Daniel

Yes.

Marshmello!

Would you say that the idea for being able to just create from any place was kind of that driving factor for you to not be hindered down by making a specific type of music that you were kind of boxed into before? Like this kind of gave you the freedom to do anything in a sense.

I think people have a strange, like, connection with music to where... I mean, it feels like... It's almost, like, mythical to them. Yeah, or they just kind of... I think they put, like, a wall in front, like, behind the artist. And my goal is to go behind that. Behind that wall, yeah. We'll go behind the wall today. It'll be good. So excited today. Oh, baby. For the first time in history...

Did it work right away, or did it take a bit for the music to start catching on?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Which remix would you say was like the turning point for you that like really pushed to that next level then?

Really?

That's amazing.

What did it feel like to get that call from Skrillex?

Was that the famous call that was the famous call what tell me about that call tell me what that was like I?

We have the most recognizable face in music doing a long-form interview, never been done before. This is true. This is true. An exclusive interview with the one, the only, Marshmello. Oh, yeah.

And then that happens. That's insane.

Yeah, it's interesting, because I've never heard you do an interview before, ever. I've heard you do small things here and there. What made you want to start telling more of your story?

You had like yes or no buttons.

yeah but also the music you have some like the biggest songs that for anyone out there this is one of my favorite questions to ask because it like really just blows people's minds every time i do it for anyone out there who doesn't know who you are what are the songs that they would know you from happier love it wolves with selena gomez fire friends with ann marie amazing come and go with juice world uh leave before you love me with the jonas brothers that's like a that's kind of a sleeper one

Yeah, how the brand, in my opinion, kind of reminds me a lot of Spider-Man, right? Like anyone can be under the mask. It kind of like inspires like so many like generations and everything like that. You've kind of been able to touch so many different generations as well as so many different cultures. Yeah, yeah. How does it feel to be such like a global artist because of that?

I even saw you were like learning all the instruments that they have over there. Yes. Which is so sick.

But it's also like what's cool about having Marshmello is you can make a song that's in dubstep. You can make a song that's in pop. You can make a song that's in EDM. That has allowed for so much for you. What kind of genre is your favorite to make right now then?

Yeah, but it's about to hit like a billion streams, right?

Love that.

I was watching an old interview you did.

I watched every single one.

For a total of ten minutes. You wanted to do a song with Bad Bunny. Yeah. I mean, you kind of made it with the remix, but...

Oh my gosh.

They did.

I saw the first show that you did, 2015. Yeah. And you could see them right there on stage. They look sick.

Incredible. Now, even though you've had all those hits, one of my other favorite questions to ask is how many songs do you think you made until you got like your first big hit?

He is like an icon, you know? It's not just Marshmello, it's the whole fan base, the music, the... The show. At the end of the day, anybody can be Marshmello. And that's what makes this bigger than music. How did this all start for you?

That's crazy if you do. So we'll see. We will see. That'd be cool to show. That'd be crazy.

And there's the video.

Of you using it. Yeah. Were you, like, very receptive to putting that on your head at first, or was there, like, a lot of pushback? Even, like, I mean, at the time, you sounded like you were living with your parents. Were they, like, super receptive to it, too?

It felt so complicated and expensive, and I didn't know where to start. Well, that was until I found DistroKid. DistroKid is the actual music distribution platform that I've been using for years now. It is seamless. It is easy. It allows me to post my music to every single streaming platform at an annual flat rate. Prices don't change. You don't pay per release.

It's just one price that you pay for the year, and you can upload as many songs as you want. There's no gatekeeping. It's just upload and go. And if you're collaborating with other artists, DistroKid makes the process so easy. No more awkward convos. You just split it up based on percentage and it automatically distributes royalties directly. But here's one of the most important things.

Unlike other distribution platforms, DistroKid takes no percentage of your royalties. So you as an independent artist get to keep 100% of your music royalties. So if and when you're ready to share your music with the world, check out Distro Kids. It's had my back for over six years now. Head to the description now to check it out for yourself at a discount. And now let's get back to Marshmello.

You also are an independent artist, correct? And you've always been independent.

There are some people out there who use that phrase.

Yeah.

But it was also like I think what you were saying earlier, like the music connected a ton.

Yeah.

And also like it was different than what people were doing right now. And it created this mystery of like one, who is Marshmello to anyone can connect with Marshmello.

Yeah.

And then also like the marketing that you guys were doing was just crazy and smart.

It's also very recognizable. Like you see that and you remember it. Yes. As you were saying. Yes. But also, like, if the music didn't connect, then this never would have happened. So it definitely comes from, like, I'd say the music's probably, like, the predominating factor to really push it.

Over the last few years, I've sat down with some of the greatest minds in all of music, and they've told me stories and given me some of the best tips that changed my entire perspective on creating. And I'm looking to give that to you because I'm hoping that it can help you just as much as it helped me.

My goal with Behind the Wall is to shine a light on the people's stories behind music, movies, and media. It's to inspire the next generation of creatives, but it's also to create the platform that I wish I had when I first started making music, when I first started being creative, when I first started making videos. Behind the Wall has taught me so much on this journey.

And I want to take these lessons that I've learned and help the next generation.

So I put together 15 of the most important and impactful lessons that I've learned on my own journey from these people directly, from some of the greatest minds in all of music, people like Chris Martin of Coldplay, Benny Blanco, Ryan Tedder, Julia Michaels, Amy Allen, Bonnie McKee, Savin Kotecha, so many of the greatest minds in all of music, people that I had the

pleasure and privilege of interviewing people like Ryan Tedder, who gave me one of the greatest pieces of advice that helped me on my own journey. People like Benny Blanco, who changed my entire perspective six years into making music. People like Marshmello, who taught me that as long as something sounds good to you, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks.

And I'm looking to pass this knowledge on to you, which will be 15 lessons from the greatest minds in music, which will be in the description completely for free. And when you get this PDF, you'll also be granted access to our brand new behind the wall community. No algorithms, no noise, just conversations and real people who care about what they create.

That's what we're looking to foster here for behind the wall. If that sounds like you, check it out in the description below and can't wait to see you there. And now let's get back to one of my favorite interviews I've ever done, Marshmello. One of my favorite things to talk about are the songs that I really connect with. And there are so many that you've made that I love.

We talked about Alone.

The next song to really take off for you was that Silence with Khalid. How'd that song come about?

You know what I mean?

I'm excited.

Location and Young Dumb and Broke.

What did he pull you out about?

How did you know that was what was called for?

Yeah.

How many years would you say was GarageBand to Alone?

Like,

Was that the first song that played on the radio for you? Yes. How did that feel?

And also like the label for Khalid is pushing it to radio as well. While you can be an independent artist and focus on everything else.

You know what I mean?

That's sick.

Yeah, that song's great too.

How did Friends come about?

Yeah, YouTube seems to be a real big turning point for you, especially with what you were talking about earlier with Alone. That video connected like no others. I even remember being my freshman year of college, seeing it, and then I just remember it connecting so much. And then everyone finds out that like, oh, where's this voice coming from?

And then you pitch it down and then you find out it's you.

amazing crazy you you did do a lot of promo there there's a ton of interviews that you were silent no pun intended for khalid yeah um and i saw an interview you did with ryan seacrest with ann marie ryan seacrest and ryan seacrest says to you which artist are you excited about any of the song about like us an artist that you're working with that you're collaborating with and you say Bastille.

And his reaction was, really? Which is really interesting. I love Bastille.

So phenomenal, incredible vocals. In my opinion, one of the most underrated bands today. And his reaction being like, really? And I don't think anyone could have... Also, Bastille has one of the best covers of any song ever. We Can't Stop Miley Cyrus. Oh, yeah. He's such a beast. I miss Dan. Like at the time, Bastille, like it's been a bit since they had a hit.

How did Alone come about? How did you make that song? Where did that song come from?

What made you want to work with Bastille and how did Happier come about?

Interesting.

Shout out.

Yeah, of course.

And human.

Yeah, that song hit number two on Billboard.

Was that like the song that really kind of changed? Like, there's like, Alone was the song that kind of catapulted you into the spotlight. Was that the one that kind of pushed you into mainstream in a sense?

It's interesting because I've never heard you do an interview before, ever.

So nobody recognizes you when you don't have the helmet on?

Back then, no. Well, no, just never, really.

So you can just, like, walk around and do whatever you want. Has that been helpful, like, for your sanity, for your mental health?

That's great. Yeah. and you you've had so many songs have connected with so many people one of the artists that truly made an impact that you worked with was juice world tell me about what it was like working with him and then yeah let's just start there sure juice world i remember i was in this house right below us is the living room and now let's start all the way back i'm going to coachella

That's crazy.

And you're just watching a movie and, like, recording music.

Wow.

He's like, turn the Eminem beat back on.

You know, Roddy Ricch does the Mellow Made It Right tag.

But didn't Juice WRLD do one of them too?

You probably have an album full of songs with Juice, probably.

Wow.

Yeah.

I really love that all the songs that you worked on, you're not touching anymore because it was like the last song, like the last version that he heard is the version that everyone hears. I really love that.

Yeah So come come and go that song connected with so many people and what you did what we actually have here is Before I understand this is the you have the original guitar.

Shout out.

When did you get that guitar?

It's like a celebration.

I think it's like 2.5 billion streams.

A lot of people will see you be a DJ, but they probably don't know how many instruments that you play as well.

Oh, I didn't know you mix the songs.

Amazing.

They're like, what? And drums.

And 2.5 billion people, it's just impossible to even imagine.

How do you know when a song is done or you don't?

If you've ever resonated with the stories, videos, mission of Behind the Wall and want to help support us further, then this message is for you. If you've ever wanted to rep Behind the Wall, well, this is the first time it's ever going to happen because we are launching merch to the public. I started this series to shine a light on the people and stories behind music, movies, and media.

But it was also to build the platform I wish I had when I first started being a creator. And my hope with Behind the Wall is to inspire the next generation. And now for the first time ever, we are launching Behind the Wall merch to the public. But I've been wearing this merch for years. I wear this hoodie. This is my Behind the Wall interview hoodie.

This has been the hoodie that's been across from so many stories, from so many incredible artists, songwriters, producers. This is the day one hat. This is the first Behind the Wall merch item that has ever been made. Four years ago, I started wearing this hat. It's been my thinking cap.

And this is the mug that I've been drinking coffee out of, as well as hot chocolate at night when working on all things marshmallow, including this video. Where are we going? Behind the wall. And this jacket is my favorite piece of clothing I've ever owned. I've worn it for some of the most important days of my entire life. including this marshmallow interview.

I wore it to the Grammys, and I also wore it when one of the biggest dreams of my entire life came true, and that video is officially coming soon. But first, I wasn't looking to put out just merch. I wanted to create something that means something, something that says you create things that matter to you. You care about the process. You care about building something real.

Whether you make music, art, podcasts, or videos and have ever wanted to support what we do here at Behind the Wall, this is the perfect way to do it. So please check out Behind the Wall's first ever live merch for you all in the description below. And I can't wait to continue to go Behind the Wall with you all. And now let's get back to going Behind the Wall with Marshmello.

We've talked about a lot of the songs that were hits for you, songs that I connected with.

What is one of the songs that you really connect with that you made that you don't really get to talk about it?

I think the song is also like super relatable though because I think throughout our lives there's always a point where we are alone there's always a point we're trying to find community and the music video really stands out because I think a lot of people can relate to this idea of being an outsider these 2.5 billion people can yeah and when we get to the end you get to see all these people kind of accepting because you're doing something that you love in the video which is probably would you say that was kind of what was happening in real life at the time too that kind of mirror

You mean, like, video recording sessions?

So nobody recognizes you when you don't have the helmet on? I always felt like I had nothing to lose. I mean, some people might like see the success and assume certain things.

Yeah.

And he freestyled that song as well.

That's awesome.

But yeah. Before we started this, you talked about two other songs as well that really stood out. Be Kind and Jerk with Oliver Tree.

Be Kind.

Grammy-winning songwriter.

She painted like a thing upside down on SNL while singing the song.

Yeah, the music video stood out a ton, just like Miranda Cosgrove in Happier.

Yeah, that was... That was like her first comeback since iCarly, that I saw her in.

You, I mean, we just talked about so many hits that you've done.

Yeah.

So many things that you've done in music. What would you say to those people who might call you an industry plant?

I connect so much with your story as someone who like six years ago was working in a call center, tried to do everything they could to like made silly little videos and is like on his iPhone recording his 2015 MacBook pro put out three to five videos a day for three years. That's crazy. And all like now having the opportunities that I have now, like, To be able to talk to people like you.

To be able to talk to people like Benny Blanco.

And Ryan Tedder.

And Amy Allen.

And of course, Marshmello. It is insane to have such an incredible opportunity and to be able to do it just because of the work that was put into it. And I completely understand and connect with your story because of it. One of the main reasons I started this series was to shine a light on the people and stories behind music, movies, and media.

But it was also to inspire every underdog to go for it.

100%, man.

and it's so incredible to hear your story today because it you really get to see it come to fruition what is a piece of advice you have for anyone out there who wants to get into this for a career that wants to do something that has a dream that may see themselves as an underdog but want to go for it totally all right there's a thought i always have a memory

Wow.

It's really cool to hear the story of Alone. It was such a defining moment for you and where you are now. But I always like to go into how an artist gets to the point that they are a music producer. How did this all start for you, for music?

I'm still in disbelief that you know how it is so I love it I love it and to end off I think it would be really great to bring out because I believe you have the original helmet is that right I sure do give me that thing dun dun dun here you can hold it first if you want to show the camera

Look at that. What do we think? This is the one that's 14 pounds?

Oh, my gosh.

Wait, wait, wait.

Oh, does that keep you cool?

Making music.

This is the embodiment of like, just start and you'll figure it out.

Marshmallow, it has been such an honor to chat with you today.

Hopefully many more conversations in the future. I would love to. I have to say that your mission as an artist, a creator, has been so inspiring to me, to so many people out there. Thank you for always doing the music. I don't think it matters who's under the helmet. I think what does matter is how the music brings people together.

So thank you for everything that you do.

And thank you for being a part of this. It's such an honor to have been the first official Marshmello interview.

That's sweet.

I believe you have the original helmet. Is that right?

If you're a full-time artist, producer, creative, you're probably always on the move. And I completely understand because I'm always traveling to do interviews. I'm constantly living at airports, Airbnbs, and hotels. And I always got to use the same annoying public Wi-Fi where all my information is free for anyone to grab. Well, four years ago, I was so tired of this.

I did some research on VPNs, and I found my favorite VPN, NordVPN. No matter where I am, it works across all devices, and I can connect up to 10 devices, which is great for me because I'm constantly living half of my life on the internet.

And on top of that, NordVPN lets you change your location to any one of 118 different countries, which helped me a ton when I wanted to rewatch Prison Break last year when it wasn't available anywhere else. But I could get it on another streaming service if I changed my location to the UK. This is actually true. This actually happened. It even has a feature that protects you from threats.

When you're browsing the internet and a sketchy website comes up or all these annoying things that you have to deal with that you don't even realize is there, NordVPN works in the background to block malware phishing schemes. Plus, it's crazy fast and probably the best VPN I've ever used. And honestly, I only want to work with brands that I truly believe in, and NordVPN is one of them.

So if you want to try it for yourself, go to nordvpn.com slash wall to get a big discount on a two-year plan, plus four months free. And there's zero risk because it comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. So head to the description, nordvpn.com slash wall to try it out today. But now it's time to get back to one of my favorite interviews ever, Marshmallow.

Where did the idea for Marshmello come from?

Really?

Shut up, man.

Mr. Wellers don't like it when you say his name by the bog, city boy.

Mr. Wellers likes them universal donors, don't you know?

Okay. All right. Thank you. Thank you for that idea, Hunter.

Where did you find out about this?

Highway to hell.

i knew this one would get to you it's like i imagine if i had like willem defoe's green goblin like yes use your hatred i knew this one would get to you only fools are heroes clancy i knew this one would get to you marcus answered with half with a half grin or well

He's being so coy. In spite of everything you've done for her, eventually she will hate you. Eventually she will hate you, Clancy. In this world, it's drip or drown, Spider-Man.

Right.

Give me the letter. Give me the letter.

Oh, no.

Everything you can get away from me, Batman.

But regardless, if he was, you know, guilty or not, he still is capable of committing that crime, his sleep. So there still is a danger there potentially. Right. Either way, he is a danger to the people around him. Right.

Yeah. Thousand percent.

I haven't slept walked, but my brother slept walked once when I was a kid. My mom woke me up in the middle of the night because she was kind of confused what was going on too. And I'm sure you probably were around your brother when he was sleep walking. It's kind of weird. They're in like a trance. Yeah, it's kind of scary. They're not responsive normally.

And they're just kind of like, they'll look at you, but they don't see you. They look straight through you. It is kind of scary. It is. But we ended up just sending him right back to bed. He went back to bed and everything was fine.

I just wanted to chime in really fast. I'm sure we've all heard the myth about how you're not supposed to wake a sleepwalker, right? And the myth is saying that it's going to cause them some form of like

medical issue like a heart attack or something like you i'm sure as kids you probably told josh that if you wake your brother up something bad's gonna happen to him right i think it's gonna be bad for his health i just yell at him from across the room yeah joel what are you doing I'm here to debunk that myth. It's not true. You can wake someone who's sleepwalking.

The only danger with it is that they might be in a frightened state when you do wake them up due to confusion. You don't know why they're there. And that's where that danger can come from is because they're going to wake up in a fight or flight mode. So it's not usually recommended to wake someone up who is sleepwalking. Just if you can guide them back to their bed and they'll go to sleep.

You only should wake them up if they are potentially going to cause harm to themselves or others.

Sleep racism. Yeah, right, right.

Probably not.

I mean, it does sound like a dream.

So I actually kind of want to trigger warning about the cat, but I kind of want to bring the cat back to that first case. So I'm a cat owner. And if I was being, you know, aggressive towards my cats like that, they would attack me. They would scratch me. They would yell. And if that didn't wake me up, isn't it kind of also possible that your wife screaming wouldn't wake you up? True. Right.

I mean, doesn't that kind of help?

No.

Yeah, it's like plastic. The term Twinkie defense is an umbrella term that, in the most general sense, refers to an unconventional defensive argument, as we know. The term originated in the 1979 trial of Dan White, a San Francisco politician who was charged with first-degree murder.

A testifying psychiatrist pointed out that White's consumption of sugary foods, such as Twinkies, could lead to diminished capacity.

Oh, 100%.

Got a sugar high.

I mean, like I said earlier, I think Scott was innocent. I do think it's a legitimate defense. I'm probably on the same line as Austin where it's going to be extremely rare for it to be, you know, legitimate and it's going to get abused and it's going to be insanely hard to prove. But I do believe that it's real. There's science to back it up.

Unlike a lot of the other things that I'm very, you know, Are you talking about the paranormal? I was going to bring it up, but yeah.

I think it depends on the evidence to back it up. If they have no history of sleepwalking, that'd be, that'd be a little difficult.

Life out, everybody.

Total. Das ist unglaublich.

Was war deine erste Vorstellung von Josh, als du ihn gesehen hast?

Ich erinnere mich an High School. Das war verrückt.

300.000.

Ich glaube, das ist Pachamama genannt. Ja, das ist eine Übersetzung für Muttergott.

So interesting. It's like a rainforest. Yeah.

Er war wütend und hat ihn genommen und ins Meer gerannt.

It's like you can't excuse it. It's just one of those things where it's like anywhere else you could take it to a museum, wherever you want, but it's like you can't expect that to be okay. Everyone would be like, yeah, we're fine with that, right? Mother, God, sure, why not?

Es war einfach so friedlich. Und er ist so, okay, dann lass uns. Mit dem, mit der Leidenschaft des Christus, mit dem Licht, wie zwischendurch.

Aber er hat es noch nicht angefangen, also wird es schon Jahre dauern. Aber es wird wirklich interessant werden. Wie visualisierst du so etwas? Er macht großartige Projekte. Er verbirgt sich vollständig in die ganze Sache.

Nenn fünf andere Chase-Movies. Nenn fünf. Speed.

Er ist ein bisschen... Er ist immer so gewesen, aber es scheint so zu sein. Das ist, weshalb er so gut war in Lethal Weapon und alles, weil er so verrückt war.

Oder er sagt, ich wurde als Alkoholiker geboren. Ich erinnere mich als Kind, und ich hatte in der 5. Klasse, ich erinnere mich, wie groß die News war, als er rauskam und sie hatten die Audio-Rekorde von ihm, als er seine DUI und so und den Rant und wir wurden von Hollywood verblendet. Ich bin wie, warum weiß ich das als Kind?

We'll have to go through those a little bit later. Try the voice effects. I love technology. I love technology.

Ich kann mir vorstellen, dass nach so einem Moment, in dem die ganze Welt dich als einen schlechten Mann sieht, das kommt raus. Ich meine, das ist schwierig zu behandeln. Und nach diesem Punkt ist es so, dass wenn die Leute dich immer noch lieben und dich akzeptieren, und wenn du weißt, dass Gott es auch, dann ist es sofort.

Ich denke, es wird einfacher, weil ich denke, okay, vielleicht sollte ich einfach nur mich selbst sein oder wer ich sein soll. We know why he was blacklisted from Hollywood?

No, I mean, he came out, his DUI thing, did you ever hear that? He had an audio recording where it's like he's going off on Jewish people, a lot of bad stuff. And so it just was an avalanche of bad things. Yeah, really interesting podcast, though. I love that. Very good. Rogan's hearing a lot of Bible lately, dude. For real, man. He is. Do you hear that Wesley Huff guy? Yeah.

Dude, that was, I mean, it's working for sure, I think. He's definitely curious.

And he is, he is...

Yeah. There was stuff that like I was reminded of college though. Like I completely forgot like how people counted days back then. I remember learning that and like it's just crazy how much I don't retain. And when you meet people like that, that can just like, not even just the retain, like pronunciation of all of those things. Yeah. Knowing the years. I'm like, that's some other level, dude.

Hey guys, we have a Black Beanie that's for $9.99. You get custom patches on these things and it would be incredible if you went to sundaycool.com, you get your quote today.

Es war noch nie einfacher, Jesus in dieser Zeit zu finden.

Ich meine, in der Welt, ich denke nicht. Ich meine, welche Plattform haben wir in der Geschichte jemals so groß, um Jesus auf dem Display zu haben? Ich denke, das ist das coolste Ding. Ja, aber es ist furchtbar, weil sie TikTok wegnehmen.

Ja, und viele Leute schauen einfach nur auf Jesus als eine echte Person. Und sie negieren nicht nur seine Existenz mehr, sondern schauen einfach nur auf ihn. Das ist wirklich cool.

Ja, ich denke, dass es viele ist. Es ist einfach so, dass sie es für sich selbst wissen wollen. Sie wollen ihren eigenen. Und ich denke, das ist einfach so. Die Leute, die jetzt große Plattformen bekommen, reden wirklich über wirklich echte Dinge.

Es gibt einen Grund, warum Industriepläne existieren. Wie einfach wäre es für sie, einen Podcast zu fundieren, ein paar Leute zu bezahlen, eine bestimmte Agenda zu öffnen, bestimmte Geschichten mehr zu machen? Es muss nicht so auf deinem Gesicht stehen, sondern wir wollen, dass du dich auf diese Geschichte befasst.

That's so funny. Guys, these are traps.

Ja, ich weiß nicht, ob es etwas verrücktes gibt, außer das eine Satellitenbild, das wir gesehen haben, das ich nicht weiß, ob es legit war oder nicht. Die drei Feuerzeuge gehen gleichzeitig aus in verschiedenen Bereichen. Es war ein Aerial-Video.

Wie Arsonisten. Do we know their names? No. Interesting. Yeah. See, if there was a conspiracy around it, if you needed to cause chaos, smart cities, whatever, I mean, that's just like, if they're the people that get caught, then they need to be, hey, this person is at blame. Let me know their name, because if not, then it's like... We can't really trust that. That's kind of scary.

If you know the people who did it then. And the water reservoir. Yeah, that's a big one.

Oh Mann. Es ist furchtbar.

Ja, das ist alles, was ich gesehen habe. Ich habe jemanden's Video gesehen, wie sie die Zeiten verbreiten, als sie das Haus verlassen und so. Und es ist der Wind, Alter. Wie einfach außerhalb ihres Hauses.

It was blowing like 50, 60 miles an hour and you gust and you could just see embers. I'm like, that is so terrifying. Are you talking about the RingCam footage where it was like blowing through? Possibly. I can't remember. Yeah, I think there was some and then some of the car.

Great thinking, guys. Scary stuff. One guy literally bought sprinklers because he had a fire like three or four years ago. He bought a bunch of hoses and a bunch of sprinklers in preparation. He set those out and it literally was the only safe house on the block, I think. Just because he had the sprinklers going on his roof.

Ich kann es nicht vorstellen.

It's a bunch of Chaos. Ja, und es ist schwer, über Konspiratoren zu sprechen, weil es eigentlich so real ist für viele Leute.

And because of one type of fish? Yeah. It only exists there?

We can go without one fish. There's millions of types of species of fish.

Ehrlich gesagt, ja. Ich habe gerade eine News-Story gesehen, wo... Weißt du, wie ich es nicht... Vielleicht hast du es gewusst, vielleicht nicht. Ich wusste nicht, wie wir Internet von Land zu Land verbinden. Es sind literally Wände im Ozean. Ich habe das letztes Jahr gelernt, richtig? Ja. Und die News hat viel darüber gesprochen.

Ich habe drei oder vier Clips von großen News-Sourcen gesehen, wie... This is how our internet works. And China threatened to... They're doing it. Yeah, they're cutting the lines. But my thing is... Wow. Conspiracy, possibly. It's like when we start seeing people talk more and more about these things, especially American news, it makes you wonder, they're trying to plant that information.

So if they ever do cut the internet... We don't know if that's China. We don't know if that's Russia. It could be our own people. We would have no idea whatsoever. And so, I mean, all the comments were like, great, now they're planning to shut down their internet. Like, it's calling.

die amerikanische Leben genommen haben, die Leben ungewöhnlicher Menschen. Und so ist es so, was ist das? Weißt du, sie stoppen das nicht. Sie haben nicht nur gesagt, weißt du was, das war uns falsch. Es ist so, nein, sie sind nur secretiv darüber. Sie müssen es sein.

Und sobald wir bei ihnen sind, ist es wie, wir sind zu spät. Es ist wie, ja, wir haben das vor fünf Jahren gemacht. Du wirst tot, wenn das passiert. Also, keine Sorge. Wir haben keine Kontrolle.

Dude, it looked fake. And then I went to the website and it was real. It's such a good website and all these people. I'm like, wait, no, Enron is a real company. I know, but it's like historically bankrupt.

Ich weiß nicht, warum sie es Enron nennen würden. Enron hat so eine negative Konsequenz. Es hat eine negative Konsequenz. Es hat eine negative Konsequenz. Es hat eine negative Konsequenz.

Yeah, like, I don't know what they were doing, but they, they went, they screwed over a lot of people back in like, it was the 90s, I think. Oh, yeah. And yeah, it was, I remember the logo of it at all and everything. They did a fantastic job of... The website's incredible.

Okay. That's so great. That's good, though, because it literally... It's like a TED-Talk. The guy's giving a big speech. And it was so convincing. And I'm like, this seems like a bad idea.

It's so frustrating. Big oil. Big milk. I think milk's behind it.

That was crazy. Yeah. Rigged. Yeah. Chocolate milk is pretty good. I had two bottles of it every Saturday and Sunday. And I started my day like that. And I'm like, I want every day to start like this. I love chocolate milk. Speaking of chocolate milk.

I don't think pooping in people's yards is normal, but I don't, I mean, there's probably some kid that has to go pick up your poop. They're like, go pick up the dog's poop. And they're like, whose is this? Let's clean this.

There's no way I would have respected her wishes.

How often are you guys taking, were you guys taking like mid, like concert poops or peas or like emergency stuff?

Ich bin völlig überzeugt, dass jedes Mal, wenn jemand eine Wardrobe-Change an einem Konzert macht, es ist, weil sie Pumpe brauchten. There you go. I just think they're like, we have to make an excuse. Honestly, that would make her so much more relatable. We just knew she was just exploding the bathroom up. Give me something new, I can't wear this anymore.

That's kind of cool, though.

It takes more time to board the plane than to actually...

What about the Pooh-Bass? We still haven't heard a Pooh-Story. He's trying to change the subject.

I mean, it's just... Any embarrassing ones? When's the last time you pooped your pants?

Yeah, the turtle head.

Es war schrecklich. Also du kackst dich auf, du bist voll mit Anxia.

Very good one. I love that each poop story always has a different element of panic. Like Hardy's one, it was like having no pants. Like pooping on a hotel floor. There's always aspects of it that really make it special.

I feel like Christian bands had such more hardcore names than most.

Dude. Were they just supposed to run at each other? Oh mein Gott.

A human with an owl head would be the scariest thing, I think.

He was like choking.

My back wisdom teeth are completely cracked and everything. It's crazy. I can literally go back and I can touch where it's cracked and you can feel the softness of it, dude.

It hurts so bad. So when are you doing this? I'm hoping next month, but the thing is, we have so much junk happening next month, so I might try to push too much. You gotta get her done, dude. I know, it's gonna require a ton of surgery. Getherdone.com, man.

Diamond dust?

Microscopic pieces all over. What does that do?

Yeah, and we can say whatever we want, like people just don't know what fog is, but it's like, this is multiple reports, people are saying this is abnormal, and it's like, if a lot of people are thinking the same thing, there's got to be something up, whether it is natural or whatever, but like, Das ist super seltsam.

What in the world? It was very strange. I'm just getting you some diamonds, babe.

Breathe in like a diamond.

What's wrong with... That just seems weird. Frothy? Yeah, I don't like that word. Oh, yeah. As soon as he said it, I'm like... It was kind of like how people say moist. Like, I'm like... As soon as he said frothy, I'm like... Moist and slacks are way worse.

Frothy. I'm still tripping out. Frothy slacks.

Oh yeah, but I've been... Yeah. Who knows? Dude, that North Carolina hurricane still trips me out. Yeah. Just that pattern, that whole thing, dude. That was crazy.

Dude, it's wild. There's been so much as big stories that I've just completely forgot about. Luigi, die Drohnen, der Hurrikan. Luigi, hast du das gehört?

Because they probably embrace the meme aspect of it. Like, just like, that's great.

Yeah, for real, yeah.

Ja, ja, ja.

Ja. Ja. It's really interesting what... I don't think he's a hero, by the way.

You shouldn't just kill people.

No, there's justice and then there's just like... There's other ways to do it. Maybe just like pants him in front of a crowd or something. Do it. Make it go viral, man. Pull down his slacks, right?

Way better option than shooting. Absolutely. Kann ich dir erzählen, was ich in diesem britischen Spiel-Show gefunden habe? Das ist eine Geschichte, die ich erzählen möchte. Bitte. Es ist unglaublich. Mein Bruder hat es mir gerade gesendet. Anscheinend, nicht zu lange her, etwa 10, 15 Jahre her, gab es dieses Show in Britannien, das sie machten.

Und sie wollten sieben Menschen, Zivilisten, trainieren, um Astronauten zu werden. In drei Wochen. Und dann werden sie sie in den Raum senden. Wow. Was sie nicht wussten, war, dass es alles ein Prank war. Oh mein Gott, das ist großartig. Sie haben eigentlich Auditionen gemacht, sie haben Tests gemacht und so weiter.

Sie haben sieben Leute getroffen, die den globalen Publikum, den sie suchen wollten. Sie haben diese Leute getroffen und für drei Wochen haben sie sie trainiert, alle auf der Kamera, alle dokumentiert und nur, um sie die meisten verrückten Dinge zu machen, wie schwarze Schuhe und Yoga-Posen und so weiter. Sie machen sie einfach, weil sie Episoden davon machen. Ja, ja, ja.

They've got screens that are showing their travel. They're all looking at it. There's even a point where they say they're in front of the planet Uranus. And they have to do a pledge. And they literally say, I stand before Uranus. And so they're just making content and stuff. And then on their fifth day up there in space, they say, because they've prepped them for this, for one spacewalk.

So they get up there, they prep them and everything. Everyone's in their suits. And when they open up the door, they walk out and it's a live studio audience. Everyone's completely shocked. Some people are laughing. Some people are angry. It's like, dude, it was, I just couldn't believe they pulled that off. I think that's like, I don't know why.

I don't know why we don't do fake reality shows more. It's so entertaining. Ethics maybe. Ja, ich meine, ich meine, ich denke, es ist so, es gab einen, den ich als Kind erinnere. Es war ein Show auf MTV oder wie oder Sci-Fi oder so etwas, aber sie fakten einen Horrorfilm. Und es hat es einfach wie einen dieser günstigen Horrorfilme gemacht.

Und so wie die Tätigkeit war schrecklich, aber sie filmten es alles, aber es war alles für ein Realitätsshow. Und so waren sie einfach sie die ganze Zeit zeigen, sie machen all diese Stunts und acten schrecklich. Und dann war es so, dass es eigentlich kein Film gab. Sorry, I don't think I would take that well.

Das war der erste Film, den ich jemals gespielt habe. Das war der erste Mal, dass ich mit Kelsey zusammengehalten habe. Wir sind mit meinem Freund nach Hause gegangen. Ich habe ihr einen schrecklichen Mac & Cheese gemacht. Ich habe immer den extra Mac & Cheese-Powder genommen. Und dann habe ich es doppelt gemacht. Es war nur Nudeln und Noten-Powder.

Ich habe also nur einen Schredded-Cheese-Powder genommen. Und es war schrecklich. Aber wir saßen unten und wir haben Blair Witch Project gesehen. Und ich habe sie komplett überzeugt, dass es eine echte Sache war. Oh mein Gott.

Yeah, we keep getting messages from Mr. Captain Cody. But yeah, dude, all these weird noises. What could it possibly be?

It's weird. It's really strange just how like old some of these ideas are. Oh yeah. And how like cross-culturally like it's everywhere, man.

The Jedi. Ralph Fiennes.

Who's in it too?

Ja.

Who's hurting you? Your mother.

I was trying to help you.

Tom Holland, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Matt Damon, Charlize Theron. It's going to be baller. That is a lot of big actors. Wow.

It's not going to come out forever, though. No.

They did that for Batman vs. Superman. They've teased that for like 10 years. I'm like, just do it.

It's like, oh, so frustrating.

Still waiting on GTA 6. Okay.

Subscribe to our YouTube. Some commenter was like, why would I pay for Patreon if I get discount codes? You get discount codes, you're gonna buy the merch anyway. Might as well get more content and discounts on that merch. No, it's just, I'm sorry, I'm frothy right now.

Thank you for being here. Great stories. Hey, the song was epic. Love it. Hey, your song was epic first, so I appreciate that. Alright, guys.

Verdammt verrückt. Verrückt. Verrückt. Verrückt. Verrückt. Verrückt. Verrückt.

Totally original.

Never. Especially not for the past 30 years. Yeah.

Listen, this is not the place to talk about conspiracies right now. This is the wrong... We're not roguing, okay?

Was ist die Geschichte hinter dem?

Ist es interessant, dass jede Kultur das hat? Etwas wie das. Ja, sicher. Es ist sehr seltsam, besonders die Dinge, die sich verändern. Es ist sehr normal. Es macht dich denken, Mann. Das ist so schrecklich.

Chris Angel, mind free.

That is how much magic runs through my veins because I'm a mind freak. Explain that. I can't.

Hi, I'm Mike Rowe at Dirty Jobs.

2025 is just around the corner. And you know what's really magical? Super softies. Right, Josh? Right, Andy. Sundaycool.com. The softest shirts in the world. Smoking hot deals. Right, Josh? Right, Anthony? So right. So right. You got a lot of events happening in 2025. You could order shirts, hats, stickers. Sundaycool.com. Right, Josh? Right, Anthony? Right, Lil?

Sizzle, sizzle. Get them while they're hot. And Merry Christmas. And Merry Christmas. Ah!

But it's cool, right? But it's ribbiting. Am I correct?

I don't got time.

How'd they find them dogs? How'd they find them dogs?

Blasphemy!

They're like, oh, my God, there's a balloon.

Sure.

Yeah, yeah.

But have you seen the new stuff?

Okay.

I said it, I said it again, uh, Personally, me, I grew up in the street. I don't know my family, mom or dad. I grew up in one of the biggest orphanage in Haiti, which is the Saint-Denis du Carrefour. After this was destroyed, BNS Social took me to this monster house, right? And then,

things started happening okay we went to people to the i mean to the police station everywhere we go they said no we're lying we're lying we're lying nobody believe us because his guys control the whole the whole thing he's like he's like he's like a mafia boss it's not only him they got priests pastors doctors out there they're still out there doing the same thing okay and then what happened is those people when they said though we lie and we need money with this with that that's him

that's the picture he paints he paint the wall like and and the outside he's like a smooth guy but in the inside is the devil so that's why he tell people they need papers you know they need paper they want to say to united states they need money that this is that no and it's like 200 kids cannot come to life the same guys and then you've been to dead in haiti and then you went to the dominican probably do it again you went to mexico you left mother to laser and all that

So I want people to understand when your kids tell you something, just pay attention to it. Pay attention to it. Don't just say, yo, you lying and you need money. This guy is a white guy. He got money now. You know, don't do that. Just listen to your kids. Listen to every kid.

Defense attorney Daniel Taylor says they are going to reevaluate the case and go from there.

I was kind of, like, sick to my stomach.

And Almeida made good on that promise, according to Polson. Said, you're friends with Jack.

You know that cop I'm cool with? I'm like, yeah. And he was like, yo, he was trying to throw some dirt on your name type shit. And he was saying some shit happened and like, you know, you was working with some people and shit like that.

You know, that boy Buggin', like, he's tripping, you feel me? Like, he must have got some names mixed up or something, you feel me?

I was a little nervous, but, you know, I got to brush it off. Like, you know, I can't show that. I got to keep the poker face on. But inside, I was like, you know, of course I was nervous. You know, there was guns around and shit. Shit could go any way, you know?

I felt like there was a magnifying glass on me. Some people heard that, you know, and they were like, what the fuck is that cop saying? Why the fuck is that cop saying that? But then some people were like, nah, that cop must be bugging out. Like, no, not Daniel, not him.

Yeah, basically. You know, I couldn't be like, no, I'm straight, I'm straight. Like, I kind of, like, had to go. I'd be looked at even more funny, you know what I'm saying?

You know what I was thinking? That there was no way that we were going to get out of that position.

I admitted to it because I was telling them the honest conversation and the thing, breaking it down to them. I was working with this person, and I'm breaking it down to them.

I think of it all together, and I'd be like, damn, I wish I did have a fucking time machine.

There's been a bunch of close calls. You know, I try to avoid it, you know what I'm saying? But there have been a bunch of close calls.

I don't know. I just, I wake up and I should be hoping for the best. You know, I can't even tell you. Honestly, you know, I just go with the flow. Now I'm in the situation where I'm around a whole bunch of other known violent gang members and it's all the way fucked up, you know what I'm saying?

It just depends on who's on the unit and who comes through the door.

Like, I could be good today and the last week and the week before that, but then they let the wrong face come through here.

So I can see every new face that comes into the jail, you know?

You know, because if I don't see who's coming into jail, then I might not see somebody and I might not know, like, you know, that person knows me. And when I wake up, something's going to happen, you know what I'm saying?

This kid approached me with a knife in his pocket and, you know, he was like, we heard you, you was working with the police and shit. Now you got to get the fuck up out of here or you're going to get stabbed.

Tell her it's an emergency. I said it's an emergency and he needs to talk as soon as possible, please.

What's going on? I'm so stressed out, Doogie. You're the only number I can call. I'm so stressed out.

Walk me through that stop. They brought me into the station after.

Get a job, you know, work, stay out of the way, just do what I have to do. You know, stay away from all the... Negative stuff.

Eventually, it got to the point where we barely played basketball and we just smoked weed.

Then they put us out the car. They found it on the girl and they locked me up too, saying that they'd seen me handed to her.

Two officers sit him down and start pressing him.

They want him to inform, to snitch.

It was kind of quick, you know? It was like in and out.

Like, I don't want to go to jail. And that was really it.

They just wanted one gun. And then they were like, you'll be done. Basically, just this one time type shit. You know what I'm saying?

I was just like, all right, whatever. You know?

Well, I signed it. And then when I signed, they were like, you have a week.

At first, they kind of made it seem like I still owe them.

The second time, I'm like, okay, if I don't do this, then what are they going to be on some shit with me? So let me just do this one last time.

I was supposed to be done. But after they just kept calling me and calling me and calling me and texting me, do you got anything? Do you got anything? After that, it just kept going and going and going.

I wasn't going to win. I just did whatever they wanted. I mean, whatever they wanted me to do, I would do it.

I obviously felt guilty, no matter who it was. You know what I'm saying?

And they pulled us over, and then I was sitting in the car. Basically, there was state police and everybody there.

You know, I was just kind of like looking down. It was raining, drizzling a little bit. Like, you know, like I didn't pay no mind. And then he like took down my name and he's like, how do you spell it? And I looked up at him and I'm like, I seen who it was.

I was trying to figure out what happened. Is he fucking with you? He's like, no, he's mad cool. He used to go to high school with me. He's cool, you know what I'm saying? He was like, yeah, they communicate and all that, and they had each other's phone numbers and all that. They were cool.

Jack was telling me, like, yo, that cop tells me everything.

What you want to know the craziest part? Because my mom, babes, me and my brothers all together. And out of nowhere, I locked up. And then my dad was calling my name, and I started going to the slow thing. And he said, stop playing with me. And I started to act slow. And then as soon as he said that, we was speeding all the way, running lights, going to the hospital.

And then next thing you know, I was seizing on the table. They said, no, we're going to have to go on his brain tonight. Ever since then, I had 13 brain surgeries. And that's how many times my personality has changed. And that's something that you don't hear from a terminally ill child. They have five months to live. I'm going to keep on going into my gas tanks right now.

And that's when God calls you home. You never know when God's going to call you home. I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for my dad. I know he's pretty proud of me, and I'm pretty proud of him, too. And I'd like to thank President Trump, because if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be here today.

Thanks, Charlie. I'm delighted to be on. Elbridge Colby is one of the few people in sort of advanced and elite Washington, D.C. circles who has actually been a friend of the Donald Trump program from the very beginning, especially in foreign policy.

And he's someone who's seen as a threat by a lot of other insiders in Washington, by those who want to see America kind of return to the unsuccessful foreign policy of Joe Biden and Barack Obama and indeed George W. Bush.

So Bridge Colby is someone who can sort of act as an intellectual axle to bring together these sort of different components of the machine to advance President Trump's foreign policy and America First foreign policy. And there are people who want to prevent that from happening.

They want to throw spanners in the works, basically, and prevent Colby from being nominated to the number three slot in the Pentagon. And they want to fill the Trump administration to the extent they can with neoconservatives and people who are going to be trying to foil Donald Trump's plans. And unfortunately, Senator Tom Cotton has gone along with this to some degree.

And I have to credit you, Charlie, for being the first person to speak out on X and basically call out Senator Cotton for doing the bidding of people like Bill Kristol.

Well, he would be the undersecretary for policy, which, as the name suggests, is responsible for a lot of the formulation of exactly how America, how our defense apparatus is going to approach other nations around the world. It's a very important strategic role. And so you can see why there is a great deal of scrutiny being applied to Bridge Colby.

And, you know, you can also see why people who don't like the president's agenda and don't like what Bridge Colby represents, why they think that if they can sabotage this, they'll actually score a lot of points and be able to really cripple what Donald Trump's trying to do in reorienting American foreign policy towards America's national interest.

So it's a critical policymaking grand strategy kind of position. And Bridge Colby is exactly the right person for it. And there's an awful lot of pressure, however, being brought to bear sort of behind the scenes. There's this whispering campaign against him, putting out all sorts of just nasty rumors because there's no honest case to be made against this gentleman.

He really is someone who comes from a patriotic family. He's someone who has, again, sort of withstood all the pressures to conform within Washington. And now the question is, will this whispering campaign now being led perhaps by Senator Cotton, succeed in derailing this gentleman who would be a true asset to President Trump's agenda.

Speak to that. Yeah, you know, the difference between Trump 1 and today is that Trump 1 had so many of these disloyal staffers who were able to restrain the president and keep his foreign policy from going in the direction where he wanted to take it. President Trump really does have, first of all, an America first view, yes. but also an America's first view.

He sees the strategic importance of our own hemisphere as being paramount, which is why Secretary Rubio spent his first trip going to the Caribbean and to Central America. It's why we've been talking about Greenland so much. We have to defend our own hemisphere, keep the influence of people like China. from reaching into our own backyard.

When it comes to Europe, what's absolutely essential for Europe's own defense is that the Europeans themselves be the primary providers, that they be fully invested, not only in terms of the money they spend for the military that they have, but also that they should be willing to be the first line of defense of their own continent and their own borders. Right now, that's not the case.

Right now, they are expecting America to to pay for their defense. And they're expecting ultimately if their borders are attacked by Russia or anyone else, that it's American lives that are going to come out and save them.

So you've got a Europe that's actually become steadily weaker over the past 30 years since the end of the Cold War because of their over-reliance on America and their unwillingness to pony up either the men or the moral commitment in order to defend themselves. So Trump is changing all of that.
