are intended to protect Grey from the US Government. Since Grey seems to be an ex-pat, he may worried for that or or other reasons.
I found this answer on google:
"In general, wing flex is like the suspension in a car. It costs a little bit of performance but gives a much smoother ride."
- Some dude on aviation stack exchange
I believe you mean 72 hours in paradise
Thank you
paradise is in Las Vegas Valley so 72 Hours in Las Vegas is still correct
Bruh
Oh ya
"No ones going to be around at 4AM in Las Vegas"... have you been to Vegas before? ;)
damn, that's how you vlog
13:44 totally looks like a horror game.
And the sequence from 9:00 to 9:48 felt like a terror nightmare scene.
I love revisiting this video every so often around the 8:58 mark. Vegas/Henderson is a unique place to live and every now and then you'll be out (Strip/Fremont) when few else are and it is such a sublime experience.
Alternate titles:
"my INSANE sleep schedule - They said it couldn't be done!"
"CGP Away"
"My watch in a series of hallways?"
"Hands reveal"
Mohamad Hashem he did that in literally the first video
we'll never have a face reveal
Ford Zeits He has already revealed his face. Just not on this channel.
TheInfiniteGlitch when? Where? I need to know!
Kensington Gardens!
It looks so different compared to day time when there are more people about.
We have reconfirmed the existence of Grey's hand.
Joel Dowdell it's bionic
