Chapters
What's up everyone, so I'm back in Ireland and look who I brought with me.
Back in Ireland for the first time, doesn't make sense.
That's slowly getting better, honestly, that's one of your better ones. There's been a few truly terrible Irish impressions, but maybe a few of them are so bad they're good. So the reason Javon is here is, apart from just hanging out and being mates, we are filming my Alpha Elite episode. So obviously I'm so Yeah, I'm pumped, I'm excited, I'm nervous, I'm pumped, I'm everything. So I'm gonna like give you a little bit behind the scenes today and just get you guys psyched up for it in general. So let's go, or as Juvan would say, let's get it! Look at all this, it's like RoboCop. So we just got off the phone with the drone people and thank God They're like saving the day because Jevon forgot his battery charger and they're sorting us out. So we're gonna call up there after this, but I'm going back to my old house. So the OG subscribers will recognize this place. Yeah, yeah, you do your thing. And we're just kind of like just doing a little documentary about my whole life, you know, where everything began, you know, before I moved out and everything. Just we're literally just going through everything. So yeah, back in the old house and it's crazy. Uh, I don't want to give away too much, so you'll kind of find out about my story when the video's done. Alright, so what's happening here is we're on the quest for perfect lighting because Jibon is professional in every sense of the word. So he's kind of like, he's kind of scaffolding, he's like climbing up, he's doing a Spider-Man. He's like your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. So he's just hanging up these old curtains. Oh my god, did you get it? Oh my god, I think he did because I'm gonna say it right in front of my old door. And talk about my past. So we're all wrapped up in my old house. Ugh, get me out of there. Place gives me the creeps. So now we've gotta race across town to get to this kind of drone shop so we can charge the battery and get some crazy cool shots for tomorrow. We have like this plan to get up at the crack of dawn to get a shot that I actually, I don't wanna ruin it for you. I wanna—
Before the crack of dawn.
Yeah, before the crack of dawn. So right, it's time to go all fast and furious and get there before the shop closes.
Sup guys, Rob Lipsett here. Dang it, it goes British again.
No, no, keep it going. I kinda like it.
I like British Japan. We're on our way to Radio Control. See, the thing is with Irish, like British, you know, they talk like this and they're a little bit high up there. When you're Irish, you're cool. So you gotta talk down here like this. Yeah, we're on our way to Radio Control, gotta pick up a charger.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Gotta pick up a charger for the, um, the old drone, the old drone, the old drone. And, um, it's gonna be really cool, these things. This video is going really good so far. Um, we're shooting some really cool stuff, and, um, I'm really excited. Again, my name is Rob Lipsett. Um, There's my girlfriend back there.
That's my lady. My biorr. Say my biorr.
Oh, that's my biorr. Yeah. And things, yeah, it's just great, you know? I couldn't say, I'm just in a great place right now, guys. And I'm excited about life and all. Maybe it's just the luck of the Irish, you know? Yeah, I'm getting that Irish accent down, guys. That's classic, man.
That's classic. Woo! Got him.
Got him. All right, so we're at Green Oak Business Park.
It's dark, just about to head in to Radio Control Group. I'm actually kind of excited to go in here to see some of the drones, like, you know, and all the kind of cool techy equipment. I'm into that stuff. I think every YouTuber is, take their channel to the next level. So this is it. You ready, bro? Let's hope this goes well. So damn cool. This is like an adult's playground. It's like an adult's toy shop. Oh my God. Oh no, don't worry, we'll not.
Yeah.
Oh my God, it's like the world's smallest drone. Uh, yeah.
What's up, man? How you doing?
You guys know each other, right? Oh yeah, I watch your videos. Oh, no way, man. Oh, thank you. What a small world.
One of your subscribers.
Oh man, put it there, man. In that case, we're family, bro. Yeah. New to working here?
Yeah.
Okay, nice to meet you, buddy. I'm Christian.
Nice, nice.
That's crazy. Yeah, yeah, wait, what a small world. And do you work here, or—
Yeah.
Oh, this place is a cool place to work. Look at all this. I would just be in here like playing on the toys all day. Yeah, yeah. Well, Kim, you— Kim landed himself a dream job, man. This is seriously cool. Hey, do you have the real ones in the back? Customers don't pay. All right, let's go.
So funny, you're talking about we're not actually YouTubers.
Thumbnail. All right, goodbye RadioControlShop.ie. They were absolute saviors. So yeah, thank you again, seriously saved the weekend.
That's a better idea. Yeah.
All right, good, let's go. Oh no, what'd you step in? What sneaks are they?
I don't care about it. I just hope my socks don't get wet.
It's an absolute nightmare when that happens. Where we going now?
Uh, school, business.
So me and Javon are sitting in the car watching Christian and Joe sitting in the car. It's like vlog-ception. What do you got going on there? You got, you got your Cheetos, you got a big sandwich, and you got Snickers.
Mm-hmm.
Snickers.
Mm-hmm.
Micronutrients, good man. And a bottle of water. That's a solid meal. See, Javon is obviously, his macros are a lot higher than mine. You know, you're not cutting necessarily.
No, I'm already cut.
Yeah, he's already shredded, so Javon gets to eat a lot more than me, so that makes me a little bit jealous. I've just kind of been watching him eating this sandwich just like, fuck this guy.
It's almost done, bro.
Yeah, it's almost done, but we're going back to my old college to do some recording. Yeah, it's gonna be funny. I'll show you when I get there. I think all you guys know what college I went to. We were back in DIT there. It's the college I went to. It's pretty cool. Some subscribers just came up to me and they're like, "What the hell are you doing?" But all will be explained. Like, you know, you can kind of start putting things together why I'm wearing a suit and stuff, but you know, I don't want to ruin the video, like I said. So all will be explained and What's up to anyone watching this who's in DIT right now? We're just leaving DIT now, probably get something to eat later as well. Hope you're enjoying the behind the scenes of this, and it's also a beautiful day. Turned out to be a lovely day. The weather was terrible at start, but now it's awesome. Look at this, Javan literally does a video anywhere. Like, this is YouTube dedication. All right, so it's the end of the day. You're probably like, what the hell did you do? Like, I'm in this, I'm in a soon, like in the country. But like, just trust me guys, trust the process, it's gonna be awesome. So we're just gonna get some drone footage now, and I know you guys like to see that because I don't own a drone. So when the drone's on the channel, it's a rare occasion. So I'm gonna film Jevon, just get a bit of drone action, and then we're gonna wrap up the video there, maybe go out for dinner. Honestly, spending the day with Jevon is just— it's like an action-packed adventure.
Why is that?
It just is, man. I'm gonna hang out with you just as much as I can because it's just— it's just fun times, bro.
That's such a beautiful sight. Finally got the batteries. Ah, nice sight. Full battery going up on a Tuesday. It's like Ireland, man. Actually, it's 4K 30. Better 4K.
Follow me real quick while I grab the All right, so long but productive day. Javon is over there. Tomorrow's gonna be even longer. Javon's up there doing YouTube stuff, so I'm cooking us dinner. No worries. For me, I made like a noodle stir-fry, and then for Javon, I've put on some boil-in-the-bag brown rice. That's like nearly ready now. I'm gonna make him some turkey and bacon with that as well. I'm gonna make him a surf right too, just put it all together. All right, good night people. It's time to go to sleep for 4 hours and then wake up and jump off a cliff with Javon. I'm not even joking. Good night, keep it real. Gotta do it for the YouTubes. You got it. Ah, let's get it. Just waiting on Javon. Just go jump off a cliff. 4:42. I'm just waiting for Jevon to show up. I don't think I actually even told you what we're doing. We're basically driving to Bullock Harbour and for me to jump off a cliff and get some cool drone shots. And the reason why we're doing it at this time is because we want to catch the sunrise. The sunrise in Dublin at the moment is at 5:17 AM. It takes me 20 minutes to drive there, so he should be here any minute, and that's gonna be awesome. It's actually gonna be so cool. Obviously messing up my day a little bit, getting up at this time. I've already slept, but do what others won't, so you can do what you want, or whatever the saying goes. Brain's not working. Javon should be here now. Hey! How you doing?
Good, man.
You having a good morning?
Yeah, it's been great.
Tell me, let's get it.
Let's get it.
Hey, that's what I needed to hear.
Got a good morning for it anyways.
It's nice and clear, it's not raining. Alright, so I am freezing my ass off. We are about to go into the Wooden Spoon, get some proper breakfast. I cannot wait for it. Hey, vlogging! Um, so yeah, after jumping into the sea, this is just what I need. I might go for the Eggs Benedict. It's good. Thank you.
Glass of water with lemon as well.
Right, wow, thank you.
Excellent.
Yeah, all right, so this is my first time having Eggs Benedict, and then Javon went for the French toast and the omelette. What you getting on that omelette? It's like potatoes, bacon.
Uh, potatoes, bacon, and grilled onions.
Oh, looks clean as fuck. This is literally just what I need after going through what I just went through. I actually feel amazing now, like dipping in the sea, having this for breakfast. I just know today's gonna be awesome.
Woo!
Alright, so I am catching up on emails and editing and stuff like that. Like after BodyPower last weekend, 'cause I didn't get an hour in today, and even like yesterday I didn't get an hour in today, like I just have so much stuff to catch up on. So Jevon has went for a nap, that's why I'm whispering. I was going to go for a nap, but sometimes you just gotta sacrifice sleep. That's, uh, that's the grind, or whatever you want to call it. You know, I don't really like calling it a grind because, like, I love my life. Anyways, right, I think we're gonna have to wake up Javon now because Javon has got in touch with another videographer from Ireland to vlog his day because he'll be recording my day. It's like vlogging a vlog of a vlog. Ah, YouTube. Okay, but now we gotta wake up Javon. Okay, I gave him like a makeshift bed in my office.
Hey, what's up?
What's up, guys? Wait, wait, he's on. Your videographer is here.
Is he? Yeah. Let's say hello then, mate.
So it's like Jevon's my videographer and Thomas is Jevon's videographer. Yeah, so it's like videos like this. Okay, so that is a wrap. The last 2 weeks have just been like so condensed, so like action-packed. First we had BodyPower and then we had like, you know, Javon coming over. And let me tell you, Javon, no one even knows how hard he works. Like honestly, I was, I was astonished. He is, he is the man. Seriously, I, I can't even put into words, right? The two of us, we had such a good couple of days. Like I Can't wait to link up with him again, do more stuff. And we're already planning, you know, trips to see— for me to go to America and all. He is so good. His channel is linked in the description box. And then so last night I was so tired. I swear to God, I slept for 11 hours, if not a little bit more. I absolutely love it, you know, like the whole— the last 2 weeks have just been go, go, go. And I love it, you know. There is 365 days in a year, which when you think about it It's not that much. And imagine you gave 100% to each one of those days. Imagine how much your life would change in a year. Imagine like the year you'd have. You'd have the most epic year ever. So that's the life I want to live, you know. I'm really gonna try step up my productivity, my work ethic even more. And I'm motivated as ever after, you know, being around all these sick individuals the last, uh, the last 2 weeks. So I'm gonna wrap this video up here. Thank you so much for watching. Hope you enjoyed. More to come. Yeah, keep it real. I'm out of here.
