@@irishjedi2522 Nothing you stated is “common knowledge” nor has any historical basis. Total falsehoods borne of a jumbled, misinterpreted ignorance of history.
@@irishjedi2522 Ezekiel 20:26 means exactly the opposite of what you believe. Just look at the preceding and follow up versus which makes it abundantly clear. Ezekiel 20:30-31. “Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord God: Will you defile yourselves after the manner of your fathers and go whoring after their detestable things? 31 When you present your gifts and offer up your children in fire, you defile yourselves with all your idols to this day.” God considered the pagan practice of passing the first-born through the fire (a sacrifice to Baal, Molech/Adad) *DETESTABLE*. Jeremiah 32:35 “They built the high places of Baal in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, to offer up their sons and daughters to Molech, though I did not command them, *nor did it enter into my mind*, that they should do this *abomination*, to cause Judah to sin.”
I roomed with this guy for 3 days on a fishing shoot in Oklahoma. One of the greatest men I ever met. Walking into a restaurant with him was like walking in with John Wayne. Everybody loves this man.
Noodling is no joke! My grandfather who was born in 1901 made me promise to never noodle. It was really common back then as an easy way to get big fish fast but can be dangerous. He always told us about a story where a friend of his went on a favorite hole, found a cat and he went down to get it and the fish swam up his whole are and started rolling. He made it out but his arm looked like ground beef! He never noodled again only poles after that
This is one of the best/most interesting interviews I've seen in a long time. What a feel good interview. Manny is a national treasure. He should be conservation czar for the US. He's the most reasonable and realistic naturalists I have listened to in decades.
My grandad spent 17 years in jail after the revolution. He was some low level guy in Batista's army, they were going to execute him by firing squad, but he was such a nice guy and so helpful to everyone in town that the people begged for his life and he was put in jail instead. He finally got to leave Cuba in 77. All Cubans have stories like this, this is why we are so against communism.
How can you be so ignorant? Hitler was. National Socialist. The National Socialists would tolerate and use the private sector for their benefit but believed in the critical factors of production being in the control of the State, either directly or indirectly.
@@dannyjones As an older lady, I'd just like to find a place to explore where I know I would be safe, (my days of adventure kind of wained) 😅 of all the things Manny could do, I bet he knows plenty places in that region for less extreme adventure. 😊
I am a 70 yo woman who was amazed this, I listened several times. I'm so fascinated, and to think of what a strong Christian h MANNY is. He turns the conversation to the Lord! Thankful the Lord spared your life so far for you to " tell of the wonderful things He has done"!
I have shared this great story telling with both of my beautiful sons. My oldest born in Florida and my youngest born in Hawaii. They’re aware of these incredible stories. This was my first time hearing them. I’m literally in awe. Thank you.
Totally agree with Mani… there shd be spearing ‘seasons’ or competitions a certain time each year to keep shark populations balanced. This is done with deer, bears, etc. more sharks attacking humans because the shark populations are growing and their food sources are diminishing because of this growth.
Or just accept the risks of entering their domain. You wouldn't run around a safari plane and not expect to be attacked would you? Humans don't own the ocean.
30+ years ago we were in a 22' open fisherman when a tiger that looked to be the size of our boat was working on a huge loggerhead turtle. Had already bitten the back hind quarter of this loggerhead completely off in what looked like a singular bite. This was offshore of Jupiter, Florida. He came right alongside our boat too.
Great interview; Manny is a good, decent human being, who has led a very interesting life mixing it with wildlife and nature. It was great to listen too. Also though, he is very humble and loves Jesus. You're alright, Manny. ☺
Danny you have come so far. I knew when I first saw how passionate you are for your content and you are always sincere. Please don't change. You are now a podcast guru.
I grew up around Manny in key west I remember when he came from Cuba he would go out on the boat with my father and friends he would jump in the water and swim with hammerheads.. unbelievable
Dude it's a Sunday and your releasing this vid I took a chance on your show about a mo th ago and I got to tell you man the few shows that I watched I gotta say ypu keep me captivated with your questions to your guest to maximize the info that's out putting. Fan 4 life bro.
Expected a new age hippy and ended up watching one of the most adventurous and God-fearing guests you’ve had. Thank you for this Danny and thank God for people like Manny Puig who inspire us.

@@WeaponsGradeNeurofunk you cracked me up with your comment. I ger that a lot. I'm a white dude from northern Indiana. I took 4 years of Spanish in high school class of 1999 and tested into Spanish 312 in college. I dropped the class the first day bc I was already fluent enough to speak and write grammatically correct Spanish and I use it as much as possible when going to eat Mexican food or buying coca cola from Mexican tiendas bc they don't use high fructose corn syrup in their sodas so its easy for the body to process and it does not stick to fat cells as bad. I'm a very white mutt except for my less than 1/8 Cherokee but my dad's grandmother was from the isle of man in the UK. So when i speak Spanish native speakers always ask how i sound like a Mexican when I speak Spanish. Well its from friends and ive never been to Spain. I went to the dominican Republic and made many friends as they thought this güero (white boy) is pretty damn fluent and i can roll my r. I still talk to my friends on WhatsApp when i want to practice. Up here we have mostly Mexican migrants so all i hear is the Mexican accent. I have used my Spanish on vacation to make brasileño friends. I don't speak portugués but they spoke Spanish but no English. Best part i hate onions so i always order in Spanish so i get no onions by accident. 22 countries have Spanish as the official language. Native Spanish speaking people always compliment my accent and i think latinas are beautiful so that doesn't hurt me either. If you saw me you would never know im bilingual. I have been asked if i was Hispanic before and it makes me laugh. Some day i think ill learn another latin based language.
Manny is a spearfishing icon in south Florida. Spearfishing is about as close as we can get to our primal instincts. It is one of my favorite things to do 33:15 I always compare sharks to pit bulls. That’s why he explains the strategy of maintaining your aggression to establish yourself as something the shark would rather not mess with
I went out with a Cuban woman for 5 years back in late 80's. Her family was spirited out of their country in 1964 as their father had worked in executive position for United Fruit Growers. They made it to New York just when Beatles played Ed Sullivan and/or Shea Stadium(?) Not sure exact chronology, but I do know their Pappy nor the kids couldn't go back - ever! Sad, yet very interesting to this day. Great podcast, Danny and Manny
this was the best show I've seen on this channel. Very interesting and knowledgeable guest. I completely agree with his beliefs on the environment and human population.
We don’t have protection laws for predator sharks in Australia and I’ve noticed the increase here, my theory is the mega trawlers, industrialisation of fishing has stripped the oceans of food so sharks are coming in towards land for food.
Amen to Manny! Humble God fearing man who believes in Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior! I never thought I would see it on this podcast! How blessed you have been Manny! See how easy it is for the younger generation to dismiss our God almighty and call YOU a God!? Prayers to this last generation that they're eyes may be opened one day. Whoa to those who must live through Armageddon to finally believe when all they had to do was ask Jesus into their hearts and not endure the pain that is coming to them...
Not sure how I missed this episode. I love Manny, he’s a proper mix of insane and brave. I agree with most of what he says. I used to be a charter fisherman, here in Va Beach/Outer Banks was my base but I’ve fished all over. The biggest reason the bullshark is the deadliest, aside from what Manny mentions is the fact that there are just way more Bulls that come into contact with humans, bc they are coastal and bc they can live in rivers as well. It’s just a matter of percentages. And he’s 100% accurate when he says that swimming away from an approaching shark is a death sentence. You atleast have a chance if you face up to it, jab at it with a spear gun if you have one and/or just appearing as the aggressor. Never turn your back to a shark. I also agree that sharks have made such a comeback that an annual shark tournament is probably a good idea to balance the numbers. Not only would it balance the numbers but scientists would have these specimens to test once a year, so it’s not just a killing fest for no reason. Barracuda has a nice white flesh, whereas Kingfish can be oily. I love kings, you just have to know how to cook it. I disagree with him saying the cotton mouth and copperhead are the same animal. Not sure why he would say that. Great show as always Danny.
Such a sick dude most my animal knowledge comes from watching wild boys and jackass as a lil kid. I always thought this dude was so cool and knowledgeable I’m glad he’s around
Fished many many times out of Flamingo, Huge Croc at the boat ramp, Ask Manny if he remembers the Ghost Hunter!! RIP Jeff Captain Jeff Belsik. Big Pine Key. We spent years chaseing bones, tarpon snook . Got a giant cobia off the back of a leopard ray Good show, tight lines God speed
I just like how he refers to himself basically as an animal...lol ...in the beginning he says his dad would grab his 'back feet' to pull him out the crab hole😂
Four minutes in and already established Manny comes from a family of baddasses. Excellent, i always pictured Manny as a random Gnarly back woods Florida man haha
I don’t believe in Christian mythology myself but there’s no question that much of the wildlife out there is in trouble from overfishing/hunting and even more so from loss of habitat. This is why I keep saying to have Doug Tallamy on here because he’s one of the few voices out there actually bringing light to the insect apocalypse. Which their numbers alone make up more of the life on earth than anything else combined so if you’re looking from the perspective of a Christian, then that would certainly qualify as 3/4s of all life. Troubling when considering that if we lose them then literally everything else will fall with like dominoes for total ecological collapse. All plants won’t be able to reproduce and subsequently causing famines, wars over all the remaining food and water, etc. etc. for everything they claim in Revelation. I also agree with him that things can/will regenerate if we just allow it to but that’s the thing is we’re expanding and clearing forest/land at unprecedented rates. We should be letting native species come back rather than replace them with foreign invasives that offer nothing ecologically to the local ecosystems, as well as shrinking the lawns in favor of meadows/wooded areas. Not to mention the plastics and chemicals being sprayed all over is out of control. We’re living in some very dangerous times right now, I just hope that people will really wake up to what’s happening but given how many are still brainwashed by the government/media it’s hard to say where things will go. Needless to say, love this dude and remember seeing him on Jackass and Wild Boyz. Really awesome to see him on here in a different atmosphere than the shenanigans of those shows. I seriously enjoyed this and hope to see a round three! Great talk!
Moved to Daytona Florida with my buddy for a summer he was going to school there the house was 10 miles north in ormond beach. We had a roommate that was from Southern California who surfed his whole life and offered to teach us I had no interest but my buddy did he was a snowboarder, water skier so he went with him. The dude told him before hand if a shark is around don’t panic because they hear splashing and think it’s an easy meal from a fish/animal in distress. They go way out and the dude gets scared because a big school of small fish swam past them and he seen a pelican flying towards them he said there is more then likely a shark near us they follow those fish because they know pelicans dive in the water to get a fish and the sharks jump out to grab the pelicans and that’s exactly what happened 2 seconds later. When they told me about it I thought it was bs so everytime I drove the 10 miles to Daytona I looked in the water when pelicans were flying low and I seen it happen it’s pretty crazy to see and man it wasn’t even far out in deep water. It was a bad idea to go in the water where we lived because it was swim at ur own risk no lifeguards it wasn’t a populated area you could be there all day and not have one person walk by you so if anything happened help isn’t coming for a good 15min if ur lucky.
Yeah, Manny is spot on with this, the world is NOT overpopulated. If you stood everyone, all 8.xx billion people, in a crowd shoulder to shoulder… the entire human population would barely cover the lower 1/3 of the 48 states.
Exactly, people are either blind, crazy or stupid to think the world is overpopulated. I'm Canadian and the amount of unpopulated land in this country alone is...the word that fits is *vast!* 🌎🇨🇦
I'm sorry, but how exactly does this demonstrate how many people the world can sustain? We are the most invasive species the world has ever seen and our population has more than tripled in the last 100 years. There's a reason that huge swaths of land are barren. It's because they are sh1t areas to live. Which is why every country from South Korea to the USA have people stacked on top of each other all over the coastlines. At our current population, we have to mass produce genetically and chemically altered crops and animals. Also worth noting that countries like China and India have huge populations that pretty much require authoritarian governments. Those countries also have some of the most disgusting living conditions compared to other impoverished parts of other countries. This idea that we need more people is preposterous. Quality over quantity...
@@veronicaspencelocke2003 Just ran some quick calcs, if the land mass of earth (510.1 trillion m2) was evenly divided to every person (8 billion). Each of us would get 60,000m2. The Great Pyramid of Giza has an area of 55,000m2 for reference.
During pandemic, people were not frequenting beaches as much as they were. Sharks came in further, now we are getting back in the water back to where we were and the sharks got a year to delve into new territory. That is my take. On top of there being more sharks. The one year of no/limited beach access was devastating for various reasons.
Manny! So weird..because I was looking through shark vids and I wondered what ever happened to Manny....I did not search for this vid...but I scrolled and this vid popped. I'll have to what the full vid when I have time. I used to see Manny out on the town in the Gables many years ago.... he was always such a genuinely nice dude.
Hey Manny I meet u wen I was a child u used to go spearfishing wit my day and it's nice to see ur good his name was Johnito carballea u called him JC and I am so proud to say I new u ...
Manny is a legend, and I am glad to learn he is a humble man of God. Makes sense now, because he does not fear as his father in heaven commanded through Jesus 365 times.
I just disagreed what was said about the Rainforest. He was discussing more about animals in the Rainforest but not much of the impact of insects and plant life. I would have to lean towards the belief what Paul Rosolie's argument was about the Rainforest seriously being threatened in a previous interview.
I'm a huge conservationist, and I am all about saving any type of habitat. That being said, the Spanish created the Amazon rainforest. It is a very young forest, for the most part. That whole area was populated before the Spanish brought disease. It was mostly crop fields and orchards.
Is it possible that sharks in the Pacific Ocean have become more aggressive because of the radiation that’s been flowing into the ocean since 2012 and continued to flow because they were unable to stop the radiation flowing from Fukushima?
It could be that they are migrating due to depletion from that and showing up unexpectedly. I grew up in California but I have been around the Gulf Coast living in Pensacola for many years. I am self employed and out talking to people all the time. I can say for a fact that since shark conservation, Bull sharks are out of control. That's dangerous because they will travel up River, go in the bay, run shoreline and like he said the most dangerous aggressive angry shark there is. They are eating catches and getting more aggressive as they grow in numbers and in competition for feed with more bulls, tiger sharks etc. They are man-eaters and will go after you without provocation.
@Koncrete - love how you want to reduce plastic usage / don't want to drink water from plastic bottles... but you know that cans are lined with plastic on the inside aswell? Only option would be glass ;)
This is real. My grandfather's family had property in the countryside and in Havana that was taken by the Cuban government. They came to Miami with my Dad in 1959
My father was a bad ass hands on mega man like Manny, Not to this extent but he was a true MAN, They dont make super men like this anymore. Zues before your eyes .
i wish you spent more time letting manny talk. it seems he had a lot more to say about topics but the subject changed or focus was shifted to the screen or you are reading as he is saying something. i would love to hear more episodes with him. thank you guys!

Manny is a spearfishing icon in south Florida. Spearfishing is about as close as we can get to our primal instincts. It is one of my favorite things to do
33:15 I always compare sharks to pit bulls. That’s why he explains the strategy of maintaining your aggression to establish yourself as something the shark would rather not mess with
They told me you can't ride sharks. So I went out fully intending to ride a shark an that's what I did.
I love this man.
I went out with a Cuban woman for 5 years back in late 80's.
Her family was spirited out of their country in 1964 as their father had worked in executive position for United Fruit Growers.
They made it to New York just when Beatles played Ed Sullivan and/or Shea Stadium(?)
Not sure exact chronology, but I do know their Pappy nor the kids couldn't go back - ever!
Sad, yet very interesting to this day.
Great podcast, Danny and Manny
I met Manny back in late nineties in Coconut Grove, Miami... I think it was at Wet Willies. Super nice guy.
so cringey when the interviewer tries educating the guest lmaooo
I love watching all your content koncrete! But… I really really enjoyed this show! Could have went on for 4 more hours though! Haha
This podcast has officially....JUMPED THE SHARK. I might read a few comments for 'lols', but thats it.
The interview is not really that big an advocate for critical thinking.
@@colmcgillveray1010 outstanding assessment!
@@colmcgillveray1010 I'm thinking that this sort of content is exactly what Google wants us to absorb.
this was the best show I've seen on this channel. Very interesting and knowledgeable guest. I completely agree with his beliefs on the environment and human population.
We don’t have protection laws for predator sharks in Australia and I’ve noticed the increase here, my theory is the mega trawlers, industrialisation of fishing has stripped the oceans of food so sharks are coming in towards land for food.
Loved this show. Manny is awesome. Great interview.
🙏
He was my Steve Irwin
Everything this man says is 100% true!
Not really heard anything of manny but hes a genuine man get him back dan
Is this the guy from Jackass that always swam with the sharks and did all the wild stuff in wild and out?????
COOL IT IS I WAS WONDERING WHAT HAPPEND TO MY GUY!!!!! VERY COOL !!!!!!
Yeap
Yup!
Wow, very cool intro with the death metal swag🤘
Manny used to chill at the Sand Bar in Cocunut Grove. Always shirtless, always fun to hang around.
😅
I miss old Florida; it's so built up now
Amen to Manny! Humble God fearing man who believes in Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior! I never thought I would see it on this podcast! How blessed you have been Manny! See how easy it is for the younger generation to dismiss our God almighty and call YOU a God!? Prayers to this last generation that they're eyes may be opened one day. Whoa to those who must live through Armageddon to finally believe when all they had to do was ask Jesus into their hearts and not endure the pain that is coming to them...
He's made frequent appearances on Jackass and Wildboys? Lol wtf?
He was the animal expert for Wildboyz, thats why
Do u not remember him? Lol
Jackboys and Wildass
@@melissamartinez3593yeah such a strange question
Manny has such a light in his eyes - It’s obvious he loves his life!
The most amazing thing is he is still alive !!
This man is a worldly treasure! 🌍 🌎 🌏 god bless Manny!
I am so glad he believes in the Lord Jesus Christ
Jesus!!!!! Christ!!!!! I ❤ Youuuuuuuu!!!!
Yes praise Jesus our savior and creator
He knows.
Jesus is the truth and the life.
Because if he didn’t, the world would crumble into oblivion
Not sure how I missed this episode. I love Manny, he’s a proper mix of insane and brave. I agree with most of what he says.
I used to be a charter fisherman, here in Va Beach/Outer Banks was my base but I’ve fished all over. The biggest reason the bullshark is the deadliest, aside from what Manny mentions is the fact that there are just way more Bulls that come into contact with humans, bc they are coastal and bc they can live in rivers as well. It’s just a matter of percentages. And he’s 100% accurate when he says that swimming away from an approaching shark is a death sentence. You atleast have a chance if you face up to it, jab at it with a spear gun if you have one and/or just appearing as the aggressor. Never turn your back to a shark. I also agree that sharks have made such a comeback that an annual shark tournament is probably a good idea to balance the numbers. Not only would it balance the numbers but scientists would have these specimens to test once a year, so it’s not just a killing fest for no reason.
Barracuda has a nice white flesh, whereas Kingfish can be oily. I love kings, you just have to know how to cook it.
I disagree with him saying the cotton mouth and copperhead are the same animal. Not sure why he would say that.
Great show as always Danny.
Such a sick dude most my animal knowledge comes from watching wild boys and jackass as a lil kid. I always thought this dude was so cool and knowledgeable I’m glad he’s around
Yeah, ty Manny and Danny. Every show is Educating, why I love KONCRETE
Wow, Mr. Puig knows his sharks, cool. I find his storytelling super entertaining.
brooo no way ii just opened youtube to another manny puig podcast bless ur soul dawg
What a crazy bad ass! one of a kind! Great interview
Fished many many times out of Flamingo, Huge Croc at the boat ramp,
Ask Manny if he remembers the Ghost Hunter!! RIP Jeff
Captain Jeff Belsik. Big Pine Key.
We spent years chaseing bones, tarpon snook . Got a giant cobia off the back of a leopard ray
Good show, tight lines God speed
Thanks Dave 💪
I just like how he refers to himself basically as an animal...lol ...in the beginning he says his dad would grab his 'back feet' to pull him out the crab hole😂
Four minutes in and already established Manny comes from a family of baddasses. Excellent, i always pictured Manny as a random Gnarly back woods Florida man haha
I don’t believe in Christian mythology myself but there’s no question that much of the wildlife out there is in trouble from overfishing/hunting and even more so from loss of habitat. This is why I keep saying to have Doug Tallamy on here because he’s one of the few voices out there actually bringing light to the insect apocalypse. Which their numbers alone make up more of the life on earth than anything else combined so if you’re looking from the perspective of a Christian, then that would certainly qualify as 3/4s of all life. Troubling when considering that if we lose them then literally everything else will fall with like dominoes for total ecological collapse. All plants won’t be able to reproduce and subsequently causing famines, wars over all the remaining food and water, etc. etc. for everything they claim in Revelation. I also agree with him that things can/will regenerate if we just allow it to but that’s the thing is we’re expanding and clearing forest/land at unprecedented rates. We should be letting native species come back rather than replace them with foreign invasives that offer nothing ecologically to the local ecosystems, as well as shrinking the lawns in favor of meadows/wooded areas. Not to mention the plastics and chemicals being sprayed all over is out of control. We’re living in some very dangerous times right now, I just hope that people will really wake up to what’s happening but given how many are still brainwashed by the government/media it’s hard to say where things will go. Needless to say, love this dude and remember seeing him on Jackass and Wild Boyz. Really awesome to see him on here in a different atmosphere than the shenanigans of those shows. I seriously enjoyed this and hope to see a round three! Great talk!
Leave a banana on your table for a month, you will have a fly apocalypse in your house
Wait is that MANNY!!! LEGEND
One of my very close friends. A genuine person with a love for the outdoors. Taught me many things and made me a bad ass trident!
Hope he led you to J E S U S.
Moved to Daytona Florida with my buddy for a summer he was going to school there the house was 10 miles north in ormond beach. We had a roommate that was from Southern California who surfed his whole life and offered to teach us I had no interest but my buddy did he was a snowboarder, water skier so he went with him. The dude told him before hand if a shark is around don’t panic because they hear splashing and think it’s an easy meal from a fish/animal in distress. They go way out and the dude gets scared because a big school of small fish swam past them and he seen a pelican flying towards them he said there is more then likely a shark near us they follow those fish because they know pelicans dive in the water to get a fish and the sharks jump out to grab the pelicans and that’s exactly what happened 2 seconds later. When they told me about it I thought it was bs so everytime I drove the 10 miles to Daytona I looked in the water when pelicans were flying low and I seen it happen it’s pretty crazy to see and man it wasn’t even far out in deep water. It was a bad idea to go in the water where we lived because it was swim at ur own risk no lifeguards it wasn’t a populated area you could be there all day and not have one person walk by you so if anything happened help isn’t coming for a good 15min if ur lucky.
That alligator said " u ain't levitating no more of my homies today...cahhh got cha neck!". "Dont let me see u back in these canals!!"...
Yeah, Manny is spot on with this, the world is NOT overpopulated. If you stood everyone, all 8.xx billion people, in a crowd shoulder to shoulder… the entire human population would barely cover the lower 1/3 of the 48 states.
🤘
Exactly, people are either blind, crazy or stupid to think the world is overpopulated. I'm Canadian and the amount of unpopulated land in this country alone is...the word that fits is *vast!* 🌎🇨🇦
I'm sorry, but how exactly does this demonstrate how many people the world can sustain? We are the most invasive species the world has ever seen and our population has more than tripled in the last 100 years.
There's a reason that huge swaths of land are barren. It's because they are sh1t areas to live. Which is why every country from South Korea to the USA have people stacked on top of each other all over the coastlines.
At our current population, we have to mass produce genetically and chemically altered crops and animals. Also worth noting that countries like China and India have huge populations that pretty much require authoritarian governments. Those countries also have some of the most disgusting living conditions compared to other impoverished parts of other countries.
This idea that we need more people is preposterous. Quality over quantity...
@@veronicaspencelocke2003 Just ran some quick calcs, if the land mass of earth (510.1 trillion m2) was evenly divided to every person (8 billion). Each of us would get 60,000m2. The Great Pyramid of Giza has an area of 55,000m2 for reference.
@@jasonhill1199I’d vote yes on that fa sho fa sho
How did you guys find this video? Please let me know!
During pandemic, people were not frequenting beaches as much as they were. Sharks came in further, now we are getting back in the water back to where we were and the sharks got a year to delve into new territory. That is my take. On top of there being more sharks. The one year of no/limited beach access was devastating for various reasons.
Most logical theory I've heard yet. Keep thinking on things, you're making sense
Manny is a legend 🤙🏻
Manny! So weird..because I was looking through shark vids and I wondered what ever happened to Manny....I did not search for this vid...but I scrolled and this vid popped.
I'll have to what the full vid when I have time.
I used to see Manny out on the town in the Gables many years ago.... he was always such a genuinely nice dude.
Hey Manny I meet u wen I was a child u used to go spearfishing wit my day and it's nice to see ur good his name was Johnito carballea u called him JC and I am so proud to say I new u ...
Imagine jackass being the least crazy thing about your life 😂
Haha
Awesome dude!!! Loved hearing about all his adventures and experiences
I have to say, this year, here in northern Michigan small community there’s been more black bear sightings than ever I think.
Garbage dumps and composting.
Jesus is Lord and Savior. I like this guy
Awesome podcast 🤙
I want my own Manny Puig 😂❤!
Manny is a legend, and I am glad to learn he is a humble man of God. Makes sense now, because he does not fear as his father in heaven commanded through Jesus 365 times.
He is one of a kind Lee
I just disagreed what was said about the Rainforest. He was discussing more about animals in the Rainforest but not much of the impact of insects and plant life. I would have to lean towards the belief what Paul Rosolie's argument was about the Rainforest seriously being threatened in a previous interview.
Yes
I'm a huge conservationist, and I am all about saving any type of habitat.
That being said, the Spanish created the Amazon rainforest. It is a very young forest, for the most part.
That whole area was populated before the Spanish brought disease. It was mostly crop fields and orchards.
Is it possible that sharks in the Pacific Ocean have become more aggressive because of the radiation that’s been flowing into the ocean since 2012 and continued to flow because they were unable to stop the radiation flowing from Fukushima?
Good question?
It could be that they are migrating due to depletion from that and showing up unexpectedly. I grew up in California but I have been around the Gulf Coast living in Pensacola for many years. I am self employed and out talking to people all the time. I can say for a fact that since shark conservation, Bull sharks are out of control. That's dangerous because they will travel up River, go in the bay, run shoreline and like he said the most dangerous aggressive angry shark there is. They are eating catches and getting more aggressive as they grow in numbers and in competition for feed with more bulls, tiger sharks etc. They are man-eaters and will go after you without provocation.
Him and Julian have the best podcasts on this platform in my opinion
@Koncrete - love how you want to reduce plastic usage / don't want to drink water from plastic bottles... but you know that cans are lined with plastic on the inside aswell? Only option would be glass ;)
Super fascinating interview!
What an amazing guy 🤠 great interview! Those tridents are badass 🔱
His tridents are the real deal!
I loved this dude in Wild boys ! What a bad ass 🤘🏼
This is real. My grandfather's family had property in the countryside and in Havana that was taken by the Cuban government. They came to Miami with my Dad in 1959
💪💪💪
I have family through Marta that got their land taken as well and came to Florida
That shark attack in egypt killing that Russian guy recently was just unreal. Think it was a tiger or bull. The whole thing was recorded.
Traumatizing video 🤢
The live chat for this video was the best in years , thanks all,🤣 i was laughing so much , it made my day
You get great guests. It varies so much from show to show
Thank you brotha
My father was a bad ass hands on mega man like Manny, Not to this extent but he was a true MAN, They dont make super men like this anymore. Zues before your eyes .
True story
i wish you spent more time letting manny talk. it seems he had a lot more to say about topics but the subject changed or focus was shifted to the screen or you are reading as he is saying something. i would love to hear more episodes with him. thank you guys!
wow Manny hasn't aged in 20 years.
😅
Wow the rational comments are surprising! Humanity is more normal than appears sometimes. 😊
manny is a legend. only knew of him through the jackass guys growing up.
6,000 grizzly bears live in Japan? Wow, that is so interesting! I was never even aware that there was a Mexican grizzly.
