(glasses clinking)
- Oh, do you know what?
It sounds like a seance is about to begin.
- Bong, yeah.
- Bong.
(laughter)
- Oh I love it.
- Enter.
(laughter)
(robotic scat tune)
- We're here.
Hi, I'm Joel.
- Hi I'm Lia. - She's Lia.
- [Both] Um--
(mocking pronunciation)
- We're YouTubers.
I'm a libra.
- I'm a cancer and let me just read my horoscopes
for January and see what my predictions are for this year.
- So funny.
We're doing another questions thing.
What is it?
Ask yourself.
- Ask yourself, Joel. (mouse clicking)
- I love it.
I love this series.
- We love it when people go
(lips smacking)
yourselves. - Yourselves, yeah.
- So we should call this question
- [Both] Ask yourselves.
(laughter)
- Yeah, ask your--
- It's just ask yourse-- (burping)
- Did a Prosecco burp, I'm so sorry.
- Darling.
- One must never do that when drinking Prosecco.
- No, you literally must never burp during Prosecco.
- I know, only after.
- Only after.
- Right, where did we get to? - Right.
Okay.
- Did we do a teaser?
We didn't, did we?
- No, but that's fine - That's fine.
- 'cause this is gonna start on a high.
So as Joel said, welcome back to the series
where you ask yourselves a question.
This is where we ask ourselves stuff,
discover more about our morals, moral compass.
- Yeah.
- You know, our opinions on things
and it's also where you can sort of
ask yourself the same question and think about your answer.
- Yeah, and we can all chat with each other down below
in the comments and exchange ideas and thoughts and beliefs.
It's just a really cool place. - Just something to do really.
- Yeah it is. - Just something to do.
- Something to do.
- We like to our drinks, just relax a bit
whilst we're doing it.
Right, this one's juicy.
Ready? - Okay, go on.
- Would you rather be, I love a would you rather,
- Yeah.
- extremely successful professionally and have a tolerable
yet unexciting private life,
- Okay.
- or have an extremely happy private life
and only a tolerable and uninspiring professional life?
- I know immediately my answer.
- I know what your answer is.
- You know what my answer is.
I know what your answer is.
- Yeah.
- Mine is to have a very-- - Wait what's mine?
- I think yours is the opposite of mine.
- Same.
- Oh, I want have a tolerable and
unexciting personal life
but a very successful professional life.
Because I think you spend most of your life at work
- Yeah, you do!
- and I feel like just because you're,
it's not saying you have a bad personal life,
it's saying it's tolerable and unexciting and actually
our professional life is very exciting.
- Yeah.
- So I quite like the unexciting parts
of my private life, because we do have our--
- 'Cause we just indulge in the
every day-- - Um hmm.
- I think it's the sort of magic of the ordinary.
Like, yeah, I'm just gonna go home and cook dinner now.
- Yeah.
- Like, we've just been at an amazing thing all day
and we're really lucky and grateful to be around
the people that we get to be around and stuff,
but then we just go and we do something just really ordinary
- Yeah. - or have very--
- And the ordinary then becomes really fun
'cause once we've been to events and in a row
if it's like a premier and then a press launch for something
and then this, they're amazing things that
we're so grateful for, but then you just are like,
I just wanna have a night in that's literally do nothing.
- Get takeaway and do nothing.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, definitely.
- So I thought you were gonna say the other way around.
- I don't know, Joel.
I would love to have an extremely happy private life
but I don't want an uninspiring professional life.
- Yeah, no one does.
- No one does, 'cause I know what you said is true
that you spend a lot of your time at work.
- Yeah.
- So if the majority of your time is spent at work unhappy,
and it's sort of like uninspiring
(lips vibrating)
job, but then your private life,
you end up living for the weekends
- Yeah.
- and living for those happy times when--
I don't know, it's a really hard one but I think
- It is.
- overall I'd prefer a really exciting professional life.
- I think so 'cause I know we don't do these,
yeah but I would then do this,
we don't pick it apart.
(sneezes)
- Please excuse me.
(laughter)
- You haven't sneezed all night
and you do it when we're in a rush.
(laughter)
- [Lia] So sorry darling.
- It's okay.
- [Lia] I have to just,
I had to take a moment.
- At least it wasn't on the live stream.
- [Lia] Do you know what, that's so true.
- Yeah.
I know we weren't gonna pick it apart and say,
yeah but what if I do this. - Yeah.
- But like you would then naturally probably involve--
Your personal life would become your professional life.
- Yeah I get that, I feel that
and one of the books I'm reading, it's like,
don't make your life so compartmentalized.
- Oh yeah. - It's like,
that's your work life, this is your home life,
when it's all just your life, really.
- Yeah. That's a good way to think of it.
- It's like us going on a work trip
but then we've done our work and we extend our holiday
- Yeah.
- And have like a personal life holiday.
- Yeah.
- So we're in L.A. but just like,
alright cool, our work's done, an extra week.
- Yeah yeah.
- It can be fun, can't it?
- It like melds together, yeah.
- Yeah.
That's what you get for sneezing out your live.
- Okay.
- Okay?
Oh, what should I wish?
- Blow, make a wish.
- Um...
I have to be more specific.
- We're in a rush.
(laughter)
So we take forever.
(blows)
- It's not working. - Oh its stuck.
It's stuck, it's not gonna come true.
(blows)
Joel, if it doesn't blow off its not coming true.
(blows)
Oh it's never gonna happen! (laughter)
- Come on!
(blows)
Yes, it's gone. - It's gonna happen.
- Right, it's ready to be hoovered up by the maid.
(laughter)
Not our maid.
- She calls her cleaner "the maid", its so funny.
- But not "the maid", "my maid".
- "My maid's not coming 'til Tuesday."
- She's not your maid, she's probably lots of people's maid.
- Yeah. - I know, let me ask you one.
Right, so, this is a juicy one.
- Mmm.
- If at birth you could select the profession
your child would eventually pursue, would you do so?
- If I had the choice to say that
my child could be a
- Yeah. - a successful
- Yeah.
music artist or a--
(sighs)
Do you know what, morally it's wrong isn't it?
Because you need to let the child grow up,
decide what they're into and then do it.
- Yeah.
- But on the other hand, most people don't really know
what they want out of life anyway.
- Yeah.
- So imagine if you said,
I know decisions are hard,
I struggle with decisions
so you're probably gonna have my genetics
so I've decided you're gonna be the next Adele.
- There you go.
- Congratulations on your number one album!
- Yeah 'cause how could they complain about that?
If you were like,
you're gonna be the most successful sporting person
in the world, you'd be like, or whatever it is--
- You're gonna be an olympian gold medalist.
- Yeah, how could they complain about that?
- You're gonna be amazing at swimming.
They might just be like I hate water.
But we wouldn't know that until they're older, would we?
- No, you would just still
push them in the swimming pool, swim!
- It's like pushy parents, what would you do?
- I don't think I would.
I would like to because I think part of the joy for me
was that I chose my profession of what I wanted to pursue
and it was so different to anyone in my family
had done before and I really love that.
- Yeah.
- But the fear, I guess for all parents, is that
your child will just be uninspired and unambitious
and will just settle for the bare minimum
and I wouldn't want that.
So if my child was gonna be like that,
I would want to choose their profession.
- Yeah.
- But I would hold out for the fact
that my child would be like me
and they'd be a bit ambitious.
- Really? - Um hmm.
- For instance, I personally would never let
my child be a YouTuber.
- Oh, I wouldn't not let them.
If they wanted to I'd let them do it.
I wouldn't say you can not be it.
But I wouldn't be like,
yeah, be a YouTuber--
- Joel, would you struggle if they were
more successful than your platform?
- Absolutely, my child can not be more successful than me.
(laughter)
- So they can't be a YouTuber then?
- But you know how every parent
wants their child to be more successful
than them and they're rooting for them?
I don't think I'd be that parent.
I'd be like, you can not be more successful than me!
Thank you!
- I'd just be a bit like,
can't you just go and be a doctor or something?
- But I would never once be one of those parents though
that bothers about their career.
I love that my parents don't really care what job
I wanted to do, they would just support me
in whatever it was.
- Yeah, same.
I'm literally just the opposite of what my parents--
My parents are like,
"do whatever you want, we believe in you, go and do it!"
And I'm going like, nah.
My kid needs some security.
(laughter)
My kid needs a job and a mortgage one day.
- It probably repeats generations
'cause our grandparents were probably like that
- Yes exactly.
- with our parents which is why our parents
weren't like that and then it just repeats.
It's like on again, off again, on again, off again,
through the generations. - Yeah that's so true.
Right.
Would you be willing to become extremely ugly, physically,
if it meant you would live for 1000 years
- No!
- at any physical age you choose?
- No, no, no. I don't care about living long, do you?
I care about quality of life, not quantity.
Imagine living for a thousand years.
I'd be dead, all your friends would be dead,
your partner would be dead, everyone would be dead.
- Oh, okay yeah.
Everyone would be dead but you may--
- And you've lived.
- You right, but, it says
living for a thousand years at any physical age,
does that mean you stay an age?
- No I think it just means your body.
- Right.
- As in you'll be--
Yeah so you choose an age like,
ah 21 was a good age, and physically like that.
- [Both] I'll be 21 for a thousand years.
- But probably everyone else around you would die.
- That would be horrific.
- I don't want to live for a thousand years.
- I can't think of anything worse.
Would anyone actually go with that?
- Yeah.
- I'd be really intrigued just to know
if anyone would live for a thousand years like that.
- But, see you have the body of whatever age you want,
but you'll be extremely ugly physically.
No!
Who would want to live for a thousand years
- [Both] Extremely ugly?
(chuckling)
- I'm sorry, that's not shallow.
That's just common sense.
- That's unfortunate, isn't it?
- Oh this is interesting,
it's gonna take a bit of thinking.
- Alright. - Yeah, alright.
- Mm, I'll try.
- If you can wake up tomorrow having gained
any one ability or quality, what would it be?
- Oof.
- That's too broad a question.
- [Both] Any ability or quality.
- Okay quality,
I would love to be more patient.
I'd like to just be the most patient person.
- You're really patient. - No, I'm not.
- You pretend to be really well.
- Yeah probably pretend to be.
I'm so impatient and so intolerant of
idiots
and I wish I could be the most zen,
patient person on the planet. - Okay.
- But ability, I don't know what I would want.
- I wish I had the ability to give
no beeps about what anybody thinks
- Mm.
and just continue to live my life
but with a who cares what anyone else thinks attitude.
- Yeah. - And then ability--
- So can it be like super powers and stuff?
- Ah, maybe.
I'd love to just stop time and catch up
on all the box sets that I need to watch.
- Oh yeah, to have Bernard's Watch.
- Bernard's Watch, Bernard's Watch.
I think that's better than invisibility or flying.
To be able to fly or something.
- Yeah.
- Bernard's Watch is amazing 'cause
you stop time, get stuff done.
- Yeah.
I do like that but do you know what--
- And you could travel, time travel.
Time travel!
- Yeah but think how much time you might waste if you--
- Right!
not time travel, but if you could stop time.
I'd like to be invisible so that no one would bother me.
(laughter)
- That's amazing, yeah, just go invisible.
- But if I was super patient then I wouldn't
need to be invisible because people wouldn't bother with me.
- No, you'd just be like tolerable of them.
- Yeah.
Or I'd like the ability to turn water into Prosecco.
- Yeah that's amazing. - Yeah.
- Cheers for that, hunn. - Cheers to that.
(mouse clicking) (glasses clinking)
- Right, should we do a teaser for next week?
- Yeah!
- What's coming, okay.
Love this game so much!
Come back next week to find out
if we would rather be around men or women.
(laughter)
Do your closest friends tend to be men or women?
- Oh, come back next week and we'll reveal all.
Let us know your thoughts on these questions that we've had
down below, we'd be really intrigued.
We were just discussing off camera actually
how much we can't wait to read all the comments
and what you guys think of these questions.
- 'Cause I genuinely think people
start to get engaged with these videos.
- Yeah.
- So, really looking forward to that.
- Yeah.
- If you're new here, we're Joel and Lia.
- Hello.
- We post videos thrice weekly.
Hello!
- [Both] Hello.
(mocking pronunciation)
- We do this.
(laughter)
- So subscribe, and post videos thrice weekly,
which means
- [Both] Three times a week.
- On Tuesday's,
- [Both] Thursday's, Sunday's.
- 3pm UK time usually.
(chuckling)
- We'll see you soon, bye.
- Bye darling, going to bed darling.
- Going to bed darling.
(glasses clinking)
From now.
