    Feels like Amy is playing a never ending one-person Taskmaster season.
  • @4thalt
    Amy needs to narrate a video where she explains how she'll torture Sam as an April Fools gag
  • @shayelea
    The fact that they used his birth year as inspiration but didn’t just go with 1,931 miles is wild.
  • @TurnaboutHalifaxHD
    Petition for Amy to have her own video where she discusses whatever she wants
  • @thermitebanana
    I kind of love that Sam made the decision to be a disembodied voice on HAI and Wendover, and we didn't know Adam or Ben's names until Jetlag, but Amy has inserted herself as the only named character in HAI, and we love her

    This made me look up what Forrest Gump's distance was. Turns out his hypothetical journey was over 15,000km, with roughly 5 legs across the US. What's crazy, is someone actually recreated this run in real life, and did it in less than a third of the time it took Forrest in the movie. He wrote a book about it called "Becoming Forrest".

    "And once a Republican and a Democratic congressman at the same time, thus ending partisanship in the United States." Beautiful.

    Amy deserves her health insurance this year! She earned it!
  • @cameron_o
    Poor amy is always doing the worst tasks for her boss
  • @rosswebster7877
    Amy needs to take her boss hostage which would make her the guest host for the HAI video on the logistics of kidnapping and hostage negotiations.
  • @jonathanclay6718
    Any deserves a spot on Jet Lag for all the flack Ben and Adam give her in these videos.
  • @Izzy-Maurer
    "Journalistic integrity of a parrot" Amy cracks me up
  • @ukraineme96
    Hi HAI! Can you do a video about the logistics of holding a big marathon? I ran the Chicago Marathon last year and the sheer number of people that take to the streets for 3-6 hours is absolutely insane. NY is the biggest with ~50k runners. It seems like a LOOOOT of work needs to be done to effectively shut down an entire city so some people can tire themselves out, but I’d like to know the exact amount of work required. Not sure if this is something you would do, or if it would be better suited for that handsome guy at Wendover.

    Sam's dream calorie intake (3:43) actually comes out to 10,008 kCal. Gonna have to go on a diet after that for those extra 8 calories! 😅
  • @ddx4drifts
    Imagine running a meter and saying to yourself, yep, I could use 5 million more of these
  • @megagallade4757
    Was half expecting him to force Amy to run the race herself
  • @rffinances8567
    Well Amy needing to be awake at 5 AM explains why she bought 2 alarm clocks in the previous video.
