joshua carroll says question for
[1]
lafreniere apart from linus paying you
[3]
less than minimum wage in the beginning
[5]
that was actually
[6]
his fault
[7]
um what is the worst professional
[9]
experience you've had with linus
[12]
he sits back
[15]
um wow i don't know um
[21]
there's so many it's hard to narrow it
[23]
down to just one
[25]
there's i mean we've been working
[26]
together for i genuinely what is 11
[28]
years i think it's been a long time um
[32]
so there's obviously been ups and downs
[36]
i think it's been pretty good though
[38]
there's
[40]
there's things that i can complain about
[43]
but if i was in his shoes i would have
[44]
done the same thing
[48]
and if he didn't do that thing
[49]
ultimately i think it would have been a
[51]
mistake
[52]
like i rag on you a lot maybe i can i've
[54]
definitely done stuff wrong you have to
[56]
come up with something i know you've
[58]
done stuff wrong but like i don't know
[60]
like okay the mountain thing i rag on
[62]
you about the mountain thing all the
[63]
time okay but if you didn't
[65]
i'm gonna give you an out here if you
[66]
didn't go down the mountain to get that
[68]
thing signed i would have been so
[70]
cheesed
[71]
if we did all that work and it was for
[73]
nothing so like yeah part of me is like
[75]
bro
[77]
what the heck but then the other part of
[78]
me is like yeah if you didn't did it i
[80]
would have been even more upset so it
[82]
was just an unfortunate situation so i
[84]
actually don't remember the exact reason
[87]
that i went down with uh what was his
[89]
name
[90]
john
[91]
i think you were trying to catch
[94]
someone because they were up ahead of us
[95]
the guy that i and you realized we
[96]
needed his signature yes and then i
[98]
believe by the time you caught up to him
[100]
you were way i was way past you yeah
[103]
yeah
[104]
uh so luke ended up getting like
[106]
abandoned in a storm on the top of a
[108]
mountain
[109]
because i was like blitzing down the
[112]
mountain trying to get the validation
[113]
that we needed for our guinness world
[115]
record while i had
[118]
altitude sickness which is the problem
[119]
so i was i was like having a really
[121]
rough time i'm walking downhill which
[124]
uh if you haven't hiked before it's
[126]
actually still difficult it's not as
[127]
easy as it sounds um i don't have
[129]
trouble with it
[130]
so i was like
[132]
going so altitude sickness is like
[135]
oxygenation levels and stuff i'm a big
[137]
dude um i was huffing and puffing and my
[140]
oxygen levels were getting low and i was
[141]
feeling really not good eventually i get
[144]
to the tree line
[146]
and breathe deep and then i'm totally
[147]
fine i end up like carrying someone else
[149]
down half the freaking mountain i was
[151]
totally okay once i was able to breathe
[153]
properly but i was having a big issue
[155]
getting back to the trees but end up
[157]
being fine i uh
[159]
my backpack
[161]
which is actually right here with me now
[163]
um
[164]
it was heavy
[166]
because we were carrying like a bunch of
[168]
unnecessary stuff um so i was like just
[171]
throwing it
[172]
because the mountain was pretty steep so
[174]
i would just throw it and it would roll
[176]
and then i would
[177]
i would stand up and start like a light
[179]
jog to the point where i'm like
[181]
stopping myself from falling yeah and
[183]
then i'll catch up to my laptop or to my
[185]
to my bag and like kind of collapse into
[187]
my bag and lay there for a sec and then
[189]
pick it up and throw it and do the same
[190]
cycle again and that's how i got to the
[192]
tree line
[193]
it was rough
[196]
but
[196]
there's lightning storms on that
[198]
mountain so you can't be up there past a
[200]
certain time yeah and if you are up
[202]
there past a certain time there's the
[204]
potential that some helicopters can come
[205]
rescue unit costs taught ten thousand
[207]
dollars if i remember correctly
[209]
something like that not an option yeah
[211]
especially not for us at that time no
[213]
um yeah so so
[216]
luke got to the bottom and was like
[218]
enraged i was mad
[221]
that clip is kind of awesome
[223]
i don't think you've ever been that mad
[226]
at me
[227]
probably not like even close i don't
[230]
think it kind of helped though because i
[231]
used the anger to carry the dude down
[233]
the mountain yeah
[234]
yeah um so
[237]
the thing is like
[243]
okay
[245]
i was taken a bag
[247]
when he was extremely angry at the
[249]
bottom because
[251]
honestly this is something i haven't
[252]
really talked about that whole thing
[254]
wasn't a great experience for me either
[257]
yeah i thought that the experience i'm
[260]
not going to name any names but i
[261]
thought it was supposed to be more about
[263]
teamwork and about us all achieving
[265]
something together
[266]
and it turned out that not everyone who
[270]
participated in that event
[272]
uh
[273]
was handling it that way it turned out
[276]
that for some people it was
[278]
some kind of
[280]
flex sort of uh thing for them and um it
[285]
was not their intention for everybody to
[288]
succeed
[289]
and make it to the land party at the top
[292]
of the mountain
[293]
and uh what happened was um you know i i
[297]
didn't really know anything about
[300]
mountaineering or whatever that's called
[302]
i mean really it was it was a hike i
[304]
don't think anyone on the team really
[305]
did high altitude hike why don't we call
[306]
it that i didn't really know anything
[308]
about it i didn't realize just how
[310]
difficult it was going to be i thought
[312]
that you know
[313]
we were solving a lot of
[315]
you know the technical challenges and
[318]
someone else was solving a lot of the
[321]
uh like the logistical challenges of
[323]
getting all the people up the mountain
[325]
it wasn't until we were probably a
[326]
quarter or a third of the way up that i
[328]
had a conversation that enlightened me
[331]
to the fact that not everyone intended
[334]
for everybody to make it
[336]
and
[337]
i was like excuse me pardon
[341]
so the entire rest of my day so i was
[344]
also
[345]
sort of quite
[347]
emotionally uh charged i didn't know
[350]
this portion until way later either yeah
[352]
um i was not informed part way up the
[354]
mountain
[355]
yeah so i kept i kept that to myself uh
[358]
because from my point of view it was all
[361]
about doing whatever we could to
[364]
get to the top of the mountain like i
[365]
don't know if you know but i was
[366]
carrying one of the lead acid batteries
[369]
uh whereas
[370]
certain certain people
[372]
had clearly optimized their load to
[375]
increase their chances of making it to
[377]
the top
[378]
um
[380]
so like i i was
[382]
i think i took a you carried it the
[384]
whole way didn't you i did i think i
[385]
took a shift with one of them but i did
[387]
not carry it the whole way um so so i
[390]
was
[392]
what the what that person who didn't
[394]
intend for everyone to make it um didn't
[397]
realize was because we were the ones who
[399]
talked to guinness was that we needed a
[401]
certain threshold of people for them to
[404]
consider it a lan party
[406]
so because not everybody ultimately did
[408]
make it we actually had to recruit other
[411]
hikers to participate in our lan party
[414]
and
[415]
now i remember i had to catch up to one
[417]
of them because i needed his contact
[419]
information and he was leaving so that
[420]
we could get him his certificate yeah
[423]
and so that we could actually submit his
[425]
name yeah
[426]
okay i remember now it was like really
[428]
important so
[430]
so
[431]
i was doing everything i could to make
[433]
it happen i was down way early i was
[436]
sitting there worried but i was like in
[438]
the car i was tired
[439]
but i was like sitting there worried and
[441]
luke comes down he's like
[443]
enraged
[444]
and
[445]
he's like
[447]
you know you like abandoned me on this
[449]
mountain
[450]
potentially to a lightning storm i have
[452]
altitude sickness i'm like dude i had no
[456]
idea
[456]
you were just kind of like
[459]
going a little slower than me when i
[460]
went ahead i didn't mean to like leave
[464]
you on the mountain
[465]
i needed to go catch up to that guy
[468]
because if we don't get all of the
[469]
signed i forget what it was it was a
[471]
film release or it was a contact sheet
[474]
it was a certification that he
[476]
participated that's right okay it's
[479]
coming back it was a legal form it was
[481]
the legal document that he participated
[484]
with his contact information so guinness
[485]
could verify him someone found that
[487]
someone found the timestamp
[489]
okay let's pull it up thanks barrington
[493]
someone you mean barrington barrington
[494]
yeah yeah i actually didn't read the
[496]
name thanks brandon okay here it is
[500]
okay
[502]
so this
[504]
is a highly impressed
[507]
one luke laugh friend here
[513]
[Laughter]
[517]
sheesh
[519]
[Laughter]
[523]
and let me tell you
[527]
when someone's got
[529]
okay
[530]
when someone's got a hundred pounds and
[533]
6 inches on you and they look at you
[536]
with that face
[538]
no matter how much you know that you
[541]
mutually love each other
[546]
it was a quiet car ride
[550]
i remember that
[552]
and you can tell like i'm carrying
[555]
like i sprung back up because i'm
[556]
carrying someone else's backpack yeah
[558]
like i was fine oxygen i was fine by the
[561]
end and adrenaline
[564]
you were clearly getting down that
[565]
mountain yeah yeah but but it was i was
[569]
like
[570]
from reports from people that were there
[571]
before i got to the tree line i was like
[573]
i was losing color in my face and like i
[575]
was this was probably mostly after you
[577]
had left to be fair i don't fully even
[580]
remember the timeline no idea why you
[582]
were mad
[584]
you're just relaxing in the car and i
[585]
was so confused what what what do you
[588]
want me to do i'm supposed to hike back
[589]
up the mountain i did the same
[592]
i did the same hike as you
[595]
like
[595]
yeah
[596]
what do you want from me i don't even
[599]
know if i knew i was just frustrated
[601]
with the situation because there was
[602]
also like
[604]
i don't remember the exact details of
[606]
this but once we were in the trees yeah
[608]
there was lightning
[610]
yeah it was like legitimately hitting
[612]
like around us so i missed all of that i
[614]
didn't know the storm actually came yeah
[617]
oh and not to name names but the dude
[619]
that i'm carrying down the mountain
[621]
for a very significant or like their
[623]
equipment you mean and him oh i didn't
[626]
know i have his oh yeah
[627]
i have my my bag on my backpack his bag
[630]
on my chest and i'm shoulder carrying
[631]
him so i'm not like you know yeah but
[633]
i'm shoulder carrying him we get we get
[636]
really close to the end and then
[637]
lightning strikes really close by and
[639]
suddenly everything is okay again and
[642]
he's running without his back in front
[645]
of me i'm just like what now you're just
[647]
like magically okay i scared you down
[650]
like legitimately at the very least a
[653]
quarter i don't remember exactly the the
[655]
lengths and stuff but it was like a very
[657]
large portion of this hike
[661]
yeah i was not impressed by uh the
[665]
magical healing of of nearby lightning
[668]
yep
[669]
so
[670]
we
[671]
um and we were we were like the people
[673]
that were still up there um which i
[675]
don't know everyone outside of paul
[677]
myself and brandon i know it was
[679]
us and then there was other people i
[681]
don't know brandon struggled
[683]
he had a really heavy bag he should not
[685]
have brought all the stuff that he did
[686]
he really shouldn't have i told him not
[688]
to you did he thought we were going for
[690]
a walk and i was like
[692]
no
[694]
um but those those everyone that was
[696]
there was like rationing out their water
[698]
and stuff because we were like running
[699]
out of supplies like it was it was a
[700]
rough it was a rough situation
[703]
um
[704]
yeah so i won't say who the problem was
[706]
but i'll say that we've subsequently
[709]
collabed with everyone who wasn't a
[710]
problem
[713]
you do the math
[717]
um but yeah like i don't know
[719]
i don't know
[722]
i don't know i don't have any particular
[723]
examples that i can think of i forget
[725]
what the original question was oh being
[727]
mad at me no what is the worst
[729]
professional experience i'd say that was
[730]
a bad experience yeah
[733]
but i don't think that was like
[735]
okay experience i had but it says with
[738]
linus does that mean
[739]
with you in particular i mean i was sure
[741]
as heck involved yeah but like i said
[745]
if you didn't go get the thing signed i
[747]
would have been more upset
[748]
i think i think
[750]
you guys got to understand this guy is
[752]
like
[754]
is like
[755]
you get shot
[757]
in the head but you get the flag to the
[759]
capture point
[760]
like this it's just the kind of
[761]
character that this guy is yeah so you
[765]
know if i'm yeah if i'm gonna make a
[767]
call between save luke or
[770]
save the the the ship you know you save
[773]
the ship you save the ship you let luke
[774]
fall overboard it's that simple
[776]
and uh and i'll often figure it out
[780]
so like it's probably right
[783]
i don't know but but yeah so like i it
[785]
was frustrating in the moment but i also
[787]
didn't have a lot of various pieces of
[788]
information at that time we've
[790]
definitely had some tense conversations
[792]
over the years i mean you worked
[793]
together with someone for long enough
[794]
it's just gonna happen yeah it happens
[796]
um
[799]
i like to think that all of it was for
[800]
the best
[802]
i i don't know i i'm not supposed to i'm
[805]
not supposed to answer your question
[806]
obviously i'm i'm interested though
[809]
well i mean there was the time we both
[811]
cried yep
[812]
so i'm sure i don't even fully remember
[814]
i know parts of that but i don't fully
[816]
remember everything that was discussed
[817]
there but i know parts of it you know
[819]
it's one of those things that i am
[820]
certainly not at liberty to discuss
[822]
since i it was hr related so
[826]
you know there's a there's a certain
[828]
like there's just a a level of
[829]
professionalism that i i like to
[832]
maintain yeah you know i'm not gonna
[834]
yeah like there's certain stuff i'm just
[835]
i'm not gonna talk about yeah we're not
[836]
gonna we're just not gonna talk about
[838]
that because it's not professional we
[839]
talk about hr stuff like we've we've
[842]
struggled right like when you're when
[843]
you're building something for over 10
[845]
years
[846]
um you're gonna especially in a very
[848]
scrappy way you're gonna butt heads yeah
[850]
um you know i'm sure there were times
[852]
when i set really unrealistic
[853]
expectations like in the early days of
[855]
float plane that were extremely
[856]
frustrating there's
[858]
not just the early days of flow plane
[861]
but i think
[863]
i am not uh the most uh
[867]
how do i say this
[871]
i'm not the absolute most respecting of
[873]
authority
[874]
[Laughter]
[876]
so the fact that i'm still here i think
[879]
and i'm not trying to toot your horn but
[881]
i think we've done pretty good i think
[882]
we've done pretty well we've done pretty
[884]
i think we've made it work yeah
[886]
every relationship is work yeah okay
[888]
employee employer
[890]
boyfriend girlfriend if it's not you
[892]
should maybe look into potential lies or
[895]
something yeah maybe do you actually
[896]
even have that of closer relationship
[897]
yeah
[898]
i'm not like i'm not judging or anything
[900]
i'm just it might be time for some
[902]
reflection
