01.26.10: A Stupid Roadtrip

[socorrolime]

Aww this video made me homesick.

[magicks25]

Woah.. That's one massive rain..

[Jordinazee]

WOAH! That was cool (no pun intended)! I actually felt like it was snowing outside my house! And I live in LA. And its September so its been like 90 degrees F every day!

[WebsterAnn]

May I just say, good job.

[mpanzenhagen]

so much for a nice warm desert…

[HavociannWarrior]

@mpanzenhagen Not always a warm desert and not always a desert. I live in NM so I should know haha.

[0912011038]

That was nothing. try driving in Idaho winter!

[lakergal07]

Watching this kinda makes me happy to be living in the Bahamas...

[Agmolly]

"Just try to get a really high score, okay?" LOL

[romerojoshua32]

THats not a law in New mexico...

[Kide]

that was the most epic journey ever!

[ziguloi]

enjoyed the trip actually.. from my warm and comfortable house!

[restituted]

wow. that truly was a terrible road trip. also i wish road started with an a'R'r

[stereochuck]

Lol this was epic.

[auburntigers10]

YOU JUST GOT HIT BY A SEMI, BAI!

Hahaha

[JW41926]

Maybe in New Mexico, you get a trippin' ticket for witnessing a semi hit a stranded blue truck....

[DarthServer]

not that I'm sure there aren't extenuating circumstances...but that's wimpy winter weather. Wait til the snow comes down with fog and freezes to everything =D

[americas1stborn]

Great vid man, Doc style is so much fun

[LayneSykora]

wherein i went to the bathroom, and this video was still on.

[ItsAMeMario1706]

you should try driving in the snow in North Dakota.... you can go for days without seeing anyone on a nice day in june which is creepy by itself... adding snow, cold and darkness to that just makes it exceptionally creepy. ._. i'm so glad i live in Los Angeles now.

[allthelostones]

I really like the editing you did for this video very nice. I want to try a big mac snack wrap... Lol

[potterpeach]

Was that the 10? if so, I haaaate that road...

[Silver1226]

The Mac Snack Wrap is suprisingly edible, drastically cheaper than a Big Mac, and probably healthier as well.

[mandamedieval]

After watching this epicness, there is only one question that comes to mind: Why would they make a left lane to begin with?

[xoxojojoxx]

you guys are lucky! last time i drove in the snow i totaled my car..

[Purpleknottedwings]

That was pretty epic...

Let me try to console you with the words of my father.

"The experiences you are having you couldn't buy...and probably wouldn't want to." : J

Glad you made it back safe!

[Franzombiee]

8:10 haha

[vasniltere]

So that is what the world would look like from Michael Aranda's Crotch....lol

Great vid Michael, Getting stuck in the snow is no fun. I've been down that path on a number of occasions... Glad it wasn't serious. Cheers and best wishes.

[allnightdonkeykong]

haha why were you scared of the snow xD rofl

[surferartchick]

your key-band thingy (tech term) says Brooks Institute. I went there. *smiles*

I'm glad we only see snow in southern California when we actually want to drive to it. I would hate to be caught in that mess.

[FredNTheGreatPerhaps]

Michael I love how you can make even looking at a bunch of keys interesting!

[japanesecigarette]

Man, I love VlogRamen.

[eragonus]

meh weather wasn't that bad

[soc2002]

"Omg! Make it stop!," is what every Californian was saying last week.

[GeorginaTheAwesome]

You have the nicest hands. Wow.

[ExiledAngel92]

omigosh. the weather is terrible there

[catters14]

long videos ftw

[lamelori]

that was an AWESOME roadtrip. you know, if you don't think about the near death experiences and the stupid tickets...

[artvandelay13]

I love how when something goes wrong, EVERYTHING goes wrong. Super fun.

[WhirledSol]

I love that you two are using Celsius! I would say that you broke the rules and went over the time limit BUT what you went through here is punishment enough.

[bloodrose8790]

damn weather conditions!

wat a silly road rule!

[Navs1231]

Why are you in Celsius?

[GsoPRO]

why kind of camera did you use??

[johnzsinferno]

This could have been has epic of a journey as The Odessy. YOU JUS' GOT HIT BY A SEMI, BAI!

[kaylenfalse]

why do they have a left lane then?

[Kkthenerdfighter]

I am glad you didn't die. What kind of camera do you use?

[earlgreytempest]

haha PUFF

[Agriking]

I wasn't aware that it snowed in New Mexico. Nor was I aware that you couldn't drive in the left lane in New Mexico. Out of curiosity, why do they have a left lane if you're not allowed to drive in it?

[InfiniteChaos2]

Ha. I wonder as well.

[DannyRobles00001]

It's a new law implemented late last year. The left lane is only supposed to be used for passing slower cars in the right lane.

[mcat0789]

Thats how it is here in Minnesota, but when there is a left lane, i always use it.

[officialravenzoe]

YOU JUST GOT HIT BY A SEMI. BAIII

[splicegrrl]

danny is a good friend to you, and you are a good boyfriend for going all that way and risking life and limb to help kasey move. glad you didn't die.

[dorkestranerd]

Honestly, I'm sort of secretly in love with Danny. Except its not much of a secret now, is it? ;)

We'd be perfect for each other. I wouldn't have to change my last name. Lol

Very entertaining video!

[l300l30]

O.O

[dorkestranerd]

@l300l30 Haha. Shocking?

[KTentacles]

aaaaaaaah this was very... informative.

note to self: be careful on road trips.

sorry it was so dumb!!

[raechaosface]

I agree. Driving while it snows feels like warp speed!!!

[cheezyiguana]

I would take your moral to heart Michael, but then I would be stuck in my house for 7 months of the year :)

[lukeconard]

#/Ab

[lukeconard]

I love me a great road trip. Glad you made it safe, but you just got hit by a semi - BYE.

Oh, and is that a FL Sytrus Tibetron I hear @ 1:07 I do believe so.

[jennyjesseisloislane]

"I'm thirsty."

"Drink some snow."

awesome. great video sir.

[aalllxx]

@xXJeshikaXchanXx it should be only for passing

[suchducks]

that was a lot more exciting than i though t it was going to be.

[NerdsForTheWin]

Am I the only one who thinks Michael's vlogs are much better than Stefan's?

[Vaati227]

the adventure! the excitement! who knew new mexico was so perilous

[SeekingMyGr8Perhaps]

Wtf. That cop is an ass. He just abused his power and pulled you over hoping he would find something because you are two young men from Cali.

[xXJeshikaXchanXx]

Driving in the left lane is illegal in NM?

What's the thought behind that?

[DannyRobles00001]

Apparently, the left lane is only supposed to be used to pass slower vehicles, but a bunch of people were doing it. I theorized that he pulled us over because we had California license plates and wouldn't stay in New Mexico to fight the ticket.

[xXJeshikaXchanXx]

That's really jerkish. If I ever have plans to go to New Mexico, I'll keep this in mind. >:/

[wheezywaiter]

thanks for the crotch shot, dude!

[thepeteris]

Is there a part two? There's still the return trip...

I can't take the suspense!

[nowhereme]

was there a place called Terrible in the background at one point? classy

[essiefromhere]

What's the point of having a left lane if it's illegal to drive in it?

[shadling21]

Mac Snack Wrap...

Did you like it?

I hope not.

Because it's gross.

[Fundippsoyeah]

Weather just decided that it was going to hate on you because now it's back to normal. You pretty much got the worst of it.

[TheDevCamExperience]

Your hair looks like a unicorn.

S'iight though.

[WrittenInDork]

Don't you just love when people throw trash around trash cans rather than in them? People these days.

[randomabuserofsanity]

By hours you mean days, right?

[tasallou]

Loved the video Michael!

I was sad when it ended.

[tellab17]

wow that is an amazing story...nothing that exciting ever happens to me.

[Mathematician2]

I had an experience a lot like this on Christmas Eve. We were heading up to my Grandmother's house in Oklahoma during what just happened to be the worst snowstorm in the history of Oklahoma o_o...

So we got stopped at a hotel in Gainesville, TX and I basically missed Christmas morning...but when we finally got to my Grandmother's house, I got a crapload of Nerdfighter gear, so I was happy, overall. :D

=Nerdfighter Math

[TheVlogSister]

This video smells like roadtrip like no tomorrow. Love iiiit<3

Beautiful scenery too...

It's also strange to see this kind of weather down south. I mean, I'm up in Canada and we haven't had it this bad yet.

[girlsknow]

you just got hit by a semi, bye!

[fivecolours1]

pretty awesome story for a "stupid roadtrip" haha - glad you guys made it out in one piece!

[togetherbutlonely]

I also crashed my car in the snow! It was really scary!

[RedVolly]

glad you didn't die....snow is fun unless you have to drive in it...

What!? A ticket for driving in the left lane?!?? I grew up in New Mexico and have NEVER heard of that...weird...maybe the same town police officer didn't like the CA plates? Was jealous cause you guys have sun and he was dealing w/ crappy snow/rain weather...I think that police man needs to go on a vacation!?

[orangetree4]

haha thats kind of an awesome story!

[CoveredByRegret]

EPIC

[mKe197975]

Gorgeous weather :D I'm a bit mental and I like driving in the snow :D

Tomorrow morning I'm actually going on a 600 miles trip and the weather should be snowy :D Here in the wild east it the roads really get snowy :D

Great roadtrip !

[TweadleDeda]

I don't understand how you aren't more popular on youtube haha

[UnculturedProject]

I'm regretting suggesting that you trim this down from its original 15 minutes.

[SunscorchX]

Curse you, Shawn.

[RedVolly]

@SunscorchX Shawn rules! Never curses to him!! NEVER!!

[SunscorchX]

'Cept now =P

[greenlillies]

when you opened the window i thought there was some creeper outside your window. but that was you.

[unknownzomibie]

Now you're just being picky xD...

aweoms vid ^_^

[JellyBeanQueenX]

'now mother natures just making fun of us -___-' best tone of voice evar! hah

more videos like this please :D

[Maruchiinu]

why did i write second i hate when people do that xD why did i do it myself

[Maruchiinu]

second i hope

[iman12692]

That snack wrap sounds pretty grodie.

But you should still marry me, Michael Aranda!

[michaelaranda]

Can't; I only marry people who like snack wraps.

[iman12692]

I like snack wraps, just not grodie ones.

[michaelaranda]

I only marry people who like grodie ones.

[iman12692]

D: I'm you're biggest fan! I'll follow you until you love me!

[ImCrashBandicute]

LMFAO

[okasey]

I think you should back off, Miss Iman.

[iman12692]

Are you looking for your beeswax? Because I don't think any of it is over here. :P

[okasey]

Are you looking for your self-importance? Oh, never mind, you've already got it.

[iman12692]

Woah, I totally wasn't looking for a fight. So let's let this be and go make sandwiches. Or un-grodie wraps.

[okasey]

I'll pass on the sandwiches. ;)

[SunscorchX]

I always find this kind of exchange very anticlimactic when they end amicably...

Personally, I prefer the hunting-down-and-eye-gouging finish.

But maybe that's just me ^_^

[iman12692]

Yeah, it is kind of dissatisfying. But internet fighting makes a person look like a twat, and a twat I am not.

[TheVlogSister]

okasey is michael's gf.

Her beeswax is allll over that place you just reffered to, methinks...

[iman12692]

I know, I've figured that out by now. Now everyone back off? I recall saying that I wasn't looking for a fight.

[TheVlogSister]

Ooch - I wasn't aware that you were aware.
