This actually makes me feel so much better about missing the stream. thanks for watching over all of us sleepy folks and not letting us get left behind at the various gas stations
Later when they drove past randomly placed decorative cops (like at road accidents) everyone in chat would turn into a torrent of ACAB like it was a spell we were casting
Fun fact, there are multiple canoncially trans Cybertronians including a lesbian couple Edit: I changed my comment because I've been informed IDW Arcee's backstory was retconned to her actually wanting the transition, and that despite what I've read she did actually identify as female even prior to the retcon.
“We have cops turned off, so we can do illegal stuff like this,” said Jacob as he made a completely legal maneuver of crossing a semi-dotted yellow center line from the side with the dotted segments, as one is supposed to do, before also legally crossing back into the right lane.
I mean that maneuver is legal *for the purpose of passing slower traffic*, pretty sure just driving in to the other lane for the fun of it would still nab you a ticket.
02:05:09 *I want everyone to know one of the best jokes chat had said during stream* "Signs dont have hands" "They use speech to text" "They dont have mouths either" Chat: They use sign language
@@barghest94 you don't bring guns to a knife fight, but it's always a knife fight when there's Karina. Also she's the only one who knows about the fight.
god truly does give his worst drivers (karina) his hardest challenges (regular roads) ETA: this was before the nathan disaster and jacob's wild hydroplane adventures.
Deeply excited for the Nathan and Jacob bits. Was about to fall asleep bc I’m watching this at 2am, when I suddenly very much needed to be awake bc karina is just swerving on the road rn, but knowing that Nathan and Jacob are about to get worse is so funnyagshggdjhgzxchjgss
Fun Facts: American Truck Simulator has a map scale of 1/20, so this actual drive would take about 20x longer. The game also scales the passage of time depending on location - time passes slower in cities and at gas stations, to prevent things like red lights & refueling taking up an unrealistic amount of in-game time.

Accident Count: Karina caused a three vehicle crash at 48:50. Jacob drove into a fellow trucker at 1:07:00. Karina caused government property damage at 1:59:30. Karina did not yield to the right of way and got hit at 2:01:55. Julia crossed a lane of traffic in an intersection and hit a tanker at 2:21:00. Julia backed up into a car in front of an officer of the law at 2:48:19 and simply drove away. Jacob drove into a block lane barricade at 3:07:00. Jacob backed up into a vehicle and pushed him back at 3:07:10. Nathan was inpatient, cut in, and side swiped a fellow trucker at 3:21:35 Nathan failed to merge correctly and hit another trucker at 3:21:40. Nathan had to be somewhere and hit a Mustang at 3:25:25. Nathan has the need for speed and hit a highway concrete barrier at 3:26:00. Nathan can't drive straight and hit the toll booth at 3:27:20. Nathan ruins the paint job at 3:27:30. The TransRig couldn't take it anymore at 3:30:00. Julia is distracted while merging and hits a truck at 3:39:50. Jacob hydroplaned and became the worst driver at 3:50:57. Jacob drives into a semi in plain sight at 3:55:30. Karina carelessly drives into a pole at 4:21:40. Karina defeats all stereotypes by driving back into the pole at 4:21:55.
Not Nathan at 4:30:28 dropping the amazing quote “Being joyful in the face of the forces that want you to feel despair is an act of defiance.” And then Jacob IMMEDIATELY turning to see the beautiful hazard cone man was a delight. Trans rights, happy Pride, and for all the queer and minority Drawfee fans out there things are dark but Jacob was right: the anger and hate you’re facing now is a response to how far things have come. We’re not done yet, but we’re also not alone. I love you all.
This stream was INCREDIBLE The Drawfee drivers in the end: Nathan was the WORST driver. Jacob, surprisingly, the second worst driver. Karina, even more surprising, the second best driver. Julia, cursed queen of the night, the best driver.
@@MsTinaBinaBallerina honestly same lol. Though to be fair for Karina, she never hydroplaned the rig that it caused them to crash and get stuck, injured almost 4k people, made it worse by getting it even more stuck, then had to get towed- all in one minute lmao
16:00 Jacob screaming "Zipper, Zipper!" made me lose it...that's what I yell whenever traffic occurs where I'm driving and people don't know how to merge properly.
As a resident of Oregon, I'll just say the AI is based of us. We have some of the worst drivers I've ever encountered. The person that cut Nathan off to merge between 2 other semis is absolutely something I've seen real people do. I had top surgery on the 9th so I can't afford the trans rigs keychain but if it ever comes back I WILL buy it
Note: I will provide links at the bottom for further reading. I've seen a bunch of comments from foreigners confused about American vitriol toward the police. I thought I'd explain a little. First, it's very polarized (like most of our socio-political stuff) between near religious worship and absolute vitriol. However, I'm gonna talk about why we don't care for them. Essentially, in general, our police are extremely heavily militarized, and therefore enact excessive violence against the population regularly. Especially marginalized groups - even more so Black people. When it comes to the LGBTQ+ community specifically, the cops would actively attack and incarcerate us for existing. Stonewall was a riot against the police for doing exactly that. Moreover, our police force came out of slave catching patrols dedicated to capturing Black enslaved people (or even previously enslaved people) and forcibly bringing them back to their predominately White slavers. During pride month, I think it is super important to know our history, and police brutality - particularly against Black and brown transfeminine people - is deeply seeded in our history.

Also don't forget that two of the LGBTQ+ leaders that came out of the stonewall riots were Marsha p. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera. Both proud trans women of color. Both sex workers who faced abuse and exploitation. Both amazing kind people who started Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries (STAR) a mutual aid project of trans sex workers and homeless queer youth
as a european I'd like to add that it's not only the US, american cops reach a level of unhinged rotten behaviour that is absolutely off the charts, but cops and policing in general are shitty in every country, because policing in itself is a rotten concept. Recently in Italy we are experiencing a big increase in police brutality, greek police is absolutely cruel (expecially to immigrants and queer people), and the same goes for france, and these are the only countries I'm a bit more educated about. Police as an institution does not protect anyone anywhere, all it does is repress the population, expecially poor people and marginalized people af any kind, and does so with unchecked violence and cruelty that never have a consequence for them.
Can confirm that it's the same in the UK, anyone who says it's just the US and it's not like that over here just isn't paying attention, Trans rights, acab and remember that you are never alone 💜💜💜
"Being joyful in the face of the forces that want you to feel despair is an act of defiance" Thank you Nathan, and all of you. I feel like that's the motto for this stream and this community!
At the 2 hour mark, watching them penguin waddle dance in a circle filled me with such a profound sense of happiness. Like.. they're such good friends and so full of joy, behaving so silly. It really made me emotional 😢
I cannot explain the instinctual sense of tiredness that washed over me pulling into that gas station at night, as if I had truly been in a car all day and could finally stretch my legs
As a member of the trans community myself, it was a BUMMER not being able to make the livestream. So excited to see it up so early. Thanks drawfee and community for raising money for a good cause, TRANS RIGS BAYBEE
I live in Montana, but have been to and through Idaho a lot, and here's some more cool things about Idaho: Hells Canyon where the Snake River runs along the Oregon border cuts through immensely deep lava flows, and is deeper than the Grand Canyon. Craters of the Moon National Monument features large swaths of lava flows, some as young as 2,100 years ago. It's amazing and also has camping and very, VERY dark skies. The volcanic hot spot beneath Yellowstone previously blasted apart and then filled southern Idaho's immense valley with lava, millions of years ago. The valley is so porous as a result that it doesn't have normal rivers; the water just seeps into the ground, into an enormous underground aquifier. On those plains is the Idaho National Laboratory, the grounds of which take up more than half the area of the entire state of Rhode Island. It was an instrumental place for early nuclear reactor research, being the site of more than 50 nuclear reactors over the years. You can visit the historic Experimental Breeder Reactor 1 (EBR-1), which was the first reactor to power a town (mostly as a demonstration, but still), and has since been decommissioned and opened for public browsing/tours. Well worth a visit. Also, despite being 61% federal lands, due to its large size, low population, and large swaths of extremely rugged terrain, Idaho still has more non-federal land per person than 40 of the 50 states; about twice as much as Texas or Alabama, for example.
I watched the entire stream live and while I was sadly not able to contribute (absolutely THRILLED about the 100k + raised!) I would like to make a small comment. Throughout the entirety of the stream the Drawfee crew said to chat and donators "We're just driving a truck! Y'ALL are the ones making a difference!" While the humility is admirable, I'd like to point out that's not entirely accurate. For years, Nathan, Jacob, Karina, and Julia have been making consistent effort to foster a loving, kind, and accepting community. This was not done overnight and it was not done by magic. It was done by people who truly care and genuinely try to spread love, joy, and acceptance wherever they go. And this was heard and seen by us. You accepted us, and continued to be the people we hit "Subscribe" for. So when this opportunity arose, you took the challenge, coordinated an effort and heralded an action call to your community to continue support each other and create change. Drawfee used their platform, as kind and compassionate people, and made a significant impact on this Earth. So please never forget what you all mean to this community, and the difference you make in all our individual lives and the lives of the people on this planet. Thank you 💜
thanks yall, to be honest ive been struggling with a lot of transphobia irl and just seeing how many people care and are like me and want to donate and help ppl like me it just means the world to me. drawfee making me feel better as usual lol
keep on trucking, friend. i’m just a stranger, but know that although some transphobes may have power right now, times are changing and the majority of people love and support you
I know im a total stranger on the internet, but i truly wish you all the best, and hope you know that there are people out there, myself included, who love and support you and are so glad you are here. Keep on truckin, see ya on the road ❤
The best part of Jacob saying "people are crazy in this game" is this is EXACTLY how people drive in real life aswell... Especially the "Gets in your lane and immediately slows down" got to me
As a gay man, it was incredible to really see the community show up for each other like this. I couldn't believe how much money we raised! This was a much needed boost in my faith in humanity! Love ya'll, and Trans Rigs Baby!!!!!
This is going to be a huge comment timestamp list I am making for myself 10:10 GET OFF THE ROAD 13:15 Nathan cardinal beef 13:51 Desert Bus 14:30 Karina shaming the pathetic honk 14:54 Julia's fun 'Washington' fact 15:43 I don't have a math degree I'm an artist 16:10 Drawfee finds out what traffic is 16:44 We made you Spaggeti (I’m back a year later) 17:00 Humble Rob 17:35 Julia trying to sneak in a Twilight reference 18:40 Bella can afford her dress now 19:47 Jacob driving flub (we almost missed our exit) 20:17 ambient sirens 20:43 Julia just being sweet 21:19 Almost had a car crash
y'know, kinda seems like Julia might have a lil crush on Jacob?? 100k in under 5 hours?! honestly, Drawfee is continuously outdoing themselves, and I really do think you guys have cultivated probably _the_ best internet community, I've rarely (if ever) had or seen people having bad interactions, everyone always seems so supportive and friendly, and it is such a cozy, comfy space to get lost in!
I'm honestly blown away that these goobers managed to pull in tens of thousands of dollars for a genuinely decent charity by being welcoming and positive and fun. Humanity has good things going for it, despite everything.
1:23:06 "n for loud car horn?" was me!!! I kept seeing people in chat trying to tell them but Drawgang didn't notice, so I thought maybe they'd be more likely to see it in the donation feed. Right as I sent it Julia went on her very meaningful monologue and I was sure my donation would be lost to the endlessly updating scroll, but when she read it and it WORKED I genuinely LEPT off the couch! I almost never watch live, but I'll absolutely treasure the pure joy from being one of thousands crammed in the middle seat of a Trans Rig 🥰 Thank you for this gem of hope!
As A Trans, I just want to wholeheartedly thank the Drawfee crew. It means so much to see support for the trans community, especially with the state of things right now. I’m in a safer state and it’s still so scary to exist right now. Drawfee has been a safe space for me for such a long time and I just love and appreciate you guys and this whole community so much. Hope everyone is doing well and if you’re not I hope you make it through ❤❤❤
Hah, so I was actually in the same dorm with Jacob and grew up to be a trans lady. Don't particularly keep in touch, but what a nice surprise to stumble back on his work this way :P
I watched this live, all 4 and 3/4 hours, and I was in tears near the end. Thank you to everyone who donated, even if you feel the amount was insignifigant or "nothing much" it all added up in the end to something incredible. Thanks to drawfee for using their platform to spread the message of love and support and provide a space that people can come together and spread the truth that no one is alone in all of this. The people trying to erase us want you to feel overwhelmed, they want you to feel hopeless, but we are a fact of life and we won't be erased. Buddy up, partners.
Sometimes I think about how some TH-camrs have that one charity stream they do every so often, but Drawfee does at least one, per year, in June, and thousands, literally thousands of people show up to it. And it feels so powerful to be a part of the biggest streaming audience that day on my feed where somehow thousands of people agree to be kind and buy into a group road-trip, or a rotating batch of guests. Every year I look forward to this stream. Every year I’m reminded that we’re not alone. I at least have one group of content creators that repeatedly step up for this issue, where I never question if they’d accept me. They’ve done it every time and I think it’s beautiful.
39:54 Julia in the back mumbling “I miss my wife, tails” and everyone else immediately after starts singing “I really really really really really like you!” WAS SO UNEXPECTED AND SO PERFECTLY HILARIOUS LMAO
Absolutely adored this stream. Having one of you constantly having to stare blankly ahead and concentrate on the road is a new kind of funny I did not expect. Trans rigs forever.
Listening to this silly banter while the team drives a rig while I'm driving down to the Mexican border myself at the moment in my rig. Meta From a fellow trucker. Yeeee haww drawfee team. Keep being the amazing community that y'all are. I've only made it an hour in. Now I'm going to sleep. But the amount of money already raised is insane. I'm sad I won't be able to order the Keychain before the month is out. Would be perfect for my truck keys.
I always love the wordless and unanimous agreement between the group that Julia is the best and most qualified at whatever they're doing, so being second best is pretty good
I am so proud of the Drawfee community. I’m pretty sure every charity stream Drawfee has done has surpassed the goal with just unbelievable speed. I’m so honored to be part of a community that cares about these issues and contributes to causes whenever they can. (Also shoutout to people like me who are struggling/unemployed/low on funds who can’t yet afford to donate. I swear as soon as I get a full-time-job again I’m gonna be contributing as much as I possibly can)
I caught this stream live but unfortunately fell asleep after Washington because it was like 2AM 😭 so basically I'm that part of chat who got concussed, died, got resurrected, still managed to sleep through it all 😂
As someone who's been a fan of drawfee since before starting to medically transition this means to much. Thank you for all the support from all of ya'll and the community. It genuinely means so much. Ya'll have helped the queer community so much the last few years this money is gonna help so many people. Three places in june. I'm still blown away by the campout donations. Thank you
It means so much to know that someone you watch is a safe haven. Like... A place where you don't need to be wary about something coming from left field. So... Yeah. I'm glad they're doing something like this. Not only as a public signal to show where they stand, but also by getting so many people together to give to a good cause.
whenever i'm having a hard time or i'm having trouble picking what to play when falling asleep, i come back to this vod. the vibes are exactly the pick me up i need to remember the good parts of humanity, and also to fall asleep to without getting stuck in mindsoup of anxiety. thanks drawfee 💖
I couldn’t make my city’s pride this year bc of chronic illness and I felt so awful but this stream was on and it made me feel so much better! Ty folks
This roleplay scenario that the crew and the chat maintained tirelessly for nearly five hours, buoyed by the chill music, creates a cozy and extremely surreal experience that I deeply enjoy
the "you can bypass the waystation" ongoing joke is very similar to an ongoing joke in my family where my parents point out one particular car dealership to one of my sisters every time we pass it (to the point of going out of our way to call her when she's not in the car to tell her we are passing it). That car dealership sold us the minivan my mom drove *three* cars ago. We still do it.
this was such a blast to watch live! seeing the donation meter climb into the stratosphere was magnificent. Trans rigs from here to Mexico, up and down the block, honk 'em if you got 'em 🧡🏳🌈🏳⚧
re. Julia's dad doing a really American accent when he's French, just like my dad, aggressively doing the broadest Aussie accent to mess with family when we're Scottish expats. Dads is the same lol
As someone from Mexico that travels a lot by car the "Another toll??!!?" is a irl experience and I laughed every time they had to pay a toll on the game
That star that disappears at 2:25:08 is El Paso, TX (my hometown)! Howdy from El Paso! The star is on the mountain here in El Paso, and is the symbol for "home" to all who live here. I think the game glitched and they saw it through the mountain since the star is on the south side of the mountain, and they were arriving from the northeast down US 54, through the NW side of town (hence the random disappearance as the mountain loaded in in front of the star as they got closer).
To anyone who didn't make the stream, you actually did, you were just sleeping in the back. All the buddy groups kept y'all safe
You may have died but we had a necromancer so no worries
aww
This actually makes me feel so much better about missing the stream. thanks for watching over all of us sleepy folks and not letting us get left behind at the various gas stations
Thanks, this cheered me up
Oh good! Thank you, friends.
"We turned off cops" Glad to see them taking "no cops at Pride" seriously

I was wondering about this! I recently did a (5 day) cross-country road trip and, damn, are places far from each other irl.
I mean what's even the point of the game if it's not a realistic simulation of the trucking experience, smfh
I literally moved from Texas to Washington to feel safe as a trans person. This is a weird reversal.
Nathan continuously trying to start up fun car games and no one playing along for more than one round made me feel like I was really there!

@@ItssMelissa my sentiments exactly
I think that hydroplaning is a pretty reasonable way to get in an accident, Nathan and Karina’s overall driving was more unstable I’d say lol
"We turned off cops... we can do illegal things like this: "

...alright, buddy. **slow clap**

Recently in Italy we are experiencing a big increase in police brutality, greek police is absolutely cruel (expecially to immigrants and queer people), and the same goes for france, and these are the only countries I'm a bit more educated about. Police as an institution does not protect anyone anywhere, all it does is repress the population, expecially poor people and marginalized people af any kind, and does so with unchecked violence and cruelty that never have a consequence for them.
Thank you for taking the time to leave such an informative comment, I think you explained it so well!
Can confirm that it's the same in the UK, anyone who says it's just the US and it's not like that over here just isn't paying attention,
Trans rights, acab and remember that you are never alone 💜💜💜
Hi folks! If you're watching this VOD after Pride Month is over, please know that you are still loved and deserve happiness!

"Being joyful in the face of the forces that want you to feel despair is an act of defiance"
Thank you Nathan, and all of you. I feel like that's the motto for this stream and this community!
At the 2 hour mark, watching them penguin waddle dance in a circle filled me with such a profound sense of happiness.
Like.. they're such good friends and so full of joy, behaving so silly.
It really made me emotional 😢
me too, it was so precious🥰
me too!! that was such a wonderful moment :")
2:10:12
Damn buddy, im starting to see you in a lot of videos!
YEEEESSS, it made me so happy, and I hope I see that clip on many compilations
Being enraged and stuck behind drivers going 5 under the speed limit in rural Washington is the hyper-specific simulationism I am here for.
It was so real, I felt like I was sitting with my dad in the car all over again XD.
It was absolutely hilarious how Julia was just gate kept from the sun and was IMMEDIATELY cursed for driving under the sunlight that one time
Shout out to the car at 2:56:00 who nearly died trying to overtake Jacob!!
LMAO
Holy hell, I missed that completely. Thanks for the shout-out
Gyatt
I cannot explain the instinctual sense of tiredness that washed over me pulling into that gas station at night, as if I had truly been in a car all day and could finally stretch my legs
I stretched like a cat and took a deep breath as if I was truly outside after long hours on the road
I like that Karina drives like people do in movies where they are constantly moving the steering wheel
As a member of the trans community myself, it was a BUMMER not being able to make the livestream. So excited to see it up so early. Thanks drawfee and community for raising money for a good cause, TRANS RIGS BAYBEE
47:46 the 3 minutes of silence from Julia as she desperately tries to find interesting facts about idaho
As an Idahoan, that's fairly accurate 😅 The percentage of public lands IS one of my favorite facts, though.
I live in Montana, but have been to and through Idaho a lot, and here's some more cool things about Idaho:
Hells Canyon where the Snake River runs along the Oregon border cuts through immensely deep lava flows, and is deeper than the Grand Canyon.
Craters of the Moon National Monument features large swaths of lava flows, some as young as 2,100 years ago. It's amazing and also has camping and very, VERY dark skies.
The volcanic hot spot beneath Yellowstone previously blasted apart and then filled southern Idaho's immense valley with lava, millions of years ago. The valley is so porous as a result that it doesn't have normal rivers; the water just seeps into the ground, into an enormous underground aquifier.
On those plains is the Idaho National Laboratory, the grounds of which take up more than half the area of the entire state of Rhode Island. It was an instrumental place for early nuclear reactor research, being the site of more than 50 nuclear reactors over the years. You can visit the historic Experimental Breeder Reactor 1 (EBR-1), which was the first reactor to power a town (mostly as a demonstration, but still), and has since been decommissioned and opened for public browsing/tours. Well worth a visit.
Also, despite being 61% federal lands, due to its large size, low population, and large swaths of extremely rugged terrain, Idaho still has more non-federal land per person than 40 of the 50 states; about twice as much as Texas or Alabama, for example.
@@sarahsant6248 there truly is nothing interesting here 😔
North Idaho is where it's at.
The deafening silence every time they entered a tunnel and everyone held their breath (me included) just makes me cackle
1:23:58 "Half of the uh... escalators were downers." GOOD JOKE NATHAN!!!❤ 1:24:54
I’m so proud of Nathan’s comedic journey
I watched the entire stream live and while I was sadly not able to contribute (absolutely THRILLED about the 100k + raised!) I would like to make a small comment. Throughout the entirety of the stream the Drawfee crew said to chat and donators "We're just driving a truck! Y'ALL are the ones making a difference!" While the humility is admirable, I'd like to point out that's not entirely accurate. For years, Nathan, Jacob, Karina, and Julia have been making consistent effort to foster a loving, kind, and accepting community. This was not done overnight and it was not done by magic. It was done by people who truly care and genuinely try to spread love, joy, and acceptance wherever they go. And this was heard and seen by us. You accepted us, and continued to be the people we hit "Subscribe" for. So when this opportunity arose, you took the challenge, coordinated an effort and heralded an action call to your community to continue support each other and create change. Drawfee used their platform, as kind and compassionate people, and made a significant impact on this Earth. So please never forget what you all mean to this community, and the difference you make in all our individual lives and the lives of the people on this planet. Thank you 💜
I love going through the comments on this video bc it shows how caring and accepting the Drawfee community is :)
Just- Just -
Jacob: Oh be careful Nathan, road work ahead.
Karina: uh- yeah, i sure hope it does *vine*
*lil fist bumb*
has me ROLLING
41:18 for reference
Chat was all doing it before she even said as well
Drew Gooden (the creator of that vine) is a TH-camr now! I bet Drawfee fans would also enjoy his channel.
@@eiaboca1wait drew gooden made that vine??
thanks yall, to be honest ive been struggling with a lot of transphobia irl and just seeing how many people care and are like me and want to donate and help ppl like me it just means the world to me. drawfee making me feel better as usual lol
keep on trucking, friend. i’m just a stranger, but know that although some transphobes may have power right now, times are changing and the majority of people love and support you
happy pride
I hope you can always remember there are people who will love and accept you ❤️ keep trucking, trucker
keep truckin stranger!! honk honk we love you
I know im a total stranger on the internet, but i truly wish you all the best, and hope you know that there are people out there, myself included, who love and support you and are so glad you are here. Keep on truckin, see ya on the road ❤
It’s been a tough year to be trans and this stream truly meant truckloads 🖤
Nobody was ready for who would crash the rig

I'm not there yet but based on this comment I'm guessing.... a producer
Edit: WOW. WOW. I KNEW TO EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED, BUT
@@acisme6442 funny you should say that considering the most recent sss stream
@genericflour my god. They can't keep getting away with this
I love the juxtaposition of Julia's wholesomeness and Jacob's sudden outburst of road rage at 9:54.
The best part of Jacob saying "people are crazy in this game" is this is EXACTLY how people drive in real life aswell... Especially the "Gets in your lane and immediately slows down" got to me
As a gay man, it was incredible to really see the community show up for each other like this. I couldn't believe how much money we raised! This was a much needed boost in my faith in humanity! Love ya'll, and Trans Rigs Baby!!!!!
This really lived up to the hype! Next year y'all gotta do one called "trans flights" where you do a trip in Microsoft Flight Simulator lmao
YES PLEASE OMG

My goodness. That's not even 20 minutes.
The commitment of the comment 😮
Nice 😎
As someone who lives in a state that has the cardinal as its state bird, I FELT Nathan's Cardinal Comment
I believed in you 😔
When they mentioned turning off the police, my sibling and I said, in unison, "No cops at pride."
As someone with loads of irl highway driving experience, them constantly yelling "what the fuck are you doing" at other drivers is very relatable
y'know, kinda seems like Julia might have a lil crush on Jacob??
100k in under 5 hours?! honestly, Drawfee is continuously outdoing themselves, and I really do think you guys have cultivated probably _the_ best internet community, I've rarely (if ever) had or seen people having bad interactions, everyone always seems so supportive and friendly, and it is such a cozy, comfy space to get lost in!
I'm honestly blown away that these goobers managed to pull in tens of thousands of dollars for a genuinely decent charity by being welcoming and positive and fun. Humanity has good things going for it, despite everything.
1:23:06 "n for loud car horn?" was me!!! I kept seeing people in chat trying to tell them but Drawgang didn't notice, so I thought maybe they'd be more likely to see it in the donation feed. Right as I sent it Julia went on her very meaningful monologue and I was sure my donation would be lost to the endlessly updating scroll, but when she read it and it WORKED I genuinely LEPT off the couch!
I almost never watch live, but I'll absolutely treasure the pure joy from being one of thousands crammed in the middle seat of a Trans Rig 🥰 Thank you for this gem of hope!
You rule!!
Julia has such a mom cadence when sharing trivia. (Positive)
new top surgery just dropped: lost my tits in the trans rigs accident
I have no words to accurately describe how deadened inside I feel having 'Washington facts' just Twilight factoids 😭
same it reminds me of the fact that washington is mostly known for twilight, coffee & fifty shades of gray 😔
@@pissclowngod you guys got 2 incredibly bad franchises, I'm so sorry
@@StonedtotheBones13 fifty shades is literally just Twilight fanfic so it's really more like one and a half
@@galaxycat9966 hmm I see your point. I feel like 50 shades made its own terrible impression tho.
The fact that everyone gets so realistically annoyed at the bad drivers in the game, as if they were actually on the road, is subtle comedy gold.
As A Trans, I just want to wholeheartedly thank the Drawfee crew. It means so much to see support for the trans community, especially with the state of things right now. I’m in a safer state and it’s still so scary to exist right now. Drawfee has been a safe space for me for such a long time and I just love and appreciate you guys and this whole community so much. Hope everyone is doing well and if you’re not I hope you make it through ❤❤❤
You think the original TransRig on that GarticPhone episode is still with us? Watching from some magical place?
I was really hoping someone else remembered the one person truly responsible for the TransRig concept. 😂😂😂
They replied on an earlier stream!
@@erikaiverson4122oh awesome!!!
Oh i didn't know of that, do you remember the video title?
Like a real road trip, I dozed off and startled awake to someone hitting a sign.
STOP
I like to imagine the reason Tussle went on this journey was to sell this rig to raise money for his grandchild's gender affirming treatment
hell yeah!!😆
he did a custom trans ring paint job for some very rich trans person in mexico, it’s trans all the way down
We can't rule out that Tussle himself is a trans man...
Hah, so I was actually in the same dorm with Jacob and grew up to be a trans lady. Don't particularly keep in touch, but what a nice surprise to stumble back on his work this way :P
3:17:33 Nathan starts his third leg
3:23:03 Karina checks chat for concussion
3:28:46 Julia starts her third leg
3:30:02 Engine malfunction
Karina’s ominous “enjoy Mexico” at the end was perfect
Props to Julia to keeping up her masquerade well. Despite having only night driving segments, she resisted making a Rig Full Of Vampires joke 🤣🤣🤣🤣
41:22
“Uh, yeah, I sure hope it does!” followed by a look of “hell yeah” and a fist bump is so Drawfee.
I love this place
WARNING ⚠️ this stream is NOT free of Cats (2019) ⚠️
Great stream, great charity, great cause!!!!! Trans Rigs!! Much love.
There are so many comments that could be pinned for importance. None may be more important than yours ^_^
I watched this live, all 4 and 3/4 hours, and I was in tears near the end. Thank you to everyone who donated, even if you feel the amount was insignifigant or "nothing much" it all added up in the end to something incredible. Thanks to drawfee for using their platform to spread the message of love and support and provide a space that people can come together and spread the truth that no one is alone in all of this. The people trying to erase us want you to feel overwhelmed, they want you to feel hopeless, but we are a fact of life and we won't be erased. Buddy up, partners.
Because of how round Nathan is always drawn, I always forget he's so skinny
"Do we have to use the blinker" is the most Texas question I've ever heard
Sometimes I think about how some TH-camrs have that one charity stream they do every so often, but Drawfee does at least one, per year, in June, and thousands, literally thousands of people show up to it. And it feels so powerful to be a part of the biggest streaming audience that day on my feed where somehow thousands of people agree to be kind and buy into a group road-trip, or a rotating batch of guests.
Every year I look forward to this stream. Every year I’m reminded that we’re not alone. I at least have one group of content creators that repeatedly step up for this issue, where I never question if they’d accept me. They’ve done it every time and I think it’s beautiful.
39:54
Julia in the back mumbling “I miss my wife, tails” and everyone else immediately after starts singing “I really really really really really like you!”
WAS SO UNEXPECTED AND SO PERFECTLY HILARIOUS LMAO
Absolutely adored this stream. Having one of you constantly having to stare blankly ahead and concentrate on the road is a new kind of funny I did not expect. Trans rigs forever.
Listening to this silly banter while the team drives a rig while I'm driving down to the Mexican border myself at the moment in my rig. Meta
From a fellow trucker. Yeeee haww drawfee team. Keep being the amazing community that y'all are. I've only made it an hour in. Now I'm going to sleep. But the amount of money already raised is insane. I'm sad I won't be able to order the Keychain before the month is out. Would be perfect for my truck keys.
And thank you for being part of the community! I hope you have a safe trip and enjoy the rest of the stream
I always love the wordless and unanimous agreement between the group that Julia is the best and most qualified at whatever they're doing, so being second best is pretty good
I am so proud of the Drawfee community. I’m pretty sure every charity stream Drawfee has done has surpassed the goal with just unbelievable speed. I’m so honored to be part of a community that cares about these issues and contributes to causes whenever they can.
(Also shoutout to people like me who are struggling/unemployed/low on funds who can’t yet afford to donate. I swear as soon as I get a full-time-job again I’m gonna be contributing as much as I possibly can)
HELL YEAH TRANS RIGS BABY! I couldn’t make the stream live because I was at my local Pride festival, but thank you so much everyone for donating!
I was also at my local Pride fest!
32:07 That's ME!! It's just me hyped by julias' hyped voice XD I really thank you all for thr amazing time and I LOVE y'all!!! 매일매일 사랑해!!♥♥
Gotta love the subtly implied “I’m stranding you at a truck stop in Mexico” from Karina at the end
I wasn’t able to donate during the stream but I just donated $195 which is what I made from working at my polling place! (remember to vote)
It was so silly seeing them holding their breath in the tunnel in Oregon because I have held my breath in that EXACt tunnel so so so many times!!
I caught this stream live but unfortunately fell asleep after Washington because it was like 2AM 😭 so basically I'm that part of chat who got concussed, died, got resurrected, still managed to sleep through it all 😂
As someone who's been a fan of drawfee since before starting to medically transition this means to much. Thank you for all the support from all of ya'll and the community. It genuinely means so much. Ya'll have helped the queer community so much the last few years this money is gonna help so many people. Three places in june. I'm still blown away by the campout donations. Thank you
It's so fun looking at the places in this game that I've been. I live in or and it's so rad to be like wow I've been there in a game
It means so much to know that someone you watch is a safe haven. Like... A place where you don't need to be wary about something coming from left field.
So... Yeah. I'm glad they're doing something like this. Not only as a public signal to show where they stand, but also by getting so many people together to give to a good cause.
Went on a solo road trip but wanted company. Played this vid. You all are the best trip buddies.
whenever i'm having a hard time or i'm having trouble picking what to play when falling asleep, i come back to this vod. the vibes are exactly the pick me up i need to remember the good parts of humanity, and also to fall asleep to without getting stuck in mindsoup of anxiety. thanks drawfee 💖
I do the same. it’s an amazing community🥰
I couldn’t make my city’s pride this year bc of chronic illness and I felt so awful but this stream was on and it made me feel so much better! Ty folks
happy pride!!! 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
i think virtual road trip streams should be a thing more often, this is so fun and wholesome :)
TRANS RIGS!!! from this British bisexual who is very disoriented by the side of the road you're driving on.
This roleplay scenario that the crew and the chat maintained tirelessly for nearly five hours, buoyed by the chill music, creates a cozy and extremely surreal experience that I deeply enjoy
the "you can bypass the waystation" ongoing joke is very similar to an ongoing joke in my family where my parents point out one particular car dealership to one of my sisters every time we pass it (to the point of going out of our way to call her when she's not in the car to tell her we are passing it). That car dealership sold us the minivan my mom drove *three* cars ago. We still do it.
This is actually so comforting. I love taking long car rides with friends and this has such good vibes (crashing and other accidents aside)
this was such a blast to watch live! seeing the donation meter climb into the stratosphere was magnificent. Trans rigs from here to Mexico, up and down the block, honk 'em if you got 'em 🧡🏳🌈🏳⚧
Yaaaaaaaaaaaas!!!!
Trans rigs baybee let's go!
Trans rights are human rights!
2:03:55 Karina promises: “If we reach a hundred, I’ll go to traffic violations court live on stream.”
Thank you for documenting this because she has to do it now
Honking my horn for Trans Rigs, I am excited to see the VOD.
Julia taught me more about Washington than my 18 years living here
TRANS RIGS!!!!!!!
TRAANS RIGS!!!!!!!
TRAAANS RIIIIGGGGGGGS!!!!!!!!!
*HONK HONK*
TRANS RIGS🔥🔥
*BIIIP BIIIP*
re. Julia's dad doing a really American accent when he's French, just like my dad, aggressively doing the broadest Aussie accent to mess with family when we're Scottish expats. Dads is the same lol
This was the first Drawfee stream I was able to tune into live, and it was SO much fun (don't worry, I never got left at a gas station)
But do you have a concussion? 🔦
I'm FINE 🤕👍
I really feel Julia's pain because I also have driven through Texas overnight. I'm so sorry, Julia.
As someone from Mexico that travels a lot by car the "Another toll??!!?" is a irl experience and I laughed every time they had to pay a toll on the game
That star that disappears at 2:25:08 is El Paso, TX (my hometown)! Howdy from El Paso! The star is on the mountain here in El Paso, and is the symbol for "home" to all who live here. I think the game glitched and they saw it through the mountain since the star is on the south side of the mountain, and they were arriving from the northeast down US 54, through the NW side of town (hence the random disappearance as the mountain loaded in in front of the star as they got closer).
Nathan and Karinas horrible driving lead us to the funniest moments in the stream and its lovely
