I like how the Pizza machine is becoming a recurring character this season.
Why don’t we have them in the US
@@FromRussiaWithLuv007there is some. It rare
As the pizza machine, i can confirm that i appeared on jet lag
I’m in the UK and there is 1 entire vending machine near the Bank Of England!
As well as DB delays being a Jet Lag recurring character
i love ben just nonchalently going "well we could call in a bomb threat"
And Adam immediately following up with: "I just walked through a car full of children."
Dat editing skill 😂💯
All within 2 minutes 😂😅
It's even better when you remember how suspicious Adam sounded at the end of last episode
I love that this is an actual option that runs through the mind of Americans. My freshman year of highschool we had 4 bomb threats within the span of like two months.
Fun fact, DB randomizes their train arrival times to act as an equalization mechanism for anyone playing train tag.
Real
they might aswell do that.
Good old DB (Not for Deutsche Bahn, but: Daheim Bleiben (DB))
Could people then please stop playing train tag so we can travel through Germany by train again?
with the latest episode it feels even more like its randomised XD
As a german I take acceptance of gratitude that our laughling stock of a train system may keep this season from being over within 3 episodes.
"you banking on a derailment?"
"well, we could call in a bomb threat"
ben is hilarious
Bens villain arc is coming and I’m all for it
or maybe he is serious? we will hopefully never find out.
28:50 though i gotta say that pic they posted back to Adam of the Rhine was just pure evil genius!
FBI Open Up
Then Adam immediately says "I just walked through a car that was all children" 😂
Ben is the type of guy to go from taste testing gummi bears to calling in bombs.
And that's him when he's sober.
Desperate times call for desperate measures
Y W N B A W
Ben is absolutely savage when he needs to be, That move of posting back a picture of the Rhine was absolute evil genius on Ben's part, and then seeing Adams panicked expression was hilarious!
@@TheOnlyPixelPuncher you will never be with a woman
Thanks for the Deutsche Bahn for making this more exciting and not so predictable for the contestants
The editing of this was perfection.
"Sam & Ben" what? we want a train derailment?
Cut to Adam:
I saw a train car full of children."
i legit laughed my ass off when i saw that
Don't forget the "We could call in a bomb threat..."
Hi Jet Lag team! I am Sid who met Adam. Story time: I have been a HUGE Jet Lag fan and I have watched every episode on Nebula and the following week on RUclips. Me and my brother (who you can see in the background in blue t-shirt when I am talking to Adam) were in Strasbourg for just one day. I had been raving about Jet Lag to him in the days prior to this encounter with Adam and I had gotten him into watching the earlier seasons. Safe to say he had turned into a fan. So while walking from the Station, both of us immediately recognized Adam running out from a store carrying an orange. I was so confused and thrilled and confused again as to wtf is Adam doing here. I gathered some courage and went ahead and talked to Adam. That was July 8th and I had been WAITING for the episode to air. It did air last Wednesday on Nebula - coincidentally on my birthday. It was a great birthday gift to see myself on the show that I have grown to love watching. Thanks Adam for stopping and talking to me, it made my whole year. And thanks Jet Lag team for creating such an amazing amazing show. You guys rock!
Always meet your heroes, especially when they walk out of a foreign store carrying literally JUST an orange
It was a very cool and wholesome interaction you and Adam had there, glad you enjoyed it and that it even aired on your birthday!
Lol imagine that conversation.
"So how was your day?"
"I sat down for 15 minutes to watch a guy cut an orange.. with a playing card..."
This is really cool! Crazy to think this was during the French heat wave!
happy late birthday!
As a German I can say that he should have looked if the train that he thought he missed because his first train was delayed might not have also been delayed and he could have caught it. never assume a train is on time, you might catch a train you think you missed. the DB app is actually very good at providing that kind of info in real time.
Not a german but from what I heard about DB I was relatively sure his original train plan was delayed too
34:10 from what I understand the train he thought he missed was indeed also delayed and he could have taken it, problem is Ben and Sam could have gotten to Münster before that and caught him in the station
Him screaming at the departure screen "None of this makes any sense" is very much the essence of traveling by train in Germany though.
@@pialba The train to Emden on that board is not the one he originally wanted to catch, it's a later one with a planned departure of 19:31 (but 20 minute delay on top).
He wouldn't have worried about missing that one "if he gets to Münster 6 minutes late" with a planned arrival at 19:00.
Last year I had this situation twice: 50 min layover, at the platform 20 minutes early, despite a 40 minute delay of my next train.
But there is a train to my destination. It's the previous train, which is also 40 minutes delayed...
Frenchy here : The children in the train are travelling under the responsiblity of the train personnel, their parents can frop them at departure, and someone (for example grandparents) will pick them up upon arrival at destination. It's a tremendously practical way of sending your children on vacation without accompanying them and having to make the entire trip.

As an American, something about this makes me extremely confused and jealous. Like a society actually being so safe that you can trust that your children will be protected without your nearly constant presence. There are laws in the US against this, as it is seen as neglectful.
I’m not trying to bash this, it just feels like this is a level of social trust that could never be fostered in American communities that are reminded constantly about pedophiles, shooters, rapists, and physically/verbally aggressive homeless, and that kinda makes me sad to think that we are forced to monitor our children to an almost detrimental degree. To the point where the world around them confuses and bewilders them. Safety of the children is not seen as a social responsibility in America, but as a non-negotiable parental obligation. I would love and wish for my future children to have this level of freedom, and it’s kinda painful to consider how massively incompatible such wishes are with the reality that will come to be when I do become a parent.
@@empiricalandinquirical2435 childen are just little adults, how does america want to "produce" responsible adults when not letting them a bit off the leash as children?
@@martinum4 alternatively, adults are just big children
Adam singing Starships and immediately following it up with "Ninki Minjaj" is a direct quote from one of the new zealand episodes, and the fact he remembers it word for word is hilarious to me
That in itself is a reference to a popular Vine from many years ago by comedian Cole Hersch where he briefly sings that song and pauses before saying “Ninki Minjaj.” It’s an internet pop culture staple at this point
it makes me wonder how often he does that and it just doesn't make it to the final edit
Time stamp?
@@elinoamrichter162 14:28
😂😂
The psychological warfare of Sam and Ben texting back another picture is delightful! Can't wait for disguise 3.0
i read that and watched the scene at the same time 😂
I love that Adam seemed to actually fall for it (at least for a bit) too
It would be really funny if that got him to waste 1000 coins to see where the seekers are and they're still like 2 hours behind
It's pure evil and I love it
I love how the moment he gets into Germany, all his plans start to crumble : all the trains are delayed, and th signaling is confusing. I hear a lot of jokes about this being typical in Germany, but it's very funny to see this phenomenon on Jetlag too 😂
It is a problem that has steadily gotten worse in germany, since the Deutsche Bahn was privatised. I even commented on the last video that it was quite mean that Adam hat to go so far into germany :D
It is so bad that trains going from germany to switzerland have swiss trains waiting behind the border because the german trains are late so often that it is unacceptable for switzerland.
I agree, but for me as a german it's funny to see him always looking at the wrong thing too.
Ahahahahahaha
As a German it's literally the most normal thing (I've never really had a reliable train in forever) and living in Karlsruhe, it's really bad.
Honestly, being 20 min late on a 400km journey is pretty good for current DB standards. That he couldn't find one of the departure boards or that he didn't have any of the apps where he could have looked it up beforehand is just inexperience.
Didn't Germany used to be known for its efficiency? Are these train delays a more recent thing?
The production team just saying no to Chew Chew Chew: Derailed in favor of the snack zone is hilarious.
Well I think if I remember correctly Ben and Adam edit a lot of these videos
Ben: “you think Adam has ever punched anyone”
Sam: *with full certainty and confidence* “oh yeah. Yeah”
*cut to Adam singing Starships by Nicki Minaj and yelling “wheeee” like an absolutely innocent child because he was running under a bridge*
I don’t think I’ve seen anything better in the series so far than Adam running under the bridge shouting ‘weeeeee’ with the broken audio 😂💀🤣
Exactly my thoughts lmao
FRFR
I spat out my soup when I saw that
just what i was thinking
fr
That was was funnier than it had any right of being
I haven’t even finished this but as a German I’m pretty sure Sam & Ben have nothing to worry about once the Deutsche Bahn gets involved
It's probably a good thing Adam has the northeastern goal, Deutsche Bahn balances out the fact that he's so good at this.
Yeah he definitely would have won by now if it weren't for Deutsche Bahn
@@livethefuture2492Actually, the thing that ended it for him was the ferry schedules and not Deutsche Bahn.
Adam running under a bridge while yelling yeeh with distorted audio is something I never thought I would ever see
Adam’s “Weeeee!!!!” under the bridge with the distorted audio had my dying 🤣
Adam saying WEEEEEEEEEEEE while the audio craps out and he runs under a bridge is peak jet lag
i once thought my headphone was broken 🤣
I was laughing so hard 🤣
it's almost vocoded it's great
that kid behind Adam at 31:58 definitely is some sort of paid actor Sam hired to troll Adam
I came to the comments to see if anyone else saw him😂😂
I saw him as well and was just like “Adam’s getting bombed on video! XD”
Me too, so funny😂@@shanewilliamson5275
what that the bomb threat Ben was on about haha@@scottishboy112
What, you can't imagine anyone trolling in the background of a vlog for free?
“Well we could call in a bomb threat”
YES FOR YOU SEE, IT WAS I, BENJAMIN, WHO PLANTED THE BOMB IN THIS TRAIN TO WIN A GAME OF TAG
I hope i didn't miss it being a rule but:
It is astonishing to me that neither of the boys has recognized the "cheat" of TALKING to PEOPLE. Anouncement on the train you don't understand? --> Ask someone on the train! Can't find a departure board? --> Ask someone! Can't figure out if/by how much a train is late? ASK SOMEONE!! Trust in the kindness of strangers/ fellow travellers! Love watching your stuff! Keep it up!
Oh Adam, don't you know?
In Europe we have the tradition to send our youngens out on a three year train ride, at the age of 4. We give them a little ruckasck full of mayonnaise and cigarettes and of they go. Those who come back can enter elementary school. It's beautiful, really. HAI should make a video about it.
If you don't learn train schedules by heart at age 3 you'll never make it. Only the strong ones survive.
@@unicorntulkas This video illustrates perfectly, what Deutsche Bahn does to those, who didn't make the train trial.
it's natural selection at its finest
"And mayonnaise"
What actually happened though? @cyberfutur5000
2:07 Oh I know that one! So SNCF (French national train company) has a service called "Junior & cie" where you only book a ticket for your children and not yourself, and they travel accompanied by one or two SNCF employees instead of their parents, a bit like if they were in summer camp. And so, for convenience and security, all children travelling under this service are booked into the same car, so that employees looking after them can have them all in one place. So that's probably the car Adam walked through there
Could also just be a school trip and Adam didn't notice the teachers.
that's cool! so one car in the train is like a school bus!
Kinda like the US baby mailing service, lol!
His comment reminded me of coming back from europe late at night with scouts this summer - there were 70 of us 16-25 (give ur take a couple of older leaders) all in full uniform. At one point a drunk football fan came into the carriage and you could see his face go ‘wtf’
@@tonTeufel or a summer camp
the juxtaposition of "you think adam ever punched a guy??" "oh yes. definitely" to him singing starships while frolicking in the street made me laugh more than I have in a very long time. thank you jetlag
Ninki minjaj
“What do you think Adam’s up to? You know what he’s not up to?”
“Being chill”
BEN 💀 why is he in his villain arc in this season
Adam really did himself a disservice not downloading the official Deutsche Bahn App, considering how he's got to cover this much distance within Germany. It's not gonna improve the delays but it's actually a surprisingly efficient app, giving you all your important information concerning platforms and delays sometimes days ahead and it allows you to search for the quickest alternate route in case you miss a connection, making bookings and seat reservations on the fly. A must-have with a railway company as chaotic as DB.
This reminds me of last month when I had to change trains in Hamburg and they just decided to stop in Altona station instead of Hbf with about 10 minutes notice. And it reminds me to send the envelope to get my 50% back. Why'd you have to locate Germany so centrally in Europe that I need to deal with this as a non-German 😂
I‘m pretty sure they have used the DB app in the past and they would also need it to buy tickets. 🤔
@@cdhagen No they used eurail (i.e. interrail for non-europeans) which got them into a bit of trouble in france because you run into the reservation/supplement quota for tgv's. It still saves a lot of money over buying fully flexible tickets on the day for all trips
As an American, we have no clue what you're talking about.
@@TheSpiritombsableyeThen get a clue
The psychological game of sending him a picture of the Rhine is so funny.
Ironically it may have harmed them because Adam otherwise wouldn't have been so cautious when he arrived in Münster
@@OntarioTrafficManthe runner is Adam right now but yeah I agree
@@zthehuman7051 oh wow oops. I've corrected the comment
The transition at 25:44 from a random background music to the Snack Zone theme is perfect: it's on the same key, and perfectly ON BEAT. It's so beautiful. 😍
The DB is an unintentional comeback mechanic in jetlag at this point
i love how the snack zone keeps on getting shorter and shorter to the point where the intro is longer than the snack zone itself 😭
That strategic cut in the red bull feature
Why does it taste like this?
As long as they don't replace it with Choo Choo Chew Derailed (which is clearly an inferior version), I don't care.
As a german, the second I saw that Adam's connection included 3 interchanges in Germany I knew he wouldn't make it all the way :v
Sad Adam can’t win the challenge. No matter what he’s gonna do, Deutsche Bahn is unpredictable 😂
And as a German I can say for certain that any interchange that's less than 15 minutes is a gamble (ideally, you want 20+ minutes)
Same xD.... Wegen technischer Probleme werden wir jetzt drei Stunden hier am Arsch der Welt stehen bleiben und *warten*
This. When i saw his plan, my reaction was "Yep, he's gonna miss a train or something.
@@Chrischi3TutorialLPs Especially the because of the transfer in Münster, I was like no way this dude will get to Lingen before 8 PM 💀
2 snack zones?? Okay banger episode.
+Amy and Tristan cameos? LEGENDARY episode
Just wanted to say thank you to Deutsche Bahn for having "punctual" trains! They really went above and beyond to make sure Adam doesn't get off too easy.
32:00 The guy who was making faces behind Adam while he is literally desperate that his train is so late is just so stupidly funny.
Absolutely hysterical
Can only imagine them seeing him in editing and was like "this mf"
Imagine sitting on a Deutsche Bahn train and getting up exactly when it is supposed to arrive at your destination. Guys I thought you learned your lesson the last time you were in germany
Which is funny because that Train was the EC6 which is a SBB (Swiss Federal) Train. Which is also not exactly low speed rail, at least not by the German definition. I wonder how these categories were decided by the Jetlagged Team.
@@RayquasafreakIt came up on the last season that they just decided that tgv/thalys and ice were high speed and everything else low speed and they acknowledged that it is problematic, but they needed to draw the line somewhere. Especially for Germany where the actual speed difference between IC and ICE strongly varies.
@@RusNad Exactly. We have regional rail that can go up to 200km/h (eg. München-Nürnberg-Express) and we have intercity service that can't even go beyond 160km/h (IC2 as Twindexx variant). I think the definition should be drawn by long haul and short haul train (which usually corresponds to higher/lower speed anyway)
@@RusNad Except that is an almost gamedefining simplification, given that we're in a transitional phase where the same trains on the same schedules at different weekdays or times of the day are either IC or ICE, but take equal amounts of time. There is a "Sprinter" IC Line that goes from Cologne to Hamburg in 4 stops and 4 hours, which is much faster than most ICE lines on that route.
I suppose its not as bad given that they seem to have almost no idea of the network beyond google maps, but it still is a headscratcher given that there is an official definition in Germany what counts as high s peed rail and what doesnt.
@@Rayquasafreak In fairness, they recognised that it's problematic but kept the rules of the original season intact, imperfections and all. In the end, the game is pretty balanced and open-ended.
The German distance-based classification doesn't translate well to other countries and the main point of having the premium for high speed trains is to disincentivise 300km/h runs a bit or at least make them work for it.
To really close all the loopholes you would need to have more than 2 categories or some kind of mathematical model based on time and distance and it would become too much of a fuss to keep track of your coin balance if you'd need to be calculating stuff constantly. I also don't blame them for not having detailed knowledge of the system when there is so much else to plan for. In the end you also want to keep it simple for your viewers.
0:55 “why did you catch me here?” “Why did you go here!?” There are so many emotions in Sam’s voice right there 😂
25:59 most accurate description of the taste of a Red-bull ever
Adam being cool and letting Sid sit in and join him while he cuts that orange in half is so great. This man is so cool.
Imagine them being in Germany and then the DB is being the DB
Chilling in germany and then the train to the Munich Hauptbahnhof is delayed by 3 days
look there first "We Played a 72 Hour Game of Tag Across Europe" , its DB at its best...
@@thore2455 True, I still remember laughing hard at the fact that every plan of Sam was getting destroyed by the DB
They should do this only in Germany. Would be fun. (For us. not for them)
Putting his endpoint in Germany is such a handicap
was worried this season would end in 2 episodes, but then the Deutsche Bahn struck lmao
*adam and sid literally and knowingly chilling*
*cut to ben and adam*
"you know what adam's NOT up to? chilling-"
After these adventures in Germany, i'm starting to think Adam has a better shot of reaching Borkum if he goes through the Netherlands instead...
The hunters have the same problem.
He should have taken the High speed train between Frankfurt and Köln. He would be 2 hours ahead
@@burgerpommes2001money though
Same, the Dutch trainsurvice is far from perfect, but it aint that bad😮
The problem is that there is no eastern north-south main line in the Netherlands like the line from Münster to Emden. You would have to enter the Netherlands through Arnhem, Hengelo or Enschede (or Heerlen/Venlo if he decided very early), then change at both Zwolle and Groningen so it would take a while assuming it even lines up with the ferry schedule at all.
But yes, when you get there it is satisfying to hear the conductor whistle just as the minute hand of the clock moves to the scheduled time of departure (most of the time)...
Also fun fact: the lines aren't connected up north because a ship crashed into a railway bridge in Germany in 2015 and Germany hasn't come around to repairing it yet 😂
Torschlusspanik comes from the middle ages. It refers to the anxiety (panik) you get, when you realize that the gates (Tor) to the city will close (schluss) shortly. So it would literally translate to gate-closing-anxiety.
Like wandering around the airport and hearing that your flight is boarding. Or more abstractly noticing that your college years are almost over and you haven't lived your best years yet.
My native language is german and I have never heard this word before😂
@@UnExcited42 yeah the meaning is pretty obvious but, still the first time I've ever heard this word though. I'm also from Austria everyone speaks in a dialect so maybe the word is more common in upper Germany, but tbh I have no idea
I‘m from Austria and i know this word, but I only know it in the sense of „someone is getting older and is in fear of staying alone“ 😂
@@UnExcited42Im Austrian and have never heard it, from those options it was clear which one it was, but still, never heard it
@@UnExcited42I wouldn't say that... using the word "Schluss" with it's meaning to shut something rather than the end of something is rather old and uncommon nowadays. It's so uncommon that many people think (there are even articles about this misconception) the word is "TorSCHUSSpanik" and that it refers to the panic a football team gets when they have to score a goal in the the last seconds of a football match to get a draw or a win
“You think Adam has ever punched anyone?”
*Cuts to Adam jogging singing Starships* 😂😂😂
This was the best reaction we could have gotten on the second snack zone - why does it taste like this?
Also… German trains… we all have seen it coming 😂 couldn’t wait for it - this is going to be fun!
Adam putting on a disguise is like his version of Ben getting drunk lol
What would be Sam's version then?

@@makulkamala7108 Fair enough
28:50 XD, Ben is an absolute Savage! That move of posting back a picture of the Rhine was just pure Evil Genius. And Adams reaction to it was just priceless!
25:58 that must be the most accurate description of redbull i've ever heard
This is honestly one of my favorite episodes of jet lag ever, something just really hits about Adam getting super excited doing all these challenges by himself while Ben and Sam just hang out and chill. Also ✨️guns✨️ really got me
German here. "Torschlusspanik" literal translation "Fear of closing gates" (Tor = Gate, Schluss = close, Panik = Fear) comes from the middle ages when the Gates of the City were closed at night and if you did not make it back in time, they were closed for you.
So like maze runner
Never heard of this word before. I`m a native speaker and I could not answer this question. Quite a bizare question.
@@jakob_se it is an old Word. Rarely used nowadays. A lot of German words that are popular with english speakers are very obscure.
Adam really experiencing Torschlusspanik at the end there! 😂
Thank you DeutscheBahn.
@@jakob_se Same. I just heard it in a english video talking about german words. It's just one of these weird words english speakers pick up like Weltschmerz or something that almost no actual german uses. That being said, although I never heard of it, I did understand the meaning of Torschlusspanik. It's just a pretty intuitive metaphor

Yess!!!
this may be my favourite ever episode of Jet lag. An amazing run by adam, particularly racking up that many coins so quickly. And im intrigued by the ben/sam dynamic we have going on 🍕👒
I like the confusion of Adam not finding the Train-Information Board because he was at the north tunnel of Münster Main Station. If he had taken the southern tunnel, he would have gotten into the main hall with the Information board. Speaking as a citizen of Münster
"We could call in a bomb threat."
"I just walked through a car that was all children."
I've never laughed harder at a moment of Jet Lag! INCREDIBLE editing there!
do you know the timestamp I cant find it
@@ceticx 1:53
Maybe you could make the game on the whole scale of Europe? But instead of points on the outside of a circle, it’s waypoints/point markers. Would make it a lot more exciting (and costly)
I agree, having the game set only in western Europe makes it a bit boring after a while. I wanna see them catching some Romanian trains instead :D
Have fun travelling eastern europe @@Kiwi2703
Good idea but eastern europe is kinda in war right now
@@laforce1518”We played a 72 hour game of tag across the Russia/Ukraine battlefield”
The issue with that idea is that the further East you go, the crappier the public transport, especially rail, gets
Awwwwww YEAH! So glad you guys are doing a season 2, if you want to call it that. I absolutely love this show/contest/game. The randomness, the not knowing what could happen next, the fun of seeing parts of Europe I haven't been to, etc.
I love the person at 31:59 making silly faces at the camera while Adam is trying to figure out the trains
lmao i noticed that
"Sänk ju for träwelling, wis Deutsche Bahn..."
The horrid german train system continues to be one of the most amusing parts of these videos
It ain't that bad.

Not as bad as Sam's odyssey in Cologne the last time. Or as my last 10 train trips

@@nubplaisgaims8250 Cool. That train that was late was the EC6. Ring a bell? Swiss Train, SBB. So yes, could be a lot better. ;)
love how adam is now closer to his target location in ep2 than any of them did in s1
3:00 I love that the inscriptions have different colors and that they change position so as not to cover anything
Now 34:35 is some real Torschlusspanik.
“We could call in a bomb threat” 💀💀
At 15:00 the „wheeeeeeeeeeeee“ together with the broken audio was somehow the most menacing part of the challenge.
Ahahahahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The guy in the back who's just making faces at the camera while Adam's worrying about the train is class! can't even see his face but we all can see what he's doing
27:50 the Rhine valley line is incredibly beautiful, I highly recommend checking it out!
Love the video as always!
Sam seems like he's enjoying himself much more than in the previous seasons and not letting the competition get in the way of that! :)
If you see him in Crime Spree and now it's like a different person
Don't you have to love the DB. As a german I can tell you that the experience they're having is far from abnormal. I regularly take the train to work and I rarely get there without at least 5 min of delay. Actually any delay under 5 minutes is not even considered a delay from the DB.
damn over here in croatia everything less than an hour isn'''t considered a delay, and track speeds are half of german ones even in best case. It takes the "fast" train 6 hours to go 200 km.
Its everything under 10 minutes i believe
Ok I was a bit worried with how clean Adam's run was looking given the enormous head start he had the chasers, so I'm glad that it balanced out again. Would have been a very short season otherwise haha
Beeing German myself, I must say i enjoyed adams panic in münster hauptbahnhof more than anything else out of all seasons of jetlag … just DB doing DB things😂
Bro missed the departure board that is huge and literally in front of you twice. It's also like the easiest thing to figure out, you got your train and the time it departs.
when he headed for the buses I thought he was going for the S50. either sneaking over Ibbenbüren or heading for the FMO.
If you're travelling by train in Germany, definitely make use of the DB App.
Also, Adam was on a Swiss InterCity train for the last few hours, so I'm not sure I would count that as a regional train service...
Yeah, the fact that Adam did not know the platform tells me he's exclusively using the Interrail planner. Bad idea! You should always use the local one for up-to-date information. Interrail doesn't have platforms, delays and sometimes even misses entire trains!
Exactly, which regional train would have a Restaurant waggon with proper tablecloths?
Yep that was the Eurocity train from Zürich, capable of 200 km/h so definitely a bit of cheating there.
If the train is traversing the rhine-route it will hardly qualify as high speed rail, given you will rarely even reach 160 kph.
@@Skullair313 The question is if you only want to consider the speed or how many stops there are on the way as well.
I love how good they are with fans
HOW am I just now discovering this channel!?!? Amazing content. Love the idea so much!
Ben and Adam's strategies both bewilder and are genius to me.
We have almost the same pfp lol
The strat of just doing whatever seems convenient absolutely destroys Sam’s planning skills.
I don’t know. I liked Bens bomb threat plan
Regarding the question of children traveling alone @ 2:15 : in France you can drop your child off at the train station on some lines, they travel together in big groups supervised by a few adults
so kind of like our unaccompanied minor program for planes.
Yeah europe in general is a lot safer than american cities so you can just have your kids fuck around.
TL;DR: Europe isn't North America helicopter parenting.
Me: audio distortion Adam can't hurt you. Audio distortion adam:
The fact that Adam did not know the platform tells me he's exclusively using the Interrail planner. Bad idea! You should always use the local one for up-to-date information. Interrail doesn't include platforms, delays and sometimes even misses entire trains!

15:05 really got me laughing there
Same lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Adam was on a challenge completing streak! This man could not be stopped! What a man, what a story!
Let's be honest here, the person in the background at 31:58 is the real star of this season.
🐐
🗿
I like how he sneaks away at the end.
This the one of my favourite shows to watch
the end is gonna be frickin' heart racing
7:25 unfortunately for Adam, it's not "Torsch-luss-panik", but"Tor-schluss-panik". It literally means "gate closing panic".
Side note, I'm German and I've never heard that word, so even I wasn't sure what it was supposed to mean.
If you're German and you've never heard that word, you must have not spent much time around other humans.
@@Dymethylz I'm not gonna deny that, but it might also be because I'm quite young and that phrase seems to be pretty old.
Thanks, I thought it was just me who never heard that word before😂
Yeah, I mean you wouldn't really come into contact with that word a lot until you get to an age where Torschlusspanik actually becomes relevant. So being young is definitely a valid excuse for not knowing it. 😅
It is a rather old and uncommon word. Nowadays it's mostly used by older folks in relation to woman in their mid thirties who want to get married and have kids while they still can. And on top of that, many of the people who do know it, think it's "TorSCHUSSpanik" and that it relates to the panic of a football team that has to score a goal in the last seconds of a match.
Australia would be a good next series, sydney and melbourne have great public transport networks and would be great for chases
I'm so happy to see another tag series!
It is so funny to see Adam getting the full experience of Deutsche Bahn
When Adam scored the last card i thought he for sure got the win but a second later once he said "We are going to germany" i knew the chasers still had a chance lmao. Gotta love DB
I need a second opinion, at 32:42, right after adam says he's here, is the person in the background saying "jet lag"; I'm rather shure I heard that
omg I heard that too
Can't wait for the next episode! Loving this series so much ❣️
Babe wake up, the greatest RUclips show on earth just dropped another episode
As for the children on the TGV, I may not be French, but I know most European national railways offer some kind of child transportation service, so that children can safely travel between divorced parents living in different parts of the country. They'll typically all be in the same car, with an educated attendant there that's a professional at dealing with children. In Denmark where I'm from they even made a kids TV show built upon the premise of this service, based on kids forming friendships and rivalries during these trips with plans to become rap stars. Its called PendlerKids if anyone is curious.
But also god what an episode. Classic Deutsche Bahn.
“Do you think adam has ever punched anyone”
“ oh yeah!”
The cut to adam singing nicki Minaj is iconic! The editing on this is amazing!
Background guy at 32:04 is the real hero of this episode!
Man I'm so dissapointed. adam damn near nailed all 4 challenges he needed to get straight to his win point and I couldnt be more excited but this isnt the finale episode which means something has to go wrong and that is gut-wrenching for me
Edit: write the comment mid episode. I'm really hoping this works out for adam
23:05 Deutsche Bahn is SO reliable.
Since it was mentioned now the 2nd time in a video that Strasburg is in Germany: Even though it was "debated" over for centuries, currently Strasburg is not located in Germany ;-) As part of Elsass-Lothringen it switched ownership between France and Germany quite a few times and has settled in France after WW2.
