00:00 Hey mister!
00:00 Hello!
00:01 What's your net worth?
00:03 Geez, what a question Martijn!
00:05 Well, uh...
00:07 Zero.
00:08 Zero?
00:09 Yeah, well if you look at the...
00:11 Uh...
00:12 The way how to calculate net worth...
00:14 And you do the math...
00:16 My net worth is zero.
00:18 *laughs*
00:19 My favorite part about being a YouTuber...
00:22 Is that I'm able to film fun videos...
00:26 Share them...
00:27 And make people's days a little bit better.
00:30 When are you going to tell us about your new game and what it is?
00:34 June 8th.
00:35 June 8th?
00:36 Yep, yep, yep.
00:37 We'll make a whole video about it.
00:39 We'll talk about it for a while.
00:41 But um...
00:42 June 8th is the day that we're gonna announce.
00:47 It's a beautiful game, a skateboard game we've been working on for almost four years now.
00:53 And um...
00:55 To me it's been one of the craziest projects I've ever worked on.
00:58 One of the sickest projects I've ever worked on.
01:01 One of the projects I'm most proud of that I've ever worked on.
01:04 Um...
01:05 Worked on with an insane amount of people.
01:08 With super smart people.
01:10 So I'm super excited to show it to everyone.
01:13 Um...
01:14 Yeah.
01:15 The trailer is sick.
01:16 June 8th.
01:17 June 8th.
01:18 Yes.
01:19 Do you recall what the funniest moment was that you've ever had in recording a video?
01:24 Oh yes.
01:26 Oh, easy.
01:28 It was uh...
01:29 I did a video with Jelly and Slowgo.
01:32 And uh...
01:34 This was one of the few times that we were together.
01:37 This is...
01:37 We're in person together.
01:38 And we're in Spain.
01:40 I live there and Jelly lived there and then Josh flew in.
01:44 And we said, "Okay guys, let's all record a video."
01:48 "Let's spend like a day or two and we're just gonna record, record, record."
01:52 And we knew they were gonna be good because we all had come up with some hilarious ideas.
01:57 And I said, "Okay, I want to do a Try Not To Laugh Challenge."
02:01 Which I had done with Jelly prior.
02:03 And I had...
02:05 I took this idea from...
02:06 I think it was Road to Shaw where he put water in his mouth.
02:09 And when you had to...
02:10 When you laughed you spit the water into the face of the person in front of you.
02:15 I thought it was a hilarious concept but I thought, "Okay, you know what?"
02:18 "We can spice this up."
02:20 So rather than water, we got Diet Coke and Mentos.
02:24 And whenever you had to laugh, you always had Mentos in your mouth.
02:27 When you had to laugh, you had to put the Diet Coke on your mouth.
02:31 And what would happen is all the Diet Coke would squirt out of your face.
02:36 So we set it up.
02:37 I got a bunch of Mentos.
02:39 I got a bunch of Diet Coke.
02:40 It's me sitting there, Jelly sitting there, and Slogo sitting there.
02:44 And I have a video ready that I'm going to show the guys to...
02:51 You know, it's a Try Not To Laugh Challenge so you got to react to something.
02:55 And we just sat down.
02:57 I didn't even have time to play the video and we already just started laughing.
03:06 And the moment one person laughed or joked, that's when it just completely spiraled out of control.
03:13 And we just didn't stop laughing.
03:15 And the entire video, we didn't even get started.
03:19 We didn't--it was just us laughing.
03:22 It was just us having Diet Coke and Mentos in our mouths.
03:25 And that is the entire video.
03:28 And then at the end, after like 15 minutes, we had ruined all the Diet Coke.
03:31 We had ruined all the Mentos.
03:34 And I'm like, "Oh, well, I guess that's the video."
03:39 I never expected it to do so insanely well.
03:43 It ended up being one of the best videos I've ever posted.
03:46 And in my opinion, also one of the funniest videos I've ever posted.
03:49 What a lot of people don't know is afterwards, we started cleaning up.
03:53 And what Jelly and Slogo did was they wiped all the Mentos into the pool.
03:59 And it stayed in the pool for quite a while.
04:02 Yeah, that didn't dissolve for quite a while.
04:05 But eventually, we got it cleaned up and it was good.
04:07 Nice. Do you think that you'll ever quit YouTube?
04:10 Because you've already--
04:11 I've already quit YouTube.
04:13 Yeah, I mean, you've already quit gaming.
04:15 Yeah.
04:16 A lot of people are like, "Oh, when are you going to quit YouTube?"
04:21 And I'm like, "Man, I think I retired like three years ago."
04:25 And then since then, I started doing more passion-driven content,
04:32 focusing more on running the business and running other YouTube channels.
04:36 But yeah, no, like when I was full-time YouTubing, it was 24/7.
04:41 Like I would wake up, think of video ideas, go into recordings,
04:45 focus on thumbnails, focus on the production.
04:47 And that's all I would do.
04:49 And then now, it's evolved into a different job description.
04:55 So, I would say I'm already retired.
04:58 And this is more of a legacy building.
05:01 I think now it's also more a passion project.
05:03 I'm really doing what you feel like.
05:05 Very much so.
05:06 Very much a passion project, yet still, obviously, a business
05:11 that comes with all the business facets.
05:15 And in all honesty, I've never enjoyed my work and my job
05:19 as much as I am enjoying it every single day now.
05:23 So, I think that's a great sign.
05:25 That's also why we're in Sweden, right?
05:27 That's also why we're in Sweden.
05:29 Google called and said, "Hey, do you want to talk about AI and creativity?"
05:34 In front of a few experts here and companies here.
05:38 And we did.
05:39 And we educated them on how we use AI and how we're building these applications.
05:43 And they loved it.
05:44 They were very impressed.
05:45 And to my surprise, I thought I was going to be the underdog here.
05:50 I thought I was going to be behind.
05:52 I was like, "Oh, no. The stuff that I'm showing is not cool enough.
05:56 Maybe I should impress them more."
05:58 And then afterwards at the party, they're like, "We were blown away
06:02 by the first thing you said and showed and just the virtual influencer."
06:06 And I'm like, "You were impressed by Blue?"
06:09 Blue is old news. Blue is like two years old at this point.
06:12 What's up, man?
06:14 Hello.
06:16 Oh, my God.
06:18 Fan meeting.
06:19 How are you doing?
06:20 I'm doing great. Oh, my God.
06:22 I was yelling for the Afro. I didn't think it was you.
06:24 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
06:25 Oh, my God.
06:26 All the time.
06:27 Do you have a question for Jordi?
06:31 What happened to your shirt?
06:33 Oh, I'm retired. We just answered.
06:35 Yeah.
06:36 Have a great time.
06:37 Bye, guys. Bye-bye.
06:38 That was fun.
06:41 Yes, I just answered the question already. I'm retired.
06:44 Yeah.
06:45 Just to follow up on the question, a lot of people are like,
06:48 "Did you quit YouTube?"
06:50 Obviously, we didn't quit YouTube if you're watching this video.
06:53 We still post every now and then.
06:55 But the whole obsession around YouTube is still there.
07:00 We have a bunch of other channels.
07:02 One of them is Blue, which is still running, and it's extremely successful.
07:07 But just me being in front of the camera--
07:11 I explained this yesterday to a bunch of people.
07:14 It's like at one point, after doing it for 10 years,
07:17 you just get tired and exhausted.
07:20 Looking at the stuff that PewDiePie has said on his retirement,
07:27 I feel like I'm like, "Oh, I finally understand."
07:30 Yeah.
07:31 I finally understand.
07:33 At one point, you can be sitting behind your desk and making videos day in, day out,
07:39 chasing the highs, chasing the virals.
07:44 You can be making a good amount of money with this.
07:49 But there's going to be a point where it's just not fun anymore to do that.
07:56 You have to do the act, right?
07:57 To do the act, to play the game where you chase views.
08:01 And that's the main thing.
08:03 At one point, I just really wasn't enjoying that anymore.
08:09 We switched to just doing more of the stuff that I thoroughly enjoy,
08:14 that gives me energy,
08:18 and just embracing the fact that you go from being a professional tennis player
08:23 to just being a hobbyist tennis player,
08:26 and accepting the fact that you're not trying to compete with
08:29 the absolute biggest tennis players in the world,
08:32 and you're not aiming for the number one,
08:34 but you still like the tennis sports.
08:36 Now I'm training and teaching and coaching other tennis players
08:41 on how to become the biggest tennis player in the world.
08:44 So that's the difference.
08:47 That's what happened, what I do.
08:52 Probably also why I don't know if I'm ever going to be recording with Jelly and Sol anymore,
08:56 because it's like, yeah mate, I'm 28.
08:59 The moment this video goes live, I'm 28 years old.
09:02 I started when I was 17,
09:04 which means that almost a majority of my life,
09:07 it's getting close to half my life,
09:10 has been this.
09:12 Doing YouTube and obsessing over YouTube and making YouTube videos.
09:16 I still love to obsess over YouTube,
09:18 but making the YouTube videos part,
09:20 my energy levels are depleting.
09:22 I want to have a healthy work-life balance,
09:27 and I have bigger goals than I had years ago.
09:32 Yeah, and that's very natural, I think.
09:36 So very mature.
09:37 Yes.
09:38 Do you ever want to collab with other YouTubers?
09:43 Oh, I would love to collab. Yeah, 100%.
09:45 I do quite a lot of collabs nowadays.
09:48 I think I do more collabs now than I've ever done in my entire influencer career.
09:55 No, I love it.
09:57 Any creative ideas, any YouTubers, whatever, hit me up.
10:02 Let's do something.
10:03 Nice.
10:04 I think I did, I would say, 20 collabs this year.
10:08 Yeah.
10:09 So it's a good amount.
10:10 And then it's not only on YouTube, it's podcast, it's Instagram, TikTok.
10:13 YouTube, podcast, Instagram, TikTok, everything.
10:16 MySpace, Facebook, LinkedIn, I'm joking.
10:18 If you were born a son or a daughter of a celebrity,
10:23 what celebrity would you choose?
10:26 The child of Johnny Depp.
10:32 Johnny Depp?
10:33 Yeah.
10:34 Why?
10:35 I don't know.
10:36 He seems like such a cool dad.
10:39 That's it.
10:41 What do you rate Sweden?
10:44 Mate, I love Sweden. Stockholm, love it.
10:46 Yeah, no, straight up, I'd say one of the best places in Europe.
10:51 Only the bike lanes, right?
10:52 I mean, that's just me being a picky bike.
10:56 Well, we're from Amsterdam.
10:58 Exactly.
10:59 We love our bike lanes.
11:00 The bike lanes gotta be good.
11:01 Stockholm, gotta invest more into that.
11:03 It's super nice.
11:05 Oh, wow.
11:06 View.
11:08 Do you remember that you asked the question to your viewer what their favorite moment view was?
11:12 Yeah.
11:13 Oh, yeah.
11:14 Actually, one of the answers was this JDS logo thing with the Coco Mentos.
11:18 The Coco Mentos is such a funny video.
11:19 It's so funny because it's only you guys laughing and nothing else.
11:22 It's ten minutes, just people laughing and spitting Coco Mentos in each other's face.
11:26 It really shows that, I think, viewer satisfaction or how do we say that?
11:29 Mate, it really throws all the YouTube theories out of the window.
11:34 Just, mate, people talking about storytelling.
11:38 What's the story there?
11:39 Just having fun.
11:41 Don't try cracking that, you YouTube consultants.
11:43 So just have fun, just have a good time.
11:46 And that's it.
11:48 So, if there's any other question or is there any other question that you would like to...
11:53 Oh, what I would like to ask the viewers.
11:55 Who's your favorite YouTuber nowadays?
11:58 And why?
12:00 Yeah, I would love to know.
12:02 Like, I have my favorite YouTubers.
12:04 I've got a few.
12:05 We talked about it in the previous Q&A.
12:07 But I would love to know what the viewer's favorite YouTuber is.
12:10 Or influencer, just any platform.
12:12 Is there anyone in particular you're like, "Oh, that person's hilarious."
12:16 Or, "Great stories."
12:18 Yes.
