I can't say I enjoyed that that was very uncomfortable. But what's weird to me more than anything is that you seem to enjoy it? You enjoyed the freak out when you move

it. No, I like what I said. I like that. You can override your body with your brain to do things that seem like they're not real. Yeah, like doesn't see, you know, it's real because of what you do to your body, but most people see all the things they're doing think it's a magic trick, right? I think it's a trait like, okay. It's a trick like he's not holding his

breath and you've done that thing with the sword. Will you've gone through your body?

Yeah, but It was not very thick and it was through right here. I didn't go get the lingo through the organs

like this guy did and no but

I think you can obviously he did it

right and swallowing. This is what killed them. So

he got really he thought he could do anything. So he's like, I'm going to swallow this type of thing and then I'm going to bring it up. He swallowed it and he couldn't bring it up and then he fell asleep and it ruptured his heart he woke up. They found him cold. Oh boy internal bleeding James Christ. That

is the thing about these extreme Feats, right? Is that your you possibly might be pushing the boundaries of what's physically possible which means you could die like Houdini like Houdini died from getting punched in the stomach. Yeah. How does a punch to the stomach kill you? Well, so

normally it like I had Kimbo Slice punch me in the stomach. Did you really? Ouch, yeah, and then he I had him do it again. And then I felt bad. I don't want to make him keep doing it because it wasn't you know, but because you know, you can train to take a punch. Yeah, obviously so I basically had my trainer Rich Beretta throw heavy (expletive) kicked me in the stomach do everything and I trained for a long like a year just to take a punch from anybody and oh, yeah, Ken's

Kimbo boom. Oh, then I was like

and then I said to him do it again. So and by the way, I'm not even in top physical. So I said do it again and then I but I could have obviously could be kept going. So boom and I did that based on Houdini. Right? Right. So but here's the thing. So Houdini would do this on stage every night and it's a it's a great thing in the show. It's like look Baba every any 10 strongest people knowing he's come Poncho. And so the end these kids think he's invisible Invincible right like he could like this is Houdini Man of Steel, whatever right? So he's sleeping in his dressing room these two It's kids one kids like watch out stronger than a punch Houdini in the stomach really on asleep. Yes, and as you know, that's dangerous because you don't have a wall up so he ruptured something but he's a workaholic so the guy is in a lot of pain whether he might maybe it wasn't related. Maybe it's something different. Maybe he had, you know pendous at who knows right? He's in a lot of pain, but he wouldn't let the audience down so he wouldn't quit his show so he did his show in at the end of show. He's upside down the water tank everything else when he shouldn't have been He should have been in the hospital. But instead he did the show that night collapsed it on. The stage was not from the water tank. But right after the water tank was rushed to a hospital and died in the hospital. And

what was the diagnosis? What did he die from walls

aren't you know 1926 right little Voodoo. They don't ya

wow. So when you mean that that's the thing about someone who does something that pushes it to the edge like that. I mean when someone sees you Your breath for 20 minutes what's fascinating about is not just that it's hard to do but that you might die. Yeah, right.

Yeah. Yeah or some people say oh, but what's how's he doing it? Right? What's the trigger? You know, so there's all different interpretations. But

the worry the thing that Thrills people.

Yeah. It's like the you know that well, yeah the idea that something could go wrong. That's why everybody watched Evel Knievel because he might like white on and he often did like that. But Spike. Yeah, what

do you do? This thrill of getting to that edge is very dangerous, right? Because you keep pushing

there was a danger but I feel like if you rehearse and practice and put the best team and don't just do crazy things without like a plan then I feel like the danger is like Shore the dangers there but also rode my motorcycle here, which is also stored in I've lost a lot of friends on bikes. Yeah, right. So sure I get what you're saying and I understand all that you seem to like thrills. Well, I mean, I like Adventures you like

riding motorcycles yells a venture. That is an adventure. Yeah, it's I mean I look at people to do it every day and I go that's a brave

remembers how (expletive) you're allowed to like we've so that's that's kind of amazing. You can't

find me like ahead. Give it a shot (expletive) you're here. You know, how where do you see this? Do you have like a grand vision of your life in terms of like these stunts that you do like? Do you have like some ultimate threshold that you'd like to get to we

have to take a break? I want to make sure that I'm okay. Okay, maybe

bleeding. Yeah, we'll take a break. We'll be right back. All right, so we had to clean up your wound. Yeah, it was fine. Yeah, you seem to enjoy it you really do if you were laughing while they were cleaning it up and checking it and like it's good. We're good. There's just what was it the blood what was it? It was bothering you. He's drinking all the water prepare for

swallowing a frog I just felt, you know too much of the magic becoming real.

Mr. Magic. How much water do you have to drink

probably

do what you want to do? Oh, we'll see

mmm. What's

up, do you have to drink it as a certain speaks? I've seen people that can chug. These they just shove the whole thing down their face. It's almost like a magic trick in itself. They can drink it. And yeah,

those guys are just cause I had like the guy that was the fastest work on it with me. But

how many do you have to drink you've drank three so far?

Yeah plus the two out there. But yeah

so fives you have to drink eight total. Do you need a bucket or anything to throw the Frog up in do we have a bucket ice bucket? That doesn't seem like enough fluid though bucket. Can this of American flag bucket in the back that big one? Oh,

perfect. Oh,

look at that how convenient this poor frog has no idea.

He's a magical frog how do you know he's real

hmm. He's real.

Well, you don't know that could be a magic trick.

Well, if it is, it's amazing. You should sell these two people that don't want biological frogs like a (expletive) life, right? I mean, he's looking at me. He's moving around. He's bobbing his head. He's trying to get the (expletive) out. He's making the thing with the throat. Where do you look at me trying to get That's a real frog kids. No doubt. When did you start doing this the Frog thing? It's not enough. Was

it overflows? There's a guy called. There was a guy called the human aquarium and it's so the thing about most of the acts that I'm doing by the way like night after night. Usually the people that did them it was like their one acts as one guy called the human aquarium and he was a guy could swallow frogs and bring them up and he would do it you'd see him swallow them and then you'd see him bring them up. So it wasn't magical was like a skill set. I would usually what I do is I put them in my stomach keep them in there for like two hours and then bring them up and freak you out right see and I'd have a gallon of water my X I have an aquarium that baking soda gets rid of the acid no food 36 hours. And then once I drink this where it account where four liters so just under ago so

so did you not eat for 36 hours in preparation for this? Yes. That's a lot of not eating for this poor frogs. Worst moment of his life was poor little dude, Jamie just in case you don't think he's real. He's real. Oh, there's more than one in there. Now. That's just him. It's just a lusion. I

thought there was a little one there. It's

a decent-sized frog too by the way. I wouldn't want to swallow frog that large

Mark. Twain has a quote. He says eat a live frog first thing in the morning and nothing worse could happen for the rest of your day.

By

the way back to the James Nestor book The One yessing deep was sent me talks about that's really amazing, which is in one of my favorite Parts in there. He talks about how Coral communicates can I read this thing? I sure. Yeah, sure. So he talks about it's one of my favorite things. He talks about it. So amazing. So, let's see where deep Okay, so, like a bunch of notes what

happened you using to read from

iBooks just because you can keep all the books there and you

highlight things. Yeah with iBook. Yeah, of course, I didn't know you can

hello. Yeah. Yeah and then keep all of your books here, right?

I know I do that on my phone, but I didn't know you can highlight. I've rarely read on the phone to I usually use the Kindle. Yeah,

I don't only use this is the thing. I like live by so it's like ruined my life, but also also had helped that somehow I guess some way let's see I'll take me second pull it up.

I just like the Kindle because it looks like paper, you

know, the paper white ones. Yeah, and they're yeah and they're easier on the eyes is yes that Ricky's on the eyes as well. Okay, so I said can I just read a LOL? Yeah. Okay. So that's part of what the Aquanauts on Aquarius are trying to find out. They're also trying to crack the more mystical Marine riddles like the secret behind corals telepathic communication. This is so crazy would be right to it every year on the same day at the same hour usually within the same minute corals of the same species, although separated by thousands of miles. suddenly spawn and perfect synchronicity The dates and times vary from year to year for reasons only the coral nose stranger still while one species of coral spawns during one hour another species right next to it waits for a different hour or a different day or a different week before spawning and synchronicity with its own species distant seems to have no effect. If you broke off a chunk of coral and placed in a bucket beneath a sink in London. That chunk would in most cases Spa At the same time as other Coral of the same species around the world, which is crazy. Like you could take a piece of coral break it off put it in London and another call of the same species will in synchronicity spawn at the exact same time from have no idea why the synchronous spawn is essential for Coral survival Coral colonies must continuously expand outward to thrive expand outward to thrive to remain healthy and strong. They must breathe outside of their genes. people with neighboring colonies once released to the surface the coral sperm and eggs have only about 30 minutes to fuse any longer any longer and the coral eggs and sperm will either dissipate or die off researchers have found that if the spawning is just 15 minutes out of sync Coral colonies chances of survival or greatly reduced Coral is the largest biological structure on the planet and covers a hundred and seventy-five thousand square miles of the sea floor and it can communicate Way far more sophisticated than anyone ever thought and yet Coral is one of the most primitive animals on Earth Coral has no eyes no ears and no brain Gracie. It's insane. Yeah, that's what I thought it was

you but it's fascinating to that. You just have no idea why or how I mean, what is the what's the mechanism for their communication the fact that if something's under a sink in London it syncs up with coral the same species on the other side of the planet, like what is happening like

one of the most futuristic minds of our lifestyles is Jim Cameron, I think like Avatar

and Terminator 2 would like the machines taking a little while. Yeah. I truly he's like is that I think

we're gonna look back and be like, wow, he really predicted a lot.

He knew some (expletive) the trees all communicating

with each other. Yeah, well

you've if you've read about the mycelium and the the fungus underneath the soil that actually the trees utilize it through the root structures and they communicate through that. Yeah, there's some sort of there's some sort of a micro rise of relationship that fungus has with with these trees and they actually somehow or another communicate through each other as well. They're like using the soil like this. That's crazy. Yeah would think of soil is being dirt? Right? Just but it's there's lots of in there. Yeah all sorts of biological life living that soil. And yes and these trees in different plants actually through their root structure communicate. And use the use the the fungi that live in the soil and it's very very Paul stamets who's a wizard when it comes to my ecology and and talking about fungus and he's got some amazing work that he's done just his whole life studying mushrooms. It's like and so Advanced when he talks to you about it. Like you just really get this feeling like there's something going on that. We don't totally understand like the largest animal they like fungus is kind of an animal it breathes oxygen. And breathe out carbon dioxide. So the weather create it is pretty relationship is fungus that mushrooms have with the Earth is in some ways more similar to us than it is to plants because plants are breathing in carbon dioxide obviously and breathing out on you. So the fungus are closer to Funk. Yeah, and they're living with these things and there's a group of fungi. I guess in the Pacific Northwest. It's the largest Living creature other than I guess like biological organism. You would say was a coral reef, but there's something in the Pacific Northwest. That's it it (expletive) enormous and it's just one interconnected mushroom structure. Wow. It's very heavy. Yeah, and obviously the right ones can bring you to (expletive) the right ones can connect you to alien life and yeah, you know the future and yeah tell you what you're doing wrong with the planet. Yeah. Yeah. So there's something there's something going on with these things

a different part of your Our Consciousness

but we're just very egocentric and arrogant and our ideas about what the human race means to the rest of the planet because we have this ability to manipulate things and send texts and emails and it's just about our proportions

basically just because our fingers right ability to like, yeah,

but we think that's so important because it's so important to us because it's so significant like the ability to watch a television show or not be able to the ability to fly in a plane or not. Those things are so significant that we think of them as being the most significant things in the world, but meanwhile Well, there's some animals like like when you see a flock of birds fly in synchronicity and some sort of strange dance and you like how the (expletive) are they doing there? Yeah. No one knows. They've really don't know nothing. There's all this guesswork. They've not really sure exactly what's going on. How do they know how to travel thousands of miles every season and go back to the place where they spawned like, they don't know. They don't know like how does salmon salmon figure out a way to get all the way back to where they were born? They make their way all the way through the river to the ocean. And then when it's time to rock and roll they get all the way back and they have to get back to that one spot. They can't get the just any old River. They won't they won't make it they won't survive. They won't spawn. They won't do it. They have to get back to the place where they belong and something in their little salmon brains are in their salmon biological system lets them know and we don't know what it is. We don't know what it is, but we (expletive) up and we (expletive) these River structures and then they die and they die off of the Pacific Northwest is it they had a huge problem with that? At and they didn't understand it when they first put these dams in place these salmon would just pull up and they try to redistribute them to other places and they don't like nope. I need to go back to where I'm from. It's weird man biological life is weird and amazing.

It is amazing and funny, right? Yeah. We think we're so because

we can do things that other ones can't do but they can do things we can't do. Yeah, we just don't put a high priority on what they can do. Yeah for whatever egocentric reason.

Yeah, but I was Sykes swimming in a tonga in the Pacific Northwest and it was with humpback whales and I was with my daughter and we looked at the mother and the calf, you know, I mean, you know swimming we're watching them and it was it's it's the most beautiful overwhelming moment. I'll show you after some footage, but then I was alone. And I was like holding my breath and kind of freediving next to them. And and you know, when you're not on scoob, it's not they're happy to be around you and I'm free diving and swimming with the mother and the baby. I'm looking at the mother and I'm certain certain that she's just looking at me but in the nicest way like in the most peaceful, it was just it's not like a shark guy. That's like whoa. This thing is like yeah, so I'm like certain that. She's like being trying to communicate something. So I'm still in the same breath own community and I go like this. I opened my arms up and turn to the Like this something like that and the mother mimics the humpback mimics me and turns right towards me and goes like this, right so now we're swimming together and I'm like this a kicking I had fins on and the the humpback is doing the mother's doing that to me and I'm swimming in synchronicity with with the mother and the baby's father and then as soon as I'm like done from here and I go back down she goes back down and it was like I wanted to cry. But yeah, it's like think like I'm gentle dance but also their brains are so much bigger than our but of course are so yeah.
