talking about some stuff today again [TtUVYiw5LPI]

Testing,

testing.

Hello.

Ahem.

Testing.

Okay, finish testing.

Nice curved monitor.

Oh thanks, I bought it myself.

It's pretty good for the price.

Uh, what are we talking about today?

I don't know,

today's stream is gonna be about 6 hours,

I think.

Yeah, 6 or 7.

Just a short stream

because I'm so busy for Christmas.

So many things to do.

Not— it's strangely very cold.

Today, it's like 23 degrees, but it feels

really cold when I step onto the balcony.

Feels like UK summer.

Don't know why it's so cold.

It's weird.

20 degrees feels cold now, but in England,

20 degrees would be like a pretty warm

summer's day.

And then 12 degrees, 15 degrees would be

like normal.

And kind of cold.

So I'm leaving Thailand March.

I booked my plane tickets already.

She booked her tickets to America as well.

So it is officially done.

Kind of surprising.

You know, last week or maybe just 2 weeks

ago, I honestly thought I was going to

stay here until May.

And then go home and then Japan September.

Now everything just suddenly changed.

I even bought yen.

I bought Japanese yen in cash, sent to my

mum's house, £500, which I can't use now

because I'm going to Japan straight away.

So I ended up asking my sister if she

wants to buy it.

She said, okay.

I feel kind of stupid.

Why do I keep buying yen in cash off the

internet when there are apps that let you

just buy yen on the app and then you can

use it?

I only just realized this.

So I'm going to be flying into Fukuoka.

And then I'm gonna spend a couple days

there, and then I'll buy the electric bike

and then try and set up the stream.

Then we're gonna bike all the way to—

I'm scared saying these Japanese places is

gonna get me demonetized.

I'm gonna bike to Shikoku.

Apparently I can't bike over the Seto

Bridge.

I didn't know that.

I have to bike across all the little tiny

chain islands across the smaller bridges.

Ship the monitor to your mom's house.

I could.

Should I?

It's only like a $100 monitor,

cuz I've got like a $500, $400 nice MSI

curved monitor at home.

I could sell that and then just use this.

But then posting it— I've got the box that

I bought it with, so it's easy to box up.

Postage would probably be like $20, I

think.

Could do, maybe.

Don't know.

Will you stream during Christmas?

I think she's off on Christmas.

She's working tomorrow, so I might stream

tomorrow as well,

and then maybe not on Christmas.

I feel so tired.

She keeps going to bed really late because

she starts playing this mobile game, which

is like League of Legends, and then she

keeps losing, and then she's like revenge

playing it to try and get a win, and then

she'll just stay up until like 1 AM

playing it, and then she'll say, you go to

bed first, and I'm like, how am I supposed

to go to bed with all the lights on?

You think I just put my head down on a

pillow and then switch off?

I need complete silence.

I need complete darkness.

So I end up going to bed at like 1 AM, and

so now I'm ready.

I feel like I'm still half asleep.

I woke up at 10 AM, couldn't wake up.

I understand it because I used to be

really hooked on this game which was like

League of Legends on mobile called

Vainglory.

I don't know if anyone knows of it.

I think the game developer shut down,

but it was a really good game.

I was really hooked on it.

And but you keep losing and then you get

angry at the game, so you're like, oh my

god, I'm definitely gonna win the next

one.

And then you lose again, and then you

don't want to stop until you get a win.

And then you end up playing— I nearly

smashed my phone because I got so mad at

this stupid game.

I hate those games now.

I can't play them.

They're like League of Legends.

You got to capture little checkpoints on a

map, 5 versus 5 online.

There's so many of them, they all have the

same concept, that you do get very

addictive.

I couldn't stop playing it.

I remember, it was horrible.

I'm assuming you're still single and

broke.

I'm not single, but I'm broke.

I finally managed to sell enough stocks to

get enough money for my tax bill.

So at least that's a relief, I guess.

It's the end of the relationship?

I wouldn't say it's over.

I don't know, depends what happens next

year.

If she can get some free time and come

over to the UK, then we could meet again.

But I don't know what's gonna happen.

It's pretty unlikely I'll find someone new

so quickly, so I doubt it'll be over.

Make a coffee?

I already had a coffee.

I don't know if I'll have another one.

It's making my teeth go yellow.

I still don't know why she wants to do

this.

I guess she's convinced she could go there

and make like, I don't know, $100K in a

year.

People say because she's a pharmacist, she

could get a job in the pharmacy industry.

Okay, and they're pretty good paying jobs,

can get $100K a year.

Yeah, maybe, I don't know.

I thought you need good English.

If you've got a degree, then moving to

another country and getting a job, I

think, would be pretty easy.

Plus, you gotta speak the language.

I think she speaks English good enough.

The main number one reason I can't move to

Japan is because I don't have a degree.

And I don't have any skills.

That's why I can't get a job in Japan.

Who's going to hire me?

I don't have a degree.

I think having a degree is actually a

requirement to apply for a work visa in

Japan.

I might be wrong.

I don't know.

I'm pretty sure, like, the JET program or

English schools require you to have a

bachelor's degree in something.

Maybe it's changed or I was wrong.

I'm pretty sure you need a degree though.

The best combination is when you have a

degree in something important like

computing, programming, and you speak

Japanese, then you can get a good job in a

Japanese country— company.

Then you don't have to be an English

teacher.

Yeah, so not having a degree really makes

it hard if you want to move to another

country and get a job.

But to be honest, I don't want to get a

job.

What am I gonna do?

I'd rather just go there as a tourist for

a few months, bike about, pretend I'm

living there.

Oh wow, thanks, Nicholas.

I don't know, do you think it's like a

woman's test?

She's testing to see what I would do,

if I would come along with her or not.

I mean, if, if your girlfriend moved to, I

don't know,

Somalia, and she was like, why don't you

want to come with me?

I don't think it's unfair for you to

refuse to go if you don't want to go to

some weird place.

America looks so boring.

What am I gonna do there?

I've watched Ice Poseidon stream in

America and it will just— it looks weird

and boring.

Like just massive expanses of road,

buildings, and then weird people

everywhere.

I did not watch Ice's streams and ever

think, wow, that looks so amazing, I

really want to go there.

It literally looks like GTA in real life.

USA has good food.

I don't know about that.

What do they have?

They just pump everything full of sugar,

corn syrup and stuff, don't they?

I'm not really— don't know if you could

tell or not, I'm not really a big foodie.

I honestly don't care about food as long

as it doesn't taste weird or it's not

spicy.

I just need to eat food so I am not

hungry.

I don't really care that much

about the food.

Yeah, America just looks boring.

I don't have the money either.

I'd rather go to Japan.

Do something interesting like ride a bike.

It's funny, I said next time I go to Japan

I'm not gonna do the bike thing again, and

now I'm literally going to do the bike

thing again.

Why do I always not do what I say I'm

gonna do?

I said I wasn't gonna do the bike thing

again because I was just riding around in

circles and it was boring and tiring, but

this time we're gonna ride in a straight

line and and get an e-bike so it won't

really be tiring.

So I don't think we'll have the same

problems as before.

And I'll get sun cream so I won't sunburn.

And, uh, what else?

I'll have a much lighter backpack this

time, so that won't really be a problem.

The heaviest things will be these 2, which

weigh about 600 grams each.

And today I had a banana bun and an apple,

like a banana cake, banana bread cake

thing,

because every time I stream I get really

hungry and I need to eat, so I ate before

streaming.

I just don't really— I never understand

why anyone would want to move to America

because they think they can get rich.

My mum moved from Malaysia to the UK.

Is she rich?

Well, she only does cleaning, so I guess

that's different.

I don't think my mum feels like she's

rich.

Okay, she's got a house and a car, but so

does her brothers and sisters in Malaysia.

Actually, her brothers and sisters in

Malaysia have multiple properties.

They rent out condos and stuff and have

businesses.

She's rich by Malay standards.

Yeah, if you do like a pound to ringgit

conversion.

But if you look at their lifestyles,

it's not like my mum's

living this super luxury lifestyle.

She still has to go to work every day and

pay taxes and bills and stuff.

She makes— she probably makes like double

or triple the money her relatives do, but

then she has to pay double or triple the

expenses because she lives in the UK.

Apart from the bike ride, what are you

gonna do in Japan?

Um, I don't know.

After we do the bike ride, I'll probably

find an apartment and then settle down for

a couple months and then just use the bike

as transport so I don't have to pay for

trains.

Can just move around, won't ever have to

get on the train.

And if I'm bored, I'll just go on a bike

ride.

I won't really do it for content anymore.

It'll just be like, after we've done the

bike marathon, I'll be done with the bike

for content and then I'll just use it as

like an everyday tool.

The problem is I need to find a place

where I can store the bike

when I book my apartment.

I found some pretty cheap apartments

around Shin-Osaka.

They're like £800-900 for a month.

Full apartment, kitchen, everything.

Oh, one thing I didn't consider is when

we're going from hotel to hotel along the

way, how am I gonna do laundry?

I need to buy more underwear, but

eventually I'll run out.

Flip them inside out.

Unless I get a hotel that has a laundry

room, and then I just do it at hope it

dries overnight.

Yeah, and then after the bike ride, I

guess I'll just get an apartment and then

just have like a daily routine

for a few months and head back to the UK,

make some vlogs.

I want to make some vlogs this time, not

only do live streams.

Does your girlfriend not want to move to

the UK?

She said she doesn't want to go to the UK

because she can't get a job there,

and she can get a green card in America

because her uncle has a business and he

can sponsor her.

I don't know how to get a work visa for

the UK.

Well, maybe it'll work out and she'll make

loads of money.

But I don't really want to be part of it.

It doesn't interest me.

So what I'll do is I'll probably

try to 24/7 stream on the second channel

because the streams on this channel, they

keep getting demonetized.

It's so random.

Like, the last stream was great.

As soon as I ended the stream, it was

green and stayed green.

But the one before it stayed yellow for

nearly 2 days until it got reviewed, then

went green.

So I only made like $6 from ads on that

entire stream because it was only

monetized for maybe

500 views.

I don't know.

I get all the views in the first 2 or 3

days.

So I'm thinking just do the streams on the

second channel where it doesn't have this

problem,

and then I'll try and make some videos to

put onto the main channel.

I think that's a good idea.

I still don't even know if I'll be able to

stream in the countryside very well.

It would be very low quality, like

probably even 480p, because the connection

probably won't be very strong.

Are you doing anything for Christmas?

Probably not.

She's going to work tomorrow and then we

might go out in the evening, get a meal or

something.

I don't know if we're doing gifts.

I didn't buy anything.

I don't know what to buy.

Christmas just doesn't feel like Christmas

here.

You need the cold and the darkness for it

to feel like Christmas,

otherwise it doesn't really feel like it.

I got that little Christmas tree, it

doesn't really help.

Now I can't see the chat.

Feels more Christmassy now.

Yeah, it just doesn't feel like Christmas.

I kind of wanted to be home for Christmas.

Maybe next year.

If I put it there, then you can't see me.

If I put it here—

Oh, you can kind of see it.

I miss Christmas at home.

My mum always makes nice food and then

it's cold outside and cozy inside, and the

cat's there, you got the fireplace.

That's what makes Christmas feel like

Christmas.

Nothing about Thailand feels Christmassy.

Did you buy your mum anything for

Christmas?

Nope, can't be bothered.

Oh, thanks, Nicholas.

I feel like that would be really boring.

I want to go to Japan.

I feel so bored of Thailand.

I feel like how Ice was feeling when he

was stuck here for so long.

There's nothing else to do apart from like

go to the mall, go to a market,

go to a waterfall.

I feel kind of relieved to be going,

actually.

We drove out of Bangkok yesterday to go to

a market, and I don't know what is wrong.

Everywhere outside of Bangkok looks so Run

down.

I feel so depressed when we leave Bangkok.

It's like stepping into the Stone Age or

something.

It's like leaving it and then going into a

different country when you leave and enter

Bangkok.

I really hate it going out of Bangkok.

I went to some floating market and it was

so boring.

She really loves markets, but I really

hate them.

They, they really smell.

They stink of fish all the time.

They don't sell anything tasty.

Everything they sell there is just weird.

Like weird fruit, weird-looking meat,

fish, squid.

Everything's weird and smelly and it's so

cramped and there's people everywhere.

We went to some seafood restaurant.

I just sat there not eating anything

because everything smelled weird.

I hate it.

And then we went to some other restaurant

because they had Western food.

They just had chips and chicken nuggets.

Every time we go to one of these kind of

restaurants/cafés outside of Bangkok, they

always have the same menu.

It's like all Thai food.

I don't know, like fish and everything

shrimp, like shrimp and bean sprouts.

And then they'll have one little page of

Western food.

And it's always just chips and chicken

nuggets or sausage.

I always just get a sausage and chips and

then it takes like 40 minutes to make it.

All the Thai food comes out straight away,

almost like 5 minutes.

My girlfriend's food comes and I'm sitting

there for like half an hour waiting for my

food.

Every time I think that they're defrosting

the food or something.

Like they have the sausages and the

nuggets in the freezer because no one—

they don't prepare them because Thai

people just get Thai food.

So I end up having to wait because they're

probably defrosting it or something.

Sitting there for like half an hour for

some stupid chips.

All the food sucks in these markets.

It smells so bad.

I don't know what this smell is.

So really musky, old person kind of musk

to all the food.

I think Thai taste buds are like the

complete opposite of British taste buds.

They put salt on the fruit, they put honey

and sweet stuff all over everything, and

then they got like these herb meats,

seasoned herb meats.

Which just smell weird.

I don't know how to describe it.

It's like car freshener, like urinal

freshener

with meat.

It just smells really weird.

And the fruit is really weird as well.

They've got this thing called a rose

apple.

It's like a red bell pepper, but it's like

a family of apple.

So it's got like the texture of an apple,

but like that very dull flavorless flavor

of a bell pepper.

It's like a really diluted apple.

It just tastes weird.

All it is just weird stuff like jackfruit,

durian, the jungle fruits.

I don't like this stuff.

It smells weird.

It tastes weird.

It looks weird.

I don't want it.

Yeah, the bananas are weird as well.

They're like this big.

They don't just have normal big bananas

unless you go to a proper supermarket.

They sell these tiny little bananas like

that, and when you bite into it, there's

something in the middle of the banana,

like,

like a spine inside of a banana.

You can hear like a little crunch when you

bite into it.

The hell is that?

Since when did bananas have a spine?

You take one bite of it and it's weird

because it tastes like a banana, but it's

kind of chewy.

It's not like really buttery soft like the

bananas we get in Europe.

Everything's just weird.

I don't like it.

Smells like fish.

Everyone looks weird as well, all like fat

and short.

Why are they all fat?

I just hate it so much.

I just look like this the whole time, like

my face was like— oh my

God,

just walking around like this.

Because I was gagging from the smell.

Like, they just have— they hang up salted

rotting fish just hanging there.

I couldn't stop my face from looking like

this,

like I was gonna cry.

It stinks so bad.

Oh, just take me back to civilization,

please.

It's not just Thailand.

I hate markets everywhere.

Even in Japan, I hate the markets.

They stink of fish.

They sell weird stuff like whale bacon.

I went to a market in Taiwan as well.

A wet market.

It was disgusting.

Just like fish guts everywhere, pig heads,

chicken feet.

What is wrong with these people?

Why don't you go to 7-Eleven and buy a

sandwich, for God's sake?

Selling pig guts like that, all the blood

dripping everywhere.

The smell was disgusting.

I hate markets so much.

Why would you want to go to the market?

Like a wet market with live animals being

chopped up?

Just take me to a nice clean supermarket.

I hate these places.

It's like they go down to the market And

then they pick a live chicken to get it

butchered, and then they take all the guts

home.

I don't know, feed it to their dog or

something.

What a life.

I can't believe people still live like

it's the 1500s or something.

Like, go down to the market, your butcher

chops off the chicken's head, plucks it

for you.

Where I'm from, we go to Tesco and we get

a frozen chicken breast

That's in the freezer.

You know, there's a thing called

refrigeration that keeps things fresh.

You don't need it to be alive until the

very last second.

I'm just from a completely different world

from these people.

Ah, when you're from the UK and then you

come to those places like the markets,

everything's just so bizarre.

I can't believe people live like this.

So yeah, I went to a market.

I went to some restaurant cafe.

Boring.

Would you kill an animal and eat it?

Not unless I had to.

I don't even know how to.

You got to skin it.

And gut it, cut its head off.

Disgusting.

Definitely, I'd rather just starve,

eat a leaf or something.

Meat is pretty disgusting.

It's like rotting flesh,

but it tastes so good.

Fish are disgusting too.

You chop its head off,

skin it.

I eat meat because it tastes good,

but I never want my meat to look like the

animal.

That's why I hate seafood.

It always looks like the animal.

You get a shrimp and it's got its legs and

heads on it.

When you eat animal meat, it never comes

the way the animal looks like.

It's always like a steak or a fillet or a

chop.

Seafood is too small to turn into steaks.

That's the problem.

I actually did once try to kill a rabbit,

but I couldn't do it.

I just saw it.

It was lying there.

I think Mimo caught it, and its guts were

coming out of its stomach.

I wanted to put it out of its misery.

I couldn't do it, so I just went back into

my bedroom, left it there.

I wanted to like hit it with a brick or

something, but I couldn't do it.

It's too disgusting.

Maybe I could have pushed it back in and

then like sewed up the wound.

I don't think it would have survived.

Haven't seen this channel in a year.

What have I missed?

You missed me

Trying to keep my channel a secret from my

girlfriend, then she found out, then she

got mad, and then I cheated with this

Korean woman, and then I broke her arm and

ditched her when she was in the shower in

Japan, and then I flew back to Thailand,

signed up to a Thai language school, got a

visa,

then just been traveling around Thailand,

going to Japan soon.

Gonna do an epic bike trip.

I found out you can't bike over the Seto

Bridge into Shikoku.

Apparently you've got to take the small

bridges across the island chains, which

could be fun as well.

I really wanted to bike over that big

suspension bridge.

You didn't break her arm.

Well, she broke her arm because of me.

I said, let's go on a bike ride, and then

she fell off the bike.

So it's like kind of my fault.

You just said that.

Oh yeah.

What about the bridge?

Yeah, I'm like half asleep today.

I'm not feeling very sharp.

I don't know why.

I think because I went to bed late.

No one wished me Happy Christmas.

Well, it's not Christmas yet.

December's almost over.

I think I did pretty well

milking December.

I made nearly $1,100 for December, which

is a lot more than I usually make.

I've been just spamming out videos.

I'm gonna take a break in January.

January is going to suck.

I'm not sure exactly when the CPM goes

down the toilet.

Is it after Christmas or after December?

CPM is still pretty good.

But I'm running out of things to talk

about.

I spammed out so many videos with, with as

many topics as I could think of.

Now I don't know what to talk about.

I talked about giving up on Japan, going

back to Japan, leaving Thailand, ex-wife.

The ex-wife video did the best, got the

highest views.

Why I Didn't Love My Ex-Wife.

Why is that the most viewed video?

I thought the ex-wife stuff, people were

bored of it by now.

Next year we'll do like living in Japan

miniseries for a few months.

And then back home to the UK for a while

because I'm broke and I can't really

afford much traveling straight away.

Everyone's bored with the ex-wife stuff?

Then why is it getting the most views?

You got more views than anything else.

The ex-wife stuff's the only thing that

still works.

Name one thing that still works that's not

the ex-wife stuff.

Maybe like I'm quitting YouTube again.

There's literally nothing I could do.

Maybe just suddenly moving countries would

get some people to come back.

I'm so burnt out.

I don't know what to talk about.

Yeah, I put alerts saying don't bully

Daniel when I used to get a lot of hate

comments.

That must have been back in 2019 or

something.

You haven't done anything for a year.

What?

I went to Vietnam and then I went to Japan

and then I went to a Thai language school

for 4 months.

Well, that was it, I guess.

I went to 2— I went to 3 countries:

Thailand, Vietnam, Japan this year.

And then had like some drama with the

girlfriend, nearly got dumped.

Did some camping trips, Khao Yai.

But people don't care about that kind of

content.

They just want like crazy people,

characters.

Oh, I stream sniped Ice.

That was quite

Funny.

This year's been tough though.

I feel like I've been very restricted.

Financially restricted,

which is why I had to stay in Thailand.

And also I'm in a relationship, which

brings other restrictions.

It's not like 2022

where I had complete freedom, but people

said 2022 was boring as well.

I just did driving, didn't I?

Went to Malaysia.

I had a 5% gain over the year on my port—

stock portfolio.

Not bad.

If I just invested in the S&P, I would

have had 20% though.

But I tried to pick my own stocks.

I got a 5% return

year over year.

My bank offered me an 8% interest savings

account, which I signed up for.

If I just put my money into that, I would

have made more money putting it in a

savings account.

But then I can't take the money out.

It says if I do more than 3 withdrawals

the interest rate would drop down to 2%.

So I don't think I would not be able to

take money out because I might need it.

Maybe next year I'll have a higher return.

I feel like I'm a bit better at investing

now.

It's better than the first year where I

lost like £15,000.

At least I made money this year.

I'm hoping next year I'll make a bit more

so I can grow.

But over the year of investing, I only

made— I mean, if I lock it in now, I would

have only made about £650 over a year.

It's so rubbish.

I miss the wild videos about your love

doll.

Hmm, that stuff just doesn't work anymore,

and the CPM is so rubbish because it's

like a weird topic.

What would I do?

That kind of stuff's funny when you're

young, but then when it's like coming from

a middle-aged man in his mid-30s, it's

just kind of cringe in a sad way.

I've also kind of grown up a bit.

I don't really find this

sexual stuff funny anymore.

I'm interested in stocks and finance,

savings, budgeting,

interest rates.

I'm like really boring now.

That's why people got bored of me, because

I changed.

That's the problem with YouTube.

You blow up because people liked the way

you were in one moment of time, but then

you change as a person and then they don't

like you anymore.

I think the secret to success on YouTube

is not to change.

To try and remain as the person you were

when you blew up is really difficult

though.

The whole women stuff and relationship

Like bragging about getting laid.

It's just lame.

Not even close.

The secret is consistency.

Yeah, consistency with being the person

that people found you as, which they like.

You just contradicted yourself.

That's what I'm saying.

You got to be consistent as a person.

Not be like, oh, I'm— oh, I want to talk

about that guy.

Who knows that guy?

Chris Pirillo.

His channel was called something like

Locker Gnome.

I just remembered him and I decided to

look him up and his channel is so dead.

He used to be huge.

At one point he was like the biggest tech

channel.

Bigger than Marques Brownlee, bigger than

Unbox Therapy, bigger than Linus.

Like back in the early 2000s, he was the

biggest tech channel.

He's got like 200 million views

and then he gets like 500 views now.

And I looked him up, did some digging.

People were trying to talk about why or

how he fell off.

Apparently he had like a mental breakdown

because Trump became president and he's

like a super SJW.

And then he's like splurged out and he was

like a vegan.

And then he was— he just like mentally

lost it.

And then he refused to do tech videos

anymore and he just did vlogs with his

daughter.

His channel completely died.

See, that's what I'm saying.

You change so much, you end up just

destroying your own brand.

So you got to be consistent in the way of

staying as the same person that blew you

up.

But that guy's falloff is amazing.

Apparently he's a massive douche.

He also said keep people guessing.

Yeah, but in like the same way.

I mean, I don't know what I'm saying.

Within the same category of content that

you're known for, not just like suddenly

randomly do how to play golf lesson 1.

It's got to be within your niche.

No, I think when the YouTuber changes a

lot, that's when they fall off.

I mean, look at iDubbbz.

He fell off as well because he changed a

lot.

People don't recognize him as the person

they were fans of anymore, so they got

bored.

Look at PewDiePie.

He changed as well.

He grew up, he matured, stopped doing the

stuff that blew him up.

He's still got a big audience, but it's

nothing what it used to be.

People grow up and they mature and then

they just become boring.

Oh, look at Simon and Martina.

That Simon guy became weird as well and

got all into philosophy and books, and

then his channel died.

Filthy Frank able to grow up a mature— he

quit YouTube.

He's not even on YouTube anymore.

He just completely changed his career.

His fans now don't even know he was Filthy

Frank.

They all know him as Joji, the musician.

I hate his music.

It sucks.

I'm not a Joji fan.

So he lost me as a fan when he stopped

being Filthy Frank,

but he gained new fans.

The thing you pivot to

has to be good though.

I guess enough people like his music.

I think his music's so boring.

It's just him mumbling.

It's got no energy.

It's just like some depressed half-Asian

guy making music, and all his music's just

depressing.

Doesn't— it just makes me feel like I want

to fall asleep.

I think he is depressed.

Look at his eyes.

He's got like that dead inside look with

the eye bags as well.

And he's always so emo.

His content is always like

dark, dark humor.

People who make dark humor are usually

depressed

or they've got dark thoughts.

His Filthy Frank content was always like

dark and weird,

and then his music's also like dark and

weird.

I reckon he's depressed, or he's got like

some kind of internal conflict,

as half-Asian guys seem to always have.

I think his pink guy music was funny.

Anime Man doesn't seem depressed, but he

definitely gets triggered when Japanese

people don't see him as a Japanese person.

See, that's what I'm saying about

PewDiePie's kid.

I was saying his kid's going to grow up in

Japan, no one's going to see him as

Japanese, and it's going to cause

self-identity problems.

All the idiots in the comments are like,

oh, you don't know anything, stop

projecting, it's none of your business.

There's plenty of white people in Japan

living great lives.

They're so dumb.

You literally got the anime man who's half

Japanese but doesn't look Japanese

constantly whining about Japanese people

not seeing him as Japanese.

So he literally proves my point that you

will be miserable if you feel like you

don't fit in and Fundamentally, human

beings want to fit in, so they seek places

where they fit in.

I got all the stupid PewDiePie viewers

bombarding my comment section.

They have no idea what they're talking

about.

They're like, oh, I'm Hispanic, I grew up

in America and I'm fine.

Yeah, because America is just like Japan,

isn't it?

Not.

And then you probably grew up in like a

community with a lot of other Hispanics.

It's not even anywhere near the same

thing.

Don't know if PewDiePie is going to spend

his whole life in Japan.

Well, if they bought a house there and

they've like set up a life there, I would

say they'd spend the majority of it there.

Sure, they can go on trips.

They would like spend a couple weeks in

Sweden visiting family maybe.

But that's not a good thing either.

The kid's gonna have no stability, keep

moving around everywhere.

Kids need a stable home,

not living in a different country every 6

months.

And they say PewDiePie's rich, he can just

solve any problem with money.

Well, that's not good either.

Look at Elliot Rodger.

His dad was rich too and just bought him

everything.

He ended up becoming a psycho.

People are so stupid.

Complete idiots.

Yet money solves everything, doesn't it?

No rich person has ever been sad, right?

No rich kid has ever grown up sad and

miserable, right?

If the kid attends normal Japanese school,

he's gonna get bullied the eff.

Japanese kids are ruthless.

They'll just make fun of you,

call him gaijin and stuff like that.

Yeah, some kids will think he's cool

because they're interested in America and

they want to learn English.

But I reckon the majority of Japanese kids

will be like, I don't know, they'd look at

a white kid as, as like a zoo animal,

something interesting, weird,

like an anomaly.

And then the worst kids will just plain

out bully him, make fun of his blonde hair

or something.

So then they'll say, well, he'll just go

to an international school, then he'll

just grow up in like a gaijin bubble in

Japan.

I guess George Trumbly would disagree

because he grew up in Japan, didn't he?

And he had a great life.

He wasn't born in— I forgot his story.

I think

he was born in America, but then he moved

to an army base with his dad, and then he

spent part of his childhood growing up in

Japan.

But he wouldn't say he's Japanese.

He'd say he's American.

So it's not really the same.

I don't know, it depends, I guess, what

kind of mentality you have

to life.

I guess we'll see.

Do you think PewDiePie's kid will make a

YouTube channel, or will he just vanish

from the public eye?

Imagine PewDiePie 50 years old and he's

still making videos and stuff.

Maybe like Casey Neistat does.

Well, it was a great topic to make a video

about.

That was my best video the whole year.

You see, that's what I'm saying.

When you've got a lot to say about a

topic, you can make a video and come

across genuine.

And whether the opinion is taken well or

badly doesn't matter because people will—

they'll, they'll bite the bait.

If you don't care about what you're

talking about, it kind of shows.

And people won't bite the bait as well.

But when there's a topic where you feel

like you can really add a lot to the

conversation, make a video about it,

damn, the video blows up big.

I'd say the most important thing about

doing YouTube is being genuine

and actually caring about what you're

talking about, because it's so hard to

fake it.

People see through it.

It's really hard to make videos if you

don't know what to talk about.

Trying to find things to talk about is the

hardest bit.

And as someone who doesn't really care

about anything, it's tricky.

Like, right now I just don't care about

anything.

Does anyone else feel like the internet is

really quiet?

Is it because of Christmas?

Like, my whole Discord is completely

quiet.

The YouTube channel feels so quiet.

Everything's just quiet.

It's kind of weird.

Does anyone use Revolut?

R-E-V-O-L-U-T.

It's, it's like a finance app.

It's kind of like a banking app.

I just started using it.

So I was talking to my sister.

I asked her, do you want to buy my yen?

She said, okay.

And then she said her boyfriend bought

some yen as well.

So I said, oh, what rate did he get?

What exchange rate?

And she said he got ¥180 per pound.

And I was like, what?

How does he get such a good rate?

I bought my cash from the post office.

They gave me a rate of ¥174.

And she said he uses an app called Revolut

and there's no fee.

So you get the exchange rate based off

what it is right now.

So now I feel kind of dumb because I

always used to just buy cash from the post

office usually and then pay a fee.

So I'd get like a worse rate than the

actual exchange rate.

And I've been paying loads in ATM fees.

Apparently you can get like a card from

Revolut and then you have fee-free

withdrawals from ATMs up to a certain

amount depending on your membership.

So I ordered a card,

said it's going to come in January, then

asked my mum to send it to me and then see

if I can actually take out money from the

ATMs without a fee.

I wonder if there's still a fee

because I've been paying like £20 a month

on ATM fees.

So you can just buy currencies on the app.

I bought £10 of yen, which is ¥2,000.

Well, £11.11.

And it gave me an exchange rate of exactly

what the real exchange rate is without any

fees.

So now I've got ¥2,000 in my Revolut

account.

Now how do I use it?

I use Google Wallet so I could tap and

pay, and then when I get my card, I can

use the ATM to take it out

without any fees.

That's what it says, but I don't know if

the ATM would have like its own fee.

So I reckon you still get the ATM fee but

not the bank fee.

I don't know what bank fee I'm being

charged,

but if I don't withdraw it and I use tap

to pay, then I wouldn't have any fees,

wouldn't I?

It's kind of cool.
