00:00Every second counts in aviation.
00:02Welcome to episode 4 of our giant game of Snake across South Korea.
00:07In this game, the Snaker is riding trains, trying to make the longest line possible without hitting their line.
00:13Meanwhile, their opponents are the blocker.
00:15They make guesses about where the Snaker is going and try to put obstacles in their way.
00:19We're two rounds in. I'm in first at 456.8 kilometers, Ben is in second at 247.8 kilometers,
00:26and now it's Adam's turn to see how far he can get.
00:28The bad news for him is that he's starting in a tough spot.
00:32While this station, Zio Gyanju, looks like it has a lot of ways out,
00:35the truth is that he only has two options before game day ends.
00:39Wait 45 minutes and go this way, or sit around for over two hours and then this way.
00:44And the news gets even worse.
00:46Ben and I, the blockers, have a route that allows us to put obstacles in front of both of Adam's paths before he's able to leave.
00:52So what is Adam to do?
00:54Well, let's go to him to find out.
00:56Okay. Well, it is 3.15. It is the start of my run.
01:02And the choice before me is ultimately a relatively simple one.
01:07There's a train in about 45 minutes up towards Dong Hay, where Sam came from.
01:11And there's a train in about two and a half hours west towards Dong Daegu on the high-speed line.
01:15And I have to pick which one to take.
01:16Now, how do I decide which one to take?
01:19Well, I have to figure out what they did.
01:23I think 15 minutes ago, they got on a train up towards Dong Hay.
01:27I think that actually right about now, they are getting off that train in Pohang.
01:31I think that in Pohang, they are going to wait about 45 minutes until my train up there would leave.
01:38And then they're going to put down a roadblock.
01:39It's certainly an interesting sight.
02:01Yeah, they're, I mean, they're sort of building the heck out of this place.
02:06Okay, Sam, let's see what our initial cards are.
02:11Card number one.
02:13Guess a Korean word.
02:16Guess Korean.
02:17Find any word written in Korean that does not have a visible English translation.
02:21Correctly guess what the word is.
02:23You have three attempts.
02:25You may not do this in a train station.
02:27That?
02:27I think we can do that.
02:31Curse of the nothing.
02:34Curse of the nothing.
02:35This curse has no effect.
02:40We thought this one would be funny to put in.
02:42I advocated for this hard.
02:44Just a curse that does nothing.
02:47I actually would advocate that we probably should put curse of the nothing on this line if we don't get a better one.
02:52Very possibly, yeah.
02:53And our last card, taste test bulldog.
02:57Taste test bulldog.
02:59While blindfolded, taste and correctly identify three kinds of bulldog noodles.
03:04Oh, well, okay, that was a pretty good draw.
03:06We got two roadblocks and a curse.
03:08And a curse.
03:09I say...
03:10But we could play both a curse and...
03:12And a roadblock.
03:13Yeah.
03:13I say we put the curse down.
03:15It wouldn't actually do anything to him if he got on the...
03:18It'd make him...
03:19It'd make him...
03:20Line, but...
03:22Oh, this is juicy.
03:24This is juicy.
03:24Let's play curse of the nothing on this line.
03:27Just to do what we can to stop him from going on it.
03:36Okay, well, that's very interesting.
03:38They put a curse on the line to Dong-He.
03:40What this means to me is that they didn't draw a roadblock.
03:44Does that mean I should go up that line?
03:46So now we've got a curse on this line.
03:53Hopefully that's going to discourage him.
03:55But I think we can do more.
03:57Let's do one of those two roadblocks here.
03:59I think we'll do our best with the Korean word.
04:02All right.
04:02Let's do it.
04:03Let's just start looking around for words.
04:06Like, Sam, I bet that the word on top of that car means, like, taxi, right?
04:11Well, let's look.
04:14It's the same on both.
04:15Like, that is the same as that.
04:19Let's see if we see some more instances of that.
04:22All right.
04:22Well, we are left with simply no choice but to explore Siogyeongju.
04:26We will be here for a while.
04:29So let's find something to do, I guess.
04:36All right.
04:36Well, it seems like there's a town this way.
04:39So I guess let's walk this way.
04:42Okay.
04:43We're out of the station.
04:45I am seeing the same characters on a lot of taxis.
04:51Yeah.
04:52I think it's worth one guess.
04:54I agree.
04:54It's worth a shot.
04:55Yeah.
04:56Maybe we have three guesses.
04:59Import.
05:00What does it translate to?
05:02Individual.
05:04Translates to individual.
05:06Is that...
05:06No, that's definitely the text.
05:08It means private taxi.
05:09Okay.
05:10Well, that's not great.
05:11Um, I don't love that.
05:14All right.
05:14We've got two more guesses.
05:16Not seen a whole lot.
05:18No.
05:22Wait, some trash.
05:27Wait a minute.
05:28You think that means expiration?
05:31Well, let's see if we see it elsewhere.
05:33Same thing.
05:34Yeah.
05:37It's definitely that.
05:39But here's the problem, Ben.
05:40Is it expiration?
05:43Is it expired by?
05:45Is it best by?
05:46Is it purchased by?
05:49I don't know.
05:55Surely, could that mean won?
05:59Oh, yeah.
06:00Probably, right?
06:02Yeah.
06:03Because those are definitely prices.
06:05Yeah.
06:06Yeah.
06:07It's got to mean won.
06:09I have some won.
06:10Well, here.
06:11Well, let me...
06:12It's not.
06:16Yeah.
06:17Look, let's do it.
06:18We've got one more guess if we get this wrong.
06:20Okay.
06:21I want to get this roadblocked down before Adam's train would leave.
06:24All right.
06:25We're locking it in?
06:26We're locking it in.
06:27All right.
06:28Let's see.
06:29It's won.
06:31All right.
06:31All right.
06:32I'll see you next time.
06:42All right.
06:43All right.
06:44All right.
06:44All right.
06:45Base44. I created an app to follow daily habits that help users to follow their humor,
06:50reflect on the previous notes and see how they evolved.
06:54He is totally functional and I didn't write a single line of code.
06:58You start explaining your idea, what you want to do, the functionality, the visual and the experience.
07:05Now it's just watching Base44 doing your magic, drawing a interface, creating data and structuring a logic.
07:13It's like asking for a team of engineers, designers and specialists in product to transform your vision, instantaneously.
07:20Now it's just going to evolve.
07:22I'm adding a dark mode, more smooth transitions and guarantee total compatibility in any device.
07:28The best part is that you can follow your flux.
07:31Without obstacles, without changing tools, just continue creating.
07:36Start with your idea. Base44 does the rest.
07:43The best part is to keep you in your mind.
07:46Next, I am trying to build a car.
07:49I need to make up a car.
07:51It's possible to keep you in your mind.
07:53I want to be able to keep you in your mind.
07:55If you want to you, I need to find out very quickly.
07:56You're doing my best.
07:58I want to keep you in your mind.
08:01I want to keep you in your mind.
08:04You could keep me in here.
08:06We didn't dig through trash for nothing.
08:21Hey, Ben, we won.
08:23We won!
08:25We won.
08:26Okay, tell Adam that there's a roadblock here in freaking Pohang.
08:30I forgot where we were for a second.
08:32Is he going to face down a curse and a roadblock?
08:35He'd have to be crazy.
08:37He'd have to be freaking crazy.
08:42All right, well, they have also put down a roadblock.
08:45So that, I would say that kind of ends the discussion about going up there, doesn't it?
08:52Not doing it.
08:54Snack time.
09:05Now, let's get back to the station.
09:08Yeah.
09:09And go to Dong Daegu.
09:11All right, let's freaking do it.
09:12We're doing great, Ben.
09:13Yeah, look, it's a strong start to the round for us.
09:16I'm feeling good.
09:17Yeah, if I were him, I would be heading to Dong Daegu.
09:20But the good news, Sam, is that we will beat him there.
09:23All right.
09:31Dong Daegu.
09:32Oh, shit.
09:35My bag is so heavy.
09:37They should have just got on the train headed back here.
09:47So this is just footage we can cut to to kind of, you know, break things up.
09:53You know, they're headed back here.
09:55I'm eating my noodles.
09:57This is the situation.
09:59You can cut back to them now.
10:10Okay, Sam, we're actually about to pass through an extra super special secret note that's not even on the map.
10:18Choo, choo, choo.
10:19No.
10:20Choo?
10:21It's the snack zone.
10:22No, we're in the snack zone.
10:23Welcome to the snack zone.
10:24I'm hearing.
10:29So today in the snack zone, we are trying these turtle chips.
10:36These are corn soup flavored.
10:39I guess they're turtle shaped.
10:40I guess they're kind of turtle shaped.
10:42Cheers.
10:49That tastes nothing like turtles.
10:50This is like a top tier snack zone snack, by the way.
11:01How many chews on a chew?
11:03They'll never know.
11:08Look at these developments.
11:09It's crazy.
11:11Yeah.
11:15That's what we think are Jerry's part.
11:20Well, we've made it to Dongdaegu.
11:33Let's just at the speed of we get to draw another card.
11:36Here we go.
11:37The huddle challenge.
11:42Well, we all have the same reaction to that.
11:44I mean, look.
11:45Yeah, okay.
11:46Well, this is sort of a classic high-risk, high-reward question.
11:50I don't know.
11:52This is tough, Ben.
11:53This is tough.
11:54Okay, this led to a very long strategy discussion,
11:57and our mics weren't working great.
11:58So here's the basics.
11:59At first, we basically saw two options.
12:01The first was to try to put down a roadblock in Dongdaegu right now
12:05to force Adam to go north,
12:06which would be good because those lines are much slower.
12:09Our fear, though, was that a roadblock might not be enough to scare Adam away.
12:13And if he cleared the roadblock,
12:15he'd have a straight shot on the high-speed line all the way up to Yongsin.
12:18The second option was to gamble.
12:20Wait until he would be just about to hit Dongdaegu,
12:23put down the battle challenge,
12:24and try to end his run right there.
12:27The trouble was that we wouldn't have time to prep for the battle,
12:29and again, if he made it past us,
12:31he'd get on the high-speed line.
12:33We spent probably 20 full minutes debating this,
12:36but then we realized there was a secret third option.
12:40Here's the other thing we could do.
12:41We could declare the battle challenge early.
12:44If we declared the battle challenge early,
12:45I think that he would definitely not come here.
12:48No.
12:48And he would definitely come here.
12:49Yeah, that is true.
12:51I really don't want him getting on the high-speed line.
12:54I think we can beat him as long as we prevent him from getting on the high-speed line.
12:58My fear, though, is that we throw away our battle challenge to dissuade him here,
13:04and we just don't see one again.
13:06I think, I know, it's a risk we have to take, I think.
13:10Yeah, okay.
13:12Okay, camera.
13:13Okay, audience.
13:15We've talked through this for like 20 minutes now,
13:18and I think we're in loose agreement that, like,
13:21we just can't give him that chance to get that huge high-speed play.
13:25Okay, do it.
13:27Do it?
13:27Okay.
13:27He's going to be so confused.
13:30He'll have to assume that we misplayed, I think.
13:33All right, lock it in.
13:35Stop asking me.
13:36All right, I'm doing it.
13:37I'm sending it.
13:37I'm sending it.
13:38Freaking out.
13:39Okay.
13:40Okay.
13:40Well, it's finally just about time to get on my train.
13:55Oh.
13:58You sent me something surprising.
14:02Well, this is bad.
14:03I did not realize they could do that,
14:06because there's a high-speed line from Boeing to Tom Deku.
14:10Oh, no.
14:16Well, tell you what.
14:18I've been sitting here for a long time trying to figure out what to do,
14:21and, well, it is easier to know what to do now,
14:25because they put a battle challenge down in Dong Daegu.
14:29Um, well, I'll tell you one thing.
14:31That was a huge mistake for them,
14:34because if they had just waited,
14:35I would have gone to Dong Daegu,
14:37and they could have placed that battle challenge down
14:39right before I arrived,
14:40and they could have battled me.
14:42But they didn't do that.
14:43They put it down now.
14:45Don't know why they would do that.
14:49Seems weird.
14:51Here we go.
15:13Now that the battle challenge is down,
15:22we do have to actually determine what the battle is going to be
15:25if Adam does decide to come here.
15:27Tower battle.
15:33Tower battle.
15:34Both teams have 15 minutes to stack the most rocks out of sight of their opponents.
15:39They can declare their tower done at any point.
15:42If any rock in their tower ever falls, their score is zero.
15:47Okay.
15:49I don't think... he's not coming here.
15:50That's the whole point.
15:51I agree.
15:52The only way we can dissuade him is by getting really good at rock stacking.
15:56That's true.
15:56We're in rock central.
16:14We're in rock central.
16:19You did pretty good.
16:20One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
16:25Not bad.
16:25One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
16:56He's in Yongchong.
16:57I think he's getting off his train right now.
16:59I think he's getting off.
17:01He's got to be getting off.
17:02I don't think he's heading straight into battle.
17:04There's no way that he's on that train.
17:06You can't say that, Ben.
17:07There's no way that he's on that train.
17:08Well, we might be able to see him through the windows, Ben.
17:16Here, you watch to the right, Ben.
17:17I think he's...
17:18Oh, my God.
17:19I saw a blue hat.
17:22I panicked.
17:24Okay.
17:25I think that was the last.
17:26Are we safe?
17:28Okay.
17:29Adam is not on this train.
17:31We successfully scared him off for now.
17:35We wasted our battle challenge.
17:36It did our intended purpose.
17:38It was worth it.
17:40It was worth it.
17:40He didn't come to Dongdaegu.
17:42He's not getting on the high-speed line.
17:43And I think that he is probably ending the day wherever he just got off in...
17:49What's it called?
17:51Yongchong.
17:53Yongchong.
17:54Yongchong.
17:55Yongchong.
18:05All right.
18:06Well, welcome to Yongchong.
18:09This is what Yongchong looks like.
18:13If you were wondering about what Yongchong looks like, it looks like this.
18:18All right.
18:18Well, I don't think that there is anything else we can do today other than try to look
18:26into what the hell they're doing and kind of just make our plan.
18:31All right.
18:32Here's the deal.
18:33Only two ways out of here.
18:35Go north.
18:36Up to Yongchong.
18:37Go west to Dongdaegu.
18:40There's a battle challenge in Dongdaegu, though.
18:42So you'd think I should probably go north.
18:45The only thing is, battle challenge only works if they are at Dongdaegu waiting for me.
18:51And how long are they really going to wait there for you?
18:56Only so long, surely.
18:58There's a train in a little bit that I could take down there.
19:01I think that's too risky.
19:06I think they'll probably still be there.
19:08Tomorrow morning, though?
19:11I don't know.
19:12Tomorrow morning, we're going to have to decide if we want to try to call their bluff or if
19:15we just go north.
19:17I think we grab a snack.
19:19We see what's going on in Yongchong.
19:22Figure out a place to sleep.
19:27Let's see what's going on in Yongchong.
19:33All right, Ben.
19:34Well, let's figure out our first move for tomorrow.
19:36We were just doing a little bit of research, and he has a good train.
19:39Anyway, let's get to the front of the station and maybe plan our next move and finish our day.
19:48Good stuff, Sam.
19:49Okay.
19:50All right, here's one thing they got going on in Yongchong.
19:53They got these bears hanging out.
19:55They got these bears hanging out.
19:57That bear looks sad looking at a globe.
19:59They're counting.
20:00They're counting something.
20:02It's counting down.
20:03Oh, I think it's counting down to when global warming will hit 1.5 degrees Celsius, and that's
20:10why the polar bear is sad.
20:12I figured it out.
20:14Folks, I figured it out.
20:15All right.
20:17Let's see what else.
20:18All right.
20:19Well, this appears to be the Yongchong market.
20:21It seems like the Yongchong market is mostly shut down at the moment.
20:28All right.
20:28Well, here's a sign welcoming me to Yongchong, and then there's a horse looking at the sign.
20:34There's so much going on here.
20:37Look at everything that's happening here in Yongchong.
20:40All right, Sam.
20:42Our date has ended.
20:43We successfully scared him off from Dongdaegu.
20:46I feel good about that.
20:48We need to get, like, 11 hours of sleep in so our minds are at their full potential tomorrow
20:53to stop Mr. Adam Chase.
20:56He can't win.
20:57We cannot let him win.
20:58No, we cannot let him win.
20:59A solo victory, especially.
21:01Every time he wins a solo victory, we never live it down.
21:04And it's like, this is our workplace, you know?
21:07Yeah.
21:07This is, we have to have workplace morale.
21:09Yeah.
21:10We will see you tomorrow morning, where we will form a plan to defeat Adam Chase once and for all.
21:15Check it out.
21:16I found where I'm going to live after the game.
21:21That's going to be where I stay.
21:27Whoa.
21:29Yes.
21:32Oh, this is awesome.
21:36All right.
21:37Well, it turns out that Yongchong is awesome, is beautiful here.
21:42It's also 7 p.m., which means that the day is over.
21:45Tomorrow morning, we are going to decide if we're going to head north or if we are going
21:50to try to call their bluff and head west.
21:55I honestly don't know.
21:56What I do know is, I'll see you tomorrow at this exact spot.
22:00Good night.
22:01All right.
22:02Time for the rest period.
22:03As always, teams will sleep, eat, and return to the exact same spot at 7 a.m. the next day.
22:08Good morning.
22:10Good morning.
22:11Good morning from Daegu.
22:15I actually lost some sleep last night because a robot kept coming to my door.
22:19And then I would open the door and it would speak, like, Korean.
22:23And then I didn't know what to do, so I would close the door.
22:25But it happened, like, three times.
22:27Do you have the robot come to your room?
22:28No.
22:29We are here at Dongdaegu Station, as you well know.
22:33And we've got to figure out what we're going to do.
22:35Yeah.
22:36I'm always worried about the secret third option.
22:38And the secret third option for Adam is that he waits.
22:42And then comes here.
22:43Waits and waits.
22:45Good morning.
22:47It is 7 a.m., which means it's time to get back to Snakin'.
22:52Now, two options.
22:55Option one.
22:56There's a great train headed north in about an hour.
22:59It goes all the way up to Chongyang-ni.
23:01It would give me a lot of mileage.
23:02And I don't think that they would be able to get to me until around Chongyang-ni.
23:09But I'm not sure.
23:11Option two.
23:12I wait around for a while and I call their bluff and I try to go through Dongdaegu.
23:16Because the battle challenge only works if they are physically in Dongdaegu.
23:20And I don't know how long they are actually going to stay there waiting around.
23:23Even if I could call their bluff, is it worth it?
23:26That's the thing.
23:27And I think actually the answer is no.
23:29Because I think I can get the same mileage without them hitting me by just going north.
23:35And I think it gets me more miles.
23:37So I think the plan is in about an hour we're going to head north.
23:42All right.
23:42Let's head to the train station.
23:46Here's what I will say.
23:47On my run, when I saw the battle challenge, I was just like, it's too risky.
23:52Because if they decide to stay, then I'm toast.
23:55So assuming that he doesn't head straight towards us to go do the battle challenge,
23:59he has a pretty good train this morning that goes up to Yongju.
24:03And then it just keeps on going all the way up to Cheongyang.
24:07The problem for us is he could get on that train, but he could get off in Yongju and come down.
24:11He could get off in Jecheon and come down.
24:13And Adam, you know, he has lots of opportunities to change pace.
24:19I think as long as we don't let him cross the high-speed line, we prevent him from having a winning run.
24:26The high-speed line, that is our defensive battalion.
24:30Yes.
24:31We are going to maintain control of it.
24:34Unless it is seized by Adam or rioters.
24:37Yeah, that could become a plot point today.
24:39Yeah, their president is on trial, and the results of the trial are right now.
24:43And you're in the future, so you might know if the whole country of Korea collapses today.
24:49Yeah, apparently it could get a little spicy.
24:52I'd say our safest move is to just start heading up this way.
24:58Don't place anything down until we know that he's headed up, too.
25:02We see where he gets off, and then we start blocking wherever we need to start blocking.
25:06All right, off we go, Sam.
25:10Adam, chase.
25:11The chase is almost over.
25:16It works every season, that line.
25:19Isn't it, the chase is up?
25:20The chase is up.
25:21No, because that kind of sounds like he's up.
25:24It's contextual.
25:26I don't like context.
25:27I wonder where they are.
25:55Still in Dong Daegu, probably, at this point.
25:58I think they have to stay there for at least a bit.
26:01But I don't know.
26:02I don't know.
26:12I don't know.

31:33Many people do this without realizing the risks.
31:35With a CNPJ, Brazilian corporate taxpayer registry, you can avoid fines and operate
31:40with greater peace of mind.
31:41I don't know, maybe they've left.
31:45I've been wrong about what they've been doing a few times here.
31:49Goodbye.
31:52The town is wishing me goodbye.
31:56It's a very polite town.
31:58That's going to be how Ben and Sam feel when I win.
32:03They're going to be looking at their map and they're going to be feeling real sad about
32:06how good of a job I did it that they lost.
32:09That's what it's going to be like.
32:12They're going to announce the results of the impeachment trial today.
32:20And I don't know what will happen, but it seems like people might be very upset.
32:27Hopefully that doesn't mess up my snake run.
32:33All right, platform three trains here.
32:38All right, well, let's finally make some actual damn progress.
32:42All right, we are finally on our way.
32:52Well, we're passing through Dejean, so here we go.
33:10A secret block, not exactly what I want right now, but I just, you know, I want more blocks.
33:16I want more curses.
33:17Yeah, well, we'll get another poll once we go to Osong.
33:19Yeah.
33:20We'll see.
33:22Osong, Osong Sam.
33:27You ready?
33:28Yeah.
33:29Well, Osong Sam, it's a lovely node, which means we get to draw a card.
33:38You want to see what it is?
33:39Yeah.
33:40Here we go.
33:41What is it?
33:42Oh, tracker.
33:43That could be good.
33:44I want more blocks.
33:45I want more curses.
33:46I do want more blocks.
33:47Trackers.
33:48It's not the thing we need now.
33:57Okay.
33:58It's time.
33:59We have just passed through Chonin-Asan, and I really would love another block.
34:18Curse of the Bug Friends.
34:21Curse of the Bug Friends.
34:23Collect a bug somewhere along the line and bring it to your next node.
34:27Okay.
34:28Yeah.
34:29I mean, that's, it's, they forced him off the train.
34:32Still just, I want a roadblock.
34:34So we think he's about to go through Yongju, right?
34:37If he got on that good train that goes all the way up the country, he should be passing
34:41through Yongju just about now.
34:44Okay.
34:45We are pulling into Yongju, which is a node.
34:57So I have to tell them.
35:01And there it is.
35:02So we're just going to have to wait and see how far he goes up that line.
35:06He could be getting off his train right now.
35:08He could get off the Jet Shion.
35:10He could ride it all the way up.
35:12What do you think he's going to, I think he's going to ride it all the way up.
35:15Probably.
35:16Now, here's the thing.
35:17I could get off the train here.
35:18I could go down towards Gim Shion or I could go up towards Dong Hai.
35:22But I don't think I should do either one of those things.
35:25First of all, neither of the connections are good.
35:27I would have to wait like an hour and a half.
35:29Two, if I go down towards Gim Shion, then I have to go to Dejian or Dong Daegu, which
35:32are both on the high speed line.
35:34And they would just be able to get to whichever one I go to.
35:38If I go up towards Dong Hai, first of all, I can't transfer Dong Baik San.
35:42There's like no trains going that way today.
35:43So then I'm on this path.
35:45This long roundabout path that has to go through Siu Wan Ju.
35:49And I think they would just be there waiting for me.
35:53So I think we roll straight on through.
35:56I doubt he's getting on.
36:03He's still got a lot of options now, but there's one clearly fastest option.
36:09Yeah.
36:10I don't think he has a lot of great options that don't allow us to have pretty high confidence
36:16about what he's doing.
36:17Yeah.
36:18But either way, we'll get our block down in Yong Sin.
36:21And then we'll figure out what our next priority is.
36:24We will try to get our block down in Yong Sin.
36:26We will definitely get our block down in Yong Sin.
36:28Okay.
36:29Are you feeling good about your noodle tasting abilities?
36:31I'm feeling excellent about them.
36:33All right.
36:34Okay, Sam.
36:36I'm going to phrase this next statement in a way that I think will please you.
36:41Our choo-choo train is about to pass through the snack zone.
36:49Today we're going to try some manchoo, which I actually don't really know what these are,
37:00but they were at the train station.
37:02Okay.
37:03They're little acorns.
37:04Yeah.
37:05Okay.
37:06Cheers.
37:07Cheers.
37:08Oh.
37:09Oh my God.
37:10Oh my.
37:11It's like a soft bun that's filled with custard, which is sort of anatomically exactly how
37:18I'm built.
37:19Okay.
37:20We made it a Yong Sin.
37:32I'm Yong Sin.
37:33Oh, yep.
37:34A text from Adam.
37:35All right.
37:36Just Yong.
37:37Yeah.
37:38Okay.
37:39We made it a Yong Sin.
37:40I'm Yong Sin.
37:41Oh, yep.
37:42A text from Adam.
37:43All right.
37:44Just Yong.
37:45Yeah.
37:46So he's still going north.
37:47I think this is his last chance to take a different route.
37:52If he stays on his train, then he is heading straight to us eventually.
38:07All right.
38:08We are now hitting Jechion, which is really my last chance to pivot.
38:11I have thought a lot about this.
38:12I've really looked into it.
38:14I think we got to stay the course.
38:16Because the thing is, if we pivot down towards Osong, first of all, we're going to be waiting
38:20for quite a while for a transfer.
38:22And I'm positive that they'll be waiting for me in Osong.
38:26And if we turn east, we could get some mileage in this weird little corridor.
38:29But they'll have a lot of time of knowing that I have to head to Siowanchu.
38:35I'm going to be really, really slow.
38:37I'm going to have to make transfers at Jechion and Donkey.
38:40And I'm pretty sure they would be able to meet me somewhere in Manchong or something like
38:44that.
38:45Get a bunch of stuff in my way.
38:46I think we just got to stay the course.
38:48I think we just got to stay the course.
38:50Once I pass through here at Bong Yang, they're going to know that I have to go to Chong Yang,
38:57the Yangson.
38:58There's no other path for me after this.
39:02So I suspect that at that point, they are going to start putting down curses and roadblocks
39:07and potentially battle challenges in my way.
39:10I think we got to stay the course.
39:22Yeah, he's going to pass through Bong Yang soon, which I guess will tell us very quickly.
39:28Yeah.
39:29There's sort of like an invisible diagonal crosswalk here.
39:38Oh, apparently not.
39:40The sexy driver says no, there's not.
39:42All right.
39:43Here's our spot.
39:44The ceremonial jet lag card pulling spot.
39:47Here's our card we get for going to Yangson.
39:50Okay.
39:51Now I already regret pulling.
39:53All right.
39:54Ready?
39:55Yep.
39:56Navigate by heart.
40:00Navigate by heart.
40:01Use TripAdvisor to determine the number one tourist attraction within a mile of your current
40:05station.
40:06Memorize its location and then, without using a map, get to it within one hour.
40:11Navigate by heart.
40:12I think we can do this for sure.
40:13It wastes some time.
40:14Well, let's see what the number one attraction is.
40:16I think it's the war memorial of Korea.
40:19Oh, there it is.
40:20Uh, that, that would be very easy.
40:21You just follow that road straight.
40:23Yeah.
40:24So I guess this, that, that, uh, roadblock is very good here.
40:27Oh, we just got a text from Adam.
40:30He hit Bong Yang.
40:31So he must be coming here.
40:32He must be coming here.
40:34Okay.
40:37Well, I have now passed through in Bong Yang, which means they know.
40:45that I'm staying on my train all the way up.
40:48I have to imagine that means that they are heading up to put something down.
40:54But I guess we'll see.
40:55I mean, haven't heard from him yet today, but I would be very surprised if that's not what's
41:00about to happen.
41:01So I, we've got to put down a roadblock here.
41:05Okay.
41:06So we got to get noodles then.
41:07Yeah.
41:08I think we got to get noodles, play something and then go south.
41:12All right.
41:13Let's, let's, let's get to the noodle shop.
41:15Look, I think that there's a decent chance we get this and a decent chance he crashes
41:20on it.
41:21So if we found three with the most different spice levels, hopefully you could kind of
41:28taste like, okay, this is medium spicy.
41:30This is big spicy.
41:31This is a little spicy.
41:32I guess my worry is that like, once you've tasted something that's so spicy.
41:37Yeah.
41:38It's hard to, your taste buds get kind of fried.
41:40I agree.
41:41Yeah.
41:42This is not a wide selection.
41:45Okay.
41:46But carbonara is right in the middle.
41:50Apparently.
41:51Okay.
41:52But they seemingly only have two kinds of bull duck.
41:54I've seen stores that have like 20.
41:56So I think let's move on.
41:57Okay.
41:58Okay.
41:59Okay.
42:00Okay.
42:01Okay.
42:02Okay.
42:03Okay.
42:04Okay.
42:05Was this the carbonara?
42:07No, it says carbon.
42:08So it must be.
42:09Oh, here's another one.
42:10This is spicy.
42:11Oh, cheese flavor.
42:13That's going to be different.
42:15Yeah.
42:16Cheese and carbonara can be a little adjacent.
42:17I, I feel like I can tell them apart.
42:19Wait, Ben, do you want to get some, something to wash the palate?
42:22Sure.
42:23Let's get some banana milk.
42:24Okay.
42:25Cause that's a thing here.
42:26I think that would do it.
42:27We've got our three flavors.
42:29Now I have to prepare them.
42:31Okay.
42:32God.
42:33I hope this works.
42:52So we've got carbonara, spicy and cheese.
42:55All right, Ben, I will say, according to internet research, cheese should be spicier than carbonara,
43:02but only slightly.
43:03Are you ready?
43:04I'm ready.
43:05Okay.
43:06Pick a random order to present them to me.
43:08All right.
43:09I'll do, I'll do a little shuffle.
43:10Okay.
43:11Okay.
43:18The thing is I might not submit my answers until I've tasted all three.
43:21No.
43:22There's a lot of tingly-ness for that one.
43:30Not a ton of flavor.
43:32Certainly not like, not tasting a lot of cheesiness, but I think that this one could either be the spicy or it could be the carbonara.
43:40I'll reserve judgment for now.
43:41I think when you do wine tasting, don't you like gargle it?
43:47Yeah.
43:49Yeah.
43:50Number two.
43:54These noodles are slightly different.
43:58They're potentially a bit spicier.
44:00I think they're a different shape.
44:02Okay.
44:03All right.
44:04Alec cleanser.
44:05Definitely a stronger spice coming off of that one.
44:09All right.
44:10Number three.
44:11These noodles, they've got a kind of a funk to them, but there may be a similar level of spicy.
44:24Can I try the first ones again?
44:25Yep.
44:31Yeah.
44:32Those noodles are definitely different and there's not a lot of flavor on this one.
44:35I think I'm ready to put in my answers.
44:37All right.
44:38I think the first one, the one that I'm currently holding, is the carbonara.
44:43I think that the second one is the spicy and I think the third one is the cheese.
44:50Is that right?
44:51Use your eyes.
44:53Yeah.
44:55Yeah.
44:56Nice job.
44:57Nice job.
45:04Cool.
45:05That was harder than I thought it would be.
45:06You had me a little more concerned than I was going into this.
45:09Well, the thing is they're all very spicy.
45:11Yeah.
45:12Okay.
45:13Which makes the spice part a little difficult to discern.
45:17Nice job, Ben.
45:19Nice job.
45:20Never fail the taste test.
45:21Never.
45:22And I never will.
45:23That's right.
45:24Go toutto a little more.
45:25You might have to buy up and start one last time.
45:27You have to accept you and watch your money.
45:29Put that out aqui.
45:30That's a pretty spicy.
45:32Think of it.
45:33I'm going to go.
45:35Love my ģ experience.
45:36The saga.
45:37I'm going to do a hole in my
45:54Imagine being able to create what you want, just with the power of imagination.
46:04Find Base44, a complete platform of creation with IA,

46:23There are tools made only for you.
46:25Platforms ready to help millions.
46:28From personal projects to business-level systems.
46:32We are approaching Seoul.
46:36You can tell because the buildings are getting taller.
46:41Ok, well, there it is.
46:43Thought something would happen.
46:45Roadblock in Yawkson.
46:46Yeah, that seems right.
46:49Took them a while, but yeah, it's not surprising.
46:52Well, look, at least it's a roadblock and not a battle challenge.
46:56Roadblock, I have a decent chance that I can overcome it.
47:01Ok, yep, thought that would happen.
47:03Thought that would happen.
47:04Alright, well, I'll be there in a little bit.
47:07I just gotta hope this is the only thing they can get down.
47:10Alright, very nicely done, Ben.
47:12My mouth is still burning.
47:14Yeah, you got a little bit of noodle kind of residue, kind of everywhere.
47:18Ok.
47:19Now, we know that he has to come here.
47:23Yeah.
47:24Because he's past Sangbong, which means that his only route is down through Yawkson.
47:29And at that point, you know, he's heading south.
47:33And he's got two options.
47:36He can go on the high speed line or he can go on the low speed line.
47:39Yeah.
47:40The tricky thing for us at this point is that we only have one kind of mediocre roadblock.
47:46Yeah, it's true.
47:47And, you know, if we had really good roadblocks, I feel like our next thing would be, let's go to Chonan Asan and play something there.
47:54Yeah.
47:55But...
47:56But if we go on the high speed line, we won't get any more card draws.
47:59And there's no way we're ending this game without additional card pulls.
48:03Look, hopefully Adam gets here and that's that. Hopefully he's bad at tasting noodles.
48:08That would be ideal. I mean, let's look at the departure board, do some math and...
48:12I think TLDR, we're in a bit of a pickle just with the cards that we have.
48:16Yeah, our cards right now are just a little tough.
48:25All right, we are finally at Chongyang.
48:32All righty.
48:34Welcome everybody to Chongyang.
48:37We have got to get on the train to Yongsan where there is a roadblock.
48:43We have no choice.
48:44We simply have to go to Yongsan where the roadblock is.
48:47So, we have to wait a few minutes for our transfer.
48:51The real hope is just that they don't put anything else down before that.
48:57Everyone is looking at the TV, which it means, uh...
49:04I think the results are coming in.
49:06Yeah.
49:10Oh yeah, that's a good answer.
49:17Well that's not good.
49:18It's not me.
49:19Sam, Google whether South Korea is cooked or not.
49:22I don't see much yet.
49:23Okay.
49:25Well, we have no choice but to keep jet lagging.
49:27All right.
49:28Let's go find out what this roadblock is.
49:36So, wait.
49:37Are there straight up no departures until noon?
49:42That's crazy.
49:43The timing does suck for us.
49:44And it's awesome for Adam.
49:45I don't know what is going on.
49:46But like, you can see the normal frequency of trains out of this station.
49:50it's like every couple of minutes.
49:51But there is straight up zero departures between 11 and noon for some reason.
49:53Yeah.
49:54There must be like some break.
49:55Maybe it's like a little bit after the train.
49:56It's like the car is walking under 45 and down there.
49:57Can we see it?
49:58Can we see it?
49:59Can we see it?
50:00Yeah.
50:01Yeah.
50:02We're not gonna be in.
50:03Yeah.
50:04Okay.
