  • - Hi, we are Joel and lia.

  • - And welcome back to an unnamed thing on our series

  • which we're kind of calling ask yourself,

  • but we don't know really what to call it yet.

  • - Yeah, so if you have any ideas

  • what we can call this series,

  • obviously like some series speak for themselves,

  • but the questions for series or you know--

  • - Yeah, brits react to.

  • - Or slang, but what's this?

  • - But this is kind of a thing where we

  • ask ourselves questions that prompt us to

  • think more about our morals,

  • think about our opinions about stuff and voice them

  • and often the best story

  • or the best thing that comes up in the video

  • is used as the title.

  • So maybe you guys can help title this series.

  • - Life questions, ask yourself

  • like what could it be?

  • - Would you rather,

  • but not really would rather, would it?

  • - Yes, or would you rather?

  • We'll find things.

  • - We'll find a title.

  • But yeah, we're still testing this format.

  • So we hope you're enjoying it so far.

  • On to the first question.

  • - So if you watched the second episode,

  • you'll have seen that we ended with this question,

  • but we didn't answer it.

  • So remind us what it was.

  • - Which sex do you think had it easier in our culture?

  • Have you ever wished you were of the opposite sex?

  • I'm interested to see what you were thinking of Joel.

  • 'Cause I would be interested to see if you think

  • females have had it easier.

  • Depends what you're going for, doesn't it.

  • - But what's it mean in this?

  • Because it's changed a lot even in my lifetime.

  • I think women are now being a lot more

  • respected than they were back in the day.

  • Like even when I was born or when I was younger.

  • - It's still not quite equal, or is it?

  • - No, it's not.

  • I don't really think men have been treated

  • more fairer throughout the centuries.

  • I still think they probably are treated better now

  • than women are.

  • But I still think men are treated really badly

  • like, it is getting worse for men at the same time.

  • - In other ways.

  • - In other ways, so like before it used to

  • women just used to be the ones

  • that felt bad about their bodies

  • because they'd see Photoshop models in bikinis.

  • But now guys have that all the time.

  • The amount of guys that are like with six packs

  • and they're ripped and like,

  • I feel the pressure that I need to be hairless,

  • I need to have a hairless torso,

  • really muscular, really strong.

  • Like in the exact same way that you feel the need

  • to have like a perfect hourglass body, hairless as well

  • and like, do you know what I mean?

  • - Yeah, when it comes to like body

  • or like the way you know,

  • the way that the media wants you to look

  • or tells you that you should look.

  • And then there's also just like in the world of jobs

  • you've got like men

  • being favored for certain jobs, you know.

  • Are women less employable because

  • one day they're gonna have a child

  • and that they might cost that company

  • X amount of money because they're like, you know,

  • some might see that as like a weaker gender almost

  • because they take time out of their--

  • - Yeah, it's bad.

  • - Even though you know,

  • you shouldn't really see pregnancy as an illness.

  • But like, there's so many things.

  • - And women are even paid less.

  • - Have we got it easier?

  • Yeah of course, that's the biggest one.

  • The pay gap, and the gender pay gap.

  • but I don't know.

  • Have I ever wished I was of the opposite sex?

  • I think when it comes to like my menstrual cycle,

  • I wished I was a man,

  • so I wouldn't have to deal with this.

  • And also because emotionally,

  • females like you know, different hormones isn't it?

  • And it's like my sort of month is like oh.

  • Whereas perhaps like males just sort of have like one level

  • often.

  • I know that's not for everyone,

  • but just in my own personal experience of like,

  • emotionally, yeah, I have wished that I was a man.

  • Lia wishes she was a man.

  • - That's the title of this video?

  • - Why I wish I was a man?

  • - Yeah.

  • - I just think life could be a bit simpler, a bit easier.

  • But you know what?

  • Embrace being a woman.

  • - Yeah, exactly.

  • The only times I've wished being a woman

  • is just in the way that you would be--

  • I'd like to experience it, to know what it's like.

  • - Oh yeah, just be like,

  • what's it like to be a woman today?

  • - To like be oh, I've got boobs.

  • - Oh, what's that?

  • - But no, but also I think another bad thing,

  • I do think women have it worse than men by the way but,

  • another thing that's bad for men is that like

  • you can't really show emotion.

  • Like women can display any emotion.

  • Yeah they might get called out on it

  • be like, you're dramatic or you're this

  • which is not right either.

  • But equally men,

  • like the amount of suicide in young men is so high.

  • - Yeah, it's huge.

  • - Because we're taught we're not allowed to cry

  • we've got to be big strong men.

  • And even on this channel,

  • like the amount of people that like,

  • "Joel's not a real man.

  • "He said like this or that."

  • And I'm like, you're stupid.

  • - Yeah, like the definitions of what it means to be a man

  • and not being able to

  • be emotional.

  • No wonder male suicide is so much higher

  • than female suicide because

  • there's all that pressure to be a man.

  • - Yeah, exactly.

  • - Really hard.

  • - Just those phrases I hate,

  • like man up or like

  • oh, you're being such a girl about it and things like that.

  • That's not good for men or women to hear.

  • - It's not is it.

  • There was a company that did a campaign like

  • like a girl.

  • And there was like showing girls doing stuff.

  • But it was like why should we be saying

  • oh you kick that, like a ball.

  • - Like a girl, yeah.

  • - But then all the girls are doing it really well.

  • - Yeah, they're doing it well.

  • And I think that's what lots of people might view that

  • as being like oh, it's so liberal like PC.

  • But I think I'm not offended if people say, "Man up."

  • But I just think it perpetuates not a good--

  • - Of what a man is.

  • - Well, what a man is or what a women is as well.

  • 'Cause women are far stronger than men

  • in so many different ways.

  • - Like pregnancy.

  • - Yeah, exactly.

  • - And in other ways, yeah.

  • - But anyway, yeah so that's that.

  • - We always get really deep in these.

  • - I know, I love it.

  • You want me to read one too?

  • - Yeah, go on then.

  • 'Cause it's too long anyway for me to read.

  • 'Cause I'm a woman.

  • (laughter)

  • Joke, that's far to long.

  • - Man up. - Man up Lia.

  • - Oh my gosh, this is so good.

  • It's so dark, this is like Black Mirror.

  • So you're given the power to kill people

  • simply by thinking of that deaths

  • and twice repeating the word goodbye.

  • So basically like going, "Goodbye, goodbye."

  • People would die a natural death--

  • - I love the example.

  • - And no one would suspect you.

  • Are there any situations in which you would use this power?

  • So basically I could walk down the street,

  • see someone I don't like,

  • think about them dying and go, "Goodbye, goodbye."

  • They'll die a natural death.

  • No, I won't be implicated at all.

  • They've have a natural death, would I do it?

  • Would you do it?

  • - I'm about to break the rules of this.

  • Well if you're saying bye to each other like,

  • goodbye, goodbye. - Goodbye, goodbye.

  • But you're not thinking of them dying.

  • - You have to be going, I want you to die.

  • Goodbye, goodbye.

  • - I don't think that's the point

  • about accidentally killing people.

  • - I think the point is.

  • - I think it's mostly the moral

  • of whether you would kill someone

  • and get away with it.

  • - The point is, basically the question is, yeah.

  • Would I kill people if I could get away with killing them?

  • No, I wouldn't.

  • There's no one I wanna kill that much.

  • Well, there's a few.

  • There's a few people on the not nice list,

  • but I'm gonna kill them.

  • It's like when you say to people like,

  • would you rather this person died immediately

  • or be in jail?

  • If someone did something horrible to you and your family,

  • would you not want them to like--

  • - Suffer. - Suffer,

  • but then it's like the tax man is,

  • we're all paying for that person to suffer?

  • - I know, I don't know.

  • - I don't know what the answer is to that.

  • - But you know what the answer to this one,

  • I think I'd probably would.

  • I'd like to think I wouldn't.

  • But the amount of times where if you just get really angry

  • or see someone on TV,

  • not necessarily someone you know.

  • But like someone like a politician or a celebrity

  • or someone that you really don't like.

  • You don't like what they stand for,

  • you don't know what they say.

  • I definitely wish politicians dead before,

  • which is terrible.

  • But I reckon I would use that power if I could.

  • I think I would.

  • I don't think I'd use it regularly.

  • I wouldn't go around going, goodbye, goodbye.

  • - Yeah.

  • Imagine how you'd feel after the first one

  • knowing you've killed them.

  • That's nuts.

  • - It's crazy.

  • - Someone's dead, and you're like I did that.

  • - I did that.

  • - And everyone's like, "How did they die?"

  • - Yeah, but what if they're a horrible person?

  • What if they're, like, extremely like racist

  • and really mean and just really just an evil person?

  • What if they're a murderer?

  • What if they're criminals that's in jail

  • that you do wish was dead?

  • - It's tough.

  • I still don't know if we should have the--

  • - I know.

  • - You or I should have the power to take that.

  • It's tough, isn't it.

  • - I could see my mom watching this be like,

  • "Joel no.

  • "We don't get to decide when people die."

  • - I don't know.

  • - I'm just being honest.

  • I feel like I would at some stage--

  • - Use that power. - Be tempted to use it.

  • But I'd like to say no I wouldn't.

  • - Who would are you die?

  • - Okay example.

  • You know when you see on the news

  • where a CCTV, someone's been caught on CCTV

  • kicking a dog in the face

  • or like literally cutting open an animal

  • when they're still alive or something like that,

  • that's what it boils my blood.

  • And I would definitely, definitely kill them

  • if I could.

  • - Yeah, you'd go, "Goodbye, goodbye."

  • And they need to die.

  • - Yeah, so I'm like, we don't want you on this earth.

  • Goodbye, goodbye.

  • - That's good actually.

  • When you see people that going around and they've shot it

  • and they've got a picture of it

  • and like, look at what animal I've killed.

  • - Like, look I've killed a giraffe.

  • - And that animal is like nearly extinct,

  • it's nuts.

  • - Like poachers shooting rhinos

  • to try and take their tusks like, goodbye, goodbye

  • you're dead.

  • - Goodbye, goodbye. - Goodbye, goodbye.

  • I definitely-- - Thank you, next.

  • - Yeah, I'd definitely use it.

  • But I'd use it responsibly.

  • - Yeah, you'd kill responsibly.

  • - Kill, murder responsibly.

  • - Murder responsibly, okay.

  • Is it my turn to read it out?

  • - Yeah.

  • - Okay, if you were able to live to the age of 90

  • and retain either the body or the mind of a 30 year old

  • for the last 60 years of your life,

  • which would you want?

  • So would you choose,

  • so you're gonna get to 90 doll?

  • I'm the genie, I've got the lamp.

  • Do you want the body of a 30 year old

  • or the mind of a 30 year old?

  • - I think the body but not because of superficial reasons.

  • Like I want to have a nice body forever.

  • - Mine's superficial. - Because of the health.

  • Is yours superficial?

  • - And health.

  • - And health.

  • - I'm still stroking my genie.

  • - Is that a cat or a lamp.

  • - It's a cat lamp.

  • - A cat lamp.

  • I think health is so important.

  • And you see like 80 or 90 year olds

  • like hobbling down the street and I'm like,

  • it must be feeling really weird.

  • Because their mind probably hasn't deteriorated that much.

  • - Oh it has.

  • - Do you think? - Oh yeah,

  • they do laddy while they age.

  • - Maybe, but I just think that would feel just horrible

  • and I would like to like be do lally

  • but be like healthy and happy.

  • Like if you want to go for a run.

  • - Yeah, body for image reasons and health reasons.

  • I don't want to be in pain.

  • But at the same time,

  • I'd like to still be able to look at myself at 90

  • and be like, yeah.

  • I'm feeling myself.

  • But not feeling myself, I hate that.

  • - I'm feeling myself. - I'm feeling myself.

  • Not feeling myself.

  • Hopefully no one's feeling me at that age.

  • No, everyone deserves to be loved.

  • - Oh, Lia.

  • - I just constantly throw my foot in.

  • (laughs)

  • - But I think it's quite nice about your mind

  • not deteriorating, that's not the right word

  • but like becoming a bit simpler

  • and just enjoying the simpler things in life.

  • Imagine not worrying about what

  • the other people think of you.

  • Or not worrying about--

  • - That will happen by like 40 for us.

  • - But I'd rather be fit and just enjoy doing a crossword

  • on the sofa every day.

  • Then like just still have the mind of a 30 year old

  • but being an old and lolly.

  • - Yeah, that would be so weird, next.

  • - Okay so the next one is

  • what would you constitute a perfect evening for you?

  • - So difficult when your life's so perfect.

  • (laughs)

  • - It's so difficult when you're Lia Hatzaki.

  • - It's so tough.

  • Obviously that's a joke.

  • (laughs)

  • The perfect evening for me,

  • would be come back from work,

  • just kidding my works at home.

  • I can't, I can't.

  • - You're so bad.

  • - Right, so finished work for the day,

  • just finished editing a video

  • or doing whatever.

  • We're filming one film set, LOL.

  • We're on film set, we just finished filming

  • and then what's the perfect evening?

  • - You've literally said about 100 words

  • without saying anything.

  • (laughter)

  • See the pressure to say what the perfect evening is

  • is too much.

  • - Yes I don't know what the perfect evening is.

  • - What's the perfect evening?

  • - Basically I was like oh, thinking I'll come home

  • husband cooked a lovely meal,

  • the children will be in bed.

  • I'm thinking far ahead.

  • - You're thinking very far ahead.

  • What about the perfect evening now?

  • - Right now.

  • A massage after work.

  • You know, basically just feel really relaxed and pampered

  • and maybe a little pedicure or manicure.

  • That's taking too much of the evening up.

  • Basically just me on the sofa.

  • - Just being pampered.

  • - With cucumber on my eyes.

  • With Prosecco both hands.

  • - Yeah, Prosecco.

  • - Basically just sitting here, not here.

  • That was so snobish.

  • Basically sitting in a really comfy Airbnb.

  • Link in description.

  • - Prosecco and cheese.

  • - Prosecco, cheese board, grapes.

  • Cucumbers on my eyes.

  • And the sound of the sea.

  • Maybe a holiday actually.

  • Why would I be in England?

  • - Maybe like friends as well,

  • but no friends that I currently have.

  • Just like the perfect friends

  • that one day I'll have.

  • People that don't annoy me.

  • - So being surrounded by people

  • that are not yet in my life.

  • - They are my friends in my imagination

  • but they're not my actual friends

  • 'cause they don't exist.

  • - And they don't speak.

  • - Or they do speak but they laugh at my jokes.

  • They just shut up when I want them to shut up, shut up.

  • - You have like conversations with them

  • and like they don't say anything.

  • - Yeah, until I want them to say something.

  • - But you respond as if they have said something.

  • So you're like, "Do I look fat in this?"

  • And they don't say anything and you're like,

  • "Yeah I do, yeah, you're right change it."

  • - Or they can say a compliment.

  • So when I allow them to speak,

  • they're just like, "You look great."

  • And I'm like, "Thanks, shut up, what about you?"

  • - Guys take everything with a pinch of salt.

  • - This is all joke.

  • It's gonna trigger so many people.

  • - This is what we do.

  • We just make stuff up and joke about it.

  • But as you can see,

  • we don't know what the perfect evening is.

  • - No, I'd struggle with that because

  • I get bored if I have too many

  • of the same evening in a row.

  • Some evenings I love working into the night.

  • I just love like editing, work,

  • writing, doing whatever.

  • And then some evenings I love just doing absolutely nothing.

  • Some evenings I'm locking myself away in my room.

  • And there's evenings I like to be sociable.

  • - Yeah, sit on the sofa and watch Love Island.

  • Prosecco.

  • - Yeah, a dog.

  • - Sometimes I love filming Joel and Lia videos

  • all evening.

  • - Yeah, which is currently--

  • - Where's your FitBit Joel?

  • - It's on the table.

  • It's six PM, so this is currently our evening.

  • we're staying in the same place.

  • - That's us. - Perfect evening.
