I think I'd like to talk to my self in the future
Yes, that's something that I'll do
Oh I heard about this
I've heard of this
Like, I was a drama kid, you can totally tell
Hi Jeramiah
Hello Jeremiah
I'm 12 years old, how old are you?
32
He actually looks a lot still like himself
This is like, the ultimate form of forever alone
He's literally talking to himself
Is there anything in particular you wanted to know about?
I don't know is Molly still alive?
No... Dogs don't live that long
*laughs* (Oh...)
Why dont I ask you some questions?
You wanna ask me quest- You know about, you already know!
I can't get over this, this is like, the smartest idea
That's awesome that he did this
This is so cool
He's totally watched this before that, he didn't, like, know what to say when
I wanna know about my own future that's cool
Well I'm glad that pleases you, okay so look-
Ooh I see a star wars figure down there
Never mind that for now, what were you- Can I have it?
Dude you have that one already it's literally the same one
Here it is, I got it right here
Yeah except Molly chewed mine so... Be more careful
Sorry...
Don't apologise to me, apologise to yourself in 20 years
I'm sorry Jeremiah, see I just did it for us
Very clever Jeremiah
I like how he's getting pissed at his younger self, that shit's funny
What were you doing before you made this video?
Here we go
Is that Roy?
Yes... Do you still draw Roy?
No... (Aw)
I don't draw much anymore
I wanted to be an animator
But I got lazy and went into film making
Don't you realize that you're kinda, you're kinda messing up time
Sorry I'm just thinking out loud (*laughing*)
By the way, do you still like Doctor Who?
Doctor Who?
My license plate... Thing says...
Um, "my other car is a tardis"
What the hell is his problem?
That was so cool
That was such a good video
That was sad...
Wait, I can't tell if that was depressing or if that was like, really uplifting
So can you explain what that video was?
It's like, this guy has... He took videos of himself when he was little
If that was him, who knows
Pretendingly he was having a conversation with himself 20 years later
That's so cool, like, 12 years old, who would've thought
That was just like amazing, like incredible
My mind's like blown right now
And how did it make you feel?
Very... Good
I feel proud of him
It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside
Pathetic... What am I gonna be like in 20 years?
Gotta get my life together man!
Do you think that this is real? That was really him at 12?
I think it was
Yes I do
I think it's real
No
Probably not
Why not?
You can do a lot with editing these days
Why do you think it's real?
Well, it looked like him
Because if it's not real my dreams are shattered
It's really him at 12
No
Okay, good
Does the guy seem happy with the way that his life turned out?
No
He seems depressed
I think for the sake of the video and for comedy purposes he was... Upset about it?
But really he was just trying to be funny, which he was!
Does he have regrets?
He got lazy
He stopped doing all the stuff he did like he used to draw, he used to do all this stuff
Is there something when you were an even, uh, younger kid that you really thought you wanted to be?
I really wanted to be a spy!
I used to be really into drawing
I wanted to be a singer
I thought I wanted to be a racecar driver
I really wanted to be a doctor
Yeah I wanted to be an architect
I wanted to be an architect, then I found out I was bad at math
Basically all of my childhood I was a competitive gymnist
So I actually always wanted to be in the Olympics, but then I got lazy
Like, I wanted to be like a horseback rider and I wanted to be like a pilot and the president
Now I'm just like, okay my life's gonna be... Just like everyone else's life now
Things turn out not how you expect them to
What kind of thoughts did it give you watching someone talking to themself in the past like this?
You gotta live in the moment
Well my first thought went to forever alone, so obviously I'm addicted to the internet, which can't end well
How would your younger self react to how you are now?
Do you think that your future self... would be proud of you, looking back on who you are as a person right now?
I think so
No, 'cause like who I am at 18, like that's just who I am whether it's good or bad
And whether my 38-year-old self likes it or not, that's a different person
If I look back on myself now, you know, no matter how many mistakes I make currently it will still be...
What makes me who I am 20 years from now
And I shouldn't regret that
If you could ask your self in the future a question, what would you ask yourself?
Does it turn out well?
Am I okay, am I doing- Am I on the right path?
Who am I gonna marry, so I don't have to waste my time
What is my profession?
That's what I wanna know, I wanna know what I'm gonna be when I'm older
How old will you be in 20 years?
How old am I? I'll be 34
35!
37?
37! Oh my god, that's so old
What do you think your job will be in 20 years?
If I even have a job...
Something involving traveling
A game designer
I don't know really what I wanna do yet
I'll probably end up teaching
I'll be sitting at a desk, with a computer, but it won't be this exciting
There will be no camera, I'll be in a cubicle, and I'll just be like tooteedooteedoo
I think I'mma be a retired billionaire
With bitches... Traveling the world to my many houses
Living the good life
So you're talking to your future self and he tells you that your dreams failed, what would you say to your older self?
Why didn't you try harder?!
Try try try! Don't give up!
You really f*cked up
Wha- it's his fault? Isn't it your fault?
But I'm not there yet
But you're gonna- You're the reason it became that way
Yeah, but I- I, me, right now, 16 years old, could change that though
He didn't do that
He did the wrong thing, and I can make it better
It wouldn't happen, 'cause that's what's gonna happen, like that's gonna be my life in 20 years
But what would you say to yourself-
It's not- It's like not even gonna ha- It's not even up for discussion, it's not gonna happen
Well are you afraid of getting older and not accomplishing your goals?
I am
Yeah I have a bucketlist
One of my greatest fears is failure
Sometimes things just don't go the way you planned and, so...
I don't know
I don't know, I don't care, whatever
I don't know, I can't really see myself now like...
Just like "oh it was just too hard, with jobs, ehh"
I can't just see myself like, failing
I sit up at night, in the shower, just like, crying to myself, wondering if I'm ever gonna accomplish anything
What do you think your future self would tell you to stop doing right now?
To probably get out a little bit more, I don't get out as much as I would like to
Playing Diablo too much
Jade, get up and like, do something instead of being on the computer all day
I try, older self, I try, but the internet has so much to offer!
Focus on your studies, don't let girls distract you
Don't listen to too much K-pop
And would you listen to anything you-
No
Screw him, he's old
He doesn't get me, he's not a free spirit
And what do you think of this guy Jeremiah for pulling off something like this?
That is awesome
I think he's a genious
I think it's like so impressive
I think he was a really creative guy
Like, what kind of 12-year-old thinks about that?
I really admire him
This one is like the number one video I've seen from you guys
And finally, look into the camera, this is your chance to say one final thing to your self in the future
Hey future me! Don't mess up...
Be good
I hope you aren't a failure!
Well, if you're a waiter, then f*ck you
Have you done everything that you wanted to do?
Get on top of that!
I don't wanna have any kids, don't have any kids, okay?
Just don't even think about it, okay? Never, never get married!
Don't get married, okay?
It will ruin you forever
No matter how bad your life is right now
Just always remember, there's always gonna be someone better than you and always gonna be someone worse than you
So you're perfect the way you are
