Hey, what's going on, everybody?
I'm at probably one of my most favorite places in the world.
I know I've said I love the Grand Canyon.
That's my favorite place.
This place, it's tied or it may edge out the Grand Canyon by a little bit.
I'm in Sedona, Arizona, and this place is literally heaven on earth.
I'm surrounded by beautiful red rocks.
I'm surrounded by canyons.
Right now, I'm on an ATV tour of the place.
There's so many beautiful locations in this area to explore.
So I'm going to take you guys to some of my favorite places.
I can't show you every single place because we only have a day here
and there's so many awesome places to see.
But right now, we're going into a robber's cave,
which is this like super old cave that apparently some robbers stayed in.
Behind me, it's the robber's cave.
You know what it looks like?
It looks like the head of a dragon.
See here?
That's the teeth, the mouth area, and you have the eyes over here, right?
Look at that.
That looks like a dragon.
And where the eyes are, that's where the cave is.
So we're going to go take a look at this cave.
I'm trying to get to this cave, but this trail is a little crazy.
Well, it's actually not even really a trail.
I think this is the way to the cave.
One little misstep and down I go.
You guys see the cave right there?
Wow, look at this view.
Actually, I don't know what's going on over there.
I think it might be a bush fire, forest fire or something.
Check out this cave, guys.
Look at this.
It's really nice and cozy, actually.
There's a nice windowsill over here.
Nice little walkway with stairs.
Some nice ventilation.
I don't think you'll need AC.
This is great.
Rain can't really get through.
Shields you from the wind.
I could live in a place like this.
This is probably better than my New York apartment.
Wow, nice view.
Wake up every single morning to that.
Get to see all the stars at night.
You know what this is like?
This is like a 50 feet widescreen, ultra clear TV that's on a nature channel all the time.
Welcome to my window, everybody.
Best window ever.
Great view.
Alright, we're leaving my house, the cave.
You know what?
I do love living here.
I would love living here, but there's too many visitors every day.
So maybe we pretend to be ghosts and that the cave is haunted and nobody will visit.
Then we can live there.
After I came to Sedona, I introduced it to my buddy here.
Then he took his wife.
Yo, stop taking your wife to all the places I take you to, man.
That's only supposed to be for us, dude.
First time here.
It's like the most beautiful thing.
Dude, riding that ATV through all the windy, twisty roads.
It just feels like-
This guy's drifting.
Yeah, it's like drifting at like 50 miles an hour.
That's Sedona drift right here.
Sedona drift.
Yeah, you got crumbs all over your face.
I'm just saying.
You know, there's an old Buddhist legend that the red rocks and red earth on this planet
are actually the blood of Buddha.
In contrast, the white rocks and the white dirt are the bloods of demons.
So it's kind of interesting because you see sometimes white rocks and red rocks.
So it could have been like the battlefield between Buddhas and demons here in Sedona.
Or it could have been like, you know, God spilled some hot oil and these things just got all colorful.
Our final stop today on our Sedona adventures is Cathedral Rock.
This place is awesome and it's supposed to be called Cathedral Rock, I guess,
because it looks like a cathedral.
Does it look like a cathedral?
It's gorgeous.
Yeah, I guess so.
It looks like fingers.
The first time I came out west and I saw a cactus or a cacti for the first time,
I was really excited because I've never seen one in the wild before.
I've only seen them in little pots.
I've never seen one just growing there.
So I got really excited.
I thought they were really adorable.
So I decided to touch one.
Yeah, you should never touch a cactus.
Yeah, that's just not the smartest thing.
So yeah, in case you don't know this already, don't touch sharp things.
I just don't really have any common sense.
Oh, once I kissed one too.
That is actually a trail.
That is awesome.
The view from here is already amazing.
Getting closer.
How do you guys feel?
Well, this guy is almost dead.
A few more steps.
This is not the very top, but
got an awesome view.
A lot of people think once you get to this point of Cathedral Rock, it's the end.
I didn't know this either, but there's actually a trail that leads up a little further.
Sunsets in general are super beautiful and awesome.
But seeing the sunset in the Grand Canyon and also in Sedona,
it's just like a whole different type of feeling.
Especially having lived in New York City for so long,
watching the sunset over there,
compared to watching the sunset here.
You can't compare the two.
Right now, it just seems like this land is so peaceful.
And it's almost like the sun is setting in this
crazy picture-esque storybook of a kingdom here.
This is why I come back every single year.
I never get sick of it.
There's so many things to see.
And even if I've seen it before, I want to see it again.
And next year, I'll come back
and I'll be sitting here watching the same sun setting
and I'll never get sick of it.
If you guys have been here before,
or if you're going to come in the future,
definitely let me know your thoughts about this place.
And let me know if you like my hair.
Alright guys, thanks so much for watching.
See you later.
