First Day on Route 66 - The Bean - Green Chicago River - Wally's Great American Roadtrip

[@tommylundy2495]

Having a monitor displaying drinks on a fridge door is pretty dystopian. You'd think that upgrade in tech would atleast show you when the fridge is empty but it's just..a screen. Wild time to be alive

[@Lipbuzz]

The virtual screens at Walgreens have cameras in them and are tracking what you look at, which doors you open, etc. So they’re gathering data, and they can display more targeted ads.

[@perceivedvelocity9914]

I'm not shocked that a local has never visited "the Bean". I grew up in a suburb of Seattle and have never gone up in the Space Needle. That's the kind of thing that tourist do.

[@frankcarey9567]

He grew up in Valparaiso IN, I definitely wouldn't call that local.

[@meilangston4431]

Its so cool to still see you traveling after all these years! I have been watching since almost the start and can say your channel has gotten me through some really hard times. Your channel showed me a whole new wold in my own country. More recently gave me the ability to enjoy the outside during the pandemic. Thank you so much !

I Love Route 66. There can never be too many videos about the Mother Road!!!

".........Hey yo!" Thanks for shouting out Scott Hall. Safe travels.

Once you reach the west coast this trip, you should really head up north to the Redwood National Parks. They have the largest trees in the world! Some of them are so massive you can drive your car right through the center. Plus there are tons of other things to see and film up there. It'd definitely be worth your time.

Love seeing Route 66. A place I will never get to see in person, so I will see it via you! Sadly Scott Hall passed away shortly after being taken off life support. RIP Scott Oliver Hall.

Another Great Adventure today. I Really Loved that Metal Shiny Bean.

All your Food looked Really Tasty Too.
Looking forward to Tomorrow.
I'm Excited About the Upcoming 5th Carpetbagger Pin. Have A Good nights Rest Jacob and Thank you Again

[@XxItalianVampPrinces]

I held back tears all day yesterday after learning about Scott Hall's passing. I grew up watching him in WWF with my dad and now that he has been called to paradise it's like my childhood has been chipped away more.

[@MrTomv69]

I've never been to the US, but watching your videos have really been so insightful and interesting really. I'm from the UK and never had a chance to go there either but always wanted to do a huge road trip, and all these videos are amazing to watch from that point of view. Thank you so much for everything you do on the channel.

[@rockthecashba]

Man Jacob you've got some mighty strong hands as you made the man of steel wobble there...

Good afternoon Jacob, yeah we start a new journey. Greatings from your German fans 👍 🇺🇸 🇩🇪

Much love. We got you. Rip Scott Hall. Please take care of yourself and be safe.

Imma be honest. I felt like crap this morning but when I watched this and heard Transworld was just around the corner, I perked up and got happy again. Finally something to look forward to!

[@CrystalNibarger]

Hey it's the silver Bean. I went there about almost 10 years ago to visit a former friend and he took me out there it was pretty cool actually like the wall of clear bricks with the waterfall on it

[@alliekuma4234]

The Superman part killed me lol So excited for this! Losing Scott Hall really is sad.

A second Wally's just opened up near route 66 just outside of St.Louis!

Oh good shaving. Thought the World's smallest alligator at Wally's got you.

Loved the bean sculpture and the surreal weird effect when you walked underneath it! The food you sampled made my mouth water 😍 I'd love to try those soda drinks and especially the orange sloosh! 🍊🥤Thanks Jacob and best wishes ☀️

It's always been a bucketlist trip for me to travel 66, renting or buying and Old American Land yacht and just cruising along like they did back then, mind you I'd probably need a boat of cargo plane just for the souvenirs alone.
Talking of shaving it might be worth checking if Angel Delgadillo is around his Barbershop, he's an important part of 66s preservation and while he wont be doing the shaving anymore he mght be able to give you a tale or two.

[@michaellitchfield850]

First of all, great video and I can't wait to see what you find on the road. Second, if I had to guess, the screen on the drink coolers as a replacement for clear glass is to keep drinks colder with less power. A lot of the cold is transferred through the glass and an insulated door with a screen is easier to maintain temp. But that's just a guess, don't take my word for it. Lol

[@blackandwhitegamingproduct7356]

Did you know, the bean was designed by a very hated artist within the art world? His name is Anish Kapoor, and he created Vantablack, or has the rights to be the only one allowed to use Vantablack to the point that Stuart Semple created his own black pigment titled Black 2.0 and the only stipulation on being able to purchase it, or use it, is that by buying it, you are saying you are indeed not Anish Kapoor. He ended up getting his hands on it anyways, so that Stuart Semple made Black 3.0 which is even darker. He’s also made the worlds pinkest pink, the worlds most reflective pigment, and a few other pigments.

[@headrushindi]

Of course I noticed that even our Host the carpetbagger did not seem to fully research his trip, because it appears that even he did not "get" the pop cultural significance of the gas station named "Wally's" on a road called " Holiday Road" with a station wagon out front. If you did understand the Literal references Mr carpetbagger, you did not make direct reference to the fact that these of course all come from the iconic 1983 National Lampoon film "Vacation" , starring Chevy Chase. The Griswalds of course touring across country in the station wagon, The legendary song " Holiday Road" sung by Lidsay Buckingham of Fleetwood Mac, while they fought their way through their own ineptness to their final destination Wally World.
