- [Man] It's the hottest year on record.
- [Woman] Coal is the future
- [Woman] Polar bears are supposed to be that thin.
The sea levels are rising.
- [Man] The only thing I know about windmills
is that Don Quixote fought one once
(gasps)
- Humans are killing the planet,
and I'm complicit as fuck!
(energetic rock music)
(phone keys clicking)
(phone rings)
- Holy tweet-storm Batgirl.
Are you okay?
- No, greed has taken over the planet,
and I can't get out of bed.
- JC, you just tweeted at Mother Earth.
- Wait, did she get a reply?
- Not yet, she's having a moment.
- Um, more than a moment, a meltdown.
- Earth is having a meltdown, and we're bringing out
the f-ing popcorn.
- Breath, JC.
(heavy breathing)
- Is that reusable?
- All bags are reusable.
- Nice,
trick question.
- JC, the New American Road Trip is looking for drivers.
- The new what?
- Check your email.
I sent you the link about a month ago.
Hi, I'm B-list internet personality Francesca Fiorentini,
and I don't know if you've noticed,
but big corporations and certain government officials,
(coughs)
Sorry, air quality in this city.
Big institutions and people have been dropping the ball
on climate change.
The good news is, it doesn't mean we have to.
There are many things you can do,
like changing how you get to work,
what you eat, what you buy,
it's time we get to know the people working
to help their communities and this country
get its head on straight about climate change.
- Whoa, holy shit.
- So get into a stranger's car for once in your life,
because this is the New American Road Trip.
So what's the plan?
We'll start here in gentrified San Francisco
and end up in New York City to hand deliver
a collection of signatures from Americans
across the country who are pledging their support
for climate solutions.
Think of it like the DARE contract that you
signed in high school to not do drugs,
only this time, you'll actually keep your promise.
How are we getting there?
Using the most sustainable mode of transportation to date,
an invisible wind horse.
It actually wasn't available, so
we're in an electric car!
This baby runs on electric power supplied by
wind, solar, water.
Along the way you'll meet some very funny people
without real jobs, comedians like me.
Also, Jamie Lannister from Game of Thrones.
- Who doesn't like a road trip?
- Oh, snap, the king slayer!
- He's not a comedian, but he's hot,
and scary.
So buckle up, because the future is here,
and we're looking for a driver crazy enough
to go the whole way.
Is it you?
- You just blew my mind.
Adding Nagin.
- New York is representing!
Did you guys ask her?
Is she gonna do it?
Are you, JC are you gonna do it?
Whoo, road trip!
I mean for you, not for me.
I can't do it, I pee all the time.
I'm too pregnant.
- Yes, I'm in.
- Dope.
Pack your tiniest bag, you're going to Vegas.
- To hang out with me, yeah, yeah!
(howling)

- Mother Earth has the same sense of humor as
my actual mother.
(plane engine roars)
(popping)
- [Narrator] Coming up, on The New American Road Trip...
(upbeat music)
- Was that everything we wanted it to be and more?
