00:00So FireFest 2. Yeah it's happening. We're seven months away. April 25th, 2025. I love that for
00:08you. So the location is a private island. It's in Mexico. It's like this incredible private island in
00:13the Caribbean Sea. It has the white sand beaches, the blue water, you know the whole fire vibe.
00:18And I think what's really important is people have no idea what to expect from fire. You're
00:22not going to be sitting there watching an artist like sing and dance on stage. You're going to be
00:26in your bathing suit. You're going to get wet. You might get a little dirty. We'll have some
00:30scuba diving, some skydiving, karate combat fights on the beach. And we're building this insane
00:35floating stage. So we're working on figuring out who the headliner is now to literally like walk
00:39on the water and uh and perform with fire too. I love that. So it's not going to be so music
00:44focused per se. Music is the backdrop but I really believe there's some magic in these small
00:50virgin remote islands. And I think there's nothing better than going with your friends and experiencing
00:54that magic. So I feel like it's my job to share that magic with 3,000 people. But a little
00:59challenge this week. Since we announced the location on Monday, people have applied for 20,000
01:04tickets and the island only holds 3,000 people. So not sure we're going to do yet but we'll figure
01:09it out. Now when it comes to like um celebrities, have some celebs reached out like listen you know
01:16I want my ticket. I gotta have first dibs. Yeah we've had a lot actually apply to buy the expensive
01:20tickets over the past few days. No way. Can you name any or no? Not gonna name drop them yet. So
01:26please keep coming in guys. But I think like next week's problem is uh is booking the talent.
01:30And really want to make sure it's across all genres. So some electronic, some hip-hop, some rap,
01:35of course the pop and the rock. So we're working through it now. But have these incredible festival
01:39partners who do this for a living. So yeah they'll lead that and I'm here to make it well. I mean I
01:44noticed like kind of a far throw but Jabul has you know he's made a comeback after a while.
01:48Actually I'm gonna try to call 50 Cent later today to see if he'll come and headline maybe
01:52Sunday night. So no way. So you think 50. Okay so first time Jabul, this time 50. Yeah we gotta
01:58get 50 Cent to spot so he could do what Jabul never could.
