hi we're joel and leah and welcome back to our channel those two brits
yeah we're in a different location yeah we're just driving normally we are
sat down on the end of a bed or we're out and about traveling and filming
so yeah joel's just got a small drink on it just a really small drink it's a tiny little refresher
i don't know why it's just every time we do a little travel trip we just make sure joel is
really stocked up isn't this funny because in the uk this is our two liter bottle in america their
two liter bottles are shorter but fatter oh yeah i prefer the american ones i think because this is
very long is it yeah is it more like you can put two hands around a bottle exactly and chug it yeah
okay so what's going on joel like what we we're wanting to talk about a couple of things aren't
we want to talk about the brand the identity chain changing our name on youtube the audience feedback
we've had that we have listened to we're evolving and our channels evolving too and we addressed
this in a live stream recently um but if you remember if you tuned into the live stream it
was really laggy and we were like let's just make a video explaining everything and just a general
chit chat catch up even without we've been on the platform for nine years the strength of the wi-fi
at an airbnb doing a live stream is out of our control did us dirty yesterday it really
did do us dirty so we were just like okay let's just recap what we spoke about yeah in a really
nice video like this one so firstly shall we address the fact that we're no longer called
joel and leah on youtube and why we've evolved the channel to yeah those two brits yes so
we had obviously our uk channel was called those two brits and then our main channel is called
joel and leah yeah and um and the tick tock time and the tick tock channel was called those two
brits because someone stole joel and leah so our brand was just all over the place whereas
now it's really streamlined we're like those two brits on this channel and those two bricks
uk for our uk channel and our tic toc synced as well and it's all just nice and synergistic and
is now those two brits the only one we can't change um twitter's changed the only one we can't
change is facebook yes which we're working on yeah but it's just like joel said it's a streamlined
brand we're still joel and leah but like the bra it feels more like a brand now yeah and we
were never a personality well we are a personality channel but this channel doesn't really deep dive
into our personal lives we've got solo channels where we do a bit more of that so yeah that's
basically the forward-thinking streamline of the channel and obviously there was a little bit of um
well i won't say backlash but it was i think it upset a few people that
we're no longer called joel and leah and we started to introduce our videos saying hi
people just didn't like it so going forward we're now starting our videos like we used to hi we're
joel and leah so our channel is called those two brits are brandings those two brits but verbally
we're still jonathan we're gonna introduce videos saying we're john leah yeah and also if we ever
do sit down videos and stuff we have today repurchased a light up jnl for the background
of our videos because that we used to do that in all our videos flashback to here throwback and
you guys missed it you hated it when we got rid of it so they're coming back before we get into
the chunk of this video a short message from our lovely sponsor in a world surrounded by noise you
guys know just how much we need our own personal space moments of peace and quiet is where we find
our comfort with the soundcore space a40 wireless earbuds you get the ultimate noise cancelling

ours yet and it's been weeks plus they're really lightweight and comfortable in the air click on
the link in our description to find out more and thank you to soundcore by anker for sponsoring
this video in terms of content for the channels you take the main channel i'll take uk channel
okay so uk channel we're reviving that after about a year of not posting and you know the the format
on the channel has been we film a series then have loads of time off then film a series and loads
of time off we're now committing to one video a week on that channel going forward so we're now
picking that up and we can guarantee you content every week and i think one way of like looking at
this is that when we do our own schedule and we do our own we plan our lives and we fit in our joel
and leo filming whether it's for the main channel or the second channel it's just going to take the
same level of priority yeah so we're just going to be like we're meeting up to film because we need
videos for our channels yes regard you know what i mean whereas before we'd be like main channel is
a priority and if we can film uk stuff for the second channel we will yeah so now it's just a
bit of a shift of mindset towards the channels in general yeah so if you're not subscribed on our
those two brits uk channel we'd really appreciate it if you went and subscribed and get ready for
some fun content yeah so we've been doing sort of like a midlands series at the moment yeah we're on
our way now to warwick castle to do afternoon tea video to do afternoon afternoon take you know it
wouldn't be a jolly trip if we didn't do afternoon tea so we're just gonna do a castle tour yeah and
uh yeah we just got a few other things to film as well so as joel said if you could go subscribe on
that channel that would be amazing now to the main channel those two brits aka
we are sort of gonna be moving into a different space where we're gonna be doing some more it's
basically it's a new series idea but we want it to be a big chunk of the channel we're doing
this cooking show where we cook our subscribers recipes and again if you join the live stream from
the airbnb which was really bad quality we're sorry about that the audio was good the audio
quality the audio was stunning the audio was great video not so good and then we told you guys that
we've uh done the sort of pilot episode which you guys are going to see it's like a taster episode
of the cooking show and it's just an exciting time because it's sort of like a new what do you call
it like a new arm yeah a new arm to the child a new yeah just like not new direction yeah because
it's still within the american british theme to begin with anyway we're going to start with us
doing american recipes eventually if it goes well we could do british recipes or recipes from any
culture however our food videos always go down the best on this channel where you know that's
mainly us trying food so we're like why not try cooking some of the food yeah it's going to be fun
it'll be slightly educational if you want to learn to make the recipes but really it's going to be
just entertainment last two idiots in the kitchen i did see one comment that was a bit alarming
i think i know which one you're talking about basically someone was like i really like the
idea but someone's going on youtube to watch cooking show then they want to learn something not
necessarily go and watch it to have a laugh so i disagree with that because that also made me have
that same reaction i know it's constructive so the person that wrote it wasn't being me no not at all
but i did feel a bit like like another obstacle yeah but because it got some like people agreeing
with it thumbs up so i was like okay i mean it's valid and we won't know that until we try it
well i think as well it depends like i think people want to be entertained and it should be
fun to watch two non-cooks trying to cook these recipes yeah and i i think personally i'd watch
that if two youtubers two of my favorite youtubers were gonna cook british recipes and they weren't
british and they were just having fun in the kitchen maybe a little bit tipsy and just like
yeah i think i would watch it but you're right it maybe means we can tailor the content a bit
to be like if you want to cook it here's how you do it but now we're going to try i see what i was
in like if you want to have a go at this this is the recipe we're following and it's one of
our subscribers recipes she's from nashville and she this is her homemade pork recipe yeah
or something like that we hope that like it could potentially like lead to a cookbook filled with
like our subscribers homemade recipes that would be quite wholesome definitely so i don't know
that was the idea but obviously i i do think that that criticism is something we should listen to
until we try no exactly and it will evolve over time it will hopefully get better quality and we
will learn yeah like maybe the first episode is completely like wrong and not the direction we
want to go with it but we'll just tweak it as we go because yeah it just takes too long to wait for
things to be perfect and like nothing's ever going to be perfect the first few times you do it so
yeah yeah we just gotta try i think that um one thing that we need to like get out of the
mind frame of when we're filming is that it all needs to look amazing yeah because like obviously
there's obstacles the cameras are like not old but you know we use this these vlog cameras for
filming and perhaps the background's not great or we're not in the most perfect kitchen blah blah
blah blah blah yeah whereas like as joel said at the beginning it's meant to be fun it's meant to
be entertaining if things go wrong we embrace it we don't go start again so that's something
that we're trying to you know implement into the show yes as an inside goss we've made two recipes
yeah we've made meatloaf for one one episode and we made a banana split for the other episode
meatloaf went really well and it was great we had fun with it but it went really well yeah banana
split went awfully and it's funny and it we didn't do it on purpose but it just went terribly so i
feel like we've got the balance we're not going to try to mess up recipes and we're also not going to
well we are going to try our best but like likely i said we're not going to get rid of something for
like oh it doesn't it doesn't look perfect because the whole purpose isn't to be perfect it's for us
to try making american recipes that we've never made before yeah so basically everything joel just
said i was like sixty percent with joel what are you saying 40 percent on the road i'm just saying
we're not gonna deliberately try to mess things up but like you said i was just you're reiterating
what i'm saying because i reiterated you yeah so we're basically saying it three times okay awesome
okay so that's the news so you guys have heard about the channel change we've listened to your
feedback we are implementing a feedback and we're also starting a new series
to see if um you know we can just shake things up on the channel a little bit because
let's be real we have to evolve this platform is evolving every day
yeah short form content is evolving every day yeah it's a really nice um spa not far from
here called mallory corpse that i go to every year it's like so medieval guys you've got it
you've got to subscribe to our uk channel because this these these videos today are going to be
awesome i mean they were awesome yesterday as well we went to shakespeare's birthplace
um upon avon i've seen signs that say stratford on avon and some that say stratford upon avon
i always say upon i've never seen that on i don't know it was on the bins at the airbnb it
said stratford-on-haven there is parking so we're gonna wrap this video up now guys because it's bit
um waffling now for the 50 of you that are still here thank you well thank you for bearing with us
during this change in hindsight we probably should have explained the name change but
we thought no one would care we're like let's not draw attention to it let's just change it
and i suppose it's good to keep you guys abreast of what i love that word of breath of what we're
doing the content change the second channel everything so now you know yes thanks again
