- Well, good morning, you guys.
You just saw Asa's head.
I'm in a house,
and you guys are probably wondering,
if you haven't seen the last couple of episodes,
why I am not in the RV.
Let me explain.
At the beginning of this trip, Brooklyn and I said
if somebody donated a certain amount of money,
we would have to sleep outside the RV for the night.
A couple days ago,
we had Hairitage by Mindy donate $20,000, which is crazy
because that is so many period products.
It's gonna help so many people.
It's gonna help end period poverty.
But that also meant we had to sleep outside the RV.
We decided to reach out to one of our followers
and see if we could stay at their house.
And it worked.
And we met the nicest family.
We are going to go eat breakfast.
And then we are going to go on our way
because it's day 13 of our trip.
And we have a lot more states we gotta hit today.
Holy cow.
- When I say I slept like a rock...
I mean, I literally flipped the covers back,
and when I woke up,
I hadn't touched or moved any other part of the bed,
which means I had just lain
in the exact position I fell asleep in.
Ho ho.
(upbeat music)
- [Bailey] How was y'all's night?
- It was quiet.
- [Kamri] It was really quiet.
- Kamri always say Brooklyn and I bring the noise.
- When I was still at home and they came back from college,
it was way louder.
- I'll take that as compliment.
Of course we wanted to say thank you
to Heather and her family for housing us,
letting us stay in their bed
and just letting us eat their food.
And so we built this basket.
And it felt fitting
because it was Hairitage that brought us to them.
So it felt fitting to make a basket of Hairitage
and to give it to them, so.
Here we go. Basket acquired.
That's a word, right? Acquired.
Sounds weird when you say it.
Okay, we wanted to say thank you.
- Aw! You're so sweet. - Oh my gosh.
- And it felt fitting to do Hairitage
'cause they kicked us out, so.
- Oh, we're huge fans.
- And thank y'all so much - You guys are sweet.
- For having us.
- Bye. - Thank you.
- Thanks, guys.
- Okay, we are back in the good old RV.
- [Bailey] Francesca.
- We are back to you.
We are now headed to the Nebraska, Iowa border.
That's our next stop, so let's go.
- Okay, we are here
at a bridge this time. - This is a little bit
different than our normal state sign things because-
- We're knocking off two states in one go.
- Yes, this is a bridge that covers Nebraska and Iowa,
and there's a line.
So we're gonna go and film over there.
- And apparently the bridge's name is Bob.
- [Brooklyn] Hi, I'm Bob. I'm a bridge.
- We are on our way to conquer Nebraska and Iowa.
You know, I feel like I'm learning a lot about geography.
I'm not a good at it.
- I am geographically challenged.
- Yes, and I feel like doing this
is actually helping me learn where the states are.
You are liars if you can say you can name
where all 50 states are.
Liars. Can you name them?
- It's obvious you never played the map game.
Clear you never played Stack the States.
- I can play Stack the States,
and I know where half of them go.
What say you, Asa?
- [Asa] I could do all of them.
- What?
- Let's test that theory. - No, he's wrong.
When we're back on the RV, let's test that theory.
I'm in Nebraska.
Now I'm in Iowa.
Nebraska, Iowa, Nebraska, Iowa, Nebraska, Iowa.
- We've already done Nebraska
'cause that's where we spent the night.
And Iowa, unfortunately, we're just passing through
because we've got North and South Dakota
and Minnesota to see today.
So Iowa, we love you. Goodbye.
(upbeat music)
- South Dakota. - South Dakota.
Dakota should've come for the Dakotas.
- I know, right?
- My favorite part about the sign is it says,
"Great faces, great places." - "Great faces, great places."
- That is so funny. - There you go, South Dakota.
♪ South Dakota ♪
- Yay!
- Okay, time for us to take the states test,
like Bailey said.
I am gonna take it first,
although Bailey cannot watch me take it
because she can't know.
Ah!
Oh my gosh. I don't know. This is embarrassing.
(upbeat music)
All right, y'all. I got a 57%.
It really is those states around Florida that I was like,
"Wait, which one is this? I don't know."
- Here goes nothing.
I don't know which one this is.
Okay. I got 60%.
I did better than I thought I was going to.
No, the real kicker is Asa
who said he could get a hundred percent of them correct.
- Hey!
Oh, I thought you were putting a Cheez-It down my shirt.
- [Kamri] What'd you get? 98.
- I chose the wrong one for Wyoming.
- [Kamri] This is my score.
They're all so sad about it.
They're ignoring the fact that I just crushed them.
- We are in South Dakota,
and we are at Sioux, I think is how you say it, Sioux Falls.
So apparently this is a really beautiful site here
in South Dakota,
and so we thought we'd come in and check it out.
Intrusive thoughts I have to just throw myself
into that water right now.
It looks dirty, but I'm so hot.
It would feel so good.
- Just before anybody comes for us, we are coming back
to Mount Rushmore. - We are.
- Just stay tuned.
But for now, Sioux Falls.
I said if you lay down right here and you sit in the sun,
you'll sizzle and be a human piece of bacon.
It's so hot. I don't even know what I'm saying.
- Oh, the cartwheel saga.
I thought this was an interview saga.
They don't even know.
Ooh, ooh. They don't even know.
Another one.
Brooklyn just said that I stay
in the same position the whole time.
I'm gonna try to do professional cartwheel.
Is that better?
- With the phone. - With the phone.
(Asa grunts)
- All right, tuning into our daily fact check.
We've got some interesting state facts ready. Go.
- What was mine again?
- That Kansas City- - Oh, okay.
Kansas City is the city
that has the most fountains besides Rome.
- [Bailey] Fact check, fact check.
- My next fact is that Nebraska is the only state
to be triple landlocked.
- Fact check, fact check.
- Triple landlocked means that there are three states
before you hit water on all sides of Nebraska.
- [Asa] That's the only one.
- And it's the only state.
- [Asa] All right. - Fact check.
- [Asa] Anything else?
- Apparently the town we're currently in in South Dakota-
- the town we're going to in North Dakota.
- Oh, North Dakota. Sorry.
Is known for having painted bison all around the town.
I don't know if that's really a fact, but-
- [Asa] We're gonna try to find some.
- Bye, son.
Here we come.
Hi, son. Bye, son.
- Bye, son.
- Boy, two- All day, son.
All day. - All day.
- All day. All day.
All day, son.
(both grunt)
- The weakest chest bump there ever was.
Gotta get my Dr. Pepper.
If I'm gonna be totally honest with you guys,
we were so busy yesterday I didn't get my Dr, Pepper.
So I filmed two clips for today's video to make up for it.
And I put on a jacket
to pretend like I'm in a different outfit.
(light playful music)
- There you go.
We're not gonna run outta water anytime soon.
- How do I always end up in this position?
- [Kamri] Nobody knows what's happening here.
And I think they're trying to do a TikTok,
and I don't think it's working out.
- [Asa] What's wrong with you?
Ow! - Look at that!
- [Kamri] I don't know what the point of this is.
Asa's just trying to hide himself.
Go.
- [Brooklyn] And go.
(music playing on phone)
(Brooklyn laughing)
- [Kamri] This was not a smart idea.

Anyway, we are stopping in a place called Fargo.
I think we're gonna try and pop in for some dinner,
see some fun things.
North Dakota, here we come.
- [Brooklyn] Where's Dakota
when you need him? - [Bailey] Where's Dakota?
- [Kamri] Dakota magic.
- [Bailey] Okay, here's Asa watching the daily vlog.
I love that you watch them.
- Well, I love watching them.
And it helps me remember what we did three days ago.
- Since we've started this,
we have had so many influencer friends reach out,
just saying, how can they be a part of it?
And one of those people is someone that I have seen
on TikTok over and over and over again.
And I love the stuff that she does.
She's very open about periods, which is really cool.
So if you guys know who it is, her name is Nadya,
and she did send us a little clip to add into this video.
So we're gonna cut her in here.
- Hi, there. I'm Nadya Okamoto.
And I'm the co-founder and CEO of a brand called August.
We make more sustainable tampons and pads.
While most period products take five
to eight centuries to decompose,
August pads are fully biodegradable within 12 months.
So we're really all
about making more sustainable period care
that actually works.
So you might have seen me on TikTok.
I'm usually there doing a lot
of educational videos about periods,
just trying to talk about periods a lot more.
I thought I'd talk a little bit about the issue
of period poverty and also just some, you know,
frequently asked questions we get about periods.
So one of the most common questions I get
about period poverty is, "Who does period poverty affect?"
And I think it is a really interesting conversation
because period poverty is not just something
that affects one small subset of the population.
Period poverty is something that goes hand in hand
with poverty, in general.
Affording period products should be an absolute right
because period products are a necessity.
If anybody is struggling to afford basic necessities
and resources that they need, whether it be shelter, food,
or period products, that is period poverty.
And so this is something
that permeates every single community,
especially communities where there are menstruators
and more menstruators of marginalized communities, as well.
It is such a important thing that we all take a step
to address period poverty
and more so period stigma, as well,
'cause in order to talk about the issue,
we have to talk about periods.
So whenever I get asked how you can take small actions
to just have this conversation,
a lot of it is just bringing up with your friends,
with your family members,
what period poverty is or even talking
about your own period,
not being afraid to ask the questions
that you've always had about your periods.
So a lot of what we're trying to do at August
is just create this more open conversation about periods.
There are so many questions out there,
and I never want anyone to feel embarrassed
to ask questions or anything like that.
Anyways, I hope that I get to meet so many of you
in the future, whether it be online or in person.
Bye.
- We have officially landed in Fargo,
which is the city we are going
to be spending some time in in-
- [Asa] North Dakota. - North Dakota.
I couldn't remember which Dakota we were in for a second.
We found this really cool Mario wall,
so we're gonna go see what that's all about.
- Bison number one. Painted bison number one.
Let's see how many we can find.
I don't really know how many are here, but we're gonna try.
Do you know how long a period typically lasts?
Hm.
- Cha-ching. Cha-ching.
Mario and Luigi.
- That was pretty good. - Yoohoo.
- Wow, Asa. - Yoshi.
Let's a go.
- Oh my gosh! That was so good.
- You sound just like him.
- [Bailey] Out here in the actual wild
we've got Asa McKnight-Howard posing on the Mario wall
in Fargo, North Dakota.
Ooh, yeah. Ooh, yeah. Ooh, yeah. Yeah.
- So do you know what period poverty is?
- Yes, I did a speech about it
in school last year. - Tell me about it.
- It's just like how period products
are taxed more than other products.
And a lot of women can't even afford them.
And there's a shortage right now.
- Name as many tampon slash feminine product brands
as possible in 30 seconds.
3, 2, 1, go.
- [All] Tampax.
- Playtex. - Playtex.
- Tampax Radiance.
- Secret? - Oh the Diva cup.
- Oova, or Oove or whatever. - But I don't know the brand.
I don't know the brand. - It's a Target brand.
- I don't know.
I don't know anymore. - I think that's all.
- Time. Nice.
- I'm chewing my brownie.
- [Brooklyn] Can I actually put
hot fudge on this, as well? - This is so good.
It had good ratings. We wanted to try it.
This is simply my life motto.
Ice cream solves everything.
Don't argue with me. It's true.
Okay, so we have officially finished up in Fargo,
which means we are done with North Dakota.
We are gonna drive next to the Minnesota border.
We're not spending much time in Minnesota, unfortunately,
but we're coming to see your state sign.
(Bailey burps)
(Asa laughs)
- Wow! - That was unexpected.
- I sincerely apologize for that interruption.
Anyway, we only got-
(Bailey and Asa laugh)
I never burp, too. Ask Brooklyn.
- 'Tis true.
- But you got it on video, a rare occurrence.
We only got to see one bison,
so we were sad 'cause there's apparently 30 something
of them in the city of Fargo.
Also, the city of Fargo is apparently the biggest city
in North Dakota.
- [Asa] Fact check.
- North Dakota, where are you at?
'Cause that was not that big of a city.
On we go to Minnesota.
♪ Minnesota ♪
These songs are getting progressively worse
and worse as we go.
Minnesota!
And this is the coolest sign so far I think.
- I'll take a mini soda, Minnesota.
- We love you, but we're coming and going
'cause we got more driving to do.
Goodbye, Minnesota.
He's done this at every state line.
Every single one.
(upbeat music)
Well, hello. - Hello.
- We finished up in Fargo,
and we ended up having
a little bit longer drive than we thought
because we have a very fun activity happening tomorrow.
So we decided to do some late night driving.
We're all very tired, and it's time for donation.
- It looks like today we hit $134,500.
- That is so awesome.
And of course, this is all from you guys,
so just keep donating.
The more you donate, the more we can help people.
You guys can donate in the link in our description box
or you can just subscribe to our channel
and we'll donate on your behalf.
- And we did create a new goal.
We wanna try to hit 200,000 before the end of our trip,
so we'd love to see those donations keep coming in.
It just goes to help a ton of people.
- And we'll have to get tattoos.
- If we hit 200,000, we do get tattoos.
- So go donate.
- We'll see.
- And since we have such a late night,
this is gonna count as our good night for the night.
We will see y'all in the morning. Good night, y'all.
