So little time, so much to do.
Please, please, just— can I please vlog? I'm actually gonna put that in now. Alright, what's up everyone? Welcome to today's video. How depressing is this? We're in LA and we're just sitting in a dark apartment with the blinds down, but that's how it is. Basically, we spent the whole morning kind of editing, uploading YouTube videos, Instagram videos, everything, you know. Like, people think like YouTubers don't do anything, but honestly There's not enough hours in the day. Anyways, let's get today rolling. I decided to vlog because I just like doing it.
So let's go!
Starting off today with, I don't know, it's not fro-yo, it's like, what is it? It's like fro— frozen juice. Frozen juice, which sounds absolutely disgusting, but it's actually really nice. I'm gonna show you it here. I, I haven't seen it before. We got it yesterday. It was delicious. So this is my friend Andrew, and we're bros. We made friends yesterday. And what is this stuff again?
So it's frozen juices. Yeah, yeah, it's like basically what you get in our juices that we get here, it's all cold-pressed. So we have like 4 different flavors, um, made with like, um, you got like vegetable protein, coconut milk. So we have 4 flavors: greens, fruit, chocolate, and vanilla. And everything that's in a Nutri-Pak is basically all that's in there. So for example, our vanilla almond is almond paste and soft vanilla bean, chocolate, almond paste and soft cacao.
That's it.
No dairy, no added sugar, nothing like that.
Exactly, very minimal ingredients. And you have like the macros, is This is perfect. He even says like there's people come in here and like they're on prep and they like bring their scales in. I'm not that extreme right now, but there are stages where I'm kind of like that. Okay, citrus freeze. So the lowest calorie one is the vanilla freeze. Okay, I'm gonna go vanilla freeze. Oh baby! That is good. Gotta get the essential fats in. Exactly, some healthy fats. That's a work of art, my man. Also, what do you guys think of that new Instagram Stories thing? You know, Instagram just completely did a number on Snapchat, but I don't know, think about it. I think, I think I like it. But then again, I'm like, did I just spend all that time trying to build up my Snapchat and then this comes? Because like, I get like nearly— I put up an Instagram story there and I get like nearly more views on that than I do on Snapchat. I'm just like, do I quit YouTube now? I don't know. Nah, I'm never gonna quit YouTube. Nothing will ever replace YouTube. YouTube is something special. But I don't know, comment down below what you guys think about it. I think it's pretty cool, to be honest. I'm gonna stop wearing snapbacks 'cause y'all are real quick to tell me that I look stupid when I wear them. But thanks, that must mean like you're real friends, 'cause you know, real friends will tell you when you look stupid or when you got a booger in your nose. Fake friends won't, they'll leave you going around like an idiot. To all those people saying I look stupid with a snapback, I know you secretly love me.
I am so happy with the way that turned out.
I got like a 0 faded into 1 on the sides. As usual, and they even had my favorite hair product, Layrite. So on with the day. I'm just happy after getting a good haircut. Pro tip: get your haircut about 2 days before the main event because you want to give it a bit of time to settle in, you know. Timing is everything when it comes to getting your hair cut. And that is what I'm gonna get for lunch. Sarah's gonna go for turkey bacon egg white, and I'm gonna go for a spinach feta wrap. And I love how they have the calories through them all. 290 calories, easy. Picked up my outfit for the YouTubers Retreat in no other place than Zara. Just cannot go wrong with that. I'm going to show you it in a couple of days on the day that I wear it. I'm going to wrap today's vlog up here. Didn't get to vlog too much today, so do you know what I'm going to do? Going to pick things up tomorrow. So I'll see you in the morning. Oh yes, fresh pair of Alphalete shorts for me today. Alright, what's going on everyone? Part 2 of this vlog and look where we are. We're at Barbell Brigade. I was here like 6 months ago around January and it is good to be back. Despite being a very like badass powerlifting gym, they really do make everybody feel at home. So let's go on in, see if we can find our LA crew. Well, hey there, Mr. Max.
What's going on? Not yesterday, man. You were too busy chasing all the, uh, gold coins at the end of the tunnel.
Yeah, me and Max, like, yo, we met like a day and he's already coming at me with the, like, racist Irish jokes. Is that racist Irish? He slagged me about the lucky charm.
What is it? It's being dicked out.
Oh, what? Oh, it's gonna be a very YouTube kind of day. Crew just arrived there now and I love the atmosphere. I'm excited. I'm gonna hit legs. I'm gonna be the weakest motherfucker in here, but who cares? Uh, gonna hit legs and abs, so let's go. Yo, you got that One Tree on deck? We are Myprotein only, right? We're not going near this shit.
Hey!
Oh my God, I was like, who the hell is this? Yeah, and look who joined us! Oh God, I think I just lost my camera. The crew in Barbados is just like lit, as the Americans say. I'm so—
I'm still—
I'm still getting the lingo, but yeah, no. Lit!
Look at everyone! Yeah! Go, go, go! Come on, up, up, up! All right, just popped out for a second to talk, tell you how the workout's going, cuz music's very loud in there.
Things are actually going quite well considering like the situation, you know, no knee sleeves, no squat shoes, don't have my own belt. Things are going well, uh, but we are about to try this thing that I've never tried before and it looks awesome. It's called the Pit Shark. I've never even like came across this machine in Ireland, but I've seen it on YouTube and stuff, so I can't wait to try it out. Time to vacate the building. It is Uber time. That was some session, I'll tell you that in a minute. Home sweet home. And you know, I can kind of talk about that workout. And first of all, really good workout, okay? Barbell Brigade, great atmosphere. And like, you know, we were all pushing each other, and then like towards the end we started like fooling around, as you see. So, you know, sorry if the clips are kind of just thrown together, it's just a bit of raw footage. But thing I want to talk about is like the power of YouTube or something. Like, I literally started off as a subscriber to all these people, and like, you know, I started off with zero subscribers, just, just like anyone, you know. I didn't get any like big shoutouts in the beginning or anything, and it's just like, if you put in the work, you can make it, you know. Anyone can. And that's just crazy. I used to be watching these guys, and now I'm with these guys in their video, these guys and girls. And I know it's just surreal to me because I'm still like where you are. I'm still a viewer, you know. I still find this, you know, very, very surreal me. I'm a fan of all the people that I was just training with. So, you know, it's crazy, it's nuts to me. And I hope you guys find that kind of like relatable as well. Like, I'm still just, you know, what are you? So I'm gonna go in, get ready, and then we're all going out for dinner tonight apparently. I'm gonna check my messages and see what's up. Next meal is going to be some tuna sushi rolls. I'm so hungry. I am using chopsticks because more cultured and shit. All right, last bite. Let me show you my chopstick skills. Just chilling here, watch my boy Javon. Great vlog, if I do say so myself. I'm not just saying that because I'm in it. Well, so we're heading out to dinner with the whole kind of LA crew, so I'm finishing up things here. I'm like high on life right now. So like, honestly, anyone watch these videos, it means a lot if they inspire you to go to the gym, motivate you to be more productive, make better food choices, and live a healthier lifestyle. Thank you, thank you for watching. Wrapping things up here. Hope you enjoyed the vlog. Keep it real. See you in the next one. Bonus footage: what I'm wearing tonight, really casual, Alphalete scoop neck, chinos, Daniel Wellington brown shoes. And let's give you a look at Sarah as well. She is looking fantastic. Uber is here, time to go.
