Trying Korean Mcdonalds

Oh no. I didn't get a straw.

Oh well. Korean Coca-Cola.

Pretty good.

And I got this— whoa, this is huge! Look

at the size of this! It's massive!

I got this 1955 burger

double. I'm not sure why it's 1955.

It's already kind of cold. I was only

outside for about 10 minutes walking home.

Let's see what it looks like.

So they put it in this cardboard ring to

keep it in shape— hold the shape, I guess.

Not a bad idea.

Ta-da! Never looks as good as the picture,

does it? So, um, what kind of burger

is this? I can see bacon,

bacon, tomato, onions. Everything's

falling out, it's a bit of a mess.

Korean lettuce.

Hmm, it's not

bad. Okay, let's cut this in half so

we can get a nice intersection.

Hmm, it's quite a lot in there, quite a

lot of stuffing. It's gonna fall out when

I bite it, isn't it? Oh well.

It's spilling everywhere.

It's okay, I guess.

It's a bit like a Big Mac but not as big,

and it has bacon in it.

Chips are pretty much the same.

I like to think of McDonald's in the same

way as YouTube videos. You know, the

picture always looks really good. And then

you open the box and it looks kind of

crap. That's what YouTube is like.

The thumbnail looks really good, and then

you watch the video and it— the content

kind of sucks.

You know, like MrBeast, he's always got

these really cool thumbnails, and then you

watch the video and it's like 20 minutes

of nothing, and the thing in the thumbnail

doesn't even happen. Oh, it barely

happens.

I don't like it when, when there's ice in

the cola and you're trying to drink it but

the ice cubes keep getting in the way.

They should invent a really big ice cube

that just sits at the bottom of the cup

and doesn't float to the top.

Yeah, instead of having lots of little ice

cubes, why don't you just have one big one

at the bottom? Genius.

So my date yesterday with the French girl

went pretty well.

Got really good views. It got number one

out of ten for views,

which I'm happy about. But at the same

time, I feel a bit sad

that this is what my channel has become.

Going on dates with girls is the only way

I can get views now, whereas before I

thought of my channel as, you know, it was

unique and creative and quirky.

Things you wouldn't see on YouTube would

be on my channel. Look at me

now, going on dates so I can get views

like that Awkward Since Birth guy.

Doing hotel reviews and Airbnb tours.

It's not really what I wanted to do, and I

thought, hey, I want to become a YouTuber.

What I'm doing now and what I wanted to

do, they're so different now.

Drifted apart so far away.

Originally, I wanted to tell personal

stories about myself. About my ideas

and opinions and thoughts of the world.

But apparently most people don't really

like my opinions. I don't really have very

popular opinions. I share my opinion and

then most people think I'm a psycho or

crazy guy, or I'm evil, I need to be

locked away.

So as you can imagine, I don't really feel

that excited to share my opinions anymore

if I'm just gonna get spat on. I think my

opinions are pretty harmless. It's not

like I'm

some kind of extremist or anything. I

thought my way of thinking, way of living,

you know, it's not normal. It's a little

bit weird and quirky and strange, but I

didn't think people would get upset or

offended by it,

but they do.

So I feel like, well,

if people are going to get so upset, I

might as well just do something else like

eating McDonald's Oh

well, I shouldn't complain. At least I'm

getting views for it.

It's pretty lowbrow entertainment, but

that's what people like.

Oh yeah, I got catfished. Surprise,

surprise, that Japanese girl wasn't real.

You know the one I was jumping up and down

about, getting all excited over? The

23-year-old? Well, we were doing

you know what over the voice message thing

again a few nights ago. After she

finished, she sent me a love heart

emoji, and then her whole Instagram

account just went blank. It said

Instagrammer instead of her Instagram

name. I clicked on her profile, all the

photos were gone. It was just like a blank

account. I Googled

it and it said if that happens, it means

the user probably disabled or deleted

their account, or Instagram banned them.

I was just so shocked. I had this feeling

in the back of my mind that it was too

good to be true. But when I heard her

voice and she was saying my name, I was

convinced she was real. I guess she was

real. She was, you know, an actual

Japanese girl, but she wasn't actually

gonna come here and do you know what with

me.

But I just don't understand what kind of

situation that was. I mean, who was she?

Usually when I get trolled or catfished or

tricked, it's usually some weirdo American

guy, you know, the type who spends all day

on Reddit or those weird forums.

But this was an actual Japanese girl.

It's not really something girls do, is it?

Trolling and catfishing.

So I've got a few theories. Number one,

my wife could have been behind it, and it

could have been my wife's friend. It was

definitely not my wife because she had a

different voice. Could have been my wife's

friend, and my wife was getting her to say

that stuff and just trick me.

I don't know if my wife would do that. I

mean, she's a 39-year-old grown woman. Is

she really going to be doing pranks like

that? And I don't think she's angry

with me because we decided to break up,

not because I cheated or anything.

So why would she be angry with me to do

something like that?

My second theory is maybe it's the

girlfriend or the wife of some weird

American guy who does hate me and does

want to troll or catfish me, and then she

just went along with it and he was getting

her to do it.

Or it was a Japanese

girl who watches my channel And she

really, really hates me, or she thought it

would just be a funny joke and she was

acting independently.

Which one sounds more likely?

I feel so stupid for actually believing

it. I guess a

part of me wanted to believe it so badly

that I just convinced myself. I felt sad

when I realized it was fake. When her

account disappeared, I actually cried.

I'm not joking. I actually had tears

rolling down my face because I felt like I

lost someone, but she was never actually

real.

It's the exact same feeling I had 2 years

ago. If you remember, I made a video

called Something Real Messed Up Happened

to Me, and I was kind of, you know,

mocking Ben Dean. I wore a beanie cap and

I took my glasses off, but the story was

real. I actually got catfished back then

as well by this Japanese

girl called June, but it was— it turned

out it was this guy from Reddit

pretending. He sent me a message admitting

to it.

I felt really sad about that as well

because I was convinced she was real. At

first I thought, well, I don't really care

if it's a catfish, I'll just have fun,

I'll go along with it. But then I started

believing that she's real. I started

creating like an emotional bond with her

just over messages.

I guess it's because I, I'm kind of lonely

now. It's kind of easy to fall

for stuff like that.

Oh well.

Oh, this will make you laugh. I actually

booked an Airbnb for us because I thought

she was definitely coming. It doesn't

matter, it's okay because I have to book

but I was hoping to move to a different

area, but I had to book that one here

because Because

she said she was going to get the late

flight, the last one, and there wouldn't

be any trains and she would have to get

the late night bus, which I looked up and

told her about. And then the bus stops

here in Seoul Station, so I thought I'll

get another Airbnb at Seoul Station so I

can easily go out and greet her and bring

So I got a new Airbnb just down the road.

It's a bit cheaper than this place.

I really need to start looking for cheaper

Airbnbs because I can't keep staying in

places like this. Too expensive.

Plus, if I get a cheaper place and have

extra money to spend on you know what.

Also, the idea of doing it with a you know

what in a cheap kind of scruffy

looking place is a bit of a turn-on.

I don't really like hotels because it's

too clean and it's too artificial feeling.

I like it when the place has a homely

But I hate it when they make you have a

shower. I know they want you to be clean,

but I'm not that dirty.

Because it's freezing cold and

I'm standing there shivering.

It's kind of embarrassing.

Well, that was a Korean McDonald's.

I hope it was fascinating.

It was actually quite cheap, 5,900 won.

If I went to the supermarket I would end

up spending 16,000 or 17,000

won, but that would last me for a few

days, so I guess it's not the same.

I thought I'd treat myself because

yesterday's video was such a success.

Yeah, it was a pretty good day yesterday.

Was it yesterday? Feels like it was ages

ago now. Yeah, it was yesterday.

I'm actually meeting someone else

tomorrow, this Korean girl who watches my

channel. She looks quite

nice. We're meeting quite

late. I'm not sure why. Unless— no,

let's not, let's not jump ahead of

ourselves again. The problem is I

get too excited and then I end up getting

catfished.

Yeah, life in Korea is not bad. I'm

meeting people,

moving around, seeing different places.

Much better than the German trip. Germany

trip. Germany trip was such a failure.

I feel much more comfortable in Seoul than

I did in Germany. Don't know why.

It's weird. Even though I look— I look

nothing like a Korean person, but I still

feel more— uh,

what's the word? I feel less out of place

here than I did in Germany.

I don't know why I care so much about

feeling like I belong somewhere. Maybe

it's like this thing mixed people have

where we're fixated on wanting to fit in

somewhere because we never really felt

like we fit in anywhere.

I don't know why I want to fit in though.

I mean, I look kind of weird. Would I

really want to be surrounded by a bunch of

other guys who look like me, they'd

probably be a bunch of losers just like I

Very confusing. I think you won't really

understand unless you are mixed, or unless

you grew up in a place where everyone

looks different to you.

It's not really a racism

thing because people aren't pointing at me

and laughing at me or anything.

I guess it's like a primal human thing to

want to be with people who are

kind of the same as you.

I don't know, maybe I'm talking a load of

rubbish. I mean, there's loads of

non-white English people in England, like

Black people, Muslim people, Indian

people. I don't think they have this,

this same kind of problem.

Or maybe it's just a personal thing.

Well, I'm gonna go now.
