Jack Tenney and Randall Carlson critique modern media saturation, environmental mismanagement in Florida, and pharmaceutical motives behind pandemic policies. They explore theories of ancient civilizations near the Azores, the Fibonacci sequence as divine proof, and urgent lunar colonization to avoid extinction. The discussion covers near-death experiences, dangerous surf spots in Mexico, and an NFT project funding a shark tooth sanctuary to preserve fossils against development, ultimately questioning societal control mechanisms and future survival strategies.

Why People Talk Shit00:12:42
Thank you.
Cheers dude.
I was looking back on our our episode list of podcasts and the last one we did is is technically now the first podcast It's technically podcast number one is it because I deleted I deleted like 35 episodes that we did with Ben By default you're number one.
So now by default you're number one sick.
How long ago was that?
That had to have been like that was like three it was like two and a half years ago Sheesh two and a half years ago in the other room.
So what have you been up to bro?
What's been going on?
Oh, just filming.
Trying to film, stay on top of social media, watching it change and get super saturated.
Dog shit now.
It's dog shit.
Yeah.
You're not a TikToker yet?
I can't do it.
I just won't do it.
No.
No, it's tough.
It's like take everything excellent you've ever made and just shove it down people's throats in the most consumable, quick way possible.
It seems like it's like taking the art away from everything almost.
Yeah.
Even when I see something that's incredibly well shot.
It's like I'm having a seizure because it's like, like they have so much going on.
TikTok has to captivate attention spans of like, you get lost in there for sure.
I was watching the video earlier today, the one that we did at that Little Pump concert where we dressed you up like Little Pump.
Yeah, I love that video.
That was such a sick video.
We did really good.
That was sick.
The version of it that I posted on concrete, the top comment is, guys, or it was like, do you, All caps.
Do you guys know this is Tfue's biological brother?
Do we know?
The internet is so weird now.
Yeah, dude.
Like, I got a bunch of comments on America's Got Talent.
Like, that's Tfue's brother.
I'm like, oh my gosh.
I don't know.
That'll haunt you forever.
I'm the trampoline guy.
I'm Tfue's brother.
You know, it's weird.
Like, that's one of the craziest things about meeting people.
I like asking them what video they saw or what they like that I've done.
If somebody comes up and says they like our stuff.
Just the wide range of that i've heard is crazy really.
It's like i'm proud of a lot of stuff.
And then somebody will be like yeah, that time that you lit your friend on fire and then hit him in the face with a water balloon, i'm like holy, like that's what you remember.
You know, it's just, it's funny.
The backyard at your dad's house is just kind of like a, a cesspool of just wild crazy.
Yeah, always.
Yep, I don't think that'll ever stop.
Hopefully we'll keep doing stuff there forever.
It had to have been so crazy too.
Because there was that one point three years ago when you had the whole trampoline video series just going off, and that was the most popular thing on the internet.
And then out of nowhere, your brother's social media just started creeping up and creeping up and just skyrocketing out of nowhere.
Insane.
Yeah, that trampoline versus was cool because the one thing that I'll always take out of that is that we got number one most subscribed channel.
For the day, two days in a row.
Really?
Yeah, above Pooty Pie, above every creator on the platform for two days.
That was kind of like, that wasn't even that long ago, and it was just like, it seems like it was.
And now people are ripping it off.
Are they?
There's another channel that does the exact same thing that I did like three or four years ago on his channel, and he's getting more views than I did when I did it.
Fuck.
And it's just dedicated to the trampoline shit.
I mean, he didn't credit me in anything, so kind of just took the idea and made it his own.
There's a couple channels that actually their channel was made off of the Trampoline Versus series.
Really?
Yeah, that's pretty crazy.
Limitation is the highest form of flattery, right?
Yeah.
What I was going to say was that time when we were doing that, it seems like YouTube was a completely different place, like a completely different website back then, you know?
It was, and it is.
Yeah, it's insane.
Especially now, all it is, I feel like it's just people, it's just like all it can be is a certain type of just bullshit content, and so much of it is curated and censored.
Yeah, I used to use YouTube almost every day from 2006 until like you know currently, you know, I would before I uploaded anything on YouTube I was watching stuff on YouTube a lot, you know, and Yeah, it was like You could just type in whatever you want and like it would always feed you something cool.
It seemed like you guys use Ebombs World when you're hell.
Oh, yeah, I was all I was addicted to that like 13 or like 12.
I don't even know how young prank call voices everything.
Oh, yeah, all the soundboards.
Oh man, that was a wild time and I That was a good site.
Is it still around?
Yeah, oh yeah.
Is it?
Yeah, I still check up on it.
You bombs?
Oh yeah.
I haven't searched that site in probably 15 years.
Really?
I still check up on it every now and then.
Oh, fuck.
Remember Worldstar Hip Hop?
Worldstar was just always dog shit, though.
I remember when, though, that was like a thing that you wanted.
You would want your video to get picked up by Worldstar.
I mean, you still do.
People, a lot of people still use it.
It's just, I don't know.
They just, I can't follow pages that post more than five things a day.
Or else it's just like, it just seems ridiculous.
I don't even know how anything works anymore.
I miss when YouTube, Instagram, and Twitter all used to be chronological.
Oh, yeah.
It's not like that anymore.
No, it's not.
I heard Instagram went back to it.
No, I'll still be scrolling through and I'll get a post from four days ago next to a post that was a couple hours ago.
How often are you posting?
I try a couple times a week, no matter what.
I've been trying to post on Instagram every day.
Everybody's making money on short form content right now.
Yeah.
Budgets for their reels are getting paid.
I don't, I just, it's so hard.
I mean, I try to do it because I see everyone else doing it.
And I acknowledge that, like, if you're not, if you get on your feed on Instagram, you're going to see 15 videos and maybe like two pictures, you know?
It's all reels.
It's just pushing reels to everyone right now.
So when I see that, I'm like, all right, I'll post some reels.
But the real bummer is my hard drive with like 36 terabytes of footage that has like a good couple of years of really good content on it just stopped working.
So right when I was about to just crank out a bunch of reels, that happened.
And the problem with reels is you have to, anything that's filmed like high quality that's not, you know, that's horizontal, you know, and not vertical is going to look like dog shit on a reel.
Like everything that I've filmed for the last 13 years, I have to crop in.
That's a super like fish eye.
Yeah, it just looks terrible.
So you either have to create new content for reels or you have to make your old content look kind of shitty.
And it's just like, I'm just hoping that this is just a phase and that people get really bored of short form content very quickly.
I've been trying to upload on YouTube a bunch and it's been going well.
Yeah, it's like everybody's scrambling just to adapt to whatever the new hot thing is.
If it's Instagram reels or if it's TikToks or you got to be on TikTok.
Oh, you got to do YouTube shorts.
Everyone's always telling me wherever I go what I have to be doing.
It's crazy that people that have no talent are becoming super famous, too.
Super famous.
I think that that's a problem.
Really?
Yeah, like, I mean, not no talent.
You know, there's some talent.
Like, look at the D'Amelios.
Like, honestly.
Who is that?
The two TikTok sisters.
You don't know who the D'Amelios are?
Charlie and Dixie D'Amelio?
They have like 700 million followers on everything.
Really?
They're massive.
What do they do?
They dance.
They definitely dance.
Oh, I know who they are.
They got offered their own reality show, too, right?
Oh, yeah.
Followers, 130 million.
Jesus.
It's insane.
I hosted a panel for them at Playlist Live.
I was the moderator of a panel before they really blew up.
I don't know.
It's just like, I.
I see the most famous people on platforms like TikTok, and I'm like, this is not my place.
Like, I do not belong here.
I make better content than this.
If these are the top people on the platform, I don't want to be here.
What about the Island Boys?
What about them?
They got fucking so absurdly famous.
I don't know that they did, though.
I feel like a lot of people were really just making fun of them.
Yeah.
Like, if they show up in public, they get booed everywhere they go.
Yeah, that's true.
Like, what?
Yeah, did you see them show up for that?
I'm not envious of people like that at all.
But they could slowly turn the tanker, couldn't they?
Over a long period of time, they could slowly turn the ship to where people are kind of laughing with them in a couple years versus laughing at them.
They're just so unlikable.
They are.
You watch them on podcasts.
And they're so dumb, too.
They get so offended.
Yeah, they just don't have the depth or the, I don't know, just the life experience to have an understanding of just.
Any grasp on anything, I don't know.
They just got you see them on the Jake Paul podcast, yeah, or the Logan Paul podcast.
Did he try to fight one of the guys?
He just got, they just got you know, I'm thugging, right?
Yeah, I just can't get on board with people like that.
I just don't, you know, I don't hang out with people like that.
I can't endorse people like that.
You know, I wish everyone the best.
I think that that's very important part of life, especially the people that like treat you the worst.
You know, wish everyone well, but like I don't have to condone that or endorse that, no.
Yeah, they made Florida look better.
Do you ever like, and they're from Florida too?
Do you ever like stress out about like what kind of content you want to make or like what types of videos you want to make next?
Or do you just kind of just do whatever you want and just like film it?
And if it turns out good, you just decide to post it.
It's like yes and no.
You know, I always want to make really good content, but I don't stress it because I feel like we've made so much content over the years.
And like we've consistently, in my opinion, uploaded really good content over the course of like eight years, you know?
Even if we take a long break from doing something, like, you know, when, like, the most comments that I got about the Jig Squad channel being dead was, like, no, when?
It was, like, right before we did Holly Boob.
And, like, there were all these people, like, oh, you guys are washed up, you know, like, blah, blah, blah, this and that.
And, like, people are going to say everything, you know, and it's hard to not focus on the bad comments.
But once you, like, take a break from uploading, like, there's going to be people that are going to talk a lot of shit.
And then we, like, do the Holly Boob stunt and prank and pull it off.
And it's, like, on every news station and, like, getting millions of views across all these different platforms.
And it's just, like, For people that aren't familiar with the Holly boob, give us a quick rundown on what that was about.
Pull it up, Austin.
We gave the Hollywood sign a boob job.
Hell yeah.
That's what I'll say.
Everyone in LA's got a boob job.
We figured we'd just help the town out a little bit and turn it into Holly boob.
They just changed it recently for yeah, Ram's house.
It looks like shit.
I was going to say, I saw that and I thought of you.
I was like, Jack did this way better.
Yeah, yeah.
We did it better in like 20 minutes.
That was bad.
What happened?
They did well.
They changed it to Legends.
Go, Ram's house.
It says Ram's house, a Ram's house, yeah, but it was like barely even legible.
Yeah, this is the raw footage.
And you got a did you get arrested during this?
Yeah, I still have community service because of this, actually.
Wow.
That's my buddy Ricky.
He was actually, he wasn't even supposed to help with the Holly Boob prank.
He was just coming out there to do a Bigfoot stunt with me.
Uh-huh.
Oh, this is the Super Bowl?
Oh, shit.
Straight to the Super Bowl.
A random Super Bowl clip?
I have no idea.
What?
It's a mashup.
This is probably somebody else's page that ripped your shit.
Oh, no.
This is your page.
Is it?
Oh, yeah.
You just decided to throw in some I don't remember.
Maybe it was just oh, that was just the intro.
Ninja vs Turner Drama00:14:35
I was just talking about what was going on in the future, probably.
This is, yeah, this is like the raw footage of the Holly Boob sign.
Yeah, I went to jail for this.
What did they charge you with?
Just trespassing.
Just trespassing.
No vandalism?
Huh?
No vandalism?
No, no, because we didn't actually do anything to the sign.
It was just placed there.
We didn't, like, paint on it or anything.
True.
Yeah, we got that thing up there in a baby stroller.
Like I had to push a baby stroller up a mountain with that giant tarp the size of a body that weighed like 100 pounds.
And that was the only way because we actually tried this twice.
This was the third attempt.
We tried it twice in the middle of the night and like almost got caught.
We were trying to sneak up the mountain and they were shining lights at us and they like brought in a helicopter.
We all like scattered like cockroaches.
So you had to do it during the day.
Yeah, so we're like, all right, we had to rethink it.
We're like, all right, we'll do it during the day.
Broad daylight.
We're going to start from the top instead of the bottom and just rush it and try to do it quickly.
Wow.
Yeah, but on that topic, I don't worry about making content because I feel like we've made so much content that there's always going to be people that are going to check back because we're always like the best is yet to come.
We're always going to keep making videos.
I feel like there's just always going to be people that are going to want to check back on what we're doing, whether it's a week from now, a month from now, a year from now.
I think that we've established a pretty core audience in everything that we've done.
I always want to keep content outflow out, but I also have been really wanting to focus on bigger projects, like maybe doing a.
Stand up routine or like buying land and opening Megalodon Ranch and allowing people to come hunt for shark's teeth with us and you know maybe make some documentaries.
I have a couple crazy ideas for documentaries, just like really, yeah, just like documentaries that you would release on your YouTube page.
No, I'd want to, um, I'd want to like shop them on the platforms, like you know, maybe get something on Netflix or Hulu, whatever anybody who's interested, yeah.
Netflix is so crazy, dude.
There's so many fucking shows on Netflix.
It's almost impossible.
There's so many fucking long-form series on Netflix that come out every single day.
It's hard to keep up with all of them.
They want content, though, and they're a good place to release content, and they're actually paying pretty well.
If you're an influencer that has a really good docuseries or documentary, something like that, they'll actually pay you good money to release it on their platform because you're going to be bringing your fan base to their platform.
Do you know of anybody who's transitioned from YouTube to Netflix as far as career wise or content wise?
Sam Macaroni.
He's the guy that directed Guest House, that movie that I was in.
He made YouTube videos for a really long time.
Now he's a full-time director.
Okay.
That's something I've always been interested in too, is just getting into shooting some real content.
While everybody's out there making 15-second TikToks, I want to learn the ropes of the film industry and maybe shoot some really sick documentaries.
Oh, yeah.
Like Deckhands.
That shit was awesome.
That was one of my favorite series.
That's my favorite series.
Ever, and that's some shit that easily could go on Netflix that people would enjoy, you know?
Yeah.
I've been going to Mexico for 10 years straight.
Even talking about Turner, I feel like that's a crazy documentary, too.
I don't think anyone on the platform, on YouTube, in history has ever gone from 100,000 subscribers to 10 million as quickly as Turner did.
I don't think it's ever happened.
No, dude.
It can't.
That was crazy.
He went so nuclear.
So fast.
Such a short amount of time.
World famous in one year from being a kid that was playing video games in the back room of the house.
I know.
Didn't even make like he didn't, he didn't care about anything like.
The crazy thing I always tell people about him is just like, like a lot of people, just try to chase all the trends.
You know, he did the opposite of that.
He did the opposite of that.
He stayed in his room and he kept playing video games.
And then one video game came, came about that just happened to be the kerosene to the match.
But you just cannot deny his skill too.
He's so insane, so nuts, like he just won an Apex Legends.
Uh, I saw that Rivals tournament.
That was yesterday, huge tournament.
He doesn't play Apex Legends very often.
And, like, he certainly doesn't practice it at a pro level, you know?
And he's a there's a clip that just went viral of, yeah, they're doing, like, the interview of the finals.
And they're, like, asking him a question.
And he just tornadoed a beer on stream, like, on the Twitch Rivals, like, live stream.
It was so sick.
Yeah, and he's, like, talking shit, too.
Like, I don't understand how you can not play the game, like, on a professional level and not he's just too good.
In-game IQ.
Yeah, he just outsmarts everyone.
It doesn't matter how mechanical you are.
He's just smarter.
Yeah, he'll just do something.
He's one step ahead of you.
I think he's more like 40 or 60 steps ahead.
Have you ever seen the pops of his fingers when he's playing?
Yeah.
Do you remember right before he blew up?
Yeah, the little documentary.
The 10-minute documentary.
Yeah, it got millions of views.
Now it has like 5 million views.
Yeah.
But that was like.
Right, that was like the day I uploaded that was like the day he officially joined FaZe.
Yeah.
And because I remember he's like, oh, I got to change the intro.
I can't just say Tfue.
I got to say FaZe Tfue.
I was like, that was kind of weird.
But then right after that, I mean, we are filming.
I remember filming him on his keyboard and his mouse.
And he had his keyboard instead of normal, he had it vertical.
Yeah.
He had his keyboard turned like that.
Yeah.
And he's like this.
Yeah.
So I don't know what that was.
Like he says, more room for the mouse or what?
It's just better for his arm.
To like rest, it's just more natural than like being over here, I suppose.
I don't know.
He, he like, he was a real trailblazer for gamers as a whole.
He was trying shit that nobody's ever tried before.
Like, you know, how you can bind your keys?
You know, like when you play a game, like W, E, S, D, whatever, like, yeah, those are the keys that run forward and side to side and back and forth.
Um, he would completely start from scratch and just like go through all these steps in his head to try to figure out what binds would just.
Be the most efficient possible.
And it's not like it's something that you.
It's like playing style.
It's like whatever you do the most, you need to be the easiest to access, but then you need to balance everything out as well.
I couldn't possibly go that into depth about it, but that alone, that takes a lot to set up all your keys and all your guns and all your commands.
For Scratch, he's like, Yeah, I just changed my binds.
It's going to take me three to four weeks to get used to them.
And he'll just train and Reset his brain to understand his keyboard differently and would just fucking destroy everyone, you know?
Insane.
The amount of focus that goes into that.
And the amount of like.
Intuitive too.
Like he just does it, he doesn't even have to think about it, right.
But like he does it so much and he like he focuses so for such a long period of time on that shit, it's like it's just.
I admire just that level of focus on one thing.
You know I mean he's I can will never be able to wrap my head around the fact that he is.
He won more tournaments than anyone has ever won, by far by like a long shot in Fortnite, And Fortnite is the most popular game that's ever been created in mankind.
There's never been anything more popular than that.
To be the best at the most popular game that's ever been made, that's shit.
It still will never make sense to me.
Yeah.
Didn't Ninja move to Florida?
Probably.
I heard that he did.
Yeah, I think so.
Yeah, because Jessica posted that she was in Florida, too.
Everybody loves Florida.
Everyone's moving to Florida.
Everybody's moving to Florida.
Yeah, Nick Merckx already lived here.
I think Tim the Tatman lives.
Like moved here.
I wouldn't surprise me if Ninja did too, but you know Turner reps Florida pretty hard, so I feel like Tyler's probably been kind of quiet about it.
Yeah yeah, he also.
You know he got abused like you don't want to.
Oh man, he went through some too.
You know Ninja like he was top dog and Turner like completely dethroned him like to where it wasn't even.
Uh, have you guys seen the KSI Tfu versus Ninja video?
No, oh my god, it's one of the funniest things I've ever seen.
Yeah, you should throw that on real quick.
Hey KSI ninja versus TFU.
You guys know KSI is one of the biggest youtubers on the planet.
Yeah, yeah, he did a little commentary.
It needs volume though.
Oh, I think I have seen this a long time ago.
And how many views does this have?
Seven million.
Yeah, then Turner reacted to it and it got another, like, yeah, 14 million on Turner's channel.
Oh my God.
On the reaction.
This is literally a video of, like, KSI kind of just shitting on Ninja, but, like, without having to because Turner, like, oh no, you gotta watch at least the first minute or two of this.
Dude, snapping.
I need another shaft.
You don't hear much about Fortnite these days.
It's because nobody plays it.
No?
What does everybody play now?
I have no idea.
I don't play anything.
No?
No.
You think there's going to be like a next big Fortnite?
Yeah, 100%.
Definitely.
It's got to be something.
Yeah, it's going to be something that's VR based, I bet, though.
VR?
Yeah, it's going to be a huge, like a VR game that everyone's addicted to.
I remember this clip right here.
Oh, yeah, he's fucking spamming him with the rocket launcher.
This is the first time they ever matched up.
Yep.
The spinner.
Oh, yeah, he gets that he gets up a loads more rockets really under pressure now This fucking game dude Yeah, it's Tifu.
He killed me.
No, what's really funny is like, there's actually a clip in here where Turner, skip forward a couple minutes.
It's when Turner's dressed as a chicken.
Yeah, right here.
Yeah, somewhere in there.
Yeah, check this out.
This shit is hilarious.
Is that a hacker?
He doesn't even react.
Oh, yeah, he took out his whole squad.
Yeah, he killed it.
Watch this, though.
So, yeah, Turner took out two of Ninja's boys already.
Ninja calls him a hacker, but this is so funny.
Oh, yeah, he says he's hacking AIMBOT.
Yeah, but they're both live streaming, too.
So, like, oh, that's hilarious.
He's like, I'm reporting you, bro.
I'm reporting you.
Oh, does he really say that?
Yeah.
Oh shit.
So, are all their people that are like in their live chat are they like jumping back and forth saying, Oh my god, it's Tfue, it's Tfue?
Yeah, so Ninja was just like focused on the fight, so he wasn't paying attention.
And people mess with Ninja all the time.
Yeah, because Turner had already killed him a couple times.
Oh, that was a crazy ad place.
Gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble.
He's flying in the air on fucking balloons.
So Turner died there.
Oh, so Turner died.
He didn't actually know.
But Ninja was like, alright, bro, be sure to go to the theater and report your ass.
Literally didn't miss his shot the entire time.
Calling him a hacker.
And he sees the chat.
Everyone's like, that's Tifu.
So sick.
It's so funny, too, how he somehow does those crazy trick maneuvers.
Yeah, he tried to trick shot him.
He knew he was going to die, but he figured if he could get the kill on that, it would be a good clip.
Turner plays for entertainment.
He wasn't playing to that much.
He was actively trying to kill somebody.
But he does it, he doesn't even react.
Most kids would be like, oh my God.
He's just stone faced after he does it.
And then Ninja realizes that he just called him a hacker when really he's just like.
I don't know.
Turner's so much better than Ninja that.
To Ninja, he's cheating.
Yeah.
Because it doesn't seem possible.
Do they even play the same game anymore?
Like, what is the game they play now?
So, they've known each other for years before Fortnite.
They used to play PUBG against each other.
Yeah.
And I don't really know what Ninja's doing now.
I know he still live streams.
He's probably just playing games just for fun.
Because Tim the Tap Man and him are really good friends.
Like, he helped him blow up.
So, I'm sure they're live streaming together still.
I still see him live every now and then.
Gaming Legends and Movies00:03:42
But, I don't know.
I really enjoyed watching Fortnite.
I think it was one of the most.
enjoyable games to watch as a viewer that was like ever created.
I think some of the end games in Fortnite were some of the most exciting things to watch like the tournaments that they would have.
Oh, yeah.
Seeing high pro level players stacked on top of each other like going to the end zones like strategies for that was so nuts and it was so cool to watch like all the comms between teams and everything and now it's just too saturated.
They added too much bullshit.
Yeah.
I think if there was like a Fortnite 3.0, that was like it would have to be something like revolutionary to gaming, you know, like maybe a VR version of Fortnite or something like that, because I just think the building aspect was really cool and that was the most unique pros.
Can't like mastered the mechanics and then like me as an average player that's just trying to relax and have fun, like I'm watching somebody who's insane at building, like I'm probably gonna get smoked, you know.
Yeah, but I don't know, the gaming world's crazy.
I'm definitely waiting for the next big thing.
I'm very interested to see when a massive game is gonna be released and tied to like a cryptocurrency, because I think that that's in the future for gaming.
Well, there are a ton of those play to earn games.
Yeah, there's a ton.
Yeah, but like one that, like Microsoft or like Ubisoft or someone like that releases like a Matt, you know, Fortnite attached to like like that's a play to earn game.
The new GTA?
Yeah yeah, something like that.
You know, because I don't know, I think everything's going digital, do you?
Do you fuck around with VR at all?
Oculus at all, or a little bit?
I've done it a little bit, but it doesn't really interest me that much.
Yeah, I'm more interested in trying to like, Create really good content.
I do watch a lot of movies.
Watch some TV shows too.
I'm a fan of consuming high-quality movies all to go in the top 100 movies.
Like classic movies?
I mean, just anything I feel like that's highly recommended.
I have a lot of conversations with my friends about it.
I recently watched Green Book.
You guys seen that one?
Oh, yeah.
That's a fucking great movie.
That's one of my favorite movies I've ever seen.
That was a really good movie.
I enjoyed that.
Hector and the Search for Happiness.
Have you seen that one?
No.
Superfire movie.
You guys seen Shaun of the Dead?
No, I've seen that.
You've seen that?
Yeah, it's like Dawn of the Dead, but it's like the first comedy zombie movie ever made.
Oh, no, I have seen that.
You're throwing records at the zombie.
Yeah, it's that guy.
It's the blonde dude from that.
Or like Hot Fuzz.
Have you seen Hot Fuzz?
Yeah.
I don't know.
I worked at the flea market for like four years, and I would buy DVDs all the time.
That's like one of the things.
I'd find somebody that's selling like four for a dollar, and I'd get a bunch of really sick movies.
I have a ton of movies at my house.
I don't know.
I always wanted to be in movies and make movies.
That's something that's always excited me.
I'm just going to keep learning.
I've been watching movies kind of from the standpoint of how they're shot, how they're filmed, looking at the different lighting and whatnot.
Plus, getting to be on set for Guest House.
I watch them making a movie in front of me.
I'm like, this is something I could do.
Get the right cameramen, get the right directors, the right lighting, the right mics.
It's not that hard.
It's just so much work.
It is a lot of work.
And there's so many people.
That's what you do.
There's so many fucking, there's just so much.
It's like, I always think it's like a construction site.
Like, have you ever worked construction?
Have you ever been on a construction site?
High Quality Prank Ideas00:05:58
It's the same fucking thing.
Yeah.
You got this fucking crew of electricians that come in an electrical truck that are in charge of all the wires and all the electric and all that shit.
You have another crew of people who are in charge of setting up the lights.
Another giant crew of people who have the props.
You have the fucking DP, the directors, the assistant director.
Like, it's just like I don't know.
Doesn't have to be that complicated, though.
No, I don't.
The guy that I was, Sam Macaroni, the guy that was a YouTuber turned, you know, director, he does excellent work.
And he has a really solid team and a really solid crew.
I mean, yeah, there's a lot of moving parts, like to edit the whole thing.
And, you know, you got to shoot everything in, like, fucking 6K now.
I don't even know what's going on.
I don't even know who has a 6K monitor to watch 6K on, you know?
That's what's crazy, too, is, like, Nobody has 4k like anything nobody consumes like this isn't fucking 4k You can't fit 4,000 pixels on this tiny screen, you know, like I don't know It's it's so hard to To like shoot like that when I feel like nobody is consuming content on anything but their phones, you know, mm-hmm like I'm a fan of sitting on my couch and putting something on my TV that I can sit down and like enjoy, you know,
mm-hmm I think a lot of people are still.
Yeah, I think so too That's why I think TikTok's bullshit.
Yeah, I think that's what's like.
It's like a whole narrative, though.
It's crazy.
I don't know.
The world's gone mad.
Our lifetimes are going to be nuts.
It's insane.
What do you think the future of YouTube is in general?
Do you think YouTube has a shelf life?
Do you think there's going to be a changing of the guard when it comes to YouTube?
Is there going to be another big platform that takes over?
I hope so.
YouTube is dog shit now.
I mean, I love making content for people, but I don't like the restrictions that YouTube has.
I feel like it's like a freedom of speech thing.
I think one of the worst things that's ever happened in the history of social media is deplatforming Trump.
He has his own website now, though.
Yeah, I just think that to take someone's voice away, Like, he was still president when they took, when Twitter deplatformed him, you know?
Like, that's, like, scary censorship.
That's censorship that I think should not exist anywhere, you know?
Because, like, whatever your stances are of him, he should be able to say what he wants to the people that care enough to follow him, you know?
Like, because, like, everyone can choose what they want to read, what they want to watch, what they want to listen to, you know?
We, for a very long time, everyone was kind of trapped in a box of, Content consumption like you could only watch what was on TV or what movies were out and like as soon as the internet came out it like gave people the ability to search for whatever they were interested in you know whatever they wanted to learn about and that's why I'm such a huge fan of it but like When you start taking people's voices away and start like telling people what they can and they can't upload it's like it's like the freedom aspect of it goes away.
So I've heard a lot about rumble you guys know what rumble is yeah, I think they're based in in like Sarasota or yeah, yeah, right down south on the west coast And they're not censoring people and they're letting people upload the content that they want.
Yeah, well, there's always going to be.
That's capitalism, right?
When you see it, the wounded lion, there's always going to be someone else that's coming up to take over, take his spot.
Yeah.
You know, no matter what, you can say whatever you want.
There's always going to be someone that's going to want to fill that void.
Just blows my mind, like looking at, thinking back on, I don't know, we've been grinding YouTube forever.
I'm just kind of looking for the next thing, you know?
I really still enjoy filming commentary and I enjoy uploading videos as they come.
Like if I go on trips, we go snowboard and surf and do a bunch of awesome stuff.
But like public pranks, we haven't done anything like that in years.
We kind of stepped away from all that.
I mean, we did like the shark prank.
We did like Holly Boob and like.
The shark prank was so good.
I want to do like super high quality pranks.
Like, yeah.
One of the ideas we have is we're going to take that fake shark fin and like hook it up to Merrick on the beach who's like got a fish on and have him hook up to a big shark.
But we wanted to put him in one of those little orange inflatable boats and have him be like, oh, it's pulling all my line out.
And he'll get in the boat and start reeling in and then have the fin come out of the water and just drag Merrick 100 yards down the beach by a giant fin in a little orange boat.
That is awesome.
So we have a couple ideas for pranks that I think are just going to be absolutely magical and just classic.
Everyone would love to see something like that.
That would be so cool if you could evolve the pranks and just keep them rolling and just evolve them into something just like.
Cinema quality pranks.
Oh, we have such good ideas.
We've been working for so long to try to get the news to put fake Bigfoot footage out.
It's been going on for like a year.
And like, we've been like sending in Bigfoot sightings from like all across South Florida.
And we've actually had a couple news stations respond, but they're like, oh, footage isn't good enough.
If you actually catch something on video, blah, blah, blah, send it in next time.
You're the fucking news.
Come on.
We're still working on it.
I think it's going to work.
But like, I want to prank the whole United States.
I would like to get Bigfoot.
On a news station in every state.
And then you could say that you pranked the whole country.
I think China's doing a good job of pranking us already.
China.
What do you think about World War III?
I think it's starting right now.
The guys in charge are all fucking world War III, as we do this podcast right now, World War III is literally beginning.
Oh, that would suck.
I hope not.
Questioning Water Authority00:15:27
Nobody's down for that, though.
The average person does not want war to go to war.
It wasn't as hard to draft people back 100 years ago because because they rested them if you didn't go.
Yeah, that, too.
But also, the internet wasn't around.
People weren't making all sorts of money.
There's so much information out there.
Yeah, there's so much that people have learned and can learn and like I feel like war is just like it seems so.
They can't.
It's like they all the all the stones to go shoot people like right, I'm sure there's some psychos out there.
Like you know, people don't want that like for for anyone, and I don't know.
War has always been a game about money and it's crazy that the richest people that exist are so okay with just like Such horrible things happening.
Like billionaires have like the ability to really change the world in some awesome ways.
They just don't, you know, and I don't understand that.
I never will and I never understand, like why people listen to these people.
Like I Don't know especially with everything that's going on with covet like people are so quick to just like comply and to just do what the government says.
Like I don't trust anything the government tells me.
I think that's very important to like question authority, you know, I've seen what The Florida government has done for the water quality, and they I can't trust them with how irresponsible they've been with just the quality of our oceans and of our waterways.
Like, they're so incompetent and they're so unwilling to fix such serious problems just because some billion dollar industry makes a billion dollars here.
Like, what was it, the sugar industry in Florida that was contributing to all the phosphate mining is the worst, phosphate mining is the worst thing that has played out.
And they funded a lot of Rick Scott's.
Oh, yeah.
Of course they did.
Yeah.
And like some of the biggest marine labs for water quality and research in Florida are funded by Mosaic, which is the multi-billion dollar phosphate company.
It's just like, as long as that keeps happening, I'm not trusting a word that our government says at all.
Like if they need to give the people a reason to trust them, you know, I shouldn't have to be persuaded into trusting you.
I should see what you're doing and want to trust you based on the actions that are taken by.
By you, by the government.
They need to do things that people see impacting their communities in a positive way.
And all I've seen is dead dolphins and manatees and sea turtles.
So they cannot blame me for not wanting to trust them when they have been extremely irresponsible.
And that's just Florida government.
The president knew about what was happening here.
President Trump signed that, I think it was like a billion dollar bill for a reservoir to be built.
South of Lake Okeechobee to contain the toxic water like can you pull up Google Earth for me real quick?
You guys want to see something crazy?
What color is Florida?
What color?
Yeah from space Green yeah It was it's not green anymore South Florida is not looking too green anymore really yeah you want to see South Florida's mostly the Everglades swamp and mangroves right used to be Let's see it.
Yeah, go down a little bit look at past Lake Okeechobee Oh yeah, the tip is browning a little bit.
Yeah, you see that?
And what is this from?
It's because the historic water flow of Florida goes from north to south.
They built a reservoir around the south end of Lake Okeechobee to where water cannot flow from Lake Okeechobee into the Everglades anymore.
They're sending it east and west.
Right, right.
So the Everglades are drying out.
Oh, yeah.
Because of the restricted water flow.
It's like, zoom in to the, yeah, like Big Cypress National Preserve.
Zoom in a little bit more.
Like, it's not looking good.
No.
No, it looks a little dry for sure.
Yeah, for sure.
Have you ever gone down there?
Like, look at all that.
That looks like shit up there.
Yeah, and look at all the agriculture.
That's why.
It's because they don't want that small city there to flood.
People shouldn't live there, for one.
And water should be flowing from Lake Okeechobee down all the way down there, all the way through South Florida.
But it's not, and it hasn't been for years.
And what is the reason that they created those?
To prevent flooding.
Because people are stupid, and when houses flood, we build big walls and we send water elsewhere.
It doesn't make any fucking sense.
Flooding where, though?
From a small town south of Lake Okeechobee oh okay okay yeah, and like you see, all that agriculture, like all those farms, that's like mostly sugar, but uh yeah, those shouldn't be there either, and water used to flow.
You know, streams used to flow, like when it would rain too much.
You know water would overflow south, and I guess there was like a really big hurricane and it just flooded too much or something, I don't know.
But yeah, we're restricting that.
We're restricting this historic water flow in Florida.
It's another huge problem.
And that's because our government's incompetent.
Have you ever seen Carlton Ward's page on Instagram?
He is like the most legendary Florida photographer, wildlife photographer.
You got to pull it up.
Look up Carlton Ward's Instagram page.
He's like a super big actor, really big activist for like preserving like all the wildlife and like the undeveloped land in Florida.
I think he just got something passed.
There was some big bill or law that was just passed where we had to keep a certain percentage of Florida undeveloped and natural.
I forget what it was called.
Go to his Instagram.
This is his website.
Yeah, but you want to see his Instagram.
There it is.
It's the second link down.
There we go.
This guy is a Florida legend.
He takes some of the fucking sickest.
All his photography is Florida.
He's got these super high quality cameras all throughout Florida.
The Everglades throughout all the undeveloped land and floor like badass trail cams and their motion cameras right so they take like super like go down to that one of that panther down there right there.
Oh fuck log in So like he gets these things of all these crazy animals like in the middle of the night just going through his trail cams and so everybody who's lived here long enough.
It's like my biggest thing is if people don't know they can't care so like educating people on what's going on is with our water quality is very important something I try to talk about frequently Through like my YouTube videos, but every time I post videos about it, it seems like they're suppressed and they don't get recommended.
I don't know, whatever.
That's another conspiracy for another day.
That's another thing I noticed with YouTube, with this podcast, is that the amount of people that watch it on YouTube fluctuates so much, but on Spotify, it's always consistent.
It's always like a consistent amount.
Like the same people that are subscribed to it, they always listen to it.
But on YouTube, it's the complete opposite.
But yeah, Carlton Ward's super.
Super big into this.
He's a super big activist for Florida wildlife.
You guys know about Randall Carlson?
Yeah, he was on this podcast a month ago.
You guys had him in here?
Yeah, he was sitting right where you are a month ago.
Really?
Yeah.
No way.
That guy's a legend.
You didn't see it?
No.
YouTube suppressed it.
I did not get it.
YouTube suppressed it.
It's because he's a concrete Randall Carlson.
No way you got to see it.
It's because he's a Freemason.
They suppressed it.
I love this guy.
Dude, Randall rules, dude.
Dude, did he blow your guys' mind about all the cataclysmic events?
Oh, yeah.
Everything in the area?
Oh, my gosh.
What?
I'm sitting in Randall's chair?
Randall is a fucking legend.
He's a goat.
I would love to just, like, go on a trip with him to just, like, some crazy.
He's doing some stuff in Tennessee.
He's doing some tours in Tennessee right now where he's touring some what?
Portugal too.
And Portugal.
Oh yeah, yeah.
So he's going to why humans need to leave Earth soon?
What was the consensus here?
He thinks that we're fucked?
I mean does the headline have to have anything to do with it?
Was he talking about the clock?
Was he talking about the clock where the cataclysmic events like they're way more likely to happen in a short window of time.
Yeah, he's basically saying that every, I think it was 400 to, no, every 600,000 years, there is an extinction level event from either volcanoes or asteroids.
No, he's saying every like 13,000 years.
No, that's the younger Dryas.
Every, I think it's 600, I want to say it's 600,000 years.
There is either a super volcano like the one that's underneath Yellowstone or an insane asteroid, a group of asteroids that take out and out of the sea.
And what do you think is happening soon?
Well, we are in like a 100 year window right now of the exact anniversary of the last time Earth was wiped out by a super volcano.
So volcanoes are one thing.
And we're having some crazy volcanic activity lately.
And the asteroids is like.
I don't know.
I think they cycled every 13, 12 to 13,000 years or something like that.
But yeah, dude, that was a mind-bending podcast.
He does his research.
He's really smart.
I've listened to hours and hours and hours of that guy talk.
I'm definitely going to watch his podcast.
It's a good one.
I bet.
Everything he says is just.
It takes you on a deep journey into the history of mankind.
He believes that humans have existed for long, long before what the history books say.
Super interesting guy.
We talked about Atlantis, this lost city of Atlantis, and where he thinks it is.
And he's going up there to do some filming and to go in a submarine around the Azores.
To try to find Atlantis?
You know where the Azores, like the Azores Plateau?
It's like if you go up to Spain and you go directly out into the middle of the Atlantic, it's like halfway.
It's like almost halfway between Greenland and Spain.
And that's where he thinks Atlantis is.
And he's going to go into a submarine and explore.
Under.
That's where the Azores is.
That's where he thinks the lost city Of Atlantis was.
That looks like somewhere that Atlantis would be um.
So there's some.
There's some submerged volcanoes and mountains right there interesting and there's some crazy looking.
Pull up some photos of the Azores on like Google Photo or whatever.
This would be an epic trip for the Jigsquad.
I think there's surf there too there's.
Is that where they filmed the beach?
There's good surf there.
It does look like the beach.
Right, Get Rid Of Island, maybe.
Oh, man.
Yeah, it's just Azores, yeah.
Yeah, there's some insane shit in the Azores.
That'd be so cool.
I hope he discovers something that's groundbreaking.
It's been his life's work, you know?
Yeah.
It's rare you find somebody who's dedicated that much of their life to one specific thing, geology.
Yeah, he's been on Rogan's podcast three times, too, I'm pretty sure.
I think it's like seven times.
Is it?
Yeah.
Oh, shit.
But he's so into geography and cosmology.
Somebody who knows so much about the history of the earth and rocks and then so much about the fucking stars and the planets.
He's got it all on paper, too.
He compiles so many other people's research.
He takes everything and collects all their thoughts.
All their facts and everything that they've learned and yeah, he paints some really cool pictures.
You guys watch the YouTube channel after school Spelled with a K.
It's one of my favorite channels that exists on YouTube and it's just a guy who's really good at drawing and He takes philosophers and politicians and Comedians and influencers and takes like passages of things that they've said mostly philosophers and he draws pictures to what they're saying Yeah, if you click on any one of his videos Yeah, like the last video he made was eight days ago, Terrence McKenna.
I try to watch.
So sick.
You know, I made like a daily goal to watch one of this guy's videos a day because he just takes so many different wise people's words and makes really cool videos.
Okay, he does these super fast animated videos.
Yep.
He's a really awesome channel though because I mean, I feel like everything is very like inspired, like enlightened.
Yeah.
Awesome.
Turn the air on.
Calming assurance.
So, yeah, 10 out of 10 recommend this channel if you haven't checked it out.
Go home, check out his large library of videos and find something you like and check it out.
You guys are familiar with the Fibonacci sequence then?
Because Randall Carlson is a big.
I mean, he works with Graham Hancock pretty closely, and Graham Hancock released the book Fingerprints of the Gods.
You guys looked into that stuff?
Yeah, I read Fingerprints of the Gods.
Yeah, Fibonacci is crazy.
Explain it to people.
It's just a series of numbers, just like 1 plus 2 is 3, 2 plus 3 is 5, so on and so forth.
And then if you take a 1x1 box and you put it next to a 1x2 box and you put it next to a 2x3 box, yeah, it creates the perfect spiral that's been seen throughout all of nature waves, shells, your eye.
You know, it's just, it's undeniable throughout the entire universe.
And if you count the amount of spirals on a pine cone or on a flower or on a tree, They'll like pretty much always add up to one of the Fibonacci sequences.
Like there's this other YouTube channel of this girl and she takes all kinds of fruits and vegetables and plants and flowers and pine cones and she draws on all of the spirals and counts all of them and they just always add up to be a Fibonacci number.
Really?
And what does he equate that to?
Like what does he equate that to?
They just call it like the fingerprint of the gods.
It's just something that can't be explained yet.
It's everywhere, you know?
Is it at all tied into the Anunnaki?
I don't know what that is.
Dude, Randall's a wild fucking guy.
Randall is a beast, dude.
He knows some fucking, like, some of the shit that he told me, like, about the moon and, like, about how the moon could possibly be hollow.
Have you heard the story about how they ran a satellite in the moon?
Hollow Moon Theories00:06:42
Oh, yeah.
And it, like, reverberated for, like, 60 hours or something crazy.
Yes, I did hear about that.
Yeah, it rung like a bell.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I forgot about that.
There's so much crazy shit.
And he was saying, you know, one of the things I asked him about when he was on here, I was like, so if you were in charge of our species on Earth, I'm like, what, and you, knowing everything that you know, because no one can possibly know what you know, Randall, what would you do right now?
Like, what should we be doing right now?
He's like, the number one priority for us right now should be to preserve our species is to.
Get us onto the moon like get us living on the moon as soon as possible I'm like not Mars or anything's like no he's like Mars is gonna take too long the law there's all this all these problems Elon thinks that Mars is in the near future Yeah, Elon says it's gonna be what how long does he say it's gonna be like 50 hundred years?
Yeah, I mean I thought it was even less than that but he seems very confident in his rockets abilities and Oh man, but the moon is gonna have to be an intermediary yeah point to the Mars So he's like, the first thing we should do is get on the fucking moon because if something happens on Earth, we need a way to at least get some of us off the Earth to preserve our species because he truly believes that there's an extinction event coming very soon.
Wow.
And we're in that 100 year window right now?
Yes.
For not only the asteroids, but the super volcanoes.
Would you go to the moon if everybody started moving there?
Shit.
I mean, what kind of life is that?
You know?
I'll probably just catch it.
The wave that the last tsunami.
There's no surf on the moon.
Yeah, no, he's talking an event, though, that would be like everything ends.
Like a shockwave is so powerful that you just die instantly.
Well, yeah, I mean, instantly, it depends how close you are to it.
They're saying if the volcano erupted in Yellowstone.
It would be a slow death for all of us.
It would be everyone in the U.S. would die.
Within a couple weeks.
Obviously, in like the 500 mile vicinity of the volcano, instant death.
But the entire United States would take a couple weeks.
And then it would eventually get over to Europe.
And we would run out of oxygen, right?
Yeah.
And it would black out the skies.
Shit would die.
And everything would have to rebuild.
Oh my God, dude.
Could you imagine?
Just like when hurricanes come here and we lose power for a week or two.
Like Irma.
Remember Irma?
Yeah, dude.
I feel like that volcano, the last one that erupted.
In the ocean, like that was a real wake up call.
That was like life, as we know it, can change like that.
Like everything, you know, like all, and that's another problem that I have with like grinding TikTok and like putting all my time into something that doesn't like serve me or the planet.
You know, I want to do stuff that I enjoy.
Like, I feel like our days are numbered, obviously, they are numbered, but I don't know if I got next week to look forward to, so I kind of try to like live fast and.
Just try to do everything that is on my bucket list essentially, but you know, I've been traveling so much lately that I am also happy to get home and work on some other projects and do some other stuff and teach people about history because like just like Randall is such a beast just because he's super passionate about it, you know, through Fossil exploration like finding all the megalodon teeth and all the mammoth stuff that we find like I've learned so much about planet Earth.
How did you get into the game?
How did you get into the game?
So much about Florida.
Just been finding shark's teeth my whole life And with the birth of the internet, you become aware of a lot of stuff that you didn't know about.
And I saw people scuba diving for megalodon teeth, and I saw people digging.
I just went on YouTube, Shark Tooth Hunting Florida, and I find videos of people walking around on construction sites finding giant megalodon teeth.
I'm like, what?
This is insane.
So we got a tip to go, I'm not even going to say the tip online, that we got.
We got like a general area.
It's like, hey, if you go somewhere around here and you find a construction site and they dug down deep enough, there will be shark's teeth there.
So it was raining one day, and we heard, you know, rain's a good time to go shark's tooth hunting because the rain washes away the sand and it leaves the the big stuff, you know, all the fine sand goes away and all the big teeth get left behind.
Are you talking about Venice, Florida?
We were near Venice, yeah.
Okay.
But, like, there's like.
That place is famous for shark's teeth.
Yeah, it's the shark's teeth capital of the world.
Oh, is it really?
No.
It's Caspersons Beach.
The pier is called Sharky's Pier.
So, from Venice to South Carolina, there's shark's teeth.
Okay.
Yeah.
I think even further up than that.
And, but Florida has the most well preserved shark's teeth on the planet.
Like, the highest quality teeth on the planet come from Florida.
Like, there are no.
There is nowhere on the planet that people will pay such a premium on price for shark's teeth than the teeth that come out of Florida.
I don't know what that is.
It has to do with the phosphorus in the ground.
It has to do with all the minerals that were here.
Because Florida's been underwater several times, probably dozens of times.
And you can find megalodon teeth all across the whole state.
And we're really trying to buy land right now because we want to preserve those fossils.
There's so much development going on right now.
And when they develop all these neighborhoods on this land, they're destroying so much history.
So we're just trying to buy like 20 acres, 30 acres, 50 acres, something like that.
So we can excavate it for fossils and, you know, conserve what's left there before the whole entire fucking state of Florida is developed and the whole United States moves here.
It's full, dude.
It really, like, my hometown is not as enjoyable as it once was.
Like, I love where I live because it's like quiet beach town.
Like, you know, they're trying to build a fucking parking garage behind Kravy Bills.
Oh, man.
Like, somewhere between Central Ave and Fifth Ave, like that strip, they're trying to build, like, a three-story parking garage.
Really?
Yeah, and they're, like, trying to, like, be, like, hush-hush about it.
And, like, all the residents found out.
Now there's, like, an uproar on there.
They don't want it to happen.
Hell no.
Corporate Business Moves00:04:49
I posted about it.
I was like, yo, come to this city hall meeting.
Oppose this.
This is dog shit.
Yeah.
People are like, oh, it'll, um, it'll free up all the people that park in the neighborhoods.
It's like, No, it won't.
It'll just make more people comfortable.
Right, right.
If you want parking garages, go to Clearwater Beach.
Please, just get out of here.
Like, it's bad enough that there's dozens of townhomes popping up everywhere.
You know, it's not.
Dude, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, three days in a row during the week in the winter, every beach access parking lot completely slammed.
I've never seen that before this time of year, you know?
It's been like that for a couple years.
I mean, no, the last two years, like.
I don't know.
COVID scared everybody, bro.
COVID scared everybody.
Yeah, it did.
You know, there was a point in time where I could go on the beach.
There was not a single person on the beach because the beach was closed.
Was that during COVID?
Really?
They closed the beaches down.
You guys don't remember that?
Yeah.
They would not let people on the beach.
I don't remember that.
Yeah, I do.
They had the accesses all blocked off.
They had cops blocking them, barricades and everything.
It's fucking dumb.
It's so dumb.
Can we agree that COVID is bullshit?
Everyone in Florida's over there.
Oh, it's not the dumbest fucking thing ever.
What would you block?
the beach.
They do the dumb and they're still doing the dumbest shit.
And everyone's just super okay with like not everybody, but a lot of people.
A lot of people.
Dude, it's like people are pussies.
A lot of people are pussies.
The companies that are making these vaccines are some of the least trusted companies in the medical field that have ever existed.
There's been multi-million dollar lawsuits against these companies for impractical drug use.
The list is endless of all the shit that they've done wrong.
Everyone's just so okay.
Did you know that the COVID vaccine is the most profitable?
Medical product in history.
Like Pfizer made $49 billion in one year off of selling the vaccines, making it the most profitable medical product of all time.
I believe it.
Like that shouldn't happen because like Russell Brand just did a podcast.
Like, I love it.
A vaccine that's supposed to help the entire planet should be made with the best interest of people's health.
They made it with the best interest of making the most money.
Right.
So, like, when a company's drive is stock and to keep their shareholders happy and to make as much money as possible, they're probably not going to put as much time as they possibly can into making sure that it's a great product.
Right.
Right.
It wouldn't make sense.
It's not a good business move.
So, like, historically, all they've done is what is, you know, like, they came out with a medicine that was, like, really good for.
Some specific disease.
I don't remember exactly what it was, but once it became a really popular medicine, it was marked up like 7,000% from when they released it because it became popular.
And because once it's worked and once they knew that people needed it, they can charge a lot more for it.
So, like, when their interest as a company is to make money and not release a product that is affordable and that makes sense for their consumer, like, we really, like, how is the whole entire planet just going to all of a sudden trust this?
Corporation that's interest is making money.
Did you know?
Did you know that?
And then once you start mandating it, once you start saying people have to take something that is made by a company that people didn't fucking trust before, you know, it's like, what, like, am I speaking a foreign language here?
Or is this ridiculous?
Like, no, it's totally not.
Is it ridiculous that you will get shamed for saying no and that you can't go to certain countries because you didn't want to take a drug that was created by criminals?
You know, like, it's crazy.
Did you know that?
I think it's.
75 to 80 percent.
I think that was the stat we talked about with Dom D'Agostino.
75 this guy, we had this guy on here who's a nutritional research scientist and a neuroscientist.
And we were talking about how the United States, out of all the clinical research, the billions of I forget the price, but it's in like the tens of billions of dollars every year for clinical research funding, between 80 and 90 percent of it goes to drugs.
Instead of shit like diet or psychological stuff or anything like that, it's all just based on drugs, on remedies.
Not remedies, but God, everyone's becoming such a pussy, too.
Comedy Lines and Remedies00:03:38
Like, it's like you have to be okay with what everyone wants for themselves.
Like, that's okay, but like also we shouldn't be just like allowing people to just like eat McDonald's every day until they die or like only eat candy or like only eat ice cream.
You know, like there needs to be a line drawn.
Like, ah.
They don't preach health on any of the mainstream outlets.
You know, like when COVID first came out, it's like, hey, like the sun is really good.
Like we need to treat this as, as what we've always treated viruses.
Like if it's something that, that harms your lungs, you know, get your lungs open up, get outside, get, you know, get your cardio going, make sure you're breathing, make sure you get your heart, you know, what just preaching like healthy lifestyles.
It's like gone.
And it's just like, you can't call like a fat person fat because it's offensive nowadays.
But like also like we need to like coach these people that aren't healthy into being healthier instead of just being like, everyone's like, it's okay to like be 300 pounds overweight.
It's like, I don't hate you for it, but like I would like to tell you what you.
Can do to make the quality of your life better.
You know right, and don't weaponize it against other people.
Yeah, and then it's just like I don't know.
It's like all the movement like big is beautiful like yeah, everyone's beautiful.
You know everybody is beautiful, but like also you like healthy is, like being healthy is important.
Yeah, live very long.
You know, I don't know.
It's just everyone's getting too sensitive, like you should be able to say what you want.
That's why I want to do stand-up comedy too, because I feel like if you're a comedian, there's almost like you're allowed to cross lines.
You know you're allowed to like cross boundaries for the sake of comedy, and I just feel like I'd really enjoy myself.
I've been working on routine for like four years now.
Have you?
Yeah.
And like very soon I'm just going to go to an open mic night.
Have you ever done any open to mic nights?
Never.
Not once.
Really?
Yeah, but I've written a lot of material that I'm convinced is really funny.
I'll watch a lot of stand-up comedians' specials.
And a lot of the time they're really not that funny.
A lot of the time I write better stuff than this.
I know for a fact.
And I won't step to somebody like Dave Chappelle or like Daniel Tosh or Richard Pryor.
Like those guys are all absolutely goaded, you know?
But like, I was watching Kevin Hart's last stand up.
He's like, you know, this whole COVID thing hasn't made me feel comfortable.
I don't like leaving my house.
So that's why we're doing this in my house.
And he's got like people perfectly six feet apart, like scattered across like this theater room, I guess, in his house.
Like, everyone's double masked.
And like, he's doing jokes about COVID.
And like, I watched it for like 30 minutes and I didn't laugh once.
I turned it off and I was like, I'm funnier than at least that, you know?
Yeah.
I don't know.
I've been working on it.
I think it's going to be good.
But that's one of my like bucket lists.
Things.
You got to do.
A stand-up routine, you know, stand-up special when are you going to start doing open mic nights soon, like sometime like this month or next month?
Yeah, you're just going to show up unannounced, just random small comedy clubs, and just start doing it.
See what happens, just like see if I can draw some laughs.
Like practice my style.
Maybe go have a cameraman come and film, just like I don't know, I want to get my feet wet.
You know, I feel like it's like ripping off a band-aid.
It's just something that I need to go and do and it's like uh, Dave Chappelle said he was so nervous the first time that he did stand-up And went out there, enjoyed it, you know, went to go do something at the Apollo, got booed off stage.
And then it was just like, you know, that was the worst.
Like, nothing can hurt me now.
Like, you know, he said he just went through it and then never stopped.
I saw the funniest.
I went to the best stand up show I've ever been to.
Rogue Wave Experiences00:09:06
Who?
Last week.
Tim Dillon.
I don't know who that is.
You know who Tim Dillon is?
No.
Oh, my God, dude.
He is the funniest motherfucker.
In the world.
You have to, you have to watch, you have to listen to his podcast.
He does this like monologue type podcast where he just he's kind of like he's like the gay, younger version of Alex Jones.
Holy wow, imagine Alex Jones, but like in his early, like his mid 30s and gay i'm gonna check and a little bit overweight and he's like super into crypto and like Metaverse and he's super into conspiracy theories and dude he is and he's kind of like right wing too interesting funny, as i'm checking this guy, That's the kind of shit you find on Tim Dillon's Twitter page.
Interesting.
The fucking deep dark.
Wait, did Tim Dillon post a bit?
Yeah, the deep, dark wormholes of conspiracies.
Holy shit.
But that's like, it's kind of like the same thing with COVID.
You know, when 9-11 happened, they just found more ways to control us and take more power with the Patriot Act and the war on the Iraq war.
And with COVID, they're trying to do the same thing.
I just heard something about they're trying, which country is it?
The UK is talking about, Great Britain is talking about creating their own type of digital currency.
That's like a, It's like a coupon.
So it's like a, think of like a crypt.
They want to create their own cryptocurrency, but it's centralized so they can control what you can use your money for.
So they can say, you can go and you can take your money that you make every week at your job.
You can use it to buy this kind of food or you can use it to buy that.
So they can literally control what you buy.
It's like a Black Mirror episode.
Yeah, it really is.
Just like a Black Mirror episode.
I'm chilling on all that craziness.
Dude, and that's like, the world's supposed to be more simple.
Like, there's too much noise.
Like, there's too much.
You can grow your own shit.
People are so, so crazy and so wrapped up in everything that goes on in their phones and, like, what they see in the news.
And, like, oh, God, just 100 years ago, we didn't have these things.
And, like, life was so much more simple.
Like, have you ever considered what your life would be like for the next few weeks if you did not use a computer or a phone?
Like, what would you do?
I never even thought about it.
I'd be on the beach somewhere.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'd be on the beach somewhere.
I'd be surfing.
I'd be surfing maxed out pipe with Nathan Florence with my life flashing before my eyes.
Well, like, think about that.
Like, think about a year.
Like, what would the next year of your life look like without technology?
Never thought about it.
People need to think about that.
Yeah.
What would you do?
Probably along the lines of the same stuff that I do anyways, you know?
Shark's teeth?
I love the internet, and I love technology, and I love editing, and going down rabbit holes, and learning, and the metaverse and crypto and NFTs and whatever it is, I love it.
I think it's awesome.
I think it's very positive.
It can be used in a very positive way.
But I like the real world way more.
I'd rather go surfing.
I'd rather go skating.
I'd rather go golf.
I'd rather go hunt for megalodon teeth.
I'd rather go paddleboard, go out on the beach.
I really enjoy being outside.
One of my favorite things that I've started obsessing over the last few years is getting videos and pictures of storms.
Supercells and lightning and time lapses.
Like man I filmed.
Did you see the lightning strikes I filmed last year?
I filmed, in my opinion, some of the most uniquely captured lightning strikes that have ever been filmed by anyone, and it wasn't because of my skill as a videographer, I just was in the right place at the right time for the right lightning strike.
You know, like the slow-mo guys took their $200,000 red camera, you know, and went and filmed lightning at 60,000 frames per second in 4k, you know, But the lightning, type of lightning that they were shooting, wasn't as impressive as, you know, what Mother Nature has to offer.
It's like going and shooting IRB versus pipeline.
It's like what kind of lightning were they shooting?
They were just shooting like cloud to ground lightning, just like quick like bolts, like boom.
But there's like a there's different there's a lot of different types of lightning and there's different like levels to where the lightning strikes in the atmosphere.
And like I've learned that like anvil crawler lightning, the lightning that crawls across the bottom of the cloud is some of the.
Best lightning, did you know recently it was like the biggest lightning strike was recorded?
Yeah, I just did a video about that.
And the biggest, yeah.
Oh, yeah, it was your video.
Yeah, yeah, the rogue wave and the lightning.
I think I sent it to you.
Yeah.
What was the deal with the rogue wave?
The rogue wave.
A rogue wave is defined as a wave that is more than twice as big as the swell surrounding it.
So if it's like two to four foot and there's just like a nine to ten foot wave that comes out of nowhere, that would be considered a rogue wave.
So it was the biggest rogue wave that's ever been recorded in history.
It was around like 78 feet.
Pull it up.
Type in Juke Squad real quick.
Did you figure out what it was from?
Or did anybody figure out what it was from?
It's just like according to all the data that we've gathered in the With all the buoys a wave like that only happens once every like it's the biggest rogue wave.
Yeah, that one every 1300 years Or yeah, that was the odds that we've gathered you're gonna want to pause real quick and then scroll your mouse across the bottom so I can see the timestamp Yeah, keep going I talk about the lightning first keep going keep going keep going We just want to find a boot.
Yeah, go back a little bit.
Yeah, right there.
Now go full screen.
Where is this?
This is off the coast of Canada.
The coast of Canada?
I forget, actually.
I just did a video on this.
In the Atlantic?
But look.
So watch.
So that's the first wave of the set.
Oh, shit.
Watch this next one.
That was a long swell.
Oh shit, the bottom's falling out.
Literally off the chart.
Imagine you're out on a boat out there, like a fishing boat or something, and that rogue wave just shows up.
Bro, if the swells are that big, you do not want to be out there.
That was the biggest rogue wave ever captured.
Really?
By a buoy, yeah.
That's insane.
I thought that was worth doing.
Imagine Jay-Lee out there.
See, I like doing rogue wave hits.
I like making videos about stuff that's fascinating to me.
I saw that.
I was like, this is insane.
And then I saw the lightning, like the biggest lightning strike that's ever been captured yeah, recorded.
It was like last week too.
I was like damn, these both happened within, you know, not very far of each other.
It's kind of crazy to think about.
That is crazy.
Lightning is insane.
What kind of hurricane season we're gonna have?
I don't know, like charging, last year's hurricane season was nuts.
Last year was probably the most consistent surf i've ever seen.
We had a hurricane every week, dude.
I surfed probably like 60 or 70 days where it was like above waist high and glassy.
I'm pretty sure there was like nine or ten days in a row that I was surfing every single day outside of 25th, because there was just always waves.
I see.
Like one storm, another storm.
Like storms were sitting out there for like an entire week.
It would take a week to cross the Gulf.
We were just getting so much swell.
Does that wave still break like that?
I got so broke last year.
Does that wave still break on 25th, that like peeling left-hander?
No, no.
Unfortunately.
Where they dredged it?
No, that was done after that first swell.
Dude, that was unreal.
Tell you what, though.
You know what is going to be absolutely off the charts?
Is up channel three the other side of sand key mm-hmm They're dredging the whole inside of the pass right there.
They're probably a ton of sand and it's gonna make really gnarly sandbar out there And I think the surf there is gonna be nuts That'll be fine.
I've been surfing there for fucking 15 years.
So yeah, I've never I think hardly ever see anyone surf there ever so if people start surfing there, you know I'll just drop in on them just roll right into shepherds Yeah, that place is like legendary for being like a famous skimboarding spot, right?
Yeah, but the surf It's kind of, yeah, it's there.
I've never seen it like that big though, but like the biggest I've seen is like way far.
I've gotten shacked there.
I've seen it like head high, but out past the Opal Sands.
Okay.
Favorite hotel in Clearwater, by the way.
The Opal Sands?
Even more than the Sand Pearl?
I finally got arrested for the channel too, Danny.
Dream States and Surfing00:15:10
We have that in common now.
Oh, my God.
Hell yeah.
Oh, I was arrested before you were on your YouTube channel.
Yeah, you were the first one to go to jail.
Oh, yeah.
That was hilarious.
Yeah.
That was the last time I was in jail.
That was great.
Was it the first time?
No, it wasn't the first time.
But that was the most recent time.
Damn.
Yeah, I still got community service.
It's no fun.
I got to probably get done.
For the Holly Boom?
I wanted to ask you about your lucid dreams.
What happened?
Not in focus?
Oh, fuck.
Beautiful as ever.
How'd you get into lucid dreams?
And how does that whole thing work?
I don't know how I got into lucid dreams.
I think I just read something online that talked about conscious dreaming, just the concept of being awake in your dreams.
And I was a teenager at the time.
Like, I'd never even, like, I've dreamed my whole life.
Like, and from a very young age, I was writing down my dreams because they were just so crazy.
I had to go on crazy adventures.
And somebody told me when I was really young that if I write down all my dreams and I fill up a journal, I'll have a really cool book of all my dreams someday.
And I was like, oh, that sounds cool.
So.
I would do that and then I became aware of the concept or the perspective of being awake while dreaming and it just completely blew my mind.
I was like, what?
You can be conscious while being asleep?
And it just kind of shook me in a weird way and I started researching it more and I started looking into performing reality checks, which is where you ask yourself if you're dreaming when you're not dreaming.
So right now I'd be like, am I dreaming?
I don't think so.
Another good thing to do is to ask yourself how you got here.
Because typically in a dream, you don't remember arriving there, you're kind of just like thrown into a situation.
So, I do that, and I would do that like several times a day.
I would even take a sharpie and put like a mark on my hand.
And every time I saw the mark, I would do a reality check, like set alarms on my phone, and like several times a day just question reality, just contemplate if anything looks weird.
And when you're dreaming, if you ask yourself if you're dreaming, or if you ask yourself how you got somewhere, or if it seems weird.
It'll just be different.
Like, how did I get here?
Like, I have no fucking idea how I got here.
And that's like kind of a trigger.
Like, didn't you realize you just questioned reality enough?
And then I would, while I was sleeping, I would ask myself if I was dreaming.
I'd realize I was dreaming.
I'd get really excited.
And the first time that I ever became lucid, I got so excited that I just like watched the dream just like deteriorate.
Like, the floor of the dream fell out.
And I just like woke up in my bed and I was like, whoa.
And I learned online that you have to learn to stay calm and stay focused because if you get too excited, you just.
Going to wake yourself up.
Really?
And I just started exploring, going deeper and deeper into what was possible in my dreams.
And I created like a bucket list for dreaming.
There's like things that I wanted to do, and there's things that I still want to do.
And one of the things was I wanted to be able to make objects change with my hands or with my thoughts.
And I was in a dream.
I still vividly remember this.
And a car was driving by, and I knew I was dreaming.
And I was like, And I went like that, and the car flipped and like crashed and exploded.
It was so loud and it was so gnarly.
And it was like, I don't know.
When you're dreaming and you're lucid dreaming, you're actually there.
It's not any different than what we're doing right now, except for the only limits in your dreams are the limits that you create in your head.
So one of the other big goals that I had was to fly.
I really wanted to fly in my dream.
But if I stand up right now and I try to fly off the ground, it's not going to work.
And I will never be able to convince myself that it's possible because it's not.
But like.
If you, while you're dreaming, can just take something that's impossible and know that it's possible, if you can convince yourself that you can fly in your dream, it's weird.
Half the time I can, and half the time I can't.
Like, half the time I'll be light and I'll feel less weight, but I'll jump and I'll kind of like moon jump.
Like, I won't actually fly.
But, like, there's just some times where I just have the free perspective that I can just see myself floating and I just feel weightless.
Like, it's a hard perspective to acquire.
To allow yourself to be okay with like yourself flying like it's just, it's like, because it's not something people think about.
Yeah, you don't like, like I can't fly like, people don't fly like.
If you can like, if you can purely see it in your head and you can see yourself flying when you're dreaming, just start flying.
I would just fly around and just like.
It's the most free, like craziest feeling ever.
But you know, what's cooler than flying is breathing underwater.
That is the craziest lucid dreaming experience i've ever had in my entire life Is knowing that I'm dreaming and swimming underwater and knowing that.
You can't drown surfing matters.
You can't drown.
Exactly.
I've made waves come out of the ocean.
I've surfed the biggest waves that I've ever seen while lucid.
I'll get into more stuff that I've done in my dreams that kind of relate back to reality in a second.
But, God, it's just, it's absolutely mind blowing.
So is it like you, when you're awake, you make it a habit of asking yourself if you're dreaming so that it becomes such a habit?
So it's a contemplate dream perspective.
Like what like how you You just have to see yourself lucid dreaming you have to see yourself in a dream consciously aware that you're dreaming you have to create that perspective in your head like I am a firm believer that like us as humans like our minds are capable of things that like people can't even comprehend like I think that like everyone's like kind of connected and like I don't know you can feel people's energy like it's like when you know what somebody's gonna say before they say it.
It's just like an intuitive thing Oh man, just the whole topic.
I kind of have been off of it for a little while, but I still dream all, like every single night I have crazy dreams.
Most of the time they're just dreams that I like thoroughly enjoy.
I haven't been lucid as much lately, but one of the ways that I have been becoming lucid is by having nightmares because if something terrible is happening in a dream, like super terrible, I question reality and I realize when something horrible, like if somebody's holding a gun or like you have just crazy nightmares, you know, people have nightmares.
Always go lucid because I always realize that it's a dream.
I've actually had dreams where people are chasing me with guns.
It's like the scariest situation you can ever imagine because you're about to die or so you think.
And it's like, wait, this is a dream.
This isn't actually happening.
Turn around, guy with the gun, take the gun from him.
He goes, here you go.
It's your dream now.
I just start flying, start doing whatever I want.
But what's crazy about dreams is it's really hard to take information from reality into the dream world.
Most of the time, like dreams are. emotions and perspectives and situations, you know?
Like a dream doesn't have to be a place and it doesn't have to be a conversation.
It can be a feeling, you know?
Like, you have dreams that are scary.
You have dreams that are, like, about love.
You have dreams that are happiness.
You have dreams that are, like, about fear.
Like, there's a whole bunch of different types of, like, dreams.
Like, I said, it doesn't have to be a place or a conversation.
It can be just, like, strictly a feeling.
And it can almost always be equated to something that happened to you in real life.
Like, I've had dreams where, like, there was a dream.
I was at Gasparilla and some lady, like, Fell off the side of one of the drawbridges.
She was like trying to climb down and she fell and like we had all these people like helping lift her up and then like a couple It was either the next night or a couple nights later I like had another dream that it was like a similar situation where I was like helping somebody like out of some like place but when I thought about at Gasparilla and when I thought about it in the dream it was like the same exact situation So like you ever hear somebody say sleep on it It's like yeah, well if you don't if you haven't made your mind up on this You should probably just sleep on it.
Because your brain goes through everything that happened the day before while you're asleep.
Your mind is subconsciously processing every conversation, every interaction, everything that happened to you that day.
So if you surf all day, you're probably going to have dreams about surfing.
If you golf all day, you'll probably I've slept better than I've ever slept in my life.
Yeah, sometimes when you get too exhausted too, you won't have as vivid of dreams because you're so deep and you're subconscious.
But, oh man, I could talk about dreaming forever.
That's one of the most fascinating things ever.
I was talking about breathing underwater.
I was.
There's like this bridge right and on each side of the bridge there's like crystal clear, like streams, and it's almost like it's like a giant, like concrete structure, but it's like indoor and outdoor.
It's not like I'm inside of a place.
It's like I'm inside of like a old structure on the side of a river, like in a jungle somewhere, and there's these crystal clear streams and there's all these underwater caves and like all the caves are like well lit and like when you swim down in a cave it opens up to this giant room and there's all these fish and everything.
And I'm lucid and I jump in the water And I like, you know, you get that tightness feeling in your chest.
I was just like, this is a dream.
I like, there's nothing that can hurt me here.
I can swim underwater and I should be able to be relieved.
Like, because I've had dreams where I'm breathing underwater, but I just feel myself breathing in my bed.
It's like not like I'm actually breathing in the dream.
I can feel like myself laying in my bed and I feel myself like breathing in reality, but like I'm holding my breath in the dream, but I'm still like feeling my chest being relieved.
And then there's other lucid dreams where I'm in the water and I know that I'm dreaming and I open my mouth and I like breathe in water and I feel like the cold water fill up my lungs and it relieves me.
Like I don't choke, like I feel relieved and I'm just like breathing in this.
It's like it goes from being like heavy, thick water to like it feels like cold air almost, you know?
But like perspectives in your dreams can shift so quickly because like it is an imprint of your subconscious mind.
It's not actually like a real place.
What's crazy about lucid dreaming is you have to maintain your focus on the fact that you're lucid, or else you'll get distracted and you'll snap back into a dream.
Like, I never ever remember a lucid dream ending, I just continue dreaming, you know, unless I wake up.
But, like, it's oh man, it's interesting.
It's like it's so sick, it's so gnarly.
Like, I think it's something everyone should take some time and learn about because it has absolutely changed my life.
Like, in a small way, would be.
I was lucid at IRB skate park.
In my dream, I knew that it was a dream, and I'm at the skate park.
I suck at going front side on the rail.
I'd never done front side 50 50s before.
I was like, oh, I'm dreaming.
I can't get hurt.
Drop in, grind across the whole thing, do it a couple times, start skating, start shredding.
I woke up and I was like, damn, that was so easy.
Went straight to the skate park, dropped in, 50 50 grind front side, first try.
I'd never done it before, besides in my dream, but the dream gave me the confidence that I needed and the perspective.
To where, like, I went in person and did it, like, unimaginably better than I would have if I didn't have that dream.
Like, it wasn't even a question that the dream helped me.
Like, the dream is the reason why I landed that trick.
And there's a lot, all of the most, like, the smartest minds, like Nikola Tesla and Albert Einstein and Neil deGrasse Tyson, like, they're all lucid dreamers.
They all talk to each other.
Really?
Do they really?
Yeah, look up, like, Albert Einstein.
Look up, uh, look up famous lucid dreamers on Google, maybe.
Okay.
There'll be a list of people that.
Might pop up.
Yeah, first one is like Tim Dillon and Alex Bill Clinton oh crazy, oh man.
Salvador Dali yeah, Christopher Nolan, Leonardo Di Caprio, Stephen King, Leonardo Di Caprio that's why i'm telling you a lot of that sounds just like that Inception.
Inception is about lucid.
That's what it is a movie about.
It's the same way.
And after you have this conversation like, rewatch that movie and think about being lucid.
It's like a dream inside a dream.
Stephen King, I can't I gotta discredit him because he wrote his best books While he was doing mountains of cocaine at the same time, why would that discredit him?
I don't know.
That's extra credit.
Extra credit.
Because he wasn't sleeping.
That's why.
It's fascinating.
It's absolutely fascinating to me.
And it's like, I don't know.
People limit themselves.
Like, we're on a rock orbiting around a fireball in infinite space, and people want to limit themselves to, oh, I can't do this.
I can't do that.
It's like, yo, last night I was breathing underwater, flying in.
Making mountains come out of the ocean inside my mind.
Like, I've had such vivid dreams all night.
Like, I had a string of lucid dreams one night, and I was like downhill longboarding, and I was surfing, and I was like doing all this crazy shit.
What seemed like a six hour adventure.
Like, I was like, my mind was conscious the whole entire night.
And then I woke up, and it had seemed like the day before that night, and the next day was all one timeline.
And I, like, started feeling like my potential was infinite because, like, my mind never rested.
And I was going on these, like, I'll wake up in the morning sometimes just, like, absolutely pumped and stoked because I had the sickest dreams ever.
And, like, I don't know, like, that feeling of flying, like, and breathing underwater and doing all these incredible things, like, that makes you feel like, I don't know, like, you've taken over the world, like, you're invincible.
Like, it's, it's, yeah.
it kind of makes me speechless.
It's just the craziest shit that you can ever imagine.
Like it's Possible inside your own head, while you're supposedly like resting.
Have you ever had, I'm sure you have, like out of body experiences?
That's like, that's it.
You're not, you're there, but you're not there.
You know, it's like, it makes, it just like changes reality for you.
Have you ever had been in a situation where you had your life flash before your eyes?
Yeah, like a lot of times.
I have like a top 10 near death experience video on YouTube.
Near Death Lightning Moments00:13:10
Do you really?
Yeah.
Dude, that is the craziest thing.
Ever.
Lightning.
Lightning is one of the gnarliest.
Probably the.
Yeah, I think I'd never thought that I was dead more than when lightning struck really close to me.
It's happened to me twice.
It's a weird thing.
It's a weird, like, dream state you go into.
I've done it mostly, like, drowning, like, when I think I'm going to drown.
Like, I've done it when I've been freediving through, like, underwater caves.
Like, one time, the first time it happened to me, I was freediving through an underwater cave, and I couldn't find the exit.
And I was swimming as fast as I fucking could, and there was no exit, and I was, like, 20 feet underwater.
And I'm just like, I'm dead.
I'm probably going to die here.
And, like, my whole life flashed from my eyes.
Everything that happened in my life from as far back as I can remember.
And that's like, that was super weird.
You ever done DMT?
Never done DMT.
We should do it on the podcast.
Have you?
Yeah.
We should do it.
I'd be down.
Shane knows where to get it.
No, he doesn't.
Who's listening to that?
But yeah, when you're lifelike.
No, I'd like to try it, though.
How many times has that happened to you, would you say?
I don't know.
I have no idea.
A lot.
Many.
Drowning?
Drowning?
In the ocean?
No, I've never.
Never thought I was going to drown.
No.
I've gotten, I mean, I've gotten to where I was like, oh shit, like if I get a little bit more fucked up, I might be to the point to where I'm like, I might drown.
I've gotten winded in the ocean before, but I've never like genuinely been scared that I've genuinely been scared that I was going to drown.
I've such like, I feel so at peace in the ocean.
I've gotten my ass kicked by such massive waves in Cabo.
I feel like I've gotten really fortunate.
I've gotten absolutely beaten, but definitely saved a lot of people from drowning.
Never had to get saved.
So that's good.
Keep up that streak.
That is good.
The last Cabo trip, man, we saved like eight different people.
That would have been really terrible situations if we weren't there.
Yeah.
Insane.
What is that one right hand point break in Mexico?
Zippers.
No.
What the fuck is it called?
There's like a surf camp right there, and it's like right on this massive cliff.
Cerritos?
I don't know.
Couldn't tell you.
Oh, Scorpion Bay.
No.
I can't remember what it's called right now.
Are you sure?
I think it's Scorpion Bay.
I don't think it's Scorpion Bay.
Where's my skeleton?
No, no, Skeleton Bay is the other one.
No, that's Africa.
Yeah, that's Africa.
Pirate's Cove.
Scorpion Bay.
Smuggler's Cove.
What the fuck's it called?
Hold on.
It's Scorpion Bay.
This is where we gotta go, bro.
Is there a bathroom in here?
Yeah, yeah, right out there to the right out that door to the left.
First place on the left.
We're back.
Barra de la Cruz.
This is the place I want to fucking go next.
Who is this?
The most perfect fucking rights ever.
Oh my god, let's go.
I'll go with you.
And there's a bunch of sick little spots to stay, like right on this beach.
Do a lot of people surf there?
Um, not a ton, no.
It's pretty kind of isolated, but they have surf camps that go there.
People that only fly there, it's kind of like.
I don't think there's a big crowd there typically.
Is this one that barrels up on the inside really heavy?
Yes.
Really heavy.
One guy died there a couple years ago.
Yeah.
How?
Lana broke his neck so bad that he fucking died.
He got paralyzed when he hit the this guy was a pro, like a fucking legit pro.
And he hit his head and broke his neck and he was paralyzed and he drowned.
Damn.
But this is the most perfect fucking right ever.
I am a regular footage, so I'm down.
Yeah, surfing too, man.
I think Jamie O'Brien made a video at this place, at this spot on his channel.
I'm so happy to be back on a surfboard.
I'm sponsored by Rusty now.
Are you?
Really?
Yeah.
That's cool.
Look at the Rusty hookup.
That's awesome.
Do they still make surfboards?
Oh, yeah.
Find on a map, find Barra de la Cruz and find it on a map.
Let's find out how far it is.
I love Google Earth.
I use Google Earth.
I know, I know.
It's the best.
Especially for finding surf spots.
There's just so much, I don't know.
I was looking at all the volcanoes like oh, yeah, just gone volcano hopping on Google Earth like gotten lost and like gone and like you ever just like check out Florida like all the different parts of Florida like I don't know I kind of want to make videos on my YouTube channel like going on a tour of Florida with yeah on Google Earth That'd be sick.
That would be dope dude.
I found like the best cliff jumping spots.
I found 70 foot cliffs in Florida really that would exist.
Yeah, dude.
There's a we could make about a hundred documentaries driving through the Everglades.
There's so much weird shit so many like weirdos.
There's a Guy who has a lodge and he's dedicated to hunting the skunk ape.
Oh, I know.
I've been to that guy's museum.
Yeah, I made a video about it.
Wacko, yeah, he sells t shirts.
Yeah, I catch all the drops.
Skunk ape sounds like an NFT.
He's the boy, all right.
So that's where that's where Barra de la Cruz is, dude.
I heard there is a million point breaks.
On the Mexican Peninsula.
Whoa Austin, what the are you doing, yo?
Google Earth is drunk as hell.
Hit the hit the compass, hit the compass, it's flat.
Oh no, the earth's flat.
There you go.
Okay, so how far are we from Cabo?
Cabo, Cabo is there.
It is lands that oh, it's not far we can go.
So dude, come to Cabo.
Where is Cabo?
Okay, oh no, Cabo is all the way down.
No no, zoom out.
Cabo is the very, very bottom right yeah yeah, all the way at the bottom.
No, you gotta zoom out farther, Austin.
No, that's yeah, it's up Cabo's way up there.
Oh Cabo's the very end of that peninsula up there.
Just keep going keep going Cabo's in oh, it's that peninsula.
Okay.
Okay.
Zoom all the way in.
I'll show you the hotel I'm staying in Yep, keep going that little tip that little point.
Yeah Nope, that's not it.
Oh, yeah, it is.
Yeah, it is.
Sorry.
It just looks weird.
We're at a weird angle keep zooming in Go down a little bit.
Yeah, that hotel right there Below the mouse.
Place looks like a fucking desert, huh?
Yeah, it's so sick.
Keep going down and zoom out a little bit.
Yeah, that's the Solmar.
That's where I'm going to be staying.
Yeah, look at those rocks right there, dude.
The skim.
I've seen those videos.
It goes from like 12,000 feet deep to just like shore right there.
Like the mountains meet the ocean and there's somehow a beach.
Like that beach right there is the most beautiful beach I've ever seen in my entire life.
Type in Lover's Beach on Google and just click on a picture.
It's insane.
Leave the maps up, open a new tab so we can go back to the maps after.
No, no, don't close that tab.
Open up a new tab.
That doesn't work.
There you go.
Now we can go back to the Google Maps and not have to fuck around.
Yeah, Lover's Beach.
Crazy beach.
It's absolutely.
Isn't that it right there?
Yeah, that's it.
He's looking for actual photos, right?
Yeah, yeah.
Look at that on the right.
Yeah, I mean, you can kind of get the picture.
Oh, that's sick.
It's absolutely insane.
Yeah, there's Arch Beach.
10 out of 10 would recommend visiting that place at some point in your life.
Is there any good surf spots there?
Is it all like skimboarding?
Zippers is right there.
Yeah.
I mean, Jamie O'Brien came out one year and charged the shore break with us.
It was pretty good.
Did he on the surfboard?
Yep.
But yeah, we got to go to Bar de la Cruz, bro.
Places.
Yeah, last year when I went to Cabo, I probably made my favorite skimboarding wave edit of my entire life.
Really?
Fucking 12 foot maxing Cabo.
The biggest waves I've ever seen in my life.
Jeez.
It was so much fun.
Got some beat downs that year.
I'm ready.
When's the next trip?
May.
May.
I'm sponsoring the contest.
Turner's sponsoring the contest.
Apex is sponsoring it.
I'm going to try to get a pretty big pro purse.
You're doing like a legit contest there?
Yeah.
It's the first time since before COVID.
It's been three years since there's a contest there.
Yeah, and I consider it the gnarliest contest of the year because it's like nowhere is gnarlier than Cabo for Shore Break.
It's just heavy as shit.
Even more than the wedge?
Wedge is pussy.
What?
You skimmed the wedge?
Yes.
Wedge.
Big wedge?
Yes.
Where's the video?
Let me see this thing.
That's in the archives.
You're no Brad Domke, okay?
Dude.
Oh, the wedge can't hold a.
Click a.
The wedge is fucking terrible.
Type in, I made a.
No.
Type in, I made a deadly mistake.
Well, there's no rocks there.
That's the one thing that's not scary about the wedge.
It's just not as powerful.
The wedge is more like fluttery and more like it's less thick.
Really?
Yeah.
And you get stuck in the water at Cabo.
At least at the wedge, you get washed up.
On the beach, yeah, and Cabo, you get stuck.
Oh, it's got to be on YouTube.
What do you mean?
How do you get stuck?
Because you just can't get in, you get stuck in the wash.
Um, huh?
Type in, I've been a demo, it's like juke squad, yeah.
I really thought that'd come up.
This video went pretty viral, shadow banned, bro, right?
What's going on?
YouTube's clapping me.
There are scary mistakes, sorry.
I love, like, dude, Mexico.
I just go above and beyond to make the highest quality content possible every year, you know?
So you can skip in, probably.
Yeah, it was fucking huge, dude.
That thing was gutted.
What is that, like, waveform?
You can let it play for a second.
There's actually some really good clips.
Like, that's what I'm talking about, you know?
We do everything we can to make sure that the.
Cabo content is top tier.
I lug like 50 pounds worth of camera gear and batteries and tripods and drones out there every single year.
Yeah, look at that.
Getting smoked.
That's gotta be so fun just body surfing those waves.
Yeah.
Or boogie boarding them.
Oh my god, I would be there.
I would be loving that with a boogie board.
Dude, body whomping some of the most fun shit ever.
Just going out there and swimming.
Yeah, actually, I made a full video about that when it was the biggest I've ever seen.
I can show you some clips of that in a second.
I'd sponge it.
I would sponge the shit out of that wave.
Dude, it's gnarly.
Yeah, you can skip in a little bit.
I'm not sure exactly where.
I haven't watched this video in a while, but yeah, keep going.
Go to where the big spike is.
Right there.
Keep going.
Oh, yeah, the big spike.
Yeah.
Damn, it's crazy to have the retention there, huh?
That's weird, isn't it?
I've never even seen that.
Go to the spikes there.
Oh, that's the ass.
Go later in the video to the other spikes.
Yeah, it's like right there.
You had a good combo of big waves and ass.
Right there, yeah, click there right there.
Oh, you're trying to catch the cider.
Yeah, into just.
Is there a pretty good little sidewash wave there?
It's the gnarliest one that exists.
Is it?
Yeah, it's so, so gnarly.
Yeah, and this is where I get stuck on the outside.
So, there is a huge impending swell.
Like, it'll be chill for a little bit.
And here, turn the volume up.
Actually, you'll hear my friend start whistling.
Yeah, my buddy's up on the cliff yelling at me, telling me not to come in.
Because I didn't know whether I should come in or not.
Yeah.
Yeah, look at this shit.
This wave is so much gnarlier than a wave at the wedge, though.
Like, it's just so much.
NFT Shark Tooth Sanctuary00:04:08
Look at that thing.
Look at how heavy that is.
Oh, yeah, it just sucks up and closes out.
Yeah, look at where I am.
Yeah.
How deep is it right there?
Like four feet.
Yeah, but it was like a night.
I was stuck down.
That's boogie board heaven right there.
Look at that, mate.
That's just death, dude.
Just slam.
I got one of the best waves in my life.
That would be so fun.
It is so fun.
Pulling my arms right off.
Yeah.
Like, okay.
Combo, bro.
Gotta go.
Oh, my God.
That looks so fun.
That looks amazing.
Yeah, it looks sick.
Well, I think we hit a wall.
That was like two hours?
Two hours.
Boom baby metaverse baby Yeah lucid dreaming everyone should try it lucid dreaming the best thing you could get out of this video and the shark's teeth.
Yeah Well, that's more to come.
Yeah.
Yeah, if you want to come hunt for shark's teeth just wait till we buy so you guys are gonna you guys are gonna buy a shit little land and open up a shark's tooth sanctuary or yeah, we already got a tractor lined up because the main thing for for that is we have to make sure the land has teeth on it So we're like hey if we're gonna buy this land you gotta let us come dig a hole We've got to bring a tractor out to the 10, 20, however many acres it is and pop a hole in the ground and check the fossil layer and the deposit and see how it looks.
And I also have an NFT that I'm trying to release soon that is going to be 500 unique shark's teeth, 270 of which are megalodons and makos.
And if you buy the NFT, the NFT that you get, the tooth that is the NFT, well, it's going to be unrevealed, so you're going to have to buy in before you get to see what your tooth is.
But the tooth that you buy is a tooth that we're going to have shipped to you in person.
And the collection is like, I don't know.
There's at least $50,000 worth of shark's teeth in this collection.
Like I'm letting go of some of the nicest teeth that I have for the collection because I want to buy land and use the money to buy land.
But not only do you get the tooth that you buy for the NFT, the NFT is your ticket to come and hunt on a property that we're going to buy using the money from the NFT project.
Ooh, that's a sick idea.
Yeah, so it's your ticket to come.
Like not only do you get a tooth, you have the opportunity to come find.
That's a super sick idea.
Yeah.
I fucking love that.
So I've been working on that for a couple months.
I already have all the pictures taken, all the teeth separated.
I have a developer working on the website.
You got the Discord and everything set up.
But, you know, 98% of the projects out there right now are dog shit.
You know, like most NFTs have no use whatsoever.
They're just cash grabs.
So, you know, contemplating the space and being in cryptocurrency since 2017, which is essentially the exact same thing as NFTs.
It's just NFTs have.
A picture.
There's the whole art aspect and the profile picture aspect of it.
I just never wanted to promote or be a part of a project that I didn't think was genuinely dope.
So when I came up with the shark's tooth one, I was like, yeah, this is a good way to get people involved.
We can give people a piece of history, allow them to help us preserve history, and even come and find some history yourself if you want.
So it's just like everyone I've talked to about it is like, yeah, that sounds fucking awesome.
It's a rad idea.
Even if you don't want to buy the NFT, you should root for this project because otherwise a neighborhood is going to get built there and all the fossils that are there are going to get destroyed.
There is no fossil conservation whatsoever going on in Florida, yet they're allowing mosaic to rip apart hundreds of thousands of acres, and we can't go hunt for fossils on the spoil piles there because it's a liability.
So it's just like the whole space, I don't know.
They're contributing to the death of Florida.
They're destroying fossils.
They're not letting us hunt for fossils.
So we're just like, hey, you want to support us?
We're going to buy some acres and you can come hang out with us too.
So, like, I don't know, starting small.
And ideally, we'd like to open fossil farms between here all the way up to South Carolina to where people can keep doing it.
Because I think that a lot of people are going to want to come and do this once we open these places.
Hell yeah, they would.
That's a fucking great idea.
Now, where do people find that?
Excavating Florida Fossils00:01:36
Are you going to post on your YouTube channel?
I'll put it on my socials.
Yeah, yeah.
Like I said, like, I'm not trying to do this to make a bunch of money.
I'm one of the only projects that's actually going to use the money to do something cool.
Like, you're going to be able to see us buy the land and first strike ground and start excavating and whatnot.
Yeah, I don't know.
Everybody's out here just trying to.
You should just make it a pump and dump.
Yeah, that'd be super tight, right?
Yeah, make a fuckload of money on the shark's teeth.
At least people get the shark's teeth, so it won't be super ripped off.
Hey, you know?
Honestly, I'm not worried about the use case afterwards.
I feel like that's just a bonus.
I feel like.
Like over time people who want to come hunt are gonna buy up from people that just wanted the teeth, you know, because obviously once when we release the project people are gonna buy it just to get the teeth and then immediately gonna try to sell off the NFT Because they have no interest in finding the teeth, but I think it'll be really cool.
I'm excited about it and I want to take my time and make sure everything's in perfect order before we release it to the public to make sure you know everything works properly and It is what it is see what happens fuck yeah, yeah Cool, bro.
