My Ontarian village has 4 stop lights, or 3, depending on how you count them. 2 ones within the village itself and 2 that are on the border between the village and the neighbouring city. That's how you can tell we're important and influential.

[@Hell4Gamers]

As a local of Ontario, next time you come through, I'd highly recommend checking out Elora Gorge/conservation area and Rockwood conservation area. Both were formed at the end of the ice age as massive lakes of surface water on the ice sheets pierced through draining the massive bodies of water down to the rock below. This rushing water dragging rock and debris carved through the stone forming caves and holes in solid rock, making for amazing natural sights, hiking, and swimming areas.

[@PhantomPhoton]

I'm in Canada, but Stratford is physically closer to Tennessee than it is to Vancouver! 😅

[@meghanchilders2180]

The guppy geyser continues to make me laugh every time I see it in use. I'm glad you enjoyed your trip and congrats on your Decked Out points!

[@brujosol]

::sitting in New Orleans, LA listening to the story about hotel furniture:: we're not giving up or crawfish boils anytime soon, so if they want a butt ton of business, they'll get on making tables that can handle a boil. We don't need them to be fancy. They're usually covered in 2 or 3 layers of newspaper anyway

[@karaleetdrenduringdragon8961]

The shaders for the underwater scenes were super cool. Congrats in DO. I'm glad you had fun in Canada. :)

[@raddad3442]

It's cute when Joe is talking about an event in Canada like we can all just drop by. It's quicker to drive from Niagara Falls, Ontario to New Orleans then from Niagara Falls to the west end of Ontario.

[@knitterknerd]

Sounds like Tennessee! Bristol, TN to Canada is much shorter than Bristol to Memphis.

[@ibpants]

There are some good Decked Out cubbies, but Joe's cubby is easily my favourite! The added inconvenience of the puffer fish only makes it better.

[@BlahCraft1]

Congrats Joe! Your "slow and steady" tome submission strategy seems to be doing well!

[@mimasweets]

based on the last uk travel log i'm going to really enjoy this episode. fingers crossed you got called out at another show.

[@miniciominiciominicio]

Your tales of your travels is always something I look forward to hearing. I know it's gonna be a good episode xD Glad you and your fiancée are able to take advantage of Canada as a rendezvous spot! :) 13:36 I'm so glad you got to see Niagara Falls from our side. Experiencing is way better than simply knowing. My family did our first road trip from Alberta to Ontario when I was not quite 10 years old and we saw the Falls during a pitstop. What a incredible sight. I'm not sure when I saw the Falls from the US side but at one point I was visiting family in Toronto and we crossed the border for a few hours for shopping. Coming back through the border I was shocked at how mediocre the Falls looked. Ever since then I've felt pity for Americans. lol j/k j/k 34:12 What does Etho say after you sneak a Night Vision potion into his inventory? "Oh, that's good." ? 34:51 I was watching Tango's stream: there was instant spamming of BOLAMEGRIAN in the chat as Tango noted half a minute later 35:16 35:33 I initially thought that Etho brought his own potion because of the darkness meme in the dungeon lobby. That was nice of you to make and then give it to Etho so he could make that joke lol 42:13 As a self-appointed fact checker I must correct Tango! Etho does not have the most runs. He doesn't even have the 2nd most runs. In fact, he ties with Cub AND Pearl for 3rd most runs at 51. 2nd most runs goes to Doc with 52 runs. *First* *place* *is* *Joe* *with* *53* *runs* ! Congrats on maintaining your 2nd place overall ranking by coming in 4th!

[@dine8613]

I could listen to Joe talk about his adventures forever

[@sirromap1021]

Thank you Joe for sharing your adventure near my home. As someone who lives East of Toronto, and regularly travels through Kitchener (we usually go around Stratford as my family lives north of London) I know all these towns/cities Joe mentioned.

[@sirromap1021]

Scarborough is pronounced scar-burr-oh, or scar-bro, not scar-bra. But I'll forgive you for that ❤️

[@janponic1550]

Goblin Macbeth sounds amazing, definitely would enjoy seeing that. What a pity I live on an entirely different continent.

[@miniciominiciominicio]

The first time the maps ran out was on the 574th run which was Impulse's Phase 3 Run #7. The second time the maps ran out was the 836th run which was Gem's Phase 4 Run #8. Gem has the worst luck. Who will be next? 44:43 Tango says Decked Out 1 was run "three hundred and 70-something times" but he actually showed it in his livestream uploaded November 5, 2020 called "Live Stream - Hermitcraft - Project Chat and Toon Towers" at 01:31:43 Decked Out 1's final total: *489* runs Decked Out 2's current total: 932 which is 1.9x more so far. It'll likely end up with a final total above 1800; maybe even up to 2000.

[@curtisrenwick5722]

I was in Niagara in October for work! I recommend the Ferris wheel at night, you get a good view of the falls lite up. If you are in Stratford in April, they do a swan walk. They walk the swans from their winter home to the Avon River, right down the streets. It’s a big event, very cool to watch.

[@aspect_of_tiamat905]

8:54 they do it in rural pennsylvania too, the bragging about stoplights thing! The town I grew up in didn't have any (though, if they were still a classification it was tiny enough that the population would've classified it as a hamlet), and my mom was always joking about how it shocked everyone in the town *she* grew up in when they put a third stoplight in

[@kirstyjordan7685]

Great shaders Joe, swimming through the water reminded me of running through icy caves, somehow. Thanks for the quick score updates!

[@purple-cho]

Joe - and other pinball enjoyers in the community - I have a video recommendation for you! The channel Technology Connections recently explored how older pinball machines worked, back before computers/microprocessors were widely available to use in them. I found it really interesting and it sounds like there may be a part 2 on the way eventually. The things that engineers managed to accomplish purely with electromechanical components are really impressive!

[@Hell4Gamers]

Just had the opportunity to see Monty Python's Spamalot in Stratford's Avon Theatre. Great show, great production. I'm really happy I had that experience.

[@Corvinwhite]

Not everything is bad in the world they can be welcoming and nice I’m glad you had a fun time and I hope you have a good wedding

[@quill9918]

love watching joe’s points steadily tick upwards tbh its very fun

[@Corvinwhite]

That’s hilarious what they did when they were running late and it’s parking was a great excuse that makes sense really it does it’s Canada what are you expect man lol

[@Corvinwhite]

My fall break is in a week I hope your trip went very well and I’m glad that you found someone you love I don’t know how it works when you live in different countries but you seem happy and I’m glad

[@Rafzalo]

>even if the exits were only 2 lanes 2 lane exit is small?!?! The US sure is wild

[@DuelScreen]

I think he must be combining both offramps to other roads and interstate splits. I've never seen an offramp more than 2 lanes but interstate splits are often 3 or 4.

[@knitterknerd]

@@DuelScreen Knowing he's in Nashville, yeah, I'm sure that's what it is. It seems like every other "exit" is interstates either joining, splitting, or both.

[@Corvinwhite]

Did you know that waterfall is a slowly moving backwards because they’re a road in the soil that they’re flowing down I hope the people never disturb natural wonders they are beautiful absolutely gorgeous and the people messing up I will go insane

[@Corvinwhite]

That is a high number of times like games been played have fun

[@tonyhamilton9764]

Ice wine is amazing. Discovered that in Niagara too, so good but it turns into a very expensive habit...

[@natthesquirrel]

So glad to hear you enjoyed your time in our beautiful province! The Falls are also home to a beautiful butterfly conservatory and bird sanctuary! Niagara ice wine is amazing! No where says JoeHills more however than the Stratford Shakespear Festival! I don't know why I'm surprised you know Slings & Arrows but it really was such a great show! Its really just magic hearing you speak the praises of towns and cities I have made so many memories in!

[@Corvinwhite]

Gray background there I said I’ve never been but sounds fun the falls Niagara Falls it sounds like it might be a good time but I’m legally blind so I’m not sure if it would help me your contact is awesome keep it up

[@SealandPK]

Ice wine is very good you should definitely try it.

[@Danior78]

As someone who grew up in Toronto.... Toronto is expensive for Torontonians - Stratford is great... we often will drive down to Niagara just for lunch or shopping across the border.... hope the fiancée visa comes through soon - due to pandemic process has been slowed.

[@AndyK1970]

When people started mentioning sportsball as reasons for the delay in the start of phase 5, first thing I thought was "don't mention the Rugby World Cup with Pearl in the room" 😂 (Australia didn't make playoffs, my South Africa are playing semi-finals against England on Saturday)

[@MrShenanigans9]

You're doing incredibly well in Decked Out 2 and are by far and away the Dark Horse of Victory!!! Keep it up! i hope you topple Etho XD Rootin for you bud, keep it up.

[@SyrinxQ72]

Glad you had a great time visting my province Joe, and as a huge RUSH fan, thank you for this reference 29:44

[@etunpeudevitriol]

29:40 "So we drove back from Stratford to Mississauga, which is where the airport YYZ was in, cause we didn't want to be in a rush to get back to the airport the next morning" Probably unintentional Rush pun, but I still appreciate it. Badum tss

[@Corvinwhite]

I hope you had fun glad you’re all right keep up the good work

[@ProfessorMaple2]

I'm glad you had a good time in my home province, Joe. Come back any time!

[@Moody_lilac]

you're doing so good Joe!

[@stephaniehall9467]

So proud of the current second overall! Keep at it!

[@milohobo9186]

Louisiana is hard on all kinds of infrastructure. Between heat, humidity, and people who over indulge in adult beverages things have to be tough to survive here.

[@Alice-not-Alice]

Wow, that tomes trade with Etho at the start of the phase wound up being crucial

[@Corvinwhite]

Sorry had to do that but I’m glad you’re OK

[@VJaneOZ]

Paul Gross so very jealous. I liked Slings and Arrows buy loved him in Due South and have followed his work since then.

[@curtisrenwick5722]

He’s great in Men with Brooms, too. Such a fun movie!

[@thenopequeen]

Ah, the spam-clicking-the-bed-glitch

[@ultimatewager]

Amazing use of the word "innit". Not many Americans can pull that off.

[@emmaculleton9123]

I found you through my DO obsession and I think I'll be staying to listen to your poetry and family music. I could honestly listen to you ramble about your trips/day to day experiences while you collect fish all day long. In a couple of your previous runs you found potions in the brewing stand after you put something on the pressure plate but I think you assumed they were there randomly, could you check again if they're releases when you use the pressure plate? (There's also a Stratford in London England, but don't bother going there)

[@mccleslie13]

Happy it sounds like your holiday away was a good trip!

[@andrewjohnston1834]

Thanks for visiting joe!

[@isabellefaguy7351]

Another "Joe's adventures IRL" video! :-)

[@Shesstitchin]

First drive after a car accident is always the worst 😫

[@emilychristianlist6868]

Love these story telling episodes. Glad you had a good trip! For what it’s worth, we just got an electric car and did a pretty substantial road trip that included some remote areas of northern Ontario. From our experience, Canada is very EV friendly, even in the more remote areas. So, if you ever find yourself in the same situation, you can feel more confident about taking the EV option.

[@alexminecraftstuffs3248]

Most valid Patreon plug ever

[@jozyblu8845]

Howdy joe, really enjoyed today episode, felt like I was listening to a podcast as I drive to work. Now I wanna go to Toronto. Learn so much. More podcast shows in the future will be gladly welcome.

[@paulkuch420]

Oh you were here when it was warm as balls those days. Then 2 days later it was mid 40's

[@Corvinwhite]

Sounds hilarious

[@Kasmiur]

Like the shades especially underwater.

[@ByronKirby]

Go Joe!!

[@technician0096]

where’d you go in Canada? Ontario? Nice! i was there a few months ago for my cousins wedding. Newfoundland is my personal favourite, but i may be a little biased… as that’s my home 😅😂

[@CarbonKnights]

YYZ and you didn't want to be in a Rush... I see what you did there

[@PenguinEmpress87]

1/4 of the view of the falls from the Ferris wheel is a parking lot 😐

[@ryancox1808]

Sorry to hear you got in an accident! I work in Downtown Nashville, and the commute from Lebanon to downtown every morning is awful. Worst drivers in the nation. Lol

[@mimasweets]

wth with the crawfish boil story XD

[@CorwinAlexander]

"As a long-time Al Yankovic fan I forgot the buckets again" I didn't know that was a trait of Al Yankovic fans. Is it forgetfulness in general, or just buckets? Seriously, though, I've never enjoyed one of your stories more.

[@justifiedgold]

Honda Fit drivers unite

[@dugganpersyn9653]

Epic

[@Corvinwhite]

Your fiancé sounds really nice you should go visit in Newfoundland and Go meet Kim

[@thomasfplm]

2:48 In my opinion, sedans are the worst cars to drive. They are long, so they are less manoeuvrable than smaller ones, and they are low, so you don't have the visibility of a truck of a SUV.

[@dylanbrown3090]

Joe, did your insurance company ask for the $1000 to be given to them in gift cards??

[@dionelr]

I mean, Sean Astin went all over middle earth so he might be in Canada.

[@darkloore]

What shader and shader settings did you use to achieve that view underwater. I love it and might just have to switch shaders just for that!

[@JoeHillsTSD]

Rethinking voxels on ultra

[@JamyRyals]

Don’t go chasing waterfalls, please stick to the dungeons and the playfields you’re used to

[@Corvinwhite]

I play on bedrock I can’t catch fish to save my life I’ve only caught a couple

[@Corvinwhite]

Best place to die they should feel honored lol

[@atlasreacts6483]

Joooooe you’re the only one to include the phase 4 finals and didn’t keep the shard distribution 😢

[@eMe_peridot_hare]

To be fair, the phase 4 finals were streamed live on Tango's channel only a few hours before this episode went live... Other people in the next few days will probably include the full thing. Or not! The VOD for that stream will be uploaded soon, so that's an option too :D

[@rachelkim4457]

Is there anyway to contest the insurance people? I feel like its all kinds of shady to give you money and then ask for it back… smellin a lil fishy

[@germchang]

If you ever stay in Toronto again, I visited recently during a holiday and Airbnb was 1000% a move

[@germchang]

Aside from that though I absolutely loved Toronto, enough to start to consider moving there

[@laurynmcbadger863]

Airbnb take properties away from locals and are often owned by terrible people. Hotels are absolutely fine.

[@germchang]

@@laurynmcbadger863 you act as if hotels don't do the same thing? If anything it's more often than not that airbnbs are owned by local people and rented out by them as compared to hotels which are owned by large multinational corporations (like IHG)

[@knitterknerd]

Wait, you rented a car in the Nashville area and they actually managed to get a car to you? On the day you needed it? In my experience, that's pretty lucky.

[@JoeHillsTSD]

I rented a car in Toronto.

[@knitterknerd]

@@JoeHillsTSD Ah, that makes more sense!

[@Corvinwhite]

I don’t hate it I just don’t understand

[@kazimirr.3576]

hi

hi.
