You wanna be the first YouTuber to go to space? Is that correct? Yeah so my most recent kind of crazy concept is, yeah. I wanna see if I can fly to space and I think I can do it. If you want anyone to do a little test run. You can be the guinea pig, then. Welcome, everybody, to Trevor Talks Too Much, the show where I bring on a person, a guest you could call them, and we talk and we have a little conversation and we see if, hey, maybe we can be friends, maybe we can talk again sometime or maybe they’ll hate me. Who knows what’s gonna happen? I’m your host, Trevor freaking Evarts. I am the mythical soft boy, master baker, and amateur wake surfing enthusiast. I’ve only done it a couple times, but I tell you what, it’s fun. It’s fun. Today I spoke with Carter Sharer, who’s a YouTuber, one of the top YouTubers out there. He’s making all sorts of cool content. He’s building stuff and we had a cool conversation. You know, we had a time, we talked about all sorts of stuff. We talked about the robot uprising. We talked about his house that was literally haunted, or so he says, I don’t know, I’m still on the fence, and how we might have a claw machine competition in the future. Who knows? I’m kind of nice at the claw machines. We talked about aliens. Speaking of aliens, ’cause we talked about which aliens we would not wanna fight and which ones we would wanna fight, I’ve been watching Ben 10. Okay. Are you familiar? No. You don’t know Ben 10? What the freaking heck? No, I think it’s a little after my time. It’s Cartoon Network. It’s like the greatest show. So Ben 10, let me give you the backstory. So his name is Ben Tennyson and he goes out in the woods and they’re camping and something falls from the sky and he goes and looks at it and it’s like a weird wristwatch and it attaches to his wrist and it lets him turn into different aliens. So he picks a alien and then he slaps it and then he turns into that alien and he has their powers. It’s called the Omnitrix. And so the show is called Ben 10. It’s great. It’s on Hulu. It’s a great show. You should watch it. Actually, it’s held up pretty well. ‘Cause I remember really enjoying it when I was a kid. All right. You’re not gonna watch it. Oh, probably not. You’re literally a hater. No, I’ll watch it. I’ll watch an episode. No, you don’t have to watch it, okay? You know what? You freaking old fart. They put a lot of old cartoons on streaming services now, which I like. I recently been watching some Courage the Cowardly Dog. Oh great one. Great show. How that was a children’s show is beyond me ’cause that’s pure nightmare fuel. Yeah, really though. It’s like freaky. I think there’s something about kids just like not understanding the concept of fear or something, like, you know, when something crazy happens to a kid, like they should be scared and they just don’t care ’cause their brain just doesn’t quite process things in that way yet? I think that’s the way it worked. Kids just like, oh, funny dog with like a big creepy floating ghost in the sky. Oh this is cool. Funny dog made a laugh and he yelled and he beat the ghost or he beat the big floating whatever, and I don’t know, I don’t know how that, that was like literally so scary. Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy. Another great cartoon. What’s your favorite cartoon? I am like really obsessed with Bob’s Burgers. That’s a more current cartoon. If you’re talking about old school. Tina. Yes. Of Bob’s Burgers. I haven’t watched Bob’s Burgers. I’m sure it’s a great show. I just don’t. It is quite hilarious. But if you’re talking old cartoons. I feel like there’s some disconnect here, Jamie, I feel like we’re not really on the same wavelength right now. No, no, well ’cause you’re talking, which I enjoy, like Angry Beavers, CatDog. You’re talking about old school cartoons. Those ones. What about those? Doug? You’re not that much older than me. That’s what I’m saying. You know those ones. Yeah. I remember watching CatDog like a couple times. See, because if you were like just five years older, it would be more prime of CatDog than it has Ben 10. Well like, Hey Arnold, you like Hey Arnold? Fricking love Hey Arnold. Hey Arnold’s great. Football head. And that mean lady with the unibrow. Helga. Is that her name? Helga Pataki. Why do you know that? Because I love that cartoon. That was my childhood. Jamie, can you please stop going on and on about cartoons? We gotta get into the show at some point. Do we? This is a first everyone. This just in. Jamie is the one that wants to keep talking nonsense ad I am the one that wants to get into the show. This is a first. Jamie, stop talking about cartoons. I’m done, I’m done. What does the world come to you when I have to be the one that keeps us on track? This is backwards. See, you’re becoming the villain of the show, Jamie. I’m the hero. I’m becoming the hero now. It’s not what everyone thought would happen, but it’s what’s happening. Let’s get into this show. Everybody, welcome Carter Sharer, founder of Team RAR, prominent YouTuber, builder of all sorts of cool things. Welcome to the show. Thank you. Thank you so much for having me. Yeah. Thank you for being here. If you don’t know Carter, he does a lot. He makes a lot of really cool YouTube videos. He builds a lot of really cool stuff. He does a lot of really cool experiments, stuff like that. ‘Cause you have a background in engineering, right? I do and my job is to try to build cool stuff and having the exposure growing up to building things and ultimately getting a engineering degree, I think all definitely helps in the process of trying to make and do something cool for content. Yeah, for sure. That’s awesome. You like robots, right? Like, is that kind of one of your favorite things to build or engineer with? That was always my goal was like, okay, if I’m gonna get a job growing up, I want to build robots. That’s what I always wanted to do. So that’s what I like was pursuing before YouTube and in school, I always just wanted to learn all the skills necessary to build robots. I don’t know, maybe watching Dexter’s Lab too much when I was a kid or something, but yeah, that was my goal. That’s awesome. As someone who likes robots and likes building robots, are you afraid of any sort of like a Skynet Terminator situation? Does that freak you out at all? ‘Cause I have an Alexa and I can be pretty harsh to Alexa sometimes and I’m worried that when the robot uprising happens that my Alexa is gonna murder me. Yeah. You know, I don’t know. I don’t think we’re anywhere near that. I think technology is growing fast, but I don’t know. Robots are super complicated. I think we’re pretty far off from that. I mean they make the ones that jump and like do back flips and stuff now. That seems like pretty spooky. I can’t do a back flip and there are robots that can, so they’ve already got a leg up on me there. That’s true. But there’s probably like one of those. And that was probably like the best take out of, you know, 100 or something. All right, sounds like you’re trying to, you’re like on the side of the robots. When Skynet happens you’re gonna be one of the humans that they let live. I feel like you’re just trying to coax me into a false sense of security right now, but that’s okay. I mean, hey. They’re gonna help everyone that you know, built robots and I like robots and I’m gonna be on their side. I see you’re planning for the future. I respect that. Maybe I need to get into robot building. I need to become an ally of the robots so that when it happens, I’m not fodder. You gotta be nice. Oh man. I do love the Terminator, though. Yeah. I do, I do need to be nicer. Because she’s dumb. Okay? So she’s stupid and she’s older, okay? She’s an older Alexa, older model, and the amount of times that I just say something and she doesn’t listen and I repeat it like a million times and then eventually I just yell ’cause I’m like, Alexa, I wanna hear this song and I’ve asked you 10 times and you’re not getting it and then I just get angry at her and it’s like me projecting, you know? And, you know, she’s doing her best, but it’s just frustrating sometimes. So as someone who builds things and engineers, what do you think is like the craziest thing that you’ve ever built? And after you answer this, I have another question for you. But what do you think is like the craziest, coolest thing you’ve ever built? You know, I’ve built a lot of different things, and the goal for pretty much everything I like to build is to be crazy and to be cool. So it’s hard to pick one but I built the world’s tall trampoline tower, which was pretty crazy, and it’s literally just like get trampolines and you stack, you know, one trampoline on top of the other and just see how high you can go. And we set out, first of all, I wanted to build a trampoline park in my backyard. So I ordered 30 trampolines and I wanted to just fill every part of my entire backyard, which was like a square or like a rectangle. And I just wanna cover in trampoline so you could like bounce across trampoline to trampoline. It just looked like a park, but it was in my yard. So I bought a bunch of those. We filmed a bunch of videos with it and, you know, it’s two weeks later, you can’t even cut the grass. I mean, we’re covering all square inch of the backyard. Grass is getting long and then I’m like, okay, we got to do something next. Like we gotta clean them up, take them down, whatever, I’m like, but I don’t wanna take them down. They’re making great content. So we came with the idea to stack them. If we stack them then there’s gonna be less on the ground. We’ll have more vertically up in the air. So we just started stacking them. We figured we’d go like 6, 7, 8, you know, high, which is really high. I mean your climbing. Reasonable number. And I think by the time we got to, well, we got to eight and then, you know, I jumped, we built it next to the pool. So I jumped off in the pool and that fall was like huge. I fell for like two seconds. It was like a cliff jump in my backyard. And so after that I’m like, all right, I think we’re good. Like I almost didn’t jump and I’m pretty reckless with stuff, so yeah, that was a pretty high jump. I don’t know how high it was, but it was high. So then after that we Googled it, like, what is the world record? Well, we found these other YouTubers that way in the past, they did it, they did 10. And so I was like, okay, we’re at eight. We need to go to 11 though. So we need to stack three more trampolines on this thing, and so we did, we went all the way to 11, and it was really crazy tall. I mean, everyone, you walk out to the backyard and you just, you know, you look up and it’s huge. It was like 30 to 50 feet tall and 11 trampolines high. So that was pretty crazy and it was super fun ’cause we built it right in the middle of LA and so many people came over. We did so much content and people would jump and flip off it and it’s just crazy. Yeah, super fun. That’s insane. How do you even get up? How do you even get up a stack of trampolines that tall? That’s what everyone asks. But you just climb up the side, just like a ladder. Like it’s just. You just climb up the side. It’s just like a ladder. Yeah. Like you grab like, you know, the one rung and you just. What did you use to like keep them structurally stable? Like you didn’t just like loose stack them on top like a Jenga tower. No we didn’t. We would put the, you know, for every tower we’re building, we would get, you know, the next trampoline that goes up, we get these metal hose clamps. It’s kind of like a zip tie, but they’re made of metal and you use a, you know, a drill or a screwdriver or something to tighten it down with a little worm gear and it clamps so we they did a couple of those on each foot the whole way around, so that would hold them together. Like they’re not gonna fall off, but the strength of the whole tower was literally just the trampolines. Oh wow. That’s crazy. I don’t know if I could do it. I don’t know if I could climb up a trampoline tower and jump off. I feel like I’m pretty reckless. Like, I’ve jumped off stuff before, but that seems like extreme. Yeah. It’s definitely extreme. Not everyone would come over and jump off it. I can imagine. Okay. So, follow up question. What’s the most useless thing you’ve ever built? What have you built that serves no purpose? Just completely useless. Oh, that’s also just about everything I build. We bought a bunch of giant Legos. Regular Legos, you know, they’re like the size of a, you know, a Lego, the big ones are like the size of almost like a cinder block. Like they’re life size, like building bricks, and we built entire Lego city in my backyard, we built like different mini structures. Some were like one story, some were two stories. And then we painted like roads to them and we drove little cars and go-karts. We had like a Chick-fil-A with a drive through. We put food in like a grill so you could cook food and serve it to people in there and we did like a whole like functioning mini city. We had like a jail. We had a swimming pool. We had like a four story clock tower that was like 20 feet tall. Yeah. It was pretty crazy. Oh my God. That’s so cool. That doesn’t sound useless at all. That sounds like my fantasy. Like I wanna live in the Lego city. Yeah. I mean, my friend kept going on with content there, and he converted one of the structures into a three story Lego hotel with like a mini fridge, an air conditioning unit, a balcony. Like he just was living in there. So yeah, he lived your fantasy of doing this. That’s so cool. Plus, perfect giant defense, right? ‘Cause like a Lego city that seems large to us humans. If a giant came along, stepped on a Lego, they’d be down for the count. That’s right, you wouldn’t get stepped on. You wouldn’t get stepped on, and if you did, you’d have a perfect defense. Jamie’s laughing, but she knew I’m right. Jamie’s cracking up. But it’s a good theory just in case. You want to be, Jamie wrote this down, you wanna be one of the first YouTuber to go to space? Is that correct? Yeah, so my most recent kind of a crazy concept is, yeah. I wanna see if I can fly to space and I think I can do it. Like, you personally fly to space, not be put on an aircraft that is going to space. Not just be a passenger to space, but personally fly to space. Yeah. I mean there’s more than one way to get to what people would call space. And I think the easy way would just, yeah. buy a ticket on the new Virgin Galactic for, I don’t know, $1,000,000 or 500,000 or something. Yeah, I guess technically you could go to space and claim, first YouTuber to space or whatever, but I wanna like DIY it in my backyard and I think it sounds crazy. Sounds like an episode of Phineas and Ferb. Yeah. But I think I can do it. I’ve done two videos kind of working towards this goal already, and the first one, we sent one of, it’s like one of our Team RAR monsters, we sell these plushies, which is our character, our logo. So I sent one of those to space. It went all the way up to space. It was like a three, four hour round trip, and it came back down and we recovered it. So that went to space and that was like a small scale test of what I’d like to try to do for myself. Wow. Well, so what’s the plan then? I haven’t seen these videos. What’s the mechanism? Are you just like building a rocket? Probably not a rocket. So there’s two people in the history of humans that have flown to space using basically a large balloon. You know, there’s more science to it than just balloons, but you can get it’s called a lighter than air aircraft and sort of very similar to the way we did it with the plushy where you get a huge giant helium balloon and you get an aircraft, which you have the payload, and you have the Team RAR plushy on there, and that goes all the way up to space and then it pops and it has a parachute system that worked its way all the way back to ground and GPS tracking and stuff like that. So there’s two humans that have done that. And the last was, I think, in 2012, and he was like the second human to go to space and then you just jump off and you just fall for 15 minutes, free fall back to earth. Like, that’s how far away you are. Yeah. Just free fall back to earth. 15 minutes. Nothing like it. Would you like film the whole way down, do you think? Like, vlog style? Yeah. Just holding like a camera, yeah. Just vlog. Just a little GoPro. Minute five, heading back to Earth. Yeah, I think so. Holding strong. Oh, there’s a bird. Yeah, so anyways, I give it a try, you know, not something that’s gonna happen overnight. There’s a lot of factors and training and things, but like, I just want to have this larger than life goal. That’s always something that’s driven me. And I feel like, you know, becoming a YouTuber, for example, was a goal I had for a very long time, which is like, just be popular and successful, and that was like the craziest thing I could think of. Quit my job, moved into my parents’ house, like crazy story, and just that kept me driving. It wasn’t realistic. Nut because it was so big it made me drive for it. So I’m kind of switching my focus to something. What’s next? What’s even bigger? Okay, well I think going to space would be really cool for both content and YouTube and stuff and it’d be pretty huge. You know, like, I don’t know how many people have gone to space, but I don’t think it’s a lot. No. Yeah. I mean that would be insane. I wish you the best of luck on your journey in the future. Because if you want anyone do a little test run, I would do it. I would fly to space. I won’t jump off the 11 stack trampoline, but if you want to tie me to a big balloon, we could just do it Up style. You just tie a bunch of balloons to me, just see how far I go. Little test run. I’m down. I’m your guy, I’m your guy. I’ll make it a two seater then. No, you can just send me to like right before space just to see, you know? And then I can just like pop the balloons. You just gimme a needle and I’m like, oh, there’s space. I’m almost there. And then I pop the balloons, came back down, and then you go up ’cause I wouldn’t want to steal your thunder. But I would wanna make sure it’s safe. I would put my body on the line for that, I think. Then, if I die, then, you know, hey, we got more testing to do, right? Yeah, you can be the guinea pig, then. Yeah. Yeah, no, I’m totally down for that. Totally down for that. If you did go to space and you found yourself in sort of like in an Apollo 18 situation, which was that crappy alien movie where they went to the moon and then got attacked by aliens on the moon, what do you think you would do? What would be the game plan if all of a sudden there were aliens on your balloon, per se? I would definitely try to vlog it. That would be pretty. I think that’d be very viral. I hope that would be on trending and stuff. But yeah, I think my first instinct would be, let’s vlog it and let’s make sure we get this footage home, ’cause this is gonna be pretty cool. Oh man. What a world we live in. I’m getting attacked by aliens. Quick. Get the camera, mom, get the camera. There’s aliens. They’re trying to pop my balloon. What fictional alien monster would you least desire to face in combat? For example, you’ve got the Xenomorph from Alien. You’ve got Predator from Predator. There’s the Thing from The Thing, the Monstars from Space Jam and like, I don’t know, Yoda. That’s like five off the dome. There’s other aliens, but you know, think of any alien, which one would you least like to face in combat? Probably the Alien. That one’s crazy. Really? Yeah, the saliva has, like, acid in it. That’s the one with like the mouth inside the mouth that comes out. Yeah. But I mean Sigourney Weaver outsmarted the alien. Do you think that, I mean you’re, I don’t know, she’s a scientist or something in that movie, but I feel like you outsmart the alien, you know? I mean, if I fly up to space. I feel like you’re capable. Maybe. I mean, if I fly up to space and the Monstars are up there and they just wanna play me in basketball, like I can probably handle that. Yeah. That was my thought a process too, you know? I’ll just get, you know, LeBron James, MJ, we’ll take him out, you know, grab Bugs Bunny. For me, it’s the Predator, I think. I mean he’s like built to kill and you can’t just shoot him with a gun. I mean, Arnold Schwarzenegger did it, but I’m nowhere near that level. I don’t think I could take the Predator. I think I could outsmart the alien. I think I could outsmart the Xenomorph. The Thing from The Thing, you know, he’s creepy, it’s creepy, but you could just shoot it, you know, with a gun. It’s susceptible to human weapons. I don’t think Yoda would fight me. I’m also a lot taller than Yoda and I think I’ve got reach on him. I think I could. I don’t know. That would be a tough one, but I think his moral code wouldn’t allow him to fight me. So I don’t think I have to worry about that one. I wouldn’t fight the Predator though. That’s a battle I’m not winning. Yeah I’ll just have to make sure I do diverse alien training before I go up. I’d beat the crap out of ET. If ET landed in my backyard, he’d get the crap kicked out of him. He’s going home in a body bag. Let me tell you what. He’s standing no chance. Oh man, you used to work, or when you first got your engineering degree, you did some work with self-driving cars. Is that correct? I did. Yeah. That was like my first and only job before YouTube. Do you trust self-driving cars? I don’t have a self-driving car even though like I did work on some of the technology behind it. Yeah. But I would say like, not really. I mean, they’re gonna get better. Thank you, thank you. But you can’t trust them blindly. Yeah. They’re gonna get better. I don’t know. You know, they’re trying to get A to B, and there’s a lot of things in between, but there’s so many different edge cases, right? So many different scenarios. There’s so many times where you’re on a road and it’s turning and then there’s potholes or the lanes or the sun is in the camera or there’s just some kind of, they experience new situations that nobody thought of before and that happens pretty frequently. That’s why you hear these kind of crazy scenarios where a Tesla does something crazy. And instead of slowing down, it speeds up, and it kills everyone or it crashes in a horrific way. And it’s like, that’s going to happen. It’s probably statistically better than trusting your life with a human. But you know, it doesn’t get that press like that. Yeah maybe it’s ’cause I’m like old fashioned and like arrogant. I don’t know. I still drive a manual, but like, the idea, I don’t even like cars that beep at me. I drive a Jeep and I’m parallel parked all the time. When I have to parallel park my girlfriend’s car, it like beeps at you and you get close and I’m like, I know how freaking close I am. Stop beeping at me. And I don’t know. I don’t like it. Self-driving cars freak me out. I like to be in controlled with it, but I consider myself a good driver and there’s a lot of people out there that are not good drivers. So I understand the appeal of it. Like I think you’re right. The majority of human beings could definitely benefit from having a smart robot drive their car. But I don’t know for me, I’m just like, it freaks me out. I don’t like it. I think I’m starting to realize I have a distrust of technology. Yeah. You don’t like the robots. I think there’s something in here. And you don’t want self-driving cars. No, I don’t. I saw Terminator one too many times when I was a kid. I don’t like the robots. They freak me out. No, robots are good. I think they’re good for the world. But also, I don’t know. I’m not smart enough to speak to robots. I think you’re very smart. I feel like you know a lot and I’m just like scary robots. I cook, I’m a chef. I believe for a video one time you won every single thing in a claw machine. Yeah, I did. Do you have any tips for claw machines? ‘Cause I do a lot of them and I consider myself okay. But I want to know the secrets. What did you learn from that experience? What was the takeaway? There’s actually a lot of secrets. I’m not sure I’m allowed to tell you those secrets. What? But let’s just say claw machines. Is big arcade shushing you right now? Are you getting hush money from big arcade? I got a lot of prizes and part of the way I had to do it was, so claw machines are rigged, which means they’re programmed. Obviously. Well, maybe not in the way you think. They’re programmed to only let the claw like grab with good force. Like once every, maybe, 10 turns. So that means if, as you’re playing, not every play that you get does that claw actually grab with enough force to pick anything up. So you’re guaranteed to lose until it’s that 10th turn. But that 10th turn also has to be in a position where it can grab something for it to be good, you know? And so there’s a setting on all claw machines. You can do it where every is good or one in 10 or one in 100, whatever. And so you can basically throttle and control how many things get picked up because they’re not gonna have the strength to do it, and so for the video that we did, we got the arcade owner to go into his machine and program it and turn that off. So every grab that the claw did was like full force. So you’re a cheater. I won every thing in the claw machine is what I said. See, you gotta work smart. You cheated. I didn’t cheat. Everybody out there, this just in. Carter is a cheater. He paid off the arcade owner. He said, I’m gonna give you money. You turn off the setting. You rigged it. No, I didn’t. No, I didn’t rig it. Have you ever been to an arcade called Round1? I think there’s a few of them around LA. I don’t know, it does sound familiar. Yeah. It’s a Japanese-based arcade. They have tons of games. They have like bowling and stuff too. But they’ve got these really interesting claw machines. They do have some of the standard ones where, you know, you claw, you pick up and grab. But a lot of them, they’re like, I don’t even know how to explain it. You have like this almost two pronged claw. So it’s kind of like imagine like it kinda looks like this and it like goes out and then goes down. But the way that you play them, there’s like strategy to it, there on a lot of people post videos about it on TikTok. But you don’t try and grab the thing. You have to like push it off and there’s these specific parts, ’cause the toys are all like balanced in certain ways in the machine and then there’s certain spots on the toy that you have to push to get down to make it fall down. I don’t know. They’re really cool. And my girlfriend and I go to that arcade a lot and we spend a lot of money ’cause they’ve also got like the coolest freaking toys in those claw machines. But it’s really fun ’cause they have like a lot of strategy and there’s a bunch of different types too. There’s one where you have to drop a thing down that has a hook on it and then you have to hook to pick something up that has a little chain attached to it. There’s some really interesting claw machines, so it could be something you could look into ’cause I’d love to see a strategy video on those. ‘Cause I’m like, okay, you know, I’m so so, but I would like to get better. I don’t know. You seem like you would be really good at them. I feel like I’m pretty good. I mean, speaking of claw machines, I actually have one in my house. Can I come over? I wanna come over. What do you have in there? What kind of toys? We normally have like iPhones or something in there. What? Well, that’s why you’re rigging it. So that I never win. That’s right, we can’t. I’ve actually had some kids come over. How much does it cost? It’s like a dollar I think. Or maybe it’s 25 cents. Hmm. All right. I got some quarters. They’re my laundry quarters, but. There you go. I mean, we’ve had fans come over and they ran that machine dry. They won everything. They had t-shirts, we had water bottles, they got an iPhone. I mean they just cleared it out. Is it like a normal claw machine? Yeah it’s got like a little three, you know. Is it like a standard? Okay. It’s a lot to have claw machine off. I’m trying to think about how I could. See who can do the best, you know? Dude, I’ll destroy you as long as you don’t rig it. Okay. I’m actually lowkey kind of cracked at claw machines. I know I was being humble earlier when I said I wasn’t that good. I’m insane, okay. I win everything. My girlfriend wants to play them and she’s like, okay, but I win everything, and then she always gets all this stuffed animals, but you know, I can live with that. It’s the thrill of success that does it for me. That’s my victory prize. But I think I could do pretty well on claw machine-off. Yeah. I mean, we might have to go. That’s me throwing down the gauntlet, Carter. Okay. Well, we’ll see. You wanna go arcade off? Podcast 2 is gonna be in an arcade. I have a weird talent. Live podcast in an arcade. No, because I think that what you said about like the claw machines, I think most arcade games I would imagine are kind of rigged like that. Like things are rigged to win after a certain number of plays, right? Like once there have been a certain number of plays, then you start to hit things like the jackpot. I don’t know if I’m insanely lucky, but I have this weird talent ’cause the arcade that we go to Round1, it has a ton of different games and like you can win tickets and there’s prizes and stuff. I have this weird talent where it’s happened like five or six times, I will go up to a random game, play it one time and hit the jackpot. Like literally first time up, I just go up and I hit the jackpot, and I like to think it’s because I’m talented, but it could just be that I’m very lucky. And I happen to just, you know, oh, I got the one where they decided they win. But I don’t know. I like to think it’s because I’m good at games. Well, you know, all these games are kind of like robots in a way. So if you like playing claw machines. Don’t say that to me, don’t say that to me. Okay? I’m not on the robot side here, Carter. Robots are trying to win. I’m not on the robots. They’re trying to play nice. If you’re gonna say that all of the arcade machines in the arcade are robots, then maybe I am on the side of the robots, okay? Because I spend too much money at the arcade. I love playing games. You’re funding the robot uprise. Whether it’s video games. I think I’m funding the people that own the arcade. Well, they’re gonna build more arcade machines. So they’re gonna get smarter every year. If you’re playing a game to learn how to kill the thing that you’re playing? Well maybe they’re showing you the wrong way how to do it to trick you in the future. This is too much. This is too much for me. I’m losing my mind right now, man. I’m losing my freaking mind. But like how does me shooting a basketball into a hoop help the robots? I mean, it might not. I don’t know. Now, I don’t wanna go to the arcade. You’re not going for a hike, you know? You’re playing with machines that have programming and microcontrollers and wires. Are you saying that me going on a hike would better prepare me for a robot uprising? I would say going on a hike is definitely not supporting it ’cause you’re not encouraging the use of technology. So you won a competition called the, sorry, I’m switching it up. I can’t. I go on tangents. I do it too often. So I’m cutting myself off before Jamie does. You won a competition called the Odyssey of the Mind Engineering Competition. Is that right? Yeah, I did. I’m curious where you even learned that from. Oh, Jamie wrote it down. I got it. Okay. Yeah, Jamie, what she does is she writes down a list of facts and I read them. So she’s, okay. So someone’s, you know, stalking me. Because this goes way back. Yeah, Jamie’s the internet stalker. So that’s like 12 years ago. Oh wow. Yeah. That’s like a 12 year old question. And this is well before I ever posted or filmed videos, like my life wasn’t public, my life wasn’t even public like eight years. Yeah. After that. So anyways. Yeah. Honestly the mind is this. I’m sorry Jamie stalked you. Well, hey look, it makes for a good question. I haven’t thought about this in a long time, so. Yeah. I’m curious what it is. ‘Cause I think the whole idea for Odyssey of the Mind is to have this program for people of all ages and the way that this would work is like early in the year you would have like the regional competition you’d go and compete and it would always be in the form of some kind of like vehicle and I loved building vehicles growing up. They give you very specific rules, very specific budgets. And you’d have to basically solve the problem with creativity. I forget exactly all the, you know, details. Basically you just gotta create this human powered, you know, thing and drive it around and compete in these different challenges. And so what I wanted to do was to create a vehicle that didn’t use any wheels, which if you kind of think about it, it’s like, well, how many vehicles don’t use wheels? And I didn’t wanna just do like a wheel that had like shoes on it and it spun around. Like I wanted to like not have a circular wheel of any kind. I didn’t wanna have treads. I didn’t want wheels, like absolutely nothing. And it has to be human powered so it can’t fly. Like, I wanted to walk. So I was really into designing like legged locomotion. I created basically this wheelchair and instead of having like four wheels on it, like a wagon, it had 12 legs and you would spin these cranks and through this gear box and mechanism it would walk across the ground with legs. And so we won and it was amazing. So it was really cool to be the best in the world. That’s so freaking cool. Is that something that’s still around? You know, it’s so crazy. I have it and I just got it back. It was in my parent shed for since I built it in 2010. You still have the contraption? I just got it back ’cause my parents were cleaning out and they wanted all my stuff out of the house. It’s like super dusty, but it’s there. I still have it. It’s crazy. That’s so cool. It’s super cool. Yeah. That’s so awesome. That sounds like such a cool experience. So you just moved houses, but, you used to think that your house was haunted. Is that your old house that you lived in that you thought was haunted? Oh actually, it was for sure haunted. Like, I know for a fact. Oh, you know for a fact. Give me the facts, then. The house that I rented is in a place called Holmby Hills, which is, you might have not have heard of it. It’s the Bel Air of Bel Air. It’s the Bel Air you don’t hear about. And it’s all the old money. I knew it’s some point, probably about like six months or so, I wanted to see if I could upgrade, spend a little bit more money. So literally with like two days later this house came up and the price was so cheap, I mean super expensive but for what you’re getting compared to anything, I mean, there was nothing like it and the house was amazing. It’s huge, the driveway is massive. It has like a north gate, a south gate, it’s on 1.9 acres in the middle of Bel Air. And so anyways, flash forward like a couple weeks, three weeks later and it was like, you know, it was like a sunset, six o’clock, you know, like sun was kind of coming down and I’m on the phone and I’m just chatting and I’m sitting on the couch downstairs and I could, you know, hear some people upstairs kind of finishing up work, walking around and. you know, doing laundry or something. And then probably like five minutes later I realized, no one’s home, everyone left. Like, I shouldn’t be hearing someone up there walking back and forth, shutting doors and opening the laundry and shutting it. Like, you know how like they kind of click and they. Yeah. Yeah. I’m thinking like none of that stuff is justified. Like, I shouldn’t hear anything. What? That point I’m there and it’s getting darker, it’s about like nighttime. It’s just the transition of like a little bit of light, now it’s like dark and I’m on the phone and I remember putting him on speaker and muting it and ’cause he’s running and he is talking and so I’m just letting, trying to listen. But I’m also trying to like survive. I’m like, okay, like what is that? This is the second night I heard something. This one was just like over the top, like for sure someone or something’s going on, I need to leave, so I’m sitting on the couch, I’m planning my escape. So I’m think, okay, well what do I do? I’m gonna go in the kitchen. I’m gonna open the drawer, I’m gonna grab the keys. I’m gonna go from the keys out to the driveway, into the car, start the car, and then go out the gate. Once the gate opens, I’m home free, I’m driving into the city, I’m going to west Hollywood. I was gonna go to Liz’s house and, you know, go stay with her or whatever, just leave. I’m home alone and it didn’t seem that way. So I do all that, I go through my plan while he’s on mute. Not trying to be like, hey man, I’m freaking out, I think it’s a ghost trying to get me. I can’t tell him that. Right? So I have to like stay quiet it. And if he’d ask me a question, I’d take it off the mute, and I try to answer real quick and put him back on mute while I’m like trying to survive. Like I feel like I’m in a movie right now. I get to Liz’s place and I’m like, yeah, I got scared. I’m honestly embarrassed. Like I don’t believe in all that kind of stuff, but there’s some dude at my house, like for sure, right? I just could hear it. Like there’s no way to justify. And so she thought it was funny, whatever. So yeah I pick up my phone while I’m laying in bed and I Google my address and then after I say haunted I hit search and article after article come up about the haunting of my house and the story in history of the house is insane. And I’m sitting there reading it and the things that they would say is you’ll hear footsteps in the attic and doors closing, all the things that I heard. And I had no idea and there’s literally all these articles. There is a TV show filmed there about the haunting of the house, all this stuff I had no idea. Now, you know why it was so cheap. That’s why it was so cheap. The first person to live in that house, her name was Sonja Henie. She’s a Norwegian Olympic figure skater who was a gold medalist, super famous, like top two or three famous people in the world at the time. Wow. So her boyfriend was Hitler. There’s black and white photos of her and Hitler and then there’s photos of her in the house, in the backyard, in my bedroom, and she lived in this house and towards the end of her life she went to go home ’cause she got sick and she died and never made it out of that house and they say that she’s there haunting the house and it’s literally Hitler’s ex-girlfriend. What the what? Yeah. So it’s, yeah, it was crazy. That’s crazy. That’s insane. Oh my God. I love stuff like that. I have never had any personal ghost experiences. I don’t know what I would do if I did. I’d probably be really freaked out, but I kinda want to, that’s insane. It’s like you experienced it firsthand. I’m just very analytical. So I don’t believe in ghosts and all that stuff, but when it comes to this house, it’s like, yeah, if you don’t believe it or not, it doesn’t matter. Like you can go to bed in that house and you will hear footsteps in the attic. Oh, oh. Yeah. Just all kinds of like stuff. But no technical like ghost sightings or like seeing something float around, but you 100% will hear stuff. That’s crazy. That’s crazy. Well, Carter, this has been great. Thank you so much for coming on the show. Yeah. Thanks for having me. I’m glad I could talk about my ghost stories and try to cleanse myself of all my haunted past and move on to the new house, which, you know, I’m hoping isn’t haunted as I look around. Here’s the thing. If we could go on about the ghost stories for another hour, I would, but then Jamie would be very upset with me when she goes to edit this later. No, seriously, thank you so much for coming on. What are you thinking? Do you thinking you wanna do the claw machine-off? You wanna do the arcade off? Do you wanna hang out sometime? Do you wanna be friends? I think we should do the claw machine-off and then, you know, I think we should go to haunted attic and see if you get haunted. Okay. I’m down, I’m down. And then maybe friends after that? Well, you know, let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Okay. All right. I’ll take it. I’ll take it. You hit me up when you wanna get destroyed in a claw machine-off. All right. Well, I’ll be in LA in a few weeks though. We’ll do it. Yeah, let’s do it. Let’s freaking do it. Thank you so much for coming on. Yeah. Thanks for having me, this is fun. Everybody, that was Carter Sharer. Make sure to go check him out on YouTube, Instagram. He’s doing some really cool stuff. He builds some really amazing things, putting that engineering degree to use, but yeah, go check him out please. Jamie, how did that go? You know, I feel like the claw machine competition could truly happen, but he didn’t really seem like he wanted to keep contact in a personal sense. No, no, not at all which is fine. He seems to make a lot of content and I could see how he would only want to be friends with me in so far as I provide him with content. That’s what it’s like, hey, you wanna like, you know, do a thing, do a video, do it whatever. Then yeah, let’s do it. But then I was like, well, do you want to just like, you know, talk? And he, I don’t know, which is fair. That’s fine. Hey man, that’s the grind. That’s the hustle. Yeah, I think he probably doesn’t have a lot of like, ’cause he’s creating so much all the time, he probably just doesn’t have a lot of downtime for that and when he does, he’s like, I don’t want, I just want my girlfriend and that’s it. Yeah. Yeah. He seems like he makes to a lot of content. Also probably like all of his friends, all of his like closest friends, are like the people that he makes videos with, you know? Which makes sense. Claw machine. Claw machine. I tell you what. I’d wipe the floor with him. I’m gonna say that now. I’d destroy him. I’m nasty at claw machines. Yeah. You were being humble at first. I was, I was being humble at first. Okay? But now I’m gonna be arrogant. I’m crazy with it. You can ask my girlfriend and you can see the plethora of stuffed animals that she has because of this guy right here, this guy. Hello everyone. It’s Trevor from the future here.
