Welcome back to the channel.

Today we have a very big announcement to make.....

something that we have been working towards for over five years.....

We have just received the great news that we are going

to be hosting our fist travel television show.

The show is called Budget versus Baller,

and it's going to be airing on the newly launched Tastemade channel on YouTube TV.

We founded this channel way back in 2012

as basically a resume to pitch travel television show concepts.

It feels very rewarding for us to come full circle

and finally get the opportunity to host our own travel show on a

dynamic platform like YouTube TV.

But we would not be here without the continued support of you,

all of the Vagabuddies out there.

Thank you so much.

We did this together.

For those of you who don't know what YouTube TV is,

it's a cutting-edge new platform

for those of you who want a couple of your favorite television channels

combined with the best of digital content.

Right now it's only available in the United States

where for $40 a month you get 50 + channels

including CNN, ESPN and tons of other major television networks

YouTube TV also recently added three

digital first networks, including Cheddar,

The Young Turks, and our partner Tastemade.

Tastemade is launching a ton of cool original programs over the course of 2018,

including our show Budget Versus Baller.

We could not be more excited to partner with Tastemade.

We've worked with them numerous times in the past,

and Tastemade has a lot in common with our style of travel and exploration.

We can't wait to see where this collaboration takes us.

The concept of Budget vs Baller is very simple:

Alex and I get to a new city;

we have a brief round of trivia.

Then one of us wins a baller budget

while the other has to get by on a shoestring.

We're going to be on the road for the next six weeks

filming in Europe, Asia, and North America.

The show will premiere on Tastemade in September,

and the episodes will be a full thirty minutes long.

This summer we'll be very focused on filming Budget versus Baller,

but we're going to do our best to keep weekly content

coming at you here on the YouTube channel all summer long.

So we appreciate your patience as we work towards completing a goal

that we've had for a very, very long time.

To do that we're going to do our best to create content while we're on the road,

and we're also going to be doing a lot of live streams,

both on Instagram and on YouTube.

Additionally, we're rolling out two concepts that we're really excited about:

Before- You- Go Guides and Virtual Vacations.

Before- You- Go Guides is everything we think you need to know

about a destination before you go,

from the cost of a visa to must-try foods and cultural do's and don't's.

Tell us in the comments section what info you're dying to know before you go, and we'll do our best

to incorporate that in future videos.

Virtual vacations is our take on slow TV.

We've combined our favorite drone, gimbal, and cinematic footage with sound effects and great music

for 15 to 30 minute visual vacations that are going to take you to paradise.

Whether it's playing in the background at work or on the big screen at home,

get comfortable.

Maybe crack a beer or pour yourself a glass of wine,

and get ready to get taken away.

If you want to stay up to date with the latest dispatches from the road

and get sneak peeks behind the scenes of Budget vs Baller,

make sure that you're following us on Instagram@Vagabrothers

and our personal accounts @Markoayling and @ alexthevagabond.

To sum it up, we're going to be on the road until early August,

and the show will premiere shortly thereafter in early September.

We're already in destination number one.

So go over to Instagram to find out where that is and use the hashtag

#Budget vs. Baller or #BVB to keep the conversation going online.

In the mean time, make sure that you have notifications enabled on Instagram and here on YouTube

so you never miss when we go live, publish a new video, or post a new photo.

In short, we're stoked!

We're going to go to some amazing places this summer.

So in the meantime, stay curious,keep exploring,

and we'll see you on the road.

Peace.
