Hello, everyone, and welcome to a special episode Ramble. the Creator Summit is where YouTube gathers together a whole bunch of YouTubers and then throws them through a bunch of presentations and tries to inspire them. And it's actually just a way to get people there for YouTube's advertising summit so they could show a bunch of creators and be like, hey, look, people that make videos. The great thing for me about the Creator Summit is that it's a lot of cool YouTubers that I don't oftentimes see. One of the groups that was there is the slow-mo guys,

Gavin Free and Daniel Grouchy? Grouchy? I'm afraid to pronounce his last name wrong. I've never heard him say it. So that's my bad if I, if I fucked that up. They create a lot of these videos where, I mean, it's pretty self-explanatory. They do slow motion videos. They always find really cool stuff to shoot in slow motion and they're just good guys. Gavin Free also works over at Rooster Teeth, which I am also a big fan of. And occasionally the two of them get together and make awesome videos. So I was fortunate enough to get about 45 minutes with them. That's all the time we really had at the creator summit. We were just bouncing from thing to thing, to thing, to thing. So they were gracious enough

to give me their time. Most of this episode, we're talking about farts. So if you are offended by, uh, conversations about farts, maybe this isn't the best podcast for you, but if, if you don't mind a little fart humor, um, man strap in, strap in because it's a farty ride. We talk about other things too, though. Good guys, hilarious. And let's just jump right into it. Oh, and I apologize if the audio is a little bit weird. All we had was handheld mics.

So hopefully it's not too bad. Okay. Enjoy. handheld mics so uh hopefully it's not too bad okay enjoy i thought i'd like broken my pelvis at first because it was in so much pain and when i landed the first thing that gav said to me was did you fart i met him a couple of years ago and you know it's just like a dude with a backpack you know i was like he was like talking to me i was like oh what did you looked up his channel i was like jesus christ i mean to me a slow-mo fart on a thermal cam sounds like you know that's that's like avatar level sort of you know greatness he would always come around my house and pee really hard into the toilet what all right right in the mouth okay

hey everybody welcome to a super special smosh cast with me ian hecox and my two friends daniel and gav do you say gav or gavin i don't do you go by both or just gavin both they both register to me as my name so i don't really ever notice which version people are saying okay well daniel gavin from the slow-mo guys and also well you're also on rooster teeth yes yeah many channels yeah you're a man of many channels uh or is i mean as are you yeah so yeah this is a uh special smosh cast not just because it's short because we're on a limited time window but also because we are at the creator summit on the beach that was enthusiastic does it feel like you're on the beach with this giant hedge i feel like i'm on the beach is this have you been to every creator summit no i've only this is the only maybe the second time I've been invited second I think maybe I was invited one other time but I think the first creator summit I might have been invited but

because of some other sort of YouTube gatherings that had happened in the past I was like oh it might be a shit show so I think I declined it maybe that was the best one as well the first one it was actually really good like the stuff they did was great you know the guests were good we have been to all of them this is the fifth one what and um i do find them useful it's just fun just like even if you don't go to the seminars and stuff yeah it's just nice to see people i think that's that's the big sort of takeaway for the the summit for me it's always about just meeting my peers and the people that I'm, you know, a fan of and, uh, exploiting that as much as possible. Yeah. I mean, it's, it's weird because the creator summit,

as we're starting to realize as the years go on, I mean, I think it's sort of a way for, well, there's this thing called the New Fronts in New York. And it's basically all the giant companies that are online gather all the advertisers and they show them these big presentations and say like, this is what we're doing this year. We have this show and this show and this show. Please give us your money, your ad dollars.

And so YouTube does a really really really big one every year and it just so happens to coincide with the creator summit so i think it's it is partly because they do that because they have this huge gathering of youtubers that then they send to the brand cast which is their new fronts presentation and they're like look at all these awesome YouTubers that we have. Yeah, we did a couple of things for that before, didn't we? I think the first time we did something and we did something another time as well. Yeah, we had a bunch of people come and throw paint on us

for like an hour and a half and we would make little mini slow-mos with them. And then... Yeah, was that two? I seem to recall you guys were in like a like a glass cube two years ago that was for the james corden bit oh yeah that's right so yeah we we i was gonna say like youtube wheel us out for that they literally wheeled us we're in a box on wheels on stage the first time though when we had to do the thing with the fans we're like they had like

paint on us and everything we finished and we were just like how do we get back it was very well thought out up to that point but then once our bit was done we couldn't sit down at brown cast because we were caked in paint we kind of just had to stand off to the side and then we had to leave through and if you've ever been there's just people in suits really yeah and suits. And we were there like- I think I ruined like seven suits with like paint. We couldn't get an Uber. So we just had to walk like 20 blocks. Yeah, so far. Covered in paint, in lab coats.

And because it's New York, just no one batted an eyelid. Yeah, they just thought it was some kind of like presentation. Yeah, we were just people from the city. Is that when I absolutely twatted my shin? That was a different time. That was a different time. What, your shin? I was just on my phone and you know how in new york there's like those uh like basement things where the doors like cellar doors yeah yeah and uh i was just on my phone and you know in england we don't really have those so there's not really like

we have them by pubs that you have to walk out yeah and they usually like you know safely guarded with like bars over sure that i absolutely cracked my shin on the like sharp edge of one of those and this guy who just stood there i think he was like just like just hanging out like he just goes i was like on the floor at this point like almost crying he was just like texting because i was just texting on my phone he was like you text it was like the biggest bong sound it was like someone whacked a gong but it was his shin hitting this metal door oh so much you know that guy just sits there and just gets enjoyment out of people yeah whacking their shins on those he's probably seen like seven people fall into those yeah yeah just be lucky you didn't go over it and down the stairs that would suck yeah but you know it's america so i think you could have sued

someone quite easily that's probably true yeah i've just realized that one of the things in my hotel room is out of date what do i do about that i wanted to use it but i was like do i use it or not it was the hangover cure thing there's like a hangover box yeah and we're out of date in january i'm like what the hell i don't want no one you know want to open it and find out that there's like stuff that's all out of date and things i looked at the hangover cure thing because i was like oh what's in the hangover cure that's in it they know that i don't and it's literally it explained it was like two tylenol and some emergency and a mint yeah yeah yeah and some some mints i'm like that that no it's not a hangover cure i'm tempted by the tylenol, though, to be fair. Even if it is out of date.

Yeah, that might help a little bit. You know, it'll thin your stomach lining a little bit. But, you know, who needs that? I went downstairs just a minute ago, and they're doing, like, these little things where you can get, like, a massage, you know, or, like, your little treatment. Oh, yeah, I saw the Express Facial.

Did you do one? I went down there, like, probably, like, 10 to, like, 20 minutes ago. And the only one they had available they were all fully booked was a b12 shot yeah so is that injected into your bloodstream i was like what the hell is that and they literally get a needle and inject you with a shit like a literal like shot like you're getting a flu shot what does that do 12 it's supposed because i've got the hangover and i was like you know solid they were like in 45 minutes you'll get a bit of a buzz like a bit more energy and like it's good for the immune system and stuff i was like i feel like i'm like juicing here like what a weird thing to offer people downstairs like you can have a

facial you can be palm red or you can have a shot it's like there's places in vegas where you can get people to come on you yeah well i mean that actually works like i know a guy that was an emt and he was also like a club bro and him and his bros would go out and and party in a club then the next morning they'd all get iv bags and plug right in how much does that cost is it like i have no idea i'm guessing maybe they just stole it out of their ambulances but uh it's out of date yeah whip it whip it on gary they actually crumb they pour some emergency into the bag yeah so you get a little bonus i feel like as i get older that sounds more and more appealing as i i feel like i don't know about you guys but as i get older hangovers are worse these days i'm having like two day hangovers honestly there have been times where i'm kind of reluctant to go out

ever at this point just because i'm much more tired than i used to be i feel like i get hung over before i get drunk sometimes oh i feel like i'll just be like i'm feeling like a slight headache and i'm not having fun yet yeah it's just like what's the point in drinking yeah i mean i i sometimes uh have a couple drinks on a plane this is always a stupid idea but one time i had some drinks i had like smashed a few and i just fell asleep and then i woke up on the flight hung over oh it was the worst you're dealing with like double dehydration on a plane as well you shouldn't you shouldn't really booze on yeah it's awful yeah i've done it a couple times but drinking on a plane is weird because like you're just kind of stuck in this chair i feel like i get really gassy on a plane if i'm drinking

on a plane it's like it's it's not a great situation but if you do get gassy there's a lot of other people that could be so you can sometimes get away with it if you if you oh i let loose i don't care you just don't care no no i mean once once we're once we're done taxing we're in the air we're making all that noise you know i i am courteous i don't i don't lift cheek and you don't lift cheek and fly it into people's face but that's fair if you could would you fart towards the window or the aisle if you can oh i mean yeah if i was in an aisle seat i guess i would throw it into the aisle you know i'm not you know it's not going directly into anybody unless there's like a kid like walking through the aisle when i did it like

pink yeah uh no i keep itself i keep it contained into the cushion you know so it diffuses a little bit before it gets you know released into you can get those pants and stuff that like contain it as well can't you it's like those fart pants like box shorts with like like this special padding that like soaks up farts that can't be real i think it's real it's like a fart sponge yeah like a fart sponge it like filters out the fart i'm pretty sure that's real are you sure i i think it's real like a fart capture thing i mean maybe who's that for though for other people i guess it's to like if you've got like bad like gut problems then you're constantly like letting rip yeah but it's embarrassing you don't want to you know have to constantly leave every

five minutes how much were your fart pants like 30 bucks that's a great deal yeah no i want some though she gets to work have you guys done uh a slow-mo infrared we fart i have actually talked to flair the thermal imaging company about because they have a high-speed camera only goes up to a thousand frames a second and it records in this weird circular format but if we do manage to get hold of it for a video that's the first thing i want to do did you tell them that's the first thing i want to do well i didn't want to insult them but what do you guys want to do like flamethrowers uh you want to like burn rubber something scientific maybe like there's also like different methods of infrared so i'm not actually sure it would register in the air it might have to be on a surface but yeah can you

like i've seen those videos of yeah but is that real i feel like it's not real i think it's real no i don't think it's real like the the infrared like in an airport somebody farted yeah and there's like the black comes out of the yeah it's like the cloud it's not real yeah i just i just don't know if it'd work like even with a flare well flare would know so you guys should ask them you should probably ask before you get it i was just too embarrassed to ask so if you're very like scientific you know engineers and all that if you manage to get the camera we fart into it it doesn't work fart into it what are you gonna do then you're gonna be like you're gonna be like oh uh better send it back then didn't work

it was actually called the demo they showed me they just snapped a pencil oh yeah and you could see where it got hot because of the strain and then it pings off and it's like that is cool but that's not a fart it's not a fart it's not that's not as cool snapping a pencil doesn't have the same you know clickable thumbnail as a you know slow-mo fart infrared yeah especially if you totally watch that video i don't i guess i'd watch the pencil one too would you would you want to be in the video for the fart yeah just like yeah you don't you you don't have to do a fun double uh fart double like yeah yeah fun like a stunt but fart like i'll just i'll just uh i'll come to austin i'll eat a bunch of those delicious baked beans yeah we've got a good barbecue that will that'll work something up inside you yeah and then we'll

just let her rip do you always talk about this stuff on your podcasts and farts and that i just i you know i just see where where the adventure takes us you know i mean to me a slow-mo fart you know on a thermal cam sounds like you know that's that's like avatar level sort of you know greatness and i just want to take a quick moment to say that we got two sponsors today baby listening makes us smarter more connected people it makes us better partners parents and leaders and there's no better place to start listening than audible audible is where so many inspiring voices and compelling stories open listeners up to new experiences and ways of thinking audible members get more than ever members choose three titles every month one audiobook plus two audible originals that you can't hear anywhere else.

You kind of alluded to me this morning that you're a little bit accident prone. I wouldn't say I was accident prone. Like I'm actually quite good at not getting injured. It's just that I'm constantly in situations that would be making me more likely to be injured. Okay. Like what I do.

Just the way our channel has worked out, we used to both try and be in the shots. But with an unmanned phantom you don't always get the best stuff so we just kind of fell into the the routine of just i'll always do the camera and you'll always be oh guinea pig convenient yeah yeah so i've actually had like i was in the army and i didn't really get in like for like seven years i didn't get injured or like nothing happened to me thankfully i've had way more injuries from shooting stuff like way more one time i was in afghanistan right and i had to go into like the field hospital right because i had a piece of glass in my finger from the somo guys no yeah so like there was people you know like

with serious like in like wounded people coming in all this sort of stuff and i was like yeah i've got glass in my finger from back home that was our first video to get demonetized and that was in like 2011 that was like an early days demonetization blood yeah the blood yeah it was a glass jar exploded it had like a bunch of paint and exploded we didn't think to use plastic cups for some reason we used glass jars like idiots looking back we were much less safe when we were completely undone because it was well dude like uh several years ago on youtube rewind when anthony was still a smosh they wanted us to recreate uh i'm on a boat and they wanted us to clink champagne like glasses is that the 2013 one uh it sounds about right no it might have been like 2014 or 15 i

don't really quite remember when we clink the glasses and they're like oh no like can you guys do it harder like we really want to see the like the champagne go flying we're like okay so like we hit the glasses and the glass like cracked and we're like oh oh okay and so he's like oh all right let's let's just try one more so we got new glasses we go to clink it really hard glass breaks and shreds anthony's thumb oh god and it's such a stupid idea yeah what do they think was gonna happen i don't know where was the safety guy like seems fine yeah i mean they could have just used plastic glasses or anything yeah and we were out in the water. We weren't on land.

We drove this boat out of the marina. Oh, you really did it on a boat? Yeah. I like that there are movies that would green screen that, like Hollywood movies. But YouTube Rewind does it for real. They did it for real. We need the real chink there. We need the real.

Yeah. Yeah, because they're all about realism. Yeah, absolutely. Is that very typical of your guys' relationship, that he would be the one to get injured? He cracked his tooth at least twice in video. No, maybe three times. He cracked the fake part of his front tooth

because he had broken his tooth in high school. A kid swung a tennis racket, hit him in the face. So he had a fake part and he broke it two or three times in videos just random things that he was having to bite uh but no one time he one time he kind of broke my nose in a video he he uh we needed him to fake punch me but because of the camera angle he needed to use his left hand and he's right-handed so he swung with his left hand and just cracked me right right in the nose and it bled a little bit did it was that in the cut that take we didn't even use that take we use a different take why would you not use that take. We used a different take. Why would you not use that take? Because strangely,

the one where I actually get punched looks less realistic. What? Yeah. Because I'm just like, I'm shocked. Like it shocked me that he actually punched me in the face.

I was like, uh. Yeah, I guess in an action movie when you take a punch, you're going to take the punch and just not go, oh. Yeah.

I like that he broke your nose with his off hand. Yeah. Didn't know his reach with that arm, I guess. It was weird. And then like I was looking in the mirror, I was like, I can't tell if it's off, but it kind of looked like it was a little bit off. But I didn't go to the hospital or anything.

I just was like, I think maybe it's just the swelling or something. And then I got home and my dog, who's a German shepherd, I was playing with her and she just like bat me in the face with her paw and hit me right in the nose and i think she actually corrected it like yeah it doesn't look broken oh good good good yeah i mean he didn't like super break he didn't like owen wilson my nose you know he's like it was just like it was very minimal i think think that's about as far as injuries go. Oh, yeah. So he sliced his thumb.

And luckily, they had a medic there. And the guy was like, oh, yeah, just put a Band-Aid on it, whatever. It doesn't seem too deep. But then it just kept bleeding. And he was like, oh, yeah, you should probably go to the hospital and get some stitches. Oh, my god. That's a wrap. Seems good.

And then I don't think we were invited for the rewind like it was your fault yeah yeah i don't trust him yeah we both got injured on our first youtube original um the super slow show yeah dan broke his wrist it was my thumb his thumb trying to impress tony hawk by dropping in on his 14 foot vert ramp yeah that was an experience yeah i did it though it was totally worth it yeah you guys just showed that to me this morning i'm sorry but it was kind of funny it was yes it was worth it like i wouldn't have done it if you know first of all it's going to be on youtube it's on youtube you know forever probably pretty much you know it was in front

of tony hawk a childhood hero yeah you know and if i hadn't have done it i'd have had such a sense of like regret of like oh you know i could have done it and everything but the fact that i did it tried it yeah i absolutely smashed my hand to bits and couldn't walk properly for a week but it was totally worth it like honestly like he we went to dinner after he went to the hospital it took him like 90 seconds to cross the street like on the way back to the car i felt so bad i landed on my my like hand first yeah but then i'm a chunky bloke these days and like i landed on my hips on my side with the rest of my like weight and it like squished my pelvis together i thought i'd like broken my pelvis at first because it was in so much pain i just couldn't walk properly for weeks and when i landed the first thing that gav said to me was did you fart well okay it smelled really

bad right by the landing site and we we were just basically just walked into and he had farted on impact it turns out but but i think because of the compression it was sort of like a deep gut so what happened within if you imagine like you're falling like 15 feet and it's like i was squashed like i was fully emptied out like my like small and large intestines i was completely like compressed by the landing and it just forced all this like ass gas out of my ass sure and tony hawk was just like walking into it politely not mentioning anything like clearly after we after we'd done all the reaction i let down i was like and did you fart and you you were just like

i don't know i was like i don't know maybe it wasn't the main thing we actually left that in the episode me asking you whether you see obviously i didn't like feel a fart come out i wasn't like the first thought of going through my head i probably i farted yeah i mean so i that was one of the few things where i feel like a lot of the stuff you do i would have given a go like i used to want to be a stuntman as a kid i used to love throwing myself around that is the one thing you've done that i absolutely would not have done it was like it was like johnny knoxville levels of commitment because you you basically knew that you're going to break something i couldn't yeah definitely yeah i pretty much just threw myself off that knowing yeah well you did because your body left the half pipe

and the skateboard went one way and your body went the other way yeah it looked good for a very small period of time right i mean even with with the Phantom extending that period of time, it wasn't a lot of time. All right, all right. In the commentary, I say we might as well just film someone fall off a roof. Yeah, that's true. Because that's the effect the skateboard had. It had absolutely nothing to do with anything.

Yeah, it's true. But it was a bloody good effort. I'm glad I did it. And it was totally worth it. Because, look, my thumb's fine. He said it was incredibly gnarly. Yeah. He was from hawkey himself coming from big tony and uh you know he gave me a skateboard and was like that was amazing he signed it everything he put way to slam down on it and i was like that's yeah how cool is that right yeah yeah yeah i wouldn't have done it no

no oh man but i mean that's that's the difference between you and me. I'll tell my grandkids, you know, when I'm like 80, I won't tell them, oh, I could have done something in front of Tony Hawk, but I didn't. I'll be like, yes, I tried to do something, smash my arm, and I think it'd be worth it. Yeah. One of my gnarliest slams was last month.

I was walking down my stairs, and I stopped for a moment to try to blow out a candle, and I slipped on the stairs. Wait, you have candles on the stairs? No, no, no. Is your house lit by candles? Yes, I live in a castle. Yeah.

He's been staying at Winterfell. Yeah, yeah, yeah. in a castle. He's been staying at Winterfell. Well, there was a candle on this little console sort of thing that I had next to the stairs. And I was like, oh, shit, I've got to blow a candle out because you don't want to leave a candle just burning in a room. And so I turned for a moment to blow it out. But my lower half of my body was like, whoa, what are you doing?

And I just, I missed something. And then I just proceeded to have the most pathetic fall downstairs. We're just like, da, da, da, da, da, da, da. Just like down the side of me. I had the gnarliest bruise on my hip. Was anyone in the house? No, I was all alone which was

which was scary no one could even see it either yeah no one even witnessed it but the the scariest thing is like yeah what if i what if i broke my hip nobody else is there like what am i gonna do i guess i'd call 9-1-1 as an american though i i'm afraid to call 9-1-1 because ambulances aren't free it sucks it sucks so bad it's like you really don't want to get hurt even if you know you've got insurance and everything it's still going to cost you money and also you're like is it worth it like it's a real thing it's like a risk whereas in in england i'm so glad to just be able to just be like well yeah obviously i can just go to the hospital and yeah i called an ambulance for the first time in the u.s and i got like a 900 bill ambulance for the first time in the us and i

got like a 900 bill just for that like let alone the emergency room stuff so i was like that's a surprise yeah hey you know you know that's just the cost of freedom welcome to our country now i definitely get why why there's the cliche of like old people falling downstairs and breaking their hips i i totally get it now and now whenever i walk down my stairs i'm like careful you care that you're more careful now yes did you get carpet burn that's always really painful well no they're they're wood wood stairs so just worse nice and just slid all the way down yeah you want the cushioning of a little bit of carpet i think the carpet burns pretty bad i wasn't naked why did I have carpet burn one time?

Because you were naked. You were naked. Probably. That's probably true. We had a naked incident, didn't we, at VidCon once? Oh, we did. Yeah. We went to VidCon.

I live in Austin. He lives in England. So we usually meet. We only really see each other at these kind of events. And I got to vidcon really late it wasn't it's always in anaheim right that's where they do it yep and i got to the hotel it was like 1 a.m because i was i think i was shooting that day so i took the latest possible flight and i didn't realize they put us in the same room and neither did he nope so i walk i walk

in just like don't bother knocking because i assume it's my room and i and the light from the hallway comes into the room it's sort of directly onto his anus almost like it was like i sleep completely naked and i was turned over on my side and my my chocolate starfish was pointing directly at the door directly at the door and i just see gavin walk in this beam of light go up my ass and then this like slender slender man shadow figure in the door like oh yeah yeah were you sleeping on top of your bed like above the covers it was yeah it was hot you know it was it was warm i mean i certainly don't sleep like that i don't i don't sleep without boxes on so it was it was so shocking well at first i had like a split second where i didn't think it was you because i didn't obviously recognize you by your cornhole would

that make it worse or better if it was someone else because then then you don't have someone else never again and right no it would have been better if it was someone else yeah because i could have put the whole thing behind me and just gone and found my actual room or got him out of my room but obviously then i had to figure it out and then go to bed next to you uh it was two like twin beds oh okay do you ever have that with ian or with uh with anthony or anyone like that uh no the only yeah no luckily because usually if you're roommates with somebody for at least a year it's highly likely you've seen their genitals yes did you guys ever live together no okay i've seen his genitals just because he just refuses to be careful yeah it's true i've also never seen yours i don't think no i'm very careful i wear

boxes he he loves to brag about the fact that he would always come around my house and pee really hard into the toilet what so you might have had like this a tiny little toilet next to my bedroom and he would make sure i could i could hear him so he would he just put the lid up and then just go like i was trying to like bust the hole in the back of the toilet and i i he just i knew him for like just peeing really hard so he he started taking videos of him. We went out for an Indian once. And he was there at the urinal. And he was just filming his stream.

What? Really? I was like forcing out. He was trying to film the stream really hard. So it was just like, sent me a video of just a stream of piss. But it was in a weird period where the iphone screen was kind of like four by three it wasn't widescreen yet but the video was widescreen so basically what you could do on an iphone then is you would double tap and it would slightly zoom

out because it would by default i did so careful with the framing yeah so i zoomed out and i was like that's the tip of your penis no just the tip just the tip i was like no you're framing dan this is a 720p video i was drunk at the time as well yeah like i was drunk well i mean if i hadn't zoomed out impeccable framing thank you yeah yeah wow so just moments like that is why i've seen his junk. Okay. Yeah. I had a guy on my cross-country team. We called him the Vortex because he liked to run ahead of everyone and then take his pants down and show us his ass.

And we called him the Vortex because his entire ass was covered in hair. Oh, like a swirl pattern? Yeah, and it all sort of swirled towards the anus wow do you think if he was in another hemisphere it would go the other way if he was in australia yeah yeah it would kind of be going out yeah yeah yeah do you think he knows his hair on his ass does that oh you never really see your own ass that much do you you don't it's a bad ass name i don't generally like look at my own ass hmm like i don't really know what it looks like.

He knows better than I do what my ass looks like. I mean, I've seen it from an angle that you could never possibly see it. Unless I was like some sort of like elaborate rigged mirrors. Yeah. Sort of situation going on. It'd be an apparatus. Yeah,

it really would. So you guys have been every single creator summit. Um, so being that this is my second time I I've seen, I've noticed a theme. They do a Q and a, uh, with, uh, Susan Majewski, Robert Kinsel, Robert Kinsel, and, uh, their head of, uh, some other, some other top guy. And, uh, they open it up for a short Q and a to these sort of top creators and you know

YouTube creators are not always happy with the platform so it usually just turns into just a just a mess yeah well it's like the because I'm always pretty quiet at those I've never stood up to ask anything

oh god no just because I don't want people to look at me because I'm scared but a lot of people don't have that fear and they'll ask a question and they'll get a response and then follow it up and then it ends up just being like a room full of 200 people and a conversation just watching a conversation yeah but it's but it's clearly like we should move on and go to other questions but there's just no sense of like i should finish this seven part question which is interesting yeah this one guy just kept asking questions today like constantly it was like five minutes probably yeah and there was like people raising their hands like waiting like trying to be polite

and then the guy was like yeah yeah but what about this what about this and it's like uh dude can you please just like and then you've got like other people raising their hands but then someone else will just get the other mic and ask the next question it's very like but it's like people have a lot of strong opinions which you know they've based their income around this platform so it's important i would like to see the difference between the european version of that and the like the different cultural differences do you know i mean i feel like the the atmosphere would be slightly different and like people wouldn't be acting like that necessarily do you know i mean i feel like the the atmosphere would be slightly different and like people wouldn't be acting like that necessarily do you know i mean i'd like to see the difference yeah i've only gone to the very confident north american one yeah

yeah you gotta go the really repressed uh uk one like um sorry sorry excuse me excuse me no okay my cpm's crap well and it's, it's just crazy that we actually get an audience with, you know, the heads of YouTube, which is, you know, one of the largest online platforms in the world. Yeah.

And, and then it just kind of bugs me. Like, like we can ask them whatever we want. This is our opportunity. And then somebody is like, yeah. Um is our opportunity. And then somebody's like, yeah. Um,

so like I uploaded a video and like, it didn't go out to like all my subscribers. And like, somebody's like, well, uh, um, you know,

like the subscribe button and the bell button, like what's the deal with that? I was like, can we, can we just like go a little bigger picture? Maybe like, can we ask a question that hasn't been asked before? Like this is our one opportunity. It gets down to the point where like someone's stepping in just

be like can you just email me the link and like while we'll look at it yeah move on or like let's talk about this afterwards they do get blasted up there and i feel bad for them yeah um i don't know why they don't they're not like pre there are some pre-written questions but a lot of them are just like people just standing up and kind of yelling at them so i feel bad for them in that regard but they they handle themselves pretty well they're very you know they've been they're in they're in the ceo position and you know cbo for for a reason there's no like filter like there's no one asking them what the question they're going to ask first to make sure it's a good question right so it could be anything i also feel like there should be someone like filtering out the questions first and be like you can ask that question it's a good question because some of

them are all right yeah there's some good ones i also feel like they kind of build the room up a lot and i guess there's there's a lot of subscribers in the room and a lot of views in the room but if all those people were gone there'd still be a ton and it's still a perfectly functioning platform like they don't have to do this event. That's always- That's why I appreciate it. That's why I come, honestly. That's always been my take. Like I think there's a little bit of entitlement

from some of the people that come to these things. And it's like, look, you could get rid of everyone in this room and it would be a drop in the bucket for all of YouTube. I think YouTube would be fine. Yeah. YouTube would be totally fine. And that's one of the questions that i wanted to ask them i'm like look i like thank you so much for inviting us here

but like you don't really need us so why why are you throwing this for us like what what are you getting out of this other than us being like you're you're you suck like you know and they're constantly telling us like that they do need us and that like do you know i mean they're like saying oh yeah you guys are this and it's like i feel like i don't believe that definitely like takes effect in some people yeah some people are like yeah yeah i yeah it's like interesting to see the entitlement that some people get and there are a lot of realistic people who are just like you know we're just happy to be here you know it's like we're glad that platform exists still yeah which is why that's the boat i'm in yeah for sure yeah it's strange i mean the one the one good

question that was asked i thought was the issue of children on youtube like that's always kind of been like a weird thing for me like you know child labor like should a seven-year-old child be put on youtube videos and worked you know day in day out for their parents youtube channel and i'm always like super sketchy about that but how do you how do you police that i i mean i feel like when they were talking about it the only way i could see it being like a hundred percent good all the time is there's like an additional application where you actually get like investigated where it's like, these are the working conditions.

Yeah. It's kind of like if you adopt a pet, you know, they come and see if it's like, can a cat live here and stuff or adopt a child. That would be a very, yeah. Yeah.

That's like, then it's like, whose responsibility is that? Like, do you like with, with acting with child actors, you can only work a certain number of hours a day. There's a student teacher there that has to make sure

that the kid is still studying and taking classes and all this stuff. And there's a lot of regulation over that. So when it comes to YouTube, a parent could potentially be taking their kid out of school and just filming a bunch of YouTube videos and essentially fucking up this kid's life for the benefit of their own wallet.

I feel like it's like any of these things. When something new comes along, legislation takes time to catch up to it afterwards so things like you know like drones or whatever like there was it was like a free for all and then like the legislation kicks in afterwards sort of thing when when when it comes to light that there's a problem then it catches up i feel like that's probably what's going to happen i don't know how quickly it's going to happen because it takes time and there's probably a sense of that in the parents where they're like oh we've hit some gold here we need to like get it all now yeah we need to

rinse this kid for yeah and then the kid ends up getting affected by it yeah it's this really sad but like um you know how are you going to enforce that it's like a really difficult question it's also iffy on the level of like the kid doesn't really have a choice at a young age on whether you i mean there's not there's no consent really no so it's like the person that's like giving you know it's like your parent or guardian but if it's the parent or guardian that's making you do it in the first place it's like who do you yeah the kid might grow up to be like super embarrassed by it and then it's just online and they may they may never have had control of the channel themselves which is which is iffy and and it's youtube's been around

so long now that there were some people on stage today who were in high school and uh when they grew up they wanted to be a youtuber and now they're here as a youtuber like a top creator someone said that your video was like the first video they saw on youtube yeah so you've you've like influenced people who were children and are now here with us now they're full-grown adults well full-grown adults well that was the that was one of the youtuber apps that was up there saying that she was like oh yeah i was a teenager i was like watching a thing i'm like oh now you're telling us now you're like working for the company and saying like what we can or can't do it's fine yeah yeah it's it's just weird man the the children's stuff is just strange.

And then the highest grossing YouTube channel right now is Ryan Toys Review. Not Ryan's Toy Review, Ryan Toys Review. I think he's nine now or something. But from everything that I've heard, his dad actually does a really good job of being like, look, if you don't want to do anything, we don't do it do it and he actually his dad was here and kind of spoke to it and he said you know he only works five hours a week on youtube and you know we have a way that if he wants to change anything or he's not excited about that we can easily change yeah whatever it is clearly putting a lot of good stuff into effect because i assume under very high scrutiny being at the level they're at because i met that's a good point actually i met him a

couple of years ago and it you know it's just like a dude with a backpack in it i was he was like talking to me i was like oh what did you looked up his channel i was like jesus christ the views on these videos their most viewed video has more views than our whole channel library combined yeah they have one video that has 1.1 billion 1.8 1.8 yeah i think we're at like 1.7 for our whole channel yeah like nine years yeah which and then you scroll down it's like 950 million 890 million it's like god how many like millions of views does the channel have it's like 29 billion 29 billion oh my god yeah that's it 29 billion which is like several earths that's insane it's absolutely insane and he's just he's like you would never know it by meeting him like i looked it up expecting because i

meet a lot of people here and i'm like honestly i don't know 90 of the people here right because and it's nice to meet them and learn and i always look up their channels and that one i was just like oh my good god yeah that's insane just quietly existing amongst us yeah i didn't know anything about the channel and then gav leaned over to me and just showed me some of the stats while he was talking i was like what what the hell yeah i think the estimate was that they they make something like 13 million dollars a year but now but now they have a tv show they have toys they have like clothing lines in like walmart and target and stuff i couldn't believe it they have store i mean they have um toys and everything so yeah it's it's probably quite a bit more than that

so good for them man very good for them the thing about the the obviously the child kid though is with a channel like gav was saying that high profile it's going to be scrutinized yeah but then which is kind of good because it stops any one from exploiting their child to such a degree that they become that successful do you know i mean because then they would be scrutinized and there would be a check that's put in place that's the hope i just hope there's not like these sort of like lower sort of youtubers that are just grinding the shit out of their kids in the hopes that they'll get somewhere. I don't know. I'm not a fan.

No, I wouldn't do it. Yeah. I mean, there was an arrest recently for a mother and a son for basically putting their youngest kids through a rigorous shooting schedule and locking them in closets when they wouldn't do it. I honestly think it's going to, it's going to like take,

I mean, how it always is with legislation. It's going to take somebody dying to, to actually get something through. So now we've really covered it. Yeah. I think, I think we're running up on time.

Unfortunately, I guess, I guess one last question. If, if you had, uh, uh, if somebody told you that,

uh, you were going to die the next day but you had to film one more slow-mo video what would that slow motion video be it'd probably be the death yeah i'd like jump off a building or something oh oh god it'd be like it'd be like if it was like you know i'd probably prepare and be like what time am i gonna die tomorrow here's how landmines work yeah yeah oh my god so like just the minute before i was gonna die anyway i'd do that okay i'd just do that and be like there you go that's better than just croaking it yeah i'm trying to think of like what was in my dream list of stuff that the fart yeah i definitely

that's what you do one day left on the planet. Yeah. Brilliant. Nice. A nice slow-mo guff. Like the last puff of life. Oh, yeah. The death rattle. All right.
