00:00No, dude! I have heartbreaks!
00:03I don't like my life sometimes.
00:05I've gotten into a lot of trouble for this already. I'm not going to answer that.
00:09Why do you feel like maybe sometimes you're misunderstood?
00:17Ladies and gentlemen, we are with the one and only Beer Biceps in his bachelor pad.
00:24That's what it is?
00:26Yes, it is. What should I call you, Ranveer or Beer Biceps?
00:29You can call me Ranveer.
00:30You know, with your line of work, you're usually the one asking questions and driving conversation.
00:35What does it feel like being on the other side of that?
00:37Feels good, bro. It all feels like one continuous stream of consciousness.
00:41Whatever that means. But I will do my best to make this as difficult as I can for you.
00:47How about we start with a zinger?
00:49How much money do you make off YouTube?
00:51Let's start right there.
00:53I've gotten into a lot of trouble for this already. I'm not going to answer that.
00:57Okay, if you're going to plead the fifth, that's fine.
00:59Lovely house. It's really massive.
01:01Why don't we start here? Why do you have a curtain with no windows?
01:04So, I feel on the inside, in my heart, I'm a hippie.
01:08And for some reason, macrame, these jute-based home decor pieces remind me of the fact that I'm a hippie.
01:16Of course, you and I know what macrame means. Why don't you explain it to them?
01:20Dude, I don't know what it means. This is one of my home decor posts.
01:25Is this your house or is it also a workspace? The team also comes here?
01:29Yeah, as of now, it serves as both. Eventually, I want to move my mom in.
01:33But right now, my team is working out of here as well.
01:37You know, I'm not even trying to be funny right now. This is the size of my apartment.
01:41I'm not even trying to be funny. That's amazing.
01:43That is a magnificent view you have there.
01:46Every time we're super burnt out with YouTubing ideas, we come to the balcony and there's YouTubing ideas in my mind.
01:53It just comes to you. Amazing.
01:55And I heard that your friends gifted you plants. Is this true?
02:00Yeah, I'm a young man in his thirties, man.
02:03That's no justification. I would never want friends to gift me plants. That's the end of it.
02:09Bro, I'm not one of those planty people.
02:12Planty people?
02:13Planty people, but you get into it. Trust me.
02:16Do you? Okay, so you're not watering this by yourself at all?
02:19Yeah, yeah. Occasionally.
02:21But, you know, it's more about the love and kindness energy.
02:26Okay, take it easy.
02:28Oh my god. What are you saying? How old is that?
02:34I don't know. I'm honestly very detached from these.
02:37I think it distracts you in this process of YouTube.
02:40And I think YouTube's come up with a fantastic distraction for YouTubers.
02:44Hey, take this. You crossed 100K.
02:48Yo, remove the macrame, whatever that is. Put all of this there.
02:51Honestly, this would give me tension, dude.
02:54I would serve my guests tea and coffee using that as a tray if this was my life.
02:59When I just moved in here, a couple of my writers stayed here.
03:02And then it just got too work energy centric.
03:07So they moved out into their own spaces.
03:10And now this is the remnants of the writing energy.
03:13I see. So this is where you're dropping your bars, your poetry.
03:17Why don't you give us two bars for the camera.
03:20Nihal is looking so fly.
03:27Energy is getting me so high.
03:30Okay, let's leave that.
03:33This is where the India's smartest podcast is shot.
03:38It's now happiness through curiosity.
03:40Because we're trying to have more international flavor.
03:43Okay, I hear you.
03:46More macrame.
03:48Thought I had that.
03:50So Ranveer, when did you start making YouTube videos?
03:53Started back in 2015, on the 15th of August.
04:01How did you get your start on YouTube though? What video was that for you?
04:04It was just a lot of bodybuilding related stuff.
04:07Back in the day, my ultimate career goal was to start a chain of gyms, which hasn't happened.
04:12And the career goal changes.
04:14So depending on what the career goal is at the moment, it kind of reflects onto YouTube.
04:18Because YouTube channel is a reflection of your personality.
04:21So I forgot your question, bro.
04:24Wow, man. You're great at conversation. You should start a podcast.
04:27Oh, wait. How did you get your start on YouTube?
04:31So I would train people in the morning.
04:33And then in my break time, I'd quickly get something to eat and then run to the beach.
04:37And then jog next to people and tell them, subscribe to my YouTube channel.
04:41So there are people casually strolling on the beach and you're just haunting them with flyers.
04:45And they'd actually subscribe.
04:47And it taught me a lot of sales skills.
04:49And you know what sales skills translate to, right?
04:52Your dating life.
04:54Okay! I love how he took us there.
04:56Let's talk about your dating life.
04:58So how long have you been single then?
05:00So, since May I've been single?
05:03Okay, it's not too long.
05:05Let me guess why you are single.
05:07Did you at any point gift your partner plants?
05:11No, I rapped for my partner.
05:13Energy is getting me so high.
05:17So let's dial it back. Let's talk about your college days maybe.
05:20What were you studying?
05:21Studying the effects of alcohol on the human body.
05:24And the effects of a lot of things that aren't meant to be there on the body.
05:29Okay.
05:30And you're from Kerala, right?
05:32Yes. Shut up.
05:34So what are you trying to say?
05:36Anyway, never mind.
05:38So, yeah. I forgot your question again, bro.
05:43Just lost in...
05:44Lost in what?
05:45Your Malayali energy.
05:47Oh, anything. This guy just talks his way out of the situation.
05:50Your college days. Tell us a little bit about your college days.
05:52Just very angsty.
05:54I did engineering.
05:55I got a fitness certification just for fun.
05:58Never thought it'll help me in my career.
06:00But it became like the centerpiece of my career.
06:02I think I was just a really angry dude.
06:04Like, inherently.
06:07And alcohol would just let the anger settle a little bit.
06:11I see.
06:12I say that now.
06:13Back then, I would've just told you,
06:14No, I like to party!
06:16But actually, it was the anger which was being worked out.
06:22So then from those days to now,
06:24you were listed in Forbes Asia 30 under 30.
06:27That's amazing. Congratulations.
06:29How does that feel?
06:30It felt nice, but it wasn't a nice feeling afterwards.
06:34I realized how much happiness I've traded away in the last 5-6 years.
06:39So it's a strong thing I want to tell young people.
06:42It's a great achievement and all that.
06:44But don't make it the only thing you want in your 20s, dude.
06:48It's terrible as you age.
06:50And every year that you don't get it, you're thinking,
06:52Oh, f**k!
06:53Sorry, did I just...
06:55No, that's fine.
06:57Oh, f**k!
06:59I haven't got it yet!
07:01So by 27, I gave up.
07:03I would tell my team,
07:05It doesn't matter.
07:07Are you materialistic right now?
07:09Materialistic for the sake of my job.
07:13Like showing that I'm materialistic.
07:16I think it goes hand in hand with the brand we're building.
07:19Where it's aspirational.
07:21And a lot of young people aim for these things.
07:23And these are things I aimed for when I was younger as well.
07:25I forgot your question.
07:27I'm walking out, yo.
07:29That's three strikes, guys.
07:31I get lost in his eyes, dude.
07:33Lost in anything.
07:35So now we're going to do a segment called the OK Boomer segment.
07:38It is where I quiz our guests on some of the Gen Z lingo.
07:42Are you familiar?
07:43Yeah, I think so.
07:45I love it when the guests are confident.
07:47I love it.
07:48I'm going to throw three words at you.
07:49You're going to tell me what it means.
07:51What does keep it a hundred mean?
07:53Wow, I don't know.
07:56I thought I'll get it like that.
07:58Keep it a hundred.
07:59Is it like dress well?
08:01How did you get there?
08:02Think out loud.
08:03How did you get there?
08:04I don't know, bro.
08:05Your eyes gave it away.
08:06Okay, okay.
08:07This guy's too much.
08:08Keep it a hundred means don't beat around the bush.
08:11Just give it to me as it is.
08:13Keep it a hundred.
08:14Next one is receipts.
08:16Receipts.
08:17Dude, I'm feeling old.
08:19That's the point of the segment.
08:21Are you familiar?
08:22Yeah.
08:23I have no idea.
08:24Receipts.
08:25You can't be on the Forbes 30 under 30.
08:26Is it like your exes or something?
08:28Hmm.
08:29Okay, no, no.
08:30Wrong again.
08:31Receipts is like screenshots.
08:33I have the receipts with me.
08:34You can say it like that.
08:35Okay, fair.
08:36Yeah, you're doing terrible.
08:37That's fine.
08:38We're going to do the last one and I hope you get this.
08:40Sending me.
08:41Sending you.
08:43This is sending me.
08:44Dude, I have no idea.
08:46You called me dude.
08:48Country of origin.
08:52I don't know.
08:53I don't know.
08:54I'm like on the spelling bee kids, dude.
08:56Just need my glasses right here.
08:58Okay, I have no...
08:59Sending me.
09:00This meme is sending me.
09:01That's context for you.
09:02Like I'm vibing with it.
09:04Sure, okay.
09:05It's so funny, dude.
09:06It's sending me.
09:07This meme is sending me.
09:08Okay, okay.
09:09Wow, this is a first.
09:10You got everything wrong.
09:11A brute sauce first, ladies and gentlemen.
09:13Alright, next we are going to do a rapid fire.
09:17Okay.
09:18Are you familiar with how that works?
09:19I think so.
09:20So, who was the best guest you had on your podcast?
09:22Priyanka Chopra.
09:23Oh, that was ready to go.
09:25Okay.
09:26Dead or alive, one celebrity you'd want to have dinner with?
09:30I would want to have dinner with
09:33Virat Kohli.
09:34Your favorite content creator?
09:35My favorite content creator is
09:42Are you okay?
09:43I don't know.
09:44You want to get some...
09:46Man, Joe Rogan.
09:48If you count him as a content creator.
09:49Sure, okay.
09:50But let's also...
09:51In the Indian scene.
09:52In the Indian scene?
09:53Tanmay?
09:54Yeah?
09:55Okay.
09:56What are you dressing as for Halloween?
09:57What?
09:58I'm dressing as Spiderman.
09:59I don't know why.
10:00It's always been like a...
10:01Like a proper unitard.
10:02Skin tight.
10:03Yeah.
10:04I'm one of those dudes who gives up on his love life for the sake of saving the world.
10:10Who inspires you?
10:11Who inspires me?
10:12You inspire me, baby.
10:17Kohli, definitely.
10:18Virat Kohli always do.
10:20What's your biggest pet peeve?
10:21Yeah, you know people just trying to
10:24one up, not necessarily another person,
10:26just generally the room.
10:28My experience is like, I don't know.
10:31It's like, everyone knows what you're doing, bro.
10:34Recently, you had put out a tweet.
10:37Okay, I don't remember if it was verbatim,
10:38but it was along the lines of
10:40Hey, internet.
10:41It's sort of becoming the mainstream
10:42for everybody to make fun of the
10:44beer biceps brand.
10:45Yes?
10:46Could you tell us a little bit about that?
10:47Like what in
10:48what made you put that tweet out?
10:50I think I really liked being the hippie
10:52underrated YouTuber where everyone was like,
10:54but have you seen his stuff?
10:56Like it's great.
10:57Yeah.
10:58And I've realized that if your content
10:59is reaching people, it's not meant for
11:01you will have a barrage of like
11:03criticism and all that.
11:04Why do you feel like maybe sometimes
11:06you're misunderstood?
11:07Because I hear a lot of like the
11:08Oh, he hustles too much
11:09or it's too much of that.
11:11I'll tell you why.
11:13Because I am in this industry
11:15to make videos
11:16and I really enjoy making videos,
11:18but I'll also make videos
11:19according to social media algorithms.
11:21If I feel like a topic
11:23or a video is taking off
11:24because of the algorithm,
11:25I'll focus on that content.
11:27When Reels had just started,
11:28they were pushing out motivational content
11:29and I was not even in a
11:30motivational content zone,
11:32but I figured, Oh,
11:33it's going out to like
11:345 million people.
11:35Sure.
11:36So I just threw in like
11:37a hundred motivational videos
11:39and that became my image
11:40in the public.
11:41I...
11:44No, dude.
11:45I have heartbreaks.
11:47I don't like my life sometimes.
11:49Whoa.
11:50Okay, we're getting somewhere
11:51here today.
11:52Let's focus on that.
11:55So, yeah, I'm not that
11:57toxically motivated guy.
11:59I am
12:01just a dude
12:02in a house with some macrame's
12:03and some...
12:05Yo, that's the perfect place.
12:07We have to end the interview there.
12:08Yes.
12:09I love me.
12:10Will you walk me out?
12:12Do I have to?
12:13Please.
12:14No, I mean,
12:15we can just be here
12:16and you can chill with me all day.
12:17Sure, I'll walk by myself.
12:20Hey, don't leave me.
12:21Don't leave me.
12:22Don't leave me.
12:24I love Kerala, bro.
12:25Do you?
12:26Do you?
12:27I love everything about Kerala.
12:28Stop talking to me, man.
12:30It's the first time I'm hearing
12:31this.
12:36That's it.
12:37Let's be a biceps ex-brute.
