Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:19,279 --> 00:00:22,279
When we all started at school,
they would laugh at us.
2
00:00:22,279 --> 00:00:25,640
They would say, "Why do you sit at home
and talk while you play games?
3
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:26,720
That's so weird."
4
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:29,560
And to now where you say,
"I'm a YouTuber. I'm making videos."
5
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:31,040
people go, "Ah! That's so cool."
6
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:33,920
If you told me ten years ago,
we're gonna be here,
7
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:35,000
I would've laughed.
8
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:39,040
Ten years ago, I was just this kid
in my bedroom with a dream thinking,
9
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:41,760
"Oh, it'd be cool
to just make a few videos online
10
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:43,239
and see where it gets me."
11
00:00:43,239 --> 00:00:45,919
Hey, guys. Ah, and...
12
00:00:45,919 --> 00:00:48,320
... welcome to The Sidemen Channel.
13
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:53,640
The Sidemen are a group of YouTubers
that are just smashing it right now.
14
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,080
The Sidemen pioneered the idea
of a YouTube group.
15
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:01,000
I don't think there's anyone
doing it bigger or better than them.
16
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,200
They get 300 million plus views
every single month.
17
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,920
They get over a billion impressions
every month.
18
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,960
244 million followers, and that is huge.
19
00:01:09,960 --> 00:01:13,600
It goes to show
how powerful a group can be.
20
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:23,600
The feds are gonna lock us up.
21
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,479
- They're gonna lock us up.
- We're totally getting arrested.
22
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:29,720
You can't plan relatability.
23
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:34,479
It's a group of friends
organically having fun on camera.
24
00:01:34,479 --> 00:01:36,080
Here we go!
25
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:37,679
Something that you can't fake.
26
00:01:37,679 --> 00:01:42,000
You have this group of seven young men.
They all have such distinct personalities.
27
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,880
When they all come together,
it's just this amazing magic.
28
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,119
Say it again!
29
00:01:51,119 --> 00:01:52,839
We had experts come along
30
00:01:52,839 --> 00:01:55,759
and the one resounding thing
that they always say is,
31
00:01:55,759 --> 00:01:57,640
"Everything we do shouldn't work."
32
00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,280
It shouldn't work, but it does.
33
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:04,479
{\an8}The highest earning video is $587,000.
34
00:02:04,479 --> 00:02:07,360
It makes sense. It is on 92 million views.
35
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:12,160
- Shout for KSI.
- Making way for the Sidemen.
36
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:16,920
The fact that KSI has blown up
is really helpful for the Sidemen.
37
00:02:16,920 --> 00:02:18,519
Thank you for having me.
38
00:02:18,519 --> 00:02:23,280
- Ultimately, it's a great marketing tool.
- KSI!
39
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,640
A lot of people
want mainstream acceptance,
40
00:02:25,640 --> 00:02:27,560
and they want acceptance by Hollywood.
41
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,120
But who the hell cares?
42
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,840
If you're a YouTuber getting
20-30 million views a video,
43
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,519
you're getting more views than, you know,
the last ten movies to come out to buy.
44
00:02:35,519 --> 00:02:37,079
Who cares what Hollywood thinks?
45
00:02:37,079 --> 00:02:38,200
Yo.
46
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:40,920
For fuck's sake.
47
00:02:40,920 --> 00:02:44,600
Everyone recognises that people
are watching channels on YouTube.
48
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,679
They're not watching
the TV screens any more.
49
00:02:46,679 --> 00:02:49,320
Behaviour changed
because technology changed
50
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,000
and kids are the first ones who adapt.
51
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,560
Do you think that the Sidemen Sundays
would be as popular if they were on TV?
52
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:56,679
- No.
- No.
53
00:02:56,679 --> 00:02:57,840
TV's dead.
54
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,280
An online creator is able to give you
55
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:05,040
as much or as little of themselves
as they want, and it's not filtered.
56
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,440
And that is a level of engagement
that hasn't ever existed before.
57
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,480
I've been running myself into the ground
58
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:14,359
till like 4:00 or 5:00,
and like I do not feel okay.
59
00:03:14,359 --> 00:03:16,799
What the Sidemen have is so much lore.
60
00:03:16,799 --> 00:03:21,799
We've got ten years' worth of experiences,
emotional ups and downs,
61
00:03:21,799 --> 00:03:24,239
where they're falling out
or not getting on as well.
62
00:03:24,239 --> 00:03:27,239
...but I'm going home.
I'd rather get in the cab and fuck off.
63
00:03:27,239 --> 00:03:29,079
Or the dynamics in the group are shifting.
64
00:03:29,079 --> 00:03:32,280
I am no longer with the Sidemen.
65
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:33,760
But again, it's still content.
66
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:37,160
Bro, what is this?
67
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:38,679
It's a bit mad with fans,
68
00:03:38,679 --> 00:03:40,200
like there's places we can't go.
69
00:03:41,119 --> 00:03:45,200
We've kind of been swarmed
and locked in a little bit.
70
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,079
They're gonna hate me for saying this,
71
00:03:47,079 --> 00:03:49,160
but it's like the One Direction
of YouTube.
72
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,679
{\an8}Yes. You might watch my videos,
but no, you're not invited to my house.
73
00:03:52,679 --> 00:03:55,480
We had some kids run in
and kind of interrupt us mid-filming.
74
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:02,880
I don't know
how much more mental it can get
75
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:04,760
and I don't wanna find out,
to be honest.
76
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,479
We're dancing, bro. Jeez.
77
00:04:40,479 --> 00:04:44,000
- How you doing, man?
- I'm good man. Good to be back.
78
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,560
- What you been up to since the...
- What have I been up to?
79
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:51,840
Bro, I've been, erm, well,
I went Seychelles for a little bit.
80
00:04:51,840 --> 00:04:54,560
Er, about nine days. That was quite nice.
81
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,599
And now, I'm out here at Sidemen,
82
00:04:56,599 --> 00:05:01,360
and, er, we've got a crazy shoot
Takeshi's Castle style shoot.
83
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,240
- Mmm-hmm.
- And, er,
84
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,880
I've seen a few of the sets.
It looks mental.
85
00:05:06,840 --> 00:05:11,039
All right. Oh, my God. Oh, my God, bro.
86
00:05:11,039 --> 00:05:14,159
Look at this set.
It looks so much better in person.
87
00:05:14,159 --> 00:05:19,719
Bro, our production.
We keep going up, bro.
88
00:05:19,719 --> 00:05:20,640
Come on.
89
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,800
{\an8}- Brother, how you doing?
- Welcome on set.
90
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:24,520
{\an8}You have lost a little bit of weight.
91
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,440
{\an8}- Yeah. Can I play in the charity match?
- No.
92
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:27,440
{\an8}No, no, but...
93
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:28,479
{\an8}- Like...
- Being strong.
94
00:05:28,479 --> 00:05:29,880
{\an8}- I've been trying.
- Fair play.
95
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,200
- Thanks, man.
- Jeez. This looks incredible.
96
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:33,159
Yeah, I know.
97
00:05:33,159 --> 00:05:35,400
It looks sick. This looks very sick.
98
00:05:37,919 --> 00:05:39,440
Lovely stuff, mate.
99
00:05:40,919 --> 00:05:44,440
This isn't green.
This is a bit bougie, innit.
100
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:45,359
Yeah.
101
00:05:45,359 --> 00:05:46,919
We levelled up a little bit.
102
00:05:46,919 --> 00:05:50,120
Me, Vik, and Tobe are together on
this one. They're collaborative efforts.
103
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,400
It's our most expensive
and largest video ever.
104
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:53,960
Not too bad. Looks pretty good.
105
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:55,960
I disagree with what he's saying.
106
00:05:56,719 --> 00:05:59,159
{\an8}Oh. Nice to meet you.
107
00:05:59,159 --> 00:06:01,080
{\an8}Nice to meet you, too.
What are we filming for?
108
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,440
{\an8}- Er, this is our doc, right?
- Oh, really?
109
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,840
We've always had our eye
on Takeshi's Castle for the longest time.
110
00:06:07,840 --> 00:06:09,760
We grew up watching it as a game show,
111
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,479
and this was the most fun thing
that we could land on
112
00:06:12,479 --> 00:06:16,200
that would kind of mesh
what MrBeast does and what Sidemen is.
113
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,240
So hopefully, it all works out, erm...
114
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,799
Well, thanks for the life story, Vik.
I appreciate that.
115
00:06:20,799 --> 00:06:24,000
We're making...
We're making a long-form video, Harry.
116
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:26,599
- My honest opinion.
- Go on.
117
00:06:26,599 --> 00:06:28,120
I wouldn't have chosen this one.
118
00:06:29,159 --> 00:06:30,000
Fair.
119
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:31,359
Well, it was a balance between
120
00:06:31,359 --> 00:06:34,359
what can we build without it
costing another hundred grand,
121
00:06:34,359 --> 00:06:36,320
and what will be entertaining to watch.
122
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,400
To be fair, this actually cost a lot.
This floor cost like 50 grand.
123
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,159
What? What? This?
124
00:06:41,159 --> 00:06:43,799
- It's all printed, like...
- It's a mat.
125
00:06:43,799 --> 00:06:46,960
No, hang on a minute.
I could've print this for half the price.
126
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:48,919
Twenty grand.
He would've hand-drawn it.
127
00:06:48,919 --> 00:06:50,280
You can do that next time.
128
00:06:50,280 --> 00:06:51,599
Oh, I bloody well will.
129
00:06:51,599 --> 00:06:53,760
- Okay. Something like that.
- For 50 grand?
130
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:55,400
- Forgive me if I'm wrong.
- Fifty grand?
131
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,680
- I can see the seams.
- TP.
132
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,240
It's not even lined up.
133
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:04,120
Okay, guys, all cameras rolling, please.
134
00:07:05,719 --> 00:07:09,280
Three, two, one, go.
135
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:30,440
Awesome. Yes, now.
136
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,400
- Is this, er...
- Round two.
137
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:33,840
We're doing... We're doing... Sorry.
138
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:35,359
No. It's all right. It's all right.
139
00:07:35,359 --> 00:07:38,239
- I just wanted to cut him off.
- What was your question?
140
00:07:38,239 --> 00:07:42,320
I was gonna ask is this how it goes
or is the flow better for you guys?
141
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:43,960
Oh, no. No, this is... This is always...
142
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:45,359
- It's always fucking...
- Okay, good.
143
00:07:45,359 --> 00:07:47,479
It's always a shit-show.
No. No, mate.
144
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,400
Go Sidemen.
145
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,400
When we started Sidemen Sundays,
146
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,599
they were pretty much always in our house,
147
00:07:55,599 --> 00:07:58,760
and there may have not even been
a cameraman.
148
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:02,479
Now we have productions
with tons of staff on,
149
00:08:02,479 --> 00:08:04,000
have whole sets being built.
150
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,520
There's green rooms.
There's catering.
151
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,159
There's all sorts going on.
152
00:08:11,159 --> 00:08:13,919
- Ooh!
- Oh!
153
00:08:13,919 --> 00:08:15,359
There's a big hole.
154
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,799
So now it feels like
it's a fully-fledged production
155
00:08:19,799 --> 00:08:22,080
where before it was kids with cameras.
156
00:08:30,039 --> 00:08:31,960
{\an8}Tobi, eight. Take two.
157
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:33,520
See that's so surreal.
158
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:37,280
I used to fake that as a kid, like,
emulate what I see on TV
159
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,880
and now it's happening. Fuck.
160
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,280
Mum, I made it.
161
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:50,920
The core Sidemen members
is me and Tobi who went to school together
162
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,800
and then you have JJ and Simon
who went to school together.
163
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,480
Me and JJ were friends through YouTube.
164
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,560
{\an8}Funnily enough,
I was beating KSI at one point.
165
00:08:59,560 --> 00:09:01,000
{\an8}I've got something different.
166
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,040
{\an8}We're doing a set-up video
for the first time ever.
167
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,959
{\an8}Josh was one of the first
OG YouTubers.
168
00:09:07,959 --> 00:09:11,800
{\an8}He was getting crazy views,
and, yeah, he was seen as that guy.
169
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:13,360
{\an8}He was the person I looked up to.
170
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,439
{\an8}I was like, "Whoa,
it's Josh, like Zerkaa HD."
171
00:09:16,439 --> 00:09:18,400
{\an8}Hey, what?
Why's he taking that down? No.
172
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,439
{\an8}- Help.
- No. No.
173
00:09:20,439 --> 00:09:23,000
{\an8}Me and Josh
used to play FIFA together.
174
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:24,600
He was, like, top 200 in the world.
175
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:28,439
The numbers were astronomical
for that time.
176
00:09:28,439 --> 00:09:32,439
{\an8}100,000 people watching your stuff.
It was mind-blowing.
177
00:09:32,439 --> 00:09:36,439
{\an8}I heard of YouTube so late,
and it was because of JJ.
178
00:09:36,439 --> 00:09:40,439
{\an8}Word kind of got around
that he was posting videos,
179
00:09:40,439 --> 00:09:42,480
{\an8}but no one could really believe it,
180
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:47,439
{\an8}'cause at school he was, you know,
this very quiet, shy, reserved guy.
181
00:09:47,439 --> 00:09:48,520
Then you'd go on YouTube...
182
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,480
He's there going
183
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,199
It was just surreal to see.
184
00:09:54,199 --> 00:09:59,600
Grade Five, motherfucker.
185
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:01,600
I met Simon through school.
186
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:05,319
In Year 7, we hated each other.
We would always be fighting.
187
00:10:05,319 --> 00:10:11,600
Then for some reason, in Year 8 onwards
we just were cool.
188
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,680
We forgot about everything,
and we were bless.
189
00:10:15,680 --> 00:10:18,640
Ethan comes into that story,
this was, like, 2012
190
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:22,319
and on my birthday
I was watching Twitch streams,
191
00:10:22,319 --> 00:10:24,480
{\an8}and he was streaming FIFA and enjoying it.
192
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,920
{\an8}You could tell like,
"Oh, he's, like, a London lad."
193
00:10:29,560 --> 00:10:31,560
It was good vibes, good fun. He's fun.
194
00:10:31,560 --> 00:10:33,079
I got on with well very quickly.
195
00:10:33,079 --> 00:10:35,520
There's a lot of, like,
common interests we had.
196
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,520
{\an8}People didn't care about
how many goals we scored in FIFA,
197
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,560
{\an8}they cared about the commentary
and the fun and the jokes.
198
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:45,520
♪ I'm playing FIFA ♪
199
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,560
One night,
something's wrong with YouTube,
200
00:10:49,560 --> 00:10:51,600
and when things go wrong,
me and Vik would talk.
201
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:55,480
But at the time, I was
in another Skype call with the other boys.
202
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:59,520
And we were chatting about it,
and Vik was chatting to me, personally.
203
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:01,520
So I was like,
"Oh, Vik, just come in the call."
204
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:05,560
{\an8}It's bizarre when you think
you can pinpoint individual sentences
205
00:11:05,560 --> 00:11:09,760
{\an8}that changed the course
of the next ten years of all of our lives.
206
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:16,480
Harry joined the Sidemen
because he was blowing up crazily.
207
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:21,199
{\an8}Ah.
208
00:11:21,199 --> 00:11:23,000
{\an8}He was a superstar before the Sidemen.
209
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,719
{\an8}He was the young FIFA guy
that made his own comment.
210
00:11:25,719 --> 00:11:31,760
{\an8}Oh, my fucking... What the fuck! I am done!
211
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,880
{\an8}Oh, shit! Oh, that's properly fucked.
212
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,600
{\an8}My unique selling point
was that I was really bad at the game,
213
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,560
{\an8}but I enjoyed
the whole video-making process.
214
00:11:40,560 --> 00:11:42,560
He came and he stuck and, erm,
215
00:11:42,560 --> 00:11:44,560
he's like, sort of,
forever been under the wing.
216
00:11:44,560 --> 00:11:46,640
{\an8}At the end of the day,
we were just friends.
217
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:50,360
{\an8}People ended up connecting with us
'cause of our connection on screens.
218
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,160
It's quite cute, really.
219
00:11:55,719 --> 00:11:58,120
The first Sidemen house
is a fun one.
220
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,560
It's just of me, Simon, Vik and JJ.
221
00:12:01,560 --> 00:12:03,520
And from the get-go the attitude was,
222
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,520
"We're here. We're working.
We're going for it."
223
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:09,079
Kitchen! Fridge!
224
00:12:09,079 --> 00:12:11,839
- Zebra in a box.
- Hello.
225
00:12:11,839 --> 00:12:17,079
The first Sidemen house was known by many
as the factory.
226
00:12:17,079 --> 00:12:19,199
And believe me, that was...
227
00:12:19,199 --> 00:12:23,400
that was an assembly line of content
all hours of the day.
228
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,240
We'd eat dinner, film, finish filming,
229
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,480
go downstairs,
film something else in the kitchen,
230
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:31,640
wake up, edit, edit, edit.
231
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,079
And then go back into that same routine
every day.
232
00:12:34,079 --> 00:12:36,760
{\an8}These guys are sitting in every day
playing video games.
233
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:38,760
{\an8}I just couldn't believe what I was seeing.
234
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:40,640
{\an8}Like these guys continuously working.
235
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:45,640
{\an8}And, yeah, I... Look, I don't think
it is healthy to work as much as they did.
236
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:52,280
These guys are confined in their rooms,
sitting, playing video games non-stop.
237
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,800
But you could argue
like that was the difference maker
238
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:58,839
between them being where they are now
and... and maybe a different outcome.
239
00:12:58,839 --> 00:13:01,319
You boys have no life!
You don't do anything!
240
00:13:01,319 --> 00:13:04,439
You sit in your bedrooms
all day, getting old!
241
00:13:04,439 --> 00:13:06,959
Your... your lives withering away!
242
00:13:06,959 --> 00:13:09,839
What are you doing with your...
go do something!
243
00:13:09,839 --> 00:13:14,400
Why? Why? You can't just stare at a screen
till you're 60?
244
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:18,959
Live! Experience the life!
Visit a country. Do something.
245
00:13:18,959 --> 00:13:20,520
{\an8}I can't.
246
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,000
{\an8}Do anything, bro. Go on a hike.
247
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,599
At the start,
I didn't see it as a job.
248
00:13:27,599 --> 00:13:31,599
I was, literally, posting every day
because I wanted to.
249
00:13:31,599 --> 00:13:35,640
I'm literally living with my best mates,
and everything I'm doing is fun.
250
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:37,599
So why not just do that all the time?
251
00:13:37,599 --> 00:13:42,160
Best episode is definitely the one with,
er, the--
252
00:13:45,839 --> 00:13:51,000
What the fuck? For fuck's sake.
253
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:52,839
Do what?
254
00:13:52,839 --> 00:13:57,319
Oh, shit. Oh. Ah. Ah.
255
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:04,480
It was relentless. It didn't stop.
But everything was paying off so well
256
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:08,120
and the space was, compared to now,
it was so unsaturated,
257
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:12,280
{\an8}that the more content we could make,
the more views we were gonna get.
258
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,240
There was no level of quality
259
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,000
that had hit the platform
in the same way that it has now.
260
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,040
So, for us, it was a win-win-win.
261
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:23,319
It was fascinating
to be part of YouTube early on
262
00:14:23,319 --> 00:14:29,959
{\an8}and seeing those talented young people
creating the future back then.
263
00:14:29,959 --> 00:14:32,479
{\an8}And many people didn't understand,
including myself.
264
00:14:32,479 --> 00:14:33,800
{\an8}It was unique.
265
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:36,920
It's seldom you have that feeling.
266
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:41,599
When something is created
that is beyond those people creating it,
267
00:14:41,599 --> 00:14:44,439
they didn't even understand
what they were creating.
268
00:14:46,439 --> 00:14:48,839
The main difference
between YouTube
269
00:14:48,839 --> 00:14:51,280
and the traditional media companies,
270
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,000
{\an8}it's an issue of control and gatekeeping.
271
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,760
{\an8}So the broadcasters would always,
in the past,
272
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,599
have been the people who would decide
who's on TV,
273
00:14:59,599 --> 00:15:01,640
what they're doing on TV.
274
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:04,240
YouTube completely turned that
on its head.
275
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:08,560
It effectively said, there's no barriers
for you to get your content out there.
276
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:10,479
You can do what you like.
277
00:15:10,479 --> 00:15:13,160
There's not gonna be a producer
or a commissioner
278
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,360
telling you exactly how to do that.
279
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:19,120
That's where things have been interesting
over the last 15 years.
280
00:15:19,599 --> 00:15:21,439
{\an8}It was like a perfect storm really
281
00:15:21,439 --> 00:15:24,040
{\an8}because every success you was having
was new.
282
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,680
{\an8}It was exciting,
and you was on the treadmill.
283
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:30,599
But when you're on it, it's so natural.
284
00:15:30,599 --> 00:15:32,199
You could be on the fastest setting,
285
00:15:32,199 --> 00:15:34,240
and you're going,
and nothing can stop you.
286
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,000
You're just going, going, going.
287
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:47,880
The Zerkaa name
holds a lot of weight.
288
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,319
If we're taking about Sidemen stuff,
289
00:15:50,319 --> 00:15:51,959
I wanna hear what Josh thinks about it
290
00:15:51,959 --> 00:15:55,120
'cause I just feel like he's a very
tuned-in guy about that kind of stuff.
291
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:57,560
He's also just a nice guy.
He's a friendly guy.
292
00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:00,800
Josh has been the same
for as long as I've known him.
293
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:04,479
Very fun, but at the same time
very calculated and smart
294
00:16:04,479 --> 00:16:07,160
and he thinks about everything
that he does.
295
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,959
One thing that nobody knows about you.
296
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:12,359
- Oh. One thing.
- Nobody though?
297
00:16:12,359 --> 00:16:14,680
Nobody. You're revealing a secret
to the world
298
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:16,760
- for the first time, exclusive...
- We know.
299
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:17,839
Premiere.
300
00:16:17,839 --> 00:16:22,959
Things you don't know about me.
Erm, ah. I suffer from crippling anxiety.
301
00:16:22,959 --> 00:16:27,560
I... sometimes have panic attacks
in the shower 'cause of fear of death.
302
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,719
My anxiety,
it's a mixture of things.
303
00:16:36,599 --> 00:16:38,719
It makes me very hyper-aware
of everything.
304
00:16:38,719 --> 00:16:40,760
I'm very calculated in what I do.
305
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,719
But that doesn't come because I want to.
It comes 'cause of how I think.
306
00:16:43,719 --> 00:16:45,400
It works for me,
307
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:50,280
but, obviously, it's not an ideal thing
to be doing I guess.
308
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:52,240
It's weird though, right?
309
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:56,040
Like, it's a weird discussion
'cause obviously like,
310
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:59,400
"Should I feel bad about that?
Is it a good thing?"
311
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:03,120
I... I'm very anxious,
so it made me very good at work.
312
00:17:10,879 --> 00:17:14,520
The way that I've always dealt with things
is... was through gaming.
313
00:17:15,159 --> 00:17:17,200
It's like a whole world
you can go and escape in.
314
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:20,319
And the greatest example that I use
is the reason why I'm here today
315
00:17:20,319 --> 00:17:23,399
is because, when I was younger,
my parents got divorced
316
00:17:23,399 --> 00:17:26,520
and when there was arguments going on
or stuff going on,
317
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:28,879
sat in my room,
played Call of Duty all night
318
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:34,720
{\an8}which led me to go down the path
of playing Call of Duty competitively,
319
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,280
which then led me to be a YouTuber
which is where I am today.
320
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,159
So, in the weirdest way possible,
321
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:42,919
those arguments and my parents
breaking up,
322
00:17:42,919 --> 00:17:44,919
was one of the best things that happened.
323
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,080
- It's mental.
- It is insane, innit.
324
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,480
- Actually insane.
- Got a little inside theatre.
325
00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,040
Bro's got a cinema in his house.
326
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,399
- This the master bedroom?
- Yes.
327
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:09,960
So if you want tonight, er,
press the button, put the shades down.
328
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:15,919
It's actually scary.
I know everywhere here way too well.
329
00:18:15,919 --> 00:18:18,280
You've picked the locations
'cause of GTA?
330
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:19,240
Yeah.
331
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:22,680
Do you know how sad it is
that I know GTA road names off by heart?
332
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:26,080
- That's pretty--
- Like the whole city. It's fucked up.
333
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,159
I tried to catch the spares,
so I don't catch nothing.
334
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,480
- Harry, anything?
- I'm ready to have a great day.
335
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:35,000
All right, guys, gather up.
336
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,320
Maybe, just saying,
we just get the shot and then
337
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:40,639
we'll just cheat it in the edit,
so it looks like at the same time.
338
00:18:40,639 --> 00:18:42,600
- Ready?
- All right. Let's get it.
339
00:18:44,360 --> 00:18:47,480
Welcome to LA, boys.
340
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,040
This time, we're in America.
341
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:53,320
Basically, we're trying to get
that MrBeast American audience.
342
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:57,040
I feel like we've had everything but that.
343
00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:00,720
We've definitely conquered the UK.
We've smashed it in Europe.
344
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,440
We, kind of, just need
that American audience
345
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,679
and this is a great way to do it,
us being out here,
346
00:19:06,679 --> 00:19:09,360
showing, you know,
the love that we have for America
347
00:19:09,360 --> 00:19:11,720
and also making good videos out here.
348
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:15,040
I'm excited, man. I feel like
this is gonna take us to the next level.
349
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:16,280
It's finally here.
350
00:19:17,879 --> 00:19:20,879
{\an8}Okay can you... bro.
351
00:19:20,879 --> 00:19:23,639
{\an8}- You don't know what we're doing.
- What do you mean?
352
00:19:23,639 --> 00:19:25,440
{\an8}Like we don't know what we're...
what this is?
353
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,879
{\an8}Oh, what you do?
Walk up, say your name, your age.
354
00:19:28,879 --> 00:19:30,600
Ten shakes, ten guys.
355
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:32,720
- Do we have to make up the lines?
- Yeah.
356
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:35,240
- I've gotta get to work, bro.
- Why'd you have to work?
357
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:36,520
- I...
- What do you mean?
358
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:38,000
I don't have any lines, dude.
359
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,800
The US trip was something.
We filmed like three videos out there.
360
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:45,440
Er, I'm KSI, 29 and, er...
361
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,200
Okay.
362
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:52,360
Spent something around
half a million dollars on that trip.
363
00:19:52,360 --> 00:19:54,720
So there's a lot of money
going into these projects
364
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,440
which is, in return,
a lot of pressure to deliver.
365
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,080
It'd be in Hollywood.
It'd be near our hotel.
366
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,240
Mate, and also,
the quicker you get stuff done,
367
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:06,200
the less traffic there'll be coming back
from Venice Beach to Hollywood.
368
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:07,280
All right.
369
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,720
So just make sure
they just don't go mope about...
370
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:13,280
Yeah, that's good.
That's good content, anyway. All right.
371
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:14,840
Er, I'm just tired.
372
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,520
- No one's had any sleep.
- No one's had sleep.
373
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:20,639
It was all a bit like chaotic and...
and crazy.
374
00:20:20,639 --> 00:20:23,879
It's a ropey one. It's, er,
a lot of pressure on this video.
375
00:20:23,879 --> 00:20:26,480
And you think, "Oh, yeah.
LA's a great place to film."
376
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:28,080
Erm, turns out it's not.
377
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:31,159
America is a, sort of, awkward place
to film 'cause they all know.
378
00:20:31,159 --> 00:20:35,600
They get it. They understand filming,
so like, "Right. You guys earn money.
379
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,040
We will charge you this much, use this."
380
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,440
And it's just ridiculous rates
all the time.
381
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,360
Whatever happens, you roll
with the punches and make it work.
382
00:20:43,360 --> 00:20:44,360
That's what we do.
383
00:20:44,360 --> 00:20:46,960
We make stuff work
regardless of the circumstances.
384
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,159
A lot of people underestimate
385
00:20:51,159 --> 00:20:53,960
how hard it is to be successful
as a creator.
386
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:57,520
And I get really frustrated with
how dismissive people are of creators
387
00:20:57,520 --> 00:20:58,760
{\an8}thinking, "Oh, it's easy."
388
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:01,200
{\an8}They're in their bedroom,
and they just talk nonsense.
389
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,000
{\an8}That is rubbish.
390
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:08,000
{\an8}It is so hard to get cut-through,
particularly on a platform like YouTube
391
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,040
where there are 600 hours uploaded
every minute.
392
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:20,360
I do think it's good. How are you?
Jump in the middle.
393
00:21:20,360 --> 00:21:21,919
Okay.
394
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:24,520
- Thank you, man.
- Thank you, guys. Thank you.
395
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:30,320
Nice to meet you guys.
396
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:34,639
Oh, my God.
I don't wanna make you feel old,
397
00:21:34,639 --> 00:21:37,440
but back when I was younger, dude,
I still watch y'all today.
398
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:39,840
- I'm kind of shaky, so...
- Thank you very much.
399
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:41,919
You know, thank you. Thank you.
400
00:21:41,919 --> 00:21:46,720
Fans feel like they know us better
than traditional celebrities
401
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:48,960
'cause they are seeing us as us.
402
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:51,120
When you see a footballer,
you see them kick a ball.
403
00:21:51,120 --> 00:21:52,439
You don't see any personality.
404
00:21:52,439 --> 00:21:54,560
When you see an actor,
they're being someone else.
405
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:56,639
When it's us, you're literally seeing...
406
00:21:56,639 --> 00:21:58,760
you know, you're seeing Tobi be Tobi.
That's it.
407
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:05,040
- How are you? Feeling good?
- Good.
408
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:06,480
Good man. Good chilling.
409
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,080
- Yeah. Can I get a picture?
- Of course you can, brother.
410
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:12,360
- Bet you didn't expect to see me.
- Yeah. Nope!
411
00:22:12,360 --> 00:22:14,800
Honest... Honestly no.
412
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,639
- You filming YouTube?
- Yeah, bro. We're doing a road trip.
413
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,280
- I'm in the middle of the desert, bro...
- And someone's clicked you.
414
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:25,800
That's so crazy, man.
415
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,480
You lot are crazy.
I fucking love you lot so much, man.
416
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,360
They're running to me.
This is not safe.
417
00:22:40,360 --> 00:22:41,600
Ah.
418
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:43,080
Hello, everyone.
419
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:48,000
Our first event as the Sidemen Insomnia
was a real eye-opener.
420
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:49,960
It legitimised what we did.
421
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:56,040
It turned those numbers and those comments
into real faces, real people.
422
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:59,720
It really started to make us understand
the power of the Sidemen brand,
423
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:02,320
more so than we did up until that point.
424
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:08,000
The one, the only the Sidemen.
Sidemen, everyone. Whoo!
425
00:23:26,399 --> 00:23:30,200
That was the first time, I think,
we realised that it was like a big deal.
426
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,720
Felt really weird
'cause we do everything online
427
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,879
and then you go to this place
and you're meeting these people.
428
00:23:35,879 --> 00:23:37,480
It was really weird.
429
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:39,120
And back then, that was mental.
430
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:46,040
{\an8}They ran a merch stall
at Insomnia, and they ran it as cash only.
431
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:48,560
{\an8}This is... this is how humble
their background was, right?
432
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:51,919
{\an8}They literally had printed some t-shirts
and hoodies, took them to this event
433
00:23:51,919 --> 00:23:55,080
and Josh said he had a rucksack
with £100,000 in cash.
434
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:59,879
{\an8}It was at that moment, for me,
I was... you know, brought to my attention
435
00:23:59,879 --> 00:24:03,080
how powerful these guys are
in that community.
436
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:06,240
All right. That's the end of Insomnia!
437
00:24:08,919 --> 00:24:11,720
Yeah. Thank you, guys.
438
00:24:12,919 --> 00:24:14,240
That's a wrap.
439
00:24:19,399 --> 00:24:20,800
In the early days,
440
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:26,919
monetisation made it possible
to create this industry.
441
00:24:26,919 --> 00:24:30,520
I was a broke-ass uni student, right?
I was living off of Subway points.
442
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:33,800
I promise you, like my Subway card
was the most valuable thing in my wallet.
443
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,879
When I'm seeing that the stuff
that I'm doing on YouTube
444
00:24:36,879 --> 00:24:39,399
has the potential to get me some money
445
00:24:39,399 --> 00:24:43,399
that I can use to pay off these expenses
that I have while I'm studying,
446
00:24:43,399 --> 00:24:46,000
I'm like, "Okay, cool.
That is a motivating factor."
447
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:47,600
It was like, "Hang on a second.
448
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,000
The more I can crank
this number of views up,
449
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,960
the more money I get in my bank
at the end of the month.
450
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,280
The more validation this has,
451
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:57,800
the more cool things
that I can buy and do."
452
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:01,639
You uploaded these videos
on a weekly basis,
453
00:25:01,639 --> 00:25:03,240
and you got more and more audience,
454
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:05,520
and suddenly, the algorithm recognise you
455
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:08,600
and you start making money on advertising
that YouTube was selling.
456
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:12,760
And the big ones were making millions.
457
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,320
I got a bloody Lambo
when I was like 18
458
00:25:19,399 --> 00:25:21,280
'cause I was making decent money
back then.
459
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:24,679
Obviously a horrendous
and fiscally irresponsible idea
460
00:25:24,679 --> 00:25:27,120
because the insurance itself
cost more than the car.
461
00:25:27,120 --> 00:25:29,080
Look what I've done already.
462
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,080
It was ridiculous.
463
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:34,960
I bought a pair of shoes that was $30,000.
464
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:36,919
- Ah!
- Mate.
465
00:25:36,919 --> 00:25:38,840
{\an8}$35,000.
466
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:40,840
Ta-da.
467
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:42,040
Bought a gold PS5.
468
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,120
Looks like you're holding a baby.
469
00:25:44,120 --> 00:25:47,040
No. I'd take way more care with this.
470
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:48,600
Baby ain't worth $8,000.
471
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,240
Oh. Whoa.
472
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:58,360
Buying a Lamborghini
and then colouring it purple Tron
473
00:25:58,360 --> 00:26:02,240
even having, like,
Need For Speed LED lights underneath.
474
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:06,159
I mean it looked cool as fuck
but the amount of attention that I got...
475
00:26:06,159 --> 00:26:08,080
was incredible.
476
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:17,040
When I was younger, I'd always be like,
"I need this amount of money."
477
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:20,760
And when I've got this amount of money,
I can just stop doing YouTube
478
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,040
and just live my life and travel and...
479
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:26,560
because that's really what I wanna do.
I wanna have fun and do stuff.
480
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:28,919
But then I realised,
I should really be saving
481
00:26:28,919 --> 00:26:31,280
in case I've got like a family
in the future.
482
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:33,919
And I wanna like put my money
to a good cause
483
00:26:33,919 --> 00:26:36,240
and like do like actual
good stuff with it.
484
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:47,360
Harry is unapologetically himself.
And he's just so weird.
485
00:26:47,360 --> 00:26:48,720
No, no, no, no, no, no.
486
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:50,919
He's so weird.
487
00:26:50,919 --> 00:26:53,439
But normal at the same time.
488
00:26:53,439 --> 00:26:55,000
People know he's outrageous.
489
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:58,600
People know he says outrageous things.
He's free to be that.
490
00:26:58,600 --> 00:26:59,520
Ah.
491
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:03,480
Ooh.
492
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:05,240
So what this intro was meant to be
493
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:08,159
was me hitting the bucket of drinks
all over my mum.
494
00:27:08,159 --> 00:27:09,159
But instead...
495
00:27:22,879 --> 00:27:25,320
I was really lucky
to grow up in Guernsey
496
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:29,439
because it's just like the perfect little
adventure playground for a kid.
497
00:27:29,439 --> 00:27:33,800
I used to build like treehouses and stuff.
I used to just, I don't know, muck about.
498
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:34,960
I was bit of a weird kid
499
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:37,840
so I didn't have a load of friends
when I was growing up there
500
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:41,480
but I think being the weird kid
pushed me into doing YouTube.
501
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:45,399
As soon as YouTube was like a half-thing
like people were posting, I was on there.
502
00:27:45,399 --> 00:27:47,520
And I know a lot of the guys
are OGs on YouTube,
503
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:49,080
but I promise you I wasn't far behind
504
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:51,919
because I was posting, like...
not even like proper videos,
505
00:27:51,919 --> 00:27:54,960
Just like me editing
like special effects of stuff.
506
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:58,800
{\an8}Hey, guys.
This is gonna be a quick...
507
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:00,280
{\an8}unedited vlog...
508
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:03,399
{\an8}For Adam on your PC
for his Christmas collab video, erm,
509
00:28:03,399 --> 00:28:05,960
{\an8}pretty much all I have to say is
Merry Christmas.
510
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,000
{\an8}I hope you get all the presents you want.
511
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,000
{\an8}And if you don't, then shoot Santa.
512
00:28:10,639 --> 00:28:13,199
Harry Stevens
on camera really. He's very lovable.
513
00:28:13,199 --> 00:28:14,639
Now we're talking.
514
00:28:14,639 --> 00:28:18,199
Like a Golden retriever, like a Labrador.
Like that type of energy.
515
00:28:18,199 --> 00:28:20,600
He's just cuddly, you know?
So he's a great guy.
516
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:21,840
{\an8}Very hard worker as well.
517
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:24,800
{\an8}People think maybe...
they would think that he's, like, lazy
518
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,600
{\an8}'cause he doesn't post all the time
but he's not.
519
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:29,280
{\an8}When he sets out to do something,
520
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:32,639
{\an8}he does it to the best of his ability,
and he creates the best content.
521
00:28:33,439 --> 00:28:37,520
{\an8}A hard work ethic is really the glue
that binds the seven of them together.
522
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:39,600
{\an8}The fact that they keep doing it
523
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,159
{\an8}with such a smile on their face,
loving what they do,
524
00:28:42,159 --> 00:28:45,439
is a testament to their friendship
but also that work ethic
525
00:28:45,439 --> 00:28:48,760
which really has enabled them
to get to this position.
526
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:52,000
'cause not many people are here
after ten years,
527
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,399
more relevant than ever
and growing at a pace
528
00:28:54,399 --> 00:28:57,720
that you would assume this was
their first year, not their tenth.
529
00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:00,639
What do you think motivates us
to keep going?
530
00:29:00,639 --> 00:29:02,280
Legacy.
531
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:04,679
- I mean for me it's always legacy, but--
- Ego.
532
00:29:04,679 --> 00:29:07,919
I think deep down we've worked so hard
to get to the top that...
533
00:29:07,919 --> 00:29:09,959
- We don't wanna let it go.
- We can't let go now.
534
00:29:09,959 --> 00:29:11,280
Don't wanna be washed.
535
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:14,240
That's the same reason
why I assume you still post videos
536
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:15,879
'cause you could stop tomorrow,
537
00:29:15,879 --> 00:29:17,480
- and you would slowly like--
- He has.
538
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:19,480
He stopped two years ago.
539
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:21,600
- Sidemen.
- No. But you could stop Sidemen.
540
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:25,280
- You could stop Sidemen. You could chill.
- I'm down for that. That's a great plan.
541
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:26,360
So why don't you leave?
542
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:28,639
He's like, "Can't wait
for this thing to end."
543
00:29:28,639 --> 00:29:30,240
Yeah. I think... I think I'm close.
544
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:32,480
I think I'm... I think I'm close.
545
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:34,560
We all laugh when he says it. Yeah...
546
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,159
No. I always hear the...
you can hear the truth in his voice.
547
00:29:37,159 --> 00:29:38,520
The truth in it every time.
548
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:40,919
- But like what is...
- It gets stronger every time as well.
549
00:29:40,919 --> 00:29:44,639
What keeps you going
from stopping tomorrow?
550
00:29:44,639 --> 00:29:46,240
Because I enjoy it still.
551
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:47,560
I enjoy, er, I enjoy it.
552
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:50,399
But also I enjoy the... It's... this stuff.
553
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:56,879
This is like... and like the shoots...
the shoots I enjoy, it's just...
554
00:29:56,879 --> 00:29:59,679
It's everything
where you are technically in charge.
555
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:01,360
I guess so. Yeah.
556
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:03,639
If this was to come to a vote,
you would've said no.
557
00:30:03,639 --> 00:30:04,959
- What do you mean?
- Like this.
558
00:30:04,959 --> 00:30:07,240
- To do this whole piece.
- You'd give a no, innit?
559
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:08,879
You're all lovely people, but yeah.
560
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:12,720
- It's not... yeah. I don't know.
- It's fair.
561
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:14,959
What? So what are you guys gonna...
562
00:30:14,959 --> 00:30:15,919
What's your plan?
563
00:30:15,919 --> 00:30:19,800
- So I see YouTube as the core, the heart.
- The foundation.
564
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,679
- Without YouTube... everything dies.
- That's so smart, man.
565
00:30:22,679 --> 00:30:24,199
So I wouldn't be able to box,
566
00:30:24,199 --> 00:30:26,840
I wouldn't be able to do music
without YouTube.
567
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:29,320
So I always feel like
I have to post content there
568
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:31,280
to make sure everything else thrives.
569
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:53,760
KSI. KSI.
570
00:30:57,560 --> 00:30:59,720
From London, England,
571
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:03,600
the social media legend, recording artist,
572
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:07,600
actor, songwriter, rapper,
573
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:11,480
the undefeated
Misfits cruiserweight champion,
574
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:15,560
the nightmare,
575
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:21,280
KSI!
576
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:27,080
Gonna go for six rounds.
KSI and Temperrr.
577
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:30,280
This right here
is where the fight's gonna be decided.
578
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:31,320
KSI said this week,
579
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:33,879
"I'm willing to eat those
to get to where I wanna get to."
580
00:31:33,879 --> 00:31:35,280
Tommy's gotta stay on his bike.
581
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:37,120
Don't get lulled
into playing a trade game.
582
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:41,280
Ooh.
583
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:47,240
Yeah. Those shots land and they hurt.
584
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:50,280
Gotta work angles if you're Tommy.
He can't attack in straight lines.
585
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:52,360
KSI could step back and land a bomb.
586
00:31:57,280 --> 00:31:58,600
Can he get up?
587
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:00,600
Oh, can he get up?
It's done!
588
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:02,439
- It's done!
- That's it!
589
00:32:02,439 --> 00:32:06,760
KSI! What a knockout!
590
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:09,080
- What a knockout.
- Oh, my God.
591
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:11,199
The winner
by a knockout victory,
592
00:32:11,199 --> 00:32:13,560
still undefeated
593
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:18,520
and still
the Misfits cruiserweight champion,
594
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:22,679
KSI!
595
00:32:48,439 --> 00:32:51,719
As soon as he walks out,
I get incredibly nervous.
596
00:32:51,719 --> 00:32:53,240
When he gets punched a little bit,
597
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:57,480
everyone in the Sidemen and troops
and everyone like that just goes, "No."
598
00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:01,719
And we fear. But in my heart,
I'm just like I know he wins.
599
00:33:03,919 --> 00:33:06,679
Stop boxing. We have videos to make, JJ.
600
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:09,520
Fuck.
601
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:11,480
We've got videos to make,
602
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:15,480
and you're doing camp for six weeks
at a time. Fuck.
603
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:25,399
Life was interesting
with me and my family.
604
00:33:25,399 --> 00:33:27,439
You know we weren't super rich.
605
00:33:27,439 --> 00:33:31,080
Both my parents were, I guess, immigrants.
606
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:33,760
They came over from Nigeria
607
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:38,199
and just put a lot of work
into me and my bro.
608
00:33:38,199 --> 00:33:42,399
Get out.
609
00:33:42,399 --> 00:33:45,120
Hey, guys. Olajide BT,
610
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:49,080
and today I'm doing a Q&A Sunday
with my bro. Say "hi."
611
00:33:50,879 --> 00:33:51,760
You're such an idiot.
612
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:55,600
My earliest memory of Deji
was when he...
613
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:58,879
he couldn't...
couldn't hold his piss
614
00:33:58,879 --> 00:34:01,320
and my mum gave him a bottle.
615
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:04,000
So he tried peeing in a bottle
and his dick fell out,
616
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,040
and he just starting pissing all over me.
617
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:09,520
Yeah, I was, that was an experience.
618
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:13,719
JJ went from this super nerdy,
like, super shy guy
619
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,639
to one of the most famous people
in the country maybe in the world.
620
00:34:16,639 --> 00:34:21,360
You know boxer, rapper,
and also he carried the entire UK scene.
621
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:24,480
The UK would not be like this
without JJ on YouTube for sure.
622
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:26,080
Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
623
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:28,480
JJ is... he's a funny character.
624
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:34,719
He's the most egotistical person
and the most humble person simultaneously.
625
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:36,560
What's up, bro?
626
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:40,400
And when that camera is on,
his character is in full flow.
627
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:42,520
So, everything that you know about JJ
628
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:45,759
is elevated probably
like five times minimum.
629
00:34:45,759 --> 00:34:49,839
- Oh, my God!
- Open the window.
630
00:34:49,839 --> 00:34:52,440
No! There's a bug, bro!
Ah! Get it... get it out, bro.
631
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:54,960
I'm-a die. I'm-a die. I'm-a die, bro.
632
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:59,880
Oh, no. Get out! Ah, shit! Shit!
633
00:34:59,880 --> 00:35:04,040
I think my parents' work ethic
is definitely a huge reason
634
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:05,680
why I'm so successful.
635
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:07,200
I'm just always grinding.
636
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:10,040
Like I always have said
that I'm not talented.
637
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:12,520
I'm just a person
that just works extremely hard.
638
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:13,880
There's a saying where
639
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:16,880
if you put 10,000 hours into something
you become a master at it.
640
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:20,880
And you know I've definitely
had 10,000 hours on YouTube
641
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:22,759
and that's why I'm in the position I'm in.

In 2017, I definitely felt like,
as a YouTuber
649
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:51,279
there was just no way
you could do music properly.
650
00:35:51,279 --> 00:35:53,960
People struggled to differentiate
651
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:58,960
between a musician putting out,
you know, heartfelt music
652
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:00,960
and music that was important to you,
653
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:05,600
and then also a YouTuber
who's able to make funny random videos.
654
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:08,440
♪ La-Lamborghini, La-Lamborghini ♪
655
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:11,279
♪ Ride so quick
You would think I'm Houdini ♪
656
00:36:11,279 --> 00:36:14,880
So I was kind of battling with that aspect
657
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:21,440
and decided I wanted to become a musician
and really focus on music.
658
00:36:28,839 --> 00:36:34,520
Er...
659
00:36:35,799 --> 00:36:41,839
Obviously this is, er...
this is not an easy, er...
660
00:36:41,839 --> 00:36:43,960
this is not an easy video to make.
661
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:50,200
I am no longer with the Sidemen.
662
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:52,759
I think I was just on my computer,
and it came up.
663
00:36:52,759 --> 00:36:55,319
And then the group chat
started popping off like,
664
00:36:55,319 --> 00:36:57,880
"What's going on, JJ?
Why, er, what is this video?
665
00:36:57,880 --> 00:36:59,720
"Like are you serious? Are you not?"
666
00:36:59,720 --> 00:37:01,279
Obviously, I love the guys.
667
00:37:01,279 --> 00:37:03,120
Guys will always be in my heart.
668
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:06,160
But, er, you know,
all good things come to an end I guess.
669
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:09,920
JJ is a very trusting guy.
670
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:14,120
And I know that he had countless people
telling him to leave Sidemen,
671
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:17,319
"Come to LA. You can be way bigger."
Blah, blah, blah.
672
00:37:17,319 --> 00:37:19,560
Selling him like a proper dream.
673
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:23,440
So it was a nervous time for all of us
in terms of would he... would he leave?
674
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:27,600
Why I'm leaving Sidemen? Er...
675
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:28,920
mainly because of Ethan.
676
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:31,480
I'd say he was the main reason
I'm leaving.
677
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:32,480
Can't stand him.
678
00:37:34,319 --> 00:37:35,680
I could see it coming
679
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:39,279
because it makes sense
why he singled me out
680
00:37:39,279 --> 00:37:43,160
because I'm an easy target
in the sense of like,
681
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:45,359
I dish it out to everyone, anyway.
682
00:37:45,359 --> 00:37:50,240
At that point that was the, the low point
in the Sidemen arc, I would say.
683
00:37:50,240 --> 00:37:52,920
We were starting to make videos
less together.
684
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:56,080
JJ was taking his music more seriously.
685
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:58,560
{\an8}And it could've been the point
everything fizzled out.
686
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:02,640
{\an8}♪ Yeah
Fuck the Sidemen ♪
687
00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:06,359
{\an8}♪ Nigga living better, I don't need them ♪
688
00:38:06,359 --> 00:38:10,080
{\an8}♪ Ethan looking bigger
I can see them ♪
689
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:12,920
{\an8}♪ Talking about them tits
Go and feed them ♪
690
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:15,240
{\an8}♪ Babies with your titty milk ♪
691
00:38:15,240 --> 00:38:16,600
{\an8}♪ Bitch, don't fuck with me ♪
692
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:21,520
I woke up in bed
with my girlfriend at the time, who said,
693
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:23,720
"Hey, have you seen
what JJ's just uploaded?"
694
00:38:23,720 --> 00:38:25,120
So I wake up like this.
695
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:29,400
I'm watching it on my phone thinking,
"What on earth's happening?"
696
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:32,680
{\an8}I do have some sort of like pride
in myself a little bit like,
697
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:35,359
{\an8}"I will do something."
698
00:38:35,359 --> 00:38:38,640
I will perform to what you want me to
if you think I'm not going to
699
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:42,480
'cause I bet he didn't expect me to have
a whole thing out 24 hours later.
700
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:46,080
And that's what I really liked about it,
him releasing that
701
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:48,279
because you can tell by the songs,
702
00:38:48,279 --> 00:38:51,279
music's not my forte in the slightest, right?
703
00:38:51,279 --> 00:38:54,640
But the fact that he might wake up
and go on his phone and go,
704
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:56,359
"Really? Like Ethan did that?"
705
00:38:56,359 --> 00:38:58,400
That's the... that was the W for me.
706
00:39:16,240 --> 00:39:20,319
{\an8}What the fuck is this shit?
Man, you know I've gotta react to this.
707
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:22,600
{\an8}♪ No, Ethan, stop that
Please stop that ♪
708
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:23,600
{\an8}♪ I beg you stop that ♪
709
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:25,200
{\an8}♪ Erm, no sorry ♪
710
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:26,839
{\an8}♪ You asked for this, ready? ♪
711
00:39:26,839 --> 00:39:29,200
{\an8}Erm, no, sorry. Fuck off.
712
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:34,600
{\an8}Never made a diss?
What the fuck is this then?
713
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:38,440
{\an8}"Behzinga Drama,
KSI and Ricegum diss track."
714
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:39,440
{\an8}It's like...
715
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:43,240
The diss track thing. My eyes lit up,
like it was a perfect opportunity.
716
00:39:43,240 --> 00:39:45,880
Like I'd always liked doing like...
717
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:47,880
we used to in these Skype calls
we used to have.
718
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:49,920
We used to just sit there
and do rap battles.
719
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:51,080
So we'd sync up a beat.
720
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:53,680
We'd all be hearing,
and we'd just like rap at each other,
721
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:55,440
which I always really enjoyed.
722
00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:57,759
As soon as I figured out
diss tracks were happening,
723
00:39:57,759 --> 00:39:59,680
I was like,
"I could do a diss track here."
724
00:40:21,240 --> 00:40:23,080
It's the best diss track I've ever heard.
725
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:25,600
The first time I heard of the Sidemen
726
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:30,759
{\an8}was actually Harry's diss track against JJ
727
00:40:30,759 --> 00:40:32,640
'cause we were beefing at the time,
728
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:35,160
and Harry made the diss track.
I thought it was awesome.
729
00:40:44,839 --> 00:40:50,440
When I first heard Harry's diss track,
I was pissed because he went in,
730
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:53,560
and I was like,
"Bro, what the fuck are you doing?"
731
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:57,560
I was in America at the time,
and I was like so angry.
732
00:40:57,560 --> 00:41:01,920
So I was like, "All right. Calm, bless.
Like we're gonna go down this route."
733
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:05,359
And then that's when I decided
to make "Little Boy".
734
00:41:18,799 --> 00:41:20,160
{\an8}You know what, that's probably...
735
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:23,759
{\an8}that's one of the first times JJ
actually started to shine as like raw.
736
00:41:23,759 --> 00:41:26,200
{\an8}His words and his music,
is actually hitting, you know?
737
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:27,160
It's hitting like...
738
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:29,640
Even though it was comical, it was fun,
it was just in jest,
739
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:31,799
it actually started to let them
shine through
740
00:41:31,799 --> 00:41:33,960
as like, "We're making music, you know?"
741
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:35,680
Like, "We're dissing, saying things,
742
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:37,720
hitting with music,
thinking about what we do,
743
00:41:37,720 --> 00:41:40,799
thinking about the beat,
the beat switch, the cut-outs, the video."
744
00:41:54,839 --> 00:41:56,279
If there was no diss tracks,
745
00:41:56,279 --> 00:41:59,799
JJ might not have taken his music
as seriously as he's taking it now.
746
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:03,319
That was a sick time. Can't be done again.
747
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:20,480
{\an8}You know what? I was surprised
to hear Simon spit that quick.
748
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:22,520
{\an8}He done a sick job.
749
00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:28,440
{\an8}And that video, we filmed it in, like,
an evening at some petrol station
750
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:30,759
and then I had the edit up
ready the next day.
751
00:42:30,759 --> 00:42:34,480
And I remember the moment
of when he clicked the "upload" button.
752
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:39,640
And then as soon as you hit refresh to see
how many views you've got. It said 40,000.
753
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:42,200
I'm not kidding.
It was literally 30 seconds.
754
00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:43,640
That's insane.
755
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:48,440
I think it was just a good way
that we could all have fun, get views,
756
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:52,160
and that's about it really, to be honest.
But then it ended up spiralling.
757
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:56,839
Okay. "You're a korma, I'm a vindaloo.
758
00:42:56,839 --> 00:43:01,640
When you're a bad boy,
Yinka grabs the shoe."
759
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:03,799
"While you're out trying to fuck groupies,
760
00:43:03,799 --> 00:43:08,560
I got your mum twerking
for my rupees."
761
00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:10,960
It's impossible to put a value
762
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:14,520
on how lucrative the diss tracks
ended up being
763
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:17,240
by the complete coincidence
that we fell into them.
764
00:43:17,240 --> 00:43:19,799
But I would say
on the diss track videos alone,
765
00:43:19,799 --> 00:43:23,319
it was probably
half-a-million pounds' worth of revenue.
766
00:43:23,319 --> 00:43:24,759
And then if you talk about
767
00:43:24,759 --> 00:43:27,680
how much viewership and attention
it drove towards us,
768
00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:29,560
several times that in the long run.
769
00:43:30,319 --> 00:43:32,839
{\an8}It rallied all of these fans.
770
00:43:32,839 --> 00:43:35,040
{\an8}It created this huge content opportunity
771
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:38,120
that actually made the Sidemen bigger
than it had ever been.
772
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:43,240
Ultimately, I'm still in the Sidemen
because they're my boys.
773
00:43:45,240 --> 00:43:50,319
Yeah I know it's hard work making,
you know, my dreams come true
774
00:43:50,319 --> 00:43:54,359
as well as doing stuff with the Sidemen
and making our dreams together come true
775
00:43:54,359 --> 00:43:58,960
but it's what I'm willing to do
to make sure me and them are good.
776
00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:02,279
Yeah. Just 'cause they're my boys, man.
777
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:14,720
With the cheap
versus expensive videos,
778
00:44:14,720 --> 00:44:16,120
it becomes very personal
779
00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:21,400
'cause it's very hard to see past the fact
that one team are having a great time...
780
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:24,960
Oh, this is my holiday.
781
00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:26,560
They've got lots of cool experiences.
782
00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:28,759
Oh, yes.
783
00:44:28,759 --> 00:44:30,160
And you're stuck on the bad team.
784
00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:31,680
Have we got some bug spray?
785
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:34,400
- That bag.
- I want it. Where is it?
786
00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:37,560
Behind the scenes with the boys,
it turns into like, "What the hell?"
787
00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:42,359
So literally we've been given
a camping spot
788
00:44:42,359 --> 00:44:45,560
that is just riddled with...
with literally stinging nettle.
789
00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:48,799
The audience don't wanna see
the bad team have a great time.
790
00:44:48,799 --> 00:44:52,279
They wanna see the bad team suffer
'cause the suffering is the content.
791
00:44:55,879 --> 00:44:59,000
I've more than accepted fate.
We are in a fucking shithole.
792
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:00,319
We are camping on rock.
793
00:45:00,319 --> 00:45:03,520
We have a rock formation
in our fucking tent.
794
00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:06,720
Can we do a hostile takeover
of the other campsite?
795
00:45:06,720 --> 00:45:08,440
Are you eating already?
796
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:10,400
Fuck off. I'm in my happy space.
797
00:45:13,319 --> 00:45:15,000
I'm eating a sausage in a forest.
798
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:19,600
Okay. So we've returned to,
now, the bad team.
799
00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:23,600
Now to get abused and attacked
for making them be on the bad team.
800
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:25,000
Er, piss off.
801
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:28,160
- Is he here?
- Yeah, he is here.
802
00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:30,200
Piss off, you fucking big head.
803
00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:32,359
God, what a spot.
804
00:45:32,359 --> 00:45:34,120
Does he want us to reply to him?
805
00:45:36,240 --> 00:45:39,920
Oh, no. You don't look very happy.
This is the worst one you've ever done.
806
00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:41,080
- Why?
- It's awful.
807
00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:42,000
Sit down.
808
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:43,920
- I got a present for you.
- No, no. Take a seat.
809
00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:45,960
- Oh, it's like a council.
- Yeah. Take a seat.
810
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:48,040
- Welcome to, er--
- Hang on, two secs.
811
00:45:51,359 --> 00:45:54,240
- Welcome to Team Tent.
- Team Tent? Nice.
812
00:45:54,240 --> 00:45:55,720
Team Tent up in this bitch.
813
00:45:55,720 --> 00:45:58,520
I actually went and visited
the, er, bad team
814
00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:02,839
and their moods were not...
in the greatest of ways.
815
00:46:02,839 --> 00:46:06,640
- Sack these ones off.
- What the fuck is this game?
816
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:08,200
Ethan as well 'cause at that time,
817
00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:10,640
Ethan hadn't really experienced
being on a good team
818
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:11,680
so I feel like it's, er,
819
00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:14,920
bottled up frustration had occurred
from being on the bad team.
820
00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:17,560
What does the new card say, er, this is...
821
00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:22,440
"Congratulations you've come out on top
from bad to good. Get ready to swap."
822
00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:24,920
Oh.
823
00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:26,480
So you're happy now, yeah?
824
00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:28,839
Go nuts, bro.
825
00:46:28,839 --> 00:46:33,040
We've been eating dog food, bro.
We've been through the worst of it.
826
00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:34,839
Listen, I'm trying to work
with you.
827
00:46:34,839 --> 00:46:36,400
- But I'll...
- One of you come.
828
00:46:36,400 --> 00:46:38,600
We've done the worst.
What's the point in swapping?
829
00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:39,960
- Tobi, go.
- Why are you...
830
00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:42,359
How are you... how are you upset
about getting a good deal?
831
00:46:42,359 --> 00:46:43,799
No, 'cause it's pointless.
832
00:46:43,799 --> 00:46:45,240
They come here and do everything?
833
00:46:45,240 --> 00:46:46,359
- One person.
- I don't care.
834
00:46:46,359 --> 00:46:48,480
- Bro, just go. Ethan, just go.
- I ain't going.
835
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:50,440
No. Me and Behz aren't going.
836
00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:53,200
- Vik... No.
- We're in this life. Tobi, go. Tobi, go.
837
00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:55,000
No. This is good.
838
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:57,080
'Cause look, look, look, you, look get...
839
00:46:57,080 --> 00:47:00,600
They ain't eating the dog food.
They gonna come... listen, I'll get vexed.
840
00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:03,319
They're gonna come here.
They ain't been eating the dog food, bro.
841
00:47:03,319 --> 00:47:04,640
- Just work with him.
- You, go.
842
00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:07,120
- Me and Behz can't go.
- Why is this so hard?
843
00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:08,480
We've done it already!
844
00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:11,240
- What's the point in swapping?
- 'Cause you get... a great night.
845
00:47:11,240 --> 00:47:14,520
We get a great night, but I'm going home!
I'd rather get in the cab and fuck off!
846
00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:20,279
I'm so glad I've seen this footage.
This is amazing.
847
00:47:20,279 --> 00:47:22,279
Yeah, it's funny.
That was my hot-headedness.
848
00:47:22,279 --> 00:47:25,160
- It's fine it got 30 million views.
- You've done well, mate.
849
00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:26,120
Oh, damn.
850
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:28,799
That's the only one, I think,
I've ever had with you ever.
851
00:47:28,799 --> 00:47:31,480
- What like argument that--
- Yeah, yeah. Like proper argument.
852
00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:34,080
No, no. Let's be honest.
We've fallen out a few times.
853
00:47:34,080 --> 00:47:37,080
- I feel like you're always involved.
- Not always.
854
00:47:37,080 --> 00:47:40,359
Even if he's not involved,
he gets involved. He loves it.
855
00:47:40,359 --> 00:47:41,759
- We didn't even know.
- I did. I...
856
00:47:41,759 --> 00:47:43,400
It would involve you, me, or you.
857
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:45,600
Yeah, yeah. [exclaims] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
858
00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:47,080
It's us three. Little trifecta.
859
00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:48,200
Harry, have you ever--
860
00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:50,319
No. But I love
watching it from the outside.
861
00:47:50,319 --> 00:47:52,120
I love a little bit of that.
862
00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:53,560
He's... he's like a pot stirrer.
863
00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:58,080
He's like a pot stirrer. I'm like...
I try and be like... I try and help guys.
864
00:47:58,080 --> 00:47:59,120
Just like a counsellor.
865
00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:02,920
I try and explain and it doesn't work.
Vik does the same. Tobi does the same.
866
00:48:02,920 --> 00:48:05,759
He just sits there and goes, "Ooh."
867
00:48:05,759 --> 00:48:09,680
We're seven very different personalities
but somehow it all just works naturally.
868
00:48:20,240 --> 00:48:23,720
{\an8}"Your nose looks like
it's on a snapchat filter 24/7."
869
00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:29,759
{\an8}"Hey, Slender,
how comes you have cum in your hair?"
870
00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:36,279
{\an8}The interesting part
of being on social media
871
00:48:36,279 --> 00:48:42,040
{\an8}is that you have an ability to be able
to see and respond very quickly.
872
00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:48,040
But with that, trolling and mental health
has become a real topic of conversation.
873
00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:50,960
{\an8}"What is the difference
between Vikkstar and a tree?
874
00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:54,480
{\an8}"Nothing. They're both hollow
on the inside and brown on the outside."
875
00:48:56,759 --> 00:48:59,600
{\an8}Instant feedback
can be really toxic.
876
00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:01,560
{\an8}It can be very, very detrimental,
877
00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:06,520
{\an8}especially when you consider the age
of a lot of these creators.
878
00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:08,879
{\an8}Well, this one's just foul.
He's like the at and the...
879
00:49:08,879 --> 00:49:11,040
{\an8}the at might as well be a tweet itself.
880
00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:15,240
{\an8}Behzinga, a fat cunt, says...
881
00:49:15,240 --> 00:49:18,480
{\an8}See? I'm done already.
882
00:49:22,839 --> 00:49:27,560
{\an8}Oh... @behzinga.
883
00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:29,960
"You are so fat it's embarr-is-ing.
884
00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:32,879
I laughed so much when I heard
that you cried every day after school
885
00:49:32,879 --> 00:49:34,240
because you were bullied,
886
00:49:34,240 --> 00:49:36,799
just because you are so ugly and fat.
Ha, ha, ha."
887
00:49:47,240 --> 00:49:52,960
It's 4:50 in the morning.
So, yeah, it's been a long day.
888
00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:57,839
From my lighting, I look okay,
but I don't know, now I look like shit.
889
00:49:57,839 --> 00:49:59,480
I look like utter shit.
890
00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:11,080
Ethan got
a lot of negative comments.
891
00:50:11,080 --> 00:50:15,399
People online find your weakness
and pounce on that.
892
00:50:15,399 --> 00:50:20,080
So I imagine it would've been really hard.
893
00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:23,920
You could get 368 comments, right?
894
00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:28,399
Seven of those will be horrific,
hateful comments
895
00:50:28,399 --> 00:50:30,879
but the other 300-odd are really nice,
896
00:50:30,879 --> 00:50:33,160
but your brain completely blanks them
897
00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:36,080
'cause you pay attention to the seven
that are ripping you down.
898
00:50:37,720 --> 00:50:40,399
I wouldn't say I was aware
899
00:50:40,399 --> 00:50:43,160
that Ethan was depressed about his weight
back in 2018.
900
00:50:43,160 --> 00:50:46,839
But I feel like there was some more signs
that he wasn't the happiest.
901
00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:56,080
{\an8}Oh, no. Oh, no.
902
00:50:56,080 --> 00:51:00,200
When you're happy with yourself,
making three videos a day is a breeze
903
00:51:00,200 --> 00:51:02,279
because you're doing something you love
and think,
904
00:51:02,279 --> 00:51:04,319
"Yeah, cool.
I can't wait to click upload."
905
00:51:04,319 --> 00:51:06,480
When you're not happy within yourself,
906
00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:09,799
it's almost like people expect
three videos a day.
907
00:51:09,799 --> 00:51:12,319
I don't feel good enough
to post three videos a day,
908
00:51:12,319 --> 00:51:16,240
{\an8}and it's only so long
you can burn that end of it
909
00:51:16,240 --> 00:51:18,440
{\an8}before it bites you
and that's where I think I...
910
00:51:18,440 --> 00:51:22,000
{\an8}I got to a point where
I just wasn't happy at all.
911
00:51:23,279 --> 00:51:27,040
When Ethan was at his lowest,
he kept everything to himself a lot.
912
00:51:27,040 --> 00:51:29,000
So I wish he'd spoken to us
913
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:31,759
'cause we could've helped
in any way we could.
914
00:51:31,759 --> 00:51:33,359
In my head, like I feel like
915
00:51:33,359 --> 00:51:35,520
I should've picked up
on things a little bit earlier
916
00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:39,359
but, at the same time,
I was out a lot, drinking loads,
917
00:51:39,359 --> 00:51:41,200
so that was pretty normal for me.
918
00:51:42,240 --> 00:51:44,879
He was drinking a lot
but wasn't really going out as much,
919
00:51:44,879 --> 00:51:49,359
so he would just stay at home
and drink while playing video games.
920
00:51:49,359 --> 00:51:51,720
It definitely got to a point
where like look we...
921
00:51:51,720 --> 00:51:54,720
we've gone through a whole bottle of JD
in one night.
922
00:51:54,720 --> 00:51:57,480
Like that was probably where
I started raising eyebrows.
923
00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:01,960
Bottles of Jack Daniels
were going quickly.
924
00:52:02,879 --> 00:52:06,640
I think like 250 quids' worth of weed
a week. That's nuts.
925
00:52:08,759 --> 00:52:11,759
I said, "Listen it's fine.
Like, I'm okay. I'm in control of it."
926
00:52:11,759 --> 00:52:13,720
Bollocks.
I wasn't in control of it at all.
927
00:52:13,720 --> 00:52:17,920
I'm exhausted and... and the expectation
is getting the better of me, I think.
928
00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:20,040
I think it's just getting
the better of me.
929
00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:21,960
I've been running myself into the ground
930
00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:25,120
till like 4:00 or 5:00,
half past 5:00 in the morning
931
00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:27,640
and like, "I do not feel okay."
932
00:52:34,640 --> 00:52:38,759
I knew I was a burden,
like a shit person to be around.
933
00:52:38,759 --> 00:52:41,200
So it was tough, mentally.
934
00:52:42,319 --> 00:52:46,279
I've had like the thoughts of like,
"Oh, this is shit.
935
00:52:47,120 --> 00:52:49,960
If I whack myself off,
then this all ends."
936
00:52:56,920 --> 00:52:58,040
It's really dark, right,
937
00:52:58,040 --> 00:53:01,240
'cause I know there's a big bridge
with like concrete pillars on it.
938
00:53:03,200 --> 00:53:07,200
So that was like,
"Oh, I know where I could do it."
939
00:53:09,759 --> 00:53:12,279
And that's a horrible thought process.
940
00:53:12,279 --> 00:53:17,279
It was more like, "That's it. Cool. Done."
941
00:53:27,640 --> 00:53:33,879
I had a knocking at my door
at, like... literally like 3:00, 4:00 a.m.
942
00:53:34,759 --> 00:53:36,600
And it was Ethan's girlfriend at the time,
943
00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:40,960
and she's telling me that he's, erm,
been drinking and he's gone out,
944
00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:44,240
and he's taken the car,
and she doesn't know where he is.
945
00:53:44,240 --> 00:53:45,799
He's not answering his phone.
946
00:53:45,799 --> 00:53:50,240
And I'm like...
I didn't know what to do really, er, like,
947
00:53:50,240 --> 00:53:53,520
"What do I do? Do I call the police
and tell them my friend's drink driving?"
948
00:53:53,520 --> 00:53:55,680
Like I'm trying to find out where he is.
949
00:53:55,680 --> 00:53:57,960
I was kind of just in a state of...
950
00:53:59,799 --> 00:54:02,200
I don't know, confusion, really.
951
00:54:02,200 --> 00:54:06,000
I mean, at that point,
you know, we're all...
952
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:12,720
we're all fearing for our... one of our
best friend's lives kind of thing. Erm...
953
00:54:17,879 --> 00:54:19,080
I just broke down.
954
00:54:19,080 --> 00:54:23,640
I just broke down and just said like,
"I can't do it, man. I can't do it."
955
00:54:23,640 --> 00:54:25,160
It's like a relief moment like,
956
00:54:25,160 --> 00:54:28,240
the crying on my friend,
it's like a relief moment.
957
00:54:28,240 --> 00:54:32,279
Like you can finally start getting
across to someone that,
958
00:54:32,279 --> 00:54:37,359
"I'm so done, man. I've reached my limit.
I need help."
959
00:54:37,359 --> 00:54:39,640
And that's, again,
it comes with the pride thing.
960
00:54:39,640 --> 00:54:43,279
You've gotta be able to drop this pride,
this act, this ego of thinking,
961
00:54:43,279 --> 00:54:47,480
"Oh, it'll get better. I'll be all right.
Oh, you'll be fine. I can get through it."
962
00:54:47,480 --> 00:54:50,640
So just speak to people.
You have to do it.
963
00:54:50,640 --> 00:54:53,160
You have to open up.
You have to speak to people.
964
00:54:53,160 --> 00:54:57,480
Ethan's story made the friendship group
a lot stronger,
965
00:54:57,480 --> 00:55:01,480
erm, because we were now more aware
of things going on.
966
00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:04,120
Because before that,
you hear about these things,
967
00:55:04,120 --> 00:55:05,440
but you're not really tuned in.
968
00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:07,359
You don't think it's gonna be your friends
969
00:55:07,359 --> 00:55:09,240
that are going through this.
970
00:55:09,240 --> 00:55:13,000
So I think that was... a big wake-up call
for everyone, honestly.
971
00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:16,240
- Mate.
- Yes, bro.
972
00:55:20,200 --> 00:55:21,600
Right, turn side on.
973
00:55:21,600 --> 00:55:24,080
- This way? Back.
- Yeah.
974
00:55:24,080 --> 00:55:29,759
Here we go. How big is Behzinga? 103.1 kg.
975
00:55:29,759 --> 00:55:33,600
With Ethan,
I was personally inspired by his journey.
976
00:55:33,600 --> 00:55:37,920
He went through a lot of personal growth
during that time
977
00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:40,640
and I think what's been really fundamental
978
00:55:40,640 --> 00:55:45,759
is his ability to be able
to really be raw with it.
979
00:55:46,720 --> 00:55:49,600
Nine, eight, come on. Come on, come on.
980
00:55:49,600 --> 00:55:50,560
Keep pushing.
981
00:55:50,560 --> 00:55:51,720
Push, push. Don't stop.
982
00:55:51,720 --> 00:55:53,759
Six, five, four, three, two, one.
983
00:55:53,759 --> 00:55:56,040
Time. Well done.
984
00:55:56,920 --> 00:55:57,799
Not a joke.
985
00:55:57,799 --> 00:55:59,759
To see someone pull through that,
986
00:55:59,759 --> 00:56:02,680
and what we have seen
in the past couple of years as well,
987
00:56:02,680 --> 00:56:05,640
is that a lot of men
don't get the support they need.
988
00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:08,480
And I think to see that
989
00:56:08,480 --> 00:56:13,759
shows that the new generation
have something relatable to look at
990
00:56:13,759 --> 00:56:16,399
and see that
if they were ever in that situation,
991
00:56:16,399 --> 00:56:17,759
there's always a way out.
992
00:56:17,759 --> 00:56:21,399
Well, hello. Welcome to 2019
on the Behzinga channel.
993
00:56:21,399 --> 00:56:24,240
How are you? I hope you're, er,
gonna have a great year.
994
00:56:24,240 --> 00:56:26,440
I messed that up with my mouth
but we're here.
995
00:56:27,200 --> 00:56:29,720
- Let's say Ethan got big again.
- Yeah.
996
00:56:29,720 --> 00:56:31,680
Don't worry, he is.
997
00:56:31,680 --> 00:56:34,879
How do you... but now... knowing
things he's gone through as well, like--
998
00:56:34,879 --> 00:56:37,920
Yeah. No, I... no, no, no.
I know he's gone through...
999
00:56:37,920 --> 00:56:39,960
He's gone through a lot of pizzas.
1000
00:56:42,319 --> 00:56:46,240
I can hear his mind working.
1001
00:56:46,240 --> 00:56:48,799
You lot.
1002
00:56:49,680 --> 00:56:52,440
I think it's like... just British culture
at the same time as well,
1003
00:56:52,440 --> 00:56:55,520
like we're all brought up on
bringing each other down.
1004
00:56:55,520 --> 00:56:58,399
- You tease your mates.
- Yeah, like lad humour. Is that right?
1005
00:56:58,399 --> 00:57:00,319
That's so sad.
1006
00:57:00,319 --> 00:57:03,680
I tell you the difference, yeah?
Straight up as the person who it is. Okay.
1007
00:57:03,680 --> 00:57:06,319
You lot, I know at the end of the day,
1008
00:57:06,319 --> 00:57:08,960
if someone come up to me
and said the stuff that you say...
1009
00:57:08,960 --> 00:57:10,319
- You'd say...
- Oh, no. Don't get...
1010
00:57:10,319 --> 00:57:13,200
- They'll get slapped.
- You say, "Who do you think you are?"
1011
00:57:13,200 --> 00:57:17,440
So it comes down to the YouTube audience
thinking they are one of your mates.
1012
00:57:17,440 --> 00:57:20,319
So the major problem from it
came these random people...
1013
00:57:20,319 --> 00:57:21,240
All the time.
1014
00:57:21,240 --> 00:57:23,160
Anywhere, bro,
on the field playing football.
1015
00:57:23,160 --> 00:57:24,879
- Fat
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1016
00:57:24,879 --> 00:57:27,120
You're thinking, "You don't even know me."
1017
00:57:27,120 --> 00:57:30,560
But our... our humour is now...
everyone sees it,
1018
00:57:30,560 --> 00:57:33,279
- and they think they're in on it.
- They're a part as well.
1019
00:57:33,279 --> 00:57:35,240
- They feel part of the group.
- In real life,
1020
00:57:35,240 --> 00:57:38,160
I'd be anywhere, bro.
Er, or like I'd be going somewhere,
1021
00:57:38,160 --> 00:57:39,600
"Oh, you fat, whatever."
1022
00:57:39,600 --> 00:57:41,480
And it's like, "What do you want me to do?
1023
00:57:41,480 --> 00:57:42,520
"I don't know you."
1024
00:57:42,520 --> 00:57:43,640
I don't know you, yeah.
1025
00:57:43,640 --> 00:57:46,759
- You've just met me and abused me.
- It's true. Yeah, actually.
1026
00:57:46,759 --> 00:57:49,319
Imagine I come up to you and just went,
"You fat loser."
1027
00:57:49,319 --> 00:57:52,359
You'd be like,
"Ah. All right, bro. Chill out."
1028
00:57:52,359 --> 00:57:53,399
Shit, yeah.
1029
00:57:53,399 --> 00:57:56,799
- Now as we're actual adults now...
- Yeah.
1030
00:57:56,799 --> 00:58:02,200
...I think when someone is clearly not
in the space, their minds are normally in,
1031
00:58:02,200 --> 00:58:05,560
people do even in group chats
will just say like, "Everyone good?"
1032
00:58:05,560 --> 00:58:07,839
And it can be a one question,
but that's all it needs.
1033
00:58:07,839 --> 00:58:09,720
To be honest, it's like maturing, I think.
1034
00:58:09,720 --> 00:58:13,680
But also we grew up in a generation
where mental health wasn't talked about.
1035
00:58:13,680 --> 00:58:16,600
At school, you wouldn't talk about it.
You'd never have like...
1036
00:58:16,600 --> 00:58:17,640
No. Not a chance.
1037
00:58:17,640 --> 00:58:19,839
We've never been taught any of this stuff
1038
00:58:19,839 --> 00:58:22,640
and then we're dealing
with millions of people watching us.
1039
00:58:22,640 --> 00:58:23,919
How do you teach someone...
1040
00:58:23,919 --> 00:58:28,080
You don't. You can't be online
and have really thin skin.
1041
00:58:28,080 --> 00:58:29,480
We learnt that quick.
1042
00:58:29,480 --> 00:58:33,000
You've gotta realise that this is
part and parcel of broadcasting yourself.
1043
00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:34,640
Did anyone go like therapy or anything?
1044
00:58:34,640 --> 00:58:36,839
I've been to therapy. Yeah, yeah.
1045
00:58:36,839 --> 00:58:39,319
When I went to therapy,
I literally just spoke.
1046
00:58:39,319 --> 00:58:42,600
It was someone to listen,
and as I'm talking and saying how I feel,
1047
00:58:42,600 --> 00:58:46,040
I'm also processing it and understanding
and then dealing with it.
1048
00:58:46,040 --> 00:58:47,919
You find yourself
answering your questions.
1049
00:58:47,919 --> 00:58:50,359
Basically I figured it out for myself.
Yeah, yeah.
1050
00:58:50,359 --> 00:58:53,560
So you find benefit
from therapy, right?
1051
00:58:53,560 --> 00:58:56,160
Yeah. No, I thought therapy
was extremely helpful.
1052
00:58:56,160 --> 00:58:59,759
She gave me the key to open these doors
and I was like, "Oh, wow."
1053
00:58:59,759 --> 00:59:03,759
I realised, "Oh, okay.
I now know what I want to do,
1054
00:59:03,759 --> 00:59:08,200
and how to get there,
and you know, what's... best for me.
1055
00:59:08,200 --> 00:59:10,960
And you know, er, something as simple
as saying "no."
1056
00:59:10,960 --> 00:59:13,399
Like I've said "no" to so many things now
1057
00:59:13,399 --> 00:59:15,440
because I'm like,
I don't have to say "yes."
1058
00:59:15,440 --> 00:59:17,759
- I don't have to always please people.
- Mmm-hmm.
1059
00:59:17,759 --> 00:59:19,440
The reason why I would always say "yes"
1060
00:59:19,440 --> 00:59:22,640
is because in my childhood,
I'd always say "yes" to my parents.
1061
00:59:22,640 --> 00:59:23,600
Like no matter what.
1062
00:59:23,600 --> 00:59:27,000
If I didn't wanna do it,
I have to say "yes" because I'd get beat,
1063
00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:29,200
or something like that.
1064
00:59:29,200 --> 00:59:31,839
So now, I literally just say "no"
1065
00:59:31,839 --> 00:59:34,560
and I understand I need time for myself
to do things.
1066
00:59:34,560 --> 00:59:36,520
- Prioritising myself.
- Yeah, exactly.
1067
00:59:36,520 --> 00:59:38,240
We've all got better
at the balancing act.
1068
00:59:38,240 --> 00:59:42,240
I think talking about your mental health
has become a big part of online especially
1069
00:59:42,240 --> 00:59:46,359
because people are starting to understand
that these people that you idolise
1070
00:59:46,359 --> 00:59:48,759
are normal people,
and they have real feelings.
1071
01:00:06,560 --> 01:00:10,759
We're here for our second physical
Sides location launch.
1072
01:00:10,759 --> 01:00:13,600
- First one is at BOXPARK, Wembley.
- Mmm-hmm.
1073
01:00:13,600 --> 01:00:18,080
This one is Gravity Wandsworth,
a place I am very fond of.
1074
01:00:18,080 --> 01:00:21,480
Come here a couple of times in my own time
to bowl, electric go-kart.
1075
01:00:21,480 --> 01:00:25,600
But yeah, got a couple supporters
coming down to get some free food.
1076
01:00:25,600 --> 01:00:28,120
Free food always tastes better,
by the way. Always.
1077
01:00:28,120 --> 01:00:29,440
- How are you?
- I'm good. You?
1078
01:00:29,440 --> 01:00:31,399
Good, good, good.
1079
01:00:31,399 --> 01:00:33,960
If you're not learning,
you're not living.
1080
01:00:33,960 --> 01:00:35,040
It's a good one.
1081
01:00:35,600 --> 01:00:37,879
That's a good saying, innit?
I came up with that today.
1082
01:00:37,879 --> 01:00:39,839
- Why are you shaking your head?
- How?
1083
01:00:39,839 --> 01:00:41,960
I'll dash this at your head.
What's your favourite?
1084
01:00:41,960 --> 01:00:45,200
Live like others can't, so in time,
you can live like others won't.
1085
01:00:45,200 --> 01:00:48,480
Live like others can't.
1086
01:00:48,480 --> 01:00:50,919
Wrong way round.
Wrong way round, by the way.
1087
01:00:50,919 --> 01:00:55,200
You said that way, didn't it,
or did I say it? I can't.
1088
01:00:57,960 --> 01:01:00,680
Honestly, well, you could...
well, you could do that also.
1089
01:01:00,680 --> 01:01:03,600
Next time, just don't be poor.
That's what you just said, bro.
1090
01:01:03,600 --> 01:01:05,319
You said live like others can't.
1091
01:01:05,319 --> 01:01:08,399
- Won't say it again now.
- What's your...
1092
01:01:08,399 --> 01:01:11,799
No. It's to live like others won't.
So in time you live like others can't.
1093
01:01:11,799 --> 01:01:15,640
You know you put in the work,
do things that people won't do.
1094
01:01:15,640 --> 01:01:18,680
- Eventually, hopefully, fingers crossed...
- Inshallah.
1095
01:01:18,680 --> 01:01:20,879
Then you can, you know,
live life like others can't,
1096
01:01:20,879 --> 01:01:23,399
because they didn't put the work in,
didn't do the groundwork.
1097
01:01:23,399 --> 01:01:25,440
These waffle fries are incredible,
by the way.
1098
01:01:25,440 --> 01:01:26,960
I'm not even chatting. Can I swear?
1099
01:01:26,960 --> 01:01:29,200
- Wow.
- I can swear, I'm not even chatting shit.
1100
01:01:29,200 --> 01:01:33,120
Do you want a waffle fry?
1101
01:01:33,120 --> 01:01:36,720
No, but seriously, does anyone want any
'cause it's fucking incredible.
1102
01:01:36,720 --> 01:01:38,040
I guess you point it out.
1103
01:01:38,040 --> 01:01:40,399
Literally everyone's looking at us.
I get so paranoid
1104
01:01:40,399 --> 01:01:42,319
Not surprised.
1105
01:01:42,879 --> 01:01:44,480
Hey, it's a lot of people.
1106
01:01:44,480 --> 01:01:46,720
Oh, shit. It's insane in here.
1107
01:01:46,720 --> 01:01:50,440
It's this incredible moment where
you get the real-world manifestation
1108
01:01:50,440 --> 01:01:53,160
of those likes, those comments,
those views
1109
01:01:53,160 --> 01:01:55,080
and you realise just how powerful
1110
01:01:55,080 --> 01:01:58,720
this incredible content publishing machine
the boys have created really is.
1111
01:02:10,319 --> 01:02:13,680
The Sidemen, they've inspired me
since I was like eight years old.
1112
01:02:13,680 --> 01:02:15,839
I've been watching them for a long time.
1113
01:02:15,839 --> 01:02:17,279
They're just fun to watch.
1114
01:02:17,279 --> 01:02:21,160
They make videos on, er, different types
of topics and they're just fun.
1115
01:02:21,160 --> 01:02:22,600
They're just good.
1116
01:02:22,600 --> 01:02:25,600
Like they've just got the whole scene,
the whole YouTube scene.
1117
01:02:30,160 --> 01:02:34,359
They're those type of content creators
that put a smile on my face.
1118
01:02:34,359 --> 01:02:37,799
I literally look so forward
to watching their videos like every day.
1119
01:02:37,799 --> 01:02:41,200
Watching Sidemen videos,
obviously it's all banter and jokes,
1120
01:02:41,200 --> 01:02:43,399
but then there's also lessons
that you learn.
1121
01:02:43,399 --> 01:02:47,120
You kinda see the friendship,
the teamwork, the whole communication.
1122
01:02:47,120 --> 01:02:50,240
They have this fun side to them,
so I wanna follow that, too.
1123
01:02:55,359 --> 01:02:57,279
Is this... is this safe?
1124
01:03:15,240 --> 01:03:17,919
To us, we're messing around.
We're having fun.
1125
01:03:17,919 --> 01:03:21,080
We're creating content.
We're doing something cool. It's cool.
1126
01:03:21,080 --> 01:03:24,160
But you also sometimes forget
that for someone else,
1127
01:03:24,160 --> 01:03:26,000
that's their escape from reality
1128
01:03:26,000 --> 01:03:29,000
or that's the thing that's gonna get them
through the day.
1129
01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:33,200
And that really comes to light
when you speak to some supporters.
1130
01:03:33,200 --> 01:03:37,319
I feel like the biggest thing
that separates us from a lot of creators
1131
01:03:37,319 --> 01:03:40,000
is people really connect to us
as a friendship group.
1132
01:03:40,000 --> 01:03:42,600
A lot of them say they feel like
they're the eighth member.
1133
01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:54,480
Tobi, honestly, is one of
the nicest people that I know in life.
1134
01:03:54,480 --> 01:03:57,480
Not just in the Sidemen.
He's one of the nicest people that I know.
1135
01:03:57,480 --> 01:04:01,879
In his nature, he's kind.
In his day-to-day life, he's just kind.
1136
01:04:01,879 --> 01:04:04,839
He always thinks
of the nicest thing possible.
1137
01:04:06,600 --> 01:04:10,279
It makes me feel like
my parents raised me right,
1138
01:04:10,279 --> 01:04:13,080
but it's also just the way I am.
I've always been that way.
1139
01:04:13,080 --> 01:04:16,200
I don't know any kind of other way to be.
1140
01:04:17,120 --> 01:04:20,879
I have nothing but the utmost respect
for both my parents.
1141
01:04:20,879 --> 01:04:23,160
My dad was working three jobs at a point.
1142
01:04:23,160 --> 01:04:24,439
He'd go out at night.
1143
01:04:24,439 --> 01:04:26,600
I wouldn't see him 'cause he'd be sleeping
1144
01:04:26,600 --> 01:04:28,520
and I'd be at school and whatnot.
1145
01:04:28,520 --> 01:04:31,960
Or he'd be working another job,
his second job, his third job.
1146
01:04:33,680 --> 01:04:36,879
I've always got a joy
from helping other people.
1147
01:04:36,879 --> 01:04:38,200
I love this guy.
1148
01:04:38,200 --> 01:04:41,080
I like to see the people around me happy.
It makes me feel happy.
1149
01:04:41,080 --> 01:04:42,919
{\an8}Okay. Open your eyes, Simon.
1150
01:04:42,919 --> 01:04:45,520
- Oh! [laughs] Unreal.
- Good man.
1151
01:04:45,520 --> 01:04:47,799
- How do you feel?
- A million likes.
1152
01:04:49,279 --> 01:04:51,560
Hey, cut the video, man.
1153
01:04:51,560 --> 01:04:53,279
In the position I'm in now,
1154
01:04:53,279 --> 01:04:55,799
to be able to help my family
when they need it
1155
01:04:55,799 --> 01:04:59,919
or my friends when they need it
or complete strangers sometimes,
1156
01:04:59,919 --> 01:05:02,720
it feels like I'm contributing
something to the world.
1157
01:05:16,359 --> 01:05:17,799
- What do we want?
- Justice!
1158
01:05:17,799 --> 01:05:20,040
- When do we want it?
- Now!
1159
01:05:20,040 --> 01:05:22,319
{\an8}Since the George Floyd incident,
1160
01:05:22,319 --> 01:05:26,759
{\an8}my mind has been going non-stop.
I've been struggling.
1161
01:05:32,240 --> 01:05:36,200
{\an8}You're tired of hearing
about our racist experiences?
1162
01:05:36,200 --> 01:05:42,839
{\an8}Imagine, imagine how tired we are
of experiencing it. Imagine.
1163
01:05:42,839 --> 01:05:44,919
{\an8}And I'm one of the lucky ones.
1164
01:05:44,919 --> 01:05:48,240
{\an8}I'm one of the fucking...
I'm so blessed, you lot.
1165
01:05:48,240 --> 01:05:51,560
{\an8}I can't tell you
how fucking blessed I am.
1166
01:06:02,520 --> 01:06:07,439
{\an8}It was heartbreaking to see Tobi like that
'cause Tobi is always bubbly.
1167
01:06:07,439 --> 01:06:11,960
So to see him in that kind of mood
and, talking about this kind of stuff,
1168
01:06:11,960 --> 01:06:16,560
I remember trying not to shed a tear
watching Tobi on the stream.
1169
01:06:16,560 --> 01:06:18,720
That might have been the moment
when he realised,
1170
01:06:18,720 --> 01:06:22,439
"This stuff happens to me, you know,
similar, and I've never spoken about it,
1171
01:06:22,439 --> 01:06:26,359
now the whole world's talking about it
when it's ended fatally."
1172
01:06:26,359 --> 01:06:28,399
So, maybe, it was a good time to share.
1173
01:06:28,399 --> 01:06:29,399
It doesn't surprise me.
1174
01:06:29,399 --> 01:06:32,720
Tobi will speak his mind
when he wants to speak his mind.
1175
01:06:32,720 --> 01:06:35,359
{\an8}If I tell you the amount of shit
I've been through,
1176
01:06:35,359 --> 01:06:38,480
{\an8}you wouldn't believe it.
Imagine the unlucky ones.
1177
01:06:38,480 --> 01:06:42,960
{\an8}Imagine the ones that are dying
at the hands of these...
1178
01:06:42,960 --> 01:06:45,879
{\an8}I ain't wanna call them humans
'cause they're not human, man.
1179
01:06:45,879 --> 01:06:51,799
{\an8}They don't act human, they don't.
They fucking don't.
1180
01:06:54,799 --> 01:06:57,759
{\an8}I'm so sorry for breaking down.
I really didn't wanna break down.
1181
01:06:57,759 --> 01:07:02,640
{\an8}I really, really tried to compose myself.
I've... I've lost my shit, man.
1182
01:07:02,640 --> 01:07:05,319
{\an8}The response that I got from that
was amazing.
1183
01:07:05,319 --> 01:07:08,200
Yeah that's just one example of me
talking about something serious
1184
01:07:08,200 --> 01:07:09,640
and it having an impact.
1185
01:07:09,640 --> 01:07:12,040
But it's in my nature
to talk about that stuff
1186
01:07:12,040 --> 01:07:14,359
because I guess I wear my heart
on my sleeve.
1187
01:07:14,359 --> 01:07:17,919
{\an8}I'm not afraid to show my emotions
or how I feel about certain things.
1188
01:07:18,799 --> 01:07:21,960
{\an8}I share my feelings with my audience
'cause that's how they connect.
1189
01:07:21,960 --> 01:07:23,960
That's how they view you as a human.
1190
01:07:45,200 --> 01:07:48,560
Oh, God. First player off the bus.
Come on.
1191
01:07:48,560 --> 01:07:51,240
Jeez. Let's go.
1192
01:08:04,839 --> 01:08:08,000
We've actually just flown in
from Singapore to catch this match
1193
01:08:08,000 --> 01:08:10,520
'cause we've been Sidemen fans
for a really long time.
1194
01:08:10,520 --> 01:08:11,839
It's pretty exciting for us.
1195
01:08:11,839 --> 01:08:14,399
USA. New Mexico, USA.
1196
01:08:14,399 --> 01:08:16,519
Erm, Essex. So northern Essex.
1197
01:08:16,519 --> 01:08:21,279
Sidemen Sunday, every Sunday,
telly goes straight on to YouTube.
1198
01:08:21,279 --> 01:08:24,200
After like a stressful week,
you've got Sidemen Sunday coming.
1199
01:08:24,200 --> 01:08:29,160
You can eat your takeaway, put it on,
and you'll be... escape from the world
1200
01:08:29,160 --> 01:08:32,160
and just have a laugh,
and we always watch it every week.
1201
01:08:32,160 --> 01:08:33,840
I've watched them for so long and like...
1202
01:08:33,840 --> 01:08:38,279
they're just so creative in what they do
and every video's just, like, amazing.
1203
01:08:38,279 --> 01:08:43,240
I love the one where the Sidemen
became parents for 24 hours.
1204
01:08:43,240 --> 01:08:45,840
That's one of my favourites.
1205
01:08:45,840 --> 01:08:49,240
Personally, I'm here to see
Miniminter and KSI but for you...
1206
01:08:49,240 --> 01:08:51,920
Well, for him, he's more of a Simon fan,
1207
01:08:51,920 --> 01:08:54,599
but I'm actually here for Speed
from the YouTube Allstars,
1208
01:08:54,599 --> 01:08:55,880
I really love Speed.
1209
01:08:55,880 --> 01:08:58,920
So. I'm really hoping he'll score some...
quite a few goals.
1210
01:09:02,880 --> 01:09:03,840
{\an8}Oh!
1211
01:09:03,840 --> 01:09:04,800
{\an8}Yeah.
1212
01:09:04,800 --> 01:09:08,040
{\an8}Oi, Speed. What are you? Striker?
1213
01:09:08,040 --> 01:09:09,599
- Left wing.
- Left wing, cheese.
1214
01:09:11,519 --> 01:09:13,519
- Oh, my God. Look at it, man.
- Ooh. Oh, my God.
1215
01:09:19,040 --> 01:09:20,800
- Chris joined our side.
- Come on.
1216
01:09:20,800 --> 01:09:23,840
{\an8}- You've been getting a bit of flak.
- Yeah. It wasn't even my decision.
1217
01:09:23,840 --> 01:09:27,319
{\an8}No it was actually our decision
to bring Chris over to,
1218
01:09:27,319 --> 01:09:29,720
{\an8}what we believe
is balancing out the teams.
1219
01:09:29,720 --> 01:09:31,800
- If we've done that or not, who knows.
- Yeah.
1220
01:09:31,800 --> 01:09:33,359
It's always so difficult to tell
1221
01:09:33,359 --> 01:09:36,840
'cause there's loads of people
that you've never seen play before so...
1222
01:09:36,840 --> 01:09:38,920
- Yes. Exactly.
- You definitely rigged it for them.
1223
01:09:38,920 --> 01:09:41,200
I've never played soccer, football,
whatever so.
1224
01:09:41,200 --> 01:09:44,840
I have no idea what I'm doing.
So, if it was even, you've just taken...
1225
01:09:44,840 --> 01:09:45,880
Stop saying this.
1226
01:09:49,800 --> 01:09:52,479
Fuck KSI.
1227
01:09:52,479 --> 01:09:56,200
- Football.
- Let's go, boys.
1228
01:10:01,000 --> 01:10:03,360
About to bust your ass. Bust your ass.
1229
01:10:03,360 --> 01:10:07,720
- Come on then, huh?
- Bust your ass.
1230
01:10:07,720 --> 01:10:11,200
I don't give a shit, bro.
I don't give a shit, bro.
1231
01:10:20,360 --> 01:10:22,360
We're about to bust their ass, man.
It's over.
1232
01:10:38,440 --> 01:10:42,440
In the match in 2022,
the match sold out within one evening.
1233
01:10:42,440 --> 01:10:44,400
It would've sold out immediately,
1234
01:10:44,400 --> 01:10:47,639
{\an8}but we broke the servers
when tickets went on sale.
1235
01:10:47,639 --> 01:10:50,440
{\an8}There was 170,000 people
trying to buy tickets.
1236
01:10:50,440 --> 01:10:54,440
It's the first charity match
we've done in four years.
1237
01:10:54,440 --> 01:10:58,440
It's the first event that we've had
as a group since before the pandemic...
1238
01:10:59,559 --> 01:11:01,400
Let's go, boys.
1239
01:11:02,679 --> 01:11:06,200
...where we've got to be with
such a large amount of our audience.
1240
01:11:10,639 --> 01:11:13,200
The crowd's
welcoming these players.
1241
01:11:13,200 --> 01:11:18,559
It's getting lively here at The Valley.
1.3 million people watching this.
1242
01:11:18,559 --> 01:11:20,240
It's exciting.
1243
01:11:20,240 --> 01:11:23,440
We might have two, three,
four million people watching at once.
1244
01:11:23,440 --> 01:11:27,400
Oh, it's unbelievable.
Those numbers are simply sensational.
1245
01:11:30,040 --> 01:11:32,840
Captain takes it quickly.
1246
01:11:32,840 --> 01:11:35,679
Remember he scored his goal, I think,
in the first two minutes.
1247
01:11:35,679 --> 01:11:37,720
[commentator 2] Yeah.
1248
01:11:37,720 --> 01:11:41,000
They're underway.
This is not gonna be a nice game.
1249
01:11:41,000 --> 01:11:44,080
Speed is celebrating.
First blood has gone to Speed.
1250
01:11:44,080 --> 01:11:47,720
It's what we're gonna see.
It's little battles all around the pitch.
1251
01:11:47,720 --> 01:11:51,320
Chunkz can hit one here.
He's hit one. Pieface.
1252
01:11:51,320 --> 01:11:54,080
Goal! Oh, my word!
1253
01:11:54,080 --> 01:11:55,720
Take a bow, Chunkz!
1254
01:11:55,720 --> 01:11:58,679
It's still going
for the YouTube all stars.
1255
01:11:58,679 --> 01:12:03,679
Could be a chance for Niko Omilana!
It's in! It's two-nil to the Allstars!
1256
01:12:03,679 --> 01:12:05,760
We'd all said all we want is goals.
1257
01:12:05,760 --> 01:12:08,480
Even if we lost eight-five,
we just want goals.
1258
01:12:08,480 --> 01:12:11,360
Simon! Can he get it
to Vik? He's through.
1259
01:12:11,360 --> 01:12:12,320
Go on, Vik.
1260
01:12:12,320 --> 01:12:13,720
Chance for the Sidemen!
1261
01:12:17,120 --> 01:12:19,400
Everything became
a little bit poetic.
1262
01:12:19,400 --> 01:12:21,679
We were back on track. Morale was up.
1263
01:12:21,679 --> 01:12:25,679
The stadium was happy,
and we were set for a good game.
1264
01:12:25,679 --> 01:12:28,200
- Randolph to Simon. One-two.
- Oh, that's gorgeous.
1265
01:12:28,200 --> 01:12:31,040
- It's gotta be a goal! Oh, it is!
- Two-two!
1266
01:12:31,040 --> 01:12:33,320
What a game!
It's the shot.
1267
01:12:33,320 --> 01:12:34,679
Oh, my gosh.
1268
01:12:35,200 --> 01:12:38,519
Instantly, we're like, "Okay.
Well, this game is already a classic.
1269
01:12:38,519 --> 01:12:39,720
It's already amazing."
1270
01:12:39,720 --> 01:12:41,040
Oh, will it in?
1271
01:12:41,040 --> 01:12:43,920
What a game!
You can't take your eyes off it!
1272
01:12:43,920 --> 01:12:49,639
Now Jizzle outside the box!
Oh, what a ball that is. Wow. Wow.
1273
01:12:49,639 --> 01:12:52,320
We could be going to penalties here.
Seven apiece.
1274
01:12:52,320 --> 01:12:55,760
- Hang on! Hang on! Oh, my God!
- [commentator 2] Oh, my God!
1275
01:12:55,760 --> 01:12:59,800
Miniminter gets his hat trick
and what a way to seal it.
1276
01:12:59,800 --> 01:13:03,160
But the referee is gonna
bring the whistle to his lips...
1277
01:13:03,160 --> 01:13:07,760
- And it's all over!
- [commentator 1] It is full time. 8-7.
1278
01:13:07,760 --> 01:13:10,960
One of the best games we've seen
on YouTube.
1279
01:13:13,880 --> 01:13:15,760
I'd love to have gone to penalties
1280
01:13:15,760 --> 01:13:18,400
just for how much of a spectacle
that would've been.
1281
01:13:18,400 --> 01:13:21,880
But at the same time, I'm not gonna
complain about scoring a winner
1282
01:13:21,880 --> 01:13:23,920
in front of 2.5 million people, am I?
1283
01:13:27,840 --> 01:13:32,880
It has been absolutely
fascinating and heartwarming
1284
01:13:32,880 --> 01:13:36,519
to see how much this match
has been discussed
1285
01:13:36,519 --> 01:13:38,240
{\an8}and how much the content
1286
01:13:38,240 --> 01:13:40,760
{\an8}of people discussing the match,
has trended.
1287
01:13:41,719 --> 01:13:43,960
{\an8}And even if you look
at the number of concurrent viewers
1288
01:13:43,960 --> 01:13:45,280
{\an8}they had on that match
1289
01:13:45,280 --> 01:13:48,519
{\an8}that probably surpasses
the concurrent views
1290
01:13:48,519 --> 01:13:51,080
{\an8}on huge events that we have
1291
01:13:51,080 --> 01:13:55,719
{\an8}like the Champions League final,
like the funeral of the Queen, you know?
1292
01:13:55,719 --> 01:13:59,719
{\an8}Those numbers are absolutely staggering.
1293
01:14:06,599 --> 01:14:11,120
So far it's one million,
seventy-four thousand, three hundred and--
1294
01:14:14,200 --> 01:14:19,120
I don't think we really understood
how big this one was gonna be.
1295
01:14:19,120 --> 01:14:20,639
So to be able to say, er...
1296
01:14:20,639 --> 01:14:24,320
we raised over a million pounds
for charity is absolutely gigantic.
1297
01:14:24,320 --> 01:14:26,679
And that goes to really good charities,
1298
01:14:26,679 --> 01:14:30,360
and good to have a charity partner onboard
that is one of the group.
1299
01:14:30,360 --> 01:14:32,960
We're trying to organise some events
for this coming year
1300
01:14:32,960 --> 01:14:34,639
to raise money for M7 Education.
1301
01:14:34,639 --> 01:14:38,080
If you guys do wanna know more about M7,
I'll stop talking about it now,
1302
01:14:38,080 --> 01:14:40,920
but I'll leave a link to it
in the description down below,
1303
01:14:40,920 --> 01:14:43,800
and you guys can go check it out
and donate if you want to.
1304
01:14:43,800 --> 01:14:45,440
You're a horrible person if you don't.
1305
01:14:48,280 --> 01:14:50,480
So my brother worked at a bunch of schools
1306
01:14:50,480 --> 01:14:52,760
that couldn't afford to go
on school trips.
1307
01:14:54,280 --> 01:14:57,000
So I'd always said to him
that I wanna start a charity.
1308
01:14:57,000 --> 01:15:00,080
When you get into a position where you can
do good, use it.
1309
01:15:00,080 --> 01:15:04,800
So M7, for those that don't know,
we find schools that are in areas
1310
01:15:04,800 --> 01:15:08,360
where the students might not be able
to afford to go on school trips
1311
01:15:08,360 --> 01:15:10,719
- and have these educational experiences.
- Hmm.
1312
01:15:10,719 --> 01:15:13,120
And it's all funded through you.
1313
01:15:13,120 --> 01:15:16,160
Like the whole... and as of last week,
1314
01:15:16,160 --> 01:15:19,200
I'm pretty certain I can say,
got charity status.
1315
01:15:19,200 --> 01:15:20,480
- Let's go.
- Finally, a charity...
1316
01:15:20,480 --> 01:15:24,800
For me it was... when I went to school,
I was lucky enough to go on school trips.
1317
01:15:24,800 --> 01:15:28,320
So I always remember those way more
than the rest of the school year.
1318
01:15:28,320 --> 01:15:32,000
So we signed up over a thousand students
to go on school trips.
1319
01:15:32,000 --> 01:15:33,280
- Wow.
- Which is pretty awesome.
1320
01:15:33,280 --> 01:15:35,599
Thank you, M7 team!
1321
01:15:37,240 --> 01:15:41,679
Being able to give, however many kids,
the chance to go on those school trips
1322
01:15:41,679 --> 01:15:43,480
and make their own memories is...
1323
01:15:43,480 --> 01:15:45,639
seemed like a no-brainer
for me and my brother.
1324
01:15:51,599 --> 01:15:53,599
The misconception
about Simon is that...
1325
01:15:53,599 --> 01:15:55,679
he always tells me he's self-conscious
1326
01:15:55,679 --> 01:15:57,679
or he's not sure that he has something.
1327
01:15:57,679 --> 01:16:00,599
So Josh has got like his clothing brand,
JJ's got his music,
1328
01:16:00,599 --> 01:16:02,120
Simon's always asking what's his?
1329
01:16:02,120 --> 01:16:04,400
Well, his is just hard work
and consistency.
1330
01:16:04,400 --> 01:16:08,920
He like posts about six videos a day
on about 15 different channels.
1331
01:16:09,760 --> 01:16:13,440
He's just like relentless with it.
So every day, non-stop hard work.
1332
01:16:13,440 --> 01:16:15,599
He never misses a day.
He never misses the content.
1333
01:16:15,599 --> 01:16:18,639
So he just works super, super hard,
and does deserve credit.
1334
01:16:18,639 --> 01:16:21,400
Yo! What's going on?
Welcome to another Reddit video.
1335
01:16:21,400 --> 01:16:24,080
That's right. I am posting videos.
1336
01:16:24,080 --> 01:16:27,519
Remember my favourite post or comment
will win $1,000.
1337
01:16:28,200 --> 01:16:30,840
He's stubborn with...
his work ethic has never changed.
1338
01:16:30,840 --> 01:16:33,440
It's like, "We need to get this done
and that's that."
1339
01:16:33,440 --> 01:16:35,960
{\an8}Like he'd run the More Sidemen channel
for years.
1340
01:16:35,960 --> 01:16:39,000
Without him being on that channel
and taking responsibility,
1341
01:16:39,000 --> 01:16:41,160
I don't think it is where it is today.
1342
01:16:41,160 --> 01:16:43,040
So his stubbornness pays off for him
1343
01:16:43,040 --> 01:16:45,480
because he has the right mindset
about things
1344
01:16:45,480 --> 01:16:48,559
and when he's made his decision,
he's made a decision.
1345
01:16:48,559 --> 01:16:51,360
So it's not a bad stubborn Simon
when you do see this.
1346
01:16:51,360 --> 01:16:53,920
It's a good stubborn.
You're good.
1347
01:16:53,920 --> 01:16:55,719
I don't know how Simon does it, man.
1348
01:16:55,719 --> 01:16:57,599
Simon's got all the money in the world.
1349
01:16:57,719 --> 01:17:00,559
He's got the Sidemen stuff doing well,
and he still grinds.
1350
01:17:00,559 --> 01:17:03,519
Every day he's posting,
like, multiple videos.
1351
01:17:03,519 --> 01:17:07,840
Consistency really does matter
on the platform.
1352
01:17:07,840 --> 01:17:10,160
And when you have these super fans,
1353
01:17:10,160 --> 01:17:11,760
they have expectations
1354
01:17:11,760 --> 01:17:14,960
of when you're going to deliver
the content that they want.
1355
01:17:14,960 --> 01:17:18,040
And so it's an anticipation.
It's an excitement.
1356
01:17:24,920 --> 01:17:28,360
{\an8}Tanya Pile, slate five, take one.
1357
01:17:28,360 --> 01:17:31,120
{\an8}So the boys are, obviously,
the creative brains.
1358
01:17:31,120 --> 01:17:33,320
{\an8}They will come up with what videos to do,
1359
01:17:33,320 --> 01:17:36,400
{\an8}and they'll chat to me about
what they would like that video to be,
1360
01:17:36,400 --> 01:17:38,920
{\an8}and then I do my best to make it happen.
1361
01:17:41,440 --> 01:17:42,679
How's it going, guys?
1362
01:17:42,679 --> 01:17:44,960
And welcome to Sidemen hide and seek
1363
01:17:44,960 --> 01:17:47,240
on a jumbo 747 plane.
1364
01:17:48,679 --> 01:17:52,519
Hey, yo! I can't do this.
I can't.
1365
01:17:52,519 --> 01:17:54,519
Fuckin' hell.
1366
01:17:54,519 --> 01:17:57,440
As time's gone on,
got bigger studios,
1367
01:17:57,440 --> 01:18:00,360
bigger locations, more travel.
1368
01:18:00,360 --> 01:18:02,679
They're always wanting to be
one step ahead,
1369
01:18:02,679 --> 01:18:06,240
and it's really exciting, and we're always
like, "What can we do next?"
1370
01:18:06,240 --> 01:18:08,160
I'm like, "How much bigger can we go?"
1371
01:18:08,160 --> 01:18:11,200
Before lockdown, we had...
I don't know how many million subscribers.
1372
01:18:11,200 --> 01:18:15,000
We've got like 17 now.
So like lockdown was huge for the Sidemen.
1373
01:18:15,000 --> 01:18:15,920
Whoo!
1374
01:18:15,920 --> 01:18:17,920
Because we was
that one consistent thing
1375
01:18:17,920 --> 01:18:20,400
in people's lives that they could watch
every Sunday
1376
01:18:20,400 --> 01:18:23,200
and then more Sidemen throughout the week.
1377
01:18:23,880 --> 01:18:25,760
I think probably after Covid,
1378
01:18:25,760 --> 01:18:28,360
and everyone had like two weeks inside
just watching our videos,
1379
01:18:28,360 --> 01:18:29,639
that's when it got a bit mad.
1380
01:18:29,639 --> 01:18:33,519
I don't know if you can hear me, but
my balls are squished into my trousers.
1381
01:18:33,519 --> 01:18:36,320
I'm really proud of the growth
over the last few years.
1382
01:18:36,320 --> 01:18:37,480
It's been phenomenal.
1383
01:18:37,480 --> 01:18:39,360
- One, two, three!
- Sidemen!
1384
01:18:42,880 --> 01:18:46,760
Contrary to belief,
we actually don't really pay attention
1385
01:18:46,760 --> 01:18:49,240
to trends or to dates that much.
1386
01:18:49,240 --> 01:18:54,200
I think the, the bliss and the blessing
of Sidemen is it's long-form content
1387
01:18:54,200 --> 01:18:57,120
that you get to really see
an insight into us
1388
01:18:57,120 --> 01:18:58,440
and you get the true us.
1389
01:18:58,440 --> 01:19:02,880
If you was to focus on analytics and data
too much,
1390
01:19:02,880 --> 01:19:04,519
you'll get a different product.
1391
01:19:04,519 --> 01:19:07,800
You'll get a 16-minute video
which is very much in your face.
1392
01:19:07,800 --> 01:19:10,519
You'll get a lot of great concepts,
video and views,
1393
01:19:10,519 --> 01:19:12,400
but you'll lose a lot of personality.
1394
01:19:12,400 --> 01:19:14,800
So, there's not many channels like ours
1395
01:19:14,800 --> 01:19:17,599
where you can get away with
a two-and-a-half-hour long video
1396
01:19:17,599 --> 01:19:19,160
and get 90 million views.
1397
01:19:20,519 --> 01:19:25,080
{\an8}We've had experts come along and people
who work with the likes of MrBeast.
1398
01:19:25,080 --> 01:19:28,200
The one kind of resounding thing
that they always say is,
1399
01:19:28,200 --> 01:19:30,320
"Everything we do shouldn't work."
1400
01:19:30,320 --> 01:19:31,800
And that makes me laugh, right,
1401
01:19:31,800 --> 01:19:34,639
'cause it's like...
"It shouldn't work but, it does."
1402
01:19:34,639 --> 01:19:37,400
There's been a lot of group channels
that have tried and failed.
1403
01:19:37,400 --> 01:19:40,440
We've got systems in place
that make things that always worked.
1404
01:19:40,440 --> 01:19:42,120
{\an8}They've got these mad systems in place
1405
01:19:42,120 --> 01:19:47,480
{\an8}that I don't think many other, er,
YouTube boy bands, er, have in place.
1406
01:19:48,400 --> 01:19:49,360
Run!
1407
01:19:49,360 --> 01:19:52,440
If someone's like 15 minutes late
for a shoot,
1408
01:19:52,440 --> 01:19:55,519
then that means that they're gonna get
a yellow card.
1409
01:19:55,519 --> 01:19:59,000
I remember at one point
it being a frustration for me and Simon
1410
01:19:59,000 --> 01:20:01,840
that certain people
who do less than others.
1411
01:20:01,840 --> 01:20:05,599
And I knew that. I'm a control freak.
So I'm an enabler.
1412
01:20:05,599 --> 01:20:09,280
So I allow people to do nothing
because I'll do the work.
1413
01:20:09,280 --> 01:20:12,240
So... that's kind of like where
a lot of systems probably came from.
1414
01:20:12,240 --> 01:20:14,559
- The card system?
- Yeah.
1415
01:20:14,559 --> 01:20:17,559
It holds people responsible.
That's what it does.
1416
01:20:17,559 --> 01:20:19,920
If you're half an hour late
to a real life shoot,
1417
01:20:19,920 --> 01:20:21,120
you get a yellow card.
1418
01:20:21,120 --> 01:20:23,200
If you're 15 minutes late
to an online shoot,
1419
01:20:23,200 --> 01:20:24,240
it's a yellow card.
1420
01:20:24,240 --> 01:20:27,440
If you're not wearing Sidemen clothing
at a Sidemen shoot, it is a yellow card.
1421
01:20:27,440 --> 01:20:31,920
And we have a tally of how many videos
we've all taken charge of on the channel.
1422
01:20:31,920 --> 01:20:34,280
So if you get two yellows...
video gone.
1423
01:20:34,280 --> 01:20:36,200
Oh, no, no, no, no. No, no, no.
1424
01:20:36,200 --> 01:20:37,160
No, no, no, no.
1425
01:20:37,160 --> 01:20:39,880
- No, no, no.
- No, no, no.
1426
01:20:39,880 --> 01:20:42,800
- You can't take five minutes to reply...
- Fuck it. Yeah.
1427
01:20:42,800 --> 01:20:45,160
- ...location.
- Stop. No. We've literally just...
1428
01:20:45,160 --> 01:20:47,639
Fam, we told him to turn.
He didn't fucking turn.
1429
01:20:47,639 --> 01:20:51,080
- We were here I swear.
- No, no. It's a yellow.
1430
01:20:51,080 --> 01:20:52,400
- No. It's not.
- It's a yellow.
1431
01:20:52,400 --> 01:20:53,880
It's not a yellow. I'm here!
1432
01:20:53,880 --> 01:20:56,760
- The majority decides end of the day.
- I'm here, bro!
1433
01:20:56,760 --> 01:20:58,679
- You can't argue with the majority.
- What? No.
1434
01:20:58,679 --> 01:21:00,599
It's a majority decision. It's a yellow.
1435
01:21:00,599 --> 01:21:02,200
Yeah but then... Because you're...
1436
01:21:02,200 --> 01:21:04,440
Oh... Oh, he changes even though it's not.
1437
01:21:04,440 --> 01:21:06,000
Majority decision.
1438
01:21:06,000 --> 01:21:10,280
Yeah, we managed to be, what,
a couple seconds late.
1439
01:21:10,280 --> 01:21:12,120
Er, I got very angry.
1440
01:21:12,120 --> 01:21:15,920
'cause no one wants a yellow card
because it means you have to do more work.
1441
01:21:15,920 --> 01:21:17,880
Yeah, I know. But it's just like...
1442
01:21:17,880 --> 01:21:20,519
All right. All right.
Calm. Calm. All right.
1443
01:21:20,519 --> 01:21:22,800
When it was introduced,
it was alien to people.
1444
01:21:22,800 --> 01:21:25,120
When you talk about it to people,
1445
01:21:25,120 --> 01:21:28,000
it seems like someone's at the top
controlling us.
1446
01:21:28,000 --> 01:21:30,400
But it's just a democratic choice
that works.
1447
01:21:30,400 --> 01:21:32,760
It means that there's fairness
across the group
1448
01:21:32,760 --> 01:21:35,080
there's a spread, er,
across everything we do.
1449
01:21:35,080 --> 01:21:38,040
The way I see it from you two right now,
you're doing the,
1450
01:21:38,040 --> 01:21:39,719
"Oh, but it's not fine for me."
1451
01:21:39,719 --> 01:21:44,080
- Do you... remember the Easter egg video?
- Other people... Yeah.
1452
01:21:44,080 --> 01:21:45,800
I was there at one minute past...
1453
01:21:45,800 --> 01:21:47,559
I will back you on...
1454
01:21:47,559 --> 01:21:50,280
Boys, calm. It's a yellow.
1455
01:21:50,280 --> 01:21:53,080
A-okay behind the scenes this is.
1456
01:21:53,080 --> 01:21:55,480
We need to film, come on.
1457
01:21:55,480 --> 01:21:58,240
Within the Sidemen, obviously,
we have seven people
1458
01:21:58,240 --> 01:22:00,960
and we have a sentence that rules all.
1459
01:22:00,960 --> 01:22:02,880
The majority decides.
1460
01:22:02,880 --> 01:22:05,160
I think it's nice to have a voting system
1461
01:22:05,160 --> 01:22:07,880
and then for it not to become
an emotional debate.
1462
01:22:07,880 --> 01:22:10,599
It's just like, "It got voted.
I was outvoted.
1463
01:22:10,599 --> 01:22:12,840
Fine. Let's proceed
as you guys think best."
1464
01:22:13,480 --> 01:22:15,120
I think YouTubers of that period
1465
01:22:15,120 --> 01:22:18,480
that it went from YouTubers made merch,
then they made books.
1466
01:22:18,480 --> 01:22:22,080
- Yeah. Yeah.
- And then music came into it a little bit.
1467
01:22:22,080 --> 01:22:25,480
And then more recent times,
YouTubers are trying expand horizons
1468
01:22:25,480 --> 01:22:29,440
like, "What business can we make?
We could be next big things."
1469
01:22:29,440 --> 01:22:31,639
So then, we've always had all these ideas.
1470
01:22:31,639 --> 01:22:35,040
It's like you said... how do you build
a team to launch these things.
1471
01:22:35,040 --> 01:22:36,960
Ideas that are relative to us
1472
01:22:36,960 --> 01:22:39,880
like doing mukbang, food round,
drinking videos,
1473
01:22:39,880 --> 01:22:42,840
it's stuff that's relative to us
that we have an actual interest in
1474
01:22:42,840 --> 01:22:45,800
that will outlive just us as creators.
1475
01:22:45,800 --> 01:22:48,200
- I hate business.
- You hate business?
1476
01:22:48,200 --> 01:22:50,160
- I hate business.
- Do ya?
1477
01:22:50,160 --> 01:22:52,599
Yeah. I really like videos.
I don't like business.
1478
01:22:52,599 --> 01:22:55,760
- But you like money so...
- No. I like the result of business.
1479
01:22:55,760 --> 01:22:59,200
- What does it mean by hating business?
- I don't like sitting in a meeting.
1480
01:22:59,200 --> 01:23:02,240
Yeah. I get it. I get it.
You know what? I agree with that.
1481
01:23:02,240 --> 01:23:04,160
Yeah. I like creating the video.
1482
01:23:04,160 --> 01:23:05,639
But I think you also...
1483
01:23:05,639 --> 01:23:09,040
like there is a huge side of just creative
to a business.
1484
01:23:09,040 --> 01:23:10,040
Hmm.
1485
01:23:10,040 --> 01:23:12,679
I think the next trend for us is...
what I mean--
1486
01:23:12,679 --> 01:23:14,679
You never know the next trend.
1487
01:23:14,679 --> 01:23:17,200
No. I was gonna say entrepreneurs...
1488
01:23:21,840 --> 01:23:24,400
- Entrepreneu-la-la-la-la-eur.
- It's entreprenueralship.
1489
01:23:24,400 --> 01:23:26,519
- There we go.
- So that's not content.
1490
01:23:26,519 --> 01:23:30,040
We're not making our YouTube videos
about our companies. So...
1491
01:23:30,040 --> 01:23:33,160
In YouTube, you never know
what the next thing is.
1492
01:23:33,160 --> 01:23:34,800
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- There's a quote.
1493
01:23:34,800 --> 01:23:37,320
You either ride the wave,
or you get washed up.
1494
01:23:37,320 --> 01:23:39,960
Ooh!
1495
01:23:46,160 --> 01:23:47,920
Hey, Josh.
1496
01:23:48,800 --> 01:23:49,800
Do you like it?
1497
01:23:49,800 --> 01:23:52,360
- Oh, you look good.
- Thank you.
1498
01:23:53,080 --> 01:23:54,400
That's so deadly.
1499
01:23:54,679 --> 01:23:57,480
- I actually need you as a reference.
- Okay.
1500
01:23:57,480 --> 01:24:01,320
What is that little extra thong?
The thing at the back? I love it.
1501
01:24:01,320 --> 01:24:03,880
Got a little G-string on.
1502
01:24:03,880 --> 01:24:05,160
Some will be easier.
1503
01:24:05,160 --> 01:24:09,280
Vik is a very business-savvy guy.
He's got a lot of investments.
1504
01:24:09,280 --> 01:24:12,519
Pretty sure he's got seats
on the board of multiple companies.
1505
01:24:12,519 --> 01:24:16,960
He's about his money.
He's a very, very business-minded man.
1506
01:24:24,719 --> 01:24:30,240
I grew up in a fairly typical
Indian family setting.
1507
01:24:30,240 --> 01:24:34,840
By the sense of the traditions
that our family is very important.
1508
01:24:34,840 --> 01:24:39,120
You must work very hard,
and it is important to succeed.
1509
01:24:39,120 --> 01:24:41,559
I was part of a local swimming club.
1510
01:24:41,559 --> 01:24:45,960
They had me take lessons for the drums,
for the piano, for the violin,
1511
01:24:45,960 --> 01:24:49,080
always pushed me
to work really hard at school.
1512
01:24:49,080 --> 01:24:52,320
I am now really, really grateful for that.
1513
01:24:52,320 --> 01:24:54,519
And I think a big part of that for them
1514
01:24:54,519 --> 01:24:58,200
were these were all of the things
that they weren't able to do growing up.
1515
01:24:58,200 --> 01:24:59,760
- Hey.
- Nice to see you.
1516
01:24:59,760 --> 01:25:01,960
- And you.
- Hey, man. How you doing?
1517
01:25:01,960 --> 01:25:03,800
Being able to have
those conversations about,
1518
01:25:03,800 --> 01:25:05,719
"Hey, we're actually looking
for equity now
1519
01:25:05,719 --> 01:25:09,000
because we understand
that what we're doing for your business
1520
01:25:09,000 --> 01:25:10,679
isn't just gonna help tomorrow,
1521
01:25:10,679 --> 01:25:13,400
but it'll help for the next ten years
of your business."
1522
01:25:13,400 --> 01:25:16,920
I always had a bit
of an entrepreneurial spirit behind me.
1523
01:25:17,679 --> 01:25:20,280
When I was in primary school,
I used to sell rulers.
1524
01:25:20,280 --> 01:25:23,599
When I went to secondary school,
I started selling sweets to students
1525
01:25:23,599 --> 01:25:26,559
and that allowed me
to buy my first set-up.
1526
01:25:26,559 --> 01:25:31,840
I've always had that innate desire
to use my own brainpower
1527
01:25:31,840 --> 01:25:37,160
to generate a revenue
and some form of worth as it were.
1528
01:25:38,719 --> 01:25:41,320
One of my granddads,
his entire dream in life
1529
01:25:41,320 --> 01:25:44,679
was to become a successful businessman.
1530
01:25:44,679 --> 01:25:47,960
He had all of the books about
how to live in prosperity,
1531
01:25:47,960 --> 01:25:49,440
how to be a millionaire
1532
01:25:49,440 --> 01:25:52,200
and shame he's not still around today,
1533
01:25:52,200 --> 01:25:55,880
but, I think, he'd very happy
with what I've been able to achieve.
1534
01:25:57,480 --> 01:25:58,760
Right Let's get it.
1535
01:25:58,760 --> 01:26:03,320
Ministry, are you ready?
1536
01:26:03,320 --> 01:26:08,800
Vik is multi-faceted. Like, he's so smart,
but he's also a lot of fun.
1537
01:26:08,800 --> 01:26:10,639
One, two, three Let's go.
1538
01:26:12,519 --> 01:26:16,080
He's driven and he gets it done, man.
1539
01:26:18,360 --> 01:26:20,000
That's one thing I'll say about Vik.
1540
01:26:20,000 --> 01:26:22,160
When he sets about a task,
he will get it done.
1541
01:26:29,960 --> 01:26:33,719
{\an8}To go from a creator to a giant business,
you've gotta be a creator first.
1542
01:26:33,719 --> 01:26:36,599
{\an8}And a lot of people try to skip that step
or do it too early.
1543
01:26:36,599 --> 01:26:38,519
{\an8}I think for them, it's pretty easy
1544
01:26:38,519 --> 01:26:41,360
because they've got
seven influential people.
1545
01:26:41,360 --> 01:26:44,240
Then when you combine them together,
it's just cool what they do.
1546
01:26:44,240 --> 01:26:46,800
And so, you naturally
add their products to the mix.
1547
01:26:46,800 --> 01:26:48,920
I don't think there's that many people,
1548
01:26:48,920 --> 01:26:52,519
{\an8}that have the ability to move product
like that on social media currently.
1549
01:26:52,519 --> 01:26:53,800
It will go up in the future,
1550
01:26:53,800 --> 01:26:57,280
but you could count 'em on your hands,
the ones that can move product,
1551
01:26:57,280 --> 01:27:00,480
and, obviously, they're one of them.
So it's very cool to see.
1552
01:27:00,480 --> 01:27:03,719
The interesting one was
the paid for premium subscription service
1553
01:27:03,719 --> 01:27:05,840
that we also launched called Side+.
1554
01:27:05,840 --> 01:27:11,080
Currently, we offer like a podcast
and behind the scenes.
1555
01:27:11,080 --> 01:27:13,320
One of my favourite things about it
1556
01:27:13,320 --> 01:27:16,920
is it's also a very powerful statement
about what we're able to build
1557
01:27:16,920 --> 01:27:21,519
and how the platform we have now built
can exist outside of YouTube.
1558
01:27:21,519 --> 01:27:24,000
And I think it gives us
a very powerful position
1559
01:27:24,000 --> 01:27:27,280
to proving that we can drive
more revenue off YouTube
1560
01:27:27,280 --> 01:27:30,519
than we can on YouTube,
which is fantastic.
1561
01:27:30,519 --> 01:27:33,960
Side+ won't ever exist
without the Sidemen YouTube channel.
1562
01:27:33,960 --> 01:27:36,719
A lot of people were worried
they're moving to a platform
1563
01:27:36,719 --> 01:27:38,559
where we have to pay to watch them.
1564
01:27:38,559 --> 01:27:43,639
But the reason we made Side+
was to now fund the Sidemen videos.
1565
01:27:43,639 --> 01:27:47,960
And also, it's a chance for us
to interact with fans through giveaways.
1566
01:27:47,960 --> 01:27:51,719
We can do meet and greets.
We can do the spending stuff.
1567
01:27:51,719 --> 01:27:54,639
And because of Side+,
Sidemen can go further.
1568
01:28:00,840 --> 01:28:01,880
Class.
1569
01:28:01,880 --> 01:28:04,759
So one, two, three. One, two, three.
1570
01:28:04,759 --> 01:28:07,360

01:29:28,519 --> 01:29:30,280
"Do you wanna actually try?"
1602
01:29:30,280 --> 01:29:34,000
And then I remember JJ, Tobi
and a bunch of them in the song were like,
1603
01:29:34,000 --> 01:29:38,400
"Yes. A hundred times yes. Please.
Let's try. Let's give it a go."
1604
01:29:38,400 --> 01:29:41,280
- We're doing this all without a label.
- Yeah. That's...
1605
01:29:41,280 --> 01:29:43,120
- Power to the people.
- That's exciting.
1606
01:29:43,120 --> 01:29:46,080
I definitely think the whole
music-industry people understand
1607
01:29:46,080 --> 01:29:48,519
that you have to be doing it
through the label,
1608
01:29:48,519 --> 01:29:50,040
but we'll show 'em.
1609
01:29:50,040 --> 01:29:52,840
And I think the... our whole journey,
unintentionally,
1610
01:29:52,840 --> 01:29:55,599
has been about us saying,
"We'll do it ourselves."
1611
01:29:55,599 --> 01:29:56,599
We'll do it ourselves.
1612
01:29:56,599 --> 01:29:58,559
"We'll do a charity match,
sell out a stadium."
1613
01:29:58,559 --> 01:30:02,080
And we had like stadiums saying to us,
"Oh, you can't fill out the stadium."
1614
01:30:03,200 --> 01:30:04,719
Yeah. Do you mind?
1615
01:30:04,719 --> 01:30:06,719
Yeah, yeah. Harry.
We're kind of doing a, er...
1616
01:30:06,719 --> 01:30:08,000
We're doing...
1617
01:30:08,000 --> 01:30:10,400
- Yeah, you could...
- Yeah, do it quietly.
1618
01:30:11,759 --> 01:30:14,360
Okay, cool.
1619
01:30:19,759 --> 01:30:21,599
- This is the chaos.
- This is the shit house...
1620
01:30:21,599 --> 01:30:24,480
How we get anything done is a miracle.
1621
01:30:25,440 --> 01:30:27,719
How are we...
1622
01:30:38,480 --> 01:30:41,920
If we're wanting attention,
this is one way to do it.
1623
01:30:44,280 --> 01:30:46,519
We did this without expecting anything
from it.
1624
01:30:46,519 --> 01:30:48,160
We're just making content for fun.
1625
01:30:48,160 --> 01:30:51,960
When you have a audience of our size that,
you know, the charts are possible.
1626
01:30:51,960 --> 01:30:56,519
But to chart at Christmas,
when the competition is so high,
1627
01:30:58,960 --> 01:31:00,160
would be ridiculous.
1628
01:31:00,160 --> 01:31:03,240
It is ridiculous
to even be in the conversation
1629
01:31:03,240 --> 01:31:05,160
for Christmas number one is like...
1630
01:31:06,679 --> 01:31:07,960
It's out of this world, man.
1631
01:31:10,200 --> 01:31:13,559
"Christmas Drillings!"
What we saying people?
1632
01:31:17,559 --> 01:31:22,360
Lord. Big boy on the mic.
1633
01:31:22,360 --> 01:31:24,040
Oh, go on, people.
1634
01:31:24,040 --> 01:31:28,240
Jeez. We are here in London
having the time of our lives.
1635
01:31:28,240 --> 01:31:32,440
Jeez, Sidemen storming London.
It's mad.
1636
01:31:33,759 --> 01:31:35,400
Oi, oi, oi!
1637
01:31:39,400 --> 01:31:42,559
We wanted people to know that we believe
this song should really be number one,
1638
01:31:42,559 --> 01:31:44,240
and we wanted to drive that energy
1639
01:31:44,240 --> 01:31:46,559
{\an8}to try and generate
those moments on social
1640
01:31:46,559 --> 01:31:50,160
{\an8}where fans are creating TikToks,
they're creating Instagram stories,
1641
01:31:50,160 --> 01:31:51,719
{\an8}support "Christmas Drillings."
1642
01:31:51,719 --> 01:31:53,200
{\an8}Yeah!
1643
01:31:54,280 --> 01:31:56,480
{\an8} "Christmas Drillings"
pick up the run.
1644
01:31:56,480 --> 01:31:58,320
{\an8}"Christmas Drillings" still number one.
1645
01:31:59,719 --> 01:32:02,240
{\an8}It's everywhere.
You cannot miss this vibe.
1646
01:32:02,240 --> 01:32:06,480
We got a mad bus
for this. It's crazy.
1647
01:32:06,480 --> 01:32:08,800
We're trying to get our Christmas tune
to number one.
1648
01:32:08,800 --> 01:32:10,759
Are you all ready? Shout Noel.
1649
01:32:24,480 --> 01:32:26,840
Oh, this is mine.
Oi! What's going on? Sorry.
1650
01:32:34,200 --> 01:32:36,840
Buy the song,
and don't get us arrested, please.
1651
01:32:36,840 --> 01:32:40,280
We won't get the Christmas number one.
We'll be in prison.
1652
01:32:40,280 --> 01:32:44,120
Please clear the road.
1653
01:32:44,120 --> 01:32:47,400
- The feds are gonna lock us up.
- We'll totally get arrested.
1654
01:32:49,679 --> 01:32:51,840
- What do you think of Tottenham?
- Shit!
1655
01:32:51,840 --> 01:32:53,960
- What do you think is shit?
- Tottenham!
1656
01:32:53,960 --> 01:32:56,320
- Thank you.
- That's all right.
1657
01:32:56,320 --> 01:32:59,200
- That's fucking amazing.
- Come on.
1658
01:33:15,679 --> 01:33:17,639
{\an8}I'll put you out of your misery.
No surprises.
1659
01:33:17,639 --> 01:33:20,440
{\an8}because you guys are
the UK's Christmas number one!
1660
01:33:20,440 --> 01:33:24,360
{\an8}Come on! Congratulations!
1661
01:33:24,360 --> 01:33:27,400
Getting that track into the charts alone
and doing what it did,
1662
01:33:27,400 --> 01:33:28,880
was a huge community effort
1663
01:33:28,880 --> 01:33:32,440
which actually goes
very much against the industry,
1664
01:33:32,440 --> 01:33:34,320
against capitalism in a sense,
1665
01:33:34,320 --> 01:33:37,120
very much the community
versus the big corporates
1666
01:33:37,120 --> 01:33:41,000
which I genuinely feel also resounds
really well with the Sidemen, in general.
1667
01:33:41,000 --> 01:33:44,880
Like this community got this track
into the charts and beat Mariah Carey.
1668
01:33:44,880 --> 01:33:47,880
'Cause without a record label,
without pulling any strings,
1669
01:33:47,880 --> 01:33:50,320
without getting on any playlists,
over the radios,
1670
01:33:50,320 --> 01:33:54,360
without paying huge amounts of money
to do all the things you need to do,
1671
01:33:54,360 --> 01:33:57,519
this was pure community.
And that's really special.
1672
01:33:58,920 --> 01:34:04,679
{\an8}I don't think that the mainstream media
will ever accept online content creators.
1673
01:34:04,679 --> 01:34:07,599
{\an8}I think that there's still
a lot of rigidity
1674
01:34:07,599 --> 01:34:09,240
in the traditional media landscape.
1675
01:34:09,240 --> 01:34:13,280
There's a tremendous lack of diversity
that really prevents the forward thinking
1676
01:34:13,280 --> 01:34:18,440
that's required to see the innovation
and the potential in the online community.
1677
01:34:18,440 --> 01:34:21,280
It's kind of like
old money versus new money.
1678
01:34:21,280 --> 01:34:25,040
And there's just... I see that distinction
so clearly sometimes in my job,
1679
01:34:25,040 --> 01:34:28,599
where you see the, sort of,
very exciting digital frontier
1680
01:34:28,599 --> 01:34:32,480
and then this massive divide with this,
you know, with legacy media,
1681
01:34:32,480 --> 01:34:34,639
that's just unwilling to change.
1682
01:34:46,519 --> 01:34:49,280
I think we've all changed
over the ten years.
1683
01:34:49,280 --> 01:34:51,960
I think it's hard to say
who's changed the most.
1684
01:34:51,960 --> 01:34:54,559
I mean, physically,
Ethan's changed the most.
1685
01:34:56,599 --> 01:35:01,200
Mentally, I think it's gotta be Ethan,
especially having a kid now.
1686
01:35:02,960 --> 01:35:05,800
Yes, the first one of us to have a child.
1687
01:35:05,800 --> 01:35:08,840
It's mental, you know, because...
say we're watching the TV
1688
01:35:08,840 --> 01:35:12,080
and I put a Sidemen video on
and she's gonna say, "Daddy's on the TV."
1689
01:35:12,080 --> 01:35:15,960
And she's gonna have to grasp the fact
that, "Yes, your dad does this."
1690
01:35:15,960 --> 01:35:18,000
People comment on that.
1691
01:35:18,000 --> 01:35:20,960
It's gonna be really interesting.
Not sure how I'll work it out.
1692
01:35:20,960 --> 01:35:23,519
Hopefully, I've got a little bit of time
to buy.
1693
01:35:23,519 --> 01:35:25,360
When families get involved
1694
01:35:25,360 --> 01:35:29,120
and you start having more and more babies
come in to the group,
1695
01:35:29,120 --> 01:35:31,759
that's another responsibility
that you've gotta deal with.
1696
01:35:31,759 --> 01:35:34,719
It's another thing to take your time,
and that is a priority,
1697
01:35:34,719 --> 01:35:36,360
family should always be your priority.
1698
01:35:36,360 --> 01:35:38,759
But if there's one thing
that history's proven,
1699
01:35:38,759 --> 01:35:40,200
is that we're good at evolving.
1700
01:35:41,480 --> 01:35:43,719
For me, I've always found it
really important
1701
01:35:43,719 --> 01:35:46,080
to slowly build and create a world
for myself
1702
01:35:46,080 --> 01:35:48,400
outside of content, outside of work.
1703
01:35:48,400 --> 01:35:50,800
That makes us better as content creators
1704
01:35:50,800 --> 01:35:53,599
because it gives us
a wider experience of life
1705
01:35:53,599 --> 01:35:55,160
and that's the key, I think.
1706
01:35:56,200 --> 01:35:59,240
I think my advice for any future
YouTube groups
1707
01:35:59,240 --> 01:36:02,360
is don't look at the Sidemen and go,
"I wanna be the next Sidemen."
1708
01:36:02,360 --> 01:36:04,960
You can look at it and take aspects, cool.
1709
01:36:04,960 --> 01:36:09,080
But ours worked because it was natural.
We weren't trying to be someone else.
1710
01:36:09,080 --> 01:36:10,559
We literally were just us.
1711
01:36:12,360 --> 01:36:14,320
I know a lot of people look up to me.
1712
01:36:14,320 --> 01:36:17,480
So, I try to be the best human I can be.
But I'm a human.
1713
01:36:17,480 --> 01:36:19,800
So, I'm gonna have flaws.
I'm not gonna be perfect.
1714
01:36:19,800 --> 01:36:22,920
You know, I feel like a lot of people
just through what I've done,
1715
01:36:22,920 --> 01:36:27,280
have been very inspired and influenced,
and it's so sick and cool to see.
1716
01:36:27,960 --> 01:36:32,320
The interesting one to see will be
how YouTube and this space develops,
1717
01:36:32,320 --> 01:36:33,639
and how we develop with it.
1718
01:36:33,639 --> 01:36:37,840
It's like a shift.
You have the television killing radio,
1719
01:36:37,840 --> 01:36:40,800
and now you have
like the internet killing television.
1720
01:36:40,800 --> 01:36:42,480
We're front and centre of that.
1721
01:36:42,480 --> 01:36:47,360
And there'll be a lot of massive things
that will occur in these next ten years
1722
01:36:47,360 --> 01:36:49,920
that will make everyone realise
that has happened.
1723
01:36:51,000 --> 01:36:53,679
I think if we fail, we've had a stinker
1724
01:36:53,679 --> 01:36:55,440
because it's like all there for taking.
1725
01:36:55,440 --> 01:36:58,880
We're all very well known.
We're as big as we can be.
1726
01:36:58,880 --> 01:37:02,080
And we're full of like people
that are actually pretty switched on.
1727
01:37:02,080 --> 01:37:06,360
So, I think, we're destined for greatness.
But it's not really my forte.
1728
01:37:06,360 --> 01:37:09,759
So if we are, we are.
If not, I'm happy with what we've got.
