Love Cockney Reg Doing the merch plug. He seriously needs to be a full time on camera personality. More Cockney Reg please!
It was hype
I love Cockney Reg to
I would love to see Cockney again in future videos!!!
Cockney reg should start a sister channel from his cab. I just know that guys life is an adventure.
Give us King Reg the T-shirt 👕
I have watched for 6mins and amar’s decision to forget everything and find the best shawarma place shows his years of wisdom!
Yes inspires me.. My parents said if i get 35K followers They'd buy me a professional camera for recording..begging u guys , literally
Begging...
That's literally the first thing I do in every place I go
The Greek in me literally shouted, "Yeaaas!" when he did that 😂
@@namantherockstar just subscribed. I hope you achieve this. I wish you luck 💚
No he was hungry
I like how Stefans night was the most relaxing while Ammar is stressing & Thomas partying his night away lol
Stefans night was a "*hits blunt* "Do you believe in Aliens, me to bro" kinda night 😂
@@dodo19923 😂😂😂😂 they were two stranger kids crashing together
@@dodo19923 yeah its honestly insane how chill they were it was like they just got done smoking a bong rip haha
Staffan: Has the most normal experience one could expect
Thomas: Was expecting a normal night but spend the night partying
Ammar: Inadvertently gets caught up in interpersonal drama but somehow still succeeds
Boys, you’re making some of the best videos RUclips has ever seen. Keep it coming. The experiences are so inspiring
Wow always feels special coming from you fellas!! Love you guys 🤗
When are we getting a @colinandSamir + @yesTheory cross-over?
@@anferneechappened ages ago
I agree but when you start off with “Boys,” it makes me cringe so bad
Crazy that this only has 4 replies
The dichotomy of Thomas at a club and Stephan having a date looking at the stars with that stranger is the funniest thing ive seen in so long xD.
HAHAHA the cut between those two clips killed me, they were having such opposite nights.
The club name is UFO and they were talking about aliens looking at stars lmao
date ?!
date wtf 🤣
Thomas got the content needed and that was for sure a date! I mean he called him daddy when he was about to sleep 😂
The sentiment of Staffan saying "People with the least give the most" is so true because those with very little, know the impact that a small contribution can make. Those that are more well off will often take it for granted.
P.S. So happy to see Cockney Reg make a guest appearance 😆
I've read articles that said people with the least are more generous than the wealthy.
we no longer have a mortgage, my husband is now retired and wants to travel back to Lebanon. We don’t splurge or anything like that. Inflation has hit hard and want to relocate while growing his 401k which is less than 700k at the moment. I'm cautious than ever with rising costs. Also because of the insecurities taking place I have really discouraged the idea.
Roughly how much you have in the 401k combined with a financial advisor’s help can help you not only grow but budget the money for your travel destinations. My spouse always delegates her excesses.
If I can chip in know what you are expecting from the 401k. An adviser might be able to help you visualize what role. The 401k plays in your overall plan. If your husband isn’t require to take minimum distributions yet, how long will it be until he reaches that required beginning age? These are what an adviser may want to determine in order to help you plan better and what investment strategy best suits you.
@@sergiopawson The ones I find are young and I feel may not be experienced working with us. They also tend to charge as much as 1% AUM which I am not comfortable with.
My fduciary requires you to have “worth-living assets” like creating memories, pursuing alternate interests, spending with family on trips that growing your finances can attain under the business model. She has over 600 million aum and doing exceedingly great on my account.

I am Lebanese and I can’t express how happy I am that you have made this challenge and showed the truth regardless of what the data shows. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
do you still have phoenician priests?
how could i be in contact with yes fam in lebanon??
I'm Lebanese too, I miss Lebanon so much❤
US is absolute trash compared with Lebanon, community is everything
🇱🇧🇱🇧🇱🇧
As a lebanese living abroad, i cant but confess that i watched the whole video with tear in my eyes. Thank you for highlighting how beautiful our country is and how strong my people are. Thank you for this
Nafs lshe 😢😢
Haven’t been to Lebanon yet, living in China/Asia remotely. But I cried too. Can’t wait to visit now because of this 🎉
I would love to visit your beautiful country!
@@wandamaximoff813I have heard the food is the best
As a Lebanese, I can confirm this is one of the best videos made about my country!
your girls are we beautiful
Just remember that we you think of Americans. We are not all our government or on the left with blue hair
Really loved this one guys ❤🇱🇧
Love your content too!
Please return to Lebanon 🇱🇧 and re-do the time you have lost during your trip in Lebanon
Omg kara and nateee love your videos! You should give Lebanon a second try, you did not explore it the way you should. Sending love from #Lebanon ❤️❤️❤️
WOOHOO! I'm so pumped that you guys made it to LEBANON, one of my fav places on earth. I'm thrilled to see old style yes theory videos again, it's no surprise that these are SMASHING!
YOU SHOULD ALSO COME BACK TO LEBANON
@@kikomda i will always be coming back!
@@drewbinsky hope to see u soon in Lebanon!!
@drewbinsky we looooveeeeee you broo! Me & my wife N kids love you -james fam from WV 🇺🇸
Y so mad country
The guy with Thomas is so genuine and amazing. Amazing video guys, really bought a smile on our face.
Jad! He was incredible, such a kind and hospitable person
He was such a fun loving guy! Just wanted to show Thomas a good time. Was a bit nervous for him when he did those motorcycle tricks though hahaha
looks like he could become part of yes theory family
Anyone else just put Lebanon on their ‘must visit’ list? This video was so full of genuine good vibes and love. I hope you fully appreciate what you accomplish with these videos and, particularly, for such nations that get only bad press in western media. You all are wonderful humans.
ur always welcome i advise u to visit and party everywhere while touring around enjoy!
Just don´t say you are an apostate and you might live.
@@PROVOCATEURSK I think you are being overly dramatic 🙄
, how ignorant can you be. Just don't say you're Lebanese in your country. You might stab us in the back👉👿
@@Utoober67Lebanon is one of the most religiously diverse nations in the middle east.
Ammar immediately asking to be taken to the best shawarma place in town is so funny. Smartest man out there.
Lebanonese Shawarma is the best followed by Turkish, Syrian and Egyptian.
Honestly mad respect for the group of boys not having Thomas stay at their house because they have a little sister. That’s a really sweet thought and they were being protective. Love it! ❤
Thats how it works muslim countries if you want to host a visitor and you have a sister you have to think her before 🙏
That's very common for Arabs - we just have different norms and our families are usually very protective of their daughters, sisters, cousins :p

I'm 79 and I LOVE your adventures. You touch us by touching humanity.
As a first generation Canadian, born to Lebanese immigrant parents, and who went to Lebanon for the first time this year, you captured this country perfectly. I was nervous to go to Lebanon but I had the absolute best time despite all of the economic and political uncertainty. Thank you!
Welcome to your birthparent's country. If you find your parents nice and generous, then you'd also expect the country they were brought up in to hold the same values. Hope you revisit it again
@@josephdahdouh2725 you're exactly right. My parents are the nicest and most generous people I know, and I now know where they get it from
The guy randomly saying ’we’re wanted by the police’ and his brother quickly turning him round had me on the floor😂😂😂😂 your videos just make my day walahi
That made me lol 😝. He was Amazing. 🙋🏻♀️😉
walllah i?
it had me in tears😂
@@dsaddfgs1186”swear to god”
If this doesn't make you want to jump on a plane and go immerse yourself in Lebanon,I don't know what will. Much love from Scotland.
I met a Scottish lady working for an NGO in Beirut in January. Imagine her shock when an Armenian/Lebanese guy who lives in Norway told her he’s just been to Aberdeen and had Haggis for Christmas. Much love back to Scotland from us!
@@Normenian Hi, you get extra bonus points for eating Haggis, it's the food of champions, just don't look at the ingredients list.....
I immediately looked up flights haha
@@AdventureHunter. It's incredibly tempting, isn't it?
Oh I know the ingredients and it's still mouth watering for me.
Bro at 17:13 saying "we are wanted by the police" just killed me Hahahah, this just shows how people can play around, have fun and just be relatable even when their country is in a tough situation.
12:23 “It’s love for the country, and you want to believe and know it’s gonna work out even if the signs don’t show. It’s also the faith in the people.”
This is such a beautiful response despite the economic, political and social challenges they’re facing in Lebanon.
I’m a Filipino and living in the Philippines became even more challenging due to the economic changes. However, I’ll never stop loving my country and have faith that it’ll prosper again.
To all Filipinos, let us not lose our patriotism for our country.
❤❤
Bahaha! Thomas is such a tightly wound ball of anxiety, had to meet the most chaotic person. Staffan was a wholesome cherub whose first thought was to give flowers away, ends up having the cutest bromance sleepover. Then Ammar in true Yes Theory fashion actively connected with the culture and ended up with the most ragtag group at the end.
Thomas and anxiety? I don't think you understand him that well.
How are the Lebanese so amazing? Both the guys and girls all look so healthy, and their generosity and comradery is unmatched. Would love to live there someday!
Remember that this is who chose to speak to the camera. A lot of people don't want to be on camera. You're not seeing the really bad people. I really appreciate and love Yes Theory but we definitely only see one side of people in their videos.
@@CRneuWdym by really bad people? Like characteristic wise or look wise?
@@williamharrington757 obviously personality/characteristic wise
@@CRneuso true
@@CRneu somebody is buying into Israeli propaganda. Shitty people exist everywhere. I think there's a misconception that Lebanon is some kind of Islamist country, but it isn't. Those people exist there, especially in the south, but it's not indicative of the culture and country ass a whole, let alone representative of the majority even. Beirut has always been a pretty western-like city for decades.
I've been traveling to Lebanon as a single female traveler! I had an amazing time, the locals are so welcoming and willing to help and explain the history! I was impressed by the knowledge of the locals, especially in Beirut- many of them were speaking at least 3 languages! I met a lot of foreigners visiting Lebanon which made me hope that things will get better! I would always return there, amazing country, welcoming people and a generosity I haven't found as much in other countries! Great video, thanks for sharing this experience with us!
I had the amazing opportunity to live in this country for a couple of months, and I only can say that their people changed my life completely. Their joy, love and hope is incomprehensible. Thank you Lebanon! ❤
Do they follow a book that says to unalive people for "sins"?
@@PROVOCATEURSKDid you even see the video?
Thats an insane thing to say ☠️ the ignorance is crazy@@PROVOCATEURSK
Being Lebanese this is the most authentic and truly representative video of lebanon and the lebanese people on youtube, you guys are amazing I'm so bummed I wasn't in Lebanon to see you!!
I'm so curious, Why the government of Lebanon can't handle this crisis?
@@Bradford99corrupt politicians

@@Bradford99politicians sure but also crises times, the chemical explosion, covid, revolution.. every country in the arab spring had a bit of a big economic crisis after their revolution bec even being called unstable alone is a great hit to tourism and investors, after that chemical explosion and covid came to deal more damage, with more and more people being affected that in turn causes more protests and so its a cycle, and with ineffective politicians its almost impossible to escape
Cockney Reg cameo killed me !!!
I am Italian, raised in Netherlands, now living in India. I lived in Lebanon in 2010 and 2011. Those 13-14 months were some of the happiest, carefree, most outgoing moments of my life.
I am so happy and pleased to see in this video that, despite the country being in a much worse condition than 12-13 years ago, the people haven't changed A BIT !!!
To people who have zero Middle-East experience, but have been to Italy, I usually say that Lebanon is pretty much like Italy (sun, sea, mountains, lots of warm and loud conversations & gestures, respect for family and so much more) with the difference that people speak Arabic (and French and English often !!!). Oh, and Lebanese told me an important lesson, that their version of pizza (man2ouseh) can be eaten in the morning ... which I thoroughly enjoyed after overcoming my initial shock ;-)
B7abbak ya Libnaan. Kteeeeeer !!! Wallah !
:)
Grazie per le tue parole . Tutto quello che hai detto e vero . Sono gia stato ben 7 volte in Italia , il paese piu bello del mondo 🇮🇹 🇱🇧
We are mediterranean brothers.
The jewel of the middle east. This country has amazing, warm, kind people. I know the country will turn itself around in the near future. Great video guys
I love seeing people experience Lebanon for the first time.
Outside of the politics and the image portrayed by the media, it is a MUST visit country.
And stay off the beaten path, ignore the touristy things and interact with the locals and see things from their eyes.
Everyone is very well educated and you will have no communication issues whatsoever. There's a reason everyone falls in love with this place.
I can't help but be filled with gratitude and joy for being part of this adventure - for showing you guys what Lebanon has to offer!! It has truly been one of the most fulfilling experiences in my life, how you managed to bring people together from diverse backgrounds, fostering a genuine sense of unity and shared purpose. Your visit not only shed light on the charm of my country but also brought people together in a way that transcends borders and cultures♥To everyone watching this, I hope this brings a fraction of the happiness and inspiration it brought me during my time filming with the guys!! Lebanon is a gem waiting to be explored, and I couldn't have asked for a better family to showcase its magic to the world✨🇱🇧 Thank you!!!

Amazing experience! Very inspiring and uplifting! ❤❤ So beautiful to see the wonderful, generous people of Lebanon!😊❤😊
@@namantherockstar pffft ya right. Shut up
I’m Lebanese living in France, I left Lebanon a few days following the explosion and haven’t been back since, this video hit really hard, reminded me of what I loved about my home country and why it was so difficult for me to leave it, thank you guys for bringing a piece of Lebanon to the world ❤️
Shit, so you left to France from Lebanon to escape anger and violence, just for riots to start in France. I feel bad for you. I hope these riots stop soon ❤.
You will be back bro, work hard earn some money and come back enjoy your country
This country has good food Mountain View’s beaches cafes like better than most places go back invest France is shit compared to there
Why didn´t you go to a country with similar culture? Money is more important?
I love Lebanese people, music, and food!
I’m Lebanese. And this made me tear. Great job.
Y’all live a charmed life. I know we don’t see what happens off camera and everyone has struggles but y’all have created something very special.
I love how you covered all the economy classes in this video, the night life workers, the humble middle class, and the spoiled rich kids.
Yesss
ammar was with rich kids ?...
@@Ansh25_daddyy Yea the ones that took him to a 5 star luxury hotel but ended up getting rejected 🤣
I love how protective other countries can be over the women in their family. It’s awesome to learn about other cultures through these videos.
that also comes with its downsides, you get disowned or shot, when you do anything as a women that involves a man outside of marriage......don't glorify shit just because you saw a video of maybe open minded people, if u dont know anything.
protective…. yeah!
@@oceyhobro talks like murders and disowning of people only happens in countries where they try to protect their women in their families and where they actually respect the women more than western countries. Look at USA it’s much worse, there you even have so much school shootings where innocent CHILDREN are getting shot for no any reason. The rape percentage is even higher in those western countries than those Muslims countries. So before talking next time do your research and actually know what you are talking about.
@@oceyho It's all about controlling women through fear. In the West, we have decided to let women make their own choices and face the consequences themselves, but I don't know if it's really had a positive impact on women's mental health.
Yes. Being treated like a valuable asset for a man's status instead of like a person. Because the uterus can make more people.
The story of Lebanon really resonates with me as someone from Myanmar. Countries that are full of wonderful people and cultures who suffer due to corrupt governments, it really is an injustice that I hope will be resolved 🥺
kyay zu per, im lebanese and i have an online burmese friend, when he tells me about the situation there always reminds me of what we go through too, indeed burmese culture is interesting and it's language, unfortunately i just managed to learn only one word 😅
I was skeptical when Russell Peters (a comedian) was talking about how the Lebanese party like there's no tomorrow. Now, I have zero doubts about that.
Man, I am really amazed by how many locals in Lebanon speak fluent English. In my country, China, I’d say probably 80% of the population can’t have conversation in English at all. Most of the young people know some English, but it’s more for writing exams instead of actually using it in daily interactions, which means many of them wouldn’t speak English nearly as fluently. Like Chinese, Arabic is a language completely different from English, and yet, so many Lebanese people speak English so comfortably, it’s just fascinating.
Like as they said briefly on screen, in Lebanon, the US dollar was used as an additional curency until the government banned it in 2019. I just checked and basically USA influence has been slowly influencing the rise of English since the 1940s. Apparently 30% of Lebanese people speak English, and I would bet that most of them are younger people and people who live and work in Beirut. Wikipedia says the government instituted the use of a trilingual education system in 1997, where education is to be done in Arabic, English, and French. So most of the people they talked to would be young enough to have been using English all throughout their lives in school. I think Thomas could have been using French as well, but English worked better for the video. Or maybe he didn't know about the French part, who knows. French would have been more likely to work on older people than English so it's entirely possible he WAS using it off camera.
The folks that yes theory interacts with tend to be younger folks that have traveled abroad, so english is commonly spoken. Also, 2 of the 3 people here didn't speak arabic so you're not going to see interactions with those hosts in anything but english.
@@Teapot_418 in what way?
Actually Lebanon has had a tri lingual education system for a looong time. Well before 1997. It may not have been instituted before then though. I’m first generation and my whole family (parents, aunts, uncles) speak English, French and Arabic. This is because schools in Lebanon are either French or English schools. All taught Arabic but you needed French or English as well
We Lebanese people have always been multilingual.
I love how they found Staffan by chance and now he's a reoccurring character in their videos. Keep up the good work boys!
they found him by chance? do you know what video it is?
2 strangers swap lives across the world for 72 hours
I'm a lebanese and i live there now and i always watch your videos but seeing my country and my people in such a nice picture and wonderful hospitality brought me to tears ... lebanon is known for it's different cultures and religions ... so basically everyone can find home in lebanon 🇱🇧 ❤
There's a huge community of Lebanese and Sirian descendents in Brazil and I'm privileged to have many friends in those communities.
It's exactly as shown. Their hospitality and love for life is contagious.
I'm praying for these brave and resilient peoples to overcome this difficult moment and reconstruct what was a little piece of paradise.
And by the way, I'm an Italian descent myself but YES!! their food is fantastic.

Whoa! I never expected it to be like this. So many spoke great English. And I was stunned by the number of really handsome Lebanese men 😮

14:39 i love this ad lmaooo the british accent makes it so good
Lebanon is officially my favorite country in the WORLD!!! UNMATCHED GOOD VIBES
I travelled solo to Beirut in the Fall of 2019, right when the protests against the government were ongoing. I stayed with the nicest airbnb hosts imaginable in the port district that later got blown up by the huge explosion. Luckily, they survived. I had a great week in Beirut - much better than I was expecting. I even walked straight through the protests and the army was so friendly as were the protesters. Unlike in the past, they were young and peaceful. Already their currency was crashing but not nearly as bad as what happened after I left. The nightlife was fantastic, the food was great as well as the people and the history was fascinating. Before the economy crashed the lifestyle was awesome. I left with a new appreciation for this great destination and know that Lebanon will rebuild and thrive again in the future thanks to its wonderful people. They survived a far worse civil war - they can survive this. We in the West need to help economically though.
We in the west are aligned with Isreal so they will never see our US aid. We wouldn't even speak against the bomb that the media reported was at a fireworks depot. Smh
this comment will probably be buried deep down but I have to say this. I've been following yall for 7 years and you gave me a reason to live. to see the experiences, the hospitability, the kindness and the power of connections has made me hopeful, even if I don't experience them myself. to know that there are kind people out there like in this video gives me strength to live on, and for myself to experience it too. to be honest, there is no yesfam community in Singapore where I live and I've tried to reach out and find my community but I couldn't. this video made me smile, and be hopeful that will soon. the energy is so contagious. Thank you. Thank you for doing what you do, you may not realise the entirety of your love but it is awesome. More love more life.
I’m so glad you are here
your voice is heard
Sorry to hear that, I know how it feels to not have community (unfortunately I live on he other side of the world). Don't think you're alone with this and don't give up hope, yet! At least we have this little corner in the internet which is so full of love and kindness.
May God bless you. 🙋🏻♀️❤️🔥👍🏽
If you cant find one, create one. That's life. Also, that's a discomfort too.
i love these videos but sometimes i get sad knowing i would never be able to do this as a woman :( thank you for sharing tho, i’m living this experience through you guys!
edit: to everyone who replied to this comment thanks for sharing your experience i felt a little more hopeful but just to clear things up, i didn’t mean to say i wouldn’t do it because it’s an arab country at all, i wouldn’t do it in “first world” countries either tbh.
i’m super glad you got to experience solo traveling as a woman in these different countries, and i’m aware there is good people everywhere, but we do need to recognize that men will never face the same kind of fear/insecurity as us. women have to always be doubly cautious, and that’s not to victimize us, it’s just a fact sadly :(
and i know women’s opinions on these matters will always vary because we all come from different places. i’m a mexican woman and mexico is one of (if not the number one) country in latin america with the highest rate of feminicide, so that degree of violence against women is my daily life. i guess it’s just about perspective and lived experiences. i tend to not trust most strangers because that’s how i was raised to exist in order to protect myself. i just wish that wasn’t the case at all, and me and other women who grew up in the same kind of context didn’t have the need to look at the world with fear and we could just see the potential good on people (strangers). that’d be completely ideal!
pero bueno, cada quien.
Yes, I was totally thinking the same...on one hand, is less safe, on the other hand, a lot more people would just think you are hitting on them.
This is an interesting point of view that I did not consider. I think with a good smile and welcoming personality, anybody can live like this.
Fortunately that is not true! I have traveled, hitch hiked , couch surfed on my own and been with local people in various countries (even Turkey, Greece, Spain) multiple times. Exciting? Yes. But never anything nasty occurred. Did i meet with hospitality? Oh yes, tons! A female Turkish friend of mine has been doing the same for years, now for over a half year already, traveling all by herself on the African continent
I visited Lebanon, Egypt and Syria as a woman travelling alone. And i hitchhiked through Turkey were I met my now husband. The only time I felt unsafe was in Syria when 2 men approached me and wouldn't accept a NO, but didn't touched me or anything. And like 3 minutes later there were 5 guys who helped me. There are good people in every country. I often heard "don't travel to a muslim country as a woman alone"... but for me that wasn't true. Besides that one incident with the syrian guys I always felt safe. People invited me, little shops gifted me stuff. And I felt so watched after. In Egypt the most. People asked me all the time if everything is alright and how I like the country, they invited me to tea or bought me something from those little food stands on the side of the road. It was amazing. The only time during my travels were I got molested and was really feared was in Europe. I got pushed against a wall and was touched between my legs in Paris.
same here, did a lot of traveling alone everywhere, never a problem. Got a hand in my crotch in Amsterdam, though haha @@NinaNowakDemir
As a Lebanese living abroad, u remind me of how much I love this country and how I need to say YES to booking my flights there asap!
I thought Ammar would have the easiest time speaking Arabic, Steffan had the night I would have wanted - chilling on the balcony talking about aliens, but Thomas for sure had the best night - go techno! ❤
And you were right, Ammar had the easiest time communicating but because he went on 2 detours he didn't get as much tries as the others, one of which was with the yes fam so that must've taken alot of time
❤❤❤😍😍😍My dopamine went through the roof once I saw the video🇱🇧🇱🇧🇱🇧 I've been a big fan for so long and now you came to my small country❤ thank you for this beautiful video
i cried when i left lebanon. my heart will for ever stay there
this video had me in tears
I'm so happy that you guys adding Staffan to the team. He really mesh well with everyone.
You guys all met in Canada, but haven't really made videos of you exploring the 2nd biggest country in the world. I'd love to see you guys travel across Canada from coast to coast to coast. Try and visit all 10 provinces and all 3 territories. You will see so much variety of landscapes, people, and experiences, and it would be EPIC!
Canada its my top bucket list , cant wait to go there 🇨🇦🍁

This is seriously one of the most beautiful things I have watched in all of RUclips's history. Thank you for doing this and keep sharing. This thing breaks down the invisible barriers that are dividing people and what you're doing here is making the world a better place. WOW.
Wow what an amazing place with such beautiful people.
Firstly, Arabic might be the most beautiful sounding language in the world. Secondly, these people are some of the most eccentric people I think I've seen in your videos! The spirit is so high and the energy of everyone is amazing! I want to visit very much after this
Arabic is just one of our languages. And we have a very different, unique dialect. We're also not genetically Arabs. Just Lebanese.
The "Angriest" country in the world turned out to be the Friendliest !!! Greetings from Greece. ❤❤❤
Cockney Reg! ❤ The Lebanese people are so genuine & generous. I wish the best for their country.
@@MrYesTheory..- just joined 10 minutes ago, with zero subscribers… I smell a scam 🚩
Rewatching this for the Nth time and the goosebumps don't stop. So grateful for this community.
As a Lebanese whos traversed every street you've been on, this video lit up my soul. Also wanted to add, Staffan has an epic vibe.
As a half Lebabese person living in Canada who lived in a foster home and grew up disconnected from my biological family and heritage, this video has impacted me in the best way. I feel a sense of connection unlike any other I've ever had. To say that is so wild.. the impact feels life changing.
Thank you for making these videos and giving me the opportunity to live vicariously through you!! My heart is so full, I love you guys, all of Yes Theory, and Lebanon, SO MUCH! 💕
Time to go home maybe? You'll never regret it.
If you can afford it.
@@asdfg3839nah home is canada
@@asdfg3839 I'd love to go, and when I can afford to in the future I will. I don't know where I'll go and how I'll find my people, but I'm going to try!
I'm in Alberta and wonder if there's a group of Yes Theory fans here?
This is definitely one of your best videos ever! It combines a lot of your strenghts like traveling, showing the "real" country, being alone in the city challenge, and meeting a lot of nice Yes-people. It also made me want to visit Beirut.
I absolutely love the people of beirut! They're so friendly and are down for anything. I didn't expect them to speak English that well either, It looks like a lovely place visit to visit
This is primarily the kind of content that attracted me in the first place to the Yes Theory Channel and it's message. The goodness and kinship in people for strangers, for example. I'd love to, one day, be able to do such an adventure myself!
This, right from the title this is rubbish. Who claims Beirut has more angry people compared to New York, London, Istanbul, Moscow, Caracas, Wuhan, or Durban?
Having grown up in the Middle East where majority of my friends were from Lebanon and surrounding regions it blows my mind that its even on that list, it makes absolutely no sense to me, Lebanese are some of the most friendliest, fun loving and hospitable people you'll meet, I pray that their undeserved sufferings come to an end soon, but also thank you for making this video, much love ❤
Well they didn’t make up the stats . Something must be true
This was so wholesome and I’m glad I watched this. Laughed my ass off at the 3 radically different journeys all of you took 😂 can’t wait for more videos boys!
"People who have the least, they give the most." Yes that's us ❤ thank you
My father is from Beirut, but we've only spoken a handful of times throughout my life. I was born in Canada and I am now 28 years old. I never got the chance to know anything about my paternal family or anything about Lebanon other than through news and media, but this video gives me hope that I will one day get to visit my country and feel the sense of home I've been longing for my whole life. Thank you Yes Theory for another incredible video allowing people from across the globe to gain insight into cultures that are often misunderstood and misrepresented in the Western world.
Yalla ta3a chouf lebnen, chou nater?
You should come now it's now or never brother
This made me cry, thank you for showing us to the world ❤️❤️
Such a incredible vibe and energy. Well done guys you are the best, and there's no angry country, just people going through difficulties. ❤️
You guys have inspired me to travel across the world and experience other cultures everywhere, thank you.
Yes inspires me.. My parents said if i get 35K followers They'd buy me a professional camera for recording..begging u guys , literally

That's awesome!!!
Lebanon seems extremely nice and not angry at all. I swear there's more anger in my household than the whole country that was shown in this video.
🤣🤣🤣
They only show positive interactions and is only a snapshot. Not trying to take away from it but keep bias/perspective in mind

True! Same story. 😂
Such a beautiful video. What absolute wholesome, pure people. I would love to visit this country. Thank you for capturing this
These videos always change my perspective on life, people, and the world. Thank you, Yes Theory for putting these videos out and changing lives for the better ❤
When Thomas was going to party, I was kind of expecting it to just be those guys hanging out and having some drinks. I guess I should have picked up on the vibes after the wheelies on the scooter. My jaw dropped to the floor when I saw the club they went to 😂
It was awesome watching three different experiences unfold at the same time. All three guys had completely unique days and nights, but they all met friendly people and woke up with incredible views. Yet again, Yes Theory puts out a wonderful video from start to finish. From the talented editing, to the awesome merch plug from Reg, this video was an all around great one.
Welcome to Lebanon 😂 they go out with friends party eat and that’s pretty much it, they just be having a good time.
What an epic movie about an epic country. Great idea with the challenge. Been in Lebanon few times myself due to my profession. While and after my performances as you would say I emersed into to the Lebanese world and mett one of the nices people that I ever met. They showed me their food (the best in the world I agree) their culture, their struggles and how they try to overcome it and ofcourse also the world famous night life of Beirut. Great idea to put this country into the spotlight - they trully deserve it (like many other surrounding countries) Keep inspiring guys and good luck to Lebanese people ;)
34 minutes documentary vlog is a movie to you? 😂
@@Piyushrahiyou are miserable. Hoepfully these videos are helping a little bit.
My favorite channel on RUclips by far. You guys never fail to make me smile and inspire me. Thank you guys
never seen something like this in my entire life. I've got goosebumps everywhere, such an expiring video. thank you
I’m from the US but I now live in Mexico which has a BIG Lebanese community. They’re amazing, hard working ppl who have made a big name for themselves here. I truly hope things get better in Lebanon. Much love to Lebanon and it’s people from Mexico 🇺🇸🇲🇽🇱🇧

I’ve been watching you guys since I was a young adult, you’ve helped form my outgoing personality all these years. Bless you guys :)
thanks so much! You have no idea how incredible it is to us to know this :) It's literally why we do what we do!
I truly wouldn’t have had the heart to make the friends I did, learn the languages I did, and embrace and learn what I used to be afraid of. I can only pray you continue with your success and spreading positivity, positive brotherhood and culture.

This is just so beautiful. Thank you for sharing these experiences with the rest of us. it truly makes us open our eyes to what media today try to cover.
outstanding how nice those people are. Such a positive and strong mindset !
Merci
Lebanon is now definitely on my bucket list! I want to go there so bad! Amazing culture and people.
Lebanon is a beautiful country with loving and accepting people! I wish everyone viewing this video has the opportunity to visit Lebanon one day 🇱🇧❤️
"loving and accepting people" when 85% of the population is heavily against lgbt rights lmao
Your videos are the best! I enjoy watching each of them! It is so nice to see that there so much greatness in the world and it’s people, despite all of the conflicts and negativity!✌🏻
This is so beautiful. I was literally in tears, watching this. God bless you dear people 🙏💗
This video made me emotional, sincerely thank you Yes Theory for making this. I’m a Lebanese expat living in Australia and the situation in my country absolutely breaks my heart. Our people radiate love, generosity and happiness.
How is it living in australia as a lebanese, do u enjoy it everynow and then
