Sidemen storm out when asked about Beta Squad RIVALRY | Capital Interview

Boys, give five reasons why the Beta Squad are better than the Sidemen. I should flip this table up here right now. It's the game that's had celebrities quaking in the boots. Emilia de Moldenberg chickening out, James Norton quaking, and Gary Barlow saying, this is my idea of a very nasty day out. It's a great Gary Barlow impression. Thank you very much. Toby and Ethan rules are simple, so we're going to ask you a series of questions. They get tougher and tougher. If there's a question neither of you want to answer, you both have to walk out the door. Okay. But then it means the interview's over. Okay. Let's get into it then. Ethan, would you rather this series got to number one on Netflix or West Ham get promoted this year? I'd rather this go number one because the massive hammers are going to do it anyway. Toby, which of the Sidemen would you least like to date your sister and why? Oh my goodness. He told you it's the hardest game. Do you know what? This man next to me, because he would describe the horrible things that you are. No one in there. No, no. It's you. No, it's not. You guys do videos with loads of massive names. Recently, you did one with Erling Haaland, but who is a massive name who's rejected working with you? Oh, oh, this is good. Gordon Ramsay said no to us. Yeah. Why? Did he say why? I just don't think he could fit it in, to be honest, but he still declined us, but I say I'm busy all the time as well. What was the idea with Gordon Ramsay? We wanted to do like a Hell's Kitchen remake and him call us idiot savages. Oh, that's fantastic. Because we're all useless in there. I love you. You just, you come up with ideas that we all have in the pub, except you go and do them the next day. Yeah, make it happen. Toby, can you give us another example, another person? Who's turned us down? I can't think. Harry Maguire. We nearly had Harry Maguire. That wasn't Harry Maguire. That was Manchester United who pulled us away from that one. So Manchester United turned us down. A whole organisation. There you go. All right, then. Question four. Has there ever been another creator who nearly joined the Sidemen but didn't? Oh, that's an easy one. No. I mean, if you're talking Inception. The Inception days, yeah. There could have been. There easily could have been. There was like, who was playing? Callux Calfreezy could have easily got in. Yeah, there was a couple of guys at the start, but. Yeah. Vic Starr got there first. And Jamie's the honorary eighth member. Seventh now. Okay. All right, boys. Remember, you can walk out the door if needs be. Give five reasons why the Beta Squad, Beta Squad for the poshos, are better than the Sidemen. Go. There is, you've called them Beta Squad, mate. So it's no contest. But in fact, I should flip this table up here right now. You can walk. You asked us to get us out. Is that what you've done? You don't want us here. Is that what you've done? You can walk, or you can give us five reasons why they are better than the Sidemen. I might be able to give you one. I can't give you five. Well, then. Oh. One more. That was cheap. Just turn around now. Because you're not welcome anymore. Go. Get out. Go. Give it up for the Sidemen, everybody. Guys, can you explain the planning process of all the mad things you do? Is it like, do you sit in a boardroom? Do you go for burgers and chips? Do you go for coffees or a WhatsApp group? Yes, it's an underground bunker. We all go in there in suits. It's changed over the years, man. Initially, there was kind of a lot of group input. Now we just kind of give it Josh. Josh is the mastermind. But back in the day, we'd all sort of take a rota sort of responsibility. So every Sunday would be someone else's responsibility. Still sort of people weigh in here and there if it suits their forte more. But Josh and Simon are really sort of the masterminds that go off our producers now as well. Why don't we do that? Just because we don't want to work on a Sunday. No. One Sunday, you just come up with all the ideas for one week and then I do it the week after. Yeah? Yeah. You want to commit to that? No. You got to hold people accountable as well. Yeah, that's true. What's that group chat called? Is it still just the Sidemen? Yeah, Sidemen. Yeah, that's right. We've got loads of different group chats. We've got Sidemen Sundays, Sidemen thumbnails, Sidemen everything. Sidemen management. There's a lot. What's that group chat list? Have any of them pinned at the top three? I got a couple pinned. I don't play around with anything like that. Do you not? I think the top three should be pinned. Should be your other half, your loved one, and then the two most important. I'm not letting my missus listen to that because she's going to pin me, pin me, pin me. That's a good point. I didn't even know you could do that. So you're saying other half, then what, the show? The show, and then for me it's the podcast. Yeah, you're only allowed three. Okay. Toby? You mute our group chat. Yeah, because he does. How dare you? Come on then, should we talk about this new show of yours? Yes, let's do it. So it's called Outside, which is sort of a spin on the show Inside that you guys do. We've just dropped 12 famous creators in the middle of nowhere. Far away from the comfortable lives they used to. Wait, where's the bed? It's like if I'm a celeb, Squid Game, and the Million Pound Drop had a baby. I like that. Yeah? Yeah, I like that. It's a good triplet to almost create something from. I would more go like Too Hot to Handle with the prize coming down. Yeah, there's loads of different aspects to it. We've sort of, yeah, just brainstormed loads of different things from game shows and put them all in one, but also added sort of our Sidemen challenge twist on it, which is one of the main things I think our audience really like is seeing other people, other creators, celebrities, whoever it may be, jump in and be in the Sidemen universe almost. Yes, that's quite cool. So just to describe it, the drop's in the middle of like a forest, right? Twelve creators dropped in a forest, and then the money element starts high. Yes, one million pounds is the prize fund. You've got to live across seven days with getting as much prize money by the end as possible. And they start with like the bare minimum to say, so they need to spend that money to kind of upgrade their facilities and whatnot. But this is the bit I love about it. So the idea with this is amazing because the luxury items in there obviously chip away at the prize overall, and then you see all these arguments happen because people are spending silly money on just things that would ordinarily be, you know, not that much money. Is it fair to say that it caused a lot of drama there? Oh, there was some drama. It always does, especially being outside. That's the main thing is like, because the weather can annoy you as well. Yeah, you might just be having a bad day and it's cold. You've not slept well. And then someone's got to spend five grand on a cushion. And now you're in an even worse mood. It's genius, this. And even right back in the day, I remember this. Do you remember with Gemma Collins when she was on Big Brother? And she did a similar thing that she bought. Did she put... Yeah, the juice. She bought, I swear it was a hairdryer and used up their whole food budget. It's kind of taking the same principles of that. But every day. Yeah. You can watch Toby and Ethan in Outside, the brand new show from The Sidemen on Netflix this Monday. Toby Brown and Ethan Payne!
