our no phone roadtrip.

[@makariespe]

EDIT: if you liked this video you should check out the Live Laugh Larry podcast on youtube or wherever you listen to podcasts 😆 Hey everyone! I just wanted to add a quick disclaimer right off the bat: I brought my phone with me to film (it's the camera I use for all videos) and for emergencies (dad has a heart condition and also life happens sometimes). My phone was on airplane mode with the wifi and bluetooth turned off the entire trip :) I hope you all have a great day and thanks for watching!! :)

[@everydayangel]

i'm honestly glad you said this, since i was a bit worried about not having a phone for emergencies :)

[@ZengHuaXiansheng]

That’s actually cheating (in a good way though) but I’m glad you caught the fairy! 😅 Just kidding, I really enjoy watching your videos. They always make me happy.

[@johannabjorkell4226]

And that end had me bawling. Wow. Thanks for sharing your wholesome relationship ❤

[@_TheElMan]

Makari, it was borderline criminal this was only 13 mins. The amazing views and the banter with your dad deserves an hour long special 😂

[@louielouie_1791]

wise decision. you'll never know when emergency situation happens.

[@kathrynshehan1203]

The last video your dad took and said this is the coolest thing I've ever gotten to do with my kid, made me tear up instantly

[@aaronisms]

Same. He's officially the best dad on the internet @makariespe

[@knalliebar]

Us too... My partner has a very absent father

[@pedrohoffmann800]

same

[@heidiahrenholtz495]

Me to.

[@dalemonaco]

Wow the end really got to me too

[@sobuboss]

Imagine the feeling of accomplishment when your fully grown daughter asks if you wanna join her for a father-daughter road trip.

[@debbiemah6746]

Right??!!!❤

[@snehamishra7427]

I don't wanna be mean but isn't that common?

[@k1ng_chicken]

@@snehamishra7427unfortunately, a lot of families don’t see each other except for the major holidays, if at all. Once the kids leave the home, go off to college or get married, they ain’t coming back. Pretty sad. Didn’t used to be that way.

[@CapnCaroline]

I have never seen such a beautiful example of a wholesome relationship between daughter and father this is awesome

[@raquels.]

Makari's dad is out here healing all our father wounds ❤

[@MsJavalicious]

Your dad as an alarm clock was my favorite recurring bit. ❤

[@teadesi]

💯

[@sheskis613]

Here I was just vibing and bopping along and your dad has me burst into tears in the last 30 seconds. So sweet.

[@makariespe]

😆😆

[@mythicalmim]

You have become one of my favorite content creators, so quickly. I don't have many people that I immediately click on videos for anymore, but the energy you give off is exactly what I need. And your dad at the end 😭 so sweet!!!

[@raquels.]

I completely agree! Her content always brightens my day!

[@Maitreya3001]

same here I just found this channel and now I'm binging

[@makariespe]

Thank you so much!!

[@ShelbyLynnLives]

Ok this is officially one of the most beautiful videos I’ve ever seen. 😭 the trip, the relationship between you and your father, just wow all around!!

[@_TheElMan]

Makari, it's borderline criminal to make a video with scenery that beautiful, and the hilarious banter with your dad but only 13 minutes. Need an hour long special 😂

[@evamarietje163]

True!!

[@makariespe]

😆

[@NoelSlevin]

Thanks for sharing your special times with your dad with us all. Your dad is pure gold. You both are!

[@makariespe]

Glad you enjoyed it! :)

[@Kerry-gi7ce]

Your dads song honestly made me tear up, especially the line “we’re best friends” - so clear through your relationship! He should consider making an album! X

[@makariespe]

Dad get on it!!

[@WhaChuUpTo]

I second this!!! 🤗

[@stylizeyou5875]

I loved his song, the adaptation of the lyrics, and his voice!

[@ChelseaJeanBentley]

honestly such a good voice and song! It took me til halfway through to realise it was your dad

[@marjolaine30]

Hi ! I found the song on the channel of Makaris dad. It's "Hockey Bus Memories: On the Road Again" and the channel is "Larry espe". There's many others song, enjoy !

[@abdelhaleemwaheed131]

don't you ever stop this dad's vlogs

[@tako_749]

“This is your quiet meditative alarm clock” 😄

[@Rcj12]

I have been estranged from my biological father for roughly 14 years, so please believe me when I say, you have a really great dad. Please cherish him while you can and give him a hug for me 🥹

[@kalliste01]

I haven't seen my Dad in about the same amount of time. Growing up we were very close, but he changed and treated me in a way I couldn't accept. Videos like this make me wish that hadn't happened.

[@WhaChuUpTo]

Sending you so much love. This MSG broke my heart 😩 I've had a push and pull relationship with my dad growing up but we're finally learning to accept and cherish each other without expectations now. 🥹

[@MajaHuse]

Same here ❤

[@marilynscharnhorst8598]

You're so lucky to have a relationship like that with your dad. How awesome to so genuinely enjoy each other's company

[@alepolait8951]

Just wanted to say, i've had the shittiest year. And i was lost in a vortex of depressing content, ranging from true crime to politics, to drama channels. Finding your channel brought back a lot of positivity to my internet, it's like a warm hug. You keep it real, it's not all sunshine and rainbows but, there's so much good things about life. As i try to crawl out of my depression, your content feels like a lifeline of how things could be. Thank you, Makari!

[@makariespe]

Awe jeez, thank you so much for sharing this

[@janaturlich1403]

imagine having a great, kind dad to do something like this. so happy for you.

[@emilydayoub7071]

I was on the brink of tears for 10 minutes and then your sweet little dad just had to make a cute little clip

[@carlina44]

The most wholesome channel on KZbin. It's like drinking a warm cup of cocoa 😊

[@tesfahaile2185]

It is also like eating a slice of fresh cake, or swallowing a rich chocolate truffle and letting it melt in your mouth. 😋🤤😊

[@aellyri]

your dad's little speech at the end made me cry, you guys are so wholesome and sweet!! thanks for inviting us along to your journey

[@c_ss_ndr_]

this is so sweet! As a kid I was the designated map-reader while my aunt drove, we would use a highlighter to trace our route on the map before we left to help prevent us from getting lost. I highly recommend it :)

[@keatsiann]

Crying happy tears at this gentle loving video. My dad would’ve turned 61 yesterday had he survived his own traumas and his struggle with alcoholism. I don’t have a lot of safe memories with him, but one that makes me miss him is hiking up in Alaska together. I sometimes still feel him when it snows like that, how it did by the waterfall. I’m glad he’s at rest and can try again in a new life, but I also really miss having a father. This was really beautiful and healing to watch and I’m so happy for you two. May you have many many manyyy more happy trips together 🤍🥹

[@susi131]

This makes me happy and sad at the same time. Sad because I don't really have a good relationship with my parents. We're so different and they caused me so much trauma by the way the raised me (or the lack of actually raising me) I cannot have a conversation that lasts longer than 5 minutes with them because we have absolutely nothing to say to each other. But I hope that I can build such a relationship with my own children so we can do such amazing things together one day.

[@labidisaoussen7036]

Only half of the video in and OMG your relationship with your father is so healthy and heartwarming, your dad's message at the end got me tearing up

[@DanceAddikt]

I have two young daughters and watching how wholesome your relationship is with your dad makes me tear up thinking my girls will be like that with their dad someday :')

[@mah0ne1]

I'm convinced that your dad is the best human ever.

[@nixdexia]

this is kinda thing that i would like to do with my family too one day, such a blessing

[@gray_mara]

I lost my Dad ten years ago. I'm so glad we had experiences like this. Spend time with your loved ones and let yourself be really present for them. You won't regret it.

[@nefertitimontoya]

Same ❤ sending you love

[@Hunaynah]

I just discovered your channel, and just a few seconds into the video I'm already sobbing, realizing that I badly wanted to take my father for a trip, even for maybe a day or two to enjoy the nature and his company. Unfortunately he's frail and can't move around anymore due to old age. All his life, he worked hard to send to school not just us, his kids, but also our cousins from his side and my mother's. What a selfless man indeed. I love him so much.

[@janelte]

I found myself grinning like an idiot throughout this and then was caught out with tears at your dad's sincerity at the end. What a wonderful use of the internet!

[@barneyallen5377]

I don’t know which I love more; the amazing countryside or your adorable relationship with your dad. Road trips like this with my daughters is definitely on my bucket list.

[@daniaraafat1937]

I just want say you dont know how this video impacted me it’s just kind of magical it may sound dramatic but the amount of good energy this video has it made me think more about life and how im sitting in my room worrying about my body and how i look and being insecure while life is much more bigger Thank you ❤

[@makariespe]

Awe jeez thank you for this

[@PeterPanosososos]

I can't even put into words how likeable you two are - especially with your identical smiles. With parents like that, only a great person could be born!

[@marlenemercedes]

You can really see the love between you and your amazing dad! ❤ So precious!

[@kyiatruong]

This undoubtedly made me tear up. Thank you for sharing these moments in such a precious way.

[@fleur6288]

So beautiful to see how close you are with your father. And I even had tears in my eyes because your father said it so beautifully at the end. Your youtube channel is my favorite 😊

[@SS-do1rc]

This video is like a ray of sunshine in the middle of a storm. Thank you being like this, Makari.

[@jamesprosser7236]

I don’t know how KZbin recommended me this… but I’m sure glad it did. I watched right till the end and realised I had a big smile the entire time. So wholesome. Great video.

[@madddoll8685]

I am in tears with his message at the end omggggg. It's SO lovely to see a dad so involved with his kid and it's clear that he loves you so much. I am older than you are Makari, and had a very close bond with my dad for many years. Unfortunately things changed a while ago, and now I live very far away from him. We are not close like before. This really tugged at my heart strings but I'm so happy you get to do this together.

[@koryvictor8827]

Also I’m so glad you had your dad singing in the background! Love it!!

[@makariespe]

Awe I love to hear it! :)

[@debbiemah6746]

Such a keepsake, eh!!?❤

[@shesadhdifferent]

What a warm, beautiful, genuine video. Your friendship with your dad is so apparent. Also I was cracking up every time we heard the sweet little dad alarm clock then the dramatic music as you took off your eye mask 😭 New sub and can’t wait to explore more of your stories!

[@emilyspirky]

The wholesome moments between your dad and you in this video make me love and miss my dad. Going to give him a call now to tell him that I love him. ❤ I love your videos!

[@debbiemah6746]

Aweeeeeee. Soooooo gooood! Proud of these two and the impact that is happening!

[@Biboz0r]

As a dad of a toddler, your videos with your dad hit me right in the feels every time

[@theanonymousgamer8394]

He is just a chill guy on a road trip with his daughter

[@thaliamarin4619]

I am crying!!! it’s so lovely to see you both spending time together🥹❤️

[@seoa0404]

This is probably one of the most beautiful videos that I’ve ever watched

[@KoteGreen]

Your relationship with your dad is so friggin precious ❤ it’s so heartwarming watching all the videos w you guys. Thank you for sharing a snippet into your world

Clicked - didn’t know what to expect, Left - subscribed and forget in love with both of your characters🥺

[@JoanaMagify]

Oh dear, you two are just adorable! Loved the idea, the trip and I even teared up with that final message from your dad! Absolutely adorable!!

[@mitch_smith]

I'm not crying, you're crying! (dad video) This reminded me of the trips Dad and I had together. Very happy for you guys!

[@wiktorkaxv7225]

I love it, started watching it in the morning and waited whole day thinking about it to finish it…😆 Love the relationship between you two! Felt like I was with you whole time

[@anacodreanu7080]

your dad is the dream dad of everyone ❤ waiting for more videos

[@chiamakaenansofor]

If I had this kind of relationship with my dad, I would have been a better person. Cherish these time 😢.

[@LlCj-lk6ys]

You two are adorable. I came for the cycling adventures content but stayed for the story telling ❤ keep it up!

[@Najmarbles]

That made me cry, your Dad look alot like my dad and we have the same relationship, I wish we can do this one day 🇸🇦❤🇺🇸

[@rr1210]

I was smiling throughout the video. It is such a dreamy, wonderful clip-so amazing. Great job on the content, filmography, editing, and music choices. It was like watching a short movie. I really loved it.

[@makariespe]

Hey thank you so much! This is so kind

[@adityakankal]

I stumbled upon this channel just now through KZbin recommendations, and I must say, it’s incredibly wholesome to watch. It makes me yearn for a road trip with my dad, free from the distractions of phones, just the two of us in a beautiful setting.

[@mashakozlovskaya4312]

This video made me feel so happy! Thank you sooo much!!!!

[@amybeaudoin6031]

I started tearing up at the end thinking about how special it is that you're spending all this time with your dad. It's so very uplifting, and makes me want to treasure my time with my parents and make lasting memories like these. Thank you for sharing ♥

[@eloyoneill3875]

This is one of the best videos I've ever watched.

[@hamz7044]

For the past 6-8 months, your channel has been my comfort place on KZbin. I absolutely love all your videos and watch them without ever getting bored. I really admire, and honestly envy, the bond you have with your dad. Great video-not a single minute wasted!

[@spumoni9713]

Thanks for making me have to hold back tears while I am at work watching this lol. I LOVE your adventures with your Dad, such great memories. As someone who lost their Dad...appreciate every moment!!

[@thedavelowry]

This was the first video the KZbin algorithm fed to me of yours and I was hooked from the get go. Such a wonderful wholesome video of you and your Dad! Instant subscribe from me and hope for more stories of the two of you. Where’s the next adventure to with Larry?

[@annonymously1778]

this should be nominated for short film cat in Oscars!

[@mariapirela5777]

you both have a lovely energy!! I could'nt stop smilling while I was watching the video

[@anaclaudiaguimaraes46]

great bonding with your dad on an old school trip with no phones and only maps for direction. great memories created. hope to see the whole family doing this kind of trip. good luck and keep safe always.

You have very quickly become my favorite KZbinr. Your dad is a gem and I can't wait for you two to pick up Live Laugh Larry again, if you ever will. What a fantastic video.

[@memonahaq6785]

This is one of the most wholesome things I've ever seen. God bless you and your dad!

[@piano_works]

What a find! Such great chemistry between you too -great content and so glad to have found the channel.

[@haileyhart3730]

You are so blessed to have such a great relationship with your dad. This was so cool to watch!

[@abs9418]

I loved this so much 😊❤ Thank you for sharing! Such a cool relationship with your Dad. His alarm sounds at the beginning of each morning are amazing 😂

[@yanagorobets1105]

I'm so grateful you have decided to launch your youtube channel back then! I genuinely enjoy watching all of your videos ❤ And seeing your relationships with dad is so therapeutic, I feel so happy inside!

[@jamiedavis740]

I just took a trip with my dad and brother. First time for all of us, as we are all middle aged or better. Your trip’s wholesomeness is what I was hoping for from my trip. I have a better relationship with my kids than my dad has with his and I look forward to adventures with them more than ever. Thanks for all of your content!

[@travisanderson4263]

That message at the end 🙏😢 Your dad is pretty cool.

[@myrelaxationjourney1]

Wow I loved this! 🥰 You guys have a fantastic relationship and great spirits! 🥰 Super fun and cozy, Thank you for sharing! 😄 Cheers from Sweden! 🥳

[@excellentenglish5307]

THE MOST WHOLESOME THING I’VE SEEN ON THE INTERNET IN A LONG, LONG TIME! Your work is great! Keep going!

[@noannellesky9360]

Your relationship with your dad is so beautiful and precious ❤️ I can’t express how wonderful this video was, like a hug straight to my heart. Thank you for sharing this special trip with us (and for inspiring me to do my own no phone trip! I just need to find someone willing to try that experience with me 😅)

[@makerofwhatever]

Wanted to make a comment along the lines of “This made me cry. Thanks.” But apparently everybody cried a little. My dad was mostly absent in my childhood, I am happy I have any relationship with my dad and we will probably never have a relationship like this. And even if he never left, for us to have this kind of relationship would require of him to be a completely different person. But if he never left, I would never have my sibblings from both my parents further relationships. It is bittersweet how life has worked out and this makes me hopefull, once all of our collective parents will be gone, we the children will have each other in one form or another.

[@carolinejones5264]

Your dad sitting in the chair reading his book is the best thing I’ve seen all day

[@nataliassis]

What an awesome way to travel, you've inspired me! Also I was not expecting to get all teared up, but what a lovely last clip from your dad 😭💜

[@makariespe]

I know right? :')

[@makariespe]

I found it when I was editing

[@annitakaloudi3937]

This is the cutest and most wholesome video I have seen in a while🫶

[@maddinar6727]

I love all the videos you make with your dad. I don't have a relationship with mine so it's nice to see this and imagine my husband being this close with our future kids. Really warms my heart. 💕

[@nat.in.nature]

Oh my. Your dad is absolutely precious. You all are. What lovely people you guys are. So fun. And those hotels were all beautiful! Thank you for sharing.

[@TomiSauvage]

This video is the best video I've seen in a while, and the best of your channel. Great job, awesome concept, true emotions. I wish I got to do something like that with my dad when he was still alive.

[@JBProductionsxx]

What a lovely video! Nice to see you and your Dad having a fun trip!

[@ellaella2323]

this is the cutest idea. Memories for a lifetime.

[@nokitch]

Love the thumbnail! And the pics after each day. Was a good touch!

[@Krysco51]

Cherish your time with your dad. Sometimes I take my dad for granted. It’s videos like this that really remind me of what’s important.

[@eloisemitchell3118]

I have not commented on a video more than maybe 3 times in my life but I had to tell you -- this is one of the sweetest videos I have ever seen. You and your dads smiles and laughter had me feeling like everything will be okay in the world! Sentimental and nostalgic. I live 5,000 miles away from my dad and this had me crying, thank you for being my reminder to send a message to my dad today. I hope we get to take another road trip together one day just like you two
