What happens when I meet Salt Bae for the first time?

Nick DiGiovanni 0:00

In this video, I'm going to spend 24 hours with Salpe.

Nick DiGiovanni 0:10

It is currently just over 4 a.m. in Istanbul, Turkey. And we are on our way to meet Salpe. We flew in last night, and he insisted that we go on a 10-mile run at 5 or 6 in the morning. And then I said no. And then he said, yes. So here we are. Ready? I just still don't know why I'm doing this. Seriously, I don't. I said no like three times. Good morning. Good morning. Very strong. Gorgeous. Hey, you got to get your pinky out, Nick.

What is the experience of running with Salt Bae like?

Nick DiGiovanni 0:48

Oh, yeah.

Unknown 0:51

There you go. That looks better. All right, here we go.

Nick DiGiovanni 0:59

We just had like a bunch of security guards spawned out of nowhere. Like out of completely nowhere. This is beautiful. Oh yeah, you guys look great. Picturesque. Oh, here we go. All right. Here we go. So you just have a car that follows us the whole time? They just follow you? This is the one. Nice little fish break we had there. Nice little fish break. I like that a lot actually.

Unknown 1:29

Mile in. How you feeling? We're only a mile in. I don't know. I think so. We're a mile in only. How are you feeling on your run right now? Unbelievable. You can't tell. We just started to pick up the pace. Nick's getting absolutely cooked. They are sprinting up there. We just straight up got security guard with us. Support vehicle. We're in the middle of the highway. Oh, thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Nick DiGiovanni 1:50

What a great water break. How far are we?

Unknown 1:54

Okay, didn't answer my question. How far are we? Looks like we're speeding up a little. Salt Bae's putting on the jets.

Nick DiGiovanni 2:06

Oh, you gotta step out of them. I got boxed out by the thing.

Unknown 2:14

Oh, great. Salt Bae's been generous enough to give Nick his ankle weights. Go, go, go, go, go. He's just sprinting out of nowhere to make the leg. He's like a monk. He's just hanging out. Let's go. Let's go.

Nick DiGiovanni 2:29

Direct uphill.

How does Salt Bae train and stay fit?

Nick DiGiovanni 2:36

No idea what we're doing the rest of the day. You're going to find out at the same time as I am.

Salt Bae 2:40

Great, great, great job.

Nick DiGiovanni 2:42

This is your gym. All custom gold.

Unknown 2:48

Gold machines, gold ceilings.

Nick DiGiovanni 2:50

Almost everything. Finished our workout. Quick stretch. Well, he does not work out.

Unknown 3:02

I've never seen this stretch in my whole life, Nick. Let me tell you that.

Nick DiGiovanni 3:05

I'm getting twisted in every direction. Honestly, I think 90% of these stretches I've never seen before. He's just doing full-on acrobatics over there. It's not even stretching. I've never seen anything like it. How are you feeling right now? Amazing. So we're sitting down for a quick breakfast in his restaurant. How many restaurants do you have? 30. This is a ridiculous amount of veggies. This is crazy. This is what you have every day?

Salt Bae 3:34

Yes, after the gym.

Nick DiGiovanni 3:36

Great service. Wow. Dang. This was my favorite food when I was a kid, actually, was radish. It's not delicious. This is a crazy portion.

Unknown 3:44

Should I wear this the whole day? Yeah, the whole day. You got to.

Nick DiGiovanni 4:26

Your shirt? Oh my god.

Nick DiGiovanni 4:31

Dude, what a gift that you got there. Are you kidding me? Thank you. Seriously. Wow, this is... That's amazing. How do I look?

Salt Bae 4:39

Good. Today, you did a great job. You ran together. He just iced me out out of nowhere.

Nick DiGiovanni 4:48

Look at all the diamonds. There's a bunch of diamonds on. There's like one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. There's more than I can count. I don't know. Crazy. Let's see how she makes it. She rolls out the dough, which looks like a dough that's probably made from just flour and water. That's it. And then so cheese and herbs and spinach. And then she seals it up and that's it. Boom. That looks great. It looks incredible. Oh my God. Wow. It's like a really, really, really soft, smooth quesadilla.
