- DRock and I decided, excuse me,
DRock decided that Sunday wasn't a lot.
Obviously we're here Saturday, Sunday.
(children cheering) This is so awesome.
Sunday was a day where very religious country,
not a lot going on but we did an incredible thing.
I went to a waterfall which I've never seen before.
That was a whole lotta fun and it was just a nice rest day.
A nice day to jam with the team but most of all waterfalls.
(rap music)
- [Man] You got to do what you got to do.
- Brandon, just saw a snake and a big one.
- [Brandon] No, really? - Yeah.
- [Brandon] No. - Yeah.
(group chatter)
I didn't see a snake.
("Standing Still" by Metsa)
- That was when I was like oh my God,
oh my God.
I was in New Orleans with a bunch of friends.
I was like screaming at this bar.
Like ah, I'm going to Africa.
First time ever.
(group laughter) I was so excited.
- [Gary] You were just sitting at your desk.
- [India] No, you sent it on a Sunday that's why.
- [Gary] Oh, we sent it on a Sunday?
- [Group] Yeah.
- [Gary] Oh that's good. What were you doing?
- I was a runner-up so I find out we leave,
Claude called me at like 10 o'clock at night.
She was like, "We're taking another person."
I'm like, "That's amazing." - [Gary] That's so awesome.
- But very unexpected.
- [Gary] That's awesome.
What about you, Dio?
- [Nick] I was at my apartment.
It was a Sunday.
I think it was football Sunday night.
- [Man 2] Sunday night.
- And I was like with all my boys and I started losing my
shit and there was nothing happening on the game.
- [Gary] Right. It's like a holding penalty.
- They're like what's going on and I was like,
"I'm going to Africa."
And they were like, "Cool, dude."
- [Gary] Yeah. (group laughter)
- Like none of them got excited.
- [Gary] Yeah, such dudes.
- I was like so (inaudible).
- [Gary] What about you, Brandon?
- Yeah, it was awesome.
- [Brandon] Where was I?
It was Sunday night, Eagles had just played and Claude texted
me, she was like, "Check your email."
I was just like "Oh God." - [Gary] A headache?
- What could possibly gone wrong?
I'm like it's a Sunday night.
- [Gary] You're like (censored) up to?
- (censored) I was like oh God.
Should have checked online earlier.
(group laughter)
And I was like one day with my wife, you know?
I did, I checked my email, I freaked out.
My wife remembered the night I applied was my birthday.
- [Gary] Yeah, yeah.
- And I was like Jackie do you remember I was telling you,
I told her the whole time she was like...
She was in complete shock.
Where? Ghana!
Absolutely freaking out.
- Bri, what about you?
- [Brian] Same thing.
Sunday night I got a message from Claude.
It was the kind of thing that I totally forgot about it.
- [Gary] Yeah.
- And I was like holy shit, I'm going.
So it was interesting 'cause
the lay off was like two days previous.
- [Gary] Sure, sure.
- So I was like the chosen one from L.A.
it was interesting.
- [Gary] Celeste were you in L.A.
at that point? - [Celeste] Yeah, I was.
- [Gary] Okay.
Hussain, what about you?
Where were you?
- (inaudible) told me at the gala.
But toward the end of the gala so we (inaudible).
We were dancing, whatever.
And she was like guess what?
I was like, "What?"
"You're going to Ghana."
And I was like, "Why?"
(group laughter)
- [Gary] Yo, this is so scary.
I understand.
So Boyd, you were what in studio in Atlanta?
- No.
- And you're like 21 Savage, great news.
(group laughter)
- [Mike] It was actually at the pre-gala event,
the night before.
- Yep.
- [Mike] So I asked Natalie.
(inaudible)
- [Gary] Yeah.
- [Mike] So I had briefly met him a couple times before and
I asked, "Can I go talk to him real quick?"
After I reintroduced myself she was like,
"We're going to bring you to Africa."
And I was like, "What?"
She had to say it five times.
I was eventually like this is a joke.
(group laughter) I thought they were just playing with me.
- That's awesome.
(group chatter)
So they told you ahead of time, right?
- [Mike] Yeah.
- I see.
That's really cool.
Axel, what about you?
So yeah, I was home watching football with my fiancé.
We actually had just gotten engaged like the week before.
Just gotten back from our trip.
Got a couple texts, "You're going to Ghana."
I say, "Fuck yeah."
I got all pumped up and she's like,
"You're leaving me for five days.
"That's not right, no.
"I don't want you to go." - [Gary] That's awesome.
- I was like, "Too bad. I'm going."
- [Gary] That's awesome.
Nature's like whack.
I want that t-shirt. Nature is whack.
You need to have some purple drank on your...
If we took Pam to Mississippi they'd be like, "Yo."
("Standing Still" by Metsa)
Fun trip, huh?
No, I've never hiked, bro.
This is like my first hike.
I was such an outdoorsy kid, too.
Like this is the kind of place I would play in.
The woods, I love the woods.
I'm very comfortable in it because of my childhood.
Like I was super into let's play G.I. Joe
and Star Wars and stuff like...
I made up this game when I was a kid called adventures where four
of my friends would follow me around like this and I would
make up narratives.
We'd have to make a viral video, DRock.
I feel like a rant in the jungles of Ghana.
(group laughter)
You're complaining about shit.
Look, where the fuck I am.
Holy shit, what's over there?
That's like rad shit.
Like we're in it.
That was a good episode the other day.
We're pumping out some new interesting content.
- [Brandon] I listen to the whole thing.
- [DRock] What'd you think?
- [Gary] Yesterday, yeah it was great.
The Jersey. AMAs are good too.
That was really good.
The Reddit thing.
- [DRock] I think the documenting (inaudible)
this all the time.
- [Gary] Yeah, I hate that we posted it on a Saturday.
We should've been smarter about it.
- [Brian] What? The AMA?
- [Gary] But I think it's going to go viral by itself.
- [DRock] It'll be fine.
Why? You don't think people watch on Saturday?
- [Gary] Right, I think-- - [DRock] Really?
- [Gary] I think but I could be wrong.
That's just a completely intuitive thing.
I don't like that we launched it with
me not being around to really promote it.
("Standing Still" by Metsa)
- [Brian] Thousand bees.
Thousand ants for that one thing.
- [Gary] This is awesome.
- [Axel] Those fire ants? No.
- [DRock] I don't think so.
It could be pretty dangerous.
- [Gary] The ultimate thing when we think we have something is
giving me an hour on live while it launches.
Right? - [DRock] Yeah.
- That's where I think I can do.
That rant at the end of the episode the other day has gotten
some attention. - [DRock] Has it?
Yeah. - [DRock] Yeah, it's good.
- Like I don't give a fuck about,
not a fucking teeny bopper with a vlog.
I'm starting to realize this is one thing I could do.
I would move to any land if it was actually purely positive.
I don't know.
It just makes me so happy.
Like it makes me disproportionately happy for my
guys to have a good time.
Or like when somebody...
I feed off of positivity.
Literally what goes through my mind is like I want to go in
there and play with G.I. Joes.
And Star Wars figures. Straight up.
I was only into G.I. Joes for six months.
Mine was mainly Star Wars to wrestling figures to Nintendo.
When I think about my core childhood toys it was
Star Wars figures, oh, this is fucking rad.
This mushroom. Should we eat that?
Who wants to eat that?
- [Brian] That looks scary.
- [Gary] I would eat it. - [Hussain] How much?
- [Brian] You would not eat it.
That's what we got to do.
- [Gary] If we're gonna have fun on this trip.
Celeste, eat it.
- [Celeste] No chance. No chance.
- [Brian] No?
- [Gary] Oh shit.
That's nice.
("Standing Still" by Metsa)
So sometimes you just get to see
some rad ass shit.
You know, just kind of separating myself right now from
the trip to bring value for the vlog.
I think it's super important to break your patterns.
Just gets you into different mindset whether it's being
grateful and gaining perspective
or if it's just enjoying yourself.
Going surfing for three days
with your best friends from college.
Think it's massively important to break patterns.
And I think when you're lucky enough to be in a place where
you love what you're doing,
you don't need it to like refresh.
You just, for me, it's offense.
It's not defense.
It's not like, "Oh shit, I'm fried out.
"Let me go somewhere."
It's pure offense.
It's I'm happy but this gets me different perspectives.
These give me different things in my mind and whether it's
going away for three days to like a football camp and trying
to be a quarterback or if it's going to a place like Ghana
and visiting some of the, you know...
As you guys know, I keep the things I do that I'm a little
bit more proud of quite quiet.
It's just my style.
I don't think you brag or promote the things you're
supposed to do a good human being but I'm excited about this
kind of...
This is like a three episode series,
right? - [DRock] Mhmmm.
("Standing Still" by Metsa)
Anyway just for all the entrepreneurs,
I know this is a little break of more like vloggy stuff.
But breaking patterns on offense,
not just doing it when you're fried out.
If everything's rolling right now.
If you had a good six months, you caught my content in January
and you're rolling, this might be the exact time to not hustle
all 24/7.
Maybe go to e-Sports camp in Korea or
go learn how to cook for a weekend.
Just breaking patterns gives you a different perspective.
I think way too many people think about things like that as
oh, I need this to rest or I need this because
everything's so stressful. I look at the reverse.
I think it's just good to taste different things which gives you
new ideas.
