Nah, I'm not retired, but I'm definitely on a break
0:03
I'm focusing on just YouTube and making YouTube content, yeah. I've been going ham
0:09
Literally, like, I filmed almost every day. Really? Just different video ideas, different formats, different things
0:15
Oh my gosh, there's a lot of people here. I read something about collabing with Speed
0:19
Yeah, yeah, I've collabed with Speed several times. Yeah, but are you going to be doing any more
0:23
I did do a song with him. I keep teasing him. I need to release a single, and hopefully this summer
0:29
I'll actually release the song. Okay, there you go. Come on, CGT and perform it live
0:35
Ooh. Now, some celebrities are so famous that they are known by just initials. Yes
0:41
JFK. FAK Twigs or whatever her name is. MJ, Michael Jordan. Yeah, oh, yeah
0:49
Not the other one. No. And I can think of one other. This is a terrible introduction
0:53
No, no, I'm loving it. You like it? Yeah, it's true. It's KSI. Yay
0:58
Yo! I was trying to think of some more myself. D? Who's that
1:06
You can't do that one. Oh, wait. Well, Drake, but... Drake. Oh, yeah
1:11
No. I feel like are you mates with Drake? No. No. Don't try to kick him out
1:20
I just thought that was what you called it. No, no. And Jamie, in real life, his name's JJ
1:25
So his real life name is also initial. There you go. You can't get enough of it
1:31
We've got some big news because, of course, Britain's got talent back on our screens. Well, yeah, it was the first one
1:34
dropped at the weekend. We are, I think the second one's coming out. Me and Kez
1:38
I can never remember anything about them because we filmed them ages ago. Yes. So, they're good though
1:43
aren't they? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. One of the best. Best season ever
1:48
Who can we get on to promote the show? Oh! Who remembers
1:53
No, it was good. Honestly, I personally believe it's one of the best seasons
1:58
It really is one of the best seasons, and that's because we got you. What? No
2:03
Well, no, because we had him before, but you were like a sort of replacement teacher, weren't you
2:08
Yeah, yeah. You just saw every time someone was ill or if someone was late. We got K and I
2:14
You popped in. He's now in for good. Didn't set any homework, and he did so well, they've kept him on
2:19
Because you've seen judges come and go in your time, haven't you? I have. I'm the oldest one there
2:23
What? Not the oldest, the longest. What is it about this fella that makes him so special
2:29
Well, he's current, he's energetic, he's brilliantly funny, he's up for a laugh
2:33
I mean, honestly, I have never seen anyone get out of their seat
2:38
so fast to get on stage. I thought it was me. It's not me anymore
2:43
KSI wins the prize I definitely overdid it What he doing on the stage I just got involved I just got involved If there was an act I was like oh I want to try it myself Yeah I just get on stage and try it
2:55
So, like, trampolining, skipping, motocross. There was one where there was a bit of pain involved
3:04
And I was like, you know what, I'll give that a crack. You're no stranger to pain
3:08
No, no. But it's a great series. What are the other judges all like? Have they been giving you advice
3:13
No, everyone's been fantastic. Obviously, Amanda's always great. Thank you. That's a crate of prime coming to me
3:23
No, we had a group dinner during the filming, and it was awesome
3:29
We found a nice restaurant in St Anne's, didn't we? Yes, yeah, it was actually really, really good
3:33
It was really good. Yeah, I was surprised. I know. Who was last one standing at the dinner
3:42
Oh, we all had a beer. All together. All together. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
3:46
But then I think KSI's team are, I mean, proper. He goes to bed and then they go out
3:52
Who are these people? I don't think we can name one of them. One of them's in the corner
3:57
One of them's not around anymore. Oh. And then, oh my God
4:04
Honestly, they are hardcore. They go out and you see them coming in when we're going down for breakfast
4:09
Right. But KSI doesn't even drink. No. He's pure. Prime only. Purely prime
4:14
I feel like it's important to be on the best form all the time
4:20
Whereas I have to drink to do Grings Good Time. I just have two fingers in my mug
4:27
Well, I feel like there are some acts where I look around like
4:33
what is going on? It does feel like a circus at times. It is a circus
4:38
And it does feel like a prank show sometimes. because people come on
4:42
Of course, your brother famously pranked you in the series before. Can we expect any more appearances
4:47
from the sidemen, maybe? I hope not. No? Who would be most likely out of those boys
4:54
to come on and try and wind you up, do you reckon? This sounds like you're planning something
5:02
I'm not going to lie. I don't think any of them would
5:06
They won't get paid for that. No. Oh, well, they're also just kind of scared to be on stage like that
5:14
Yeah, they're more of a behind the scenes. Not behind the scenes, but in a studio
5:19
To the side. Yeah, to the side. That's why they're on the side
5:23
Exactly. What about, can I ask you, what's any more plans to do, any more boxing
5:28
Because I read this thing that you said you were retiring. No I not retired but I definitely on a break Why is that I focusing on just YouTube I making YouTube content yeah I been going ham Literally like I filmed almost every day
5:44
Really? Just different video ideas, different formats, different things, just to try and improve the YouTube channel
5:51
Yeah. Where'd you get the kind of inspiration? What kind of... Where'd you get the inspiration from
5:55
There's a book. He writes things down in a book. Does he
5:59
Inspiration, and it's like a Bible. Really? I've seen it. What? Yes
6:03
Yes, it's true. This is news to me as well. Well, I've seen the book of content
6:10
Well, it's also just on notes. Don't forget, I'm two decades older than you
6:18
so I still do pen and quills. Quills and paper. But, yeah, I normally just have a group chat
6:26
with a few of my team, and we just work on different ideas
6:30
So I'd say one of the ideas that we do is we have random people coming up on stage
6:37
And if they make me or my mates laugh, we give them £1,000
6:42
Okay. So the most I've given is about £28,000. To what person
6:47
No, no, no. In an episode. Oh, my gosh. So, yeah, out of like 50 people, 28 people make me laugh
6:54
And one of the things that do really well, because there'll be lots of people who, you know, I remember my kids
6:58
always used to say I said what are you going to do when you grow up I want to be a YouTuber yeah I want to be a YouTuber yeah
7:03
he used to be footballer yeah now he's I want to do YouTube yeah
7:08
well it's the future it is the future it's the now and it's the future
7:12
what should those people be doing what's the kind of thing that really resonates at the moment
7:16
what are the things that do well I'd say right now going onto YouTube is pretty hard
7:19
it's pretty saturated so you kind of want to go through different social media platforms okay
7:25
so Instagram TikTok as a way to grow an audience and grow a community
7:31
And then from there, slowly move towards YouTube and just make content on both platforms
7:37
and then eventually make them. Because it seems to me that some people kind of did. I'm writing this down. You might have to help me out here
7:42
This is not my area of expertise, but someone like, was Mr. Beast was just giving away large sums of money
7:47
Yeah, yeah. And that was a thing? That was his thing. He would just do crazy giveaways
7:52
And over time, he'd create formats where he would give away things for people to do stuff
7:59
And is that still a big deal? Yeah. Okay. He's the most subscribed
8:03
Right. Yeah, yeah. He's got like almost, I think like 300 million subscribers
8:09
And what does that actually mean? So again, you just have to help me out here
8:13
So in the world of YouTube, if you've got 300 million subscribers
8:17
you get paid what? How does the money work? The money is a lot
8:23
I think So you run ads in your YouTube Yeah yeah So there ads on YouTube videos So you can also get paid through YouTube Premium
8:34
I sound like I'm promoting YouTube. No, no, no. I'm genuinely interested
8:38
Are you thinking of setting something up, Jeremy? Who knows? Just saying. But it's good
8:43
The money on YouTube is very good. I think it's probably one of the best
8:47
compared to everywhere else, compared to TikTok, Instagram, all these other places
8:51
That's where you want to be. Yeah, yeah. And honestly, for me, I use it as a great foundation for everything else
8:58
So if my YouTube is popping, then I can transfer content to other places
9:06
So, for example, with Britain's Got Talent, we did a joint crossover video
9:13
where I got me, Ginge, my brother, and H, and we were judges
9:21
They were judges. Yeah, and we had people coming up, and they had to entertain us for two minutes
9:25
If they managed to do it without us pressing the red buzzer, then they would get a grand
9:30
And if I thought they were fantastic, I would give them five grand and press the golden buzzer. Sweet
9:35
Yeah, so stuff like that is a way to help promote Britain's Got Talent as well
9:41
So, you know, you've got different audiences on, you know, who watch, like, TV as well as YouTube stuff
9:48
So we thought, oh, okay, let's cross-promote. make a YouTube video, promote Britain's Got Talent doing that
9:55
and then they'll want to watch the Britain's Got Talent on TV as well
10:00
Hopefully. And how many subscribers you got? I have 17.23 million. Stop it
10:08
Yeah, yeah. It's just unbelievable. But, I mean, I've kind of like stopped
10:13
for quite a while. Not stopped, but I wasn't as active as I am now
10:18
Sure. So he's gone back to it. Are you going to be bringing any more music out? Oh my gosh, there's a lot of people here
10:22
I read something about... We'll come to that in a minute. Collabbing with Speed
10:27
Yeah, I've collabed with Speed several times. Yeah, but are you going to be doing any more
10:31
I think, I mean, I imagine... Are you singing again? I imagine we'll always just do stuff with Speed
10:38
I did do a song with him, but I don't know if it's ever going to properly come out
10:42
I keep teasing it, but it's... It's like, I don't know. I need to release a single
10:48
and hopefully this summer I'll actually release the song. Okay, there you go
10:52
That'll be cool. Put your finger out. Come on, BGT and perform it live
10:58
Oh, I wonder if that was the plan. Oh, wow, that could be something
11:05
