(scatting)
- Hi we're Joel and Lia
- And today's video is answering your assumptions
about us.
- So we've seen a few of these going around
on the internet, lots of the kids are doing these tags.
So we thought we'd join in.
- Lots of kids.
- Lots of kids join in.
- So, you know, all the kids online
they're doing the assumptions tag.
So what their audience assumes about them,
basically like rumors.
What rumors are going around about Joel and Lia
- Okay
- We put it on Instagram,
- Yeah
- And we've got them all back, so.
- Oh plenty of rumors about us darling.
- Plenty of rumors going around the internet.
- Oh yeah like what?
- So well let's start with the first one, carrots.
Someone has abused that form feature and put carrots.
So someone says I thought you two were closer
to the same height.
- Oh no!
I'm like either five foot two or five foot three.
Maximum!
- And I'm five eleven.
- So we're nowhere near the same height
- Obviously, sat down, we look a similar height but,
- Just kind of lift my spine like that.
- You're probably up to like my shoulder maybe?
- Not even, I might.
Oh yeah, yeah when we stand up.
I come up to about there.
- Yeah cause then I squat down if we stood up
filming or photos, I have to squat down so,
we're not the same height at all.
- Sorry about that.
- Um some loads, okay, we're just gonna pick one of them.
Loads them are like you're secretly dating.
Alright, I assume you two are secret lovers.
- I promise we're not.
- We're not.
- I promise we're not.
- I only laugh because people go yeah I know you say that
but like, there's some that's try to dig
and they're like, are you two a secretly like,
- We just spend a lot of time together.
Um that's just part of the job really guys.
That's it honestly.
- Another assumption, you love dogs
and would love to have one as a pet.
Yes, you'd assume correct.
- That is correct, can't wait for Joel to get a dog.
- But you wouldn't necessarily.
- Probably not until I've got a home.
- Yeah
- And a husband
- Yeah
I have a garden and then the dog just completes it.
- Your husband can pick up the poo.
- Yeah, he can do all of that.
I'm not doing any of that.
- So this person, this one's really cute.
Like, I don't know why this is an assumption.
Uh they've assumed that Lia is always happy and no trouble,
and that Joel is so relax and fun.
- On a good day, we're both a relax and fun,
- Happy and no trouble, I mean she is trouble,
- Oh I'm trouble
- She is trouble, so
- You know everyone would 'ello trouble?
That's me.
- What's happen today, I don't know,
we were filming in Harrods today and
Lia had to like tell herself like don't break anything,
don't break anything.
Cause she's trouble.
- Absolute, just, car crash.
You are financially responsible.
What does that mean?
- They've assumed we're financially responsible.
- For what?
- For our own money.
What does financially responsible mean?
You're responsible financially.
- Got it.
Sorry, I thought they were saying like responsible
for financially responsible for...
- No - I was like for what?
- They assume we're good with our money,
and I think we are okay.
It's hard living in London and being a young person.
Like you just tend to, like, eat out a lot.
- Money just goes on food.
Like Joel said once that his bank statements said menu.
- Yeah, it's literally just a menu.
- It's just a menu and lately it's a menu of the same stuff.
- Nando's, Nando's, Nando's...
Four times a week, Nando's
- But we both put stuff away in savings,
we're not frivolous , like we will treat ourselves to things
but yeah on the whole, well I speak for myself
I think I'm very financially responsible,
and I think you...
- I am aspiring to be more financially responsible.
- I think we all need to work a bit harder,
you know investigating how we can be better with money.
- That's something we're looking to do
with skill share as well, like do some more classes
on like, how to save money like,
because basically if you're salary is not the same
every month, like ours is always varying,
um rather than saying to yourself
okay I know that two-hundred pounds every month
goes into this pot of savings
four-hundred goes there.
Where as like with us, we need to like,
calculate like, a percentage of my earnings
every month goes towards something and so on.
So we just need to like, educate ourselves more.
Someone's assumed we love America.
Of course we do.
- Yeah
- Bloody love the place.
- Hopefully our next trip will be in March.
- Yeah
- Wow, fingers crossed.
- Fingers crossed, you'll know more about that later on.
- When we know more I guess,
cause we know nothing about it right now.
It's all in the air guys.
- It is, but hopefully it'll be sorted soon.
Our whole life's in the air.
Money, Plans.
Life is in the air.
- Everything is in the air
- I know.
- Oh my gosh, no one else...
I was about to say no one else's life is in the air.
Everyone, a lots of people's lives are in the air.
I'm so selfish.
- So selfish darling.
- I get so selfish all the time like
I think we're the only people in this boat,
when obviously not, darling honestly.
- Well um, this guy assumes we're both well educated.
I'd say so, yeah
- Good education, very very lucky to have had
a fantastic education.
- Thank you mom and dad.
- Thank you
- Oh someone said Joel comes from a wealthy family.
Um yeah, I guess so, not,
I mean my parents probably watching now like
whah we're not wealthy.
Um they're comfortable.
- I think you know, I think we've been very privileged
to have what we've had.
- Someone else said that as well
when I came up here, they assumed we both
come from privileged backgrounds.
That person just said and someone else said
Joel is a spoiled rich kid.
I wasn't, I don't know where this is coming from.
There was some about both of us
and some about me in particular like that.
No like, I was definitely not spoiled, well.
- You worked on a farm, you're not spoiled.
You've just have had a privileged upbringing.
I don't think that that's a bad thing, it's just
so lucky that we've had, you know,
a really supportive like, families on both sides and
just help in every way possible.
Yeah, he's a good boy.
- Yeah, I'm a good boy
- He's been a good boy his whole life
- Yeah, someone assumes we're both born and raised
in London.
Incorrect
- Incorrect.
- I'm not gonna say where I was born
because it's like the only secret I have on the internet.
I feel like.
- Fine, not saying either.
- Cause famous birthdays has me down
as being born in London and I'm like
I'm not correcting them because I don't want,
I don't know why, I feel as like cause most of my life
is on the internet, it's like one pathetic thing
that I've got left for myself.
- You keep it there hun.
You don't, don't tell them.
- Yeah I'm not telling anyone.
Where were you born and raised?
If you don't know then you're not my friend.
Yeah
- I know
- I think a couple of you guys know,
cause I think I have mentioned it once.
- Another assumption is that we are married
and have two kids.
- Yes that is, we've been lying the whole time,
even earlier in this video.
- We don't like to put the kids on camera , we just like,
- This is actually a wedding ring
which we've just moved to the right hand,
just for filming, and it will go back on her left hand.
- As soon as we're done
- This is our apartment as well, the new apartment.
We just got married our parents bought us this flat,
cause we're spoiled rich kids, um yeah
- Yes my wedding ring, my engagement, wedding ring
it's my wedding band.
- And the kids they're just in bed.
- No they're just doing the food shop.
They're carrying it back in the rain.
- They're at Sanes Breeze guys so um, they're fine.
- Yeah they're allowed out.
- What would we call our kids, if we had kids?
- Um Burty and Tilly
- Yes, well done.
- My assumption is that you two
are having the time of your life.
- Oh correct.
- Correct
- No but we don't want to give the false impression
that we're always happy and we're permanently
living the life, like of course we have down days
and like you guys only see like an edited ten minute video
a few times a week.
- Yeah this is like, buzzing off our like
off our tits, buzzing.
Like, this morning I just felt like crap,
I texted Joel saying like,
can't get out of the house this morning,
um I'm just gonna stay in and do emails from bed,
couldn't leave, so yeah.
There you go.
I don't, I didn't put that one the internet.
- Um someone said Joel is an introvert, Lia's an extrovert.
I'd say correct-ish.
On the whole, I'd say I'm an introvert.
- You're getting more extra.
- I'm getting more extra as I get older.
- And I'm getting even more extra
I was already extra.
- She's getting unbearable.
- Unbearably extra.
- You as and old lady, you're gonna be hilarious.
- I'm gonna be so embarrassing.
Can't wait, I love embarrassing you, so funny
- Hilarious
- In public.
He's cringes, he's like this, he's like stop complaining.
- Every time you go to Nando's like there's something wrong,
there's not enough tomatoes on that salad,
or the salad is wilted and it's like not good enough,
or there's not enough chicken.
- Joel I'm like, this salad is off like.
I literally go, these leaves are dead,
like there's nothing, this is not edible for me.
- But it was the same leaves that I had in my salad
and I was like, mmm
- Game over for me.
- Not enough chicken last time.
- If you're paying seven pounds, you get your moneys worth.
- I was like Lia, you do realize this is Nando's?
- Yeah but still, I think if anyone from Nando's head office
was there they'd be like, yeah take it back.
- Oh wow.
Well done.
- So quality standards guys.
- So extra, it's great.
- So extra.
- Um I don't know if you want to talk about this,
someone said Lia went through a hard break up this year.
- Yeah, that was tough, that was tough.
That was true but, you know,
come out happier on the other side guys.
- Literally, I've never seen her happier.
- So thank you very much.
In the words of Arianna Grande 'Thank You Next'.
- It's so true, well done.
She's come back on top.
- Back on top.
You got my love on top in a minute (sing songy)
- Someone said they assume Joel is good looking
and he knows it.
- Oh yeah.
- I like,
- You know it.
- The thing is if someone was like, you're ugly
I'd be like, no I'm not.
Like I'm not, I don't lack that confidence,
but you know how insecure I'm getting when I'm like,
oh I feel so ugly, I look so ugly.
I compare myself to everyone else.
- It's never about your face though.
- No.
No, but I wouldn't say I'm really good looking
but equally I'm not one of those people who'd be like
Oh I'm so hideous, I'm like
- Yeah I kind of agree like you're just,
I don't look at myself in the mirror and go,
she is dropped dead gorgeous, I just go,
I'm not, I've seen worse.
- Yeah I'm pleased with what I've got.
- Yeah I just go, people have woken up to so much worse.
But I definitely don't have the attitude do I of like,
I'm good looking and I know it.
- No
- I don't walk through life like.
- No you don't, you really don't.
- Even If I do potentially think it inside,
it's not real.
No.
- He don't walk around like that, he's humble boy.
- I'm humble boy.
We speak to each other in the weirdest way.
- So weird
- Anymore assumptions?
that Joel is an only child and that Lia has older siblings.
- Correct, incorrect.
- But not that correct you only have one older sibling.
- Oh yeah, just got my brother John.
Incorrect, incorrect.
- Uh I've got two older brothers so, incorrect.
Why do I come off like, I'm a spoiled rich kid
I'm good looking and I know it, and I'm an only child?
- Yeah, you're not coming off well are you?
- It's so unfair, I try so hard to be nice in YouTube videos
- I'm probably one of the only people in this world
that really like you.
I'm kidding.
Honestly one-hundred and eighty-thousand people like you.
But I like you more than them.
- I assume that you two are probably
the funniest people on the planet.
[Both] Correct!
- Next!
It's a weird mix, this channel is us as real people
but at the same time like we said this heavily edited,
we switch on the camera, we're in performance mode like,
so don't think you know me, cause you don't.
- No, you don't.
- Maybe just a little bit.
- Okay maybe a little bit.
Five years we've been in this game.
I mean it's hard to be someone else isn't it?
- It is but everyone who works in front of a camera
like puts an element on of like performing.
Like Holly Willoughby and Phillip Scholfield
they have to.
- They put it on, switch on.
Though she had a fantastic outfit on the other day.
- Oh and I misled she's doing so well.
- She's smashing it.
- You both hate tea.
I, no I don't hate tea.
You'd love tea.
- Actually I'm dying for a cup of tea right now.
- That's a terrible assumption, take that back.
- Immediately
- Someone said a horrible assumption,
I've assumed you guys are not really
into the idea of liking Latin people.
Where's that come from?
- That's really, that's so out there.
That could not be more wrong.
Like we've not even thought about that.
- Yeah, and I've dated Hispanics, so that's not true.
- There you go, throw that in the boom.
- You guys are secretly in love, what?
- Lia's pregnant?
- To a superfan.
Oh so you've slept with a fan,
and you're pregnant with them?
Is that a rumor that's going around?
I love that, maybe I started it.
- Joel's not worried whether I slept with a fan
and I'm now pregnant.
- I love the thought of like there being a forum
where people like gossiping and maybe I add one in,
be like guys I heard Lia's pregnant with a fans baby
and then they, it just spirals out of control.
- Then that just goes out of control.
- I haven't but I should.
- That's a really good idea guys.
- I assume Joel has a secret Tweed fetish.
- You'd be correct.
- I have just actually ordered a Tweed coat
but I don't currently own anything Tweed.
- I can't wait to see it.
- Okay this is a good one.
So I assume that Lia hates when people tap
or squeeze their tea bag after it's been steep.
- Hundred percent.
When people were like, yeah just give it a squeeze I'm like,
oh my gosh, that's incorrect.
You just stir it round, just, just.
If you're gonna have to use a tea bag, you know
we can't all have loose leaf tea, we're not all privileged
um,
- Not like Lia had to kiss.
- We can't all have loose leaf tea okay.
So you've got to get the tea bag, dip it in
and just like go like that with it.
- Yeah let the water, the gravity, do
- Like just let that take
- Cause apparently when tea taste bitter,
it's cause you've squeezed
and those little particles have come out through the bag.
- Yeah, uhhh, so triggering.
- Should we tell them the news?
- Yeah go on ahead.
- Okay, so it's the last video of November guys,
as you know we upload thrice weekly.
And that is changing for the month of December.
What are we doing Joel?
- So we are doing something called
- [Both] Vloggmers!
- As you said it I went vloggmers.
- You sound over joyed with that.
- We're doing vloggmers.
- So for those of you who don't know what vloggmers is,
it's vlogs over Christmas and it means
one video every day until Christmas eve.
- Until we burn out and die.
- So uh fingers crossed for our mental health guys.
- Everyday, literally twenty-four videos the first
til the twenty-fourth of December.
- Video every single day.
- Don't say we don't ever treat you.
- We're doing it because we want to challenge ourselves.
We want to just like see if we can do it,
we've never done vloggmers before.
So let's give it a go!
- So make sure you're tuning in every day in December
cause we will be posting a video
to be alerted as to when we posted those videos
click the notification bell and subscribe
if you haven't already.
That's the first thing to do.
- That is the first thing and I was thinking
is it possible for us to give them a time
that it's everyday at this certain time?
- Well hopefully, if everything goes as planned,
then yeah.
- Three o'clock every day
- Three PM UK time.
So you'll have to google what that is where you are
but three PM in the UK our videos will be going up everyday
- Yeah three o'clock everyday.
- And there'll be a mixture, they'll be sit down videos,
will be out and about exploring.
- There'll be all sorts of stuff, you'll see some fun,
afternoon tea, Harrods, what's going on in big department
stores in London.
- Ice skating, maybe.
- Maybe
- Um like lots of these things are still like maybe,
but we're trying to show you
what Christmas is like in London, as well as
sticking to just sit down chatting with you guys, so.
- So that's the big news guys.
We hope you can support us on this vloggmers journey.
Hope you're just as excited as we are,
also we've now merchandise that should be listed below
every single video thats integrated into our YouTube videos
so scroll down a bit, it's there.
