@@tiyenin "Sinful opinions" I can only guess which generation you hail from if a "sinful opinion" is a thing. Grey spoke facts. Yes, Hawaii is filled to the brim with insects and spiders. Yes, resorts are much different from rural Hawaii. No, Grey does not like Hawaii.

Live on Kauai. Can confirm, resort Hawaii and Real Hawaii are like two different worlds. Also yes, the massive cane spiders are scary, but they won’t hurt you. The real terrors are the centipedes. Also the roaches as big as geckos aren’t mentioned here, so i feel it’s my duty to mention them for him.
Live on Oahu, can confirm. Geckos aren’t bad themselves, as they eat the bugs; however if they start to spend time anywhere, they poop a lot. My house is mostly bug and gecko free, because like CGP Grey says I spend a lot of time and effort making sure of that, my garage is like 80% junk I need to get rid of, 15% gecko poop and 5% bugs the geckos haven’t turned into poop yet. And can confirm the centipedes are by far the worst. 6 inch long venomous armored things that you need to hit with a shovel to kill.
This is the best description of Hawaii I’ve ever heard. I love this because I have family on Hawaii and they told me I need to spend half my trip in “resort” Hawaii then I can stay with them. And the difference blew me away. Mad respect to anyone who lives there.
I have a friend who lived in hawaii when they were smol because millitary kid. I suspect the housing they had was like Resort hawaii in that the bugs were not really a problem. Plus they were smol so the bugs werne't their concern.
I appreciate your appreciation and the level of detail and research, at the same time as feeling all the hairs on every part of my body standing on end!
Growing up I collected magazines about invertebrates called "Bugs". Anyway I also loved the spiders and was happy to see I recognized one or two in this video
I love how when Myke grabs the frame around 2:39 and talks directly to the UA-cam audience, the red progress bar in the video is pretty much exactly where the real youtube progress bar actually is too, Very nice touch, well done HM Boutet!

All of the spiders shown while Grey sends Myke pictures are direct references to magic art. The cards referenced are, in order: Canopy Spider (original Tempest art) Deadly Recluse Snarespinner (original WAR art) Hatchery Spider

I come back to this video whenever scandinavian winter gets to me and I yearn for “better” climates. We northeners think we want the tropics but we do not. We want a Swedish summer that lasts all year.
As the anti grey (I grew up in maui and moved to new york.) I can confirm, the spiders are a fact of life, when he mentioned spiders the size of your fist i didn't squeem, i just and a memory of my porch. Grey, I feel you
Of all episodes that deserved an entire extra, extra-length Animated - yep, this one. Awesome work hmboutet (also, as an Aussie - from the city, even - yeah nah this sounds perfectly fine what's the problem??)
Totaly, so glad this got the extended length director's cut version. I think Aussies would be right at home in Hawaii, we're pretty comfortable dealing with "the nature".
Also an Aussie - it's a lot of what you are used to. I know how to deal with my local nature - I would probably be useless in Hawaii. I have two specific species of spider I'm worried about and then it's just the snakes. The more dangerous spider is mostly found outside and builds a very distinctive web that I know to look for. Wear gloves when doing yard work or don't put your hands anywhere they might be hiding. The snakes are mostly found in bushland and for the most part will flee if they hear you coming. So make alot of noise and wear thick shoes and jeans when walking through bushland. Try to avoid long grass.
I 100% believe that Myke’s expressions in this video were the ones he was having irl. It’s like they took the facial mo-cap masks from Avatar and put it on Myke’s face for this.
You described my childhood visiting my grandparents in rural Texas. I camped for a week in Hawaii and saw far fewer bugs than I did as a kid. No spider problems at all. BUT I completely believe you. I used to wave my arms wildly as a child to avoid running face-first into spider webs. In. Texas.
As a coastal Texan, I fully understand this. I have had to, on multiple occasions, fight to make sure snakes do not get in my house. Spiders, centipedes, and scorpions are also problems, but nothing is as burned into my memory as the one time I found three very venomous snakes, each over a foot long, coiled together and thrashing like crazy directly between me and my car. I could do with less actively trying to kill me nature. Iceland sounds nice. Less giant snakes, less all kinds of insects, and if a volcano kills me I would consider it an honorable death.
I agree. Granted, Utah doesn't have much of "the nature" on account of being a desert, but still, the thought of anything smaller than me killing me is terrifying. Like, a volcano erupts, you accept it. But a little punk*ss spider killing you for standing on your OWN LAWN is just disgraceful. Bullets are similar. This tiny hunk of metal kills me? Unacceptable, I will be speaking to life's manager. A broadsword swung by my arch-nemesis? Beautiful. Sagas will be written about our rivalry. When it comes to death, size matters and The Nature is at the bottom
@@adrianthoroughgood1191 those are borderline, on the plus side they are both fearsome predators, stronger and faster than any human, and truly worthy foes. On the other hand, Sharks are just overgrown fish who try to look intimidating with all their extra teeth, and bears are so fluffy and dumb that we based stuffed animals on them, so it's based on the situation for those two
I haven’t seen them in a while as the area around me fills in, but it was a rule growing up that you could never leave the door open because rattlesnakes could get in. Maybe other snakes too, but they were the main concern.😂
@@bobthegamingtaco6073 can't say I would appreciate getting shredded by the claws of a bear or getting half my body sawn off by a sharks teeth, but I like your thinking. The unlikely-hood of the arch-nemesis and his sword makes it even more tempting.
Listening to this part of the episode, I couldn't help but be giddy and hopeful for an excellent Animated version of this. This surpassed any expectation I could've had, Cheers!
My wife and I did a bike trip down the volcano in Maui and afterward, in a van on the way back to the resort, saw a cane spider that had to have been at least 5 inches leg-to-leg, briskly jaunt up the van door (while it was moving). 5 minutes later we reached our hotel and were obviously reluctant to leave the van! Oh, we also saw a centipede at least 6 inches while stopping though the Road to Hana. Still the best vacation of my life.
Actually, the chickens really help keep the bug population down! When we go to Hawaii (once a year or so to visit family) I used to ALWAYS see bugs. When we went last year and again this year, I didn't see one roach or spider or centipede around Waikiki. LOTS of chickens though. So.Many.Chickens ....and one f*ing rooster who thought 4am was an appropriate time to loudly Cock his Doodle outside our hotel.
This is typical of tourist destinations. I used to live in a ski resort mountain town. Everyone who went to visit fell in love with the views, the mountains, the lakes, being away from the chaos of the big city, and all that. Living there day to day was an entirely different matter, though. Over the 14 years I lived there, I saw plenty of people, especially young couples, moving there hoping to live a fairy tale, only to move back to the big city perhaps 2 or 3 years later. Eventually, I moved back myself.
I had to go to Hawaii for work recently and I absolutely hated it. Only the second time I've been to a tropical spot and I'm only built for cold climates. Sticky is the best way to describe Hawaii.
This is by far my favorite non-real video now. I loved listening to it on Cortex and the animations made me able to listen to it anew again. Besides the you are two video, this is probably my favorite CGP Grey video ever 😆
Maybe it’s because I’m from tropical Acapulco but the heat and nature of Hawaii is a plus!! Spent 9 days in a van sleeping in different campsites and tents in Oahu. It truly is paradise! Feels and smells like home!
IMO real Hawaii is pretty great too, it's just not what people are thinking of when they think of vacationing there. It was a really nice place to grow up, for me.
@@MR-ym3hg oh for sure. No disrespect, I'd love to visit real Hawaii. I love the people, who are somehow chill and hustling at the same time. Just every place has their special native cretins that outsiders will not tolerate but the locals are chill about. Where I live it's rattlesnakes. But like you said, corporate interests have created an illusion of what Hawaii is
The only part that sounds great about Hawaii is the nature - sure, in that heat it is inconvenient to wear protective gear, but it's worth it for the cute crawlies
Virginia's spider problem reminds me a lot of Hawaii's actually, but yeah I kind of forgot about it between the humidity and centipedes. The geckos being everywhere was awesome as a 7 year old though.
I had to learn how to nagivate UA-cam frame by frame for this one. Mike Costanza couch, evil Bob Ross, and more...chef's kiss. Too funny. Best yet! P.s. I'll save you the Google... use comma and period on your keyboard to navigate frame by frame, particularly around the 0:20 mark. 🌶🌶🛋🛋🔥🔥
This reminds me of when I used to be a teacher in Hawaii. Student: "Uhhh, kumu ("teacher" in Hawaiian). I know you told me not to open the door...." Me: "Yeah.... so what happened." Student: "Sorry, I opened it and a bunch of centipedes ran into the classroom."
but how nice of those centipedes that they waited patiently at the door … did not climb on to the wall or through some cracks… well educated school cenitpedes… they maybe just were late from class :)
idk how I stumbled across this video but I 100% agree as a life long Maui resident hot and sticky are accurate descriptors. spiders are the least of your worries, centipedes are the true enemy.
Thanks for making this clip. I've been irked by spiders, sattlebacks, Larva and occasional ant like things in my home for the past 3 years (and other places I lived before that). But I'm thankful that my part of Canada Freezes over for 5-7 months of the year killing anything truly deadly.
🇻🇮 Caribbean Kid here… and yes… centipedes are the worst. Never have a bed skirt for them to crawl up. In fact, there are things like drink coasters you can put the feet of the bed in, then fill with DE diatomaceous earth. Bug spray is called Caribbean Cologne. Monthly spray of Ortho Home Defense spray (both interior and exterior) around the building, doorways, windows, and corners of rooms. Fans keep the mosquitoes away from legs. And carry liquid Benadryl gel in your vehicle for use regularly. Pretty easy!
@@MR-ym3hg the cost if living is sky high and getting worse, jobs don't pay enough, drugs are a rampant problem and crime is terrible to boot. On top of all that the government is inept and useless.
Don't deprive yourself! Nothing wrong with not liking it. But Gray is way exaggerating things. I've gone many times and hiked many miles and it's just awesome in every way. It is hot and humid though.
Great animations. Lived in Hawaiʻi for 4 years and can confirm, yet I still loved it and think every day about moving back. There is also "cute nature" that can enter the house, like geckos and chameleons. 🦎
I live in a similar place in the "nature sense", the ceiling of my room is always covered in spiders but i see it as a good thing cuz they often snare the scorpions

I was wondering why this gem of a topic got such a light treatment in the last video. This was worth the wait!
I saw more chickens than I saw people on the island of Kawaii. Now I'm terrified to think about how many webs I unknowingly walked through...
Actually, the chickens really help keep the bug population down! When we go to Hawaii (once a year or so to visit family) I used to ALWAYS see bugs. When we went last year and again this year, I didn't see one roach or spider or centipede around Waikiki. LOTS of chickens though. So.Many.Chickens ....and one f*ing rooster who thought 4am was an appropriate time to loudly Cock his Doodle outside our hotel.
I laughed when I heard this on the podcast, and laughed harder seeing it here. Perfect execution!
The expressions as The Nature drags them out of frame are just sublime.
Details! I love how when Myke breaks the fourth wall, the video timeline matches the exact timeline. Perfect.
That was indeed a moment of brilliance. One of many.
I feel like I'm covered in tiny spiders now and the itchy, creepy, crawling, feeling is working overtime.

as someone who grew up in rural Australia I deeply understand Grey's observations here
Why did I watch this right before bed?
Didn't know what to expect, but that was pretty awesome.
I needed this. Thank you!
Wow! I'm never going back to Hawaii... I went when I was 15 and I'm so glad I mostly stayed in the spiderless places
Thanks for making this clip. I've been irked by spiders, sattlebacks, Larva and occasional ant like things in my home for the past 3 years (and other places I lived before that).
But I'm thankful that my part of Canada Freezes over for 5-7 months of the year killing anything truly deadly.
This was probably my favorite episode I've watched so far.
I love that Gray is canonically a machine.
As I lived in hawaii for the majority of my childhood, I can completely agree
The Ungoliant on the mountain at the end is a fun touch :D
The spider enthusiast in me wants to go to Hawaii even more now.
Oh the cow at the end!!!!
I remember that my family would always burn centipedes because their blood would attract even more centipedes.
The chaos is amazing
1:02 MOTHER OF GOD ITS A DANG NIGHTMARE FUEL NATURE.
🇻🇮 Caribbean Kid here… and yes… centipedes are the worst. Never have a bed skirt for them to crawl up. In fact, there are things like drink coasters you can put the feet of the bed in, then fill with DE diatomaceous earth. Bug spray is called Caribbean Cologne. Monthly spray of Ortho Home Defense spray (both interior and exterior) around the building, doorways, windows, and corners of rooms. Fans keep the mosquitoes away from legs. And carry liquid Benadryl gel in your vehicle for use regularly. Pretty easy!
Of course, all things in life require regular maintenance.
Life finds a way. (Nature in and we manage ways to keep them out. We each find a way.)
love the harvest moon cow
I want a video of Grey feeding apples to the cows.
Best Cortex animated yet, absolutely brilliant
I was born and raised on Hawaii and recently fled from there withy family. "The nature" is only the beginning, trust me.
If you don't mind me asking, what were the other reasons to leave? My family and I moved away before I was an adult so I have a skewed perspective.
@@MR-ym3hg the cost if living is sky high and getting worse, jobs don't pay enough, drugs are a rampant problem and crime is terrible to boot. On top of all that the government is inept and useless.
This was great, many thanks
Hawai'i has always been on my list of places to visit. Now, maybe not so much.
Don't deprive yourself! Nothing wrong with not liking it. But Gray is way exaggerating things. I've gone many times and hiked many miles and it's just awesome in every way. It is hot and humid though.
Great animations. Lived in Hawaiʻi for 4 years and can confirm, yet I still loved it and think every day about moving back. There is also "cute nature" that can enter the house, like geckos and chameleons. 🦎
I live in a similar place in the "nature sense", the ceiling of my room is always covered in spiders but i see it as a good thing cuz they often snare the scorpions
I know what I saw 0:20

Oh my 🤭

@@Friendship1nmillion The sheer amount of emojis used in that sentence gave me a stroke
The fist size spiders with webs made of steel were a thing I had to deal with the two years I lived in East Texas. It was awful.
I live in Australia, and Hawaii and it's wildlife definitely felt like a holiday that's for sure. I love Hawaii
🇦🇺 as an Australian I’m laughing my arse off 🇦🇺
Wow. This is simply fantastic.
As a local, yeah I'm waaay more concerned with centipedes than a little silly spider.
