they're building another titanic - Danny Gonzalez/2 Danny 2 Furious

Hello everyone,

welcome back to
the second channel.

I have some terrific news.

The Titanic

is getting a sequel.

Now you're probably wondering,

"How could the Titanic possibly
get a sequel?

It's a historical movie."

Like, nothing happened after it

that would require another movie."

And to that I would say,

"I'm not talking about the movie.

I'm talking about the BOAT.

The BOAT is getting a sequel."

[sips a very bubbly drink]

Crack open a sparkling water

and let's jump into it.

[Tiktoker] They're making a
second Titanic

that you'll be able to sail on

if you want to.

You heard that right, we got
the Titanic 2 before GTA6.

[Danny] I actually like

that that's like a common joke

that people say,

because it reminds me of like,
ancient times.

Before they had, like, the current
year-numbering system

They would describe events happening
as being in the time

of a particular king ruling,

in the time of some historical event.

So it actually kinda
makes me feel like

in the time before GTA6,

we are getting the Titanic 2.

This is gonna help historians a lot
in the future.

[Tiktoker] Now this replica Titanic

is supposed to be far superior
to the original Titanic

and will carry passengers around the world
in quote, "Style and luxury."

This sounds exactly like the first
Titanic so far.

[Danny] Well, not exactly like
the first Titanic.

Cause the first Titanic was SUPPOSED
to carry passengers around the world.

But I think it only got like halfway
if I recall correctly.

Cause something happened, I don't exactly
remember...

[Tiktoker] The Titanic 2 is supposed
to start construction next year

as the Australian billionaire
heading this project,

who is named Clive--

[Danny] Uh, I like that this guy and the
Australian billionaire

are on first-name basis.

Who is this guy?

Clide?

Oh, his name is Clive.
The fifth richest Australian.

He has iron ore and coal holdings.

What is this dude, a Minecraft villager?

And he would actually trade you some bread
for an emerald. (villager noises)

[Tiktoker] The third time the Titanic 2
was supposed to be built,

but you know what they say,
third time's the charm.

[Danny] Wait, wait, wait, wait.

So he tried to build it multiple times
already and failed?

Dude, I don't know if there's like
a better sign

that the universe is telling you,
"Don't do this"

than the construction project itself
failing three times.

[Tiktoker] If it's actually completed
this time,

it will be done sometime around
June 2027.

[Danny] It'll be done in June 2027
and will inevitably crash

(glass shattering sound)
in July of 2027.

[Tiktoker] Since the announcement,

many people online are very very
skeptical of the ship.

It seems like when it comes to
anything to do with the Titanic,

people believe that history
will end up repeating itself.

[Danny] I mean, look,
I don't necessarily think

that there's anything inherently, like,
cursed about the Titanic,

I don't think it's like, destined
to crash into an iceberg.

It's just kind of a weird thing to do.

And also if you're making a one-to-one
replica,

I guess you could argue that, you know,

the first Titanic obviously did have some
kind of structural flaw to it,

because when it ran into an iceberg
it broke.

I don't know if my-- actually,
I don't know if that's a structural flaw

or if that would happen with any ship.

Would that happen with
a modern cruise ship?

What would happen if a...

(laughs)

Wow, this is some interesting
search results.

What would happen if the sun exploded,

if the moon disappeared,

if Yellowstone erupted,

There's a lot of existential threats
in the Google search results.

Okay, don't get distracted.

What would happen if a modern...

WOAH!!

Cruise ship hit an iceberg!

That's the only recommended search result.

Wow. All I typed was "what would happen
if a modern."

Unlike Titanic, modern liners
are welded together, not riveted.

But the hull would still buckle impacting
an iceberg that hard,

and presuming she hits and the bow
takes a large impact, she will sink.

Take this with a grain of salt cause this
is from a Quora answer.

Someone did make a point that legally

they have to now have enough
lifeboats onboard for everyone.

So hopefully it wouldn't be as big
of a deal if they crashed into an iceberg.

If I was a billionaire, as soon as I heard
about this guy's plan,

I would also announce
that I am planning on

building a sequel to the iceberg.

And I'm gonna put it directly in the path
of this new Titanic.

It's gonna be like a
billionaire game of chicken.

Okay, here's an article
about the whole thing.

What is the Titanic 2? Billionaire Clive
Palmer revives plan for replica ship.

Essentially recreate the exact same ship
that sank in 1912,

including a third-class cafeteria that
will serve stew and mash at long tables

for those interested in the most
authentic experience

This kind of reminds me of that
Star Wars hotel.

The one where you just, like,
get locked in it for two days

and you don't have windows and you
just have to pretend you're in Star Wars.

That actually ending up closing
cause it was really expensive.

It just feels like a very immersive
experience.

And I bet, like, the third class tickets

are also gonna be really expensive, too.

Where you get served stew and mash.

Doesn't sound that luxurious.

Crucial quote.

"So I could do the Titanic.

I'm gonna do it."

Sounds like whenever
they got this quote from,

he thought of the idea
right then and there.

He's like,

"Mm, I could do the Titanic.

(ding) Yeah, I'm gonna do it.
I'm gonna do it."

It's a lot more fun to do the Titanic
than it is to sit at home

and count my money.

Yeah, well, that's probably what

the people who made
the first Titanic thought,

and look where they are now.

(ominous bell tolling)
They're dead.

They actually weren't on the boat,

but they are dead now, because, you know,

that was like a hundred years ago.

The ship is physically
smaller than the majority

of today's trans-Atlantic cruisers,

but largely on par when
it comes to capacity.

Yeah, actually, that's interesting.

I feel like I've seen pictures of modern
cruise ships next to the Titanic,

and it's actually insane how much bigger
modern cruise ships are.

Let's see if Google can guess what
I'm gonna type in.

Modern cruise...

ship versus Titanic.

Damn, dude!

Yeah, look at this! Look at that, man.

And that's not even the biggest
cruise ship, that one in the background.

Look at how big this cruise ship is.

Sorry, why would I pay to be
third class eating mashed potatos and stew

on a Titanic sequel

when I could go on this literal
city on the water?

Granted, I don't really like cruises, so
I'm not gonna go on either.

I mean, it doesn't seem like
the experience even compares.

Look at this!

Look at them go!

If you were on this thing and it
hit an iceberg,

I don't think you would even notice.

You'd be havin' too much frickin' fun.
(whooping, cheering sounds)

Okay so the Titanic 2 is gonna be
882 feet long.

Icon of the Seas is 1,197 feet long.

You know, that's actually, like...

closer than I thought it would be.

That's like, what,
like a 300 foot difference?

Oh, but it's twice as wide.
100 feet versus 213 feet.

Damn, Icon of the Seas, she thicc.

Okay, here's a video of (laughing)
Captain Clive

talking about his idea.

He's not gonna be the captain of
the ship, is he?

He's like a mining tycoon,

I don't think he knows anything
about driving a ship.

But I guess that might make the
experience a little more authentic.

[News anchor] Eccentric billionaire
Clive Palmer has relaunched

his plans to build the Titanic 2.

For the fir-- rather, the third time in
just over a decade.

At this point, it's not even the Titanic 2
anymore.

He's tried to build this thing
so many times

it's like the Titanic 5.

[News anchor] Yes, Clive is
dreaming again!

About building a tinny.

[Danny] What kind of conspiracy
theorist-ass newsroom is this?

What's going on back here?

(vaguely British accent)
In other news, I'm also very close

to solving the mystery of the m--
royal murders.

Oh, it's Kate Middleton back there!

That's her name, right? The princess?

Or whatever, that was like, missing?

Dude, he's like full-on conspiracy
theorist mode back there.

[Clive] When you reach my age
you either wanna build a boat

or go on a holiday, so I thought
I'd build a boat.

[Danny] When we reach your age,

you either build a boat or go on holiday?

That's weird, I feel like I have a lot
of relatives that are his age

and (laughs)
none of them have ever built a boat.

But I guess they have been on holiday.

You know, you could make that kind
of statement about anything

as long as one of the things is
something that most people do.

Most people, when they turn 16,

either get their driver's license

or fly up to the moon and blow up in
a big explosion of glitter and confetti.

[Clive] You'd be going back in time.

To-- to nineteen hundred and twelve.

When men and women looked
at each other differently.

[Danny] Yeah, back when men and
women looked at each other like,

"Oh no! The ship's going down!"

(laughs)

[News anchor] The Titanic is coming!

With Clive assembling the media
last week to declare--

[Danny] Aw, he's holding a little...

like, media press conference
for his event.

Do you think he's done this every time

he's started trying to make the
Titanic happen?

(pitying piano music) Guys, I don't think
he really wants to build the Titanic.

I think he just... wants the attention.

He just likes getting a lot of people into
a room and announcing something exciting.

And is that so wrong?

When you get to his age, you
usually do this type of thing.

[Clive] The first ship will come
into service

scheduled at the moment in June 2027.

[News anchor] The first?
You mean, there's more?

And only three years away? Hm.

So, what's the cost?

[Danny] This news reporter is having
none of it.

He does not buy any of Clive's dreams.

"Oh really. 2027?

And you're actually gonna build it
and you're gonna build multiple?

You dumb sack of shit.

How stupid do you think we are?

Can you just end this press conference

so I can get back to
solving these murders?"

[Clive] But I'm sure the shipyards all
are charging me a billion dollars for it.

[News anchor] They can see
a sucker a mile away.

So, will anyone hop on board?

[News anchor] (laughing) It sank!

Why would I buy a ticket on another one?

[Old lady] Oh, go for it, Clive,

I hope you go down to the
bottom of the sea in it.

[News anchor] Ouch!

[Danny] That was such a pleasant way
to say "I hope you die."

[Danny] (Australian accent)
"Well Clive, I hope you sink down

to the bottom of the sea and have
a little party with the fishes."

[Businessman] And the Fin Review
got it, right? You're worth 23 billion?

[Clive] I think we're, uh, yeah, ten or
fifteen percent range.

That might be right.

[Danny] Imagine having so much money

that you actually (laughs)
don't know seem to know

how much you have.

He was like, "Yeah, I think so.

I should check.

Actually, I haven't checked
my bank account in years.

I don't even know
if I have money anymore."

(laughs) He logs into his bank account

and he's actually the
poorest person in Australia.

"Thought I was a billionaire,
what happened?

Spent all my money trading
with that villager." (villager sounds)

Okay, here's another related video about

mining billionare Clive Palmer
suing the Australian government

for 300 billion dollars.

[Tiktoker] In 2012,
the WA government rejected a proposal

by Palmer's mining company for
a mine in the Pilbara.

Palmer sued the WA government,

but failed for a number
of different reasons.

Palmer is now attempting to sue
the federal government instead.

Why?

Palmer's mining company is Australian.

[Danny] Why? Well,

he likes money, and he wants more of it.

So, he figured this would
be a good way to do that.

(laughing) He also wants to build
a boat that costs 300 billion dollars.

[Tiktoker] Now, the Australian government

has signed a trade agreement
with Singapore.

It offers some protections to
Singaporean investors.

Palmer is effectively arguing
that he is a Singaporean investor

entitled to these protections.

So now he's suing for 300 billion.

[Danny] I don't know man, I hope
he loses that case, cause, like...

If the ship is gonna cost
1 billion dollars

and he's about to win 300
billion dollars,

what other kooky ideas is
he gonna come up with?

He's gonna do Titanic 2,

He's gonna do...

The Hindenburg 2.

He's gonna do...

Smallpox 2.

(bad Australian accent)
"Gonna take us back to when

smallpox were a thing.

When men and women looked
at each other different.

They looked at each other like,

'Oh my god, we've got smallpox.'"

(laughs)

(usual American accent)
That was not a good Australian accent.

I'm not proud of that.

Billionaire says his long-delayed
Titanic 2 ship will be antidote to

"woke" politics.

...How so? (laughs)

That's why the first one sank, is it?

(reading) It'll be a COVID
vaccine-free environment.

Vaccine-free how?

He said, (bad Australian accent)
"We won't have any."

(usual accent)
I can't do an Australian accent.

I'm sorry. (laughs)

Gotta stop trying.

We don't believe people
should be compelled.

You might be aware of it, but I recently
funded a case in Queensland

where we had the vaccine declared unlawful

because we believed that impeded
on individual choice and freedom.

So your way of committing to
individual choice

is by making the Titanic 2 a
vaccine-FREE zone.

You're not-- actually not
allowed to get it

if you come onto the Titanic 2.

Yeah, no, that makes sense.

Oh, okay, he says that vaccinated
people will be allowed on the ship.

That's very kind of him.

This gets to something you said
in your recent press conference,

which is that the Titanic 2 reflects
traditional values

instead of "woke" values.

So can you explain what that means?

He said, "There's been a concept
in society that you can cancel people.

I think that you know what I mean
by "cancelled" people,

and we think it's a terrible concept.

The United States was founded
on the rights of men to be different."

(laughing) Yeah, but
you're Australian??

Okay, that literally didn't answer
the question at all.

He just doesn't like that people
can get cancelled now.

Well, you know who all got cancelled?

Everyone that went on the Titanic.

Okay, so this is the website for
Blue Star Line's Titanic 2.

We are very pleased to announce

that after unforeseen global delays,

we have re-engaged
with partners

to bring the dream of
Titanic 2 to life.

Wow, "partners?"

You know, back in the day we
used to just say

"husbands" or "wives" but,

I see the woke mind virus
has taken you over, Clive.

Third class experience.

Wow, yeah, that really is, like,

what you'd expect from a 1910
cruise ship third class experience.

You're bunking with other people,

it's like a, basically a studio suite,

the sink is right here,

there's probably a toilet
just out of frame.

It seems like Clive might be the
type of person to be like,

"Men don't have any power
in society anymore!

Things are too woke!
Everything's against the man now!"

So he's making this cruise ship to
go back to the time of the 1910s,

but the joke's on him, cause
when this thing sinks,

all of the women and children are
actually gonna get to take the lifeboats.

And the captain especially always
goes down with the ship.

Sorry, Captain Clive.

Okay, so apparently in 2012

Clive Palmer was trying to build
a real life Jurassic Park in Australia.

Clive, what are you trying to do?

Are you TRYING to cause a
catastrophe?

The hell, I don't think you have
good intentions at all anymore.

You're tr-- You ARE a supervillain,
I think!

This is sure to spur some fire in
dinosaur lovers,

which is quickly assuaged by
Extreme Tech's Ryan Whitwan,

who warns folks that birthing
a dinosaur is a bleak possibility

as we don't have
the living cells to do so.

It's funny what the insanely rich
can think of

when there are more important
things to create in the world;

how about homes for
the homeless to start with?

It's actually not really even funny
what they can think of,

cause he didn't even think of this.

It's just from a movie.

I don't know if you guys saw it, but
there's a movie about this, actually.

And there's also a movie about
the other thing, too, the boat?

This guy's just stealing ideas

from 90s movies.

Next, he's like,

"I wanna build toys that
come to life!

And can talk to each other!

But whenever humans
come in the room,

they fall down.

Pretty good idea I just
came up with.

I'll call it 'Toy Story."
(gasps of wonder)

Alright, well, I hope you enjoyed

this deep dive into the lore of
the Titanic 2.

I'll see you guys next time,

uh-buh-bye.
