Sam: "I keep choosing the high-risk option and failing."
Also Sam: "Let's take the luck route."
... and then keep digging too close to the water. Over and over again.
Exactly, I thought for sure that his whole spiel about wanting to throw Ben and Adam off and him always choosing the risky play meant he was going to go west! Nope, immediately goes east and leaves the dependable route to Ben and Adam
@@Moggetslittlesister, same, lol. I was like, wait, what? Obviously when you're ahead, it is better to force the opponent to play it risky. I sure hope Sam isn't a gambler. XD
I used to dig holes with friends on the beach, but you have to be extreeeeemely far from the water or the slope of the beach has to be really high otherwise you'll hit water pretty soon. 1m depth is A LOT.
What's even worse is that Sam and Toby had an early lead so you don't want to take the high variance path.
12:36 I love that Toby had Her nails done as the Jetlag symbol for the series! That’s just amazing!
And then had to dig through sand and hit dirt with that manicure :') But maybe in the end it will be kinda symbolic of all challenges they've overcome
Ikr, I love it too
They are just amazing XD
Sam: this time I’m going to be unpredictable and take the luck route
Ben and Adam: we predict that Sam is going to take the luck route
Sam has the worst possible luck in alot of jet lag games but he still decides to take risks
He literally says his strategy is always high risk high reward so he should do something else then still literally does the high risk high reward path
I love that Sam fully thought abt how Ben and Adam always get to do the game plan they are most comfortable with, and still chose to not do that plan
ok
Ik, it doesn’t make sense!!
nothing makes the day better than a new episode from jet lag
yep
Counterpoint: TWO new episodes from Jet Lag would be better, which you get if you subscribe to Nebula.
I prefer watching them gradually because then they last longer
@@pennycatherall4964 That's very resist-eating-the-marshmallow-so-you-get-two-marshmallows of you.
Yeah I now
There's no more iconic duo than Ben and Adam ☺️
Yes. The two editors!
Eve fells highly offended.😂
**Mario and Luigi have left the chat **
But the real question everyone's asking is do they get drunk again?
Debatable
Toby's jet lag nails are everything omg, so excited for this season
They look so good
ok
And then she had to dig sand with them oh no :(
ok
I only just noticed it today when I watched it for the 10th time
I just know I'm gonna love this series
nice
👍
Hi
👍
It's a V-clip this series. I know about this very little.
As a New Zealander I cant tell if I'm more excited to see all our beautiful locations in such a cool format, or to see how they pronounce everything 😬
haha me too! i’d like to think they’d take some time to learn pronunciation, since Te Reo Māori pronunciation is fairly straight forward. But after hearing Sam say Cape Reinga i’m not so sure
Same here, I was super excited seeing the new season was coming out and I also get to cringe at their pronunciation too
The yellow team has a homefield advantage.
I heard Cape Ranga XD
And the quote ‘it’s called toast, is that what the call bread?’ 😂
Sam choosing the luck route and getting unlucky is the most sam thing ever 😂
*Singapore casino*
Oh man, what a throwback
Ben Dover Productions
He could learn from his mistakes, but where's the fun in that?
Repent to Jesus Christ ““Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much.”
Luke 16:10 NIV
Y
This hits different, being a New Zealander, as I can actually recognise places they're going and where they're heading compared to other seasons. I love it.
I had that experience with tag across Europe! It's great 👍
This is how New Yorkers get to feel whenever another super villian is destroying their city I presume. It's nice.
"What's a buckees" vs "Pak-n-save! There's one just down the road!"
Same here!
Yea!
The parallels of Ben and Adam just enjoying a sandwich and then Sam and Toby stressing out while digging a hole are just hilarious.
Edit: Hey guys can you please actually unlike this post, that would actually help me a lot.

Toby and Ben resigning themselves to being "the slow ones" and have a chill walk together while Sam and Adam sprint.
Smart. Make the others do the work.
Sam and Toby: Digging through the luck route
Adam and Ben: Literally just eating a sandwich
Could it be that they can dig until sea level and then the water comes, meaning the sand they are standing on has to be at least 91 cm (36 inches) above water level?
Didn't know Toby before this. She seems pretty cool, excited to see more of her.
Ben and Adam are iconic as always!
She's great. And has serious smarts.
TOBY????? Omg I can’t believe it, this is the best collab of my life, I would watch a 10 hour video os Sam and Toby discussing whatever topic they wanted
This is the most excited I've been to see a group of people cross New Zealand since I saw the fellowship leave Rivendell back in 2001.
💀
Underrated comment haha
Bruh 😂 I'm not even a LOTR guy and I think this is an amazing comment.
Bruh that’s golden
The final challenge of the game is to drop a ring into Mount Doom.
As a Kiwi, it is a very weird and wholesome experience watching Ben and Adam go into a Pak n Save and buy Vogels 😂
and then buying Tasty Cheese and say "it says it's tasty"
And it’s called toast, is that what they call bread 💀
Why’s that?
As a Kaitaia resident, it's even weirder
@@sherrynirvine yeah like do you mean to say that you call it the same as every oher type of "bread" there is? pretty sure they also call all bread "toast" once its toasted which also makes no sense
like wth do you call soft toast bread
I like how you take the time to narrate the cards challenges this time! I like not having to pause to read them each time.
GL Ben and Adam!
Me too!
Normally I'm hardcore team Ben (and therefore Adam), but I have to root for Toby (and subsequently Sam) this time because she is such a sweetheart and I want only good things to happen for her, including winning this game.
As a fellow Aucklander, it’s so cool to see Season 5 be set in New Zealand. I saw on Twitter that Ben and Adam’s flight was cancelled, meaning they were stuck in Auckland during the floods. Regardless, looking forward to what you all were up to in this beautiful country
From Napier here, this hit totally out of the blue, I had no idea this was happening and was so excited to see this.
Awesome that you pieced together the flight cancellation! Gives a good idea of when this was filmed
Fellow kiwi here (from Wellington) and it is so cool to see them exploring NZ. Interesting that they were here during the floods - it's always nice to know how long it's been since filming.
Season 5? I only see like 4 diffeent games on this channel
@@MonkeyBanjo7 prior to this one they've done race to the most states, tag across Europe, Connect 4 across USA, and circumnavigating the globe. If you look in their playlists you'll see those 4. There's not a playlist for this season yet since there's only one episode
Born in NZ to
Ben and Adam are literally an iconic team, the vibe is immaculate
Sometimes it hurts to be a team Sam fan. Man is great at planing but still makes things hard for himself everytime XD
I like the addition of Toby very much! She is such a smart character with a positive attitude! Thanks for making this program again Team Jet Lag! Love it!
I started watching this January and I got immediately hooked. I'm another team Ben and Adam, especially Ben I think is such a lovable and funny character. But Sam's a good strategist, can't deny him that although it usually, which is very apparent in this episode too, it screws him over. Still love that he got Toby now so we'll see how it goes.
Ps. I love how Toby painted her nails as the logo of the show, anyone else noticed this lovely little touch?
Came to the comments to see if anyone else noticed her nails lol
@@Koll-Manee ditto!
Yeah the nails are so cool
I loved the nails, too bad she immediately dug in the sand for an hour
I'm wondering if Sam rizzed Toby up into joining the show??
It’s shells all the way down 🐚
The jetlag nails were really cute
Love your presence on the show!
At least you get free shells, if that's any consolation.
good duo 👀
I first came to the Jet Lag channel from one of the Toby's post said that she will be in the game of next season. Out of curiosity I reached here and it was way beyond my expectation. It only took me an episode to be completely obsessed with this show. It feels really wonderful to see this season uploaded. Look forwards to next episodes!
And Toby is definitely one of the best guests.
I immediately knew the luck route was a bad idea. And that’s a very difficult challenge no matter what- anything above a 3 is actually pretty hard.
Hell anythibg above 2 is difficult, 3 or more on a beach
I feel like the challenge wasn't properly thought about, what's the point of having impossible rolls? Sure it has to be really hard the higher you roll but it never should be almost outright impossible. Rolling a 5 or 6 is pretty much a "veto required" which ruins the point of the challenge. They should have someone test these first to see if it's possible or not before putting them in the game.
@@TheGeladoocould they just go to a hardware store, get a shovel and dig it up relatively quickly?
I am a Kiwi, I'll help clear up any confusion anyone has in this episode:
- Pak 'N' Save is a normal big chain supermarket although I can see why Ben and Adam got Costco vibes.
- Toast bread - That bread is recommended to be used for toast. We also have sandwich bread which tends to be thinner slices than the toast bread. Vogels is a Kiwi brand and it's amazing. Great choice!
Can confirm. Also tasty cheese is a thing. Multiple brands call there cheese tasty
This is my first time learning that other countries don't have toast bread lol
@@milanvujcich America and the UK (? - probably some other places as well) call toast bread for some reason and it's a crime
Vogels are birds in dutch
@@VijoPlaysthe UK had toast bread, there's specific bread made for toasting labeled as such. I have some in the bread bin right now, had it with beans a few nights ago.
The boys are back! Loving the introduction of Toby she has such a great energy. Thanks as always for your amazing work you are so good to us. This season is going to be epic.
I love how trusting Adam is
Good lord watching you discover what a water table is while sat next to a retaining wall was horrifically difficult. But my goodness it's entertaining. ❤️ Keep doing exactly what you're doing guys
Another great episode of "Sam never learns his lesson about leaving things up to chance."
why does everyone hate on sam lol
Toby is a great choice! At least she got a good shot of the nails before ruining them 😬
ikr literally was going through the comments to see if someone else thought about it too
They must have some kind of diamond coating because the design is still intact in episode 2!
I like the chemistry between Toby and Sam. She also seems more invested than Bryan in the last episode and it seems like they make decisions together.
This is genuinely the best game. Very well designed with the simple power up system, the choke points, and challenges unique to the locations.
It was painful to see Sam go through the whole thought process of "They usually go the slow and steady route, and then they get to do the optimal strategy, and I'm NEVER in the lead at the beginning, forcing me into a high-risk sub-optimal strategy" then somehow make the decision to go the wild-card luck-based route anyway.
For those wondering about the bread bring called "toast" it's how the bread is cut. "Toast" bread is generally cut thicker per slice, whereas "sandwhich" bread is cut thinner.
What is the name of the resulting item when sandwich bread is toasted?
Edit: this is a genuine curiosity, not sarcasm.
@@watashiandroid8314 We use sandwich bread to make toast and toast bread to make sandwiches. It's often comes down to more of a preference on how thick you like your bread
@@watashiandroid8314 We still call it toast, although "sandwhich" bread toast generally results in holely toast once buttered.
@Watashi Android There are toast breads and sandwich bread sandwich bread is tougher while toast bread is softer for a better
Cook
@@Frozenfox2224 That's not remotely true. The label is about the thickness of the bread, nothing else. The reason the thicker bread is called toast bread is because it won't burn so easily in a toaster unlike the thinner sandwich bread. There is also Super Thick toast bread as well.
Lovely to see Toby in this episode!! I love her approach to teaching about mathematics. It brings so much joy and takes away so much fear and deficit thinking about mathematics ability for students. :)
Kiwi Jet Lag fan here - watched this season when it came out and just loved seeing my country and my favourite show combined - and now about to start watching it again as "research" for my big adventure this summer. I'm finally graduating university in November and for three years I've been planning to take the summer after uni off to go exploring and see so much more of the country. Let's see where I end up!
Easily the most underrrated show on RUclips. I'm glad y'all are back.
It's not underrated, it's just yet to explode
@@JasperKlijndijk That's like, the meaning of underrated
You HAVE to make real board games from all the seasons. That would actually be pretty sick. Would definitely buy all og them!
That's genius holy crap, they'll be able to take that money and make more content
Or an app or online game (I suggested here too)
But how would that work, I mean, the main thing is doing challenges, how would these challenges work in an actual board game?
I think it's good idea, but at the same time I can't think of how these games could be adapted to something you can just play with your friends in your living room
@@Mill_Jr Maybe you have to compete against other players for states with challenge cards from a card deck? Maybe that advances you to the next part of a path, like the animation for NZ. I'm not sure, but I believe it would be a really fun and interesting concept. If they can create these games in the first place, I believe they have the creativity and talent to make a board game based on the series.
@@Cgaming365 Yes, that's true, they're definitely a lot more creative than I am and they probably could think of something that would work and be fun
TOBY’S NAILS ARE SO AMAZING WHAT
Rewatching from Nebula, after listening to the Layover.
Gotta say, I love being able to see all the moments y'all talked about in a new light.
Toby seems like such a cheer to be around! She will make this season even better than what it will be
Dunes dunes dunes! What a great start and so excited for this series! Toby is a great addition
Let "Dunes! Dunes! Dunes!" be our official chant to express excitement for a new season.
I love the premise of this game. It's great for the game to feature specific locales. It must have taken a lot of creativity to design the entire board, and it'll definitely pay off with the uniqueness of the challenges. This season is going to be like a fun road trip between buddies. I'm stoked to see what it leads to.
Ben: "The thing is, if you forget that fUn FaCt,"
Adam: "YOU DIE."
I was so unprepared for that
I was literally just wondering when the next Jet Lag season would be. This made my day ❤️
Same!
same
Same!
Love how Toby painted her nails with the Jet Lag logo
I‘m so happy the new season started 😍😍
I‘m always so excited when a new episode comes out! One of my favorite content on RUclips! Keep it up guys! 💪
Glad to have you all back and Toby seems like a great addition to the group! And as someone who wouldn't trust the luck route, I feel validated 😂 Excited for next week
You should do a series in Japan one day! It’s got some of the best public transportation in the world, it’s really fun, it’s different from everywhere else you’ve been, it’s safe, it’s got loads of similarly sized prefectures.
Language barrier for both people interaction and signage might be an issue there, but they probably cope somehow.
@@Mimi.1001 People, yes, they all take years of English, but almost none can speak more than a few words, but for signage, Japan is covered with English. Nearly all signage is also in English.
Japan's gonna be very hard. The translation apps can only get you so far. The trains are so confusing and you can't really make too much of a scene. Even in Tokyo you can get asked to leave places if you're filming...
@@AllTheArtsy You don’t need translation apps, they don’t ever talk to anyone, all the signs in Japan have English.
In one of the Nebula special features, they expressed a desire to do a Japan series!
This is so exciting! As always!
And I already love Toby, and that a girl's been brought on board. You guys are so inspirational, and entertaining of course
Definitely going for a Nebula subscription
I just wanted to say thank you for continuing to take the time to make the subtitles and make them easy for everyone to understand who speaks
And tahenk you for taking the time to put some CM's
Those Jet Lag nails are so slay 12:39
Toby is the last guest I would expect for a gameshow this stressful.
Sam has come across as more serious in the last few games, but he looks way more laid-back and like he's having fun this episode, which is great to see. I'm sure having a Kiwi with him will also help with this too
Awesome seeing a race in NZ! Loved seeing you on our local beach too. You got super unlucky with the timing of the tide for trying to dig that hole. Adam and Ben nailed it with the Vogels. Classic Kiwi bread. Looking forward to the rest of the season. 🎉
New Zealand is the best place for season 5!
Just been there it’s so beautiful
As someone from the North of New Zealand, I'm watching this with a completely unreasonable level of excitement to see if they end up in my hometown (although I'm already a little annoyed at how they pronounced a fair few place names)
(also yes vogels is very much an NZ brand)
Bouncy Ben in his overalls just looks so damn cute in the intro of this. I love his whole look, but his energy just makes him so much more adorable heh
12:37 Her nails w yalls Logo is so cool!
"we are digging closer to depression with every scoop" - Toby 😂😂
Woohoo new season!! Can't wait to see if ben and Adam pull a get drunk card again lol
Love how Sam always gets a new partner in these
He’s just too powerful so to slow him down they give him the newbie
You are soo entertaining. When you come out with a new episode I have to watch it all without pausing or fast fawarding and I can never wait for the next Wednesday to come around because I enjoy it so much
Thank you for coming out with a new series. I commented the other day on one of your other channel’s videos asking when the next series was coming out.
I saw Toby's community post about being on Jet Lag and thought it was just a guest spot, she's a fully fledged team member! Mega. Have literally missed the Ben and Adam vibe over the last few weeks as well.
12:36 woooah Toby has Jet Lag nails?? crazy well-done design wow, it's a perfect logo replica! props to her or whoever did her nails :D
OMG... I've purchased a Nebula subscription during the last season so I've already seen this and the next episode. I rewatch it here on YT to see if I've missed anything and for the Algorithm of course...
Long story short: I just now noticed Toby's nail polish!!!! Great job. It's so cool!!! Looking forward to this fantastic season... thank you for this great content
I was planning on waiting to start watching, because I like to watch them in one go. I couldn't wait. Amazing game again! Looking forward to the videos.
Sam : I thought you were a massive jet lag fan
Toby : literally got jet lag logo painted on her nails
the turn around on these seasons is crazy, esp with all the editing required. you guys are awesome
I am so glad Toby is on this season! I’ve been wanting a woman on the cast and she balances Sam’s energy so well
Wow The layover is the actual perfect podcast name. Love you guys
Selecting interesting countries seems a very nice idea, promoting different things in the world, as well as just making things very interesting.
Imagine a race from top of norway to the bottom of greece, that would be mental
@@breadO0 Imagine one from Alaska or Northern Canada to Southern Argentina
@@Mill_Jr that would be too much I feel like, and also the architecture doesn't change for the majority of the ride, that would be pale...
Yeah, I'm glad to see they're focusing on the specific, interesting points rather than a game that could work anywhere.
Ben and Toby bonding is so wholesome
I kind of want them to be a team now. Preferably in something undemanding, like finding a good lunch.
didn´t expect this just was checking out your youtube channel yesterday for some new videos and in what rythm you upload and today look at you go! thanks a lot for creating awesome content! go team ben!
Loved it, so happy to see Toby here, love you guys so much♥️
A New Zealander here, looking forward to seeing how the series goes!
I was surprised to see such a car-focused season at first, but it's cool you're balancing that by having most of the challenges get you out of the cars and into the nature and local cities!
New zealands public transport is garbage, which is probably why it's car focused- a kiwi
@@xZulfur Yeah, as another kiwi there's really no good way for them to make this public transport focused. Even in our biggest city our public transport is terrible.
@@xZulfur I think a public transport based one wouldn't work across any country except European ones or China
@Milton That’s wildly untrue. Most places across Asia, Europe, South America (disregarding trains), and Australia have some form of public transport system. The US is one of very few car-centric countries
@@Mill_Jr pretty widespread in Japan as well, and it'd be a smaller game but I think Israel could have a game as well (barring them not wanting to run afoul of political whatever)
I am so happy to see a new season! I love this channel so much.
seriously I can't believe they come up with such great game ideias everytime, i love this!!
I *love* Toby's nail polish, it's so cute
As a new Zealander who's been the number one fan of this show, this is amazing to see, but sad I didn't see you along the way!!
SO thrilled to see a new season
Toby and her videos are lovely! So happy to see her do this!
I noticed so many things that are cool, Toby has Jet Lag nail paint design and also there is a lot of cobweb behind Ben N Adam’s rear view mirror
I just know I'm gonna love this series. Toby seems to be a great fit for Sam, he deserves a win after all this time. Plus I love her nails!
With those nails, she's clearly gone all-out for the show.
@@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721 It's that little extra thought of "if you let me hold the digital map I can do something fun" which really makes me route for their team lol.
Toby's Jet Lag nails are the best
I am a kiwi so am super stoked to see you guys do a series in New Zealand. Also I visited Coopers beach a few years ago and I vaguely remember trying to dig a really deep hole in the sand when I was there 😂. Even though the 60 minute time penalty is a pain I hope Sam and Toby still managed to enjoy the beach, it is a really beautiful spot 😁
Based on the length of the episode and the progress towards the Southern Tip, this gonna be a long one. Like 10 episodes.
Love to see the Vogel's bread. Ben and Adam chose the toast slice which is thicker than the classic sandwich slice.
I have been waiting for a new season for weeks: here they are! I have been watching since half a year ago and I LOVE your videos. Let’s take a moment to their hard work done🙂
I spent half a year in New Zealand a while ago and I miss it a lot. I am beyond excited to see all these beautiful places from my memories in Jet Lag ✈️ Very much looking forward to this season ❤
Watching Toby doing something competitive is a shocker for how calm she talks in her videos
I love that Toby's nails have the Jet Lag logo that's such a cool little detail she added :)!
Loving the game concept! Can’t wait for the rest of the season
Season 5!!!!! I'm so excited you don't even know!!! Love this show and love you guys
