Yo, what's up? Welcome to the vlog. We got Mr. Max here and the two of us are starting off our day with a nice leisurely stroll. We're gonna go up Kalani Hill, we're gonna get some drone shots of the ocean, and we're just gonna have a nice start to the day because, uh, later on we got our big kind of like meetup seminar Q&A open workout in Raw James Sandiford. So the numbers of that, the feedback we've got on it are going to be really good. So we're very excited for a day ahead. And so we decided to, you know, just start it off nicely. So enjoy the vlog, we're gonna get some cool cinematics for you. Is he making funny faces again?
I feel like everything we've done is just like things that you would take like a nice girl on a date to.
Well, that's pretty much cinema. That's pretty much it, like a nice walk with the water. Yeah, exactly. We're just having a nice time, a nice man dates all around.
Yeah, dude.
All right, let's get this vlog started. Okay, so we've actually been eating like crap this week, all Mr. Max's fault. Uh, so this is going to be our form of cardio as well. This is what I usually do for cardio, it's go on nice walks in places I enjoy, and I'd much choose that in the summer over like a treadmill or something. Max's vlogs are very cinematic, so this is what you don't see.
Like nothing even happened, dude.
Any day now, come on. So this is my version of a StairMaster. Oh, I get it, wait, because it's the stairs. What a view.
Sobremesa. Here we go.
I'm gonna give you a view of this place, but it's gonna be way better view from the drone than the G7X. So let's switch over. In 3, 2, 1, let's go into an attic, guys.
So I just want to say that I had a great time, man.
Good. Okay, what did you think Ireland was gonna look like, and what do you think of it now?
Just four-leaf clovers everywhere.
And leprechauns?
That's ignorant, dude. I would never ever assume that. But no, this is pretty cool. I imagined it being very green. It's definitely green.
Verde.
Okay, if you're Spanish, you know, of course I'm bilingual.
Can you speak a bit of Irish for us? Say, is it one of them? Is it one of them?
I love getting Americans to speak Irish.
What'd you just make me say?
I like pieces of poop.
I like Dublin City. Oh, is it one of them?
Uh, yeah, what he said. But it's time for Nando's, dude.
Yeah, we're gonna get some Nando's now.
Oh, perfect.
Nando's at it! Oh yeah, I can't wait to open this place— moment!
Cool, well there your menus anyway we're going to come down and take an order by hand then so whenever you're ready?
Yeah cool thank you! This is special treatment getting ordered by hand. Usually have to go up.
Alright, we'll dive in boys let's go ham sandwich as Max would say.
So we are here in Nando's on Andrew Street and they saw Max was in Ireland they said guys why don't you come in have a Nando's on the house so we were like uh yes we're like Nando's addicts Bikes, okay. So yeah, they already got like everything laid out for a super good reception, and we are starving after our little, our little mountain walk. So we're gonna fuel up here, and then we got a big day later on at the meetup seminar thing in Raw Gym. So today is like proving to be a very nice eventful day. It's all going swimmingly. It's a relaxed busy day. Yeah, it's a relaxed busy day. Yeah, that's a good way to put it, Ben. Anyways, all right, time to order. We're gonna go big.
Yeah. Yeah, what he said, dude. Gonna get some chicken, and I think I'm gonna mix it with some chicken. Look at this, it says fresh Irish chicken.
There you go, see, so now people can't complain about like you not having like— like there's a comment that it was like, oh, you know, you went to Talladega when you're in Ireland. It's like, yeah, yeah, this is Irish chicken.
Does the chicken sound the—
they probably say it in Irish though. We don't know him.
Everything's different here. You're one, you're man.
I'm slowly like teaching him Dublinese.
I never know if a bird is an actual animal or a— or a girl.
Or a girl.
What do they call guys? Lads, lads, it's proper.
Let's run you through here. So we've got sweet potato wedges, we got 2 double chicken butterfly burger, we got a mixed leaf salad large because health, and then we got some french fries for the table. And then Max, what did you get? Food.
Uh, okay guys, I got mixed leaf salad. You stole that from me.
I know I did. Yeah, yeah, I did.
Yeah, health is trademarked, copyrighted, patented. Max Tuning, I invented the word health. Okay, I'm just gonna say But we got a wrap. It's a wrap. We got the chicken breastesses and creamy taters.
Say it like an Irish person.
Boil them, mash them, stick them in a stew. Boil them, mash them, stick them in a stew.
Say prawty.
Prawty.
Yeah, prawty taters. Prawty.
Prawty taters.
Irish potatoes.
Nah, I don't like it, dude. I got a wrap, a chicken wrap, some spicy rice, and then whatever this health is. Wow, that looks so sick. And then a butterfly chicken as well. Así, enjoy, dude. Can I get a box of sticks?
Are you serious? Box of sticks? You're joking me. I'm going to Marbella in a couple days. I'm literally, I'm gonna look like a donut.
See, unlike Rob, I care about the vlog, so I'm— this is called eating donuts for the video.
Okay, okay.
Take the Oreo twist. I'll take a blue Cookie Monster. Sometimes when you make YouTube videos, you're just looking for that one thing in the video title and thumbnail, and you just kind of keep making videos until you get to that point in the day when you're like, this is it, dude. And we walk back, he's like, hey, this donut shop's really good. I was like, here we go.
Okay, perfect. 1, 2, 3.
All right, first donut ever.
Go taste test. How is it? Oh my god, you just ate his eye.
First up, Cookie Monster, man.
What's up? Here, we're gonna miss the seminar at 6.
I used to watch like the Ziz on Omegle videos where like, oh yeah, Chat Roulette. Yeah, yeah, RIP Ziz. Yeah, he was the sickest camp.
All right, so we are now picking up Maeve Madden. She is like an Instagrammer fitness person. She's really nice and she's going to be making an appearance at the event tonight as well, so She's just about to hop in now, so we'll introduce you.
Hi Maria!
How are you? So we're right on time. We've like an hour, and so we're gonna like just get in, shower.
Above California, Washington, D.C. is the Texas side of the country. District of Columbia. You can have the front seat. Uh, district of—
Okay, so we are on the way to the meetup, Q&A, seminar, workout at Raw Gym. We should just about make it. Okay, okay, 5:59. Okay, we got 1 minute to get there. And no, but we'll be okay either way. We'll still get everyone's question answered. We'll still meet everyone there and we'll still have a great time. Who's that? That's you. So yeah, let's go, let's kick some ass. I'm excited to see the turnout and this is kind of like the first meetup or event that I've hosted in a long time, so let's give it all.
You ready, Mr. Mike? I can't even top that, you know. We're just going to go in there, we're going to, you know, you want to do good and hope you do good and I think we're going to do pretty good. Dublin Island, so let's see the turnout and chat with the peeps.
Dude, all right, wow, I'm excited, nervous. I'm like, whoa, big turnout.
Let's go!
And the reason we met is from YouTube as well, so that's why it's a platform that I love because It's allowed me to just connect with some amazing people. So Max, I'll let you introduce yourself.
That's something that I try to show on my channel is that, you know, I'm not the biggest guy. I'm definitely not the strongest guy out there, but I think no matter what, if you're really passionate about what you love to do, that being fitness for me, I think that you can turn it into something more than, you know, just a hobby. You can turn it into something that can really change your life in terms of growth and kind of, you know, turning what you love to your passion. The journey. Really embracing the journey.
Journey and every step of the way. And you should not compare yourself to others. It's literally a pointless task, okay? It doesn't— like, why would you compare your chapter 1 to someone else's chapter 2? So once you realize that it's a pointless exercise comparing yourself to others and you start enjoying it and having fun, then that's when things just, like, start to go so much better. Like, people will go onto your channel, they'll see you having fun, they'll be like, oh, this is easy to watch, you know, this is great, this guy's just having fun. So when I got my first 100 subscribers, oh my God, you should have seen me! I was like, everybody look! And then when I hit my first 1,000 subscribers, same thing. First 10,000, again delighted, just loving every step of the journey. 50,000, 100,000, 100,000.
When I started, it wasn't a thing to be like, I'm gonna start a YouTube channel because I want to get a sponsorship, I want to get like X amount of followers. Like, it wasn't even I think I started making videos because I love making YouTube videos. I love the feedback. I love, uh, I think honestly one of the first— because like you're only gonna like prolong how long the injury is going to take to heal. So if you ever do get any sort of injury, wait, wait, wait, watch us on YouTube or something and recover and recover and then go in, because you're gonna thank yourself down the line and you're not gonna hurt yourself even more.
Yeah, I would say it's much more impressive when you go to the gym and you see someone just executing a lift with perfect form rather than just doing weight that's too heavy for them.
People always try to make the buck like quickly initially and think of the long term rather than the short.
Yeah, I'm actually like buzzing off these points. There's such good points. The first ever online plan I did, did them for free. The first ever public speaking event I did, not the first First, you did them for free. Literally just to get my voice out there. So you're not gonna start— like, it's not gonna be overnight success. You're not gonna start at the top.
Okay?
Like, that does not even make sense when you even say it. Realize that you're gonna have to start slow and you're gonna have to build up over time. The first time I ever got, like, some gym gear sent to me, or like a sponsorship, it was like a free sponsorship, okay? So, like, realize that you're gonna really need to build up over time. Until you're doing things by yourself.
Huge successful turnout. Thank you to everyone who came out for Rob and Mr. Potato Head and Mr. Meat. Seriously, Irish love is real.
Quick word for the vlog. Quick word for the vlog. Okay, so that is the talk done. Now we're gonna hang around. I'm gonna make sure I meet every single person. Again, it is like, it's an expo vibe in my own gym, which is like, it's crazy for me to think of that we brought the expo here. It's very cool. So I'm gonna relax here, have a good time, meet everyone, meet all these, these strapping individuals, and then probably get a workout in afterwards. But either way, today's been a good day. So that concludes today. Like, what a day! Started the day off with a lovely stroll up Killiney Hill, went and got an unbelievable Nando's on the house. Went and then had like— this is my first ever event held in Raw Gym, and so it's just like, it's one I'm not gonna forget. Very dear to my heart seeing like everybody just turn out in my stadium, you know, in my home arena. So honestly, it's just such a perfect day. I'm blown away, forever just lost for words as things go on, but I'm absolutely loving it. So stay tuned for more. We're just gonna keep doing it bigger and better. So I'll see you in the next video. Keep it real. Peace. Hey guys, why do you have to ruin the end of every video?
Keep it real.
Oh, I hate you. Peace.
