00:00:23.500 in between. So listen to Out of Character on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you

00:00:29.980 Hey, what's up?

00:00:31.680 And I'm October Gonzalez.

00:00:33.080 But you can call me Toby.

00:00:34.140 We want you to join us on our new podcast, No Safe Words with October and Tony Gonzalez.

00:00:38.960 We get real about marriage, parenthood, sex, divorce, and all the nitty gritty stuff we all think about.

00:00:45.140 But just don't say out loud.

00:00:46.220 You're probably just going to be some rich guy and he's going to whisk you away.

00:00:49.900 Listen to No Safe Words with October and Tony Gonzalez on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

00:00:58.520 I'm Mimi Brown, and every day on Front Page Podcast,

00:01:02.400 I help you make sense of the stories shaping our world.

00:01:05.460 Each day, I break down the biggest headlines.

00:01:08.300 Canada's trade fight with the U.S. just escalated again,

00:01:11.520 and Americans could fill it in their wallets.

00:01:14.200 And when a story deserves a deeper conversation,

00:01:16.940 I'll sit down with experts, newsmakers, and thought leaders

00:01:19.700 to help you better understand the issue behind the headlines.

00:01:22.820 Listen to Front Page from the Black Effect Podcast Network

00:01:25.780 on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

00:01:30.760 I'm Keri Champion, and in this new season of Biggest Rivalries of All Time podcast,

00:01:36.520 we take you back to the very first rivalry of the WNBA.

00:01:40.600 The Comets were the real deal. I mean, come on.

00:01:43.020 The Liberty was just tough. Oh, God.

00:01:45.620 The New York Liberty versus the Houston Comets.

00:01:48.160 When we hit the floor, it was hot, heated fights, elbows, competition, trash talking.

00:01:53.980 Who is the better team?

00:01:55.780 People lie, but numbers don't.

00:01:57.780 Listen to biggest rivalries of all time on the iHeartRadio app,

00:02:01.560 Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

00:02:06.760 It was Christmas morning, and I was like, I'm 77 miles away.

00:02:09.940 It should probably be three or four days or something like that.

00:02:12.360 And then all of a sudden, I just clicked into this flow state in my brain

00:02:15.120 where just everything felt strong and powerful.

00:02:17.460 And I decided, you know what?

00:02:18.800 I'm going to see if I can go without stopping completely to the end.

00:02:21.720 The sun never sets here.

00:02:22.800 And so I did the last final 77 miles in this 32-hour flow state push in my body.

00:02:34.920 You should do an intro like Rogan.

00:02:37.240 Four, three, two, one.

00:02:39.800 No, he doesn't say one.

00:02:40.880 And we're live.

00:06:11.780 that people were crying

00:06:12.860 multiple times.

00:06:18.440 The girl next to me

00:06:19.320 that did the recording

00:06:20.560 for the soundboard,

00:06:21.300 she was blubbering

00:06:21.940 like a little seal.

00:06:23.300 I almost teared up.

00:06:25.580 I didn't want to look at it.

00:06:26.860 I was embarrassed

00:06:27.420 for myself and her, dude.

00:06:29.620 I almost teared up,

00:06:30.700 but I can't say

00:06:31.680 the part that I almost

00:06:33.340 teared up at.

00:06:33.840 I don't want to spoil anything.

00:06:34.940 People are posting spoilers

00:06:36.000 without context on Twitter.

00:06:38.040 Yeah, it's rough.

00:06:38.460 It's like a thing right now.

00:06:39.200 Thor's fat.

00:06:40.520 I don't think you'd say

00:06:41.080 that's a spoiler.

00:06:41.780 sorry we're doing a video vlog this week about about the avengers and uh yeah so so we're all

00:06:48.540 gonna dress up as the avengers mike's gonna be the hulk you can see the resemblance i'm gonna

00:06:52.180 paint him green i got a question um i was i was out this weekend i was doing my thing i was talking

00:06:57.340 to a bartender and i noticed some like immediately immediately i'm attracted to her this happens

00:07:04.460 often with bartenders and and server server people oh chicks servants are we extra attracted 1.00

00:07:11.840 to bartenders and servers like waitresses i feel like a lot of them first off are hired 0.59

00:07:17.720 when they're very attractive too like they're in that position they're they're there to especially

00:07:22.980 especially in la oh my god you're so right you just got baited dog oh my god you bit the hook

00:07:29.640 well also think about it think about the stage of life you're in most times when you see a

00:07:33.960 bartender of course the more attractive you don't even know your name you don't know where you are

00:07:37.720 what's happening for sure they're beautiful wow this is a beautiful woman you're like

00:07:41.600 logan you are talking to a stuffed giraffe on this like they're just of course they're beautiful

00:07:46.920 you have beer goggles on dude no he's right is it there's actually um a reason for this

00:07:51.640 because i don't know you like you love bottle girls yeah i was just in vegas there's millions

00:07:57.340 of them of course they populate vegas um but there's actually a reason for this this is from

00:08:03.440 an expert her last name is goldstein and her first name is meredith uh she wrote she wrote

00:08:09.840 goldstein believes that a more current reason people get starry-eyed for their local drink

00:08:13.580 slingers because so many of us these days are star for in real life human interaction you might go a

00:08:18.100 whole day engaging with your own friends online it can be common to go long stretches of time

00:08:22.220 without someone smiling at you and asking you what you want the bar might be one of the few

00:08:26.660 places in life where we still have that kind of exchange someone who just cares about what you

00:08:31.080 want so what that tells me is we probably need to start replacing bartenders with like little

00:08:35.920 ipads because they're the one outlier right now and we need to we need to like get this to fall

00:08:40.360 we need to get rid of them like you walk up you hit like a thing on a pad and it just orders the

00:08:45.140 drink and it comes out of a little conveyor belt to you they have that at some restaurants really

00:08:49.820 yeah yeah it was i believe it was a fridays i was at i ordered uh the blooming onion was that

00:08:54.500 fridays no it's not out back out back blumen is bomb coconut shrimp too there fire hey should we 0.78

00:09:00.500 bring on our guest probably probably we bullshit a lot hey this guest is dope dude i'm i'm real

00:09:05.840 pumped for this one guys i want to bring him on he has climbed the highest mountain on every

00:09:11.220 continent on earth he's a professional triathlete and his insta bio says he's the first to cross

00:09:16.480 antarctica solo unsupported and unaided and when he's not traveling around the world as a

00:09:22.480 motivational speaker he's here on a pause for ladies and gentlemen it's colin o'brady

00:09:25.900 what up baby yo what's good what up you're a legend no i mean that i appreciate that man

00:09:36.780 of course bro of course you um when you cross antarctica solo what was it 54 days 54 days all

00:09:44.480 alone dragging a 375 pound sled with all my food and gear and everything yeah no resupplies no no

00:09:50.680 kites no dogs just mono we mono uh versus antarctica no one had ever completed that in

00:09:54.920 history before look at this look at this picture first off first off this is this is crazy who took

00:10:02.240 this picture that's actually me in greenland training for okay okay believe it or not that's

00:10:06.800 actually a smaller sled that's like 220 pounds my antarctica sled was almost twice that am i close

00:10:11.420 can you guide me to your antarctica setup let's see let's see uh scroll it back let's go back a

00:10:15.740 little bit there there there's it right there right here yeah that doesn't give the full the

00:10:20.140 full vastness of it who's taking these pictures me set it up on a tripod you know a thing or two

00:10:24.320 about blogging blogging yourself self-timer yeah so a lot of people on my instagram while they're

00:10:29.620 following along this project we're like yo but he's got a film crew out there he's doing that

00:10:33.400 i'm like no i'm taking my gloves off my ass off set it up and then walking past coming back to it

00:10:38.900 it's a whole thing good god i can imagine i've i've shot i'm from ohio and i've shot videos in

00:10:43.700 the cold like on vine we'd have to like press the hold with our thumb and it would be so cold

00:10:48.680 how did your fingers not fall off constantly like taking pictures with your phones or doing

00:10:53.280 anything the average temperature in antarctica is about minus 25 but when the wind kicks up it was

00:10:57.200 regularly minus 80 degree wind chill which would give you frostbite in about 15 20 seconds so

00:11:02.200 you're you're doing things quickly at the very least and keeping all the cameras inside against

00:11:07.160 the body uh to stay warm don't they make those gloves that you can interact with your screen

00:11:11.440 if you wear them.

00:11:12.540 That is like a thing, however...

00:11:14.400 You didn't have it.

00:11:15.380 Not with like the big, huge mitts.

00:11:17.260 They haven't had the Antarctica version of that developed yet.

00:11:20.040 And you got hand warmers in there?

00:11:21.540 No hand warmers, no,

00:11:22.720 because I had too much weight to carry in the sled.

00:11:24.840 So there was no resupplies the whole time.

00:11:26.500 So I had to take everything with me at the beginning.

00:11:29.200 And people have attempted this before.

00:11:30.760 A couple people have died trying.

00:11:32.180 Really?

00:11:32.460 And that's because people have run out of food

00:11:33.980 or run out of supplies or whatever,

00:11:35.300 not made it to the end or gotten sick.

00:11:37.460 And so, yeah, every extra, no extra anything.

00:11:39.260 I didn't even bring an extra pair of underwear. 0.87

00:11:40.600 so one pair of underwear 54 days you're lying you're lying god are you out of your mind

00:11:45.140 oh just bring an extra pair it's grimy man but you know i gotta keep the most the most food i

00:11:50.140 could get in the sled was uh was the difference and you can't call anyone right i had a sat phone

00:11:54.860 um so for emergencies and i did check in with my wife periodically she's uh she's amazing she's not

00:12:00.140 just a loving supportive partner but actually kind of dreams up these projects with me runs

00:12:04.000 everything in the background logistics and everything so i could connect with her um but

00:12:07.680 yeah i mean basically alone in silence the sun never sets in antarctica 24 hours no way um so

00:12:13.680 yeah it's a pretty pretty expansive white nothingness lost in your deep in your thoughts

00:12:17.780 did you get a break from your like husbandly duties while you're on this like she didn't say

00:12:22.560 like honey can you bring milk home when you come back uh yeah i think my life's not typically like

00:12:27.700 that anyways but uh yeah you got a good one but you know it was nice it was nice being out there

00:12:31.820 a little peaceful and calm all alone no one to tell you what to do not not particularly my wife

00:12:36.120 But just in general, the distractions of daily life, I was able to go a little deeper.

00:12:40.500 So it was nice in that way, but very lonely at times for sure.

00:12:43.480 This happens sometimes in my life.

00:12:45.220 You're one of the few people like I'm sitting across from you.

00:12:48.280 I don't even know like truly where to begin because this is wild.

00:12:52.380 You've also, again, like I said in the intro, you've climbed the highest mountain on every

00:12:55.800 continent on earth.

00:12:56.580 I believe you've summited, and by the way, faster than any human ever.

00:13:00.420 Correct.

00:13:00.780 Right?

00:13:01.000 139 days?

00:13:02.920 139 days.

00:13:03.640 What is it?

00:13:04.260 So it's called the Explorer's Grand Slam.

00:13:06.120 So I set the speed record for what's called the Seven Summits,

00:13:08.700 so climbing the tallest mountain in each of the seven continents,

00:13:10.560 as well as completing expeditions to both the North and South Pole.

00:13:13.700 That collectively is known as the Explorer's Grand Slam.

00:13:16.100 And fewer than 50 people in history had ever completed that.

00:13:19.580 And in 2016, I became the fastest by not taking any breaks in between mountains,

00:13:23.860 so 139 days straight through from the South Pole all the way to the summit of Everest,

00:13:27.680 Denali, Kilman, Jara, et cetera, back to back to back until it was done.

00:13:32.200 Can I ask you something, Colin?

00:13:33.480 are you out of your god forsaken mind oh my god oh i like that sound effect that's good

00:13:40.660 no seriously what are you thinking this is crazy it is it is you know for me uh you know i like

00:13:47.980 pushing my body i like finding the limits of human potential i've you know i've seen your

00:13:51.460 vlog a little bit i know you like to do crazy stuff this will takes it on a different different

00:13:54.660 level but really finding what it is inside of ourselves you know sometimes i think we have

00:13:58.120 limiting beliefs we tell each ourselves we can't we can't do this it's too hard or whatever and by

00:14:02.040 sort of pushing these edges of human potential. I like to find my edges, but also, um, to exemplify

00:14:07.060 that for other people who are daring to dream greatly. Have you found the edge? Have you found

00:14:11.600 your edge? Like, was there a point there where you're like, wow, I'm on any of your expeditions

00:14:16.700 where you were fearful for your own life? Yeah, absolutely. You know, I'm a, I'm a normal human

00:14:22.180 being in that way. You know, I go through the ups and downs, the struggles, uh, certainly, you know,

00:14:26.020 setting up your tent, 80 to 80 mile per hour winds. If I let go of the tent in Antarctica,

00:14:29.480 no extra tent boom that flies away i'm gone alone in the middle of nowhere but a lot of this for me

00:14:34.060 actually goes back about 11 12 years ago um i'm gonna make myself sound old uh here but i think

00:14:38.960 when i was more like your age no no how old are you how old do you think i am i'd say 26 early

00:14:43.740 30s 22 you want venture a guess he's gonna make a joke about me being old it's coming up what i'm

00:14:50.600 I'm 34, man.

00:14:51.480 Let's go.

00:14:53.360 Quality.

00:14:54.620 Quality age, dude. 0.99

00:14:55.920 Quality fucking age, dude. 0.99

00:14:57.460 So anyways, when I was 22, just after college, I was traveling around the world. 0.99

00:15:01.880 I had a backpack and a surfboard just bumming around.

00:15:03.940 No money, but just wanted to see the world hitchhiking around.

00:15:06.180 And I found myself on this rural beach in Thailand.

00:15:08.640 And I saw this flaming jump rope and thought that looked like a good idea.

00:15:12.060 So I jumped this flaming jump rope.

00:15:13.560 Wait, what do you mean you saw a flaming jump rope?

00:15:15.520 Have you been to Thailand?

00:15:16.580 No.

00:15:16.940 This is common in Thailand.

00:15:18.200 You got to get out of the boat.

00:15:19.080 laying around i completely made that up have you ever left the valley no i grew up here i won't

00:15:25.600 leave um no so yeah exactly it's common in thailand uh you know flames fire dancing etc

00:15:31.900 my 22 year old self looked like that looked like it was fun so you know big huge rope like when

00:15:36.320 you're a kid you know two people 20 foot rope i get underneath it i'm jumping it's double dutch

00:15:40.300 like double on fire exactly okay and uh you know you could imagine doing that i actually could i

00:15:45.600 It sounds like something I want to do.

00:15:47.240 Well, don't.

00:15:48.140 The rope wrapped around my legs and lit my body on fire completely to my neck.

00:15:51.420 Kerosene sprayed my body.

00:15:52.800 I jumped into the ocean, which extinguished the flames, which put out the fire,

00:15:56.200 but not before about 25% of my body was severely burned.

00:15:59.440 And I was in the middle of nowhere in Thailand, this small little island.

00:16:02.220 So there's no hospital, a moped ride down a dirt path to a run-room nursing station,

00:16:06.580 like the size of this little room right here.

00:16:08.420 Were you alone?

00:16:09.240 I had been traveling alone at the time.

00:16:11.080 I had just met up with a buddy of mine.

00:16:12.860 So he was there, but I was in this little hospital.

00:16:15.260 there's like eight surgeries

00:16:16.560 cat running around my bed

00:16:17.760 and across my chest

00:16:18.600 in the ICU

00:16:19.200 in this like makeshift hospital

00:16:20.500 and the doctors are like

00:16:21.260 look you'll never walk again normally

00:16:22.980 like the way you've burned your legs

00:16:24.520 you know

00:16:24.840 ankles

00:16:25.420 you know bones

00:16:26.160 everything

00:16:26.400 I think there actually might be

00:16:27.440 if you scroll way down

00:16:28.420 I actually saw it

00:16:29.280 I actually saw the picture

00:16:30.260 there's one up there 0.98

00:16:31.540 damn 0.99

00:16:32.800 yeah I have a serious problem 1.00

00:16:34.440 with these types of doctors

00:16:35.580 like why

00:16:36.040 scroll to the side

00:16:36.860 there we go

00:16:37.980 oh my god

00:16:39.120 okay

00:16:39.480 okay that makes sense

00:16:40.740 you don't have to leave that up there too long

00:16:41.920 if you don't want

00:16:42.520 but

00:16:42.980 oh my god

00:16:44.700 this is

00:16:45.260 disgusting i'm so sorry no this happened how do you stay positive in a situation like that like

00:16:50.180 you're bumming around you're traveling all over the world and you're in a hospital in thailand

00:16:55.540 like yeah i mean it was it was a dark moment for me you know logan's question about you know fear

00:17:01.020 and doubt you know that was certainly the depth of despair for me and i've been an athlete throughout

00:17:04.580 my life a collegiate swimmer um you know and being told you never walk in normally obviously

00:17:09.140 it's devastating no matter who you are um but in that moment really the the hero of this story is

00:17:14.140 my mother an incredible woman she is she flew all the way over to thailand found me basically and

00:17:18.100 she wrapped me up in all this positivity she was crying in the hallways with the doctors you know 0.99

00:17:22.200 pleading for good news but she came into my hospital room every day with a smile on her

00:17:26.000 face saying like colin like what do you want to do when you get out of here let's set a goal you

00:17:29.420 know really just trying to just uplift me and i guess you could appreciate that i heard in the

00:17:33.000 intro you're a bit of a triathlete so i've been a collegiate swimmer and i actually closed my eyes

00:17:37.360 one day i said you know what mom i'm gonna race a triathlon one day not something i'd ever done

00:17:41.080 before in my life, but I just kind of fixed my mind on this positive outcome. And so for the

00:17:45.860 next few months, I didn't even walk. I was in this wheelchair, carried on and off the plane in

00:17:49.340 Portland, Oregon, when I got home. And then my mom was like, look, you got to learn how to walk

00:17:53.340 again. So she put a chair one step in front of my wheelchair. And she said, you got to take your

00:17:56.400 first step today. So I took after three months of not walking, taking, you know, three hours to take

00:18:00.960 one step. And the next day I could take a few more steps the next step that. So long story short,

00:18:04.800 18 months later, learning how to walk again, just thinking in my mind, I'm going to race a

00:18:07.900 triathlon i'm gonna figure out how to do this um i signed up for the chicago triathlon and uh you

00:18:12.860 know finished the race and to my complete and utter surprise i hadn't just finished the race

00:18:16.520 but i actually won the entire triathlon beating about four or five thousand other people oh my

00:18:21.240 god um and that was kind of the beginning of all this of going like wow like as humans not just

00:18:25.340 myself but as humans we have these reservoirs of untapped potential inside of us achieve amazing

00:18:29.820 things like what else have i set my mind to can i go after and that's kind of been iterative and

00:18:33.960 being a professional triathlete and then going on to do these world records in the mountains in

00:18:37.440 Antarctica and et cetera, of just this constant exploration of those edges.

00:18:40.740 I really, uh, I really like what you said there about humans having reservoirs of untapped

00:18:44.780 potential. We had, uh, Charlie Rocket on our last podcast and he, he probably like you has the same

00:18:52.920 level of, uh, manifestation type of belief, but reservoirs of untapped potential. I really like

00:18:58.640 that because it's so true. I feel like people aren't pushing themselves to live, to live their

00:19:04.220 full life to the best that they can but why do you think that is um i i believe that the system

00:19:12.560 is is breeding people to conform and i don't think anything great happened by people conforming

00:19:22.260 i agree with that i also just feel like some people just don't want to like some people just

00:19:27.220 don't they just want to have fun like they want to just hang out watch movies like have a wife

00:19:32.160 do like do whatever totally like just chill out yeah but is that but is that because society tells

00:19:38.020 you like that's what i don't know life should look like no i don't know i don't know what the

00:19:41.440 what the subconscious reason is for it but i think like there are people out there who always like

00:19:46.300 type a people that will always strive to do the best they can overcome adversity like go drive

00:19:50.840 above and beyond and then there are some people that just want to you know hang out with their

00:19:55.760 friends crack some pbrs on the weekends get a couple burgers at shake shack i still like

00:20:00.420 cracking a few PBRs on the weekends as well. Of course, of course. But I mean, like, you know,

00:20:04.440 I guess, I guess at the end of the day, it's just different strokes for different folks.

00:20:07.200 Yeah, absolutely. But I do believe that, you know, there is, there is something in our society

00:20:10.860 around kind of finding the middle, finding comfort, just kind of just like you said, just,

00:20:14.580 you know, sit on the couch. And I think that a lot of that, at least for me, when I look back

00:20:17.880 on that burn accident, yes, it was a huge mistake in my life, but I learned so much from that failure

00:20:23.140 and that tragedy. But I think oftentimes when we face adversity, no matter who you are, we're

00:20:27.280 going to face hard times in life, right? Ups and downs. Like that's just the way it goes,

00:20:30.680 but it's how you react to that. It's that choice to say like, wow, I actually, when things come

00:20:34.980 bad my way, I get to choose how I move forward with this. And a lot of people get in that negative

00:20:39.100 fear loop in their mind and goes, you know what? I can't, I'm not worthy. I'm not good enough. I

00:20:42.780 can't create this. I mean, I know you had a hard time last year, man. I don't want to bring that

00:20:46.520 up, but you know, but it seems like you've bounced back from that in a meaningful way to go like, 0.58

00:20:50.200 wait, okay, maybe I fucked up, but how am I going to grow? How am I going to evolve for this? How 0.81

00:20:53.920 I'm gonna become a better person from this.

00:20:55.660 And that's the beauty of life.

00:20:57.200 It's not about, someone said to me recently,

00:21:00.140 they said, the road to success is paved

00:21:03.860 in mistakes managed well,

00:21:05.860 failures managed well or something like that.

00:21:07.380 Yeah, which I think is a great way.

00:21:09.400 It's not about not failing.

00:21:10.700 It's going like, I am going to fail,

00:21:12.300 but how do I react in those moments

00:21:13.960 when I make a mistake, things don't go my way

00:21:16.500 and continue to build forward in a positive way?

00:21:19.640 It's funny you say that.

00:21:20.580 Everyone we've had on this podcast,

00:21:22.080 the guests I find most interesting,

00:21:23.540 who i'm most intrigued by i have the the best conversations with are the guests who have been 0.59

00:21:28.800 through shit the guests who have failed made mistakes um just because it gives you it gives

00:21:34.800 you a 360 degree complexity that that i'm attracted to um i'm attracted to you colin yes 0.95

00:21:42.600 hey thanks man but uh i want to i want to ask one question too before we get off the

00:21:50.260 jump rope had you been injured before that in your life ever like badly not not on that level

00:21:55.700 you know i've like broken a few bones just like being a knucklehead kid i you know cracked a

00:21:59.280 wrist falling off a bike that kind of stuff but on that level never had like a surgery or a major

00:22:03.740 injury like that that was definitely another level and burn injury is weird right like you

00:22:07.360 know what like scrapes and bruises or something like that but burn you know the skin is a 25

00:22:11.340 most point of hours in your body it's the largest organ in your body so you're seeping out proteins

00:22:14.580 like i don't even know how to process that in my mind let alone the pain of that is just i mean

00:22:18.540 all the nerve endings are exposed you still have scars from that um considering how bad those

00:22:23.340 photos are um not so bad to be perfectly honest you had graphs yeah that's a few graphs but mostly

00:22:28.900 um because of where i was i wasn't able to get like the full kind of medical burn treatment that

00:22:32.980 you would normally get um because by the time i got to the united states it was kind of too late

00:22:36.220 for a lot of that so but all things considered man you know it's not the first thing people 0.83

00:22:39.680 notice when i'm wearing you know shorts but i point out you're like oh shit yeah there's

00:22:42.800 definitely scars there but um but it's not as bad as you might think i got really lucky so is that

00:22:47.500 the the burn accident is that the worst thing that's happened to you the scariest thing that's

00:22:50.880 happened to you in your life because like a lot of the stuff you do i was going to ask kind of a

00:22:54.820 second question i feel like you're sort of gambling with death if i'm being honest yeah a lot of people

00:23:01.340 have died doing the stuff that you've done yeah yeah you know i you know believe it or not you

00:23:05.720 know whether you could take my word for it i don't really think of myself as a thrill seeker as like

00:23:09.640 a risk taker i think of myself as more of managing risk which is i don't let risky things stop me

00:23:15.880 from pursuing my passions. But I think to myself, how can I prepare? How can I get ready for this?

00:23:20.540 So when I studied the Antarctica project, which people have been attempting in various forms for

00:23:24.480 about 100 years, and most notably over the last few years, a guy made it 900 miles across 100

00:23:29.460 miles from the finish line after 71 days and fell ill and died. And another guy a couple years later,

00:23:34.200 really renowned polar explorer, made it 55 days in and ran low on food and had to be rescued and

00:23:38.500 pulled out of there. So I'm like, what are they doing wrong? Where do they get into rough shape?

00:23:41.620 And so for me, I figured it was actually around food and health and nutrition.

00:23:45.060 I come from a kind of my parents are in the food industry.

00:23:47.780 My dad's an organic farmer in Hawaii.

00:23:49.380 And so for me, it was like, can we figure this out through like optimized health and

00:23:52.480 nutrition?

00:23:52.900 Maybe these guys weren't treating their bodies right enough.

00:23:54.640 So I actually spent a year in a lab, you know, studying food, finding out all my food

00:23:58.040 sensitivities, like with all these doctors and, you know, nutrition and stuff.

00:24:01.240 And so for me, this is an example of like preparing in a way.

00:24:04.100 Is it dangerous?

00:24:04.880 Yes.

00:24:05.100 Did I run low on food?

00:24:06.100 Yes.

00:24:06.340 Was I 30 pounds lighter with my hips and ribs like protruding at the end because I couldn't

00:24:10.140 carry enough food?

00:24:11.080 Absolutely.

00:24:11.620 but i figured out just enough of an edge to make the sort of up for the mistakes that some of those

00:24:16.100 people made along the way and so to me it's yes it's risky but also i think preparation goes into

00:24:21.160 that i mean on everest the day i summited everest you know three people died that day um the exact

00:24:25.500 same day that i was up there three people died not anyone i knew from what from exposure to the

00:24:30.400 high altitude so sometimes people are moving so slowly up there that they run out of supplemental

00:24:33.860 oxygen and they get what's called cerebral or pulmonary edema where you know your chest or

00:24:38.920 brain fills with fluid and that's it so again you know that could happen to anyone but at the same

00:24:43.900 time i train my body to be prepared for that environment um and i'm not impervious to to you

00:24:49.380 know challenges death you know all these things they could happen in these environments but also

00:24:53.120 you know i also choose to live my life i guess with optimism going like i also drive a car around

00:24:57.260 la to get here you know what i mean like i get hit by a car doing that you know yes it's easy when

00:25:01.120 you're in the himalayas to go an avalanche could come or you know i could die up here or something

00:25:05.020 like that but like that could happen in all sorts of other weird ways my stepfather who's a huge

00:25:09.220 influence in my life when he was 16 he was just taking the l train in chicago got bumped off the

00:25:13.460 platform ran over by the l train and fortunately he survived with no like crazy injuries but they

00:25:18.280 thought they were pulling a dead body out of there and he was like look like life's too short he

00:25:22.420 literally was on his way to you know ivy league college decided to not go to college move to

00:25:26.660 oregon and start a hippie commune because he was just like you know what life's too short i'm just

00:25:29.800 gonna do what i want to do like right now and so you know i take a lot from that and my experiences

00:25:34.280 that led me down that same path which is you know carpe diem you know like this we only got one life

00:25:38.320 let's get after it how important is it in i'd like to hear from both you like in deviating like

00:25:45.860 there's that standard path there's that path of societal programming and you you leave it at some

00:25:53.080 point you know what i mean like how how did you guys get the courage to actually deviate from the

00:25:59.640 path i love to hear your answer to that um i i mean i i grew up working hard like that's the one

00:26:09.720 thing i i know i can always fall back on it's an edge i'll always have over everyone i know

00:26:15.660 i work my ass off and jake my brother always said when we were like coming out here to la

00:26:21.820 he would say hard work beats talent and i argued him for some time but uh i started to to realize

00:26:29.620 that's not true hard work is one of the rarest assets to find out here and i was confident in

00:26:36.940 myself knowing that if i did go off the beat or the go off the beaten path is that what the saying

00:26:43.000 is go off the beaten path i was confident that i could make it happen for myself because of how

00:26:49.520 much i believed in myself it all it all started with that whether that was like a thing with

00:26:53.240 with parenting and how,

00:26:55.480 how my mother and father raised me.

00:26:58.480 I just never had that,

00:27:00.160 that doubt.

00:27:00.960 Yeah.

00:27:01.480 It probably was influenced by your parents,

00:27:05.440 but you still made that decision,

00:27:07.420 you know,

00:27:08.040 like at some point you have to like sack of and make that decision.

00:27:12.840 So I find it fascinating with people who just decide,

00:27:16.960 like,

00:27:17.500 I mean,

00:27:17.700 make that decision.

00:27:18.300 Like,

00:27:18.540 yo,

00:27:18.640 I'm going to bounce.

00:27:19.840 I'm going to go travel the country and bum off couches and just

00:27:23.220 do something different like there's no guaranteed plan there's no idea of what future you have but

00:27:28.740 you're sitting here on number one podcast in the world and you've summited mountains all over the

00:27:32.740 world like that's fascinating to me it just blows my mind to hear that the confidence that it takes

00:27:38.140 to deviate and what comes as a result of that yeah i mean i can relate to the hard work ethic

00:27:42.620 i think that's a big part of it but i think it's interesting there's some parallels for sure you

00:27:46.500 know for me i grew up in portland oregon didn't grow up with a lot of money when i was a kid

00:27:50.260 um you know I was really into swimming which ultimately got me into college at Yale University

00:27:54.300 like I but I was not that was not my path like an Ivy League path like when the Yale swim coach

00:27:58.380 called to recruit me literally they were like hi we're calling to recruit you from Yale and I was

00:28:02.300 like so where is that like and my mom's like going like tell them where it is New Haven Connecticut

00:28:07.860 and tell them who has the best pizza in the world Pepe that's right so anyways obviously that's an

00:28:14.080 incredible opportunity for an amazing education and all this but I'm 17 years old when I go off

00:28:18.080 to college. So I was super young for my grade. I show up there at 17, you know, public school

00:28:21.720 kid from Portland, Oregon shows up in new Haven. And all these guys are like, you know, I'm going

00:28:25.600 to be an iBanker. And I'm like, and I what, you know, like, I didn't even know what investment

00:28:29.180 banking was like, that's how like foreign that sort of whole prep school Northeast world was

00:28:33.120 to me at the time. Now I've gained a lot of respect from that. I, you know, I appreciate

00:28:36.520 my education, but it's all these guys are going off. They're like, you know, I'm going to get

00:28:39.600 my job out of college. You know, this is, this is going to make me sound old, but 2006 pre-credit

00:28:44.040 crisis, you know, wall street was a high on its hog, you know, getting those jobs, you know,

00:28:46.960 22 years old making 120 150 grand a year you know it's a lot of money particularly for someone like

00:28:51.280 myself who grew up with very little um but i was like but you have to sit at the desk for like a

00:28:57.040 hundred hours a week like it was like it's like not that i don't want to work hard but like they're

00:29:01.680 like what is the land i remember actually visiting a buddy of mine um who had graduated a year ahead

00:29:06.160 of me and i went and visited his apartment in new york city he had this like fancy job at a big

00:29:09.340 investment bank and i go to his house and he's got like a mattress on the floor and nothing and i'm

00:29:13.240 like how much you pay for this apartment he's like oh it's like four grand a month new york's

00:29:16.520 expensive. And I was like, but there's nothing in it. He's like, yeah, but I'm literally never

00:29:20.080 here. Cause I'm just, I just sleep at the office and I'm this, and I'm going like,

00:29:23.760 you know, it's, I think for some people that's the right path. But I looked at that and I was

00:29:26.960 like, you know what? Like there's something different for me. And I had this wanderlust

00:29:29.680 of travel. And I thought to myself, I was like, if I put myself in a unique and interesting

00:29:33.900 environment, if I travel, if I meet new people, if I have no money, even though I get burned in

00:29:38.180 a fire in Thailand, which ultimately happened, like I'm learning so much through that process

00:29:42.200 about myself, about where I want to go. And I imagine for you, I don't know you super well,

00:29:46.060 but similar where you're just like, I'm going to keep trying. I'm going to keep inventing. I'm

00:29:49.380 going to work hard. You're not sitting with your feet up doing nothing. You don't necessarily know

00:29:53.080 where the path goes. I love Steve Jobs quote from his Stanford graduation speech. It goes,

00:29:57.940 the dots don't necessarily connect forwards, but they can connect looking backwards. And so I've

00:30:01.320 kind of had that thought of like, if I go climb mountains or if I race triathlon around the world,

00:30:04.720 or if I, you know, take this random whim, you know, I've had many setbacks and failures along

00:30:08.440 the way, but they've all sort of added up to a unique and beautiful life that has ultimately

00:30:12.120 turn into a lucrative career and, you know, something that I'm proud of. But in the beginning

00:30:17.160 of that race, my friends with the investment banking jobs had more money and seemed like

00:30:21.040 they had a cooler life. Now, you know, I go back to my, you know, 10, 15 year college reunion

00:30:24.980 and they're like, oh man, I see your pictures on Instagram. I fucking wish I could do something 0.89

00:30:30.320 like that, you know? And so it evens out the long run. So, I mean, when I'm talking to young 0.98

00:30:33.900 people, it's like, hey, the road less traveled, oftentimes it's a little more uncertain,

00:30:37.440 but it doesn't necessarily lead to where you were talking around complacency of just being like,

00:30:41.260 I sit here on my couch and crack PBRs on Friday waiting for the weekend or that kind of thing,

00:30:45.180 you know, living a full life. I think one of the biggest things you can do is even if you are an

00:30:49.640 iBanker or an accountant, whatever, is just start to slowly expose yourself to those things.

00:30:54.580 Like, you know, jump, jumping ship is not always a viable solution for people in life. We've talked

00:30:59.160 about this on the show before. Some people have debt, they have kids, they have things that make

00:31:04.540 it very hard for them to go and just say, okay, I'm, you know, and I'm giving up my job at the

00:31:09.140 bank and i'm gonna go hike or climb but you know what do a little bit of it expose yourself to

00:31:14.500 different things every year see what you like and right now in 2019 we live in a society where you

00:31:20.840 can literally turn nothing into something easier than ever before in the history of this world

00:31:26.020 through youtube through instagram technology technology whatever you want to do you can go

00:31:31.900 out there and do it if you want to be the best hiker in the world and start an instagram page

00:31:35.960 YouTube channel, hiking and find a niche, do something that no one else is doing and own

00:31:41.100 that space. You could do a new niche is born every single day on this planet and you can own it right

00:31:46.420 now, literally. And that's to say, that's to say too, I think that there are people doing

00:31:50.220 investment banking, people in law, you know, doctors or whatever, who are like, that's what

00:31:53.440 it, that's what they want to be doing. And so to me, I'm like, hell yeah, if you want to do that,

00:31:57.780 do that, but don't be the person that like, didn't want to do that, thought you should do it. And

00:32:02.520 then kept going down that path. If there's a different niche that strikes your fancy,

00:32:05.600 like go after that and i agree with you jumping ship like tomorrow you know it's like barely

00:32:08.800 unrealistic and what i've built has you know developed over time for sure but um yeah i agree

00:32:14.120 i think it's i think it's more so conforming in a way that you think you should or shouldn't do

00:32:18.480 to because it's the right thing ultimately leads to an unfulfilled life you know in general you

00:32:23.240 sound like a delusional optimist that's what that's what charlie rockin winning shriek and i

00:32:28.620 feel like one too like yo if i always joke and that's not a joke though if i say if you took

00:32:33.700 everything from me like strip me of everything literally as long as i have like a tree i grew 0.74

00:32:39.220 up in a fucking tree and i can like chop wood bro i'm cruising but i i do want people to take 0.89

00:32:44.160 what you're saying what you're both saying with a grain of salt because 0.99

00:32:47.340 this fascinate fascinates me too there's there's thousands of colin o'brady's who didn't become

00:32:54.180 colin o'brady there's thousands of logan paul's who who did drop out of college to pursue their

00:32:59.720 goal of becoming an internet star

00:33:01.340 who didn't make it. So what do you think the difference

00:33:03.580 has been? I don't know. I really

00:33:05.660 don't know. I do. I do.

00:33:07.520 Why me? Hard work.

00:33:08.900 A lot of people work hard, man.

00:33:12.160 Like, not a...

00:33:13.080 I think belief is a big

00:33:15.800 thing, too.

00:33:17.160 Let's talk about luck for a second.

00:33:20.600 Is luck real? Do you think that there is luck?

00:33:22.820 Meaning, like, there was a bit of thousands

00:33:24.820 that could have been you, and you just kind of, like,

00:33:26.460 randomly, fate, timing, whatever,

00:33:28.620 that or do you think that you created your own luck in a more sort of meaningful way not to say

00:33:33.780 you haven't gotten some good turns along the way but um i i created my luck i don't i don't really

00:33:38.700 believe in like good luck like oh i i got lucky like you win the lottery you get lucky you know

00:33:44.600 what i'm saying but like me man i remember the days when i was sliding into people's dms like

00:33:49.840 the facebook like best vines page with like 18 million followers and i was like hey my name is

00:33:54.400 logan uh check out this vine i just made i think it's pretty funny maybe you could post it

00:33:58.380 and like i sent hundreds of those and eventually like one of them posted it and i was like oh my

00:34:02.520 god it got solved by like it's seen by 50 000 people and so there was that creative uh hump

00:34:09.640 that i had to overcome to get seen and be noticed to to to do what i wanted to do and i think you're

00:34:16.120 undervaluing that first step that's a vulnerable thing to message people and be like hey my thing's

00:34:21.340 cool right like you know how many people like maybe film something or funny or as creative as

00:34:25.380 what you've done but are like yeah like they're gonna laugh at me or the guy's not gonna post me

00:34:30.200 or like yeah and they're just like then they just never do it you know what i mean like so that is

00:34:33.680 actually i think not it comes down to happiness too because you don't have to be as big as you

00:34:39.580 guys to ultimately get that sense of purpose and happiness out of your life i had 10 000 followers

00:34:45.620 i was stoked right that was the greatest day of my life so there's a lot of people that was amazing

00:34:50.220 there's a lot of people that deviate from their path or like if they're a banker or whatever they

00:34:54.540 were and they have 10 000 followers and they're they're set yeah if they're traveling they're

00:34:59.920 making enough to go and see the world like you you don't have to pressure yourself to be as

00:35:06.460 somebody else's level i think that's that's another big thing so big right now like just be happy with

00:35:11.340 where you're at and i think the people who really fail and fall off that path of their passion is

00:35:16.340 because they're they're so stuck comparing themselves to other people the people who make

00:35:20.520 it to this level are the ones that are just happy they're they're totally cool with themselves

00:35:24.720 absolutely there's no question to your point though that that first step that you're talking

00:35:28.760 about that dm slide that is the only guaranteed pertinent step in the process yes guaranteed if

00:35:35.800 you don't take the first step and put your first video out or slide in your first facebook dm or

00:35:40.100 do any of those things yeah the sails on your ship that might be filled with luck and confidence

00:35:45.040 later the boat never leaves the station you're stuck there so until you do something and take

00:35:50.380 the first step. I remember when I started taking photos after I first gotten clean and started to

00:35:55.240 get my life together, I started taking photos. I bought a Canon. I started taking pictures and

00:35:59.140 stuff. A month later, I started telling people I am a wedding photographer and I made business

00:36:03.920 cards that said wedding photography. Then people started hiring me for weddings. And then I said,

00:36:08.160 Hey, drones, the DJI one phantom came out, bought a drone. And I said, I do aerial cinematography

00:36:14.640 for weddings. And they said, Oh, well I'll pay you $7,000 to do aerial videography at my wedding.

00:36:19.820 So I started flying drones over people as they walked down the aisle and I was never

00:36:23.980 trying photography.

00:36:25.340 I was just a photographer.

00:36:26.540 So until you take that first step, start to believe in yourself and do things to, to put

00:36:31.760 the sales up, to get filled with luck later, nothing will ever happen.

00:36:35.320 And I have to take the first step.

00:36:36.540 I think you're like the, to me, what I hear from that story was I made business cards

00:36:40.500 that said I was a wedding.

00:36:41.660 I was already, you know what I mean?

00:36:42.860 Like that, like it was like, yo, that costs you like whatever, 50 bucks maybe.

00:36:47.580 But it's like, oh, I'm actually this

00:36:49.840 I have a business card that says I'm this

00:36:51.700 I wasn't trying it, I wasn't

00:36:53.420 And then the same thing happened for social media too

00:36:55.620 Absolutely, absolutely

00:36:57.400 I mean, trust me, when Logan Paul slid into my DMs

00:36:59.660 I felt pretty honored, you know

00:37:01.520 I did

00:37:01.960 I was going to right after you did this

00:37:05.500 But I figured you were getting hit up by everyone

00:37:07.500 And you were

00:37:08.220 Because I saw you on Rogan like two weeks after 0.99

00:37:11.200 And I was like, fucking Rogan got him 1.00

00:37:13.160 Damn it 1.00

00:37:14.920 And then, didn't one of you suggest 1.00

00:37:17.580 Hitting him up, Andre did.

00:37:18.860 And I was like, oh, yeah. 0.98

00:37:20.520 Yeah, he's sick.

00:37:22.400 Okay, yo, I want to talk about this little,

00:37:25.220 the Antarctic expedition.

00:37:27.720 Yes.

00:37:28.340 When you saw the edge of the earth,

00:37:29.820 what was that like?

00:37:30.740 Here we go.

00:37:32.020 Here we go.

00:37:32.860 This is when I figured we were, you know,

00:37:34.720 this all was just a pandering to get to this point.

00:37:37.240 He said the word edge 15 times already today.

00:37:40.780 And I was like, when is he going to turn this page, dude?

00:37:43.900 Tell us about the NASA rogue agents that stopped you.

00:37:46.580 So, you know, as you mentioned, there have been a lot of, you know, press and media and all sorts of things around this project, which is very humbling.

00:37:54.500 But when I got back to my hometown of Portland, Oregon, probably one of my more favorite, although smaller, engagements was the mayor called a press conference to announce that December 26th, from furthermore into the future in Portland, Oregon, my hometown, is no longer the day after Christmas, but it's now Colin O'Brady Day.

00:38:11.020 Amazing.

00:38:13.780 That's incredible.

00:38:14.480 uh so trust me i'm getting back to the flat earth but um so that so that happens it's a big press

00:38:19.720 conference um it's great he's he's actually our mayor has climbed mount efforts he's a he's a

00:38:23.660 badass um goddamn ted wheeler great guy anyways so there's a q a um you know kind of open forum

00:38:29.620 you know town hall type of thing people are asking me all sorts of questions you know how'd you go to 0.99

00:38:33.500 the bathroom in america how cold is it do you see penguins you know all the things people want to

00:38:36.380 know i actually want to know the answers to all yeah so we can answer them in a second um and then

00:38:41.520 afterwards it kind of event wraps up and this guy walks up to me um afterwards he says hey you know

00:38:46.520 i really just wanted to wait for kind of a private private forum to ask you this question i just want

00:38:50.020 to shake your hand you know congratulations um so let's talk real now he's like he's like 100%

00:39:00.020 earnest he's like so um how was the wall what'd you what'd you bring to climb the wall you were

00:39:07.100 like and i was like ha ha ha like i was like this is hilarious like i thought i was joking and then

00:39:11.020 i was like why is that one so long why is that one so long dude the crickets the crickets um i was

00:39:19.060 like i was like ha and i was like oh you're serious you are dead serious so for those just

00:39:28.580 let me give some context the flat earthers aka the people who believe the earth is flat

00:39:33.940 believe that the edge of the earth is surrounded by a giant ice wall 200 feet tall and that

00:39:42.220 antarctica cannot be crossed and that once you go a certain distance you will see the edge yes so

00:39:49.640 so all said by people who've never been there by the way i i laugh at all this

00:39:55.940 kind of half-heartedly because uh i actually had a a friend

00:39:59.800 by the name of p

00:40:03.760 take a deep breath take a deep breath i want to hear this with a straight face he fell off

00:40:08.520 the side he fell off the side of the flat earth dude look out okay so so but you you were getting 0.95

00:40:15.920 shit from flat earthers oh it was like a it's like a real thing man oh it's very yeah i mean

00:40:20.880 you can tell me more about it than anyone suppose but uh uh yeah man it's uh it's a real thing i 0.97

00:40:26.740 people were like yo and then people but it's it's crazy i feel like they just kind of chew they're

00:40:30.420 like like his gps there's like a whole thing actually in forbes not like some random thing

00:40:34.440 like forbes ran an article that was like colin o brady's project is in question because the earth

00:40:39.460 is flat thought by this and was like wait what like and then they said his gps coordinates weren't

00:40:44.800 posted whenever which like i literally in the link of my bio of my instagram page the entire

00:40:48.700 times you could literally see in any minute where i was like exact latitude and longitude which is

00:40:53.740 It's still posted on my website, by the way.

00:40:55.440 But they're like, oh, no, no, no.

00:40:56.300 But that just shows that GPS is wrong.

00:40:58.640 No matter what you say, it's always something wrong.

00:41:01.040 They will argue that till the day they go in the grave.

00:41:03.660 If NASA reprogrammed your GPS to fire back wrong.

00:41:07.500 And your brain.

00:41:08.320 And your brain.

00:41:09.520 Make a literal statement right now to that camera

00:41:12.940 that Andre's running.

00:41:14.560 I walked 1,000 miles from coast to coast

00:41:18.640 via the South Pole of Antarctica,

00:41:20.460 and there was no wall.

00:41:21.940 There was no edge.

00:41:22.940 I just kind of kept going until the other side happened

00:41:25.700 because Antarctica is a circle.

00:41:28.260 It's round.

00:41:28.960 That's a fact.

00:41:29.640 It's a round.

00:41:30.200 The Earth is round.

00:41:31.760 Facts.

00:41:32.660 Yo, that is so funny to me.

00:41:35.140 Wow.

00:41:35.740 Because people will still debate you and debate you

00:41:39.580 for the rest of their life.

00:41:41.340 All day long. 1.00

00:41:42.120 Yo, get with this shit. 1.00

00:41:43.420 It's over. 1.00

00:41:44.360 You lost.

00:41:45.060 You lost.

00:41:45.720 Get off.

00:41:46.700 Move on to something else.

00:41:48.060 Area 51 something.

00:41:49.960 Reptilian overlords.

00:41:51.200 I don't care what it is.

00:41:52.040 But this whole permitting thing is crazy.

00:41:53.660 They're like, the government controls it.

00:41:55.860 Any of that, it's all life.

00:41:57.340 You're a part of the biggest conspiracy.

00:41:59.740 How much did they pay you?

00:42:01.260 Was there any government thing?

00:42:03.380 Or did you just pull up and wreck?

00:42:05.040 So Antarctica is actually...

00:42:07.320 Pull up and wreck.

00:42:10.080 Antarctica is actually...

00:42:11.260 I think this is really unique.

00:42:13.320 I'm big into conserving the environment.

00:42:16.380 And Antarctica, no one owns Antarctica.

00:42:18.420 12 countries.

00:42:19.100 There's 12 signatory countries.

00:42:20.280 And it's the only place in the world that has never seen war.

00:42:23.200 So it's kind of a weird thing to think about, but it's actually pretty special.

00:42:26.000 So it's been preserved in this way.

00:42:28.080 Twelve countries have kind of come together to kind of like self-govern it.

00:42:31.540 But essentially, yes, there is government research that happens there.

00:42:34.980 You do need the right permits to be able to be in Antarctica.

00:42:37.780 But it's not something that like you can't get.

00:42:39.680 Like you can apply and get the permits and do the right paperwork.

00:42:42.220 Did you get the permit?

00:42:42.780 Yeah.

00:42:43.140 It's not like you could do it anyway.

00:42:44.980 So the question is this.

00:42:46.940 What is stopping them from going?

00:42:49.620 what is stopping them from bringing a camera by the way i'm so into this now at this point that 0.94

00:42:55.120 i personally almost want to pay for them to go personally i'm not even fucking playing dude i

00:43:00.060 want to go into my bank of america account which is overdrafted take enough money out to send these 0.99

00:43:04.720 assholes to fucking antarctica to see their to see the wall bro it seems like if there was a wall you 0.99

00:43:09.700 would just get there take a picture because they won't because they won't do it because they know 1.00

00:43:13.940 that they're gonna go the wall ain't gonna be there and all of their lucrative money making 0.96

00:43:18.060 event shit is gonna die immediately i heard logan paul was taking a cruise ship across the

00:43:22.080 to prove that the earth was flat that was like a week that was that was one week before our 0.99

00:43:26.880 documentary dropped that everyone realized we were fucking with everyone brilliant by the way

00:43:31.120 thanks man thank you i think i think it's like a bigger societal issue though you know outside 0.52

00:43:36.800 just flat earth like people jumping on things like just without going and doing it and seeing

00:43:43.100 it or experiencing it or going through what that person went through that you're accusing them of

00:43:48.020 it's the echo chamber right like you could just go talk to the same hundred people that believe

00:43:52.000 the same random thing that you and then you feel like everyone in your whole world yeah oh obviously

00:43:55.640 of course yo yo when we were at the conference at the end when we were done shooting by the way i

00:44:01.680 went i went insane i passed out for the first time in my life um flat on his face i was i was

00:44:07.020 questioning i was like i was like yo what if it is i was surrounded by them for just too long

00:44:12.540 and i started reading robbie davidson's book and i was like yo what if what was the most

00:44:16.980 compelling argument where you were like hmm honestly the most and by the way i want to say 0.82

00:44:22.220 i was high as fuck like i was not in the right state i was i was high like yeah we smoked a lot

00:44:27.640 anyways and the altitude anyways uh the most compelling argument to be honest is um when they 0.93

00:44:34.200 say the the nasa photos like are photoshopped or composites just because that's something like

00:44:39.760 technically we are like fed these images and like technically nasa could be some

00:44:45.940 weird conspiracy program i'm kind of starting to be convinced maybe well the thing is supposedly

00:44:54.840 too that there's potentially the first photos that were taken in the late 60s could have been

00:45:03.220 composite because we were in this thing with the russians and everybody was in this space right so

00:45:07.800 who knows but honestly like have we not gotten to a point now where there's not other photography

00:45:12.460 other stuff other than just nasa like i mean you're a master drone photographer you could just

00:45:16.860 fly the drone i'm not i'm not just a drone photographer i'm a space drone videographer

00:45:22.840 wait i want to talk about echo chambers and talking about lies okay not to get crazy political

00:45:32.020 but trump went on stage yet uh two days ago he skipped the correspondence center he went on stage

00:45:36.940 in wisconsin it said that babies are born in wisconsin that's true they're taken from the

00:45:43.660 mothers so far uh and when when abortions go wrong they take the live baby they bundle it up

00:45:49.580 beautifully a beautiful baby and then he said and then the doctor makes a decision whether or not

00:45:53.960 we'll execute it and he made this motion and everyone in the crowd went they're using guillotines

00:46:02.640 on babies in wisconsin i don't know yo this is not a true story this did not happen i'm sorry

00:46:10.020 look it up brother pull this pull the video up actually let's watch it doesn't surprise me and

00:46:14.940 so to the point of echo chambers whether it's him whether it's the the two dudes that were about to

00:46:20.180 frame the democratic guy for being like a um pedophile or whatever if you put anything out 1.00

00:46:27.420 there right now some morons will eat that shit dude trump has a new go-to lie about abortion 1.00

00:46:32.940 and it's horrific born alive born alive the baby is born here we go the mother meets with the doctor 1.00

00:46:43.800 they take care of the baby they wrap up the baby beautifully no your impression was good

00:46:50.500 and the mother determine whether or not they will execute the baby no no no no no

00:46:56.980 oh no wait hold on does he does he do the guillotine he says it's incredible

00:47:02.500 man in virginia said it nobody even thought of that right did anyone even think of that

00:47:06.780 yeah late term but this is where the baby is actually born it came out it's there it's wrapped

00:47:14.100 Slice

00:47:15.280 Gone

00:47:15.960 And there goes the head

00:47:17.380 The baby's head rolls away

00:47:19.360 And the dude with the black mask

00:47:21.500 From the olden times

00:47:22.560 Comes and grabs the baby's head

00:47:24.300 Bro 1.00

00:47:24.540 And sticks it on a fucking steak 1.00

00:47:26.580 Dude over the top of the castle 1.00

00:47:28.020 Good god

00:47:29.940 Yeah well

00:47:30.880 Political theater

00:47:31.960 That's 1.00

00:47:32.820 We are living in a fucking shit show folks 1.00

00:47:35.460 I don't think 1.00

00:47:37.020 I don't think we are

00:47:38.020 I love 2019

00:47:38.920 Your optimism is incredible

00:47:42.920 It's so fake

00:47:43.940 like i it's just so mind-numbing like even like paying attention to it even giving it energy it

00:47:49.820 like doesn't matter there's such a new reality being built that it's it doesn't require politics

00:47:55.680 to want to hear want to hear something about that new reality they're saying he's got 2020 locked

00:47:59.880 but that's what i'm saying it doesn't require politics to be built like politics are are just

00:48:05.560 like this compared to what's being built that's true i like that like it's such a waste of time

00:48:12.120 bro it's such a waste that has 1.74 million views our last vlog has like three times that that's

00:48:19.540 good bro like it's such a mind-numbing i get it i get it i get it but at the same time the views

00:48:26.640 on his vlog didn't spend three trillion dollars on military last year that's where you're wrong

00:48:31.200 that i have to pay for with my taxes that's where you're wrong he actually bought seven warships

00:48:35.280 that's why that's why we can't eat it was just it was a poor financial investment that we don't

00:48:41.320 even have any to meet anybody to man the ships we don't have any ammunition like they're just

00:48:46.180 warships didn't you make dwarf mama the admiral of your name i thought he'd be good bro anyways 1.00

00:48:51.880 damn a logan paul army i mean it exists called the logang you don't fuck with them you don't 0.99

00:48:57.020 fuck with them should we should we get some warships yeah that's the next investment i think 1.00

00:49:03.440 so i think so hey man you're awesome hey what was it like to masturbate below 40 1.00

00:49:09.820 let's get real into it like i gotta know you can't tell me didn't go 54 days without jerking 1.00

00:49:17.560 off i hate i hate to say i hate to sort of really you know kind of spoil your wet dream about me in 0.71

00:49:21.640 my tent all alone but um abstain no no i don't believe you and i'll tell you why i'll tell you

00:49:29.540 why honestly man i was so tired and so hungry really that like my body wasn't really functioning

00:49:38.260 at an optimal level but not even one time for this one time one time for the squad bro for the

00:49:43.340 for the for the culture like you didn't see any you didn't see any hot snow bunnies out there

00:49:48.420 that really got you and then let me put the other thing is that um to save on weight i actually

00:49:53.240 only brought one pair of underwear i said but only 10 wet wipes with me for the entire journey 0.99

00:49:58.500 oh my god you had a dirty ass crossing that article bro very very very i thought you were 1.00

00:50:04.460 I was going to say, to save on weight, you didn't bring your dick. 1.00

00:50:07.720 That would have been heavy. 0.99

00:50:08.920 That would have saved a lot of weight.

00:50:10.420 What was the diet like?

00:50:13.560 Like, what did you eat?

00:50:15.200 Well, I told you I went to this lab,

00:50:16.700 and they actually created these bars that they called the column bars.

00:50:19.020 My sponsor, Standard Process, is a whole food supplement company,

00:50:21.300 and they created these custom bars.

00:50:22.600 But it was all whole food, sort of plant-based nutrition.

00:50:24.640 So it was coconut oil, nuts, seeds,

00:50:27.340 sort of really specific to what my body kind of needs and takes.

00:50:30.400 And then on the other side of that,

00:50:31.460 I ate some freeze-dried oatmeal and stuff like that.

00:50:33.840 You're talking Spencer's language 0.99

00:50:36.040 He's about to jerk off right now 0.99

00:50:38.680 I already did 0.99

00:50:41.000 You didn't even see

00:50:42.380 So wait

00:50:44.800 You were vegan on the trip?

00:50:47.280 Pretty much plant based

00:50:48.400 That's dope

00:50:50.320 I'm starting to get a new

00:50:51.440 See vegans crossing Antarctica

00:50:52.980 What?

00:50:55.660 I saw you do that boxing thing man

00:50:59.160 When was that fight?

00:51:00.880 Last August

00:51:01.820 Doing it again in November

00:51:03.660 All right.

00:51:04.220 How'd you get swole for that?

00:51:06.060 I went vegan.

00:51:07.020 You did?

00:51:07.460 Yeah, but I lost too much weight,

00:51:09.020 so I had to eat meat the last month.

00:51:11.980 Like, bro, I lost so much weight.

00:51:14.100 When I'm older, I think I'm going to be vegan.

00:51:15.020 Do you got to cut weight for that?

00:51:15.920 Do you got to be a specific weight class for the fight?

00:51:17.640 We, I don't really know, to be honest.

00:51:20.260 We were just like, yo, let's like try to shoot around 190,

00:51:22.940 like plus or minus five.

00:51:24.160 Who's this guy you're fighting?

00:51:25.100 His name's KSI.

00:51:25.940 Okay.

00:51:26.280 Real outstanding gentleman.

00:51:28.200 Great guy.

00:51:30.660 Tell me what you really think.

00:51:33.460 Now, did you see penguins though?

00:51:35.860 I was actually curious about that.

00:51:37.920 So, in the interior of Antarctica,

00:51:39.980 there's nothing alive.

00:51:41.500 There's no wildlife.

00:51:43.180 There's no trees, obviously.

00:51:44.660 There's nothing.

00:51:45.840 But on the edges of the continent,

00:51:47.420 there are penguins.

00:51:48.180 But I didn't see them where I was.

00:51:50.100 That's got to be a bit depressing.

00:51:51.660 Was it worth it?

00:51:53.360 Was it worth it?

00:51:54.100 The crossing?

00:51:54.720 Yeah, even though you didn't see penguins?

00:51:56.680 Yeah, you know,

00:51:57.420 I kind of want my money back, actually.

00:51:59.140 Was there ever a moment

00:51:59.980 where just like you're in this

00:52:00.960 expansive white nothingness. And you're like, wow, I'm in heaven. And then you realize, no,

00:52:06.000 wait, I'm not dead yet. I think it might've been this moment. Yeah, right there. That was the

00:52:10.660 moment of complete bliss. No, but, but truthfully, actually I tapped into some places in my mind that

00:52:14.900 were very profound. I, uh, the last, you know, kind of actually deleted almost all my content.

00:52:19.620 So I didn't have podcasts. I didn't have music pretty much was in silence the entire time and

00:52:23.620 was able to kind of find these spaces in my mind. Um, you know, flow states, if you will, uh, that

00:52:28.720 really took me to some amazing places for example i could ring bring back all the memories from my

00:52:33.540 childhood but not like not like if i was like hey man do you remember when you graduated from high

00:52:37.180 school and you like have a quick memory pop into your mind like i would be like there for like

00:52:41.520 hours in that moment like this is what that person was wearing and this is what it looked like and

00:52:44.840 the wind was blowing like like lucid lucid memory so that was insane and then the last bit um i was

00:52:50.060 out there um and actually was running really low on food i don't know if you guys knew this but

00:52:54.580 there was another guy attempting at the exact same time. So there was actually a race of sorts

00:52:58.660 going on. I was a couple of days ahead of him. Um, but I wanted to finish this thing and I was

00:53:01.760 77 miles away. My average miles have been about 15 miles per day pulling the sled. And I woke up,

00:53:07.840 it was Christmas morning and I was like, I'm 77 miles away. It should probably be three or four

00:53:11.700 days or something like that. And then all of a sudden I just clicked into this flow state in my

00:53:15.380 brain where just everything felt strong and powerful. And I decided, you know what, I'm

00:53:19.700 going to see if I can go without stopping completely to the end. The sun never sets here.

00:53:23.460 And so I did the last final 77 miles in this 32-hour flow state push in my body and mind without sleeping, without stopping.

00:53:30.840 Were you worried about that?

00:53:32.280 Like, were you worried you might blow your load, like, on the last day, dude? 0.98

00:53:36.400 You're like, I'm going to go for it and just drop dead.

00:53:38.260 It's funny. 1.00

00:53:39.060 Big-ass booger in your left nostril. 0.99

00:53:40.520 Like, that's how you go out, dude. 0.99

00:53:42.800 They have to come grab you.

00:53:44.200 There was a moment when Jenna, my wife, she said to me, she was like, you know, you're going to finish this thing.

00:53:48.840 You're going to become the first.

00:53:49.880 It's looking really good. 1.00

00:53:50.680 Unless you do something stupid, like, you know, blow your load at the end. 0.99

00:53:53.340 yeah but i i found this place in my mind and maybe you can relate to this from some of the 1.00

00:53:58.120 stuff you've done in triathlon i don't know but where you just are just fraction you're locked

00:54:01.620 in like i was just i was i just knew it you know it's crazy like i said like bones are protruding

00:54:06.020 i was skinny i was running out of food and this i was you know a couple days before that kind of

00:54:10.760 crying about how weak and scared i've been all these bad storms you know i had a little bit of

00:54:14.320 frostbite on my nose and fingertips at this point but i just woke up in the morning i was like oh

00:54:17.980 wait like boom i've got i just found this place in my mind and that's just another example of like

00:54:22.280 i said of these sort of reservoirs of untapped potential these things that we can find inside of

00:54:25.780 us we're like you don't know where those edges are and you get to 53 days you think i'm going

00:54:30.020 to be declining so quickly and i actually found the strongest moment of my entire life perhaps

00:54:35.480 to push through 77 miles in one continuous push which has really never been replicated in any

00:54:40.180 sort of form in an article it's like those moms that like lift cars off their kids or something

00:54:44.420 you know we have so much so much strength inside of us and we can i mean for me that's cultivated

00:54:48.740 around endurance sports but i think you can cultivate that sort of passion creativity in

00:54:52.660 so many different directions you have you ever been to work hungover yes very similar situation

00:54:57.720 yeah like you're like i'm gonna dig so fucking deep right now to get through this day and you 0.58

00:55:05.280 you you get into a flow state and yes it's clouded by bong resin pbr use condoms whatever but you 0.98

00:55:12.920 fucking drill as hard as you can and you some i pushed through seven hour work you said how many 0.97

00:55:19.060 you sent at least 77 emails they were all three misspelled words but yeah and you get that tps 0.99

00:55:25.700 report on the desk there you go rose hey don't lie to me did you ever hit a flow state during

00:55:32.100 your iron iron man for sure for sure like at the end if you look uh in the footage my eyes are just

00:55:39.300 crystal clear white um i'm like skinny i'm like just like dead but i'm still celebrating like

00:55:47.980 yeah you you have to as long as you're pushing through some limit where you're like oh my god

00:55:53.820 i really don't i'm not not gonna be able to do this but then you push beyond that and you like

00:55:59.400 overcome that wall that barrier yeah you break through that that's where you can really tap in

00:56:05.660 And I think maybe you've probably experienced this, you know, doing Ironman and things like

00:56:08.860 that, but where time sort of changes, right?

00:56:11.260 So for me, like the passage of time, there's moments when you're struggling and you're

00:56:15.460 all the doubts going into your brain.

00:56:16.800 You know, I remember actually the first day when I was in Antarctica, I couldn't barely 0.98

00:56:20.540 pull my sled and I was like, holy shit, I might not.

00:56:23.700 I called my project the impossible first, literally the first day I called my project 0.97

00:56:26.560 the impossible first.

00:56:27.800 And after the first day I was like, well, called my wife.

00:56:30.360 It's like, we may have named a project the right thing.

00:56:32.060 It looks like it's impossible.

00:56:33.060 but i was like literally i remember going okay i'm gonna like try to get into this i'm gonna try

00:56:36.660 to pull my sled and i'm like pulling my sled i'm like okay i'm in a good rhythm i can barely pull

00:56:40.240 the snow it's been this and this i look down at my watch it's been four minutes like i'm like i'm

00:56:44.640 like oh my god but then conversely with 32 with 32 hours that was like it went through in just

00:56:51.000 like this like sort of lucid days where i got in this place where like you know hours would tick

00:56:55.060 off over time i'd just be like just kind of comfortable in this and it would just be floating

00:56:58.240 so it's weird how we can like four minutes can seem like a lifetime but then 32 hours you know

00:57:02.880 like just be i don't know i was just writing about this like i think a lot of the music we listen to

00:57:08.440 the content we consume like the people we're surrounded with it formulates a thought process

00:57:15.320 that isn't us but we think it's us because it's that voice inside for sure that is like constantly

00:57:20.980 chattering whenever you you try to be quiet you know you try to like go into a meditation but you

00:57:26.460 can't and i think it requires something like that like that shock to your system that shock to your

00:57:32.620 paradigm to to actually address it have any of you guys you or any of you done meditation in any

00:57:38.240 sort of meaningful way we we've dabbled with it but you've like you've like thrown the the headspace

00:57:42.780 app on for like i did i had it i was paying 13 bucks a month great app by the way but just like

00:57:48.080 everything else in my life i got bored i'm gonna throw down a challenge here i'm gonna throw down 0.90

00:57:51.640 a challenge you guys you want shit you know it's not a physical challenge but i think it will have 0.96

00:57:57.100 the most profound growth if you have it you're a hard worker so it's probably hard to find 10 days 0.99

00:58:01.080 But 2011, my life changed when this girl came to my race, this Turkish woman who's married

00:58:06.540 to a friend of mine.

00:58:07.200 She doesn't know nothing about sports and sees me race one of my first professional

00:58:09.920 triathlons and goes, you know, I see that this is actually more of a mental challenge

00:58:14.240 that you're going through.

00:58:15.060 You should meditate.

00:58:15.780 And I'm like, cool, where do you think I should start?

00:58:17.180 And she was like, well, there's these 10-day silent meditation retreats, completely silent,

00:58:21.000 no reading, no writing, no eye contact, called Vipassana Meditation.

00:58:24.540 You may have discussed this.

00:58:25.480 You may be aware of this.

00:58:26.580 Completely free to go.

00:58:27.260 Oh, we're aware.

00:58:28.040 And game changer.

00:58:30.220 Game changer.

00:58:31.080 Like, if you want to have more profound growth in your life than ever,

00:58:34.200 young creators out there,

00:58:35.560 whosoever's watching,

00:58:36.460 I'm telling you,

00:58:37.300 go find a Vipassana meditation course.

00:58:39.320 It will change your life.

00:58:40.720 It costs you nothing other than 10 days,

00:58:42.600 which will be the most profound investment you can make in your life,

00:58:45.520 period,

00:58:45.960 no matter what you're trying to cultivate.

00:59:20.900 something inside of you that's like when we set our mind to something we're actually gonna do 0.99

01:00:01.500 I'm gonna miss you

01:00:02.100 On the podcast

01:00:02.640 You're gonna come back

01:00:03.620 There's one in Joshua Tree

01:00:05.280 Not far

01:00:05.800 Really?

01:00:06.320 Yeah

01:00:06.560 We should do it

01:00:07.280 And document it

01:00:08.160 And then make a YouTube video

01:00:09.300 About it

01:00:09.600 Well who's documenting it

01:00:10.580 I'll document it

01:00:11.880 You gotta be silent

01:00:12.560 Yeah I can

01:00:13.200 Do I have to talk

01:00:14.500 While I press record

01:00:15.280 What do you do

01:00:16.180 What do you do

01:00:16.880 The whole time

01:00:17.540 Can I get massages

01:00:18.500 No

01:00:18.880 What do you do

01:00:20.320 The entire day

01:00:21.060 Is the exact same

01:00:21.780 audrey knows this um and basically what it is they wake up before 30 in the morning with they

01:00:26.540 think they ding this gong then you meditate basically it's about 12 hours a day of meditation

01:00:31.200 but there's three main one hours where you're in the hall there's a meditation hall where you're

01:00:34.780 near other people so you're sitting on the ground um but obviously no one's talking um and then

01:00:39.580 there's only two meals in the day so you only get eat twice you don't eat after sort of midday

01:00:44.180 until the following day and the rest of the time you're either meditating in the hall or your room

01:00:48.340 and you can be outside a little bit you know walking around to kind of stretch your legs

01:00:51.280 and stuff but it's pretty focused meditation um in complete silence so no reading no writing no

01:00:56.720 eye contact as you even you know the food is prepared for you it's a very simple vegetarian

01:01:00.280 diet um but you know normally you'd like say like scoop some rice on your plate or beans and like a

01:01:05.060 guy standing behind you a normal thing to do would be like hand the guy the spoon right but in this

01:01:08.860 sense you're supposed to act as if you are completely alone so you just really scoop that

01:01:12.840 set it back down who tells you silence who tells you that's how you do there's a little orientation

01:01:17.000 like before it starts where obviously someone's talking to you then it's the schedule was written

01:01:20.220 on the wall. But the meditation itself is guided. And so the basically at the beginning of each one

01:01:26.020 of these one hour segments, there'll be like three or four minutes of instruction as it's

01:01:30.340 progressive. So first, it's an awareness of breath. And then it gets kind of deeper into

01:01:33.400 the practice as you go. And then one hour at night, there's what's called a discourse,

01:01:37.100 which is sort of the teacher kind of giving you a little bit of a download. You're not speaking

01:01:41.000 to him, but they're giving you a little bit of kind of instruction on what the next day looks

01:01:43.820 like, some allegories and something like that. But it's in silence, man. I mean, other than a

01:01:47.800 few people talking to you about meditation and even in those hours it's not like they're talking

01:01:51.560 it's like headspace where he's talking to you the whole time it's guided it's like a couple of

01:01:54.980 minutes and then boom the room's dead silent for an hour most important question and i'll just ask

01:01:59.440 it for logan what are the wi-fi up and down yeah and what and most and most importantly what is

01:02:06.640 what is the schedule around uploading yeah that's um i think right after the tea break in the evening

01:02:11.840 it's uh the youtube vlogging break yeah that's the modern day version of the buddhism

01:02:16.180 i wonder if we could upload no no if i'm gonna do this i'm gonna do it right yeah the one the

01:02:25.180 other we're gonna do the other reason why i like things like this is because i know that everything

01:02:31.260 in life that takes time like i can just imagine what day 11 feels like when you walk out of that 0.94

01:02:36.860 bitch and you're just you're on you're on you're literally levitated above the ground i walk 0.99

01:02:42.900 straight i walk into the club and i'm just like this and i'm just like fucking levitating girls 1.00

01:02:47.380 are like you look like you haven't spoken in days i got a couple stories to tell i got two stories 1.00

01:02:51.840 to tell that you're like so my first time i go my stepdad drives me out there mentioned my stepdad

01:02:56.440 before amazing guy in my life he drives me to the place an hour north of portland there's a center

01:03:00.280 and i have five older sisters big big family i'm the baby boy and he's like yo i have never heard

01:03:05.940 you shut up a single second in your life so you can go there for an hour but i'm gonna leave the

01:03:10.520 car running in the parking lot when you realize this is a terrible idea just come back out i'm 0.98

01:03:14.640 still gonna be here but similar to you when someone throws out a challenge i'm like no i'm

01:03:18.340 staying and i'm so glad i did but the second of all is my wife we've done it together a couple

01:03:23.380 of times obviously the men and women are segregated you're by yourself but at concurrently at the same

01:03:27.020 time and so the last time we did it actually um we came out of the meditation at the exact same

01:03:32.780 time so could speak again for the first time and we went immediately and drove up to banff canada

01:03:38.320 So without really talking to anybody else, we drove straight up to Banff.

01:03:41.660 And so we were still on this kind of, you know, silent meditation vibe, just the two

01:03:45.320 of us in our own little bubble.

01:03:46.520 And the connectedness that we felt with one another, the conversation, the depth.

01:03:50.760 I mean, it's almost like rolling your face off at Coachella.

01:03:53.280 It's on that level of depth.

01:03:54.920 Really?

01:03:55.760 No, I'm serious.

01:03:56.760 On the most natural of natural of natural ways of just like this vibration, this connectedness

01:04:01.420 that I've never experienced in any other ways, you know, running around Burning Man, other

01:04:05.320 things I've done.

01:04:05.900 but like being in that space

01:04:07.580 was profound, profound

01:04:09.060 and to share that with somebody else

01:04:10.240 or the girls in the club

01:04:11.280 that see you levitating 1.00

01:04:12.040 either way, you know.

01:04:13.480 Well, they say monks

01:04:15.200 and like people

01:04:16.400 who are spiritually enlightened,

01:04:18.220 they don't take any hallucinogenics

01:04:20.380 but yet they have the ability

01:04:21.560 to tap into those same

01:04:23.140 like you're on hallucinogenics

01:04:25.360 than anyone else.

01:04:26.360 100%, like whenever you want.

01:04:28.240 100%.

01:04:28.640 It takes a little more work

01:04:30.080 than then to go just going

01:04:30.660 taking a little pill

01:04:32.140 but it is a level even deeper.

01:04:34.800 Like that to me,

01:04:35.900 Like by the time I'm in my 30s, like I had and just inside something is driving me to have to experience that to like set down all substances, get away from all the things that you're attached to in reality and find a way to tap into that.

01:04:50.540 Yeah. And I think actually what you said before, when you were it reminded me of this, when you said, look, if I lost everything right now, I just had a tree like I can, you know, I can chop wood.

01:04:58.340 I can, you know, I can be that in the simplicity. And for me, I have a lot of things going on in my life, a lot of abundance, amazing things.

01:05:04.040 I'm just as addicted to social media.

01:05:05.380 My iPhone is as the average person.

01:05:07.720 But going through that and realizing that I can be happy with nothing in the simple stillness of my brain has given me so much strength to take risk in my life to say like, hey, I'm going to try to start that business.

01:05:18.320 I'm going to cultivate that idea because if this doesn't go wrong, worst case scenario, I'm still me and I'm good.

01:05:23.420 And that confidence is like unrivaled in the sort of the potency of it.

01:05:27.060 You talk about social media addiction.

01:05:29.760 I did an interesting little math problem yesterday.

01:05:33.020 i was on the plane and i was curious because i was spending like an hour i think the average

01:05:37.840 person right now on instagram is spending like an hour 15 or more on just that app on just

01:05:43.420 logan paul's page i have a lot of pictures which is you know makes sense um so if you

01:05:50.340 were to add that up into 50 years of consumption on instagram say we're you know using instagram

01:05:57.320 all the way into our 50s and 60s which we probably will you know because that's our

01:06:01.540 native platform or way of consuming content. So if we're to use it for just one hour per day for

01:06:07.500 50 years, that's two years of our life. Just scrolling on a phone. That's a long time, dude.

01:06:16.200 This podcast is supported by Morgan Stanley. At Morgan Stanley, we see the world with the

01:06:22.240 wonder of new eyes, helping you discover untapped possibilities and relentlessly working with you

01:06:28.880 to make them real because grit and vision working in lockstep puts you on the path to your full

01:06:35.600 potential old school grit new world ideas morgan stanley to learn more visit morgan stanley.com

01:06:43.720 slash yus investing involves risk morgan stanley smith barney llc like so think about that that's

01:06:50.460 insane like make that content make that two years of your life that you're about to spend

01:06:55.680 like you just you you just don't see it in that chunk of time 10 days doesn't seem like a lot

01:07:00.100 yeah in that perspective yeah 10 days is nothing and that's just one app remember because exactly

01:07:05.540 and that's a very modest probably uses their phone for five very modest you know yeah it could be

01:07:10.880 three years could be four years like one hour a day that's very modest like people are consuming

01:07:16.660 two three hours of social media day don't hate me i'm not but so what i mean if we go with that

01:07:25.000 attitude our future is looking a little interesting because we're starting to give up our power

01:07:32.340 you know we're saying are we we're saying i don't need to tap it why do i need to because i can just

01:07:38.020 be bored i can just consume this instead of empowering each other instead of changing the

01:07:42.780 world instead of upgrading civilization we're just gonna there's gonna be people that just fall off

01:07:47.960 well it's funny because he's goes devil's advocate which is cool but he also is is a firm has talked

01:07:54.140 or at least been a pretty big believer in the cyborg we're becoming cyborgs of course we might

01:07:58.160 as well be that's unimplanted in our brains and every single one of us basically is like

01:08:01.900 right connected to every single one of us but but counter spencer's point there are people out there

01:08:06.640 who would say arab spring was born out of twitter the only reason arab spring happened was because

01:08:12.020 of twitter you know what i'm saying and there's a lot i'm sorry what is that uh the rights for

01:08:16.680 arabs and arab countries yeah grew from an uprising that started on twitter and those

01:08:21.240 demonstrations were born and crafted and cultivated on twitter right well that's yeah the social media

01:08:26.360 is like a beautiful tool when used properly when used properly like what i do right now be social

01:08:31.440 exactly right exactly what i do right now is i've muted everybody that isn't positive at least you

01:08:38.720 didn't unfollow us again dude exactly that sucked because i like honest man yeah i don't i don't i

01:08:43.760 thought that was awesome i don't want to be a dick because it's still a great platform to network it's 0.82

01:08:47.900 still a great platform to consume content. It's an amazing tool, but if we don't use it and respect

01:08:54.220 it as an amazing tool, it becomes an addiction. So the way that I've looked at it, so during my

01:08:59.440 Antarctica Crossing, my other projects, I've actually used social media a lot because I think

01:09:03.400 it's an amazing way to tell stories. You know, I'm no Logan Paul on the internet, but I was the

01:09:07.820 first person in history to Snapchat from the summit of Mount Everest, which was the most viewed

01:09:11.960 snapchat story of the year 33 million or so yeah in the 2016 um so anyways but and then also in

01:09:18.620 antarctica i carried even though i was cutting weight i carried this little satellite modem

01:09:22.060 where i could upload images to that and because i think as humans even going back to caveman days

01:09:26.700 long before the internet you know we're wired for storytelling it's how we are inspired it's how we

01:09:30.820 consume things however the difference being that my reason for doing that isn't to be the athlete

01:09:36.560 in the arena like yo guys i'm gonna do something no one in history's ever done watch me do this

01:09:40.840 the way that I share my content and say like, Hey, I'm doing this. What can you do? Like what,

01:09:45.580 what in your life can you take from this and to be inspired? And so all the DMS that I get now

01:09:49.980 that inspire the hell out of me, or someone's like, yo, I watched you cross Antarctica and I

01:09:53.380 finally started that business that I always wanted to. I leaned into my relationship in another way,

01:09:56.760 or I went and did that meditation course or things that people said, took something from it,

01:10:00.300 took a proactive step in their lives. And so I think to your point about social media,

01:10:04.380 just the mindless scrolling and the like comparing yourself to others and all that,

01:10:08.500 like that of two years of that like that's really sad but get you know using it as a platform this

01:10:13.200 digital age to go like wow we can inspire others we can speak to millions of people all at the same

01:10:17.400 time in that sense it's a beautiful thing that we've never seen before and so to me it's finding

01:10:22.420 that balance and i try to use the platform in that way to sort of share my ideas or sort of

01:10:26.980 because i'm inspired as a hell as other people's stories that inspire me you know like that's how

01:10:30.560 i get fired up as well yeah i think that's beautiful i think there's an opportunity to uh

01:10:35.160 for all creators, if there's any creators watching this too,

01:10:39.500 you don't have to take this like massive approach to like being inspiring in

01:10:43.480 every piece of your content, but roll something into your storytelling.

01:10:47.420 I've, I've talked very,

01:10:49.160 very little about my struggles with addiction and overcoming that I've,

01:10:52.140 I've talked about it on the show, maybe 30 seconds at a time here and there.

01:10:54.940 And the amount of DMS I've gotten from people that have said, yo,

01:10:58.480 see knowing where you came from and how bad you were sleeping on floors and

01:11:02.020 all of the horrible things you went through and seeing where you are now

01:11:04.720 inspired me to give up opiates today yeah the first person that i heard that from hit my heart

01:11:10.240 so fucking hard and i've gotten dozens now and i hope everyone's staying on the right path but

01:11:15.280 like i rolled in such a little amount of that storytelling and inspired people so yeah did 0.99

01:11:20.960 there was that a penis yeah no i just i just think it's i think there's def always an opportunity to 0.58

01:11:25.440 roll some of that inspirational storytelling or like your life tale into and like and we were 0.96

01:11:30.480 talking about before about having that sort of 360 image of a person that multi-dimensional layers

01:11:34.480 has been like, yo, I've made mistakes, but I've learned from it.

01:11:36.980 Or, you know, that is where people can actually relate.

01:11:39.180 Because if you're just sitting here going like, oh, yeah, I'm here.

01:11:41.160 Everyone watch me. I'm super cool.

01:11:42.200 You're like, well, what was your journey for getting there?

01:11:43.820 Or like if I'm like, oh, I'm a world-class athlete. 0.56

01:11:45.640 I have four world records, done shit that no one's ever done.

01:11:47.800 It's like, okay, well, but then you're like, oh, but I got burned to fire. 0.92

01:11:50.320 I made these mistakes.

01:11:51.140 And it's like, oh, wait, that's a full and complete story.

01:11:53.800 And that's where we connect to that vulnerability in the depths

01:11:56.100 because everyone can see themselves at some part of the arc of that story,

01:11:59.820 whether that's in the depths of opiate struggle right now

01:12:02.340 or seeing themselves getting out of that.

01:12:04.480 is and that i mean that's how i think that does bond us as a fabric of humanity and that used to

01:12:09.220 be just shared you know by minstrels or the you know storytellers walking around the medieval

01:12:13.620 times all the way through now we just share it differently now but um it is destructive in other

01:12:18.800 ways as i think we both agree upon i think that's a new wave yeah using social media the right way

01:12:24.240 yeah um and consuming it the right way it's it's funny the com uh the top comment on our last

01:12:29.000 podcast by neon noah dear logan paul if you see this comment tell charlie he may have just saved

01:12:33.980 my life with this podcast i'm an overweight kid who is bullied in school and i have very few

01:12:37.800 friends each day i pray that i may get out of school alive this podcast inspired me to think

01:12:42.100 about school in a different way tomorrow i'm going to try my hardest to ignore all the bullies

01:12:45.540 also to hear about how charlie and mike both came back from 300 plus pounds makes me want to do

01:12:49.720 something about my weight and not let it get worse and there's more but here but like thank

01:12:54.520 you for having charlie on today he's my new best friend and i don't even know him but like

01:12:58.140 i i that's real that's real it's fucking i have these moments with with with things that i watch

01:13:04.820 and that's that's like where i like as a product of social media almost like this is the stuff that 0.90

01:13:11.660 i i am scroll scroll up just a little bit too uh like i'm afraid just because we got hit with an

01:13:17.860 ad and this girl's looking at well not all the way okay you can go down a little bit so 156 000

01:13:23.020 views you know that compared to millions of views like what's more impact i think that's something

01:13:31.080 that you know i i like to pay attention to these comments and when people say stuff because

01:13:35.640 this is you know obviously this is a new video that's actually really good engagement

01:13:40.580 but the videos that aren't aren't getting millions of views are sometimes the ones that are the most

01:13:46.320 impactful that actually move people to to do and i think when you look back obviously you're making

01:13:51.100 scalable impact and like you said there's dozens of dms you know i get you know the same thing

01:13:54.700 thousands of responses like this that are amazing but like forget about all that like one dude right

01:13:58.660 there is like yo what you guys put in the world like save my life today thank you like that crazy

01:14:03.220 you know there's no that or scale millions that like just the one of one impact yeah that is

01:14:08.060 extraordinary right i also think i mean speak of social media it being used the right way i'm not

01:14:13.500 i'm also not sure we are on the right path this is this is a video that came out uh last week

01:14:18.320 i don't know if you've seen this i did see this this is fucking weird this is so weird 0.60

01:14:22.320 this is a uh chimpanzee scrolling through instagram scrolling the gram 0.87

01:14:26.360 like doing it right like yo swiping left and right to to make photos bigger yeah and he's

01:14:33.800 on tarzan's page who we had on the podcast but this is terrifying i don't i just don't know 0.98

01:14:38.840 about all this this can't be good mike how does how does he know this is what the fuck 0.97

01:14:48.140 It's funny to me 0.98

01:14:51.100 because that's like actually how the majority

01:14:52.960 of people scroll social media.

01:14:54.400 Their face is right next to you. 1.00

01:14:58.080 Ooh, ass, ass. 1.00

01:14:59.760 Double tap, double tap. 1.00

01:15:01.480 Double tap for ass. 1.00

01:15:03.280 That's the face of a social media 1.00

01:15:04.960 addicted chimpanzee.

01:16:52.200 talk about a lot of stuff uh and when you were a kid did you know you were gonna grow up to be a

01:16:57.160 superhuman you know i get this superhuman question a lot people say colin you must be a superhuman

01:17:03.220 and my response is yeah i am a superhuman but so are you oh you know but so are you because i believe

01:17:10.300 that it really comes down

01:17:11.580 to a muscle

01:17:12.520 that we can all flex

01:17:13.500 not the one between our legs

01:17:14.640 but the one between our ears

01:17:15.760 the six inches between our ears

01:17:17.080 and how we flex

01:17:18.000 and develop that

01:17:18.740 determines our superhuman abilities

01:17:20.560 and we can all do that

01:17:21.720 so

01:17:22.020 and let me ask you something

01:17:22.940 do you really believe that?

01:17:24.240 I do believe that

01:17:24.600 you believe everyone

01:17:25.440 has that superhuman in them

01:17:26.700 I think that people

01:17:27.560 have extraordinary capabilities

01:17:28.940 in us

01:17:29.240 and even myself

01:17:30.240 have nowhere near

01:17:31.100 found the limits

01:17:31.800 of my own potential

01:17:32.400 everyone

01:17:33.040 I do

01:17:33.720 because some people 1.00

01:17:34.040 just suck dude 1.00

01:17:35.020 like if I'm being honest 1.00

01:17:35.880 well it's deep down

01:17:37.300 it's like 0.99

01:17:37.620 they're just a thick ass onion

01:17:39.260 i like that a bunch of onions bro i like that a lot of layers to peel back how can you peel 0.52

01:17:45.740 back those layers we've been saying it lately inspiration desperation one of those two you

01:17:50.900 were inspired i was desperate you know what i'm saying so like i think one of those two things

01:17:56.000 will pull those layers back for you for sure yeah plus i mean like dude we're on such different

01:18:01.120 parts of our evolution like you know you're yeah i i love the saying it's like don't compare your

01:18:06.840 chapter one to someone's chapter 80 of that it's you know there's people who like let's just say

01:18:11.660 like immigrants for example coming into our country right now like our families did that

01:18:16.400 five generations ago right like so you can't you look at them like hey why aren't they getting

01:18:22.280 what i'm at right now it's like bro you're on freaking iphone like you're you're on iphone 10

01:18:27.380 they they're on nokia nokia i like looking at the chart of when uh older ceos started their

01:19:07.620 what are my new goals

01:19:08.280 I'm sure you got a big thing

01:19:09.200 I got

01:19:09.600 I do have another expedition

01:19:10.920 that's marinating in the back of my brain

01:19:13.420 it'll be later this year

01:19:14.380 I have not announced it yet publicly

01:19:16.160 so mum's the word still

01:19:17.740 but come follow me on Instagram

01:19:19.540 and I'm gonna announce that at some point soon

01:19:21.300 but you know

01:19:22.540 the real fun thing for me

01:19:23.820 has been the ability to share the story

01:19:25.900 as widely as possible with Antarctica

01:19:27.300 I'm just only back in a few months

01:19:29.120 but being able to

01:19:30.240 you know press media podcast long form um all the public speaking i do in the corporate sense

01:19:35.020 all the i have non-profit with kids really good at it too i appreciate that man i watched you on

01:19:39.480 rogan briefly before you came on here i was like oh this is dope this dude actually has a personality

01:19:43.520 i appreciate that but you know that and then the book you know it's fun you know uh it's always a

01:19:48.480 dream of mine to write a book so to really be kind of diving into the details of what i'm it's a

01:19:53.080 cathartic process for me man i'm learning by going through i used to write journals since i was a

01:19:56.980 kids. So reading back my old journals and going back through my old story, of course, we're going

01:20:00.220 to talk about Antarctica and the more present day stuff, but you got to, you know, figure out,

01:20:02.980 you know, for the source of that. So that's been an interesting project of its own. While my body

01:20:06.960 recovers, I'm using the mind to do cry at all while you wrote it. I'm a big crier, man. I'm

01:20:12.360 not going to lie. I, uh, I get emotional pretty easily. I, uh, you know, I, I like that feeling,

01:20:17.880 you know, that actually, I feel like I'm actually alive when I'm feeling those. Yeah. Going back

01:20:20.880 through my childhood stuff, certainly reflecting on things that I regret as well, you know,

01:20:24.320 ups and downs in life um but uh the emotions of all the pieces of my life it definitely brings

01:20:28.900 out brings out some tears from time to time both happy and sad tears i like crying i asked because

01:20:33.460 i because i've written one myself and so i was i remember there were certain points where i was

01:20:38.700 trying to type and my keyboard was covered in tears dude oh yeah i mean it it brings out all

01:20:44.920 all those real moments and that i mean but that i think also what forms a beautiful piece when you

01:20:48.880 know you can tell when someone kind of whitewashes their story or something like that versus someone

01:20:52.440 who get into that sort of authentic truth of their life,

01:20:55.060 you know, and that's where I'm aiming for. 0.97

01:20:56.500 What does your wife do when you're gone?

01:20:58.060 I was going to say that, man. 1.00

01:20:59.140 How is she cool with that? 1.00

01:21:00.600 My wife is the most amazing woman on the planet. 0.99

01:21:03.880 Sorry, everyone else out there.

01:21:06.060 But no, she really is, she is my co-creator.

01:21:10.280 We've dreamed up all of this together.

01:21:11.940 We met when we were 20 years old

01:21:13.240 on a tiny little sand atoll in Fiji, actually.

01:21:16.360 I was traveling around the world

01:21:17.220 right before getting burnt in the fire.

01:21:18.440 and uh her and i met on an island uh very young and have had this amazing life together we've you

01:21:24.900 know been in 50 some countries together but also have built these projects so it's not like i come

01:21:28.800 there some people think like in the general sort of gender roles you'd like a guy be like i want to 0.87

01:21:33.240 climb mount everest i want to set these world records wife's like no don't go don't go and

01:21:36.920 she's like okay like let's create something from this let's tell stories let's start a non-profit

01:21:40.360 impact kids like let's really build this thing out like our last project had two billion media

01:21:44.820 impressions is the most like kind of covered expedition in history um you know tons of

01:21:49.480 coverage globally whatever and like that's jenna behind a laptop like figuring out media figuring

01:21:54.280 out pr like we've really bootstrapped a lot of this and it's because of her cunning and strength

01:21:58.480 and so what does she do i mean she's in the trenches with me and even when i was alone in

01:22:01.960 Antarctica physically alone like i like to say jenna walked every step with me and you know

01:22:06.500 for her and i like when we got to the end yeah we've been separated for two months but we have

01:22:10.560 been so emotionally entangled in this massive goal together that I fell even more in love with her

01:22:15.100 throughout that process wow yeah that's one that's one thing that um that I I can't discount

01:22:23.140 for for stories we're talking about what's important before luck or hard work man it sounds 0.70

01:22:29.940 like you were I've been so blessed with good fucking people behind me and like honestly like

01:22:34.720 I feel really badly sometimes for people who weren't given that. 0.98

01:22:39.700 Cause like,

01:22:40.120 like you talk about your mom,

01:22:41.280 my mom is like my hero.

01:22:42.620 Do you know what I'm saying?

01:22:43.460 And like,

01:22:44.200 I've always had really strong friends and family behind me.

01:22:47.240 And I feel terribly for people who have to go through the struggles of life

01:22:52.220 alone.

01:22:52.760 A hundred percent.

01:22:53.320 I feel super fortunate for that.

01:22:54.900 You know,

01:22:55.180 without my mother in Thailand,

01:22:56.340 without what Jenna has been with me,

01:22:57.520 the other countless people,

01:22:58.640 you know,

01:22:58.900 that have been a part of my life.

01:23:00.640 Um,

01:23:01.040 it's,

01:23:01.480 you know,

01:23:01.800 I definitely can't be discounted how important that is for sure.

01:23:04.720 I just

01:23:05.500 before we sign up

01:23:06.360 I want to say
