generational video.
50:51
It is, you know.
50:53
So that's been pretty much the only time...
50:59
when I've kind of been like, right, this is, you know, I was in Nagaland at the time, actually, when they called me up and they said, you've got to be in North Korea tomorrow, whatever it was.
51:06
And I called my dad and I was like, I was like, oh, I don't know what to do.
51:10
I'd have to take another fucking four flights to get to, you know, Yangji, China tomorrow.
51:15
But that says, you know, people aren't going to remember the second guy that got in after five years.

But I feel like people now are seeing this video and thinking, for every video that's out there, and thinking, how can I one-up that? And how can I do something better? So in a world of so much amazing content, do you have any advice for people who want to be not the next Mike O'Keefe, but their version of that and how they can weave a path in the middle of all these people doing these crazy things?

There is so much on the Chinese version of the internet.

So I reached out to this girl, and I was like, "Hey, look, I really love your stuff.
23:19
I think you're really cool.
23:20
Um, would you be keen to, uh, either like travel with me for some time or at the very least share some, share some of your ideas with me and, uh, and see if we can make something happen that way?" Um, and she was fucking awesome, man.
23:34
She told me about this cave village.
23:38
It's crazy, bro.
