@@DiscoverConnection This is what I like most about you and your activities. You really care about people, you do it sincerely and not just to make a video. Meeting people really not on camera after these videos is very cool, it underlines how important it is to you.
Asking to play a game of uno seems kinda genius to me, it shifts the focus half on the game and half on you, which kind of eases the pressure of having to keep the conversation alive, meeting people through playing games seems like a great idea.

I've never really been shy but always sort of waited for what I thought was a socially appropriate situation to talk to people but after watching his content I've realized that even if you will get rejected sometimes you can usually just walk right up and start chatting with people. The one where we got the girl to come to a party after knocking on her door was absolutely wild. Definitelly made me realize it's still worth it to try even in the randomesy situations.

The fact that you show you're still anxious to do it too, really, it's a wonderful thing you're doing here. This world needs people like you, perhaps more than most anything else.

For real, I would so do this if I could just overcome my social anxiety! And maybe get better social skills/things to talk about 😅
I'm gonna be honest, every time a stranger walked up to me and asked my name and shaked hands, I always get immediately suspicious. Because all the time they're either trying to sell me something or just straight up ask for money. I would never trust anyone to not have ulterior motives if they ask my phone number or invite me to their house for 'events'.

True, also as a woman you are more suspicious on people's intent in general. I like talking to strangers though but in controlled environment. I love hostels for that, you can approach people and chat to them so easily and the next thing you know, you have new friends and you end up doing things in a new city with them the next day.

Lol. This is how you miss opportunities though! They are trying to show you! I understand keeping yourself safe. I met my husband through a random friend of his. We were in the same Facebook photos as each other for months at concerts, but had never met, & were only 2 feet from one another. I asked his friends name & we connected (platonically). He introduced me to all his friends on like the first day hanging out, my husband being one of them, many years later on. If I hadn’t reached out to the random guy tagged in the same photos as me to become friends, I may have never met my guy! Just a happy way of saying, reach out if you have the feeling. “Seeking discomfort” doesn’t mean “ignore danger”. You’ll sense the difference. Good luck on branching out 😊

The difference and progress between the previous video and this video is massive. Once you quit trying to prepare what you're going to say to a stranger, the easier it is. But it isn't always easy. The people you joined most likely wouldn't have the stomach to do what you guys did in this video, so massive props. Love this content.
My boyfriend and I moved to Austin a little over a year ago and it has been pretty hard to make friends as adults. This has given me so much hope! Thank you for sharing! :)

@@pinksugaar I'm not any more. Already sured the social anxiety. But I beleive social anxiety evolved for some as an instinct to worry that others will judge, since thru history, someone in a tribe could get kicked out, and that would have often meant death

Honestly these videos mean a lot to me. I’m moving to a brand new area in a week, and it really does give me the confidence to go up to people and hopefully make some good friends! Edit: I completely neglected to update this for a while but yes I have met some very friendly people, to those who have asked. The city I live in has a bit of a reputation for being friendly which makes life easier, but either way, it goes to show that it is possible :) Edit 2: The city is Köln, Germany. I’m finding it doable even with a language barrier so theoretically it should be even easier with a common language

I'm here from SunnyV2; it's nice seeing people defy Vancouver's "No Fun City" reputation in such a wholesome way!
Let's goooo Christian & Brad! This shows just how simple it can be to make friends. Also love to see more uploads :)
Awesome video as always!🤩But am I the only one who was kind of dissapointed that Christian didn't go to the chess guy instead of Brad as he is also called Christian!😅That would have been so iconic and funny that when they introduce each other they would learn that they both have the same name!😂That would be soo good and such a coincidence!😆
I love your content! Really helps restore faith in humanity! Totally contradicts most of what you see online where everyone is so cold to strangers. Thank you for what you do, and putting good vibes into the universe!
I just rediscovered your channel and want to say thank you. I loved the unique ways that you were able to meet people and it is totally inspiring to me as I'm super introverted and shy. I think this video gave me the boost I needed to go outside and meet some new people. Thank you, seriously. Your videos are life changing. Please don't stop what you're doing.
My wife and I deeply appreciate you. Every episode you release is a joy to watch.
I absolutely love how you guys keep in touch with the people in your videos, you're actually out here making friends and getting to show people how easy that can be if they just put themselves out there a bit more, keep up the great stuff (Found ya from Sunnyv2 new video)
I love these videos, partly because I can relate. I've randomly joined people at parties, in parks, at events and more. It's such a great way to connect with people.
this was a dope video bro, it's always cool to see people be open to letting someone new join
So happy you're back ! Hope everyone is doing well! I always miss you guys!
I love this channel so much ❤ There’s something so beautiful about watching human connection and people experience life and new friendships
Great concept! The crazy stuff in other continents is fun too, but i think it's these "simple" things that anyone can do, that really show people how easy just asking can be :) keep it up
I've been in Austin my whole life but am 25 and just struggling in every aspect here now. It's awesome to see y'all enjoying Zilker, making friends, and spreading positivity, and the courage to make friends like that is inspiring. I like to go to zilker with my pup and always admire the many different groups participating in various activities but have never felt confident enough to approach. I am planning to relocate soon and am excited to try to take some similar approaches in a new city as I really have no connections to meet people through. Lovely content as always, keep it up!
Really enjoy these videos, takes a lot to put yourself out there now and days cause so many people are completely closed off, good on you for putting yourself out there for new experiences and meeting people brother.
Jeez, you guys are nailing it. Keep up the great work, each video is consistently awesome. Don't know can I have enough guts and do something like that in my country but it's definitely motivating. Appreciate your message to the world, love! ❤
wow with all the corruption and hate in this world i love how there's still people who are genuinely good and kind.
Makes me so happy watching your videos. So much love and positivity spread.
"Green! Blue. Malarckey. Are you serious!?" ... editing was on point!

Wow. Just thank you. It’s almost Christmas and I found your channel. Instead of spending it shopping I get to spend it with you. Seriously, I believe in what you’re doing so much.
Hey Brad and Christian! This was singularly one of the best pieces of content that I have seen all year. Christian is a great addition to your channel and comes across as just a super nice guy like yourself. Love how you approached everyone and everyone you encountered was just super nice. Seems like Austin is a very friendly place from what you shared. This content definitely is one where your audience feels great after watching. It was just seamless and positive with each person or group you encountered. Can't wait to see more quality content from you!!! You both have great energy together and compliment each other working as a team. I would also love to see more content as well with this exact same scenario!!

I just discovered your channel. I'm from spain, and specially in the south (andalucia, more specifically Cadiz) people are EXTREMELY approachable. You would never expect a weird look if you talk to a stranger. I think they are a model in terms of fighting this isolation culture.

This was wonderful guys. Well done. I always appreciate your content.
You guys are the goats. I myself am a very introverted person and when i watch yall content gives me power and courage to be more social. Keep doing your thing ❤

Brad, really glad to see you back and consistent. Both of your hitchhiking series touched me and helped me heal some trust wounds. You're doing great work! Christian is a great edition. Hope he becomes a more permanent installation. Keep up the grind and never give up, you're a making an impact in the world!

Man, this is really enlightning on how it is to approach people and make friends. I loved how you showed the chess board from above as the game progressed!
This makes me so happy. Truly the purpose of being human is to connect and yet it’s one the scariest things to do at times! Love that you smile in the face of fear ❤️
glad to see you back Brad! keep the vids coming :)
Brad, so glad to see a new video! Please keep it up!
I love this channel so much, I am chronically socially isolated and have been for a number of years due to mental and chronic illness and so this channel means a lot. It's so wholesome seeing you guys reach out to people and I am also a person who will push myself to do scary things, because I'm alone a lot of the time, I will go up to strangers (like you did in the park) and join their games.
This is absolutely quality! Great examples of how easy it can be to interact with others! 💪👏👊
This is giving me the confidance to actually maybe try and do something like that. I am not a very social person although I want to be. I am currently in high school so I don't really have many opportunities to meet new people but when I have I might try to approach them and initiate a conversation. Thank you for making this content!!

I genuinely love making connections with others and have always been the one to put myself out there in my group of friends. Just as much as they have always given me crap for being able to just talk to a stranger, I give them crap for not being able too. Too me it's fascinating to think about how easy it is to connect with someone even off the tiniest gestures like, "hey, I love your shirt. Where'd you get it?" Even if you don't make a friend, you're still leaving that individual with something to feel happy about. There's literally nothing to lose and quite possibly everything to gain from making friends. I love what you guys are doing and I hope your channel blows up in popularity! 🤷🏽♂️ Just my two scents.
