I feel like I should win Jet Lag because I found y'all with no trackers whatsoever? -John
Wait, that's illegal
Legend
omg john that's why you left comments! It's such a beautiful coincidence. Best cameo ever.
Haha I feel like that is fair!
I agree
I love how Adam's curse of no phone actually made him do better, since no one knew what he was doing or where he was going
He didn't even know where **he** was going
The curses and veto penalties are really not so bad, at least in a big city. They really make your moves harder to interpret.
Yeah, so far both "curse" cards have in a a way helped those who had them - Sam didn't blunder into a trap at Dunkirk forcing him to stay back and do more challenges, thereby leaving him with more budget and less embarrassment, and Adam managed to use it to evade capture for far longer than he probably should have been able to.
I'm not sure. His walking was unpredictable, sure, but getting to the train station that far in advance and with a slow mode of transportation got him caught.
He mentioned a "tracking phone" around the 5:20 mark (he was talking about still having signal in the station so he wasn't cheating and making it harder to see where he was) which makes me feel like it's a separate device that's being tracked and that card doesn't actually affect his ability to be followed?
I can't even comprehend the CHANCES of finding John Green not only in the same place, but time, street, intersection, everything, AND being able to spot them, then have the ability to be heard while stopped at the right time and be filming... Wow
@Joanna Y’all are talking about two different things lmao
@@breck1637 pretty sure it’s a bot that stole someone’s comment
Who is John Green?
No idea. Was wondering the same thing.@@alaska2026
@@alaska2026 he’s an author and he also is the host of some of the CrashCourse youtube videos (they saved my ass in high school). hope this helps!
I love how the whole time they thought Adam was masterminding some crazy plan but in actually he was mostly screwed over and confused
The same thing happened when Sam got cursed - the chasers were smart and predicted what he WANTED to do...and then confounded when he never follows through, and assumed he'd pulled some master ploy.
Sam above all should have considered 'did Adam get screwed over by a curse card or something?' when he seemed to not be acting as they predicted.
John being in this video is absolutely unbelievable
hi good nice
Nice
Great video
Nice
Good good master
To anyone wondering, the old French lady was asking him what he was filming for. She seems so sweet bless her soul🥺
Thanks, I was wondering.
I caught the word "quoi" and inferred the general meaning.
Yup, from what I can hear she says “ l’équipement, c’est quoi?”
She was a Karen
How did you get top comment with 2 different comments on the same video
Adam outplaying himself by bringing a disguise then not using it while getting off the train was so sad yet so hilarious to watch
I wouldn't say it is hilarious it was very maddening to see such a good once in a lifetime idea get screwed up like that. Would've probably won him the game or at least created very funny content of Ben and Sam being confused. Probably more stressful to watch than Ben and Adam's rental car breaking down during the connect 4 challenge at the most crucial moment.
It was infuriating that he didn’t use the disguise and may have one 😂
And also carrying it in his hand so they could see it, preventing him from using it the next time around 😔
I feel like it was part of the script so that it would be easier for them to catch him.
@@nihatboydas4479 Jet Lag isn't scripted as far as I know
12:05 I like how he says "That's like the dumbest thing we've ever come up with." with the confidence of a man who didn't vomit up half digested pastries after running a track mile.
I feel like, next season, the rule needs to be NO WORKING OUT.
Sam's strat: Plan to go in the opposite direction that they would expect to earn lots of points.
Adam's strat: Bring a disguise, play hide and seek.
Ben's strat: Run away fast.
Halfway through the episode and I am LOVING this format. The chasers tricking themselves into jumping on a random train while Adam was just stranded at the station fiddling with his ticket was so hilarious.
The John Green cameo was the best thing that could've ever happened. Please get him and Hank to be on Jet Lag!!!
Yes
John and Hank versus Sam, Ben, and Adam? Or Sam + 1 Green versus Ben and Adam + 1 Green?
Edit: I can't decide which I'd prefer to see. Splitting the Greens could bring out some competitiveness. But having them together on their own team could bring some wonderful sibling chaos.
+
@@jafrazer I guess that means they'll have to do 2 seasons!
@@jafrazer Yo... Sam and (someone else) vs. Ben and Adam vs. The Greens would probably be impractical but also lit
I feel like a lot of Adam's problems came from him misinterpreting the curse card. The card only said he couldn't do research with his phone. It even specifically said that it could be used to verify challenges and for accounting. So he could've used it for the mile challenge and for calling his bank.
Yeah, he really didn't show his brightest side in this episode
He also could have played it safe at Massey and put the wig and hat back on to further bamboozle them
@@Kokurorokuko it was probably a stressful challenge and he just misread the card. Can't blame him.
@MDMajor Exactly!!
I was about to say this, if it really was no phone allowed period it makes the challenge SO much more difficult. I feel like there should have been exceptions explicitly written out for stuff like accounting/checking in with your bank to make sure you can even continue the game. Otherwise it’s no fun to catch a sitting duck.
Maybe you didn't find Adam until Massy, but you found John Green in Paris instead and that's what counts! And then being rewarded when you did find Adam at Massy with being on Google Street View wrapped this episode up so perfectly. A chef's kiss episode
+
Hello mr Kim. Can I have a Nuke?
I saw tou on a drew durnil video
I like how there assuming Adam has this great big plan and Adam is just like, “Wow I hope this train is going in the right direction”
As someone living in paris, there was nothing as stressfull as seeing Adam pointing toward the direction where Sam and Ben would be coming from....
I didn't even know that since it was not explained! Ah man, it really wasn't meant to be then haha. He absolutely lost his chances the day before.
I think him not wearing his disguise at the end was even more stressful to watch. It hurts to see a very genius plan get totally screwed up.
After this episode I feel the best strategy for this game is to randomly change your plan and go somewhere weird
Sam got stuck in Calais.
@@qwertyTRiG That is because of a curse card
@@dhanvanthkarthik1777 But without the curse card he wouldve just walked right into the arms of the chasers. His best move was staying there and waiting out the ferry like he did
But it costs coins
@@dhanvanthkarthik1777 But the reason he was in Calais in the first place was weird.
The John Green cameo was INSANE!!!
I know right?!
IKRR
Why did you have to spoil it? Top comment which I couldn't even hide from on mobile
@@josh_final watch vid before then
Hardly insane, calm down
22:45 Sam’s superpower is that once he opens an app, he instantly absorbs all of its associated information
Fr it is impressive
Adam revealing a disguise: Sometimes my genius is...it's almost frightening
Also Adam: *doesn't put on the wig when leaving the train at Massy*
I was really rooting him on too because I felt bad. And if he knew the RER B took half the time it takes the C to get to Massy-Palaiseau, he would've beaten them there. Though I think the RER would count as low-speed rather than a metro, considering the RER is a commuter rail network. It's like saying the Long Island Railroad is a metro because it has stations within NYC.
it's like he forgot that they could track him
this is literally the most exciting channel on youtube for me right now
True
Facts
I love how Adam is like "uhh sorry I don't speak French" and "sandwitch sign" but Sam is here speaking fluent French and ordering food
I don't think sam speaks fluent french..
Seeing Adam not wearing his full disguise at that train station at the end made me mad. Like a perfectly genius plan that he totally blew it. That plan only would've worked once, but now Ben and Sam know about it, it will be hard to pull that off again. Wouldn't it be so much more entertaining to see properly how Sam and Ben would've reacted.
John Green cameo at 3:00 is a pizzamas miracle
+
Who is he?
@@leonardopadilha4144 he invented the internet. And wrote a bunch of books for teenage girls. Only 1.5 of those things is true.
@@jasonremy1627 such a genius!
+
Man, I am heartbroken for Adam, I thought he was gonna do it, I thought he'd be unnoticed with the disguise or maybe at Orly he'd find a more direct train by accident. That phone curse was probably the most brutal card to pull, especially as Adam speaks no French. Kinda feel like it could have reset during the rest period?
Almost would worth it to go out of Paris...randomly
I thought it said you COULD use it for accounting. Would that not include calling his bank?
@@Desperoro yeah, getting to Rennes can't be that hard right?
@@timturriff3823 Yeah that confused me, too. Adam just committed to either the curse or the rest period a little too hard lmao
@@timturriff3823 I would even consider that an emergency.
I feel like Adam could've made some way better decisions in this episode. From misinterpreting the phone card to not putting back on his wig before getting off of the train. I was rooting for Adam too 😭
You’re literally one of the UA-cam channels that provides proper subtitles. Thank you. (I’m deaf) so this is very helpful
tom scott too! check out his tom scott plus channel where the jetlag team collaborated with him :) hope u enjoy!
Just absolutely love Adam on this show and in all of the other seasons. He always goes extra and he's so competitive and entertaining to watch that I'm rooting for him every time! Hoping to see more Adam in future seasons!
Same. Really like his spirit and competitiveness. For example I don't think he would have given up and simply wait to be caught in Calais like Sam in the previous episode.
Suggestion for a future cursed card: Have to change your phone language to the country you are in (for example: if in France, have to change your phone to French)
they did that in capture the flag across japan
The volume and passion with which I was yelling at Adam to put his disguise back on at the end was something else.
adam without a phone was so unpredictable it honestly helped him. What a W
John being in this video is absolutely unbelievable but also makes so much sense. Love it !
I discovered this series literally 2 hours ago, and finished episode 2 just as this video was published.
Watch seasons 1 and 2
@@someperson3883 and Crime Spree on Nebula!
me too!!
I've watched all their videos expect across 4 so.... Sad :(
I will do it tho
Adam: I'm a genius I'm bringing a disguise.
Also Adam: I'm not gonna wear 90% of the disguise in the place where I'm most likely to get caught.
I was so paranoid that Adam didn't put on his wig and mask at the end. I thought he was gonna win, he did really great! And that John Green cameo wow :O
This episode had John Green Cameo and being end up on google street view by pure chance. Damn these series is amazing
I was looking on street view for them, but I don't think they made it onto there. The coverage for the street that the car was on is from when it went the other way, so sadly, no Jet Lag on Street View.
@@shadowrayTV they made it, in a nearby side street you can see the bench where they sat and them on Street View.
@@shadowrayTV As others have pointed out they are there. If you want a link the reddit comments thread (over on the nebula subreddit for this episode - be careful dont view next weeks spoilers) has a link to them. You have to zoom in quite far as its not visible directly in front of the station
@@elmerp k
@@toms2oo8 I found the exact intersection they were sitting at, but I cant see them sitting there.
I love Adam's disguise. I want that to be his signature look. From now on, every season of Jet Lag should start with Adam in a wig and a green football jersey.
I went and checked the street view after the end. And on street view the area where you would be able to be seen, it chooses the other side of the road from either earlier or later on, but only for the area where you guys would have been spotted. You can go on that side, but as soon as it gets to the area you are standing it switches to the side closer, then as it passes the wall it goes back to the other side. I swear they did that on purpose.
yeah i couldn't find them either :(
Yeah that spot where the car was, theres a capture in September 2022, and one in March 2022. The video released in September but I doubt thats when they filmed. But I also don't think it was filmed as far back as March either. So looks like that car wasn't filming, sadly.
really appreciate the accessibility effort in providing color-coded closed captions. this show is amazing, i'm always smiling like a doofus while watching!!
These cards need to be published so you can play over a day in a city.
Honestly the cards need to be published so I can look up the wording freely instead of having to pause the video and zoom back every so often.
Last season they linked to a list of all the challenges, but it looks like they didn't do it this time. I would have liked to see it.
@@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721 they could still do it after the season is finished
The great thing about this series is that I’m so happy if absolutely anyone wins :)
Totally! It's really hard to root for anyone specifically!
I’m just cheering on not Sam tbh
@@ChrisHockman why not Sam? I really like him
@@the_swest I feel like the other two are the underdogs, and Sam is their boss, I'm all for employees getting one over their boss.
I kinda want Adam to win
John Green showing up out of nowhere is absolutely hilarious
Public transport in Europe is so amazing. And look at how nice and walkable and cycle-able everything is!
@@yahoolix No shock here. The infrastructure of the countries are significantly different so it makes sense.
@@yahoolix yeah it’s not surprising.
@@thomasstevenhebert well yea I was stupid, obviously you would be pretty aware of the world at large, if you are the type of person to watch wendover and his other channels. I wonder about like the average American tho...
@@yahoolix I mean its going to be not much different than the average Europeans understanding of North America. There will be some, but a lot of it is tempered by false narratives and a lack of understanding.
I mean how many discussions about trains hold Europe as the paradigm, but lack to show Europes focus on passenger at the detriment of freight. The US is the inverse with much greater utilization of freight than Europe. The infrastructure just has different focuses, but many Europeans will only focus on the moving of people.
@@thomasstevenhebert yea, makes sense, but I actually do have an idea about that difference. If I’m correct the US moves like 25 - 30% more freight by rail or something?
Loved this episode! Glad this season doesn't end here!
SPOILERS
Adam's game of going to a suburban station and catching the TGV from there was absolutely the right move instead of getting caught up in Montparnasse quagmire, but wow, Sam is an absolute train genius! Does he look at RER schedules all the time or something (Also, I don't think Adam figured out how the RER schedule codes work)
Adam had NO idea how the RER schedule codes work. He didn't even realize he was going the right way.
Yes! I found this channel yesterday and watched the first two parts of tag across Europe. This will definitely keep me entertained during the hurricane.
defnitly give the other series also a watch allthough imho this one is the best so far
Sam's face at 3:30
Someone please calculate the odds of that John Green encounter. Such a delightful moment.
i crunched the nunbers and the odds came out as a fuckton to one
Ironically, something only Hank Green would be able to calculate.
@@bungaIowbill repeating
Two to the power of 276,709 to one against.
Which must mean that Sam attended the right party recently.
John Green could have been anywhere in the universe. There are infinite points in the universe. Therefore, the probability of that encounter was zero.
DRAMA! You guys have really outdone yourselves and that is saying something. I was genuinely on the edge of my seat. Thank you so much for all the work you put in to create some amazing content for my hump day treat. Thank you.
God damn that was a journey and a half!
All I wanted was for Adam to tell them he couldn't use internet and vetoed two cards. That would have gotten an ooooooooh
What makes the John green appearance even more baffling for me is I definitely went to that cafe in the background like 7 years ago
This editing is godlike for a UA-cam series! If someone showed me a few clips of this (Particularly the parts that show the little animations, like with the coins and stuff.) before I watched it and told me it was on Disney+ or Netflix, I'd probably believe them. I mean, this editing is more impressive than PBG Hardcore! Great work! Side note: I've also noticed that Valiskibum (Mr. TV Show News himself) is in this comment section! That just about proves that you guys are good!
This channel is literally a blessing, its so exciting and i cant wait for the next episodes!
The best disguises are ones you can stay in all the time lol
27:37 Wig on bro, this is when you are at your most vulnerable
When Sam says 'the best episode weve filmed' and the whole disguise thing doesnt pan out I felt deflated lmao
Man i really like travelling, and also i love planning and logistics overall, this is for me like the best content i have ever seen on youtube, keep it up guys!
Adam played so well this episode, he wasted so much of Ben and Sam's time even without a phone in one of the largest cities in continental Europe!
Also yeah Ben is f**ked. Haven't seen Episode 4 yet but am not confident.
He wasted so much of their time while, well, wasting his own. So it doesn't really matter.
@@Kokurorokuko they have two full days left, so it doesn’t really matter yet
I don't want to spoil anything, but I'll just that episode 4 is flames
@@JasonBentrosnowqube I saw it since I commented, can confirm I was on edge the whole episode lol
@@finnrummygaming oh wow! yeah it was stressful watching it tbh XD
this is filmed like an actual tv show and i love it
Adams disguise was such a good idea, shame he almost never wore it lmfao
Seems like being overconfident is a big weakness in this game. Should have been wearing the disguise to be safe (even though it may not have mattered.) I think this channel is about to blow up even more then it already is. I absolutely love what they are doing. Something so different and so entertaining with some amazing editing
You guys have made the best series ever... i wish more people made things like this
plot twist: john green has a tracker on all three of them…
Turns out, the real game was being played by John.
Loving this series so much
The fact he was able to be so close yet so far for so long is amusing
Found this channel today, and it was 100% what I needed.
The background of the shot around 7:45 is so beautiful! Love these series you guys do.
Me screaming at Adam to put his hat and mask on before getting off the train!
Great episode guys. Can’t believe how lucky Adam was when it came to the massive tracker zone, even though he was probably no more than ten feet away
Man, Adam left half of the disguise off exactly when he needed it the most.
This is some of the highest effort content on UA-cam. You guys are doing great!
I just found this channel and think their content and editing is AMAZING
I’m so irrationally frustrated that he didn’t put the full disguise on, and therefore burned the usefulness of what would could have a master play. Leaving just half of the disguise on is the worst possible move bc it exposes the disguise without actually getting any benefit
For that disguise, you are still my hero, Adam :)
Too bad you assumed safety, I would have loved footage of you walking past them without them noticing xD
JOHN GREEN?? Out of nowhere? This makes so happy, wow.
I just want to let yall know that this is by far my favorite channel lately and every single time a new game comes out I get excited. I've been watching over on Nebula so I can watch the latest every time I can. Thank you for the content!!!!
I like how John Green was just so like "meh happens all the time"
When you've been in the UA-cam business for fifteen years, there's nothing left to surprise you.
I just started on the first episode not even finished with it and you guys drop a new episode 😂
Same but with the 3rd episode!
22:45 I love how he opens twitter by default XD
I just discovered this, and it's my favorite show now. Addicting as hell-been binging every episode
This is some of the best content on UA-cam! Love you guys ❤
i lowkey feel so bad for adam he was so close to greatness
In case you're wondering about 31:26. They made it to Street View
I tried to look at that intersection and can't find them
Where at? I looked at every spot in that intersection and couldn't find them
they are not there
As far as i could tell they didn't. Seems like google took the data from a car going in opposite direction at that intersection. It's even marked september 2022 so it might even be the same day but they're not there
Commenting to boost engagement and trend higher so this can be a profitable, long-lasting series
I love noticing the strangers in the background give the camera weird looks
I've been thinking of subscribing to Nebula for years. Is it weird that the show which finally got me to do it is one that comes out only a week later on UA-cam?
Don't forget to watch Crime Spree if you do! Jet Lag's season 0 was insane
I did and its so worth it
@@mt_xing Watched Crime Spree last night. And yes, it was excellent. (And had a really good ending.)
I've been wanting to sign up for years now but they still only accept credit cards in the bundle deal (that I want) :/
@@FiresideMoon47 yea I also signed up lol. No regret!
34:02 you sadly did not make the Google street view :( checked the exact location and all 2022 dates but none to be seen
This has been an epic series so far! Can't wait to see what happens!
Sam is actually a genius for working out the Massy plan, thats insanely clever tbh
Honestly kinda unfair that the hunters can just hop in an uber with no penalty. They can both travel much faster than the runner and know where the runner is at all times.
There should be some sort of "hunters' budget" or they should be confined to just public transit or something
It is restricted. I can't remember the details from the previous episode, but it was something like journeys of no more than 30 minutes, no more than once per two hours.
Just watched the first two, let's go!
Fkn same bro
4:51 bro out here playing the snack zone theme
I would love a jet lag where John and Hank Green are put on different teams and have to JetLag against eachother
These People Are AMAZING At Entertaining Us!!!
Adam handicapped himself so much by forgetting that the "no phone" curse had exceptions, such as when a challenge requires it. I'd also totally give him the call to his bank to unblock his card, banks are frauds themselves :D
I was yelling at the screen for Adam to but the wig back on & bring back the trash bag
yesss!!!! i love this series :)
So do i
Same
9:14 - Ah yes, sunshine at 7:30 PM in the Northern Hemisphere. Beautiful.
Thanks for the video, Sam, Ben, & Adam!
Sam: has Duolingo plus on his phone
Everyone: *I see you are a man of culture as well*
Even with the curse card prohibiting phone usage, I think it would've been a fair exception to allow him to call his bank. If he really wanted to stick with it, surely he could've called his bank from the hotel.
The no phone curse is wayyy too powerful in this case. Nothing like using a tote bag lmfao
I've found this channel about a week ago and I have to say that the concept is really fun. I did notice the production value for the episodes were good especially because the channel seemed to be fairly new, at the same time I had also recognized Sam's voice from somewhere but only fully got it when I looked in the description. To finish this off, I wanna say: keep up the quality content, you all, it's been fun so far :)
This is more compelling than most big budget television programs
