what's up guys lon here from Android authority and I'm coming to you live from CES 2016 and I'm with a group of a bunch of very young guys but they're all very talented very knowledgeable and they know a lot about the tech space so we thought we'd have them all here on the show and since there's so many of them here I figured maybe we just have them all introduce themselves individually and then we'll sort of just have a little conversation and talk a little bit about CES and how they all got started so let's start over here with you miles all right hi I'm miles Somerville I've been making youtube videos for about a little over a year now and it's really cool to meet all these guys here at Android Authority and all these guys finally meeting them in person for the first time so yeah that's basically it you can check out my channel miles Somerville my name is Paul Bradford I have a youtube channel called Pole and tech pretty simple thanks for having this on guys my name is Anton I have a YouTube channel called ants on a log and yeah it's been cool to meet all the people behind the scenes at Android Authority oh hey guys ty here and uh I also do a YouTube channel tied Fujiyama everywhere Instagram social Twitter and all that like Fukuyama and it's great to have it's good to be here hi guys my name is Kevin Ramsey and you can find me everywhere using that name is Kevin Rios basically everywhere hey guys my name is Victor also known as everything technology my chose focus on consumer electronics and you can find me on Twitter Instagram everywhere at everything Tech five hi I'm Eric people also know me as blabber head you can just search up Eric Anthony and I'm there first thing I want to ask you guys is how did you like what made you guys get started like making YouTube videos what inspired you to want to talk about tech because you're all so young and you know YouTube is just there's so many different generations of YouTube youtubers out there what made you guys want to get started and how did you all like sort of meet did you all know each other outside of YouTube before that or did you all meet through YouTube yeah I met through YouTube basically I started making tech videos simply because I just like taking my dad you know he's a big nerd too so he had he had a large influence on me so I started making videos around December of last year and we all found each other's channels and they went on from there yeah so I actually had a really old channel when I was like 9 years old and I made a video about the top 5 Android games and it actually got over 200,000 views but got a lot of hate I was really young only nine years old didn't do a very good job so I have that unlisted now but I remembered how fun it was to make that video so I started up a new channel about two years ago called Poland Tech and I've been making videos ever since I'm really glad I got to meet all these people through my youtube channel and it's been a lot of fun my my youtube basically started my dad brought home the Nexus 7 one and I fled with it for a while and I was like dude this is so cool and then I just started making like unboxings I thought I was really cool on YouTube I was following a bunch of people and just started trying on my own and then that's how my youtube channel came along so yeah I've always been like tech guy and my family if there wasn't computer problems like rental cars I'll be the one that I'll be the go-to guy and also I was thinking I'm starting our YouTube channel but at first I always thought that you need bunch of new equipments like like DSLRs and all that but then I saw Danny Wiggy he did like all his old videos were like taking on a smartphone and they were really great so I was like I realized that you don't need good equipment to make good content and that's why I started so I initially started my channel when I was 13 and kind of the incentive to do that was when all my school friends were asking me like what do you think about this tech and this this item I initially started to realize that like a lot of people have the same questions and in my school a lot of my friends were asking me like you like this tech item and I just decided to like going out and buy and return it and just make a review and post it online and I found a lot of the same people that had the same interests at first when I used one of my parents used to get a lot of different types of electronics I just like you know just check him out look up I'm a whole bunch of how-to videos and reviews and then I was like why don't I start one day so it first developed into a hobby then it became a passion and ever since I've been doing YouTube for two years so unlike a lot of other people who like grew up with tech in their house for a long time I didn't have internet in my house until I was 10 but until then like I saw my friends with you know their fancy new Blackberry or whatever and I was just so excited by it so I did everything in my power to convince my parents to let me buy something so I ended up like researching the Samsung Galaxy player and all this stuff I ended up writing essays so like from the beginning I love just like researching and learning about tech just so that I could get it yeah all right so the next question I'm gonna keep it real simple because I know the audience is probably curious what what phone are you guys currently using and why alright yes next is next interview Nexus 5x Nexus 6p Nexus 6p Nexus 6 feet and I was originally gonna buy the 5x but then the the no I was gonna buy the 6p but then the 5x went on sale for 300 so I just picked it up and I've been happy with it ever since but I did get a 6p si yes I just haven't opened it yet for me I had a Moto X 2013 I was sick one night I came back to my room after I spent the night downstairs my brother had taken my phone and threw it in the toilet two lakes two weeks later I got the Moto X 2014 I was sick one night I came back up to my room I woke up and the phone disappeared so I got on my hands and knees begged Alcatel for a unit and that was history for me I was I've been always using Nexus phones for a couple of years now I've been rocking with v for like the past month and a half so yeah I just picked this up yesterday wow it was so kind enough to send these out so shout out to them yeah I really think the 6p and I think we can all agree on this it's one of those fun it's one of the first phones I think that really doesn't have any major drawbacks it's just a really well-rounded device so it's a good daily driver yeah I agree with all of you guys that mean basically the same thing it's an all-around good phone it doesn't have a lot of fun negative feedback or anything like that so yeah you've all been here at CES for like several days now so there and there's a ton of stuff to see I'm pretty sure you guys have had a chance to sort of cruise around through all the different halls and and boots and stuff like that like what is one of the coolest things that you have seen so far at the show here for me is a lot of the stuff they were showing at the Intel booth there are really a lot of really cool gaming tech well one of the coolest things I saw from a small company not one of the big guys like Samsung or something this one little booth had a giant NES controller probably about the size of half a table it's pretty cool and I got to play Mario on it so that was pretty awesome so my favorite is probably the Samsung booth they had a giant clear like OLED display it was clear transparent and it was probably there and they said that was their first OLED like clear display and it was pretty awesome my favorite was the HTC vive and I actually got to try it out with the controllers and the tracking is really good like I would pick up the controllers and I would see guns on my headset and if I moved it around it would track exactly how the gun would move and I thought that was really cool and I got she was on me and so that's plus so my parrot booth at CES was definitely the Razr booth we saw the new blade stealth the core and like I always like the the whole like idea of having a really thin in light like ultrabook like the MacBook but like when you want to go home and like edit video and game I never really found the MacBook appealing but razors really kicking in some innovation and making the core like a desktop docking station for your laptop so that like I'm gonna check that up for sure later this year my favorite booth was an LG booth they showed off their on their new TV it's like extremely thin it's actually the size of four credit cards and it's in the college was extremely good so I liked the new blink board from a company called Acton they made something called the Rockets case which are essentially Healy's on steroids with motors so this year they have an electric skateboard and it's the smallest and lightest electric skateboard out there I definitely couldn't write it and I may or may not have wrecked a bit of their booth but it's an awesome product and I'm excited to check it out this year being as young as you guys are and being at like a show like this is this sort of like a dream come true for you guys and like how supportive are like their parents with doing all this stuff like sort of checking out tech and doing YouTube sort of as like not necessarily a job per se but as your passion yeah for me I'm really I'm really glad to have made it this year honestly I mean looking back at around January of last year I honestly didn't expect to have gone this far in such a little time or at least it seems like it hasn't been that much about long and time at all and my parents are really supportive my dad is putting a lot of work to make this trip happen for me and him and he we've been enjoying ourselves so far yes so it's kind of weird for the past few years watching all the videos from the big guys like mkbhd Austin Evans watching their videos here at CES and so yeah it's kind of weird to finally be here for myself see some of these guys in person it's been a lot of fun and yeah it's interesting my parents were kind of actually fighting over which one got to go they wanted to pretty much get a little vacation in so my dad won that fight I guess I wanted to go to sea yes since like two years ago when I just started doing my YouTube channel and now it's finally like a dream come true I got to see all the big youtubers I guess see all the cool products meet all the cool companies and yeah it's just I've been having a really fun time here and Zoop and true and my parents have been really supportive taking me dropping me off helping me get tickets and everything so yeah shout out to my parents this is actually my second time going last year I was by myself it was really fun but it's just that with with my girlfriends now it's much more cooler it's a much better experience and my parents were pretty support about it sponsorships having me support the ships oh yeah I think all of our parents were really supportive in this and they really understand that like this meant a lot to us to like get together we all kind of met up online as a group of friends on YouTube just checking each other's videos out and that kind of led to us talking on different social media platforms and to actually like meet each other on or in in real life in a text show it's just a really cool thing and I've wanted to go for like two or three years now so it really was a dream come true my parents have been extremely supportive since day one since the very first video I started I'm very um they actually paid for most of my trip to get here as well as my sponsors which was really awesome and just see us as an experience has opened up so many opportunities such as this one well I've known these guys I met Victor and Tyga in July of 2014 I've known these guys for a long time I talked to them almost every day you know on Google Hangouts and stuff and so when the opportunity came to us that we we could meet up that we could you know meet up and go to like one of the coolest places you could possibly go if you're a tech youtuber I mean like the second that I was approved as press my parents were like all right let's go cuz they knew how much it meant last year was actually my first CES ever and that was a dream come true for me as well and so what advice you guys have for other aspiring youtubers that want to be here that want to come to this show just as sort of like a final final wrap-up question what do you what can you tell other people that want to do this and what they can do to sort of get themselves in this position and and be here at the show I'd say definitely have a network it's always like like Tyga said it's always great to have like a group of friends around you because we've also brought a lot of opportunities upon each other that we wouldn't have had if we weren't together so definitely have a network and I say definitely strive to go as press if you're looking you know to get in touch with companies because I don't really help yeah kinda what miles said it really helps to have connections on YouTube trying to make some friends it's a lot of fun yeah just make a lot of connections and it should help you get here I could say oh do your best and always try hard but I'm just gonna say that if you just just make your videos if you don't like them then don't upload them only do the ones that you're really proud of and then eventually people will find you if it's really good you'll grow big and then you can finally make your dreams come true and go to CES me just for YouTube you need to start now or you don't start at all because YouTube is getting saturated every single day there's new youtubers and new youtubers it's gonna be harder to get noticed you have to start now or never and try to make your video as if it was your last video you ever make I guess - the younger guys the younger audience watching this if you really want to get into CES and you're like going through like the whole parent issue because you obviously have to have an adult with you if you're under 18 I would explain it to your parents is kind of like this is an it's an experience for like you're gonna carry on throughout your life you're gonna meet people here that will be like potential business partners and it's it's an experience they will carry out throughout your entire life and that's what you have to kind of explain to them and hopefully they'll understand well if you're gonna tell it to your parents you you have to like play it smart and know what you're doing here and you can't make a fool out of yourself so you know it's just kind of a basic but play it smart for me I say find it if you don't know if you don't already have a tech community because you find a community who have like this same around of sub-base because that will truly help a lot because you guys could share information to help each other I would actually grow yeah and I just say um you know ask you I mean ask your parents I mean and just you know they'll probably support you the best all right so thank you guys for coming on this show and joining us this has been a lot of fun and you should check all these guys out they make really awesome content
