The Worlds 9th Largest Pyramid Is A Bass Pro Shop

- The 9th largest pyramid in the world is a Bass Pro Shop located in Memphis, Tennessee.
But it didn’t start out that way. It was originally built as a stadium but was cursed by a crystal skull before it opened, failed as a venue, sat empty for awhile before finally being converted into the Bass Pro Shop we know and love today.

This form of video with no cuts is refreshing, genuine effort in storytelling is rare nowadays.
Right? Its so refreshing to see someone actually care about their videos quality :-)
So true right here. Bruh. Keep doing this please. Like this tho. Little shows are for losers and suckers. Build a big ass pyramid with long format. ❤❤❤
The eye scanning though,, have seen high school newscasters with better skills.
I haft to agree

THAT WAS IMPRESSIVE!!! Dude i know how hard it is to monologue for that long, I've done it live! I am impressed!!!! Like I have a BA in Theatre Arts, and i can see how much effort you put into this dude. Very impressed with this. If you think you can handle doing this, i would say keep it up, because its HARD, but IMPRESSIVE and UNIQUE still! No one else is doing something quite like this in a 10 minute monologue in one take. If you can refine this so its easier for you to handle but like this still but more and just as Tight, you are golden! I like how your hands end up leading us to images, maybe do more breathing exercises before filming because you are running out of breath toward the end there but clearly this is your first time and you did try for a long time to get this right.
I didn't think I'd watch a ten minute video on the Bass Pro Shop pyramid, and yet, here I am, having finished the whole video.
I'd say this works in terms of video creation.
I agree with you.
Hey, Doug! Love the long form content! It really is up to you but don't pressure yourself too much to do everything in 1 take, you still are and will make amazing videos with how good your storytelling is!
I think I can say you speak for all us ❤
Yeh, I’m the same way, going crazy over the little things, but you’re right: I think the impact to video enjoyment is minimal compared to the amount of suffering.
Maybe a limit of 3 takes of the final script MAX, then chose the best. The material and presentation is good enough that a few mistakes can be corrected with a text insert or played for laughs.
I think seeing it in one take, regardless of mistakes, is the appeal.
@@bldbar118 or just throw up a picture of money over his face and then edit in him saying sales. No one would ever know. So many pictures pop up all the time anyways.
Good job Doug, if you mess something up, just correct it and move on. This did not have to be perfect.
Yess exactly! Well said!
These videos are absolutely fascinating and your delivery is always so iconicly good. I can't wait to see what you'll cover next :)
I can’t believe the bass pro shop lore is this crazy
Great video! I think your stuff translates to longer form content pretty well, but don't pressure yourself to do it all in one take. Excited to see what you'll do next!
You're doing great, Doug! The more you do these long form videos, the easier it will be! Practice makes perfect! Good luck in the future!
Doug! That was absolutely astonishing! I had to watch the video again to realize it was all one take, well done! Don't feel pressure to always have an uncut monologue, but know those of us that have watched your long form videos love it and appreciate the talent involved! Hopefully the algorithm will start recommending these videos to your many other subscribers that came on board for the shorts! Best of luck! You're doing fantastic!
Hey Doug, I saw your short where you expressed your worry and anxiety about this new path you're on. I think you're killing it and I'm here for it man. Here for you, we appreciate you and what you're doing!!
Im not gay or anything but he looks good
Pride month is over bro
Frfr
Aspiring looks ya mean?
Yeah
Fr
Lowkey dig these longer videos! Keep them coming
will do!
@@DougSharpe Thanks for your hard work.
Good stuff man, I think once the ball gets rolling a little more, hiring an editor could do wonders as you wouldn’t have to make the whole video in one take and it would allow for a deeper connection when story telling. Keep at it
I'm very used to 1 video = 1 subject, so I'm hoping you'll keep it this way. And this was amazing because it was full length while still capturing the amazing story of this pyramid. Especially since the monologue is so captivating to want to see the end.
Love the videos and super excited to see the longer format. I do think it could be broken up into sections though to a) make your life easier and b) give me time to process all the super interesting info/story you're telling.
Doug! You´re doing a great job! You can record yourself in sections, to make it easier, and use your transition pictures to make it smooth for the viewer.
Persevere. You´re amazing, and you´re sharing light to stories little know. More fun facts for the world, is more knowledge shared.
Greetings from La Serena, Chile
Agreed. Long monologues can be really tough to do, and having some transitions between shorter bits will benefit him in the long run too.
Also, Comments are good for the youtube algorithim.
You did fantastic! If its easier for you to cut it up, you could just find breaks when you show photos. I truly dont think your community would mind segmenting it for your ease. I think more people on this channel want to see you succeed more than anything, the fact videos are just an awesome bonus!
I like your style of delivery with the short form, but it was tough in the longer form. The information was great, very well documented. Maybe try slowing down for the longer form. Breathing is good! I think it's great that you're doing this!
That was amazing. Considering it's the Bass Pro Shop I wasn't expecting it to be this interesting but your delivery nailed it. It was fun to watch. Your delivery is very unique and refreshing. Keep it up. Don't be afraid of trying a few hidden cuts tho. A 10 minute monologue is no easy task. Don't burn yourself out because this is really good stuff.
Seriously! The only reason I even watched it was because I knew he'd make it interesting.
I've been there couple times, and it's crazy cool
your non stop fact spitting is super impressive man, watched the whole video just glued to the screen. waiting for more long videos, i know how hard it is to do this without pauses. actually mega impressed by your skill
I love your videos, short or long. If the longer ones are too stressful, stick to the short ones. They are both great
Just slow down for the long videos. Rapid fire is great for the shorts, but for longer vids, just tell the story. We will definitely still watch! 👍
Sections would make sense, it would make production easier. You looked a little frazzled at the end. Less frazzled = more videos for us 😁
Yeah, that was pretty incredible delivery stuff!
I watch more short form these days, but I liked the info narrative and especially images here, and think this gets you more ad revenue, which is cool.
I think your biggest step up would be realising that this already really really good.
Love to you, comrade.
Duuuuuuuuude Doug I had to do a project in my last semester of college that was a similar story telling format to this video. Talking for so long without any cuts while making negligible mistakes is so impressive!! My video was 6.5 minutes long and I remember being so goddamn frustrated with how difficult it was not to stumble over my words, it took me hours to record and I eventually had to accept minor mistakes. I am seriously so impressed with your execution in this video!! The way you tell stories is so captivating! I would enjoy more long form content. Nice work, keep it up!!
Nice vid Doug! While I do enjoy the one shot take, i think I’d still appreciate it with one or two cuts for any flubs. I think the effort it takes to do all of this in one go probably isn’t worth it when you’re doing 10+ minutes straight of monologuing. That format seems more fitted for short Tom Scott type vids but I still do find the use of minimal cuts to be relaxing to listen to. Good work 👍
Fun fact: i always thought he is holding the the phone in a 45 degree angle and thats just the ceiling. But after i saw the full length videos, I learned, he's just filming in the attic of his house 😂
Dig the long format, but if it’s too stressful, got for some cuts. Can always compare the two later. Very cool story regardless.
one full monologue for 10 minutes is impressive
Being a Memphian (transplant, but have lived here longer than anywhere else), I am so happy that you did this video!!!!
I like the monologue, we don't even notice the "mistakes" you talk fast which we appreciate and it comes with the territory.
I also like the way you speak while delivering the information it’s very concise and refreshing
How the hell did you read out the entire story so fluently? Did you use a magic teleprompter? Or did you actually remember every single detail of the story? Whatever way you did it, you did it perfectly and I completely respect you for that
Nice job, Doug! Your 1 minute videos started showing up in my feed. Always enjoy those. It's because of those that I watched this one. Visited this place once. Was neat to learn the history.
Hey!! Loved the longer form video!! As for "what do the people want?" We want to see you doing what you love!! I really enjoyed the video. One thing I like specifically about your content is the variety of topics you cover. I love scrolling and hearing "Fun Fact!", it lets me know I'm about to learn something new and interesting.
Your pace is just perfect and the info always interesting. More? Absolutely yes!
This was a great informative video. The history behind the whole pyramid and it's transformative into Bass Pro Shop kept me watching. You were definitely on point with your storytelling.
This was great. I never knew all of this about this pyramid. I like your story telling style because you get a lot of info out there in just a short amount of time
Let’s go, Doug! Long form is harder to get rolling but such a good long term strategy :) well done!
Hey doug 😊
I love your videos and your sincerity.
I prefer the short fun facts.
I think you have the feeling that you need to Change something after deciding to do it full time.
I don't think that you need to change anything.
You are a sincere and great person 😊 just learn to trust yourself more 😊
trust is a feeling and not a thought 😉
Just keep doing what you are doing 😊
I love your videos. Long or short form. So interesting!;Well done. Keep up the good work
This was so interesting! Well done, the monologue format was impressive too!
Love what you are doing! I just watched all of your long form videos in one go (not the skiing ones, although I may look at some later). Liked and tried to comment on them for the mighty algorithm. Redoing takes over and over again is a pain. Done that before. One reason why I haven't made more videos. I like the idea of segments with photos in between if that makes sense for you. But do what works for you. Sounds like you have dedicated followers regardless. This needs to be easy enough for you to not get resentful of the process while you are building and getting more financially sustainable. Rooting for you! I am a lifelong learner, random facts geek, so I am here for whatever you got! 🤗💖
This story fits in to a long format video awesomely. Keep doing both formats and I will continue to watch them all.
You did a great job, Doug! 👍
This was amazing! What a story! I’ve been enjoying your shorts forever but this got me to subscribe. The whole thing was fantastic, but loved the it at the end where you broke character and caught your breath. ❤ I do wish you’d taken a moment to run through the 8 larger pyramids!
I loved the long form content, Doug, but you do what you want to do most!
As a Tennesseeian im happy too see were remembered for Dolly Parton, The Bass Pro Shop and Volunteers!
The long-form content is awesome!!
Nicely done! The long form content seems great for "Fun Facts" with more relevant and interesting background Information. I also like the one take format.
You could limit yourself to 10 takes for something like this and then use the best one. No editing and keeping genuine reactions like "I was supposed to say X or Y" as you did here is very refreshing.
Keep up the good work.
Told you id be back. Holy shit. I bet the whole class cheered when it was your time to read. No stuttering, no trip ups NOTHING. impressive.
I love these long forms. I also love the shorts. Keep mixing it up! Don’t feel bad if you need to make cuts. You can edit where the photos are dropped in. You’re amazing!
Loved this format!
Very impressive how you can tell a story that long without breaks!
Doug. You're doing amazing. We'll be happy so long as you're sharing the neat info, in whatever manner or form fits you, and keep your chin up and your eyes on the future. I personally like the longer videos but as long as you're sated with your product we'll all be here to bask in your eunoia.
Love the new longer version of fun facts!
great video, love the lack of cuts, I wouldn't be fussed if there was a few pauses for you to read the next part and get your breath back.
Refreshing to see a uncut video essay like that!
Brother dont struggle to much
Your stories are captivating you don't have to struggle too much to be compelling
A cut or two is not that bad
I am an advocate of this longer form. I see your shorts all the time and enjoy your content. I love that you are focusing more time here. Great story telling. Marvelous research. Please carry on. (also, I like your shirt). It does take a lot of work and your time was well spent.
I genuinely liked this longer format. Big fan of your videos. The ONE thing I would ask you to think about, you speak very quickly. I am from the south and we just don't talk that fast.
Fascinating stuff!! Great work
Dude I am really proud of the steps you’re taking toward your dream and I want to do what I can to support you through it. I think a lot of improvement will come through doing it more and also getting more comfortable in the long form content and doing what works best for you. Try out things you think will make it easier and make you feel more at ease. You did a great job with this one though and I am excited to see more!
It's so interesting seeing you go from reading a monologue to that ending, loved the long form content and definitely want more
Yeah loved it man, its nice to have a full length video to sit and listen to
Great Job Man! You are one of the best!
The video is great. Try to come up with a modified version which lets you break up your efforts but keeps the longer format. Very enjoyable and informative. Thanks.!
It was very entertaining! Keep up the good work and do not worry about the errors, it only makes it more genuine and fun to watch!
Hey! The Video was really good and kept my attention throughout. Normally, i dont watch videos like this on youtube, but yours felt nice with no distractions. Just straight to the point. I can't believe you did it all in one take! But if it makes it easier, dont be shy to do cuts
As a former Memphian, my dad used to work at the original pyramid stadium back in the 90's before it became the now infamous and iconic bass pro shop we love and hate
I love your shorts content, and I was very happy to see longer form videos with information I am interested in. This video was great man! I really enjoyed it, even if you have a few hiccups during the video it doesn’t take away from the quality. Keep it up!
I think the long form content is fantastic and the single take style it really impressive, and the little imperfections add to it! A awesome topic and I really appreciate and support your monologues. short or long =)
I like the unedited style, but dont stress about specific words so much or worry about repeating something. You did great though, very smooth and well memorized. Good shit. Super glad to see you blowing up and pursuing youtube, its a big inspiration. Keep up the good work brother, youve become one of my new favorites
Thank you!
@DougSharpe thank you for the lovely content! I'm looking forward to seeing more
That was a great video. Thank you for the hard work.
I enjoyed this very much! I agree with others saying you don’t need to do it all in one take, but could instead break it up more so it’s less stress on yourself.
I love the topic you chose as I have driven past it before, but didn’t know the story (I also haven’t visited it but now want to so I can apply your story to my experience.)
Thank you for this!! 💗
I dont know from where you get these stories but i love them. I really like the long form, but only because you are talking fast and understandable. It's not boring, especially when you add some images. I love it! Thanks!
Well done! I like the long form content! Gives us more depth and even more fun facts! Do it how you do it. That’s the reason you’ve got the following you have! Keep it up!
That was amazing and I never would have believed I would be so invested in a Building in Memphis. Thank you!
It was great Doug. And you look fantastic
Fantastic for someone who normally does short form videos
I think you did an amazing job. I like what you did, especially at the end. Love the honesty when you corrected yourself. Your hard work is evident. 😊
Awesome - I really enjoy your content. I like the longer form video, but break it in to pieces - it doesn't have to be in one take!
I love the long form content man you’re doing great keep it up 👍🏻
Like the long form, slower pace is ok as well. Thanks for sharing the amazing story!
I love the longform - I know it sucks to monolog like that but your delivery and style just carries it.
I liked this a lot as I do with your short videos. Both formats are great. I think the break in character on this one was cool. It works.
Great job on the longer format! Especially for amazing stories like these.. I think you did amazing and you did a helluva lot better than I ever could. You got my sub and support Doug!!
Great video! Love your content!
I love this format. Great job!
I really liked how detailed you explained everything.
I liked the long form monologue. Video was great and really informative about something I only had passing knowledge of. Appreciate your content, keep it up!
Loving the longer format, Doug!
I enjoyed this video very much! Don't push yourself too hard. Do what you are comfortable with. Best of luck!
I'm so happy to see your long form content! It's everything I love from the shorts, but with more elaboration. Edit together shorter cuts if it makes it easier for you. That might give you more control over pacing anyway. Great job!
That was pretty good bro! Keep up the good work funfact guy, I thought it was super interesting
Love the long form version of the content, this was a fascinating story
Love the longer content. I feel like I’m more of a weapon at trivia night with all the knowledge you’ve given me
Fun Fact! All your videos are great. Keep them coming! Thanks
Wild that it was one take! Good on you for branching out. I'd say maybe slow the pacing a bit? Sometimes you were so rushed it was hard to understand you and absorb everything. When that happens in a short you can just rewatch, but that's hard with longer vids.
I think however you deliver it, the content is really what hooks me. Great job.
I think the longer format is great and I love it, but if it’s easier to do the shorter videos, we’ll, that’s why I started watching to begin with. Can’t wait to see what comes next!
