James Frayne: 我是 Sidemen 的摄像师,参与了 MrBeast 的视频拍摄,获得了 2 万英镑的报酬。这笔钱主要用于购买了一辆 80 年代的保时捷,并计划改装成电动车。我之前在电视和电影行业工作过,但更喜欢 YouTube 视频拍摄的工作方式。我和 John 因为分享 meme 而成为了朋友,并通过 John 认识了 Con,最终加入了 Sidemen 的拍摄团队。我曾经运营过一个名为 Super Moolah 的 YouTube 频道,也尝试过无人机拍摄。我与 Sidemen 的合作始于大约两年半前,第一次拍摄的是 JJ 的音乐视频《Domain》。在与 Sidemen 合作的过程中,我经历过一些技术上的失误,也感受到了 YouTube 与传统影视制作的不同。我更喜欢 Sidemen 的拍摄氛围,因为他们更轻松自由。 主持人: James Frayne 是收入最高的 Sidemen 摄影师之一,他因参与 MrBeast 的视频拍摄而获得 2 万英镑的报酬。Harry 最终决定将赢得的喷气式飞机换成现金。MrBeast 的视频获得了 24 小时内观看次数最多的世界纪录,但他们认为 MrBeast 的最新视频不如之前的视频精彩。Chris Rock 打 Will Smith 的视频是观看次数最多的视频。他们讨论了视频缩略图对视频观看次数的影响,以及 James Frayne 给观众留下的神秘印象。James Frayne 有电视和电影方面的背景,拥有多个 GCSE 学位,包括进阶数学和三门理科。他们开玩笑地讨论了 James Frayne 是否应该从 Prime 的成功中获得分成。

- Yassup guys and welcome back to the What's Good podcast. Now we are really, really scraping the barrel today. - Yeah, it's rock bottom. - James Frayne. - Hello. - It could have been worse. - It's me. - We could have had Jon. - Honestly, we were so close to getting Jon on again, but me and Sanna had a conversation where I just please do not let that happen. Whatever we can do. - This is the most paid Sideman cameraman out there because Harry.

Oh, okay, yes. We're going straight into it. There goes a little caveat at the end, like the cool bit. Harry's balls, is that what you're doing? It was close, to be honest. Yes, I guess I am pretty moneyed. What did you do for him? Sorry? What did you do for Harry to get 20 grand? It was the Mr. Beast video.

Is it in the video? It's not in the video, is it? I don't think it is in the video. Because it's a very cut down video. But then again, it was 17 hours. 17 hours? That's almost a whole day. Yo, that's crazy, man. Seven hours off. Yeah, no, it was MrBeast, the jet video.

And I... Actually, to be fair, I came down just to, like, see it. Because it was the day after charity match, right? So everyone was exhausted. And we went down to see it shoot because it's the first one in the UK. And...

It was nice. Then we told we couldn't really be close to it. So we kind of all just left. We're like, okay, well, never mind. I went back home, had a nice chill. I was exhausted. So I slept for a bit and then I got a call at like, I think 10:00 PM being like, hey, we need another camera guy because it's all gone. It's all falling apart a bit. Yeah. Because they were meant to go all over the place. But I think as far as I'm aware, because no one left early enough,

all the plans were cancelled. They had like Geneva and they had like teams out there. They were going to go to Guernsey as well. Yeah. That's where I was from by the way guys. Yeah well I had the there was a rumour that I think Harry was planning on going to Guernsey with his brother in the jet.

and then being like oh well thanks for getting me home and then just get off nice um and then they didn't do that so they didn't do that committed yeah but you know what yeah kind of good now um anyway yes so i came down and like hour i think 15 or something harry's taped to lux and they've all got their hands on everything so he has no hands and he goes frames frames you couldn't you couldn't pull my trousers up and they were slipping down oh there we go no there was

then one on the jet um and yeah they were taped together and i thought like what would john do and see uh ask for money yeah exactly and i've never done that before on a video like it's become quite a thing for the cyberman videos nowadays but um i'd never done that so i was like fuck it i'm gonna do it as a meme um so yeah i asked i was like hey do you know what i'll do it but if you win give me x amount of money did you go for 20 grand

Yeah, I went for 20 grand, guys. See, that's why you're better than John, because John would have gone for like two grand. Exactly. I did like a wild one, because like... He would have ruined himself, because he would have said, oh, I want two grand. Yeah. James went, if you win. Yeah, so smart. Smarter. It was a risk, but it was worth it. It was a big risk. And also, it's Harry. So like, I was very not... I wasn't expecting to be there. But he's like, if I win, yeah. So if you win is the key part here. Well, yeah. And then, wildly enough, Harry went on to win, which is not like...

I wasn't expecting Harry to put up with that for like 17, 18 hours. He's very committed. When he decides to do something, he will do it pretty well. But it's like getting to that point. Yeah. So yeah. And then like following that, also the numbers like so big, like it's a lot of money. And following that, I was like, okay, well, it was obviously just a joke. And I made the joke once on the podcast when we were doing it in Dubai and heard nothing of it.

And then, yeah, when he was like texting me one day, he was like, the jet money's come through. I was like, fuck, okay. No, I know whenever he did talk about like...

Because he was always, oh, am I going to take the jet? Am I going to do this or whatever? And we would just say, bro, just take the money. Yeah, yeah. It's not worth having a jet and having to store it. Yeah. He always went, okay, yeah, I think I get this much and I've got to pay you. And then he had to pay someone else as well, I think. Will. Yeah. Yeah, I think he... Will left, I think, as a... Like, oh, I'll take money, whatever. But yeah, yeah.

I remember when he won the jet, we got onto it and we sat in there and the pilot came out and we're talking about like, oh, you could rent it out. You could do this and you do that. And even the pilot was like, yeah, I'd probably take the money if I was you. It's like, it was a very expensive jet. It's like going to be like 400k. That's coming from a pilot.

Yeah, it's coming from a pilot. It's like 400k a year to run those sort of things. It's insane. But yeah, so I then got money. What did you do with the money? What did I do with the money? Like, I think sensible people would have invested in things and whatever. Drugs? Oh yeah, blew it on drugs. I got all, Lemzip and Paracetamol. No, I blacked out. You know what bangs? Cowpoll?

- I've had some couple last night. - You had a sip, didn't you? - No, no, no, Laura was, she really didn't want it. She was crying, obviously. So she had Laura. - The serum? - No, no, the baby.

And then she's put some on my arm here and I was like, it's annoying. I don't want to slip off more. So I just had it. And I was like, oh, fuck, give me some more. Oh, yeah. Cowboy was elite. Like I said, I felt really bad because then like she has to have some more and she really didn't want it. And obviously as parents, you have to do, you know, bad things. I had to literally like hold it. That was a weird way. As parents, you have to do bad things.

Well, let me quarantine my sentence and it'll be fine. My heart's just going to get worse. I had to hold her head, hold her mouth open while Laura put the cup on. But you listen, it's for her benefit, you know, it's medicine. But it's tough because she obviously hates you now.

So after the drugs you bought. Yeah, well, I bought a car. Which one? It sounds very bougie. It's a 1980s Porsche, but it's not actually that expensive a car. It's just something I always wanted. You know people who like Porsche 944? Porsche 944.

- People who love like cars, like you know, real cars. I'm gonna offend them right now. 'Cause I saw a show when I was in some hotel somewhere and nothing was on, so I just turned TV on. And it was like old cars like this, but they were taking the engines out and putting electric motors in. And they were fucking rapid. So I wanted to do that. I wanna get like a classic car and then take the engine out and put an electric motor in. But I feel like the purists- - Isn't that like, yeah, that's-

- Oh yeah, people will hate you. - Better to drive, put power steering in, make it just a sick car. Maybe Apple CarPlay in there as well. So I want the exterior to be classic, be inside on it to drive like a nice car. - I think there's a company that does that with like Mustangs and stuff like that. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - You can do that with Minis as well. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - You can take an old Mini and they store the engine. - BMW do it, yeah. - I think it was that show. We're probably all talking about the same thing here, but sort of different, you know. You probably saw it on TikTok, I saw it on BBC. You probably saw it on Black Market or something. - Black Market. - Yeah, they do videos on there.

Do they do videos on the black market? Do they do videos on the black market? Yeah, that's what I saw. Yeah, it's a video. It's the documentary I watched. That's them. I think. I'm having a chat. Well, speaking of Mr. Beast. Yeah. Did you see he got the world record? He did it this time. Yeah, the most. This is outdated, but we're recording this a week in advance. He got the longest yo-yo, like, walking the dog out in the world, right? No. The most viewed video in 24 hours. Yeah. What was it? It was 40...

50 it just narrowly beat mine um mine my child that was the second most fastest video yeah it is insane numbers it is like it's crazy but it's also like it's i don't know it's getting so impressive that i don't even know yeah it was kind of like just like oh yeah fair enough like it i also it's gonna sound really strange right you know you get like two million views on a video no let's change it now but i guess i don't know something about like 46 million

I don't mind. What were you gonna say? Like back in the day you get like 2 million views and it showed 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 and they changed it to like M now. So now it's like 67 M views after a day. I'm like, put the zeros on man. I want to see those zeros, bruv. But no, he's doing sick stuff, man. He's like, but he's just going to keep going from here. Like how's he going to slow down? The next one's probably going to be the most viewed. Because I would also argue, by the way, these videos, and I'm not trying to hate on them, are just kind of like,

They feel like he's full of videos. His big ones feel like Squid Games have things where he goes like a massive project. So what about right now? - It takes seven days of solid filming. - I'm not saying, yeah, I know, but I'm saying that's his level now. He's upped his game to where these kinds of videos are just like, oh cool, new Mr. Beast video dropped. But imagine when he just went in trending like Squid Games again in the future. That one's gonna go mental. Imagine if you dropped Squid Games now. - Damn, yeah. - But don't do it now 'cause you've already done it. - See, this video, good thing.

- Good video, but I didn't even think it's anywhere near as best. - That's my point, yeah. - I haven't watched it yet, but it's- - I've seen two minutes and I consider that watched. - That's not it. - Lannan's in it, right? - Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's why I wanted to watch it even more, but I got bored again. - Two minutes in. - My problem, not the video's problem. - It's more 'cause the video itself seems like a concept where you need the people to struggle and 18 minutes for seven days isn't enough to see a struggle.

Also, it feels fake, but it's just not. Yeah, I mean, it's a treat to see where they actually filmed it. In the ocean? Yes. Okay. By the way, I'm in a more annoying mood today. I'm drinking Pratt & Energy and a coffee. He's a bit goofy today. He's in a goofy, silly mood. Yeah, I'm very silly. No, that was the last one. Yeah, but Chris Rock slapping Will Smith is the most viewed. Yeah. That makes sense, yeah. Because his yacht video was second to that. Your video that has the same thumbnail as one of our videos, right?

Yes, cuz yeah, we do it first. Yeah. Okay Yeah, what? Yeah, no, yeah, I do think he's the nails with back to well, I hate I

where people say, oh, it worked because of this thumbnail. And it's like, well, yeah, it worked now. But if I did the same thumbnail and it doesn't work, you would say, oh, it doesn't work because of this. I'm just being a devil's advocate. What does that mean, by the way? You're talking on the devil's back. Yeah, you're an advocate for the devil. Can I see an official definition here?

I'm a stir the pot. Well, I think like okay the the most I've in one maybe it's cuz I know it's more time But it feels like a second channel video from the get-go because the arrow go on to the things of the arrow the arrow and their font Just makes it seems like a man there. Yeah, I reckon if I had if he has had no fun and no arrow Proportional and I'm not it's also the emotion on the face. Yeah. Yeah. Also. Yeah, I think like obviously mr. Beast's pose that one, right? I

- You gotta remember as well, he is also doing one versus a billion dollar. - I know, hold on, hold on. Whereas we did hide and seek. - I know, I know. Yeah, arguably you made the most out of a smaller concept. I don't care about anything. - A smaller concept. - Yeah, you guys can keep talking, man. Well, talk then. - Hello. - By the way, so I wanted to sip. No, no, no, by timing.

I will say, out of everyone in the group, you know, John and all that stuff. Just John. You do feel the most mysterious. Mysterious? Okay, I'll take that. To the viewers. He knows what I do behind closed doors. What are you? Who are you? What are you? What am I? Hello, I'm James. I remember when I met you all, by the way. I met you all at one of your first game shows.

You were there. Lawrence was there. John was there. I knew John before. Yeah, and you were taking pictures on a Polaroid and shit, and like old film cameras. Oh, yeah. So since that day, I've just kind of known you as the guy who has like old cool cameras. Yeah. So, you know, do you have a film background or do you just have cool cameras? I used to work in like TV and film and...

- Inside of the TV? - Yeah, I know, boo. - Inside the TV. - Like a Men in Black? - Yeah. - Alien. - Yeah, well. - Did you used to accept the DVDs, the VHS? - Yes, that's exactly what I did. - So I pushed the VHS in and you take it out the other side. - Mm-hmm.

Yeah, no, I used to be... What's happened to you? You are in a goofy, silly mood today. Let me stop. I'm being corporate now. Okay, yes. How many GCCs do you have? Oh, at least one. That might answer the question about film and TV, bro. Just hurry up, man. It's taking so long. Also, I do have GCSEs. It's pretty sick, right? How many? Probably all of them.

- Yeah, but how many? Did you do like further maths? Did you triple science? - I did further maths, yeah. - Triple science? - I did triple science too. - Me too. - We didn't have further maths. - You? - We didn't have further maths. - You barely had maths, right? - I had maths. - What about sciences?

- I did two, I think. Not on purpose, I think I told you this before. I was in a classroom I wasn't supposed to be in. I still passed it, so I might drop. - So did you do triple science? - No. - So you weren't even meant to be in the second class. You were meant to do single science. - Yeah, but at my school you chose it. You chose to do triple science. - Okay. - I chose to do product design.

It's nice. - A music, I think. - To be fair, I did product design too. - It's pretty good. - I can't even roast you. - I made a sick bottle and I printed on a label on it. I basically invented Prime in a way. I set the tone on what you can expect Prime to be. - Damn. There we go, guys.

Well, I'll take half of a half of a percent. We'll share half a percent. Hey, listen, if I have to pull your trousers up like I did for Harry, I'll take a percent. You know what? I reckon early days of Prime, you probably could have got like half a percent out of him. Oh, without a doubt. Yeah. If Prime does really well, can I get half a percent? Yeah, yeah, sure. All right, sign here. Anyway, yeah.

- Film camera, yeah, what were you doing with the last one? - I used to be a, I would camera operate, DP. I would- - Oh, that's so funny. - I would- - What? I didn't know what that meant. - It stands for director of photography, but I'd mainly- - Whoa, whoa, whoa, DOP usually, right? - DOP, yeah, but DP is like the American term for it. They just take out the O, I think, I don't know why. - Double penetration. - Double O penetration. - Double O. - Dick or, no, dick or pussy.

- No, I hate that word. Oh, gross. Okay, answer question. - Continue. - Okay, and mostly like, I'd be what, it's called like a second AC, so I'd just help with the camera stuff. And yeah, it was fun. Oh, fuck me. Oh no, no, but that's not my name, is it? That's just going to be for, oh, I'm credited for sorry. - I'm so sorry for that. - No, no, no. - Wait, what?

I shoot for Tommy and Ella sometimes as well. The picture was the big red balls it looked like from Total Wipeout. You're going to drag the... Oh, it looked like Total Wipeout. By the way, drag it back on again. It's a story about a 9.6 rate on IMDb. It's going to itch my nose. Damn. Okay. And it's a TV series. Let's go. But yeah, it was fun for a little bit. But I think the film is three.

once the glamour goes it is kind of just like hard manual labor and everyone's very bitter so I found that like I might be wrong I might just be had a bad experience but like I think a lot of people um you kind of meant to ruin yourself and your body and your life for like four to five years and then maybe you'll get a little bump up in that industry and you'll take that on the next person

And yeah, it was an interesting one. So I think I always wanted, if I was honest, I wanted to do some YouTube stuff. Like I would love to have shot for YouTube videos and groups, but I didn't know it was even a thing. So if you work really hard to like produce something good in TV, and then even if you do that, you're still going to get shouted at by the director and stuff. Whereas if you can shoot for like KSI, he was like, yeah, that's all right. Well, the director is going to take all the credit. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We can also, you can kind of like bully kind of a little bit.

Yeah. So he's like, oh, can you, can you actually do it when Con gets his like angry voice on it's really like, oh yeah, I've, I think I've only seen it once or twice. Mainly directed at John.

He's a good actor though, Con's a good director. No, he's solid. So how did you meet Con? How did I meet Con? I'm guessing you kind of got into... Or did you meet someone else first? Oh yeah. I did meet someone else first. Was it John? That gentleman behind the camera right there. No way. Hello. That's so unfortunate. It's actually... Yeah. So the wild thing is... Something good has to come from it. True, actually. The wild thing is... And I don't know if John knows this either, but... I was stalking him for years. Yes. So...

At that point in my film career, I was really struggling because I'd worked in Berlin for a while for an e-sports team and they sort of disbanded quite quickly. And me and the guys I took out there to like editors, we kind of got fucked over because the company that was sort of making our contracts then disappeared.

And I came back to the UK and I was like, oh, fuck. Everyone I used to work with has kind of found another James. So I'd taken that job. So I met John on a grime video. I thought you were grime. And I wasn't surprised. Oh, look at us. Yeah, we met on a grime music video. You did it again. Grime. There are things that sound like...

Grindr, yes. But yeah, we met on this music video. Do you remember what video it was? It was called Michelle Obama. Was she in it? No, she was not. And this lady rapping about wanting to be like Michelle Obama. And yeah, John was just this guy that was just hanging about, memeing about. BTS. He was BTS. Yeah.

And during lunch, I had played some meme music. Like, I think it was Wii Sports Remix. You were like a meme guy. Yeah, I'm still quite a meme-y guy. And everyone was quite, like, cool on that shoot. They were all like... Even John. Well, this is what I'm saying. Everyone else was ignoring him. It was a little, like, switch here. Whereas John was like...

Exactly. And John sort of came out like, what's going on here? That's so funny. And then we exchanged memes and we joked around for a little bit. Exchanged memes? No, no, no, we didn't exchange memes. We literally did, that's what I said. Well, this is the problem. Which one have you got? I've never seen that one. Well, here's the thing, because we chatted for a little bit. Is that on Reddit? We followed each other on Instagram and then for the next month or two,

he would message me. He's like, you said you were going to send me memes. And he'd be like, where are the memes? This is the worst origin story ever. And then finally, like I buckled and he's like, we should really, we should meet up and talk of memes. And I was like, okay, you know what? Yeah, let's get it. You are so desperate. What the hell? Honestly, by the way, I think, do I,

- Do I follow you? - No, no, you muted me because you said I posted too many bad stories. - No, 'cause I followed, I remember there was a joke that I never followed you. And then I just, such a joke. So then I started following you. And you just started sharing memes on your story. I was like, what is this? Like, why are you doing this? And they're all shit. So I like, I think I unfollowed you. - No, but then when you accidentally fall into the camp of the people that John sends memes,

- Okay. - Oh my God. - No, no, I don't mind that. I don't mind people sending me a meme. But why are you putting it in your story? - Let me show you this. - So it cuts off anyway, right? It shows you 15 seconds of like a 40. I just hated it. But I think I followed you back and I just muted you maybe. - If I go onto Instagram, if I go, no, he doesn't post. John doesn't post them anymore. He just sends them directly. - That's fine, that's fine. That's what you should do. - Okay. - That's a new one. - John Mason. - Someone reading a book. - John, I think sends about,

I think John sends about 20 to 30 memes a day to me. But also, because he refuses to use TikTok, they're all old TikToks that have been re-uploaded on Instagram Reels. That's JJ. JJ does that. Yeah, okay. Well, there we go. He puts a video in and I'm like, bro, it's Insta Reels. It's not new. And John just religiously sends them to me. Like, and I...

He's my five people. But I do feel guilty because I don't know if you can zoom in here. Like, here is my phone. Here is all the messages from John. You have not replied once. Turn it a little bit. There we go. You haven't replied once. There is a very... It's very one-sided. I have friends like that as well. Surely at some point you go...

- Well, he's not replying, he should probably stop. - Oh no, I just know that one day when he's really bored and he can't find anything else, he'll go, "Oh fuck it, I'll have a look." - When I'm near the end. - That only happens when he won't have internet and then he won't be able to load the memes. - No, no, he knows. He knows he's got a good store of memes.

It's like a squirrel. Oh, they're good memes though. They're great memes. Most of them are really offensive. That's the best thing about them. Can you send me some? I'll send you some offensive memes. The one thing I will say, like, John has a very good skill in finding the most niche thing. Like, he can find some very, very strange, like, old guy that's just posting a reel to three people and he will send it to me and he'll be like, look at this, this is funny. John, do you know who Daddy DeMarco is? I don't. I want to know.

When we hit a mill by the guys fucking subscribe now, I'm joking, but please do subscribe Okay, ah now we need a new set and we'll put some headphones in to watch stuff now and then and we can stop putting shit on It's a scene on Tom Segura's podcast if it's jokes said no one knows what you're talking about though Yeah, but if John did then it'd be good. You know explain what is I can't Okay, it's a guy

It's like, no, that's not. Oh, is it the one who's like, you can fuck me, you can meet me, is it that guy? No. What? What is, I'm, all right. But yes, how do we move on? There we go. He was really sick. Met John. It was fun. Came along. He was like, oh, you should meet Con. Con's really good. And I came and met Con. And Con was, me and Con, we shot that video for Con's car, I think.

Yeah, Con's car. We went to this, like, field and we shot Con's car. We were going to pitch on a PewDiePie music video. We were. That's it. PewDiePie was looking for someone to shoot. Which lasagna? No, it was the Cocomelon one. And me and John were like, we could get Con to do this. And also, of course, like, it'll be ticking off our little, like,

I think me and John have got like YouTube infinity stones and we're like, oh fuck yeah, I'm at Pewdiepie that's sick. 'Cause we are little nerds. - I agree with that. - Mini Minter Randolph. - Damn you're almost there. - I'm almost there too when you say my name. - Oh, that is, that's a lot younger of James, Jesus Christ. - What's that on your face? - Glasses.

I agree with that though. Like I have people that I'm in my head. I'm like, Oh, these people, if I could film a video with these people, it'd be sick. Yeah. I think like, um, we had some wild ones recently, but yeah, there was, um, fuck. Oh dear. I look a lot better there. Um,

No. So yeah, we did that video. And then I finally was like, I was like, Hey, I want to get you along for a Sidemen video. And that was, I think that was Harry's 20 versus one. I absolutely fucked it up. I feel like I've known you a lot longer than that. That's crazy. I know a lot of people say. How long ago? About two and a bit years. I feel like I've known you for like maybe four. This is the thing. I think a lot of people have said like, it feels like I've been around for a long way. I don't know if that's good or not. Um,

But yes, we actually get on with some people who you feel comfortable with. You're one of them. Oh, fuck. Yeah. Who's not? Oh, I wonder who that was directed at. No, I actually feel comfortable. Oh, shit. I just saw a photo there. Actually, no. The first thing I ever did was I was BTS for con on JJ's music video when they reshot

Or reshot some bits. What video is that? Domain. Domain. I took a load of photos. Wait, he doesn't have to be... Oh, because... Oh...

He was fighting police officers. Oh, yeah. So, yeah. I was on that and I shot some of that. And then I did this. He is dreading that, isn't he? Look at him. He hated it. It was a really fun video to do, but I did not know how you guys film. So, I turned up being like a little like normal camera boy from like... Yeah. It's easy. I turned up and I had... So, at the time, I had...

It's quite like an expensive camera. It's a red dragon. And it had this big cinema lens on. Like I came in like somewhat flexing. Like, yeah, I got this fucking sick camera. And I set it up and it really doesn't suit how we were filming. All the women just started coming in and you just didn't stop recording. I was like, oh, fuck. And I remember I came away from it and John had messed up too.

How did you mess up? Like the focus was out, like shit like that. And I remember John had messed up. His mic hadn't recorded for a little clip at the end. And he was sitting in his taxi. We were sitting at an Uber and John was stressed. He was like, oh, I already feel bad. I haven't done this before. Con's going to hate me. And I was sitting there quietly like, fuck.

fuck I've also done the same and I was very much expecting to I thought that was it you should have thrown him under the bus you should have said oh his mic wasn't rolling and he was out of focus yeah I should have you know what John told me not to focus and

He said that was something you guys do. So like, yeah. And I remember for a little bit, I was like, oh shit, well that's that opportunity gone. And yeah, some reason you guys got me back. And here I am now. But yeah, I think I would always want to have worked in YouTube if I was honest with myself. I think when you come out of film school, you're always built up to be like, oh, you want to make movies? You want to do this? Fucking YouTube's sick. There is actually...

I don't think you'll know this me and a friend of mine at school had a little YouTube channel where we would make No, we did sketches It's called super moolah I've seen this yours what I know actually I have another one where you reviewed stuff for a very short period of time super moolah spell mo o l a r

Super Moolah. All one word, I think. We didn't realise that Moolah meant money. Here we go. Coca-Cola Revenge is a very young James running when he chooses... Is that you? That is me. It's a little sketch. The whole meme was choosing Pepsi over Coke. And you're about to see... Jesus Christ, look at that guy. So young and full of hope and...

Just everything really life. There we go. Oh shit. I chose Pepsi GoPro in the fridge Wait wait wait and come into Coca-Cola. Wait, wait full fat. Yo, what the fuck guys? Oh my god The Cokes are coming out of the fridge. Oh look he's confused Where have they gone? Ah, no, not why they empty. Oh

Yeah. Hey, listen. Continuity issues. Why would you choose them if they were empty? Okay. Nice shot there. Yep. Little go for on the head. Oh, look, he's running. Just because you could, you never start to realize whether you should. Yes. Okay. Also note, this is like eight years ago, right? You're about to see like a trendsetter. Ready? Oh my God. Trendsetter because where's that shot taken from? That seems quite high, right?

Train yeah, that's right guys. I filmed the drone before it was cool What do you invent drones? No, but like I think oh the whole meme is there you go zero is about to be like zero tolerance or something like that I was gonna say what was annoying me and then our drone shot. Ah, what is cook? Listen, okay, listen, okay, we were young

Oh, sick, yeah. How many views is that one? That is, oh, 37 subscribers. 469. That's a lot of views. We did a little meme on vloggers as well, and that's quite dark, actually. He kills himself at the end. Right. That's really sad. Yeah, that was eight years ago. I was at school, and I think, once again, there was just another, like,

Jack Wales, if you're watching, hey, shout out. Jack Wales. Jack Wales. What were you going to say? I mean, you could just pay for them. That was really good, Randy. Yeah, we did...

- By the way, can we talk about the elephant in the room here? - John. - Simon's new haircut's so nice. - Yeah, and he looks like John. - No. - No. - That's an insult. But no, you know who you look like? You look like a guy. Pull up YouTube, Nick. - Oh no. - No, it's a good thing. The guy's hot as fuck. Chris Williams or nothing? - Would you give Simon a little kiss now? - No. - No? - A big kiss. - I would, but it's gonna be a bit awkward. - Oh, okay, I can see that. - Click it. - Yeah, he's a good looking man. - Yeah, and you look like him. - I don't look like him.

I appreciate the compliment he's got the oh in every video he's got the wired headphones in because he's sick he's got that guy he's got that montane guy on tiktok who's always cutting vegetables you know who knows me tap him sorry sorry let me rephrase this moist critical right or whatever it's called tap him in his headphones annoy me

Because he wears them and they're attached to his PC for about six years now. There you go. Look, look. It's attached to his mic, but there's no way they go up. Can you click a video? He's a man of the people. I love this guy, by the way. There's no shade. But look, see the mic? How it's plugged the headphones into the mic.

you just hate the fact that the wires i don't see the wire yeah he's really cool for wearing his headphones though but i wish the the wire was like yeah but i respect him for just doing the same thing all the time he was one of the infinity stones by the way yeah i met him in uh uh miami i went to miami i don't know uh florida yeah oh yeah and i went to his uh that was a wild experience because like i watched all his videos and then there's me

in his warehouse and like, oh shit. I got to hold the Moby Huge, if anyone knows what that is. I have no idea. He has a massive penis, like plastic. He's ripped by the way. He is ripped. Moby Huge.

Type in ripped. Type in moist, critical, thirst trap. Yeah, do that. Do you know how ripped he is, Simon? Yeah. Can you type in moist, critical, big muscles? He did a video of someone saying, Sneaker. Yeah, it was a sneaker. There we go. So this is the Moby Huge that he made into a bike. This dick's cool, but I want to see him. Yeah, we can't even show this. It's not even a real dick either.

Can you not show it? No, that'll get... Please tap in ripped after his name. Oh, that's... Just please find a photo of him without a shirt for Randy. Please. He needs it. Fuck it, man. He's so ripped. He's jacked. You wouldn't expect it. Why wouldn't you expect it, Randy? Because like... I don't know. I don't know. From what I understand, he just sort of like works out and does videos. That's about it. Yeah. He doesn't fly either. He doesn't fly? He's scared of flying. Oh, really? He's never travelled. I think a lot of Americans are.

Yeah. No, a lot of them just don't have passports. Yeah. They don't need to. But also, I might as well drive there. Because in America, you can just drive there. But it takes like four days. But everywhere, well, you don't need a passport to go fly from Texas to New York. Yeah, yeah, true, true. And it's so varied in America. Yeah, you can go on holiday. You can go from, I don't know, what? Well, yeah, New York or Portland to go like Texas. And that's like a hot holiday.

Whereas we have to go Wigan. Yeah, we do. Or Skegness. Yeah. We don't have to go there. What did you just do? I think you did like, behind the back. Damn. Oh, no. I'll do it in front of you. Yeah, he secretly told me. So, filming for us. Yeah. What is your favourite kind of video to make? Oh, I can tell you my favourite video and that was the road trip across from LA to Vegas. Okay. I...

It's weird because at the time whilst we were doing it I fucking hated it. But looking back on it it's one of the most incredible experiences. Look at this guy. This is how I should be on Sidecast. You were on the bad team the whole time. Correct. Yeah. Do you want to know a little story? Yeah. James was very angry at the end of the day. Why?

because he got left a motel in the middle of nowhere. - Oh, fuck's sake, okay, yeah. Yeah. - Too bad he had every right to be angry. - He got Josh Zircon'd. - No, it was even worse. - 'Cause we went to the motel, which by the way, shady motel in the middle of nowhere in Vegas. - Which motel is not shady though? - Exactly. - But we go there and bear in mind me, JJ and who else was on that team? - Josh.

JJ, Josh and you. Yeah. They were expendable. It sounds. No, I'm just, I'm used to hosting. They were forgettable. Okay. Yeah, sure. We're all in like this awful mood. Everyone is because we're so like hot and sweaty and whatever. James goes in to check into the hotel or the motel, pays the, like however much it was for the room. Right. And then Toby's like, come to the hotel.

So we drive all these. Well, it was even worse than that. It was even worse than that. We knew it was there. No, it's just. Wait, hold on, hold on. So the Josh one was like, he was in the shower. We all left. Didn't know he was in the car. You dropped him off. You let him go inside. And then we started getting out of the car and started like bringing our bags out. And we actually looked at the room and filmed in the room. Yeah. No, so what happened was I collected the key. I went and got you guys into the room. We did our content. And I was like, okay, guys, I'm going to go back.

and give the key back, which also was quite awkward because it was a weird social interaction to go back. Like, we just picked up the key and go, thanks, we're done now. And I didn't want to seem too, like, bougie. I ended up, like, making up a lie. I don't know why. But I was like, oh, yeah, we just needed a shower on a road trip. And the worst thing is, so I had very, very clearly to come being like, I'm taking the key back. By the way, guys, everyone, I'm taking the key back. And...

So I'd been wearing sunglasses all day, which have my prescription in, and it was really dark. So I was like, I'm going to leave these. I couldn't find my actual glasses. So I couldn't see. I had also, the day before, I picked up like a new watch. I got it delivered in Miami. And I had that on my wrist. I was like, that's fine. Like, it's cool. I really liked it. So I was like, this is cool. But it was a shady area. And my phone had died.

So I had everything. It wasn't good. And yeah, I walked back. There I am in the corner and I had the sick cowboy hat on. And yeah, I walked back, gave him the key and I came out and I was like,

I don't see any cars around anymore. And I was like, oh, maybe they've gone round and they've come to pick me up. How long did they go before realising? It was like 20 minutes. And I went back. No, I wasn't. That's so bad, guys. I went back in. I would never do that to you, James. I went back into the office where I'd given the key back. And I was like, can I get that key back? I was like, you haven't got a phone charger, have you? And they're like,

The first time ever, I've been like, I actually don't know what I do here. I don't have my wallet. I don't have anything. I just have me and I can't see. And it wasn't...

helped by the fact that when the car came back and when the cars came back the door opens and it's common the gopro going and i was like okay right you and i get in the car and i was very angry um and you know when you maybe you do know that you overreact but you don't want to just be like

sorry guys i overreacted so i had to kind of like let myself slowly come back into reality again that's hard to do sit there awkwardly like oh i did maybe overreact a little bit but i was i don't think you did i don't think you did over and then on top of that when i finally got my charge back i then had also text from jj being like how we left you so yeah that was uh that was a fun moment it's because we were all in such a bad mood from the trip yes like

We all enjoyed it a lot. And that's actually one of my favorite videos to film. It was so good. We all just were so pissed off with this. This moment here, where you are actually pissed at Toby, it seems like, oh, they kind of are annoyed. You were really annoyed. Like, I remember you lying there for like 10, 15 minutes being like, oh, he's not answering the phone now. And you looked like you were so angry. It's because he goes like, oh.

"Oh, I've got an ending for the video. Text me." And then we go in here and we're like, "Okay, we're in. What do we do now? Phone him." And he just stops, he just doesn't answer. So we're all in this like, look, it's fucking like 11:30 PM. We've been traveling since 8:00 AM and it was fucking hot. - It was unreal. - We were like, "Please let us end this video." - Like I remember when we came to this apartment afterwards,

John and Con were like, guys, we've got this for tonight. It's so cool. I was like, I just don't want anything to do with anyone right now. I want to just be. My social meter is done. Yeah. Like, let me, like this, I know a bunch of us just stood on the basketball court for like hours just throwing a basketball. I was like, with people, I just wanted nothing to do with them. It was, but then I look back on it and it was such an experience. Oh yeah. Like Death Valley, getting out to see the thermometer and actually like,

feeling like your skin crisp it was horrible like i can see it was like 47 to 49 degrees at that point i've never experienced anything hotter um other than your mom um but um yeah it was unreal like it was so it's a big spike on the right oh this is the switch

The switch. I'll never forgive Toby for this. He made us play games in the RV. Oh, and it didn't matter, right? And then, yeah. He literally just went, okay, now you're going to spin a wheel to see who goes on the other team. More reference. Originally, he told me those games were to be played for the switch. I know. Bro, no, no, you can. Toby has a tell, right? When he's trying to think of what to do, his lip quivers a bit.

So here, where he goes, oh, how are the games? He thought they were going to be really close. But I think I won all of them except Mario Kart, which Harry won. And Harry came second in everything. So it wasn't even close. It was like Ethan lost. So we say to him like, oh yeah, it wasn't even close. Ethan's lost. And Ethan's like, yeah, I know. I'm on the other team. We're switching. And you see Toby go...

No, like, that's the order you're spinning a wheel. And I was like, fuck you, Tony. I think we were meant to play I Spy, but I think everyone was so done already. They were like, nah, fuck that. We're not doing this. But going to the little...

cowboy town and everything it was just a lot of fun like it was a really like cool experience i'm happy i went on the bad team you know yeah it was yeah it was a real they were actually like really good vibes yeah somewhat um it's one of the ones where i come away from it and i'm like um i wish i got like more mementos i wanted yeah now i wish i got like a tattoo in vegas because it had been really fun i reckon bad team at the time is probably the worst and months later like actually yeah i think that's the same with most bad teams yeah yeah yeah like when you i've actually never been on

I've been to a cold place once or twice, but a lot of the times when you go to Iceland, that's the cold team or the bad team. Those are always the memorable ones. Oh, yeah. We get to do such insane stuff with them.

With Simon, it's insane. Like that was another thing I will actually add as well. Like, and this is kind of wholesome. Um, back when I used to be like in film and whatever, um, this trip was special for me because so the Vegas one, the America in general, because, um, when I first like started in film, um,

my parents would always be like oh you know one day you'll we're just here and you'll be in in la filming and i was like yeah okay yeah yeah yeah because like the way in which the film industry actually is is i'd probably be like 50 to 60 if that ever came to the point where if you're in the film industry they go we should take this person out with us because they just get crew out there yeah you don't travel for work really it seems glamorous but you don't and um

I remember being like, oh, yeah. But the outsider perspective of cinema is like, oh, you're working in L.A. That's where everyone goes to whatever. So, yeah, then cut to actually being in L.A. for actual filming. It was like a really cool like, oh, shit, this is it's nice. You feel like, yeah, appreciate it. But instead of filming Tom Cruise, you're filming KSI's penis.

Correct. Someone would say... Would you not? No. You'd rather film Tom Cruise? Than KSI's penis, yeah. Damn, that says a lot about you. Then again, maybe he's seen so much of KSI's penis, it's not special anymore. What a break. I do want to see Tom Cruise smile.

Well, speaking of traveling with the Simon videos, the video that has gone out this weekend. Oh, yeah. This comes out. You traveled to Ayia Napa. Woo! Napa, baby! Let's go! You were on that team. I was on the bad team. And it was... Do you know what? We actually had a really good time. The bad team always does. I'm really hoping. There is a section of that video that I'm hoping isn't in the video. Oh, okay.

which is Harry went to the toilet. His cock. And then I went to the toilet.

And then Vic goes in there. Ah, yes. And the combination of the two of us going, Vic goes, that's horrible. And then everyone was like, oh, it's James, wait. And yeah, it wasn't fun. No, we just... Wait, wait, wait. So as in someone had a shit? Yeah. And they blamed it on you? Yes. Okay. And I'm hoping, hopefully it's not in the video, but yeah, that's part of the Napa trip. I was like...

Oh, that's fun. That's going to be a fun meme. Harry and Josh in the shower together. Oh, yeah. Now that is not going to make it in. Probably not, right? There'll be a section, I think. Yeah. You might want to rephrase that because you said it in the shower together makes it sound a lot. I mean, Harry's like...

I've seen multiple parts of Harry. He's in the shower and then Josh just, his GoPro's like on his ball sack. Well, yeah, so we go, so to put context to it, so we were doing, yeah, we were doing Napa the way a lot of people do Napa, which is, Napa is quite nitty from what I understand. Where is Napa? Explain. Where is Napa? It's in Cyprus. Thanks. There we go. And we did it in like one of the,

It was quite run down. It was like the classic place that lads that go to Napa were like, oh, don't worry, lads. We'll have three beds next to each other. If one of us pulls, just sit in a corner. Simmo's Magic Hotel. Simon without the S at the end. And it was a hovel. And it had a very tiny run down bathroom. And they all... Vic... In our pre-drinks, Vic did his teeth.

Josh was having a shit and Harry decided he was going to shower. It looks nice until you see the room. Oh, no, that is the beach resort one. They have two. Oh, yeah, you need the one on the strip. The strip one is different. It is built different. I think it is that one. That is the one there, yeah. There we go. Now, even the photos here look kind of nice. Like in comparison, it was...

- But this is what JJ thought our villa in Italy looked like. - It was something, I will tell you that. - What's that? - That's the strip, that's the bar opposite. - No, that is the bar opposite, which is Senor Frogs. - I was thinking, I was gonna say that, man. Okay, bless, bless. - But yes, and I think, I don't, the worst thing is that little clip that we're talking about, I don't think any of us is really drunk.

That is mainly sober. And yeah, I think Harry made the decision that he was like, I won't show shaft, but he turns around, he's like, ball shot. And yeah, it was a nice little meme. So you don't know about this video because it hasn't, like, you know, little bits. Yeah, I've just seen the chat stuff. But,

It worked out perfectly. So this was my video. Firstly, annoying because it's come after a Josh video with the big, small cars. And that's a two out of 10. And everyone's like, Josh should host every video. And then the next week,

It's me hosting. This should be a bang on it. It should be. From what I've heard. But one of the things that actually happened, just speaking of that, we went and I met the others and the good team at a golf course. There was three fans there. And they come over and they're just like, yo, are you filming a video? Oh my God. Can we get a picture? Yeah. We take the picture and they're like, oh shit, is this a Josh video? I went, oh no, it's mine. And they went, oh, cool.

I was like, we're creating the stigma. No one else can take a video now. But yeah, I chose. So I spun a wheel for the teams. I'd already chosen Ionappa in Switzerland and the teams worked, I think, perfectly because you can't put KSI in Ionappa. He's getting destroyed. And also the fact Vic was there for the DJing part. Oh yeah. Yeah, yeah. And then... A, there's DJ Star.

Oh, yeah. Oh, this bit as well. Harry is. Oh, so Harry absolutely fucked it as well. Yeah. Vic had a really good vibe going. And Harry goes, gets the mic. And he was really excited for this. And he goes, everybody from London, make some noise for K.M.

And then nothing happened. And the audience is like sitting there waiting and then Vic just puts them on the track and they're like, okay, right. And the vibe was so good up to that point. And he had to regain them again for a little bit. Yeah. So yeah, the bad team went Iron Appa and firstly you went to the Cactus Park and Sculpture Park. Thrilling.

I've never seen Josh sweat so much It was actually like Oh it was boiling out there Unhuman what was happening More than the Vegas? It's weird like Vegas was dry heat This was like humid heat And I think I saw things like pouring down Josh's face He's so wet I should have gone to this one

- And then after that, you went back to the hotel and then you went to, you had your boat. - Yes. - Which was good. It was like a small boat with a slide on. - The thing is, the boat was actually kind of nice. - I mean, we chose it as like a, it looks like a bit of a toy.

- Yeah. - 'Cause it's like this big yellow slide and stuff. - What was beautiful was as we were walking up to it, a sort of a party cruise came in and they were convinced it was a party cruise that was going on. They were terrified because of course, yeah, that was very much like, that's the exact opposite of what Harry would ever want. But yeah, no, the boat was actually really cool. We got Harry jumping from cliffs.

They were all really nice. I think the family that owned it were Sidemen fans. But they were really wholesome about it. So it was really cute. And then you went on the night out. Did you do the tasks? Because I tried to set a task for each of them because Vix was the DJ. Yes. I wanted them to go to do karaoke at Tommy's because of Josh and Tommy T. And so

Senor Frogs for Harry? Did you do the tasks? That's a very good question. Because at this point, by the way, so far in advance, I haven't even seen a draft. I meant to have it today. So the worst thing is, so on these sort of videos, I mean, the tasks don't really matter. Yeah, there is a task, um,

Fatigue yeah, and I feel like it's very hard. Do you know as well? It's so hard to say no It's so hard to be the camera guy who like because the camera guy when you're on the holiday videos You can't just you're not just like camera. You're also kind of producing a little bit. Yeah, and making sure things happen and when you've got Josh on a holiday video that isn't a Josh holiday video is

it is so hard to keep to the schedule because you're like nah I wouldn't do that if I was you I'm like oh okay like we did a few of the tasks but like the outfits and whatever they didn't do they just kind of accepted that we were going to be mobbed on a night out and like see what we could actually do and

And I'm Josh trying to brew in my video. I see you Josh. That's actually now everyone's gonna be like this is shit toss should have done what Josh said Next time you do a Joshua you should say no Josh just nothing if I'm not doing his task Yeah, he likes it. No, cuz then I'll be complaining and over in the video actually I actually really enjoyed it other than the heat the heat and also the time so where is Cyprus I

- Thanks to Grace. - Of course, of course, Cypriot, right? - So whenever we do these, right? We always book another hotel nearby that's a lot nicer. - The old JJ, the old JJ method. - Well, we do it 'cause it's like,

- This one especially, we were like, okay, the hotel they're on, firstly it's shit, secondly it's on the strip. So the likelihood is they are seen going into the hotel. And that ended up happening. - This might be, by the way, one of my top five Simon clips of all time. - The one of the- - The way Vic pulls the curtain. - It's just like 30 people going,

And even better, like they then try to close it and the curtain moves the other side. It's weird because you can't hear them. You can't see them. And as soon as it opens, it's like... But I've seen a fan's view of...

And you can see through the curtain. They can see through the curtain. They're just filming it and then Vic moves it. It's like they can just see a bit better. Yeah. Although, well, I guess because when you're further away, those curtains are quite... Yeah, yeah, yeah. But also it's bright on the inside so the light will come through the curtain. This guy films. This guy films, you know. Jeez, he films. By the way, for reference, Cyprus is not near Greece. It is below Turkey. I was wrong.

Yeah, it's quite Harry kept saying it's all the way how's it is next to Greece not really next to Greece I mean I can't that is next to Greece Yeah, it's not never eat show the wheat it's the most West that was Support Watford to a face you never do that. Yeah

Never, ever sing... Wheatus. Yeah, don't do that. Thanks, Matt. No, Wheatus goes off. I was really struggling. I saw Wheatus live once. Wow. Holy... Her name is Noelle. 27. Sick.

Sick. Oh, jeez. There is me as well. There is us in the club. So I went in Iron Apple for the next video, question mark? No, no. No, they're for piss up. Actually, I mean, that sounds fun. But yeah, I think that side went really well. Yeah, I think it did. I think we got some really good vibes. Them following us back was sick. Like, it was chaotic and...

what I think we needed. I was up till, I was up till about six. So we were an hour ahead, I think. And I was up till like four, five, 6am just trying to convince them to film the next morning. Cause they had all said that was a perfect ending. And I was like, yeah, but we have stuff tomorrow that's good to film and it won't make sense if you don't have any footage. So I'm like, guys, look,

Even if you just have a hangover day, but film. I'm like, please. You were in Switzerland. So I went to Switzerland. But you didn't sleep until six. So you got up at six. So we went, so our day was like, we did golf first. I met them on the golf course. What a dream that would be. Then we went, then we had like some, a classic car and a Lamborghini. But it was freezing, like freezing.

Really? Horrible, yeah. But still very nice. Then we went, we got a gondola up to a Michelin star restaurant. Private. Just to clarify, I'm hearing all the things I missed out on. Yeah. Yeah. And then we went to the spa, had a massage and like filmed all that. What kind of spa did you get? Massage. Really? Yeah. Nice. Damn, that's really cool. And then the next morning we had a bike ride.

Tandem bikes or just normal bikes? E-bikes. Because we were going up into the mountains. E-bikes, yeah. E-bikes.

- That sounds quite dangerous. - Oh, yeah. You might know, you might understand that. And then the last thing was a lunch in front of like a lake over a mountain with some outporn players. - What? - Yeah. - Some what? - Outporn. But yeah, when I was, not outporn. - Yeah, I was like, whoa, get me involved. - But yeah, in the nighttime we finished the spa, went back to our rooms and Ethan and Toby immediately just fell asleep. And I think I sent you up there, right? - Cute.

Did you end up getting footage? No, I tried to convince them to use the vlog cams to do stuff. Yeah, it was one of those like they had the massage finished before me and JJ and then just went like, yeah, we're going straight to sleep. I was like, bro, please. But yeah, then I got a text saying like, oh, we've had all this stuff. Our rooms got like surrounded by fans. They've broken in. We've had to evacuate. It's like a perfect ending. And I was like, yeah, but.

I need some footage tomorrow, please. Did they? Yeah, it's very bare bones, but we get something. We went and we bought some stuff for the boys and whatever. But yeah, to be fair, we'd actually planned the next day to wake up and...

go to like the shops in Napa and to do that, go down like the strip. Um, but DJ, uh, DJ Vick style was on his DJ things. And, um, we were like, has anyone seen Vick this morning? I did see the chat. Yeah. Like 10 minutes before we're meant to actually like leave for the airport. He sort of arose from his bedroom. Um, must have like a crazy night. To be fair though, it was, that was possibly one of the longest days we filmed. Um, cause I was three. Yeah. I was up at four. I was up at two.

and I didn't sleep properly up at two headed out I think we flew our flight was at like six yeah and we probably finished filming and I think I got to bed at like four or five a.m. because I left a lot of time though where like the cactus park yes I literally said like look if you guys are tired skip this have a nap there's a thing I don't think we were I don't think we were in a nappy vibe because I'd said you're in a napper vibe and I think I'd I'd said to them like by the way we can nap but they

I think it was one of those cases if we'd napped we probably would have been even more fucked yeah so yeah we just saw it out and it was really good I think it's gonna be a big vibe video it looks like I mean from what I saw all of the clips it seemed like a very oh my god you just clocked it now no no but I clocked what you clocked what he said no no

What did you say? He said they're dangerous. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Okay. About time. He's a bit slow. Yeah. He's on 200 ping. So we had... I was in the group chat for both teams and it was so funny because the good team, before they knew what team they're on, they just didn't talk. They're like, okay, cool. What time is our car? Okay, cool. Done. Whereas the other team are literally there the whole time going like, where is it? So...

uh harry says on the tuesday at 8 30 p.m he's like just so you all know i am so very optimistic for tomorrow josh goes i will be bringing the same vibe this is my time harry says reacts before with simon i could almost feel the smile through discord josh said it hasn't happened for me yet but this one will be the one harry says he set us up for a corker and then cut cut to the next day

He'd just go at 5am, this is the worst one ever possible. How could you do this to us? I'm on my knees. No, this is just like, he realised that. They clocked quite early. So they got there and Harry and Josh are standing around and they're looking at the board.

I think Harry had probably done his Harry thing, which is where he looks at what flights are flying out around that time. And I think Josh had somewhat clocked that. He knew Larnaca. Larnaca, that's it. And he was like, I think it could be one of these. And Harry's like, no, you wouldn't do that. You wouldn't do that. Wouldn't say it was an effort. And they kept writing it off. They're like, no, because it's a five hour flight. We wouldn't do that. No, it won't be an effort. Don't worry.

And then when they see it's Napa, it's like, oh, it's the worst one. It's the worst one. It's school holidays. It's everything. Like, we are going to, it's going to be the worst one. The thing is, though, it's actually like... By the way, you know, this always happens on the podcast. Like, these ones where we talk about videos that aren't out yet are ones I probably would watch. Yeah. It's just annoying. Because, like, I can be like, yeah, guys, I saw this one too. As much as it is, like, the worst one.

It's actually one, there's nothing bad in it. It's just, you're going to be surrounded by people a lot. Yeah. But there's no, there's no like punishments. There's no forfeits. There's no, nothing like that. It's just a, no squash balls to the back. No.

Well, I actually had one moment where, so I went to Switzerland, obviously. Oh, they're a good team. Convenient. Hey, that's the benefits of hosting. I know, I know, I'm joking. But there was one bit where I'm sat at the airport and I'm there with Johnny BTS and we're sat looking at the board to see what our gate is. And the exact same time, there's a flight to Larnaca, gate 5A, and a flight to Switzerland, gate 5B.

And I'm literally like these two doors, same time. I should have bought a ticket to both. And on the day have to spin a wheel. Yeah, it'd be sick actually. So even better, the copium was incredible because they were then sitting there like, okay, Larnac, Larnac. Maybe it's like a bluff. They were- I did think about that. They looked, they were even going like, no, no, no, wait, wait, wait, wait. Cause look in the calendar,

JJ is going to Lanaka on Friday and JJ only goes to bougie things or bougie things They're like he must be going somewhere. Maybe we're going to same place. Maybe we're going to same place and they were desperate Until we arrived at Simoes There's also yeah, so

JJ went to Switzerland the weekend before. So I was like Switzerland and he was meant to go to Cyprus the week after. So I was like, those work perfectly. Also eight years ago, I think it was seven years ago on the day we landed, we were in Ayia Napa. So I was like, this is so like, it's gotta be, it's gotta be like this. It was really good. And actually like, I think Vic's set was sick.

It went off really well. And the crowd was really good. I mean, yeah. We were really lucky with them. It was Encore. Yeah. They just said straight away, like, yes, we'll have him. Yeah. Because a lot of places were hesitant. Crazy, isn't it? They would be hesitant now. Yeah. I think it was, they're quite like hip hop and whatever there. So I know that Vic at the start, like he arrived and like the DJs that were there before weren't particularly like,

They were still nice, but it's like, oh, okay, you're going to play like Vic's style of music. Did you tell him to prepare to do a set? I messaged Ellie. We were talking to Ellie and we were like, he has to have it on him. Make sure he takes it into his suitcase. It was close to what was happening. If I was Vic, I'd just travel all the time with it now. I think he puts it in his wallet most of the time. Or, yeah, I'll just Dropbox, you know? Yeah. Dropbox to it. Then you just buy a USB out there if you need it.

But yeah. Vik, let me know if you want me to give you a code for Dropbox, man. You can also use Google Drive if you wish to. Will you transfer? Probably not. Can I have a link that stays there all the time? Yeah. Talk to me. Got storage. That's enough aside then, Sunday. Hell yeah. What is this? Oh my god. Yeah. Wow, Vik's doing a vlog. Iron app vlog. Funny enough as well. Which one is this? Which was...

Was this that one? Oh, there's Joe Sugg in that. So it was this one, yeah. As I was leaving, I went on TikTok and someone on TikTok had been like, oh my god, look, I'm staying at the Sidemen house in Inappa. As we were leaving, I was like, oh, I'd have been sick to go by there and just be like, hey guys. Look at you guys. You're all so happy about having a nice house. He almost reached to the side of the pool. Oh, look at this big peak. Oh wow, yeah, I know why.

Men shirtless. Right. Oh wait, hold on. How old are you guys at this point? They're still, they're around here. Damn. No. Okay. Well, that's enough of Sidemen. James Frames and modern day Versace. Yeah, I was trying to work out this one. Didn't he die on some shit? He was murdered, yeah. He murdered, okay, sick. Well, hopefully not. John's trying to get his way. You applied. Yeah, here we go. Okay, yes. To work.

for ollie white what's wrong with that yeah no this is an example of like how i was like so into yeah what so into the idea of working in youtube is in the bad times where like i didn't have a lot of work i remember like scrolling through like last or all those things and there was one like applicant or application for like ollie white's videographer and i remember being like

I get to work for YouTube. What the fuck? That's sick. I've always wanted to do that. And I applied and I didn't hear back. And I remember that was like my little pipe dream. I was like, oh, well, there was my opportunity to work in YouTube. That's a shame. Oh, well, I mean, I could have been doing. Oh, actually, is he? That could have been doing like 24 hours working at McDonald's videos. I mean, sick. And now I'm here. And that's wild to me as well. Is that like that was like.

the smallest little pipe dream of like, oh, that was the chance to work in YouTube. Oh, well, back to being abused for money. But yeah, and then little did I know that two years later, I'll be here chilling about. Well, actually, it's now like four years later. But you know what I love about James, right? We used to go to like parties and stuff and events and he always like sends you a link of Dropbox with his film photos.

Yeah. That's a cool thing. So that's another thing. So I purely take photos on film. No, I'm being serious. People take photos. Josh does it all the time. Josh takes so many photos. You never get them. That is true. I mean, if you ask him, he'll get them to you eventually. But you always DM people. Here's the links. And it's not just you either. It's everyone. The reasoning for these is... So I didn't like the fact that...

when I hang out with friends or whatever, I take photos on my phone. First, you take photos on your phone and you don't ever look at them again. True. I have thousands upon thousands of photos. Everyone that says they do, they do. Liar. Oh, without a doubt.

- Yeah, you might look at them once. - But I don't also like the fact that you're out with friends and you do like a little Instagram or whatever, a little video and it doesn't feel genuine. - No. - So I bought like a digital camera and I started taking photos when we were hanging out, just having fun. So that is memories.

And even that, because like my friends knew I could then send those files to people when we sat down for lunch. Yeah. Like it took you at the moment, like everything. I feel like if you're having a good time, you take your phone out and you take a photo that takes you out of the moment of having a good time. It's not as genuine anymore. Yeah. Because you're like, oh, I should get this for other people. And then you look at it and you go, oh, you're sick. It's like that meme of like going around the table and everyone goes, ha ha.

Yeah, it's less natural as well because if you have an iPhone and take a photo, you'll be like, oh, that was not good enough, let's do it again. And then you got a pose and it's fake. Whereas if you take one on your disposable or film or whatever, then it's flash one and then you gotta accept it. Whatever that photo is, you have to take it. Hey, there we go. What kind of fucking timing was that, man? What the fuck, man?

but like, yeah, I would take the nice thing about this little film camera. You take a photo, Hey, um, you take a photo and then backing your bag because Hey, you might see this in two weeks or I, I got a guy that I work with in common garden. It's sick. Hey, shout out Stu. Um, his niece, I believe is a massive Sideman fan. Um, I believe, uh,

I thought you were about to Google Stu. Yeah, shout out Stu. And they do my photos so quickly. Yeah, yours get them back straight away. And it's just quite a fun little vibe. And it's kind of my like... It was my way of like documenting life without like losing the vibe at the moment. I feel like I haven't done much recently though. Yeah. There haven't been many events. I also like... There are a couple of parties that... So...

It's become a more common thing amongst our group of friends and whatever. And I don't really want it to feel...

Want it came from a very genuine place. I don't want parties to make to make you guys feel like it's like I can photo shoot No, that's what that's what you like. If there's like three or four people with cameras taking photos. It just becomes yeah You like James we like your photos. Well, they're also photos as well We know you're not using it as like a you know when people just put their phone up and start recording. Yeah Simon in a club where it just they sweep around they stay on you. Yeah

Oh, no way. Yeah. Like it's... It's in my photo. But it's fun. Like it's a nice way of being able to... And what I really like as well is I can like...

when I get them developed sometimes and now I'm not taking as many I get them developed and I'm like oh shit I forgot about that moment that happened so it's a lot of fun and that's my little vibe well I saw some of the photos there you've been filming for some rivals of ours yes I have sorry correct oh yes sorry yeah

You know, there's a little meme. So what... I don't get it. Because I swear half of them don't live in England. Correct. So they just kind of like come over and... We bulk film. Okay. I don't fully... I don't film constantly with them because our schedules don't work that way. But yeah, so...

Me and John used to do a lot of Tommy's second channel, which was his vlog stuff. And that all came about because I shot the one with him and when JJ taught him to ride a bike. And we were like, oh, this is kind of fun. Do you know what I would say? I think like Sorry and this style of stuff have a lot more of like the old school YouTube vibe of just like, should we just go here and film a thing?

So it's kind of like the best of both worlds because Sidemen shoots have become a lot more organized and like costume, not costume, but like set designers and like lighting team and set building team. And like it is biggest, like we have huge crews now, like it is akin to normal like film productions.

um so this is like a nice it's a it's a fun vibe to just turn up with like a backpack with a camera in it and film and see and so the sorry stuff they uh it's a bunch of them they're kind of doing like i from what i understand from what i understand they do their sort of minecraft style role play stuff in irl they're just like fucking around as friends and um

It's improv, from what I understand. And they just have a very loose idea of what they want to do. And then do videos. This is a... It's not as like... I'd argue we don't film it as pretty as like a... Hey, here's a really beautiful shot. It's like documentation, but also like memes and see what happens. It's a nice... It's a really fun-like thing to do.

And it's just interesting seeing different groups of YouTubers, to be honest, working with different people. Who's better to work with? Oh, I don't know if I can say that. Do you know what? I will say... Sorry then. They are...

No, they are a lovely group to work with. The Sidemen stuff, we get to do a lot of wild stuff. And I love you boys. So they're nice people. John, do you do this? Do you shoot this stuff or not? I haven't shot a sorry video yet, no. So would you say that's why you enjoy it more? I think he's just like... Well, James is also the con of the sorry people. He's the con.

- I wouldn't say I was the con-con. - He's his own guy. - He's the big guy. - He's his own guy. - He's the James. - Yeah, con's the James of sorry. - He's the big guy. - But yeah, like it's a lot of fun. I think it's fun just having variety. Like the Sidemen stuff is so sick and I think it's a lot. Oh, what's this? Oh yeah, this one's robbing a bank. - It's fine, you prefer them, that's what. - No, I actually- - Who's the worst?

Sidemen to film with. And also, who's the worst? Sorry, remember to film with. Who's the worst Sidemen to film with? Oh, here we go. Oh, okay. I would say there wasn't a worst Sidemen to film with. Oh, shut up. Until... Although, some Sidemen... If I really had to pick... Some Sidemen I've really enjoyed recently. A little meme...

At my expense. I don't think it makes it into the video, though. The worst thing is... Do you want to explain this? No. Exactly. I don't want to explain it. I want to know this. But the worst thing is it doesn't really get into the video, which is even worse. Because it's just sometimes suggested. It is way better that it's not in the video. So, okay. The meme is...

During the road trip in Switzerland, Ethan decided it was a very funny thing to like, as I was holding a camera up, go, oh, look at that, James. Because based on the fact that last year, like a year ago or so, we did Drinking One Colour. And to this day, I am still ribbed for the fact that they go, oh, look, there's a helicopter there. Oh.

And I filmed the fucking helicopter. And I always film the helicopter. But I was so quick, they didn't even see me film the helicopter. So to them, it looked like they went, oh, look, there's a helicopter. And I just continued filming them and never filmed the helicopter. And they fucking ribbed me so much. But you did film the helicopter, actually. I did. Oh, I didn't know that. I did. And there are... I wasn't in this, by the way. Every time Ethan says anything, like, oh, look...

like oh look at that I make sure I go like this and get whatever it is he's spoken about and now he knows that so he goes oh look at that James and I film it and it's a school and he goes you can't go here and I'm like oh fuck sake and it's more and more of a meme and he keeps doing it and and yeah

Ethan and Simon enjoys this meme too now. - It's a funny meme. It's a funny meme. - And it's slowly, it's slowly just gonna insinuate itself everywhere. - You said that you like memes at the start of this podcast. - You love memes. - Oh, you know what? I love a meme. - I haven't filmed a Simon video in so long, you know. But I'm doing two. I'm so excited. - Cool. - Are you not excited? - Yeah. - You're not excited.

I mean, I do all of them. I know, but then we'd do that thing. Oh, yeah. But these two videos haven't been planned yet. Yeah, that's why it's even better. I don't know which one you're talking about. Where are we going away for two days to film two videos in two days? I don't think I looked at the calendar. Fuck. I'll tell you after. I can't wait. I'm going to say some fucking so outrageous stuff that gets cancelled out of the video. Well, not cancelled. They removed out the video. Why? Right. Because it's just fun, man. No, it'll be in the video.

I just can't wait. What's happening to you right now? I'm so tired. Okay. He's tired and he's in a goofy, silly mood. That was a fun video as well. That was a fun video. As much as I got roasted throughout. There are a lot of comments of like, poor James just being roasted for an hour and a half. The chocolate on the seat as well. This is a new pair of those same trousers because it just wouldn't come out by the way. Nice socks by the way. Oh, actually yes. Nice socks. So I did this because I knew that it's a staple of the... So ready, ready? Look.

- It is. - How high did it go? - That is, wait, wait, what? - That is, these are good. - That's a unicorn fighting a narwhal. - Oh, God. - Yeah. See? - What is that going on? - Can you show us me and Simon this one? It's the same thing. - Yeah, we couldn't see that side. - I'm really confused at how high these are. - I know. - Wait, is a narwhal just a water unicorn? - Yeah, but yeah. - It's real. - But they're real, yeah. - But I can't see one. - Unicorns could be real. - Why aren't unicorns real?

- Do you know what? We need to really get into this. Why aren't unicorns real? - Can we have a moment of silence for how dumb that question was? - No, but why aren't, like who made that up? 'Cause like, you know, obviously dragons aren't real. Are those little Komodo dragons real? - Yeah. - But like big ones aren't real. Wow. Unicorns are real if you count the narwhal. Well, that's just not true. They've got big sticks. - Well, that statement is true 'cause unicorns are real if you count the narwhal. - But what is a unicorn?

- The narwhal, if you count it. - Well, yeah, everything if you count it. - Everything's a narwhal, really. - 10,000 years ago, unicorns did in fact exist. They were just hideous and I'm sending Nick the picture, but yeah, they were. - I bet they didn't look like horses with the nice sparkly horns. - What is that thing on its head, the narwhal?

Is it its beak? Is it its horn? The horn. For what? For stabbing salmon? Salmon? Anyone know? No. No, I don't. Yeah, could be. I'll have to watch a YouTube video later. I'm really interested to know. There we go. Oh, that's... No, that's not as beautiful as you'd expect. So the good news is unicorns were real bad news is they were hideous. That's more like a rhino. Yeah. I wouldn't really call it hideous though. Like, who are you to say that looks hideous? Damn, you know what, Randy? Yeah. 2023. Yeah. Well, well. Just life.

Animal beauty standards are too high. If you could go back... Sorry, you sound like you're going to say something better than I was. Well, I was just going to stick on the topic and basically point out that you never really answered the question. Who's the worst side man? You can be honest here. It's a safe space. No, because... Do you know what as well? We all have PTSD from the Who's the Meanest video. Because for a good few weeks afterwards, Harry and Vic were horrible to us. Not horrible. They were just like...

It was like we'd burnt friends. They got voted the meanest. Harry was... Harry can be mean when he's drunk. I think he was first voted by us or second voted by us or something like that and Vic was like fourth or fifth.

And then he got moved up massively to first and second, him and Harry. Because of crew. Vic was particularly... We were like, ask everyone in the room who's the meanest. Vic was particularly pissed off as well because we hadn't put him meanest. We'd put him second meanest. So it wasn't like we were making it as a meme. It was more like, well, people are going to just expect it now because they're like, oh, Vic's a secret mean guy. Um...

I think it mainly was a meme as well. It's, um, I think they've, they've, oh, what's this? It's a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy. Okay. You said it was mean, so he became mean to you.

Damn, yeah. He's now the mean one. But no, they're all lovely. You're all lovely. Who's the best to film for then, James? Who's the best? Simon Minter is the best to film for. I know I'm not. No, no, you are very wholesome. No, of course you are. I'm not the best. Which other side man? I'm definitely not the worst. Which other side man currently has done a spend for the crew video? That's true. Yeah, out there. Who has done that? Yeah. Yeah.

Hey, I'm looking at you, the rest of the Sidemen. Do a spin for the crew. No, um... Even had to fake it for John. Damn, yeah. He got to the end of the time and bought nothing. And then he added a mattress that didn't fit his bed. That is another... That is another one of the most, like, YouTube things that's happened to me. Like, it's a very...

I've said to a lot of friends, like the last two to three years have been so surreal because I've essentially ended up in a place that I would never have even expected. And no, it is kind of wholesome. Like, yeah, that's how I look. Have you ever worn this shirt outside, this jacket outside? No.

That was also, this entire day was so- - You returned that one, right? - I did. - Yeah, he returned that one. He returned it. He said like, "Am I allowed?" - Mainly, I felt so guilty about spending that amount of money on stuff I didn't care about. I guess it's something that happens during those sort of videos. Although nowadays, with the Barbie movie, I wish I still had that because to go to the screening with that would have been sick.

But yeah, that was an interesting video to film because I had, I think I've said it so many times in the video, but I think I was also panicking so I didn't really know how to speak. I had sat during lockdown with friends on Discord and we'd watched, I think we'd even watched your original video of it before I even knew you, before I even like followed any of this. And we'd gone like, do you know what would be funny is like a little meme if we all just...

should we just plan what we would do with that and i had somewhere deep in my notes what i would spend really like money on if i ever did that

mainly as like a little like funny exercise that we did because I never knew that I'd ever be in this situation. So when it actually happened to me, it was the most frustrating thing because I had no idea what, and also everyone else got to do on the computer. I was meant to do it in Harrods with you. Yeah. I didn't even know this is the problem. You, you've been really sneaky about it. You'd gone, Oh, um, just like, yeah, if you could,

come along. I want to do a video. If you want to come along, that'd be fun. I was so close to like cancelling twice because you were like, I'm along still. And I was like, he's so insistent on me coming along. So when you'd gone like, oh, Harrods can't do it. Where can we go? And I was like, I have no idea. I'm just going to tell him like an area. I really want to do it. Like I would happily do this video again. It's just...

The online side of it is just kind of dead. Yeah. Like, it's okay, but... I get that, like, the frantic energy of mine was quite good. Yeah. But I'd love to do it in one big store. I feel like online you buy more boring stuff as well, because you think, like, what can I do with, you know? Whereas if you're in, like, a department store, you're only going to buy clothes. Online I could just, like, rattle off, like, oh, that, that, that. Yeah, and even toothbrush. Yeah, like, I'll buy an iPhone. I'll buy this. Yeah, yeah. Whereas, yeah, I want to find, like...

I want Selfridges to just let us start on the top floor and just be like, right, can I have 25 minutes of just, I can film. There can be other people there. It doesn't even need to be out of hours. I can just, can I film? Hear that, Selfridges? You hear that? Or Harrods? The CEO of Selfridges or Harrods? Harrods was very close to letting us. They have before, haven't they? Because I had, that was it. Yeah, we made that spend for fans. I had a friend of mine who was a personal shopper there. So she helped us like film.

And yeah, hopefully we'll be able to do that one day. Who knows? Can we talk about the top of the house and everything else as we were both going to do? Yeah, sure. So if you teleport back into like 200 AD, no, not even that. Sorry, not even that. Like if you teleported back to when that unicorn was kicking about, what would you do? What would I do? Like if you had all the knowledge of today and some technology as well. I have this little like, when I watch like,

There was a film called Ironclad back a while ago that was medieval, lots of fighting. And I have a little fantasy where I'm like, imagine not fantasy, if I ended up back in those days where everyone just stabs each other and fucks with each other with swords, but I teleported back, how sick would it be going back like a heavy machine gun? Imagine being like the god. Like they're all running with a little sword. You'd only be a god as long as...

You had bullets. But like after a while, they're going to think you're a God and they're like, okay, right. We should probably fuck off now. Like I've just seen him mow down 300 people. Maybe we shouldn't carry running up with sticks. The battle of Hastings is like, it's just, you know, it's done in 10 minutes. James frames. Maybe that might be a bit psychopathic. Yeah. I was like, but no, but on a real, if you were back then, what would you do? I'd like to know. I think I'd probably get like dysentery and die. Um,

You can't die because you know you've got... Okay, what would you do? Okay, here we go. Because ultimately you have the knowledge of stuff but you don't know how to make any of it. Listen, listen. I'm not going to invest in Bitcoin in 2,000 years. I'm not sure what number these years are because they didn't start counting back then.

but I'm saying go back to like caveman days not like the 1920s caveman days but you go back you have your iPhone you have a way to charge it infinitely forever it's always charged okay well you're already adding stuff in yeah it's my question but you asked us it without this I'm changing it now I'm changing it you've got infinite power bank you've got infinite power bank in your phone you've also got one connection to the internet and it's just chat dbt so you have to do you have to chat dbt dbt

and you have that power, what would you do? - I don't think I'm doing anything. I think I'm just sitting down and crying until I die. - How to kill myself. - Hey chat GPT, how can I kill myself with just a rock? - Okay, well you guys. - What are you doing? - What are you doing? Go on, Mr. fucking brain. - I'm getting down there and I'm going,

Hey chat, do you busy? I probably wouldn't say that part. I'd go like, how can I become, how can I, I'd ask the question, put yourself back into the time when this, you know, is this, this is the life. How would you become the emperor of everything?

The ruler of the world. And it'd be like, you know, first, scurry and find some rocks and some peanuts. Wouldn't you have done that? Scurry? Yeah, like hunter and gatherer. You know, scurry up some, like, food, you know? And then go and find the nearest caveman and give him food, you know? And then make him think that you are his leader. Just one caveman. You're going to find one caveman. So you're going to go... He'll go find a cavewoman. You're going to go be a gatherer and try to tell the...

man how to live in those times. In the times where it was full on like

hunter-gatherer roles. Not even like communication type Titans. Yeah, you also can't talk to them. You're not going out and going, hey man, by the way, got some berries for you. It'll have the language that they speak in there. It wouldn't. It's a language model. It's got multi-languages in it. You can speak German if you want to. That's German. That's the current language. Okay, well, I'm like, what are hieroglyphics? How do you use them? And they'll be like, okay, draw this. So I'll be on the wall and I'll go, look, look, look. Well, no, you can do hieroglyphics in England.

They're not gonna understand. That's just cave drawings. Yes, I'll do cave drawings. So where's your own ambition in it? To become the emperor of everything. But of like cavemen? Yeah. No, no, no. You do die still, right? You realise you have a phone and you live in Nottingham, right? So this is the same thing. In this world, I can live forever.

You're just adding things non-stop. What would you do if you went to caveman times and you were Superman? I can't live forever but ChatGPT will be like okay okay okay hold on this happens when humans have figured out how to live forever then you go back and just you can live forever you know. I'll take an avid drip with me.

Right, so it's no longer just an iPhone and charger. It's also an IV drip if you want it. And a gun. A 3D printer so I can just make whatever I want. But also, by the way, you're immortal. Alright, if you could take one thing back to that time. You are going back to caveman times. And my question isn't this anymore. An M60E3 with extended magazines. You can take one thing back. Can it be connected to the internet?

There's no internet. There is no internet. Can I take the internet? Yeah, but then you have nothing to connect to it. Damn it, man. You have the internet, but just like... By the way, guys, in a few thousand years, you're going to be able to... You're going to be gassed that you have this. You're going to watch many, many clips. Okay, I would take... Gosh, this is a hard one. This is a really hard one. It's like Desert Island Discs.

I don't think a gun. I think they were too dumb. No, but a gun's sick because you can either defend yourself or if it really sucks. They are better than you at sticking each other with sticks. Yes, but I stick them with a bit of lead. When your bullet runs out, then what? I don't think they're smart enough to realise, okay, he's going to run at you, you shoot him.

i'm gonna run at you now he's not scared he's not scared of a gun you know what it is no when he sees like so in real life you go well i'm not gonna do it if you if i point a gun at you you're gonna go ah now they're like huh yeah but maybe maybe once you killed like five of them they weren't like they were scared of like fucking lightning and shit as well lightning and thunder it's like i've got lightning and thunder in a bit of metal okay well let's think about it's not guns what we'd take back i'd take like i'm just thinking guns

- iPad, yeah. Hey, by the way, this is Candy Crush. - Candy Crush is two and a half. - I draw through it. I'm like, "Watch this." Ooh, and I've erased it. Now I've changed it right out to red. - And now it's out of battery. - Yeah, I wouldn't actually choose that. - Basically imagine chalk on wall, but glass. - Okay, I would take back an invention.

Like whatever the most whatever the most impressive invention was that was them from that age to a new age I would take whether that was like paper and pen. That's such a cop-out. That's such a car You've gone like oh, I'll take whatever is really good to take back I'll take flint like flint and steel. I mean, that's the boy I mean if I'm going like out well weird thing another portal

Yes, I'd take a nether portal. No, no, that's what flint does, is it not? In Minecraft, does a flint... It makes fire. Oh, yeah. Carry on. And what else? Fire? No, no, I mean, what else are you going to take? What would I take? I don't know. Randy, the problem is, no matter what you do, though, you're still left in a world where everything's fucked. It's still shit. It's still shit. I know, that's why I gave parameters to be able to fix the world back then, by giving them a better life, as long as they worship me.

Anyway, what would you take back? Twix. A Twix. A Twix, yeah. Just for that minute of enjoyment. This is a shame now. I wouldn't eat it. I'd let them eat it. You want more of that? Follow me. You're getting convinced that there's more Twixes. Leave them to a cliff with Twixes. Down there, by the way. Go on.

- Take a Red Bull. - Yeah. - Nah, I'll take an American Prime. - Oh, yeah. - An American Prime would definitely wipe out all of the cavemen. - Yeah, it would not hit them. - Their hearts would explode. I'll take a football. - I was gonna think that. - That'd be nice, yeah. - It feels like World War II, or World War I, when you took a football and united everyone. I'm like, "Come on, cavemen, check this out, kick it." - 'Cause football is its own language, so we can all learn to speak it out. - True, true. They'll probably definitely spear it, though. - Probably. - And pop it. - And then it's ruined. - You know those old footballs, like at school? What would you call them?

ones that are full of air yeah footballs i'll call it a floater that's a poo that doesn't go down i have ptsd from the school football you know that you know the really manky one that had all the bits that fallen off yeah i remember um well the most nerve-wracking thing no no the most nerve-wracking thing will ever happen this is like

It doesn't help that I work for the Simon channel, which is like football. Like I remember I was probably, I fuck knows how old I was, but the sick forms one, they kicked it and it was rolling towards me. I was like, oh fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck. I need to kick that back. Oh no. Oh no. Oh God. And I'm not like, I used to play in a team, but I wasn't like the best footballer and it was rolling back to me. I was like, okay, right. It's got to look cool. And I go to kick it.

And I think I did it a bit too early. And I go up. My foot comes down onto the ball. I wobble. I twist my ankle and I fall onto the floor in pain. And I was then on crutches. Because like my ankle was fully twisted. Like it was fucked.

And I was then on- In sixth form. No, no, I wasn't sixth form. That's the even worse part. It's like, it's the cool kids and it's rolling towards you and like, oh fuck, okay, I've got to look cool. Got to pass it back to them. And yeah, then I was like hobbling around for a long time. See, that's one of those things where it's like, oh, I feel bad for laughing, but I wouldn't be able to not laugh. Oh, I was a fucking neek. Yeah, I was a neek and I would laugh. Yeah. Oh yeah, no, that's like one of the worst. I have some really like, you know, that's one of the moments where I'm like looking back in school and like, oh,

You're sitting there, you're like, oh, everything's kind of good, you know. And then your brain's like, hey, by the way, remember this? There's that. There's accidentally opening, like, bad things in class on the projector. That was fun. Ah, pronto. Pronto? I typed in pronto onto my school. Someone said, oh, Google pronto, Google pronto. I Googled it and the alarm went off because it's an anagram of porn. Oh, I did not know that. And a letter T. I remember. Pronto. Pronto. Oh, yeah. For some reason, I thought you said an extra R.

- I've really struggled with today's Wordle by the way. I haven't finished it yet. - Yeah? - Haven't finished it yet, you've gone back for it later. I might have to finish it off, yeah. - Why can't I do it in? You carry on with the next topic. - Wait, is Wordle the one that closed down or was that? - No, they got bought by New York Times. - No, but there was one that closed down. - You're thinking of Flappy Bird. - That's it. I'm thinking of Flappy Bird. - Flappy Bird was elite. - Yeah, now you can just say, "Chat with GPT, make Flappy Bird." - Flappy Bird and Doodle Jump. - Oh, that's a banger. And then they ruined it by putting it in arcades.

Yeah, if you got like Dave and Buster's and shit, it's in there. Damn. Which is kind of cool. And also, so is... Oh, Doodle Jump was so fucking good, man.

Yeah, dude jump was so jump temple run. Do you jump like that's that was back in the day toss Do you ever play thing thing on like god? It's actually making me sound like more of a psychopath again. You just kill people This is a hard word though, right You honestly I'm not gonna lie. You might only after the podcast. No, no, I'm getting it in the next yes Wait, was it Contexta that closed down then?

One of them closed down. I only ever played Wordle. I'm not one of the guys who can start playing more Wordles. There we go. Thing, thing four. His brain couldn't hack it. In fact, I did play Boxhead. What a time to be alive. This was the shit. That's cool. Cool, actually. This was like back before I had like... I was never allowed like a PlayStation or anything. Why? I don't know. It was just like...

just something I was never on. - "Rotch Your Brain." - I guess so. - I said to you. - And then I, so this was what I used to play on like, on the family computer. - I'm really struggling by the way. - I used to play on the family computer. Maybe you guys can tell what it is. It was a, not "Bomberman." Afro Jack? - No. - That's it. - That's a DJ. - I know. - That's a DJ.

i don't know it was like there's no way you'll get it never mind let's move on what was what other topics do we have i feel like we've kind of exhausted all options here i have a gift yeah is that what it was like the sparkly thing well yeah so so um because like so i think it's customary that it's customary like when there's hosts you like get when you're a guest you get a gift right for the whole thing is that the gift is that the gift there it is let me it's only the other way okay well let me guess what this is then it's a photo of simon

You can literally see half of it. Yeah, there's no way I'm in that. So you've given the gift to Simon and not the host. Do we get to keep the palace bag? Why, it's sparkling. So this is a... I know you like Jamie Brinley stuff and whatever. Yeah. This is not Jamie Brinley stuff. This is a custom photo. How is it a custom photo? Surely it's just a photo. Mid-journey. So I can like... I can't see what it is, but I can see... This was bought...

for me by a friend and I'm going to re-gift. Wow. So, a good few years ago, I dressed as Maleficent for Halloween. Why is it that face? And I have customised it. So under that face is you? No, that's me. So who's that? That's a friend of mine. That is me. What the hell is this gift? You're going to put Randall's face over yours. Not only is it like shit, it's also not got me in it.

- So there we go guys, enjoy. - It's literally sellotaped on. - It is sellotaped on. - Did you have to print that out? - What, the picture? - The one with Simon's face? - Yes, that was why I was a little bit late. - He goes through some weird lengths. - That's you, you're already sawing the picture. - He goes through some weird lengths. - What are you sitting down to? - On Sidecast, you always bring up weird pictures of me. - Oh, it's so fun. - Like, here's some just ready. - Oh, you can see her. - Yeah. - Zoella. - Zoella, yes, I was friends with Zoella.

This was in the advent calendar. No, it's really cool. So that's a little gift for you. Thanks. I hope you enjoy that. In the bag is my one? Yes. In the bag is yours. The bag is yours. Oh. I'm not lying. I'm still trying to work out this word. I'm not lying. I...

Oh yeah, by the way, it's like covered in this really weird shit. From what I understand, it's like, it was one of the options. No, I didn't get it. Sorry. I'm really excited getting the word myself today. But just knowing you has it will make me sleep at night. If it isn't this, then I got it wrong. I got it. I got it in four.

- Yeah, 'cause you looked at mine. You literally sat here looking at mine. - Nick smashed that one. - I literally sat here holding out so you could see the letters. - I would've got it in one minute. - Also, you did say it as soon as he got it too. Sounds like, "Got it, Nick, I got it." Anyway, I think, is that everything? - I think so, almost. - I think that's everything. - That was a nice podcast. - What else? - Well, there's the obvious like. - Okay, if you could go into the future, what would you take with you? - Oh, fuck. - From the past. - Okay. - I was gonna Bible, but it's already digitalized. - I'm getting digitalized.

- Oh no. - John's probably the best at these questions. - Oh. - Oh. - Tesco meal deal. Oh, have you ever had... - I'll take that. - What's... - How was it? Jersey Max. Have you had a Jersey Max? - You know what? I'd take something really like minimal and useless that could... It's like a gamble. Like the Messi card I have. - Yes. - I'd take that 'cause my hope is if I go into the future, that could be like an antique.

And then it goes through and I'm set up. - Yeah. Showing a caveman Messi as a card, that'd be sick, yeah. - Yeah, I still taking a gun. - Well, yeah, there was the obvious Logan Paul, Jake Paul, that stuff. But honestly, it's like a week old by the time this goes up. - Oh yeah, Jake Paul for Nate Diaz. - I meant to even ask that. - Logan Paul did WWE, sick.

It was okay. I've only seen the highlights. I haven't watched the whole thing. The cards before were sick though. I didn't watch them. One of the female cards, like incredible. Yeah.

They were massively mismatched, but... Oh, what was her name? Was it Serrano? Yes. She's Jake Paul Fighter, isn't she? Curry, that was it. Steph Curry. Insane. Like, she saw it through, like, ten rounds and just kept taking it. It was unreal. For fuck's sake. Child. But yeah, no, I think it was good. It was really good. But yeah. And then Logan...

Logan won as well. WWE. He's really good. Yeah, he's really good at this stuff. He's so cool, isn't he? Wow. He is really good. That's so cool. Jeez. He is just doing side quests now, isn't he? Yeah. Like... Bro, look at him. He's so good. Although he's now going to actually box again, isn't he? Yeah. Yeah, that's coming up. Imagine if he hurt himself again. WWE. Yeah. Because he had a bad injury before. I'm excited for that card. The Prime card is going to be sick. Yeah, I like Prime.

Cool. Thank you, Brian, for sponsoring this video. One question, if that's okay before you finish. I want to know who the other Infinity Stones are that you haven't got yet. Oh, yeah. You said your Infinity Stones. Oh, okay. So there is definitely PewDiePie. Moist Critical, you already put him in. Moist Critical's in there. Okay, so PewDie, you don't have. Moist Critical, you do have.

So there was one and this was a sick person to meet too and I'd never fangled. Ray William Johnson. Ray William Johnson's a good point. Yeah, that was back in the day. Would he be one? Do you know what? Yeah. Okay.

Back in the, like someone for me was Pay Money Wubby and I met him at, I met him at, at, at, Creative Clash. He was sick and I fangled. I have never, I've watched your videos a lot and that was it. Who else? Did you take a picture? Is he one of the pictures? iDubbbz I met, there he is. So who's the fifth? Is it iDubbbz or is it? I'm sixth.

Do you know what? I know the fifth. I know the fifth. Joji. There's one more. Without a doubt, Joji. There's actually one more. Joji and then maybe... Do you know what? I'll say like Max Mofer and that lot. Anything for views. Sick. Because they were like...

prime YouTube back in the day. I'm seeing Joji in August. That's going to be sick. Nice. I feel like you've been seeing him for a long time. What do you mean? I feel like I've gotten in the car with you like six times and you're like, oh, I'm seeing him soon. Yeah, probably. I haven't got much to talk about.

I don't get out more. But yeah, no, that would be sick. I think Joji is mad. That's an iconic part of YouTube. Me and John have the same taste in that. I feel like, unfortunately for you, you chose a lot of people that the Sidemen just aren't going to film. Oh, no. Without a doubt, there is no way we're doing a Max Mofo. Well, we almost... Never know. We had some beef with them, right? Oh, well, we didn't. Well, we kind of caused that beef a little bit because me, John, and Lawrence were like, their editor's sick. And Victor was like...

Would you try and steal him? Oh. And then, yeah. Shout out Prezo. Shout out. But yeah, I will look. I think we're coming to end soon. Yeah, I think that's... You've had your gift. I don't want to seem ungrateful, but I hate it.

Yeah. Strangely enough, when I was given that gift as well, I kind of reacted the same. That was Halloween and I was slapped on the arse by someone. Not a bad gift? What? The slap on the arse? Yeah, I guess. Maybe. If you're into that. Because of the costume. They're like, damn.
