Chapters
I've been having a really crazy problem recently. Watch, when I tie this shoe, it does not stay tied. Look, see, look, I just tied it and it's not staying tight. And I think I know why. This is a map of America. This is where we currently are. I think our state just isn't good for tying shoes. All right, so here's what we're going to do. Chris, take this shoe. So you have that shoe. You're going to go boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, and tie it in all those states. I'm going to drive and go boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, tie it in those states. And we're going to find which state it works for tying shoes.
I'm not sure that's how that works.
I don't care, go! Okay, bye! Bye! Darn it! This state doesn't work either. On to the next one. We're coming up on Georgia, we're like 7 hours in. Stay posted, Jake Paulers. We are right on the border of Georgia. We're basically in Georgia right here. Drove through South Carolina. You know what that means. Whoo! I think this one might actually work. I'm pretty excited, I think it worked.
Not again!
What's the next state? Alabama?
We're over Florida right now.
We seriously cannot move our leg.
Wait, wait, I think— oh, what? Where's the sign? Oh, hey, hey, that says Tennessee. Hell yeah, boys! I think I got it. Hey Jimmy, where are we, man? We're in Chattanooga. Stopping at a hotel. Hell yeah. Alright boys, hopefully this state works. Feel pretty good about this state. I think it might actually work. Not again.
We just landed here in Louisiana. Now it's time. Currently we are flying over the Arkansas and Tennessee border, so I'm gonna tie this shoe twice. There's one.
There's two.
Chris is asleep. We're over Kentucky now.
Boom.
So that is for Kentucky. Apparently you can't tie your shoe and keep it tied in Kentucky. Chris is still sleeping. As you can see, we are now coming into Wisconsin. Here we are in Michigan.
Why does your shoe keep coming untied?
I don't know, maybe one day we'll figure it out.
Alright guys, we just pumped some gas. Yeah, we still got a lot of ways to go.
Hell yeah, boys! We're in Alabama!
Alabama!
All right guys, we're here at Alabama. Let's give it a try. Yo! Oh man, my shoe's untied. What's the next state? I keep forgetting. According to my assistant, Tennessee is next. Hopefully it'll work there. Dude, why didn't we take one of those? Dude, actually, we should cross America on one of those. Oh hey Beast, I think I found your street here. Third Avenue? No, man, look over there.
Gang Iowa. I figured we'd take our shoes on a nice lunch. At least you tried first.
Having a hard time?
Alright, there you go. Alright, we're flying to Texas and this is gonna be a long boy. We're gonna hit all the states in a minute. It's gonna be a heckin'— Thanks, who's talking?

All right guys, you know we're not ones to quit. We're gonna give Kentucky a try. As you can see, you know, I believe in you, Kentucky. I think it'll stay tied. Not again! You gotta be kidding me.
What? There's the mountains of Texas.
This Indiana.
Hey, be quiet, copyrighted music. All right, boys, we're at Indiana. It's been a long and treacherous journey, but I think— what state are we in? Indiana. I think Indiana is— Indiana's a state. I think Indiana is the one that will work. Yeah, sorry, sleep deprived. All right, hopefully Indiana doesn't suck. Uh, they do.
Bad at all.
And then you just start up there to say we are in Ohio boys, we're gonna find the Paul brothers and write a diss track. Alright guys, we are currently in Ohio. We're at the very southernmost tip. Literally, its dick is hanging out and we're right at the tip of Ohio's dick and we're gonna tie my shoe. Whoo, I'm feeling really confident about Ohio. You know, the Paul brothers are from here. Their shoes always look tight. I think they'll prob— man, I'm even a Jake Pauler. Why Ohio? West Virginia.
