  Hello and welcome to another episode of Christian Reef
• 0:05
  podcast. Today's episode is actually very
• 0:07
  special because it marks the 30th installment of the
• 0:12
  Christian Reef podcast. And for those video viewers, you
• 0:15
  can see that we have Dutch deals on the podcast again for I
• 0:18
  believe the third time, now returning, guess the toys.
• 0:23
  Always welcome back on the show. So thanks, thanks for coming
• 0:26
  back on the show and we're going to do something a little bit
• 0:29
  different today. Obviously, normally, you guys
• 0:32
  know that I interview my guests and obviously, if they're
• 0:35
  returning guests, we have a bit of a chat that's still going to
• 0:38
  happen. But this past week, I did
• 0:41
  actually put out a very unsuccessful little campaign
• 0:45
  asking if there was any questions that people wanted to
• 0:48
  ask me. We thought we would flip it up
• 0:51
  and have someone interview me for a change instead of me,
• 0:55
  interviewing someone else. So Dutch deals has actually Like
• 1:01
  written a bunch of questions to ask me and yeah you can see the
• 1:05
  list though. I was not expecting, that would
• 1:08
  be honest but yeah, it really sucks whenever this isn't a
• 1:12
  complaint. I'm just saying how it is right?
• 1:14
  Whenever I put these little social media things out and I'm
• 1:17
  like hey guys what do you think of the podcast or hey guys like
• 1:21
  ask me some questions for this upcoming thing?
• 1:24
  Literally no one responds and how is that?
• 1:28
  Not even one question. There's nothing anyone wants to
• 1:32
  know, like, if I think the worst thing is, if you look at your
• 1:36
  your insights to see how many people's actually come across it
• 1:38
  on Twitter, it's like 600 or something, but not a single
• 1:41
  person, as even like looked at it, what is it?
• 1:44
  That I don't mind so much. I mean, you know, if it's just
• 1:47
  because obviously with the hashtags it means it's open to a
• 1:50
  little wider audience. So I don't expect strangers to
• 1:52
  care, but I do expect like, I don't know, family, friends,
• 1:56
  maybe other online people. I know because there's people,
• 2:00
  That that I'm good friends with. I'm like, why didn't you ask me
• 2:03
  a question? Like you know that this is
• 2:05
  important right? Well I was even and I was kind
• 2:09
  of sad by the fact that nobody replied so I was gonna leave but
• 2:12
  then again, I just decided to write up a full case of
• 2:14
  questions. Before we get into talking about
• 2:23
  me because I don't like really doing that, to be honest.
• 2:26
  How are you doing, ma'am? I'm not too bad.
• 2:30
  I've fully started school now. All right, I started three weeks
• 2:37
  ago on Wednesday to watch two or three weeks on Wednesday, and
• 2:44
  it's like 30 minutes away by car.
• 2:47
  All Bus 30 30. Well okay it's not too bad far
• 2:54
  away. 30 minutes is nothing. Man, I've gone way longer to
• 2:58
  places but what do you think minutes is chill?
• 3:01
  But school? So if you're late, you are late.
• 3:06
  If you're if I missed the bus I have to wait 15 minutes for the
• 3:09
  next one, which turns a normal half an hour journey into a
• 3:13
  45-minute Journey, right, CEO? I mean, you're in the
• 3:16
  Netherlands, Us and obviously things are different country by
• 3:20
  country. So what do the classrooms kind
• 3:24
  of look like at this point? And what I mean by that question
• 3:27
  is, you know, is it compact compact or, you know, have you
• 3:31
  got a lot of people in a classroom or is there like
• 3:33
  social distancing, think there's about 19, it like 18 or 19
• 3:39
  people in my class? No, no 16.
• 3:43
  The 16 people are remember. The students don't have to
• 3:47
  socially distance from each other, but if they want to they
• 3:50
  can just sort of keep a wide berth from people.
• 3:54
  But students and teachers have to stay 1.5 meters away from
• 4:01
  Someone but like the standard classroom.
• 4:04
  Like are you going in there? And there's like a big bunch of
• 4:07
  people or he's there like you know, like one seat free, one
• 4:11
  seat, freak like that. Although stickers like a normal
• 4:14
  classroom, a lot of the classrooms have the same layout
• 4:16
  in the sense that it's like a big, you like of the tables, and
• 4:22
  then a block of like four seats in the middle.
• 4:26
  Interesting. Okay.
• 4:27
  Alright, teacher wants to help them to put on like a fish
• 4:31
  Shield. Hmm.
• 4:34
  So like do you does everyone carry like hand sanitizer or is
• 4:37
  that actively available everywhere and stuff?
• 4:40
  Yeah. You when you come in the
• 4:41
  collapse, your tent put you have to put a hand sanitizer on
• 4:45
  before you go and sit down. So eventually the Hat, the room
• 4:48
  just smells of hand sanitizer when you're walking into school.
• 4:55
  Well, I suppose it's College. It's not school because you
• 4:57
  finish school. So, was his college.
• 4:59
  Now, isn't it? This is, this isn't like my
• 5:02
  college were actually go and learn things.
• 5:04
  This is just a school to go and learn the Dutch language.
• 5:09
  Sorry. Yeah, you did say I remember.
• 5:10
  Yeah. How is that going?
• 5:11
  By the way shot is good. Okay.
• 5:16
  Pronunciation is good. I must say benefit many Lawns ma
• 5:21
  shaver and most of her. And okay, laser laser is Nick,
• 5:29
  so cuuuute must play Sega display, okay?
• 5:32
  This would your pronunciation is very good.
• 5:35
  I think I think. Because I remember last time we
• 5:37
  were talking about this and you kind of said like, you know,
• 5:39
  you've been visiting the Netherlands for many years.
• 5:42
  So you've basically been learning a language for many
• 5:44
  years so I think like that factors in very highly about you
• 5:47
  said last time, you know, like you probably not going to be in
• 5:50
  this class for very long because you've got a ticket.
• 5:52
  I think it's just reading and writing, I need because I'm
• 5:55
  pretty. don't listen to people but I have to sort of they have
• 5:58
  to speak slower and after showed up and I have to sort of give
• 6:01
  them this look Yeah. I okay, I had the, I had the
• 6:08
  same problem in Estonia, like if people spoke at a reasonable
• 6:12
  Pace, sometimes I can understand every single word, it was really
• 6:15
  weird. Like because it do you have this
• 6:19
  thing where like you won't necessarily like translate in
• 6:23
  your head but you just know what they're saying.
• 6:25
  You know what they mean? Yeah sometimes when my dad's
• 6:29
  boss speaks German I can sort of use some of the Dutch words to
• 6:34
  sort of just go And flip it into German and then I'm like, okay,
• 6:37
  but I can't say anything because I don't know German.
• 6:41
  Hey, there are similarities. I must say when you speak the
• 6:44
  language was, I learnt German at school and stuff.
• 6:46
  So like when I hear Dutch, it sounds like a mixture of German
• 6:51
  in English and then something I can't quite put my finger on.
• 6:55
  But there's other there's other languages that like I think
• 6:58
  Danish is kind of like that as well.
• 7:00
  Like very like the Belgian Flemish because that's the
• 7:03
  mission of induction French. Yep.
• 7:08
  When I said that my child can actually do cool.
• 7:12
  Well, her family as she was born in the Netherlands, but a
• 7:15
  family. Yeah, her name is mcclarty,
• 7:17
  lemons. Until a man's is typical Belgian
• 7:21
  name. Cool.
• 7:23
  What are some? Make me a waffle.
• 7:26
  What our standards wasn't. What a standard.
• 7:29
  Like Dutch names. Like everyday names for duck.
• 7:34
  You get a lot of And I'm trying to think of the boss boss boss
• 7:45
  boss, boss Army, but suck me. No but I mean, in terms of I
• 7:53
  don't know about first names because actually you get a lot
• 7:58
  of Brigitte, Brigitte stricter. Oh, isn't that French name
• 8:03
  Brigitte? But again, But like Bridget,
• 8:08
  it's like Bridget, you get a lot of Brushy toothbrush, L where
• 8:12
  heat? There's a lot of Raji like Roger
• 8:18
  Reggie was yeah. Okay.
• 8:21
  Interesting. Like art.
• 8:22
  But one of my friends is called Rush our or SJ rush.
• 8:28
  But in terms of last names, I've said the most popular one that
• 8:31
  I've seen about is the answer. Yeah.
• 8:37
  All right, let's bring it back to coffee'd for a second.
• 8:40
  I just want to ask what it's like in the Netherlands, because
• 8:42
  I don't know if you've been keeping up in the UK but it's a
• 8:45
  bit fucking stupid at the moment.
• 8:48
  We think bringing back that no more than six people thing.
• 8:52
  Yeah, they've brought it back but here's the issue for that.
• 8:55
  Right. Is that a I mean schools?
• 8:59
  First of all, it's schools are open.
• 9:01
  You have classes full of like 30 or more kids.
• 9:06
  That immediately Trump's over your rule of not having more
• 9:09
  than six people, in one particular area.
• 9:11
  So, mmm, secondly, they've got this thing where they call it.
• 9:17
  Eat out to help out which just an aside, I think it's hilarious
• 9:21
  as a tagline. That's that's it.
• 9:23
  That's it. That's not really peachy.
• 9:26
  Maybe it's, maybe it's my dirty mind, but the first time I heard
• 9:29
  that I was like that hilarious. But no, but in all seriousness,
• 9:31
  though, it seemed like a cool concept, like, you know, get
• 9:34
  out. Yeah.
• 9:35
  Okay. Money for my girlfriend over
• 9:36
  now. Hey, listen the government
• 9:40
  recommends. It helping, we're hoping the
• 9:44
  economy guys were helping Society, okay?
• 9:48
  Mean, it is a, it is just another reason to stay at home.
• 9:51
  I mean, you know better, it also isn't as though it does, it
• 9:54
  helps local businesses and it's designed as a concept to help
• 10:00
  Society, right? I get it right, but instead of
• 10:04
  blaming it on, you know, I did this in a video basically.
• 10:08
  Recently, I said, instead of looking at things like you know,
• 10:11
  the fact that, you know, we've got this scheme, which basically
• 10:16
  encourages people to actively, spend time in closed areas where
• 10:21
  lots of people are being, you know, potentially catching the
• 10:27
  virus or being surrounded by it, right?
• 10:31
  That's number one. Number two, you're actively
• 10:33
  encouraging people to do that. You're urging people to instead
• 10:37
  of isolate or stay away from people who are encouraging
• 10:40
  people to go out there and, you know, mingle with other people.
• 10:44
  So you're strengthening the chances of catching the virus or
• 10:48
  spreading it and then there's all these other things like
• 10:52
  movie, theaters, opening and stuff.
• 10:53
  And don't get me wrong, where I sit on this, is that I think all
• 10:56
  of these things can be done and done in a sensible way.
• 11:01
  But I don't think it's fair. Like the government is basically
• 11:05
  I said, oh, it's the full of all young people that we've had to
• 11:08
  go back into, you know, regress, back into this sort of secondary
• 11:12
  lockdown situation. It's because they're going out
• 11:14
  and, and, and fraternizing in big groups, and that's the
• 11:18
  reason. And it's like, I'm not
• 11:21
  completely disagreeing. I've seen some of that in
• 11:23
  Manchester. I've seen that in London, I've
• 11:25
  seen that in all sorts of places, so, it does happen, but
• 11:28
  to completely pin it on young, people is just be us.
• 11:31
  Like, it's not. Do you know what I mean?
• 11:33
  Especially like. Schools opening is a government
• 11:37
  initiative. They pushed that they said we
• 11:39
  want schools to be open again. We won't, you know, kids to be
• 11:43
  in his classroom. Generates this stupid other day.
• 11:46
  I just think it's a logical person, but you're blaming kids
• 11:50
  for being kids. You mean, obviously, obviously
• 11:53
  kids want to go out and want to have fun?
• 11:55
  And I want to, you know, go down to the town and mmm, hang around
• 12:00
  with each other, but the fact that we can't do it, that's
• 12:03
  weird where the Only generation that this has happened to, I
• 12:08
  don't think there's been any other.
• 12:09
  I mean, not unless we're talking about the black plague, but This
• 12:14
  is the first time a global pandemic has ruined part of our
• 12:20
  childhoods. See the thing is as well.
• 12:22
  I think people because I said this to my mom actually on the
• 12:25
  phone. Just before we started, the
• 12:29
  podcast that, you know, more people would take this lockdown
• 12:33
  seriously, if the rules didn't contradict each other, you're
• 12:37
  not a bit like. So if you say one thing, and
• 12:39
  then you're doing another and people look at that, even young
• 12:42
  people, young people are They're not idiots.
• 12:44
  They're gonna look at that like well I can do whatever the fuck
• 12:47
  I want them. Because, you know, your rules
• 12:48
  are bullshit and they don't make any sense.
• 12:50
  Doing if you have like a blanket rule, where it's like, okay, you
• 12:54
  just can't go anywhere. Just, I know it's extreme but
• 12:56
  like, you know, you just can't leave right then everyone
• 12:59
  understands that. And if everyone's following it,
• 13:01
  then it's probably going to be okay.
• 13:03
  And you're going to have minor problems, but the fact that
• 13:07
  they've had all these different contradictory rules, like, okay,
• 13:12
  you know, they said, like, oh, you have to Wear masks when you
• 13:15
  ever you go into stores now. But then they were talking about
• 13:18
  people, traveling on public transport, don't have to wear
• 13:20
  masks and it's like well what's the point of wearing a mask in
• 13:24
  one medium or area? But they're not wearing it in
• 13:26
  another, where people mix. It's ludicrous.
• 13:29
  And that's I feel the story at least in the UK of the
• 13:34
  government's response and failure.
• 13:36
  It's not so much necessarily about them acting too late or
• 13:40
  putting measures in place. It's the fact that they put
• 13:42
  contradictory measures in place. All the time that this leaves
• 13:45
  the whole public thinking. Well, what the fuck?
• 13:48
  Like I guess I just got to look out for myself and use my brain
• 13:51
  and be sensible with this, but ultimately, I don't know what
• 13:55
  the situation is. But the tricky part of it is
• 13:57
  that, you know, now they're introducing things like fines
• 14:00
  and stuff. So if you're in a group of more
• 14:02
  than six people, you apparently get fined like 100 pounds or
• 14:05
  something. And I know this in the beginning
• 14:07
  was a thing that happened or that least, they touch.
• 14:10
  They spoke about. I don't think it was actually, I
• 14:12
  didn't hear about any This is Rose.
• 14:14
  Yeah. Actually you know and acted on
• 14:16
  but it's something that is obviously designed to scare
• 14:21
  people and stop people from doing that.
• 14:23
  But the reality what you see is very different, from what the
• 14:27
  government says gentleman. Like if I go into Manchester
• 14:30
  City Centre, not many people are wearing a mask.
• 14:34
  It just feels like any other day of the year.
• 14:36
  Like is though, there's not even a pandemic going on and I'm not
• 14:39
  trying to shit on people here. I'm just saying that like That's
• 14:42
  that's how people are reacting to it and I think that you would
• 14:46
  see everyone wearing a mask in places like Manchester and
• 14:49
  London, if the rules were actually logical and didn't
• 14:53
  contradict each other and just were watertight so to speak.
• 14:58
  Yeah, my biggest problem with it is is I mean, okay.
• 15:04
  Fair enough, you have to wear a mask on public transport over
• 15:08
  here at least over here in Germany.
• 15:11
  You have to wear a mask on public transport.
• 15:13
  You have to wear a mask in a store.
• 15:16
  You have to wear a mask If you're sort of at risk.
• 15:20
  Well, I think that you just don't go out, but the thing is,
• 15:24
  is I saw on the bus had, you know, they have those screens
• 15:28
  that sort of tell you the stops that are coming up.
• 15:30
  And yeah, it will give you some sort of news, it said.
• 15:34
  Let up, which is like, yeah, watch out, not wearing your mask
• 15:41
  in Germany. Can give you a fine of like 150
• 15:44
  Euros or something, because the, because the limbach liner the
• 15:49
  bus that I get, it goes from Maastricht.
• 15:53
  Which is the city that I go to school in.
• 15:56
  Yeah, into to Arkin, which goes into Germany.
• 16:00
  Oh wow. So if the bus cuts into Germany,
• 16:03
  they have to tell you yet, you can't get a find in the
• 16:06
  Netherlands, for not wearing a mask.
• 16:07
  But if you're in Germany and you're not wearing a mask, you
• 16:10
  could get a fine. I think that actually, I think
• 16:12
  you have to wear a mask on public transport regardless, but
• 16:16
  I think it's more strict in Germany than it is in the
• 16:18
  Netherlands. They're strict about everything.
• 16:20
  I was having a chat with some guys.
• 16:23
  Except except speeding tickets except speeding tickets?
• 16:28
  Yeah. I mean, they have to fucking off
• 16:29
  the bone. We can go up to like 200 miles
• 16:31
  an hour. So that doesn't surprise me if
• 16:34
  you like driving Germany likes you.
• 16:38
  Yeah. But that's strict about
• 16:39
  everything except because it Dad that there's a country that I
• 16:44
  know with the least expensive. Speeding tickets.
• 16:48
  So, if, if we get a speeding ticket, we have to pray it in
• 16:53
  Germany. Recently, England, Belgium,
• 16:57
  we're screwed German German. He's like this with everything
• 16:59
  that one of my fat Meats. Who's from Romania told me that
• 17:02
  apparently, for things like torrenting, you can get a fine
• 17:07
  even to this day of up to like 20,000 Euros, believe that
• 17:13
  Because I thought a couple of hundred.
• 17:15
  Okay, that's kind of annoying, but it's not that bad but 20,000
• 17:19
  that's insane. What?
• 17:22
  Whoa, what would you even have to be doing to not be too like
• 17:26
  to not get arrested and be doing something?
• 17:28
  So serious that you get 20,000 pounds or he was saying that it
• 17:32
  was to do with distribution. So what happened was this person
• 17:36
  that he knew that got this, right?
• 17:39
  He actually got like something from like Warner Media or that
• 17:43
  the Homeowners. And then he had to basically
• 17:47
  contest it appear that and he won obviously because he wasn't
• 17:51
  trying to distribute her and then it got a lesson.
• 17:55
  But I think it was still something like 5K, which is
• 17:58
  ridiculous. But I mean, I don't know, man.
• 18:02
  I mean these days, you know, I know certain countries and it
• 18:06
  gives a shit like in Estonia. I remembered asking people like
• 18:09
  is it bad to torrent and people just laugh at me like no one
• 18:12
  cares. Piracy is shit everybody,
• 18:16
  everybody Pirates stuff. Yeah, but he's pirated something
• 18:21
  in the past. I remember my grandpa used to
• 18:23
  burn CDs to get movies for me and I'd what, and I'd watch a
• 18:29
  cinema recorded copy of friggin Over the Hedge or something, I
• 18:32
  never realized this actually. But yeah, I must have broken.
• 18:35
  What? Broken, the law, quite a lot
• 18:37
  when I was a teen because burning CDs was very common back
• 18:40
  and back when I was at, when I was your age, when I was
• 18:42
  teenager. So like, We didn't have
• 18:44
  streaming websites, we only had like, I think iTunes and apple
• 18:50
  music, that kind of shit, but basically, like if we wanted,
• 18:55
  okay? So this was like, I think either
• 18:57
  just before the iPod or around that time but they were really
• 19:00
  expensive. So not everyone had them.
• 19:01
  So you had like your choice was carry around a CD player or we
• 19:05
  got a Walkman or have a shit. Those.
• 19:08
  Yeah. Or named it with the read the
• 19:10
  trip. Yeah.
• 19:12
  And you do you have an MP3 Well, where you'd basically have a
• 19:18
  very limited. Maybe you could have 100 songs
• 19:20
  on there. So you have to choose very
• 19:21
  carefully. What you'd want on there, and
• 19:22
  you'd always like, constantly change the songs that you have
• 19:25
  on there, right? So there's a lot of Hassle and
• 19:27
  effort, but it was kind of cool because it meant that, you know,
• 19:29
  you had this small thing you carry around like eventually I
• 19:31
  got iPod Classic and that was I still to this day.
• 19:34
  It's the only Apple product that I'll say is I had one of those?
• 19:38
  No, I had one of those. I had a I'm not sure if it was
• 19:41
  like an iPod classic but it He's like a very small like iPod and
• 19:47
  you had to spin the thing and it was green.
• 19:51
  It was a green iPod and you had the like yep.
• 19:53
  Like if you wanted to go down your list of songs.
• 19:55
  You have to like go clockwise on this.
• 19:58
  Like sounds like an iPod Nano. I think that rings.
• 20:03
  A bell polygraph that you went. It's like if I want to go down a
• 20:07
  list, you had to like do this sort of motion, a clockwise
• 20:10
  motion, it's going back like before Rule of that stuff.
• 20:15
  When it was just the CDs situation, I would like burn
• 20:20
  stuff to see these. Just like, you know, Generations
• 20:22
  before headline, burnt stuff to tapes, you know, it was the same
• 20:25
  thing, it took forever, but I did it and I was terrible at
• 20:31
  this as well as I'm better. Now, like, if you ask me, like
• 20:33
  I'll make me a CD or a playlist. A lot of dance tracks.
• 20:36
  I could easily do that and it will flow nicely right.
• 20:38
  But back then. I had no idea that I just put my
• 20:41
  favorite songs on there. So be like, Bring Me The
• 20:43
  Horizon. Horizon and then it'd be like, I
• 20:45
  don't know, Linkin Park and then Metallica and then a Slipknot
• 20:48
  song and then like Cannibal Corpse and then a bunch of
• 20:52
  metalcore bands. And then maybe like some pop
• 20:54
  song, it was like all over the shop but it was like my only way
• 20:58
  of having like, some resemblance of what we have now where you
• 21:02
  can just Shuffle. Like I wish we'd had back then
• 21:05
  what we have now because it was that stuff like that.
• 21:08
  I don't miss it. So it was been one of my pet
• 21:11
  peeves. So one of my pet peeves is spot.
• 21:13
  Phi, y. Okay, fair enough.
• 21:16
  You have adverts on the free version, but why can you only
• 21:21
  skip six times? I never listened to a playlist
• 21:24
  straight through. I always skip a couple of times
• 21:27
  to find a song, I wanna listen to it.
• 21:29
  That precise moment. And then fair enough, people
• 21:32
  could just say yeah, but you should just make a playlist that
• 21:35
  you have, you you like all of the songs in?
• 21:37
  Yeah, I do. But this is a song for every
• 21:40
  kind of time. I agree with you.
• 21:43
  And this is why I have like, so many playlists for like,
• 21:47
  different genres, different Vibes, moods decades, like you
• 21:52
  name it, right? But I just have premium and I
• 21:56
  often do the thickest part. If I say this much, they're very
• 22:00
  good. In terms of you just want to
• 22:01
  deactivate and reactivate your account.
• 22:03
  Like, you people do it all the time and they accommodate that.
• 22:05
  So, it's quite useful in that sense.
• 22:08
  It's only like, I think even 999 a month, sometimes it's Us, but
• 22:14
  it's like, it's okay. And I think that, you know, you
• 22:18
  don't, you get the skippable thing, no adverse that's useful
• 22:21
  and not annoying but also you've got this option of like how
• 22:24
  getting to download the music so you can download the music say
• 22:29
  like a playlist to your phone and then listen to it offline
• 22:33
  without fucking our Sonica. Advert for the shit.
• 22:37
  Yeah, but the thing is, is I have enough data so that I'm
• 22:40
  never really offline unless I need to catch up Flight is some
• 22:44
  well, go on the ship and then that there that is useful.
• 22:47
  But no, I wish you could like I wish there was like a like a
• 22:52
  selector of the premium features that you want, for example, the
• 22:57
  the default bundle 999, you get unlimited skips.
• 23:01
  You can listen offline and I think I said that's it.
• 23:06
  Yeah, that's it. So that's all I wanted.
• 23:09
  To be honest, I don't really care if you wanted to take away.
• 23:13
  The offline ability that, that will go from 999 2499 and then I
• 23:19
  would go great because then I could because then I can just
• 23:22
  listen up. I think Skip as much as I want.
• 23:25
  But I don't really need to be offline.
• 23:27
  So I'll just have one feature and it's cheaper.
• 23:30
  I agree with you. Tiered systems are good, like,
• 23:34
  on a side note, I WWE the wrestling company is talking
• 23:38
  about doing that because at the moment, they have like a blanket
• 23:40
  like 999 deal, but they're talking about having a tiered
• 23:43
  system. System where you would have like
• 23:45
  yeah 299 gives gets you a certain access to certain things
• 23:48
  599 has this. You know, it's the sensible
• 23:52
  thing because not everyone can afford, you know, the top top
• 23:55
  thing and not everyone wants to have the top top thing.
• 23:57
  Sometimes I know it's pretty long.
• 23:59
  It's like yeah, precisely are perks and shit.
• 24:03
  Yeah, because for example, I think like four, five months
• 24:10
  ago, I chose to donate too, modest to Pelican, he's a gamer,
• 24:18
  mix gaming videos, but I got the one way he would follow me on
• 24:22
  Twitter and we could have conversations from one above.
• 24:26
  That was to get a free mug, but I was like, no, really, I don't
• 24:30
  really need a mug but tip. Yeah.
• 24:34
  Tiered systems Aren't really flawed at all because you can
• 24:38
  choose exactly what you want. What?
• 24:41
  How long you want to and how much you want to pay?
• 24:45
  Hmm, I don't really see any flaws in them.
• 24:48
  It's a good idea. I agree.
• 24:53
  I mean, obviously everything needs adverts.
• 24:56
  So I mean, I know why they have adverts on the free version
• 24:59
  because they need to make money. But I mean, if you, if you, if
• 25:03
  you pay, then you kind of given them the money.
• 25:06
  So they're like, okay if I know I gotta say though, like I, I
• 25:09
  can't stand that fucking that advert shit, that drives me
• 25:13
  nuts. Like I'd rather pay pay the
• 25:16
  money and just Skip and do whatever the hell I want.
• 25:20
  Spotify person. I think it's great.
• 25:22
  Sometimes I run out of sometimes when I'm going out of Skips and
• 25:25
  there's like nothing in the playlists that are plain
• 25:27
  anything good. I just go on Soundcloud and just
• 25:29
  listen to whatever on there. There is one way to get around
• 25:32
  it or if with Spotify if that happens I think you can like go
• 25:40
  to a new playlist and it will let you skip a little bit before
• 25:43
  it starts doing that band thing again.
• 25:45
  Where I think, I don't know I used to be able to do that
• 25:49
  sometimes Because I put a foot one playlist on.
• 25:51
  I'm like, no, I don't really like that.
• 25:54
  And then I don't have any skip, so I go to a different playlist.
• 25:57
  That's not good either. No, no.
• 25:59
  All right. I'm just going to go with some
• 26:01
  fellow YouTuber. Something, what do you think
• 26:04
  about YouTube music? So obviously or YouTube premium
• 26:09
  because I don't know much about it but what I know is it gets
• 26:11
  you access to those like premium premium content that's only
• 26:15
  available on certain platforms. And also the big I suppose the
• 26:19
  biggest English that you can listen to you to any video,
• 26:23
  Whatever, without the app closing, which is kind of a
• 26:28
  deal-breaker obviously. Yes, you can.
• 26:30
  You can sort of lock your phone. And yeah, yeah.
• 26:34
  Yeah. Because I thought about it and
• 26:35
  then I saw how much it was and I was like, that is not fucking
• 26:38
  worth it, but but they've been trying to justify supposedly
• 26:43
  been trying to do the whole Netflix originals concept of
• 26:46
  making their own content, but everything I've seen, right?
• 26:49
  They'll Lise like, you know, a series for free.
• 26:55
  So you can see like one series. I think that the seidman did it
• 26:58
  for instance, they have that the seidman show.
• 27:00
  And you can see, you can see, I think you still can can see like
• 27:02
  the first episode of the first season and then you've got to
• 27:05
  pay premium to see the rest, right?
• 27:08
  But like, even the sidemen kind of said, like, yeah, you know,
• 27:11
  it's all right, but it's not really like us.
• 27:13
  And like I looked at the way it was filmed and what they were
• 27:16
  doing and like it looks like fun.
• 27:18
  But it, I agree like I think that Inside men Sundays in like
• 27:21
  miles per hour and there's way less production, quality going
• 27:25
  into it. You know, you don't have all of
• 27:26
  that celebrities and shit, but like the concept is good and the
• 27:30
  content is good, and I think that's the key.
• 27:34
  Like, for instance, David blame right now is has some series on
• 27:37
  premium. And yeah, I saw that when I was
• 27:40
  opening YouTuber for, like, I don't want to show it because I
• 27:42
  haven't seen it, but at the same time, like nothing about it.
• 27:45
  Draws me in, I don't see anything groundbreaking by see
• 27:49
  it plastered everywhere. We're over my YouTube, right?
• 27:51
  Because I'm going to see it's being advertised but I just
• 27:55
  haven't seen or heard anyone talk about anything positive
• 27:59
  about premium. It's not to say that.
• 28:01
  Like I've heard people shitting when it either but I haven't
• 28:03
  really heard anyone going to call?
• 28:05
  Yeah, you got to get premium like it's so good.
• 28:07
  You know where as you hear that with Netflix you hear people
• 28:09
  saying like oh yeah stranger things were so good or are you
• 28:13
  did you did you see that episode of poor Jack?
• 28:16
  Oh yeah. That was a good one.
• 28:17
  Yeah. But Yeah get your premium.
• 28:22
  No no thanks. I mean if by chance like YouTube
• 28:28
  works out for me than five years or something.
• 28:30
  I have two million subscribers and money that I can swim in
• 28:34
  like mr. Scrooge, then sure, why not.
• 28:37
  But I'd like to discover it, I'd like to just find out what's
• 28:40
  available but mean I don't see why not.
• 28:46
  But the same time like you said not really worth the money.
• 28:49
  You don't get that many perks. It mean.
• 28:51
  Okay. You can close your phone when
• 28:52
  watching a video. But what's the point in watching
• 28:54
  the video and YouTube and anims far as YouTube music goes have
• 28:58
  Spotify SoundCloud and mixer so again, no.
• 29:06
  Not for me. Not only should we start with
• 29:10
  the questions? Yeah, go, unless let's get the
• 29:13
  questions out of the way. Let's do this.
• 29:15
  All right, so I'm being interviewed for once on my own
• 29:19
  podcast. How well-being, and how about
• 29:23
  them apples? Alright, so the very first
• 29:26
  question, of course, how are you?
• 29:27
  How are you today? Oh, my I'll be, I'll be honest
• 29:31
  with you. I'm nursing a bit of a hangover,
• 29:35
  but I feel good. I feel very good right now,
• 29:39
  because I actually smoked weed for the first time, in many,
• 29:42
  many years. And basically, we were having
• 29:46
  like a welcoming for two new housemates that we have for,
• 29:50
  like a month. And, you know, we just wanted to
• 29:54
  greet them have beards chat, you know, just Say hello, right?
• 29:58
  And then you ended up smoking some hooker.
• 30:00
  Well, they had some stuff and I was like, ooh, and I like,
• 30:03
  normally I just bought now, but I was in a good mood, you know,
• 30:07
  not too drunk, I something new. Well, that's not new.
• 30:10
  I mean, I did drugs a lot back in the day Zoe.
• 30:14
  It's like it's more like, get out.
• 30:16
  Get out of the 90s. Chris.
• 30:17
  It's a bit, right? I was a kid in the nineties.
• 30:21
  I'll just fucking loud. I bet.
• 30:26
  Remember the 90s I remember. Little sit like I can remember
• 30:32
  going to school in the 90s. I remember television watching
• 30:39
  certain programs like the all of this weird stuff.
• 30:42
  I remember like I can remember coming home from school when I
• 30:45
  was like 6 or 7 years old turning on the TV and it would
• 30:49
  be like there's this crappy Australian program called
• 30:52
  neighbors, right? And I don't know why it's
• 30:56
  popular. It's like a soap in Australia,
• 30:58
  but it would had a huge appeal in the UK for Years.
• 31:02
  And so that would be on and basically it would come on about
• 31:04
  3:00 4:00 p.m. and I would normally just have it on in the
• 31:08
  background waiting for like the good programs that coming up
• 31:11
  because the lineup on bbc2 in the 90s and the early 2000s was
• 31:17
  fucking the lip be no seriously. It was The Fresh Prince of
• 31:21
  Bel-Air always and then I think it was like heard that's good
• 31:25
  it's excellent. It stands out even especially
• 31:28
  today actually The Simpsons did always be a Simpsons episode.
• 31:32
  There was occasionally robot wars, if you remember, that was
• 31:36
  good shit. I ever heard of Robert was where
• 31:39
  is that the remote control robots that fight?
• 31:43
  Yeah, I know it. Oh, so good.
• 31:46
  Oh, so good. And he was even great, it was
• 31:48
  really good in the beginning, because Jerry Jeremy Clarkson,
• 31:50
  used to present it and he was already a huge, he would so
• 31:56
  picture this, right? He's walking around being him,
• 31:59
  you know, taking the piss. Right.
• 32:01
  But like, you got so many of these people, like, they would
• 32:04
  do this pre-match. I guess you could call it like
• 32:06
  interview thing where they would walk around the warehouse where
• 32:10
  everyone's like, working on their Bots and shit and they're
• 32:13
  like, you know, I guess hyping up before the fight that.
• 32:15
  Yeah, you know, we've got this extra piercer that we're going
• 32:18
  to destroy razor with because they had names for the body.
• 32:22
  Yeah. Razor versus Scorpion or some
• 32:26
  shit like that but it was it was get like thunder flower versus
• 32:30
  sausage. Language.
• 32:31
  Sometimes it was like that. Some of them were really out
• 32:33
  there in like had weird, but it was fun.
• 32:36
  It. I don't know.
• 32:37
  It was it was a lot of fun, and he would be a, this is, this is
• 32:39
  my robot biscuit tin called out because he's made out of a
• 32:43
  biscuit tin. My grandma is not very happy
• 32:46
  with me. So I need to win this fight so I
• 32:47
  can give her a biscuit tin Buck. It was really cool.
• 32:50
  Have to tell her to watch your fingers when she's going in for
• 32:52
  a, get a biscuit because you know, it was really good with
• 32:54
  Jeremy Clarkson. When he when he would interview
• 32:56
  these guys and it would often be like some 50 year old bloke.
• 33:00
  His son, Let's have it, which is kind of sweet.
• 33:02
  They like he would, he would just rip them out.
• 33:04
  He'd be like, you know, so it's always going to win any better,
• 33:09
  they just rip the rip apart, the guy and sort of be like, what
• 33:12
  are you doing? That way, we play that it was
• 33:15
  almost like he wanted to say, like, why are you wasting your
• 33:19
  time on this shit? But he didn't mean it was that
• 33:23
  kind of like, but he did it in an entertaining way and he, you
• 33:26
  know, it was fun and like the sort of classic Jeremy And what
• 33:31
  are you doing? No, yeah, yeah, no.
• 33:33
  No, no. Don't be stupid James.
• 33:35
  Yeah, precisely. I remember also, they had these
• 33:40
  house robots that were quite interesting.
• 33:42
  They were like, oh yeah, the ones that would come out if the
• 33:45
  fight was gone on for too long. Yeah.
• 33:47
  They were like supposed to be like, I don't know.
• 33:51
  Okay, so if I remember correctly, some of them would
• 33:54
  just be in certain Corners. If you got too close to a
• 33:56
  particular Corner, they would just like, destroy you, but then
• 33:59
  they also had this thing. Where I think if you like, like
• 34:03
  one of them was like if you fell in if you went into a particular
• 34:06
  area like one of them had like a flame for on the top so it like
• 34:09
  push you in there and set your bottom fire.
• 34:12
  And there were other ones I think it was to do with that
• 34:15
  traps or other things and I can't really remember exactly.
• 34:19
  But they would be pulled out for specific reasons.
• 34:21
  And it was cool because all the different robots had different
• 34:23
  gonna. He's gonna clearly look this up
• 34:25
  because this is this is actually really interesting.
• 34:29
  I want to I want to know No. Oh yeah.
• 34:31
  Robot wars house robots. I never thought I would be
• 34:34
  talking about robot wars on my podcast.
• 34:36
  The phone book. Yeah.
• 34:39
  Well that's what you get for inviting a sixteen-year-old.
• 34:42
  I'm surprised. I'm surprised you saw.
• 34:44
  You saw it though. I suppose that the program has
• 34:47
  got a lot of lingam longevity because I mean, it started.
• 34:52
  Late 90's, early 2000's and I believe it's still going on in
• 34:55
  other countries. I don't think it's going on in
• 34:57
  the UK anymore, but the house robot was set of robots on robot
• 35:01
  was doable. Go figure the acted as
• 35:05
  additional hazards for competitive robots in the arena.
• 35:08
  They were do usually occupy one or more cook Corner, patrol
• 35:12
  zones and either attack competitors, if they entered the
• 35:14
  cpc's or became immobilize after which they were free to roam the
• 35:18
  arena. So if one competitor went into
• 35:21
  the corner and then the house robot killed it.
• 35:24
  He could then go back and go for the other one if you want.
• 35:28
  Yeah. For house robots debuted in
• 35:31
  season one. Dead metal.
• 35:34
  Solitude. Yes, I remember Matilda Matilda
• 35:38
  was a tiny one that looked really silly and like
• 35:40
  unassuming. And if you had a really big bot,
• 35:42
  you could actually take on. Like I sometimes saw the house
• 35:45
  box would get destroyed by bigger Bots, but rarely did that
• 35:48
  happen. Like it was only when you had
• 35:50
  like box like Matilda would actually there would be some
• 35:54
  sort of a chance whereas there was was that one sir killer?
• 35:58
  Is that one? Yeah, these with more joining
• 36:03
  them. As The original series
• 36:04
  progressed, these are just a circle a lot, Mister cycle,
• 36:07
  Growler and Cassius Chrome. Don't remember that.
• 36:10
  But I remember Circle a lot because it was huge and it had
• 36:13
  like some ways other than season to the cycle season six Growler
• 36:17
  season series 6 and Cassius Chrome was Series 7 Circle.
• 36:21
  A lot was the best one. So it was huge.
• 36:23
  And it had like a very, it was weird.
• 36:26
  Like, full the most of these robots were really tiny.
• 36:29
  I'm not sure if you can see that at all.
• 36:30
  Yeah, I can see it. It's good but it's like it has a
• 36:35
  whole body and like it's huge whereas a lot of the Bots were
• 36:40
  really tiny they'd off he's got he's got like tank wheels and
• 36:44
  like a knight armor sort of base and Aspire and loads of armor
• 36:48
  all over them but like your typical bot.
• 36:51
  Would generally be small like a square shape or a circle at very
• 36:56
  small. Like and like Bots like soaked
• 36:58
  in a lot could literally just ride over them, but their work.
• 37:02
  Huge trucks. Then they were a few that would
• 37:05
  like, really I remember there was just one bought that for
• 37:07
  many years was like the champion.
• 37:09
  I think it was called razor and it was literally just a small
• 37:13
  kind of box with like a big massive metal piercing tool and
• 37:21
  it would literally as it would basically clamp you and then
• 37:25
  like force the yeah. There you go.
• 37:27
  You can see it. Yeah, it would clamp you and put
• 37:29
  the pincer into your into your body when I was sick.
• 37:32
  Searching this talk chassis. When I was putting this up, one
• 37:35
  of the recommendations was raised up versus Soquel a lot.
• 37:39
  So I take it. You went against Circle a lot.
• 37:41
  Wow, I got a son. That's that that's gotta take
• 37:46
  some balls to go up against one of the house.
• 37:48
  Robots. That literally looks like a
• 37:50
  tank. Well, like I said sometimes they
• 37:52
  would do that sometimes like you you would have people do it for
• 37:55
  a laugh and see what happens and sometimes they would beat the
• 37:57
  house, Paula Sims got funny. I think if so kill a lot was to
• 38:02
  get destroyed. I think what would you even do
• 38:06
  from that point? You'd have to have a pretty
• 38:09
  powerful but to make that happen that's what would that with the
• 38:13
  game. Just start with the like, did
• 38:15
  you just kill Circle a lot? I mean, yeah, yeah, it was easy
• 38:21
  kill there. Never was always was good.
• 38:23
  There was also. What else was there?
• 38:29
  There was a bunch of Star Trek. That was how I got into Star
• 38:31
  Trek Star Trek, the Next Generation, they would do
• 38:34
  replays of that. Obviously I got I became a much
• 38:37
  bigger fan as I got older, but it was fun to watch as a kid as
• 38:41
  well because it's just kind of weird and out there.
• 38:43
  But I sweat that BBC to line up for many years.
• 38:47
  I mean, you've had, at least 4 hours, 4 hours of good program
• 38:51
  in there, every week. I think it's switched.
• 38:54
  I think it's switched to Nickelodeon because I think I
• 38:56
  remember, that's what I wash robot was on.
• 38:59
  Oh really? Wow.
• 39:00
  Okay, that's weird. But I mean it's like if if
• 39:05
  there's a good day of Television because the problem is with now
• 39:09
  is most people just watch Netflix or YouTube because
• 39:12
  there's never anything good on TV.
• 39:14
  Yeah, it's true. And that's true.
• 39:16
  Now, I mean, occasion of this Top Gear, and on Comedy Central,
• 39:19
  the South Park Family Guy Bob's Burgers, things like that.
• 39:23
  But other than that, I mean, they don't even play in the same
• 39:26
  order. So if you're on season 2, they
• 39:28
  Shona episode from season 3 or something like well.
• 39:32
  No well no I mean that's a bit unfair because normally they
• 39:35
  just start like okay, let's say like friends for instance if
• 39:38
  they're doing a friend's re one they'll always start from the
• 39:40
  beginning and you but though the problem with that is that they
• 39:45
  will be played same episode like five times a day before they get
• 39:48
  to the next one but they normally go through it.
• 39:52
  I just to make sure you don't miss it.
• 39:54
  Yeah if you're where you are today and then come home I mean
• 39:58
  you You watch on Netflix. Just stop messing about.
• 40:01
  I think my it there is this weird kind of thing with TV
• 40:04
  though that I've never been able to explain.
• 40:06
  It's like a movie almost feels like more special and more fun
• 40:11
  if it's on TV versus if you've just chosen it, Janome for some
• 40:15
  reasons because it doesn't, it doesn't, it doesn't take into
• 40:18
  account. Like, if I want to watch a James
• 40:21
  Bond movie because I remember one, I don't think it was
• 40:25
  Christmas, but I think I remember one summer, then what
• 40:28
  they played. The James Bond movies, every
• 40:32
  Friday, every Friday night from 10:00 till whatever, time the
• 40:36
  movie finished. Mmm.
• 40:38
  And they just went through and went through and watching them
• 40:42
  on TV with the ads. It was better than if I put it
• 40:46
  on on Netflix. Because okay, there's a break,
• 40:48
  I'm going to go to the toilet, get a drink, get some peanut
• 40:51
  M&Ms, and I'll be back and then I'll sit back down and then the
• 40:55
  closing part of the other Pokemon movie would start ago.
• 40:59
  Chris. Yeah.
• 41:01
  What why is that? Why is that interesting or so
• 41:04
  not interested. Why is that more preferable?
• 41:06
  Because when you really think about it it's not it's much more
• 41:10
  convenient to like yeah pause it and you can you still can't you
• 41:13
  can pause TV and shit but but not having not having that like
• 41:18
  exact pause inability. I mean because I don't like
• 41:20
  pause and live television because that is not live
• 41:22
  television anymore. Because there's a fair firfer.
• 41:26
  I don't like pausing actual TV. It's weird.
• 41:30
  I like it. I like it on just like climbing.
• 41:32
  I don't like it on live, like, like a live sports event or so,
• 41:35
  I think that's defeats the point, but maybe it's useful.
• 41:39
  I mean, if you genuinely needed to like and you didn't want to
• 41:42
  miss anything, then you've got that option now.
• 41:44
  Whereas you, yeah, we we set the MotoGP to record if we have to
• 41:49
  go out. So like, if well, we'll watch up
• 41:51
  to a certain point and then if I have to go out Set to record
• 41:55
  from when we stopped watching it.
• 41:57
  No, I'll just record the entire get race.
• 42:03
  Yeah, anyway, you mind, if I scoot into please sub, s the
• 42:08
  SEC. We're in the second category.
• 42:10
  See, I like it because I don't have to do the research for
• 42:12
  once. I didn't either, but you did 25
• 42:17
  minutes. That's that's, I wasn't
• 42:18
  expecting it. I thought we just have like a
• 42:20
  couple of questions and that would be it.
• 42:21
  I wasn't expecting a whole segment.
• 42:23
  No, no. I I did my homework, okay?
• 42:26
  So this is the backstory section to I'm worried, okay?
• 42:34
  Not not. Not too deep, okay?
• 42:38
  Phil Collins would be impressed, it's not in too deep.
• 42:41
  So in terms of city, where are you from London?
• 42:48
  See, you are from London and Manchester.
• 42:51
  Yeah. Okay.
• 42:53
  And what was it? Like, growing up that What's it
• 42:56
  like growing up in London? When I was a teenager, it was.
• 43:01
  It was some of the best times in my life.
• 43:04
  I've said this many times before, but yeah I loved I loved
• 43:07
  growing up in London because you know, I didn't live exactly.
• 43:11
  In London, I lived in a suburb in West, London or Northwest
• 43:14
  London. I should say an area called
• 43:17
  Hillingdon. Very beloved to me, even to this
• 43:20
  day, like there are certain areas shoutout to ruislip, not
• 43:24
  Foothills. Those areas like Nero my school,
• 43:27
  where and stuff. There's really no about
• 43:30
  beautiful nature around it. I just loved it, loved it.
• 43:35
  Anyway, I would often go to London, you know, places like
• 43:40
  Camden Trafalgar Square, Leicester, Square, Camden lock.
• 43:47
  A bunch of places and this was a time in the 2000s, mid-2000s or
• 43:53
  whatever, where there was a big divide kind of between people
• 43:59
  that were into like mainstream stuff and then people that were
• 44:01
  into like rock and metal because these days everyone's kind of
• 44:04
  into everything. So I mean you do get people that
• 44:07
  are like you know I'm a goth or I'm this I'm that but like most
• 44:12
  people just don't care. Whereas back then there was more
• 44:14
  of a divided like if you went to Camden Town back then.
• 44:17
  It was like, there wasn't any mainstream stuff there, or very
• 44:20
  little, it was very, you know, you'd have like loads of Market
• 44:23
  stalls with goth jeans or like grunge stuff or I don't know, it
• 44:28
  was just a different time, different vibe and I loved it.
• 44:32
  I had a lot of fun. I was into like, you know,
• 44:36
  skateboarding, so I'd often go skateboarding around various
• 44:39
  places in London. Like, there's this place called
• 44:41
  Basics T6, which is like a skate park underneath a bridge.
• 44:47
  In lab book Grove and it's one of the best skate parts of urban
• 44:52
  to. It's like all wooden like really
• 44:55
  nice. It's got a massive vert ramp at
• 44:57
  the back which is a lot of fun to go into like a professional
• 45:00
  one as well. And yeah, you know I was just I
• 45:04
  was happy kind of go. Lucky teenager.
• 45:06
  You know I would I was into music, I wrote music all the
• 45:10
  time you know, with my bands that I was in and stuff and I
• 45:14
  made the most of my teenage years so growing up in Then was
• 45:17
  kind of an odd, an ideal place for that because it has a bit of
• 45:20
  everything and I know a shit on London because like, you know,
• 45:23
  I'm not a fan of living there. But that's because as I became
• 45:26
  an adult, it changed. So obviously when you're a
• 45:30
  teenager you don't have responsibilities, you know,
• 45:33
  London as expensive. Yeah.
• 45:35
  And this is the thing, it got more and more and more
• 45:38
  expensive. So, like, even when I was a
• 45:40
  teen, it was okay, it wasn't like super cheap but it was like
• 45:45
  reasonable whereas These days I mean it's astronomical and when
• 45:51
  were talking about things like house prices or even just
• 45:54
  renting, their travel is a big one.
• 45:59
  These things just put me off and I worked there as an adult for
• 46:02
  many years and I was just put off by it.
• 46:05
  I just there was nothing there that really allowed me to it.
• 46:09
  There are beautiful parts of London and interesting
• 46:12
  architecture and there's lots to do but I feel like I don't have
• 46:15
  a lot of people that agree with me on this that London is a
• 46:17
  great place to visit but it's not a great place to live
• 46:21
  necessarily. And like if you if you want to
• 46:23
  have a good quality of life, there you need to be earning
• 46:26
  like a really highly paid salary to cover the costs of
• 46:30
  everything. Like, you could have a good life
• 46:31
  in London but you need to like work your ass off to get if you
• 46:35
  know what I mean and that's the trickier part like for me it's
• 46:39
  not that. I don't want to work hard
• 46:40
  because I work hard with everything that I do.
• 46:43
  But I don't want to like You know, pay my full salary and
• 46:47
  have nothing left and not be able to eat or whatever or did
• 46:52
  enemy like have very little every month and because I just,
• 46:56
  I want to have fun. I want to go out and do things.
• 46:58
  Explore, have holidays, whatever, like I want to live
• 47:03
  life, have fun, you know? I mean, I don't want to just
• 47:07
  watch the expression work to live in and I mean, like, I
• 47:10
  wanna yeah, like, Yeah, and I don't think that work
• 47:13
  necessarily has to be that Like that either.
• 47:15
  You know it does depend on the position career that you go for
• 47:20
  or whatever you know because people.
• 47:23
  How dare you join yawn when I'm speaking.
• 47:30
  It's it's me. I don't get it.
• 47:34
  Oh no. I was schooled grew up in but I
• 47:43
  think I think it has its I think It suffers from Big C syndrome.
• 47:49
  If that makes sense because everyone I speak to that talks
• 47:52
  about like living in Moscow or living in say New York, when
• 47:57
  they talk about it, it sounds exactly the same to my
• 48:00
  experiences in London and I think that's just the nature of
• 48:03
  living in a big city for some people.
• 48:06
  It's the greatest thing ever and I get it.
• 48:08
  Like, if you grew up in a small town somewhere and you know,
• 48:11
  there wasn't much going on, it can be very frustrating.
• 48:14
  So I first and why it's like really fun to live in a big city
• 48:17
  for me. I like to have a thing.
• 48:20
  This is the people who live in the center of like a place.
• 48:24
  Like, man had. Yeah, most of those people are
• 48:26
  like, either judges, what is or high-ranking government.
• 48:31
  People. For example, a lawyer can go
• 48:35
  from one place in Manhattan where they work to their home.
• 48:40
  Like, three, four, five blocks away, go up into their massive,
• 48:45
  Freaking 50th floor, Penthouse and just be chill because they
• 48:50
  know that, however, much they make their living space is only
• 48:54
  like, what the 24th of what they are.
• 48:57
  Yeah, I mean, II think that like generally when it when it comes
• 49:02
  to where you want to live a particular time, I think it
• 49:06
  depends where you are at your point at that point in life, you
• 49:09
  know, like I grew up in London. Anyone that grows up anywhere,
• 49:13
  you know, you kind of get sick of the place that You were
• 49:15
  boning because you want to see something different?
• 49:17
  Jen. I mean, so that's that's a big
• 49:19
  thing and I always had this bug. Travel bug wanted to explore see
• 49:23
  other cultures or that stuff. And then, you know, I lived in
• 49:26
  places like Estonia where it was very small by comparison.
• 49:32
  Like I was able to see like the whole country within a couple of
• 49:36
  years and talyn the city, the, the main city, the capital is
• 49:41
  very small so it's not to say that it gets boring, but it's
• 49:46
  like, There's a lot less going on, right?
• 49:50
  I agree because where I live in balls.
• 49:53
  Hmm, don't get me wrong. I love it.
• 49:56
  I love the people. I love the architecture.
• 49:59
  I love literally everything about.
• 50:02
  It is a big supermarket in the middle.
• 50:05
  The smaller shop sort of around the outside and along the main
• 50:09
  road. Hundreds of shops.
• 50:12
  I mean the hundreds, but you know what?
• 50:13
  I mean, there's it's a big Main Street.
• 50:16
  There's Market Days on Tuesday, where all of the Germans,
• 50:19
  everybody from the town's closed and the on the Dutch side come
• 50:25
  in the vows to do their shopping.
• 50:27
  Buying brilliant. Lovely, wonderful.
• 50:30
  But I mean this this barely any police here.
• 50:35
  The closest police station is halfway down the friggin Road.
• 50:39
  There's nothing. There's nothing.
• 50:42
  I mean, bowels is home to the trail and the punt, which is the
• 50:45
  highest point in vowels? Oh, so it's a very touristy
• 50:50
  Place. Mmm, which means you get a lot
• 50:52
  of belgians. You get a lot of Germans, and
• 50:54
  obviously you've got a lot of Dutch people, but I want to
• 50:58
  travel as well. Yeah.
• 51:00
  Like, but it's not, it's not hard to do that because of the
• 51:04
  Netherlands is a pretty small place.
• 51:06
  My advice to you because this is what I've done is to just
• 51:09
  experience as many different Places and live in them as
• 51:15
  possible because like, I've lived on like farms for
• 51:18
  instance, I've lived in the back ass fucking nowhere, where
• 51:22
  nothing's going on. I've lived in places where, like
• 51:25
  shits going on all the time, you know, good places, bad places
• 51:28
  everywhere. And what I would say is it,
• 51:31
  doing that helps you to understand what you need and
• 51:37
  when you need it kind of thing, right?
• 51:39
  So here's a quick example, right?
• 51:41
  When I was When I went on a holiday with an ex-girlfriend,
• 51:43
  or I think I was 19, actually, whatever it was, like a holiday.
• 51:48
  Getaway kind of thing is really sweet.
• 51:50
  And we went to a place called Devon, right?
• 51:54
  And if you haven't been to Devon, it's fantastic greatest
• 51:59
  of custard. Of course.
• 52:01
  Yeah. No.
• 52:03
  But they had to have really good quality things that are made
• 52:07
  fresh lie. There like things like ice cream
• 52:08
  and stuff and it's by the Sea. It's got all this amazing.
• 52:11
  Using like history and culture and stuff, but if you're a young
• 52:17
  person, it's not good. It's just, you know, it's for
• 52:22
  old people people retiring for people that want to get away
• 52:25
  from City Life or something. And I genuinely remember
• 52:29
  thinking this is brilliant, but it's like wrong time.
• 52:32
  If I came back here when I was like 50 or 60, perfect right
• 52:36
  now? No, I want to do shit with my
• 52:38
  life. I want to go places, see the
• 52:40
  world and I kind of I remember thinking like it's cool that I
• 52:43
  can think that way at that age, that appreciate it for what it
• 52:47
  is. But know that it's just
• 52:49
  something to return to as opposed to like being like oh
• 52:53
  this sucks, you know, because I think everyone in life, you go
• 52:57
  through waves you like okay I want to live in a big city for a
• 53:00
  while. Okay.
• 53:00
  Now I want to travel for a while.
• 53:02
  Okay? Now I want to focus on my career
• 53:04
  so you know I'm going to live in the city, you do this or
• 53:06
  whatever. Like for me I'm in a position
• 53:09
  where I just wanted to go back to the UK, I missed the UK, but
• 53:14
  I didn't want to go to London for the reasons I explained
• 53:17
  before. And I also kind of thought about
• 53:20
  the fact that like, I want to live somewhere where stuff is
• 53:24
  going on, but I have access to like travel around and see
• 53:29
  culture and like rural stuff as well Countryside, stuff like
• 53:33
  that. I just kind of want to have a
• 53:36
  bit of both, you know? And I don't want it to be like,
• 53:40
  too, insane. Like Manchester is kind of Ideal
• 53:42
  in that sense because it's a big city.
• 53:44
  It's it Rivals London in many ways but it's not, it's not like
• 53:50
  it doesn't have the capacity that London has And that's kind
• 53:53
  of a big draw for me. It's like, I want to be
• 53:55
  somewhere where stuff is going on, but I can also escape from
• 53:58
  things as well and I think the other there's a lot of
• 54:00
  Industries in Manchester as well because right, there's there's
• 54:04
  the Salford Keys. We do is actually now I think
• 54:08
  there's a BBC Center there. I'm like BBC ITV, all that stuff
• 54:12
  is based there. They film Coronation Street
• 54:14
  there as well. Yeah, there's that.
• 54:16
  And then there's Manchester where there's all of these,
• 54:19
  these offices and shops and things like that.
• 54:22
  A lot of history behind Manchester and the sense that
• 54:25
  the Salford Keys used to be where a lot of stuff came in
• 54:28
  from other countries. And that's the one thing I did
• 54:32
  listen to in geography because in Manchester is very
• 54:35
  interesting. I'm just as I live actually, I
• 54:39
  could probably shake hands with the UK in the sense that I've
• 54:42
  been to enough places. Mmm.
• 54:44
  But they were have say, I've had my fill of England and Scotland
• 54:48
  and things like that. I've been there.
• 54:50
  I've been reading bourbon at your cabin, the Scarborough up
• 54:52
  in a try. I've been to places that I
• 54:55
  didn't even know existed. Yeah, I forgot the name of it.
• 54:59
  Begins with an A and it's like a Up a lot of like hell's.
• 55:04
  So it's a very it's very high in the air.
• 55:08
  It's very high above sea level and it's like just to just a
• 55:13
  small town it's just got like a hotel in it and some actually
• 55:17
  don't even think there's many shops.
• 55:20
  And then that's just sort of it. And then it just goes back down
• 55:23
  the hill to more pills. But yeah, I mean, where I live
• 55:29
  is very rural. Looking at my window, I can see
• 55:33
  a crap ton of trees, and I can see sheep and cows and along
• 55:38
  Country Road and a farm. And More stuff.
• 55:42
  And if I look out over that way, there's the sort of town city
• 55:45
  things like that. And then cool going that way
• 55:49
  would lead you towards in the Netherlands more and a lot of
• 55:53
  mirrors and must raked over that way.
• 55:56
  I'll lead you with the Germany that's about it.
• 55:59
  There's no oil cities really close by here.
• 56:03
  Closest would probably be my strict or healer or lunch craft
• 56:08
  which is a 20 minutes away from me.
• 56:11
  I think it's everything has a time limit for in terms of like
• 56:15
  how long a person should be in a place, but everyone is
• 56:17
  different. You know I've met some people in
• 56:19
  life who are so perfectly content just staying in like you
• 56:22
  know, their Hometown for instance and I don't understand
• 56:25
  it personally but I can appreciate it.
• 56:28
  You know me I think that you love what you love and if you
• 56:31
  are happy then just just roll with it and it but like I think
• 56:35
  it is good roll with it and yeah, but like I think it is
• 56:39
  important to experience. Other things because if nothing
• 56:42
  else, even if you don't discover that, you know there's something
• 56:46
  out there that's different for you.
• 56:48
  That's better by comparison it at least makes you appreciate
• 56:51
  like what you do have back home, kind of thing, you know, like me
• 56:54
  when I lived abroad, there was a lot that I missed about the UK.
• 56:58
  And so when I did return I kind of it was a good feeling, you
• 57:04
  know, I mean, after all that time to kind of have that stuff
• 57:07
  again and I count myself very grateful that I've had that
• 57:12
  experience in another country and you know that can never be
• 57:15
  taken away and it's a really cool feeling but one thing I
• 57:20
  will never work involves never it why what's wrong?
• 57:24
  I will never work in my hometown because it's so small that
• 57:29
  there's nothing really here. Work at mean, for example, I
• 57:33
  want to be an engineer or something to do with all the
• 57:36
  mechanics. So I'm going to try and find a
• 57:38
  job in master Exile. Hello, where it's 20 30 minutes
• 57:42
  away. So I actually travel to work
• 57:46
  rather than just getting in the car driving five minutes down in
• 57:50
  a town and then just talk in the car and going to work and then
• 57:54
  driving all the way back up the hill again and coming to a good
• 57:57
  point. Actually I do think it's
• 57:59
  important that a person's work is Because this is one of the
• 58:02
  things I want to do with my life as well.
• 58:04
  I want to travel, like, I want to be based in the UK and have a
• 58:08
  home. That's kind of.
• 58:09
  My dream is to have a home, a base somewhere that I can be,
• 58:12
  like, this is home kind of thing, but then I spend all my
• 58:15
  time, exploring the world, you know, I don't know, acting
• 58:19
  music, whatever, wherever life takes me kind of thing, and I
• 58:24
  want that contrast. I think it's very important
• 58:27
  because that makes you appreciate home more like, if
• 58:29
  you do everything in your hometown, You can get sick of it
• 58:33
  and like, home shouldn't be, that home.
• 58:35
  Should be like, a sanctuary. Something that you and her knee.
• 58:38
  I'm happy that. I mean, I feel sorry for the
• 58:41
  people in my school who live in Maastricht, as well as go to
• 58:45
  school. There.
• 58:46
  For me when I get into Maastricht, I'm like right
• 58:50
  school. But when I got on the bus and I
• 58:53
  come back here and avaaz, I'm like, She made the Vols the real
• 58:58
  and apparent human I'm home. Yeah I just sort of went into
• 59:03
  English that I just I just bring this is a thing.
• 59:08
  Yeah it is but I get I get into the bus station.
• 59:12
  I would side of the yeah it's called the 50 booty tooch.
• 59:15
  The do what? Sorry the three kyboot today
• 59:19
  because over here fries or chips off leeches leeches.
• 59:25
  Okay. Yeah.
• 59:26
  So it's called 50 put the fries shop.
• 59:29
  So, I got off the bus across the road.
• 59:31
  I got my bicycle, and I sort of just rides what?
• 59:35
  Well, depends on. If I want to get home fast
• 59:37
  enough, if I want to go home fast, I'll just go straight up,
• 59:41
  but I like to ride through the town a little bit, and then
• 59:44
  turn, right? And then go up this nice sort of
• 59:46
  Stony Street, and then course, we're done it.
• 59:49
  It's kind of weird. How everyone is different in
• 59:52
  that way, because when I was your age, I was the same and I
• 59:54
  always have been. I love to Plural of rural stuff,
• 59:58
  I think it's really important, right?
• 59:59
  But I remember when I was at school, basically to get to
• 1:00:04
  school I could walk to school and I often did right.
• 1:00:07
  But in the beginning I would take the bus and the bus took
• 1:00:12
  about half an hour give or take pre-chilled, you know?
• 1:00:16
  I mean, but the actual walk from where I lived all the way up to
• 1:00:21
  the school was probably about an hour, maybe a bit more and it
• 1:00:26
  was, Is it involved literally walking from one town to another
• 1:00:29
  then walking all the way up a hill?
• 1:00:31
  And then going down the hill. And then basically walking into
• 1:00:35
  a forest, which is kind of crazy because sometimes it would be
• 1:00:37
  like, at like, you know, winter be like really dark.
• 1:00:41
  Can't see anything right? Walk through the fire.
• 1:00:45
  Yeah. Well, you know, I was a idiot
• 1:00:48
  teenager and it was fun and I was great.
• 1:00:53
  It was good for exercise and I liked it, it was so much better
• 1:00:55
  than having To wait around for the bus in the freezing cold or
• 1:00:59
  like, but what about, but what about those times where you like
• 1:01:02
  you you were at school and you could not be asked to go home.
• 1:01:06
  What are you doing that situation?
• 1:01:08
  I never had that oh you kidding me.
• 1:01:10
  It can't be asked to go home kissing because sometimes
• 1:01:13
  because sometimes I'm standing outside of school when I leave
• 1:01:15
  I'm like I can't be arsed to go home but I can't be.
• 1:01:19
  I mean here either I had to spit.
• 1:01:22
  I had times when I wanted to like hang out and maybe like You
• 1:01:27
  know, I knew I had like loads of work to do or something reason
• 1:01:31
  that I couldn't go, but like most most days I would either
• 1:01:34
  hang out with friends after school or I will go
• 1:01:36
  skateboarding, I'll go skateboarding, pretty much every
• 1:01:40
  single day after school plus weekends, you know, skateboard
• 1:01:44
  to, and from school. No, Asian me.
• 1:01:46
  We weren't really allowed to, but I would just do it anyway
• 1:01:49
  and get in trouble for it. Well, I think the thing is the
• 1:01:54
  thing is, is though, that's not it.
• 1:01:56
  English. Hmm, the problem, you can't take
• 1:02:01
  your bike on a bus over here because of Corona.
• 1:02:04
  Hmm. I think.
• 1:02:05
  Normally at I wish the, but I wish buses of that's why I love
• 1:02:09
  American buses. Because you walk up to a bus,
• 1:02:12
  you put your bike on the front of the rack, you strap it in,
• 1:02:14
  you get on the bus, you pay for your ticket, you go get off,
• 1:02:17
  take your bike bike, go. But what I'm thinking of doing
• 1:02:22
  depending on how long I got the school because obviously there's
• 1:02:25
  the school. To go through after this one
• 1:02:27
  which is actual College. I'm going to save up and get a
• 1:02:31
  scooter license and Scoot to school.
• 1:02:37
  Sound sensible because I mean the bus is cool and all.
• 1:02:41
  But if I can take myself to school, right?
• 1:02:47
  You know, I remember when I was at school, there was this, like
• 1:02:51
  gang, right? That would hang out.
• 1:02:54
  One more guy. Knows the German lie.
• 1:02:57
  It was a moped gang. It was a bunch of like, guys,
• 1:03:01
  that were Eva 1617 like out school age, but weren't doing
• 1:03:07
  anything with their lives. Right there were, you know,
• 1:03:10
  literally their life consisted of just driving around, on a
• 1:03:13
  moped hanging around outside the school.
• 1:03:16
  They don't go to the school. And they're too old for school
• 1:03:19
  but they're like the cool kids. I don't know edgy kids or some
• 1:03:22
  shit but they were literally just sit there trying to look
• 1:03:24
  hard and as I'm sorry, you can't look hard on a moped.
• 1:03:29
  I mean, if you rocked up, if you rocked up on a Harley-Davidson
• 1:03:33
  your and then you just stopped in your psyche so glad that I
• 1:03:39
  can see that but you got no yeah, no this does not strike
• 1:03:43
  fear, you don't go. What's up, man?
• 1:03:50
  No, that's not happening. You know, ones, make the only
• 1:03:52
  time a moped is cool. Is like classic, you know,
• 1:03:56
  Quadrophenia back in the day like that.
• 1:04:00
  That was cool. That's but yeah, a Vespa.
• 1:04:02
  Sorry. Yeah.
• 1:04:03
  That's because those a variant of the mopeds that, right?
• 1:04:07
  Or yeah. It was a make but it was like
• 1:04:11
  the cut like they like a classic red Vespa.
• 1:04:13
  Yeah. Like those are cool.
• 1:04:15
  And they were cool but like, Mopeds.
• 1:04:18
  I'm sorry. Like just in general they just
• 1:04:20
  look ugly. I don't understand the appeal.
• 1:04:23
  I mean, I get that there is this good as a handy and there's a
• 1:04:26
  lot of bicycles in the Netherlands.
• 1:04:28
  So if there's a lot of school, there's a lot of schools as well
• 1:04:31
  because scooters that are limited to 50 kilometers an
• 1:04:35
  hour, hmm, which is good as that 16 year, olds can get.
• 1:04:39
  Yeah, they have to ride on a bike paths.
• 1:04:43
  Interesting. Okay.
• 1:04:45
  On they and they have to ride on the side of the car.
• 1:04:47
  Was on the roads here. There's obviously the two lanes
• 1:04:49
  and then there's a little red section of on each side of the
• 1:04:54
  road for bicycles. It's called the feet spot like a
• 1:05:00
  bike path. So confusing, a to defeat Puff,
• 1:05:04
  the feet apart, a bicycle, is a fix, a bicycle, as a feet.
• 1:05:09
  And a motorbike is a motor fits. So fix his bike and then
• 1:05:16
  motorbike so, yeah. And then if I can go over 50
• 1:05:22
  miles an hour, like if it's a scooter with gears, then it can
• 1:05:25
  go on the Wood. But people normally don't that
• 1:05:31
  just stick to the bike paths because they can go on the bike
• 1:05:33
  paths, but they're supposed to go on the road on the side of
• 1:05:36
  the road. I don't know.
• 1:05:38
  It's weird. But yeah, I'd love to get a look
• 1:05:41
  at the script to school. They would be cool because I can
• 1:05:43
  just listen to my music. Just really look to scoot the
• 1:05:47
  school. Me scoop, as I'm just showing a
• 1:05:49
  schoolmate, I do better. Betty, Betty, Betty Davis.
• 1:05:59
  No, no coffee anyone that out of UK to have no idea what the fuck
• 1:06:04
  you're talking about. I can't even remember the name
• 1:06:08
  of that program, but I remember Frank Spencer.
• 1:06:12
  I think his name was, wasn't it Brett.
• 1:06:14
  Hey, some that snot Factory, you know, but I can't call my
• 1:06:19
  scooter Betty because I've already named my car Bessie and
• 1:06:23
  your car Bessie. Yeah, it's an old Toyota
• 1:06:26
  Corolla. It's called Bessie.
• 1:06:29
  What's the Netherlands done? T, I don't know now, but I don't
• 1:06:36
  know. It's just it's an old 1998 car.
• 1:06:39
  It needs a classic name. It's green Bessie.
• 1:06:44
  I do. I just can't ever let, you know
• 1:06:46
  people normally name this their car.
• 1:06:47
  Something cool. Like jaguar Mercedes Bessie.
• 1:06:54
  It doesn't have the same Bessie, the new 02 Reliant Ford car of
• 1:07:04
  the year. Best M, the Toyota Corolla
• 1:07:11
  otherwise known as Bessie coming this month in cinemas near you.
• 1:07:17
  Coming this October just fall from timing.
• 1:07:23
  That this is my favorite one from the makers are but that is
• 1:07:28
  when he says that from the makers of the Avengers and
• 1:07:32
  others other films, JD Salinger presents catcher on the Rye and
• 1:07:44
  other books start presenting stuff.
• 1:07:52
  But I imagine if they was like honest so like the talking about
• 1:07:55
  Tori scented directed by someone might imagine if it was just the
• 1:08:00
  guy saying his opinions, like he's the best Twilight and he's
• 1:08:03
  like Presenting badly written fanfiction Twilight imagine.
• 1:08:14
  Imagine, imagine him with a Top gay movie though.
• 1:08:16
  Coming from the creators of Top Gear.
• 1:08:20
  Obviously coming Top Gear, the movie featuring Jeremy annoying.
• 1:08:29
  Clarkson Hammond, the short person And James me the old
• 1:08:36
  bloke who people keep around, because he sarcastically funny,
• 1:08:40
  but son of a bit like you did it, Batman impatiently.
• 1:08:43
  And then with that, man, I'm Batman.
• 1:08:45
  I'm Batman Robin. What are you doing?
• 1:08:48
  Robert, it's so fun though, you can the parent you kill my
• 1:08:54
  family. I bet man.
• 1:08:59
  This would be 40 40 just just just, just this.
• 1:09:02
  Just I'm Batman for like a minute, I'm Batman.
• 1:09:08
  Yeah, it's nice to anyone missing on my Spotify or apple
• 1:09:11
  or whatever. You just here in us, just go
• 1:09:13
  back for two minutes Batman. I'm late, normally, I'm good
• 1:09:18
  with character Impressions. If I know they, I'm good with,
• 1:09:22
  I'm good with accents. I know that much, I'm really
• 1:09:26
  good with that. Adds up an experiment a lot with
• 1:09:29
  them recently, Ike, i quite enjoy them.
• 1:09:31
  I like them on. Someone asked me yesterday to do
• 1:09:34
  with Indian and personal said, no, because I'll end up being
• 1:09:35
  racist or something like Ireland.
• 1:09:38
  I can do England, Scotland, I can do potatoes, bottom has
• 1:09:45
  become an assumed you made potato farmer.
• 1:09:48
  Dan farmer did fire. Hey, here's your racist now,
• 1:09:52
  father. That's what I want.
• 1:09:57
  The loud one. Whatwhat's.
• 1:10:00
  The church's opinion on. This is the man.
• 1:10:03
  Then why did you know about this?
• 1:10:07
  I didn't know about this. This is something you're talking
• 1:10:10
  about. You just do what you're talking
• 1:10:12
  about. I don't know what you're talking
• 1:10:14
  about, no idea, Scotland, Scottish Scottish man.
• 1:10:20
  Hey Amos and I do fucking right lad.
• 1:10:26
  Pretty much and when people talk like his Germans, they talk like
• 1:10:30
  this every single time. Mmm.
• 1:10:34
  And then the Netherlands, people talk like this, you know, you we
• 1:10:37
  going to do this and we go to do that.
• 1:10:39
  We don't ask you questions. I just say we go.
• 1:10:43
  We go to the far as far as that but it's.
• 1:10:45
  Yes, think it's. I love this Ronnie Flex milk
• 1:10:52
  line thing even though it's like five years old, I just love
• 1:10:56
  their music. It's really good.
• 1:10:58
  I was that that is that that song that you asked me to?
• 1:11:03
  Got some other good ones. They did a song called 123 as
• 1:11:06
  well, which is like the same song, kind of.
• 1:11:09
  But like a different variant. It's cool.
• 1:11:11
  It's yeah. Do you remember anything about
• 1:11:14
  the song that you practiced or did you forget it all?
• 1:11:22
  I can barely remember it. No, I think you sent me.
• 1:11:25
  I think you sent me a video and I said, yeah, I send you a kiss.
• 1:11:30
  I've got it. I've got it here.
• 1:11:31
  If you want to be embarrassed, go on then.
• 1:11:35
  Okay, we're actually going to do this.
• 1:11:37
  I don't know how we're gonna do this because it's going to sound
• 1:11:42
  awful. I just want to say I want to see
• 1:11:45
  if I can do it again. Let me see if I can hear it.
• 1:11:49
  It's gonna gonna like like Inception and then a little bit
• 1:11:54
  of that song that we need to learn that it gets way harder.
• 1:12:16
  as it is. German time in the weekend and
• 1:12:22
  Roots. I remember it as a big honkin
• 1:12:29
  drinks as a base for your chin in Via cheering Richard that
• 1:12:35
  just means as a bitch will chill.
• 1:12:37
  Will though as a pitch feel chilly.
• 1:12:39
  Need to worry about by problem down here keep him.
• 1:12:43
  He calmly down him down. He can't dunk it looks he waits
• 1:12:47
  a second set up slower. I'm To try and translate that as
• 1:12:50
  a bitch field chilling. It rape problem.
• 1:12:55
  Don honking hair needs. Call me, darling, Don he get
• 1:13:05
  drunk. It looks he get that out and it
• 1:13:09
  looks something like that. Is it if a bitch wants to show,
• 1:13:14
  that's no problem, something like about not coming alone and
• 1:13:20
  then having and then having alcohol and drugs and the so
• 1:13:24
  basically. So basically every rapper ever
• 1:13:27
  every rap song ever, I've got weed.
• 1:13:31
  Weed. Weed cocaine?
• 1:13:32
  Yes. Yes, drugs.
• 1:13:34
  Yeah, every do I should, I should, I should change that
• 1:13:36
  every rap song, sort of Circa, 2000 onwards, because before it
• 1:13:44
  was not know. I like rap music.
• 1:13:45
  I like it. But it's you have to really dig
• 1:13:48
  deep to find like, you know, meaningful wrap these days.
• 1:13:52
  So a lot of it is just people rapping about, I don't know why,
• 1:13:55
  but I can listen to be rich the Box a lot I got no idea who
• 1:14:01
  you're talking about. Well, not the group that the lat
• 1:14:04
  selling fucked up Fox, what buzzing that, the bells of the
• 1:14:06
  box? I mean, it's like, you're
• 1:14:08
  speaking Japanese to me, I'd no idea Japanese.
• 1:14:14
  I think I'm turning Japanese. Thank you, kokoro.
• 1:14:33
  I like that. We're in the same mood today.
• 1:14:34
  This, this makes this even more fun, but with that kind of like,
• 1:14:38
  light playful mood. So it's like it works, nicely
• 1:14:41
  just I'm doing the test on the sofa.
• 1:14:46
  So what so, what more do you have for me in the questions?
• 1:14:50
  Mainly enough. That was only.
• 1:14:52
  Yeah, that's only three of about what 1012.
• 1:14:59
  Oh, damn. Okay, let's keep going.
• 1:15:02
  We've been doing this for like two hours now.
• 1:15:05
  No, we have no Ari. Yeah, it's it's, it's 2:40 over
• 1:15:11
  here. What does he go?
• 1:15:13
  Let's see what you got. Okay, but what made you want to
• 1:15:17
  become a content creator and why, and when did you make your
• 1:15:21
  first YouTube video? Oh, I'll start with the second
• 1:15:26
  question first. YouTube video.
• 1:15:32
  Actually was like 2007/2008 like really back in the day because
• 1:15:38
  when, when I started doing YouTube properly was like 2013
• 1:15:44
  but before then, you know, everyone had a YouTube account
• 1:15:47
  and would just like, mess around with it because like you
• 1:15:50
  couldn't earn money back. Then it was just the weirdest
• 1:15:52
  novelty thing, right? And I would post like skating
• 1:15:56
  videos on there and there's me at the local park that I went to
• 1:16:00
  and stuff. And I just didn't really think
• 1:16:03
  anything of it. The only thing I was got it
• 1:16:04
  about is that I never got those clips.
• 1:16:06
  I would have liked to have kept those clips because there's
• 1:16:08
  loads and loads of videos of me skiing.
• 1:16:11
  But if you could have made it like a montage.
• 1:16:13
  Yeah, exactly. I have photos of me skating.
• 1:16:16
  So that's something. But yeah, I would have liked to
• 1:16:19
  have had that. But yeah, anyway, fast forward
• 1:16:21
  to 2013, I saw the situation with what's going on line, I
• 1:16:26
  thought. Oh, that be cool.
• 1:16:27
  Maybe I'll try that. So I started an account.
• 1:16:30
  It was December. 13 and I started doing a mixture of music
• 1:16:37
  and those videos are still there.
• 1:16:39
  I stand by the music was still good.
• 1:16:41
  Like, you know, it might not have been the best ever, but I
• 1:16:44
  still proud of it. But I had videos on there that
• 1:16:47
  were not music that were like I suppose listicles or like trying
• 1:16:54
  to kind of copy what was everyone else was doing and it
• 1:16:58
  was really cringe. Like, I think I had one like
• 1:17:02
  something to do with like hair, start, bad hairstyles, or some
• 1:17:05
  shit. And it was so cringe.
• 1:17:06
  Like I basically faked my presentation start had to be
• 1:17:11
  like whatever YouTuber was doing and still does in some cases,
• 1:17:16
  and it's cringe. And I know it was and I deleted
• 1:17:19
  it and I kept the Videos. But I didn't really pursue it
• 1:17:22
  because back then I didn't have confidence in myself in my
• 1:17:26
  abilities and I just felt like I had no good ideas and I thought
• 1:17:30
  like, well if I ever do YouTube, I want to come back to it when I
• 1:17:34
  have some good quality ideas. And so I kind of, you know I
• 1:17:39
  would upload a video here and there but I just didn't really
• 1:17:42
  ever take it seriously. And then when I got to
• 1:17:43
  University, I started to like Get sort of experimental music.
• 1:17:50
  What? Because I have like these shifts
• 1:17:52
  it with music, it's always been like, I'll be in a band for a
• 1:17:54
  couple of years. I'll do some solo stuff, then I
• 1:17:56
  won't do anything for a while, then I'll come back to it, you
• 1:17:58
  know. It's that's what it's like for
• 1:18:00
  me and music. I've always been doing stuff in
• 1:18:02
  my life, that music has always been there.
• 1:18:04
  And so when I was at Uni, I had a point where, you know, I was
• 1:18:08
  in a couple of bands, I was experimenting playing a lot.
• 1:18:11
  So I recorded a bunch of videos and I thought, oh, maybe this
• 1:18:14
  would be my chance to, you know, make a YouTube.
• 1:18:17
  Black, make it proper. And again, same thing happened.
• 1:18:20
  But it was different this time because I actually genuinely had
• 1:18:23
  no time. I the further I got into my
• 1:18:25
  degree, the less act time, I had, and I was just working, an
• 1:18:30
  insane amount both in my job and the degree itself.
• 1:18:36
  So I just didn't have time for music.
• 1:18:37
  And then when I've graduated and moved to Estonia, Same thing.
• 1:18:43
  I just had a lot going on in my life and when it came to 2019, I
• 1:18:49
  suddenly had a lot more time. I started doing acting.
• 1:18:52
  So was the beginning of 2019 and I uploaded those videos on there
• 1:18:56
  thinking like and they got a couple of used.
• 1:18:58
  They did well and I was like, hmm.
• 1:19:00
  Okay, maybe I'm going to do YouTube properly.
• 1:19:04
  Now I'm going to start vlogging and go to start trying different
• 1:19:06
  things. So I just started testing the
• 1:19:08
  waters and seeing what was what? And I just discovered that I
• 1:19:11
  really You to creating content and I kind of always get a buzz
• 1:19:16
  every time I particularly now, if I have like an idea for a
• 1:19:21
  video or a topic for the podcast or whatever, like I get really
• 1:19:25
  excited, I film it and then I prepare it and I just love that
• 1:19:28
  feeling, you know? I mean it's exciting.
• 1:19:31
  Yeah. I mean I think the I did a prank
• 1:19:36
  video on my dad. And I think that recently
• 1:19:41
  surpassed 100 views. Oh, congrats.
• 1:19:44
  So, I kinda want to make another one, but I don't know what to
• 1:19:50
  do. Look at all cuz I mean, I did.
• 1:19:53
  I ignored my dad for the best in the entire ride back from the
• 1:19:58
  doctors to home, but nothing really I would say don't ever
• 1:20:06
  force it. Like if you don't have any ready
• 1:20:09
  ideas like nothing's coming to you naturally, then I think it's
• 1:20:13
  worth kind of just looking at the community seeing what's
• 1:20:15
  popular and not necessarily copying just thinking like is
• 1:20:19
  this something that would work for my channel?
• 1:20:21
  If I Replicate this, you know, get pregnant obvious hole.
• 1:20:25
  Yeah, I give credit to whoever you're taking the idea from, but
• 1:20:28
  like ultimately give it a go. Like, for example, I did a
• 1:20:31
  video, you know, there was a YouTuber British YouTuber called
• 1:20:36
  Charlie is so cool like many years ago and he recently in the
• 1:20:40
  last couple of years. He decided to move away from
• 1:20:42
  YouTube and focus on his film career.
• 1:20:46
  And he did a really good videos back in the day that Vlog videos
• 1:20:51
  and some of Them were just like really cool ideas like you did
• 1:20:53
  10 years ago, like, 26 things I've learned at the age of 26 so
• 1:20:58
  I did the same video but 27 things, I've learned at 27 and I
• 1:21:02
  gave homage to him. I said, hey yeah, you know thank
• 1:21:05
  you for this idea but then it turned into my own thing because
• 1:21:09
  his was a short video of like six or seven minutes fun little
• 1:21:13
  quips mine was like an hour-long thing where I'm talking in depth
• 1:21:17
  about all these things, I've learned.
• 1:21:19
  So it kind of that was my Akon. That it was different.
• 1:21:23
  It was my style because I talked at length and that's how I kind
• 1:21:26
  of do my stuff. And there's a lot of people that
• 1:21:28
  say, oh, you know, I don't like watching longer videos, but
• 1:21:31
  there's an audience of people that liked it.
• 1:21:32
  So I always just create what I like, and if I'm happy with it,
• 1:21:37
  I'll put it out there. And I always recommend that to
• 1:21:40
  anyone who's like, struggling for ideas.
• 1:21:42
  It's like, don't worry. Like just try and replicate
• 1:21:45
  other things and like, eventually ideas are going to
• 1:21:47
  come. Anyway, like that's just the
• 1:21:49
  nature of it. You know.
• 1:21:50
  I got have weeks where I have No ideas and I don't do anything
• 1:21:53
  and then I'll have a week like this week where I have loads and
• 1:21:56
  loads of ideas and I'm struggling to write them down
• 1:21:59
  and like shit I have to do all of this.
• 1:22:00
  I have to find time to get through all of these ideas but I
• 1:22:04
  think it's like everyone's creative process works
• 1:22:08
  differently but I think the worst thing you can ever do is
• 1:22:11
  like panic and go, oh shit. I haven't come up with anything.
• 1:22:14
  I need to just put some stuff out because that's when like
• 1:22:16
  shit stuff is created because it's like, you're just
• 1:22:19
  panicking, you're not focusing on the content.
• 1:22:21
  Quality. You're focusing on like I need
• 1:22:23
  to get something out there but yeah, I don't know.
• 1:22:27
  I mean sometimes is good as well like if you're pushed to produce
• 1:22:30
  something as well, sometimes you can discover something that's
• 1:22:34
  left field that you never thought you would do.
• 1:22:37
  And then, you know, that's something different, you know,
• 1:22:39
  like I did for me, for example, I kind of discovered that with
• 1:22:45
  maybe with herb Xing, you know, I never thought I would do a
• 1:22:47
  Beck's, I always thought abandoned, buildings were cool
• 1:22:51
  but But the concept of exploring them and then filming that
• 1:22:54
  experience was new to me and then I saw YouTubers doing it.
• 1:22:57
  And I are cool. Maybe I'll do that.
• 1:22:59
  If I ever get the opportunity and then the opportunity came
• 1:23:02
  when I was in Estonia and I wasn't actually actively looking
• 1:23:05
  to do that. I just happen to know a guy who
• 1:23:07
  does it. I was like, well fuck it, I'll
• 1:23:08
  film this, and put it on my YouTube then.
• 1:23:10
  So sometimes these things like they don't happen necessarily
• 1:23:13
  because you've like plan them out.
• 1:23:15
  They just happen because of circumstances in life and
• 1:23:18
  obviously like you could appreciate this being a content
• 1:23:20
  creator, like You're looking at your own life.
• 1:23:22
  You're always thinking like what's interesting what would my
• 1:23:25
  audience want to know about? And sometimes you've just gotta
• 1:23:28
  take a risk, put something out there, see what people think,
• 1:23:32
  other times, you kind of just know what to put out.
• 1:23:35
  You just have a feeling so I don't know.
• 1:23:37
  Like, for me, it's taken some time.
• 1:23:39
  I think when I first started YouTube, it's like everyone
• 1:23:41
  else. I kind of sat there thinking
• 1:23:43
  like this is all trash. This is cringe, this is
• 1:23:46
  terrible. Whereas now like I have zero
• 1:23:49
  fear in front of the camera, I'll see.
• 1:23:51
  It and talk forever and I'll know what I'm going to say.
• 1:23:55
  I'll know if I'm talking too long going on a tangent, I know
• 1:23:58
  when to bring it back that's something I had to learn
• 1:24:01
  recently actually, as well as you know, if I'm going off topic
• 1:24:04
  and it's particularly important if I'm doing an interview or
• 1:24:07
  something like this, you know you have to bring it back to the
• 1:24:10
  point and you can't go too far off base because that leads to
• 1:24:13
  the thing where you forget things, all at you, leave things
• 1:24:16
  on answered or whatever. So I try to move we need to make
• 1:24:20
  this a part two. Because I have a lot of
• 1:24:23
  questions and obviously when we get talking for example it's
• 1:24:28
  basically been two hours right now.
• 1:24:30
  Damn I think maybe even a bit longer and we're not even past
• 1:24:34
  the first goddamn section. So that's my fault.
• 1:24:38
  I know that know we that was the end of the last section so maybe
• 1:24:42
  we need to do this again with the other two sections.
• 1:24:47
  Three sections because I feel like we could turn like, our
• 1:24:56
  podcasts like, we're we're together.
• 1:25:00
  Yeah, and it was small miniseries.
• 1:25:04
  I said, ha same, passions, part, two of the questions.
• 1:25:06
  Part, 3 of the question, I'll say this, I was thinking about
• 1:25:10
  this before we headed into this podcast, like, because I was
• 1:25:13
  looking at hashtags, right? I love hashtags when it's like
• 1:25:17
  ask It's asked that and I thought it would be cool to
• 1:25:19
  start up a thing where it's like, ask Christian and like,
• 1:25:23
  that could be as you said like that.
• 1:25:25
  It's still part of the podcast series but it's an episode of
• 1:25:28
  ask Christian with Christian a Dutch, a Dutch still special.
• 1:25:33
  Well yeah, maybe I mean that's kind of the idea I have as its
• 1:25:38
  the working title for this episode because obviously it's
• 1:25:41
  not a standard one where I'm interviewing new we're not
• 1:25:44
  going. We I mean we have discussed like
• 1:25:46
  we normally do but But it's been a lot about me obviously, and we
• 1:25:50
  knew that going in. It wasn't like a, you know, I
• 1:25:52
  just turned into this. But you know, as a concept, I
• 1:25:55
  think if people like it, if we put it out and people like it
• 1:25:58
  will do more. If people are interested, we
• 1:26:02
  won't do more simple as that. Just just to put this into
• 1:26:05
  perspective, this is all the questions.
• 1:26:09
  All right, this is the Fault. This is a full eight ball.
• 1:26:12
  We're up to here. Damn, work to there.
• 1:26:17
  Makes me feel so bad. I feel like I talk too much.
• 1:26:20
  No, no, it's just us. We we click so, if you want to
• 1:26:24
  see more of this, if you want to see me asking more of the
• 1:26:27
  questions, just drop a like and let us know that we that you
• 1:26:31
  want to see it because it's start hashtag with it because I
• 1:26:33
  think that's important. So what should we Clash hug?
• 1:26:35
  Ask Christian, Okay, cool. So that will that will be what
• 1:26:39
  we post after this when this is released.
• 1:26:42
  And for few all future episodes where we do it, ask Christian
• 1:26:46
  I'll be me and done. Touch and we'll have the
• 1:26:48
  questions and hopefully we'll actually get stuff sent in and
• 1:26:52
  you can ask me the question still.
• 1:26:54
  I think I think I am and the person who's returned the most I
• 1:27:00
  think This is my third time, you're tired.
• 1:27:05
  So you're tied with my friend, Calamity Hatcher, three apiece,
• 1:27:11
  so someone else who's had three times Steals.
• 1:27:15
  He's been on twice. However, this is the Dutch still
• 1:27:19
  special. So we have we have an actual
• 1:27:22
  segment. So there's a segment, is the
• 1:27:25
  podcast and then there's the podcast specials where I ask
• 1:27:30
  Christian. I am the I only ask Christian
• 1:27:33
  host so I am buying. I dig that.
• 1:27:36
  I think that I'm caught I'm co-host of this.
• 1:27:39
  The City Podcast just eject. You're jumping ahead.
• 1:27:42
  Man, you're getting, you're getting A confident that you
• 1:27:48
  didn't present this once I did. He did.
• 1:27:50
  Thank you so much. By the way, for that, I really
• 1:27:52
  appreciate. I know, it's fine.
• 1:27:54
  I'm always happy to appear on the CPR, CPR, the icrp.
• 1:28:00
  See CPR. I'm dying CRP.
• 1:28:04
  See, on crew, I wrote something on my son.
• 1:28:07
  Stop trying to make CRP a thing still trying to get co-op.
• 1:28:10
  He's not gonna be a thing. Still trying to make it a thing.
• 1:28:14
  I wrote something on a little black ball that we haven't
• 1:28:17
  Hannah. Why should I go and take a photo
• 1:28:21
  of it and then come back. Come back, nice, fun.
• 1:28:23
  You can send it to a softer. I don't know how to do this.
• 1:28:28
  It's because my original plan was to sit at the dining table
• 1:28:33
  in there, okay? But we had a messy dinner last
• 1:28:36
  night. So yeah, so I did.
• 1:28:40
  So I'm sort of steering. Clear, the kitchen.
• 1:28:42
  Okay. and I wrote something on the Blackboard, I think it was
• 1:28:51
  You want to have a quick look go on then.
• 1:28:55
  I'm gonna, he's gonna keep this ocupada.
• 1:28:58
  All right, so yeah. Alright, so well, that was
• 1:29:01
  quick. Okay, as expected, it says,
• 1:29:06
  welcome to the Christian re podcast number 30 and then I 30
• 1:29:10
  with an exclamation mark and that was supposed to be behind
• 1:29:13
  me, that's really sweet. Now, you have the the naughty
• 1:29:18
  shelf so called because it's very dangerous to walk into or
• 1:29:22
  hit your head off, doesn't it kind of dangerous actually.
• 1:29:25
  Particularly that mirror with the jagged edges that it's okay.
• 1:29:29
  If it would forward a particular angle, just slice you to fuck
• 1:29:32
  up. Remember when the, when the, how
• 1:29:39
  careful? Careful, I remember when the
• 1:29:44
  sofa was a bit more back, which is why we moved it Forward.
• 1:29:47
  Yeah. I went, I went to sit back and I
• 1:29:50
  just smashed my head off the corner.
• 1:29:53
  That's a glass Shelf. Oh yeah, I had to go to bed.
• 1:30:00
  I killed myself. You should have heard the barn.
• 1:30:07
  It was like a hmm. Wow, but when bong it was it was
• 1:30:15
  it wasn't fun and have another injury.
• 1:30:17
  I was messing about with the dog and she head-butted me in the
• 1:30:20
  lip. And I I can I can feel the cook.
• 1:30:27
  Hmm. What's really dangerous is the
• 1:30:29
  fact this is a glass of orange juice on the table drinking.
• 1:30:32
  That would be pretty much suicide.
• 1:30:34
  So was a you allergic? No, no, orange juice on a cut.
• 1:30:39
  Oh, right, yeah, yeah. Of course, of course, that would
• 1:30:43
  be mouth suicide, rather. All right, man.
• 1:30:49
  Well, listen, I want to say a big massive, massive.
• 1:30:52
  Thank you to dodge deals for appearing on podcast, for
• 1:30:56
  interviewing me. And making this extra special
• 1:30:59
  ask Christian episode number 30 number 30.
• 1:31:03
  Yeah, yeah, pisode really quickly.
• 1:31:05
  I just want to reflect on that. I was not even expecting.
• 1:31:10
  This to last. If I'm honest, I thought I would
• 1:31:12
  get bored or, you know, I wouldn't make it work, it would
• 1:31:17
  be rubbish, whatever, but it seems to be that the podcast is
• 1:31:20
  being received really well. And I've had a lot of
• 1:31:23
  interesting guests on the show. By the way, I'm always looking
• 1:31:26
  for new guests so it wherever you're listening to this if you
• 1:31:31
  know someone that would like to appear on the podcast or you
• 1:31:34
  would like to appear yourself just get in touch with me.
• 1:31:36
  I would love to have you on the show and Yeah, I know.
• 1:31:40
  I mean I've had I think the biggest thing for me has been
• 1:31:45
  learning how to interview people and, you know, like just kind of
• 1:31:52
  tweaking things here and there. So like as I spoke to you before
• 1:31:56
  Dutch about, you know being able to make sure that the
• 1:31:59
  conversation is consistent and flows and is logical like little
• 1:32:03
  things like that. I think you have to learn by
• 1:32:05
  just doing like doing podcasting and it just takes practice and I
• 1:32:10
  will say that the show is is growing and changing developing
• 1:32:13
  and that's true and it will continue to change in the
• 1:32:16
  future. I have no doubt of it but I
• 1:32:19
  think if you do look at the pasta episodes you'll see that,
• 1:32:22
  you know there is development, there is a kind of a style,
• 1:32:27
  maybe I suppose, but it kind of takes time.
• 1:32:32
  And, you know, I think the key is, is like everyone wanting to
• 1:32:36
  be there and having a good time and I think we definitely have
• 1:32:39
  had a good time. Throughout all 30 episodes and
• 1:32:42
  you know, I'm always looking at ways I can change and develop it
• 1:32:46
  for the future. And like I said, I'm always open
• 1:32:48
  to ideas and topics and guests and everything.
• 1:32:51
  You know, I'm very open. So if you do have suggestions,
• 1:32:55
  if you do enjoy the show, let me know.
• 1:32:57
  I would love to know what you think and if you want a special
• 1:33:00
  segment. Yeah, I think what I think we'll
• 1:33:04
  call this ourselves podcast, we'll call this will call this
• 1:33:07
  ask ask hashtag, ask Christian with Dutch deals.
• 1:33:10
  I think that's a logical title. But, ya know, a big thank you to
• 1:33:16
  yourself for appearing again. A big.
• 1:33:17
  Thank you to everyone listening to the podcast wherever you
• 1:33:21
  subscribe to the podcast. We're always growing and going
• 1:33:23
  on to new platforms. So if I'm not already on a
• 1:33:27
