route 66 journey as a reminder got some new t-shirts in the shop and some old ones as well including one of my favorites this mysteries of the unknown carpetbagger shirt with some of my favorite crypt heads seriously we gotta hit the road follow me we made it we finally made it yes after six days of full cart of road signs of Nghia motels a friendly donkeys and creepy mannequins we are half way there this is the exact midpoint of route 66 that foot is closer to Los Angeles and that foot is closer to Chicago oh no I'm thinking maybe we should just turn around head back to Los Angeles here we have another classic truck emblazoned by people's signatures and he has eyeballs and here we go I'll leave my mark right here on this trucks I'm all these nice patriotic six sixes in this old truck and oh my god who are you here's a street sign that I've just not come across I didn't see that on my driver's test crock of Jim now this is a really cool abandoned gas station check out these little pumps right here but this isn't just your average really cool abandoned gas station this place is known as the bent door and there's actually a very good reason for that check out the old office entry that door is simply ludicrous how do you how do you even open up that door you're in Vega Texas we have this routing and Tooting Cowboys got a gun that is a gas pump but actually a play called dots mini-museum now check this out all right start out the museum oh wow what we got here we got some creepy monkey baby dolls in there yes there's a little collection of antique cigarettes they actually have the cigarette still in the packs not sure why dot has the newspaper publisher buried in her yard I've seen several shoe trees on my journey and this is actually a variation the boot tree there's cowboy boots hanging from the tree I'd like to add my own cowboy boots but unfortunately I just have these silly tennis shoes now of course route 66 you really can't not stop at you wonderful an amazing Cadillac wrench I've been here twice before but never brought along any of this so we're gonna do a little artwork today [Music] you all right I've left my mark I've created a possum here on one of the cars at the Cadillac Ranch TCB of course answered the carpetbagger and just for future visitors I just ask one thing and that there's plenty of cars to paint on let's just leave this one alone okay I want to see this next time I come back [Music] nice nailed it I have returned returned to the Big Texan steak house the most iconic restaurant on route 66 known for their 72-ounce free steak if you can eat it in an hour along with a potato a roll fried shrimp and a salad beside I've been here twice before the food is very delicious that not have the guts I didn't have the intensity to tackle the the challenge of the 72-ounce a but I've decided I better promise to myself that I'm gonna go into this restaurant and heat 72 ounces of cow meat follow so Adam gonna do this with me no no okay at all you 7.27 put you're doing 72 72 I'm doing 10% 7.2 Adam is not a big fan of meat gorging as I am I like meat but I don't like yeah I don't like it getting stuck in my esophagus or in the nether regions you don't like steak like coming out your nose because there's no room left in your body all right you believe in me don't you Pappy don't you I know this got my back somehow I feel like my life is not hey loser either way all right signing my waiver here so they're not liable for my death there's my lunch hey Adam your mate you're making a piggy yourself in here I'm embarrassed in food [Music] can I have your attention up on stage please we have ourselves another 72-ounce challenger today fighting out of the challenging corner coming to us all the way for well in Waynesville North Carolina he's waiting in Italy 265-pound let's give it up for Jacob nobody has a very worthy opponent today fighting out of the big tasting quarter with a current record of 69 thousand four hundred forty wins against only nine thousand six hundred and twenty losses this bout will last up to one hour he has to eat four and a half pounds of our taxes doctor boy a baked potato of dinner roll three fried shrimp and a garden salad now don't worry folks either way he is not gonna leave here hungry today but if he stands up waves and white flag and gives up or picks up the trash and well you know then he owes us $72 you folks are welcome to come up and take pictures but please stay off the water stage and give them one more round of applause to cheer long today guys yes sir GZ it's so good [Music] but a quarter of the way done five minutes have passed I got this I think he's gonna do is he gonna do it he's gonna do it yeah I can see he's halfway already you have complete faith in him I do he's almost halfway and he's only a quarter of the 12 minutes that quarterly his strategy is to lift a baked potato cooled down and to just slowly munch on the salad and the shrimp as as he's going is it working out for you working yeah we're 23 minutes in and from integrate a little potato in there I'm almost 3/4 way done with the steak itself trying to mix a little potato in here with the steak absorbed you drive a tato by itself a little under a half hour to go progress update I think you got this man alright just got consumed this pile of Vito right here and then we'll start on the fixin's [Music] it's doing some calisthenics down there to keep breathin one more bite of the actual steak delicious all this left is gristle which technically you don't have to eat oh you sign the contract you read the rules written in blood now all you got to do is just finish this shrimp move it us out with the bread and the salad you got this this little roll is probably the hardest part of this entire meal my old nemesis the shrimp it's all fine game I know just pretend like you're hungry we're done like I'm hungry it sound like you're hungry and just be like oh I have a little snack [Applause] timer stopping people are training swallow let it touch you yeah I just ate 72 ounces of meat what else is a roll the roll was the deadliest part of all then those deeply breaded shrimp and a salad I can't believe that's in my body right now this is accomplishment that no one can ever take away from me there's a childhood dream realized kids you can do anything you put your mind to check this out a certificate the Hall of Fame of meat-eating and then look at this shirt here it was look at me take a nap man just take a nap [Music] a big cow sorry about your brother now Cadillac Ranch is iconic and super amazing but not everyone likes Cadillacs some people like bugs and here we are that slug bug ranch like the unwritten rule the open road if there's a car that's abandoned you're allowed to spray paint whatever you want on it the Cadillac Ranch has been painted so many times that it's practically like just a big ball of paint here at the the slug bug ranch we still got metal pieces jagged edges hanging off things lot of graffiti in here oh look at these cool theater seats just remember folks no matter what adversity you're faced with no matter what things are put in your way it'll be okay just listen to the table yeah here in Conway Texas this abandoned gas station I'm really worried because it's haunted alright y'all know the freezer rule there's a freezer we open it this smelly oh yeah what's this back here no this is someone's home denim squalor Oh Bert's Bert's Bert's gonna stop here in groom Texas and he may see behind me what was once known as the world's largest cross now I don't know if the cross still holds that record is very similar to a series of cross is that you'll find across the u.s. created by one James Potter I'm not sure if he built this but it is very similar in design to his but also in addition to the giant cross there's actually statues of Jesus in the 12 Stations of the Cross along the bottom is actually Pontius Pilate washing his hands of the situation now this is very interesting and I'm certainly not gonna tell anyone how they have to feel about it they have a statue of Jesus here is weeping tears running down his face we look at his hand he's actually holding it appears to be a human fetus here's one of the supreme action heroes of the Bible the Arch Angel Michael as he slays a dragon [Music] now may just be having delusions from all that steak I ate but that tower looks a little crooked it's the beef in my belly and here's the churn gurgle and rot we pull off into the charming old town of shamrock Texas look at this top of the morning to ya it says from shamrock Texas hits the Blarney Stone for everlasting good luck is that the Barney so should we kiss that no we shouldn't because that is actually the fake Barney stone you say yeah yeah of course the real bonding stone is in Ireland or something no you're wrong there is a piece of the Blarney Stone here in shamrock Texas that's just not it and neither is that whereas neither is that so we're gonna go find the real Barney stone and kiss it [Music] now here's someone who knows where the Blarney Stone is st. Patrick famous for murdering snakes with a big stick seriously the end this pillar we have a genuine chunk of the Blarney Stone from Ireland they say you kiss it it gives you the gift of being able to speak well as well as luckiness for all your days maybe I'll be lucky enough not to get sucked into doing any more stupid food challenges alright here it goes [Music] it's only the second grossest thing I put my mouth today so here we are outside of what is possibly the world's most beautiful gas station the you drop in diner and Conoco gas station here in shamrock Texas it's been quite a day had a few scary moments there after eating that steak but I think we're all I think we're in the clear I think I think I'm going to live kids don't try to eat 72 on steaks it's it's really really stupid but I'll tell you what's not stupid is checking down in the description for my interactive map to see all the places I've been and make suggestions a place that I should go also if you'd like to buy a t-shirt while you're down there I have a couple route 66 specific shirts in the shop to coincide with with my route 66 trip also if you'd like to donate three dollars on patreon or more I will send you a postcard while I'm out on my journeys so for now this once in the bag is there any word in the English language is disgusting as the word steak
