I Lived at a Gas Station for 48 Hours

Thanks so much for watching! What's the wildest thing you've ever seen at a gas station??? PS - here's the link to get 50% off your first box from Factor (use code REVUE50): bit.ly/465dxwC

Ya should try to become a trucker ya might like it

[@kailaholmes1839]

One time we took a family road trip across the country. We always looked for travel gas stations and happened across one with over 10 slurpee flavors. It might have been Flying J or something but it was epic!

Someone trying to mug my car.

[@bugzpudding]

Tonight at my overnight found a cute lil empty fireball shot underneath the fountain soda

[@bugzpudding]

and then people wise: had someone yell at me because he told me he wanted a receipt pre transaction. I had forgot by the end of the transaction and asked again. He yelled at me "WELL I ALREADY TOLD YOU YOU SHOULDNT HAVE TO ASK AGAIN!!!" but i shut him up real quick "SIR, i struggle with memory loss:)))"

I like this guy he’s just a little awkward and doesn’t shove a camera in anyone’s face. It’s missing from a lot of youtubers that do these challenges.

Thank you for not being the "Bother people at work for views" YTer. My wife has been a "victim" of one of those people and of course everyone in the comments called her a Karen.

This video was lovely. Really enjoying how kind and empathetic you were about how hard truck drivers work and wanting to support the anti human trafficking organization.

[@therealsamreid]

😌😌 Thanks for noticing!

[@cloud24patrol]

im a truck driver recruiter and I have to say i really loved this video! People don't realize what truckers do to keep everyones lifes moving forward. Without truckers you wouldnt have the food on your table. The clothing on your back. or even the home you live in. Thank you for highlighting truck driving sam keep up the good work ;)

[@MIWRISOT]

[@gabrielle225]

you’re quickly becoming my favorite creator on this app. you’re always so respectful and the content you create is clean and has a good rhythm to it. keep doing what you’re doing !!!!

[@therealsamreid]

Thank you so much for saying that!!

[@maasymoo]

If your spouse loves fudge, I highly recommend you come to Mackinac Island to make a video. There’s something like 20 places that sell fudge on the small 3.7 square mile island and it would be super funny to see you try and rate them all. We’d be happy to have you here in Michigan.

[@therealsamreid]

She's a native Michigander, but I've never been to Mackinac! I'd love to come check it out - that's a great idea!

[@kylemalachowski]

This reminds me of when I stayed 24+ hours in the middle of Wyoming. Wind forced our bus to stay off the freeway. We lived between a Baptist church that was generous enough to lend us their pews as beds and a Love’s gas station. The town we were in (Wamsutter) has not even 200 people in it. The whole experience was scary, frustrating, but honestly life altering. Really opened my eyes to a part of the US I had never seen - both the people, and the geographic location. Large gas stations/truck stops are a weird place, but truly are a very representative of the US as a whole.

[@lukeonken8834]

“Let’s Go to the Mall” from How I Met Your Mother was a very nice touch lol

[@therealsamreid]

Nice catch 😏

[@hawkatsea]

at 2:47 I love that the camera has a focus/light that makes Sam look like a blurry, flailing interloper on a romantic scene between a lightpost and a stopsign as they admire some gorgeous misty mountains.

[@therealpoody7485]

I use to be a truck driver. Out of all of the truck stops. Petro was my favorite. Don't forget the shower!

One of my favorite things about his contact is he has that Morgan Spurlock type of editing, the added comedy is perfectly timed and keeping your advertisement ads, funny keeps of your not skipping it beautiful

[@laurac-ss1cp]

Because people aren't sharing to their social media

[@YourGuyDan]

Was thinking the same thing and this type of videos are usually made by people with millions of subs lol. I think some of them are just too scientific (eg the waffle house and the taco bell challenge) so people are bored and they just wanna watch someone go crazy with the food, but for me it’s actually so impressive

[@DrewLytle]

What an absurd and awesome video 😂. I love how earnest you were in this video and how you went out of your way to not only be a nice and respectful human to staff and the space, but also called it out as a model for other creators of how you can do a video like this without being a total narcissist lol. Great job as always Sam!

[@hawkatsea]

love the hat! I hope Sam will do more "i low-key live here" content. I love truck stops, they're cheaper than a campground (if you don't have a rig), they're so much fun, and this one looks even better than most places I've stealth-camped. My only question: how long did it take for management to notice you lingering.

[@robinnicole4466]

It's normal for people to stay at truck stops for long periods of time they'll literally built for that exact reason

[@sofar6699]

I’m only about a minute or 2 in but I can say amazing editing and production so far I’m amazed you don’t have more subs. I also really enjoy how you seem to be looking for your own niche in the KZbin community!

When I found your account a few weeks ago, I expected you to have at least a million followers, and the fact that at this moment there’s only 15k viewers is criminal with the level of production this video has. Keep pushing man, you’re gonna blow up any time now!

[@Quitskle]

I cant wait for this guy to grow he is criminally underrated and deserves much more subs, remember me when your famous plz.

[@montrealsports29]

When I saw the title of the video, my 1st thought was that you somehow stayed inside a gas station washroom for 48 hours. That would have been quite the challenge and a lot more boring! You made the sponsorship part of the video just as interesting as the non-sponsored parts (and you made me hungry, too!). I guess those truckers you spoke to aren't Taco Bell fans or else they would have recognized you and would have jumped at the opportunity to give you a tour. Chiropractors are great for when your back is actually misaligned but if you don't have back problems, you probably won't feel any difference after going to one.

[@rachelreid1797]

[@humansomewhat2167]

Honestly, the two you approached might have thought you were a lot lizard. Or seeing if they kept any valuables, I've heard that break-ins are not too unheard of for truckers sadly. You'd probably get better response reaching out to someone on trucktok (I hate that I wrote out that word, but there's no better way to describe it). Cool video, I like these kinds of challenges. You're not hurting or inconveniencing anyone including yourself, but pushing the boundaries of personal comfort at the same time.
