Half the year is gone, and here you have some of the best videos it has produced. Hello, guys, be welcome to my new post for your curiosity and knowledge. I know you will like them. Step inside.
“Curiosity about life in all of its aspects, I think, is still the secret of great creative people.” – Leo Burnett
It was in early 2006 when I discovered YouTube. Since then this platform has become part of our daily lives. Some use it for watching stupid cat videos and people performing ridiculous dances. Others, like us, use it to learn, to grow and to move on.
I hope your curiosity is in full gear today, and on this post you will find a few things interesting and will learn something new. You will find here a secret exercise old boxers used to practice; the strange transformation of the born male son of a certain Hollywood star; the trailer of a new video game that is just explosive; the best movie trailer I’ve probably seen this year; a cool punk song I haven’t stopped listening to since I discovered in a movie last July; and many more videos you don’t want to miss.
So, let’s begin our journey into curiosity.
12- How Old-School Boxers Trained for 15-Round Wars
In 1919, Jack Dempsey beat a giant man by technical knockout and became the Heavy Weigh World Champion. You may wonder how he accomplished such a feat. Turns out old champions like John L. Sullivan, Rocky Marciano Joe Lewis and Dempsey himself used to train in another sport that gave them enough strength, grip and resistance to beat bigger opponents than them. While modern boxers do pull ups, lift weights or rely on machines to strengthen their bodies, the old school warriors used real resistance; they didn’t train to look strong, they trained to be strong. Find out more about their training secrets in this video.
11- Why you should write a book (even if no one reads it)
Reading and writing are two of the best things anyone can do for themselves. All of us have some story or message inside of us that we’d like to share with the rest of the world. It’s been estimated that more than 80% of people around the world wish they could write a book. Unfortunately, very few people you will meet in your life will actually write that book they’ve always dreamt about. In this video you will get some advice on why you should always write, even if it’s just for yourself.
10- In 2024, drug trafficking generated a gross income of more than $8.2 billion in Venezuela
Since the arrival of the far-left in the Caribbean and oil-rich country of Venezuela in 1999, things have deteriorated drastically. Mass emigration, corruption, hyperinflation, shortages of the most basic products, unemployment, low wages, rampant crime, power cuts, shortage of water, and drug trafficking, are the results of the socialist politics. It has been rumored for years that certain members of the socialist regime are also involved in drug trafficking, and are members of a criminal organization called El cártel de los soles. The kind of money they supposedly perceive for the drug business is insane. Watch it for yourself.
9- Why Fascism and Communism are Two Sides of the Same Coin
There are three monsters that feed on each other and learn from each other, three monsters you have to be aware of and stand against, and those are: Socialism, Fascism and Communism. This short video focus on the last two. On the surface they may look quite different, but they’re just sides of the same coin, and they lead to the same disastrous results. Find out more about it right here.
8- Why SO MANY?
I remember during the so called Covid pandemic that a few celebrity kids were coming out as either homosexuals or trans. Effeminate, dressed like women in a very tacky way, disgusting, they were even encouraged by their parents to do that. The last one seems to be a son of Oscar winner and race mixer Robert De Niro. Turns out De Niro’s father was also a homosexual who left his mother for another man. Find out more about this and other celebrities whose children have been turned into something they’re not in order for their parents to parade them as fashion accessories.
7- Why Is Everything So Ugly? | The War on Beauty Re-Introduction
Since I discovered this channel by this cool girl I try not to miss any of her videos. Since the end of World War II and the rise of the United States as the dominant superpower, every side of the arts have been deteriorated or distorted in the most horrible way. Art is supposed to inspire you and elevate you to your best self. "The artist is the creator of beautiful things," Oscar Wilde said once. But beauty is rarely seen is our modern world. This video will explain to you what has happened to art. Although I don’t agree 100% with everything she says, I recommend you to watch her other videos too and come up with your own conclusions. It is our duty to reject the horrible so called art that has been pushed to us and preserve, and keep producing, the great and beautiful art.
6- Elvis: Hidden Quiet Luxury Revealed | Elvis Week 2025
When most people think of Elvis, they picture him as the caricature he made of himself in the last part of his life, overweight and with that absurd jumpsuit. But the King of Rock was much more than that. He was an interesting and curious man who sought knowledge, revered traditions, was proud of his country, and had a great sense of style. He also loved books, and probably read more than a thousand books in his short but fructiferous life. This video will show you a side of the King you rarely ever see in the media. Watch and learn from him.
5- Renault Car Transformation | 1898–2040 Evolution in 4 Minutes
Renault, the world's best-selling French car brand, started business in 1899. Since its inception it has sold millions of cars every year and has produced iconic models like the Renault 4, the Renault 5, the Clio, and many others known around the world. Watch the cool animation on this video and see how the cars have changed throughout the decades.
4- Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans | American Eagle
Since the last couple of months this short commercial about jeans has stirred controversy, especially among the woke people and the so called liberal left. They say it has to do with a game of words, and that it promotes fascism, you know the typical word you always hear those annoying people saying. I, myself, haven’t seen anything wrong or particularly offensive in this commercial. I remember I discovered this actress in 2023 when I saw her in The Rolling Stones video for that cool song that is Angry. Thanks to this short commercial the company American Eagle has seen its sales soared and has refused to release any apology statements to please the woke people. Anyway, watch the real thing and judge for yourself.
3- 007 First Light – Announcement Trailer
It’s gonna take some time until we have a new James Bond movie, but in the meantime we have to settle with this killer trailer. It was announced this year that Amazon would take control over the Bond franchise from siblings Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson. While a new James Bond actor has yet to be announced, the video game 007 First Light will come out next year and it looks really promising. We see here a young James Bond as a reckless, but resourceful, new recruit. The action starts right away with a car chase, explosions, fighting, beautiful women and exotic locations. It also sheds light on Bond’s origin story. What I like the most here it’s the use of the great music theme from On Her Majesty's Secret Service. I hope the next Bond movie will be as explosive as this trailer.
2- Project Hail Mary – Official Trailer
On July this year, Canadian actor Ryan Gosling appeared at the San Diego Comic-Con dressed as a trucker but wearing, of course, a very expensive Tag Heuer Carrera on his wrist. He was there to promote a sci-fi comedy called Project Hail Mary, which premieres in 2026. This movie is based on a book by the author who also wrote The Martian. It seems to be about a reluctant science teacher who is selected by a US government agency to go to space and try to save the Earth, all alone by himself. I saw the trailer a few weeks ago and I think it’s the best trailer I have seen this year. Don’t miss it.
1- Teddybears – Punkrocker (feat. Iggy Pop) from 'Superman'
Last July I went to see Superman at a local movie theater. And I’m glad that I did; I would have hated myself if I missed that one. I liked it a lot and I agree with the new and more uplifting direction taken by director James Gunn. But the best was the ending where you can hear this cool song. Turns out Punkrocker is song released by a Swedish band called Teddybears in 2006, and features the vocals of non-other than the godfather of punk himself, Iggy Pop. Looks like the Sups is now punk. "Maybe [kindness and trust are] the real punk rock,” Clark Kent says that. You gotta love this one. By the way, if you haven’t seen Superman you must, it’s gonna restore your faith in humanity.
