Yo, what's up? You can't even lift. What the hell? Yo, what is going on everyone? Welcome to today's vlog. Now I got Ben with me all the way over from Ireland. He came to London. We're gonna hang out, make some videos, but the plan for today is we got FitCon UK. It's the expo I'm over here for. Right now we're just in the hotel room, but we're gonna head on over in a bit. And now something happened that threw a bit of a spanner in the works. But you know me, I'm very much glass half full, guys. So let me quickly explain. Basically, AIB called me up, it's the bank I'm with, and they were like, hey Rob, you're in UK at the moment? And I'm like, yeah, yeah. And they're like, you're not in India by any chance? And I'm like, no. So someone in India, I don't know how they got my details, they tried to like take thousands out of my account. I think they actually got something out, but AIB much love to you guys. They completely sorted out and I didn't lose anything, but my card is cancelled. So we've got to go to the expo, meet some viewers, some subscribers, have a bit of fun. And then we've got to go into the center of London, go to AIB. AIB, I'm gonna take some money out, and then we're just gonna see the sights, be tourists, and just have a bit of fun. So that's the plan for today. And then Saturday night, we'll like, you know, do something nice, go get dinner or something. Anyways, That is enough of that. Let's get this vlog started. Yeah, I just realized the guy who probably tried to hijack my account is probably watching this now, just like, damn, he's on to me. Alrighty, so we are here at the Olympia. It's a really cool venue, to be fair. About to go in now, and I'm excited to see the turnout, meet a couple people. Beautiful day, great location. We're in London. Life is good. Welcome! Here we go. I don't think they even looked at her. Oh my gosh, I think we just walked in. All right, here we go. I'm actually not at a booth, so I don't really know where to go, but I think there's a little media booth for me, so let's go find it. So nice to meet you, and I hope you guys have a really nice day. Thank you. Have a great day, guys. What's going on, guys? So a little bit of an update. We're backstage at the UK FitCon. I'm just about to go on and meet some people. We're chilling with Michelle, JB. So yeah, two very well-known people in the industry, so it's absolutely surreal for me to just be sitting here. But yeah, it's absolutely crazy. So we're gonna chill out, get some water into us, and then head out. That must be pizza. All right, so finishing up here. Look who's my supporting act. We got Rob Lipsett of ONE, just, you know, my supporting act, Jen Seltzer. So yeah, she's going to take over from where I left off. Tough act to follow. All right, people, so I'm here with the one and only Jen Seltzer. She is my supporting act here, so we're going to take the stage now. How do you find the gold? Amazing. Yeah, yeah, it is. It's similar, similar gold. Yeah, I'm surprised. Yeah, it's going to be an awesome day. And are you here tomorrow? Let's get after it. Legend, man. So good to meet you. Ah, the Burrito Boat! Yes! Oh man, Burrito Boat changes lives. That's it, man. I would love that. Yeah, I'm signed up with you. We just missed you. Oh my God, perfect. Yeah. Oh my God, I'm so glad we ran into each other. Oh, what's your name, bro? Mark. What's your second name? So I, I think I, I recognize that name. I packed that. Yeah, I packed that order. Oh man, thank you so much. I'm going to go up upload a video now as well. Um, and that's the plan. We're here. Thanks so much, guys. Thank you so much for the support. Thanks for coming. Pleasure. See you later. Yo, what's up? Hi, guys! I'm going backstage. He thinks he's a B-side. Yo, mate, so good to meet you. Hey, how you doing? I'm Hello, welcome to today's— whoa, okay, man, you're ruining the vlog. Just random dude shouting in the street. All right guys, welcome to today's vlog. Today is Sunday, we're picking it up from where we left off yesterday. So basically what we did, right, went to the expo, got out, and then it was just the usual kind of YouTube thing. So editing, uploading emails, that kind of thing. So we didn't film, so we're gonna do 2 days in 1 video, and that's kind better as well for an expo day because it's like you don't want two of the same videos. Yeah, yeah, exactly. So today we're just gonna go in now, uh, show the face, uh, hang out, meet as many people as possible. And I'm not gonna lie, I did go out last night. Not like hungover today, just like feeling it slightly, but, uh, because I, I'm, I'm such a lightweight. But anyway, so, uh, let's go in and have a bit of fun. Okay, it's definitely, uh, quieter than yesterday, I'd say. Yeah, I went out last night. Yeah. There is the man himself, the man of the moment. He apparently, he was training in Raw again. I know, yeah, yeah. I can't believe it. Nah, the one day that we're not there. Yeah, yeah. Can I get a picture? I would love that. Can I get a picture with you? Yeah. Oh, I'm buzzing right now. That is literally just made my day. I am so glad I could make your day. That's brilliant. We'll get, we'll get Ben to take it. Do you want me to take it? Yeah, yeah, please, man. That'd be lovely. Legend, bro. Thank you very much. I hope you're having a great weekend as well. No worries. How you doing? Nice to meet you, man. You guys get a photo? Is that okay? I would love that. I love the style. Thank you, man. Appreciate it. Yeah, no asking. Yeah. Okay, right. Thank you so much. It really, really means a lot. Thank you. Nice Uber, isn't it? Yeah. Okay, broccoli chips. What next? What next? All right, let's give it a taste test. So good. Are they good? So good. Here, try it. Like, so wrong yet so right. What the hell? They're amazing. Not sponsored, not paid promo. They are legit. All right, so update is we arrived in the area and it is so nice. It's like so picturesque. Absolutely beautiful. Seems really quiet and just a nice place in general. And one thing is, when I go somewhere for like an expo or an event or a video shoot or something like that, uh, sometimes it's annoying because you do whatever you're there to do and then you have to fly home straight away. So that's why I'm actually in the UK until Wednesday. So I booked a bit of extra time onto it so I can actually like spend a little time, you know, relax, wind down, gather my bearings and enjoy being in a new place before I have an extremely big meh. So that's the plan now. We're going to check into this place. It looks really cool in pictures, so hopefully it lives up to what I've already seen. This is beautiful. Lovely. I'm gonna like, next 3 days I'm just gonna, you know, just relax, slow it down. Yeah, Rob time. Put the meditation, the self-reflection, reflecting on life. Hello? Hey, how's it going? It's Rob here, uh, from Airbnb. Got it. Thanks so much for being such a great host. Oh wow, so nice. Ooh, so cozy. Not sure how I feel about this though. So nice, so modern, so, so chic. Is that a word? C-H-I-C? Yeah, whatever. Don't think so. Okay. Wow, look how nice this is. Whoa. Oh wow, this is so nice. And out here we have a little hot tub hot tub as well. Damn, that's actually what I need right now. I literally need to just sit myself in that hot tub and just be like, uh, barbecue, sun loungers, fancy fake grass, selfie mirror, outdoor selfie mirror. What up? Oh, oh, oh, no way! No, excuse me, excuse me, no way! It's like they knew I was I was coming. They got the isolate as well. This can go to lift to 10, link in the description box. Oh, I might have to get my gamer, gamer, inner gamer back. That's crazy. I used to play— last time I was playing, it was like PS2. Actually, no, no, I used to play Xbox 360. Yeah, that was, that was my thing. Scrabble. Nice. Right, that's everything then. Unreal. Okay, so that is the gist of the place I'll be staying for the next Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. So really excited to just chill out, love the area in London. Oh man, when the Airbnb comes with a dog. That's it, come on. Yeah, come on, come on. Please be my friend, please be my friend. Oh no, come on. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, good. Hello! Yay! This is the best part of the whole place. Yay, we're friends now. So yeah, this is the only person I'm going to chill with for the next couple of days. Like, just forget humans. Can't be mad at you for that, can I? This is like the quirky part of London that I love. Like, I actually— is it bad that I fell for this? And like, Preston, I was like, come on. Come on, take me somewhere. Yeah, I know, but one thing I'm getting better at recently is just living in the moment, being present, and I'm like, I wouldn't be anywhere else in the world than this moment right now, right here. Righto, so, uh, me and Ben had a nice little romantic walk around, uh, it's like the Tower of London there as well, so we're like just getting our tourism on. And so like I said, that's— I want to be like a little bit touristy over the next couple of days But yeah, so we like got some ice cream, chilled out, and just went for a stroll and just talked a bit of life. Yeah, but we're gonna split up now. He's going back to Gio's apartment. Yeah, yeah, so we're gonna split and then I'm gonna go home and I'll finish up this vlog later. Yo, so I just realized I nearly forgot to finish up this vlog. It would be a disgrace if I didn't say keep it real and see you in the next one. So I hope you enjoyed today's video. It was nice and chill, day in the life, and then we've got one more London vlog going up tomorrow, so be sure to check back for that. Keep it real, see you in the next one. I'm outta here.
