Testing.

Testing,

testing.

Hello?

Broke my mic.

Uh, okay, YouTube.

Copy link.

Copy link.

Sent. Nobody's unsubbing. I lost like 200

subs in the last few weeks.

I lost quite a lot of subs last week.

I think it's because my, my titles have

been quite effective in getting people to

come back, but then they come back and

then they unsub. So it's like either

I do an efficient title and then they

don't see it because it's not efficient,

or I do an efficient title and then they

see it, come back, and then unsub.

So I'm kind of screwed, aren't I?

It's like I leave them alone and they'll

stay subbed, or if I keep poking them,

they'll wake up and then unsub.

Wake up. Do you know what I mean?

Now, why— I can't believe people would

unsub from me, the greatest YouTube

channel on the entire platform. You name

one other channel that's like mine. How

dare they? They have no taste. Hey, Big

Daddy, how you doing? Oh, thanks,

Gerbert. I'm not bad.

Feeling okay. Had an argument with the

you-know-what yesterday about the same

thing. Guess what it is?

Guess I can't really talk about it.

That's a cool painting. Thanks. No one

wants to buy it. I think the painting arc

Go back to school?

Oh my god, I've been going to school for

the past 4 weeks. You see, you don't even

know what I'm doing.

Literally been going to school for like 4

weeks now. I've had

like 4 pretty big near-extinction

events in the past 10 days.

Extinction of the relationship.

I'm gonna get in trouble if I talk about

it though. What's the warning?

Well, the warning is if you even dare to

unsub from me,

you don't even know what I'm gonna do.

What are you taking in school? I've been

learning Thai. I can't believe people here

don't even know what I'm up to.

You don't know what I'm up to? Come on,

I've been going on and on about Thai

school for the last month. How can you not

know? Oh my God.

Do I still work at the sandwich factory?

Yep, my ex-wife bought the sandwich

factory. My boss is the Australian guy,

and they don't pay me, but they let me

watch them do it, and that's like

my payment.

What tax you need to pay? I need to pay

for the tax that I didn't pay for the last

5 years, so I'm screwed.

I'm gonna be bankrupt. Still don't know

how much I owe. They're still— I don't

know what they're doing, checking my

statements or something.

Talk about the backstory of homeless

wanting to snipe you.

Well, he wanted to snipe me.

What happened to that guy? He doesn't

stream anymore.

My final warning, anyone even thinking

of unsubbing, don't even think about

it. We're gonna drop down to 111k subs

soon.

Johnny Somali. Johnny Somali barely gets

any views either, even after all the stuff

he's done.

He gets like a couple hundred. I was

getting more than that just by sitting in

my room whining about my wife.

I used to— I just— I used to destroy these

people in terms of viewership back in the

day. I used to get like 600-700 viewers

just by sitting in my room doing nothing.

These people have to go out, do IRL, do

crazy stuff like, I don't know, playing

music on a train, being annoying in

public, and they still barely got the

views I got.

All I had to do was sit in my room and

whine for like 8 hours.

My channel was the best.

Don't understand what you're trying to do

with your life. Um, I don't know either.

To find— I mean, the number one goal is to

find somewhere to live, find a good

partner, make money. It's basically the

same as anyone else.

Choose a nice place to live. Find someone

nice to live with. That's it, really.

It's not, it's not that epic or grand.

Trying to get— I'm trying to make some

videos about Thailand to try and get some

people who are interested in Thailand to

join the channel, but it's not going well.

I need a video to blow up about Thailand

to get like a Thai audience. Not a Thai

audience, I mean like a foreign audience

who are interested in Thailand. But it's

so difficult because I don't know how to

make a video about Thailand blow up.

It needs to be like a really good video

with a really good title. I don't

know how to do it. I have to be really

energetic, I guess, too, which I just find

really difficult to do.

Hey guys, I'm living in Thailand. It's

amazing. Oh my God. Like that.

Sam Pepper's Thailand shorts are doing

really well. He, he made like a little

short of the like bottles of Coke being

shaken in ice and he got 30 million views.

But his channel has no growth. He'll get

tens of millions of views on his shorts

But the channel doesn't grow and his

non-short content doesn't get any views.

Like, he'll make some highlights, IRL

highlights in Thailand. They'll get,

what, 8K views? So I don't understand the

short stuff. It's like you can get 10

million views on a short, but they, it

doesn't grow the channel or create like a

community. Sam Pepper's really good at

going viral, but he seems to suck at

growing a community. Whereas Ice Poseidon

sucks at making Shorts, but he's good at

growing a community.

I just suck at both.

How much money do you think 30 million

views on a Short would make? Like $100?

Shorts make such bad money. You already

have what you want. Yeah, but the, the

challenge is keeping it. There's 2

challenges in life: getting what you want

and then hanging on, keeping what you

got. I would say number 2 is actually

harder than number 1. Like, sure, you

could get a girlfriend. That's not the

hardest part. The hardest part is keeping

the girlfriend. Sure, you can get gains on

stocks, but can you keep the gains? You

could blow up on YouTube, but can you keep

it alive, I think that's more difficult

than part 1. I seem to be able to do part

1 but then fail at part 2.

Keeping hold on to what you got is

actually much more challenging.

Like, you could blow up on YouTube, but

can you make it last long? That's the

Like the whole dilemma of guys wanting

a hot girlfriend. They think

getting the hot girlfriend is the hard

bit, but imagine you got the hot

girlfriend. You would not be able to keep

her because you would just, I don't know,

The reason why you're a loser in the first

place is because you can't— you're not

driven and you don't have the motivation

to succeed at life and make a lot of

money. And even if you magically woke up

one day with a hot girlfriend, because you

don't have the prerequisites to get her in

the first place, you would just lose her

because she'll be like, oh, this guy's

actually kind of a loser.

She'll see that you're undriven,

unmotivated, and then just lose interest

Are you planning to be an English teacher

in Thailand? I don't think I would need to

know Thai to become an English teacher,

but the pay is so rubbish here in

Thailand. Like, most jobs pay a couple

hundred baht an hour. Like 200 baht an

hour is what, $4? Probably working

in a store or doing, I don't know, like a

very low entry, low skill job, you'd make

like 200 baht an hour, 150 baht an hour.

It's like $2, $3. You might as well

just make YouTube videos. Even if you get

like 1K views on a video, that's more

money than what most Thai people make in a

crappy job. A teacher probably makes like

400 baht an hour, which is like $6.

So I really don't see the point of getting

a job here if you can make YouTube videos,

because even 1K, 2K views is gonna get

more than what someone working makes.

In the classroom, the American people were

talking about jobs and they were saying

stuff like, I'm thinking of getting a job

here in Thailand, but the pay's so low. I

wish I could get a job at the embassy

because they pay like US wages. And I'm

just sitting there thinking, why don't you

just make a YouTube channel, idiots?

I feel kind of sad. I think half the class

is going to leave this week because I

think next week is actually the end of

level 1 because we've basically nearly

finished level 1. There's only a few pages

left in level 1 and most of them are not

going to level 2. I think some of them are

going back to America, some of them are

changing school. Like, one of them was

moaning about the school being bad Saying

he's going to change to a different

school. I don't know what he's talking

about. I think the school's good.

He was saying the teacher is not good and

she has no patience. And I don't really

blame her, to be honest. I think I would

have lost patience a long, long time ago.

Uh, good news, my last stream stayed

monetized. I made my full— how much did I

make?

Oh, oh my God, I made $20 from

that stream! You see how much I make when

it doesn't get demonetized? Oh my God.

$20 from AdSense for

3K views. That is freaking amazing.

Hopefully I'll make another $20 today.

How much is that in baht? Oh, that's like

880 baht.

I know, it's like 688. 688.

Times 20.

No, 688 times 15. Maybe some drama with

your girlfriend's mother would help. Oh,

thanks, Nicholas. Yeah, it would help end

the relationship if that's what you want.

What do you guys want me to end the

relationship for? Your entertainment?

Yeah, so if I made 688 baht per stream

times 15, that would pay my rent. I just

have to do 15 of these. Maybe I'll

sprinkle in some IRL, but the IRLs don't

really get more views.

Can you hear the tank water? I've got

2 tanks running filters, and all day all I

can hear is water trickling. Uh, my fish

are all alive, by the way. So I think I

know what happened to the other fish. My

girlfriend bought— well, I bought her some

fish. I bought her 8 fish and they all

died in the first day. And I think the

reason why is because she gave them a lot

of food and it was a small tank, and I

reckon the ammonia— the ammonia spiked and

poisoned them all. So this time I'm giving

them very small quantities of food, and

I've got a much bigger tank, so there's

more water to dilute it. Plus I have

shrimp eating up leftover bits, should

keep— and I have living plants, so that

should keep the ammonia down. Actually,

you're supposed to, you're supposed to

cycle the tank for a few weeks to let

ammonia-nitrifying bacteria

to build up, or you can just buy bacteria

to add to the tank. So I don't know if

I've got enough bacteria. Since they're

all alive, I'm saying, I'm reckoning, I'm

thinking that I do have enough bacteria.

How much did the fish tank cost? The fish

tank cost 600 baht, and then I bought

lights and I bought a filter, so in total

cost about 1,200 baht.

Which is a lot cheaper than how much it

costs in Japan. So I spent about $50 or

$60 setting up 2 tanks,

2 filters, got plants, gravel, fish,

everything, food. When I did this in

Japan, it cost me like $200. I remember I

was moaning about it because I wanted to

get fish for content. It ended up costing

me like $200.

I missed your IRL streams. The problem is

I don't know what to do, and my IRLs

always look really bad. It's either really

shaky or the quality is really pixelated.

It's just really frustrating. I wish I

could have a stream setup like the people

on Kick are doing, like Ice's crew.

How many girlfriends have you had in the

past 5 years? 5 years ago,

2017, wasn't it?

Had, uh, single mother, Tomoko,

Chihiro, Mila,

like 4, I think. 4, 5 if you include

my current one.

Most memorable content was the life-size

doll disaster. Yeah, I wish I could do

something like that again, like have an

idea, film it, do it. The problem is it

cost me so much money. The life-size doll

cost me like $1,000. I think it was

$1,500. I got it shipped from China.

And then the Airbnb cost me $900. So I

spent like $2,500 to make that content.

And the videos, the videos only got about

20K and then they got demonetized. I

probably made a couple hundred. So I lost

probably nearly $2,000 making that

content. So I'm not gonna make content

if it's gonna make me lose money.

I really thought it was gonna go viral and

get like a couple hundred thousand views.

All my good content is like 4 years old

now, 4 or 5 years old. I don't think I

have any good content from the last 2

years. The best thing I had was like the

crazy ex guy chasing me, and then I was

freaking out hiding. That was the best

thing that's happened, and it only got 20k

I don't really know what to do for

Do you think people run out of creativity?

Yeah, I think People just run out of ideas

after they've done everything, or done

nearly everything. I don't really know

what else I can do. I've like done

everything.

If I had— imagine I just had $2,000 to go

and make some content. Well, what could I

do? I actually thought about buying like

a— an entire lamb carcass to butcher.

That would probably get demonetized. I

don't know, butcher videos don't seem to

get demonetized. That shit had me cackling

like a demon when I saw it years ago. Oh,

thanks. Wow, I made like $30

already today.

Very generous.

Yeah, I wish I could come up with some

good ideas like I used to have back then.

If you don't go on the Christmas trip,

you can almost pay off your tax bill. No,

the tax bill is 18,000, not 1,000.

The The 1,000 is how much I, I collected,

how much I gathered so far.

I don't know why I just completely ran out

of ideas. It's weird,

isn't it? I wish I could go back in

time and think, what would 2019 Daniel do?

I think the stock market stuff really

ruined everything. Like, the stock market

made me not care about YouTube anymore

because I felt like I was making so much

money, and then I couldn't go back to

caring like I used to.

Also, I was influenced by a lot of other

YouTubers like, um,

I don't know, I saw other YouTubers

getting a lot of views doing things that I

wish I could do, then I tried copying them

and then it didn't work out.

I need to do something big that's kind of

weird, but I just don't know. The sec—

I mean The cereal doll idea was a great

idea, but it was just not executed well.

I mean, it was like a funny in,

in-house joke that we could meme on,

but it was kind of annoying because I had

to pixelate it and it got demonetized

anyway. But Seeing me struggle to

pick up the box and unbox it was pretty

funny. I was so weak. I wonder if I could

Visit random countries, complain about

everything. That was kind of like my idea

after the divorce. I wanted to be like

Karl Pilkington, that guy who travels and

just moans about everything. How's the

fish? The fish are good, I think,

although the betta fish goes kind of weird

sometimes. He's okay now.

Yeah, he's just swimming around calmly,

but last night, last evening, he was kind

of freaking out. He was swimming up and

then crashing down, then swimming up and

then crashing down into the gravel, and

then just like swimming up and down really

fast. I don't know what's wrong.

I think he's stressed because I put, I put

fish, new fish into the tank,

but they're just tiny fish,

so I don't think I've overstocked the

tank. I'm a bit sick, but I think

I'm getting better.

Stream a game? No, I'd definitely lose

half my viewers if I streamed a game,

unless there was some kind of social

interaction in the game.

Sam Pepper's ideas are pretty interesting,

I guess. Yesterday he went around Phuket,

rounded up about 5 girls,

brought them back to Ice's house in a van.

That's pretty, pretty ambitious for a

content idea and to do it all live.

They're all kind of ugly though. They all

have like very square looking big faces.

None of them are cute. They went to Patong

Street, which is where I went back in— I

went there in May, I think. The exact same

place. You can even see the same Turkish

kebab place.

Sam Pepper really gets stuff done,

doesn't he? There's no way I could do

that. Imagine me trying to round up girls

in a van. I'd look like a creep.

I really don't have like any content

It's hard. I think the reason why most

people don't do streaming or YouTube,

because it's hard to make content. Most

people don't have any ideas.

I thought maybe I could go to like a

barbershop, my girlfriend could film it,

do like ASMR traditional barbershop stuff.

It could work. Get a haircut.

Has anyone been to Koh Samui before? Is it

any good? I was thinking of going there,

but the plane ticket's so expensive. It's

like £200. Return flight, so I probably

have to pay for my girlfriend too. It's

£400. Hotel would probably be £200. It's

like £600. Food would probably be a couple

hundred. It'd be like £800 for

a few days there. Very expensive.

It looks like Phuket.

How much content could I get out of it?

The Phuket trip I made like $40 from

the videos I made.

I need to try and do more stuff.

Your attitude has changed. Remember when

you said you didn't want to meet Chihiro's

family, but you were insulted that they

didn't want to meet you? That was the

winning persona. Oh, thanks. Um.

Hmm, why was it winning? Because I

complained about something that I didn't

want to do.

It's hard to do that stuff now, so I'd get

What could I do now that's recently

happened? It has to be like very

hypocritical and contradictory.

It is weird I never met her family. I met—

I already met my girlfriend's mum and

sister.

Maybe I can speak a bit of Thai to them

next time. My girlfriend's

still going on about going to America to

make money. Can you guys help me explain

to her that, yeah, you can make more money

in America because the wages are higher,

but then the cost of living is also way

higher? Everyone's broke in America.

It's like thinking, oh, America you make

more money, so, oh, everyone in America

must be rich. I think everyone in America

is struggling and broke.

Oh, I knocked my table. Oh, whole tank

shaking. Sorry,

magnitude 8 earthquake happening inside of

the fish tank now. Yeah, help me explain

to her that you're not gonna make loads of

money if you just go to America. Because

you'll be spending it all on rent and food

and stuff. The rent is like $2,000 a

month. Have you seen Ice's condo in

Austin, Texas? It's barely any bigger than

my condo, and he said himself he's paying

like $3,600 a month.

And there's no way you just go to America,

make loads of money. If that was true,

then how come everyone's broke in America?

People say, oh, I make $100K a year, but

I'm still broke, still living with

parents. And you make like $100K a year.

America looks like it sucks. Like, it's

expensive, it's dangerous. A lot of crime,

gun crime, racial crime.

Everything's expensive.

You need a car to get around.

Just doesn't look like a good place.

Inflation's bad.

She says her sister went to Washington,

D.C. and made a lot of money. Doing what?

And I said, okay, but did she have to like

live in a room shared with 5 other people?

There's no way you have a comfortable

standard of life in America without

spending thousands a month.

Unless you live out in the middle of

nowhere. But then how are you going to get

This is just the worst idea I've ever

heard. I'm not going to America.

No way. My income in America—

I make like $1,000 a month. I would have

to live in a homeless shelter if I went to

America. How would I survive in America on

$1,000 a month?

I have a good life in Thailand because

it's cheap here, but if I was in America,

I would be— I can't even imagine.

I'd be like a homeless person.

Yeah, I'd need roommates or do like a

house share, live in a dormitory.

There's no way I could live like this on

1,000 a month. Any cons

to Thailand? Cons, I would say,

uh, the traffic is kind of insane.

And I really hate all the motorbikes.

There's so many motorbikes and they're so

loud. You try and go for a walk in the

evening and it's just like,

vrrrrr, all the time. Sometimes we

go for an evening walk and I feel like my

head is going to explode from the noise of

the traffic. There's just nowhere peaceful

to go and have a walk unless you live next

to a park. In Japan, you could go for a

walk in the town or in the city and

it's nice. Like, you walk along the river,

go to 7-Eleven, and it's nice and

peaceful. In Japan, so many people drive

electric cars or hybrid cars. No one rides

a motorbike in Japan apart from maybe like

the postman or a couple delivery people.

In Thailand, it's just like swarm of

motorbikes with really loud engines,

or like Toyota Hilux flatbed pickups with

black smoke spewing out of the exhaust

pipe. The cars and the motorbikes here are

so old and loud. There's quite a few

Teslas here and there, but it's just like

one or two here and there, but no one

really drives electric vehicles, and I

don't get it. Because it's like family

with 4, 4 family members, mum and dad and

2 kids on a moped. And I'm wondering, how

can they not just buy a car? And then my

girlfriend says, because they don't have

enough money. How can they not have money

when they've got kids and a family and

they've probably got a house, but they

don't have money to buy a cheap car? In

the UK, no one rides like a moped unless

you're 16 years old. And then you reach 17

and you just buy a car. You buy like a

cheap £200 2004 Peugeot

206 or something. Even a 17-year-old

teenager working at McDonald's can afford

to buy like a cheap car in the UK. But you

got like 30-year-old, 40-year-old people

who work full-time jobs and have families

riding mopeds. I don't understand it.

Just buy a car. Well, get on the train.

Oh, thanks BlossomGuri,

99-cent Super Chat. It won't show

up on the screen for some reason. The

mopeds are a real problem. I hate it.

Everyone rides it because, because the

traffic jams are so bad, having a moped is

the fastest way to get around.

The traffic is just really bad. I don't

know why it's so bad. They've got these

huge roads, 8 lanes, elevated highways,

and it still just gets really jammed up.

It's just horrible because it's so loud

and noisy. The only solution

is to stop people from riding mopeds,

and I don't know how you would do that.

When I go to school in the morning, the

trains are completely packed. I have to

wait in queue. For like 4

trains to come and go until I can get into

the train. There's so many people in the

train station in the morning when I go to

school. Actually, I feel like going

earlier makes no sense because I end up

standing there until like 8 anyway. So I'm

going later nowadays and it doesn't really

make any difference. I could leave at half

7 or leave at 8 and I still end up just

getting there around the same time.

So either you get stuck in a traffic jam

trying to drive to school, or you get on a

moped, which would be fastest but it'll be

dangerous, or you get the train and then

you're just like packed into the train. I

get squished into the train every morning.

It's not too bad, it's not as bad as it

was in Tokyo.

But I know I've now memorized exactly

which train to get on, like which

carriage. So I get onto— I

get onto the very back carriage, so when I

get off, the staircase is right in front

of me when I get off. And then I get on to

the next train and I go straight, I walk

straight until the opposite it doors,

because I know that my station, I have to

get off on those doors. I've basically

min-maxed, perfected my train run, so I

know exactly where to get on and off to

maximize speed efficiency when I have to

get off and get on the escalator.

I think the train is the best way to get

to school. I got a taxi one time, but it

was like 300 baht and we kept getting

stuck in traffic jams. Then my girlfriend

took me to school once. The traffic jam

was so bad, I just got out in the traffic

jam and walked the rest of the way because

it was faster. I walked the remaining 10

Oh, a few nights ago it was insane. There

was this massive lightning storm and the

lightning clouds were right above our

building, and the sound of the lightning

cracking was so loud it woke me up. It was

like a bomb going off. It was like— and

then it echoed. You could hear like the

sky tearing. Hear like the lightning

cracking and tearing through the sky.

Sky, it was insane. The sound, it was so

And then you look out the window, you can

see like the cracks of lightning shooting

down. It was really impressive to look at.

So loud. Never heard lightning

that loud before. You could actually hear

it crack. I don't know how to

describe it. I would describe it as like,

like the fabric of time being split apart

or something like that.

It has been raining a lot. It rained

almost all day yesterday. One time I went

to school and it suddenly started raining.

I got soaked. I had my hoodie and I just

held it above my head like that, but I

still got completely soaked.

Yeah, so things I don't like about

Thailand would be the traffic, the

motorbikes, The neighborhood

I live in is very rundown looking,

so there's just like overgrown

shacks full of— surrounded by junk, and

like some guy, shirtless guy, just sitting

there in a hammock, and it looks crap.

It's just like a plot of land and with

like a rusty corrugated metal shack,

loads of junk, and some naked guy just

sitting there. The streets look bad. They

do like a market under the, the motorway,

and it's hot and noisy and gross.

The whole neighborhood is crap, but

there's like a few very nice condos.

There's my condo, which is very nice, and

like another condo down the road. Which

are really nice with swimming pools and

concierge and security. But you go out and

it's just crap. The neighborhood's

rubbish. It just looks old. The buildings

are ugly and they're like concrete,

rebar poking out the concrete, and it's

like really old falling apart concrete

buildings and just plots of land with like

a naked man who doesn't look after his

land. It's just of junk. I never

want to go out of the condo. The train

station is nice. The BTS train station is

like a new, newly built metallic

structure. I just noticed the trains are

all built in Japan. There was a sign

saying built in Yokohama,

Japanese Electric Transport Corporation.

So all the trains here were built in Japan

from 2015, I think.

Yeah, I'm living in a pretty crappy area,

but my building is nice.

The area just— it needs complete overhaul.

Everything needs to be knocked down and

rebuilt. It's just crap.

It's not a nice area.

I want to live near Chatuchak Park so I

could go to the park and walk.

Is there a konbini? Yeah, there's a

konbini on the ground floor of my condo,

built into the condo. There's all these

shops and stuff,

but I really don't like the area outside

It's just hot and noisy and crowded.

Trying to walk down the street, you'll

watch out to not bump into people. It's

not great. It's not like Japan where it's

really quiet and peaceful. You just have

like a nice evening walk and you barely

see anyone because everyone's gone home

after work. Japan is such a different

vibe. Like, living in an apartment in

Japan, you live in like a neighborhood, a

residential neighborhood, and then you go

out for a walk And it's just completely

peaceful and quiet. You go to 7-Eleven,

buy some Famichiki or whatever, get a

beer, go to the park, play with the stray

cats, and it's dead silent. Maybe see like

an old couple walking around. It's just so

quiet in Japan, but here it's just

non-stop traffic.

The parks are kind of scary at night

because it's full of stray dogs and those

big lizards.

I don't really miss Japan, but I do miss

aspects like the quietness and

peacefulness. No one's—

you don't see like a swarm of mopeds in

Japan. You see maybe one or two.

What I really miss is I miss the big

rivers and the big,

the big expansive areas of land by

the rivers and like the trains going over

the rivers and you can just take a walk by

the river and it's so peaceful and so wide

and open. There's nothing like that here.

Everything here is like cramped and

compact and chaotic and

crowded and noisy.

I don't know where you could go for some

peace and quiet. Apart from the big

parks. You have to

go to maybe Lumpini Park, Bencha Kitty

Park, or Chatuchak Park to get any kind of

peace and quiet. Otherwise it's just

motorways, massive roads, motorbikes,

or you hide in one of the really luxury

shopping malls, air-conditioned.

Or you move out of Bangkok and you live

in the middle of nowhere where it feels

like you're living in the, like, Vietnam

War jungle or something. It feels like

you could expect to see a bunch of

American Helicopters transporting troops

swooping at any time. It looks like, it

looks like the scenery in those Vietnam

War movies, just like jungle and

nothingness and blazing heat. I feel

like I'm gonna see Willem Dafoe emerge

from the jungle with his like

army vest on and screaming and throwing

grenades. That's what it feels like.

Why does whenever in like Southeast Asia,

Asian countries, and it's jungle, you just

think of Vietnam War movies? Because

that's what it's like.

Bamboo booby traps,

napalm going off or something like that.

That's all I can think of. When I was in

Vietnam, all I could think of was like,

oh, imagine 50 years ago there were these

American swarms of helicopters

swooping in, dropping off troops. Must

have been such a cool sight.

The lizards, yeah, they're called monitor

lizards. Someone said I was wrong.

They said they're not a

type of Komodo dragon, they are Komodo

dragon, which is a type of monitor lizard.

I don't know, I'm not freaking Steve

Whatever, dude, who cares.

But I definitely heard that it could kill

a whole cow by biting it within 10 minutes

from the bacteria infection.

I wonder if this stream's been demonetized

Not monetized.

Last stream was, was lucky. It got

demonetized. I changed the title. It got

remonetized. Stayed monetized too.

I'm not making this stuff up. I'm just

repeating what I heard from somewhere

else. So if I'm wrong, it just means the

sources I got it from were wrong.

You can trust my information unless the

source I got it from was wrong. I've got

this massive ulcer. Uh, you know under

your tongue you have like little floppy

bits of flesh? I don't know what those

are. Does anyone else have like, like tiny

little tentacles of flesh under the

tongue? They're like this long, half a

millimeter long, and they just kind of

stand up under your tongue. I've got an

ulcer on that. And it hurts so

much. It's not too bad because I can move

my tongue and I don't feel pain,

so I can talk. But if I move my tongue

too much, then it does hurt. It's like

this massive white patch. I think I

was getting lazy with the vitamin C again.

How's my battery doing? Oh, the mic

battery is kind of low. I might have to

switch it.

I'm always getting weird problems in my

mouth now, like ulcers and painful lumps.

Don't know what's wrong. I think I'm not

eating enough fruit again.

I need to buy more apples or something. I

got vitamin C supplements up there,

and my poop was kind of constipated. So

that's better than runny, I guess.

Someone said maybe I have a parasite.

Yeah, what if I've got like a massive

tapeworm in my stomach? How would you get

rid of it? What if I've got like this

massive 2-foot-long worm in my gut?

That's scary.

I don't know what's wrong with me. I feel

fine, but my poops are not fine.

Do you want to see my new tank? I haven't

showed it yet. It's freaking massive, and

I got plants and new fish. I think it's

safe to show.

Oh, look at the size of my tank! It's

freaking huge. I got neon tetra and I got

shrimp and the Hello?

Testing, testing, testing. The mic

died just as I changed the view.

I was saying, look at my new tank, it's

freaking huge. When did

it cut out? Yeah, I've got a huge fish

tank, it's got neon tetra, I got shrimp.

The shrimp were all pregnant when I got

them, but now they don't have the eggs,

so they've laid the eggs somewhere. I

don't see the shrimp a lot of the time,

they hide in the little log.

So I think— I hope they've laid the eggs

somewhere and we're gonna get shrimp

babies. I'm scared the betta fish is gonna

eat them all though. The betta

fish doesn't care about the little neons.

Look, he's just swimming around. He

doesn't care.

I did a 25% water change.

Yesterday. I need to get one of those

pumps, you know, the vacuum siphon to

clean the gravel. So I

might go to the market again next week.

And look how clean my water is. It's so

clear looking.

Look, he likes me. I haven't fed

them yet. Might give them a few pellets.

The annoying thing is the pellets are too

big for the neon tetra to eat, so I have

to grind it down.

I got this premium

betta fish food.

Give them a few. Of these.

Wait, why does fish food stink so much?

It's having its breakfast.

It's nice having a fish tank. I'd

recommend you all buy a fish tank. It's

fun. I lost like 20 viewers after

changing the view to the fish tank. I had

80 viewers, now I've got 60. What?

You guys really hate anything that's not

my face. Do you?

I don't get it. Why, why do you leave when

I change the view to something else,

like a game or a fish tank or food?

Why do people just leave when I change it

away from my face?

Look, my view numbers just dropped when I

changed the camera. That is crazy.

You guys are weird.

He's— they probably thought, oh, he's

gonna talk about fish now, leave.

You see why I don't do anything? I

literally do anything like IRL and then

people think, oh, he's not showing himself

and talking, boring. You see why I'm stuck

to just doing this?

Crazy. I literally can't do anything or

talk about anything else.

Okay, back to talking about I don't know.

My life falling apart. I'm ruined. Broke.

No cereal.

Look, numbers are going back up now.

17. Did you guys seriously just leave

because I showed the fish tank and now you

came back? Why? You don't care about the

fish that much? Come on, it's interesting.

I made an ecosystem.

Fine, I won't talk about the fish then.

Do fish have goals? The fish goal Fish's

goals are swim around in a circle all day,

look for food.

They don't do anything, they just swim up

and down. Sometimes they chase each other.

Look, I have this massive, massive drop

now in the viewership Uh, the viewership

bar charts. It has like a line chart

tracking your concurrent viewers, and it

just crashed when I showed the fish tank.

Like a stock chart. It looks like a stock

chart going up and down. And as soon as I

showed the fish, it went like that.

That's insane.

You could exercise while on stream. I'm

pretty sure people just click off if I did

that, so I'd be talking less.

You can't find something much more boring

than fish. The fact that I find fish so

interesting, what does that mean? That I'm

really boring as a person? I love fish.

They look so cool. Come on. They just

float in the water and they eat the

pellets and you buy little plants.

It's more interesting than people who get

like a train set or build like a little

miniature city.

But some people have like an ant's nest as

a hobby. They'll get a big fish tank, but

instead of putting fish in it, they'll

fill it with dirt and build like an ant

colony. That's pretty cool as well.

I was watching the Kurzgesagt video series

about ants, all the different wars,

like World War Ants. I didn't realize

there's so many different like empires and

kingdoms of ants that have this global

world war constantly for millions of

years. And they, they like squirt acid at

each other, they enslave each other. Now

I'm gonna get demonetized for saying that.

I think the S-L-A-V-E word is messing me

up. The ants

do it, not humans. It's still monetized.

Ants are crazy. They just exist to fight

each other and attack each other's

colonies and steal each other's babies.

They're basically the same as humans but

on a tiny scale, and they farm and

they, they do agriculture and they,

they look after aphids. And there's some

ants Where they, they build like a home

out of leaves and they glue the leaves

together and make the home inside of the

leaf. And they allow access to the, the

tree to other insects if it's beneficial

to the colony. And they kind of

micromanage the ecosystem they live in.

They're really cool.

Their entire existence is like humans.

To, to go to war and to survive and to

build colonies, to wipe out their enemies'

colonies. Imagine if they,

they had hands and were bigger.

They would probably wipe out humans.

So if anyone ever says, oh, why do humans

go to war? Why can't they just live at

peace? Literally everything on this planet

is at war with each other.

Even ants and insects and colonies of

wasps and stuff like that. Everything is

at war at all times.

At least humans have some breaks in war.

In the animal kingdom, there's no such

thing. Everything's just constantly at

war.

I'm at war with the YouTube algorithm.

I kind of like the leafcutter ants,

they're pretty cool, but I think the most

powerful ants are the army ants.

How goes the painting selling business?

No one— no one's really shown any

interest. I kind of gave up on painting.

I haven't painted in weeks. Maybe I'll get

back into it when I'm bored of the fish.

I've been doing a lot of practice drawing

faces at school. My textbook is

just covered in faces and doodles and like

anime girls and The teacher saw me and

she, she made me show it to her.

It was a bit embarrassing. She said, who

are these girls? I said, it's my

girlfriend. And then everyone laughed.

I keep trying to answer the questions. In

the weirdest way I can think of.

I don't know if that's a good thing,

because it's kind of embarrassing,

because she, she went on and on last time.

So she would teach us new grammar, and

then she would make us ask everyone in the

class a question using the new grammar.

So the American guy asked me, have I

ever tried Thai food? And obviously I have

tried it, but I thought it'd be funny if I

say, no, I've never tried Thai food. And

then the teacher was like, really? You

never tried Thai food, but your

girlfriend's Thai? And then it was like

going on and on asking if I really had

never tried Thai food. And I was like,

yeah, because I just wanted to go with it

and stick with my answer.

So I thought it'd be funny. So I try and

think of funny answers to the questions.

Every time they ask me something, I say,

I try and incorporate McDonald's in the

answer. So now every time people ask me a

question, they ask me about McDonald's.

So we learn the word how, and then

they'll create a sentence like, how did

you get to McDonald's? And then the other

example question we learned the grammar

for was, was if. Oh yeah, we learned how

to say if last lesson. So the person

next to me asked me, if, if there's no Big

Mac at McDonald's, what will you do? And

then I said, if there's no Big Mac at

McDonald's, I will not eat. And then the

teacher was like, really? You're not going

to get French fries?

Uh, classmates still struggling with pom

and chan? Yeah, the Filipino girl kept

saying di-chan. I mean, she kept saying

kun instead of di-chan. Every time the

teacher had to, to like bring

it up and tell her to stop saying kun when

you need to say di-chan. I don't

understand it. 20 days into the course

and you're still saying you instead of I.

It's like, I imagine I'm talking to

you and I ask you, uh, what are you

going to do today? And then you answer,

uh, you are going to watch TV. No, you

say, I am going to watch TV. It's like the

most basic part of the sentence. How are

you not getting it correct by this point.

I think it's because they hear kun and

they're just repeating back what they

hear. Instead of saying I,

they say you. I have never done that.

The Russian guy keeps doing it as well.

He would keep saying kun instead of pom.

And then he'll say pom instead of kun.

How are you still making these basic

mistakes?

The biggest mistake I make is sometimes I

forget the question particle at the end of

the sentence.

But I think I'm the best in class.

Actually, I'm so good, I need to be

careful because if I ask my classmate,

when it's my turn to make a question and

ask my classmate, I gotta make sure he

understands what I'm asking.

So I can't, I have to be careful and not

use words that I think he probably won't

understand. So I just keep it simple,

like du TV, which means watch TV.

Yeah, my is the question particle, but you

don't use the question particle if you

already have a question word in the

sentence. Like if you have why, where,

how, when in the question, you don't use

my because it'll be like double question.

But if there's no question word, then you

use the question particle.

Yeah, we learned a lot of good grammar

last lesson. If is a really good word to

know. And, um,

yeah, we learned if there is no

thing, what are you gonna do? Like,

if there's no train, how will you come to

school? And I can now

form very long sentences like,

uh, tomorrow I will go to Phuket with

my friend by train at 2

PM. I can now create very long sentences.

And I can also ask things like why or how,

have you ever. And then I could also ask

why have you never. Done XYZ.

But I still don't understand a word people

are saying outside, which is kind of weird

because I feel like I can ask and say

nearly everything. But then I don't

understand a word people are saying

outside because it just sounds like yum

yum yum yum yum yum yum yum. Just sounds

like that. I don't understand a word

How come I don't understand what they're

saying? That's kind of weird.

When I'm watching Ice's streams, I'm

trying to hear what the Thai people are

saying. I, I swear I don't understand a

Apart from you know, like Yi sip bat,

Sam sip bat,

Kop kun ka, Kop kop kun ka. Those are

the only words I'm picking up when I'm

watching Ice's streams. When he has

Thai people. Yeah, I need to watch some

drama TV shows where it's like basic

conversation because Thai people are not

sitting there saying, I don't know,

like, pom kun prung

ni kun tam marai. They're not saying like,

tomorrow what are you doing? My name is

Jeff. Tomorrow I watch TV. They're not

saying stuff like that. It's saying normal

Thai conversation stuff.

What happened to Deepak? He has to come

back to Thailand, doesn't he? They let him

go to India to go to his mum's funeral,

but the,

the contract or the conditional terms

where he had to come back or else ICE

would have to pay a massive fine. What if

he just never comes back?

Suspenders really fell off. Those clips of
