Cali4nia (Like the State but with a "4")

[JAQInferno]

Oh hi mark

[Fanora]

Awe, man now I really wanna peach but ITS WINTER.

[thetreeiamweirditink]

I near enough exploded when I heard Jeffrey Lewis! If this lot collaborated with him I would die happy.

[TheDude4077]

jeffrey lewis is my favorite person ever

[LedDaveZeppelin]

Chinese cemetery + Tom Petty = LaurenOC12

[oldvet53]

Darling you can't trust technology.

[Bitnd12]

When I'm having a bad day, I watch this. It makes things better.

[ImInABand0213]

wats the song playing in the backround throughout the video?? i love it SO MUCH!!!!

[charminlarmin129]

"What a national treasure." Lols

[louismensinger]

YOU WATCH THE ROOM!!!! AAAAAAHHHHHH soooo cool. let me hang out with you, send me a messege, let me hangout with yooooouuuu!!!!

[APeterson1122]

Nice editing. I'm glad you didn't hit that deer... although it would have made for some dramatic footage.

[LaurenOC12]

@APeterson1122 Yeah I think I was going about 10 mph. If he got hit, then I would have given Darwin a high five.

[APeterson1122]

@LaurenOC12 A Toyota Corolla is the logical delivery system for natural selection if you ask me.

[LouTheGrotesque]

Jack looks so different without a beard

[TheMultiUber]

did you say you moved here?! (California)

[TalkinglikeaTeen]

i didnt even know you were funny. this video was mindblowing and lifechanging.

[TheMultiUber]

THE FUCKIN RAT POISON! LOL'D SO HARD!

[ZechsMerquise73]

Did you ever see that movie 'The Wizard'?

[ChannelCassie]

Also, driving around in my car. And by my car, I mean my mom's car that she let me drive.

I should really remember all the things I want to say before posting a comment. Whatever. I regret nothing.

[ChannelCassie]

also, it was weird watching, through your eyes, you walk past the places I walk past literally every day.

[ChannelCassie]

You've got some great liners. I think the next time I run into you, I'll respond to you only with one liners that you came up with. Not really. I don't have the patience for that.

Filming while driving? You clearly have the potential to cause the collapse of the british government.

[NiteRider107]

Way to be cliche actually.

I like California. A lot. Mostly because...that's where I live.

(OH NO MY LOCATION IS REVEALED...ON THE INTERNET)

[breeisreallyawesome]

wow.. i totally loved this video. :)

thanks for making my day, which is also usually clippy and random. and I hope you found your best buy. :)

[lolzinator11]

I always wear earbuds when I'm driving - I'm a dangerous menace to society, but the cops will never take me alive!

[ZechsMerquise73]

You went all the way to CALI4NIA and didn't even stop at the Nintendo World Video Game Championships???

[patricktoccimusic]

Hilarious! I love driving around Cali, even when I don't have an aux in port. The GPS a must-have however. Did you get to see Laurel Canyon Boulevard?

[nivro]

CUTE DOG :D

[brokenyard]

Did Nataly say "If we go down one street, we'll be high?"

[LaurenOC12]

"We'll be happier," I believe it was.

[brokenyard]

Oh. Hahahaha I'm dumb.

[milliradian]

First trip to the PRK?

[LaurenOC12]

What's that?

[milliradian]

Peoples Republic of Kalifornia.

[LaurenOC12]

OH. Not quite. I went earlier this year, actually.

[milliradian]

It does catch fire here and there.

[tehryanx]

proud to say I recognized the artist even tho I didn't know the song. :)

[TheAuxiliaryMusic]

"...is the FUCKING rat poison!" I love it.

[AllPurposeNerd]

I just can't get over how offended the dog got. (S)he really was like, "That's not nice, I don't need this stuff, forget you, man, jeez."

[ekbyrd1]

It makes me unnaturally happy that you're driving a prius for a section of this. :)

[LaurenOC12]

Wait a tick. I'm not driving a Prius, I'm riding in Jack's briefly. I was driving a Corolla the whole time though, Sadtown, USA.

[AllPurposeNerd]

*pout*

...I drive a Corolla.

[AllPurposeNerd]

And for the record, it has a cassette player, in which I have a cassette adaptor for a... five-year-old discman that can play MP3s.

[LaurenOC12]

That might actually mean that your Corolla was older than mine. I had a CD player but no cassette. But who travels with CDs? COME ON.

[AllPurposeNerd]

...it's a '97, actually. And I... travel with... like 5 CDs.

*open sobbing*

[jjohncoffee]

wtf ... a cassette player?! If the car had a cassette player, would you have a tape put in it and play? ... and what kind of music would be on a tape..

[LaurenOC12]

I had a cassette adapter for my ipod. Get with the future, man.

[hinataandnaruto4evr]

Yes! I actually just got a cassette adapter for my ipod today. So happy! Now I can listen to music I like while I drive...and it's not illegal.

Sorry, jack fm, you still ave a place in my heart.

[ChateauOfADoubt]

5 stars for chinese cemeteries. Which is of course why I don't believe in GPSs. Also, hooray for road trips!

[AllPurposeNerd]

I think your GPS sent you to the Tomb of one Hualing "Bess" Bai. It's an easy mistake to make, really.

[igetbored1st]

oh where were you? i think that could have been one of the fires i was fighting :P

[LaurenOC12]

Santa Paula?

[igetbored1st]

ah i fail. no i was further north i did however did see that one on my way back home.

[AllPurposeNerd]

That's probably one of the most badass things I've ever read in a YouTube comment.

[Kiioko]

That happened to me too, Lauren!!! I typed in a certain mall onto my GPS and after I missed three exits, it got pissed and sent me to a graveyard. They're evil. They are.

[beckmie]

My GPS system brings me to random churches, when I'm looking for structures near water. ya think someones trying to tall me some thing???

[whisperwhistle]

pretty cool...

mostly i liked the hidden doe at 1:32 ^^

[masparasol]

When you said "Way to be cliched birds" I thought, now that is something I would say!

Um..if that comment means anything, but I liked your video.

[Ph00k4]

make more like this!

[lexiethenerd]

I kind of feel like I just watched the most awesome version of Paper Heart ever. You're hysterical.

[doctormyeyes1030]

Tom Petty's Breakdown =DDD

[kylelowe]

LOL.

In California, Best Buy usually equals Chinese Cemetery. I should know, I live in California and am half Chinese.

[raynbow105]

Poor Lee Lamb.

You're awesome!

Road trip in Ireland 09'?

We don't have any chinese cemeteries but we have pleanty of nature that isn't on fire.

Some of it might be but I'm thinking most of it is pretty wet so...

But we have houses so you can be dry. And electricity in all major cities :P

Convinced?

[BlankJebus]

That's why i don't buy Toyota

[LaurenOC12]

The rental car policy was, I quote: "20 year olds don't get the sexy cars."

[summerfae]

amazing :)

[charlottemunster]

Yay - road trip!

"Way to be cliche, birds" LMAO!!!

[rustytuesday]

Good stuff Lauren! You should do these more often!

[scriptea]

I laughed my ass off when you mentioned the rat poison.

[kidsinsuits]

i've always to take a Tommy Wiseau tour of SF, consisting of just riding the trolley up over Nob hill once or twice, and then driving the golden gate bridge about eighteen billion times.

Also, Pomplamoose+Lauren O'Connell= sheer awesome.

[protagonist14]

Maybe the chinese came back as zombies,and built an underground society,which included a best buy.Or maybe you could just dig up a grave in case someone buried themselves with their favourite apple products.

[lukeisastalker]

i love your sense of humor :) ahaha i lol'd many times

[sEweron]

1:57, did you just said "casette player"? Haven't seen a casette player in... ermmm, years : ) sure as hell they don't put them in cars anymore, I mean - what for : )

[Quixotic1018]

You were in frisco and had no references to full house? for shame

[LaurenOC12]

It was so hard to leave the Tanners out of this video.

[crimsong19]

Doggie Day Care? That's in the San Fran area ... near Lombard Street, right? We stayed in a hotel a few blocks away from that Doggie Day Care when we were out in CA in 2003 or 2004.

Oh, look! Rat poison!

Oh, Tom Petty on the radio! Nice!

Adorable dog!

[matthewgoodnight92]

"Fucking Rat Poison!"

[8Tails]

Dude... I kinda want that gps.

Hahahaha This video was hilarious.

Also, I'm loving the song.

[yuppy64]

:D

Lauren I think you just intensified my (barely) platonic love for you maybe 1.5 times.

I think this is the first time I've heard you swear, which was awesome.

[Wallflower01]

lmao...."and right next to the bed is the FUCKING RAT POISON" Love it.

[pete275]

that song sounds like it was composed by you and covered by some guy.

your GPS is trying to send you a message

[0hhelleur]

wait, you were in the city tooo?! UGH! Why the hell didn't I gooooo?

[jamesmarshallhendrix]

Jack's hair has been rearranged. Reminds me of Wooly Willy.

[RebelWithAFrog]

Tom Petty "there is no sense in pretending" (looking for ipod accessories in a chinese cemetery). Classic.

[FancyNewAmie]

I saw "Lewis" in the sidebar and immediately assumed you were talking about Jenny Lewis, I was a little disappointed not going to lie.

[LaurenOC12]

She may not have made the video, but Jenny Lewis is the soundtrack of my heart.

Just kidding.

But seriously. Soundtrack of my heart.

[calebmovie]

le sigh.

jenny lewis.

[funkwurm]

I thought Lady Gaga was the soundtrack of your heart.

She is for me...

[LaurenOC12]

Next time I suffer a violent coronary.

[ChristianRidenour]

hahaha "you look so ashamed"

i liked that song. but where's you know..monterey and santa barbara? or the bay area ghettos

[Newradical78]

"But this is a Chinese Cemetery..." There was what looked like a springer spaniel in there too! Yer so great and kewt!

[mouseandelephant]

HAHAHA Rat poison!

[joyisobelx3]

Whoa, hey look. You were in my homeland. Well, it's not so much my homeland anymore, but whatever. Anyways, thanks for distracting my from my APUSH notes, I find your travels far more entertaining haha.

[LaurenOC12]

Are you reading Bailey? Don't do that.

[joyisobelx3]

I don't think so, it's something called "The American People: Creating a Nation and a Society". I'm sure it's equally dull... and heavy.

[jackie77m]

btw! did you happen to stop by San Diego? :--)

[jackie77m]

hahah the ending's funny.

[TrantHenru]

Thank you for the video.

[RupertsCrystals]

Lol. "At least there weren't snakes."

You mean, at least you didn't see any snakes...

[rustash]

hahaha "..the FUCKING RAT POISON"

[w0smith]

I had to smile about you leaving LA as soon as you arrived ... I hope you at least saw highway 1 on the way south, it's a pretty awesome drive

[ConnGames]

I question how safe filming yourself and driving is. YOU ARE UNSAFE! :)

[ThomasNuyork]

Thumbs up for the footage of that journey and the background music from Jeffrey Lewis

[trucolorinmusic12]

The ROOOOM!!!!

yes. you're tearrrrring me aphaaattt.

[yoeddy1970]

SF one of my favorite cities. I never rely on my GPS 100%. Too many stories of people driving into rivers or off cliffs for my comfort. See you at the Grammy's!

[2ruby202]

Great choice of backing track. I only discovered Jeffrey Lewis recently .. the man's genius :)

[Justlivinhere]

Just got your CD off itunes and loving it.

If you ever come to Israel for a show, I wilI be there!

I won't hold my breath though...

[7chobbers7]

i was just there like three months ago! did you drive from sacremento down to san fran? san francisco is the best. pier 39 kicks so many other piers' butts that it's not even funny... well maybe it is but... whatever. im rambling..bleh i seriously recognized some of those hills. but then again they all look pretty much the same from the road. im going to stop talking now

[lukeseed]

You came to California and didn't play a show?! now I'm sad. This was our chance!

[LaurenOC12]

I know, I'm sorry. The trip was way too short notice.

[Genie4sho]

I'm only on minute 2... and I am highly entertained... Thank you!

[emilou102]

"This peach is mindblowing" haha. Love it

[classicjamie81]

Best Video EVER... plus your GPS rocks... loved the new improved "best buy"!!

[LaurenOC12]

Office Max is the last remaining retailer with no restocking fee on returned GPS's. So, for all intents and purposes, it was free. And great.

[chrisfIew]

That was great. And yeh, what's the song?

[LaurenOC12]

"LIfe" by Jeffrey Lewis.

[MeganVahabi]

california looks nice

[glasslighthouses]

Awesome! What's that song in the background?

[rogerdabadge82]

did you get boerd? lol

cant wait for more music from you.

[Mulletland]

Love love love you, this video, and this song. What's its name?

[Clairifus]

best 'best buy' ever.
