Vacationing at the World’s Largest Truck Stop

[@mintmelville2687]

Lucas is producing the most organic American culture in his videos and I am absolutely here for this content.

[@Amberlyn_stan]

Are you? Are you just..

[@Nymphadora45uvyu]

Totally agree!!!

[@michaelad1313]

Yes! This. The America we want to see

[@jamsquan9415]

[@kr9991]

The real Ms. Americana

[@slashbat2375]

I'm starting to think Lucas went to this truck stop to have a whirlwind romance with a trucker

[@NotI-w5q]

Or that he’s shading a trucker he knows who had an affair lol

[@slashbat2375]

​@@NotI-w5qlol I think it just stems from the lot lizard thing, not just one specific person. Though he has planted the idea in my head for a trucker romance novel

[@i95Florida]

I was the guy that I awkwardly said that I recognized you as you went upstairs at Iowa 80. Glad you enjoyed the stop. Keep the content flowing!

[@Zimadragqueen]

13:15 Lucas totally almost said grindrrrrrr instead of Craigslist lmaoo

[@mayanovak2497]

🤣🤣🤣🤣"gg...craigslist"

[@shoyuramenoff]

I mean, that's how they did back then.

[@ThomasThomas-xi1ib]

[@rebeccataylor_888]

As someone from Iowa, thanks for the representation! Growing up I was told to never go here or I’d get trafficked ❤

[@MagisterialVoyager]

💀💀💀

[@seeseembo]

It is technically a trafficking hub but living within 10 minutes of it for 18 years and regularly going there I never heard of anybody like Being Trafficked there as in like being kidnapped and swept up into a trafficking ring, I think it's more a situation of there being more people who are already being trafficked being brought there than other places because it's on a major interstate and is a place many people traveling for any variety of reasons stop so it's an inconspicuous place to stop for food/bathroom/showers where the dynamic won't be noticed as easily since it's pretty busy, or it could be used as meeting place to exchange people. Still absolutely horrific! Just trying to explain that it's a hub for trafficking that's already in progress, rather than being somewhere that you'll get nabbed and put into a trafficking situation.

[@TimothiusRycard]

I thought that was Omaha where the rich people traffick amputees from Iowa

[@quinnzykir]

I miss going to cabelas and the waterpark in Waterloo

[@jerdua8726]

What in the. My mom and I used to do midnight runs for ice cream here. I always stop here when I’m passing by. It’s safe from my experiences

There ARE trucker romance novels and I think I speak for everyone when I say we need live readings NOW, Lucas.

[@bellsi3836]

Any recommendations?

Lucas and Jacob y’all are literally angels who bring joy and laughter to the world and I can’t thank you enough for that

[@marissacauley4463]

My dad had his own business for 30 years but had to let it go last year and he became a trucker. He is the happiest he’s ever been. I think he loves being away from my mom for 2 weeks at a time lol but their marriage is thriving now so slay 💅🏼

[@yl861]

That's pretty healthy, especially for long-time marriages, those who've been living together for decades, spend some time apart makes them realize how much they appreciate each other

[@beepboop7041]

Tell your dad I say thank you for his service ❤ glad everything is well!

[@Yeahthatshowifeel]

My uncle became a trucker and has been wanting to divorce my aunt for a couple of years now and she won’t divorce him! He even has another woman on the side and we suspect he might even have kids with her!

[@UpstateGamecock]

@@Yeahthatshowifeel heck yeah, spill the tea ☕️🐸

[@OversharingFly]

OH HES SLANGING ON THE SIDE

[@slpy.flower]

Lucas is onto something, trucker love would be such a good book genre!! “He parked his truck next to me…it made me feel some type of way.” said the Trucker 😭

[@Sdeezy18]

The fact y’all showered there ☠️😭😭 iconic kings!!

[@mayanovak2497]

Lucas I LOVE you doing these more Jacobesque type videos exploring places. I loveeee you boisss

[@jethom4576]

LUCAS!!!!! You should come stay at The Murphy Inn in St Clair,MI. It’s a super old bed and breakfast that is claimed to be haunted. There’s a restaurant on the main level where you can do a burger challenge. The Murphy Inn is in a super cute area of Michigan near the St Clair River. I must know if it’s haunted!!!! Your presence there would be a blessing 💅💅💅✨

[@Chompy27]

My dad is a semi truck driver thank you for showing his culture 🙏🏻

[@tw9991]

The Bible recap being thicker than most standard bibles is CRAZY😭😂😂😂

[@darksniperdog]

Somebody get lucas on the smoshcast ...

[@MoaLightStick]

Oh my god, he would fit in sooooo great plus he would bring such a new type of energy & vibe

[@haileycollins6147]

Oh my God oh my God oh my God yes please idk how to @ people on KZbin but fr I KNOW the demographics cross over, Lucas and Jacob and smosh are literally the soundtrack to my life they both make me laugh so much. And the boys are so good at improvising and bouncing funny stuff off each other especially in the Bro Show I think they would have such fun interactions with Angela and Tommy and Shayne and Sperncer and Courtney and also I think they would be great in Try Not To Laugh podcast, and in Smosh Games and like the humor is so similar BUT ALSO sooooo specifically, the would do so good on Artists on Artists on Artists on Artists That's literally what they do on the Brow Show and with their editing and sarcasm I'm in love with this idea and I'm so excited and happy that others are thinking the same thing. I mentioned Lucas and Jacob in the Smosh comments on Insta and KZbin lol idk how to tag anyone on tKZbin tho :(

[@daydaytheplantgay]

PLEASE OMG ALSO ON A TNTL he would eat

[@slpy.flower]

YESSSS!!

[@teamlining7685]

They would actually love him and I feel like he’d love it too

[@jackiesyhanath2083]

The Luna jokes?!?!?! Im crying 😭😭😭

I’m think about Luna too much for someone who never met her

[@olivia.angel_x]

I'VE BEEN TO THE WORLD'S LARGEST TRUCKSTOP THREE TIMES AND I NEVER HAD THE COURAGE TO GO UPSTAIRS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!!

[@laurenw6120]

I was hoping and praying there would be a new Chan Chan video today. I’m home with a bad back. Thanks for giving me some laughs!

[@smilysprid]

Lucass I need you to post more ive fallen into a pit of seasonal depression. Thank you for your service

[@SJ80sCCM]

Yes!!!!! Me too.

[@Pilarskiapril67]

"know your rights" 😂 has me dead

[@thomasking101]

If I was a trucker, the last thing I'd wanna watch is a movie about vehicles lol

[@LizTheLizardLord]

Woah I live like 20 minutes away from this place! I used to love going and climbing on the trucks at the museum when I was a kid

[@PliskinYT]

5:19 they most likely use DVDs because a lot of the US you probably can't get cell service to stream netflix for example when they're off duty at another stop, truckers feel free to correct me.

[@mrchomperz]

And sometimes Netflix pulls that 'you aren't at home' BS or something. 😭

[@Angry_Toe]

A lizard woman!!!!!!! I’m dying. 12:49 and the emphasis you put on LOT in LOT lizard 🦎 😂

[@2.06am]

6:48 Most schedules are 4 weeks on 4 days off. So each week you work you get one day off ✨

[@Samuel-xs2yv]

That is horrendous. Wth. They owe truckers many more days off

[@mr_spookypants]

That’s so sad 😢

[@mayanovak2497]

10:47 actually so sad, RIP Luna 😭😭😭

[@pissingbridge]

6:40 as the child of a former trucker theres a few different options, when i was really young my dad would be gone for most of the week and get home Thursday/Friday and spend the weekend with us before going out again on Monday, later he moved to a more local trucking company and there he would leave at around 4 or 5 am every morning and get home anywhere from 2 pm to 7 pm (it would depend on how many loads he was assigned and how long it would take to travel), ooccasionally he'd have a load that would take two days but it wasnt often, he worked Mon-Thurs at that company as well

[@krystalguzman7354]

I wasn't expecting Jacob's dead dog comment, lol. It was funny even though it shouldn't be just cause of how innocent Jacob seems lol

[@Nymphadora45uvyu]

I am living for your content and seeing you and Jacob brighten my day! I love how much you are embracing your regional treasures!!! I feel like I get to road trip with you guys :). Would be so much fun to see more while you guys are driving, too (safely, of course!)

The amount of dark humor in this video is insane!!!

[@bradi1312]

Omg this is where my divorced parents would meet to trade us off. Memories 🫶🏻🫶🏻

[@linds]

The roads aren't nearly as busy at night, so a lot of truckers will sleep during the day and drive all night instead! They can cover a lot more ground in the early morning hours!

[@pinkdarkman]

I recently did a road trip across the country vertically to move from Texas to Oregon and some days I did like 13 hours straight just driving the empty interstate highways, listening to podcasts and KZbin videos. It made me think I could be a trucker. Then I realized I'm a homebody and I was driving a little sedan not a gigantic semi truck so I probably don't have it in me to be a trucker lol. Being on the road for days at a time is nice when it's once. It's probably way more brutal when you're doing it every week.

[@SJ80sCCM]

He’s a comedic genius! He needs his own comedy hour to stream!

[@SJ80sCCM]

Lucas talking about trucker dad's when my brothers dad was one 😂😂😂😂 Also Lucas has NEVER seen Grey's Anatomy because if he had he'd know better then to question the health care workers being the most likely to cheat 😂😂😂

[@katelyncorn8804]

I feel like truckers sleep during peak traffic hours so they can cruise in peace ✌️

[@jordanmarie24]

Awww, I have passed through here so many times, it's a shame to ever miss it! Like a theme park lol. Least they have lotsss of food options :) Hope you guys had a great time and made it home safely! Much love!

[@jpgranat]

5:18 No they are doing it because its easier to pop in a DVD at night in the truck than stream.

You should go to the Ingalls Homestead in De Smet South Dakota which is the real homestead of Laura Ingalls from the Little House on the Prairie books. You can see what it’s like to live in a house with a dirt floor and live the Pioneer life in the 1800s (you can also stay at the Prairie Manor Inn and also tour the Laura Ingalls Wilder historic homes if you want)

You could go to: World’s Largest Frying Pan in Brandon, IA- boring, but you can pair it with other things such as: World’s Largest Wooden Nickel in Iowa City, IA Spooky vibe: Black Angel in Iowa City, IA Nature/history vibe: Fossil Gorge, Iowa City, IA Other: Coralville Mall (Coralville, IA) Big Grove Brewery (Iowa City, Solon, or Cedar Rapids, IA) Field Day Brewery (North Liberty, IA) These are just a few ideas Feel free to let me know if you ever come by 😂
