- [MrBeast] Today, Maaz talks about three stories
in one video:
how he drowned in a pool, almost died in a river,
and how he ate a whale.
All of this is for #TeamSeas,
and for every dollar we raise,
we'll clean one pound of trash out of the ocean,
so click like and sub-
- [Maaz] Anybody that goes through a near-death experience
tends to walk out of it having their lives changed.
Make sense?
You know, you deal with the trauma
and you vow to never make that same mistake again.
So tell me why when I drowned,
I did it again, then somehow ate a whale.
Hi, my name is Maaz and I broken maritime law.
Oh, and thank you, Current,
for sponsoring this video more on this and #TeamSeas later.
So I'm not sure if you guys know this,
but I have a list for YouTube where I jot down all of my
cool stories or wacky experiences to help me make videos in
the future. Almost all of my content comes from this list,
but sometimes there are some tiny,
itty-bitty kitty stories
that don't really work as a standalone video.
I mean, who'd want to watch the story
about the poopy face incident,
or the time I actually bought five bags of apples,
or my experiences dating SpongeBob?
Well, not the YouTube algorithm. I'll tell you that.
(laughing) Yeah, I dated SpongeBob. (sniveling)
So as MrBeast said, in his final words,
I decided to combine
three of my mini stories into one package:
all about the ocean and general water shenanigans.
Wait, is that my anime headband?
One of my greatest weaknesses as a human being is that I
absolutely 100% cannot swim to save my own life.
In fact, that's what drowning is.
I mean, I could be in the kiddie pool and I'd still be like,
(shrieking) "Help, please!
(gurgling) I'm dying! (choking on water) Call 911!"
- [Kiddie-pool Baby] Ugh.
What an insolate child this lad is.
- [Maaz] So, flash back to primary school Maaz; innocent,
sense of joy intact, hadn't drowned yet
- where I was at a party over at my rich friend's house.
Now I knew he was rich because he had a pool.
And if that isn't a sign that you're making some serious
dosh, then I don't know what is.
I was swimming around the edges of the pool
because you know, the water is terrifying.
But seeing all my friends in the middle of the pool,
enjoying the water, having a blast,
I felt like I was missing out.
So in order to join them and get over the fear of swimming,
I took a step forward into the unknown and...
And as soon as I went under,
I thought I could probably just kick up from the bottom of
the pool to get back to the surface.
But then suddenly one of the kids' pool mat was over my
head. Like it was almost a little too quick.
- [Kid In Pool] Guys, we got him! Get on it, quick!
- [Maaz] So yeah, I started to drown.
Oh, Hey, I guess the same thing happened
to you as well, huh?
And as I was drowning,
it was finally time for my critical problem solving.
Okay, so let's lift the mat. Wait that wouldn't work.
You're just a child,
you're not that strong to lift that entire mat off.
I mean, who would think of such
a stupid hair brain dumb idea?
Jaiden Animation.
Well, all right, plan B:
swim to the side and get out.
- [Inner-Thoughts Maaz] We don't know how to swim.
- [Maaz] So plan C it is: death.
(applause)
- [Inner-Thoughts Maaz] Yep. That sounds pretty reasonable.
Wow, that sounds great. Mm-hm, mm-hm, I like that.
I've been waiting to die to be honest.
- [Maaz] Thankfully, I was quickly rescued
by my rich friend's mom who then gave
me a little swimming donut to keep me alive.
She then recommended swimming lessons to my mom,
but of course I didn't really care.
I was just hyped that I got my own swim ring.
And the coolest thing about it was that it was in the shape
of a sheep because of course it would. It's New Zealand.
(sheep bleating)
Wow.
I sure hope this isn't foreshadowing for an upcoming video
about New Zealand.
So this other time...
So this other time, now all the way in Pakistan,
my huge extended family were going out for a trip
towards the beautiful landscape of Swat valley.
Part of the trip involved going past a river,
but because it was so beautiful and not at all dangerous,
we decided to stop here for a little break.
And as soon as we were parked,
I started to wander for a bit alongside the river.
And that's when I saw something in the river itself.
I stopped to peer over the edge,
staring directly through the harsh,
rapid currents to examine what I'd found.
It was still not as clear. So I leaned in closer and closer,
the incredibly turbulent, super deep, and totally safe
river water just splashing my face at this point.
And that's when I realized that I'd [Bleep] up.
Gravity took hold and I couldn't help
but slowly fall over the edge;
getting closer to being swept away,
lost forever in the ocean.
But then I suddenly felt a tug from my nape
as I stopped inches away from the water surface and was
flung away from the river bed.
I looked up trying to gloss at the hero who had saved my
life.
And it was my dad.
And he didn't really even care at
all, actually.
Um, okay. Though whilst I'm out here
preparing for death...
- [Inner-Thoughts Maaz] Death! Is it happening?
Is it happening? It's finally happening!
Die! Die! Die! Die! It's happening!
Finally! I can't wait!
- [Maaz] My dad was just chatting to his friend
and he casually caught me almost like an annoyance.
Well thank you dad. Wow.
If you hadn't caught me,
I wouldn't have been able to live my life.
I couldn't have grown up, studied to be a doctor,
become a YouTuber.
- [Dad] (outraged) A YouTuber?
So this next story happened in Japan.
When we were living there,
my mom and dad were often busy working away as doctors.
So who took care of myself and my
oh-so-precious brother?
My nanny, of course!
She was super important in my early life.
So much so that I lovingly called her Okaasan,
which basically means mom and Japanese. I'm sorry, real mom.
And the best part about Okaasan is the fact
that she is crazy with Japanese cuisine.
We would go around every day and just taste different facets
of Japanese cuisine.
Like taiyaki, dango, and this bread
that's shaped like Bakugo.
I'm going to vor Bakugo.
But then one day, Okaasan just casually brings me to a
Bazaar and hands me some sushi.
Now I'm an absolute sea food addict.
So young Maaz didn't think anything of it.
I grabbed the tiny pieces and threw them down my gullet and
oh, it was delicious.
The flavor just melted in your mouth
and young Maaz had never tasted such exquisite food
in his peewee life.
And as I was chomping away,
- [Whale] How is it?
- [Maaz] It's delicious. MrBeast?
- [Whale] This is whale.
- [Maaz] Say psych right now.
- [Whale] It's whale, you know,
giant majestic creature, endangered,
super unethical to kill and eat; isn't it delicious?
- [Maaz] Oh my gosh, the whale is with Bakugo. But hey,
childhood trauma happens and I made a mistake in the past,
but as long as I'm trying to change and not eat any more
whales in the future, I think it should be okay.
- [Okaasan] Maaz, why are you on a boat with a harpoon?
- [Maaz] Okaasan, I'm off to join a noble cause.
You wouldn't understand.
Goodbye, Okaasan.
Oh, and my real parents.
Ah, now I've finally arrived
at this filthy disgusting ocean and hey,
I may not be able to swim, but oh!
Wait, is that my anime headband?
Now that I'm here,
I want to thank Current for sponsoring this video.
Get it, Current? 'Cause I'm under water.
Wait, wait, no! I was kidding.
Current is the future of mobile banking,
making it super easy and convenient for you to request and
send money around to your friends.
It basically takes away a lot of the confusion and hassle
from banking and it's all accessible on your phone.
It's a super advanced financial tech company and they have
been super duper cool to work with.
Making these style of videos take a huge amount of time
and trying to wrangle my team to tackle them can cost a lot.
Which is why I'm legitimately super grateful for Current who
were like, "Hi, I'ma cover the cost for the video."
Thank you, Papí.
