Tell me in the bio Nesco, welcome in my book.
00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:44.159
That's the most extensive intro I've ever heard.
00:00:44.320 --> 00:00:44.799
Really?
00:00:45.039 --> 00:00:46.640
Oh bro, I might have to use that.
00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:49.920
You should have seen what I what I brought down from that boom.
00:00:50.159 --> 00:00:50.799
Yeah, yeah, yeah, bro.
00:00:51.119 --> 00:00:52.719
I had yeah, I summarized that.
00:00:53.439 --> 00:00:55.039
Your yeah, bro, your Bibles like this.
00:00:55.280 --> 00:00:55.600
Oh my god.
00:00:55.679 --> 00:00:56.000
Yeah, yeah.
00:00:56.079 --> 00:00:58.000
I had something locked in, my producer sent it to me.
00:00:58.079 --> 00:01:00.560
I was like, whoa, let's let's try and yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:01.200
Wow.
00:01:01.359 --> 00:01:01.840
Yeah, man.
00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:02.640
Love it, love it.
00:01:02.799 --> 00:01:03.439
Welcome in, bro.
00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:04.239
Thanks for having me.
00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:05.359
Random.
00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:11.680
Who is your favourite video game fighting character of all time?
00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:13.760
Ah, that's a good question.
00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:17.359
Has to be in either MK or Street Fighter, but Okay.
00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:18.959
I can't even think of the names now.
00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:20.480
It's been a while since I've played those games.
00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:20.879
Okay.
00:01:21.120 --> 00:01:22.799
Um what's that?
00:01:22.879 --> 00:01:25.200
What's that one that always comes up first in MK?
00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:26.480
More combat.
00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:27.280
Sub-Zero?
00:01:27.519 --> 00:01:28.400
Sub Zero is one.
00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:28.959
Yeah.
00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:30.799
Um and then Street Fighter.
00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:32.719
Well, I'm maybe I'm confused at the games now.
00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:35.439
What's that one that's always like a white, short sleeve Ken.
00:01:35.680 --> 00:01:35.920
Ken.
00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:36.400
Right.
00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:37.120
Raiu.
00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:37.439
No.
00:01:37.519 --> 00:01:38.400
Rayu, Ryu's.
00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:39.840
Raiu's in white, Ken's in red.
00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:40.400
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:40.799
Okay, okay.
00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:41.680
Yeah, it's always that.
00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:42.239
Okay, cool.
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:44.079
But I was it I wasn't that good at that game.
00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:45.359
Well, what was your game?
00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:46.640
My game was more football.
00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:48.400
I play a lot, I've I've played a lot of FIFA.
00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:49.120
FIFA.
00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:50.959
Christ be to God.
00:01:51.359 --> 00:01:54.480
All the all the fighting game was just because everyone played it and I just bottom bash.
00:01:54.640 --> 00:01:54.959
Okay, fine.
00:01:55.040 --> 00:01:55.120
Fine.
00:01:55.359 --> 00:01:59.439
I don't I don't really know what the combinations are, but I'm always jealous of people that are like they know the combination.
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:02.159
You know when people turn the controller a certain way?
00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:03.120
Because you know you're in trouble.
00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:10.800
It's like claw grip that people use, like, and they're they are instead of instead of standing like this, they start doing it like yeah, like you know, you know it's around.
00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:11.759
You'll finish just forget.
00:02:12.159 --> 00:02:14.800
Yeah, actually, let's just yeah, pass the pad already.
00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:15.840
Okay, that's it.
00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:19.039
My memory of FIFA goes goes back to like FIFA 98.
00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:19.680
98?
00:02:19.919 --> 00:02:20.400
Yeah, like way.
00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:21.360
Wait, wait, wait.
00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:30.800
As in like the the international, like back in Brazil, England, Germany, West Germany, actually, I think it was at the time, Argentina, ATC.
00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:32.639
That that that was 94.
00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:37.840
Yeah, yeah, when it was like not over 2D, I don't even want to call it pixelated.
00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:38.800
Yeah, yeah.
00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:39.840
It still worked.
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:41.199
Wow, yeah, same, same.
00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:42.560
Played along the way.
00:02:42.639 --> 00:02:48.479
I think I stopped playing FIFA maybe at when they start to change from EA Sports to Oh, yeah, yeah, okay.
00:02:48.639 --> 00:02:49.439
So whatever it's called now.
00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:51.280
Yeah, recently, yeah, not that long ago.
00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:51.759
Yeah, yeah.
00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:59.439
That's that's probably the last time I played uh FIFA, but then alongside the way I used to play off champions um uh manager, football manager.
00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:05.520
Oh, I've seen that, and I thought about dabbling with that, and I thought it looks super addictive.
00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:07.840
It was like you a time sink.
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:08.240
Yeah, yeah.
00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:21.680
When you talk about genuine time sink, you I feel like I would pick up a well, it's on PC or whatever, I would jump into a game there, and then I would think that I'd been playing for half an hour, but three days had passed by.
00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:22.319
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:23.360
It's one of those kind of games.
00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:29.360
You know what though, it was a test of patience because um you can you can do the simulation where it just skips time.
00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:30.080
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:32.639
Sometimes I'm so impatient, I just want to play the next game.
00:03:32.719 --> 00:03:33.919
I just you just skip through the match.
00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:38.080
I skip through the match, but I'm just like, but yeah, I shouldn't be doing that.
00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:44.560
But you just want to get the next kind of like the next kick, the next open we feel like that's the next match.
00:03:44.639 --> 00:03:45.520
Like if you're bored of this match.
00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:48.479
We're trying to get a transfer in, you're like, I can't be bothered with the hole.
00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:48.719
Right.
00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:51.199
That person said, No, that I'm like just let me know.
00:03:51.520 --> 00:03:53.199
Zip, zip straight to the point.
00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:56.319
Yeah, FIFA days, and then Pro Evo came.
00:03:56.479 --> 00:03:58.319
Oh, hated Pro Evo.
00:03:58.560 --> 00:03:59.039
Same, same.
00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:02.080
I never under yeah, my cousins were always on Pro Evo, and I was just like, you know what?
00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:02.800
Now this isn't me.
00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:05.199
I'm a FIFA guy, I don't like Pro Evo.
00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:13.680
Um I always used to the argument against uh Pro Evo when you were a FIFA person was that they never had the real names.
00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:14.400
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:19.199
Yeah, they never had the real licenses or a London red team, or you're like, that's Arsenal.
00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:20.319
Who is Arsenal, man?
00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:21.199
Yeah, it's Arsenal.
00:04:21.279 --> 00:04:22.480
Nah, it's not, it could be anyone.
00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:23.519
That was every single time.
00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:24.160
So you know what?
00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:25.839
If they ain't got the real stuff, I'm not doing it.
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:26.800
I want the real stuff, man.
00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:31.519
Pro Evo, no, I know you don't get the tap X in the box, just the banger goal in.
00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:33.439
All the buttons were just wrong to me.
00:04:33.519 --> 00:04:35.040
I was like, Nigga, I'm not doing this.
00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:44.959
I want to get into who you are as a person and where you've come from and your your your come-up.
00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:47.600
So I didn't know that you were born in Nigeria.
00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:48.240
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:48.639
Right?
00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:50.000
But let's get into that.
00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:56.959
So, first and foremost, I want to give you your flowers for being one of the most consistent content creators that I see on my feed.
00:04:57.040 --> 00:04:59.920
I look I when I see your your content, I'm like, okay, cool.
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:04.560
I'm locking in right now because I'll take your word and your opinion on tech.
00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:13.759
I'm not really a tech guy, like I'm I'm like if I see something, whatever, um I'm I don't even rush to really update my phone that much anymore.
00:05:13.839 --> 00:05:16.399
Like, you know, I'm just if I see stuff, I'm thinking, okay, cool.
00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:23.680
But I also do think on the flip side of that, if I was to dabble just a little bit, I don't think I'd be able to just dip my toe in.
00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:30.319
I think if I really looked at tech properly, and I'm building my gaming room right now, actually, so now is a perfect time.
00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:45.839
Um, but then what I think what I'm actually really scared of is that if I, like I said, didn't just dip my toe in, I would dive the whole the whole way, which means the cost of things that I'll be looking at.
00:05:45.920 --> 00:05:48.399
Oh, actually, no, I could just you know save a bit of money here.
00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:58.000
Ah, yeah, but Tommy said if I get this one, then you know that might be just a little bit better and the quality and the and the well, you just mentioned the stabilization of the 4Ks of the black magic.
00:05:58.160 --> 00:05:59.439
They never had that, so you never went for that.
00:05:59.519 --> 00:06:01.920
But then you know, you got that version, and I'll be like, Do you know what?
00:06:02.079 --> 00:06:11.519
And all of a sudden, my my my budget gaming room then turns into I I've I I've I've had to remortgage my house because I decided I wanted a new you know gaming room.
00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:13.519
So I think it's very easy to do that with tech.
00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:17.600
So I think that's what stopped me from really going hard on tech.
00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:26.399
But yeah, I mean that's in other words, I also do understand that's pretty that can be a cop out, really, because you can still find great budget things in tech.
00:06:26.480 --> 00:06:26.959
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:30.720
The price ranges goes from ground zero to to whatever you want to see.
00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:37.519
I I think um I always say to people if I wasn't reviewing tech, I'll probably still have like say an iPhone 5 from back in the day.
00:06:37.839 --> 00:06:38.240
Wow, really?
00:06:38.399 --> 00:06:53.600
I think the difference be differences between I mean that's extreme, but the differences between the phones now in terms of quality, what they do, or tech in general, laptops, you name it, it's so like marginal that you don't need to buy the latest thing that comes out every every year.
00:06:53.759 --> 00:06:57.199
Yeah, in fact, I have the argument of like why do they come out so often?
00:06:57.279 --> 00:06:59.439
Like they need to take a step back a little bit, right?
00:06:59.519 --> 00:07:02.959
And just because I remember the two-year cycle, I remember the three-year cycle and so on.
00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:06.560
But now it's like some brands don't even do a yearly cycle anymore.
00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:18.160
It's the fold will come out this time, and then by Feb March, the next S series will come out, and then iPhone comes out in September, and then before you know it, same cycle again the year after, and it's just like it's too fast.
00:07:18.399 --> 00:07:19.839
Why do people need this every year?
00:07:20.079 --> 00:07:20.240
Right.
00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:29.120
So we've we've determined they they don't need it because if the the the changes are that minuscule that it's like barely noticeable, do you actually need to invest in a you know you literally don't.
00:07:29.279 --> 00:07:37.279
You don't, unless you're like a proper techie person, early adopter, when something new comes out, you want to try it out, then I I don't I don't really see the point.
00:07:37.439 --> 00:07:39.120
Yeah, I can't I can't get with it.
00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:47.279
I actually, when I first took a step back, I guess, with really wanting to have the latest phone that was our latest iPhone, the latest Samsung.
00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:50.319
Um I guess those are the two like two big brands.
00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:52.959
Two two big brands that everyone would really go for.
00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:56.959
And my cousin always used to laugh at me because he was always a Google guy.
00:07:57.040 --> 00:07:57.279
Right.
00:07:57.519 --> 00:07:58.160
Google Pixel.
00:07:58.399 --> 00:07:58.800
Pixel, yeah.
00:07:59.040 --> 00:07:59.199
Right.
00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:02.480
And he would just be like, Oh yeah, he is you're just a follower, you're a follower.
00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:04.319
And I'm like, bro, it's all I know, man.
00:08:04.399 --> 00:08:05.680
Like, just like teach me, then innit?
00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:11.759
Sand of it on your high horse with your Google Pixel, you're not telling me any stats about it to compare to what I have, you're just laughing at me.
00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:12.079
Yeah, yeah.
00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:13.920
So, like, help me, you know?
00:08:14.319 --> 00:08:24.079
Um so yeah, when I when I first took a step back from really rushing to get the latest phone, I then started getting the phone.
00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:32.159
So I would wait for the phones to come out, whatever they would come out annually, and then I would actually get not the latest one, but the one before that.
00:08:32.720 --> 00:08:34.639
Yeah, because that the price drops on that one.
00:08:34.879 --> 00:08:35.679
So it's a good time to buy it.
00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:43.360
Yeah, the latest one is out, so then if the one before it is still on sale, which obviously it is, it's only a year older than it, and the difference is marginal.
00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:44.320
It's so small.
00:08:44.399 --> 00:08:44.720
Yeah, yeah.
00:08:44.879 --> 00:08:54.320
Why am I not just I don't mind, like I don't care what people think, like it's such a smart thing to do to get the the one before it, because then like I said, like the price drops a bit, then it's a good time to go buy it.
00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:55.200
It's a great time, yeah.
00:08:55.279 --> 00:08:59.519
Yeah, you don't buy your barbecue in the summer, no, it's like what like fashion.
00:08:59.600 --> 00:09:04.559
You buy you get great deal on winter fashion, yeah, exactly, and then rock it.
00:09:05.679 --> 00:09:07.360
Exactly that, exactly.
00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:10.240
Talk to me about your upbringing in Nigeria.
00:09:10.320 --> 00:09:11.039
What was that like?
00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:12.960
Um, so I've got a Nigerian friend.
00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:16.399
We've our mutual Jacob, which I just learned now, I didn't realise that.
00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:19.600
Um I haven't seen Jacob in a long time, but super proud of that guy.
00:09:19.679 --> 00:09:31.600
Oh super proud of him because like just seeing where we both came from and uh growing up in like go to church and all that kind of stuff, you can just see where everyone came from and how everyone's striving to be better in life and that kind of stuff.
00:09:31.679 --> 00:09:34.559
And every time I just see stuff, I'm always like, that's amazing.
00:09:35.039 --> 00:09:35.600
Super proud of him.
00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:36.879
Um but anyway, I digress.
00:09:36.960 --> 00:09:40.080
Um yeah, I grew up in Nigeria, was born there, uh 88.
00:09:40.159 --> 00:09:41.200
I'm showing my age.
00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:42.320
Um 88?
00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:43.679
88?
00:09:43.919 --> 00:09:46.000
No way this guy.
00:09:46.159 --> 00:09:47.440
Hey, Dracula.
00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:49.519
Yeah, 88, man.
00:09:49.600 --> 00:09:50.080
I'm old.
00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:54.000
Um, but yeah, I grew up there till I was 13, then moved to the UK.
00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:57.039
Um, I think back then it was like a thing that a lot of people did.
00:09:57.200 --> 00:10:09.600
Um parents were my mum was a nurse, and a lot of medical um personnels or like professionals were able to move to the UK because it was used to be a lot of like an easier route to get to the UK uh and stuff like that.
00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:13.360
So came with my mum, and back then what you'd have to do is come bit by bit.
00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:14.799
You can't just like ruck up with everyone.
00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:15.440
Wasn't it easier?
00:10:15.600 --> 00:10:15.840
Yeah, yeah.
00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:18.480
I came with my mum, it's used to be my mum for like a few years.
00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:18.799
Okay.
00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:28.240
Um, and then my dad came with my two older brothers, and uh yeah, then they would be we came as then we're we're hissed as a family, and everyone's just like moved to like different parts and whatnot.
00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:32.399
Um, but uh upbringing was pretty was pretty good to be fair.
00:10:32.480 --> 00:10:33.919
I'd I'd say it was a good upbringing.
00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:37.120
It wasn't like flashy in terms of like big house or anything like that.
00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:40.720
I wasn't one of those rich Nigerians that went to boarding school and stuff like that.
00:10:40.799 --> 00:10:43.360
I dabbled in boarding school, but it wasn't really my thing.
00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:45.120
Um my parents found out.
00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:48.879
Um, but yeah, so it was really nice actually, like family environment.
00:10:49.120 --> 00:10:53.360
Um, you're close to all your cousins and aunts and whatnot.
00:10:53.600 --> 00:10:55.679
Um, yeah, it was just a simple life.
00:10:55.840 --> 00:10:58.559
You've some days I look back at you and go, actually, that was pretty simple.
00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:00.000
You just wake up every day, bro.
00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:01.919
Food is nice, it's organic food.
00:11:02.159 --> 00:11:06.080
It's all everything's there for you, Mumsy's hooked you up, everything's set.
00:11:06.240 --> 00:11:12.080
And it was a village mentality in the sense of like you could go down the road uh and speak to like another family that could feed you.
00:11:12.159 --> 00:11:12.240
Yeah.
00:11:12.399 --> 00:11:15.039
So by the time you come home, your parents are you already fed.
00:11:15.279 --> 00:11:15.679
Wow.
00:11:15.919 --> 00:11:19.600
And this was when sorry, this was whilst you whilst you moved here.
00:11:19.679 --> 00:11:20.480
No, that was in Nigeria.
00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:22.720
I was gonna say, where are you in this village mentality?
00:11:23.600 --> 00:11:24.399
No, no, no, not here.
00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:24.879
Oh, yeah.
00:11:25.919 --> 00:11:27.279
What part of the UK did you move to?
00:11:27.679 --> 00:11:33.440
That village mentality I quickly learned, I learned very quickly that when you when I moved there that people just kept to themselves.
00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:36.399
Um it wasn't all like onky dory like you thought it was.
00:11:36.480 --> 00:11:36.799
Yeah, yeah.
00:11:36.960 --> 00:11:41.519
I still remember the day that we landed at in uh Birmingham airport because uh we moved to Birmingham.
00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:44.559
My parents, when my mum came first, she lived in London, she hated it.
00:11:44.799 --> 00:11:45.679
She was like, it was too much.
00:11:46.320 --> 00:11:51.440
Her and her best mate, they were like, we didn't like the tube, like the whole culture in London just wasn't for them.
00:11:51.519 --> 00:11:53.279
So they ended up settling in in Birmingham.
00:11:53.360 --> 00:11:53.600
Right.
00:11:53.759 --> 00:11:58.240
Um, so yeah, uh, I remember stepping off the plane and I was just like, it's A, it's freezing.
00:11:58.559 --> 00:11:58.720
Yep.
00:11:58.879 --> 00:12:00.159
So I was like, what is this weather?
00:12:00.559 --> 00:12:01.200
Where do you bore me?
00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:02.720
Mum, can we go home?
00:12:02.960 --> 00:12:08.159
And then we moved to a place in Birmingham called um it's near what's that place called now?
00:12:08.639 --> 00:12:09.519
Small Eaf.
00:12:09.679 --> 00:12:10.559
Yep, I think it was.
00:12:10.720 --> 00:12:11.200
I know it.
00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:22.879
Yeah, and like in my head, the the movies that I've seen of England were like this flashy, lovely You weren't gonna see that in Small East Pearly vibes, like Solid Hall touchwood.
00:12:23.039 --> 00:12:23.919
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:27.200
And I was just like, right, so this is the England they speak about.
00:12:27.279 --> 00:12:28.159
The house we moved into.
00:12:28.399 --> 00:12:35.519
I was like, I mean, I'm grateful, like, thank the Lord, but the house that we we lived there in, I was just like, this life was bad in Nigeria, man.
00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:36.159
What's this?
00:12:37.360 --> 00:12:38.159
What's this?
00:12:38.960 --> 00:12:49.840
Um, and then you move to school, and then you're like having to deal with um a lot, a load of like in English kids who didn't have a clue about anywhere apart from England.
00:12:49.919 --> 00:12:50.080
Yeah.
00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:54.159
So every question was always like, Did you play football barefoot?
00:12:54.559 --> 00:13:00.559
Did you live did you live in like huts and like um the ignorant play with the animals and blah blah blah?
00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:02.480
But I don't know what it is with me.
00:13:02.559 --> 00:13:06.960
Uh growing up, I've always just like had this sense of like I'm very welcoming.
00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:10.960
So when people ask those questions, my brain just understood that it just didn't understand it.
00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:12.240
So I'm just like, That's good.
00:13:12.399 --> 00:13:16.320
As they mentioned, I'm educating, I'm going, nah, I didn't play like I did this, I did that.
00:13:16.399 --> 00:13:18.799
And then eventually I just kind of blended in and it was fine.
00:13:18.960 --> 00:13:20.080
So you had that patience.
00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:22.639
Yeah, it was obviously it was necessary.
00:13:22.960 --> 00:13:23.519
It was necessary.
00:13:23.919 --> 00:13:27.759
Without it, you would have had a far more rocky upbringing with that.
00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:41.279
I think I think Nigeria teaches you uh survival skills, like at a very, very young age, because you just learn to navigate life either alone or with friends or family and whatnot, but you you'd learn to survive in any situation that you find yourself in.
00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:41.759
Okay.
00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:42.480
Yeah.
00:13:43.039 --> 00:13:51.679
How do you think the village meant um that village mentality that you had back in Nigeria had an effect on who you are today?
00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:55.840
Um because if you if you lost it as soon as you came to England.
00:13:57.360 --> 00:13:58.399
You lost it at 13.
00:13:58.559 --> 00:13:58.879
Yeah.
00:13:59.039 --> 00:14:06.320
So do you think you had adapted enough of it and benefited enough from it at 13 to still brought that into your adult life?
00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:13.919
I think I look back at it in in the sense of um how people were helpful with each other, each other and community spirit.
00:14:14.080 --> 00:14:19.679
So like I used to I used to reminisce like Christmas and Easter, all those celebratory moments.
00:14:20.080 --> 00:14:26.159
Um like I remember like at Christmas, you'd go to the tailor, get matching outfits as a family.
00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:29.200
Um, like I remember my first girlfriend here.
00:14:29.360 --> 00:14:37.679
Um she she I just don't I just couldn't understand how to celebrate Christmas because it's we'll go to we'll go over to your house and that's Christmas.
00:14:38.000 --> 00:14:39.120
Okay, it was separate houses.
00:14:39.360 --> 00:14:39.840
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:42.159
But I spent a lot of Christmas at at their house.
00:14:42.240 --> 00:14:42.480
Yes.
00:14:42.639 --> 00:14:46.320
But at the beginning, they used to look at me weird, like, why you know with your family for Christmas?
00:14:46.559 --> 00:14:47.039
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:14:47.200 --> 00:14:51.200
But then I had to educate her, like the way Christmas was celebrated for us.
00:14:51.279 --> 00:14:58.879
Well, I don't know if that's a general Nigerian thing, but for us, it's like we get the matching outfits, we're so excited in the morning to get to church.
00:14:58.960 --> 00:15:06.000
So you go to church, you celebrate Christmas from there, but on the way back, you're not going home, you're going to other people's houses along the way.
00:15:06.080 --> 00:15:07.840
You dart around till you get home.
00:15:07.919 --> 00:15:15.759
It's like a little stops along the way, and like parents who give you presents, like it might be money and it might be random, it might be food or whatever it is.
00:15:15.840 --> 00:15:22.639
And then by the time you all get home at night time, it becomes like uh with with your brothers that is you all compare and go, Oh, I I made 20.
00:15:22.720 --> 00:15:23.200
This I made.
00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:24.399
Do you know what I mean?
00:15:24.480 --> 00:15:33.039
And then your parents are fed other people that's come through as well, and then your favourite like family friends will then pop in at late at night just to be like just come to say hello.
00:15:33.840 --> 00:15:35.519
Like that vibe was so nice, you know.
00:15:35.840 --> 00:15:38.080
That's you can't match that.
00:15:38.159 --> 00:15:44.159
Nah, that is that level of community and and village and unity.
00:15:44.320 --> 00:15:48.639
Yeah, that's a Christmas that if you haven't experienced it, once you've experienced something like that.
00:15:48.879 --> 00:15:50.000
Oh, it's never the same.
00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:50.639
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:15:50.960 --> 00:15:51.679
I couldn't imagine.
00:15:52.639 --> 00:15:56.720
I used to do the rounds with family when I was growing up.
00:15:56.799 --> 00:16:00.480
Um, me and my brother, we'd go to HQ, really, which is my grandma's house.
00:16:00.559 --> 00:16:02.240
And then I love that you call it HQ.
00:16:02.399 --> 00:16:02.639
Yeah, yeah.
00:16:02.639 --> 00:16:04.080
That's uh that's that's what it was.
00:16:04.159 --> 00:16:06.799
Like, that's because you go to go there, you see any random cousin.
00:16:06.879 --> 00:16:11.360
There was like back then at that age, I wasn't messaging anyone to be like, oh, you go into Nan's.
00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:11.679
Yeah, yeah.
00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:14.879
Like it you would just turn up and there's no phones, yeah.
00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:15.360
There's no phones.
00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:20.399
I didn't I didn't have a phone, or there wasn't 3210 in like what year seven, but like I'm talking before then.
00:16:20.480 --> 00:16:24.240
Yeah, I'm thinking primary school, I'm just literally holding my mum's hand.
00:16:24.320 --> 00:16:29.039
Yeah, and whoever, whatever cousins are at Nan's house, I was who I'm vibing with that day.
00:16:29.120 --> 00:16:29.440
That's it.
00:16:29.519 --> 00:16:31.679
And I'm that's that's the team, that's the squad for the day.
00:16:31.759 --> 00:16:39.279
Yeah um, and yeah, that going there and just having a great time with family is just so important, I think.
00:16:39.679 --> 00:16:42.559
And if you don't experience that, yeah, you just never know.
00:16:42.879 --> 00:16:43.279
Absolutely.
00:16:43.360 --> 00:16:49.600
I think I brought that with me in the sense of like the way that function out of my core friends where they're like my community, you know?
00:16:49.679 --> 00:16:49.840
Right.
00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:55.919
And uh we always have that conversation now that people are yearning for community because I think that's missing a lot now.
00:16:56.080 --> 00:16:58.960
Like people are they're dying for that community to come back.
00:16:59.039 --> 00:17:10.799
Yeah, I it's just so easy to be a solo, yeah, and and just literally an individual trying to make it do your own thing.
00:17:10.960 --> 00:17:11.519
Yeah, do your own thing.
00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:12.720
That's a London thing though.
00:17:14.480 --> 00:17:15.599
Yeah, yeah, I do.
00:17:15.759 --> 00:17:16.160
I think it is.
00:17:16.400 --> 00:17:17.119
I think it's a London thing.
00:17:17.200 --> 00:17:17.440
Yeah, yeah.
00:17:17.680 --> 00:17:18.960
Because I'm from Birmingham as well.
00:17:19.039 --> 00:17:19.359
Yeah, yeah.
00:17:19.599 --> 00:17:21.359
Um you grew up in Birmingham.
00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:29.519
Um I come from Birmingham and I feel there's definitely more of a community vibe there than there is in London.
00:17:29.680 --> 00:17:34.880
I think the further down south you go, the less community it becomes.
00:17:34.960 --> 00:17:37.039
I actually don't know uh London being the base.
00:17:37.119 --> 00:17:37.279
Yeah.
00:17:37.519 --> 00:17:39.359
I can't speak for further down than London.
00:17:39.440 --> 00:17:39.599
Yeah.
00:17:39.759 --> 00:17:48.240
The further up north you go, in my experience, the more people who are just happy to just you walk past someone and you're saying, hello, good morning, good afternoon, yeah.
00:17:48.480 --> 00:17:51.039
Then maybe if it, you know, how are you, ETC?
00:17:51.279 --> 00:17:55.119
That happens way more often, I think, up north than it does down south.
00:17:55.279 --> 00:17:56.319
Totally agree, totally agree.
00:17:56.400 --> 00:18:02.640
Like now, I like even my um my flat, the Black of Fly, we have like a WhatsApp group, like we don't chat in there.
00:18:02.799 --> 00:18:08.000
But when I look at the my friends who have the same setup, like up north, their WhatsApp group's going off.
00:18:08.160 --> 00:18:10.240
Like, he's got to spare this, like what's that?
00:18:10.319 --> 00:18:12.640
I'm like See, like borrowing stuff, lending stuff?
00:18:12.720 --> 00:18:12.880
Wow.
00:18:13.039 --> 00:18:16.160
If you saw a message that in my group now, I'd be like, sorry.
00:18:17.759 --> 00:18:18.799
Like, why are you messaging me?
00:18:19.279 --> 00:18:19.839
No, that's me.
00:18:19.920 --> 00:18:21.279
Go and get it yourself, bro.
00:18:22.319 --> 00:18:24.160
Wow, that's crazy.
00:18:24.480 --> 00:18:38.480
Um, so even though you you have adapted that village mentality yourself, do you see how, from the sounds of things, even though you have that, do you feel like you have that alone in your block of flats?
00:18:38.640 --> 00:18:47.440
Like, can do you feel that you can bring that out and be welcomed and people will adapt it, or is it because now you're here in London you can't express that?
00:18:47.599 --> 00:18:48.640
You you you know what I'm saying?
00:18:48.720 --> 00:18:51.759
You will you be met with the same energy if you express that?
00:18:51.839 --> 00:18:54.640
Because you just said, you just said, why are you asking me?
00:18:54.720 --> 00:19:01.920
Like, that's you see, you have the village mentality because you brought that from Nigeria, but now you're in London, it's like look, I think it's too late for me.
00:19:02.000 --> 00:19:05.279
Um I've I've lived in London for too long to change that.
00:19:05.359 --> 00:19:14.880
But I think um, even if I thought about if I think about doing it, uh by the time I I'll talk myself out of it before before it gets implemented.
00:19:15.039 --> 00:19:15.440
It's a shame.
00:19:15.680 --> 00:19:16.799
Because it's just gonna be weird.
00:19:16.880 --> 00:19:16.960
Yeah.
00:19:17.119 --> 00:19:17.920
I'll tell you one thing.
00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:25.920
I remember um going to an event and we made this uh forgive me, I can't remember the name of it, like Christmas thing, like you you build it and you you can hang it on the door or whatever.
00:19:26.079 --> 00:19:31.440
Um and I remember coming home thinking, oh, this could be nice on the front door, and I just put it on the front door, you know.
00:19:31.759 --> 00:19:33.200
And then two days later I took it off.
00:19:33.279 --> 00:19:37.039
I was like, I bet this like walking through going, what the heck is this thing on the door?
00:19:37.279 --> 00:19:38.160
What's this guy putting this?
00:19:38.400 --> 00:19:39.519
You put this on the door.
00:19:39.680 --> 00:19:40.319
I took it off.
00:19:40.400 --> 00:19:50.160
And I was just like, but usually that would have been like a it's a thing, it's so cool, like that, like whatever, like what you know, really nice for you to put that on the door or whatever, but then it's that kind of stuff.
00:19:50.400 --> 00:19:58.880
So I think yeah, I I I hang around in different communities and stuff, but I think every time I go back to my black community, I always still feel the sense of it, right?
00:19:58.960 --> 00:20:00.240
Um, and which is quite nice.
00:20:00.319 --> 00:20:06.000
Like when I go to like events that's mainly like black people there, I I kind of still see it, okay, which is quite nice.
00:20:06.160 --> 00:20:09.599
Um But yeah, we could do more as a as a as a community.
00:20:09.920 --> 00:20:15.920
See that that's I think that's where that's where the change happens, of course.
00:20:16.240 --> 00:20:29.039
But being met with that and you making the conscious decision of okay, am I going to be village mode where I come from right now, or am I going to be the a product of my current environment?
00:20:29.200 --> 00:20:29.519
Yeah, yeah.
00:20:29.680 --> 00:20:43.519
You know, and you've I mean, I don't know how often it would happen, but in cases like that, that you know, big events, Christmas, Easter, um, New Year's, maybe, you'll be met with those kind of moments, and it's just like, you know, it's either a left or right, a yes or no decision.
00:20:44.000 --> 00:20:45.279
Do I join in or do I just go after you?
00:20:45.519 --> 00:20:47.039
Do I join in, or you know, do I lead?
00:20:47.279 --> 00:20:50.079
Or do I just like ah you know nah they won't appreciate it.
00:20:50.480 --> 00:20:53.920
And then you sit, you talk yourself out of it, and then before you know it, you're like them.
00:20:54.079 --> 00:20:54.400
Yeah, yeah.
00:20:54.559 --> 00:20:54.880
That's it.
00:20:55.039 --> 00:20:56.640
And I think you know what, it comes with age as well.
00:20:56.720 --> 00:21:02.000
I think the older I get, the more the the the less tolerance I have for things and patience I have for things.
00:21:02.240 --> 00:21:05.920
So I've kind of uh built this life of just being a lone ranger.
00:21:06.000 --> 00:21:11.599
So like I and people always prove me right, unfortunately, because like I just like to do things on my own, just go off and do it on my own.
00:21:11.920 --> 00:21:16.160
Because otherwise, I think it takes me so much longer just to like wait for someone to do this or do that.
00:21:16.240 --> 00:21:25.440
Like, for example, we went to shoot a car uh recently, and um in my head, I thought I'm just gonna rock up, it's gonna take me an hour, shoot this, get back home.
00:21:25.599 --> 00:21:29.759
But my guy was like, Nah, we're gonna need like three hours to do this and then that.
00:21:29.920 --> 00:21:31.519
I was just like, in my head, I was just like, boy.
00:21:31.759 --> 00:21:38.000
But did you actually need three hours, or was it just I don't think we do we you can make it three hours if you want to, but we don't need three hours.
00:21:38.160 --> 00:21:43.039
Like, yeah, once you get the shot, the more you do that kind of stuff, once you get the shot, you know you've got it.
00:21:43.119 --> 00:21:45.680
Like you don't have to spend too long to yeah, yeah.
00:21:45.920 --> 00:21:50.880
And that's the kind of stuff I'm just like if I'd gone and done this by myself, I appreciate if he's watching, I appreciate it by the way.
00:21:51.039 --> 00:21:51.839
It was amazing.
00:21:52.079 --> 00:22:06.480
But that's the kind of scenarios I'm like, I could have just done that by myself, or during Christmas, me and my group of friends were like, Okay, we're gonna get together, have a Christmas dinner, and uh that turned into a whole faff because I was like, Yeah, no one could find where to go, and blah blah blah.
00:22:06.559 --> 00:22:08.480
And I found a spot, I said I'm gonna book it.
00:22:08.559 --> 00:22:10.400
This is the plan, this is the menu.
00:22:10.720 --> 00:22:18.960
Then it turned into whole, like, yeah, but we want this, yeah, but we don't want that in the menu, and then this, and then that, and in my head, I'm just like, I have no patience for this, please.
00:22:19.039 --> 00:22:21.759
Let me let's just I just I thought I was doing something good.
00:22:22.079 --> 00:22:25.920
You so yeah, see, moments like that as well, they just remind you.
00:22:26.640 --> 00:22:28.720
I do know what maybe I should just keep my mouth shut.
00:22:28.799 --> 00:22:29.440
Yeah, yeah.
00:22:29.680 --> 00:22:30.880
You you try sometimes.
00:22:30.960 --> 00:22:33.119
You actually do think, I do know what it would be nice.
00:22:33.200 --> 00:22:39.440
Yeah, let me just let me be the one to arrange the the the holiday for the for the boys, for for the team, for the squad.
00:22:39.519 --> 00:22:41.920
Yeah, or let me arrange a um you know a nice dinner.
00:22:42.000 --> 00:22:42.640
Let's just get together.
00:22:42.799 --> 00:22:43.599
Let's just get together, yeah.
00:22:43.759 --> 00:22:48.799
And then yeah, the opinions start coming in, people start chiming in, this, this, this, and then you're like, where were you?
00:22:49.200 --> 00:22:52.720
Yeah, why didn't you pipe up the floor to say I'll do it?
00:22:52.880 --> 00:23:01.599
Yeah, I so I'm the one who was arranging this, but you were you were nowhere to be seen when I'm the one who said this originally, so like you can't say anything now, exactly, exactly.
00:23:01.759 --> 00:23:04.319
So, yeah, moments like that you go, ah, I'll just do it myself.
00:23:04.559 --> 00:23:07.680
Yeah, you just go back into your shell and it's like, you know what?
00:23:07.839 --> 00:23:08.160
Yeah, yeah.
00:23:08.240 --> 00:23:09.839
I'll stick to I'll just do things myself.
00:23:10.000 --> 00:23:10.720
That's it, that's it.
00:23:11.119 --> 00:23:11.440
Sadly.
00:23:11.920 --> 00:23:12.319
But yeah.
00:23:12.799 --> 00:23:15.839
So why did you step into the tech world?
00:23:16.000 --> 00:23:20.960
Was there a genuine interest, or was there like uh an inspiration?
00:23:21.119 --> 00:23:22.000
Somebody who inspires you?
00:23:22.319 --> 00:23:24.240
Um, it's something I'm genuinely into.
00:23:24.319 --> 00:23:25.200
I love tech so much.
00:23:25.279 --> 00:23:28.480
Um engineering, like hands-on uh things I really love.
00:23:28.640 --> 00:23:34.400
Again, back to going growing up in Nigeria, my dad works as a technician in the science department for the university.
00:23:34.559 --> 00:23:46.079
So I used to hang around with him a lot, used to go to his uh office, and I used to see all this like microscopes and all this like techie equipment and him putting it together and taking them apart or like teaching people how to use it and stuff like that.
00:23:46.160 --> 00:23:46.960
I used to really love it.
00:23:47.039 --> 00:23:50.640
He would come home with like random things, and I'd be like, Oh, this looks really cool.
00:23:50.880 --> 00:23:57.359
Um, and also uh, I don't know what it is, like my mum used to always look at me and go, Oh, you're gonna be like an entrepreneur one day.
00:23:57.440 --> 00:24:01.519
Because I used to then do this thing where he would bring home like a bunch of paper that he doesn't use anymore.
00:24:01.599 --> 00:24:04.880
Okay, I'll cut them up into like we used to call them jota, it's just notepads.
00:24:05.200 --> 00:24:05.440
Okay.
00:24:05.920 --> 00:24:07.519
So like jotting pads basically.
00:24:07.599 --> 00:24:07.839
Yeah, yeah.
00:24:08.000 --> 00:24:09.680
Uh, but being Nigerian we call it jota.
00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:15.519
Um so we uh I used to make them and I used to give them to my brothers to take to college.
00:24:15.839 --> 00:24:18.000
So they used to use that to do their notes and stuff here.
00:24:18.160 --> 00:24:28.559
And I used to just love making things, and uh I don't know if I don't know if you know this about Nigeria as well, is um like here when your car's damaged, you go for insurance and blah blah blah.
00:24:28.640 --> 00:24:31.680
Sometimes they're looking and go, we can't repair that, so they put another part time or whatever.
00:24:31.759 --> 00:24:38.880
But in Nigeria we have panel beaters who basically they'll just get a sheet of metal and beat beat that into that's where the term comes from.
00:24:38.960 --> 00:24:43.599
They'll shape it into the shape of the car, put it back in, and the car's good to go.
00:24:44.480 --> 00:24:45.920
Hang on, hang on, whoa whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:24:46.160 --> 00:24:55.440
Well, so are we talking about uh a cosmetic thing where I've got a bump on my, you know, like the whole side panel could be like mash up.
00:24:55.599 --> 00:24:59.279
Okay, but they can take that off, they know what the car looks like.
00:24:59.440 --> 00:25:10.720
Oh, I see they'll get you a new sheet panel, like metal sheet, they'll shape it back into how that exactly that looks like paint it back and everything, same colour, yeah, cars back, just as new.
00:25:11.119 --> 00:25:15.839
I thought what you meant was they could do a thing if it like my radiator had gone or something like that.
00:25:16.000 --> 00:25:17.519
Oh, part of that as well, they'll fix anything.
00:25:17.759 --> 00:25:19.119
Like it's a fix it mentality.
00:25:19.200 --> 00:25:25.200
It's not it's not let me go buy a new one, it's what's wrong with it, let me see what I can do to make it and I will bring it back to and I will fix it.
00:25:25.440 --> 00:25:37.839
So, like having that sort of mentality and seeing it happen kind of like geared me towards like technology, and then um when I moved to the UK, I call him my cousin because like the closest thing I had to being a cousin back then.
00:25:37.920 --> 00:25:39.039
I used to hang around with him a lot.
00:25:39.119 --> 00:25:43.119
He was studying uh IT of some sort, I can't remember what degree he was studying.
00:25:43.200 --> 00:25:43.839
Uh Sam.
00:25:44.240 --> 00:25:45.200
Big up Sam.
00:25:45.440 --> 00:25:48.799
Um, and being in their house, they had all the computers and whatnot.
00:25:48.880 --> 00:25:54.160
And I used to like just go on it, just like play around seeing him coding, and then he'll switch over, play GTA 6.
00:25:54.720 --> 00:25:58.079
Not six, GTA, whatever number it was, six coming out, six that's coming out, six coming out.
00:25:58.480 --> 00:26:06.720
Should you ever mind is that if you you sat here, right, as my first tech guest, I mean like I've just looked that you played GTA.
00:26:07.599 --> 00:26:12.160
Imagine fucking years ago, then we're onto this groundbreaking.
00:26:15.279 --> 00:26:22.319
Um no, I used to play GTA, and I I remember the first GTA that used to be like fully graphics and like the way he worked and everything, used to love it.
00:26:22.480 --> 00:26:31.279
Um, so all that kind of like geared me towards loving tech, and I just went into computer science my whole life, just like computers to confuse computers like the whole time.
00:26:31.440 --> 00:26:33.039
Yeah, that's how we that's where it all came from.
00:26:33.119 --> 00:26:33.279
Yeah.
00:26:33.519 --> 00:26:39.359
I studied uh software engineering, so yes, I was doing that for a few years as well, but I just didn't like the office environment.
00:26:39.440 --> 00:26:40.079
So fair.
00:26:40.160 --> 00:26:41.279
Yeah, did your own thing.
00:26:41.359 --> 00:26:41.759
Yeah, yeah.
00:26:41.920 --> 00:26:51.279
So being so heavily in tech, do you think there is a link to being constantly in tech and emotional burnout?
00:26:52.240 --> 00:26:53.119
In what way?
00:26:54.559 --> 00:27:00.720
Being engulfed in your phone and having your head down constantly just on your phone and not caring about anything else that's going on around you.
00:27:00.880 --> 00:27:01.279
Right.
00:27:01.839 --> 00:27:07.839
Is do you feel like that is linked to emotion to do you think that's linked to having an emotional burnout?
00:27:08.079 --> 00:27:12.799
And if yes, how can people avoid that?
00:27:12.960 --> 00:27:15.920
What can you actually do to prevent that from happening?
00:27:16.079 --> 00:27:17.440
Ah, that's a good question.
00:27:17.599 --> 00:27:19.440
Um shout out to my producer.
00:27:19.519 --> 00:27:23.920
She's that's the second time she's cooking out here and bigger producer, she knows who she is.
00:27:24.799 --> 00:27:26.000
That's got so many layers to it.
00:27:26.240 --> 00:27:27.759
There is take time, take time.
00:27:27.920 --> 00:27:31.519
I think for me, because I grew up pre-heavy tech.
00:27:31.759 --> 00:27:32.000
Right.
00:27:32.160 --> 00:27:37.119
When I say heavy tech, like I grew up pre-dial-up internet, dial-up internet came, blah, blah, blah.
00:27:37.279 --> 00:27:41.759
So now, pre-social media, pre-Myspace, whatever.
00:27:41.920 --> 00:27:44.720
So I'm able to switch off between both.
00:27:44.880 --> 00:27:47.359
So I didn't grow up relying on those things to function.
00:27:47.519 --> 00:27:49.279
So I grew up around where we used to knock on.
00:27:49.359 --> 00:27:49.839
That's so funny.
00:27:49.920 --> 00:27:58.400
Like, I was talking to my we're talking about having this discussion the other day, how we miss being able to just knock on for your friends, and then you move on to the next one you knock on and you gather and just go out, have a good time.
00:27:58.480 --> 00:28:00.400
If you have a curfew, you come back by 10 p.m.
00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:01.200
or whatever it is.
00:28:01.839 --> 00:28:06.400
We grew up in that environment, so we're able to differentiate between when we spend too much time.
00:28:06.480 --> 00:28:09.440
You don't have to tell me the screen time app on the phone.
00:28:09.519 --> 00:28:12.000
I don't use it because when I'm done, it's away.
00:28:12.079 --> 00:28:15.039
I'm very good at like if I went to dinner, for example, my phone's away.
00:28:15.119 --> 00:28:18.960
If I'm okay, I'm actually very good at switching off from my devices.
00:28:19.200 --> 00:28:20.960
I that is so refreshing to hear.
00:28:21.279 --> 00:28:25.759
Have that love-hate relationship with them where I'm just like, why do I have to do everything on this slab?
00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:36.079
Like, I I still buy good old books to read rather than Kindle or whatever on my phone because I just I think I'd rather do this or that.
00:28:36.319 --> 00:28:38.400
And uh I digress a little bit.
00:28:38.480 --> 00:28:40.160
There's a there's an example, for example.
00:28:40.319 --> 00:28:50.799
So when I drive, um I used to think to myself that I can't see properly, so I was wearing glasses for what like to cope with that, especially at night time, mainly at night time.
00:28:51.039 --> 00:28:57.039
But then one day it occurred to me, I haven't worn my glasses to drive in a very long time at night time, and I'm okay.
00:28:57.200 --> 00:28:58.960
And I'm just like, I wonder why that is.
00:28:59.119 --> 00:29:10.799
And I kept thinking about it every now and then, and I think it came back to the fact that this is a bad habit, but sometimes I'd look at my phone and then I'll drive, like a message pops up, I might have a quick glance, and then I'm driving.
00:29:10.960 --> 00:29:15.680
But it occurred to me that me looking at that screen changes my exposure, my eye level.
00:29:15.759 --> 00:29:17.920
So when I look at the road, my eyes adjust.
00:29:18.079 --> 00:29:20.400
It's a bit like the going through the tunnel, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:29:20.640 --> 00:29:21.279
Like your eyes adjust.
00:29:21.440 --> 00:29:21.920
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:29:22.240 --> 00:29:25.200
So then my eyes can't see properly again because it goes all dark.
00:29:25.279 --> 00:29:25.519
Right.
00:29:25.680 --> 00:29:31.200
So I then became aware that actually all these things I'm doing are affecting my vision and all that kind of stuff.
00:29:31.279 --> 00:29:32.480
So I don't really wear glasses anymore.
00:29:32.559 --> 00:29:34.240
I don't remember last time I wore my reading glasses.
00:29:34.400 --> 00:29:34.960
Ws.
00:29:35.200 --> 00:29:39.680
Because I used to think, ah, is can your eyes just heal itself like every other muscle in the body?
00:29:39.839 --> 00:29:40.240
I don't know.
00:29:40.319 --> 00:29:41.279
I'm not I'm not a science.
00:29:41.680 --> 00:29:42.240
I'd like to think so.
00:29:42.640 --> 00:29:53.440
Like we have and whatnot, and they our body heals itself, but like, damn, once someone pays for goes to artistic and starts paying for their glasses, it's like it's just downhill.
00:29:53.519 --> 00:30:00.000
Like you don't you never heard of like a comeback story of someone going that I feel better now, like spectavers, yeah.
00:30:00.079 --> 00:30:03.039
It just gets worse and like yeah, it just gets worse and worse, and the glasses get thicker and thicker.
00:30:03.119 --> 00:30:03.839
That's how you imagine it.
00:30:03.920 --> 00:30:04.160
Yeah, yeah.
00:30:04.240 --> 00:30:09.519
No one ever goes to spectavers, wears their glasses, and they're like, oh, actually, now I don't need them anymore.
00:30:09.680 --> 00:30:12.240
And then it's that that story where they're just walking their separate ways.
00:30:12.319 --> 00:30:12.559
Yeah, yeah.
00:30:12.640 --> 00:30:13.039
Never heard of that.
00:30:13.279 --> 00:30:13.839
Never never happened.
00:30:14.240 --> 00:30:19.119
So for me, I'm like, so I always question, I would be sat in the car and I say to Evan, I'm like, is that a thing?
00:30:19.680 --> 00:30:20.960
I I feel like I just see better.
00:30:21.039 --> 00:30:23.599
Like, I don't know what it is, but anyway, I digress.
00:30:23.680 --> 00:30:29.680
Um, to answer your question, I think uh being in the tech world all the time, obviously I have to be aware of what's happening all the time, I have to do my research.
00:30:29.839 --> 00:30:36.559
So uh being able to do the I think the things I still struggle with would be being able to do tech as it's just tech.
00:30:36.640 --> 00:30:41.440
Like, so when I go on my gaming, can I just game without thinking, oh, it's doing this, I need to write about that.
00:30:41.839 --> 00:30:44.079
Okay, it's doing this, I need to go create content about that.
00:30:44.319 --> 00:30:50.799
It's a bit like when content creators who make travel content can they go on the holiday and not create content?
00:30:51.039 --> 00:30:52.400
Ooh, do you know what I mean?
00:30:52.720 --> 00:30:56.400
Being able to devise I feel attacked, I'm not gonna lie.
00:30:56.559 --> 00:30:58.400
I ah, I just had this conversation the other day.
00:30:58.559 --> 00:31:17.839
I just said to people in my gaming community, I just said I in fact no, it wasn't my gaming community, I was recording the Ellis show with Ellis, and we're speaking about gaming, and I just said to him because of streaming, because of Twitch, gaming for me became a job because of Twitch pays out, of course.
00:31:18.000 --> 00:31:19.839
And so um subscribers, oh, it's great.
00:31:20.000 --> 00:31:23.920
I'm very grateful, I'm thankful that you know I'm I'm gaming and people are paying me for it.
00:31:24.240 --> 00:31:33.279
But then across time, logistically, it just so happened that I didn't have the time to game off stream.
00:31:33.440 --> 00:31:33.680
Right.
00:31:33.839 --> 00:31:35.599
I only have For yourself, so for myself.
00:31:35.759 --> 00:31:44.160
So I so even though that was my form of escapism and I would be gaming and just taking my time, doing whatever I wanted, pull something up, whatever, and just enjoy that for what it is.
00:31:44.400 --> 00:31:47.599
I only have the time now to game whilst I stream.
00:31:47.759 --> 00:31:49.119
So now they've gone like this.
00:31:49.200 --> 00:31:49.680
Yeah.
00:31:49.920 --> 00:31:53.440
So I currently only game when I stream.
00:31:54.240 --> 00:31:58.079
And now it's become a it's my part-time job now, but really, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:31:58.240 --> 00:32:09.279
And I don't until until I go back to making time for gaming off stream, it's just gonna remain as my part-time job, and I can't I can't separate it, but it was my favourite form of escapism, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:32:09.359 --> 00:32:17.759
And I need to go back to that because when I was able to just switch off and just just play a game, yeah, it wasn't GTA 6 like you were doing 10 years ago.
00:32:19.119 --> 00:32:20.400
Yeah, that's listening.
00:32:22.079 --> 00:32:24.319
I'm gonna get all the details, you're gonna hear first.
00:32:24.400 --> 00:32:25.200
I love that so much.
00:32:25.279 --> 00:32:26.799
That was the sickest blip.
00:32:27.759 --> 00:32:33.519
Um, so yeah, that was my form of escapism, and I was like, yo, I I need to make the effort to go back to that.
00:32:33.599 --> 00:32:46.160
So yeah, when you say can um people who travelers who um like content creators creators who travel, can they just go on holiday and not think, oh, that's a nice little calf over there?
00:32:46.240 --> 00:32:51.359
Yeah, could I just go and have a coffee and just be in the moment?
00:32:51.519 --> 00:32:53.200
Can I just admire the sunset?
00:32:53.440 --> 00:32:54.480
Can I do that?
00:32:54.880 --> 00:32:58.000
And I you of course hope yes they can.
00:32:58.079 --> 00:32:58.480
Yeah, yeah.
00:32:58.799 --> 00:33:15.039
But once you get into, you know, uh work and demands and being in the in the rat race of content creation, you know, lots of us are content creators, you get that pressure of it's not it's no harm if I just make a little video.
00:33:15.440 --> 00:33:16.240
My phone is right there.
00:33:16.400 --> 00:33:18.160
So I mean, you know, it's just a little something.
00:33:18.319 --> 00:33:23.599
I might not use it, but if I get home and I don't, if I haven't taken anything, I might regret it.
00:33:23.680 --> 00:33:24.160
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:33:24.480 --> 00:33:25.839
I hate regrets, you know?
00:33:26.000 --> 00:33:27.519
And these are the I've done this before.
00:33:27.599 --> 00:33:29.759
I've yeah, it happens to me a lot, I think.
00:33:29.920 --> 00:33:40.480
And yeah, that's a massive, major, major point of not being able to just separate both B, separate them and still do things for yourself because you want to.
00:33:40.880 --> 00:33:43.519
Um, and then you've got the other layer of like people around you.
00:33:43.599 --> 00:33:46.960
So if you're you know, like comedians when you go out and they go, ah, tell us a joke.
00:33:47.119 --> 00:33:48.000
It's like that with tech.
00:33:48.240 --> 00:33:51.839
When you're when you're the tech guy, it's ah so I need to pick your brain, actually.
00:33:52.240 --> 00:33:54.720
And I'm like, okay, bro, we haven't seen each other in two weeks.
00:33:54.880 --> 00:33:56.240
Yeah, let's not talk about it.
00:33:56.400 --> 00:33:56.799
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:33:56.880 --> 00:33:58.480
You just want to just how are you put that behind you?
00:33:59.039 --> 00:34:03.519
Yeah, I just want to put that behind somewhere, like part of that, yeah, and then I'm just out as me, not okay.
00:34:03.680 --> 00:34:05.519
Gadget's boy, no gadget spoil, yeah.
00:34:05.680 --> 00:34:07.039
So the different personas, yeah.
00:34:08.000 --> 00:34:09.519
Tommy I'm talking to Gadget's boy.
00:34:09.920 --> 00:34:10.320
Right.
00:34:10.559 --> 00:34:12.079
Did you sell the name?
00:34:12.320 --> 00:34:12.960
Yeah.
00:34:13.840 --> 00:34:23.599
It was um when it when it came about, it was uh me and my boy at university, but I used to buy a lot of tech product, and I used to just like mess around with it.
00:34:23.679 --> 00:34:26.239
And he was like, why don't you just like put it online and do a blog?
00:34:26.320 --> 00:34:28.239
And this was blogging days is where you all started.
00:34:28.400 --> 00:34:28.880
Wow, yeah, yeah.
00:34:29.039 --> 00:34:30.639
So it's I had a fitness blog way back.
00:34:31.039 --> 00:34:32.719
Oh man, blogging was the was the one.
00:34:32.800 --> 00:34:36.960
It was just like take a quick picture of it, write a couple of words about it, put it online.
00:34:37.280 --> 00:34:38.000
Do you still have a blog?
00:34:38.159 --> 00:34:40.800
It's still there, but I just already updated it.
00:34:40.880 --> 00:34:41.280
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:34:41.840 --> 00:34:50.960
I was paying the guy to do it for a while, but then I was just like, I don't know, like it needs a lot of work in terms of the way the internet is now is SEO AI changing.
00:34:51.199 --> 00:34:54.559
So I just thought, yeah, unless I'm paying someone to optimize it, it's no point.
00:34:54.639 --> 00:34:57.039
So yeah, so I I did have a look.
00:34:57.119 --> 00:35:04.079
I think your last post was 2023 or I know me personally that I wrote is probably that far back.
00:35:04.159 --> 00:35:06.719
But the one that my guy wrote was probably June.
00:35:06.800 --> 00:35:07.360
Oh, okay, fair.
00:35:07.519 --> 00:35:08.480
That's the last one, yeah.
00:35:08.639 --> 00:35:12.079
But it's it's yeah, it's just there.
00:35:12.480 --> 00:35:13.440
Fair, fair, fair, fair.
00:35:13.679 --> 00:35:15.039
Could revive it one day, maybe.
00:35:15.360 --> 00:35:23.119
One thing that I definitely wanted to talk to you about is your interview with Sir Lewis Hamilton.
00:35:23.440 --> 00:35:24.239
The greatest of all time.
00:35:24.480 --> 00:35:26.800
The well, we'll get into that bit as well.
00:35:26.880 --> 00:35:27.440
We'll get into that.
00:35:27.599 --> 00:35:28.400
I need to pick your brain out.
00:35:28.480 --> 00:35:33.280
I mean before we do get into it, your interview with Lewis Hamilton, Sir Lewis Hamilton, sorry.
00:35:33.519 --> 00:35:40.239
Um I was looking forward to seeing your content from Silverstone this year.
00:35:40.400 --> 00:35:40.719
Ah.
00:35:41.039 --> 00:35:51.679
So I ran to your story, saw that you were abroad, and I thought, ah, you obviously weren't at Silverstone this year, so you didn't make it and I couldn't make it this year.
00:35:51.920 --> 00:35:52.079
Yeah.
00:35:52.239 --> 00:35:57.119
So um, if you want to share, yeah, what was it that took up your time this year?
00:35:57.360 --> 00:35:59.039
Um, as opposed to going to Silverstone.
00:35:59.199 --> 00:36:06.239
I think it I this is good actually, because it's a nice segue because it goes back to separating and having a time off and all that kind of stuff.
00:36:06.400 --> 00:36:16.159
I think this year, um grateful, privileged uh to be in a position where I know that when Silverstone comes around, there'll be at least one brand that will reach out and be like, Do you want to come to this?
00:36:17.039 --> 00:36:17.440
I'm based there.
00:36:17.760 --> 00:36:19.760
Have you have you actually deeped how awesome that is?
00:36:20.000 --> 00:36:21.840
I've I did I I'm that person.
00:36:22.079 --> 00:36:23.119
I I appreciate that.
00:36:23.199 --> 00:36:26.320
That's why that's why I led with it's a privileged place to be in.
00:36:27.199 --> 00:36:35.119
So when it's like Silverstone, I know that it's I'm based in London, it's easy for brands to be like, come to this because A doesn't cost them that much or custom the hospitality and tickets or whatnot.
00:36:35.280 --> 00:36:41.840
But in terms of like logistics, like stay, because if they'll fly me in from I don't know, America, that's a lot of money and all that stuff.
00:36:42.079 --> 00:36:42.800
Yeah, anyway.
00:36:42.880 --> 00:36:49.679
So this year I was just like, the invites will come, but there's gonna be another Silverstone, God willing.
00:36:50.000 --> 00:36:54.239
Um I was like, I'm just gonna watch from afar this year and just do my thing.
00:36:54.320 --> 00:36:55.039
Like I love that.
00:36:55.199 --> 00:37:02.880
So I boxed the holiday, and then my friend was like, Oh, you do know that that's Silverstone weekend, are you coming?
00:37:02.960 --> 00:37:05.599
And I was just like, Oh, I think it was Temi who was saying, Oh, you're coming.
00:37:05.760 --> 00:37:07.280
I was just like, Nah, I'm not.
00:37:07.360 --> 00:37:08.559
I I thought about it.
00:37:08.800 --> 00:37:09.760
Shout out Temmie, by the way.
00:37:10.159 --> 00:37:10.559
Shout out Temi.
00:37:10.719 --> 00:37:13.840
I was like, I thought about it, I could just move this flight.
00:37:13.920 --> 00:37:18.639
But I was like, no, no, I think this year actually, I'm gonna stick to my guns and just go do my holiday.
00:37:19.679 --> 00:37:20.800
I'm gonna go do my holiday.
00:37:21.039 --> 00:37:21.679
I'm so gassed.
00:37:21.920 --> 00:37:25.280
This is gonna be next year, and this year I'm just gonna watch my farce.
00:37:25.360 --> 00:37:31.119
I was I'd still watch there, still follow there, still did my thing, but yeah, I just that's why I didn't go this year, so yeah.
00:37:32.000 --> 00:37:40.400
Even though you didn't go, for the exact reason what we just spoke about, I'm glad that that was the reason you didn't go because you are separating.
00:37:40.480 --> 00:37:45.280
Yeah, you made the conscious decision to separate work and leisure.
00:37:45.519 --> 00:37:49.199
You just that was it, and and for me, like I always play back.
00:37:49.280 --> 00:37:50.480
It's a weird thing that I do all the time.
00:37:50.559 --> 00:37:55.840
I always look at um something that's coming up, and I have this ability to sort of play back how that's gonna go in my head.
00:37:55.920 --> 00:38:08.079
And I'm just like, Silverstone, yeah, I'm gonna go, we're gonna do hospitality, whatever, I'm gonna do more content, we're gonna catch up with people, post it, buzz about it online, and then the hype will die down, and then that's that done.
00:38:08.320 --> 00:38:19.599
Whereas if I go on this holiday, I'm gonna have a good time, I'm gonna eat well, I'm gonna relax myself, enjoy the sun, whatever, new experiences, new culture, whatever, and that's gonna last long in my in my mind.
00:38:19.840 --> 00:38:21.440
Yeah, the memory experience, yeah.
00:38:21.599 --> 00:38:22.800
Me going to Silverson for that.
00:38:23.119 --> 00:38:26.559
So which will be there next year, next year after that.
00:38:26.719 --> 00:38:27.519
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
00:38:27.840 --> 00:38:28.800
So dope.
00:38:29.039 --> 00:38:29.679
I love that.
00:38:30.159 --> 00:38:35.920
Um so yes, you took your time away, um, which was great.
00:38:36.400 --> 00:38:46.239
But how was it that it sat this far away from the greatest F41 driver of all time?
00:38:46.800 --> 00:38:55.760
You know, the funny thing about that situation, um I could still never I think I think everyone else around me sees it as such a big deal.
00:38:55.920 --> 00:38:57.280
Sorry, I'm not saying it's not a big deal.
00:38:57.440 --> 00:39:00.239
Okay, but like I haven't been able to comprehend what happened.
00:39:00.719 --> 00:39:10.000
So you so it still hasn't sunk in for you yet, so I just see as a like even till today, people, oh you interviewed Sir Lewis, and I'm just like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:39:10.159 --> 00:39:16.960
Because to me, I just I think the sad thing about doing that kind of stuff that makes me feel like that is it's because it's for work.
00:39:17.119 --> 00:39:20.000
You don't get time to let it sink in.
00:39:20.159 --> 00:39:20.400
Okay.
00:39:20.559 --> 00:39:39.440
Uh, because if that happened organically in the sense of like, oh, I just went to a coffee shop, right, and I end up sitting with Lewis, uh Sir Lewis for a couple hours chatting like with friends, that will probably get me shouting about it more than it is when it was just like, oh yeah, I went, it's a bit like um that TV presenters, like your Sky Airphone presenters and stuff.
00:39:39.519 --> 00:39:39.679
Yeah.
00:39:39.840 --> 00:39:42.800
They have access to these people all the time where they chat to them all the time and blah blah.
00:39:42.880 --> 00:39:45.519
I think to them it's just like another day in the office.
00:39:45.840 --> 00:39:47.280
Just because they're being paid to do it.
00:39:47.360 --> 00:39:47.599
Yeah, yeah.
00:39:47.760 --> 00:39:48.000
Right.
00:39:48.320 --> 00:39:56.159
But the the beauty of it though is having that interview, I got to make my own opinion about who he is.
00:39:56.239 --> 00:40:01.119
I've met him before in a much more organic way that I prefer to talk about.
00:40:01.519 --> 00:40:01.599
Okay.
00:40:02.159 --> 00:40:02.960
It's not online.
00:40:03.199 --> 00:40:05.039
Um, it's just like a round table thing.
00:40:05.280 --> 00:40:05.760
Oh, nice.
00:40:05.840 --> 00:40:15.599
Um, so I work with Qualcomm a lot, uh chip manager, and they used to be, they still are, but back then they were Qualcomm sponsoring the Mercedes F1 team, now they're Snapdragon.
00:40:15.760 --> 00:40:21.599
Um, so back then I remember just getting a message being like, Oh, we're gonna go to we're in Barcelona for a big tech show.
00:40:21.760 --> 00:40:27.840
And they were like, Do you want to come to the practice session in Barcelona um circuit?
00:40:27.920 --> 00:40:30.880
And I was just like, Yeah, absolutely, like, yes, please.
00:40:30.960 --> 00:40:34.559
So in my head, it's just practice session, there's not nothing much happens in practice session.
00:40:34.719 --> 00:40:43.920
Um, so we got there and they were like, Oh, by the way, uh, Lewis is gonna come uh to chat to us for a bit, and I was just like, No way.
00:40:44.079 --> 00:40:47.920
But when they said that, it's more like it's gonna come into a room and everyone's just there, yeah, yeah.
00:40:48.400 --> 00:40:50.719
And in my head, I was like, it's not that's still amazing.
00:40:50.880 --> 00:41:06.000
Like, yeah, I got there, he came in, like said hello to everyone, and then they were like, actually, there's another journalist round table session with him, and I was like, no way, and no kidding, the size of the room is the size of this studio with obviously furniture in, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:41:06.079 --> 00:41:11.840
And it was just like from where our producer is there, even closer, actually.
00:41:12.000 --> 00:41:13.679
And I was just like, this is insane.
00:41:13.760 --> 00:41:17.119
I'm actually just sat here with this legend, yeah, man.
00:41:17.280 --> 00:41:20.880
And the whole time I couldn't concentrate, I was just like, What am I gonna ask him?
00:41:21.039 --> 00:41:24.960
Like, I need to ask him a question that's gonna stick in his mind or whatever.
00:41:25.199 --> 00:41:28.559
And everyone's just like doing the typical, so how was your last race?
00:41:28.639 --> 00:41:31.039
Or like, yeah, boring next race is coming up, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:41:31.119 --> 00:41:32.239
Race, race, race, race, race.
00:41:32.480 --> 00:41:40.239
And I remember seeing some of his interviews, and I seen how he lights, his face just like lights up when it talks about anything but racing.
00:41:40.480 --> 00:41:41.679
So interesting.
00:41:41.920 --> 00:41:45.280
I didn't look to him, I went, so uh, what games are you playing at the moment?
00:41:45.519 --> 00:41:47.599
And he was just like, So I'm playing.
00:41:48.320 --> 00:41:49.199
I was like, what console?
00:41:49.280 --> 00:41:50.079
Like blah blah blah.
00:41:50.159 --> 00:41:50.239
Yeah.
00:41:50.480 --> 00:41:58.000
And me and him were just going back and forth for a little bit, and then he looked at me, went, mate, you're that kid at school who you just hugs the ball, aren't you?
00:41:58.079 --> 00:42:03.679
I was like, no, no, it's not even he goes, Well, I'll give other people a chance to ask questions, and then everyone else carried out, I just laughed.
00:42:04.239 --> 00:42:07.840
And in the meantime, I had my camera with me and I was just snapping away, I was snapping away.
00:42:07.920 --> 00:42:11.440
And then towards the end of it, they were like, you know, they whisk them away, you can't do anything.
00:42:11.519 --> 00:42:12.800
It's like everything's on schedule.
00:42:12.960 --> 00:42:17.840
So I won this picture because I don't know next time if I'm gonna ever have that interaction again.
00:42:18.079 --> 00:42:19.760
I was like, can I just get one picture?
00:42:19.920 --> 00:42:24.880
And the lady that chaperones uh him back then was like about to go, and he looked and went, yeah, yeah, of course.
00:42:25.199 --> 00:42:34.559
So I got that picture as well, and then I got home, edited a picture like I normally do, posted online, been like, man, it's incredible to have met the legend, blah blah blah.
00:42:34.800 --> 00:42:36.079
I went to bed, whatever.
00:42:36.159 --> 00:42:39.440
I woke up the next day, my phone was blown up.
00:42:39.679 --> 00:42:41.119
So I was like, what's going on?
00:42:41.599 --> 00:42:42.880
He'd reposted it.
00:42:43.119 --> 00:42:47.679
It's taken a picture, I posted it on his Instagram and Twitter.
00:42:48.000 --> 00:42:53.519
So my my things just went off, and I was just there going, No way.
00:42:54.320 --> 00:42:55.440
I didn't find that shit.
00:42:55.519 --> 00:42:56.559
I've all recognized.
00:42:57.280 --> 00:42:58.480
It's like this is ages ago.
00:42:58.559 --> 00:43:01.920
So now he's still on his feed, but like you have to like scroll and scroll and scroll.
00:43:02.079 --> 00:43:03.519
And I was just like, this is insane.
00:43:03.599 --> 00:43:04.400
Like it's just happened.
00:43:04.880 --> 00:43:10.000
So you see the difference in what I'm saying in terms of like the latest one was amazing, and then remembered.
00:43:10.079 --> 00:43:12.000
It was like, ah, okay, that I'm gonna remember you.
00:43:12.159 --> 00:43:14.159
I didn't know whether to ask, did he remember you from the first one?
00:43:14.559 --> 00:43:17.679
I mean, I say he said it remembers me, but I think all celebrities say that.
00:43:17.760 --> 00:43:19.119
Like be polite.
00:43:19.360 --> 00:43:20.639
So maybe he does, maybe it doesn't.
00:43:20.719 --> 00:43:21.119
I don't know.
00:43:21.599 --> 00:43:23.920
We're gonna we're gonna I'm just gonna own it.
00:43:24.400 --> 00:43:24.800
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:43:25.440 --> 00:43:26.000
It remembered me.
00:43:26.320 --> 00:43:27.119
So we're just gonna go with it.
00:43:27.199 --> 00:43:28.880
Uh this is Sir Lewis Hamilton.
00:43:28.960 --> 00:43:31.119
I he's a I believe he's a trustworthy person.
00:43:31.280 --> 00:43:31.519
Exactly.
00:43:31.599 --> 00:43:32.880
So I think it remembers me.
00:43:32.960 --> 00:43:33.360
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:43:33.360 --> 00:43:38.960
And uh, yeah, so he was just like, uh, yeah, yeah, because I remember you, dah, dah, dah, dah, and then we start talking and talking and talking.
00:43:39.039 --> 00:43:42.880
And then the interview was amazing because he was such this, like, such a gentleman.
00:43:42.960 --> 00:43:47.840
Like he will answer, although loads of the answers were very like media trained, you know, branding stuff.
00:43:47.920 --> 00:43:50.400
Yeah, but I got to ask him questions outside of that.
00:43:50.480 --> 00:43:53.840
So he he found out that he was part Nigerian through his DNA testing.
00:43:54.079 --> 00:43:54.880
Uh yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:43:55.039 --> 00:43:58.239
So um, because I came again with what can I ask him?
00:43:58.320 --> 00:43:58.719
That's different.
00:43:58.880 --> 00:43:59.679
So I was like, what more?
00:44:00.320 --> 00:44:00.800
Question for you.
00:44:00.880 --> 00:44:01.840
Um, one more thing.
00:44:01.920 --> 00:44:08.800
I was like, everyone, when they meet you, they always bring you like a present, maybe like a sign thing or like a poster sign or like a artwork.
00:44:08.880 --> 00:44:09.039
Yeah.
00:44:09.199 --> 00:44:12.400
I said, I don't have any of that, but I'm gonna teach you some Yoruba.
00:44:12.800 --> 00:44:17.039
So if you ever find yourself in Nigeria, yeah, and then he goes, I'm you know, I'm actually part of it.
00:44:17.119 --> 00:44:17.760
I was like, No way.
00:44:17.840 --> 00:44:20.320
I was like, good, this would be useful for you forever.
00:44:20.639 --> 00:44:20.880
Yeah, yeah.
00:44:21.039 --> 00:44:24.000
So I taught him some stuff, just like basic, like hello, bye, whatever.
00:44:24.079 --> 00:44:27.280
And he was repeating, I was like, Yeah, yeah, that's it, you said it right, kind of thing.
00:44:27.519 --> 00:44:29.599
And then I sent it to the brand, I was like, Can we include that?
00:44:29.679 --> 00:44:30.960
They were like, No, we have to cut that bit out.
00:44:31.039 --> 00:44:34.480
And I was just like, I was like, that's the best part of the boring, man.
00:44:34.719 --> 00:44:40.559
Because that is the best part, that's cultural, showing personality, yeah, it's beyond the thing, it's it's it's speakable, yeah.
00:44:40.639 --> 00:44:45.119
It's BTS, like, but kind of brought forward, like that is like the real stuff.
00:44:45.360 --> 00:44:46.480
No, we're cutting that bit out.
00:44:46.559 --> 00:44:49.920
So I was like, damn, it is what it is, but I still got the clip.
00:44:50.159 --> 00:44:52.719
Yeah, I was gonna say you still have a common.
00:44:53.440 --> 00:44:55.440
Obviously, I can't post it because then I'll be burning bridges.
00:44:55.519 --> 00:44:59.199
But if if anyone ever goes, oh, I'll be like, Yeah, yeah, yeah, like look here, yeah.
00:44:59.280 --> 00:45:01.199
You can't, yeah, the evidence is right here.
00:45:01.519 --> 00:45:02.400
Yeah, so yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:45:02.800 --> 00:45:03.119
Wow.
00:45:03.280 --> 00:45:12.000
Um, and I bumped into him again after that silver stone one year when he's just like walking his dog, and I just ran over and be like, sign my hat, sign my hat, and it's like it's like yeah, yeah, yeah, sign it.
00:45:12.079 --> 00:45:13.760
And it's like, cool.
00:45:14.320 --> 00:45:29.440
But what a guy is such a I think it's just like um aura personified, like amazing aura, like it's just this guy, does everything yeah surfing, like uh skydiving, horse riding.
00:45:29.599 --> 00:45:32.239
I've seen that clip of him doing the rounds of like shooting.
00:45:32.480 --> 00:45:52.960
No, and it's like he was in somewhere in America, uh, out back somewhere, and it was just like bam, bam, bam, bam, did the shot, and everyone's just like, Whoa, that's amazing! Like, I think it's just got the genes to be greatness, just yeah, he's just wherever he touches greatness in everything, it's just crazy, but yeah, it's uh that was a great experience, and then we played uh ping pong as well on that on that thing.
00:45:53.119 --> 00:45:59.199
Um so sorry to interrupt you that even though the show's reminiscent uninterrupted.
00:45:59.440 --> 00:46:01.679
Um first time I've done that, I promise.
00:46:01.760 --> 00:46:03.760
Uh last time, probably not.
00:46:04.239 --> 00:46:13.840
The more and more you speak about Sir Lewis, yeah, the more and more it sounds like you guys are besties and you're about to like literally leave the studio and holler at your boy.
00:46:14.159 --> 00:46:16.320
Like, you never guess why, just trying around you da da da.
00:46:16.719 --> 00:46:18.320
The phone book does not have Sir Lewis in there.
00:46:18.480 --> 00:46:19.199
Let's grab some food.
00:46:19.360 --> 00:46:22.079
It doesn't, it doesn't sound like it yet, yes.
00:46:22.159 --> 00:46:22.960
Let's manifest that.
00:46:23.039 --> 00:46:25.360
It sounds like it does, but no, no, but wow.
00:46:25.599 --> 00:46:29.280
Well, yeah, it's it's it's uh it's an amazing experience, full start.
00:46:29.440 --> 00:46:32.320
I think um I'm always grateful for those for experiences like that.
00:46:32.400 --> 00:46:38.159
Like even if I stop doing what I do today, there's stuff that I can look back to and be like, oh yeah, we've come from somewhere and we we did that.
00:46:38.239 --> 00:46:46.559
That's uh bro, you've done amazing things, like where you've got up to now and who you've been able to um uh interview, like yeah, and the brands you've worked with.
00:46:46.639 --> 00:46:48.800
I've I've seen it, I'm watching it all the time, but I haven't seen it.
00:46:48.880 --> 00:46:49.360
It's crazy.
00:46:49.440 --> 00:46:50.880
And I love I love that for you.
00:46:51.039 --> 00:46:51.840
I love that for you.
00:46:51.920 --> 00:46:53.599
Yeah, um, what I was gonna say.
00:46:53.760 --> 00:46:54.239
Thank you.
00:46:54.719 --> 00:46:58.719
What has been your apart from Sir Lewis?
00:46:58.880 --> 00:47:02.639
What would you say has been your highlight of of journalism?
00:47:04.000 --> 00:47:05.920
Well, that's tough because I've done so much.
00:47:06.400 --> 00:47:08.719
I was gonna say it's back to back here and there.
00:47:08.800 --> 00:47:16.239
That's like is there anything that comes to mind when the first thing that came to mind maybe when I asked that question after Sir Lewis?
00:47:16.480 --> 00:47:17.119
Uh oh.
00:47:18.000 --> 00:47:20.400
Well, there might be something that's better than Sir Lewis.
00:47:20.480 --> 00:47:22.480
I mean, I can't, I don't imagine what it might be.
00:47:22.800 --> 00:47:26.079
Honestly, it's tough because I've I've done so much.
00:47:26.320 --> 00:47:32.320
Um a lot of them, you know, like sometimes like I'm a I'm an avid user of uh Google Photos, right?
00:47:32.480 --> 00:47:37.039
And I don't even know why I'm saying this, but anyway, when people say, Oh, have you been to XYZ before?
00:47:37.199 --> 00:47:39.039
And I'm just like, I'm not sure.
00:47:39.119 --> 00:47:39.760
I think I have.
00:47:39.920 --> 00:47:42.239
I have to go through Google Photos and such that location.
00:47:42.400 --> 00:47:42.639
Wow.
00:47:42.800 --> 00:47:44.400
And be like, yeah, yeah, I've been there before.
00:47:44.480 --> 00:47:46.320
Then all my memories about that place come back.
00:47:46.480 --> 00:47:48.000
Is that how well traveled you are?
00:47:48.239 --> 00:47:52.079
That's how much travel I've done, but not because I'm like, hey, I travel a lot.
00:47:52.800 --> 00:47:58.400
Because like all my whether it's a car launch event, whether it's uh a new phone launch event, a lot of this brands do it abroad.
00:47:58.480 --> 00:47:58.719
Yes.
00:47:58.880 --> 00:48:06.320
So that's why we get to travel so much, but because it all a lot of the time is not for fun, it's literally in and out, in and out.
00:48:06.400 --> 00:48:10.000
Well, I'm there for like a day and I go to this location, it's beautiful, go back home, whatever.
00:48:10.159 --> 00:48:15.679
So you don't really get to have a concrete memory of it because you didn't spend enough time there or you didn't go back again.
00:48:15.920 --> 00:48:17.519
So they have to go back and look at it like that.
00:48:17.760 --> 00:48:26.480
So when it comes to the journalism thing, um I've seen I've spoken to so many people, I've seen so many things and interacted with so many whatever CEOs and etc.
00:48:26.719 --> 00:48:26.960
etc.
00:48:27.199 --> 00:48:27.599
Yeah.
00:48:27.920 --> 00:48:30.559
But not many, I don't know, I just can't.
00:48:30.639 --> 00:48:33.360
Maybe one of them is like speaking to the next Apple CEO.
00:48:33.760 --> 00:48:37.360
Okay, when we were doing it, we didn't know that it was gonna be the CEO yet.
00:48:37.440 --> 00:48:37.840
I see.
00:48:38.079 --> 00:48:45.119
So I see going back to be like, I had that interaction with this guy and is now the CEO of Big Apple, that's insane.
00:48:45.360 --> 00:48:46.719
Just asking the question, yeah, yeah.
00:48:46.880 --> 00:48:51.760
And again, that's even one of the content pieces of content where I thought, this ain't gonna fly, no one cares about this sort of stuff.
00:48:51.840 --> 00:48:52.559
And it did really well.
00:48:52.639 --> 00:48:54.320
And I was just like, oh, that's that's kind of cool.
00:48:54.480 --> 00:48:55.199
And I surprised.
00:48:55.440 --> 00:49:02.559
Um but one of the stories that stick to mind is when I started out, uh, still back in Birmingham and the Gadget Show.
00:49:02.639 --> 00:49:03.760
I don't know if you remember the gadget show.
00:49:04.079 --> 00:49:04.480
Oh, yes.
00:49:04.559 --> 00:49:05.039
I do actually.
00:49:05.199 --> 00:49:07.599
You should have the gadget show live in Birmingham at any NEC.
00:49:07.679 --> 00:49:09.199
I don't even know if it's called NEC anymore.
00:49:09.280 --> 00:49:11.119
Uh um, it's probably called something else.
00:49:11.280 --> 00:49:14.719
I've uh quick quick quick fact check.
00:49:14.800 --> 00:49:20.800
I'm sure I feel like kind of a big conglomerate that bought it and called it something else.
00:49:20.960 --> 00:49:22.400
Yeah, still there, still there, still there.
00:49:22.480 --> 00:49:24.639
NEC, um National Exhibition Centre.
00:49:24.880 --> 00:49:25.760
Okay, yeah.
00:49:26.159 --> 00:49:28.960
So used to be at um NEC back then.
00:49:29.360 --> 00:49:33.360
Um and I remember walking around with my one of my really good friends, Phil.
00:49:33.519 --> 00:49:35.679
Um, I said, yeah, let's go film it.
00:49:35.760 --> 00:49:39.519
I want to do a top 10 um gadgets at Gadget Show to check out.
00:49:39.679 --> 00:49:40.320
Yeah, ma'am.
00:49:40.559 --> 00:49:46.559
And uh Ortiz back then, legend, um, celebrity to me, like big time.
00:49:46.639 --> 00:49:51.440
Um, I was like, we need to, if we can get one of the gadget show life people on there, it'd be amazing.
00:49:51.599 --> 00:49:54.400
So Phil's like, yeah, my brother knows him very well, we're gonna meet up with him.
00:49:54.480 --> 00:49:55.280
I was like, great.
00:49:55.360 --> 00:50:02.559
So he went, he came from rehearsal, came back from backstage, chat to us for a bit, couldn't really film him, but it was really nice to meet him in person.
00:50:02.639 --> 00:50:03.760
I was like, this is sick.
00:50:03.920 --> 00:50:04.639
Nice anyway.
00:50:04.880 --> 00:50:11.039
Walked around, started filming, start filming, filming, filming, and then one of my mates who's moved to uh Abu Dhabi now, he was with me.
00:50:11.199 --> 00:50:18.960
So he went to a stand and uh I don't know if Dion Dublin legendary villa black former villa black mate, uh yes, yeah, yeah.
00:50:19.360 --> 00:50:22.000
So he was there at one of the stands doing this.
00:50:22.079 --> 00:50:29.760
Um, I think he had I can't remember what product it was that he had back then, but anyway, we had to look at his stand, and then someone from his stand was like, you know, 50 cents coming today.
00:50:29.840 --> 00:50:31.360
I'm a massive 50 cent fan, right?
00:50:31.519 --> 00:50:32.880
Okay, they're like 50 cents coming here.
00:50:32.960 --> 00:50:35.760
I was like, why would 50 cent come all the way to Birmingham?
00:50:36.000 --> 00:50:37.679
Like, yeah, guys, come on.
00:50:38.000 --> 00:50:42.320
The guy's like, no, seriously, it's gonna be at uh stage what let's just say stage two.
00:50:43.039 --> 00:50:44.960
So I was like, okay, fine.
00:50:45.519 --> 00:50:47.840
You took his word for it, we're here anyway, let's go see.
00:50:48.400 --> 00:50:53.280
Walk to stage two, out of nowhere, they started doing this.
00:50:53.360 --> 00:50:55.760
Is when he had his brand SMS Audio headphones.
00:50:56.000 --> 00:51:06.480
Okay, and they were like, Yeah, yeah, they started arranging the place and the 50 Cent rocks up, like V VS chain sparkling light, yeah, god knows.
00:51:07.119 --> 00:51:12.800
And I was just like, Wow, M Kwan, V57 is here, yeah.
00:51:12.960 --> 00:51:13.440
This is insane.
00:51:13.679 --> 00:51:14.159
Insanity.
00:51:14.960 --> 00:51:16.559
Do you listen to his music crazy back then as well?
00:51:16.800 --> 00:51:22.480
Oh, I grew up on 50, like before get rich of that, try and exit, trying to like mixtape.
00:51:23.039 --> 00:51:23.760
Mixtape days.
00:51:23.920 --> 00:51:24.239
Wow.
00:51:24.400 --> 00:51:26.960
Um, and I was like, this is insane.
00:51:27.119 --> 00:51:29.039
My brain how it works, be me, be me.
00:51:29.119 --> 00:51:30.320
I was like, I need to speak to this guy.
00:51:30.400 --> 00:51:30.719
I need to.
00:51:31.039 --> 00:51:31.280
You know what?
00:51:31.440 --> 00:51:36.239
That's a really admirable and like insane quality to have.
00:51:36.400 --> 00:51:41.760
A lot of people in that situation would be like, would freeze naturally and be like, oh my god, I can't believe it.
00:51:41.840 --> 00:51:43.280
And then just the moment would pass them by.
00:51:43.519 --> 00:51:43.760
That's it.
00:51:43.920 --> 00:51:46.559
The fact that you are so you said it numerous times.
00:51:47.039 --> 00:51:50.400
The fact that you're so, yes, oh my god, I need to speak to that person.
00:51:50.480 --> 00:51:51.119
Yeah, yeah.
00:51:51.440 --> 00:51:53.199
A lot of people can just learn from that.
00:51:53.280 --> 00:51:54.079
That's an amazing quality.
00:51:54.880 --> 00:51:55.280
I was just there.
00:51:55.360 --> 00:52:00.000
I was just like, I'm never gonna see this guy like this again, potentially, not up close.
00:52:00.159 --> 00:52:02.719
I need to do something, make something up this situation.
00:52:02.960 --> 00:52:08.239
Anyway, it was in the rounds, like walking around with his headphones for like journalists to take the photos and whatnot.
00:52:08.400 --> 00:52:10.159
So it got around to where we were.
00:52:10.400 --> 00:52:12.880
So I shouted, I was like, I didn't know what to call him.
00:52:12.960 --> 00:52:14.480
Is he 50 or 50 or like whatever?
00:52:14.559 --> 00:52:16.960
Yeah, so in my head, I was like, Curtis, Mr.
00:52:17.119 --> 00:52:17.519
Jackson.
00:52:17.679 --> 00:52:18.480
I said, eff it.
00:52:18.559 --> 00:52:19.519
I'm just gonna go fiddy.
00:52:19.599 --> 00:52:21.440
So I was like, Fiddy, fiddie.
00:52:21.679 --> 00:52:23.599
Um, I run a YouTube channel.
00:52:23.679 --> 00:52:28.159
Can you say um it should like just say tell people to subscribe to my channel?
00:52:28.400 --> 00:52:33.360
So in my head, I was like, I'm gonna put that on every the end of every video, okay, or whatever that's outro, and then yeah, you're set.
00:52:33.440 --> 00:52:34.719
It's 50 cent teleview, yeah.
00:52:35.039 --> 00:52:40.639
And then he went, of course, man, it's like, oh, it's your boy Fiddy Cent, subscribe to the Gadgets Boy uh YouTube channel.
00:52:40.719 --> 00:52:44.400
And I was holding the camera like this, you know, the meme of the the the old guy doing this.
00:52:44.480 --> 00:52:46.400
Yeah, it was just me with my camera going.
00:52:46.719 --> 00:52:48.000
Oh, snap.
00:52:48.239 --> 00:52:50.880
So then I looked at M Corn, I was like, right, let's go.
00:52:50.960 --> 00:52:53.360
Yeah, I'm thinking, yeah, you're done, you've won.
00:52:53.760 --> 00:52:56.800
As we were walking past, I was like, oh, that's so sick.
00:52:57.039 --> 00:52:59.039
I've like looked back and see.
00:52:59.679 --> 00:53:00.800
I didn't press record.
00:53:03.039 --> 00:53:05.840
So I said to him, I was like, no, I'm going back.
00:53:06.000 --> 00:53:06.480
I'm going back.
00:53:06.639 --> 00:53:07.119
You went back?
00:53:07.199 --> 00:53:08.800
I said, he's still there, I'm going back.
00:53:09.039 --> 00:53:09.840
He goes, bro.
00:53:09.920 --> 00:53:12.159
I said, no, no, this will never happen again.
00:53:12.239 --> 00:53:12.880
I'm going back.
00:53:13.039 --> 00:53:14.800
So I've gone back to the stage.
00:53:14.960 --> 00:53:16.400
Luckily, we're still there.
00:53:16.800 --> 00:53:19.840
And imagine we were here when I spoke to him, he's now moved to like here.
00:53:19.920 --> 00:53:21.440
So I've ran to like this side.
00:53:21.760 --> 00:53:24.639
Like, yo, Fiddy, Fiddy, I forgot to press record.
00:53:24.719 --> 00:53:25.920
Oh my, could you say it again?
00:53:26.079 --> 00:53:27.039
Bro, this is like.
00:53:27.199 --> 00:53:31.119
And then he looked at me and went, Ah, who do you work for?
00:53:31.360 --> 00:53:34.239
I'm gonna tell everyone to never ever watch Gadget's Boy again.
00:53:34.559 --> 00:53:35.360
Then he went, God.
00:53:35.519 --> 00:53:36.480
He went, I'm only joking.
00:53:36.559 --> 00:53:39.920
It's your boy Fiddy, subscribe to Gadget's Boy, and I just cracked up laughing.
00:53:40.000 --> 00:53:43.199
Like my whole being was just like, This is perfect.
00:53:43.440 --> 00:53:44.079
Oh, yeah, okay.
00:53:44.480 --> 00:53:46.000
And I just turned around, I went back to my boy.
00:53:46.079 --> 00:53:47.920
I was like, nice.
00:53:48.559 --> 00:53:51.599
Bro, I thought that was gonna be a story of heartbreak.
00:53:51.760 --> 00:53:53.280
You had me in the first half.
00:53:54.079 --> 00:53:59.679
So, like, yeah, that was my first experience of like being close approximately 50%, which made it even better.
00:53:59.760 --> 00:54:03.920
Because like, you know, when people say never meet your um never meet your idols, never meet your idols or heroes or whatever.
00:54:04.159 --> 00:54:05.199
And I was just like, What a guy.
00:54:05.280 --> 00:54:06.880
I was like, What a guy.
00:54:08.000 --> 00:54:19.840
I don't think I would have had the courage to go back once once I would have seen that I didn't press record, my heart would have sank and I would have just I would have just sat on the side and just cried.
00:54:19.920 --> 00:54:21.760
I think I would have just been devastated.
00:54:22.159 --> 00:54:33.920
Even if he was still there, I think I would have been so sad because I already managed to pluck up the courage, conjure up the courage to go to him in the first place, yeah, yeah.
00:54:34.159 --> 00:54:37.599
Or to shout to him just from afar and be like, 50, can you just yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:54:37.920 --> 00:54:42.639
Bro, to not press the record button, I would have shattered him to pieces, bro.
00:54:42.960 --> 00:54:43.920
But I'm glad you went back.
00:54:44.159 --> 00:54:45.119
Oh, I had to go back.
00:54:45.280 --> 00:54:49.440
I had to go back because in my head, I was like, there's no way this is gonna happen again.
00:54:51.280 --> 00:54:52.880
The moment of seeing him or you not present recording?
00:54:53.199 --> 00:54:54.719
Moment of seeing both, but if you're not.
00:54:54.800 --> 00:55:01.360
Like, yeah, moment of having someone like that that you look up to being in front of you like that, yeah, and just having that moment.
00:55:01.679 --> 00:55:14.079
I'm just like, yeah, and mind you, I've like, since then I've met so many people, like in the government or like CEOs or like what that I just like, hey, just do you know what I mean?
00:55:14.320 --> 00:55:31.360
Because you is that because you obviously like that 50 on the on the pedestal up here and then Yeah, because I've also I'm not a um I don't really I I don't understand celebrity culture, so I'm not someone who's like if I see someone across the room, I don't run over to be like, oh my god, like I'm just like, oh that person was there, like cool.
00:55:31.440 --> 00:55:33.039
They're just to me, they're just another person.
00:55:33.199 --> 00:55:34.320
They are, it's true.
00:55:34.480 --> 00:55:35.679
Um third time there.
00:55:35.840 --> 00:55:36.000
Yeah?
00:55:36.159 --> 00:55:37.280
If you ask my third time.
00:55:37.440 --> 00:55:38.400
If I see him again, yeah.
00:55:38.480 --> 00:55:42.239
If you if we do the same, yeah, if you miss out twice, we just I would go back again.
00:55:42.719 --> 00:55:43.280
I've got it, yeah.
00:55:43.360 --> 00:55:44.480
As long as it's in that same building.
00:55:45.679 --> 00:55:46.880
I could learn something from this guy, you know.
00:55:46.960 --> 00:55:48.079
This this perseverance here.
00:55:48.400 --> 00:55:49.440
Listen, I will do it.
00:55:49.599 --> 00:55:57.119
And like there's certain there's been people I've taken photos with celebrities with, picture with, that I've just done because I know that people won't believe it.
00:55:57.360 --> 00:55:57.920
Right, okay.
00:55:58.559 --> 00:55:59.440
Rather than I need to.
00:56:00.960 --> 00:56:02.639
You personally, you're not gassed, but you know the.
00:56:03.199 --> 00:56:04.880
I met Kanye in a bathroom.
00:56:05.440 --> 00:56:07.280
Wow, that was wild.
00:56:07.440 --> 00:56:09.199
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:56:09.920 --> 00:56:12.400
Did you stop to speak to him?
00:56:12.639 --> 00:56:16.800
So obviously, bathroom culture, I'm not talking to you while we're both peeing, right?
00:56:16.960 --> 00:56:17.119
Right.
00:56:17.199 --> 00:56:19.360
Did you you just get peeing next to me?
00:56:20.159 --> 00:56:20.880
Were you first?
00:56:21.119 --> 00:56:21.679
I was first.
00:56:21.840 --> 00:56:22.639
He walks in.
00:56:22.800 --> 00:56:24.000
And then he pulls up next to you.
00:56:24.159 --> 00:56:24.960
Yeah, right next to you.
00:56:25.280 --> 00:56:27.360
Right next to me, you're rhinos, and I was just there.
00:56:27.599 --> 00:56:28.239
What the fuck?
00:56:28.480 --> 00:56:29.679
I've looked to my right.
00:56:29.760 --> 00:56:32.400
I thought, I might see things.
00:56:33.039 --> 00:56:34.639
He's he's Kanye, no?
00:56:34.880 --> 00:56:36.400
Anyway, I walked back out.
00:56:36.639 --> 00:56:40.719
This was at uh I was I was it was a layover at uh in ATL.
00:56:41.440 --> 00:56:47.920
And uh the guy, I walked out, the guy looked at me when because he saw my face, he knew what I was like, my face was baffled.
00:56:48.159 --> 00:56:48.320
Okay.
00:56:48.480 --> 00:56:50.000
He looked at me when, yeah, it was Kanye.
00:56:50.079 --> 00:56:51.280
I was just on the flight with him.
00:56:51.440 --> 00:56:54.239
And I was like, no, if I wow, excuse my language.
00:56:54.320 --> 00:56:58.320
And then I knew and then I I then ran over, I was like, let me get this picture.
00:56:58.400 --> 00:57:01.679
Because if I tell these people this story, they'll just be like, mate, yeah, whatever.
00:57:02.800 --> 00:57:03.920
I saw Michael Jackson too.
00:57:04.000 --> 00:57:05.119
Yeah, that's what they'll say.
00:57:05.280 --> 00:57:08.480
So I've run over and say, I said, yo, Kanye, can I get a quick selfie with you?
00:57:08.559 --> 00:57:10.079
And he was like, Yeah, of course, man.
00:57:10.239 --> 00:57:15.199
And then he does his resting DVs like resting, yeah.
00:57:15.440 --> 00:57:17.840
No one's got a uh a resting bitch face like Kanye was.
00:57:23.199 --> 00:57:25.360
I was like, so this is so Kanye coded.
00:57:25.599 --> 00:57:27.360
It is and I was like, sounds just like him.
00:57:27.519 --> 00:57:32.000
But like, yeah, there's moments where you go, Yeah, I met this person, but it's just another person.
00:57:32.159 --> 00:57:34.880
But I'll take the picture just because someone's gonna go, What's the evidence?
00:57:34.960 --> 00:57:38.000
Then I'll be like, There, nice.
00:57:38.320 --> 00:57:39.760
Yeah, that never went online again.
00:57:39.840 --> 00:57:41.679
I didn't it wasn't posted or anything.
00:57:42.000 --> 00:57:47.519
Is it because well obviously you weren't gassed exactly by a scene, Kanye, but you just had it just cuz just because, yeah.
00:57:47.679 --> 00:57:52.159
So but when that moment arises when someone's like, Oh my god, I listen to it.
00:57:52.400 --> 00:57:54.239
There are a few people like 50 Cen's one of them.
00:57:54.320 --> 00:57:59.760
Like if I meet 50 Cent outside now, I'm getting video, photo, inviting him to my studio.
00:57:59.920 --> 00:58:03.440
Let's go, everything I can, and it'll be all over my social media manifesting, bro.
00:58:03.679 --> 00:58:04.320
Yeah, within two minutes.
00:58:04.639 --> 00:58:06.639
I hope, I hope that's what happens, bro.
00:58:06.800 --> 00:58:09.199
Yeah, I'd be like, Yeah, my boy, 50.
00:58:11.840 --> 00:58:20.159
I have a general knowledge quiz of F1, and I see how much you're into F1, both you and Temi.
00:58:20.480 --> 00:58:21.280
Shout out to Temi again.
00:58:21.360 --> 00:58:28.880
Big up Temmie, and I just think to myself, you guys know your stuff, but how much do you really know your stuff?
00:58:28.960 --> 00:58:36.639
So I just put a little something together, just you know, I whether you get zero or ten, like it's my memory for this one.
00:58:37.039 --> 00:58:38.000
Yeah, your memory is fine.
00:58:38.239 --> 00:58:43.920
I mean, I'm obviously gonna like clip it and send it to Temi and be like, This is your guy, but like this is your king?
00:58:44.079 --> 00:58:44.400
Yeah, yeah.
00:58:46.559 --> 00:58:48.159
Okay, cool.
00:58:48.480 --> 00:58:50.000
Right, are you ready?
00:58:50.239 --> 00:58:51.119
Let's go.
00:58:52.480 --> 00:58:57.360
Which driver won the Formula One World Drivers Championship Championship in 2021?
00:58:59.199 --> 00:59:01.119
2021, what year are we in 2026?
00:59:01.280 --> 00:59:02.880
2021 would have been Lewis now.
00:59:07.360 --> 00:59:08.400
Incorrect.
00:59:08.880 --> 00:59:09.280
Jeez.
00:59:09.599 --> 00:59:10.559
Wait, let me think.
00:59:10.800 --> 00:59:13.840
2021 that's post-COVID.
00:59:14.400 --> 00:59:14.960
Yep.
00:59:15.280 --> 00:59:18.960
Uh it would have been Max that's to happen.
00:59:19.199 --> 00:59:19.440
Correct.
00:59:19.599 --> 00:59:20.559
Yes, max was max.
00:59:21.280 --> 00:59:29.119
So these are multiple choice, but I'm seeing how you fare first before I allow it to turn into multiple choices.
00:59:29.280 --> 00:59:34.159
We intervened with uh quiz of the year with one guy at one time, and we're both like, we don't know.
00:59:34.320 --> 00:59:36.000
Oh was it yes and F1, of course.
00:59:36.239 --> 00:59:36.800
F1, yeah, yeah.
00:59:37.360 --> 00:59:42.079
Well, I feel like there's something about being in the quiz environment that your brain just goes black.
00:59:42.320 --> 00:59:42.880
Oh, yeah, of course.
00:59:42.960 --> 00:59:43.440
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:59:43.519 --> 00:59:45.440
It's like be going stood in for an exam.
00:59:45.519 --> 00:59:53.039
You've the knowledge is there, but as soon as uh as soon as you you the the doors close behind you and everyone is looking and everyone's around, like it pens are out and it's like, oh damn.
00:59:53.199 --> 00:59:55.119
You're like, I know that like I know that one.
00:59:55.199 --> 00:59:57.039
Yeah, but not in the moment, but anyway.
00:59:57.360 --> 00:59:59.119
Happens all the time, happens, bro.
00:59:59.440 --> 01:00:00.400
Alright.
01:00:01.599 --> 01:00:05.599
Which team made its Formula One debut in the 2026 season?
01:00:05.920 --> 01:00:11.920
Oh, there's there's uh Audi, there's Cadillac, um I feel like there's one more.
01:00:12.559 --> 01:00:13.760
No, no, it's just the two.
01:00:14.320 --> 01:00:20.159
Uh there's one one took over from Kicks Alba, which is Audi, and Cadillac was like the fresh, fresh team.
01:00:20.400 --> 01:00:20.559
Correct.
01:00:20.800 --> 01:00:21.760
Cadillac, fresh.
01:00:22.079 --> 01:00:22.639
Yeah, ma'am.
01:00:22.960 --> 01:00:28.480
At which circuit did Pierre Gasly claim his maiden Formula One victory in 2020?
01:00:31.440 --> 01:00:32.880
It's not Monaco, is it?
01:00:33.440 --> 01:00:33.760
No.
01:00:34.079 --> 01:00:35.199
What what are the choices?
01:00:35.440 --> 01:00:36.239
So A.
01:00:36.480 --> 01:00:37.280
We've got we've got there.
01:00:37.440 --> 01:00:37.760
We've got it.
01:00:37.840 --> 01:00:39.039
It's question three, we've got multiple choices.
01:00:39.280 --> 01:00:41.519
I remember the track image in my head.
01:00:41.760 --> 01:00:42.559
But yeah, go on.
01:00:42.800 --> 01:00:48.960
A Monza, B, Silverstone, C, Spa, D, Imola.
01:00:49.840 --> 01:00:50.800
It's not Imola.
01:00:50.960 --> 01:00:52.880
I think it's either spa or Monza.
01:00:55.039 --> 01:00:55.920
5050?
01:00:56.400 --> 01:00:56.480
Yeah.
01:00:56.800 --> 01:00:57.199
Call a friend.
01:01:00.960 --> 01:01:02.480
Oh Monza.
01:01:02.800 --> 01:01:04.079
Let me let me double down on Monza.
01:01:04.559 --> 01:01:04.639
Yeah.
01:01:04.880 --> 01:01:05.599
W is Monza.
01:01:05.679 --> 01:01:05.920
Yeah, yeah.
01:01:06.079 --> 01:01:06.239
Correct.
01:01:06.400 --> 01:01:07.280
I think it was Monza, yeah.
01:01:07.440 --> 01:01:08.800
I remember that track in my head.
01:01:08.880 --> 01:01:10.719
I can just see the track image in my head.
01:01:10.880 --> 01:01:11.280
Nice.
01:01:11.440 --> 01:01:11.760
Yeah.
01:01:13.679 --> 01:01:17.119
Actually, on that, how many F1 tracks have you travelled to?
01:01:17.440 --> 01:01:18.079
Oh, not many.
01:01:18.159 --> 01:01:23.679
I've been to uh uh Monaco, uh obviously Silverstone and Barcelona one.
01:01:23.840 --> 01:01:24.079
Yeah.
01:01:24.239 --> 01:01:26.000
I feel like there's another one, but I can't remember.
01:01:26.239 --> 01:01:28.239
But they're the three that I know for sure I've been to.
01:01:28.559 --> 01:01:28.800
Yeah, yeah.
01:01:28.880 --> 01:01:29.840
I wish I could do more.
01:01:30.320 --> 01:01:30.880
Of course.
01:01:31.280 --> 01:01:34.480
How does it feel being at Monaco?
01:01:34.639 --> 01:01:36.800
It looks oh Monaco's insane.
01:01:36.960 --> 01:01:38.400
It looks like a dream when you is.
01:01:38.480 --> 01:01:38.880
It's insane.
01:01:38.960 --> 01:01:40.480
No one goes there to watch a race.
01:01:40.719 --> 01:01:43.840
No, it's it's hard to see the whole track properly.
01:01:44.000 --> 01:01:45.519
Well, yeah, yeah, depending on where you are.
01:01:45.599 --> 01:01:51.119
But I think because Monaco is such a a show, a bit like Vegas.
01:01:51.280 --> 01:01:52.320
Everything else around it, right?
01:01:52.639 --> 01:01:55.760
Everything else around it is going on, like there's mingling and all this stuff.
01:01:55.840 --> 01:02:00.480
So it doesn't really get serious unless something happens, and then everyone goes, Okay, okay kind of thing.
01:02:00.639 --> 01:02:03.360
But otherwise everyone's drinking their champagne, just having a good time.
01:02:03.920 --> 01:02:05.599
So showy and so pretentious.
01:02:06.400 --> 01:02:11.840
It's not, it's it's one of the tracks, it's one of the actually most boring tracks for me to watch on TV.
01:02:12.159 --> 01:02:20.800
Which does make sense because they say whoever wins qualifying should win because you just can't overtake it in.
01:02:21.199 --> 01:02:27.440
Even with the the cars are slightly small in width, but still they can't they can't overtake just like that.
01:02:28.320 --> 01:02:29.280
Interesting.
01:02:30.480 --> 01:02:34.960
Question number four Who became Ferrari's team principal at the start of the 2023 season?
01:02:35.199 --> 01:02:35.840
Oh my god.
01:02:36.079 --> 01:02:37.599
This is a medium difficulty.
01:02:38.400 --> 01:02:40.159
See, I I remember his face again.
01:02:40.639 --> 01:02:41.599
Because I know he left.
01:02:41.679 --> 01:02:43.599
Uh obviously left before Fred.
01:02:44.079 --> 01:02:46.000
But uh, what are the choices?
01:02:46.320 --> 01:02:51.440
A is Matteo Binotto, B, Frederick Vasure, C, Andrea Siloto.
01:02:52.079 --> 01:02:52.239
Yeah?
01:02:52.320 --> 01:02:52.480
Yeah.
01:02:53.280 --> 01:02:53.360
No.
01:02:53.519 --> 01:02:54.079
What's the other one?
01:02:54.639 --> 01:02:58.880
Frederick Vassure or um James Vowels.
01:02:59.360 --> 01:02:59.920
It's Fred.
01:03:02.079 --> 01:03:02.960
Why do you think he came on later?
01:03:03.119 --> 01:03:04.000
Fred Vassure, yeah.
01:03:04.400 --> 01:03:04.559
B.
01:03:04.800 --> 01:03:05.199
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:03:06.719 --> 01:03:08.079
Close, close, close, close.
01:03:08.239 --> 01:03:10.960
Um the other guy that I said before him.
01:03:11.679 --> 01:03:12.320
He was there before.
01:03:12.480 --> 01:03:12.639
Yeah.
01:03:12.880 --> 01:03:13.599
Okay, okay, okay.
01:03:13.840 --> 01:03:14.000
Yeah.
01:03:14.320 --> 01:03:15.760
So I remember his glasses.
01:03:17.199 --> 01:03:23.920
Which driver famously won the 2020 Sakia Grand Prix after replacing Lewis Hamilton at short notice?
01:03:24.880 --> 01:03:25.840
He won a Grand Prix.
01:03:26.480 --> 01:03:27.360
What are the options?
01:03:28.239 --> 01:03:28.559
A.
01:03:29.440 --> 01:03:30.480
Nick DeVries.
01:03:30.800 --> 01:03:32.159
B George Russell.
01:03:32.480 --> 01:03:36.079
C, Esteban O'Connor D, uh Nico Holkenberg.
01:03:38.880 --> 01:03:39.840
Has to be George.
01:03:40.800 --> 01:03:41.199
He's the only person.
01:03:42.559 --> 01:03:43.519
The other ones have a race.
01:03:43.679 --> 01:03:44.000
Yeah.
01:03:44.719 --> 01:03:45.360
I say this.
01:03:45.679 --> 01:03:47.199
You've got to you've got to get this one.
01:03:47.440 --> 01:03:47.760
Cool.
01:03:48.000 --> 01:03:48.639
Ws.
01:03:49.039 --> 01:03:50.000
Okay, question six.
01:03:50.159 --> 01:03:53.679
In which year did Oscar Piastri make his Formula One debut?
01:03:54.000 --> 01:03:55.440
Or that one I won't know.
01:03:55.920 --> 01:04:01.760
I didn't follow his career closely until he was deep in McLaren doing great things.
01:04:01.840 --> 01:04:02.639
So I don't yeah.
01:04:02.800 --> 01:04:04.079
I can guess if we give you the option.
01:04:04.239 --> 01:04:05.119
I can try and guess.
01:04:05.440 --> 01:04:07.679
So A 2021.
01:04:08.239 --> 01:04:09.679
B, 2022.
01:04:10.159 --> 01:04:11.840
C 2023.
01:04:11.920 --> 01:04:13.920
Or D 2024.
01:04:15.199 --> 01:04:16.320
2023?
01:04:17.760 --> 01:04:19.360
I think you're really good at guessing, bro.
01:04:19.440 --> 01:04:19.920
Like it didn't.
01:04:20.480 --> 01:04:20.880
Look at this.
01:04:20.960 --> 01:04:21.760
Yeah, look at this.
01:04:22.159 --> 01:04:23.039
He's just killing it.
01:04:23.119 --> 01:04:29.920
Like every single time he answers something, there's a bit of an expression like I know that it's it's like I don't know, third season or fourth season.
01:04:30.079 --> 01:04:30.320
Yeah, yeah.
01:04:30.639 --> 01:04:31.679
So I'm just like, Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:04:31.920 --> 01:04:33.119
Could be could be around that type.
01:04:33.280 --> 01:04:34.159
You're there, you're there, man.
01:04:34.320 --> 01:04:34.960
Ws.
01:04:35.679 --> 01:04:37.920
Um question number seven.
01:04:38.239 --> 01:04:40.079
Do you know what I should have been doing?
01:04:40.639 --> 01:04:44.159
Taking, I think, wait, how many of you got I've got them all right apart from one.
01:04:44.320 --> 01:04:45.440
Yeah, if you've got everything right, but one.
01:04:45.679 --> 01:04:46.000
Yeah.
01:04:46.239 --> 01:04:49.119
Who won the 2024 Monaco Grand Prix?
01:04:49.440 --> 01:04:50.079
2024.
01:04:50.159 --> 01:04:50.239
Yeah.
01:04:51.280 --> 01:04:52.079
2024.
01:04:53.280 --> 01:04:55.039
Uh Charles Leclerc.
01:04:55.840 --> 01:04:56.159
Yeah.
01:04:56.559 --> 01:04:56.960
Let's go.
01:04:57.199 --> 01:04:57.519
Gali.
01:04:57.840 --> 01:04:59.119
Yeah, Ws.
01:04:59.280 --> 01:04:59.920
They smashed it.
01:05:00.559 --> 01:05:01.280
Ws.
01:05:02.880 --> 01:05:03.679
Debate over it.
01:05:03.920 --> 01:05:04.719
Because that's home for him.
01:05:04.880 --> 01:05:05.280
Yeah, it is.
01:05:05.440 --> 01:05:05.519
Yes.
01:05:05.599 --> 01:05:05.920
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:05:06.000 --> 01:05:06.400
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:05:06.639 --> 01:05:06.719
Right.
01:05:07.039 --> 01:05:18.159
Yeah, it was a big deal because I think if I remember correctly in that season, either the race before or I think it would have been the year before at Monaco.
01:05:18.239 --> 01:05:19.039
I think he crashed out.
01:05:19.360 --> 01:05:21.760
Yeah, it was some type of redemption for him.
01:05:22.800 --> 01:05:23.119
That year.
01:05:23.679 --> 01:05:24.000
Big deal.
01:05:24.159 --> 01:05:24.559
I remember that.
01:05:25.039 --> 01:05:25.440
Cool.
01:05:27.039 --> 01:05:28.079
Question number eight.
01:05:28.320 --> 01:05:32.000
Which team won the Constructors Championship in 2022?
01:05:33.199 --> 01:05:35.360
Constructors 2022.
01:05:37.679 --> 01:05:40.719
It's either Mercedes or Red Bull.
01:05:41.599 --> 01:05:42.719
It wasn't McLaren.
01:05:43.679 --> 01:05:44.800
Was it Mercedes?
01:05:45.840 --> 01:05:46.960
It wasn't Mercedes.
01:05:47.360 --> 01:05:47.920
Was it Red Bull?
01:05:48.159 --> 01:05:48.800
It was Red Bull.
01:05:49.440 --> 01:05:51.360
Your luck had to run out at some point, bro.
01:05:51.440 --> 01:05:52.400
You've been cooking so far.
01:05:52.960 --> 01:05:53.519
It wasn't McLaren.
01:05:53.760 --> 01:05:55.440
Is it either Red Bull or Mercedes?
01:05:57.199 --> 01:05:58.159
Question number nine.
01:05:58.320 --> 01:05:59.760
Who became Formula One's youngest?
01:06:00.159 --> 01:06:03.039
Ever Grand Prix winner during the last 10 years.
01:06:04.960 --> 01:06:05.760
Kimi Antonelli.
01:06:08.320 --> 01:06:09.360
Do you know what?
01:06:10.800 --> 01:06:12.639
We might have to fact check that, you know?
01:06:12.800 --> 01:06:13.360
Who did it say?
01:06:13.760 --> 01:06:18.639
Because it's saying Max, but 10 years, including current season.
01:06:18.880 --> 01:06:19.840
Yeah, right now, yeah.
01:06:19.920 --> 01:06:20.800
I'm not a kid.
01:06:21.280 --> 01:06:22.320
Yeah, wait, wait, wait, wait.
01:06:22.400 --> 01:06:23.920
I think I I do I agree with you.
01:06:24.239 --> 01:06:24.800
Wait.
01:06:25.119 --> 01:06:25.840
How old?
01:06:26.079 --> 01:06:30.559
But also but also Max was really like super young.
01:06:30.800 --> 01:06:34.400
So how he had that crown for a bit before Kimmy.
01:06:34.960 --> 01:06:35.199
Right.
01:06:35.280 --> 01:06:40.719
How old was Max Verstappen when won his first championship?
01:06:42.159 --> 01:06:43.199
How old was Max Verd?
01:06:43.599 --> 01:06:51.039
F1's youngest point score point scorer soon became his youngest race winner at the age of 18 and 228 days.
01:06:51.440 --> 01:06:55.599
Opportunistic but control drive for debut Red Bull in Barcelona 2016.
01:06:55.679 --> 01:06:56.639
Well that was Max.
01:06:57.039 --> 01:07:01.280
So how old was Kimmy Antonelli?
01:07:03.679 --> 01:07:07.440
When he won his first championship, how old was Kimmy when he won F1?
01:07:07.840 --> 01:07:09.199
Was able to do the driving test?
01:07:09.599 --> 01:07:15.760
Kimmy Antonelli joined an exclusive club when he captured his first career Formula One victory in the 2026 Chinese Grand Prix.
01:07:15.840 --> 01:07:16.880
So that's this season.
01:07:16.960 --> 01:07:22.320
Yeah at 19 years old and six months dead, so he's Max.
01:07:22.719 --> 01:07:23.039
Okay.
01:07:23.440 --> 01:07:23.920
Wow.
01:07:24.320 --> 01:07:24.719
Yeah.
01:07:24.880 --> 01:07:25.360
Wow.
01:07:25.840 --> 01:07:27.599
Yeah, it is Max.
01:07:28.639 --> 01:07:31.039
Yeah, he's a absolute demon.
01:07:31.360 --> 01:07:33.920
It took me ages to like to like Max.
01:07:35.119 --> 01:07:37.119
But I think I I respect that guy.
01:07:37.199 --> 01:07:38.079
He's such a driver.
01:07:38.320 --> 01:07:42.960
I I respect how you you can't not respect how much of a demon he is in the world.
01:07:44.480 --> 01:07:51.119
I think all is hanky panky aside, I think it's just such a not many drivers can make the most of what they've got.
01:07:51.280 --> 01:07:51.519
Right.
01:07:51.920 --> 01:07:53.199
And still achieve something.
01:07:53.360 --> 01:07:53.519
Yes.
01:07:53.840 --> 01:07:59.039
Like his car can be the worst car, and he still managed to get something.
01:07:59.199 --> 01:07:59.519
Yeah, yeah.
01:07:59.920 --> 01:08:01.599
How does it just crazy?
01:08:01.760 --> 01:08:02.639
It is what a guy.
01:08:02.960 --> 01:08:05.679
You can see it from how many partners he's had.
01:08:05.760 --> 01:08:06.079
Yeah.
01:08:06.400 --> 01:08:09.440
And somebody's new to joining the Red Bull team.
01:08:09.519 --> 01:08:10.159
Okay, cool.
01:08:10.239 --> 01:08:12.960
So I of course each car is different.
01:08:13.039 --> 01:08:15.760
So Max has his car, this is the next Red Bull car.
01:08:17.439 --> 01:08:22.560
However many changes it takes it takes for them, that person to get used to that car is what it is.
01:08:22.880 --> 01:08:31.760
But there has to be something said about how Max is able to do what he can do in a Red Bull and the the next Red Bull next to him.
01:08:31.840 --> 01:08:32.239
Yeah, yeah.
01:08:32.640 --> 01:08:34.239
People are not doing the same thing.
01:08:34.399 --> 01:08:44.319
Yeah, I mean, there are there are all like politics around how you develop your cars and who they develop their cars for, which which has been, I mean, that's what I say.
01:08:44.399 --> 01:08:48.800
I I can say for a fact that the car's been designed for Max for such a long time.
01:08:48.880 --> 01:08:49.119
Right.
01:08:49.279 --> 01:08:50.640
So that's what the issue's always been.
01:08:50.720 --> 01:08:52.720
That's why the other drivers always lack behind.
01:08:53.039 --> 01:09:01.359
I think this season is very good so like Isaac, Agile has been so much better than a lot of the previous partners that they've had.
01:09:01.600 --> 01:09:02.640
So I don't know.
01:09:02.720 --> 01:09:06.000
I think um, but regardless, you can't take that away from him.
01:09:06.079 --> 01:09:20.079
I think Max is just uh you hear some some of the comments on the radio and how he correlates with the comments the the team principal would say or the commentators will say, and you go, yeah, this guy knows like his stuff.
01:09:20.239 --> 01:09:20.640
Yeah, yeah.
01:09:20.800 --> 01:09:21.119
He's crazy.
01:09:21.279 --> 01:09:21.920
He does, he does.
01:09:22.079 --> 01:09:23.199
Yeah, Max is good, man.
01:09:23.359 --> 01:09:24.159
He's good for the sport.
01:09:24.319 --> 01:09:25.520
He's he is great for the sport.
01:09:25.840 --> 01:09:26.960
He'll decide if he was to retire.
01:09:27.279 --> 01:09:28.159
Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, for sure.
01:09:28.239 --> 01:09:29.039
Yeah, for sure.
01:09:29.279 --> 01:09:34.880
I'm looking at how many partners, how many F1 teammates Verstappen has had.
01:09:34.960 --> 01:09:35.520
Yeah.
01:09:35.840 --> 01:09:38.479
Take a guess at how many he's had since 2005.
01:09:38.720 --> 01:09:42.800
He's had Perez, then he had uh I forgot his name, he's left to another team.
01:09:43.439 --> 01:09:45.359
Perez was 2021 to 2024.
01:09:45.520 --> 01:09:45.760
Yeah.
01:09:45.920 --> 01:09:50.079
Uh then he had another guy who's like he was there for like a couple of races before they decided.
01:09:50.880 --> 01:09:52.640
Jury Jury Vips, maybe?
01:09:52.880 --> 01:09:54.479
No, I can't remember his name.
01:09:55.439 --> 01:09:55.840
Albin?
01:09:56.159 --> 01:09:59.680
Alb Albin was yeah, Albin was one of the I I really liked Albin.
01:09:59.920 --> 01:10:03.279
Yeah, and then after Albin was another guy, a younger guy that they had.
01:10:03.520 --> 01:10:04.960
Albin was before Perez.
01:10:05.119 --> 01:10:06.239
Oh, was it before Perez?
01:10:06.319 --> 01:10:06.479
Yep.
01:10:06.720 --> 01:10:07.520
Damn, yep.
01:10:07.680 --> 01:10:08.560
You forget, man.
01:10:08.720 --> 01:10:09.039
You do.
01:10:09.760 --> 01:10:14.239
Albin, Perez, and then another guy who's younger, like Rookie.
01:10:14.479 --> 01:10:15.439
Uh Liam Lawson.
01:10:15.600 --> 01:10:16.159
Liam Lawson.
01:10:16.239 --> 01:10:16.720
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:10:16.880 --> 01:10:19.520
Um, and then after that was uh Flippin' L.
01:10:19.600 --> 01:10:19.920
What's his name?
01:10:20.079 --> 01:10:20.640
Short guy.
01:10:20.800 --> 01:10:21.840
Sorry if that's offensive.
01:10:21.920 --> 01:10:22.319
No, no, no.
01:10:22.560 --> 01:10:23.680
Um is what it is.
01:10:23.760 --> 01:10:27.520
If he's Short Guy's Short Guy, um, I forgot his name.
01:10:27.680 --> 01:10:29.039
Yuki, Yuki Sonoda.
01:10:29.279 --> 01:10:30.079
Yes, yeah.
01:10:30.239 --> 01:10:32.720
That was the last one before Isaac.
01:10:33.600 --> 01:10:38.720
So here I have Isaac from 2023 to 2026.
01:10:38.880 --> 01:10:39.600
Yeah, so current.
01:10:39.760 --> 01:10:42.399
Current, but Yuki did a stint in 2025.
01:10:42.640 --> 01:10:48.159
So Yuki was in and around you Yuki has been.
01:10:48.640 --> 01:10:50.319
Oh, you forget um, what's his name as well?
01:10:50.479 --> 01:10:51.119
That's retired.
01:10:51.279 --> 01:10:51.840
Ricciardo.
01:10:52.000 --> 01:10:52.800
Ricardo, yeah.
01:10:53.039 --> 01:10:53.840
It was another one.
01:10:54.000 --> 01:10:56.239
He was what a personality.
01:10:56.479 --> 01:10:58.079
He was yeah, I love it.
01:10:58.159 --> 01:10:59.039
Did he retire in the end?
01:10:59.119 --> 01:10:59.520
Yeah, yeah.
01:11:00.000 --> 01:11:01.199
Yeah, he just doesn't know.
01:11:01.359 --> 01:11:04.239
He's an ambassador for Ford Motorsport.
01:11:04.479 --> 01:11:05.039
That's a shame.
01:11:05.119 --> 01:11:07.520
Yeah, because he's I would love to interview him.
01:11:07.600 --> 01:11:09.520
Yeah, he's uh he'd be a good laugh.
01:11:09.760 --> 01:11:15.520
He'd be good, it'd be a great conversation because I think he's very open to just talking about his experience.
01:11:15.680 --> 01:11:25.119
Yeah, I think he'd be very real and very down-to-earth guy, he seems I think you get a lot of stories out of him in terms of like even down to the Christmas dinners that they have.
01:11:25.279 --> 01:11:26.560
Yeah, all of those ones.
01:11:27.199 --> 01:11:28.000
Tell me some cool stories, yeah.
01:11:28.159 --> 01:11:28.960
He'll tell you some stuff.
01:11:29.119 --> 01:11:31.119
Yeah, I think yeah, it comes across like that.
01:11:31.439 --> 01:11:37.119
He was, yeah, that that kind of bubbly and and vibrant personality for sure.
01:11:37.359 --> 01:11:43.199
I think he's probably the only one that was able to keep up with Max like for that proper long period of time.
01:11:44.479 --> 01:11:45.279
It's a shame, man.
01:11:46.000 --> 01:11:47.039
Okay, last question.
01:11:47.279 --> 01:11:53.119
I think you've got your currently two wrong two out of two out of nine.
01:11:54.399 --> 01:11:55.039
That's good, bro.
01:11:55.199 --> 01:11:56.000
I think you're doing good.
01:11:56.399 --> 01:11:56.800
Not bad.
01:11:57.039 --> 01:11:58.000
Not bad at all.
01:11:58.399 --> 01:12:02.560
Lewis Hamilton made his Ferrari race debut at the opening round of which season?
01:12:03.119 --> 01:12:04.079
Uh last season.
01:12:04.239 --> 01:12:05.840
So not this correct 2025.
01:12:06.079 --> 01:12:06.239
Correct.
01:12:06.560 --> 01:12:06.800
Yeah, yeah.
01:12:07.039 --> 01:12:07.840
Don't use it.
01:12:07.920 --> 01:12:08.399
Let's go.
01:12:09.840 --> 01:12:10.319
Let's go.
01:12:10.479 --> 01:12:10.960
Let's go.
01:12:11.199 --> 01:12:11.600
Nice.
01:12:11.840 --> 01:12:12.560
GG's.
01:12:12.960 --> 01:12:15.199
Okay, so going back to tech.
01:12:17.520 --> 01:12:20.239
What is one piece of tech that you rely on heavily?
01:12:20.479 --> 01:12:20.960
Heavily.
01:12:21.039 --> 01:12:22.720
Uh if you could just use one.
01:12:23.920 --> 01:12:24.720
It can't be one.
01:12:24.800 --> 01:12:25.600
Can I say two?
01:12:26.479 --> 01:12:27.039
Fine.
01:12:27.600 --> 01:12:28.000
Fine.
01:12:28.239 --> 01:12:28.800
Or three.
01:12:29.039 --> 01:12:30.159
Yeah, we're gonna be here all day.
01:12:30.239 --> 01:12:30.560
I know it.
01:12:30.640 --> 01:12:34.399
No, like I I need my laptop uh because that's where I get my editing done.
01:12:34.880 --> 01:12:39.039
And I need my phone because that's where the communication happens on the go.
01:12:39.279 --> 01:12:41.279
I can't carry my laptop everywhere, you know.
01:12:41.439 --> 01:12:44.079
Um if I had a three, then it would be my camera.
01:12:44.239 --> 01:12:47.840
But the reason why I'm not gonna say three is because I can technically use my phone to film.
01:12:47.920 --> 01:12:48.159
Yep.
01:12:48.319 --> 01:12:50.720
And my mic, plug a microphone in, yeah, good to go.
01:12:50.880 --> 01:12:51.039
Okay.
01:12:51.119 --> 01:12:53.039
Um, but yeah, those are like very important.
01:12:53.279 --> 01:12:53.520
Cool.
01:12:53.680 --> 01:12:54.239
I would say.
01:12:54.479 --> 01:12:56.159
So you have those three.
01:12:57.119 --> 01:13:04.079
What are three gadgets you believe everyone should have, but they probably don't?
01:13:04.720 --> 01:13:05.600
Uh oh.
01:13:07.439 --> 01:13:10.000
This is gonna sound so first world problems.
01:13:10.239 --> 01:13:11.279
But it is what it is.
01:13:11.680 --> 01:13:12.960
If it's first world, it's first world.
01:13:13.039 --> 01:13:14.800
I would say a robot vacuum cleaner.
01:13:15.680 --> 01:13:16.640
I have one.
01:13:17.039 --> 01:13:17.600
Honestly.
01:13:17.840 --> 01:13:18.800
And yeah, do you know what?
01:13:18.880 --> 01:13:19.760
It's actually not bad.
01:13:19.840 --> 01:13:20.479
It's it's alright.
01:13:20.640 --> 01:13:21.199
It's it's alright.
01:13:21.279 --> 01:13:21.760
It does the job.
01:13:21.920 --> 01:13:27.439
My mine mops and does the regular Hoover situation, vacuum situation.
01:13:27.680 --> 01:13:34.079
And the reason why I said everyone should have one is because I'm a firm believer in doing everything that buys back time.
01:13:34.159 --> 01:13:35.760
Oh, it doesn't do a perfect job.
01:13:35.840 --> 01:13:38.880
You still have to do maybe like once a month deep clean kind of thing.
01:13:39.199 --> 01:13:48.000
Yeah, but for the day-to-day, uh I've been away, there's dust everywhere or something, it might be dusty, just remotely get cleaning before I get back home.
01:13:48.159 --> 01:13:49.199
Everything feels fresh.
01:13:49.439 --> 01:13:50.960
Nice, yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:13:51.119 --> 01:13:53.439
Yeah, so it will the rooms, it will.
01:13:53.520 --> 01:13:54.720
Um, what does it use?
01:13:54.880 --> 01:14:00.560
Um, it's got like LIDA sensors and uh vision uh camera for vision as well.
01:14:00.640 --> 01:14:02.000
So it can sense, yeah.
01:14:02.079 --> 01:14:07.439
You can put like magnetic strips down if you don't want it to go to like yeah, it's improved so much, it don't even use that anymore.
01:14:07.520 --> 01:14:10.000
Oh see, yeah, I got like I got the old version.
01:14:11.119 --> 01:14:14.319
They don't need that old thing, they don't need they don't need that anymore, man.
01:14:14.880 --> 01:14:16.880
They know exactly where they are in their house.
01:14:18.479 --> 01:14:19.039
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:14:19.760 --> 01:14:21.520
Yeah, these don't think it's a GTS6 version.
01:14:22.000 --> 01:14:22.319
Cool.
01:14:22.560 --> 01:14:23.199
Damn, all right.
01:14:23.279 --> 01:14:26.479
So what what kind of what tech are they using now for that?
01:14:26.560 --> 01:14:28.319
So the actual proper cameras to see.
01:14:28.640 --> 01:14:35.439
Yeah, camera vision and lighter, some of them use LIDA, some of them don't, but they those combined together means they can map out the room.
01:14:35.600 --> 01:14:39.279
Uh you know, when you set it up, the first time you will map out the everything.
01:14:39.439 --> 01:14:41.920
So they can use that to spot our clothes out of the wall.
01:14:42.239 --> 01:14:44.399
Um, if they see objects, they're now to avoid it.
01:14:44.479 --> 01:14:49.520
So their avoidance algorithms uh so much better now in terms of like the AI that they use as well.
01:14:49.600 --> 01:14:55.279
So he knows every time he goes for a for a mup or vacuum, it will know what's changed in the room, for example.
01:14:55.439 --> 01:14:57.119
So they're very, very, very good.
01:14:57.279 --> 01:15:02.079
Um, even like height on stuff, so like a carpet, you know, get a little reach.
01:15:02.319 --> 01:15:02.560
Yeah, yeah.
01:15:02.720 --> 01:15:07.359
He knows that I'm now dropping or whatever, like to stay away from like my kitchen drops.
01:15:07.439 --> 01:15:07.680
Yeah.
01:15:07.840 --> 01:15:08.960
So he doesn't do the kitchen.
01:15:09.039 --> 01:15:11.039
So he knows that that's the end of that.
01:15:11.119 --> 01:15:14.079
It'll turn back around and carry on the other way.
01:15:14.239 --> 01:15:20.560
And also to know like the like Dyson, they're very good at the technology because they've been doing it for so long, like the particle sizes.
01:15:20.800 --> 01:15:29.600
The the I've been to their lab and like the way they they research particle sizes and different types and surfaces and all that kind of stuff is incredible.
01:15:29.760 --> 01:15:39.920
So you can put like a grain of salt on the floor, you know, the size of that to increase the the suck, okay, the intensity to make sure that that's done.
01:15:40.079 --> 01:15:45.199
Or if you get like something that's stubborn, you know that what that's yeah, yeah, to work out or whatever.
01:15:45.520 --> 01:15:46.079
Yeah, damn.
01:15:46.239 --> 01:15:47.680
So yeah, they they they're super good.
01:15:47.760 --> 01:15:52.319
And like some some of the Chinese brands are doing some ins insane stuff with it as well, including ones that pick up socks.
01:15:52.399 --> 01:15:54.079
So they have like a robot arm that pops out.
01:15:54.239 --> 01:15:56.319
All right, and they're just away, it'll pick it up.
01:15:57.279 --> 01:15:59.520
This is when we start talking, I am legends now.
01:15:59.600 --> 01:16:01.439
That's all I went to, you just see extremes.
01:16:01.600 --> 01:16:08.319
We're talking, we've gone from robots who are just vacuuming, and as soon as you said an arm to pick up a sock, yeah, yeah.
01:16:08.399 --> 01:16:12.399
It's like if you got kids, you know, they they will they might leave something behind.
01:16:12.560 --> 01:16:12.880
Yeah, yeah.
01:16:12.960 --> 01:16:16.000
This will pick it up and put it in a in a basket and Karen did his job.
01:16:16.159 --> 01:16:23.760
You got some that can go up the stairs, so they can they can raise their their wheels enough to like do the stairs and go up the stairs clean as they go along as well.
01:16:24.159 --> 01:16:25.520
It climbs up the stairs, yeah, yeah.
01:16:25.680 --> 01:16:27.279
We'll go up the stairs clean as it goes along.
01:16:28.479 --> 01:16:32.319
My old school thing that I was just talking about with my my my magnetic strip.
01:16:33.279 --> 01:16:34.239
Yeah, I'm way behind.
01:16:34.399 --> 01:16:35.439
But you see, I was way behind.
01:16:35.520 --> 01:16:36.880
Mine stays at the bottom of the stairs.
01:16:37.039 --> 01:16:39.199
I gotta lift that bitch up if I wanted to get to the top of the stairs.
01:16:39.359 --> 01:16:40.479
Yeah, no, this does all that now.
01:16:40.560 --> 01:16:42.880
Like, yeah, it's it it's they've come they've come far.
01:16:43.840 --> 01:16:44.560
Apparently, so bro.
01:16:44.800 --> 01:16:47.279
Different versions, the ones that do pools, like clean your pool.
01:16:47.359 --> 01:16:50.319
They don't do the house, but you can buy like pool robot cleaners, yeah.
01:16:50.640 --> 01:16:55.039
You can get ones that do like window cleaning now, they just like clean the windows for you, kind of thing.
01:16:55.199 --> 01:16:55.760
It's crazy.
01:16:56.079 --> 01:16:57.359
You're trying to relate, yeah.
01:16:58.239 --> 01:16:58.960
Yeah, I'm lit.
01:16:59.119 --> 01:17:01.600
My brain is doing the math right now, trying to relate.
01:17:01.840 --> 01:17:05.840
I've got to all these tech events and shows, like you get to see what they're doing, yeah.
01:17:05.920 --> 01:17:07.359
You what's gonna come out later on.
01:17:07.920 --> 01:17:13.520
A first hand um you get first review and first sight on what tomorrow looks like.
01:17:13.760 --> 01:17:14.399
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:17:14.640 --> 01:17:20.000
I'm hoping in September, like called IFA, and that's all about home appliances and TVs and whatnot.
01:17:20.079 --> 01:17:28.000
And honestly, when you walk through the halls and you see what people are up to, you just go home thinking, man, technology is something.
01:17:28.880 --> 01:17:31.760
My my robot vacuum that stays at the bottom of the stairs, yeah.
01:17:32.000 --> 01:17:35.760
My magnetic strips, wow, it's crazy what people are up to, yeah.
01:17:36.079 --> 01:17:42.800
Oh my word, what's the coolest tech before you get onto your other two um parts of um the gadgets?
01:17:42.960 --> 01:17:46.239
Yeah, your two gadgets that you would recommend that people might not have.
01:17:46.399 --> 01:17:54.560
What's the coolest piece of tech that you've seen that's coming in the future that you may be able to talk about?
01:17:54.880 --> 01:17:57.439
Uh there's one I've seen I can't talk about for sure.
01:17:57.680 --> 01:17:59.199
Um, but that that's exciting.
01:17:59.359 --> 01:18:03.439
It's not that I won't say too much, but it's it's not particularly new.
01:18:03.520 --> 01:18:07.119
Okay it's new for them in the segment, but it's not particularly new.
01:18:07.279 --> 01:18:12.880
But it's amazing how they've re like rethink what that technology is and how it works.
01:18:12.960 --> 01:18:14.319
But that you'll see that soon enough.
01:18:14.479 --> 01:18:16.239
But um China?
01:18:16.720 --> 01:18:18.319
I can't say that would give it away.
01:18:18.399 --> 01:18:20.479
It's China, it's not China, that would give it away.
01:18:21.119 --> 01:18:23.119
It will have some sort of China in there somewhere.
01:18:23.359 --> 01:18:24.640
Um everything does.
01:18:24.800 --> 01:18:34.880
Um but the there's uh there's a company that does a exoskeletal um brace that you wear, attaches to your knees and stuff, but it just allows you to walk for longer.
01:18:35.439 --> 01:18:36.479
Like walk with less effort.
01:18:36.560 --> 01:18:39.680
So if you you can if you go hiking, I've seen it's pretty cool.
01:18:39.760 --> 01:18:41.279
You've seen them about online.
01:18:41.760 --> 01:18:42.000
Yeah, yeah.
01:18:42.079 --> 01:18:44.640
I've seen people like you you can hire them.
01:18:44.720 --> 01:18:45.840
Yeah, you can hire them.
01:18:45.920 --> 01:18:48.159
I've I've seen people hire them and they've done a review, like do a review.
01:18:48.399 --> 01:18:48.479
Okay.
01:18:48.800 --> 01:18:49.920
And and it was for that.
01:18:50.000 --> 01:18:52.479
Um hiking somewhere and like yeah, you put on this extra.
01:18:55.199 --> 01:18:58.000
So you can go hiking with less effort, basically.
01:18:58.319 --> 01:19:04.079
But I love I love tech that's um that kind of tech's good for real-world problems.
01:19:04.239 --> 01:19:06.800
So like people that have yeah, of course, wearing it.
01:19:09.199 --> 01:19:15.920
That helps a lot with them, like older people that might want to go for a hike that can't go for longer, they can wear that and help them, they can go further, for example.
01:19:16.079 --> 01:19:16.560
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:19:16.640 --> 01:19:17.520
So that's pretty cool.
01:19:17.600 --> 01:19:19.199
Um trying to think what else I've seen.
01:19:19.279 --> 01:19:28.479
I think a lot a lot of the other stuff that I like dive into, like all AI-based stuff, they're not hardware, they're just like using AI for all kind of crazy stuff.
01:19:28.800 --> 01:19:47.840
I was gonna talk about AI because when doing my research uh on you, on went through your socials, it took me all of five minutes to scroll through your Twitter and see just how deep of a relationship you have with Claude.
01:19:48.079 --> 01:19:48.880
I love Claude.
01:19:48.960 --> 01:19:50.880
Uh I know, I I noticed.
01:19:51.039 --> 01:19:55.920
And I just wanted to ask how the marriage is going and like how how well you settled down with Claude.
01:19:56.000 --> 01:19:57.760
I saw you turn, is it a Z Fold?
01:19:58.399 --> 01:20:00.159
Yes, into the animation.
01:20:00.640 --> 01:20:06.319
It looked like a fucking Optimus Prime was grabbing All Spark and then it had Starscreen behind him.
01:20:06.479 --> 01:20:09.439
Like you looked, it looked, the vid looked crazy.
01:20:09.520 --> 01:20:10.000
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:20:10.159 --> 01:20:11.279
And was that all Claude?
01:20:11.520 --> 01:20:14.239
That's all Claude, and that's all just for fun, by the way.
01:20:14.319 --> 01:20:18.079
That's just like to me when I see stuff like that, it's AI slop, it's it's nuts.
01:20:18.560 --> 01:20:19.439
It just looks super cool though.
01:20:19.520 --> 01:20:19.920
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:20:20.079 --> 01:20:28.720
Like it's it looks like an advert that do you do the voiceover in the back, and then you've got that, and something like that just goes crazy in your hand, and then it just looks compact and it's cool.
01:20:28.800 --> 01:20:29.199
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:20:29.359 --> 01:20:31.279
It looks like elite marketing, or maybe MC.
01:20:31.520 --> 01:20:39.199
It's cool, but um, I think I'm more interested in like AI enhancing my life, and that's why that's what I use it for in a lot in a lot of ways.
01:20:39.279 --> 01:20:55.840
Like, I used to be anti-AI in a way where I'm old school and I want to think myself, I want to think for myself, I want to you know come up with a creative idea myself and all these things, but then the deeper I dive into what AI is capable of, and I'm just like, oh boy, this this is insane.
01:20:56.079 --> 01:20:57.840
Like, I'll give you an example.
01:20:58.000 --> 01:21:08.399
I I just got up one morning, this is not an original thought or anything, but I got up, I got up one morning, I was just like, I can build my own team virtually.
01:21:09.279 --> 01:21:13.279
So I was like, okay, hey Claude, it's Gadget Sport HQ.
01:21:13.439 --> 01:21:26.399
I want a team of five, define their jobs, so like a PA, uh, analyst, a designer, uh, a programmer, in case I want to make an app, actually, and then I had later on added another member of a team who's a video editor.
01:21:26.800 --> 01:21:30.000
So I was like, define all their jobs like you would in a job description.
01:21:30.079 --> 01:21:33.119
Here's what you're gonna be doing day today, here's what I need you to do.
01:21:33.359 --> 01:21:40.880
Um on Claude, you can also create um a context.md file, which is basically your DNA, basically.
01:21:41.039 --> 01:21:44.640
This is where you'll tell it this is how I speak, this is me.
01:21:44.880 --> 01:21:47.039
Um I hate XYZ.
01:21:47.439 --> 01:21:50.159
So for example, AI uses M-dash a lot.
01:21:50.239 --> 01:21:52.399
So I'll tell it, don't ever use M-dashes.
01:21:52.560 --> 01:21:56.560
Um uh fact check to everything before you come back to me.
01:21:56.640 --> 01:21:58.560
If you're not sure about something, always tell me you're not sure.
01:21:58.640 --> 01:21:59.680
Yeah, blah, blah, blah.
01:21:59.840 --> 01:22:00.880
So I chuck that in.
01:22:01.279 --> 01:22:11.680
So what I then do is every morning, I've then over time defined and said, okay, PA, every morning, three times a day, go through my emails so it's connected to my inbox.
01:22:11.840 --> 01:22:16.159
Go through my emails, let me know what I need to reply to, what's urgent.
01:22:16.319 --> 01:22:16.640
Okay.
01:22:16.880 --> 01:22:20.640
Draft emails for them so it's ready to go.
01:22:20.960 --> 01:22:23.920
Um, so then all I have to do is three times a day check my inbox.
01:22:24.000 --> 01:22:26.720
Before I used to check it a lot, which takes up my time.
01:22:26.880 --> 01:22:27.840
Yeah, I don't want to keep doing that.
01:22:27.920 --> 01:22:29.199
I want to spend my time doing something else.
01:22:29.520 --> 01:22:35.119
So I just know how to check it first thing in the morning, my drafts are there, I read it over quickly to make sure there's nothing that I don't want to say.
01:22:35.279 --> 01:22:38.079
But it's got better over time, like it's really anytime I do anything out of it.
01:22:38.479 --> 01:22:41.039
It can come back to uh job opportunities.
01:22:41.199 --> 01:22:45.119
So it can, if someone goes, I want to pay you to do XYZ, it knows exactly what to say back.
01:22:45.199 --> 01:22:45.279
What?
01:22:45.520 --> 01:22:50.239
When to tell it, this is how much it costs, when to tell it, we don't have a set rate, ask more questions.
01:22:50.479 --> 01:22:55.039
It knows how to reply to like um if there's an event, it'll check my calendar to make sure I'm available.
01:22:55.119 --> 01:23:00.319
Yeah, and if I am, it will say I'm available during this time, between this time, let me know exactly so I can lock it in.
01:23:00.399 --> 01:23:03.039
If they reply to say we locked it in, it will put in my calendar for me.
01:23:03.359 --> 01:23:04.159
So it's ready to go.
01:23:04.399 --> 01:23:06.800
So he's doing a job of what a PA would do basically.
01:23:06.960 --> 01:23:07.520
Admin.
01:23:07.840 --> 01:23:10.560
My analysts, it will basically look through any piece of content.
01:23:10.720 --> 01:23:12.960
So he I involve, I say him.
01:23:13.039 --> 01:23:28.880
I involve him in I was gonna say the making the way you're personifying law to me with these five different you have to you have to like people, it sounds bad, but you have to because that's the way you can uh make it make sense in a way, otherwise you start looking at it as you're not important.
01:23:28.960 --> 01:23:33.199
So you have to look at it as a person and then make them feel important to you in what they do.
01:23:33.279 --> 01:23:33.600
Yeah, yeah.
01:23:33.920 --> 01:23:36.079
So it becomes are you the analysts?
01:23:36.159 --> 01:23:39.920
Um coming up with this video is everything I'm trying to achieve with this video.
01:23:40.079 --> 01:23:44.560
Here's one thing with AI the best way to prompt it is not to prompt it, is to back prompt it.
01:23:44.640 --> 01:23:46.560
So you have to tell it where you want to arrive, right?
01:23:46.800 --> 01:23:48.159
Let it come up with how to get there.
01:23:48.239 --> 01:23:48.479
Yeah, yeah.
01:23:48.640 --> 01:23:51.680
And you tell it, ask me questions if you get confused at any point.
01:23:51.840 --> 01:23:51.920
Okay.
01:23:52.079 --> 01:23:56.159
It's be like having a taxi driver, you've trusted them to get you to Piccadilly Circus.
01:23:56.239 --> 01:23:57.359
You don't tell them how to get there.
01:23:57.520 --> 01:23:59.520
You're the taxi driver, you get me there.
01:23:59.680 --> 01:24:05.199
If you need to ask me whether I prefer CNE Crue or wherever, you can ask me that, and then it's up to you how you get there.
01:24:05.279 --> 01:24:05.359
Right.
01:24:05.600 --> 01:24:06.479
So similar to that.
01:24:06.640 --> 01:24:16.239
So they get involved in that process, and then once um uh I publish the content, they then stay on top of that content and monitor the stats.
01:24:16.640 --> 01:24:21.359
So immediately, if I need to change something, you'll come back and say, Okay, it's not looking good with retention, you need to change your title.
01:24:21.439 --> 01:24:25.199
Here's some title options, you need to change your thumbnail, here the thumbnail options.
01:24:25.439 --> 01:24:28.640
So I change it, then it'll monitor it again, it'll say, Okay, it's improved.
01:24:28.800 --> 01:24:37.920
I'll send in the script, which comes from another content ideation person who does basically all the strategy in terms of I'm going to this trip, I'm going on this trip next week.
01:24:38.000 --> 01:24:40.000
It's about the new Ferrari, something, something.
01:24:40.159 --> 01:24:42.960
Tell me what I need to know, tell me what ideas I can come up with.
01:24:43.199 --> 01:24:50.560
So it's like this team that I've built on this thing that all function together and it's connects to my inbox, my calendar, my Slack.
01:24:50.640 --> 01:24:58.399
So every day, instead of me going through Clawed with all the chats I've had, I have a breakdown of everything on Slack for every everything that they've done.
01:24:58.479 --> 01:25:01.520
And at the end of the day, they'll give me a roundup of is everything that we've done today.
01:25:01.680 --> 01:25:02.880
So I look and go, okay.
01:25:02.960 --> 01:25:05.680
And then it'll be like, Do you like to add anything for tomorrow for to do?
01:25:06.079 --> 01:25:07.039
You haven't done this.
01:25:07.199 --> 01:25:08.079
It's so crazy.
01:25:08.159 --> 01:25:13.520
Like I put in with TFL congestion charge that I had that I need to pay.
01:25:13.840 --> 01:25:16.800
And he goes, Oh, by the way, I saw the congestion charge in your box.
01:25:16.880 --> 01:25:26.079
If you need to pay by this day, because if you pay within a four day, it knows that within a 14-day whatever window is cheaper, you probably still in that window makes you pay today.
01:25:26.159 --> 01:25:26.479
Yeah, yeah.
01:25:26.560 --> 01:25:28.720
And I'm just like, this is insane.
01:25:28.800 --> 01:25:28.960
Yeah.
01:25:29.199 --> 01:25:37.920
And he'll look from my calendar and go, oh, by the way, so like for example, I said uh yesterday, I said, Oh, could you tell me about I forgot what why I put something in my calendar?
01:25:38.079 --> 01:25:39.760
And I was like, could you tell me what that is?
01:25:39.920 --> 01:25:40.800
Check my inbox.
01:25:40.960 --> 01:25:47.680
He looks through my inbox, he goes, Oh, by the way, that's not happening tomorrow anymore because as by your email, you guys have changed the date, it's not happening on this date.
01:25:47.760 --> 01:25:48.000
Yeah, yeah.
01:25:48.159 --> 01:25:52.640
I'm like, oh damn, I'm glad you're you mentioned because I would have backed my bag to go to this event.
01:25:52.720 --> 01:25:53.119
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:25:53.279 --> 01:25:54.319
That's not happening anymore.
01:25:54.479 --> 01:25:56.960
So, like, that's the kind of stuff that I use AI for now.
01:25:57.359 --> 01:26:02.640
You are like you've taken admin to like a completely different level, like you've scaled.
01:26:03.039 --> 01:26:06.800
And the level of our like research that I do on Claude, crazy.
01:26:06.880 --> 01:26:17.600
Like I I research so much, like deep dive into stuff, like scraping websites, uh legally and ethically, uh, scraping what's happening on TikTok, uh, what's happening on Twitter, etc.
01:26:17.920 --> 01:26:22.239
Yeah to give me like a uh a broader view of what's happening.
01:26:22.399 --> 01:26:26.159
I even use it during like AI um F1 races to create content.
01:26:26.239 --> 01:26:38.479
So like if you go on my Twitter during a I only just started doing this by the way, so like when when a race is on, I'll tell you to go on Twitter and monitor what's happening every three minutes and come up with a piece of content as an update.
01:26:38.880 --> 01:26:45.920
So it'll be like monitoring Sky F1s, monitoring all these areas to tell me, okay, Lewis has got three, five points.
01:26:46.000 --> 01:26:47.600
Yeah, he's gonna have to serve that at the next.
01:26:47.840 --> 01:26:54.800
So I'm giving updates to my followers then that might not have the insights or overview of what's going on.
01:26:54.960 --> 01:26:57.039
He puts in a nice package, easy to read.
01:26:57.199 --> 01:27:00.319
This is the next thing that's happening in in lap 57.
01:27:00.479 --> 01:27:00.800
Yeah, yeah.
01:27:01.119 --> 01:27:05.039
It'd be lap by lap, people like lap 58, this has happened, lap four, right?
01:27:05.199 --> 01:27:05.920
And it's insane.
01:27:06.079 --> 01:27:10.000
It's like people are engaging with it, and I'm like, of course, yeah.
01:27:10.239 --> 01:27:11.520
Where are you posting that to?
01:27:11.680 --> 01:27:12.159
Twitter.
01:27:12.319 --> 01:27:12.399
Ah.
01:27:12.880 --> 01:27:14.239
Because I use Twitter for the live conversations.
01:27:14.399 --> 01:27:15.199
I see, I see, I see.
01:27:15.520 --> 01:27:15.840
Or X.
01:27:16.000 --> 01:27:16.640
Yeah, yeah.
01:27:16.880 --> 01:27:21.439
So now I can sit down and actually enjoy the race to for myself instead of me.
01:27:21.520 --> 01:27:24.960
Because before I'd be watching and then quickly going, oh, that's just happened, yeah, yeah.
01:27:25.039 --> 01:27:25.359
Kind of thing.
01:27:25.439 --> 01:27:29.840
So that's then that while I'm just you're just watching the race and enjoy myself.
01:27:31.279 --> 01:27:35.279
So for me now, it's like I tell people, like, if you don't know what to prompt it, it's a brain dump.
01:27:35.359 --> 01:27:36.479
Just dump your issues.
01:27:36.560 --> 01:27:46.880
Like you could go in your house and be like, I'm sick and tired of this water, keep drop like dripping every 10 minutes, just put into whatever AI you use, it'll come up with a solution.
01:27:47.520 --> 01:27:48.800
That's so scary.
01:27:49.199 --> 01:27:54.720
But I want to do it so badly at the same time because it's just seems so much more streamlined.
01:27:54.960 --> 01:27:57.279
Yeah, and I'm not even doing the craziest things with it.
01:27:57.359 --> 01:27:58.079
I know people that are.
01:27:59.199 --> 01:28:52.800
Yeah, I reckon there's uh there's obviously there's levels to it oh there's levels you what you've just described to me is mad levels crazy levels that I didn't even this is why when people talk to me about AI and what they're doing uh with it how they use it especially to um just make their life easier yeah and uh assist them with their job with their content with their work I know there's just so many different things that I could be doing that I'm not so listening to you just say how you use it and you can benefit from it yeah is honestly it's it's insane like note taking is one of the things I use it for a lot where I'm like I'm I'm in this briefing I'm not gonna remember everything that's been said here I can take notes from that and from that note I can tell it to generate my script yeah from that note so then I then buff it up with my opinions and whatever all the factual stuff is already laid out for me in the structure that we've worked on to make sure that it gets the retention.
01:28:52.960 --> 01:29:18.800
Yes for example so that works really well like we've explored so many things like with like uh some uh PhD students who we were talking about doing like a AI double it's got enough a proper name that can't remember but anyway it's basically someone that mirrors me in terms of how I look how I speak that can attend things for me in terms of like attending things for you yeah like virtually yeah yeah so like a zoom meeting I don't need to be on it if I've got something else going on.
01:29:19.119 --> 01:29:36.000
So how if they can go be in the zoom meeting so if you if you create a version of me that knows how I speak etc etc they can attend this meeting for me that connect to the call take the call take all the notes from the call send it to me afterwards and be like oh by the way I've taken that meeting for you here's what they said breakdown.
01:29:36.159 --> 01:29:37.840
Is there anything you want me to action from that?
01:29:37.920 --> 01:31:08.000
And then I can be like oh great they've mentioned in that meeting that devices would be available on embargo is I don't know 12th of August blah blah blah I'd be like oh great yeah put that in my calendar make sure I don't miss that date start mapping out structure to get this like a pack we call it package with the team I say we it's like start start your SEO packaging so like they start working on like the scripts the title description start researching it like in all in the background so I just rock up and no way yeah it's crazy what you can do with it yeah so what happens if in the zoom call you're asked a question they they're built enough to to answer the question back built enough yeah yeah how that's been trained enough see what I'm saying this on this I can't I don't know man this is this is scary territory for me honestly like it's that's nuts bro yeah I was joking on on Instagram the other day I was like you know you get all these friends that don't say hello they just message you and be like oh can you help me with blah blah and you're like at least say hello first like I haven't spoken to you in a while just I said I'm gonna plug my WhatsApp that's the next I'm working I'm gonna plug it into Claude so that he filters out those people and asks him questions that make them actually just actually yeah a human interaction that'd be like hello yeah yeah what's going on yeah yeah like hello to you too or like I don't know something like that I was like or even quiz them and be like so when's the last time you yeah yeah yeah that would be good yeah actually put them on put put them on their toes and be like actually wait yeah when's the last time we hung out together yeah exactly yeah yeah that's yeah I want to I want to plug into WhatsApp to see how that goes to see what kind of what it does it.
01:31:08.239 --> 01:31:08.800
That's scary.
01:31:09.039 --> 01:31:45.119
What's actually even more scary is that I was gonna joke around with you today about um something maybe tech that you have thought about working on or whatever and then I had this random daydream kind of thing where we came up with something where we would text when you say WhatsApp we would text our washing machine how to to to just start working or do something put a load of washing on for us now that I've now we've had this conversation and you've said everything that you've said that seems so basic and like so like I reckon you've seen that probably like three years ago.
01:31:45.359 --> 01:32:03.359
That already exists yeah that's probably that's already a thing you see I'm so far behind and you you're so far ahead they're all connected now like your washing machine's connected via an app like if you have a Samsung home appliance for example I say Samsung because that's the only one that I I know well off um they're all connected to your phone so you can tell it how much phone and when to start and stuff like that.
01:32:03.520 --> 01:32:06.800
They even make machines where you can put stuff in between wash.
01:32:06.880 --> 01:32:47.520
So like if you forget to put something in or you drop you don't carry stuff yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah it's already started mid-cycle you can still drop it in afterwards and it carries on as well whereas before you have to wait to the end and then I have seen those yeah I've seen those stuff like that already already exists even though there's a lot of like um some devices where like the fridges where the there's all debate about how far have we gone that have we gone too far that your fridge doesn't need to be connected as much as it is connected where they're serving you ads on the screen and stuff yeah see that that bit of advertising when I'm about to get some ice for a drink yeah yeah and I'm seeing it's this oh well there's a new um there's a bigger fridge that you can get right now in Curry's for 20% off.
01:32:48.239 --> 01:32:59.920
Bro get out of here they should have stopped at there's a camera in the in the fridge tells me what's in there tells me when they expire tells me what I can cook with what I've got in the fridge I think that's as far as I find it's useful.
01:33:00.159 --> 01:35:03.600
Anything else I'm just like I don't need to draw on my screen I don't need to see my calendar on the screen and you know there's some things that you do to time out like do you know what I mean like there should be a cutoff oh yeah from certain things but yeah you get that even like you see that BMW thing where they're showing Spider-Man ads when you turn your car on on the display that's another example of the infotainment yeah yeah you you rock in and you go you you want to start your day instead of the screen coming up straight away with like your home screen so you do your sat nav yeah it's the Spider-Man trailer first with an option to uh book similar so you're like I know you guys have made your deals with Marvel and I'm not getting a cut then yeah I don't I didn't ask for that so why why am I seeing it I've paid for this car this is my car yeah so why are you pushing stuff I did not know that was a thing yeah yeah it was it was circulating on on on X the other day and I was just laughing I was like this reminds me of when I don't know if you remember when Apple did the U2 album on everyone's colour oh yeah and you couldn't remember the backlash was crazy you couldn't take it off yeah it was giving that I was like nah they need to stop this wow yeah what's so many examples of like just yeah yeah brands over engineering or overdoing tech and they just really don't have to yeah wow have you experienced being overwhelmed or anxiety or even depression um at any point during your journey maybe because of your journey or what because of the stages of your journey does that make sense yeah yeah yeah um depression no unless I've experienced it and I didn't realise that's what it was because I think that happens a lot I think that's a thing yeah yeah yeah yeah that's a thing um but I think I'm I'm a good uh planner so in terms of like a plan ahead and all that stuff and you do it so many times and you get used to how things work and etc etc so I don't really experience it I think the only kind of anxiety that I get is when I do anything public speaking related so like if I'm on a panel or like but even that kind of anxiety is more because I want it to go well like I want to I want to do well.
01:35:03.920 --> 01:35:12.000
So um I tend to get really anxious at like before it um and then but once I sit down and start the conversation I'm fine.
01:35:12.239 --> 01:35:12.479
Okay.
01:35:12.640 --> 01:35:20.880
So I get that quite often um which I'm working on because I want to I'm gonna do more public speaking so I want to get good at it so I just rock up and I'm like free flowing kind of thing.
01:35:21.119 --> 01:35:43.039
Nice um so that's that's is that you or the the man de McClaude which one is that that's me that'll be me um and then I'm trying to think oh not really that's I think I think I love tech so much like I love the whole idea of it and what it does and the future of it and all that stuff that I just love working on it.
01:35:43.199 --> 01:35:43.439
Right.
01:35:43.600 --> 01:35:51.119
If anything I'm I'm always like uh I beat myself up because I always feel like I should be doing more like I could be doing more.
01:35:51.279 --> 01:36:30.479
Yeah I think if I sit down long enough I'm like I could be doing something right now I could be in the studio filming something right now I'm wasting the day but then that means you don't that means you are going to Silverstone and then you're not booking your holidays doing stuff yeah you're not booking your holidays right um but burnout I think again like depression it's possible that I've experienced burnout but didn't don't know that's that's what it was do you know I mean so but um I've learned very earlier on that to keep life exciting is all about hope and also variety so when it comes to my job I try and keep variety hence what I do like cars I do motorbikes I do tech and then I'm dipping into AI.
01:36:30.560 --> 01:36:30.720
Okay.
01:36:30.880 --> 01:36:48.319
So having all this variety means that every day that I wake up there's something you know so like there's a car trip coming up there's a tech event coming up there's a new phone launch there's always something varied that I can work on but I feel like I always say if I work on just phones for example I'd be I'd probably still want me doing it now.
01:36:48.479 --> 01:36:48.800
Okay.
01:36:48.960 --> 01:36:51.359
Because that would just be same same every time.
01:36:51.600 --> 01:38:22.239
Yeah just that same marginal difference in what is new like eating Nando's three times a day every day eventually it's gonna lose its spark yeah yeah there's only so many FIRES perissolid chips and coal store we can get through exactly for sure so yeah yeah that's how that's how I think I deal with it and I think it works bro it's been incredible to talk to you and have uh an insight into the tech world and your life and thank you for coming no thanks for having me you've you've taken me back to situations I've forgotten about I'm glad to hear that I'm glad to hear that's that's good that's good we're reminiscent literally that's that's what we're here for that is what we're here for on brand love that so yeah man pleasure thank you gadget boy tell me how to bio thank you man oh my days wait wait a minute oh my god we got we do this uh we're reminiscent for yesterday yeah happy birthday to you double you happy birthday to you happy birthday dear Rems Remsky Remsky Remsky that's fine that's fine happy birthday to you double use let's go thank you more life man more life more life thank you bro thank you make a wish I've already blown the candle that but 75 hard as well 75 princess they never taste so good let me take that yeah thank you bro
