SHNEAKO - I Ran a Marathon with Casey Neistat...

00:00:00.000 they say you should never meet your heroes to protect you from the ego-crushing reality that

00:00:12.980 might occur when you smell the bad breath of your idol it's advice strictly for the people who are 0.99

00:00:17.520 only ever capable of worshiping the people that they could learn from if you can't handle the

00:00:22.060 disappointment of realizing the person you romanticize wipes and burps just like you 0.60

00:00:26.300 You were never gonna make it anyway admittedly. I'm nervous because in just a few hours

00:00:30.580 I'm supposed to meet the pioneer of New York City daily vlogs one of my favorite filmmakers of all times and one of the reasons

00:00:36.680 I started YouTube 12 years ago if all goes well. There are no more living heroes of mine to me

00:00:43.820 Casey Neistat just texted me saying he wants to go running at 620 at the Brooklyn Bridge

00:00:48.260 I had a feeling he was gonna text you that so I set my alarm for five

00:00:50.980 I fell asleep, but by some miracle. I woke up at six

00:00:54.220 So I'm gonna run with one of the YouTube legends one of my biggest inspirations in life. I was supposed to wake up just now

00:01:05.820 By the grace of God, I woke up in time. I've been trying to get in contact with Casey for the past couple days

00:01:10.760 He's been busy with kids and he's flying out for the next three weeks today. He said 620 at the Brooklyn Bridge. It's 614

00:01:18.340 see i don't think a lot of this new generation understands how much of an inspiration this guy

00:01:27.280 was when we take field trips into manhattan back when i was 13 14 i'd look out the bus window

00:01:32.220 wondering if he was gonna ride by on his electric skateboard when i dropped out of college and bought

00:01:36.620 my first camera i got the one he had the jovi tripod the canon 80d with the road microphone on

00:01:42.340 top walking around being like Casey Neistat when I was designing my new

00:01:46.780 Manhattan studio guess what I use as a replica his studio 619 I don't see him

00:01:52.900 Casey Casey Casey it's 620 I'm right here either I got scammed or I'm just

00:02:02.860 here before him

00:02:05.660 You know what would really suck is if I just got knifed and there he is, how you doing? 0.63

00:02:15.660 Let's go, are you good to run? 0.92

00:02:20.660 Yeah, I have a fight coming up.

00:02:22.660 I thought you were going to start your run here.

00:02:25.660 Yeah, right here.

00:02:28.660 What kind of fight are you trying?

00:02:31.660 Boxing.

00:02:32.660 I used to train at New York City Cops and Kids in Flatbush.

00:02:37.280 It's a free gym for people under 21.

00:02:39.860 I was 23, so I just lied.

00:02:43.840 I used to box. I love boxing.

00:02:45.980 I've never seen any boxing content from you.

00:02:51.080 I've been wanting to meet this guy for a decade,

00:02:53.300 but I'm too tired to do anything else but small talk about traveling.

00:02:56.820 Constance. Back and forth to travel.

00:03:00.000 Now you get to breathe a little on the...

00:03:02.480 But down you get a breathe a little on the decline

00:03:11.420 It's all down from here

00:03:14.780 It's so cool is that by doing what I do going around with the camera making content putting myself out there

00:03:19.380 I've had so many full circle moments

00:03:20.920 Like I learned how to lift weights because Bradley Martin videos and now I talk to him all the time

00:03:24.780 He's a good friend of mine. That is so cool to me

00:03:26.980 You know growing up when 11 years old

00:03:29.140 getting belief from listening to kanye west and then getting to meet yay and work with him or like

00:03:33.980 going in high school going to trump rallies and then then you get to to meet him eight years later

00:03:38.080 that's what's so cool about this and uh some kid came up to me at the beach today and he's like 0.63

00:03:42.620 like how do you meet cool people i told him like if you make cool shit cool people will be attracted

00:03:47.580 to you if you put yourself out there you make something dope naturally you're gonna meet all

00:03:51.480 those people people say don't meet your heroes i disagree completely i think you should meet them

00:03:55.280 you realize that these are humans too and then you see like okay if they can do it why can't i

00:03:59.360 i know it's really obvious motivational advice but when you meet these people it really hits like

00:04:04.560 oh i can do this how about like a another video that i finished it took like three months to make

00:04:13.440 it's about planned obsolescence what does obsolescence mean uh obsolescence it's like um

00:04:20.240 for companies from companies design products to only last a short amount

00:04:29.080 yeah so it's like you gotta write it and that's hard and my rule always is like

00:04:47.500 If you couldn't see the video and you listened to it, it would still be compelling.

00:04:54.500 That's a hard, that's a high block.

00:04:56.500 I just value this more now.

00:04:59.500 The family time.

00:05:00.500 Than, yeah, this and family.

00:05:02.500 It's more important now than, you know, when I was younger and didn't have family.

00:05:09.500 from the

00:05:11.300 from the French

00:05:12.380 so you know

00:05:14.340 post-world war 2

00:05:16.080 anti-colonialism 0.99
