- KSI is so big that he's not even in the assignment. I can at least make contact with the boat. Everyone was filming and I was like, oh man, I couldn't even look at it. Sorry, AMP. It was really bad. And the boat was like, almost crushed me alive. So many people have said that exact sentence. How? Disrespect and I can't believe it. Waste of space. - See, you're weirdly into it. - What do you see? That's mental. - Boom, marry me. - Yo, what's up guys and welcome back to the What's Good Podcast. Let's go. - Yeah. - I missed a week last week.

That got applauded by the way. I know, I know. Sorry guys, just very busy at the minute. Well, Simon is, I'm not. No, I am. You were away? Yeah, but yeah, I was away. That seems like busy. Sure, sure. Where were you? I was in America. Shock. I went to New Jersey this time though. I forgot New Jersey was so close to New York. How crazy is that? So crazy. 40 minute train. Crazy. And then also Pennsylvania is close too. I didn't know that one. And Philadelphia. Is that the same thing?

Is Philadelphia in Pennsylvania? Don't know. Nick's nodding. Nick's got a bookie stuff on, by the way. Shout out, Texas. Let's go.

We've been to Philadelphia. That's cool. Did you have a Philly cheesesteak? I didn't go to Philadelphia. But I went to New York, New Jersey. You need to go to Philadelphia. I'll try next time. Yeah. So I go to the Collecticons, the Pokemon card shows. There's one every month. Mentally. It got shut down. Well, no, sorry. The queue was like two hours long to get in and the fire brigade came and shut it down because there were so many people inside. So news alert. Pokemon's popping right now. Going crazy. I might go to more shows. There's loads. There's one in Charlotte. I'm not going to go to that one. What is Charlotte all about? What's that? I feel like.

Where is Charlotte? I feel like it's the Milton Keynes of America now. That's not bad, is it? No one likes Milton Keynes, man. They had the Snowdome. Do they? Unless your name's Milton. No, that's North Carolina. That's sick. That would be sick. Say hi to Mr. Beast. So Atlanta in September. I might go to that one. Then I'm going to go to Chicago next in October. And then obviously November is Houston, Texas. Wait, Chicago's... Obviously going to go to Texas.

Is that where Chicago is? Well, yeah. Well, we went to Chicago. I thought it was near Philadelphia. Well, I mean, depends what you mean by near. That's pretty near on the screen right now. Yeah, yeah. That's actually quite close. That's like,

a couple feet so long story short i think i need to get a work visa for america so i'm going to apply for that oh i know i'm going to apply for it after november because you can't go can you why are you all right it's in the application process so i'm going to go to the one in houston in november and apply for it what if i moved it by the way what what do you reckon do you think it's possible i think what do you mean is it possible well obviously like can i work it out i've got harper obviously but i don't see her every like i say every two weeks at the minute you know

you know, so it's like, I'm thinking every two weeks I would have to be earning enough money to fly back and forth a lot, which is fine. I can stack my air miles, you know, but I was thinking if I did like, I could do like a few weeks over there or two weeks over there and then like have Harper for a whole week. I'm going to try and keep my house up north. It's like when she's at school because I have it at the house, I'd be sick. I,

I'd prefer that than having like a weekend because I can actually... If you can persuade Simon to get a divorce and then marry Simon, you can get his Canadian passport. I can marry Simon. Which gives you six months every year visa-free in America. Oh, really? Yeah.

Wait, so why don't I just get... Boom, marry me. Is that a legally binding question? Wait, but you have to be a Canadian citizen. Yes. You can't just have a Canadian visa. No, Canadian passport gives you... Does he get a Canadian visa by marrying me though? You can get the passport citizenship. Or just marry an American girl, right? Which allows you to, yeah. Instead of 90 days, it's 180 days in America a year. Wow, cool. That's cool. Yeah, I might do that.

No, you won't. No, I won't. Sorry, sorry. No, I won't. I won't do that. But I think like...

I feel like also the stuff I do here, obviously podcast maybe would struggle, but figure that out. No, because it depends how long, like if you're like, yeah, I'm going to go to America for like a month, then come back for a week, then a month, then a week, then it would struggle. But if you're like, oh yeah, I'm going to do two weeks, one week. Yeah. We just record two in a day every time. Yeah. I feel like big wedge, like we don't film that often anyway. So I could figure that out. It's definitely, it's plausible. Yeah. But you'd really need to be like,

Everything would need to be in order. Yeah, I know. I know what days I'm going. I know what organization. Yeah. So the reason I was thinking of it is because number one, I'm going there a lot for this card. These card shows, which is really good for Ace.

And the ACE team was also saying, for example, right? I went to the card show and this guy was like, "Oh, what's the cheapest rate you could do if I bulk send an ACE grading?" And I was like, "Well, he told me a price of another grading company." I was like, "I don't think we can beat that." But then I was like, "If you send a no, if we actually could probably do that, because the more you get, the cheaper your costs are." Economies of scale, they call that. Yep, by the way, that's fucking good.

And he was like, oh, what price would you do me if I sent 20,000 cards a month? I was like, what? That's one guy. So long story short, America is just different gravy. So I was thinking of opening H grading US over there and then having an office for H grading and I could set that up, run that, you know? So that's one of the thoughts. But anyway, I was in America. Wasn't that interesting? Where would you live? I'd probably live in Texas. Shock. It's just sick, man. Texas is just sick. You know, you don't know. You don't know. Don't worry about it. I've been. You lived there. Yeah.

Where did you go? Dallas. Where did we go? Oh, we were at College Station. Yeah, College Station. Eagle Pass. We went down to Eagle Pass on the border. Eagle Pass, yeah. Boom knowledge. Nice. Big Bend National Park. Yeah. Say something.

I actually can't, I've lost words. Have you ever been there? No, I've never been there. I've never done like the wilderness of Texas yet. Yeah, if you know you know. That sounds like the wilderness. If you know you know. No, I don't know. But we actually need to sort a date for Cashrod to come over. He wants to come over to do some sports cards. So we've got to figure out a date between those dates he said. Which is pretty hard, isn't it? Yeah. I ended up buying like a bunch of football cards that

I forgot about like I bought loads that's sick weeks ago okay as in like the ones I bought of you yeah yeah the one I bought some online yeah and they've all just arrived in the last like two days that's sick so I said to this I was like oh I just got a box of cards the next day I had like nine it's

So I don't know what's happened here. Well, without your, without the case. Well, the ones that I got you are the, there's a lot of cards in them. So there are a lot of boxes. I don't know if you want to do that. You could do either one massive one and go ham. I could come help you because I want to open them as well. Or you could do it bit by bit. Yeah.

I'll probably do it as one long. I think so. Cause then you see what the case hit is. If there is one. And I don't want to get the case hit first and then know in like four days I got to go do some more. Yeah. And be like, oh, I know I can't get the case hit. Yeah. But yeah. No, I'm excited. I'm doing loads more car stuff, man. I was trying to Josh in the car from Big Wedge. We did Big Wedge on Sunday. You missed it. You're watching Judo.

I was watching basketball. I thought I had a joke on the way. Dude, it was on the Saturday. Was it good? We'll get to the Olympics. Fuck me. I'm so excited. I was talking to Josh about like, I just need to go full force into Pokemon again. I don't know why I ever stopped, man. I didn't stop. I stopped to do Ace and then Life got back in the way. I'm just really good at it, man.

I like it. Good at what? Life? No, Pokemon. Oh, okay. Okay. I'm just good at Pokemon, man. No, but I've been doing more whatnot streams and stuff as well. So I've been doing that. I've been going to America, getting cards for that and stuff. So, yeah. Tried some New York pizza, but I fucked it, man. I went to a chain rather than a real authentic New York pizza because the queue was massive, man. I'm not going to sit in a queue. I think they're all tourist traps, but apparently it was the best one. I should have waited. I went to New York, then went to New Jersey for the Pokemon store. Now I'm back. That's me all done.

Did you have a New York cheesecake? You gotta have surely like, when we went, we had everywhere we went, we had what like they were known for. The New York pizza, New York cheesecake, Philly cheesesteak. They're known for cheesecakes. I didn't know that. New York. I don't know that. Right? Yeah. New York cheesecake, Chicago deep dish. Chicago deep dish was awful. That was the worst one we had. Texas barbecue. That was good. I don't think. We had, was it Cubano's down in Miami? Yeah.

Maybe. You borrowers, what, cigars? Not them, then. Calm down. The sandwich. Cut you. Sorry, I was sipping. If you're listening to the audio, I was the big sip there. That's sick, actually. Cheesecake, I'll do it next time. I did, the worst part is I stayed in Times Square just because, like, I don't know, I was there for two days and I thought, let's get into the hustle and bustle. And I didn't realise I stayed literally two doors down from where me and Laura went on, like, a holiday in New York. It was really bad. So every time I was walking somewhere, I was like, oh, that's when me and Laura did this. So actually, it was like,

Like, bad nostalgia. You know, maybe it's still good memories, I guess. But like, everywhere I looked, I was like, fuck, fuck, fuck. But yeah. Anyway, how's your life, man? Yeah, good. I went to Paris. I was actually going to talk to you about this. Okay, of course. Welcome to. I went on my own, but Tali was there.

Right. So I assumed you went with Talia. No. So she, she was doing stuff with, she went with Samsung. Cool. Um, that's all right. I wanted to go to the bar. I wanted to go to the basketball. Yeah. Um, so she would basically, she wakes up, goes, does everything, uh,

until the evening. So I was basically on my own all the time. I love that, by the way. By the way, that's the best way to travel. Yeah, and I disagree. You hated it? No, I didn't hate it at all. You've got to listen, man. You've got to rethink the strategy. I didn't hate it at all. Okay. But...

I did think this was nowhere near as good as if there was someone else there. Sure. Is that why you mentioned about vlogging? Did you vlog it? Yeah. So you were saying, oh, so you were vlogging on your own and you put it in chat saying, I don't like vlogging on my own. Yeah. Got you. Because I think like the vlog's going to end up, I've just put it as one vlog, it's the whole weekend. Yeah. It's like 30 minutes or something. Yeah. But I feel like it's just going to be a lot of

Okay, now I'm going to this. Okay, now I've done this. Yeah, see, when I vlog, I always think that in mind about you and I having a conversation years ago in your house, in your room. I missed that carpet, man. It was a good carpet. And then the rug was even better. Second Simon house. Yeah, I never went to the first one. Yeah. Can't believe that. And you said that, you know, you hate when vlogs become like, oh, now I'm doing this, now I'm doing that. I will say, though, now I think it's not bad because like it,

It depends on what your expectations are of the vlog. I think if you're vlogging main channel sort of thing, then yeah, I want to make it like a high energy vlog. But if you are in Paris for like that long, I think people want to see that little bit between stuff, you know? So I find that actually, what I realized, my best vlogs, in my opinion, I posted a vlog the other day, it didn't get many views, but everyone in the comments was like, it's the best vlog you've ever done. And I was in New York because I had the whole day, 24 hours to film stuff. All I did, by the way, I went to get a bagel in the morning.

This is really scary. I walked past a body in a bag. Fuck it, someone jumped off the building, man. It was so horrible. I couldn't believe it. I'm not laughing. I am laughing, but I googled the best bagel place. Went there, and on that street, that's where it happened, and I walked past it, and everyone, man, I can't believe everyone was filming, and I was like, oh, man. I couldn't even look at it. It put me off. And then I went to go somewhere else. But anyway, not relevant. Um...

I had a bagel, then I went to the Central Park, I read a bit of my book, then walked to the next bench, read a bit of my book, and I vlogged that whole thing, and everyone was like, this is the best vlog you've done. But I think they don't mind when you're just like, dilly-dallying, you know? So you just walk around on your own with a bag? Or were you carrying the book? Ah, good point. No, no, no. Alright, alright, alright. You thought you got me. You thought you got me. I had no bag, but I had a Kindle.

That's worse! No, no, no. That's even worse! There you go! That's... Oh my god. Only 30k views, but everyone's like, this is the best vlog. I put the Kindle in my pocket. Randy, that's like walking around holding hundreds of books, mate. Yeah, but I put the Kindle in my pocket. I don't walk around holding the Kindle. Although, at one point, I did walk around reading the book. Isn't it like this size? Smaller than that. Also, by the way, this iPad will get... Yeah, but if you have this in your pocket... I know, what do you mean? You can't...

Can't see shit. No, I'm judging you. This is in your pocket. Are you getting a Kindle out? He's probably got Gen 1. Yeah, that's a Kindle. Whoa. That's what I have, I think. This in your pocket. Ain't that bad. Actually, hold on, show me. Mine's a little bit different than that. I think mine's bigger than that. That's worse! It's actually Gen 1. I think maybe, yeah. Kindles are better, though. Kindles are not a book, man. Press the bottom button to turn it on. It lasts forever, you know.

We don't read Nick's book. It's quite personal. I was just trying to see how to turn it on. What's he reading? Like some sort of sex book? I've got a story about that, but I won't tell it. That's made me look really bad. I've got a story about your book. Yeah, he hasn't got a sex book. So you've logged on your own. I did. And you just... Yeah, I know. I know. I know. Yeah, I was just... I don't know. So the first day I got there...

First day, yeah. So I got there early on the Friday, but there was all the, they set fire to the tracks. Cool, man. That's really cool. No, I'm saying typical. Typical, like you go somewhere, you get delayed. That's really cool, man. You did that Gus crazy, man. Oh, sorry. No, no, I didn't mean that. I saw your picture. It was busy. It was very busy. Yeah. Well, they set fire to the tracks, so it was like a two and a half hour train journey. How do you set fire to a train track? Is it metal? I don't know.

I think there's wood in between. Yeah, you're right. I don't know. It was like five hours to get there. Went straight to the opening ceremony. I don't know if you watched any of it. I heard it was bad. It was awful. It was really bad. They put the flag upside down. They put the flag upside down. One of the dancers had their bollock hanging out. They announced South Korea as North Korea. Oh, man. Yeah. How could they do that? It was a lot. In English? Or in French? I don't know. I think it was on TV. Like it was written.

Sure. Yeah. So it wasn't great. Did anyone watch the opening ceremony? Yeah, well a bit. So I was in and out. So the way that, it's normally in a stadium, right? This time was along the river. So everything starts at the beginning of the river. Yeah. And all the seats were just along. So they announced, you know, Greece is the first boat out. Cool. Because they created it.

The Olympics, yeah. And I'm thinking like, okay, cool, like the boat's gonna start going past. It was an hour before the Greece boat reached us. Mad. So it was like, oh wow, the first one reached you. Flippin' Nora. So then, you know, we're there for like four hours of just kind of like pouring down rain, boats going past, nothing. That's it. That was all we saw. That sucks actually. Yeah. Why are you thinking there? You're like, fuck.

Yeah, I was thinking like, is this what the Olympics is really like? Because I've never been. Why don't you just go do something else? Well, during the opening ceremony, there's nothing to do. Right. In Paris, I mean.

Yeah, but I was kind of like, I'm here for the Olympics. I can go to Paris whenever. It's not hard to get to. Sure. It's true. I should see the Olympics. Yeah, you're right. You're right. Did you go to the Olympics in London? No. I lived here and didn't go. I tried and didn't get tickets. I didn't realize how early. Actually, I told you I had tickets for the Paris Olympics.

Oh, in Lille. No, Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice.

Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice.

No, you weren't. Yeah, then second day was going to be skateboarding final, but it got rained off. So I went to judo. Got you. So you can make your joke now. No, no, judo is a cool thing, I think. It was actually really sick. I think it's better than skateboarding. Now I've watched judo, I think it is. Got you. But I didn't realize that they literally have one round of three minutes or four minutes. Oh, so it's not like UFC has rounds. No, it's like, it's literally like, okay, round of 16, him versus him,

Four minutes go, whoever wins that round, done. Fair play. And then that person is now out. They worked that whole time, came the whole way to Paris and they're out on four minutes. Yeah, well, yeah, and it's like, how often are they? Every four years? Yeah.

You've got to train so hard, right? Yeah. And all you do is train for that one day. Brutal. I could never do that. Yeah. And then the Sunday went to Lille, went to the basketball. Nice. But that's where I really thought like, this would have been so much sicker if I was with a friend. Yeah. You went to Lille on your own. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I get it. I think I'm just thriving being alone right now. So I enjoy it more. But if I was you, I probably would hate it.

why are you thriving on your own well i just think i've never been on my own man so since i was like 14 i've been with someone so like i mean i've traveled on my own without like when i was with someone but like now i enjoy it man so you prefer to go somewhere on your own or with what's your ideal no i mean okay but in a group i don't know no don't go wrong if we go on a trip i would love to go with the boys you know or friend anyone anyone but i'm like if i'm going to vlog yeah i think i would choose yeah

If Simon could come with you on all of these trips, would you like that more? Yeah, I would still choose that for sure. But I'm not... If I've got to go on my own, I don't mind.

I'd happily choose to go on my own. - Okay. - You know what I'm saying? If someone wants to come with me, then sure. Or if I wanna go somewhere with someone, yeah, cool. But then like, I don't mind being on my own vlogging. I get better quality vlogs. They don't do as well. I get better quality vlogs. 'Cause also I struggle when I'm with people to vlog. I'm nervous that I'm not meant to be filming this. - They'll make the same joke of, "Oh, he's vlogging." - Yeah, yeah, yeah. But people believe that now. It's the worst part. - 'Cause they're all telling the truth. - People make jokes, then the comments are fucking, "Oh, you can totally hate me and Ran-Randy." I'm like, "Fuck."

But I don't mind. Hey, my TikTok's doing well right now. I've been posting TikToks. Yeah? Doing quite well. Doing what? Clips from vlogs? Yeah, so I've got a guy who edits my Pokemon channel. I haven't posted on that quite regularly, so I was like, how about in between that you do some TikToks? So he's been editing the vlogs into TikToks, but not shorts. They're just like two-minute vlogs. They're doing really well. Nice. Yeah, and the RPM's really good on it. Yeah, they're over a minute, they will.

Oh yeah. That's doing really well. I'll take this for sure. Damn. That one there is the most embarrassing thing I've ever had to do. Just click that real quick. The most embarrassing. By the way, you've got to turn it off by the way after. It's so embarrassing. You're going to like spank yourself or something. No, I was with this person and they made me go up on stage. They paid this guy to play this song. It's the LMFAO one. And he made me do this stuff. There's no...

You didn't even look like you were doing a dance move. You looked like you were wiping. Because I was internally dying when I ate shit like this. But I was with someone like, oh God. What the fuck is happening? No sound makes it so much better. Sound makes it worse. Can we talk after that? I could never imagine you doing that. But I had no choice.

If I was drunk I'd have put more. What do you mean you had no choice though? Right, so you're in a bar, you walk in, it's in Texas. So they play, they write on a note, put $20 in it, give it to the guy, and he goes, it's my birthday recently. So he's like, oh, it's a birthday boy, whatever, I have to go on stage. And then, like, what do you want me to do? And they make me do this dance. And he tells me what I have to do. So you have to walk, and I do the Zoolander shit, and then I have to, so like, what do you do? Just leave the bar?

And then they're filming me on the vlog as well. So I'm like for the vlog I've got to do it. Yeah, and I didn't but I like it easier when you know, you're vlogging it though. Yeah That's the only thing that kept me in it. Yeah, I was logging but like in my head by the way, I was doing the moves properly I wasn't you know, I wasn't that crazy. That's the worst thing ever my life But when we don't have a vlog he posts old ones and that was in like 20k last night and I'll do it well And I was like, thank God I like beg and I woke up. It's done like 20k, but I'm

We wanted to ask you guys just on the Olympic stuff. So for the next Olympics, say you're given four years and you had to do one Olympic sport and you had four years to embarrass yourself as little as possible. Which sport would you pick? Golf. That's true. There you go. Lucky John. Table tennis.

nah no way because that's so hard you think you can get that good at table tennis no you just said embarrass yourself the least oh so you just lose yeah you get bad that's fine yeah true actually true but I think you probably flinch they hit it so bad true but I've got four years to practice yeah yeah four years no flinching I think in four years I could get to the level where I can at least make contact with the ball

Yeah, that's all I need. Sure, sure. I don't need to return it. I just need to make contact and then I don't look bad. Yeah. Well, I look bad, but not embarrassed. Golf is a, yeah, golf is an easy answer. Skateboarding? No.

I can't even like, I can't even, I couldn't skateboard on a flat surface. In four years though. No, like table tennis, I'm already. And also you wouldn't want to put the work in for skateboarding. But it's like golf, you should play golf loads. I mean, yeah, golf is a very easy answer. What if you shanked it? That's fine. The very first hole in front of, what is it, a billion people? Yeah, but everything else. There's also, I doubt a billion people are watching the golf Olympics.

Is golf a team one in the Olympics or is it on your own? I think it's team, isn't it? Was team GB in that? Is it like the Radder Cup sort of style? Brick dancing. Yeah, because no one knows what, no one knows the level of it. You just spend four years learning two moves. Yeah. I know that they know more moves. Why don't you just keep doing that one? Like I'm saying, you could literally just master one move and you wouldn't win

But you'd at least enter and do that one move as if you're going to do a new move and never do the new move. Just keep like teasing it. It was clearly like your signature dance. There's a clip on Big Wedge where Josh is talking to the GoPro, but he's like going to sip his drink for about a minute and a half. It's got the smallest amount of liquid in it. And I saw the comments like, bro, this guy's teasing the sip. It was really long. Wait, what would you choose? Archery. Oh, that's not bad shout.

Yeah, shooting. Yeah, skeet shooting is another one. Basically anything not too physical. Yeah, I agree with that. Although... Although 100 metres would be pretty awesome just to know how quick someone is running next to you. Yeah, but you... No, no, no. 100 metres is actually you'd embarrass... And everyone's watching that one. Yeah. But it would make people realise just how quick they are.

I saw a video on Reddit, I don't know why actually, it was an Olympian swimming with like a teenager, like 15 year old, 16 year old like hoop swimmers and he gives them like 10 second lead and still almost catches them. I mean, we did the Sidemen video like six years ago where we did the 100 meters with Adam Jamili and it's just, that video, he's not,

He's not trying fully. He's also wearing a mask and halfway through the race has to lift up the mask to see. Mad. And pulls it down again. Mad. And he still destroys it. The mask is in it with no eyes. No, he's got eye holes. It's like Ethan was injured. Got you. Became Ethan. Yeah. I remember this, yeah. Yeah, so look. In the red. So he starts running out of his lane. Oh my god. Like, he is trying, but he's not. Yeah. He literally lifts it up. Yeah. Mad. Mad.

So seeing that was like, wow. Yeah. It's actually just, it's a joke. Within five meters, he's already five meters. I remember this video. Everyone was like, shout out to the cameraman. Right? Hold on.

Nevermind. Yeah, I was going to say. Anyway, I was going to say, people were saying in the comments of that swim video where they should, at the Olympics, they should put normal people before just so you can see how good they are. The Olympians. Imagine, every Olympian sport, a regular person or at least like an amateur does theirs and then you see the pros go and be like, oh my god. Or just put an amateur in like lane one. Yeah.

Lane 1 and lane 8 or whatever it is. You know how there's like, they always have a lane I think either side. Just put them there and then just see. Every sport, every Olympic sport has to have one normal person just to show the level. That's sick. On swimming, how many laps of a pool do you reckon you could actually do? Me, me. It's rough.

What? Swimming's hard, man. You know, in the sea... It's rock hard. I'm a pretty strong swimmer, if I was fitter. But when we go... If you're on a yacht day or whatever, you've got to swim to the shore or restaurant or something. You can do it, but you've got to take your time. It's so hard to actually fully go fully for it. It's a great sport. Yeah, it depends what you're saying by how many laps could you do. Because if you're talking like you have to go as fast as you can... Without stopping. As fast as you can...

Probably like four. Yeah. Maybe one or two for me. Well, I wouldn't be going. I'm not saying I would be going. I would be trying to go as fast as I can, but it wouldn't be fast. Yeah. So when I swear, I mean, I'm not a good swimmer, but our pool is 50 meters. Not mine personally. I was going to say. The pool we go to is 50 meters. And if I'm swimming as hard as I can, I struggle to come back. Oh, yeah. If you're like race level, I don't know if I could finish one lap.

but I can do one I might go swimming actually because it's actually a really good exercise isn't it yeah really good sorry nothing else to do that I was thinking as well on the least embarrassing Olympic thing you probably could just go for the sport that's like the least viewed right

Yeah. What do you reckon the least viewed sport? They all go viral. If someone's really good or really bad, they all go viral. Yeah. You could be a rower and just be at the back of the rowing. So hard. Like team sport. Sometimes you break the thing as well. You can break the, the, or I think it's so hard. Someone tried it. It was like, um, max flush.

No, it was like, it might not have been this person, but it was like Jill Scott. Sure. She had like a, you know, a piece on it. Yeah. And they rode and it was out of time and it means that they catch it and it breaks the wall or something. Yeah. They're militant them rowers.

Did Tali go with you to any sport? Huh? Did Tali make it to any sport with you? Not with me. Got you. But she went to... What did she do? She went to volleyball. Okay. She went to... Volleyball's a good sport. Fencing. Okay. That's a good sport. To watch. Not to watch. On TV. Maybe, yeah. Not in person. No. And she went to... One other, I can't remember. Fair enough. Yeah, the volleyball. I really wanted to go to that. That looks fucking sick. Yeah. With the Eiffel Tower. Yeah.

Why are you saying that? I don't know. For a reaction. I got one from John. I've got a new idea for a Sidemen Sunday. Okay. Or a Sidemen video. Okay. It doesn't have to be a Sunday, but you could actually get it in there as one. Freshman Sidemen Cypher. No. What do you mean? No. That'd be sick. No. You've all done this track? You're saying this now as well. No, we haven't all done this track. Who's not? Josh. He's done a song on Sidemen for the Sidemen Sunday Christmas one. Toby. Toby Raps. Yeah, but like... Because A&P done one.

Just in one. And it would be so sick. I mean, A&P have done four or three. Sure. But you've got to look at it as like, JJ's not going to do a jokey song anymore. It doesn't have to be a joke. No, I know, but it's the Sidemen cypher. Yeah. You'd have to freestyle. You'd write it, and he does a normal verse. Everyone does their own thing, their own style. Kevin Hart came through and did his joke one. Yeah. Vic could do that one too. Like, so my diss track, I wrote it with Toby and Lux. So you'd have to write it out yourself.

You just gotta do it Vix was like Most of the jokes were me and Josh Sure we can diss you guys You don't have to do it live either You can record it and just mime it Mate that's easily I reckon it does I just think it's so easy to be cringy Of course but you gotta lean into that

It'd be sick man, and you guys get a week off, you know, Harry does one flow so it doesn't matter He can't do it to this mate. We'll use it'll get it'll get like you can get like 15 20 minute view Minutes long. Sorry, so you have to worry about you've been too short Still get your mid rolls, you know, but the thing is like the say MPs one. Have you watched it? Watched it. Let's go through it. So the Kevin Hobbit's one so there one last time was

Sorry, AMP. It was really bad. Like, I watched it and I was like, unless you are a hardcore AMP fan, this isn't worth watching. The new one, I've seen TikToks. Sounds good. But, yeah. Ours would be like their last one, not the new one. I don't know. I think you underestimate yourself. I, as a viewer, would love to see all seven Sidemen. You get JV in it? Yeah. You know? Not bad. Not bad. There we go. Time to get a bit better. Who else can get in it? H will come in it?

Okay. Fuck it, man. So now we're just making a UK rap cypher. Yeah. It's not even Sidemen anymore. Well, it should be called Sidemen, you know. I reckon there's 8 million views. Whether it's a more Sidemen or main channel, 8 million views. Because if that's main channel, that's not that good. I don't know. I don't think it'll do as well as some of the videos, but it's better than a compilation. We only do a compilation once a year. Cypher once a year. Two videos once a year that you don't have to go and

frolic for what do in the studio toby studio you get some help some people to help help write it for you easy just like the name sidemen cypher don't you no i actually think it's quite mouthful sidemen cypher amp cypher sounds better yeah we should do it then sidemen freshman i don't know anyway just a little idea for you um don't have to take it but

Big Wedge Sunday. Filmed. Two videos. Yeah. How were they? Pretty good actually. I haven't got it. I missed it. Yeah, no. It's all good. I wanted to see LeBron. Oh, was he there? Yeah. Sick. What do you mean? I mean, I just forgot he was there. The Team USA team is like... No, no. LeBron, Steph Curry, Kevin Durant. Who else?

What's the name? Anthony Davis? Oh yeah. Anthony Edwards as well. Embid was there as well. What was the final score? He's getting booed. I don't know. It was 100 and something. Like low. Yeah. 104 to 80 or something. Because you were like they were hooting and then they came back, right? Yeah. The first two minutes it was like 10-2 to Serbia. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Serbia are good. Yeah. In Greece basketball is quite popular too. Kevin Durant has now had like that performance. Yeah.

You know when that so like for me when I've watched football matches, I've seen Messi play I've seen Ronaldo play the best person I've ever seen play live was Modric as in a performance He did you go you I was like wow. Okay, Kevin Durant that game that game really I mean, I've not watched many basketball games in person. Yeah. Yeah Everyone's gonna be always yeah, true true, but it was ridiculous seeing it like the level. No, I mean, yeah there

I guess. But the thing is, I would love to see them play like an absolute stinker. But Sturve aren't that, right? Yeah. I don't know if you'd consider them as stinkers, but they played South Sudan like last week and they won by one point. Sure. But it's all because they've got Djokic. Yeah. Yeah. Where's Luka Doncic? Where's he from? I always thought he was Serbian. Is he Croatian?

D-O-N-C-I-C. The little squiggly C, I think. Slovenian. Ah, right, that's the one. Okay. I always thought he was Serbian, but I always thought Serbian and Slovenian was the same thing. Right. Until just now? Until we played them in the World Cup. Oh. No, no, Euros. I knew they were different, but it sounded similar. No, Big Wedge was good. We did two videos, and they were pretty good. Nice. Just a little update. I'm gutted I'm missing them, though. That's now two filming days I've missed.

But I know the point. Well, the other one we didn't post. We only posted one out of the other one. That's fine. Yeah. And also you do not post any others. No, we're posting these two. But we did the Grove one. We're not going to post that second one we did apparently. Oh, okay. We skipped that one. So you didn't miss one video. Not bad. I mean, the whole point when we started was like, yeah, you can miss. Yeah. You can miss days if you're busy. Just miss it. Yeah. And then one video didn't do as well. But now it's 900k. So it's fine. I think. It doesn't really matter. But yeah. Josh, so far, is the only person who's been in every shoot. That's crazy. Mad.

Yeah, because you guys are the one, remember? Yeah. I'm excited for that video. Me too, I want to watch it. When's that out? I don't know. May just next, I think. Good. Any day now. Finally. Well, good for you. Not good for me. I just want it to be out. I'm going to Cuba when that video comes out. So there's no internet. Sudan. That's probably not very nice of them. Probably got internet in Sudan. Yeah, that's a good topic. Sorry, we kind of blew through all the ones that we actually have been active in.

Oh my god, yeah, the sidearm played against the staff. Yeah, it was a side plus game. We sort of spoke about this, right? Because John got his tattoo. Yeah. And long story short, that was the vet, wasn't it? Right?

No, no, no. There was a guy. So Finn was on the losing staff team. He had to get a tattoo. That's the most sudden thing I've heard in my life. No, he had to get a tattoo that said Jar Jar Jar because we just lost against Spain. So it was like Spanish laughing. And then you guys had basically hired that tattoo. I certified letter boy the whole day. And yeah, he was giving out tattoos and I thought, screw it, I'll get an XIX one. Wait, I thought if they lost, they had to get a tattoo.

Yeah, so he had to get that. Right, right, right. He had to get it because they lost at the Side Plus match. But it was because we had just lost to Spain. Right. So the timing kind of linked together. Sure. Wait, all this stuff had to get one if they lost? No, just Finn. Just Finn. Why didn't Finn end up getting one, right? Yeah, Ethan decided he'd get the same one as Finn. So he's got a matching tattoo with Finn. That's a little bit weird, but it's cool. I haven't seen Ethan in so long, you know.

I haven't seen Ethan in so long. I mean, he is on holiday. No. Mate, you know Amy's birthday party? Yeah. That's the last time I've seen him, I think. I haven't seen him in like three or four months. I wasn't there. You weren't there, but he was there. Ten minutes. Mate, I haven't seen Ethan since before Vegas. Can that be true?

I'm not joking. No. Mate, I haven't seen him in like four months. Realize this. I want to text him. I haven't seen Ethan. It's because you haven't been in a sideband video. I was wondering why you were in such a good mood. Like you've been, like the last couple of months, you've been like so happy. Last time I saw him was in the hunted video. That must be it. Damn. Yeah, man. I haven't seen him in so long. Crazy. Do you miss him? Yeah. No, I do miss him. When I see him, I'm like, what the fuck? I'm seeing a ghost. Um, we were doing this meal. What? This meal. We said we're going to do.

I don't know. People just keep putting like, "Oh, shall we do it?" and then that's it. I was glad because I said I couldn't do the last one and I was like, I'm glad I didn't cancel what I was gonna do for it because we didn't do it. Yeah. I mean, never cancel anything until someone goes, "I've booked it." Yeah, I realize that. Simon have also been mentioned in some songs. Yeah, so "Wretch 3:2" with his Daily Duppie, right? Yeah. I haven't heard this. No, I haven't. Will these work? I don't know. Fuck knows these days.

We should do. Let's see if they do. It's going to be really loud, by the way. No. I can't hear it. Yeah, I can't hear it. Can you hear it, Nick? Yeah, but we can't hear it. Can you hear it, Nick? Can you hear it? Yeah, I can hear it. Oh, no, we can't hear it. We can't hear it. No worries. I knew he could hear it because he couldn't hear us. They have lyrics on the screen, though, right? Yeah, yeah. So I'm just getting... Kind of. Eyes, hands...

Grass. You should try. You know what you should do one day? What? You should try and watch along and make a rap that fits it. Sure.

So you can be like, oh, the grass is greener when I mow it. In my own beat though. Huh? In my own beat though. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, sure. But you have to like fit in. That'd be sick. That'd be actually quite sick. Yeah, I'd do that. You've got to like freestyle it, but you can obviously rewind it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. When you've set a bar on something, you have to just keep it. Sure. That's how I write songs anyway. Just rap it and rewind it. Rap it and rewind it. Yeah, but I mean like this, just there, you'd be like, oh, the grass is greener when I mow it. It's true, true. And then you have to keep that bar. I can do that. I can do that if I haven't made a song with it anymore.

So what's the lyric? He says... Imagine he just insulted us. Even the main guy is a sideman. He says... That's not a sideman mention. It's a picture of JJ and then the sideman goes, I gave a chunk to my filly, our table is filled. It's funny how the main event... That's supposed to say his main event is a sideman all along. Main event is a sideman all along.

And then back to beta. So if you see me in the flesh, big shark in a little pond now grew before my time. I would argue he's referencing all the YouTubers. He's referenced JJ though, isn't he? Yeah, sort of.

What were you going to say? Well, he's just a Sideman, which is like the Sideman name came from Sideman. Yeah. So he's actually not even... Because he's mentioned in Trunks and Philly and Beta Squad. Yeah, he's just a pun. Yeah. He said even JJ was like... Yeah. Yeah. It's a mention, but you know, it could have been. But the point is that you guys do get mentioned every now and again by people. Does it? Is it still like, oh my God, when you do? Resh is a good rapper.

Reggie's a sick rapper. It hits when it's more of a mention. When it's like a clear standout mention of like... I think when you're thrown into like a YouTuber verse. Yeah. It doesn't hit as much. No. No, yeah, because it's mentioned everyone. Yeah. It's like... Well, I mean, it's still cool. It's still very cool. Don't get me wrong. Yeah. But it's not a like, oh my God, like, listen to this. Yeah. I think it's because... This sounds bad, but you guys are obviously...

Most viewed YouTube group in the UK so it's like if someone mentions UK you're gonna be in it you know so it'd be bad if you don't get mentioned

You almost didn't. You almost just beat a squad. And KSI. And KSI. And Philly. Sometimes KSI is so big that he's not even in the sidemen. True. Right now. Yeah. He hasn't been in videos for a while. Yeah, it's true. It's true. This podcast is sponsored by Rocket Money. Did you find any subscriptions you forgot about or any you paid for twice and didn't realize it?

I keep getting, well when I get recognized obviously you always get the few things you get like Enjoying the Sabin video or your like vlogs or podcasts or whatever it is, but often so much recently is Among Us non-stop more than ever has been right? Yeah, or girls as well like by the co-op or services. Oh my god. I watched Among Us this morning So I've, as you said recently it's getting a bit stale, but why don't you guys just fucking up the levels of Among Us? Okay

So many people have said that exact sentence. How? To do more. What?

Film more. The same thing. Yep. I've just said it. You just said it's getting stale. Why not film? You said it's getting stale. I didn't say that. I think it's not getting stale. But you've said, you think it's getting stale, but why don't you just do more? Yeah, I'm saying, you stop thinking it's getting stale. You just ignore that. Just play. Because people watch it. Bro, my A staff, on lunch, just fucking watches Seven Among Us. Yeah, but they watch it because there is different things in every episode. I think, I don't know, man. I think it's just, it's so well done. And also, obviously, like, Chip Fat can't really edit it more, but...

He can get an underling that he trains. Honestly, just fucking do three a week, man. They would get watched five million views each. I'm trying to like... We're really, really pushing for... The thing I really hate, by the way, is the fact that we keep using... We keep making other games go back to that. We keep getting like...

For example, Sidemen agree or disagree. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I keep saying, can we stop making everything Among Us that's not Among Us? Yeah, just either do Among Us or just don't do that. Well, it's like, if it's Among Us, make it Among Us. But that is making people click it going, this is Among Us. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Off. Yeah. And then they don't trust the other ones. Yeah, you don't want that. You don't want that. Honestly, I mean, by the way, I think you can still improve things and like more mods and stuff. But like, ultimately...

I mean, you don't post that many of them either, by the way. It's because it's getting stale. I know, I know. It's because we need either new guests or new roles. Yeah, both are true, but I think it's way less stale than you think it is. In the comments, let me know, guys, because I think... I don't think it's stale to the point of, like, we shouldn't do it. I just think it's, like, if we start doing more and more, everyone's going to be... You might think that as playing it. I don't think the viewers will think that, because remember, like... Yeah, but they can tell how, like...

your mood while playing it they can true that's also true but i still think there needs to be more because like look at look at the comments about toby throughout now it's like oh if you just want to be there just don't play true but that's because he hates the game yeah but everyone will start to hate the game yeah i know i know well then well then fucking get or get finn and be like bro add some shit to this game we're trying yeah and by the way the answer is not polaris whatever it's called

That map stinks. And then you'll get comments like, everyone hates this because everyone does hate that map. Yeah, true. But I think we should do a Polaris one with like 20 people. Sure, sure. Because the map's huge. Yeah, because that's the only issue. You don't see anyone on the map. Yeah, that's fine. But yeah, do that with like way more people. Yeah. You don't want mods like the old mods where it's like, you just want more rolls or more things happening. Maybe like... What were the old mods?

I don't know, like, KSI's Lamborghini used to build a menu screen. Oh, that was only that one where we tried to just make a Sidemen themed. Yeah, you got it. That was the Sidemen house. That's the one, right? Where, for some reason, my PC is just bricked to that game. So every update I get, it's just that game loads. And my PC is fucked. Yeah, Among Us, long live it. Yeah.

I'm not saying for me to play more. I don't care how often I play. I've never really thought like... You don't want to be recognised more. No, I don't want to be recognised more. I don't like it. When we were in Berlin. Sorry.

Yes. Let me make fun of you. Yeah, go on. In Berlin. Viz got, like, he got recognised loads. Yeah. Yeah. It's mad. I got recognised over there in my car. It's the most embarrassing thing. I was vlogging in my car. This guy walked past me. I was like, oh, hello, mate. And I'm like, in my car is my safe space. You know what I mean? Like, when you're in your car, you're always like, no one can see me. But I just fucking caught vlogging in my car. Not an ideal moment for me.

Anyway, more among us, man. The streets need it. Best believe the streets need it. I'll try. Yeah. But yeah. Oh my God. Yeah. Let me go into this next challenge. Pull it up, Nick. Sidemen boat challenge. Yeah. I can't believe this. I was sat to freezy multiple occasions. How good would it be to bake a, uh,

Canal boat video. We've had it for like four years. What do you mean? The idea. No, no, no, no, no, no. I'm not saying this is like, oh, I wish it's my idea. That's why you're making a sound. I'm not. I'm saying this is a good idea for a YouTube video. I don't have to do it. Someone should do a canal boat video. He was like, nah. Everyone should do it. I was like, nah. Then I look at my phone, fucking Sidemen canal boat video. I'm like, oh, I was right. Canal boats are so sick. It's a 10 out of 10. Yeah. Wasn't that fun?

Did you do the locks? You got changed the locks? That's fucking sick man. It was... I don't know. I thought it was a really like kind of like it was an average to good video. Sure, sure. I didn't think it was a banger. I like about the video, the boats. How are the boats? Theirs was a lot nicer than ours. Got you. Could you see yourself enjoying four or five days on one? No. Alright.

Pull up, get a pint, get back in. Not our boat, for sure. Fishing in the morning. Ours was kind of... You were on the other team's boat, John, right? They're so fun. The locks are so fun, right? No. You get to move your boat to a different layer. Yeah, it was like the first time we did it, we were like, oh, cool. And then you do it again and you're like, this is unnecessary. Just make a slight hill. You can't. You can't, man.

Fun story, me and my family did a few holidays on these canal boats and I actually fell in. Wow. It gets worse. I fell in and in the little gap and the boat was like almost crushed me alive. I was six or seven. Fun story. And my family, thank you, my family kept walking along the sides and I was like, fuck it, I'm going to do that. Fell in and then the boat almost crushed me. It would have hurt me, but I got saved. My brother pulled me out. My dad did. My dog also fell in. Dog's dead now.

Not from that? No, we just died at an old age. Just really old. And that was when me and my brother were playing Pokemon Ruby and Pokemon Sapphire and oh my god, we were fucking full send in the game. We were finishing it, we were reading the book, the guide, we were catching the Regis. You had to read Braille. I hear that. What? On the Pokemon, on Pokemon Ruby to get to the Regi Ice, Regi Steel, Regi Rock, you had to read Braille. On the game? Yeah, it's weird. You had to just convert the dots. You obviously couldn't feel it through a screen. That's where I fell in love with Pokemon Ruby.

No, I wait to the canal boats. I would've looked come on that video. I didn't know as an option Yeah, I would have begged someone to do that. You should have I don't know you didn't I look at our boats Oh, one of my favorite things. It was Josh's video. He should asked so actually I wanna when did you do that? Could we go last week? Oh, yeah, like a week ago, you know the really hot day. I think I was in America Okay, it was like the hottest day we've had for a while. Yeah, it was it was so hot. They've been yeah, I

Basically we go into Primark and me and George kind of walk off a little bit and we're like oh we're going to go find team outfits and our whole theme was jungle so we went and bought jungle outfits. We find Harry and he's like yeah I've bought team outfits as well. He bought those. They were like women's pajamas and so we decided to use them as our sing song outfits and we had to make a team song. The whole song was about beans.

Yeah. I wanna watch this video. I love fucking canal boats, man. You're weirdly into it. I love them so much. It's like such a nostalgia hit as well. I would literally, I was gonna do a video on it a whole week. I was gonna do it 24 hours on the canal boat and Frieza told me to do a week. I was like, that's way too long. Yeah, just do it 24 hours. Not anymore. I kind of, I just. You should do it now while canal boats are in the algorithm.

Well, if you titled it Canal Boat, it would have been a one out of ten. That's where you messed up. Absolutely. Thousand Pound Boat Challenge, Canal Boat Holiday. Sidemen, Canal Boat Holiday. Oh my God. Could you stop off? You can travel the whole country. We did stop off. Yeah. Cool. We could go to a bar, do some fishing in the morning, you know, play Pokemon Ruby while you're on it. I would have brought my DS. Dude,

You're going to be on your own, right? Huh? You're going to be on your own? No, no, no. He said to me, do it on like, do seven days and then bring all the boys in like the last 24 hours or like the last party or something. But I'm not going to do it. So, but not now. What do you think of the video, John? Um, I have bias because it was one of the hardest videos I've ever had to film just because it's a narrow boat. So it's basically impossible to do it. But yeah, I thought it was all right. I think we ran out of time. So you didn't, there was no like crescendo to it, if you know what I mean.

Yeah, I get that. Yeah, Arthur and... It was Arthur and Batch, right? Yeah, correct. We were waiting at a pub and we were meant to be at the pub at like 2. We picked Arthur up at 5. Batch had to go home. Oh my god. It was only like halfway through. We ended up stopping further. Not as far as we meant to go. It was okay. I don't think it was the greatest video. Yeah. Yeah, win some, lose some. Whose video was it? Josh's. It was Josh's. Okay. Well, lucky Josh for a stinker.

You know how funny it is that we still like... Every now and then people will still mention the... What is it? Grandparents and kids rate the Sidemen. Something like that. And the video... JJ, right? That was JJ's video. It's on 5.6 million. And it's always... People always regard it as like our worst video. Yeah. But it's still... It's on 5.5. The Become Models for 24 Hours is still lower than it. On 5.3. Mad. So... Who's that one? It was...

i want josh and vick okay well josh was saying that you guys you and him are doing a lot of videos recently yeah yeah why don't you guys just do that you know like what you know i feel like it isn't doesn't like nico and aj do a lot of like why don't you guys just do all the videos you know because then we're doing all the work i know but they're better you know well that was 10 out of 10 true no but uh i mean i already said like i would actually love to sideman channel main channel i'd love to take

I'd love to just miss like three months and take every single video. Yeah, I'd organize every video saw all the edits saw all the planning everything Yeah, and just not do the shoot. Yeah, i'd love that. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, but they won't let me true Well, I mean, yeah, yeah, you could you could like try oh, yeah is what it is But i'm saying like if if sometimes if your videos don't not do better But like if they're better then you could argue that they're better

What are you saying? If certain people in this time do better videos than others, then just do that all the time and then just hire assistants to work with you guys. You can't do that. But you can argue, sure, less work for the others, but their work could be better suited to be in those videos. Maybe Harry performs better as an entertainer when he's not planning the video. Okay, but then let's say this boat video, for example. Let's say Harry's really good in it.

Josh is in it still. So Josh has done however many hours beforehand. Sure, sure. Planned everything on the day. Is still there the same amount of time as Harry. He's still on camera. Yep.

But Harry's just like really good on camera. That's the argument here. They do more reacts. They do more side men, more side cast. You and Josh have a little less responsibilities for those side of things, but you do more of a channel. I mean, you can do that, but then you have to work out a ratio of what it is. Oh, you get paid more. 2% each more. We did say, do we have to start another tally for people missing shoots for non... Injuries. Well, what's the reason? What reason...

warrants missing a side-bend shoot. Because people are starting to miss shoots all the time now. If you've missed like, I want to say, I want to say like Toby hasn't missed any, well he probably hasn't missed like one, but main channel shoots. Yeah. So should he get a week off? Yeah, I think so. I think so. Yeah, I'm there for the week off for Toby. I'm going to petition that. Can we get a petition? Can we get a, what is it? Justchange.org. Changeme.org is what it's called. Vote for change. I don't know if you've seen these guys.

FC Bruno's Magpies. Who are these? So they are, I'll give you a quick lowdown, but it's up if you want to talk about them. They're basically a bunch of mates in Gibraltar. Okay. Started a pub team. We're in the second division in Gibraltar for a couple of years. Got sort of sponsorship. And within a few years, they're now playing in the Europa League Conference playoffs. No way. And they beat a team in Ireland or Northern Ireland. And now they're playing Copenhagen.

Which beat Man United last year. Mad. And they're playing them. They lost 3-0 last Thursday, but they're playing this Thursday, the second leg. No way. In Gibraltar. It's just a bunch of mates who started a pub team. Mad. Can you pull up the map? Where is Gibraltar? In Spain? Yeah, bottom of Spain. I'd like to see it. But it's English, right? Yeah. It's really small. That's what Rodri got in trouble for. Isn't there a rock there? Yeah. It literally is a rock.

And all the wind goes over it. That's literally it. Mad. So we were going to do a Sidemen hide and seek here. Or a Sidemen... We were going to do something here. We were going to do like Sidemen hide and seek in the whole of the country. That's sick. But Harry went on holiday there the week before. And apparently just like...

People were camping outside of his hotel. They were like... Well, I imagine it's like Malta, isn't it? It's like sort of... But so much smaller. Yeah. Like how that is... Can you find out the length of that? Like how far is... Length. A little bit of whistling just going on. Three miles. Wow, he could run that. So it's a 5K. It's only one mile across. Mad. Yeah. Mad.

So you literally can't do anything. Yeah. Someone knows you're there. Yeah. They can be there in 10 minutes. Like, yeah, man. We actually, um, there's a job, a car show going on soon. No, but, um, no, but yeah, shout out to that football team as well. I'm going to become a fan. Are you? Prem starting soon. Last, last chance to join the FPL league. Oh, you've, uh, oh, he's,

That was a convincing argument, but I'm going to say no. Damn it. Yeah. Damn it. By the way, I think now if you lose, it's 10K.

I thought JJ was the only one petitioning for that. Yeah, bottom is 10k. So bottom three, second to bottom, third to bottom is 5k. Bottom, bottom is 10k. Oh my God. Is that 10k towards something? Well, it's towards the holiday, but you still... Speaking of which, by the way, so the way we did the holiday, right? And everyone sent the money to Freezy because he booked... All the losers sent it to him. He booked the trip. He had no money for like three or four weeks. And I had to ask him. He had what? It was so right. He had the money. I paid for the hotel. He's going to send the money back.

Yeah, you know what I'm saying. So I happened to text him. Oh, bro, can you send the money? And I was like, it felt like I was asking him to be paid or something. I was like, it's not his money, nor my money. I don't know why I feel so awkward asking for the money back, but I got it. That's it. Let's go.

Thanks, Harry. Why did he not just pay for it and then the three losers sent him the money? I think because that was the plan. Then we got to the hotel and all the receptionists booked it in individually. Does that make sense? They charged it individually. So we just did that. Screw it. Yeah, it's fine. Got some points for my BA here, Miles. Let's go. So JJ was trying to convince Viz, I think, to join. And...

I don't think that's happening. No, I didn't even hear about that. Yeah. I think for some reason everyone's trying to just convince someone to join. Yeah.

Well not that, the thing is you have to be very like, by the way Viz would be trustworthy, don't get me wrong, but he has to be someone you trust a lot because like obviously we just say random shit in there you know, so that's be like a real good friend you know. Not that Viz isn't, I see the comments already, oh my god. But um, you can't make a randomer in. JJ was recommending some people and we're like no way that would be, no, JJ was like um, let's tweet it. I'm like no way man, what the fuck, I don't want to tweet it.

You know. Yeah, what? What, as in you just tweet the... I don't want to join our YouTube league. Oh my God.

Not tweet the login, but tweet the code to join. Also, Viz is not good enough, man. I saw their league, by the way. I remember JJ being bottom of our league and then ChipFat being like, oh my god, replying to JJ, you're a god, what the fuck? I'm like, JJ was bottom in our league, man. Your league is like, actually really good. It's getting more sweaty because we keep upping the forfeits, the fucking challenges and all this shit. But you guys do put like,

stupid amount of hours into it. - Yeah, I've realized now it's gonna be, I've been seeing the tweets and stuff about like draft teams or the FPL accounts. I'm actually getting a little bit nervous to start again.

I don't want to lose 10k, man. By the way, Lux has been removed from the league now. He has. Yeah. See you later, Lux, mate. Shitbag. Disrespecting our league. Can't believe it. Waste of space. I want to see his because when he came on the podcast at the start of the season, he said he had a tactic that he was always subbing out

always subbing in whoever was playing Luton Town yeah he had no tactic and he was keeping tally the entire time of a point he didn't do that well he came last by a long way JJV JJV looks and JJ took like 60 hits which means he transferred 60 worth points out of his team so yeah looks like a stinker man looks like Captain Antonio and Harlan scored a hat trick and everyone kept it in Harlan so yeah Harlan's now 15 mil so he's gone up in price so either you have him or you don't but

But yeah, that's the game. There's a new rule this year, right? Yeah, I need to double check. You can make five transfers now. So back in the day, you could only stack two transfers. And then if you get two, you don't get any more. You get five now. I think it's because they want to reward people who don't play for like five weeks. Because if you miss five weeks, the season's over. So if you miss five weeks, you've got five transfers now. So it's actually more casual now, Simon, if you do want to join. I'm not joining this league. Okay. I think there's also a new scoring system.

So if a player is fouled a certain amount of times, he gets points for that now. Oh, and the bonus points. I think one thing I'd get too angry about in your group is the people who are like, just don't talk. Yeah, Chip, ChrisMD, Jmex. Yeah. Just to name a few. I'd just be really angry. I'd be like, why are you in this?

Yeah, but they still put a team in. True. Why are you in this group chat? The best part of it is when the games are on and everyone's chatting about the game. That's the best part. Because everyone watches every game, pretty much. Well, if no one has any players, you won't talk. But yeah, I think Forrest might do alright this season, actually. I'm quite hopeful. We've got a new 6'8 keeper and I'm really excited to see him. But apparently everyone's saying he's not going to start.

No, but you won't see him. Yeah, but I put him on my FL team, my draft team, so I need to reassess that. So Simon, I was just wondering, how much do you daydream? How much do I daydream? Not a lot. I don't think I daydream much. I think I go through all the bad possibilities of what could happen. Yeah. And that's about it. I had a dream last night and it was to do with like a lot of us. I was like, let me remember for the podcast and it's only what 10 a.m. and I forgot it already.

I'm glad you told me that. But I do, I don't daydream, but I dream. Okay. What's the last dream you remember? Last dream I remember, that was last night, the night before's dream, it was Ace. We had like 30 staff, sorry, 30 more staff that don't exist. And I was like, woke up and I was going to text the director, like, let's hire 30 people. No, no, no, no. Like, oh, these people need to do better. And I was like, oh, they don't exist. I was like, oh God, the fucking hell. These people need to do better, or this person. And I was like, they don't exist. But they had faces, they had names. It was mental. Were you,

You still, you dream, everyone in your dream you've seen before. Mad. Yeah. That's mad. You can't make up a face. That's mad. That is weird, isn't it? Fucking mental. Yeah. All the faces don't exist, but you think they exist. You know what I'm saying? No, you've seen them. Really? Yeah. Mad. That's a really weird thing to think about. Oh, John, mate. What the fuck, man? I had something. I texted you and I was like, make sure we talk about this next podcast. Where is it now? I show one job, man. That's a good point. Yeah. Hold on. What the fuck?

My notes app's really loaded. Right, here we go, here we go. Hold on, hold on. Oh, it's not even here. John, where is it, man? Better be a banger now. Well, now I'm scrolling through John's WhatsApp with me and him. Where is it, where is it? It's better be good, man. It's better be good. I got one, if you want. Go on, then you go. Growing Pains is finished. Oh, shit, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, man. It's ended. Yeah. That's... We are ending, isn't...

The last one, is it? No, they said we'll be back next week and it'll be the last one. Yeah, and they've uploaded it. Mad. As in that was... Oh, yeah. Yeah. I saw loads of comments being like, last ever episode and they made it 42 minutes. It's like a way shorter. Oh, wow. Yeah, I mean... Wait, so they said it would end in, and then what did they talk about in the last one? Like, memories of the podcast or something like that? Yeah, they got a couple of cards. Oh, wow. They got a present or two. Yeah.

I'll be honest, I don't watch podcasts in general, so. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't actually know. They said they just got two videos, right? Olive's going preschool or something. Yeah. I mean, end of the day, if they don't want to do it, fair enough. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's hard to get sessions in. Even it's hard for us to get sessions. Yeah. Yeah.

I've got a great question for you, Randy. If this is what I told you, it is, isn't it? What does nothing look like? Oh yeah, let me intro this, because John's just a bag of shit, man. Alright, so... Move on quick. Do you want to talk about that? John moved on, by the way. I was letting it go, by the way. You guys didn't spoke. Alright, Simon, I was scrolling TikTok the other day, and I came across a really interesting thing. What does nothing look like? Okay? So, your eyes are taking out your skull.

Not blind, your eyes are taken out. What does nothing look like? I don't know where you want me to go with this. You think black, right? You think it just looks like black. No. But it doesn't look like that. Because that's what, when they've asked blind people, what do you see? And they say nothing. Well, it depends how blind you are. Because you're like fully blind. They go, what do you see? And they always say nothing. And they're like, oh, so you just see black. They're like, no. And then the way they always say it is, imagine if you're...

Elbow was your eye. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Isn't that crazy? Yeah. So imagine if you can see through the elbow, you can't. It's impossible. We don't know what it looks like. But I would love to figure that out because like, it's not black because like that is still a color or shade or whatever. And if someone who has been, who can see is then blind, they have memories of what things look like. So you can still, you can go, okay, cool, cool. But imagine you just, you right now, I pull your eyes out. Sorry, mate. They're gone. What do you see? That's mental.

That is so crazy. And it makes me shivery.

You know, like, if you close your eyes right now, you know, you get like, reds, lights and bits like that. I think it's like that all over. I think it's not that. What is it then? Because imagine... Can you explain it then? Can you see out your elbow? No. Yeah, so that, like, it's not red, it's not black, it is nothing. You don't have eyes. Explain it then. I can't. Exactly, so how am I meant to answer your question? It's just a trick question, really. But I want you to think about it, because I'm like, I want to know, man. That's probably what dying feels like.

Yeah. No, no, no. To all the censors. Yeah. If you can't hear anything, what is... Because we can never hear nothing. If you cram your ears, you still hear a little something. Then you'll hear not a single thing. Well,

Cal had it. Cal, when you go into the echo chamber or whatever it is. Well, it's clearly not an echo chamber. The opposite. Yeah. That's nothing. I keep seeing TikToks of that. Yeah. And the person's always like, if you can survive for one hour here, you win £100,000. Cal did it. Well, Cal commented on it. I was like, I was going to send it to Lux. Yeah. And I literally looked at comments and it was Lux's top comment being like, did it for four. Yeah. He didn't get £100,000.

No, can't smell what does nothing what does no smell taste like felt like you know I feel like these ones people actually have like as in the no smell no hearing like maybe they can actually experience that I think you'll still have like a I don't know. I just just made mind blown man. What does nothing look like? You That would be a that would be at least something that'd be what I can John Nick What does nothing look like?

I think I've seen that like there might be something we can look up. I think I've seen before there's like there's people who have perceived as scientists because it's... Google what does nothing look like. Yeah. In the future this podcast clip will come up. Let's go. It's nothing man. It's nothing. You can't do it. What does absolutely nothing look like? What I'm having trouble with is what they would look like from the outside. No light, black, no colour, white. But no. No. No.

White isn't no colour. White is all colours. So no colour is either transparent black, depending on if it's opaque, reflective or transparent. Cheers, pal. Nothing, Blair. It's hard to make that interesting to the reader. I don't think this is the right site. No. Closed-eye hallucination. I mean, yeah, perhaps what it is is their imagination just takes over and then they can just see whatever they're imagining very vividly. They can't... Okay, sure. But if you've never been able to see... Alright, so in your mind, do you actually...

We've done this before, but do you think in shapes, in colors, in things? What do you think in words? When you think about stuff, so close your eyes, right? Think about a cow. Can you see a cow? I can't see a cow. If you tell me to see a cow, right now I can see a cow. Really? But only because you said, can you see a cow? But if you said, think of a cow, I think...

Cow. Word. I'm thinking of the word cow, but I can't really see the cow. I can't see it in the field, grass, I can't see colour, but I can see like... Do you see the word? No, I don't see anything. I don't see a word written, but I'm thinking of the word cow when I think of cow. Yeah, I'm thinking of cow. Cow, cow, cow, cow, cow. But I don't see it, actually. Have I said to you, like, picture a cow? Picture a cow.

I see an outline of a cow. Yeah, I can sort of, I can do the shape of it in my head, yeah, but I don't see it. Because if I gave you, if I gave you a pen and a pencil, and I said, draw a cow. Close my eyes, yeah. Close your eyes, draw a cow. You have to have seen the shape. No, I don't. My mind's just telling me which way to go. You know? My mind's just telling me what it looks like. Like, the shape of it. Yeah, but I don't see the shape, is what I'm saying. Like, I know, in my head, right, I'm thinking of a cow, and in my head, I'm doing the shape. I'm doing this.

Okay, that's a weird looking cow. A couple bubbles, but yeah. Oh, it's a strange one. So if I became blind, so not blind, if my eyes ripped out, no, I can't see a cow. Because I can't see one now. Does anyone think in pictures?

No, I talk to myself in words. If someone says, think of a cow, I can close my eyes and I can see a cow. I don't see it, though. I see an outline. I can see a cow, but it's a cartoon cow rather than a real cow. I don't know why. That's fucked up, John. That's a bit weird, man. But yeah, Adam. I guess I like...

- I can pull it from my memory. - But do you see it? - Yeah. - If I said to you, think of a cow, you literally see an image of your past cow. - That's sick. - I can see like a- - That's sick. - Whoa. - I would like that. - Yeah. - I think, by the way, when people have asked us in the chat, I've answered yes, I can see them, but I don't think I actually can. Do you know what I mean? And now I'm thinking about it. - You just lied. - No, not on purpose. I thought, 'cause I'm like, okay, think of a chair.

can't see a chip i can think i can see a chip it's the same thing as like the whole do you hear do you hear a voice or do you see i hear a voice yeah yeah is it your voice uh yeah uh i don't know what i don't know whose voice it is but it's a voice this is in the notion as well like are you angry do you when you talk to yourself in your head are you angry or are you nice to yourself like how i'm pretty negative i'm like oh you fucking piece of shit i'm negative but i'm not

Mean to myself. Sure. Sure. You know what I mean? Yeah, you're pessimistic, but yeah, you don't hate yourself. No, it's good I don't say like I go eat some lunch fat piece of shit I'm just like yeah. Oh, yeah. Well, what about you mess something up? Um, oh I think because I'm pessimistic my mind forgives it pretty quickly because it's expected I'll see you don't go on you idiot. You're so dumb. Oh

You do that out loud. I think John does that. I've heard you say that before. Yeah, I'm just explaining. That's what I do every time. John looks himself in the mirror and is like, you fucking piece of shit. That fucking idiot. No, but it's funny because I've been asking this question to people in the same vein. So when you talk to yourself in your head, how do you refer to yourself? Do you go, oh, like, what are you doing? Or because, well, there's three. I'll give you the three options that we came up with when I was talking to people. Okay, well, let me do it first and then I'll see what you do as well.

So talk to yourself in your head. Okay. Okay. Okay. So when I spoke, so there's three options. Either people refer to themselves as you or we, or there was a third person who referred to themselves every time in by their name. So there was a guy who works at Cyberman was like in his head. He's every time he does something, he's like, come on, Joe, you can do it, Joe. To myself, I'm like, oh, come on, Randy. Out loud though. I don't do it in my head. I'm like, oh, come on, Randy. Come on, come on.

What are you doing during this? Like if I'm working to meet a deadline or something like that. Okay. If I'm rushing. I want to say I say I rather than you. Or we. Don't say we. We sounds kind of like Venom scary. You know, like... Do you say... Who says... Really? That to me sounds like... That is weird, man. You feel like a...

Like you might one day just have, yeah, like venom inside you. Oh, come on. We can do better. Yeah. See, I'm also a wee. But I thought about it. The reason I end up thinking about this is I think it was the last time I was really, really drunk. I realized it because I was like, I was being sick or something. And I was like, we're okay. We could do it. We could just get back up. It was more like, I feel like, I feel like there's me who's like the physical me who's

who's like running my body but then there's like a planning me and they're like working in tangent there's like so the part of me that actions things and a part of me that plans them if you get what i'm saying and they work together i think i say i yeah i say i say i or randy but like yeah both very different yeah but i do it like one out loud one internally that's interesting i'm um i'm quite negative though to myself

Like, I should speak about this last week. I missed your Big Brother Clubs. Yeah. Slept in. Couldn't believe it. Phoned you like 12 times. Yeah, well, maybe 12, yeah. Was it 11 times? I think it was 11. Oh. But it might have been like the first one was a call, then it's like... Oh, I just chose a random number. Got you, got you, got you. Yeah, no. So I realised, I was here at the studio doing the What's Good, the What Not orders. I don't know why I did it. And then I realised, I hadn't slept since America yet.

I must have been conked. And I woke up at 8.30. I was like awake, but not out of bed yet. And the next minute it's 10 o'clock. And that's when I was internet. I was like, fuck, fuck, fuck. Piece of fucking shit. Oh, don't put that on. That's me waking up. Anyway, look at what I'm wearing. I'm wearing a golf top. So I got out of bed, literally put boxers on, golf top on, and I'm just recording. I had no, like, I didn't get ready at all. Didn't do my hair, didn't brush my teeth, just fucking sent it. Because people in the clubs has no face cam. I know, that's why. You didn't even have to put a shirt on. True, but I was vlogging. Oh, you know, you know.

Well, you are out now. I voted out, yeah. Obviously, obviously, obviously, you know. Yeah. I'm sorry. I love playing clubs as well. I actually love doing it. You only missed like two episodes.

two yeah yeah i came quite far i guess you could say yeah but i blame reeve man because i thought we were in my head i thought we were doing that tuesday night so i'd like come back from america and i was here here finished the whatnot ready for two eight for tuesday night and then he's like i can't do it i was like oh well then sure tomorrow sounds good then i just stayed up late but he was in snowden yeah he had literally just done the three peak challenge no he should have took an xbox no excuse xbox monitor hotspot

Jobs are good in men He literally like Finished climbing them Like three hours before And went straight into recording Moved his podcast as well I should have Just stayed awake then You know I could have just stayed awake But I did the orders I felt bad My guy who did the shipping I felt bad I'd messaged him So late So I just did it Yeah I shouldn't have done that Oh well Live life You had fun I had fun Fuck it

I might have been voted out anyway. But I just like playing. I love playing it. Well, you can come back for the final. Oh, when's that? It'll be in like a week. Calm. I'll do that. I want to try and get everyone back. That'd be sick. And then all the previous players vote for the win. Yeah, that makes sense. Otherwise, two people left. I vote for me. I vote for me. I love that series. It's a good series. Are we going to do it again?

I hope so. But it hasn't done as well as before. I think that's just because FIFA's died a bit. Yeah. Why didn't you start FIFA? I wanted to. I'm sure that would make sense. Because, like, I like the fact that it's sponsored and I can pay everyone that's in it. Yeah. Stuff like that. So I want to get sponsored for it. Yeah. But I need to look for a sponsor that will personally provide the amount of money to do it. Secondly, free those days. Sure. So...

Hopefully. Yeah. I'd love to do it at the start of FIFA. That'd be sick. But you do series as well, right? But fuck it, just do like your series and that series. I do both at the same time. It's literally, if I get a sponsor, if I had a sponsor non-stop, if someone said, I will just sponsor the series whenever you want to do it. Yeah. I'd finish the series, miss a week, start a new series. You can always pay them less as well, though. You pay everyone a lot of money for these. Yeah, but then it's like, I did one series before I started paying people. Yeah. And we got like four episodes in and it just,

stopped sure so i was kind of like oh okay whatever i get on sponsorship sure like i don't keep any of the sponsor yeah i literally just go i don't get out um yeah i keep obviously the ad rev yeah i'm like okay all the sponsorship is just made for yeah i mean people in it because you're all giving up time for it yeah well that i mean i guess that like i never think of the videos like that but maybe other people would think of that like you know okay i'm gonna move this and then so yeah yeah yeah yeah and it yeah it's cool yeah yeah well i think that's everything for today maybe

Good point. Yeah, we'll call it that for today. You've got Sidecast? I do have Sidecast now. Waffle again, probably talk about the boat video. Yeah. Well, you've got a guest on there today. We do. Max Walsh. Max Walsh. We can say. We can say. My A-staff and his Lich Break watch a Sidecast. Or Among Us. Yeah, yeah. It's kind of cool. I'll hear it in the background.

You could be in it. True. Could be in it. You're in it all the time as well. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, no, they always do that. The thing is, I've been in one side of a guest cast now, but all the other times I've never been in a guest cast. I've just been like filled in. I'm in the building, so I'm just stood there and everyone's like, oh my God, do you want to be in it? I'm like, fuck. I always say yes. I'm going to say no. If it happens today, I'm going to say no. I'm going to do a whatnot stream now. Yeah. Damn. What are you opening? I've got loads of stuff. I bought some stuff from America. Yeah. Like not crazy stuff, but some cool stuff. Okay. Well,

Thank you guys for watching. Thanks for listening. Goodbye. Peace, peace, peace. Woo!
