Haley
Okay, well, welcome back to another episode of Talk to Em. It's been a hot minute since we've been back here, but now we're the official owners of Talk to A. And we may or may not have flew to London to get a very special guest for you.
KSI
We got KSI yo yo live in the flesh, baby. Thank you for having me.
Haley
Well, of course. Thank you for coming on.
KSI
Yeah. This, I know, is gonna annoy Jake Paul.
Chelsea
Oh, definitely.
KSI
But I'm glad you're free from his grasp, are not able to flourish and be. Well. One of the best podcasts.
Haley
A butterfly. Yeah, A beautiful butterfly.
Chelsea
What's the beef with Jake Paul?
KSI
I mean, it's been going on for years, man. Long story short, I called him out and he refused to fight me. And then we've just been going back and forth for several years, and now it's got to the point where people are kind of just sick and tired of us talking.
Chelsea
It's about that time.
KSI
About.
Haley
It is about that time.
KSI
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, look, we've always been going on saying, like, oh, I want to fight him. He says he wants to fight me, and then it's just never worked out. So, yeah, honestly, like, I'm kind of bored of it. I'm sure he's bored of it. So at this point, you know, it's.
Haley
Just kind of there.
KSI
It's just there. So, yeah, I. I've never really liked him. I don't like what he stands for. I don't think he's a good person. He doesn't have fans, just people who hate watch him.
Haley
Fair enough.
KSI
Yeah.
Haley
If y'all ever box, we got to get tickets.
Chelsea
Chelsea, you know whose side we're sitting on, and it's not Jake.
Haley
But you're in business with Logan, aren't you?
KSI
Yeah, I'm in business with Logan. Logan's cooler. Logan's a lot more cool to, like, deal with, work with. He's. He's like, obviously, you know, he's got haters, but I feel like he genuinely is a good person, a way better person than Jake Paul. And, yeah, man, like, we just get on. Like, we have. We're quite similar in our way of thinking, and, yeah, it's just good vibes whenever we're together.
Haley
I think we've only met him one time, right? Yeah, he's really nice when I met him.
KSI
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Nice. He's good vibes, man.
Chelsea
How did you two start working together?
KSI
Yeah, well, me and Logan, well, we were enemies when we were fighting, and then we just talked to each other behind the scenes, and then we went on a podcast and taught there. And honestly, we were just, like, going back and forth like it was nothing. Like, it was so easy. It was like. It got to a point where we were like, oh, why do we hate each other? Like, this is, like. This is cool. We're like. Like, it's just like we're friends.
Haley
Yeah, those are the best kind of friendships. I didn't think I was gonna like Chelsea when she moved to my school.
KSI
No way. Let me guess. Were you guys enemies before?
Haley
I wouldn't say really enemies. I just. I was like, she looks like a bitch. I'm not gonna talk.
Chelsea
Which she. She was a thing with my brother a little bit. Like, right before we met each other.
Haley
That was in eighth grade.
Chelsea
Yeah, but that was. That's how I know you.
Haley
And then you come freshman year.
KSI
Yeah.
Haley
Everybody was a thing with your brother.
Chelsea
Yeah, you're right.
Haley
Everybody in my friend group had a thing with him.
KSI
Oh, wow. Where is he now?
Chelsea
He's just.
Haley
Yeah, I don't know. He's at home. He's doing something. Yeah, he cracked me up the other day. He was trying to sell me a house.
KSI
Really?
Haley
It was. I was like, you get money out of it? He's like, yeah. And I was like, no.
KSI
It's funny. One of my best friends, I hated beginning of secondary school. So it was like, year seven, I was about 11, and his name was Simon. He's part of the Sidemen now. But, yeah, me and him for that first year would always just be fighting. Yeah. Yeah. Fighting constantly. And then year eight, we just. I don't know what happened. Like, I think after the summer break, we just became cool. Like, we just were like, oh, why do we hate each other? And then we just started talking, and then we just became friends since then.
Haley
Heck, yeah. I feel like there's really good friendships.
KSI
Yeah.
Haley
Are you still friends with them?
KSI
Yeah, yeah. He's part of the sidemen. So he's. So Sidemen are seven members, including me, and we just make videos every Sunday.
Haley
Every Sunday.
KSI
Every Sunday on our main channel, and then different days on our second channel. And then there's a react channel as well. And then we're also working on Netflix shows, a show called Inside. And we're currently working on season three or the first season of the US Inside version. And. Oh, my God. I'm gonna say any spoilers, but this, hands down, is the best season.
Haley
You think?
KSI
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Chelsea
I need to watch. I think I've seen it on Netflix. Is it like a group of influencers? Yes, yes.
KSI
And we put them into a house and then there's a prize fund. So it goes from like a million pounds and there's like nothing in the house. And basically for them to buy luxurious stuff to enjoy themselves, they have to spend money from the prize fund. So it's like, okay, what are you going to do? Are you going to spend money?
Haley
Everybody's money?
KSI
Yeah, but that's everyone's. Or are you going to just save? But then you've got the idea of people just voting you out and then you just having a terrible time not spending any money and then you get voted out. So, like, there's so many elements to it and there's so much backstabbing. There's so many moments where people are having a great time and then having a terrible time. They, you know, there's back and forth, there's people shouting at each other.
Haley
I think you should put Chelsea in on it.
Chelsea
I feel like it causes so much drama. I don't think I've been sitting there.
Haley
Biting my nails watching it.
KSI
That's the thing. You don't have to be a drama filled person. You can just be laid back, chill and relax. But then a lot of people, they just target you because you're an easy target. You're just there like, okay, I'm just gonna vote you out because you're not really. You're not doing anything. You're just.
Chelsea
So once you get voted out, you're like off the.
KSI
Yeah, yeah. Out of the house.
Chelsea
Okay.
Haley
You said this is season three coming out.
KSI
So this, this is season three or the US Version of season one? Yeah.
Haley
You've been to the US a few times, right?
KSI
Way too many times.
Haley
Do you have a favorite state or anything?
KSI
Favorite state. Definitely not L. A. Definitely not L. A. I do not.
Chelsea
Agree with you on that.
KSI
I feel like L. A has just gone downhill over the years, man. Oh, I like New York.
Haley
I like New York.
KSI
I like New York. New York is cool. I like Texas. Texas is cool as well.
Chelsea
Have you been to Tennessee?
KSI
No, I don't think so. No.
Chelsea
Nashville?
KSI
No, no, no, no, no. But I know mine's just there.
Haley
Yes, we like ma'am. Yeah, he's a cool dude.
Chelsea
He wrote us a song, actually.
Haley
Yeah, he did.
KSI
Wait, what?
Chelsea
Yes.
KSI
No way.
Chelsea
Well, I don't know if it was like some dudes a part of their team.
Haley
I think it was. What do you call it? His studio. He's got. He's got a studio. The basement of his house.
KSI
Yeah, I know. His house is crazy. I can't believe I still haven't been. I just. Because I'm so busy. It's just hard to find time. But I definitely need to go.
Chelsea
You definitely need to come to Nashville, though. We'll take you line dancing.
KSI
Line dance? What's that?
Haley
Don't let her sign you up for that because I don't even know how to line dance.
Chelsea
No, it's line dancing. Yeah.
KSI
Did you just dance in the line.
Chelsea
Or it's like a group. A group. We have to, like, learn the dances first.
KSI
Okay.
Chelsea
But it's like a group of people and you're all doing the same dance. It's fun. Trust me.
KSI
That did not sound fun.
Haley
It is like, me.
Chelsea
It's, like, out at Broadway. You know what Broadway is, right? Yeah, yeah. Like, the bars down there, like, certain bars will do, like, line dancing nights. It's a lot of fun. You gotta hear me out.
KSI
I feel like I need to see it. Yeah, yeah.
Haley
If somebody wants to hold you up to that, deal. Y'all have fun and go ahead. I will not be participating in that. I'll be able to. I'm not a dancer. I'm uncoordinated.
KSI
Sorry. Electric Slide. I don't know what that is.
Haley
You don't know what the Electric Slide is?
KSI
No.
Haley
That's great. Don't ask me how to do it.
KSI
What is an electric. Do you just slide?
Haley
It's like a. How do I explain what the Electric Slide is? It's like a very common dance. Yeah, right.
Chelsea
It, like.
KSI
Is it, like, you know, in football or soccer, as you would say? You know, when they score a goal and they celebrate and they knee slide.
Chelsea
Yeah. It's not.
KSI
But then they get electrocuted.
Chelsea
That's a good guess, but no.
KSI
Oh, man. Yeah. I have no idea what this Electric Slide is or line dancing is. I feel like this is definitely an American thing.
Chelsea
Yeah, definitely.
KSI
Yeah.
Haley
Yeah, it definitely is.
Chelsea
Okay, so you guys not dance when you go out to the bars?
KSI
Well, yeah, we dance, but we kind of like skank.
Chelsea
What is that? Skank means something different where we're from.
Haley
Skank means so completely different. What does that.
KSI
What does skank mean in America?
Chelsea
What would you say? What does it mean?
Haley
Okay. I'll give you the proper definition for it. Yeah.
KSI
Oh, God.
Haley
Okay. It's. It's not something you really want to be called. Yeah, it basically means you're, like, sleazy.
KSI
Oh, okay.
Haley
It's basically sleazy. But it says. Okay, that one's a dance here. Okay, I'm not gonna read that.
KSI
Oh, God.
Haley
Okay. I'm not gonna. I'm not gonna read the definition, but it's basically like a really sleazy woman, I'd say.
KSI
Oh, okay, Yeah.
Haley
A whore or something like that, you know?
Chelsea
Very offensive.
Haley
He said the skank as a woman.
Chelsea
Imagine being like, let's go skank. Yeah, he's trying to go dance.
Haley
Oh, God, that's perfect. I couldn't imagine just walking down the street here and just saying, yeah, you want to go skank?
KSI
Yeah, I get. Yeah, fair. I hear it, I hear it.
Chelsea
Okay, wait. I do have a question.
KSI
Hit me.
Chelsea
What does kosa mean?
KSI
Knowledge, strength, and integrity. Oh, it's quite nice, right?
Haley
I tried guessing what it was. It started with kangaroo. When I get.
Chelsea
The whole time, I thought it was, like, your initials or something.
KSI
I guess what people might be like, kangaroo because of my boxing style.
Chelsea
Yeah.
KSI
Bouncing around.
Haley
Like, if you want to change it up, you could use kangaroo. Okay. That's as far as I got.
KSI
Kangaroo, kangaroo, strong. So what's your actual name, Intelligent Olujide Olatunji. So it's a Nigerian name. So it means wealth, which is hilarious, because that's perfect. Let's go, Mom.
Haley
So what was the first thing you got, like, really known for?
KSI
Oh, FIFA.
Haley
What is FIFA?
KSI
So FIFA is like football game or soccer game, where I know you pass the ball around the pitch and then you put it in the net. No, I did not come up with it.
Haley
You just played it nice.
KSI
I played the game, yeah. Yeah. And then I just make various videos on it, and it just went viral like that. I mean, viral back then was like, over 50k. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Back then, obviously, if you went viral now, it'd be like, oh, you have to have over a million or something like that. But, yeah, back then, yeah, 50k was like, yo, what? This is crazy. So, yeah, I was just getting views like that on these FIFA videos. And then, you know, I just got bigger and bigger. I started making videos on, like, Husky and this guy called Twig or this guy called Akin Fenra, etc. And all these random footballers. And it got to a point where I just got so big doing these type of videos, and I was like, okay, I feel like this isn't sustainable. I have to show my face. I have to, like, to be able to do more because I knew, like, there was a ceiling of just doing videos behind the camera and just use my voice. So I was like, okay, I'm gonna show my face. And now allow me to do different types of videos, add skits into my videos, and I'll be able to, you know, do raps, etc. So, yeah, I kind of just used my videos as a way to showcase my personality more and more to the point where, you know, I was able to just do whatever. And for me, I knew my main goal was I want to make sure I'm able to do whatever I want, whenever I want.
Haley
I need to get on that level.
KSI
So it's. But you. I had to start somewhat early. Like, I know I got big from FIFA, but, you know, kind of similar to how Speed got big with, like, NBA and then he kind of just did more, like streaming, like in real life and like, showcasing his personal personality. I was so, like, I knew I had to bring out my personality because that would allow me to do whatever I want.
Haley
It gets you somewhere.
KSI
Yeah, yeah. Because, you know, people are interested in that stuff. There are some people who got big on games and then they just play that game forever and then eventually people just get bored of that game.
Haley
Yeah.
KSI
And then they kind of just die off with the game because they didn't, you know, they didn't switch it up. They didn't change. They didn't show their personality on the same thing.
Haley
Kind of.
KSI
Yeah.
Haley
So you said starting early. How old are you?
KSI
So I am 31.
Haley
31.
KSI
Yeah. Yeah.
Haley
When did you start?
Chelsea
Never guess that.
KSI
Really? How old did you think?
Chelsea
I was thinking, like, 25.
KSI
Why?
Chelsea
I don't know.
Haley
We both assume that.
KSI
25.
Haley
Yeah. We didn't look it up.
Chelsea
But I didn't know. I didn't know that you, like, started out, like, at an early age.
KSI
Yeah. So it's funny, like, I guess when I started to where I am now, there's probably people who are like, well, how am I trying to say this? Basically my whole career, I've gone through different generations. I've been here for a long time.
Chelsea
Yeah.
KSI
That's basically what I'm trying to.
Haley
Are you born and raised here?
KSI
Born and raised here in England. Yeah.
Haley
Are your pants from here too?
KSI
No. So they're from Nigeria. So one was born in Nigeria and the other was born in England, but then moved back to Nigeria and then moved back to England.
Haley
That's Ningi.
KSI
Yeah, It's. It's cool. How about. How about you?
Haley
Tennessee.
KSI
Tennessee. Tennessee.
Chelsea
Yep.
KSI
Yeah.
Haley
We're a little slower than most people.
KSI
Well, I feel like I'm always so interested in, like, other people's come up. Like, obviously yours is the hot Tour.
Haley
It was unintentional, I swear.
KSI
Yeah, yeah. So, like, explain to me with how that whole situation felt.
Haley
It was really overwhelming at first.
KSI
Yeah.
Haley
But where she's trying to take you in Nashville, stay away from cameras there. Just take my cameras.
Chelsea
Yeah, that's where it started.
Haley
That's exactly where it started on the street. So stay away from that.
KSI
Is that people just with cameras all the time there now?
Chelsea
No, not. Well, ever since then.
Haley
Ever since then, yeah.
Chelsea
Because everyone's seen that and they're trying to.
KSI
Oh, they're trying to get a new hot tour.
Haley
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That actually was a thing.
Chelsea
Yeah, it was.
Haley
Application for new hot tour.
KSI
Wow. Yeah, I. I can imagine. Like, especially because your comment was so fast. You must have had so many DMs, so many messages. People from school hitting you up. And it must have been, like you said, so overwhelming. And then for you, I mean, I felt like you did. You were so smart in instantly creating, like, content through it and being a content creator. Me, like, okay, let me capitalize on this and take charge. And yeah, it must have been like a complete whirlwind.
Haley
Well, this goes over my mind a whole lot that everybody in the world's probably seen that. And like, when we got here, we were. Where are we going? We were walking down the street.
Chelsea
Yeah.
Haley
I can't remember where we're going. We're going to see the guards.
Chelsea
I don't know. But it's so weird. People from Buck Palace. Yeah.
Haley
Yeah.
Chelsea
So weird. People from London know who you are. Like, that amazes.
Haley
I got you the hawk too, ago. I don't know. It's so crazy. I'm like, man, they seen that too.
KSI
Yeah.
Haley
Which. I had a lot of fans over here, like when I first started getting messages from the uk.
KSI
Yeah.
Haley
It's so unusual.
Chelsea
It's like here in Australia.
Haley
Yeah. We love the Aussies.
KSI
Just so viral, man, is. It's just. It's crazy. But, yeah. And then obviously, you know, you've had your roller coaster.
Haley
Yeah, I'm still here.
KSI
Well, I mean, that's it. You. Because, like, I've been doing this for so long. I've had my ups and my downs and my downs and everything. And it's just. You've just got to roll with the punches and just stay consistent. You know, I. I say this to everyone. Like, you know, you're not going to be the main person all the time. You have to learn to just take a back seat sometimes, but keep going. And then eventually, you know, you might be up Again. And then you'll be down, and you just gotta keep going, keep going. And, you know, in this industry, people are going to use and abuse you.
Haley
Like, I found that out the hard way.
KSI
People gonna use your hype and go, oh, my God, you're it. This is it. And then when your hype is dying off a little, they're like, all right, spit you out, next person. And that's just this industry. It's all about getting clicks. It's all about getting hits. It's all about just being.
Haley
Making money, making money.
KSI
That's it. That's all people care about. Which is. It's a shame, because it's so hard to find real people, you know, loyalty in this industry.
Haley
I agree.
KSI
But that's why, you know, you've gotta just keep your close ones, real close, and then just, you know, take everything with a pinch of salt. And. Yeah, just like I said, we're over the punches, man.
Haley
I try.
KSI
Yeah. Yeah, you've got this. You've got this, man. Like, you know, you're back here again. You know, you haven't just hidden away and just gone up. Screw this.
Haley
I'm done for a little bit.
KSI
But it's good that you've come back, you know, come back strong and, you know, you're still here. Yeah. And that's it. You just have to just keep going. You're gonna get haters. Even when this comes out, people are still gonna hate on you. Be like, oh, what about this? This, that. That, you know, ignore. It's just noise, you know, just enjoy yourself.
Haley
Heck, yeah. I got you at this point.
KSI
Yeah. And. Yeah, just. Yeah, just. Yeah. And just have fun. Yeah.
Haley
What age did you start getting in all this?
KSI
Oh, I'd say around 14, 15. Yeah, I was quite young.
Haley
You've been doing this for a while.
KSI
Yeah, yeah, I've been doing this for a very long time.
Chelsea
I didn't realize how similar, like, you and the Paul brothers are. Yeah, I think, like, the Paul brothers are our version of, like, you, except you're way friendlier, obviously. They're like the assholes of the Internet.
Haley
That's what they want to be, though. At least Jake is. I don't really know what. Logan's whole stick.
Chelsea
He's also.
Haley
But Jake knows it, and he's okay. So.
KSI
Yeah, it's. It's. It's a thing. Like, I guess on the outside, especially with Logan, he's, you know, he's the bad guy. But then privately, he's actually really cool. It's just Jake, who just Isn't.
Chelsea
See, that's how I felt about Jake. I was like, I hated him until I met him.
KSI
Yeah.
Chelsea
Like, once I met him, I was like, okay, this is a nice guy.
Haley
He gave us a hat and hug when we first met him. I was like, all right, you know what? He's a cool guy. He gave me a hand hug. Yeah, it was very warming.
KSI
Yeah. I don't know, man. I. I feel like you can. But anyway, I don't want to talk about that guy anymore. But, yeah, it's. Yeah, it's. It's a funny industry, man.
Haley
Quick break, y'all. I want to tell you about Paws Across America, my nonprofit helping rescue animals and shelters across America.
Chelsea
We've saved pups, donated supplies, and helped long stay dogs get adopted.
Haley
You can help, too. Go to hwpaws.org for more info. Every bit helps.
Chelsea
If you love animals and you don't suck, you're invited to join our army of animal lovers again.
Haley
That's hwpaws.org let's save some tales together. Would you ever consider boxing, Conor McGregor, if you come back?
KSI
I mean, I tried and, yeah. And it didn't happen. He. He said nah.
Haley
Did he?
KSI
Yeah, he. He refused. But I mean, like, it is what it is. He's doing his thing. He's got a lot going on, especially bare knuckle and whatever situation he's going through, so it's fine. Yeah.
Haley
You ever box bare knuckle?
KSI
Nah, it's not. Nah. I just don't need to. I don't need to. I feel like for me, I know my worth. And over. Over the past couple months, I've definitely understood what my worth is. And yeah, I've had time, especially when I was very ill recently, I had time to really think about my life and what I want out of it. So, yeah, that's fair enough.
Haley
I think everybody needs to have, like one of those times, though.
KSI
Yeah. Yeah. I definitely get it every now and then. Just because sometimes you just move so fast, there's so much going on that you don't have time to think. You're just going, yeah, yeah, sure, sure. Okay. And with my life, it's always just that I have. Because I have so many hats on. I've got the music, I've got the boxing, I've got YouTube Sidemen. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, but like a lot of times, because I've got so much going on, I don't have time to think for myself, process it. Exactly. So I'm always just going, going, going and just Saying yes to everything. And then, you know, a lot of times I just blow out and explode because I'm just like, oh, my. It's too much. So every now and then, you know, especially my body tells me, stop by force. And. And then with that, I get time to think and go, okay, I understand it now.
Haley
Yeah, everybody crashes that at some point.
KSI
Yeah. Yeah.
Haley
You got a lot on your plate, though.
KSI
Yeah, yeah, definitely.
Haley
Props.
KSI
Yeah, I've definitely. Yeah. Got a lot of people relying on me, which is obviously a great thing, but also a terrible thing at the same time because it's a lot of pressure. A lot of pressure. And, you know, I try to do the best I can all the time, but sometimes, you know, I have to be selfish. I have to think for myself. Because, look, if I die, then. Then what?
Haley
You're all jobless.
KSI
Exactly. So, yeah, I think it's better if I'm alive and healthy. You know, healthy is the most important thing. You know, more than money, more than family, etc. Because, you know, if you want to be there for your family, you gotta be healthy. So.
Haley
Gotta be good.
KSI
Yeah. Yeah.
Haley
You ever think I could box?
KSI
Would you want a box?
Haley
I actually do want to box.
KSI
Really?
Chelsea
You gotta give her some tips.
Haley
Yeah, I need some tips. Or you can just train me.
KSI
Who would you want to fight?
Haley
They brought up Bhad Bhabie, but that is. No, that's no way.
Chelsea
It's like the world's biggest memes against each other.
KSI
Oh, my. That would be.
Haley
Personally, I like her. I don't think I could. I feel like I have to have somebody I just. I just despise.
KSI
Have you met her before?
Haley
No. I really want to.
KSI
Okay.
Haley
Yeah, she's a little hard to reach at the moment.
KSI
Yeah, I mean, I don't really know what she's doing. I mean, I know she's smashed it, money wise.
Haley
Hell yeah, she has.
KSI
She has caked it.
Haley
That's like putting me in the lines. Then I would. Absolutely not. I don't care how much money they offer. Put me up against her. Absolutely not. Chelsea. I think you got that one, pal.
Chelsea
I think I have to pass on that one, too.
Haley
They said something about. What's her name? Natalie Reynolds. Yeah, I'd be down to fight her.
KSI
Natalie Reynolds.
Haley
Do you know who that is?
KSI
I think I've heard. I'm guessing it's not related to her.
Chelsea
I think she's. Is she a streamer?
Haley
I think she's some kind of influencer, I think. But she dared a homeless woman to jump in the river that couldn't swim for $20. And then she ran away.
KSI
Oh, okay. I'm guessing she's not related to Ryan Reynolds.
Chelsea
No, that's what she claims.
Haley
Dick. She has, too. Oh, yeah.
KSI
Okay.
Haley
She's like, yeah, he's my dad.
KSI
What?
Haley
Yeah.
KSI
Okay. Okay.
Haley
And Ryan Reynolds kids are, like, little.
KSI
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Like, how does that work? Like, he must have had kids super young.
Haley
Did you ever see Astrovino?
KSI
No. What's that?
Chelsea
I don't even want to get into.
Haley
Who is that? She's also got a stick with Astrovino, too. And it's like, how do I explain it? She's, like, pretending to be her.
Chelsea
She was, like, making fun of her. Pretty much, yeah. Yeah.
KSI
Okay.
Haley
I don't know. I don't really.
Chelsea
I haven't seen anything good about her.
Haley
I haven't either, but people can say the same shit about me, so I'm like, okay, you know, there's a lot.
Chelsea
Of good of you up there.
Haley
Which, personally, I think everybody's gonna pick my side of hers because she dared a homeless woman to jump in the river.
Chelsea
But you're right.
KSI
Yeah, that's. That's. That's crazy.
Haley
I can't remember how much she weighed. I think it was 110.
Chelsea
I don't know. What about Rachel Ziegler?
Haley
I don't know who that is.
Chelsea
Someone mentioned that the Snow White girl. That's who Johnny was.
KSI
Oh, yeah. She's been getting a lot of hate.
Haley
Yeah, she has been getting a lot of hate. I don't know.
KSI
Have you guys seen. Is it Snow White? Yeah. Have you seen it?
Haley
I haven't seen the new one yet.
Chelsea
I want to watch Only seen bad stuff about it.
Haley
Yeah, I've only seen bad stuff.
KSI
I don't think. It's not really my thing.
Haley
So you don't like Disney Princesses?
Chelsea
What do you mean?
KSI
Surprisingly, no.
Haley
You got to have a favorite, at least.
KSI
I don't think I've seen any of them. Yeah. Not even, like, the cartoon? Yeah. I don't know. It's not really my thing, but, like, I haven't watched even, like, Marvel movies recently. Like, I think End Game was the last one I watched.
Haley
I don't know if that is.
KSI
And then it just. I don't know. It's kind of gone weird.
Chelsea
I don't know.
KSI
But then I think they're bringing it back with Avengers, Doomsday. So it's. It's. Well, I mean, there's no point me.
Chelsea
Trying to explain it, but she don't.
KSI
Know anything at all, but it looks quite good. Well, I mean, I don't know. We haven't seen the plot or anything, but I feel like it's gonna have to be good. Especially since they haven't really had too many hits recently.
Haley
I need to know how you got your prom drinks in every store known to man.
KSI
That's shout out to our distributors.
Chelsea
Wait, did it start out in the uk?
KSI
No. So it started out in America and then eventually came to the UK? Yeah. Yeah. And then we went to different countries, etc. And yeah, it's, it's. It's quite crazy because normally a drink doesn't like, transcend into different parts of the world so quickly.
Chelsea
Yeah, it's very popular.
Haley
It's.
KSI
Yeah, everywhere.
Chelsea
They send me packages all the time. It's my favorite thing to get in the mail.
KSI
Like, I'm always especially like Prime Energy. I. I'm obsessed with it. Like, it's. I'd say, I mean, obviously I'm biased, but compared to any other energy drink, like Red Bull, I just think tastes like ass.
Chelsea
Yeah.
KSI
Monster.
Haley
Tastes like good. Unless it has vodka in it.
KSI
Vodka?
Haley
Yeah. That's the only time I'll drink a Red Bull.
Chelsea
Those with vodka is pretty damn good. The orange one especially.
KSI
Oh, wow.
Haley
Do you have a favorite one?
KSI
I kind of just drink them all. Especially, like prime Energy. Yeah. Like when it comes to hydration. So there was one that was orange and mango. That was my one. You can't get them anymore, but that was definitely one of my favorites. But then you've got Clovery, which, you know, a lot of people like. Lemonade, I like as well. The speeds flavor is pretty good as well.
Chelsea
Like, I could go on, but I've seen the chicken. Fried chicken flavor.
Haley
Just for shits and giggles.
KSI
Well, we are looking to create another one. Another.
Chelsea
That's a crazy flavor.
Haley
That's what we're here for. How do you feel about fried pickles? You don't like fried pickles?
KSI
I just don't like pickles in general. Yeah, man, I thought we were gonna.
Haley
Be good friends, but maybe not.
KSI
Fried pickles.
Haley
Yes, they're delicious. That sounds horrible in a drink, I think. I think they're pretty good if it tastes like pickle juice. I've never even tried a prawn though, so I don't know.
KSI
I've never tried a prom.
Chelsea
Yes, you have.
Haley
I haven't.
Chelsea
Yes, you have. Which one I gave you, like, it was like the hydration. He's like, that's sweet. She's not a fan of sweet stuff, but I like it.
Haley
I'm not up, sweetie.
KSI
Oh, fair. Well, we've got different versions which aren't so sweet as well, so which ones it is. Prime ice. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But for me, I'm always just drinking the prime energy. Yeah, that's definitely my. My main thing.
Haley
Prime energy.
KSI
Yeah.
Chelsea
So the chicken flavor is not a real thing.
Haley
Not yet. I've seen a video.
KSI
So that was just like an April Fool's for last year. So for this year we've got something different. But I mean look, it's.
Chelsea
No, that's crazy.
KSI
For some reason people love it. People love the weird ass flavors that are just not good.
Chelsea
Yeah.
Haley
But yeah, it's just something to review and give your opinion on.
KSI
Yeah, fair. I mean, yeah, people, the thing is it tastes like what we say it is. Yeah, but it's. But I don't know if you really want like chicken in the joint.
Haley
Chicken.
KSI
Yeah.
Haley
I don't know about it. Have you tried the Dubai chocolate?
KSI
Dubai? Oh, yes. So I tried it the other day. Oh my God. I get the hype. I understand the hype. So I, I was just there like, why is this always on my feed? Why are women just craving about this all the time, screaming about it? I tried it for the first time. I was like, oh my God. I understand.
Haley
Which one did you get? Did you get a pistachio or a hazelnut?
KSI
I think I got pistachio.
Haley
See, we didn't try the pistachio one. We tried the hazelnut and it was really good.
KSI
Okay.
Haley
I was like, okay.
Chelsea
I see why they don't have them where we're from.
Haley
I think you gotta order them online, right?
Chelsea
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Haley
We walked into like a pop up shop down here and we saw them.
KSI
They're expensive though.
Haley
Expensive?
Chelsea
Hey, the prom was expensive in the pop up shops. It was like 12. 12 for like one drink.
KSI
What?
Chelsea
Yeah, you better get there.
Haley
Hydration ones though. Like taller bottles.
KSI
Why they. Oh my God. I always hate when they like price it so. Well, I'm guessing you like love the accents as well?
Haley
Yeah, actually she really likes the accents.
KSI
Oh, wow. Like any guy, you just fall in love with them.
Haley
You got any?
KSI
What up for any man?
Haley
Yeah. Okay, so here's. Here's the deal breaker. They gotta have an accent and they gotta be 16 at least.
Chelsea
Six is crazy, huh? That's crazy. I'm like five four.
Haley
So that's like Jesse likes a tall man.
KSI
Yeah, yeah, but I mean it's England. I mean you're More likely to get tall people. Like in America as opposed to England.
Haley
I don't know. We got some hobbits over there.
Chelsea
Yeah, some tall people there too.
Haley
There's a few.
KSI
Wait, so do you normally date super tall people?
Chelsea
No.

KSI
Okay.

KSI
I don't know if I like that song.
Haley
You don't know if you do?
KSI
Yeah.
Chelsea
I don't know if it's not a country fan.
KSI
I don't think it's my thing.
Haley
Okay. What kind of music do you listen to?
KSI
I mean, I listen to all types of music. You know, rap, hip hop, R and B. I like R and B, drum and bass. Just. I like a bit of country as well. Like, honestly, for me, I like most genres. I just. If I like a song, I like it. So, like Cardi's new album, I'm just there, like, oh, there's songs I like, songs I don't like. But, like, I have a playlist of songs I just like. So my playlist is just full of random eyes.
Haley
What's the name of your playlist?
KSI
Liked playlist. I'm just. I'm boring.
Haley
It happens.
Chelsea
We need a song for our. What do you call it? The intro.
Haley
Yeah. What intro should we do?
Chelsea
You got to write us one.
KSI
Write you. Oh, God. Well, it's gotta be like quite short because you don't want it to be like a one minute song.
Haley
It's supposed to be like 20 seconds.
Chelsea
16, something like that.
Haley
Right.
KSI
20 seconds. But you want it to be catchy, you know, instantly capture people's attention and make people go, oh, yeah, yeah, that's the hot tour podcast.
Haley
I think my problem is I don't want my voice on it. I hate hearing my voice. I think you're the same way.
Chelsea
Yeah.
KSI
I used to hate my voice. And then, I don't know.
Haley
You sing though.
KSI
Yeah, but like, over time I get more and more comfortable with my voice and used to it. Yeah.
Haley
Like if I see a video pop up myself, I'm like, nope.
KSI
Really? Yeah. I used to be the same as. Well.
Haley
It bothers me.
KSI
Yeah. It cringes you out. Yeah.
Haley
Really bad. I'm like, oh, my God, why do.
KSI
I sound like that when I used to edit my own videos? Like, I. That's one of the ways I was, you know, forcing myself to have to look at my content.
Chelsea
Yeah.
KSI
So, yeah, but it's fine. Like after a while you get used to it and you're like, okay, this is.
Haley
It's not weird anymore. Yeah, it's still weird to us.
Chelsea
We gotta get you. We gotta get you a walkout song too. You're gonna start boxing.
KSI
Well, hopefully it's not that song. Oh, absolutely.
Haley
It won't be that.
KSI
Yeah, it's a bit too jolly.
Haley
I'm gonna have to skip out to.
KSI
That y. Yeah, I'm sure. I know. Maybe a bit of drill. I knew you wouldn't know what that is. Do you not know what drill is?
Haley
You like Lil Wayne?
Chelsea
I feel like he's not. That's not like really a walk out, you know?
Haley
I don't know. What do you walk out to? What do you walk out to?
KSI
So normally just my own music. Oh, yeah.
Haley
So I could have guessed that.
KSI
I don't know why. Yeah. So like, with Thick of It, that was like, gonna be my walkout song. And then I got injured, so I instead just performed it.
Haley
How'd you get injured?
KSI
My. My knuckle. I don't know if you can see. It's a little bit fucked.
Chelsea
Yeah.
Haley
I'd say.
KSI
Oh, yeah.
Haley
It's even worse when you have it flat.
KSI
Yeah. So like. Like when I. Like, that's me trying to clench my fist. Yeah. It's not great.
Chelsea
It's like, that's what you're about to be like.
Haley
It might not already like that.
KSI
Yeah. So I. I need to get checked. So I'm gonna see a hand specialist and just be like, wagwan, why is it?
Chelsea
What's going on?
Haley
I don't know what's wrong with it. What do you fight again?
KSI
I don't know, man. I don't know. I think for me, it's like, I just want to fight people that are worth it, if that makes sense. Like, because I've. I've only got a finite amount of times I can do this. So I want it to make sense and be worth. And get people excited and get people just. Yeah, when they hear the fight, they go, oh, my God, that's gonna be. This is gonna be good. I can't wait. And I feel like I just haven't had that in a while. Since the Tommy fight.
Haley
Who's your dream guest? I mean.
KSI
Dream guest in the ring? Jake. Paul. Jake, Paul, Jake Paul. Conor McGregor. I'd love to fight Amir Khan, Ricky Hatton, you know, these type of. These type of names. Yeah. No, no, no, no. I'm. I'm sorry, but, like, that whole situation was just disgusting.
Chelsea
I agree.
Haley
He's so sweet. And you just see, like, the edits on Tick Tock of him with his doves.
KSI
I was like, oh, my God, he's so even. Like when he was like buying his gloves while he's fighting and everything, I was just something, man. This guy, he's old, man. Like, he's so. It was just sad.
Chelsea
I just feel like he was holding back the whole time I was like this. It just didn't look right.
KSI
Yeah, man, but I mean, that's Jake, man. He don't care.
Chelsea
He just want.
KSI
It's all about the money. It's all about the bag. He's not. He doesn't care about.
Chelsea
He just likes having people talk. Pretty much.
KSI
That's it. Yeah, it's all about attention for him.
Chelsea
Yeah.
KSI
Any way he can get attention, he's gonna do it.
Chelsea
Oh, yeah.
Haley
I wonder if I could talk Conor McGregor into boxing you. I'd pay to see it. I'd pay so much.
KSI
I mean, I think like for him and for me, like, we've got enough money, we've got enough fame, etc. It's like sometimes some people might think, do we even need it? Like for him? Does he. He's like, he's already complete everything. Like he doesn't need to fight anymore.
Chelsea
Yeah, yeah.
KSI
Just like I. I never needed to fight. I. You know.
Haley
But you wanted to, though.
KSI
I just do it because I enjoy it. Yeah. So, like, ultimately it's. If I'm doing it to enjoy it, then why am I doing stuff that doesn't make sense for me or it's not worth my time? So, yeah, I. I think again, that happened when I got ill. I just had a lot of time to just think about life and I just went, you know what? Let me just figure this out. And. But anyway.
Haley
Yeah, yeah, fair enough. Yo's time zone has me so messed up here.
KSI
The time zone?
Haley
Yes. Well, it changed. What? Yesterday?
KSI
Yesterday. Yeah. Yeah. So, yeah, I can understand that being horrible. I think we lost an hour.
Chelsea
I don't know. It me up.
Haley
Had us tore up so bad. We went from being a five hour difference. My voice just cracks a boom. Sorry. We went from having a five hour difference at home to six hours. So is that okay? Gain one?
KSI
No, I think it's lost. Oh, I don't know.
Haley
And then it was Mother's Day yesterday. I was like, what the hell?
KSI
Yeah, it's a lot.
Haley
Is it Mother's Day at home?
KSI
Did you message your mom? Like, I was about to.
Chelsea
I was like, oh.
Haley
Yeah, we ain't gonna talk about my mother.
KSI
Oh, oh, sorry.
Haley
I rather puss him.
KSI
Okay.
Chelsea
Oh, we have some words.
Haley

KSI
What is going on? Okay, give me another word. Oh, no, that. That's actually pissed me off. That's actually annoying me, man. What are you doing?
Haley
I feel like it's common, though.
KSI
It's normal.
Chelsea
It says, oh, no.
Haley
Like it's something. You go over to Tennessee and everybody's.
KSI
Like, oh, oh, let me rub some oil on you.
Haley
Yeah, yeah.
KSI
No, man.
Haley
You see, you had a perfect Tennessee right there.

Is. Is hot tea a real thing here?
KSI
Hot tea?
Chelsea
Hot tea.
Haley
Like, where you get hot and then you drink tea.

I don't think that's a thing. You could create that as a thing, though. That's quite cool.
Chelsea
I think it's cool.
Haley
I think it's pretty cool myself. And eat some scones. Y'all have scones here?
KSI
You really have scones? Yeah.

Oh, yeah? Yeah. There's so many cool things.
Haley
And the streets are so clean here. It's so nice.
KSI
What?
Chelsea
I think they're clean from where we're from. Yeah. So much cleaner here.
Haley
Like when we went to.
Chelsea
No.
Haley
Hate New York. I still love you, but New York street's terrible.
KSI
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, Absolutely. But, I mean, London is like. I don't know, like, Soho isn't great.
Haley
I mean, I feel like it's pretty clean.
Chelsea
Yeah, I think so.
Haley
Like, if I drop, like, a piece of something on the. I ain't gonna say that.
Chelsea
Like, guys on those big trucks, like, cleaning the roads.
Haley
Oh, the road sweepers.
Chelsea
Yeah.
KSI
Yeah. But I mean, it's still kind of dirty, man.
Haley
You have rats on the streets?
KSI
Yeah, yeah.
Haley
Do you really?
KSI
Yeah, yeah.
Haley
We need to go find one before we leave.
Chelsea
Why would we do that?
KSI
It's kind of hard. They don't really like humans or they tried to avoid humans. You see them more in the tube.
Haley
Tube?
KSI
Yeah.
Haley
What's the tube?
Chelsea
Oh, like you said, that's the only word you got down so far.

KSI
Oh, okay.
Haley
Didn't ride the one in New York, but we ride the one here.
KSI
Ah. Well, how was it? Did you enjoy your experience?
Haley
I sanitized everything that I was about to touch.
KSI
Yeah, yeah, it's pretty grim. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Haley
I'm scared of German, so.
KSI
Oh, wow. It's been a while since I've used the tube. Yeah, I. I mean, I don't know. I'm quite. I just have a driver, so I just drive.
Haley
You can't walk down the street here, though. You get attacked?
KSI
No, no, I just get mobbed. Yeah, it's just. It's. It's a bit of a long process.
Haley
Everything I've seen, like on the Internet is basically like, you're the absolute shit of London.
KSI
I mean, I'll take it. I mean, look, it's. I'm. Because I've been doing it for so long. I'm quite well known, so I'm. Because I'm. It's not like I just stay on YouTube. You know, I also do, like, TV stuff. I also do, like the music and everything. So, like, I've hit so many different demographics to the point where I'm just a household name. So if people see me, they're like, oh, my God, KSI. Like. Like my doors love you or my sons love you, or, you know, I've known you from Britain's Got Talent, you know, I've watched you on tv, etc, so, like a lot. Basically everyone in England knows me.
Chelsea
Does it get. Does it get crazy when you go out in the us?
KSI
You know what? It's. Ever since Prime. Yeah, it started to get quite.
Haley
I don't doubt that. You cannot go down the interstate where we live and not pass like three or four Prime.
KSI
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Haley
Ridiculous.
KSI
And yeah, it's just. Yeah, it's. It's wild, but it's. It's cool. Like, everyone is always nice, you know, I very rarely get any situation. I think I had one situation like a few years ago where some guy ran up on me in America.
Haley
He tried to wet you up thank.
KSI
God he didn't try to wake me up, but he did try to fight me. Like. Yeah, one to one combat. Yeah, it was. I couldn't believe it. He just, he asked of my name and I was like, oh, yeah, I'm KSI. And he was like, cool, then punch me in the stomach. And I was like, okay, what? And then I saw that he had a few guys who were just filming, so he was trying to knock me out. But no, not on my watch.
Haley
Trying to do it for clicks.
KSI
I've never been knocked out. It's crazy.
Chelsea
That's a flex, though.
KSI
I've been in so many, like, top spas. I've been punched so hard so many times. But yeah, I just, I don't sleep.
Chelsea
Do you ever get any, like, crazy DMs from people in America?
KSI
Well, I mean, I get crazy. Museums in general. I mean, you get the racist one, you know, I mean, I don't. Do I. Do you want to hear me say what they say?
Chelsea
I'm curious because the DMs we get from like the UK. The UK or Australia.
Haley
Or like, send me fake pictures or I'll end you.
KSI
Okay. Well, I mean, for me, a lot of times it's just people calling me a monkey or the N word this, N word that. I've had someone say they want to suck the farts out of my ass.
Chelsea
I've had one of those.
Haley
She's always.
KSI
Yeah. Or, you know, I'd smear your shit all over me. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I'm like, these are from like dudes.
Chelsea
Yeah.
KSI
And then from women. They're just like, I will let you do whatever to me. I was like, wow, okay, take a.
Haley
Step back there, sister.
Chelsea
And you're in a relationship.
KSI
Yeah, I've been in a relationship for about almost eight years now.
Chelsea
And she's not married.
KSI
No.
Haley
Waiting for the perfect time, huh?
KSI
I feel like there's no rush.
Haley
No.
KSI
I feel like a lot of people like to rush into things. I'm, I'm, I'm quite a laid back guy. Quite chill. And I'm quite private as well. Like, I like to keep.
Haley
Cannot blame you.
KSI
My private life. I keep my private life very private. And then, you know, my public life. Yeah, you get to see whatever.
Haley
And you know that ain't about like the public eye, right?
KSI
No, no, no. So she, she isn't famous?
Haley
No, I think it's better.
KSI
Yeah. Yeah.
Haley
Anybody I've talked to or had on podcast, they say the same thing. Yeah, it's better to not data I.
Chelsea
Feel like if you're both in the public eye, like, it'd be like, I.
Haley
Don'T know, you're fighting.
Chelsea
You're trying to, like, outshine one another.
Haley
Yeah, that's what.
KSI
Yeah, that can always happen. Or, you know, you could read into people talking about your relationship too much, so they're just like, oh, you know, I saw she was with this guy and they had really good chemistry.
Haley
Just trying to.
KSI
What, you worry about that? Yeah, yeah. And then, you know, you wouldn't even think about anything. You wouldn't think of it, you know, that big of a deal. But then all of a sudden, it's just a little. It starts growing and growing, growing. All of a sudden you're like, oh, actually, yeah. Like, I don't like the way you're with this guy all the time. And then you get back and forth. But also, I also like that, you know, with my. With my girlfriend, I'm able to just talk about stuff that isn't to do with my career.
Chelsea
You kind of get away from everything.
KSI
It's just different. So. Yeah, it's.
Chelsea
And you've been with her for eight years, you said.
KSI
Yeah.
Chelsea
So, you know, she's genuine.
KSI
Yeah.
Chelsea
Like, that's a good thing.
Haley
You're definitely gonna marry, though, right?
KSI
We'll see.
Haley
We'll see, we'll see.
KSI
Yeah.
Haley
You just wait. I'm waiting for it to happen. I'm gonna manifest it right now.
KSI
I got you.
Haley
Is she from here?
KSI
She's from England, yeah.
Haley
Is she?
KSI
Yeah.
Haley
Yeah.
KSI
I don't want to say too much.
Chelsea
Trying to keep it.
KSI
She's a few years younger than me. Yeah. Yeah.
Haley
That's how me and my man are.
KSI
Yeah. Okay, cool. Yeah. I mean, you don't. You don't want the gap to be too large because you still want to have some things in common. They'll be able to talk about stuff. Yeah, Yeah. I. I mean, the people. I feel like relationships nowadays are so hard to find or to get because things like Tinder or. I feel like with how Dane is right now, it's all about. I just want to have my fun, enjoy myself, you know, I want to go through as many people as possible.
Haley
And just genuinely live the life.
KSI
Yeah.
Chelsea
And I feel like with social media, everyone thinks they have so many options.
Haley
Yeah.
Chelsea
So it's like.
KSI
Yeah, yeah. Like, well, with Tinder, you just swipe right a few times and you're like, oh, okay. On to the next one. To the next one. So it's hard to find someone like your. You know, your Ride or die. Yeah, but, you know, you know, with me, I met my missus on Tinder. So it was.
Haley
Oh, no, it actually worked for you.
KSI
Yeah. So it was during my period of just going crazy. Yeah, I was just like, yeah, I want to just, you know, see different people that left, right, and center. And then, you know, I just kept coming back to her, like I wasn't there wanting a relationship. I just want to be, you know, friends. Who benefits is what it is. But then, you know, I actually started to really like her. And, you know, we'd get along and, you know, I'd be sending her paragraphs all the time. And then all of a sudden, I was like, oh, my God, I think I'm in love. What the. Yeah. Yeah. And then, you know, I asked her out and then. Yeah. Yes. And then. Yeah.
Haley
And then eight years later, it's just.
KSI
Yeah, it's just been great. And obviously, it's not just everything's fantastic. You know, you have ups and downs with all types of relationship. With relationships. Relationships, there is no Disney happy ever after. You're gonna have problems. And. Yeah, we've just worked through it, you know, and it gets a point where you realize, you know, you learn more about each other. You know, also in relationships, people change. See, you know, it's learning to change with people and understanding each other. And. Yeah, over time, you just. Just figure it out.
Haley
But yes.
KSI
Yeah, yeah, it's. It's not a smooth sailing thing, but once you get to a point where you're truly in love with everything about them, it's just. It's just fantastic. Yeah.
Chelsea
Yeah, you're right.
Haley
We're trying to find Chelsea a bachelor. Yeah, Chelsea, a bachelor.
Chelsea
She always is. And I'm like, haley, I'm not even.
Haley
Looking for anything to go on a double date.
Chelsea
We tried that.
Haley
It didn't go good, did it?
Chelsea
I mean, it wasn't bad. It's just not the right time.
KSI
Yeah, yeah, it's. I mean, look, you're still young.
Chelsea
Yeah.
KSI
Yeah. You still have plenty of time. Don't rush it. But, yeah. Just. Yeah. Understand that there are. There is a right person for you. You just gotta take your time, live your life, you know, focus on yourself, better yourself. Like that's so important. A lot of time you try to find someone just to, you know, bring you up when. A lot of time you need to make sure you're happy with yourself.
Chelsea
Yeah.
KSI
You know, you have to be independent.
Chelsea
You gotta be okay with being alone.
KSI
Exactly. And then you'll be able to really be with someone and truly, you know, work together.
Chelsea
Yeah.
Haley
Thank you. Paul's.
KSI
Oh, okay.
Haley
Forgot your gift.
KSI
Oh, I've got a gift. Oh, wow. Let's go. Wild hot tour.
