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

"We turned off cops" Glad to see them taking "no cops at Pride" seriously

“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.

Ok, so y'all agree that if the Trans Rig was a transformer it'd be called Optimus Pride, right?

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

"someone donated two Bella dresses" Americans will measure in anything but the metric system

Dang. Someone donated 2k for Karina to do one push-up and she just was like , “ nah fam”. Respect . Stick to your guns

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!

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.

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.

Whoever made the donation from “the sun” that said “I don’t hate women, I just looove men” please know that you are my brethren because I was going to make the EXACT same joke

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.

wow, both jacob AND julia can drive? true power couple

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.

"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!

The angle of the camera makes it look like we’re sitting on the dashboard and in my opinion dashboard goblin fits the drawfee community perfectly

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.

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 haven't driven since I was 17 and I'm about to be 30" Karina continues to be an absolute ICON

"Will I never see the sun?" No Julia, you have to drive this Rig Full of Vampires under cover of dark.

Being a gay professional driver seeing this really makes my heart beat incredibly fast for so many reasons

"We turned off cops... we can do illegal things like this: " *Crosses over dashed line with no oncoming traffic.* ...alright, buddy. **slow clap**

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 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

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

Hi folks! If you're watching this VOD after Pride Month is over, please know that you are still loved and deserve happiness!

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.

Being enraged and stuck behind drivers going 5 under the speed limit in rural Washington is the hyper-specific simulationism I am here for.

47:46 the 3 minutes of silence from Julia as she desperately tries to find interesting facts about idaho

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

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

Shout out to the car at 2:56:00 who nearly died trying to overtake Jacob!!

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

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

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

I have no words to accurately describe how deadened inside I feel having 'Washington facts' just Twilight factoids 😭

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

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

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

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

Nobody was ready for who would crash the rig

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!

Julia has such a mom cadence when sharing trivia. (Positive)

You think the original TransRig on that GarticPhone episode is still with us? Watching from some magical place?

Like a real road trip, I dozed off and startled awake to someone hitting a sign.

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.

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!

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

new top surgery just dropped: lost my tits in the trans rigs accident

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

It’s been a tough year to be trans and this stream truly meant truckloads 🖤

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

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!!!!!

Props to Julia to keeping up her masquerade well. Despite having only night driving segments, she resisted making a Rig Full Of Vampires joke 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Because of how round Nathan is always drawn, I always forget he's so skinny

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.

"Do we have to use the blinker" is the most Texas question I've ever heard

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

I have never been prouder to have a drawfee tattoo on my body forever !! This dog CAN drive and he drives a TRANS RIG !!!!

Sometimes I think about how some KZfaqrs 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.

WARNING ⚠️ this stream is NOT free of Cats (2019) ⚠️ Great stream, great charity, great cause!!!!! Trans Rigs!! Much love.

Karina’s ominous “enjoy Mexico” at the end was perfect

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 😂

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

I have never heard of the "hold your breath" thing at 24:15 and it felt so surreal and unnerving watching people hold their breath while going through a tunnel XD

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.

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

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.

Gotta love the subtly implied “I’m stranding you at a truck stop in Mexico” from Karina at the end

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

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 ❤❤❤

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!!

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.

The Dog Bark Park Inn is apparently a building shaped like a beagle, that's an Inn, at a dog park.

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 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)

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

2:03:55 Karina promises: “If we reach a hundred, I’ll go to traffic violations court live on stream.”

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!!♥♥

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 💖

“Coward? No, it’s called edging.” MA’AM 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Ugh. I wanna be her friend so bad.

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).

2:49:30 In this 20 questions, Julia asks, is the character a gas station, is it from the anime Loony Tunes, and yet she was the one to figure out that it's Goku lol.

Julia taught me more about Washington than my 18 years living here

Great callback, Karina: “God is peeing on you? But we’re not even in Texas anymore!” 3:41:33

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)

Fun fact about Washington's state insect: Washington only has a dragonfly as a state insect because a bunch of elementary school students in the 90s had a class project where they wrote to the legislature and requested that their mascot, the dragonfly, be the state insect and it was approved

i think virtual road trip streams should be a thing more often, this is so fun and wholesome :)

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

Tussel MacDonald sure has 4 crazy characters in his head while he's on the road.

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)

I really feel Julia's pain because I also have driven through Texas overnight. I'm so sorry, Julia.

This is actually so comforting. I love taking long car rides with friends and this has such good vibes (crashing and other accidents aside)

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
