My favorite segment has always been the heavy trucks.  They can run it almost as fast as the smaller vehicles, all while carrying all the support equipment they need. 

The rock formations on stage 10 are friggen gorgeous.

I guess there's a thing on Tik Tok where you sing a sea shanty, or something?  I dunno, I don't follow that stuff, so I'm a little hazy on the details.

Anyway, what I DO know is that something epic came out of the whole thing:

No, it's right.

You're obviously not a TPB fan.

Am I the only person that doesn't 'get' TPB at all?

I love comedy, tried watching it, just didn't get it.  ???


Choosing a car based on reliability is like choosing a wife based solely because she is punctual. There is more to it than that...

Some people don't like it.  TPB is about as low brow as comedy can get...

You are not alone. Even watching that short video was painful and never cracked a smile even for a second.

I found the early episodes to be the best, like the first few seasons... recently I started watching it again on Netflix and the newer seasons are more painful to watch & no where near as funny as the first 7 seasons that ran from 2001 - 2007. The newer seasons (8 thru 11) on Netflix start in 2014 and run to 2018.

Scary avalanche

Scary yes but preventable by avoiding high risk areas.

I was taking to a neighbour who's Son is a Medical Dr. in Houston. He said he was living at the hospital he worked at because he could not drive home to his house due to the roads and lack of snow tires. His house has had the heat off due to the hydro issue and his water pipes and pool are frozen. :o
