00:00 So I feel good.
00:02 I've never said I feel good before.
00:04 Found myself literally in a helicopter
00:07 being whisked out like in a M*A*S*H movie
00:09 up into the Himalayas
00:10 and was confronted with something I've never seen before,
00:13 which was a mountain that internally had an avalanche
00:17 with millions of tons of rock
00:20 and a huge cavity inside the mountain.
00:22 The miracle was 41 people on the other side alive.
00:26 I don't think, hopefully I won't have to do this again.
00:28 Once in a lifetime, and I've never seen anything like this
00:31 in my life.
00:32 At a time when the whole world is completely,
00:35 I don't wanna swear, but like bloody stupid,
00:38 like totally insane, mucked up,
00:41 here is a disaster where everyone's actually being nice
00:45 and we're all working together.
00:48 And we put away all our political differences
00:51 and it doesn't matter what God you're from,
00:53 or into, it doesn't matter what country you're from.
00:56 I don't know how we did it myself.
