    I decided it would be a good idea to drive to every Rainforest Cafe in North America. You shouldn't be surprised this is on brand for me. Thanks to my buddy @EddyBurback for joining me on this trip, and check out his video if you haven't seen it yet!

      I find this video to be in poor taste because rain is apart of the word rainforest and is related to the word water. You know what else is related to water - rivers. Do you know what’s happening as we speak? People are falling into the river in Lego city, but you don’t care you just maintain the status quo by continuing to eat jungle fries. Shame on you

    This short film has further reinforced the dynamic of an awkward family road trip, with Eddy playing the role of the pessimistic, divorced father taking his starry-eyed son Ted on a road trip across the States to every Rainforest Cafe. The acting was so good at certain points that it almost seemed like the emotions were real... fantastic work by the cast and crew.

    Buccees actually started when a guy thought “Hey, what if gas stations had nice bathrooms?” And then he built a gas station that became incredibly popular because the bathroom was clean
    Then he thought “What if everything else about gas stations didn’t suck?” And so he expanded his brand, gave his gas station chain a mascot, and just started selling anything and everything he could think people could ever want from a gas station and made it all high quality
    And that’s the story of Buccees!

    Haha, this actually reminds me of a funny story about Ted Nivison and the Rainforest Cafe! A couple years back, I was actually at a Rainforest Cafe with my family and I saw none other than Ted Nivison! Being the huge fan that I was, I thought it might be nice to get a picture with him or something, so I decided to approach him and say hi. As soon as I was about to open my mouth though, Ted shushed me and said, "Do you really think you have the RIGHT to talk to ME? Do you know who I am?" He then grabbed my arm and snapped it in two, watching me writhe in agony as I fell to the ground. He took some of the ornamental plates they had at the Cafe and smashed them over my head. He then took some of the plastic toys of dart frogs and other rainforest animals and shoved them down my throat. Finally, he pulled out his trusty hammer and snapped both of my knees in two. He swore to me, "If I EVER see your stupid face again, you'll face the TRUE wrath of the Kneebreaker..." Classic Ted!

    I love this video. My sister and my niece (6yo) are currently on a roadtrip vacation, and when I found out they were visiting in-laws in Katy TX for a few days, I remembered this vid and I told them that they're in a city with an RFC, and they gave it a shot!
    My niece absolutely loved it (she loves animals, nature, and french fries, so you can imagine who had lots of SAFARI FRIES), and wants to come back! When I called to see how they were doing, despite all my niece had seen, the highlight to her trip was the RFC.
    We may joke about it, but this place is truly magical to children.
    Oh yeah, also my sister thought it was pretty nice and now brother-in-law is dreading visiting his parents, because he knows that from now on he has to take his daughter to the RFC every time they go.

    Its jokes are funny and fresh, the "plot" of the vid doesnt get old and you are always 100% all-ears invested in everything that happens because of the pure light hearted, boredom killing, scenic adventure that you are witnessing from someone actually do.

    I remember meeting ted on this journey and what a lovely time it was. Eddy was sobbing, chained to the table while ted took photos of every fish they had at the location in ontario. When I approached Ted to say hello his smile fell and he stared at me dead-eyed and breathing violently through his nostrils. By the time I exited the restaurant Ted was long gone, along with Eddie who was still chained up. As I was walking to the bus stop to go home, I heard a car start up and I turned around just in time to see Ted in the drivers seat, grinning from ear to ear, right before he ran me over with his 2002 toyota tacoma in the color forest green. Such a pleasure to finally meet Ted Nivison and to be able to watch his adventures from my hospital bed!

    There used to be a rainforest Cafe in New Hampshire and when I was little it was just about the most magical place on earth to me. Ted, from the select few of us that have been able to experience the rainforest Cafe in its prime we would like to thank you for this nostalgic magnum opus of a UA-cam video

    as a texan, i think that watching saving private ryan at full blast at a midas at 7:30am is the most texan thing i have heard besides going to bucee's. how they managed to get through so much of the state and never went to one until florida is astounding

    The only thing that could make Eddy's video of absolute devastation and suffering through something so incredibly needless and stupid, is this, Ted's video of unbridled joy and enthusiasm like an overjoyed youthful child experiencing his favorite thing over and over again without a hint of it getting old or less pleasing to experience, these two are the yin and yang of youtube and their existence together is perfect harmony.
    Never change, either of you, I love it

    hey ted, I don’t think better help is something you want to be promoting. theres been concerns about them using deceiving business practices and not vetting their therapists properly, therapists on the app will often take the money and ghost you, be unprofessional, share your personal convos and data, be shady af and not actually be licensed. There’s also been a lot of reports of therapists being rude/discriminatory and downplaying peoples trauma. just be careful.
