Dude, I was looking back on our episode list of podcasts.
Yeah, how long ago was it?
And the last one we did is technically now the first podcast.
It's technically podcast number one.
Is it?
Because I deleted, like, 35 episodes that we did with Ben.
So by default, you're number one.
So now by default, you're number one.
Sick.
How long ago was that?
That had to have been like, that was like three years ago?
Three years ago?
Three and a half years ago.
It's got to be.
Sheesh.
Two and a half years ago.
other room. So what do you been up to, bro? What's been going on? Oh, just filming. Trying to
film, stay on top of social media, watching it change and get super saturated. It's dog shit.
It's dog shit. You're not a TikToker yet? I can't do it. I just won't do it. No. No, it's tough.
It's like take everything excellent you've ever made and like just shove it down people's
throats in the most consumable, quick way possible.
It seems like it's like taking the art away from everything almost.
Yeah.
Even when I see like something that's incredibly well shot,
it's like I'm having a seizure because it's like,
like they have so much going on.
I don't know.
TikTok has to captivate attention spans of like.
Yeah, you get lost in there for sure.
I was watching a video earlier today,
the one that we did at that little pump concert
where we dressed you up like a little pump.
Yeah, that was such a sick video.
It was.
did really good.
On the, the
version of it that I posted on
Concrete, the top
comment is
guys,
or it was like,
all caps,
do you guys know
this is Tifu's
biological brother?
Dude,
do we know?
The internet is so weird now.
Yeah,
dude,
like I got a bunch of comments
on America's got talent.
Like,
that's Tifu's brother.
I'm like,
oh my gosh.
I don't know.
That'll haunt you forever.
I'm the trampoline guy.
I'm Tupu's brother.
How many discounts does USAA auto insurance offer?
Too many to say here.
Multi-vehicle discount.
Safe driver discount.
New vehicle discount.
Storage discount.
How many discounts will you stack up?
Tap the banner or visit usa.com slash auto discounts.
Restrictions apply.
It's weird.
That's one of the craziest things about like meeting people.
I like asking them what video they saw or like what they like that I've done if somebody
like comes up and says they like
our stuff, just the wide range
of shit that I've heard is crazy.
Really? You typically ask people? I'm proud of a lot
of stuff and then somebody will be like
you have the time that
you let your friend on fire and then hit him
in the face with a water balloon. I'm like
holy shit. That's what you remember.
It's funny.
The backyard at your dad's house is just
kind of like a cesspool
of just wild, crazy shit.
Yeah. Always.
Yep. I don't think that'll ever
stop. Hopefully we'll keep doing stuff there forever.
And it had to have been so crazy too, like,
because there was that one time, that one point, like,
three years ago when, uh, like you had the whole trampoline video series just going
off and that was like the most popular thing on the internet.
And then out of nowhere,
your brother's social media just started just like creeping up and creeping up
and just like skyrocketing out of nowhere.
Insane.
Yeah, that trampoline versus was cool because, uh,
The one thing that I'll always take out of that is that we got number one most subscribed channel for the day, two days in real.
Really?
Yeah, above Putie Pie, above every creator on the platform for two days.
That was kind of like, that wasn't even that long ago, and it was just like, it seems like it was.
And now people are ripping it off.
Are they?
There's another channel that does the exact same thing that I did, like three or four years ago on his channel, and he's getting more views than I did when I did it.
And it's just dedicated to the trampoline shit.
He didn't credit me in anything.
So I just took the idea and made it his own.
There was a couple channels that actually their channel was made off of the
Trampoline versus series.
Really?
Yeah, that's pretty crazy.
Limitation is the highest form of flattery, right?
Yeah.
What I was going to say, it was like that time when we were doing that,
it seems like YouTube was a completely different place,
like a completely different website back then you know it was and it is it's yeah it's insane
especially like all the like now all it is just i feel like it's just people it's just like
all it can be is a certain type of just like bullshit content and so much of it is curated and
censored yeah i used to uh i mean i used to use youtube almost every day from 2006 until like
you know currently you know i would uh before i uploaded anything on youtube i was watching stuff
on YouTube a lot, you know?
And, yeah, it was like,
you could just type in whatever you want.
And, like, it would always feed you something cool.
It seems like you guys use E-BOM's World when you're...
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
I was the shit.
I was addicted to that one.
I was, like, 13 or, like, 12.
I don't even know how young I was.
The prank call voices, the soundboards.
Yeah, it's everything.
Oh, yeah, all the soundboards.
Oh, man.
That was a wild time.
That was a good sight.
Is it still around?
Yeah, oh, yeah.
Is it exists?
Is it exists?
Oh, yeah.
I haven't searched that site for probably 15 years.
Really?
I still check up on it every now.
Remember World Star Hip Hop?
World Star Hip-hop?
World Star was just always dog shit, though.
I remember when that was like a thing that you wanted,
you would want your video to get picked up by World Star.
I mean, you still do.
People, a lot of people still use it.
It's just, I don't know.
They just, I can't follow pages that post more than five things a day.
Or else it's just like, it just seems ridiculous.
I don't even know how anything works.
anymore. Like, I miss when
YouTube, Instagram and Twitter all used to be like chronological,
you know? Oh, yeah.
Especially Instagram. No, it's not.
I heard the Instagram went back to it.
No, no, I'll still be scrolling
through and I'll get a post from like four days
ago next to a post that was like a couple
hours ago. Huh. Yeah.
How often are you posting?
I try
a couple times a week, no matter what.
You know, no matter what. I try to, I've been trying to post on
Instagram every day. Everybody's making money on
short-form content right now, like getting
budgets for their reels or getting
paid. I don't, I just
it's so hard. I mean, I try to
do it because I see everyone else doing it, and I
acknowledge that, like, if you're not,
if you get on your feed on Instagram,
you're going to see 15 videos and maybe
like two pictures, you know? It's all
reels. It's just pushing reels to everyone
right now. So when I see that, I'm like,
all right, I'll post some reels, but
the real bummer is my hard drive with like
36 terabytes of footage that has
like a good couple of years of
really good content on it just stopped working.
So right when I was about to just crank out a bunch of
a bunch of reels, that happened.
And the problem with reels is you have to,
anything that's filmed like high quality,
that's not, you know,
that's horizontal, you know,
and not vertical,
it's going to look like dog shit on a reel.
Like, everything that I've filmed for the last 13 years,
I have to crop it.
That's a super like fish eye.
Yeah, it just looks terrible.
So you either have to create new content for reels
or you have to make your old content look kind of shitty
and it's just like, I'm just hoping that this is just a phase
and that people get really bored of short form content very quickly.
I've been trying to upload on YouTube a bunch and it's been going well.
Yeah, it's like everybody's scrambling just to adapt to whatever, like, the new hot thing is.
Like if it's Instagram Reels or if it's TikToks or you got to be on TikTok,
oh, you got to do YouTube shorts.
Like everyone's always, everyone's always telling me wherever I go, like, what I have to be doing.
You know what I mean?
It's crazy. The people that have no talent are becoming super famous, too.
Super famous.
I think that that's a problem.
Really?
Yeah, like, I mean, not no talent, you know, there's some talent.
Like, look at the Dimeleos, like, honestly.
Who was that?
The two TikTok sisters, you don't know who the Dimeleos are?
Uh-uh.
Charlie and Dixie Dimeleo.
They was, like, awesome.
That's your cute.
Awesome.
You know them?
700 million followers on everything.
Really?
They're massive, and I don't do.
They do it.
They dance.
They dance.
They dance.
They definitely dance.
Oh, I know who they are.
They got offered their own reality show too, right?
Followers, $130 million.
Jesus.
Yeah, it's insane.
I hosted a panel for them at Playlist Lott.
I was the moderator of a panel before they really blew up.
I don't know.
It's just like I see the most famous people on platforms like TikTok, and I'm like,
like this is not my place.
Like, I do not belong here.
I make better content than this.
If these are the top people on the platform,
I don't want to be here.
What about the island boys?
What about them?
They got fucking so absurdly famous.
I don't know that they did, though.
I feel like a lot of people were really just making fun of them.
Yeah.
Like, if they show up in public,
they get booed everywhere they go.
Yeah, that's true.
Yeah, did you see them show up for that fight?
I'm not envious.
of people like that at all.
But they could slowly turn the tanker.
Couldn't they?
Over a long period of time,
they could slowly turn the ship
to where people are kind of laughing with them
in a couple years versus laughing at them.
They're just so unlikeable.
You watch them on podcasts.
And they're so dumb too, right?
They get so offended.
Yeah, they just don't have like the depth
or like the, I don't know,
just the life experience to have like an understanding
of just any,
I'll grasp on anything.
I don't know.
They just, they got, you see them on the Jake Paul podcast?
Yeah.
Or the Logan Paul podcast?
He didn't he try to fight one of the guys?
He just got, they just got super.
You know I'm thugging, right?
Yeah, I just, I can't get on board with people like that.
I just don't, you know, I don't hang out with people like that.
I can't endorse people like that.
You know, I wish everyone the best.
I think that that's very important part of life, especially the people that, like,
treat you the worst.
You know, wish everyone well, but, like, I don't have to condone that or endorse that.
No.
Yeah, they made, they make it,
making Florida look bad.
Do you ever, like,
and they're from Florida, too?
Do you ever, like,
stress out about, like, what kind of content you want to make
or, like, what types of videos you want to make next?
Or do you just kind of just do whatever you want
and just, like, film it?
And if it turns out good, you just decide to post it.
It's like, yes and no, you know,
I always want to make really good content,
but I don't stress it because I feel like we've made so much content over the years.
And, like, we've consistently, in my opinion,
and uploaded really good content
over the course of like eight years, you know?
Like, even if we take a long break from doing something,
like, you know, in like the most comments that I got
about the Jigswad channel being dead was,
like, no when?
It was like right before we did Holly Boob.
And like, there's all these people like,
oh, you guys are washed up, you know, like blah, blah, blah, this and that.
And like, people are going to say everything, you know?
And it's hard to not focus on the bad comments,
but once you, like, take a break from uploading,
like there's going to be people that are going to talk a lot of shit.
And then we like do the holly boob stunt and prank and pull it off.
And it's like on every news station and like getting millions of views across all these different platforms.
And it's just like...
For people that aren't familiar with the holly boob, give us a quick rundown on what that was about.
Oh, we...
Pull it up, Boston.
We gave the Hollywood sign a boob job.
Hell yeah.
That's what I'll say.
Everyone in L.A. has got a boob job.
We figured we just, you know, help the town out a little bit and turn it into Hollyboob.
They just changed it recently.
for a...
Yeah, Rams house.
It looks like shit.
I was gonna say,
I saw that and I thought of you,
I was like,
Jack did this way better.
Yeah, yeah,
we did it better in like 20 minutes.
Bad.
What happened?
They did what?
They changed it to let's go Rams or something?
It says Ram's house.
A Rams house.
Yeah.
But it was like barely even legible.
Yeah, this is the raw footage.
And you got a...
Did you get arrested during this?
Yeah, I still have community service
because of this actually.
Wow.
Yeah.
That's my buddy Ricky.
He was actually,
uh,
he wasn't even supposed to,
to help with the holly boob prank he was just coming out there to do a bigfoot stunt with me
oh this is the super bowl oh shit straight to the super bowl random super bowl clip i have no idea
what it's a mashup oh my god somebody else's page that ripped your shit oh no this is your page
is it oh yeah you just decided to throw in some i don't remember maybe it was just oh that was just
the intro i was just talking about what was going to
on in the future probably.
But this is like the raw footage
of the holly boob sign, but
yeah, I went to jail for this.
What did they charge you with?
Just trespassing.
It's trespassing.
No vandalism?
Huh?
No, no, because we didn't actually do
anything to the sign.
It was just placed there.
We didn't like paint on it
or anything.
True.
Yeah, we got that thing up there
in a baby stroller.
They got to push a baby stroller
up a mountain with
that giant tarp, the size of a body,
that weighed like 100 pounds.
That was the only way, because we actually tried this twice.
This was the third attempt.
We tried it twice in the middle of the night and almost got caught.
We were trying to sneak up the mountain, and they were shining lights at us,
and they brought in a helicopter.
We all, like, scattered, like, cockroaches.
So you had to do it during the day.
Yeah, so we were like, all right, we had to rethink it.
We were like, all, we'll do it during the day.
Broad daylight.
We're going to start from the top and start at the bottom and just rush it and try to do it quickly.
Wow.
Yeah, but on that topic, like, I don't worry about making content because I feel like we've made so much content that there's always going to be people that are going to check back because we're always like the best is yet to come.
You know, we're always going to keep making videos.
I feel like there's just always going to be people that are going to want to check back on what we're doing, whether it's a week from now, a month from now, a year from now.
I think that we've established a pretty core audience and everything that we've done.
So, you know, I always want to keep content outflow out, but I also have been really wanting to focus on like big,
projects like maybe doing a
stand-up routine or
like buying land and opening Megalodon
Ranch and allowing people to
come hunt for Shark Steeth with us and
you know maybe make some documentaries
I have a couple crazy ideas
for documentaries just like... Really?
Yeah just...
Like documentaries that you were released on your
YouTube page? No, I'd want to
I'd want to like shop them
on the platforms like you know maybe get something
on Netflix or
Hulu, whatever, anybody who's interested
Yeah.
Netflix is so crazy, dude.
There's, like, there's so many fucking shows on Netflix.
It's almost impossible.
Like, how could they, there's so many fucking, like, long-form series on Netflix that come out every single day.
It's hard to keep up with all of them.
They want content, though, you know, and they're a good place to release content,
and they're actually paying pretty well.
Like, if you're an influencer that has, like, a really good docu-series or documentary, something like that,
they'll actually pay you good money to release it on their platform because you're going to be bringing your fan base.
to their platform.
Do you know of anybody
who's transitioned from YouTube
to Netflix
as far as like
career-wise or content-wise?
Sam Macaroni.
He's the guy that directed
Guest House that movie
that I was in.
He made YouTube videos
for a really long time
and he's a full-time director.
Okay.
That's something I've always
been interested in too
is just like getting into
shooting some real content
while everybody's out there
making 15-second TikToks.
So I want to like learn the ropes
of the film industry.
maybe like shoot some really sick documentaries.
Like deck hands.
That shit was awesome.
That was my favorite series.
That's my favorite series.
That's my favorite shit.
Ever and like that's some shit they easily could go on Netflix that people would enjoy, you know?
Yeah.
And like, I don't know.
I've been going to Mexico for 10 years straight.
Like, even talking about Turner, like, I feel like that's a crazy documentary too.
Like, I don't think anyone on the platform, on YouTube, in history,
has ever gone from 100,000 subscribers to 10,000.
million as quickly as Turner did.
I don't think it's ever happened.
No, dude.
It can't.
It was so crazy.
He went so nuclear.
So fast.
Dude, it was insane.
Like, world famous, like, in one year.
From being a kid that was playing video games, like, in the back room of the house, you know, it's just...
I know.
Didn't even make sense.
Like, he didn't care about anything.
Like, the crazy thing I always tell people about him is just, like, like, a lot of people
just try to chase all the trends, you know?
He did the opposite of that.
Yeah.
He did the opposite of that.
stayed in his room and he kept playing
video games and then one video
game came about that just happened
to be the kerosene to the
fucking match. But you just
cannot deny his
fucking skill too. He is so
so nuts. He just won in Apex Legends
which rivals tournament. It was a huge tournament.
He doesn't play Apex Legends
very often and like
he certainly doesn't practice it
at a pro level, you know? And he's
a, there's a clip that just went
viral of um yeah they're doing like the the interview of the finals and they're like asking him
a question and he just tornadoed a beer on stream like on the twitch rivals like live stream
yeah he's like talking shit too like i don't understand how you can not play the game like on a
professional level and not his in-game IQ yeah he just outsmarts everyone it doesn't matter how
mechanical you are he'll like he's just smarter yeah he'll just do some shit he's one
I think he's more like 40 or 50 steps ahead.
I've watched you.
Have you ever seen the,
the poves of like his fingers when he's playing?
Yeah.
Do you remember right before he blew up like right before he blew up?
Like right before he blew up.
I made that little video.
Yeah, the little documentary.
The 10 minute documentary.
Yeah, it got millions of views.
Now it has like five million views.
Yeah.
But that was like right.
That was like the day I uploaded that was like the day he officially joined phase.
Yeah.
And so I remember he's like,
oh, I got to just.
change the intro. I can't just say Tifu. I got to say phase Tifu. I was like, that was kind of,
kind of weird. But then, um, right after that, I mean, we are filming, I remember filming him on his
keyboard and his mouse and he had his keyboard instead of normal. He had it vertical. Yep. He had his
keyboard turned like that. Yep. And he's like, like this. Yep. So I don't know what that was.
Like, he says more room for the mouse or what? It's just better for his arm to like rest. It's just more
natural than like being over here i suppose i don't know he he like he was a real trailblazer for
for gamers as a whole he was trying shit that nobody's ever tried before like you know how you can
bind your keys now like when you play a game like w-esd whatever like yeah those are the keys
that run forward and side to side and back and forth um he would completely start from scratch and
just like go through all these steps in his head and he's
head to try to figure out what binds would just be the most efficient possible.
And it's not like it's something that you, it's like playing style.
You know, it's like whatever you do the most, you need to be the easiest to access,
but then you need to like balance everything out as well.
Like I couldn't possibly go that into depth about it.
But that alone, like that takes a lot to set up all your keys and all your guns and all
your commands like from scratch.
He's like, yeah, I just changed my binds.
It's going to take me like three to four weeks.
to get used to him.
And he'll just train and like reset his brain to understand his keyboard differently.
And just fucking destroy everyone, you know?
Insane.
The amount of focus that goes into that.
It's also like intuitive too.
Like he just does it.
He doesn't even have to think about it.
Right.
Yeah.
But he like he does it so much.
And he like he focuses so for such a long period of time on that shit.
It's like it's just I admire just that level of focus.
on one thing, you know?
I mean, he's, I can, we'll never be able to wrap my head around the fact that he is,
he won more tournaments than anyone has ever won by far, by like a long shot in
Fortnite.
And Fortnite's the most popular game that's ever been created in mankind.
There's never been anything more popular than that.
To be the best at the most popular game that's ever been made, like that's, shit,
that still will never make sense to me.
Yeah.
Didn't Ninja move to Florida?
Probably.
I heard that he did.
Yeah, I think so.
Yeah, because Jessica posted that she was in Florida too.
Everybody loves Florida.
Everyone's moving to Florida.
Everybody's moving to Florida.
Yeah, Nick Merck's already lived here.
I think Tim the Tattman moved here.
It wouldn't surprise me if Ninja did too.
But, you know, Turner reps Florida pretty hard,
so I feel like Tyler's probably been kind of quiet about it.
Yeah, yeah.
He also, you know, he got abused.
Like, you don't want to...
Oh, man, he went through some shit, too.
Dude it.
Ninja, like...
He was top dog and Turner, like, completely dethroned him, like, to where it wasn't even...
Have you guys seen the KSI Tifu versus Ninja video?
No.
Oh, my God.
It's one of the funniest things I've ever seen.
Yeah, you should throw that on real quick.
KS.I. Ninja versus Tifu.
Do you guys know who KS.
Yeah, I know who is?
one of the biggest YouTubers on the planet.
Yeah, he did a little commentary.
It needs volume, though.
Oh, I think I have seen this a long time ago.
And how many views does this have?
Seven million.
Yeah, then Turner reacted to it, and it got another, like,
yeah, 14 million on Turner's channel.
Oh, my God.
And the reaction.
This is literally a video of, like, KSI kind of just shitting on Ninja,
but, like, without having to because Turner, like,
I don't know.
You got to watch at least the first minute to do this.
Dude, snapping.
You don't hear much about Fortnite these days.
It's because nobody plays it.
No?
No. What does everybody play now?
I have no idea.
I don't play anything.
No?
Do you think there's going to be, like, a next big Fortnite?
Yeah, 100%.
It's got to be something.
Yeah, it's going to be something that's VR-based, I bet, though.
VR.
Yeah, it's going to be a huge, like a VR game that, like, everyone's addicted to.
I remember this clip right here.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, he's fucking spamming him with the rocket launcher.
This is the first time they ever matched up.
Yep.
Oh, yeah, he gets that.
He gets up this fucking game, dude.
Yeah, it's Tifu.
He killed me.
No, what's really funny is, like,
there's actually a clip in here where Turner...
Skip forward a couple of minutes?
It's when Turner's dressed as a chicken.
Yeah, yeah, right here.
Yeah, somewhere right in there.
Yeah, check this out
This shit is hilarious
Is that a hacker?
He doesn't even react
Oh yeah, he took out his whole squad
Yeah, he killed watches this though
So yeah, Turner took out
Two of Ninja's boys already
Ninja calls him a hacker
But this is so funny
Oh yeah, he says he's hacking
AimBot
Yeah, but they're both live streaming too
So like
Oh, that's hilarious
I'm reporting you bro, reporting you
Oh, does he really say that?
Yeah
Oh shit
So are all their people that are like
In their live chat are they're like jumping back and forth saying oh my god
It's Tifu it's Tifu
Yeah so ninja was just like focused on the fight so he wasn't paying attention
Yeah people people mess with ninja all the time
Yeah
Because Turner had already killed him a couple times
Oh that was a crazy ad place
Gobble Gobble Gobble Gobble
He's flying to the air on fucking balloons
So Turner died there
Oh, so Turner died
He didn't actually go to him.
Didja was like, all right, bro,
be sure to go to the theater and report your ass.
Literally didn't miss a shot the entire time.
Colin of a hacker.
When he sees the chat,
everyone's like, that's deep.
So, sit.
It's so funny, too, how he, like,
somehow does those crazy, like, trick maneuvers.
Yeah, he tried to trick shot him.
He knew he was going to die,
but he figured if he could get, like, the, you know,
the kill on that, it'd be, like, a good clip.
Turner plays for entertainment, you know,
he wasn't playing to, like,
Right.
He was actively trying to kill somebody.
But he doesn't, he like doesn't even react.
When most kids would be like, oh my God.
He just like he's just like stone-faced after he does it.
Yeah.
And the Ninja realizes that he just called him a hacker when really he's just like,
I don't know, Turner's so much better than Ninja that like to Ninja, he's cheating.
Yeah.
Because it doesn't seem possible.
Did they even play the same game anymore?
Like what is the game they play now?
So they've known each other for years before.
Fortnite. They used to play PubG against each other.
Yeah, and I don't really know what Ninja's doing now.
I know he's still live streams. He's probably just playing games just for fun,
because Tim the Tatman and him are really good friends.
Like, he helped him blow up. So I'm sure they're live streaming together still.
I still see him live every now and then, but with, I don't know.
I really enjoyed watching Fortnite.
I think it was one of the most enjoyable games to watch as a viewer that was, like, ever created.
I think some of the end games in Fortnite were some of the most exciting things to watch.
the tournaments that they would have.
Oh, yeah.
So sick.
Seeing high pro-level players stacked on top of each other, like going to the end zones,
like strategies for that was so nuts.
And it was so cool to watch, like, all the comms between teams and everything.
And now it's just too saturated.
They added too much bullshit.
Yeah.
I think if there was, like, a Fortnite 3.0 that was, like,
it would have to be something, like, revolutionary to gaming, you know?
Like, maybe a VR version of Fortnite or something like that.
Because I just think the building aspect was really cool
Until the pros can't
Like mastered the mechanics
And then like me as an average player
That's just trying to relax and have fun
Like I'm watching somebody who's insane at building
Like I'm probably gonna get smoked
You know
Yeah
But I don't know
The gaming world's crazy
I'm definitely
Waiting for the next big thing
I'm very interested to see
When a massive game is going to be released
And tied to like a cryptocurrency
because I think that that's in the future for gaming.
Well, there are a ton of those play-to-earn games.
Yeah, there's a ton, yeah.
But, like, one that, like, Microsoft or, like, Ubisoft or someone like that releases, like, a...
You know, Fortnite attached to, like, that's a play-to-earn game.
The new GTA.
Yeah, yeah, something like that, you know?
Because, I don't know, I think everything's going digital.
Do you fuck around with VR at all, Oculus at all, or...?
A little bit.
I've done it a little bit.
but it doesn't really interest me that much.
Yeah.
I'm more interested in trying to, like, create really good content.
I do watch a lot of movies.
Watch some TV shows, too.
I'm a fan of, like, consuming high-quality, you know, like, movies all that go in the top
100 movies, like, highest.
Like, classic movies?
I mean, just anything I feel like that's highly recommended, you know, something, like,
I have a lot of conversations with my friends about it.
I mean, I recently watched.
Green Book.
You guys seen that one?
Oh, yeah, that's a fucking great movie.
That was one of the best ones.
That's one of my favorite movies I've ever seen.
That was a really good movie.
I enjoyed that.
Hector in The Search for Happiness.
Have you seen that one?
No.
Super Fire movie.
Really?
You've seen a Sean of the Dead?
No.
You've seen that?
It's old, right?
It's like Dawn of the Dead, but it's like a comedy.
It's like the first comedy zombie movie ever.
Oh, no, I have some.
Oh, my God.
You're like throwing records at the zombie.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's that guy.
It's the blonde dude from that.
Or like Hot Fuzz.
Have you seen Hot Fuzz?
No.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I worked at the flea market for like four years.
And I would buy DVDs all the time.
That's like one of the things.
I'd find somebody that's selling like four for a dollar
and I'd get a bunch of really sick movies.
So I've a ton of movies at my house.
And I don't know.
I always wanted to be in movies and make movies.
And that's something that's always excited me.
So I feel like I'm just going to keep learning.
And I've been watching movies kind of from the standpoint of like,
how they're shot, how they're filmed,
looking at the different lighting and whatnot.
Plus getting to be on set
for guest house, like,
I watch them making a movie in front of me.
I'm like, this is something I could,
like I can do, get the right cameraman,
get the right directors,
the right lighting, the right mics.
Like, it's not that hard, you know.
It's just so much work.
It is a lot of work.
And there's so many people.
That's so many fucking,
there's just so much.
It's like, I always think it's like a construction site.
Like, have you ever worked construction?
Have you ever been on a construction site?
It's the same fucking thing.
Yeah.
You've got this fucking crew of electricians that come in an electrical truck
that are in charge of all the wires and all the electric and all that shit.
You have another crew of people who are in charge of setting up the lights.
Another giant crew of people who have the props.
You have the fucking the DP, the directors, the assistant director.
Like, it's just like, I don't know.
It doesn't have to be that complicated, though.
No, the guy that I was Sam Mcaroni, the guy was a YouTuber,
returned, you know, director, he does excellent work.
And he has a really solid team and a really solid crew.
I mean, yeah, there's a lot of moving parts, like, to edit the whole thing.
And, you know, you got to shoot everything and, like, fucking 6K now.
I don't even know what's going on.
I don't even know who has a 6K monitor to watch 6K on, you know?
That's what's crazy, too, is like, nobody has 4K, like, anything.
Nobody consumes, like, this isn't fucking 4K.
You can't fit 4,000 pixels on this tiny screen, you know?
Like, I don't know.
It's so hard to, like, shoot like that one.
I feel like nobody is consuming content on anything but their phones, you know?
Like, I'm a fan of sitting on my couch and putting something on my TV that I can sit down and, like, enjoy, you know?
I think a lot of people are still.
Yeah, I think so, too.
That's why I think TikTok's bullshit.
Yeah, I think the pendulum is in the swing.
It's like a whole narrative, though.
crazy. I don't know. The world's gone mad.
Do you, what do you think? Our lifetimes are going to be nuts. It's insane. What do you think
the future of like YouTube is in general? Like how much long? Do you think YouTube as a shelf
life? Do you think there's a going to be a changing of the guard
when it comes to YouTube? Is there going to be another big platform that takes over?
I hope so.
YouTube is, it's dog shit now. I mean, I love making content for people, but I don't like
the restrictions that YouTube has, you know?
I feel like it's like a freedom of speech thing, you know?
Like, I think one of the worst thing that's ever happened in the history of social media is
deplatforming Trump, you know?
He has his own website now, though.
Yeah, I just think that, like, to take someone's voice away, like, he was still president
when they took, when Twitter deplatform, you know?
like that's like scary censorship that censorship that I think should not exist anywhere you know
because like whatever your stances are of him he should be able to say what he wants to the people
that care enough to follow him you know like because like everyone can choose what they want to read
what they want to watch what they want to listen to you know we for a very long time everyone
was kind of trapped in a box of content consumption like you could only watch what was on
TV or what movies were out.
And, like, as soon as the internet came out, it, like, gave people the ability to search for
whatever they were interested in, you know, whatever they wanted to learn about.
And that's why I'm such a huge fan of it, but, like, when you start taking people's
voices away and start, like, telling people what they can and they can't upload, it's like,
it's, like, the freedom aspect of it goes away.
So, I've heard a lot about Rumble.
You guys know what Rumble is?
Yeah, I think they're based in, like, Sarasota or right down south in the West Coast.
Yep. And they're not censoring people and they're letting people upload the content that they want.
Yeah, well, there's always going to be, that's capitalism, right?
When you see it the wounded, the wounded lion, there's always going to be someone else that's coming up to take over, take a spot.
Yeah.
You know, no matter what, you know, you can say whatever you want.
There's always going to be someone that's going to want to fill that void.
Just blows my mind, like, looking at, thinking back on, I don't know, we've been grinding YouTube forever.
I'm just kind of looking for the next thing, you know.
I really still enjoy filming commentary, and I enjoy uploading videos as they come.
Like, if I go on trips, we go snowboard and surf and do a bunch of awesome stuff.
But, like, public pranks, we haven't done anything like that in years.
Yeah.
We kind of stepped away from all that.
I mean, we did, like, the shark prank.
We did, like, Holly Boob.
The shark prank was so sick.
I want to do, like, super high quality pranks.
Like, yeah.
One of the ideas we have is we're going to take that fake shark fin and, like, hook it up
to Merrick on the beach who's like got a fish on and have him hook up to a big shark.
But we wanted to put in one of those little orange inflatable boats and like have him be like,
oh, it's pulling all my line out.
And he'll get in the boat and start like reeling in and then have the fin come out of the water
and just drag Merrick like a hundred yards down the beach by like a giant fin in a little orange boat.
So we have a couple ideas for pranks that I think are just going to be absolutely magical and like just classic.
Like everyone would love to see something like that.
That would be so cool if you could, like, evolve the pranks and just keep them rolling and just evolve them into something, just like cinema quality pranks.
Oh, we have such good ideas.
We've been working for so long to try to get the news to put fake Bigfoot footage out.
It's been going on for, like, a year.
And, like, we've been, like, sending in Bigfoot sightings from, like, all across South Florida.
and we've actually had a couple of news stations respond,
but they're like, oh,
footage isn't good enough.
If you actually catch something on video,
blah, blah, blah,
send it in next time.
You're the fucking news.
Come on.
We're still working on it.
I think it's going to work,
but, like, I want to prank the whole United States.
I would like to get big foot on every,
on a news station in every state,
and then you could say that you prank the whole country.
I think China's doing a good job of pranking us already.
Oh.
China.
China.
What do you think about World War III?
I think that the people that are in charge are all fucking...
World War III, as we do this podcast right now,
World War III is literally beginning.
Oh, that would suck. I hope not.
Nobody's down for that, though.
Like, the average person does not want, like, war to go to war.
It wasn't as hard to draft people back, like, a hundred years ago because...
Because they rested them if you didn't go.
Yeah, that too, but, like, also, the Internet wasn't around.
You know, there was...
People weren't making all sorts of money.
There's so much information out there.
And there's so much that people have learned and can learn.
And, like, I feel like war is just like it seems so stupid and so foolish.
All the stupid stuff.
No one wants to go shoot people.
Right.
I'm sure there's some psychos out there.
Like, you know, people don't want that, like, for anyone.
And I don't know, war has always been a game about money.
And it's crazy that the richest people that exist are so okay with,
just like such horrible things happening like billionaires have like the ability to really change
the world in some awesome ways they just don't you know and uh i don't understand that i never will
and i never understand like why people listen to these people like i don't know especially with
everything that's going on with covid like people are so quick to just like comply and to just do
what the government says like i don't trust anything the government tells me i think that
It's very important to, like, question authority, you know.
I've seen what the Florida government has done for the water quality,
and they, I can't trust them with how irresponsible they've been with just the quality of our oceans and of our waterways.
Like, they're so incompetent and they're so unwilling to fix such serious problems just because some billion-dollar industry makes a billion dollars here.
What was it, the sugar industry in Florida that was contributing to all the-
That phosphate mining is the worst.
Phosphate mining is the worst thing that is played.
And they funded a lot of Rick Scott's campaign, right?
Of course they did.
Yeah.
And like some of the biggest marine labs for water quality and research in Florida are funded by Mosaic,
which is the multi-billion dollar phosphate company.
And it's just like, as long as that keeps happening, I'm not trusting a word that our government says at all.
Like if they need to give the people a reason to trust them.
You know, I shouldn't have to be persuaded into trusting you.
I should see what you're doing and want to trust you based on the actions that are taken by you, by the government.
You know, they need to do things that people see impacting their communities in a positive way.
And like, all I've seen is dead dolphins and manatees and sea turtles.
So, like, they cannot blame me for not wanting to trust them when they have,
been extremely irresponsible.
And, like, that's just, like, that's just Florida government, you know?
Like, you know, the president knew about what was happening here.
You know, he, he, President Trump signed that, um, I think it was like a billion dollar
bill for a reservoir to be built south of Lake Okeechobee to contain the toxic water.
Like, can you pull up Google Earth for me real quick?
You guys want to see something crazy?
What color is Florida?
What color is?
Yeah, from space.
Green?
Yeah.
It was.
It's not green anymore?
South Florida is not looking too green anymore.
Really?
Yeah, you want to see it?
South Florida is mostly...
South of Lake Ogachovie, the Everglades?
Swamp and mangroves, right?
It used to be.
Let's see it.
Yeah.
Go down a little bit.
Look it past Lake Ogachobi.
Oh, yeah.
The tip is browning a little bit.
Yeah, you see that?
And what is this from?
It's because the historic water flow of Florida goes from north to south.
built a reservoir around the south end of Lake Okeechobe to where water cannot flow from
Lake Okeechobe into the Everglades anymore.
They're sending it east and west.
Right, right.
So the Everglades are drying out because of the restricted water flow.
It's like zoom in to the, yeah, like Big Cypress National Reserve, zoom in a little bit more.
Like it's not looking good.
No.
No, it looks a little dry for sure.
Yeah, for sure.
Have you ever gone down there?
Look at all that
That looks like shit up there
Yeah look at all the agriculture
That's why it's because they don't want
They don't want those
That small city there to flood
People shouldn't live there
For one
And water should be flowing from Lake Okeechobee
Down all the way down there
All the way through
South Florida but it's not
And it hasn't been for you
And what is the reason that they created those
To prevent flooding
Because people are stupid
And when houses flood
We build big walls
and we send water elsewhere.
Doesn't make any fucking sense.
To prevent flooding where, though?
From a small town south of Lake Okeecho.
Oh, okay, okay.
Yeah.
And like, you see all that agriculture?
Like all those farms?
That's like mostly sugar.
But, uh, yeah, those shouldn't be there either.
And water used to flow.
Yeah, streams used to flow.
Like when it would rain too much, you know, water would overflow south.
And I guess there was like a really big hurricane and it just flooded too much.
or something, I don't know, but...
That's what's supposed to happen.
We're restricting the historic water flow in Florida.
It's another huge problem.
And that's because our government's incompetent.
I've ever seen Carlton Ward's page on Instagram?
He is, like, the most legendary Florida photographer, wildlife photographer.
You've got to pull it up.
Look up Carlton Ward's Instagram page.
He's like a super big, really big activist for, like, preserving...
like all the wildlife and like the
undeveloped land in Florida
and I think he just got something passed
or some big bill or law that was just passed
where we had to keep a certain percentage of Florida undeveloped
and like and natural.
I forget what it was called.
Good. But it was Instagram.
Yeah, but you want to see his Instagram.
There is. It's a second link down.
There we go.
This guy is a Florida legend.
he has he takes some of the fucking sickest all his photography is florida he's got he's got like
these super high quality cameras all throughout the everglades throughout all the undeveloped land in
florida he's got like badass trail cams and their motion cameras right so they take like super like
go down to that one of that panther down there right there they made it you sick oh fuck log in
so like he gets these things of all these crazy animals like in the middle of the night just going through his trail cams
and so much of us.
Yeah, everybody who's lived here long enough.
It's like, my biggest thing is
if people don't know they can't care,
so like educating people and what's going on
with our water quality is very important.
Something I try to talk about frequently
through like my YouTube videos,
but every time I post videos about it,
it seems like they're suppressed
and they don't get recommended,
and I don't know, whatever.
That's another conspiracy for another day.
That's another thing I noticed with YouTube,
with this podcast,
is that the,
the amount of people that watch it on YouTube fluctuates so much,
but on Spotify, it's always consistent.
It's always, like, a consistent amount.
Like, the same people that are subscribed to it,
they always listen to it.
But on YouTube, it's the complete opposite.
But, yeah, Carlton Ward's super, super big into this.
He's super big activist for Florida Wildlife.
You guys look at, you guys know about, like, Randall Carlson?
Yeah, he was on this podcast, like a month ago.
You guys had him in here?
Yeah, he was sitting right where you are a month ago.
Really?
Yeah.
No way.
That guy's a legend.
You didn't see it?
No,
I didn't.
I did not catch a one.
You suppressed it.
It's because he's a...
Concrete.
Randall Carlson.
No way you got to sit down with this guy.
It's a freemason.
They suppressed it.
I love this guy.
Dude,
Randall rules, dude.
Dude, did you blow you guys mind
about all the cataclysmic events?
Oh, yeah.
There is.
Oh, my gosh.
What?
I'm sitting in Randall's a fucking chair.
Randall's a fucking legend.
He's a goat.
I would love to just like go on a trip with him to just like some
crazy ex-catechalismic size or something in Tennessee. He's doing some tours in Tennessee right now
where he's touring some, what?
And Portugal. Oh yeah, yeah. So he's going to, um,
why humans need to leave Earth soon? What was his, uh, what was the consensus here? He thinks
that we're fucked? I mean, does the headline have to have anything to do with? Was he talking about
the, uh, the clock?
Was you talking about like the clock where the cataclysmic events like spike?
Like they're way more likely to happen in a short window of time?
Yeah.
He's basically saying that every, I think it was 400 to, no, every 600,000 years,
there is an extinction level event from either volcanoes or asteroids.
No, he's saying every like 13,000 years or so.
No, that's the younger dryest.
every, I think it's, I think it's 600,000 years,
there is either a super volcano, like the one that's underneath Yellowstone,
or an insane asteroid, a group of asteroids that take out and our extinction.
Well, he thinks that's happening soon.
Well, we are in like, we are in like a 100-year window right now of the exact anniversary of the last time Earth was
wiped out by a super volcano.
So volcanoes are one thing.
And we're having some crazy.
And the asteroid's is like, I don't know, I think they cycled every 13, 12 to 13,000
years or something like that.
But yeah, dude, that was a mind-bending podcast.
He is, he does his research.
He's really smart.
I've listened to hours and hours and hours of that guy talk.
I'm definitely going to watch his podcast.
It's a good one.
I bet.
Everything he says is just.
So we talked about...
Takes you on a deep journey into the history of mankind, you know.
Like, he believes that humans have existed for long, long before what the history books say, you know?
Super interesting guy.
We talked about Atlantis, this lost city of Atlantis and where he thinks it is.
And he's going up there to do some filming and to go in a submarine around the Azores.
To try to find Atlantis.
You were the Azores, like the Azores Plateau.
It's like if you go up to Spain and you go directly outside...
out into the middle of the Atlantic.
It's like half away.
It's like almost halfway between Greenland and Spain.
And that's where he thinks Atlantis is.
And he's going to go into a submarine and explore under,
that's where the Azores is.
That's where he thinks the lost city of Atlantis was.
That looks like somewhere that Atlantis would be.
So there's some submerged volcanoes and mountains right there.
Interesting.
And there's some crazy looking shit.
Pull up some photos of the Azores on like Google photo or whatever.
this would be an epic trip for the Jugg Squad.
I think there's surf there too.
Is that where they filmed the beach?
There's good surf there.
It does look like the beach, right?
Get rid of island maybe.
Oh, man.
Yeah, it's just Azores, yeah.
Yeah, there's some insane shit in the Aes.
That'd be so cool.
I hope he discovers something that's like groundbreaking.
It's been like his life's work, you know?
Yeah.
It's rare.
It's rare you find somebody who's dedicated that much of their life to one specific thing, geology.
Yeah, he's been on Rogan's podcast three times, too, I'm pretty sure.
I think it's like seven times.
Is it?
Yeah.
Oh, shit.
But he's, like, so into geography and cosmology.
Like, somebody who knows so much about the history of the earth and rocks, and then so much about the fucking stars and the planets.
He's got it all on paper, too.
Fuck, man.
He compiles, like, so many other people's research, you know.
It takes everything and collects all their thoughts and all their facts and everything that they've learned.
And, yeah, you paint some really cool pictures.
You guys watch the YouTube channel after school.
Spilled with a K.
It's one of my favorite channels that exist on YouTube.
And it's just a guy who's really good at drawing.
And he takes philosophers and politicians and comedians and influencers and influencers and takes, like,
passages of things that they've said, mostly philosophers, and he draws pictures to what they're saying.
Yeah, if you click on any one of his videos.
Yeah, like the last video he made was eight days ago, Terrence McKenna.
I try to watch...
So, you know, I made like a daily goal to watch one of this guy's videos a day because he's just takes so many different wise people's words and makes really cool videos.
Okay, he does these super fast animated videos.
Yep.
He's a really awesome channel, though,
because, I mean, I feel like everything is very, like, inspired, like, enlightened.
Yeah.
Awesome, can turn the air on?
So, yeah, 10.
10 recommend this channel.
If you haven't checked it out.
Just go home and check out his large library of videos
and find something you like and check it out.
You guys are familiar with, like, the Fibonacci sequence then, like,
because Randall Carlson is a big...
I mean, he works.
works with Graham Hancock pretty closely,
and Graham Hancock released the book,
Fingerprints of the Gods.
You guys looked into that stuff?
Yeah, I read Fingerprints of the Gods.
Yeah, Fibonacci is crazy.
Explain it to people.
It's just a series of numbers,
just like one plus two is three,
two plus three is five, so on and so forth.
And then if you take like a one-by-one box
and you put it next to a one-by-two box
and you put it next to a two-by-three box,
yeah, it creates the perfect spiral
that's been seen throughout all of nature, waves, shells, your eye.
You know, it's just, it's undeniable throughout the entire universe.
And if you, like, count the amount of spirals on a pine cone or on a flower or on a tree,
they'll, like, pretty much always add up to one of the Fibonacci sequences.
Like, there's this other YouTube channel of this girl,
and she takes all kinds of fruits and vegetables and peasantables and peasanties.
plants and flowers and pine cones
and she draws on all of the
spirals and counts all of them and they just
always add up to be a Fibonacci number
Really? And what does he equate that to?
Like what does he equate that to? They just call it like
the, they call it like the fingerprint
of the gods. It's just something that
can't be explained yet it's everywhere.
You know?
Is it at all tied into the Anunnaki?
I don't know what that is.
Dude, Randall's a
wild fucking guy.
Randall is a wild fucking guy.
He knows some fucking, like, some of the shit that he told me, like, about the moon and, like, about how the moon could possibly be hollow.
Have you ever heard the story about how they ran a satellite?
Oh, yeah.
And it, like, reverberated for, like, 60 hours or something crazy.
Yes, I did hear about that.
Yeah, rung like a bell.
Yeah.
That's what they said.
Oh, I forgot about that.
There's so much crazy shit.
and he was saying
you know one of the things I asked him about when he was on here
I was like I was like so if you were
in charge of like
our species on earth
I'm like what and you
knowing everything that you know because no one can possibly know
what you know Randall
what would you do right now like what should we be doing right now
he's like the number one priority
for us right now should be to preserve our species
is to get us onto the moon,
like get us living on the moon as soon as possible.
I'm like, not Mars or anything.
He's like, no, he's like, Mars is going to take too long,
blah, blah, there's all these problems.
Elon thinks that Mars is in the near future.
Yeah.
Elon says it's going to be, how long does he say it's going to be?
Like 50, 100 years?
Yeah, I mean, I thought it was even less than that,
but he seems very confident in his rocket's abilities.
and oh man
but the moon is going to have to be
an intermediary point to the
Mars so he's like the first thing
we should do is get on the fucking moon
because if something happens on Earth we need a way
to at least get some of us off the earth
to preserve our species because
he truly believes that there's an
extinction of extinction event coming very soon
wow and we're in that 100 year window right now
yes for not only the asteroids but the
super volcanoes
Would you go to the moon if everybody started moving there?
Shit, I mean, what kind of life is that, you know?
I'll probably just catch the wave that the last, the last tsunami.
Yeah, I'll just go paddle out.
There's no surf on the moon.
Yeah, no, he's talking to an event, though, that would be like, like, like everything ends.
Like a shockwave is so powerful that, like, you just die instantly.
Well, yeah, not only, I mean, instantly, like, it depends how close you are to, like, they're saying,
They're saying if the, I think I watched the Yellowstone documentary.
They said if the volcano erupted in Yellowstone.
It would be a slow death for all of us.
It would be everyone in the U.S. would die within a couple weeks.
Obviously in like the 200 mile vicinity of the volcano instant death.
But the entire United States would take a couple weeks.
And then it would eventually get over to Europe.
And we would run out of oxygen, right?
Yeah.
And it would black out the skies.
Shit would die.
and everything would have to rebuild.
Oh my God, dude.
Could you imagine?
Just like when hurricanes come here and we lose power for a week or two.
Like Irma.
Remember Irma?
Yeah, and dude, I feel like that volcano, the last one that erupted in the ocean,
like that was a real wake-up call.
That was insane.
Life as we know it can change like that.
Like everything, you know, like all.
And that's another problem that I have with like grinding TikTok
and like putting all my time into.
something that doesn't like serve me or the planet you know i want to do stuff that i enjoy
like i feel like our days are numbered obviously they are numbered but i don't know if i got
next week to look forward to so i kind of try to like live fast and just try to do everything that
is on my bucket list essentially but you know i've been traveling so much lately that i am also
happy to get home and work on some other projects and do some other stuff and teach people about history
because just like Randall is such a beast
just because he's super passionate about it,
you know, through fossil exploration,
like finding all the megalodont teeth
and all the mammoth stuff that we find.
Like, I've learned so much about planet Earth.
How did you get into doing that?
I've learned so much about Florida.
I've just been finding sharks' teeth my whole life.
And with the birth of the internet,
you become, you become, like,
aware of a lot of stuff that you didn't know about.
And I saw people scuba diving for megaloid.
teeth and I saw people digging
like I just went on YouTube, shark tooth
hunting Florida and I find videos
of people walking around on construction
sites finding giant megalodon teeth.
I'm like, what, this is insane.
So we got a tip to go
I'm not even going to
say the tip online
that we got, we got like a
general area. It's like,
hey, if you go
somewhere around here and you find a
construction site and they dug down deep enough
there will probably there will be sharks deep
there. So it was raining one day, and we heard, you know, rain's a good time to go shark's tooth hunting
because the rain washes away the sand and it leaves the big stuff, you know, all the fine sand
goes away and all the big teeth get left behind. Are you talking about Venice, Florida?
We were near Venice, yeah. Okay. But like, there's like a...
The place is famous for shark teeth. Yeah, it's the shark tooth capital of the world. Oh, is it really?
It's Casper since Beach. The pier is called Sharky's Pier. So from Venice to South
Carolina, there's sharks teeth. Okay. Yeah.
I think even further up than that.
And, but Florida has the most well-preserved shark's teeth on the planet.
Like the highest quality teeth on the planet come from Florida.
Like, there are no, there is nowhere on the planet that people will pay such a premium on price for shark's teeth than the teeth that come out of Florida.
I don't know what that is.
It has to do with like the phosphorus in the ground.
It has to do with all the minerals that were here.
Because like Florida's been underwater several times.
Like, I probably doesn't.
dozens of times.
And you can find Megalodontief all across the whole state.
And we're really trying to buy land right now because we want to preserve those fossils.
There's so much development going on right now.
And when they develop all these neighborhoods on this land,
they're destroying so much history.
So we're just trying to buy like 20 acres, 30 acres, 50 acres, something like that.
So we can excavate it for fossils and conserve what's left there.
before the whole entire fucking state
of Florida's developed and the whole United States moves here.
It's full, dude.
It really, like, my hometown is not as enjoyable as it once was.
Like, Pete, like, I love where I live
because it's, like, quiet beach town.
Like, you know, they're trying to build a fucking parking garage
behind Cravey Bills.
Oh, really?
Like, somewhere between Central Ave and Fifth Ave,
like, that strip, they're trying to build, like, a three-story parking garage.
Really?
Yeah.
they're like trying to like be like hush, hush about it.
And like all the residents found out now there's like an uproar online.
They don't want it to happen.
Hell no, I posted about it.
I was like, yo, come to the city hall meeting.
I oppose this.
This is dog shit.
People are like, oh, it'll, um,
it'll free up all the,
it'll free up all the people that park in the neighborhoods.
It's like, no, it won't.
It'll just make more people come here.
Right, right.
If you want parking garages, go to Clearwater Beach.
Please just get out of here.
Like, it's, it's bad enough that they're,
There's dozens of townhomes popping up everywhere.
You know, it's not...
Dude, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, three days in a row during the week in the winter,
every beach access parking lot completely slammed.
I've never seen that before this time of year, you know?
It's been like that for a couple years.
I mean, no, and the last two years, like, I don't know.
COVID scared everybody, bro.
COVID scared everybody.
Yeah, I did.
You know, there was a point in time where I could go on the beach.
There's not a single person on the beach.
beach because the beach was closed
that during COVID really closed the beaches down you guys don't remember
that yeah it would not let people on the beach I don't remember that yeah they had the
excesses all blocked off they cops blocking them
barricades and everything it was so nile it's so dumb can we agree that COVID is
bullshit everyone in Florida is over oh yeah dumbest fucking thing ever what would you block
the beach they do the dumb and they're still doing the dumbest shit and everyone's just
super okay with like
Not everybody, but a lot of people.
A lot of people.
Dude, it's like...
People are pussies.
A lot of people are pussies.
Dude, like the companies that are making these vaccines are some of the, like, least trusted companies in the medical field that have ever existed.
There's been, like, multi-million dollar lawsuits against these companies for, like, impractical drug use and just, like, the list is endless of all the shit that they've done wrong.
And, like, everybody's just so okay.
Like, did you know that the COVID vaccine is the most profitable medical product in history?
Like, Pfizer made $49 billion in one year off of selling the vaccines, making it the most profitable medical product of all time.
I believe it.
Like, that shouldn't happen because, like, Russell Brand just did a podcast.
Like, a vaccine that's supposed to help the entire planet should.
be made with the best interest of people's health.
They made it with the best interest of making the most money.
Right.
So, like, when a company's drive is stock and to keep their shareholders at being,
to make as much money as possible,
they're probably not going to put as much time as they possibly can
into making sure that it's a great product.
Right, right.
It wouldn't make sense.
It's not a good business move.
So, like, historically, all of they've done is,
what is
you know like
they came out with a medicine
that was like really good
for some specific disease
I don't remember exactly what it was
but once it became a really popular medicine
it was marked up like
7,000% from when they released it
because it became popular
and because once it's worked
and once they knew that people needed it
they can charge a lot more for it
so like when their interest as a company
is to make money
and not release a product
that is affordable and that makes sense for their consumer.
Like, we really, like, how are we, how is the whole entire planet just going to all of a sudden trust this corporation that's interest is making money?
Did you know, did you know that?
And then once you start mandating it, once you start saying people have to take something that is made by a company that people didn't fucking trust before, you know, it's like, what, like, am I speaking of foreign language here?
Or is this ridiculous?
No, it's totally.
It's ridiculous that you will get shamed for saying.
now and that you can't go to certain countries because you didn't want to take a drug that
was created by criminals you know it's crazy did you know that i think it's 75 to 80 percent
i think that was the stat we talked about with dom d'agastino 75 this guy we had this guy on here who's a
he's a nutritional research scientist and a neuroscientist and a neuroscientist and uh we were talking about
how the United States, out of all the clinical research,
the billions of, I forget the price,
but it's in like the tens of billions of dollars every year
for clinical research funding,
between 80 and 90% of it goes to drugs.
Drugs instead of shit like diet or
psychological stuff or anything like that.
It's all just based on drugs, on remedies.
Not remedies, but.
God, everyone's becoming.
I'm like such a pussy too.
It's like you have to be okay with what everyone wants for themselves.
Like that's okay.
But like also we shouldn't be just like allowing people to just like eat McDonald's
every day until they die or like only eat candy or like only eat ice cream.
You know, like there needs to be a line drawn like they don't preach health on any of the mainstream
outlets.
You know, like when COVID first came out, it's like, hey, like the sun is really good.
Like we need to treat this as as what we've always treated viruses.
Like if it's something that harms your lungs, you know, get your lungs open up.
Get outside.
You know, get your cardio going.
Make sure you're breathing.
Make sure you get your heart.
You know, just preaching like healthy lifestyles.
It's like gone.
And it's just like you can't call like a fat person fat because it's offensive nowadays.
But like also like we need to like coach these people that aren't healthy into being
healthier instead of just being like everyone's like it's okay to like be 300 pounds overweight and it's
like I don't hate you for it but like I would like to tell you what you can do to make the quality
of your life better you know right and don't weaponize it against other people yeah and then it's just
like I don't know it's like all the movement like big is beautiful like yeah everyone's beautiful
you know everybody is beautiful but like also you like healthy is like being healthy is important
yeah live very long you know I don't know it's just
everyone's getting too sensitive.
Like you should be able to say what you want.
That's why I want to do stand-up comedy, too.
Because I feel like if you're a comedian,
there's almost like you're allowed to cross lines.
You know,
you're allowed to, like, cross boundaries for the sake of comedy.
And I just feel like I'd really enjoy myself.
I'm working on routine for like four years now.
Have you?
Yeah.
And like very soon,
I'm just going to go to an open mic night.
Have you ever done any open to mic nights?
Never.
Not really.
Yeah, but I've written a lot of material that I'm convinced is really funny.
I'll watch a lot of stand-up comedians.
specials. And a lot of the time, they're really not that funny. A lot of the time, like,
I write better stuff than this I know for a fact. And I won't step to, like, somebody like
Dave Chappelle or, like, Daniel Tosh or Richard Pryor. Like, those guys are all absolutely
goaded, you know. But, like, I was watching Kevin Hart's last stand-up. And he's like,
you know, this whole COVID thing hasn't made me feel comfortable. I don't like leave
my house. So that's why we're doing this in my house. And he's got, like,
people perfectly six feet apart, like, scattered across, like, this theater room, I guess,
in his house, like, everyone's double-masked, and, like, he's doing jokes about COVID,
and, like, I watched it for, like, 30 minutes, and I didn't laugh once.
I turned it off, and I was like, I'm funnier than at least that, you know?
Yeah.
I don't know.
I've been working on it.
I think it's going to be good, but that's one of my, like, bucket list things is to do a stand-up routine, you know,
to have a stand-up special.
When are you going to start doing open-mic nights?
Soon, like, sometimes, like, this month or next month.
Yeah?
You're just going to show up unannounced as a random small comedy clubs.
start doing it, see what happens.
You just like see if I can draw some laughs, like practice my style,
maybe go have a cameraman come and film, just like, I don't know,
I want to get my feet wet.
You know, I feel like it's like ripping off a band-aids,
just something that I need to go and do.
And it's like Dave Chappelle said he was so nervous the first time that he did stand up
and went out there, enjoyed it, you know, went to go do something at the Apollo,
got booed off stage.
And then it was just like, you know, that was the worst.
Like nothing can hurt me now.
Like, you know, he said you just went through it and then never stopped.
I saw the funniest, I went to the best stand-up show I've ever been to.
Who?
Last week.
Tim Dillon.
I don't know who that is.
You know who Tim Dillon is?
No.
Oh, my God, dude.
He is the funniest motherfucker in the world.
You have to watch.
Listen to his podcast.
He does this, like, my mom.
monologue type podcast where he just, he's kind of like, he's like the gay younger version of
Alex Jones.
Holy shit.
Wow. Imagine Alex Jones, but like in his early, like his mid 30s and gay.
I'm gonna check.
And a little bit overweight.
And he's like super into crypto and like metaverse shit.
And he's super into conspiracy theories.
And dude, he is, and he's kind of like right wing too.
Interesting.
Funny as.
I'll check him out.
This guy.
That's the kind of shit you find on Tim Dillon's Twitter page.
Interesting.
A fucking deep dark...
Wait, Tim Dillon Post-Aff?
Yeah, the deep dark wormholes of conspiracies.
Holy shit.
But that's like a...
It's kind of like the same thing with COVID, you know?
When 9-11 happened, they just found more ways to control us and take more power with Patriot Act and the war on the Iraq War.
And with COVID, they're trying to do the same thing.
I just heard something about they're trying...
Which country is it?
The UK is talking about...
Great Britain is talking about creating their own type of digital currency.
That's like a, it's like a coupon.
So it's like a, think of like a, they want to create their own cryptocurrency,
but it's centralized so they can control what you can use your money for.
So they can say you can go.
Sounds terrible.
You can take your money that you make every week at your job.
You can use this much for that.
And you can use, right, exactly.
You can use it to buy this kind of food.
Or you can use it to buy that.
So they can literally control what you buy.
It's like black mirror episode.
Yeah, it really is.
Just like a black mirror episode.
Yeah, I'm chilling on all that craziness.
Dude, that's like,
world's supposed to be more simple.
Like, there's too much noise.
Like, there's too much.
You can grow your own food.
So, so crazy and so wrapped up
and everything that goes on in their phones
and, like, what they see in the news.
And, like, oh, God, just 100 years ago,
we didn't have these things.
And, like, life was so much more simple.
Like, have you ever considered?
considered what your life would be like for the next few weeks if you did not use a computer or a phone like what would you do
I never even thought about it I'd be on the beach somewhere yeah yeah I'd be on the beach somewhere I'd be surfing I'd be surfing
maxed out pipe with Nathan Florence with my life flashing before my eyes like think about that like think about
a year like what the next year of your life looks like without technology never thought about it people
need to think about that yeah what would you do probably along the lines of the same stuff that I
do anyways, you know?
Sharks teeth. I love
the internet and I love technology
and I love editing and
going down rabbit holes and learning
and the metaverse and
crypto and NFTs and whatever it is.
It's all, I love it. I think it's awesome.
I think it's very positive. It can be used in
a very positive way.
But I like the real world
way more, you know. I'd rather
go surfing. I'd rather go skating. I'd rather
go golf. I'd rather go hunt for megalon
teeth. I'd rather go paddleboard. Go out on the
beach.
Like, I really enjoy being outside.
And, like, one of my favorite things that I've started obsessing over the last few years
is getting videos and pictures of storms, like supercells and lightning and time lapses.
Like, man, I filmed, did you see the lightning strikes I filmed last year?
I did.
I was filmed, in my opinion, some of the most uniquely captured lightning strikes that have
ever been filmed by anyone.
And it wasn't because of my skill as a videographer.
I just was in the right place at the right time
for the right lightning strike, you know?
Like, the slow-mo guys took their
$200,000 red camera, you know,
and went and filmed lightning at 60,000 frames per second and 4K, you know.
But the lightning type of lightning that they were shooting
wasn't as impressive as, you know, what Mother Nature has to offer.
It's like going and shooting IRB versus pipeline.
What kind of lightning were they shooting?
They were just shooting like cloud-to-ground lightning.
Just like quick, like, boom.
But there's like, there's different, there's a lot of different types of lightning.
And there's different, like, levels to where the lightning strikes in the atmosphere.
And, like, I've learned that, like, anvil crawler lightning, the lightning that crawls across the bottom of the cloud is some of the best lightning to.
And I read some recently.
It was, like, the biggest lightning strike was recorded or something.
Yeah, I just did a video about that.
And the biggest rogue wave, yeah.
Oh, yeah, it was your video.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, the rogue wave and the lightning.
I think I sent it to you.
Yeah.
What was the deal with the rogue wave?
The rogue wave.
A rogue wave is defined as a wave that is more than twice as big as the swell surrounding it.
So if it's like two to four foot and there's just like a nine to ten foot wave that comes out of nowhere, that would be considered a rogue wave.
So it was the biggest rogue wave that's ever been recorded in history.
It was around like 78 feet.
Did you look up, pull it up, go to type in Juk Squad real quick?
Did you figure out what it was from?
Or did anybody figure out what it was from?
It was like, it's just like,
according to all the data that we've gathered
and the,
um,
with all the buoys,
a wave like that only happens once every, like,
it's the biggest rogue wave,
yeah, that one,
every 1,300 years.
Or, yeah,
that was the odds that we've gathered.
You're going to want to pause real quick and then
scroll your mouse across the bottom
so I can see the timestamp.
Yeah,
Keep going.
I talk about the lightning first.
Keep going, keep going, keep going.
We just want to find a boo.
Yeah, go back a little bit.
Yeah, right there.
Now go full screen.
Where is this?
This is off the coast of Canada.
The coast of Canada.
I forget, actually.
I just did a video on this.
In the Atlantic?
But look, so watch.
All right.
So that's the first wave of the set.
Oh, shit.
Watch this next one.
That was a long swell.
Oh shit.
The bottom's falling out.
Oh.
Literally off the chart.
Imagine you're out on the boat out there, like a fishing boat or something.
And that rogue wave just shows up.
If the swells are that big, you do not want to be out there.
That was the biggest rogue wave ever captured.
Really?
By a buoy, yeah.
That's insane.
I thought that was worth doing a commentary.
Imagine Shade all you out there.
See, I like doing, I like making it.
I like making videos about stuff that's like fascinating to me
I was like this is insane
And I saw the lightning
Like the biggest lightning strike that's ever been captured
Yeah recorded
It was like last week too
I was like damn
These both happened within you know
Not very far of each other
It's kind of crazy to think about
That is crazy
Lightning is insane
What kind of hurricane season is you gonna have?
I don't know
Like shit's charged last
Last year's hurricane season
Was fucking nuts
Last year was the
probably the most consistent surf I've ever seen.
We had a hurricane every week.
Dude, I surfed probably like 60 or 70 days where it was like above waist high and glassy.
I'm pretty sure there was like nine or ten days in a row that I was surfing every single day outside of 25th because there was just always waves.
Like one storm, another storm.
Like storms were sitting out there for like an entire week.
It would take a week to cross the Gulf.
We were just getting so much swell.
Does that wave so bare.
Does that wave still break on 25th, that, like, peeling left-hander?
No, no, unfortunately.
Were they dredged it?
That was done after that first swell.
Dude, that was unreal.
You know what is going to be absolutely off the charts?
Is up.
Channel 3, the other side of sand key?
They're dredging the whole inside of the past right there.
Are they?
A ton of sand, and it's going to make a gnarly sandbar out there.
And I think the surf there is going to be nuts.
That'll be fun.
I've been surfing there for fucking 15 years.
Yeah.
I've never, like hardly ever see anyone surf there ever.
So if people start surfing there, you know, I'll just drop in on them.
Just roll right into Shepherds.
Yeah.
Go get a drink.
Yeah, that place is like legendary for being like a famous skimboarding spot, right?
Yeah.
But the surf gets kind of there.
I've never seen it like that big though, but like the biggest I've seen it's like way high.
I've gotten shacked there.
I've seen it like head high, but out past the opal sands.
Oh, okay.
favorite hotel
In Clearwater, by the way.
The Opal Sands?
Even more than the Sand Pearl.
I finally got arrested for the channel too, Danny.
We have that in common now.
Hell yeah.
I was arrested before you were on YouTube channel.
Yeah, you were the first one to go to jail.
That was hilarious.
That was the last time I was in jail.
That was great.
Was it the first time?
That wasn't the first time.
But that was the most recent time.
Yeah, I still got community service.
It's no fun.
I got to probably get that.
For the Holly Boom?
I wanted to ask you about your lucid dreams.
What happened?
Not in focus?
Oh, fuck.
Beautiful is over.
How did you get into lucid dreams?
And how does that whole thing work?
I don't know how I got into lucid dreams.
I think I just read something online
That talked about conscious dreaming
Just the concept of being awake in your dreams
And I was a teenager at the time
Like I'd never even
Like I've dreamed my whole life
Like and from a very young age
I was writing down my dreams
Because they were just so crazy
I had going crazy adventures
And somebody told me when I was really young
That if I write down all my dreams
And I fill up a journal
I have a really cool book
Of all my dreams someday
And I was like oh that sounds cool
so I would do that and then I became aware of the concept or the perspective of being awake while dreaming
and it just completely blew my mind.
I was like, what?
You can like be conscious while being asleep.
And it's just like, I don't know, just kind of like shook me in a weird way and I started researching it more
and I started looking into performing reality checks, which is where you ask yourself if you're
dreaming when you're not dreaming.
So like right now I'd be like, am I dreaming?
I don't think so
Another good thing to do is to like ask yourself
How you got here
Because typically in a dream
You don't remember arriving there
You're kind of just like thrown into a situation
So I do that
And I would do that like several times a day
I would even take a Sharpie
And put like a mark on my hand
And every time I saw the mark
I would do a reality check
Or like set alarms on my phone
And like several times a day
Just question reality
Just contemplate of
anything looks weird.
And when you're dreaming, if you ask yourself, if you're dreaming,
or if you ask yourself how you got somewhere or if it seems weird,
it'll just be different.
Like, how did I get here?
Like, I have no fucking idea how I got here.
And that's, like, kind of a trigger.
Like, I just questioned reality enough.
And then I would, while I was sleeping,
I would ask myself if I was dreaming.
I'd realize I was dreaming.
I'd get really excited.
And the first time that I ever became lucid,
I got so excited that I'd just, like, watch the dream,
just, like, deteriorate.
like the floor of the dream fell out.
And I just like woke up in my bed and I was like, whoa.
And I learned online that you have to learn to stay calm and stay focused
because if you get too excited, you're just going to wake yourself up.
And I just started exploring going deeper and deeper into what was possible in my dreams.
And I created like a bucket list for dreaming.
There's like things that I wanted to do and there's things that I still want to do.
And one of the things was I wanted to.
be able to make objects change with my hands or with my thoughts.
And I was in a dream.
I still vividly remember this.
And a car was driving by,
and I knew I was dreaming.
And I was like,
and I went like that,
and the car flipped and, like,
crashed and exploded.
It was so loud,
and it was so gnarly.
And it was like,
I don't know,
when you're dreaming and you're lucid dreaming,
like,
you're actually there.
Like,
there's nothing that,
like,
it's not as any different than what we're doing right now.
except for the only limits in your dreams are the limits that you create in your head.
So one of the other big goals that I had was to fly.
I really wanted to fly in my dream.
But like, if I stand up right now and I try to fly off the ground, it's not going to work.
And I will never be able to convince myself that it's possible because it's not.
But like, if you while you're dreaming can just take something that's impossible and know that it's possible,
if you can convince yourself that you can fly in your dream,
it's weird.
Half the time I can and half the time I can't.
Like half the time I'll, like, be light and I'll feel like less weight,
but like I'll jump and I'll like kind of like moon jump.
Like I won't actually fly.
But like there's just some times where I just have like the free perspective that like I can
just see myself floating and I just feel weightless.
Like it's a hard perspective to acquire to allow yourself to be okay with like yourself
flying.
It's just, it's like, because it's not something people think about.
Yeah, you don't like, like, I can't fly.
Like, people don't fly.
Like, if you can, like, if you can purely see it in your head and you can see yourself flying when you're dreaming,
just start flying.
I would just fly around and just like it's the most free, like craziest feeling ever.
But, you know, it's cooler than flying is breathing underwater.
That is the craziest lucid dreaming experience I've ever had in my entire life,
is knowing that I'm dreaming and swimming underwater and knowing that...
You can't drown surfing mavericks.
Exactly. I've made waves come out of the ocean.
I've surfed the biggest waves that I've ever seen while lucid.
I'll get into more stuff that I've done in my dreams that kind of relate back to reality in a second.
But, God, it's just, it's absolutely mind-blowing.
So is it like you, when you're awake, you make it a habit of asking yourself if you're dreaming?
So that becomes such a habit.
You just have to contemplate dream perspectives.
Like what, like how you,
like how you used to have to see yourself lucid dreaming.
You have to see yourself in a dream consciously aware that you're dreaming.
You have to create that perspective in your head.
Like I am a firm believer that like us as humans, like our minds are capable of things that like people can't even comprehend.
Like I think that like everyone's like kind of connected and like, oh, you can feel people's energy.
Like it's like when you know what somebody's going to say before they say.
It's just like an intuitive thing.
Oh, man.
Just the whole topic.
I kind of have been off of it for a little while,
but I still dream all, like every single night.
I have crazy dreams.
Most of the time, they're just dreams that I, like, thoroughly enjoy.
I haven't been lucid as much lately,
but one of the ways that I have been becoming lucid
is by having nightmares.
Because if something terrible is happening in a dream, like super terrible,
I question reality.
And I realize when something,
if somebody's holding a gun or like you have just crazy nightmares you know people have nightmares
always go lucid because i always realize that it's a dream i've actually had dreams where people
are chasing me with guns it's like the scariest situation you can ever imagine because you're
about to die or so you think and um it's like wait this is a dream this isn't actually happening
turn around guy with the gun take the gun from him he goes here you go it's your dream now i just
start flying start doing whatever i want but what's crazy about dreams is it's really hard
to take information from, like, reality into the dream world.
Most of the time, like, dreams are emotions and perspectives and situations, you know?
Like, a dream doesn't have to be a place and it doesn't have to be a conversation.
It can be a feeling, you know?
Like, you have dreams that are scary.
You have dreams that are, like, about love.
You have dreams that are happiness.
You have dreams that are, like, about fear.
Like, there's a whole bunch of different types of, like,
dreams like I said it doesn't have to be a place or a conversation it can be just like strictly
a feeling and um it can almost always be equated to something that happened to you in real life like
i've had dreams where like there was a dream uh i was at gaspril and some lady like
fell off the side of one of the draw bridges she was like trying to climb down and she fell
and like we had all these people like helping lift her up and then like a couple it was either the
next night or a couple nights later, I, like, had another dream that it was, like, a similar
situation where I was, like, helping somebody, like, out of some, like, place.
But when I thought about at Gasparilla and when I thought about it in the dream, it was,
like, the same exact situation.
So, like, you ever hear somebody say sleep on it?
It's like, oh, if you don't, if you haven't made your mind up on this, you should probably
just sleep on it.
Because your brain goes through everything that happened the day before while you're
asleep.
Your mind is subconsciously processing every comfort.
conversation, every interaction, everything that happened to you that day.
So, like, if you surf all day, you're probably going to have dreams about surfing.
If you golf all day, you'll probably...
I sleep better than I've ever slept in my life.
Yeah, yeah. Sometimes when you get too exhausted, too, you won't have as vivid of dreams
because you're, like, so deep and you're subconscious.
But, oh, man, I can talk about dreaming forever.
That's one of the most fascinating things ever.
But, like, I was talking about breathing underwater.
Like, I was, there was, like, this bridge, right?
and on each side of the bridge there's like crystal clear like streams and it's almost like it's like a
giant like concrete structure but it's like indoor and outdoor it's not like I'm inside of a place
it's like I'm inside of like a old structure on the side of a river like in a jungle somewhere and there's
these crystal clear streams and there's all these underwater caves and like all the caves are like well
lit and like when you swim down in a cave it opens up to this giant room and there's all these fish and everything
and I'm lucid and I jump in the water
and I like you know you get that tightness feeling in your chest
I was just like this is a dream
I like there's nothing that can hurt me here
I can swim underwater and I should be able to be relieved
because I've had dreams where I'm breathing underwater
but I just feel myself breathing in my bed
it's like not like I'm actually breathing in the dream
I can feel like myself laying in my bed
and I feel myself like breathing in reality.
But like I'm holding my breath in the dream,
but I'm still like feeling my chest being relieved.
And then there's other lucid dreams where I'm in the water
and I know that I'm dreaming and I open my mouth and I like breathe in water.
And I feel like the cold water fill up my lungs and it relieves me.
Like I don't choke.
Like I feel relieved.
And I'm just like like breathing in this.
It's like it like goes from being like,
heavy, thick water to like,
it feels like cold air almost, you know?
But like,
perspectives and your dreams can shift so quickly
because, like, it is an imprint of your subconscious mind.
It's not actually, like, a real place.
Like, what's crazy about lucid dreaming
is you have to maintain your focus on the fact that you're lucid
or else you'll get distracted and you'll snap back into a dream.
Like, I never, ever remember a lucid dream ending.
I just continue dreaming, you know,
unless I wake up.
But like it's, oh, man, it's interesting.
It's like, it's so sny.
Like, I think it's something everyone should take some time and learn about because it has
absolutely changed my life.
Like, a small way would be I was lucid at IRB skate park.
In my dream, I knew that it was a dream and I'm at the skate park.
And I suck it going front side on the rail.
Like, I'd never done front side 50-50s before.
And I was like, oh, I'm dreaming.
Like, I can't get hurt.
Drop in.
Grind across the whole thing.
Do it a couple times.
Start skating.
Start shredding.
And I woke up and I was like, damn, like, that was so easy.
Went straight to the skate park.
Dropped in.
50-50 grind front side first tried.
Never done it before besides my dream.
But the dream gave me the confidence that I needed and the perspective to where, like, I went
in person and did it, like, unimaginably better than I would have if I didn't have that dream.
Like, it wasn't even a question that the dream helped me.
Like, the dream is the reason why I landed that trick.
And there's a lot, all of the most, like, the smartest minds, like, like, Nikola Tesla and Albert Einstein and Neil deGrasse Tyson, like, they're all lucid dreamers.
They all talk about lucid.
Yeah.
Yeah, look up like Albert Einstein.
Look up famous lucid dreamers on Google, maybe.
Okay.
There'll be a list of people that might pop up.
Yeah.
First one is like Tim Dillon and Alex Jones.
Bill Clinton
Oh, man
Salvador Dali
Yeah
Christopher Nolan
Leonardo DiCaprio
Stephen King
Leonardo DiCaprio
That's what I'm telling you a lot of that
Seventhion
Inception is about lucid's a movie
It's the same way
And after you have this conversation
Like rewatch that movie
And think about being lucid
It's like a dream inside a dream
Stephen King
I can't
I gotta discredit him
Because he wrote his best books
While he was doing mountains of cocaine
at the same time. Why would that
discredit him? I don't know.
That's extra credit as far as
extra credit. Because he wasn't
sleeping, that's why.
It's fascinating. It's absolutely
fascinating to me. And it's like, I don't know.
People limit themselves. Like, we're on a rock
orbiting around a fireball in infinite
space and people want to like limit
themselves to like, oh, I can't do this, I can't
do that. It's like, yeah, last night I was breathing
underwater flying and making
mountains come out of the ocean inside my mind.
Like, I've had such vivid dreams all night.
Like, I, I, I had a string of lucid dreams one night, and I was like downhill longboarding,
and I was surfing, and I was, like, doing all this crazy shit, what seemed like a six-hour
adventure.
Like, I was, like, my mind was conscious the whole entire night, and then I woke up, and it
had seemed like the day before that night, and the next day it was all one timeline.
And I like started feeling like
Like my potential was infinite because like my mind never rested
And I was going on these incredible like I'll wake up in the morning sometimes
Just like absolutely pumped and stoked because I had the sickest dreams ever
And like I don't know like that feeling of flying like
And breathing underwater and doing all these incredible things like that makes you feel like
I don't know like you've taken over the world like you're invincible like
Yeah, it's, it's, yeah, it kind of makes me speechless.
It's just the craziest shit that you can ever imagine, like, is possible inside your own head while you're supposedly, like, resting.
Have you ever had, I'm sure you have?
Like, out-of-body experiences.
That's like, that's it.
You're not, you're there, but you're not there, you know?
It's like, it makes, it just, like, changes reality for you.
Have you ever had been in a situation where you had your life flash before your eyes?
Yeah, like, a lot of times.
Isn't it how crazy is up?
Like a top 10
New Death Experience video on YouTube
Do you really?
Dude, that is the craziest thing
ever.
Lightning.
Lightning is one of the
gnarliest.
Probably the,
yeah,
I think I'd never thought
that I was dead more
than when lightning strike
was struck really close to me.
It's happened to me twice.
It's a weird thing.
It's a weird like
dream state you go into.
I've done it mostly like drowning.
Like when I think I'm going to drown.
Like I've been,
I've done it when,
And I've been free diving through like underwater caves, like one time.
The first time it had to me, I was free diving through an underwater cave.
And I couldn't find the exit.
And I was swimming as fast as I fucking could.
And there was no exit.
And I was like 20 feet underwater.
And I'm just like, I'm dead.
I'm going to, I'm probably going to die here.
And like my whole life flashed from my eyes, everything that happened in my life from as far back as I can remember.
And that's like, that was super weird.
You ever done DMT?
Never done DMT.
She'd do it on the podcast.
Have you?
Yeah.
No.
We should do it.
I'd be down.
Shane knows where to get it.
No, he doesn't.
Who's listening?
But yeah, when your life flat...
No, I'd like to try it, though.
How many times does that happen to you, would you say?
I don't know.
I have no idea.
A lot.
Many.
Drowning?
Like, like...
Drowning?
No, I've never...
No, I've never thought I was going to drown, really?
I've gotten...
I mean, I've gotten to where I was like, oh, shit, like if I get a little bit more fucked up, I might be to the point to where I'm like, I might drown.
I've gotten winded in the ocean before, but I've never, like, genuinely been scared that I've genuinely been scared that I was going to drown.
I have such, like, I feel so at peace in the ocean.
Yeah.
I've gotten my ass kick by such massive waves in Cabo.
And I feel like I've gotten really fortunate.
I've gotten absolutely beaten, but definitely saved a lot of people from drowning.
Never had to get saved.
So that's good.
That is good.
That is good.
The last combo trip, man, we saved like eight different people.
That would have been really terrible situations if we weren't there.
Yeah.
Insane.
What is that one right-hand point break in Mexico?
Zippers.
No.
What the fuck is it called?
There's like a surf camp right there,
and it's like right on this massive cliff.
Cerritos?
I don't know.
Couldn't tell you.
Oh, Scorpion Bay.
No.
I can't remember what it's called right now.
Are you sure?
I think it's Scorpion Bay.
I don't think it's Scorpion Bay.
Where's my...
Skelet...
No, no, Skeleton Bay is the other way.
No, that's Africa.
That's Africa.
Pirates Cove.
Smuggler's Cove.
What the fuck's it called?
Hold on.
Scorpion Bay.
This is where we got to go, bro.
Is there a bathroom in here?
Yeah, yeah, right out there to the, right out that door to the left, first place in the left.
We're back.
Bara de la Cruz.
This is a place I want to fucking, I'm going to go next.
Who is it?
The most perfect fucking rights ever.
Oh, my God, let's go.
I'll go with you.
And there's a bunch of sick little spots to stay, like, right on this beach.
Do a lot of people surf there?
Not a ton, no.
It's pretty kind of isolated, but they have, they have surf camps that,
go there. People that only fly
there, it's kind of like
I don't think there's a big
like crowd there typically. Is this one that
barrels up on the inside really heavy?
Yes. Really heavy.
One guy died there like a couple years ago.
What? How?
Blanet broke his neck so bad that he fucking died.
He got paralyzed when he hit
this guy was a pro, like a fucking
legit pro. And
he hit his head and
broke his neck and he was paralyzed and he
drown.
Damn.
But this is,
it is the most
perfect fucking right
ever.
I am a regular
footer, so I'm down.
Yeah, surfing too,
man.
I think Jamie O'Brien
made a video at this
place, at this spot,
on his channel.
I'm so happy
to be back on a surfboard.
I'm sponsored by Rusty now.
Are you?
Mm-hmm.
Really?
Yeah.
That's cool.
Got the Rusty hookup.
That's awesome.
Do they still make
surfboards?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Find on a map.
find Barra de la Cruz
on a map, let's find out how far it is.
I love Google Earth. I use Google Earth.
I know, I know, it's the best.
Especially for finding surf spots.
You can learn so much about, like, everything.
It's just so much, I don't know.
I was looking at all the volcanoes.
Like, you ever just gone volcano hopping on Google Earth
and gotten lost and, like, gone?
And, like, you ever just, like, check out Florida,
like all the different parts of Florida?
Like, I don't know.
I kind of want to make videos on my YouTube channel,
like, going on a tour of Florida with,
yeah.
on Google Earth.
That would be sick.
That would be dog.
Dude, I found, like, the best cliff jumping spots.
I found 70-foot cliffs in Florida.
Really?
That would exist, yeah.
Dude, there's a...
We could make about 100 documentaries
driving through the Everglades.
There's so much weird shit,
so many, like, weirdos.
There's a guy who has a lodge,
and he's dedicated to hunting the skunk ape.
Oh, I know.
You know that guy?
You know that guy?
Museum, yeah.
I made a video about it.
Wacko.
Yeah.
He sells t-shirts in my box.
Yeah.
I own Skunk game memory.
I catch all the drops.
Skunk game.
Sounds like an NFT.
He's the boy.
For real.
All right.
Jeez, baby.
That's where Bar de la Cruz is.
Dude, I heard there is a million point breaks on the Mexican Peninsula.
Whoa, Austin, what the fuck are you doing?
Yo, Google Earth is drunk as hell.
Hit the compass.
Hit the compass.
It's flat.
Oh, no.
The Earth's flat.
There you go.
Okay. So how far are we from Cabo?
Cabo is, there it is, lands at, oh, it's not far. We can go, dude, come to Cabo.
Where is Cabo? Okay.
Oh, no, Cabo's all the way down. No, no, zoom out.
Cobbo's the very, very bottom, right?
Yeah.
Yeah, all the way at the bottom.
No, you got to zoom out farther, Austin.
No, that's, yeah, it's up. Cabo's way up there.
Oh. Cabo's the very end of that peninsula up there.
Just keep going, keep going.
Cabo sent there.
Oh, it's that peninsula.
Okay, okay.
Zoom all the way in.
I'll show you the hotel I'm staying in.
Yep, keep going.
That little tip, that little point.
Yeah.
Nope, that's not it.
Oh, yeah, it is.
Yeah, it is.
Sorry, it just looks weird.
We're at a weird angle.
Keep zooming in.
Go down a little bit.
Yeah, that hotel right there.
Below the mouse.
The place looks like a fucking desert, huh?
Yeah, it's so sick.
Keep going down and zoom out a little bit.
Yeah, that's the Solmar.
That's where I'm going to be staying.
Yeah, look at that.
Those rocks right there do the skim.
I've seen those videos.
It goes from like 12,000 feet deep to just like shore right there.
Like the mountains meet the ocean.
And there's somehow a beach.
Like that beach right there is the most beautiful beach I've ever seen in my entire life.
Type in, uh, type in Lover's Beach on Google and just click on a picture.
It's insane.
Leave the maps up.
Open a new tab.
So we can go back to the maps after.
No, no, don't, don't close that tab.
Open up a new tab.
There you go.
Now we can go back to the Google Maps and not have to, like, fuck around.
Yeah, Lover's Beach.
Crazy Beach.
It's absolutely.
Isn't that it right there?
Yeah, that's it.
But, like, I mean...
He's looking for actual photos, right?
Yeah, yeah, like, look at that on the right.
Yeah, I mean, you can kind of get the picture of it.
Oh, that's sick.
It's absolutely insane.
Yeah, there's Arch Beach.
10 out of 10 would recommend visiting that place at some point in your life.
Is there any good surf spots there?
Is it all like...
Zippers. Zippers is right there.
Jamie O'Brien came out one year and charged the shore break with us.
Did he on the surfboard?
But yeah, we got to go to Bar-Da-Cruz, bro.
Places fucking nuts.
Yeah, last year when I went to Cabo, I probably made my favorite skimboarding wave at it of my entire life.
Really?
Fucking 12-foot maxing Cabo, the biggest waves I've ever seen in my life.
Jeez.
It was so much fun.
Got some beat-downs that year.
I'm ready.
When's the next trip?
May.
May?
I'm sponsoring the contest.
Turner is sponsoring the contest.
Apex is sponsoring it.
I'm going to try to get a pretty big pro-persse.
You're doing like a legit contest there?
Yeah.
It's the first time since before COVID.
It's been three years since there's a contest.
Wow.
And I consider it the gnarliest contest of the year because it's like nowhere is gnarlier than Cabo for shore break.
It's just heavy.
Even more than the wedge?
Wedge is pussy.
What? You skim the wedge?
Yes.
Big wedge?
Yes.
Where's the video? Let me see this thing.
That's in the archives.
You're no Brad Domkee, okay?
Dude.
Oh, the wedge can't hold a hold,
click a, type in.
The wedge is fucking terrifying.
No, type in I made a deadly mistake.
Well, there's no rocks there. That's the one thing that's not, that's not scary about the wedge.
It's just not as powerful.
The wedge is more, more like,
fluttery and more like it's less thick
Like it's just really? Yeah
And you get stuck in the water
At Cabo at least at the wedge you get washed up
On the beach
Yeah
And Cabo you get fucking stuck
Oh it's gotta be on a YouTube
What do you mean how do you get stuck
Because you just can't get in
You get stuck in the wash
Um
Huh
Type in a Adelaidea's like Juke Squad
Yeah
That's really
thought that'd come up. This video went pretty viral.
Shadow ban, bro.
Right? What's going on?
Do do, do, do, do, do.
YouTube's clapping me.
There you are a scary mistake.
I love, like, dude, Mexico,
I just go above and beyond to make the highest quality content possible every year, you know.
So you can skip in, probably.
Yeah, it was.
Fucking huge, dude.
That thing was gutted.
What is that, like, wave form?
You can let it play for a second.
There's actually some really good clips.
Like, that's what I'm talking about.
You know, we do everything we can
to make sure that the Cabo content
is top tier.
I lug, like, 50 pounds
worth of camera gear and batteries and
tripods and drones out there every single year.
Yeah, look at that.
Getting smoked.
That's got to be so fun, just body-surface.
those waves?
Yeah.
Or boogie boarding them?
Oh my god, I would be there.
I would be loving that with the boogie.
Dude, bodywomping, some of those fun shit ever, just going out there and swimming.
Yeah, actually, I made a full video about that.
When it was the biggest I've ever seen, I can show you some clips of that in a second.
I'd sponge it, I would sponge the shit out of that wave.
Dude, it's gnarly.
Yeah, you can skip in a little bit.
I'm not sure exactly where I haven't watched this video in a while, but yeah, keep going.
Go to where the big spike is.
Right there.
Keep going.
Oh, yeah, the big spike, yeah.
No, damn, it's crazy.
The retention there, huh?
That's weird, isn't it?
I've never even seen that.
Go to the spikes later.
Oh, it's the ass.
Go later in the video to the other spikes.
Yeah, it's like right there.
Yeah, a good combo of big waves and ass.
Like right there, yeah, click there right there.
Oh, you're trying to catch the cider.
Yeah, into just.
Is there a pretty good, uh, little,
sidewash wave there?
It's the gnarliest one that exists.
Is it?
Yeah, it's so, so gnarly.
Yeah, and this is where I get stuck on the outside.
So, there is a huge impending swell.
Like, it'll be chill for a little bit.
And, uh, here, turn the volume of.
Actually, you'll hear my friends start whistling.
Yeah, my buddy's up on the cliff yelling at me, telling me not to come in.
Because, like, I didn't know whether I should come in or not.
Yeah.
And, yeah, look at this shit.
This wave is so much gnarlier than a wave at the wedge, though.
Like, it's just so much, look at that thing.
Look at how heavy that is.
Oh, yeah, it just sucks up and closes out.
Yeah, look, look where I am.
Yeah.
How deep is it right there?
Like, four feet.
Yeah, but it was like an end of the night.
I was stuck out there.
That's bogeboard heaven.
Oh, wow.
Oh, bro.
That's just death, dude.
Just slam.
I got one of the best ways of my life that you got to be so fun.
It is so fun.
I blow my arms right off.
Oh, my God, it looks so fun.
That looks amazing.
Yeah, it looks sick.
Well, I think we hit a wall.
I was like two hours, two hours.
Boom, baby.
Metaverse, baby.
Yeah, lucid dreaming.
Everyone should try it.
Lucy dreaming.
The best thing you could get out of this video.
And the shark's teeth.
Yeah.
Well, that's more to come.
Yeah.
Yeah.
If you want to come hunt for sharks' teeth, just wait until we buy that.
So you guys are going to buy a shit little land and open up a shark's tooth sanctuary?
Yeah, we already got a tractor lined up because the main thing for that is we have to make sure the land has teeth on it.
So we're like, hey, if we're going to buy this land, you got to let us come dig a hole.
We've got to bring a tractor out to the 10, 20, however many acres it is, and pop a hole in the ground and check the fossil layer and the deposit and see how it looks.
and I also have an NFT that I'm trying to release soon.
That is going to be 500 unique sharks' teeth,
270 of which are megalodons and macos.
And if you buy the NFT,
the NFT that you get, the tooth that is the NFT,
well, it's going to be unrevealed,
so you're going to have to buy in before you get to see what your tooth is.
But the tooth that you buy is a tooth that we're going to have shipped to you in person.
And the collection is like,
I don't know.
There's at least $50,000 worth of shark's teeth in this collection.
Like, I'm letting go of some of the nicest teeth that I have for the collection
because I want to buy land and use the money to buy land.
But not only do you get the tooth that you buy for the NFT,
the NFT is your ticket to come and hunt on a property that we're going to buy using the money from the NFT project.
That's a sick idea.
Yeah, so it's your ticket to come.
Like, not only do you get a tooth, you have the opportunity to come find your own teeth.
That's a super sick idea.
Yeah.
I fucking love that.
So I've been working on that for a couple months.
I already have all the pictures taken, all the teeth separated.
I have a developer working on the website.
You got the Discord and everything set up.
But, you know, 98% of the projects out there right now are dog shit, you know?
Like most NFTs have no use whatsoever.
They're just cash grabs.
So, you know, contemplating the space and being in cryptocurrency since 2017,
which is essentially the exact same thing as NFTs.
It's just NFTs have a picture.
There's the whole art aspect in the process.
profile picture aspect of it.
I just never wanted to promote or be
a part of a project that I didn't think was
genuinely dope. So when I came up with the
Sharkstooth one, I was like, yeah, this is
a good way to get people involved. We can give
people a piece of history,
allow them to help us preserve history
and even come and find some
history yourself if you want. So it's just like
everyone I've talked to about it's like, yeah, that sounds
fucking awesome. Even if you don't want
to buy the NFT, you should like root for this project
because otherwise a neighborhood's
going to get built there and all the fossils
that are there are going to get destroyed.
Like, there is no fossil conservation whatsoever going on in Florida,
yet they're allowing mosaic to rip apart hundreds of thousands of acres.
And we can't go hunt for fossils on the spoil piles there
because it's a liability.
So it's just like the whole space, I don't know,
they're contributing to the death of Florida.
They're destroying fossils.
They're not letting us hunt for fossils.
So we're just like, hey, you want to support us?
We're going to buy some acres.
And you can come hang out with us too.
So, like, oh, start in small.
and ideally we'd like to open fossil farms between here all the way up to South Carolina
to where people can keep doing it because I think that a lot of people are going to want to come
and do this once we open these places.
Hell yeah, they would.
That's a fucking great idea.
Now where do people find that?
Are you going to post on your YouTube channel?
It'll be on my socials.
On your channel.
Like I said, like I'm not trying to do this to make a bunch of money.
I'm one of the only projects that's actually going to use the money to do something cool.
Like you can be able to see us buy the land
And first strike ground
And you know
Start excavating whatnot
Uh yeah
I don't know
It's just everybody's out here just trying to
You should just make it a pump and dump
Yeah it'd be super tight right
Yeah
Yeah
Make a fuck load of money on the shark's teeth
At least people get the sharks tea
So it'll be like super ripped off
Hey you know
Honestly
I'm not worried about the use case afterwards
I feel like that's just a bonus
I feel like
Like over time
People who want to come hunt
Are going to buy up from people
that just wanted the teeth, you know, because obviously once, when we release the project,
people are going to buy it just to get the teeth and then immediately going to try to sell off the
NFT because they have no interest in finding the teeth.
But I don't know.
I think it'll be really cool.
I'm excited about it.
