The Yard - Ep. 167 - He found us. (ft. Rainbolt)

Episode Date: September 25, 2024

This week, the boys talk about the GeoGuessr world cup, how Rainbolt started out, and how Rainbolt became the top ASMR channel...

Well, thanks for squeezing us into you. We're squeezing, you're squeezing. I appreciate you squeezing us into yourself. Oh, we're live. Okay. Wow. Okay. Wow. Okay. Hey. Hey. Look, hey, I'm not even gonna say shit.

I'm not even gonna say some shit. Oh, lovely, lovely, lovely. I'm not even gonna say some shit. You're making it so fucking weird. I'm not even gonna say some shit. You're making it so weird. It is crazy. I'm not making shit crazy.

I'm not saying any shit. To be clear, you made it weird because you kept reminding us. Yeah, you said it like four times. I just reminded you guys. You called me to see if I was awake. I'm in the parking lot talking to our new friend Trevor, AKA Rainbow. Hello, welcome Trevor Rainbow to the podcast,

How You Living Today. It's another day in paradise. I'm getting made fun of for having you on this podcast because I care too much, I guess. You also are. You showed up late after doing this. Don't say he was late in an agreeance. He was one minute late.

That's not that... He was five. Stay in our fucking minutes. I have a really good reason. Do you want to hear it? Yeah, he went to the beautiful store, bought everything. No, I was driving my K truck and it's unregistered. It doesn't have a license plate. And I saw a cop on the highway.

I said, what's the long way? I saw a cop in the left lane pull into the highway said I don't want to be next to that guy I will get arrested I will be arrested for this. This is so illegal I'm not gonna pull you I don't think you'll get arrested. I don't even have a license plate. I don't have a side mirror You will try not to be more late. Yeah, thank you. Yeah, thank I made it I made an executive Wayne Wayne the potential cost of driving by the car, which is a way worse scenario. If Ludwig controlled the fucking economy, it would make Geoguessr so much harder. Okay, it's a K truck on a road that looks like it goes to an after's ice cream.

A lot of license plates are fucking yellow. Also, he is wearing, I've never smelled him so dude Yeah, why do you smell like an extra special cologne? I'm not kidding dude. He's trying to fuck We've had so many guests on the show and you're getting treated he's prepared for you the most this is actually beautiful honored Yeah, I mean okay. You know you just play the game. I like really really good you know, you just play the game I like really, really good, and you make funny video. Why'd I start playing the game? Ooh.

That's a good question. And I would like Slime to listen to this. He started playing the game from a video that me and GeoWizard made together. Exactly. That is crazy. I vividly remember the exact scenario. What was it?

I don't even remember. You guys were just playing. He was like blindfolded. And I remember he made that specific Greece Island call out. Oh, yeah. Chechia? Chechia Chavia? Something. I don't remember the exact island, but sure. Yeah. Yeah. And then I was like on the couch watching him like, holy crap.

And then I raised up and I went to my laptop and like, let's go. I locked in. You got so much better than me in about six months and then so much, so much better than me in the years that followed. You recently did the World Cup thing. That was crazy. Oh, OK. I was having an argument because I watched this with Nick Yingling,

who yelled out Ohio every round. Yeah. I have a power band in my Twitch chat. Yeah. He just learned about it. Let him express himself. That is the spam and he's doing the spam. Are you as good as the people on the stage?

That's a question everyone asks. Is it true? Are you? No. Okay. And you're willing to say that. I'm the first to admit it. Okay, yeah, yeah. There's probably like multiple like people

you could compare me to in like other like spaces, but. This was my guess when we talked about you coming on. Do you follow Chess at all? Do you know who Levy is? Yeah, Gotham Chess. Yeah, like he is amazing at Chess. He's very, very good. But he's not as good as Magnus Carlsen.

Or like a 12-year-old. But because he's so good, and because he has a YouTube channel, and he's good at speaking about the game, he's really good for like talent, evaluating and like presenting the game to people and I was like that seems kind of like I'll take that comparison. Yeah. Yeah, I get compared to him a lot and like that in the in the same way I will say like the way the World Cup format to it favors not my play style So like the World Cup is like what is that? I'm sorry. What is that?

Guess your play style so there's three formats right like moving no move in a busy So like the World Cup is like, what does that mean? I'm sorry. What does that mean? Your geoguessr playstyle? So there's three formats, right? Like moving, no move, NMPZ. Could I compete in the World Cup if it was NMPZ only? NMPZ upside down, it's black and white and you only get to see it for half a second. The more RNG the better. NMPZ same for. Just like you get one still shot, like one photo and you can't move. Oh, like the shit you go insanely viral for?

Yeah, because that's all I really play. I don't practice anything else do there were they were Loki horrible out in the World Cup like but that map wasn't Impossible it was it a custom. I just it was a custom map for the World Cup that whoever made that map was like hating They had like weird-ass like They had like weird ass like single person roads in Brazil And it was in the they spent the whole minute just clicking around sadly just trying to guess where it was I like them finding it like you said like it's like Brazil And then you just there's a K truck there and just like making some sort of like hey I yeah planted fucked up image to throw you off the scent. And you just have to actually have been down that road. Yeah, you need to get in big Google.

Listen, Rainbow, it's great to have you on. Ludwig smells amazing because of you today. But I want to make I'm trying to understand, trying to contextualize all this because I am a professional Super Smash Brothers player and Tekken player. You're not sorry. He's lying to you. No, you're laughing. You're lying. He's not a professional to you. No, you're laughing. You're lying. He's caught a professional. Live, laugh, lie.

Is that what we do here? At Bed Bath & Beyond? Hey, I'm trying to find my new fucking friend. You're acting like he doesn't know anything. What? Like you're acting like he doesn't know anything about anything. Like he'll just look at you and be like, yeah, you're probably a professional. He did recognize me in the parking lot.

Yeah, see you on Twitter. Yeah, my go- anyway, so're probably a professional. She did recognize me in the parking lot. Yeah, I see you on Twitter. Yeah, my go. Anyway, so I'm a pro, right? Like, I go to tournaments. What does it, how do you become, and it's going to be a level one question, but I'm really interested in it.

How do you become good at geo-guessing? Is just studying like a normal person about like. Start watching dubbing. Cultures, is dubbing involved in this? Breakfast of champions consumes some sort of lovely product I mean it's not like something that you can just like start off being good at like no one starts off like even if you've traveled a ton like most people start on square zero okay so it's like you have

to start by just like playing a lot and you have to like read a ton of documents and like watch a ton of YouTube videos and like what kind of documents dude where do I even begin? I've seen them bro what is this? Zipper can you oh shit I wonder if I can link it Zipper just groans he's like okay It might be bookmarked on his phone so you can ask him I mean there's like there's like thousand plus page documents on like Nigeria Are these Nigeria?

I would guess they're specific targeted documents Only people made from the Jigs community for the GGS community. So it's not like Nigerian studies. It's for the game. And it's like mainly like Google car stuff. Oh, my God. It's not like even about the landscape. It's about like the Google car, like the driver, like the color of the car, like things like that.

So it's like super in the weeds. But it's like only to be good at region guessing Nigeria. It's not like when you go to Nigeria, you'll be good at recognizing. You can recognize like the street view car or like the different coverage of like the seasons and things like that. Oh, I would say there's some translation, but like what? Like, yeah, there's a lot that doesn't. What is the translation like as you have traveled around?

What's a geoguess or develop skill that has has turned into something valuable? I'm not doubting that. You went to LAX, you're like, wait a second. It feels like I'm in LA. I would have guessed it had some real life application, but now from the way it's being described, I'm like, how does it actually fit in? So I mean there's like meta that's like just like like camera, but you still do learn a lot about the countries so there is like unique polls and like different like things around like different regions of like Countries that still are unique But if you want to be at like the people in the World Cup competing a lot of what they're relying on is like

Google meta like the copyright the season the oh shit. Yeah, like what season like wait What did you do copyright like in the background like the little over? Yeah, like what season like? Wait, what did you do? Copyright? Like in the background? Like the little over like the thing? Yeah, like the little copyright. So like some countries like, let's say for example, like Russia hasn't been updated for a while. So it will only have 2021 copyright. But if you have 2023 copyright, it can be Russia. So there's like cheese. Yeah. So there's like, you're looking at things like that,

that when you're watching a pro play, you're not even thinking about, like they're even looking at that. Yeah. So if I sent you a doc, I't know if it it's just one of them But as an example, but I tried cracking into this recently because I've been doing this god gamer challenge. I've been watching It's I feel like every time I tune in it's always just GeoGuessr Bro, GeoGuessr got so bad that Connor crashed out and we can't play it anymore It's off the menu. It's off the it's off the it's all right.

It's one of our higher win rate games. It's relatively fast, but he would rather go to Overwatch, which I played seven games of because he hates it so much because what happens is people got good enough at even gold level that they know all the meta information. Like recently, there was like a fucking it was like one of them cars, like a like a bike rack on top. And I thought it was gone because I had a sticker. I saw this happen live. Okay Yeah, and other people actually went Reunion. Yeah, it was like how they get that. It was Reunion a French island outside of Madagascar

Which I only know because my cousin went there and got sick. That's crazy. I didn't know where it was in the world until these Yo guys people got it. Can you just scroll through like the middle click scroll whoa just as fast as possible like here's fucking just keep going Look at all these telephone poles. Yeah, it's just a telephone pole document This is like a this is an outdated document But this is like a micro document that shows an example of like telephone poles Google cars through this different license plates This is like a crack and this is like a like a crash course document. Yeah, this is this is crazy This is 101. Yeah

Who's like the where's the compass do you think the geoguessor community is better at triangulating a location than the government? I would say some people probably like I mean the guy don't even know what the government's capable of though to be honest like I would assume they're probably good, but at most times, Jigs of Players just look at copyright on cars. Yeah, right. So there's a balance of like... Yeah, yeah. Imagine the military being like,

all right, all right, Rainbow, go ahead, tell us where the Russians are. It's like, well, where's the copyright? What's the season? Are we in winter right now? Dude, one of my favorite Discord memories is, dude, it was during COVID. We're all playing GeoGuessing at like 3 a.m. And it's somewhere in South America. I think it was Mexico.

Was it Mexico or was it South America? It was either. Do you remember? You're in the crowd. I'm obviously not helping contribute to this. This is a problem. We're all playing. We're all playing two against her at the same time. And we were like clicking through and there was a sign that said Madalaga. And then do you know where that is? No, I think it's in the back. I think it's in the back. I think it's in the back.

I think it's in the back. I think it's in the back. I think it's in the back. I think it's in the back. I think it's in the back. I think it's in the back. I think it's in the back. I think it's in the back. I think it's in the back. We're all playing, we're all playing too yesterday at the same time. And, uh, we were like clicking through and there was a sign that said Madalaga Guape and then, do you know where that is? No. He's washed, bro.

And I remember we just spent so long looking on Google maps for the town, the small town of Madalaga Guape. And it was like 40 minutes and Yan, this is like at 3 AM. Yan pops off in the call. He's like, dude dude I found it! I found Model A Guapé! I found Model A Guapé! And he's like jumping up and down like he got the golden ticket we find it it was the craziest shit ever and then we found out we geo-guessed correctly um and that... We geo-guessed correctly. As like a squad you were in this but you didn't find Model A Guapé.

We defused the spike. I probably started this trend in our Discord. Yeah, you were in the call. Yeah, I've been on that shit for a while. I confirmed it with him, I'm OG. This is the old-fashioned way to play. That's like the Geowizard way to play. Which is like unlimited time, scanning over, just poring over a map. And trying to find where you're at. Which is theoretically the lamest way to play. I think it was like, I liked watching Geo Wizard do it

because then he would do the fast forward video and he would play his own music, which is nice. But it has phased out because I think doing it yourself, it's like, fuck it, I just want to click. Were you doing something, so I have a friend, he's one of the guys who runs the biggest Smash tournament in the world called Genesis, and one of his hobbies is he likes just getting on Google,

Google Earth or or Google Maps and just dropping into random locations and scrolling. And he's done this for years. And he just likes seeing like, oh, like what type of streets connect to this tiny type of tiny city in this country? Pre Geo guesser existence. Let me tell you this. Boback would not do this if he didn't have the pen. This is not Boback.

It's Sheridan. Sheridan. Yeah. He would not do this if he didn't have the pen. This is not Boback. It's Sheridan. Sheridan, yeah. He would not do this. He's like, he's more of this guy. He just like loves city skylines and stuff like that. Were you doing anything like that before? Like, did you just like browse maps in your free time? Not really. Like, if I was ever going to this review, it'd be like to check if there's like parking.

And that was like, I wasn't like, yeah, I was always like curious about like the world. I thought the world was sick. But do you think that you like it's just so chaotic that you may as well have gotten into something else because you're like the the geoguessing guy. Right. Yeah. People put your picture like as a man with the locks in. It's like a photo of an anime like feet or something

like flying to feet I'm not the end of the feed guy I'm like some really really niche board it's like you're locked in your face yeah that's fucking insane like your face is so well known

for dragons of dawn do you hate that? No, it's fine You can't be mad. Yeah. Yeah. How old are you 25 25? Yeah, how often are you getting? You getting recognized in like day-to-day life. Well, I live in Thailand. Yeah, so most high people Most high people don't really consume like media. It's like mainly in Thai. Is there a good GeoGuest here from Thailand? Yeah, there's a couple of good YouTubers and players. At the local.

Yeah, he says that. Dude, that'd be hype. Bangkok locals. With the VR goggles on and shit. Actually, though. But I mean, if I go to like a touristy area, it's like, you know, one to two. Bro, have you met Moo Dang? Who the hell is that? What the fuck? I go to like a tourist area, it's like, you know, one to two. Well, have you met Moodang?

Who's that? What the fuck? Are you guys kidding me? Yeah, zipper, please. OK, it's a street fighter player. Probably a Dota player. Thailand. Yeah, please. Moodang the baby hippo. You dumb bastard. So much better than what I remember.

Is he in Thailand? Yeah, this is a Thailand zoo. And he's a pygmy hippo named Mu Dang, which I think means pork bun. I have to go. We'll go on the yellow background, go up. He's the hottest sensation. That is what my actual poops look like. He's the hottest sensation.

He's kind of eclipsing Fiona, who was the kind of the star child baby hippo from the Ohio Zoo. What the fuck are you laughing at? We all have our shit. I'm the geoguessor of baby animals. That's just crazy. This is awesome. But also in Thailand, have you saw the gibbons? There's gibbon monkeys there. They're native. I feel like you've talked about this before.

Are you? Do you listen to the yard? Yeah, I have Yeah, fucking good. I'm a Patreon No way! Wait, is that true? Yeah, you can check my subscription That's fucking hardcore You really gotta chump check him here Someone, someone

Check it Thank you, well that makes me feel good It's like when we found out like Tweak and Magi and all these gamers listen Oh my god. Yeah real gamers listen to the art page when Quinn famously not Dota didn't get a ring this year What from Dota from Dota Dota Dota? And Walshy and that guy was good at pinball in our discord you you are Pantheon of soldiers

You are in the pantheon of soldiers. Yes. Along with that guy who's good at pimples. He's like number one. He's great at pimples. Yeah. Yeah. OK. Tell me about Thailand because you, like I remember it vividly.

You were like, I'm just going to go travel the world now. And then you did it. And then you travel the world for, I don't know where exactly you went. And then you're just like, yeah, I'm going to stay in Thailand now. Why Thailand? Yeah. So I spent a year just like traveling. I had, I just had like a portable setup.

I just bring like a laptop, second monitor, like my camera, whatever, instead of videos. You were like, also like, just crashing on people's places, right? Like is this where you found the Google car? Yeah, so I had a friend in Germany, like other GSR pros. If I ever went to like a new country, I would like message friends that lived there, and like from the GSR community. It's cool, it's like Smash. It's like community is something you can achieve through video games. Yeah, it's, I mean all my friends, day to day, it's the. It's like Smash. It's like Melee. Community is something you can achieve through video games.

Yeah. It's all my friends day to day. It's the only people I talk to. Are there like, are there like different like mains? Like I main, I main Europe. Yeah. Yeah. There's definitely like Australian mains, Russian mains. People are known for like their country that they're good at. That's so sick.

What's yours? I'll take Cray for Thailand right now. I would consider myself one of the better Thailand players. That's cringe. Why is that cringe? Because you live there. Yeah, but like, it's fun. Don't learn about it.

No, I don't. It's Thailand, man. It's also it's probably not the best main to be, though. It's like low-key a low tier because it's not that big of a country. So it's like the point differential. That's a fair point. Yeah. Also, if you see a Gibbon, you're like, that's only in one of two places. If you made Russia, you're pretty. Yeah. That's a fair point. Yeah. Also if you see a gibbon, you're like that's only in one of two places If you made Russia, you're pretty

I feel like you keep bringing a bet you're really focused on the gibbon. Can we not talk about the fucking gibbons? Have you seen them? But either you're they're right there I guess I have I live right next to you. Have you seen that that that London taxi driver who plays Geoguessr in London? Yeah, Tom, I think is his name. Is cool. He has like the world record in London. Like he like spawns in. He's like, oh, I know exactly where I am. Oh, for just London? Because he's the... Oh, I see.

Because he drives taxis there. And be like, oh, this is exactly this corner. The test to become a cab driver there is so hard. Yeah. Oh, really? Yeah. To become a cab driver. That is so hard. Yeah. Oh, really? Yeah. Do we come a cab driver in London? You have to like memorize all the fucking streets.

Why would you just use navigation? Apparently it's worse. It just hasn't caught up. It is one of those ancient cities. That's why it's built so shit. Because I think traffic can spawn if you use navigation while you're navigating through the navigation thing. I see. Yeah. Look, you look at something like, uh, you look at a city like London and then you look at like Phoenix, Arizona,

and you're like, Ooh, they plan this. This is a grid. Cab driver there. They let babies be cab drivers. It's fine. That's legal there. You can be drunk in a car. So why'd you land on Thailand? I used to like, it was my first time ever really leaving America, going into like Europe and then I went to Asia and just like fell in love with Bangkok. It's like the standard like, you know, everything everyone says. I think Anthony Bourdain has a quote where he was like, my first time in Asia, it was like, it was the first moment I realized I was like living my life in like black and white,

which is like pretty profoundly like real in my opinion like it resonate with that It's like like everything is new again And like you can start learning and you know start learning Thai and then like start like Experiencing new cultures and food and it's just like fun for me. You're like Aiden I actually realized this before when we met you out there. You are like if all of us got crammed into one guy Okay, what does he have from each of us? Okay, so Aiden, his love for other places in the world that aren't the US, he said he'd never move back here. Really?

And coming here was a wake-up call. You wouldn't want to freaking move back to Jersey and let someone pump your own damn gas at the Garden State. Now that you mention it. That sounds delightful. Ludwig, he has a yearn for, for, you have big content and numbers And he's a big streamer Embedays!

Embedays! Embeday, like water in his butthole Yeah, I think so Do they use the hose, or do they use the... I just have like the little button you press, it just... Most public places have the hose though Yeah, the hose, I know the hose is big Skip Slime and Me

What the fuck, come on! I'm getting you after, I'm running out of time I just had to think longer about you. Look, the Berks, the baggy pants, the fucking. The oversized. The oversized, but yeah. Yeah, you do kinda have that shit on. Are you kidding me?

That is a Nick fit. All right, so that's me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And, ooh, and. Ah, let's go. Yeah. Uh. I feel like.

Obsessed with an Asian country for a weird reason. What is that? His reason is so normal. His reason is very normal. His reason is a geoguessor. I like gibbons, they look like they have little coats on. How can you not? We're arguing right now. That's not my point.

It's not weird. Let me ask you a question, Rainbow. Is it pink? What the fuck? I wasn't supposed to do a profound question. Fuck. Dude. Chokey on Red Bull.

Baloki answer in the water. What the fuck? Well, he didn't answer. But why are you as a man living in a place called Bangkok? True. Wait, why not? Isn't that what you want? That's the beast's response. If you've watched the yard we do occasionally ask a question you don't have to answer. Are you cut or uncut?

Uh, cut. I'm American. New Jersey baby. Hey, two Americans. Two Americans. Two Americans right here. You're kind of Canadian. I'm American. I had to fight for it. You didn't fight for shit, man. Did you? Yeah. You're nationalized? We had to take the... I'm nationalized? You're nationalized nine times. You're nationalized?

You know I am. I don't really know. You're 6'2 in white, dude. That's like the pre-check of... It was rough for me. It was rough for me. You never knew if you were gonna get thrown out. Wait, do you have to pay American taxes?

Yes. Do you? Yes. Why would you ask two times? Because we get ours. We get ours. Yeah. The IRS comes for us all.

Is it worth denouncing if you're never going to move back? Good question. Well, you'd have to secure your statehood in Thailand first and then renounce your statehood before the Department of State. I feel like it's easy. Am I crazy? To do? Statehood in Thailand versus some other countries? I don't know. Some countries are uptight about it.

Have you looked into getting a Thai passport? Um... My visa gives me, like, citizenship after, like, five years. Yow! Yeah, so... That's pretty strong. Yeah. What visa are you on? It's called the Thai Elite Visa. It's, like, really weird. It yes, that's pretty strong. Yeah. Well, what visa are you on?

It's called the Thai elite visa. It's like really weird. It's kind of pay to win. OK, yeah, hell yeah. But it's not. It's good. Fucking go. Do you still get it? Maybe it's five years.

I actually don't know that it could have been a lot. We don't really have pay to win visas here in America, right? For sure. It's just way expensive. Yeah, different level of pay to win. I think.

Oh, there's not like the the they won't show the place usually a pay to win option if you. Oh, there's not like the the they won't show the price. Usually a pay to win option if you're if you're at a big enough threshold. Guess what? Being a pro gamer, it's you don't like it. You're not you're not tall enough to ride this ride. Like Gabe Newell in New Zealand. Do you know about do you know about that?

During Covid, he moved to New Zealand and just bought citizenship because which is like not a normal thing you can do there, but he's just a billionaire, and he was just like, I lived there for six months and purchased it. In his giant steam sale bunker. How do you make money? So, like I was mentioning to someone before, I don't even really post on short form as much anymore,

maybe once every three or four months, but I have my main channel on YouTube, second channel on YouTube that's daily. My main channel on YouTube is once every week, once every other three weeks. Oh, so you just have raw content. I actually have this thing called Thailand Sounds, like an ASMR. No one even knows this is me really.

Maybe some people, but we have a deal with Pandora, where we have a guy with like Pandora where it's like it's like only we have like a guy that records Like like Tyrene like it's from Ty's just a guy who's like just like a microphone And it's a yes, we're like doing like a million streams on like Pandora Pandora was a thing. Yeah, so we're on like they're like the biggest rain radio there I Would be remiss if I didn't say that I don't pop on a walking through Seoul cloudy day 48 hours rain Hear me when I yell at you through your headset. Yeah, because I'm walking through Seoul.

On your way to PC bang. What what inspires you to work on a channel like that? Are you brought into it? Is it your idea? Can you find this? Yeah. Well, is it Pandora exclusive? No, it's on Spotify.

But you should like really succeed on Pandora because they put us in like the biggest playlist. Oh, that's sick. It's kind of like the biggest rain playlist. Yeah. Wow. Wait, what part do you? What do you contribute to the rain plate like sounds? Are you like they're going? So it's it's it's no it's You have no idea. It's like anything I did. Okay, but it's like It's all it's gonna sound cringe. It's's like my favorite places I've been in Thailand.

It's like the sounds from those places. Okay. That's cool. That's nice. Yeah, so it's like my favorite like waterfall or like market. Okay, so you're like curating it. Yeah, so like I hire someone with like a professional set up and everything to go like- Is it just audio or video?

It's just audio. Dude. And so they just go there and they have like- And you're sort of directing them to capture- They just do it. I just tell them where my favorite places are. I got an idea for you, usually worth a million dollars, the record shows. Raynogesser.

There... that's good. Y'all know what I'm saying? No, it's not. I think he likes it. It sounds like he likes it. There used to be an old G-Gesser plug-in where instead of getting the location, it would play their radio. And so you would have to guess like what country radio is.

Dude it's like when. It's kind of similar. When Whirl came out then then Hurdle came out and then there'd be like like Hurdle for like certain like there's like a Taylor Swift Hurdle. Swiftle. Yeah Swiftle. Sorry. Horsal.

Yeah and now there's like 8000 that Northern Lion plays. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. plays. Yeah, Auto just made Porter Robinson or whatever. Auto made that? Porter Robinson, yeah. It's really hard though.

It's so fucking funny. You know Northern Lion was like the first ever video? Did you guys hear a video uploaded? It was from Northern Lion. Really? Yeah, it's like... No, don't tell me this bro. Me and three other pros spent weeks trying to find the first ever video uploaded

for like a documentary another Jester player was making. There was like one news article like right when it came out and it's like northern lion it's like right what year is that i don't even know like 2013 that's insane he's a menu gamer menu gaming he's just like a legend you're pissed you're pissed because he called you dumb ass out i'm yeah i'm pissed because i started i bought i got a peloton for my girlfriend and then i started riding the peloton because I don't like running.

And then I told Chad offhand, I was like, yeah, I've been riding the Peloton. And then it gets to Northern Lion, and he's like, you see Ludwig's been riding the Peloton, and he got an air fryer? This guy wants to beat me. And I'm like, I don't know, I don't even have an air fryer. It's funny, he didn't even say it that way. He's casually playing literally a game where you're Sisyphus

rolling a boulder up a hill, and he's saying he wants to beat me so bad. And then he sent me such helpful messages after on the best Peloton classes. And now I'm riding to Sam Yeo, 30 minute high intensity. You know how it is. You should start listening to the O.G. Talking about the Thailand rain sounds. I think the rain wouldn't. I need like I need a British man yelling at me,

telling me to keep going, otherwise I'll fall. It is one of my favorite stories about Ludwig is, you know, you obviously, I'm sure, where he's very good at mashing. But the A button? This is new. Like for, no. I'm good, I'm one of the best masher's in the world.

Oh. Like he literally is like, he can mash an A button extremely quick, right? Nice. And one... You know how much I hurt by the way that you told me point crows good at it. Oh my god I was just like I don't even care So good at it now fuck anymore, but it's like we were good before they were good

You know, I mean, we're like the canon Isaiah this shit, dude but yeah, we were at we were at a party at the old house a bunch of issues to live in and Ludwig was there and He he like it dude. It's like 2 in the morning and Ludwig was there, and he, like, dude, it's like two in the morning, everyone is just either passed out or just mildly gaming or about to go to sleep. He is shirtless with giant headphones on in the middle of the living room, just trying to mash as hard as he can on Mario Party alone. Wait, this is real?

Yeah, this is real. You're actually really good at it. Well, it's like, so we played Mario Party 4, which is the most competitive Mario Party, if you didn't know. And I wasn't very good. And so I was like, what's a skill set I can grow? And it was mashing, because no one was that good. And so I looked up videos and I practiced

while people hung out and partied. In Mario Party 4, there's a game called Dom. Have you played Mario Party? I don't think so. Do you have Domination on Mario Party 4? Yeah, so there's a game called Domination, and you have 10 seconds to press the A button as many times as you can. And the game caps you at 160.

So if you're able to press it 16 times a second, then you hit the game's cap. And we found that out when we were really into the game, and we were like, oh my god, we got to try to hit 160. And Ludwig was the first one of us to do it. And then I was second and then... And then a modder who mods melee stuff came out, he uncapped Domination. So there's a mod where it uncaps

and now you can, you have 10 seconds to do it. We reached out to like the big, like one of the biggest modders for Super Smash Brothers and we're like, I don't know if this game is like, you know, Spanish to Italian to you, but if you could make this happen, that would be awesome. And he uncapped it. And so we were like, oh, let's see how much

we can actually get. And the love was like, it was over 200. I was the world record because it was first get 201 in the mod and then the goat came from the shadows, saw my video and then dropped 240. Dude, what I never been beaten again. I was pretty obsessed with Mario Party for a while, and I was like grinding like every single game and When I saw it silver boxer was like interacting with lovely. I was like do this guy's no fucking joke

I'm like I'm the only person who like knew who that was I was like that guy's no fucking joke He's gonna fucking cream you dude. He's like nah, whatever he drops. He rips like what was like 234 or something Yeah, it's like 20 like 20 almost 24 times, whatever. He drops, he rips like, what was it, like 234 or something. Yeah, 234. It was like 20, like 20, almost 24 times a second. He was go. I think what what what is fascinating about you, Rain Bolt, in terms of like normies see you and they're like, holy shit, this guy's like crazy talented at looking at a picture. But like I think with us, we we also we are we are brought together

initially before the show and before everything by being obsessed about something, which was Melee, like a video game, right? And like the idea of being so good at something that you, I don't know, you get rewarded for it. Kind of the difference between what you getting into GeoGuessr and maybe any other video game or e-sport, maybe besides like chess ish. Is that like if you if you pop off or become super knowledgeable about,

like even something League of Legends, super popular, right? Your content around that thing can't really like break through to the masses. But because GeoGuessr is like this idea of just knowing locations on Earth, I feel like it's really cool because anybody watching doesn't have to understand like this new game or eSports like find what you're doing really really interesting exactly yeah they don't need to know that Fox reflector comes out in a frame but what was I gonna ask I forgot I was gonna ask because the you're you're presumably

pouring over these documents to get good at the game at the beginning like you're looking at these types of things, right? Have you taken like were you doing this with other types of games before like have you ever? Drove into something else like that like you guess yours like my first real game. I kind of sweat are you a gamer? Uh, I play fortnight. Yo, are you nasty? No, I play zero builds. I'm like it's like cringe NPC fortnight. Okay It's just like fun with my friends or like like golf with friends with like you guys are guys I mean like I'll play like party games right like your big hobby growing up I grew up in very like rural Arkansas like 13 people might graduate in class. No shit Yeah, flipping high school. There's actually a thousand kids at the school

flipping high school. There's actually a thousand kids at the school. It was a really bad teacher. It was K through 12, like one building. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, like super like small town Arkansas. I played basketball growing up. So like, yeah. But are you nasty?

I picked in high school for sure. Dude. I have like this one clip of me like hitting like this like last second, like half court shot that you just like lynched onto. Yes sir. The fade away half court. It was like. It was a fadeaway. You're not getting pressed down. It was it was yeah but no I definitely picked in high school.

I wish you'd say longer we could ball. Yeah get some shots up. Yeah I also grew up in a rural area and I feel like it it I don't know, I always resented the fact that I grew up in such a low traffic place, which is why I like cities now, when I became an adult. Like for me, it was like, that's why I think GST was so fun for me, because it's like growing up, I think in like this small town, you kind of, you think that that's the whole world.

It's hard for you to see, like my perception of Thailand, when I was like 13, 14, you kind of, you think that that, you think that like that's the whole world. It's hard for you to see like, like my perception of Thailand when I was like 13, 14, was probably like, you know, third world country, like super poor, like, yeah, do you guys think it was like a way to learn and like, you're almost forced out or you're forced in when you're in a small town. Yeah. So.

Do your parents get it? Do they like fucking understand what's going on? Yeah. Like with your life? Yeah. Okay. I think so. Yeah. Talk to fucking understand what's going on? Yeah. Like with your life? Yeah. Okay. I think so. Yeah, I talk to my parents. Cause like we all have at some point have had to explain to our parents like yeah it's

called Super Smash Brothers, I know it's like... I'm about to spend as much time I spent in school on this video game and learn nothing. So... You good with that. I hope so, because I'm doing it. But like, they get it. Yeah, they get it. That's cool. Dude, actually, GeoGuessr works really well with parents

because that's what I played when I went back home sometimes, like with my mom. I throw them the TV and just go to like a random spot. And then like she gets really excited when it looks like France. That's France. It's like Poland. I'm like, ah, close though. Dude, can we talk about the cultural impact of Polish trees? Dude, Polish trees at the World Cup was hype.

I love that. What happened? This was like a moment when I was playing GeoGuessr with Schlatt, where I had like, I think picked up, maybe through you, like, or I forget who. I think this was before my era. At some point, I had picked up that like trees in Poland look somewhat like birch trees occasionally. Not even always Poland, not even always birch. But they're tall and they look birchy.

And then and then I'm playing with Schlatt and and I'm like, I guess. And I was like, yeah, the trees look Polish. And he freaks out. He crashes Schlatt way. He goes, the trees look Polish. Ludwig. And then it'm like, I guess. And I was like, yeah, the trees are Polish. And he freaks out. He crashed a flat way. He goes, the trees look Polish. Ludwig. And then it was like, it was like, it turns out it wasn't even. Pulling like a stone. Yeah, the guest was like kind of bad.

I think I might be wrong. It's either this or Sri Lanka. Yeah. Those trees were not Polish. Yeah, no, I think it's probably the most view. Yeah sure when it spawns you in a fucking forest That's real great Where you guessing I like that plays a Taco Bell noise Well, I don't know if we're gonna find the moment that's pulling either that's no I was beast yeah

Poland either. I don't really know. No, I was beast. Yeah. Hell no! It's still in green blurs right here. How? How? How? How did you know what country it was? Well, okay, so oftentimes, like these trees look Polish,

but they're a little more birch-y Polish. What? The trees look Polish, he said. The trees look Polish. Yeah, so anyway. Yeah, it just became like a one-liner that I just like rely on. The trees look Polish. The trees look Polish. Sometimes they look Polish.

It's just how it is. But yeah, I was casting like the final game of the World Cup and it was Poland. I was like, the trees look Polish. It was a runway reference? It's like a one-way combo. Yo! One-way combo with a tree. Dude, yeah, the World Cup finals was really fun to watch.

I have a question about the Grand Finals. Why was the American guy guessing so quickly and the French guy guessing, taking so much time? And then when it always came down to it, the French guy was usually a little more right. Why was he going so fast if he wasn't certain? So the French guy, Blinky, is notoriously the best player in the game of all time.

If you were to ask anyone, not a lot of people would say Blinky. I think he got second last World Cup, won this World Cup. Yeah, he's like, he's the goat. Okay. But he's so good, especially at moving, that he knows how to find the exact location in 15 seconds, no matter where he is. And so MK, the American, knew that. And so as soon as you guess, it puts the timer on. Oh, so he's giving him less time.

He's giving him less time. So he has 15 seconds. So, like, you instant send to give him less time and then hope that you're hedged. Interesting. That's playing the player. That doesn't sound very good at all. I mean, it worked for a couple of games. And definitely the more, like... There was definitely, like, tournament nerves, you could tell.

Because there was, like, points where, as the Grand Finals went on, it looked like Blinky got nervous and less time hurt him a lot. But but he clutched up in the grand finals was funny, too, because this like the penultimate round was in the US and M.K.'s from I think it's like Pittsburgh. Oh, yeah. And the penultimate round was in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Yeah. Which is like it's like you should get that. in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Yeah. Which is like, it's like, he should get that. But he guesses Pittsburgh.

Yeah. If he had guessed Philly, he would have won. So he guesses hometown loses. Do you think they can hear the crowd? Like, you think that they spawned and everyone went like, oh! It was like, I'm going Pittsburgh. I have an inside story from last year's World Cup

where the players could hear the sounds of the crowd and the Canadian Guessed Canada because the crowd started getting excited. That's what I'm saying, dude Oh, was it right? No, it ended up being like Maine He was like, he thought the crowd thinking it was Canada meant like I said it or something like was Canada Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, so the crowd hears you the commentators because they say the crowd wouldn't know better than them This is a thing in Counter-Strike. Like when two players are approaching a corner in like in make older majors the crowd would start going Oh, and they'd be like they back off the corner like oh there must be a person here And it was really bad

But I think with Dota like they wouldn't go for early strats that would be exciting because the crowd would just give it away Yeah, if you're trying to like if you're trying like Roche early Yeah, but now they do you guys are gave them like headphones So like blast their own playlist and they have like mega noise canceling over that I was ripping the Colombian license plate yellow 45 minutes on What's a big issue for chess it's why like chess games are like fucking silent Yeah

because we wanted to do a chess game one time and it was like planned to have this like arena game with two really good players. And they were like, OK, we need to be in a soundproof glass box. We were talking about, yeah, how the idea of spectators seemed so appealing. But the the layers of friction to get anybody to agree with that were just so high. But there's always that one viral chess moment. It's like two guys from like fucking Princeton or Harvard or some shit and they're playing chess.

And then there's like a mate line and everyone starts popping off like zoo animals and then he gets it. And then he just like stands up to them. I wanted that, but it turns out you can't really get that without kind of cheating Loki. Yeah. You obviously had to compromise something. I remember for chess boxing, you yourself was like, yeah

I put those headphones on because you did flat boxing with Connor and it's like it just wasn't Yeah, I could easily cheat but I didn't honorably while The guy who throws for content that's all I'm saying I did a bad fucking job. You are literally the guy who throws for content. That's all I'm saying. I've never done that. Did you ever watch Ludwig live or is it mostly YouTube?

Like before the moment, the moment in your life that changed everything, which was seeing him play GeoGuessr. I had an actual like mega fan in my old like co-working space of Ludwig. Oh really? He would always watch you at lunch. Yeah, so I... What'd you work? So I worked at like a publishing company that... I made snapchat shows for like five years. I forgot that part

Well, he came to LA to work at snapchat. Oh, yeah. Well, it was like a publisher on snapchat Yeah, so I made like those. I worked at snap too. You were doing the translation stuff. Yeah. Yeah, technically I was a contractor So I never got the actual snap deployment, but I lost it but I lost it. What was the guy's name? Trey. Shout out Trey. Trey. He's not watching this shit bro. He's not here anymore but he was.

Trey we used to be something. We used to be somebody. Yo you become a member by the way now if you haven't if from Twitch if I'm on YouTube become a member. Please Trey the fall off was so hard Trey. I play League on that. Yeah League. Members only League streams are popping off. You're paying to watch me play League.

Imagine that one day I'm not playing GeoGastron, I'm playing League and then Rainbolt at Worlds. Yeah. I keep wondering. It's like we're just products of chaos. For any of us, it could have been anything. Where does Rainbolt come from? You've probably answered that before. That's my last name Fucking that's gotta be it. You're lying to us Google my name it shows up He's German

But it's spelled not the way it's exact same spelling Firetruck The fastest guy of all time was named Usain Bolt that is crazy Stage name no, it's got Look at me saying both of you say both. I don't buy that shit. Are you related to you say? It's not even the same name. I would bet my odds on no. St. Leo Bolt? Isn't that sick?

Don't go to his IG, go to Wikipedia. Wikipedia would never lie to me. Zippered his Zooms in. We've been missing so much. Okay, yeah. Damn. Wow. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

It's crazy to have the last name Bolt. Maybe he was just like young and he's like, I should get fast. Dude, that's one of my like, I should get fast. It's like I have to. Dude, that's one of my favorite tweets I've ever made. I was just like, it's crazy. And you like Rain. Is this like a fit? Yeah.

Pretty serendipitous. You know what I'm saying? You came around the other, you're living up to it. And I'd like to guess fast ones, you guess her. Do you, like you're saying like you're posting like short form less, like I've seen your main YouTube channel. What are like the flags that like oh I need to dive into some other form of content now like switch it up,

stop doing like GeoGuessr stuff or you just kind of kind of send it until it stops until it stops working. Like how do you know when to make a change if any? Yeah, I mean I don't really think too much about like, like a Juggester will be evergreen, I think for a while. Like I can always upload like a Juggester video and probably have like some of the core audience. I expanded like my main channel into like different like OSINT, it's like open source intelligence

or like finding things outside of Juggester. Yeah, I've seen that stuff. Finding like people's like past photos. Yeah. But yeah. That shit's tight. Yeah, it's fun. You know, like past photos. Yeah. But yeah. That shit's tight. Yeah, it's fun. You know, like another story.

You started that. What? You don't remember this? No. You like my whole content bucket of finding things for people started because of you too. Because of the Japanese couple? The Japanese Tokyo couple. Really?

That was the first one? I had never even thought about that until you sent that to me. Someone DM me, it was like a really sweet message. And it was like, hey, I got married and it was this place in Japan. We have this picture, but we want to revisit it. And we don't remember where we went. And I was like, well, the fuck you're asking me for. I don't know shit.

So I just sent it to Trevor and I was like, hey, man, these people want to find it. And then he tweeted it out and it went mega viral. Yeah, I saw that. However, it's funny too, because he was like at Ludwig and it's not me. It's like the software engineer I've been trying to buy that account from for years. But I didn't know that was the first one. Yeah, that was the first one. I never even thought about it.

That's such a Ludwig thing to have done, which is like, yeah, he fucking likes GeoGuess. You'll probably find it. Like there's no track record of him doing it. Yeah, that's my nephew knows computers. He can build your website. I do think that, do you think that most of the people who watch you are people who don't even play GeoGuessr? That would be my guess.

I would assume so. That probably gives you even more longevity. I think it's dabblers, but once you get it, it gets really low key on funun past, I think, gold. Because then it's just meta information. Yeah, like for me, I don't play Gaster anymore. What? No, I really don't.

Like, I have my daily second channel, but I play three games a day. Wow. And it's only for YouTube. Like, I still have, like, love the game. That's what the daily upload is. Yeah, it's like just three games a day. It's very similar to chess in the sense that given infinite time, chess is a very boring game that you can just solve and always play the right move.

Which I think GeoGuessr is probably somewhat similar in that regard. So when you make it faster and you give them less time, it's more exciting. And to push the human limit of what you can do in only ten seconds is more interesting. Dude, you're getting bored of your wife. That's so sad. No, I mean like... Then you have to do crazy shit in the bedroom. How much melee do you play, dude?

That's true. Okay, so I don't play GSR, but I spend all six hours a day on maps. Wait, wait, wait. You're not... I don't play melee, but I spend 20 hours a day with little dolls that I make fight and I think about who's winning. What do you mean maps? So like there's a website made by a Gesser player where you can basically just like coverage check, which is basically like just clicking and looking at Street View. And you can like mark different things that you find. So like right now I'm learning Thailand.

It's like I just go through and look at like pretty much every road, like main road and pick notes. You can notice stuff and mark it. Yeah. Wow. So you're trying to, this is not to travel. This is to become a Thai, like the best Thai player in the world. Yeah, and inherently I find cool places in Thailand

I want to go to. So it's like, I use it as like a travel guide and then like a way to learn Thailand. Okay. Oh my God, Amy could become addicted to this Yes, it's like you're like labeling like oh this is found here And I found this here like these plants are here and then you just like have a map that you kind of generate Okay, it's lime. I need an update Yeah, what's oh have you tried putting a factor meal in the microwave yet?

Shut up Shut up. I just think shut up. Shut up. I just think that. Shut up. I just think that. I'm an American. My grandparents didn't come here. They started in World War II.

No prep, no mess, fast and easy. Why would you even? It's even faster if you don't heat it up for two minutes. You're correct. But it's already fast even with the regular prep time. I live a busy life. I'm a day trader. You guys don't know that about me.

That's what I've been doing this whole time. It's Factor Man here to tell you that if you guys at home want to save money and save time and save yourself as a trouble. And if you're a day trader specifically, you can get factor meals, which are fresh, chef-prepared meals delivered straight to your door. And to be clear, you put them in the microwave for two minutes It's a long time. You genuinely don't have to if you need to you could be fueling your trades with the keto

Calorie smart vegan and veggie protein plus meals you could do vegan if you're dating someone who's vegan and you want to LARP for a week Oh Before you inevitably go back to the real you go back You'll go back for sure but for a week if you want to fake it you can I we've kind of rode this bit out. It's not a bit. I do eat these. I get so many in the mail.

I eat them regularly. 35 plus meal choices. You could have a different meal every single day for a whole month. Also, the audience knows it's not a bit. I just want to make it clear that like, if anything, I'm about this life. He's about this. You don't need to be about that part of it, but you can be about trying the meals that feature these premium ingredients.

Yeah, if you want to be about- You can get filet mignon. If you want to be about factor meals, you can go to factormeals.com slash theyard50 and use code theyard50 and you can get 50% off plus 20% off the next box in your subscription. I'm not kidding. I probably need an over 50 cold factor meals. If you're doing the math with your code yard50, you get 50% off and then 20% off your next box.

You get 70% off. And Rainbow, is it true that you gave Kendrick Drake's address? So probably. I've gotten like my, so there's like two in the main Juggester map. It's like a handpicked map. So someone went through and and picked every single location. Oh, really? Yeah. So if you want to play a good Gaster map,

most people probably start off with the world map, which is kind of NPC, if you're at a high level. It's fucking ass. It's so Europe-centric. It's so South America. It's either Paris, London, or random city. Is it literally just the mathematical odds of where the most locations are? Or how is that?

A dude picked it. Oh, it's curated? It's like, so the world map is like generated and mainly given you like things that it wants people to see. Like, oh, this looks like familiar with like Italy. Oh, okay. But like the handpicked map is like, it has like a good distribution of like every country. Yeah.

And like, you don't get like put in like, got rid of diverse world what happened to that wait they got rid of a diverse world okay i do want the lore diverse world so background it's like geoguessr comes out and the world map's boring because it gives you like the same old boring locations so there's a custom map you can create custom maps diverse world becomes the most popular and kind of the standard for playing for like from Geo Wizard era. DEI Geo Wizard, huh? DEI Geo Wizard, yeah. Now I've seen everything.

Yeah, Woke has taken a grip on it. But then Anti-Woke came in and they got rid of the DEI initiatives, the Diverse World. I don't know why, what's the lore? Why'd they get rid of it? So the map maker deleted it. Out of like protest for GeoGuessr. Oh what was his beef he doesn't like that they made it you have to pay to play and he doesn't

like avatars okay I think the avatar thing is fair because their arms are weirdly long this guy is incredibly base look at GeoGuessr and avatars they look weird when did this get implemented maybe three three four years ago? Okay, cuz when I Like to maybe like a year two years ago Probably also the price of the brick went up right like it cost it was like three dollars a month Yeah, how much well there was a lot of arrest in Colombia, but yeah, was there legacy? Avatars look how long the arms are They're like Gibbons. They look like squid arm So he didn't like these and deleted the map. That's well, I gotta say probably more the best CLDR

but yeah, and like in the Grand scheme of things he just didn't like their new business model with like having to have to like grand scheme of things. He just didn't like their new business model with like having to have to like pay to like have cool drip or like look I will echo that I think one super valuable aspect of GeoGuessr is learning the world and especially in America where our geography knowledge is dog shit. It is very fun if you are a teacher to be able to play this along with students but I don't believe at least when I checked last time they have like a teacher pricing to be able to like have a bunch of student accounts. So I was telling my mom, cause she's a teacher, she's a French teacher, like you could just handpick or use like one of the French speaking maps and show how many countries speak French.

She can't do that unless every student signs up for GeoGuessr. And then also, you know, if they use their whatever free games. Yeah, you can make like a challenge link, but yeah, it's like not very user friendly. It's not very user friendly. And I'm like, they should just make a way. It's like a cheaper subscription for teachers to like get students in. Cause that's like, that's insane.

It's like one of those main values. Paying for GeoGuessr has been around a long time though, right? Like for an account. Like I feel like I paid for my account in like 2020 or something. Yeah. I mean, it's always been like, like a toxic like way to like, like you could either pay or you could play or you could play for five minutes at a time. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's always been like like a toxic like way to like Like you could either pay or you could play or you could play for five minutes at a time. Yeah It's like but no one's like it's like

Hostile. Yeah. Yeah, dude. It's like when Yan will he doesn't pay for the New York Times crossword. He just uses the copy website Oh, he also scrapes. Yeah. Yeah, he has a chrome extension that'll scrape. Yeah Yan is not a poor person Oh, he also scrapes. Yeah, yeah. He has a chrome extension that will scrape. Yeah. New York Times. And refuses. Yen is not a poor person. He just hates the people of New York. He hates it, but he loves the crossword. He's a Fox guy, but he loves the crossword.

Yeah. So the equivalent here is you open up GeoGuessr, you see it, then you go to Google Maps. Yeah, you just play along and home. Where was that? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that makes sense. I get that.

I mean, look, I was having a fit. I crashed out on stream because I saw they sponsored all these people to watch the World Cup. Bro, I was going to say, where's your admin? I don't get no damn admin. You know, I filmed an ad for the World Cup too. Oh, with a handshake. That's just a fumble. You probably would have been one of the bigger streams, if not biggest.

No, I think it's actually. Hey, come on. Tell me. I played 15 hours of GeoGuessr in the week that the World Cup happened for free. They have me by the in front of 20 K people. I tell them, tell the class why they didn't select you. I might have said this is the most dogshit game to have ever been made. I'm going to kill myself in front of all you guys in real life with a gun I'm gonna change the course of your lives this game so fucking ass

I can't believe people play this even rainbow should top stop playing maybe end his life, too Maybe I said that What kind of country do we live in if we can't say that I mean, that's what I'm saying Well, you gotta guess which I can't blame you. I Heard it also might have been a twitch bounty, but I can't confirm because I'm not on twitch So I'm not sure well I think what they did jigs are is an interesting company that like the people employees very nice But I think what they did is they went like slowly no and it's like sorted by like oh

Yes, sir, and then so oh on Twitter and who's played it and that's like only how they found that And they just kind of like check check their body. You can stream on damn YouTube now. Yeah, exactly Send us your best memes So like to get the info for that cost a lot for like the YouTube one because I bought it stream charts That's like the website that tweets out like top YouTube streamer of the week Yeah, recently hit to get it out It's like top 10 YouTube streamers and it's like like American ones and it's like the website that tweets out like, top YouTube streamer of the week. And then recently they tweeted out, it's like top 10 YouTube streamers. And it's like American ones.

And it's like, I show speed, doctor disrespect, no tag. They just wrote his name out. Ludwig. And I'm like, he's won this week. But I paid for one time to see like, basically what you get from Sully Gnome, but for YouTube is 500 a month. What?

That's actually, that's steep as fuck. For the YouTube sets, it's very steep. If you want to add kick, it's like another 300, but you get like a two for one deal, so it's 10% off. Ease it. I ended up paying like $1,500 for the info I needed for just that month. Wow. Yeah.

What the fuck? Is it that useful? For the mogul mail, yeah. Like it was, it would, I made it back. And I had more information than I would have had. But for like their business model. Their business model is targeted at like an agency who would normally have a contract with a major brand like a GeoGuessr. And so for them, yeah.

But they don't have a huge clientele. They're not being used like Solidome is. Alright, hypothetical. GeoGuessr is outlawed. From the world. It's illegal. WeoGuessr is outlawed from the world. It's illegal. We've realized that it's it. Globalization shut down. It must be closed. Borders of closed. People start calling Polish people trees

and we have to go back and delete the website. Becomes a bad word. What do you do with your life now? I feel like I've disconnected myself enough from GeoGuessr to where I could. You could just keep doing YouTube. Yeah, I could still, I still have, like my main channel on YouTube doesn't upload GGS really at all.

Okay. And then if like I'm banned from that, like I'll start a farm in Thailand and just like. He's going to the rain spots you've never seen in countries you never heard of. I'm putting rain in Thailand and places that doesn't have, they don't have rain. They don't have it.

I'm gonna create clouds. Pandora's just all rain at the end of it. Do you, do you want to do like do travel content like Anthony Bourdain? Is that like? I mean, yeah. I'm just so cringing from a camera. I hate being the guy that's pulling a camera in people's faces.

I can't do that. It's super hard for me. You should go on Jetlagged. I get ass out. I would love that. Jetlag, bro. That would be sick. But yeah, it's hard. I'm too awkward in public I don't think that matters like I think as long as you are

I mean, I guess the issue is always the filming part, but if you get someone to film for you, it'll help Yeah, especially, you know, cuz you kind of like a natural rapport with them Yeah Is there like an area of because obviously, you know, a lot of people from this, like from the GeoGuessr community and people making videos about that. But have you branched out and like made connections with this like broader spectrum of travel YouTube? Like, do you know a bunch of travel YouTubers and vloggers now?

Is that not really you're you're saying at all? I can't stick to my my lane and GeoGuessr. OK, I have a clap for you. I show speed. Dude, oh my God. Okay. I have a clap for you. Uh-huh. I show speed What yeah, we did stream together when two months ago your fake fucking fan and I fucking For sure an experience That's exactly what yeah, I told him to go Tasmania he gets his tans in the That's exactly what yeah, I told him to go Tasmania he guesses Tanzania

Yeah honest mistake Yeah, it was definitely you got a lot of clips out of it. Yeah Yeah Is there enough is there enough country because there's a bunch of countries that aren't accessible right they have like no straight view data At all mm-hmm so could you you presumably if you we magically had photos of all these places you could make a you could make A map of all the places that are Not in Geo guesser like I'm guessing something like Eritrea. Okay, you're not getting dropped into you You have all of these locations that none of the players have ever seen including yourself Who has the best raw instinct of any player to hit?

Hit the countries correctly because like no play every player is like very that. There'd be like photospheres then. Who has the best instinct of any player? Who's the man? You have to give it to the guy that won the World Cup. Give it to Blanky bro. Is that instinct? It's an easy answer but he's probably the most knowledgeable. There's players that do like more unofficial coverage.

There's a Serbian player called Alok that really likes different unique places. Oh he plays Yoshi. It's like the plane. It knows where it is by knowing where it's not. And so Blinky can rule out every country it's not. And he'd be cross. Oh, I said no sativa. It's about the notes you don't play. Actually though,

yeah, I realize I will not make the leap to getting good. You just realized that? You're realizing right now you don't have what it takes? Do you think you've peaked into your guess here? I think I'm at my peak currently right now. It's just relative to everyone else. It is so much lower. Because my people got good.

Yeah, I used to be way worse, but relatively way better than everyone else. But nowadays, it's just fucking bro. Casuals are so good. They're so good for no reason. And I think the the that doc information to shove that in my brain is just it's too much. Yeah, it's quite you have to. It's a commitment. It is. Yeah, it is a commitment.

Yeah, I like an opposite moment as Melee when I used to play Jogester a lot, because I thought I was really good at it. And when when like I saw Geo Wizard, I tried to see like YouTubers playing, I was like, oh, I'm shit at it. And I was like, I don't want to play this anymore. And Melee, I was like, this is my journey. I will go on. And that's her. Oh, I had I had a theory because you did a Red Bull shoot

where you sky dove, sky dove, sky dove, sky dove from a plane and then geoguessed on your way down. Yep. Did that idea start with the sentence that I've heard 500 times? What if we did geoguess her in real life? Probably. OK, because I feel like that is an idea I've heard so many times. I think Red Bull has also pitched out to me. They're like, yeah, we drop you out of a, because I feel like that is an idea I've heard so many times. I think Red Bull has also pitched that to me. They're like, yeah, we drop you out of a plane because I thought I thought what they just started with is they drop you out of a plane.

You don't know where you are and you have to guess before you hit the ground or you don't pull the shoe. That's right. Yeah. That would be pre-based. It's like you're wrong. You're like, ah, can't pull it. Yeah.

I was supposed to do a video. This is probably leaking, but I guess it's fine. It's a year're wrong. You're like, ah, can't pull it. Yeah, I was supposed to do a video. This is probably leaking, but I guess it's fine. It's a year ago now. Okay. But I was supposed to do a video with MrBeast. Oh, really?

I would have like guessed it like a short form like YouTube short. I'm just like guessing, like takes me somewhere blindfolded. Yeah. Almost like almost happened, but fell through unfortunately. How did it fall through? Because in order for me to like go to the place that they want me to get. You don't have enough tampons. I would have had to get like tons of vaccines and stuff.

And that would have given me info to where I was going. So we didn't think it was fair. Like if you have to get like a yellow fever vaccine or something, you're like, well. They just give you like 20 vaccines and then they bring you to like Ohio. Mr. Peace, why do you give me 20 vaccines to put me in a box? Because they wanted to see the results on this man! You could have just said you were joining the military. He thinks he's guessing where he's going.

He's actually taking 20 different drugs. This is so to be clear, it wasn't you refusing the idea of taking vaccines. No, no. He's like, what am I taking? Okay, look, to be fair, I might refuse 20. That's a lot in one moment. No, they all take care of each other. Mr. Beast should make a COVID vaccine.

Like, it should be like Moderna. Yo, it's got chocolate. And then it's Beast. You take the Beast. Mark of the Beast. For kids only. For kids only. kids gotta be a kid only kids every lunch sleeve there's a syringe in the feasibles bar and then you

pull energy the plastic has like a long section yeah no these are all workable ideas if you want to take them you can I do that to get it back primer vaccine it's either prime in there or it's a vaccine Would you be good at that like being dropped in a random spot? Because presumably he was gonna put you in a place that wasn't on Google Maps So I'm sure that like it was like it would have been like a official screen coverage I say my list of all the wait. Let me take over this idea. Yeah, we'll fly you to a random place in the world I like when Geo Wizard would do it, because he just goes somewhere in England.

He's like, fly me, where am I? His partner would drive him somewhere in the UK, and then he'd be walking around, and then he would just be looking at a map. The lady would be like, he'd be like, where am I? She'd be like, I remember this one clip. She's like, I don't know. I've ended up here just like this. Dude, how do you get every top GeoGuessr pro and you blindfold send them to a different

country and they gotta figure out where they are? I think like jet lag. We just steal jet lag. It's like a thing. We steal jet lag. I mean, basically it makes sense for sure, because ultimately, it is like you spend about probably a day of your life traveling.

You are blindfolded the whole time, and you have to be guided like a child. And then you have to guess presumably in like an hour, and then it's off to the next location. You have to do it a few times. Damn, that's a whole lot of work. I'm just realizing how much money that all is. Oh yeah. I mean, he asked me, or his team was like,

are you comfortable with helicopters? And I'm like, in boats, I'm like, oh my god. This is like, but yeah. You always say no to the helicopter. They got Kobe to not get in me. No, I haven't. I'm doing my first helicopter in like two weeks, so. Where at?

Base Camp Everest. Oh yeah, you're doing a little Everest. Base Camp Everest. That's a little Everest. That's high. It's still high. That's still low-key a little hard to get to. Wait, you're flying up to it? So you climb up and then fly down.

Oh, okay. I was like, isn't it bad if you fly straight up? Yeah, it's like cheating. No, I don't even mean like integrity wise I mean like you you don't need time to acclimate Oh, yeah, probably yeah, helicopter. Just get to the top of Everest. No no airs too thin really Yeah, so it can't fly that high air what is that one so cool that we do it Yeah, because we're not supposed to little plane can get up there right? Yeah, yeah different mechanisms make them fly up there, right? Yeah, because they're planes.

Different mechanisms make them fly. No, I think they're fair-ass questions. Don't let them bully you. But if a helicopter can, a plane can, they're both flying vehicles. A helicopter grabs the air and lifts it. So how high is the roof? But a plane goes this way.

You can get a running start. It's a running start. So a plane gets air because air goes underneath it. But how is that air not too thin? But the lift? But the top, top, top, top, top, top, top. You can still fly in a horizontal way if there's no atmosphere.

Can we be real? Someone asked, you thought Mexico was in South America, so you still talk about it. I'm right, right now I'm right. Someone's just gotta comment, correct all of us, we can get past this, it's gonna be great. I just like educating my friend who shows up. Can you paramotor?

Can you paramotor to Everest? No, no. Why? Because he's using the same mechanism of. I think, yeah, because it's not, because I'm moving as fast. Educating my friend who did you paramotor? Can you paramotor to Everest? No, why? Mechanism of I think yeah, cuz it's not As fast you don't don't answer this over the pyramids. That'd be cool This is low-key house slime says he wants to murder people is by asking them to paraglide with him over the Paramotor paramotor excuse me over the pyramids, but without him and he'll watch because I'll go after many many paramoting acts motoring accidents Yeah, like all these content creators. They bring Ludwig on their show

They make fun of him and shit and be like let's get on a paramotor bow But this one big this one get on a paramotor dude. I But this one, but this one, I'd go with you. I'd go with you and we'd be in our sarcophagus together. Do you think you'll be buried in a sarcophagus, Rainbolt? Do they have those in Thailand? The sarcophagus is what the pharaohs used to be buried in. Ah, no, I have to remember them. Racton gold and jewelry. It's weird that he doesn't think he'll be with one. Normal coffin.

We are going to be in one, so get used to it. All right. Yeah. Did you gonna be in one so get used to it. All right Yeah Did you join ours in your high school was there like a it was the coolest kid there had a big-ass 13 people Yeah, it's like exhaust. Yeah You can only budget one cool kid in a school outside That's cool. Tyler rural Arkansas. He has the truck and 13 people people, it's like, it's not even clicks. It's just like the one guy is like the theater guy. Yeah.

He's the whole department. And he's gotta do a couple things. He's the theater guy and also the nerd guy. What guy were you, Guy? Sporty guy. I mean, I was on the basketball team, but like, I was like... The whole school of basketball team. I was like sophomore through seniors.

So one from each year. There was like 11 of us. Okay. That is crazy. That's like 11 of us. Okay, that's crazy That's like half the school. It's impressive. You guys had to be shit Yeah Was your hangout spot where I grew up the hangout spot was a gas station ironically enough it was the Sonic no way Sonic does it Sonic does a lot of work for small towns. My was Dunkin Donuts I took my pants off once it kicked me out.

He always brings it back to them. Mine was a movie theater and they shut it down last year. Mangos was a movie theater and he told me where he got a hand job. That's right. I'm just sitting in the seat. You were in the seat that he got a hand job? I was in the girl's seat so it wasn't weird. I was injuring him off.

Wait, wasn't that me? I'm in a hard worker's seat. Does that make me a fucking zoological? It's a hard working woman. I respect her. Yeah, maybe we do this IRL Geo guess. That'd be interesting. Have you thought of doing it yourself? I did do it. Oh, how did that happen?

I was with a friend in Germany and he took me to Belgium. It was like a three hour drive. We blindfolded the whole drive? I was blindfolded, but like in your head you're like, okay, well this is like a two hour drive. I know. I was like, I'm going to do it. I'm going to do it. I'm going to do it.

I'm going to do it. I'm going to do it. I'm going to do it. I'm going to do it. I'm going to do it. was like a three hour drive. And you were just like, we blindfolded the whole drive. I was blindfolded. But like in your head, you're like, OK, well, this is like a two hour drive. Like you can't, you have to like really, you have to like boss there. And you're like, yeah.

And he brought me to the German speaking part of Belgium, which is like one city or like one very close. So I was like so confused. Did you get it? I ended up getting it. OK. But that's what happened when you capture someone to interrogate them.

What you have to do is... I'm talking. Why are you a guy who knows this? You have to capture them and you have to drive around a bunch to make their sense. Because when you arrive at the interrogation place to interrogate the answers out of them, you have to drive around so they don't know, like, kind of... They're mixed up to where... how far they've been driven. But it could very much be a mile down the road.

Yeah. You understand what I'm saying. They could still be at their own house. They could still be at their own damn house. Where you captured them from. Where you captured them from. Yeah. Maybe that's after you ever do a GeoGuessr.

Is there a Geoguessor coverage in Christianity? Well, are you probably Christianity? The it's like this little part of Copenhagen that identifies itself as its own sovereign country. And it's where you can like buy buy mainly weed. Yeah, I know what you're're talking about are there roads there? I don't think can you drive through it? You know, it's like walking street, right?

No, it's all walking and biking. Yeah, I don't know if there's trekkered there. Yeah, wait, there are there are roads. There's there's cars like parking for the houses. Oh, I guess that's probably how they like deliver stuff to the stores and things like that. When I see if I see a Google van going down my street, I'm flipping it over. And I'm part of a sovereign state?

Oh. I flip that fucking car. Not even. I flip it over on my Jeep. I feel like you would turn that car into Swiss cheese. Let that thing talk. Yeah, let it talk. It's a dangerous job.

But. Google driver. The van driver? The car? Just a big ass fucking Google car and you're just going to like Damascus and you're just like, okay So fun, no take it I think it would be fun to do like just you in the road and just all you have to do is drive on a road You haven't driven on before. Yeah, I thought these were good. Have you guys been seen way Mo's in LA?

Yeah at all. You can't you I guess you can say it, I can't say that. Why can't you? Why? What? I don't know. But yeah, LA has a lot. Every time I see one I give it a little face or something. I'm like, maybe. What is a Waymo?

I pulled up, it's just a self-driving car that's in LA now. Oh, okay. At least in like West LA. But it has a spinning thing on the top? Yeah, it has a spinning thing on the top and I just assumed it was like a Google Street View thing and I pulled up beside it and then a spinning thing on the top. And I just assumed it was like a Google Street View thing. And I pulled up beside it, and then there was a no guy in the car, and I just did a double take, you know?

Wow. Because I didn't realize that those were like outside of San Francisco. It'd be fun to just get in it. Like, fuck, what are you gonna do, bro? Well, people do fuck with them. They just put like a cone in front of it, and then it's done.

They soft-lock it? Yeah. It's like tipping over a cow. It's like, he's done for the rest of the week? It's like tipping over a cow. It's like he's done for the rest of the week. It's like walking a horse upstairs. What do you think is... He knows what I'm talking about.

When you gave that Anthony Bourdain quote about living in Asia, what is something day to day that's really changed for you? It seems deeper than just like I get this is this is nice It's like yeah a different perspective on life. What do you think that is? You know the biggest thing is is I've become so anti-car over the past like Like yeah years that just getting on the train and it's like being able to walk everywhere So nice is the best thing we fucked this country up so goddamn bad It's so nice. It's the best thing. We fucked this country up so goddamn bad, bro.

This country's fucking beautiful, bro. Pizza and shit, we're fucking awesome. I drive a K truck on the wrong side of the fucking road, no license plate. That's one of the greatest fucking things ever. I don't know why you're on the wrong side of the road. I drive a Vespa and I get hit by a damn car, I fucking love every second of it. I get up, I shake the hand of the guy who hit me. Thank you.

I think it comes down to this country, it's just not like, it would never be feasible to not have a car. It's too big. We have one of the guy who hit me. Thank you. I think it comes down to this country is just not like it would never be feasible to not have a car. It's way we have one of the largest countries on earth. It's not about being large. It's about living in a city that like we have just designed the whole place. We built one walkable city and then never again. It's just bad. It's bad planning. Boston's walkable shit.

Chicago, Chicago, New York, San Francisco. There's a lot. L.A. New York. San Francisco. There's a lot. LA's not one of them. I guess I'm talking about the subway infrastructure. For like New York. Like that is like a giant place with 8 billion people. That is good to go. And then other places are like shadows of that. I don't know man.

Is the public transport really good in Thailand? I don't know how. Yeah, it's awesome. They have a sky train that goes like through an entire. They have a sky train. Yeah, it's called the BTS. See how fucking far behind we are. Is Thailand rich?

What's Thailand looking like these days? Yeah, I mean, it's yeah, it has a lot of money. Like gambling is there kissing. I don't know. I actually don't know. Is it religious? Yeah, Buddhism. Buddhism.

OK, it's not very because like Malaysia is incredibly like Muslim, right? Mm-hmm Is what's like the big illegal thing there that you can do that you can do here? Isn't there like what are the laws where you can kill a cow, right? No RPG at a cow drug laws in Thailand the drug laws. Yeah, they just legalized weed Okay, sounds lit. Wait, it's incredibly progressive for the region, no? Because like Indonesia and Malaysia are like... Yeah, I mean, yeah, they have tons of like, pride rights too, so like LGBTQ.

In Thailand? Yeah. This is like totally opposite of their neighbor, no? Oh, like Malaysia and Indonesia? Yeah. Yeah, I just know that Thailand's like super... Okay. Because I'm pretty sure those are incredibly Islamic countries and I know drinking is not, I think, something that is like chill.

Alright, I have a question. You have an RPG, you know, like from video games? Yeah, right. You can shoot it at the bare ground, you can shoot it at a chicken, or you can shoot it at a cow. What do you shoot it at? You have to. You have to. Your whole family is going to go away from you. If you shoot it at the ground it could cause an earthquake that kills thousands. That's not true. Or you do a cool jump.

It's just the ground. What's like the life of the cow? It's like an... It's not a baby cow. Has it lived a good life? No cow I think has lived a good life. That's a lot. That's just no.

The Japanese ones and Mark Zuckerberg's. It's grass fed but the plan was to kill it. Mark Zuckerberg's cows are doing so good right now. I'll shoot the ground. You shoot the ground? I'll take the earthquake. Wow. In Cambodia if you got 20 bands lying around. It's not even that much. Are you kidding me? How much is it? Maybe 20 bands in Cambodia. It's not a lot. It's like a couple hundred dollars. You got a couple hundred bucks. There's no way it's a couple hundred dollars. In my opinion- Shooting an RPG has to cost more than that.

They have a lot. Is that Harx Hugga eating his own cow with a big fucking cheesy crit on his face? He looks like he has a face hugger on his penis under the table. Why does he look like that? Dude. What a big ass piece of meat. I think he took him down Brazilian jujitsu style. He broke his neck. That's why he's been getting buffed to physically disable his capos.

He says if you win this fight you get to walk. Yeah in Cambodia you can shoot a cow with an RPG. It's like a real that's touristy thing. I suppose Car you know is driving by Cambodia plan that You're just going around and there's like a hard The street a little more in the frame of the couch. You go down and forth, it's just a cow alive and not alive. Oh my god, dude. That's awesome.

That is awesome, yeah. I've been trying to get on Google Maps. I've been making little faces at the car as I go by them. And I write down on my phone where I was. That's cool. Oh, you're into it. You want to be famous, right? Whenever I see one, I'm like, ah.

You usually have nothing planned for when it actually arrives. No, of course not. I don't have a sign or anything. My first day in Germany, walk out getting donor with a German friend who's like, kebab. And we walk out, and the Google car is right there and it's like recording. Oh shit. My first day out of the U S. How do you know it's recording?

Um, well we didn't at the time. Okay. Okay. But the empty game published and this was at the point when Germany was just blur mini where is this gen two coverage. So they hadn't ever, they would drive the cars, but they wouldn't publish it. They were just using it for data. Oh, okay. And so like two years went by and they finally published like my face oh you were oh you were actually in there we chased the car oh running it like you just keep clicking because i know you tweeted that a while ago but they didn't have it on google maps so recently

yeah they just uploaded it like last year. Wait, that's sick. And so yeah, and it's actually in the biggest, that location was put in the biggest Gesser map. So you can actually give me in Gesser if you play that. That's cute. OK, give me your top three best and worst places you've been to. Top three best?

As a well-traveled man, yes. OK, just like overall best. OK, Thailand, Laos. OK, back to back, Thailand and Laos. Yes. Okay. Just like overall best Thailand, Laos. Okay. Back to back Thailand and Laos. Yeah. You're just straight up living in the spot you think is one of the best places to go. And then also like, like, like a two hour drive, right? Like Laos is so close. No. Yeah. It's like, it's like a 10 hour drive from the bus. Okay. Okay. 10. I would find them. When you're looking in Giorgestre, they're like so close to each other. Yeah. You just have to go through Cambodia, right? No.

He thinks he's so nice. No, you can take a flight and but it's directly bordering Thailand. OK. Border. So you could go. It's like an hour long flight from Bangkok to Vientiane. Yeah. So Laos and Thailand probably top two. I know Arkansas is sneaking in there. Hour long flight, 10 hour drive? The mountain range?

That is it. I mean, think about Vegas. Vegas is like an hour flight and a three and a half hour drive. We got big at all interstate. 10 hour bus. There's just no highway. Maybe the bus is slower. Yeah, I don't know.

Maybe this is America moment. This is an is slower. Yeah, I don't know. Maybe it's a mix in. This is an American moment. The scale is so much different. Yeah. It's also a very American thought process that we have that the rest of the world doesn't share. We look at distance on time to cover it as opposed to like actual distance in miles or

kilometers. And I think it's because we just are so used to car time. Very little obstacles. Third best. Third best. I'll leave Asia. Let's see. I really liked London, actually. London?

Really? You like London? That's my hot take. That's my hot take. That is a hot take. I like it too, but most of it sucks. I like ramen, I like sushi, and then I like just fucking beans I guess. I like eating poop. Yeah, poop like little shitty poop beans.

London's not poop. Come on. I like eating poop and like poop from a person. London's not poop, dude. Future is always poop in this context. Look, I didn't mind our time in London, but I'm surprised in the top three but well it's kind of like yeah, it was like engagement bait but like Maybe like realistically like Madeira the Portuguese island. Okay. Thank you for The Portuguese island. Okay, thank you for it.

I was about to be like, She's a good guy, she's a good girl. But I don't know, you guys haven't been there. What do you like about Madeira? I just like nature. It just has a bunch of mountains. Yet you haven't seen the Gibbons, curious. Does he love nature or does he just love freaking marine?

What makes you such a chronic chiller? The good ass question. Indica. Like, okay, let me give you for me. You know, I'm a city boy. I've been- I was raised here my whole life. When I go on vacation, I like nature too, but at some point I want to see a city. Like I'm always like interested in seeing big cities.

Yeah, I mean I live in Bangkok, so it's like a super metropolitan, you know. But like, yeah, just chill. I don't know. You seem very, you seem very, uh, it almost, you, you, you almost act as if you had a very busy hectic life and now you're trying to relax, but it sounds like- I feel like that's probably accurate. Really? Yeah. I dropped out of school when I was 18, moved to San Francisco for a year. Oh shit.

Worth nine to five, like super like office stuff for like six years. Were you miserable? I mean, like super like office stuff for like six years. Were you miserable? I mean like, no. Okay. But like, I loved it. But like it was like, there has its ups and downs. Like I was definitely like in that mode in my life where it's like hustle like nine to five like Gary V status.

You know, like full like if I'm not up at 4am meditating, I'm like a loser. You were doing that shit? Like for like two years, yeah. Wow. I was super like- You're a grinder. It's like in your kind of bones So when you find you guesser, yeah, but now I'm just like chill. Are you happier person now? 20% hey, I live a very fulfilled life in Thailand. Yeah But like I just try not to worry about things too much. Yeah, I asked him before this I'm like, do you have friends in Thailand? He's like no

I'm like, that's crazy. Really you not get lonely's like, no. I'm like, that's crazy. Really? Do you not get lonely? No, it's going to sound cringe again, but I have my Discord friends. No, no, no, that's normal. I think it's standard. Yeah, I talk to all my friends all day in Discord.

We play games together. And I go to night markets and talk to people. And I have my same vendors I shopped from that I became friends with. That's sick. So I live a fulfilled life there. Do you bump into a lot of other foreigners living there? It depends on what neighborhood you go into.

Most Bangkok has like a lot of Western, like European. Not really too many Americans, but yeah, you'll see them. Are you like, how's your Thai progression going? It's pretty good. I'll say like, I take classes three days a week. OK, shit. For like an hour every morning, or those mornings. OK, can we run a simulation?

I am just a mere idiot foreigner. You are a Thai restaurant owner who has had it up to here with me. You only are going to speak to me in Thai, and I want you to be angry and want me to leave. Wow. Well, that's no Thai would ever get angry at you. That's why it's hypothetical. Because I'm that annoying, you've had up to here.

You're that annoying. Okay, so, and here we go. But I don't think a Thai person would ever. Okay, you know what, here. Okay, you're feeling the anger inside, but you say what you think you would say in a situation. Yeah. If I'm the owner? Yes. All right, you ready? the anger inside, but you say what you think you would say in a situation. Yeah, if I'm the owner. Yes.

Yes. Alright, you ready? Alright. Um, Garcon. Is that your wife? Yeah, he's my wife. Yeah. Okay.

Um, Garcon, me and my- Everything is so spicy! My wife doesn't like the spice very much. Is there anything we can do to get, like, a less spicy- Too spicy! Can you, like, remake it? Uh, my been lie, my been lie. Bad name cop.

Okay. We don't know what that means. What was your plan? I'm sorry. I'm the translator. He said you guys look very beautiful tonight. Oh my God. Thank you.

Specifically you. Oh my God. You look hot. Now I know my wife is beautiful and I too often get distracted myself but I was just wondering is there something kind of discount that you can offer? Are those breasts natural? Is what he said? They're not. They're not. Can you offer my wife a discount?

Okay. Oh my god I know English great. Is that really how it goes? Like Thai people, that's the thing about Thailand, I just love it. Yeah. Like generally it's... Wait, so what did you say? I said, no worries, one moment please. So nice.

Uh, okay, worst place you ever went. Negativity. I wanna hear negativity. We need top three worst. Top three worst, London. The list is actually not that long. I hate to see her go. I love to watch her leave. Top three worsts?

I don't want to put like, I don't want to do top three worsts. Yeah, it's cruel, bro. Because when he says that, it's like... The city council could find out. That's what I'm saying. The city council of Berlin. I don't want Opsin, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Fucking nuke it. Italy was awesome. What the fuck? You love Italy. You want them to nuke Italy. I had a really good time in Italy. It's like a really close ally in the US. I think France should nuke Italy. Who are you talking to in Italy? It's like a really close ally of the US.

I think France should nuke Italy. Why would France do that? Because they beat the world war 2 and won. It's so incredibly close. It's different now. They invented fascism. You think that's okay? No I don't, but I don't think it's relevant to how we should judge it today. Oh, fascism isn't relevant today.

No it doesn't. That makes sense. Mag, it don't. No, that makes sense. Okay. Maga male strikes again. Stop maga male to say that. I've visited a lot of places in the US I have not liked though. That's what I was thinking, I was trying to think of places I don't like, most of them are US based. But I think it's because I've been, actually Toronto.

Don't care for it. You don't fuck with Toronto. I don't care for the six. I personally don't care for the six. Toronto's nice man. I don't care for it. You don't fuck with Toronto.

Just anime, really. It really is. Okay, so you know these guys, right? They look like fucking shit. Well, not personally. On the very right, the middle one on the very right, down...

Yeah, that one. Look at him. That's why that one's specific. Why that one? They all look the same. Because I think I have no I've seen this picture before. Okay, that might be Spanky. Spanky is very famous.

He does on Google Maps. You do on Google images. I'd be so good at giving a guess. I know most of them at the conservation. There's a conservation like two hours north of here I know most of them. This would be one of those things where he thinks he's the goat and then a real fucking given head comes out I didn't realize people cried. You're just the best in your friend group. I go like 2-2 at the given local But I'm not like winning. Dude you don't even go to the given local

You read about the given locals sometimes. I don't want to want to hear some shit. You're just a given spectator. I know Elwood. I know pepper I'm fucking friends anymore. They actually are in a cage. That's two cages away from each other No, they're from the United States no No, I mean like Gibbon the Monkey. I think so. I think like indigenous. I think that's their main spot. If only we had a real Gibbon head. Southeast Asia is where they're like from from.

Yeah, real Gibbon heads are another that. Who's your favorite YouTuber? Mine? Yeah. Like underrated. Like I, well, I don't really... The YouTube channel I watch the most is this channel called Now in Laos. It's like this vlogger in Laos.

Oh, you're about this shit. Is he about it? He's Australian. Okay, yeah. Laotian. Laotian. Laotian adjective. No, I was actually like, sorry.

It's like a really fancy name. I'm ready to find out about the ocean. But it's mostly travel content you're consuming? Yeah, I would say so. Here's the YouTuber deep secret is content you're consuming? Yeah, I would say so. Here's the YouTuber deep secret is what you're consuming now is what you'll be making in two years. Yo. Whoa. It's so fun to think about.

Travel content? That's a good take. Because I think you just, you slowly start to think what you do is like. Huh? I was listening to podcasts. You're making podcasts too. I am. I stopped.

That's crazy. Do you know about Namibia? Namibia? Doia like they're gonna type it like the desert coast? Yeah. Yeah, you want to go there? I would love to yeah, what are you guys talking about? What's that? What's special out in Namibia's desert coast? I'm trying to go because it's these incredible beautiful sand dunes that are massive But then they end and like crash into the ocean so like the desert ends into that just go to Blake, California Yeah, I've been trying to go nobody wants to go into the ocean. So like the desert ends into the ocean. Just go to Blight, California to like the ponds there. Yeah. I've been trying to go.

Nobody wants to go. Oh, do you want to go to Bibbia with you? You want to go to Bibbia with me? You also want to go to Damascus, what I want to do. They got that bridge there, right? We have been talking about going to Damascus, but the timing on the trip. We were originally planning this trip.

Me and Slime were trying to make a trip through parts of the Middle East that we were gonna end in Damascus. And we were like, I was looking into like how you get visas to go there and like what it was actually like. And then the loose dates for the trip were like March to April of 20,

I wanna say 2020 or 2021. I forget which year, but like COVID wasn't over yet and traveling wasn't chill yet. And then it is just like become this thing that I, it's a little more crazy now. What's going on right now? Give me up to speed. Go for Ludwig. Is it crazier now? No, I, I, uh,

I have the same issue cause me and Michael want to do the Japan trip on motorcycle To be Damascus in Japan not the same. Yeah, I feel like they're going there. I'm getting there I'm getting there different strife. Our follow-up trip is the Silk Road Which famously starts or ends depending which way you're going in Damascus and ends in or starts in China Like like Shanghai, which is it's a very long road and very treacherous and you need a lot of fixers but... Fixers, what is that? Like someone from the area to navigate you through safely.

Yeah, who has like a big like AK-47 on their back? Usually not weaponized. Like a big machete maybe? That would be more like a bodyguard. I do enjoy those videos. There's a few good YouTube videos of people biking that trip. Like basically making their way across all of it.

Yeah, they bike the whole thing. That's months. Yeah, yeah. It's like a, usually the video takes them like, oh, a year to make and they travel across, they bike across all of China through like central Asia back across Europe. I think the first guy I watched he was like British and then I watched another guy who was Dutch and they go they bike all the way home from like the coast.

Going across China is hard enough as is but if we're gonna do it, we have to do it soon because like they're gonna shut off American Passports. Imagine going back like a thousand years and being like hey this huge long trek journey we're doing what if this was like our job and the people paid us to like just go really, really far? Yeah, you just have to carry shit. Back then you had to have your wares. No, I mean, but only doing the stuff you like doing. Huh?

Like, they're just traveling and they tell people, hey, I traveled and they're like, okay, here's money. But YouTube is. I think- Oh, I see what you're saying. You know what I mean? Yeah. Like, what a crazy idea I think that might have existed, but it would just be like a bard Stories yeah, and a fucking like a fiddle here Like that tweet that's like all right like zombie apocalypse happened. We have a lot of bards D. Can you like weld? What's it what's a piece of content that you've made that you think you're the most proud of have you ever gotten such a from a girl

No, that's a fire one. Wait, it's it's so it's a tick tock It opens up and it's a girl speaking and she goes have you ever gotten a snapchat from a girl? And then he instantly goes no and then it and then it's winter of all day and it goes Actually summer yeah No. And then it's winter Vivaldi and he goes, actually summer. Yeah. Is it winter? Yeah. And then it's winter Vivaldi. And then, and then he's like, and he's like, I forget the exact country. He has one. It's one. Listen to. Yeah. I think that's what people most like. That was like my big break.

Yeah. Okay. That was the one I saw. Yeah. I like the, um, I like the gatekeeping, like, fighting. I like that stuff. Yeah, those are good. When it's like the guy's like, you don't know about this bagel spot, and you're like, this is the bagel spot. Oh, yeah, yeah.

The bagel. You blew that guy off the fucking earth, dude. And then people started clearly baiting you into doing it. Yeah, it's... Yeah. Do you guys not like that? Do you stop doing it because of that? Well, it's Which is kind of not like that. You stopped doing it because of that? Well, it's like, I was never like very like anti-gatekeeping.

I'm gonna be the hero for everyone. But I mean, people just like, yeah, they're just like hand feeding me like the easiest things. I'm like, I'm not gonna like. It's a self-feeding economy. You act like it's real. They act like they're being serious. You do it forever.

You buy Thailand one day. Yeah, the photo thing, like when people, which started with like the Japan one, is that, like, do you get way too many now? I get a lot. I still do those if I, like, I have a whole album on my phone, just a screenshot and just do them.

Yeah. I don't even post them really. That's interesting. But they're just fun. Public service. It's just like a- you just do it for the person What is that ever offline? What's the average length of time that you have to uh, some are five minutes some are five hours some are I never finish the five minute ones aren't you like motherfucker? You could have found this, you know what?

Yeah, but like it's so fun. I have a puzzle. I have geoguess your DNA in my bones You know the image, you know, I had to do it to him. Yeah Yeah, yeah. I found it. I was actually, I got my job at Beyond the Summit. I worked there for like two weeks. I spent one day in the office for four hours. Just on Google Maps looking for this fucking spot in Tampa, Florida. Just going through the streets. And when I found it, I cannot tell you how accomplished I felt.

It's a good feeling. It's a good, right? Yeah, it's like, yeah, we're the same. Yeah. Oh, now imagine you got DMed infinite puzzles, infinite. You know, I had to do it to him. Yeah, but the problem, the thing is, I love that image and I don't love the people in these photographs. I can't. And you hate people who DM you to. That's right. So you just find it, and then you message them, found it.

But that's for me to know and for you to find out. You have to pay $20 to unlock the location. And then you add an avatar, and all of a sudden, you're Geocaster. OK, Trevor Rainbolt, any shout-outs, anything you would like to say that you haven't?
