Hi, yes, we are back in Korea, and how do we know that we are back in Korea?
Well, there is construction to the left of us, cicadas all around us.
- The cicadas piss me off.
- I can't hear you over the cicadas...
- I said that the cicadas piss me off!
And eight-dollar drinks, these are coffees, eight dollars.
There is no alcohol in here, it's literally espresso, water, ice.
So we figured we'd make this video about our favorite memories from the US tour
because there is a lot of stuff that we didn't actually get to video tape over there
and some amazing stories that we are going to cherish for the rest of our lives.
Oh yeah...
I want to start with one of my favorite memories from Seatle
Go for it.
So we had one of our friends, Brian who is a driver
professional driver from Las Vegas
come and help us drive because we had two cars
and when Martina and I are in one car, then Brian could be driving the other car.
Along the way to Seattle, Brian and I went out for some ice-cream
for some ice-cream because Brian is a good friend of mine.
We wound up going to the counter
and she says to us: "Oh, where are you guys from?"
and he says: "I'm from Las Vegas"
and she says: "Oh, Las Vegas, that's really interesting, my brother is turning tricks in Las Vegas..."
I thought to myself: "Wait a second, did she just tell me that her brother is a prostitute?"
Then she wound up saying: "Oh, if it was my cousin Johnny, then I'd be totally understanding
, because I know what Johnny is, he'd definitely be turning tricks,
, but my brother Timmy, that really hurt my family.
Here is your ice-cream.
Why did you...I just want an ice-cream,
I don't want to hear about the prostitution in your family, this is supposed to be a kids shop?
He licked his ice-cream and walked away sadly...
I have a favorite memory from Atlanta.
When we were grocery shopping, we got separated from each other and couldn't find each other anywhere in the store
so I was like, pushing the cart and looking around everywhere, so this guy that works there came up to me
and he was like: "Can I help you, you look like you are lost?"
- I said: "Oh, no, it's OK, I'm actually looking for my friend."
Then he goes: "Let me ask you a question, are you taken?"
and naive and innocent Martina was like: "No, I'm planning to pay for all of this,
I'm not going to take..."
and he is like: "No girl, are you taken? You got a man?"
Then I realize I was being hit on...
Within 5 minutes of arriving in Atlanta, you got hit on like that!
Then after giggling awkwardly like a schoolgirl, I was finally like: "Oh, I'm so sorry, I'm actually married..."
and he just looked me up and down and he was like: "Girl, tell your man he is a lucky guy."
Damn right I'm lucky, she is awesome, I married her, she is mine for life.
Then I ran away with my cart...I'll never be left alone again.
You've never been hit on in Korea.. - No...
Not once. In Atlanta twice within 5 minutes and there is another guy right afterwards.
In the beginning when I went to pick up the car, Atlanta is the best..
We like Atlanta, thank you for making us feel attractive, Atlanta.
Me attractive, I don't know about you, you didn't get hit on... -Didn't I do though?
I have my favorite story which is from New York city and the first thing when we landed in New York,
Martina went out with her friend Jackie who she was childhood friends with and
they caught up with memories and a whole bunch of dumb shit that I didn't want to participate in.
-What the..
I got to walk around New York city by myself and while I was there, I was eating cookies
and cakes and ice-cream and eating anything that I wanted because I'm a grown-ass man
and didn't have my wife to stop me.
If you guys have our app, you would see Simon posting secret pictures of eating cookies.
That's right, eating cookies because no one can tell me otherwise.
So, I pretty much did this for 6 hours until right around 11.30 or midnight
when I started walking home, I saw this girl who was 18 or 19 years old
and she had this little wheel-barrel with her or something along those signs
and she was saying: "Magical caramel chocolate cupcakes for sale, free samples."
." I thought to myself: "I love cupcakes, I want to have a cupcake..."
So I walk up to her and said: "Can I have a free sample?"
Then she pulls out this little bottle of caramel and she puts the caramel on my finger
and she says: "Just to let you know, it's a little bit strong."
I thought to myself: "It's caramel, how is caramel strong?"
Then I ate the caramel and then I realized that when she said that they were magical cupcakes
, they are not magical because they are delicious, they are magical because they are full of drugs.
I went to New York city and a stranger put stranger-danger drugs on my finger
and I ate drugs from my finger from a stranger in New York city and when I realized this,
I pretty much b-lined it back home, walked up stairs, dead-bolted the door behind me
and I hung my knees until my wife came home.
Then I realized that I cannot be trusted by myself because Korea has totally broke in my sense of stranger-danger
because I trust strangers around here, nobody will hurt me in Korea. Nobody will give me drugs here, it's nice here...
Listen, OK, I don’t think that Korea broke you
I just think that you are a naive person to take, why would you even buy cupcakes from a stranger on the street, period?
Because I thought that she was starting up her own business...
At 11.30 at night?
Yes...
Let me ask you a question, were you drinking before this?
A little bit, but that doesn't matter, because I saw that this girl is an entrepreneur
and that it's expensive in New York city so she is trying around to get a name for herself so I thought that...
I ate drugs, I didn't want to eat drugs...
You ate drugs from a stranger..
When we were in California, we have a story to top all stories, we were staying at an amazing Airbnb that you guys saw
on the hill side, with the beautiful view, it was just a gorgeous place, but across the street from us,
the owner of the place warned us that a guy just recently had an operation, he was on medication and he was acting off a bit lately,
but he was harmless, he was just kind of angry.
I went to back up the car into the driveway, I saw him walking past after he threw some garbage,
I did the neighborly thing: "Hi neighbor, hello!" and he walked past and looked at me and went like this...
I thought to myself: "Ah, this must be the crazy neighbor."
I get out of the car and I look up and he is actually now behind the fence of his house
and he is yelling at me: "Go home guys, go home, I know that you are all prostitutes, go home!"
and we are thinking to ourselves: "This is so confusing, maybe he thinks we are Japanese because our car says "eat your kimchee" on it,
but again, we are two very white-looking people.
Then he is being extremely racist by telling Japanese people to home because we have kimchee on our car.
I completely ignore him and I start walking inside.
That was interesting and we thought that it was over with
until we went to leave the house to meet our friend for Mexican food and we noticed
who did actually leave the house because the neighbor actually drove his car down the street and he blocked the street so that we couldn't actually leave our house.
We couldn't back out either.
He trapped us in our house, we are on top of the hill, we can't walk down, if we walk down, it will take like 2 hours.
It was a mountain, we were on top of the mountain, this place was so high up there.
So then we called our Airbnb police and when the police came, the neighbor wound up telling them: "I can't move my car because the tire is flat."
Well, the police looked at the car and realized that there actually are no flat tires on there,
so they said: "OK, can we move the car?"
The neighbor said: "If you move the car and the tire ends up exploding, I'm going to sue you and the police department."
So we wound up waiting there for 3 hours until another tow-truck came, moved this car away and we were able to leave,
but by then, half of the event was already over.
Oh, right, I totally forgot the most important part of the story
when the cops went up walking up
he wound up saying: "OK, I know that they called you to move the car, but now that you are here, I need you to go to their house because they have suitcases full of drugs and go in there and investigate and arrest them."
He told the cops that we have drugs and a prostitution ring, I love that experience more than anything else that we had so far.
OK, we were driving between Vancouver and Seattle, as we were crossing over to the American border
we had literally just crossed over, passports, everything is finished, 5 seconds across the border
Simon was asleep and Suzy was asleep, but as soon as we hit America, I look out the window
...a freaking bald eagle went flying right beside our window.
[epic eagle sound]
I slapped Lee and pointed and he can prove it
but Simon missed out on the most American thing that I had seen.
That eagle came to welcome us with all the freedoms that America has to offer.
I imagine that he was wearing tiny tank-top that was like star-sprinkled
and it had two tiny machine guns on its back because I cannot believe that I saw that bald eagle.
[epic eagle sound]
