when you look at like business stuff do you was there like what's like were
there some small
choices you made along the way in your career that like you were like oh wow
that was bigger
than I thought or were there things that you kind of passed up um where you're
like maybe that or
what like that was a learning curve because you guys get thrown so many
products I mean people
come at me with all types of stuff you know like do these band-aids or
something and do these neck
braces it's like I'm not even hurt or anything and they want you to um um to be
honest I'm I say
no a lot like oh yeah yeah just I get so many things for me something to do
with lube you know
create my own lube could be it could be a good idea but I'm just there like why
why like for the autos
or no for the for the for autos or for for the sex you mean um I don't know
what you mean or for like
is it a lube for mechanics for no like an engineering type of um like a no no
for for sex oh all right
yeah now if you could do a dual lube there you know what I'm saying like if you're
it works for both
hey this tire's not turning neither is this woman so you could like you know I
think if you could
leverage that now that's really you know what you might be onto something a guy
a friend of mine who's
a comedian in the States he told me one time the one thing you can always say
is just no like if you
don't know what to do yeah then just say no yeah because you're probably okay
where you're at and then
you can figure it out um yeah well I feel like I've I've got quite far by just
saying no I mean
obviously I'm like that I'm glad I said yes to prime yeah yeah I feel like that
was definitely
um a dub yeah for sure man yeah it's unbelievable I mean that's something like
that change does
something like that change your life to like a different perspective even for
yourself I mean
that's remarkable I don't think it's changed me as a person but it's changed my
lifestyle yeah yeah I
just have a lot more private jets now yeah which is yeah more private jets uh I
more lunch more more
lunch I'm able to relax a lot more uh I'm able to just yeah not worry about too
much look after the
family etc like yeah it's just now it's like I can really just do what I want
whereas uh you know
before prime I'm I'm still like I'll still be able to do what I want but like I
had to be
more strategic etc and you know like yeah I guess play the game a bit more yeah
yeah well congrats
man yeah I mean it's that thank you it's valued at billions of dollars that
company it's well it's
it's taken us a lot of a lot of hard work to get to that point it's just I
think people don't realize
because you see people trying to replicate left right and center yeah just the
marketing you have
to do like especially the first year we traveled so much from America to Europe
to you know all these
different places just to promote like day after day like just doing appearances
yeah yeah and just
doing PR left right and center just to constantly get prime in people's faces
like yeah it's it was
intense and like yeah it's quite draining on the body but like you know we knew
the vision we knew
we had a product that was gonna fly you know it tastes great and you know it's
better than our
competitors so yeah my nephew has two primes before he goes to sleep okay yeah
and he's doing pretty good
he's um he has his dreams he said are pretty good so I think that's why he
enjoys it as like kind of a
dream enhancer but yeah he's kind of a unique kid but I think he's only about
eight or nine but okay
yeah he'll put away some prime before bed um but yeah I think it's just wow
when something like that
happens and people don't see how much has to go into it how many like just
places you have to show up
at appearances um yeah whose whose plan was prime was it just you guys had come
together so Logan came to
me and he was like oh you know I've got this idea uh um two other guys that we
work with when it
comes to prime and he was like yeah we should uh try and work together so I was
there like all right
first of all you know we were first in a boxing match so I don't know yeah I
remember yeah yeah
yeah I don't know chill bro but you know I was there like I wanted like get you
know really understand the product
yeah you know know who the other two guys were and just really understand
everything and you know
at first I was a bit unsure you know I tried the product product was fine I was
like oh this tastes
really good and then yeah we just went with it wow so it's crazy if do we
actually have like a prime
if I can oh okay well yeah have you ever had one I've had one oh okay but no it's
you can see um I
think it's at the bottom where it says um made by the prime team so it was
going to be KSI and Logan
but because I left just before the launch uh they changed it to the prime team
yeah yeah so you have
to fight your way back in or did you just no no no no no no no they they
definitely were like yo we
want you we want you back and we need this wow yeah so so wow that's crazy you
were that close this
close to being like no to prime yeah wow very like and what was it was it just
a feeling where you like
pray about it one night you're like I'm gonna see how I feel tomorrow we're
like you're just gonna trust
your instincts a little more because that's crazy dude that's crazy to be
because I've been close on
little things where you're like nothing like prime but you know different
opportunities where like
this doesn't feel right and yeah um no it was just you know there was just a
few things that were
happening and I was just like oh I wasn't too sure and then once those things
got rectified I was there
like yeah I'm all in let's do it wow yeah that's fucking incredible
congratulations thank you thank you
yeah because to then create a product that does so well that's like yeah that's
after you have some
success it feels like that's what everybody tries to get you to do yeah yeah do
this toothpaste
do this you know yeah yeah I get people wanting me to do everything yeah yeah
it's just gonna be like
prime it's just you know it's it's gonna be hard to replicate something like
prime yeah and why would
you yeah I mean it would be silly but people are always trying to get me like
yeah do these knee
braces a lot of stuff for me is like knee brace or like um pull up a knee brace
if you can brother
you guys have them here do you have bad knees no but it's just the kind of shit
you get approached with
you know but were there choices of things that you did like pass up where you
were like oh that was
smart like at the time I couldn't see it like just because like having vision
like that is interesting
and important you know like well I mean I I can tell you a bad situation uh
where I decided to do
this video with some Asian content creator it was I don't know why I did it I
think well I did know why
I did it because I got asked to do it for about like 5k at the time and for me
back then was huge oh it's a
a lot of money so I'd just be in this video and I had to like collect balls
while being attached to him
so I was also in like lycra or is or just like a really tight morph suit okay
and uh we had to just
be attached to each other and collect balls that sounds very pull billy elliott
back up again if you
will I think uh so now we've each had um so that was the one I probably regret
Thank you.
