- Hey guys, so I just got back from a trip to Vegas,
and as you can tell by my eye bags,
I am extremely jet lagged.
So these guys, Pot Noodle, invited me out to Vegas
as part of their You Can Make It campaign.
They ran a competition where you had to invent
a time saving product,
and Pot Noodle would bring it to life and create it.
It was voted for, and the amazing Bianca,
who you will meet later in this video, won
with her idea of the Kettle Cup.
And so we all went out to Vegas
to launch the Kettle Cup at CES,
which is the Consumer Electronics Show,
which is insane.
If you like this video, please give it a thumbs up.
And let me know in the comments
what time saving thing you would really like in your life.
I personally would go for teleportation,
although I don't think that that is gonna happen
any time soon.
Then I wouldn't have to suffer from jet lag.
So yeah, thanks Pot Noodle, for bringing me on this trip.
And this is what happened in Vegas.
(bright hip hop music)
Hey guys, so I'm in Las Vegas.
What?
(lively jazz music)
We're staying in the Flamingo Hotel,
and apparently it has the natural wildlife resort in it
with real flamingos.
I don't think I've ever seen a flamingo in real life,
so I'm very excited about that.
I stink, and I'm meeting the others downstairs
in the casino in about two hours,
so I've got some time to relax and clean myself.
I managed to get ready to go out without falling asleep.
I am so jet lagged.
I am so close to passing out,
but I made it on my own.
Yeah, I'm gonna go meet the others for dinner now.
I have no idea where we're going.
All I know is that I'm tired and hungry.
Not a great combo.
(smooth hip hop music)
It is about 10:30 and I'm crashing.
We had a couple drinks,
and we went to this steak house,
and we had the most glorious steak.
It was absolutely delicious.
But we were all
passing out at the table.
Good morning.
I slept pretty well, so hopefully that means
I have kicked that jet lag,
and now I'm off downstairs
to meet the others for breakfast.
I'm already late,
so let's get going.
Look, there's flamingos, ahhh!
Oh look, that one's standing on one leg.
It's standing on one leg.
It's scratching itself.
Oh, look.
Ah, oh, nope.
- [Bianca] That one's standing on one leg!
- This is Bianca.
- Hi.
- She's never been to America before.
- What?
- This is her first time here.
- Yay! (laughs)
- So we're going to Denny's.
- Yeah we are, we're gonna eat food.
- It's gonna be great.
(both laugh)
Bianca matches the flamingos. (laughs)
We just had a craps lesson,
but I can't film in the casino, so that was sad.
But craps is a really cool game, but we lost, obviously.
But then we played blackjack and we won.
We're on our way to a pub crawl!
- Wheee!
- We have to be up at about six
to go to the Grand Canyon tomorrow morning.
Are you ready?
- Whew, I am ready!
(both laugh)
- So, well we'll see who survives tonight and how,
but yeah, I'm not sure how much I'll film,
but you'll definitely get some sorry faces tomorrow morning.
Oh dear.
♫ This kiss, this kiss ♫
(cheering)
♫ Don't believe me, just watch
♫ Come on ♫
(cheering)
(lively Latin music)
- We made it to one in the morning,
but we have the Grand Canyon to do tomorrow.
How are you guys feeling?
- Oh, superb!
- I'm really tempted to play some more blackjack,
but I know that I should hold off.
- Blackjack!
- Hiya!
Not too sure what to say.
- This is Andy.
- I am.
- He's like the logistically man.
- Apparently I'm dad.
- Yeah, he's sort of,
he knocked on my hotel room door last night to be like,
"OK, so we're meeting here at nine tomorrow morning."
- That's me, the papa of the group.
- Good morning.
It's 6:30 am, and we're going to the Grand Canyon.
- [Voiceover] And one more thing that was kind of different
is that if you did die,
you really wanted to die over here in Arizona
because your family got better benefits in Arizona
than if you were to die in Nevada.
So if you felt like you were about to keel over,
you'd hope your best buddy'd
start dragging you into Arizona.
(bright country music)
- Andy, you're by the eagle.
Behind you, there,
with its wings.
- [Bianca] Oh my goodness, I see.
- Yeah?
Dip there.
And then it's like its wings are going out.
Can you see it?
So you got the top there, the top there, come down.
- [Andy] Yeah, yeah, yeah, this bit here.
- [Hannah] Yeah.
- [Andy] I can't see an eagle.
- God, this is crazy.
And we're on the West Rim.
The last time I was here, it was the South Rim.
And I can't even believe that I'm saying that,
that I've been here twice
in the space of like eight months or something.
That's mental to me.
Got back from the Grand Canyon and had a bath.
I never have baths.
The place where I live doesn't even have a bath,
but this hotel room does.
Just got myself ready,
and I'm heading downstairs.
Might play a bit more blackjack
before we head out to dinner.
I think I've become addicted to blackjack.
I've literally been having like blackjack dreams.
(cheers)
He's so big.
Oh my God, there's the little one.
Hi, hi, how are you? (laughs)
Good morning.
The Grand Canyon early start yesterday meant that
we all just passed out pretty early after dinner.
But feeling good today.
So we're at the Las Vegas sign because
the guys need to take some promo pictures
for the Pot Noodle thing.
But there it is.
There you go, you can see the sign.
And this massive queue of people.
So we all just have to stand in the cold and wait.
She's a natural.
Oh yeah.
Work it.
Who's getting in?
Who wants to fight me?
Oh, you'd pick me up.
You are so much. (laughing)
- I assume you want to weight lift.
- [Hannah] Oh, are there different flavors?
Chicken mushroom.
I'm hungry.
I've not had lunch yet.
Yes.
(bell rings)
- OK, I'm going.
I'm gonna break your wrist.
- No, don't break my wrist.
- I'm not actually really strong. (laughs)
I think it's happening.
- No, I think you're just a bit stronger than you like.
- I think I don't.
(unintelligible sped up talking)
- I'm strong, like I'm hurting.
- I know, I can tell.
I feel really bad for you, by the way.
(both laugh)
You can make it.
- You can make, I make it.
- You can make it.
(unintelligible sped up cross talk)
Oh, that was true.
♫ You know that I'm a winner, winner
♫ Yeah, I'm headed to the top
♫ Put your hands up, yeah put your hands up ♫
(both laughing)
- The whole reason that we're actually in Vegas
is because of Bianca and her invention.
- The Kettle Cup.
- This is the Kettle Cup.
And it's basically a portable
kettle in a cup form.
- [Hannah] A wireless kettle.
- Yes, it is.
And all you have to do is flick a switch.
You'll have boiling water in four minutes,
which is amazing.
- Oh my God!
How did you come up with it, I think,
that's the main question, isn't it?
- Well basically, I heard about the Kettle Cup competition.
Or it wasn't actually the Kettle Cup.
- But it is now, it is now.
- You can make your own competition, yeah.
I heard about that when I was driving up to uni one day,
and they just kind of briefly mentioned it on the radio
about oh, you just tweet in an idea.
And I was like that's not like,
that can't be the competition,
to just tweet in an idea.
So I was like, I'm gonna take this seriously.
I'm gonna sit down, write a list, and I did.
I came up with like a whole bunch of stuff.
I came up with this whole list of different ideas.
And none of them went very well,
and so I was like, oh forget about it.
But that night I went out,
and I may have stayed out a bit later than I should have.
- That's when the best ideas happen.
- Yeah, and yeah actually, clearly. (laughs)
But, and then I went to uni the next day,
and I'd had one hour sleep,
and I was exhausted.
It was a nine hour day.
And yeah, I forgot to pack a lunch,
I hadn't had coffee in the morning
'cause I was in such a rush.
So I was on campus,
and I was like, I kept going and buying coffee.
And I was in queues, and it was just taking forever.
- The worst.
- So I was missing some of my lectures, yeah.
And then I, that's when the idea of the Kettle Cup was born.
- [Hannah] Oh, it's making some noise.
Don't you find that noise so satisfying?
- [Bianca] Yeah.
- This is Valdez, another inventor.
- [Valdez] That's the Noodle Up,
and eating noodle soup will never be the same.
- (laughs)
Mmm.
Vegas is exhausting, but it's so much fun.
Make sure I don't play blackjack
once I get back to London.
This has to be a Vegas only thing.
♫ Oh
♫ Living on a prayer
♫ Take my hand, we'll make it I swear
♫ Oh
♫ Living on a prayer ♫
- Right, we're on our way to CES.
(cheering)
We've arrived at the convention.
Oh my God.
And this is only a tiny section of it.
This is insane.
(upbeat music)
Yes well, tell Jeremy that that just won't do.
I'm very busy and important.
I'm sorry.
(laughs)
Hello, it's our last night in Vegas.
How do you feel about that, Andy?
- Oh, it's just flown by, hasn't it?
- Yeah, it's flown by.
These guys are going back to England tomorrow.
I'm going to LA, so. (laughs)
(moaning and groaning)
OK.
Today I leave Vegas.
And as you can tell,
our last night was a big one.
(breathes deep)
Let's pack.
