PHOENIX — For those of us who call Arizona home, we know how beautiful our state is and how lucky we are to live in the Grand Canyon State.
We also know the dangers of living in the desert, but a pair of Internet-famous Brits are learning the hard way.
Josh and Jase have millions of followers on TikTok and took to the social media site to document their first visit to Arizona.
Let's rewind a little bit. Their trip started in Las Vegas, but they got bored. So why not come to Arizona? It's a place of myth. And, as Josh and Jase have found out, lots of pointy and dangerous things.
Why not try to pet a javelina? Or go hiking without water? They had an encounter with something that might have been a snake or maybe was a Gila monster, but was definitely a reptile.
Arizonans were quick to react to the pair's rookie mistakes. One man asked if the boys needed a babysitter. Another asked where their American chaperone was.
After seeing their story on 12News, Josh and Jase took to TikTok, seemingly gracious the station was worried about their well-being.
12News reached out to Josh and Jase to ask how the rest of their trip went. We have yet to hear back.
And we're kind of worried about them.
