Four, three, two, one. All right, we're live. What's up, man?

Colin O'Brady (0:09)

What's up, dude?

Joe Rogan (0:10)

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 Antarctica. How many days did it take you?

Colin O'Brady (0:26)

54 days.

Joe Rogan (0:27)

By yourself.

Colin O'Brady (0:27)

By myself.

Joe Rogan (0:28)

You're trekking across the fucking frozen tundra.

Colin O'Brady (0:32)

That was an endurance feat of its own. Yeah, just back up.

Joe Rogan (0:34)

No, 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?

Colin O'Brady (0:41)

Two more hours. Here we go.

Joe Rogan (0:42)

Crazy.

Colin O'Brady (0:43)

Yep, yep.

Joe Rogan (0:44)

Dude, what the fuck were you doing?

Colin O'Brady (0:46)

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 wind, kites, nothing. Just me dragging a 375 pound sled across Antarctica.

Joe Rogan (1:06)

I can't believe it only took you 54 days. Yeah. It's so big. Look at Antarctica on a map.

How long do you think it would take you to walk across America?

Colin O'Brady (1:16)

Well, we usually look at Antarctica on a map. This is 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 because it gets flat.

It's actually circular.

So I went from the edge of the Raan Ice Shelf 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.

Joe Rogan (1:37)

What do the flat earthers think about your traversing this area? This is what you did. This is how you made it.

Colin O'Brady (1:44)

There it is. Exactly.

Joe Rogan (1:45)

So you went to the center of the fucking earth basically.

Colin O'Brady (1:48)

There it is.

Joe Rogan (1:48)

You went to the top of the pole.

Colin O'Brady (1:49)

Yeah, bottom of the earth. Wow. Standing down there holding everyone up on my shoulders.

Joe Rogan (1:53)

Wow, so you were at the south pole, and then you trekked over to the ice shelf on the other side.

Colin O'Brady (1:59)

It's funny you say about the Flat Earthers though, because all jokes aside, I've been getting a lot of trolling on my Instagram page from the Flat Earthers. I've got guys going like, oh, I was doing this speech the other day.

People are super nice, come up in the Q&A afterwards, want to shake my hand, take a picture, whatever. And this guy walks up in this real earnest look on his face, and he's like, so I really wanted to ask you, how was the hole? And I was like, excuse me? He was like, you know, the hole at the center? And I was like, give me a little more. He was like, you know, like when you got to the edge?

And I was like, oh man, like you're really asking me this question right now. We were talking about this, I didn't quite know where to go with it. I was like, yeah, there was actually, at least I didn't see the edge, and the curvature kept going, and I made it to the other side.

Joe Rogan (2:44)

It is such a strange thing to believe, but people do.

People think people are trolling about that, and you know what? It actually started out. It's another 4chan thing, you know. Did you know that? Well, I'm sure there was probably somebody who believed it before that, but it started off people were trolling on 4chan, and then eventually people just started actually going, hey, I bet it is flat, and then they started believing it, and videos, YouTube videos popped up.

Colin O'Brady (3:08)

There's another YouTube video someone linked to me the other day, and I thought it had a few hundred views, but it had 28,000 views, and it was all these guys debating, like Colin proved that there's not a wall, like the wall, like there would be like Game of Thrones at the edge of the world. There's this whole conversation about that.

Joe Rogan (3:22)

I bet there's another 28,000 people. It's proved that Colin never actually went, because we know he's a new world order shill.
