#11 WHAT ITS LIKE FILMING THE WORLDS HEAVIEST WAVES AND THE SURFERS THAT RIDE THEM, JACK GERMAIN

[@skindeepproject]

Would love to see you guys interview a lifeguard from pipeline.

[@Clafff]

Tamega?

[@wcc1212]

I would like to see Dave Wassel on there ---he is a personality.

[@AtortAerials]

All Hawaii lifeguards a rockstar.

[@marinatinseattle]

Yes!

[@Whitehorseandryder]

If I may make a suggestion.. when you're showing external footage during the interviews, you should enlarge the footage to be the main screen, and have the podcast footage down in the corner as the PIP, instead of just having the external footage pop up as PIP.. just an idea 🤙🏼

[@MD69BarrelKilla]

Please

[@bassicallysquirled]

Actually, I prefer to see their reactions while talking about the experience!

[@omatoIol]

shut up

[@Whitehorseandryder]

@@bassicallysquirled fair enough! You could still see their face in the PIP though.. or maybe at least a same-size side by side could be a good middle-ground.. 🤙🏼

[@janepower6842]

​@@bassicallysquirled a1aà

[@wcc1212]

Koa nails it, and that is what makes both your vlogs stand out. You both take us along for the ride. Food, sore shoulders, surf watch statistics, bad trades, diet struggles, all of it---just like we were hanging out with you guys. There is no one doing what you guys are doing, how you are doing it. You guys are f-ing awesome. I do laugh I may run into you guys on the NS sometime, and start chatting you up, like I am a life long friend, and you guys are like....dude, who are you? 😂

[@punanitsunami2786]

You are right. I met koa and makua on a few occasions and that was my exact reaction. I feel like i know them somewhat, after all these years and they show us a lot about their life and themselves. But from their perspective i am a random unknown fan lol but I feel like we friends lol I respect and admire them. They good people

[@justintindel9271]

My wife and I were just talking about how every single episode is evolving in such a natural way! We seriously appreciate, and enjoy so much watching your evolution, and expression not only in the water but more specifically outside of the water! Really appreciate you guys and hope you have a wonderful rest of the day.

[@NateAndKoaPodcast]

thanks for supporting and for the kind words! we are stoked because this is us being able to bring all you some what into what a sit down hang out session would be like lol! just the team hanging out discussing fun topics

[@SasoCasablanca63]

This podcast is so fresh and different, The coolest cats around surfing. Talented surfers, down to earth, really informative but so hilarious. Love this podcast

[@kevingyurecz]

I can’t agree more

[@roguebossa]

Yeah

[@tommathews3964]

Jack UNDERSTANDS audio!! You guys take note of how close to the mic he is. His audio is so good here! I know it's hard, but it really helps to be taking a bite out of those mics! Really enjoyed this and the behind the scenes stuff! Keep up the excellent work, all of you!

[@D.Wilson.M]

Aloha from The PNW. When asked about podcasting, I've heard Rogan say headphones are a mandatory piece of kit for podcasting (i.e subtle interruptions, volume, etc.). "Keep that mic about a fist from your mouth."I can't encourage this more. Congrats Boyz!

[@seblivefloormanager]

The man behind the myth, legend and lens! Thanks for sharing the trials and tribulations Jack. Proof that if you stick to something you're good at and learn the lessons, the universe will yake you to places you couldnt previously imagine.. Great to see the humility and gratitude to his family and circumstances. 💪✨️🙌🤙

[@petermcguinness8222]

'This is Filmin'" - a channel in which Koa films Jack. I'd subscribe.

[@Lotus-Son]

Also props to Koa on most of these podcasts; I picked up that between Nate, Koa, and a guest it was more Koa who tried his best to get everyone back to answering actual questions and moving the discussion along when he felt like it was needed. And most times he let the discussion flow organically when it felt like it should. He’s got a good feel for this already for you guys both being new to this format! And Nate just is just a giant ball of charisma and personality - John John even said he’s not as comfortable or big a presence on-camera as Nate is. Nate, you’re genuinely super funny!

[@youtubeJune2004]

when Jack did the airhorn it was great, kid has so much charisma. fun to see him in front of the camera. you two should give him a raise

[@keithallison3756]

Absolutely sick episode boys. Hearing the backstory & behind the scenes of yourselves & filmers throws in the realism of what you all do. This pod cast has to blow up! Keep sending it boys

[@matthewcobas3165]

Koa is spot on. Understanding the experience and being able to relate to other people makes your vlogs stand out. "You got barreled. Cool, you're a pro surfer." hahaha nailed it. Jack needs to be a regular.

[@georgelamb8074]

Love yo’ stories keep it coming, I am 70 an got stories that will never be shared at this level yet more stories are emerging just not as often. Life is shared through stories, your stories always good for the life!

[@Lotus-Son]

My favorite surf podcasts so far! More than STAB’s, the WSL’s, Surf Splendor, SPIT (probably my second favorite), and the Grit. It’s from the real deal pro surfers who offer insight that us average joes have no clue about in the most funny delivery between two real friends. I love this podcast. When’s the next one???

[@marckindl1071]

This podcast is fire. Jack a real legend for all his work behind the scenes. Keep pumping those episodes!

[@mikebranch7928]

Great insight about people wanting content they can relate to. I loved watching surf vids in early 2000s but now even though I’m driving back and forth over the island to get the right session I can’t be asked to watch surfing really. But I can listen to you guys talk all day.

[@michaelgreenberger3785]

The first vine that jack made was epic. Launched me into my lifelong love for surfing in NJ

[@michaelgreenberger3785]

Ps - would love a podcast about how you think the “middle ground” of the surf industry can be built for all of us who aren’t superstars

[@ianh69531]

Hell yeah .Jack kills it on the filming and editing

[@TomByrnes]

Regarding the topic around the 51 mark- Cheesy to say but it’s just as much about the journey as the destination. The destination is watching you lads getting spat out of some insane throaty barrels (which is sick) but watching the journey - the travelling, the early mornings, the food, the boat rides, talking through the nerves and adrenaline etc makes it all the much sweeter. 🤙 Keep up the ripper work

[@rezarcher]

Jack Germain, undercover rockstar.

[@wawywawo]

This one is so rad to hear Jack share his perspective

[@jul1us_tv]

hearing you guys talk about the change in surf industry and how vlog content is way more relatable... insane!

[@tonysmario817]

you’re not alone in ‘decompressing’ over a good drunk...it’s been going on for all recorded history! love the idea of you guys drinking and talking...give it one hour...he who drinks the most and can still talk wins! hahaha great guest...very interesting to hear jack’s story, and how your lives have always intersected and influenced each other’s... excellent flow guys! by the way, drink a liter or two of water before passing out to greatly reduce hangover effects.

[@JasonCalo-wp7ot]

9:07p PST FAAAK!! You guys have the best podcast ever! Let me just say, contrary to Pyzel’s wiping his ass with both of your faces(Dumb and Dumber/Beavis & Butthead), you two are thoughtful and interesting. Kudos on this episode and much respect to Jack! I can not tell you how critical it was to give a name and face to your filmer. Funny thing is how Hawaii gets a bad rap on education. I’m from California and we are cliquish and think we rule. But I’m gonna put it like this, “Your generation of youthful late twentysomethings in Hawaii blow away the zombie class of Californians your age. You two are giving surfers a reputation as smart hi-tech, financially literate, multi dimensional successful young men and women! I’m 53 years old and you two inspire me on so many levels it’s literally a breath of fresh air. Please have a woman on soon. You can introduce your significant others, but I think you should go with a pro surfer. Isn’t Coco your age? Or maybe a local underground ripper. Expand your following by double! Or Nate should ask his mom to come on. Who is more intriguing than John John, Nate, and Ivan’s mom? AnywY, keep it up, fellas. You are the best thing on tv. You two are going to blow up. Keep thinking of ideas. Take a trip to Kauai and get the underground hardcore to come on your show. I want to get to know Titus and Barca! And Koa, your dad is a legend but a mystery. I want to know what is up with that guy!!!!( and your brother.) Have on Eli!!!

[@NateAndKoaPodcast]

thanks for supporting and enjoying the show man! also thanks for the kind words, when you travel from a young age you learn much and gain your education on the road! you see poverty and wealth on the far ends of the spectrum, different people and different cultures and learn to respect and embrace them, you see people live happily different then you do and some unhappily, i feel it was the best education for us kids!

[@alvatrous]

Really love this show. Hope it sticks around for awhile

[@NathanFlorence]

thanks boss

[@julie.an.nalley9582]

Oh my this is epic after 5yrs of watching 😊

[@rebeccatyler6182]

camaraderie and the laughing! love it

[@teauesera9236]

Jack is a good fit for the podcast and I believe he will help you guys grow. Funny $hit braddahs. All gassed and no brakes.

[@michelemeixner7604]

Another awesome podcast! And Yes Jack, make a movie🤙

[@Cabrinhakite]

Koa is a wave 🌊 Hoover Nathan 😂taking all your waves not fair what a friend 🤣

[@AllThings271]

Nate and Koa - for future topics, one that would be very interesting would be sun protection. Which brands you use and how that vest with the hood works that you wear sometimes Nate.

[@NateAndKoaPodcast]

great idea

[@johnleger6736]

So true fellas!! No such thing is a quiet drink. Here in Australia, we love getting pissed and hating life next day hungover AF🎉🎉🎉😂😂 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@edchedda1439]

Damn boys jack is a great addition to the pod he is always there. We need regular updates with jack at least. Enjoying the hang

[@ianestrela195]

Hey, been following your adventures for a while now, and I'm loving the vibes and that fearless attitude you both bring into the water. Totally get the whole localism scene and the unspoken rules-it's real. I pull the same moves back home. Locals first, always. But as a surfer who roams globally, I've noticed something. The soul of surfing seems to be slipping away with all this attitude. So, instead of throwing shade at every hoale that paddles by, I decided to switch it up. Spread some stoke, be cool with the tourists catching waves. Man, let me tell you, it's a game-changer. The vibe in the water is a whole new level, happy faces everywhere. We all started surfing for one reason - the sheer joy of it. Why turn it into something stressful and frustrating? Let's keep it cool and ride those waves together! 🏄‍♂✌ #SurfingVibes #SpreadTheStoke

[@leesiyo]

I love what you guys are saying around the 48 minute mark about JOB. I don't surf, I've skateboarded for 38 yrs now, but it was JOB that got me into surfing content and now I watch more things on surfing than almost everything else. One day I will make a pilgrimage to the Northshore, not to surf, but to see all the things I have seen in the videos. You have a really beautiful homeland

[@brittnis7294]

Hacking vine to go over 6 seconds is legendary!!!

[@marsmif]

“This is the worst thing Ive ever seen” made me spit out my coffee😂😂😂😂😂

[@johnscatcherd9928]

Nice to see Jack on the show good job guys. Box of band aids lol and RC and roll of duck tape :O) Dyslexics. love the water Koa at least this one does.

[@wasabiginger6993]

😂 loved the best friends in lineup TRUTHS finally out there like it or not 🤣

[@shannipat]

I like the idea of you guys doing something like taking an EMT/First Responder course. It's just one more thing to learn, it's a great thing to have. Since you are right in the midst of being the 'first responder' by virtue of lifestyle having some skills in it would be awesome! When you started talking about that I could see it! You would probably really like the training. Check into it!

[@Beloved-of-the-Divine]

Great idea!

[@norneva775]

My addiction had me in the dumps the last two weeks cause no podcast last week lol glad I get my fix now 😊 beat of health boys

[@waxcomb]

This episode is crying out for Nate and Koa podcast coasters for those glasses

[@morris7025]

You guys are KILLING it! ... Would love to see you have Jamie on and see what you two could get out of him - The Pipe Triangle Podcast!!! :)

[@sharonknorr1106]

So my dad bought his first stock in the early 1960's. He was a blue-collar construction electrician and realized that investing was the way for him to make more money and perhaps retire early or at least in a better place one day. I still remember him looking up his stock every day in the evening paper and telling us if it was up or down, he was very proud of his purchase. He continued expanding his portfolio and used Schwab to do his trades, eventually tracking all of it on his computer (when he was in his 80's). He did well, but did lose almost half his value during the 2008 stock market debacle - one of his "safe" stocks in which he was heavily invested was Lehman Brothers, the one bank the government let go under. That was a bad day, I think it was about half a million gone.

[@NateAndKoaPodcast]

Thanks for sharing that story! What an awesome adventure investing he had! Yeah 2008-2009 hurt a lot of people scary to think lehman brothers was thought to be safe !

[@solomon6082]

Wallstreet used that half milli… “yea yea lehman is safe” Dump it!

[@solomon6082]

Schwab, like klaus Schwab? Your father was honest … in a game called monopoly and the guy being the bank. Is a cheater.

[@solomon6082]

[@andrewmarshall360]

Hopefully his hair helps with buoyancy while he’s getting great shots . All kidding aside they put themselves in fairly precarious situations. Love hearing their pov .

[@bongofly]

They just keep getting better. Great to meet Jack, what a gentleman. This is the best pod cast you guys have done. Felt really cosy. Could you invite the Hagi the weather guy on ?

[@denaaustinmiller1331]

How great to watch this vid on JG (like I know him right) Jake Germain. Very great. Thank you!

[@Justus_Glenn37]

Both filmers and a thirty rack on the pod 👍🤙🤙

[@NathanFlorence]

haha done

[@heathersylvestre]

Jack I saw you at Banzai a couple month or so ago!! You looked like you over partied that weekend….. I wanted to give you a hug and say “Slow down buddy” BUT my teenage kid said “MOM no leave the guy alone!” Ahhahahahaha SOOO you can thank but my kid for that BUT next time…. If I am alone…. YOU are getting a random stranger hug in Haleiwa! Hahahaha You’re welcome! 🤪😍🥰🤭

[@NateAndKoaPodcast]

haha jack is always open to a hug from a stranger hugs are healing from big weekend anxiety hah!

[@fosterdavid8490]

Sticky hands had me crying😂😂😂😂

[@mattyOpp]

Need your boy Eli Olson next boys. Yeew 🤙🏾

[@maryjohnson7713]

From 1 Alcoholic to you 3 Alcoholic's we always make an excuse to crack a cold beer... haha! If you can continue to charge God Bless. I am now 63 years old and used to spend 2 months a winter back in the day surfing pipe... David Cantrell, Ronnie Burns Etc. Live on from Santa Barbara and Costa Rica... :):)

[@latentsea]

Ronnie did things that are just not possible anymore due to crowds in the line up. Deep backdoor takeoff drop left into pipe so relaxed thick boards deep fins holding the line like a matador. RIP hard charger.

[@DanOMallsVideo]

Super stoked to hear Jack's story! Always wondered how it all came to. All gas no brakes. I'll definitely be grabbing some beers to drink with you guys for the next one! Thank you for this podcast. Chargers who are down-to-earth and relatable...off the waves.

[@MrCaselade]

😂 you are so funny. This is a great way to get to know you guys more personal. Cant wait for that drinking podcast episode. Watching this is like hanging out with friends having a blast after a good surf. Cheers 🎉

[@Cabrinhakite]

Great to see Jack in the mix so great you 3 together so chilled 😎 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🤙

[@blastmastermelo]

As Jack mentioned; would definitely enjoy an Anthony Bourdain travel style video; in a perspective of a life long Surfer?

[@kevingyurecz]

This is just an awesome podcast

[@garyrobinson4847]

Nathan koa Jack thank you 😃🤙

[@AlexBellini3]

At 43:25… the word is “jealousy” and/or “greed” Koa… 🤣 loved this podcast lol

[@loki475]

we surf a gnarly spot and ive said before we need a proper first aid kit there somewhere. its on the to do list. interesting episode👍

[@morrobayfishing5515]

Had a lot of laughs. Learned a lot also. Don't go down the Laird Hamilton road of "The Love". He took a popularity dive after that. But fun show Keep it up!

[@EvrybodySurf]

Exactly, the relation feels magik. U know? It feels amazing!

[@FromTheMosh]

Not interested in the trading stuff but another great podcast. Appreciate it guys 🤙

[@Justin-pr6go]

Come in from Kick your slippers off and relax and talk it's really laid back I love it!

[@mikebranch7928]

Jack is great on screen.

[@TrueSurfOfficial]

Love all of your channels and content! 🤙🏽

[@rickybecklund2488]

And another one .. love the bread stick pillow and podcast guys.wanted to hear more about 30 rack Jack.. looking forward this one😅

[@Charles-tx8pw]

"the guest has the clap" got no love lol

[@martovalvarez6167]

Y’all are funny as hell

[@seblivefloormanager]

Oh! And, as a British person watching with great teeth and fresh breath, that was the funniest moment watching the three of you enjoying mining the age old stereotype. Wish it didn't have truth at its foundation 😂😂😂

[@martovalvarez6167]

Hahaha you guys philosophy on drinking is the same as mine ! All gas no breaks lol😂

[@westpacificmarketanalytics2384]

Look how Sickos is growing as a group of friends.......it can be done.

[@christianlundstrom9918]

So awesome to see jack. Next has to be zord

[@TrewlPatrol]

“Like a British person….I’m just kidding” No you’re not Koa….no you’re not…😂

[@martinevans5587]

Nice to hear you all having a chat 😊

[@scottvanderlinden118]

Go Jack top work Can’t wait for the piss up🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🇦🇺

[@Justin-pr6go]

Please Please keep it real and raw how you do your podcast! Jamie has a podcast studio. Ben Gravy turned one of his rooms into a studio. Most People can't do that, I love it that's what I would do sit at my table Or talk On my couch. Just my opinion.

[@NateAndKoaPodcast]

yep!!

[@wcc1212]

yup--f having a studio set up.

[@solomon6082]

45:26 “sounds like you’re out of position “. - Koa 😂 Koas koa man you know hes your friend he was like screw he will forgive me ! And now its a cool Story If you have to start off that wave with that energy it wont feel right and it wont work Better give the wave away.. giving is better than receiving always

[@bbwvelvet]

YAY JACK! That was fun! I was wondering if in the same way that Koa and Nate are competitive, are Zoard and Jack? Or maybe just during the Filmers Cup? Thanks guys

[@brandonsmith6240]

Was definitely gunna suggest y’all setup like this, so kudos to y’all! Yewww🤙🏻

[@wasabiginger6993]

Fun video, thanks!

[@myvideoguy]

Jack pics the best music 👌

[@julie.an.nalley9582]

Waiting for part 2 !

[@jlm02009]

Hope ur invisalign journey goes well, Nate

[@SecretSpots]

Next vlog do it live and grab a "30-pack" from the store and we'll all virtual party with you! 🤠

[@Growninfaith]

LOVE YA JACK YOUR A MASTER MIND!!!

[@onetimesportfishing3023]

These are great!!!

[@tamarasheue6515]

Awesome interview and talk 😊

[@Tyler_tjr]

Love the podcast! Could you guys give some insight into how you are such young homeowners on the north shore of Oahu? I am interested bc Nate always references real estate at least a little bit when talking about investing.

[@schnitty_NSBR]

You need to put the guests on one side and you two on the other, it makes interviewing so much better because you will both be looking at the guest and the guest back at you

[@alikajohnson9250]

AED Jack! Doing it

[@dougwalmer8620]

Yeah. Ben!!

[@rezarcher]

lol @ all gas no brakes

[@mikegillard1479]

Big fan 🔨🍻🤙🏽

[@graememichaelstephens4425]

Fuck yeah boys awesome insight once again koa and nate and Jack is a legend and does his bloody hard job well!!

[@TruthIsNot4Sale]

You guys need to always bring oil of oregano capsules with you everywhere you go for the Montezuma’s revenge and for anything else any illness sickness that will kill it super fast and it won’t ruin your trip

[@wcc1212]

Oil of oregano, is like that effective? I have taken it before, I dont remember it able to kill an intestinal parasite. Which is probably what these guys are getting on some of these trips.

[@TruthIsNot4Sale]

@@wcc1212 yes!! You have to get it with a high percentage of carvocrol it’s the best natural antibiotic it won’t kill good bacteria 🦠 just the bad ones 😉

[@cedbea6135]

Great one 💯 pura vida y saludos de costa rica

[@kyleavery6153]

I entirely forgot that Vine is the reason I found Jack, just pulled that from the depths of my memory

[@Felixvejimdocom]

Guys you do an amazing job! What do you think about the health vs alcohol use evaluation?! Nice, that you mention huberman! I think investing needs study, as someone new to it, it is like gambling… And life is a game, we play our character - how do you build your character? 🤙🌊🏄🏼‍♂️🔥🙏🧘

[@benandben619]

Hey just for the knowledge we still want crazy highlight videos! Like vlogs are good but want to see crazy highlight videos also :)
