my channel is dead...

Testing. Hello.

Testing. Hello.

Hello.

Welcome back to a new stream. Oh.

Got a lot of stuff to talk about today.

Many new and exciting developments we

need to discuss.

8-hour stream, maybe. My girlfriend's not

gonna be here for like 12 hours. Now I

probably do like 4 hours, 5 hours.

Gotta play some Diablo.

Hi Daniel, is everything stable and

balanced in your life? Uh, yeah, I think

my life is more balanced and stable now

than it's ever been in the past 5 years.

Hope this YouTube hype doesn't super boost

your ego. Well, that kind of already

happened. There's no more hype left.

The hype happened like 4 years ago.

Am I late? No, I just began like 2 minutes

ago. Haven't caught alive in a long time.

Well, hopefully the title brings some

people back. Where are you now? I'm in

Thailand. Seems like a lot of people are

in Thailand right now. Even Charlotte is

in Thailand. Maybe I go and say hi to her.

Tell her Chris still owes me that beer.

Why is everyone coming to Thailand

recently? Just copying me, aren't they?

They're like, they probably saw me and

they're like, oh, Daniel's in Thailand,

we should go there too. When I was in

Japan, everyone was coming to Japan.

People keep copying me because I'm such

an amazing YouTuber, I guess.

Oh, I don't like the way my hair looks. I

need to cut it again.

Had a cold shower. Every— so annoying,

every time we have a power cut— there was

a lightning storm about 2 days ago and

it cut out the entire power, and then when

it comes back on, for some reason our

shower doesn't have the ability to make

hot water anymore. Last time I fixed it by

just banging on the box, and this time

some guy came around to look at it, but he

didn't fix it. So I have no idea why I had

to have a cold shower. Cold shower in

Thailand is not too bad because the water

isn't like ice cold, but it's still pretty

cold compared to what I'm used to. I have

to completely change my shower routine

when there's no hot water. So I don't want

to get water on my body because it's cold.

I have to wash my hair by pouring it over

my head. And lowering my head down, but

then it all goes in my eyes and I can't do

my proper cleaning routine because I don't

want to stand in cold water. I want to get

out of it as quickly as possible. So yeah,

that's really annoying. I don't know why

the little green light is on, but the red

light has to be on too to say that it's

heating the water up. The red light

doesn't come back on.

Really annoying. Every single time we've

had a few power cuts when there's a

lightning storm, and this same thing

happens every single time. Hate cold

showers. You can't— how do you clean

properly in a cold shower? Because all

you're thinking about is getting out of it

as quickly as possible. I clean my gums

and my, my teeth you know, right down to

the bottom of the gums when I'm in the

shower. I can't do— I don't want to do

that in cold water.

I haven't watched in a while but pissed

myself when the notification popped up.

Move on. I have moved on. Your comment

explains exactly why this stream is titled

like that, cuz it's like the only way to

get some of you people to click on my

stuff. Do you think I actually care about

Chihiro anymore and I'm not just putting

in the title to try and get the algorithm

to push my stuff out? Uh, people really

don't understand YouTube, do they? They

think YouTubers title their content the

way they title it because they care about

it. No, it's because we know what you guys

want to watch, so we title it accordingly.

I don't understand why YouTube viewers are

so clueless about why YouTubers do what

they do. You think I haven't moved on from

Chihiro?

Okay, I don't even know what to say

anymore. You're staying in Thailand for

good? Yeah, I went to immigration

yesterday, got my new education visa.

Gave me a 6-month visa. So I

have to go back again after 90 days to do

like a checkup, and then they'll approve

it, give me the remaining 3 months. So

I've got 6 months in Thailand. I'll

probably extend it by another 6 months as

well for a whole year because the school's

pretty good. I went to the school last

week. I've done 2, 2 classes.

I've went to 2 classes now. And yeah,

it's not bad. It's quite nice to

sit there for a few hours, listen to the

teacher.

It's an interesting experience.

You keep tabs on when she deletes her

pics? No, people were telling me. They'll

say, oh, Daniel, Chihiro did this,

Chihiro did that. Yeah, sometimes I might

refresh her her page and see if there's

anything different after a few months.

But usually I find my— I get my news

because other people are telling me about

How is Thai to learn compared to Japanese?

It's hard to make the sounds. We spent the

entire first lesson just doing sounds,

and it was like ah, ee, eh, and that's

easy, but then you got the 呃, and the,呃,

I can't even do it. It's like an呃 sound

and the呃, you gotta make like funny mouth

and then the sound comes out from the

bottom of your throat. And there's呃 and呃.

I had to do that for like 3 hours. Oh my

God. And then the teacher went around the

class one by one. We all had to do it one

by one whilst the whole class listened.

It was kind of embarrassing because I

couldn't do the ah sound. And she was

like, not ah, it's ah. And I'm like, that

sounds exactly like what I just said.

Well, how's it different? Ah, ah, like

that for hours and hours. And then,

oh my God, some of the words end in a T,

end in a D, but they sound exactly the

same. So th is pronounced t, t is

pronounced like a d, but d is just

pronounced like a d too. How is t and d

any different?

And then there's ph and p, but p is like

puh, but p on its own is like buh. So why

don't you just write it as a b? So

confusing. And then we have to do tones,

like rising tone, Falling tone,

mid-tone. The rising tone, it was

tricky. It was like, uh,

you go, you go high and then you do like a

little higher note, like, uh,

like that for rising. And then you got

falling, it's like, uh, and you got

rising, uh, like that. And we were

doing that for hours and hours. It was so—

it's kind of tricky.

And then there's 2 Americans in the class.

One of them really had a hard time doing

the tones and he was like,

oh, and everyone was laughing because

the teacher is a woman. So obviously her

voice is higher pitched, like a woman's

voice. But he was thinking, okay, to do

the high tone, I have to be like her. And

then he was going, oh,

the whole class burst out laughing. It was

pretty funny. I was trying not to laugh

because I didn't want to be like I'm

making fun of him because he can't do it.

I was just trying so hard not to laugh,

but then everyone else started laughing.

Oh my God. Maybe it'll be easier if the

teacher was a man. I don't think you need

to do like a woman's voice to do the high

pitch. A man's voice would just be like,

uh, like that, and that would be rising

tone. You don't have to go, uh, like a

choirboy. But he said he was really

struggling with it.

There's 2 Americans, one's also called

Daniel, which everyone found hilarious.

The teacher was like, oh my God, 2

Daniels! And then she gave us different

names, like Dan from the US and Daniel

from the UK. I hate

it when there's 2 Daniels. It always

becomes like a big fuss, like, oh, 2

Daniels, hahaha. And Daniel is such a

common name. And then there's a couple

Russians. Mostly the rest of the class is

Chinese, Singapore, Taiwan. Just as I

thought, it'd be like half Chinese,

couple Americans, No Europeans. I'm the

only European.

And one— there's like a 13-year-old boy

from Cambodia, which is weird. How is he

13? So young.

Going to language school. Why would he be

going to lang— he's going there every day.

I don't get it, cuz the school is, is

every day, 9 to 12. Shouldn't he be going

to normal school? Like normal middle

school or whatever it's called, not going

to a language school. Should be learning

other things like, I don't know, maths,

science.

But who else? There's like 7 guys, 3— I

wouldn't even call them girls, call them

women at this point. They're just like

mid-30s. I think one of them's like 40,

one girl from the Philippines.

No Europeans apart from— I guess I'm the

only European. It's kind of funny. My hair

looks so wet. I should have dried it a bit

Are you mid-30? Yeah, I guess I'm probably

the same age as the teacher at this point.

I think the teacher's like 40 though. She

looks young, but you look at her hands and

stuff, you can kind of tell she's probably

late 30s, or I reckon early 40s.

If she's mid-40s, I'd be very surprised.

Thai women look pretty, pretty good in

general. They're slim, they've got the

long hair. I noticed women's hair in

Thailand is very nice. They all have like

long straight hair. And it looks full of

volume and it looks clean. Doesn't look

all flat and wet and like no volume.

But they all dye it brown, the same kind

of brown. Most of the women here have like

brown dyed long hair.

Planning to hang out with Johnny's Somali.

I would not hang out with any of those

people. Look at the people who hang out

with Ice. They're all in jail. Do you know

Ice Poseidon and all his friends are in

jail right now in Thailand? I think they

got released because Sam Pepper paid for

the bail, but for the last 3 days, I think

they've been sitting in a jail. I'll talk

about it later. So I know you guys

probably don't care. I should talk about

my own stuff first.

Burger Planet got arrested. Really? Why?

What did he do? I don't understand why

they're all getting arrested. I know Ice

did like a strip dance, but then everyone

else who was there also got arrested,

like Deepak, the Indian guy, the Korean

guy, that stream sniper who was just

sitting there on his phone. I think he got

arrested too. They just rounded them all

up and put them in a holding cell. It's

crazy. I'm sorry, I was actually thinking,

because my girlfriend kept trying to

encourage me saying, oh, let's go and find

Ice Poseidon. And I was like, no, I don't

think so. There's no point. So glad,

because can you imagine if I was there? I

would be— I would actually be in jail

right now. They put everyone in jail.

If I was there, just if Ice messaged me

and he was like, oh hey Dan, do you want

to come hang out? You could stream too,

we're going to this hotel. I would

probably say yes and

I would just be sitting there not doing

anything and then I'd get arrested as

well. That's crazy. You see, hiding in

your room, not having friends is not

such a bad thing. Having— I knew it—

having friends is like a massive liability

because they'll just get you in trouble.

That's just insane what happened. I

couldn't believe it.

Why are they arrested? Well, they were in

this fancy, really upper-class hotel

restaurant, and then this stream sniper

came to say hi to Ice, and he was wearing

like a bra and lingerie. And then he said

to Ice, why don't you try it on? And then

Ice started stripping and put on this

lingerie. And then did like a lap dance

for his girlfriend in the restaurant. And

then the hotel manager and all these

people in suits came and they started

yelling at them and then took

them over to the police station. They've

been in the police station for days. He

had to make like an apologetic public

apology video and they had to pay things

like $1,500 bail per person.

Who are these people he's talking about?

Well, if you don't know, I don't see a

point explaining it. They're just live

streamers. I sniped Ice

Poseidon back in 2019. Sam Pepper

is like a big— he used to be a pretty big

YouTuber, used to do pranks and stuff. He

lives in Thailand as well.

Yeah, I'm just really glad I didn't

associate with any of them

because I was kind of kicking myself

thinking, wow, look at all the viewers

they're getting. These nobodies are just

sniping Ice and getting hundreds of

viewers. Yeah, well, there's a massive

risk hanging out with Ice because he does

really dumb stuff in public and gets in

trouble all the time. He's fun to watch,

but to be his friend and hang out with

him, that's kind of risky.

You might end up in a jail cell.

It's kind of crazy, he just did like a a

little dance and that was enough. I don't

even know what the actual crime is that he

If you don't know about IP206X, you don't

want to know. Yeah, it's like the most

toxic community on the internet, and

everyone who's— who becomes a streamer who

associates with ICE ends up

experiencing this toxic community.

Because all they want— it was like how my

community used to be, but times 50 more

toxic. I'm kind of glad

they don't really care or know who I am.

They are the worst viewership to have

because they want drama, and it's full of

trolls and people trying to get Ice in

trouble because it's funny.

It's fun being like a nobody as

part of the community, but I wouldn't want

to be— I wouldn't want the attention on

me. They're kind of scary people.

Are you gonna make videos like before?

Streams are too long. No, probably not.

So I need to talk about the streaming

stuff.

Just because the streams are 5 hours long

doesn't mean you have to watch the whole

thing. And usually the stuff that you

probably want to listen to, I talk about

in the first hour or so. Like, what's up

with my life recently? What am I thinking

about? That would be talked about in the

first half hour of the stream. You don't

have to watch the entire 5 hours. The 2nd

and 3rd hour is just me rambling about the

same stuff, like, I don't know, history or

my channel or exes. And then like hour 4

and 5 is just me being bored because I ran

out of things to talk about. I'm getting

so sick and tired of people complaining

about the streams being long. Streaming is

supposed to be long by design. Everyone on

Twitch streams for like 10 hours.

Asmongold, xQc, all the streamers, they

stream for like 12 hours minimum.

Streaming is a long activity by

nature, by default. It's not a video.

Videos are like 10-minute short things

focused on a very specific topic that's in

the video title. Streaming is like 30

video topics rolled into one long stream.

There's different topics within the

stream. It's up to you to decide how much

you want to watch. It's like you go to a

restaurant for an all-you-can-eat buffet.

You don't have to eat the entire buffet.

It's not like, oh, I don't want a buffet

because I can't eat everything that they

have on offer. You just eat what you want

to eat, eat what you can, eat what you

want, and then when you're done, you just

leave. It's the same thing with streaming.

You want to watch 10 minutes, 20 minutes,

or an hour or 2 hours, it's up to you. I

don't know why people keep whining, oh,

Daniel's channel died because all he does

is these boring long livestreams. I don't

have 6 hours to watch Dan's boring

livestream. You don't have to watch the

entire thing all at once. If you just want

to watch 10 minutes, just watch 10

minutes. If what I'm talking about is

boring, then just skip, skip ahead like 20

minutes later, see if I'm talking about

something else. I don't understand why

people keep whining about it. I'm getting

so fed up. People don't understand the

concept of what a livestream is. And

they're like, oh, Daniel's channel died

because he doesn't make videos anymore.

You know why I don't make videos anymore?

It's because they don't get views. So why

would I waste my time making a video that

makes $15 when I can just stream and

make $15 and make more? I probably

make like $20, $30 from ad revenue plus

donations. And there's no effort because I

just sit here and I talk. It's hard to

make a video when you don't have an idea

for a video. What am I going to make a

video about? When I have an idea, yeah,

I'll make a video. I don't have any ideas,

which is why I stream.

If there was some really cool drama like,

oh, Chihiro became a man,

it wouldn't matter if I made a video or if

I live streamed the same thing. It would

get the same views. Like, I could have

made a video about— I made,

back in the Mila days, I made a video when

Mila moved in with me. It got 50K views.

Great. And then I did a live stream with

Mila. It got 50K views. It's the same.

The people watching the videos are the

same people watching the streams.

It doesn't make a diff— listen, if there

was like, oh, the videos get 10 times more

views than the streams, then obviously I

would only do the videos.

Why do I have to explain this every single

damn time? It's so irritating. Maybe I

have to make a video about why I'm not

making videos anymore. See one

more comment saying, oh, Daniel's channel

fell off because he only does boring live

streams. Daniel, these 6 hours of you live

streaming in front of your camera are so

boring. Oh my God, my videos are literally

just me sitting. This is what my videos

are. You think my videos are like

action-packed drama Hollywood action and

the livestream just me sitting here for 6

boring hours? But the videos are exactly

the same as the livestreams. They're just

shorter. My videos

are exactly the same. It's like 10 minutes

of me in front of the camera ranting about

a specific topic for 10 minutes, but it's

still just me in front of a camera

talking. It's not like I'm on a motorbike

doing a car scene chase being gunned down

by the FBI on my videos. So why

do people think that all the videos are so

much better than the livestreams? When the

livestreams are basically just a longer

version of the videos. I, I really don't

I get so frustrated having to explain this

stuff. I did,

I did an edited vlog in Phuket with cool

intro, doing different stuff like on a

boat, at the beach, in a jacuzzi,

interacting with my girlfriend, and it got

5K views. How is

that any more than my live streams? So

what is the point? What is the point?

Tell me, what is the point of even trying

anymore? Why would I bother spending

all day editing a video, going to Phuket

to get footage when it gets 5K views?

Tell me, like, why, why should I bother

doing that? And you know how much money it

made? It made like $20.

Yeah, it got 6K views. It made, it made

$22. Why would I bother?

For fun? You're so fun dragging video

footage and putting some music. It's not

fun, it's boring. Just dragging stupid

footage on a timeline, cutting the silent

bits at the end and the beginning,

putting some music.

It's not fun at all. It's boring.

Editing a video is boring. I hate it.

I did a cool mockumentary about Phuket.

Okay, that was kind of funny because, uh,

I got really into the David Attenborough

voice. Millions of years ago. That was

kind of fun, I guess. It got 4K views and

it made like $10. Where is it?

Dark Side of Thailand. It made $13.

I make like $30 just livestream. Why, why

would I bother making a stupid video when

you guys don't watch it? Well, you guys do

watch it because you're the guys who watch

the streams and the videos, but the people

complaining about the livestreams are not

the ones watching it

anymore. I get so annoyed.

People who have no idea about YouTube

telling me what I should do on YouTube.

Okay.

If I didn't do the livestreams anymore, I

think my income would drop by like 50%.

Because the livestreams make more ad

revenue, they get donations. I can do them

more often than the videos because I don't

know what to make a video about. Well,

first day at school video, probably get 4K

views and make $10. Why would I bother?

I can't be bothered.

There's literally nothing to make a video

I went yesterday, I went to school and

then I went to immigration and I picked up

my visa and then had

lunch, had Japanese lunch. I had tempura,

it cost me $1.50.

Then we came back and I played Diablo.

That's it, day in the life of boring

UK guy.

Yeah, it's so frustrating spending all day

on a video and you feel proud of it and

then it flops and you just feel like,

what is the point? Why am I doing this?

It's just a waste of time.

I put, oh, do not buy Elden Ring, gets a

million views. Why even bother anymore?

I just completely don't care anymore.

Oh, people, people don't understand

YouTube at all, do they?

I'm just explaining why I focus. I'm only

doing live streams now on this channel

because it is the only thing that

works.

Uh, the People Suck video, okay, it did

12K views, but it only made $30.

And I'm not saying I'm not going to do

that stuff anymore. Like, if something

happened, someone started trying to beef

with me, I will make a video about it.

But that stuff rarely happens. Happens

like once every few months or once half a

I don't see any videos that have done

really well apart from the video game

stuff, but that's not you guys watching

it. That's a completely different set of

people.

So if you've got like a, a viewership of

a couple thousand people, live streams

will do better than videos every

time. Videos only do better when you've

got a huge amount of people watching,

like 50K people, and you want, you want

to keep those 50K people watching as long

as possible. Then yeah, you focus on the

videos because doing live streams every

day will make them bored. But when

you reach a point where people are already

bored and the ones who got bored have

already left, then there's not really any

harm doing nonstop livestreams anymore.

That's why back at my peak, I focused on

videos and I took down livestreams after I

finished them. You notice there's no

livestreams from 2018 and '19? It's

because I took them down. Because yeah, I

realized the livestreams were boring

people. And they wanted, they wanted like

fast-paced 10-minute video action drama.

And that's what I focused on at the time

when I had loads of drama and I had a

massive audience. But I lost those things

now and there's no point.

There's no point behaving that

way when you've already lost the majority

of your viewers. It's like

Ninja, for example. When he was at his

peak doing all the Fortnite crazy stuff.

And now he, he peaked, people got bored,

he has his core audience, he just streams

and chills out and he does what he wants.

That's just how it goes. You could say,

oh, Ninja fell off because he doesn't do

X, Y, and Z anymore. No, he just fell off

because he, he peaked in popularity.

There's no more growth to be had.

I hit my peak as well. There was no more

growth for my style of content,

so there's like no point trying hard doing

that stuff anymore.

I'm going to do videos. I'm— I do it on my

second channel and they do well. My Diablo

4 video is doing well. But I don't put

them on this channel because I know you

guys don't care, so I put it on my second

You can still grow. Yeah, I can, but I

have to do other stuff. But if I do other

stuff, you guys are not going to watch,

so I do the other stuff on my second

channel and then do the live streams for

the people who still watch on this

channel. That is my thinking.

They switch it up, yeah, but that's like

getting a new audience. You're not

growing— it's not growing though. It's

like being a hermit crab. A hermit crab

doesn't get a new house and stick it to

his current house. He ditches his old

house, which is too small now, then he

moves into a bigger shell. But he's lost

the old shell. The old shell is gone.

When you— when a YouTuber switches it up,

imagine a YouTuber with a million subs but

only gets 10K views, and then he switches

it up and then, oh, magically grows, and

now he's got 2 million subs. He's still

got 1 million dead subs. That million dead

subs are still there. It's just he's like

layered a new fresh 1 million subs on top

of the dead subs. He hasn't

really grown, he's just changed and gotten

a new audience. He hasn't grown on top of

what he used to do, he's just changed what

he's doing. It's basically the same as

starting a new channel.

I could do the gaming stuff on this

channel and it

still doesn't— it doesn't mean the channel

is still not dead. It's still dead. It's

just it's got like gaming viewers layered

on top of the dead corpse.

My point is, doing my old style of content

is, is only worth doing for

the people left on this channel.

But when it drops down to a certain level,

I'll just stop doing it completely because

there's just no point. I would just turn

this channel into like another— probably

just rename it and be like, oh, Jacob

Jablinski Games. Who cares anymore?

People give you a ton of ideas. Yeah, and

they all suck. Listening to your viewers

for ideas is the worst thing a YouTuber

can ever do because viewers don't

understand. Like, oh, you should do this

and do that. None of it would work though.

They're like, oh, you should make videos

outside. I do that, flops. You should

do fitness videos. I did that, flops.

That every single thing people said has

flopped. The only thing that hasn't

flopped were the things I came up with,

because I understand how the algorithm— do

you understand how the algorithm works?

You don't, because you've never done this.

I know what gets clicks, and it's not what

you think it is. You don't want to listen

because you don't know what you're talking

about. Let's see your YouTube channel then

with a million views or whatever.

You guys don't understand at

all.

None of your ideas will work just because

you saw some other YouTuber doing it. You

think, oh, it's going to work for

everyone. Oh, why don't you just be like

PewDiePie? Everyone loves PewDiePie. He

gets millions of views and he doesn't have

to do— yeah, cuz he's PewDiePie.

You have to be PewDiePie to achieve what

he has achieved. Okay, I'll just become

PewDiePie.

Your videos fail because you don't put any

effort into them. No, see, that's just a

load of bollocks as well because I put a

lot of effort into some videos and they

get the worst views. I spent all day, I

spent like 12 hours editing that Phuket

documentary, got 4K views. I spent 20

minutes making the Elden Ring video, it

got 1 million views. Effort does not equal

views. It does not. It doesn't matter

how many hours you spend putting effort

into a video, it will flop. If it's like a

bad template.

It took a long time to make that Phuket

video and it just did terribly. People

don't appreciate— well, I guess they

appreciate it, but the algorithm doesn't

care. You think my

Elden Ring video had a lot of effort put

into me? Like 10 minutes, mate.

You don't have original ideas?

Originality doesn't matter.

Originality only matters if

you're like the top 1% and you're this

hugely creative person with really massive

cool ideas, which I'm not, by the way.

You can't just wake up and magically

become a creative person. You either are a

creative person or you're not. And I'm not

very creative. Actually copy

and pasting what works for other people

and then just slightly changing it has

worked really well for me.

You know why, why all the top YouTubers

have the exact same style of thumbnail?

Do you think that's because of

originality? They're all just copying each

other because it works. Like the stupid

face like this and the circle and the

arrow. Why does every big YouTuber do

that? It's not originality, is it? It's

because that's what works. That is the

meta. Viewers think, oh, I don't

like the stupid faces, oh, I'm so sick and

tired of the arrows, and yet they keep

clicking on it. It's like that's what gets

the most views.

People don't think the same way that

advertising companies think. People think

they're sick and tired of this, but then

they actually are

magnetically pulled towards that kind of

advertising strategy subconsciously,

whether they know it or not.

You whine too much? Yeah, well, it gets

frustrating. People keep telling you

what to do. People keep telling me that

it's my fault and they're like blaming me

when they don't know what they're talking

This rant is unhinged. Yeah, well,

I'm just trying to explain why everyone's

wrong and I'm right.

I hate YouTube. It sucks. I started

YouTube with passion and creativity,

thinking I'm gonna make my mark, I'm gonna

show the world my creativity, and I

just— I got pissed on.

So yeah, I'm bitter and hateful because I

think YouTube sucks. This is a stupid

It's just like dumb stupid platform and

Okay, change topic. How's language school?

Uh, yeah, it's not bad.

It's like a small classroom, 10 people.

Uh, we, we first day we're practicing

pronunciation. Second day doing

pronunciation again, but the last hour she

finally started teaching us words.

So we learned my name is, what is your

name? It's like pom chu Daniel crab.

And then asked what your name is,

kun chu arai crab, like that. And then we

go around the classroom, we have to ask

the person's sitting next to us. Hello,

what is your name? My name is Daniel,

thank you. And then, hello, what is your

name? They're so boring.

Are there any cute girls in your class?

Nope. There's a Filipino, there's one

Chinese woman, and a Russian woman.

But the Russian people are Asian. They

look like Mongolians. There's 3 Russians.

One of them's white, and then the other 2

are like a married couple, but the man's—

he looks like a Mongolian, like really

Mongolian looking. And then there's 2

Americans who are white,

and there's a couple Chinese guys,

one Singapore guy. The Singapore guy

is Pretty funny. I think

Singapore and Malaysian men, yeah, they

have good vibes. They have confident

sounding voice.

They're not shy. I like

it when there's lively, energetic people

in the classroom.

Makes it less awkward.

But we just spent hours and hours going

ah, ah, ee, ee,

eh, eh, oh, oh.

I feel like it's kind of pointless.

Just teach us words and then we'll learn

how to pronounce the words.

Maybe the special Thai vowels are

important. So then like the ü sound,

ü, like that. There's a lot of sounds like

that in Thai, which we don't have in

English. But come on, we don't have to do

ah and ee. We've got that in English. In

Japanese, it's easy. You just say a i u e

o. That's it. But Thai has a lot of weird

vowels like u and u and

e. It just sounds like you're throwing up

in your mouth. Imagine you're vomiting in

your mouth. That's what the sound is like.

U u. And then the rising tone

is like ma.

Ni, ni, falling,

and ni rising. And then downtone

is like ni, and then flat tone is ni, and

then rising is ni. Rising is hard

because you think it's like, uh, it's not

like that. You start off with kind of a

mid-tone and then you suddenly skip up a

tone like, eee, like that. And then

people couldn't do it. The teacher would

have a woman's voice and she's like, eee.

And then the men were trying to imitate

her woman's voice and they were like,

eee. It was so funny. Got this middle-aged

American man doing a woman's voice.

That's not how Thai men speak. They just

do the rising tone in a man's voice, like

ee. They don't go like that.

He just could not do it. So I feel like he

was trying to force a high tone.

I think I got the tones when she came

around to me and I had to do my tones. I

got them all right first try,

which I was worried about because I think

I'm pretty tone deaf. You've heard— if

you've heard me singing, I'm completely

tone deaf. I'm like, near, far,

wherever they are.

I think the tones— the problem is using

the tones when you're actually speaking is

hard. Learn a few basic

words like,

like listen is fang. So she'll

say, listen carefully.

So I learned a few things,

and like speak or say is put, put like

that. You got to say the tone as well.

I don't like the tones. My girlfriend

doesn't understand what I'm saying if I

don't do the tones right. It's not, it's

not Fang Di Di, it's Fang Di Di, like

that. Di Di is down tone,

so you got to remember the words and the

One funny thing is, what is a dai? A dai?

But tasty is aroi. Some of this— one of

the Americans mixed up,

mixed up what with tasty, and he

was like, your name is tasty.

My, my— what is your name? And he'd be

like, what? Your name is tasty.

My name is Tasty. The teacher— I like the

teacher. She's very energetic. She's kind

of like the Japanese teacher I had in

Japan. Similar vibes, like good

mannerisms and expressions,

lively energy. Must be boring though,

teaching the same thing over and over

again, but You

would have to have some kind of passion

for teaching to do that. Classes,

3 hours. I haven't

talked to anyone. There's breaks every

hour for 10 minutes, and the English

speakers usually stay in the classroom and

chat. Like, the Americans would chat with

the Singapore guy. They chat about, oh,

what Singapore like, it's like British

colony, blah blah blah. And I'm just

sitting there in silence staring at my

phone because I was reading up on the

iceberg side and stuff. I wasn't really

interested in joining the conversation. I

don't know what I'd say though.

They were just talking about themselves

like, oh, my ex was Filipino, blah,

blah, blah.

Yeah, I think everyone started the class

the same day, so we're all new to the

A bit disappointed there's no Japanese

people. I don't think I'm gonna make any

friends. Maybe I could make friends with

the American guy. He has James vibes,

like kind of a bubbly American kind of

guy. Reminds me of James a bit.

I reckon he would be the, the best

candidate for friendship. The other

American guy, he's a bit too old,

but I reckon the other American guy who's

called Dan, he seems like around my age.

No one recognized me. I was a bit worried,

what if they know me from YouTube? No, I

don't think anyone recognizes me anymore.

The American guys have the funniest accent

when they try to speak Thai though. I feel

like they're trying too hard and it comes

off sound— sounding kind of funny.

They're like, so what? ดิครับ like trying

way too just say สวัสดีครับ in a normal

way. You don't have to say it so

enunciated.

And then they make the teacher made us do

like the hand gesture, which I find really

embarrassing. I don't like doing this. It

feels weird.

I really don't like having to do that.

You have to like nod as well when

you say hello.

It's a bit annoying when

you have to listen to the entire class one

by one repeat the same thing.

Because, I mean, it's so slow to learn.

My name is like Pom Chu Daniel Crab. That

would take 10 seconds, but because Every

person in the class has to, has to do it.

It takes like an hour to learn my name is.

So 1 hour going one by one

around the classroom, everyone doing

ponchu crab, ponchu crab, kunchu arai

crab. And some people were so slow trying

to understand, like, men say pom, girls

say di chan. The girls kept saying pom,

like one guy kept saying d-chan. Is it

that hard? Women say d-chan, guys say pom.

It's not difficult.

Took ages.

Did I buy the ROG Ally? No, I couldn't

find where to buy it. The only people

selling it are selling it for like $1,000,

and it's not really trending. I don't

think I'd get views. Plus, I don't really

want it, so I think I dodged a bullet.

I'm kind of scared of talking to people

because I really don't want to have to

start explaining like, oh, I met a girl on

Tinder, came to Thailand, we live

together, blah blah blah. I just, I really

don't care having to explain my life story

over and over again.

So the class is only 20 days.

Which is kind of weird because I'm getting

a visa for 6 months. So the

first module is speaking and listening

level 1, and that's 20 days. And then I

guess after that we do level 2, which is

another 20 days. And then that's it. If I

want to do another 20 days, I've got to

pay again and then I'll get an extra 6

months. I think I'm probably going to pay

again because it's only $500 and I get

another 6 months in Thailand. The first

day I went there using a taxi, it took

about 40 minutes and it cost, it cost

like $10. And then I took the train coming

back and it only cost about, it cost like

$1.50. So the train is like a tenth

of the price of a taxi, but it

takes nearly twice as long. So I probably

just I think my girlfriend's probably

gonna take me there when she can, but she

can't take me every day because she has to

sit there waiting for me. There's no point

her driving me there for half an hour,

coming back for another half hour,

and then come— then spend another hour

coming back and then going back. She might

as well just wait downstairs, get some

food or something, go shopping. I might

just get the train there. The train is

kind of annoying to get because I have to

walk. It takes like 10 minutes to walk to

the station. I got to change 2 trains, 3

trains. I got changed from the subway to

the M, to the BTS, the Skytrain.

And then it takes like 10 minutes to walk

from the station to the school. Oh, did

you hear? A woman lost her leg in the

airport in Bangkok. She was on the walking

escalator. She got stuck in it and then

her leg got caught in the mechanisms and

they had to amputate. She gets to sue the

airport and make some money off it.

Her whole life is ruined now.

I need some paint.

I wonder

what we're gonna learn next lesson. I

could have a look at the textbook. It's

stuff like, this is a pen, do you have a

pen? Let's start off with the

I don't understand how they can't have a

system where if the, the escalator thing

is being obstructed, it should be able to

detect if it's obstructed or not and then

automatically stop. I don't know how that

would work though.

I would just learn the basics on YouTube.

Yeah, you could, but then you'd be sitting

in the classroom bored because you know

everything. I didn't want to go into the

class already knowing stuff. I already

knew pom chu, and I know stuff like a dai,

and I know crab, obviously. It's like the—

it's like desu in Japanese. You got desu.

It's basically ka and crab in Thai.

But some things I didn't know, like to say

don't sleep, don't eat, don't go.

Do you know what the word for don't is? I

kid you not, it is ham.

H-A-A-M. It's like ham,

ham. I can't remember the tone now. I

think it's ham.

I think maybe it's like Midtone. So you

just say ham and then whatever after it,

which is kind of funny.

And then don't know is mai sap, and then

know is sap, S-A-A-P.

Did you get that painting off Wish? No, I

painted it myself. It's beautiful. I might

do some painting tomorrow.

I think I'm making progress with the

portraits, watching a lot of people paint

and then trying to copy them.

A bit bored of the painting right now,

burnt myself out.

I'm back on the Diablo grind. I'm on

level— nearly at level 85. Which is how

many viewers I have right now. It's funny.

Oh no, I got 68. It said on Streamlabs 85.

Well, it seems like the ex-wife clickbait

didn't work, did it? Hmm, what can

I clickbait to get people to watch my damn

stream? Maybe nothing is

gonna get them to watch. Maybe everyone

knows what to expect from the streams, so

they're not tricked anymore.

Hmm, maybe I need a new tactic.

The first tax stream did really well, got

like 140 viewers, but then the second one

didn't work. Maybe just something

less baity, I don't know.

Maybe doing like my first day at school

would have done better.

My teacher is hot or something like that.

I don't know. Say something. My mind

just went blank. I don't know what to talk

about now. Someone asked me something.

Do an activity on stream? No, because when

I do an activity, people stop watching

because I stop talking when I do stuff.

If you leave the UK— if you leave and go

to the UK for Christmas, is your visa

still valid? Yeah, I'll get a re-entry

permit. They said I'm allowed to leave and

so I can go for Christmas and come back.

I don't have any tax updates. The tax

people didn't reply to me.

They've given me until the end of July to

show them my statements for 2019, but I

I don't have statements for 2019. It

doesn't go back that far. Plus, I was

living in Japan, so I didn't

declare anything because I wasn't living

in the UK.

But I can get the statements for 2021. I

guess I'll do that. I'll do that next

week, maybe. I'm not in a rush. I wanted

to get 2020 sorted out first before I move

on to 2021. Tax people contact

me by email.

Yeah, it better not be a scammer. What if

it's like a scammer? I just gave them all

my bank information.

I was stressed out about the tax stuff,

but I kind of don't care right now until

I get some updates.

I don't think I have to pay tax for 2019

because I was in Japan for like 9 months.

It's only in the UK when my dad died, but

that was about— that was from April until

July. It's just 3 months.

2021,

I think I made like £20K, £22K.

I still had a lot of my old viewers

watching back then.

Did your mom's dad ever start losing his

hair? I don't think so. He died pretty

young, like 50, but I'm— I don't remember

what he looks like, but I don't remember

him being bowed— bald.

Why is the chat not on screen anymore?

Uh, cuz there's no place to put it. I

guess I could put it on the right side.

Chat box, put it on the right side.

There, your, your message is the first on

screen. I don't

understand how Ice gets arrested after

being in Thailand for 2 days. That's

insane. Are they still in jail or

what?

I can't wait for him to go live again. I

reckon he's going to leave Thailand. I

reckon he hates Thailand now because he

keeps saying, oh, Thailand, the land of

ladyboys and stuff, and then he gets

arrested for dressing up as a ladyboy.

He's gonna be so pissed.

Well, that is the, the misconception of

Thailand that everyone has. People think

Thailand's all just ladyboys and

strippers. It's really not. That's like a

small, small part of Bangkok.

You really have to think of Thailand as

basically China version 2.

Now it's really not all about strippers

and ladyboys. That's only like a street in

Bangkok. Soi Cowboy in Nana Plaza,

Walking Street in Pattaya. It's like 1% of

Thailand makes up for

what people think Thailand is all about.

No, it's really not.

That's just what Americans think Thailand

is all about, and then they get in

trouble. Like, ICE is now in trouble.

I think because Ice has this misconception

of what Thailand is, he thought it was

okay to do that stuff,

like do a strip show lap dance. And he

thought, oh, this is Thailand, do anything

you want. But he and

a lot of other people don't understand

that a lot of the nice places in Bangkok,

like the place, the hotel he was in, uh,

managed, owned, and run by the Chinese

elite Thais who are very conservative.

And okay, maybe some of them are ladyboys,

but they have self-respect and dignity,

and they don't find this degen stuff

funny.

Is this gonna be your new streaming

schedule? Um,

I'm still not sure. My girlfriend's
