Today, we’re taking a break from work (wow this summer has been just about work lol) and getting a little exploring in! As you might know, we’re taking on LA and decided to hit up a few iconic spots. We take you to the old Los Angeles zoo, Chinatown, and even our friends’ Colin and Samir’s studio.

Check out koreatown they have some of the best Asian food ever. I recommend trying kimchi stew and jajangmyeon 👌
You guys seem happier here in LA.
That look like a slice of fish on top of the sushi but it is not. So what is it?
Lol I love how Aubry noticed that one piece of sushi was missing 😂 “well how come this one’s shorter?”
I love your channel guys. I love the vids. But Christian please don’t start wearing a hair bun like your lady. Dude… What’s wrong with just being a man?
My boyfriend sun sneezes too. I’ve heard it’s a genetics thing.
Buy that merch, help my rich mercedes friends scam everyone.
I use my chopsticks to eat almost everything -especially noodles/zoodles and salads – basically because I think it’s so much more fun ❤️ Also loved your little hangry moment at the end with the sushi rolls – had me chuckling 😘
That sushi looked good:-) I take it the zoo is the old LA Zoo. Which year was the zoo abandoned and when was the new zoo build and taken into use?
Goofiest of the goofballs! I love it!
Tourists..
JUSSSS CHILLLINNN!
Food as art, with cool background music, mix in a healthy dose of playful humor w/pop-culture sound bites. This guy’s very much onboard for the ride!
Just what I always wanted to do , eat a vegan lunch then go walk in an abandon zoo WTF ???
LOL the chick pea story is hilarious!!
THE SUN MAKES ME SNEEZE TOO!!! FINALLY FOUND SOMEONE ELSE
Nice job on the sushi!
Yes I sneeze when I stare at the sun… my kids do too lol
Totally love the Life In A Day videos you guys put out
WHAT STRAW IS THAT?!?!?
Can’t wait for the empty zoo tour 2020 !!
Your content is so amazing. Keep it up!
There is nothing like a good sun sneeze <3
Always love exploring with you two. Thank you so much for another amazing video.
I think LA is scary lol and I was born there jajaja
You guys went the most difficult way to the zoo lol!
I sneeze at the sun too! Sometimes even lightbulbs.
Christian the driver-charger-sushi bully, lol. You guys crack me up
I love your energy! Another great video <3
Thanks for keeping it real. 😉 Thanks for sharing!
I have that same “compassion” for critters, plants or even chickpeas. 👍🏼😉
The photic sneeze reflex (also known as, Autosomal Compelling Helio-Ophthalmic Outburst (ACHOO) and colloquially sun sneezing) is a condition that causes sneezing in response to numerous stimuli, such as looking at bright lights or periocular (surrounding the eyeball) injection.
I have stainless steel straws from amazon.
one word "Rattle snacks"
Hi! We have been on our van since this past Monday and definitely it is a challenge. I admire you 😉
So now all of those baby chicks are in his tummy…clawing and screaming….HELP….HELP…let us out…please…we want our mommies…./cryyyy…..can you hear them???? Lol
you guys are so precious!
Thanks M&M. That was fun to watch and tag along on your day. Keep up the creative content.
Zoos will all be empty one day!.. Let’s work on it!
a little unsolicited advice from an old married person, if you want a long happy marriage, whenever you want something like chopsticks which cost under $5, go buy them and stop asking your hubby for his approval, assistance, or buy-in. that way you don’t have to hold any microaggressions toward him. same goes for your bae- if you are tired of van life and want to establish roots now or take one less insta pic, assert your wants and needs bc it matters. communication is everything but sometimes knowing when not to communicate and doing what it takes to make you happy is #1
Can i marry that mouth ??
What was the cost of the inside build from top to bottom solar inverter
This channel becomes more vacuous every post.
you guys are so hilarious and watching your videos uplifts me so much. totally makes my day, thank you for the genuine content!!! <3
My boyfriend does the “stare at the sun till you sneeze” thing
Keep making these types of videos ! Also why use a glass straw in a plastic cup? Love the idea of the straw though 🙂
Can you do a vlog without using the word LITERALLY .
Sushi is delicious and addictiing
wow–video starts with several episodes of a guy being a real jerk stopped the video. right. then.
Really enjoyed this, thank you x 🙏 x
