Our comical boating chapter was over, and it was time to head through giant metropoli of New York and Philly. The plan was to lay low and recover in Bougie Brooklyn, but quite the opposite happened. Another mad night out ended in a 4am street football session which could have ended very badly indeed. In Philly we made amends by doing the most Philly things possible, before heading back out into the countryside to hunt for some Amish people and try our hand at hitchhiking.

![Introducing the "No Roads Mission" ..a very urban adventure [PART 1]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/pDU9BOtX80A/mqdefault.jpg)
I have to admit that I rushed to get this this one a bit, and as a result the audio isn't great at times (although being ill didn't help) and the subtitles are a bit sloppy too. That won't happen again.
Update: These vids are bigger and more labour intensive than I thought they'd be, and because the system I had going with my editor didn't really work, it's proving difficult to get them done in the planned time. As much as I'd like to release one a week, that isn't going to happen. I also need a Christmas break. Episode #4 will be out on January the 7th, and there will probably be one more two week break between #5 and #6. I'm pretty sure there will be 7 episodes in total.
This episode was a bit different to say the least. Please let me know what you thought of it in the comments, and don't forget to leave a like for Mike!
Love the series. I am 100% okay with it taking a little bit longer. Editing is no simple task.
Whenever you upload, I will watch it. Take your time bud! Loving it so far
Dont rush it mate! I'm sure we can all wait a couple extra weeks. keep up the amazing work. love from guildford
Don’t feel the need to rush them! They are definitely worth waiting for
Quality over quantity mate
I about died " were terrible at football..... were terrible at soccer" hearing Brit having to stoop so low to disarm a situation 😆 🤣
😂😂
haha I thought that a brit would die with his pride rather than say soccer
@@BanFinCOC "The word "soccer" originated as an Oxford "-er" slang abbreviation of "association", and is credited to late nineteenth century English footballer, Charles Wreford-Brown"
Shoutout to the guy who took the shoes off as well. Would you want to fight a guy who takes his shoes off before the fight? What else will he take off during the fight? Fuck that.
lol at some point Brits are going to have to own up to their invention of the word "soccer" and for that matter all of the supposedly American spellings of words which are actually the same spellings they had used for hundreds of years prior to revising them
FINALLY! It was crazy how there were so many of us at our little Sheetz who knew the channel. I thought I would be the only one. There were two more who were NOT there to say hi as well. Tom and Greg are legends and it was great to meet them in person!
You're a legend as well Mike!
You were a top bloke mate
How utterly astonished were you when you saw Tom and Greg appear in your gas station?
Not only does Mike give the boys a lift, he's also subscribed to the Patreon. What a legend! Hope you're doing well Mike.
Mike you're an absolute legend
"I'm terrible at football," says the first person ever to dribble a football across Great Britain in under 24 hours!
🤣
Later, during a sobriety check, Tom said, "I couldn't possibly walk in a straight line!"
@@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721 not if there are Welsh farmers around, anyway
That's definitely not a gangster just by the way they acted and dressed. Just seems like an insecure dude who was looking to fight anyone who damaged his ego.
Yeah exactly. Shit happens, no big deal
One day he is going to step up to the wrong person. Ego kills
@@CecilioSprayetti Yeah this dudes gonna end up getting shot sooner or later if he keeps acting like this.
@@greenmachine5600 "Shit" seems to "happen" a lot with certain demographics of people.
@@CecilioSprayetti Statistically this is highly likely unfortunately.
I built the Kobe courts this past summer with my family’s business. I was personally in charge of painting all the court decals. Amazing to see the court being enjoyed and used to spread love and appreciation for West Philly and the Bryant’s. Also so funny to see the court on my TH-cam recommendations.
Glad y’all had a great Philly experience
It looks beautiful
When they walked up to the court, I was amazed at how gorgeous it was. Great work!
It must've been really nice for you to see the local basketball kid so keen to show off and film the murals, totally unprompted, whenever he was handed the camera!
That's incredible. I was blown away when they showed all the artwork. I'm glad one of the dudes from the court insisted on getting some shots of it. You guys did Mamba proud
Greg walking up to a very angry gangster and asking him to shake his hand before he leaves is genuinely a top 5 GeoWizard moment
He wasn’t a gangster, he was just an angry, rude, possibly drunk dude who happens to be black.
@@TuddsCrapshoot explain the blacked out windows then
@@honest_bishop5905 you can pay to have your windows tented
@@TuddsCrapshoot black SUVs with tinted windows is a such huge red flag man, had nothing to do with his skin colour
@@bruhngl A lot of people like black tint on their windows in urban communities, it doesn't mean you are a gangster. Based on my knowledge he was a fake gangster, a real gangster would have jumped out with a strap aka a Gun.
22:10 that kid saying "have a good day" made my day! What a nice chap, and a message for us all that even the tiniest bit of politeness goes a long way.
i agree we dont know whats going on with people personal lives
That’s common as hell in the south of the u.s
on everything i was looking for this comment; what good manners from such a young boy. goes to show that there are still wonderful people in this world, no matter the stigma surrounding their towns.
That made my day as well, that kid rules.
@@frjcde9392 and Philly isn't in the South so that's completely irrelevant
watching two painfully British guys challenge a group of local philly youths to basketball to then miss shots horribly is quite possibly the most cringe yet amazing thing I've ever seen

@@forsenstunlocked5967 forsen
@@poogs909 forse
they should have just played a regular game lol
@@athiefinthenight6894 I think they literally didn't even know the rules or couldn't have actually kept control of the ball even if nobody was guarding them, etc.
Him taking his shoes off was the greatest intimidation strategy ever - imagine how confused, discombobulated and frankly anxious our gangster was when the possibilities that had arisen as a result of the shoes being unequipped raced through his head.
I.. don't get it. Intimidation strategy how?
@@ogelsmogel most fear the unknown
@@ogelsmogel I can help with that a little bit. Taking off a shirt may be seen more commonly because a shirt can be a choking hazard and the wearer might want to avoid ruining it. Taking shoes off sends a similar message. Shoes might be worn more for style than comfort so wearing them could cause a movement disadvantage in a fight. Taking them off indicates the challenger plans to wear these shoes again and he will fight seriously. It's also takes longer to take off shoes than a shirt so it's also effective as a stalling tactic. The fight would no longer be spontaneous punching but more planned. Now the opponent is distracted and at that point the fight isn't even likely to happen because he's able to break out of his tunnel vision and notice other choices. Also of note, the only person egging him on in the video is someone in the car behind his car who he doesn't even know. Once he can acknowledge everyone else is trying to get him back in his car he is able to settle down.
I may be way off, but I was thinking it was for some kind of stab protection? A shield if you will to deflect a potential knife? I heard some street fighters take their jackets or shirts off and wrap them around their hand to act as a blade grabbing tool. I am probably way off.
@@leod-sigefast Probably he didn't have his laces done up
you know tom is in a stressful situation when he starts calling it soccer
8:27 "I've taken a few balls to the face before. Footballs"
Nice little save you made there :'D
That young dude dribbling and then said have a nice day is like the whole reason I love watching you guys travel lol seeing the little stuff like that is awesome
i hope his parents see that moment. good job parents.
time stamp? 😗
@@LilShrooms 21:56
@@TheExtremeLead omg that was the most wholesome thing ever that kid is amazing. thanks for the timestamp haha
Definitely made that kid's day.
That's not a gangster; that's just an average inner city resident who can only escalate situations because they have zero ability to defuse conflict
Low intelligence
Its not that he cant defuse it, he doesnt want to defuse it, theres adifference
@@leob4403 exactly, he was quite clearly actively trying to escalate the situation
Exactly. Glad he didn't frame all of philly by just that guy. Just like the Jerk from NY. One bad person doesn't represent the whole of the people.
There are plenty of normal productive members of society in any neighborhood, including the inner city, who can defuse conflicts and act just fine. Obvious example: all the local guys in the circle who were playing football together in the first place, duh. You're correct that THAT guy couldn't, but that's not normal, that's an exception. And also more likely to be the kind of guy who turns to crime due to not really fitting in at real jobs with that behavior. Could very easily be a gangster
Don't get me wrong, but it really shows just how car-centric the US is. The amount of times already you had no other way than getting driven to a place is telling.
And this is the east coast, the least car centric part of the US😂
To be fair they’re going out of their way to avoid public transportation. They could’ve easily taken a train from Boston to New London. Take the ferry over to Long Island, take that train through LI stop in Patchogue, NYC, and continue on with a train to Philly. That just wouldn’t have fit what they were trying to do for these videos.
31:43 Dudes, you got it all mixed up! Greg guessed Estonia and that spot actually WAS in southern Finland.
Lmao so glad someone else noticed this
Yup this was a weird bit. I live rather near the place and it was quite a surprise. Very confusing bit in the episode, though. Was wondering if the audio was mixed up or if they just confused the countries, so they guessed Estonia and it was Finland?
@@larsvondank Haha they were just drunk and probably not used to playing on their phone
True, I have LIVED in Askola and that image really is from Southern Finland.
Yea, I thought this is absolutely Finland, the roadsign are very clear.
Had to make a screenshot and then you can see it very clearly, you mixid it up. You had it right Tom💪
Brooklyn dude got his ego damaged and now gets exposed for the softy he is (probably drunk too). Sorry you had to experience that here in the states, Tom, but glad you guys were able to get out of that situation unscathed. Keep up the good work
Dood was a huge softy, honestly super embarrassing he'd act that way
@@magicolmos It's honestly hilarious to me that he flat out has no idea how blatantly insecure he looked infront of millions
To quote Jay-Z : You know the type loud as a motorbike but wouldn't bust a grape in a fruit fight.
the guys homie looked straight up embarrassed by him lol
Haha exactly, dude just wanted to act tough for the girls. Still could have gone badly though, major props to that guy for being ready to throw down for Tom and Greg
Ditching the Macy’s bag is true evidence of street smarts 😂
I got linked to this video because I'm in the episode of Jeopardy that you watched at the bar in Philly. ❤ I'm really enjoying your style of travelogue, engaging and inspiring! You chat with locals way more than I generally do when I travel and your experience seems richer for it.
That's awesome! I'm a Jeopardy Junkie. And a geography geek.
That's neat. It's always fun when the people in the video comment on it but I wasn't expecting someone who was in a video that was shown in the video would find their way here.
so random lol thats awesome
@@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721 Oh my god my head hurts lol
Welsh Greg the smooth charmer can de-escalate any situation. The tough guy probably regrets not shaking the legend's hand.
I'm welsh he doesn't sounds welsh lol

@@morgandunn8163 I think he's from Monmouthshire area maybe.
@@morgandunn8163 You ever travelled around Wales? Anybody north of Brecon and east of Snowdonia pretty much sounds English.
70 iq morons like that don't even understand shaking hands, some people can't process basic empathy unfortunately.
It's funny that the credits of the Fresh Prince are basically what happened with you and your football hitting that car.
How does that even correlate, that happened in nyc…
@@Fat5ive they accidentally hit someone with their ball and got into a *fight*
@@Boofbonic oh yeah since you put it that way that happens all the time…I thought he meant it as if it was in the same location.
but instead of moving from West Philly, he moved TO West Philly :D
Now this is a story all about how
My life got flipped-turned upside down
And I'd like to take a minute
Just sit right there
I'll tell you how I became the lord of a town called Aldrige
On the north side of Brooklyn born and raised
In the alley was where I spent most of my days
Chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool
And all kicking some football outside of the pub
When a couple of guys who were up to no good
Started making trouble in my neighborhood
I got in one little fight and my mate got scared
He said, "You're taking an Amtrak train to Philadelphia"
I whistled for a train and when it came near
The license plate said "SEPTA" and it had a sneeze in the mirror
If anything, I could say that this train was hella
But I thought, "Nah, forget it"
- "Yo, home to Philadelphia”
I pulled up to the court about 7 or 8
And I yelled to the ballers
"What we want to do is try a challenge"
I looked at my kingdom
I was finally at em’
Playing basketball in West Philadelphia
What a nice kid at 22:10, “have a nice day”, what a legend. All around very friendly people in this vid
22:13 when the little boy says have a good day without it being said to him. Can tell he was raised right.
I think its great Tom is so happy with everyone who recognizes him as GeoWizard is so friendly and helpfull, but Tom, thats the kind of people you attract to your channel! Cheers mate, amazing content!
Truth!
Three episodes in and already so many different flavors of American culture and ways to meet people and get to places!
Your plan was to go with the flow and meet the locals, and that's exactly what you've been doing! Thanks for this series!
That's the great thing about the Northeast. In just a few days, there's so much to see.
Greg’s “Mind if I shake your hand?” 🤣
Hahaha that one got me aswell
Lancaster PA native here. Glad the area was so welcoming to you both! Many of my friends in the area know your channel as well. Must be big here for some reason!
Unfortunately 90% of Amish folk would not have been interested in being filmed for something like this. And yes, you are correct that the Amish are primarily in Eastern Lancaster County. Though there are some touristy Amish places in a nearby town called "Intercourse" (This isn't a joke that's literally the name of the town.)
Thanks for the fun content of you visiting my neck of the woods!
Lol yeah, as soon as I saw they were travelling to the middle of the City of Lancaster, I knew they'd run into trouble finding Amish people. Big difference between Lancaster City and Lancaster County (in which the city is located).
> "Intercourse"
talk about false advertisement
When Greg was playing Geoguesser, that was 100% Finland. I've lived there for a couple of years, like literally in the place that the sign points to, Askola. It's right next to Porvoo in Southern Finland. If the app said Estonia, it was wrong. So Tom, you were spot on.
Wow legit mate.
they were drunk, click estonia and correct was south Finland
the app did say finland according to another commenter. they got the guess and the actual place mixed up.
damn. I can't believe that you lived in Estonia for years without even realizing it
You two have a superpower of being so warm and friendly and able to make friends with anyone.
Working class British charm.
Even the dude having a temper tantrum considered shaking his hand
while yes they are, in alot of post i see that ask foreigns "what surprised them most about America", a lot of them say they were shocked at how friendly and approachable most Americans were/are
@@MrAirZone25 100% - some of the warmest and friendliest people I've met during my own travels
Green shirt guy where you at??
And Nate!
Loving this mate 🙌🏼
Hi! At 31:59 where Greg plays GeoGuessr it actually is Finland and not Estonia! (Askola 4km and Pukkila 12km on the sign)
I am also a geoguessr player, i made a map named Amazing dragons, if interested check it out!
All the best!
These series are the best!
Philly Translation here for the Subtitles at 23:51
Aight, My Little bro will come.
I miss the 4:3 aspect ratio! That was just so special for the straight line series
Dudes like this get so pressed for no reason I don't get it thinking he's so tough when in reality he'll most likely mess with the wrong person and get dropped
Fun fact: The basketball shots in the Fresh Prince opening credits weren't filmed in West Philly, but at the courts at 18th and Wallace
That means nothing to many of us

"I've taken a few balls to the face before" -Tom 2022
Being from Pennsylvania and knowing Tom and Greg were only 30 minutes away from home and got to experience Southern PA, this has to be the best bit of content I've ever had the pleasure of enjoying on this channel.
I'm in VA south of Frederick, and they were like miles from my house. If I had only known!
I just found this channel. I was raised in Lancaster. Cannot believe you did not see one horse and buggy 😂
I know you probably won't read this Tom, but I'd really like to thank you for all of your videos. You genuinely made my life significantly better and even encouraged me to go on some adventures myself, my mental health is a lot better and that's partly thanks to you. Cheers from Switzerland!
I love that with two dudes ready to square up at 5 am on the streets of New York, Tom and Greg decide to diffuse the situation by being laughably British: "We are terribly sorry, gents, truly we are inoffensive and feebled. We are from the humble United Kingdom, you see, we speak the Queen's English, god save her soul, and surely did not intend to disrupt your fine evening. We'd all just like to carry on now, again, apologies for the misunderstanding. Cheeri-o good sir."
Hahahahaha so much funnier aswell because they're wasted
greg asking to shake his hand had me dying
Truth be told, you can disarm most situations in this way without being having to be British. "Shit sorry man, it was an accident, didn't mean to cause any harm, we don't have any issue with you, we were just being idiots." It gives the person an out who doesn't want to actually fight, but won't want to back down if you also meet them with aggression.
@@yaziyo Thats exactly what they did...
As an American who has been watching since the first straight line mission, these videos are like crack. Y'all's tomfoolery is an inspiration, cheers from FL
Every episode is making me more and more excited for their most rural adventure yet. How not to travel Australia
It'd be epic wouldn't it
Would be probably their last getting attacked by something venomous lol.
Awaiting "how not to travel the Vatican": like, better not traverse the St.Peter in a gaypride parade vehicle.
90% of it would be driving between major cities
It would of at least been nice to receive a community post that says why there was no upload on the 7th
There was a rendering error today while finishing the video. He no longer has an editor, too, so he has to do the work himself. Aiming for tomorrow.
@@nozzzzy What happened to his editor?
@@schnooleheletteletto No idea, I'm just getting this info on reddit from people who donate to his patreon I believe.
Lifelong Pennsylvania resident here. Seeing cheesesteaks, Sheetz, Amish country, and the Susquehanna River brought a tear to my eye. I hope you enjoyed this beautiful state!
Beautiful to see
As a native Lancastrian, I'm proud to see how many locals knew of you and represented our city well! Really glad that it seems like Mike had lots of historical info as you drove through the area - there is SO much history in Lancaster! Sad that I was out of town while you trekked through the area and didn't bump into you myself, but it's great to see that you guys had a great time traveling through our unique area. Great episode!
It's not so much that the residents represent your city well, it's more like the film makers (content whores) didn't go out their way to seek out stereotypes that fits their stereotypical view points. As they did in West Philly.
@@drewrobinson2025 haha, well not without trying to by exploiting the Amish (honestly probably a blessing in disguise that that didn’t pan out), but touché! I’d like to think that this interaction represents the general populace of Lanc, though!
It's funny, you also have a York nearby as well! Lancaster and York: probably two of the most historic cities in England with a dynastic rivalry. I am guessing the early Pennsylvanian town namers named them that for a reason and their namesakes in Pennsylvania decided to be the centre of a historic storm too.... what a coincidence!
I'd love to visit Gettysburg some day. I used to be a bit US Civil War buff.
@@leod-sigefast you are spot on! Lancaster and York in PA are known as the Red Rose and White Rose cities, respectively.
In these troubling times just remind yourself; He's just one man, its free entertainment, he'll finish the new episode soon enough.
I love how your videos focus just as much on the stories of the people you meet as your own adventures. The way you and Greg introduce us to normal people going about their lives is a sincerely beautiful thing.
The kid with the bmx was so wholesome!
Sounds weird but after I lost my dad I had bad nightmares. I play your videos on repeat when I'm sleeping, your perfect calming voice is out of this world. I also watch your videos the second they come out.
You are amazing and I wish you the best on your next adventure, take your time cause this is GOLD
Try some ASMR, I recommend Goodnight Moon's fantasy series, super relaxing and you can totally dive into a new world, purposefully made for relaxing and sleeping haha
Try some orthodox chants
Try Nyon cat (10 hour loop)
Hope you find your peace
This new series is a huge step up. Loving it more than anything. Great combination of challenge, socializing with local culture, and candid moments.
This was truly a beautiful episode and the reason why so many enjoy your channel. The good vibes, the nice interactions with strangers and the friendliness of people. Well on!
legend, been around since about 20-30k and youve consistently stayed my favorite person on this platform. big love tom
Same, I joined around 50k. Glad to see how successful everything has gone for Tom
Jup, got to know the channel when Tom wasn´t even using a cam playing GeoGuessr.
And now we are basically travelling alongside Tom and Greg through America haha.
Literally giving a man the shirt off your back. Doesn't get more American than that. Also the back half of this video gave me so much joy. I think the experience you guys had speaks to the best of the internet's possibilities. I'm sure all the people you met would have given you a nice ear in any other circumstance but the fact that you've been able to broadcast your sense of adventure and your excitement for life around the world has been able to allow you to do things you never would have believed. I love that so much. Hope this wonderful pattern keeps happening.
The reason this dude got so mad about his car is because he is completely scared and has no security. His whole life is posturing and he has no self love. The culture that he grows up in enforces that mentality.
So tru
Or it’s just “their” nature.
This series is honestly the best! Already managing to show very different sides and cultures of America! Really hope you'll be able to do more travel series like this in the future, you guys always manage to find such cool and interesting people! Would be cool with one of these series in other parts of the US(Like the west coast etc.)
The art on that basketball court is amazing!
I have never watched a channel that has me so enthralled, I had plans tonight (nothing serious) but as soon as I got the notification of this upload I knew what I was doing. Quickest hour of my life watching this immersive content. Greg only lives up the road from me but the adventures ensuing are epic, memories that will last a life time for yourself and I am sure all the people involved in this timeline.
Came across your page, thanks for visiting Philly and showing the brotherly love that tends to go unnoticed here. I really appreciate the love you guys showed. You gained a new subscriber, one again thanks for visiting and safe travels on your way to Miami….🙏👍✌️
What an incredible episode. The series only gets better
Tom, you and Greg have been pretty blessed on this trip so far, and a good portion of that is down to the hard work you've put into this channel over the past few years. I've no doubt that the natural charisma and goodwill that you two exude would have helped you along just fine, but having a successful (and recognizable in the unlikeliest of places) channel has really helped you out of a few jams. I've been a dedicated viewer since your first straight line mission across Wales about three years ago, and it's always a treat whenever you drop a new series where you (and whoever else happens to get dragged along) go on a weird new adventure full of excitement, hilarity, and sometimes danger. Keep up the good work, man.
Tom, I was worried we lost you there for a second! Glad to officially be a part of your Patreon and support your future adventures!
Such a different pace to the straight line missions, and I think this all the type of adventure we'd love to go on. Having a planned start and end but leaving the middle to figure itself out. It would be easy to say "you have to take strangers help not subscribers" but that was the hand you were dealt and I think as subscribers ourselves we'd have love to have been part of the journey and help achieve the mission set out!
Having watched the Europe series as well, it's crazy how different Europe and the US are from each other.
But still some common threads like wonderful people wherever you go. There is hope for us all yet.
Absolutely wonderful episode! Got the full experience with a near fight and the random satan guy in Philly. Quality American experience
"satan guy"?
@@HarveyBiirdmanHD 17:17 and 17:55
I’m from York, PA! I’m so invested and in love with this series! I’m so happy you guys traveled here and went through my town! I wish I could have met you guys and even helped out! Stay well!
This brought such a smile to my face as a Lancaster county resident! As soon as you listed tracking down an Amish person as a goal I knew you would be visiting my neck of the woods, and I was so happy so many people recognized you and you had an amazing time. My town (Lititz, coolest small town in America 2013) was just a 15 minute drive to the north, though I was off at university when you were filming anyway rip
This has to be the greatest series I’ve seen on TH-cam. I don’t understand why the view counts are average… we should recommend this to every1 we know
Absolutely love following all your IRL adventures.
Your GeoGuessr videos and Geo detective videos are good but this is where you really shine.
I can only imagine how insecure that man must be to get so upset over an accidental ball. They think they look gangster, but really it just reeks of insecurity and powerlessness. It's totally sad really, to wonder what they must have gone through to cause such defensiveness over a ball.
I hate how quickly people turn on TH-camrs in the comments. They don't give a crap about the wellbeing of the person making the content they just want content constantly. After years of uploads they have a slight delay and people lose their minds. Kinda annoys me. You think he's not frustrated too?
frustrated by what? he has literally the easiest job in life. get real goomba.
Meh. Thats what you get doing these kind of things. People are gonna love you, people are gonna hate you. You could be cleaning sewers all day from 7 to 5, or be a youtuber. All jobs has some shits to it. All you gotta do is keep the schedule going. There are after all people who donate and without us Tom wouldnt be able to do any of it. So I think its pretty fair. Sure some words are a bit harsh but the frustration isnt that weird.
Agree. Some strange people in the comments. It’s not that deep that it’s delayed, let him release it when it’s ready jeez
@@anton2417 thanks for proving my point
@@anton2417 its literally not. you're clueless.
This is your best series yet man, absolutely brilliant

the Europe one is better but this one is great as well
They must be hell to produce, but these videos are the highlights of my week. Very good work Tom, thank you for always putting a smile to my face!

@@DAGO58 Mate I thought so too. After being reminded of it again after your comment I shamelessly cracked up at the greg getting scared bit 😂😂
Loved this episode. Gave me very strong How Not To Travel Europe vibes. Everyone was just brilliant. Yes, even the guys who almost kicked your ass (or got their asses kicked by you).
oh... its jet lag???? from ethoslab's channel! HI!
@@Nooticus The world is small ! 😁
A couple of guys who were up to no good started making trouble in his neighborhood.
Sad to hear there will be a longer wait between future episodes, but I did not find the episode to seem rushed. Great episode (as always).
The Amish call us non-Amish Americans "The English". I wonder what they would have called you..😅
Still English lol
Still english lol
Still English lol
@@greenmachine5600 🤣 I was thinking Überenglisch.
"English" refers to the language spoken
I've missed so many uploads from you! Been binge watching nothing but GeoWizard the past 2 days. Love the adventures you go on mate!
these videos are repairing my attention span. Thanks Tom
I had my last day at work in 2022 today, what a perfect start to my Christmas vacation. Opened a beer, here we go 😍 cheers from Germany! 🍻
I love the influence of The Strokes in the soundtrack it’s very fitting for New York - keep smashing it Tom.
I like how through the course of the channel's growth since HNTTEurope, this has gone from a show about how lucky two blokes can be hitchhiking to a demonstration of how a community can come together :) I wait in anticipation for the next volume of your journey!
This might be the most random thing I’ve ever watched, weird how I was so involved in my head to see you guys have success in an ever changing random world 😊
The best part about this is how you show clips from the intro to Fresh Prince of Bel Air where his ball accidentally interrupts some street toughs and you had exactly the same experience just a couple nights previous.
I can't stop watching you since Straight Line Missions😀 But this journey is the funniest, incredible and catchy! Continue making such a wothy contect! Love You🤗
this series has been great, thanks for the work you put in!
As someone from Lancaster, I was really hoping that you would by some chance give the area a visit, and you delivered! I wish you would’ve been able to stay for longer because it really is a very cool city, but it seems like you got some great experiences and met some great people out of it. So thanks for this. It made me feel proud to be from Lancaster.
I'm from Lancaster in UK ( old Lancaster). I'm glad new Lancaster looks as friendly as old Lancaster 😄
This was a really good episode! I'm smiling from ear to ear
Absolute legends! Great to see America isn't as fkd as a lot of folk make it out to be, there are still some great people left over there!
Get well soon and we'll see yi next year
Can't wait for another episode. these journeys are so good i saviour them so i can binge watch these at once.
You guys got the pins confused at 32:00 it was the indeed Finland ! Let's say it was the beer haha cheers
His buddy having to hold him back like he was a child that couldn’t handle his emotions was all we needed to know. Hotheaded dude! Glad it didn’t escalate into anything else. But on the other hand, y’all probably shouldnt be kicking that ball that close to a busy street 😂 That just seems like a recipe for danger. Great video tho man!
You know hes insecure when he thinks everything is someone “fuckin with” him, as if he has “opps” on the street that see his car drive past and go “look its that mf Jamal, kick the ball at his car” its pretty ridiculous honestly
You are absolutely amazing, Tom. My favorite TH-camr by far. Thank you so much for sharing your adventures.
Basketball courts play such a big role in American cities, glad you guys found a good one with cool people and it's nice that you guys gave back and brought everyone there a cool memory.
Class episode guys. Can't wait to see the next one
Pure golden episode. Better than every netflix travel documentary I've seen.
Honestly Tom, you’re a genuinely funny lad and I love your channel. My face is hurting from laughing so much. Thanks for all the effort you put into making your content. 👌
Was waiting for a Philly Tom reference glad you got it in. Love your work keep it up. So inspired to do some chaotic travelling after watching you for ages now
Great to see you guys had a positive experience in the Lancaster area, even if you didn't get to meet any Amish. The rural areas east of Lancaster city are definitely more "Amish country", but they're scattered all over. Depending on the day and time, hitting one of the farmers markets in the area would've been a surefire way to check that box.
I really couldn't be more thrilled that you had such a great time in Philly! So glad that you came across so many great people (pretty much everyone you interacted with in this video is soooo Philly) and left with the exact impression of the city that makes us all love it here.
Also can't believe you almost went to my hometown of York! Wish y'all would have looked up an Amish flea market or furniture store, or too bad you weren't there on a day when the Central Market would have been open. But at least you got to experience Sheetz, that's the most southcentral PA thing you could've done. (Also hope multiple people corrected your pronunciation of Lancaster haha.)
Enjoying this series so much, can't wait for the rest of it!
I love how America has all the same named places as we do in England (York, Lancaster, Lincoln etc). It always puts a smile on my face at the connection between our two nations in that regard.
