Apparently this guy is some international phenomenon with 50M YouTube followers which is a good reminder of the scope and size of this world, along with the overwhelming talent that populates it on a daily basis.
Another thing that stands out though is that I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video. The chaos in the background with each sound. The growing ingenuity behind each challenge. The simple, immediate and flawless responses each time. And then just the overall vibes of a bunch of Korean dudes making wholesome and supportive content for the internet. Like this is just really good shit and sometimes on CarlsBlogs.com we’re going to keep it this simple and say that’s really good shit.
Korea does this.
They have a really talented and skilled population. And overall it just seems like such a fun and warm culture filled with good people.
I used to work with/for this Korean guy and he was awesome. Maybe the kindest coworker I’ve ever had and also one of the sharpest dudes I crossed paths with in public accountant. He knew all the excel formulas. Every single one of them. And he could tell you in rhythm when to open a parenthesis, which cell to reference, when to use the dollar sign and all the sub-formula functions you’d need to close the cell. It would sound something like:
Just open a new cell, equals if open paren, dollar sign A dollar sign 2, does not equal c3, open quote, false, close quote, equal sign, vlookup open paren, reference column D, dollar sign A dollar sign 2, control tab to next datasheet and take columns B to F up to row 175…
And he could just do this cold turkey without even looking at your computer. Everything existed in this guy’s head which was pretty intense but paled in comparison to his intensity driving a suped up Subaru Impreza. It looked like a shitty hatchback but he had like a corvette engine under the hood and the car was customized into the $50,000 range despite not having power windows or a functioning radio. One of the stranger cars I’ve been in but also super bad ass because driving down to State Farm together felt like a scene from Tokyo Drift.
That’s my limited exposure to Korean culture through work and I really enjoyed it. And in reflection I miss working with that guy Jeff. He was so smart and nice and knew just about every answer to all my entry level questions. Overall just a good experience.
Anyways beat boxing has been in my algorithm a lot lately so let me leave you with the most jaw dropping beat boxing of my lifetime from the guy from Police Academy doing Led Zeppelin.
Like I said. That’s really good shit.
