Obviously the running every day is ridiculous but the fact that there have been 2x weekly, consistent videos with smooth editing, drone shots, grading, comedic skits and mini docs about the culture, is just as impressive IMO. I mean, they're touring through places with patchy internet, sometimes extremely remote and dangerous wildlife and yet the quality hasn't suffered. Shout out to Stan and Jamie.

Thank you for stopping by the Triskell hostel in Nouakchott, I met you on the road to Diama when I was leaving for Senegal and when I returned to the hostel it was the day you left, unfortunately I was not able to see you and invite you, give me a sign so that I can reimburse you for what you paid at the hostel in order to support you, I didn't know that you were going to stay with us otherwise I would have given instructions for your welcome . Good luck and congratulations on your action.

Aright, I have a bone to pick here with the editor, This is the fourth time I think that I have half-jumped out of my seat, when "the car or truck hits Russ" three times I have been screaming, "noooooo not again, don't f-ing do that to me" hahahahahaha you got me EVERY time, I'm, thinking "well that car is going pretty fas... oooooh nooo not again" the worst part is I found this channel three days ago, I have been binge watching it all and still I fall for it every time.

96 episodes in, watched every one, and at 20:00 Russ finally tells a little about how he was personally growing up, and he sounds like an Enneagram 8 maybe(you're not supposed to guess for other people). But it fits I think. 8's are called the Challenger. Their tendancy is to battle, butt heads, fight a bit and they don't respect people who don't fight back. But as they mature, they start to take care of others and at their best they use their strength to help everyone they can. Way to grow up, brother. Love you Russ!
