- Four, three, two, one. All right, we're live. What's up, man? - What's up, dude? - What's hilarious, folks? I have to tell you this. I did a podcast earlier today, and he said, "Wow, it's your second for the day." He goes, "Impressive endurance." Do you know how fucking ridiculous that is for you to say? This is a guy who walked across, Antarctic, how many days did it take you? - 54 days. - Buy yourself. - Buy myself. It's gonna cross the fucking frozen tundra. - That was an endurance feat of its own. Yeah, just back up. - Well, that's a real endurance feat. I'm just sitting down talking to people. Oh my God, you talked already for two hours. How do you do it? - Two more hours, here we go. Yeah. - Crazy. - Yup, yup. - Dude, what the fuck were you doing? - Just getting back, actually, still practically have the snow on my shoes. Yeah, I got back about a month ago, 54 day journey. First person in history to cross the entire continent, solo, unsupported, so no resupplies throughout the thing, no aid, no win kites, nothing, just me dragging a 375 pound sled across Antarctica. - I can't believe it only took you 54 days. - Yeah, it's so big. Look at Antarctica on a map. Like, how long do you think it would take you to walk across America? - Well, you got, so we usually look at Antarctica on a map. This hilarious, I have showed people a picture of Antarctica. You're a smart guy, you probably noticed, but usually people see it on a map projection 'cause I think it's flat, right? It's actually circular, so I went from the edge of the Ron ice shelf to the via the South Pole to the Ross ice shelf. So basically kind of a diagonal across through the center and then back to the other ice shelf. - What do the flat earthers think about your traversing this area?
