[2024-12-05] why i hate my job [0VrQ7Rt3eZY]

Testing.

Oh, what?

Oh, phew.

Oh, got worried there.

Testing.

Oh, I didn't turn off his stream.

It's Dr Disrespect.

Apparently he's on Rumble as well now.

So I guess he's not getting remonetized on

YouTube. I didn't think he would.

Didn't I

get paid today? Um,

Yeah, but the problem is I

spent all the money straight away as I got

it to pay off my overdraft. So I went

into overdraft to pay off my credit card,

and then today I spent my week

earnings on paying the overdraft. I made a

lot of money though. Look, where is it?

Um, I made this much first week of

December. Pretty good,

£621. I've never made that much doing

Amazon Flex in one week. Usually I just

make about £400,

maybe £420.

So the 621 is pretty nice. That's mostly

thanks to Black Friday giving me lots of

blocks, but I can't seem to get any now.

Been refreshing, but I've got nothing for

Thursday and Friday. Got one on Saturday.

Why do I keep overdrafting? Because I want

to feel good about paying off my credit

card. So I go into overdraft so

I get like a confidence boost by seeing

the credit card debt go down, knowing that

I'll pay off the overdraft next week when

I get paid next time.

How's December CPM? Yeah, it's good. It's

good like usual, it's just the views have

been really sucky.

People are not really very interested in

my Amazon Flex videos. They get like 3K

views. I've made one more. I think I won't

make any more. I've done 4 now. It's

basically the same thing every time. Load

up the car, deliver the packages, Shout at

my mom. Yeah, I think 4 is enough.

I'll post the 4th one probably tomorrow.

It's getting difficult to try and find new

ways of shooting it.

I think I get an overdraft fee. I asked

AI, he said if you got £700 overdraft

for a week, it'll cost you like £2

interest.

So I don't mind paying a couple pounds in

interest just to see the credit card debt

go down substantially. Yeah, today was

pretty rubbish. The route was nearer to my

house, but it was all middle of nowhere

countryside farm roads.

Half of them were farms and cottages.

Some of them were like creepy Resident

Evil 7 shack in the woods kind of places.

It was really creepy. One of them just

looked like, I don't know, like some gypsy

person bought a piece of land and then

just lives in a shack on the land. I

didn't see anyone there. I snuck in,

dropped the parcel, snapped a photo, and

legged it. And then I went into one little

road to deliver a parcel, but there was no

way to turn around in the road because the

old woman had erected like a metal rod to

prevent people using her driveway to turn

around in. So I had to reverse all the way

back to the main road. I say main

road, it was really just like another tiny

country lane, and it was pitch black. I

reversed into a tree and hit the tree.

I checked the back of the car, I don't see

any damage, but it felt pretty hard

when I hit it. The whole car went like

that and you could feel it. My mum was

like, ah, fucking hell, shouting in

my ear. So annoying. I don't know why

the parking sensors weren't beeping. I

mean, it was beeping the whole time.

Because everything's so close to the car,

so I just started ignoring the beeping.

And I couldn't see behind you because,

you know, headlights are great and

everything, but the braking lights are

rubbish. So they really need headlights

for the back of the car so you can see

where you're reversing. I can't see

anything, it's all black, and the camera

is all black. All I can see is like a red

glow from the brake lights, and there's no

point trying to film it, it would have

just all been black. Completely pitch

black out there.

Yeah, you try reversing down a tiny

country lane in the pitch blackness with

your mum screaming next to you.

I was going really slow, like 1 miles per

hour, but I bumped into a tree and it made

the whole car go like that. You can really

feel everything when you hit something,

but I didn't break anything, so I don't

really care.

It took ages to like 3 hours today because

I couldn't go fast. All the country lanes

were so windy and small. I could only do

about 30 miles per hour max,

and all the houses were so spread apart,

spread far from each other.

Yeah, I have a rearview camera,

obviously, but when it's dark, it's not

much use, is it? Because you can't see

anything out of it.

She was a bit annoying today because a lot

of these country houses, they'll have a

gate, and some of these country houses

have a lock on the gate, and the house is

quite far from the gate. I'm not gonna

jump over the gate and run to the door to

drop off the parcel. They might have a dog

running around. So I just leave it at the

gate, take a photo, and get back in the

car. My mum's like, No, take it in. Why

can't you take it to the house? Why don't

you put it on the other side of the gate?

So she gets out the car and then tosses

the parcel. I don't know where she tossed

it, but I've already taken a photo of the

parcel by the gate. Now the customer is

going to see the photo and then see that

the parcel's not there. I hope they found

where she tossed it. It was so irritating.

Just stay in the car and let me do my job.

God, I kept leaving parcels at gates and

she kept whinging about it, as if anyone's

gonna steal a parcel in the middle of

nowhere countryside. Who cares?

I'm not gonna risk getting attacked by a

dog. A lot of these places had dogs just

roaming around behind the gate.

I pulled up at one house, massive dog just

casually strolls up to the gate.

I was gonna film today, but it was just

not very interesting. Just countryside. I

think it's more interesting when I'm doing

more town kind of routes.

I'm really starting to hate dogs. Why

can't they just chill out? I went to

one house and there was this big dog

sitting by the window and he was nice. He

just sat there peacefully, looked at me,

then looked down again. He's probably old,

that's why. I like it when dogs are nice

and peaceful, but 90% of dogs, they're

just like barking and running, can't chill

the eff down.

Can't they be like cats and just relax?

I'm just gonna be running and panting.

Why are they so excited about everything?

I just find them really annoying.

Yeah, so a lot of these houses had these

big gates, so I just left parcels at

the gate. Didn't want to go into the

driveway bit,

and then my mum kept whining about it.

Went to some really big houses too. These

houses were massive, got their own little

personal road leading to the house. And

then you get to the house and saw these

expensive cars like Aston Martins or

whatever they're called, Ferraris,

Porsches. Saw a Lamborghini in one of them

once. What do these people do? How they

just— they live in the middle of nowhere

in a massive house like a mansion. And

they've got all these sports cars. I

wonder what they do for a living.

They just have completely different— they

live in a completely different world,

don't they?

I bet they do investing,

stock market, option trading.

But those areas, I don't know, it does

look nice. I took a video, hold on, I'll

show you. It just seems so isolated.

Look,

the English countryside.

It's just endless

fields. They got— it's crazy,

they got so much space. But they

can't be bothered to make the roads even a

tiny bit wider. They're so stupid.

So much empty space, woodlands,

massive fields. All it would

take is like this much wider and it would

make life so much easier.

But no, they're like, oh, we're gonna go

down our stupid country lanes in our 4x4s.

And then give way in these little tiny

give-way areas.

All their little speed bumps and potholes.

Oh my god, countryside sucks.

Everything sucks. Countryside sucks,

towns suck. The only nice places

are the little residential housing areas.

With lots of parking.

Is there some kind of rule as to how to

handle if the person has a dog?

There's actually a button in the app

saying unable to deliver because of

dog,

but how does Amazon know that you're not

lying? Because what if they don't have a

dog and you just can't be bothered? You'd

just be like, this one has dog, this one

has dog. How do they prove that

they don't have a dog? Because if I'm a

customer and it says parcel undelivered

because of my dog, I'd be like, what dog?

Can the customer press I don't have a dog?

And then I can press he does have a dog.

Oh yeah, I didn't— I don't think I'm gonna

get in trouble for refusing to deliver

that parcel. Because my dashboard

updated, still got 100%

perfect standings.

So seems like I can just refuse to deliver

stuff and say they got a dog, because I

sent the parcels back, uh, 2 days ago,

and if I was in trouble, I think I'd know

by now.

And oh, I had to refuse to deliver another

parcel yesterday. It was like a big box

air compressor. I took it to the house. A

girl or woman answered the door and she

said, oh, that's for my sister. I said,

okay, do you have the code? So she tries

ringing her sister and the sister's at

work, so she doesn't pick up. And then she

says, Um, can you come back tomorrow

to deliver it? And I couldn't be bothered

to explain to her that no, I won't come

back tomorrow. It won't be me delivering

it again, it'll be some other driver

delivering it again, and it won't be

coming tomorrow because I'm not going to

take it back today. I'm going to take the

parcel back tomorrow because I can't be

bothered to go back to the stupid

warehouse again. I'm going home after

this. I already drove 40 minutes

to come all the way here from Maidstone

all the way to Folkestone. You think I'm

gonna drive all the way back to Maidstone

to return the parcel and go home? I just

went straight home afterwards. So I left

the parcel in my car overnight, and you're

supposed to return the parcel before 10

AM, but I had a 2 PM shift today.

I'm not going to the Amazon warehouse

before 10 AM to return the parcel, and

then what, sit around for 4 hours until my

shift starts? So I returned the parcel

before my shift started at 1 PM or

something. Hopefully I don't get in

trouble for not returning it before 10 AM.

It's such a stupid rule. Why can't they

just say return it the next day anytime?

Why does it have to be 10 AM? Don't tell

me what to do. Not following your stupid

rules. Stupid customer buys an expensive

thing and then doesn't even stay at home

to receive it or tell her sister what the

code is. I hate this password thing.

I mean, it's obvious that it would have

been safe to leave the parcel with her

sister in her nice house,

but if I had done that without entering

the code, Amazon would have thought I

stole the parcel or something. This whole

passcode thing is so stupid.

Well, she could have at least written a

note and left it on the door with the code

on it. Although technically I'm not

supposed to accept that. I'm only supposed

to accept the code coming directly from

them in front of me, not over the phone.

Yeah, I guess it was expensive, so

anything over a couple hundred pounds you

would need a passcode before,

before I could hand it over, which is

really annoying if the customer's not

there because then I have no choice but

to— I can't guess the passcode. I have to

take it back to the Amazon warehouse. I

can't do any of my tricks. Anything else,

like you get difficulties delivering

something, you got tricks that you can do,

like just leave it at the doorstep, take a

photo and leave,

toss it over the bush, take a photo,

leave.

But with the passcode, without the

passcode, there are no tricks. I mean,

you could— I guess you could guess the

passcode It's a 6-digit number, so what,

you'd have 90,000

possibilities, 100,000 possibilities,

sit there guessing it one by one.

Oh, Sunny messaged me.

She said, was it a good shift? I said,

no, it was horrible. Shifts have been

really bad recently, taking me really far

away and then lots of farm routes.

I don't know why they keep giving me

horrible shifts. They used to be quite

good, nice and local.

It's just been really bad recently.

I think the countryside farm routes are

better than the town centers. Town centers

are even worse because I was delivering

yesterday and I had to stop at this house,

but it was like the house was surrounded

by double yellow lines and lots of

traffic. I couldn't just stop with all the

traffic behind me on a busy road, so I

kept going round and round trying to find

a place to park. And then I saw the, um,

the ticket guy walking around in his

high-vis, and he was writing a ticket for

something. I thought, because I parked on

double yellow lines, I thought maybe I can

ask him if it's okay if I park here, but

he was taking ages, so I just got back in

the car, drove round again, and found a

little parking bay up a different road,

and then I had to run back to the house

carrying all the Morrison bags.

But I've parked— I parked in a disabled

parking bay, and I heard if you don't have

the blue badge thing in your car, you can

get a fine for doing that. But I'm

desperate. It was so stressful trying

to find a damn place to park.

Technically, I'm allowed to stop on the

yellow lines because I'm not parking, I'm

unloading. But the problem is traffic

wardens and stuff, they don't know that

I'm delivering because my car just looks

like a normal car. I heard people put a

sign on the car saying, I'm delivering,

be right back. I don't know if that

actually works, because if it works, why

doesn't everyone just do that? Then they

can park anywhere.

Amazon should give us special badge or

something, or at least pay for our fines

in case we get fined.

Really sucky getting fined just trying to

do your job.

My car must be caked in mud and you really

need to clean it. I also need to go to

town tomorrow to pick up my new glasses.

She said,

why do they keep sending you on horrible

routes? I'm going to say maybe because I'm

a pro driver after all these

months, so they think I can handle it.

Or maybe they're giving me all the shit

routes because they want me to quit

because they're not happy with me or

something, so they're like trying to make

me leave voluntarily.

Wow, low viewer count today. Last stream

I had 150 viewers.

Last stream title was just Worst Day Ever,

wasn't it?

Why didn't Sunny come on stream chat? She

came last stream.

Types with thumb and middle finger. Yeah,

cuz I got sugar on my index finger.

No, everything's good with Sunny now.

It's all fine.

When am I getting a new gadget? I've got

this camera, remember?

The Insta360 Go.

Insta360 must hate me because

I made a video about the 360 camera,

remember, in Thailand, and they sent me an

email asking if I would take the video

down. Felt kind of bad because they're

really nice. They were like,

here are some tips and tricks to improve

your experience with the Insta360 X.

After reading these tips, would you

consider taking down your video

and making one in a more positive light?

I just ignored them. That video has

140,000 views now.

I feel a bit bad just shitting on

everything all the time, especially when

the company finds out and they're trying

to be reasonable with me.

At least they didn't like strike me or

take legal action. Calm down, I'm just

clickbaiting. No one actually cares what I

I'm just gaming the algorithm.

No one even takes me seriously anyway.

Oh, this makes me so thirsty.

I should have been like, I want $1,000 or

else I won't take down the video.

It's like, it's like the opposite

of getting a sponsor deal. I hold the

company at ransom. Give me $1,000

or else I'll make another one about why it

sucks.

Yeah, do you like my new Christmas jumper?

I'm so hungry now after working because

I keep parking really far from the house

and I have to run all the way there. I'm

burning so many calories.

I gotta start thinking about buying

Christmas presents. I think I've found a

good present for my sister. I think she'll

It's cool, it's useful, and it aligns

with her hobbies and interests. And I've

got one for Sunny too. The total

of my Christmas shopping, I think it's

going to be about £300.

I like to buy presents because a Christmas

tree without any or many presents is kind

of sad, isn't it? It's nice to see— it's

nice to go downstairs and the Christmas

tree is surrounded by presents, and then

you watch people open the presents

excitedly.

I thought I'd get my sister something

really random like a cheese grater because

it would be funny, but maybe I'll get like

a proper present.

Me and Sunny spent

hours trying to defeat that boss in

Resident Evil 7. What's his name? Jack

Baker, the half-naked white guy with a

massive axe. So we're looking up tutorials

how to defeat him, and he makes this funny

chicken turkey noise when you chainsaw him

in the head. Boss was so annoying.

You're stuck in a cage and he jumps down.

It's like a cage fight. And then you have

a chainsaw battle with him. He has a

chainsaw, you have a chainsaw, and you got

to run around to chainsaw his backside and

kick these swinging corpses at him to slow

him down. It took ages. I was getting so

The bosses in Resident Evil 7, really

No, I don't have Let's Play footage.

We got quite far in it, defeated the old

granny spider woman, with a spider's nest

coming out of her crotch.

It's not really scary, it just jump

scares you a lot when you're going around

corners. It jump scares you, but it's not

spooky. Resident Evil 2 and 3 were spooky,

like the whole police station getting

overrun, and then you're investigating

what happened through the notes.

That's spooky.

Last video was very good. The editing is

better. Oh, I thought it was lazy because

I didn't even do anything special like

music and stuff.

I made one more video today.

That I filmed yesterday, I think it's

gonna be my last one.

I think 4 videos vlogging my work is

enough because it's basically the same

thing over and over again.

Probably make $60 from the 4 videos,

maybe $80.

They're all going to get about 4K views,

probably maybe

after a month, 5 or 6K views.

It's crazy that there's these tiny

channels that have like 10K views.

But all their content is about gig work

and driving, and they get more views than

I do, and I've got 10 times their sub

count. I don't know why my subs just don't

care about anything I make anymore.

Even when I do something new, they don't

click it.

They just forgot about me.

Now all these other channels are fairly

new-ish, like within a year new,

so all the viewers are quite active. So

they post, they'll get— even though they

only got 10k subs, they'll get 10k views.

People just forgot about me and then

didn't bother to keep checking up.

To get a new wave of viewers, you have to

make new content that goes viral. If you—

if it doesn't go viral, you won't get any

new viewers. It has to go viral, even if

it's mini viral, like 10K views would be

mini, mini viral.

But nothing I do seems to go viral. I

don't get it.

These other channels, they don't have good

video quality. They're all just shooting

on their phones, barely any editing.

It's just like vlog style. You don't need

to have high quality and a nice camera.

All these people who have 5K subs,

below 10K subs, they're all shooting on

their phone.

I had one video. On my 4th channel, or was

it my 3rd channel? I think it was my 3rd

channel. I had one video get some views.

It was the why I,

why I moved to Thailand or something. Got

10K views,

but I didn't really get an audience out of

it because I kept posting videos and they

just got less and less views. So I gave

YouTube's not easy.

Amazon Flex, not easy either. It's really

tiring and stressful and dangerous.

I don't know how postmen do their jobs

because they have to stop at every house

because every house will have some post,

won't it?

See if there's any blocks.

Nothing. Well, maybe I'll

get a day off tomorrow. I have to get my

new glasses, see if they help my vision.

Yeah, the pay's good,

especially recently because of Black

Friday.

But it doesn't feel very stable. Like,

I'm sitting here tapping refresh wondering

if I'm gonna get any work tomorrow.

Sometimes there have— there has been a few

days where I went without working just

because I couldn't get any blocks. There

was just nothing.

And I'm too lazy to go out and do Uber

Eats. I really don't like doing Uber Eats.

There's just something very depressing

about sitting outside McDonald's waiting

to get orders.

And then they want you to go drive 20

minutes for £4, something pathetic.

Like, oh, Sainsbury's wants me to come

pick up groceries for £3.60 and drive

a mile. But you know it's going to take

probably 5 to 10 minutes to get to

Sainsbury's if there's no traffic, and

then you gotta park, and then you gotta

get out the car and go pick up the stuff.

That will take, what, 5, 6 minutes?

And then you got to go and drive to the

place. All in all, it'd be like 15 to 20

minutes to make £3. It's so miserable.

I'd rather just come home and do a

livestream. I'd probably make the same

amount.

And then you gotta pay £1.40 insurance for

an hour. The annoying thing about the

insurance is, so I— the way I thought it

would work is you accept

the job and then you take it, deliver it,

and say for example that took you 5

minutes of driving, then I thought that

would count as 5 minutes of insurance and

then it would pause and then you take the

next job and then that's 10 minutes. But

it doesn't work like that. As soon as you

accept the first job the 1-hour timer

starts ticking and you get charged £1.40

for an hour. So you're like frantically

trying to do as much as you can within the

hour, because if you only made £5 in an

hour and then insurance was £1.40, you

won't be making much. And then the next

hour starts, another £1.40 gets charged.

It's really stupid.

Because you could deliver one McDonald's

and then sit around for 30 minutes doing

nothing because you couldn't get anything

because you were stuck in a jam, and then

not get the second job until 30, 40

minutes later. Then you've only made £10

in an hour, and then you've been charged

£1.40 for the insurance.

Go without insurance, very risky.

When I got pulled over by the police last

week, they didn't ask for my Amazon

insurance.

Where's my mum?

Sending me a picture of a door with a

package. Oh, that's our

door. She sent a picture of Her

parcel being delivered to our door. Yeah,

that's what I do. I just leave it by the

door and I take a picture. That's what

everyone does. She said, no wonder

I can't find it at the front door.

Then you should have checked your app.

Don't blame the delivery man because she

can't check your app. It literally says in

the app where it was delivered with a

photo.

Why is your mum always screaming at you in

videos? That's how she talks all the time.

People think I'm being rude to her, but

you don't understand how annoying it is

constantly being yelled at and told what

to do. She really loves telling people

what to do. I noticed that. Not just to

me, everyone. My sister, Dave Gibson,

everyone. She loves trying to boss people

about. I don't know why. It's like she

thinks she knows best all the time and

everyone's doing everything wrong.

Uh, Sunny bought Rainbow Six. We're going

to play together.

Why do we pay for separate Amazon

accounts? No, she doesn't have Amazon,

she uses Temu. So now whenever she wants

something off Amazon, I've got to order it

for her, and I have to order it for Dave

Gibson cuz I've got Amazon Prime.

Can't get tips if you don't knock.

I don't know if anyone gives tips for

delivering Amazon parcels. I've had tips

for delivering Morrisons, but never for

I don't care about tips. I tried

complaining to Amazon about being sent to

East Sussex, but they just said, we have

decided we already paid you enough. To be

fair though, they did pay me extra. It was

£68 instead of £58,

but I thought that's just what it was

supposed to be anyway.

I'm not very friendly looking and good

with— I'm not good with customer service,

so I don't think I'd get tips,

but I'd rather just not have to see the

person. I can't be bothered sometimes. I

mean, most of the time they are friendly,

I guess. Just sometimes you get weird

people complain and stuff like that.

I think I look quite unintimidating.

Maybe I look a bit shady. I always look

kind of suspicious, like I'm up to no

good.

When I fly, do I only carry one bag?

Yeah, just my backpack.

I haven't used proper luggage that goes

into the luggage hold since 2010.

I used to check in my luggage. I used to

have like a big duffel bag that rugby

players use, sling over your shoulder.

That had to get checked in, but it's so

annoying having to wait at the conveyor

belt for your luggage to come down. One of

the things I hated traveling with Chihiro

was she'd bring a big suitcase and then

we'd be standing around for ages waiting

for it to be unloaded and come down the

conveyor belt, and I'm just standing there

with my backpack ready to go like 40

minutes ago thinking, if you had a

backpack too, we could have been gone by

If it doesn't all fit in the backpack,

then you're doing something wrong. But

then women need to take a lot of stuff—

makeup, different outfits.

It must be so annoying being a woman. If I

was a woman, I don't think I'd bother

putting makeup on. Just have some

lipstick, that's fine. But you get some

women, they got like a bag Like a

makeup bag full of loads of stuff.

Foundation, the brush,

the little mirror.

I think just a little bit of lipstick's

fine.

Don't need to paint your whole face.

I'd rather no lipstick though, because it

rubs off on my lips when I want to kiss.

I'm just saying, if I was a girl, I

wouldn't need like a big bag for makeup.

I'd just carry a little bit of lipstick.

Besides, if I was a girl, I'd be hot, so I

wouldn't need makeup, would I?

I think I made a pretty hot girl when I

was in Manchester with my wig.

Do I miss the thrill of traveling? Not

really. It wasn't a thrill. It was like

anxiety, discomfort,

and going through loads of money.

The only thrill would

be— I don't know,

I didn't really like going on the dates.

Just made me feel really miserable.

I only did it so much because I wanted to

get a girlfriend. That was like

the only motivation to travel and

also to move out. I thought if I'm going

to move out, might as well move out to

Japan. Then move out to Maidstone or some

English place.

Yeah, the first time was exciting,

especially back then. They didn't have

smartphones back then. It was 2010.

Most people didn't have smartphones yet,

only rich people. You saw someone using an

iPhone, you'd think, wow, they're rich,

they can afford it. £600-£700 phone.

Everyone else is using like £100 Nokia or

something. It's so crazy to think back in

those days people were considered rich

and well-off if they could get such an

expensive phone.

Yeah, it was weird traveling. Imagine

traveling to Japan with no smartphone, no

Google Maps, no Google Translate, no

internet. You couldn't get internet unless

you were rich and could afford like an

overseas SIM card data thing, which I

wasn't rich enough to be able to get that.

So I always used to travel to Japan with

no internet. I think it wasn't until 2017

I started to use internet, but before that

I would just go to Japan, have everything

downloaded on my phone, videos, music,

stuff like that. And I would also— I

would just go into the convenience stores

and use their free Wi-Fi if I needed

internet. Or usually they

have internet at train— at big train

stations. And then if you get lost, you

just have to ask someone. My dad printed

out all these maps and stuff to help me

get to the guest house. I remember the

first time I went, printed— my dad used to

print everything out. He would print the

plane ticket, print the insurance thing,

print the maps out, then give me this big

wad of papers.

So I had a flip phone. I think I still got

it in my drawer. And all you can do is

text and phone people on it. And maybe

there was like a really, really basic

internet browser, but you couldn't really

do much on it. It's not like smartphone

browser now. It was like all text-based.

It was so bad, so bad back then.

Things are really good now with the

technology and apps. Apps are so

A 2 PM Gravesend shift? No,

it's so tempting. 2 PM is good,

but I am traumatized by Gravesend.

I hate Gravesend because Chatham is

near Gravesend and there's a high chance

of being sent to Chatham from Gravesend,

and I got pulled over in Chatham,

or outskirts of Chatham near Gillingham.

And then I also nearly had a very

dangerous incident on the roundabout going

to Gravesend Morrison where

I got all confused and I was like, oh,

I'm gonna turn left suddenly. Oh,

actually I won't. And then I got horned at

on the roundabout. Lucky I didn't crash.

It was really bad. If the police saw me

do that, I would have gotten another

ticket. Oh, there's more Gravesend.

Morrison's dropping. Come on, Maidstone or

Canterbury. I don't want Gravesend.

Gravesend is surrounded by horrible

places. It's surrounded by all the rubbish

Medway towns like Rochester, Gillingham,

Chatham, and to the northwest

you start getting into London, like

Northfleet, Ebbsfleet, all the horrible

places around the river. River Thames.

It's still there.

Half past 3, £27.

Come on, someone take it. I don't want to

see it there. Look, it's not going.

Usually they get taken straight away.

No one's taking it. I'm not going

there. I'm gonna get pulled over again.

Chatham's such a horrible place to drive.

I accidentally drove in the bus lane, but

I haven't heard anything, so I don't think

I got caught.

What was

I saying? And it's charged by

I noticed in the new iOS update they've

finally added a pause button to the video

camera. Android had that for years.

That was the best thing about Android

because you could vlog and then press the

pause button on the video when you wanted

to pause the video and then just resume

recording when something interesting

happens instead of end the video, start a

new recording, end the video, and have

like 15 different video files, which would

happen on the iPhone. Now iPhone lets you

do the same, and now iPhone also

lets you enable the flash when recording,

which Android has been able to do for

ages. But iPhone still doesn't let you

switch or flip the cameras whilst

Yeah, I was just saying that the first

time I traveled to Japan, I didn't have a

smartphone. I had a laptop,

like a notebook, but it's not like you're

gonna whip out the notebook in the middle

of the street. You wouldn't have any

internet either, so it's kind of useless.

My dad bought me that notebook. It was

like a really cheap rubbish notebook,

very slow, probably some kind of

integrated GPU Intel Celeron processor

like that. It was so slow,

very thin, nice to carry around.

Battery life was okay.

It's just

funny to think at one point we used to

travel around not having smartphones and

Maybe that it made it more exciting

without all the technology.

Did I wash my hands? Yeah.

Smell it. Smells like water.

If I pee, I don't wash my hands because I

didn't touch anything. All I touched was

my trousers to pull, pull them down,

and then I used my foot to press the flush

button. So what

am I washing? I didn't even touch anything

dirty.

Ah, got all my vitamins.

My best performing stock or investment?

Probably Bitcoin. It's up 60%.

What else?

I did pretty good with Tesla as well, had

a 40% gain.

I haven't had any losses this year,

they've all been good. China eventually

turned around for a 40% flip, but I

only made 15% because I was down by 20%.

But I

sold all my China. I was in China for

ages. Everyone kept saying sell now,

Daniel, but I knew they were going to

inject stimulus at some point, and then

they did, and then it just went ballistic.

Oh, thank God the Gravesend shift's gone.

I would have been tempted to take it if it

didn't go. It's not worth going to

Gravesend just for £27.

Overall performance is still -54%.

What, me?

My overall performance is down 48%, I

think. But that's only because I took 2

massive risky trades in 2020. Yeah,

2020. I don't really think you can judge

my entire trading investing skills based

off 2 investments that went very, very

bad. It's not very fair.

I think BNGO is nearly at zero.

BNGO was my big stock that I put— I think

I put £12,000 into BNGO and

I sold it at about 50% loss. But the stock

kept dropping. It's now down by 98% or

something. It's still dropping. It's down

to like 0.2 cents

or something like that. No, it's like

zero. $0.20 down from $14.

And then the other one, Microvision, I

don't even know, it's probably like $1

now.

So silly.

I was doing really well. I bought a lot of

other things like Tesla, Macy's,

uh, Bank of America, and I got good

profits out of them. And I put all the

gains into BNGO and then lost everything.

Well, not everything, I lost half of it.

I think this— the secret to my success now

is I don't day trade. I don't trade daily.

I would probably make a trade once every

couple of months. If I

buy a stock, I expect to hold it for at

least half a year before I see it get

any gains. The less trades

you do, the better you do. Just don't keep

trying to get wins all the time.

I feel like I have learned a lot, like

don't put all your money in a penny stock.

And also be wary about cycles.

Like right now in this massive bubble,

the euphoric stage, and then there's

the everyone's depressed stage because the

market crashed. You gotta be aware of the

cycles and stuff like that. I wasn't aware

of it, I just thought it's never gonna

end, the market's just gonna keep going

up.

Invest in an index fund.

I did. I got the China ETF, didn't I?

That dropped by 40% or something.

When you say invest in an index fund,

you're basically saying invest in America,

in an American market fund, aren't you?

Because the only thing that's gone up like

crazy is the American stock market.

Everywhere else hasn't really gone up.

India's gone up quite a lot, but Europe

and the UK have barely gone up much.

I thought I was going to get rich. I

thought I was going to make $100,000,

$200,000, buy a house for my mum.

I honestly thought I was going to hit it.

Big time and get rich, do like a £400,000

trade. I got so greedy. I was like,

oh, imagine if BNGO goes up to $50.

I'll make— and I'll be adding it up on the

calculator— I'll make £87,000.

So delusional.

The whole world in one fund.

Isn't that up like 20%?

Yeah, it's done pretty well, I guess,

but that's boring.

Wow, Bitcoin,

$99,000 now.

When's it going to get to $100,000? It

just won't go above $100,000, will it?

I'm just waiting for it to get well over

£100,000, then I'm gonna sell. I'm up 56%

on Bitcoin and I'm up 2% on SUI, my

altcoin. I've got £20 in it.

Gold hasn't really been doing well. I've

lost £800 value of my portfolio because

gold keeps going down.

Well, Bitcoin's ripping. Oh,

£99,200. Well,

look at it go. We're going to hit £100K

today.

What about Ethereum? Oh, the Russell 2000

is doing pretty well as well.

Gold. Oh, gold, not good.

What's going on with gold?

Gold is not doing well.

ASML is doing well. Look,

it's up 7%.

ASML is my second biggest stock.

Yeah, I got a gold mining company, not a

gold stock. Really, I wish I got the gold

ETF, not a gold miner.

And the problem with gold miners is that,

uh, their profits are affected by other

things like the price of oil. If oil

became cheaper, it would be able to

produce more gold at a better profit, so

it would do well.

Yeah, I've been getting dividends. Get

about £30 4 times a year. It's not really

good, is it? I think I've got maybe £300

or £400 in dividends from them after

holding them for 2 years.

Why am I talking about gold if it's a gold

miner company? Because it basically goes

up and down with gold.

Gold— what's actual gold doing now?

It's probably down. That's why the gold

mine— yes, kind of down.

Well, it's not really down, it's just not

up. It's just kind of flat.

Gold's been completely flat since

November.

It's already gone up loads this year.

It's probably taking a breather.

I'm looking forward to Friday. When the

non-farm payroll comes out, it should

have an effect on the US dollar. I need

the US dollar to weaken for gold and

bonds and

probably ASML to strengthen. I need a

weaker US dollar.

Also, I believe in the fourth turning,

and if you look at Barrick Gold history,

every time there's been like a big crisis,

it does really well.

I just don't know when this next big

crisis is coming. It might not be until 5

years. Look, so this

is Barrick Gold. You see each time it's

done a massive spike Each of those massive

spikes are some kind of crisis.

You got 1990s dot-com bubble,

you got 2007, the GFC. You see that

massive one where it shot up to $42

a share? That was the GFC,

2008. And then

it tanked, and then it shot back up again.

And then it tanked again. Look how much it

tanked. It went from $42 a share all the

way down to $5 a share,

and then it spiked again 2016. I think

that was Trump's China trade war. And then

it spiked again 2020,

COVID. So it only seems to spike massively

when there's a big crisis.

Doesn't it look like it's getting ready to

spike again? Maybe the next big crisis is

coming soon. I wonder what it's

going to be. I don't think— I think the

Israel thing's dying down. There's been

a lot of protests. There's this thing in

Korea that's been on the news.

The president declared martial law because

he's losing popularity, and then all these

protesters came out angry about it, and

now he's backed down. And then there's

protests in Georgia because the government

wants to be pro-Russia. A lot of protests,

a lot of anger. We just

need that spark to ignite everything, and

then my gold stock will go up.

Maybe the Ukraine thing is still in play.

I just don't see either side backing down.

Zelensky's not going to back down.

America's not going to back down. And

Putin's not going to back down.

So how are they going to reach an

agreement?

Barrick is down 8%. Yeah, I know, it's

annoying. It was up 25%, I was really

happy, and then it went down loads.

It went down after Trump won.

I saw— it's all Trump's fault. After Trump

won the election, gold Tanked.

I didn't think Trump was going to win, to

be honest. I really thought Kamala had it,

which should have indicated the opposite

was going to happen since I always seem to

Daniel refusing to deliver a package

because of a bad location. Yeah, it was in

the middle of the woods with no road

accessing it, a little dotted line which

is probably a footpath, in the pitch-black

dark, and it was raining. No thanks.

I really think they should just ban people

from ordering on Amazon if they live in

the middle of nowhere. Or at least put a

warning on the route saying— I just don't

understand it. Countryside and farm

routes, it really should have a warning,

or maybe they should only be given to

people who have an SUV or 4x4.

They don't take into consideration what

kind of vehicle I'm driving. I'm driving a

little small hatchback that was designed

for city driving and town driving, not

driving on pothole roads,

down muddy roads. I was wheel spinning all

over the place, getting stuck in the mud.

Stupid Amazon. Don't want to— because

they don't want to pay people better pay,

I guess, for doing a shitty route. So then

they're just like, oh, you're going to get

a random mystery route. What could it be?

The one that wrecks your suspension and

Problem with an SUV or 4x4 is they guzzle

a lot of gas. They don't have very good

MPGs, don't they?

No, I don't have a spare. There's no room.

If I have a puncture, I don't know what

I'll do. I'll probably just drive very

slowly.

Until I get back to a big road.

Yeah, Amazon doesn't care because there's

thousands of people on the waiting list

desperate to join because they want money

and they've heard how great it is.

But Amazon really needs to have like some

kind of warning. Can't just send people

into these shitholes not knowing or

forcing you. The problem is they force you

to do it because you get there, you don't

know what you're gonna get given, and

you've already accepted the job. If you

refuse it, you'll get massive penalties.

You might even get banned.

What? You can't ask them for a different

one. They'll just be like, you have to do

what you're given.

No, there's no spare tire. There's no

room. Where's it gonna go?

And also, these roads are so narrow,

but even though they're really narrow, I

have been able to do a U-turn in them with

my small car. An SUV or 4x4, they wouldn't

be able to do that. Well, the farmers all

drive in these 4x4 pickup trucks. They

don't care about the potholes. They'll

just be like, oh, go back to the town

roads then.

Yeah, one time I delivered to this farm,

he opened the gate and he was like, oh, I

was expecting a van.

Yeah, well, I wasn't expecting to be sent

down your shitty road full of potholes.

I should have said, why don't you fix your

stupid road?

He'd probably say, oh, to prevent kids

from racing their motorbikes down it.

Does that really happen?

There's no point. He's not gonna fix his
