Jon had a full day of shooting with Elizabeth Grier, mom to Hayes Grier and Nash Grier, and traveling to Asheville, NC. Stopping at the oldest tavern in North Carolina was pretty cool! It's great having a job that allows you to travel!
Where's what I paid for?
This is not it.
How's it going, guys?
So today's vlog is gonna be a little journey
that I'm taking.
I'm gonna be doing a lot of stuff this weekend,
so I figured I'd grab the camera,
bring it with me, and we'll see what happens.
I am on the road, but the traffic is moving slowly,
so anyways, I'm heading to go shoot videos
with Elizabeth Greer.
For those who don't know who Elizabeth is,
if you know Nash and Hayes Greer from YouTube,
then that is their mom.
I'm gonna be shooting some videos
and editing videos for her for a new YouTube channel,
so it's gonna keep me busy, probably too busy,
so I gotta figure out where to cut some stuff out again.
I feel like I just stopped working at church
and I was like, yes, I have all this time,
and then now I'm filling it all back up
and I gotta be smart with my time
so that we can keep our YouTube channel going.
Anyways, that's what I'm doing this weekend.
Heading there now.
It's like a two and a half hour drive,
so I'm gonna get off this,
but I'll see you guys when we get there.
Was thinking Sheetz has cold brew now,
and I didn't see it until I'd already ordered
and got a coffee.
Good grief.
You gotta show me that sooner, Sheetz.
I need to know about this cold brew
before I walk in there and in order.
Gah, I'll have to get it a little later.
So I just got here,
and I'm waiting for Elizabeth to get here.
She's meeting me here.
And they have chickens here at this farm,
and this chicken just got in my car.
Please excuse the mess.
Mr. Chicken, or ma'am Chicken,
if you could please exit my vehicle,
that would be great.
Trying to get set up here.
I heard something flutter.
Thank you.
There's nothing in there for you?
No, not you too.
You stay down.
That's hilarious.
I love this place.
It's like a little farmhouse.
Got some land here.
All right, no, no, no, don't get in there.
Don't you get in there.
So we just got finished shooting out here.
Elizabeth went inside,
and Hayes is here.
You know, Hayes, the celebrity from YouTube.
So they're all riding motorcycles and stuff.
It's pretty cool.
I love it out here.
This is awesome.
They have this awesome farmland.
They have like a dirt bike track out back.
They have like a horse pen back here
with a little barn,
a little farmhouse back behind me.
So we're gonna be doing videos out here
pretty consistently with them,
or with her.
And so it's gonna be cool.
I think you guys will like it.
It's gonna be very much like mom stuff,
you know, doing stuff on the farm with her kids.
And yeah, so I'll get her in a vlog here soon,
but I just don't wanna like say,
hey, come be in my vlog.
You know what I mean?
It's kind of rude.
So let me get my stuff packed up.
I'm gonna fly the drone around a little bit,
and then we're gonna head out of here.
I have to head back to Raleigh
because Jason, that's all I can say.
Oh my goodness, guys.
It's so hot.
I didn't expect it to be so hot today.
All right, so I gotta head back to Raleigh now.
So I'll get there around five
and then leave to go right back out to Asheville.
So all right, see you guys in a little bit.
So we got the cold brew,
and it's not good.
It kind of tastes like coffee and vodka mixed together.
It's disgusting.
Just got here, again, Jason.
Oh, there's Jason now.
There he is, everybody.
It's Jason!
I can't wait to do more driving.
I've been driving all day.
Look at this guy.
He's so cool on his new iPhone, iPhone 75.
Jason has the new iPhone 75, everybody.
If you didn't know that I was out,
it's not, it's because he went into the future
with all of his Apple time machines
and got it, brought it back.
Right, Jason?
Yeah.
Is your friend coming?
We actually have to pick him up.
Oh, God.
Can you believe this?
So first off, Jason was gonna catch a ride with his friend
so I didn't have to come all the way back here.
Then he's like, hey, can my friend get a ride with us?
I'm like, okay, whatever.
I'll drive back, no problem.
Now I gotta go pick him up.
And I'm sure I'm gonna have to drop him off, too.
Jason, how are we gonna party all night
if we're just picking people up and dropping people off?
We can't party like that.
So like, every time I go out of town
or go shoot weddings out of town
and I stay overnight, I always forget stuff.
Like last time I didn't bring any of my toiletries,
like toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, anything.
This time I forgot underwear.
Go figure.
I can't go there with no clean underwear tomorrow.
Especially not after today, I was sweating like crazy.
Sweat my butt off.
Like, literally.
Disgusting.
I gotta stop and get some things.
I'm never prepared for stuff
because it's always the chaos of the house, the kids.
Trying to help Danielle before I leave,
which I forgot to take out the trash.
I just thought about that.
Daggone it.
This is downtown Raleigh.
Jason lives in the heart of downtown.
So that's pretty cool.
If I was a single young whippersnapper like Jason is
with a good job, I'd live in downtown.
Except I hate downtown.
I probably would.
Hey guys, so we're driving.
We're going to Asheville about halfway there.
Not really.
We're still like two and a half hours away.
We're here with Jason.
Keyshawn.
Yep.
Throwing up back there.
We're, we just picked him up on the side of the road.
Yeah, I'm about to bust out when he comes up.
Yep.
I'm like, dude, you know what?
I don't normally do this,
but you look like a nice guy, get in.
Keyshawn, are you hungry?
He's not.
Yeah.
I'm not?
We made it to the tavern.
Is it a tavern in Old Salem or of Old Salem?
Tavern Salem.
So it looks like a pretty cool place.
Look how, there's only like 20 states.
Yeah, I know.
This is, yeah.
Back in the day.
Time travel.
This is cool.
It's a cool place.
Bring the Ruckus was inspired by Wu-Tang Clan.
So it is a Wu-Tang Clan infused beer.
So what they did was they took two speakers,
put them up to the fermentation tanks
because yeast is alive,
so it needs to keep moving.
The more it moves, the more the beer changes.
And the vibration of the base
actually changes the flavor of the beer
because it's better than yeast.
That changes the flavor.
That is awesome.
I didn't even know that was a thing.
Thank you for telling us that,
because that is, I need that now.
If I didn't eat it before, I need it now, so.
We are officially drinking in North Carolina's
oldest tavern, which is the pool.
That's pretty, that's pretty exciting.
I didn't even know that.
Thanks for bringing it.
Jason, you found it.
I thought y'all found it together.
At the same time, yeah.
So if I didn't say we're in Winston-Salem, North Carolina,
it's about, I guess, what are we,
two hours from Raleigh?
Hour ago?
Yeah, two hours.
So, Jason's got his new iPhone.
He's trying to take super sweet pictures
and it's not working.
It's not a selfie.
Pick a selfie, Jason.
I wanna see how you selfie with that thing.
Seven megapixels.
Okay, I'm gonna selfie vlog selfie here.
I want the camera in there.
I want the camera in here.
Like, let's, stop moving.
I want it like right there, yeah.
Ah, I'm vlogging while you're taking a selfie.
That's what I'm doing.
See?
See how cool that was, Jason?
You just made history.
This place is a lot fancier than I thought it was.
I didn't realize it was so fancy.
Sorry, Daniel.
Jason picked the place.
Jason did.
I'm kind of on a date with Jason and Keyshawn right now.
So, sorry about that, Daniel.
I didn't know about this.
They made me do it.
So, I think I'm gonna do the tavern crawfish and grits.
That sounds about as southern as you can get.
It almost sounds like Cajun.
Like Louisiana, yeah, very much so.
You can't get much southern than Louisiana, can you?
No, we can't.
It looks good to me.
Guys, look at this.
Oh my gosh.
This is a bruschetta.
I don't even know what's on it.
Is that olives on it?
I think it's all olives, but I don't care.
And then stinking fried, is that fried green tomatoes?
That is, with some pimento cheese.
Oh my gosh.
Some other goodness.
My goodness.
What a beautiful thing.
Yeah, Jason, you're such a beautiful person.
Oh yeah, I was talking about you, Jason.
Nope.
He can't hear you because you're holding the microphone.
Move your thumb.
Say, move your hand.
He can't hear you.
No.
You're flippin' your tooth, okay?
I have one.
Oh.
Judy's on FaceTime with me right now.
Judy looks to be like that.
There's Judy.
Judy, what are you doing?
Say hi.
Hi.
That's my cutie cutie.
What are you doing?
You sleepin' with Mommy?
Hey, I'm on night.
You're sleepin' with Mommy tonight?
Uh-huh.
All right, hey, I'm gonna go, okay buddy?
I love you.
Have a good night.
Good night.
All right, bye-bye.
See you soon.
Bye.
All right, bye-bye.
She's so cute.
I love FaceTime with my little sweet girl.
I clearly made the right decision.
This looks amazing.
Crawfish and grits, is that what it was called?
I think so.
It looks delicious.
Is that crawfish?
That might be like shrimp or something.
I think it's crawfish.
It's just straight crawfish.
I think so, I don't know.
I mean, the bligskin, by the way.
Yeah.
I got it to go, but it doesn't look as appetizing in here
as it did on the plate there.
It did taste really good, though.
I'll say that much.
All right, Jason, you ready to head out, bro?
Yep.
You gonna last?
Nope.
Jason's done, guys.
Jason's had his full day.
He's ready to get out of here and go home
and go to the hotel and sleep.
I gotta book a hotel.
Jason, don't be trying to call him a leaf.
Did y'all see that?
We had a hotel room for crying out loud.
All right, we're out of here.
Three hours later, we can actually get back on the road.
Very true.
Get the states, get the states.
Oh, yeah.
How many is that?
One, 15, 12, 15, 12, 15.
It's 15, Jason, for crying out loud.
Get it right.
Look at this cobblestone walkway.
It's sweet.
It is sweet.
I had that at my house.
Well, Winston-Salem shutting down.
Looks like everybody's gone.
We're the last people out of here, it looks like.
Okay, not really.
There's a few people upstairs.
It's the witches.
Yeah, the witches.
And you just said witches.
Look what happened.
I know.
What are you doing?
Are you a witch?
No, I'm a guy.
Oh, okay.
Witch, you guys can't be witches.
I forgot.
Guys, we have made it to Asheville, finally.
I'm exhausted.
I'm not gonna lie.
I was falling asleep on the way.
So, just a little tidbit of information,
but I didn't fall asleep.
That's the key point.
I'm very good at making sure I stay awake
when I am falling asleep.
I just get very tired.
So, we gotta stop at Walmart.
Had to get some items.
Yeah, we're gonna get somebody else upstairs.
Oh no, we might not get out of here until like 1 a.m. now.
Turn those on.
Get those self-checkouts going.
We made it.
We got, we checked out on the
electronic entertainment section.
Suckers.
We'll see how long this line still is.
There was one lady that broke her entire shopping cart.
She might as well as made the entire,
made it feel like we had like,
yeah, exactly.
Might as well as had a long line of people there, so.
Forgot to tell you, we dropped Keishon off at his house.
So, if you're wondering where he went,
that's where he went.
Well, here we are.
A little fancy.
I know, it looks fancy in there.
I told you this was fancy, Jason.
This is upscale, buddy.
Look at this.
Oh my goodness.
Tonight, we are living large.
This is better than wherever that place was
you stayed in Asheville last time, Jason.
Not quite.
Whatever, dude, this is way better than that place.
Why do I feel like this is like
the beginning of a horror movie?
Ceilings are really strong.
I know.
Well, is this the top floor?
I don't like this.
Yeah, it is.
What is this?
What did I pay for?
I paid for upscale, high quality.
Okay, that looks better that way.
Yeah, it keeps getting shorter.
Yeah, I know.
It's like Willy Wonka.
Yeah, it's Willy Wonka.
I don't know where we're going.
Get me in this room.
Oh, fancy, fancy.
Okay, at least it goes up a little bit.
Let me get in here.
Okay, where's the upscale?
Where's what I paid for?
This is not it.
Well, Daniel, this is probably a place
that you would like to be without kids,
and I apologize.
And hanging out with Jason.
Oh, if you can only trade places with me, I know.
Well, guys, we're going to bed.
We have a long day tomorrow, too,
so I'm not going to prolong this anymore.
I hope y'all enjoyed this vlog.
Y'all have a good one.
We'll see y'all later.
Adios.
