Based on true events.
-
You know those nightmare situations where you go
-
“Oh my god, imagine if that happened,” and then, it actually does.
-
So I make videos about Japan on YouTube and I recently had a video that had some viral success.
-
There’s a popular spread in the UK called Marmite and it’s famous for people either loving it or hating it,
-
due to its strong acquired taste.
-
It looks like brown pva glue and tastes like liquid salt….appealing then.
-
But I decided it would be quite interesting to see how some Japanese friends would react to it.
-
So I gave them bread with some marmite on and their reactions certainly didn’t disappoint.
-
Sweet! Chocolate!
-
And when I woke up the next day, the video had featured everywhere from the Daily Mail website, to Reddit.
-
And it was pretty surreal.
-
But the interview I was most excited about was doing a phone interview on the BBC News 24 channel
-
which is a channel watched by millions around the world everyday.
-
And it just so happened that on that night I was volunteering at an Eikaiwa
-
- an English conversation class.
-
So I planned to go in and teach the class, leave halfway and do the phone interview
-
and then come back in and finish teaching.
-
I knew it would take 10 minutes or so, so I told everyone to watch the BBC News 24 channel at 7.30.
-
And this an expression which you can use everyday….so…
-
Takeshi you don’t have to write this down mate.
-
So I want you to make one example sentence using this phrase “It was like magic”
-
and I’ll be back in about 10 minutes.
-
So one sentence. 10 minutes.
-
So 7:15, I left the class
-
and went outside to this fairly grim carpark behind the building
-
and a few minutes later I got the phone call from the BBC.
-
And the guy told me he could hear me loud and clear,
-
we were good to go and that we would be going live in 5 minutes.
-
Very good.
-
Now if you could just turn on your camera please.
-
I thought it was just a phone interview - I didn’t know they wanted video on there as well.
-
All the rooms in the community centre were full and the only available room was a shitty kitchen with no chairs.
-
So I propped the phone up on a nearby toaster and sat on this kitchen floor,
-
trying to sit in a way that makes it look like I’m not sat on a kitchen floor.
-
So at this point I was fairly panicked, I knew with the phone using video conference mode,
-
best case I’d get through the interview just about, worst case it would cut out mid way.
-
Guys has anybody got a phone charger?
-
A phone charger? Phone charger.
-
You have a phone charger!?
-
Literally one minute before the interview was going to go live,
-
to my horror the phone had dropped to just 10 percent.
-
And then, the worst WORST case scenario happened.
-
And now we bring you an obscure YouTuber who’ll have his chance at fame and fortune.
-
Chris are you there?
-
Hello…Chris….
-
It seems we’ve lost him.
-
I’m sorry it seems we’ve experienced some technical difficulties.
-
I guess fame and fortune is not for everybody.
-
Instead why don't you enjoy these glorious cat videos.
-
Unbelievable. The phone died, along with my hopes of having free publicity in front of millions of people.
-
So I walked back into the room, slumped into a chair in front of everyone and just ate some nuts in silence.
-
Read me your examples.
-
- The rich man became a poor man. It was like magic..
-
The moral is, don’t dream….
-
Never dream.
