00:00.180 --> 00:02.330
Today on Whoa! That's Weird, we're gonna ride
2
00:02.330 --> 00:04.740
the largest escalator system in the world.
3
00:04.740 --> 00:07.180
It's all outdoors and it goes straight up the mountain
4
00:07.180 --> 00:09.007
which Hong Kong is built on.
5
00:09.007 --> 00:10.215
♪ Whoa ♪
6
00:10.215 --> 00:12.490
♪ Whoa, that's weird ♪
7
00:12.490 --> 00:15.660
Hong Kong is built on this just, giant mountain
8
00:17.370 --> 00:19.060
and right now, we're at the bottom of it.
9
00:19.060 --> 00:20.520
We just got off the ferry.
10
00:20.520 --> 00:22.070
We're at the bottom of it, see?
11
00:25.350 --> 00:28.510
But, a lot of people live towards the top of the hill
12
00:28.510 --> 00:31.240
and then they need to commute down to the bottom for work,
13
00:31.240 --> 00:34.500
so they have this giant escalator complex
14
00:34.500 --> 00:36.070
which people use to commute to work.
15
00:36.070 --> 00:37.610
Like, they get outta their house and they just hop
16
00:37.610 --> 00:40.490
on like, an escalator and take it down the mountain,
17
00:40.490 --> 00:42.360
eventually get to where they work,
18
00:42.360 --> 00:46.470
and then after 10 a.m., it starts goin' up,
19
00:46.470 --> 00:49.600
and then they can take it back home, y'know, after work.
20
00:49.600 --> 00:51.000
So right now, it's going up.
21
00:54.320 --> 00:55.752
We still got a ways to go, though.
22
00:55.752 --> 00:59.085
(fun brass-heavy music)
23
01:21.997 --> 01:23.247
Alright, folks.
24
01:24.410 --> 01:25.573
We're about to hop on.
25
01:26.880 --> 01:28.423
Things're gettin' a little wild.
26
01:31.936 --> 01:33.694
Oh my god, we're doin' it!
27
01:33.694 --> 01:35.121
We're doin' it!
28
01:35.121 --> 01:38.454
(fun brass-heavy music)
29
01:43.650 --> 01:45.270
Right now, it's more of, like, a moving sidewalk
30
01:45.270 --> 01:47.750
than an escalator, but, y'know, same thing.
31
01:47.750 --> 01:49.956
Once it gets steeper, it turns into an escalator.
32
01:49.956 --> 01:53.289
(fun brass-heavy music)
33
02:36.260 --> 02:38.520
And, folks, we are still goin' up.
34
02:38.520 --> 02:40.510
But I think they're gonna makes us use stairs for a second,
35
02:40.510 --> 02:42.940
which is kinda bullshit.
36
02:42.940 --> 02:44.490
I thought the whole thing was an escalator.
37
02:44.490 --> 02:47.760
Did not sign up for this.
38
02:47.760 --> 02:49.420
Oh god, I'm sweating, oh no, there's the escalator.
39
02:49.420 --> 02:50.970
I got on the fuckin' wrong way.
40
02:51.860 --> 02:52.910
Hey, what's up, dude?
41
02:57.260 --> 02:59.930
Okay, somehow I got off the escalators for a second.
42
02:59.930 --> 03:01.664
I'm gonna try to not do that again.
43
03:01.664 --> 03:04.997
(fun brass-heavy music)
44
04:07.610 --> 04:08.713
This might be the top.
45
04:10.160 --> 04:10.993
Oh my god.
46
04:12.500 --> 04:13.700
I think we did it, boys!
47
04:18.470 --> 04:19.303
Whoo!
48
04:20.660 --> 04:22.100
Oh God!
49
04:22.100 --> 04:23.810
That sun's bright!
50
04:23.810 --> 04:25.070
Excuse me.
51
04:25.070 --> 04:26.170
Yes?
Is that the end
52
04:26.170 --> 04:27.426
of the escalators?
53
04:27.426 --> 04:28.259
I think so.
54
04:28.259 --> 04:30.270
We made it to mid-levels.
55
04:30.270 --> 04:31.650
Whoo!
56
04:31.650 --> 04:33.830
That was a journey and a half.
57
04:33.830 --> 04:35.240
You know you're in really great shape
58
04:35.240 --> 04:37.560
when you are drenched in sweat
59
04:37.560 --> 04:39.683
after riding an escalator for 15 minutes.
60
04:40.746 --> 04:41.579
Oh God.
61
04:43.550 --> 04:46.610
So I thought, I already made it this far on the escalators,
62
04:46.610 --> 04:48.520
might as well just keep walking.
63
04:48.520 --> 04:49.370
See how high we can get.
64
04:49.370 --> 04:51.160
Maybe we make it to the peak.
65
04:51.160 --> 04:54.300
I think, like, 60% of Hong Kong is rainforest.
66
04:54.300 --> 04:56.840
So sometimes, you just see, like, monkeys
67
04:56.840 --> 04:59.133
just up in these trees and shit.
68
05:01.210 --> 05:02.160
Whoa, that's weird.
69
05:03.950 --> 05:05.350
Now I wanna do a little jog.
70
05:06.610 --> 05:07.863
Sweat out the toxins.
71
05:15.500 --> 05:17.383
I'm never smoking any cigarette again.
72
05:21.450 --> 05:22.523
Pretty city, though.
73
05:24.510 --> 05:25.343
Oh God.
74
05:26.370 --> 05:27.203
Hug the block.
75
05:29.610 --> 05:30.644
Hey guys, how's it goin'?
76
05:30.644 --> 05:31.727
Hi.
Hello.
77
05:34.710 --> 05:38.253
I feel like fuckin' Loud Sean at zero, zero.
78
05:41.420 --> 05:44.130
Two Dutch girls saw me having a minor heart attack
79
05:44.130 --> 05:45.420
on the side of the path
80
05:45.420 --> 05:47.823
and they just donated me a free water.
81
05:51.460 --> 05:53.623
Thank God for the Dutch.
82
05:56.100 --> 05:57.633
There's a light at the end of the tunnel.
83
06:02.761 --> 06:07.344
There's definitely some light at the end of the tunnel.
84
06:08.890 --> 06:09.723
Oh my god.
85
06:12.400 --> 06:13.283
It's beautiful!
86
06:18.814 --> 06:19.647
Oh my god.
87
06:20.636 --> 06:21.469
Folks.
88
06:23.376 --> 06:24.575
Folks, I did it!
89
06:24.575 --> 06:27.908
(fun brass-heavy music)
90
06:37.827 --> 06:39.580
You know what's the only thing that can make
91
06:39.580 --> 06:41.730
this successful summit a little bit better?
92
06:42.900 --> 06:45.626
Miss, could I get three beers and a Fanta?
