Question, I remember you often said one of the ideas for the channel was/is going to be "real-life Geoguesser", what do you mean by that exactly?

nice

@@DiegoTurletti real-life Geoguessr is coming very soon, it involves being blindfolded and driven to an unknown location in the UK!

Are you going to do mission across Scotland? That would be so cool!

@@GeoWizard Wow that sounds amazing and slightly kinky (?) looking forward to it!

Honestly, this is almost certainly what has happened. the Conductor knows that even if they are trying to avoid paying, tourists will simply refuse to pay any fine - so it is not worth their hastle.

That makes sense. The trick worked then, albeit not in the way that we planned!

Couldn’t have wrote it better

think proper telly shows have too much pressure to be too perfect, edited, pruned. another example that can be compared is the top gear specials - though it's brilliant a lot of the 'moments' are clearly scripted for entertainment. people who click on smoething like this are well aware that it might be a slow burn with less 'crazy moments' but that makes it more real and interesting when something exciting does happen - and also more relatable to real life experience than the fantasy world of tv the boston to miami series has my full attention because he's kept it true to the format of this but the production quality has only gone up

So well said

It's a masterpiece. What KZfaq was made for.

like in what way could this have possibly been more cringy than most of the content on youtube?

@@smarty2985 Because when you boil what they're doing down, they're asking complete strangers for handouts, which is usually pretty awkward and cringey. Don't get me wrong, though, the video was great.

@@harrylawson6293 you got me there. it's definitely second-hand embarrassment worthy but when i think of cringy i think of something which is painfully gaudy. im thinking more along the lines of "internet cringe".

You need to watch his journey across Wales in a straight line. A brilliant adventure!

Same. Literally my favourite videos. They just bring me joy

Yeah I like the straight line videos but I just absolutely love this series and the sense of adventure it has, it's a shame how underrated it is compared to his other series.

@@neil9651 you are saying geowizard actually bought a ticket?

I think it was a mistake in the original mission across Wales but he decided to keep it

4:3 is the native aspect ratio of the GoPro (his model at least) so I'm guessing he decided to just keep it uncropped.

I kind of like it.

It’s better this way! Doesn’t take away from the content and brings back old youtube

4:3 is wonderfully the aspect ratio of an iPad, so these videos fill up the whole screen!

I came here to write basically exactly this. This series is the best thing he's ever done. It just makes me so happy to watch.

Jonathan Tjäder nonono, don’t fall for this human interaction trap, you might even enjoy it.

@@muhammadhafiz_h4 I wonder where this assumption comes from. I have it too, but it is not based on experience, because people are mostly friendly if you are too.

@@schwan8 I don't know. I'm quite afraid of talking to strangers and I don't really know how to talk to people (but I'd like to). I guess that's the reason..

For some reason people tend to be more friendly to foreigners than their own people. Atleast from my experience

definetly possible as long as it's in the south, north too mountainous

utterly impossible, now a hiking trip through the coastline, now thats fun, i have done it myself with a friend.

I believe it is possible, but I’m unsure about the presence / strictness of the farmers..

What is wrong with people like you? I guess I just don’t know anyone who isn’t socially capable... even before the virus did you stay inside 24/7?

@@KaneK1234 I don't expect you to read this but who knows. I can only talk on my behalf. No, enjoyed being outside. Used to. So. I've been diagnosed with aspergers when I was 12, for me just meaning I've a hard time keeping eye contact, picking up on social cues, being considered blunt or even rude for not participating in socially expected niceties(for ex. Pretending your happy to see someone you barely know, hugging people, just being expressive in general) as a kid having little interest in other people and such not developing many social skills. But all of that isn't the problem, because at that point I wasn't scared of interacting with people, I still enjoyed it. The problem was developed when they tried to make me conform to society's expectations. Being forced to 'therapy', being punished for not being able to do the things other kids were. The extend I can't properly explain in a yt comment. But suffice to say, it broke me. I have 0 confidence, I was gaslighted to except any and all problems are always my fault, I can't stand up for myself to this day and it bothers me so much if I feel like I seem out of place to anyone to the point of emotional break downs and sometimes even self harm. Yes I am more palatable to the general public, but at the cost of depression, social anxiety, generalized anxiety disorder, regular panic attacks, with and without trigger, absolutely NO social life and all that contributing to me not being able to keep a job or do... Basically enjoy anything I used to. So with not being able to keep a job also comes self worth issues. I feel like I've failed the kid I once was. A smart, good kid, with a bright future. My family is the one that broke me, but also my only security net. It's awful. I'm 24 now. Out of work again since August last year. It's impossible to find a therapist here and I don't know if I can go on much longer Life is about people and I can't have that

@@funsize69 do not listen to these stupid kids. We cant know what ppl are living through. I really hope you will get better by meeting the right ppl not acting like the guy in the other comment. You are not the only person living this kind of situation and I am sure you will get better with time. Maybe you should leave your past life and try to find a quiet place where you can be yourself and feel free. If you dont like human contact try to go to a remote place to find yourself again. You said you were a nice and clever kid, I am certain you can start again from there. Anyways I am not a doctor but just a human being caring about the others. But one thing is certain, self harming is the worst thing ever and it wont help you at all in the end. I really hope you will find some peace inside yourself and that you wont do anything bad. Wish you all the best! A human being

@@catnip294 I honestly think Deckard was just curious. I cannot fathom how it must be like, to be someone like the guy in the video and some ppl just cannot understand how one becomes a person like me. Don't think there was ill intent. I was away from home during my apprentice ship for four years, some things were better, others worse and I had the lowest point of my life there. The thing is, I love people and being around people, but it stresses me out beyond the point of, 'well everyone is nervous meeting new people'. I have trouble finding meaningful relationship, or even just keeping people interested. Cuz finding ppl is not hard when you are a conventionally attractive person, but when you can't engage with them properly, they just lose interest. Which is fair, they don't owe me anything. But the thing is, I didn't have these problems when I was a kid. Just after my therapy bs Btw english isnt my native language so if anything sounds wierd, that's why

i felt the same way omg

Thanks Kayla glad you enjoyed your festive surprise!

Sorry for the necropost I've never heard of this phrase before, and instantly I'm captivated by it. Not as a philosophy, but as a general character archetype concept.

@@collinmclaren6608 Diceman isn't a coin of phrase, it's an old TV show that used to air in the UK. It was about a bloke from Cheshire who would go on trips around the country, sometimes other countries. While doing that he would go up to six strangers and just ask them "what would you do today?" He would take answers from each, and then assign the idea a number and roll the dice. Then he would go do that thing it landed on. He would also take destinations and ways to get to those destinations from randomers too, and they'd say some whacky places and methods. Incredible show that is unfortunately trapped up in licencing rights hell, so it has never been rebroadcast. The theme song for that show just sends me right back to being 6 and watching it on the Discovery Channel. Waste my life awaaaaaay...

or they actually did pay 🤔😂😂

Yeah, I've never been to Switzerland, but my father took the train there only once, which actually by mistake was a wrong train, and he was fined for that + had to buy another ticket.. which makes me really hesitating whether to ever go or not.. I'll probably be fined like hell there for anything - for instance, to go to work, I take the train without ticket every day where I live.. And the times I got caught, the controller didn't even care coz it's not a long ride.

Its worse when you pay for a ticket and they don't even check you, it has happened to me 4 times in a row now
