This is my stuff I don't know why it's I love movies that were made for humans and not critics and like this is like the best thing ever I could that's a great way to put it. That is a great way But also if only somebody had been telling you for the last 10 years to watch these movies You know But you know what it doesn't matter. I'm happy you're here. It's never too late to be family Thank you If you're kind of funny memory in it today's great way a little has to be there There's no case podcast today.
We have to double up and move some things around I didn't know he was coming, but yeah, they all start game, you know who who can predict that our friends would be there Thank you our patron producer to Lady Twining Carl Jacobs and a big of us during Karen Linda today We're brought to you by Bill rewards factor and stash will tell you all about that later now It's been with the topic of the show Is Carl Jacobs from kfbf to rising celebrity and still kfbf you guys don't get a revoke that from me Why do I lose that? Well, you don't you don't you know your history with us is is storied Carl I want to start I have a couple of things real quick. I want to bring up just for context for people out there We first met you at twitch con no Momo con 2016 that is absolutely what so how'd you get there? That's Momo con 26?
Oh my god I got it so right there all the way to the right is my brother the one with Afro. Here's an Afro. I remember this kid Yeah, so vividly you guys loved him With that hair like that's so freakin funny. Oh my god.
See I'm almost on 2015 This was the first convention that we went to as a group. I was yeah Yeah, it was I was very locked into IGN. I thought that that was my career That's what I was like I'm gonna go become a game journalist. That was positive Um, and that this was like when kind of funny to their thing I was like oh, it's like a culmination of all of the what I like about IGN and how they're doing it like them You know what I mean?
That was so cool to me. So how old are you there? How old are you now? I'm 26 26.
I'm gonna put my mind. I was 17. I think maybe maybe 16. Yeah at the oldest I was 17 years old.
That's absolutely wild man Like that's how far back this goes and then so where where were you living at this point? I was in I was in a high school in Charleston, South Carolina That's where I was living that in the middle right there ended up becoming my roommate in Portland whenever I went to Portland for college Um, but yeah, that was before I was in college So I was living in Charleston going to high school just be high school. I didn't so what Momo con I was in Atlanta Atlanta. Yes, so how did you get there?
Um, I I Did not have that much money But what I did do was I worked at a retro game store and then on the side I was I woke up every Saturday 5 or 6 a.m. Goes to every garage sale went to every flea market I tried to like buy games to flip like I was obsessed with like just all things games I just I back then there's honestly maybe even up to now you guys can name any video game And I could probably tell you within $10 how much it's worth. I love that so much by the way This is a slight spoilers, but Carl will be joining us for a kind of funny game showdown and I'm taking it home Yeah, I hope not because you're against me. I don't need any more bullshit on that show But okay cool.
So man, that's that's why you're this young kid and going to Momo con saving your money with retro games to go to Momo con But then there was many other places that you would pop up in Momo con because I am haven't told you this but this is or any of you guys this but this was like Momo con to me and why I'm always as thankful as I am to you guys and why I will never ever take it for granted Is because of Momo con and how you guys treated me treated my brother my roommate and my mom that took us you guys Like I this isn't just because I'm in their studio right now I was holding this to tell you guys while on your guys show, but that was like probably the biggest points of Movement in my life to push me towards content creating to be honest Like I really mean it because it was always something I really wanted to do and um, it was you guys supported it in like a Like yeah, you should try this, you know, and it came from you guys who I look at is like This is what success should look like to me. You know what I mean? I mean that is incredibly kind of you But I do think that you're you're talking into something that is so genuine and authentic about what we have and that is community And I think that it's such a beautiful thing that It's a learned experience, right? Like you don't know what community is until you're part of it and you can see how special it is to be able to be in a room with people and Just sit down and start talking to someone you don't know, but realize oh, we have shared interest We can talk about our love of obscure game cube games or whatever it is and just how it's furious Yeah, whatever that the thing is that just like oh wow we can connect on this and you know I've been so proud of you for so many reasons in the last 10 years I've seen you kind of skyrocket But what I love so much is that you value your community so much and that I would say that more than any of the other creators that I've seen Community specifically solo people like solo streamers the Carl community and The way you treat them and the way they see you and there's this like amazing relationship It's so special and I really do truly feel that that comes from things like a bomokan and things like actually being able to experience like People being good to each other well I Again, this isn't just like I feel like it's like a glaze fest for me.
It's not good I uh how I interacted fans like in person stems from what I like learned from you guys like seriously Like what I like what I took in and really valued from you guys because I probably bugged you guys Way too many times I'm like I tried to like you know It's funny cuz now that I have people that recognize me I could tell when somebody like does like a oh wait You know like the oh are you you know but as a kid? That's what I was doing to you guys 24 seven in the amount of grace that you guys provided to me was just crazy I can't explain to you how much I remember your brother Was such an important moment for us to because it was not only our first convention as kind of funny post IGN But that was like definitely I mean that must have been next first convention ever because like we had been to like or at least as as Like on panel talent or whatever you know what's the name of the convention? Kevin was there, but he hadn't face revealed yet. That's pretty heavy live.
Yes, and I was astonished And I knew what Kevin look like I was astonished I think that's what I was in this whole thing. It was awesome But I want to do a shout out really quick yeah to Greg specific of course for a second because my mom is Onboard is me being a concert creator on board with all of this because of one sentence that he did to her one Senate city center we went to Gathering with you guys somewhere in Atlanta and He went to my mom and thanked her for taking us and brought up the fact that He thinks it's so important for parents to like really lean into like the things that their kids are passionate about in that It will go a long way for me as a person and he really does appreciate it Come like to her and that was like something I never saw he got nothing out of that obviously I you know I mean I was a high school kid She was a mom But it means so much to her that she loves you guys so much that I could be doing the coolest thing on the planet And she's like that's amazing at like and what's going on with kind of funny I was like oh like when you go into San Francisco she like loves you guys that's what we love you too It really did start from that and like I do appreciate it a lot because I like I'm a very family oriented person like to treat somebody like that It means a lot and Greg's a dad now. Yeah, that's crazy It's like not in the cards at all but I mean now seeing him like that's definitely like how he has supported And you know he's supporting any interest man has even a little of Greg pushes and supports it so much and it's such a beautiful thing So he definitely lives by his words, which is great to see okay, so so mobile con yes then was the next time we saw you the world tour Either that or probably like a pack something yeah, yeah, I was trying to really trying to go to everything again at the same time I really thought I was gonna be an IGN journal. So I was like I was writing public things for publications I didn't know existed just so I could get media badges Yeah, just so I could just show up to like different events like and be able to pay for it That's how my first number leak my first phone number leaked because wait years later I Responded to somebody's reddit post with my phone number because they wanted to split their hotel room for Pax West I was 19 years old and I split a hotel room with a complete stranger I don't know I said I'm like wow how am I live yeah, that's my phone number leaks like years later somebody's like this can't be true coral On a reddit post how is this God that's so great so I think the next time I don't know if like y'all interacted But I know prom happened pre me so yes, you're right.
So yeah prom was first so 20 before we bring it up there like a 20 is like I got a couple like big projects that I've worked on in my life The kind of live prom and now the wedding that I put my all into like the production of it making sure that every second being shown Is like perfect prom was one of the ones that I had so much fun with because I got I had so much footage just people in the crowd And I have this footage of you so in the moment Oh God and the best thing about this again I want to say this a little more too because you say oh I wanted to be an IGN journalist Like that's what you thought your life is gonna be what I love about that is you are definitely of the class that so many people here I kind of funny are Barrett blessing Roger Mike right like so many you are in that kind of conversation where I feel like All of you to some extent like that was the dream or the goal, you know Bear even made it there, you know, it's idea for a while But I love that so much and there is this like amazing kind of rising moment of different classes trying to do guys All podcasting together like you used to podcast with my brother. Yeah I did a I did I think eight episodes of the series of Johnny hey the shout out Johnny to go But we both were obsessed with cartoons And we were like we should just get cool people to get in a podcast with us and just talk about their favorite cartoon because just like seeing cool People talk about things are passionate about is awesome Like I was really just talking to Nick about I love his the street this in a two-file And I don't know any reference I maybe I know three percent of the movies that they say all loud But I just love watching him Roger Joey being obsessed with like movies and just like it's just awesome to me Even if I don't understand it's so yeah, so great your brother was my first guest First episode of that it's so much man. It's so freakin funny But I just I love that and you and Roger had a thing together to write We're trying yeah, we're trying you found each other in different ways And I think that there's a lot of beauty there and I love that There was definitely like a classic people that were the were standouts in a lot of ways of the community just because of how active they were or how much they were attempting to try to make content themselves and At KF prom we had our like prom king and Queen and all that stuff and blessing ended up getting prom king Ziger got prom queen and they did their first dance at time after time and Now you can play the sweet spirit I remember my outfit from this. That's all I remember.
Yes The cape and everything yeah right here there I am and then there's Carl That's all I got from what a night that was that was amazing. I that was yeah, that was Highlight for me. That's where I feel like I got much closer to like blessing I like I mean I knew blessing before then but that's where I felt like I was really like getting closer to like a lot of The people that I look at us like friends from you know that I've gained from that area now, you know So yeah, that was really cool amazing stuff man. I've actually said hey, I was in that video Yeah, I mean most people if you were at there probably are in that video somewhere Um and then yeah after that we had the next year we did the KF world tour We went to a bunch of places and what's the stops was sepphys go we hear why not and you were there and I remember it blew all of Our minds because you had you still have this like glowing young kid energy You know you we were like all of us were just shot like how'd you get here?
Because we remember it's like oh last time we saw you with your parents You know what I mean? And you found away from Oregon down to San Francisco by yourself. Yeah, and you were still young enough that that felt crazy I think I took a whatever the equivalent of a Greyhound is maybe it was a Greyhound, but I took a bus to that Yeah, I think it was for that and I think yeah, oh my gosh That's college Carl But yeah, so here we are at the Mean Green San Francisco And you were there and we did a whole thing of like what does kind of funny mean to you and that you would be interviewed there There do you have that? Yeah, the KFA thing and like that was significant for me because I remember that was like the first meetup I ever did as an employee and I remember you and I talking for a while just because yeah We were so blown away of like dude How old are you and how did you get down here?
What's happening right now? But my favorite memory hold on I'm trying to find it is I lost it so so that for the vlog We did a vlog for everywhere we went and for this one We interviewed a lot of the best friends asking like what does kind of funny mean to you? What's this community mean to you? And there's a lot of really heartfelt answers of course this was the time that KFA F was happening the best show on the internet with Nick and Andy Andy and they always need to take all the hard work that we've done to make productions and stuff and steal it for themselves So they decided for KFA F to ask all the same people like what KFA F means to them Yeah, hold on.
I'm trying to find the exact time code here. We interviewed a lot of people Yeah, I got it. I got it. You got it.
Everybody stay in silence chat stop chat. I'm like KFA F because it's funny Hey, I watch KFA F because where else can I get? I don't love it. I just love how deep it's all goes man.
That's so silly. So that was the last time we saw you and I feel and so that was 2019. Wow, that's the last time I saw you. Yeah, well, the whole pandemic happened.
Yeah, so a lot went down there But simultaneously you went from just being the sweet young kid to the sweet young kid that I'm walking in the mall that I grew up going to walking past the journeys Clothing store and seeing a giant poster of you Of journeys, which is by the way shadow journeys. They're also I don't I don't get paid by them anymore. We don't even have like a thing going on Or now, but they were basically they're really one of the best friends I've ever worked with so I just want to they're cool That was the moment though for me that I was like what the fuck because I knew you were blowing up Yeah, we don't want to like big content creators There was something different about this though It was around that 20 20 to 20 22 era that all of a sudden you were everywhere and it got to the point I mean we even did a that was back when me and Nick did Internet explorers We did a whole episode just about you. Yeah, like what the hell like how what's happening with this kid because it you could not open Twitter without Carl Trending I so behind the scenes I One of my favorite parts of everything what I found out that I actually really enjoy about content creation is like almost Figuring out how to solve things and like figure out how to like learn things like the algorithms I love like so me and a lot of people I don't even say anybody's names because I don't know who would care to be But like I had a discord group chat that was dedicated to like learning Twitter Figuring out and it was even people that were within my exact like group But like just people being like hey, I tried this it did better on Twitter now Hey, I did this and now this happened.
You know, I just love like learning how to Yeah, game it. Yeah, I'm fine. So like that's that's that was that era and um Twitter since it's been like Algorithmically ruined by the way, but whatever It's it's a that was so much fun for me that whole era of like figuring out how to make things trending and like it was There was a whole era where because you know the trending gives descriptions for the trending So I figured out those are well, not that it's rocket science, but humans wrote the topics They don't definitely know they definitely do not anymore I will never forget when we were trending for the kind of 20 10 year anniversary last month and reading the AI garbage But I remember like for like a whole week because you would have to wait a day to fall off of trending to get a new description So I would like intentionally try to talk to the guy that was ready the descriptions by talking to them And then forcing people to tweet that with the thing that would go trending so that we would like have this conversation back and forth So it was those were fun times. I don't know I just went on a tangent I mean, I think that's awesome because like that shows I didn't know that you were intentionally doing anything with the hashtag or with Carl itself Right like I thought that I was just kind of like a side effect of you like making your content and people being super into it But no, this was like a attempted but it was to be clear was attempted with the community as well We're doing this like oh, we're doing this Yeah, I just worked at one didn't yeah, yeah So with that though like we're now talking about this era of you know You go from like making podcasts with cool Greg to all of a sudden you're trending what are we missing here?
Um a lot of things. Um, so I at the time I was close to finishing college. I was getting to Associates degrees I was working on two degrees at the same time for video production and multimedia and I was really worried I was gonna graduate which is a weird sense to tell out about in my brain I was like when I graduate college I'm gonna have to just like buckle down and do something like a you know Maybe like more of a normal job and it's just not where my brain was for me Like I was like I just don't think that that's what I want to do But also I'm not you know like I just wanted to keep it in reality and like my parents were so supportive I didn't want to like screw anybody over here anything so I was like look if I in my brain I was like if I graduate college before figuring out a reason to drop out of college Then I think I'm gonna get a real job and just like do like because I don't have a real job right now to be clear but um so so I Was trying everything and I didn't want to drop out for no reason I want to drop out because I literally would need to drop out to you know do something like of like the caliber worthy of dropping out if that Makes sense to be clear. I think college is like honestly, I'm the for my generation kind of weird But I think college is like very important.
I think it's really cool to go to college I think like getting an education in general is amazing I think it's like if you have the means and the ability you should really strive to especially like I went The route of like kind of going to a trade school learning video production in Portland with like people that were part-time teachers Cuz they're working on Portlandia or grim and stuff like that. It was really cool. You know what I mean? So in those regards I think that's awesome, but I Wanted to figure out how to not and I got an opportunity because I had a friend at Mr.
Beast and at the time Mr. Beast had much it was a YouTube channel at that point still there was like 10 or 15 million subscribers Which is still an amazing operation. Yeah, exactly. I think at the time they had Probably less employees than you have right now.
You don't even so it was uh My buddy though. He wanted to He want he was like hey, I want to start streaming. He's somebody that was on screen at the time His name's Garrett. He was a on-screen person in Beast and he's like I want to start streaming you stream already Even though like I didn't I was never successful at that point But you were you were streaming consistently and what did that look like what was your audience like?
I gotta tell you I was this is like my flex of like I was grinding I was max credits in college and streaming on average five hours a day Middle so it was like every day like if you average out every day including days I took off I averaged five hours a day and I was Max credits in college. Um, so I was like really trying You know what I mean? And streaming wasn't taking off though, but I really felt like I was becoming better Like I was really kind of honing it I was every stream I would end up watching the stream back to like see like I hate the words that I keep saying that I don't like I like pause here every time I do this I was really kind of like into it Um, and then I told him I'd help him. I'd set him up his whole stream set up all in return is ask if they are looking for an editor That's it, you know, because I was going to school for video editing I thought that I was getting pretty good.
Um, and he was like I try um I fly in and the day I fly in he was like I have a meeting with the manager to talk about you becoming an editor And I was like this amazing. Um, I was in my last quarter of college period like the last quarter and then I graduated and I had 11 weeks left and um Or six weeks left over 11 week quarter Sorry, and I uh took a week off to come visit to help him set up his thing and then try to get a job editing And uh, he comes back that day. I'll never forget and he was like so I was like how did the meeting with the manager go and he was like, uh, the manager got fired this morning No And I was like, oh, okay cool. I guess I'm uh, that's awesome And then he was like, but you know, we're talking about his brother starting a youtube channel Uh, his brother's channel doesn't exist yet, but they will need editors Uh, you think you could say another week maybe and then we can really try pushing you into that role And I was like that would be amazing.
You know, but now we're talking about missing two of my last six weeks college And my mom is just freaked out. I'm sure she's like what is happening and um Then I met with the team at the time it was it didn't exist yet, but it's the channel. It's mr. Bro now um And I within I started and they were like, hey We're doing this like we would love for you to be the editor, but you'd have to start now Um, and then I was like, I'd have to drop out of college with now five weeks left before getting two degrees You know what I mean?
Uh, but to me it was like I'm just gonna battle myself though, right? Like I feel like that's that's the plan and then I kind of uh, Me the right back. Yeah, I did it. Yeah, I did it And that was actually it was funny that lines up perfectly with I went to Ian Ian's wedding from okay, these okay Yeah, and it was like they were like, whoa, that's crazy like a Jason some service now That's actually insane and um from there like it in a couple months.
It was um, me and my friend Tyler Tyler is I love Tyler. He's my best friend and all of mr. B's for sure. Um, and he was on mr.
Bro at the same time as me Wait, Tyler is that the um He's the one that wrote the game's called director B's game. Yeah, so and he wrote He was the macro level like writer of it and like he's the most talented person bar none that I've worked with in my life In terms of anything like whatever. Damn. I never can praise him enough, but um, we were at mr.
Bro at the same time and it's From there Within like three months me and him ended up combined we were writing everything. Uh, I was leading camera He was directing I was on screen and I was Also editing the videos afterwards. You know, I mean so we're basically like doing a lot. Yeah, and um then quarter four came along and Mr.
Beast was like we need to all hands on deck. We're about to do a crazy series we've ever done We need to bring the people from mr. Bro over to mr. Beast.
So at this point, how big is the team? Um, ish mr. Bro has me Tyler Probably three more people and cj who's mr. Bro and then mr.
Beast probably has 15, okay, 20 employees maybe um and they have like a warehouse and stuff and They just bought a uh old church that wasn't a church anymore. It's just abandoned and we bought it to turn it into a studio Um, which was I remember walking to it for the first time. I was like, this is a youtube, you know, I mean, which is crazy because this is ridiculous Dude, I just way cooler than what that was, you know, so at the time it was like mind blowing to me though And it and um that was the series of we did four last to leave videos And the winner of all four of those competed in last to take hand off $1 million keeps it Um, and they needed hands all hands on deck. They needed more editors They needed more camera work and I did both of those things because you went to a trade school then talked with those things So you had the ability to be good enough editing and using a camera exactly Um, and then because of that I just started being a cameraman there whenever mr.
Bro went back to mr. Bro I stayed on mr. Beast then so then I became an editor there and then I started making my way to doing camera work again Um, and then I started joining like writing sessions and at that point I was just always there and then I kind of became friends with them all and then I started just being in the videos because of that And then yeah, the rest is history so being in the videos. I mean for those that don't know mr.
Beast It's uh, it's uh, it's crazy being to say but I'm sure there are some people that are like who is this what's happening Uh mr. Beast is one of the most popular popular youtube channels ever. Yeah Um, and a lot of the content is like challenge based competition based for crazy rewards like winning a lamborghini or a million Dollars or a private island that could then be yours. Yeah, like a couple times like I would say at least Outwardly your public rise was the hide and seek video.
Yeah, and then the last person to leave wins this private island Okay. Yeah, that those were that's funny that you see it like that because that's yeah, that's me there. I'd Blonde here. Um I died my hair pink at one point and yeah, it just kind of faded because I never used the right It happens.
Are they hearing the audio for that by the way? No, okay. I was like worried. I was speaking over just Anyway, yeah, that was that um that was my first video I've ever I was on for a mr.
Beast video Other than the island one no, that was the hide and seek. Oh hide and seek gotcha I was hiding for 60,000 That was the first time I was on video that wasn't just like occasionally I was um in the background as a camera Which I was like excited about even but like uh all of that led to that and I was so nervous about it And I was like I just need to crush this and I like spent the night before like freaking out Tyler was also in that video like And um we I remember the night before we went to walmart We were like looking around trying to like see if we should buy props for it like for our own like not for like the writers to write for us But like it'd be funny if we just had like props for no reason, you know, I mean and yeah, I really like actively trying to self-produce Yeah within the production that was happening. I I had edited at that point for months of mr. Beast content and I guess I got a good Pulse on like what the leads really actually wanted in videos Um, I would see what they would cut and I would see what they would keep and I like loved more the like longer form like more drawn out humor And that never was the case back especially back then we were much more like snappy almost like to it like to me like in hindsight Now we've evolved so much past that to where like we have more depth and kind of storytelling but like back then it was much more like neck Breaking speeds, you know, um So I learned a lot from editing.
I love that you said that because I I've never been able to kind of put it into words The way you just did where I truly believe that in this era of video production like the youtube era and we're so deep into it now But the change between oh I make tv shows or I make music videos commercials or whatever too I make content for whatever that's worth youtube videos and all of that when you become this like oh, what do you do? Oh, I'm a producer. Oh, I'm an editor. Oh, I mean creator It's what most people would say I think that the difference there is when you understand the edit you then retroactively understand the production Yeah, you either get that you don't like there's certain people like Roger Pecorni I think is an amazing example Cameron Kennedy is an amazing example like they are such good editors that it makes them incredible producers because they know Because they've edited so much and they know what works and what doesn't and they get the voice of the thing and I can totally see you Actually being the editor of the mr.
Beast videos being like I know what to do to make the cut even if it's not gonna be you editing it You know, like that's so smart. Exactly. It's because you like look at it You have to look at it in like there's like way more than just one story being told It's like the person we've completely separate team for ideation then to creative Which sounds like the same thing But like the people that come up with the frameworks of videos and titles is different from the people that write then within those Confinements of the framework so then those are two different stories in my head this person has a story in their brain when they came up with The title and the framework then the creatives hears that and then they kind of write their own story um and then the producers for better for worse like have real life Confinements now and now they have budgets and like because of that the story is what they have to tell is like they try to take these two stories and make It to the best of their ability but as a producer and then from there gets the editing room and that's where the final story gets told You know what I mean? So as long as it to me as an editor like I think I have so much Respect for good editors.
I I would I don't think I would be even the whatever the lowest ranked editor It could possibly be honest or beast at this point. I'm like a good editor compared to what they have now Which is so good because I'm sure so many of them learn from you I know I was a editor when we had four editors and I stopped doing it editor and then there were still three editors I'm in the style though like I feel like you can't undersell and under As are the importance of the voice of the content that lives on through from that original origin days, right? Yeah, I I appreciate I think um I don't know. I look it back at that time is like I was learning so much I don't I don't I don't even look at it as like I wonder what people got from me out of it But like yeah, I I guess definitely Everything piggybacks off of like what has happened in the past obviously so I guess in that way Yeah, definitely but yeah, there was there was and there are and there always will be way more like way better editors There it's so funny.

I want to ask you a wild question here ask it So you see like I first met you at lana at moumocan This young little boy since then you've gallivant to the world and done some of the most insane things any human being has ever done Recently you were telling me that you went to egypt you got to go into the pyramids And you got to go into a siresist too So yeah, it's oh by the way We worked with some of the coolest people on the planet over there. It's like these people are like real life I want to say anything Drake, but he steals stuff so not them the opposite of anything Drake But also like but the aura of Nathan Drake, okay Okay, you know, I mean like yeah, they are like this guy rami was with us the whole time and like he I don't think he's ever buttoned past the middle and he shouldn't and I don't want him to Hell yeah, he's just the coolest guy on the planet and all these guys were teaching us everything the whole way like everything It was the coolest thing ever. Uh, they took us to osiruses tomb. I don't know if you know who osiruses not a human So he's the god of the underworld for them.
Um, and I don't I don't want to also I might be explaining a lot of this very incorrectly Uh, it was just based on the hundred hours of sleep deprivation carl trying to take in as much as I could about this land that I know Absolutely nothing about but I think it was osiruses the uh god of the underworld is the idea But they put his tomb they created a tomb for him to be like the passageway for The the uh kings and all the people that they make pyramids for like including all the wives and stuff like that They made the osiruses tomb for when they die for their spirits to find an easy route to the underworld Um, so it was kind of looked at it as a very like positive way. I think which you think of underworld You think like yeah, but um it had a lot of respect and there was like it was insane and I could be mixing it up. So again if i'm speaking like incorrectly, that's my bad, but um We get there and they didn't tell me anything about this beforehand because I would love to not know because I love getting surprised right there And they hand me um a wetsuit and i'm like oh god This can't be good. What do we do?
And uh, they told they told me we're going to the tomb of osiruses and the tomb of osiruses is Not just a thing that you just go to it's we would we walked through a gate into this tunnel and There were egyptian guides that we had that wouldn't come with us past that point because they were worried that they would get like they were like This is bad energy like I don't know if they believed they would get cursed or like I don't want to speak for them But they were like to the point where they weren't willing to go in there, you know, I mean like some of some people that we were with and um We then walk through the tunnel and there's literally a 150 foot 200 foot ladder to go down That's rusted off of like snake eater. It was crazy. Yeah, it was like insane. We go down the ladder Go through another tunnel to another ladder that goes another some odd beat down.
This is this look at this. Oh my lord He literally is like snake. That's crazy. I guess the time code.
I can't believe I can't believe I like magically pulled that up Very impressive. Wait, so Right, right. I'm freaking out Indiana Jones will get up here. Wait, so how scary was it to even go down the ladder?
That seems like a lot and there were sections It was it felt like do you remember um, have you ever watched here to the way? You know the scene where she's like on the side with the pipes and you're like oh, I'm just waiting for the pipe to break Because it's gonna happen it felt like that and then it's some miraculous. They didn't um And then there's we get down and now we're in an area that have tombs and like a little offshoots of uh where people Um in ancient times were there to leave offerings so they would leave like oil and you know many different things for um Foro sineres is thanks for like safe travels to the underworld. I assume um and the next to that is one more ladder That's probably only 30 feet long But the last 10 feet are underwater and I'm climbing down the ladder and I'm now in water, you know So I mean I know you're wearing a wetsuit and you kind of have at least some knowledge of what's going on Yeah, was there any part of you that's like am I supposed to go in this water or no?
I could tell you with certainty less people will have been right here what you're seeing on the screen Then have been to the space Isn't in recent in modern times in modern times less people have been right there And then I went to go under the water car. What are you doing? So I hear that that's the coolest thing that's ever existed to me I'm like wow we are doing the and like people don't document as far as we like there's so many other than that section all over What we were doing in egypt that we're never documented to the full extent that we've documented with our cameras You know, I mean like a lot of it has almost never been shown to an average person just on youtube before, you know Which was surreal that to me. I just had to put your head in the water.
That seems like a choice my friend It was a choice But I thought it through and I'm I don't regret it. I'm not putting that a little bit. What does that mean you thought it through? First of all, we were the first people in modern history to be down there during night time And apparently I think either some or they or many people believe that that at night time is when they passageway to the underworld opens We're the only people in modern history that have done this and the passageway is not just his tomb It's in his sarcophagus because even though he wasn't you know, he didn't have a body He's like a god in this in this um he had a sarcophagus Like obviously because it's a tomb and they want to show respect and his sarcophagus is what is The gateway to the underworld and we're standing along the edges of the sarcophagus, but it's open and I'm like Well Tried it, you know, I mean, has anybody tried this to like go?
Technically, you know, if this is like their idea To go through to the underworld would be that and nobody's done it in modern history ever and I and I asked rami I was like, am I like is this disrespectful? Is it and he's like, I don't think it's disrespectful I'm like a lot of people wouldn't do it but like it's not disrespectful and I was like Well, I'm gonna try it. You know what I mean? And he's like, uh, you probably don't want to because you'd have to go underwater like like your head would have to be three or four feet underwater to do it and like Can't you in the chat bring something that I wanted to bring up like this is pretty much exactly what moonlight did I just want you to understand what I don't know the model care to moonlight like like the human who does this exact thing But okay, the curse of Osiris is like it's a thing And I was like I want to do it then I want to do it and I'm like I'm gonna give it a shot So I literally like when underwater I hate the way that that was cut I'm very upset at the way that that was because it looks like I didn't go all the way underwater and man Did I I I was full feet underwater?
I was feet underwater man and it cuts right as I'm going under Um, look at it go back. It went like a maybe five seconds Yeah, you didn't really show that I was like, you know, I was like full cent that You know, I was like I couldn't believe it. Um So, um, you are you okay? Did you get any type of uh sickness from this or anything?
Well, thanks for asking apparently still water. Uh, that's been still for thousands of years. Yeah, uh leads to getting an ear infection Yeah, yeah, I imagine that's you walked out if that's all you got there I got an ear infection. I did.
Um, that's insane But but I wanted to ask like that is a crazy example of where your life is now going doing something that like few people in the entire world have ever done Yeah, other things like that that you can't believe you've done. It's that and um, that is officially my favorite recording We've ever done. Uh, but it beat out I think over two years ago. We went to Antarctica which was my favorite recording we've ever done Uh, we went not just like two went to Antarctica But we went so deep into Antarctica that I think we were a three-hour flight away from anything living except for us You know what I mean?
Like we were deep in there. We were living in a camp of um Scientists that are there for like actual things that actually matter And not just camping in Antarctica. Uh, but that was a that was a whirlwind. I feel like yeah, there.
Yeah, but that's not me But you know, there we are. Um, there you are I spent um my whole time digging a hole. I had a Minecraft brain Yeah, I was like I feel like this video needs like a B plot and uh, I was having fun because like there was a section of our tent that Had an opening on the ground so I was like a B-fling if I secretly made a tunnel So I dug very deep and and we had um safety guides that were like any deeper and you're probably gonna cave in and die So probably chill out and I was like, okay fair enough, but it was like 8 feet deep. I'm pretty proud of this Dang dude.
Um, and that was it's hard to go. It was probably the craziest experience of my life because of this it was like Just snow you had to wear sunglasses outside or else you would get what was called snow blindness because of how bright the snow was Makes sense from the sun I see you pee Jesus Christ children with a lot of them. Um, all right. So this is crazy But these are just the mystery videos.
These are the normal youtube channel stuff. Yes, uh, this last week beast games Yep, the most record-breaking show of all time Uh, but literally like when we talk about world records. What was it? I think it was 43 or something 43 world records by the show including most expensive unscripted reality show of all time 42 42 after I took World record from the set I stole I stole a record ladies and gentlemen some of the people at Amazon are finding that out right now Yeah, and that's okay.
I mean this shows wild. Uh, kind of funny me and Mike were watching it week to week religiously Uh, what I love so much is that Gia was watching it and Gia is everybody knows she loves reality tv We are all the housewives and all that stuff, but she also loves survivor and the more competition based like, you know, the good stuff And survivor is legitimately a perfect show like it's so well designed that people that get that show and what makes it take Um, the competitions and challenges are so well thought out, but also it's about the people and it's about finding the storylines between the people Seeing these games kind of take that and just up the ante to such a ridiculous extent week after week And then every couple minutes seeing you show up on my tv screen car It made me giggle literally giggle every time I would see you it was it was pretty surreal to me It was easily the hardest I've worked in my entire life. It was easily the least amount I've ever slept in my entire life But it was the one of the most rewarding things we've ever done. I think it was always worth it It was so fun to me.
I had so much fun making that it was a dream to me It's crazy that you say it's the hardest you've ever worked because earlier you joke saying that like you don't have a real job and like Well, that might be true in terms of like just by definition or whatever the way you want to look at it I don't know how anyone can work harder than you do Like and there's a there's a level of people that I've met in my life that I feel very Uh thankful to have met and lucky to have met and to been around it's also very humbling because I think I work very hard But then I see people like Austin creator Xavier Woods and you that I'm just like how is this possible? But legitimately you in the last couple days have traveled to so many different places and like the the flights and the Time to even sleep and then having to do these you have the MBL start game working doing stuff And now here you are just hanging out, but it's worked like you work so hard like are you Are you okay? I think um, I Really enjoy like working on stuff. I really really enjoy it I also I feel like I'm pretty lucky to where I don't really need that much sleep I don't know if that's like scientifically a thing that actually sounds like Kevin man Really?
Yeah, that's such a chemical quality to say I really don't sleep that much as is like even if I had all the time the world I think I I kind of like my body like wakes myself up at like in six hours of sleeping even you know what I mean like I Uh, there's no way I probably slept on average like three hours a night during the filming of these games Like I was but it was really I was not overworked I like forced myself to get to be able to work with more spots. You know, I just loved it It was my favorite thing ever, you know, um, I don't know I feel like uncomfortable with like a full day off would be really really weird to me You know what I mean? Like it's just I don't like it but it's like uh not like a flex way I don't look at it like that because I feel like a lot of people like to talk about how The car is working in the grind and to me it's not really like that It's like just found the ability to do something that you love and it's still something that you love It's not something that you feel like you have to do I mean we're talking about like I Were you just talked about how much I'm traveling right and how much I've flown and how much how little I've slept But then obviously we can't speak about some of the stuff that I did But in that time frame I was at the NBA all-stars We did something with the baseball team like I said We did like I'm like who can ever be upset about this life You know, I mean like this is I'm so grateful for it, you know, so it's like cool And it's so well worth the work because it pays off so much in like such so many different ways, you know I don't want you to have to say anything you don't want to yes, but Do you have is there a goal still because I feel like you know, let's just say your goal was I want to work at IGN Yeah, now here you are with where you're at like do you still have something or you kind of just like I'm gonna take every opportunity and That's the goal. I really I don't ever want to feel like I um There was a fork in the road and and I don't mind if there's a fork in the road I made the wrong decision I I don't want to be there's a fork in the road and I made a decision based on like not willing to put in the work for the other Does that make sense?
Yeah, I think I don't really actually have a exact goal I mean like I do have goals like I really want to make sure like um My brother I want him to be able to do whatever he wants to do in his life I don't want him to just be lazy, but I also want him to know like he can strive for what he wants to get done and then not worry about If it doesn't work out, you know what I mean? Um, like that's the kind of stuff I have is like my goals, you know, um, but beyond that I really is just I just like doing this. I just want to take advantage of every opportunity. I keep trying to get you know, so Okay, this is a big question.
Okay. What do you do? I've no idea. I don't know yet.
I'm still figuring it out I it's funny because like there's times like there's times where I'm like I uh for instance Tyler again was like the the lead Of all of the uh creative for beast games and he like even just the amount that he let me access like what he what was definitely his baby Well, there were parts where I was like I don't even care if I'm on screen I love writing and I like just being a part of creating stuff. You know what I mean? Like I don't even know if it's always going to be that I'm in front of the camera I don't that's not the part that I do love and I am passionate about but it's not the passion to me You know what I mean? Yeah, so I've no idea like for sure.
I've no idea what I'm doing right now I know what I'm gonna be doing in three years. You know, I mean it's I've zero clue, you know, so that's kind of the fun part to me Yeah, absolutely. I and again only answer this to the extent that you want to or can but like Besides just being on camera for for beast games specifically, what did you do in these games like? Yeah, because obviously I mean if you watch these games like there's episodes where I'm not even like in it, you know, but um There was a lot there was a I felt that it was very important that there was somebody that the contestants could recognize That was kind of there if they were ever going through like struggles like struggles that come with it or like for instance I remember one of the days.
Um There was like complications with hotels. So like there was some like intestines that couldn't sleep in like one of the days before starting I mean and there was a complication to like 2 a.m. Or there were contestants waiting in a hotel lobby And I was like this is ridiculous and I need to go over there. You know what I mean?
I was like I should just be there with them because Um If they're there we have a great team on the back end that was there to like support them and be there for them But they also don't recognize those people they join for like the people that they recognized and like I wanted to be like Hey, this is terrible. I'm here for you. You know what I mean? Like so that kind of stuff was like important to me just being there for the contestants in general I it's it got to the point where like closer to the ending like episode 6 7 8 Um I started being like sad when contestants would get out like we like literally group connections if that makes sense um and other than that I Did do an okay amount of writing for the show in general?
Um, but just tried to help be like a tool for specifically Tyler again was the um Dude the brain. Yeah, and it will him and uh a guy named shonklitzner. So it's Tyler conklin and shonklitzner It's like they are like such a duo of shonklitzner I just have to give him his flowers for a second He is the guy that landed us Egypt everything that you saw in Egypt was shonklitzner and also was the guy that got us the ifel tower rented out And I'm like you're like you're right out the ifel tower What are you doing? How is like he is the best producer or we call that producing So whatever he calls that but like he's like probably the most problem solver I've met in my life and I think um those two together just like being a tool for them whenever they need me like what I did for the show Yeah, man.
So freaking cool man. All right. You're you're big. You're powerful.
You're successful. Mr. B. It all comes back to the video games car What was your first console?
Uh, my sister had an n64 but my first console was a ps2 That's like the first like we had it as a family. So yeah, the ps2 was my first thing jack and xer's my first game Hell yeah, perfect. It's just still great. It's still amazing.
Yeah, um, so getting into video games Like you earlier saying you worked at a retro game shop like obviously, uh, I got about 10 years on years Like there's a lot of different uh touch points for me But I feel like we're similar in the way that I fell in love with video games early on and wanted to go back and learn the history And like I wanted to play all the old stuff and all the old stuff Uh for you was that like did you fall in love after jack and xer and like then that was the moment? Yes, I mean the first game I ever played or maybe the first game I ever like beat probably with the help of like my older sister and like my Friends and stuff was majority mask. Oh, which is a perfect first game to be by the way. What a daddy's what a star studed lineup.
Yeah. Oh, yeah, um, but yeah Yeah, exactly. I think man that game I fell in love with I fell in love with majority mask so big jack and x yeah Pretty immediately was like this is the best like why why do people read books? So like what are you doing?
I was like, wow, okay. Um, yeah, I've always been obsessed with video games since I remember so now you play a lot Like your channel the Carl Jacobs youtube channel is mainly Minecraft stuff, right? And like you're really really good at it. Um, it's funny to say that Why because um When you looked at my channel like it's all Minecraft, but like a lot of it is basically us creating videos But like we use Minecraft as a set of course and you'd assume that I'm very good at Minecraft but I've competed in Minecraft championships before and The first one I ever competed in I we actually won so there's 40 people total all in teams of four and my team won But to this day I still have the record for being on the winning team as the lowest individual score I got 38 out of all 40 people but my team won so I am not good at mine.
Okay, you're just number 38 People ever like no, it's it's absolutely wild because I uh in the last couple days I've been like trying to see like what what's called actually making on his channel these days And I popped in and I was just watching a couple videos and I'm like, I'm so I shouldn't be shocked But I'm just so shocked at how much production is in your let's place like yeah Like and you said you use it as a set reminds me so much of rooster teeth using red versus or using halo to make red versus blue You are just making shows competition shows inside of Minecraft um, but it's it's so impressive But obviously you and your team have to spend so many hours playing Minecraft Do you have time to play other video games these days? Not as much as I want to be yeah, this is I did like I called it realistic wars in Minecraft So we like created a ton of mods to make this happen Um This is like private work, right like there's just so much production Our team has a proprietary camera system that we developed in Minecraft specifically because there's a really cool mod called replay mod That is open source. It's amazing the fact that it's free is crazy and like it's basically b-roll in Minecraft that you can get retroactively Um, but then it does have limitations, but it's just a free product But we were like all we want to be able to do like you know like to it Yeah, like very very more cinematic and um, yeah, they I have a whole team dedicated to just camerawork in Minecraft. It's so funny Um, how big is the coral jacobs team?
I think we probably have Maybe 15 full-time employees. I think it's amazing and um, they're amazing. I think it's I can't I'm so grateful I'm I literally have the best you know, I think I don't know how by happenstance It just happened this way and like a little by little we pieced it together with like who I think everybody's like the best of what they do It's the coolest thing ever. I love them so much.
It's amazing So good relate, but with the with with that so you don't have that much time to play games these days No, uh, but when you do have time do you find yourself playing new games? Are you going back to older stuff? Um, Right now I am playing Uh, need for speed most wanted. Yes you are for the xbox original.
Yes you are I set up a room in my house me and my roommate I live with a streamer called foolish and uh, we have a whole room in our house dedicated to retro stuff So I got like a 27 inch CR TV and we have like a bookshelf just filled with game cube xbox bs2 N64 s and like all of that just because we whatever we're like getting the chance Dude most wanted this is the remake. Yeah, this is the re-mail back. What are you? Sorry?
I didn't think you would notice That one didn't look enough piss yellow It was that era because most was posted underground underground too. You went from like all the colors to do you're just getting yellow bro Dude, I bet most wanted its cutscenes are to die for um, but I'm having so much fun with that. Yeah, that's all so what is the other formative? Carl games Um, uh, psychonauts is probably the most important game of my entire life.
I think it's bear love psychonauts. Yeah bear has good taste Psychonauts is persona bear. It's correct. There's a human.
I think Jack indexer as well. Yeah, there you go Jack indexer. We're doing it. You know what I mean?
Psychonauts is the funniest game that's ever been written to me I think Tim Schafer is the best writer in video games history. I don't I don't even know if it's close to me. Um, he's like my biggest inspiration It's amazing. Yeah, I would probably I don't know how I'd react if I saw him in person.
Where you're not No, I don't know how I'd react. Oh my god. I think I'd freeze like just on the spot. I think I'd start essentially crying Yeah, I mean it'd be a moment psychonauts.
Yeah, psychonauts for me is that I feel like there's more kingdom hearts is gigantic to me Um king of hearts, baby. Oh, yeah, have you seen mike go through kingdom hearts for the first time? I was watching a little bit of it. I love that because mike is just the opposite of a kingdom hearts fan When you picture exactly exactly god mike's taste of video games is one of my I'm so bummed.
He's not here today He's out doing business somewhere doing some fun stuff But uh the energy of snow bike mike is unlike anything else man. I have a DVD of this You get there. Yeah, so like mike the movie. I got him to sign it for me.
I love that. I love that so much Um, I'm trying to think where else do I want to go? Where we're wrapping up? Is there anything else that you you want to talk about?
Um, oh god, I should have thought of something. No, um, I mean I guess it's been cool on my end as well. So because I feel like we talked about your perspective of me It's been so cool to watch how you guys have evolved, you know, I think it's the coolest thing on the planet I think I love Something that I care about deeply for anything that I do is like I want to it's might be as random as anything I released a comic book whenever my fan base At the time was probably predominantly pre-teen to teen girls that don't that aren't the target demographic for comics But I the idea was like I grew up reading comics. I really like comics and maybe this is my chance to like open you guys to that And uh, it's really when I make anything the hope is it might be the most random thing on the planet But I'm gonna put a lot of work and heart into it and I think um You guys do that better than anything.
I think it's so cool. How many things you guys like try, you know, it's cool how like experimental you guys can be It's you know, it's like games showdown is like brand new and it's potentially the best show you guys have ever created You know, yeah, um, I see brand new I guess it's not new new like it's like kfaf I can't wait for it to come back Not me. I don't know that But yeah, it's just I think you guys are always doing such cool stuff and like every like to this day I always look to it as inspiration. It's like so cool to me.
Thank you so much That's seen and like felt and uh, yeah respected from everybody else whenever they watch your guys stuff It's like this is like a special channel to me. I really think so like probably the only channel I have consistently watched as often as I have For as long as I have, you know what I mean? Well, thank you so much that truly means a lot Thank you obviously for all of your support as being a patreon producer like it really goes a long way Uh, so many people are like all right Carl Jacobs like they can't be the Carl Jacobs and it is here he is sitting here Like thank you so much for all your support. What else do you say for your support?
Just showing up to things like mamokan, right? Like you know just like being in the chat like doing all this stuff like you are such a shining example of Anybody listening or watching right now can make it if you have the dream of like being a creator and doing things It's like it is possible. It's a lot of work. It's a lot of work, but it's possible man So it's I feel like I got a lot of um Really cool lucky breaks and I think uh the amount of lucky breaks that somebody might have in their life Definitely varies a lot.
I'm never gonna argue that and I think I am very lucky with the amount of opportunities I've had in my life Um, but I guess like the only like piece of advice that I'd have to anybody that's like dude How do I like do anything is like instead of trying to Capitalize on a lucky break that you were trying to generate yourself be ready for the lucky break whenever it gets there So like I went to college for video editing, you know, so that I could have that opportunity to be an editor for somebody It's not like I'm reaching out to edit to edit for a channel and then learning that you know I mean it's like it's putting the work to be ready for whenever a lucky break might come along and kind of set yourself up to receive that You know, yeah amazing stuff man. Well, thank you so much for uh taking some of your very very very busy time So it took about here and talked to us like I was saying you will be on game showdown I'm very very excited for that.
