What is your favorite makeup brand?
This is obviously made for girls.
[Laughs] Yeah
Hello everybody. We are brothers.
Are we? We are.
One of the most common questions we get
is if we are actually brothers.
To clarify that and to give you guys more
info about us,
we are going to do the #brother tag. That's right.
If you're just tuning in, my name is Alex.
I'm Marko. And we are the Vagabrothers.
And this is the Vagabrother's #brothertag.
Without further ado....
Question 1: who is the oldest?
I am 30 years old.
I am 28 years old, which makes Marko
the oldest.
My birthday is April 2, 1986
the day after April Fool's Day.
My birthday is March 15, 1988
the day Julius Caesar was assassinated.
I think my age really fluctuates with my beard
depending on how much beard I have.
If I shave everything off, I look like
really ,really young.
If I have a beard, I look 40.
What was the last text you sent each other?
Let's just pull it up real quick. What is it?
It was last night, and I said I was editing
a 360 video that we shot {coming out soon.},
A horror video. Shhhhh
And I said, "Yo. Come look."
Alex and I are at the point where
we're so lazy; we hang out all the time
that we actually text each other from being.....
we were only twenty feet away.
What do you like and hate about your siblings?
This can be a really explosive topic.
Let's not get too far down in the weeds.
What do you like? Why don't you start
with what you like about me?
I love that my brother
is so determined.
I'm the sort of person who comes up with
a bunch of different ideas, and my brother
is someone who helps take an idea and execute it.
He won't stop working on it until it's totally done.
I like your curiosity.
Mark is an immensely curious person.
And I like that about you because you're
always asking questions, and you're always
on this hunt for knowledge,
which turns up cool things, which we
usually end up putting into our vlogs.
I really like that about you.
What about hate? What do you hate about me?
I think we both hate the same thing about each other,
which is that we're both so stubborn,
stubborn as F.
We both think that we're right
all the time for different reasons.
And that is really what makes
working together challenging.
What also makes working together
challenging and something I hate about you..
When we're in the car together,
Mark just sneaks these silent
but deadly farts out.....
Mark?
{Laughs} You're so sick.
It can get worse.
What do we have in common?
We have a last name in common.
Parents in common.
Career. Both fluent in Spanish.
We're both good at accents,
but you are definitely better at accents.
Thank you.
Both pretty athletic. We love beer.
Most memorable argument?
We argue quite often.
Yeah. It's like a daily occurrence.
We argue about little things like:
should we go left at this street or right?
Should we leave now or in 10 minutes?
I think that our most severe argument ever
was one during that trip around the world
for 6 months...like literally a day or two before,
we're totally drunk and we had this fight
and it was physical..pushing, punching
and rolling on the street.
You almost bit my nipple off. I did!
I had teeth marks in my rib cage.
Next question: what do you do for fun?
Recently, Alex and I have both got into motorbikes
I have Triumph Bonneville.
I have a BMW F800 GS
Personally, me, I'm definitely more
intellectual and kind of like a bit nerdy.
When I have free time, I tend to read a bunch.
My book shelve is pretty big,
and that's what I do in my free time a lot.
In my free time I like to get outside.
I really enjoy being in nature.
I'm big into surfing.
I like trail running, cycling.
Lately I've gotten really into fly fishing.
I just generally like being outside.
What's our funniest memory?
When we filmed the video from the Isle of Mann TT.
Oh, dude. I was constipated.
I asked Alex for some Ex Lax
Wait. Mark always used to give me shit,
literally, about traveling with Ex Lax.
And I travel with Ex LAx because
one of the things that happens when you're traveling
is irregularity.
I gave Mark Ex LAx.
He ate the entire packet of chocolate,
instead of just one piece of chocolate.
I overdosed, and it was so disgustingly brutal,
and Alex helped me out.
That deserves story time.
There will be a story time.
And there's footage......Oh god.
Describe each other in three words:
Intellectual,
humorous,
and quirky.
I like that. I would say:
strong,
determined,
and loyal.
Those are nice.
Thank you.
What's something that annoys you about me?
Alex and I are running a business together
in addition to being brothers, which
makes a lot more points of frustration.
It makes it a lot more important
that we learn to be patient with each other.
For me... I get really frustrated
with the way that Alex types.
I'm really anal about the way we organize files
because there are so many of them.
Alex, for some reason, has trouble
organizing the files
in a way that appeals to my OCD-ness
on the inside. It's just really frustrating.
What annoys me about you??
You're always rushing me.
You tell me that we need to go
like 15 times. I get it the first time.
I'm in the process of going.
I'm getting all my stuff together.
I'm usually the one who is organizing
all the camera equipment and all the
stuff that we need for the shoot,
and Mark is just sitting there waiting.
Let's go! Let's go! I'm not waiting.
Bro, you could help me out.
How about you help organize some of this stuff,
and then we can leave faster?
Also though, you tend to
have to take a poop right when we're leaving!
I tell you 15 times because I know
that if I tell him now, maybe he'll take the poop,
and then in 15 minutes we'd be ready to go.
That's why. Let's go.. All right......
and then he goes to the bathroom.
Who keeps a cleaner room?
I think Alex does. Yeah.
Who takes longer to get dressed?
[Alex] Yeah....no question.
I call it preening. You know how birds are??
What does your brother think about the most?
Carrie Rad.
Thank you.
I would say you worry a lot.
We have long, detailed discussions
that sometimes turn into arguments
about hypothetical situations
that haven't happened.
And I think you dedicate too much of
your brain power to playing out situations
that haven't happened yet.
This is probably true.
However, I'm also .....between us ...
the strategic thinker.
I am the strategic thinker.
Next question: who reads more?
[Mark] I do for sure.
What's something you like to do together?
I think we like to eat together.
Yeah..We dine, Bro.
This next question is kind of messed up.
Who's the more talented?
I think it's very much ..we have different talents.
That's why we can do what we do because
I know my strengths,
but you complement my strengths,
which are my weaknesses.
That's the same for me.
What does your brother really bad at?
Honestly, hand-eye coordination, Bro.
Are you talking about yourself?
No, I'm talking about you. oh.
What am I really bad at?
Alex has a really, really short temper.
That's not true.
What's the best thing about one another?
Your beard is pretty good when you pull it out.
Really???
When it gets past this long, it starts to look like pubes.
And that's when I don't like your beard.
What was that?
A little bit of beard oil there.
You don't have enough beard oil
naturally growing in that thing?
Just from the poutine that I just ate.
If we're just going to be talking about features,
I would say your hair, Brother.
Because my hair is just untamable .
And I've always been.......
my life would be so much easier if
my hair were straight and thick.
You used to have an afro too.
Your hair changes every couple years.
Who takes longer to get ready? Ding.
Nicknames for each other?
I call you Marcus Aurelius,
the philosopher, emperor.
My nickname for Alex recently
has been Gustave,.
which is short for....this is so weird..
When he was younger his nickname was Flanders.
We had neighbors, and I would go over to
their house and he was obsessed with
The Simpsons.
When he would open the door, he'd say,
" Hello, Flanders."
When we were in Paris, Mark started calling me
Flambert, and then Gustave Flabert, I guess.
The writer of Madame Bouvary.....
something similar...I don't know.
So I started calling him Gustave.
I kind of like Gustave.
It's a nice nickname.
Makes me feel Swedish.
Last thing we talked about?
Going to a therapist.
Before that.
Before we talked about going to a therapist,
we talked about whether or not the apartment
we're looking at right now is
the right one.
Right now we're filming at my girlfriend's
apartment, Carrie Rad.
If you don't know her, go check out her channel.
We'll link it below. She's awesome.
Are we close?
We're not always the best of friends.
Sometimes we fight a lot.
I think, though, it's because
we are two different people
who live together,
work together,
travel together, spend almost all
our time together.
For me, personally,
sometimes I'm just like... I need
some space. I need to go for a run
or I need to take a day or two off
because what we do is so involved
and it requires so much of our attention
and our emotional bandwidth.
Of course, we're close, man.
We wouldn't be doing this.
We wouldn't be here doing this right now
if we weren't close. Yeah.
Ok. This one is cool.
Next question:
what's one thing you can do that your sibling can't?
You can speak like Donald Duck. I can't do that.
Oh you can't? Why not?
I like to speak like Donald Duck. Quack!
You can tie your shoes.
I cannot tie my shoe correctly.
What? Your shoes are tied.
I tie them backwards.
I've been tying my shoes , like a bow,
backwards for years.
All right. I didn't know that.
If you want me to tie your shoes, let me know, Bro
I've got you. That's what brothers are for.
What's the one dish you want your mom
to make when you feel down?
Pasta Carbonara. Yeah.
Eating is what we like to do together.
Last one. Complete this statement.
My sibling is: a really good brother.
I couldn't wish for a better one, really.
There could be some moments, some area
{that's so fake} no it's not, dude.
I'm not going to complain because, you know,
it could be a lot worse, man.
I would say....my sibling is:
the only one that I have.
My sibling is awesome.
I love you, Bro. I love you, too.

There's one thing that we have not really told you about
and that would be us.
The reason we haven't told you our story
is that it's all over the place,.
and it spans multiple years.
This video is all about our
YouTube story......
Who we are, where we come from,
how we started making films,
and how we got to where we are.
