00:00 (motorcycle engine roaring)
00:03 (upbeat music)
00:06 Unfortunately, our time at base camp
00:11 is coming towards an end.
00:12 We can't afford to climb any of the mountains around here,
00:14 nor do we have the permits.
00:16 So it's time to head back to Kathmandu.
00:19 - But that's easier said than done.
00:21 - Normally we'd have to trek about six days
00:25 back to Lukla and then fly to Kathmandu.
00:29 But, called up Big Cat and asked for a favor.
00:33 A few days ago, I hit up Big Cat
00:35 and made the most important pitch of my career.
00:38 - Donnie.
00:39 - Hey, how are you man?
00:40 - I'm here with Max and I brought my lawyer, Jerry.
00:44 - Hey Donnie.
00:45 - So first and foremost,
00:45 thanks for the two bags of Stella Blue beans.
00:49 I will continue to take scenic photos
00:51 and incorporate them into the videos.
00:53 - They're awesome.
00:54 Everyone makes me smile.
00:56 - Now the reason I'm calling you
00:57 is I was crunching some numbers
00:59 and it looks like that after our eight day hike
01:03 up to base camp,
01:05 our budget that we got from Barstool
01:07 is gonna be running low.
01:09 And the only option to get back to Kathmandu
01:12 is gonna be a five day hike
01:15 back down to the world's most dangerous airport
01:18 where we can then fly back to Kathmandu
01:21 and then fly back to the US.
01:23 Or we could get a helicopter
01:25 that goes direct from Everest base camp
01:29 to Kathmandu for about two to three K tops.
01:34 And that includes both me and Michelangelo.
01:37 - This is just a money grab right now.
01:40 - Are you money grabbing?
01:41 - Well, here is what I propose.
01:44 If Stella Blue Corp was willing to cover
01:47 the cost of that copter,
01:49 here's what I can promise you.
01:51 A Stella Blue music video filmed at Everest base camp
01:55 and as many ad reads as you would like.
01:58 - Okay, so this sounds interesting.
02:01 Do I give them my credit card if I were to do it
02:04 or are you just gonna do it and then you get reimbursed?
02:07 - I could put it on my card
02:09 and then send the receipt into the Stella Blue offices,
02:12 but that's only if you agree.
02:14 So I know we're really putting you on the spot.
02:16 - With my legal counsel here,
02:17 I think what we should do
02:19 is you should expense the helicopter
02:22 and then Stella Blue will back it.
02:25 And when I say that, I mean,
02:27 when you fill out your expense report,
02:29 just tell them Big Cat said it's okay
02:31 and then I don't have to pay anything.
02:33 - Okay, yeah.
02:35 I think that could work.
02:36 - So yeah, approved.
02:38 - Approved.
02:38 - Approved.
02:39 - Well, the only thing I need to know
02:41 is whether or not you want the Stella Blue music video
02:45 filmed at Everest base camp.
02:47 - I want it all, I want it all.
02:49 Listen, this is called a little bit,
02:51 this is called what we call in the business world,
02:53 a little double dip.
02:54 We're all winning.
02:55 You're getting the copter,
02:57 I'm getting the Stella Blue promotion
02:59 and none of us are paying for it.
03:01 - That sounds sick.
03:02 - Yeah, right, exactly.
03:03 Isn't that a good plan?
03:05 And if they don't, if they, for some reason,
03:07 say they're not gonna pay for it,
03:10 I'm gonna say, okay, I quit.
03:12 - Oh yes.
03:13 - Yeah, I have that card.
03:14 I can play it at any time.
03:15 - It's a good card.
03:16 - I've been waiting for this moment
03:17 for a $2,000 helicopter to play this card.
03:20 - Right, boom.
03:22 Looks like we got ourselves a deal.
03:24 - Perfect, and my lawyer, my lawyer just wanna,
03:26 you sign off?
03:27 - I sign off.
03:28 - Yeah, Donnie.
03:28 - Okay.
03:29 - Everything is good.
03:30 - Jerry signs off.
03:31 - All right, well, good luck and stay safe, all right?
03:33 - Safety first, coffee second.
03:35 - Well, no, coffee first, coffee first, coffee first.
03:38 - Coffee keeps you safe.
03:39 - The helicopter's going down,
03:41 make sure you get one last, you know, swipe up.
03:43 - And also, I wanna say, if like the helicopter,
03:46 if something happens, it is not your fault at all.
03:48 You are not liable.
03:50 - Come on, we know that.
03:51 - Legally, we know that.
03:51 - We're not, we know that, we know that.
03:54 - Yeah.
03:55 - Don't worry about that.
03:55 (laughing)
03:57 - All right, see you, man.
03:57 - I'll talk to you.
03:58 - All right.
03:59 - All right, bye.
04:00 - I think that went well.
04:04 - All right, Stella Blue to the rescue.
04:07 They've officially sent the copters up to base camp,
04:09 should be arriving in the next 20 to 30.
04:13 And yeah, those birds are gonna bring us
04:17 all the way back to Kathmandu.
04:19 But first I had to say farewell to all my new friends,
04:22 who would start working their way up the summit that night.
04:25 All right, Jacob, this is where my journey ends
04:28 and your journey really begins.
04:30 It was a pleasure getting to know you
04:32 these last seven days, and best of luck
04:36 on becoming the first Native American
04:38 to summit Everest and Lhotse.
04:39 - Hopefully the body holds up and the lungs and legs do well.
04:42 - If you fail, it won't be because of your body.
04:45 It will be because mother nature fucked you in the ass.
04:47 (laughing)
04:50 - We're gonna give it a shot and we'll see how it goes, man.
04:53 - So you guys are heading to tackle
04:56 the Khumbu Icefall tonight, right?
04:58 - That's the plan.
04:59 - Wow, going through that thing in the dark
05:04 sounds insane to me, but it's also,
05:06 that's like one of the safest times to do it
05:08 'cause the sun's not out,
05:10 you don't have to worry about it shifting.
05:12 - Right, well, and it's less daunting when it's in the dark
05:15 'cause you can't exactly see all the dangers around you.
05:18 So sometimes a little bit of darkness
05:20 and not understanding exactly what's going on
05:23 can be a good thing psychologically.
05:25 - Yep, in the dark you just put one foot
05:27 in front of the other.
05:28 - That's the plan.
05:29 You guys have been amazing, you and Michelangelo both,
05:31 and I have no doubts that if you come back
05:35 and you're prepared that you guys could make a run for it.
05:38 As the expedition has progressed,
05:39 you guys have only gotten stronger and stronger.
05:42 - Thank you, man, see you at the summit.
05:44 - All right, sounds good, man.
05:45 Nims, thank you so much for hosting me up here.
05:49 - My pleasure, bro.
05:49 - It was a fun few days.
05:50 - I hope you had a great experience.
05:52 - I did.
05:53 Being up in the mountains, it's beautiful.
05:55 I see why you spent so much of your time up here.
05:58 - Thank you.
05:59 - Good luck up there.
05:59 - Thank you so much.
06:01 It's been an absolute pleasure hiking with you guys.
06:03 You've done more than we expected.
06:05 - Yeah.
06:06 - Wish you could be up in the mountain with us.
06:07 - Stay in touch about space.
06:09 - I'll stay in touch about space, absolutely.
06:11 - If I can get to space in the next 10 years,
06:12 that would be a dream.
06:13 - We've got plenty of opportunities for you, buddy.
06:15 - No problems at all.
06:16 - Awesome.
06:17 - We can get you up in the balloon
06:18 or we can get you up in a spaceship.
06:20 - Yeah, either or would do.
06:24 - Donnie, wait.
06:25 - Oh, see you later, man.
06:27 - See ya.
06:28 - If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be on this trip.
06:30 - That's true.
06:31 - Yeah.
06:32 - If you weren't on this trip, I wouldn't be happy, so.
06:34 - Oh, wow, that was heartfelt.
06:37 - Yeah.
06:38 - Well, it's time for me to go down
06:39 and it's time for you to go up.
06:40 Best of luck.
06:41 - Thank you.
06:42 - Film some footage up there.
06:43 - I will.
06:44 - And we'll throw it in the end of the video series.
06:47 - Sounds good.
06:48 My lifeless body just sliding down the side of the mountain.
06:50 - Yes, exactly.
06:51 It was also time to say goodbye to Base Camp
06:54 and the mighty Saga Martha.
06:56 But it just dawned on me,
06:57 I think we went this entire series
06:59 without ever seeing Mount Everest.
07:01 We got a peek of Big F one day.
07:02 I don't know if you could even see it in your shot,
07:06 but yeah, we saw it.
07:08 Base Camp isn't really the place to go
07:10 for Everest views, though.
07:12 Base Camp is the place to go to test your fortitude,
07:17 mental and physical.
07:19 But yeah, we have officially survived.
07:23 I was sleeping great up here,
07:24 probably averaging seven to 10 hours a night.
07:27 Michelangelo was averaging 15 to 30 minutes, maybe.
07:32 Yeah, so it's probably for the best
07:36 we're heading back to Kathmandu.
07:38 I think we did a lot better than people expected.
07:41 This place is actually cooler than I expected, too.
07:44 When this trip was first proposed to me,
07:47 I was like, isn't it gonna get a little boring?
07:48 Just like eight days of hiking.
07:50 And then we arrived, see some people in tents,
07:53 and just turn back, hike another five days and go home.
07:58 But I was impressed.
08:01 You meet a lot of really cool people on that trek.
08:03 You see a lot of really cool shit.
08:06 And you experience a lot of cool culture.
08:11 So I'm definitely glad I came.
08:13 And next time we're going even higher.
08:16 Shout out this dude.
08:17 Hey, sir, would you mind shouting out Stella Blue?
08:22 Can I help?
08:23 I can help carry.
08:25 And you can carry the blue?
08:28 All right, nope, that trade.
08:32 Thought that'd be a nice way to end it,
08:33 but nope, that just probably made his trek a lot harder.
08:38 Okay.
08:40 Oh, and don't think I forgot
08:41 about the Stella Blue music video I promised Big Cat.

12:34 Oh shit.
12:35 Okay, it's getting too dark.
12:39 So the bird had to stop here.
12:41 I don't know what is the name of this town
12:43 or if it's even a town.
12:44 Would you call this a town?
12:46 - I'd call this a village.
12:48 - This is, I do not think this is even a village.
12:52 - Yeah.
12:53 - This is definitely not a village.
12:54 This is, this is an outpost.
12:56 - Yeah, yeah.
12:57 - But I do see some tea houses over there.
13:00 So we're going to crash.
13:01 Shout out Stella Blue for getting us this far.
13:04 Tomorrow we still have two more helicopter rides to take.
13:07 One to Lukla and then one from Lukla to Katmandu,
13:10 which is going to be like 45 minutes in a helicopter.
13:12 Big Cat said, "I don't care how many helicopters it takes.
13:15 I'm going to get you from Everest Base Camp to Katmandu."
13:19 And that's what he's in the process of trying to accomplish.
13:23 Look at this place right here.
13:25 This is fucking beautiful.
13:28 Those mountains in the background.
13:30 I specifically asked for a blue copter though.
13:33 This is, this is fucked up.
13:34 Oh, it's the 9N Anal.
13:36 All right, let's get some sleep
13:38 and get back on the horse tomorrow.
13:41 We checked into a guest house for the night.
13:46 And the next morning, it was back to the bird.
13:51 Good morning.
13:52 We are headed to catch the second leg
13:55 of our helicopter journey.
13:57 Parachay to Lukla.
13:59 This might be the most beautiful sight of my life.
14:02 A nice bubbling mountain stream,
14:04 helicopter waiting to take us back to civilization.
14:07 Beautiful mountains.
14:08 Does not get any better.
14:10 Oh, we picked up a pupper.
14:14 Hey buddy.
14:15 Dude, I love these dogs.
14:16 Is this like its own Nepalese breed of dog?
14:24 Only issue was the copters windshields
14:26 had frosted up overnight.
14:28 Should pour some hot Stella blue on the windshield.
14:31 That would defrost it.
14:32 Stella blue had the bird thought out in no time.
14:42 And the pilot gave us the go ahead to board.
14:45 Leg two.
14:47 (upbeat music)
15:16 All right, back in Lukla.
15:18 Where this trek really began over a week ago.
15:23 Seems like we were here just yesterday.
15:26 Actually, no, it seems like a month ago.
15:28 Beautiful morning.
15:30 Okay.
15:39 Just grabbed breakfast in Lukla
15:42 and now our third chopper is ready.
15:47 Is this us?
15:48 Holy shit.
15:50 This is it baby.
15:59 The last bolts.
16:02 (upbeat music)
16:05 (dramatic music)
16:07 (dramatic music)
16:10 (dramatic music)
16:13 (dramatic music)
16:16 (dramatic music)
16:18 (dramatic music)
16:21 (dramatic music)
16:24 (dramatic music)
16:27 (dramatic music)
16:30 (dramatic music)
16:53 (dramatic music)
16:56 (dramatic music)
16:59 (dramatic music)
17:01 (dramatic music)
17:04 (dramatic music)
17:07 (dramatic music)
17:32 (dramatic music)
17:35 (dramatic music)
17:50 (dramatic music)
17:53 (dramatic music)
18:08 (dramatic music)
18:11 So we got from Everspace Camp to Kathmandu
18:38 in only an hour and a half in a helicopter.
18:41 Granted, we did have to spend the night in Parachay,
18:46 but we are back in Kathmandu.
18:48 Couldn't have done it without Stella Blue.
18:51 The weather is tropical,
18:53 especially compared to the tundra we were dealing with
18:56 up at the camp.
18:58 But hey, we did it.
19:00 Thank you, sir.
19:01 I'll give this back to you too.
19:05 - You're welcome.
19:08 - You're wearing the blue jacket too.
19:11 - Big cat, but you have a dog here.
19:13 - Stella is the name of his dog.
19:15 So that's why he calls the coffee.
19:18 - What about the cat?
19:19 - Big cat, his name is Big Cat.
19:21 And your name?
19:23 - Subit.
19:24 - Subit.
19:25 He was one of the pilots who saved the Indian guy
19:28 on Annapurna.
19:29 - Annapurna one, yeah.
19:30 - How long ago was that?
19:32 - A week ago.
19:33 - That was a week ago.
19:34 An Indian guy got trapped in a crevice on Annapurna
19:38 and you were the guy to rescue him.
19:40 - We had a team of seven people.
19:42 And me as a pilot, I had to drop them to a spot.
19:45 They were the one to take him out from the crevice.
19:48 I didn't go inside the crevice, but yeah.
19:50 - Well, everyone there played a very important role.
19:53 Mountaineering's a team sport.
19:54 You can't do it alone, but if everyone works together,
19:57 you can save lives and you can reach summits.
20:00 - That is so true.
20:00 - Yes.
20:01 - And you can get us back to Kathmandu.
20:04 - Cheers for this.
20:05 (dramatic music)
20:09 (upbeat music)
20:30 (upbeat music)
20:32 (upbeat music)
20:35 (upbeat music)
