1
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:18,020
Look, more rain
2
00:00:18,020 --> 00:00:18,920
alright
3
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,360
Oh yeah, it's been a great summer here.
4
00:00:23,100 --> 00:00:25,520
I'm Hello Rodney, thanks for clickin' on my video.
5
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:27,400
I just got outta bed a little while ago and
6
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:34,020
I was thinkin' about these guys, the Bikes of Wrath.
7
00:00:34,940 --> 00:00:36,580
These guys are doin' a documentary
8
00:00:38,180 --> 00:00:39,540
of their bicycle trip,
9
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:45,600
retracing the path of the Grapes of Wrath
10
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:47,560
from Oklahoma to Bakersfield, California.
11
00:00:47,780 --> 00:00:49,500
It coulda been some guys sittin' around,
12
00:00:49,500 --> 00:00:51,300
you know, havin' a few beers and,
13
00:00:51,300 --> 00:00:54,880
"Oh yeah, let's get our bikes and retrace that man,
14
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:56,440
that'd be the greatest thing"
15
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,840
Ya know that stuff that guys always talk about
16
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:00,020
that never happens.
17
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,920
Something did happen, there was an idea somewhere.
18
00:01:04,900 --> 00:01:08,900
And from that little seed, it actually happened
19
00:01:08,900 --> 00:01:10,020
and they actually pulled it off
20
00:01:10,020 --> 00:01:13,460
They actually got everything together that they needed
21
00:01:14,820 --> 00:01:16,320
flew over here
22
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:18,000
got to Oklahoma,
23
00:01:18,620 --> 00:01:20,480
got on their bikes and started pedaling.
24
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,220
Charlie: Hey Hey
25
00:02:13,500 --> 00:02:15,880
I guess ultimately, we have to cycle from
26
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,860
from Sallisaw, Oklahoma to Bakersfield, California.
27
00:02:18,860 --> 00:02:20,480
We've got 32 days to do it.
28
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:21,720
Where are we here?
29
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:23,700
We've got three hundred and sixty something dollars
30
00:02:23,700 --> 00:02:25,120
starting off in the kitty.
31
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:26,920
And any other money we spend has
32
00:02:26,920 --> 00:02:28,880
to be earned from our musical performances
33
00:02:29,100 --> 00:02:33,760
That's the crux of it. We have 32 days to cycle 2600 K's.
34
00:02:34,100 --> 00:02:35,554
I read the Grapes of Wrath
35
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,520
probably about five years ago now
36
00:02:37,620 --> 00:02:40,280
and it's my favorite book of all time
37
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,380
because although it's a story
38
00:02:42,380 --> 00:02:44,580
that is quite depressing at times
39
00:02:44,580 --> 00:02:47,160
and quite heartbreaking, it's ultimately one
40
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,580
of hope and faith in humanity,
41
00:02:50,580 --> 00:02:52,440
and I think Steinbeck is able
42
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,040
to shine a beacon of hope
43
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,260
that we can do better as a society.
44
00:02:57,260 --> 00:02:59,160
Leon: And we thought,
45
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,240
let's retrace the route that
46
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:02,960
that family took in his book
47
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,060
and try and find out more about
48
00:03:05,060 --> 00:03:06,640
the Grapes of Wrath and the Dust Bowl.
49
00:03:06,640 --> 00:03:08,400
Charlie: The book is really about inequality,
50
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,540
about humanity and us being incapable
51
00:03:11,540 --> 00:03:14,100
of looking after poor people, of having,
52
00:03:14,100 --> 00:03:15,760
I guess equality in society.
53
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:17,640
Cam: I mean, that's a jump-off point for me,
54
00:03:17,640 --> 00:03:19,340
relating it back to the book,
55
00:03:19,340 --> 00:03:21,560
but it's also about getting to meet people
56
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,560
as you pass through and to just sort of
57
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,140
take you into their world
58
00:03:25,140 --> 00:03:26,540
and show you a slice of their life.
59
00:03:26,540 --> 00:03:28,920
That's sort of something that I'm really fascinated with.
60
00:03:29,340 --> 00:03:31,720
- Oh my God, we're doing it.
61
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:33,460
- Old Route 66.
62
00:03:33,460 --> 00:03:35,060
- I find America fascinating.
63
00:03:35,060 --> 00:03:38,260
It's such an example of culture and music
64
00:03:39,220 --> 00:03:42,280
But there's still these fundamental things in the country
65
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,560
that weren't being talked about and dealt with, you know.
66
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,680
During the Great Depression, and what are people,
67
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:50,060
what do they think of these issues,
68
00:03:50,060 --> 00:03:50,960
do they think they're non-existent?
69
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:52,580
Do they think those things have been sorted out?
70
00:03:52,900 --> 00:03:53,920
I don't know.
71
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,140
That's Sallisaw, and that's Bakersfield there.
72
00:03:57,140 --> 00:03:58,640
- I think we should mark them.
73
00:03:58,640 --> 00:03:59,720
- Doing it on a bike,
74
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,680
for some reason it just seemed like the right way to do it.
75
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,120
- Almost in a car, you're too fast.
76
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,080
On a bike, you notice the landscape changes.
77
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:08,460
- It would be a totally different trip
78
00:04:08,460 --> 00:04:09,460
if we were in a vehicle.
79
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:11,620
- We've pretended like we're got an itinerary
80
00:04:11,620 --> 00:04:14,680
and we've got it nicely mapped out in our heads,
81
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,700
but we've got no real idea.
82
00:04:17,700 --> 00:04:19,200
- A lady that we met today said,
83
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,200
her number one piece of advice,
84
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,260
use a towel that you could wet and put it under the helmet.
85
00:04:24,420 --> 00:04:26,280
To wrap around the head, yes.
- Really?
86
00:04:26,280 --> 00:04:27,980
Had she done much riding?
- No, she hadn't.
87
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:32,660
- The most I've ever ridden on bike was I think, 20 K.
88
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:34,520
Looks good
89
00:04:36,300 --> 00:04:38,160
Holy shit you look foolish.
90
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,260
- I was readin' the book at the time
91
00:04:40,260 --> 00:04:41,680
that Charlie told me about this trip,
92
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:45,160
and it just sounded like a great way to see America,
93
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:46,440
and take a lot of photos.
94
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:49,600
Good?
95
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:50,480
- Yeah I think it's good.
96
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:52,500
- Leon and Charlie's love for the book is
97
00:04:52,500 --> 00:04:54,380
what sparked this whole thing off.
98
00:04:54,780 --> 00:04:57,140
But it's one element of many
99
00:04:57,140 --> 00:04:59,960
that make this trip it's own unique beast.
100
00:05:00,340 --> 00:05:02,180
- Yeah, I guess the plan kinda evolved,
101
00:05:02,180 --> 00:05:03,520
and originally, it was just a bike ride,
102
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,540
and now we're making a documentary and we're busking,
103
00:05:06,540 --> 00:05:08,140
but I think ultimately,
104
00:05:08,140 --> 00:05:11,360
we wanna ride through these small towns in America
105
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,920
to really discover if all of those themes
106
00:05:13,940 --> 00:05:16,380
that Steinbeck wrote about, still exist.
107
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,780
Final question: if you could sum up what you think this
108
00:05:21,780 --> 00:05:24,860
trip is going to be in one word, what would that word be?
109
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,500
- To me, it will be humbling, I think.
110
00:05:40,660 --> 00:05:42,580
I think it'll be a humbling experience.
111
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:44,760
- It's nice when you guys tell me what to say.
112
00:05:46,020 --> 00:05:47,180
I really like that.
113
00:05:47,180 --> 00:05:48,600
- Can it be hyphenated?
114
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:55,980
- If I had to pick one, it would be humongous.
115
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,820
- In the least clichéd way possible,
116
00:05:58,820 --> 00:06:01,260
this is a life-changing trip.
117
00:06:01,620 --> 00:06:04,020
- I'm gonna say chaotic, I think chaotic.
118
00:06:14,100 --> 00:06:15,620
- It's gonna be a life-changing trip.
119
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,720
- And then the dis-possessed were drawn West,
120
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,900
from Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico,
121
00:06:25,900 --> 00:06:29,840
from Nevada and Arkansas, families, tribes, dusted out,
122
00:06:29,840 --> 00:06:33,520
tractored out, carloads, caravans, homeless and hungry,
123
00:06:33,540 --> 00:06:35,860
20 thousand, and 50 thousand,
124
00:06:35,860 --> 00:06:38,560
and 100 thousand, and 200 thousand.
125
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,140
They streamed over the mountains, hungry and restless.
126
00:06:41,140 --> 00:06:43,860
Restless as ants, scurrying to find work to do.
127
00:06:44,500 --> 00:06:48,220
To lift, to push, to pull, to pick, to cut.
128
00:06:48,220 --> 00:06:50,780
Anything, any burden to bear for food,
129
00:06:50,780 --> 00:06:53,400
the kids are hungry, we've got no place to live,
130
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,980
like ants scurrying for work, for food,
131
00:06:55,980 --> 00:06:57,680
and most of all, for land.
132
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,560
If this trailer survives three thousand K's.
133
00:07:21,060 --> 00:07:23,900
It's not loaded at the moment, so it feels okay, but,
134
00:07:23,900 --> 00:07:27,500
it just doesn't look like it's built to
135
00:07:27,500 --> 00:07:30,120
to go halfway across America.
136
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:33,120
Okay there's grandma and grandpa.
137
00:07:33,700 --> 00:07:35,260
- Age down, age down.
138
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,920
- Pa, Ma, Noah, Tom
139
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:41,860
- Since re-reading the book, we have discovered
140
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,240
that the Joad family actually leaves Sallisaw
141
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,220
- And Connie, so that's 12 people.
142
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,820
- With 155 US dollars.
143
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,660
- In the book here, they had 155 when they left,
144
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:56,120
but they only spent 115 getting to California.
145
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,720
- And they slaughter and salt down two pigs.
146
00:07:59,060 --> 00:08:02,040
- But we can start with a pig's worth of--
147
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:02,880
- Two pigs
148
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,580
- Two pigs worth of groceries
149
00:08:05,700 --> 00:08:08,540
- Well hang on, they had two pigs to feed twelve mouths.
150
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:09,740
- Yeah, one pig.
151
00:08:09,860 --> 00:08:11,240
- That essentially means
152
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,540
that once we roll out of Sallisaw, there's one kitty.
153
00:08:14,540 --> 00:08:17,500
Around, I'd say three or four hundred US dollars.
154
00:08:17,780 --> 00:08:19,300
- I think that's pretty...
155
00:08:19,300 --> 00:08:21,180
- That's a pretty good plan.
156
00:08:21,700 --> 00:08:23,620
- So, that's what we're gonna start with.
157
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,800
We have as much money as the Joad family began with
158
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:31,140
Inflated to today. That's our kitty and then, trying to
159
00:08:31,140 --> 00:08:34,860
sing for our supper, rolling into a small town each night
160
00:08:34,860 --> 00:08:37,140
and actually getting out the instruments
161
00:08:37,140 --> 00:08:38,880
and tryin' to survive.
162
00:08:40,900 --> 00:08:42,680
- Oh it's just out of tune.
163
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:49,920
- Why are y'all going to Sallisaw?
164
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,240
- The bike ride we're doing is about
165
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:53,620
the book, The Grapes of Wrath.
166
00:08:53,620 --> 00:08:56,000
And that's where they were from, around that area.
167
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,280
- Yeah, I've lived the story my entire life,
168
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:02,000
I've been here for 58 years, I know The Grapes of Wrath.
169
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:03,480
- Do you like the book?
170
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,180
- The biggest problem I have is
171
00:09:05,180 --> 00:09:08,380
that it gave Oklahoma kind of a black eye
172
00:09:08,380 --> 00:09:09,800
for many years after that.
173
00:09:10,100 --> 00:09:12,600
The book actually was written about
174
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,400
what was goin' on in Oklahoma at that time,
175
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,160
but in the 30s and the Dust bowl
176
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,980
and all that sort of stuff, it was really tough here.
177
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:37,560
- I'm asking, as an Australian,
178
00:09:37,560 --> 00:09:41,120
about the Dust Bowl, how would you explain it?
179
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:42,280
- The gospel?
180
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:43,460
- The Dust Bowl, sorry.
181
00:09:43,460 --> 00:09:44,560
- Oh, the Dust Bowl!
182
00:09:44,560 --> 00:09:46,380
- Sorry, my accent, it's my accent.
183
00:09:46,380 --> 00:09:50,320
- Hell, Hell came to Oklahoma and Texas.
184
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,080
- We over-farmed, we didn't take care of the land.
185
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:54,940
- They cut out a lot of the trees and stuff
186
00:09:54,940 --> 00:09:57,580
and so there was a lot of open land,
187
00:09:57,580 --> 00:09:59,540
and they thought that was good.
188
00:09:59,540 --> 00:10:01,380
- When you didn't have anything to break
189
00:10:01,380 --> 00:10:03,280
or irrigation like we have today,
190
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,820
then your farm actually moved away from you.
191
00:10:05,820 --> 00:10:09,060
- And then along with no rain and high wind,
192
00:10:09,060 --> 00:10:11,360
the dust was in the air and in the sky,
193
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,880
and it would almost block out the sun.
194
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:15,700
- You end up with it in your house,
195
00:10:15,700 --> 00:10:18,380
in your mouth and throat and nose and eyes,
196
00:10:18,380 --> 00:10:21,520
and covered in it, and there's no gettin' away from it,
197
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:23,020
'cause it's everywhere you go.
198
00:10:23,020 --> 00:10:25,300
- There was no way to make a living on that land.
199
00:10:25,300 --> 00:10:28,120
- People had to find a way to survive
200
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:29,880
and take care of their families.
201
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,020
- Farmers, had to, they had to vacate.
202
00:10:32,020 --> 00:10:35,200
- The bank foreclosures forced 'em to move out.
203
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,160
- They could barely scrape sustenance together.
204
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,520
They had to move or starve.
205
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:42,240
- They loaded up in droves
206
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:43,520
and went to California,
207
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,300
just like the Joad family did in the book.
208
00:10:45,300 --> 00:10:47,260
- They went out West, lookin' for,
209
00:10:47,260 --> 00:10:51,240
ended up bein' laborers picking wherever they could get.
210
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,940
- They wanted pickers for their vegetables and stuff,
211
00:10:53,940 --> 00:10:56,500
so they had some work if they could get there.
212
00:10:56,500 --> 00:10:58,320
- So they made the trip.
213
00:10:58,320 --> 00:10:59,620
- They didn't have anything hardly,
214
00:10:59,620 --> 00:11:00,680
to get there on.
215
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:02,640
- Those folks had a struggle.
216
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:05,660
- The vehicles were bad, the roads were not good,
217
00:11:05,660 --> 00:11:09,560
tires were terrible, it was hot.
218
00:11:09,560 --> 00:11:13,280
- It was leaving what they thought was Heaven,
219
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:14,680
that turned into Hell.
220
00:11:14,680 --> 00:11:16,700
- The most important thing to me though is
221
00:11:16,700 --> 00:11:18,240
that in Oklahoma, many
222
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:19,980
of them did go find a better way,
223
00:11:19,980 --> 00:11:25,420
but many of them stayed, they were very strong individuals.
224
00:11:25,420 --> 00:11:27,240
Whether they left or whether they stayed,
225
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:28,520
it took a lot of strength.
226
00:11:37,500 --> 00:11:38,340
- What'd they get?
227
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:40,240
God knows the land ain't no good.
228
00:11:40,980 --> 00:11:43,220
Nobody been able to make a crop for years.
229
00:11:43,580 --> 00:11:45,340
Them sons of bitches at their desk,
230
00:11:45,340 --> 00:11:48,100
they just chop folks in two for their margin of profit.
231
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,080
They just cut 'em in two, places where folks live,
232
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,640
is them folks. They ain't whole, out 'n lonely,
233
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:56,620
on the road in a piled up car.
234
00:11:56,620 --> 00:12:00,100
They ain't alive no more, them sons of bitches killed 'em.
235
00:12:14,560 --> 00:12:17,600
- We're really excited to meet some people in Sallisaw,
236
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:21,080
where the Joad family lived, before we take off tomorrow.
237
00:12:24,460 --> 00:12:28,700
- My mama, she could tell you whether it's accurate or not.
238
00:12:28,700 --> 00:12:29,820
- She was here during the depression?
239
00:12:29,820 --> 00:12:32,680
- She was here, oh yes, she's 88 year old.
240
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:34,540
- She didn't go West?
241
00:12:34,540 --> 00:12:38,140
- They went to California for a while, her and my daddy.
242
00:12:38,140 --> 00:12:39,920
They did everything out there.
243
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,060
Picked apples, picked grapes,
- And then they came back.
244
00:12:42,060 --> 00:12:43,460
- And then they come back.
245
00:12:43,460 --> 00:12:44,640
- Because they love Oklahoma?
246
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:45,500
- Oh, you betcha.
247
00:12:45,500 --> 00:12:47,780
- How would you describe Oklahoma?
248
00:12:47,780 --> 00:12:49,260
- The people are good people.
249
00:12:49,260 --> 00:12:51,040
- What makes them good people?
250
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:54,140
- They're home-grown, that's the main thing.
251
00:12:54,140 --> 00:12:56,020
You're gonna have some that are bad,
252
00:12:56,020 --> 00:12:59,320
but all around, I'd say 90%
253
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,460
of people are just good honest people.
254
00:13:02,300 --> 00:13:05,100
Looks like I've got a customer guys, so y'all take care.
255
00:13:07,340 --> 00:13:08,340
- Thanks very much.
256
00:13:08,340 --> 00:13:09,560
- Thank you and y'all have a good trip.
257
00:13:09,560 --> 00:13:10,320
- See you later.
258
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:10,980
- Alrighty.
259
00:13:12,560 --> 00:13:14,920
- Lord, we just thank you for these young men, Lord,
260
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,900
that are not afraid of adventure, Lord.
261
00:13:17,900 --> 00:13:20,640
I was young once too, Lord.
262
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:22,300
God, I just ask you to bless them, Lord,
263
00:13:22,300 --> 00:13:27,320
that the sun would not make them melt during the day, Lord.
264
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,080
That they would make it all the way to Bakersfield, Lord.
265
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:30,960
In Jesus name we pray.
266
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:33,300
- Amen.
267
00:13:35,180 --> 00:13:36,400
- Thank you
- You bet
268
00:13:36,900 --> 00:13:37,660
See y'all
- See you later.
269
00:13:39,620 --> 00:13:41,980
- It's very interesting the way it is.
270
00:13:41,980 --> 00:13:43,880
Everybody claims to be very religious,
271
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:45,580
but what does that mean?
272
00:13:45,580 --> 00:13:48,300
- What is the main denomination?
273
00:13:48,300 --> 00:13:49,460
- In Sallisaw?
274
00:13:49,460 --> 00:13:49,960
- Yeah.
275
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:51,180
Southern Baptist.
276
00:13:51,180 --> 00:13:52,480
- Southern Baptist, okay.
277
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,880
- Mm hmm, yeah, very Southern baptist.
278
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:57,280
- Way Southern.
279
00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:00,200
- Would you say it's a poor town?
280
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,580
- Absolutely, this is a welfare county,
281
00:14:02,580 --> 00:14:04,720
but it's just like any other part of America.
282
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:08,080
There's a disproportionate amount of funds.
283
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:11,100
The poor are very poor, there's not much of a middle class,
284
00:14:11,100 --> 00:14:13,820
and there's the 1% who has most of the money,
285
00:14:13,820 --> 00:14:16,740
and control most of the economy.
286
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:22,420
- Do you think the Republicans will get into the--
287
00:14:22,420 --> 00:14:24,020
- No, no.
288
00:14:24,020 --> 00:14:25,380
- I reckon Hillary will win.
289
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:28,560
- Who's the Democrat?
290
00:14:30,500 --> 00:14:31,900
- Hillary Clinton.
291
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:34,220
- Maybe Bernie Sanders.
292
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:36,020
Hillary will win for sure.
293
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,960
- If he needs a million acres to make him feel rich,
294
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:43,440
seems to me, he needs it
295
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:45,920
'cause he feels awful poor inside himself.
296
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:48,480
And if he's poor in himself,
297
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,380
there ain't no million acres gonna make him feel rich.
298
00:14:51,660 --> 00:14:53,400
And maybe he's disappointed
299
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,140
that nothin' he can do is gonna make him feel rich.
300
00:15:08,660 --> 00:15:10,440
- All that gear there needs to be divvied up.
301
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:12,740
- You want a second trailer?
302
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,480
Where else can we put this stuff?
303
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:17,380
- Should we try and get to Oklahoma City?
304
00:15:17,380 --> 00:15:18,840
And then if we need another trailer
305
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:20,060
- Yeah, yeah.
306
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:21,700
- The wheels are almost buckling.
307
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:23,520
Do you think we're being naive?
308
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,380
- Need the pot, need the pot. - Need that pot!
309
00:15:26,380 --> 00:15:27,200
- Fry pan?
310
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:27,740
- Yep.
311
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,880
- I'm kind of just hoping I'll get fit when I get there.
312
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:34,060
- Let's just put the stuff we're taking over here.
313
00:15:34,780 --> 00:15:36,320
Gas canisters, obviously.
314
00:15:36,380 --> 00:15:37,980
- I've never rode that long before.
315
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:39,220
- First aid kit?
316
00:15:39,220 --> 00:15:39,720
- Nup.
317
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,800
- I think I am naive about what it is.
318
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:44,960
- Cam, can you explain what a life straw is?
319
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:49,380
- My understanding is that if you're really down on water
320
00:15:49,380 --> 00:15:51,120
and you come across a contaminated puddle.
321
00:15:51,340 --> 00:15:52,540
- Are we being naive?
322
00:15:52,860 --> 00:15:54,700
- You can just pop that life straw in,
323
00:15:54,700 --> 00:15:56,760
sip through it and then all of a sudden,
324
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:58,000
you're good to go.
325
00:15:59,120 --> 00:15:59,900
- Yep.
326
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:01,700
Why haven't y'all left yet?
327
00:16:03,100 --> 00:16:03,740
- All you gotta do is get on
328
00:16:03,740 --> 00:16:04,780
that damn bike and start pedalin'.
329
00:16:07,340 --> 00:16:09,780
'Right boys, y'all have a safe trip, man, God bless y'all.
330
00:16:10,940 --> 00:16:11,880
Y'all take care.
331
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:13,000
- See ya boys.
332
00:16:13,780 --> 00:16:16,800
- If we were on our own, I don't think we'd make it.
333
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:21,340
There's five of us, the resilience of a group of people,
334
00:16:21,340 --> 00:16:22,960
or a community is pretty strong.
335
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,000
I reckon we'll get there.
336
00:16:26,340 --> 00:16:28,120
- It's a family, it's not a friendship,
337
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:29,560
it's a family type relationship
338
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:30,480
with people not in your family,
339
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:31,320
you know what I mean?
340
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,100
But havin' a group of young men that can travel together
341
00:16:34,100 --> 00:16:36,660
and laugh together, and live together,
342
00:16:36,660 --> 00:16:38,600
that is the coolest thing in the world.
343
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:39,640
That is awesome.
344
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,020
- Well we're lucky to be able to do it.
345
00:16:43,020 --> 00:16:45,760
I think I'm quite happy going into the unknown.
346
00:16:47,780 --> 00:16:50,160
I mean that's what they had to do in the book.
347
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,440
It's a complete unknown at this point,
348
00:16:55,420 --> 00:16:58,740
which is so very exciting.
349
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,340
- Highway 66 is the main migrant road.
350
00:17:09,340 --> 00:17:13,440
66, the long concrete path across the country,
351
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:15,940
waving gently up and down on the map
352
00:17:15,940 --> 00:17:18,260
from Mississippi to Bakersfield,
353
00:17:18,260 --> 00:17:21,040
over the red lands and the gray lands,
354
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:22,780
twisting up into the mountains,
355
00:17:22,780 --> 00:17:24,020
crossing the divide,
356
00:17:24,020 --> 00:17:26,240
and down into the bright
and terrible desert,
357
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,640
and across the desert, to the mountains again,
358
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,180
and into the rich California valleys.
359
00:17:39,980 --> 00:17:40,960
- Man down!
360
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:42,620
- I'll help you.
361
00:17:44,360 --> 00:17:44,980
- You got mine?
362
00:17:46,180 --> 00:17:47,880
Just clipped it on the way passed.
363
00:17:52,360 --> 00:17:55,300
When they fall, they fall hard. - They go down hard.
364
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:58,720
- Mine just clipped this flag and--
365
00:17:58,720 --> 00:17:59,960
- Oh! Oh!
366
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:02,540
- Hang on, hang on.
367
00:18:16,140 --> 00:18:17,180
- You can stay here.
368
00:18:18,060 --> 00:18:18,840
- Really?
369
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:19,340
-Really?
370
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:21,640
- Just on like, throw a tent up?
371
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:24,220
- Yeah, just throw it up.
372
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:25,940
We're camping on the ranch, sir.
373
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:27,460
- What was your name?
374
00:18:27,460 --> 00:18:28,220
- Chip.
375
00:18:28,220 --> 00:18:30,160
- Chip? I'm Charlie.
376
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:31,780
- Charlie?
- Yeah.
377
00:18:31,780 --> 00:18:33,540
- Ollie.
- James, nice to meet you man.
378
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:35,260
- Y'all wanna stay by a creek or somethin'?
379
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:37,060
- Is there a creek around here?
380
00:18:37,060 --> 00:18:37,780
- Well fuck yeah.
381
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:38,940
- Cheers
382
00:18:39,580 --> 00:18:41,180
- Thanks so much for these beers.
383
00:18:41,180 --> 00:18:42,620
Are you sure you can do food?
384
00:18:42,620 --> 00:18:43,800
We can go to town or--
385
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:45,840
- Yeah we can go pick up some stuff, let's do that.
386
00:18:50,620 --> 00:18:52,360
- These people wanna see me do rope tricks.
387
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,000
- Could you lasso me if I ran down there?
388
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:03,400
- Hey, grab your gear,
389
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:05,520
'cause we need to go get all set up
390
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:07,280
by the creek before it gets dark.
391
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:10,600
Quit fuckin' with it.
392
00:19:10,900 --> 00:19:12,420
- Ha ha ha ha, woo!
393
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:18,000
How are you feeling about this, Ollie?
394
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:19,560
Oh, pretty good?
395
00:19:21,360 --> 00:19:23,760
We're just going down to the back of this guy's property...
396
00:19:25,120 --> 00:19:25,840
...to camp.
397
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:29,360
And we just met them.
398
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:39,220
- Did we lose any bags?
- Maybe.
399
00:19:39,900 --> 00:19:41,000
- There you go.
400
00:19:42,380 --> 00:19:43,400
- Yeah, fuck you.
401
00:19:44,820 --> 00:19:48,040
I'm not sure where this outright aggression is coming from.
402
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:49,840
I mean he seems to like us...
403
00:19:51,380 --> 00:19:53,080
But I think he shows that, that manifests
404
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:57,900
as cussing and quite aggressive behavior.
405
00:19:58,600 --> 00:19:59,940
But we'll see, it should be good night,
406
00:19:59,940 --> 00:20:00,800
down at Chip's creek.
407
00:20:01,540 --> 00:20:02,260
Are you worried at all?
408
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:05,380
- No I'm not worried, I'm just wary.
409
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:06,180
Okay.
410
00:20:06,980 --> 00:20:08,640
And do you think Ollie's alright?
411
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:11,660
- Uh, I think he's pretty worried.
412
00:20:11,780 --> 00:20:13,620
- It's a really difficult thing,
413
00:20:13,620 --> 00:20:15,600
because if we're too conservative
414
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:17,260
we're going to have no experiences.
415
00:20:17,300 --> 00:20:17,980
- Absolutely.
416
00:20:17,980 --> 00:20:19,980
We're in a group of people, so you've gotta listen
417
00:20:19,980 --> 00:20:21,900
to everyone's opinions and views
418
00:20:21,900 --> 00:20:23,720
and you've gotta take them into account,
419
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,620
'cause you're making decisions not for yourself and not
420
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:28,800
for one person, you're making decisions for five people.
421
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:31,280
I do agree that we're fine.
422
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,100
- Yeah, they're just pretty friendly and
423
00:20:33,100 --> 00:20:35,100
they show it in interesting way.
424
00:20:35,340 --> 00:20:38,380
- Ay everybody's got a bag of chips and a fuckin' candy bar.
425
00:20:38,380 --> 00:20:39,940
- For real?
- That's nice.
426
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:43,920
- Bought your grab bag of chips and candy bars
427
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,400
and stuff like that, there's beer in here,
428
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:47,600
and here's your change.
429
00:20:48,420 --> 00:20:51,140
- Ah man, thanks, thanks guys.
430
00:20:51,140 --> 00:20:52,700
- Just a little over 50% was used, so.
431
00:20:52,700 --> 00:20:53,700
- Ah, cheers.
432
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,040
- The American dream, the American dream
433
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:02,780
was one salary was enough to buy your house
434
00:21:02,780 --> 00:21:05,320
and your cars and you could go to Disney World
435
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:07,000
or wherever you wanted on vacation.
436
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:10,760
What we live in now, where two people have to work,
437
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:12,840
they're away from their children,
438
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:14,820
'cause they have to both work to survive,
439
00:21:14,820 --> 00:21:18,300
and I think that dynamic's really made a big change.
440
00:21:19,300 --> 00:21:21,260
Do you think the American Dream is broken, or dead?
441
00:21:21,260 --> 00:21:23,060
No, that's the thing,
442
00:21:23,060 --> 00:21:24,660
there's been these ups and downs throughout,
443
00:21:24,660 --> 00:21:26,560
just a little over 225 years.
444
00:21:26,660 --> 00:21:28,740
It's not been a long time as the country goes,
445
00:21:28,740 --> 00:21:30,780
but it's emulated everywhere.
446
00:21:30,780 --> 00:21:32,420
People have an idea of here.
447
00:21:32,420 --> 00:21:33,980
It seems like because of that, we have more
448
00:21:33,980 --> 00:21:37,120
of a responsibility to do better by the world.
449
00:21:38,180 --> 00:21:40,260
- I think these burgers are pretty much
450
00:21:40,260 --> 00:21:41,400
- They're good are they chef?
451
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:45,760
I made 'em extra sloppy for
- Extra sloppy for you, boys.
452
00:21:47,540 --> 00:21:48,280
- They're good.
453
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:50,060
- This is awesome.
454
00:21:50,300 --> 00:21:53,520
Yeah, eat. You gotta pedal all day tomorrow.
455
00:21:54,820 --> 00:21:56,080
- Hey thanks for having us.
456
00:21:56,500 --> 00:21:57,220
- Yeah, thanks.
457
00:21:57,600 --> 00:21:58,600
- This is really nice.
458
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:00,200
- Pretty cool country though.
459
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:02,880
- Yeah you guys won't have any problems.
460
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:05,140
Just, have fun.
461
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:07,840
- It's a long way.
462
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:29,980
- The way they were treated, I mean.
463
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,040
- Well, I don't think that the people
464
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,500
from Oklahoma were well-received in California.
465
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:37,960
- People tryin' to get there
466
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,840
and they were not really wantin' em' there.
467
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:41,920
- So I don't think they were too happy
468
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:43,640
to see a bunch of people coming in there
469
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:48,160
that were basically migrants.
470
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:50,480
- The treatment of the migrant Americans
471
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:55,180
was terrible as the treatment of migrant imported workers
472
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,020
was terrible at that time.
473
00:22:58,020 --> 00:23:01,620
- They were outsiders, certainly outsiders.
474
00:23:01,620 --> 00:23:03,560
- They weren't treated well either.
475
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:06,880
The land owners there took advantage of 'em
476
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:10,620
because of their hard luck problems.
477
00:23:10,620 --> 00:23:12,840
- They were hopin' to find somethin' better.
478
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,360
A lot of 'em stayed, a lot of 'em were forced back out
479
00:23:15,360 --> 00:23:16,740
because they weren't welcome either.
480
00:23:16,740 --> 00:23:18,760
They were Okies, and that's where we get the term Okie from.
481
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:20,560
- It's like everywhere today.
482
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:23,520
You've got people comin' in and I mean,
483
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,140
it's like somebody's takin' your job or you know,
484
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:30,660
back then, jobs didn't pay a whole lot,
485
00:23:30,660 --> 00:23:32,560
and they worked em' hard,
486
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:35,620
and I'm sure the people that had some
487
00:23:35,620 --> 00:23:36,660
of those jobs probably felt
488
00:23:36,660 --> 00:23:38,640
like they were bein' infringed upon
489
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,340
by the other people who were comin' in from Oklahoma.
490
00:23:41,340 --> 00:23:42,940
- We learn from our mistakes
491
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,680
and people shouldn't be treated that way.
492
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,600
- 250 thousand people over the road,
493
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:05,000
50 thousand old cars, wounded and steaming,
494
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:07,480
wrecks along the road abandoned,
495
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:09,500
well, what happened to them?
496
00:24:09,500 --> 00:24:11,680
What happened to the folks in that car?
497
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:13,900
Did they walk? Where are they?
498
00:24:13,900 --> 00:24:15,880
Where does the courage come from?
499
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,360
Where does the terrible faith come from?
500
00:24:18,660 --> 00:24:21,320
The people in flight from the terror behind,
501
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:23,460
strange things happen to them.
502
00:24:23,460 --> 00:24:26,060
Some bitterly cruel, and some so beautiful
503
00:24:26,060 --> 00:24:27,600
that the faith is re-fired forever.
504
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:37,360
So, $405 left, what are we gonna eat?
505
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:39,960
- Let's just get two Pop-Tarts then.
506
00:24:39,980 --> 00:24:41,720
What do you guys think, chocolate fudge?
507
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:42,960
Frosted strawberry?
508
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:44,960
- Brown sugar cinnamon sounds pretty tidy.
509
00:24:45,420 --> 00:24:46,320
- Oh it does.
510
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:47,640
- Is this the best we can do?
511
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:49,460
- It's dirty, like no one's questioning
512
00:24:49,460 --> 00:24:50,640
how dirty this choice is.
513
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:51,920
- I just can't eat that.
514
00:24:52,860 --> 00:24:55,140
I'm gonna die it for the end of the month.
515
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:57,540
There's a pound of grapes,
516
00:24:57,540 --> 00:25:00,240
so there's 500 grams for a dollar, 99 cents.
517
00:25:01,900 --> 00:25:03,340
- Avocado for the Pop-Tarts.
518
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:04,500
- I'll call it.
519
00:25:04,500 --> 00:25:05,900
- Peanuts and butter.
520
00:25:05,900 --> 00:25:06,640
- Alright let's do it.
521
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:08,700
- For real?
522
00:25:08,700 --> 00:25:10,620
- This is not probably the best breakfast.
523
00:25:10,620 --> 00:25:11,860
That's a shocker.
524
00:25:13,660 --> 00:25:17,160
It looks great, it tastes a bit like raw meat.
525
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:19,540
Does anyone else get that?
526
00:25:20,660 --> 00:25:21,460
- That's terrible.
527
00:25:24,660 --> 00:25:26,620
I've got a trailer if somebody wants it?
528
00:25:26,620 --> 00:25:28,300
- So you have a bike trailer?
529
00:25:28,300 --> 00:25:30,820
- Yeah, it's down here about three miles,
530
00:25:30,820 --> 00:25:33,740
if one of you guys can use it, well I'll give it to you.
531
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,400
- We're re-tracing the Grapes of Wrath,
532
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,720
so we started in Sallisaw and riding to California.
533
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:41,080
- For your information,
534
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:42,920
that water tower back down there,
535
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,220
is the oldest standing tower in the state of Oklahoma.
536
00:25:46,300 --> 00:25:49,140
It's not in use, but it's the oldest tower still standin'.
537
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:52,180
- How old is it?
538
00:25:52,180 --> 00:25:53,040
- I don't know.
539
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:54,740
This right there. Yeah, just open the doors and get it.
540
00:25:54,740 --> 00:25:55,540
- Thank you.
541
00:25:55,540 --> 00:25:56,640
- Thanks very much.
542
00:25:58,340 --> 00:26:01,000
Oh yes, it's the same!
543
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,080
But with better wheels!
- How good's that, Ol?
544
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:09,500
- We were gonna buy one in Oklahoma City for 100 bucks,
545
00:26:09,500 --> 00:26:12,400
we've saved money from the kitty.
546
00:26:12,820 --> 00:26:13,700
What a legend.
547
00:26:13,940 --> 00:26:14,960
- Does that work?
548
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:16,160
- Yeah it's perfect!
549
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:48,760
- Thanks for lettin' us use your air.
550
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:49,400
- Thanks so much.
551
00:26:51,700 --> 00:26:53,140
- Yeah man, that's so much better.
552
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:54,720
- You guys own this garage?
553
00:27:03,660 --> 00:27:05,080
Jesus fuck!
554
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:06,240
We've got a flat tire.
555
00:27:06,380 --> 00:27:07,400
That only takes a few pounds, man.
556
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:10,180
You're shootin' like 175 pounds in that son of a bitch.
557
00:27:10,180 --> 00:27:11,780
Oh it's gonna be a big rip.
558
00:27:12,620 --> 00:27:13,820
That's gonna be a new tube.
559
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,480
- So I've given you 40 bucks, Ollie, from the kitty.
560
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:18,160
- Thanks man.
561
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:19,780
- Don't you go and--
562
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:21,400
- Splurge
563
00:27:21,420 --> 00:27:22,860
- Frivolously splurge that Al.
564
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:27,340
- We're retracing the steps
565
00:27:27,340 --> 00:27:29,340
of the Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck.
566
00:27:29,340 --> 00:27:31,220
- Oh yeah? Hard times.
567
00:27:31,860 --> 00:27:35,280
I had a lot of people, my wife's family that lived here
568
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:38,340
that when it got to where they didn't have jobs,
569
00:27:38,340 --> 00:27:41,520
and everything over here was Dust Bowl,
570
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:44,220
they all loaded up the car and took off, and they said,
571
00:27:44,220 --> 00:27:46,840
what I was told, before her mother passed away,
572
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:48,800
she told me that a lot of them that went,
573
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:51,360
some of stayed and some of em' came back
574
00:27:51,360 --> 00:27:54,120
and I said, it wasn't the paradise
575
00:27:54,120 --> 00:27:55,320
that they were told it was gonna be.
576
00:27:55,460 --> 00:27:57,120
- What do you do here, do you work in town?
577
00:27:57,620 --> 00:28:00,760
- No, I'm tryin' to find a job, I just, not havin' any luck.
578
00:28:01,260 --> 00:28:02,680
- So you get around on a bike?
579
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,440
- Yeah, on my bike or on foot. I just had to sell my bike...
580
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:09,180
To buy something to eat. And walk back a couple of weeks ago
581
00:28:10,020 --> 00:28:11,400
- It's that hard to get a job?
582
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:13,000
-Yeah, it's kind of hard.
583
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:15,880
-I don't know if I caught your name?
584
00:28:16,500 --> 00:28:17,380
-Tyler
585
00:28:17,380 --> 00:28:19,020
- Tyler? Charlie.
586
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:21,420
Thanks so much for these.
587
00:28:22,120 --> 00:28:27,600
Tyler's just gifted us with some dice from Vegas.
588
00:28:28,100 --> 00:28:31,380
I just got 'em as a gift.
- Will they be lucky for us?
589
00:28:32,120 --> 00:28:34,540
- I hope so.
- Amazing.
590
00:28:35,100 --> 00:28:36,520
- Awesome.
- Thanks so much man.
591
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:37,280
You're welcome.
592
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:38,540
- I'm gonna ride with them up front.
593
00:28:38,940 --> 00:28:41,360
This was a good place to pop a tire.
594
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:42,560
- Aw, yes, yes!
595
00:28:43,940 --> 00:28:45,540
- Thank you Dave! Wow, man.
596
00:28:45,540 --> 00:28:46,780
- Thanks so much.
597
00:28:46,780 --> 00:28:47,280
- You're welcome.
598
00:28:48,380 --> 00:28:49,240
- Good as new.
599
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:56,800
- Y'all got a long ride.
600
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:02,640
- I know it ain't their fault.
601
00:29:02,780 --> 00:29:05,060
Every person I talk to is on the move
602
00:29:05,060 --> 00:29:06,840
for a damn good reason,
603
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,000
but what's the country comin' to?
604
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:10,340
That's what I wanna know.
605
00:29:10,340 --> 00:29:11,600
What's it comin' to?
606
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:13,820
Fella can't make a livin' no more.
607
00:29:13,820 --> 00:29:16,060
Folks can't make a livin' farming.
608
00:29:16,060 --> 00:29:18,180
I ask you, what's it comin' to?
609
00:29:18,180 --> 00:29:20,380
I can't figure her out.
610
00:29:20,380 --> 00:29:23,480
Everybody I ask, they can't figure her out.
611
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:27,220
Fella wants to trade his shoes so he can get 100 miles on.
612
00:29:27,220 --> 00:29:29,260
I can't figure her out.
613
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:33,900
-I know the owner of the BBQ place there in Choctaw.
614
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:35,200
-What's his name?
615
00:29:35,580 --> 00:29:38,020
-Heath. He actually just had heart transplant surgery.
616
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,240
- You give him a call, and I'll see if I can work a deal.
617
00:29:41,860 --> 00:29:44,020
- If he'll feed all these guys barbecue,
618
00:29:44,020 --> 00:29:47,060
I'll give him free advertising for six months.
619
00:29:48,020 --> 00:29:50,660
If he'll feed them all a meal
620
00:29:51,780 --> 00:29:55,160
- In a positive way, I underestimated how friendly
621
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:59,620
and generous Americans, or Oklahomans, so far, have been.
622
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:01,420
Are you sure, we don't wanna--
623
00:30:01,420 --> 00:30:02,400
- And it's good barbecue too,
624
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:04,060
he's very good at making his barbecue.
625
00:30:04,060 --> 00:30:05,160
- You just don't know how to take it.
626
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:07,940
They're just so genuinely kind.
627
00:30:08,340 --> 00:30:10,060
- You're more than welcome for this
628
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,260
and I know they're very happy
629
00:30:13,260 --> 00:30:15,020
to be able to be a part of it too.
630
00:30:15,020 --> 00:30:17,580
- The story I probably will tell people, when I go home,
631
00:30:17,580 --> 00:30:19,880
is about the BBQ Shack.
632
00:30:21,300 --> 00:30:23,640
- We heard your story and we wanted to donate.
633
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,020
That's a crazy amount of money.
634
00:30:27,020 --> 00:30:29,440
- Donated $100, which itself is amazing enough,
635
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:33,620
but just the fact that he'd just come out of heart surgery.
636
00:30:36,660 --> 00:30:37,760
- How can you afford to...?
637
00:30:38,420 --> 00:30:41,180
- Well hungry guys like you come in and eat our barbecue.
638
00:30:41,420 --> 00:30:43,580
And he said that what we were doing was inspirational
639
00:30:43,580 --> 00:30:45,900
and I just thought, this guy's just got out of hospital.
640
00:30:45,900 --> 00:30:48,140
He's just survived something he shouldn't of survived.
641
00:30:48,420 --> 00:30:51,980
We've been open a little over two years, and I'll tell you,
642
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:56,960
- That's crazy.
643
00:30:59,220 --> 00:31:00,600
It's been a rough ride.
644
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:04,100
I feel like that really encapsulates the generosity
645
00:31:05,340 --> 00:31:07,360
that we've been shown in Oklahoma.
646
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:08,920
- Hey I'm better.
647
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:09,620
That's great news.
648
00:31:09,620 --> 00:31:11,480
- I've got blood flowin' through me, I've got energy goin'
649
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:13,280
-Thank you so much.
650
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:14,240
- Thank you very much.
651
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:16,680
It's really tasty too, thank you so much.
652
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:17,720
- Can I get a picture of you guys with him?
653
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:18,360
- Yeah
654
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:22,040
- Y'all story is amazing.
655
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:22,600
- I'm super sweaty but...
656
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:24,620
- I'm so glad we're filming all of this
657
00:31:24,620 --> 00:31:26,620
because I could go home and talk about it
658
00:31:26,620 --> 00:31:28,700
but it just doesn't do it justice,
659
00:31:28,700 --> 00:31:30,640
what people have done for us.
660
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:32,900
- I'm on steroids so I'm like a woman.
661
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:36,440
-He's on... a lot of medication
662
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:40,160
It is really powerful, I think.
663
00:31:52,940 --> 00:31:55,000
People without much to give are often the ones
664
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:56,000
that give the most.
665
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:57,760
- And you'll see that. Everywhere you go.
666
00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:00,320
The ones who have the least to give will give the most.
667
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:02,260
- Do you think that's part of the American character?
668
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:04,680
- A lot of it, yeah.
669
00:32:04,860 --> 00:32:07,260
- Does that resonate in today's America?
670
00:32:07,260 --> 00:32:08,200
- Absolutely.
671
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:10,040
- Birds of a feather flock together,
672
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:12,820
and I know that for Priscilla and I,
673
00:32:12,820 --> 00:32:14,640
we grew up very poor.
674
00:32:15,020 --> 00:32:16,500
- And why do you think maybe it is
675
00:32:16,500 --> 00:32:18,260
that these without much are often the ones
676
00:32:18,260 --> 00:32:19,180
that give the most?
677
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:21,640
- I think they have humility.
678
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:23,640
- I think they empathize with em',
679
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:25,200
like you don't have much, I don't have much
680
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:26,400
but let me share what I got.
681
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:29,040
- When you've been there and you've experienced need
682
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,360
and want, you can identify it
683
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:33,380
and you wanna meet that need if you're able to.
684
00:32:33,380 --> 00:32:36,480
- In order for us to survive, we have to act as a group,
685
00:32:37,340 --> 00:32:40,340
we have to be part of each other's struggle.
686
00:32:40,620 --> 00:32:41,820
- You don't have to look far
687
00:32:41,820 --> 00:32:43,100
to have somebody help ya.
688
00:32:43,100 --> 00:32:45,240
- I grew up that way, people helping people.
689
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:46,580
- If I need something done,
690
00:32:46,580 --> 00:32:48,280
I've got two or three neighbors that'll come over here
691
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:49,220
and help me get it done.
692
00:32:49,220 --> 00:32:52,280
If they need something, I help them, and none of us is rich.
693
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:53,880
- So we have to stand up
694
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:56,200
and we have to work harder, we have to give more,
695
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:58,320
because if not, they'll just stereotype us,
696
00:32:58,320 --> 00:32:59,860
'ah, they're just poor trash'.
697
00:32:59,860 --> 00:33:02,060
- But if you're a CEO on Wall Street,
698
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:04,520
you don't need anybody.
699
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:06,660
- Where the rich man might just give a dollar,
700
00:33:06,660 --> 00:33:08,460
the poor person might give their last dollar.
701
00:33:09,260 --> 00:33:10,280
Just to help out.
702
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:12,000
So I don't think that's died yet.
703
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,300
I think there's still a lot of good people in this country.
704
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:16,960
We just need to show that there's more good than not.
705
00:33:22,300 --> 00:33:23,140
- I'm Katherine.
706
00:33:23,140 --> 00:33:25,280
- Katherine is it? I'm Cameron.
707
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:25,860
- Hi, Cameron.
708
00:33:25,860 --> 00:33:27,300
- I'm Charlie
- There are stories of my
709
00:33:27,300 --> 00:33:28,840
mother when she was a baby,
710
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:31,800
that they would wet a sheet and put it over her crib,
711
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:34,700
and wet the sheets and put em' up in the windows,
712
00:33:34,700 --> 00:33:36,220
so the dust wouldn't come through.
713
00:33:36,220 --> 00:33:37,560
Anything you want for breakfast.
714
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:38,680
- Thank you so much.
715
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:41,740
- Oh no way!
716
00:33:41,740 --> 00:33:42,760
- It was good to meet you guys.
717
00:33:43,620 --> 00:33:46,380
- The only reason we won't get to California is
718
00:33:46,380 --> 00:33:49,320
because people are so friendly.
719
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:54,720
- Cold, right outta the fridge
- Thank you so much.
720
00:33:58,460 --> 00:33:59,520
- They might need some ice!
721
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:01,760
- Oh, yes. Thank you.
722
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:07,020
- Other than hard physically, for you guys,
723
00:34:07,020 --> 00:34:08,380
it's a little different now.
724
00:34:08,460 --> 00:34:10,180
I mean, there's so many people
725
00:34:10,180 --> 00:34:13,400
that are parked between here and there
726
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:16,640
that are glad to have you guys coming through.
727
00:34:36,780 --> 00:34:40,160
- We're just goin' from Tulsa to Las Vegas,
728
00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:43,280
then over to LA and just kind of seein' the West Coast.
729
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:44,560
- Cool, what's your name?
730
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:45,220
- David
731
00:34:45,220 --> 00:34:46,240
- David, I'm Cameron.
732
00:34:46,240 --> 00:34:47,840
- Good to meet you Cameron.
- You too.
733
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:49,100
- Leon?
- Yeah, nice to meet you.
734
00:34:49,100 --> 00:34:50,040
- And I'm Charlie.
735
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:51,960
- Charlie? Man you guys are fantastic.
736
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:52,960
It's pretty cool.
- Thanks so much.
737
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:54,560
- That's something you'll remember a life time.
738
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:55,100
- Yeah, that's it.
739
00:34:55,100 --> 00:34:56,680
- Tell you what, I'd like
740
00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:58,640
to contribute 100 bucks to what you're all doin'.
741
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:00,020
- 100 dollars that's ludicrous!
742
00:35:00,020 --> 00:35:01,820
Hey, absolutely, I've been to Perth and Sydney.
743
00:35:01,820 --> 00:35:04,280
- We now have more money in the kitty
744
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:05,520
than what we started with
745
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:08,120
because of the generosity of Oklahomans.
746
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:09,720
- Absolutely
- Thank you very much.
747
00:35:09,720 --> 00:35:11,580
- Hey, that is so small compared
748
00:35:11,580 --> 00:35:13,120
to what you guys are doing, you know what I mean?
749
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:14,180
- Quite incredible.
750
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:16,480
- That's just a contribution to success.
751
00:35:32,720 --> 00:35:34,800
- About five miles back, I fell off my bike
752
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:38,440
and went down really hard on my left arm
753
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,020
and it's making some weird noises.
754
00:35:41,980 --> 00:35:43,740
And I can't quite turn it all the way
755
00:35:44,940 --> 00:35:46,580
and I don't wanna think about it too much,
756
00:35:47,380 --> 00:35:49,300
but someone with first aid experience
757
00:35:50,420 --> 00:35:52,500
is gonna wanna do some tests on me.
758
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:56,420
- Is there any pain at the top?
759
00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:57,580
- Nup.
760
00:35:57,660 --> 00:35:59,520
- Just try and press down a little bit, in my hand.
761
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:00,860
See if it hurts.
762
00:36:02,100 --> 00:36:03,680
If it hurts just tell me to stop.
763
00:36:07,060 --> 00:36:08,520
That's really good.
764
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:09,440
Nothing's fractured,
765
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:10,680
'cause I was getting right into your bone.
766
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:12,240
- Yeah, and it's?
767
00:36:12,240 --> 00:36:13,560
- And right into everything around your wrist,
768
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:14,540
so it's totally fine.
769
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:16,480
Give it a night see how it goes.
770
00:36:43,020 --> 00:36:43,980
- That is swollen.
771
00:36:46,220 --> 00:36:47,800
- Hold your hands together.
772
00:36:48,540 --> 00:36:49,040
- Ah.
773
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:51,360
- That's swollen.
774
00:36:51,540 --> 00:36:53,660
- Should we put a compression bandage on that?
775
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:56,580
- I'd love to put something on it. Is that possible?
776
00:36:58,260 --> 00:36:58,760
Fuck.
777
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:05,160
What are you thinking this is?
778
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:06,200
Still a sprain?
779
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:07,320
- Ah, I'm not a doctor.
780
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:09,040
I can assure you I'm not exaggerating this,
781
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:11,220
the last thing I fuckin' need on this trip, is this.
782
00:37:11,220 --> 00:37:12,680
- No, it doesn't look like you are, man.
783
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:15,920
- It's like near impossible to move it in,
784
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,180
pretty much every direction it needs to go.
785
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:19,260
- You gonna be able to ride?
786
00:37:20,420 --> 00:37:21,660
- I've been riding all morning.
787
00:37:21,660 --> 00:37:24,980
I just kinda need to know that it's gonna go away.
788
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:27,600
Unless it's fractured or something.
789
00:37:35,700 --> 00:37:38,300
Hello, I fell off my bicycle
790
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:42,740
and this arm of mine is in a lot of trouble.
791
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:45,100
- Don't do it. We'll do it outside, Red.
792
00:37:45,100 --> 00:37:46,660
- We don't wanna get kicked out. Red!
793
00:37:47,300 --> 00:37:49,140
- Red, no. Turn it off, please.
794
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:54,580
- Ben Ed, are we gonna pick up your pick up,
795
00:37:54,580 --> 00:37:56,080
so we can pick up the other guys?
796
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:57,120
- Yeah.
- Then I'll drive.
797
00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:58,880
- So at the moment, we're getting a ride
798
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:00,780
with some very friendly Texans.
799
00:38:01,300 --> 00:38:03,280
We're gonna go catch up with the rest of the group.
800
00:38:03,740 --> 00:38:05,080
Let em' know what's going on.
801
00:38:07,220 --> 00:38:10,000
- These lovely people are more than happy
802
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:11,480
to put us up for this evening.
803
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:13,820
- Sorry what was your name?
804
00:38:13,820 --> 00:38:14,560
- Ben Ed.
805
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:15,620
- Ben--
- Ben. Ed.
806
00:38:15,620 --> 00:38:17,040
- Ben Ed and Lee Ann.
807
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:21,240
- Okay, it is a short ride to our house.
808
00:38:21,240 --> 00:38:24,600
Everything that we can't ride with, put it in this truck.
809
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:25,720
- Thank you so much.
810
00:38:25,720 --> 00:38:26,760
- First town in Texas, isn't it?
811
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:27,440
-Yeah
812
00:38:27,740 --> 00:38:29,140
- That's three times Ben Ed has said.
813
00:38:29,140 --> 00:38:31,300
I've asked him a question, he said, "It's Texas."
814
00:38:31,300 --> 00:38:32,900
That's his answer: "It's Texas."
815
00:38:34,740 --> 00:38:35,500
- What's the go?
816
00:38:36,100 --> 00:38:37,440
- Fracture.
817
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:38,560
Two weeks.
818
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:39,980
- No riding.
819
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:40,860
- Well...
820
00:38:40,860 --> 00:38:42,820
- I feel like as a group, we're pretty strong,
821
00:38:42,820 --> 00:38:44,740
we'll stay together, no matter what happens.
822
00:38:44,740 --> 00:38:46,900
So, if one of us can't make it,
823
00:38:46,900 --> 00:38:48,600
I feel like the rest of the group
824
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:50,760
would call the trip there as well.
825
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:53,700
- We could stop at this church and get a free meal.
826
00:38:53,700 --> 00:38:55,660
And they would think that that was wonderful.
827
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:58,880
- So where are we going to now?
828
00:38:59,040 --> 00:38:59,780
This is the..?
829
00:38:59,780 --> 00:39:01,180
- This is the Cornerstone Church.
830
00:39:01,180 --> 00:39:03,940
They had a 4th of July celebration this morning.
831
00:39:05,660 --> 00:39:08,800
- I've probably got a really romanticized idea about
832
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:10,740
what small town America is like.
833
00:39:10,740 --> 00:39:13,980
I kind of just picture us rolling up into a town
834
00:39:13,980 --> 00:39:16,820
and they'll be homely and generous
835
00:39:16,820 --> 00:39:18,480
and they'll invite us in for dinner and--
836
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:20,540
- I've got one plate for one of y'all already.
837
00:39:20,940 --> 00:39:22,020
- Oh, really?
838
00:39:22,020 --> 00:39:23,320
- Who wants the first plate?
839
00:39:23,460 --> 00:39:26,640
- There'll still be a kind of 1930's community vibe.
840
00:39:27,240 --> 00:39:30,040
- I'm just sorry for all the good food that you've missed.
841
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:33,440
- His dad helped build Route 66.
842
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:34,080
- Oh really?
843
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:35,400
- But, we might get there
844
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:37,180
and there might be Walmarts and McDonalds
845
00:39:37,180 --> 00:39:40,980
and communities that aren't as open as we would hope.
846
00:39:41,220 --> 00:39:42,740
- This was the Dust Bowl.
847
00:39:43,340 --> 00:39:46,020
It was quite a time in our history.
848
00:39:46,020 --> 00:39:48,080
- I've been here since '39.
849
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:49,220
- Since '39?
850
00:39:49,220 --> 00:39:49,720
- Yeah.
851
00:39:49,720 --> 00:39:51,960
- Within, what? 30, 40 mile?
852
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:53,540
- Well, within a, yeah, 20 mile
853
00:39:53,540 --> 00:39:54,840
- 20 mile radius?
- Mile radius?
854
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:56,320
There was no revenue for it.
855
00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:58,300
I mean nobody could make anything off of it.
856
00:39:58,300 --> 00:39:59,700
There was no rain.
857
00:39:59,700 --> 00:40:01,580
Most of em' found work, eventually.
858
00:40:01,580 --> 00:40:03,580
I mean, they started at the very bottom,
859
00:40:03,580 --> 00:40:06,800
gathering vegetables and gathering fruit
860
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:09,680
was probably as low as you could get
861
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:15,440
and they were treated like less than human.
862
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:17,040
- And you're still farming today?
863
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:18,160
- Still farming.
- Still doing it,
864
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:18,920
and you're 84?
865
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:19,480
- Yeah.
866
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:21,780
- Have you ever though of leaving or this is you?
867
00:40:21,780 --> 00:40:23,520
- No, this is home.
868
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:24,160
- This is it?
869
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:24,660
-Yup
870
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:29,600
- "Sure", cried the tenant man, "but it's our land.
871
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:31,760
"We measured it and broke it up.
872
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:35,520
"We were born on it, we got killed on it, died on it.
873
00:40:36,300 --> 00:40:38,520
"Even if it's no good, it's still ours.
874
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:41,000
"That's what makes it ours, being born on it,
875
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:44,560
"working it, dying on it, that makes ownership,
876
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:46,480
"not a paper with numbers on it."
877
00:40:56,900 --> 00:40:58,920
- Two weeks in total in the sling, yep,
878
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:02,700
then the next two, three days, he needs to rest with it.
879
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:04,360
So in a Joad family kind of way?
880
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:06,360
- Yeah, yeah I do.
881
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:09,120
I do think that we'd stay together as a tight little unit.
882
00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:11,500
What we're doing is riding on roads with trucks
883
00:41:11,500 --> 00:41:13,240
going seventy-five miles an hour
884
00:41:13,240 --> 00:41:18,060
is sort of risky enough as it is.
885
00:41:18,060 --> 00:41:20,600
To do it one-handed I think would be reckless.
886
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:23,200
- And because of that, I think we will make it.
887
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:26,040
Lee Ann, she just said to me...
888
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:28,920
if you want, you can stay here one or two nights,
889
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:31,680
and they could drop you in the next town,
890
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:33,220
or even in Amarillo?
891
00:41:33,220 --> 00:41:34,660
- Wow
- Wow
892
00:41:34,660 --> 00:41:37,440
- I don't think if something happens to one person
893
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:39,340
that four will go on and one,
894
00:41:39,980 --> 00:41:41,360
that's not in the nature of the book,
895
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:43,120
and I don't think it's gonna be in the nature of this trip.
896
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:46,400
- The four of us will definitely ride out tomorrow at 5am.
897
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:48,420
- One last question for you.
898
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:50,820
If Cameron rocks-up in two days time at
899
00:41:50,820 --> 00:41:51,980
the meeting point in Amarillo,
900
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:53,280
and can't ride a bike?
901
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:02,280
- Get him one of those side-karts.
902
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:03,980
- Night all. Thanks so much.
903
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:06,980
- I've been really overwhelmed
904
00:42:06,980 --> 00:42:08,400
with what we've received from them
905
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:09,840
and how willing they are to help.
906
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:12,720
- Don't forget the cinnamon bread.
907
00:42:14,300 --> 00:42:15,300
- We can pack that?
908
00:42:15,300 --> 00:42:16,580
- Yeah, it's yours
909
00:42:16,580 --> 00:42:17,420
- How much should we take?
910
00:42:17,420 --> 00:42:18,340
- All of it?
911
00:42:18,940 --> 00:42:21,360
Oh yeah, it's really good.
- You might leave a bite for Cam
912
00:42:21,980 --> 00:42:24,400
- It's just been the most warm
913
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:26,960
and welcoming experience that I've ever had
914
00:42:27,980 --> 00:42:29,200
and we're only eight days in.
915
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:29,960
- Thank you so much.
916
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:30,800
- Yeah, thank you so much.
917
00:42:32,860 --> 00:42:34,040
- Thank you so much.
918
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:37,540
- Good to meet all of you. Be safe.
919
00:42:39,260 --> 00:42:42,380
- Maybe it was all men and all women we love.
920
00:42:42,380 --> 00:42:45,220
Maybe it was the Holy Spirit, the human spirit,
921
00:42:45,220 --> 00:42:46,880
the whole she-bang.
922
00:42:47,500 --> 00:42:50,640
Maybe all men got one big soul.
923
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:52,580
Everybody's part of it.
924
00:42:52,580 --> 00:42:56,760
Now I sit and think, and all of a sudden, I know it.
925
00:42:56,760 --> 00:43:01,680
I know it deep down that it was true, and I still know it.
926
00:43:19,900 --> 00:43:20,680
How you feeling?
927
00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:22,860
- Ah, not great.
928
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:27,120
Feeling a bit down.
929
00:43:28,240 --> 00:43:30,320
Fuck you! fuck you!
930
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:31,960
- What?
- You just kicked my foot.
931
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:35,560
- Well I didn't mean to!
932
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:36,280
- I know.
933
00:43:37,100 --> 00:43:39,660
I didn't mean to insult you but fuck it hurts.
934
00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:41,660
- Well I'm sorry.
935
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:49,720
I think it's because of the exhaustion
936
00:43:49,720 --> 00:43:54,820
and the early start in the cold, in the rain.
937
00:43:54,820 --> 00:43:58,340
Something teared in my leg or I don't know what happened
938
00:43:58,340 --> 00:44:02,840
but I felt this sudden sharp pain around my calf
939
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:05,920
and now it's all the way to my butt cheek,
940
00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:08,300
and my thigh, and my toes.
941
00:44:08,300 --> 00:44:10,600
It's gonna be rainy and cold all day.
942
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:12,740
We have another 44 miles to do,
943
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:16,700
and another three states to cross,
944
00:44:20,260 --> 00:44:21,460
but it's gonna be fine.
945
00:44:26,780 --> 00:44:30,940
One option is... we continue riding as a group of four.
946
00:44:33,140 --> 00:44:37,300
Second option is we call Cam and ask if it's a possibility
947
00:44:37,300 --> 00:44:40,780
that Ben Ed and Lee Ann when they're dropping Cam off
948
00:44:40,780 --> 00:44:43,880
in Amarillo, maybe they could come via here and pick you up.
949
00:44:45,420 --> 00:44:49,000
- And we could possibly find somewhere else in this town...
950
00:44:50,340 --> 00:44:51,540
Like a library or something?
951
00:44:51,540 --> 00:44:52,040
- Yeah.
952
00:44:57,140 --> 00:44:58,080
- I hate you.
953
00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:01,460
- Droppin' like flies.
954
00:45:01,980 --> 00:45:04,540
Just the three of us, and then there were three.
955
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:07,440
- Three people.
956
00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:13,380
- Have you torn a muscle
957
00:45:13,380 --> 00:45:14,460
or have you strained a muscle?
958
00:45:14,460 --> 00:45:15,480
- Ah, torn a muscle.
959
00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:16,480
- He's torn a muscle.
960
00:45:18,940 --> 00:45:20,620
The option is that Red can go back
961
00:45:20,620 --> 00:45:23,080
to Lee Ann and Ben Ed's house for a few days
962
00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:24,380
to re-cooperate and then,
963
00:45:24,380 --> 00:45:26,960
they've got a vehicle that they're gonna lend us
964
00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:28,960
to get Red out to wherever we are.
965
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:30,540
Sort of feels like it's in their nature
966
00:45:30,540 --> 00:45:33,060
to just take people in and look after them and help out.
967
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:34,600
That could make all the difference,
968
00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:38,140
those two days of rest and just not moving it.
969
00:45:41,260 --> 00:45:42,320
- How you doing?
970
00:45:46,220 --> 00:45:47,640
- How you doing?
- I'm Ollie,
971
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:48,600
- I'm Ricky. Nice to meet you.
972
00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:50,180
I don't mind a bit.
973
00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:51,700
- Really? That's so nice.
974
00:45:52,980 --> 00:45:53,880
- How's your hand?
975
00:45:54,180 --> 00:45:57,080
- I've got that much and I've got that much,
976
00:45:57,080 --> 00:45:58,460
- Well that's just enough.
977
00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:00,100
- That's all I need.
978
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:04,320
- You don't need to brake, right? On this trip. You're good.
979
00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:06,800
- Keep stretching.
980
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:08,560
- Yeah you too, get your leg better.
981
00:47:06,060 --> 00:47:09,840
- We rode for 65 miles yesterday with trailers
982
00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:12,480
and it way okay cause it was pretty flat
983
00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:16,280
but they're just a pretty big burden
984
00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:17,860
and they slow us down quite a bit
985
00:47:17,860 --> 00:47:20,380
cause the two bikes without trailers can go a lot faster,
986
00:47:20,380 --> 00:47:22,080
they have to kind of crawl behind
987
00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:24,640
Leon, could you describe to me
988
00:47:24,640 --> 00:47:26,960
why there's been in such a move towards
989
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:28,300
culling everything we've ever owned?
990
00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:31,580
- Yesterday we bumped into another cyclist
991
00:47:31,580 --> 00:47:33,060
- I'm from China, Beijing!
992
00:47:33,060 --> 00:47:35,180
and he was traveling so, so light.
993
00:47:35,180 --> 00:47:36,420
- Such a light bike.
994
00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:39,420
You go and just pick his bike up with one hand.
995
00:47:39,420 --> 00:47:40,745
It was an aluminum frame,
996
00:47:40,745 --> 00:47:42,440
he had two panniers on the back,
997
00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:43,787
two tiny water bottles
998
00:47:43,787 --> 00:47:45,440
And that's the other thing
999
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:46,840
he gave us all these gifts!
1000
00:47:47,020 --> 00:47:48,360
So, not only was he traveling light,
1001
00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:49,900
but he was carrying gifts for everyone.
1002
00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:51,140
- Oh, nice!
1003
00:47:52,100 --> 00:47:52,940
It was unbelievable!
1004
00:47:53,120 --> 00:47:54,540
It's the instruments mainly, isn't it?
1005
00:47:54,540 --> 00:47:55,040
- Yeah.
1006
00:47:55,340 --> 00:47:57,780
The ground that he had covered in one day
1007
00:47:57,780 --> 00:47:59,200
takes us two days to cover.
1008
00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:01,680
I think we all just left after that,
1009
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:04,060
just thinking, why are we carrying so much weight?
1010
00:48:04,060 --> 00:48:05,720
We've gotta get rid of these trailers.
1011
00:48:05,720 --> 00:48:08,100
- So, we're gonna try and busk as much as we can.
1012
00:48:08,100 --> 00:48:10,300
- We're gonna get rid of the guitars, drum kits.
1013
00:48:10,300 --> 00:48:11,540
- Our trailers, if we can.
1014
00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:13,580
- I think the new plan will work.
1015
00:48:13,580 --> 00:48:16,340
More than that, I think it's our very best shot
1016
00:48:16,340 --> 00:48:20,800
so if that doesn't work, no other plan will.
1017
00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:23,340
- But this thing's just getting in the way now.
1018
00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:26,660
I just... why can't I get extension?
1019
00:48:27,140 --> 00:48:28,500
- I can't, ah!
- Happened three days ago.
1020
00:48:28,500 --> 00:48:30,300
- It's just like lifting it up to there...
1021
00:48:30,300 --> 00:48:31,340
- Don't do it then.
1022
00:48:32,500 --> 00:48:34,120
- Is that as straight as it can go, Cam?
1023
00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:43,120
- Red's been away, nursing his injury,
1024
00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:44,740
back with Lee Ann and Ben Ed,
1025
00:48:44,740 --> 00:48:47,520
so he's rolling in, hopefully refreshed
1026
00:48:47,520 --> 00:48:48,980
and ready to keep shooting.
1027
00:48:50,340 --> 00:48:51,740
- Have we been spoilt?
1028
00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:53,580
- Yeah, definitely.
1029
00:48:53,580 --> 00:48:55,260
We've definitely been spoilt.
1030
00:48:55,260 --> 00:48:57,540
I mean, we didn't really need to busk for the first,
1031
00:48:58,260 --> 00:49:00,220
we still haven't needed to, really.
1032
00:49:45,380 --> 00:49:47,180
We just didn't factor in headwind.
1033
00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:51,620
On the other side of Santa Rosa there's a nasty storm...
1034
00:49:51,620 --> 00:49:53,380
could only see about thirty feet in front of me.
1035
00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:54,320
- It's comin' at us!
1036
00:49:54,320 --> 00:49:55,960
- It's gonna be at Santa Rosa before you get there.
1037
00:49:56,080 --> 00:49:57,200
- Do you think we'll make it to
1038
00:49:57,200 --> 00:49:58,220
Santa Rosa before the storm?
1039
00:49:59,880 --> 00:50:01,100
- No, look, I don't think we will
1040
00:50:01,100 --> 00:50:02,280
and that's not being pessimistic,
1041
00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:04,000
I just, I can see it right there
1042
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:05,420
and we've got a long, long way to go.
1043
00:50:05,720 --> 00:50:06,580
- You're so welcome.
1044
00:50:06,580 --> 00:50:08,280
- Oh, these are good bananas too!
1045
00:50:08,320 --> 00:50:11,200
- Today's been the biggest slog for all of us.
1046
00:50:11,200 --> 00:50:12,700
If we can get to the other side in one piece,
1047
00:50:12,700 --> 00:50:14,100
that'll be great.
1048
00:50:14,100 --> 00:50:14,900
- Seen that lightening?
1049
00:50:14,900 --> 00:50:15,400
- Oh, yeah.
1050
00:50:19,720 --> 00:50:21,620
- I think we're doing the right thing.
1051
00:50:21,620 --> 00:50:22,480
- It's not dangerous,
1052
00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:23,680
we're not doing anything dangerous.
1053
00:50:23,740 --> 00:50:25,920
- Sure, but I feel like we should be in shelter
1054
00:50:25,920 --> 00:50:27,060
if this turns around.
1055
00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:31,360
- We're traveling into this storm and it is coming at us,
1056
00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:33,800
and this headwind, I've never experienced anything like it.
1057
00:50:33,800 --> 00:50:35,440
The only time, I think on this entire trip,
1058
00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:36,520
we've taken a team vote.
1059
00:50:36,520 --> 00:50:38,320
Do we keep pushing on, or do we head back?
1060
00:50:38,760 --> 00:50:40,020
And if it's three versus two.
1061
00:50:40,020 --> 00:50:42,980
We ride back with the tailwind, now.
1062
00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:45,120
We do two miles in about a minute.
1063
00:50:56,500 --> 00:50:58,900
It's going to be a funny scene though in the documentary,
1064
00:50:58,900 --> 00:51:01,480
like us riding-out heroically into the storm.
1065
00:51:01,480 --> 00:51:03,300
- And then just carting... us just like...
1066
00:51:03,300 --> 00:51:05,140
- Did you get footage of us coming back, Red?
1067
00:51:05,140 --> 00:51:06,160
- Yep, oh yeah.
1068
00:51:06,160 --> 00:51:11,260
- I put in some hard yards, so that crushed me,
1069
00:51:11,260 --> 00:51:12,480
that I had to turn around.
1070
00:51:21,120 --> 00:51:22,920
- Given that we had to back track there,
1071
00:51:22,920 --> 00:51:26,000
and then stay the night in an old, abandoned barn,
1072
00:51:26,720 --> 00:51:29,280
we thought we'd try our hand at busking the next day.
1073
00:51:31,140 --> 00:51:32,940
- Opens at 6:30 tomorrow,
1074
00:51:32,940 --> 00:51:35,000
so we should be set up to go at like eight.
1075
00:51:35,940 --> 00:51:37,960
This town is a town called Newkirk,
1076
00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:41,540
which is just one post office slash gas station,
1077
00:51:41,540 --> 00:51:44,400
owned by this enigmatic character
1078
00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:47,020
and he did say we could do it, so we got his clearance?
1079
00:51:47,020 --> 00:51:48,260
- Yeah, I asked him.
1080
00:51:48,740 --> 00:51:50,120
- Yeah, and he's cool?
1081
00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:52,160
- I said "You keen for some music tomorrow?"
1082
00:51:52,160 --> 00:51:53,260
He said, "Yeah, whatever you guys reckon,
1083
00:51:53,260 --> 00:51:54,540
"whatever you want."
1084
00:51:54,540 --> 00:51:58,360
He's like, really nice but, doesn't believe at all in us.
1085
00:51:58,900 --> 00:51:59,400
"Yeah, sure.
1086
00:51:59,400 --> 00:52:01,280
If you idiots think you can"!
1087
00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:11,360
- Holy Spirit, we just draw in your spirit,
1088
00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:14,360
universal spirit, and allow them to be blessed
1089
00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:16,460
everywhere they go, everything that they do,
1090
00:52:16,460 --> 00:52:18,340
thank you Holy Spirit for what you're doing
1091
00:52:18,340 --> 00:52:21,360
for these young men and allow them
to have a fascinating,
1092
00:52:21,360 --> 00:52:22,110
hallelujah,
1093
00:52:22,110 --> 00:52:25,040
fascinating experience, and so it is, amen.
1094
00:52:25,720 --> 00:52:28,200
And I'm universal, I'm not...
1095
00:52:29,580 --> 00:52:31,380
I love you guys, I want to eat you up,
I want to eat you up!
1096
00:52:31,920 --> 00:52:32,700
- Thanks, Olly.
1097
00:52:32,700 --> 00:52:33,700
- Safe travels.
1098
00:52:33,700 --> 00:52:35,320
- Are you guys gonna hang around for a song?
1099
00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:37,180
- We don't have enough money, in my opinion,
1100
00:52:37,180 --> 00:52:39,360
to just go and sell our gear and ride,
1101
00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:42,020
so we will need to busk and we'll need
1102
00:52:42,020 --> 00:52:44,120
to make a few hundred dollars, I think.
1103
00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:47,500
- Yeah, I am looking forward to busking,
1104
00:52:47,500 --> 00:52:51,700
but I'm a little tentative about it,
1105
00:52:52,940 --> 00:52:54,780
because it will be a challenge for me.
1106
00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:59,800
It is not something that I would normally want to do.
1107
00:53:06,660 --> 00:53:08,000
By your side
[singing]
1108
00:53:09,640 --> 00:53:14,060
I only want to be by your side
[singing]
1109
00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:16,300
- Awesome!
1110
00:53:16,300 --> 00:53:17,120
- Thanks brother!
1111
00:53:19,140 --> 00:53:20,320
Whoa!
1112
00:53:21,660 --> 00:53:22,900
- Would you like to request a song?
1113
00:53:22,900 --> 00:53:24,340
We've only got six, so.
1114
00:53:24,540 --> 00:53:25,700
- Which six do you have?
1115
00:53:25,700 --> 00:53:27,840
- Chances are you won't... get the song you want
1116
00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:29,240
- That's a good start
1117
00:53:29,240 --> 00:53:31,640
- We've got twenty seven in a half hour.
1118
00:53:31,640 --> 00:53:33,520
- You guys crank it up, you sonova' bitches!
1119
00:53:36,380 --> 00:53:37,740
- Let's play around.
1120
00:53:37,740 --> 00:53:39,820
- I thought max $50.
1121
00:53:40,600 --> 00:53:42,260
I thought that would be a pretty good outcome.
1122
00:53:42,260 --> 00:53:43,480
- I thought we were capable
1123
00:53:43,480 --> 00:53:47,600
of maybe pulling in 100, to possibly just over?
1124
00:53:47,600 --> 00:53:48,740
- Thanks so much
1125
00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:52,140
- And it really did start to get busy
1126
00:53:52,140 --> 00:53:54,420
and we just had this blitz of a run
1127
00:53:54,420 --> 00:53:56,360
in the first hour or so I think it was
1128
00:53:56,360 --> 00:53:58,000
We at one point counted $100
1129
00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:00,000
and we had been doing it for an hour and a half
1130
00:54:00,240 --> 00:54:01,480
- Pretty good music.
1131
00:54:01,560 --> 00:54:02,800
- How's it going?
1132
00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:04,360
We're getting rid of the instruments today.
1133
00:54:05,140 --> 00:54:06,740
Are we going to get rid of them today?
1134
00:54:06,740 --> 00:54:07,240
- Surely.
1135
00:54:08,920 --> 00:54:11,000
- Well we're not carrying them.
1136
00:54:12,940 --> 00:54:15,740
- I also think we gotta give our main man a percentage
1137
00:54:15,740 --> 00:54:18,280
or buy a lot of food from him, or something.
1138
00:54:19,480 --> 00:54:21,120
I'm giving you your cut.
1139
00:54:21,400 --> 00:54:22,540
- Did you guys already finish?
1140
00:54:23,140 --> 00:54:24,700
- Well, unless there's another rush through,
1141
00:54:24,700 --> 00:54:27,020
we're gonna have to hit Santa Rosa before we leave
1142
00:54:27,040 --> 00:54:28,440
but we made $150 even.
1143
00:54:28,440 --> 00:54:29,560
- No, go ahead.
1144
00:54:29,560 --> 00:54:30,140
- No, no, no.
1145
00:54:31,580 --> 00:54:34,200
- Thank you so much for letting us busk out in front.
1146
00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:36,640
I mean, your gas station's what brings people here,
1147
00:54:36,640 --> 00:54:37,800
it certainly wasn't us.
1148
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:39,680
- Good luck.
1149
00:54:39,680 --> 00:54:41,260
- Thanks for your hospitality.
1150
00:54:41,260 --> 00:54:42,640
- Thank you very much.
1151
00:54:43,520 --> 00:54:45,160
- So you've been here for 40...
1152
00:54:45,160 --> 00:54:46,360
- Six years.
1153
00:54:46,360 --> 00:54:47,300
- 46 years?
1154
00:54:47,300 --> 00:54:48,400
- Were your parents here beforehand?
1155
00:54:48,400 --> 00:54:48,900
- No.
1156
00:54:48,900 --> 00:54:49,920
- How did you end up here?
1157
00:54:50,740 --> 00:54:52,740
- I took the wrong turn in Albuquerque.
1158
00:54:57,840 --> 00:54:59,840
I definitely didn't think anyone would...
1159
00:55:00,540 --> 00:55:01,920
...want to buy the instruments.
1160
00:55:02,060 --> 00:55:03,160
- Do it baby, do it!
1161
00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:05,780
-Do you play guitar?
1162
00:55:05,780 --> 00:55:06,500
-I play a little bit
1163
00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:08,660
-Are you interested in buying one?
1164
00:55:08,660 --> 00:55:10,200
We are selling all this
1165
00:55:16,400 --> 00:55:18,000
He should be busking instead of us
1166
00:55:19,180 --> 00:55:21,240
-Yeah I feel like the people out here are nicer
1167
00:55:21,240 --> 00:55:24,140
but I mean as long as your heart is in the right place
1168
00:55:24,140 --> 00:55:27,780
and God knows your heart and what you want to do
1169
00:55:27,780 --> 00:55:29,780
and you're staying on that course.
1170
00:55:29,780 --> 00:55:31,940
So that's what I'm trying to do cause I know
my faith wasn't as strong at one point
1171
00:55:32,560 --> 00:55:34,560
So I'm gonna pray for you guys so that way you guys
1172
00:55:34,560 --> 00:55:36,560
make it to where you're supposed to go safe and sound.
1173
00:55:36,560 --> 00:55:37,060
-Thank you
1174
00:55:37,060 --> 00:55:38,380
-Cause if your heart is in the right place
1175
00:55:38,380 --> 00:55:40,860
and you love what you do, then it shouldn't be a problem
1176
00:55:41,400 --> 00:55:42,820
- Make an offer and it's all yours.
1177
00:55:42,820 --> 00:55:43,320
Ah, wow.
1178
00:55:43,760 --> 00:55:44,620
- That one there, right?
1179
00:55:44,620 --> 00:55:46,260
The one that you were jammin' on?
1180
00:55:46,260 --> 00:55:46,760
- Yeah.
1181
00:55:47,860 --> 00:55:51,960
- We sold that one for $40 with case
1182
00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:53,700
and a few extra sets of strings.
1183
00:55:59,100 --> 00:56:00,820
- I'm gonna have to get on outta here,
1184
00:56:00,820 --> 00:56:01,840
but nice to meet you.
1185
00:56:01,840 --> 00:56:02,460
- Thank you.
1186
00:56:02,460 --> 00:56:03,360
- Enjoy the guitar, good luck.
1187
00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:03,860
- Alright, man.
1188
00:56:03,860 --> 00:56:05,600
-Good luck with your studies
1189
00:56:05,600 --> 00:56:06,660
-'Preciate it
1190
00:56:07,420 --> 00:56:08,040
- Howdy howdy!
1191
00:56:09,180 --> 00:56:10,940
We're about to head on out...
1192
00:56:10,940 --> 00:56:11,800
- Good luck guys.
1193
00:56:11,800 --> 00:56:12,560
- Thank you.
1194
00:56:12,560 --> 00:56:13,680
We've got all these instruments here
1195
00:56:13,680 --> 00:56:15,580
and we don't really wanna take them with us.
1196
00:56:15,580 --> 00:56:17,460
We were wondering if you wanted to maybe,
1197
00:56:17,460 --> 00:56:21,400
if you're interested you could buy them cheaply?
1198
00:56:21,400 --> 00:56:22,320
- If you're interested,
1199
00:56:22,320 --> 00:56:23,760
any offer you'd make would be great.
1200
00:56:24,880 --> 00:56:27,120
Cause we just really can't take them much further.
1201
00:56:27,680 --> 00:56:29,280
- So we've got this snare.
1202
00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:31,800
Don't worry about any of the prices on it.
1203
00:56:31,800 --> 00:56:33,700
- You won't be able to make any money.
1204
00:56:33,700 --> 00:56:36,860
- We're done, we're gonna hit the hills.
1205
00:56:36,860 --> 00:56:38,380
- We're trying to rush to California.
1206
00:56:38,380 --> 00:56:38,880
- Oh, okay.
1207
00:56:39,420 --> 00:56:41,320
I don't wanna embarrass ya (laughs).
1208
00:56:41,320 --> 00:56:42,820
- Make us an offer.
1209
00:56:42,820 --> 00:56:44,160
- It won't embarrass us.
1210
00:56:44,160 --> 00:56:45,580
- It won't be embarrassing, no, it won't be.
1211
00:56:47,740 --> 00:56:48,620
- 60 bucks.
1212
00:56:48,620 --> 00:56:49,580
- Done.
- Sold.
1213
00:56:49,600 --> 00:56:50,240
- Done.
1214
00:56:53,500 --> 00:56:54,260
Thank you, man.
1215
00:56:55,840 --> 00:56:58,460
- Had a really... big crack at having a busk...
1216
00:56:58,460 --> 00:57:01,020
Raise some money, get rid of the trailers and push on.
1217
00:57:01,020 --> 00:57:02,720
- Greatest decision we've ever made.
1218
00:57:05,880 --> 00:57:07,120
- What a day.
1219
00:57:07,120 --> 00:57:09,660
So do we still have trailers?
- Gone! They're done!
1220
00:57:09,660 --> 00:57:13,020
- Cut 'em loose, cut 'em loose!
1221
00:57:17,280 --> 00:57:18,800
- When they're all working together,
1222
00:57:18,800 --> 00:57:20,540
not one fella for another fella,
1223
00:57:20,540 --> 00:57:23,500
but one fella kind of harnessed to the whole she-bang.
1224
00:57:23,520 --> 00:57:25,600
That's right, that's holy.
1225
00:57:35,880 --> 00:57:37,120
- Here's some people.
1226
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:39,640
We'll see, well maybe these people,
1227
00:57:39,640 --> 00:57:41,480
I bet ya these people are getting off the road.
1228
00:57:41,480 --> 00:57:43,280
- They're touring, they're touring bikes.
1229
00:57:43,280 --> 00:57:45,100
- You're in our way buddy, move it.
1230
00:57:45,100 --> 00:57:46,420
Move out of the way.
1231
00:57:46,420 --> 00:57:48,480
Dude, I'll run over you, cause I'm bad,
1232
00:57:48,480 --> 00:57:49,900
I'm bad to the freakin' bone here.
1233
00:57:49,900 --> 00:57:51,900
- Thank you for not running over the bicyclists.
1234
00:57:53,800 --> 00:57:55,060
Oh that guy's goin' for it.
1235
00:57:57,200 --> 00:57:59,520
Oh, they're all goin' for it, so we'll go check em' out.
1236
00:57:59,920 --> 00:58:01,200
How long you been out here?
1237
00:58:01,200 --> 00:58:03,140
- This is day 16?
1238
00:58:03,140 --> 00:58:04,640
- 16, yeah, halfway.
1239
00:58:04,640 --> 00:58:05,260
- Halfway?
1240
00:58:05,260 --> 00:58:07,380
- When we get to Albuquerque, we'll be halfway.
1241
00:58:07,380 --> 00:58:08,520
- I'll see you guys outside
1242
00:58:08,520 --> 00:58:10,820
with a little stash of bananas for you.
1243
00:58:10,820 --> 00:58:11,880
- We'll happily accept those.
1244
00:58:11,880 --> 00:58:13,340
- Okay, I'll see you guys outside.
1245
00:58:13,340 --> 00:58:14,160
- Pleasure meeting you.
1246
00:58:14,160 --> 00:58:14,720
- Okay, nice meeting you guys.
1247
00:58:15,120 --> 00:58:15,780
- Thanks so much.
1248
00:58:15,780 --> 00:58:17,620
- Just quickly, before you take off as well,
1249
00:58:17,620 --> 00:58:19,420
are you happy to be on camera?
1250
00:58:19,420 --> 00:58:22,560
- Yeah, I have a YouTube channel, Hello Rodney.
1251
00:58:22,560 --> 00:58:23,660
- Hello Rodney?
1252
00:58:23,660 --> 00:58:24,980
- Hello Rodney's my YouTube channel.
1253
00:58:25,160 --> 00:58:27,160
I'm doin' a video of you guys too,
1254
00:58:27,160 --> 00:58:29,420
so, yeah it's alright.
1255
00:58:29,420 --> 00:58:30,120
These are the guys,
1256
00:58:30,120 --> 00:58:34,580
this is the Bikes of Wrath crew, right here.
1257
00:58:34,580 --> 00:58:36,080
- We're just ridin' hard
1258
00:58:36,080 --> 00:58:37,820
for 32 days, hoping we get there.
1259
00:58:37,820 --> 00:58:38,580
- That's good, man.
1260
00:58:38,580 --> 00:58:41,380
I'm very happy that you guys are out doing this.
1261
00:58:41,380 --> 00:58:43,040
It makes me feel really good to see you guys.
1262
00:58:43,040 --> 00:58:43,580
- Thanks.
1263
00:58:43,580 --> 00:58:45,200
- Alright, well I tell you what, man, thanks a lot.
1264
00:58:45,500 --> 00:58:46,920
I'm Hello Rodney, thanks for watching,
1265
00:58:46,920 --> 00:58:50,640
and these are the Bikes of Wrath.
1266
00:58:50,640 --> 00:58:51,500
See you later.
1267
00:58:53,440 --> 00:58:56,860
Okay, well this is probably one of my best videos
1268
00:58:56,860 --> 00:59:01,160
that I've ever done as far as, talking to people,
1269
00:59:01,160 --> 00:59:03,360
stuff like that. These guys were so cool.
1270
00:59:06,720 --> 00:59:07,660
- Thank you so much.
1271
00:59:07,660 --> 00:59:09,420
- Of course. No, I'm so happy to help.
1272
00:59:09,420 --> 00:59:12,120
- It's not "of course" though, it's super generous of you.
1273
00:59:51,280 --> 00:59:53,820
- America's the best place in the world to live.
1274
00:59:53,820 --> 00:59:55,240
- America's the best place in the world--?
1275
00:59:55,240 --> 00:59:56,600
- Best place in the world to live, right
1276
00:59:56,600 --> 00:59:57,520
- Why is it the best place in the world to live?
1277
00:59:57,840 --> 00:59:59,900
- Cause you got some basic human rights,
1278
00:59:59,900 --> 01:00:01,320
you know what I mean?
1279
01:00:01,320 --> 01:00:02,880
They got their assholes up there
1280
01:00:02,880 --> 01:00:04,480
in the government that're fuckin' things up.
1281
01:00:04,780 --> 01:00:06,900
- What makes America great, in my opinion,
1282
01:00:06,900 --> 01:00:10,200
is whether we have a President Obama, a Bush,
1283
01:00:10,480 --> 01:00:13,180
a Clinton, or a Donald Trump,
1284
01:00:13,180 --> 01:00:15,280
America's bigger than just one person,
1285
01:00:15,280 --> 01:00:17,480
it's bigger than just one President.
1286
01:00:17,480 --> 01:00:21,460
- The less wealth you have, the harder it is to advance
1287
01:00:21,460 --> 01:00:25,280
and to become what you know, as a person,
1288
01:00:25,280 --> 01:00:26,420
you're capable of becoming.
1289
01:00:26,420 --> 01:00:27,720
- But bottom line is,
1290
01:00:27,720 --> 01:00:30,080
you still got some human rights out here.
1291
01:00:30,080 --> 01:00:32,660
- Do you think they're being crumbled away or...?
1292
01:00:32,660 --> 01:00:35,400
- Well, little by little, the bull shit government, man.
1293
01:00:36,140 --> 01:00:38,000
You know what I mean, they're worried about too much
1294
01:00:38,000 --> 01:00:40,020
over seas and shit, fuck all that.
1295
01:00:40,900 --> 01:00:44,320
You got people over here dying, ain't got no homes and shit.
1296
01:00:44,620 --> 01:00:48,320
- I do believe that Americans are generous people
1297
01:00:48,320 --> 01:00:50,300
and they're accepting people.
1298
01:00:50,300 --> 01:00:53,560
I think America does a good job.
1299
01:00:54,360 --> 01:00:57,340
I think our social systems is not perfect,
1300
01:00:57,340 --> 01:00:59,180
but I think they do a pretty good job
1301
01:00:59,180 --> 01:01:01,660
of helping the poor and needy.
1302
01:01:01,660 --> 01:01:03,980
- The wealth gap is very much still real.
1303
01:01:03,980 --> 01:01:06,700
It's real in ways of health care
1304
01:01:06,700 --> 01:01:10,820
and career development and social advancement.
1305
01:01:10,820 --> 01:01:13,180
- And I think that's the beautiful thing about
1306
01:01:13,180 --> 01:01:16,640
whether he's a Republican or she's a Democrat,
1307
01:01:16,640 --> 01:01:19,920
our neighbors, it's all being together
1308
01:01:19,920 --> 01:01:23,080
and working together for the common good of man
1309
01:01:23,080 --> 01:01:25,460
and I think that's what makes America great.
1310
01:01:35,180 --> 01:01:38,840
- I just walk, man. I don't belong nowhere, man.
1311
01:01:40,640 --> 01:01:42,100
- Where are you walking to?
1312
01:01:42,640 --> 01:01:43,960
-I was gonna walk to Seattle,
1313
01:01:43,960 --> 01:01:46,080
but I'm just tryin' to outrun my voices, man.
1314
01:01:47,900 --> 01:01:50,540
The voices in my head, they tear me up.
1315
01:01:50,540 --> 01:01:52,780
I haven't had nothin' to eat in three days
1316
01:01:53,960 --> 01:01:56,580
and I'm afraid to ask people because I feel ostracized.
1317
01:01:58,380 --> 01:01:59,960
- We've got some tins of food.
1318
01:02:00,560 --> 01:02:01,840
- You wanna have lunch with us?
1319
01:02:02,780 --> 01:02:04,340
- Aw, you don't have to do that, man.
1320
01:02:04,340 --> 01:02:04,840
- No, of course.
1321
01:02:05,420 --> 01:02:06,760
- Thank you for the water.
- We got plenty to go around.
1322
01:02:06,760 --> 01:02:07,680
What's your name?
1323
01:02:07,680 --> 01:02:08,720
- My name's Joe.
1324
01:02:08,720 --> 01:02:12,160
- Joe? I'm Cameron, Joe.
1325
01:02:12,160 --> 01:02:13,360
- Hey, nice to meet you.
1326
01:02:13,360 --> 01:02:14,620
- Nice to meet you too.
1327
01:02:15,160 --> 01:02:16,740
- Can you head back to Roswell?
1328
01:02:17,440 --> 01:02:19,000
- What for? There ain't nothin' there,
1329
01:02:19,520 --> 01:02:21,760
I'd do the same thing here, I'd be on the streets.
1330
01:02:22,480 --> 01:02:23,960
I ain't got nowhere to go.
1331
01:02:27,220 --> 01:02:28,080
Sorry.
1332
01:02:28,100 --> 01:02:28,900
- You're alright, man.
1333
01:02:28,900 --> 01:02:32,500
- I just haven't had anything in for me in days, days.
1334
01:02:32,940 --> 01:02:34,200
- Where'd you sleep last night?
1335
01:02:36,340 --> 01:02:39,120
- There's a river over there, I slept underneath the bridge.
1336
01:02:40,500 --> 01:02:42,720
- It's 56 miles to the next town.
1337
01:02:42,720 --> 01:02:44,260
I don't think you can get there today...
1338
01:02:46,840 --> 01:02:48,920
Back here, the Petrol Station...
1339
01:02:49,440 --> 01:02:51,460
- I was there yesterday and they asked me to leave.
1340
01:02:52,740 --> 01:02:54,920
They don't want homeless people there.
1341
01:02:57,280 --> 01:02:59,920
It's schizophrenia, man, there ain't no fixin' it.
1342
01:03:02,000 --> 01:03:05,360
I don't know what to do, I just keep on walkin', man.
1343
01:03:06,180 --> 01:03:08,440
- Let us help you. We can take you down there...
1344
01:03:08,440 --> 01:03:09,580
- We can find some people.
1345
01:03:09,580 --> 01:03:12,440
Right now, we can see a place where there's food and water,
1346
01:03:12,440 --> 01:03:14,720
safety shelter, some shade,
1347
01:03:15,580 --> 01:03:17,140
it's gonna get hotter today.
1348
01:03:17,640 --> 01:03:18,980
We've gotta get you back there, mate.
1349
01:03:18,980 --> 01:03:20,820
I know you don't wanna do it but we've gotta do it,
1350
01:03:20,820 --> 01:03:21,960
that's what we gotta do.
1351
01:03:26,140 --> 01:03:29,400
- What do ya say?
- Give it a shot?
1352
01:03:36,500 --> 01:03:38,280
What if I call an ambulance of something?
1353
01:03:38,680 --> 01:03:40,140
- We don't know where we are.
1354
01:03:40,140 --> 01:03:41,720
- How much does an ambulance cost?
1355
01:03:41,720 --> 01:03:43,360
He's not going to be able to cover it, I don't think.
1356
01:03:46,280 --> 01:03:48,040
I don't know what they do in those cases.
1357
01:03:48,040 --> 01:03:49,540
Such a... that that's a cost they have to consider...
1358
01:03:49,540 --> 01:03:50,540
- Please don't call.
1359
01:03:51,540 --> 01:03:53,040
They'll put me in a mental asylum.
1360
01:03:53,740 --> 01:03:56,880
I don't wanna go, I don't wanna lose my freedom!
1361
01:03:58,700 --> 01:03:59,920
I don't wanna lose my freedom.
1362
01:03:59,920 --> 01:04:03,100
I didn't call. I hung up. It's all good.
1363
01:04:04,080 --> 01:04:05,880
I don't wanna lose my freedom.
1364
01:04:06,600 --> 01:04:08,520
That's why... don't call.
1365
01:04:11,160 --> 01:04:13,120
- Let's get away from the highway, hey?
1366
01:04:13,780 --> 01:04:19,460
Look, I'm already prepared to die.
1367
01:04:21,440 --> 01:04:24,300
Say 100 thousand people, right there,
1368
01:04:24,300 --> 01:04:25,680
just talking trash about you,
1369
01:04:27,000 --> 01:04:29,820
gathered around you, and they're sayin',
1370
01:04:29,820 --> 01:04:32,340
"We don't want you here. We don't need you here.
1371
01:04:32,340 --> 01:04:34,920
"We don't like you're kind here."
1372
01:04:36,900 --> 01:04:38,480
I can't deal with it no more.
1373
01:04:39,060 --> 01:04:40,760
So I started on this death march.
1374
01:04:45,660 --> 01:04:48,580
I knew what I was doing when I took no water, no food.
1375
01:04:54,880 --> 01:04:56,500
- Joe, when we go down there,
1376
01:04:56,500 --> 01:04:58,980
we're gonna get some help for you as well, okay.
1377
01:04:59,880 --> 01:05:00,780
Do you understand that?
1378
01:05:01,100 --> 01:05:04,160
- I'm sayin' man that I believe that people are after me.
1379
01:05:04,160 --> 01:05:06,080
- Well I have to go get some water now, Joe,
1380
01:05:06,080 --> 01:05:09,700
so I'll be back in a moment, but we're gonna get some help
1381
01:05:09,700 --> 01:05:10,900
for you, do you understand that?
1382
01:05:10,900 --> 01:05:12,320
Are you happy for that to happen?
1383
01:05:19,040 --> 01:05:20,080
- I found it quite hard,
1384
01:05:20,080 --> 01:05:22,420
that day we met Joe on the side of the highway,
1385
01:05:22,420 --> 01:05:24,760
I think that really hit home with me.
1386
01:05:24,760 --> 01:05:26,620
People falling through the cracks
1387
01:05:26,620 --> 01:05:30,320
and what a horrible feeling that would be, to be
1388
01:05:30,320 --> 01:05:33,480
that alone and feel like you've got no one to talk to.
1389
01:05:35,820 --> 01:05:36,660
- Where ya' from?
1390
01:05:36,660 --> 01:05:39,240
- Australia. I can give you my address if that helps?
1391
01:05:39,240 --> 01:05:40,760
- Well we can try.
1392
01:05:41,000 --> 01:05:43,000
- I think the Police did an excellent job
1393
01:05:43,000 --> 01:05:44,500
and it was resolved really well, but,
1394
01:05:44,500 --> 01:05:46,700
it still just kind of reminded me
1395
01:05:46,700 --> 01:05:49,920
that there are probably millions of people in America,
1396
01:05:49,920 --> 01:05:53,160
in that situation or a similar one.
1397
01:05:56,160 --> 01:05:58,940
- There is a crime here that goes beyond annunciation.
1398
01:05:59,540 --> 01:06:02,260
There is a sorrow here that weeping can not symbolize.
1399
01:06:03,100 --> 01:06:05,980
There is a failure here that topples all of our success.
1400
01:06:08,420 --> 01:06:11,940
Our people are good people, our people are kind people.
1401
01:06:12,840 --> 01:06:16,560
Pray God, someday kind people won't all be poor.
1402
01:07:37,960 --> 01:07:40,300
- On the rear tire, always on the rear tire.
1403
01:07:42,900 --> 01:07:45,100
- I think it might be time for that rear tire to...
1404
01:07:46,020 --> 01:07:46,520
...retire.
1405
01:07:54,620 --> 01:07:56,980
- Classic Ollie, I mean put your hands up, who's with him?
1406
01:07:57,660 --> 01:07:58,600
Is he right?
1407
01:07:59,360 --> 01:08:00,480
- He's not wrong.
1408
01:08:14,720 --> 01:08:16,920
- Do you think America, 80 years on,
1409
01:08:16,920 --> 01:08:19,240
is any better at showing empathy
1410
01:08:19,240 --> 01:08:21,680
for these poor desperate people?
1411
01:08:21,680 --> 01:08:27,000
- I think that there are a lot of people who show empathy.
1412
01:08:27,000 --> 01:08:30,580
- Just depends, some are not and some are.
1413
01:08:30,580 --> 01:08:31,880
- Absolutely.
1414
01:08:31,880 --> 01:08:33,040
- No, I don't.
1415
01:08:33,040 --> 01:08:35,200
- Better, not better take care of our people.
1416
01:08:35,620 --> 01:08:39,080
- Oh, it'd be hard to say.
1417
01:08:39,080 --> 01:08:41,780
There is some inequality, really there is,
1418
01:08:41,780 --> 01:08:43,300
but not like that.
1419
01:08:43,300 --> 01:08:46,000
- By and large in America, no.
1420
01:08:46,440 --> 01:08:48,000
- I feel like when you're in a depression
1421
01:08:48,000 --> 01:08:49,780
and whenever things are bad
1422
01:08:49,780 --> 01:08:52,340
and you don't have money like you used to,
1423
01:08:52,340 --> 01:08:54,240
or something happens, you have to turn
1424
01:08:54,240 --> 01:08:55,640
and you have to blame somebody else.
1425
01:08:55,840 --> 01:08:57,900
- We're all trying to pull away from each other.
1426
01:08:57,900 --> 01:09:00,340
Instead of being Americans, we're Anglo-Americans,
1427
01:09:00,340 --> 01:09:03,120
Afro-American, Mexican-American, Puerto Rican-American,
1428
01:09:03,120 --> 01:09:04,420
instead of just being American.
1429
01:09:04,420 --> 01:09:05,960
- In America, a specific group
1430
01:09:05,960 --> 01:09:07,460
of people did a really good job
1431
01:09:07,460 --> 01:09:10,980
of putting the blame on scapegoating immigrants.
1432
01:09:10,980 --> 01:09:14,100
- Immigrants are still treated like aliens,
1433
01:09:14,520 --> 01:09:17,080
they're treated like something that's not human.
1434
01:09:17,120 --> 01:09:20,740
- It's not America, because a lot
1435
01:09:20,740 --> 01:09:22,020
of Americans are very patriotic,
1436
01:09:22,020 --> 01:09:24,620
it can never be America, it's the others.
1437
01:09:24,780 --> 01:09:26,700
- Let Africa take care of them son of bitches
1438
01:09:26,700 --> 01:09:28,600
and we'll take care of ours over here.
1439
01:09:29,580 --> 01:09:32,040
And keep your nose out of other country's business, eh.
1440
01:09:32,040 --> 01:09:35,200
- Some welcome immigrants from Mexico, from Canada,
1441
01:09:35,200 --> 01:09:36,420
from other parts of the world,
1442
01:09:36,420 --> 01:09:39,140
and then some are just like, build that wall, keep em' out.
1443
01:09:39,140 --> 01:09:42,120
- The younger generations are seeing that that's not true
1444
01:09:42,120 --> 01:09:45,060
and we're more inclusive and we're more helpful
1445
01:09:45,900 --> 01:09:48,060
and we want everyone to have dignity.
1446
01:09:48,060 --> 01:09:49,400
- To be treated like you're not welcome
1447
01:09:49,400 --> 01:09:50,860
when you're just trying to make your life
1448
01:09:50,860 --> 01:09:54,020
what you want it to be, what you feel it could be,
1449
01:09:54,020 --> 01:09:59,140
is ridiculous, it's unfortunate and it's really absurd.
1450
01:09:59,140 --> 01:10:01,200
- We just need to come together as a nation.
1451
01:10:01,200 --> 01:10:03,900
There's a multiple of reasons why we're pulling apart,
1452
01:10:03,900 --> 01:10:05,360
but if we don't come back together,
1453
01:10:05,360 --> 01:10:07,240
it's gonna be just like the '60s again,
1454
01:10:07,240 --> 01:10:10,340
when people were rioting in the streets.
1455
01:10:10,340 --> 01:10:13,020
People were dying all the time, we don't want that.
1456
01:10:13,020 --> 01:10:14,400
We want to get away from that.
1457
01:10:14,400 --> 01:10:18,160
We want to be one country, whether it's this president,
1458
01:10:18,160 --> 01:10:19,840
or the next president, or the one after,
1459
01:10:19,840 --> 01:10:21,760
something's gotta change where we all come together.
1460
01:10:31,440 --> 01:10:34,200
- On the right, on the right, thanks mate.
1461
01:11:43,480 --> 01:11:45,360
- If you're travelin' from out of the country,
1462
01:11:45,360 --> 01:11:47,140
I make you feel welcome, if you'd like.
1463
01:11:47,140 --> 01:11:48,460
- Wow, that would be amazing.
1464
01:11:48,460 --> 01:11:50,280
- Sure, the blessing falls on the house.
1465
01:11:50,540 --> 01:11:53,320
Come on in, these here folks, they believe in Jesus
1466
01:11:53,480 --> 01:11:55,840
and it's okay, everything's good here.
1467
01:11:55,840 --> 01:11:56,820
- Lovely town.
1468
01:11:56,820 --> 01:11:59,340
- Yeah, it's a quiet little town.
1469
01:12:00,800 --> 01:12:02,460
You're touring in the right area.
1470
01:12:04,020 --> 01:12:05,340
We've been playin' music here all day
1471
01:12:05,340 --> 01:12:06,240
and they had some eats.
1472
01:12:06,240 --> 01:12:08,220
This lady over here is Melinda, the big lady,
1473
01:12:08,220 --> 01:12:10,900
and when you're ready to go, just follow me home
1474
01:12:10,900 --> 01:12:12,880
and I'll fix ya' up a nice place, so you can sit still.
1475
01:12:12,880 --> 01:12:13,860
- Fantastic.
1476
01:12:13,860 --> 01:12:16,520
- Hello, how you doin'?
1477
01:12:16,900 --> 01:12:18,260
Thank you for welcoming us.
1478
01:12:18,260 --> 01:12:19,020
- Yay, welcome!
1479
01:12:21,080 --> 01:12:22,120
- This is awesome.
1480
01:12:22,380 --> 01:12:23,740
- Well my dad actually,
1481
01:12:23,740 --> 01:12:27,400
actually came down route 66 during the depression
1482
01:12:27,400 --> 01:12:30,440
and when he got to California,
1483
01:12:30,440 --> 01:12:31,860
they wouldn't let him just go to work,
1484
01:12:31,860 --> 01:12:33,060
they put him in a Okie camp,
1485
01:12:33,060 --> 01:12:37,320
and my mother was a spinster recreational director,
1486
01:12:37,320 --> 01:12:39,200
she would go to these camps and create music
1487
01:12:39,200 --> 01:12:44,300
and little plays and kinda help entertain the Okies
1488
01:12:44,300 --> 01:12:46,820
and so, her and my dad got together
1489
01:12:46,820 --> 01:12:48,760
and then, hello, that's me.
1490
01:12:50,640 --> 01:12:51,180
- Food?
1491
01:12:52,080 --> 01:12:53,360
- Thank you so much.
1492
01:12:53,360 --> 01:12:54,660
- Amazing, of course.
1493
01:12:56,640 --> 01:12:58,200
- Five, you got enough, yeah.
1494
01:12:59,400 --> 01:13:00,640
- Yeah, it's great.
1495
01:13:02,540 --> 01:13:04,680
- Those melons, their kinda gettin' ripe,
1496
01:13:04,680 --> 01:13:06,940
so if you want any of those melons,
1497
01:13:06,940 --> 01:13:07,840
you can have those too.
1498
01:13:07,840 --> 01:13:09,280
- Really? You're not gonna use them?
1499
01:13:09,560 --> 01:13:14,980
- No, no, we just put food out for people who wanna eat it.
1500
01:13:15,680 --> 01:13:16,740
- Thank you for stopping in.
1501
01:13:16,740 --> 01:13:18,120
- Wow, thank you for having us.
1502
01:13:21,500 --> 01:13:22,520
Buckskin Dan.
1503
01:13:22,840 --> 01:13:24,600
- Dan is the type of guy that should live in the middle
1504
01:13:24,600 --> 01:13:26,920
of Australia somewhere and only occasionally,
1505
01:13:26,920 --> 01:13:28,320
people will go by and see him.
1506
01:13:28,320 --> 01:13:29,840
- His property, when we got there...
1507
01:13:30,220 --> 01:13:31,560
- There's so many trees there,
1508
01:13:31,560 --> 01:13:34,360
I grew a forest, it took 20 years to grow a bunch of trees.
1509
01:13:34,680 --> 01:13:36,300
So when there's folks like you come in,
1510
01:13:36,300 --> 01:13:38,380
there is a place to kinda lay low
1511
01:13:38,380 --> 01:13:40,240
Let me see if I can find the right key here.
1512
01:13:46,980 --> 01:13:49,940
There, watch yourself,
1513
01:13:49,940 --> 01:13:52,220
we're almost our own sheriff out here.
1514
01:13:52,400 --> 01:13:53,000
- Is that right?
1515
01:13:53,000 --> 01:13:55,000
- I gotta unload the guns from the truck now,
1516
01:13:55,500 --> 01:13:56,700
put em' in the house.
1517
01:13:56,880 --> 01:13:57,940
That's a sight!
1518
01:13:58,340 --> 01:13:59,440
- This is quite a place.
1519
01:14:00,620 --> 01:14:02,820
- He's got a barbed wire fences up,
1520
01:14:03,000 --> 01:14:07,480
not to keep out animals, but to keep the government out.
1521
01:14:07,600 --> 01:14:12,140
Now if you wait right here, I'll get ya' in the back
1522
01:14:12,140 --> 01:14:13,420
of this wagon, right here.
1523
01:14:13,420 --> 01:14:14,280
- Whoa, wow!
1524
01:14:14,560 --> 01:14:15,980
- And there's a mattress here.
1525
01:14:16,140 --> 01:14:16,640
- Wow.
1526
01:14:17,560 --> 01:14:20,420
- He parks all these old carriages
1527
01:14:20,420 --> 01:14:22,680
and wagons and cars in front of his house,
1528
01:14:23,760 --> 01:14:26,700
so the government couldn't put a rifle over his fence
1529
01:14:26,700 --> 01:14:27,840
and shoot into his cabin.
1530
01:14:28,920 --> 01:14:30,340
- One of you wanna climb up here
1531
01:14:30,340 --> 01:14:31,200
and plug this in.
1532
01:14:34,240 --> 01:14:34,740
There you go.
1533
01:14:36,640 --> 01:14:38,160
Watch yourself!
- Wow
1534
01:14:38,480 --> 01:14:39,920
- It's easy to get hurt, you're in pioneer area.
1535
01:14:42,380 --> 01:14:43,220
- You okay?
1536
01:14:44,440 --> 01:14:47,460
- Watch what you're doin', you can get hurt doin' this.
1537
01:14:47,460 --> 01:14:50,460
You just gotta really kinda think things through.
1538
01:14:50,460 --> 01:14:53,280
If you get this far out, even where we live here,
1539
01:14:53,280 --> 01:14:56,680
you're in a Western area and it's pioneer,
1540
01:14:56,680 --> 01:15:00,120
so just a little mistake like pettin' a snake,
1541
01:15:01,420 --> 01:15:04,960
doin' the wrong thing, pickin' up a crow feather
1542
01:15:04,960 --> 01:15:07,260
that's got bubonic plague on it.
1543
01:15:07,540 --> 01:15:08,980
You gotta watch what you're doin'.
1544
01:15:09,980 --> 01:15:11,380
Just be careful,
1545
01:15:11,380 --> 01:15:13,320
and be happy and be glad.
1546
01:15:13,320 --> 01:15:14,200
- Thank you so much.
1547
01:15:26,640 --> 01:15:28,580
Three hours of sleep is not enough.
1548
01:15:28,800 --> 01:15:30,220
No sir, it's not.
1549
01:15:31,820 --> 01:15:33,820
- Out here people stick up for each other.
1550
01:15:33,820 --> 01:15:36,680
We don't get run over by the federal government
1551
01:15:36,680 --> 01:15:38,260
and their weirdened ways.
1552
01:15:38,260 --> 01:15:40,200
When you're American, you think for yourself.
1553
01:15:40,500 --> 01:15:42,060
If you don't believe in what they're doin',
1554
01:15:42,060 --> 01:15:43,280
you don't participate.
1555
01:15:43,500 --> 01:15:45,920
You don't fight with them cause everybody else voted
1556
01:15:45,920 --> 01:15:48,400
for em', but you don't go there
1557
01:15:48,400 --> 01:15:50,020
and have bad words about em'
1558
01:15:50,020 --> 01:15:51,620
and share that with other people.
1559
01:15:51,620 --> 01:15:53,200
You can at your own home.

01:16:14,480 --> 01:16:15,940

1570
01:16:15,940 --> 01:16:17,760
but hey, it's open range.
1571
01:16:19,360 --> 01:16:21,880
When I was a little boy on my Daddy's knee
[singing]
1572
01:16:21,880 --> 01:16:23,840
He said, my son what you wanna be
[singing]
1573
01:16:23,840 --> 01:16:25,020
When you're all grown up
[singing]

01:16:25,020 --> 01:16:26,200
Well I jumped right down,
[singing]
1575
01:16:26,200 --> 01:16:28,920
I said, I wanna be a rodeo clown
[singing]

01:16:29,600 --> 01:16:32,020
Cause they're a horn tease 'n hookey
[singing]
1577
01:16:32,020 --> 01:16:33,520
Tail grabbin' looketies
[singing]
1578
01:16:33,520 --> 01:16:35,140
A bull fightin' rodeo clown
[singing]
1579
01:16:35,520 --> 01:16:37,240
Cowboys, britches, in the ditches
[singing]
1580
01:16:37,240 --> 01:16:38,560
Pull em' out for the misses
[singing]
1581
01:16:38,560 --> 01:16:39,920
Life savin' rodeo clown
[singing]
1582
01:16:40,940 --> 01:16:43,440

1583
01:16:43,440 --> 01:16:45,180
Life savin' rodeo clown

Bull fightin', life savin', rodeo
[singing]
1587
01:16:53,400 --> 01:16:55,620
I wanna be a rodeo clown
[singing]
1588
01:16:57,260 --> 01:16:59,500
My momma was trouble and my daddy was sad
[singing]
1589
01:16:59,500 --> 01:17:01,680
They wanted more for their little lad
[singing]
1590
01:17:01,680 --> 01:17:04,300
Than hoofs and hides and the wanderin' life
[singing]
1591
01:17:04,300 --> 01:17:06,460
Lived by a rodeo clown
[singing]
1592
01:17:06,460 --> 01:17:08,160
So I married a pretty girl
[singing]
1593
01:17:08,160 --> 01:17:09,340
She gave me a son
[singing]
1594
01:17:09,340 --> 01:17:11,860
It was the greatest thing I'd ever done
[singing]
1595
01:17:11,860 --> 01:17:14,200
I put him on my knee, I says what you wanna be

01:17:14,200 --> 01:17:16,260
He says I wanna be a rodeo clown
[singing]
1597
01:17:16,260 --> 01:17:18,380
So I moved into the country
[singing]
1598
01:17:18,380 --> 01:17:19,500
He became a buckaroo
[singing]
1599
01:17:19,500 --> 01:17:21,840
A ropin' and a brandin', and a ridin' Broncos too
[singing]
1600
01:17:21,840 --> 01:17:24,260
He rode those Broncos to the world's greatest show

01:17:24,260 --> 01:17:26,080

Peaceful. Y'all the new hippies to me. I'm sorry like.

01:18:29,280 --> 01:18:31,300
I'm like, I do this cause I got to.
1629
01:18:31,960 --> 01:18:33,880
Bikes of Wrath, y'all, Bikes of Wrath,

01:18:33,880 --> 01:18:35,280

1631
01:18:35,280 --> 01:18:37,240
They campin' on bikes with solar panels on the back.
1632
01:18:38,460 --> 01:18:40,140
- Where you guys travelin' from, man?
1633
01:18:40,140 --> 01:18:40,940

1634
01:18:40,940 --> 01:18:41,660
-Bakersfield?

01:18:41,660 --> 01:18:43,660
-Look at 'em! There's solar panels on the back of 'em
1636
01:18:44,020 --> 01:18:46,700
- You're almost there, take that 58, bam!
1637
01:18:46,700 --> 01:18:48,700
[laughing]
1638
01:18:49,320 --> 01:18:50,500
- Just like that?!
1639
01:18:50,540 --> 01:18:51,940

1640
01:18:52,120 --> 01:18:53,200

01:18:53,200 --> 01:18:54,660

1643
01:18:56,660 --> 01:18:57,160
- Peace out.
1644
01:19:22,200 --> 01:19:24,140
- The woman's just asked us to move,
1645
01:19:24,680 --> 01:19:26,560
the women that runs the Pilot Truck Stop.
1646
01:19:28,960 --> 01:19:30,920
It's like five minutes to 11,
1647
01:19:31,420 --> 01:19:33,380
we've all been aleep for about 10 minutes.
1648
01:19:34,040 --> 01:19:35,500
So now we gotta pack up all the stuff,
1649
01:19:35,980 --> 01:19:39,700
move all the bikes, it's gonna take at least another hour
1650
01:19:39,700 --> 01:19:41,840
to re-locate, and then bunker down again
1651
01:19:41,840 --> 01:19:44,800
and we gotta be up at 4:30 tomorrow morning,
1652
01:19:44,800 --> 01:19:47,100
so this is absolutely gonna screw us.
1653
01:19:47,100 --> 01:19:49,520
Anywhere, we're under the lights, we don't care,
1654
01:19:49,520 --> 01:19:51,600
we'll sleep fuckin' anywhere.
1655
01:19:54,340 --> 01:19:55,760
So exhausted.
1656
01:20:00,120 --> 01:20:01,880
I don't know where else we can go,
1657
01:20:01,880 --> 01:20:03,760
We've just got to move our shit.
1658
01:20:24,540 --> 01:20:27,440
- Says one time, he went out into the wilderness
1659
01:20:27,440 --> 01:20:29,880
to find his own soul and he found,
1660
01:20:29,880 --> 01:20:32,280
he didn't have no soul that was his.
1661
01:20:32,920 --> 01:20:35,100
Says he found he just got a little piece
1662
01:20:35,100 --> 01:20:36,200
of a great big soul.
1663
01:20:36,980 --> 01:20:38,820
Says the wilderness ain't no good,
1664
01:20:38,820 --> 01:20:41,860
cause his little piece of a soul wasn't no good,
1665
01:20:41,860 --> 01:20:44,500
unless it was with the rest and was whole.
1666
01:20:56,080 --> 01:20:57,820
- I knew the chances were small,
1667
01:20:57,820 --> 01:20:59,100
but it'd be kinda cool, just
1668
01:20:59,100 --> 01:21:00,980
to see you guys on the way back,
1669
01:21:01,700 --> 01:21:02,800
cause you're like what, three
1670
01:21:02,800 --> 01:21:04,360
or four days away from ending your trip?
1671
01:21:04,360 --> 01:21:05,500
- Yeah.
1672
01:21:05,500 --> 01:21:07,860
- This is day, isn't it day 25 today?
1673
01:21:07,860 --> 01:21:09,980
- Yeah, it seems like you've done
1674
01:21:09,980 --> 01:21:11,180
so much since we've seen you.
1675
01:21:11,660 --> 01:21:13,040
You've been all over the country.
1676
01:21:13,040 --> 01:21:14,280
- Yeah, all over, huh.
1677
01:21:14,280 --> 01:21:16,260
- So we moved out here behind all the trucks
1678
01:21:16,260 --> 01:21:17,940
and just as we were going to sleep,
1679
01:21:17,940 --> 01:21:20,740
we saw this big group of people walking over to us,
1680
01:21:20,740 --> 01:21:22,060
it was kind of scary.
1681
01:21:22,660 --> 01:21:25,080
- It turns out, it was this family we met on,
1682
01:21:25,080 --> 01:21:27,500
I think day five in Oklahoma.
1683
01:21:27,680 --> 01:21:29,820
- Tell you what, I like to contribute 100 bucks
1684
01:21:29,820 --> 01:21:31,040
to what you're all doing.
1685
01:21:32,240 --> 01:21:34,240
Absolutely, I've been to Perth and Sydney.
1686
01:21:34,240 --> 01:21:35,900
- David and the little one were praying
1687
01:21:35,900 --> 01:21:38,000
that we would run into you guys.
1688
01:21:38,000 --> 01:21:40,300
- Yeah, and I though, man it'd just be so cool,
1689
01:21:40,300 --> 01:21:41,540
and then we were getting gas
1690
01:21:41,540 --> 01:21:43,780
and I went in and talked to the lady behind the register,
1691
01:21:43,780 --> 01:21:46,540
I said, "Hey, have you heard of the Bikes of Wrath?"
1692
01:21:46,540 --> 01:21:47,620
and she said, "No."
1693
01:21:47,620 --> 01:21:49,600
And I said, "Well it's five guys from Australia,
1694
01:21:49,600 --> 01:21:52,580
"flew in, they're biking across from Oklahoma."
1695
01:21:52,840 --> 01:21:54,780
They thought you guys were crazy, they're like,
1696
01:21:54,780 --> 01:21:57,220
"On bicycles?" I said, "Yeah, on bicycles,"
1697
01:21:57,220 --> 01:21:59,500
and I said, "I think they're somewhere around here,"
1698
01:21:59,500 --> 01:22:02,440
and she goes, "Well they're actually behind here,
1699
01:22:02,440 --> 01:22:03,900
"behind the parking lot."
1700
01:22:03,900 --> 01:22:04,820
- Aww, that's so nice.
1701
01:22:04,960 --> 01:22:06,440
- Well hey man, we'll let you guys get some rest
1702
01:22:06,440 --> 01:22:09,120
cause we know you got a huge long day, hot day tomorrow.
1703
01:22:09,120 --> 01:22:09,800
Well, hey--
1704
01:22:09,800 --> 01:22:11,520
- No, no, no, no, no...
1705
01:22:13,400 --> 01:22:15,180
- That's why I wanted to find you guys,
1706
01:22:15,180 --> 01:22:16,200
we wanna be a part of this,
1707
01:22:16,200 --> 01:22:17,300
just like a lot of people across the country.
1708
01:22:17,300 --> 01:22:18,800
- You already are a part of it
1709
01:22:18,800 --> 01:22:20,400
- I know, but listen, a lot
1710
01:22:20,400 --> 01:22:22,100
of people across the country's been a part of it
1711
01:22:22,100 --> 01:22:25,200
and I wanna give another hundred.
1712
01:22:26,340 --> 01:22:28,140
That's why I wanted to find you guys,
1713
01:22:28,140 --> 01:22:30,200
is to be a part of the last part of your trip.
1714
01:22:30,200 --> 01:22:31,960
- Really, really helped us out.
1715
01:22:32,640 --> 01:22:35,440
We were really struggling at that moment.
1716
01:22:35,440 --> 01:22:36,740
- It was a lot more than the money,
1717
01:22:36,740 --> 01:22:38,700
it was the fact that this family from Oklahoma,
1718
01:22:38,700 --> 01:22:39,980
they met us on day five.
1719
01:22:40,440 --> 01:22:43,160
They were just so positive and so enthusiastic about
1720
01:22:43,160 --> 01:22:45,380
what we were doing, that they would go out
1721
01:22:45,380 --> 01:22:47,980
of their way at midnight to find us at the back
1722
01:22:47,980 --> 01:22:50,240
of a gravel pit of a truck stop.
1723
01:22:50,240 --> 01:22:51,720
- You look like you've lost some weight.
1724
01:22:53,400 --> 01:22:55,180
- Come say hello, wish us good luck
1725
01:22:55,180 --> 01:22:57,160
and they were just so happy for us.
1726
01:22:58,240 --> 01:22:59,640
- Thank you so much
1727
01:22:59,640 --> 01:23:00,880
- Good seein' ya.
1728
01:23:00,880 --> 01:23:05,260
- It's so awesome how you came
and met us, really special.
1729
01:23:05,280 --> 01:23:06,440
Thank you so much.
1730
01:23:06,440 --> 01:23:08,140
- This has capped off our vacation.
1731
01:23:08,140 --> 01:23:12,160
It just, it's cool, so alright guys.
1732
01:23:12,160 --> 01:23:13,640
- We'll never forget it.
1733
01:23:13,640 --> 01:23:15,220
Thanks for all your help.
1734
01:23:16,080 --> 01:23:17,880
- Hey, it's been our pleasure.
1735
01:23:18,020 --> 01:23:20,440
I mean, I'm just glad I didn't miss out on the opportunity
1736
01:23:20,440 --> 01:23:23,740
to see you guys again and it's just a small thing
1737
01:23:23,740 --> 01:23:26,840
to be a part of what you guys are doing so big.
1738
01:23:27,440 --> 01:23:28,560
- You've been a big part.
1739
01:23:28,560 --> 01:23:30,500
- Yeah, you've been a huge part.
1740
01:23:30,500 --> 01:23:32,320
Thank you so much.
1741
01:23:35,820 --> 01:23:36,920
- Nice meetin' y'all.
1742
01:23:40,000 --> 01:23:41,780
- I think that, in all honesty,
1743
01:23:41,780 --> 01:23:43,980
this was probably, that was one
1744
01:23:43,980 --> 01:23:46,680
of the most special parts of the trip so far.
1745
01:24:15,100 --> 01:24:17,620
- In 1936, we left Oklahoma.
1746
01:24:17,620 --> 01:24:21,760
We meant my parents, grandmother, three sisters, and myself.
1747
01:24:21,760 --> 01:24:24,980
Those years of drought, wind, and dust,
1748
01:24:24,980 --> 01:24:27,700
as well as low prices and no work
1749
01:24:27,700 --> 01:24:29,680
for even the most pitiful wages,
1750
01:24:29,680 --> 01:24:32,260
there was not much left to stay for.
1751
01:24:50,900 --> 01:24:52,100
- Leon's good.
1752
01:24:52,100 --> 01:24:54,260
- Ah, he hasn't had breakfast today?
1753
01:24:54,260 --> 01:24:56,700
- Ahh, he didn't want to stop for food because Leon...
1754
01:24:58,720 --> 01:24:59,860
Isn't eating.
1755
01:25:00,440 --> 01:25:02,240
- Fasting for one day.
1756
01:25:02,680 --> 01:25:05,460
- I'm curious why you're deciding to fast for one day?
1757
01:25:06,180 --> 01:25:08,680
- All these people in The Depression
1758
01:25:08,680 --> 01:25:11,920
that were making their way over here were really struggling
1759
01:25:11,920 --> 01:25:14,060
for food and nutrition and stuff.
1760
01:25:14,480 --> 01:25:16,740
- God that last bit you're holding looks just divine.
1761
01:25:17,620 --> 01:25:19,580
No no, please enjoy...
1762
01:25:22,700 --> 01:25:25,300
Put myself in those shoes and see what it feels like.
1763
01:25:26,420 --> 01:25:29,040
It's not particularly fun.
1764
01:25:43,140 --> 01:25:45,280
It's been 24 hours, how are you feeling?
1765
01:25:45,480 --> 01:25:47,040
Ready for a meal.
1766
01:25:52,580 --> 01:25:54,760
Plain oats never tasted so good.
1767
01:25:56,980 --> 01:25:58,720
Has your perspective on the book
1768
01:25:58,720 --> 01:26:00,740
and what people went through changed?
1769
01:26:01,220 --> 01:26:03,740
- Yeah, no, not changed but
1770
01:26:07,660 --> 01:26:10,460
it's easy for us because we're riding to Bakersfield
1771
01:26:10,460 --> 01:26:12,340
and when we get to Bakersfield,
1772
01:26:12,340 --> 01:26:13,220
we get to go back to our normal lives,
1773
01:26:13,220 --> 01:26:15,120
with money and comfortable beds
1774
01:26:16,940 --> 01:26:19,280
and that sort of stuff and these people
1775
01:26:19,280 --> 01:26:20,720
that were doing this, migrating,
1776
01:26:22,200 --> 01:26:24,720
they would get to Bakersfield, with no money,
1777
01:26:25,280 --> 01:26:26,440
and they have to keep living.
1778
01:26:27,120 --> 01:26:30,640
I can't imagine what it would have felt like to be a parent,
1779
01:26:31,300 --> 01:26:33,420
struggling to provide for your children
1780
01:26:33,420 --> 01:26:37,480
with the most basic of meals, so they could just survive.
1781
01:26:43,180 --> 01:26:44,900
- They were land-hungry.
1782
01:26:44,900 --> 01:26:48,320
Ill-armed hoards too, and the legions couldn't stop em'.
1783
01:26:49,120 --> 01:26:51,340
Slaughter and terror didn't stop em'.
1784
01:26:52,140 --> 01:26:53,500
How can you frighten a man
1785
01:26:53,500 --> 01:26:56,180
who's hunger's not only in his own cramped stomach,
1786
01:26:56,180 --> 01:26:58,440
but in the wretched bellies of his children.
1787
01:26:59,280 --> 01:27:00,480
You can't scare him.
1788
01:27:01,080 --> 01:27:03,420
He's known a fear beyond every other.
1789
01:27:19,840 --> 01:27:21,060
- Do you think there are any lessons,
1790
01:27:21,060 --> 01:27:22,960
and if so, what are they, to be taken
1791
01:27:22,960 --> 01:27:26,260
from the novel, but also, it's a historical event,
1792
01:27:26,260 --> 01:27:29,200
as well, or historical tragedy really, what happened.
1793
01:27:30,160 --> 01:27:32,200
Any takeaways, what would they be?
1794
01:27:32,400 --> 01:27:33,880
- Be good to your fellow man.
1795
01:27:35,000 --> 01:27:36,640
Man's in trouble, help him.
1796
01:27:36,840 --> 01:27:38,660
- If we don't learn from our mistakes,
1797
01:27:38,660 --> 01:27:39,820
we're destined to repeat 'em.
1798
01:27:39,820 --> 01:27:41,240
That's what he's tryin' to tell us,
1799
01:27:41,240 --> 01:27:42,420
we've got to keep workin' together.
1800
01:27:42,420 --> 01:27:45,740
- A good takeaway is to just maintain our humanity
1801
01:27:45,740 --> 01:27:50,040
and help each other, not to tear each other apart.
1802
01:27:50,480 --> 01:27:53,240
- It should remind all of us that we should treat each other
1803
01:27:53,240 --> 01:27:55,720
with a bit of kindness and understanding,
1804
01:27:55,720 --> 01:27:59,320
because even today, we have people that travel to America,
1805
01:27:59,320 --> 01:28:01,400
looking for a better place, and a lot of times,
1806
01:28:01,400 --> 01:28:03,400
they're ostracized and push comes to shove,
1807
01:28:03,400 --> 01:28:04,860
they helped build this country too.
1808
01:28:05,000 --> 01:28:06,740
- Some of the people that are comin' in,
1809
01:28:06,740 --> 01:28:07,900
yeah they're probably bad,
1810
01:28:07,900 --> 01:28:10,020
but there's probably more people that aren't
1811
01:28:10,020 --> 01:28:13,160
and I've known people from Afghanistan
1812
01:28:13,160 --> 01:28:14,340
that were good people.
1813
01:28:14,340 --> 01:28:15,600
- I've seen a lot of stuff
1814
01:28:15,600 --> 01:28:17,620
and I'm not seeing anything quite as bad
1815
01:28:17,620 --> 01:28:18,720
as what I'm seeing now.
1816
01:28:18,720 --> 01:28:19,840
Seems like everyone's pushing
1817
01:28:19,840 --> 01:28:21,660
and shoving each other, trying to get the bigger part.
1818
01:28:21,660 --> 01:28:23,840
Back in those days, there was no bigger part.
1819
01:28:23,840 --> 01:28:25,620
You worked and helped your neighbor,
1820
01:28:25,620 --> 01:28:27,080
your neighbor worked and helped you.
1821
01:28:27,400 --> 01:28:28,820
If you survived, they survived.
1822
01:28:28,820 --> 01:28:30,520
That's basically what we do now.
1823
01:28:30,520 --> 01:28:32,660
We have to work together or none of us will survive.
1824
01:28:32,960 --> 01:28:34,900
- I think we all should get along in this world.
1825
01:28:34,940 --> 01:28:37,620
We all have one place to live on this planet and that's it.
1826
01:28:40,300 --> 01:28:42,360
Why do we have to fight over it all the time?
1827
01:28:42,720 --> 01:28:44,400
It can be shared.
1828
01:28:44,400 --> 01:28:46,460
There's nothin' that can't be shared
1829
01:28:46,460 --> 01:28:48,400
and everybody, if they got along,
1830
01:28:49,420 --> 01:28:51,500
it'd be a lot better world.
1831
01:28:52,040 --> 01:28:55,380
I mean, it just isn't, right now.
1832
01:28:57,800 --> 01:29:01,320
Probably more or less because our leaders can't get along.
1833
01:29:01,320 --> 01:29:04,240
If they would sit down and talk to each other,
1834
01:29:04,240 --> 01:29:06,800
and actually not look at each other as enemies,
1835
01:29:07,600 --> 01:29:10,260
and just sit down and have a conversation,
1836
01:29:10,260 --> 01:29:11,740
world might be a better place.
1837
01:29:13,880 --> 01:29:15,240
Like I said, they don't.
1838
01:29:15,240 --> 01:29:17,960
They don't care what we think about it,
1839
01:29:17,960 --> 01:29:19,200
they just do it on their own,
1840
01:29:19,200 --> 01:29:21,560
and we have to suffer through it.
1841
01:29:22,120 --> 01:29:23,760
Maybe someday it'll change.
1842
01:29:24,820 --> 01:29:26,380
If it does, it'd be a better place.
1843
01:29:27,380 --> 01:29:29,120
I doubt I'll be alive to see it,
1844
01:29:29,120 --> 01:29:31,560
but I know that it could be a lot better place.
1845
01:29:40,400 --> 01:29:41,540
- Let's do this!
1846
01:29:42,760 --> 01:29:43,980
- Last day.
1847
01:29:44,940 --> 01:29:47,100
- Getting from Oklahoma to California,
1848
01:29:47,100 --> 01:29:48,720
getting from Sallisaw to Bakersfield,
1849
01:29:48,720 --> 01:29:52,020
that's the objective, but it's certainly not a failure
1850
01:29:52,020 --> 01:29:53,300
if it doesn't play out that way.
1851
01:29:53,760 --> 01:29:55,320
- It's already a success to me.
1852
01:29:55,320 --> 01:29:58,620
If we get one week in and all the wheels fall off,
1853
01:29:58,620 --> 01:30:00,360
I'm still gonna have a great time,
1854
01:30:00,360 --> 01:30:02,700
still gonna learn more about the country,
1855
01:30:02,700 --> 01:30:05,780
more about the book, have great experiences with friends,
1856
01:30:05,780 --> 01:30:07,600
it's already a success, no matter what happens,
1857
01:30:07,600 --> 01:30:11,640
but I suppose inevitably, I really wanna get to the end.
1858
01:30:12,220 --> 01:30:14,200
There may be a point where we realize
1859
01:30:14,200 --> 01:30:18,160
we're not gonna make it, but I wanna make it.
1860
01:32:33,540 --> 01:32:35,520
- All around, I'd say 90%
1861
01:32:35,520 --> 01:32:37,340
of people are just good, honest people.
1862
01:33:36,460 --> 01:33:39,940
- They called us Okies, but we survived.
1863
01:33:40,720 --> 01:33:42,360
The first five years bein' the worst,
1864
01:33:43,100 --> 01:33:46,140
talk about a fight for survival, we had it.
1865
01:33:46,840 --> 01:33:50,400
Okies or not the Dust Bowl people kept coming.
1866
01:33:51,380 --> 01:33:54,820
We were not bad, we were not ignorant or stupid,
1867
01:33:55,180 --> 01:33:58,860
we were just hardworking people who had lost all they
1868
01:33:58,860 --> 01:34:02,220
had and were trying to put their lives back together.
1869
01:34:11,760 --> 01:34:12,560
- Welcome back.
1870
01:34:12,680 --> 01:34:15,380
After 31 days of riding, the Bikes of Wrath,
1871
01:34:15,380 --> 01:34:19,680
a group of five John Steinbeck devotees from Australia,
1872
01:34:19,680 --> 01:34:21,980
have finished their journey, here in Bakersfield.
1873
01:34:22,040 --> 01:34:24,040
- Their quest was to follow the footsteps
1874
01:34:24,040 --> 01:34:26,460
of Steinbeck's novel, The Grapes of Wrath,
1875
01:34:26,460 --> 01:34:28,360
starting from Sallisaw, Oklahoma
1876
01:34:28,840 --> 01:34:31,000
to Weedpatch Camp in Kern County.
1877
01:34:31,000 --> 01:34:33,260
17's, Anne Di Grazia joins us live
1878
01:34:33,260 --> 01:34:36,320
from Weedpatch Camp with their unusual story, Anne.
1879
01:34:38,060 --> 01:34:41,160
- Tammy, the Dust Bowl drove a wave of midwesterners
1880
01:34:41,160 --> 01:34:42,900
to California about 80 years ago.
1881
01:34:43,440 --> 01:34:45,840
These five men wanted to re-create that journey,
1882
01:34:46,260 --> 01:34:48,220
and the many hardships so many Americans faced.
1883
01:34:50,140 --> 01:34:53,360
These five Aussies call themselves the Bikes of Wrath,
1884
01:34:53,460 --> 01:34:55,840
and they have just finished an arduous journey
1885
01:34:55,840 --> 01:34:58,600
through storms and desert, like true Okies.
1886
01:35:03,480 --> 01:35:03,980
- Hello!
1887
01:35:04,040 --> 01:35:04,540
- Hi. You're early
- How you doing?
1888
01:35:05,580 --> 01:35:06,080
- How you going?
1889
01:35:06,140 --> 01:35:06,680
- Traffic was good.
1890
01:35:07,720 --> 01:35:08,560
- Come on in.
1891
01:35:09,280 --> 01:35:09,780
- I'm Ollie.
1892
01:35:10,020 --> 01:35:11,140
- Ollie? I'm Suzeanne.
1893
01:35:11,140 --> 01:35:12,000
- Cameron.
1894
01:35:12,000 --> 01:35:13,420
- Hi Cameron, it's nice to meet you.
1895
01:35:13,500 --> 01:35:14,560
I was just re-reading this
1896
01:35:14,560 --> 01:35:17,240
cause I hadn't read it in quite a while.
1897
01:35:17,300 --> 01:35:20,360
My feeling was, as I saw your story last night,
1898
01:35:20,360 --> 01:35:22,780
I kind of was, my husband was watching the news,
1899
01:35:22,780 --> 01:35:24,740
and I understand that you're going through
1900
01:35:24,740 --> 01:35:26,460
the Grapes of Wrath, from the book,
1901
01:35:26,460 --> 01:35:28,780
but this is a first hand primary resource.
1902
01:35:28,800 --> 01:35:32,120
- Yeah, we've heard versions from people
1903
01:35:32,140 --> 01:35:35,260
but yours is an actual 18-page account.
1904
01:35:35,260 --> 01:35:38,580
- Yes, so my aunt, my oldest aunt, who,
1905
01:35:38,580 --> 01:35:40,540
this is the letter from, her name is Wilma Wood.
1906
01:35:40,540 --> 01:35:42,300
She's now passed away.
1907
01:35:42,300 --> 01:35:45,540
She was 11 years old, and my mother was a year old,
1908
01:35:45,780 --> 01:35:50,380
and so, this was her explanation, what it took
1909
01:35:50,380 --> 01:35:56,760
to get from Oklahoma to California on, I think $30.
1910
01:35:57,300 --> 01:35:59,700
They were treated like scum of the Earth
1911
01:35:59,700 --> 01:36:04,720
and that held on their whole life.
1912
01:36:04,920 --> 01:36:06,880
I can't believe she did this!
1913
01:36:07,140 --> 01:36:10,120
So there's heart in there, and there's truth,
1914
01:36:10,120 --> 01:36:12,220
and oh man, I don't know.
1915
01:36:12,420 --> 01:36:13,120
- Has any of it stood out to you
1916
01:36:13,140 --> 01:36:16,420
that you would read out at all?
1917
01:36:18,820 --> 01:36:20,420
Love to hear just a little bit.
1918
01:36:21,260 --> 01:36:23,060
- I've always felt that God had a special place in his
1919
01:36:23,060 --> 01:36:25,460
heart for the people of the Dust Bowl.
1920
01:36:26,080 --> 01:36:28,160
He alone knows their struggles, their tears,
1921
01:36:28,160 --> 01:36:30,920
their heartaches, they were a rare breed of people.
1922
01:36:31,860 --> 01:36:34,240
My sisters and I grew up, we all married, and had children,
1923
01:36:35,680 --> 01:36:39,040
they are all lovely and young people.
1924
01:36:42,780 --> 01:36:45,180
Daddy and Mother did well, as did Jo.
1925
01:36:46,180 --> 01:36:48,420
The years past, we lost Daddy and Ma,
1926
01:36:49,460 --> 01:36:51,081
and one precious nephew,
1927
01:36:51,081 --> 01:36:52,500
which was my brother.
1928
01:36:53,580 --> 01:36:55,860
He was killed when he was 16.
1929
01:36:56,140 --> 01:36:57,860
But this is the way life goes.
1930
01:36:59,520 --> 01:37:01,020
This is the way it was.
1931
01:37:01,020 --> 01:37:03,740
This is my story, my little sister's story,
1932
01:37:04,720 --> 01:37:07,320
Daddy and Mother's story and Ma's story.
1933
01:37:09,240 --> 01:37:09,740
It is the truth.
1934
01:37:10,900 --> 01:37:12,760
Nothing here has been taken from a book.
1935
01:37:14,100 --> 01:37:16,940
This is the way we lived it, by Wilma Wood.
1936
01:37:17,700 --> 01:37:19,980
So it's just really special.
1937
01:37:20,120 --> 01:37:20,720
- Thank you.
1938
01:37:20,720 --> 01:37:25,240
- You may use that and I'll be praying
1939
01:37:25,240 --> 01:37:27,000
for the rest of your guys' journey
1940
01:37:27,000 --> 01:37:30,620
and can't wait to see what happens.
1941
01:37:32,300 --> 01:37:34,340
- And the interesting thing for me, is that,
1942
01:37:37,740 --> 01:37:38,920
that I actually met them.
1943
01:37:39,140 --> 01:37:40,360
- My name is Charlie Turnbull.
1944
01:37:40,360 --> 01:37:43,200
I'm 24 years old, I grew up on my farm,
1945
01:37:43,200 --> 01:37:46,320
just outside of Canberra and now I study,
1946
01:37:46,320 --> 01:37:47,860
kinda part time in Sydney,
1947
01:37:47,860 --> 01:37:49,600
and try and do a whole lot of travel.
1948
01:37:49,880 --> 01:37:52,120
- And the interesting thing about a story like that is,
1949
01:37:52,120 --> 01:37:54,520
because these guys are so bright-eyed, and so happy,
1950
01:37:54,520 --> 01:37:57,560
and so filled with energy and vitality
1951
01:37:57,560 --> 01:37:59,640
and just love of what they're doing,
1952
01:37:59,640 --> 01:38:01,460
as far as the universe goes,
1953
01:38:02,160 --> 01:38:05,020
I don't wanna get all out there,
1954
01:38:05,160 --> 01:38:07,220
but as far as the whole thing goes,
1955
01:38:08,720 --> 01:38:11,560
they did their job for me!
1956
01:38:11,560 --> 01:38:13,680
- My name is Oliver Chiswell and I come
1957
01:38:13,680 --> 01:38:15,520
from a small town called Collector,
1958
01:38:15,520 --> 01:38:16,360
just outside of Canberra.
1959
01:38:16,900 --> 01:38:21,560
I grew up on a egg farm out in the country
1960
01:38:21,700 --> 01:38:23,720
and pretty much lived in the country ever since then.
1961
01:38:24,180 --> 01:38:27,060
- These guys were so incredibly positive
1962
01:38:27,060 --> 01:38:31,460
and filled with such love and awareness of who they are,
1963
01:38:31,480 --> 01:38:33,540
and I don't think that most people would even think of
1964
01:38:33,540 --> 01:38:37,180
what they've done for humanity.
1965
01:38:37,580 --> 01:38:39,080
- My name's Cameron Ford.
1966
01:38:39,100 --> 01:38:42,360
I'm a filmmaker, I'm a musician,
1967
01:38:42,840 --> 01:38:44,620
on the strip I turned 35,
1968
01:38:44,620 --> 01:38:46,940
two days before we set off on the bikes.
1969
01:38:47,140 --> 01:38:48,740
- And people say, "Oh, well, what did they do?
1970
01:38:48,740 --> 01:38:51,260
"They got on a plane, flew over here and got on some
1971
01:38:51,260 --> 01:38:52,240
bikes and rode around."
1972
01:38:52,640 --> 01:38:55,380
But that's the kind of thing that people do not
1973
01:38:55,380 --> 01:38:58,400
understand. It can be something that's almost magical.
1974
01:38:58,520 --> 01:39:00,960
I don't know how this is gonna affect them,
1975
01:39:00,960 --> 01:39:03,740
it's gonna affect them in a very good way, I'm sure.
1976
01:39:03,760 --> 01:39:06,460
- My name is Redouane Chaouki, people call me Red.
1977
01:39:06,480 --> 01:39:09,460
I'm 33. I live in Australia.
1978
01:39:09,460 --> 01:39:11,680
I'm from Casablanca, Morocco and I'm French.
1979
01:39:12,000 --> 01:39:13,740
So, I have three passports.
1980
01:39:14,200 --> 01:39:17,640
- But they may have not been doing that for themselves,
1981
01:39:17,640 --> 01:39:20,420
they may have been doing that for someone else.
1982
01:39:20,420 --> 01:39:22,480
They may have been doing that for the person
1983
01:39:22,480 --> 01:39:25,100
that was feeling that they had a goal that was too far.
1984
01:39:25,260 --> 01:39:26,840
- My name's Leon Morton.
1985
01:39:26,840 --> 01:39:29,320
I'm a firefighter, 30 years old.
1986
01:39:29,320 --> 01:39:30,700
I've not been in the firebregade
1987
01:39:30,700 --> 01:39:31,640
for very long, I'm still learning.
1988
01:39:31,640 --> 01:39:34,040
Every day you go home a better person.
1989
01:39:34,200 --> 01:39:38,460
- It is impossible to tell the amount of goodness
1990
01:39:38,720 --> 01:39:42,960
that those five guys on that trip have done for humanity.
1991
01:39:42,960 --> 01:39:44,500
It's just impossible to tell.
1992
01:39:44,500 --> 01:39:45,740
They did a lot for me.
1993
01:39:47,100 --> 01:39:48,900
So, I'm doing a video about them.
1994
01:39:49,520 --> 01:39:51,640
I'm Hello Rodney. Thanks so very much.
1995
01:39:53,000 --> 01:39:54,300
Thanks very much,
1996
01:39:58,520 --> 01:39:59,800
Bikes of Wrath.
