NOTIFICATION SQUAD: We took so long with this (explained why in the intro) that it made sense in the end, to release it on the cusp of Cyclethon 3 which kicks off on Monday 1st April! We'll be streaming on Connor's Twitch for 14 days non-stop from Yamaguchi to Tokyo (if all goes well) and for this next one, we aim to get the cyclethon video out a lot quicker! Enjoy the many highs and lows of our epic Kyushu adventure, and keep an eye out for both the stream and also a Wacky Weekend episode out here tomorrow!! We're spoiling you this week. And of course donate to the Immune Deficiency Foundation! primaryimmune.org/

This video was EXCELLENT! I felt like I was watching a road trip episode of The Grand Tour. The crew did a phenomenal job with the cinematography, sound, editing etc. And what I loved most was the raw on-camera personalities. I loved the unscripted struggles and side quests. The pain and joy looked genuine. It really drew me in. I also enjoy your scripted videos but this one felt like I was living vicariously through you - an instant classic! In the future, you will look back at the glory days and perhaps show this to your grandchildren (minus CDawg twerking)

Unfortunately bad emotions outweigh the positive in our minds and hearts. It's something I feel people have to actively work on preventing by not being so hard on themselves and others, not getting so hung up on things, but also allowing ourselves to enjoy even the little things. When it comes to feeling proud of your work that took a long time to finish there's another issue where it's just hard to see, in retrospect, the amount of work and struggle that went into it. It always feels like we could have done more.
