I'm glad you survived and your friend is doing ok, but cover up your arms!!! they are giving me all kinds of fever

[@TheThunderDragoon]

I know what you mean! The thirst is real lol.

[@Nexus2Eden]

I hope you do more videos and soon. Such a beautiful person Jesse, inside and out - stay golden man.

[@curtisp1987]

Glad you survived, and glad your friend survived the accident without a scratch. OMG Davey Wavey....lucky you!

[@Rav3r916]

It's good to hear that your buddy survived such a traumatic accident. We all, in some points in our lives, experience something that would cost us our lives. It's a learning experience. Stay safe and we look forward to your next video, Jesse!

[@abmax11]

Truth- I came in here because of the thumbnail. I'm glad you made it alive though! Love your videos :) Xo

[@PriestmanCub]

I'm so glad you survived, YOU seem a really sweet guy and I hope your friend is Okay now after his accident.

[@JustinSmith-qq5gd]

My god what a crazy story. So glad you survived that. Great to hear your friend is ok as well.

[@chunkymonkey356]

Omg! You got a ton of subscribers fast! I remember when you had a few thousand (about three)! I'm happy your channel is growing!

[@IceCaller01]

Thank you for sharing those stories. I'm glad you and your friend are ok. Love your channel. :)

[@a4dude]

I'm glad you made it out of that alive. Love your vids, keep'em coming! :)

[@kgsved]

Thanks for the video Jesse. I like it because you are open and honest and not full of gimmicks like so many YT'rs. I would enjoy more stories about your life, you and your friends, and/or you and your family. I don't know how you felt flying over the water on that parasail in Mexico, but I guess at least the water looked calm there. Objects in currents of water can be deadly. I am so glad you survived and are willing to share your a small part of your life with us. Thank you!

[@howell1962]

Love your vids, open and honest.

[@gayteen5225]

I'm very happy both of you are alright!! Please put up more videos!!

[@mtheaterpimp1]

I am so thankful that you were ok then and that your friend is ok now. I look forward to more videos from you! :)

[@thebatman2992]

Thank good your with us man and just be safe. And tell your friend that I hope he gets better.good luck to the two of you and hope to see you soon

[@HawnGambit92]

My friend and I had a very similar experience. My friend was taken in by the ocean's notorious undertow. Thanks to my prior lifeguard training, I was able to bring back to shallow waters. That summer I taught him everything I knew from treading water for 15+ mins., floating and swimming against the ocean current. Glad to say that at the end of that summer, the apprentice had surpassed the master. He's now an adept swimmer, surfer and certified scuba diver. Glad that you made it out alive and lived to share your experience.

[@chemachat]

my own near death experience was when I saw your huge biceps at 2:13! Wow ;)

[@loghen01]

smooth

[@kennelson6399]

Oh dude....love your Samcro tank and SOA wall poster. SOA ROCKS!

[@haydenmarqui101]

Your sooo cool and I'm glad you survived we need more guys like you tbh....keep the bids coming please Jesse thanks

[@TobinMUA]

Well I'm glad you and your friend are ok! I like these personal talking videos, I really feel like I'm starting to get to know you :)

[@ristin59]

Thank God, y'all got through it. It doesn't take much to put on the edge of life & death, accidents or foolish acts. Been there twice, I do believe in life after death.

[@1988fierogt]

great story bro and thanks for sharing I am glad your still around with us to share your thoughts and ideas,,,hugs

[@keven71000]

Yes more videos. And I'm glad you're alive.

[@ikkakuxrocklee]

Your like a giant teddy beast and i mean that in the nicest way possible i love watching and listening to you're videos they make me feel so thanks

[@whitemagick4]

I'm glad that things for you and your friend turned out well :)

[@PrisonBreakBoy]

Keep the KZbin videos coming Jesse. I'd love to see you do another video with your sister, just because she's awesome.

[@JakesSake]

Damn! That's scary, would be the worst thing caught under water! Yeah dude your channel is good and no doubt will get more and more successful for sure! I'm like you I'm like you I need to upload more :/

[@garyhumphries6460]

Glad your ok . Stay safe.

[@LifeofaKing]

Glad your buddy's ok! That shit cray. I suck at swimming too so my idea of swimming consists of chilling in the shallow end and challenging kids to cannonballs, handstands, and splashing fights. I find it safer....most of the time :)

[@mxixsx]

I really like this type of videos and i'm really glad you and your friend are fine! And by the way, you are awesome because you like Sons Of Anarchy, it's my favorite show ever and you're awesome because you like it too!! :)

[@RaylenX]

I think I would have freaked out a lot more if I had been in that situation.. Good thing you and your friend came through the experience in one piece ~

[@antoniomartins6490]

Great Story! Be Safe my boy!

[@Nomade857]

Thank you for The Video mate. I'm sorry to hear about your friend also I'm sorry to hear what happened to you. That must have been so scary !!!! Thank god your alright !! When we're young we all do silly things in life and when you look back you think wow you know so I get this so much as I've been there myself. If you ever want to chat please feel free to message me.

[@jbpharm]

Great video, totally understand, thanks for sharing , keep up the good work,, Peace

[@alexlewis510]

Think everyone has an almost died story.......glad you shared, my almost died story was car + 17 year stupid + speeding =broken neck life in a chair.... Always be thankful because it could've been worse

[@momo21806]

Hi Jesse,whats the song you usually play on the background of your vids,like this one

[@ethandifrancopujol622]

I'm glad your friend is ok... also i want to know if that "almost died" situation made you change in any way....oh, and I'm happy you are still around!. Cheers

[@jamesclark2086]

Glad your friend is ok

[@dafttool]

I've had numerous close calls. One car accident in particular. A bad fall off an extension ladder. 2 different close calls with a chainsaw to my forehead, also involving falls from ladders. (I try to avoid chainsaws these days; haven't learned my ladder lesson yet) A giant tree limb, falling on its own, barely missed me (that one was very weird, because I got a weird feeling as I was walking across a yard, I stopped, backed up two feet, & it came crashing down). And I've had a lot of close calls with various animals, even once accidently stepping on the back of a large gator, and once being picked up by the leg by a camel. But I've been present at even more close calls of others. I saved an 80 yr old woman and horse vet with a horse flipped over them. I pulled my father from a collapsed building. I've led a very active life.:)

[@upchurchcountrygirl4660]

Thank goodness you and your brother are ok

[@MrSouthernCharm86]

Damn that's fucking crazy about your friend and your story too man! Everything happens for a reason though and you and your buddy are alive for a reason

[@robbiestorbakken1976]

Glad your friend is ok... More videos!! :))....

[@gayguy666999]

That was terrifying! I am afraid of water also, I had many times experiences with near death, like I chocked a couple of times, more recently early this year! I had food stuck (literally) in my throat, I could feel it bouncing up and down, blocking my throat! I couldn't speak my head hurts, I tried to drink anything near me but it won't budge!! I thought I was going to collapse soon, it felt exactly like someone is strangling you... finally after my face turned blue my throat crushed this food blocking.. my throat like hurts for a week after!!

[@stefanbrown8443]

how lucky are you to have a trained lifeguard as a friend and that was the specific friend to be with you at that time. what im trying to say is that ur a lucky man

[@rafieziea3899]

What a dayyy!!! Thankfully u still alive ...

[@jrsinger78]

So glad you're still here bud!

[@reynolds1949]

A diamond as always. x

[@Ithildin75]

Jesse we haven't seen new videos about you lately! Hope you are Ok! I would like to see another video with your sister, She is so nice! Take care buddy! Good Luck!

[@JonVA3]

You are quite a busy person, despite that I like watching your videos.!

[@tr3brew]

Wow this is one of my biggest fears! My little brother drowned in a pool when we were kids. Thankfully they were able to save him... But a very horrifying feeling. Thankfully you were wearing a life jacket!

[@andrewcow108]

That sounds terrifying. Something similar (not really anywhere near as scary) happened to me when I got washed away from the shore at the beach.

[@ernestmac13]

Most people don't understand chance & probability & how it relates to our daily lives. In the same way you can experience things like you & your friend did & have nothing bad happen because, random chance happened to be in your favor that day, some people do something as simple as misstep when they get to a corner & end up falling into the street & get hit by a car, or they trip on uneven sidewalk & get hurt real bad by the fall. Even though the vast majority of people who fall from a chair don't get hurt, a small percentage fall just right & brake a wrist, and arm, or even their neck. A vary, vary, small percentage of people can fall from a chair just right & die, especially children. Its the same way most children who fall from a second or third story building suffer great injuries or even die, some do survive. This is also true of greater heights, as some people have survived falling from 6 & 7 stories up. Most of the general public don't understand the science behind such events, & its hard for people to deal with the tragic events that happen in the world such as the typhoon that hit the Philippines, so they have to come up with some sort of supernatural agent/force behind such events. Glad you were smart enough to ware the life jacket, lots of guys would have not worn one because, we tend to feel invincible when we we young. By waring the life jacket, you improved your odds of surviving the type of event you experienced.

[@AdrianXpression]

Jesse! I'm almost sure that's not the only crazy thing you have done. lol You should make a video informing us about your top craziest adventures.

[@MrPjoshua]

I hope that your friend drives a little slower now glad to hear he's ok

[@iwantsifegold]

His alive because his a good guy and the world needs people like you and him

[@matthewjay660]

Jesse, I also came close to death while tubing. I was sucked under water under a low bridge, except the bottom of the bridge touched the water. I was pinned under the bridge and I remember thinking, "I'm going to die." And then it spit me out.

[@petardjordjevic3558]

I didn't listen to you, I was watching you. #sorrynotsorry

[@IAMbrandonwalker]

***** He would have 20x the subscribers if he did this shirtless. Hopefully he takes notes from his new follower.

[@k2dfire]

***** i prefer him like this and talk about himself and his issues and what he goes through rather than other guys having a hard on for him with his shirt off all the time, it's kind of creepy when you think about it, but hey that's just my opinion

[@vincejerome7604]

Glad you're okay! :)

[@myshaspot1]

Glad your friend is OK. And glad you survived, but you need to learn to swim.

[@Tubaman638]

The absolute nonchalantness of your reaction to Davey Wavey following you on twitter was hilarious.

[@jhouze7]

Hey Jesse maybe try to do more vids like this. And post for often.

[@willr69420]

Looove the SAMCRO shirt!!

[@GayGallois]

Keep making the videos Jesse.

[@rayndanduran]

you look so good!

[@MrJancowicz]

More videos please!!!

[@k2dfire]

i hate the water too and can also relate to that. i almost died when i drowned, it was in a big pool and i didn't know how to swim, next minute i know, i went deep into the water and blacked out. when i regained consiousness, i had my sis godmom giving me cpr...it was weird but came very,very close to death, after that i avoided the pool like a plague, but i guess for me, it's just one of the death experiences i had

[@maverrickman]

your amazing could you make a vid talking about what guys your attracted too celebs like who's your ideal guy and why. for me it's a guy who looks and a

[@beagle4u]

Jesse - I'm glad Gage is OK! How fucking scary for him. Also, how scary for u w the River! I've been trained in Aquatics Safety since 15yr. Drowning is no laughing matter & even experts can drown. Glad u had ur buddy w u. Are u afraid of water now? Just "found" u tonight. Been watching all the vids :)

[@Adrian3gotrip]

didnt you kinda save yourself though you were on the log by the time your friend got there?

[@daniellegyawu2755]

Glad there okay

[@patricksheehy9217]

That's an insane experience, and I can empathize with it because something similar happened to me before. Water, current, all that stuff. Never going into a natural whirlpool ever again.

[@agarcia0730]

That situation sounds scary!

[@iambryyyan]

I like how he says "about". It's cute and interesting to hear.

[@SharkOfSweden]

Jesse you are a very handsome guy! Thanks for sharing your life! Huggs from Sweden

[@yunoh9997]

keep it up man :)

[@abmax11]

Omg! I'm really glad you made it alive

[@pitt15220]

Man I would have freaked out! Thats gotta be one of the worst ways to go is to drown. I know where your coming from, I wont go in water thats over my head anymore after a bad experience tubing out on the lake back when I wasin high school. Sounds like you were lucky, and your friend too.

[@utube4me10]

You're doing great! I had the same thing, almost, happen to me. I was about 13, I got caught under a rock in the rapids, luckly my best friend was on the rock above and pulled me up! I thought I was dead, my life did flash before my eyes!! REALLY, It does happen! Sadly he died of Aids. I will forever be grateful to him. :( Be safe guys!

[@jabino9]

you're killing me with your guns.

[@bethfoster6591]

I am glad your friend, and you, are alright. Think about possibly going to a Jr. High or High School to share your story...it may save someone else's life! Just call up the school counselor and talk with them.

[@brendomarques8956]

I love the intros ahah

[@FoxandSheep]

long time waiting..

[@toriland79]

Thinking about it, there have been about 4 times where things could have gone completely wrong. -Once when I was about 8 or 9 I went to my mother's company picnic and for some reason I decided to go on the diving board at the deep end and I could feel myself sinking and taking in water and I can't tell you what happened to not make it so. -Then there was a time when I was around 12 and I was in the passenger side of the car with my dad not wearing my seat belt when we got rammed from behind and my head hit the windshield and lucky for me I had I hard head cause all that happened was the windshield cracked. -Then there was the time in college where we were in a rental car heading home on the Jersey Turnpike from an anime convention when the front right tire seized up is the best way to explain it, and the driver hit the brakes and try to take control but that just caused the car to start spinning on the turnpike. Lucky for us we landed on the grass about a couple of feet away from the metal divider. So, we had to spend the night in Jersey cause we wouldn't be able to get another car until the morning. I was thankful the night before having survived just to get a wake up call on how worse it could have been cause back on the turnpike, we ended up passing a car accident where the two cars involved did not look promising. I was a big ball of tears the whole way home. -Then about two years ago I was driving and I hit a 4 way stop. I was heading south and there was a silver jeep heading west. We stopped like we were suppose to and since I got there first I had the right of way. So, I started going forward, but something told me to stop. And 2 seconds after I stopped this black SUV just went speeding past the grey jeep. I went to the next block pulled to the corner and freaked out for a good minute. This is why you should suppress these things.

[@JeamesGranger]

Your to pretty to die young. How cool that you were filming when Davey Wavey started following you on twitter. I'm so glade you are making KZbin videos. Looking forward to seeing more videos.

[@mardus_ee]

I heard that Davey Wavey was 'unfollowing him on twitter.' (But then it's like, how can this be cool...)

[@b4804514]

Jesse: I can understand why you have not gone out on any dates? Or maybe you have. Life is short sometimes as your vid implies & you are such a great guy or at least what we see. Did you like LA? It would seem a better place to find a mate?? Thanks for sharing

[@loladarling2130]

were you about to day you bought the tubes at canadian tire

[@Luis-ck9eo]

Crazy story

[@vinnyt1216]

I had to watch this four time to really pay attention to what he was saying instead of staring at his arms.... Damn..

[@xxShane247xx]

Scary story..stay safe..and more videos yes..but quality not quantity.

[@owen9943]

damn. you're getting famous fast

[@NoelHerreraGarcia]

Is he Canadian?

[@wilsonsantiago8122]

Come back Jesse!!!!

[@ahmedcirno]

oh my goodness.

[@kappa4321]

There are actually a lot of people here in Nova Scotia who can't swim. A number are fishermen. Knowing how to swim is definitely a practical thing .

[@lexZender57732]

Jesse Duke and RussMarine. That'd be a memorable video duet.

[@trionboy]

I can't swim either. I had a similiar experience.

[@ban.banish]

Cool tank! :)

[@vonmorris5948]

Fortunately, you guys are ok. Sidebar- I can kinda hear your Canadian accent now.

[@ppganselmo]

omg pls. don't die. you're too cute. I'll be devastated.

[@myshaspot1]

Been watching your videos. You do realize you are terminally normal, right? You may very well be my new hero!
