Watching this in March of 2020 while being forced to stay home due to the Coronavirus. When they said they were close to Wuhan was pretty neat. Crazy that 7 years later a worldwide pandemic would start there.
In July 2019 the Bio research lab at Fort Detrick, Maryland was ordered by the CDC to shut down due to “failures in handling the dangerous pathogens inside” and “fears of escape”..Fort Detrick has continued defensive research into deadly pathogens, including the Ebola virus, Swine Flu, Bat CoronaViruses and the highly toxic poison ricin. During the same month of Fort Detrick’s Shutdown, Clusters of an unknown respiratory illness appeared in nursing homes in Northern Virginia, with hospitalizations and deaths. At the same time, CDC reported several clusters of “Vaping Sickness” in the USA, that involved xray images of “ground glass opacity” in the lungs, similar to Covid 19 symptoms. Wuhan military games took place in October of 2019, with 9800 athletes from 110 countries, including Americans. Maatje Benassi, an armed diplomatic driver and cyclist who was in Wuhan for the 2019 Military World Games, has been identified as Patient Zero of the outbreak in Wuhan. She and another female officer how worked at Fort Detrick had allegedly visited Wuhan’s famous wildlife market and other sites. Research by Cambridge virologist, Peter Forster shows the Covid 19 virus has mutated into 3 distinct strains Type A, B and C. Type A, which is the original strain of the Virus, is found mainly among the infected in USA, Canada and Australia. Wuhan outbreak was primarily caused by Type B. Thus, the virus had mutated from Type A to Type B was brought there by the foreigners during the Wuhan games.
@@johanfretzen1852 There are Dozens of Bio Labs around the world, that are funded or partners with the US gov't in pathogen research, including the bio lab in Wuhan, which was funded by Ecco Health Alliance from NY, which in turn gets money from US NIH. In October of 2019, Wuhan hosted a major Mlitary Olympics, with close to 10,000 athletes from 110 countries, including American military officers/athletes. Same month the Lab in Fort Detrick was shutdown, 2 clusters of Respiratory illnesses were found in Northern Virginia.
@@_Wai_Wai_ the u.s. warned that same lab in China that they were not following protocol. Furthermore to keep the lab from accidentally releasing any viruses the u.s. decided to donate and fund the lab in order to have better safety protocols at the lab. So that no viruses were released. U.s. intelligence informed the u.s. of this when the u.s. informed the government not China they would not listen. So the u.s. funded the lab in order to take control of protocol because they knew if they didn't the lab would likely release disieses
Honestly I didn’t like David at first, but after binge watching all 3 seasons, I have to say I’ve definitely changed my mind. They’re all great. Taking life as it comes and living our dreams is a rare occurrence today and I have to say it’s refreshing to see something on UA-cam not shot in someone’s living room studio
When I'm lost travelling, I get out the map of a city or town and look for a street name. When he's lost travelling, he gets out a fucking world map and looks for a country or state. haha, 'ahh, ok where are we guys?' *folds out a world map*. lol.
@@muhilan8540he was but it doesn't matter. You can do it with a couple grand comfortably but please Don't do it out a penny because you will have a very harsh Time.
I am watching this after seeing the Joe Rogan podcast and am also at home during the COVID-19 outbreak. It's crazy that he went to Wuhan China back in 2010. I hope David Choe starts podcasting again.
trust me! if you're hitchhiking then going somewhere because it's a squiggly line is the best idea because you have no expectations at all and you are open to everything!
@@aphysique Oh man! i hope not! haha i was living in the asian pacific areas so I like how Japan korea and china are used to wearing masks a lot. americans are not taught that big crowds prone to spreading sickness and just being around a lot of people breathing the same air in crowds is not healthy.
Well he's a famous artist who has a ton of hitchhiking experience and IT WAS HIS IDEA, he contacted Vice for the first season and they said yes. The other seasons were made because so many people loved the first one,
the fact that they have the Challenger 2 inflatable boat is funny lol I have that same boat at my cabin. I am also pretty sure that toy gun is one I used to have as a kid. the sound of the gun gave me instant nostalgia lmao
Well, it's not 2024 yet. But a word from the future to the past, strange times are upon you. Wuhan will mean something to every person in the world in 2020. Cheers from the 2020.
Wow this is still so relevant in 2026. But seriously Vice, bring back Thumbs Up? It's over 6 years old and is still the best thing you guys ever produced and David/Harry are still the best hosts
that fight at the ned between harry and the pimp wasfucking sick. what aepic fight harry was losing at first then he ended the fight ontop with ground and pound ufc would be proud
Yes it's called Yangtse Incident, my uncle Jack French was portrayed in the movie by character actor Ray Jackson and the star role was played by Richard Todd.
its all from the same angel therefore one camera man. The cuts are to different moments in the fight not different shots of the same moment. The fight has been cut down so it fits in the show.
I wanna make a HUGE thumbs up to vice for providing us with this thing wich is absolutely unique on youtube for its authenticity (i can't stant those youg internet celebrities going on a 15000 bucks trip financed by whatever company for advertising) and awesomeness, i think Choe is an awesome guy and i would love to go on a trip with him anytime leaving the rest behind for a month or two, THUMBS UP AMERICA, THUMBS UP VICE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Oz Wuhan is just a city that happened to house the virology lab in which the virus was released. It would kind of be like saying it’s dangerous going to New York because of September 11th 2001.
It's pretty obvious that is a real fight if you ask me, most real fights look like this, it's not a Hollywood movie or boxing match so I don't know what many of you are expecting.
You obviously have never rode train train that goes across it. The russian federation has a special task force for fishing dead bodies from Siberia. If i'm not mistaken some of the bodies are perfectly preserved because of the frost! google ync and search it (if you can handle blood and gore)
I don't understand why people bitch so much about the "fake" scenes. Who gives a fuck, it's a great series and it's super entertaining. We should appreciate it for just that :) Great job Vice!
Right...none of this shit is contrived at all. In a country of 1.6 billion, there are NO actors to be found. And Harry beating up a pimp? Are you guys seriously that naive?
It wasn't cutting to different "angles" it was footage of a fight that probably lasted longer than the 30 seconds they showed, probably the most exciting parts other than the inevitable grappling, wrestling that happens when a fight gets taken to the ground. I do concede though that the sound effects were most likely fake, added in post production to heighten the drama...it was probably a lot less intense than they made it seem but that doesn't mean it was staged. Editing ≠ staging.
yeah the easiest way to tell if its fake is by watching the punches, all open handed and slaps i didn't see a closed fist connect with someone face one time in the whole fight

WHY did I ACTUALLY Get Sad when Stephanie Left lol 😭😭😭
😂💯
We want more David Choe & Harry Kim Vice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
harry only says like 5 things every season
he needs only dance
Its kind of a Jay and Silent bob style. It keeps all characters dynamic because the interaction between characters isn't always predictable.
Harry the LIBERATO, free9ng prostitutes worldwide!!!!!!
He's such a character I love him
pretty much
I got a serious nostalgia rush when David fired the toy gun at the dog. Wow.
+Amin El I almost lost it
Yea the sound of the gun takes me back
Same I had few of them when I was kid
Harry is my hero "I wanna go this way, I like the squiggle"
you must have never been in a warm beach
Read this as he said it. Sweet.
What a fucking Chad
man at first, I thought it was david fighting harry for ditching them.
lol me tooo
Same
Honestly lmao
Me too at first. Well till he told us different.
Harry is always up for adventures lmao
it might be partially scripted but this show is so fantastic and I'm a little sad to start this last chapter...
This trio give off a really friendly vibe and atmosphere.
dude that's the first time ever you showed us the cameraman @ 12:05.
btw, love the river trip you've had. from mississipppi river to yangtze river.
Nah, in Part 2 you could see his reflection in a car window.
@@over00lordunknown12 I forget what episode but they visit a home and you can see him in a mirror too
That gun's noises, nostalgia.
Wuhan would never be the same...
So true... lol
It’s one of the biggest cities in China, so there’s more it’s known by in China than just the Wuhan Virology Institute
I like how when he got caught trying to catch dem geese they were speaking in 2 different languages but the conversation made perfect sense
They actually found an adult with Harry’s same haircut
Must have lost a bet. "Bro, now you gotta look like a BABY!"
"Harry is like the Filipino Michael J Fox" made me cry. David is so genuine.
When I'm lost travelling, I get out the map of a city or town and look for a street name. When he's lost travelling, he gets out a fucking world map and looks for a country or state. haha, 'ahh, ok where are we guys?' *folds out a world map*. lol.
i had that toy as a kid, no joke. Woke up alot to it going off
David is doing exctly what id be doing if i had a deep bank account and free time.
I don’t think he was rich when they filmed this
@@muhilan8540he was but it doesn't matter. You can do it with a couple grand comfortably but please Don't do it out a penny because you will have a very harsh Time.
I actually like Stephanie in this one haha she complimented their duo dynamic 😋
Funny trio

Looking back on this from 2020 👀 “ squiggly line to Wuhan”
trust me! if you're hitchhiking then going somewhere because it's a squiggly line is the best idea because you have no expectations at all and you are open to everything!
C'MON, IF THAT WAS LEGIT...
Then when have you EVER seen a REAL fight where they dont punch, or even aim at each other's face??? LOL
9:42 they go to wuhan! oh damn.
Now we know ..David Chow started Covid... Foooker

I would still go visit lol

Harry is a real hero.
Real human bean.
HARRY FOUND HIS BROTHER FINALLY
Harry’s like the “Filipino Michael J.Fox”😂 Thumbs up from the philippines!👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 Your show will thrive here man!
the fact that they have the Challenger 2 inflatable boat is funny lol I have that same boat at my cabin. I am also pretty sure that toy gun is one I used to have as a kid. the sound of the gun gave me instant nostalgia lmao
"ZANG ZOWWWW" -- just when i heard it, my face twisted up and shivers shot down my spine. I almost had to end the video right there.
Prime quarantine viewing
The squiggly line and wuhan conspiracy begins xD
It makes me so happy to know he’s ballin outta control now
Stephanie is a badass
Such and amazing series that shows off such diverse and crazy adventures around the country and world
Harry is a beast!!! Awesome show!!! Who's watching this in 2024?
Harry needs to stick up for himself. Who's watching this in 2023?
Well, it's not 2024 yet. But a word from the future to the past, strange times are upon you. Wuhan will mean something to every person in the world in 2020. Cheers from the 2020.
I watched this series in high school, thinking one day I was gonna do the same thing. Never happened lol. still looks like fun though
Still possible ✊🏾

Harry beating that pump up.. I usually can’t watch street fights when the dude gets punched when already KOd but this was satisfying.
Harry is always down to ride he should get his own spin off
Wow I just cried a little when Stephanie left. Did not see that coming.
Totally agree, I mean they have to accommodate the cameramen and their heavy equipment, they can't share rides on bikes and horsecarts
Wow this is still so relevant in 2026. But seriously Vice, bring back Thumbs Up? It's over 6 years old and is still the best thing you guys ever produced and David/Harry are still the best hosts

I used to have a challenger two, I lost it inbetween Bournemouth and the Isle of Wight
CrazyJoe did you see the who at the isle of wight when you lost it
unfortunately no
its all from the same angel therefore one camera man. The cuts are to different moments in the fight not different shots of the same moment. The fight has been cut down so it fits in the show.
Why is nobody talking about how disappointing it was when Stephanie had to leave

Wished he showed more of the art he painted in the video , he always had spray cans he did such more paintings but only showed a couple
What if Harry felt called by the squiggly line to get to Wuhan and stop the pandemic from ever happening but got distracted
Harry put on a nice throw down with that guy. 🤜🏻🤛🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
If you guys don't know, Harry speaks Chinese also. In episode 2 or 3 they changed clothes and Harry was being the translator
Best show on Vice for sure love David Choe and Harry his uncle cousins brothers nephew
shout out to Harry for throwing handz
Come on... it was for show... they just needed a translator after the other woman had to leave for some reason that wasn't mentioned.
That was fake

David Choe is a great artist. I love his shit.
if jay and silent bob. hunter s thompson and huckleberry finn all made a baby
He probably wasn't aware which is why the scene started with them fighting.
U shoulda screamed we're American to thosepole on the boat
I know right! !!
We Americans do dumb shit
No worries, i realized after i watched the episode that you didn't spoil it that much for me
24:34 was that a real fight or staged for drama?
Right...none of this shit is contrived at all. In a country of 1.6 billion, there are NO actors to be found. And Harry beating up a pimp? Are you guys seriously that naive?
14:28!!!! A forgotten memory
that break up was totally fake.
Jeff Powers No shit.
so are movies, but you still watch those right lol
So was that fight
True, the point was she had to go home.
I hath come from the future
It was in 1949 actually during the chinese civil war, I was always told it was during WWII by my family but it can't have been
I hated that girl but she grew on me.
