TRUCKERS PASSING THROUGH DALLAS

[@JokerFace55]

Glad to see you back. I’m a Plano guy.

[@Babsonthego4]

Ft Worth is where I usually dash. But, right now I am recovering from heart surgery with 3 stents in my heart. I’m in Palmview Texas very near McAllen… will be here until February. I suppose every time I watch your videos you talk about Austin so, that may be one of my next cities to check out.

[@bobbyhill8486]

I’m in McAllen, wishing you a speedy recovery! And hope you’re enjoying the Valley :)

[@Babsonthego4]

@@bobbyhill8486I seem to have very good days and then like yesterday I cleaned out part of my car and did 2 loads of laundry and today I am spent. I have a friend here that has me here to recover. It seems kinda difficult door Dashing here. I’m kinda used to smaller towns I suppose

[@Babsonthego4]

Where and when do you usually dash? I am finding it a bit difficult

[@GSM92]

DASHERS PASSING THROUGH HOUSTON

[@txhornsports]

I have to 100% agree with you. When I became homeless for short time in Austin, I was very fortunate to be able to sleep in the parking garage of the hospital I worked for, since I mostly worked at nights while going to school during the day. Plenty of street parking for me to stealth in my car not to mention the parking lot over by Zach Scott theater, or I could chill during the day on the weekends to really not be bothered. And before Covid there was always the Hancock H-E-B that was 24 hours where I would shop for my snacks, meals, as well as use the restroom if needed. About to go back into hotel Prius in a couple of months because I’m looking to leave Austin in Texas for the Pacific Northwest before the summer. He gets here next year. Totally looking forward to it!

[@Millymac777]

Hell yeah Jake! Back with anotha one. Your vid’s are so nostalgic to me, glad you’re back at it

[@Aznmf]

AAA service. Its 90 dollars a year. Make sure to get it. It helps when youre stuck and having car trouble. Worth the money.

[@toddncarmendavis2074]

Carmen was talking to me about your mom and I asked about you and your sister. She told me about your KZbin channel and I had to check it out. Great job! Love the content and editing is spot on! I've been sober for 10 years and loving life now. Keep it up, one day at a time! t.

[@EricJKuhns]

"I'm gonna raw dog this" 😂 Loved this video dude and congrats on 50K subs!

[@jasonbradford4176]

You’re one of my favorite KZbinrs! Glad you’re back in Dallas!

[@Limpe]

Thank you for sharing your stories! it's good to hear those InSights and be able to relate. I've listened to the podcast on Brandon Channel and it was really good, I appreciate you for putting it out there. Thanks for that too. It really brings about a sense of togetherness in Life to hear about the challenges of addiction and life Raw beyond that etc.. Glad you are here !

[@Islandgirl2133]

Fantastic video Jake! So well done!

[@nelstalgic7878]

Congratulations on you 50K subscribers ✨

[@jeremiahallyn4603]

I'm in Tyler, TX right now. Just to the east of Dallas. The weather down here is awesome! It's like October weather where I'm from, lol. Even the leaves look like it's still the middle of fall down here. It's wild! Awesome content as always Jake 🙌

[@marketdetective]

Great editing Jake 😊

[@delvaldog2869]

[@samueljoshua89]

[@TheBrainBazaar]

[@lukeb0319]

[@samuelsanchez2524]

Good Job brother proud of you!

[@Jc4947]

You’re videos are legit!!!

[@Cheryl_izzy]

wow i thought it would be the opposite with rent prices. i thought austin would be cheaper. turns out i was dead wrong. love these videos cause i might visit and need to know this stuff, cause even though i own a house, when i travel, i will be traveling and living in my car. glad to hear austin is safer too. good to know.

[@jeantuite-actress--imdb]

Dallas is getting expensive too in many areas but Austin still is more expensive overall

[@peterscuffle]

Can you show us some cliff diving in Lake Travis ?

[@JakeMcCollum]

I do need to make my way over there & experience it for sure!

[@TheTuckerProductions]

Great vid Jake! Keep at it, your vid quality is improving!

[@HolaBrazil]

YO DUDE PLEASE TRY THIS IN EL PASO!

[@thaknobodi]

Did 10 years so far in DFW. Heat kills.

[@michaelconover1559]

Hey Jake, just a reminder that your the man! Quick question, how do you find parks too sleep/stay at while traveling

[@ethansmith9504]

Living the dream brother

[@alvinmousseau1100]

Awesome video

[@livestrong4ever1986]

Crazy to see you’re still living in a car.

[@ballons789]

Hi Jake. I’ll be moving to TX in june, by myself and my soul. Im thinking about living out of my car and have been getting great information from your channel. Im not going to a big city, im going to South Lake. Been told thats where the rich people live. One concern i have is how to deal with the heat. Cant find a video on that yet, do you have one? I’ve been reading about hanging out in coffee shops, malls and libraries to stay out of the heat.

[@Alihan_Solo]

How I deal with it living in car in Florida is having things to do through the day around 8-9 in the morning until it starts getting darker. Cools down when it’s dark, my two rechargeable fans from Amazon help to keep me cool. Have one blowing on my legs and the other around my chest face area. This is good enough for me to sleep, and I damn near need it perfect to go to sleep lol

[@jpm4016]

Nice work! Start combing cities and giving reviews. People want that!!!!!

[@jkk2940]

guadalupe st, nueces st., pearl st, etc is deep heart of UT campus ,a total no go. best places for bathrooms are public librairies and community centers, open to the public. Targets, home depot and walmarts are also good to use during the day. if at night, sometimes motels will let you use their bathrooms in lobby, just say you are there to deliver food. Quiktrip bathrooms are always open 24 hours, and are relatively clean. Always use apps when eating out from fast food places, they have discounts on stuff and earn points for free food later on. I think church's chicken has a special on their tuesdays or wednesdays where you can get 8 pieces for like 9 bucks. thats 2 meals worth.. I always use the mcdonalds drink machines to fill up water bottles.

[@Null-o7j]

He isnin Austin. He can piss wherever.

[@clarkleakins879]

Which city has lower fuel prices? Which city has cooler/better summer temperatures? Looks like Austin is better for your income stream due to the younger culture. Have you found a specific section of Austin that uses Uber eats the most? How much of your delivery time are you only operating on the Prius battery?

[@ChristeEleison7]

How do you stay cool in the Texas heat while living in your car?

[@JakeMcCollum]

@@ChristeEleison7 Climate control, A/C, Moving to cooler states.

[@ChristeEleison7]

@ do you have a hybrid?

[@JakeMcCollum]

@ I do now. The first 2-3 years of living in my car I had a normal sedan.

[@ChristeEleison7]

@ any suggestions on how I should stay cool if I’m car living in the future other than what you mentioned already ?

[@JakeMcCollum]

@ Ideally just do what I already said. But maybe get a fan. External battery to power it.

[@tommycscat]

Dallas has A LOT more people than Austin because of the metropolitan area. When visiting (or thinking about) Dallas, you're really visiting the Metroplex. Ft. Worth, Arlington, Irving, Denton, etc, etc, etc... Austin is just Austin

[@Hogo69]

Those types of petty crime you mentioned aren’t unique to Dallas sadly it’s pretty common in many big cities. A few that were worse that I’ve been would be Cincinatti, Miami and LA.

[@JakeMcCollum]

Yeah if this video wasn’t just focused on Texas I would’ve said LA is the worst I’ve ever experienced.

[@GodOfLzz_]

I just came to Dallas from Austin living in my Tahoe.

[@sonnentag1]

I think stating the population as close to the same is a bit misleading, considering the population of greater Austin is roughly 2.5 million while the population of greater Dallas is over 8 million. The point of Austin being more geographically concentrated is very true though. That 8 million is spread over a much wider area.

[@trae74]

😂 such a doo doo boy! I love your face!

[@franciscofco]

Regarding Dallas, I want to ask you, as a tourist, is Deep Ellum a SAFE place to visit??, and also, should I visit Deep Ellum at night or during the day??. And my last question, how much time does a tourist regularly spend at the Bishop Arts District in Dallas???? Thank you

[@Fr33ToB3M3]

Every time I watch your videos I want that SpongeBob pillow more and more lol love your videos I am happy I joined the community

I am freaked out about Dallas traffic I was hit by a car as a pedestrian downtown while DoorDashing :( I was visiting my daughter who lived there ugh crazy drivers in Dallas and I’m from Cali that’s a shit show too 😝

[@nocopyrightmusicbackground7093]

The greatest youtuber in the world ❤ Love you bro ✌️ god bless you

[@petercena9497]

Dallas County - 2.6 million Travis County - 1.3 million

[@jerrykotzman4391]

Compare Dallas to Ft Worth.

[@kschmidt1967]

Good to catch up with you. It’s been about a year and (except for the bathroom chat), you seem more grown up. 😂 Don’t get rid of your car and bunk with a friend….you won’t like it long term. Besides what would happen to S. Bob?

[@yunusmammadli4439]

very cool

[@gabe2045]

[@sarashann]

Jake! Your content is so great. Subbed. Hope you're doing well. #ATX

Omg 😹😹😹I’m rollin you’re freakin funny 😹😹😹💩

[@tomkarnes69]

You can't drive on Dallas, not enough infrastructure to support half the country moving here, its broken

[@chingon3461]

Bro you need to travel to mexico and experience what your dollars can make you live.

[@BarnacleBob-fy7bo]

Neither if it's summer time

[@JosephMcMahon1]

Don’t make a move I’ll beat yo.*** 🔥💀

[@erikg913]

The Dallas Fort Worth area has 8 million people and Austin metro has 2 million. Dallas proper has a million people.

[@bervicksimien2848]

False. Dallas alone has almost 14 million people while Austin hasn't reached a million yet.

[@Null-o7j]

DFW has 90% poors, while Austin has 10% poors. The result is that Austin has a better gig economy.

[@andymountain130]

Witch one did Debbie come from???

[@Null-o7j]

If you're gonna do gig economy, probably Austin. Dallas is a city full of mostly poors. Austin is thoroughly gentrified so there is more money sloshing around.

[@HolaBrazil]

PLEASE TELL US HOW MUCH MONEY YOU GIVE WHEN YOU GET KNOCKS AT NIGHT.

[@JakeMcCollum]

I don’t give them money I give them niceiphones

[@rudfil]

Just plop one down. 🤣…

[@samuelvera9449]

hilarious

[@peterlee3467]

It's no contest, Austin is much better. There's a reason everyone is flocking there. Even though I'm more right leaning politically I like it a lot, but I hope it doesn't go the way of SF or Portland any time soon.

[@bervicksimien2848]

Lol. Dallas is far beyond Austin and has more to offer. Let's just be real.
