00:00Yep, I did it again.
00:02They shredded it!
00:03This Is Me stood at Wembley Stadium in front of 90,000 people,
00:07shredding a yellow card and breaking the internet.
00:11But how did I do it?
00:12This is custom.
00:13And why?
00:14Well, two years ago I pulled an Una Reverse at the charity football match.
00:18Una reversed it!
00:19And so when I heard the boys were hosting another one,
00:21this time at Wembley Stadium...
00:23It's Wembley, baby!
00:25I knew it was time for a sequel.
00:27Have you got something special lined up?
00:28This is the story of how I managed to sneak an electric shredder onto a football pitch
00:32and cause the internet to go crazy.
00:35In Maxforsch?
00:36But how did I come up with this idea in the first place?
00:38And how had it nearly gone so wrong?
00:40I'm not sure what happened there.
00:43This video has been sponsored by Shopify.
00:47So, right, the Simon charity match is in eight weeks' time.
00:50This year it is at Wembley Stadium,
00:52and I am hoping to do another sequel to my Una Reverse.
00:56Una reversed it!
00:57There is one big problem.
00:59I haven't been invited to play yet.
01:01I don't think anybody has been invited to play at this moment.
01:04That doesn't mean I can't start preparing just in case I do get asked,
01:07so I have decided I'm going to document the process of trying to come up with another idea.
01:13Because currently I've got nothing.
01:16I guess my first port of call is probably ask you guys.
01:18I jumped onto Instagram and asked away,
01:20but if I'm honest, I didn't get anything that really got me going.
01:24Una carved the size of the pitch?
01:26But that caused me to think a little bit more about destroying the referee's card.
01:30I think I need to destroy the card.
01:32I could throw a knife at the card.
01:34I could burn the card.
01:35I could get an eagle to fly down, collect the card,
01:38off Mark Clattenburg and fly out the stadium.
01:40I could throw acid at the card.
01:42I could burn the card.
01:43I could cut the card.
01:45Didn't Banksy do something with a shredder?
01:47I could shred the card.
01:49That could work.
01:51So my aim was to channel my inner Banksy
01:54and somehow smuggle a shredder onto the pitch.
01:57So first things first, I would need to buy some shredders.
02:01I bought the smallest shredders I could find on the internet.
02:03I need to now strap these onto my body.
02:11This exercise was a bit of a proof of concept,
02:13just to see if this idea had any legs.
02:15Got it.
02:18I guess the main question I have is,
02:20can you tell I'm wearing a shredder?
02:22Does this have batteries?
02:24Oh no.
02:25This needs to be connected from the mains.
02:27One sec.
02:29Oh, here we go.
02:30This is the stupidest thing.
02:31Imagine this, Sidemen charity match.
02:3390,000 people.
02:42It worked.
02:46The other one might be a bit better.
02:48This is a little bit less conspicuous and it's really heavy.
02:52This is just a proof of concept.
02:55This one's a bit better.
02:57Still quite obvious I'm wearing something underneath,
02:59but I could run a bit more.
03:05It works better.
03:06As you can imagine, I would need something a little more custom made.
03:09Having just tried these on upstairs,
03:10I've realised that I'm going to have to pay someone
03:13to make me a custom shredder and a custom bit of clothing
03:17that means I could hide the shredder on me whilst I'm playing football.
03:21I haven't even invited a player yet.
03:22Am I an idiot for spending potentially lots of money not to be invited to play?
03:28I don't know.
03:29I really don't know if I'm being an idiot or not.
03:31I probably was, but that didn't stop me from looking.
03:33Is anyone here an engineer?
03:35And after some calls, I got in contact with Chris,
03:38who'd be designing my shredder,
03:39and Stephanie, who'd be designing a custom vest for it to fit in.
03:43Both got to work on their respective projects and I waited nervously.
03:46Then a week later, the shredder arrived.
03:49Here they are.
03:50Shredder number one.
03:52We've got two shredders.
03:54But what's the size of it?
04:01Followed by the vest two days later.
04:03So it'll be sat in there.
04:05Yeah, this is great.
04:07I'm comfortable.
04:08Turn around, Max.
04:10Do some jumps with your back to the camera.
04:13I couldn't have been happier with the final products.
04:16I now just need to be invited to play.
04:18Oh, about that.
04:22Yes, yes.
04:23I thought the opportunity was gone.
04:26Why did you take so long to tell people?
04:30Thank God.
04:31With all the pieces together, I headed to my local park for one final test.
04:36You may not believe me, but I'm currently wearing the shredder.
04:42Let's go for a run.
04:43To make sure I didn't get any unwanted surprises on the big day.
04:47I'm not sure what happened there.
04:48I went zooming around the park to see if the shredder would fit snug in my new vest.
04:52And thankfully, I'll tell you what, this is working perfectly.
04:57It fits like a glove.
04:59I can't feel it.
05:00It's not moving around.
05:01Let's try sprinting.
05:02Even when I was moving faster than the speed of light, the shredder wouldn't budge.
05:06This is amazing.
05:07It bloody works.
05:08And then I'll get the yellow card.
05:11But would the shredder have a smooth exit?
05:14As smooth as butter.
05:16And as I was doing one last test, I suddenly came up with an extraordinary idea.
05:20I'll tell you what, I could easily start a business that sells
05:23concealed vests and shredders for charity football match.
05:26And if I was to start that business, I definitely would use Shopify.
05:29But what is Shopify?
05:30Well, let me tell you whilst I try and wriggle the shredder free from my vest.
05:34Shopify is a commerce platform that allows you to start, manage, and grow a business.
05:39Shopify reduces the complexity of starting a business,
05:41making commerce available for everyone.
05:43I've been using Shopify with my company,
05:45TheSillyCompany.co.uk that's powered by Shopify.
05:47One of the incredible reasons I use Shopify is because I'm allowed to sell
05:50across all major social media platforms.
05:52Google, Meta, you name it, you can sell on it.
05:54I'm going to be selling the shredders, the vest,
05:57from the game on my Shopify store, TheSillyCompany.co.uk.
06:00It allows you guys to have a little bit of the action yourself, but don't worry,
06:03any profits or anything I make from it will go straight to charity.
06:06Also, I haven't told you about Shopify Magic as well.
06:08Shopify Magic is literally the future of productivity.
06:10It's a suite of AI tools that can help you write better product descriptions,
06:14improve product images, and also elevate email effectiveness.
06:17So, if you want a bit of history from the Sidemen charity football match,
06:21go to my Shopify-powered store, TheSillyCompany.co.uk,
06:24and you can get yourself one of the shredders.
06:26I can only do three pull-ups.
06:27Playing in the Sidemen charity match at Wembley is a massive dream come true,
06:31and hopefully they've inspired the next generation of creators
06:34to get involved in their own charity matches.
06:36So, go ahead and try out Shopify using the link on screen.
06:40Thanks, Shopify.
06:41Having tested the wearability of the shredder, I was happy with the results.
06:45It definitely stays in one place.
06:47It doesn't move around.
06:48It's not going to fall out.
06:50So, I can class that as a success in my book.
06:53So, with 24 hours until the game,
06:55it was time for me to head over to the team hotel and get involved with training.
07:00And after I put one top bins,
07:06my teammates all seemed to have the same question for me.
07:10Have you got anything planned?
07:11You got any stunts planned for this year?
07:13What were you doing this year, then, mate?
07:14Doing a cough.
07:15What do you got planned this year?
07:16Anything crazy? You can tell me how I'm like.
07:17But you know what's really interesting?
07:18Everyone's talking about, like, how they could create their max flush moment.
07:21Really?
07:22A bunch of creators.
07:23Now, of course, I didn't want to say.
07:24I wanted to keep my shredder close to my chest, slash back.
07:29And back in the hotel room, I practiced a little more removing the shredder from the vest.
07:34Simple.
07:34But it wasn't until I was changing the batteries did a problem arise.
07:39I should have just thought of doing a bloody plus four.
07:41No.
07:42Rather than having to do an engineering challenge in my bedroom
07:45the night before I play at Wembley Stadium.
07:46But I now add these two batteries into there, into there.
07:53Does it turn on?
08:03What the hell?
08:10Okay, it does.
08:11But that was temperamental.
08:16Now that it's on.
08:29It works.
08:30I'm just a bit worried about how temperamental that is.
08:36Oh, God.
08:38Morning.
08:40Let's go shred a card in front of 90,000 people.
08:43The day had arrived and all the players met for breakfast.
08:46Are we just pointing the camera at them?
08:48Yeah, yeah, yeah.
08:50We also discovered at this moment that you could bet on the match.
08:54The odds that the Sidemen win, they're heavy favourites.
08:57I'm going to go 4-2.
08:58We'll do it.
08:58Do you have it in decimal or fractional?
09:00Percentage.
09:01Percentage?
09:01Yeah, what's the percent chance the Sidemen win?
09:0473%.
09:0575%.
09:05You look.
09:06I didn't.
09:0773.
09:09That was smart that the Sidemen win.
09:11We filed onto the bus.
09:14Yes, miss.
09:16Thanks, miss.
09:17Hello.
09:17And all latecomers were greeted accordingly.
09:22Where are you?
09:27Wanker, wanker, wanker, wanker, wanker, wanker.
09:32Here we go.
09:34We trundled down the motorway and the shredder wasn't leaving my side.
09:38The enormity of the situation was starting to dawn on me.
09:42Wembley Stadium, 96,000 people.
09:45It just doesn't get bigger and better than that.
09:48Here we go.
09:51This is mental.
09:53Sketch, how are you feeling, bro?
09:54Dude, this is nice.
09:56The greats have played here.
09:58England have won the World Cup here.
10:01And now the world would see my shredder.
10:04Yo, Joe, holy shit.
10:07This is way bigger than last year.
10:09Let's stand and shout as if I know what I'm doing.
10:11Yeah, thank you.
10:12Oh, you get that.
10:14After a quick warm-up, I decided to reveal to one player what I was going to do.
10:19Engineer Mark Rober.
10:22And I was hoping I was going to get his seal of approval.
10:25Where's Mark?
10:27Mark, let's go over here.
10:30Yeah.
10:31I want to get your thoughts on something.
10:33So last time, I did it in reverse.
10:35That's right.
10:36So I wanted to do something better.
10:38And yeah, you're the engineer.
10:39So I have had this made.
10:40So on my back in the entire warm-up, I've been wearing this.
10:44Which is a 3D made.
10:47This is custom.
10:48Electric shredder.
10:49This is custom.
10:51And it goes in reverse as well.
10:52You're going to Banksy that.
10:55Yeah, this is my Banksy moment.
10:57And I want to get the engineer's seal of approval.
11:00I'm just trying to see where the blades are.
11:02Yeah, in there somewhere.
11:03Got it.
11:03I mean, I hope so.
11:07That is so sick.
11:08The game began and I was in the starting 11.
11:12Now, of course, I didn't want to dive in too early.
11:14So the first half of the game, I just took my time and tried to enjoy myself.
11:18Max Fosh here on the ball.
11:19Even though a shredder was digging into my back.
11:22I played until the 30 second minute mark until I was subbed off for Mr. Beast.
11:26Just been subbed off.
11:28About 10 minutes to halftime.
11:31I still haven't had the opportunity yet, which is a bit scary.
11:34But I'll definitely get it done.
11:36It's just about finding the right time and just going for it.
11:39Absolutely flattering them.
11:40Halftime came and I had a bit of time in the change room.
11:43Change my shirt.
11:44Make sure the shredder was still there nice and snug.
11:46And as the second half began, I was determined to get a yellow.
11:51I saw a chance at the 50 second minute mark.
11:53And this tackle on Callux was completely uncalled for.
11:56Amazingly, the ref didn't give it.
12:01But that didn't matter as 15 seconds later, this happened.
12:19Now, pause right there.
12:20At this moment, I wanted the ground to swallow me whole.
12:25The shredder had not turned on.
12:28Nothing at all.
12:29So there I was trying to stuff a yellow card into a broken shredder.
12:34Pulled out some sort of contraption.
12:36At this point, I thought all was lost.
12:39So I threw the shredder on the ground.
12:43And amazingly, I heard it buzzing.
12:47There's a penalty to be had here, you know, Max.
12:50There we go, there's your clip.
12:53The shredder.
12:54We have fun.
12:56Outrageous from Posh.
12:57Thank bloody God for that.
12:59An outrageous penalty conceding tackle and months of work and planning.
13:04Almost all for nothing.
13:06But in the end, it all worked out.
13:08Zerkaa got his goal.
13:14I got my viral moment.
13:16And despite giving away a penalty,
13:18the YouTube All-Stars managed to clinch the win.
13:20And it's a YouTube All-Stars win on the biggest day in Sidemen history.
13:25Maybe next time, I can find a shredder that will actually work.
