You know, one of the rules when I become 80? What? The one rule I'm always gonna have is, "Just smile.
You're lucky you made it.
" - Who said that? - Martin Luther King? I don't know.
That's always gonna be a saying of mine.
And maybe it's time for him to grow up.
Oh.

[BELL DINGS.]
Just smile because it's my birthday.
I should get my way, right? [LAUGHS.]

ALL: We're gonna have a good day Look at it.
Gorgeous! Boy, isn't that something? I'm sick of stopping every ten seconds to go pee.
In Thailand, they all ride around in these things called tuk-tuks, which is kinda like an Uber except without windows, seat belts, safety.
Ooh, pineapple.
Mmm! Oh! God dang, that scared me.
So this probably is not gonna end well, but it will end fun.
What do you think, guys, race? - [CLUCKING.]

You want some of this? - Come on, let's go! - Get on 'em, baby! [LAUGHING.]

Eat my dust, loser! [LAUGHING.]
We're missing the culture! - Whoo-hoo! - Stop it! Can you believe this? Look at Shatner.

I didn't know you'd get all "Bill Shatner" on me, - you know, with all - No.

I'm petrified of needles, and this is all needles, so my honest, simple question is, "Is it gonna hurt?" - Yeah, it will.
- Yeah? Well, that was comforting.
- That's it? - Yep.
Can I get a pain level from you? Like, one to ten? [LAUGHS.]
Yeah, about ten.
Terry's freaking out.
Hey, what is that stuff they give you in a dentist's office? Seriously, I'm having trouble breathing over here.
But in all seriousness, I haven't told anyone or Terry what I'm gonna get yet.
But I do know he's gonna be really flattered and it's gonna blow his mind.
[EXHALES.]
Golly.
Boy, I am so nervous.
Someone put a blood pressure monitor on me.
What are you, a thousand years old? Shut up! Loud-mouth 30-year-old.

- Amazing, isn't it? - It's just the culture.
Maybe we should've got three tuk-tuks.
Tuk-tucked in the middle here.
I'm happy to celebrate my birthday here in Phuket with my buddies.
I guess you could say this is my "tucket" list.
- Come on, guys.
- Where we headed? There it is.
That's what I'm talking about.
Terry, I've got the perfect birthday gift for you.
Have you ever fought Muay Thai, George? Never, never, never.

Well, with your right hand, no wonder.
[LAUGHS.]
Boys, we are going in.

- [WOMEN CHEERING.]
[CROWD CHEERING.]
Are you ready to rumble? Whoa! - Oh! - [SCREAMS.]
Whoa! Muay Thai, also known as "The art of eight limbs.
" The hands become a sword and knife.
The shins and the forearms act as armor.
The elbow is used as a hammer.
Oh! Legs and knees become the axe and staff.
Oh! The body grapples for an opening to take their enemy to the ground to kill.
[CROWD CHEERING.]

Take it easy, Bill! We didn't get to say good-bye to this idiot.
This just dawned on me.
[LAUGHS.]
Thailand is where I said he'd be checking out.
- You called it.
- I know.
I'm afraid of dying.
He doesn't know this, but we picked the country we thought he would not make it out of alive.
I don't wanna be the first to go.
I think he's going down on Thailand.
- [ECHOING.]
- Thailand.
I just didn't know George would be the one murdering him.
- [LAUGHS.]
- I thought he was gonna die from natural diseases or something.
I know.
- Are you ready? - No.
No, no, no.
- Punch him in the pacemaker! - Oh! Oh! Oh, no, no, no.
Try and knock me out, George.
How hard can that be? Oh! Ah! - Jab, jab, jab! - Oh! Oh! Oh! Has Bill lost his mind? Okay, hold it.

I love elephants.
- I was down in the library.
- Yeah.
I did research on this.
It's the adventure of the trip.
- This is the jungle, gentlemen.
- I love the jungle.
This is where the amoeba are that swim up your penis, and they have to go in with little baskets - Ugh.
- To scrape them out.
Hey, I'll try anything once.
Let's do this.
The only thing good about that is how long it takes to get them out.
[LAUGHING.]
Or in my case, how long it takes them to get up.
I never thought I'd hear so much about your guys' penises.
There's a bend in the river coming up, so I suggest we follow it, okay? Actually, there's no choice, right? So here we are on the big Taeng River, and this river is part of the history of the country.
And that's what WE'RE HERE FOR: the history.
Thank you very much.
That was so beautiful.
Oh, my goodness.
Hello, elephants.

- Sugar Cane.
I'm Henry.
Hi! I cannot believe I'm standing in front of one of these things.
- How cool is that? - Hello, Natalie.
Hello.
Elephants have one of the highest intelligences that we know.
They may even be superior in many ways to human beings.
[LAUGHING.]
They've got all this ability to communicate both locally and thousands of miles.
Why would they have that unless they were saying things that were meaningful? He's giving me a signal in shaking.
He's vibrating.
We don't understand elephants yet.
What a marvelous place to investigate.
You're big.
Man, you're really big.
- Me! - We can ride? I wanna ride.
The one thing that I really wanted to do on this trip was to be up close to an elephant.
- [SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE.]
- Yeah.
- Grab the ear.
- Hold that.
- Yeah.
- And then kick the legs.
- Kick the leg.
- Kick the legs.

And then, step there.
Okay, up.
Up.
Okay.

Whoo! I've never felt like this before.

- Can you take it off? - No.
- No.
- You know why they wear 'em? - No.
- For beauty.
- Yes, I can see that.
It's also for protection from either a tiger bite or bad spirits' bites.
- Of course you would know that.
- Of course.
This little, tiny house is every bit as big as my grandmother's house, which was just a tiny, tiny kitchen with a wood stove.
- Where? Where? Where? - In Sparta, Tennessee.
Right now? You're saying this house right here.
- Just I'm not exa - I understand.
- It was just that small.
- Did you go to it? - I understand.
- Oh, yeah.
And they had a creek like this that my dad damned up himself and used for a swimming hole.
This just this is pretty amazing.
What am I doing? I'm acting like Bill Shatner now.
God forbid I do that.
That's cr Sorry.
Sorry.
Hey, guys, look.
Got a guitar.
Oh, no.
Grand Ole Opry here! It looks like I've stumbled up on a tribal jam session.
- [SINGING IN NATIVE LANGUAGE.]
- Whoa.
[GENTLE ACOUSTIC GUITAR MUSIC.]
Look at that.
That's homemade.
- Wonderful.
- Okay.
That was great.
Thank you.
Thank you.
You, um Don't mind if I do.
I was walking in the village One night with my friends I walked across some women Wearing a big ol' happy grin Listening to Terry sing for five weeks, I wish we could put a couple of rings around his neck.
Now let's all do harmony.
[OFF-KEY GUITAR MUSIC.]
Please, Lord, make it stop.
- Hoo - I told you [THUNDER CRASHING.]
[CHILDREN SCREAMING, ROOSTER CROWING.]
Oh, my God! Okay.
Okay.
Now we're in a, uh - Wow, look at this rain.
- Now it's a little heavy.
Sweet Jesus.
[THUNDER RUMBLING.]
This is something else.
- [BRIGHT ACOUSTIC GUITAR MUSIC.]
- Whoop.
She likes it.
I've done a lot of things in my life, but this trip - [LAUGHING.]
- You've destroyed my weapon.
Has put everything in perspective.
[WOMEN VOCALIZING.]
[SQUEALS.]
[LAUGHING.]
Whoa.
I never dreamed of seeing anything like this.
Whoa! Right through the legs! It is invigorating 'cause you're seeing people live life to its fullest without asking for an awful lot other than a good family, their health.
People have millions of dollars and are never satisfied or happy.
These people are.
[SQUEALING.]
You want me to go away? Look.
I'm moving away.
- Look at that.
- There you go.
[WOMEN VOCALIZING.]
- Ooh.
- [BABBLING.]
- [LAUGHING.]
- Wait, wait, wait.
Wait a minute.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
- Uh-oh.
- [LAUGHING.]
He's picking up sticks now.
I quit.
- Bye-bye.
- Bye.
- Bye.
- Bye.
I was a little reluctant to leave the hotel.
But this village I really wouldn't want to be anywhere but right here right now.
Definitely made this trip worthwhile.
Bye-bye.
Wow! I want to know more about what Bill feels instead of about what Bill knows.
How do you feel? [CLEARS THROAT.]
[LAUGHING.]
[ROCK MUSIC.]
["BANG BANG" PLAYING.]
Well, we survived, uh, four countries, six cities, and, I think we all agree, around 25,000 stories from Bill.
At least.
- Bang bang into the room - I know you want it - Bang bang all over you - I'll let you have it Here we are at the last dinner.
Yes.
The lana dinner.
I've never seen anything like this in my life.
Wow.
- Holy cow.
- I'm speechless.
I don't believe it.
I want you to know I've never been so happy in my life that I'm sitting at this table after what we did together.
I never spend time with people.
- I'm a loner.
- Yeah? But that was the best part of it, was spending time with each of you.
Walking up those stairs.
- To Mount Fuji? - Mount Fuji.
I'd run out of energy.
I hadn't done that kinda exercise in years.
Show me the mountain! And I wanted to stop, but Henry came up and just lifted me and I got all my strength back.
I made it! I made it! - And look at that.
- That is gorgeous.
This trip made me about as strong as I've ever been in my life.
["SWEET DISPOSITION" PLAYING.]
I really learned that I can do anything.
The day you retire is the day you start dying.
- That is true.
I believe that.
- Don't ever retire.
And Mr.
Shatner, he's living proof that load the docks, baby.
Load the wagons and keep it going.
Kinda came into this thing mentally kicking and screaming.
Oh! I'm not eating that [BLEEP.]
.
- You're being a child.
- Yeah, baby! But this trip really did change my life.
Welcome to Kyoto, boys! And for all of you right now that are sitting back and you're eating potato chips Oh, God, would I have loved potato chips on this trip! I encourage you, get up and explore the world.
Hello, everyone.
Ahh! It will change you.
And Shatner's right, change is good.
But don't tell him that.
I'll say one thing.
I wanna know more about what Bill feels instead of about what Bill knows.
- Nobody asked me.
- How do you feel? - [CLEARS THROAT.]
- [LAUGHING.]
In my somewhat longer life than yours, I have never and would never have experienced what we have done together.
Hah! Oh! Five weeks, living with somebody 24 hours a day Why do I think of peaches? [LAUGHS.]
Will either make you or break you.
This made it for me, in terms of friends.
[ALL LAUGHING.]
I look forward to sitting at another table, wherever it may be, with the four of you.
- Hear, hear! - Good toast.
Surrender Cheers.
Here's to the big time.
["CECILIA AND THE SATELLITE" PLAYING.]
All right, I'm lighting mine.
One of things they do in Thailand, when you're at the end of your journey, you make a wish, you write it down, you put it in the lantern and the lantern takes it into the heavens.
Hey, guys, we got ours lit.
How you doing? The paper is too close to the flame.
How's that? We also sent one floating down a river.
Remember that? What happens when it catches on fire? Oh, my God! - Whose is that? - That's yours.
Look at it burning up.
- [LAUGHING.]
- Poor Bill.
Okay, let it go.
See what happens.
Best wishes.
Oh, they're all around us.
- Look at this.
- Magic.
How wonderful is this night.
Well, we did it.
Oh oh-oh oh oh-oh - [THUDDING.]
- Oh! [BLEEP.]
The five of us came on this journey to learn about a culture we didn't understand.
Oh, my God! - Oh! Oh! - [YELLS.]
What we didn't expect was that we would learn about ourselves and each other.
- If I could fly - Whoa! - Than I would know - This is style, man.
[LAUGHTER.]
What life looks like from up above And down below We started off in Los Angeles as friends, and we're going back to our home as family.
- I'm the satellite - Oh oh-oh oh oh-oh And you're the sky Look how beautiful this is.
What is the reason we did this? - To make a wish.
- The wish is for more and greater adventures.
- Put it right here.
- Right there.
- Right there.
- Right there.
One, two, three! [ALL YELL.]
Oh oh-oh oh oh-oh Well, a lot of wishes out there.
Look! It's catching on fire! Oh, my God! Kidding.
[LAUGHING.]
And you're the sky
