Don't go into this thinking it's some Impractical Jokers type format but as a Travel Vlog, its not. Yes, they're friends. Yes, they're comedians. However, it's a Travel Vlog show where people get paid to check out various vacation areas and submerge themselves into some aspect of the location they visit. All travel vlog shows are different. Some focus on really bougie/exclusive type places with really haughty hosts and others are the antithesis of that with really budget locales on a very tight budget. This is neither, but closer to the latter. To me, it a must watch because it gives me insight into places I plan to visit at some point and allows me to add new ones to the list. They do a decent job of getting the essence of the place they visit from the view of foodies who like to drink, eat and have fun. I'm not a big drinker so I wont be doing all of their recommendations, but I have noted certain spots they've gone to as places I wanna check out that aren't on the normal "things to do in" type searches you do before going on a vacation somewhere.
That said, it's all about getting more knowledge and pointers on different places I want to check out off the beaten path from restaurants to bars to clubs to things to do. For me though, it's the restaurants and things to do I take note of most.
I also enjoy HOW they experience these places. They almost always incorporate the owners, other travelers and locals for a behind the scenes look into the places they go. Again, INVALUABLE knowledge to be had there when you see WHERE and HOW the food you're about to eat is prepared!
As far as the aspect of watching them just to have a good time watching them have a good time, lol I do! They're very affable guys (both comedians) who aren't over the top with the acting for the camera aspect of reality TV. They come across as relatable and their overall vibe keeps the show watchable and entertaining. You might get a few good laughs, but it's not at an Impractical Jokets level of funny because, again, it's not that type of show. It's a Travel Vlog experience with a fun vibe., nothing more, nothing less.
Anyways, to sum up, its a great Travel Vlog and I'm not sure why the people who disliked it, dislike it so vehemently to give it no to 2 stars max. Maybe they don't like the actors? Dunno what the issue with the 2 star/no star reviewers is but I promise you, at the very least the show is a good way to learn about a different vacation spots and cities with some down to earth regular type guys leading the journey with enthusiasm and goofy vigor. So, I recommend it at least as a way to pass time and learn a little something but at the very best, a fun and informative travel vlog experience!
