01:18:28 Share

- Yo, what's up guys and welcome back to the What's Good Podcast. Today we have the legendary Laserbeam, let's go. - I'm excited. You know, this is, I've always, this is the number one Sidemen affiliated podcast I've ever wanted to be a part of. - Let's go. - I guess there's like three of them, so that's. - Yeah, Sidecast, first of all. - Growing Pains. - Yeah, Growing Pains. - Yeah, yeah. - Um, Sidecast. - Josh's old one. - Josh had one? - Yeah, he had one. - Didn't even know. - He was like the first.

He's like one of the first YouTubers to have one. Really? Yeah. Well, I mean, in fairness, I have been on Sidecast. I don't see me fitting in growing pains. Maybe if they start having guests. A bit weird. A bit weird. I know. I could like mediate the two of them. That'd be funny. That'd be nice, actually. No, Ethan's right. Ethan's right. And then just... Do you feel like that'd lead to good clips, right? It would be amazing. That'd be great clips. No, I actually think Ethan's still right on this one, you know? No, I think no matter what, Ethan's right. I've never been on Sidecast, you know?

Really? As a invited guest, yeah. I've been on it twice and both times I was just in the room when they started. So I ran to jump in, you know. Well, people pay for it.

- Cheers. - I know. - Yeah, you gotta keep the quality. - But both side have been blindsided, haven't been performing in those podcasts. - Performing. - Yeah, next time I'll perform well. - What were we talking about? You two were just talking about something. - Depression? - No. - We did speak about depression. - Oh no, so I was saying, I only watch Simon videos when I'm in them. - Yes. - And you said you only skipped to the parts where you're in. - Yes, yes.

I scroll through the comments, wait for someone to put a timestamp of Randy and I just go click that one. Cause like we did the calorie challenge last year. Yeah. Why do I give a fuck about you guys eating? I don't even know where you were. Whatever fucking food you were eating. If you'd watched, you would have found out. Exactly. That's what I'm saying. Like my life has not been...

negatively affected not knowing where you went but you watched your part 100% I do the exact opposite you're trying to skew yourself well because it's interesting because like it's very different to any videos I've done so yeah I know how it's recorded I like to see how it comes together yeah I watched like the fishing video we did I wanted to see how that came out because obviously everyone's like this is shit I want to see how it actually happened the ones where it's just you know

- If there was three teams that like the Calloway challenge, I would have watched it and skipped our team. - No, no. - It's just 'cause you know what happens or you cringe when you look at yourself. - Cringe. - I can understand that with you specifically. - Yeah, that's fine. - I enjoy watching like how funny I was in the video. I'm the one commenting like that. - You actually think you're gas though, innit? - Yeah, yeah. - You might be worse than Calyx. - What, my confidence? - Yeah. - No, I have no confidence. - Calyx has confidence?

- I don't know. - He has that weird like impossible, he has confidence when something's impossible, which is actually really good. - I mean, that is good, right? - Yeah, so he thinks he's really good and he's really cool. - Well, he is. - I love Kellogg's, I really do. - It's crazy though, 'cause he's deluded. He's actually a piece of shit, ugly. - No, I do love him, but it's just like, for example,

- I mean, a very quick example is we went and played golf in Portugal and he was like, he said he was better than Randy and Randy was like, there's no way. So he bet him a thousand pounds and Randy won. - Damn. - Quite easily as well. - And we played the other day and that time we went and he was playing behind us. I walked in and he said, should we bet again? And I was like, yeah. He said, how about 500 this time? And I was like, nah, let's just go say it again. 'Cause I've got his money still in my account. I've got nothing to lose. He was like, nah, let's just enjoy the day today. And I would have beat him again. - At least he learns his lessons. That's good. - Yeah. - For now.

He's like, he loves gambling as well. Wow, you enjoy gambling, don't you? I mean, I've enjoyed losing recently. Prior to that, I always hated gambling. Yeah, okay. But I've been pulled into casinos recently. Okay, okay. You're not part of like... So the one thing I've always realized about Vic's friends is like, you know how like we're friends, but...

It's through Vic. Yes. He's like the common interest. Yes. In a weird way. That sounded weird. That sounded very weird. But... Always on top of my mind. Everyone that is friends...

like that side is so addicted to gambling. They're fucking degenerate. No, no, no. Being around them very recently, I have been going, I've like, you know, played black, I have gambled and I don't get it. All I've done is lose money. I don't understand what's the addiction. Well, I remember on the stag do, we were playing poker and the buy-in was like 500 pounds or whatever.

Then everyone lost and it was just three of us left, me, Lux and JJ. And we were being very serious to try and win this money. Meanwhile, on the other table is the rest of the guys just gambling for like, I don't know, 15K plus. They're having more fun than we're having. Well, they do the buy-in or whatever, but then they also like forget poker. They just sit there and play like OG sun together. Yeah. For thousands at a time. What is that?

It's like a Crocodile Dentist style. Yes, kind of. It'd be too cumbersome to explain the whole thing now. Ten faces, one sets it off. It's a stupid little phone game that's technically 50-50 and I'll just sit there for hours. It was in a Sidemen video once. If you had to watch the Berlin part. Yeah.

You didn't watch that? No, I did actually. I didn't know what you said. I knew what the game was. Oh, yes. OG Sun. They've done some where they just go like, someone will lose a thousand pounds. They'll go, okay, thousand pounds. High card wins. Let's just pick a card. Yeah, it's so stupid. It's so stupid. You've lost a thousand pounds in two seconds.

And they'll be broke one day and that's fine. I'm not bailing them out. I feel like the money just cycles around them though. So they're probably not lost or gaining anything. It's just been short shit around. I don't think they ever actually pay each other either. I think it's just like, I think they should, but by the time it comes to pay the other ones, flip back over. They said they do at the end of holidays.

That was the thing was like, we don't pay until the end of the holiday and then one of us will be 5K up. - Okay. - So they do get with each other but they also gamble with casinos. Like they will go broke. And I'm just calling it now. One day it'll be like, you know after they were famous Lachlan Power fucking sucking dick or something for money. - Are they addicted? I don't think they're addicted. I think they just like enjoy having fun, right? - No, they're addicted. They have addiction issues. - Cool, cool, cool. - Like in a fun way, in a fun that like technically now they can afford it kind of way.

Hey, in gaming news, I heard that OnlyUp got deleted. They took it down. Yeah, they did. Apparently, the guy was using stolen assets. Mad. I mean, he got his bag. Just run away. Were you not getting sued? I didn't read the article. You heard it was deleted, though, so that's all that matters. You read so many headlines, bring them up, and I go, oh, tell me more. And you go, I don't know. I got no extreme information. But it reminds me of, what was the game back in the day? Flappy Bird.

- Well, he just got depressed, right? - Yeah, something like he had like felt like the pressure or something of, is that making too much money? - Yeah, no, genuinely. He was, I can't remember. - Yeah, he got overwhelmed by it. - Well, the Flappy Bird guy. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - It's like, fuck man, it's just too much money coming in. - Same here about only up, it says. - To stress. That's probably stress of, oh, I probably should read articles to be fair. - It's due to stress.

Oh my God. You know what's interesting about that is I'm sure the only up game made a ton of money, right? But it was paid. I don't know how much it cost, but you know, the fact that it was paid. I almost can guarantee the Fortnite version made more money. Yeah, yeah, probably. Like without almost a doubt in my mind. And the way Fortnite works right now, isn't it like the people who make the map get a share of that? Yes. So 40% of all money Fortnite earns goes to people making creative maps now.

so which is like jesus so much fucking money yeah and you know that was the biggest game had like multi hundred thousand concurrent players at any given time there's no real exact stat but you could imagine they're making like four or five million a month yeah and i heard like very if not more potentially and i had like 15 year olds are making that as well just like 16 year old kid made a map and just getting like oh yeah no i definitely a lot of people a lot of people make a lot of money i was just trick shot on rust

And now these guys are like me. No, but I reckon... I just don't think you were though. No, I was trying to. Yeah, he was trying. I was trying. No, no, I'm saying that me and my mates just, you know, attempted to. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I reckon the equivalent of 1v1ing on Rust is now actually making a Fortnite creative map and making five in a month.

But I mean, it's like good business for Fortnite though. They don't have to actually make any fucking games. It's the same as Roblox is like the biggest game in the world. It peaks at 10 million concurrent players and they don't make any of the games themselves. They don't even make the assets themselves. That's smart.

- I think my favorite videos of yours are the Roblox ones. - Yes, bullying kids. - Yeah, yeah. - To be fair, they deserve it. - They do actually, they do. - You have a Fortnite map? - I do, I do. - The one with MrBeast twerking. - Yeah, he twerks. He twerks. I'm also in it. There's a prime ball that spins around. - I played it. - Well, thank you. It's a bit scuffed, but you know. - Yeah, I played it and I just got bullied by kids. - Skill issue, man. Skill issue. - Well, I thought you load in, right? You grab the guns, you jump down, you start shooting the boss.

And then people just jump on you. Well, it's also a free-for-all. So you gotta kill the bosses to get the... I mean, look, I haven't updated in like two months. So it's like probably already dead. But yeah, you sort of kill the boss. You get more powers and you can bully the kids. Okay.

- Did not know about the powers. - No, you can fly and shit. - Oh, okay. - Yeah. - That's in Fortnite. - Yeah. - 'Cause that's what you do in Roblox, right? - Well, so that's where it's good now that Fortnite is kind of interesting again for me 'cause it's like, it's kind of more like Roblox where, you know, I can't spend money, there's no pay to win, but I can just message people I know who have made these maps and they just let me bully kids. - That's even more pay to win. - So it's the same thing, I just put that in the map. - Yeah, nice. - And look, I haven't got the revenue numbers. I don't think it's five mil a month just for MrBeast twerking, but it was probably like something.

- Yeah, it's probably, yeah. Well, MrBeast might be twerking tomorrow. - Oh, he, I hope he is. - Oh, so for the purpose of those watching, when we're recording this, tomorrow is the Simon match. - Yes. - How you feeling? - Oh, you know. - You got a lot of pressure. - Yeah, tons of pressure. Haven't practiced, haven't ran in about eight months. Kicked the ball recently for working out. - You do. - Yeah. - When was that? - About a month ago. - Was it at the Stag Zoo?

- Oh no, twice, twice. I've kicked the ball twice this year. - 'Cause I've played football once in between the last charity match. - And it was the stag day. - Yeah, no, I've kicked the ball twice since the last charity match then. - That's almost as many times as you touched the ball last year. - Yeah, I think it was three times. I haven't gone back to count. That I did not watch. That I did not wanna fucking see. But yeah, no, I just don't care. Last year I was very stressed. Anytime I do something for the first time, I get very nervous.

But now I've done it. I know no one gives a fuck what I'm doing. Speed's there. Kai's there. They're just watching them. Yeah, true. Me and Toby were talking about how the fact that Kai's playing this year. How many mainstream American celebrities do you think are going to watch it?

or at least like check it out. - Do you think Drake does? - You think Drake's gonna watch the- - 'Cause of Kai, he might go like, "Oh, where's that? Oh, that's cool." - I mean, they might see clips later. I don't know if they're- - Yeah, I think more likely it's clips. I mean, even though Kai's doing really well, I don't think Drake has him on his mind. - Maybe. - I don't know. - I don't know. - Drake's a friendly guy. - Yeah, but what, you're just chilling in his house and he's like, "Oh, I wonder what Kai's up to." - You can bet on the game as well?

- Do you have like a gambling sponsor you're about to announce or something? - No, but I'm saying, on which website? - Oh, okay, fair. - If I bet, am I gonna get like arrested like Tony? - Yeah, probably. - Oh, wow. - Oh, I was gonna say, damn, I could just like, you know, put a bet on a Lazebeam red card and just go snap Danny Aarons in half. - Would that be illegal for our game? - There's not those kinds of bets. I think you can only bet on a certain amount of goals and which team to win. - Okay, fair. - Okay, fair. 'Cause so I can't, I probably still will just go rugby tackle Danny Aarons at some point. - He keeps telling me he's gonna do that to me.

He's such a shit cunt, man. He's such a fucking shitter. I think this year is going to be more funny than last year, if that makes sense. I'm looking at the lineups. It just looks more like, it looks less serious and more enjoyable, if that makes any sense. Yeah. I don't know why. Last year was so like fucking, it was so back and forth. It was so peak though. I mean, look, maybe everyone watching this will know him

In for an absolute stinker. And just like, I don't know, speed was man of the moment last year, man. He just took. If he scores this year, like an actual goal, not offside, best moment ever. Well, also he'll be scoring against JJ too. So that'll make it even better. True.

- Yeah. - Are you nervous right now? Like right now? - Yeah. - Okay, cool, cool. - Well, yeah, that wasn't until you asked. - Yeah, do you get, because I mean, obviously you clapped cheek last year. - Everyone texts me going, "Oh, minimum hat trick." And I'm like, "Well, that's not a normal thing." - Yeah, I saw the stats earlier. It was three goals, three assists, man. Like, you're a weapon. - It's not happening again. - Good. - So hold on, hold on. Three goals, three assists last year. How about the year before that? - I don't remember assists, but I got three goals. - What, the year before that was, you lost? - We lost two nil. - In the first game? - Dead game.

- Two nil. - One was halfway in the first game. - So you've got a hat trick in every game you've won. - Yeah. - And how many games have you thrown up before? - Two.

The other one I had diarrhea. Fuck, man. Threw up from the butt. That counts. That would be rough to happen on the pitch. I feel like vomit's fine, but if you start shitting your pants. Yeah, it wasn't like, oh, I'm going to poo myself on the pitch. It was just like, my stomach is... Because, I mean, two days ago when I had food poisoning, I thought I would have been shitting on the pitch. Oh, no. And that was rough. You know when you're like, a little graphic, but like,

Yeah. Your diary is so bad. It sounds like you're pissing out of your ass. Yeah. Yeah. So bad. Yeah. So bad. Do you think someone's career would drastically change as they shit themselves on the pitch? I think it'd go up. Depends how they handle it. Well, Paul Gascoigne shit himself on the pitch. Yeah, but different. Was it Paul Gascoigne or was it Gary Lineker? Are we talking content careers or like football players? I'm talking at the match tomorrow. Oh, I reckon if they own it. Yeah. Oh,

Anything that gets, okay, all clips are good clips. It just depends how you handle it. It depends on who it is, I think. Because if it's someone like Speed that is just like, he takes himself completely as a joke, 100%. Okay, so if Max Force shits himself. Actually, he'd be all right. Chris MD shits himself. That's a fair play. Doesn't propel his career. No. I don't think he can step on a football pitch again. No, Chris MD can. Philly. Philly.

- Oh. - Philly. - Yeah, someone who's like seen as kind of cool. - Yeah, he's very cool. - Philly's cool, he's funny, but he's cool. Like I'm a loser, so it's fine. - Yeah, not that Chris is not cool either. He's all right. - Nah, he loves "The Hobbit". - He does. - What? It's not a bad film, is it? - It's not bad, but like he's obsessed with "The Hobbit". - Is he obsessed? - Yeah, he knows Elfish. - Is that a joke? - No. - What is Elfish? Like some sort of language? - I think so. - Okay. - You've never seen "Lord of the Rings"?

- You strike me as someone that doesn't watch movies. - I don't watch many movies. - Yeah, like Harry, man. You guys should be stupid. - You're one for two in just saying I strike you as a certain kind of guy today. - But when I said caffeine, I meant more like energy drinks. - Yeah. - You don't drink energy drinks. - What did you say? - I don't drink energy drinks. - He strikes me as someone that doesn't drink energy drinks. Why is it caffeine? - I don't. I used to during peak grind where I was sleeping two hours a night. - Yeah, well then you have to. - Yeah. - I thought you were back in a revel or something saying that. - No, not after 2:00 PM.

That's smart. That's why it's 3 p.m. Is it? Yeah, but yeah, some people say it's like 12 hours before bed Yeah, half-life of what right the half-life of caffeine anywhere from 8 to 12, but 12s to be safe. Yeah. Yeah I've been struggling to sleep recently. Here we go. But last night I had a seven hour sleep but woke up really like More tired than the day before you still doing 75 hard 75. What you said 74. Yeah

Did I? VAR this, I thought you said 74. No, I'm doing 75 hard, so there's this challenge. Have you heard of this? I've seen clips or Instagram stories. Freezy's now taken it as his own thing, apparently. Freezy's the one I've seen doing it. He's owned the challenge now. It's just a normal challenge. You just put his name in front of it.

- Oh, so it made it slightly easier. - Well, let me ask you the rules here, okay? - Okay. - Because freezes-- - The freezes or the actual one? - No, no, well, no, no, no. I might ask you about my performance. - Okay. - Let me know if I've read the rules or not. - Okay. - Okay? So I went to play golf the other day, 5:30 in the morning. - Yeah. - Yeah, 5:30 in the morning, that checks out. Played golf for like six hours or something. - Okay. - My Woot band was more calories burned than like any other day on 75 hard. - Okay. - We took a break in the middle to have a drink, it was so hot.

Okay. Yeah. So, we were going. And then continued the rest of the day. Got to my hotel room. I had one hour sleep. I got into my bed. Had food and stuff. And I was like, I need to do the workout. I don't have anything else. And I was like, you know what? I'm not going to do it because I've done more calories than the day before. My strain's higher. Everything's as I should be in the day. I don't need to do the second one. So, I just didn't do it. Woke up in the morning and Freeze was like, did you do your workout? I just said no. So, I wasn't trying to cheat here. But then we get onto the golf course the second day. And this day we have no golf carts. We're walking. I played golf again the day after.

This time, 4,000 calories burned that day. And my whoops got like eight golf workouts detected because we were walking and it was slow. So we were walking and stopping, walking, stopping. 11 kilometers walked, 4,000 calories burned, like 16 strain more than any other day. I was like, why is this not just two workouts, right? If I went for a walk in the morning, if I went for a walk in the morning for 11 minutes,

Waited for the rest of the day. Went for another walk 45 minutes in the evening. That's two workouts in a day, according to the challenge. - But the golf was way better. - Yeah, my calories are like 1000. I have done way more than with golf. - So you know the rule is two 45 minute exercise sessions. One has to be outdoors. They can both be outdoors, but one has to be. Has he done two exercise sessions? If he played golf for six hours. - I mean, unless there's some advantage to like doing them at opposite ends of the day, I think it'd count. - How long was the drink break?

Like five minutes ten minutes, which one let's see five ten. Okay, thank you. Thank you. Just drink and then I can't always end Yeah, I just don't like six hours a day the goals to be healthy, right? That's why we walk up a six fucking hours And I just say when I start a challenge if like I found doing like if I'm just doing my cuz I've been working out and losing weight anyway So I was like if I was long I'm doing my main thing. I'm fine and happy with it But if I felt the challenge, I'd actually care. I'm still gonna continue but

- Yeah, that's mental. - Yeah, it has to be kilojoules though. There's no way that's fucking calories. - No, not burn during the exercise, but throughout the whole day. So you know how you're like this track's like- - I mean, if your body's like, if that counts your body's natural burning, but 4,000 would be fucked.

That'd be crazy. - It was an awful day. It was very hot. We were walking a lot. So yesterday, yeah, 4,000 calories. And today so far has been- - That has to include your daily metabolism. - It does, it does. - Okay, okay. - I didn't burn 4,000 just working out. No way. - You must eat like 8,000 calories a day to keep up with that. - No, but yeah. And then I had 5%. It's been a tough week. - And what book are you reading? - I'm reading a book called "The Obstacle is the Way" by Matt Holliday, I think.

- Actually. - Are you carrying it around with you? - No. Oh my God. - You know I'm like 20 pages into, you've read it, "Atomic Habits." - Yes. - 20 pages in? - Yes, good book. - I had one session reading it. - Oh, okay. - And then he laughed at me. So I haven't read it anymore. - Why'd you laugh at him? - No, no, no. I didn't laugh at him for reading a book. He walked into the studio carrying a book and I was like, why'd you carry that book around? Do you not have a bag to put it in or something? He's like, nah. I was like, you've been walking around on the tube and the train all day just carrying a book. I was like, that's really weird.

- What is this high school, you bully? - I haven't brought it anywhere. - Stop improving your intelligence, you dickhead. - The way I am is I just, you know, just a light joke. I didn't even mean it, actually. I didn't mean it. - You went on, you're like, bro, it's so fucking weird. - It's not actually weird. It's like a little minuscule weird thing, but I don't know who, like why carry it? - I mean, definitely you should have a bag. I don't know why you would have a bag, but like, I'm not gonna go up to someone and be like, you're a fucking nerd, kill yourself.

- Why would I have a bag? I literally had. - Put the book in. - That's it, that's all I had. - Phone, keys. - No, my phone was here. I don't carry keys. And I had my wallet here. - How do you carry keys? - I have one. - House unlocked? - Yeah. - Fair enough. - No, I told you. - I heard you have a really nice house.

- No, Lachlan just said your house was sick. - Have you been around? - I haven't, no. - Oh, you should invite him around. - He's welcome anytime. - Anytime? - Yeah. - 2:00 AM in the morning? - Yeah, I know you won't be awake. - Yeah, fuck yeah. - John was asking, am I reading it or listening to it? And I'm reading it on my phone, but I'm reading it. - Okay. - Nah, you gotta, yeah. - Now, you know what I've learned, right? On the iPhone, you can change the way the book works. So instead of going across pages, you just scroll down and I ended up reading way more.

I just don't like staring at my phone. I do that enough. What's it called? Like the night mode. Then you put sepia on the book and it looks really nice.

Just read the book. It gives you some different feeling, actually. Here's my argument. This looks like a long text. I hear about a book online and I'm like, oh, I want that book right now. Start reading it right now. I mean, there's fairness to that, but I mean, you also can get it in like a couple of days. I tend to have like, not that I've been reading too much lately, but like, I did read six books. I've read like three.

No, I sort of have like a backlog that I want to read. I've just ordered all of them. They're just all sitting there. So like whenever I do want to get to the next one. Yeah. Well, the book's good. It's about, you know, any obstacle you should turn into a positive thing. It's not a bad thing. It's just the way you look at it. So change your perspective and then like, you know, tackle it. That's healthy. Yeah. Actually, it's been helping me a little bit. You know what else helps? Atomic habits. Yes. How would you know? True.

I feel like you can learn something there. You can learn something in the first 20 pages. That's fine. No, it's just him telling a story. It's before he gets to the habits. I don't remember. He gives his background on himself. Yeah. He said, I was pretty sick, bro. I played high school baseball or some shit. Yeah, you were bad, dude. So definitely read a 100-page book on everything he has to say. Yeah. 100 pages? Oh. No, I can't remember. Okay, okay. You're going to laugh at me. I read the book, but I don't really remember the book. I just, you know, it's like...

- Yeah. - So this challenge, I was like, I had traveled to London, it was like three hours. I got here 8:00 PM. You know after the podcast, I haven't told you this yet. I got to my hotel room and I hadn't done anything yet. So I went for a walk, then went to the gym, did Peloton, then had all the water and read. And I just had one hour sleep. I was like, I left the- - Three and a half liters. - Yes. I got up like eight times a piece and I couldn't sleep all night. I was buzzing from the workout. I was like, this is actually not, this- - You're not supposed to drink water six hours before bed.

- Three and a half liters as well. - You spent to drink it all in the first like 10 hours of your day. - That's why traveling is hard man. Traveling just makes it really impossible. But I'm, you know, I'm- - Yeah, you live in three hours away, it's crazy. - It's awful. - I didn't wanna say it. Speak your truth, man. Say everything you were saying before the camera started. - No, yeah, yeah. No, well, talking about depression. - Oh. - How's yours?

I don't have it. It's a state of mind. I choose to be sad. Yeah, there you go. They'll split it away. That's what I'm saying, man. Well, it's just like, you know, I choose to be stressed about like work-related things or something like that. I could always just go live on a farm. That'd be fun. But do you get like with that concept of like just having fun, do you get, do you feel, if you're not working, do you feel guilty for not working? Currently, yeah. But if I just, if I got so sick of it, that it was actually bad, I just, so that's where I would never call like,

I'll never actually say I'm sad or something like that. But like, yeah. Because it's just definitely a choice. Yeah, no, yeah, yeah. I want number to go up. Trying to figure out what is the problem and there's no problem. I mean, there is problems. You could have like a week to live like that. There is things that's like, how do you make that positive? You said to me right now, you got a week, bro. That's positive. It could be one day.

There you go, actually. There you go. I'd still be pissed. I don't care. But he is the biggest pessimist ever. Oh, 100%. Yeah. I'd be fucking mad, man. But he's really successful because he's a pessimist. Because he's like, I'm going to fail tomorrow. He's like, my money might run out tomorrow. So he keeps working really hard. Thanks. See, I think that's good. I think that's the addiction, right? Because I would say it's the same. Just because I know I can just go live on a farm.

it's still the same thing. It's like, I'm stressing that every minor detail about everything I'm doing. Like it was far as work. Cause I'm always like, fuck, I haven't done something in the last, like, you know, for me, it's like, I don't know. It's like the last like three months I haven't done anything. So I'm like, oh fuck everything I've ever done in my career is meaningless.

So it's very easy to get stuck in there. - If you're gonna do that and like stop, you keep saying farm, would you actually go live on a farm? - Oh, 100%. There's Starlink and shit now, man. I just go buy a farm, like maybe Kangaroo Valley, South of Sydney, beautiful hills and everything like that. Give me a hundred acres, man. Nice little cabin. You don't want too big, you want cozy. - Having a farm, is that a real place, Kangaroo Valley? - Yeah. - Just as mad. - That's what it was like, it sounds like a meme. - Isn't there like asshole in there as well in Australia? I suppose like some place called Asshole.

- It's not really the same as Kangaroo Valley. - Probably. - I'm saying because Asshole exists and Kangaroo Valley will definitely exist. - How? - No, no, I honestly see the connection. - Yeah, like Spider Alley could also probably be a place in Australia. Google that, Spider Alley. - I mean, maybe. - Spider Alley Australia. - Nah, it's just sick mountain ranges though. - I feel like- - But the thing, you would get so bored. You need purpose in life and that's the issue. It's like, I'm too young to stop trying to do shit. - Having a farm in Australia,

- I am rather wealthy and white, so I should probably be playing golf. - Oh my God. - Yeah, that's a good point. - I mean, honestly, I mean, what else is there to do? - Well, on this farm, in Australia, I feel like having a farm is a very scary thing 'cause- - No spider alley. - Why would you be scared? - But you could also Google- - We've got a spider alley. - Google kangaroo valley. I just wanna show you how beautiful it is. I wanna see if the first image is like beautiful. - So this is where the farm is.

Oh, it does look nice. It's like cute little mountain towns and shit. It's only like two hours from the city. So you want to go do like, you want to fly? Only two hours from the city. But then, so he's complaining about that.

Yeah, but I'm not doing it while I'm working in an office. By the way, I will say... Oh, it's beautiful. If I didn't work in London, I would really enjoy where I live. It's not the place. It's just the... What's the place you're called? So I live... It's called Nottingham. Oh, that's... What's his name? Robin Hood, wasn't it? Yeah, yeah. He's our hero. Hell yeah. How do you know that?

- The film. He's like a Disney character. - I can guarantee you. - And Russell Crowe was Robin Hood as well. - He was, yeah, there you go. He's a guy who watched films apparently. - Does it annoy you that Nottingham Forest are in the prem and Leeds aren't? - Leeds aren't? This guy got knowledge, man, let's go. - No. - And there's honestly a chance that Leeds go down again. - No way. - You don't reckon? - There's more of a chance of them coming down. - I don't see it. - Right now we're on reel. No, I was gonna say that I actually am not from Nottingham.

So you're bandwagoning. I always say that, yeah. So I was born in Nottinghamshire. I live about 20 minutes away, but I'm a Forrest fan and I rival the Derby, Derby County. So I can never say I'm from Derbyshire, which is where I live because I'm a Forrest fan. So I just lie to people. And then it gets bad on tour. We went to Nottingham and then they were like, Sir Randy, what's the best place to go out in Nottingham? I'm like...

Kangaroo Valley, are there kangaroos there? Kangaroos everywhere. So that's what I'm trying to say. So if you're on a farm, won't the kangaroos just come fuck up the animals? Not really, no. What do you think kangaroos do? I've seen that video where it's like knocking on the window. Oh, I've seen that video. I haven't seen that video, but I can imagine it. I can imagine it.

Nah, look, they're all right. I mean, maybe they go kick baby lambs or some shit. That's awful. I don't think they do. That's so funny. But you could fuck that up. You could go out there and punch the shit out of that kangaroo. They're not actually a dangerous animal. Are they not? No. They eat a lot of crops though, right? They're considered pests. In certain farms, they are considered. We had a farm when I was growing up. They're considered pests. So you have to shoot them every now and then. That's unlucky. But only certain people are allowed to. You think you could be that? Fuck.

Yeah. Look at his chest. Bro, it's his active. His headbutt in the glass. They're mostly like, in my experience being on a farm as a kid, they're mostly like chill. They're fine. What is a kangaroo though? Like, marsupial. What are you, dude? Yeah, but like, those are giraffes. What?

Okay, I don't know what you ate before getting on this podcast. What is like... Why do fingers fing, man? Why is skin... Skin. Yeah, so you'd be hitting him in your car or something.

and just get a bull bar. - Google. - A bull bar, it's just a big bar that goes on the front of your car and you smack 'em. - A bull bar. - Have you seen the kangaroo headlock with the dog? - Yeah, yeah, yeah. The dog attacks the man. A kangaroo attacks the dog? Yeah, and then the man starts punching it. So you're saying you couldn't take that. That's like taking on a 14 year old. - He just got punched in the face and he's still standing there like, "What?" - But he stopped though.

- I think it was more of just a shock. - He just pat the dog, man. - Google giraffe born without spots. - I've seen this. - Yeah, and look how weird this thing looks. When you take away the spots, it looks like a weird freak. It looks gross. - Okay, shaming. That's a little messed up. - Now, there are a few animals that exist that are just like, you think, how did that happen? Like dogs I get. Look at that thing, man. - That doesn't even look that weird. That still looks like a giraffe. - I wanna see its legs.

Look at that! That's so strange! It's a little strange, but I don't think it's that weird. It's like a pony or a horse squished together and then a long neck. Well, no, because isn't it like every giraffe has different spots or something? So isn't that just like a one in a billion RNG rare Pokemon kind of thing? Yeah, yeah. Shiny Pokemon. There's regions in Africa and there's certain colonies of them. Oh, that's probably it. So you can tell by which region. Okay. You would know that.

See, I'm no David Attenborough. I don't know. He has weird knowledge. Yeah. I know. He's told me things before. We've been places together, you and I. We've done stuff. German sex clubs. We're both shirtless. Very close to each other. We watched other people have sex together. We did. Did you not get, like, you know...

- I was intrigued by that and wanted to- - See, this is why I watched my part of that Berlin video, not yours. - I was in that one. No, but John, you know, Con actually thinks I dislike, the other day I was talking to him, he's like, "I know you don't like John." I was like, "Nah, I'm just joking." Con thought I literally don't like him. - You tell me off camera you don't like him. - Anyway- - Speaking of the Sidemen, you were out of segue. - Yeah, I was gonna say- - Sorry, I don't know where the fuck you are. - Oh, I was gonna say, speaking of Sidemen videos. - Yeah.

- Is there any video you've been in that you've been like, what the fuck was this? - More Simon every episode. - What? - More Simon every episode. - Oh, apart from Among Us. - Like, oh, Among Us is a whole different thing. - They're great. - You ever know someone that you wish was like,

Had like drowned as a child. Because he looks like the kind of kid that could have. So I kind of like wish he did. We're respectfully like he seems relatively nice, but like fuck me. He's like the person I think is not intentionally, but unintentionally perhaps a danger to society. He is a danger. Could accidentally like

hurt someone we filmed it today and he somehow got onto a go-kart i can say that right an atv yeah quad bike yeah and like we're just filming and he's just driving around the studio and like everyone's like trying to laugh at the video and like also trying to think like is this guy gonna kill it yeah can we can we carry on with the video can you park up his energy that day was crazy he

- He actually did that? - Yeah. Like a giant light with a tripod thing at the bottom. He literally drives through the middle and gets stuck. Broke a light as well, didn't he? - Funny guy though. Funny guy. - Yeah. - He is a funny guy. - He gives me a headache. Yeah, outside of Among Us, shit. Like what? That was a stinker that I was in? Or bad or good?

Is there any that stood out? Because the abandon the desert one, we talked about this recently. Yeah. That was not mine. It was just like abandon the desert, but you're there for five minutes, drive some buggies, and then all of a sudden you're magically in Dubai. The whole time I'm like, why don't we just like actually abandon the desert? Yeah. I agree with that. It's not fair because obviously you guys do a very different type of content, but like, you know, what would Jesus do? What would Jimmy do? Yeah. Obviously he's different, but like you can still just like,

I see that title and thumbnail, like what would the audience expect to see when they click on that? And I'm like, they want to see you fucking suffer in the desert. And I was like, you know, I'm a guest here. I ain't getting paid for this, but still I just, I like content. So I'm like, I'm expecting to suffer on this shit. You did do Abandoned in the Sea with MrBeast, right? Yes. And that, comparing the Simon one to that. Oh, so funny. You actually did, you know, Abandoned. Fucking so funny.

I was like, if this is Sidemen video, bro, they're getting like five-star meals flown in. They're going to hotels overnight. They're not even here for more than 24 hours. It's maybe 12 hours. And then Harry's like, oh, I've got to go live, man. I've got to go live. I've got surfing tomorrow or something like that. He's got to go.

Respect, obviously you do a very different type. It was very funny, very successful. But I wanted to be like, actually, I was like ready, psyching myself up to suffer. I mean, we were, our idea of it was, we weren't expecting to be there for 20 minutes. We thought it would be like, we knew we'd end up in the city, but we thought it would be like being the- A little bit more of a journey to it. Also, we didn't expect to be able to see you.

- Well, I didn't see anyone else, but apparently you guys saw each other. - We walked up probably a six foot hill and we went, oh, there's the other team. - Is this a spoiling behind the scenes? - No, I think it's a video. - I think we literally did like- - 'Cause I mean, we got dropped off by the car. It was very cool being like full blacked out in the car. I was like, this is gonna be sick. - For no point. - Hopped out, it's like, all right, so just walk around in circles a little bit, like just in this one little area, make a sand castle.

Use your metal detector. See if you can find something. Ha ha. And then, oh yeah, just walk 10 meters that way. There's some buggies driving for five minutes and then, okay, we're going to take you to the city. Yeah, that's jokes. I don't know. It was still like many funny parts of it. We got scammed in a little bit, but that's fine. But yeah, no, that was kind of a stinker. Well, I think you watched the sidemans who watched like the interaction of the guys chatting, the banter, whereas like, you know, Mr. V should watch to watch the actual. Oh yeah. It's less of a personality thing for sure. Yeah. But yeah,

And also MrBeast has now said on Twitter publicly that now you're supposed to shoot your mouth on thumbnails. You see that one? Yes.

It also makes me realize I don't save any thumbnail assets, video assets or anything. So once the video goes up, it's all deleted. So I can't change shit. - Can you just download your thumbnail and do AI? - I mean, you probably could. - I close my mouth on this. - I saw AJ3 try to do that and the AI still hung out more. It has to close it and it doesn't do that. - Do you care enough to do that? - No, I don't do that. - And also I think this,

this like thumbnail comparison tool now is going to work for some but not others. It depends on your audience. It'll be just another tool where if you use it well, it'll work great. If you don't use it well, no one will give a shit. Like, I don't know. Like it's the same as language dubbing. If you can use that well, you can five times your audience. Yeah. Yeah. Like I would say half of MrBeast's audience is probably foreign languages. Yeah. And,

He doesn't have to do anything for that, but he still utilizes very well. His content, like you said, it's very visual. You can watch that on mute and not even, and still get the video. Yeah. That's why all these Twitter, like threads that are going around in a minute. It's like annoying. Cause the key compare Mr. Beast, like, like you or whatever, not you, but like one's content. Yeah. People who upload. Yeah. But I'm like, this guy's like chugging a Lamborghini into a shredder. Like that, obviously the video is going to do well. Oh, I can't tell. My videos are the worst thing to ever happen. And cause the Twitter for you page now just,

whether you like it or not you're on your Twitter for you page I keep trying to go back to my phone but you're back on the for you page you're gonna get videos of people fighting you're gonna get right wing propaganda probably and you're gonna have fucking YouTube gurus just spouting bullshit for likes like Mr Beast look at how he uses colours in his thumbnail it's like wow it's bright and vibrant it's a fucking gold yacht

It's not like a mystery. - And you read it, you wanna see how stupid it is, but then that's gonna lock you in. - What's their credentials? There is none. - I know. And also the worst part is I know that, you know, this is not talking about you guys, but YouTube teams now are gonna grow and you're gonna hire someone whose then job it is to go hire someone else. And they're gonna believe these like- - Fire them immediately if they do. - Yeah, I know. - Anyone with any sort of logical like,

like thought or like we can see that it's all bullshit. Like the credentials that I built a five figure YouTube business. I'm like, so what? - You can make any amount of money. It's not, I mean, five figures is a matter. - 10 grand is like a lot of money, but not for a YouTube business. - Yeah, that's just a job. - Yeah. - Sorry, for those who aren't earning any money.

I don't know why I said that. Well, a 10 grand is nice if you just get it for free, but it's not like, if someone's like, oh wow, I built a five-figure healthcare business. You're like, what do you mean? What does that mean? True, true. I'm not going to go, okay, sure, treat my diseases, you know? Yeah. So let's say Abandoned in Desert is your least impressive video. What's your favorite? Is the Berlin one your favorite? I think it was really good. I don't know what my favorite one. What have I been in?

I don't really remember. I feel like, unfortunately, I get bad luck every time I'm in a Sidemen video for some reason. We kind of go, the video stinks, we need a guest. Fair. And look, I'm always happy to do anything. I don't really mind. I've been in so many Sidemen videos, I've never been in one that's in the top 50 most videos. I was in the Mr. Beast one, which was meant to be good, which I thought was a fine video, but everyone was like, this ain't the Sidemen. I'm like, have one day off. I don't want to attack the Sidemen fans, but it's like, so many YouTubers make

so many different types of videos that, so what if you make a different type of video one week? - Yeah, it's fine. - It's not the end of the world. - Yeah, but then if we make the same type of video, they can play and they go run out of ideas. - So the key is, you have a very big, large, broad audience. And whenever something triggers one part of that audience, they're gonna be very vocal about it. And you obviously know this, but this is something that like audiences, as we consume content, we always think our opinion of the content is something that everyone shares.

But it's never the case. So just because you're vocal about it, just because you feel the way, a lot of people might disagree with you. You look at the comments of that video, of MrBeast's video. Oh, horrific. Well, no, some are horrific. So that's it, right? So that's it. I see the horrific ones. Well, initially also, a lot of people were like, ah. But then you look at them now, the people who discovered that video. I haven't heard from them since. You know, it'd be, I think I watched it recently because I wanted to see, I think it was like the end of last year probably, regardless. But,

- Yeah, very positive. Like this is my favorite Sidemen video. This is how I discovered the Sidemen, all this sort of bullshit. - Well, sometimes it happens 'cause we spoke about how people hated it. So then people go over to comments, say like, "I actually really enjoyed this." - Yes, yes. - But I think it's just important to try different things regardless. - Oh, 100%. - No one's ever gonna be happy with everything you do. So fuck it, just do shit. - You guys in MrBeast's video, I find it so funny.

- It was just so, so weird. - Like not maybe your fault, but your guys energy is just so like low. - Well it's 'cause, so this was literally his next video after. - And you beat me. - Yeah. - One week. - Well we lost it. - I shat in a bucket. What did you do? You went to a nice hotel. I suffered man. - That's the Sidemen way. - I think like Josh or you. - You said it yourself. - Drinking like that. - Oh bro. - He's in his mansion.

Well, it's because like... So we were filming... We were filming in Switzerland. Yes. And then we drove one way, flew all the way back to where we started, met up with him, the next day filmed and we're there for like six hours. And like...

It was 45 seconds. Oh, that's... It's painful. I did seven days on a raft. I wasn't in the first three minutes. It's really painful. I get it. I get that's how you make the best possible video for views and stuff, but no. Well, yeah, for a part, if you're trying to appeal to the broadest audience, it's the same as like make a movie, you spend like ages doing something. It's like they're just trying to capture things the best way. Yeah. You know, it's very funny trying to adapt to...

Because I would say like when I was grinding content, I was like probably a middle ground in some ways. Like I didn't do hour long videos and I would cut a lot. I'd record for like a week just to get a 10 minute video, something like that. But it definitely was not full Jimmy. So I'm like, I'm used to kind of doing both to some degree, but even doing the raft so many times you're like,

Nothing I'm saying or doing is ever gonna make this part. - But they're still filming it. - Well, to be fair, they had 24 hour cameras on us the whole time. Yeah, you record so much stuff. There were so many things that happened, so many experiences we had, whole storylines, whole like arcs of shit that happened.

never even a lot of day in it. And also it's so funny. Cause like you'll say something and he'll know at that point in the video, he needs to say that thing and he'll just repeat what you said. But you don't care. Like this is just him making a video. Cause he's just like, okay, no, I actually need to say this here. We'll refilm it like this or something like that. It's not all like the intro shit where he's trying to explain stuff. All the organic stuff's organic, but he's just like,

He just, oh no, we didn't film from this angle or say it this way, just so it fits better. And cause he, yeah, I know. - That's what Carl said too. Then he said it to Josh. He was like, oh, just say a few buzzwords here and there. And then Josh takes the piss and kind of goes like, this place is huge. - No, one of them ended up in the video. - No, it makes sense. 'Cause you think you're taking the piss, but then when you watch it back,

especially if you're an audience who doesn't know Josh or something like that, you don't know he's taking the piss. You think, oh, that reaction actually helps you feel what the video wants you to experience. So it's, I don't know, I did the whole time on the raft, every two seconds was just, this is the hardest thing I've ever done. Hardest thing I've ever done. That's all the shit that made it. - Yeah. - Well, we went to McDonald's in that video, for the video. Like we got eight cars escorting us like the president would kind of thing. It's like a 20 minute journey in the car.

And there's a guy just filming us in the back the whole time. We start talking to the driver about, you know, like, oh, we're going to get shot. We start testing the windows. We pull out the magazine, start doing the crossword. The guy's like, oh yeah, keep doing that. Keep doing that. None of it. Literally, like not even, not even like us getting in the car. Do you think he should, I've always said this, he should make another channel where in six months time, he uploads like an hour long video of it.

So I think the only argument against that is the same one that you would make these days, perhaps against second channels, which I know is not one that you would resonate with you. Where it kind of, if people see, you know, Mr. Beast uploading a video,

they expect a type of thing. They expect a certain thing. So if all of a sudden now, every time they see him in the, and look, maybe it's different these days, maybe it's something he'd do. But if they start seeing like Mr. Beast in the sidebar, they start clicking that, they start getting the content they don't want. It makes them less excited every time they act. And my only argument against that same idea is that so many people use his face and other shit anyway. But I think once you click a Mr. Beast video and you see it's him talking,

I mean, I guess he did gaming and reacts, but I think even in those things, he made sure they were very visually different the moment you click on them. Like he had his own react studio, had gaming was green screen. You can't confuse them in any way for the main video. So I think he'd probably rather just people go watch that in the experience he intends. And also then a bunch of people would probably steal behind the scenes shit, take shit out of context for him.

true because i just always see it's like like your video the one you're in yeah that could have been an hour long video and it would have been fucking mad we suffered bro we suffered hardest thing i've ever done in my life it was unreal because even yeah like hotels for example not it doesn't have as much of a storyline but even still there's only 30 seconds of each hotel yeah yeah so you could make it that one i don't really like those videos personally because i think for that i don't

For me, it's just like, oh, nice hotel. And then look, another nice hotel and a dinner. For me, but I understand why that really suits a lot of people. But like, I agree. I'd rather just do way more shit in that video. Well, I just always want to see the best one. I'm just like, I'll just... Definitely want to see the best one. Also, we're probably quite privileged where we also have stayed in really nice hotels. So we've lived those experiences. So, you know, it's the same as the airplane one. I'm like, I've been in the jet, dude. I don't know. Although he got really gassed at business. The first, like...

the middle one, he stays in business and they're like, oh, this chair reclines. And I was like, ain't no way you've not flown business before. Yeah. He's done the first class. I've done it. Like, I don't know. That's obviously such like a, not even a first world. That's like a, such a minor problem. But I think it's just, yeah, I don't know. I feel like I want to,

You can see those videos so many places on YouTube. - Yeah, and also think of like the 12, when I was 12 or 13, I was getting into YouTube when it first started and I was watching everything. I was loving it, right? Imagine if like a 12 year old now watching his content, they're like, "Oh my God, this is unbelievable." They love watching it. - It deserves to be as popping as it is. But obviously my main,

the content I consume is RuneScape videos. Like we've got different tastes to the broader audience. - I watch golf now, just nonstop golf. It's amazing. It's like same shot every time I'm like, this is amazing. It's so cool. - That's where YouTube kind of is for a lot of people. It's like you have a specific niche you want to watch and then you watch TikTok. - Yeah. - That's it. - Don't watch YouTube.

I don't think, I used to watch everything. - Do you consume TikTok and stuff though? - Yeah, yeah. - So that feeds you, you don't even have to think about what you wanna watch. It just tells you what you're interested in. - It's bad on Twitch. - It's good. - You love Twitch, right? You like live streams. - Yeah, I just have something on in the background. - Which is why I think it's so impressive that like Jimmy is still crushing it. 'Cause so much content has just like the other, you look at everyone else who is like the biggest in the world right now. Unless it's someone like say Sidemen who are kind of legacy in some ways.

You don't have to start from scratch or anything. You look at Speed, you look at Kai, obviously they're big live streamers, but they're much bigger and far more famous streamers

as individuals than they are as live streamers. Their live streams compared to how famous they are, don't get a lot of views. - No. - But it's all 'cause of clips. - Yeah. - Like the streaming isn't their main thing realistically. It's- - Being them. - Yeah, it's streaming to get clips in a lot of ways. - And like the way TikTok is, everyone else gets clips as well. It's not even like their platform. Everyone's clipping them. - Everyone gets views and attention from clipping them, especially with stuff like Twitter now where people are getting paid for that stuff. Even shorts, you know? 'Cause like during the peak of my streaming career,

I, for a whole year, I averaged like 70,000 concurrents, right? But nowhere fucking close to, and which is most of the time speed these days doing 30, 40K, something like that. Until he showed himself and then his viewers went up for a couple of weeks. But he's so much more famous than I ever was, right? Not even comparable, but we had similar stream numbers. Yeah. Interesting. And like he just, streaming isn't far and away not, so that's where people like, they don't necessarily want to watch like,

They just want to be fed it in some way. They automatically get fed. I don't want to watch Speed for four hours, five hours, but I'll definitely see it. I've never watched one of his streams, but I have seen so much of what he's done. In our chat, it gets clipped and we send each other, oh, you see what Speed did yesterday. We talk about it because events happen, things happen, but it's not. It's all about just creating moments to be as big as possible and you leverage that with other brands and stuff like that and that's how you make your money now. That's where all the biggest people come from because no one wants to watch YouTube videos. True.

Well, even shorts, everyone's talking about whether shorts is actually going to kill. I think YouTube said it. Someone in their team was researching it and they were saying I think shorts is going to kill long form on YouTube. I don't know because I think they're adding ways to direct to long form now. I think you'll just see things get more and more niched or you go Mr. Beast where you make something everyone in the world can consume. Yeah, it's either that or it's just like, you know, gardening videos. Because like gaming is still massive, but it's like you don't see anyone. I mean, I guess Corey Kenshin still gets like...

8 mil views on a horror video or something like that but you don't really see anyone get like 10 mil views of video on gaming anymore like it's all very it's very niche it's like you'll still so many people can get a million to two million so many if being fortnite valorant minecraft whatever but you very rarely outside of some random minecraft video that goes viral or some sort of bullshit some random ass game suddenly pops off yeah you don't see it anymore um but like you

the niches are still as successful as ever. - Yeah, yeah. I wonder if any like new game is gonna like do what these like four nights Minecraft GTAs have done. - You'll never get the same thing again because now like you look at, we used to make update videos for Fortnite. You'd get, I have some that have 30 million views. They would take 20 minutes. - Yeah. I remember the IEA live stream, you know, it was like something was about to happen. - It was everyone bro. - Yeah, yeah. - And they're like, all right, the new events about to happen in three,

- Two, one, okay, it didn't happen. We'll come back in an hour. - So we'll come back at the top of the hour, yeah. - Cracking event bullshit. But now you just get all that information on TikTok immediately. You wouldn't even have to know there's an update. You'd say, oh, Fortnite update, here's the gun, here's what it does, here's me getting clips of killing it. You used to do a 10 minute video. You'd have one clip at the very end of you killing someone with it. Like, that's a video guys, thanks for watching. - I would watch them, I would not skip through. Now I'll just skip through. - It was just fun to watch people discover shit, but now we don't have the attention spans.

And that was the fastest way to consume content. Yeah, man. Yeah, like new gun, like class. I watched the entire video. Now I just took a screenshot. Just screenshot that. Check it out. It's sad. The worst part is when people see MrBeast now and that kind of content, and they think that they're going to make their evergreen, their very niche content like his. And I think they tried to do that. It doesn't go very well. And they start to beat themselves up with their own content. And it's like, do what you do best. I think you've seen a bit of a bounce back. I think there was probably...

Late 2021, early 2022, very Mr. Beastification of YouTube. I think you're now just seeing people doing more niche stuff and figuring out, taking lessons from it and then doing it their own way. Yeah, that's the best way. Like Ryan Trahan or someone doing things his own way. Yeah. Like I really enjoy his videos, but he's not taking on the world. He's just doing some quirky little bullshit. Yeah. Like Max Foch, I actually really, really enjoy his content. Yeah, same thing. He just films on his iPhone, you know, most of the time. That's crazy. It's not like crazy big budgets, but the idea and the storyline is good where the actual...

Even me, I'm trying to film a video. I'm like, I have to get like the camera right, the camera person, you know, the mics. And you don't have to do all that. You should just tell a good story and that's fine. Yeah, I think because that's where I got stressed for a while. I think I was always an individual, edited everything myself, did all my own thumbnails as most people could probably tell the thumbnails were quite shit. They worked. But then it got to the point where the only way to progress, because humans are always upset, like we always have to progress, otherwise we are sad, was to go... But you brought up the...

- Yeah, so you always wanna progress. So the only place for me to go was to go big, do team stuff, but I'm not good at managing people. I fucking suck at it. Whereas now I think with the way like Kai and Speed, like it's all just about being a goofy goober. You know, you sort of, I see it sort of bouncing back, which sort of excites me 'cause I feel like it validates the way I've always seen it. Whereas I kind of like defeated myself for a while. 'Cause I'm like, oh, well if I'm not gonna go bigger, I might as well not do anything.

So it kind of excites me to like sort of do more shit. But I think you see, it's been a little bit of a bounce back. I think you're seeing people be individuals and just like doing their niches, doing their own thing. Yeah. Yeah. No, no, no. Either that's one. I can write about it. I don't know what the fuck. Well, someone who's not individual anymore.

- Is that what you're gonna say? - Vic. - It's Vic. - Hey, that's a good transition. I'm watching the screen up here. I don't know if there's no one already noticed. - Right, so we have a screen here that faces the guest, right? - Yeah, I'm directing this shit. I'm just rambling. I have no idea what I'm talking about. - Yeah, we should put that in the future. - Yeah.

- Yeah, 'cause obviously if I'm talking to you, I can't like just go like this, start reading the next topic while you're speaking. - Sam's really good at it. Not to talk about another podcast, Logan, he's really good at it. - Yeah, yeah. - He's really good at it. - Wait, doesn't he stick a laptop in front of him? That's so genius. - I think he had a phone when we did it, but still, I didn't ever felt like disrespect or he was looking away or anything when he did it. - Did you do it in LA? - What is? - In Australia. - Yeah, so he probably had his phone. - I love how they do that. - Yeah, it is like actual sat, like the one that is home. - Well, they try a lot harder than we do. - Yeah.

- I mean, you turned up and I said, I have no idea what we're talking about. - Yeah, no, I've always wanted to do it though. I don't know why it took so long. I always thought he hated me. I was like- - No, we're not asking each other that. So we don't ask people either. We wait for them to ask us. - We've asked- - That's ego. - No, no, no, it's nerves. We don't ask people 'cause if they say no, they ruin us. - 'Cause I just asked one person. We've asked one person ever and they said no. Who was it? - Sorry.

It was the man we're going to talk about now. Oh, was it Vic? It was Vic. Hey, look, he's this busy man sometimes. Sometimes ego, you know. It was our 123rd episode. Oh, that's disrespectful. Vic, that's bad. That's bad. We were like, please. And he went, oh, I'm podcasting it out. Yeah, he's like, did side cash yesterday. Poor form, Vicstar. Poor form.

We got him in the end. We did get him in the end. Yeah. But not one, two, three. No. Yeah. 180 something. Yeah. Less interesting. Anyway, Vic slowed content down. I remember with Vic, right? He had like an insane like 8,000 streak and he missed one day and just stopped. Yeah. He discovered life. It's crazy. I'm going to call him out though for this. Okay. He, because I lived with him. Yeah. He was always like, oh, I haven't missed a day in however long.

then he would upload after midnight. - I think it's more of an idea. I don't think it's like, you know, it has to be super strict. I think it's like, if you are averaging one video a day and it's like relatively within, I don't think. - Yeah, but then he was like, "Oh, I've never missed a day." Then I was like, "Didn't you upload after midnight?" He went, "Oh yeah, I do it based on sleep." And then he missed one sleep.

I went to bed, woke up, uploaded a video and was like, oh, it was just an app. And I was like, the rules are changing here, Vickstar. I feel like you can have a little bit of leniency in there. Yeah. I mean, he's still uploaded like thousands of videos. No, no, he's a liar. I'm just saying. He should be cancelled.

Canceled big stuff. I used to love, like, I used to stay at their house a lot back in the day and like, we're all there doing our thing, you know, it's like 4pm and Vic just walks down and he's like, he's got his jammers and slippers and a bowl of cereal. I'm like, I mean, I lived like a DJ for a lot of my life but I was like, bro,

- 4:00 PM. - I used to wake up at 4:00 PM. - Yeah, yeah. - 'Cause Fortnite was on the very much a US schedule. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - So updates would come out like midnight and it's like, cool, you got to film and all the other boys had editors. So I was like, I have to edit it as well. I'd go to bed at like 11:00 AM every morning. - Yeah. - So when we play Among Us, what time is it for you? - Oh, now it's like 8:00 PM, it's fine. - Okay. - But I wake up at like 5:00 AM so it's still a bit tiring, but. - Fair enough, fair enough.

It's more like the brain damage of listening to the bullshit. And I fully admit, I have become one of the brain dead morons. Like,

I have hundreds of hours in Among Us. That was my biggest stream game, my streaming era. I was pretty fucking good back then. And I know you're good, but that lobby... Compared to the lobby. The lobby aren't... They're not people. They're not even playing the game. The game's not even fucking played, but I used to think I was pretty good.

I've just, I've lost any sense of logic. You can't play with them. We don't play. Harry sits on cams, right? The entire game. Yeah. And then you go, he goes, oh, I saw someone kill. We go, who is it? He goes, I don't know. And we're like, where was it? I don't know. I just saw someone. Yeah. And I'm like, if you can't do that part of the game. I think it's good though, because it's kind of kept, like when Among Us first happened, it was kind of like that.

Yeah. Very early. And then it got very fucking sweaty. So sweaty. Very quick. And it got very clicky about what groups were playing with who. Yeah, that was crazy. It was very like a weird ego-y era. Like era of YouTube and stuff. It's like this person's streaming. I don't know. It was weird. It's been very impressive how long Sidemen Among Us has lasted. Even it's like resurgent era. Mm-hmm.

And it's still kind of fun. Like I still overall kind of have a good time. It's because things like that with Harry not being able to play it properly. Cause that's the, that's the fun part of it. But people still want to win though. Cause that's the issue. It's not like taking the piss. No one cares. I just there for a check. Want to leave every now and then, but like people still care if they win or lose. And that is, you still need that. But then that usually progresses to people being very fucking sweaty.

Yeah, you get called a liar, for example, then your friends call you a liar, and then you're like, okay, I don't care about the game, but why are you calling me a liar now? Toby's like that. I know Toby does not give a fuck about Among Us, but someone's like, Toby, you're lying. Bro, I'm not lying, man. You get so angry at him. It's because you can play a perfect game of Among Us with our group and get voted out.

Whereas in a sweaty lobby, if you have a perfect game, they vote for who you wanted them to vote, whatever. Whereas this, I kill you, no one sees it. You see the body, someone sees you. Someone just goes, "Simon, I don't like your tone." - Simon followed me. That's enough for me. - JJ exists in the lobby. - We've all had our moments. - Toby straight from the start, Toby goes up, does download.

JJ goes and watches him and goes, this is weird. This is weird. Toby finishes the task, comes down. JJ goes, oh my God, oh my God. Presses the button and goes, Toby's bear suss. This is weird. Everyone's like, fair enough, man. Why would he lie? No one's died. No one's...

There's nothing. It's so good. Yeah, but the better you are and the more you've played before, the worse the lobby is. Like Anitalia played once and she was like, I can't do that again. Well, she is a very sweaty player. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She likes the lobbies where it's sweaty. My favourite clip, there was one recently that was really good where we chased Danny Adams. Yeah, that was good. The other one was where, I don't think, no, it wasn't proximity chat, but

For whatever reason, we never used to deafen and this is probably why we do deafen. We used to just all just mute during the round. One day JJ just unmuted. I kill him, he's like fucking laser beams, yells it. - That was on purpose by the way. - But it took me so long to get imposter.

I think the last three times we've recorded, I've had imposter once, by the way. It's fucking awful. You just go on these streaks. I'm like, I don't want to be here from a crewmate because no one gives a fuck. No one's doing tasks. No one's doing fucking anything. We've never went on tasks. I just want to be imposter so I can just at least kill Denny Ahrens and be fucking done with it. Yeah.

- You know there was one Among Us session we did during lockdown. I think we did like a seven hour stream and I didn't get imposter. - Nah, you would, 100%. And then you'd have ones where you get like 12 times. - Yeah, but I literally, I remember like, I just started changing my title to like this long without imposter and I started just doing laps and I was like, I'll gift a sub for every lap I do without,

- 'Cause also on Twitch you wouldn't read your chat right, unless you were the Impostor. So that's also- - I started reading chat 'cause I was that bored. I was like, they're not telling me who thing is, I'm just talking to them about their day. - True, true. - Yeah, no, I definitely had like some six, seven hour Among Us streams. And I always felt so much pressure. Like a lot of people watching at that point, I was like, they don't wanna watch you just be crewmate all day. They wanna see some kills and shit. 'Cause you'd always see like,

Especially on YouTube, very fickle audience. Oh, as soon as you're an imposter. I was joking. Yeah, that was true, actually. You don't even need to watch stream. Just go on Twitch and just see whose viewers go up. Yeah. They're an imposter. Good era, though. Yeah. Just sit with the sidebar open. You know, I got banned from an Among Us session once before. When I... Me and JJ lived together and JJ was...

JJ wasn't impostor, I think Harry was. Harry got a kill, it was us three left. And I was like, there's no way I could have known. So I'm just like, hmm, who is it? Who is it? Harry starts waffling. I just go into JJ's room. I'm just like, oh, okay, cool. Go back in and go, yeah, Harry, I think I'm gonna vote for you. They find out and they banned me from the next session. And then someone else did it and didn't get banned.

That's some bullshit, man. That was a good video for JJ, you know? Yeah, it was actually. It banged. It banged, yeah. I actually remember the one time at your wedding, you weren't playing in one of the sessions and it was a shambles. Not necessarily because of the game itself, more so like controlling the lobby. Like, you know how everyone counts to sync? Oh, yeah. No, you need someone who's the daddy. And I would do it, but like no one's giving... I don't even know when I get invited to this shit. I just randomly like the night before get like a message from Chip and he's just like...

Come in. I'm like, I guess I can make it. It's fine. Yeah, it's wild. I missed the last one. Yeah? I don't remember the last one. I don't know. When was the last one? I might have missed the last one too. I don't know what it was.

- It was a while ago now. It's been a long time since you guys played. - We need Sunday's mods. That's what we need. - You should, but I mean, did the guy let you buy them or is it? - I don't know. - Like two years ago, I tried to do Among Us mods. He's like, "Yeah, you can't." - He's so good. That guy's so good. - Oh, it's crazy. The shit that they've done, it's not even Among Us. It's a modding platform. - They just go, "Oh, next week, oh, you can do KSIV Tommy Fury mod." - Mad. - And it's just like the killer turns into one of them and starts beating people. - And he was printing like 300 mil long form view months of that.

Yeah. With like good CPM so he'd be not to leak his earnings but he'd be it's a lot. Making a lot. This podcast is sponsored by DoorDash.

Wait, I saw the video. You got pranked. You got pranked with Chad, right? Oh, you see that video? I saw that, yeah. I'm on TikTok.

stuck what happened so him and you know anything for views Chad sat there with him and then this kid comes over he's like oh ladies can I get a photo and he's like yeah of course man no worries no worries takes a photo kid leaves then he's got his hood up now and the kid comes back with a bag of like

like a hundred toys. He's like, oh, can you sign my like, my Nerf gun or whatever? He's like, yeah, sure. It's just like a bunch of like Fortnite merch and shit. And I was like, and the kid goes like, can you write like, write to someone like happy birth, happy ninth birthday. Happy ninth birthday. Then happy 10th birthday. Then happy, like,

You're getting stocked up here for a few years. He was so nice. And all the comments was like, bro, he's so nice. Just saying yes to all this. So that's why it was perfect prank for me. Cause I never say no. Yeah. I just, it's like, it pisses everyone else off. Cause they're all reasonable. It's like, if we're eating just wait till after. I'm always like, I don't care. Yeah. I struggle to say no while eating. The only time I'll say no is like, I said at the hotel. Yeah. Outside my house. Yeah. I don't like if it's at my house, I'm always just like, but even the hotel, I was a bit like,

I don't wanna encourage this. - Well, that's the reason I have to start learning to say no 'cause everyone I'm with all the time, they don't want to take the photos while they're eating. And if I say yes and they know, it makes it look bad. But that's why it was perfect for me 'cause like I just never say no. So this kid just kept coming with shit. And I'm just figuring, I knew something weird has happened. But I figured they must've just found out where our office was and just followed us to lunch or something like that. And like they were just camping outside the office with all this shit.

you know, just to give to all their friends or something. So that's what I was thinking. Never thinking I was getting pranked around here. Yeah. But yeah, no, then they just jump out of a fucking van. Like, but I kept coming back. He hands me like a photo of me and my girlfriend and he goes, oh damn, she's heaps hot too. Oh my gosh. I'm like, this kid's got something wrong. He's just saying shit. I mean, I just thought it was funny. It doesn't hurt. But then the thing, the only thing I said no to was, he's like, can you follow me on Instagram? I just don't like doing that. Everyone asks me, I'm like, I just don't want to do that. And then,

The mum was kind of like a little bitchy about it. I'm like, oh, okay. I've just signed 800 fucking things. So like, I'm still just like, yeah, fine. Okay, leave. And they come back again 20 minutes later and go, can you just, can you follow me on Instagram? And I'm just like, ah. So I still even relented then. I still eventually did it. That was after the prank. No, that was the end of the prank. So you only saw it on TikTok. Sorry, I'm sorry. Yeah, no. So you didn't see the actual reveal of it. Yeah, yeah. No, so that's where, then it pulls out the poster of,

I don't know. Have you ever heard of Misfit Minds? Like the Aussie pranks? They did something with Nico recently. I know Misfit. Do they have- No, no. It's very different. But anyway, they put out a poster of the boys who pranked me. I'm like, this is fucked. Let's jump out. It sucks though. I thought my friend, he sussed me into the lunch. I was very stressed. It was just before I came here. I had lots to do. He sussed me into the lunch. He's like, oh, I'm having a tough time. I really need this lunch. This is the place I really want to go to. I'm like-

Fine, I'll go. I'm just like stressed out of my mind and he pranked me. On the TikTok, it got to like the part where like the reveal was, you know, there's always part one, part two. Yeah. You got to decide if you want to scroll through the account and try and find the... Yeah, no. On that time, we'll just skip past it. The video did all right for them. That was good. Well, as a side note, talking about Vic, he has been to Australia. Yes. The rest of us haven't.

- That's disgusting though. - JJ has. - Josh can't go for more than 10 days. - Yeah. - Why though? - There's a clip where they're like, "Oh, let's go for two weeks." And Josh is like, "No, 10 days." - Josh is in for two weeks. - Two weeks is fine, two weeks is fine. But I don't care how nice you fly. Like you will be cooked for- - Oh yeah. - Like you could film, but like, I don't know. You'd just be better. Just have a day of rest before you start doing stuff.

Oh yeah, we'd have- And also have a holiday or something, boys. Come on, film like- Beta Squad went and filmed like 20 videos. Like go there, film five and then- That's I think our plan is go there. The first two days, nothing, do what you want to try and get acclimatized or whatever. And then film for the next like four or five days, try and get three to five videos. Yeah. And then I would stay there for an extra week. Yeah. I think most of them would. That'd be sick to have everyone. I think they've told me they want me to plan a video or something.

Or help whoever is planning the video plan the video. Yeah. Well, I think we're aiming to do some sort of holiday or road trip or something like that. And I know you and Lachlan both got asked, oh, do you want to be involved in the planning part? Is that something you actually want to do? I want to do it, but it gets difficult. Because the side men are difficult to plan for.

You can't make you guys do anything that would take more than a day. You just can't. If I'm like, all right, you guys are traveling to the middle of bumfuck nowhere, right? You are actually abandoned in the desert, right? You are going to Uluru, bro. Like you are finding your way back home. You're not going to do it.

If I was like, okay, bad team holiday. We're going to Dubbo where I used to work, which is, to be fair, it's only an hour flight from Sydney. I'm going to take you out there, take you to the zoo there. It's actually a kind of fun zoo, but still, it's a country town, right? It's not like... And then the other person could go do Sydney Harbour, big yacht, everything. You're not going to fucking go to Dubbo, are you? I think...

Not to say Dubbo would be it. - I'm trying to be realistic here and not be like, oh yeah we would. - Yeah. - The main thing for us is the traveling side of it. So like say we did the road trip and you were like, okay, you're gonna start here and end here because you're gonna do all of this. We always try and make it shorter so that, 'cause the content isn't in the traveling. - Yeah.

That's fair. That's where Australia is difficult with that because if you want to drive anywhere, it's all going to be the same shit. It's all just coastal towns all up the same way. So there's no way really... It's not like you're road tripping from two... Unless you do take three days to do it.

I mean, if we're going to Australia, I would actually be down to do more in that time. - There's definitely videos you could do that a single day or half days or something like that. And then do a couple of those. But then you, it's just, Australia is a very big place. It is the size of America. - Yeah. - But with a lot less diversity in it's like locations in terms of like cities and stuff. So you've got to travel some distances to be able to do different shit. Which is my only concern with planning that video. 'Cause I'm like, I know I could cook some shit up, but like it's all spread around.

I think it kind of depends on, firstly, JJ's got to win his fight if he's going to come here and be in a good mood. But he's not. I'm betting 100k on him if he fights Jake Paul, but until then, I don't know. I don't know about Tommy Fury. But if he loses that, then he's definitely going back into camp. He's fighting someone else. If he wins, he's like, cool. He won't want to, though. If you've just lost, you're going to be like, nah, fuck it. That's fair. I don't know. I guess it's figuring out those...

And obviously it really depends if like the idea we have is worth any of that actual time putting into it. Obviously there's, you know, you're not just going to do 12 hours for the sake of it. Yeah. So I think we would. I don't think you'd get, you wouldn't get like three days for a video, but I mean, we do a lot of shoots where it is two days. Yeah. But it's more like, it's more like overnight. Like 12 hours. Start at five. Yeah. Start at five and at 10 a.m. Yeah.

But no, I think that's the only thing I'm trying to figure out with like the actual planning of it. But there's plenty of cool shit today. We just need to have a meeting and sit down and be like, all right. Have a meeting, man. Will you? We actually are having a meeting, I think, next week. People, are you scared of crocodiles? There are a lot of them I've heard. And kangaroos. Depends what you're talking about in terms of crocodiles. That's like feeding them and shit. Like, would you go on like a boat in a river and like dangle shit over there? Yeah. I've sat on a crocodile.

- You've sat on a crock. - In Ghana, right? - Yeah, in Ghana. - Oh shit. - He went Ghana on his own. - Wouldn't do it again though. - I had a soul searching trip for three months. - Three months? When did you find time? - I went two and a half months when I was like 18 or 19. - No, really? - No, it was like-- - Pre-YouTube though. - Yeah, yeah. - Okay. - But basically last week there was a thing that was like, oh, you need to go on a, you need to travel on your own at some point. Have you ever traveled on your own? - I mean-- - Not just the flight. - Ah. - To find yourself.

Nah, because I've always met up with friends at the location or something. So no, the answer would be no. So I did that and met people. I'd never met them before, but obviously I became friends with them there. He doesn't count that as travelling on your own. No, because it was one of those... Shut the fuck, that is travelling on your own. No, no, no, no, no. It was one of those camps. It was like a camp thing, like a PG... Yeah, it was like I went with a football... But it's still a football coaching. It was orchestrated on his behalf.

Yeah, I don't know if that... Okay, yeah, I don't think that counts. It's fine. I see it as like a backpack and a dream just fucking hidden. Well, John basically tried to claim he did that. He went to Paris for about three hours to skateboard.

Sick man. He didn't sleep. He didn't sleep. Anyway, the reason I'm bringing all this up is because you mentioned that Australia is the size of America. Is that true? Roughly, yes. I've been going on this. Can we get a fact check? Roughly. I'm not going to say it's like to the kilometer squared. That's fine. Sorry, can you get that? But they're both massive. That website where you can drag a country. Yeah, I was going to say. Can you pull that up, Jack? And I'm not discrediting you. I just want to see it. No, Australia's not even real, man. For me, it might not be. Nah, get the website up.

- Okay, sorry. It's 7.6 million square kilometers versus 9.8. So it's a substantial difference, but they're both quite large. - I know what you're thinking like- - And to be fair, it's continental US, not including Alaska, Hawaii, which that would include. - I know, I know, I know. - So it's like this and this, like tiny Australia, massive- - So yeah, that number for the United States would include Alaska and Hawaii, which is usually included. So if you do it over the continental. - Yeah, so drag Australia. - Even looking at that, you can see that they're quite similar, dude. - Oh wow, yeah, true. - I kind of dragged that fucker over to America.

- Try that fucker. - No. Oh, sorry, yeah, sorry. - Wow! - Wait. - Well, it looks bigger there, but obviously like America stretches up. - Did it even change size though? - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Can you drag that down to- - Well, no, 'cause it's probably pretty close to the equator, so it gets bigger. - Drag it down to South America? - So if you don't include, see how fucking big Alaska is? If you don't include that, it's the same size as the continental US. - Wait, even South America's huge too. - What?

Have you ever looked at a map? No, yeah, but like South America's big South America's like windy and like skinny at the bottom But when you put Guys, I just realized looking at this map I don't know if you guys realize Russia's pretty big Russia's actually quite fucking large I knew that one, I know China's big too Drag it over to some other stuff, man

- Whoa. Wow. It's nearly as big as Russia. - I mean, it's not quite as thick though. - No, compared to England. - Yeah, yous are tiny bro. - We're so small. You can fit us into Texas. - Yous are New South Wales best.

That's great. I didn't know that. Well, there you go. So that's why it's quite hard to do a road trip because we also only have like six cities worth ever going to. They're all, they're not, they're different, but they're not like New York versus LA or something like that. I heard the north of like Australia is just like, oh, you can go up there. There's some sick stuff. That's where I'd send you to like far north Queensland or something. Go feed some crocodiles. Yeah. You know about that?

- I haven't do now. - There's jellyfish out there, they'll kill you. Just don't go swimming. - Fucking hate jellyfish. - I'll watch that video for sure by the way. - Yeah? - You won't. - No, I just got to know everyone's boundaries, everyone's things and how much time he's actually wanna put in. - Okay. - But it'd be good. - Well hopefully we have a meeting this week. - You certainly won't get abandoned in the desert and then have like a chauffeur take you into the city 10 minutes in. - Hey, don't point at me. This is my video. - I was in it though, so it was a good video. - It wasn't. - Whose video was it?

- Do you remember? - I think Josh's. - I actually think it was Josh's. Poor form from him. - Yeah, stinker Josh. - He has a lot of bangers. Yeah, a lot of bangers. - Thing is, I think as soon as people saw it was Josh's, they went, "Oh, this dude's got stuff." - I mean, I think it's still got like probably eight or nine mil or something. - Yeah, true. - Well, I mean, we got people to click, abandoned in desert. - Hell yeah, that's what matters. - They were like, "Whoa." - We only care if, I mean, not we, I'm not associated with these guys at all, but you know, as long as you click and give them money, that's all Sidemen care about. - 100%. - You heard it here first.

- Yeah. - On that like, you know, train of thought, subscribe to this channel too. - Yes, subscribe here. They're trying to get a million. - Jeez. - We always say it's at the end, man. - I know. We always fucking forget. - Do you wanna do one to put the start? - Nah, it's not worth it.

Well, thanks for coming on. We should probably end it now, right? I mean, I got nothing better to do, but I'm happy to leave. We're going to get ready for a game. I know. I can't believe you scored a hat trick. How fucking sick was that? That time when I scored the goal, ran to the stands, jumped into the crowd, grabbed someone's beer, took my boot off, poured a shooie, drank it. That was fucking sick. Would I get red card if I drink a beer? No. I was literally just about to say,

I would love to do a shoeie as a celebration. That'd be so sick. Well, okay, because I'm not going to score. You can do it, but you've got to do it with me. Oh, 100%. But only if I'm on the pitch. If I'm on the bench, then fucking... No, I'd run over. I'd run over and I'd go... So the issue is like, how long does it take you to take your football boot off? No, no, we'll have pre-organized shoes. It's got to be your filthy... Otherwise, it's not the same. It's true, but then I have to put it back on. Yeah, that's why it's iconic, bro. I'm not fit now, but I was less fit last year. And I actually hated when we scored.

Because we've got to go run and celebrate and run back to the fucking centre circle again. I'm like, fuck me. You get like a different burst of energy. You do. It's the same with like, if you ran past me with a football, I wouldn't bother chasing you. But if I have the football, I'll run all day. Yeah, yeah, yeah. As soon as the ball's not near me, I don't care. Yeah, in my dreams, I still see Philly, you know. I dream about it. Like, I'm trying to tackle him. I know he's going to just beat me, but I don't pretend I've got to look like I'm...

Do we know, like, I mean, this can be off the podcast, but like, do we know where we're playing? Because I actually don't know, like, positions. Yeah, you are starting right back. Okay, I can do right back. I just don't want to be center back. No, you're right back. Fuck, that's chill. That's chill. That's clear. That's easy. As of right now, it's freezy and...

but they're both currently throwing up. - I just, nah, center back is too much pressure. Center back is you are highlight reel fucked. You got a fucking speed dance. Like a speed can hit me on the fucking right back. I don't give a fuck. There's someone else there to stop him in some capacity. - True, true. - So they're saying 32 degrees because the stadium is a dome, it's gonna feel like a morse. I might die tomorrow.

So when this comes out, I could be dead. - Fuck yeah, we all could die, bro. I haven't read in a year. - Imagine if we're dead and everyone's like, "Oh damn, this is the last podcast they ever did." - They even knew it was gonna be that hot. They even predicted their death and they didn't stop it. - You know what, I'm happy. If I've said that now, I'm happy if I do die. - Die doing something cool 'cause you're all gonna die anyway and honestly our lives are all a blip on the fucking radar of the cosmos. So you might as well die doing something cool. - Go back to the depression one quick. - Depression is realism, man. Nah, if I score, damn, which I'm not gonna.

Have faith, have faith. I'm just sending every ball. If I even touch it, that is just towards the goal. That's an XQ season goal, okay? That's insane. I saw the stream. I was going to hope I can kick that far, but right back it might be hard. But if I was midfield again. Overlap, overlap. Yeah. Thanks for letting me start. Didn't start last year. It's all right. No, it's not. There's not many people on the bench that are kind of like...

fighting to get on there. Yeah. So the tough part, Manny's on the bench. The tough part that is, we're a Sidemen team.

It's kind of hard to get minutes sometimes because you guys gotta be on the pitch as much as possible, which is obviously fair. - Well, Vika only got like 37 minutes last game. - I probably had 12. - I'll take 12. - I'm dog shit and not a sideman. So it's not, I'm not mad about it. But I was saying if you want a minute, you'd be on all stars if you cared much about that. A lot more rotation there. But I'm happy, bury me, bury me in the, I'm just happy to be there. I'm not a center of attention. I'm just gonna fuck up, it's all good. - Well, you all saw what happened.

We'll probably talk about it. The weird thing is we're going to record a podcast next week where we talk about it. Yeah. And then this one comes out after. It's kind of fun. Most of it's been at the end though, I guess. So it's kind of fun thinking. Thanks for watching. Thanks for listening. Thanks for coming on. Anytime, man. Take care. Take care.
