- 1:14Speaker 3: He's smart like you.
- 1:16Speaker 2: So we wanted to watch that because we love anything
- 1:18Speaker 2: that's like treasure hunting kind of thing. So we start
- 1:21Speaker 2: watching the show about His name's Forespin is a millionaire.
- 1:25Speaker 2: He decides to write a book and in the book
- 1:27Speaker 2: he writes a poem. The poem has some clues in
- 1:30Speaker 2: it to find this treasure that he is buried somewhere
- 1:34Speaker 2: worth close to two million dollars. Oh, so he goes
- 1:38Speaker 2: in he hights.
- 1:39Speaker 1: So we've got a multimillionaire who's buried treasure worth two
- 1:41Speaker 1: million dollars and he's written a poem about how you
- 1:44Speaker 1: can find.
- 1:44Speaker 2: It's smart marketing.
- 1:45Speaker 1: Huh, all right?
- 1:46Speaker 2: Did he write a book too? I think the whole
- 1:49Speaker 2: reason was the book? Okay? I think he wanted people
- 1:52Speaker 2: to buy the bus, like what would be that? Because
- 1:53Speaker 2: he was once quoted saying, who's going to care about me?
- 1:56Speaker 1: Or know?
- 1:56Speaker 2: So he writes this book it's got this treasure, and
- 1:59Speaker 2: it's basically got the poem that's the hunt got it.
- 2:01Speaker 2: So it grows and it grows. He starts getting all
- 2:04Speaker 2: this exposure and people start exploring, and it becomes like
- 2:08Speaker 2: thousands of people looking for this gold and they're documenting it,
- 2:11Speaker 2: they're putting it on YouTube, they're putting on TikTok. It's
- 2:14Speaker 2: becomes this thing.
- 2:15Speaker 3: I love it.
- 2:16Speaker 2: So it's so crazy because you're he's in there interviewing
- 2:19Speaker 2: all these people and they're talking about their own experiences.
- 2:21Speaker 2: One guy even lost his brother in the midst of it.
- 2:24Speaker 2: Oh along the journey, along the Yeah, he ended his
- 2:27Speaker 2: life himself. But he ended it like on the exploration.
- 2:31Speaker 2: Oh yeah, like pretty sad. And and forgive me if
- 2:33Speaker 2: I'm giving any spoiler alerts. So okay. So it gets
- 2:37Speaker 2: to this point where the treasure has been found, so
- 2:41Speaker 2: Forrest decides to just send out a message to all
- 2:44Speaker 2: of his followers that says it's been found, like stop looking,
- 2:48Speaker 2: and everyone is devastated.
- 2:51Speaker 3: Why didn't you just tell the guy to do it?
- 2:53Speaker 2: He did it. He just put it out there. And
- 2:55Speaker 2: the guy didn't want to be known aymous, He wanted
- 2:57Speaker 2: it to be anonymous. And so people start coming up
- 3:00Speaker 2: with conspiracy theories like this is fake, this isn't real.
- 3:03Speaker 2: I probably would have thought that. I thought so too,
- 3:05Speaker 2: And they're like, no, this isn't true. But for he
- 3:09Speaker 2: ends up. People are so upset about it. He ends
- 3:12Speaker 2: up having to disclose who the guy is, and so
- 3:15Speaker 2: he discloses who it is, but he doesn't really say
- 3:18Speaker 2: where it is, but in time he does so then
- 3:21Speaker 2: people start going to the spot where it was found
- 3:23Speaker 2: and they figured out. But you realize in the show
- 3:27Speaker 2: that everyone was so devastated because the hope, the journey,
- 3:33Speaker 2: the the that was over, and that because they're sharing
- 3:36Speaker 2: it with people, they're sharing it with each other, and
- 3:39Speaker 2: that one of the coolest things to me is one
- 3:42Speaker 2: of the explorers that was so devastated when he didn't
- 3:45Speaker 2: find it. He all that stuff that was in it.
- 3:48Speaker 2: It was found two million dollars worth of stuff, jewelry
- 3:51Speaker 2: and gold. It goes up to auction, he buys it all.
- 3:58Speaker 2: Oh my god, buys it all and then makes his
- 4:01Speaker 2: own treasure chest. And now he is going to go
- 4:04Speaker 2: hide it and do the same thing because and actually
- 4:08Speaker 2: he is the man who lost his brother. Oh it's
- 4:10Speaker 2: kind of yes, and then it's like, look, But to me,
- 4:15Speaker 2: I was so moved by it because I realized that's
- 4:18Speaker 2: what it's all about. We're about the journey. Wanting to
- 4:21Speaker 2: be on a journey with Hope looking for something wonderful, good, creative,
- 4:26Speaker 2: whatever it is, and it's who we share it with.
- 4:28Speaker 2: That that is that life, isn't it?
- 4:31Speaker 1: Like you?
- 4:32Speaker 3: I mean, you hear of these people who let's say
- 4:35Speaker 3: the super Bowl or you know, the big whatever that
- 4:38Speaker 3: you know that encapsulates the top of everything, the top
- 4:41Speaker 3: of the game. When they finally get there, they always
- 4:43Speaker 3: talk about the journey. Yes, they talk about missing having
- 4:47Speaker 3: to work for this and meet this goal and you
- 4:49Speaker 3: have these people that you bring along the way, and
- 4:51Speaker 3: they just they talk about the journey more than that.
- 4:55Speaker 3: You know, the tip where they reached the top of
- 4:57Speaker 3: the mountain. Yeah, the pinnacle. So I love this. So
- 5:01Speaker 3: was the guy? So the guy that found it was
- 5:04Speaker 3: he like one of them where he really did you know,
- 5:07Speaker 3: he just he didn't just happen upon it like he
- 5:09Speaker 3: was one of them here.
- 5:10Speaker 2: He was one of them. And they after they realized
- 5:12Speaker 2: who it was, they realized, no, he's a smart guy.
- 5:15Speaker 2: He was definitely one of us. You know, before they
- 5:17Speaker 2: knew who he was, they had all of these theories.
- 5:19Speaker 2: But then when they realized who he was, they're like, no,
- 5:20Speaker 2: he's really smart and he really did this the right way.
- 5:23Speaker 2: And then they were okay with it.
- 5:24Speaker 3: But it was what amza to watch it? It's so
- 5:27Speaker 3: symbolic of life. I just I have to watch this.
- 5:30Speaker 3: I had chills three times when you were talking about it.
- 5:32Speaker 3: I'm so I'm so interested in the guy that lost
- 5:36Speaker 3: his brother, who is re Yeah. I wonder what that
- 5:40Speaker 3: does for him psychologically. Yeah, you know what I mean,
