hello YouTubers well Grandad's had a
very interesting day today uh much uh
more interesting than usual because I
have a young journalist here from
Germany who uh is doing an article and
he wants to ask me some question
questions his name is l so what do you
want to know then L uh there's something
that I've always wanted to know when
when I watch your videos you always have
ET sitting in the background can see me
here um what's the story behind that oh
yes he's part of the family now um
well my daughter gave him to my
grandchild when really the grandchild
was far too old to want such a present
and it was very unsuitable and they
accepted it very graciously as a present
but of course they soon got fed up with
it because as you probably know when
it's got batteries in it talks to you
all the time and uh so I don't know some
years later uh I I said oh that's a
shame I said I love ET uh because I
remember when I was working with horses
and there were uh mostly young girls and
women in um working in the Staples uh we
often had little outings going to a
restaurant or something and one time
they suggested to go and see the film ET
you see well I thought it was absolutely
wonderful and I felt a complete fool
because it had me in tears and so
there's all these girls and women who
thought it was all rubbish and I was the
one in tears so so when the
grandchildren when the grandchildren got
this toy I said oh that's a shame I I
love I love ET so he said well you can
have it but you'll soon get fed up with
him he said they said but um I don't put
batteries in and let him talk too often
now but he has become part of um part of
my video
scenery um let's take this opportunity
also up to discuss things that you
usually don't talk about what are the
things that you try to
avoid well I don't like to do anything
that's uh controversial I mean we all
have opinions maybe about governments
and uh things like that but I don't
really like to get pass opinions about
politics or the other subject that one
always talks about is religion or sex
really um not that I don't know little
bits about all those subjects but I
don't feel qualified to pass my opinions
to other people about those subjects and
if people were ask would ask you
to your followers would ask you to to
discuss these kind of things because
that's what they you know they are
interested
in you you still feel you need to be
careful about that I think so yes I
think so I I think my role is uh as a um
as a Granddad figure really and that's
how I like to keep it and um um that's
what I do but a Granddad figure also
gives people advice gives gives his his
kids his his grandkids advice on certain
things well I'd be
very I'd be very loed to do that I
wouldn't like to give advice to anybody
I could pass opinions about maybe
grandkids Behavior or ideas that they've
got of their future lives and I could
pass opinions about it uh but if you
call that advice I suppose that is
advice but uh I don't think I'm
qualified to advise anybody else about
um their lives have you ever um censored
your own videos have you ever like
recorded a video and then you looked at
it later or you were like I can't to put
that
online no I don't think I have I could
do a lot more sort of censoring of my
videos because of all the mistakes I
make in them and the ums and ARs and
things like that but I think everybody
has their own Persona and their own
character and um I just let those things
go and that is that is me really you you
what you see is what you get you said
that you have tons of ideas still about
uh for things that you would like to
talk about um what are the main ideas
and and where do they come from and uh
what are you going to be talking about
next do you know already no I don't know
for certain because I might change my
mind every day but I I've got a few
stories about my escapades when I got
interested in in horses so let's hear it
well this video can't go on that long
because it's already gone on for 5es
minutes which is about 2 minutes over
the recommended time but we've talked
about lots of things today haven't we
and I'm sure you've got enough
information to to write an an article
and I look forward to seeing what you
have written and although it will be in
German um I mean I'm sure I can get
somebody to translate it so I trust you
to uh to uh be kind to
me promise well oh thank you anyway look
5 minutes 50 so that's far too long so
um we'll say goodbye now and uh I will
see you uh shortly and um I will
report uh what L has said about me so uh
goodbye
