12:50Dan!
12:52Let's try it.
12:53Okay.
12:55We have a few questions for you, that's for sure.
12:57Why?
12:59Why?
13:01Why?
13:02Why?
13:03Why would...
13:04I mean, you can do anything in the world and you decide...
13:08That's why he's doing this.
13:09...to do something with nobody.
13:12Why?
13:13The first 20 years of my life, I grew up in extreme fear.
13:18I couldn't talk, I would shake, I would stutter.
13:22The bullies would beat me up for 20 years.
13:25The night before my 21st birthday, I said, I'm going to put my fears to death.
13:29I want to take on risks and challenges.
13:31I prayed a little prayer to God and gave my fears to God, and my life changed.
13:36In 1997, I heard there were less than 12 swords followers left in the entire world, and I began practicing.
13:44I wanted to do something that the bullies could not do.
13:47I wanted to find my purpose and calling.
13:49I wanted to do something really remarkable with my life and prove the impossible was not impossible.
13:55Today, I have done that.
13:57Right here.
13:58Wow.
13:59But after that, your life improved, right?
14:10It took a long time.
14:11I practiced 10 to 12 times every day for four years until I got my first sword down.
14:17And now, I have 40 world records, and this is what I do for a living is inspiring people to do the impossible in your lives.
14:30There's one more thing though.
14:36So, last year, I found out that I had two tumors.
14:45So, I've been fighting cancer, and I'm hoping we can beat the cancer.
14:55If not, I'm going to keep living my life to the fullest, every chance I get, and take each day as if it might be your last day.
15:04I challenge my audiences, you've got to live life to the fullest.
15:07Do the most you can while you've got the chance.
15:14Everyone dies.
15:15Not everyone really lives.
15:18I do this for each one of you who's ever been told, you'll never amount to anything.
15:22You'll never be able to do anything with your life.
15:24That's why I do it.
15:25Wow.
15:34Wow.
15:43Your speech, I mean, we are only speaking like for two or three minutes.
15:49What?
15:50Sorry.
15:51Your speech is so inspiring.
15:53You know, we are only speaking for two or three minutes, and your speech is even better than your talent, which is insane.
16:00I mean, really insane.
16:02I don't know, this is something that I just want to now come home and talk to my husband like, you know what I just saw.
16:10I honestly hope that you're going to beat everything. And from the bottom of my heart, I think you just will.
16:22You can do it.
16:23You can do it.
16:29How many swords followers there are?
16:31There are just less than a few dozen.
16:34Okay.
16:35Okay.
16:36Actively performing around the world today.
16:37Okay.
16:38Not very many.
16:39There are more people who have gone into outer space or gone to the top of Mount Everest and have become a sword swallower.
16:44Amazing.
16:45Amazing.
16:46Then, I think that you know what we're going to say. We have to vote. And we will start with Davor.
16:56Yes.
17:05It's clear.
17:16Indiana.
17:18Unfortunately, we're going to see a lot more swords.
17:22Again.
17:25Swallowed by you, but gladly.
17:29We are inviting you to come one more time.
17:31We have four yes.
17:32Yes! Yes!
17:40Thank you so much, everybody.
17:55And maybe this is the best one, because he has to kiss it.
17:58Listen, he turns into himself like this, and on the other side is like this.
18:02Yes!
18:04You don't have any organs in yourself.
18:05Where does it hurt? Where does it help?
18:08Nothing will protect you.
18:11I just thought that my skin is broken in my head, and I won't go away.
18:17He said, just don't smack the whip, just pull it.
18:22Because if you smack, then the sword will go through my head.
18:24I do it.
18:26I am an idiot.
18:28No, no, no.
18:30Okay, that's not a good one.
18:32Top!
