Rob Lipsett takes viewers through a day in the YouTube House as the Alphalete/Myprotein crew prepares for a fitness expo. The vlog starts with Rob joking about leaving the group, then shows him checking into a hotel arranged by Myprotein, located next to the convention center. The crew rents a car, heads to a Barbell Brigade meetup where they discuss moving to Los Angeles and train together, meeting familiar faces. Later they travel to Long Beach to film at CT Fletcher’s Iron Addicts gym for the iStories channel, interacting with fans, handling a long line, and capturing behind‑the‑scenes footage. The episode ends with Rob reflecting on the excitement for the upcoming expo, his appreciation for the YouTube House community, and his need for some alone time to work, closing with a typical call‑to‑action for likes and comments.
Chapters
Screw those guys, I'm out of here. Ended up getting in a massive fight with everyone. I'm completely in the right, you know, forget it. My bags are packed and I'm out of here. I'm getting a hotel. Nah, obviously not, that was a joke. We are still family and I am going to a hotel that, you know, Myprotein have sorted out for me, hence all the gear, the bag and stuff, because the expo is tomorrow. Today is Friday, so I'm checking into this hotel because it's beside the convention center. Right now we're like, you know, well over an hour away. So, you know, for convenience sake, spend time with the rest of Myprotein crew, I'm heading to the hotel. So we rented a car, we're going to take off now and then check in and kind of have a look. It's in downtown, take a look around, and then we're also going to go to that meetup in Barbell Brigade at 4 o'clock. So that's the plan for today. I'm super excited. Listen, let's get the day rolling. All right, room suite. It has got a desk, thank God for that. Big old mirror, bathroom sorted. Room's perfect, absolutely brilliant. Great base of operations just beside the Expo Center as well. So now I'm gonna put on a gym top, stringer, whatever, and then we are gonna go to this meetup in Barbell Brigade site. Let's hit it.
I'm not that great of a card reader.
All right, so we are just about to hit up Barbell Gate. I'm with Meg and Vitruvian. We've always been talking about like moving to LA, but one thing that is putting us off is the traffic. That is so— I would never move here. Yeah, no, that's sucking balls. But look, we're here now, um, we've just been sitting in a car for ages, so we're dying to move around, lift some wait and get a workout in. So let's hit it up, let's see who's here. I like— I'll be shocked if any Americans like know who I am. I'll be— I'll be absolutely humbled. But all right, let's go and see.
Enjoy every second of the journey, because in 2 years' time, if you look back, you're not gonna remember what happened. For me to hear that, I'm like, it's just so humble of you to say that. For me to hear that, it's motivating as hell. I really appreciate that. No problem. See you in Houston, Texas for the next 6 months.
Alright, so that was a cool session. I saw some familiar faces, eh, probably familiar to viewers too. So we're gonna finish up now, get something to eat, but it's amazing, like the hype for the expo is starting to pick up. Like, I cannot wait for tomorrow. And also, if you're wondering where the rest of the crew is, they are off filming for CT Fletcher, so let's go check them out.
Thanks, Rob. We're over here at the Iron Addicts gym in Long Beach. This is CT Fletcher's gym. We got John here. Hi. We got— shuffle! Look at that. Wow. Oh, great work. Really got a great tool there.
So we're shooting CT Fletcher right now for his channel, for iStories channel.
It's really loud, really loud. So we're standing here and acting like we're really important in front of this beautiful, like, backdrop. People are actually here getting pictures with us. The line, there was a really long line, but it kind of died out. Look, this is the line for us, all these people over here. See all them?
Yeah, there.
We just told them, we're like, you guys have to wait 5 minutes, we have to film the episode.
So you guys have to wait.
Calm down. So we just wanted to update you guys on what's going on. Back to Rob.
That is a nice serving of chicken and broccoli.
Yes. I was like, what are we talking about? How are your jazzy boots?
What is that? Sesame chicken bun. So back in the hotel room and just like what a great evening of meeting awesome people. Like, uh, this evening was great. So now I am kind of like happy to be honest. Like, you know, I love all the people in the YouTube house. I love the YouTube house, but I do need alone time and you know, I'll finally be able to get to work properly. Like that right there, nice desk. Desk, a nice light, laptop, camera. That is happiness for me. So I'm gonna wrap this vlog up here. Hope you enjoyed it. Leave it a like, leave it a comment, and I'll catch you in the next one. And thank you for watching and coming along this journey with me. Keep it real.
