Fast Company magazine tracked down and interviewed the Double Rainbow Guy (aka Paul Vasquez) I have been mercilessly laughing at for the last few days, and at first, I was like, "BOOOOOOO!!!" I have exactly zero interest in learning more about the people I openly mock—because usually they turn out to be "all right" and I end up feeling like a dick. AGAIN. However! After reading this, one of the most unintentionally hilarious interviews of all time, I feel awesome. But... WHAT DOES IT MEAN??

Double Rainbow Guy on what it takes to make a video go viral:

"When I first shot it, I was like, Whoa," says the professional cagefighter-turned-nature-lover. "I always knew it had the potential—that it was special—and I was thinking it was going to catch on. I shot a video before called Giant Intense Rainbow that had the capability of going viral, but when I shot this one, I was like, this is even better."

On why he's like Noah:

"People are connecting with it because they feel the spirit in it," he says. "I feel like Noah, because I'm building what seems like an ark here. I have greenhouses, fruit-trees, and I'm working toward alternative energy. It was probably something like the burning bush that Moses experienced."

On what he plans to do with his newfound popularity:

"I've been thinking about this a lot. Last night I went to an Indian sweat and I prayed really hard about this. When I shot the video, I was not high at all, I was not having sex, and I was not hiking, as a lot of people assume. This is my land that I bought in 1988. Wait, what was the question?"

On describing the beauty of the double rainbow AGAIN:

"It started to double! Then it turned into a triple! Then a complete circle, like a complete disc of color! Like a giant eye looking at me! You could feel the rays, like of the sun, but it was rainbow rays!"

God bless ya, ya stupid fucking hippie internet meme. You made my week.
