From the Zedium podcast network, it's Fletchforn and Haley's Little Bit of Pod. Welcome to a little bit of pod. Now, I've got children so I know. Oh, he's got children. So maybe I've been exposed to Mr. Beast a little bit more than the average human male at the age of 43. But you guys don't, and you know who Mr. Beast is. I've been beasted. Maybe we work in radio and media.

and so Mr. Beast is doing these like legendary things that we'd only dream on because the radio station doesn't have the budget. I just bloody love him. I just watch the video. He's fascinating, right? I mean, you can't escape him. No, inescapable.

Still the most subscribed to YouTube. Does these phenomenal things. I like him. And he's very entrepreneurial. And what's the other word? Philanthropy. Philanthropy does lots of good. 400 and 21 million subscribers on YouTube does make him the most.

subscribed individual creator on the platform. Record-breaking views in the month of April this year to have 4.2 billion views. Oh, wow. Yeah, so, I mean, you cannot escape this man. He's got his chocolate, which we can all agree. It's not very nice. Oh, no.

Yeah. What your gag is is, you're talking to it. It's too oily. My mouth started filling up with saliva. I love that. He's like, it's only five ingredients. Try a few more. Honestly, do you know what I mean?

I reckon one of them is knocked back to four and get rid of that oil. Just talk to Whitakers and do a co-lab there, man. And just get on board of the winning product. But the Beast Burgers is coming to New Zealand. Yes. And I was like, oh, that's quite exciting. It said, what do they call it, a dark kitchen first? Ghost kitchen.

A ghost kitchen. Yes, that's right. I imagine it's dark in there and scary, though. It feels good. There's also a very funny episode about ghost kitchens on the new season of always sunny in Philadelphia. Oh, really? Where they'll start microdosing chili peppers. I love that show, but last season felt like it was maturing.

Yeah, and I think they heard that. This season, it's as chaotic as ever. It's back to like season four, season five, always sunny, which is champagne season. Amazing. Always sunny. So a ghost kitchen situation is happening in New Zealand. And I was like, oh, my, there's a launch thing. I was like, oh, my kids would love that.

I'll see if they want to go. And I was talking to my friend about this Mr. Beast burger. Yeah. And she's like, who? I said, Mr. Beast. And she's like, who is a Mr. Beast? Who is a Mr. Beast? You know, when you're trying to explain?

Yeah. 32! Oh, I thought you were talking to the friend that's like, 50 or 60 or something. When I was doing my volunteer work at the retirement home. Yeah. Oh, and you just talk to them about anything because they just love to hear a story. They do.

Yeah. No, no. Not that situation at all. 32. I was like, Mr. Beast. No idea. No idea. How did you miss it?

Does she use YouTube? Yeah. Because I use YouTube and that's, I think, how I discovered him. He just comes across your bloody recommended things. You're like, what the hell is this? I just hear about him in the news because everything he does is like groundbreaking. He's on all the platforms as well. He's not just on YouTube.

Is she a dumbass? Just a cheque? She might have her blinks on. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He might have the horse racing blinkers on. But even he came to New Zealand. It was in the news. Yeah, it was big news.

You never heard. I was like, you will have seen his face. Pull up. She's like, I've never seen that man's face before in my life. I was like, are you fucking serious? I was like, okay, so these are some of his big things. He buried himself alive for 50 hours. What do you do that for?

Well, we don't know. But we're on board. Well, because no one else had done it. What did he do that for? He did that for? Didn't he make some blind kids see or something? Yes. Didn't he donate a whole?

Yeah, he did. It builds villages and stuff. That's right. But then people were like, oh, he didn't need to. Remember everyone had to find a negative on it? He literally gave kids their vision back. And people were like, oh, he's exploiting them for content. It's like, he gave them their fucking vision back.

I think if I had no vision and they're like, can you be in a YouTube video? Where some dude's going to give you a vision back, I'll be like, you know what? I'm on board. I'll consider it. I will say, though, smart from him because, you know, he did get 4.2 billion views last in April. That's phenomenal. Well, I think he deserves every single one of them. I think I was, and so then I went on a, on a Mr. Beast, sort of like, these are the 20 best Mr. Beast videos.

Did you show her them, like fully? I showed, like, the, I talked through the concept of all in that, like the Squid Game one. And she's never seen them. Oh, my God. No. This is an education. It would be so nice just to not know any of what's happening. Sometimes just to live in this bubble in the middle of nowhere, it might just be nice, you know?

Just bloody having a wine and having a wank, you know? In the bush. That's the best Mr. Beast video. Having a wine and a whine for 48 hours on stop, whining a wank with Mr. Bees. I think you, I don't think you could live an isolated lifestyle in the middle of nowhere with no... I would go crazy. You'd go crazy. You need people, you need attention.

I need pop culture, I need it all. Yeah, I know. Yeah, no, I could have done that. I could last a few days. He did team trees where they planted trees, Team C's where they like teamed up with Mark Roba, who's another, I can't wait to introduce you to Mark Rober. He's the guy the engineer that did that squirrel obstacle course

for the squirrel to get to the answer, which is still his best video. He's not as well known. He's not as well known, but his videos are phenomenal. Team C's, team water. He gave like a whole town that was struggling, like Thanksgiving meals. he's a good boy he doesn't keep all of his wealth he lives in this like really simple three bedroom home yeah yeah very very he did take an unauthorized tour of may in ruins in 2025 oh okay yeah but you know he didn't take his kid off on a balinese statue though did they you know what I mean no he drew the line
