everytime your anxiety stops you to talk to other people , remind yourself that what you could achieve by talking to people instead of staying in silence.

Eric had the better 'trip' - straight off the bat into first class that was gifted by a stranger...to his dream location, amazing! 🤯 But Tommy had the better 'journey' - to have met all those strangers and be able to share a piece of their unique life story. A pleasure to watch these two equally worthy experiences. It just goes to show that your experiences are a by-product of the energy you put out. :) P.S. Hey Joe, Thomas says Hi.

First off, Eric is hilarious and his enthusiasm is contagious, love watching everything he’s in. As for his trip, it was incredible, and as a surfer it was so cool seeing him meet JOB and ride the SUP Squatch at Pipe! I can only imagine how epic that was for him. BUT, TD’s trip on the other hand was filled with discomfort and rejection. TD had to truly push through for the yes and seek discomfort for a longer period of time at the airport. What’s more he figured out a way to still win! That’s awesome absolutely love to see it!

[@BlueIceWinter1114]

Breaks my heart! He seems like such an amazing guy 💙💛

[@kittykat490]

I feel like both trips capture the Yes Theory/Seek Discomfort energy in totally opposite ways. For Eric, he received a freakishly lucky single act of huge generosity from one person who said yes and believed in adventure, and had a very glamorous experience and made friends to party with and did high energy stuff. But Tommy showed perservering through complications and talked to and got advice from and connected with so many people in the airport and through small humble acts of generosity was able to achieve the adventure, and had a more laid back emotional connection experience. For me Tommy's is the winner! But they're both fantastic experiences and so cool and inspiring.

[@vividatx]

Tommy ended up catching the Dub here. I just want to say the Ukranian man segment really touched me, he could have been a recent migrant to US while his country is under attack and he still gave more than anyone else talking about how he can be happy and we are all people and need to help each other out it just speaks volumes.. And also the Costa Rica Yes Fam, I mean come on that was just so beautiful with amazing people with great mindsets.... Just great. Keep up the amazing work y'all make this world better with every post.

[@MementoVivere.]

I’m going to say Eric for very different reasons that everyone else. To me his trip was almost MORE magical than Tommy’s because it’s often the people we know nothing about that change our days or deliver life changing news, and do it simply out of just being human. The guy that Venmoed that money was so distant from his experience but created the entire thing. To me that’s special. It reminded me that sometimes we have no clue how what may seem like a tiny impact to us could end up inspiring millions of people.

Hope Erik got to connect later with the guy that gave him $1500 and he got to see this video. Very cool of him.

After watching both, I truly think that both had amazing experiences that evened one another out. Eric gets an insane amount of money from a stranger 20 minutes into the competition and gets to visit the place he's been wanting to go for so long. Tomas had grit and perserverance and suffered through more but in the end his hard work paid off and he met such a genuine group of people who embodied what it means to be human. Win and win but for different reasons. I'd LOVE to go to Hawaii first class but for the people I'd have to choose Tomas' adventure so maybe he has the upper edge.

I really loved the contrast of these two experiences. The irony throughout made it quite entertaining. Random strangers say some of the most beautiful pep talks! What amazing opportunities

[@marianalanda2244]

I’m so excited to see this adventure! It has the old Yes Theory vibe

[@will6176]

I think they both won. Eric for his stroke of luck and fun in Hawai’i, and Tommy for his longer challenge filled with more connections at the airport

[@ravenwildspirit]

I have found that people with the least give so much more than wealthy because we know how hard it is to have nothing and it's such a great feeling to be as generous as you can.

[@Luvsake00]

Eric’s train guy shots are hilarious. I’m so so glad he’s a front man in an adventure and not just a tag along. He has such an amazing spirit and personality and it’s so amazing to see.

[@5ex.]

Eric is great and obviously won, he manages to be extroverted in a non intrusive way and is genuinely enjoying himself

[@Sprouht]

Not only is each video hilariously entertaining, but there's always something to take away at the end. That's why Yes Theory is awesome.

[@sebastiancrawford1774]

Ah yes, it is hilariously entertaining to watch millionaires begging poor people for money! Entertaining in the way that it's surreal that you find nothing wrong with it.

[@SCP-049.4]

@@sebastiancrawford1774 look dude im not gonna say the opposite but i think they give the money back. Furthermore, they said that they will upload a video on helping Ukrainians so i guess that's my point. I don't want to argue with you nor anyone and please respect my opinion as i respect yours. But yeah im not 100% sure but i think they give the money back. I like how you care about the others thogh. We need more people like you. God bless and have a great day man!

[@sebastiancrawford1774]

@@SCP-049.4 It's not our job as an audience to assume they did the right thing. Maybe instead of focusing your energy on defending "Yes Theory", you should be focused on the fact that they openly took money from someone they labeled as poor. Lets say they did give back the money though, then the entire video doesn't make sense!!! The whole concept of the video is that they're using others' money for travel!

[@Spunklyy]

I’d say Tommy had the better trip, just for the mere fact that he met multiple people that were willing to chip in for his ticket. Multiple kind hearted people that are so willing to help out a stranger. Even if it is just for a video concept. Of course you can meet that once in a lifetime person as Eric did, but as far as the experience, the story to getting to the place you were able to get to; I’m going to have to go with Tommy.

[@afktravels]

Its beautiful to see that there are still genuine and generous people out there! Amazing challenge to push your own limits! 💯

[@luketorrez2483]

This video is a perfect example about how no matter what your current situation is, you can always connect with people and make new friends. Inspiring! :)

[@ThyCoolio]

Im so excited to be seeing more of the editors or, ex editors I should say, on the screen with you guys!

So I can’t believe I’m only just now discovering this channel. I have been bing watching ever since. The hearts and reflection of all of you guys is just incredible. Keep touching hearts and lives wherever you find your next adventure.

I was at Gatwick airport back in 2006. For whatever reason, the flight left 40 minutes early. I was already travelling 3 hours prior to the boarding time. I didn't see the notification as it was last minute as I was travelling. There were a lot of angry people in that queue that missed their flight. I couldn't afford another flight, and I protested to get another one the next morning, which they agreed to, as previously they told me to buy a new ticket. Ryanair are a terrible airliner. But, there was a family. Husband and wife, a baby and a young child of probably 4 years old. The airliner were unsympathetic and refused to help them, They couldn't afford to stay at the hotel or pay for a new flight. I saw another desk for another airliner open up nearby, and even the other side an airline desk for another airliner opened up. I saw an opportunity to speak out in defence of that poor family and shamed Ryanair for creating a problem and then expecting a mother with a newborn baby to sleep on the floor. I was told to shut up, I just talked louder and appealed to the security and asked if he had kids. He nodded and just stood there looking towards the Ryanair team in disgust. They soon came and offered to pay for the family to stay in the hotel and gave them a new ticket for the next day. I was more than happy to sleep on the floor knowing I had helped that family. I never flew Ryanair again. Always remember, there are still good people out there that will help you in some way, you just have to find them.

[@SoniasWay]

I’m getting the old yes theory vibe from this. Really excited to see this adventure

[@melicr92]

Tommy hands down had deep meaningful conversations with strangers and turned his adversity into a great idea. He worked harder so the victory is sweeter. And everybody knows Costa Rica’s Pura Vida is incomparable!

[@DiamondOrPoor78]

The best part of this video is that it shows there are still a lot of good people all over the world!

[@yeelunlai4592]

Would be a 👎 video with wasted kindness of people and unnecessary air travel (even with offset) until Thomas reflected and chatted with the Ukraine guy. I love Thomas so so much, what a sensitive guy with a kind soul ❤️

[@antisocial-gamer7293]

Tommy clearly wins just by the sheer kindness from random people in the airport and how they're willing to give a stranger some cash for something so spontaneous. Loved this video!

[@unknown94344]

Eric did something i believe in 100%. Manifesting your destiny whether big or small can bring great outcomes into your life and the life's of others. He was able to meet a kind stranger who had that gut feeling, he had the money and wanted to make Eric's dream of going to Hawaii come true. While Eric's trip was amazing the true purpose of today's video was the kindness of so many strangers, who might not have alot to offer, but all come together in the end to achieve something beyond them. This illustrates the power of kindness and what in can achieve when we all come together on anything we set our hearts to do

[@acwlove1504]

Honestly, one of the most amazing videos I've ever seen. I smiled the whole time. Gives me hope for humanity and my own future adventures. Hopefully some day I will run into you guys and I can tell you guys how incredible you are in person and seek discomfort!

[@samanthaelliott9487]

Lol me and my fiancée friggen cry every episode you guys post. This was soooo beautiful. The strength in giving back to strangers is such a blessing. I’m certainly going to try this with my crew and see what happens. Love seeking discomfort 💪🏼

[@katirose2755]

I have to say Eric’s trip was my favorite. He manifested what he wanted and had an epic time!

[@ashdrako]

This really kinda hit me like life. As an introvert myself, felt and related to tommy throughout the entire episode. Sometimes things in life just workout somehow and sometimes, you have to go through a lot of failures and sadness while patiently trying to wait but you just need to find those right people helping you go into that right direction.

[@barbie-pc4sq]

coming across yes theory's videos as well as seek discomfort's brought tears to my eyes and saved me once again like it did 2 years ago. i'm on a rough situation this past week and seeing all these people and knowing that there is so much more to life makes me want to live more than i ever did. this channel is indeed my life saver. thank you, yes theory ! : >

[@alvaroaltamirano303]

I never comment. But this is the most inspiring video I have seen in many years. The message of seeking discomfort is huge and powerful, but in this video I really saw the humanity in every single person. From 5-15,000 dólares, it shows how no one is a stranger, just friends that haven’t meet yet. When the guy from Ukrainian gave money to tommy I just cried. That’s humanity, helping each other out, being there for one another and no matter what is happening in your life, always listen and help. You guys are amazing!

[@casual3970]

Seeing yes theory Post a video in these hard Times with everything going on, really makes me grateful,these are worrying Times,but seeing yes theory spred kindness and showing strangers kindness gives me hope in this dark world we live in. Thank you yes theory And pray for Ukraine!

[@rion1365]

Wow your comment is get spammed by Bot lol

[@abigailpittard6778]

Tommy won this!! His determination despite the struggles all paid off when he got the chance to meet with people he's inspired and have in return inspired him Hawaii in terms of distance so he literally deserves the win!)

[@isabelgarcia3090]

I LOVED THIS VIDEO!! I lived my wish of going to Hawaii for surfing through Eric's experience on this video. I also loved how surreal it was that Eric met Jamie and experienced pipeline. I think Eric takes a win on the trip aspect of the video! However, it was amazing to see the power of human connection through Tommy's experience.

[@GameRangersYT]

I think Tommy won because although Eric had a great trip with lots of cool adventures, I think tommy made deeper connections with the people he was adventuring with. The people make the adventure!
