This week’s YouTube finds include:

  • A $9 flight that probably shouldn’t exist

  • Amy Poehler being wise and hilarious

  • A guy sleeping outside in LA by choice

  • And someone building a golf course from scratch

Let’s go ↓

Simon shows up broke in Moldova and books the sketchiest airline he can find. No cash, no plan, and somehow… it kind of works?

Ali walks through the exact tools and systems he uses to run his business and not lose his mind. Feels like Notion therapy.

She talks about parenting with Will Arnett, aging, being chill, and learning to not care so much. The guys from SmartLess are one of the most fun podcasts around these days!

Cleveland’s own Sir Yacht goes full send on The Cheesecake Factory menu. Brown bread hits. I don’t know how he does it. Mindless but entertaining!

He walks 15+ miles, sleeps outside, and eats from dollar stores — all with good vibes. One of the most sincere videos on the internet.

No voiceover. No music. Just waves, wind, and total quiet. Like meditation in video form. Plus you get to see a cool part of the world.

UAE-made war film based on a true rescue mission. No fluff. Just intensity. If you liked 13 Hours, this one is great too.

PGA Tour pro turns golf course architect. Big ideas, dusty land, and total golf nerd energy. Feels like Field of Dreams with bunkers.
