I Met My Editor For The First Time... (He's Insane)

5,000 years ago, an editor was born. And over the millennia, he casually began changing the course of history. He invented the fire, electricity, the automobile. He created the [music] world's first computer. He founded a company you may have heard of called Apple. He edited a few films like Avatar, The Lord of the Rings. very casually. That was until he heard whispers of a great empire being forged. He would eventually give away all his wealth in private [music] islands to work as a humble editor under a great and I really stress great supreme leader. [cough and clears throat] Sorry. Over the next few years, he [music] would work tireless hours turning around some of the greatest content [music] humanity has ever seen. And quickly, people began to notice. [music] And despite the astronomical success, the supreme leader and the humble editor [music] had never met. For great oceans separated them. That is until [music] the empire grew so large that oceans became mere puddles. And for the first time in history, the time had arrived. [music] >> [music] [music] >> So, one of the main things about meeting Alex is that he's a very manly man with his majestic beard and all of that. And so to compensate for my lack of apparent masculinity, we've got a power moves book. And I'm going to be studying hard the entire flight because the objective is to carry out at least three power moves on Alex before the trip ends. Some of these are golden. [music] Here's what I can use on Alex. When entering a male public bathroom with more than one urinal, find a subject using one of the urinals. So, I'll follow follow in Alex. And even if there's five free, I'll just stand right behind him and wait to use his one. And then he asked, "What are you doing?" I just say, "Waiting in line." [laughter] So, um, we are basically at the exit and I want to feel Canada's coldness for the first time. So, >> without a jumper. >> Yeah. Let's step outside cuz I mean it's so hot in here. Like, >> I feel like it's uh >> it's going to make it worse. >> There wasn't even any snow on the ground. It might be kind of like bikini weather. It might be quite refreshing. Oh, [laughter] okay. That's That's >> You can see that breath. That's icy. Holy hell, that's icy. This is crazy. I was like, "Haha, it's so funny. It's kind of cold." No, no, no. It's not even funny. this. I don't know how people survive here. I think solely just on how freezing this is. I couldn't live here. And I probably imagine all the Calgarians are like, "It's not even snowing. Wait, let's shut up. It's freezing in this [ __ ] >> corn casserole. [sighs] Get in. Get in." All right, we finally made it. Do you want to know what the definition of a power move is? An act performed upon a person or persons to increase your status while simultaneously decreasing the target social rank which is uh known as an [ __ ] move. Um or you can bring unexpected increased universal benefit to all. Legend move. Ooh, I've got a good power move for you. When you're in your bed with your significant other and they wake up in the morning to quickly go to the toilet, make the bed entirely. When they return to the room, they will be disgruntled and flustered knowing that you've determined that their day has begun. [laughter] >> That is rude. >> This is it. These are the final moments before we actually go and see Alex. Um, this is this is crazy. This is so many years in the making. He has been editing my content for how long now? Two, three years. >> Just over two years, I think. >> This is just so wild. Finally meeting him in person. We're just going to be heading out. We're going to meet him at Bass Pro, which is apparently one of his favorite stores. Oh, Alex, what a character. Uh, and then I don't know, we're gonna do shooting and ice hockey game and all sorts today. So, I'm kind of excited. It's an emotional moment for all of us >> uh at the Empire and gosh, I just uh don't know what to expect. All right, we are getting pretty close now. Okay, mission hunt for Alex. He is in this car park somewhere. We are in the moments of the countdown. How you feeling, Zaddy? Are you feeling you feeling nervous now? He's purposely parked. Oh my god. That's got to be him right. Look at that car. That is absolutely That's got [music] Alex written all over it. Oh my god. Alex, as you're editing this, cue the music because this is Look at him. >> [music] >> I'm Alex, the editor, and I edit for the News Daddy channel. >> Why editing? >> I sort of fell into it by accident. I started making my own content a while ago. Um, and I started my own business at the same time. So, I figured I could try and learn to edit better while making other people's content. And, uh, just so happened to find Dylan at some point. What made you want to apply at News Daddy? >> So, this one's a little indepth. Um, at the time of recording, we're in this weird state of the world where you can't necessarily trust news to be unbiased. And uh I think a lot of people feel that way like left or right or central in your political views. And I was watching Dylan for a while and found that he wasn't biased in any way. And when he had his job application going was if I if I wanted to work in the news sphere, I would want to work with someone that's unbiased. I wouldn't want my reputation to go in either direction. I I want to remain neutral and just report factual news. Um, and to this day, Dylan is known for being unbiased and just saying it how he is. And that's that's why I stay with you, man, is uh to stay in the truth. >> Hell yeah. Hell yeah. >> No sea. >> Oh my god, this is so long. This is years in the making. And we are actually Oh my god, his beard is more majestic in person. I can confirm. Donna, >> how are you? >> Oh, okay. So, now that we are here, I can reveal to you kind of what we're going to be doing. So, behind us is Alex's favorite store. I believe we are going to be doing shooting. We're going to be doing ice hockey game. >> Yeah. >> And Bass Pro and Alex's favorite restaurant. [music] >> Strip joint. >> Strip joint. More on that in a second. What is this? >> This is your Canadian welcome gift. Oh my. I've got a goodie bag. >> Oh my Oh my god. >> Oh yeah. >> Oh, that is bloody warm. >> Oh, that is so good. Yeah, cuz we're going to be needing this where we're going, isn't it? Is it going to be colder? >> The wind. The wind sucks. >> It socks with a moose. What is this? Toe warmers. Oh, this one looks cool. Oh, no way. This is cool. So, can I wear this tonight? >> Yeah. >> [ __ ] That's sick. Thank you so much, guys. That's amazing. >> It's almost too hot with this thing. You got to be prepared. >> All right, so Alex, we're going to need a a running commentary of what the hell this is. Cuz look at that. [music] >> So, this is like the biggest one in Canada. There's a better one. That's right. Bigger one in uh in America is a pyramid. It's like absolutely huge. I think that's the head office. And it has a hotel in it. >> A hotel? >> A hotel. Yeah. However, this one's the biggest one in Canada. The funds involved in this, they support ethical hunting, maintenance of the lands. It's a big culture. So, if you're watching this, you kind of don't like the animals. Like, it's ethically hunted. It's food, >> but it's also beautiful. And uh >> if you don't like this, how freaking dare you? This is Alex's moment. >> Yeah, I understand. But, you know, eat, we eat food. This is food. But besides that, it's outdoor stuff, too. So camping, hiking, like nature photography that you can take some amazing pictures out in the wild, but you need the gear to survive out there because if you notice, it's cold. [laughter] >> So I mean like look at the like detail of everything. Even the entrance like the handles are bones and you've got an it's just beautiful. Come on. >> What the hell is this? >> [laughter] >> Oh my lord. Oh my god. Look over there. >> An airplane on the ceiling. >> I was just trying to take in the sign of the entrance and I looked behind us. Try >> again. >> Oh my god. There's bears. Is that the real life size? >> A bear. >> That's a black bear. Yeah, >> that's a real bear. >> Yeah. >> So they're not as big. You could take one, right? They in a fight if you needed to. [music] >> No. No. That that thing was Guys, [laughter] Alex said you could take a bear. Look at the size. >> It would be fun to try. It would be fun to try. >> Oh, this is crazy, man. >> We've got to buy caps. [music] Even a pink one. >> Damn. Should I buy my first pink cap here? >> Hell yeah. So, down here is like clothing and boats and ATVs. [music] And then upstairs. You've got bows, you've got axes, you've got guns, you've got hunting gear and cookware. >> What's your favorite part about this place? >> The bows. >> Yeah. I bought my first compound boat here when I came with Sean when my first day in K. [music] And uh it got me into like archery again. I used to do it when I was a kid, but I kind of faded out and then I reignited that kind of passion [music] for archery since. And man, I I would love to see you get into it or at least trial. >> Alex [laughter] is such a diverse human being. This is also a man that is proficient with technology and editing [laughter] and and he's also hunting and bows and they've got a freaking waterfall. I'm sorry. I got to disrupt this for a second. They've got waterfalls. >> Look how happy Alex is. >> Oh my lord. >> You're telling me that's the size of a real moose? >> Yeah. >> Isn't it the weirdest animal in the world? >> Oh my god. That is huge. >> Yeah. >> That's Dylan Moose. That's Alex Moose. And as you can see, I'm defeating him. He may have a more superior beyard, but as you can see from the battle that just went down over here, Dylan Moose wins. Damn. Am I >> Am I almost the same height as a He has got a little bit of a >> Yeah, it's easy to step >> in fairness. Really looking at me. >> So the black bear you run away or you fight it. The the >> make noise and >> bear you just give up. >> Grizzly is if Yeah. Curl up. I hope it has no interest in you. Have you seen the Revenant with Leo DiCaprio? >> No. Oh, there's a bear scene in there where he gets attacked and mold. It's the most realistic scene. >> It's horrific. It's horrific. I'll put that in. [screaming] [groaning] >> That's the size of a a polar bear. >> Wa! >> Look at those clothes. >> That is That's shocking. These are the worst bears. >> It's the worst you could ever come across. >> They're like super aggressive. game over. Dang. >> I've seen videos again of like people up in like the north of the north and they're like they chuck their gun and run because it's like what's the point? Like [laughter] just piss it off by trying. Damn. >> There's a famous one in B, not a polar bear, grizzly bear called the boss. And it's being hit by a train and it's still alive. >> A train? >> Yeah. It's like a [clears throat] celebrity bear in B. >> Damn. Why is the chair so thick? >> Because it's so big out here. And like you'll see how vast it is when we start driving to B. You can just get an RV and just drive for a while and like there's nothing around so you have to bring all this like kit like barbecues, big chairs, comfort. Yeah, this is a war. I didn't realize how big they are. >> Sorry. Every time like I just get shocked and I have to I see something. Oh my gosh. >> Hell of a mustache. >> Look how pretty it is. >> That is weird. Damn. That low key it's kind of like the the sparseness of my mustache. has got my teeth. [laughter] >> It'd be cool to get you measured up for a bow. >> Yeah. >> And then when you're in the States, I can buy you a bow. >> Damn. >> I wanted to, but you can't get that home. [music] [music] >> Oh, that's another nice cat. He loves his hats. Wait till he finds the cowboy hats. Uh, so they compound the weight. So when you pull it back, you can get 70 lb of force in this, which is it can go through a deer. But the recurves, you can get them strong, too, but you have to rely on your strength to pull it back. This, you have to pull it back, but once you get past a certain point, you can keep it and it doesn't burden you at all. >> So is this like what Daryl uses in Walking Dead. >> He uses a crossbow, which is around the corner. So I'll show you a crossbow. So I recently bought a crossbow. I still haven't fired it. >> So these are like more rifles, right? So you uh you have a scope. you you you have to pull it back on the floor usually because there's so much weight >> really. >> And there's different types of crossbows. There's mini handhelds. You you've got big ones, small ones. They've been doing it since ever, right? This is how we've always fed ourselves. >> Yeah, that's wild. >> This is a tradition I think we should always keep because we never know like you civilians come and go, right? So, if you don't know how to make your own food, at least prepare it like >> casserole. >> Yeah. End of end of the world. We're all going to you like all 1 million of us [laughter] are are going to go with Alex. So now I think we head um to a hockey game which will be pretty sick. First first time doing that. It's going to be a lot of first times in this trip. >> Cinnamon. Oh yeah. >> Oh my god, they're so good. >> Okay, so we are trying um Alex's nuts. [laughter] Hot >> which Oh, they are warm. >> Warm nuts in your hand like your mouth. nuts. [laughter] >> Is this Bass Pro like tradition? >> Yeah. Every time we leave, we kind of end up with these. >> They smell fantastic. >> Yeah. So, >> you want to touch nuts? >> Touch nuts. Oh, >> yeah. >> How's that in your mouth? >> That's good. Mhm. >> Oh my god. Right. >> Woo. >> And then you get like a high so you feel good about what you bought. >> Okay, we are now at the hockey game. First ever hockey game. And we are we've got our uh jerseys. Damn, there's kind of a vibe with my uh my fit. All right, this is just outside the stadium. >> We've made it in. Now we need to find our seats. >> At this point, with Alex and I having zero understanding [music] of hockey rules, we began just to absorb the vibes and pretend to know what the hell was going on. I also saw it as a perfect opportunity to carry out [music] the first power move. But instead of making Alex feel uncomfortable, he embraced it. [music] Bastard. >> First hockey game together with Alex. What did you think? >> Yeah, it was cool. It was cool. It was good vibes. The first thing he did when I came when he came outside was a deep breath and he was like the contrast. >> I'm not a sporty guy. >> But Alex [laughter] headphones. >> Yeah. The air defenders. >> We've got so much more to do. Like and sub right. Alex, tell them right now. >> Like and subscribe. I work hard because we got so much to do. All right. Next location drop now. >> So, we just got our Starbucks drinks. I had no idea what kind of man Alex was. >> Banana >> to show the diversity yet again of this this human being. What is this thing? >> Is it banana matcha? It's like this foam banana cheese. >> Okay. Can I try it? >> That's a lot of foam. >> It's kind of tasty. I'm not going to lie. >> And I just got a flat white. So, there's nothing really exciting about that. >> I want to try yours. >> Oh my god. >> I spat in his uh banana coffee. That was my [laughter] power move. So, just letting everyone know. So, one thing that we do know about you is that you do you've done a lot of different things in your life. [laughter] What are some of the jobs you've done before editing? >> Oh, man. Uh, too many to remember, but I'll I'll try linearally from leaving school. So, I left school pretty much unable to read and write properly. And, uh, I learned to spell on uh MSN chat, if you're old enough to remember what that is. [laughter] And uh I learned to read by the internet basically. I was born at the right time that the internet was like free access and I could get a hold of anything really. Um that led me to be I guess more creative. I was writing a blog at like 16 and I did my jewelry apprenticeship when I was about 16 when I left school. Uh which is a 5-year long apprenticeship which I didn't complete because the trade was being annihilated by the emergence of 3D printing and castings things like that. like I could learn to make a ring by hand, but a company could then take that product and and turn it into a ring, thousands of them, and sell them all. From then I got out of that trade, but just kept it as a side hobby. Um, and I got into retail. I got into restaurant work. I worked as security as a dorman. I worked in clubs as like a barman. I uh worked on building sites as a laborer. I, you know, in every company I went to, I just worked my hardest, did my best. Um, and that led me to get the work ethic that I guess was sought after. And then when I started working for myself, I applied it to my own company. When I got Final Cut, the editing software we use at News Daddy, um, I didn't know how to use it. That's the mentality you have to have, like if you're going to do something, like go all in. You used your last bit of money to learn how to do Final Cut and you were sleeping in a shipping container. >> Yeah, that one I wouldn't recommend unless you're particularly happy to give up your creature comforts because [laughter] I remember like a good day would be if I earned enough money to go to the boulder bouldering center and have a shower [laughter] cuz I could bring my clothes in and wash them. And it meant that I could feel better that week. But it it was totally worth it cuz it to learn like a new software or a new skill and get good at it, you need time. And if you're at work all day and you only have spare time, you're too tired and unmotivated. It's hard to keep your ambition up. So if all of that's taken away and you have unlimited time now cuz all of your bills are taken care of, you know, you only have to earn a small amount to rent a studio like I was. It gave me time to think, to figure stuff out, and I turned it into my business. We started recording yoga channels, product photography, I website building, anything I could get. And then I found myself in Canada somehow. [laughter] And I'm still learning now. Like I'm not the best editor. Like the running joke here is that I just, [laughter] you know, I'm a [ __ ] I I make these stupid edits, but it's humor. But there's a place in the world for humor, too. So, like if you're not like, you know, a hyper professional person that's like type A and super organized, like there's still room for you in this world to be a clown and make people laugh and for that to make money. >> Okay, Alex is doing the intro. >> Oh, damn. Um, okay. We're here at Archery World, uh, which is a warehouse where you can fire arrows or shoot arrows. There's no fire involved in archery. And you're going to fire your first bow. Shoot your first bow. God damn it. [laughter] >> You retake. Alex, you did amazing on that one. And as you can tell, we are dressed for the occasion. We uh went to Bass Pro. We are twinning now. And now I feel more connected. >> All right. This is where Alex thrives, by the way. So, he is really going to cradle me in this one. So, >> yeah. And I was I'm here at day one for your first experience with a bow and arrow. >> Yeah. >> It's an honor. >> God, Alex is off. Look at him go. I know he is. >> This is crazy. Now, I'm not going to lie. The first few shots were tough, and I didn't think I was going to even hit near the target for the entire day. >> Damn. I just want to preface this. I haven't fired a recurve in a while. So, [laughter] >> look at him. He dropped his arrow. >> Immediately humiliate myself. >> Ooh, that was close. >> First time [music] hit. >> That was pretty good. >> But then I started to get the hang of it. I began feeling [music] this ancient hunter energy flow through my veins. Damn, this is kind of fun. Look at Look at All. In fact, I began to get so freaking good that I bet Alex is going to record a segment or something where he tries to redeem himself [music] when he gets home. >> You watching going to out arch me day one. >> That one was my closest one. Nice. >> So, I mean, not too far, you know, like that to that. Is that one yours? >> That was my last one. >> Damn. If >> I was aiming here, [laughter] if I gone to the right, it would have >> Look how close that is. That's crazy. That's better. Damn. Look at that. >> Oh my god. >> That's insane. You suck, Alex. Looks like we have done something. I don't [music] think it's bullseye, though. >> Yeah, it's it's on the red. Woohoo! Alex is editing this video with one hand confirmed. Damn. And there was a balloon here as well. And so we were aiming for the balloon. >> Got a nice Okay, so this is a couple of days later and I'm home um after my poor performance at Archery World. So I wanted to demonstrate the difference between a 70 lb compound bow and the 28 lb recurve bow that we were given Archery World. So, uh, to save some face on this channel, I just wanted to, uh, show you what I'm normally playing around with. >> All right. Do you guys want to have a go? >> Yeah. We [music] have finished our first archery session. What did you think? >> I'm impressed. Oh, really? >> Three, four like perfect shots in the middle. >> He is a natural >> and I failed massively. My recurve not used to it. >> It was really fun. I really enjoyed that. And I think the whole plan here was for Alex to get me to enjoy it so we can bond over yet another thing and we can message how many. >> Oh, you're going to get >> So yeah, I think it's it's freezing. Let's get >> many many many [music] many wish upon me. Lord, I [singing and music] don't cry no more. Don't look. [music] Okay, location number three. The freak are we, Alex? I don't know what the hell you're bringing me to. >> No, this isn't actually a strip club. This is Chicken Strips, and it's uh one of my favorite places to eat out here. And they have a chef here called the Kitchen Daddy. And uh he's made a a little special surprise for you. So, >> we're going to go find out what that is right now. Do you, sir? >> Thank you very much. >> Damn. Look at this. This looks crazy. >> [laughter] >> No freaking way. Oh my gosh. Oh, we're going to have to take so many pictures. >> So good to meet you. >> New hell. Yeah, this is crazy. Uh, so this is our creamsicle. >> Holy, that is delicious. >> Very good, huh? >> Yeah. Kitchen daddy cooking today, huh? >> Yeah, ma'am. We're all the way in Calgary and look at like the the signs and the the theme of it. If you were to look at that, you would be like, "That's News Daddy." And not only are the colors the same, but they literally have the chef and they called him Kitchener Daddy. >> Yeah. Well, we called him Kitchen Daddy before we even met you. >> What are the chances? This is literally made to be. >> Oh my gosh, that's amazing. >> All right, what are we going to do first? Ooh. I mean, >> yours Sha's favorite first jelly. Oh my god. Peanut butter and jelly fried chicken. >> Oh yeah, >> that is crazy. >> And the reason we met Kitchen Daddy is because when we would order online, we would leave a note that said, "Extra sauce, please, Daddy." And they gave us so much extra sauce to uh strip, >> right? >> Holy [ __ ] >> Oh my god. That is not something I thought would work. That works. That works. So good, man. This place is amazing. >> Oh my god. >> Oh my god. We got >> But I actually have one more strip for you guys. It's actually our special strip that we made for you coming in. >> No way. >> This is our special strip called the Dilly Millie. Oh. [music] [singing] Let [music] us say [music] [music] >> [music] >> We've been following the journey of News Daddy Empire from across the pond for a long time to celebrate your visit to Canada uh and that massive 1 million subscriber milestone on YouTube. Kitchen Daddy, as you can see over there, and the whole SJ team wanted to give you a welcome fit for a [music] leader. So, as of today, you have officially been immortalized on our menu. Please enjoy the first ever batch of the Dilly Millie. Ain't no way that is on the menu now. If we get people to come and try the dilly milly. Oh my gosh, that's amazing. It's newsworthy, crunchier than a corn casserole. [laughter] Alex, insert the edit right now. >> Corn casserole. >> H, and it's here for a limited time in your honor. Wow. Thank you for everything you do for the community. Now, let's see if the flavor is as supreme as the leader himself. >> Damn, that's amazing. Oh, it's even got bigger. [laughter] >> Can I just say this is like honestly one of the top moments since creating content. This moment right now. I just want to say it. That's truly insane, man. >> Thank you so much, man. [laughter] >> Oh man, that's so good. >> That is amazing. >> You guys are going to come drive and you subscribe to the channel. We have actually got an item on a menu in a restaurant. >> What did you do? [laughter] >> Man, thank you so much. [music] Give me one more hug, man. Guys, honestly, if you're in Calgary, I could not recommend this place enough. Strip joint. I'm here. And if you do it in time, you can get the dilly lily. Get the corn casserole special. >> Stripping my way to college. >> Okay, we are at location six or something like that. And I think this is our final location of the night. And it is the craziest one, >> the shooting range. Now, I don't know how much we can put on YouTube for this one, so we'll see. [music] >> That's a lot. Well, pretty average [music] first effort. Two. [laughter] >> You still messed up, >> Alex? You go. >> Me next. >> [music] [music] >> Okay, that is it for the day. We are finishing up and um we've got a big day tomorrow, don't we? >> Oh, yes. So, uh, we're just going to call it here and, um, >> sleep. >> Back to the adventures tomorrow. >> Mountains. >> Does it ever feel weird that you've got so many people on this channel that love you? >> Yeah, it's so strange. I'm not as cool as you think because I don't want people to think I'm cool. Like, you've seen scenes of me cutting wood and like I had a lot of comments like, "Oh, he's masculine." like I'm I'm a big wuss and I'm far behind as an adult because I squandered my youth and you know I ended up having to change my career at a late age and you know I'm I'm like a tough guy that can endure things but I'm I'm not an example to live by. So I I love the love that I get but have cooler people to admire. And there's one on this channel called Dylan [laughter] who is way younger than me. And he is he's kicking ass for life. Like I've never met someone I have more respect for than Dylan. It's why I turn up every day or do my best to support him. Like he he is an inspiration. And they say like never meet your heroes. So I almost didn't want Dylan to come and meet me [laughter] cuz I didn't want that like to change. But if anything, after this trip, it's like it's just more like I have more love for him and Maddie. Like they're they're the best team. Uh coolest company, >> guys. He's lying. I'm a massive disappointment. [laughter] Okay, day two. Um now we are heading out of this hotel and we're going to the next place, a place called B. Now, this is the place where everyone talks about going on holiday and all sorts. Just so you know, these are not all my bags. These are uh all of Maddiey's bags. This is what I came with. Just this one. [laughter] >> I'm a light packer. >> Oh, yeah. >> I didn't have a bag. I didn't check one. I just had this one. >> Oh, really? >> Hanging around waiting for Alex and uh Shauna. And I say waiting around like, you know, we're the ones that are early. It's not true. We were so late that they left and then now we're just waiting for them to complete everything that they are going to do for the day. >> Fit check for uh the car drive. This is just for the car drive. >> We have got so much to go in this video. This is absolutely not going in. >> Yes, it is. >> There he is. >> There's a lot of bags. >> Hey, >> good morning, Alex. >> Red jacket. >> Hello, Miss Queen. We are back. >> You ready? >> Yes. >> Alex, Daddy Alex, what are we doing today? Um, we were going to go to Valley Village. >> Valley Village. That's the secondhand place. Yeah. >> Yeah. We call it VV here. It's uh it's actually you get quality [music] stuff. It's one of Sean hates it. I love it. But we ran out of time as always. So, we're going to ski and it's in the mountains and it's a long drive. So, lots of scenic shots coming up and going to be in a wild place watching wild people do like rodeo on skis. [music] >> [music] >> Okay, we are at our next location. It's the next day as well and Alex has uh brought us to where the [ __ ] are we? >> Skijure in B. So skiure is like the uh burning man of Alberta. It's ski rodeo and uh unfortunately Dylan is not dressed appropriately. You look cold. >> Damn, Alex, we're just going straight in for that. So, uh, to save some time, I'll cut to the edit of Dylan in his new outfit. [music] >> Okay. So, it looks like we are getting to where things are. This is so crazy cuz it looks so like Canadian movie style. Man, this place is crazy, man. Yeah. Look, look at them all up there. >> This is where they're all looking like us with the hats and with like all of the fur coats. >> What's this like for you? >> I mean, they're playing Creed. It's perfect. Let's get out. >> Mikey brush with a huge battle. >> We just blocked that horse 35 kilometers. >> So, we arrive at this crazy event called Skiore where we're standing behind this huge crowd of people trying to watch these skiers get pulled along by horses and do these crazy jumps. But out of nowhere, because maybe they saw us filming, we got pulled onto the main stage right in front of the event. and hundreds of people. >> Okay. All right. So, thank you very much. All right. [laughter] Thank you. No problem. >> I don't know where Somehow we've got onto the the main stage, me and Alex. So, I don't know where we're going, Alex. Oh, how are we here? How do we get here? >> Oh my god. >> Whoa. [cheering] >> Holy [ __ ] What the hell? >> But it looks like there was a catch to getting access like this because the event organizers, they started gathering a small group of content creators and started to tell us that we were all about to walk out in front of hundreds if not thousands of people and do a fashion walk. What the hell, man? >> The style is what got you here. If you want to win, it's a personality competition. What the hell just happened? So, I don't know what the hell is going on. They're saying that we're now part of this fashion thing. Uh, just a couple seconds ago, we were driving here. Now, we're getting part of this. But luckily, I happen to have the whip. [laughter] So, this could be good. [cheering] [music] [cheering] My It's up time. Here we go. 3 2 1. [music] >> Fortunately, I did bring a secret weapon. And because as soon as people saw the whip and all immediately wanted to become sacrificial lambs, I don't blame them. I was asked yet again to carry out even more whipping in front of hundreds of more people. That was so random. Weird, right? That was so random. That would have That would have been so much better if we were together. >> I know. I know. I'm so awkward, though. I would have [ __ ] it up. >> That was That would have been the [laughter] amazing part, bro. We went on that that freaking thing and and and the camera died, man. >> There's no way in the very moment that that ended. >> I think we got some of it. >> Where are we going now? >> So, she wants you to do the whip by the horses. >> Oh, damn. >> She said, "You borrow props, you can come do stuff." Oh, and they all loved a good thrashing. I think it's about that time to stop the yapping and let's get go rocking. [screaming] >> That's going to be the intro for sure. [laughter] [cheering] >> Tyler Herbert, one of our team is here. Let's go. >> [laughter] >> Okay, so first thing that Alex said was, "Okay, we need to go somewhere to recalibrate somewhere quiet." [laughter] >> No, to be fair, I need that. That was the weirdest thing ever. What the hell just happened? >> At 9:00 a.m. this morning, you would be doing a fashion show. >> Yeah. >> So weird. And like the whole crowd is there. At least I have my whip. Alex, what are we doing? >> This is how much Kitchen Daddy knows me. He gave me an extra extra tray of peanut butter jelly. and extra sauce. >> That has been out of the fridge for so many hours. >> I'll regret nothing. [laughter] >> Alex has the stomach of a mountain man. >> And we have just got to some crazy little like I guess the center of this place. Is this B? >> Yeah, Middle B. Yeah. >> Isn't there some Isn't like some Game of Thrones reference like Middle Earth? Middle Earth. [laughter] >> What is that? >> Middle Earth. The Lord of the Rings. >> A Lord of the Rings. I >> still hasn't watched. I got through almost one full one, which I think I deserve a bit of credit from, which I'm not getting from Alex. >> Extended edition all in one day. But >> anyway, we are here in this beautiful scenic little town. Um, and they've got these giant cubes of ice. >> Yeah. What the hell is that for? >> Sort of thinks they're going to be chainsawed into shapes at some point. >> Oh, really? >> Probably an event. >> Damn. A skiore event. Who knows? >> Look at these little like log cabin things. It's so cozy in there. That's crazy. >> It gets better once we're on the main strip. Everywhere that we've been, Alex has just kept on saying, "It gets better. It gets better. >> Well, [laughter] yeah. So far, so far." You're right. >> And that was ski. It was a whirlwind of fashion, over stimulation, fur coats, and strangers [music] complimenting Alex on how beautiful he looks. So beautiful, in fact, that we just had to make [music] some time to snap some pictures, make some memories, and oh god, look at us. Aren't we delicious? >> [groaning] >> Well done, Alex. >> This is so funny. Alex has received so many compliments today. This is like peak Alex. So, 18th of January, Majestic Alex Day. [laughter] >> It'll be a sacred day in the Empire. Everyone who watches the channel, you don't have to go to work on Majestic Alex Day. Does that mean I don't have to go to work on that? >> It absolutely means that [laughter] next year. Woo! Man, I'm not going to lie, this this feels surreal [music] to be here looking like this in such a place like that. Look at all the [music] mountains, man. It's uh this is all because of YouTube. This is all because of YouTube. All 1 million of you [music] guys that we get to be in such a wild place. So, honestly, thank you all um for [music] all subscribing. every every whipping you've received has basically meant that we get to be out here and and do this, which is just so fun to make [music] videos for you guys. And I really do feel like this is this is like the next era. But with that out of the way, we had one more major surprise for Alex. So, we got back in the car and headed to the next location. Okay, Alex, we thought that you would love this one particularly. Uh, we're going to get you a a log cabin. First of all, as you're editing this, cue the music because I'm hoping this is an epic shot. Look [laughter] at this place. You've got the freaking snow on the roofs. You've got mounds of snow. We're going to be doing some jumping in here in a second. Woo! [laughter] That was softer than I thought. Oh, it's colder than I thought, too. Damn, look at that. >> Wo! Wow! Oh, look. I love >> Wo! It's really warm in here. All right, we are now having an Alex MTV Cribs room tour. [laughter] Show us what you got there, boy. >> This is my couch. >> Wa! God, >> this is my pet dog. Oh, >> wow. Right to the bedroom. Oh. Oh, [laughter] >> look at him. >> You know, you got those like teu trays that like work. I can like [laughter] edit. >> Oh, Alex, what the hell are we doing here in a log cabin surrounded by snow? And you even have, look at the antler freaking chandelier. Now, Alex at this point was so excited about his Teimu bath products that he completely missed the card that all 1 million of us wrote from the empire to him. I put the card down. He's ignoring it. Alex, thank you for being you. Love and whipping from all 1 million of us to [music] the news daddy. [laughter] >> 1 million whippings. >> 1 million. >> Thanks, guys. That's very kind. Now is for tour number two. Welcome to my crib. I mean, we don't have a lot to go around here, but if you come in here, we unlike Alex the uh modern man, us [laughter] real men, we burn our own wood. So, I have to figure that one out in a second. Quaint. >> Very quaint. Ooh, we got a cool table. What? Treasure hider. >> Treasure [laughter] hider. Oh, >> keep blankets and secrets in there. [laughter] >> And do you [clears throat] light it overnight or you make sure it's off? >> No, I leave it. You leave it. >> Really? >> Put a big log in and go to bed. And >> the house is always warm. >> Always warm. >> So good. >> What has been your favorite job that you've had so far? >> Ah, news daddy for sure. >> Really? >> Yeah, man. This has been the best job I've ever had. like my biggest fear is to somehow be left behind or so I'm always trying to innovate to stay on keep up with you and your company. But besides News Daddy, I guess jewelry like when I when I started doing it for myself cuz when I worked for companies, you had to make wedding rings all the time. Like you get so sick of making like a round gold ring. It's so boring. Oh, it's got a diamond. Who cares? But when I started doing my own jewelry, I was carving like skulls from wood and in laying them with metals. And then I would like do these giveaways where like you sign up to Patreon and then like I just give it to someone cuz like I I don't want to I don't want to like haggle over how much it costs and the value like whatever. Just sign up to my Patreon and win it. It was like peaceful. There's a much nicer way to like do that industry. Okay, let's light a fire if we can. Holy. No, seriously. You should feel how heavy that is. My that looks light. >> It is not light. Oh, >> your beard might be getting so long that it's bristling on your mic. >> Oh, sorry about my long beers. >> I thought about that earlier, actually. >> Don't worry about that. Seriously, do they give me matches >> in the duck? >> In the duck. >> That's just a duck. Oh, do they expect you to like come with your own fire starters? Why doesn't it come with instruction manual? Um, using the matches provided. Using the matches provided, light the newspaper under the kindling. Using the matches provided, but I see no matches. >> Look, dupes. You've done very well so far. You are excellent at archery. fire at shooting. Now you just go and get find those matches and I believe you can do it. It's the last piece on the survival guide of Alex. >> I reckon it was sabotage. Alex came in here and he stole he stole the matches. >> So, let's go confront our neighbor. So, let's hope there's no bears around here. Oh, here they are. Hello, neighbor. Got any matches for a [laughter] Sorry to disturb neighbor. I'm looking for some matches. You have any matches? >> I have a flint steel striker. >> They didn't give you matches. >> I don't think so. >> Cuz they definitely didn't give me They said they gave me a user M. Oh, look at you. Oh, it's so warm in here. What is that? >> Flint steel. >> What the What? [laughter] >> So, >> my testosterone isn't that high. >> Oh, >> let's go start a fire the old fashion. Woo. Uh, it's a little bit sad that we are having to ask Alex to light her fire, but [laughter] I guess a woman's got to do what a woman's got to do. I was already I was I was kind of like, man, he's going to be so disappointed when I bring Alex back. [laughter] I set up a freaking tripod. I was there. I was like, here, let's light a fire. And >> even pretend. I know. We delete [clears throat] this footage, man. >> Oh. Heat [music] up here. [music] [music] Yeah, essentially you can keep these on a key chain. Like what you need is >> you just need a blade >> or a key or a piece of rock. But that's how the ancient band did. What compelled you to buy this book, Dylan? >> I've had this book. I've had two of these books for like years since Australia. Feel how heavy that is. And I said, "One day this is going to come in handy." And this was the time. I haven't used any of them yet on Alex and unfortunately he's used some on me. All right, it is dinner time and so we actually have to go and drive to somewhere. I think it's like somewhere down there. Alex has got his head head gear on. >> Sir, sir, sir. Allow me, sir. Allow me, sir. >> Oh, thank you very much. >> Wow, this is beautiful. This might be This might be the nicest date that I've ever been on. That's for sure. Look at this. Stunning. And even got two little chairs for us. >> Oh my gosh. Look at this place. [music] >> Damn. All right. Should we just uh chomp into it? >> Yeah. That is so delicious. >> Okay. Well, that was very nice. We are now out in the snow. >> That's so crazy. It's weird cuz I haven't been in this kind of quiet literally ever. >> I really want to hear that snow off the tree. Alex, can you get that really long one? >> Oh, that's deeper. That's deeper than you think. >> I'll get that one. [laughter] >> You You versus the icicle she tells you about to wear. [laughter] >> You look like you're from like >> It's like a video game. It's like a character. >> Skyrim. Oh, >> another glorious day in paradise. We survived another day with Alex. Trustful. [laughter] >> It is >> now uh about 9:30 and we are in probably like the most scenic, juicy naturistic place I've ever been. So, uh we're going to have a very nice peaceful night. All right. Okay. Well, let's get into our little log cabins and we shall see you in the morning. Ah. So, this morning we're actually braving the cold and we're walking to breakfast. >> Look at the scenes. Unbelievable scenes. Yeah. You know, you can put your face in that and then it'll come out as like the imprint. >> Would you do it? >> Yeah. >> You could both do it like I was going to say this is where Alex, >> look how big his head is compared to mine. [laughter] >> Dylan, did you pass? >> I commit. [laughter] Commit. >> Oh my. >> Oh my god. >> It's like that was a bad idea. [laughter] >> Should we do that? >> Okay. Okay. [laughter] Oh my god. It's literally melting on your face. >> Three, two, one. It's already getting too cold. [ __ ] >> Come on, Alex. Just give up. What are you really here for? What do you really need to win for? You know, >> I'm just curious. I'm just curious. You have a higher pain tolerance. >> What? Yeah. What's your pain out of 10 right now? >> I say a four. >> No, it's not. Well, mine's a three, actually. So, I could be here all day. >> This is stronger, man. >> Yeah. This is >> kind of bikini weather at this point. >> Put us in the bikini. [laughter] >> Yeah. >> So, what are you guys thinking? >> Well, yeah. This is >> Yeah. [laughter] >> Lessed a minute before we were pulled out. >> Oh, God. >> Now, if you thought this place looked good at night, when the morning came, it became one of the most stunning places I've ever seen. [music] And as we sat by the fire in this log cabin in the middle of nowhere, I started reflecting on how [music] lucky I was to have such good people around me. People who [music] are not just in it for the money or the views, but were in it for the love of the empire. I mean, we're certainly an unlikely bunch with Val being about [music] 5,000 years old and all, but boy, it works. And I know these people, [music] they got my back. [music] Okay guys, you will never believe where we have just arrived to. Behind us is a beautiful Alex, but then behind Alex is a an entire frozen lake. I first of all cannot believe that that thing is frozen. And it looks just like a regular lake. And believe it or not, we are about to go on it. And I'm really hoping to see Alex fall [laughter] >> cuz it's going to be slippery. >> It's so slippery. >> Oh my god. >> And it's uh blue cuz it's glacier water full of minerals. Very pretty. Yeah. And when we got the drone up, it'll have a blue tinge to it. >> All right. Off we go. This is going to be my first time on a frozen lake, which is a pretty normal thing to say. >> Yeah. And is it for you? >> No. [laughter] >> Yeah. Where I used to live, um the lake would freeze. >> This is really weird. It's like it's almost like beachy vibes to it where you get the small little rocks. Oh my. >> Like look how thick this ice is. Just >> wa. Can we slide that along the ice? >> Hell yeah. >> Hell yeah. Okay. It's going to be pretty bad here, guys. >> Oh, okay. Camera woman is going to fall. Absolutely. Woo! >> This is >> Are you going to get back? >> Or um I have a spare pair of socks on. You can put them over your shoes. It sticks to the ice. It'll take like two seconds. >> Alex is taking off his socks for the empire. This is amazing. Alex, show us your feet. [laughter] We all We're all waiting here from two camera angles. >> You got to pay for that. Pay for that subscription. >> Alex's only fans coming soon, >> but it'll be on Dylan's Patreon, so sign up. [laughter] Okay. So, there's a little survival tip for you guys. If you're stuck on ice and it's super slippy, take off your socks, put them on the outside of your boots, and then uh you'll be able to walk better on the ice. [snorts] >> See, you might have to tiptoe. But you're good. It's still better than laying nothing. Okay. Right. >> All right. Let's give this a go. >> Put this together. >> See if this works. How's your socks doing? >> Yeah, pretty good. >> Here we go. >> Hey, Alex. Okay, now shit's getting real. >> Yeah, >> she Sean is doing it in heels. >> I know. She's like a crazy crazy Canadian over there. All right, let's do our first skid down the hill. Oh, wa. Look how clear this is over here. This is so trippy. Look, it's like you're standing on glass. [laughter] Now, you see all of those white bubble looking things? The ones with the personality of Alex? Well, this is a glacierfed reservoir. And although it was man-made in 1972, all of this decomposing natural matter that's at the bottom, like trees and plants, they release a bunch of methane gas, which then rises to the surface and gets trapped in the layers of ice as it freezes, creating these cool white bubbles, which Alex likes so very much. >> This is the weirdest experience I've had, [laughter] maybe ever. And I can show a clip of you guys now of when I was here in the summer a year or so ago. >> And it's just uh so the water was way lower cuz it had flown away, I guess. And we're standing on pebbles. >> Recognize how good this idea was from Alex. I just walked there, took both my feet off at the same time. No ice skating. >> No problems. >> Fantastic. >> You don't have to thank me. >> Woman never dies. >> Thank Thanks. >> Oh yeah. Look at that. Look how thick is You can see the depth. right [snorts] there. That's probably what like six 7 in. Can we just acknowledge the fact that we are here right now? Like this was even even about a week ago, we were like still chilling at the 900ks and then just immediately we're like, "All right, it's time to go and see Alex." This is promises made, >> promises kept. >> Promises kept. >> You're welcome, audience. >> Yeah. like and sub right now because geez, I am freezing my hands off for you. I can't believe we're on a frozen lake right now with a drone. I mean, just look at the view we've got right here. Look at that. [music] Just miles and miles of frozen lake and then some crazy mountains [music] to the right. Yeah. Polished by wind is the best way to describe this. >> [music] >> Can I just say that they they abandoned me? These people, they they left me. They left me. We were stranded here, dying, freezing. >> No, it was good. >> You're never truly alone. Yeah, >> everyone [laughter] spirit. >> I was very alone actually. >> Okay, after a long drive, we have finally made it to uh dinner. And this one was Alex's selection, actually. >> Yeah. I wanted to take you here cuz uh it's kind of like a Canadian tradition. Keg is a damn fine place to eat, right? I want you to try esgo, and I'm not going to tell you what it is until after you've eaten it. Es cargo sounds like a shipping company. >> Yeah, tastier than that. >> All right. Yeah, >> let's eat some steak. >> Yeah, boy. >> Hello. >> So, this is called esgo and I need to tell you >> what esago is after he has consumed it. >> So, I didn't know what it was before I had it. >> I am fluent in French. Ah, >> so you know what I'm I'm in for right here. >> Um, >> who knew that? Did anyone know he's fluent in French? >> He's already >> man of many mysteries. >> Look at how much like flavoring it comes in because what you're actually eating is so horrific. All right, so for anyone that is confused about their little fancy name, Espargo, it's just a fancy way to disguise snail. Like look at this. Oh, look at this one. It's like >> Look, you can even You know when you know when they have a I should I shouldn't look at it, should I? >> Tell me I'm wrong. >> It's not bad. >> It's not bad. But you really >> you're you're tempted to think about the snail >> and you don't think about the snail is >> Yeah. Oh, I don't know if I want to eat another one. [laughter] It's great flavor. >> Mhm. >> But then you think and you remember that it's a snail. Who would have thought I'd be here eating snails with Alex the editor. >> What is that? Come on. >> Like that. >> All right. So, we have got the steak veggies and then that is for us to share. And you have got >> a blue cheese steak essentially. Yeah. I got a recall of the fillet menu. >> All right. Come on. Let's try it together. So, the place that we're at is supposed to be like super known for its steak. Am I Am I right? >> Yeah, pretty much. Like most people come here primarily for steak. I mean, you've heard the staff. They're like super professional. They know cuts and all >> enthusiasts. It kind of embarrasses me cuz I don't know as much. >> We're going in. >> Oh, that's good. No, >> guys. That's That's really That was better than I expected. Mhm. Wow. Yeah. >> I wish I could cook it this good at home. >> No, that was the best that we've had so far. >> Best steak in Canada. >> Yeah, that that best steak in a while, actually. >> I think that is a wrap, ladies and gentlemen, on day number three. That was a long day. Catch you in the morning. >> Good morning from Tim Hortons. The most Canadian experience one could have. Is that right? >> Yeah, it's pretty classic place. Now, um, my fellow over here, he is talking a lot of trash about Tim Hortons, but today we are finally putting it to the test. We have a Canadian maple. We've got some tidbits. >> Timbits. >> Timbits. This is apparently >> the middle of donuts. >> And this, what is this? >> This is an ice cap. This is coffee that gets done. So, if you want to uh be as high as a kite, I guess this is the amount of coffee you need. >> Damn. So, it's like iced as well, which obviously we don't need. [laughter] No, it's freezing. Um, all right. Let's go for this one first. >> Okay. Expect your heart rate to rise. >> Tim Hortons. >> Whoa. >> See what I mean? >> That is delicious. Delicious. I could drink one of those once a month maybe. >> Yeah. >> [ __ ] That is so sweet though. >> You got to have a Timberw and a sip of coffee at the same time. >> That looks amazing. Fill one of these bad boys. >> Oh yeah. >> Oh, it's going to be so cold. >> That is a sugar overload. And you know what? They're kind of dry. >> I'm not even going to lie to you guys. >> So, was I right? >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> Yeah. This is the kind of food you get when there's no other food around to get. [laughter] >> All right. Genuinely, first impressions of Tim Hortons probably be a good five out of 10. >> It's not above average, not below average. >> Yeah, >> maybe I'll do it again. A staple. >> Yeah, >> this donut will change your mind a little bit. >> Oh, this is the Canadian maple. >> Get that five up, Tim Hortons. >> Ooh, that's looking pretty soft. Canadian maple. >> That's not bad. Yeah, >> that's the best one so far. >> It's got a cream in there. >> That ain't bad at all. >> Woo! Well, this is the right way to get the day started. All right, let's get to it. >> Okay, so believe it or not, we are now Yesterday we walked out onto the ice, but today we're going to be driving out onto the ice, which is a whole You got your child [laughter] in the back, man. This must This must be safe. >> It's safe. It's safe. It's pretty thick ice. And as you can see out on the lake, there's a lot of cabins out there and vehicles already do every year. >> There's a truck out there. >> Yeah, ma'am. >> This ice must be so thick. [laughter] That is crazy. See the quads driving around other. >> Oh, just suddenly got hella windy. Yeah, you're right. They do have little shacks and that's where they sit and they do ice fishing, right? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. They'll leave them up for the season and they just go and when you get free time and catch a fish. >> This is We Look at the map. It feels like we're so deep in there. Wow. >> Wow. [screaming] >> Today we will be building snowmen. We will be sacrificing [music] lambs and we will be doing it with a flamethrower. Let's get into today's activities. We are out on the ice. As you can see, it is minus who knows what. [laughter] Look at this man. What we will be doing today is we are going to attempt to build a snowman. But this is not like snow that you would be like, "Oh, nice frolicky snow. Look at that. >> That is hard. That's ice." And it doesn't really stick together. It's like sand. It's uh like compressing with all your strength. You get like a tiny [laughter] >> And then not only that, but as soon as we get into something of height, it's probably just going to blow down. All right. Should we get building? This is going to be impossible. >> It's sandy snow. I mean, this is still like desert rain. Really? It's just a snow desert. >> We didn't get this far. just to get this far. She's going to say to Maddie if she pats to the right. There's an ice shack that's been blown on its side. That's how windy it is out here. >> Okay, step one completed. Do you think the flamethrower would like give it like a a glaze that we can work with? >> There you go. [music] I want today to forever be remembered as the day where the first snowman was ever built with a flamethrower. Tell me there's not a daily need for flamethrowers in people's lives. Starting a fireplace, building snowmen, home defense. [laughter] I don't know why it works, but it works. If anyone in the comments knows why this works scientifically, please tell us cuz we have no idea. Flames. We give you flames. This is going to be the best snowman [music] Canada has ever seen. I [snorts] second that. [laughter] I agree. Probably stand on this. It's that strong. I mean, I won't, but like if I wanted to, all 6' three of me could stand on this. Wow. That is a snowman right there. >> [laughter] >> How are we supposed to destroy this now? All beautiful things [music] have to come to an end. >> Yeah. Oh yeah. Look at that. Our first sacrifice on the altar. Stop the yapping. Let's get sacri. next sacrifice. >> But one of them [music] caught our eye, the one in the center. He would neither go towards [music] the feeding grounds at the edge of the ice nor return to the colony. [music] Shortly afterwards, we saw him heading straight towards the mountains some 70 [music] km away. Dr. plainly explained that even if he caught [music] him and brought him back to the colony, he would immediately head right back for the mountains. [music] But why? [music] I'm back. Had to go on a quest. That was crazy. >> How was that? That was almost the middle. >> It's like the wilderness. Could you even see me? >> No. >> I was gone, wasn't I? >> Yeah, you were. You were gone. [gasps] >> I guess it is time to move on. We have sacrificed. We have built an altar. We promised you flamethrowers. We gave you flamethrowers. We have a saying for that, isn't it? >> Promises made. Promises kept. >> You're damn right. >> My turn. My turn. [laughter] Oh, this one's heavy. This might take your neck out. Ready? 3 2 1. [laughter] >> Also, guys, I just want to give a big credit to camera woman. This is what has been filming the entire time. What even is this sherpa? [laughter] Look at this. Head to toe. Hold on. Thank you very much. >> I can't feel my finger. >> From everyone in the empire. >> Love you all. >> There you go, guys. That is Alex. The true the true man that we have met this weekend. A family man [music] with a good heart. Much more than an editor. Diverse human being with lots of love in his soul. What a man. I think he's probably top five human beings. >> Could be top five humans. >> Absolute legend. >> Okay. I think it is only appropriate for the last meal that Alex and I share be the dilly milly fried chicken. So, we are actually going to be able to order this from Uber Eats, which is just so surreal. And Alex, you want me to uh order you some of them PBJ tenders, too? >> Yeah. Yes, please, sir. >> And there we have the Dilly Billy. This is just so insane. >> Wow. >> You're famous. >> That is so crazy, man. Who would have thought? Alex, that's all because of you. >> Guys, you want anything? Hell yeah. >> There we go. And that is orders. My first ever order of my own food from a restaurant. That is just so insane. What does the News Daddy channel mean to you? Uh, in a way it's like hope in media that you see these big corporations. You know, there's a lot of perspectives people could have already about news. They might trust it wholeheartedly. Some people might just think it's completely fabricated at this point. Some people might be 50/50. But, you know, these are huge corporations that can be influenced by politicians, by the government. It's uh it's an interesting landscape. But with News Daddy, like I know the man behind the content, the or he writes the stories, he researches the information. Like we we all pitch in with it and we don't put anything out unless we've like thoroughly gone through it. So for me, it's like if we can do it, maybe [laughter] maybe these companies can get their together and start telling people what's happening in the world without trying to change their perspective to hate or dislike or love something that doesn't deserve that love in order to influence the world. Because if we're given the opportunity to see the world the way it is, maybe we would have a different world. >> Hell yeah, that was a good one. That was a [snorts] sure you didn't prepare that one. That was [laughter] >> a Thank you very much. >> Oh, peanut butter jelly. >> Oh, it's hot. It's ready to go. And then this. >> The dilly milly. >> The dilly millie. >> Beautiful. >> I couldn't think of a better meal or a better last meal to have with you. >> How did you find Canada, >> man? Canada was wild. I mean, it really could have been anywhere. Doesn't matter where we would have gone and met, but meeting you was pretty amazing, you know. And you were saying, "Don't ever meet your heroes." >> Well, guess what, Alex? >> God damn. >> Yeah. >> Hero lord. >> You were the first person. You were the the news daddy's first ever hire. And um you know what? You're the best. >> You're the best, Alex. >> I'm covered in peanut butter. >> And I know your clothes are way more expensive than mine. >> [laughter] >> What was your favorite part? >> H bullseye archery, >> right? >> Man, >> that was crazy. >> Like a natural. [laughter] >> I think we can bond over archery soon. >> Yeah. >> Get my own bow. >> Yeah, seeing you with a compound bow is going to be like dangerous. >> So, where do you see um where do you see us going, man? >> In the next couple of years, >> it's going to be crazy. I don't know how we how do [music] we how do we continue doing what we do in such a a small humble community? When a company grows big, it's inevitable that you just lose what makes that company or what started that company to be so cool. Hope you never lose that. >> Yeah. I mean, like people like Joe Rogan, they've [music] kept their team small. He has Jamie and like a manager. That's it. And it it stayed the way the audience wanted it to stay. >> Yeah. I think that the the community of News Daddy is why it makes the community on YouTube what it is and uh you keep that by keeping it a small community. The fact that [music] we get them out in the times that we do is so I think impressive comparing us to other content creators. I I monitor like when they put videos out when the subjects have taken place and it it's like a 4 5day turnaround. We're doing it in 24 hours or sometimes less [music] like when there's breaking. Um, I think that is testament to your growth as a as a YouTuber and um, you know, if we can find ways to fine-tune that, man, we get two videos in a day every day. Crazy. But like with the thousands and thousands of hours of footage that you would have put in there. We um, you've done an amazing amazing job. So, I mean, I think I think the only way that all of us could thank you is just by saying you're here forever. There's no leaving now, man. There's no leaving. And uh I think we're gonna have an amazing 2026. >> Hell yeah, man. >> Bring it in. >> Oh, man. >> Alex, I love you. >> I [ __ ] like miss you, man. Like I mean, I spend all day looking at your face, but now I can like talk back to you. >> Yeah, Alex has sent me a 32minute voice not look before. >> All right. Well, I think it's time to head to the airport. >> Yeah, you got to go got one of those planes up there. Damn. >> This is a sad day. >> Sad day. Heat. Heat. [music] >> [music] >> Is there anything you wanted [music] to say to all of the people that you found that just absolutely love >> [laughter] >> They they would love your beard. >> It's just a It's not even a good beard, guys. There's better beards out there. Like I say, uh don't hold me as an inspiration or admire. >> Too late. We already do. Now what? [laughter] >> Okay. I mean, if you want to find your chosen hero and your your [music] load out for this game of life, then um just be like by be like me in the way of working hard and be nice [music] to people, man. like uh this world's hard and I've I struggled when I was younger to to cope. [music] You know, a lot of like depression in my young years cuz I couldn't quite figure out [music] how this world works and how people are in it. There's a lot of people that will trick you and waste your time and lie to you. And if [music] you're a good person, you fall for it and you know, you're going to fall for it for a while like I did. But [music] eventually, you'll figure it out. And you know, you might find yourself shivering in a shipping container with a laptop trying to learn [laughter] Final Cut, but you know, you might find yourself 2 years later with a family. It can switch so fast. Um, so just keep going. Keep going. Be good. Be kind. [music] Um, I think if everyone does that, we'll live in a way better world.
