The NFKRZ Podcast #1 with Bald and Bankrupt

SUPPORT ME ON PATREON: / nfkrz
Welcome to the pilot episode of the new podcast I'm starting on my channel! Featuring Bald and Bankrupt - the Soviet connoisseur vlogger in the flesh. In this podcast we discuss our future on KZbin, Post-Soviet countries, who has the better drip, our personal lives, a bit of politics and much more. I'm planning to try and put out at least one or two episodes of the podcast a month, with each episode having a new (or maybe returning) guest. Hope you enjoy it! Keep in mind that this is my first attempt at podcasting and it might be slightly rough, but I'm obviously going to get better. Smash like and subscribe for more episodes and content!

Welcome to the pilot episode of the podcast I'm starting on my channel! Starring Mr. Bald and Bankrupt himself. The plan for this podcast is for me to upload at least one or two episodes a month, with each episode featuring a new (or returning guest). Hope you enjoy it! Keep in mind that this is my first attempt at podcasting and it might be slightly rough, but I'm obviously going to get better. Make sure to leave feedback and constructive criticism on how I can improve the future episodes. Few notes: you may notice Bald's camera and audio go out of sync ever so often and then come back together, and in rare moments his audio lags for a little bit - that is probably an issue of Bald's Wi-Fi connection at his hotel. I think it's pretty watchable anyway, and most people probably only listen to podcasts like these instead of actually sitting there and looking at our faces. Decided to have minimal to no editing on this, as I feel like our conversation flow was pretty good to begin with.

Life stops at 30 until you reach 30 Life stops at 40 until you reach 40 In reality, life stops when you give up on it. When you don't want to do anything more and you lay down and give up. A man who is 40 could be more alive than someone who has settled at 20. Keep the flame of life alive, do new things, talk to new people, expand your horizon both figuratively and literally, and life won't stop until the last person says your name fondly in memory, which if you live life to its fullest could be never.

@Weevil That is great advice. I'm 52 year's old but I don't look it, act like it, or feel like it. Sure, the body is a little run down, bad back, knee's, etc, but my mind is still sharp as a knife. A positive attitude really helps as well.

[@jamesbinns8528]

Indeed. I'm 66. I SUP and canoe rivers, and so do my friends who are all near my age. A few are older and kayak class 3 + water. Thirty years of operating and working a landscape business helped me stay in shape, but also caused some wear and tear on the body. When I travel it is with a backpack the size of a carry-on. I think I have a few trips left! So much of life is attitude. I try.

The chat about what the future holds resonates with me so much. In my 20's I was at Uni and hated it, so I left. Became a Paramedic, travelled the world as a medic for the oil & gas industry, got a family then in an instant last year (I'm 47 now) I became a single parent. I went from a well-paid travelling job, to a full-time single dad to 3 kids. Do whatever you can, when you can because you just don't know when it will come to a halt. Cheers Roman :)

[@MrJulek53]

Hello Ben, I have to tell you that you are a special man as an Englishman, I find it after watching most of your videos. I am much older than you because I have lived in Canada, Ontario for over thirty years and have had the opportunity to meet a lot of British people, which is why I say you have a unique personality. You show tenderness and compassion for human fate, it is clearly visible from your travels around the Soviet countries, and at the same time, you maintain a great serenity and a sense of good humor, which does not show any mockery of their poverty, but rather a compassion. Your videos are also a beautiful history lesson that shows how political systems treat people, using them in a brutal way to achieve their sick ideologies that I hope will awaken this reality in the hearts of many young people. It would be great to meet you in person, I wish you many new adventures, although it is very difficult in these times of darkness and political terror, keep this well-being and your innate serenity. I send you warm greetings from Grimsby Ontario

[@PurgPurg]

Dude yeah I totally agree. I often would have fears of getting older and not being able to do the things I can when I’m young, but bald shows that you can do it at any age. Plus, when you’re older, you’re more confident in yourself, less angsty, and generally less depressed and unsure of everything. I’m definitely looking forward to those aspects of being older, as someone who has huge problems with anxiety, social insecurity, depression, etc etc. as I age I’ve gotten less insecure and more sure of myself (even though I still have huge issues) And it’s not like I’m old at all, I’m only 21, but it’s already quite a bit better than being a teenager, in terms of mental health

[@SidMajors]

My 2 cents about 'life' around your 20's. I'm 29 now, almost 30. Dutch. Very broadly interested in everything. In my eyes, most people don't know what to do at this age. Only recently I've started to become more relaxed in the fact that I didn't find my passion. But earning some money to at least live a good life, is in my opinion the most important thing. Anything can become your passion if you're only mildly open minded. Just do anything when it comes to work. You'll know when you don't like it soon enough. Then just quit. And if you do like it, continue. That's all to it mate. Don't overthink passions or future years. You can't predict most of it anyways. Just start anywhere. You'll get there mate. You're smart and open minded.

Of course, speaking the language helps greatly (and lowers prices in some cases), but russian railroads are rather english-frendly. I would recommend learning cyrillic alphabet for a day or two, ability to read simple signs is useful in itself

@@leredditcommander8208 that's exactly what i meant by "helps greatly", but it is not the only way to communicate (espacially now with translators in our phones), so lack of language skills must not stop people travelling. The joy of finding understanding with other people (and lerning each other's languages in the process) is very nice. As far as understand from my relatives in Japan it is harder there, because languages are more different and many Japanese people are somewhat embarrassed to use their imperfect english with foreigners.

[@user-ks3mk9kq4l]

Nice comments, as a big Bald fan and someone who has looked into his backstory, would have loved to hear about his married life.

[@KingLouis420th]

the stream lag fucks things up too

[@BrainDead235]

Agreed. He should watch some Rogan tips to when running a podcast. He can definitely do it, just needs to learn a few things though.

[@mrgiantanthem]

I agree. However, great first atrempt!!

[@yoshie-]

Mr. Bald is a good, respectful, patient listener, such a very polite British gentleman. He listens very carefully and kindly waits Roman to finish sentence. He is careful not to interrupt Roman. He doesn't even show the slightest sign of annoyance when being cut off. When he wants to say something, he asks "can I say something?' - wow... “Am I taking up a lot of time...?” Please ramble on, Mr. Bold, everyone here is so keen to listen to your stories - funny, silly, serious, sad, anything. I learn English as well as how to listen/speak politely in English by listening/watching this. Interesting stories, opinions, honest questions/answers - very entertaining:-)🙏 - a viewer from the country where Uniqlo was born 😄.

[@RickFidelisReed]

WELL it took me three days but hey I made it to the end. What an awesome insightful conversation. Roman you are so lucky to have a wise uncle like Benjamin to question. Always seek the advice of folk who have lived longer and experienced more.

[@LEGIOXIIIG]

Watched the whole thing. I love Bald and Bankrupt's channel - NFKRZ - I discovered yours about 3 months ago, I'm now a subscriber. Keep up the good work friend!

[@vinylpony7835]

This episode should be called romans quarter life crysis

[@calciumvaughan3519]

lmao

[@ulusguy]

The fact you're having a 'crisis' about your future at 23 even though you've already accomplished so much? Means you are creative and sensitive and you have so much going for you. Keep pushing forward.

[@jackscruffy]

I really enjoyed your conversation. It never got boring and often funny. Already a fan of BandB. Glad to meet NFKRZ!

[@joelmilten]

Dude. You guys are so right. I've learned more about Russia from you Roman, than I've learned about it in my whole life. We never hear about the real Russia in the west. From the videos you've made, I now have a clearer idea of what Russia is and what it is makes me super interested and I want to visit it now. Thank you Roman for giving us that inside view of your country.

[@realjohn4064]

Roman, next time let your guest finish their sentences. Less you as the interviewer and more from the interviewee makes it more interesting. Some banter is OK, but BB was saying some interesting things but you had the habit of cutting him off and started to talk about your own experience. Just a tip.

[@oliveroliver7970]

Thats excactly what I thought.

[@lukeluke7082]

Was gonna say the same thing

[@eZ6Pain]

Yes BB wanted to talk about his wife and he cut him

[@julianbishop3321]

Agree with this comment. I listened for about an hour, but finally could take no more. However, interviewing is a skill that requires mastering. I hope you add this to the list of skills you want to develop

[@chickenfishhybrid44]

Part of it might be the lag

[@darraghcrehan781]

Just a small tip, I found you interrupted him quite a bit when he was talking but I really enjoyed the first episode and can’t wait for more✌️

[@janandreassen4221]

Sorry to say... This is one of the most fantastic convocation/interview podcast i have ever heard. It helps alot that Bald have so many fun stories to tell but you have som great subjects as well, that is why i think this is great and fantastic.

[@ohjajohh]

I listened to this podcast on a 40km bikeride and I really liked it. Thnx guys!

[@pharm495]

Good interview, I feel like Roman interrupted Bald too many times while he was talking though, kinda got annoying.

[@leredditcommander8208]

Bald "so im learning spanish and..." hairy cringe guy "OH YEAH I WANT TO LEARN GERMAN OR SOMETHING IDK I FEEL LIKE GERMAN THIS" Dude could have asked bald why he wants to learn, how is he doing it, hours he is spending, how far has come, when he plans to go back to Latin america, idk, but no, bald had to come himself with some of this.

[@mmitache]

I agree, definitely too many interruptions. I tuned in to listen to Bald (mostly)...

[@HectorHernandez-ec3nd]

I think given the fact that he's in his early 20s , he's trying to find his footing and learning how to do long form podcast, i'd say he's doing ok. We'll see how he develops into his new self

This is absolutely fantastic, thank you for doing this man. You are spot on with your quote at the beginning when Bald worries about rambling “people love hearing us talk to one another” - we really do!

After following both you guys for over a year, and as a Brit living in Moscow, I'm going to start making videos walking around places beginning today. I don't have a decent camera, so it'll just be on my phone, but I'll do what I can. After hearing what Bald said at the 7 minute mark this inspired me

I mean absolutely NO disrespect by this, but I'm amazed how well you adapt to this different genre, especially in long format. Even with your KZbin experience, it shows other level talent. Although Ben is a very friendly and familiar guest for you. But still, very well done Roman!

[@walangchahangyelingden8252]

Oh, he's definitely an introvert.

[@walangchahangyelingden8252]

@Multorum Unum Nah, sure it's the camera and the act giving him confidence. And, being in a foreign country. He's still very confident don't get me wrong.

[@marienkaefer1660]

The video flowed very well; your conversations with Mr. Bald are very organic, as if the two of you are talking at a pub. Maybe an LED or greenscreen would help to add context when you make reference to something that was in another video. Great work i really enjoy yours' and Balds' content because it shows some of the most one of a kind spots and things in the world. Thank you for sharing and may your future journeys be good.

There is also one interesting thing about the Czech Republic that not that many people moved to another country after the fall of communism compare to all other post communist countries.

I grew up in Eastern Europe, Slovakia specifically, and Russia was still this sort of nebulous enigma that I really didn't know a whole lot about. It wasn't until people like you and Bald started making detailed in country videos that I really started to understand what life in Russia was really all about. One of my first stops after covid is definitely going to be Russia.

Like Bald, i spent decades traveling both for business and pleasure, but to be honest, more for business. After all those years, although there are experiences I wouldn't trade for anything, I came to a conclusion. Travel is glamorous to two kinds of people; those who've never REALLY done it, and crazy people. I'm now living a simpler, more sedentary life the past 5 years or so and am very content and comfortable doing so. And thankful for the memories.
