- One thing's for sure, I will be wearing these shorts
the entire time.
Jill said I look like a grandpa.
Rolling?
- [Justin] Yeah.
- We're rolling.
The bus is rolling.
Everything's rolling.
It's day one of the Here to Hear Tour, which of course
is the tour to destigmatize Hawaiian shirts
and I'm pretty passionate about it.
No, that's not true.
Well maybe, maybe that will be a byproduct of the tour
but the real tour purpose is to destigmatize hearing loss
and hearing aids, everything surrounding it.
How are we gonna do that?
I'm not sure.
I think what I gotta do is just have a lot of fun
and that's how we get rid of the stigma, that's my plan.
We're gonna hit 20 colleges in 30 days and meet all sorts
of different students, regular people, not that students
aren't regular people but you know what I mean.
Traveling across the country, Mike, the driver,
he's all business, I like this.
I feel very safe in your hands, Mike, and Justin,
I don't know how you're gonna say hi,
maybe we can show you later.
Justin's only 20 years old so we can't go drinking together.
That's good, it's gonna keep my behavior in check
and I need that.
I feel like I'm showing a lot of skin right now
so we're gonna have to put an explicit content warning
on this vlog, which is good.
There's a bed back there as well, who knows what's gonna
happen on that.
Probably sleeping, if I had to guess,
mainly sleeping, maybe napping.
I brought my Frisbee, I brought a football,
I brought some free weights.
Staying fit on the bus.
They're only 15 pounds so I won't get too jacked.
We're getting fit together. - [Justin] Yes.
- By the end of this tour, we're gonna look like
hard of hearing legend Lou Ferrigno, The Hulk!
Do you know who Lou Ferrigno is?
- [Justin] No.
- 20 years old, you gotta know Lou Ferrigno.
He's a legend.
Is it Lou Ferrino? I never learned that.
Day one of the Here to Hear Tour and I'm so excited,
it's gonna be amazing, and the first school is,
Jill, my good friend, Jill, what is it?
Where are we going?
What's the name of the school?
Pulman?
Washington State University.
I gotta look at the schedule.
Basically I'm going wherever they tell me to go
and we're gonna have fun along the way.
One thing's for sure, I will be wearing these shorts
the entire time.
Jill said I look like a grandpa
and that's the highest compliment I can receive.
That means I've given life.
- [Mike] A look at California.
- Nature, life, beauty. - You know what that smell is?
That's money.
- Yeah, dirty money.
(upbeat energetic electronic music)
You want me to keep my eyes open or eyes closed?
- [Justin] It's up to you. - It's going in
no matter what.
Is there any wind in here?
Mm, I got muffin on my finger.
Did that go in?
- [Justin] I think it did!
- I know.
Oh yeah, act like you've been here before.
It's all about confidence, right?
I probably look so funny with my feet up behind me.
I'm like gangsta in the front,
scared little boy in the back.
You know any sign language?
- [Justin] No.
- My name is D.J.
- [Jill] Nice to meet you.
- Thank you.
Girl?
No, guy.
Coffee.
- [Jill] Coffee?
- Yeah.
Pop.
- [Jill] Pop?
- And then poop's this way.
Yeah, or soda I guess, in America.
Pop in Canada.
When I used to work at this TV channel in Canada,
I went and covered the Deaf Olympics,
they were in Toronto that year and there were people
speaking British sign language and then but the only
interpreter they had was an American sign language
interpreter who also knew British sign language.
So I was talking to an athlete, she would talk to her
British sign language interpreter and then the British
sign language interpreter, an ASL interpreter would
translate from her and tell me what she had said.
So the athlete, I would ask the athlete the question,
ASL would tell BSL, BSL would tell the athlete
and then she would tell BSL, BSL would tell,
so like I'd ask the question and just wait for like
20 seconds and then it would come back to me like oh,
okay, cool but it was like such a long process.
Yeah, even when I do comedy shows, it's interesting
when there's an interpreter.
You might have saw it but there's two waves of laughter.
I get the laughs from the hearing people
and then the deaf people and I have to wait for both.
- [Justin] Where are we?
- Gilroy, California.
- [Justin] It's famous for what?
- Garlic capital of the United States.
They have a garlic festival every year.
People come from miles around to have everything garlic.
- [DJ] That smells good.
- [Jill] Yeah, I like it.
- It should be a rule that they have to garlic farms
beside where the cows are.
Balance it out.
- Can you imagine the mix of those two?
- Well we figured if Jill's gonna be on camera,
we should probably let everybody know who she is
and she's from Phonak.
Jill!
- [Justin] It's Jill.
- Hi, I'm Jill, I work at Phonak.
- Yeah, that's like,
that's hard to miss. (laughs)
That's me!
This is how I represent myself.
That guy stepped out of his own RV?
Doesn't seem right.
What really completes the look is the ankle socks.
- [Jill] Yeah it does. (laughs)
- Mmhmm.
I'm here to destigmatize ankle socks.
Believe that.
- [Justin] Every day are you gonna wear Hawaiian shirts?
- No, I actually only brought one because I knew if I
brought any more I would wear them.
I only own three.
It is an addiction.
Once you get one Hawaiian shirt, you can't stop.
Like tattoos.
Although, I got one tattoo and I stopped.
- [Justin] You have one?
- Yeah. - [Justin] Where?
- I'll show you at some point on the tour.
- [Justin] Oh god.
- That sounded ominous.
It's on my back, it's a turntable
because my name is D.J.
- No way.
- For real.
- [Jill] All right, get it!
- You know, we all make regrettable decisions.
I don't regret that.
I don't have to look at it.
50 bucks?
It's gonna be a long month if we don't have a percussion
action handheld massager or quad action shiatsu.
Guy looks like he's loving it.
What does that, so you put that on and then it just?
Pretty sweet.
- This is what you should get as an alarm clock.
Have you tried this?
- Wake up with light, no.
- This is actually nice, it's probably better.
- I don't think it would work, I sleep with my blind
completely open, sun on me and I can still sleep
til like noon.
- [Jill] Really? (laughs)
- Light don't bother me.
It's me, grandpa!
We're here at the, where are we?
Coopertino?
California.
Ankle socks,
athletic shorts, Hawaiian shirt.
Respect.
