Hitchhiking from Tijuana to the North Pole: Thumbs Up Season 2 (Part 3/4)
David and Harry continue their second great trek, starting from Tijuana and plotting a course up the West Coast, through Canada, and to the North Pole.
In the third part of their northward trek, the guys get a ride to Bakersfield from a friendly non-English-speaker. After a casual little run-in with a cop forces them off the highway, the boys catch a train and continue on through California's weird, semi-rural middle.
Hosted by David Choe | Originally released in 2008 at vice.com

Udder Mayhem Actually, on David Choe's podcast called DVDASA, he admitted that this series was somewhat staged. I'm sure that besides the cameraman following the two hitchhikers, there was a van following them throughout their adventure that was used for storage, change of clothing, safety, food and water.

LOL HARRY IS FLYING AND THE PILOT IS EATING TAKEOUT!
Dude that airplane is at best a Cessna 182 probably a 172. That birds range is, about 1000mi and a direct flight from the NW tip of the US to Anchorage Alaska is 1,540mi. With 4 dudes you would be able to carry about MAYBE half a fuel tank without going over max take off weight. He would HAVE to make like 2-3 stops in Canada on the way and back of the envelope calculation puts the gas price at $550 for the direct route one way and about a 8 hour flight assuming you could take the direct route (which is not possible).
Not true...we also have maple syrup. Lol
Dude, you were at the border, then the next morning you were in Arlington? Arlington is about 70 miles back south toward Seattle. WTF?
Bros and bras, I remember watching this back when it came out. 😎 boy time flys 🕊
Doubtful that plane had the fuel capacity to make it to Alaska.
I live in Everett WA it's about 30min north of Seattle and about 15min south of Arlington airport...I could've picked you guys up from the Everett train station lol
idk why but harry flying the plane had me so hyped....
I love Harry's one-liners LOL!!
How to hitchhike: have a cute boy willing to act gay or hot girl willing to play around XD love the series hahaha
both me and my dad are dual citizens of the US and Canada, haven't lived in the states for too long but we meet up for an epic ski trip every year that always takes us into Canada. funny because he has trouble at customs every time for some stuff he did when he was 19 going both ways in and out whereas I get straight through usually w a brick of hash taped to my leg ahaha

p3vvp3vv while I agree that Quebec is cool as heck, I disagree with your assessment of Anglo Canadian culture. You see the diference between America and even between Quebec and Anglo Canada is that there is no general culture. Canada is far more complex than that, even the "Anglo" Canadians have a very diverse background, truthfully many of their ancestors are not English. There have been several waves of white Europeam immigration to Canada: French, English, Scottish, Irish, German, Dutch, Ukrainian, Italian, Russian, Spanish, Czech, Polish, Portuguese, Flemmish, the list goes on. Some have melted into the ideal of the "Anglo Canadian" losing their ancestral cultural identity while others have not. Some 3rd generation English speaking Canadians are unaware that their great grandparents came here from another country and spoke another language. While others are aware of their European roots and carry that cultural history with them and identify as a hyphenated Canadian, such as a Scottish-Canadian. Personally I'm none of the above. Born here but not white enough to be considered an Anglo or a Quebecois, but Canadian all the same. I do know that America eats up Canadian cultural exports: many of the biggest Comedians in Hollywood of the past 50 years are Anglo Canadian, popular musicians, Bachman Turner, RUSH, Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen, Neil Young, Nickel Back (not proud of that one), Avril Lavigne, Alanis Morisette, Arcade Fire (partially french), Cory Hart, Fiest, Anvil, Sarah Mclaughlin, and the kicker - - Bieber (unfortunately). We've also got a lot of cool black and brown english speaking cultural exports but that doesn't fit the common definition of Anglo. Peace man!
