I love how Chris acts like the supportive dad that has little clue about what Sharla is doing but is all for it as long as she's happy.

Chris definitely gives off dad vibes

[@LordLiquidBaconII]

Chris has more drip than my dad.

[@ElizabethSmith0408]

That's exactly how it feels 🤣

[@papaquonis]

This video is an excellent illustration of why being a collector isn’t necessarily about the end result - it’s about the journey getting there.

[@ProtoMarcus]

Modern studies and research even discovered that the _''It's about the journey, not destination''_ is truer than ever - we've discovered we get a bigger and greater dopamine _(hormone related to reward, satisfaction, pleasure)_ rush when we work _towards_ our goals rather than when we meet them!

[@TacComControl]

It Absolutely is about the Journey, and it's important to remember while you're on that Journey that you can definitely do it as long as you Don't Stop Believing, even if you and the people you're collecting with end up going their Separate Ways, just remember that you can Faithfully accomplish whatever your goal is!

[@pokemonlidadventures]

this is exactly how i feel! that is life!

[@deeandhappy4312]

Why is Chris like a grumpy dad, driving his two excited kids around on a pokehunt 😂

Hanging out this weekend was one of the best times I've had in a long time! Thanks for letting me tag along on this Poke-venture! I'll keep my fingers crossed that at least one of us wins the lottery XD (PS: I was geeking out at the quality of the camera, I really need to pick me up one of those, much better than lugging my huge camera around!) PSS: Yes, those strawberries were amazing!

[@TacComControl]

Real talk, I genuinely like the chemistry that Shar and Chris have, where Chris is spending a little less time being an angry miserable British person, and spending more time being that silly Dad type doing things that make Sharla shake her head and roll her eyes. XD. Shar brings out Chris's Funny, and Chris brings out Shar's Sass.

After watching this video, Chris Broad has gone up exponentially in my esteem. What a good and loyal friend he is to agree to drive Sharla around the Japanese countryside for an entire day so that she can collect photos of Pokemon manhole covers. I smell a kind and decent human being.
