We do this every single day, 7 days a week. Hope you guys are out there working hard, being pioneers, being wagoners. Wagoneers, welcome to the vlog! One of the cool things in Tel Aviv is they have fresh juice on the street. We're gonna get some. My man, what's your name? Bed. Bed is gonna hook us up with the freshest juice in the game. Bed, what you got? Pomegranate for sure. We're gonna let you spice it up. How about you recommend us?

Alright, here we go, here we go. Alright guys, here we go. Purple and orange, just like the phone packing colors. I'm gonna go orange. Guys, one sip, everyone knows the rules. That is the best, probably the best juice I've had in Jerusalem. Oh my God, it's like sweet but it's not too sweet. It's refreshing, it's hydrating. I'm getting a lot of taste, all up in my— this is crazy.

Can you cut up a mango? Is it possible to cut a mango? But you can't just like cut it to eat it? But what about this thing? To eat it.

Content all day.

Those are American dollars.

Wait, I think I have 5.

I'm so sorry.

Okay, I'm gonna give you 20.

No, because now I'm getting a mango.

How much is that? Uh, 10, 25, 30, 35. Oh wait, I have exactly 35 right now.

Can you cut it?

That's 35, right? Yeah, yeah. Now I have— that was just too much.

I apologize.

Sorry, but the juice is—

that's what they have, amazing juice and amazing coffee in Tel Aviv, guys, to be completely honest.

And they have crazy street art everywhere.

Hello!

Have you noticed the street art everywhere?

To be honest, the juice right here is so Taking a little break from the work to get juice, to get coffee. We're gonna time travel right now to the beach overlooking like the beach of Tel Aviv, okay?

[FOREIGN LANGUAGE] I don't know where we are right now. I don't know why I'm whispering either.

What is this? Is this like a city or is this like a museum? This is a street. Guys, this video is not doing this justice. This is completely dark, black, whatever you want to call it. Can't see anything.

Oh my God, I don't even know if you can see me. Ryan here, we're going on a serious trek right now.

All right, we made it out. I really have to get to a computer right now because it is 8 PM local time, which means it's only 1 PM Eastern time where the whole squad is, which means Everyone's gonna be getting back.

Oh my God, look at this!

[FOREIGN LANGUAGE] Sitting on the beach in Tel Aviv right now. I just posted up on my laptop. There's like free Wi-Fi here, so it's like working. I was just in Slack talking to a bunch of customers. I have a call with a customer in 10 minutes because it's 11:30 AM Eastern time is when the call is, and it's currently like 5:30 here. So there's a pretty big time— actually, I guess it's 6:30. Yeah, it's gonna be 6:30 here is when the call is. It's 6:15 right now, so we're gonna do that. Starting to get a bunch of international customers right now. I think because of a lot of the content, it's like on Medium and it's reaching more of like an international audience. So that's pretty cool. And it's also pretty cool being able to work from here with this view. I mean, like, this is just a gorgeous like sunset. It's like 7 o'clock PM local local time in Tel Aviv. Oh my God, the water. I just touched the water for the first time. It is freaking warm. All right, heading back to the apartment because it is about to be, I guess, 12 PM Eastern time, and then the rest of the day is packed with demos. Literally have like 6 more demos that I am going to do, so I got to go back and hardwire in. This is beautiful. What a day. So awesome here because you can have an entire day before Eastern hour, so it's like you can go all the way up until 4 PM, and then at 4 PM it's 9 AM Eastern time. This is Jerusalem, guys. I mean, if you're not Guys, if you're not vlogging Jerusalem, I mean, are you even a vlogger, bro? Wait, you want to do cardio? That's cardio. We're gonna go to— wait, you said the Western Wall? Like the legit Western Wall? I'm being 100% serious. I don't understand you. Just tell me why. Pretend there's not a camera. You got to act natural, like literally just continue to yell at me.

We're in the Old City, like going to the Western Wall.

I mean, like, wait, like the real Western Wall? Like, yeah.

Guys, by the way, it's 3:30 in the morning. It's not a single person out. Look at these streets. This is cool. This is really cool. I'm digging it. Oh my God, I called it to pull. Wow, where do you think this bike's from? Welcome, enter. It's like, isn't that the same thing? Welcome and enter. All right, let's go to the rooftop bar, huh? I don't understand like why you're so mad. I was just trying to figure out what you were— No, this is like super sick. Yo, look at that. That's so sick.

Guys, we're about to go into the Western Wall. Here we go.

This is so cool. It's like so much history. All right, so we just tried to go into this— I don't know what it is, I'm like really bad at history, so like please forgive me with all this— but we just tried to go over here, which I'm going in right now. And the men and the women can't go in at the same time, like they're separate. So I'm going in this other entrance over here. Haley just went in over there. I really should have read up History, because I feel really, really like dumb right now, but there's a lot of stuff going on in there. People are praying at the wall. There's just like so much history that's happening right now that it's probably pretty cool. It's like, just like feel a vibe. So we're going in right now. I don't know what that says. Oh, it's a prayer section. There's like not a single person out here.

I'm just trying to take it all in.

Hailey, can you tell us what just happened? What these sirens are?

They're like prayers over loudspeakers.

I don't know if you guys can hear that. There's like prayers over loudspeakers that like the Muslims like create, I guess, to like remind people to do prayer. And it's really loud. Listen. Like, do you hear that? It's being like, "Oh my God, this is nuts." Holy shit, there's so many of them.

Come on. This is actually like really, really, really cool. And the fact is, it is 4:37 in the morning. So we're literally the only people in here right now. Absolutely insane. He's going to be so ready. Oh my God, can you video this? Like, this is like Jesus is dope. Like, he's literally the best. Alright, so we're at the top of King David's Tomb right now because we're trying to watch the sunrise.

So we're climbing up these stairs and we're about to go and overlook Jerusalem for the sunrise.

Can you see that?

5:42 in the morning.

Oh, let's go!

It is like daytime. We're gonna go to the room where Jesus ate the Last Supper.

So this is gonna be pretty tight.

I think you need a key. Um, I think dinner's over. I guess it was the Last Supper. What is happening? Why's the guy got a machine gun? We're out here, guys. It's Team Noah. No sleep. We are going to the Dead Sea right now. We're gonna float in the Dead Sea. It is 7:50 in the morning and it is hot as shit. We're at Kalia Beach. It's the Dead Sea. Gonna float in the Dead Sea. Let's go.

Let's do that.

We can just go in because we keep coming to places when they're not open. We're big vloggers in the United States, real big vloggers. This is the Dead Sea. I was already down pretty much at the Dead Sea. Haley made me come back, gotta buy her some tickets. So I'm just like, why can't we have just bought the tickets on the way out? That is so crazy that this entire body of water is existing and nothing is inside of it, and there's no boats and there's no life. It's like actually blowing my mind right now. Just seems like a waste. Lowest bar in the world, -420. Swimming on the stomach is strictly prohibited. There's like construction equipment, like look at this knot Not sand, sand. So as you can see, we're out here at the Dead Sea right now, walking up to it. The ground is absolutely disgusting. It's like just weird hard clay, mud clay. I just don't understand who would like post up here and have a day at this beach. I'm gonna get my super cool shoes on, guys, and then we're gonna go in the water. We're gonna float. The Dead Sea is like the saltiest water, I think, like in the world. It's also, by the way, the lowest body of water in the entire world as well. That's why that cafe was called the Lowest Bar. Alright guys, it is the last day in Israel. I'm about to go back to New York. This was such an amazing trip. It was really cool to see just like different cultures and things like that. So I am going to— I'm not even gonna go to the airport, I'm not even gonna get on the plane. I'm just gonna do a time travel all the way back to New York City. It's gonna be Sunday morning when I go. Mayweather's already gonna have beat Conor McGregor in the fight, so we'll see you in New York. I'm gonna time travel there. Whoa, whoa, whoa, guys. Alright, that That was way easier than like flying and traveling. So now we're back at Techstars and we got a lot to catch up on 'cause we're behind right now but at least that time travel came. Did you just appear? I just came in from Israel. That was weird. That was weird. That was a crazy time travel. Way better than flying, guys. Way cheaper, way faster. You don't even have to do anything. I mean, you just gotta edit the video.
