    You know what I really like about you Justin? In all of your videos, you are so enthusiastic and so happy about the simplest, coolest, most interesting (sometimes a little plain) things. You find great pleasure in things that other people very easily over look. Then you take all of these experiences and make them in to videos that practically paints your thoughts and emotions all over our computer screens, and in turn when we watch your videos, feel the same enthusiasm that you do. Never change who you are. I don't think I will ever stop watching your videos man. I hope I bump in to you some day at Disneyland (when I renew my pass)

    Justin, I really wish you had more viewers. Your videos are probably the most entertaining vlogs on UA-cam and you also educate.

    As a teacher, I applaud your desire to convince others to read! Also, I agree -- reading is reading, no matter what it is!

      One of the best I have heard in a long time. I learn something new about Justin with every video. I honestly do not know why he does not have more subscribers.

    I love Justin! He totally reminds me of Rob Dyrdek in this vid. Lol. Seems like a legitimately nice guy. I would love to have him come along on a Route 66 roadie with my buddies and I.

  • @marydx589
    @marydx589 8 років тому +5

    Where do I begin??!!
    You had me laughing from beginning to end! Your Marlon Brando was spot on!(and don't let nobody tell ya otherwise) I totally get the whole closet door thing lol. For me, I would have closed it and put something heavy in front of it though👻
    Your adventures (and Adams) are causing my bucket list to get longer with each vlog lol. Kudos for the message about getting kids to read! A book can take you anywhere you wanna go. I'm lucky that my kids love to read and they are also big fans of history and museums. Don't know where they got that from 🤔 hehehe😉
    My biggest dream is to someday be able to take my kids to Disneyland. Now that you have shown them (and me too) how cool Route 66 is, and since we live in Kansas, I think it would be most appropriate to take Route 66 when we go! That way, half the fun will be going there and coming back.
    Thanks for the awesome adventures Justin!!

    The "gun" bit was SO funny - man ... I had to replay that ... you are such an entertainer Justin! Top marks - and the Marlon Brando part was fun as well ... "You coulda been a contender. You coulda been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what you are, let's face it." - On the Waterfront

      @noradennis4361 8 років тому +4

      eRiQ Quaadgras: He cracked me up. And you are right. He is quite the entertainer. Makes me want to go up and experience everything he did for myself. I live in Arizona(Phoenix)so it's not all that far for me to go. I'd love to stay at
      The El Trovatore motel too.

    I agree with your 5 star 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 assessment of El TRI store Motel!! It is totally awesome, from the signage, the neon night view is sweet, the room had everything necessary for today I an old fashioned she'll, which was an awesome authentic experience, with the comforts of today!!! What a great find!!! Attaboys to the owners for their wonderful renovations, n for you Justin, for daring to try the classics on the road!!!

      Once again the bloody computer on the phone thinks it's correcting me when it's always wrong!! I dig the fact that it is the El Trovetore Motel. It took ,3 tries to get the phone to accept my spelling. Smart Phone?! I think NOT!!!

    My wife and I are staying at the El Trovatore tonight because of your recommendation. What a place!! Nice clean rooms. Wonderfully themed. Really feels like you’re living a small piece of history.
    Sam (the owner) and his wife are exceptionally nice and gracious. Sam talked to us for about 40 minutes about 66, the motel, movie stars, and recommended an awesome steakhouse down the street. He also had a bunch of cool things to say about you. 😜
    Thanks for turning us on to wonderful stuff like this. Love your videos.

    Justin, you do the most fantastic job of making the best videos. I especially love you travelling on ole Route 66 again, just so over the top cool, wish I was there.

    Your videos are great mate! :-) I love how into the whole Route 66 thing you are! Me too. I love those sign designs too. They're a real slice of Americana to which certified Americophiles such as myself can totally relate! By the way, here in the UK, we still call motorway gas stations "service stations". Weeeeeird!

Yet, didn't have the opportunity to stop at all the places along the way.. So, following You I have a chance to see the ones I missed & reminded of the ones I did see..

    Reading is so essential to life! Can’t tell you how many livestreams I’ve seen where the streamer struggles to read and understand the chats! Sometimes I wonder if they even know they have a problem!
    Love your videos Justin! This ending was hilarious. Your Marlon Brando impression was spot-on!
    I live in Tulsa a few blocks from Route 66! My family and I are big fans of Route 66, Pops, Blue Whale, Cars, Michael Wallis, Dawn Welch of Rock Cafe, etc.

    Great stuff! So funny and also informative. Loved every minute and laughed out loud like 20 times AT LEAST (maybe more)! Hilarious creepy mannequins in awesome Ash Fork (I've never seen that museum- now I must go to there)! Sensational Seligman! (too bad you can't have a butterscotch malt from the Snow Cap- they're exceptional). And El Trovatore in Kingman looks so cool! Thanks for the tour! We're adding it to our list. PS: I also never unpack my suitcase into the drawers.

    I never use the drawers, but I always use the stick your luggage on it thingy, which is the best.

    Good thing to add to the first aid kit is plain green tea bags. Make 1/2 a cup of hot tea, then when cool enough, a warm compress for eyes. Just wring the tea bag out and apply.

    Justin, another FANTASTIC vlog! You had me smiling from start to finish! I will be moving to Hawai'i in a couple of years but before I do I want to go down the part of route 66 that is in Arizona and maybe in California as well. Maybe take a couple of weeks to experience the old mother road. I love places chock full of history. And kudos for encouraging children to read. I LOVE books, especially history, have since I was knee high to a grasshopper. :) When I was a child you could usually find me outside with my nose in a book, inside with my nose in a book, on a rainy day with my nose in a book. :) The only time I really watched television was on Saturday mornings watching cartoons and then it was either outside playing cowboys and indians, damsel in distress or my nose was buried in a book like The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (always had a soft spot for Tom, I'd pretend I was Becky Thatcher LOL) or a book of fairy tales. :) Don't you just love those sudden downpours in Arizona? I've had it rain in my backyard but be sunny in my front yard. As you would say: Weeeeird. :D

    • @bettyluckey9497
      @bettyluckey9497 8 років тому

    Thanks for a great and amusing review. We're driving back east in October and I was planning on taking I40, I will try to stay at The Trovatore. The bathtub was probably sealed off because they waste a lot of water and there has been a drought for a few years. The cigarette burn marks on the night stands shows what a classy joint that it.

    I like that you're encouraging kids to read. Of course, it's possible to learn to like reading as an adult, but you are definitely right that it is easier as a child, and I would add that it's more beneficial to their development. I could list countless books I read as a child that influenced me as an adult.

    I gotta get out there on Route 66 too! I love old Motels, the older and funkier the better!
    When I would go to Vegas I liked staying at the Somerset House Motel on convention center drive . It was built in 1963.
    The lamps, tables, art, seemed all to be the original stuff from the 60's?! And the place was clean too! It was right across the street from the Debbie Rynolds hotel & casino! Also closed.... =( and now it's the Greek Isles Hotel... anyway, my friends would wanna stay at the fanciest hotels they could and I would be happy as a clam at the Somerset House.
    Loved the Marlon Brando impersonation ha ha ha... =) You got a million of um don't you Justin? ;)
    Nice to see you are so prepared for your road trips. I think somebody gifted you the first aid kit and flashlight if I'm correct?
    That person must really care about you and never wanna see anything bad ever happen to you =)
