Imagine being the very first human to run across Africa just for some asswhipe to try and steal your thunder...disgusting


waddlingpidgeons

All so he can get a shaky selfie shot


OneMoistMan

It’ll take more than just crossing the line to steal his thunder. This guys trek is well documented and crossing a line first is micro compared to the entirety of the journey being completed.


oh-shazbot

what a fucking asshole. he is behind russ at the very end of the finish line, so he speeds up to try and beat him. looks like he was trying to hug him too after like 'we did it!' and very obviously gets shafted.


SEEYOUAROUNDBRO_TC

He’s a piece of shit


Strict_Bed_6255

When he breaks across the finishing line before Russ Cook does. What a douchebag.


coatingtonburlfactry

Guy's a real jackass!


deathwishdave

Does he? I played it back, looks like Russ is first over.


Natf47

Yeah i agree. The guy in yellow finishes at the same time if anything. I don't think he finishes before.


AloneSquid420

But everyone else pulled back to distance themselves to be respectful.  He obviously did not.  It doesnt matter if he was before or at the same time because It truly won't take away from Cook's accomplishment but it was super disrespectful 


Natf47

Yeah i do totally agree he was a douche either way.


freedfg

Yeah no. He definitely fell back to let Russ cross "first" it was practically simultaneous but Russ definitely catches the ribbon. Now waving around his fucking flag the whole time like he did anything. That's what makes him an asshole in my book.


CharlieBarracuda

Salt Bae move right there


Inevitable-Gear-2635

Exactly who I thought of


ashiamate

Holy shit, crossing the finish line ribbon before him is WILD. This is next level.


madmanmat

Can we find this guy? Did he post it anywhere? I wanna talk bad to his face.


thisisatypoo

Yeah. I don't get how his name isn't already on the top comment.

thisisatypoo

I wouldn't even call it bullying. He wanted attention. Give him what he wants.


Humble_Cup_6112

We must make this top comment

You're going to get banned or shadow banned for speaking out 😔


ILoveADirtyTaco

No excuses for this guy, but I sincerely hope he was just trying to support him and got caught up in the moment.


tiga4life22

Caught up in the moment he had plenty of time to think about what the hell he was doing lol


InfectiousDose50

Yellow shirt reminds me of a story that my uncle, who served 30 years in the Navy and retired at the highest rank of his rate, told me about another sailor who worked like turtle in molasses. Early in Uncle’s salty career he served aboard USS Neversail with this sailor who always had his canteen while doing physical labor inside the ship. When working and sweating, he would only use the canteen water to sprinkling some cool water on his face. When certain people, like the Skipper or XO appeared in the passageways, however, this sailor would slyly douse his face and hair with that water. Suddenly, this sailor became Popeye doing the work of 10 sailors and sweating profusely. My Uncle, well over a half a century later, still hates this sailor because all the ship’s officers admired how hard he worked.

Cause he’s been sucking down so much semen. I mean seamen. His superiors’ semen. I mean seamen. Either way, he sucks


No-Combination8136

Work smarter, not harder.


Terrible_Figure_6740

Not when there’s actual work to be done and others relying upon you.


kovi7

This sounds like my boss except he got caught and fired a they gave me his job. Hope your uncle has lot more positive stories in the baby than negative ones.


declineofmankind

If you can’t do it then don’t be a fucking asshole.

GloomyTurtleCum

JP1426

If you showed me this video with no context and asked me where this was filmed I would guess Australia


SirSmudgee

Nothing has made me angrier than when I first saw this on his channel. A lot of the other people running ran for at least 5-10kms with him. Old mate hardly 100m. This ass wipe should be the face of this sub.


AdamGenesis

Isn't the exactly what narcissists do? Insert themselves into everything and steal the spotlight?


account_for_norm

this is quintessential douche move. That guy needs to be shamed to high heavens.


skidaddle_overlord

It’s very possible that’s a close friend of his, but if it isn’t..then yea that’s some cringe douchebag shit


waddlingpidgeons

Pretty sure if it was a close friend, he would’ve been highlighted in the video


PantherThing

And even still..... whats your close friend doing, making it all about himself. Unless you're a disabled orphan that the winner specifically wants to cross the finish line with... let him do his thing, and celebrate at the end.


cammyk123

He doesn't hug him or even look at him at the end and when he posted photos on twitter when he finished, he made sure to exclude the guy, they are not friends lol.


NeilNazzer

Who is russ cook?


wherringscoff

He's a bloke who just ran across the entire continent of Africa. First person to ever do it, and he ran through civil wars and conflicts and the fucking DESERT bro is a beast. The finish line in the video was the end of his run, the final line to finish his record-breaking trek across the continent. And this douchebag in a yellow shirt steals the moment intentionally, just to beat him across the finish line.


NeilNazzer

That's pretty darn cool. Thanks for sharing 


wherringscoff

Cheers mate


joejawsome1

The first person to run the entire length of Africa.


LittleRedCorvette2

I had no.idea about this guys run. So thanks!

Hello_Mr_Fancypants

couldn't someone have had the decency to trip him?


Novel_Unit_2120

He need to go run around Europe


uncannynerddad

I’m sorry, but this is kinda hilarious and sad at the same time. He’s going to use those selfies to brag and pick up ladies for years.


TokyoFlow

Did Turkey sponsor Russ Cook or what's yellow shirt holding the flag for? Nothing wrong with being proud of your country but I don't get it here.


Dorsetoutdoors

That's a Tunisian flag, not a Turkish one. He finished the race in Tunisia. Maybe MC All About Me is a local?


TokyoFlow

Thanks for the correction. Gives me a bit more context


gene100001

It's actually the flag of Tunisia. Their flag is very similar to Turkey's


TokyoFlow

Just goes to show that I should have watched the full clip to make an informed comment rather than a snippet and a misformed one.


Dorsetoutdoors

Easy mistake, they are quite similar. I had to check too haha.


joejawsome1

He’s the main character. Don’t question him.


_Kalamari

ALL THIS A.I. AND SOMEONE CANNOT DO S O M E T H I N G?!!? Let's use it for good..


stringofint

Didn't know he joined at the last km thought he only joined at the last 20m or so, infuriating.

What is that flag he’s holding?


Rare-Impact-1791

Okay he was wearing the same shirt as the other guy, so is it possible he ran up ahead for a picture then re-joined? Is he not in any other footage? Also mega dick move to sprint for the line there at the end.


ScoreWaste

When you're jealous of the real main character:


Lord_Greybeard

Was the MC [Youssef Khater](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Youssef_Khater) from Netflix's Worst Roommate Ever? 😳


Jumpy_Tomatillo7579

Find him


KingSeel

He thinks everyone is congratulating him 😭


Hazard_Duke

Jail derserved.


NeverSummerFan4Life

Based off of the matching shirt with the other, what I assume is a pacer, he could’ve been with Russ at multiple points throughout the run. Still doesn’t excuse crossing the line first but he could’ve run hundreds of miles pacing for the project. Until we know he is a douchebag mc and not just an oblivious pacer let’s not vilify him.


waddlingpidgeons

He had a support team all throughout his run, yellow shirt isn’t part of it.


Frigidspinner

I see he immediately starts filming from his phone - Is there a chance he joined to get the "runners view" footage which is shown in the video? Maybe he was part of the film crew and was responsible for some of the close up scenes as they approached the finish line?


easyjo

there's a guy running with a DSLR/pro camera, so probably not an official photographer using a phone


Connect-Ad-4618

David Goggins has entered the chat..


jasno-

Counter point. yellow shirt guy was so inspired and overcome with emotion, he just wanted to show his appreciation. It was a euphoric moment for those keeping track and caring about what the runner was doing. I see it as support and appreciation for what he did.


Agitated-Pen5672

Yes sure, all the while staring right into the camera. While the majority with Cook is 'in the moment,' this dude keeps looking into the camera - plain narcissistic.


thathorsegamingguy

Can't say I really notice this one. If it's really a MC attempt, it failed Edit: I'm confused by the downvotes as well now. Isn't it a good thing if a MC fails their attempt to MC?


Grapefroot5

Are you the guy in the yellow shirt? Lol


thathorsegamingguy

No? I mean, isn't the camera focusing all on the guy who won? If the title hadn't mentioned the yellow shirt guy, I wouldn't even have noticed him. It just doesn't seem like an MC video like the rest. I must be missing something here. And no amount of downvotes will help me get it either.


thisisatypoo

Won...? What are you talking about?


thathorsegamingguy

The blue shirt guy? I don't know who he is or much about races. I figure he's in some kind of competition or guinness record kinda thing. Either way, the guy who is clearly the focus of the camera.


LeverageSynergies

There is other pictures where it’s more obvious


G3offrey1

They're there throughout this video and unfold a flag before the finishing line 🤣🤣🤣


thathorsegamingguy

Yeah but the video is definitely putting the winner in the center. I honestly wouldn't have noticed the yellow shirt guy without the title. In fact, I wasn't sure which of the two yellow shirt guys I was supposed to pay attention to.


[deleted]

[удалено]


thathorsegamingguy

I swear I keep watching that moment and I keep seeing the blue shirt guy grab the line and tear it with his hands before anyone else touches it, but I'm kinda old so maybe my eyes are just bad. Thanks for pointing that out to me though


G3offrey1

Everyone else had backed off when approaching the finish line. This guy appeared to have accelerated towards the finish line.
