Folks, I present to you the manliest of men:

http://www.wherethehellismatt.com/videos.shtml


I've known about this guy for quite some time, but manage to stumble across it again today and deemed it worthy to post here.

Long story short, this guy was a video game developer who saved his money for two years, quit his job and spent six months traveling the world. About three weeks into his foray a friend of his thought it'd be hilarious if he recorded himself flailing about like an idiot (white man dancing if you will) in front of the camera at all of these locations. So he did.

They spliced the video together and posted it on the web, upon which the video gained massive popularity. So much in fact, that the Stride gum company caught wind of the vid and Matt's antics. They called the man up and asked him if he wanted to spend another six months traveling 39 of the world's countries completely on their tab. I think this guy does this for a living now, i'm not sure.

Anyways, all of the main videos are great, but it's the second one that really stands out; the locations and venues will really put a smile on your face.

Just thought the boys here at CA would like this stuff, seeing as how it really put a smile on my face.

In the first video, where he's in Rwanda and all the kids come and dance with him... priceless.

Yeah, he said that was his favorite scene in all of his videos.


Personally my favorite part has to be when he's dancing on that small boulder (you know, the one with the 1000 foot drop below it?). Takes a man with real big kahunas to tackle that stuff on.

Actually he worked at Activision, and judging by how he talked about it they were real slave drivers. You can catch his interview right here:
