Thogden Emotionally Addresses His Haters...

guys who are currently watching a clip

from our podcast the fellas the full

podcast is available exclusively on

Spotify with video for free so go ahead

and follow us on Spotify it actually

helps us out more than you can imagine

obviously this World Cup's been great

but I think you're already like blown up

I guess and for me that was over the

Euros I agree I think it was the Euros

because it was post lockdown and

everyone has gone from doing nothing to

suddenly football in Wembley every game

the whole nation's behind us we're doing

well it's all the positives and I was

there making content all the games yeah

and I I love the Euros I find it tough

sometimes to think because I enjoyed the

Euro so much and in the world cup I got

so much thick I got so much love at the

euros and I don't know why I don't know

why it's so different

I think it's because just because you're

bigger now though yeah I guess

and you're breaking on people are

rooting for the like rooting for someone

new that you're a fresh face there

you're at the games and then also but

you would have had like mainly English

people that understood like either your

humor whatever those watching and then

the moment you step into more of like a

world stage you're probably getting a

lot of um people from different

countries watching your videos now yeah

and not necessarily understanding you or

the videos that you've done

um and it's true it's true I'm learning

from from this conversation to be fair

I'm like I'm still 21 years old right so

I'm still pretty young so it was pretty

difficult during the World Cup to like

just see the timeline going for me

people calling me a [ __ ] dude does

that stuff get to you yeah it does it

does I remember we had like some days we

were working 15 hours going to four

matches running around then at the end

of it we were I was working with my

Editor to make sure what I want and then

the thumbnail and then the title and you

finish like what is a 15 hour shift

people don't realize that cause they

just say oh you're going to football

games as you guys know there's a lot

more to it after the game you're on your

phone you're on your laptop working away

so when I I was finishing days at like 2

A.M and then there'd be a match at 10 so

I'll be up at eight so I don't I'd be

barely getting any sleep yeah and I'd be

checking Twitter at the end of the day

you're seeing like what's this all for

like why do I bother why and then you

check the [ __ ] bag

[Music]

I mean I get that but on the bigger

scale I don't even I people think like

money's such a big thing it's really not

it's about memories and when I think

back to the World Cup I made so many

great times yeah that's what I really

enjoy like the fact that I was able to

go to the World Cup and I wasn't even

paid to go stories for the kids yeah it

wasn't I wasn't even paid to go we were

just given the challenge and the tickets

people have this conspiracy I was given

absolute bank and like whenever I went

on national tv as well that was just

because people wanted interviews which

was completely free so people get this

conspiracy that was just sent to go I

was like paid by Qatar I think Simon

Roundtree got into that one as well

before the tournament I was paid I was

paid by Qatar to go yeah but actually I

was not paid a penny not a penny we were

just given the tickets and my dad bought

his own flights it was it was it was

very in the know we originally we were

going to do we were going to do just

England games yeah so it was really

difficult to handle that at the end of

the day but I I still enjoyed the

tournament it was amazing and we made

memories with my dad I'll never forget

like yeah guitar is beautiful I went to

Winter Wonderland in uh cream is it

Green Park Hyde Park Hyde Park yeah yeah

the one of the days after I returned it

was almost mates and I went to get a

beer at the at the tent inside the

Bavarian Village really nice place full

of fans full of football fans like you

could tell the atmosphere is like

they've got the Abba Tribute then yeah

yeah the whole time the guy that looks

like Mark goldbridge on there yeah he's

crying get a picture up for the ones

watching uh anyway so I was there and

and we're about to where I was about to

order my drinks and some some two guys

come over and they're like oh you're

you're a bell and you're a bell end I'm

like what

because this is post World Cup so a lot

of people would see me on Twitter or

whatever and I I said to him how can you

call me a bell and if you don't know me

you've never spoken to me in your life I

was like why why am I a bellend and

they're like Oh no you're a bell and

you're Rebellion at the time I actually

got recognized by some some some people

that know the channel and they were like

they just ignore a mate just get on with

your day and that was nice to hear

because the amount of times I see on

Twitter where they call your belly in

real life people have a go at you but

they don't know you they've never met

you they never had a beer with you in

the pub they've never done anything to

understand what you're really like

they've just seen you on a script and

forget that he's probably he's probably

see he's operating he's refresh Twitter

he said Simon round trees

someone's opinion off Twitter I I don't

understand how people can judge you

without meeting you that that to me is

that's the world that that [ __ ] will

never change by the way that will never

never change but will never change but

but

look going up to someone and saying that

it's just like the weirdest thing ever

actually he's probably bagged out of his

mind and also like waved right now I

think that that sort of behavior to me

but I actually think that you have to be

able to judge people without meeting

them yeah let me cook let me cook

I'm gonna be able to judge people that

you haven't met that is totally fine

it's very different though I can think I

can watch someone and go oh like I've

said it loads of times before I went on

a tick tock couple rant yeah I think

Tick-Tock couples are [ __ ] [ __ ] and I

think that most of their stuff is fake

as [ __ ] that does not mean I am gonna go

up to someone and say your thing [ __ ]

because there's plenty of people that

enjoy it because trust me I read the

comments I see that the idiots in the

comments back in it so that's fine yeah

and you do things and I am the biggest

fan of people collecting a bag you are

collecting your bag I just think the

videos you make suck ass and that's okay

for me without having to be different

that's different though you don't think

they're balanced I do oh I think the

worst in Balance roll I think they're

insufferable but how though you don't

know them this is what I'm saying I've

watched the video the videos are inside

they make bad content but them as a

person I wouldn't sit there and go yeah

they're Burns because I actually just

don't know them well but the content is

shots why they could think their content

is whack it can be [ __ ] and I could

think I can sit there and go this

content is the worst you make bad

content but I can't say you as a person

okay okay so let me rephrase it then

you act like a total bellend in your

content oh that that's fair is that all

right yeah because because if they did

they did that's the problem so I was I

was seeing the timeline during the World

Cup and I was seeing like people call me

a bell and and during the content so I'm

thinking I'm there constantly thinking

how do I need to change myself to make

people think I'm not Valen there's

nothing you don't do that there's

nothing you can do in fact what I'm

doing is being myself going to a game

reacting to football how what am I meant

to do this is it this is the key

indicator right if you know like you're

on to win it right if your views and and

you're just in general things are going

up you're seeing green arrows right and

along with green arrows you are also

seeing more people calling your bell and

then that means you are doing exactly

everything perfect because naturally as

you get bigger as you reach a new

audience you're also reaching new people

that don't want to watch us yeah no so

naturally that's going to bring people

in now if everything was staying the

same and then you were getting a bunch

of stick for it then it's like okay

there might be something going along

here where it's not level out but if

you're growing it's natural to have new

people that that's fine they're Expo

finally being exposed to your content

that aren't going to like you and look

there's a bunch of people that are vocal

about it and that's totally fine yeah I

think it's [ __ ] weird for people to

actually come up to you and say it I

know because without a reason as well

you just yeah why and it's like look if

if I see someone on the street and I go

oh their latest movie was trash I'm not

going to go up to them and say your

latest movie was trash because who

[ __ ] cares there's no there's nothing

constructive in that if I went up to you

and I said I don't like the way that you

constantly stick cameras in front of a

Fan's face I don't know just some

[ __ ] right then that then that's

then you can say oh okay I I appreciate

that look it's up for everyone I'll take

that into account and then you just

separate that way there's no

constructive criticism yeah it's just a

one-way it's your opinion one right yeah

yeah so I think that's weird

um can I ask you something um yeah do

you find British football fans are the

worst giving stick in grounds because I

always feel like the main people I see

attacking you are like season ticket

holders and match going fans like proper

fans 100 do you think that's the case oh

yeah when you're abroad you get no stick

it feels like people that do my my job

in Germany there's a guy called visca

bar so he's literally got the same

concept as me goes to matches gives

gives his thoughts of his day has over a

million subscribers people love him in

Germany okay Ultras no they don't want

too much of like they want their face on

camera but he he gives them a platform

for the world to see what their Ultras

are like that's the same with me if I go

to a Leeds game and I show people how

good the leads atmosphere is I'm showing

hundreds of thousand people that don't

know from inside the stadium so I'm

doing a lot for them and then in return

they just constantly say oh why is he

there why does he have a ticket well

actually you're allowing loads of new

people to potentially even become a

leads fan from abroad from wherever so I

think people don't look at the full

picture if I say it on Twitter I'll just

get Ratio or some [ __ ]

you've been through this a lot I can

tell them

the fact that you still have a Twitter

account is Testament to you yeah I gave

up on Twitter I hope that I hope after

you've spoken about it on here like more

in depth that people will understand the

situation a bit more I'd like I'd love

that would be nice it'll never happen

because it's the internet yeah it is the

internet but I feel some people may get

to hear my opinion because I don't like

to give it helps a little bit yeah I

just like to go on with the content and

it's great and I've got the perfect job

like people are right I get to go to

football and I get to go to the Qatar

World Cup and it you know the tickets

are paid for and that's an amazing thing

but there is negative science and people

don't see that I said the one thing

about that whole thing about getting

paid to go to the game that I never

understood right is that I know that if

the same person that was slander in yeah

let me just I will say this if you have

slanted fogden and they came to you and

they said we want you to go to every

single game of the World Cup we're gonna

fly you out there everything all done

that person is accepting that deal yeah

just so you know yeah there isn't a

single person in the world

maybe somebody that's against uh the

human rights stuff they might say no

Greta thundberg that's about it she has

to recycle there not even friends write

to me before the tournament saying I'm

gonna boycott it because of the human

rights and then on their stories two

weeks later they're showing the

Argentina Netherlands yeah I mean

they're watching the TV yeah you're

still watching watching it so I don't

know I I definitely think there is it

there is a big thing where it's you know

put yourself like once once if they get

offered a similar thing it's not like

that it's like look okay but it goes for

loads of things it's like okay you want

to you want to go to the dots for

example Ethan okay someone asks you even

Ethan isn't going there it's thinking

I'm a celebrity I deserve to be on that

say that's not how these things work

what happens is they'll approach you and

say would you like to go on it and you

say uh he's not thinking they're like oh

I hope [ __ ] Darren from Gloucester he

won't know me I can't go on this he

won't know me can I just work like that
